From within the depths of the battle scared city of Paladin small groups had begun to form and began to slowly scavenge weapons from the remains of the city. But due to the most recent shipment of new fighter speeder hybrid the rebels were forced into hiding until the potrols had somewhat begun to become much simpler. Yet they still lacked one thing:uter power. But they found that power within one of the oldest known locations. That power came in the form of the latent virus called the Black Phoenix for how the person dies. When infected the person would begen to feel insane like the world was against them and then after only four days they would suddenly burst into flames from there own bodys. Yet it had been hidden for almost 15 years. Now the power strugles begen to eather end the legacy of Phalanix or to keep it alive. Yet it seems time is running short for with each passing moment a new soul joins the rebels. Yet it seems that the rebels are waiting and hoping for something to come and aid them.

OOC:Ok I'll invite you in if I want you or just TG me with a reason and I may let you in. Also there is NO CURE!!! And the only way to survie it is to be eather non-human or placed in cryo-storage. Also this might help explain a few lose ends and this RP takes place after the Fall of CC got that! Of and one more thing. No stoping what ever is coming.
And here is the link to the OOC topic

You're going to kill off your country again??

But we need you to help us! lol

Kenja leaned up against him and kissed his shoulder softly. The light shown in from the window, diffused by the sheer fabric in front of it. Her silvery hair was tossled, yet still fell in clean soft waves. Her baby blue eyes looked over Joshua, as he slept, her lips urging for him to wake to face another morning. "I always wanted to see your nation," she said playfully, noticing him stir a bit.
Her demeanor was one of a generally good nature. Her heart was always open, and a smile was forever upon her face. She had gone against her mentor's instuctions by coming, but she was sure that he would not follow. After what had been done to his car, he was more than furious, but her mind did not wander to him in the slightest bit. Her attention was focused elsewhere.

OOC: Note to self. Completely wipe out ruins of Old Phalanix first chance I get. Surprise is bad.

IC: Alexander sighed, and relaxed backwards. "Kelly..." He began, and then stopped. He tried again. "Kelly, how are you coping here in Roania?"

Kelly pondered the question from her position behind Alex's desk. "Well, it's not home. But, it's a great deal closer to home than New Phalanix, I've heard." She smirked. "Also... there are some upsides... such as the handsome young man I'm seeing right now."

Alexander's eyes shot open and stared, horrified, towards the sky. Kelly watched him, and smiled. "I meant you, Alex."

OOC:I'm not wasting the place a second time. Well ok maybe slightly just to create a hugely important incident on Phoenix and Joshua and the rest of the Elites and my characters. And Roania don't try. Kelly might be forced to kick a certain someone's ass. :twisted: Lets just hope not because she is damn hot.
IC:
Joshua smiled when he awoke and sat up letting some sunlight from the window by his room flitter in and hit his bare chest. "Well right now there we are quite lucky that the war is over," Joshua says as suddenly the building rocks and Joshua jumps up. "What the hell?" he says as he moves over to his bedroom table and grabs a MXD.
In the basment of the building a old grenade suddenly went off fallowed by a chain reaction totaly obliterating the main support collum making the building unstable like most of the remains in Paladin.
--------------------------------------------
Dekker just grumbles. Since he had been in Roania he felt like he was in hell but with organics and not his sister AI. For cring out load just admit you would rather be home and find out what realy happened those years ago.
Just quit bitching. I havn't seen Phoenix in what feels like 15 years. And I was ment for combat not this duty. Cortan snarled at Dekker (OOC:How the hell would a AI do that?)

BuMp

Kenja looked at Joshua, and smiled, placing her hand across his chest. She slowely pulled the sheets around her, and reached to the floor, picking up her shirt. The black fabric was pulled about her arms and hooked in the front. She pulled on a pair of baby blue silk pants, and stretched slightly. She was about to say something when the building suddenly shook. She grabbed her two guns,ebony and ivory, from the table nearest her. She looked to Joshua, concerned. "What the hell was that?"

"I'm not.....ah shit," Joshua says as suddenly a black gass begun seeping through the door. There was a fire or something worse. "We have to move now," Joshua says as he quickly laces up his combat boots and kicks open the door totaly leaving behind his shirt and equipment to the blaze.
---------In the basement-------------
A canester of the Black Phoenix virus had been blown wide open and began seeping through the building infecting each and every person it came across as soon as they drew breath they were infected.

OOC:This is gona be a key point so remember about what happens in this building right now

Kenja followed him. Though she seemed to be harmless. Looks can be deceiving. "Considering neither of us needs to breath...the smoke is the least of our worries," she said humorously, though no laugh followed. What the hell is happening here..

"Lets hope your right," Joshua says as he keeps dashing towards the stairs when suddenly he feels no heat. "This can't be right. there isn't any heat in the smoke." Suddenly a sharp pain surged through Joshua and he triped as he steped down a stair.

OOC:Ok just to state the facts No one but Phoenix knows of the virus...yet and it can do damage to a certain person in that building. Just saying that Joshua after prolonged exposure might not be all to well. And not totaly screwed

Kenja pulled him back from falling. "Come with me," she said. "Back to the room. We'll have to jump...but given our current circumstance...and being, that won't be that hard. I have learned a few things from Qui...and one is how to jump out windows so without getting hurt." She said with a smile. She looked into his eyes, and saw something wrong. "Are you alright?"

Dekker just grumbles. Since he had been in Roania he felt like he was in hell but with organics and not his sister AI. For cring out load just admit you would rather be home and find out what realy happened those years ago.
Just quit bitching. I havn't seen Phoenix in what feels like 15 years. And I was ment for combat not this duty. Cortan snarled at Dekker (OOC:How the hell would a AI do that?)

Both of you to knuckleheads shut up!George said. Dekker, want to be put into a toaster? I'm *trying* to compose music based on 14 notes. Very tricky.

Alex sighed. He had never been to Phalanix himself. "It's a pity... that it was destroyed."

"Twice by you, remember!" Kelly said. Alex dismissed that. "Look... if I asked for a favour... would you do it?"

Alex looked up. "What? The moon? The stars? Dekker put into a computer, and then destroyed?"

"I'll take a raincheck on that last one. No... I want to go home."

]You hear that bitch! Cortana shouted at George.
Hey Kelly hurry up and admit you don't like him and are just in it for the sex, Dekker says to Kelly.
Damn it stop it Dekker it isn't funny.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua began holding his chest from the sharp pain and began to suddenly breath in very quick and small breaths. He suddenly gaspeed and totaly fell limp for a momentthen came to again with almost a look of pure evil in his eyes as if something had awoken in side of his body so evil and dark that it was almost like the black color in the smoke around them.

George sniffed, ignoring the uncivilised brutes. You make us look bad.

OOC: Curly, Larry, and Moe!

IC: Alex looked shocked. "Go... home?" Alex said, concerned. "Why?"

"Because..." Kelly thought for a while, "Because I want you to see it."

"See what? What is there to see?"

Kelly's eyes began to water. Alex sighed. "All right. A wedding present, than."

He pushed a button. The Grand Vizier entered the room and bowed. "Your Highness?"

"Me and my fiance are taking a squadron of men and going to Phalanix on a state visit, apparently. You are in charge until I return, Alysanndra."

Lloyd after returning from his assignment had finaly decided to leave the RS and become onf of the Phalanix Elite Fighter Core. With his luck h snaged the rank of comander on his first mision.

Lloyd sighedd as he flipedd hrough the radio stations. Nothing but crap (in other words folk music.) "Damn war took out everything good in this shit-hole nation," Lloyd says over the com to his wingmates.
"Off the record sir f**k you try living through the war," his wingmate replies "And we are wanted at the MICC. Some bomb went off."

The spaceplane winged over Phalanix. Alexander watched as the scarred nation came closer. He sighed. "Kelly, what do you want to see down there?"

"I... just want to show you my home."

Too bad my ech isn't good enough. Or the point I have little time.

Suddenly a wing of 6 speeder fighters fly by the sky plane towards a massive rising cloud of pure black smoke that begun spreading out. Below and easly seen by Kelly is a small squadren of fighter tanks hovering near the landing area.

"What's going on?" Alex asked, sleepily. Kelly sighed, and kissed him.

"Nothing... go to sleep."

The soldiers began to form up, preparing to land.

OOC:Nope Neo just that this is a very very important RP that will effect a small important group of RP characters

Ic:
The group of tanks suddenly armed there cannons and and tooks aim at the sky plane but didn't fire only kept watching.

"What on Earth is going on?" Alex asked as the spaceplane headed towards a semi-intact airport.

"This is the First Spec Ops Fighter Tank Core. Identify yourselves or be shot down."

The pilot opened a channel. "This is Roania Air Force Space Plane #1, carrying Prince Alexander Black and Lady Kelly Maxwell."

"Are there any others on board?"

"My personal guard, that's about it."

"They are to disarm and remain on board. Only the prince and Comander Maxwell and her AIs may leave."

"Who are we speaking to?" Kelly demanded.

"Feild General Adam Chambers comander."

"All right, they'll do as you wish."

The plane lands.

From one of the tanks a man in grey armor holding a new G22 assult rifle walks over to the hatch and stands waiting

Kelly and Alexander step out, waving to the empty sky...

-----------------

On board the Redemption

"He's waving... let's go."

"Phoenix wants a word with your Comander now," Adam says as he begens turning around

Alex and Kelly looked at eachother. Kelly sighed. "What does my brother want now? Wasn't he on New Phalanix?"

"No he recently returned due to a mental condition whitch he recovered from thanks to a unknown source," Adam says as he walks over to his tank and hits a button in the cockpit and a trio of speeder bikes come out from a small hidden area at the airport.

OOC:Alot has gone on in Phalanix

OOC: Yep. Makes my terrorist attacks, insane attacking animals, and demonic powers trying to conquer the universe seem dull. :roll:

DAMN YOU! MUST YOU ALWAYS WIN?

By the way, I had an idea. A historical rp, about one of the Roania vs. Phalanix wars.

IC: "Kay. Let's go see what dear brother wants." Kelly climbed on a bike. Alex followed her.

"Did I send him the invitation?"

No.

"Oh..."

Joshua began holding his chest from the sharp pain and began to suddenly breath in very quick and small breaths. He suddenly gaspeed and totaly fell limp for a momentthen came to again with almost a look of pure evil in his eyes as if something had awoken in side of his body so evil and dark that it was almost like the black color in the smoke around them.

"Joshua?" Kenja asked concerned. She placed her slender hand upon the side of his face. She looked at his eyes and took a step back. It was as if a light radiated from her in the midst of the darkness, like the white color of the sun that hung above them.

Suddenly Joshua fell over subcoming to somthing unknown. the skin on his back seemeedd as if there was something trying to escape his flesh. His pain was shown on his face and suddenly as if the the evil was fighting something pure.
---------------------------------

Kenja looked at him in a panic. "We have to get you out of here..." Possibly he may still have the need for oxygen. Had Azari not affected him enough for him to turn fully? Or was he a half breed. She looked at him. Well, being older does have it's advantages..., the neonate thought as she put Joshua's arm over her shoulders and placed an arm behind him, helping him walk away as best he could from the source.

Joshua suddenly let out a gurgling scream as if something was coming out of his throat in a horific way causing him pain. He suddenly fell on all fours and began coughing up a pure black goo that seemed to burn through the floor where it landed. The bulging on his back began to push even more.


OOC:MAJOR plot twist coming up.

"Joshua!" she yelled to him. [i]Damnit I must do something. I'm teaching manipulations next year...I should be able to use what my sire has taught me...'a beautiful mind is a terrible thing to waste'. [i] She took a few steps toward him. Without warning, her body fell limp to the floor on her back. And her mind was focused on one: Joshua.

OOC:If anyone has ever wondered why Joshua tends to place others first even thought he was a rebel leader in the past this might answer why. Also why Phoenix is going insane.
IC:
Suddenly a massive wind started to blow around the area Joshua was and it was slowly clearing away the smoke. Suddenly the goo was whiped out a window by the wall shatering the glass and there was suddenly a small fine spry of a misty blood.

Phoenix felt something coming towards him but he never expected the viral goo to hit him head on. It began seeping into his body almost changing it for the better. Slowly his eyes began to become yellow. His body mass rippled for a moment then became normal suddenly the glass shatered in his helmet. He was something new. Something pure evil.

In a Red Dragon throne ship that had hid itself under a lake some time ago, a holographic image appears, the host of the Red Dragon herself, Emma Capsule.

Her disciple Koss had been given the assignment to test the race known as the Phalanitians, and assess their worth.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/scrim.gif
Koss

"How might I serve thee, Lord Red Dragon?" the disciple spoke multitonously in a universally evil language.

The Red Dragon's host spoke... a somewhat female voice, but the voice of a powerful Male DemiGod inside seeping through loudly. "What have you discovered... is this race of beings worthy of assimilation into our ranks?"

"Our testing has brought forth great fruit... the population of Phalanix contains many of what they call 'Demons.' As well as a strong breed of rebels... At least these two subspecies are worthy of our attention... the Humans here are also quite powerful, and possess great technology."

"Excellent. Continue with your research and experimentation."

"one more thing. There appears to be a "Mad Human Disease" going around, where some of the humans as well as others are going insane for a few days then sontaneously combusting. We don't know what caused this, but we are trying to find ways to harness its power for the future. We are experimenting with different ways to control these violent creatures."

"Impressive. You serve me well."

"Thank you, Lord Red Dragon."

With that, Koss kneels and bows his head in humility towards his master. The transmission ends, untracable, and the Disciple goes back to work, leaving a small throne room and heading towards the Command Center of his cloaked underwater fortress.

DAMN YOU! MUST YOU ALWAYS WIN?

By the way, I had an idea. A historical rp, about one of the Roania vs. Phalanix wars.

IC: "Kay. Let's go see what dear brother wants." Kelly climbed on a bike. Alex followed her.

"Did I send him the invitation?"

No.

"Oh..."

The bikes sped along. "So... Marshal, wasn't it?" Alex asked, condescendingly, "When will be arriving at Pheonix's location?"

"Joshua," a voice said in his ear, though she lay on the ground. "You must fight this. You must come back to me. Listen to my voice."

"It's Adam," Adam said slightly agrvated "And we have to go through secure areas to reach him."
-------------------------
Something pushed out of the tears in Joshua's back. Like a sickly dance a small part of a black bone wrigled it's way from his body. Joshua screamed in pain as the part of him began leaving his body.
----------------------------------------
Phoenix slowly stood up and ripped off his helmet. His hair was much more fine looking and the white of his eyes were a yellow and his normaly brown part was pure red. He let lose a demonic howl that almost any sensor could hear. It shattered glass around him. He then spoke in a demonic voice as if two were in the body "Free at last. This wretched human can not fight me now." With that he kicked a hole in the wall that sent rebbel and debre flying into the streets. He then jumped form the hole in his second floor apartment and began to run.

OOC: can you explain at least OOCly how "Demons" and "Angels" became involved? how did they come to realspace?

OOC:This may be fragmented slightly so bear with me I'm trying to remember from months ago. In NS time several years ago a portal opened and a demon hord which Eric Lancer fought off by entering the portal and in the end sealedd it yet was "infected" with a evil. Several years earlier during the first years of the Phalanix rebelion Joshua was brain washed. So almost anything can happen there. And the angel part very long story. I'll be tweaking it slightly. Also that evil goo in away trigereed Phoenix's insanity

Koss' favorite servant is an alien female named Kei'Bell, who looked very much human upon first glance, save for the red streaks in her hair and glowing ruby eyes. She approached her master with an urgent message and an update on the Phalanix studies. Her master smiled as the lady approached, dressed in a pair of baggy red energy-armor pants and a red top that looked like a thick belt that buckled at her cleavage, with plates of a heavy armor placed strategically around her body for defense on her shins, waist, wrists, and shoulders, all of which containing sharp spikes that look as though they could ..

"Master, there appears to be some new... disturbances in Phalanix. The one called Phoenix has changed into some sort of a Demon, and is showing high potential for assimilation... his dark energy readings are already almost as some of us even."

Koss nodded and spoke in his multitonous voice, "Bring him to me."

"Yes master."

With that, Kei'Bell checked her pockets for a set of what looked like throwing stars, then cast a quick spell in front of her and dissappeared, appearing again in some park in the middle of the city of Phoenix.

Phoenix felt someone behind him. His black armor stood out in the area of the grey and brown. "So they finaly sent someone," he says in his other woldly voice.

Without the need of artificial sensors, Kei'Bell picked up on Phoenix immediately. She was only about 50 meters away from him, and quickly cast a phase cloak on herself. (Phasing is a natural superpower to some people in her race, as well as flight. Both can be performed after extensive training) She drifted slilently through the air, closing in on Phoenix, while drawing a pair of throwing stars from a pouch. When in range, she dropped cloak just about 10 meters behind him and threw the stars violently at the 'Demon.'


http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

"It's Adam," Adam said, slightly aggravated "And we have to go through secure areas to reach him."

"Thank you... Adam." Alexander said, whistling to himself.

Kelly looked around. It felt... strange. Something was wrong. "Alex... we should go back to the plane. We shouldn't have come."

"Nonsense. You convinced me to come, I'm here. I'm not going to bend to your every whim, Kelly." Alexander paused. "Well, maybe I will. But not this time. Besides, I want to meet this Joshua, and maybe your sister, if she is around."

Phoenis just grunted as the throwing star lodged themselves in his armor. "You should know the back and front of the armor are the thickest," he says as suddenly he turns around and bolts towards Kei'Bell with his fis drawn back.
---------------------------------
"General Maxwell is curently at the MICC evacuating now," Adam says as the trio passes a check point.

Kei'Bell just stands there, landed on the ground for the moment. "I just wanted to get your attention," she says just before the 'demon' connects.. or tries to. She phases briefly and the chargind man passes right through her. When he barely passes, she phases back into normalspace and smacks him in the back hard. "I need you to come with me."


http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

"And if I don't?" Phoenix asks as he jumps up and preforms a axe kick from the air then a round house.

"If you don't," Kei says as she blocks the axe kick with her arm and jumps over the roundhouse, "Then I will have to take you by force," she says after doing a backflip away and rematerializing a jar of something in her hand... looked like a few red-glowing bugs.


http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

"Then tell me what you want," Phoenix says as he still stands ready to fight
OOC:back later

Phoenix slowly stood up and ripped off his helmet. His hair was much more fine looking and the white of his eyes were a yellow and his normaly brown part was pure red. ooc: *points* I seem to remember him discarding said helmet ;)

OOC:Thanks forgot that.

ooc: so consider the bugs a serious threat ;) I gotta go for a lil bit.

"Then tell me what you want," Phoenix says as he still stands ready to fightKei'Bell just stands there, with her armored/spiked arms folded, "Dark Elder Koss, a disciple of the Red Dragon, wishes to speak with you. We have been watching you, and after this latest development, have decided to bring you into our folds... I assure you, if you join us, you will have far greater power than you could ever imagine. What better place for a 'demon' than working under a demigod? Surely you can imagine... the benefits would be... most excellent." She smiles darkly, "You could even get your own World to rule over if the Red Dragon approves."

OOC: gtg for real now ;)


http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

"I'm not a demon. I'm more of a demi-god," he says as he smirks slightly

Kei'Bell cackled incredulously, "You are not a demon, let alone a god or anything amnong the sort... you are a creature who has possessed another creature. Now please, come with us, and maybe we both can find out who you really are."

Phoenis just grunted as the throwing star lodged themselves in his armor. "You should know the back and front of the armor are the thickest," he says as suddenly he turns around and bolts towards Kei'Bell with his fis drawn back.
---------------------------------
"General Maxwell is curently at the MICC evacuating now," Adam says as the trio passes a check point.

They drive on in silence, and eventually reach the MICC, just before Alex begins to ponder drawing his weapons and shooting at random passersby.

OOC:The area around the MICC is at a level 5 bio hazard area
IC: "I prefer to work alone," Phoenix says as he begens to turn around.

OOC: Both Kelly and Alex are in armor, so...

IC: Alex sighs. "All right, Phoenix. We're here to visit... sweet god all-mighty!"

"Oh ya forgot to tell you that most of the place was nearly destroyed," Adam says as he shows his cleance. "Oh and Phoenix is all the way across the city Joshua is here."

What the f**k. She looked at Joshua, the wings emerging from his back. It brought back memories of Eclipse having the same thing. "Joshua What's going on what is this stuff?" She said looking at the black smoke.

"I don't know," Joshua strains out as he starts trying to move the strange wings.

OOC:They looks like demon wings with holes in them

OOC:The area around the MICC is at a level 5 bio hazard area
IC: "I prefer to work alone," Phoenix says as he begens to turn around."Your preferences will soon be found to be irrelevant. You are an evil man, and if you do not wish to bne destroyed by the overwhelmingly greater evil that is coming soon, then you will join us."

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

"Oh ya forgot to tell you that most of the place was nearly destroyed," Adam says as he shows his cleance. "Oh and Phoenix is all the way across the city Joshua is here."

Alexander begins to clench his fist. He says, in a low, strained voice, "Well... isn't that something." He looks around at the rubble. "Lousy no-good stinking rebels and Phalanixians sticking around in nuclear wasteland...."

Kelly rolls her eyes. Dekker, in your opinion, are human men obnoxious? "All right, we'll see Joshua."

QUIT BITCHING PRINCY!!! Dekker shouts over the armor speakers and through the com systems as well. "You try living here. Try abandoning your home," Adam says with a tinge of anger in his voice Note to self: Lose that prick in the MICC

"Thank you, but I've been forced to twice. What I want to know from the general is how much money it would take to put this place back on its feet?" Alex shot a glare at Kelly.

Bad Dekker. Bad.

Sighing, he entered the building. Kelly rolled her eyes and entered after him. "Josh? It's me, Kelly. You here?"

Bite me

"It's no use we have been trying for a hour now," Adam says

----------------------------
"Well then looks like I don't have many opptions," Phoenix says with a smirk

Bite me

"It's no use we have been trying for a hour now," Adam says

Cortana, how do you live with him?

"Let me try." Alex activated the suit's amplifier system. "JOSH! GET OUT HERE! FRONT AND CENTER! ON THE DOUBLE!... I BRING NEW WEAPONS FOR YOUR MEN!"

Kelly sighed. "Josh, we just want to talk to you, see how you're doing, find out if you need anything."

"F##ck this," Adam says as he hops his his speeder and dashes into the main entrance which has a massive piller of smoke shooting out of it. Adam's armor blends in as he enters the buidling

I don't live with him. I'm only here because Phoenix forgot me.

You're much smarter than he is.

Alex looks after Adam. "What's his problem? How... uncivilised."

Kelly whacks the back of his head.

Hey holy boy havn't you heard of loyalty and concer for others

Kelly stifles a laugh. "We better go look into that fire, Alex." She walked after Adam.

Alex looks up at the sky. Why me?

Because you're a prat.

Alex slams a fist into the AI chip, and then follows Kelly.

Adam surounded by thick black smoke suddenly realizes something is amiss. There were no heat difrences in the area and that Joshua should be fine here. "SH*T!" he shouts as suddenly he realizes a grenade falls right infront of him and a man comes out of the smoke holding the pin smiling evily. Suddenly the 'nade went off sending him and Adam flying

Alex swears and draws his gun, then unleashes a half-dozen rounds into the attacker. "Adam, get down! Kelly, covering fire!"

Kelly opens fire on the door way, shooting randomly into the building.

"Hold your fire damn it. You hit me!" Adam shouts as he cluctches his shoulder and walks towards them

"Sorry, Adam. Aiming for the rebel." Alexander fired another 5 rounds into the rebel's body, just to be sure. He drew a small first aid spray from his pack.

"No need for first aid. My armor took the shots. Just the blast hurt the most," Adam says "We have to get out now."

"What about Joshua? As much as I hate the guy, we can't leave him in there!"

"He is a vampire you idiot," Adam says "Plus he is with his girlfriend who is also a vamp. And he has been in worse."

"IDIOT" Alexander snapped. He began to walk forward, towards Adam, when Kelly tripped him.

"I really would like to see him. If he's not out in 5 minutes, I'm going in there."

========
10 minutes later
========

"I really don't like this, Kelly." Alex said, his viewscreen covered in smoke.

"Quiet. Joshua? You in here?" They had entered the building, and were now lost.

Slowly a group of infected began to walk behind the pair. The carried a pair of grenades each and were ready to strike.

Alex suddenly began to feel an evil force. "Kelly! Behind you! Fire randomly!" He pressed a button to his helmet and switched to X-ray mode. "Surrender or die, Phalanixians!"

Suddenly 6 normal frag grenades flew at them with no pins fallowed by a pair of "sticky" plasma grenades. Then a gurgling voice screamed out "NEVER!"

Alex quickly switched to ice blasts and froze them. He and Kelly moved to hide behind something. Alexander gritted his teeth. "Well, I tried." He pulled out a thermal detonator and threw it towards the rebels. Then he grabbed Kelly and ducked behind a pillar.

The explosion rattled the building, and disintegrated most of the room.

Suddenly behind them there was a horifying howl of evil. A massive being began walking towards them it seemed to have eyes from the hot coals of a dying fire while its skin was dark as the ashes left in the pit. It roared again and sprinted towards Kelly.

OOC:Mind if I take control of her during this attack?

OOC: Go ahead... however, killing her messes up something major I'm planning.

IC: Alexander snarls and switches to his sword. "Prepare to die, fiend." He lunges at it, pushing Kelly aside and stabbing his sword in. George, info?

Um... it appears to be a demon of some kind. I suggest holy energy attacks.

Right. Alexander squared up. "Holy blast!"

OOC:Thanks. And I could never kill a major player in the Maxwell family... yet
Oh and that thing is no demon just saying. It is a creation from the lab in the sub floors.
IC:
The thing grunted as the blast hit him and shook it off. He looked over at Kelly and lunged for her with its fists extended. Befor she could react she was sent flying through a wall and into a support collum where she slid to the ground in utter pain. The creature/man just laughed a hollow evil laugh then began dashing towards her.

Alexander sighed, and pulled out his gun. He unleashed round after round into the creature, exploding shells rattling. Then he drew his blade and charged after it...

The creater howled in angush as the rounds hit is and pure watery red blood began to pour from the wounds creating a massive puddel. It only fell short of landing on Kelly by only 30cm but did creat enugh rubble to fall on her hurting her (not much) more.

Alex ran over. "Kelly? You all right?"

Kelly lay there not responding. Her vitals were at a warning level. The creature snarled and turned to Alexander and began rushing towards him at full speed bellowing a horid cry of pain and death.

Alex turned. A power began to radiate from him, his eyes glinting beneath his helmet. "You... dare? You have the gall to attack my fiance?" He drew his sword. "In the name of the all mighty Lord which I serve, the Principality which I rule, and the people I protect..." He slashes for the creature's neck, "you will die."

He leaps up into the air, stabbing repeatedly into the 'demon'. Blood begins to rush everywhere. "DIE!"

The creature's look changed to a "oh sh*t!" look as Alexander charged at it. With each strike it howled with more and more pain when suddenly it exploded into a spray of bones and gore. From the dust behind it a figure stood hidden but chould be seen slightly while a major hole in the dust was there.

Alexander finally tired of slashing at the dust. He turned to Kelly. "Kelly... are you all right? Because if you aren't, I will personally kill every single life form surviving in this radioactive hell-hole." He rolled his fist, and slammed it into a wall. It cracked, and began to shatter.

Kelly chuckled weakly. "Do that... and I'll never forgive you, holy boy..." her eyes opened wide. "Behind you!"

Alexander turned, and looked at the shadowy figure.

The figure just stood there with it's rifle in hand. Then as suddenly as it was there it began walking away with it's rifle on its shoulder. Suddenly the creatures head fell right on top of Alexander and began to drip vital fluids on him as well as brain matter.

OOC:Couldn't resist. Sorry.

"GAH!" Alexander started to swear, loudly. He stood up. "That's it! No more! Come on, Kelly. If Joshua is around, he can meet us outside. Maybe he can convince me not to wipe Phalanix from the map... damn monsters and bizarre viruses and mind controlled thugs and vampires..."

Kelly rolled her eyes, and obediently followed.

The figure just sighed as it watched infront of them cloaked with only a very sight reading on anything. He never has learned. But atleast she has, the figure thinks.

OOC:just guess who

OOC: I swear I killed him... if that's who I think it is...

IC: As Alexander marched out, blood and guts staining his armor, Kelly stopped, and turned. "All right. Show yourself."

"Why do I need to show my self to some one lower ranked than me?" the figure said

OOC:It isn't a guy

"Because I'm the only person here who can prevail upon Mr. Grumpy over there not to turn what's left of Phalanix into a small crater."

"I'm sure the Reach Defense Force has something to say about that Kelly."

"And I'm sure the fact that several thousand Roanian soldiers would have something to say about that." She sighed. Time to see if I'm right.... "Rain?"

OOC: It's either her, or Kate. And Kate is back on New Phalanix. Erica would be just the wrong person in these circumstances.

OOC:Though there has been a lot of change going on. And the recent gain of several NP Fighter Speeders ended up getting Kate back in the game.
Ic:
"Hell no," the figure says as leans against a wall

Kelly grimaced. "Oh... it's you, Kate." She called out to Alex. "Alex, it's Kate." A muffled oath met those words, and the sound of an already damaged wall being destroyed.

"Is that prat, Paladin, here?"

"Um... doesn't look like it." Kelly removed her helmet, and was immediately hit by the smell of burning death. "So... how have you been, Kate?"

"Put your damn helmet back on. This is a biohazard zone. Hare you forgoten that viruses are airborn?" Kate snaps out as she adjusts her filter mask

Kelly put it back on. Alex walked in. "Great... just great. George?"

Yeah, boss?

"Get me a thermoscan... see if she's possessed."

Nope.

"So, I can't kill her."

Yeah.

Kelly put it back on. Alex walked in. "Great... just great. George?"

Yeah, boss?

"Get me a thermoscan... see if she's possessed."

Nope.

"So, I can't kill her."

Yeah.

"I heard that you little f**k. If you want to know what is new it is that i have been fighting this war on the ground and am not in the mood for your damn demon sh*t today. Got that prick?" Kate says with a very agitated voice

DEATed

DEAted

"I understand, Kate... however, one of your monsters just nearly killed my fiance, and I am a tad stressed. I'll be glad to help you out..." he pressed a few buttons on his armor's left arm.

----------------

A mile away, the Inquisitors suddenly burst out of the jet. "If you do not stand out of our way, Phalanixian, then we kill you." They knocked the man aside and took one of the warthogs. "We are coming, my prince..."

---------------

"Good." Alexander sat back. "Kate, Kelly, wait a few seconds... we'll be ready to go demon hunting just as soon as my guard shows up."

Suddenly overhead of the Warthog a squadren of SPeeder Fighters swooped down and over the com system shouted out "This is the comander of speeder squadren 159. You are to stop the warthog and explain your selves or be fired apon. This is your first and only warning."

One of the Inquisitors patched a wire through to the warthogs speakers. Alexander's voice rang out, cynical and amused. "So, this is how you Phalanixians treat allies, is it? I have called my guards to me to aid me in saving your worthless general's life. Firing upon them will be an act of war, a problem I'm sure that you don't need."

"Well then theft is still punishable here and some one is gona pay for that 5 Star Generals wrath and it is not gona be me. Kate get them the f**k out of there," the squadren leader says over the com which suddenly leaps to Kate.
"Hey who the hell are you? How did you know I was here?" she asks slightly shocked at this.
"I just do now get them out now. Thats a order from the comand."
"Yes sir," Kae says sharply and unslings her rifle "Now we leave."

Alex sighed. "Really, captain. I'll take the blame. Kate, as a ruler, I order you to stand down."

OOC: And I thought Roanians were inflexible.

OOC:Not with the curent state of the government. It is turning into a power strugle between a vampire soldier who just recently felt remorse and a insane killer. Basicly Joshua and Phoenix.
IC:
"All NP royalty but me was killed in a mass rebel strike. The rebels all hung and I left the damn family," Kate says "Now lets move."

"Ah..." Alex raised an eyebrow. "Not... quite..." He smirked. My life just became much more amusing. "Kelly, here, is a Princess, no? Of Phalanix?"

"Shut up, Holy Boy." Kelly slapped the back of his helmet.

"And... in exactly two months, that means I will be too."

"Sorry pal but Phalanix royalty dosn't exist and the royal family crap back home is dead. So kiss my 4 star ass," Kate says as she loads in a tranq round and smirks. "Oh and if it did her brothers would be first in line."

Kelly smiled. Yeah! Alex looked taken aback, and then, from hidden compartments, drew out two pistols. "All right, let me put it like this... I can fire faster than you can. These contain high explosive rounds, so I can kill easier than you can. As such, I order you to help me find Joshua, so we can get him out of here, and back to Roania so as to have at least one of you people in good hands."

Kelly blinked. "What? That's my brother! You are talking about kidnapping my br..."

"No, I'm planning to rescue him... and you are going to help me, Kate."

There was a squeal as a warthog pulled up outside, and 10 heavily armored Inquisitors walked into the room. "Or will I have to take steps?"

The warthog turned around, and began to return to its original position under AI. Kelly spat. "So, you're trying to take control of Phalanix, are you? Just like Rasputin was." Alexander turned, and gave her a ringing slap.

"No, you... I'm trying to save it. From my reports, Phoenix is a raving lunatic. I'm going to save your other brother, and, if I can, your sister, from him. Then I'm going to meet him myself, and see if I can put an end to his lunacy."

"And if you can't?" Kelly asked, rubbing her cheek.

"If I can't, I'll kill him." Alexander turned, and went deeper into the flaming inferno. The Inquisitors surrounded Kate.

"We're sorry... there will now be a communications blackout." One of them slammed an armored fist into Kate's transmitter.

OOC: Now, the question is, where is Joshua?

OOC:Right above you. :twisted:
IC: "Gues we all go," Kate says as she aims her rifle at a suport collume and fires off a high explosive round into the coloum blowing it to bits sending up a sudden burst of dust blinds everything and everyone while suddenly the floor above began to come crashing down around them.

Joshua felt the stairway come crashing down around him suddenly he felt the feeling of free fall like hundrerds of times befor.
OOC:She hasn't had a good day

Alexander looked up, and suddenly had Joshua land on him. "Why do Maxwells continue to land on... Joshua? WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE THINGS GROWING OUT OF YOUR BACK?"

"Oh just a pain in the ass like you," Joshua says slightly annoyed as he firmly plants his ass on Alexander just for the fun of it.

"Gerroff..." Alex shoved him aside and stood up. "Good job, Kate. Mr. President, I'm afraid you have to come with us."

"I'm not a president you dumb f**K. I'm just a general," Joshua says as he dusts him self off and whipes away some blood from his back.

"Want to bet?" The Inquisitors surrounded Joshua and started to drag him towards the plane.

Joshua suddenly stands up and flings the Inquisitors grabing him off with unfroseen strength. Suddenly a group of massive howls began to sound from the area and blood red eyes seemed to open from the shadows like fires in the distance slowly aproching. Suddenly in a pile of rubble a explosion of air burst forth sending rubble flying around the area letting more rain down.
--------------
OOC:The area around the MICC is at a level 5 bio hazard area
IC: "I prefer to work alone," Phoenix says as he begens to turn around."Your preferences will soon be found to be irrelevant. You are an evil man, and if you do not wish to bne destroyed by the overwhelmingly greater evil that is coming soon, then you will join us."

OOC: sorry for the slow post. :oops:

Phoenix just smirked and thought for a few seconds then said "Beats this hell hole anyday."

Kei'Belle nodded, and glided over to him. barely touching his arm when in range, she teleports them both back to Koss' ship.

"Let's go see Master Koss, He's waiting for you."

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/scrim.gif

Koss, sitting on his throne, smiles as the Demon is brought before him. Despite his intimidating appearance, the Dark Elder is surrounded by a handful of scantilly clad women.

"Ah hah," he assesed, speaking in his multitonous voice, now speaking english, "so this is the one you call Phoenix? He doesn't look like much."

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

"Try saying that whith a sword shoved through your face," Phoenix snarls back as he reaches for a pair of recently modified plasma swords within his armor "So whay the hell do you want me here?"

"My servant, Kei'belle, says you have a lot of potential... you seem a little unruly, but how would you like to stand amongst the greatest in the Universe? Using your power, with some training, you could be so much better that what you are. Imagine it, instead of terrorizing a city, you could be terrorizing a Solar System, or even helping us control the Galaxy. Interested?"


http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

"I havn't even started," Phoenix says with a smirk as his eyes began to pirce into the shadows in the area looking for anything of intrest

"I havn't even started," Phoenix says with a smirk as his eyes began to pirce into the shadows in the area looking for anything of intrest*posting as Optera IV*

"Well then, if you feel you need a little while to get used to your powers, go ahead, but we will be watching you, and you will see us again."

With that, Phoenix is teleported back to the city, right where he last was.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/reddragon.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96465)

Phoenix smirked and walked towards the exit of the park. As he walked he began to rip off his armor's parts that his wouldn't need anymore. "Time to finish what was started 20 years ago."

Joshua suddenly stands up and flings the Inquisitors grabing him off with unfroseen strength. Suddenly a group of massive howls began to sound from the area and blood red eyes seemed to open from the shadows like fires in the distance slowly aproching. Suddenly in a pile of rubble a explosion of air burst forth sending rubble flying around the area letting more rain down.

Alexander drew his pistols and pointed them at Joshua. "Joshua, I advise you to come with us. Kelly?" Kelly sighed, and pointed her weapons at Joshua as well.

"I'm sorry, Josh... but this is for your own good, and Phalanix's good." The Inquisitors pulled themselves up, five of them keeping Joshua under guard, two watching Kate, and the remaining three preparing to open fire on the creature in the distance.

Kenja looked around in the black smoke. "Holy F***!" she exclaimed. "I must have passed out...Joshua?" she looked around. "Joshua?" she sighed heavily, her fangs digging into her lip. She knew something was wrong. She traveled down the staircase... What the hell is going on

ooc: really lost here...sorry.

OOC: Joshua is in the process of being taken back to Roania, in order to protect him from Phoenix's madness.

Well, and Alex wants the pleasure of smacking him around.

ooc: I'm sure Kenja would LOVE to smack Alex around. :D

"Blow me holy boy," Joshua says evily as suddenly he leaps into the air and at the same time pull a knife from his pocket and fling it at Alexander's gun arm.

OOC:I was not going to have to do this but had it planed out anyways

Phoenix felt his better half (Joshua) was in combat and smirked even though he wasn't going to help him he couldn't pass up a needless slaughter.

The blade stabbed right into Alex's armor, opening the skin and making him bleed. Around Josh, the sound of automatic weapons being cocked could be heard. "General Maxwell, surrender and drop your weapons."

Alexander held his arm, in pain. Kelly rushed over to him. "Josh, how could you? He was trying to help!"

"How by comiting an act of war?" Joshua says as he lands grafuly and quite agrivated "When I drop my weapons will be when you all have oyur heads on steel pikes." Joshua moves over to Kenja and helps her up and says to her "We might want to leave now."

Kenja grips the guns in her hands; Qui's ebony and ivory... she smiles slightly at the thought of pissing off her sire. "Sounds good to me..." she says softly.

Kelly stood up, and faced Joshua. "It wasn't an act of war. Joshua, you have to come with us. You are Phalanix's best hope, and if you stay here, either Phoenix will kill you, or Alexander will have to attack." She turned to the Inquisitors. "Point them down." They complied. "Joshua... please... for me."

"No. Phoenix is my brother. I will deal with him my way. I'm sorry sis but you and Rain are Phalanix's last hopes once I'm gone," Joshua says "I belive it was something that was inside of me that made Phoenix what he is now. Let me corect my own mistake."

Kenja did not drop her guns, and was reassured by Joshua's words. She was more than capable of handeling herself, but it was not her she was worried about; Phoenix.

Kelly sighed. She looked at Joshua, and Kenja. Than she nodded. "Very well. Alexander, we're going." Alexander looked up. She glared at him, and he nodded.

"Kate, you're still coming with us. I want you to help me out on something..."

OOC: Where *is* Rain?

Kate now in utter pain and slightly dazed due to the mass amount of rubble.
"Just drag her with you," Joshua says as he starts walking towards the exit.

OOC:Neo-Earth I think. Getting wasted with the leader there.

Alex and Kelly sighed, and walked outside, with the Inquisitors carrying Kate. "Okay, Kelly. Where is Rain? I don't think I've ever met her."

"I haven't seen her in ages, either."

"Of course, knowing Phalanix, she's going to appear out of that door, in 5 seconds..." Alex glanced at his watch.

---------Somewhere in Neo-Earth---------
Rain taking her 25th shot of pure vodka beforing puking all over the DJ and passing out.
---------Back in Phalanix-----------
Phoenix watched from the shadows his sister. He smiled and thought for a moment if he should kill her now or later. By that time Joshua had surfaced from the buidling that was becoming a prision.

"There. See? You're too paranoid." Kelly snorted. "Kate? You there yet?" Alex sighed.

"Whatever. Let's get out of here."

Suddenly a group (about 6) of "hot" plasma grenades flew out of no where landing around Joshua and Kelly (3 each) Joshua suddenly sprung into action and bolted forward and shoved Kelly and Alexander forwards away from the blasts. As the grenades went off Joshua screamed in pain as he was flung into the air with several minor burns.

Alexander sighed, and snapped his fingers. The Inquisitors opened random fire in the direction the grenades had come from, high explosive shells destroying windows, doors, etc. "Kelly, I might be a second."

His eyes glinted dangerously. "Show yourself, scum."

By the time the grenades had gone off Phoenix was already behind the group laughing evily. "Behind you idiot," he says in mid laugh as he holds a pair of plasma grenades in his left hand.

"I see. Boys, shoot him." The Inquisitors opened fire as Alexander drew his blade. "Surrender, Phoenix. Your reign of madness is over. Do as I say, and I might decide not to add your country to my holdings."

Kelly looked shocked. "Phoenix, what happened!"

"Well tell that to the horde of murderus monsters exiting the building behind you," Phoenix says as a massive group of the same monster that attacked Kelly and Alexander exited the building and began running towards them. Phoenix then threw the two grenades in there "hot" state at Joshua's body befor he bolted.

"Didn't I kill it?" Alex asked.

"Who cares? RUN!" Kelly took off down the street. Alex waited a second, and then reached into his boots and pulled out a little metal sphere. "Eat thermal detonator." He tossed it to the beasts.

-------------

1 very harrowing hour later...

-----------

The plane took off, minus 1 Inquisitor, plus one sleeping Phalanixian. Alex sighed, and watched as Phalanix receded beneath them. "I should have forced him to come..."

"There was nothing you could do. Joshua made his choice, and he's going to stick with it. If he needs help, he'll know how to reach us." Kelly brushed back a tear. Alex noticed.

"Kelly? Are you crying?"

"Yes, Holy Boy. Being near you has made me weak." She said, grinning. "Now, are you going to come over here and comfort me, or am I going to hit you?"

Alex smiled, and walked over.

OOC: Sorry, but I want to get the wedding done before I go on vacation.

OOC:Don't worry. We can get it done after this rp is over. It might be done his week...hopfully.

IC:
Phoenix smiled evily as he walked towards his few places that could calm him. Besides it had his favorite gun there and his old clothing. He smiled as he sat down and looked at his home. His city embroild in chaos.

http://www.phenixsol.com/Miko/FF7/ff7Vincentgun.jpg

OOC: He seems lonely... I wonder, do I want to have some Dread comfort him?

OOC:That is just the human inside of him surfacing again thinking slightly.

Bump for people to catch up.
