((Second thread, since the first one has pretty much died.
Recap: Earnest, Shaku, Sara, and the Count attacked Area 51 and freed the aliens. Earnest now has an evil clone (Whose hair turns wild and brown and he changes his name to Uziel, becomes a Muslim, and founds UziCorp) that has the ability to wound him. Sara and Earnest has disappeared, as has most of the A51 crew. Shaku and JWolf now must find Earnest and Sara in order for their plan to knock over Fort Knox to work. New characters are welcome to join in. Must be around during 1948.))
Shaku and Jwolf had been searching for days for Earest and Sara, threatening and killing soldiers they met and investigating rumors they heard, but they had little success. The only true lead was the fact that Homer and Yolan had been spotted in a bar a few towns over.
"Now remember," Shaku reminded the Count, "Try to avoid a barfight at all costs. I was nearly caught after the last one."

OOC: What is acceptable, if it is open.

OOC: Name: Edward Mandad
Age: 32
Nationality: American. At least, that's what he says most often,
Appearance: An old unifrom that you'd think was worn in World War 1. A handlebar moustache. A tall man with a lean face and lightly tanned skin
Why in the States: To hide from the enemey. It could be any one of his delusions. He won't say which.
Other notes: It is very doubtful he's sane. If he is, everyone else isn't. Believes in the existence of several things, the most often reffered to is the "communist military-free market complex." The contradictions he says, are a lie.

is that acceptable?

((Yes.))

JWolf looked over at and an evil smile appeared across his lips. “That last dipshit started it.” he said. “But it will be months before he get out of the hospital.”

He walked in first and looked around. He saw two people in the back; Homer and Yolan. My good buddies. He said to himself as he walked over to them. They will help me find Earnest and Sara.

“Hey guys.” he said as he sat down in front of them with his head looking at the floor.. “Looking for a couple of buddies of mine. Know where they are?” He looked up at them; his eyes were blood red like he was about to feed. “So…”

Yolan looked up and recongized Jwolf in a second. He tugged on Homer's shirt and Yolan pointed. Homer looked up and jumped.
"Oh, shit! He's found us! Uziel! UZIEL WHERE ARE YOU YOU WORTHLESS SCIENCE EXPERIMENT?"

“Oh…I see.” said JWolf. “The clone is your doing.” Then the sound of a gun being clicked off of safety could be somewhat hear under the table. “Where are Earnest and Sara?” he demand. “Or I will play target practice with your family jewels.”

"Shit, I don't know! Some guy who's got connections to teh Mafia of some sort, I really don't know! I just ordered the retreat after the General was killed! Those men caught Sara and Earnest and tossed them in a truck and drove off. I really don't know who his boss is, honestly!"

The Count did not like that answer, so he got like he was going to left. He walked right by Yolan with his pistol in his left hand. Then in one movement, his right hand went around Yolan’s throat and he sent him flying across the bar. “Sorry, you were in my way.” he said,

He had Homer cornered in his seat. He changes the pistol to his right hand and pushed the barrel on Homer’s head. “So…got a name of this mafia?” he asked with hammer down and his trigger finger on the trigger.

OOC: I’m not going to fire. I’m just using fear to get the answers.

"I don't you, I don't fucking know!" Homer replied through his teeth. JWolf felt a hand on his shoulder.
"If we knew we'd tell you. Now if he says he doesn't know, he doesn't know."
Yolan coughed and stood up and looked at Shaku and gave him a friendly nod. Shaku just growled back. Shaku and Yolan watched as Uziel, now with brown, frizzy, wild hair, pulled out his blade and held it to JWolf's back.
"Now back off before I skin yours off."

OOC: Just tell me when the situation is alright to enter.

“You back off, freak.” said the Count. Uziel’s sword was sent flying for his hands. It hit the wall on the other side of the bar. JWolf’s mutant powers were doing this under control by him. He turned to face Uziel.

“I’m out of here.” he said. He walked by Uziel and smiled, something black fell for his duster and land near Uziel feet. It was a grenade. It was being held there by some unknown force. That he when JWolf took off run and pulled Shaku at of the bar. But somebody else was pulled out, too. JWolf had Yolan by the neck. As they hit the ground outside, the grenade went off.

He looked at Yolan and said "You're coming with us." He open back door to a blue Ford and pushed Yolan. He handcuffs him and shut the door. Then hopped into the driver's seat and fired the car up.

OOC: Okay, GS, your move. Homer could get out of the way before it goes boom.

Uziel jumped on the grenade and it exploded underneath him. His clothes were torn to bits and he was bleeding, but the wounds were healing already.
------
Yolan didn't resist. He just sat, breathing heavily. He looked out teh window and Uziel and Homer running out of the bar. Homer had a rifle in his hands and was firing at the tires. There was a loud *pop* as one of them was hit and teh car spun out of control. A Sherman tank blocked the four-way out of the city that JWolf was headed to.
"It wasn't a good idea, Count," Yolan told him, "Homer's got a lot of connections. He knows who you are and he knows what Earnest is planning. We want to find Earnest and Sara, too. Homer's got a deal for him."

The Count spun the car back around, making it face Sherman tank. It was hard to control but JWolf was handling it.

“Don’t care Homer or that wild haired freak.” He said. Then by an unknown force the tank was threw away and the three tired car continued forwards.

Suddenly, Uziel landed on the hood of the car and smashed in the windshield, grabbed Jwolf by the face, and tossed him away. He slid into the car, kicked Shaku out, and turned it around.

As JWolf rolled over the ground, he stopped on his knees. “Nope, that is my car.” he yelled. His right hand pointed at the car. The back tires were lifted off the ground first. Followed by the front tires.

The car was hovering off the ground about six feet or higher. Then shot backwards, straight at JWolf. Then dropped back to a foot off the ground.

JWolf opened the driver’s door and threw Uziel out. Right into back of horse trailer.

Then hopped back in and the car spun back around in mid-air. Then dropped back to the ground, he pulled back up to Shaku and said “Get in.”

JWolf soon found Uziel's Adamantium blade sticking through his chest.
"Just give me the fucking Private. He's no use to you and if we keep figting like this, you won't have a car."
"I suggest you do as he says," Shaku told him, "Yolan is of no use to us."

“Do think that hurts, dumbass?” said JWolf as he pulled Uziel's Adamantium blade out of his chest. “Yolan is of no use to us. But Homer is.” he said with a smile.

Three black vans pulled up beside Homer. Men armed with shotgun hopped out. “FBI!” one of them yelled. “Drop your weapon.”

"Army. Fuck you," Homer told them. Three men armed with bazookas destroyed the black vans and Homer shot each of the men in the chest and slipped away.

"No, it's not supposed to hurt. But this is," Uziel said. The blade spiked at the end and Uziel grabbed Yolan and jumped away, the blade still in JWolf's chest.
"That's a nice shirt, too," Shaku commented at the protruding blade.

Before Homer could take down the menn, one of them shot in the left leg at close range. The other two fired at the soldiers. Then got gunned down because they were outnumbered.

JWolf pulled blade out, blood ran down his chest. “Now, I can sell this later. Or use it on him later.” said the Count. The blood stopped flowing and the cut started healing. “Are you hurt?”

“Now, we know that Uziel is a freak. Yolan is a good guy on the wrong side.” he started. “And Homer is an asshole and idiot.”

“But we don’t know where Earnest and Sara are at.” he added at the last.

The Bazookamen ducked into a building and more soldiers approached the scene. Homer fired a headshot at the man and limped away.
---
"I beleive I can help you there," a man with greasy black hair said, approaching the car. He handed JWolf a small rectangular paper.
"My card. I can get you to Earnest and Sara. My boss knows where they are. But you've go to do something for my boss."

“Well, hop in and we will talk.” said JWolf.

Teh man opened teh abck door, which fell off from all the damage it took, and stepped in. He held onto an Ohshit handle.
"My boss knows exactly where your friends Earnest and Sara are. He'll tell you, but choo gotsta do sumfink fer him."

“Are you drunk because you messing up on your words.” asked the Count. “what does he want us to do for him?”

"I'm only here to tell you the deal. He didn't tell me nufink, just to find joo two and tell you the deal. Kansas City, two days from now, behind the Johnson warehouse is where you'll get more details."

“Okay, Mister.” said JWolf. He looked over at Shaku as he pulled into a truck stop. “Want to head to Kansas City?”

"I suppose we don't have a choice," Shaku said.
"As for your car, it's very unfortuneate. We can get you a new one in this city here and have yours fixed up and transported to the palce of your choice."

“Okay, to Kansas City then.” said JWolf to Shaku.

He looked back at the man and said “This is not my car. It was stolen.” He looked around at the trucks in the lot. One of them had a Grey Timber Wolf like symbol on it. The words ‘Timber Wolf Inc.’ were under the symbol. TWI is one of JWolf’s company. The truck was a Dodge WC 52 (http://www.armyvehicles.dk/dodgewc52.htm)

“That is our ride, Shaku.” said JWolf. He walked over to it and hopped in. He fired the engine up and waited.

Shaku smiled and jumped in and smiled.
"This is nice. The only people I know of in my time to have one of these is Earnest-"
He turned to JWolf and said,
"And you..."

JWolf pulled onto the highway and headed towards Kansas. “Oh yeah, you are time traveling alien.” said the Count. “You are ready know I’m rich. I buy anything that is new or look awesome to me.”

OOC: Might want to look over that post again.
IC:
"Of course, Earnest's plan helps with your vast amounts of gold, too, as far as I can remember."

OOC: You said ‘The only people I know of in my time to have one of these.’ Meaning in his time not in the 1940s.

IC: If you only knew. said JWolf to himself. “The Fort Knox hit will add more gold to my fortune. I have stuff that dates back to 4,000BC and other things ancient times.” he said to Shaku.

OOC; I got that, it was the rest of the post.
"And the Earnest I know has some of those very same items," he said snikering.

OOC: I still don’t get what you are talking about. What is your year in present date times?

IC: “Maybe I sell them to him or something.” said JWolf. “I got a lot of ancient statues or other things.”

OOC: Shaku came to 1948 in the year 3079.
Examples:
you are time traveling alien
He is a what time-traveling alien?
look awesome
Forgot the 's'
Just being a grammar nazi, sorry^^
IC:
"Ahehe. He never mentioned purchasing anything, JWolf, just so you know."

OOC: In 3000 AD, the Dominion is set far away from Earth. Everything JWolf has owned was took with him. This Dominion will become a FT version of my nation. JWolf does not need to know this.

I’m dyslexic, so don’t mess with me.

IC: “Well, he can't steal them for me.” said JWolf.

OOC: I didn't know, I'm sorry. Still, that last post I don't quite get. Do you mean steal the artifacts that Earnest steals from JWolf or steal the artifacts that he will steal from JWolf?

As for the Dominion, Homer has contacts ;)

OOC: I wrote the wrong word. Its he not we.

The FT Dominion with have Stargate tech, Star Wars tech, and Zoids tech.

Contacts? The FT Dominion is like the WWII Germany. The people are loyal to JWolf only.

OOC: Don't worry about it, we can RP the thefts later.
"That's why he found it more fun stealing from you," Shaku snikered.

OOC: Earnest can’t steal anything for JWolf. All of his stuff in a huge cave under Castle Von Wolf, in the middle over JWolf’s lands. The area of his land is 6,400 (It is a 80 miles square near Sibiu, Romania. Castle Von Wolf is in the center of this square) and it is guarded by JWolf‘s private army. Earnest would have be ghost to get in there without somebody knowing it.

IC: “You don’t get it, he would not make to where the stuffs without be stopped and arrested.” said JWolf. “But if he makes to the place, I bet I would give him a couple of things.”

OOC: So is knocking over Fort Knox and leveling Area 51^^
IC:
"You've known Earnest for a week. I've known him for over fifty years, plus I've written his biography. That book is larger than this car. Earnest can pull it off, trust me. I've seen him do a lot of impossible things."

OOC: You’re not getting it, the only way into the cave in through Castle Von Wolf. JWolf is the only one with the key to the hidden door that goes down to the cave. It would be hard for anybody to get to Castle Von Wolf.

IC: “Don’t believe you. Earnest is not a God.” said JWolf as they head down the road.

"If Earnest isn't a God, then he certainly is Zeus's child," Shaku said. He leaned back and closed his eyes and began to snore.

“Well, good for him.” said JWolf. “I’m powerful vampire.”

Several hours later, Shaku awoke to a loud and large bump.
"Don't do that..." he mumbled and then realized he was awake. He looked out the rear window and his eyes widened.
"Jwolf, I think you hit someone..."

OOC: The truck has no rearview mirror.

IC: When Shaku looked at the driver’s seat, JWolf was not in it. This big redneck looking guy was in the seat. “Hello, sleepy head.” he said. “I be Billy Bob Pinetree. I be your driver.”

JWolf put his head through the small opening that like a window. “I paying Billy here, three truck full of meat to take us to Kanas. What did he hit?"

"Oh...You scared the shit outta me...Be more careful, Billy-Bob."
Shaku wandered back into slumberland.

“Sorry, funny looking person.” said Billy Bob. JWolf’s head went back in the back.

Shaku awoke again to a similar bump. He looked around and saw Earnest driving and they had a very similar conversation, only Sara had repalced JWolf and they were searching for Homer...Shaku poked himself and realized he was still dreaming. At least he wasn't stuck with an asshole vampire.

"Oh...where am I?" said Edward as he lifted himself off the ground "And what are these marks on my body. Well it seams real, so that means it's not a new hallucination. But it doesn't mean I'm wounded. Now what am I supposed to do?"

OOC: If you going to call the Count an asshole, when he has done nothing to Shaku or Earnest or Sara. I’m leaving this thread. Don’t have to listen to your insults.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/fort-knox.htm

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/fort-knox-depository.htm

Use those link about Fort Knox.

IC: When Shaku would awake, he would find himself in other vehicle. A man named Edward driving it. JWolf had warned the US government about the Fort Knox hit and was paid a large sum of money. He told the about the tunnels that Earnest show him. And told they that Earnest had brainwashed him in attacking Area 51. He had other things to do.

OOC: Fine with me.
IC:
Shaku cursed when he spotted the man. He stretched, and turned to Edward and asked,
"Can I help you?"

OOC: Fine with me.

"Can I help you?"

"It depends" said Edward as he walked toward the truck "Are you real, or are you a hallucination?"

"You ask me this question, but have you ever asked yourself that question? Am I real or am I simply at my dying moment having a flashback? It is life's many great questions. As for your questioning of my exsistance, yes, I am a real alien sitting next to you in a car headed to Kansas City."

"Well I've never known one of my delusions being philosophical, so I guess you're telling the truth. Now, why are we headed to Kansas City?"

"I have friends there that have gone missing. And do be wary, the military has been chacing me for the last week or so."

"I have friends there that have gone missing. And do be wary, the military has been chacing me for the last week or so."

"Hm. What were there political views? My delusions need to know these things"

"Political views? Power. That's all they want. More muscle and more brains to gain power. That's why I'm being chaced. I'm from the future."

"Political views? Power. That's all they want. More muscle and more brains to gain power. That's why I'm being chaced. I'm from the future."

"Sounds like the" suddenly his voice sounded older and more ragged "The Strongarmed Stratos! We must find a faster way to Kansas City or we'll be too late! Sorry, I'm a bit delusional right now"

"No worries, my friend, the man we search for is one that even you shall be surprised to meet. He is a man of many talents and many thoughts. To try and sort them out would lead to your ultimate demise. Allah knows it's happened to me."

"No worries, my friend, the man we search for is one that even you shall be surprised to meet. He is a man of many talents and many thoughts. To try and sort them out would lead to your ultimate demise. Allah knows it's happened to me."

"If that's true then why are you still alive? Not aware of any delusions that can do that."

"Knowing Earnest has led to my demise. I'm going to die on exactly September seventeenth, two-thousand fifteen, hour seventeen, minute forty-five, twenty-two seonds in a car in front of the Yallak capital building. Indirectly because of Earnest."
OOC: Basicly at this time:
09/17/2015 at 5:45:22

"I see. Well, we'd better hurry up. Don't want to leave your friends waiting" as he floored the gas pedal.

They sped up and within a few hours they found themselves in Kansas city.
"Now, theres a particular warehouse we've got to find..." Shaku said. He told Edward about the warehouse.
"You know where it is?"
((As a plot twist, he has, please?.))

"Now, theres a particular warehouse we've got to find..." Shaku said. He told Edward about the warehouse.
"You know where it is?"
((As a plot twist, he has, please?.))

OOC: If I understand you correctly...

"I believe it's on the other side of town. It's one of those places that screams 'It's me!'"

They drove to the warehouse, where they saw three cars and a man in front of the warehouse smoking a cigar and a Thompson in the other hand. He held it with both hands and then spotted Edward and Shaku in the car and relaxed.

"So, has it been established if you know when you die, you can take risks until that time, or is fate just a rough estimate?"

"I know it for a fact. It was recorded on a security recording."

"I know it for a fact. It was recorded on a security recording."

"So it involves time travel. Well, is time travel illogical, what with the "killing your grandfather" paradox?"

"All history is written. If you go back into the past and kill your grandfather, then you killed the wrong grandfather."

"All history is written. If you go back into the past and kill your grandfather, then you killed the wrong grandfather."

"So, can you take big risks?"

Shaku smiled and jumped out of the car. He rolled on the concrete and didn't move when he stopped.

Shaku smiled and jumped out of the car. He rolled on the concrete and didn't move when he stopped.

"I just hope they're not too heavily armed. He may be safe, but I'm not sure about me. Just wish I hadn't had my rifle crushed by this truck."

Shaku stood up and looked at the gangster, who was wide-eyed. Shaku only had a big bruise, torn clothes, and a few scratches. He wiped himself off and walked behind the warehouse.

"Better get down" as he lowered himself so only his eyes and the top of his head were visible through the window.

One of teh gangsetrs appraoched Shku and asked,
"'Choo Shaku?"
"Yes, I am."
"The alien, right?"
"Yes."
"Follow me, the baws is waytin'."

One of teh gangsetrs appraoched Shku and asked,

"Yes."
"Follow me, the baws is waytin'."

"Didn't see that coming. Better find something" as he slowly surveyed the surroundings.

"Wh' 'bout 'cher fren?" the gangster asked. Shaku looked at him with a look asking, "Well?"

"Nothing. Better keep lookout."

Shaku shrugged and followed the man. He led Shaku into the warehouse, where a very fat man sat, waiting.
"Ah, Shaku. Please sit. Coffee?"
Shaku shook his head.
"My name is-"
"Dominic Montegue, a gangster from Italy. You were a strong supporter of Mussolini until his downfall. You smuggled liquor from Canada to Detroit. Earnest was one of your rumrunners, also a hitman and he eventually became a made man of your organization."
Dominic smiled.
"Earnest's told you a lot about me then."
"In a way, yes."
"Well, I do know where my man is. But you've got to perform a task for me."
"Which is?"
----------
Shaku returned to the car and stared at the dashboard for a few minutes, breathing heavily.

"What happened in there?"

"That bastard had a child and nobody knew..."

"That bastard had a child and nobody knew..."

"Which bastard?"

"H-Hitler...He had a fucking kid and sent her to America disguised as a Jewish refugee when the Russians were on Berlin...Only five people knew, three of which are dead...Her name is Taresa, she lives in New York City. We're supposed to go kidnap her."

"H-Hitler...He had a fucking kid and sent her to America disguised as a Jewish refugee when the Russians were on Berlin...Only five people knew, three of which are dead...Her name is Taresa, she lives in New York City. We're supposed to go kidnap her."

"Well that's a surprise. Didn't think it was physically possible. Well we really should go. Off to New York" as the truck speed off.

"Not physcially possible? What do you mean?"

"Not physcially possible? What do you mean?"

"You don't need to know. Not particularly something you might wanna hear."

"If that's the case, then I didn't ask at all. Wake me when we're outta gas," Shaku said as he turned and slept.

"If that's the case, then I didn't ask at all. Wake me when we're outta gas," Shaku said as he turned and slept.

"Alright" as he continued to speed along, paying close attention to the gas.

---Several hours later---
"Well, wake up, we are out of gas. I knew I should've stopped for it."

"Are we near a town or gas station?" Shaku asked, not looking at him and with his eyes still closed.

Bump

"Are we near a town or gas station?" Shaku asked, not looking at him and with his eyes still closed.

"If a rustbucket that could pass for ruins from 200 B.C. is a gas station, then yes, there is."

Shaku opened his eyes and they widened.
"That's a car...Do you have a flashlight?"

Shaku opened his eyes and they widened.
"That's a car...Do you have a flashlight?"

"Wouldn't be much of a delusional man if I didn't. Ah yes, I didn't lose it when I went delusional and thought the sunlight was the sight of the devil. Here you go. And no, That's a one-time delusion. Won't get it for another year."

Shaku turned it on and shined it at the car. It was Earnest, trying to fix his car with Sara in the side seat. He was wearing a nice suit.
"Oh, shit, it's the cops!" he shouted and he ducked behind the car.
"Pull over, it's my friends! EARNEST! DON'T SHOOT! IT'S ME!"
"Shaku? SHit, man, we thought you were dead! Get your alien ass over here!"

"Shaku? SHit, man, we thought you were dead! Get your alien ass over here!"

"Would you care if I joined your little interplanetary reunion?"

"And who might you be?"

Bump for Theao

"Nice to see you again Shaku, who's your friend?" Sara asked

ooc: Didn't realize that they'd met up again

"This is Edward. He gets delusions a lot, I'm not entirely sure if he believes I'm real completely or not. I was told you guys were captured by the military?"
"Almost. We decided to get ahead of you guys and start the operation until you guys caught up. We stole a bunch of gold from Fort Knox. Then JWolf evidently told Homer what I was planning. He caught up with us and we escaped. Why'd you think we were captured?"
"Some guy called Montegue."
Earnest's face went pale.
"Dominic Montegue?"
Shaku nodded.
"What did he want?"

"Well if you're talking to me, and I'm talking back to you, I'm guessing he thinks I'm a delusion as well." Sara commented

"I'm not geven going to touch that one," Earnest said.

Sara turned on Edward, "Do you think I'm a delusion?"

Sara turned on Edward, "Do you think I'm a delusion?"

"No. They're conspiracy delusions mostly. Don't have delusions of ordinary people."

"But if I'm talking to him," She points to Shaku, "And you claim that he's you're delusion, wouldn't that mean I'd have to be one as well?"

"But if I'm talking to him," She points to Shaku, "And you claim that he's you're delusion, wouldn't that mean I'd have to be one as well?"

"No, I don't just hallucinate a few people, I imagine a conspiracy-like thing. And I have multiple delusions. They don't overlap. Be terribly confusing if it did."

"So everything is a hallucination?" She asked

"So everything is a hallucination?" She asked

"No. For example, this truck is real."

"Alright." Sara replied as she shook her head.

"So what did Dominic want with you two?"

"He wanted us to find-"

"Hitler's daughter?"

"Yeah."

"It's bullshit. He's pulled that on plenty of people, I was part of it a few times myself. You do all this tracking and then you get mugged and drafted into the Mob. He actually pulled Lenin on me. Kicked his ass and then smuggled liquor for him for a while, became a Made Man without killing anyone. On purpose."

Bump

"So I guess he want's a few new recruits?" Sara asked

"He's probably after Shaku. He's worth a lot of money, and the military would be overjoyed to have him back. Not to mention the fact Shaku could connect to where I am."

"So they're after you?" She said to Shaku.

"I don't know. They could be. They could just want our money, which we don't have any of. He could want to hold me hostage so Earnest will pay him to have me released now that he's filthy stinking rich."
Shaku turned to Edward.
"Maybe they're after you."
