(this takes place almost 16 years after the fall of ralkovia)

It was a massive find, its significance was world changing, and most importantly it was something for the memory of a few people. One of the late Emperor Josh's labs had been found, it was a huge underground complex that stretched for miles on the large desert island of Aisling. Aisling was one of Joshs hugest labs and his main work place. Abandoned for almost 500 years before Josh had ever used it, he had it built in secrecy during his time as an heir of the ralkovian throne as a hide away from his evil uncle Maximillians attempts to end his life.

The 60 death guard who had guarded the complex were long dead but they still stood guarding the entrances waiting for the return of their long dead Emperor.

The ralkovian oil company Travenex had found the site accidentally after beginning to drill. One of their drills had fallen down almost 3000 feet to the bottom of the lab as they had apparently found a long abandoned air shaft.

The ralkovian government had been called in and they in turn had recognized the site as protected. The lab would of course have to be destroyed after Joshs notes and inventions had been salvaged for later use.

Josh was known for his genius but he was also known for what lengths he did to get this knowledge, human experimentation, genetic engineering, etc. They had never had to cover up anything on this scale though and foreign media easily got wind of this discovery.

The broadcasts would reach across world wide. It would come to the attention of several important figures from the soviet system, void templar, and the Mt. Id.

(Hmmm 16 years after that means does that mean Josh's and Tara/ Ernesto's kid comes in?)

Ivan Trot caught word of this, he was head of science in the Soviet System, he made plans to visit the lab right away, before leaving he wrote a note for Ernesto cause he would want to know

"No!" Rafzekael slammed his fist down on the table. "My lady, I understand that they and us are soon to be joined, but the fact of the matter is, we have seen what these Ralkovians do! They are little more than savages! Bloodthirsty mongrel dogs, deserving of nothing but hottest lead!" Tara's face stayed calm in front of the very angry, very tall man in full armor stood in front of her.
"Commander, what are House Templar?"
"We, ma'am, are bloodthirsty savages, deserving of nothing but the hottest lead, but at least we admit it and are controlled! These fiends run amok!"
She sighed. "Very well. I'll ask to send overseers. You will be among them. Appeased?"
"Appeased enough, ma'am."

From Her Royal Majesty, Empress Tara Whyt, Ruler of the Void and Her Colonies
We have heard about your recent discovories. While we are overjoyed at some of Josh's technology being found, some of our generals are worried. There is great power in that lab, and must be regulated. I ask to send a few of my most trusted men to oversee this. They will, of course, follow any orders you ask of them. All they shall do is report back to me on any findings, and shall not interfere with the process.

OOC: Can my friend join? He's called The Shadow System and was called Ih8uwannakillu.

(Hey maybe Tara's son can go to, might tie him in some way, cause Ernesto will go soon)

(Hey maybe Tara's son can go to, might tie him in some way, cause Ernesto will go soon)

To: Mrs. Tara
From: The Administration of Research and Destruction of J-inventions
[yes theres an administration that deals with Josh's inventions]
Well in all good mind we cannot allow any one near the site. Empress Maria is not even allowed. Our main plan is to see if there are any booby traps before destroying the entire lab and its contents.

"We'll send someone anyway, Rafzekael." The armored man paced the room. "We'll wait until they've finished their checks, and we'll monitor the area via satellite. They cannot refuse us if they have nothing to hide."

The ralkovian command had made a big deal about the area for sure. The once abandoned island began to be populated by government soldiers, scientists, and surveyors. The men were very careful since the ground was supposed to be unstable. No airports were allowed on the island due to the instability.

Ralkovians helicopters lined up though dropping off light equipment and supplies. Men were extremely careful after all they were exploring something made by Josh.

(Void should maria and whoever your kid will be already know each toher or will this be the first time they meet?)

TO: The Ralkovian government
FROM: The Shadow Council
We hear that you have had an aparently historical and scientific discovery. We would respectfully as to be granted permision to send a research time to analyse said discovery and would li8ke to offer our resorces to aid in your work with the discovery.

(Void should maria and whoever your kid will be already know each toher or will this be the first time they meet?)

OOC: I'd say met before, unless you want this RP to be swung off course, which I am afeared might happen.

OOC: can I rp sophia/ my nation in this one?

(Ahh that happens in all my rps but its okay...Let this be the first time they meet, uhh Shadow I'll respond in a minute)

"Josh must be rolling over in his grave," one of the soldiers said as the other five men in the group laughed. "So where should we put this thing?" One of the soldiers shouted at the young commander walking behind them. "Ummm anywhere," the 22 year old man said to the older but lower ranking soldiers. They began setting up a remote detonated necklogen nuke, it was a containment plan if they released any of Joshs monsters, plagues, or any other weapon that the military couldn't control. After a few moments the men had almost finished activating the nuke."Commander we need the pin code, key, primer, and OCOD," the man said waiting for the commander to do what he was supposed to do and take command,"Commander Nickelson?!?" The soldiers looked around but he was nowhere to be seen."G-ddamn Rookie he's probably wondering around lost and looking for his mommy," said one man, the other laughed before saying,"Maybe command should give men with experience leadership before they give it to some shithead out of college."

As the men walked back hoping to find the commander, one of them slipped,"FUCK!!!!!!!" He said getting up, the other men laughed before shining a light on the ground. The ground below had a pool of blood, literally just centimeters in front of them was a large deep trench, commander nickelson laid impaled on a pole."SHIT Radio command!"

(sure sophia is more than welcome)

To: Shadow Council

Unfortunately we cannot allow anyone near the site. Joshs labs and sites have proven to be extremely dangerous grounds even to those most careful. We have already lost a helicopter, 5 trucks, a tank, and over 50 mens lives alone in the few days we have been here.

To: Ralkovian overnment
You have our condolances over the loss of your troops. Know that we will be ready to help you if you need it to contain any experiments or plauges of general evil scientist-y creations.

"Prepair to dispatch a Hunter batalion two Devai squads to cover them, in the meantime send another hunter squad over anyway, use the Shadows breath (http://octopus7.deviantart.com/art/HMAS-HAMMERSLEY-ACPB82-74002680) to stay just outside Ralkovian waters."
"Yes, Honoursble Deligate"

The ralkovians were very careful not to let anything leak out that they couldn't contain. The waters around the island had at least what would look like 3 regular fleets(60 ships).

The ships in the immediate vicinity were
6 nimitz aircraft carriers
24 destroyers(arleigh burkle, Spruance, and Iroqouis classes)
12 Manticore Cruisers
9 Virginia Class attack subs
6 Ohio Class SSBN
and 3 Supply ships

Along with those ships were countless patrol boats, minesweepers, and gun boats

OOC: (O_o) oo er missus?

(I'm waiting for you and void)

(suddenly i aint so keen to enter your waters lol) The Shadows breath glided silently thrugh the water. Quickly it stoped, just short of Ralkovias waters. At its prow stood 18 Hunters thier armor glistening in the sun "And now we wait" one of them said as they watched a Ralkovian ships float on bye.

The ralkovians began using URV(unmanned recon vehicles) instead of men as it was deemed to dangerous. After the necklogen nukes were placed everyone just wanted to get the hell away from the lab since they insured it would no longer need to worry about containment.

One of the URVs headed down a long pathway. It seemed to stretch for at least a mile when the path began to incline. The URV shifted its head to look around and turned on a flashlight. The light immediately glanced back as it was greeted by something big white and metallic. The URV backed away for a larger view of whatever this thing was, it turned on all its flashlights as the view of a large Ship (http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/9/27/f_Doombringerm_eb3bc09.jpg) of sorts could be seen. It was huge and from the looks of it went on for several thousand feet, the camera even extended all the way up couldn't see the end of the ship.

(the ships won't detect your guys, or at least I won't rp it that they know. Your soldiers could probably get sucked through some sort of underwater passage that leads into the lab)

(Dang I leave for a bit, and now im confused)

(The ralkovians found a lab of Joshs and they are not letting anyone inside. Its pretty easy to walk right in seeing as the ralkovian government is still weak)

Ernesto and Ivan landed in a Soviet System base in Ralkovia, and they took a car, heading to the lab site

The small, 10 man submarine drifted below the waters, heading for the lab site. The submarine, specially modified with stealth, suddenly stopped and the front dome lifted open with a hiss, revealing an airlocked door. This opened, and a group of 7 VT marines swam out, their oxygen tanks, masks and propulsion boots allowing them to move undetected under the sea. They swam, searching for entrances into the base. If the Ralkovian's wouldn't let them in, they'd just invite themselves.

(its on a heavily patrolled island)

The void soldiers began to lose control of their propulsion as they were sucked into an underwater vent leading into the complex.

(Are u serious, dang it)

OOC:EDIT for easiness


Ernesto and Ivan were with the Void men

(just say you were with the soldiers void sent)

(Lol ok)

The 18 hunters looked almost exactly as they had half an hour ago, only now they had 3 small oxygen tanks on thier back, a wrist mounted harpoon launcher with 3 harpoons of amunition and spiker rifles and grenades in a water proof bag. Thier helmest had been upgraded with the latest analysis equipment but even so,4 Swii from the ships crew would also be in attendance, after all they WERE the best scientists in the alliance,

Now the hunters took to the water, sinking almost instantly, the diminutive Swii follwing with ease. The hunters boots propelled them forward with pulses of compressed (safe)gas. Catching sight of the templarians they followed them, too late detecting the currents of the under water vent and beeing sucked in along with them, the Swii fareing no better.

(I'm probably not going to be on all of today and if I am I will be on my phone doing it. So please excuse any bad spelling)

ooc: BUMP

The vents that had sucked them in actually acted as a cooling tunnel for the necklogen engines that still turned regulating and powering the containment chambers below. The void and shadow troops would be alarmed to find the water to be warming at an extraordinary rate. It would soon reach boiling point and get even hotter than that, the torrent of water behind it meant that the water could reach an even higher rate.

The troops would be doomed to be scolded alive, ahead of them though was there only hope, it was a maintenance ladder made of a composite type of tungsten. They had one chance and only one chance to get out or they would all be boiled and their remains filtered back into the ocean.

The shadow troops seized the opurtunity with gusto, using thier boots to get as close to the ladder as posable and acending it as fast as they could.

(EDIT: 1 Swii and 4 Hunters, the others get goopified..)

The water torrent would provide a difficulty for even the strongest propulsion and the boots were of no help. They would lose their only hope if they didn't act fast.

The captain and two of his squad managed to grab the ladder with their gauntlet's grappling hooks, the other's falling down into the torrent of water below and disappearing in a flesh colored bubble. The squad began to haul themselves up.

All the men were lucky enough as the water system shut down and drained out immediately saving everyone from being boiled. The cause was a clockage of an dud torpedo recently thrown overboard from a ralkovian ship. The entire island chain shut down do to power failure. The island had provided a huge amount of power through underwater cables.

This was good and bad news for the void and shadow. The water had stopped and they were no longer at risk for boiling to death but the water was draining and the service hatch had closed as some sort of machinery at the top of the tube began to spray cooling agent into the pipes to keep them from melting. The sprays power was evidenced as one of the void who had missed and gotten fartherest away from the captain stopped immediately after the spray hit him, he was frozen to death within seconds.

The void and shadow had to run back to where they had entered as fast as they could and try to find someway out or they would have the unfortunate pleasure of getting cooled down.

"MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!" the hunter leader houted as his vision switched to infra-red "Get to the tunnle entrance, there must be something in here we can use to get out"

"Sir, what do we d-" The man fell silent as the coolant hit him, freeing him and sending him toppling down the chute.
"Always happens to me." The captain shook his head, before grabbing a Swii and throwing him up into the spray. The small creature jammed into the machinery, temporarily blocking the spray for long enough for the captain to move to cover, switching his vision to EMP Sight.

(the machine is pretty much an arc at the top with tiny hoses)

The machine would soon catch up with at least 3 of the men turning them into ice sculptures.

(Your choices)

(im lost in this all, so I will set out for a bit)

OOC: Upper body strength, impaled it on one of the lil' hoses.

(Well still 3 more men will be frozen)

There was a small outcove on either side of one the tubes. They were especially built for if you were trapped in here. Both had a manual override button that allowed for a complete system shutdown.

Two of the swii and the final marine soldier were frozen, as the captain ran for the alcove and slammed the button down.
"Never a boring day, eh?"

The machine began to come to a complete stop and go down to the ground. A female computer voice began to talk,"Please step onto machine, please step onto machine, please step onto machine."

(I got to go for awhile)

"You could say that!" the hunter leader said, pushing the other button, relaxing slightly when the tubes began to slow down.

(bye)

*waves*

(bump)

The hatches began to open to allow the men outside of the pipes. They heard a loud thud as 5 ralkovian soldiers rappelled down from an open ceiling hatch. The men didn't even see the void or shadow troopers who remained hidden from view through the hatches."G-dammit, where the hell is the exit on this fucking thing," said one of the men obviously the leader of the group, which was shown by the colonel ranks and his older looks. The other 4 soldiers nodded in agreement,"try the radio again natalya," said the leader. One of the soldiers took off her back pack and tried to work the radio,"This is squad 13, former platoon 13, does anybody copy?" The woman frowned before shaking her head,"No luck Colonel Travis."

The colonel spoke again,"Damn, we've lost 25 men in this freaking expedition of this complex. Shouldn't the death guard have been sent in, just cause I was Emperor Josh's friend doesn't mean I knew all the freaking secrets he had, I didn't even know he had a lab outside the palace."

"A-HOY UP THERE!!" shouted the one remaining Swii in its best Pirate voice before reciveing a swift kick from a hunter who said
"Hail, warriers of Ralkovia. If your looking for an exit, its doubtful you'll find it here only water and some coolant machinery, speaking of which, I sugest we all get out of here ASAP, that coolant was needed for a reason.."

OOC: oh an void, if you dont post on my ft intro ill hit you with myhitty stick!!

The ralkovians answered back in surprise,"we found some sort of nav map that told us an exit was down here."

"We were pulled in here by a current, its more likely what ever is at the end of this shaft needed the sea water to stay cool"

"Sir they are right heat levels are beginning to rise."

(sorry I had to go)
"sir heat levels are rising," said one of the men, he had a built in computer on his helmet as he began to read out the heat rate. "Well then lets get out of here." Said the leader.

"Exelent idea! UP!! NOW!!" shouted the lead hunter and instantly the shadow troopers moved, climbing the ladder.

The captain said nothing, taking a small orb out of his pocket and tossing it back into the tube, before nodding.
"Lets go." There was a hiss as the orb contacted the coolant, then a noise of scraping metal before a faint green flow showed up on the walls.

"The way we came up is not a good idea. There was a swarm of these attacking insects it took two of our squadmates including my twin sister," said one of female soldiers looking down to the floor.

A buzzing noise could be heard,"SHIT GET DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" One of the men yelled as the noise got louder. The ceiling hole the men had escaped in was now closed as hundreds of millions of small insect like things blocked the entry."There has to be another way out of here."

"Well untill you find it, Garn!" the lead hunter shouted, signaling for a hunter to step forward. The Garn pointed his wrists at the advancing swarm, jets of flame shooting into the swarm, the others fireing off a few rounds as they insects advanced.

"The way we came up is not a good idea. There was a swarm of these attacking insects it took two of our squadmates including my twin sister," said one of female soldiers looking down to the floor.

A buzzing noise could be heard,"SHIT GET DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" One of the men yelled as the noise got louder. The ceiling hole the men had escaped in was now closed as hundreds of millions of small insect like things blocked the entry."There has to be another way out of here."

The captain calmly twisted a dial on his gauntlet, then ran in next to the hunter pointed it at the swarm.
"May wanna cover your mouths." He tightened his fist, and immediately a gas cylinder shot from the gauntlet's barrel, bouncing of the ground and sending a thick black smog. Anything that inhaled the gas completely lost control of it's movements, then thrashed around in a fit before dropping to the ground as the biocide attacked the nervous system, lungs and brain of the effected.

It had no effect on the insectoids because they were millions of little nanobots formed into millions of insects. Making them nonorganic, thats why they could also launch there own nanobots as weapons back at the men on the bottom.

The computer still talked,"Please exit through lift." The lift was in fact a lowered piece of machinery that once sprayed the liquid coolant.

The swii ranforward in an unusual act of bravery and threw a small disk on the grond before diving down the ladder again, a few hunters following him, the rest deploying solid shields from thier left arms and forming a perimiter around the hatch "GO! shouted the leader before a cluster of nanites pinged off his helmet, another going thrugh the now weakened metal, spraying orenge blood from the hole .

"Nice knowing you." He saluted the Hunter's, before rolling another one of the green and silver orbs to the man's feet and tossing the hunter one of the remote detonators, then running diving down onto the lift.

The hunters went down after the ralkovians, pushing twop detonaters. One trigered the small disk, sending lightning arching around the confined space and oliterating pretty much anything electronic, the second detonating the templar grenade
OOC: I'm not gonna wait for Ralkovia to post, but they only detonate it after he runs away.

The ralkovians exited with the group. The insects were disabled.

(Bump)

ooc: What to say...?

Ooc: Void hurry up and rp

The captain kicked the wall in frustration.
"Where do we go now then, eh? Go further in or leave this place?"

"It doesn't look like we have a way out down here. We should try to find another way out."

"Righto." He took off his backpack, taking out a few rations, handing them out, then taking out a round ball. "This is a resonator. It'll send out a sonar pulse, map the area and show us most of the complex. Only danger is of sonicly activated traps. This guy Josh must have had a couple."

"We are in a lockdown area, that means that whatever guarded this place would be coming after us. Josh was not known for relied on people to guard a place, he liked to use rather deadly machines, so we should probably get out of here firs-"
*loud whirring noise followed by clanking of feet*
"LETS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Pattern 6 lets move!!!, prime weapons fire on the move NOW!!!"

"Funny thing about robots is that they don't like electricity." He cocked his rifle then grinned. "If your Spec Ops, then either you should have rubber soled boots or this is going to hurt like hell."

"Mr, does it look like i have rubber soled boots, fortunatly we have high pain tolerance...."

"I rather not stay and find out if its a machine"

"Amen to that, doesn't look like theres anywhere to go, unless you fancy going back up"

"We don't mind back tracking, we already killed off most of the things behind us." The leader said agitate and anxious to get out of there.

The whirring noise came to a sudden halt and machine guns began to shoot at the group.

"Cover!!!" roared the hunters as one, deploying thier shields again and ducking behind them, firing thier 'gun-blades' in the general direction of the bullets.

Despite thier exeptional reaction speed several hunter wern't fast enugh and 4 went down before they even deployed thier shields, hitting the ground with a loud clang.

The light from the flashes of muzzles gave an eerie picture that wound haunt any normal soldier. Leicheoberschutze, (http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/arrondock/?action=view&current=leicheoberschutze.jpg) dead men walking, as they were called. Impervious to biological, chemical, or radiation warfare they could easily walk through mine fields, charge at emplaced guns, or anything that required courage, not because they were courageous but because they didn't have fear.

"What are those things!"

OOC: That pics now mine, y'know.

IC: "Kickass, we're fighting zombies!" He emptied his clip into the heads and limbs of the Leicheoberschutze, going by nothing but old horror films.

It didn't go down, instead it just fired back at the man. There were no brains in its head.

(Go ahead, I'm about to show a lot more)

He ducked underneath the shots, shouting over the gunfire.
"How strong is the tunnel?!"

"What do you mean?, this whole place is made up of reinforced concrete and steel."

"STEEL AND CONCREET CAN STLL FALL, ESPECIALY WITH WATER!" roared another hunter, lobing what looked like a crab over his shield. The 'crab' scuttled along the tunnle towards the nearest 'zombie' and poked it with a claw, transfering a few thousand volts into it's leg. then exploded, leaving a black scorch mark on the floor.

"I was wondering whether this would help." He took a large chunk of C4 off his belt, now laying behind a corpse. He blindfired a few rounds, then continued. "Blow the floor out. I'm taking it those things don't jump too well."

"Mmm, good idea. Do it, we'll cover you! Hunters, defence patern theta 9, now!!" The hunters rose as one, thier shields extending further till they were millimeters from the ground, and advanced to form a wall around the templar.

"The main problem with that being we don't know the structural integritiy of the place and we don't know if we're underwater or in a pressurised environment. Best to wait and find out."

The Zombies were killed."We should definitely get out of here."
