Yeah I should probably log off now. Chat Thursday.

(THURSDAY!!! WOO!!! )

(Misty and Lao are going to kill me for doing this without them, but they weren't here, so )
Firestein's face became just the slightest bit stony, "You have been talking to them, haven't you?" He said, and sat down on the edge of the flower bed with a sigh. "I suppose you believe what they told you?"

( >.< I nearly died when Zen called for a medic... )

At the shout, he punched Firestein in the nose. For a moment he couldn't believe that he had actually done it, but shook it off. Someone came up behind him.

The world stilled. He could see the whites of the man's eyes through the cowl as he spun around. Something in those eyes made him hesitate. They were both terrified, both just trying to help their brothers, but it only lasted a moment.

Someone cried out, and Gage lunged. He shot his wing out and swiped him off his feet. He leapt into the air. Another soldier, six o'clock. Gage rounded on him and planted his heel in the man's jaw. Teeth cracked. Two down.
Firestein. After him! Another cowl. Land on his chest. Wind knocked out of him. Ow, my nose! You little-
Three down.
Firestein. Grab his collar. Heart beating. Sweat.

James Firestein lay on his back, a maniac standing over him, panting. The boy's eyes were wild, and his teeth dripped with blood from his nose. This wasn't the kid Nameless had told him about? What was this monster?
For two seconds, the Inhuman hesitated. Hmm. Amateur. He yanked at the chain in his pocket, but it was stuck. He yanked again.

Gage backed away, fingers still curled into claws. "Get up." He growled.

He almost laughed. "What?" He said, quickly taking his other hand and jerking the capsule out of the pocket.

"Get up!" He said through gritted teeth. The taste of rust, and with every breath he heaved, more blood came from his nose.

He squinted, "Whatever you say..." He said, and rolled over, grunting and seeming to strain to get to his knees. As his back was to him, he unclasped the capsule from the chain. "HERO." He swore, and leapt to his feet and hurled the glass pod.

Gage felt something break on his chest. Then felt the wet on his shirt.

Confusion flashed across his face for a moment. Then came the burning. Scorching heat that started in his chest cavity and worked it's way to his muscles. He shivered, and glanced up to Firestein.

That wretch grinned as Gage sank to his knees.

He could hear his breath, and his heart in his ears. His own muscles creaking amidst the roar of battle. When the fire reached his wings, he heard a cry such as he had never heard before, and never will again. As his face hit the concrete, he realized. It was his own voice.

( can't breathe )

Misty laughs, and runs at the men, slicing through them with ease, killing them all with no effort whatsoever
She wildy looks around, something filling her chest. Joy? No. Pain? No. What is this feeling? She tosses her head around, cutting through more soldiers blood spattering on her clothes, her vision gets blurry but she keeps fighting. She begins to laugh, louder and louder, with the more soldiers she kills the laughs become more malicious.

This feeling...

Ive felt it before..


She sees the child that Firestien was holding a little while ago, he smiles at his soldiers injuring the heroes. Misty rushes at him, grinning at the sight of all the blood, she disappears and reappears above him, landing on his shoulders and pushing him to the ground with a crunch

Misty whips around wildly, her vision just blurs.
She takes the childs head by his hair in her left hand and lifts it, then places her sword at his throat.
Something in her snaps, her eyes dull and all sense of mercy leaves her.

The head rolls to the side


This feeling...

Why is it so odd?..

What is it?...

No, I know what it is...

Its madness..

(what exactly did Maru do to her. O___O )

Zen flinched. "I'm sorry its just...." His voice trailed off. He took off his plaid over shirt and placed it on the serious wound. "Medic, we need a MEDIC!"

(Dies inside.)

Tayn heard Zens voice echoing up the hallway. She looked back at the door she had come though, and then to Janet, and Barnes. Her heart ached could she leave them here she had just found them. But how could she get them out? Rex would be able to melt the bars, but she was useless.

"I'll be back." She whispered apologetically, and ran for the door she had come though. she Knew where they would be they were looking for Firestein. She ran up the hallway toward the Dome room.

(I can't remember if anyone would have the crystals. I don't think Tayn took any, then again she likes to be ready for anything. Crow and Thomas I think went back in the cave.... Jayne was in the cave too.... hmm)

(Why do I actually feel like I'm going to cry?!)

(the only reason I'm not is my boy is right next to me and I think he would laugh at me. but there's been plenty of not breathing and hands over the face.... hiding the tears behind hands.)

"They are weak but he is strong," He sang his voice was barely intelligable anymore, yet somehow he felt the pain numbing. He turned his head, and smiled up at them. "Hoo-rah." He said. And he closed his eyes.

(yeah this is where the real tears set in...)

(Sammy needs to slap someone.)
Gabriel grabbed Sammy's arm and pulled her towards the Sound. "Look, we've got thousands to free. When you get them out, teach them the code. Each bubble has a number on it, and to get the code, you have to solve x=2⁴(4(x))e² got it?"

(NOOOO the maths!)

Zen let out a deep sorrowful cry. "Nnoooooo! This can't be! Take me instead! Gage doesn't deserve to die!" Zen raised his palms up to the sky. "Takkkeeeee meeeeeeeee!" He fell to the ground in agony, crying like he has never done before.

( WAAAA!!!! )

(wonder what happened to all those lovely blue buggers from the Myth's cave?)

(hmm... )

(me too... We may have to stop with a cliffhanger. And I can't rp tomorrow...)

(gasp!!!! Thursday will have to do. I will do my best to be here. 6pm central? or any time? - I've gotta find a place for Jayne to be.)

Dryden's eyes were red, but no matter how hard he tried his lasers wouldn't shoot, and none of his other powers would work either.

 

[RiverStorm]

(Ah.)

Firestein backed into the corner, grabbing a flower pot and heaved it at the boy. "Don't you get it, hero?" He spat the four-letter word. "You aren't meant to be here! You aren't real!"

Firestein hurled another flower pot at Thomas, and backed up another step. "You're fighting a losing battle! You're not meant to exist, do you hear me?"

Thomas easily moved out of the flower potts way but kept coming at Firestein, his eyes glowing even bluer, his hands clenched into fists and translucent blue light emanating from them. "You only think that. We are as meant to be here as you. We are just as real as everyone else. This battle? We`ll win it. We will win this battle and we will find our friends and the Sound Of Silence. Whether you tell us where it is or not."

(That is certainly true.)

As the last of his wings turned to a black puddle on the ground, silence fell. Soldiers grew still. Some took off their masks to better see what had happened.
The one Gage had knocked to his feet stared. "He... said he would never use that." Came a whisper.
Someone dropped their mask, then another. Followed by weapons. Faces came into the light for the first time in years.

River stopped shooting, tears filling her eyes. She put her pistol up and turned, kneeling down beside Zen, she stared at Gage. "Gage, you can`t die." Her voice was a mere whisper. Broken and sounding terrified.
Just like she was.
Her eyes flicked up to Firestein and Thomas, terror grabbing her heart that Firestein would do this to her brother, too. But she couldn`t bring herself to her feet.

( I almost made myself cry. I know Zen wasn't really that close to Gage, but his death really affected him. Zen could've done something instead of hide in the shadows like a coward.)

(I don`t think Gage is actually dead... at least not yet.)
