"He's a soldier." Yolandi says looking into his eyes "or something. You picked the gun bunnies to kidnap, I have been in quarantine and on a need to know basis. you wanna know what i know? they said shoot you guys. thats it" She sneered at him

[Reaver]

Emile chuckles at the short victory before focusing on how to get out. CLearly the door and walls are reinforced but he sees no other way out. Decideing he rather take another beating than get gassed he yells at the paladins. "GUYS WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IF WE DONT WORK TOGETHER. WE NEED TO TRY BREAKING THE DOOR DOWN AT THE SAME TIME." He takes a last breath of air hoping later he'll be able to take a few more in life.

Claire sighs and backs up. "Alright, well we should at least go after the other Paladins. Do you want to? Or should I?" she asks. She walks over to where her knives were on the ground and picks them all up. Claire then walks back over to Greg and the female paladin. "Uh, listen, I need my knife back, so this might hurt..." she says as she bends over and starts to tug at the knife.

[jayjaycaps]

Claire and Greg:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Neither of you can make out what the figure is, but you notice it expand and retract every so slightly, in a steady pattern. Then it dawns on you, that this thing is alive. It's breathing.

When Claire turns around to take the knife, the woman is standing up already. Her eyes have turned deep purple, and look like they are made of jewels. Her tears have dried, and she no longer sounds worried. She calmly bends down a bit, and pulls the knife out of the back of her leg like it was no big deal.

"Here, let me get that for you. You know, he could use some more tests... And you two seem like perfect play things for him. He'll love you, deary. I'm sure of it." She handed the knife back to Claire, with it dripping blood. With reflexes far to fast for someone who just had a knife in their leg, she quickly moved to the cage, pushing Greg over, causing him to fall onto his butt. Reaching the control panel, she taps a few buttons. The panel turns red, and the plexi glass cage retracts, revealing the figure inside.

A large man sits inside, with his back towards you. Seeing his prison disappear, he stands up and- Oh shit. This guy has to be at least nine feet tall. With arms as thick as a telephone pole, and with hands the size of a basketball, the giant turns around. You notice right away his purple eyes, the same color as the woman's. He also has thick, throbbing purple veins running the course of his body, and his skin is slightly blue. Cracking his knuckles, he looks Claire and Greg up and down. When he looks over Claire, he cracks a huge, toothy smile... Minus some missing teeth. Claire notices his massive bulge in his ridiculously large pants, about the size of a foot ball already.

The woman laughs, and claps her hands. "Oh, we're going to have so much fun! Won't we, Jack?" The giant's smile grows wider, and nods his head. Have fun with Jack, Claire!

The other Paladin's ignore you. As the gas rises, you notice their screams intensify. As it becomes higher then their noses, the all drop to the ground, still kicking and screaming. One of the takes out a knife, and stabs himself in the neck. He bleeds out onto the floor, but his body still moves, his throat still screams and his arms flail and thrash about. Two of the Paladin's have stopped moving, but you still see their chests moving, indicating that they are breathing. One of them screams the loudest, and you can hear what he shouts. "NO! GET THEM OFF, GET THEM OFF! HELP, PLEASE! NO!" The rest is inaudible, but he claws at his arms and legs, trying to shake off some invisible thing. The last Paladin just stands there, starring down at you, head cocked to one side. He stands perfectly still, and it doesn't look like he's breathing. Watching this horrible display, you run out of air. Taking a breath, the air tastes metallic and weird. You hear the Paladin starring at you laugh, a horrible, high pitched laugh, and you black out.

When you awake, you're back on the floor of your cell. The Paladin are gone, but you hear a noise behind you. Turning, it's... Yoladni, and five impossibly large men, with no faces and all black skin. The are gathered around her, and they're... Raping her? No, rape suggests it's not consensual. With pricks a meter long and as thick as a telephone pole, they mercilessly stuff her various holes. But she's enjoying this, and screams in ecstasy when she can.

"Oh yes, oh yes! Stuff me, stuff me, FUCK!" Yolandi orgasms, and pain more harsh then you've ever felt before rushes over you. It brings you to your knees, but you can't look away from the sex scene in front of you. You try to crawl to here, but they suddenly move far away, the floor stretching out for what seems like miles now. You hear her orgasm again, and the pain is much more powerful this time, and it courses through your entire being. You double over from it, and groan. But now, you hear a woman's laugh above you. You turn your head, to see Yolandi standing over you, fully clothed again. You smile, and she smiles back. But her smile quickly twists into a black scar across her face, and her eyes turn purple. Bringing her boot up, she stomps your face in, over and over, again and again. She doesn't break eye contact, and keeps the same, horrible and sadistic smile on her face. Just before you feel like you're head will be crushed from her foot, you black out again.

When you awake, you're in a field, much like the one you were captured in. Yolandi stands in front of you, back turned to you. You place an arm on her shoulder, and when she turns, her face is scarred by that smile. That horrible, horrible smile. This startles you, and jumping back a little, you bump into another Yolandi, identical to the one in front of you. Turning around again, the field is full of Yolandi's, each with that smile and cold look in their eyes. Reaching out to you, they push you down. You've drowned in a sea of Yolandi's, and the brutally beat you senseless. Clawing nails, smashing fists and combat boots beat you over and over, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. There's too many of them, and they all have that same, horrible... Horrible smile. You can't get it out of your head. You shut your eyes, and the smile is still there, and her eyes. They continue to beats you, ripping flesh and hair off, eventually tearing you apart. You can still feel each piece of you, as the tear those chunks into smaller and smaller pieces, until The Horrible Smile opens up and consumes you, piece by piece.-

You awake with a start, The Horrible Smile fading out of your vision. You're back in the sealed room, blood spattered everywhere. Your five friends are all dead, some with knives in various places, others will no injuries that you can see. On the wall in front you is The Horrible Smile drawn out in blood, but it's not quite the same as it's pure black counter part. On the adjacent wall are the words "HELP ME" written out in blood, and beside that "THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY" has been scratched out.

Shortly after taking the scene in, the Man's voice comes back. "Ah, you finally awake! See what happens to people who defy me, my friend? I hope you had as much fun experiencing it as I did watching."

Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The man furrows his brow. His voice is now high pitched and much more whiny, like a child having a fit. "No no no no NO! YOU'RE LYING! I KNOW YOU ARE! He lied, and I had to GAS HIM! NOW LOOK AT HIM! I had to break my new toy, and I'll break you too! Now, tell me the TRUTH!" He slams his fist against the glass, not believing you. You see in his eyes a touch of madness, and sadistic fear.

Luna:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Poor Luna! :'(

Veega flinchted when you brought you katana around, and thumbed the shave job you gave him. "Easy there, ya Lunatic! Could hurt somebody with that..." You think he kept talking, but you couldn't hear him over your flash back. When you come back, the vial is empty, and there is a band aid on your shoulder. The swelling on your head has gone down, and you arm no longer hurts. It even feels better then when you fixed it!

Veega is wiping his hands down with a rag, and closing the med kit. He's mumbling to himself, and you can't quite make out what he's saying. Seeing you come to, he turns to you in a sarcastic tone. "Great to have you back, Lunatic. We all missed you so much. Now get your ass moving, Ed's found us the Paladin HQ." Picking up the kit and attaching it to his belt, he heads back over to the up turned car he was hiding behind.

Mia:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Ed lets out a low whistle when you blow his brains out. In a solemn, low tone he adds; "Should have asked him something else..." He quickly perks back up though, and shakes it off. He follows you to Luna, and leans in close to whisper into your ear. "So you won. What do I have to do?"

Dax, Resh and Irvine:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Irvine's mortar went wide this time, missing completely. As the bullet's rained over Dax's head, the machine gun started getting faster. You feel the bricks behind you start to give, meaning the bullets are tearing through it. The rest of the Paladin's continue to focus on the Civilians, but a few at leats look over to see who has the mortar.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax: Taking cover. Health: 100%

Irvine: Mortar empty. Health: 100%

Paladins x 22: Looking over for Irvine. Firing at civilians.

[dndman997]

not knowing were exactly were he was actually hitting (being ordinance firing indirectly) Irvine adjusted the mortar again then loading it again and finring. lobbing a shell again while having his mac-11 close for defence

[daxtinator396]

Dax army crawls towards new cover as a few bullets tear through the wall, his arms scraping against the concrete of the sidewalk he was on before he keyed up the mike again and spoke more quietly into,"Please hurry Irvine not to rush you but he`s breaking through my cover!"

[Reaver]

Emile clutches his chest while breathing heavily trying to get over the truamatic experience. He starts to softly chuckle before getting even louder until his manic laugh fills the whole room. "You're one sick bastard, I'll give you that and that gas is really something but the things i've done make that shit look like Peewee's playhouse. He gets up and stares at the bloodly grin on the wall while holding up his hands. "I've seen children die, I've watched parents killed while shielding their kids only to see them die in their parents hands." He walks over to one of the dead men and picks up the still bloody knife. With his eyes closed he carves in the wall the exact skull that is on his own helmet. "I've done shit that makes you look like a saint, I've been the person pressing the button that condems worlds to oblivion or the person behind the gun that makes someone an orphan. SO IF YOU THINK MAKING ME HAVE DREAMS OF MY FRIENDS TEARING ME APART IS GOING TO BREAK ME YOU BETTER STICK TO THE BEATINGS, YOU FUCKING BITCH." His eyes snap open full of resolve and determination, and he clutches the knife while stepping back from his skull masterpiece. "You will never break me and anything you do to me or Yolandi, I will do 50x's worse to you when I or my team get me out of here." With that he sits down and closes his eyes again while twirling his knife between his fingers. He doesn't admit that he was a little shaken by the dream of Yolandi getting fucked like that, but that only gives him more energy to stick this out and not crack. "Your move Cumdumpster."

[kaibunny94]

"YOU FUCKER!" Yolandi throws herself against the glass as hard as she could ramming her shoulder into it and bouncing off. She begins to cry "oh 4" she says under her breath trying to contemplate what they are doing to him. "I'm not lying, I don't know anything, I'm drafted from another squad because i can shoot lots of things in a very short space of time." she pushed herself up against the glass small pert breasts squashed again "you have to believe me"

[Icaelus]

Luna brushed away the tears. She hadn't cried in like..what, after she had finally escaped from that layer of Hell? Man, if getting concussed like that meant bringing back those memories, she would wear a damn helmet everywhere she went. She swung her left arm experimentally, surprised when no pain came. Vegas was appar- no wait, Veega. She shook her head in confusion, her head starting to ache. Veega really looked like her tormentor back from years ago..
Veega spoke to her with that sarcastic tone she was so used to using, it unsettled her for a second for having it used right back at her.
"Nice to see you care so much, Veg- S.C."
Luna snapped, catching her mistake at the last moment. She sighed heavily as Veega turned away, palming her aching forehead.
Know the difference, dammit..don't let your memories get the better of you. Veega's a goddamned idiot, but he isn't Vegas. You personally killed him. Always remember..
She moved on silently as the squad began to pack up equipment and gather their wounded. Seemed like Ed had found the Paladin base..more resourceful than he looked, it seems..

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire slowly backs away. "I don't like the look on this guy's face..." she says. She turns around and quickly runs away. "Greg come on!" Claire shouts as she tries to run faster.

[Lady Foxy]

Mia glanced towards her side and smirked a bit, looking at Edward's eyes with a wink. ''I don't know yet, but it's obvious that you can't outmatch me in a killing match, eh?'' She whispered before smoothly placing her right hand on the top of his chest, walking past him before attempting to catch up to Luna.

Twist to the side to walk between those two soldiers, avoid stepping on the one sitting down and place a hand on her shoulder..

''Hey, you're feeling all right there.. Luna?'' She said on Luna's right ear, silently walking alongside her to avoid ruining the 'quiet' mood she carried.

[Icaelus]

Luna broke out of her little reverie as Mia's voice carried into her ear, blinking once in slight surprise. She had once again wandered off to her own world again..where everything was perfect for those few moments..
"Unh. Oh, Mia?"
She rubbed her aching forehead, giving her partner an obligatory glance.
"No..not really.."
Luna said truthfully. Mia was the closest thing she had to friend for a while. A partner. She probably wouldn't enjoy being a lunatic's mental doctor, though.. Luna hesitated, unsure if she could tell Mia her troubles.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Well, these past 2-3 minutes have been a cluster-mind-fuck for Greg. First the Paladin chick makes a sudden and..."thoughtless" recovery, so to speak...and now, we have some Incredible Hulk wannabe with supposed mind-control powers, and a hard-on the ladies could do pull-ups with... (and yes, he did get up)

Well, seeing how it apparently has its sights set on Claire, and will likely out-sprint her in no time, Greg decides to do the brave (and potentially stupid) thing:

"Run? And let this animal corner us with his more powerful strides? I think not." His machete is now held forward in his left hand, while his SMG is poised with the muzzle parallel to it, tilted towards the blade at a slight angle. This is a signature stance for Greg, one he only takes when he acknowledges that his foe is truly worthy. That's one thing that's kept him on the battlefield: rivals to surpass, and prove he's the better soldier. Rather unfitting when compared to his otherwise-considerate nature, but it's something of a side-effect borne of his combat experience.

"Let's face it, Claire, running's no good against this beast. If this is our last mission, then let's go all out, and make it one to remember." With that said, he turns to face the giant more directly, and shouts: "Come on, Blue and Clueless! If I'm Beowulf, then you're Grendel!" In order to hammer his point (and some bullets) home, Greg fires on the ogre's legs, aiming to hamper its maneuverability, while Claire takes pot-shots at the head (as any top-class soldier would do with dual pistols in this situation...hint hint). Of course, he's also keeping an eye open for when one of those big-ass fists is about to come crashing down at him, ready to dodge as needed.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire sighs. "Fine! But if we survive this, I'll kick your ass." she says before turning around and running towards the giant. She throws a few knives at the beast's head and then starts shooting at it.

[jayjaycaps]

Yolandi and Emile:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The man refuses to calm down. Your slamming against the glass doesn't do anything, other then hurt your shoulder and make him a little more pissed off. Pacing back and forth, he mumbles to himself, before calling down the hallway. "HEY! YOU TOW, C'MERE! Taker her into the chamber, and loosen her up a bit! I'll be with you boys shortly!" Turning back to you, he stands so close to the glass, his words fog it up. "You're going to regret lying to me, Yolandi. Emile would tell you himself... If he could still talk." A wicked, sadistic smile spreads across his face. Walking away, you hear his shoes clip along the floor, before becoming silent.

From the opposite direction comes two Paladin, who quickly open the door to your cell. Wasting no time, they push you down, and grab your arms. They drag you out and into the hallway, and towards a door. Immediately, you hear screams, intense screams of pain and suffering. It doesn't take you long to find the sources of the screams. On each side of you, cells identical to your own line the walls. Inside, some with live persons inside, others empty. A few even have some bodies that don't move...

The other prisoners look much worse off then you. A few scream, pounding on the glass, starring at you as you're dragged past. Some sit silently, others pace around, shouting frantically in some languages you don't know. You catch a few in straight jackets, and one with no clothing, biting at his wrist, squirting blood everywhere. When you reach the end of the hall, you enter through a door way. When the doors close, it goes pitch black, and the screams stop.

You are thrown away, and you hear the Paladin's retreating footsteps. Suddenly, the lights turn on, horribly bright flood lights above you. You're in a circular room, with an upper lip hanging over slightly, making a sort of balcony over an area type room. You can't see anything higher then the bottom of the lip, on account of the bright lights. Four Paladin jump down from the lip though, and after some knuckle cracking and stretching, they raise their fists. You notice on each a knife sheath, and a pistol in their holsters.

Yolandi: Sitting on her butt. Health: 95%

You hear some muffling and mumbling, and the man returns shortly. "You're quite resilient, aren't you? That was the weakest gas we had, but still very few survive with their sanity intact. However, I now know that I need to sharpen my game a little... And I know JUST how."

The door behind you slides open again, with four more Paladin bursting in. They grab your arms, two on each, preventing you from struggling. Dragging you out of the room, you're taken into a pitch black hallway. After a few turns and rough man-handling, you go up a flight of stairs. Once at the top, you and standing in a ring like balcony, several floodlights illuminating the floor under your position. Taken to the edge of the ring, you are restrained against the edge, given just enough room to see the circular arena under you. In the arena is Yolandi, and four Paladin on the other side. One of the men who took you in comments. "Have fun watching, kid. She's gunna get pretty fucked up."

Greg and Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Greg's bullets fly to Jack's legs, sinking in about half an inch... And that's it. Some blood dribbles out of a few bullet wounds, but nothing a few band-aids couldn't fix. The knives to his head and easily blocked by Jack's open palm, and bounce harmlessly off of his calloused hand. Dropping his hand, he begins to laugh at your measly attempts to stop him, but soon gets a few bullets flying at his face. He moves his head, but not before a bullet knocks out another one of his teeth, and clips his chin. You can see a good sized gash where the bullet grazed him.

The female Paladin quickly moves up to Greg, and pushes his gun down. Getting up close and personal, she pushes her chest into Greg's, her D-cup breasts squished against him. "Come on Greg, don't fight us. You can't win." Her voice is soothing and breathy, and it makes Greg get a little weak in the knees. "Emile and Yolandi told us everything. The Argonaut is dead. Stop fighting." Her offer is tempting, and a smile spreads across her plump lips. Wouldn't it be nice, to join them? All you had to do was stop fighting...

Meanwhile, Jack snorts, a little pissed off from the gunshot wound on his chin. He leers at Claire, and bounds after her, quickly closing the gap between them, arms outstretched. He lets loose a roar, and you can smell his rancid breath, even from the distance you're at. It won't be long before he's on top of you... Literally.

Jack: Charging Claire. Health: 95%

Paladin: Chatting Greg up. Health: 100%

Mia, Luna, Veega and Ed:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Ed leaves the two of you alone to go talk to James. You hear them whisper behind the car, and then a loud slapping noise.

Veega walks around the car, and lays out his plan of action. "Alright, listen here. Private Price has secured us the location of the local Paladin HQ. The plan is we crack open the Argonaut early, and set him on the HQ. We'll head back to him now, bunker down for the night, and drag his ass there in the morning. Everybody clear...? Good. Now let's move!"

Not actually waiting to see if you had any questions, Veega turns back to the crash site, marching. Once he passes the over turned truck, two soldiers swoop out from behind, flanking him. Two more come out, carrying a wounded woman between them. Ed brings up the rear, following the rest.

Dax, Resh and Irvine:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The third mortar round goes wide again, but hits a building with other Paladin in it. The machine gun is now firing at full speed, churning bullets out faster then you can count. Dax feels them hit his body, the pain getting sharper and sharper as they have less and less brick to travel through. Dax hears from the same bunker someone shout: "Over there! Mortar spotted!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax: Getting pelted with bullets. Health: 80%

Irvine: Spotted (But he doesn't know it yet!) Health: 100%

Paladin x 18: Spotted Irvine, moving in. Still hitting Dax. Machine gun at full power.

[daxtinator396]

"DAMMIT IRVINE TAKE OUT THAT BUNKER! YOU`VE BEEN SPOTTED!" He screams into the mike as the bullets begin to impact againts the brickks against his back.

[Reaver]

Emile looks down into the arena to see Yolandi surrounded by four paladins. He trys breaking free of the guards but can't because of the numbers so he resorts to yelling. "YOLANDI, DONT WORRY ABOUT ME, JUST KICK THOSE BITCHES' ASSES AND SHOW THEM WHY YOUR ON OUR TEAM." coughing up a little blood Emile turns to his guards before chuckling. "Ha she'll be the one doing the fucking up. Just tell your boss to let us go and I wont shove his cock up his own ass."

[kaibunny94]

Yolandi scrabbles up and gets herself into a solid fighting position one foor slightly forward on the balls of her feet, she is waiting for them to come to her as a counter will be an easier way to throw them, the use of their weight and some momentum she knows will be the best way to get out of this on top. she breathes heavy raising her fists and preparing for a fight where she is both outnumbered and outgunned.

[wolf_demon]

Resh begins to wake up and finally get his head in the game. He was looking around trying to figure out what just happen and how to help his team mates. He goes to his com "Where you two at I am on my way. Repeat tell me your position. Over."

[daxtinator396]
