Twice to Ahead

[Srgntcuddles]

Reno had gotten to the corridor of his cell, still being led by the guards, he eyed a few other cells along the way with occupants in them. He didn't get enough time to get a good look, merely a glimpse, enough to know that someone was inside though. As he was led into his cell he saw the rookie guard from before waiting outside the door. The two guards left Reno in his cell, exited, locked the door and left. The rookie guard was standing watch, as the two other guards left out of sight he unlocked the door and entered Reno's cell.

"Think you can shock me and get away with it?!"

Reno just shook his head "No" as it still hung low. He was standing in front of his chessboard when the guard punched him in the face knocking him over the chessboard and onto the ground. As Reno was on the ground the guard marched over and kicked him in the gut, sliding him into a corner.

"Not so tough now, huh?! You freak!"

Reno curled into a ball in the corner and shook his head "No" again. Satisfied, the guard turned, kicked over Reno's chair and left the cell, locking it behind him.

The jeep rumbled over the dirt track, as Kitt sat back in his seat... over ten hours of flight had worn him out, the Hind was a fast, but difficult vehicle to use...
"Mr.Szvarda.... it says here in your details that you flew your first helicopter at the age of thirteen... that is quite astounding..."
Kitt looked up at the corporal, shrugging nonchalantly... "I like to fly helicopters... start from young age is good..." The corporal frowned lightly, but nodded... "Yes well... we just need to sign you up formally... and then we can get started on training... though i have a feeling we might not have much to train you that you do not already know..."
It was Kitt's turn to frown, tapping impatiently on his flight helmet... "No... always there is more to learn.... i am good pilot, i know this... but i still have more to learn, things you cannot learn through teaching... sir..."

In her cell Jessica pored over a page of her tattered book... One word in particular had stumped her, and she mouthed over and over silently in an attempt to work it out... She barely looked up as someone was bustled past her cell by two guards... When reading she was in her own world, the world created by the author... A world where she was not trapped by walls and doors, free within this whole other world....
The door opened and closed, as the scientist walked back in, clipboard still in hand... "Ah.... I see you are reading again #A666"
Looking up from the book, she flicked her tail in semi-annoyance... she wanted to read in silence...
"I do have  a name..."
The scientist smiled bitterly, scirbbling somthing down on his clipboard... "Yes... Jessica Pawsman... Interesting, as it is the name of the character in the book you are currently reading... we have made note of this..."

[Srgntcuddles]

After awhile of being alone in his cell, Reno got to his feet. He left his corner, ears still hung low as he propped back up his chair. After the chair he set up the chessboard and reset a game. But before he sat down he scooped up what he could of the sunflower seeds back into the bag. Once Reno returned to his crouched position on the chair he ate a couple sunflower seeds whole before moving his Knight out into the field.


Rio looked at Charles with a sneer and looked back at her things on the beach. The towel was scrunched up from the scuffle, the umbrella tipped over and her basket of various things tipped over. Noticeably a small brick of C4 had fallen from her basket with many other wires and electronic pieces, sun screen, lotion, pack of gum and various other feminine beauty products. She looked back to Charles, removed her sunglasses and smacked him on the forehead with them before hanging them on her shirt between her breasts.

"Grab my stuff and follow me, move it, rookie!"

Rio walked off with a snicker, she was going to enjoy this new recruit. Even if it meant working him to death.

[Gabag]

As Rio walked on, Charles cursed silently under his breath as the C4 brick fell out. Carefully scooping it up, and then scooping up the feminine beauty products and the rest of her crap, Charles marched in step behind her while helping himself to her Tropical Fruit Bubilicious. If she was going to be cruel, malicious, and evil, Charles at least wanted to give her a reason to do it. He felt it justified things. And besides, he got a sweet look at her behind now.

He wished he could've grabbed the sunglasses from her hand, but then he would get in trouble due to how AWESOME the military was when it came to rankings.

Moaning, Vinne woke back up, grumbling to himself in pain, and with a pair of swears, stood up and sat on his cot. His spine still tingled from the shock and it felt really odd. He stood up as his door was opened and a scientist walked in with a pair of guards.

The man said not a word but moved his finger upwards, and Vinnie followed the gesture and voluntarily followed him, the guards just there to make sure Vinnie didn't stab anyone. While he was walking, he got a glimpse of a rabbit playing chess electronically, and he practically heard that creepy guy talking to himself and his puppets.


"Thank God I'm not that freak..."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurian raised a talon when the soldiers stopped conversing amongst themselves. Their guns only lowered a few since he still hadn't shown any signs of hostility, which was unusual for the profile of Subject A002, whom would have already tried to infect them all in one attack. However Yurian only saw that the girl he was after, had jumped into the water, and he wanted to make sure she didn't drown from the fall.

"May I have permission to read my file to see when I'm allowed to take off my helmet?" He slowly shifted his head around to see if he was allowed, and he finally got a nod from the only one dressed slightly different from the rest. He opened his jacket to show the folder sleeve, then opened the sleeve before sliding out the file. He then opened the file to see any exceptions to the 24/7 helmet rule.

"I have permission to take off my helmet for sleeping, and for identification... Ah, guess I can" He put the folder back quickly and then looked at all of them again before sliding off his helmet.

A few of them mouthed 'Oh %$&#' when they saw that not only had they gotten the wrong color of dragon, but someone whos features only barely resembles A002's.

"C-carry on, SPC Yurian..." the middle soldier said before they walked past him with a mixed feeling of idiocy and relief. Yurian quickly put his helmet back on and sprinted towards the girl he saw earlier, perfectly ready to make a good first impression but also a bit concerned about the height of the drop.


Ellina finally stopped when she arrived at the floor where her Moon's scent was again traceable. She made her way to a room with- Moon! my beautiful Moon!.

But, she had to keep herself from shooting out of the vent and embracing her since she was not only easy to excite, but there was someone else in the room. She would have to use all the stealth at her command to use the element of surprise to any decent effect.

However, she could not consciously stop her scent glands, which gave her away to anyone who had personally encountered her up-close.

[Srgntcuddles]

After awhile of playing, Reno had lost. Resetting the game with one hand he starting eating some sunflower seeds with his free hand.

"That alarm...It's...Getting quite annoying..."

Once he was done resetting the game he looked around the room. Unfortunately there was nothing he could do about the speaker embedded into the ceiling. It was secured behind a steel grating, out of his grasp. The reason his room was void of any electronics was the sole reason of his curiosity towards them. He enjoyed very much to use his power to turn all the things in his room into robots, once he turned his TV into a bomb and sent his guards to the infirmary. He didn't mean to though, he was developing his powers. But soon after that they limited him to a certain area in which to test his powers. Often it is used as a bribe for Reno, it's filled with all kinds of games and other electronic devices. Reno sighed, put his sunflower seeds beside him in the chair and stood up. He paced back and forth on the side of the chessboard before finally walking to the door. He peered through the barred window and looked at the guard across from the door eating and drinking. He saw Reno looking at him, stood up and walked over to him. He held up a can of Coka-Cola and waved it around a bit.

"Want this?"

Reno nodded, watching the soda as the guard moved it around teasing him. The guard sneered, unlocked the cell door and opened it. Reno stood there, looking him over without moving his eyes or head, just focusing on the soda but using his peripheral vision to see the entire guard. Considering this was the rookie guard from before Reno expected what was about to happen. The guard held the soda in front of him, continuing to wave it around.

"Go ahead, grab it."

Reno reached for it as he kept moving it out of his reach. But Reno was using a certain pattern to get him to move the soda closer to his shoulder so he could touch the guard's radio. Soon enough the guard punched him in the face, giving Reno the opportunity to just barely touch it. Reno fell flat on his back.

"Too slow, freak!"

The guard closed the door, locked it and went back to his food and drink laughing. Reno felt his nose, it was bleeding. He just figured it a price to pay to get done what he needed to get done. He stood up and walked over to his bed and sat down, wiping his nose occasionally.


As Rio walked towards her jeep she looked in it's mirror to see Charles following and checking her out. She smirked, cracked her neck and flicked her tail. She went to the back of the jeep, opened the tailgate and walked to the driver's seat motioning for Charles to put the stuff in the back. Her jeep was a dark blue Rubicon with no doors. Rio slid into the driver's seat, took out her keys and stuck them in the ignition. She then waited for Charles.

[Gabag]

Vinnie was taken to an well enclosed white room. The scientist walking with the guards and Vinnie himself unshackled Vinnie's 'failsafe' and led him further into the room.

"We need to see whether or not your powers actually do damage.."  The scientist said.
A ballistics gel dummy was dragged into the room, and Vinnie was instructed to stab it. He obliged by forming his left arm into a spear, but instead of stabbing the dummy, he lunged and stabbed the scientist instead.
He smiled as a pair of guards, the same two from before walked into the room, pistols drawn.

__________________________________________

Charles put the stuff in the back and slid into the passenger seat.
"So where we going?" he asked

[Srgntcuddles]

Rio glared over at Charles as he got into the passenger seat. She quickly pulled her sunglasses from her shirt, flipped them open smacking Charles in the head again and put them on.

"You have to earn front seat privileges, rookie."


Reno sat on his bed with his eyes closed, concentrating. He was listening to the guard's radio as it was transmitted through both radio and Reno's ear. There was another disturbance, one of the subjects just killed a scientist and is at gunpoint. The rookie guard wanted some action so he ran off to join the others. Once there the guard's radio jiggled a little, a lens formed on it. Reno opened was now looking through that lens using it as a camera to see what was going on. Vinny was facing off against now three guards. Reno didn't want to harm  anyone but he didn't want to let Vinny get hurt either. Soon the radio shook a lot, attracting it's wearer's attention. He smacked the radio off of his shoulder and it quickly morphed into a little robot with sharp spikes for hands. The guards changed their attention to the bot as it jumped onto the rookie guard's leg and started to shank him, dropping him to the floor.

[Gabag]

Charles sighed as he rubbed his head and moved to the backseat. Such a strict new superior for his newest assignment. But it does beat being shot down over enemy territory or being wasted by a SAAM.



________________________________________________

Vinnie and the guards were thoroughly confused at the radio now sparking to life and now shanking.  The penguin surmised it as someone indirectly helping him, and changed his hands to pipe wrenches and smashed the other two guards in their faces, painting the once bleached room, a new shade of red. The door was locked but not a problem, for Vinnie changed his arms to a huge sledge hammer and begin to bash it open with repeated smacks.

[Srgntcuddles]

The robot stopped shanking the guard and crawled along the ground and looked at Vinny smashing the door. Reno was still able to see and hear everything going on. Thankfully he didn't kill the guards and wasn't hurt himself. But the rookie guard was still conscious, though in pain. He grabbed his gun, cocked it and shakily pointed it at Vinny. As he was pulling the trigger Reno made the bot lung at the gun and stick it's arm down the barrel. The gun went off, jammed and fell from the guards hand with the force.


Rio chuckled at Charles' dismay and started the jeep.

"Going to do a few things. You get to tag along, rookie."

She put it in gear and drove off out of the parking lot. After some driving along the tarmac a caravan of black SUVs cut her off. There was four of them as they drove off towards a distant building. Rio swore under her breath and went went back to driving until she pulled up to the barracks. She parked, turned the jeep off and hopped out.

"C'mon, rookie."

She walked inside and headed towards a bunkbed in the center of the room on the wall. There were several other bunks along with many other soldiers. Three of them in particular were particularly interested in her. They were the three from the beach. Rio snickered as she passed them as the stood next to their bald friend's bunk with him lying in it. She reached her bed, kicked open a trunk at the foot of it and reached inside.

[x]

Moonchild felt a feeling like a lingering spider crawl up her back, tickling as it went, and her fur bristled. She blinked. There was...something like a familiar smell in the air, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was...

She folded her hands in her lap. She drew in a deeper smell of whatever it was. It became more familiar the more she was exposed. "Mr. Colonel...."

"What?" For several minutes now, he had been shuffling with intent through the papers on his desk, and, now, as he turned back to her, she could clearly see an image scrawled across one of those pages he held. A unicorn. Only, not like the unicorns she had been drawing. This one had about him an air of ferocity, drawn in thick black ink, given an unholy expression---his mouth contorted into a scowl of hate...he stood on the edge of a dark cliff, a sea roiling below....why did he have a picture of a unicorn? Weren't these military  people supposed to keep their feet on the ground, their heads far below the clouds?

Before she could get anything more out of looking at it, he hid the large bristol board under some manilla folders.

"Back." Moon said. She fidgeted...The curiosity at what she had seen could wait, though doing so was going to be difficult..."Back."

"You don't want to go back home already, do you?" The Corporal smiled while he slid some files across the glass desktop. He did not look at her. "You go back, and you'll just have to do more testing. And we both know that's no fun. Besides, we just barely started talking to each other about---"

She cut him off. "Back."

Then the smile was gone. Then he did look at her. This was short lived, however. Promptly an automated beeping caught his attention, staccato, cutting through the dim silence. Ellina was rampant, possibly above ground now, possibly... Moon had to be kept away from her at all costs. Expression grim, the Corporal darted to her and heaved her to her feet by her arm, and started yanking her towards the door. He had already signaled for guards to assist him, which would be arriving in thirty seconds, no more or their job would be on the line.

Now Moon knew what that smell had been. Being yanked away, tripping over her huge tail as she went, she felt glad knowing Ellina had gotten out....

Anna resurfaced from the cold but not frigid water with her hair plastered to her face, now a darker brown than before. She did not like it in the water. So, after being splashed by a certain cousin jumping into the water behind her, and shouting "What now, fool?" over her shoulder to him in regards to his doubts she'd ever jump, she swam to the shore...promptly coming across a draconian in a slightly ridiculous but clearly formal helmet. Raising her eyebrows at him, she said: "Well, you look new."

______________________

LOCKDOWN has been declared across the entire Violet Lake base due to the numerous underground security fallacies and disturbances. All non-PTA soldiers and new recruits have been directed via radio to return to their temporary housings immediately, and also to keep their guard about them, for a "serious security breach" has taken place and LOCKDOWN must ensue. Clearly, the situation can't be taken care of properly with those not in the loop looking on. 

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Ellina saw the man suddenly get out of his seat when the alarm finally reached the room. The grate of the air-conditioning gave way to her form as she literally spilled out of the air duct, swirled into a single tentacle, and wrapped her one appendange around the man's neck. As she felt his consiousness slip away, she 'cut' open his jugular vein as half of her body forced itself into the man's bloodstream. The other half went back up into the vent and divided off in several directions to create a distraction as she slowly remade her body while being covered under the corpral's clothing as her cells went to work of not only extracting information, but imitating the person himself. The 'Corpral' then lessened his grip on Moon, but was still putting up the act of trying to force her out of the room.


Yurian tried to skid to a stop, but ended up falling into the shore that the girl was just leaving. He lifted his head out of the water, not bothering to wipe off the droplets on his 'visor'. "Yurian... uh, do I need to close my eyes, or are you wearing clothes?"

[x]

When he lessened his grip, the girl stopped. Moon planted her feet down obstinately and refused (as much as she could) to go any further, wondering what was going on around her...it was all too fast. "Ellie? Ellieee..." Moon called weakly. Ellie was what sufficed when the child could not properly say "Elli-na" without getting tounge tied. She knew Ellina was there. But she didn't know where.

___________

Anna heard the call and squinted. She sure hoped he was wearing clothes. Even if he wasn't, the Yurian's situation was far too hilarious for her not to get out a few heaving chuckles..."What an idiot..." she said under her breath. She was curious as to what his eyes looked like, behind that visor. Then a girl in a bikini...dang were there too many of those around there...ran up to her, breathless.

"We have to leave," she announced. "There's a lockdown."

"Holy Jesus," Anna turned away from the dragon who randomly dropped in on her and to the girl, then back again. "What the hell is this, a state penitentiary?"

"Procedure."

"Whatever." She motioned to the dragon who'd fell in the water behind her. "Hey, helmet-boy. We have to go back to our rooms...would you like to ride back with us?" She had no idea where Yurian had come from or why he'd fell in behind her or what he wanted, but there had to be a reason and she needed to find out.

[KittKat chunky~]

"If you could just sign here... and here.... here... and of course down here....." Kitt obliged, scrawling his signature repeatedly in each proffered spot.... the forms and paperwork just seemed to keep coming....
"Well... that all seems to be in order Mr.Szvarda.... of course officially you are still a part of the Slovakian Military, and we will have to run a few... test... before taking you on as a pilot.... until then consider yourself an honorary member of our flying squadrons..."
Kitt frowned, but shrugged... "Whatever..... and my chopper?"

The corporal stopped collecting up the forms, and shrugged as well... "You can keep it.... Its good to have another helicopter at the base... especially a Hind... in fact, there is someone who wants to talk to you about that. We may need your flying skills earlier than expected Mr.Szvarda..."

It was then that the Claxon sounded: "Lockdown... Lockdown"

Kitt looked at the corporal... he frowned... "You'd better come with me..."

In her cell, Jesse sighed... she turned to the next page and continued to read.... it was slow going, but she felt accomplishment each time she reached the end of a chapter.... A loud nock on her door, was followed by the scientist, and several armed guards walking in...
"Subject #A666... could you come with us... we have a special test for you today..." The scientists smile was the thing that made Jesse's tail shiver... normal people didnt smile like a vulture swooping down for it's meal....

[Entaru]

Nero sighed as the call for a lockdown came through.  So much for that good day...

___________________________________

As the beeping of the alarm continued, Entaru became more and more frantic.  Slamming himself into the walls in fear, he screamed at the noise.  It frightened him...the monotonous, shrill, beeping...it hurt his head.

A guard ran by his room, screaming as a massive claw manifested out of the wall and swiped at him.  His superior radioed in to the security room as the claw tossed his man into a wall.  "Someone turn off that god **** alarm before X-98 starts getting out of hand!  We don't want more of these freaks on the loose!"
