*** Planet Nirn, Akavir, En route to the expedition base ***


"Aah, I see!" Responded the ram astonished at the large warrior's response, before turning to Andru and nodding, while holding up his plasma rifle against his shoulder, while walking besides the human towards their intended destination. "I'm all good, thanks! Just a bit shaking from that near death experience from earlier. Thanks for saving my life earlier by the way. I owe you one." Replied the ram in a thankful tone. "Also, yeah how far would the expedition base be from here? I have a bad feeling that whatever those creatures from earlier were, have probably taken residence there as well..." Polaris spoke with a hint of concern in his tone.

"With you... if you don't mind...", she said shyly.

*** Unburnt plains, Dragon realm, cave ***

Raz hadn't noticed the beam as he continued to whine, suffering from an uncomfortable fever.

*** Geidi IV, UT Battle Arena ***

The bolt went through Malachai's chin and head and his grasp faultered completely, letting go and thudding to the ground, Rochell got up and coughed a bit before getting up, her hand and body cold as she grabbed Keesha and urged her to get up.   Rochell's strength was quickly fading as her whole body began to shake.

Malachai began to emit a blistering heat as his core came deathly close to exploding.

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Unburnt plains, Dragon realm, cave ***

Anna felt Raz's discomfort, and then noticed he had another fever.

Fortunately, she packed medical supplies for this, dispensing a pair of tablets and tried to feed them to Raz. "This'll help you feel better, sweetie," she said softly to the little one.

*** Geidi IV, UT Battle Arena ***

Keesha got up quickly, using the Force to quickly mend her damaged leg, then grabbed for Rochell in an effort to heft her over her shoulder and use the Force to dash away to safe distance.

*** Planet Nirn, Akavir, En route to the expedition base ***

"If we're lucky, they'll have used up most of their manpower in that banzai charge," Andru said.

"Yeah, so don't jinx us!" Inorra growled half-humorously, half-seriously. She shot a playful, but still serious glance at her husband, then Polaris. "... Either of you!"

The hologram troops merely kept silent, focusing on the mission at hand.

*** Outer Space ***

The Klingon task force formed up around Anna's ship, and waited for her to jump, then they would follow.

*** Mongdrigo Surface, the Glass Forest ***

The Sangheili did not need the masks, as their armor already covered their faces. That, and there was no way the masks that were being handed out would fit a Sangheili's face.

Huki looked to the Operator. "Those forces attacking the Loyalists are Sith, and I do not know what they're here for. But I do admit, their attack is fortuitous; while they're busy with them, we can evacuate your people to a much more... stable, environment. Unless you are bent on liberating this place - though I cannot imagine why - in which case, we'll be happy to aid you." It was as Huki said this that a massive, heavily-retrofitted Scarab Assault Platform was seen approaching them from behind Huki, the hull having been recently-refitted to operate in this new environment.

The Operator's comm equipment would beep with an incoming heavily-encrypted transmission, but no indication as to who was calling.

*** Mongdrigo Surface, Gorbis Mongdrigo ***

The Sith continued to push their way deeper into the city. Strangely, as much as they tried to leave no survivors in their wake, they left civilians alone, and insisted on using retrofitted All-Terrain Scout Transports, Modded All-Terrain Personal Transports, and M1 Repulsor Tanks supported by T4B Tanks for vehicular support. It was as if they intended to capture the city intact.

*** UACS Iron Regent, bridge ***

"No idea, but don't worry - we'll be back in time for it," Markus assured Krystal. He issued an order to the Helmsman - "Helm, set course for the meeting coordinates, engage Transwarp Drive." - before asking Krystal, "What did you have planned for them, exactly?"

*** New Cerinia, Krystal's mansion ***

Saraabi's frown deepened. "N-no, my father is Markus Tokarev," she told Kari. "I can't say I know much about Fox - mom never talks about him, but from what I hear from dad, I can see why." She sighed, then said, "You'd best stick around - dad can explain it better than I."

*** Unspecified Location on the Outskirts of Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Roc stepped outside and asked Alex, "We taking your ship?"


*** Dragon'taan Bank, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"As I understand it, they need a financial backer for an expansion of their operations, and help with a supposed security issue - something about a clandestine bunch somewhere in the mine, but no one has ever found anything," the teller explained. She frowned, as though remembering something. "In fact, there was a contract the place put out for someone to remedy the issue. Bounty would be handled by the Dragon'taan Marauder Corps - 500k for resolving the issue, and 500k, maybe 650k additional if the interested party find out what exactly was going on. If you're interested, hit up the mercenary enclave on your way out; my husband, Jac, works there. Talk to him for further details, and tell him his wife sent you."

*** Cairo, Earth ***

The marine lead Michen to a room that looked very cozy. She opened the door and looked to Michen. "The management will see to your needs. Rest up, friend."

*** Coruscant, Market sector ***

The ship would not be difficult to spot, but it would be difficult to track - it kept relocating from one empty pad to another.

And still, that blonde-haired woman kept wandering the area.

Draco's shuttle landed in one of the empty pads, and Draco was the first one off. "Talk to me, team," he requested over the team's coded channel. "What are we looking at?"

(Anyone seen Blaine? He hasn't posted in a while.)

[Shoon]

---Coruscant, Market sector---
Shoon shot a message back as he was landing "I spotted a couple candidates for the ship on our way here. I've seen a ship on line A that just disappeared in front of my eyes".

[Rayleonarde]

*Mongdrigo Surface, Rebel Camp*
The operator shrugged. "You'll have to talk to Kaio Morgan about that."
Garrus flinched at the name but said nothing.


Someone ran to the operator, dragging him back to the console.


As the operator left, Garrus spoke in hushed tones. "Kaio cannot be allowed to become the next Leader. Life will not improve here. In fact, things will get worse."


*Mongdrigo, Gorbis streets*
The Sith, as they pushed the loyalists closer to the tower, would find a few of the loyalists surrendering. The surrendering soldiers even offered their knowledge and weapons, as they realized the Sith were not looking to destroy the city. 
However, the tiberium-laden troops were zealous, fighting even as they lay broken. Most of the mechs had been disabled, due to years of poor maintenance and pitiful defenses.

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** Planet Nirn, Akavir, En route to the expedition base ***

The mechs and large warrior followed the group, ever vigilant, in case there was more waiting on the horizon.


--- UACS Iron Regent, bridge ---

"Why do you need to know?" Krystal asked


--- Unspecified Location on the Outskirts of Draco City, Dragon'taan  ---

"What do you mean we?" Alex asked "Why do you need me anyway?" Alex asked, just curious why this dragon was following her.


---  Unburnt plains, Dragon realm, cave ---
 Spyra's purple energy hit something on the wall and various symbols all connected began to glow with the purple energy a door opening to a secret base. though the base as empty and oddly advanced for the location, someone was in the base, but who.

[Razuel]

*** Unburnt plains, Dragon realm, cave ***

Raz groaned as he pushed her hand, that has the pill, away from his mouth, refusing to take it, whining at her in protest. So much that he didn't notice the hidden door open.

*** Geidi IV, UT Battle Arena ***

In a violent explosion, Malachai was obliterated by his nuclear power core. It had blown a hole in the wall, revealing a cargo corridor.    The sounds of distant audience members roar through the air above, in celebration of the intense fight.

Rochell was getting worse and worse by the minute.  Where her mechanical arm was, it had stopped bleeding heavily, but still constantly dripped.  Her body was frigid as she struggled to keep her eyes open. "Can... Can I lie down?... I'm so... tired...", she asked Keesha

***Tigress Armory, Dragon'taan***

Felicity continued to follow to her where she'd sleep, still quite shy, to where she wouldn't give a clear answer of why she wanted to sleep with Amps.

Fawn still wandered out and around the armory store-front, waiting by a counter for his suit pick-up.

[Blaiiine]

((Sorry guys, been dealing with some life issues.))


** Coruscant, Market District **


"Got eyes on," Blaine replied, now in a plain UNSC uniform. Leaving his armor on the shuttle, he was blending into the crowd as he moved towards the blonde haired woman. "Should I continue stalking or make my move?" He asked.


Kozik was on overwatch, keeping eyes on the target as well.

[Romulan_Furry]

(It's alright, Blaine - Real Life must take precedence. None of us will hold it against you, least of all me.)

*** Old Galactic Market District, Coruscant ***

"Follow and attempt contact - try and get her to me; I'll be approaching from the north," Draco advised.

At the same time as Kozik spotted the blonde-haired lady, his scope might register a pair of hooded, black-clad men approaching her from the opposite direction.

*** Unburnt plains, Dragon realm, cave ***

"Take it, and like it, kiddo," Anna grumbled. "I am not having you in another fever." She tried to get the pill in his mouth, where it would immediately dissolve, and bring relief to the symptoms.

*** Geidi IV, UT Battle Arena ***

"Hell no," Keesha said. "You go to sleep, you won't wake up, and there's much more for us to do yet!" She used the Force to attempt to stabilize Rochell's condition, and at the same time, get her adrenaline going to keep her awake.

*** Mongdrigo Surface, Rebel Camp ***

Huki leaned closer to Garrus. "Somehow, I don't think that's going to be a problem," he told him.

If the Operator answered the call, he would find himself staring at the face of Darth Malgus. "Rebel camp, this is Darth Malgus. Call off your Sangheili friends and evacuate your civilian personnel; I am calling a truce. I have no desire to fight any of you; the forces of your Great Leader are my only concern today. They have something I want - a Bastion, a base of operations. Advise your Sangheili friends I have no desire to war with them - and if I wanted to harm them, I would have let that Tiberium Missile impact their home world."

*** City Streets, Gorbis Mongdrigo ***

The Sith troops took in what soldiers surrendered, and contrary to what would have been expected of Sith troops, they treated the prisoners as people, even though POWs. There were no harsh treatments, no lashing, beating, or any kind of random cruelty - the surrendering troops were escorted to a building where other POWs were being held and politely ordered to stay there until this conflict had subsided.

Those that did not surrender, that continued to fight to whatever bitter end, however, found that even though these Sith soldiers seemed "softer" than your typical Sith, their military prowess was no less efficient and devastating. They continued to advance through the streets, fighting door to door where necessary, clearing out buildings and raining lasers, rockets and grenades on the loyalist troops, being careful not to cause too much damage to the city itself.

*** UACS Iron Regent, bridge ***

"Maybe because I'm their father--" Markus stopped midsentence and shuddered, sensing a disturbance in the Force, one that felt of a warrior, once encased in the Dark Side, now walking another path.

The Iron Regent went to Transwarp as he sensed it.

*** Unspecified Location on the Outskirts of Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"I was instructed to aid you in some task - and in return, you would aid me," Roc said. "Your CO said you would need assistance on your assignment. Something about a corrupt politician...?"

[Razuel]

*** Unburnt plains, Dragon realm, cave ***

Raz tried to keep his mouth closed, but was unable to, and the pill popped in.  It tasted like iron-rubbed plastic as it dissolved in his mouth.   When he swallowed the fuzz created, Raz hung his head over her arm, his mouth open and tongue hanging out, with an expression of betrayal and what was that. In retaliation, he poked Anna's chest with his horn as he grew drowsy.

*** Geidi IV, UT Battle Arena ***

"But th-", as her adrenaline went quicker, she felt the sharp pangs of pains and wailed loudly, "Ahhhhh! It Hurts!", her hand hanging over Keesha's back clutched her shirt tightly, causing a permanent crease.

[Romulan_Furry]

*** UT Battle Arena, Geidi IV ***

"If you can feel it, you're not dead," Keesha said. She handed  Rochell a pair of black capsules. "Nanites. They'll repair your insides; I'll get you a new arm once we get home." She started for the hole in the wall, trying to take Rochell along with her.

*** Unburnt plains, Dragon realm, cave ***

Anna gently kissed Raz's head, shushing and holding him close. It was then that she noticed the doorway. "Care to explain?" she asked Cynder and Spyra.

*** Starship Chimera, Geidi IV Orbit ***

Vasily was jolted awake when Gemini came over the comm. "Captain, you awake?"

"This... better be good," Vasily grumbled.

"Sorry, sir, but sensors picked up an explosion down planetside; think we better get out of here before we get blamed for it," Gemini said.

Vasily sighed, then responded, "Very well - engage the cloaking device and move us away from orbit. Vasily out." he gestured to the comm panel, and switched off the comms. He wrapped his arms around Gypsie again and went back to sleep.

[Blaiiine]

** Old Galactic Market District, Coruscant **


"Blaine, got contact ahead of the target. Some bad dudes heading for her," Kozik radioed in, keeping the hooded figures in his scope view.


"Roger that, going in." Blaine whispered into his neck-wrapped mic. He sped up his pace, pushing through the crowd.


Arriving next to the woman, he grasped her arm lightly to catch her attention. "You've got friends with bad intentions coming your way," He whispered, pointing to the figures. "Come with me if you want to live," Blaine added.


That line would've made Arnie proud, he thought to himself.

[Rayleonarde]

*Mongdrigo Surface, Rebel Camp*
The operator's brow furrowed. Though the offer sounded good, it wasn't his call to make. So he instead forwarded the message to Kaio Morgan, the rebel leader.


In his lean-to, the biggest at the camp, Kaio cleaned his rifle. As the message from Malgus came through, the raccoon huffed through his nose, and set out to the forward positions. He stood much, much larger than the rest of his compatriots. Across his face, Kaio sported a glowing green scar, a sign of tiberium infestation via a cut. His eyes glowed slightly, a descriptor of one who's DNA bonded with the tiberium. Kaio approached Huki, dwarfing the Sangheili. He spoke like a savage, his voice loud and gravelly. "So. De'h odders say dey don't wann' fight no more. Say deys gon' git ridda Great Leader. Say dey want 'bashy-on'." He stared daggers at Huki, as he leaned closer. "Says dey ain't gon' fight wit' m'boys. But yer's he'd war wit'. I needs deh city not hurt."


Garrus whispered into what he assumed was Huki's ear. "Tiberium infested him long ago, he just got bigger. And dumber."


*City Streets, nearing Tower perimeter*


At this point, all the loyalists had turned coats. They began sabotaging their own defenses in an attempt to appease who they assumed would be the new ruler. Once the Sith troops reached within two-hundred meters of the tower, the loyalist troops had already fled. Only Great Leader's chosen soldiers remained, but their morale was dropping. If pressured any more, they would abandon their posts, leaving Great Leader with his personal retainers.


*The Tower, Great Leader's quarters*
The lard-bucket ruler had locked himself in his room, a rifle pointed directly at the door. In clear view of the windows, the door was flanked by two of the armor-clad Black Hand soldiers Great Leader put so much faith in. Cybernetically enhanced, tiberium infused, and nearly brain-dead, the Black Hand guard the top five floors of the tower. Without fear, or ideas of self-preservation, they relentlessly attack their foes until they're either dead or disabled.

Stepping inside with a yawn, the first thing they noticed was how soft the floor of the room was. They had actually never been inside a real hotel room before. Carefully they walked further in the room, trying to discover where everything was and touching things like they were made out of glass. Looking to the floor, they could just fall asleep like that if they wanted to. It was a strange feeling for the snow leopard. They felt so tired, yet it seemed like they slept for centuries. Maybe they did, being in 2570 and all. Then they remembered about the officer. They turned back to the door, looking at her chest. "Thank you," the snow leopard said. Their voice was quiet, but still clearly hearable.

[Alessia Starfurr]

--- Unburnt plains ,Dragon Realm ---

"Some caves in the dragon realm have chambers in them that can only be opened by dragon energy, IF Raz knew how to access his or maybe you your own, it could have opened it, this particular chamber holds a hidden base." Spyra explained.


--- Iron Regent ---

"What is it?"Krystal asked noticing something about Markus change.

Amps laid down in one of the beds in her room waiting for Felicity to come in before she dimmed the lights.
