Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 2

(Rain)

=I find the training grounds again and continue punching a dummy=


(Dante)

(He had found the child. A little boy)
(He had led him to his mother)

M-Carson! Why did you run off!

C-Sorry mom...I wanted to go have fun...

M-You know the rules. Go. (she points off and he leaves)

M-Thank you, Spartan

Dante-Please. Call me Dante.

(She nods and heads off)
(He sighs. Remembering his own encounter with that situation)
(He walks off to the messhall, stomach rumbling)

(Laura)

=She smiles slightly.=

I doubt guys look straight at the umbrella...

(Dante)

(He enters the messhall)
(Looking around at the people)

(He heads off to the counter. Grabbing a bowl with some salad)
(He puts some shredded cheese and a little bit of ranch dressing on it)

Hmm

(He heads off to a table)
(Nodding to Talfie and Laura as he goes)

(Jason)

=I went back to my ship for a quick nap. Maybe it was stress, but I was tired. That said, the "nap" turned into a moderately long sleep. i woke up a few hours later, and Miri was standing over me=

@ Jason-So, enjoy your coma Jason?

=I chuckled a little=

Wow, I must have been more tired than I thought.

*giggle*, i like to see how long it takes them to notice i see them staring at me...

= i fill my tray and bounce over to a table and sit=

=Delta (Zero) Emerges from surgery, with the new upgrades to his XNNO body functioning perfectly. He goes to the armory, where he picks up his rifle and shotgun, as well as his sidearm and breathing tanks. He meets the main armorer there, where he gives Delta his armor back, with the upgrades designed by Xazhi. He gives him his Shotgun to make upgrades to, and takes Xazhi's ELS and EK in its place. He puts on his jet black and maroon armor, newly painted and polished, and links with it. He heads to the Hanger and cathes a transport over to the Trophaeum=




(Xazhi)

=He lies there in a state of half-death as the doctors work to save him. Silaev walks into the medbay after hearing the news. He stays on one side of the room and watches, waiting for either his survival or death. He prays for him=

Sil- We are the RSS, and our leader is Xazhi-1210. I will find a way...

(Dante)

(He sees her skip pass him)
(He goes to the table she is sitting at and sits down)

Mind if I sit here.

(He sits down and begins a small prayer to himself)

=hops on the transport=


meeting was very interesting

=She grabs an apple, and sits down next to Talfie.=

So, how long does it usually take for them to notice?

Indeed. So it seems we knew eachother this whole time.

=He smiles under his helmet=

Wait till Dormii finds out. I bet he'll get a laugh or two.

(Dante)

(He finishes the prayer and begins eating)
(Silently listening to the two)

bout' a minute or so... why do you get any guys starin' at ya?

=He chuckles=

Well, that's not to say we can't try.

=He chuckles again=

=She shrugs.=

If they do, I don't notice.

=laughs=


we have twice under your command once under his i'm thinking our ships don't want to fight but enough with that what's your next plan once you all leave

(Dante)

(He takes the dogtags into his hands and looks at them)
(He sighs)

(Kissing them he then returns to eating)
(He swallows)
(To Talfie and Laura)

How are you both.

=They arrive in the trophaeum's hanger=

Fight. It's what i was built for, and my ancestors before me. My entire species was literally created for the function of battle. It is all we know.

=He steps out of the transport and into the hanger=

Your ship is much brighter on the inside than mine...

well, do you have something for them to stare at?




i'm doing good.

(Jason)

=I got out of bed, and decided to take a shower. To be honest, I'd be back in the shower later, considering what I'd be doing in a few minutes. I got out, dried off, and put on some training clothes: t-shirt and shorts. Miranda was sitting at the table, and she raised an eyebrow at me=

What? I'm going to see if these guys have a gym here.

=She just rolled her eyes and looked away=

Do you want to come with me?

=She turned back to face me, and grinned a little=

@ Jason- Oh no I'm good. Go ahead, enjoy punching targets.

(Dante)

(He nods)

That is good.

(He returns to eating)

(Laura)

=She shrugs.=

@Talife: I don't know.

(Jason)

=I placed a hand over my heart, and had a pained expression on my face=

Miri, I'm hurt. The fact that you think all I do is punch targets? You must think so little of me.

=She was silent for a moment, then i heard the sound of restrained laughter, and I could see the look on her face. A second later, she burst out laughing=

@ Jason- Keep up that horrible acting Jason, and I will think less of you.

=i put my hand on her head and push it down so shes looking down at herself=

well, does it look like you do?

Well then, Ill do my best to behave.

=He chuckles as he walks towards the messhall=

I feel like i havent eaten in ages. You?

you read my mind

=they head to the messhall=

(Laura)

I guess I do...

(Dormii)
=i walk in to the messhall a few spots of blood on my clothes. i notice Talfie messing with Laura and Draco sitting with them. i go grab some food and go sit down with them=
Heya. Talfie, quit picking on Laura.

*sigh*... c'mon! be more certain about yourself! do you, or do you not, have something for people to stare at!?

=i grab her shoulders and shake some confidence into her=


hush dormii, this is a conversation between us girls

[(Laura)

i]...[/i]

I do have something for people to stare at!

Did I just... Shout that?

(Jason)

=I walked off the ship, and tried to see if I could find a gym, or a workout room. I was starting to get rusty in my hand to hand combat, and needed some practice=

Geez, would it kill them to make a map of this place?

(Dormii)
=i take a bite=
'Bout time you realized it.

=sees jason=


hey looking for something?

(Jason)

=I turned around, and saw Zeru=

Oh, I'm just trying to find a gym, if you guys have one.

=i give her a big hug=

that's the spirit!

uh yeah

=hands him a map=


every thing u need to find execpt critical areas is on that map

(Jason)

=I take the map from zeru=

Thanks a lot. I was starting to get lost there.

=I turned to leave, but stopped halfway=

By the way, I was told you could help me with some refits?

(Laura)

I really just shouted that...

=She blushes, slightly.=

(Dormii)
Hey, what are you blushing about?

(Jason)

=I grin and walk away=

Maybe later. I still need to practice at the gym.

=I start following the map=

(Dante)

(He finishes the salad and pushes the bowl aside)
(He begins thinking)

Hmm

(Staring off)

=Delta arrives in the messhall and sees Dormi and Draco, as well as two other girls he hadnt seen before. He gets a tray and some food, and remembers something. XNNO digestive systems are meant to transfer food into muscle and bone strength and mass, not energy. He shrugs and sits down with a tray of food a few seats away from Dormii=

hey, there's nothing wrong with shouting... oh, did you know there's a pool here?

(Dormii)
=i notice that I'm not being noticed so I keep quiet and eat=

(Laura)

@Dormii: Blushing? I'm not blushing.

=She starts blushing even more.=

@Talfie: There's a pool?

(Jason)

=A few minutes later, I found the gym. It was a big place. That said, the only thing i was looking for, was a sparring area. I found it: boxing bags, dummies, even a large, mat on the floor for sparring. I decided to start on the bags. I unleashed a flurry of blows on it, sending it flying backwards=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle and reach over, putting my hand on her shoulder=
Hey, it's okay. I'm glad you finally acknowledge what you have.

=i smile and lean back, taking another bite=

(Dante)

(He snaps out of it and blinks)

Hmm

(He brings his armlet up and begins tinkering with it)
