Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens"

(Dormii)
=i growl and shake my head. i look at Delta=
You. Are. Dead.

=Delta puts his hands up in mock surrender as he chuckles=

Del- And now im no different than them. They will pay for their crimes. And so will I.

=Xazhi looks up at Dormii, with a peice of paper in his hand. He holds it out=

Xaz- Dormii..... give this.... to my son......

=His color fades. His eyes glaze over. He falls into the silence and cold of death=

(Dormii)
=i bend down and take the paper, nodding. i put it away and level my rifle at Delta=
Any last words?

=He stands there=
=Hydra in his right hand. Aiming down=
=His blade activated, silent=

Del- Maybe...

=He stays silent for a moment=

Del- Think fast.

=He fires a huge VES Burts at the three, firing them back, and Himself back up the hall=

now what?

=He gets in front of them both=
=Activating the bubble shield modification=

Not that easy.

(Dormii)
=i poke my rifle through the shield and start shooting=

(Lana)
I don't know. There isn't much we can do to help.

*sigh*... yeah.

=The kid stays silent on his knees. He takes Xazhi's ELS, and stands. He walks down the hall and activates it. It drags slightly behind him, making sparks. An XNNO comes out of a corridor. Without looking, the kid Decapitates him. He continues on=

=The bubble shield collapses=
=He runs out to the kid=
=Checking the radar for any hostiles=

(Lana)
We could...I don't know. I want to help but at the same time I can't...

(Dormii)
=i start walking forward and keep shooting=
Kid! Be careful!

... hungry?

=Delta arrives on the Bridge=

Del- Prep the Ship! We're jumping NOW!

Crew- But sir, there is no way we can lose this fight!

Del- I said NOW!

=The ship fires up=

Crew- It will take some time before the ship is ready sir.

=The kid continues onward. Lori stays by Xazhi, crying softly=

(Dormii)
=i run after Delta, reloading the rifle. I get to the bridge just as the ship starts powering up. i unleash a banshee scream and run at him=

(Lana)
=i nod=
Yeah...

=He arrives at the bridge=
=He runs behind Dormii=

He will not get away.
He must atone for his sins.

c'mon, let's go...

(Lana)
=i nod and follow him=
What are you going to get?

=The kid starts walking faster, eventually going into a full run. The door to the Bridge of the Comet opens, and before Delta can fully turn, the kid rushes in=

Kid- YOU!!!

Del- Wha-

=The kid slices off Delta's leg=

Del- AAAH!! FUCK!!!

=The scream can be heard from far down the hall=

not pizza

(Lana)
Why not pizza? You love pizza.

(Dormii)
=i stop and point my weapon at the crew, seeing the kid attacking Delta=
Shut down the ship! Now!

=He stops next to Dormii=

You all.
Will burn.

=He motions to Dormii=

Do as he says.
Shut down this ship.

=The crewman ignors the Spartan=

Crew- Jumping, Delta!

=The ship makes the jump to slipspace. The other 4 ships wonder what happened, and give chase. The crewman stands and faces the Spartans=

Crew- We're going home.

just not in the mood, that's all

(Dormii)
=i extend my right arm blade, keeping the smaller two closed=
Drop us out. Now.

=He stares them all down=

You all will not get away with this.
You do realize this.

Crew- That isnt possible. Once this ship enters Slipspace, it is impossible to come out untill we reach the destination.

=The Kid holds his ELS at Delta's neck=

Del- You should kill me... Do it, Kid. I dare ya. Each of these ships has thousands of prisoners onboard, and the guards have orders to shoot them if the ship is to fall... Do you want that blood on your hands?

=The kid raises the sword, as if about to bring it down on Delta=

(Dormii)
=i keep my external speakers active=
Bellum et Pax. Hack into this ship's computer system and start trying to shut down the ship's slipspace drive.

--Understood. Breaching main firewall now--

Kid! I would wait a few minutes before doing that.

=follows them=

Del- Exion! If that AI gets into your Systems, the ship is to Self-Destruct THAT INSTANT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?

=Exion's avatar pops up on the console=

[Exion] Yes, Sir. Prepping now.

(Dante)

Andrea. Help him.

*Understood*

=She goes into the ships system as well=

*This will be fun*

=She laughs, hearing Exion=

*A challenge. I like them*

=we walk into the mess hall=

what ware you in the mood for?

[Exion] I hope you realize the such little chance you have of getting through. But just i case you do.

=His avatar smiles=

[Ex] You die.

(Dormii)
--Um, dude. I'm already through your third firewall. And....self-destruct gone. Let's see...--

(Lana)
Really just food. What are you in the mood for?

not sure.

(Andrea)

*Hmm...*

=She sighs, annoyed=

*Darn...*

(Draco)

=He continues aiming=

(Lana)
Maybe just sit and enjoy each other?

sure...

=Exion's avatar smiles=

[Ex] The damage. Is done.

=Multiple explosions erupt from the belly of the ship=

(Dante)

=He feels the rocking of the ship=

Great. Going to die. Nowhere near her burial site

(Dormii)
Fuck you.

=The Comet exits slipspace outside the Obsidian Wolf. The ship goes into Full Lockdown to prevent the explosions from causing a chain-reaction. The move into the Wolf's Hanger with great haste. The hanger closes=

Kid- You... Delta.... You are going to die.... Right here, Right now...

(Dormii)
Pax? Delete him.

--Gladly--

-=Pax, the woman of the two in BeP's avatar, appears on the projecter, standing behind Exion. She then stabs Exion multiple times in the back, ending with a cut of his throat=-

--Done--

Get back in the armor.

--Done--

Kid. We have to go. He's dead already, leave him.

(Lana)
=i sit down at a table and hold my hand out for him=

=the troph exits outside the o's range=

=Delta smiles=

Del- Mage! Delete her?

[BLM] With pleasure.

=Black Mage hacks into BeP, and begins deleting files=

[BLM] Wow, theres quite a lot in here! I'd love to know how this Human AI came to be! ...Aaaaaand. Done.

Del- Thank you, Mage...

=Delta uses his arms to pick himself up and lean against the console=

Del- Well kid? You gonna do it?

(Andrea)

=She hacks into Mage=

*Shouldnt have done that* =She giggles=

=She begins wiping out the A.I.=
=Fortifying her own defenses=

=Mage giggles=

[BLM] My, how bold of you! Before i go, i would like you to have this. Consider it a gift.

=Mage implants a wipeout virus=

[Blm] Now we're even.

Kid- You.. Will pay!!!

=The kid slices off Delta's right arm=

Del- AGH!!! DAMN IT!!!

(Dormii)
Gods damn you.

=i start my own hack, but it's not as fast or as precise as BeP. i stop after a ways=
Know what? It's not going to matter. This ship is going to go off in a few and I'm gone by then. C'mon Draco. They want to kill themselves here, let them.

=i start running out of the bridge to the hanger=

(Andrea)

=She herself laughs=

*Idiot*

=Deleting the virus=
=Redirecting one of her own=

*I like this one*

(Draco)

=He runs off=

Idiots!

=The workers on the Obsidian Wolf approach the Comet. They come into the hanger to do their routine inspection and maintainace=

Work1- What the hell happened in here...?

=Delta chuckles=

Del- And i like this one.

=Delta presses a few buttons on the cosole. The ship's power goes out, releasing the EMP=

Del- I never thought.... That would ever save anything... Thank god for ship downsides...
