Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2

=I look at Zeru=

Me: You are suppose to alternate in color when you are playing Solitaire.

Me: Awww come on, my buddy here wouldn't hut you!

=I lightly punch the side of the Spartan's armour=

=while sitting there he is trying different frequencies using his spartan neural implant=

=Jay stirs, waking up. i take my helmet off and set her down against the wall= Hey, you awake yet?

I groan slightly

My head feels like it's being pounded with a massive wooden lg.

=I chuckle= And who's to say? Cmon, we got guests.

Ugh.

I glance around and see Ash and Draco and Marcus stood there

Well hey guys. Why the fuck are you here? Not that i mind of course, it's nice to see you.

I jump up and bounce over to Ash, hugging her as i do

Sorry, Jay, but there is no time.

Macgraw is here, with a sizable force, I imagine. He's might have taken the others. I'm going to go look for them. I just called in some pelicans and the Dream of Luck.

Care to come with me?

Wherever you go, i'll be by your side my love.

I smile at him

=tries talking to grace= ur lucky i'm restrained otherwise u'd be dead then again i could probably still kill at least one of u while like this

Me: Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. What is with the hostility?

=I toss Zeru a beer, hitting him in his chest, falling to the ground=

Me: Drink up.

i'm underage moron and besides can't u sense my killing intent

=i smile back= Glad to know. Not sure if even I can take on those many marines.

=to the others=one pelican will come here, the others will be spread out to random locations. Stay here.

=to Jay= Let's go.

=we head out to the resort=

Wait what, we aren't going towards them are we?

And hold on a minute, did you say Macgraw? He's dead. I killed him for gods sake.

Me: Well, you are arrested anyway. Might as well try one while you're young

=I chuckle a bit=

=to Jay=That's kinda what I said. But they say otherwise, and I find that they don't lie.

And how else did you think I would attack?

You are not attacking. That's just insane, do you want to get killed? Do you want to lose everything you've worked to gain? What about us. There's no way im letting you go in there alone.

=starts to play solitare while in reality he's getting a feel of his surroundings and getting ready to make his move=

=I kneel down by Zeru=

Me: You want to play Gin Rummy or somthing?

Well I need to get closer to target for the Dream of Luck.

=I grab her hand in mine= And of course I don't want to lose you. Or die. But I don't want to lose people when I could've saved them either.

=to anog= [u]u ever play spade rush[u] =secretly telling him to get ready since i'm about to make my move=

This is just stupid though. There's got to be another way.

=I hint Zeru's talk=

Me: Sure, we can play that.. But you are going to have to show me how.

I am fully open to suggestions, I just can't think of anything better.

=the pelicans arrive, and the Dream of Luck flies over= Ok, we're good.

=he starts to explain and gets done a few mins later= and when u play this card u yell RUSH =he grabs anog's wrist's swings him around where anog's feet make contact with the guards stunning them allowing time for him and anog escape to the tunnel he disovered awhile back sealing the entrance off=

Well for one, we could easily just leave for now and come back for Zeru and Snow another time. They are resourceful. They'll make it out of there. Leave an encrypted message for them and a pelican.

=tries using his comm to get in touch with dormi and the others= can anyone hear me it's zeru please respond

=I slow down and stop= Aww, you take all the fun away.

=I smile= You always know what to do.

Me: Well, thanks for that circus ride..

=I hold my head and remember=

Me: They still have Syaa in the hotel!

=i laugh= u sure she was in the same room as us yet u didn't see her leave she's up ahead getting ready

=tries again= domri can u hear me please respond

Me: Last I checked, she was in the VIP room.. but you could be right

=I try my comm=

Me: Is anyone out there, please respond!

How did you survive without me? Oh wait...

I grin back at him

Come on, we need to get out of here.

=I kiss her= Let's. First.

=I put my helmet on and transmit, altering the coordinates through their comms= Zeru, Snow, Syaa: I left you a ride, but the rest of us have to leave if we want to survive. I'm sorry, but we have to. You know where it will be, just go to the cliff.

Stay safe, we will come get you.

Dies ducente non dividendae.
Dormii, out.

Me: I repeat, is there anybody out there.

=I hear nothing, I punch the wall=

Me: FUCK!

I grab Dormii, Ash and Draco and begin to run to the nearest pelican

Come on Marcus!!

Me: What ever you say..

=I jump into the pelican with Syaa=

Me: You want to wait for Zeru?

=I grab Marcus and throw him into the pelican. I jump into the Dream of luck and follow into orbit=

I close the Pelican hatch and run to the pilots seat. I initiate the flight controls and head towards the Tropheaum.

Hold on. May get a little rough.

syaa: no we're leaving

me: =i ambush the spartan squad disableing the two of them before dukeing it out with grace mocking her attempts to hit me while inflicting blow after blow to her left leg=

Me: What ever you say, lets get out of dodge.

=i comm over= I'm behind you all the way.

=I do a victory roll as I go by= As long as you don't need my left arm for a while, dislocated it.

You need to stop breaking my splints mister. I'm seriously going to reinforce the next one so much you wont be able to move it for a week.

=I comm the other pelican=

Me: Identify yourself or I will destroy you!

Hey Snow. Hows things kiddo? I see you got our message then?

Me: Oh.. hey guys, lets get out of here, I have Syaa here.. Zeru is still back on the beaches.

=I hit up the throttle a bit.=

Sure, meet us in the Tropheaum hanger bay #21.

I reroute the signal back to Dormii and repeat the message

Not my fault! It was the cliff! Some rocks moved and my arm fell in a little notch. Totally not my fault!

=I get the message and go pick Zeru up= Cmon! Were leaving!
