Chapter 4: Exodus

=to Delta= Yes. I made all of these.

=I start practicing with the knife-ring. I slice open an invisible enemy's throat five times in one swing, transfer it to my foot, and performing an uppercut like kick, eviscerating and throwing it into the air and catching it behind my back with a jingle of steel on steel=

=comm to Zeru= My armor would be amazing, if you have time. Frigate, my room, on the stand by the door.

=I spin the knife-ring on my hand before killing some imaginary enemies attacking from behind=

=launches the transport and head to the frigating grabbign domrii's armor and then heads to the trophaeum to collect somethign before heading back=

=Ash reaches a small clearing in the trees, the rain falls onto her armour she wipes he visor clean=
No traces nothing... Do you even want to be found..?

=She searches the ground for any traces of her=
Its untouched... She must of gone a different way

=She turns around and calls out Jay's name again=
Jay! You out there?!

=Her voice echoes though the Jungle=
I better keep moving... She could be anywhere by now...

=She walks off back into the trees=

*ahhhh* nice to be on solid gro-.........forgot armor got to get it back, crap!
=jumps back into ship hatch=
got to get back to armory, can't fight without armor
=slams head-first into wall=
agh!
=passes out=



~Stenzier's armor was a new prototype meant to replace the current standardized model. Still only in infant stages and not mass produced it has only had one official field test, (during the Azure Comets invasion) sadly during which a malfunction rendering him immobile.
-Earth Armor test report.

This is Sir Knight Emothic requesting an update on everyones status.

=Ash moves around the Jungle, the stormy winds hardy reach her inside the dense Jungle=
Have I gone this way...?

=She looks around panicked, lighting strikes in the distance=
No... I'm sure I haven't been this way...

=She continues walking, she shouts out to Jay again=
Jay!? Jay!? Are you out there!?

=She sighs and looks for cover Jay might have taken=

Well, thats quite a bit of skill you demonstrate with them.

=He hears Emothic's Comm=

This is X No Delta. I am heading back to the Azure Comet in Approx. 4 minutes.

(He turns comms back on)
(Andrea's voice rings)

*That Emothic person has requested an update on your current status*

Fine

(Comms)
@Emothic
This is Draco, I am currently on route back to the base with Snow.
I will be leaving after that drop-off again to look for Ash.

(He looks at Snow)
@Snow
Well you comin

=Voutan heads back aboard the Spirit. he finds Immer in the bridge=

Voutan- What is going on?

Immer- We've recieved a Comm from someone named "Emothic", requesting an update on our status.

Voutan- =Over comms= This is Voutan and Immer Reist. We are aboard the Solun Spirit. May i ask who this is?

=I decide to pull the body into the forest, trying to find the base=

Boy, I don't know what the hell you are, but you are heavy.

What are these...?

=She bends over at looks at some footprints in the ground=
Ha! I think I found you...

=She begins to follow the trail as thunder rumbles in the sky above her=
Jay! You out there?!

i wake up, something is not right...the lights, their back on
No! well, at least the lights are on, no more running into walls
i need to hurry!
=runs toward armory=

(He sees Snow drag the body off)
Okay then
Ignore me

(He hops back into the Warthog and drives off back to the base)

=To everyone=

Copy to those who have replied. It seems like several others are not responding, I'm sending out several search teams to scann the planet for them. At the rate of some of these wounded we can't stay here much longer. I'll give us about 6 hours before we will have to leave.

=to Voutan= I am Sir Knight Emothic Von Hellsing of Ze Hellsing Family. Introduction will have to wait later. There is to many wounded here and I don't have time to chat for some will die if we don't leave soon.

=Ash keeps following the tracks, they get clearer=
These tracks are clearer... They must be fresh

=She looks around, and calls out again=
Jay! Jay! Are you out there!

=She follows the trail cautiously=
I hope your O'k Jay...

(He rounds a bend)
(The rain pelting the Hog)
(Thunder crashes and roars)
(He spots the base not too far away)
(He continues driving)
(He stops at the base and takes out his weapons)

=lands and as he's walking to the base with domrii's armor he is struck by a bolt of lightning causing him to collapse=

(He walks into the base)
(He passes out)
(He falls to the ground)
(Motionless)
(Breathing)

=I stop for a break from dragging the body=

Food break!

=I take out a small can of SPAM and eat it, watching my surroundings=

=To the ones that have just fallen from lighting and exaustion=

What the hell are you two doing? *Sigh* Sargent get a few men and get these guys onto the transport ship. And tell the doctor what happen.

=She stops and inspects the ground=
Looks like someone was lying here...?

=Ash looks around=
She must be close by...

=She calls out again, as thunder rumbles over her voice=
Jay!? Jay!? Where are you?!

I stand on the branch and take a step outwards into mid-air. I softly land on Ash's back and in one quick movement, remove her helmet and whisper

Hey.

*yelling* What do you think your doing medic? You don't have time for breaks, you need to help keep the wounded stable and from dieing. I don't have enought medics and doctors to fully take over. If you're hungry eat this. *Tosses you a bean* It should keep you full for a day.

=I pick the flail-mace and put it away= No need to practice with this, it's just a bludgeon.

=to Delta= By the way, you can have one if you prove to me that you won't kill me at some point. You'll have to do that on your own.

=I start walking back to the workshop to make sheaths for the arma= Wanna help make a sheathe?

=Ash screams out in fear=
Argh!? What?!

=She turns around and see's Jay=
Jay... Thank god I found you...

=She hugs her=

I flinch back slightly from the hug and just about manage to wheeze out


Ash. MJOLNIR.

=I see the person and drop my food=

Umm..

=I leave the body and charge farther into the jungle=

let's see...
damn! where the hell is my armor!?
=walks to a standard suit=
this will have to do
=walks out, spotting a guard=

Hey! where'd that weird prototype armor we found go?

guard3: thi' one witha f***ed up helmet?

there's nothing wrong with that helmet you bitch. Yeah that one!

guard3: whys you got armor on anyways? We's not in battle this m'mnt?

uhhh...shit... i was checking POWs

guard3: kay' makes sence, the armors in de reseach facility.

i forget where's that?

guard3: down the hall throo mess hall and to the left .

okay thanks.that actually worked? sure glad this isnt my crew, those brain deads *chuckle*
= breaks off into slow sprint.=

Oh sorry...

=She lets go of Jay=
What are you doing out here? We were looking for you..

I breathe heavily for a few minutes

Childhood.

I run off, disappearing into the forest again. I secretly climb a few trees and head on back until im stood on a branch above Ash again

=She runs after Jay in till she loses site of her=
What did you mean childhood?

=She looks around=
Where did she go...? I guess I should tell the others I found her...

=She try's to talk though her comms but the storm blocks them=
Dam it... I guess I will have to use this...

=She pulls the flare gun out, and points it to the sky=

I drop down silently behind Ash and roll under her, grabbing the flare gun as i go

Come on slowpoke, catch me if you want it back.

I wave it teasingly and sprint up into a tree, bouncing across the branches in a circle until im way above her.

Dam it Jay...

=She begins to chase Jay, and looks for her in the trees=
Jay?

=She sighs and looks around the Jungle=
I can play games to you know!

=She disappears into the Jungle=

My voice rings from all around her as i leap from branch to branch, keeping in line with her from above

Oh, i do love games. What kind of game is this?

all these soldiers...
my enemies...
my foes...
I'm the same to them...
Their enemy...
Their foe...
If i miss a step...
I turn the wrong way...
They won't care a bit...
There's nothing to say...

Living long,
Living short,
This is war,
You can't abort.

=walking through the mess hall=

=Ash slowly backs away listening to any sound, she filters out the noise of the storm and focuses on the trees above her=
I know you there...

=She hears a noise she glances up and jumps up reaching for the tree branch above her=
I got you now!

=She pulls herself up and leaps towards Jay=

I go to leap to the side but instead drop back down to the floor.

Come on, you can do better than that.

=Ash follows her moving within the trees=
I'm not cut out for this Jungle stuff...

=She runs around a branch and jumps towards Jay=

I catch her in mi-jump, flipping us around using her momentum so that i end up sat on her stomach. I turn my head to the side so im looking at her.

Really?

=She laughs=
What did you expect? I'm not the greatest gymnast

=She rolls Jay off of her and sits up=
What are you doing out here...?

=I look back to see if they were following me and I tripped on a metal object=

Ow.. wha..

=I turn back to see Jay and Ash=

Wow.. that is strange...

I keep the flare gun out of reach

I told you. Childhood.

I smile as im lay on the floor

(He feels a hand on him)
(He awakens and throws a punch)
(It lands, knocking the soldier out)

Get your hands off of me

(He stands)
(He looks around)
(He goes back outside)
(He hops back into the hog)

That is enough sleep

(He peels off)

=She looks at the flare gun=
I was never good at games...

=She looks back to Jay=
Has it helped?

Helped?

I give her a quizzical look.

And i can tell, you should get better. it's a lot more fun when there's actually competition.
