Chapter 4: Exodus part 2

=She stands up at puts her armour back on=
I guess I better get ready... There's nothing here for me any more..

=She opens the Pelican door=
Draco...

=She spots him sitting outside=

Im sorry.
For what he did
Im sorry
For that pain.
If I could
I would
Take it all away.

But you didn't do anything...

=She walks to the edge of the Pelican=
It was Zayne... Who those if he was right... But I can't live like that...

=She looks back down at her hands some blood still mark them=
You should have come... You could of helped...

I know.
I shut down.
There was no call for me to not come.
I shouldve helped.

Immer died Draco... She got shot in the gut... I was there with her..

=She looks at Draco in the eyes=
Where did you go..?

=She sees the skull paten carved into his visor=
What did you do..?

@Ash
I went everywhere
I came here
I went to our room
I went to the forest
I carved this

=I wrap my leg in a makeshift caste and I use my DMR once again, as a crutch=
=I stumble a bit from this sort of... sleepiness.=

Why..? Why would you carve such a disgusting thing...

=She takes a step of the Pelican=

@Ash
I dont know.
I just started to.

(He takes off the helmet)
(His eyes red, from the crying)

=I stumble into the middle of the courtyard and collapse, falling in a small pool of blood=

_{This.. is mine? Noo....}

=I try to crawl away from the puddle=

Draco...

=She walks closer to him=
I'm sorry...

=Her eyes meet the floor=
I don't know what to say..

(He stands and walks up to her)
(He embraces her)
@Ash
just another bump in the road
we will make it through

=She hugs him tightly=
Please...?

=She kisses him=
Don't ever leave me like that... Not after what happened...

=He gets on Comms=
Voutan- Tar. I need you. Get back to the Spirit imideatlely.

=comms back=
why what you need?

Voutan- Just get back here. THere is something i need to take care of and i need your help.

... fine i'll be right there, hold on
=begins heading back to the compound=

@Ash
I have somewhat of a solution for Him.
Dormii installed a program.
Whenever he comes out.
And I am in my armor.
It will lock.
preventing him from doing anything.

What do you mean...? You can't live your life in your armour..?

=She pulls away from Draco=
What about the meds?

@Ash
They help only to suppress, Zayne.
They stop my episodes.

I know i cannot live in my armor.
I plan and try to live normally.
well as normal as I can.

If that's what you want to do...

=She sighs=
I just don't know what to do any more...

@Ash
Like I said
It is just another obstacle for us to climb.
Just another bump in the road
We can regain control.

=i wake up, and give Jay a kiss on the forehead as I leave the medbay. I go and collect my armor, putting it in my room. I grab up the arma from the courtyard fight and return to the workshop. I start repairing the staff, putting metal bands wound the center to strengthen it=

=He gets all his armor and gear ready. He takes his ELS, MCR, pistol, some armor-peircing rounds, the TorWhip, and some Tor-material Daggers. He waits in the Rec Room for Tar-Tun to arrive=

=he gets to the Spirit and walks aboard and into the rec room=

Voutan- Good. You're here. I need you to watch the ship while im on a little... Expidition, lets call it... Get your gear.
=He heads off to the bridge and powers up the ship=

alright then...
=sits down=

=After his long surgery and forced quick recovery, Delta heads off to wander the halls of the Azure Comet. He takes with him two elite bodyguards, as almost everyone on board is either in the lower back part of the ship working, or in the bridge=

=The ship takes off and heads towards the Azure Comet=

so, Sunrieon where is it that we're going?

=The Spirit pulls into the Hanger of the Azure Comet=

Sun- We are leading a mission that Voutan insisted upon. I know only vague details.

Should i be worried? we're inside the Azure Comet.

=The ship's security is offline, so no one comes to investigate the ship pulling into the main Hanger. The crew continues working in the lower back and bridge of the ship, Delta continues wandering about=

Sun- Tar-tun, I am worried.

=Voutan removes Sun's chip and places it in his helmet. He goes down to the lower deck, lowers the ramp, and heads into the hanger. Using maps provided by Sunreion's earlier scan of the ship, he navigates to find what he is looking for=

Really? your leaving me alone on the ship? *sigh* C'mon man.

=He sees his Spartan attacker from earlier round the corner. His guards open fire with their assault rifles on him=

what the hell is going on here?

=He ducks back around the corner. He comes back out and flings a Tordagger into the chest of one of the guards, dropping him instantly. He spins around to use his other hand to pump and entire clip of armor-peircing rounds from his pistol into the other guard. The halls are already splattered with blood, but the battle is not nearly over=

...*gurgle* ... oh,yeah that's right, I still havn't eaten anything yet. *grrrrrrrrrr*
=doubles over=
Man I'm hungry.

=Delta sees his guards so easily killed, and starts to run away, shooting his pistol behind him as he does so=

=He grabs his Torwhip and lashes it at Delta. He catches his Leg and trips him. He begins to drag the XNNO towards him=

Voutan- GET OVER HERE!

=He tries getting up, but feels an unbearable pain, like a worm made of barbed wire rushing up his spine, and his blood filled with tiny barbs. He tries firing his pistol, but it is out of ammunition=

=i test the weight of the staff, it leans slightly towards the spear tip. i put some metal bands around the base of the flail to balance it out. i spin it over my head, and hold against my back, the flail down, the tip up= Perfect

=i quickly carve "Jay" into the center band, and start heading outside=

I know we will, we can do anything...

=She smiles and kisses him=
I don't blame you Draco... I'm going to be there for you

=She sits down on the pelican with Draco=
I will always love you... No matter what happens...

=With one swift motion, he draws his ELS, activates it, cuts the pistol in half, deactivates it, and holsters it. He kneels down next to the fallen soldier. He draws his kinfe and begins going to work=

My anger gives me my focus.
My passion, My strength.
My Rage gives me my courage.
And with it, I become a deadly weapon to those whe dare invoke it.

=His hands move quickly and decisively, doing what he had done so many times before, almost as if it were an automatic process=

=is still on the roof and he sees dormi coming outside so he jumps down right behind him stealthily without letting him know =

hi

(He smiles)
@Ash
Thank you.
For everything.

(He kisses her)

=i jump back a little= Seriously, don't do that. Almost decided to knock that block you call a head off. =i chuckle= I'm kidding. How's it going?

=She laughs=
What did I do?

=Her fingers run across Draco's back as she hugs him again=

I'd ask about those, but you probably don't know much other than what you just told me. And, knowing you, you probably did something to my new armor. Anything I should know before I really use it?

=i raise my eyebrow=
