Meaning that Ill be bored until someone gets to writting... Come on people, EGC awaits...
Besides, How can I use May's flame technique if there's no one to fight with? >.< *Waves May's katana*
Ken: What technique? O.o
Nevermind.. -_-
Ken: Baka.. ¬¬
Anyhow, Im off to lurk the shadows...*Puts May's katana back into its respective scabbard*
Ken: Im going with ya! ^_^ Penguins are cool!

Sou: Im an Elf! I have clairevoyance! -^_^-
Clirewhat? O.o
Ken: Clair the cutie! Sou: Clairvoyance.. ¬_¬ ... Oo; I see...
Sou: No, _I_ can see. You see, clairevoyance lets mee see through other people's eyes! -^_^- So you spied on Jen.
Sou: _Yup_. I never saw a girl who liked Ice Cream so much...
*Draws May's katana* HANABI!!!

_Fine_, Ill go do some wandering there later... Jen can take care of herself.. ^_^ She has an AT field, I have 2 swords---
Ken: I have a Shuriken and a War fan! ^___^
Sou: And Ive got my Elven powers and my lance! ^-^
o_o; *blink*.... Still, She has an AT field.. And the further she is from Adam-sama, the better ne? *Slightly worried* ^^;;
Sou and Ken: _Suuure_! ^_- ^_-
Anyhow, lets go! ^_^
Sou: Awight, lets mosey--! On towards the city of God! Where the final battle shall be fought by Lilith alone, while we cheer for her in the shadows! Onwards my men! *Stops, noticing Jay and Ken already left* >-< HEY!!!!!
*Somewhere in the streets of EGC, three of Heaven's most powerful messengers lurk in mostly inconspicuous yet slighty odd forms....*
*What do I mean? Well, let's just say they all look just about exactly alike. Eerily so. As in, even more alike than triplets would. All three are tall men with medium builds, dressed in simple T-shirts and jeans with straight shoulder length hair and crimson eyes. The only differences between them is that Ramiel has deep blue hair, Zeruel has dark green hair, and Rogziel has bright silver hair.*
Rogziel: A Fallen One is nearby.
Ramiel: Indeed....Ravenal?
Zeruel: Hai. Dives, as well.
Angel Attack!
Ramiel: How shall we handle this?
Zeruel: I'll go with Rogziel after Ravenal.
Rogziel: I can handle her myself!
Zeruel: *Smirks* Perhaps, but I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to see which one of you is more suited for the title of Wrath of God....
Rogziel: ....Very well.
Ramiel: *Nods* I'll pursue Dives, then.
*The Shito split up. Rogziel and Zeruel run--and I use the word "run" loosely, because they're using their AT Fields to distort space and shorten the distance--towards the Shinra building to trace Ravenal. Meanwhile, Ramiel heads after Dives.*
*At the same time his colleagues are pursuing the Fallen Ones, Ireul is already within Shinra HQ. Our scene switches over to the office of a Faceless Shinra Employee, or FSE for short.*
FSE: >_< What, I don't even get a name?
*Not until you become a more important cameo. Now get back behind that damned Fourth Wall!*
FSE: Hai hai. -_-;
*The FSE takes a seat at his computer desk to see a very odd message flashing on his screen, reading: "Password, please."*
FSE: What on Earth....? That's never happened before....
*A new message flashes up, reading: "Don't worry about it. Password, please.*
FSE: o.O;;; Did the higher-ups have voice recognition installed in these or something....? Why do you need to know my password, anyway?
*Next message: Just give it to me or I'll hack my way into the system and make it look like _you_ did it.*
FSE: O_O;;; *Figuring that someone who can make his computer recognize voices when it couldn't before is no one to be messed with, our dear little FSE relents.* Hai hai! Er, how do I tell you....?
*Message: Type it right here.* *A small password prompt opens on the screen.*
FSE: *Obeys, typing in his system password*
*Message: Foolish mortal.*
FSE: Uh....what?
*No answer comes--at least, not a verbal one. The screen of the FSE--and immediately afterwards, the screens of every computer on the same floor--blank for a second, then revert to the Blue Screen of Death. And then the Blue Screen of Death starts to spread, taking over the computers at every level of the Shinra hierarchy, as Ireul relentlessly hacks through the system.*
Ireul: Almost too easy....I could've simply taken the password without asking, but this lets me concentrate more energy on keeping control....*With one last stream of rapid-fire code, Ireul pushes his way through the protective barriers around the highest levels of Shinra's computer system. In a matter of minutes, the entire Shinra Corporation has been more or less laid at his celestial feet.*
*In other words, _big_problem._*
Ireul: Hmmmph, NERV's MAGI system was far more of a challenge than this. Well, let's see how they try and remove me. *With speed beyond thought, Ireul reads over thousands of Shinra files* Ah, weapons data and controls....this could prove interesting....
*And finally, at the City of God, the Shito have paralyzed Ryouga. Adam is preparing to put him to use.*
Adam: Hmmm....this mortal is strong. But even more interesting, his mind functions oddly....he cannot consciously find direction, but he has some sort of psychic faculty which draws him towards improbable or dangerous situations. This could be useful. Bardiel!
Bardiel: Hai, Adam-sama?
Adam: You shall possess this mortal. His strength shall serve as a useful weapon....and his mental oddities will allow you to move about without anyone suspecting your motives.
Bardiel: Very well, Adam-sama.
*Bardiel begins to transform, shifting out of his shapeless form of light to a physical "body": a pale bluish vapor which wafts towards Ryouga and enters his body, drawn in through his very pores. When the possession is complete, Ryouga's body falls slack, and he regains consciousness--but with Bardiel firmly in control.*
Ryouga/Bardiel: *Teleports out of the City using his AT Field*
*Things look grim! The Shito are moving out in force. And now with a bit of Commentary on this situation, the Elementals!*
Dominia: Okay, yeah, the situation sucks and all, but what I want to comment on is the fact that we haven't been in many of your posts, RL-VS!
*Eh? Nani? ^_^;;;; Don't do this, Dominia....*
Seraphita: o.O But she's right! You said, like, we were gonna give commentary at the end of all your posts! But in the last few we haven't even been mentioned!
*Well, ummmm.....*
Tolone: Yes?
*Okay, okay, so I've been a bit lax. ^_^;;; I promise to get the Commentary in more often!*
Seraphita: Wai! :D
End communication.
In which Shinobi finds a body, discovers that three is in fact a crowd, takes something of a journey, and finally ends up right back where he started...
(*Well, my last post was rambleing and incoherant, really, so i gotta apoligize for it. Again i learn the lesson not to type up posts while both on a call and trying to play Heroes of Might and Magic 2. All is good though, because i'm going to disect it, and give you the play by play again, just to clear everything up and make it all good.*)
(*First, Shinobi with vengance on his mind found the trail to the rodents*)
(*Meanwhilst the assassins were attemping to gain control of the Cameos [hey, it was kinda possible]. And yes Shakespear made up "assassination" and "bump."*)
(*The wraith boy [in possession of a robot body] stormed the building, climbing up the side and grabbing the assassins. Then, in a fit of inspiration, removed the safeguards on the robot's power supply and managed to level the building, and nicely "remove" the threat of the anti-RLs... however there is a wrinkle. Lava and Raba managed to quite neatly duplicate Shinobi's soul transfer magic, and in shedding their bodys, ended up in one conglomerate soul with the unfortunate ninja. and so we rejoin the plot in media res*)
[ SCENE: An Undisclosed location... something of a research station, but not quite so much. Two scientists stoop over a somewhat familiar form. Meanwhilst the cleaning crew is trying to clean up the area of the room not occupied by the body on the slab and its attendants. ]
Scientist 1: And so now the dermal armor implants are complete... and the unarmed weapons have been attached. Looks like we have completed the _final_ clone.
Scientist 2: I'm really pleased with the way the armor turned out, that new micro-fine lamellar composite model really worked wonders, i mean unless i know what to look for, i can barely notice it.
Scientist 1: Agreed, it is a large step from our original designs, that barly even resembled something human...
Janitor: Guys? Why honestly are you cloning this random ninja?
Scientist 2: We have our reasons...
Janitor: And why are those, really?
Scientist 1: Well, i don't rightly know... its just one of those things... we have to clone somebody.
Janitor: Fair enough.
Look, this is _my_ soul, so you get to pipe down. Then we go get a body, and get the hell to a person who can separate you all out of me. That sounds like a plan. _Wait_! What happens to us? Well, i'd imagine something uncomfortable. So why don't we attack you _now_ when we are on equal footing? Because then you won't be able to find a body. Why on earth not? Because, my dear Raba, if you leave my body at the moment, then you will be left looking for a body that is similar to your own. You'd have to enter a body of your own species and all that. Well, then, let's get to finding that body, then. Aight, Shoshanna, let's roll! Where to? To the lab, where they most likely made the first clone. Oh yay, no travel time involved _there_. Shut up and lets roll.
[ SCENE: At that same moment, in the lab ]
>> TRY [ 101
] ====>
Soul transfer
rejected.
(A)bort, (R)etry,
(F)ail?
Scientist 1: Damn stupid DOS based system!
Scientist 2: I _told_ you we should have upgraded. i said GUI was the way to go didn't i?
Scientist 1: Oh shut the hell up, and help me get this damn thing working!
>> TRY [ 102
] ====>
Soul transfer
rejected.
(A)bort, (R)etry,
(F)ail?
Scientist 1: (*Growl. Firmly grasps monitor and carelessly flings it out the window*)
Scientist 2: You really should stop doing that. You know how much trouble the requisition forms are...
Janitor: How about you two go get danishes, calm down, and come back up here and run a thorough diagnostic on the body/soul synch graph...
Scientist 1: Where on earth did you come from?
Janitor: I designed giant robots a while ago. Then there was a restructuring and i had to kinda find other employment.
Scientist 2: Oh, that's pretty bad... wanna go get a bagel?
Scientist 1: Mmmmm... Lox....
(*They walk off... and the janitor finishes up, shuts off the lights, and wanders off.*)
(*Deep silence fills the room. Until a shining teleportation effect springs into being*)
Hey, we all made it! Of _course_, i was casting the damn spell. And we should have been the ones doing it, we are much better with the magic. Yeah, right. Well, we did kill you. Point taken, lets get into that body...
(*The incorporeal tri-soul takes a seat at the monitorless console.*)
(*Ahem*) Lesse... this should start up the voice activation software... Oh, ready to hack the mainframe? Shut ya face. And now, initiate soul transfer program. Progress to Stage 4, then wait for commands.
>> Affirmative.
ATTEMPT [ 103 ].
Stage 1, Green.
Stage 2, Green.
Stage 3, Green.
Stage 4, paused.
Continue (Y/N)
Ok, and now for the difficult part... We three have to just sink in there... it's a copy of my original body, so i sould be able to completely merge into it... more than just posses, i mean. You are the "expert" on this. Thanks for the vote of comfidence.
(*The slightly glowing nimbus floats over to the body onna slab, and sinks into it. The ambient glow fades, somehow seeming to become one with the cloned form.*)
Holy-! It worked?! Yes indeed it did... now for the really hard part. We have to get the hell out of here without setting off the alarms.
(*Shinobi stands*)
BEEP BEEP BEEP! ALERT! ALERT! ESCAPE IN PROGRESS! SEALING SECTION 10!
Damnation. Run for it!
(*The clone leaps up from the table, and runs off... almost*)
First on the agenda... we beat up a guard and take some pants... this hospital gown is a wee bit breezy... Agreed.
Guard: I'm supposed to stop you from entering the room...
(*With a deft movement the guard is relieved of his uniform*)
I learned that move from Final Fantasy 3/6. Gotta love that thieving ability...
Locke: Its _TREASURE_HUNTING_!
(*Glances around*) Who said that? I'm fairly certain its just general strangeness. Agreed. Well, now that the three of us are dressed, lets get to something that can get us out of here...
(*The somewhat schitzo trio dash down the hallway, using techniques learned in Tenchu, and from years of ninja training [of course]*)
Aha, "Hanger Bay 15"... "Top Secret". Hmmm... Its in a hanger and top secret, sounds like a whole lotta fun... (*Kicks door in*) Ooooooh... Woooow... it looks like it could break the speed limit, standing still...
(*And yes it does... it most certainly does. its one hell of a plane, lemme tell ya... Huge and glossy black, with swept foreward wings and a pair of outward tilted delta tail fins, wings are set up in the style with large wings behind, smaller in front (canards... aw screw it, think YF-19... which one was Isamu's?, only black, and with underslung engine intakes... like an F-16 in RL. And it has ducted fans in the centers of the wings.... gotta love VTOL.) Pretty sweet, yes?*)
This i shall have to steal. Hear hear!
(*The three souls pile into the jump jet, and begin to start it up*)
Where are the guards here?
[ SCENE: On the other side of the doors to Section 10 ]
Guard 1: You know, i think we should have set the security system to allow us to enter areas shut down because of breakouts. Ah well, they can't get out...
Guard 2: Well, the hangars are over there. Isn't Project 2145 in there?
Guard 1: Damn me... it looks like we are all should be looking for new jobs...
Guard 3: But i need this on my resume...
Guard 1: (*Sigh*)
[ SCENE: Back in the hangar ]
Ok, so i think i have it figured out... it can take off vertically, and fly like a normal plane, but it can't go to the center of the earth, or back in time... Lets get us gone! Very well then, i'll just push this and... (*and like that "Poof" it was gone*)
[ SCENE: Somewhere... not over the rainbow, but close ]
So where are we? I'm thinking you were wrong about that back in time thing... Why's that? Look over there
"(grumble grumble bio-mech body grumble grumble scrap junk grumble grumble anatomically correct grumble grumble grumble)" >-<
Uh ... Yuna, I sure hope you're not saying what I *think* you're saying ... ^^;;;;
"Nani? I'm not saying anything, Evil One." ^^
Whoah, Deja vu... Deja vu? Deja vu. Stop that. Huh, so i guess i _was_ really wrong about the back in time thing... I think i'll go see if i'm here, in the past. Wouldn't that be horribly kreepy? Actually, i think it might be, instead of the past coming back to haunt me, i'd be coming back to haunt my past... (*Smirk*) Ah well, nobody has seen us, so i guess its safe to pile back into the jet and see if we can make it back to the present... Again, agreed. (*And with another "Poof" the plane manages to vanish, unseen by the past...*)
[ SCENE: More or less in the present ]
Aight... did we make it back? I hope so...
Voodoo: Umm... where the _hell_ have you been?!
When did i leave?
Lyric: in the middle of the Third Roach War.
Good good, Its back when i left... now to get these damn rats out of my head?
Lyric: Boss, you ok?
Its a looooong story...
(*And so, as Shinobi begins his recap, relatng the events of the past few months/days, we'll fade to black. Leaving this uberpost here at the moment... now i'm back and in the _present_ (yoy)*)
Yes, i figure that the past should be faded slightly... just a wee bit... i say "why not?" actually... Ah well, i've kinda lost phone lines at home (they should be fixed today, so when i get off work at 11 tonight, i should be able to get sweet sweet internet access from my home again... Jump up and down with glee...
