After recovering from his paralysis, Darklighter stood up and spoke. "Well, I offer my apologies, for what it's worth. I know I deceived you once before, but I saw an advantage, and I took it. I was afraid of dieing. I am sure you would do the same. Now, if we all work together, we can build a mighty bunker, larger than anyone has ever seen. Plus, if we work together, no one will get killed. We should have listened to the female earlier. Now, who was that bastard who tried to shoot me in cold blood? i just want to talk. Really, I have no weapons after all." Darklighter walked back to where he dropped his shotgun and slung it over his shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. Now, back to digging."

"Oh, it's here, our sources haven't been wrong yet, which brings me to reason two. We have to get everyone out of that cave to gain access. We don't want anyone intruding now. Much less we can't risk a big fight. There's more of them than us right now, but we can work around it. Head-on battles won't win this. The voice was only phase 1, McKnights is panicking internally, and feels he can't trust anything, once he panics, he starts to get careless. When he gets too careless, he'll get too nervous and order them to fall back out of the cave; the tensions rise more. Eventually, McKnights will desert the group and come at me head on without knowing what's against him, trying to play the hero. We can nail him then. Once that's done, we look at the circumstances and tweak phase two to fit and get the rest out" Ferus said making a sweep over his Buster sword as he examined the heavily-used blade with no degree of caution whatsoever.
"Once McKnights is gone, I have my contact in that organization to spin the story that it was someone else, like that hiding fool Samanosuke." __ With Kite
Kite reacted to the paralysis as anyone would, by screaming out in agony mentally. He knew he couldn't just leave them here, that could get him security detail for months if something happened that he didn't prevent from lack of care. He recalled Lunis and Solis, then thought to himself.
I'm going to have to play along for now. I still have a few trump cards to play, and these conditions aren't ideal. Tag along and wait for my chance it is then...
"Very well, i'll behave," Kite said slouching against a wall, tired, "I'll tag along for now at least."

(OOC: One of you still needs to begin some actual interaction with Akanyara, guys.)
"Samanosuke's still alive?" Perrin muttered in disbelief. He cut the weaves for the Scrying spell, letting the misty screen dissolve in the chilly air. "Last anyone heard of him was Dragonheart catching him in a surprise attack, and few people survive one of those from him. How in the world did he survive?"

Darklighter slowly walked down the tunnel, looking for his .45, Ka-Bar, and hidden blade. He heard Kite say, "Sure, I'll tag along for now at least." Darklighter turned around and looked at the zippered kid. "Cool. Think you can get a hold of some heavy lifting and digging tools? That would be really nice. By the way, why did you try to kill me? I did nothing to you." He then picked up his weapons and put the .45 back in it's holster. He ten walked up to the woman standing in the tunnel. "So... who are you, and what are you doing here?" He had dozens of questions for the people crowding inside his bunker. The man with yellow eyes, the guy with the weird voice, and the kid who disappeared.

OOC: Have no fear, the semi-perv is here!
As Scept shot backwards out of the cave, something caught his eye. In the moment of speed it was naught but a blur; however, he flung around the nearest turn he could, which happened to be relatively near to Akanyara. An amused smile split his features as he realised that his newfound tunnel partner was female. Come to think of it, Scept could vaguely recall a woman's voice trailing through the tunnels.
He exited his time tunnel hurriedly as he came behind her, hoping that his speed would have masked his mad dash. Talking care to step lightly, he moved in behind her. A fleeting wish to simply rest his head on her shoulder passed through his mind, but the weaponry that was easily spotted made him rethink. Perhaps to best to begin at a distance.
When he was only a mere four feet behind her, he spoke in a what he considered to be a moderately charming voice, "I'm afraid they won't be able to hear you. 'Men at work' and all the bullshivism. (Sorry Darklighter to steal your line) However, I do believe that you have my attention now. My name's Scept. Might I be so bold as to inquire yours?" Suddenly noticing that Darklighter had moved toward her as well, he put on an annoyed face and narrowed his eyes while making a shooing movement with his hand.

OOC: AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! How dare you steal my line? You have so many others!!! Why? ?? Sorry. Now my post. Hey! Russian Kid! Why are you standing so close behind this nice young woman? She may get the wrong idea about you. Plus, you still need a job. If you are going to stay here, you need to pull your weight. See if you can find some more workers. Thank you." Darklighter gave a mock smile and shooed back at Scept. "You can flirt later."

Kite stayed leaned against a wall and carefully eyed up what was ahead of them. Just lookiing at her gave him the willies. He merely added a "Hmm" to the end of Darklighter's words.
No ways she's full blown human. __ With Ferus
"Ruishi's a coward, he cheats death every time he can. Ever notice how there's never a corpse of him? That's because he's not dead. Until you see him dead on the ground with no vitals, you can assume he's alive. Dragonheart's careless with checking over his opponent to see if he really killed him." Ferus said taking another large bite out of the apple in his hand.

"That's true," Perrin agreed, standing up and taking hold of the Chronoscepter as he stood. Walking over to the nearby apple tree, the sorcerer reached up with his staff and used one of its frontal blades to cut off an apple, letting the fruit drop down into his open hand. As he brought it up to his mouth, something bright blue streaked through the air and slammed into the apple, tearing it out of his hand and pinning it to the tree.
With an annoyed frown, Perrin looked off to the side as Liatas lowered the Starlight Bow, an aggravating smirk on her face. "Finally returned, have you?" he said, using the Chronoscepter to cut another apple out of the tree. "It certainly took you long enough. Nothing to find."
"Bite me. For your information, I did find what might be another way into the tunnels," Liatas said with a sneer to Perrin as she propped her bow up against a tree. "There's traces of magic around it, so there's probably an illusion spell set over it."

"Then someone knows what we're after and wants to divert our attention from it. The true opposition just bluffed, i'd say let's call," Ferus said as he glanced at the apple pinned to the tree.
"How strong is the magic emanation from the area?"

"Beats me," Liatas said with a shrug of her shoulders. "I can recognize magic, but not like him."
Finishing a bite from his apple, Perrin swallowed and gave Liatas a flat look. "It looks like I'll need to check it out."

Vulcan let out an audible sigh, if his helmet voice muffler was off. "I'm amazed that guy could paralyze someone like that. At least I still got my weapons here with me, and I was lucky enough not to get noticed. Does that guy expect me to behave too? He isn't here..." He turned off his active camoflauge and made his way toward the rest of the people. He stopped next to darklighter, and took up a pickaxe and started to dig next to him. Behind his helmet he made an attempt to smile. "Hey. Sorry about the scuffle. I hear there's something lurking down here?" He handed his mini pistol to him "I'll make it up to you if you want. Just don't lose or misuse it."

Akanyara watched as a sudden blur sped toward her. A breeze blew across her leg, but just as quickly as it had appeared it was behind her, speaking quietly. She did not turn, simply forced her energy into focusing on the boy that approached. This was not necessarily a dangerous situation, though there had been fighting just moments ago from deep within the caverns his voice was different than the angry tones she had heard. His was mysterious, flirtatious, an attempt at seduction perhaps. She rolled her eyes though she did not turn toward him, replying quietly with a bite to her words, “Men at work? Is there truly such a thing. You are in the presence of Akanyara, Scept, you do well to mind your actions and words. I will not hesitate to retaliate.”
Blunt? Yes. But she found that with boys of this type it was best to simply tell them straight that she was not interested in their ploys at coercing her into soft-heartedness. She was an intelligent, headstrong, and spirited young girl, and Scept could not change that no matter his actions or words. He seemed the type to try something he shouldn’t however, and just as she was about to turn toward him, more forms began to emerge from the mouth of the cave. One, another young boy, spoke to Scept teasingly and she replied in spitefulness, “Nice young woman? Try again. No one said I was nice.” Her eyes held his with an icy stare. This was her way, hate and annoyance toward all she met whether they were kind or not. She was not prepared to be wrapped in a nice warm little bubble by these men, safe from harm.
If they’d seen her companion, or her battle skills, or her transformation, they might have thought twice about being so…
Male…

Darklighter had an amused look on his face as he listened to the female in front of him gripe. "My apologies. There is so much I could say here that would describe you so well, but I dislike using ad hominem attacks." He did an about-face, grabbed his shovel and started digging next to Darkrider. "So, who might you be?" he said to his would be murderer.

Vulcan chuckled. "My name's Vulcan. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Considering all those weird things going on. I was just travelling when I heard the gunshots. It's not like I can ignore that." He started to dig along side Darklighter. "Besides, I'm looking for some fresh meat, if you know what I mean. And according to what I hear, I just might get this opportunity." Holding his pickaxe under his arm for a bit, he casually loaded a clip into his mini pistol, as then replaced the partially used clip of his rifle with a new one. After holstering his pistol and slinging his rifle over to his back, he resumes digging

Kite sighed to himself and leaned back against the wall. He knew for a fact every single one of them had different objectives. Now he would have to watch his own ass out there on top of worrying about Ferus.
Dammit, i'm running out of options for turning the tables here...
