(OOC: I'm temped to make this closed, but I'm not. Please don't come into the thread, kill everything, burn all the buildings and salt the Earth so nothing can ever grow again. I really don't want town to cave in like Bunker 47. Thank you. Darlighter watched his two companions ride of into the distance. Calmly, he turned around and walking. He'd been away from home for so long, he'd forgotten what it looked like. He walked past his office, near the center of town. Then, he strolled psat the Phantoms' houses. Hmm, where's Akanyara? I hope she made it out of Bunker 47 all right. I'd really hate training another Phantom. And Aurem is nowhere close to ready... He starred at the Locker, thinking about his current gear. A new gun would be nice... Darklighter slid his Silver coin into the hole on the side of the door. The door hissed, then opened. The coin spat out into Darklighter's hands. He stepped into the Locker and looked at the rows and rows of weapons. The rifles near the back caught his eye. He grabbed one of the fifty caliber sniper rifles, the exited the building. Darklighter walked over to the shooting range, picked a target, then fired. The piece of wood shattered. He grinned, then slung the rifle over his shoulder. What would this do to a human? hmm... Darklighter set out to the woods to try and find a person to obliterate. He jogged through the woods, looking for a player. No dice. Damn. He went back to base, feeling slightly discouraged. He knew that if he looked, he could find somebody, but he really didn't feel like it. I wonder how badly Vulcan died? Darklighter felt compelled to try and find him. With some training, he'd make a good assassin. But firs, he knew he needed to wait for his guild mates to show up. Aurem was out on a hit, and Akanyara had a high chance of showing up dead. Darklighter felt... alone. He went to his office, sat down, and started shifting trough the papers on his desk. So much death, so few people... We need to recruit some people.

OOC: Yeah, i'm aware of that; I read that it's the HQ for your guild.
With a flash and a whir, what appeared to be a bolt of lightning at ground level appeared and out came Kite with a slight grimace,"When I get back to headquarters i'm going to hurt whoever has been forgetting to check those damn vaults..."
He rubbed his head slightly and looked around as he shook his head and got his senses back,"Now where in the hell are we?"

Darklighter stirred in his bed, dreaming about the night the Angels attacked the HQ.
Darklighter entered the HQ, smiling. He'd just gotten his seventh Angel leader. That was fifty gold pieces of bet money. Plus, the hearts of the men. He was the Reaper now, and vowed not to make the same mistakes Sturm had made. Darklighter knew each man personally, knew their strengths, their weaknesses, and most importantly, he viewed them as people, not tools. Life was going great. His friend, a Phantom, walked up with a small bag of gold. The assassin's all stood around clapping. The bet was big news, getting seven Angel leaders in one week. And Darklighter succeeded. He knew It was risky and unleader-like, but it was worth it. Darklighter smiled, took the money then walked over to his office. He left the door open. They were all friends, and the Reaper's work was not much of a secret. Managing hits and contracts was not very exiting. Darklighter reclined in his chair and smiled. He dozed off into a happy dream. He awoke to an assassins shaking him. "Reap, get up, NOW, they've found us." They. The Angels. Darklighter snapped back to reality. He grabbed his rifle and a few bricks of C4. He planted the C4 on the walls, then prepared to fight. The Angels swarmed in, filling the halls. Darklighter fired his rifle. A few angels fell dead, but more came. Soon, he was out of ammunition, and the Angels were climbing over the dead bodies of there comrades. The Angels torched assassin after assassin, killing everybody in sight. The Phantom looked over at Darklighter and screamed, "GET OT NOW. I'LL HOLD 'EM, YOU RUN. I'LL CATCH UP." Darkighter tried to argue, but the Phantom screamed again. "RUN. You know the secrets. You are the Reaper. You can restart the Guild. I can't." Wordlessly, Darklighter jumped from the window onto a nearby rooftop. He turned and listened to the Phantom scream as the Angels burned him. Darklighter turned and ran, through the first portal he could find. He found himself in Allondel...

The white light that Vulcan saw faded away to a foresty green. "By the looks of it, we missed Minervum by a few miles. I think we are somewhere in Rakutan Forest, by the looks of it." A familiar mountain rose above the trees, and a small town was placed in a relatively large clearing. He motioned Kite to follow. "It ain't Minervum, but I bet they have supplies and ammo even here." Vulcan supposed. "You coming or not?"

Kite sighed as he cracked his neck, "That's certainly the phrase of the day, no?"
He walked down the main street somewhat stunned,"This place is like goddamned frontier land..."
He quickly jumped up to one of the many roofs, then used that to get into a tree on the tree line and look out into the woods and try to figure out where in the Rakutan they were,"You said Darklighter is in this area?"
He kept looking out into the woods until he decided to get to the very top of the tree and get a better view; he pulled out his binoculars to search for the direction of Minervum, "There's a hell of a lot of downed trees in the distance. Looks like Knightmares were out there not that long ago, a couple of hours maybe...what would they want in the middle of the forest?"
God, what the hell is going on today...

Darklighter stirred in his bed. The nightmare just kept going. Suddenly, he heard voices outside the building, and footsteps on the roof. Footsteps on the roof... how would one get on the roof? ANGELS DAMMIT! Darklighter grabbed his rifle a few bricks of C4. He tossed the C4 out the window and mounted his .50 caliber rifle on the window sill. He saw a man dressed in some strange suit whit a laser rifle. Vulcan. Darklighter unmounted his rifle and put his lab coat on. He grabbed the URV and mounted a rifle on. Wow, the thing can't even turn. Before he left the room, he gabbed his .45 and the PEHD. Darklighter slung his over his shoulder and prepared the PEHD for its blindness attack. This was his home, and he would sooner die than leave. Darklighter trotted down the stairs and exited his office/house. "What the hell are you doing here you worthless sack of dog vomit? How did you find us?" Darklighter edged towards Vulcan, waiting for a response. "Answer now. I have fifteen marksmen all aiming at you. Darklighter spoke into the PEHD, and the URV fired from his window. The bullet landed a few feet in front of Vulcan. Darklighter starred, ready for whatever Vulcan would do.

Vulcan features faded into the enviroment. "Well, well, is that a proper greeting to somebody who you abandoned in your own bunker and left behind to die? Well, here is your response, you damned sonuvabitch!" A split second later a blade appeared at Vulcan's wrist, who was already practically flying at Darklighter, going strait for the neck.

Darklighter heard Vulcan's breath, his foot steps, and the hiss of his arm blade. Darklighter duck, then fired at Vulcan as he lunged at the empty space above him. "YOU BLEW UP MY GADDAMMN BUNKER YOU SOB!!" Darklighter turned around and fired a few shots from his .45.

Nanobots blew off from Vulcan's armor. He clarified: "Hey, its not my fault that I had to plant a grenade BECAUSE THERE WAS A FUCKING WORLD EATER AT THE DAMNED ENTRANCE YOU COWARD! If you hadn't pulled a total cop-out, maybe your pitiful bunker would still be alive right now."

Darklighter stood up and brushed the dirt off his coat. He stared at the man near him. Darklighter fired a few more shots from his .45. "So, when do the Angels show up? You've led them to my home and headquarters. You just can't let us live, can you? Sturm is in jail, and the Chief never died. Why can't you staff asses just be happy?" Darklighter hit the blindness attack on the PEHD, then watched the area glitch. Darklighter whispered Chameleon then ran into his office. He took a shots a Vulcan with his .50 caliber rifle. Darklighter ran upstairs, grabbed his knives and some ammunition. He fired out the upstairs window, then moved again. He felt Kite's presence above him. Hmmm, Vulcan is working with Kite. I can use this...

"Angels? There are no angels. But I can have Kite do that." He tried reasoning again, when his vison became obscured. He stumbled into the building as he felt a crapload of displaced dirt come from 50 cal round. He felt for the wall and sat down. He heard more rounds come from above. I'm glad those things aren't high tech. I would be dead meat by now. I really, really hope I can get to this guy. "I can let you live. All I wan't is my pistol back." He sighed, knowing he would regret this statment later. "I don't care what you did back in the bunker. I would've done the same if I had something like that." I could use one of those... Vulcan thought to himself mid sentence. He PMed Kite: Don't call in the calvary just yet. Lemme try something. He retracted his blades, but he increased his combat level just to be safe, in case Darkligher snapped. Hell, even he is now checked into the funny farm. Wonder what he's on... When will it end? He groaned inwardly. He rested his head on his arms in frustration, and waited for what will happen.

Darklighter saw Vulcan open the office door and walk in. Darklighter whispered "disguise" and shifted his appearance to look like Kite. "Don't worry, I got him. Here's your pistol." Darklighter handed the pistol back to Vulcan. "Yeah, so I came in through the window and got him in the back. I dissolved him." Darklighter pointed to the pile of bloody clothes on the floor. "Well now... let's get moving. You first." Where's Aurem when you need him?

Kite had actually creeped through the window himself and hidden under Darklighter's desk. He wanted to chuckle, but he had a plan. He peered his head out to watch Darklighter's appearance change.
That bloody bastard...I knew there was something fishy about him. He must have some sort of hacking device.
That's not me that's with you; it's him. Roll with it and keep him busy; I'm going through his shit, and I can call in the calvary.
- Kite Mcknights, Square Enix
Once they had left the room, Kite quickly ripped the desk drawer open as spikes shot out of the drawer. He jumped back to avoid them.
Wow, PTSD much...?
He began to root through the contents of the various drawers, looking for any documents pertaining to this town's purpose, much less who Darklighter actually was.

Vulcan PMed back: Heh. I thought that wasn't you. He didn't have the cynical additude. He replied to "Kite": "Well, where are we headed? You didn't tell me anything. Do you think that you could unblind me? I need to get to Darklighter's armory. If we can find it, I can reconfigure some of his ammo to suit my guns."

(OOC: Darkrider, it seems like a lot of DL's bullets are unaccounted for...) Darklighter felt movement behind him. Bring! It's Kite! Darklighterr looked over at Vulcan. "How do know there's an armoury? Hang on. I heard something." Darklighter went back to hid desk, and saw a few draws open. Bloody Hell. Darkighter heard zippers jingling around the corner. "What's this?" Darklighter saw a large scythe hanging on the wall. He picked it up and felt the blade. "I'll be taking this." Darklighter looked over at Vulcan. "Hey, Vulcan, remember this!" Darklighter turned invisible, then threw a brick of C4 on Vulcan Darklighter dove out the window and squeezed the trigger. Darklighter then ran to the Armoury and checked the locks. They were all closed, and Vulcan would need a nothing less than a small Nuke to get through the main door. Darklighter chuckled as he prepared to fight.
