(OOC: I accounted them for in my fourth post)
"Well, how could he get all these guns for himself and his troops when-" Darklighter's comments interuppeted him and he soon felt a brick of something stick on his head. Crap, this is going to be bad! He leapt in an uncertain direction, knowing somewhere was better than there, when a deafeaning boom and a shockwave blew the rest of his nonbots away and scarred most of his armor. He landed with a thud. "Fithly sonofabitch!" he muttered. His strength gave out, and he started to faint. He really, really hoped Kite could turn the tables without him. He blacked out

(OOC: Nano machines brushed off the armour? What does that mean? And Darklighter fired more bullets than you noticed.) Darklighter heard the boom and rushed back in. Most of the office was covered in ash. Darklighter saw Vulcan lying on the ground unconscious. Darklighter put his gun on Vulcan's forehead and fired. Then, to be sure, Darklighter slashed a Vulcan's throat with his Ka-Bar. "That's done. Now to find Kite." Darklighter felt Kite's presence near him. Darklighter disguised himself as Vulcan and used invisibility on the real Vulcan. Hey, Kite, I'm not really sure what happened there. I think all my nanobots are dead though. Darklighter walked over to Kite. I wonder what Darklighter has been doing here? I think he was going to lead me out back and shoot me between the eyes. Son of a bitch." Darklighter stayed calm as he pretended to be Vulcan, hoping Kite wouldn't call his bluff. "If you call in more Angels, Darklighter would just teleport out of here and blow the town, killing us both. If it's just us, we can find him faster. Darklighter remembered what happened the last time Angels found him. Now, he was ready for anything.

Kite sighed, somewhat chuckling to himself. Leaving his jacket in the room as a decoy was brilliant, meanwhile he was still in the house while Darklighter was panicking and running for the armory. He saw the door to the office fly off in front of him, then sighed. He picked up his cell and dialed a few quick numbers.
"Dispatch, do you read me?" Kite asked into the phone.
"Hello, Kite, what do you need?" replied a very bright and cheery voice on the other end.
"I realize we're down on men, but are there any in my area that could give me a hand out here?" Kite asked the operator, making sure to be discreet enough not to rouse anyone that would enter.
"Searching..." The operator trailed off for a second, "I have a squad of three elites registered to Codename REM2 in the area, but that's it."
Kite grimaced to himself as he thought how this could turn out.
Great, I get to deal with that pain in a the ass...
He sighed, "What do they have armaments-wise...?"
"Well, according to this they had a sutherland unit out there, but it got recalled. And according to my screem, only the captain is reamaining, the other two signals haven't moved in the last 10 minutes. The squad could be under attack..." The operator said.
Kite sighed again, "Message the captain, tell him my coordinates and send him this way. "
He closed the phone and walked over to Vulcan who had passed out. He quickly slipped a pill down Vulcan's throat.
That can get him going in another half hour, but that's still too long...And I need to distract Darklighter, but I can't fight him in an armory, plus he uses guns. I'm going to have to level the playing field...
His gunblades came to his hands as he quickly ran out to the trees and climbed back to the top of one on the edge of the tree line.
Now I can see what he does and wait for my chance... _______________
Elsewhere in the forest.
"Who the hell was able to take out two elites and decimate this much forest in one battle...?" said Jin as he surveyed the battlefield from the earlier fight against Darkseid, "Dragonheart...if you did this I won't rest until I haul you in myself..."
He began to walk towards the exit when his phone rang.
"Hello"
"This is dispatch. We received a priority 1 call from staff due east of your location. You are needed there immediately..." Said the operator from earlier.
"Who is the reporter...?" Jin asked as he began to run in the appropriate direction.
"McKnights..." the operator trailed off as if to expect Jin's response.
"So that son of a bitch finally bit off more than he could chew..." Jin said as he trailed off.
He closed the phone and increased his pace.
Regardless of my standing towards McKnights, this could have something to do with what happened here...

Akanyara's foosteps fell quietly on the streets of the town she walked through. Her shadow, nonexistant under normal circumstances, fell just beneath her feet. This was her protection in a new place, and she was glad to have it while she nursed the burns on her face. Meanwhile, walking down the streets of her new home, she sensed danger nearby.
The voices hit her ears before she saw the men, and when she did see them she nearly groaned in annoyance. It was the group from Bunker 47, fighting again. Darklighter was amongst them, she could see that much through his disguise.
A silent sigh escaped her and she stood back to watch them until she was noticed, the shadows hiding her burnt face from view for now. This might be the most excitement she'd seen in quite a while.

Darklighter felt the presence of another person. The person was walking towards them. Shit, Angels. Darklighter saw shadows hiding the person's face. Wait, no. It's my phantom. Cavalry has arrived. Ok, Akanyara is pretty observant. She knows this is me. "Hey Kite, I think I heard somebody in the street." Darklighter felt slightly unnerved, looking and speaking like Vulcan. He hoped the real one would stay invisible while he ambushed Kite. He PM'd Akanyara. I look like that annoying kid from Bunker 47. You know, the one that tried sniping me. We need to kill Kite. I think I heard him call in Angels, but I've an idea. -Reaper Darklighter estimated that he had 20 minutes to kill Kite. More than enough. He knew he'd grew stronger fighting Darkseid, and that Kite was a walk in the park by comparison.

(OOC: The last of his nanobots got blown to bits with the bullets, and his armor took the rest of them. Besides, you just killed him, and he won't be respawning for some while now...)
Indescribable pain flooded his head, and blood spurted out from his neck, making one hell of a mess. Kent sighed and thought to himself Well, for a first death, that was unpleasant. That Darklighter person is on hell of a sadist... A time bar appeared in front of him. Respawning in 30 minutes. Kent groaned. Aww, fucking hell! This will take a while. Fucking sadist...Who the heck anyways in their right minds sets a respawn time to half an hour? And I've homework, too! One of these days I ought to leave a comment to the staff...

Kite watched Darklighter move about the streets.
My only chance here is to pick a fight and try to get him to stop thinking...
He quickly descended from the trees as he landed in the middle of the town behind Darklighter. Both his gunblades were in his hands as he held one of them up to 'Vulcan's neck in the middle of the town.
"You know, I never did get a good shot at you earlier. From the look of it you had one hell of a rumble in the woods. Now i'm going to give you two options here. A. You make this easy and let me and the boy go before this place starts crawling with staff. B. You make this a hell of a lot harder than it needs to be and actually try to fight me."
He dropped his sword and flipped over Darklighter; he held both of the sword forward as they pointed at Darklighter.
"So is this gonna be easy...or is this gonna be trouble?"
He could sense Darklighter's power level.
He's my level combat-wise... Maybe i'll have to fight this one full force...Hurry the hell up, Jin... _____
15 minutes away
Don't do anything stupid McKnights. Just follow procedure for once and stall... Jin thought to himself as he ran in the direction, keeping his pace up.

Akanyara's head was burst into by the message Darklighter had sent her. She winced slightly at the urgency of it, but quickly took note of what he needed from her. A soft nod to herself, and she slipped back into the shadows, far away from the battle. Kneeling down, she stroked the ground that her shadow formed on and whispered softly to them in a motherly tone, "We go to fight again Kedo Aki. This is our place, come to me." With all the suddenness of a bird leaping into flight, she stood, threw her arms to the side, her had back, and howled to the heavens, all of her soul poured into a song that chilled even her skin.
After a brief moment that seemed to last an eternity, her shadow began to form a creature she knew well. The giant black wolf formed as it stepped toward her and there it stopped, at her side, red eyes blazing. The shadows of its pelt twisted in the air like a dance, and made him all the more frightening.
Ceasing her howl, Akanyara placed one hand on the wolf's head and then sprinted forward with him at her side. Slowing as they reached the edge of where the men spoke, she let her demonic side take over, her voice holding a low and growling echo as the words left her lips, "Gentlemen, please, you might have at least waited for me before you started this."

Darklighter grinned as he shifted back to his normal form. "We meet again Kite." Darklighter looked down and brushed some dirt off his lab coat. Kite's gunblade rested against throat. Darklighter felt a trickle of blood run down his neck. He swallowed, extended his arm blades, then pushed both of them upwards, blocking Kite's blade. "Your friend is dead. I killed him. This is my home. You came here, tried prying open my secrets, and then get mad when I protect myself. I wanted to rebuild the alliance between the staff and The Order of the Silver Star, but you guys just can't let it go. I'm not the first Reaper, and I'm not some power hungry fascist. I wish to end the Schism, right here, right now." Darklighter turned and faced Kite. He knew he'd made a mistake, telling him about TOSS, but the Order would have trouble surviving another Angel assault. Darklighter looked over at Akanyara. Another soul committed to the Order. Anther person that could die, another friend to mourn. Darklighter stood up straight and spoke. "Well Kite McKnights, make your move. We could help each other or we could both kill each other. Your call." Even though Darklighter wanted to hurt the staff bastard, he knew that working with the staff was best for the guild. He hoped Kite made the right choice.

Kite sighed,"I couldn't care less about your little band of assassins. Rather, that device you have is the issue; that thing is illegal in every way possible. I wasn't rooting through your files for nothing. I wanted to know how that thing worked, and try to figure out how you got one. Were it not for that thing I would have left you the hell alone. And then there's the boy..."
Kite trailed off for a second, clenching the blades tighter in his hands, "He was worried that you were alright, and you responded by killing him in cold blood..."
He looked up at Darklighter,"Granted, I understand that you just want your order to survive to another day, and i'm fine with that, it's the device you wear around your arm that's the problem. Now i'm more than happy to make all of this go away if you just give me the device, better yet, destroy it right now, then the angel assault that could destroy you and your order would go away, and it would be like none of this ever happened."
He twirled his blade, "Think of it, you'd be free to do whatever you want; i'd even destroy any data collected on you or your friends just to sweeten the deal, but I can't make you do anything. Your call, destory the device and bring prosperity, or choose brutality and end with suffering."
______ 5 minutes away
"Just a little longer..." Jin trailed off as he continued his pace. He would be there by the time any major battle started if Kite followed procedure for once in his career.

OOC: BD, you need to acknowledge your fellow roleplayers or not roleplay at all. You've done this before and it's getting kind of ridiculous. I don't care if he's staff or not, but a large wolf, a howl, and a person speaking directly to you two is something that simply cannot be ignored in a roleplay post.

Akanyara's eyes scanned the situation, her irritation at being ignored pulsing through her veins and fueling her desire to step forward in a more aggressive manner. She took in a deep breath, closed her eyes for a long moment and let the feeling sink in, let it flow through every inch of her body. It was good to feel angry, her body thrived on the feeling. She opened her eyes, a new color held in them rather than their usual dark grey. A redish purple color was now sustained there, hate and fury all pushed into that small space and forcing them to become a quite frightening sight.
A low snarl spurred the wolf forward, her voice coming forth once again, "Unhand my leader, or face my fangs." The wolf lunged forward, his paws aiming directly for the man's shoulders to knock him away from Darklighter and pin him to the ground. Then Akanyara herself came out of the shadows, though the burned half of her face was still hidden from view, and stood before them. Sword drawn, in a half crouch, she glared furiously at Kite and spoke again, "Unhand my friend."

OOC: I get it, I get it.
Kite looked over to his blindside. He hadn't heard the voice at first, but the howl and wolf flying at him looked pretty clear to him. He fell to the ground as the wolf pinned him. He watched her draw her sword as well.
"How pleasant, the goth and her bag of rabies..."
Damnit, Jin, where are you!?
He quickly angled his elbow towards the wolf's face and charged a shining finger. He fired it at the wolf, quietly hoping that it would really spook and hurt the animal just out of his own personal spite.
As Kite was busy gaining his stance back, another voice suddenly called out to the mercenaries,"As much as I'd love to see you whale on McKnights, he's my coworker and you guys have some questions to answer..."
It was Jin, after all this time, as he walked up directly in front of Akanyara, Kite, and Darklighter. He sighed as he looked at the scene and shook his head as he reached for his katana.
"This is hardly fair, two mercs and a wolf against one person...regardless, you guys are still mercs, and according to my data, Silver Star remnants, and if memory serves you're still under suspicion of high treason."
He finally took his ready stance,"You're not doing much to help your case by the looks of this."
Kite called out,"Now you show up...after they killed Vulcan. Watch out for the man, he has a hacking device."
Jin suddenly bared his teeth and managed to choke out, "Oh really...that changes quite a bit...why, by that math, I'd be allowed to use LETHAL force then wouldn't I?"
"I'm no handbook junkie, but from the look of this yeah. I mean, their legality and profession are already sketchy, throw those factors in and you have full authorization." Kite responded.
"Well then, it's a shame Laevatein's in the shop, but I can still fight...!" Jin said as he charged the wolf with a sweeping slash to keep it away as Kite made his move to get up.

Aurum, who had been watching the battle pan out, finally decided the time to aid the reaper had come. Emerging from the shadows, twirling his silver knife, Aurum nonchalantly asked him master, "Need me to help tip the scales of fate"?

Darklighter gave a deep smile. His guild mates had saved him. "No Aurem, let's give Mr. Mcknights the PEHD. And Akanyara, we will let this one rest. How about some answers for him, Eh? Well, Kite, here it is. Take it, document it, then destroy it. Have fun. OH, you there, the smart one. Here's a history lesson. I killed the first Reaper, the treasonous one. We fragged him because of that whole fiasco. Then Sturm, who you now have, tried killing the Chief. I believe the first Reaper filled out that hit. Now I wish to end the Schism. You can help me with that. We can all be friends. Oh, and we're not mercs. Mercs fight. We kill." Darklighter unstrapped the PEHD and handed it to Kite. "Well everybody, your call. Fight and die, or live long and prosper. Oh, and Kite, I'm sorry about killing Vulcan, but he led the Angels here. He was a threat. And he attacked first. Again, I'm sorry." With Sturm: Sturm walked down the main street, smiling. He had Cool Fire again, and he'd finally found Darklighter. "Ah, my favorite Phantom. How are you? I see you have friends. Hi people." Sturm drew his sword and smiled. "So, let's get this party started." Darklighter again: Darklighter's head spun. "OH SHIT. YOU RAT BASTARD!" Darklighter shifted his focus to Sturm. "I'm not your dog. I'm the Reaper, your nothing. Leave this place." Darklighter forgot about Jin, Kite, Aurem, and Akanyara. Sturm was here, and Darklighter could tell this would be bad.
