That made me lol. Thanks Silent~ That was awesome.

IC: Isabella was so busy that she barely heard Adele's voice and when she did, she eagerly snatched the communicator out of her pocket, she was about to respond when a fuzzy crackling sound blared from the device. "Curses!" she yelled throwing the communicator across the room. "CAPTAIN!! Where the heck are you?!" she hollered, not expecting a reply. She hurled herself around the engine room as it came to life, faster and faster.

"Where are you guys?" she whispered.

[rocklobster]

Kevin heard the commotion caused by Denkou. "Hey, what was that?" he walked over to the boxes and started looking for the source.

[Diamond Dragon]

ooc: Nevermind.

[Atria35]

Kevin heard the commotion caused by Denkou. "Hey, what was that?" he walked over to the boxes and started looking for the source.

OOC: Rocky, we aren't in the ship yet. We're going to free Adele. We're still in the wherever place looking for her. So, uh, you can't be looking for the stowaway.

IC: Nia fired the last of her rounds into the goons and made her way past them. There. That seemed like the right door. She shot the lone guard that had been set- apparently, the others had supposed to be the failsafes. She gave a nasty grin. That hadn't worked out well for them, had it?

Kicking open the door, she saw Adele and two more men. She was being manhandled by one, and it looked like she could use some help.

Could the people they'd been negotiating with really have hired this many people or kept them in their employ? Whatever. She ducked and rolled as they set their guns on her, and as their shots missed, hers got one down. Nia made sure to aim for the one that didn't have a hold on Adele- she didn't want to hurt her. The other that was holding Adele let go for a brief second to shoot. The bullet gouged her thigh, but maybe it had left an opening for Adele to slip away.....

[Davidizer13]

The door they were at flew open with a twisting snap behind Nia's feet. Almost immediately, she had tumbled into the room; Truce hung back at the doorway, wincing at the fusillade of shots. His heavy clearly knew what she was doing, and getting in her way would probably be detrimental to his health. He peeked in for a moment, and saw one of the guards on the floor. The other...well, the other was doing his best to keep a hold on his business partner, Adele. Unthinkable! "Your superior will be hearing about this! I don't appreciate having my associate treated in this way..." he yelled in a fit of self-righteousness. Turning to Marshal, who he still had a hold on, he continued. "I must assure you, sir, this is the first ti...er, I mean, things like this happen very rarely! Please don't let it reflect on our future dealings."

Raven whirled around at Denkou's voice, finding the point of a katana edging closer to her face. She threw up her hands and dropped the fire extinguisher, which was still gently spraying its chemicals, onto the intruder she had just subdued. She swallowed, studying the new attacker: a girl, not much younger than she was, with...was her eye red? "Who...who are you?" asked Raven, quietly. If there were two strangers on board, there could be more than that outside...

She checked a mirror on the wall to see behind her. So far, she was clear. That's when she saw her swords, laying just a couple feet to the right, on the ground beside the would-be thief, coated in fire retardant. If she could just hook her foot around the belt, she could have a chance.

[Seto_Sora]

Felix' eyes shot open. Where was he? He had been unconscious, that much he knew for certain. Next he noticed he was in extreme pain. He tried to look around, but with every movement the pain only intensified. There was something wet on his face. He tried remembering what happened. His head throbbed. He looked again around him to see only that he was laying on the floor. He put his hand out to raise himself, setting it in a thick warm liquid. He looked down to see... it was blood. Specifically, it was his blood coming from several gaping wounds in his side. He then remembered.
Felix had thrown himself to the ground in a useless effort to reach Nia before the goons in the hallway did. Stuck with nowhere to go and no cover, the gunmen sprayed their death into the pilot. That was the last he remembered before the pain in his head. Felix, raising himself somewhat and resting against the wall, rested his aching head in his right palm. The other arm was completely limp. It was at this moment that Felix realized something terrible; he could no longer see out of his left eye.
Felix was in a panic. The whole of his left face was covered in blood. Death he could welcome gladly, but to be blind in one eye. This would ruin him as a pilot. He was nothing; less than nothing. How could he ever face him if he could not face him in the battlefield of the clouds? How could he ever avenge his murdered sister!? Felix was in a panic. Anything would have been better. Death would have been better.
Gun shots. Felix was quickly brought to the situation at hand. He was in a bad way, but now his friends could be worse. He quickly looked around, there was no one in sight. He struggled to his feet to make his way towards the door from whence came the goons, "Nia must have finished them," he said looking down at the bodies. Felix held his limp arm and made his way toward the door.
"Your superior will be hearing about this! I don't appreciate having my associate treated in this way..."
He heard the voice of the captain but it seemed to fade. Before reaching the door he tried to cry out, "Capta..." The word stuck in his throat. The world swam and Felix fell unconscious to the floor.

[AtmosBreak]

The soft roaring of a motorcycle filled the streets amongst the sounds of the streets and markets. The markets were seemingly open all day and all night, no matter the day, no matter the weather, that's one thing he loved about it but knew he would hate if he ever had to work there. It wasn't all that crowded but it was still relatively difficult to drive through the stalls. However he still needed to make one quick stop before he would have to visit that man.

It had taken awhile but he had finally earned enough to pay off his main debtor. He should've been able to pay him back a week ago but urgh that man was just such a... he'd better not finish of that sentence, if whatever his grandma told him was true. If there was such a God that looked out for his children then why was the world as it was? Well no use pondering such things, just pay back this debt then he was gone, out of Treyard and... just somewhere else, anywhere else. Maybe he'd join one of these 'crews' he had been hearing quite a bit about.

Reaching the warehouse, he was making an unexpected visit but come on, who wouldn't like being payed back. However could one ever truly prepare for the sight that awaited him? Driving through slowly, the place was littered with blood and bodies, what happened here? That sounded like such a stupid question as a few gunshots echoed from inside in perfect timing. A fee gunshots sounded. Unsure what to do, JP jumped of his bike and ventured inside.

[Nami]

Gabriel looked around, Raven had been startled by.. a girl? he blinked, who was that? 'Great, two new people.' he thought, if this ship held anymore people, they would have to sleep ontop of each other. Gabriel already had a cramped cot in a room with two other people.

He turned around facing the other assailant when he heard his sister screaming in rage. He shook his head, this was no time for her to be losing her temper. Gabriel re-focused his eyes on the man he had attacked. "Well, I can't wait around." He grabbed a heavy-weight length of metal rope (not really rope) and wrapped the man up securely, then he slammed the locker room door shut and locked it and placed a metal pole through the handle to keep it shut.

"Don't open that." He commanded Raven, he glanced briefly at the girl and ran toward the engine room.

"What's wrong?" he called.

"Nothing! Just our idiot Captain has gone and probably gotten in trouble, dragging Felix in no doubt." Isabella shouted.

Gabriel sighed, "well what do you want to do?"

"I don't know, the engine is ready to take off, but we have no PILOT!" she screeched, running around the room in a way that showed she was worried. Gabriel rolled his eyes, "I can sort've pilot it..." he mumbled.

"What?"

"I CAN SORT'VE PILOT IT!" he shouted. Which wasn't usual, he only raised his voice when his sister seemed hard of hearing. Isabella stared at him with her odd eyes, "Then why are you still here?! Take this piece of junk off the port and fly her to where the meeting was."

Gabriel gaped, "are you nuts? The captain and Felix would murder me."

Isabella fixed her brother with her coldest stare, "If you do not, do something, besides stand there and bother me, I will take this wrench and beat your skull in. If our Captain is in trouble, most likely he won't be running back to the plane, especially if the rest of the crew is injured. Now, do you want to held save them or not?"

Gabriel's mouth snapped shut and he gritted his death, "I prefer angry words over wrenches." he ran back toward the front of the plane and sat down in the pilot seat. "Forgive me Captain, Felix." he placed his hands on the controls, gulped and hoped he could remember those classes he had taken so very long ago.

[Atria35]

Nia heard Felix as he came towards the door. She remembered him coming to help, ducking onto the floor... she'd assumed he was fine, and had missed most of the fire. But when she risked a glance towards him and saw him fall, she paled. "Felix!" she called, scared for him. He was covered in blood. How had she missed that?! Nia felt like an idiot. She started hoping that help would arrive, soon, because as it was....

[Diamond Dragon]

Raven whirled around at Denkou's voice, finding the point of a katana edging closer to her face. She threw up her hands and dropped the fire extinguisher, which was still gently spraying its chemicals, onto the intruder she had just subdued. She swallowed, studying the new attacker: a girl, not much younger than she was, with...was her eye red? "Who...who are you?" asked Raven, quietly. If there were two strangers on board, there could be more than that outside...

She checked a mirror on the wall to see behind her. So far, she was clear. That's when she saw her swords, laying just a couple feet to the right, on the ground beside the would-be thief, coated in fire retardant. If she could just hook her foot around the belt, she could have a chance.

"Just a person who was hoping to get out of this place as fast as possible." answered Denkou. "Now don't try any funny buisiness."

[Davidizer13]

"Funny...business?" remarked Raven. She inched closer to the belt, eyeing the sword's point as it gently slid along with her. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you could mean..." Suddenly, the plane bucked to one side, then the other. A piercing drone outside echoed through the cargo hold - the engines had been started up. Who's flying the plane? was her first thought. Had the captain come back? Then why hadn't he seen their intruders? ...Were they being hijacked?

Well, if they were, she reasoned, it was best to go down fighting. Taking advantage of the moment, she ducked to the side and drew her sword out of its sheath, then flipped it up to her wrist. With a yell and a lunge, she swung her katana forward.

[Silent Seraph]

"Don't sweat it, the world is full of trouble these days...this isn't unusual by any stretch of the imagination", Marshal said turning to the goon who held Adele. "I'd suggest you drop the firearm sir, our friend with the tattoos seems to be injured, however I believe she still might be able to squeeze of a round into your interestingly large head."

"Look! she's aiming now..." the goon looked. While he had been talking the scientist had been edging closer to the thug. Unfortunately for him, the side of a .44 magnum is not something pleasant to be struck with upside the head, his unconscious body hit the floor like a wet sock. "I trust ma'am that you were not harmed during the...uhhm...negotiations?

[rocklobster]

OOC: Sorry, Diamond intrigued me. Just ignore that post, Diamond.
"Look, I know you don't trust me, Nia. But I've wised up since my time in the hoosegow. I'm past that point now." said Kevin. "In fact, I wish I didn't have this tattoo. It would probably make trusting me easier.
OOC again: Just so you know, I'm planning on leaving for a wedding tomorrow. We'll be back on either Monday or Tuesday.

[MomentOfInertia]

Gavin arrived at the fuel depot only to find it abandoned, he was trying to jimmy the lock when he heard the Tiamat's engines firing up.
'Crap no time to refuel I guess we'll improvise, I'd better find the captain before Felix gets chased off the ground or someth'n.'
He thought starting off through the alleyways towards the distant gunfire.

[Nami]

When the plane lifted and titled drastically, Isabella was sent flying across the engine room, where she yelped as something thick spiked into her back.

"What is he doing?!" she muttered, rubbing her bruised back.

Meanwhile, Gabriel pushed buttons until he figured the right points for taking off and then he placed his hands on the steering and lifted off. That's when the ship tilted, because Gabriel hadn't been expecting it to be so heavy and therefore hadn't pulled it up enough, it wobbled and wibbled in the air, probably making its passengers feel every bump and bunking move. Gabriel was trying not to curse as he adjusted the plane accordingly. Once it had steadied he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew.." he grabbed the mic, "this is your... psuedo captain, sorry for that bumping take off, I'm not used to such a heavy ship..." his eyes grew large as he saw another plane coming at him, he grabbed the wheel and yanked it down making the plane do a rapid nose-dive, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" he screamed pulling up as quickly as he could manage. When the plane finally leveled out he sighed, his heart beating fast.

"Now, let's save the Captain." he looked at the map and flew toward the building, that was where the Captain had last been spotted. Below he saw citizens and angry officers staring and some following the plane's progress over the city, it was far to low to the rooves. He winced, they were going to hear about this later. But for now, he had to save the crew.

[Diamond Dragon]

"Funny...business?" remarked Raven. She inched closer to the belt, eyeing the sword's point as it gently slid along with her. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you could mean..."

Well, if they were, she reasoned, it was best to go down fighting. Taking advantage of the moment, she ducked to the side and drew her sword out of its sheath, then flipped it up to her wrist. With a yell and a lunge, she swung her katana forward.

Denkou gasped, and parried the blow, though not without almost losing her balance. I'm no gonna get off this thing, am I? She wondered, when she heard the voice over the speakers. Then she turned and did a lunge of her own at the woman that was attacking her..

[acgifford]

The door they were at flew open with a twisting snap behind Nia's feet. Almost immediately, she had tumbled into the room]

"Don't sweat it, the world is full of trouble these days...this isn't unusual by any stretch of the imagination", Marshal said turning to the goon who held Adele. "I'd suggest you drop the firearm sir, our friend with the tattoos seems to be injured, however I believe she still might be able to squeeze of a round into your interestingly large head."

OOC: Rocky, we aren't in the ship yet. We're going to free Adele. We're still in the wherever place looking for her. So, uh, you can't be looking for the stowaway.

IC: Nia fired the last of her rounds into the goons and made her way past them. There. That seemed like the right door. She shot the lone guard that had been set- apparently, the others had supposed to be the failsafes. She gave a nasty grin. That hadn't worked out well for them, had it?

The other that was holding Adele let go for a brief second to shoot. The bullet gouged her thigh, but maybe it had left an opening for Adele to slip away.....

-Adele-

Suddenly Nia burst through the door of the room. Adele lept out of her seat in fright. The larger goon beside her quickly grabbed her so she couldnt get away. His grip on her was like iron. Un-escapable. Try as she might she couldn't wiggle from his grasp.

Meanwhile, the other gaurd had opened fire on Nia, who evaded his shots. Adele then looked past Nia towards the doorway to see the captain peeking out from the doorframe.

"Truce?!" she said in surprise. Then the good captain started in on telling them to leave her alone.

Just then a young man with red goggles appeared distracting the man from Nia and the Captain allowing Nia could take the shot. Adele felt the jolt as the man was shot in the head and felt with a low thud behind her. She shuddered. She seemed to be frozen to the spot. She barely heard the brown haired man's words.

[Davidizer13]

Truce cautiously stepped to Adele's side, avoiding the fellow who had taken a pistol to the face. "Well done, sir! Well done indeed," he said to Marshal. "Consider yourself truly part of our team!" Then, turning to Adele, "Are you all right? They haven't harmed you, have they? ...Come on, we should discuss this where we won't be shot at." Hearing shouts from outside, he glanced back out at the hallway.

That's when he glimpsed Nia, standing over an injured man and- was that Felix on the ground? He rushed to their side, his thoughts racing. "Felix? Felix! Here, Nia, get his legs; we'll have to carry him back to the plane." He tried to remember as he gripped Felix's arms - which one of the crew was a doctor?

---

"Who are you?" Raven asked again, taking a step to the side to dodge the stowaway's attack. The plane dipped sharply, and the bric-a-brac in the back slid forward, crashing against the wall between the crew space and the cargo hold. She planted her feet the best she could, nearly falling forward as they leveled out.

Her other sword had slid past her and to the nose of the plane, out of play - she mentally cursed her luck. With a flourish of her wrist, she slashed forward at Denkou's sword hand, trying to disarm her assailant.

[AtmosBreak]

It truly wasn't a pretty site. Bodies, trails of blood, gunshots here and there, a deal gone wrong? A police raid? JP had to chuckle a little at that one, the local police around here were just as bad and corrupted as his debtors, their hands deep in each other's pockets. Though he knew not all police were corrupt, just this particular area's. Other side of Treyard, police had it locked down much tighter, where all the richer folk live, just another reason why the markets where so much more populated. Most of, well basically almost everything that happened wasn't exactly perfectly legal, no man was 100% legit, Juan admitted it no matter how hard he tried to go on the straight and narrow, times were tough. Really though, when weren't they?

Stepping over two more bodies, JP Recognized their faces. Rob and Smith, the main two thugs that came to visit him whenever he was late with payments and leave with some 'collateral' as Rob liked to call it. Smith never talked much, Rob was always a loudmouth but was always so mysteriously like. Though they weren't the most likable of characters, he was sure there would be one or two people that might miss em, not that he would though.

Continuing on ahead, he stopped as he noticed a group of people. The gunshots had stopped and he had no idea what exactly happened except for the obvious mass shootout. Feeling around for his knife, he prepared himself to retaliate if he had to, though, only if they struck first. Watching them for awhile more, they were no one he recognized but quite a few of them were injured and bleeding, they didn't exactly look like bad people.

Walking out with his hands clearly visible, yet in a position to quickly swing out his concealed knife, he called out to them. "Hey you guys alright? What happened here?" Perhaps they could get him out of Treyard if he offered to pay them, obviously, there was no need to pay him back anymore. For a split second, JP thought he had heard the faintest of sirens but ue payed no heed, the sound of a plane taking over his ears.

[Diamond Dragon]

"Who wants to know?" retorted Denkou. As the woman tried to slash at her sword hand, she quickly pulled out her other katana, and trapped the woman's blade between her own two.

[Silent Seraph]

"Truce, Nia! Don't move him till I check him out, I have a little bit of medical training, I want to make sure that his spine isn't broken in which case moving him would be a bad idea", said Marshal as JP caught up with the group.

After checking Felix, "Okay, we can move him but be careful, he's lost a lot of blood and his wounds are trying to heal, the bullets seem to have gone through without hitting any bones so we're good there. Unfortunately one did clip an artery and we need a real doctor here, soon."

[Nami]

Gabriel guided the plane over to the storage building, gritting his teeth as the grinding of metal on metal squealed through the plane. The Captain was going to have words with him, he just knew it! But there were more inportant things to worry about, he turned his attention back to the situation as hand, he could hear the police sirens, they would be after them soon. He called down to the engine-room, "Izzie!"

Isabella jolted toward the wall communicator that linked her to the bridge, "YES?"

"I need you to open the cargo hold, and tell me how well I'm getting close to the building."

"Why not just set her down?" Isabella asked, eyes widening as his plan took form in her head, he was insane.

"Because, to set down would be suicide, we have to lift them in as best we can, just tell me when I'm within standing distance of the ground." Gabriel's voice crackled over the com, and Isabella stared for a second, letting it sink in.

"Fine..." she zipped out of the Engine room and flew down to the cargo bay, she noticed the two girls having a stand-off, "You two girls better get somewhere safe! We can deal with fighting and arguing later. Just get back from the hatch!" She ran to the buttons and muttered; "I hope you know what your doing Gabriel." then she pushed the button, releasing the air-locks and yanked down the lever, lowering the plank to the cargo-bay. She gripped ontp the handle by the opening as strong gusts of wind threatened to yank her out of the plane.

"Lower!" she shouted into the communicator by the door. "You're almost there." She squinted and saw the blood leaking out from under the door, "stop!! I'm getting down."

"Izzie! NO!" Gabriel shouted, but it was too late, his sister had already jumped out of the cargo-hold and dropped in a bent position. Slowly, she took out her wrench and walked toward the building--noting the abandoned motorcycle-- she gripped the door, took a deep breath and slide it aside quickly. What she saw was not what she expected, dead-bodies, none of which were her crew members, she checked them all. Fear seized her and she felt like a hand was around her heart, squeezing it so tightly that she could barely gasp a breath.

Making sure to slow down her gasps, she breathed easier and walked toward the sounds coming farther away. When she heard the Captain's voice, she threw caution to the wind and rushed around the bend. There they were, two strangers and her shipmates.

"Captain!" she shouted, running toward them, "what's happened to Felix? What happened period!? Nevermind" she waved her hand, "Gabriel's got the plane outside, we need to go! NOW!" she looked at them, "the cops are on their way."

[Atria35]

((OOC: Rocky asked me to take over Kevin temporarily. Gonna do that)

Kevin turned to address the newcomer that was out in the bodies, watching them as they congregated over their injured shipmate. He'd asked whether they needed any help, and they did, but at the same time this guy was in a position to attack them. "Yeah. We need help getting to the ship. This guy- our pilot- was hurt. Think you can help get us there?"
----

Nia took her position at Felix's feet at Truce's command, then paused and waited worriedly as Marshall checked him out. Guilt at not realizing the extent of his injuries ate at her. She was also angry that he'd been stupid enough to practically throw himself in front of the goons. Nia knew that as a navigator, she was decently replaceable. As it was they had another person capable of doing her job. Piloting, though, was a different matter. If he died from this, she'd never forgive herself, both for being one of the ones Felix had been trying to protect and for losing someone so valuable!

So when Marshall gave the okay, she grasped Felix's legs to lift him with the captain. Nia hoped they'd be able to get to a doctor in time.

[Davidizer13]

"I want to know!" yelled Raven, giving the intruder's chest a vicious kick to break free. She followed it with a flurry of blows, hopefully driving her back towards the cargo door, which had been opened to the air. Just below lay the ground; they were close enough to see the surprised faces of people below as they looked up at the low-flying plane. Loose cargo straps rattled like wind chimes against the fuselage, barely audible over the roar of the wind and the engines. "I'm here to protect this plane, and I'm not going to stop until I'm sure it's safe!" she shouted, with a ferocity she didn't expect.

---

The crew moved out of the warehouse, as quickly as they could with Felix in tow. "A real doctor..." Truce thought, mulling over Marshal's assessment. He tried to remember if he had met a good one in Treyard - good in this case meaning someone he could pay off to be quiet.

An approaching roar broke his chain of thought - he looked up to see a familiar silhouette cut through the air, the black serpents on its nose gleaming in the sun. "Oh, for... Who's flying my plane?" Stunned, he watched as it buzzed the clearing they were in, and someone jumped out of the back door! Out the back cargo door, flying around at goodness knows how fast! It was Isabella, of all people, screaming in panic about the police and Gabriel...Gabriel! "You aren't serious; your brother is flying my plane? ...Ne-never mind. Where's he going to land?" He cringed at the thought of that one trying to put down somewhere. "We've had a change of plans, and we need to be back in the air."

[Nami]

She spotted the Captain's horror and knew she would have to take the blame for Gabriel driving the plane. She cringed. "Sorry sir! It was our only option." she shouted over the plane, "He said he wasn't going to set down! But he better do it." She glanced to the sky where she saw the plane circling. She waved her arms wildly and shouted.

---

Gabriel glanced down and saw the bouncing up and down of his sister, then he spotted the small group next to her. "Oh, Captain! He's safe." Relief made him at ease, but his tension soon returned when he realized he would have to set down.

"Well... here goes... everything." he took the plane around twice before deciding where to put it, several yards from the group, he was too scared to land close by, in case he accidentally killed one of them. The plane shuddered and roared with complaint as he finally managed to make it stop, it half-way turned as he did so.

Sweat poured down his face and he put on the brake, his legs like jelly, he forced himself to stand and walk down to the cargo-bay. He noticed the two fighting girls, "Raven?" he called, ducking as a sword came near him. "Geez." he ran down to the cargo-plank.

"Captain!" he shouted, then noticed Felix, terror swept over him like a bucket of ice water. "Felix." He rushed down the back and toward the group. "What happened?!" he asked.

Isabella glared, "ask him later! We need to get Felix on board."

[acgifford]

Truce cautiously stepped to Adele's side, avoiding the fellow who had taken a pistol to the face. "Well done, sir! Well done indeed," he said to Marshal. "Consider yourself truly part of our team!" Then, turning to Adele, "Are you all right? They haven't harmed you, have they? ...Come on, we should discuss this where we won't be shot at." Hearing shouts from outside, he glanced back out at the hallway.

Just then the Captain appeared beside her showing concern for her well being. Her heart skipped a few beats. H-he cares? Maybe i should'nt be so hard on him. she thought. She tried to answer him, but was interrupted as Truce decided it better if they escaped being shot. Truce then noticed Felix, their dear pilot, was injured. He rushed over to Felix's side and grabbed his arm. He then attempted to carry Felix with Nia. As they did this, the man with the red goggles said he had a bit of medical training and gave his acessment on Felix's condition. His acessment did not sound good at all.
They then raced as fast as they could dragging Felix with them to the tarmac to find that the Gabriel and Izzy had already took off and were flying above them. Adele searched Truce's face wondering if he was going to blow or not. Not yet at least. He only cringed a little.

Denkou's breath was knocked out of her when Raven kicked her chest, and she stumbled back slightly. Then she was attcked with numerous blows which she did her best to evade, but it drove her closer to the open cargo door. Denkou desided to make a risk and she leapt up and buried one katana in a box and swinging to the other side of it, accidently kicking her apponent's face in the process.

OOC: I'm back. Hope this is the right thing to do.
Kevin noticed Denkou. "Hey, I didn't see you check in. You must be a stowaway. Well, this isn't the time or place, so, you okay?"
