"Well...I will have to change my appearance before we go..."

Alytar pondered for a moment, and his appearance lickered and all of the sudden he was a 5'10" human black hair with wire rimmed glasses, wearing a hawiian shirt and Khakis.

And we go to... RED LOBSTER

" I will have the All you can eat shrimp... and, um... you may want to tell the other customers that you are out of them" Alytar said with a chuckle

Sorry to burst the party, but I'm getting into this in a hard to ignore way now

When they reached the restaurant, Wraith held the door open for Mancer and walked over to the booth.

A waitress came up and took their orders. When she left Wraith spoke.

"So what type of Network are we talking about patching here? How big is it, how many different nodes are there, that sort of thing."
"Well, our network is fairly large. It's infrastructure stretches across many continents - we have several nodes. One of which is based in the DC Area. Its designed to be remotely accessable by our personnel, yet secure enough to prevent outside intrusion. However, it seems that it has already been compromised at least once - that is why we are coming to you."
"Anything else?" Mancer asked sweetly.

An aging Volvo stopped a block and a half down a side street, pulling into a parallel parking space. The windows of the restaurant where easily visible to Hidekazu as he stepped out of the car, drivers side facing the sidewalk, the car facing away. His informant was right; the Wraith was there, meeting with someone. Probably from one of the more organized institutions he thought. Too bad, PRID might not have been interested in my services, but Wraith is getting too high profile to be good for competition. He popped the trunk, leaving the car running and door open. He looked around, no one as close enough to get his face. He withdrew an RPG-45 rocket launcher, rebuilt in his workshop with a four power optical sight and delayed action HE-FRAG warhead. Thermobaric would have better, but lacked the vital reliability for this mission.

The rocket launched, three seconds later it pierced the restaurant window above Wraith's head, his heighten hearing having just alerted him to the screech of the incoming weapon, vital time that would save his life and that of Mancer, barely as the rocket explode behind the counter, its sides redirecting the blast and fragments, most of them anyway.

Hidekazu was already speeding away from the failed attack. He cursed himself, knowing he'd failed without even seeing the smoke clear. The Wraith was now alerted, the dual would be on. But for now he would concentrating on escaping, it was only a few blocks to his first dump point, and his second car, then three more to his real vehicle.

"Hey, I paid for my fill of shrimp... "

"Um... how many do you want to start with?"

"I think 100 for an appetizer would be good... and cn you bring some of that yummy cheese bread?"

the waitress backed away slowly... and then into the kitchen.

His head shaking in his hands, Hank waved for a spare waiter to get him a coke.

Wraith heard the missle inbound. He 'ported over to Mancer, grabbed her and 'ported out of there. Once he reappeared he saw a car driving away quickly.

"Well Mancer it seems someone is after you. Or me. By the way, I accept your offer." With that Wraith 'ported to his car and started the engine. He started to drive away, when his heightened sense he heard a ticking sound. Wraith 'ported out of his car just as it exploded. 'Well that answer the question of who the attack was at.'

As Ragam sat in his seat he heard a voice trying to enter his head. He shut off entry to his mind. Only bits and pieces of the voice could be heard.

"Raga... Hel... s" the voice sounded very distant but it was drowing out all other noise around him

"E... can... yo" The voice was getting closer. Ragam looked around him but there was nothing but people. He consentrated on keeping it out but The voice was very seductive... calling him to it. It was getting stronger and closer it seemed.

"agam" the voice tried to get thru, it sounded so familiar to him. Now everything in the room was mute except for the voice. He still couldn't see anything but there was something drawing him. He got up out of his seat and walked out into the street. He looked around just people...

"Something is out there" ragam told himself and with that thought he blazed off

Marcus watched the technicians with that crazy grin on his face, if he couldn't kill anybody he could at least scare the shit out of them, and even the gaurds with their weapons were nervous, a few had even fired on the cell when Marcus had creeped them out enough. He would laugh as the glass easily took the bullets, then go back to rocking back and forth in his cage. Marcus spun around and then came to a stop facing the technicians behind their shield.

"So how are we doing today doctors? Still pissing your pants afraid that I'll get out? Oh the things I could do to you with the things in here, for instance did you know that it is possible to..." Marcus stopped as an electric shock coursed through his body.

"Alright that's enough Marcus, we don't need to hear about your stories of death again. Are you enjoying all the tests we are administering?"

"Oh they're just great, I'm learning stuff about myself that I'd never known before." Marcus smiled and the gaurds present got a little uneasy. "Don't worry Doc, I like you. When I get out of here I'll kill you quick and painless."

The doctor laughed and looked over his notes again. "Oh I don't think you'll be getting out of there for a long long time Mr. Jones, why don't you take another nap?"

Marcus smirked at the doctor, Marcus was learning new things about himself indeed... That was his last thought as the gas entered his cell once again and put him asleep in a few seconds.

Nick slowly increased the radius of his barrier, making sure all the toxin was getting pushed out of his body. It was a good thing he always kept a basic barrier on during battle, the second good thing was Handy's toxin was applied by contact to skin, which meant Nick could push out the toxin easier. Green liquid began flowing out of his mouth and hand, the numbness was fading. Nick kept increasing the barrier, gently including the bubble, then by shifting the barrier he moved the bubble out of the building. Then with a sudden flare the bubble burst, barely knocking him down.

Twelve shadows surrounded Nick. Handy, Rokej, and ten other people holding all kinds of weapons and with all kinds of looks, sizes. Obviously the Templars of the Cult.

"Impressive Mr. Northwind." They closed in.

Nick crackled his knuckles and prepared.

1 hr. later

Senator Patine crouched on the sofa trembling. Sweat dripped from his forehead and his hair was untidy due to him grabbing and scratching it. His Knights and Priests as well as armed Cult members were seen everywhere in the place. He was now the prey of many. An hour ago the Templars were exterminated by Nick Northwind.

Half an hour ago word came out he was related to the DC attack.

Fifteen minutes ago agents from all kinds of facilities like PRID, FBI, CIA....began tearing the city to get him.

Ten minutes ago the Cult leaders ordered him for his rapture.

--------------------------

Nick checked his bank account and smiled. With some more money he could buy the required material to construct the cassette, after that, the next step was to access the PRID...

"Hello? Anybody home?" Drake's voice pulled Nick back to reality, "I think after all this work we need a rest. You've been quite out of focus recently."

"Hmmph," Nick said as he checked his PDA, "looks like lots of job offers were taken while we were busy, this 'Mancer' lady is sure pushing the PRID. We might be hearing from her soon." He took a deep breath.

They entered the van, and left the facility to find some sleep.

Ragam had been traveling for a few days. He was in a mountain area, He had been to it a couple of times before but last time he was by himself... this time he knew he wasn't alone. As he stood at the mouth of a cave he had been to before he felt that something or someone was waiting for him inside. The voice that was trying to talk to him earlier had all but stopped but some how he was drawn to this particular cave. As he walked it he increase to his normal size. Although the Cave was completely dark he could see a bright white shimmering light deep within the cave. He walked until he came within a few feet away of a the light. Soon a ghost appeared before Ragam

"Hello Ragam" the ghost's voice boomed and echoed through out the cave "We have been waiting for you for sometime"

"What do you want?" Ragam said

"We know who you are, we know that you do not belong to this plane of existence" The ghost said as he dance around the bright light that just floated there, although it wasn't very big it seemed to be getting bigger "We can help you get back to your home Ragam of Kamus"

Ragam's heart dropped to his stomach. He hadn't heard that word spoken by anyone for over 1000 years. His mind raced with thoughts of his homeland that he missed so much. Ragam kept a poker face and opened his mouth to speak

"Why should i believe you ghost and even if you speak the truth nothing is without it's price. What do you want from me?" Ragam said folding his arms.

"Freedom" the Ghost's boomed again

"Freedom? How can I provide that to you?” Ragam said with doubt

“There is a creature in our dimension of terrible hunger. A hunger for us… our energy. It is devouring us. We have been trying to escape and this dimension, this planet some how repels the creature. It also repels us but we are have been trying to adapt and have had little success because we do not have enough energy from our world to sustain us.”

“Where do I come in?” Ragam said

“Your body… it is some how resistant to our bodies. Even now I am having a hard time staying this close to you. With your awesome strength and body you can open this gate” the ghost said pointing to the light “ If you can rip the fabric of space wide enough then we will have the energy we need to survive.”

“Why don’t I believe you? This seems very convenient. What about me what about sending me back”

“If you open your mind to me I can reveal the truth” the ghost stated but Ragam shook his head no.

“I think not ghost. If you were powerful enough to draw me here don’t trust what you could do to me if I let down my defenses”

The ghost didn’t say anything but it moved to one side and waved its ghostly hands. Suddenly a visual appeared before Ragams eyes. It was his homeland, Kamus, the mere sight of it swelled his eyes with tears. He saw the lush forests and Jungles that he us to call home. He reached out to touch it but the visual disappeared has his hand connected with it.

“You see Ragam, we have no intention of lying to you, we want a new home just has you want to go home”
Ragam took a step forward towards the light as his mind was overcome with emotions. Each step made the light dance brighter and more violently. He could feel his body rejecting the light. He took another step and it was unlike any force that he had gone against, it was pushing him back hard so he pushed harder. He finally got close enough to stick both his hands into light. The gate let out an awesome roar that hurt his ears, He winced in pain

“That’s it Ragam! Push hard, think of your home and your family. They are watching you right now” the ghost said

Ragam felt the light burning him as it violently licked his body but he pressed on trying to open the gate. Then he increased his mass to get more strength, he grew and grew and the light spread like wild fire over the cave.

“Keep going…Yesssssss” the ghosts voice had changed from the warm boom to an evil hiss. Ragam hear it and turned his head to see the ghost, it was not the same creature that he had been talking to. He had made a mistake

thecreech · Post by **thecreech** » 2004-01-29 10:57pm

Ragam stood in the light and he tried to close the rift but it was to late and a blast of light hit him hard. He stammered backwards as the rift kept opening till it had engulfed that entire section of the cave. Ghosts started to pour through it and attacked Ragam. He was barely able to defend himself as opening the rift had weakened him.

“YOU LIAR! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS” Ragam roared as he threw the ghosts off of him.

“Ragam I did not lie about everything” the ghost chuckled “ The fact of the matter is that we need a new home, There is creature devouring our race, fact of the matter is that I told you the truth on just about everything, We can send you home but we won’t because it will take to long. You are a casualty in our war what you just did will allow us to open other portals to this planet”

Ragam was being backed out of the cave. He could no longer fight, he was tired and his skin felt like it was on fire. He would retreat for now and bring back someone that he knew would be able to help him get revenge… and with that thought he launched himself into the air

Hank was just about to head out to the dinner appointment when the mother of all apparition alerts hit the nest. Quickly the Heroes, every last one of them, were en-route to its source, as a final act before Hank put the plane into over-drive he sent a message to proffessor Alytar "Mother of All Apparition Hordes coming through, PRID too fucking incompetent to fix it, help would be nice."

Mancer had just felt the rocket incoming, and barely turned her head around to see what it was before Wraith grabbed her and pinned her down as the rocket flew inches overhead. It exploded behind the counter, and most of the deadly fragments were deflected away. Wraith grabbed her and teleported away, presumably to a safe place.

"Well Mancer, it seems someone is after you. Or me. By the way, I accept your offer."

Mancer was about to respond when Wraith teleported away again. Moments later, he reappeared in front of her again, just before a nearby car exploded.

"Well, good. We can negotiate the price later. Lets meet at a more secure location next time - Starbucks off Main St. Whenever you have free time."

Marcus smiled as the red klaxon's began to scream throughout the facility. That was rather interesting indeed and as the gaurds began to move from their posts he let out a loud and frightening laugh. The gaurds looked back at Marcus to see the wild smile. The gaurds raised their guns in time to hear a crashing noise from behind them, they turned and pointed their guns at the door as it slid open, when they saw it was Ragam they put their guns down and relaxed. The gaurds began to move back to their posts.

Marcus saw Ragam and his eyes narrowed. "Well well well, what have we here... Looking to come torture me or something? Well guess what I'm not in the mood."

Ragam and the gaurds watched with some shock as Marcus began to glow, the gaurds raised their guns as Ragam found a wall to jump behind. Not a shot was fired but a horrendous explosion released itself from Marcus's body, the rope and gloves that held Marcus dissappeared in the first flash, the expanding ball of energy tore through the cage that held Marcus and continued to expand as gaurds began to shoot, and to run. The bullets fired never even got close, they disintigrated before they got close to Marcus. The blast continued to expand a few seconds longer before it died out and marcus flew out of the dying ball of energy, blue trails following after him as he slammed into the first gaurd and sent him flying, he grabbed the weapon from the gaurd as he flew away then quickly turned and let out a few short bursts that took out a few more gaurds. All before the first gaurd he'd hit had smashed into the wall.

A few more blasts of energy and a few sounds of gun fire later the fight was over and Marcus looked around for Ragam. "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." Marcus lanked around the room and closed the doors to the room and locked them, then he slipped on his clothes and weapons. "Well come on Ragam, this won't hurt much."

Ragam looked at Marcus from behind his wall and prepared to speak.

Nuada once more was fighting the Fog, and through it saw his Brother, Dian Cecht, coming toward him.

"Hang on Brother, aid is coming soon." Dian reach forth and patted Nuada on the arm, right were the PRID orderlies had injected him, with...whatever. Then he disappeared. Sean began to speak.

"Get out of my head, damnit."

Hush, mortal. You know this is nesscary. The fog began to disapate. He heard voices outside of his cell, and the heavy weight that was on him had seemed to lift. Nuada looked up at the light, and saw the dull green was flickering. That...yes, that must be what it causing the problem. But something is wrong with it....

".....Ms. Mancer, I already told you that it'll take much longer than you believe. Nuada..."

"Christ Hickman, I don't care if you've been in the PRID dating back to the OSS in the '40's, you treat him like the multiple personality disorder he is and..."

"Young lady, the psychics tell me there is an entirely different person than Thompson occupying that Body. It isn't nor-"

"Hickman, they get the same read if he has multiple personalities, and you know it. It..."

"This isn't the same..."

Nuada heard them argueing and smiled. The older man had it spot on, and he could feel his powers returning as the lights flickered some more. He pulled himself free of his restraints, and envolped himself in the Hellfireesque flame. He ripped the door open.

"Damnit, I told you Mancer..."

"I will not be party to your plans, Bitch!" Nuada roared, and he turned and threw the computer at her. He noticed a scnet about her that was familiar....and another, more familiar scent...several in fact...Marcus was somewhere near here, and so was that female vampire...and this woman in front of him was...yes....a vampire!

"You bloodsucking Whore!" Nuada roared again. Paul Hickman, a man nearing a hundred (although he didn't show it) snapped his attention to mancer. "I knew it! Those idiots should have never removed me from the directorship...!"

Nuada ignited the room, and Paul bounded away, Mancer was too shocked to do anything. Nuada ran for the door to the outside, and burst it open. On the other side of the compund, he saw smoke....he ran over there.

Marcus...

Listen Marcus, I have deal for you if you would just listen for one minute. Obviously we don't like each other but i have an offer that you might like. You want to kill those ghosts well now there are millions of them everywhere and i know where a hot spot is and you can have all the fun you want, i can get you out of here right now. If you refuse this offer i just want to let you know that i will have to kill you. Now i know you think that your a bad ass and everything but the fact is that there will be no way for you to get out of here and i will make sure of it so i suggest that you pick wisely. So what do you say little man?

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2004-01-31 03:07pm

Marcus watched Ragam for a moment, he had a katana in his left hand and a small charged blast ready to strike Ragam, when Ragam had said his piece Marcus looked around the room thoughtfully. The creature was right, if he could get out now he might be able to get away, but he'd get caught again. And with someone standing in his way it would take up precious time. There was the added benefit of getting to take on some Apparations.

Marcus slid his katana back into it's sheath as the energy in his hand died down. He looked at Ragam and nodded.

"Alright then, we have a deal. As long as I get to kill."

Marcus strode towards Ragam, he soon passed him and walked past the doors and looked back, obviously he wasn't leaving that up for option even if Ragam didn't like the fact.
