"That is just a wormhole... I can close that..."

Alytar started almost what looked like a sewing motion with his hands, and the portal seemed to close up like a torn seam with a needle and thread taken to it.

Mancer just winked.

"Lets. I'll be calling in some of our technical people, since my computer skills aren't exactly first rate..." admitted Mancer. She spoke into a comlink, and minutes later, two technicians entered.
"Hello guys - this is Wraith. He'll be patching up our network - do keep an eye on him. I'll probably be sticking around for awhile, since I have nothing else to do..."

"Alright guys," said Wraith. " I need to know how many nodes there are, how many servers, how many hardline terminals, and how many remote terminals there are."

"Well, Wraith. The network covers North America and most of Western Europe."

"Alright then, I can figure the rest out."

Wraith walked over to six different computers and started working. He hooked four of them into a network and used the other two to start create virus to test the network against.

"Mancer, we are going to be here a while. What I need from you is a 24-pack of cokes, 3 dozen hotpockets, a dozen twinkis, and enough coffe to keep me awake through a star trek movie."

"Consider it done. You'd be suprised how large of a stockpile the PRID has on coffee... We've got food in the lounge - help yourself. Don't rush it, it's better to be thorough than leaving gaping holes..."

Once Mancer said this, Wraith was back into the computer world.

He started working right away.

Marcus grinned widely and cracked his knuckles loudly.

"A creature huh... that hunts Apparations. This should be interesting."

It was then that the two started to hear bullet fire and explosions. Marcus's eyes went wide and he raced forward, his black trenchcoat flaling behind him.

"Move it ape! Someone beat us to the fun!"

Half a minute later Marcus turned the corner in time to see the sorcerer, it was that damn fish again, begin to close the portal. Marcus growled and began to charge up a blast to fry Alytar and those that were with him, one of them was the guy that had taken him out. Oh this was too perfect. Ragam reached out and grabbed Marcus, pulling him back before he could fry the group, the fish was too busy closign the portal to realize what was going on.

"Damnit why'd you stop me?" Marcus tried to scream over the hand that covered his mouth.

Ragam leaned in close. "I have a bad feeling about this. And we don't want them to know you're here."

Marcus snorted then turned back around the corner, peering at the portal as it finished closing. Just before it closed though a ghostly hand reached through and the portal stopped, another hand reached through and another, until dozens of hands were pushing the portal back open to its full size again and the apparations continued to pour out, though at a considerably slower rate as many had to keep their stations at the portal to keep it open.

"Well shit..." Marcus grinned some. "Damn this is gonna be fun.

Damn, I should have realised he'd get help. Nuada watched the two bound away. Probably another madman....I might have to handle him too.... A slug whizzed by his ear, and he turned back to a PRID Humvee, it's .50 cal rattlin' at him. Three slugs impacted his chest. With a grunt, Nuada raised his hand and a line of fire shot out, incinerating the PRID guards. The wind picked up, and he caught Jones' scent.

You won't get away, you bastard

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

Sean Thompson recognized that scent instantly, although the crazy occupying his body wouldn't listen. The woman vampire that had attacked them outside of New Orleans was, he was pretty sure, his old girlfriend. What had happened to Sandra? Why was she following them?

He saw it all from the outside, Nuada killing several more PRID guards, finally grabbing a Humvee and racing towards to cave system to the west.

"Nuada, stop it."

Of course, he ignored him. Damn, how to get him out? He was going to get them both killed. Well, at least Sean killed. The extraplanar jackass would probably move on to another body.

After what had to have been an hour, Nuada parked the Humvee at the base of a mountain. Sean was panicking now.

oh God oh God oh God...

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

"Well shit..." Marcus grinned some. "Damn this is gonna be fun."

"JONES!!!!!!!!!!"

Nuada rounded the corner, and saw several people standing there, Marcus Jones, a Hulking creature, a fishman...

"Nuada?" Marcus said, temporarily thrown off.

"Burn!" Nuada's eyes flared and fire seemed to erupt around Marcus...

..and then moved up againest the cave walls. Nuada fell down, his head searing in Pain.

"Stop it!" Sean screamed. "Stop it!"

Wraith sighed as he looked at the computer screen. He had been at it for a whole week without sleep. And it was done. He had created one of the most secure networks. The system was designed to change the encryption rutine every two hours. If a hacker broke in, he would only have a short while until he was kicked out. Wraith had programmed H/K programs to attack viruses and hackers. And to ensure he would live, he sent three emails. One to Jonthan Grey, telling him to be careful. And the other two to the Director and Mancer, offering his services in exchange for ammenesty for any crimes he might have commited, with a promise to reveal who the mole was.

(OOC: this is a new char, I will post stats soon, assume jimi is dead)

I woke up, laying in the ocean, repulsors maintaining the illusion that I was floating. I had just landed, and needed to accomplish my mission. To do this I would need to discover the local political climate. I took off flying towards a major energy center I found while falling from orbit (LA) at some 200mph). I would arrive in a few hours.

Mancer didn't check her e-mail very often, mostly due to the massive amount of spam she received. Even the PRID's spam filters were no match for the junk e-mail sent to her. When she opened her Inbox, she was suprised to find a real e-mail addressed to her.

She skimmed through it quickly - so Wraith wanted amnesty for any crimes he had committed... In return, he would reveal who the mole was. Mancer quickly replied with a message.

Hank looked at the new arrivals, and the new arrival in the portal.

"Oh FUCK!"

Ripping out a fixed charge from his belt he tossed it to Ragam, shouted "FUCKING RUN DAMNIT! NOW!!!!!! SET THE CHARGE OFF BEHIND YOU SO IT CAN'T GET YOU!"
Then quickly he lead the team back the way they came, calmly saying into his communicator, "We've got a Kali Xeno Charlie, tell the L-Cac to meet me at the rough right angle, we'll re-equip and take it out then."

Marcus was caught completely off-gaurd, not something that happened very often at all. He had turned to see Nuada standing by himself and had been prepared to speak when the fire had erupted around him, he instinctively created a barrier around himself that for the most part protected him, then the flames averted and slammed against a wall.

Marcusthen looked up at the bastards who had taken him out before, this time he wouldn't miss. He powered up a blast as the man named Hank pulled out a charge and threw it to Ragam and screamed about getting the hell out of there. "Yeah, right..." It was then that Marcus saw the hulking beastie at the portal.

"Ok, here we go. About friggin time." Marcus ran forward and jumped to the side, firing a blast that struck it square in the chest and pushed it back some. Marcus then fired a second blast at the creature that pushed it further back, Marcus was amazed that the creature was actually taking these shots but it didn't stop him. A third and fourth blast got fired out, throwing the creature back as Ragam set the charge and grabbed Marcus and Nuada.

"I don't know what connection you two have but for now let's just get the hell out of here!" Yelled Ragam as he ran after Hank, not giving Marcus a choice in staying as the charge went off.

Jonathan had been In DC for days, without seeing anything. He had asked the police about it, but they didn't know much. He would e-mail a message, but he did not know any adresses either. He was starting to wonder if he had gotten anything out of this trip other than a sightseeing tour.

Jonathan entered his hotel, an upscale place not far from the Capitol. He took the elevator up to the ninth floor, and went to his hotel room. He went to the minibar in the sitting room, deciding that he would spend another $15 on a beer, and opened the can, sitting on the couch. For now, all there was to do was watch porn.

I came in at night, low to avoid any primitive tracking on this planet. I went into a homestead in one of the outlying sectors of the city. I figured out how to activate a view-box, and selected a channel speaking in standard. I learned about the apparitions, mutants with extreme powers, and extensive chaos though out the realm. I learned that Washington DC was where the action was going down. Before I left I jacked into a power socket and after my suit transformed the electricity into a usable form I absorbed my fill, after all this planet wasn't covered in the capacitor plants my home world was. Then my suit, which was powered by *technobable* not electricity opened the circuit and I set off, flying east following a road to go to this nation states capital.

Alytar, his total concentration on trying to seal the rift, dd not notice the charge placed next to him, nor did he notice the others running... he closed the portal, right before he was atomized.

As Ragam Rocketed into the air the mountain was split in half by a giant explosion. It all seemed to happen in slow motion, as Ragam just floated in mid air with the marcus and Nuada in his hands. When they landed he just put them down. He didn't say anything as he was lost in thought about the portal. That was his only way home.

" Hey monkey boy" Marcus snapped his fingers " Why did you stop"

Ragam looked at him and shook his head in saddness and with that Ragam Took to the sky leaving the two behind.

As Halastyrix soared through the air, he noticed a massive explosion

He Stopped his forward movement and hovered, getting a dragons eye view of the area, unti he noticed a small speck moving out of the blast area. He rocketed toward it, reaching it in seconds.

Ragam floated before Halastyrix, the Gold Dragon

"Cease and desist little manthing, tell me the nature of this destruction" He said in a booming voice, almost as if his voice emenated from all points at once. Ragam could not help but be cowed by the dragons presence.

The Dragon appeared out of now where an startled Ragam. Shocked, Ragam hadn't seen a Dragon in over 500 years but it quickly faded as he landed on the ground and jumped up again. The Dragon had asked him a question but his mind was somewhere else and he ignored him. Ragam continued on his way

"Your insolence annoys me puny manthing!" the dragon boomed

Halastyrix plucked the little man out of the air with a massive claw. Then continued to speak, his voice like thunder.

"what is the naure of this level of destruction? All I want is a brief summary, I am sure you can take a few moments out of your schedule to converse with me. However, I suppose it was rude of me to not introduce myself. I am Halastyrix."

Wraith replied to the email.

Ragam was becoming very irate with this creature.
"Will there always be some moron to disturbe me" He thought to himself

"Listen Hala.. Hal... whatever your name is. I don't answer to you. I am sure that you think you are very powerful and that i should be scared right now but in all honesty i am not. Maybe if you would of asked nicely instead of charging me like a half brained lizard i would of giving you a better answer." Ragam said in anger but his pip squeek voice just made it sound funny. He just pointed with his tail towards marcus and nuada

"See those two way over there... why don't you ask them" Ragam said with a smile, Knowing full well that marcus would probably attack the dragon. Normally Ragam wouldn't do this but his anger and grief where getting to him. "Now if you don't mind, I will be on my way..." Ragam squeezed out of this grip " and the next time i see you i will hoped that you could learn some manners" and with that he leaped and disappeared into the forest below

"It takes a lot of courage to stand up to me... I apologize... You must undestand I have been around for a very very long time, and am not accustomed to dealing with those that will stand up to me. You have proven worthy of my respect. Be on your way."

Halastyrix flew down t land next to Marcus

"manling, what ho! For what reason has this mountain exploded friends?"

Code: Select all

Thank you, I would like 200 thousand a year and help with any problems that I might have.  I will of course reveal the mole and ensure that the computer system is unhacked.  I am offering my services with covert and special ops.  Wraith.

As he stands waiting for a reply, small forest creatures congregate around him, moths and butterflies circle around his head, attracted by his pure goodness. He merely smiles and waits for the puny mortals to get over their shock and speak.

Wraith replied with five words
