Ace brought the car to a stop, "This spot is just about two klicks south of the point you indicated Umuku.  If this place is some kind of Thieves Guild I wouldn't recommend taking this thing all the way up to the front gate."

Ace then proceeded to reach in front of Umuku accessing the glove box of the Firebird and retrieving the Taurus Raging Bull .454 Casull revolver.  Ammo for this would be limited to the wadcutter rounds in the cylinder, and the threaded hollowpoints on the belt in the trunk.

"Unless you'd recommend otherwise Umuku, I have no idea what we're up against here"


OOC: FYI a "Klick" is a Kilometer.  Wadcutter rounds are not tapered to a point, they go straight up out of the casing and have a flat top (Cylinder shaped), some may be slightly tapered around the top edge.  Leaves a perfectly round "Cut" hole in a paper target (Hence the name "Wadcutter") and are devastating to soft bodied, unarmored targets.  Threaded hollowpoints are a hollowpoint round with minor armor penetration.  For a .454 Casull round though, Armor penetration is the least of your worries.  The thing recoiling into your face however is a distinct possibility if you have bad form.  The .454C while smaller around than the .50AE, has more grains, and higher volumed casing, er-go more powder, er-go more takedown power.  You do not want to be on the business end of this thing.

OOC: So much gun info ._.' All we need, broham, is the Gun's relative power... Anyways, Lampshade Hanging/Universe referencing! Sweet bullets though.

...That's a Taurus Raging Bull... My friend uses a customized Black Raging Bull with a blue grip insert. And another friend of mind uses a modernized Kar98k; An excellent rifle...

Xenophobia pauses, shuddering for a second.

...Wait, I'm feeling a group of particularly evil, beings, Kishin Egg. If you'll excuse me, I'll scout ahead.

He/She then finally exhibits his/her telekinetic prowess in a more correct way: Locating the mechanism for the window and operating it using telekinesis, lowering the window and then climbing off of the window and onto the roof of the car, twin Katana (dubbed as Diabolus Talea) drawn.

Scratch that; They're here.

Xeno cuts a bullet in half, redirecting each bullet into the head of two GUN soldiers driving humvees ahead of Surv's car. Behind Surv's car drove four other trucks, each with a bed of gun-carrying G.U.N. soldiers, all having deranged looks on their faces and standing in a pool of glowing, blue-and-white, spherical objects. Two of the trucks drove in front of Surv, beginning to fire, only to be surprised when the bullets didn't go far and in some extreme cases, never left the gun. Xeno crouched, holding Diabolus Talea in an X-Shape, then bounding back up and flinging arms straight backwards. The soldiers all laughed and took this as an expression of surrender, munching on their weird spheres.

...Desperate times... Malum...

Xenophobia's swords glow black and red. Xenophobia grits his/her teeth, moving his/her arms further backwards.

UNDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Xenophobia lunges forward with the swords, causing the dark energy around the swords to fly off violently, hitting the trucks and soldiers, destroying them seemingly.

That should be enough for right now. They happened to be returning from raiding buildings. The others shouldn'tve noticed.

Xeno climbs back into the car silently, sighing.

[UltraSonic]

Ace had only managed to cock the hammer on the Raging Bull by the time Xeno had finished them off.  Of course he'd also dove to the ground ready to take them all.

Bad move Ace he thought to himself. You may be quicker and stronger than your former squad mates but without your combat armor, your almost as mortal as they were.  And power like that?  Seen it and beat it a couple times before, but I was better prepared and equipped good thing it's on my side this time.

"Well, how we want to do this?  I for one am not barging in the front gate of any place with that kind of firepower.  A different drop zone's fine by me, they seem to already know we're here." Ace said without getting back in the car.

[grox]

Umuku slowly gets out of the 'car', He looks around at the mayhem and devistation that Xenophobia had wrought upon the beings that had attacked them. He walks slowly, decisively towards the back end of one of the closer trucks and looks in it. He sees the small blue orbs, "There's hundreds of them, *heh* Hundreds of lives lost due to the awakening of ancient powers." Umuku reaches into the back of the truck and picks one of the orbs up. It feels like one of his fireball spells, but, alive, with it's own thoughts and feelings. Keeping the orb in his grasp he makes his way around the other trucks, noticing that in each of them, are more of the orbs. Umuku walks back to the 'car', he heads over towards Surv. He raises the orb in his hand as he walks towards him and looks at it, without missing a beat, "Surv, Xenophobia, Illeana, What do the three of you know, of magic?" Asks Umuku as he stops walking when he is standing in front of Surv.

[Gale Fox]

Xenophobia speaks first.

Well... I was born in the Underworld, mind you, however, I am not a demon or undead, anyway... The Underworld, known as Arad is filled with Mages, Slayers, Priests, and Gunners; All subtypes of which utilize magic or some amount of Mana in some way or the other. In fact, my closest friend, Spencer Specter...

He/She draws a picture of a boy with an older-looking rifle (The aforementioned Kar98k) in one hand and a metallic wand in the other, the wand glowing with orange energy on its spherical head. He/She puts away this picture and pulls out another, a red-headed boy holding a pole and a hand glowing with black energy.

Or Grandmaster Blurr, more properly known as Cody Oroborus. He's not necessarily a Mage, but manipulates an arsenal of energy-based combat skills. I know a large amount of others; but I'd draw it out. And as for that spherical object, that, yes, is a soul. A benevolent soul. What's more important are the red souls...

Xeno pauses again to dig in one of the trucks' bed, sorting through the blue souls and retrieving a red, plated soul for every soldier on the truck killed,then walking back over to Umuku, Surv, and Illeana.

You can consume these. They give a certain power increase when consumed, nowhere near as much as the blue souls, but power nonetheless. Blue souls will drive you insane if you consume them, especially in vast quantities.

With that, Xenophobia picks up a soul, cautiously swallowing it.

(Edit: I may make a Back In Town... The MOVIE FANFIC once I get permission and find a way to extend out our first 5 pages once we hit page 6.)

[UltraSonic]

"Personally I don't touch the stuff.  I've fought both along side, and against it's users.  Both at the same time about four years back during the D.N.A. crisis.  Ironically it was a fight over who would control my kind, and by that I don't mean raptors.  I am not experienced in it's usage at all, however I have the tactical experience to enter the field of combat when it is in play, both in my favor and against.  Indeed I would say that the deadliest foes I ever faced were magic users.  As you can see I'm still here, and they were not able to usurp control from my current commanders."

While talking Ace walked to the trunk of the vehicle opened it and retrieved the belt for the .454 casull.

[grox]

"So, you've had some experience, but not much." Umuku just tosses the soul back into the truck. "It seems one of my old compatriots is still alive, AND, if your 'thing' is correct, I suggest we go on foot from here. Less chance of being seen......ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah. *sigh* Xenophobia, the thing your going to steal from there, is something called a Phylactory, A Lich's Phylactory." Umuku walks over to one of the trucks and looks at the bodies noticing a strange symbol on their uniforms. "That's a strange symbol. SURV, Could you come here for a moment. You wouldn't happen to know what this symbol means?" Said Umuku pointing to a symbol on the dead body's uniform. The Symbol looked like http://www.comicvine.com/guardian-units-of-nations/65-45657/all-images/108-195130/250px_578px_gun_logo/105-738359/(OOC: I couldn't find just the image, so, I'm using this.).

[UltraSonic]

"It looks like a unit patch.  Most military groups use them, it helps soldiers identify other members of their unit that they don't know by face, and also serves to invoke a little bit of pride, as for what their unit would be, I don't know.  You can see mine here on my flak vest."

Ace points to a round velcro patch with a picture of a grim reaper on it.

"As cliche as it sounds we were known as death squad, but I assure you the usage of the term is accurate.  These people, however, very well armed, and ready to rush in, which means they must've been loyal, or afraid.  They look to be mostly grunts"

[Gale Fox]

A cliche, hm? Interesting. Meanwhile, my true homeworld is filled with nothing but fighting: Between killing malevolent beings, which of course, unfortunately reproduced as quickly as they died. Even their bosses, when killed, returned to life in a matter of few minutes as if nothing had ever touched them. And as for your previous thoughts...

Xenophobia paused for a second to jump upon the side of an overturned truck, then beginning to sit on the truck's wreckage: wreckage he or she had just wrought.

You two must've forgotten my ability: My antennae allow me to read minds, and unfortunately, no matter how much pain they're in right now from them being remove--

Xenophobia gags at this point, turning around to retch over the other side of the vehicle, then turning back around to his/her audience, beginning to swing off the harmless remnants of the devastating Malum Undo technique from the two swords labeled as "Diabolus Talea" collectively.

Upon closer inspection, however, each sword had its own engraving on their sides: The left sword was engraved with Primoris Atrox, the right sword named a similar Secundus Atrox.

--I can still hear your thoughts, and I'd like to remind you two: If I were to turn on you two, I'dve impaled my swords into the car to Malum Undo instead of attacking the other soldiers, who I could've made short work of afterward.

He/She sighs, then dropping back to the ground and beginning to walk along the wilderness (I'm imagining this area as a desert-like place), creating a dirt cloud for cover.

And a Phylactery... an object that's essentially a Lich's heart. So I'm basically kidnapping a Lich. Hm, let's go. I'm assuming Illeana's going to remain in the car. She's been silent the entire way here.

[grox]

"I agree, having someone watch the 'car' would be good. We shall head out, be cautious though, our enemy has more than just 'grunts' under his control." Umuku began walking in the direction of the of the Thieves outpost. After a while of walking, the three of them come stop at an edge of trees. Umuku is looking at what is ahead of them, "What, is, this? This is not the Thieves outpost I have read about. This looks like a, I don't know what." Out in front of them, looks to be a pristine army base, "It's not that I don't really know what this place is, but, what's bothering me, Is those." Said Umuku pointing towards the top of the base. "If I remember correctly, from my readings, those are, Gargoyles. Creatures that can remain still for years if necessary, Then again, those might just be statues placed there to, 'spruce' things up, to fit the Lich's taste. You never can tell, that is if, it's who I think it is." Said Umuku as he pondered what to do next. "Either of you have a spyglass of some sort?"

[UltraSonic]

Ace reaches into a pocket on his vest and pulls out a medium sized monocular range finder, about 4 inches long and 2 inches tall, and 1 inch thick, capable of night vision, as well as up to 8x Zoom and tosses it to Umuku.

"That ought to do the trick." Ace commented as he drew and held both pistols at the ready, very much missing his combat armor.

[Gale Fox]

"Wait, I got this!"

Xenophobia dashes at the wall of the base, attempting the climb the wall, barely reaching the building's roof, clinging onto its edge with his/her hands.

"Let me see..."

As Xenophobia rambles, a loud explosion is heard and smoke fills the area.

"They ARE in fact alive!"

Xenophobia sighs at this point, being juggled around by two angry Gargoyles.

"Help?"

[UltraSonic]

Ace begins to mutter specifics to himself as he holsters the .454 Casull, and draws the twin .45's.  "Wind speed about 13 Clicks from the east, elevation, at least 28 feet, distance 13 meters, two targets, one hostage, 5 seconds before termination would drop her inside the wall, fire."

While it contains a lot of details it's spoken in a whisper at a speed that makes it sound like little more than a quick sigh.  In reality his brain made the exchange in about 0.32 seconds, and he was firing at 0.57 seconds, tracking both targets simultaneously.

The recoil from the .45 appeared to, in his hands at least, be that of a .22, and he remained stable and locked onto both targets with relative ease, he wasn't aiming to kill the targets, he was aiming to bring them down quickly, as in out of the sky, so he was aiming for the wing base in an attempt to simply drop them out of the sky and finish them on the ground.

OOC: Gale, I'll leave it to you to decide whether or not your Character gets out of this one.  Ace does have a remote chance to miss his intended target, more so with the left hand than the right.  (Though

[Gale Fox]

"Dammit... He's muttering military specifications. If it were big sister Shelley I'dve been freed already..." Xenophobia rambles on and on in a whisper, beginning to fall into a deep state of thought, attempting to do his or her own analysis of the gargoyles: Probing.

The information flooded in: The thoughts of the soldiers within the building, the anxiety of the Lich's soul stored within the phylactery, and even the movements Surv just made. These gargoyles, just who were they?

One was King.
The other was Horatio.

Both had been awakened from a slumber implied to be as long as Umuku's, and apparently weren't quite pleased that Xenophobia was intruding on their master's business and their "Beauty sleep", but moreover their beauty sleep. Apparently, they were worried, wondering as to what the ancient creature below them was up to, that, and as to how their racial cousin of sorts was still in existence.

But what exactly is their weakness?

Phobia searched with his/her eyes and antennae and stumbled upon an idea, a much less obvious weak point. They hadn't eaten for ages: They were quite possibly hungry.

"Surv! After hitting their wings, aim for their stomachs!"

[grox]

"Hahahahahahahah, I might have been wrong. Then again, things have changed in this, new age of creation." Said Umuku to himself as he watched what was happening through Surv's pocket sized Spyglass. "Surv, I do believe you hit them." Said Umuku as he watched the two gargoyles drop towards the ground, Xenophobia still in the air, as he/she had been thrown by one of them before Surv had fired. Umuku moved forward, ignoring the tree branches that swatted at him, as if they were flies just brushing past his face. He arrived at the fence line in time to see the gargoyles were continuing their game with Xenophobia. The two gargoyles were talking to each other, Umuku only caught vague things, but, one thing that did catch his attention was the name of their master. In a whisper to himself, *In a dark gruff voice*{No, not him, how is he still alive?} *In a snake like voice*[Silence you fool, the third will hear us.] *In his normal voice* (Where have I heard that name before?)
