[UltraSonic]

"Surv!  Surv! Are you alright??!?!?" came Alyx's voice inside of Ace's helmet.

"I'm fine, for now, just hang on." was his reply inside of his helmet towards Alyx.

"Bring me closer and I'll tell you what I did with your brother"

Ace had seen magical symbols before, and in previous encounters once the symbol was marred in any way the magic was foiled.  All he had to do was get it to bring him closer and kick off one of his boots.  Then he'd have one of his toe claws more than able to scratch the little thing out.

[grox]

"Oh? You will, you will."

The armors arm's then brought Surv within arms length.

"I do wonder, what will the master do with you though?"

[UltraSonic]

"Good question" said Ace as he kicked off his right boot exposing the razorsharp foreclaw, which he brought down on the glyph with tremendous force trying to slash through it.

[grox]

Surv's foreclaw slashed through the armor, rending the symbol in two, there was no noise from the armor other than it shaking, and then.....

It fell to pieces. Dropping Surv to the floor with a clatter of armor. The only other noise was that of the fight behind him, Xenophobia was fighting some sort of Humanoid Being with a bald bulbous head, blue skin, and with four tentacles covering it's mouth. The tentacles writhed about wiping away drool that leaked from the creatures maw. Xenophobia had his blades crossed with the creatures, they seemed to be at a standstill, but, The creature looked as if he was staring directly into Xenophobia's soul. As Surv began to get up to help Xenophobia, There was a voice. The voice sounded like the first voice that came from the armor, but, quieter, "You've beaten my brother, and killed him, if I had any limbs at my disposal, I'd attempt to beat you with them, or offer you a hand up, either way."

As Surv looked towards the voice, he saw a single strip of metal lying near the elevator, It too has a symbol on it as well.

[UltraSonic]

Surv sighed watching Xenophobia.  "Don't tell me ugly up there brought a knife to a gun fight.  I mean there's a reason I favor a .45." Surv said as he fired a single shot for what appeared to be the creatures head, and then directed his attention towards the strip of metal, and replacing his boot at the same time.

"Your brother shouldn't have tried to kill me if he wanted to survive, admittedly neither of us would make normal opponents on any battlefield, but it'll take more than a little bit of voodoo to beat millenia of technological advancements.  When it comes right down to it, I'm as much of an abomination as the rest of you, but I was forged in a laboratory, not summoned in a sepulcher.  Add that to live fire training, where they're actually allowed to shoot you in nonlethal areas, and you've got me.  There aren't many of us, but we're a force to be reckoned with, some call us immortal, but I doubt it.  No more games from here on in.  Alyx?  Full power to the augmentation circuits, the home team's playing hardball."

At this point he turns around to check on Xeno and see of it needed any help.

[Gale Fox]

Xenophobia fell backwards, catching him/herself with Diabolus Talea. As s/he did so, one could cop a good look at his/her cursed blades: Primus and Secondus Atrox had gained red, sinister auras.

This feeling... it's misery, isn't it?

[grox]

The back of the creature's head splattered away from Xenophobia, it's body falling forward, the blades dissapating into nothing. A single whisper snaked it's way into Xenophobia's mind before the creature finally died. "Misery is only, the beginning of the Pain, you'll experience at my, masters, hands." The strip of metal then spoke up "I can't see much from here, But I can hear well enough, you've killed the Mindflayer that was attacking your comrade. Good, the guy was an asshole, ate mine and my brother's bodies brains right in front of us. *Sigh* I hate to tell you this, but those Mindflayers rarely travel alone."

To back up the armor's words footsteps began echoing from the hall behind them. "Pick me up and I can direct you to an area where they won't find you. Or leave me here, and try to find your own path. But I'm telling you now, Leave me here, and I'll come back for your carcass in a new body."

[UltraSonic]

"Alyx, advise." Ace asked the A.I..

"If he was going to, or even able of possessing your body by himself, he'd have done so when you were making physical contact with he and his brother in order to finish the fight quickly."

"Well then, looks like you're coming with us." once again came his response, this time neither one make any attempt at keeping Alyx's existence a secret.

With that Ace picked up the strip of metal and lashed it to his belt.  He also returned to the now ruined crate which had contained his armor to check for more ammunition.  locating multiple clips .45 ammo, and also .243 for the assault rifle.  He picked up what he could carry, holstered the pistols, and shouldered the assault rifle.

It's at this point that Ace's quirky sense of humor gets the better of him and the only thing he can think to do is holler down the hallway from which the footsteps had been heard, stating "COME AT ME BRO!"

[grox]

There was 3 sets of skidding sounds coming from the hall, voices were heard.

"What did it say? Coh Meat Meb Row?"

"No, no, Cam Mat ME Braoh."

"No, Your both wrong, it was Came ATE Meb Raow."

"No, your wrong it was Coh Meat Meb Row."

"No, Cam Mat Me Braoh."

"I'm right, you two are wrong."

"No, I'm right."

"NO, I'm right."

"NO! I am."

"I am!"

"I AM!"

"You calling me a liar?!"

"No, Mom called you both that at Dinner last night."

"WHY YOU!"

Sounds of a fight are now heard in the hall.

[UltraSonic]

"This is either a trap, or a remake of the three stooges" Surv commented idly as he started walking down the hallway, is movement completely fluid and his footsteps feather light, despite the fact that he weighed in at almost half a metric ton.

[grox]

As Surv walked down the hall, he saw three beings, They all looked reptilian in nature, Scales for skin, no hair, but they were all about 4' close to 5' tall. One was black and built like a body builder, another one was slimmer than the black one but was still well built and had a yellowish green collor. The last one was a dark green and looked like he had been in plenty of fights in his day, at least, judging by the scars on his body. The three of them were still going at it, punching, kicking, clawing, biting, and slapping each other with their tails. Finally, one of them was shoved against the wall, the other 2 were going at it, the one that got shoved against the wall was taking a couple of deep breaths, but, his attention snapped away from his brothers, towards the direction Surv was coming from.

"Brutus, Bloodscale, Some thing is coming, I can smell it!"

The two other reptilians stopped fighting, they too took a couple of deep breaths, looking as if they were tasting the air. The three of them, then picked up 3 tower shields from the ground behind them, placed the shields in front of them, stood side to side, and started to move forward.

"Whatever is coming, know this, we may not have been smarter than the Mindflayer. In fact he was our superior, BUT, we make up for it in strength and guile."
"My brother Bloodscale is telling the truth, we make up the three challenges that our late superior came up with. To go through this hall, you must pass our challenges."
"I Brutus, make up the challenge of Combat."
"I Bloodscale, make up the challenge of Strength."
"And I Benever, make up the challenge of Knowledge."
"We Are the Sharptooth Browbeater Brothers."

[UltraSonic]

"Brilliant, and what happens if I choose to just paint the walls with you?" Ace inquired of the three reptiles.  He was often annoyed at how he was often mistaken for a "Reptile" while in truth he was more closely related to mammals and birds, warm blood for the win.

[grox]

(OOC: HA HA HA HA, lol, I'm loving this, UltraSonic, Your from Halo, a realm of Powerful weapons and even more powerful beings. BUT, I'm from DND, Where even gods can fall from a blow from a single sword. hahahahahahahah, lets see what your Spartan can do, against, Lizardfolk who have their own 'Special' armor. Nyahahah.)

[UltraSonic]

Their desire for him to strike first was not lost on the raptor, now fully amplified, he moved the entire distance faster than you could blink, anyone not aware of his abilities might have sworn it teleportation.  In the process he moved between two of them, when he was directly in line was when he moved, drawing his .454 in his left and his machete in his right, placing the .454 against the temple of the one to his left, and bringing the machete down hard on the one to his right in a backhanded stroke.




OOC: This is Surv's move, however given that your characters have shields I'm not sure how effective it'll be, ball is in your court, does he take two of them down, or do they block?

[grox]

Surv's attack was not lost on them, but, the shield the creature was carrying did it's job and deflected Surv's attack, but, Surv's machete left it's mark on the shield. The one having the gun on his temple simply chuckled, "Really, teleportation, I find, this to be better." With that, Surv was grabbed by 5 spectral hands and thrown away from them. "Mage hand, I can cast that quite easily, silently, motionlessly. Many times over. Brothers, I'll challenge him first." The other 2 lizard like creatures took 2 steps back and allowed him to step forward.

"You face the challenge of Knowledge, the knowledge of the fact that, you are fighting a sorcerer who has skills with the sword, armor, and shield."
