I frowned and sighed folding my hands behind my back. "I won't move.. but I think my friends are hurt back there.. so if you don't mind?"

"Great, this is just great!" Floyd grumbled under his breath as his bow dissappeared and he raised his hands.

"Get them, now." One of the guards ordered X... none of them let their guard down, and one even walked up the stairs to follow X.

Each guard downstairs walked up to Vlad, Lloyd and Brego, with an officer walking into the doorway.
"You're all under arrest for raiding and vandalizing government property. All those who participated in this act will be prosecuted and, if necessary, executed." The officer warned them, even though it wasn't any of the group's fault. "Now, you'll be escorted outside where a Personal Carrier will be waiting for you." All of the guards nudged Lloyd, Vlad and Brego, telling them to move out. Brego was the first to go, his guard following him the whole way to the entrance of the building. Outside, as Dan had saw, were several guards with their weapons aimed at the entrance, two APCs with manned guns, a gunship with a spotlight fixed on the area and the tank, with the barrel pointed straight at the entrance. Brego felt they were overdoing it, which made him suspicious...

X

I frowned and teleported to the group seeing the other guards. "Everyone ok?"

Floyd grumbled something under his breath as he walked out the building.

The other guards pointed their weapons at X again, completely surprised.
"DON'T MOVE!" About three of them yelled, one of them starting to walk over to X. Dan rolled his eyes at how many guards there were once he was put into a gunship with Brego and Vlad. They waited for Lloyd and X.
"What have zhey done with Amari?" Vlad asked. At that moment they saw her being carried into the back of an APC. It drove off shortly afterwards, where two other guards ran over and stood in it's place.

As Dan looked around the rooftops for the assassin from earlier, he saw a rather large figure hovering in the middle of the sky, way up high. At least, it looked like it. When he tried to identify, it quickly shot off out of their sight.
"This place is weird..." Dan said in confusion.

X

I looked at the guard coming towards me. I folded my arms behind my back. "Lower those guns before I do it for.. I get uneasy when someone is aiming at me.."

Floyd sat down next to Dan inside the gunship, still grumbling stuff under his breath.

Moe watched the group from one of the rooftops, he knew there was nothing he could do to help them at the moment, even if he wanted to.

"Follow the others and maybe I won't put some lead in your head." The guard said, nudging X forward.

"CAPTAIN! WE CAN'T HOLD THEM OFF!" An M.R.A soldier yelled in a bunker over the noise of all sorts of incoming gunfire. There was a rhino in some rather old and weathered yet heavy grey armour.
"KEEP FIGHTING! REINFORCEMENTS WILL BE COMING IN SOON ANYWAY!" The rhino yelled back. Unfortunately he bunker's front walls were blasted away by light tank fire with a couple of soldiers getting blasted back. As the smoke cleared, the frightening sight of hundreds of soldiers, tanks, gunships, two mecha panthers and a Megalith made the rhino realize what he was actually up against. He frowned, picking up a loose grenade launcher that laid next to one of the dead soldiers and stuck to the remaining cover by the sides of the walls. "WE DON'T GIVE UP, WE KEEP FIGHTING." He shouted at the soldier, firing a grenade into a group of enemy soldiers.

The battle was on the border of land between the M.R.A and Doom Storm, which the M.R.A desperately needed. On their side were thousands of soldiers, at least five or six per 1 DS troop, an Ogre with several Mouse mechs, but in particular there was a clearing where an even larger Gorilla monster truck was roaring through, soaking up a lot of enemy fire. In the skies, jets and gunships from either faction were falling by the second, damaging enemies on both sides. The Doom Storm soldiers were using their tanks and APCs for cover, barely being hit. The M.R.A were doing the same thing, but their vehicles were under far worse fire.

"Captain, we have ten carpenters with thirty stingers incoming, over." The captain's walkie-talkie said.
"Drop everything over them, and don't get them shot down!" He replied into it. The other soldier was firing back, until...
"ROCKET!" He yelled, getting up and sprinting out of the bunker. The rhino wanted to shout at him, but he stood up and peeked round to see a large artillery shell about to hit him. He didn't have time to react, and the bunker was blown up shortly after.

Coming from behind the M.R.A line were the Tigers on their superbikes in a single line. Donny was at the front.
"Ricko, when we get to a bunker, get your shield out and pop round the side to cover Perco and me." Donny ordered. Ricko nodded, despite being at the back with Koln.
"Diamond, you get up top on a monster truck and shoot anyone who looks particularly dangerous. Koln, you're doing your magic again with Couthart."
"I've only got one more of those syringes!" Couthart spoke into her intercom.
"It'll last long enough!" He replied sharply. The bikes were approaching one of the few remaining bunkers, where they quickly got off and prepared their weapons.
"Alright, let's do this." Ricko started moving to the right, keeping his shield up to protect Donny and Perco who had his laptop under his arm. Most of the DS troops concentrated their fire on Ricko as thousands of bullets bounced off, even a couple of rockets weren't enough to bring them down.
Koln could see a Marauder charging towards their bunker with speed. He readied his gun quickly and rained hell upon the cyber beast, doing considerable damage. When Couthart saw it, she too fired at it, but it smashed through and fired at Koln. Luckily for Koln, Couthart had injected him with a yellow substance, causing his pupils to glow and his skin under his fur to glow only faintly. The heated shot almost counted for nothing, so he ran up to the Marauder and hit it round the head hard with his gun as a part of the mask came off to reveal it's ugly-ass face. He shot it's face in until it showed no more signs of movement, then stepped through the open wall bunker and fired at any enemy soldier that moved. All of the sudden, the only thing the soldiers that were in the same area as them were shooting at was Koln and Ricko, letting all the other M.R.A soldiers counter with the element of surprise.

"Here they are!" An M.R.A soldier shouted, looking up to the sky. There was a whole line of large planes coming in over the hundreds of jet fighters in the sky. As they got over the Doom Storm swarm, they began dropping several payloads of bombs over their positions, eventually decreasing their numbers by a fifth of what it originally was. There looked to be some hope for the M.R.A in the end.

(This may be TL;DR stuff or interesting stuff, it's just to that there's something else to "watch" (or read) so that the RP isn't as boring. This bit for now definitely is.)

(Cooool :3 if they need help the RE are always willing to help :3)

X

I narrowed my eyes then laughed. "Like to see you try" I winked and turned teleporting into the gunship next to Dan,Vlad and Brego. I sat down oppostie them and glanced around.

"... Everyone's in now." Brego snarled at the pilot. Another guard hopped in, the doors closing on both sides of the gunship. Eventually, the gunship lifted off the ground and started to rise, but there wasn't any feeling that they were going forward, only upwards.
"Where the hell are we going?" Dan asked, thinking they'd hit the roof. Vlad shrugged.

Floyd looked around, still not able to believe what was happening. "If my parents find out about this, I'm dead..." Floyd mumbled under his breath.

Moe watched the gunship, then just turned around, running off.

X

I leaned back thinking.

"If this whole journey doesn't kill us, your parents will." Brego joked, shrugging the thought of death off. Just as he was finished, the whole of the gunship shook violently from some heavy impact.
"We've been hit! We've been hit! We're going down!" The pilot could be heard talking into his intercom. Vlad stood up quickly trying to see what it was that was firing at the ship. He was knocked to the floor when something from outside rammed into the side of the gunship, creating a large dent that almost hit Dan. He jumped in shock.
"What's happened to the other gunships?!"
"They've been taken out! We're being attacked by a... a..." The pilot couldn't finish what he was saying as the cockpit was engulfed by a large wave of dark green energy, eradicating one half of the gunship and finally letting the group see outside of the gunship again. They were very, very high up with the city looking like a 3D map.
"Oh brilliant. X, you need to teleport these two out of here and onto ground level!" He pointed his thumb at Vlad and Lloyd. He grabbed Dan by the collar, jumping out with him as he barely managed to fly out from under the falling wreckage.
"Vhat even happened?!" Vlad was confused... as always.

Floyd shook his head agreeingly, "You don't know the half of it..." he said. "Whoa!" Floyd quickly said as everything started becoming chaotic around him.

X

"Come on!" I grabbed the two's arms and then teleported up to the ground. I looked up letting them go. "What the heck is going on?!"

Some mounted SUVs and bikes came round a turning, stopping about 20 metres away from X, Vlad and Lloyd. Vlad started preparing himself for a gunfight, yet within seconds of the guards getting out of their vehicles, several missiles swarmed over them and reduced them to a fiery remains. Vlad tried to see what was doing all this, only just noticing some kind of very large bird or angel disappearing off over the buildings again. Brego landed on a nearby rooftop, watching as the back half of the gunship circled round and round until it crashed on top of a small set of flats. The light tank from earlier eventually rolled round the corner on the opposite end of the road, accompanied by two APCs that were trailing behind.
"Stay up here." Brego warned Dan, dropping down behind the group as he pulled out Honor & Valor, aiming at the APCs. Dan immediately starting going down the steps on the side of the building once he was down there.
"We've got more company." Brego warned them. Despite being ready to fight, the tank was aiming at something up in the sky... maybe it had seen the thing flying about? It fired a shell, but on the counter attack came a large storm of what looked like white-hot needles, piercing the tank's armour and demolishing it within seconds. The detonation knocked the APCs on their sides, rendering them useless. Dan looked up, keen to see what was helping them out. He blinked twice at the sight of what looked to be a blue robot angel, who slowly started to hover down above the tank wreckage. The robot's lower legs had insect-like feet, but were heavy and were supported by pistons... the wings looked to be made out of metal, but were flexible and spanned at least 5 metres. It had several small jet thrusters built into it's back, along with one glowing red fan on the back that appeared to act as a coolant for the suit.
The robot landed softly on top of the wreckage, it's back turned to the group as it appeared to be scanning the other two APCs.
"..." Vlad and Brego were quiet for the moment.
"Who are you?!" Brego decided to call out, not considering the angel to be an ally considering how the helicopter crash could have been fatal to them. There was no reaction for a while, but then, slowly, the robot slowly turned it's head round to look over it's shoulder. It's face had a single visor with three separate tubes of different sizes attached to the mouth of the helmet. It stood there, looking at the group for a moment, then finished it's short introduction with a quick beat of it's wings before shooting off over the buildings at speed.
"... Zhis place is veird." Vlad's only response was. Brego shook his head, holstering his guns.
"We need to find some place to hide. If we go back to the hotel, we'll run into the authority again." He stated. The only thing that was now on his mind was 'Where might be a quiet, abandoned place?'.

(And more random battle stuff.)
===

Diamond was perched on top of an incoming monster truck, aiming through his sniper at a Marauder he could see in the distance. When the truck was steady, he fired a shot. The power of the rifle was enough to leave a large hole in the monster's head. It fell to the ground, dead.
"Hide all you want..." Diamond grinned, reloading to find another victim to head hunt.
Perco had already started hacking the AI controls of one of the Doom Storm tanks.
"How's it going?!" Ricko shouted over the amount of gunfire and clanging that was aimed at his shield. Donny could see Koln in the corner of his eye, also acting as another target for the thousands of enemy weapons.
"Almost done!" Perco replied. Unfortunately, his laptop started to go haywire without warning - the display started to crackle and go static, the battery power showed all sorts of different readings until some smoke escaped out of the back, rendering his laptop useless. "It's broken?!" He shouted, frustrated and very worried. Donny looked round, almost gasping. All the other specialists were busy in another battle, so now the M.R.A were at a huge disadvantage. He ran over to him and slid on his knees, forcing up a bit of dust and sand as he tried to reboot the laptop. Nothing worked.
"FFFFUDGE! Now we--" He and Perco could feel the ground starting to vibrate. They both stood up and looked out of the bunker, watching the dead man's land between the M.R.A and Doom Storm. Bits of rubble started to kick up from the ground, the chunks getting larger and larger with small hills starting to rise.
"What the...?" It became clear that something was tunneling upwards from underground. To Donny's surprise, there was a large rotary blade, about the width of a house, digging upwards that wasspinning so quickly it created some light wind, also rotating so fast that the large chunks of debris were being sprayed in all sorts of directions.
"Get back! Pull back!" Donny shouted, almost unable to hear himself. He pulled Ricko's shoulder back, then turned round with Perco and Ricko to flee.

"What in the world is that thing?!" Floyd exclaimed as he looked at the blue angelic-like robot.

Meanwhile...

"You! Where's Heart?!" Moe yelled at the person on the side of the rooftop opposite him. "You mean where was she?" The hooded figure asked, grinning evilly. Moe let out a tremendous growl and shot towards the hooded figure at full speed. "Over here" The hoodoed figure said as he disappeared and reappared on the opposite side of the roof in a puff of smoke. Moe quickly turned around and looked at the hooded figure, letting out a ferocious growl. "I'm gonna kill you!" He yelled as he ran full speed towards the figure.

(BTW, is it possible to teleport out of the city? Just wondering)

(X teleported down into the city)

X

I frowned thinking. "Well providing we don't need to stay in the city and i can teleport us out of here,there is an oldsafe I found some time ago"

(Yeah, so you can teleport in/out.)

"I don't know. Maybe he thought we vere some other people he was looking for?" Vlad questioned the robot's choice in assisting them.
"Alright. Just remember, we still have things we need to do in here." Brego said to X.

X

I nodded. "Of course we can leave when we need to"

"Wow... Lucky break... If you consider that lucky..." Floyd commented about the chances of such a thing happening. Floyd then looked around, "Wait a sec... Where is Moe?" He asked.

The hooded figure ducked under Moe's punch and sweep kicked his legs out from under him. The figure then punched Moe with enough force to send him flying several feet into the air. The figure then shot a dark energy beam at Moe while he was still in midair. As the energy beam dissappeared the figure watched Moe fly into the air from the force of the beam, then slam into the rooftop with a thud and a groan.

X

I span around. "I thought he was with us.. I'll try to find him." I closed my eyes sitting down.

Vlad and Dan looked round to see if Moe might have been anywhere in sight.
"..." Brego's ears twitched. He could hear engines coming. "We need to get out of here now, X." He whispered assertively.

X

I opened my eyes looking at him. "Righto" I stood up and then took his arm with one hand and then Dan's. "Link now!"
