Chapter 1, Part 3: Infestation

[Van]

Van was casually walking down the halls, being careful not to alarm the students left in the area outside the dimensional area. "All the 'supernavi' back ups are deleted." Trance whispered as Van turned a corner. "What, no questioning my authority this time?" "Well lets say I've learned from my mistakes. Also I can actually see a bit of sense in your plan this time." Trance replied.

"Email the cavalry. Tell them to get over here Asap. Time for my back up." Trance did as told and sent the emails. "Also email Hitronwolf and tell him the bombs are disabled." (OOC: For the record, Van stole the codes for the satellite from Thomas' computer.) Trance sent the other email as told. So when are we gonna 'jump in the mix' then?" Trance asked. "Soon enough." Van replied as he exited the dorm area.

[hitronwolf]

Hitronwolf: *Runs into Thomas* bad new for you Thomas looks like you get nothing out from this. You left a gift for Van and he repaid in kind, by grabing the satlite codes off you computer to disable the Bombs.

Cyberman: the deals off for everyone. you lost.

[Kyn Azleos Roya]

"Van, you can come out, I know you are there. You missed a few backups of the codes, and of the Supernavis. My own navi, my brother's cyber form, and my father's cyber form. The new coding was successfully installed, not only a new look, but new coding altogether," He smashed Hitronwolf in the stomach, and right into a wall, he passed out from the impact. If he awoke, about 5 hours if he was lucky, he would be in a prison cell, without a P.E.T, any longer, and he'd be back in his room. Van soon found himself surrounded by guards, and knocked out as well. He was put in a separate cell, a plastic one. Without anything to break himself out, Thomas administered a from of truth serum, as a gas. He gathered all the information he needed, and sent out goons to get 'something'.

Luso followed Thomas as he did some more things, but he could see the rage in the young man's eyes, and avoided saying anything. Now the satellite was prepared for any and everything Van could try. No one could get in, or out, without Zyrois activating or disabling the security himself. Thomas had locked the doors to the base, so that no uninvited guests could enter, "I'll save my new ace for now," Thomas muttered to himself. He had a guarantee that no one would mess things up, except for Jun, but a few students in hostage would fix that. He threw Van out, into a different clearing, with a refreshed P.E.T, and none of his old programs to boast, nor any backups. Hitronwolf was left alone, as Thomas did not care. Hitronwolf would have to fight, and then delete Gunslinger or get deleted, Van would make some heroic move, to find out what lies behind door number two, and stop dead in his tracks. Thomas had all the cards, and he loved it.

[hitronwolf]

Hitronwolf:*Wakes up* Man these guys leave me no choice, I must fight Gunslinger to stay in this. *Searches for PET Drive* oh no, Thomas took Cyberman.

[Luso]

Luso looked over to Thomas.

"I don't care how angry you are, I'm going to have to delete Cyberman. It's personal."

[hitronwolf]

Cyberman: you guys realy pulled a back fire in your plan, how is Hitronwolf going to battle Gunslinger without me. oh yea he CAN'T.

[Van]

"Wow. Can't even tell a clone from the original? My you seem to be slipping Thomas. Trance, activate the second load of presents." Van was back is his dorm, just outside the dimensional area. Trance activated a bug placed in the back ups, it created a small vortex in each of them that sucked them in from their inside and threw them into Van's HP. "Trance." "On it" A visor appeared over Trance's face and data began steaming across it at high speeds. Several spheres appeared around him afterward.

Trance the deleted the last of the back ups of the codes, supernavis, and Zyrois with Crystal Shuriken. The spheres then disappeared in small flashes. "Data received and locked away. But why didn't we get Xi and Psi's data, the most important ones?" Trance asked him. Just then there was a knock on the door and Van walked over to open it. "Ah the cavalry is here" Van said as he opened the door to see his friend Genelia and another short girl with short wavy lavender hair. "Glad you could make it." Van greeted them.

[Luso]

OOC: Van, he took your "clone"'s PET. Unless you made a fake Trance and PET too. Anf how did you steal that data again?

Luso watched ever diligent around the corner. He had been sent in to kill Van once and for all.

As the girls walked into Van's room, Luso expertly shot two tranquilizer darts. Both hit their target. Van looked quizzical before realizing what had happened. He caught the girls just in time to get hit by a dart as well. Luso casually walked into the room.

"Mesmero, retrieve the deleted data from his Recycling Bin."
"Will do."

Behind him, six goons filed into the room.

"Trash this place. Mesmero, you done yet?" The raucous sounds of destroying bounced on behind him.

"Yes. All the data he attemtped to delete has been succesessececsscfully retrieved."
"Right." He stored the data, then turned to the goons. "The bodies come with us."

He and the goons left the room, leaving no computer unsmashed, no furniture in one piece, and every secret switch broken beyond repair. Van and his friends were soon transported and stored in the same facility as Hitronwolf. Luso met up with Thomas and said...

"I found Van and his "cavalry". They've been imprisoned in separate cells. Here's the data you wanted back." He transfered the data Van stole to Thomas. Thomas grinned the grin of a child with a new toy then handed Luso a PET.

"I installed the program in Cyberman. Don't mess up. I could've easily deleted him."

"Oh, I'll take care of him easily."

Luso made his way to Hitronwolf's cell. He opened it, two guards armed with tranquilizer's close behind. Hitronwolf looked up just in time to catch his PET.

"Now we can do that battle. Whoever loses gets deleted permanently."

Hitronwolf looked at the armed guards outside the cell, then looked at Luso.

"Let's go, Cyberman!"

"Combat Strategy, Set! Mesmero engaging Cyberman!"

And the battle was on.

[hitronwolf]

Hitronwolf: you know this isn't going to be a fair battle. have you concidered battleing my Brother Luso?*Of couce he knew Luso would reject*

[Luso]

"Yes I have. Your brother doesn't concern me" Luso said as Mesmero delivered a powerful Bugdeath sword hit to Cyberman.

"Hitronwolf, you'll have to operate me some time!" He cried as he got simalteaniously slashed by a Water and Flame Sword.

"Yes. This isn't too much fun you know." Mesmero said after throwing 4 shuriken.

All hit Cyberman.

As Cyberman's hit points reached 0, the program deep within him started to activate. Then after a showy display of lights, he was gone forever.

"That takes care of that." Luso said as Mesmero returned to his PET.

Luso left the cell door firmly shut as Hitronwolf lay in a sobbing heep on the floor.

[hitronwolf]

Solo: then here's your chance Luso. Jack in Cendream Power up.

Vega: lets end this Mesmero.

Hitronwolf: All right, Solo, go get 'em.

[Luso]

OOC: How would your brother find this place? We took all tracking devices from you or the other prisoners, so its impossible for him to find us.

[Van]

OOC: I bugged them when I was in Thomas' computer. And yes it was all copy data, Van has plenty to spare.

"Good god you moron, you're taking all my clones." Van said as he read a message on his PET. At the same time a girl with short blue hair over her right eye in a blue stealth suit was sneaking into the cells to free the "cavalry". "You guys ok?" the girl asked as she unlocked their cells, conveniently place next to each other. She then proceded with Van's classic disappearing trick, taking them with her.

She then appeared outside Van's dorm door. "Back." She said as she walked into the room. "Ahh good. Everything is- Where is Rokuto?" Van asked, unusually puzzled "Oh yea, he was held up. He'll be here soon." The girl replied. "Good then. Luso took all the dummy data, you did launch the satillite with the real data and encrypt it right Lunisa?" "Yea, I wrote the coding down here, so we can memorize and destroy it." "Then it's about time to counter attack. Out first target is Luso. He's know for using clone robots and leaving gaping holes in his plans. So then we'll strike when the time is right, soon enough."

"Just the a lightly armored man with long spiky red hair, Piercing red eyes, and a crimson PET walked in. "Am I late?" he asked. "No, just in time. Here, memorize this code. And burn it after you're done." Van said handing him a paper. "Hey why happened here?" the red headed man asked. "Luso, the wannabe villain we're going after. He's been a pain in the neck for far to long. But don't worry I have another base for us." Van said as he burned the codes to ashes. "Oh and Rokuto, feel free to screw his room. It is you specialty."

[Ace]

Chris pinched Van in the neck, and he fell. It was a major pressure point in the body. The man and girl were staring at him, the man looking to make a move. Chris seemed to disappear, then they felt a painful squeeze on the back of their necks. They fell. He checked to make sure this was the real one. It was. "Nothing personal. I'm on your side. But I have a mission to carry out, and you playing hero is getting in the way." Chris had an unusually dark glare to his eyes. "My mission is not evil. But I do not wish to do it myself." He disappeared again. He appeared behind Solo. "Stop." Solo was so startled, he dropped the P.E.T. and Mesmero took a final slash. [Vegadata.EXE, deleted.] "It wasn't the real...oh well. Doesn't matter right now." Solo lunged at him with anger. Chris sidestepped and tripped him. He fell, and then he put his foot on his back. He pinched the pressure point on his neck. "Playtime's over. I'm getting serious." He disappeared again. This time, into a remote location not on the island. Untracable by any sort of means. Even the Mist, or "Myst", program.

[Van]

OOC: For the record these guys are highly trained warriors, they would stand there. They would knock you out in a second and proceed to contain you. Just noting that.

"Morons all of them." Van said from his hidden base that no one else could find. "Good thing I made so much dummy data. Thanks to you as well Lunisa, your robots are so very life like. Not even Chris could tell the difference. We'll have to take care of him next. Too bad, that puts Thomas at the bottom of the list. Alright, team 1 goes after Luso, I'll come as well. Team 2 goes for Chris. We'll dismiss when I say so. Until then no one but us can get in this island base, let alone find it." Van said as he continued with specific directions.
