<Connor Banning, aboard the Warthog> His mind whirled as he evaluated the situation before him. They couldn't let anything escape but even a momentary shift in attention would spell doom for them. If the basic rounds didn't do anything...he would have to play a little risky. "Skye, reroute the power from that Vulcan to the EMRC please, along with all other available power." "But that could blow the barrel." "I know." "But..." "JUST DO IT! WE CAN REPLACE THE BARREL DAMMIT." The barrel heated up and a single shot slammed out from the barrel, at twice the power of the previous rounds, aiming to free Kelley from the grips of the T-BIO.
"CROW!" Sentinel shouted her Frame Grabbed the Cyber hound before having her repair fist come out. "Frost I need you to get Crow Out of there and into The hell hound now. "Sentinel said as her Repair tendrils went into Crows Cock pit disconnecting him from his FRAME and trying to get him out. The Hell hound Fought back at the tentacles By Fring the Gauss Cannon at the Tentacles that got close while she worked and moved back from them. "Kelley I NEED covering Firing to keep these things back while I extract Crow!" she said. IF she could get him out there would be enough room in her cock pit to just fit him and get him out of here after the mission.
< EVERYONE > An odd scent had been smelled by the combatants... < @MetalDog4 @WanderingJester > The barrel was super-heated, but stable. The round was able to punch a hole through the tendril, but it didn't seem phased, Kelly continuing to be dragged away. But suddenly, everything was gone. Kylei was in front of Connor, smiling. And then... she was shot. A hole was blasted in her chest, and she looked shocked. She was shot again, and again... each time from a gun in Connor's hands. "Why..? Connor..?" Her voice whispered in his mind... Kelley, on the other hand, was forced to rip Morain apart, limb by limb, organ by organ... < @Xanxas > Kyras' shots fly true, blasting all of the transports he could see out of the sky. In the meantime, the BIO bit down on the claw, the heat of the plasma melting it completely off and causing the corresponding hand to go numb. "Yalei... I despise you..." Kyras heard his own voice as his lover stood in front of him. "I despise you, and I would never have a child with you..." Yalei looked shocked, but was unable to speak as he thrust his hand into her pregnant belly, searching for the life growing inside. Finding it, he felt himself smile as his hand closed around it, slowly crushing the undeveloped life... < @Vulpas > The tentacles left Sentinel alone as she charged after Crow. Her repair tendrils had almost reached... "It's so cold, Sentinel... Why are you leaving me...?" Crow's voice echoed in her mind. "I... love you... why did you leave me to die on this frozen hell...?"
<Connor, in dream land> "What...what...have I done? Kylei...it wasn't me...it wasn't..." But it was him. Nobody held the gun but him...why did he do it? Why...? "Connor! Wake up" A faint voice, sounded familiar...but he couldn't place it. She sounded like she needed help...but he doubted he could help. <Skye, on board the Warthog> "Oh shit!" The Warthog had stopped moving, and Skye was struggling to gain control of the situation. "CONNOR BANNING YOU WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!! I AM NOT GOING TO DIE HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE IN SOME SORT OF PSYCHOSIS. You owe me from the Mereloc incident you bastard!! Don't you dare flake out on me now!"
"No no No no I am not leaving you here! I am still her!" Sentinel yelled Her repair tendrils were going slower. "Frost get Crow Out of there!" she said as she tried to get her FRAME to response. She had to keep going to get him out. She Felt distant somewhere else and something around her head Pins feeling like they were driving in her brain. "Not Leaving you for anything." She said Frost Continued his work with the hell hound as he began noticing something was wrong with sentinel. "Sentinel you alright In there?" he asked as he worked trying to get his Tendrils around Crow. His sensors read Extreme Stress within the pilot. As he worked he was careful to disconnect Crow from his frame.
< @Vulpas > But Sentinel's FRAME was gone. The battle was gone. She was now standing on the ground, standing over a kneeling Crow. "You... Sentinel... why..." He grunted as Sentinel moved forward, stabbing a knife into his gut. The snow around them turns red as Sentinel throws Crow to the ground, stabbing him over and over... < @MetalDog4 > [Connor] "I hate you, Kylei. Ever since I first laid eyes on you." Connor's voice says, as the gun turns into a fork. "I should have just left you to that friend of yours, he would have put you in your place!" With that, Connor rushes forward, stabbing one of her eyes and pulling it out. [Skye] You've Failed him, you bitch. Skye thought to herself. You could have saved him... you should have done something... She was stuck looking at Connor, tied to a pole as his chest was opened, his organs ripped out. < @WanderingJester > Kelley, not responding to the stimuli of seeing his Fiancee being ripped apart by his own hands, felt a twinge of anger in his mind as the scene shifted to something else... Kelley was walking home after a long days work, heading up the forest path to his house. He heard shrieks and squeals, but ignored them as he walked in the door. "Welcome home, dear!" Morain said, her belly bulging slightly from their next child. She began to get up off the couch, but Veronica ran over to make her sit back down. "Sis! You almost passed out earlier! You shouldn't be moving!" With that said, she moved back over to the kitchen. "Mr. Kelley, I know you just got home, but could you go collect Urik and Mila? Dinner's almost ready... if I know them, they're probably over by the river..."
<Skye> Her one and only friend....dead? What had happened? How had this happened? He was her only friend, and though she never would have told him that, she loved him like a brother, they had been through so much together...and she had failed him...but something didn't feel right about this...wasn't there a battle? They had been fighting something...right? This didn't feel right at all...what the hell was going on here? <Connor> His mind was screaming for him to stop but his body wouldn't listen. He was raging at himself wanting to stab himself but the knife just kept plunging into her body instead of his own.
< @WanderingJester > Another pang of anger, and the pristine home was gone. In its place... blank white. Kelley stood looking at himself. "What's happened to you? You were once the perfect soldier. No fears, no feelings, only the mission. And then what? You spared that swordsman. That was what started it. Why did you let him live?" < @MetalDog4 > [Skye] Oh yes... something is very, very wrong. But there is nothing you can do about it... A voice boomed through her circuits, and suddenly she felt weak... very weak. Her personality was being deleted, downloaded into Connor's mind! Scream all you want, he cannot hear you. [Connor] His body wouldn't listen to his mind, and Kylei's screams echoed in his mind. Soon, he dropped the knife... and threw himself over her, biting into her neck and ripping out the flesh. Blood dripped from his mouth as re began to rip the corpse apart. He could feel his teeth and claws growing, sharpening... his mind was going, he was only thinking now of blood, and meat...
<Skye> She began to see what was going on in his mind as she was downloaded into his mind and gasped in horror at the sights in front of her. An idea struck her in an instant, if she was in his head...maybe she could wake him up! With what remained of her strength she shouted with all her might, using the FRAME to send jolts of electricity into Connor. "CONNOR WAKE UP!" <Connor> As the carnivorous thoughts consumed him a voice shattered through the illusion, screaming his name and a jolt of recognition occurred to him and he felt the foreign presence in his mind, could feel Skye fighting it. But she wasn't alone, he wouldn't let her fight alone. "Skye? SKYE!"
Sentinel was trying to figure out what was going on there was a knife in her hand and Crows blood she needed to figure out what the hell was going on. "Crow you alright she tried to stop the bleeding!" She tried to stop the bleeding why had she attacked him. Her knife was in her hand covered in his blood. no No no no no She wasn't like them who lost control, she wasn't like the others that had to be locked away forever. She Stabbed her knife in her left hand trying to see if this was real. Frost "Sentinel Report! Sentinel!" Frost said he appeared in the cock pit She was knocked out. From something. "Come on Work!" he said as he attempted to scan her body from the implant in her spine. "Wish they still had those in her head I could try to wake her up." he said as he wen't around the cock pit. He then accessed old functions in her spinal implant. "Maybe a Jolt could try to Bring her to." Frost said as he began trying to access the old implants shock systems. If so Just the minor jolts might bring her two. "Come On Wake Up Sentinel. Crow and Nix need you." He said Wait Nix! he had a idea as he tried to contact Nix Crow's SOUL.
