Experimentals (reboot)

When the gunshot rang out and Violet ran in closing the door behind her, Claus quickly moved away from the door and dropped to the ground behind a nearby wall, hoping to avoid any stray sniper fire that might come their way.
"A sniper...they could be just about anywhere. I doubt that I would be able to sense them from here."
Shaking his head, he turned to Violet.
"We should make that sniper our top priority. Until we know for certain who they are and who their target is, there's always the chance they could be a threat. It wouldn't do us much good to find Arc or Argon or whatever his name is if we end up taking a bullet to the head for our trouble."
He then turned his head back to the door, listening closely to see if he could hear more gunfire.
"If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would certainly be open to them right now. Otherwise, I suppose the only sensible course of action would be to lay low for a while and hope that the matter resolves itself."

 

Violent responded to them after remembering what Arc had told her earlier.
"There are a lot of us who have been experimented on, so it could be anything. But I do have a suspicion it is related to Argon. He told me the rest of our unit was used in an experiment, and with the exception of me, everyone else is built to work together for different tasks, as one entity. A shared consciousness. Everyone has their role and their unique abilities, and they are trying to get him forced back into their group. Chances are, that must be a gunner or sniper that is part of this experimental unit shooting at Argon. I don't know why, unless they just want to maim him for capture. If we hear a second shot, it will probably mean that Argon was not killed after the first, or, I could be entirely wrong and someone is just hunting with a big rifle."
She knew that if the threat was targeting anyone it could see, it would be best to be unseen. This meant one would need to creep behind cover or turn invisible. For her, turning invisible would be faster, and she began stripping off her clothes quickly.
"I'm going to make use of my camouflage and take a look from someplace high to figure out the source of the gunfire. Unless you can sneak around from something you have no idea what it is or can turn invisible, I suggest you stay behind until I come back."
She was stark naked now, a pile of her military surplus clothes at her. But that did not matter to her, as her advanced color-changing skin based off of chameleon biology turned her nearly invisible as she undressed. Walking to the door, she heard another gunshot just like before.
"I wonder if that one killed him." She dryly spoke when she stopped at the door. "I'll go out and check now, come along if you want."

Arc knew where the sniper Six was located. When he tried to run past the other side of the building he was hiding behind, a shot slammed down in front of him. Some seconds later, the gunshot echoed.
Those are some fast reflexes that guy has. I'll be stuck here unless his view can be obscured or if I can tunnel into the ground, which I can't do.

 

OoT: Sorry for the long Hiatus, Laptop just recently repaired and cleared work so gonna try to get back into the grove of things. Enough excuses time to post!

Blaze giving a exasperated sigh decided it would be best if he just didn't argue, but he wouldn't get anything done if he got drunk.
"Alright, you said that was just a warm up? What's the real part of your training then?' Blaze asked getting up from the stone bench the pair was sitting on.
Cracking her knuckles Frost got up began walking over to a stone pillar. "Ordinarily target practice, speed tests, that sort of thing... but seeing as you came here to observe and then try to learn something those won't work.....*Sigh* I guess I'll start from the basics then, Make a fireball or bolt or something"
"Uhhh How?"
As Blaze gave Frost a dumbfounded look she returned it with one of her own after his question.
"What do you mean how? You are the one with fire powers not me!" clutching her forehead Frost realize she would have to start back at truly the basics. "You do have power, right? This hasn't been some sort of bad joke? When did you actually use them?"
"Yes I have powers, I wouldn't joke about being put through that type of torture! As for using them.... I'm not sure exactly how but if i snap my fingers while thinking about it, I can make a bright flash that blinds.... Oh and i manage to make a stream of fire once, but was about to die so can't really count that as knowing how"
Frost just shook her head at Blaze, which to his dismay didn't help the situation
"Well how did you learn huh, there has to be some way seeing as we just don't know about them"
"That's like asking a lion how it roars, how an artist makes his masterpiece, how a musician makes music he enjoys... There is no set way you just figure it out, I was forced to or die at the labs during the testing. it doesn't really matter how, just that you know you can and you find your way of doing it. Now watch" Frost angrily ranted before effortlessly forming an ice claw. "I made this without even thinking, breathing, and it moves as if it was one with me. I can't explain how i make it do so it just does, ever since i first had to make a claw its been like this. Now you need to do the same, make your fire work without effort!" Without warning Frost lunged after Blaze aiming to strike him down.
With no idea what had gotten into her and no chance to dodge Blaze reflexively put his hands out, and a small jet of fire came out. Frost smiled and blew a gentle chill of breathe extinguishing the fire, her sudden charge got the response she wanted.
"Now see, you can't explain how you did it, but you made it happen. Now take that and experiment, test want you can do. Use those notes, see what all they have. Now If you don't mind..." Frost gave a stretch before continuing on training. She began shredding several pillars of the build, performing beautiful acrobatic moves while landing strikes and moving at break neck speeds.

Panting after her display, Frost grabbed Blaze's bottle of sake and downed it before calling Blaze who also was winded from testing his powers.
"Haaa, come on, this should be enough of a start.... Hmmm i think one of the others houses are near here. Wonder if it would be rude to go check on them"
"I don't see why not, if anything it will be to make sure they are okay"
"Alright let's head then"

 

OOT: Brother Ginger! I knew you'd come. Wonderful!

Unfazed by Violet's nudity, Claus considered their situation carefully as she left to investigate.
"This would be much easier if I could get my hands on the sniper rifle I had on the island...well, I suppose it can't be helped."
He turned to Leah, motioning outside.
"I'm going out through the back entrance. If nothing else, I can get a better idea of where the sniper fire is coming from if I hear it outside. Stay low and stay behind cover."
He ducked down and made his way out through the back entrance, staying close to the wall as he looked around. As far as he could tell, the gunfire wasn't coming from behind the house, just as he assumed. Carefully, he made his way to the corner of the building and poked his head around the corner to see if he could find anything. Unfortunately, there was nothing out of the ordinary within his eyesight. He let out a slight groan of frustration, quietly cursing his lack of a scope or even a set of binoculars.
"Well, at the very least, it seems that there are no hostiles in the immediate area. Of course, that still means the sniper could be...anywhere but here."

Just as he was thinking that to himself, his ears perked up and he heard footsteps quickly approaching along with heavy, ragged breathing. Whoever it was, they were coming quickly and Claus readied himself for them to turn the corner. When they did so just a moment later, he reacted almost instantly, grabbing the intruder and slamming them against the wall. Then, in the same swift movement, he turned them around and locked them in a sleeper hold, whispering in their ear to avoid drawing attention.
"Identify yourself."
His grip quickly loosened as he took a closer look at the intruder and realization set in...the realization that he was currently choking a very shocked and confused Masato.

When Claus let him go, Masato gasped for air and gave Claus a bewildered and somewhat indignant about.
"What was that all about?!"
He questioned Claus in a quiet but very angry whisper, to which Claus merely shrugged.
"I thought you were the enemy."
"You know, I got that."
"In all fairness, you ran right towards my house. You really should have seen this coming."
"Remind me to never do you any more favors."
Claus tilted his head slightly.
"Favors...?"
Masato picked up the duffel bag that he'd dropped during his scuffle with Claus and nodded.
"Atlas got me a ride over here and sent this with me; he said it had some of your gear in it. He figured you might need it pretty soon and boy, was he right about that."
"Hmm. Impeccable timing."
He opened the door and motioned for Masato to step in. He did so and Claus quickly followed behind him, closing and locking the door behind himself as he did. The two of them carefully made their way back to Leah, staying low and moving as carefully as possible. When they made it, Claus spoke up.
"Finally, a little bit of good news. Masato was nearby and he's brought us something to even the playing field."
Masato waved to Leah and motioned towards the bag.
"Got some guns here, you want in on this, Leah?"

 

Having stepped out of the house, Violet began to leave the area. Looking back, she wondered if maybe the others would join in on her search for Arc.
Will they come or not? Not that it matters to me.

Meanwhile, Arc searched for a way of getting past the miles-away sniper.
"He has me pinned. Given enough time, I should be able to figure a way of here."

Six looked through the scope of his 30-foot rifle. The barrel utilized an odd collapsible system for transport, and it fired slugs that weighed a tenth of pound. His target hid from him at a range of roughly eight miles.
"Five, I have the location of Thirteen. Transmitting it to you now. He has destroyed Three and Four."
Five, who had been knocked out of the helicopter when Two was killed earlier, had been recovered from the sea and redeployed to search for Arc. Five rapidly ran through the streets, venting flames from his back in an "X" pattern to propel and maneuver him through the abandoned urban landscape.
"Acknowledged, Six. I will flame him out."
"One has become interested in Thirteen's survival capabilities and skill. A message from One: 'Already, he has killed Two, Three and Four. Do not let yourself continue this consecutive kill count, Five.' Understood?"
It was at this moment Five Saw Arc. The screech of his super-heated flame thrusters caught Arc's attention, and he turned around to see where the sound was coming from.
"Message understood, Six. Target spotted."
"Commence attack, Five."
"Commencing attack, Six."
Five launched into the air above the buildings, killing his thrusters and flying through the air silently. When he reacehed the pinnacle of his air-born arc, his thrusters blasted at full power and he rocketed towards Arc to bash him

OOT:
Haven't posted lately due to work and getting busy with a custom drone build.

 

Masato nodded back.
"Sure thing."
He began to dig through the bag and soon pulled out a 9mm pistol which he handed to Leah.
"Something like this ought to work."

Claus was about to reach into the bag when he saw Leah holding a pistol, which made him hesitate slightly.
"Hmm...?"
Something about seeing Leah with a gun made him pause for a moment and take a closer look.
"That...isn't the first time you've held a pistol. Something about it looks familiar, though I can't quite figure out why."
He shook his head and turned his attention back to the duffel bag.
"Well, that can wait for another time. We have more pressing matters to take care of."
As he spoke, he pulled out a familiar-looking sniper rifle, inspecting it briefly before giving a nod of approval.
"Here I thought I wouldn't need this again so soon. What a day this has been."
He slung it over his back, muttering out loud.
"I still have doubts as to how viable a laser rifle is for stealth."

With a wide grin, Masato pulled out a familiar laser rifle and turned it on.
"Eh. It's pretty cool, though."

Claus also pulled out a pair of binoculars and handed them to Leah.
"If you wouldn't mind, it would be handy to have a spotter since we still have no idea where this sniper is hiding."
When they finished picking out their gear, Claus brought them together to discuss their strategy.
"We'll start by going out the back door again. From there, we'll have to move from cover to cover while we're looking for the sniper. We'll have to be quick about it since Violet had quite a head start on us, but whatever you do, don't be careless."
He gave a quick glance to Masato in particular, who couldn't help being a little offended.
"Let's move. Stay low, follow my lead and do not stay out in the open any longer than you have to."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you just make yourself team captain? Because I don't remember us taking a vote on that."
"Fair enough. Would you like to take the lead?"
Masato sat in stunned silence for a moment before giving a defeated shake of his head. Claus rolled his eyes.
"I thought as much."
As Claus made his way to the back door, Masato turned to Leah and whispered.
"Hey, are you sure you're gonna be okay? If you're not sure you can handle something like this, you can just leave it to me and Claus."

 

OOT: I've been a bad member again

As Blaze and Frost strolled the city streets headed toward the other members' house, they found themselves amidst crowds of all sorts. Frost gently wove between them without disturbing the other citizens, while Blaze was tossed about bumping and disrupting the crowds.
"First time in a big city I take it" Frost sneered sarcastically.
"No...I...just, oh sorry Ma'am!... hate crowds aaarugh!" Blaze yelled as he stumbled face first toward the curb that was hidden among the crowd.
As he about hit the street, a tug at his shirt saved him from kissing the concrete. Looking up he saw that Frost had grabbed him and began pulling him back to his feet.
"Come on we got a ways to go, so stop goofing off and get a move on"
"I'm not goofing off! You expect me to know how to navigate a place I've never been too?"
"Yes"
"...." After a few moments of silence Blaze sighed and began making his way through the crowds as best he could. Eventually the two cleared the crowds making it to a more peaceful section of the city. It was then Blaze took a moment to actually look around the city, it was far different from his home town.


"So where are we exactly Frost?"
"Hmm, well just outside the market at-"
"Not what I meant, I mean where in the world are we" Blaze interrupted Frost to make his question clearer
"Not sure, never bothered finding out. Given the climate... we could be anywhere" Frost shrugged her shoulders
"You aren't at all curious, whether you'll get home, if anyone is looking for you, if-"
"Not really" She gave a dismissive shake of her head "Besides my 'where' is one of my least concern"
"And those are?"
"My safety, not getting myself caught, my next meal, and looking after a certain group of 'like individuals'. One of which is with me asking alot of rather boring questions"
Catching Frost's hint Blaze stopped his barge of questions as the two continued on approaching a much smaller crowd of people

OOT: And the duo is headed toward the parents!

Union left his newly discovered, and favorite, bespoke tailor. He finally had on proper clothing - and went towards what used to be one of Zeus' old companies to pick up funds as well as odd bits and pieces to keep them safe on their journey out of the continent. What they needed was a new life, somewhere they wouldn't be hunted for their appearance, or what was done to them.

Spoiler: The Escape

The trio had woken up to what could on be described as an out of body experience. This was because they were no longer in their own bodies. Countless staff members rushed in and out of the room - all with the same clothing: usual scrubs, yet nothing covering the, , constantly making changes to the surroundings and giving them new fluids through an Intravenous drip. What little time they had awake through sedation, it could be seen that the room was heavily insulated and the ground was made of... soil? Regardless, the room was heavily damaged: scorch marks blackened the walls revealing carbon plating as the secondary layer which had had been mostly destroyed; it seemed like the room was a war zone.
Eventually it was explained to them - they had all been at the wrong place at the wrong time. A coach accident turned for the grim as the three men had been happily sitting side by side at one point. When the coach overturned, their bodies were crushed and they were all officially declared dead. That was before their corpses, or more accurately their heads were taken.
A robbery fitting the recent kidnapping's description had occurred however on a much larger scale. Multiple blacked-out vans had approached the police station morgue where the corpses were being kept and being processed for their port-mortem autopsy. It was NOT your run-of-the-mill invasion - armed men disappeared into one of the van, reappearing soon after with chains they yanked and attempted to pull something out to no avail. After a few moments of no response to the tugging, a child was brought out from one of the cars and gently placed where the chains originated.
"Do it, or we kill her."
A simple command and a gun pointed to the child's head was all it took. They dropped two small pistols at the entrance of the van as the kid was taken away, and the chains unlatched from the man's various connection points.
Le Flōch leaped out of the car almost immediately, picking up the guns on the way out. His next move catapulted him directly through the doors. For a few moments nothing was heard, then the building exploded. The man, however, was back at the vans with a bag full of heads which he carelessly threw at the men as well as dropping his guns on the floor before entering the van once more.
When the team returned, the heads were successful attached to a lab-grown body as well as certain... other enhancements being made.
After a while, the staff deemed the men ready to be rehabilitated and so it began. They were taught how to take turns controlling the body or how to take control when needed yet were not told what else was done to them. During their daily training, Ragnarok was in control - an error which the lab staff would later regret. His frustration at not being able to roll built up inside of him until it was too much. It all happened within a few seconds, yet half the lab seemed to have been attacked; flames began sprouting all around them, the sky above rumbled and lightening began raining down on the building, doors became unhinged and flew around. Everyone began panicking - multiple "experiments", better known as prisoners, began trying to escape, only to be shot down by the armed personnel. The sight of this threw the trio off the edge, they knew their fate would be similar had they not found a way out. During the confusion, Ragnarok had managed to snatch one of the larger staff members and choke him until he was unconscious before changing attire with him. They managed to then sneak out to the staff rooms, and from there out through the gates by using the cover of being well-behaved experiments which were allowed to roam the outside perimeter of the gates. Fortunately for them, no one had the time for verify if this was true or not since they were busy trying to reduce damage. From there, the men simply climbed the fence and ran. They took turns controlling the body and allowing each other to rest to provide maximum efficiency in their escape, and escape they did.

 

Not wanting to spend anymore time waiting for the rest of the group, Violet began jogging while her adaptive chromatic skin allowed to be become virtually invisible. In the distance, she noticed that rain clouds began to roll over a distant island Little did she realize, the distant storm prevented the sniper known as Six from being able to take a shot or make his presence known. As she looked, she happened to notice something rise into the air before launching downward, creating an low "thump".
That must be where Arc is. Gotta check there first.
Breaking into a sprint that surpassed the speed of the best athletes, Violet tore through the streets to reach the abandoned place she suspected Arc to be. Upon reaching the location, she saw a crater, and a man pressing Arc against a wall. Arc struggled momentarily, before a punch to the face knocked him unconscious.

 

Violet ran to the man who had apprehended Arc. Knowing that there would be no saving Five from the irreversible mind control that Arc had told her about, she leapt at the man and tackled him, grabbing him by the neck as she did so. Slamming him into the ground while still visible, she slid her hands up to the downed cyborg's head and gripped it. With the strength granted to her by the biological experiments she had undergone, she snapped the man's neck a little over a hundred and eighty degrees.
Five was dispatched with no resistance.
