* ~ Previously, during the night... The time was 1:23 A.M. ~ *

- He ran, for some reason his feet kept telling him to just plain out run, and he trusted this feeling with his life, speeding past building after building as he searched for the entrance, although he couldn't make out that much besides the street lights, he knew he was late and had to make it back in time. Plus he had been a little reckless, as he could tell behind him, the two speeding cars gave chase as they tried to track him down. "Jeez, you think they would show me some more respect..." He spoke quietly to himself as he turned a corner, shortly hearing the two cars make it as they were slowly advancing, hoping to catch him. His heart quickened as he kept away from the lights they made, the sounds of the car's horns blasting out for all to move out of the way or be ruined. "All I wanted was to buy some lovely popcorn, and they go and tell me I'm two bucks short! Well, guess it looks like I'm going to sleep hungry again tonight!" He continued running down the street, searching for a sign, looking for a little sign of hope that would get him out of this trouble. Then he noticed it, a small little opening in the trees, a smirk grew on his face as he quickly increased his speed, the blue lines now appearing visible on his legs, as he made himself a blue blur for three seconds, before dashing into said opening and vanishing from the speeding cars line of sight. Continuing on the road, the drivers were baffled by where the sudden blur had gone, followed by angry shouting from the back of the lead car. Although he didn't know any of this, he felt satisfied for some reason. -

* ~ Morning, the time is 8:23 A.M. ~ *

~ He awoke with a headache and a growl from his stomach as he groaned a bit and put his arms over his stomach, looking around silently as he grabbed one of the three apples near his bed and took a big bite out of it, followed by two more as he smiled and put it back down by the other two, sitting up and stretching his arms up, he yawned out loudly as he got up after this and quickly used the bathroom. He took a shower as always, which lasted for six minutes with two of those minutes for him to spare. Then he brushed, which took about three minutes with 1.25 minutes to spare. Then he dried off, got into a t-shirt, some jeans, and finished his apple, taking about five minutes, with 2.8 minutes to spare. After making sure his hair didn't look like a mess, he exited his room and sighed out. "Why do I feel like someone's going to yell at me today...? I probably got on the news again or something, but who takes the time this early to notice, everyone's most likely asleep~" With this reassured confidence, he began to head down to get himself a large breakfast. The hideout was an old abandoned mansion somewhere in the woods, and while not perfect, it provided them with probably the best they had lived so far. How long would this peace last though, was the question they all had to ask themselves. ~

"Agent Karol, I assume you have your equipment ready. You are being dispatched to the nearest city to do some clean up work, the case to your right holds the full debriefing happy killing Dead Eye." With those final words the Abaddon hologram closed, and Vincent Karol snatched the files from out the case. Spreading them on the table in front of him sipping at his tea as he shifted through the papers. Sighing Vincent spoke to himself "A god damned runner, and a flame starter in the same town." Pushing the flies back into place scrapping them as he stood opening the luggage compartment on the his privet room within the train, pulling down his Terra Skin nano suit and began to get dressed and ready for the war he would be starting. Attaching his pistols to the hip of the armor then putting civilized clothing over it, slicking his hair back and throwing on the sunglasses. Kicking his feet upon the table relaxing "All passengers attention all passengers, terrorists are on board please compile with their demands and surrender your valuables." The sound of gunshots rung through the PA system after the message was passed on. Grunting and pulling his guns from the nano suit Vincent sprinted through the door firing three shots into the first terrorist dropping him in a instant.

Keeping his body against the wall Vincent slowly advanced peering around the corner gaining the view of no one, slowly stepping out of the cover of the wall moving up peaking his head through 5 doors before reaching the end of the hallway. Pushing the door open slowly watching the men slowly murder women and children, Vincent busted forward slamming the handle to the gun into a mans chin. Spinning his pistol in the other firing 7 shots as it rotated around his finger, then bringing it around killing the one he had hit originally. Turning to the liberated hostages, Vincent spoke "Start moving in the direction I came from all the terrorists are on this side of the train" and with those words the women and children took off. Crouching down as he advanced down the next hallway finding no one, Vincent changed direction and movied toward the control room. A tall red headed woman stood there gazing at Vincent as he stood with his pistol ready. "Ah and here I thought I would rob a train without Abaddons watchdog coming after me." She spoke flipping her hair back, her green eyes dimly glew while she glared at Vincent. " I'll kill you and get this over with" Vincent said opening fire upon the woman, she skillfully jumped over Vincent flinging a fireball into his back. Being blasted forward by the attack Vincent turned and rapidly fired the guns spinning the pistol in his right hand turning and twisting it shooting at different angles hitting the woman in the shoulder chest and knee. Dashing towards her Vincent put the last bullet in her head, "one down" He thought to himself as he opened the door to the next train car throwing her off the train.

Entering the control room again leading the train to its first stop within the city, then vanishing when the local police showed up to intestate the train. Leaving the station and heading into the bathroom removing the nano suit and changing into fresh clothing, with a shrug Vincent was upon the city.

Throwing a look that appeared casual over her shoulder, Namie felt rather than saw her hand slip through the man's coat, a small red glow surrounding it. She felt the rather large wallet, gripped it, and phased it right through the coat and into her own pocket. The man remained unaware that he walked beside a pickpocket. Hiding her grin with her hand, she straightened her tan beret and split off the sidewalk and into an alley, the beginning of a network of sidestreets and shortcuts. She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her beige shorts and whistled an upbeat tune. Her victim would most likely realize his wallet was missing in about an hour or two, give or take, if he didn't enter any shops or such. Namie stopped her whistling to give a half-smile of triumph. Sucker. Nothing like an early morning treasure hunt.

Namie decided not to examine the contents of her bounty until she reached the hideout. She slinked about the alleyways, careful to watch where she stepped. A man stepped out of the darkness. A knife flashed. Namie phased right through the guy, taking a few seconds to adjust, turned around and met the guy's face with a roundhouse kick. He dropped, out cold. Another sucker. "That's a two-fer," she laughed and strode off.

Reemerging near the train station, Namie restarted her whistling and looked around a couple times. Then, she turned on her heels, rubbing the leather wallet with her thumb. Wow, she was in a good mood this morning. About fifteen minutes later, she was in a thinned out section of the city. Pretty soon, she could see the trees. She slipped off the sidewalk and into the woods, following discreet landmarks she'd memorized. Namie started jogging. Minutes later, she found herself in front of the looming mansion. Their home.

Upon entering, she saw her companion in the kitchen, fixing himself quite a large meal. She hopped onto the counter and opened the wallet, pleased to see a few hundred dollar bills in there, along with a few credit cards. The guy had been well off. What luck. She dropped the bills on the table and greeted her friend. "Yo."

A frantic scribbling echoed around the dark room, a eerie blue-green glow emanates from the corner that the sound is based in. A raspy, voice seems to chuckle as the scratching of pencil on paper ceases. A moment of utter silence. Two. Then the blue-green glow fades to black. Not more than a second later, a yellow glow fades into view across the room, accompanied by a deep chortle. The yellow glow's voice speaks. "Yes yes Thane, this is quite good. Let us see here." The yellow glow seems to split into two, the second half copying the first glow's blue-green hue. "Yes Marcel isn't it glorious? After all these years," Thane says to the yellow. "After all this time, finally more are coming back. Abbadon is up to it's old tricks isn't it?" However, the yellow glow, Marcel, has disappeared. Three of Thane's mask eyes focus on the small scrap of paper, the other half focusing on anything they can. A faint yellow glow hovers in some of the eyes. "Yes Marcel, sleep. Soon you won't be the only one who can speak with me. No no, the others will come." A dim light blinks on overhead, casting shadows all across the room. On the paper in The Lich's hand are names and the word 'Abbadon'. Scattered around the room are more slips of paper, identical to this one, with hundreds of names crossed out. "Yes yes, and these tender little children, well they'll be what Marcel needs to help us for a few more decades." The Lich sinks into the shadow as the list flutters to the ground. "Mister Karol, Miss Sekruez, Miss Hathaway, and this boy who calls himself 'Thunder'," His voice whispers as the last bit of his head disappears into darkness. "They'll be just fine." The shadows warp and twist themselves onto the point where The Lich was levitating, making a sort of vortex. Spinning first up and obliterating the slowly swinging light-bulb then down into the earth, the last traces of The Lich in this room faded alongside a dark and sinister laugh.

Adjusting the Bluetooth ear-bud that the tech worker from Abaddon gave him as a call ran through. "Mister Karol. Good work in dealing with that little occurrence on the train, one rouge down and your next target should be Namie Sekruez . The Miss.Sekruez has escaped our grasp, and is acting out upon the act of you killing Kenneth. Someone else took the credit flaunting to Sekruez, and that cost them their life." The Abaddon operator told him, raising his brow and walking away from a small crowd "WHAT!" Vincent said yelling into the ear bud " Who the hell took the credit for my kill, I put bullets into that mans eyes and you're telling me someone took the credit." Vincent was passed all forms of anger, killing Sekruez ment close to nothing to him. For another member of Abaddon to think of taking the glory and fame for killing such a powerful man drove Vincent's emotions rampant.

"Silence Mister Karol, just find the Sekruez and kill her." The operator commanded and dropped the call leaving Vincent to search for his new target in order to be brought back home. Running his fingers through out his hair Vincent pressed forward into the nearest place for food. Stopping by in a deli, walking up to the counter dropping a $20 dollar bill "Bacon, ham, egg and cheese sandwich on a roll. Keep the change" Vincent spoke to the worker standing at the desk as he walked to a chair by the window. The worker nodded and made his way toward the back of the deli preparing the meal. Gazing outside the window as a small red glow caught his eyes, focusing in on the girl walking behind the man watching her as she stole the mans wallet "Sekruez..." Vincent said to himself shaking his head and adjusting his eyesight to normal. He rose from the table stanching the sandwich from the mans hand sprinting out of the store losing track of Sekruez for a second, then catching back up to her keeping a good 200 feet distance between the two following her to a old mansion.

stopping about 100 feet from the mansion downing his sandwich while he got set up in the forest like area. Vincent cursed himself for leaving the sniper rifle back at the base, from this distance killing her would be impossible with a pistol. He knew of Sekruez's power and to finish her, he would have to surprise the girl, something that would be easy for him to do. Changing back into the nano suit Vincent squatted down readying himself.

~ He had concentrated on making half of the table full with just food for him, for some reason he knew he wasn't going to get that far as he wiped his forehead with his arm and let out a tired sigh as he walked back into the kitchen to prepare some more food when he heard someone sitting on the counter and putting down a few bills. When he looked over, he found himself looking at Namie, although he had no idea where she had been, he hoped she hadn't known what he had done last night. Time was running out, and he needed to eat fast, but then again he always did feel like a brother in the group, so why would he go and hide? If there was someone who had a problem with what he did, they should tell him, and he would be terrified most likely. "...What did you do?" He asked her, assuming she had stolen as he knew she had been known to do it several occasions when she first joined, after she got comfortable in the group, that is. "Don't tell me you stole again, oh, you know how I hate it when you do that! Do you realize what you just did to that person's life?! I mean, I'm not saying we're a group of heroes mind you, but we are also not suppose to look like villains! If people started to assume we were out to get them, they would be terrified of us! Just..." He took a moment to calm himself, he knew everyone must be starting to wake up by now, and he couldn't keep himself or his food waiting. "....What did you do...?" ~

*** Meanwhile, in a dark room, the two men stared at monitors of some of Abaddon's elite soldiers being trained, they saluted like soldiers, they marched like real soldiers, they carried firearms like soldiers, but they had something a little different, enhanced armor. "Sir, I do believe with all do respect towards our elite group, why we are allowing this fool to try to kill one of the people we are trying to take?" The man in the chair simply patted his cigarette with a finger, letting it's ashes fall into the ash tray, before putting it back in his mouth for another intake. When he pulled it away, a lot of smoke would emit from his nostrils and mouth, his form becoming a bit wispy before returning to a physical like state. "Because this is a test of survival of the fittest, mind you. Abaddon's forces are meant to be trained in the ways of the strong, if they cannot handle a real life and death situation, there is no just in the world. I want them to be ready physically and mentally, if they die, then we find another group. However, we have only one chance to see if this group will be the one we have been looking for. Now then, tell me about the boy who recently escaped from my clutches...? The one who's name they forbid to say to even my face." ***

Alex was sitting under a tree cooking fish. He was leaned back relaxing waiting for the fish to get done. His backpack was off to his side. With a hidden dagger under his upper arm in his hand as he had his arm crossed. Alex knew that someone would be after him soon,it had been more then over a month or so since he left. He sighed as he closed his eyes. The hand that held the dagger tightens as pulled his right hand acrossed the Abaddon logo that was located on his chest. He reached out and grabbed the fish that was cooked and started to eat still having his weapon hidden. "I wonder who they will sent." he said as he scanned the area like if he was on a mission on his own. "Well who ever it may be.." he trailed off as he took another bite. As soon as he was done he pulled the dagger out of hidding and put it back in its sheath. Alex then snuffed out the fire and picked up his bag and started walking off trying to stay away from the city.

(Hey I'm kinda behind due to teh time zones here. I'll post after I get all of your posts read. Sorry! )

Namie sniffed indignantly and hopped off the counter, crossing her arms. Her attitude was emerging. "Does it matter? Thanks to me, we have money. Besides, it's not like the guy knew it was me. If everyone suspected us, we wouldn't be here." Sighed turned away, heading towards the door. On her way out, she added, "And now, I'm going to do it again." She slammed the door on her way out instead of phasing through, if only just for the sake of slamming it. 

After storming out, Namie paused after disembarking the porch. She looked about, feeling... watched. She shrugged and began weaving through the trees, not wanting to overuse her power. She didn't have a real goal in mind; she didn't feel like stealing again though she said she was going to. Namie settled for walking aimlessly about the forest, looking for something to do. 

Rose was outside. She had woken before the sun and wanted to go out fro a walk. Nightmares took over her night these days. Almost every night The thoughts and sound. Images that didn't belong to her. She hopped over a fallen tree. the grass was still wet from the morning dew. The forest was quite in the morning and her mind was silent. She liked the calm. it wasn't something she got to see often. She took a deep breath and sighed. She moved slowly towards a house. It was an old victorian style. Quite nice for what they had seen in the past. You couldn't see it from the road and the drive was now over grown with grass and trees so it was safe. Well as far as safe went for them. She had been on the run for a while now but had only recently join with the others. She was so use to being on her own. It was still a little hard for her to adjust but she thought she was doing quite well. She started towards the house when she stopped. She wasn't far from the house but she could feel 1 more person then she should have. She got low and into the grass. she was completely silent when she got in view of the house. She scanned the area and saw no one. But she could feel someone. She closed her eyes and pushed her mind. That was when she felt him. Laying in the grass under cover. She was behind him. Thunder and Namie were in the house just beyond. They didn't know he was there. She pushed her thoughts into his mind. It was a far distance but focusing on one person was easy.

"I see you." She pushed the word into his head.

She needed to get closer. It was a strained distance for her. She go closer staying silent now. She needed to get them out. But how? She could yell? No they would just run out the front door. She looked around. Nothing that would help her in a fight. She then knew what she had to do. She pulled any thoughts from the mans mind of hearing any sounds behind him. It as starting to give her a head ache now. She needed to move quickly. She then ran and jumped onto the man making more noise then she wanted to. She tried to get the gun she saw out of his hands and managed to have it tossed a few yards away. She then pushed as hard as she could to the others. Trying to make sure everyone in the house could get her message.

"RUN NOW! BACK NOT FRONT!" She pushed feeling her head pound instantly and her eye sight go a little fuzzy.

Adjusting the nano suit around his chest and gazing far into the old mansion watching their very move as if he was standing right up front. They were concentrated in a kitchen area, the male was arguing with Sekrueze. With a slight grin, Vincent knew how he could easily take advantage of whatever they were debating about all he had to do was to move around to the sides of the mansion without being seen. Keeping both of them in sight as he readied himself for the attack

"I see you." The words echoed through hes head, at this point Vincent was overly alarmed how could anyone break into the defenses that Abaddon had in place within is mind not to leak any information. Whoever it was they had a heavy control over the mind and their ability was reflected as so when even Vincents sense of hearing was cut off momentary impeding is reactions by a half. He cursed the Abaddon for not telling him that a telepath was around the target area, Vincent wasn't prepared and was surprised he knew that the telepath would be able to reach out to Sekruez before he could even get to her. Feeling a lighter body on his back shifting his view attempting to peer over as she knocked the gun from his grasp.

"Imbecile" Vincent yelled out in anger flipping her off of his back using all of his power throwing her in front of him, pulling his second pistol from his side. Obviously she didn't observe the situation well, a mistake she would pay for with her life. Volating the policy of attacking Abaddon members by a lesser was punishble by death. "You should have hit me with something now your chances of living are pretty low, love" Vincent said laughing and grinning widely. Aiming his gun up attempting to shoot her in the stomach then shoulder.

~ His heart sank as something entered into his mind, his head began to feel like it was being overloaded at the moment as he gritted his teeth furiously now. He quickly rushed out, leaving the food he had taken so long to prepare for, and his eyes quickly wandered. Behind him he knew he could hear two figures beginning to take action. No, no! He thought to himself. I can't let them kill anyone, not today of all days! With that he slammed his hands quickly on the ground and, the blue lines erupting up his legs, he dashed off like a speeding bullet towards where the struggling came from. His instincts came in to attack, but he knew better then to go for a kill, his heart would never allow him to do such a horrible thing. Upon seeing the two struggling, his worst fears began to erupt when he saw the pistol being aimed, and suddenly his wrath blinded him. Speeding around like he was turning a corner, he shot himself forward again and outstretched his leg as he approached the man with the pistol. Aiming to knock his left leg out as he passed, Thunder's speed was out of control now as either way, his body would be sent flying into a tree as he felt his leg collide with it, yelling out in pain as he held it close to him, rocking back and forth as his eyes were closed tightly. He felt himself begin to sweat now also, he was tired from having ran all the way here with super speed, but he still had to fight, somehow, he had to try! ~

## The two figures Thunder had heard emerged out of the Mansion shortly after he left, both of them were intimidating in appearance. One stood at a height of six feet five inches, his white t-shirt revealed the muscles that had grown over the years, but he was no body-builder, but for a young man at only twenty-one years old, it was still impressive. The other stood at a height of five feet nine inches, unlike the other who only wore a t-shirt and shorts, he wore a pair of jeans and a nice button-shirt on the top. He also wore a hat on his head, while the taller one wore sunglasses over his eyes. They both looked in the direction Thunder had gone off in, assuming the worst: Abaddon had found them. "Shall I dispose of him now with his own weapons?" The shorter one spoke, adjusting his hat to keep the sun out of his eyes while the one with sunglasses began to walk. "If you get close enough to him Darren, yes. I am allowing everyone a kill the enemy on sight objective. No mercy towards our enemy." He spoke, shortly afterword Darren rushed over to be by the taller one's side. "Very well, Ben, and what will you do if you find him?" Darren asked him, as Ben slowed down his pace a bit to let Darren go ahead. "I'll crush his head with my bare hands!" With those words spoken, Darren quickly raced off towards the scene, leaving Ben to wander and think. Thunder was right about one thing, neither were afraid to kill loyal dogs of Abaddon. ##

Seemlessly flipping over the speeding man, something that he was expecting to fight a runner a fast one at that. If Vincent's eyes weren't so powerful he would have his leg broken in 20 different places from the sheer speed of impact. Watching the man fling himself into the tree holding his injured leg close to him, the pain of the impact was written across his face.The uncontrollable speeds brought more pain to the man rather than Vincent shooting him, but he couldn't take any chances sighing as he kept his vision on the downed girl. Walking toward the gun that she knocked out of his hand picking that one up while keeping his pistol aimed at the girl, "God you people make things so easy, I was sent to kill Sekruez and I get two other traitors how...HOW DARE YOU." Vincent's calmness faded and the other side took over, with a laugh a dark twisted one. Spinning his pistols in a sinister way firing 9 bullets toward the downed speedster, "Move out of the way from that."

Vincent's hands trembled, as he held the pistol towards the girl peering past her as another made his way toward the group. This is something completely unexpected, the hate was written across the face of the one who was advancing. This forest would be come a deadly battle ground, but Vincent could careless only the killing interested him. Lifting his pistol as he walked past the girl firing at the man sprinting their way, "This forest will be your resting place..." Vincent's voice was changed distorted, evil echoed as he spoke the drive to kill was to much the feeling of washing away life entered his brain almost clouding his thoughts with every step.

"What is this pain...this glorious feeling of ending life...why is my mind twisted...thinking is so difficult...but releasing this anguish means more...Kill...Kill...Kill everything" Vincent's mind was twisted and in pain but he didn't know why would this happen now why would he lose control of himself the side of death was calling out to him. It had already taken control everything around him needed to die in a bloody mess. Trying to refocus Vincent backs away stumbling back while holding the guns up laughing crazed before trying to stand again.

Namie froze. "...I was sent to kill Sekruez..." Had she heard right? Then again, how could she mishear her own last name? She took in the scene. Rose and Thunder were engaged in combat with an armed man. The dude looked seriously psycho. She shivered. She was not in the mood for psychos.

A thought occured to her. If he was after me in the first place, maybe I can lead him away... She didn't allow herself time to consider all the things that could possible go wrong. Namie sized up the guy. His back was to her. Goodie. She swiftly hauled herself up into a tree. Standing up on a sturdy branch, she called out to the assailant. "'Ay!" she yelled. "Namie Sekruez is right here and ready to beat yer ass, ya damn psycho!"

Alex was closer to the shots then he exspected. He crouched down moving towards the shots. When he got close enough to house to see Vincent, he knew that it was not going to be an easy fight. "Well I guess i'll wait. No one knows i'm here yet." He said as Thunder rushed passed him hitting a tree. "What the?!" he whispered as he jumpped out of the way and quickly pulled out his dagger. Alex walked over to Thunder. When standing over Thunder he heard more gun shots. He quickly through Thunder out of the way and he himself ran out of the way. "Hide speedy. Vincent will not let anyone get out of here alive..." he said as he dropped his backpack off then running out into the open. He ran out into the open. "Namie get in the house. He has hawk eyes and good reflexes." he said as he ran for the house. "Those are his powers." said as he got closer.

"Oh poor Namie, always playing the part of the 'bad child'." The Lich's voice echoed around the yard, reverberating in everyone's skulls. "Why don't you just take a break and come with us? Little Vinnie won't bother you where we're headed." His masked face poked out of the shadow she cast on the tree. "All you need to do is take our hand and hold on tight. That simple." Under the skin-like mask, he smiled and the chin stretched downward with his chin.

Rose Felt the man throw her to the ground and pull the gun and point it at her. Her adrenaline began to pump through her. Her vision was still a little blurry bust she saw Thunder go through the trees. The man but down the gun and walked away from her towards someone behind her. Two men came from around the house. She could tell something was wrong with the man with the gun he seemed to loose it. Rose got up quickly and moved towards Thunder. She could hear Namie yelling from a tree. She tried to wave her down quickly. She saw another boy Alex. Her eyes were now starting to clear he seemed to be on there side.

"We need to get out of here! They guy with the gun has gone crazy. He can distract them while we make a break for it!" She said hoping Namie had seen her.

(Alright, let's try to go by the order from here on. The order, as far as I know at the time, will be Me, Beach, Black, Aira, Reaper, Sword. I want to quickly thank everyone for adapting to this and I hope we can grow stronger with this)

~ Thunder felt so useless right now that he fought against the pain in his leg, trying to shake it off as he shook his head desperately at this. This maniac could kill any of his friends at any time, and he didn't want to see it, not again. "I -- I'm fine!" He cried out, trying to sound like he wasn't in pain, as he fought back against crying out in pain. "J -- Just let it cool down, please! I can still fight!" But his words seemed futile against the man he saw enter the scene alone, Darren. "P - PLEASE! DON'T TAKE ME AWAY! I HAVE TO STOP THIS!" But even he found his own words sounded false, he closed his eyes tightly as he kept a hold of his leg, not wanting to see any of them get hurt at what was to come next. ~

## Darren wasn't no fool, he knew what to do, he knew bullets were so yesterday, super powers were the way to go from here. Quickly evading the bullets by moving to his right, he felt one pierce past his left cheek as when he stopped himself, he saw a cut had been made. He didn't like that, no one did that to him. "You BRAT!" He shouted, stretching out his right arm at him, as he began to send electromagnetic waves to disrupt anything electrical on him. "How about I kill you by making a phone on you go haywire? Or how about I make that pretty little Ipod of yours make you bleed? Do you have a suit on you, hmm? One of those pathetic little toys that Abaddon's elite soldiers wear to enhance their abilities? You make me laugh! You aren't cool, you aren't hip, you are yesterday's trash! And trust me, you don't want to mess with me, kid! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL SEND YOU BACK TO MOMMY CRYING FOR HER TO GIVE BIRTH TO YOU AGAIN!" ##

~ Thunder struggled to get up, what was Ben thinking, letting Darren handle this?! Darren was a murderer at heart, he had always seen that from his actions and how he always placed himself above everyone else. He had to stop this, even if the man was a dog of Abaddon. Yet people were talking of escaping?! He couldn't run, yet he also couldn't move that much, for he could only get on his good knee for now. "I -- I can still stop him! Just let me cool my leg off, please!" He cried out in desperation, his heart sank with every minute this went on. The cars they had gotten to the mansion with were safely hidden - a few miles away. Even then, Darren's actions might end up destroying them if he got too close. They had finally found a good home, a place to relax after days of on the road, and here this man was, ruining it! On top of that, there was Darren! "JUST LET ME FIX THIS SOMEHOW! PLEASE!!!" ~

"You...you're...The Abaddon Assassin." Vincent spoke laughing in a high pitched voice, pointing to his nano suit and laughing again louder than before gripping his guns tightly "This is a newer model made just for YOU! ah to think I get to fight you... blood will be shed and it will be yours!" Vincent screamed as he readied himself, the wave of energy disrupted some of the suits functions but overall it came out in tact kicking off of the tree shooting five bullets from each of his weapons reloading as he drew himself closer to his enemy. "You get a free pass today Sekruez. Leave only I get to kill you..." Vincent said jumping over the man and into the trees firing 7 more shots at him, attempting to relax and hone in his reflexes in case he would be forced to go toe-to-toe with this one.

Vincent himself had never encountered the Assassin, but only stories about his overly brutal and distrutive nature members of Abaddon feared this man. But the other side of Vincent craved his blood to be spilled, he knew that the Assassin was just another rouge member who needed to be finished off quickly. The calmer side of Vincent also wanted him dead but only because it was his job, he held no attachment and with Sekruez escaping Vincent would fail his first mission in years.The full extent of the Assassins power was unknown to Vincent he had no idea exactly what he could do, but Vincent's nano suit was created to make up of the lack of his natural defenses and nearly all bases were covered. He was killable just well protected, he was hunting his on kind, Vincent needed protection.


"JUST LET ME FIX THIS SOMEHOW! PLEASE!!!" Thunders voice rang out. "No...help...its not coming" Vincent spoke slowly standing on the branch aiming at the Assassin.

Rose got to Thunder. He was holding his leg. Rose could tell that he was in pain. but he said it was fine. She helped him up wrapping his arm around her shoulder. She motioned for Namie to come down. This was their chance. While nut job went off the deep end with his gun they could have a chance a getting away but they needed to move.

"Let's get out of here! I'm sure more will be on there way. They travel like wolves!" She yelled starting to lad thunder deeper into the woods hoping Namie was behind them. She wondered where the other boy had gone. he had ran towards the house. She hoped he would follow as well but they needed to leave now!

Namie eyed the thing curiously. It spoke strangely. Whatever it was, it most certainly didn't look human. "What the hell-" she started, but was cut off by the psycho. "You get a free pass today Sekruez. Leave only I get to kill you..." This was followed by at least two people yelling at her to run. She cast one more look at the strange creature before hopping off the branch and booking it. She scowled when she caught sight of Darren, the Resident Kiss-Ass. 

She was going to follow Rose deeper into the woods, but something stopped her. Then it clicked. Her guns! She'd left them up in her room. Namie could clearly picture the two- holster belt hanging from the doorknob, the handguns nestled within.  Growling, she turned on her heel and booked it to the mansion. She phased right through the front door and took the stairs three at a time. She almost passed her room. Namie reached her arm in, grabbed the belt, and started back. She fastened it as she was sprinting. 

Back outside. She ran past the psycho, looking back with narrowed eyes, but not slowing. She rushed past the scene and deeper into the woods after Rose. 

Alex smiled seeing Namie run passed him and into the house then right back out. "I guess, I got cover fire." he said as he walked up next to Dennis taking off his Abaddon jacket." Well Dennis. I'm Alex and the guy up into the tree. That was my old squad mate Vincent..." he said with a smile. Alex's left arm started to glow as he punched forward sending a spiral of black flames towards Vincent. "Dennis, i'll handle Vincent if you handle the others." He said lowering his arm. "Vincent, I hope that nanosuit is fire proof!" he said as he rubbed his left arm.

~ Thunder tried so hard, but he couldn't now. His head was pounding, his heart beating so fast, but now it seemed he could do nothing but wait. He closed his eyes tightly as he felt them moving away from the scene, his heart just didn't feel right for some reason now. "T-thanks..." He managed to get out, opening his eyes to look around as he wondered how they intended to get out of there. "A-are we going to walk the whole way...?" He asked out of concern this time, seeming to try to get a grip on himself as he thought over what was happening. He resented how they were forced to leave, how Abaddon's agents always got their way. He needed to find a way to stop it, somehow, he knew he could do what was thought to be impossible for years now. Just how he was going to do it was the hard part. ~

## Darren was pissed off now, first some idiot tried shooting at him, and to top it off, another idiot had just joined the scene by getting his name wrong! Moving out of the way of gunfire, he listened as he explained about some idiotic relationship the two use to have, it made him want to stab his eyes out, but it also gained an advantage on his end too. The idiot had just told them they're first names, and since he knew what they both looked like and what they could do, it would be easy to track down they're personal Abaddon records now. "It's Darren, ya deaf fool, and you expect me to leave or something?! Ha, like you have the authority to order ME around!" At this, Ben emerges as he looks around to get a look at Alex and Vincent before returning his gaze to Darren. "We're leaving, now." Ben said simply, as Darren couldn't understand what was going on. "Eh?! You all don't see the brilliance in this situation, do you?!" Ben rose a brow at Darren, as if he needed to ask. "I heard cars approaching this way, somehow they've been able to track the dog here." Darren's brows rose up, but then quickly lowered as he let out a sigh in defeat. "Fine, let's go... Good luck, kiddo! You'll need it!" With that, Darren sprinted off, Ben following close behind as he would keep close to Darren, in case the crazy shooter thought of trying anything. He would quickly learn, if he tried, that it wouldn't be as easy as he thought it would be. ##

### "So it seems we've located them again, commander. Orders to send in the troops?" His right hand man would ask, the commander responding with a release of smoke as his form turned a little wispy again, Commander Chase the Smoker of Abaddon elite force number five tapped some ash down into the ash tray before putting it back in his mouth and talk with it in there. "No, let them go for now. We already have seven cars on the move towards the location, and I have made sure none of the four soldiers in each car have a kill on sight order. If they dare to disobey this, I'll personally have them hanged. Now, let's see how one of our former agents does against his former partner." ###

The Lich subsided into her shadow, his voice coming from the slight darkness her ear cast upon the side of her head. "Oh poor little Namie." He mocked, only loud enough for her to hear. "You're so intent on running aren't you? Why don't you turn back and fight? After all you're the 'street-wise, tough' girl riiight?" Thane's voice dissipated and lowered in tone to Marcel's. "Oh ignore him. Please come with us Namie. It's been so long since there's been a new face to talk to. And we won't hurt you. Believe it or not, your friends can come with you. All you have to do is ask. Of course, they're going to have to... test in first." The Lich's gravely voice rumbled in laughter.

"You... traitor" Vincent said as the spiral of fire slammed against his chest knocking him off the branch he sat upon. Taking in a deep breath as he felt the heat burn his chest, trying to control his breathing looking up to Alex "Vincent, I hope that nanosuit is fire proof!" Alex said as he rubbed his left arm. Grunting as he watched to other two make their escape the Abaddon Assassin followed the other man completely obeying his orders to the word departing by his side. Who where they were the only thoughts that flashed through Vincent's mind, not even the burning pain overrides his curiousness as his mind wondered he regained some reasoning looking back to Alex. Alex was Vincent's second, a brother the only form of true family he had and being forced to fight him didn't mesh well. Vincent will fully in control of his mind as he stood up gripping his guns.

"You are alive because of me, and now you stand in the way of my mission. I thought we were brothers, I gave the order to leave you alive I regret that now..." Vincent spoke calmly but in pain, the nano suit wasn't created to deal with the high flames Alex could produce and the healing mechanics within chest area of the suit were fried. The crazed emotions that Vincent felt washed away and faded away, what the hell was that insane blood lust, it would be impossible for another side effect to develop not another power... its to soon. "Come on than I allowed Sekruez to live... you I'm not to sure about" Vincent yelled as he sprung forward shooting four bullets off diving behind a tree to reload throwing a reflective glass plate on the tree in front of him to give vision.
