"Ed, don't go all action hero movie on me." Olive pleaded. "There is something we over looked with Sven, he seems to have some sort of reccesive personality and not in a good way."

Ed stopped and turned back the way Sven had gone. "Are you going to use this as a Guilt trip later?"

"If we don't help, then yes"

Letting out an exasperated sigh he gave Olive the go ahead. "Go after him, restrain and detain him. I'll duck into the tree line and follow. If he struggles then just knock him out with a taser. Don't risk damaging the iRiS over his well being" Whith the pain from his ankle lessening he began to jog back North again.

Predicting Ed's response Olive had already moved the iRiS into position above the now manic Sven. Seeing the white haired boy trying to attack him from underfoot she decided that now was the time to act. Launching the mech from the tree branch with enough force to turn it into matchsticks the mass of metal slammed into Svens side, as contact was made a low voltage discharge into his body. Low but enough to send a fully a fully grown man into spasms for a considerable length of time.

(Try to make this or the next the last round)

You have got to be kidding me...fine, he wants to attack my team-mates, then I blow his head off. They may be Beacon, but, well. You don't leave someone you just fought with to die.

In one smooth, fast movement, Nox unholstered his pistol, aimed and fired. The round blew through the kid's shoulder, which the merc followed through with a thundering kick to the head. It sent Sven into another tree, and Nox into the air. And the scarred teen landed in a crouch right in front of Sven's previous target.

Nox quickly dropped his pistol in front of his teammate, and pulled out his assault rifle. In a second, it was unshifted, sighted, and his finger was gently caressing the trigger. One move, and he'd shoot the beserk kid right in the chest.

He wouldn't miss, not at this distance. The round was too powerful. And he didn't care if the other student was a teen.

"One motion, and I splatter your heart all over this forest. Choose wisely." His voice was a snarl, almost spitting the words at the immobile teen.

All Jacen could really do was watch as he saw the series of events play out before him like the scene of a movie, the event moving to fast for him to really act. It made him vaguely feel like a voyeur. And that gunman is one of my teammates...lovely. I've just collected a whole set of problems. 

And the fact that I'm spending four years with these guys...unsettles me just a bit. Jacen kept his displeasure well hidden as he looked on, wondering who landed the psycho on the ground as a teammate, pitying the poor bastard. 

(Next Round of posts will be the last) 

Sven's Body: Now

The separate assaults, and already somewhat physically weakened, Nightshroud landed on the ground in a heap. Swearing like a pirate.

"You assfucking goddamn motherfuckers! I'll make you regret this! You! Asshole! You want to splatter my heart all over this forest? Well go ahead! I'm taking you with me!" 

Nightshroud couldn't lift his right shoulder, the bullet had torn through the bone and destroyed many nerves, and his legs were still slightly paralyzed from the electric shock Olive gave him, however, his left arm had miraculously survived being hit and he lifted that arm with his tonfa and sent a weight at Nox, chains trailing behind.

Gotta hit the neck, the neck, and break it, or at the ver least wind him so he can't fire. The neck...

Sven's Mind: Now

Sven dashed up the stairs, almost at the top, and he saw his body being assaulted from the many angles.

Great, I wont be able to use that arm for a month.

Sven groaned as he saw these sequences of events, but strangely, this world that he was in, didn't let him feel the pain that his physical body was feeling, nor was it hindering him in anyway. 

Sven looked up to see the screen directly above him and figured if he could break through it, he would be in the material world. He got to the highest point possible on the stone structure he was on and the voice boomed again.

"You cannot make it out of here. There's no way in, and no way out." 

Excellent, a drama queen.... Sven thought sarcastically.

Sven jumped onto the screen and saw that it accepted his body, and was letting him into it, also taht it was kinda jellowy consistencied, letting him enter easily.

"You can't escape..." 

Watch me. Sven thought and lashed out as hard as he could at the screen, and into the material world.

Sven's Body: Now

Die asshole! Hahaha! Eh...?

Nightshroud was sent back into Sven's mind as the actual personality broke into the material world. Sven immidiately noticed the pain in his shoulder, as well as his entire body in fact, and noticed that he was in the middle of attacking the person who could potentially kill him.

That voice... Nox... Heh, his reputation precedes him, wasn't it Winter's Night? I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Using the rest of his strength, Sven halted the weighted end retracted it into his tonfa. His eyes now back to their normal blue.

Using all of his strength, Sven got up from his seated position into a somewhat standing form, although leaning on the tree that was behind him and glanced around.

Without saying a word, he started limping slowly towards the clearing and when he made it to the edge of the trees, he looked back and fingered the crew there.

I'll get them someday for this... somehow.... I don't know when, but it'll happen... 

And Sven disappeared into the trees.

"Well now that that's over...can we get goin' to the cliffs?" Jay took his hand away from Shadow Stinger and walked back to Jacen. "You guys comin' too or what." Jay started walking without everyone else and made it to the edge of the forest where he last saw the crazy guy. He waved everyone over signaling that it was okay to proceed.

Cri rose to his knee unsteadily, wincing. Damn... that'll be a bruise. He'd have to wait for his Aura to replenish before he could really heal that.

Standing up, he turned back to look at Beacon, then turned to his partner.  Looks like I'll be with this guy and another pair... choices, choices.

"Well", he said, "We'd better get going back."

Turning once again towards Beacon, he began the treck back to the academy as the sun began to dip below the horizon.

He had only traveled 100 meters before he got a short call in from Olive. "Sven is back to normal, we can head back now."

Halting his acking legs and coming to a stop he tilted his head to the side. "You were already there weren't you?"

"I predicted your answer and acted accordingly. Saved time, got the job done."

Letting out an exasperated sigh he looked south. "Time to return to beacon then, I think some hot food is in order."

As the iRiS mech came speeding out of the woodline and coming up next to Ed the two of them began to make their way back to the cliffs joining up with Sven along the way.

Nox reached down, and picked his sidearm off the ground. Holstering it, he sighed. That kid...was consumed by something. And, well, Nox really wanted to kill it. Something in him screamed 'Danger to the pack', and he had acted accordingly. The thing is, he didn't know what the compulsion was.

He walked behind the others, Nightfall still clasped in his hands. He hit a button, and the blood all cycled out with water. He pulled off his helmet, and clipped it to his belt.

Looking at the group of teens ahead, he took a breath. The forest air was cool, refreshing after the stuffyness of the headpiece. 

"Well, Beacon. Things just got a bit more interesting."

Jacen looked to Jay, stretching out his arms for a few seconds. Well...these people are your partners for the foreseeable future, Jacen. Deal with whatever may come next. "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming Jay." He sighed, "Let's just get out of this damn forest."

And get on with seeing if I can work with these guys...

(And so everyone returned to the cliffs and became teams, This ends the RP that almost died. Have fun with your teams and in the absence of Tie and Garrison Ed and Sven are on the look out for 1 more member, Preferably an N...)
