Chogokin Horizon

[Lord Dragoon]

Yoshi didn't hear any of it though... Since he was out cold. He's not much for hand-to-hand combat, as one might have guessed by now. So, yeah, might have been a bit soon for him to have wound up in something like that with a trained martial artist.
"Well, that had to have hurt," Gale smirked a little in amusement. "But, it looks like he'll be out of it for a while."
Yoshino, now done getting the data, noticed that Yoshi was out cold. Ooooooh crud. Hopefully someone else in the group knows how to cook. She knew her brother could, since he was the one who did the cooking when there wasn't any towns in sight that they could disguise themselves and go into. And there's no way she's going to do it if no one else knew how to cook and he's still unconscious. Because last time she tried... Let's just say that hair is a lot more flammable then you'd think, and that scrambled eggs don't taste very good burnt to a crisp.

" I need you two to be sneaky." Alexander told them, getting closer and lowering his voice. "Skull Tits. I don't trust her. She is a bandit, after all. Now, of course, I'm not going to show any ill-will or anything...but I'm gonna get her and her brother out of the base for a bit once i can. Once I do, I need you guys to do...something to her mech. So that fi she tries anything, you can use that to stop her." He explained, his voice almost a whisper. "Oh, is that it? Should be easy. Infact...Rance, your programming skills could come in handy." Rivas pointed out, before realizing something. "Through, I figured you would just punch her to make her stop if she tried anything." Rivas pointed out. "Oh. Yeah, I'm gonna do that...but messing with her machine is to show that if you mess wit this Team Horizon, it's gonna come back to bite you!"

"Doesn't look like it." Geno pointed out, landing by his sister. "Grrr. Hurry up! I wanna go back and kick that old hag's ass! And that team of fuckheads!" Mino yelled. "Yeah, and so do i. But as it is, we'll kick our ass kicked. Speaking of, Ryo, Kaori. I know you're helping fix the ship, but we DO need to train as a team.

[Eggs]

"Sneaky? Yeah, I can give it a shot. Just sayin', if we do get caught, expect a few explosions and maybe some saws flying through the air." Rance was joking, of course. While he did prefer the loud, show-offy, and explosive course of action for his plans, he didn't mind channeling his sneaking prowess on occasion. As unbelievable as it might seem, Kaiser would be a quality stealth machine if it was properly outfitted with cloaks, radars, and of course, less noisy weaponry. Perhaps a simple combat knife or a suppressed plasma caster, but its current weapon system of chainsaws and a buzzsaw-launching gun would pretty much instantly ruin any stealth it tried doing. The motorcycle wouldn't help either.

-----

"Right. You guys, take care of this. I'm gonna head out and try to get some training done." Kaori broadcasted the message to the others repairing the ship, and her mecha dropped its tool cache. They didn't just flop onto the deck, of course. They individually activated some sort of advanced antigravity system and flew back to the place she'd got them. Aliums had some pretty sweet stuff, apparently. Once she had returned to a more combat-ready state, her mech slowly walked off the ship and jumped to the ground, landing in the training field.

"Well, that was kind of fun to watch," Gale said. "But now that it's over... It's gotten pretty boring in here." Damnit, is there anything he could do to pass the time? Maybe he could mess around with Sturmritter and see if he finds anything he didn't notice before or something... Or it would probably wind up as nothing more then pounding random buttons in hopes that something interesting happens. Maybe he could mess with the bandits? Naaaaah, Yoshino probably wouldn't appreciate that, and he had a feeling she could probably punch pretty hard if she's annoyed. Alexander is off talking to Rivas and Rance in private, so he can't talk to them. Emily was right next to him, and he might be able to start up a conversation with her. But fuck if he knew a subject she'd be interested in.

[Metal Zeta]

"Awesome! I'll get them out of your hair next time I get a chance!" Alexander said, leaving the room, walking trough the hangar, then hopping right back into Reogane. What was he doing in there? Well who knows.

"WEll...Oh, yeah! I totally forgot!" Rivas said. "Rance! Follow me!"

AND I PRESUMED HE DID

Rivas took Racne to the engine room of the motorcycle ship...which now had an attachment! That being a human sized robot connected to it. "I made this when i was here alone on the ship. Using technology in a way I can't be brothered to explain, he can connected to the cycle and increased it's performance!" He explained. "Of course, this is just how he is now, haven't gotten a chance to work on it any more...yet."

----

"Finally." Mino yelled, crosssing her arms, her robot following. "Where's Ryo? His mech should be fixed by now." Geno asked. He still hadn't been able to get a firm report on what jsut happened to his machine.

[Eggs]

He indeed did follow Rivas, and when he saw the new attachment in the motor room, he took immediate interest in it. "Woah, that's pretty damn awesome. How's he increase the performance?" He decided to check for an answer, and toyed around with a plug-like thing on his forearm. He pulled it out, and it was revealed to be attached to a cord of some kind. It was perhaps total bullshit pulled from nowhere, but it was effective. The plug was attached to the machine in whatever port he could find, most likely the back of the neck, and he began running a scan on it. The circular rings in his irises all lit up, and while it wasn't visible to anyone but him, numbers and lines of code filled his vision. It told him how it functioned, what fuel source it needed, and other such things. Basic stuff that could've been explained by talking, really.

Once the scan was done with, he pulled the plug out and put it back into his arm. "That's pretty impressive! Now all we need to do is teach him to drive, and our base will be completely efficient." It had autopilot, sure, but that only led it to a marked location and avoided obstacles. It couldn't react in a combat situation. Maybe with this robot, though, they could change that.

"It's physically fine, but the software is still kind of messed up. It'll work in a combat situation, but there are occasional glitches. They guys in the tech department are looking over its memory banks. Apparently they found some weird files, but nobody's been able to figure them out yet. For now, it's running on a generic drone's AI. It won't be at its best." Kaori explained it over the intercom. Ryo's mech was still working on repairs on the ship. He didn't trust it to do anything else for now.

[Lord Dragoon]

Gale was still trying to think of a subject to bring up, when Alexander hopped (actually, was it more like leaped? Oh well!) into Reogane. He couldn't tell what he was doing in there, so he got a little curious. But, at the same time, he decided not to pry. Why? The dude is a martial artist who can apparantly jump from the top of one mech to the other, he does not seem like the kind of guy you spy on. Ah damnit, he lost his train of thought. He was trying to think of a possible subject to bring up so that he could get a conversation going to pass the time. Fuck, he has no idea. If he was trying to get a conversation with Rance or Alexander it would probably easy, Rivas might be fairly easy, but Emily, he doesn't even know where to begin. Why is it hard you ask? Because she is from the military, and she seems pretty serious most of the time. So, yeah... He has no fucking clue what she likes or hates or anything. Maybe just some small talk will work. "So, guessing a lot's happened for you guys in the last week or something?" He asked, figuring it would be a good starting point.
--------
"Mind if I join in on the training?" A voice asked. The source was a man with short purple hair, slightly spiky in the back, and purple eyes. If he was human, he'd look like he was in late 20s, average in height and a little on the thin side. He was wearing a pilot suit, which makes sense considering there are mechs on this ship after all.

[Metal Zeta]

Rivas nodded, patting the smaller machine. "It's basic right now, but teaching him to drive and all that stuff? Shouldn't be too hard at all." He explained. He patted the thing on the head, before sighing. "I guess......I better try to get to work on Ragune...." He said, sighing. "I....gah." He shuddered, wrapping his arms around his self. "Like I need more things to to have nightmares about." He muttered, which probably sounded might confusing to Rance!


---

"GO! AHEAD!" Mino yelled at the purple haired one, punching at Gino, who just dodged out of the way, before kicking her in the machine's stomach. "Great, if the team isn't at top efficiently, then our training won;'t be ether." Geno muttered, frowning. He still wanted to know what the hell that...was. IF it really was Titan.....Geno shuddered at the thought...even if there was just one...

"But, if he isn't here...then we need tot rain all the more harder!"

[Eggs]

"Nightmares?" Rance parroted, rather bluntly. Confused he was, but more of it was concern. "If you need someone else to work on him for a bit, I can give it a shot. I'm not quite as great as you are, but I think I could manage." He smiled, as usual, but there was a distinct hint of worry behind it. Coming from Rance of all people, it definitely meant something! "Or, hell, if just talking about it would help, I'm all ears." He tapped the side of his head, and the tech inside his skull increased the volume of the world around him, by his perspective. Just a way to show he was listening.

As a response to Gale's question, Emily nodded. "Yeah. To say the least, we've been through a lot already. And until these guys are done chasing the people we're after, I'm stuck with them." Not to say she didn't enjoy being stuck with them. They were definitely the biggest source of fun she'd ever had on a mission. Even if she didn't quite
like how much they were rubbing off on her. "I have to admit, I'm gonna be a little sad once all this is done. Military regulations and standard-issue suits just aren't as great as the stuff I've seen with them."

[Lord Dragoon]

"Gah, my head hurts," Yoshi groaned, rolling over onto his stomach. He pushed himself off the ground, shaking the cobwebs out of his head. "I feel like I got in a fight with a car and lost." He pushed off his hands and got back to his feet, still a bit dazed. Well, at least he's conscious again.
----------
"Heh, I can imagine. Kicking ass is pretty fun," Gale commented. "So, how exactly did you guys meet?"
----------
The purple-haired guy nodded with a good-natured smile and headed for a machine, before having it dash out of the ship to where Geno and Mino were training. The machine was lightly built machine with sleek limbs with triangle-shaped wristguards and an upside-down angular pyramid shaped chassis with a pair of vents on the sides. On its back was a trio of hand-guns, each different in shape and design. The head itself was a triangle when looked at from above it, yet somewhat curved looking from the front, with a chasm with a single eye that slides around in its slot for vision. The eye split into two, as the top part came down to give the head a more humanoid appearance as the bottom half seperated into revealing a simple mouthplate. The overall coloration was simple. Purple, with violet streaks and dark indigo highlights. The eyes however were pale green. It reached back for a gun with its fairly average-looking hand, grabbing a rectangular gun and bringing it out. The front part of the gun split slightly, electricity crackling between the halves, as the handle seperated from the main body and a circular guard came with it. It aimed the gun, as the head changed back to its original cyclops-like state. It pulled the trigger, and a beam blasted out of it, nearly grazing Mino's mech. The halves of the barrel came back together, likely to recharge.
