[b]Zenon and Dr. Qualia Queen ~ Scientist Problems ~ Location: Spy Hole located near the Korpus Forest of Church[/b] The scientist, Dr. Qualia, one of the 12 Minds of Renaissance, ran for dear life. She was hungry and desperate for food, and being unable to barter anything in Church, she decided to go outside and find something worthy of trading. However, she made the wrong gamble, and the Guardians detected her. She thought she was done for, until she heard a somewhat audible whistle that was coming from a discrete area... Qualia made a bet and ran towards the source of the sound, darting between trees in order to avoid the sight of the Guardians. The young scientist tumbled for her life as she finally reached the source of the sound: a young man... Qualia's eyes began to water in fear as she looked at the incoming Guardians from afar... "Please... please... please tell me that you have a plan!" the scientist began to plead; the look of guilt on her eyes were so apparent for some reason. [b]Dr. Charles Richardson ~ Fleeing the Choir ~ Location: Junalok Forest; land bridge connecting to the Korpus Forest[/b] "First Rule Disabled. Initiating Protocol: Exterminate Humans." a vibrant chanting could be heard from the pursuing Fallen Ones. The Fallen robots were jumping from one tree to another, similar to how primates move in the jungle. Closely following the Fallens were the Adjudicators, and Guardians who were moving at a medium pace... What was more terrifying was the fact that the Throne that was in the choir had suddenly vanished... This was not a good sign. The Guardians were firing the red bolts of death, searing trees and shrubbery that protected the doctor. Furthermore, it seems that the Hosts had already set their sights on Charles, evidenced by the fast and deadly purple bolts that flew past the escaping scientist. It seems like the whole choir was targeting Charles... It's like a code had been switched inside their systems, forcing them to prioritize this single target... The Empyrean had plans. Suddenly, short bursts of electric lasers flew past Charles, hitting some of the Fallen Ones that was chasing him. From the shadows of the Junalok burst forth armored humans who were equipped with AG-32F Electric Plasma Rifles. The humans, perhaps a dozen of them, were firing at the robots who were in pursuit. However, the purple bolts brought down one of the humans instantly. Projectiles coming from each side were soaring through the air as Electric Lasers collided with Red Bolts, creating miniature explosions. The humans had now taken cover behind some large trees, returning each fire with more and more hate at the Choir that had caused them much suffering. [b]Dmitri Holmes and Sgt. Flintlock Gregis ~ Forgive Me Father ~ Location: Church, Entrance[/b] It was one those less stressful days in Church... People trading crops for guns, and equipment for electronic pieces. Truly, Church is the shining example of Capitalism even in dangerous times. The entrance of Church is heavily guarded... There are two S22-D3 Machine Gun Fortifications atop of a tower, and more than a dozen guards guarding the gate. It's such a shame that such a force was only used to guard, not to attack. Dmitri, a talented inventor, was among those in Church... It was quite a busy day, the sulfur coated sky bearing down on the busy remnants of humanity's past. Suddenly, a hand tapped Dmitri... It was Sgt. Flintlock, one of the soldiers assigned to defend Church. "Quite a rare sight to see you here, Dmitri! You can put your guns away, ya know? As long as I'm guarding this city, NOT a single robot will touch her." Flintlock laughed as he walked steadily to the entrance, meeting Pvt. Shedder, a newly recruited, 16 year old boy. Flintlock jeered at the recruit as he motioned for Dmitri to come to the gates... Suddenly, a splash of blood filled Flintlock's armor... Shedder's head toppled down his shoulders as the soldier fell to the ground; dead before even touching the soil. A robot began to come into view... A familiar figure; one that many humans fear: A Throne. The Throne uttered: "Inventor Detected and Recognized, Initiating Protocol: Eliminate Empyrean Threat." The robot began to vanish into thin air as panic ensued. [b]Jack and Ryan ~ Chaos Chorus ~ Location: Bunker overlooking the Venel Dregs [/b] The Fallen robots began to set foot on the Venel Dregs, their soulless eyes fixed on a certain human girl who was quite stricken with fear. "Human Scum Detected. Lethal Force, Authorized." The Adjudicators fixed their scanners on the girl as the Fallen Ones charged at their lone prey... The Guardian, on the other hand, was quite passive... As if it was waiting for something else to happen. The Fallen began to pull out their serrated blades, and now surrounded the girl who had nowhere to run.
