[IC] Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

[NacNak]

Amber grew more agitated as she grit her teeth as she listened to Archer, her glare growing more intimidating
"... I'm going to kill him..." she stated as she tried to hold herself back, heat could be seem coming off her now glowing skin, her hair still blazing
.
Spartan walked over to Magnus and looked up to him
"nice shot" he said with a week smile as he looked to Eve
"is that everything?" he asked as he looked to the equipment tied down to Magnus
.
"that's everything we can carry, everything important" Eve said with a smile as she looked to Buster before looking to Spartan
.
"good, now we just have to wait for the others" Spartan said as he stood next to Eve and looked back to the hovercraft

[Scarifar]

"Uhhh... oops," Daniel said, not looking at Amber in the eyes. "IthinkI'lltakemyleavebye," he quickly said, then immediately ran off in the direction he came from, breaking the sound barrier after a mile.

[NacNak]

Amber's eye's narrowed as Daniel made a break for it
"your not getting away that easy..." she muttered as she became surrounded by flames, she then blasted out of the hole in the ceiling and fly high into the sky, she used her ability to sense heat and glared in the direction she sensed Daniel, she then blasted off in his direction and burned through the sound barrier just seconds after she sped toward after him
.
Spartan watched as something ran out of the hovercraft, when it got out of sight, in his hud he rewound the image and froze it to see a boy, Spartan looked in the direction he ran, right into the forest they had to go through, he then noticed Amber blasting into the sky then give chase to whoever it was
"well, looks like Amber has something to keep her occupied, hopefully she rejoin us soon..." Spartan said as he leaned against Magnus who was still staring into the forest

[Scarifar]

Daniel skidded a few meters, coming to a halt after several miles of running. He breathed a sigh of relief as he turned around, then his face wore an expression of shock as he saw a streak of flame in the sky heading toward him. He immediately continued running, then just as immediately remembered a tactic he once used before when pursued. He stopped, then summoned an inferno around him and condensed some more fire. When he was done, he launched three condensed orbs of fire in different directions, each large enough to contain a person his size. He gave them a few seconds to land, then ran off back toward the hovercraft. Normal people would probably be stopped by the inferno, unable to travel into it, and distracted by the three launched orbs and assume that he'd be in one of the orbs. At least, that's how he thought about it in his mind.

[NacNak]

Amber stopped in the air as she seen the light of flames shoot off in three different directions, she raised a brow, she raised both her hands as the flames came to a stop, then almost as soon as they landed they were sucked towards Amber, putting out the fires as the flew up to her, she absorbed the flames then looked in the direction she sensed Daniel
"you take me for a fool..." she said as she quickly gave chase

(Activate Epic chase/fight theme: Back To Mad)

Daniel had a head start before, he didn't this time, in a matter of minutes she was tailing him, a streak of flames behind her as her burning glare locked onto Daniel, she was now near the ground, he was in a direct line of sight, as she sped over the ground any plant life beneath her caught on fire as she passed by
"Take This!" she exclaimed as she lunged her right arm forward, then she fired multiple fire missiles that quickly closed on Daniel, they locked onto his heat signature as he ran

[Scarifar]

Daniel ran for his life, hoping that his dupe worked. He was then aware of a tingling sensation behind him, which probably wasn't a good sign. He risked taking a glance behind him and saw Amber having caught up to him and was now launching fireballs at him. He constructed a giant pane of solid fire behind him and left it in one spot, having the fireballs crash and get absorbed into it. Hopefully it would also stop Amber, at least for a second. After all, it was solid, and at their velocity, it would definitely leave a mark should she crash into it. However, he wasn't taking chances and muttered, "Mach 3 time," and started running at his top speed, once again breaking the sound barrier, this time running much faster than he did before.

[NacNak]

Amber let out a low growl as she seen Daniel stop her attack, her fire missiles collided with the solid flame wall, somehow stopping them from exploding, as she closed on the wall she could sense Daniel speed away, she grit her teeth as her eye's glowed bright red, a bright flash of red followed by immense heat filled the forest as Amber transformed into her Phoenix Form just before she hit the wall, when she did it shattered and dispersed into flames as she blazed through the sound barrier, a high pitched sound, almost similar to the flames exiting a jet could be heard closing behind Daniel fast, a long tail of white hot flames trailed behind Amber as she sped up to him, within seconds she was flying next to him to his left, her glare still locked onto him
"you not getting away from me!" she exclaimed as she aimed her right arm at Daniel, then multiple white hot fire missiles shot out of her hand, they hovered in the air for a less then a second before the shot after Daniel, quickly closing in on him, Amber made sure to stay behind him so that if her attack failed she'd be able to attack him again, she wasn't about to let the person responsible for her race's extinction get away without paying for it

[Scarifar]

At the speed he was traveling at, the location he originally crashed in appeared very quickly. He stopped into the group outside (Spartan, Magnus, etc) and formed the hardest fire sphere he could create, the fireballs crashing into the sphere and making multiple cracks that spread on the point of impact. He now knew there was no point running away, even at Mach 3 speed, and decided to take the offensive. He let the shield dissipate and formed full fire armor, along with a fire kiteshield and fire broadsword. He was beginning to tire, as running at Mach 3 took a lot out of him. Still, he had to survive somehow.

[NacNak]

Magnus looked towards a different direction of the forest, his sensors were picking up large heat signatures closing in on them, he let out a soft growl as he shuffled uneasily, Eve let out another yelp as Daniel ran out of the forest and stopped near them, she stood near Magnus as she kept her eye's on him, Buster let out a surprised bleep as he reversed about three feet and kept his lens trained on the newcomer
.
Amber came walking out of the forest in her Phoenix Form, her sight locked on Daniel as she casually walked towards him, she didn't flinch as he donned his armor and weapons, she made a bee line for him ignoring everyone else, but was stopped when Spartan walked in between her and her target
"move..." she demanded him, not taking her eye's off Daniel, Spartan stood his ground, looking into Amber's eye's
.
"what are you doing?..." he asked in a controlled tone, he glowing blue eye's scanning her
.
"I'm avenging my race, and your standing in the way..." she said as the heat coming off her increased, but Spartan didn't move
.
"really, because that's not what I see, I see an angry girl having a temper tantrum because someone made a mistake" Spartan said in a stern voice, no fear in him at all, that's when Amber broke her sight with Daniel to glare at Spartan
.
"That mistake doomed my race!" she exclaimed in anger
.
"NO, It Did Not!" Spartan shot back in a loud, commanding tone that caused Amber to flinch slightly and take a step back
"it only made your races recovery longer" he said with a lower tone
.
"b-but-" Amber went to object but was cut short
.
"Archer isn't the only one able to clone an entire race back to existence" Spartan said with confidence
"Archer might have been able to do it faster, but I'm able to do so as well, during my time away from the group I lived a mostly normal life with Eve, during my free time I made a lab, within it are the means to bring back your race, so calm yourself Amber, save your anger for the real enemy" Spartan said in a calm tone, Amber stared at Spartan for a few moments before looking to Daniel, she then looked down as she reverted back to her normal form as she made her way to Magnus to lean against him, Spartan then looked to Daniel
"so, I would assume your the one who crashed into the hovercraft?" he questioned with a slight smile as walked over to Daniel, stopped a few meters away

[Scarifar]

Daniel sighed, his fire constructs fading away, and he collapsed onto his back, his legs finally giving out. "Oh... thank god," Daniel said between breaths. "Someone... that isn't... threatening... me." He reached into a pocket and pulled out an energy bar, tearing the wrapper apart and taking a huge bite out of it, barely chewing it up before swallowing. "Yup... that's me... name's Daniel... You?" he responded to Spartan.

[NacNak]

Spartan reached out and helped Daniel to his feet, then took a step back
"I'm Spartan, the leader of this group" he said with a slight smile as he gestured towards the others
"we're on an important mission, the fate of Earth, and the very universe are at stake" he explained as he walked towards the others
"as of a recent attack, our transport has been damaged beyond repair, so we have to walk the rest of the way" he said as he turned to look back at Daniel
.
Magnus never let his sight leave the forest, something just didn't feel right, it agitated him slightly as he slightly narrowed his eye's

[Scarifar]

Daniel took another bite out of his energy bar and swallowed, suppressing a burp. "So where exactly are you headed?" he asked. "Cause whatever you're doing, it sounds pretty interesting."

[NacNak]

Spartan supressed a light grin, trying to stay serous
"it's more dangerous then interesting" he warned him as he waited for Archer and Rachel to join them outside
"we're heading to a recently abandoned village that's become overrun by other worldly beings via dimensional rift, the first rift, our mission is to find that dimensional rift and send specially made bomb into it that'll hopefully shut the rift, the closing of it should hypothetically cause a domino effect and close the other rifts that are appearing and save our world, we've still got a long way to go, longer now that the hovercraft is scrap" he said looked back to the hovercraft

[Scarifar]

"Hmm... give me a moment to see what I can do," Daniel said, raising 1 finger. He constructed a rectangular prism of solid fire, then molded it so it had the basic resemblance of a sports car, then decided it was too small and changed it into a small bus. "Let's see," Daniel said as he stepped into it, then constructed seats and a steering wheel, which was just a cosmetic and didn't do anything. Then he made holes where windows should go. Satisfied, he tried to lift it up and it responded to his command easily. "Perfect!" he cheered as he kicked a door open and jumped out. "I reckon this thing can hold everyone. Don't worry about heat and stuff, I can suppress that well enough."

[NacNak]

Eve walked over to the bus made of solid flames and tilted her head slightly
"uh... but... what about Magnus?...." she asked as she looked over to the 15ft tall robotic Dragon, who looked in her direction when she called his name
.
Spartan looked to Eve with a smile, holding back a laugh
"Eve, Magnus can fly, I can fly, you can fly, Amber and Rachel can fly, the only ones who can fly are Jun, Archer and Buster" Spartan said as he looked over to the droid as it drove up next to Eve and made a few bloops that admitted his inability to fly, Eve felt silly for forgetting that most of the team had a way to fly
.
"oh.... right" she giggled quietly
"it just that we spent so much time on some kind of transportation that I forget we have another way to travel" she said as she looked back to the bus
.
"the only reason we used them is because it was safer to travel in, when we're not we're completely open for something to attack" Spartan stated as he walked around the bus, it was a nice crimson red, his scanners were picking up the heat readings coming from it

[Scarifar]

"I will take that as a yes," Daniel said as he jumped back into his bus and right onto the driver seat. He turned it around and opened a set of double doors. "If you guys wanna gather everyone here then come on."

[Spriggs27]

" Yeah I always wanted to get on a bus that was made completely out of fire, so I can go back to hell and be around that stuff again, it's not like the body I'm in won't be charred when I sit on the seats or touch one of the windows or shit," Jun said in a sarcastic tone.

[Scarifar]

"Oh relaaaax," Daniel reassured Jun. "It's perfectly safe. Just don't let your hair touch it. Nah I'm kidding, even your hair can touch it without burning." He gave a wide grin and said, "So come on into the fun house!" creating the words "fun house" above the bus, changing the colors of the flames every second. "Er, fun bus!" Daniel amended, changing "house" into "bus".

[Spriggs27]

" No thanks I'll ride the dragon, it looks way more fun and safer." Jun quipped. She got onto Magnus looked at the bus of fire with a " who would ride that " look, then she turned her gaze over to Amber who would be the only one.

[NacNak]

Amber looked to Magnus then to the bus, she shrugged then walked up to the bus, not looking to Daniel as she got on and made her way to the back, she sat in the seat near the right window and looked out it to the others
"the hell you guy's waiting for?, come on, lets get out of here already" she said in a bored tone as she rested against the seat
.
Eve thought that adding more weight on Magnus would make it harder for him to fly with all the supplies tied onto him, so she slowly walked over to the bus ad got on, sitting near the middle on the left making the bus slightly tilt to the left, Spartan looked to Jun with a slight grin then made his way onto the bus, the second he stepped on it the bus tilted to the right from his weight, it righted itself when he got in, he sat to the right of the front near the bus drivers seat, Buster drove up to the door and looked at the steps, he tried to drive up then but his tracks couldn't reach, he then looked to Daniel and let out a bleep asking for help
.
Magnus watched as people got onto the bus, he then looked to Jun as she got on him and let out a quiet growl as he looked back to the forest they needed to go through
