[IC] Parallel Voyagers

[nerminator]

juton noticed something at the corner of his eye,juton looked out a window and noticed a assault truck was driving near them it was filled with chinese soldiers and then all of a suddenly it rams into the hovercar! the shock sends juton falling to the ground 'someones ramming us!' juton yelled out to tell everyone

[phantori]

"No dur!" I swerved to the side in an attempt to avoid their ramming, but they only followed after the hovercar. I glanced at the truck out of the corner of my eye, assessing it, and made a split second decision. I slammed on the brake.

The car came to a sudden and violent halt, the assault truck flew past. After a moment it began slowing down to pull a u-turn, but was too heavy to do it quickly, so while they were trying to find us again I moved the car as fast as I could back over to the cliff, where I edged it off and lowered the hover capability for a moment. Soon, we were floating just below the precipice, out of sight of the road.

Keeping an eye on the various gauges, I leaned back in the driver's seat. "You're welcome."

[a00000000000]

Axeka nodded and got up, going up to where the door to the bathroom was, and paying a button next to it, which dropped a ladder from the roof infront of her. "Drive up to the Chinese truck that drove off.." She ordered, and began climbing up the ladder.

[nerminator]

'i'll shoot anyone if they try to kill you axeka' juton says as he takes a rifle that was lying on the ground and smashes another window and aims out it searching for targets

[phantori]

"Yes ma'am." I twisted my neck around to look at the hovercar's third occupant. "Well, someone's Captain Obvious's habitually destructive sidekick. Any other characteristics we should know about?" This Gwarguy was starting to bug me, and I didn't even know his name yet. I edged the hovercar back over the cliff and to the road, thankful for the awesome hover feature that all but silenced the engine; I never really understood how you could say "all but" and mean the exact opposite, but whatever, that was how it worked, 'cause, you know, GRAMMAR.

Anyway, the truck was stopped, but there was no one around it. I slowly floated over to it, keeping an eye on the back doors.

[a00000000000]

Axeka was on the roof now. As the Hovercar inched near it, she climbed down a latter on the side and was on the road now. She took out her pistol and held it at ready, then peered into the windows of the armored Chinese solider's truck. Suprisingly, there was nobody in there, but it was locked. Using the butt of her gun, she broke open the window and unlocked the driver's seat. She unlocked all the doors and took a look around the truck, nobody. Weird. She got out of it and walked back over to the Hovercar, climbing back in. "Abandoned, we should continue our journey or find out where they went." she stated, and resumed eating her apple.

[nerminator]

juton put away the rifle and said 'i think we should keep heading to toronto but we should drive the assault truck instead of this' then juton stared at that robot person who keeps calling him gwar guy then said 'my names not gwar-guy you idiot'

[phantori]

"You do realize I haven't even called you that recently, right? Neither of us can read minds, so if you don't want me to call you Gwarguy, then give me something else to call you by. And I'm not the one who breaks random stuff instead of trying to use it, idiot." I didn't want to travel with someone I didn't get along with so I'd have try try to solve this somehow, but right then I was too ticked off at his antics to care about being best buddies for life.

"This car's more maneuverable. It's not like they told their buddies what the car looks like. Besides, if their friends check up on it, we're in trouble." I looked over at Axeka. "We should probably find out where they went, just to make sure they're not coming back."

[a00000000000]

Across right for a moment, and then left vehicle again. She took her storage cube and it absorbed the assault truck and went back into the hovercar . She went to the front where there was a slot that would fit for the cube.she out it in and a screen pulled up, she scrolled through it to where the armored assault truck. She pushed a button and the hovercar instantly camouflaged to look like the Chinese assault vehicle. She began typing on a keyboard on the screen and it pulled up an identification for the truck. The identification description read, 'Astung 117 - identification 203 - ownership Shell Carundy/Pono Sefias/Aldurat Gharia'. "It belonged to three Chinese soldiers that were planned for execution at sunset today for traitorism. They must've taken the truck and used it to escape." She says. "If we can find them, they might be useful allies."

[nerminator]

juton sighed at that robopersons [ken] sentance and ignored him,he was half right anyways well actually completely right,'well i guess we better find them i guess' juton said as he opened the door to the assaulthingy and sat in the backseat and then turned to the group and said 'my names juton by the way'

[phantori]

"Good to know." ...Gwarguy. "So we get more people with guns on our side? Sounds great. Do you think they have their radios on them? Maybe we can contact them that way." I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the car's new look, raising my eyebrows. Sweet.

[a00000000000]

Axeka pulled up the menu again, and went into a section titled 'radiowaves', meant for if Axeka needed to contact for backup, medical assistance, etc. There were no radios in the assault behicle, so she had to assume that they took it with them. The radiowaves menu popped up another screen with the local waves of radio energy, and it pulled up multiple, but one labeled 'Astung 117 - 203 RADIO/DISPATCH'. She hacked into it, and immediately there were sounds coming from the menu of three different men talking in Chinese. They quickly realized they were being listened through due to a light on the Radio, and shut up. She clicked a button that gave them the locationof the Chinese soldiers. Axeka set the car to autopilot to where they were, and the car swevered to the side of the road where there was desert and then over to a mountain, a small cave being located in it. Inside were three soldiers staring at a radio while around a campfire. They realized the hovercar was there and began shouting in Chinese, translating into English: "Chinese, defend!" they shouted as they ducked for cover and held guns aiming at the hovercar. Axeka, pistol at her side, got out of the hovercar. She approached the cave, the Chinese shouting: "Not one step!" Axeka motioned for the others to come.

[nerminator]

juton opened the assault trucks door and stepped out unarmed holding his hands up and said 'we come in peace'

[phantori]

There was no way I was getting out of the car with three guys pointing guns at me. Just no. If a guy with gray skin didn't freak them out, a cyborg would. So instead I browsed through the menu thing Axeka had been using earlier until I found a picture of the regular hovercar, tapping on it. Maybe they'd be a little more willing to communicate if they knew that we weren't another Chinese assault truck. In any case, were the others really expecting them to be able to understand English? I was sure it would just scare them more. I tried to recall if I'd been programmed with a language program, but didn't remember anyone mentioning one. God, of all the advanced things they gave me, why not let me talk to foreign terrorists? That would definitely be more useful than a can opener.

I'm sorry, was I saying something? Let's move on.

[a00000000000]

Axeka stood, waiting to see if the Chinese would attack, when the the Hovercar shifted back to looking like the Hovercar. She slightly frowned, but then regained her neutral look. Axeka took out her storage cube and took out three earphones. She put one in her ears and scrolled through the menu on it, pressing a button and putting the end in her pocket. She gave one each to them. "Scroll through the menu on that until you find 'Chinese', click the red button once you select it." she explained. Everything she was saying was translated to Chinese for the soldiers, but the others would hear it as English. The Chinese soldiers also now sounded like they were speaking English.

Axeka set down her pistol, and the soldiers slightly lowered their weapons after she put down hers and the Hovercar was not an assault vehicle anymore. "What business do you have with us?" the biggest of the three soldiers, who was probably a leader of sorts. "We've heard you're the Traitor Chinese soldiers, is that accurate?" the Chinese tightened their grip on the weapons a little bit and raised them. They were worried. "Yes." the man said. "I'll repeat the question once more, what business do you have here with us?" he said, more frustratedly and worriedly. "We wish to be allies." Axeka answered, and the soldiers lowered their guard and grip on their guns. They got up a bit from behind their cover and approached Juton and Axeka. "Alright." said the leader of the soldiers. "Where ya headed?" the Chinese soldier asked as they walked towards the Hovercar. They marveled at it for a moment, and stepped in through the door. Axeka followed behind and went back into the Hovercar, the soldiers carrying their equipment in the bags they had over their soldiers.

Appearances of the Soldiers

1 (smallest/smartest)

2 (tallest/bravest)

3 (fastest/leader)

[nerminator]

'alright well we are heading to toronto to meet up with a friend' juton said to the soldiers,then a bullet hit juton in the knee 'snipers!' juton yelled out as he fell to the ground clutching his leg

[Kafka Komedy]

Matt Angello was sitting alone in purgatory, bored out of his mind. He drew the lightning symbol on his hand and fired blindly. After a few moments a portal appeared in front of him. He hated the purgatory, to him he had rather been sent directly to Lucifer himself. It didn't matter what was on the other side of that portal, Matt leaped inside. He was flying, had he sprouted wings? No, he could not move at all, he was hovering in and endless space. Finally he found himself infront of a policewoman, a cyborg, and an old Britain alien shot in the leg. "Whoa, earth sure has changed in a... how long have I been out?" He looked to the left and saw someone with a sniper rifle in the distance. Naturally, he did the most logical thing, and fired some lightning at him.

[phantori]

"Yeah, a 'friend'. Mhm." Suddenly Gwa...Juton let out a shout and fell down, bleeding from his leg. I stuck my head out the window and pointed my palm at the sky, looking for whoever had fired the bullet. Suddenly a guy with curly hair and specs a little like mine appeared out of nowhere and shot lightning. I gaped at him for a minute, my arm still raised.

"...what the hell?"

I glanced over at Axeka. "I thought it was just us! How many more weirdos are gonna show up on the way to Toronto?!"

[a00000000000]

Axeka got into the car and continued to eat her apple, when some snipers shot Juton in the leg. She was shocked for a moment, but then she grabbed her sniper rifle she kept in her guns closet and opened the latch to the top of the roof. She aimed over to where the snipers was, when suddenly he was zapped by lightning. The sniper fell and there were no more in the area. "We need to go, now." she went back in the car. She pushed a button at the front and the window in the back lowered down, and a bit of a chair was pushed there. "Ken, drive! Juton, take this rifle and aim out the back of the window incase anybody comes. New guy and the three soldiers, come sit down at this table." she said as she walked back over to her table and sat down in it, eating. "Introduce yourself, all of you." the three soldiers each went and got a slice of melon from the fridge, and sat at the table. Soldier 1 said, "My name is Zhi-Xun Hingai." Soldier 2 said, "I'm Fen Guo." Soldier 3 said, "My name is Chao-Chang Finghua." They ate their melon slices after introducing themselves.

[Kafka Komedy]

Matt picked himself up, and jogged to the car-Rv type thing, and opened the door. He hated taking orders from people, especially from the police, but she was right, they needed to leave and if they were a buncha freaks like him, he was gonna need their help to get back to purgatory, or at least to safety. He had heard something about Toronto, maybe that was a safe haven? Whatever. He sat at the table, and three Chinese soldiers sat down, and introduced themselves, Zhi-Xun, Fen, and Chao-Chang. The police officer looked at him. "Matt, Matt Angello, Nephilim dude whose better than you." Matt said with a smirk. He then asked her "So what's your name, Copper?"
