*Follows in the back of the group once everyone else is through*

@Revolutionary

*once we walk through, the heat begins to fully take effect*

Thank you all for taking this journey with me. Our contact should be here shortly. They will teach us how to traverse the sands to avoid any unecessary contact with the planet's wildlife and other potential threats.

@Extra@Artifact@Revolutionary

Alright... Let's head out.

*opens a portal, as heat and sand rush through, showing the inside of a cave*

*walks through*

Are we not just some outworlders anyway?

@Revolutionary

Its... well, you'll see.

*Disappears and reappears in a flash, wearing the suit*
Hopefully the full training won't be done in this thing.

@Revolutionary

Unfortunately, I don't have any further details on the training. Its likely we'll need this for most of our time. Also, for reference, we are ot keep from blowing our cover. If they find out we're more than just some outworlders like they're used to, then this could be a problem. We'll be briefed on their customs upon our arrival.

It definitely seemed like we should be using our time wisely.

@Revolutionary

I agree. Lets get this show on the road.

*walks to a backroom, and a few minutes later, comes back with my stillsuit on, waiting on the others*

Alright, I won’t argue.

@Revolutionary

Thank you. Also, sorry for.. whatever just happened. I wasn't expecting a phonecall quite like that.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Admittedly, I'm making sacrifices. But it's necessary, given the turnout of volunteers up through now.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Turns it over, looking at it*
Sounds like we oughta use this time wisely. I don't need this, for obvious reasons, unless you need me to match uniforms with the team.

@Revolutionary

It would help. You look very human.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

You betcha.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Hope you rested up nicely.

@Revolutionary

Good.

*tosses you a still suit, explainign what its for*

Put that on and we'll head out.

*a call rings out from my phone, and I check it*

...

*picks it up, putting it on speaker*

...Father what's going on? I can barely hear you-

Alucard: I'm buying you some time. Aeron was on his way to the main headquarters to the EDB. I'm keeping him busy for a moment. You need to act fast. Finish that training. I can handle this until then.

Shinji: dad, you need to get out of there, he'll kill you!

Alucard: I know that is a possibility, but since when has death stopped me before? Ill find a way back to you. I promise. I love you, son.

Shinji: ... I love you too.

Alucard: the sun is always brightest after the rain. Keep pressing on, my child. I'm proud of you.

*the call clicks, alucard having hung up*

Wait, dad! .... FUCK.

*crushes my phone in my bare hands*

Myriad Reality

*Observes from the shadows*

@Legend

Aeron: *grits my teeth*

Damn it!

*lunges at alucard whith a fist to his stomach, who phasesteps to the side, placing his pistol to aerons head, firing a round that rips through space upon exiting the barrel, knocking aeron acros the landscape a few feet. Aeron regains his composure and walks towards alucard*

Alucard: Don't worry, I' ll keep this fun; for the both of us.

*fires multiple rounds at aeron, which seemingly dissapear from the nearby scenery, as if teleported elsewhere befor impact*

Aeron: *grabs alucards head, a portal opening in the palm of my hand. All of the bullets fired exit, riping through alucards flesh, as his remaining body goes slump, and he drops the body.*

Alucard: *another me forms in frotn of aeron, firing a bullet straight itno his face. The bullet scratches his face before plinging off as if it hit a sheet of metal*

Aeron: I thought you said you'd make it interesting...?

*thrusts my fist through his arm, sending the gun and arm flying off*

Alucard: *a beastly mosnter forms from the blood of my arm, biting into your neck, pinning you down to the ground as my arm reforms, summonign the gun back into my hand as I pull the trigger multiple times, sendign multiple rounds towards your mid-torso*

Myriad Reality

Aeron: did you come here just to talk, that show of your aura, was that all just a ploy?

Alucard: *grins toothily*

When have you ever known me to boast without action?

Aeron: *sighs*

You're going to actually make me kill you... aren't you? You know I don't want it to lead to that... just join us. This doesn't have ot end in bloodshed.

Alucard: bloodshed is the way of our lives, Aeron. Our lives are intertwined, the moment you and Shinji were born. We were cursed with misfortune. But shinji has a chance to change that. And if fighting you can buy him a little more time to do so... then I won't turn down a chance to see if I'm still up to snuff.

*raises my Jackal and Casull .45 pistols, leveled at your head*

Shall we begin this tiresome dance, son of mine?

Aeron:.... no. I refuse to fight you. This is stupid. Can't it be settled another way?

Alucard: you refused that way. You became lost in your delusion. Now draw your weapon.
