Enigma-[RP]

*thud thud thud* Stephen kicked on the door as his hands were full by the body of Sarah, as the door creaked open Stephen's eyes didn't falter from the floor. A female Screech allowed him to know it was Sarah's mother who came to the door. the tears streamed down his face as Sarah's father came to the door with a "what the hell did you do to my daughter" Sarah's body was then taken from Stephen and ran into the house. Sarah's mum walked away and her older brother was stood behind her "If i ever see you again, I'll kill you" he announced, Stephen nodded in agreement moments before the door was slammed.

Stephen then decided to return home to his adopted mother, to confront her as to why he was never told he was a clone.
 
As they sat there in the silence of the room, waiting in suspense for Koffin to return... What is this all leading up to? Drake asked himself as he contemplated the past events of the last few days... Will there finally be a way out of Dealius, will the truth of the Enigma be uncovered?

Time felt like it had stopped at a halt, and the suspense made it seem as though the time would never come that Koffin would show up... But suddenly the door nob twitched and turned and the door opened slowly, and Koffin walked into the building.

Without moments hesitation Koffin withdrew a knife from his pocket, and chucked it dillegently at the camera in the room slicing through one of the wires of the mainframe... "That should disable the camera's connection, so that it stays showing the same picture of the empty table, we are free to move around now..."

Drake smiled at the cleverness of Koffin's handywork "Okay so now tell us what is going on..." Koffin laughed at how much trouble this had been and how much trouble it could turn into... Then Koffin spoke "Alyna as you can already tell by that piece of armor you are wearing... your grandfather is the techno-mage" Koffin turned around and placed his ear on the door to make sure nobody was listening.

"We need him... and you, to make a powerful weapon that could possibly set us free from Dealius" The idea of this shocked Drake with a feeling of final freedom, and Koffin continued "In my research i have stumbled upon blueprints of a weapon that was once under construction during the Rebelion days, and now i need you to create it..." Silence covered the room as Koffin place the blueprints down on the table for brief moment intill Koffin continued...

"I need you to create The HAND"
 
Alynas grandfather hastily rises to his feet, which despite his age is pretty swift..."The Hand!!"...."But we cannot finish The Hand without a certain component that was carried by one of the main resistance leaders, and they are no longer around...." He explains in an authorative tone...

As Alyna sits she tries to take this all in, she looks at her grandfather with a look of concern..."Grandpa, why didnt you tell me about this?...." She lowers her head as the concern turns to distress....all this time and she never knew that her grandfather was a member of the resistance....why didnt he tell her...why!

"Its high time I told you, I guess..." Alynas grandfather walks up to her and places his hand on her shoulder...she raises her head and her eyes meet his as she listens slightly braced for what hes about to say "The Reason you have never met your mother and father is......is because they were killed while on a mission to capture the plans for The Hand" Alyna gasps in shock as she tries to take it in... "Your monther and father did love you very much, they wanted you to live without the fear that we deal with everyday, that is why they were members of the resistance, and that is why they took that final mission for those blueprints" He continutes to explain as he reaches for the blueprints and turns them over revealing writing on the back....."In there final moments, your mother and father wrote this on the back of the blueprints and entrusted them to me before they passed on...I'd Like you to read them"

Alyna, takes the blueprints from her grandfather and begins to read alloud "My Wonderful Daughter, Im sorry this will be the only piece of knowledge you will ever have of us, but please understand we did this for you, so you would one day grow up in a world free of the enigma....We love you very much, and we would give anything for one final chance to hold you..in our arms and tell you how much we love you"....As Alyna finishes reading her voice trembles and her eyes begin to well up....she notices Drake sat across from her and doesnt want him to see her cry, so she dashes to the bathroom with her arm shielding her eyes as she begins to burst into tears....about her grandfather....her parents.....everything!
 
As Stephen approached his front door the fury was apparent, his eyes were emitting the rage, people were stepping out of his way as he had a gun holstered to his thigh. as he approached his house he pulled out a communicator that was mall enough to slot into his ear. "Stephen Hownam here, about to enter the house of one of the remaining resistance members, Sector 2 house 7 please send one unit of armed response" he announced into the com.

As he arrived at the Door he un holstered the pistol "Mrs Hownam, we are breaching the Premises, do not resist" he announced as he kicked the Door off it's hinges and entered the room with the gun pointing directly ahead of him. He caught sight of his mother in the kitchen with a knife in her hand. "Mrs Hownam drop the knife" he announced "Stephen whats going on?" she asked shock in her voice "you have been found guilty of high treason, place the knife on the table and lie on the floor" His mothers eyes welled with tears and she complied.

Stephen holstered his weapon and cuffed her hands behind her back "why son, why" Stephen lifted her to her feet "Because im not your son am I" he announced as he lead her outside and placed her in the armed response Unit's cage for prisoners. Stephen climbed in and hitched a ride to the sector 3 prison.
 
"Christ!" The young man shouted as the alarm next to his bed shrilled loudly. Rene Skylar quickly jumped out of his bed and stretched his arms as he overcame the shock of the wake-up call. "What time is it anyway?" He asked himself as he grabbed the clock. He looked at the face for a few seconds before realising the time.

"Shiiit!" He shouted as he threw on his jacket and legged it to the door. He had overslept by 4 hours and was now late for his appointment with an old friend at the local bar. "Crap, if he ain't there I'm gonna be in so much shit." He swore loudly as he charged out of his foster home, a few people shouted at him as he ran but he completely ignored them.

"Hey! Kid!" An armed officer shouted at him. "Stop right there!"

"Sorry! Got no time to play bro'!" Rene shouted as he smashed into the man and knocked him out. His partner stood only a few metres away so Rene easily sprinted the distance and smashed his knee into the man's head as he jumped nimbly. As the man fell, Rene nimbly landed and smirked as he started to run once more.
 
Drake rushed to the bathroom door to comfort Alyna, but right before he went in he was given a look by both Koffin and Alyna's grandfather that ment stay away... Drake always tended to forget about her easy temper but it was more than just her temper that they needed to be careful of... Her armor was very dangerous and if she went into an extreme emotional state then bad things could happen...

So to make sure that her mood would stay calm Drake simply sat outside the door and tried to comfort her "Alyna, its okay to let your feelings out, i can understand how all of these things rushing at you could make you feel, if you need to talk i am here okay?"

Whilst this was happening Koffin conversed with them about the contruction of The HAND... So Koffin spoke "This will not be an easy task, we will all need to help in this, and I don't know how long this can be kept a secret so we will have to do this relitively fast" Silence covered the room momentarilly "So we have no time to waste, Techno i am going to gather the materials needed, Drake you stay here and make sure that Alyna stays under control, I will be back soon..."

Although Drake knew that he was telling the truth, he wasn't quite sure how safe it would be now that all of this could happen, but it needed to happen, or else, this life of seclusion and mystery would be the life they would live for ever...
 
the Van slowed down as it approached the Sector2/3 east joining gate. Stephen could hear the driver speaking with the Gate master "arrested in the east housing area, member of the Resistance" he heard causing him to grit his teeth as he glanced down at his bag. Stephen heard the gate open and the van began moving again "Ten minutes left and your out of my hands" he announced to his adoptive mother.
 
"Yo Andy!" Rene shouted cheerfully as he saw his parents old best friend. He had dark tanned skin and wore a large brown garb wrapped around him. He wore dark blue goggles and large brown gloves. He looked at the boy and smiled ever so slightly.

"Good to see you Rene." The man said in his normal, deep tone. In his hand he held a small cup filled with whisky and ice. A beer had been set down on the other side of the table and Rene smirked.

"Thanks bro'" Rene said as he sat down and grabbed the bottle. He realised it was half empty and smirked at Andy. "Feel the need for something soft?"

"It's not yours, you're not 18 yet. That's for our guest." Andy told them as he waved his hand to the right, Rene turned his head and gasp in shock as he realised an old man was stood in front of him

"Why hello there young man." The old man smiled gently, he had very little hair and was very small. "I take it your are Mr. Skylar? Andria and James' only son correct?"

"You knew my parents?" Rene asked, wondering what the hell was going on.

"That's right. In a way I guess you could call me there old boss." The man smiled.

"They never had jobs..." Rene realised who the man was and lowered his voice to a whisper. "You're... one of the old resistance?"

"Correct." The old man told him. Andy had put his drink down now and lowered his collar so his mouth was visible.

"You're parents were valuable people, and they meant the world to me." Andy told Rene. "I don't want to put you in any harm but lately... Strange things have happened. Many people within the resistance have been killed and gone missing. They may eventually come to you as your parents were high up in the food chain."

"What are they looking for that they'd even try to get me!?" Rene demanded, slightly paranoid.

"We do not know, whatever it is, it must be important." The old man told him.

"Who the bloody hell are you!" Rene demanded.

"My name is Leral, one of the remaining commanders of the Resistance." The man grinned. "And we want you to join us."
 
''Please Mr leave me alone.''Erene cried.''Shut the fuck up.''The man replied.
''Hey you,leave the woman alone and surrender.We won't hurt you if you do this.''A police officer said.''If you do anything i'll blow her minds in the air.'' ''We are twelve and you are only one,we kill you before you shoot her.''
Suddendly twelve people wearing hoods appeared behind the policemen attacked them.Before the policemen understand what happened the hooded people had killed them.Then they started looking at their pockets for money,took their weapons and they with the mysterious man who was holding Erene ran to the sewers.
''You are very talented.Have you ever thought to be an actor?''Erene asked the mysterious man.The man took off the scarf and revealed his face,it was Zitanier.''Yes,but I was too good for them.'' ''By the way,I played a basic role in the operation.Don't I deserve a weapon or some money?''She asked him.''We have something more special for you.It's in the Twin-Headed Eagles major base at Sector 1.'' ''But I'm only 16 years old.'' Zitanier handed her a card''Don't worry we have got a fake ID for you.''
 
the final ten minutes of the journey seemed to pass slowly, Stephen's head was full of thoughts. all of which seemed to be of the other clones final words. he looked at the woman he had called Mother for so many years "who am I?" he asked "your Stephen Hown..." "no, thats what you called me, who am i a clone of" Stephen asked as the Van stopped "you can find that out for your self" she replied as the back doors opened.

Stephen grabbed his bag and lead the way out of the van. there was a strange whistling sound and as Stephen looked up he saw a rocket heading towards him or the van "everyone get down" he shouted as he dove out of the way, Landing behind a mound of dirt he heard the ground shacking explosion. he stood up and looked over at the annihilated van. "Shit" he announced as he looked up to where the shot had come from then back at the van that was now swarming with guards checking for survivors.

Stephen sprinted over and found nothing of the prisoner asides her right arm "Guys, find out what happened here. and make sure you get an accurate answer for who the target was" one of the guards looked at Stephen "it was probably the prisoner, being Assassinated so she couldn't give away any details about the Resistance or what they are planning.
 
Ryusuke hears the rocket's impact before he feels the hot wind from it. He wasn't close enough for the debris or sharpnel to hit him, but the initial heat of the explosion lazily drifted over him. Had he been ten feet closer it would've been fatal. "What the hell was that...?" he wonders, looking at the wrecked van and scrambling guards. His hand goes to his gun, not drawing it out of its concealed leather holster, but getting ready to in case another attack were to occur.
 
Stephen turned to face where the rocket had come from, "Dammit, how did someone get into Sector 3 without an ID badge" he announced as he caught a glimpse of a person fleeing the scene and chased after him. ~he wont get away from me~ Stephen thought as he chased after the man.
 
As the emotions and thoughts begin to rush through her head, Alyna's sight goes hazy and she feels dizzy until she eventually blacks out....

*Initating/////Beep Beep....Self Preservation System....Deloris Alpha Zero One....Online...Beep* The Chest plate springs to life, lighting up and opening outwards...a black mesh uncoils itself from within and wraps itself to Alyna's shape covering her entirely....the place where here eyes would be begin to spark with white glowing energy as the system brings itself fully online...The black suit sits up and reaches for the staff....

*Activating combat-bladestaff* The staff head and haft open and collapse backwards on themselves and 2 beams of light protrude from each end...

*Malfunction...A.I file is corrupt....rerouting...to backup A.I...error...Beep...Error....*

"Shut it, I'm In control now!!" A darkened, electronically sounding voice barks....The black suit pounces towards the door and kicks it down...

"Well well, This'll be like shooting fish in a barrel....prepare yourselves unworthy skum....I am Deloris...I am the most superior technological advancement of A.I the world has ever seen....and now I am your death!" The black figure spins up the bladestaff and pounces onto the side of the wall and propels itself towards Alynas grandfather, he panics and attempts to reason with it as it comes towards him constantly yelling "STOP ALYNA What are you doing ITs Me your Grandfather STOP!". the pleas fall on deaf ears as the black suit known as Deloris propels itself towards Alyna's grandfather and with a swift kick, knocks him across the room and unconcious...

"KYAHHAHAHA!!...Miserable human...." As Deloris mocks Alyna's now unconcious grandfather, it turns to face Drake "Well, what are you standing there for, put em up and make this at least a little bit of a challenge" Deloris spins up the blade staff and moves into a crouched position....staff held up with its right arm behind its back supporting its weight with its left.....ready to pounce and engage Drake in combat!

Drake looked at the dark figure with peircing white eyes... the meer sight of this figure not only disturbed Drake but it literaly sent a shiver crawling down his spine as he realized that... this thing wasn't Alyna any more.

Thank god Koffin had pre-warned Drake about the situation, otherwise Drake could be just like Alyna grandfather, out cold on the floor... Now was not the time to try and reason with the machine, its just cold hard metal, no emotions, no memories, only its systematic malfuction that has warped its intent to protect into the intent to kill.

Drake folded his hands togather and stretched them outwards cracking his knuckles... Now was the time for Drake to step up to the plate and show what his worth is, he had to fight to protect her.

Drake jumped from his seat and clasped both of his hand on the chair that he was previously sitting in... He stared into the white eyes of the cold the emotionless figure "Deloris is the name?" After the words slipped from his mouth he lifted the chair from the ground and swung it around grasping the momentum it needed to send it launching towards Deloris "By the way... you can call me Drake"
 
As the chair hurtled towards Deloris, its eyes narrowed, and with one quick swing of the blade staff, it cut straight through the chair...Deloris stands tall and shifts combat position into the exact same stance Alyna was in on there encounter in the alley...

Deloris spins up the blade staff in the exact same fashion as Alyna would..."Hraghhh!....DiE!" It barks as it backflips onto the wall behind and once again uses it as a springboard and propels itself towards Drake, the black mesh coil opens itself up slighly on the left hand and Deloris attaches the knuckle brace, the mesh recoils itself back around the exposed area.

unlike before however, when Alyna was using it, Deloris presses a hidden trigger on the circular disk of the knuckle brace, the bulky knuckles, open up and extend forward attaching themselves to the finger tips to form a steel claw hand!

The disk spins up and begins to build static charge, Deloris opens its palm as the charge builds up and prepares to let the charge off....aimed directly at Drake!

"Well petty human...Its time to FRY!!....KYAHAHAHA!!"
 
As Stephen sprinted around the corner he found the person he was chasing caught at a dead end. "who are you?" Stephen announced the person spun around, he had no gun on him, just a long metal pole "I am you, and you are me" Stephen gripped the handle of his Pistol and pointed it at the shooter "so your a clone?" the man in the mask nodded "indeed, i am 9 of 10" Stephen gripped the handle "the one sent before me was 8 of 10 the others as so radically deformed they weren't allowed to leave the facility. 8 and myself were allowed out, but only at night" the clone explained.

*Bang* the clone fell to the floor with a bullet hole in it's head "those guys talk way to much" Stephen announced as he turned around and headed back to sector two.
 
Drake gathered all he could in his mind of what this thing was, anything he could use to his advantage he would try and any weakness the machine might have he would take advantage of as well...

He didn't have alot of time to figure out a way to take care of the evil thing named Deloris... Then as the black faded from the hand of the thing Drake remembered that still, deep down inside, in this thing was Alyna.

Drake's jaw dropped when he saw the charge of electricity that would soon soar towards him, and now if any, would be the time to develop a plan to take the thing down... If Alyna's emotions can trigger the machine... then maybe they could shut it off?

It wasn't alot but it was all Drake could devise in such short notice, and so he began to test his theorey... First he decided to test anger "Hey Alyna, even with this high tech stuff... you still fight like a prissy little girl! Your pathetic!"
 
Deloris let the charge fly off, it wizzed past Drakes head and hit a wall....

Deloris stopped in its tracks holding onto its head looking like it was in pain, definatley a strange thing for a machine....

"Gragh Stop fighting me...I am in control now...let me..AGH!!" Deloris fell to its knees for a second, then rose again discarding the bladestaff taking an aggressive combat stance with the clawed hand taking frontal position and the unclawed hand guarding the waist....

"She cant hear you....Shes unconcious you fool!....I am in control now and your mine....this is going to be all too easy....HERAGH!!" Deloris explained before charging forward swinging multiple claw swipes, spinning kicks and sweep attempts at Drake in what could be described as a blind fury, but suprisingly accurate for such speedy swings.....however everytime the claw was about to hit its mark its as if Alyna was somehow fighting from within despite her state of unconciousness, as each claw swing would be slighly diverted by an arm jerk before it struck its intended mark....

"STOP IT...STOP INTEFEREING...AGHHHARGH!" With a loud bellow Deloris, turned tail and crashed through a window making its escape....Alyna still inside the highly demented machine..

Charging through the backstreets Deloris came face to face with a congient of guards...

"What the Hell is that!!?" one of them yelled...."I dunno but it looks dangerous take it out!!" another replied as they moved in on Deloris...

"Pitiful waste of life, such a shame im hardly going to have to lift a finger with you...Kyahahaha!!" Deloris snapped and with extreme agility and speed stepped towards the nearest guard, plunging the claw hand deep into his chest....the body feel lifeless at Deloris'es feet as the guards opened fire and the bullets bounced off....Deloris slashed out with the claw decaptiating a second guard, then punched the clawed hand through the third guards chest and charged up a static blast with the arm still potruding through the guards chest cavity and unleashed a fully charged blast at the forth taking out not only the guard....but a nearby parked car and disabling several cameras in the area....The final guard carried on firing while backing off, Deloris dodged each bullet with lightning speed and did a jumping spinning kick to knock him to the floor....he laid there helpless as Deloris stood over him gazing at him with the Piercing white eyes....

"wha....what are you?" the guard asked clearly terrified

"who am I?....I am your death...next life try to put up a fight and make it a challenge next time hmm?" Deloris replied before picking the guard up with its right hand then sinking the clawed hand through his chest, before brutally pulling the clawed hand back out, dragging out his entrails, and arogantly discarding the body to the side like some kind of doll.


Deloris then scanned the area for an escape route, and spotted an open sewer manhole and jumped down it....disapearing into the depths of the darkened sewer tunnels.....

"God damnit!" Drake yelled as if nothing could ever go right... just as things were starting to unfold this big array of destruction was set loose upon everything, Drake wasn't sure that he would ever get out of Dealius now, but still he tried...

Drake grabbed the old man with all the streanght he had and carried him upon his back as he chased after Deloris... I'm not done with you yet he thought to himself... He followed the trail of blood left by the gaurds that it had slaughtered and left on the ground "This isn't going to turn out good..." Drake then asked himself, If Alyna is still in there? Then where would she go to hide? Right as the thought crossed his mind he saw a misplaced manhole lid and realized that Deloris had probably went in there...

After Drake carried the old man on his back as he traced the pool of blood left by the killing machine he finally had caught up with it... Now was Drake's last chance to save Alyna to save everybody that might get in the way of Deloris... He seemed to get a reaction from Alyna's emotions and so now was his final blow to Deloris, the only thing left he could hope would save her...

First... Sadness "Look at what you have done!" Drake said as he showed the unconsious grandfather of hers "He cared for you you'r whole life and you do this to him?"

Second... Happiness "Why would you do this? Don't you remember all the good times we shared when we were kids, all the fun we had?"

And last... Love "Alyna you can't do this, you have to brake free from Deloris, i can't let this happen to you because... because... i love you Alyna..."
 
Deloris collapsed to the floor upon hearing these words and began writhing in agony....

The mesh began to start retracting from around Alyna and noticable to Drake...she was fully concious again and trying to struggle with the machine for control.

"Get off of me....I am not your puppet...GET OFF!!" Alyna yelled as she wrapped her fingers around the hinges of the breastplate and started pulling

"NO You cant Do this to me!!...YOU NEED ME!! YOU Can NEVER LEAVE without the knowledge I hold in my memory banks!" Deloris protested as the mesh began to recoil around Alyna.

"All I need is my friends and my grandfather....NOW GET OFF ME!!" Alyna screamed as she unhooked the breastplate and yanked it off and threw it to the ground, the mesh still uncoiled as it fell to the floor still in the shape of Alyna

"You Fool what have you done...You'll pay for this..If you dont want to be one...then I'll extreminate you myself" The Breastplate howled...still operational

*Beep///Blip Activating Automated combat Mode...Online...Beep* The mesh began to take the shape that it had previously held around Alyna and began to rise up....The horrifying darkened mesh machine shifted into a combat stance...

"Come on human trash, lets go at it, just you and me...I'll show you why my A.I is superior to anything you could ever be!" Deloris raised its left hand and the mesh on the finger tips molded itself into a clawed hand...

Alyna looked down at her left hand and realised the knucklebrace had somehow retracted a claw like apendage around her finger tips, She looked back at Drake and her Grandfather then turned back to face Deloris and took her stance.

"Drake, if I survive this....you and I need a long talk" Alyna mentioned looking out of the corner of her eye before meeting her gaze with that of the machine Deloris'es "Ok...Lets do this!" She proclaimed before charging towards the machine and clashing claw hands with it to open there battle to the death.....
