Enigma-[RP]

Drake was raleived to see that Alyna was now free from Deloris except... something terrible had just happened. Now the mesh took the same form and acted on its own, what a uniqe piece of technology Drake thought as he stood blankly and marveled the evil dark mesh with white eyes of fire...

Drake then suddenly snapped to his senses and realized that Alyna was now in trouble for the mesh monster was going to attack her and she uttered words that struck anger into Drake "If you survive! Don't say that Alyna, im gonna make sure you do!"

Drake then interlaced his fingers and cracked his knuckles outwards, he stood there planning out what he would have to do... Then without hesitation he pounced upon the dark figure with his fist drawn back in rage, his eyes screaming anger his fist blazing with fury!
 
Stephen had caught a glimpse of a man carrying an elderly man down a man hole and followed them. he saw the hole event from around a corner and dropped his bag onto the floor, he pulled the P90 from it that he had taken from the first clone and checked the clip. "gotta help them out somehow" he muttered as he clipped the clip back into position and took aim on the mesh creature.

He squeezed the trigger and Bullets began launching from the barrel of the gun towards the creature "have some of this" he announced.
 
As Drake attempted to interviene in the Fight Alyna and Deloris were matching each other blow for blow, kick for kick....everytime one tried to land a blow on the other it was quickly dodged or blocked away....it was like fighting a mirror image...only this mirror image was a phychotic machine hell bent on her death...

They moved quickly, and extremely agile, using there surroundings as leverage propelling themselves from walls, sewer walkway sides and manhole ladders...anything to try gain the upper hand on each other...

They fought hard and long...Alyna could feel herself begin to tire as the Machine known as Deloris relentlessly pursued her...

Eventually Alyna Went to dodge a Claw swing from Deloris and lost her footing, Deloris took this as an advantage and kicked dirt in Alyna's eyes then threw her into a wall....as Deloris prepared to leap across claw extended for what could be the finishing blow....*Bam* The punch Drake had threw staggered Deloris and sent sparks flying from the chestplate...

*Battle damaged.....armor integrity 45%...attempting to repair...Error...armor repair program is corrupt...Warning Self-Preservation Armor is critical....*

"NO....I cant lose!!...you fool how dare you interupt!" Deloris Barked and turned its focus to Drake...

Alyna noticed that on the back of the breastplate...a circuit panel had fallen open....the core of the A.I was exposed!

Now was her chance!

As Delorises attentions were focused on Drake she lept forward stabbing the claw hand into the exposed area and brutally ripped out the core of the A.I that was the main nerve centre of Deloris...

"Grghhh....No....Nohhnaghh!" Deloris screamed out in agony and turned to face Alyna who had the A.I core in the palm of her hand.

"Advanced Technology, meet old fashioned fixing methods" She exclaimed as she smashed the A.I core against a wall shattering it into small fragments beyond repair...

*Total System Failure....The Operation has failed...shutting down*

"Nooooo....You FOOLS!!!" Deloris screamed one final time as the chestplate began to shake and blank out, the mesh frame collapsed upon itself into a pile of metal shards...and the breastplate fell to the floor....lifeless once more....Deloris Alpha Zero One had been shut down....

Alyna fell to her knees and called Drake over while clutching her waist, Deloris has managed to catch her during there battle and had left a gash across her waist, she clutched tightly to the wound in an attempt to stop the blood that was leaking from the open wound and began to plea to Drake to come over to her....

Stephen ran over to the 'dead' chest plate and shot it around 10 times before the gun was empty. he dropped the gun and ran over to the injured Girl. "what the fuck was that thing?" he questioned as he placed his hand on hers and applied more pressure to the wound, "And I'm gonna have to get you an ambulance" he announced as he reached for his phone...

"great my phone is in my bag" he muttered as he looked at drake "Dude you have to get me my bag, it's on the floor just around the corner" Stephen then looked back at the girl "can you stand?" he asked
 
Drake watched as memories swam through his head like a river of the past, he was caught, drowning in his thoughts now as he watched the machine die and saw that Alyna was clutching herself... How could i let this happen?

Drakes mind went blank as he was seconds late on stopping Alyna from getting hurt, a sense of failure sunk into him but he knew that he still needed to act now more than ever, or else that wound could become fatal...

Drake rushed to Alyna side and caught her as she collapsed into his arms, she was weak and Drake didn't know what to do so he grasped her arm and helped her keep the blood from spilling right out of her... "I shouldn't have hesitated! If i would have just attacked a second earlier..."

Drake let his emotions grasp hold of him now and as he grasped Alyna in his arms the river of past memories streamed out of his eyes as a tears fell from his eye on to her arm that she was grasping her wound with... "This never should have happened like this..." Blood seaped from underneath her arm and he could see that this wasn't anything less then a very serious mayhbe even fatal wound.

Drake tried to comfort her as he could see the pain in her eyes as they shared a gaze with eachother "Don't worry, i'm not gonna let anything else happen to you, i'm gonna help you" The thing was he had no idea what to do... he couldn't jsut leave her grandfather here... Then Drake herd motion from behind him he thought it was Alyna's gramps but instead it was that young hooded boy he had run into before...

"Please help us... that old man... please help him..."

Drake fell back into Alyna's eyes and held her with all of hiimself...
 
Stephen noted that the girl had help from a guy who obviously loved her he turned and ran to get his bag. upon his return he helped the elder man to his feet and walked over to the two, pulling his phone from his bag. he hit a couple of buttons and then put it to his ear "this is officer Hownam, i need an Ambulance like now. we are in the south Sewers, beneath the tobasco pub we shall get the injured girl to the surface, just get an Ambulance here asap" Stephen then slid the phone closed and put it in his pocket "we have to get her to the surface" he informed the man with her.
 
Alyna turned her head to face the young man..."Your one of them!?!?" as she tore a sleeve from her coat and asked for Drakes help in making a makeshift bandage around her waist, she then took her lighter out of her coat pocket and picked a chunk of metal off the ground, heated it and slapped it against the wound under her arm and screamed out in pain as it was cauterised....

She dug her clawed hand into the side of the wall to help herself up, the wounds had been sealed for now but she was still uneasy on her feet as she had lost quite a bit of blood, the wounds were still quite painful but they were no longer life threatening...

As she dragged herself up the wall to her feet she noticed her grandfather stood next to this officer...

"Grandpa...Get away from him you heard what he said *cough* hes one of them" Alyna said as she struggled to maintain her balance

"You....Hownman....I knew your parents....and it seems theres a few things you and I need to talk about, but first...What the heck was that???" Alynas grandfather attempted to explain before being interupted by a loud siren accompanied by shouting.

"That thing is down here, it killed several of our officers, use deadly force as neccessary and take out any witnesses as well, if the engima heres about this our jobs are good as done!"

It was a large contigent of guards heading there way......

Alyna turned to Drake....."Get them out of here....I'll hold them off, I'd only slow you down anyway...." She proclaimed..Alyna could see the sorrow in Drakes eyes as the words hit him....

"Please, Drake you gotta get my grandpa outta here...and I dont want anything to happen to you either...." She gazed into Drakes eyes as she gripped onto the collar of his shirt with her right un-clawed hand..."I love you too, I always have" Alyna Pulled Drake towards her and they embrase in a kiss....time seems to stand still for the brief few moments that they share within the passionate kiss....Alyna pulls away slowly lingering for a moment looking at Drake and smiling....before turning her gaze back down the tunnel where the shouting was coming from and becoming increasingly louder and began limping in that direction.

She turned back round to noticed the three still stood there...."GO DAMMIT GO!" as she took a knee and pulled the clawed hand out of the wall, she opens her palm and began to charge up a static blast and aimed it for the ceiling of the sewage tunnel...

"Come on dammit...you will not take from me those I love this time scum of enigma!" She proclaimed as she waited for the guards to advance into that section of the tunnel...

Stephen saw the kiss and gritted his teeth a he strode past Alyna with his bag on his shoulders "your in no state to fight, you should go" he glanced over his shoulder at Drake "get her out of here" he then turned his gaze back up the tunnel, a look of dedication in his eye "I have nothing to live for, I'm a mere clone, a copy of another man. it's all im good for, all i was made to do" a tear rolled down Stephen's cheek "I was put on this world to serve and die, this is my choice, my burden" he then glanced at Alyna with a smile on his face "go, get better, and get married" he announced before turning and walking up the tunnel.
 
Alyna glanced over at the young man as he strode into the tunnel in front of her....

"I cant stop the static charge once it built, you cant take them alone anyway and I'm too weak to make it out of here let me help you, by taking out some of them"

She blasted the charge off into the roof, it buckled and began to collapse a large portion of the roof fell onto a group of guards crushing them....something unexpected happened however....

the roof above Alyna began to crack and buckle...

"Drake...I'm sorry but its for the best I have to protect you both" she mentioned as she looked back at Drake and her grandfather with a tear rolling down her cheek....the roof collapsed onto her area...as both she and steven vanished from the sight of her grandfather and Drake.....

"Alyna NOOOO!!" her grandfather yelled as he tried to make his way to her before realising it was too late....the tunnel was sealed Alyna was gone.....
 
Drake stood still... Face to face with a an unbreakable wall... Torn apart from the one girl he had ever loved...

A torrent of pain ran through him, only this pain took hold of his emotions not his body... He stared into the wall and a look of anger shaped itself upon his face and tears strided down the side of it like rain falling from the sky of his deep blue eyes...

His fist clenched with anger his emotions were strangled by the situation... his body went into shock and without regards to his health heis fist crashed into the wall of rubbel like a battering ram, yet the only damage done was to himself. His hand was crushed by the crippiling durability of the wall and trickled blood from the knuckles... He felt nothing however, only the sight of the crimson red blood struck him with grim hope...

But with hopeless dertermination his mind fixated back on the wall in front of him... His other fist clenched itself as he wiped the tears from his eyes and thrusted a punch into the wall... tears fell from Drake's eyes onto his blood soaked hand. His clothes covered in a splatter of blood, his face soaked with tears, choked by the sickness of the situation...

His lips quivered still tingly from the bitter sweet sensation of the situation and let out a tiny chuckle as he couldn't bring himself to say anything yet... He pressed his forehead against the wall and let his tears drip down his cheeks onto the wall and finally falling to the ground... He then pressed his back up against the wall and slid down into sitting possition and folded his hand behind his head and looked at the old man...

Then Drake finally found it in him to utter out something "Still the same old Alyna, she's never gonna let me help her out is she?" then Drake followed with a tiny laugh that was stuttered with his sadness... "Over and out Alyna" Drake said as he got back up to his feet and walked over to her grandfather "Now, if were gonna find a way out of Dealius and find Alyna... we got alot of work to do don't we?"

Then suddenly Drake herd a familliar voice coming from behind the old man "Yeah we do!"... It was Koffin he had been in the sewers long enough to watch the roof collapse and the moments that devestated Drake. Then Drake spoke "God damnit your a little late arn't you?" then a slight chuckle...

"I am sorry, but i had to finish this..." Koffin then showed them a bulky ring that looked like it was crafted with technology... Then Koffin spoke "This is a smaller version of The HAND that i have been working on for some time now... it has the power to malfuction the cameras in range of it but... we have to make a more powerful one that can shut down the laser gates and power off the enemies weopans"

Drake looked at Koffin and nodded then turned to Alyna's grandfather and nodded at him aswell then spoke to them both "We have little time... so what are we waiting for?" Drake then looked back at the wall and turned back to Koffin and then hastely started running back to the building...
 
Stephen strode towards the guards and then a flash of lightning and everything went Dark for the young clone.

2 hours later...

Stephen's eyes slowly opened, still very blurry. he could feel the cold concrete he was lying on his back. he had been stripped of the clothes he was wearing and they were replaced with tracksuit bottoms. he attempted to lift his right hand to his face, but was stopped by the hand cuffs connecting both of his hands together. "where am i" he managed to announce as his eyes came back into focus to reveal a dark empty cell.

he sat up, there was no toilet, no bed. It was just an empty 2 foot by 4 foot cell ~isolation~ Stephen thought to himself. as he got to his feet. the lock on the door opened with a loud metallic banging and then the door swung open. a blinding light was awaiting on the other side. forcing Stephen to shield his eyes "so your awake" is all he heard before he was punched in the side of the face.
 
Miles listened to Koffin and Drake discuss about "The Hand" then abruptly butted in.

"Thats all well and good, but arent you forgetting something?, we might be able to bypass most of there weapons and disable the camereas, but The Hand was not designed to shut down laser gates" He muttered before continuing to explain

"The laser gates at the junction of each section remodify there polarity every ten minutes, its impossible for "The Hand" to lock into every gates frequency and shut them all down for more than five minutes, If were going to do this we need to obtain the frequency charts from my basement and theres a few other things in there I think can assist us" Miles went on...

"Theres another room inside my basement, even Alyna did not know about, its connects to an underground R&D lab that will have all the tools we need to manufactor "The Hand" and several other useful tools, but.....without a Hownman this is all in vein"

Miles slowly shuffled around and looked at the solid rubble wall for a few moments then looked back at Koffin and Drake.

"Thats right that boy was a Hownman, each Hownman carries a special keycard needed to deactivate the final laser gate, and it cannot be deactivated any other way" Miles remembers something Alyna had mentioned to him about a guardpost key that led to information on how to deactivate the first security cordon to avoid the early warning system going off on the first gate deactivation....

"Drake that key you have from Alyna, I think you might need to pay a visit there also that key lets you in to a main guardpost to deactivate the first alert when the time comes to escape", he looks back at the wall...."I just wish Alyna was still with us to see this through"

A tear rolled down his cheek as he made his way over to Koffin and Drake as they began to depart for the secret R&D lab within his basement

About 10 minutes before there arrival in the R&D lab...

A figure shrouded in darkness is searching through various papers and devices and hunts about frantically searching for something...

The figure stops at a switch and presses it which lifts open a metal tube on the leftmost wall revealing....Another Black combat suit....unlike the previous one this was a Mechanised suit built entirely of Titanium alloy sheeting and frame, above the tubing was a text which read "Deloris X Zero Alpha" to the right of the tube was a status monitor...."X Zero Alpha is ready for combat usage"

The figure removes the suit piece by piece from its holding tube and puts it on, and takes something off its hand and discards it into the same tube...
as the helmet is donned the eyes flash up....glowing white *All systems nominal and Online....voice masking template...online....Deloris X Alpha Zero is combat enabled*

Boosters fire up on the back of the suit and it hurtles towards a wall and crashes through it, and speeds through the sewer system making its getaway....
 
Stephen was dragged into a large chamber and thrown to the floor "Bow before your king" the animated voice ordered as Stephen slowly picked himself up "I see no king to bow before" bright beams of light shot from the floor and the King's figure appeared as though it was in the town square "Now bow before me you insolent clone" Stephen raised his cuffed hands and also his middle finger towards the king "I refuse to bow to someone who refuses to show his face"

Stephen took another punch to the jaw and stumbled to his right "whats with hitting me when im cuffed" he announced as he looked at who hit him "wow, if i was this disobedient i would have been executed by now, you really should get a hold of yourself 10" Stephen gritted his teeth, it was a horrifically disfigured version of himself, another clone "I am 4, the only other remaining clone, the others were killed by you, or were to defective to fully function"

Stephen looked at the floor "function, i am a person, not some machine" he announced "that may be so, but i have to do what i have to do" the other clone paused momentarily "to be the best" he announced as he ran at Stephen. when the clone got close enough Stephen jumped into the air and round house kicked him in the head. knocking him to the floor. Stephen then ran over, took his Key card and ran towards the Exit. Using the card to escape the large chamber he went in search of his bag and also a way out of the facility he was in.
 
As The Mechanised suited figure moved through the sewage tunnels in high speed, several beeps could be heard from within....*Beep we are currently appoaching our destination area...Warning Warning....unknown obstruction encountered....cutting booster power* The suit grinded to halt just in front of the large pile of rubble from the tunnel collapse from earlier on....

The suited figure looked around as if to scout the area....nothing, It then took position with its left hand extended out clutching onto its left wrist with its right....*Charging Static blast Cannon*....*Ready to fire* the palm of the suit glowed with energy as static charge built up in front of it, the opperator let the static charge fly, blasting the rubble clear and opening the passage.

*Re-intiating booster system* the boosters fired back into life and the mechanised figure skated past the rubble and to a nearby manhole....

the boosters once again cut power and the figure stopped next to the ladder and accended it....the manhole cover was lifted and the figure again scanned the area....

*Danger....Several lifesigns detected...Safest route is X959,91 Y334.00* as a map showing safe passage blinked into the hud...

Slowly and quietly the mechanised figure climbed out of the manhole and replaced the cover and stealthily followed the mapped out route, until it eventually came out behind an old and rundown, but never the less heavily occupied guard station.

"Now I wait for them to open the door" The figure explained to itself, whomever it was, there voice was masked by a robotic synthasizer...making it impossible to tell just who it could be as the figure hid upon the roof behind several crates....awaiting there arrival....
 
Stephen had managed to avoid getting into any fights on his way to the surface but had managed to get himself lost "this place is like a maze" he muttered to himself as he ran through a door and found himself in a dark room. he searched around and found the light switch. he hesitated and then hit it. the lights powered up buzzing slightly, as they were powering up Stephen realized just where he was. "no" he muttered as he fell to his knees.

"NOOO" he screeched as he buried his hands in his face crying heavily "Don't cry" a voice came from the distance "who is there?" Stephen asked as he looked up. a small boy appeared in the distance, he was no older than 8 or 9 years. "I am the one nobody cares about" the young boy announced as he pulled Stephen's bag off of his back and handed it to the teenager "this is yours" Stephen looked into the young mans eyes "who are you?" he asked in a gentle tone

"I am you" the boy replied "my development was halted at a young age so i could be raised in his image" the boy announced before he coughed up blood "but it was soon discovered that i was defective and i was placed in here" the boy explained. Stephen took his bag and put it on his back "I'll get you out of here, i promi..." Stephen sentence was interrupted by a sharp pain in the back of his neck and him falling unconscious
 
Drake and the rest of the crew of people who were going to assemble what could possibly get them out of this wretched town of secrets and isolation made their way too Gramp's R&D lab... On the way there was nothing but the thought of the last moments he had shared with Alyna in his mind, and no matter how bad he wanted to get out of here... His mind struck with fear that he would not be able to leave without Alyna, in fact he knew that he wouldn't be able to bring himself to it if it came down to it...

Never the less he still had to strive to find a way out so that when he did finally find Alyna they could both live a life outside of Dealius.

When they reached the R&D lab they found that the place had been ransacked and alot of things were scattered amongst the room... Not to mention there was a big hole in the wall that was made by god knows what...

Drake turned to Alyna's grandfather and Koffin and simply stated "This can't be good..."
 
"No, it cant be..." Miles stated as he ran towards the now empty metal tube that contained what he hoped would be a major turning point for them..."It's gone....X Alpha Zero...is gone!" he lowered his head in disapointment as something in the tube caught his eye, he reached in an picked it up and cradled it in his right arm as he walked over to Drake and Koffin and began to explain exactly what was missing...

"X Alpha Zero, one of the peacekeeper mechs that was once in the service of the first king of dealius, when the enigmatic king usurped to power, these peacekeeper mechs were all but destroyed, any surviving mech were quickly snapped up by members of the resistance in order to fight back"....he took a deep sighing breath and continued

"But even those were whiped out entirely as the enigmatic king had despatched several Alpha Zero One units to take them out, exactly like the one you encountered earlier that had control of Alyna, The Alpha Zero Ones were quicker and didnt suffer from the drawback of energy cell combustion needs, so eventually the peacekeeper units were destroyed, only X Alpha Zero is left, to make sure X Alpha Zero wouldnt suffer the same fate as the other peacekeeper mechs, we kept it here and improved it.....building a more efficent energy cell combustion chamber, meaning even the smallest cell could power the suit for hours, it is every bit as strong and perhaps quicker than the Alpha Zero One, without it though, its going to be a chore for us to accomplish anything...." Miles looked down at the item he was cradling in his arm and walked over to Drake...

"I think you may recognise this, and if we encounter the thief that took X Zero Alpha....I think your going to need it" Miles picks up the item in his left hand and hands it Drake....It was a circuit breaker knucklebrace gauntlet, identical to the one Alyna wears....the claw extention was even activated just like it was on Alyna's and the most interesting part of all.....There was blood stains on the claw blades themselves....

"Now put it on, and aim your hand in any direction you wish to fire it and open your palm....it takes a few seconds to build a charge but once its built fully extend your palm open by lifting your fingers up as high up as you can get them to let the charge go......" Miles explained to Drake on how to the use the device lest it be a major help to him, as such a device was to Alyna....

"Now, Koffin Although we have been ransacked it seems only X Alpha Zero is gone, so we still have all the tools we need to work on The Hand, But I really think someone should scout that guard outpost to see how hard a time were going to have with that place....Drake you up to the task?" Miles asked as he was tidying away papers from a workbench and setting up several different pieces of machinery, then turned to Drake and awaited his reply....


At the Same time on the roof of the guardpost:

The Mech-suited figure began to grow impatient of waiting, and powered down the suit to save energy, it removed the helmet and placed it one the floor next to them...The person inside the mechs long brunette hair flicked with the wind as they drifted into daydream about personal, private thoughts and feelings....
 
Stephen's eyes slowly opened, again they were completely out of focus "not again" he muttered through the pain in the back of his neck he placed his hand behind his head and realized he was hit by a guards stun gun "the little shit tricked me" Stephen muttered as he climbed to his feet "Mr Hownam, please come peacefully" an animated voice announced. at this point Stephen realized he wasn't wearing cuffs but instead he had metal bangles on his wrist "and if i don't" he announced as he clenched his hands to make fists.

There was no answer causing Stephen to smile and then his wrists were drawn together by a powerful magnetic charge. coming together with a metallic 'clink' he looked at his now bound hands in surprise "oh, right then, I'll come peacefully" he announced as his arms demagnetized.
 
Drake examaned the knuckle brace that Alyna had worn before... Already memories of the hour past he had occuring in his head, the thought of that wall crashing down upon them and crashing down upon their future... But this knuckle brace brought new hope to Drake, for he realized that if this had managed to find its way back here then somehow Alyna must have made her way back here as well.

Yet Drake was still frightened by the situation... Another thing came to realization in his mind, if the knuckle brace had made its way back here and now the mech was now gone. It could only amount to a few things one of witch Drake feared, in which case Alyna might be the onse with the suit.

Still Drake had to act and he had to act fast if he ever wanted to get out of this place, and hopefully save Alyna... He placed the knuckle brace on his hand and folded his hand togather as not to set off an uneeded charge, he was new to the machinery and therefor it might take him a while to get use to it. However his past experiences with Alyna might be enough for him to know how to use the knuckle brace effeciently.

Before Drake took out the door Koffin stopped him and said "Here take this small version of the hand, it might help you on your way there... I know what your thinking Drake but you have to go, or else... we might never get out of here..." Drake took the ring and went running out the wall and towards the station where he was told to go and scout...

Upon arrival Drake could see from a distance upon the roof a dark figure with long hair that was flowing like a river in the wind and without thinking in excitement Drake ran out towards the figure and called out "Alyna!!!"...

When Drake came to realize that what he had done might not have been the smartest choice he quickly prepaired himself for whatever might come his way... Behind his back the knuckle brace opened his fingers and he started charge the firing mechanism...
 
The mech-suited figure heard the calls of "Alyna" and quickly redonned the helmet and turned to face Drake, the eyes on the mask flashed as the operator scanned him....*Danger...danger...Electromagnetic charge detected*

*Warning, multiple lifesigns detected....heading in this direction...Enabling combat mode*

The suit stood up and the boosters roared in to life as the mech hurtled towards Drake....and shot past him ramming a guard behind him into a nearby wall.

The mech suit stood still for a second before turning around to face Drake, the suit stood slightly shorter than Drake but was never the less quite dominating due to its structrual build....

"There are more on the way, give me the key I dont want to see you get hurt" The person from within the mech stated, there voice disguised by the robotic synthasizer....

The mech reached out its hand and opened its palm waiting for Drake to hand over the key...
