[Jacob]

*Setting: The driver ignored the three Orkhids constant mumblings and studied the road carefully. It was dark and the street lights seemed to be getting dimmer and dimmer with each turn. Taking a left he noticed Jale and the dark red, transport van underneathe two streetlights and sighed happily. He was tired and wanted to go home and shower. The driver himself was of Orkhid origin but ran from his family home when the beatings he recevied got more and more brutal and started disrupting his performance as a recruit. Fearing for his life he took off and was recruited by the Agency a year later, were he was trained and looked after. Nearing the van he noticed Jale and two guards with him. Both the guards were Mudokons and dressed in dark lycra. Possibly to conceal them more in the darkness. He mumbled something and gradually slowed down. Stopping a couple of feet behind the van.*

Driver: "Hey-hey!!"

He climbed out and waved, smiling at Jale and the others.

Driver: "Hurry up and get them loaded. I wanna get home..."

Jale smiled and stepped upto him, the two guards unholstered their pistols and walked towards the side of the bus. Peering through the windows at the creatures.

Jale: "Oright, mon...Yu'll git ther soon enuff...Where'z Ella?"

The driver reached into his Sheepskin jacket and pulled out a packet of cigarettes. Pulling one out he looked up at Jale to answer.

Driver: "Ba..."

He stopped, staring at Jales right shoulder which seemed to be branding a small red dot...a lasersight. As Jale looked at him in puzzlement he realised something wasn't right. The small dot had now left Jale' body which only meant one thing...
*Flo-doosh*
The drivers chest spattered black blood all over the front of Jale who staggered backwards, shocked. The two guards who were pulling the secured Orkhids out of the bus turned rapidly at the sound of Jales shocked gasp. He was now holding up the driver who had flopped forwards. Blood pouring onto the ground, making it look as if there had been some sort of Oil leak.

Voice: "Well done, children..."

The snide remark came from behind the van and as the two guards looked in that direction a small metallic ball bounced up over the roof of the van and exploded in a flash of light. Immediatly the streetlights in that street had been reduced to flickering sparks. The two guards flung the Orkhids back into the bus and slammed the door shut, reaching into their belts and pulling out small torches. Jale turned around in the blackness, trying to see who the mysterious creature was. And as he turned to face the van he saw two, glowing yellow eyes on top if it. The eyes seemed to dart downwards and as they met evenly with his, and with an un-seeable movement, the Mudokon was kicked backwards and further into the road. Landing on his side and skidding on the ground for a brief moment.

Attacker #1: "HURRY UP...!!"

Gunshots could be heard from near the bus and the nozzles could be seen flashing. The torch lights seemed to run across the street wildly, trying to pick up on the attackers. A short burst of what sounded like Uzi fire seemed to stop the torches from scanning the area and instead made them drop down to the ground. Indicating the guards demise.

Attacker #1: "Get them outta the bus...and step on it."

The being blinked its star-like eyes and scanned the area, snarling readily. Four more yellow eyes seemed to appear from nowhere and move towards the bus, there was the sound of the slide door opening and then grunting of creatures.

Attacker #1: "Thats him...kill the other two."

Jale couldn't see what was going on, but he assumed that they were the creatures seemingly at war with the Agency...

*Setting:Two gunshots rang out through the air with the thuds of two corpses following.
*Car horn*
Turning his head to the right and slowly picking himself up the Mudokon noticed a hover car heading towards them. It was slowly sauntering to the ground with the headlights on at a low brightness. Jale knew he couldn't allow them to take the mark and quickly ran forwards to were he believed the van would be and as he briefly passed through the headlights of the vehicle there was a call. Jale didn't care what it was, he just stretched out his arms and allowed himself to hit the side of the vehicle...hard. He grunted and turned his head, looking over his shoulder, to see what was going on. The stary-eyed figure was heading towards him now, its sillouette hinted in the headlights. Jale felt his way to the left and finally found the door handle, tugging the door open he leapt inside. The being grabbed his ankle and tugged him. The Mudokons hands felt around for the alarm system. He held onto the clutch with his left hand and looked around, feeling for the alarm with his right. The being had grabbed both of his legs now and was tugging him out, the clutch was groaning with the force and Jale was losing his grip.
*BEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEP*
The sound sang out from the van and the being immediatly let go, snarling as the sound entered its ears. Turning onto his back Jale then kicked out, hitting the attackers stomach and pushing it backwards. More rapid gunfire could be heard and as the frightened Mudokon sat up in the van he saw beams of light zooming towards the site. The lights were headlights of all the nearest Agents around and the hail of bullets was coming from them. The attacker growled and covered its face up with its left arm and side stepped away. Jale could now see that it was a Shadowcrawler and obviously unhappy with the light intensity that was being cast down upon it. As it ran for cover the other hover car slowly began to rise and turn, the creatures inside were dosing out what they were recieving and hammering the incoming vehicles with yellow-jacket bullets. A special type of armour piercing projectile that made little work of metal or kevlar. The Shadowcrawler leapt through the air and grabbed hold of the front bumper with its right claw. Its torso and appendages were all burning through the light and becoming increasingly uncomfortable. A bark escaped its mouth as a bullet hit the bumper and wobbled it, sending the being falling 18ft to the ground and breaking its legs. Jale watched as some of the Agents leapt out of their cars and honed in around it. Others stayed in their vehicles and took off after the others who had stolen their mark. Radio's could be heard, their staticy remarks incoherant to the creatures who weren't at the right hearing distance. Laser sights hit the creatures entire body and as they moved in the being rolled onto its stomach and placed its hands onto the back of its head. They captured him, handcuffing him mercilessly and roughly dragging and throwing him into one of the cars. The creature was about to bear all about everything...*
