Part 2
*Setting: Gunshots echoed throughout the nightsky, flashes from gun nozzles could be seen, showing themselves through the darkness. The sounds of Sligs on their radio's seemed to come from everywhere. Quade looked out from his resting place, he was behind a large sheet of metal, a piece from the downed Airship. Drawing his guns he looked into the darkness. He was wearing his ankle-length Leather jacket and black t-shirt and jeans. His feet were bare so that he could run faster and climb tree's if the time called. Silian was also resting behind the metal barriar, his breathing heavy and laboured, as he became increasingly excited about the situation they had been put in. He, too, was wearing all black.*
Quade: "We're gonna have to make a break for it...your contacts working??"
He referred to the contact lenses that the Agency had supplied all of the Agents with, they allowed all of the group to see in the dark and thus have an added advantage. Although the advantage was yet to be seen as the Sligs could also see in the dark and was making a great effort to stop the intruders.
Silian: "Yeh...aren't i gonna get a gun, though??"
He looked at his mentaur in frustration and hope. He hadn't got the chance to shoot a gun yet and he was eager to try it out now, on the field, in the midst of battle. Turning Quade looked at him and smirked. He then reached for his holster, which was positioned on his thigh, and brought out one of his two guns. Slowly he gave it to the Sauk.
Quade: "Becareful with it and dont shoot unless you need to, save the ammo..."
Nodding the, now armed, Sauk slowly climbed to his feet and on the three count, he and Quade ran out and attempted to get past the onslaught of bullets...

*Setting: Low snarls came from the darkness as yellow eyes became apparent. Most of the Sligs were looking in the direction were the gunshots were coming from and thus not noticing the Shadowcrawlers creeping out from the darkness. One by one the sly intruders positioned themselves behind the simple guards and dispatched them with a quick throat swipe of a Katana or Machete. It was a quick and silent death, one that meant the 'crawlers could progress quickly, and that they did. As soon as the Sligs were killed the horde of killers ran towards were the Agents were situated, ready to put their plan into action...*
***
*Setting: Ella cracked her neck as she psyched herself up. Accidently split from Quade she was now on her own with only two options. Proceed with the objective or attempt to reconvene with her assigned partner. Shaking her arms off to loosen the muscles she gently began to jog forwards, looking around and being ever-more aware. Reaching into her holster which was situated on the back of her black shorts she gently pulled out an Uzi. She did a quick scan of the immediate area and then took off, her feet making gently patting sounds as she progressed towards the main area of the crashsite.*
***
*Setting: A triumphant laugh escaped the telekentic Mudokon, Marl, as he gently rose a group of five surrounding Sligs off of the ground and into the air. Simutaneously stopping the bullets they fired upon him in mid air, inches from his, and Asandé's, bodies.*
Marl: "You see, they're nothing without the laws of Physics to guide them...NOTHING!!"
His face distorted into a snarl as he said these words, the Sligs continued to struggle, but doing so helped them little. For the bullets that they had fired were all begining to gently turn and once they had turned a full 180 degrees they flew back at their once firers, slicing into their skin and intentionally piercing any vital organs. As soon as the bullets had done this mere kill-job their bodies were dropped to the ground, allowing Marl to marvel in his accomplishment.
Asandé: "B-But...they were only doing their job. Right?"
Grunting the male Mudokon turned to his smaller, younger counterpart and frowned.
Marl: "And so are we...kill or be killed...you better learn that motto fast, my dear."
***
*Setting: Panting breathlessly, Kei sped towards a part of the forest that seemed to be covered in a large whiteish, tent like cover. Her objective was simple enough, to get paperwork and documentation of what the Vykkers were creating and what they were testing their products on. Nearing the tent she realised that a light seemed to be emitting from the inside and sillouettes of creatures inside were moving in a precarious fashion. As one got larger, she realised it was heading towards the edge of the tent and within a reflex Kei had dove into the shadows, peeking out to see what was happening. She watched as a small hand came from the bottom of the white material and lifted it up, an Industrialised Mudokon slowly stepped out, equipped with a small minigun. It looked around the area and sniffed the air, stepping forwards gently. Upon watching Kei also witnessed the beings death, she had believed that her and the other Agents were in this alone, all of this was proven incorrect however as two Shadowcrawlers seemed to drop from the sky, behind the Mudokon, place their hand over the guards mouth and then scewer him countless times with their weapons. Stepping back in the shadows she realised that she had to tell the others of what was going on, but as she thought of this she was met with the yellow eyes of another 'crawler...and then blackness decended.*
***
*Setting: Quade shot at every Slig he could see as he ran across the scorched earth towards a small, red van. Silian backed him up, although he didn't get to kill anything he still felt involved...*
Silian: "You think the other Agents are ok...?"
He shouted over the gunshots, hoping Quade would hear.
Quade: "Yeh, they should be. They've been trained well enough..."
He turned seconds before hitting the van with his back, denting the paintwork. The moon was directly above them now and thus allowing all attackers to see them as if it was daylight...
Quade: "Get in the van, we need to check as many as we can before dawn...!!"
Nodding Silian ran towards the passenger side and tried the door, it was locked. Quade meanwhile had leapt up on the roof and was making his way to the drivers side, hoping it would be open...
***
*Setting: Kai watched in shock, from a raised part of the downed craft, as he witnessed a mass of Shadowcrawlers swarming towards the main site of the crash. He had only just managed to get passed the Industrial Mudokons and Bountiees with his trainee, but the 'crawlers were making their way through them as fast as a horde of Locusts. He witnessed one in particular, a female, slashing with a somewhat expression of glee. She span around holding two, long Katanas and cut through as many opposers as she could, any who were too far away for a melee attack and fired upon her would then be dispatched another way as she seemingly danced, raising the weapons infront of her body and thus reflecting the bullets back at the attackers. Kai knew he and the trainee were going to have a tough battle if the Shadowcrawlers attempted to seal off the area they were currently residing in, and thus hurried the Saurian along to find the items they were looking for...*
***
*Setting: With a sigh of relief Ella noticed three red vans in her eyeline. All unguarded. They were situated in a row, side by side, with their backdoors towards the Changling and thus making it easier for her to break in. As she moved in and prepared to break the locks her attention was caught by a being seemingly climbing on the roof, steadying to a halt she attempted to face off with a Slig or a Mudokon but was surprised to find it was a Shadowcrawler. With a puzzled expression on her face she gently rose the gun, only for it to be knocked out of her hand by another 'crawler. She turned her head to the 'crawler who had knocked it from her grasp, and snarled. Getting in a fight stance, she prepared to face off with it. But the battle was over before it had began, as she confronted the creature on the ground another one came from behind and with a swift kick to the back of her head, knocked her unconcious...*
***
*Setting: Rummaging through the back of the small van, Silian and Quade quickly found the items they were looking for. Small discs that had recorded the happenings minutes before the Airship had made contact with the ground. Holding five discs in his hand he speedily shoved them in his jacket pocket. Looking outside Silian made sure no other being was approaching, his pupils dilated as he made a quick scan of the area he could see, before grabbing a handful of small discs and placing them in his trouser pockets.*
Silian: "Will that be enough...?"
He looked at Quade expectantly.
Quade: "No, but there's too many for us to get back to base. We're gonna have to send a retrival team back here aswell..."
Quickly Quade made his way out of the van, ushering his trainee out aswell.
Silian: "Now what??"
Quade: "Now we get back to the rendez vous point..."
Upon saying this a large thud came from behind him, as if a creature had landed on the roof of the van. Spinning around the Saurian looked up to see what it was, only to be knocked to the ground as the creature kicked him in the face. He landed on his rear and looked up, seeing the outline of a Shadowcrawler, who then leapt forward and landed feet first on his stomach. Winding the Assassin. Silian meanwhile pointed the gun and blasted three shots, all missing the intended target. As he fired the recoil of the gun pushed him back and seemed to send a tingling through his hands. A low snarl came from the being as it turned its attentions to the Sauk and kicked out, hitting him in the stomach and forcing him into the van doors. It then rose its leg up so it was the Sauks head height and swiftly kicked him to the side.
Shadowcrawler: "Take it...quickly."
It pointed down to the Sauk, realising that he was a trainee by his lack of weapon experience. The 'crawler then turned to Quade and smirked, unholstering its Katana and then raising it in the air.
Shadowcrawler: "Dont worry, we'll look after it..."
With both hands on the bottom of the handle and the blade held over Quades mid-section the creature brought the weapon down. The blade stopped inches from Quades skin. Looking at the beings face Quade could tell that it was putting all its weight down upon the blade.
Voice: "You really shouldn't talk so much when your about to kill someone..."
Out of the darkness stepped Marl, closely followed by Asandé. He smirked and seemed to be relaxed and not concentrating on the beings weapon, but he was. For years of intense training and practice had paid off and he was now able to lift immense weights without even blinking an eye. He smirked gently and concentrated on the blade itself, causing it to slowly turn inwards. The pointed blade going towards the attacker. The creature tried to pull the blade back and then tried to let go, but it was useless. The Mudokon had got its next victim and within seconds had caused the Katana to impale the being to the van, the blade cutting through the creatures chest, impaling the Heart and killing it instantly.
***
*Setting: Kai and Andoel ran through the woodland, turning briefly to see if they were being followed. By the time they had completed their objective the mass of Shadowcrawlers had descended upon them, thankfully not alot of them had projectile weapons and thus Kai and the Saurian were able to escape with minor injuries. But now as they ran they knew they were being followed, could seemingly feel it. Jumping over a rotting log the Saurians quickly made their way to a small lake, North to were they where.
*Slchhhh*
Andoel gasped, as he was running something had impaled him, slicing through his skin and muscle and emitting that sickening sound. Kai turned, wondering what the stunned gasp was. He was three metres away from his trainee and yet the creature had still been injured. It was the female 'crawler. She had hid behind a tree and held out her Katana when the Saurian was about to pass. The Katana itself was facing towards Andoel and thus the speed of him running and the force in which the female manouvered her weapon was a fatal blow, causing the weapon to slice into him easily, exiting out of his back. She smiled, feeling the creatures warm blood run over her hand, since the blade had gone in so deep that the handle was the only thing stopping it from going in further. Andoel looked at Kai sorrowfully, blood burbling out of his mouth. The trained Assassin stared at the female, his eyes burning with anger. Grasping the handle of his holstered gun he quickly pulled it out and fired five shots upon her. Yanking the weapon out of the Saurian, and thus causing him to fall forwards, she professionally reflected the bullets. Moving the blood stained blade infront of her face and torso, sparks flew off the weapon as the metals connected with severe force. Looking into her yellow eyes he realised she was a killer, and even if he did run she would probably get ahead of him somehow like she had just done...*
Kai: "Who are you...?"
The Shadowcrawler chuckled and stepped forwards, Kai had stopped firing now, even though he had three bullets left.
Lilias: "Me? I'm nobody..."
Saying this she span around clockwise and upon facing her opposer again, slashed outwards. Cutting into his stomach and causing him to utter a shocked response. She then reached up and grabbed the bottom of his gun-wielding hand and twisted it around to the left, so that he would be forced bend to the left so his arm or wrist wouldn't snap. She then straightened her back and looked down upon him, smirking. She gently raised the Katana, the blade hovering just under his coller bone. And with a quick lunge she had shoved a quater of the blade into him...his eyes welled up with tears as she slowly drew it out of him, savouring the sound of the skin being sliced. And as another one of her many victims fell...she leapt into the branches above her and made her way back towards the site...
