(OOC: 301! Ha! *sticks out tongue*)
Yes so damn close and that's always the right time for the bad guy to screw everything around. TCM quickly checked her Ammo. She still had enough yet she decided to keep as much as possible of it. She unsheathed her Katana.
"Might as well give you your first Fight, ne?" She said to herself and caressed the shiny Blade with a gloved finger. Then she positioned herself into Fighting mode and listened carefully.
"I so hate Woods...." She grumbled. There was little visibility and the noises could come from everywhere. Suddenly a monster jumped out right next to her. TCM slightly ducked and just when the monster was over her, she jumped up, lifting her Katana so that it would slice the monster in half. She succeeded and found herself covered in some sort of green goo.
"Eeew!!" TCM exclaimed with disgusted face as she shook it off of her and then swung her Katana hard in the air to take the green stuff off of it too.
"I'm so going to take a bath!" She said as she looked at her hair getting stiff. She heard Le' Chuck chuckle again and she realized she was the only one who had been attacked.
"Where is the rest?" TCM asked wondering why only one monster had arrived. Suddenly the forest seemed to get alive. Out of every corner a monster appeared. They were quickly surrounded by a frightening horde of Beasts.
"Why did you ask?" Phoenix said to her. TCM just swallowed hard. Well at least things can't get any worse. And just then the Floor started to rumble. I swear I'll never think again! She promised to herself and prepared for the Boss.
(OOC: I'm in a good mood so please bare my jokes. And I'm almost done with drawing my character. Oh joy!)

"Why did you ask?" Phoenix grumbled as more monsters began pouring out of the woods. There were quite a few, but not nearly as many as the hordes that had attacked them only a while ago. Strange...
...and there was no time to think about anything else as the beasts and demons began to close the distance. Phoenix lifted his assault rifle to his shoulder and began to fire, draining the thirty round clip in seconds and killing a few creatures. On his left and right, MadKatt pulled out his beam sabre, and TCM fired her gun while waiting with the Katana ready for some close-quarters combat. KoN and Le'Chuck were behind him, doing something he couldn't see.
Phoenix reloaded his gun as quickly as he could, and fired again, this time using short, controlled bursts to conserve ammo and destroy a greater number of creatures. When finally the beasts closed to within ten feet, Phoenix shouldered his rifle and pulled out his sword, ready to slice and dice these creatures into julienne fries.
Geez, you think Damien would have learned that he can't kill us with these small swarms.
There was a sudden roar from the forest, much louder than anything he had ever heard before, and out stepped a creature that stood at least ten meters tall (average human height is less than two). It was humanoid, standing on two feet, but the arms were covered in every type of weaponry imaginable, from mini-guns to rocket launchers. The creatures eyes were dark, with a glint of red that looked like cross-hairs, even from this far away. Metal plates, like armor, covered the exposed parts of the body, ensuring that any attacker would be hard-pressed to injure this thing.
"Hahaha!" they all suddenly heard. Damien. Looks like he's learned a few things, Phoenix thought.
"Say hello to your new playmate!" the insane maniac declared. "Have fun now! Don't let my Nightmare destroy you too badly!" And the voice disappeared, laughing all the while.
Bullets started ripping up the ground around the five stalwart warriors, and Phoenix knew that they were in very deep trouble.

<As the monsters started pouring out of the forest, KoN drew his blade and wispered to it "Nice to have you back...". He then started to slash and slice the surronding monsters, like a hot knife through butter.>
KoN: "Hmm...Guess I have fully adapted to my body again..."
<Just then the forest started to rumble. KoN turned around and saw the Nightmare.>
Voice of Damien: "Hahaha! Say hello to your new playmate! Have fun now! Don't let my Nightmare destroy you too badly!"
<As the bullets started lacerating the ground, KoN dove behind a tree. He could feel the bullets smash into the tree, getting closer and closer to his body. KoN crouched and started thinking.>
KoN: [to the others while hiding] "It seems to better and better each time...Any plans?"

"What in the Name of the Gods is that?" TCM said and looked up. The Boss had a rather stupid look on its face, yet that really didn't seem to stop him from killing all of them. He started to fire around the whole place, killing a few monsters as he did so. Something TCM was quite thankful for, since she used them as a shield to get behind a tree. The others seemed to have done the same thing.
"It seems to get better and better each time... Any plans?" She heard KoN ask to the rest of the group as Bullet rained over them again. TCM quickly reloaded her guns and sheathed the Katana. It was to dangerous to attack him with such a short range weapon. Better to save that for really ugly emergencies.
"Well attacking would be nice." TCM yelled over the Gunfire. MK and Phoenix were firing randomly at the monster and changing positions every once in a while.
"We could really use your red-glowing-berserk-thing attack Phoenix." TCM shouted and Phoenix appeared next to her dodging another attack.
"I can't quite control that yet. It slips out of hand and then only God knows what I'm doing." Phoenix said and both he and TCM fired at the Boss as they shifted positions again. This time TCM landed near KoN.
"How about Le' Chuck and I cover you while you are in that Berserk mode of yours. We can fire from opposite sides of the path and MK and KoN could help you with the near combat thing. Kind of Bodyguarding you." TCM shouted so that everyone would hear her. Then the tree behind which they were hiding, got blasted away. She quickly ran towards the other side of the Forest firing her Shotgun almost blindly. She repositioned herself behind a tree and reloaded.
"Well?" She asked again as a rapid Fire came upon her.

<KoN quickly run behind some monsters, heading to another tree. The monsters get shot to pieces and KoN reaches the tree, only to feel it starting to be shot to pieces.>
KoN: [to others] "I'm in for it...but we better hurry before we don't have any cover left..." [muttering to self] "I really need a gun..."

"How about Le' Chuck and I cover you while you are in that berserk mode of yours. We can fire from opposite sides of the path and MK and KoN could help you with the near combat thing. Kind of bodyguarding you." TCM shouted. Phoenix only barely heard her over the hail of bullets pounding the trees, mulching them almost instantly.
Phoenix debated quickly with himself. Use power, kill monster, possibly destroy something else. Don't use power, monster destroys everything anyway, game over. I hate these choices.
"Well?" TCM shouted as the group continued to fire on the Nightmare. Phoenix reloaded his assault rifle quickly and fired on the beast again as he moved to hide behind a slightly damaged tree.
"I'm for it, but we better hurry before we don't have any cover left..." KoN shouted as the beast bombarded his tree.
"I can try," he shouted back. He took cover behind his tree as his shout drew a particularly devastating firestorm from the Nightmare. MK, TCM and Le'Chuck shot the Nightmare repeatedly, drawing its attention away from Phoenix, for which he was grateful.
He concentrated his energy, trying to force his transformation, and it worked...to a degree. The red aura surrounded his upper right arm, and he felt his rage begin to rise, but then it...stopped. He couldn't push it any farther. It was like there was a block on it that prevented his from fully accessing his ability. He looked at his allies, ready to apologize and suggest another, more than likely less effective method for dealing with the Nightmare.
Just then, TCM was hit.
It was actually only a minor wound, but Phoenix couldn't see that from where he was. All he say was TCM take a bullet and fall to the ground.
That was more than enough. His rage went up faster than a bullet, and the red aura surrounded him completely. His strength increased beyond anything he had known, and he almost lost control.
Almost.
Somehow, for some reason he didn't understand, he managed to stay in control this time. The rage was still there, and emotion still drove him to try to accomplish seemingly suicidal acts, but he could keep it in check this time. How, he didn't know or care.
It was time to attack.
(OOC: Sorry about getting you shot, TCM. If you don't want to get shot, just change it to someone else for your next post. But someone has to get shot, otherwise this won't have any continuity. So, whatever.)

MK's mouth hung open when the Nightmare thing came out. "Oh boy..." he said to himself. Metal/flesh Bosses were the worst. Especially ones that had projectiles. And armor. The armor looked thick, but one shot of the Dragon Pistol should take care of the thing. MK pulled it out from his back holster, but the Nightmare saw it. It's red crosshair eyes seemed to focus on it, as if it knew what it was. And maybe it did. It let out a freaky screech and the other, more minor Demons rushed MK.
He was hit square in the chest as a rather large Demon rammed him with its head. MK flew back a few feet, temporarily ignoring the pain he felt, but knew he was going to be doubling over from it later. He got out of the way, but was able to see one of the Demons pick up the Dragon Pistol and eat it.
"*** dammit!" MK shouted. Possibly their only chance at defeating that thing and it gets ingested. He pulled out his shotgun and began firing at every Demon he saw, and taking a few shots at Nightmare. Phoenix was on his opposite side doing the same.
"We could really use your red-glowing-berserk-thing attack Phoenix." TCM shouted over the gunfire.
"Hey, that would be helpful," MK said.
"I can't quite control that yet. It slips out of hand and then only God knows what I'm doing." Phoenix replied.
Dammit all...
Then, TCM explained her plan of attack. "Sounds good to me!" MK shouted as the Boss let loose of a few of the mini-rockets. They whizzed by and exploded somewhere in the background, Le'Chuck able to deflect them with some magic maneuver.
"Well, we better do something," he heard Intelligence say.
Just then, TCM was shot.
"NO!" MK shouted, TCM already falling to the ground. NO MORE ****ING DEATHS! His mind went into a rage. He ran as quickly as he could to her position, helping her up before another hail of bullets flew past.
"Thanks," she said when they were safe behind a rock. "But I'm fine." MK saw that the bullet had only glanced her side, nothing serious. He breathed a sigh of relief. But apparently Phoenix hadn't. He was in berserk mode again and he was seriously looking to kick some ass.

Phoenix stepped out from behind his tree, ready to kill, and received a barrage of bullets in his direction for his trouble. Strangely, however, most of the bullets seemed to miss. Perhaps the Nightmare's aim wasn't all that great? Who knew?
Even though 99% of the bullets missed, a few still grazed Phoenix, drawing blood but causing no serious damage, until one hit him right in the shoulder.
He took the bullet with a considerable amount of pain, yet, the pain seemed distant, as if it was happening to someone else, not him. It hurt, but not as much as a bullet should. Odd.
He turned to his allies, and waved at them to attack as he pulled his sword off his back and charged. The others followed TCM's hastily formed plan. MadKatt and KoN charged with him, staying mostly out of the way of the bullets, while Le'Chuck and TCM attacked from a distance. The Nightmare, judging the shooters to be a more serious problem than the chargers, unleashed barrages at them first. The thing changed its mind when Phoenix, MadKatt, and KoN hit it all at once.
The armor barely dented under MK and KoN's hit, and, realizing the futility of attack the beast instantly, turned to protect Phoenix from the smaller demons. Phoenix's hit, on the other hand, caused the armor to collapse in, then break off. The Nightmare tried to fire at the three dangerous warriors, but it was then that a design flaw became evident. For whatever reason, the Boss demon could not aim its weapons at the ground. The three allies were safe from bullets.
But not feet. The Nightmare began trying to step on them. Thankfully, though, it was slow, and they were able to maneuver around the clumsy stomps. Phoenix continued to pound at the beast, crushing the spot he had exposed again and again with his weapon, drawing a thick, viscous fluid, but apparently not harming the thing.
Then, the unthinkable happened. Phoenix's titanium sword shattered against the Nightmare's hard skin.
Left suddenly weaponless, with nothing to channel his rage into, Phoenix's berserk aura faded quickly, until it was gone, and suddenly, he was more than vulnerable. The pain from the bullet he had taken exerted itself full force, and he screamed. At the same time, he felt most of his energy leaving him, and unconsciousness began to pull at his mind, forcing him to his knees.
This was bad. Very bad.
(OOC: Just so you know, Phoenix's berserk rage has been dissipated with the loss of his sword. While he can get the red aura thing going again, he won't be able to this battle. We need to find another way to kill this thing. Also, on an unrelated note, anyone want to draw my character? My skills are literary, not visual.)

(OOC: That's alright I don't mind, as long as you don't get me killed (unless you have an Idea of how to bring me back ^_-))
TCM looked at her wound. The wound wasn't deep yet the bullet was big and the burn area had extended to almost all of her left side. The pain was still rather numb around it but she knew it was going to hurt as hell as soon as her nerves realized that she almost lost half of her ribcage. MK had helped her out of the Fire and positioned her behind a rock from where she was firing. Le' Chuck headed to the other side to attack him from a different angle. She smiled relieved as she saw that Phoenix was doing fine. He seemed to be in control of the situation, even though he had received a bullet in his shoulder.
"Wonder why he doesn't feel the pain..." TCM thought to herself and then Suddenly his Sword shattered and she saw Phoenix loosing his boost. He suddenly cried out and fell down to his knees.
"****" TCM said to herself and yelled towards Le' Chuck.
"Cover me!" She said and jumped out of her safe spot. She shot her Shotgun with her left hand while covering her wound with her right. She reached Phoenix and helped him up.
"Come on help me out a bit..." TCM grumbled under her breath as she took Phoenix's arm over her shoulders and lifted him. He looked back at her. His face filled with pain, yet he made an effort to keep himself up. TCM felt another Bullet fly by incredibly close to her leg. If it hit her or not she would find out later. Right now she had to bring Phoenix back in cover.
"Man.... Phoenix.... are you alright?" TCM asked panting after she collapsed behind the Rock. Phoenix also rested partially still on her shoulder and against the rock. Her own injury was hurting as hell but she could live with it.
"I'll.... be fine...." Phoenix brought out with difficulty. TCM quickly looked where he was hurt. There was a Bullet rammed into his shoulder and a lot of scratches and burns. So Bullets did get by him. TCM then reloaded to keep her firing position and decided to find out what went wrong.
"What happened?" She needed to keep Phoenix awake. If he passed out it was going to get to dangerous for him. Keep him conscious.....
(OOC: Argh! I had to rewrite my post three times 'cause you posted so fast. Oh well, turned out to be better this way.

*Intelligence summons up knives and sends them flying in all directions at demons that got near Phoenix... while at the same time focusing on keeping the bullets from hitting MadKatt and KoN...*
Intelligence: Looks like I'll have to take that bullet out too... My god... my mind hurts... and this is a delicate procedure...
*Intelligence kept a heal spell on the area around the bullet and slowly and carefully telekinetically pulled out the bullet... the bullet finally came out... and Intelligence looked rather worn out... in the next instant both Strength and Agility looked worn out and Intelligence looked better...*
Intelligence: They are putting everything into my abilities... but I'm afraid it's tiring them out... But it's paying off... You guys aren't getting killed while fighting that Nightmare...
Agility: Just keep those knives... attacking all those demons... We'll stay safe... that way...
*Strength simply nodded his head in agreement...*
Intelligence: Let's see how much more of this I can take...

"I..." Phoenix mumbled as TCM fired on the Nightmare with her shotgun, "don't...know..."
Staying awake was becoming more and more difficult as the moments passed. The desire to sleep was getting harder to resist. He wasn't sure he could do it much longer. He closed his eyes.
Just for a moment. Just...for...a...
A slap across the face brought him out of his dreary state, and he looked up to see TCM, still there.
"Don't you pass out on me," she said, "You need to stay awake. Come on!"
"R-right," he replied. The need to sleep was gone. Totally vanished. Odd, but not important. He grabbed his assault rifle off his back.
And that's when he remembered the bullet in his shoulder, mainly because it started to hurt like hell when he moved it. He yelled out in pain, and TCM turned to him.
"No, I'm alright. Keep shooting!" he shouted. She hesitated, then turned back to the Nightmare. Phoenix grimaced in pain as he pulled out a medkit that he had picked up oh so long ago, and took the painkillers and bandages out of it. The pain became worse before it became better as he use the painkillers, then bandaged his shoulder as best he could.
Before long, he was able to move his arm without too much pain, and he joined TCM, firing his assault rifle at the Nightmare, yet causing little damage.
If we don't figure something out, we're all dead. How do we kill this thing?

(OOC: Sorry for slapping you ^_^)
TCM noticed that it took Phoenix a great deal to just fire his gun.
"Don't strain your shoulder to much. It's going to be harder to fix afterwards." TCM said as she fired her Shotgun again and closed her eyes as pain came over her own wound.
"The same goes to you." Phoenix answered as he noticed her pain. TCM hadn't had any time to bandage herself and the wound was open to wind, dust and gunpowder. Infected as hell. Yet she had more important things to think about. Like how they were going to destroy that beast.
"Have no time to fix me up." TCM groaned as she fired again and the kickback made her almost loose her balance. She started to think about how to defeat such beast suddenly something started to build up in her head.
"That thing can't fire at you when you are close, right?" TCM asked excitedly and even forgot to take cover.
"Yeah so?" Phoenix said as he pulled her down in order to avoid getting her head shot off.
"What if we keep that beast busy easy enough for someone to go near it and climb up." TCM continued and started to make calculations in her head. Trying to picture the whole situation.
"Climb up?!?!" Phoenix exclaimed shocked. It was a crazy thought she had to admit.
"Yeah! If he has so much armor on then it's because he is vulnerable beneath. If he is so tall, he is weak at the head. If someone climbs up and injures the head..." TCM was cut off.
"And who is going to climb up there?"
"Well.... I am." TCM said as if it were the most logical thing to do.
"Have you gone insane?!?" Phoenix exclaimed exalted and even stopped shooting.
"Well do you have a better Idea?" TCM asked defiantly. Yes it was quite dangerous but then again did they have a choice?

As much as he hated to admit it, no, Phoenix didn't have a better idea. But he still didn't want TCM going in harm's way. Not in her condition.
"I'll be fine as long as you keep it distracted," she said, seeing the worried expression on his face. They both ducked and cringed as a mini-rocket hit the ground on the other side of their rock.
"You're totally nuts," Phoenix replied as he reloaded his rifle for the sixth time. A quick pull on the bolt...loaded. "But, I can't think of anything else. Just be careful, dammit! I don't want to lose you because I let you go alone. Gimme your shotgun. You won't be needing it that close up." TCM handed over her shotgun and her ammunition for it, then drew her Katana.
"Be careful," Phoenix said to her as she prepared to go.
"Double for you," she replied, and ran towards the Nightmare.
Phoenix counted to two, then leaped out from behind the rock and started pumping high-caliber rifle bullets into the unarmored area he had created during his berserker rage.
"Hey, Trigger-Happy! Come and get it!"

"Is she crazy?!" MadKatt shouted to nobody in particular. Bullets zipped by and he could see TCM running out towards the Nightmare thing. MK ducked as a rocket flew past. The thing has like a bajillion weapons and she's going to charge it alone?!
But MK remembered that it can't fire at close range. That was a good thing, but getting there was the hard part. He helped cover her by shooting at a few Demons that got in range, but she handled herself pretty well too with that Katana she had.
I certainly hope you have a plan TCM...

What on Earth am I doing? You are running into your death you know? Then again I'm only speeding up the inevitable. Argh!! Stop thinking like that!!! All of the guys are counting on you. You fail and then they are all screwed. TCM kept saying to herself. Everyone was giving all they had. Including Phoenix with half of his shoulder shot off and lurking the Beasts attention so that she could climb up on him. She arrived at Nightmare and only a few steps away she could see MK.
"Don't get yourself killed kid." He yelled and dodged one gigantic foot. TCM nodded and in one smooth movement she sliced one Toe of the beast. It didn't went through all the way, but it managed to accomplish her goal: distract him from his other leg. As she leaped towards the foot, she sheathed her Katana and prepared to climb. Finally her Tree-climbing had been worth for something.
"Am I glad you are hairy..." TCM muttered to herself as she climbed up. Each hair was a thick as a liana to her and she quickly reached the monsters waist. Her side was killing her but she had to get through with this. She slowly turned to climb up from his back. He would have noticed her if she went front side and if he did so, Nightmare was sure going to shake around to get rid of her. And damn was she high up.
"This is going to be some story for my grandchildren..." TCM muttered to herself. She almost lost her grip twice as the Beast launched another rocket, the kickback on his arm had an remarkable effect on his back muscles. After a while she reached his shoulder. And now she was facing a problem she hadn't thought of. How was she going to cut his head of, if her Katana was the size of a toothpick compared to him.
"Great, so your plan wasn't only dangerous, it's stupid too!" She sat down frustrated. All she could do was to hold on tight to his hairs in order not to fly off of him. How was she going to finish that beast off? Then she noticed something move under the skin of the Beasts neck.
"What's this?" TCM wondered aloud as she walked closer to the Beast who still hadn't noticed her. She rested her hand on it. A steady pulse was racing through it. TCM took off her hand surprised.
"May I be damned if this isn't his vein!!" TCM shouted. It was the only thing she could do. Without thinking it over she took out her Katana and made a horizontal cut all the way through the vein, as deep and wide as she could. The monster shouted out in pain and threw his head back. TCM climbed up the monsters face as it lifted his mechanical arms dangerously close to her location. Up there she stabbed the Beast into his left Eye and with her handgun she fired six bullets into his right eye at the same time. The Beast went completely Berserk. It turned and shook and scratched and shot randomly everywhere! TCM was caught up in Nightmares hair. She still was trying to get a good grip when the Beast suddenly fell on its knees.
"Oh ****!!!" TCM yelled as she flew out of Nightmares hair. Since the Beast was on his knees (MK had told the rest to focus on his legs in order to bring him down now that he was blind) TCM was halfway up. Just high enough to crash into a treetop and instinctively hold on to it. There she decided not move even if the world would end. She heard MK shout something but everything seemed so distant. Her side was hurting as hel,l she moved a hand towards it. It returned dripping with blood. She thought something which she couldn't remember. She leaned unconscious against a tree, high up.

"No!" Phoenix yelled as he saw TCM fly through the air towards a tree. All thoughts of the Nightmare, which lay dying nearby, vanished instantly, and he ran towards the tree in which his ally had landed. She wasn't moving when he got there, and that only spurred him on even more.
The painkillers chose that moment to lose most of their effectiveness, and his shoulder began screaming from the abuse he was giving it, but he totally ignored it, even began to wonder why his arm wasn't responding correctly. But it didn't matter. Within seconds, he was climbing the tree, pulling himself up carefully, yet quickly, and each branch bent under his weight. As he got closer to the top, some of the branches began to snap off, but he just leaped to other, slightly more sturdy branches, refusing to give up as he got closer and closer to TCM.
When he got there, he immediately noticed the bad shape she was in, and began to wonder if he should move her at all. Then, the branch they were both on cracked, and he found that he had no choice. He grabbed her and put her over his shoulder, ignoring the pain and the blood as best he could, and prepared to move to a thicker branch.
But he never made it.
The branch snapped, and the two of them fell through the tree, breaking branches painfully. Fortunately, Phoenix managed to shield TCM from the fall, and when they hit the ground, he hit first, protecting her.
He struggled to get up even then, but his body screamed in protest, and he cried out a reply before falling unconscious.

OOC: Feh... Why do you people think healing spells work automatically anyways? They can work over time too if the injury's are to severe or the spell was cast differently then usual...

TCM moaned. She felt warm inside. As if something was streaming through her blood. It hurt too. Odd. She opened her eyes. At first se didn't know what had happened. The last thing she remembered was being smashed against a tree. Now she had to floor close by... and someone underneath her. She blinked surprise. Phoenix was underneath her, his arms curled around her protectively, his face showing anguish.
"Phoenix...." TCM whispered and tears started to come into her eyes. She quickly lifted herself off of him and kneeled by his side. She could feel her side hurt badly but she wasn't bleeding. She lifted Phoenix so that he would partially rest on her lap.
"Come on Phoenix.... don't give up on me...." She whimpered. She couldn't have someone else die. Much less in her arms. TCM quickly looked around. MK and KoN were finishing the Beast of, although she couldn't see all of it. Le' Chuck also laid unconscious. She focused again on Phoenix.
"P-Please Phoenix..." TCM whispered and then let herself cry. Because of her stupidity she had hurt Phoenix. Because of her lack of ability. She couldn't stop cursing herself enough for it.
"Forgive me... Phoenix... I'm so sorry...." TCM cried, emotionally drained.

"Don't get yourself killed kid!" MK yelled to TCM. He looked up and saw a foot come down and dodged it, quite easily too. She began climbing and MK kept covering her and himself. A few Demons tried to knock her off but he and the others were able to get them in time.
Hurry TCM, we don't have much time... He silently prayed. Turning this way and that, dodging enemy fire and Demons, while simultaneously hacking and blasting at them was a very tiring task for all of them, especially since they had been travelling the whole way here. Be glad the station is so close. We can rest there when we defeat this thing. And they were determined to defeat it.
We need to bring this giant down... MK thought to himself. "Aim for its legs!" He shouted to everyone. Not everyone heard them, but luckily Le'Chuck was able to send them a telepathic message. He also blew the closer Demons away with some kind of kinetic wave, while killing the really close ones. One of them exploded and MK saw his Dragon Pistol fly to the ground next to him. Thank you Le'Chuck... He picked it up and might have fired if TCM wasn't there, but right now he had to focus on its legs. He ran towards its right leg, KoN next to him and together they glided their Blades through it. The others continued blasting at the left one. The thing grew wobbly, and started to fall. He looked up to see that TCM must have cut its jugular because so much blood was spraying out.
"CLEAR OUT!" He yelled to the others as the thing fell to its knees. It barely missed him and he saw TCM fly off and land in a tree. "****! TCM!" He yelled after her, but she already seemed fall out of consciousness.
"No!" He heard Phoenix shout. He was the closest one, but probably in the worst shape too. "Are you crazy Phoenix! You're gonna get yourself hurt again if not killed." MK shouted up after him. But he either didn't hear or didn't care. One had to admire his devotion and will, but the guy went completely nuts when a friend was hurt. Suddenly, they both fell to the ground. MadKatt rushed to their side, but he wouldn't have been able to catch them even if he got there in time. They were both unconscious now. "Dammit..."
TCM got up a little after. She started crying over Phoenix's battered body. "Forgive me... Phoenix... I'm so sorry...." she said.
"It's not your fault TCM." MK tried to comfort her, but to not much avail. "C'mon, we better get him some medical attention."
"I got him." With incredible strength Le'Chuck picked Phoenix up, even though he was probably tired from all his magic use. "Let's head for the Station," he said, gesturing with one of his heads to the building not so far away. "We'll patch him up there."
Please be all right... MK said another silent prayer for their fallen comrade.

(OOC: Sorry, MadKatt, but, for me at least, it's a case of nothing better to do. And I figured out how to post something!)
Phoenix, for lack of a better term, floated.
He had no idea what was going on. The last thing he remembered was hitting the ground, and then darkness, and then here. It was as if he was swimming in air, and it was extremely disorienting.
Slowly, his vision cleared, and his senses began to re-assert themselves. It was then that he noticed there was a heavy weight all over his body, localized mostly around his arms and legs. There was no pain, which was odd, considering what had happened to him before he had fallen unconscious.
Now, he was able to see that his arms and legs were encased in some sort of machinery, with wires coming out of them. He also discovered that he was wearing a helmet that was hurting his head slightly. He tried to pull it off, but his hands wouldn't move that far.
And then he saw something that made his blood go cold. His allies, MadKatt, TCM, KoN, and even Man5iac, all in large canisters of some sort of greenish liquid, all wearing the same machinery he was, all seemingly unharmed and oblivious to their surroundings. Were they dead or...No. They were moving. They were still alive. Suddenly, Phoenix knew where he was.
This was the real world. He was out of that VR hell.
He looked around quickly, and picked out someone very familiar working at a large console. Phoenix's blood began to boil.
"DAMIEN!" he shouted, and the figure turned towards him in surprise. Phoenix went totally nuts, thrashing against his bonds, trying to punch his way out of his glass tube. Damien walked over to the tube, calm as could be, and smiled.
Smiled.
"Heh. I don't know how you got out of there, boy," the psycho said, "but don't worry. You'll be joining your friends again soon enough." He turned and walked back to his console.
Phoenix's anger was reaching astounding heights, and just then, he stretched the cables on his machine-encased hands and connected with the glass of the canister. It cracked, a spider's web of lines that signalled his chance at escape, but then a horrible pain hit his head, and everything went black again.
He was going back to Hell. And this time, it could very well be a one way trip.

(OOC: OMG! *jaw drops* That I didn't see coming!)
MK picked the disorientated TCM up and helped her to walk. She was very quick because of the blood lost and mainly because of what had happened to Phoenix. Le' Chuck kept a quick pace. He knew that every second could either mean life or death for him.
"Don't worry you'll be alright soon..." MK said softly to TCM. She had stopped crying yet the sad expression remained on her face.
"It was my fault..... it's all my fault... if he dies...." TCM whispered and tears came to her eyes again. How could she have done such stupid thing! One thing was endangering herself but taking someone down with her.... that was something quite different, something she would never forgive herself for. TCM had figured out what had happened. Phoenix had surely climbed up to take her down, to save her. The branch must have had given in under their weight and he, shielding her, must have had crashed forehand. She above.....
"It wasn't your fault... you had no choice...." MK said reassuring. She knew that, she knew there was no choice. There was no time to think it over. But still she had given the Idea. She had said what to do and she had made Phoenix worry about her.... and she promised everything would turn out alright.
"I told him to be careful..... he was hurt...." TCM kept saying to herself. MK didn't reply. There were no words that would help her out now. He secretly also prayed for Phoenix.
"We are here." Le' Chuck yelled over his shoulder. TCMs head shot up suddenly. The station represented such a big hope to her. She loosened from MKs helpful grip and hurried after Le' Chuck. Her hand pressed on her left side. The wound was open again. Inside Le' Chuck searched for Medkits as TCM kneeled next to Phoenix's Body. There was no sign of life in him but his pulse. Suddenly Phoenix moaned, his eyebrows drew closer, his lips slightly parted as he was trying to catch his breath. TCM smiled relieved.
"He is coming back... he is alive..." Tears of joy formed in her eyes.
(OOC: I'm feeling emotional today..... it's a girl thing...... it's that time of the month......)

<KoN jumped back as the Nightmare fell. He turned just it time to see TCM slam into the tree. "**** **** ****!!!" KoN thought to himself. KoN started rushing to the tree when he saw Phoenix fall to the ground. "Just got worse..." was the phrase that ran through KoN's mind. KoN slowly walked over to the others and let out a long sigh. KoN thought about what has happened so far as they walked to the next station. It had been a long journey to get to where they were.....it will be a longer journey to get out.>

His senses came back one by one, starting with the sense of touch. The first thing Phoenix felt was pain. Horrible, excruciating pain in his entire body, but more in his left shoulder than anywhere else. He would have screamed, if he'd had the energy. Instead, he tried to bear with it, mostly succeeding, although he didn't know how. He did his best not to move.
Next came smell, mostly through his nose. There was a definite smell of blood in the air, probably his, he realized. He could feel it practically gushing out of his arm, and dripping out of other parts of his body. He wouldn't die any time soon from blood loss, however. Given his size, he had a lot of blood.
Next came taste, and with it, more blood. That didn't surprise him too much. He swallowed a few times to get rid of the taste.
Then came hearing, and it came more slowly than the rest. At first, there were only mumbles, then more detailed sounds, but he still wasn't sure what was being said, or who was saying it. They were speaking too quietly.
Last of all came sight, and, although he knew he could see, he didn't open his eyes. He was content to just lie where he was, resting.
And then, something totally unexpected happened. A "sixth sense" reactivated, one that he had felt before, but one he hadn't even realized he had. It was his berserk rage, his red aura ability. He hadn't felt it since his sword had shattered, but it was back now. And, not only that, but he felt that, unless he was under incredible stress, he would be able to control it almost fully.
Then, he felt something wet hit his face. It stung slightly as it ran to his lips. He tasted the saltiness, and realised someone was crying over him. Did his allies...friends think he was dead?
He opened his eyes.
(OOC: Emotionality is great! That's what makes a good story, and that's essentially what this is!)

(OOC: I'm so depressed now...... I hate "that time of the month" so you better cheer me up. Be nice ^_^)
TCM could feel her heart pound so fast in her throat she thought she was going to die, when he opened his eyes and focused on her.
"I'm so glad you are okay..." TCM whispered and more tears came flooding out of her. All the stress, pain, depression, anger and fear. All of that came out of her. As if she was cleaning herself.
"You made me worry so much!!" TCM whined a before she threw herself around his neck. She was overthrown with emotion. Se didn't care. She just so happy. To happy. We are together now. Everything is going to be fine.... She thought to herself. She heard Phoenix squirm slightly under her. She let go immediately and smiled apologizing.
"I'm sorry." She said and brushed his face clean. He smiled back weakly.
"You apologize to much." He brought out with incredible difficulty. TCM laughed and let Le' Chuck do his work. Which seemed to hurt Phoenix more than heal him. He was in a terrible shape. MK took care of patching TCM up.
"This is going to sting a bit..." MK said and TCM literally jumped away from him as she felt a liquid burn her inside out.
"Owwww! What the hell are you doing?!" TCM yelled and checked her wound. The pain was gone though and it had stopped hurting that much.
"I disinfected it, now hold still." MK said and pulled her back down. He cleaned the wound as good as he could and then bandaged her with the soft linen. The rest of her wounds she took care of herself. MK stood right next to her. TCM found that odd. He suddenly kneeled down and whispered to her.
"Don't get to attached." He said simply. TCM only blushed and stood up quickly. She was glad that nobody notice her blushing.
"I'm going to wash myself." TCM muttered and quickly left. There was a small Lake next to the Station. She kneeled towards it and submerged her whole head into the water.
(OOC: If this is getting too cheesy then just say so and I'll change that.)

MadKatt silently chuckled to himself. The fact that he could make a joke at this time meant he was feeling good. Despite what lay ahead he seemed to be pretty calm. Maybe he was keeping his cool so he wouldn't freak himself out. Maybe he really was worried and didn't want the others to see it. Or maybe he was just plain crazy. It was probably a mix of all three, but in any case, he was just glad to have all surviving team mates alive. Still smiling to himself he picked up some ammo and recharged his other weapons.
His smile was replaced with a look of concern. "How do you feel Phoenix?" He asked the person that still lay on the small cot in the Station.
"I feel like I've died and gone to Hell," He replied weakly.
MK's smile returned. "Just take it easy," he said again and went off to check out the rest of the Station. Rummaging through a few of the chests and lockers there he found a myriad of weapons, though none he could have taken along due to lack of room. It was just as well anyway. He already had a good supply of weapons, so he might as well leave it to the others.
Next, he thought about their situation. The lake is right outside. There should be a massive army of Demons a few miles to the west of here. Past them are a couple of boats, more than enough to take us to the Island where we just wait, I guess. It was a better plan than nothing. Damian would eventually find a way to kill them if they stayed out here long enough and they were never given any instruction on how to finish the game. But on the Island nothing would be able to get to them and maybe help will arrive on the outside. Hopeful MK was, but could they survive the massive Demon army? The golden glint of his Dragon Pistol and the heavy badass weapons in the Station reassured him. MK smiled again. When we get out, we're so gonna kick your ass Damian.
------------------------------------------------------------
Damian's eye was twitching. How one small group of kids could cause so much trouble in his plans he did not know. They've destroyed three of his mightiest creations already and he only had one more left. Well, they won't get past this one. They probably wouldn't even get past the Demon army. And if they had the slightest bit of luck they'd die there rather than see the surprise he had waiting for them on the Island of Light...

MadKatt was smiling, and TCM was trying to get over blushing for some reason. Both were rather strange reactions for people continually on the verge of death, but Phoenix supposed it could've been worse. They could be screaming bloody murder as they went insane and started shooting at things that weren't there...or something.
And Phoenix smiled.
Then he remembered Damien, that bastard smiling. It had been the first real look the Phoenix had gotten of their captor, and now he had a face to mentally rip limb from limb. It was a wonderful thought. Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't happen until they got out of here. He wanted to do it now. It would be so much more satisfying then if he waited.
So much more satisfying.
He felt the need to move, but his body rebelled, and he forced to stay in the cot. The bandages, medications and healing agents were working their magic, but it would take time before he would be able to fight again. Inability, relying on others; these were things that he didn't like at all. He was more used to being the shoulder others leaned on in times of need, not the other way around. It wasn't as...satisfying to him.
He struggled to sit up, waving the others away when they started to come towards him. He checked his bandages and found them soaked in blood. He tried to change them, but again his body refused to follow the commands he issued, and he winced in pain and embarrassment, unable to perform even so basic a task as lifting his arms.
TCM came over to him then and started to help him. As she changed the bandages, he spoke to her.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Thanks to you I am," she replied, and it seemed to him that she was avoiding eye contact.
"That wound looks pretty nasty," he said next, pointing to the bloody bandage on her torso.
"Yeah, well, yours is worse," she commented as she put some of the healing gel on his bullet wound, "How did you manage to shrug this off when you were in your berserk thing?"
"I don't know. Honestly I barely felt it until I lost my aura."
"Do you know how you do that yet?"
"No, but apparently rage, anger, and concern are big factors in getting it to work. I can't seem to activate it otherwise."
"So what activated it that last time? Rage, anger, or concern?"
"I saw you get shot. I was...more than a little angry. I thought you were dead." There was a pause in the conversation then, during which TCM still refused to look at Phoenix. It was broken when she touched his bullet wound a little too hard. He gasped, and she used the time to quickly finish bandaging his shoulder. Before he could say another word, she went to change her own bandages. He lay back down on the cot.
What the hell was that all about?

(OOC: *raises hand* I do! ^__________^)
TCM kneeled down and slowly took of her bandages. How embarrassing...... TCM thought to herself as she checked her wound again. She felt much more better now that she had taken a bath. She didn't smell like Demon anymore. Disgusting. The rest of her wounds were half as bad. Mainly bruises. She had a huge bruise on her Sternum. It didn't really hurt that much but still it covered a big part of her chest. The look of it was rather amusing. White Flesh and in the middle a huge blueish spot. Sort of Blueberry Muffin. She chuckled at that. TCM continued her job. Even though it was a joke, MK was right. I shouldn't get to attached to him. When did this even happen? I'm such a fool. Besides what does he care? I bet that if we get alive out of this, back in the real world each would take their own ways and go on with their life. I'm the only romanticist that actually think we'll stay together after this. I have gotten to close to them.... to him....
"TCM?" She snapped out of her thoughts. MK had returned and as she could see he had found weapons.
"There is plenty of ammo and weapons on the second floor. You should take a look around." He said and pointed towards the stairs outside the room they were standing in. It took a while before she could understand what MK had said. Her mind had been somewhere else. And then she suddenly remembered.
"Damn! My Shotgun was left at the Battlefield!" TCM exclaimed. Even though she could get replacement for it she wanted her Shotgun. She had gotten attached to it. Attached.... She thought as she ran out of the Station.
"Hey wait......" MK shouted and sighed.
"Where'd she go?" He heard Phoenix ask from his cot. MK turned around to see him sit up slowly. He didn't even offer help for he knew that Phoenix would only refuse.
"She went to pick up her Shotgun and god knows what else..." MK muttered with a sigh and prepared to follow her to get her back.
"Let her be. You won't be able to convince her to do otherwise, just let her be. Once she sets her mind upon something she won't stop until she fulfills it." Phoenix said and chuckled softly before he closed his eyes and drifted off into a dreamless sleep. The painkillers always had such effect. The body healed faster if it uses less energy to stay awake, and focuses rather on the injuries. MK sighed. He was right. It was better to let TCM be. Then again she could be attacked. He decided to wait a while before he headed out to get her.

~Meanwhile~
TCM had been running towards the Battlefield. She wanted her Shotgun back. Period. She noticed that the Station was even closer than she initially thought. Probably because she wasn't dragging herself on MKs shoulder to get back. She found the Rock she and Phoenix had been hiding behind off.
"Somewhere around here...." TCM thought aloud and started to look for her gun. She found both her Handgun (she had lost it as she crashed into the tree) and Shotgun. Not far away she found Phoenixs shattered sword. She was about to pick it up when she suddenly heard something. Without thinking it twice she hid behind the nearby trees. It wasn't a pleasant sound and she followed it. Its source came from the upper part of Nightmare that was still lying there. What TCM saw made her stomach turn..... continuously. There were a lot of little Demos actually eating that Beast up. She was about to leave when she heard a voice.
"Leave it alone!" It was followed by a squirm of a probably kicked Demon. TCM slowly lurked out to see who that was. Another gamer? She thought but shook the idea off. She couldn't see quite much, but it seemed as if a man in a white doctor-coat, was bending over it as if trying to take something out of it. He eventually managed to rip it out. It was covered with blood and was about the size of a human baby. It pounded. .......t-the.....heart?......??!! TCM thought and then the man suddenly disappeared after muttering something and laugh evilly. TCM as if driven by a mad force ran blindly back to the station. She knew what she had seen, but was to afraid to believe it. She arrived at the Station, the sun was setting already, and she slammed the door behind her. There she stopped.
"Damien......"

Phoenix woke up as soon as he heard TCM come back to the station. She had a look on her face like she had seen something truly terrible, and the name she uttered was enough to build his rage slightly.
"What about him?" MadKatt asked before anyone else could.
"He...he took the...heart out of the Nightmare."
"What? Why?"
"I don't know."
Phoenix tuned them out as he thought of this latest development. Why take the heart of a dead creature? What worth would it have to anybody? It was just a bloody, glorified paperweight now, wasn't it?
Then again, nothing in this world was as it seemed. Maybe that heart was a power source, or a biological engine or something like that, and Damien was planning on using it to create a more powerful creature. Who knew?
Phoenix shut his eyes again. So much information was coming to him now, and he was having a hard time sorting it out. Did he know something important or didn't he? He had no way of knowing, not in the state he was in.
He drifted off to sleep again, and, thankfully, it was again dreamless.

MK stuck out his tongue in disgust. Why anybody would want a heart was beyond him. Maybe he was using it to build something, make some kind of hybrid monstrosity? MK pushed it out of his mind. He did not want to think about such things at the moment.
"I'm gonna go outside for a sec," He said to the others. He wanted to be alone with his thoughts for a while.
He stepped out of the Station and, despite what happened earlier, climbed a tree. He had always loved climbing things, whether they were mountains or plants, because of the view he could get. But scenery was not the thing he wanted right now, even though the lake and Island were pretty nice. He went up there to do a little recon on the Demons that lay ahead. They weren't hard to spot. From what was like almost normal surroundings there came a living shadow. A dark, writhing sea of Demons lay some miles ahead of them. And in a few more hours, they were going to charge straight into it. They were too far to make out, but MK could see that some of them were quite large. His Dragon Pistol would only take out a fifth of them, and that was if he could get a good shot at them. The other weapons might do good too, especially that railgun that KoN had found. But it looked as though that a lot of the battling would be done in close combat, and you did not want to get close to a Demon.
They all were pretty skilled in some form of close combat, that was true, and a good thing too. But could they defeat an army of supernatural beasts? Dammit Max! Stop thinking like that! They are bigger, stronger, and designed for killing, but you have badass weapons, a group of skilled friends, and lots and lots of anger now.
He stood up on the tree branch. He wasn't sure if the others were out of ear shot or not, but it didn't really matter. He breathed deep and shouted towards the sky, hatred and determination flaring up in his voice.
"DAMIAN! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! WE'RE GONNA BEAT THE **** OUTTA YOUR DAMN ARMY, BREAK OUT OF THIS HELL, AND COME FOR YOU NEXT!!"
(OOC: Whee! This thing gets more interesting everyday!)

<The others tell KoN about Damien and the Nightmare's heart. KoN frowns and thinks.>
KoN: "Hmm...wait, this world is a visual interpation of code right? Well Damien is cutting and pasting....which would simplify the monster creation right? Then we're either going to encouter a huge monster, or a bunch of slightly powerful monsters....hmm...this could be very bad...and not to forget the monster army...hmm..."
<KoN goes back to thinking. He slips a bit out of his body and sees the code, written out. Not knowing what happened he awakens his body with a start, seeming to jump in fright. The others looking at him strangly, he explains.>
KoN: "I think it's because of my change in the code...this could be useful...but of couse it leaves my body vunerable...hmm, things maybe looking up. Oops....Great, now I've probably jinxed us. I guess we'll have to find out..."

Phoenix woke up as MadKatt came back from his recon. His friends were busy checking, loading, and otherwise preparing a great number of weapons, more than they could possibly carry. From simple handguns to the railgun KoN had found, every manner of weapon was scattered throughout the station.
He sat up, only this time there was no pain. His wounds seemed to be healed, if not completely, then mostly. He checked his bandages, found them bloody, and peeled them off, revealing bloody...scar tissue. Even his shoulder felt normal. Apparently, the factors of healing in VR were different from the real world, something for which he was thankful.
He stood up and walked over to the others, who looked at him inquisitively.
"I think I'm alright," he said by way of response to the unspoken question, "When are we moving out?"
"We haven't decided yet," MadKatt said as he picked up yet another gun and checked it over, "We were waiting for you before we made any definite plans."
Phoenix sat on the floor next to TCM, grabbed the nearest weapon, a heavy assault cannon, and began checking it over, making sure it was loaded and in working condition.
"Are you really alright?" TCM asked in a quiet voice. Amidst the sound the others were making, they didn't hear her.
"Not really, but I'm alright enough," he replied.
"Listen, I..." she started, and then stopped, something obviously on the tip of her tongue. Phoenix looked at her for a silent moment before he suddenly realised why she had been avoiding looking at him before, why she had been blushing. And he found his face going slightly red.
"Look, Cookie," he said, cutting off any chance she had to say anything, "I really don't think we can afford to be distracted by...anything. We need to concentrate on getting through this before we can...uh...think about anything else."

(OOC: Argh! You posted too fast! I have to rewrite..... -_____- Oh and my name is Enid Avery ^_^ I made a mistake in the sign-up sheet.)
TCM felt her head was going to explode. She knew she was blushing which made her blush even more. Oh god how embarrassing....... She yelled in thought. She could kick herself for being so stupid. Somehow she remained calmed and only swallowed hard. She brought out a few words with difficulty.
"Sorry. Won't bother you again....." TCM muttered and wanted to stand up. If she stayed she would break out in tears, She could feel it. Damn these are the moments I wish I wasn't a woman.... And why the **** do I want to cry? There is no ******* reason to cry!....... Stupid girl TCM was about to stand up when she felt Phoenix grab her hand and pull her back down.
"You don't bother me." He said firmly and looked into her eyes. She didn't know what to feel or think, the only thing she wanted was to crawl into a corner and die.
"I enjoy your company but right now.... it's not the moment to talk about such things...." Phoenix said and smiled reassuring.
"'kay?" He asked and pressed her hand which still was in his. TCM blinked. She knew that he hadn't realized what he had just done. She smiled back and nodded and then looked down. Phoenix tilted his head curiously and then looked down too. He was still holding her hand. He blushed and let her go instantly. TCM laughed cheerfully. She looked into the wooden box in front of them and took out a sniper-rifle. It was rather useless in their fight but she had never had an opportunity to examine one.
"One more thing." Phoenix said making TCM turn towards him. She grinned. A expression she had never seen on him.
"You apologize to much." He said and laughed. TCM punched him playfully and laughed too. The awkwardness between was gone. She couldn't tell what it was that happened but she felt better. Yet there was still a thought pounding in her head. And if the right time never comes?
(OOC: You know what the worst part of the whole situation is? I feel ashamed in real life........ *blushes*)

Too many complications, Phoenix thought as TCM walked away. Her feelings, his feelings, were things that they couldn't afford right now. They were about to face their most difficult and suicidal challenge yet, and any...feelings between the two of them would only interfere.
But...it wasn't like he could just make it go away. Much as he wanted to, he couldn't. His mind and his heart simply wouldn't let him, and he knew that if ever the time came, his feelings would win out over his reasoning.
How typical, he thought, We're almost out of this mess, and this comes up. Why, why, why now? Why can't my life ever be simple? He knew it wasn't really anybody's fault; these things just happen, and nothing can truly stop them, but even so, he blamed himself for any reason he could think of.
Enough of this.
"Are we all ready?" he asked everyone as he picked up various heavy weapons scattered around, "Because I'm ready to kick serious ass."
And even as he said it, he knew it was a lie.

*Le'Chuck comes out of meditation... Fully recharged and refreshed... He quietly shakes his head and then goes over to the computer... and brings up a map of the world... studies it over... then speaks up...*
Le'Chuck: I am ready and I shall lead the way... From what I can tell the shortest path will lead us into a lot of enemies... the more enemies... the less chance of all of us making it... Plus I have one physical spell which should cause enough confusion for us to take some of them out... After that though... I do believe the term for it is "All hell breaks loose..." Quite ironically too...
*Le'Chuck stands next to the door... Waiting for the other's agreement to this loosely formed plan... also waiting to see if anyone has a better one...*

<KoN nods at Le'Chuck. Then he stops and thinks.>
KoN: "Err...but aren't you forgeting something? Damien can easily make powerful monsters right now. You figured that into your plan?"

MadKatt held up his Dragon Pistol. "I could clear us a path with this baby. But that wouldn't hold them off for long. I figure that once I shoot through them they'll just pile in and fill the void in a few seconds flat. There are too many of them."
MK thought about it some more. He really couldn't think of anything else. All he knew was that they were going to do a lot of running, a lot of fighting, and probably a lot of paddling once they got on the boats. They wouldn't want to stay next to the shoreline, even if Demons couldn't swim.
(OOC: Gah. I have no inspiration today. I don't have any ideas...)
