Writing Fragments

[Enforcer MKV]

LAST UPDATED 7/5/2016

I'M BACK, PEOPLE.

Random bits:
[SPOILER-BOX]A few scenarios I wrote in my head when I was bored. I haven't written in a while, so this is akin to me stretching my muscles, so don't judge it too harshly. That being said, I'm kind of curious as to what everyone thinks. This'll be my first time portraying other characters, and my first time posting it for others to see. I hope you guys like this little bit, I might turn it into a full blown story if the reaction is positive enough. NOTE: These scenarios are not connected to one another story-wise.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stepped into the room, searching for one of my teammates. The individual in question was Farrid Invaal, a (mostly) human female who had a love of guns and maybe a bit too much enthusiasm when it came to throwing herself in harm’s way. Or any reckless situation, for that matter. I heaved a mechanical sigh, my foot making a slight ‘clink’ every time I tapped it against the floor. “Farrid,” I called out, “Faaaaaarrid? Oi, are you home?”

Being met with silence, I shook my head and walked toward the door to the next room, mumbling to myself “probably tinkering with her guns again…” as I stepped through. On the other side of this room stood Farrid, facing away from me, looking over a workbench with several rifles, gunblades, and launchers, all in various forms of assembly. She picked up a grey and yellow gunblade, which I noticed she smiled at as she held it up.

Suddenly, without turning around, she pointed it at me. I quickly looked back and realized there was a target plastered on the door I’d just come through. Looking towards her again, I began, “O-OI, FAR-“ But she fired, forcing me to block the incoming shot with the buckler on my left arm, causing the offending projectile to fly up and hit the ceiling. Finally realizing that she wasn’t alone, Ms. Invaal grabbed a Vita Rifle off of the table and spun around, taking a knee and leveling the rifle at me. We stared at each other for a few moments before I folded my arms and ordered, “Put the rifle down, dammit, I’m friendly.”

A smile spreading across her face, she leaned the rifle against her shoulder, “Ooooooh, Hi En! I didn’t realize it was you. Sorry about that.”

Looking back at the target, I shook my head, “Right….anyway, we have a mission soon, we’re supposed to be checking out the Tundra. We still have a little bit of time, just thought I should let you know…didn’t think I’d have a near death experience, though…..” I trailed off, shaking my head again.

“Sorry! Really, I am!” She said, holding her hand up and bowing, laughing nervously.
I heaved another mechanized sigh, “It’s fine, really…Don’t sweat it. I have to go find Cornelia, I’ll see you there.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I poked my head in Cornelia’s doorway and looked around. “Cornelia? Are you here?” I asked, knocking on the doorframe. Nothing. Stepping in, I looked around. The room was as sparsely decorated as ever, with only a table and a chair set out. Walking over to the window, I looked out over the city. This was where we worked, where we played. This city in a ship was our home. It’d be a nightmare if the Darkers ever got inside. I shook my head, dispelling the negative thoughts I was having. I was here to invite Cornelia to the pool; this wasn’t the time to be thinking like that.

“Ufufufu~ Hi En~” I suddenly heard behind me.

“Hm? Oh, hey Corne-” I started, turning around. I stopped midsentence, though; slightly shocked at what I saw.

“What is it?” She said as she took several steps toward me, giggling. “Don’t like?”

“You’re standing there in nothing but a bath towel. What am I supposed to say?” I deadpanned, turning around to look outside again.

“My, my. I can think of a few things~” She said behind me.

“This woman is definitely trying to tease me.” I thought to myself. “J-just listen. Unmei and the others are going to the pool; they wanted to know if you felt like joining them.”

“That sounds great!” She exclaimed, clapping her hands together. “I have a new bikini I can wear!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I lay against the wall, the lights covering my body flickering, my legs unresponsive. I thought I heard voices…calling me. “En….? En…?!” I looked up to see the concerned – and bleeding – Cornelia, kneeling next to me. “Good, we thought we’d lost you…”

“Peh!” It was then I noticed the small frame of Ce’Nedra behind Cornelia, a sharp, Quartz blue Wired Lance in each hand. Her yellow Tiger Pierce outfit was dirty, as was her person, and she was breathing heavily.

“We need to get you out of here, En….” I heard Farrid’s familiar voice trail off. Her shoulder was exposed, the green Tiger Pierce she wore torn away in that spot, her face and outfit dirty. Both her aqua eyes and the blue line on the Vita rifle clutched in her hands seemed to almost shine in the darkness of the tunnel we were in.

“Why should we? It’ll just slow us down!” Nedra argued, not willing to risk herself any farther for a Cast.

“What!? No! He’s our friend!” Farrid retorted.

“It is scrap.” Nedra shot back, turning around. She had a shallow cut across her midriff.

“That’s enough, you two! We’re getting him out of here.” Cornelia half-yelled without turning around, silencing both of them, save for Nedra’s timid “Y-Yes, Corny….”

Then, silence….

“…No, you’re not, Cornelia.” I finally said plainly, which caused the already quiet hallway to seemingly fall even more silent, as well as causing all three of them to look at me with a look of surprise. I looked at Cornelia. She had a nasty cut on her arm, which she was holding, her entire body looked like it was covered in dirt, she was shaking, and the scar on her face had re-opened and was bleeding. She definitely looked like she’d taken the worst of it, myself not included. I heaved a sigh, “Despite Ce’Nedra’s arguments being fueled primarily by racism; she’s got a point. I will slow you down, considering my legs aren’t operable. Better for you to leave now, rather than drag this sorry skeleton with you.”

“No!” Cornelia said, standing up and stomping her foot into the ground. “You’re leaving too!” She immediately grabbed one of my arms and attempted to pull me up. This caused one of my legs to spark as some of the energy arched, causing Cornelia to let go of my arm in surprise with an “Eep!”, causing me to crash back down to the floor.

“You stupid scrap heap!” Ce’Nedra threatened as she pulled Cornelia away from me, “I oughta –”

“You won’t do anything to him!” Farrid fussed, starting to raise her rifle.

“ENOUGH!” I yelled at all three of them, finally angry, “Just go, already! Don’t stand here and start to turn on each other when you’re perfectly capable of escaping! Go! Now!” I struggled to get into a sitting position as I spoke. Cornelia and Farrid looked hurt. Ce’Nedra grabbed Cornelia’s hand, and started pulling her.

“See? He doesn’t even want to be saved! Let’s go.” She said, thinly veiled triumph in her voice.

As Cornelia allowed herself to be dragged away towards the door to my right, she glanced back several times. The door slid shut behind the two, somehow still functional. “Well, your turn, Farrid. Go on.”

“B-but, I can’t just leave you here.” She said, semi-distraught, “I mean, you’re our partner, you’re my friend…”

I nodded my head, “Yes, and as such I can’t ask you to stay here and most likely end up dying. You and I both know that. Now you need to –“

I was cut off by a screeching noise down the hall to my left. “You have to leave, Farrid. Now.”

She looked towards the source of the screeching, then to me, and then the door Cornelia and Ce’Nedra had left through. Suddenly she dropped her rifle and threw her arms around my neck. “I will come back for you.” I hung my head as I pat her back, knowing I couldn’t keep arguing with her.

“I know,” I said simply, “The faster you move…well, you know. Now move, soldier, move.”

She picked her rifle up and quickly stepped towards the door. When she reached the frame, she turned around and waved, a small smile on her face. Then she ran off, presumably with fire in her eyes.

She had looked like she was about to cry.

Shaking my head, I swapped to a gunblade and pulled it off my waist after it had formed. I switched to shoot mode, and calmly raised it at the door panel, and fired, hopefully preventing the door from being opened.

Taking the gunblade in my left hand now, I pointed it at the darkness to my left, where the first creature was beginning to emerge, and fired.

[mommy_cornelia]

Heh, looking good ^^

Cant wait for the real thing :P

[Ce'Nedra]

Oi using my char and painting her down as a racsist without my permission? :P Though it would kinda be her response~

Other then that it looks good, needs more combat though ^^

Maybe i'll post my attempt to a fanfic someday so people can read it, never finished it though.

[Enforcer MKV]

Posting another Scenario I came up with. I'll probably make a full blown story - now introducing; Hivernia: the Pragmatic sharpshooter! This section is incomplete, and I'm actually writing it as we speak! I'll update later. :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



“So…tell me about this Caseal I’ll be working with, Commander.” I said, folding my arms despite being in my cumbersome Colossus type armor.

Commander Daryl was silent a moment, deep in thought. Hesitantly, he said, “She’s….different, pragmatic, even. She’s a decorated scout, she knows her stuff, and she gets the job done. She’s a loner, though, doesn’t like socializing, and I doubt you’ll agree with some of her methods.”

My interest was piqued at the last bit, “Why, you’re not going to tell me she’s one of those ‘whatever it takes’ kind of people, are you?”

The Commander simply remained silent; the look on his face told enough.

“Oh. Grand. This should be interesting.” I said, slight sarcasm in my voice.

“It should be fine with this mission; I’m simply pointing that out.” The Commander offered.

Before I could respond, the door slid open and a yellow Caseal walked in. Her face was hidden by a visored helm and mask, but I could faintly make out a pair of red eyes behind said visor. She was yellow and black, with the lights covering her body a pinkish color. The ‘skirt’ she wore was divided into three panels on either leg, and they moved ever so slightly, denoting some form of basic AI coupled with them.

She saluted, “Hivernia Mk. III, reporting as ordered, sir!”

“Excellent, we were just talking about you, Hivernia. This is Enforcer MkX, you’ll be working with him in this next operation.”

She shifted slightly, both when the Commander mentioned we had been talking about her, and when he mentioned we’d be working together. Regardless, I walked over to her, and offered my hand, “Ma’am. It’s my pleasure. I’ve heard good things about you; I look forward to working with you.”

I could see her eyes staring at my hand behind her visor. Seemed she really wasn’t very sociable. I flexed my hand and turned around, “Alright, Commander, shall we go over the briefing one last time?”

“With all due respect, sir,” Hivernia broke in, “I already know my objectives, so -” The Commander gave her a look. “…Yes, sir. Very good, sir.”

“Alright, then,” Daryl began, nodding towards a holographic map of the area that had just appeared, “The area you’ll be entering is a heavily corrupted region of the Naberius Forest. Your primary objective is to recon the area, and, if possible, eliminate the enemy presence. Now, we’ve already lost two teams in the area, so if possible, find them, and help them extract. That’s your secondary objective. There’s a large open area here,” he motioned to a large clearing on the map, “Reports from intelligence suggest the enemy is centered here. We don’t know what is going on, though, since any gunships we send in haven’t returned. You’re going in more or less dark, Arks, so be careful. That is all. Dismissed!”

“YES, SIR!” Hivernia and I cheered in unison as we saluted the Commander simultaneously. We glanced at each other a moment before Hivernia looked away with a “Hmmph!” She spun on her heel and quickly left without another word.

“Hell of a partner you paired me with, Commander.”

“You should be fine. Heck, she’s cute under that helmet.” Daryl joked with a chuckle.

“How is that even relevant?”

“I saw you looking, don’t lie.”

“I was looking at her face, thank you very much.”

“mmhm, just remember she doesn’t like you yet.”

“Good grief, you and Cornelia both. The only one who doesn’t try to tease me is Farrid. Anyway, I should get going.”

I turned and began to leave. “Enforcer!”

I stopped, “What is it, Commander?”

He was silent a moment, “…Both Cornelia Allen and Farrid Invaal were on one of the other teams. The last distress call we got had Invaal’s ID connected to it.”

I heard the pop of an audio playback beginning, and Farrid’s excited voice came through, “Area is cra--ing with D-----s! Do NOT se-- ba--up! Repeat, do n- CORNELIA, BEHIND YOU! RIGHT FLANK, RIGHT FL-” The recording fell silent.

“It ends there.” The Commander said grimly.

I was quiet a moment, before mumbling “Understood,” as I walked out. I walked down the hallway, and stopped, resisting the urge to punch the wall. “They’ll be fine,” I thought to myself,

“I’ll make sure of it.”

[Wayu]

HAREMU TAIMU.

Surprised you didn't include half the team in this. Screw CAST supremacy, CAST HAREM.

-Wayu

[BIG OLAF]

I can forgive the overly-simplistic approach to the writing since you said you were just getting back into the swing of it.

Good, light reads, though. Fun to go through.

[Wayu]

Now for actual criticism besides pointing out the harem. :P

Your sentences are too simple, which is what I think Olaf was referring you. You use the same sentence structure over and over and over. To keep the reader from being bored, you need to spice things up.

The structure being repeated is:
"Oh noes big bugs" Farrid said. "More big bugs" Cornelia said. "BIKINIS EVERYWHERE OMG MY NOSE IS BLEEDING LOL I HAVE GOD ABS" Exodus said.

Asides from that everything seems okay at a glance. I could get more technical but you'd likely cast that asides as trolling. x3

-Wayu

[Enforcer MKV]

Forest Ark: Part I

[SPOILER-BOX]The next section, continuing off the last. I did my best to take what little honest criticism I got, and wanted to see what others (mainly Olaf) thought. Not really sure when I'll start writing the story proper. First day of school, so I'll probably be busy the first week or so. We'll see.

EDIT: POST UPDATED
[/SPOILER-BOX]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A short time later Hivernia and I stood in the teleport room of the Campship, prepping. I stood at the item Kiosk, doing a final check, Hivernia responding to my queries.

“Mate supply, check?”

“Check.”

“Telepipe supply, check?”

“Check.”

“Atomizer supply, check?”

“Check.”

“Weapons, check?”

She looked over her Strauss rifle, “Check.”

“Armor integrity, check?”

I turned and looked over the back of Hivernia’s armor before giving her the thumbs up.
She nodded. “Check.”

Nodding in kind, I tapped the console, “Okay, that’s that. I already did my prep, so we’re good to go.”

Hivernia walked past me, her Strauss on her back. “Just don’t get in my way, that bulky armor looks cumbersome.” With that, she walked to the platform, and hopped into the pool which transported us to the planet’s surface.

“We’re not going to get very far if you’re not willing to work together, if it’s bad enough we’ve lost gunships and two teams, ma’am.” The confines of the campship answered with silence. Shaking my head, I walked over to the teleport, Alva Laser on my hip, and jumped in.

Next moment, I found myself in the forests of Naberius, amidst all manner of trees and twisting foliage. Looking around, it appeared the plants seemed to share a strange purple tint.

“Enforcer! What are you doing?” Turning around, I was presented with Hivernia’s frame. She shook her head, “Darker infection; it’s already spread this far. This is serious.”

I looked back at the tree, “Darker infection, huh? I’ve never seen anything like this before. If things are really this serious, then we’ll need to find those survivors quickly.”

Hivernia shook her head again, “That isn’t our directive. We’re supposed to recon the area and see if we can’t eliminate the threat. Given the amount of corruption, I doubt we’ll be able to perform even that much, let alone complete all of our objectives.”

“Finding survivors isn’t our primary objective,” I corrected, “But it’s an objective none the less. Besides, it’s possible, if there are survivors, that they have information we can use. So in a sense, it’s possible completing our secondary objective helps further the primary objective.”

Hivernia was quiet for a moment, “Your words hold some truth,” she slowly admitted, “still, we aren’t even sure if there are survivors, so -”

“So that’s why we look for them.” I said with a shrug as I walked past her, finishing her sentence, “Anyone we manage to save has that much more experience fighting Darkers, or increases our chances of learning something we didn’t know prior. Now, we’ve wasted enough time, let us continue.”

“Are you sure you’re not just worried about Cornelia Allen and Farrid Invaal?”

I froze. “I - ”

Then there was screeching. Instantly I raised my rifle, sweeping the area.. Multiple Dagan seemed to just appear around us, seemingly from nowhere. “We just got here and they’re already on to us? No wonder we lost contact with the other teams! Hivernia, get ready!

“A-Acknowledged.” Her voice didn’t seem as confident as it had a moment ago.

Suddenly the dagan closest to me lunged, forcing me to sidestep. Pinning the creature to the ground with my foot, I pointed my rifle at the offender and fired a shotgun burst into its body, causing the dagan to cry out in pain before slumping to the ground, dissipating into darkness a few moments later.

“En-Enforcer, I require your assistance; Dagan in close proximity.” As I looked up, Hivernia fired a shotgun burst into the dagan closest to her, and then ran in the direction of the teleport. “Keep their attention; preferably away from me.”

“Understo- wait, what? Aw, crap.” I dove out of the way of another attempted dagan attack, ending up on my feet again. “Whatever you’re going to do, do it fast! I don’t feel like playing keep away!”

Suddenly, a supercharged bolt penetrated the two closest dagan, causing the creatures to shudder and dissipate into black wisps before even falling to the ground. “Acknowledged, Enforcer. Purging enemy presence with extreme prejudice.” The three remaining dagan were quickly and cleanly eliminated by Hivernia before I had time to react.

“Well, that was prompt.” I muttered quietly, stowing my rifle on my back once more. “Now -”

“We must continue at once, Enforcer. Time is short.” Hivernia walked past me at a brisk pace, rifle in hand.

She was already ahead of me by a fair distance, so I had no choice to follow, lest I be left behind. As we proceeded deeper, the trees seem to twist and bend to slowly block out the light. In fact, the trees contorted themselves in such a manner that they actually began to form corridors of some sort.

Suddenly, Hivernia stuck her right arm out, her hand balled into a fist. “Hold. Auditory sensors detecting…some form of anomaly. Possibly combat.”

I listened myself. It almost sounded like some large, almost cumbersome object was being whipped through the air by a wire.

“Wait…I…I know this sound! Hivernia, move out!” I took off at a run, until a pair of medium sized tree trunks, shoved next to one another like some form of hatch or door, blocked my path. Judging that my rifle wouldn’t do much to clear the trunks, I wedged my hands in between them and attempted to pry the trees apart. The gears in my arms began to whine and fuss as they strained against the solid bodies of the trees, their blackened form standing tall against me. Slowly, the trees began to crack and give way. Finally, after a final effort, I wrenched the trees apart…only to be met by a dagan literally fly into me, knocking me over.
Through the door I heard a familiar female voice yell “Go away, you nasty things!”

Heaving a simulated cough as the dagan dissipated, I stood up and nodded my head. “Yup, that’s Cornelia, alright.”

[Wayu]

The next section, continuing off the last. I did my best to take what little honest criticism I got, and wanted to see what others (mainly Olaf) thought.

Here's some more. I'll be more picky this time around.

Well, first of all the sentence structure repetitiveness issue remains. Not much else to say about that though.



A short time later Hivernia and I stood in the teleport room of the Campship, prepping. I stood at the item Kiosk, doing a final check, Hivernia responding to my queries.

Using the same noun + verb twice in a row is repetitive and not very smooth. Try saying it out loud; it doesn't sound very smooth. For the second sentence, either change the verb or better yet change the sentence entirely to something like:

"Hivernia and I performed a final check-up at the item Kiosk, with Hivernia responding to my queries."

Also, not sure if "queries" is the best word to use there. Sounds kinda funky to me...



She looked over her Strauss rifle, “Check.”


Doesn't she use the Ridoblah?



I turned and looked over the back of Hivernia’s armor before giving her the thumbs up.


I'm having trouble visualizing this. Who was inspecting who, and how?



Nodding in kind, I tapped the console, “Okay, that’s that. I already did my prep, so we’re good to go.”


Where did the console come from? You might want to specify, as this tidbit seems to be a separate 'chapter' from the rest.


Shaking my head, I walked over to the teleport, Alva Laser on my hip, and jumped in.

I know you like Alva better than Alba but it's Alba. ^^; アルバ、not アルヴァ.


Next moment, I found myself in the forests of Naberius, amidst all manner of trees and twisting foliage.

Grammar errors here. Should be "THE next moment" and "amidst all mannerS of trees".


Hivernia shook her head again, “That isn’t our directive. We’re supposed to recon the area and see if we can’t eliminate the threat. Given the amount of corruption, I doubt we’ll be able to perform even that much, let alone complete all of our objectives.”

I think you mean "can".



“Finding survivors isn’t our primary objective,” I corrected, “But it’s an objective none the less. Besides, it’s possible, if there are survivors, that they have information we can use. So in a sense, it’s possible completing our secondary objective helps further the primary objective.”

Nonetheless is one word, but it works separately. The comma between survivors and that seems kinda awk. Also, I think there should be a 'that' between possible and completing.

That's it for this time's criticism. If you want more it might be wise not talking behind my back. :blackcat:

-Wayu

[Ce'Nedra]

Wayu, do you really need to strip down his entire post and critism everything? It's just for fun, let it go.

[CupOfCoffee]

Grammar errors here. Should be "THE next moment" and "amidst all mannerS of trees".

That's actually not correct. Enforcer had it right with "...amidst all manner of trees."

That said, as far as grammar and syntax go, there are a few comma splices and odd dialogue tags sprinkled throughout. Certain authors can get away with rampant bending of the rules and general disregard for what's commonly accepted as "correct" syntax (Thomas Pynchon comes immediately to mind), but it's always good to learn the rules before you go breaking them. ;)

[CelestialBlade]

Man can't even get no peace n quiet in his own Fanworks thread. Damn shame.

I kinda like this whole "fragments" thing you're doing, Enforcer. I know it's a lot easier for me to write if I don't have as much to do at one time. I'm always afraid of leaving out little details or getting the flow right, but little snippets like this are much easier to manage. I'll keep that idea in mind. Nice reads by the way, it's always cool to me to see team-stories. Keep it up!

[CupOfCoffee]

Yeah, agree! Don't let criticism discourage you. It's just tips. And don't get the impression that your writing isn't already fairly strong—it flows well and I also think the fragments format is a good fit. Keep going, whatever you do.

[Enforcer MKV]

Okay, instead of going back and forth between quotes, I'll just answer what I can.

Hivernia specifically asked me to use Strauss with her character,

En turned around and looked over the back of Hivernia's armor, since she was unable to, and gave her a thumbs up once he deemed the status of Hivernia's armor to be acceptable.

The 'item kiosk' and 'console' are one and the same. It's where you buy the items in the real game, while on the campship.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Akbdpi65EON1dGRTd2hqNXBQMW1Lak9SOFJKM1Utb UE&gid=5

^ This is where I'm getting all my item translations. (excluding Patty Lumeria - I'll be calling that Lumerion. Patty Lumeria just sounds dumb to me.)

most grammatical inconsistencies are inherent to the character's speech patterns. Not every character is going to have perfect grammar.

(Honestly, I'm less worried about syntax, I'm just hopeful people honestly enjoy reading it.)

EDIT:

WHERE DID ALL THESE COMMENTS COME FROM!?!?

Lol, thanks guys.

EDIT 2:

And make sure you guys read Olaf's writing as well; I know it's wordy, but he really is a much better writer than I am. ^^;

[BIG OLAF]

most grammatical inconsistencies are inherent to the character's speech patterns. Not every character is going to have perfect grammar.

I actually REALLY like that when people do this. It makes characters really come to life. One person may say,

"Hey, let's go get some lunch!"

While another may say,

"'Ey, let's go an' get us a bit o' lunch, yeah?"

I find it essential for good personality development, if that's the kind of thing you're going for with certain characters. It helps the reader know that the characters aren't all Microsoft Sam, and makes them more colorful and exciting.

[Enforcer MKV]

I find it essential for good personality development, if that's the kind of thing you're going for with certain characters. It helps the reader know that the characters aren't all Microsoft Sam, and makes them more colorful and exciting.

just seems natural to me. Not everyone in real life has perfect speech. Why should the characters? That's so boring.

Whether their speech is more suggestive, mechanical, formulaic or laid back, speech is one of the greatest ways to develop a character in a story, it's not as if you always get pictures with each character.

That being said, i didn't pull that off too well so far. Must do a better job of that..

[Enforcer MKV]

Sorry for the double post, but I updated my previous section with more content.

Yes, I know you wanted to see me do an action scene with your character, Cornelia. I'm working on it. Really, I'm sorry, I wanted to get it done tonight, but I have so much on my mind, and so many ideas about how to use WL in a fight, I need more time. @_@ Hopefully I'll have enough time to do it tomorrow before my class starts. ^^; definitely won't. :s

[Wayu]

Speech may not be perfect, but it's still gotta make sense. You guys are talking about accents, not proper sentencing or stuff like that. ^^;

And @Nedra: It's for fun, but he won't get better without proper criticism. Just saying "I like your snippets" won't make him a better writer. If he's posting on the forums, he's letting himself be open to criticism. Someone's gotta do it. Kinda like how someone's gotta do the translations for PSO2.

-Wayu

[Ami]

Can't we all give civil feedback without going at each other throats plox THINK OF THE CHILDREN ; ~;

ANYWHO, I should probably be the last person to give feedback because writing isn't my strong point AT ALL. Buuut, I do like the overall events happening in each post you've made. That being said I do see a couple places you can make a separate sentence instead of putting a comma. I have the same habit of putting commas everywhere.

I hope the critiques that you're getting don't discourage you from continuing posting. I think as you get more into writing again everything will start to flow better.

[Enforcer MKV]

Don't know when I'll have the next part out. Apologies in advance.

[Ce'Nedra]

And @Nedra: It's for fun, but he won't get better without proper criticism. Just saying "I like your snippets" won't make him a better writer. If he's posting on the forums, he's letting himself be open to criticism. Someone's gotta do it. Kinda like how someone's gotta do the translations for PSO2.

-Wayu

I guess your right on that but it refrains me from posting my own fanfic i worked on because of grammer nazi's that will litterly dig through every single word i typed. I'm not english by native and I wrote it like 5 years ago when my english was even worse then now. If i would post it i just want people to enjoy it and no get serval pages filled with critism and corrections :P

I might still post it...but not to sure.

Why don't you just go through it and correct the errors

[Wayu]

Or get an editor to do it for you.

[CelestialBlade]

Post it anyway, fux the replies. I'm sure criticism (hopefully constructive) will be offered but it's on you whether or not you want to read it, and there are plenty of people that will enjoy it for what it is. Not your fault that English isn't your first language, not like we should treat it as the global standard. Personally I've never had trouble reading anything you've had to say and as long as grammar errors in a story have a reason behind them/aren't blatantly ignorant, I probably won't even notice.

[Ce'Nedra]

Hmm I could go through it I guess...But I need to find motivation to continue working on it in general. I'd have tons of awesome ideas in my head but I don't know how to put most down, specially in english.

I should dig the file up sometime and try fix some of the easier ones...if I don't forget~

[Fox2Tails]

Personally I've never had trouble reading anything you've had to say and as long as grammar errors in a story have a reason behind them/aren't blatantly ignorant, I probably won't even notice.

There's a vast difference between then and now [Trust me, I know], which is why he should go through it again and correct what he finds

Edit: Sorry Enf ^_^'

Forest Ark: Part II

[SPOILER-BOX]Cornelia's fight scene. I'm hoping I did her justice a little more.[/SPOILER-BOX]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Newman’s hair, dyed turquoise instead of its natural brown color, swayed softly, her ponytail and bangs caught by a light breeze. Her dark green Neighbor Quartz hugged her curvy frame as she stood there, her shoulders raising and falling as she breathed. Suddenly, twenty or so dagan materialized around Cornelia, surrounding her. Hivernia moved to assist the seemingly trapped Hunter, but I raised an arm, impeding her attempt. “Don’t underestimate that HUnewearl. This’ll be easy for her.” Hivernia glared at me a moment before relaxing.

“Affirmative. Her death will be on your hands.”

Suddenly, Cornelia took off, sprinting at the dagan directly in front of her; the large Jagriath wired lances she used not slowing her down in the least. Just before reaching the monster, she jumped, using the dagan as a platform. As the Hunewy rose, she flung her left arm back, the corresponding wired lance flying out; coiling itself around the leg of the dagan she’d just used as a stepping stool. When she touched the ground, the hapless creature was lifted into the air, the wired lance still wrapped around it. Cornelia rotated her arm, pulling the dagan in an arc through the air, finally slamming the doomed darker into the ground again, killing it instantly.

Cornelia yanked her arm, the wired lance retracting at her command as the dagan’s corpse disappeared into wisps. The fallen creature’s kin chattered, before rushing her en masse from behind. The Newman spun on her heel, lashing out at the front of the group with her weapons, knocking four of the dagan back. The remainder of the group simply crawled over the dazed bodies of their brothers, eager to get at the warrior that had already cut down one of their own.

The Turquoise haired Newman responded to this by running at the ‘wall’ of trees closest to her. She ran up the wall, and kicked off; tucking her legs and arms tightly to her body while she flipped through the air, before landing easily on the ground behind the dagan, almost as if she were weightless. Before they had time to react, Cornelia bound into the center of the ground, grabbed one of the creatures with her wired lance, and spun the enemy turned bludgeoning object around her, hitting over a dozen of the creatures, sending them flying; and in most cases, killing them. After this attack, only five dagan remained. Three of them paused – a rare sight – looked at one another, and ran away, which was an even rarer sight.

Before the remaining two could react, Cornelia charged them. She grabbed one with her wired lance, and jumped, taking the dagan with her, then threw it down, slamming it into the one below, killing them both. Cornelia landed, not as effortlessly as before, and stood there, her back facing us once more. A single ray of light was breaking through the canopy the trees had created, and it shined down on her.

[Enforcer MKV]

I apologize for the double post but I really felt the need to say this:

I hope you look forward to the next chunk I write for you all! I'll be pleased if you enjoy my work, despite just starting again and it probably being lousy. ^^; I really do love writing, which probably stems from my love of books. There are just so many wonderful stories that are in this world; some written, some not. I know not everyone will like how I do things, and that's fine; this world would be boring if everyone thought the same. I know this probably sounds really childish, and that's because....well, I guess a big part of me is still a child on the inside. And honestly? I hope that part of me never grows up. I hope your time doesn't feel wasted by reading this, and I hope you all enjoy your days ahead.

Oh! Before you go, I wanted to post some of the music I listen to while I write. Just because I feel like sharing. ^^; Maybe I'll post more later. Here you go, I hope you enjoy the music and my writings as we all walk into the future, whatever it may bring.

Forest Ark: Part III

[SPOILER-BOX]This bits a little short, also a continuation of the last. Enjoy.[/SPOILER-BOX]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“…Heh, yeah…that’s our Cornelia, alright…” I mumbled under my breath, nodding my head. I started making my way towards her, calling out as I got close, “Ooooooi! Corneliaaa! We’re here to help!” What happened next wasn’t something I was expecting.

Cornelia slowly turned her head to the left to look back at me. “E-En...?” She said weakly. Her face had several cuts on it, as well as several bruises. “Why are you here? F-Farrid told them not to send…any….back……up.” The weakened warrior fell back, though I managed to catch her before she hit the ground.

“O-oi, Cornelia! Cornelia!”

“Nnnnnnn, you’re too loooud.”

“At least you’re alright,” I said with a sigh, lowering my voice. Pulling my left arm back, I pulled a trimate and handed it to her, “Here, drink this; you’ll feel better.”

“Mmmm…thanks~ I ran out a while ago.” The ponytailed Newman downed the trimate, and turned away from me, curling up slightly. “So sleepy….”

“Hey! Don’t fall a - aaaaand she’s already asleep. Great.”

Hivernia stood behind me, looking over. “Puzzling…This newman, despite having such large bags of meat on her chest, is quite agile.”

“Large bags of…” I hung my head, “Really, now? That’s the first thing you notice? Not her pretty face, not the huge wired lances she wields. The first things you pick up on are her breasts?”

“Furthermore,” Hivernia continued, seemingly oblivious to my comment, “she seems to place an unreasonable amount of trust in you. Tell me; are the two of you in a romantic relationship?”

“No, Hivernia, we’re not in that kind of relationship.”

“True; you hardly seem capable enough to be in such a relationship with such a physically attractive female…”

“Now, listen, you…” I grumbled, my fist shaking slightly out of annoyance, “how is any of this relevant to the mission?”

She was silent a moment, “…true enough. Silencing vocabulator.”

I quietly shook my head as I picked the sleeping Cornelia up and began carrying her on my back, her arms draped around my neck. “Alright, let’s go.” I trudged off, slightly annoyed.

Hivernia tilted her head to the left and wondered aloud, “Was it something I said?” before following.

As we walked through the wood corridors, Hivernia spoke up, “Enforcer, isn’t it strange that the enemy has yet to renew their attacks? Surely the best time to attack is when we’re caught off guard due to tending a fallen ally.”

“I know. I’m not complaining, though. We’ll be in a lot of trouble if we’re attacked while Cornelia is still asleep. Besides, we still need to see if there are any more survivors.” The truth of the matter was that I was worried about Farrid. I’d fully expected to find the two of them together. As it stood now, though…well, things just got a lot more complicated.

“You worry about this female quite a bit, don’t you?”

I heaved a mechanical sigh, “Yes, I do. And not just her. Farrid too. Is it strange that I worry about my friends?”

“Your concern is jeopardizing our ability to complete the mission.”

“You said it yourself; it’s hard to gauge whether we’ll be able to remove the enemy as it stands. We might as well find anyone we can, before leaving. At least we’ll have a recount of what happened to turn this operation into a nightmare.”

“Are you sure you’re not using that as pretense to search for your lost friends?”

That was the last straw. Turning slowly, almost ominously, I pointed a finger at Hivernia, “Listen, and listen well, because I’m only going to say this once. Yeah, I care about my friends. A lot. Why? Because they’re my fucking friends, that’s enough of a reason to me. But will I throw away the lives of someone else, or use them as an excuse? No I will not! If I’m able, I will bring every damn soldier back; preferably alive. But that doesn’t always happen; people die, people lose the fight. We have to make sacrifices. But forgive me if I’d rather not lose the people I care about. I’d rather not lose anyone. I didn’t join the Arks to satiate some wild lust for darker blood. I joined so I could protect others, so I could save Human, Newman, and CAST alike. I don’t know why you joined, and I. don’t. give a damn. Our mission is two-fold; eliminate the darker presence if possible, and rescue survivors. YOU have already expressed your lack of confidence in regards to completing the former, so I am going to attempt to complete the latter. If you’re suspicious of my methods and modus operandi, then leave. And take Cornelia with you, while you’re at it. She’s a survivor, and shouldn’t have to suffer for it. I don’t even care if you take the credit, so long as she’s safe.”

Hivernia stood frozen, seemingly stunned at my proposal. “Ridiculous. Ridiculous…continue on? By yourself? The chances of you completing this mission are under ten perce-”

“I’m not worried about my ‘chances’,” I growled, “Leave the statistics alone for a bit. Either you come with me and try to see this mission through, or you abandon it. It’s simple.”

“…Fine. I’ll accompany you; because it’s our ‘mission’.”

“…thank you. Now, let’s continue moving.”

A short while later, Hivernia and I reached another clearing. This one was ringed with trees, similar to the one we’d found Cornelia in. Speaking of the green haired Newman, she had begun to stir, so I set her on the ground, leaning her against one of the trees.

“Hivernia, do you detect anything around us?”

“Analyzing….” The metal fins that comprised her skirt began to twitch, and it was at that moment that I realized what they were for. They were her radar.

“Impressive…So that’s what allows you to scan the area so well.”

“Remain silent, I require concentration. I’m conducting an intensive scan of the whole area.”

I left Hivernia to her work and checked on Cornelia again. “Cornelia...Cornelia? Come on, you need to wake up, this is serious.”

Suddenly Cornelia threw her arms around my neck, causing me to lose my balance and fall back, taking her with me. Looking up, I saw that she was laying on me, still sleeping.

“O-oi, you -”

“Ufufufu~<3 Ce’Nedra~”

“I-I’m not Ce’Nedra! Cornelia, wake up!”

“Ce. Ne. dra.” She giggled in her sleep.

“Your body is so cold. I can warm you up~”

“CORNELIA, WAKE UP!!!”

“Eh..? What is…?” She wondered groggily as she slowly opened her eyes.

As our eyes met, I stared at her unflinchingly, “You awake yet, Princess?” My voice was thick with sarcasm.

She jumped up with a “KYAAAAH!”, but not before slapping me across the face. “E-EN!? What were you doing to me!?”

“Uh…hold on, Cornelia, you threw your arms around me. I don’t know what you were dreaming about, but-”

“Enforcer,” Hivernia broke in, “if you’re done being flirtatious, I’m finished.”

I looked at Hivernia, then back at Cornelia, who cocked an eyebrow, “My my, flirtatious? En, you animal~”

I hung my head, “Ha ha, veeeeeeery funny.” I grumbled as I got to my feet. “Alright, Hivernia, what did you find?”

“…Nothing.”

“…Nothing at all?”

“Correct.”

“….Right.”

Suddenly, a dark red portal opened up. The creature that flipped through the portal was all too familiar to us. Four heavily armored legs, a pair of shorter ‘arms’, and a bulbous spinneret like sack connected to a small body. One of the more fearsome Darkers we were forced to fight. The Dark Ragne.

“Arks,” I said, slowly reaching for the rifle on my back. “Things just got a lot harder.”

You've no idea how long I went back and forth, trying to decide whether or not I should have the sleeping Cornelia kiss En on the cheek before he yelled. XD

Forest Ark: Part IV

-----------------------------

The Ragne roared before stomping towards us. And it wasn’t just a normal Ragne. An inflamed cancerous bulb protruded from the Ragne’s body, giving off some angry kind of vapor, and the creature’s entire body was tinted red.

“FLOWER! MOVE ARKS, GET OUT OF THE WAY!”

Hivernia did as I ordered; rushing to the right, but Cornelia wasn’t so quick to respond. She took two quick steps to the left, before wincing and losing her balance. “Dammit! Hivernia! SUPPRESSING!”

“Acknowledged, suppressing enemy movement.” She answered before taking a knee and firing at the Ragne in full automatic fire. While it didn’t seem to actually hurt the Ragne, it at least caused the creature to pause long enough for me to pick Cornelia up and put some distance between the creature and myself.

“H-Hey!” Cornelia chimed while in my arms, “Th-this isn’t something you normally do with a Co-worker! I-I’m very innocent.”

I looked at her, my skepticism invisible behind my face. “You? Innocent?” I deadpanned. “Riiiight…”

“Heeey! It’s true!” She looked away, pretending to be offended.

“Can we do this after we kill this thing, please?”

“Fiiiiiiine.”

Hivernia suddenly yelled at us, “ENFORCER, YOUR ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY. PLAY WITH YOUR LOVER WHEN WE ARE NOT IN IMMINENT DANGER.”

“For the last time, she isn’t my lover!”

“Yeah,” Cornelia piped up, scrambling out of my arms onto her own feet, “Who’d want to be with a refrigerator like this? He takes up too much space!”

“I hate you so much right now.”

“…Sowwy, En.”

I just shook my head as I pulled my rifle off my hip. “Just be careful, alright?” I grumbled before taking off at a run towards the Ragne, which was now chasing Hive. Suddenly the Ragne stopped and roared, as small red rings appeared on the ground that looked similar to both the bulb on Ragne, and the portal it had appeared through. One appeared at my feet, and I had to dive away as angry red lightning streaked from the sky and impacted on several of the circles, including the one I was just standing on. As I made it to my feet again, I managed to notice the Ragne swipe at something, and a yellow mass went flying into the trees, causing one to actually crack and topple over.

“Oh, no…don’t tell me that was…HIVERNIA! REPORT!”

Silence was all that responded.

“…dammit.”

There was a good amount of distance between the Ragne and myself, so I started to run clockwise, from roughly the 3 o’clock position towards the 6 o’clock, though the Ragne was trying to focus its attention on me. Suddenly it stopped to roar again. As it reared back, I took the opportunity to shoot it in the mouth, which it didn’t take kindly to. The Ragne flinched, and suddenly fell forward. I heard Cornelia cheer as she appeared on the Darker’s carapace, which covered the spinneret, and ran towards the small body at the center. She began slashing at a red lump on its back, which was its ‘weak point’ and I made my way around, taking a few shots at it myself.

As the Ragne regained its footing and rose, Cornelia refused to leave the creature’s back, opting instead to tear into the Ragne’s weakness. The Ragne began to shake, and a dark cloud that almost looked like static formed around it. Before I could yell to Cornelia, she took off across the Ragne’s back, leaping off a few moments before the cloud seemed to spark and fizzle. Cornelia’s landing didn't go very well, though. When she hit the ground, instead of her usual finesse, she tumbled.

I was torn between rushing to help her and trying to pull the attention of the Ragne, but the Ragne made my decision for me, though, as it turned towards Cornelia, who was half collapsed.

“This woman is going to overclock my processor…” I grumbled, taking off at a sprint. I skid to a halt, putting myself in between Cornelia and the Dark Ragne. Just as it released a volley of deadly red disks in an arc in front of it, I raised my arms in front of me. If nothing else, I could at least shield Cornelia. I braced myself just before a disk impacted. As it hit, I felt my armor fuss and groan from the energy behind each disk. A second disk hit, and I was pushed back slightly. A third hit, and I fell to one knee as smoke began billowing from an arm. A fourth hit, and I was knocked onto my back, narrowly missing Cornelia. Scrambling back to one knee, my whole body started to crack and sputter from the damage.

“E-En! Stop this, you’re going to kill yourself!”

“I’m not going to just let this thing kill us, Cornelia.”

“B-but…”

The Ragne fired another volley, and this time I dropped down on all four, my vision starting to error out. I could feel small micro explosions occurring throughout my body, as well as smoke billowing from various breaches in my armor.

“C-Cornelia….r-ru-”

The Ragne reared back and roared in triumph.

I'm so sorry this took so long. @_@ Between everything going on, I lost my will to write for a few days. Things be crazy over here. @_@ There's not a lot here, but someone in particular wanted to see what I had. Whoever could it be, I wonder?

[SPOILER]*glances at Cornelia*
[/SPOILER-BOX]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“No! I won’t leave you!” Cornelia jumped to her feet, and placed herself between the Ragne and myself.

“Fool…girl.”

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!”

I couldn’t look up, but I did manage to make out the sound of someone running across trees. Forcing my head up, I made out a familiar blue haired Ranger jump off of a high branch, only to disappear as she landed on the Ragne’s back. Several long bursts of fully automatic fire echoed, followed by the Darker’s angry cries. Cornelia immediately spun on her heels and grabbed my arm, in an attempt to drag me away. My frame sparked angrily as she attempted to do so, and she dropped me, my face going straight into the ground.

“Will you stop doing that?”

“S-sorry, En!”

I let out a loud cough as I struggled to my feet, “G-Go check on Hivernia, I’m going to try and help Farrid.”

“But…”

“Dammit, Cornelia, go check on Hivernia.”

“F-Fine! Jerk!” She huffed, before running off to check Hivernia.

I shook my head and turned towards the Ragne, my frame still a mess. Sluggishly, I queued my Ridultv and fired three shots at the large Darker, which was busy trying to dislodge Farrid from its back. The launcher rounds jarred me too much, and my vision became slightly blurry.

“Come on….shake it off. You’re supposed to be tougher than this.”

“EEEEN! I got your friend!” I looked to my left and saw Cornelia supporting Hivernia as they both shambled away from the broken tree.

“Drop a pipe! We’re leaving!” I switched to my rifle and fired off several bursts at the Ragne. And then the worst possible thing happened. A screech echoed behind me.

A second Ragne had showed up.

“Ah, shi- Cornelia! Get the pipe set up and get out of here! Farrid and I will follow!”

“But…”

“WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO ARGUE! JUST DO IT!”

Surprisingly, she actually listened to me.

READ FIRST:
This section is NOT canon. I wasn't feeling well, and just wrote this on a whim. This section is depressing, purposefully so. I don't know how much it'll effect everyone, so don't read it if you think it might put you in a bad mood. I'll get back to writing normally when I figure out how to continue the story. For those wondering, the part set Enforcer is wearing is the Sheriff set, with the Agrizz CV head. That is all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


“En!? En!? Dammit, En, a-answer me!” Farrid half screamed, tears welling up in her eyes. “N-no way, this isn’t happening! En…EN!!” She yelled, staring at the Cast’s lifeless body. Placing her hands on Enforcer’s shoulders, Farrid looked into what would normally be his blue eyes. Instead, she was met with a dark line, bent into a slight v shape. With a brief intake of air, Farrid turned her head and looked at Cornelia, who had her face covered with her hands, her body shaking slightly.

“C-Cornelia, he’s….”

“No! Don’t say it…He can’t be…He’s too stubborn to…” Cornelia moved her hands, revealing tears streaking down her pretty face, those of her left eye following the path of her scar. “Oh, En…” She whispered; a completely demoralized look on her face, her shoulders starting to tremble more.

Hivernia knelt down, sliding her helmet off. Placing her left hand on Enforcer’s chest, she leaned in close. “Enforcer?” She whispered, “Enforcer...” After a moment of silence, Hivernia bowed her head, resting it against his, and balled the hand she had on his chest into a fist, her entire body beginning to shake. “Idiot…” She mumbled, over and over, “Idiot…this is your fault…diagnostics are showing 80% of internal processes are out of sync…this is entirely your fault, Enforcer…” She looked up at his face, and gingerly tugged the facemask that covered her nose and mouth down, before pressing her lips against his cheekplate.

Farrid and Cornelia both looked at Hivernia solemnly; they both knew how close she and Enforcer had gotten. Suddenly, Hivernia slammed her fist into Enforcer’s right shoulder, “Why? Why, why, why, why, why….?”

Farrid hesitantly placed her hands on Hivernia’s shoulders. “C-come on, Hive, we’ve got to call for extract, s-since the pipes aren’t working….” Hivernia quietly nodded, and allowed Farrid to steer her out of the room.

Cornelia quietly stared at the broken cast as the two left. After a moment, she realized she was alone in the room, and shivered. “Come on En…this is mean. You have to get up and tell the other’s you’re alright…” The green haired Newman mumbled as she grabbed Enforcer’s left arm, attempting to pull him up. She lost her grip on his hand and the battered Cast’s frame crashed back to the ground with a clatter, falling over in the process. Then silence. The stunned Hunewy looked on in disbelief before a fresh batch of tears began rolling down her face. “Wh-what is this? Y-You’re supposed to yell at me for always dropping you…” Falling to her knees, Cornelia reached out to prop the body back up, but stopped, “Who am I supposed to tease, now? En…d-don’t just lay there…get up and let this all be a bad joke so we can go back home and have fun…”

Nothing.

Quietly, Cornelia propped Enforcer back up and sat down next to him, words failing her, curling up slightly. Later, Farrid and Hivernia walked back in. Hivernia dropped down to her knees in front of Enforcer and wrapped her arms around his midsection, resting her head against his chest.

“The dropship is here, Cornelia…” Farrid mumbled, finally regaining a bit of her composure.

“Alright…” The Newman said, her voice slightly empty. She stood up, and wrapped her arms under Enforcer’s left shoulder. Hivernia hesitantly let go and grabbed his right shoulder, and the two lifted the lifeless frame while Farrid quietly collected Enforcer’s weapon, his favorite spear, a Patty Lumeria. The three quietly made their way to the dropship, the only words spoken by Cornelia,

“Time to go home, En.”

[Enforcer MKV]

Urban Ark: Part I

[SPOILER-BOX]Part one of another Scenario I wanted to write.[/SPOILER-BOX]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About a week after the Dark Naberius Forest incident, I stood in a training room, clad in a full set of Sheriff type armor. The tip of my spear, a Patty Lumeria, was poking the ground, my hands resting on the hilt tip. Turning my head to the right, I spied a small crowd huddling around the door, murmuring to themselves. I heaved a mechanical sigh.

“Cornelia!”

“Yeeees, En~?” The busty Newman cooed affectionately as she walked past me, a swagger in her step.

“You let slip that we were having another sparring session, didn’t you?”

“Me? Never!”

“Then why is the crowd almost entirely young human and newman males?”

Cornelia took her place at the other side of the room, and looking at the crowd, giggled.

“So they are. Hi, boys!” She said with a wave to the group. The congregation cheered and hollered in response.

“Alright, alright, that’s enough!” I called out over the yelling, quelling the noise, “All of you here who are actually interested in watching two veteran Arks spar are welcome to watch, but…” I took the partisan in my hand and pointed it at the group, “Those of you who are ‘only’ interested in gawking at Cornelia need to get out of my sight. Now.”

This immediately scared off the entire group.

“Geeeez, En. Why are you always like that?” Cornelia whined. “There wasn’t any harm.”

“I can’t concentrate with a bunch of fools on the side-lines staring at you.”

“Awwwww, are you jealous, En.for.cer?”

I pressed my hand against my face, “Please stop. Or are you stalling the fight just because you’re afraid of losing?”

The look on her face changed. “My, my. Aren’t you being a little too daring?”

“Not at all; just trying to figure out why we haven’t started yet.”

A smile curled onto her face as she pulled her wired lances from her hips and positioned herself in such a way that she looked like she was about to pounce me. She reminded me of a cat reveling in the fact that she was about to kill a mouse. A metal mouse, in this case; and one that wasn’t going to go down without a fight.

“I’m going to enjoy beating you, En~”

“You always say that.”

“I always enjoy it~”

She dashed at me. In response, I took two steps forward and brought the Lumeria down vertically. She moved fast enough that despite the distance between us a moment ago, she was already within striking distance. She crossed her wired lances choosing to block my strike, though. As I pressed down on her wired lances, she wore the same smile she had a moment ago.

“The problem with a Partisan,” she lectured, “Is that you have a huge dead zone that leaves you vulnerable if the opponent can get inside it. The long blade on your weapon makes that area a lot smaller, but it’s still there. Also, the size of it makes it unwieldy, though you usually have good control.”

She giggled and kicked me hard in the chest, causing me to ease the pressure I was putting on her, and straight out falling backwards. She jumped and brought the wired lances down towards me. I raised the partisan and blocked the strike, but the amount of force behind the attack was as high as ever. The blunt end of the Lumeria was actually only an inch or so away from touching my neck.

“Come oooon, En. You’re making this too easy for me!” She complained, straddling me.

“This isn’t satisfying to me in the least!”

Her word choice, coupled with the position we were in, caused me to cough. “Isn’t that the wrong thing to say considering you’re basically riding me?”

“Wh-what!?” She gasped, embarrassed, “W-What are you saying? You know you don’t have a chance in hell of us ever - ”

“Then. Get. OFF OF ME!” I roared, pushing hard against her wired lances before she regained her composure, or finished her sentence. I actually used enough force that she flew a short distance with a “Kyaah!”, and I used the time to jump to my feet and charge her. She landed and fumed, “Th-that was dir- Waaa-Ah!” but I was already pressing my advantage. I took several calculated swings at her, all of which she dodged. Cornelia jumped back and suddenly let the wired lances loose, the oversized end of them coming directly at me. I spun my partisan at the last moment, returning them to the sender.

“Ha! How’s that?” I called, rather pleased with myself.

“You got better…a little better. But….” She suddenly threw the lances out again, faster this time, and they coiled around me before she yanked them towards the ground, sending me crashing into the floor. “…you’ve still got a long way to go before you can fight me when I’m being serious, En.for.cer.” She winked at me as she walked over and uncoiled the wired lances, and offered me a hand.

I sighed as I took it, rotating my free arm. “Yeah, that’s – ouch – obvious. Give me a minute and I’ll be ready for another round.”

Cornelia giggled as she walked to the other side of the room to a console, “Are you sure you don’t just like being beat up by me?”

“Ha ha, very funny…I’ll win one of these days; mark my words.”

“My, my, I’m looking forward to seeing that day when I’m old and gray.”

“Shouldn’t be too much longer then, eh?”

“H-hey!”

I laughed as I tapped a few buttons on the console, changing my standing job to Fighter. “These new weapons are pretty slick, aren’t they? Especially these Knuckles.”

“Yeah! They’re great. I was getting tired of always beating you up with wired lances. It’s good to switch things up every so often~.” Cornelia giggled uncontrollably as she walked back on the mat. She raised her arms, hands covered by a pair of Alva Crashelb. She winked, “Come and get me, if you’re not scaaared.”

“Chh! Don’t cry when you start getting hit, girl.” I raised my own fists, a pair of Alva Bracers, and dashed at her. I swung out with my right fist, but Cornelia rocked back on the heels of her feet and easily dodged the attack, coming back with her own left punch. I ducked that strike and swung upwards. Cornelia dodged the strike, “Nope, too slow! And why aren’t you using those Aevind I gave you? The red knuckles?” She brought her elbow down on the top of my head.

“OW – How does that not hurt you? And I’m not rated for them yet.” I jumped back and rubbed the top of my head for a brief moment before throwing a right straight. Cornelia responded by leaning to the right and clapping both of her Knuckles around my wrist. “Got…you~” she chimed before yanking me forward and driving her left knee into my torso.

“Oh….oh, light, that really hurt! The pain, it’s too much!” I turned my head to the left and looked at her, silent a moment.

“You didn’t actually think that was going to hurt, right?” I deadpanned before bringing my left fist around, getting a very solid hit across her face, squarely on her right cheek.

Cornelia was completely taken aback. “You….hit me. You actually hit me.” I could see tears welling up in her right eye from the pain. I had hit her quite hard.

“Eeeeeeen,” She said, an almost demonic look on her face. “You do know what’s about to happen, right?”

“You’re going to kill me, right?”

“Noooo~ that’d be too easy,” She said with a devilish glee. “I’m going to completely have my way with you.”

Taking advantage of her poor word choice, I started, “Oh, how grand. Does that mean I’ll finally get to see your big bouncing ballis-“

“NO MORE TALKING!!!” The Newman yelled before running her right fist into me, which sent me flying back into the wall, all the while using her left arm to try and cover her bust, her face slightly red, ears wiggling back and forth slightly.

“Perverts will be dealt with…harshly.” She fumed as she stomped towards me.

“…-tics. And pervert?” I mumbled to myself quietly. “I couldn’t do anything to you even if you wanted me to.”

I hopped to my feet and tried to distance myself from both the wall and the Hunewearl who was less interested in sparring and more interested in completely kicking my ass. After about a minute of being chased around the sparring floor by her, I turned around, ready to stand my ground…

…only to be met by her left gauntlet, which out of anger she had slipped off and flung at me. It smacked me square in the face, catching me off guard and causing me to fall onto my back.

“A~TTAAAACK!,” I looked up in time to see Cornelia cheer this and jump into the air, landing on top of me, pinning my shoulders with her knees.

“You know,” I started, looking up at her, “We seem to end up in similar positions like this all the time. You on top of me, I mean. Are you sure you aren’t secretly pinning for – “

She drove her right knuckle into my face, causing my arms to jump slightly as she did so.

“Does that answer your question, En?” She said with a smile as she pulled the knuckle back.

“….Yes, ma’am.” I took the hand she offered me, and stood up. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” She said humming to herself.

“Hey….hold still.”

“Hm…E-En, what are you doing?! Why are you so close!?” Her ears flapped back and forth.

“Oh, stop it. I’m simply going to check your cheek. I did hit you pretty hard, after all.”

“F-fiiiiiiine.”

I chuckled to myself. “Good girl. Now...” I placed my right hand on her left cheek, and tilted Cornelia’s head towards me slightly.

“How’s your jaw feel, Cornelia?”

“Sore.”

“Heh, well, you can talk, so that’s a good sign…”

“My, my…”

“Hmm…” I nodded, “Well, as far as I can tell, the worst that’ll happen is it’ll bruise. That and the soreness.

I took my hand off her cheek, and chuckled. “You’re certainly tough, that’s for sure.”

She took three steps back, and struck a pose, “Well, when you look this good, you’ve worked out a lot.”

I stared at her a moment before putting my hands on my hips and shaking my head.

“No wonder you draw crowds everywhere we go.” I said as I walked past her, unimpressed.

I ran a hand across my face. It wasn’t horribly dented. But then again, I’d just had a knuckle shoved in my face by an untypically powerful Newy, so…it’d seen better days.

“So…you want to get a bite to eat, Cornelia?”

“Asking me on a date, En? I’m shocked.”

“Pffff! Hardly; I know better. You’ll make me pay for everything.”

“H-How rude!”

“Not as rude as making someone who doesn’t even have a mouth pay for your food.”

“Eeeehehehehehe? I paid you back.”

“Yeah, three months later after I nagged you for three straight weeks.”

“Th-there weren’t a lot of missions!”

I shook my head. “Are you hungry or not?”

“Noooo, I’m fine.”

“Alright, shall we go to a park, then?”

“…Sure.”

We left the training room, and walked towards the residential area. Entering the lift, it started descending. Nice thing about taking the lift? It gave a really nice view of the Residential.

“It’s a nice view, isn’t it?” Cornelia asked, putting her hands on the glass.

I nodded. “It is. The city is really peaceful. It’s a nice respite from all the fighting we do when we step off.”

Cornelia leaned against the lift and got uncharacteristically quiet. I immediately picked up on it and looked at her. “Something wrong?”

Her ears twitched as her face flushed red a moment, “G-Geez. You pick up on stuff like that too quick.”

“What’s wrong?”

“…I was thinking.”

“…about?”

“Well….about us.”

I folded my arms skeptically. I knew she wasn’t really interested in men, so this would be an interesting thing to hear. “Really now?”

“Yeah…how long have we known each other, En?”

I tilted my head, “Approximately 6 years, 7 months, 2 days. Why?”

“I was just curious.”

I could tell there was something she wasn't telling me. “Oi, Cornelia, what’s wr-“

A familiar screeching cut me off. Cornelia and I both froze.

“Cornelia?”

“Yes, En?”

“You just heard that, correct?”

“Yeah, En.”

“…Dammit.”

The lift shuttered to a halt. Skittering above told us that we weren’t alone. We were both silent. Cornelia held her breath. I, obviously, had no way of doing such a thing.

“Corneli-“

The cable snapped and the elevator plummeted.

“CORNELIAAAA!”

Urban Ark: Part III

---------------------------------------------------------

I groaned. My entire body was screaming at me. “Oh, mercy…what hit me?” I looked around and realized I was in the twisted wreckage of the lift Cornelia and I were speaking in before. I looked down, and there was Cornelia; curled up, my arms wrapped around her. I breathed a slightly mechanical sigh of relief.

“…Thank the light she’s here...” I shook her slightly with my left hand. “Cornelia? Oi, Cornelia!” I did my best to clear a spot on the ground next to me, and then slowly move Cornelia off of me.

I shook my head again, “At least she doesn’t appear injured….”

An explosion rocked the area. “Oh, light, what was that?”

I found a hatch that was leaking light, and slowly pushed it open. A dagan cried and took a swipe at me from the other side and I was forced to drop the hatch in order to avoid getting a nasty strike to the arm. The dagan began beating on the hatch, the clangs resounding in the tight space.

I quietly slid my knuckle over my right hand, and looked back at Cornelia’s unconscious form. “Heh…maybe I was a tiny bit jealous of the group ogling you when we were trying to spar...” When there was a lull in the darker’s strikes, I flung the hatch open and quipped, “Howdy! Now…bugger off, darker!” before swinging my right into the creature’s face; sending it flying.

Crawling out of the hatch, I realized that the city – which was in a horrible state, we must have been out for hours – was utterly infested with darkers. A group of 20 dagan chattered a fair distance away, unaware of our presence, seemingly. I spied a console a short distance away, against a near wall, where I’d be able to change classes. Doing my best to be silent, I crept over to the console, and tapped in my request for a class swap to Ranger, as well as a situation report. The situation report came up:

-Approximately 75% of the Residential and Shopping districts are under lockdown following multiple incidents of darker activity. The origins of the darker units is unknown, but they are in force, and all known variants have been sighted, up to and included ‘Flower’ Ragne. The civilian populace in the affected areas has been urged to stay where they are, until relief teams reach them. The remaining civilians on board have been moved to shelters. All Arks have been deployed. All gunships have been scrambled. Reinforcements are en route from surrounding Arks ships. Standing orders are thus: locate and extract all civilians in the infested region, and eliminate the darker threat. WE WILL NOT LOSE OUR HOME TO THESE MONSTERS-

“…Damn right, we won’t.” Nodding my head, I managed to move a single rifle to my inventory before the console sparked. I stepped back as there was a loud pop from the console and it deactivated. “…Great. Just…lovely.” Then skittering to my left. I turned and realized that the dagan had been alerted to my presence. Not entirely surprising. Slowly, methodically, I backed up towards the broken lift. When I reached it, I quickly turned, threw a homing beacon inside and smashed the hatch with the stock of my rifle, and tried opening it with my hand. It was wedged shut. Nodding, I turned back around, the dagan creeping ever closer.

“Command, this is Enforcer MkX. I have one for extraction at E-5 in the southern Residential block. I dropped a beacon. Over?”

There was a pause, then static, then a slightly garbled voice. It was one of the handlers, Alexandria.

“Enforcer? Sweet mercy, you’re alright. I’ve been trying to reach you and Cornelia Allen for hours!”

I glanced back at the lift before raising my rifle and opening fire on the Dagan, “Yeah….I just woke up, sorry. There was an incident.”

“W-woke up? H-how bold of-“

Angry, I cut her off, “Look, save the stupid innuendoes for afterwards, I have dagan bearing down on me here!”

“Oh, goodness! Where’s Allen?”

“She’s behind me in the wreckage of a lift still unconscious.”

“….Wait, there’s over 50 darkers in that region, with another 75 moving there from the North, don’t tell me…..”

I was silent as I continued firing into the group, taking a few out, but they still approached slowly. They probably knew I wasn’t in a good position. We were basically in a side hallway, semi-narrow, and walls on either side of me.

“…Enforcer?”

“One for extract, E-5, Southern Residential,” I repeated, “Please hurry, the fact that she’s still out after 6 hours has me a little worried.”

“…All personnel are occupied. There’s no one to send.”

I fired a grenade shell into the group. “Why does that not surprise me?” I took a knee, and continued firing into the group, “Understood, Command. Let me know when something frees up.”

“You’re….calm?”

I was quiet again. “Well….it’s Cornelia. She’s had my back countless times. It’s time to return the favor, even if it’s just a little.”

“…I’ll see what I can do, Enforcer. Stay alive.”

“Understood. Enforcer out.”

I was quiet as I continued firing into the group, which was roughly 20 feet from me, now. Quietly, I whispered, “I’ll be damned if I let these things hurt my friends. I’ll be all the more damned if I let them hurt Cornelia.”

[Enforcer MKV]

Urban Ark: Part IV

[SPOILER-BOX]Final section of the Urban Ark (pun intended)[/SPOILER-BOX]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15 feet. I fired a grenade shell, sending those at the front of the group flying.

10 feet. I emptied an entire clip into the group as they inched closer.

As I slammed a fresh clip into the rifle, Alexandria cracked back over the communicator.

“Enforcer! You have one Ark moving towards your location! Just hold out a little longer!”

“Grand. Who?”

“Hivernia Mk.III”

“…Grand. Understood. And Alexandria?”

“Yes, Enforcer?”

“Tell her to hurry the hell up. They’re only five feet from me now.”

“WHAT!? Oh, by the will of the Arks…Understood!”

“Enforcer out.”

I backed up and bumped into the wreckage that Cornelia was still ‘hidden’ in. “Perfect…” I cursed quietly. Clenching my fist, I got ready to take a swing at the first darker that tried anything.

“HALT!”

The darkers stopped. A large darker, one that had what appeared to be a morning star on the end of its arm stomped around the corner. I raised my rifle.

“Alexandria, unidentified variant! Unidentified variant!”

“Understood!” I could hear her as she called over another channel. “Hivernia, hurry! Enforcer just encountered something we’ve never seen before!”

“How very…tactful of you, alerting your superiors of a new enemy.”

“Who the hell are you? Show yourself!”

“Straight to the point, aren’t we? Fine, then.”

A broad shouldered man appeared on the shoulder of the Morningstar wielding enemy. His face was covered by a mask with a visor. His body was hidden by a large cloak.

“Who….are you?” I repeated.

“My name is not important to a dead ma – hehhehheh, I almost called you a man. Oh, what a grievous mistake that would have been! Anyway…bring me the woman.”

“What?”

“Bring. Me. The. Woman.”

“If you think…I would just hand over a friend…you are sorely mistaken.”

“Oh, please, don’t make this any harder than it has to be.”

“Fine, I won’t.” I took a moment to aim a shot at the man and fired. He effortlessly dodged it, “Dammit...How cliché can you get?”

“Typical. Purely typical. How boorish. Fine.” He snapped his fingers, and the creature with the mace arm swung, hitting me square in the chest with enough force to actually throw me into the second story of the building behind the destroyed lift. I crashed through the window, a large gash in my chest, landing hard on the floor.

“Da-Dammit…to…” I clutched my chest as I struggled to sit up. An El Arda wretched the top of the lift open and picked Cornelia up, who was still out cold, before buzzing over to the masked figure.

“Oooooh, what a specimen she is, yes, she’s very attractive. I think she’ll be quite fun as more than just a tool.” He took her chin in his hand, examining her face, “Very nice body. Quite fun indeed…”

I stumbled over towards the edge of the room, clumsily picking up my rifle in the process.

“HIVERNIA, GET TO ENFORCER NOW, HIS VITALS ARE FADING!” Alexandria yelled over the comm.

“Enforcer! Report!” It was Hivernia, she’d just forced her way through a door behind me.

“You….BASTARD!” I roared, ignoring Hivernia, “NEVER, AS LONG AS I FUNCTION, WILL I LET YOU DO SUCH A THING TO HER!”

I set the rifle against the window sill, getting into a firing position. The masked man jumped onto the El Arda, and began to fly off.

“Never, never, never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, NEVER, NEVER!” The lights that normally glowed blue on my body slowly shifted to a murderous red. Finally, with a slight gleam, my eyes changed color as well. A weird faint mist wrapped itself around my rifle as I aimed it at the mask man, who had been able to get a rather long distance away, which was normally out of rifle range.

“DIE!” I pulled the trigger of my rifle as I bellowed the word, and the mist that had coiled itself around my rifle followed the shot.

The man, who assumed he had gotten away free with a nice prize, heard the zing of the shot and turned around in time to have the round hit at an angle that blew half his mask away. Though he himself wasn’t hurt, his ego was another story. He gripped his mask, “You…you insolent doll. I’ll make sure you pay…and I’ll do it in the cruelest way imaginable…” He cackled as the Arda carried him and the still unconscious Cornelia away.

“En….Enforcer? Report?” Hivernia approached cautiously as the Cast slumped against the sill of the window he fired out of, his chest sparking from the huge gash across his torso. She was amazed enough that he’d managed to make a shot across such a huge distance…that wasn’t even a feat she was sure she could accomplish. She was….interested in such skill.

I looked up, clutching my chest. “Isn’t it fucking obvious? They took….they took Cornelia…” The lights on my body, which had returned to blue, began to slowly turn off.

“She’s…..she’s gone.” I mumbled, my head drooping, “She’s gone and I couldn’t….save……her.” Finally, only the lights of my eyes were faintly glowing, about to give as well.

“Cornelia’s gone and I……couldn’t……I failed…..her…..” My eyes finally clicked off, and I fell unconscious.

“Enforcer…Enforcer?” Hivernia was stunned. Which was surprising, since she wasn’t generally stunned.

“Alexandria, requesting gunship immediately. Enforcer is down. Repeat, Enforcer MkX is down. I don’t believe he’ll survive without immediate attention.”

“What happened to Cornelia Allen? Isn’t she…?”

“The newman is….gone. Cornelia Allen has been captured by darker forces. Hivernia Mk. III out.”

[Skye-Fox713]

Very nice short reads, If you ever want to include my character JOE in this feel free to do so.

[ARChan]

Looking good, En :) But... >.>; Corn's okay with the direction of the RP, right? As long as she's okay with it, I'm okay ^_^

So, question: you're not going to have any of the original NPCs appear, right? It's seeming like the scenery is usually very isolated from other people/players/NPCs. Or is it that you're trying to emphasize only what Enforcer is seeing? But then again, putting the original NPCs will have to put in a lot more effort to make the character more exact to the real game... Hmm... Well, if you're going to put what I said into consideration, feel free to ask around about opinions of how a certain NPC would act.

And a little medical insight. Senses first to last to be lost:
1. Sight
2. Smell
3. Taste
4. Touch
5. Sound

Just a little FYI, assuming you're putting humanoids more human-like.

[Enforcer MKV]

I've asked her enough times to drive most people up the wall. She's cool with it. I don't want to upset the person who seems to be my biggest fan; considering she's asked me about the story enough times to drive 'me' up a wall. ;p

But in all seriousness; she said it's my story, so she's fine with what I do. We'll see if that remains a constant. She doesn't want spoilers, so she's finding this out no sooner than anyone else is. I'm writing how I want to write, but if any part feels like a breach of a person's character, they need only to tell me, and I'll work something out.

[AoiChi]

That's right. It's your story. Sure you can go back and edit where you see fit. Just remember that what's written here isn't set in stone. Also, if you haven't saved your documents yet, you might want to do so in your computer and/or a portable disk/drive. It'd be a shame if this website gets serviced clean and all of your work gets knocked out.

And hooray. You should be happy that I broke my no-post virginity here :P *trivia*

[SPOILER-BOX]Don't worry, I didn't forget about the thread, just been a bit sick. Enjoy![/SPOILER-BOX]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My eyes flared to light and I attempted to sit up quickly, only for my chest to spark and force me to fall back. It was then I realized my torso shell had been removed, replaced with a transparent wrapping of sorts, revealing the circuitry, wires, and mechanisms beneath. I gasped as I clattered back to the table. “Co-Corneli…”

Covering my face with my hands, I swore loudly. “That fucking…that bastard! I have to figure something out…I can’t just give up on Cornelia…”

I took my hands off my face and looked around. I was in a dark, cubic room. In various places around the room was a mixture of surgical and engineering tools. I was on a surgical table in the middle of the room. I could hear running faintly from outside. Presumably individuals involved in the city incident being rushed to surgery or Intensive care.

As the running got louder, I simply laid there, trying to deal with my own grief. The first hint that the runner was actually looking for me came when a familiar voice yelled out. “Where is he!?”

I slowly lifted my body up slightly, propping myself up with my elbow. “Far…rid?”

An unfamiliar voice, male, answered back, “Enforcer is lucky to even still function; from the reports, I’m impressed he got out with as little damage as he did! Most Casts would have had a cascading system failure! He shouldn't be disturbed!”

“En isn't most Casts!” Her voice sounded choked. “Where!?”

The male voice sighed, “Good grief, young lady, you’re disturbing the other patients…It’s the first door on your left.”

The door was thrown open and before I could react – at all – Farrid had crossed the room and thrown her arms around my neck. “En! En! You’re okay…thank you…thank you…”

I gently put my right hand on her back and patted it gently, “I’m okay…don’t worry…I’m fine right now.”

“What about Cornelia?” My hand froze as I was about to pat Farrid’s back again, and balled into a fist.

“I…don’t know yet. Before that…I think I’d like to make sure I’m all in one piece.”

Farrid let go of me and took a step back, “Alright. I really shouldn't be here anyway. Heh. The city is a mess. They really need all able bodied Arks right now.”

She pressed her hand against my shoulder as I tried to get off the table. “That doesn't mean you, En. I know you’re eager to get back out there and do something, but…just don’t. Not this time."

“…Yeah, alright. Alright. No combat duty until I get the okay. I get it.” I was quiet a moment before motioning towards the door. “You said you have a job to do; so go do it, soldier. Move out.”

She smiled as she walked towards the door. “Yes, sir!” Pausing at the doorway, Farrid placed a hand on the frame and looked back. “En…Everything is going to be okay, right? I mean, Cornelia’s gone, and you’re…”

“I’ll be fine, Farrid. Just need a little time,” Unbeknownst to me, my eyes flickered red as I spoke my next words, “And Cornelia won’t stay gone. I will bring her back. Alive. I won’t let things stay the way they are right now.”

Farrid nodded her head, though she looked slightly scared, “That sounds like the En I know…Well, see ya.” She left with a wave, closing the door behind her.

Shaking my head, I laid back down on the table, grumbling to myself about what I was going to do after I was released.

“Let’s see, need to find a replacement for Cornelia since she is MIA…maybe add another Ranger…I’ll have to talk to Daryl about this…..hmmm…….Guess I’ll shut down for a little while….”

“Enforcer…?”

I looked towards the door, “Oh, hey Hivernia.” Sitting up, I looked at her. She was…different. She’d changed the colors of her chassis to white and purple; her hair was longer and straighter, with a sliver poking out in a wide curve. She quickly crossed the room and pressed her right hand on my left shoulder. “Lay down a moment” She ordered.

“H-hey! What are you - !?” I grabbed her left arm, which had moved to remove the wrap around my torso. “At least ‘ask’ before you try something, yeah?”

She frowned. “I only wish to inspect your chassis’ circuitry while it’s exposed. Now, lay back.”

“Why? What are you looking for?”

“You ask too many questions…”

“It’s my body, I think I have the right to ask since someone just suddenly walks up and attempts to inspect my body.”

“…” She heaved a sigh, “You seemed strange when I found you in the city. I was merely curious if you possessed some sort of subsystem that I didn't.” She mumbled the next part to the point where I couldn't hear it, “Besides…that shot you made was really…cool…”

“Hm? Did you say something?”

“N-nothing! Now lay down!”

“Fine, fine…”

So, I was thinking the other day, and I decided that, since I generally ask for a Dossier for the characters I include in my story, I decided to do one for Enforcer. Seems fair to me. Please note this isn't finished, I'm just trying to throw up a general format.

[Enforcer MKV]

Arks: Personnel Dossier

Dossier: Enforcer MkX

Interlude & Flashback: Part II

She quietly looked over my torso as I lay on the table, her eyes slowly scanning the various wires and mechanisms. She squinted. “This….does not make any sense...”

“What doesn’t make sense?"

“I…my parts are more advanced, why were you able to perform such an excellent shot at that distance? Tell me!”

“Rather demanding, don’t you think?” I shook my head at her, “Look, I don’t know how I made that shot.” I tried to sit up, but Hivernia pushed me back down.

“Unacceptable. You must have some idea of how you were able to make such a well-placed shot.” She leaned over and began looking over my chassis again.

“Am I that interesting to you?” I wondered aloud, my voice thick with sarcasm.

She glared at me for a moment before straightening up with a “Hmmph!” as she stomped off out the doorway.

“What in blazes is that Caseal’s problem? It doesn’t matter how cute the Commander says she is; I’m not interested in a bad personali…” I grew quiet, “Ugh, just let me sleep…”

I let my eyes shut off and was about to power down, when I was interrupted again, this time by Daryl himself.

“Enforcer, are you awake?”

My left eye flared back to life and I turned my head towards the door just enough to see him. “I’m always awake. What do you need?” I looked back up at the ceiling, as my other eye clicked back on.

The Commander leaned against the wall, “I heard about what happened with Allen. For what it’s worth…I’m sorry. We’ll get the bastard.”

I lazily waved his apology off, “I know you came down here for more than just that, Daryl. Might as well get on with it.”

He squinted, “Alright. Hivernia Mk. III reported an oddity about you.”

“What ‘oddity’?” My chest sparked again, causing me to wince.

“Enforcer, are the color of your lights connected to your emotions?”

“What? No, the intensity of the lights ‘may’ change on occasion, but not the color.”

“They changed to red.”

“…What?” I turned my head towards the Commander, “What do you mean ‘they changed to red’?”

“That’s what Hivernia reported, when you were in a rage the lights on your body changed to a blood red. A faint haze drifted around your rifle afterwards.”

I sat up. “I…don’t remember any of that. The haze, I mean. Or my lights changing.” Looking down at my hand, I queued the rifle in question and it appeared on my back. Taking my rifle in my hands, I looked it over. “I don’t remember that at all…” I looked over the rifle for a few moments longer before letting it disappear, after which I laid back down on the bed.

Daryl shifted slightly before talking, “Well, Hivernia reported it, and unless her optics were bugged, which I doubt, then I’d say you aren’t even aware of all your capabilities.” He paused a moment, “Plus…considering the situation you were in, I’d say it’s possible for a glitch to happen.”

I heaved a mechanical sigh, and my voice erred out. “Y0u me4n…0h, gr3a7…” I banged my palm against the left side of my head, and tried talking again, “You mean Cornelia? You think it was because of her?”

“Precisely. Frankly, your relationship seems to lean toward romantic, more so than friendly.”

I shot up, causing my chest to spark again, “Ugh…w-what!? Y-your jokes are getting worse, Daryl! You and I both know…!” I grew silent a moment before bowing my head and continuing, my voice a monotone, “You and I both know how Cornelia Allen feels about men, in particular CASTs. It’s all right there in her file. I’m angry; I let a friend be captured by those...things. My best friend…But to suggest that our relationship had a spark of romance to it…that is simply wrong. You know that, and I know that.”

We were both silent for several minutes, before I looked up at the Commander, “Oi, Daryl…Leave me alone for a while, alright? I need to rest.”

He frowned, “Alright, Enforcer. Just keep what I said in mind, and consider it.”

I laid down as he walked towards the door, “Yeah…same to you,” I grumbled under my breath as Daryl walked out. “Too much has happened toda- wait…how long has it been since…”

I took a moment to check my internal clock. 47 hours. That’s how long it had been since my systems shut down from the damage. “Two days…damn.” I let out a sigh, “Two whole days since she got carried away…Aaaaah, dammit, all.” Laying there on my back, my chest sparked again, “Ghnk!…I wish it’d stop doing that…” I laid there in silence for a moment, thinking to myself, “I’ll talk to Daryl about a replacement later…for now…rest…”

I let my head fall back against the table. The lights on my body dimmed, and my eyes clicked off. While on the outside, it looked like a single, solid blue visor, I actually had two ‘eyes’ behind the single stripe. I’d entertained the thought of having it changed, though I wasn’t sure yet. Slowly, I entered ‘sleep’, or the closest to sleep I could get. My body powered down, and I quietly diagnosed myself, my body lying motionlessly on the table.

Fragments of an old, important memory played out in my head; the snow of the Tundra, the quiet of the field when the fighting wasn’t happening. The crunching of snow beneath our footpads as we ran. The roar of a large Tundra cat standing tall before us. The sight of a Newman girl with ponytailed turquoise hair lying in the snow, her hands clapped over the left side of her face.

Interlude & Flashback: Part III

[SPOILER-BOX]WHAT'S THIS!? ANOTHER UPDATE APPEARS![/SPOILER-BOX]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Enforcer? Enforcer? ‘ey, Enforcer, get your optics calibrated, will ya’?”

I jerked my head to the left and realized I was surrounded by snow. I also realized I was staring at a blue cast, in full angriff armor, who went by the name Castor. He was kneeling in the snow, much like I was, clutching a Vita Rifle in his hands. I tapped my hand against the left side of my head, clearing a small amount of static from my vision.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very funny, Castor.” I grumbled, looking behind me at our other squad member, Welrich. Welrich was a tall, bulky RACast in a full set of new shiny Colossus armor, colored a dark red, wielding an Alba Beam. He threw his head back and laughed, “Yeah, and while you’re at it, get out of that dusty Dista type armor and upgrade to something that isn’t as old as half your circuitry, boss.”

“You two might keep getting on my case about that, but last time I checked…” I tilted my head to the side as I patted my Alba Laser, “I still kick both of your tin cans in the firing range, the leadership trials, the general obstacle course…Oh, and Welrich?” I pointed at a rock ahead and to the right of me, “WHY AREN’T YOU THERE YET, SOLDIER!? MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!”

“Ah, shi-” Welrich fussed as he took off at a trot towards the spot I had designated. I shook my head and looked at Castor again, “So…about this unit we’re reinforcing?”

“Er…right. Well, all four of them are Newman…two forces, two hunters…man; those frail little things love their forces and high mobility fighters…why are they all Newman anyway?”

“The same reason we’re a group of all Cast Rangers; we understand each other better, and Casts and guns go together as well as Newmans and techs. Now, continue?”

“Eh…that’s a fair point. Anyway. Three of these Arks aren’t really anything special…no outstanding service, no awards, no special declarations…nothing to make them stick out, or seem all that important.”

“You know, Castor, the other races don’t usually place as high a value on being efficient and decorated as we do, normally. They have lives, families, significant others, things like that. I’m asking who they are, not whether or not they’re worth our time.”

“Uh…right, right…you’re right, of course, it’s just easy to forget sometimes…” He chuckled, “Same old boss; you always were a little bit more aware of the other races than a lot of us.”

I shrugged, “I've worked in a lot of mixed units, before. You’ll get used to it as you move outside all cast squads and your comfort zone expands. Anyway, let’s stop sitting here, talk as we go.”

The two of us stood and began walking forward, the rock walls on either side of us looming, the snow falling gently. It was a cloudy, overcast day. I motioned for Welrich to follow, and he fell in behind us.

“Anyway…their leader is interesting. Name: Cornelia Allen. Race: Newman. Height is 193cm. Bust size: - ”

“Castor!”

“What!?”

“Tact?”

“What! They could be useful for spotting her! She’s 42F! That’s big, right?”

I stopped and covered my face with my palm, and shook my head, “Yes, they’re huge, but that’s beside the point. That’s not something you generally use as an identifier.”

“Why?”

“TACT. It’s considered rude, more often than not.”

“…Oh…..so that’s why that woman slapped me when I asked her about her breasts last week.”

I looked back at Castor, dumbfounded. Shaking my head, I started walking again. “Just…just tell me what Ms. Allen is like…”

“Er…right. Motherly personality…Enthusiastic…she can be very caring…that sort of thing.”

I nodded my head as we continued, “So, I’m assuming she’s one of the forces?”

“Nah, Hunter.”

“Huh…doesn’t sound like the usual traits of a Hunter…”

Then Welrich broke in, “Who cares? So long as she’s hot. We might even get a ‘reward’ afterward for helping them out.”

I stopped and turned towards Welrich, banging the palm of my hand up against the left side of his head, “We. Don’t. Do. Things. That. Way. We’re not here so you can get a nice view of some woman’s tits, am I understood? We’re here to help people. Say it slowly now; Heeeelp. Peopleeeee. We do not go “Okay, I saved your life, so flash ‘em, lady.” THAT is reserved for sleaze balls and worms, soldier! Now tell me, are you a sleaze ball, or a worm, Welrich!?”

He froze, “Uh…er….n-no, Enforcer…”

“What’s that, Welrich? I. CAN’T. HEAR. YOU!”

“SIR, NO SIR! I AM NOT A SLEAZE BALL, OR A WORM, SIR!”

“You’re damn right you’re not!” I yelled, jabbing my finger against Welrich’s chest, “YOU are an Arks CAST rifleman! You do not need to see a woman’s tits. You have your rifle, and you have your orders! Those are the only things you need! Am I right, soldier!?”

“SIR, YES SIR, YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, SIR!”

“Mm-hm, damn right I am. Now move it out!”

I smacked Welrich in the back of the head as he ran past, and shook my head, “Idiot.”

The snow began to fall more heavily as we continued on, “Honestly, Welrich has a long way to go…he definitely needs to shape up.”

Castor shrugged, “That’s just how he is.”

“A pervert?”

“…among other things.”

I shook my head, “Yeah, well, I’m going to kick his tin can into shape whether he likes it or not. He’s under my command, now. Just because he thinks he’s a hotshot doesn’t mean he is.”

“Have fun with that, boss.”

Suddenly, a beeping went off, and I clapped my left hand against the side of my head. “There’s the beacon for their location. It’s close.” I sent the location to both Castor and Welrich, as the wind began to pick up.

“Castor! Welrich! Our orders are simple: find the group that requested assistance and lend them any help they need! They’re just up ahead! Now, let’s show them how CASTs do things! MOVE OUT, RANGERS! GO! GO! GO!”

I set off, Castor and Welrich behind me, running towards the beacon’s origin.

Nice work. Make me wonder what Yoshiblue would be like as a CAST?

[Ce'Nedra]

So is this last chapter a flashback or something? I mean I thought Cornelia was kidnapped and now shes requesting backup, doesn't seem right ^^;

So is this last chapter a flashback or something? I mean I thought Cornelia was kidnapped and now shes requesting backup, doesn't seem right ^^;

It is a flashback indeed, but Cornelia can't be rescued when they dont know where she is, right?

[Ce'Nedra]

I didn' t see any flashback mentioned at the beginning so it was a bit confusing D;

This is what is introducing the flashback :P

looking good, can't wait to read the next entry.

[Enforcer MKV]

Interlude & Flashback: Part IV

[SPOILER-BOX]Updated! I know this is an important chunk of history for Cornelia as well, so if you have any issue with it, just let me know, okay, Cornelia?[/SPOILER-BOX]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We reached a fissure in the wall, large enough for a Newman, but not exactly the ideal size for someone of say…Welrich’s bulk. I placed my right hand on the rock face, sliding my rifle onto my back first.

“Yeah…Welrich? There’s no way your thick hide would fit in there.”

“Hmmph! Aren’t you funny, Saying I’m too – “

“Oh, shut up, Welrich, I’m being serious. This is way too small for you to – “

Suddenly, there was a roar from the other side of the opening, the faint sound of wires whipping through the air, and techs…mostly fire. The noise they made as they sailed through the air was iconic. Then a girl’s scream broke out over the other noises.

“Castor, get through this crack and find out what the hell is going on in there! Welrich, wait thirty ticks and then blow this damn wall open! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!”

The two casts cried “YES, SIR!” in unison before Castor slid into the space, disappearing. Welrich, in turn, backed away and pulled out an Alba Tagvalve.

Ten seconds passed. Then twenty seconds. Twenty five seconds passed, and suddenly the sound of Castor’s rifle firing could be heard. I quickly backed up and kneeled, before pointing at Welrich.

“Welrich, do it!”

In response, the lumbering cast cheered “Hell yes, Sir!” before digging his footpads into the snowy dirt, and yanking hard on a lever on the side of the launcher, firing a trio of shots at the wall. The blasts from the launcher impacted against the rock wall, the first two cracking and weakening the wall, the third one breaking it. I jumped up, and swept my left arm in an arc in front of me. “Move it soldier, move!”

Welrich switched back to his rifle and quickly stomped through, and I followed. The scene on the other side was….bad. Two Newmans, and male and female, were both face down in the snow, their rods lying next to them. A second male Newman was sitting against the nearby wall, his head low, like he was dead or unconscious. Castor was a distance ahead, flanking a Snow Banther, with a tall female Newman with a Turquoise ponytail taking it head on. She was by far the tallest of the Newmans there.

“193cm…” I mumbled to myself before pointing to Welrich, “Welrich, flank that cat from the right, support Castor and the Newman as best you can.” Before he stomped off, I grabbed him by a gap in his shoulder armor and pulled him close. “And no rewards.”

He grumbled as I let go and allowed him to run off in the direction of the Banther. I looked to my right and trudged over to the closest injured, a Newy in a blue robe, face down in the snow. I kneeled down and rolled her towards me, propping her up with my right arm. “Oi…Oi! Can you hear me?”

The front of her robes were ripped by a giant claw, and stained red. She slowly opened her eyes, her face lacking color from either blood lose or the cold. “wh-who…??”

“Enforcer MkX, I’m an Ark, just like you. Here – this should help with the pain.”

I pulled a Dimate and tilted the drink into her mouth. “Listen to me – you’re going to be okay. My men and I are going to make sure of that. We’ll get you out of here. I promise.” I lifted her up out of the snow and carried her over to the rock wall before collecting the other Force in the same manner.

“BOSS! LOOK OUT!” I looked up just in time to see a green Hunewearl flying towards me. I jumped to my feet and threw my arms open, “I got her!” She flew into me and we both went tumbling through the snow. I ended up on my back with my vision being obstructed, something soft pressing against my face. “Uh…hello?” I asked, my voice muffled.

“K-kyaaaa~!” The woman pushed off of me, and sat on her knees, straddling my legs. I pushed myself up into a sitting position and finally got to see her face to face, her arms covering her bust, her Tiger Pierce matching her hair color.

“Ms. Allen, I presume?” I wondered, rubbing my hand against my head.

“Yes…Are you the support we requested?” She glanced away, her wide white eyes reflecting the snow, ears flapping. It struck me how pretty her face was.

“Yes, that’s us, ma’am. Enforcer MkX and company, at your service.”

“Enforcer…”

“Are you okay, ma’am?”

“…Ah! Yes, I-I’m fine!” She tried to stand up, but stumbled and fell forward. She clutched her head, “Ooooooow…”

“Ma’am? I think you’re not as fine as you say.” I pulled myself back and stood up before helping Cornelia to her feet. It was then I realized that she was actually taller than I was. It made sense – I myself only stood 190cm.

“Anyway. I took care of your allies and – Ms. Allen, look out!” I shoved her out of the way as the Fang Banther lunged, which led to it pinning me against the ground with its paw.

“Boss! BOSS!!!” It was Castor, “Get your mangy hide off of Enforcer, you fleabag! Welrich, fire at will, fire at will!” I could see the two of them, firing at the Tundra cat’s rear haunches. I wrapped my hands around the claws pressing down on me and tried in vain to push the Banther’s paw off of me. It simply roared and pressed down harder on me. I felt my frame begin to crack.

“If…you’re going…to do something…Do it…quickly!” I wasn’t sure if I was talking to the Banther or to Castor and Welrich. Then, I heard a somewhat new yell.

“Enforcer? Enforcer!” I looked to my right and saw Cornelia scramble to her feet, still holding her head, “Ooooow, that hurt you jerk…” She looked up and realized I was being crushed.

“H-hold on, Enforcer!” She took a pair of Jagriath Wired Lances off her hips and ran towards the Banther.

“M-Ms. Allen, think about what you’re doing for a –“

“I am!” She jumped at the last moment and landed on the back of the Banther.

“W-what the hell is she…?” A moment later I saw the Wired Lances fly out from behind either side of the mane of the Banther, the wires wrapping around its neck. The HUnewearl jumped off the back of the Banther and began trying to pull it off of me and away from the rock wall where the other Newmans were.

I stretched my right hand towards her, “I…idiot! There’s no way you’ll be able to pull this thing off of –”

“J-just watch me!” She gasped as she strained against the beast, trying to bring the creature closer to herself. With a powerful yank, she finally managed to pull the creature off of me, making it unbalanced.

I quickly got on one knee and gasped “The legs, Rangers! Aim for the legs!” Before pulling my rifle off my back and firing at the leg that a moment ago had me pinned to the ground. Finally, the Banther roared and slumped face first into the snow. Slowly, I got to my feet. My chest sparked. Placing a hand against the sparking panel, I made my way over to Ms. Allen.

“That was…pretty reckless right now, you know...Thanks.”

The HUnewearl, who had her hands on her knees and was breathing heavily, looked up and smiled, “It worked, right? You weren’t bad yourself – besides not really doing anything, that is.” She finished with a breathless laugh.

I turned and looked at the Banther before bowing my head and shaking it, “Yeah…maybe I am getting too old for this…” I looked up and called to Castor and Welrich, “Oi, you two start getting those Newmans ready to be moved!”

Ms. Allen frowned, “My, my~ I was kidding. You helped me, too.”

I looked at her, “You must still be joking. I was totally useless out there!”

She stood up straight, a disapproving look in her eyes, “It wasn’t your fault; besides, you really were helpful, you helped out my teammates!”

“I spent the majority of my time in the fight under its damn paw! How is that helpful!?”

The two of us continued arguing; meanwhile, Castor was watching the spectacle, with a mixture of disbelief and amusement. “Wait, wait, wait, Enforcer is actually arguing with someone? Are you seein’ this Welrich?”

Welrich looked up, “Seeing it? I’m freaking hearing it! Whatever, just so long as I get my turn with her after Enforcer finishes: that Newman is freaking sexy! Curves in all the right places and everything!”

Castor stopped and looked at Welrich, “You really are hopeless, you know that?” the blue Cast deadpanned.

“What!?”

“Can you even…No, actually, don’t answer that. I don’t. want. to know. Just help me with the wounded here…” Castor shook his head and knelt down, checking the pulse of the male Hunter. Meanwhile, Ms. Allen and I were finally beginning to cool down.

I pressed my hands against my visor, “Okay, okay, hold on. I need to regain my composure…I’m sure I only got upset because of damage to one of my systems…I don’t usually get so heated with people…” I let my hands drop, and took a few steps away from the Newman, turning away from her.

Ms. Allen, still a bit annoyed at me, walked over to the Snow Banther and nudged its claw with her foot. The next thing I heard was a roar and a scream. Turning on the spot, I saw the green haired Newman’s back hit the snow, her hands clapped over the left side of her face, rolling back and forth from the pain, a split down the front of her outfit.

“CASTOR! WELRICH! SUPPRESSING!” I ran over to Ms. Allen and grabbed her under the arms in order to drag her away from the Banther as the sound of Castor’s and Welrich’s rifles echoed. The Tundra cat was distracted by the fire from my allies, and I was able to pull her away safely. I knelt next to her and propped her up with my left arm. She struggled as I tried to move her hands, which were still clapped over the left half of her face.

“N-no! You’ll s-see them! Stooooooop! E-Enforcer is a perveeeeeeeert!!!”

“What the hell are you saying, dammit, I’m trying to check your face!”

“B-but…” Her right eye glanced down, her hands still over the left side of her face. I looked down, and realized what she was complaining about. The Banther had swiped, hitting both her face and the front of her outfit. The front of her clothes had a giant rip down the middle, threatening to reveal all of her bust. Her arms were positioned in such a way that she was pressing the front of her outfit together while still holding her face. I looked away quickly upon realizing this.

“Ma’am, I understand where you’re coming from, but I need to check your face! Hurry and move your arms!”

There was a pause, “…O-okay…” I glanced back and saw her right arm hugging her breasts, covering them. Her left hand was still pressed against her face, and tears were running down her right cheek, presumably from the pain. I shook my head.

“Well, now that the –”

“BOSS! INCOMING!!”

I looked up and saw the Banther rushing towards us. It leapt.

“Shi-” I went from a kneeling to a prone position as I pulled Ms. Allen close, and watched as the Banther sailed through the air above us, landing in the snow several feet away. I jumped to my feet and threw the Newy over my left shoulder, an accompanying “Hyaaah!?” coming from her.

“CASTOR! WELRICH! KEEP THAT THING BUSY, DAMMIT!”

The two Casts ran towards us as I ran towards the rock wall. Welrich jeered, “Hey, Enforcer, think you can smack her ass for me once?”

“Welrich, shut up and shoot that Banther before I shoot you!”

I made it to the rock wall and set Ms. Allen down lightly. “Sorry about that, Ma’am.”

She grumbled something as she panted.

I knelt down again, “Really, I’m sorry. Now let me see your face, okay?”

She looked up, and slowly removed her hand. A Banther had left a gash on the left side of her face. Her eye was closed and there was a lot of blood. I slowly placed my right hand against the left side of her face. Shaking my head slowly, I mumbled, “Such a shame…your face…”

She blushed, “E-eh?”

“It’s a shame that such a pretty face was damaged in such a way…this will definitely leave a scar…” I queued a cloth, and it appeared in my left hand, “This might sting a bit, ma’am.”

She winced as I wiped the blood off of her face. “O-oooooow!”

“Just bear with it for a little longer – I’m almost done.”

“F-fine…ow!”

“Sorry.”

“…You’re really nice, for a Cast.”

“And you’re really tall and physically powerful for a female Newman. Funny how those race stereotypes don’t always fit, yeah?”

“…Yeah!” A broad smile spread across her face, despite the pain she was probably in. She winced, “OW-OW-OW-OW!” I found myself suppressing the urge to laugh at the face she made. Having the urge to laugh was odd, considering the severity of the situation. Tilting my head to the left, I finished wiping the blood off of her face. Thankfully, there wasn’t any new bleeding occurring, so she wasn’t in danger of dying from blood loss. The bloody cloth disappeared from my hand and I stood up.

“Alright, now that I’ve gotten you cleaned up, it’s time to get you out of here.”

I pulled out a telepipe and threw it onto the ground. A green column of light appeared, only to disappear a few seconds later.

“…That’s not good.” Ms. Allen and I both said in unison. We looked at one another. I tilted my head as she looked away. Looking up at the sky, which still had snow falling heavily, I wondered aloud. “I suppose it has something to do with the weather, then?”

Just then, the wind picked up, blowing the snow around. “…Typical.” I looked back at the ponytailed Hunter, who had both her arms over her chest. “Don’t worry, I already know what we’ll do. I’ll get Castor and Welrich to get you and your team out of here, and then when you get to a clear patch, you’ll telepipe out.”

She looked up as I turned and walked towards the Banther, which was focused on Castor and Welrich. “W-wait! What about you?”

I stopped and looked back. “Isn’t it obvious?” I pointed towards the Banther, “I’m taking that thing down.”

“Wh-What!? By yourself!? That’s crazy!” She tried to stand, but wobbled and fell back into the snow.

“You need to rest; you lost a fair amount of blood. It isn’t life threaten by itself, but if you try to exert yourself too much, it could lead to exhaustion…among other things.”

“But you’re hurt too!”

I looked down at my torso; it was covered in cracks. An indicator on my visor’s HUD showed a yellow diamond that was usually green. A single word existed within the diamond in white letters: DANGER.

“…I’m fine. What’s important right now is getting you and your allies out of here. Castor and Welrich will be over shortly to take care of you all.” I took a few more steps before stopping again. “And if Welrich tries anything on you, you have my permission to hit him – hard.”

She looked like she wanted to fight more, but I suppose the blood lose actually took a lot out of her, so she listened. I walked in the direction of the Banther, and yelled.

“Castor! Welrich! Change of plans! The telepipe is shafted in this weather! Get the four Newmans to a safe location, and then get your tin cans out of here with them!”

Castor looked at me. “What!? Don’t tell me you’re going to take this thing on alone!”

“That’s exactly it. Now I gave you an order, soldier! Move!”

Castor looked at the Banther, then to me, and then at the Newmans. He shook his head, and then, along with Welrich, ran in my direction.

The pair ran past me, and the Banther turned. “Ooooh, no you don’t.” I quickly took a knee and fired a charged bolt at the Banther, striking it in the nose. It roared and focused its attention on me. I quickly ran to the left to put distance between us and the wounded. The sound of gunshots was quickly swallowed by the wind as I moved around, firing at the Tundra cat. I rolled out of the way of a swipe, and fell into a crouch, aiming my rifle at the Banther.

“Just have to buy enough time for them to get away…” The image of Ms. Allen rocking side to side on her back flashed across my face, and I tightened my grip on my rifle as I stared the Banther down. Why did it bug me so much? I’d seen much worse. People killed in front of me, people hurt badly. I slammed my left hand against the side of my head and got to my feet before firing at the Banther. It was probably just a system error. I’d get everything in order after we got back. I rolled to the left as the Banther pounced at me, and quickly collected myself.

The Banther ran at me, and I calmly shot it in its eyes. The creature roared and slid, its face falling forward into the snow. I turned and looked towards the rock wall. The six of them were nowhere to be seen. I nodded my head. “Good…good…” The Tundra cat stirred, grabbing my attention again. It roared, and pounced at me. I took two steps and dropped, sliding under the Banther as it leapt over me. I got to my feet and turned just in time to see the Banther leap at me again. It landed in the snow, bringing its claw down, digging into my chest armor. There was the horrible sound of my front being compromised, and static washed across my vision. I stumbled back, but kept my footing. That diamond that was a steady yellow before was now a pulsing red. I felt an electric current running along the outside of my left arm, and my entire frame shuttered.

The Tundra cat moved to attack me again, and without thinking, I swung my left arm at it, striking it in the nose. The Banther roared in pain as it was electrocuted. It reared back before finally slumping over, motionless. I looked down at the Cat’s form, and signed, shaking my head. Quietly, I walked up to it, and patted his nose.

“…Rest, now. Peacefully, I hope.”

I slowly backed up, and began walking out of the area we’d been fighting in, through the hole in the wall that Welrich had made, all of the noise coming from the wind, the snow still falling heavily. I eventually found a lone telepipe humming quietly in the snow, the wind gone, the snow falling much lighter than it had before. With one final look around, I stepped into the telepipe, and upon reaching the campship, was immediately flanked by Ms. Allen, who was upset.

“What were you thinking, doing something like that by yourself? Your chest...What happened to your chest!?”

I quietly looked…up at her. It still struck me as odd that she was taller than me, simply because I wasn’t particularly short. “I’m fine.”

“Th-that’s not a good answer!”

I sighed, “Fine, fine…I’m tired, so let me rest for a bit.” I quietly trudged to the next compartment and fell into one of the chairs, thankful for a comfortable seat to rest in.

Two days later, I found myself standing outside the Hospital that Ms. Allen was staying at. I sighed. “Why am I even here? I guess I was…worried about her?” I walked in and asked the receptionist where the Newy was staying, and she told me. Walking down the hall, I stopped at the door to Ms. Allen’s room, which was open, and heaved a sigh before stepping inside.

“…How are you doing?”

The memory faded at that point. I awoke with a start and looked around the room "I" was in right now.

“……Cornelia……”

[Enforcer MKV]

Side-Story Short: Poolside Blues (Note: Craziness WILL happen.)

Location: The Pool. Anyone ready for a dip?

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!” Cornelia yelled, holding the front of her bikini up, the ties in the back undone. “I’m going to hurt you!!!”

I jumped up out of the poolside chair, and backed up. “Wh-what the hell did I even do!?”

“Nothing!”

I stared at her, dumbfounded a moment. “Wait…what? Then why the hell are you threatening me!?”

“Because this is a side story and I don’t have to be completely in Character!” A smile spread across her face, and I realized this was a bad place to be. I backed up several paces, before turning on my heel and running away, Cornelia chasing me.

“C-Can’t we just talk about this for a minute?”

“No!”

“Shouldn’t you at least tie your top back up!?”

“NO!!”

“…Well, then.”

We ran along the edge of the pool, until the lifeguard blew his whistle at us. “Oi! You two over there! Stop having a Lover’s spat!”

We both skid to a halt and yelled at the lifeguard, “WE AREN’T LOVERS!!!!!” The lifeguard, in response, hid behind a crate.

“I…I’m sorry…”

I stared for a moment. “Wait, why is there just a random crate sitting here?”

I walked over to the crate, and poked it. It shook.

“W-what the!?” I poked the crate again, and it scurried away. “Since when could crates scurry...no, really, why the hell is that thing moving!?”

Suddenly, one side of the crate lifted slightly, and a familiar black haired girl poked her head out.

“…Hello, Serizawa.”

She looked up at me, and we stared at each other for about ten seconds, before she finally yelled “GANDAM!” and disappeared back underneath the crate. I could hear her grumbling about not wanting her picture taken from within the container. Suddenly, she scurried off, away from the pool.

“…That was extremely odd.”

Someone tapped my shoulder, and I felt a murderous aura from behind me.

“…This can’t be good. Uh…C-Cornelia…?”

“Ufufufu~ Yes, En?”

“…So it is you. Gotcha.” I immediately broke out into a run, getting a fair distance between her and me.

“H-heyyyy! Enforcer MkX, you get back here!!! D:<” (yes, the emote stays.)

“What, and let you clobber me for no good reason? NO!”

“I have a reason!”

“What!? Why, then!?”

“BECAUSE I WANT TO!”

“….Well, then.”

We continued running around, the eyes of the many other pool goers set firmly on the girl who was holding her bikini up with her arm (Seriously. Tie that damn thing up, Cornelia!) while chasing a refrigerator. No one noticed the glint coming from the tree line.

I finally turned a corner and was met with a dead end. “O-Oooooooooh, no. This isn’t good.”

“Oh, Eeeeeeeeen~” A voice cooed softly behind me.

I looked up at the sky and mumbled, “Ah, crap.” Before turning around.

“Hi, En~ Ufufufu~” She had her hands behind her back. She looked almost…sweet.

“Heh…well, it’s nice to see you have your bikini tied on again.”

“Isn’t it?” She smiled as she took a few steps towards me.

“R-right, so…what’s up?” I was really worried about what she’d do when she got close.

“Noooothing. <3 Ufufufu~”

She took another two steps towards me, when something caught her attention.

“Eh-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?”

I turned around and realized there was a rather small girl sitting on one of the limbs of a tree. She had bright green hair, and was in a red RAnewy outfit. She stood up, and leapt off the branch towards Cornelia.

“BOOBIES!” The small Newman clung to Cornelia’s chest and buried her head in the much taller (and bustier) Newman’s breasts. Cornelia, in response, began flailing her arms, and screaming.

“AAAAH! WH-what is it! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That tickles!! N-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! KYAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! E-EN! H-H-HELP ME!!! NYAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The ponytailed Newman stumbled backwards, and the two Newmans fell into the pool with a “Kyaaaaaaa!”

I stared, completely at a loss for words. I walked over to the edge of the pool, and watched for a moment, Cornelia splashing around in the water, the smaller Newman (Calai) still clinging to her bust. Covering my face with my hand, I shook my head, and began walking towards the hotel, grumbling.

“My head hurts….I think I’ll lay down for a bit.”

.

.

.

A short walk later, I fell face-first onto the bed. “This feels so nice…”

There was a knock on the door. I grumbled and pushed myself off the bed before walking over to the door and opening it. I was met with a dripping wet Cornelia, still in her bikini, Calai still clinging to her chest.

I folded my arms. “Sexy!” I quipped, my voice thick with sarcasm.

Cornelia’s eye twitched, “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen…” She fumed as she raised her fist, which shook in anger.

“Ooooooooh, shi-” I quickly turned on my heels and sprinted across the room, jumping out of the third story balcony. Cornelia, with Calai still clinging to her bust, followed.

“WHY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?” I yelled as we both fell.

Precisely why it's a side story.

This is just me having fun.

But yeah. Fun fun fun XD

[Skye-Fox713]

very nice little side story, kinda reminded me of full metal panic fumofu

[CelestialBlade]

Gotta have a pool scene :wacko:

...though how you kept Ce'Nedra out is a mystery >_>

*never going to a pool ever o_o*

Oi...she has feelings too you know. Though no worries, she will drag YOU to a pool ufufufuf~

You never had Calai with you as NPC when you level up I bet xD

[Enforcer MKV]

More Music! Some of these I'm pairing with characters and events, so....yeah, some of these will be linked. ^^

Resolve of the Enforcer
[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np3bhsxJPkA[/SPOILER-BOX]
This is NOT meant to be En's 'true theme' that I have posted in my sig. I imagine Enforcer weighing his options quietly to himself (He's in his Hunter outfit btw, with a Lambda Aristin) before finally realizing the only way he'll be able to progress is by cutting everything down, and in turn he jumps into the fray with his Sword, ready to fight.

Cornelia's theme
[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snPnUtkyrmc[/SPOILER-BOX]
I wanted something upbeat but elegant for this, because that's how I view the character: As a high mobility fighter who has an air of grace around her (usually). I imagine her bouncing between enemies with a grin on her face, fully confident in her own abilities to fight. The slow section offers a retrospective on certain past events, like the Tundra incident.

Who are you!?
[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1kjxGr_xQw[/SPOILER-BOX]
I can't say much about this, but for this I basically imagine Enforcer running from...something, bounding over obstacles in his path, occasionally shooting behind him with a gunslash, until he reaches a dead end. Reluctantly he flicks his Gunslash to saber mode, and turns to face his pursuer.

The Will to Continue
[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSH-_ScN6G0[/SPOILER-BOX]
This is, more or less, the song I imagine playing as En deals with his grief. Being towards losing Cornelia or otherwise. He finally decides that all he can do at the moment is raise his head and move forward.

[mommy_cornelia]

Liking the music

you sure have a thing for Epic-like songs hmm? :P

Somewhat surprised that you haven't written up a story regarding storms of flipped tables.

[gigawuts]

AND I SHALL BE THE ONE TO FLIP THEM.

I AM PROGRAMMED TO FLIP. BEEP BOOP.

Unless En is flipping them, in which case I am programmed to set them upright again so he can flip them again. Beep boop.

[CelestialBlade]

Only if I get to surf on the flipped tables.

So when does Wayu make a cameo? Gotta ship them all.

Did you see the side story? Serizawa is Wayu's character.

I've been bested. Oh well, carry on.

[Enforcer MKV]

Few more pieces. Sorry I haven't posted more story yet, the Semester is winding down, so I'm pretty busy between that and my job. Hopefully I get hired on full time after the holiday season. @_@

(I'll definitely update these if I find something better)

Clockwork Soldier girl (Hivernia's Theme)
[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDvuTTZ2OA8[/SPOILER-BOX]
I tried to find something that sounded mechanical and structured, since the Character is supposed to be pragmatic and, well, mechanized. That being said, I still wanted something that 'rang' and felt upbeat, because I imagine there's a lot of Hivernia that she doesn't let people see. I might change this if I find something more suited to her 'sniper' persona, though.

Gotta love the Guns! (Farrid's theme)
[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvUNpfp0fag[/SPOILER-BOX]
I imagined Farrid playing this on a Guitar while listening to it - seemed to fit. Nice and upbeat. I imagine Farrid as being a serious 'soldier girl' while on the field, but being somewhat bubbly and fun outside of battle. Not so much a wise-ass, but a positive thinker.


I added a slight explanation of each piece to my last music post on the previous page, so be sure to check that again.

Have this play along in the background of your side-stories.

and....more music. I think I'll take a break from writing and focus on finishing the semester. I might pick it up before that, but I'm definitely going to go slower for a little bit. @_@

[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9XMd2eAy_4[/SPOILER-BOX]

I'm telling you, this music is just tense. Not really scary, just ominous.

[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIgR-SU7EN8[/SPOILER-BOX]

Not really "Meant" for any specific part of my story, I just liked this piece and thought I'd share it.

[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQqJ7cBfghM[/SPOILER-BOX]

Same with this piece. I'm aware of the fact that most of my posted music has a lot of grandeur in them, and some people just like something a little bit more happy and less "Epic" so to say. This is for all of those people.

I'm telling you, this music is just tense. Not really scary, just ominous.

Honestly, if you're interested in having your character in the story, just PM me a dossier. Just use the skeleton I posted a few pages back.

And make sure you PM it to me. Don't just post it in the thread.

And that applies to anyone. Be warned though: I can't guarantee I'll get everyone in, if I get a lot (Who am I kidding, I doubt that many people even read this.)

I think i'll do just that, I would love to see JOE as a Cameo and or as a reoccurring character in this story.

[Ce'Nedra]

Still waiting patiently for Nedra to appear, I remember you said you had an idea for her :3

[Enforcer MKV]

Finally found the song I want for Enforcer's main theme.

Let There Be Light!

[SPOILER-BOX]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcvhK7ukmek[/SPOILER-BOX]

The tune starts out quiet, more gentle, showing the kindness that I always envisioned for him. (and most of my characters, honestly.) But the tune turns more serious, showing the shift in his personality when the fighting starts. I wanted a tune that really rocked, and kept an upbeat, hopeful feeling. The biggest thing I wanted was for it have bits that really had hope intertwined, because I feel like that's a big thing for the character: especially since he still wants to find someone important to him that's been taken by force.

He wants her back, and he's going to fight like hell to see that happen.

[Wayu]

With Ce'Nedra I just got a ton of redheads.

In light of recent events, I just have one thing to say to everyone: Let's just chill.

No, really, listen to this song and chill.

[Enforcer MKV]

Interlude & Flashback: Part V

I flexed my hand. “Romance, huh…? No. Maybe I was interested for a time, but I already know there’s no point to pursuing a relationship…She’s not even interested in men…” I covered my face with my hands and chuckled to myself, “Besides, even if she were…it’d be a bit weird being with a Cast, wouldn’t it? Can’t have kids, can’t even kiss…” I tilted my head, wondering what had gotten into me so suddenly. Remaining silent, I powered down again, and tried to sleep – albeit a more restless sleep than I’d had in a long while.

A few days later, I sat in my room on my bed, in full Dista armor, looking out the window at the inky blackness of space. There was a knock.

“It’s unlocked, you can come in.”

It was Castor.

“Hey Boss. Heard about what happened. How are ya…?”

I stood up and placed my hands on my hips. “Everything is still running correctly, can’t really complain.”

“…I meant Allen.”

My head dropped slightly, “I suppose I’ll be asked that for a bit, won’t I?” I sat down on the bed and propped my head up with my left hand. “I’m fine. Not happy, not good. Just fine. I let an ally down and because of it she was captured by the enemy. I’m taking that about as well as can be expected.”

He looked at me quietly for a moment, “Isn’t that a little too impersonal for you, boss? I mean, weren’t you two…uh…what’s the term for it? ‘Close?’”

I glanced at him, “About as close as two soldiers who’ve fought together for a long time can get.”

He folded his arms, “Aren’t you….what was it…‘beating around the shrub?’”

“Bush, Castor. Beating around the bush.”

“Yeah, that. Still, didn’t you spend a lot of time with her outside of missions? Doesn’t that typically mean something? I mean, I thought the two of ya were a…a pair?”

I looked at him, “I think you mean couple. And no. We weren’t ‘that’ close.”

He cocked his head to the side, “And yet ya always go on and on about her when we got together to catch up.”

“That’s just because she’s good at what she does.”

“Ya mean making your alternator skip a cycle?”

“Cute, Castor. I mean fighting; she’s good at fighting.”

Castor looked around the room; it’d been a while since he’d last stopped by. “Ya know, from everything I hear, it sounds like you two would make a nice couple.”

I looked down at the floor, and sighed, “…Would we now? Interesting.”

“Yeah, boss. Ya get along, ya enjoy being around her, all that good stuff. Hey, is she still as nice looking as when we got her away from that Snow Banther?”

I picked up a pad next to me, and quietly flicked through the holographic screen for a few second before muttering. “…More so.”

He sat down next to me. “See? See?” He nudged me, “You get along, and she’s pretty.”

I sighed, “None of that matters right now, considering she’s been captured by the enemy.”

Castor’s shoulders fell, “Well…well, yeah…”

Still flipping through the pad, I continued, “That being said, I will bring her back. The Darkers have never taken prisoners before, why take one now just to kill them? No, they have something planned…and that worries me. Greatly. At least that means I have time.”

“To do what, Boss?”

“Figure out a way to find her.”

He stared at me, “How are you going to…?”

“I don’t know yet, that’s why I need time to figure it out.”

“Right, right…”

Just then, there was a pair of beeping noises. Castor and I each lifted a hand and clapped it against the side of our respective heads.

“This is Enforcer. Go ahead.”

“Castor here. What’s up?”

Alexandria chirped in my ear, “Enforcer, Daryl wants to talk to you in the CIC at your earliest convenience.”

“Acknowledged Command. Tell Daryl I’ll be there soon – within the next 30 minutes.”

“Understood, Enforcer. Command, out.”

I lowered my hand and looked at Castor, who had just finished his call. “You too?”

He nodded, “I’m supposed to go to the armory, ASAP.”

“I’m heading to the CIC. Guess I’ll catch you later.”

“Yeah.” Castor quickly walked to the door, but stopped, and looked back, “Don’t get in over your head, Boss.” Then he left.

I mumbled quietly to myself, “Yeah…you too, Castor. Stay safe.”

Taking a short look around my room, I left and headed towards the CIC. A few minutes later, I stepped into the Command center, Daryl facing a holographic map, his hands behind his back, and his back to me.

“You wanted to speak to me, Commander?” I asked, stopping a few paces away from him.

“Yes…Yes, I did. Thank you for being so prompt, Enforcer.” He slowly turned around, picking a pad off of the table the map originated. “I took the liberty…” he tapped a button on the pad, “of finding you your new squad mate.” He threw the pad to me, which I caught in my left hand. “…Hope you don’t mind. I know things are probably still tough for you right now. I figured this was the least I could do.”

I looked down at the pad. The portrait of a young, female, green-haired Newman stared back at me. I started mumbling to myself. “Name: Laika Calai Banawa. Age: 19. Height: approximately 150cm…Huh, on the short side, that’s good for remaining undetected… Bust size, 30b… won’t have to worry about them getting in the way, at least…waist size, hip size; both irrelevant…”

I looked up, “You do realize she’s not a part of this squad until I say she is, right? I’m going to have to talk to her and see her abilities for myself.”

The Commander folded his arms and cocked one of his eyebrows, “Pretty ballsy saying that to one of the Commanders, don’t you think, Squad Leader?”

“You might dictate who leads the Squads, and where they go, but in terms of who’s in the squad? That’s the SL’s decision. You’re not going to be working with them; I am.”
Daryl grinned, “Well, it’s good to see you’re still as defiant as ever, En. I was worried you’d be unfit for duty after what happened.”

Looking back down at the pad, I tapped a few buttons, shutting it off, “Don’t. I’m sure you have enough on your plate already. You don’t have to babysit me; I can take care of myself.” I paused a moment, “…Is that everything? I have a lot I have to take care of, myself.”

I realized how rude I sounded and hastily added, “Er….sir.”

The Commader smiled and waved it off, “You’re stressed. I know. Just…try to get some rest, En. It won’t do Cornelia any good if you start messing up because of this. You’re dismissed.”

“Yes sir, very good sir.” I turned on my heel and left, not very sure of what to do today. The time of day in the Residential section may have been shown by an artificial sun, but the counter, the spaceport, and the other military sections of the ship had only the void that was space for company, a rather lifeless reminder that a great many of us were just a few broken panels away from suffocating.

Not that I had to worry about such a fate – I didn’t breathe. Still, to think that a good deal of the people I worked with were willing to risk themselves by fighting when they were so fragile was…sobering. Cornelia, Farrid, and probably this Calai woman as well. I felt…an overwhelming urge to protect them from this frailty. After all, parts are easier to replace then flesh is to mend. Some people mistook this for sexism, because it was most often females that I’d go to great lengths to protect, but it simply stemmed from the fact that they were flesh and blood. I felt no great desire to protect Hivernia, for example, as bad as that might sound.

I snapped out of my inner monologue and realized I was outside my room. Just before I opened the door and stepped in, I heard yelling from inside. Quickly slamming my back against the wall to the left of the door, I pulled a rifle and quickly readied it as I thought to myself.

“Enemies? That masked man had yelled something about getting back at me. Did this have to do with it?”

Reaching out, I tapped a button on the door, opening it. I took one final moment to ready myself as I spun around to run into my room, rifle raised…

…only to have a blue haired hunter run smack into me, sending him back as I just stood there, my rifle pointed at him. He curled up, covering his head with his arms.

“AAAAAAAAAAAH, I’M SORRY HONEY, I WAS JUST LEAVING TO COME MEET YOU! DON’T HURT MEEEEEEEE!”

I stared as I realized who it was and, lowering my rifle, sighed, “…Get up, Renon.”

The hunter moved his arms and looked up, his glasses slightly crooked. “O-oh. Hey, En!” He got up and dusted himself off. “How are you, dude?”

“I’m, uh…fine. But from the sound of it, you’re not. What the hell was that about, anyway?”

He scratched the back of his head with his left hand. “Oh, that was just –” He was cut off by beeping from his communicator, and more screaming. He leaned his head away, like he was trying to get away from it, as he closed his eyes. “She’s piiiiiiissed. Sorry, dude, I gotta go!”

I stepped out of his way as I shook my head and pointed, “Alright, try not to get hurt, Renon.”

He ran past and yelled back, “Thanks, dude! And it’s Yoshiblue!” before disappearing around a corner.

I suddenly felt…very tired. I turned and walked into my room. That’s right, Renon had a girlfriend. She seemed to drag him around a lot, but he always had a smile on his face when he talked about her, so I suppose they were happy with each other. I laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling.

“Girlfriend, huh? I wonder what that’s like?” I felt my power fluctuate. “Huh, that’s…odd. Power drain is…much too…high. Guess I’ll…rest for…a bit.” I let my right arm and right leg hang off the edge of the bed as I began to idle. I started to recall another memory, this time involving a pair of Newmans and a rather….awkward situation.

Interlude & Flashback: Part VI

[SPOILER-BOX]Well....you asked for it. ^^;

(Also, Cue Nedra rage. :p)[/SPOILER-BOX]
---------------------------------------------

I walked up to Cornelia’s door, in full hunter gear, mumbling to myself. I stepped in and walked to the side, just barely entering her bedroom before stopping, dumbstruck by what I saw.

Cornelia and a tinier Newman with short red pigtails were in bed together. Cornelia was lying on her back, moaning as the smaller Newman sucked on one her breasts. She pressed her hands against the back of the red-haired Newman’s head. Cornelia turned her head to the side, looking like she enjoyed it. Then, her eyes met mine.

“Ah-Aaaahn…..E-En??....” As her face flushed more than it was a moment ago, I slowly turned my head so that I was looking directly forward, away from the bed, and slowly backpedaled out of the room.

I stood there for a moment as the door to her bedroom closed, still dumbstruck. I could hear frantic shuffling from the next room, and hushed voices. I mumbled to myself, “I just saw Cornelia and another girl having se…” I covered my face with my hands, “Oh, I’m so dead.”

“You got that right.”

I looked up, and saw the same red pigtailed girl I’d seen as I stumbled in on the…uh…‘scene.’ And she didn’t look happy. She had a Nyoibo in her hands, and was in a yellow Tiger Pierce.

“What…the hell…is a cast doing here…MESSING UP OUR PRIVATE TIME!?”

She lunged at me, and I was forced to draw my Aristin to block the Nyoibo as it came at my face.

“OI OI OI OI! I get why you’re upset, but this is a bit much! Hey! Listen to me!”

“NO!” She bounced back and spun the staff in a circle over her head before charging me again. “Prepared to get scrapped, Tin boy!”

“Oi, lady, cut it out! This isn’t some game!” I blocked another strike and backed up, bumping into the wall. “H-hey, this isn’t- ”

She jumped up and aimed a kick at my head. I dropped my sword, but not by mistake. If I had kept it up, the most likely outcome would have been an ugly injury to her leg. I wasn’t going to be the cause of that. As her leg connected with the side of my head, I followed the motion, and allowed myself to be knocked to the floor. “Chh! Stupid tin can can’t even fight!” The tiny Newman raised the Nyoibo above her head, as I lifted my arm to block it.

“STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!” It was Cornelia, red-faced from yelling (presumably…). Thankfully she had cloths on now.

The pigtailed girl looked back helplessly, “B-But Connie…”

“En! Are you okay?” She ran over and knelt next to me.

I pushed myself up into a sitting position, and looked over, “Yeah…yeah…I’m fine.” I couldn’t help but tilt my head slightly and look at her bust.

She realized where I looked and her face flushed. “M-my face is up here, En!”

“Yeah! Stupid Cast!” The pigtailed girl chirped from behind Cornelia.

I looked away, “S-sorry, it’s just…I mean…you two were…” forgetting myself, I looked at her bust again. Not exactly one of my brightest moments.

“I-Idiot!” The next moment I felt Cornelia’s hand smack me upside the head, sending me face first into the floor. It’s still a wonder that doesn’t break her wrist. The other Newman was laughing so hard she was on her back, her arms hugging her midsection. I waited a moment, before slowly getting to my feet and shaking my head at the two of them.

“What the hell is your – No, no. Okay, I get it. I’m leaving. Sorry for bothering you.” I turned on my heel and left, slightly angry.

“Yeah! Go home! Good riddance!”

Cornelia sounded a little upset, “E-En…wait a minute!”

I raised my right hand like I was waving, my voice indifferent, “Have fun, I’ll knock next time.” Walking down the hallway, I could hear the pigtailed Newman complaining to Cornelia before the door closed, “Why the hell do you even bother with that…that thing?”

I grumbled to myself, “Just another day…”

The memory faded there, and I woke up, still tired, and in a gloomier mood.

“…”

I raised my head, and looked around the room.

“Hmm…”

Suddenly, my comms screeched in my ear. Clapping my hand against the side of my head, an automated message played.

ATTENTION, ATTENTION! HIGH CONCENTRATION OF DARKER LIFEFORMS DETECTED ON PLANET LILLIPA! AN EMERGENCY ORDER HAS BEEN ISSUED. ARKS FORCES ARE BEING DEPLOYED IMMEDIATELY TO ENGAGE AND ELIMINATE DARKER PRESENCE. ALL SQUADS REPORT TO YOUR SQUAD LEADERS. SQUAD LEADERS REPORT TO YOUR COMMANDERS. A NEW SYSTEM FOR ALL ARKS WILL BE FIELD TESTED DURING THIS OPERATION. THAT IS ALL.

I lowered my hand, and immediately found myself raising it again as my communicator went off. It was Farrid this time.

“En? You just got that, right? Where do we meet up?”

I quietly got into a sitting position on the edge of the bed, and stared at the floor, not saying anything.

“…En? En!”

Jolting my head up, I looked around, “Wh-what? Oh…right.” I stood up and tapped a few buttons on a console, which opened a side door into a small room. I regained my composure. “I’ll be heading to the CIC. We’ll meet there. Understood?”

“…Understood. See you there, En!”

I lowered my hand again, and walked into the room, the door closing behind me. A few seconds later I walked back out, no longer in my Dista armor, instead wearing my Hunter outfit. Quietly walking over to my bed, my Aristin materialized on my back. I quietly picked up a photo I had setting on a shelf next to my bed with my right hand. In it there was a smiling Cornelia, with me next to her, in full Dista armor, leaning slightly away from her, my head turned towards her. It was just a lazy day, where I had thought she was just a little too excited to have a picture taken. There were trees in the background, grass…we were at a park. She was laughing, having fun…

I placed the picture back on the shelf, my left hand now balled into a fist. Walking over to the doorway, I looked back towards the bedroom. Thinking about it now…Cornelia had been a part of my life for a while; now that she was gone…it felt like something was missing. We had fights, we ran missions together, and we had spent large portions of off time either talking or walking around. Even if there wasn’t any romantic interest…

I took her being around for granted.

“Dammit…Dammit….Dammit….DAMMIT!”

Without thinking, I punched a hole in the wall.

My voice shook, “I…will…bring you back. I promise.”

I pulled my fist from the wall and headed towards the CIC.

As much as I dislike how heavy the "include people's characters" fanservice-type of story build is put on here, these are still hilarious to read.

Well, I'm glad everyone is liking it so far.

...yeah, having three characters introduced in such a short timespan....

re-reading that section...just sounds forced.

Must space that out better from now on....

Hey guys, finally got to work writing. Hope you enjoy this, time to see some of what En is thinking.

---------------------------

Stepping into the CIC, my mood hadn’t improved at all, so I quietly looked around the Command Center. The left side of the room was raised, with lines of consoles where the handlers sat, relaying with teams while they were on mission. The right side of the room had less consoles, and was more spaced out, with a person generally monitoring two or three different consoles, having to move between them at semi regular intervals. This side of the room was hectic right now, with the people monitoring the consoles running back and forth regularly. The center of the room had a raised circular table, which came to about waist height, a large transparent globe hovering just above the table. This was the area’s star map. Several medium sized dots represented Arks ships, while a large amber sphere represented Lillipa. There was a group of even smaller dots leaving the Arks ships – campships, moving from the ship to the planet. Daryl was towards the back of the room, talking to a pair of individuals.

“En?”

Turning my head to the left without moving my body, I noticed Farrid behind me. She smiled and waved, “Hi, En.”

I looked forward at the map, my voice cold. “Hello, Farrid.”

She walked up to my left side, “H-hey, are you okay, En?”

“I’m fine. Just a little tired.” I didn’t look at her.

“Hey, are you telling the tru-”

At that point, Daryl noticed us. “Enforcer! Farrid! Good, good. This is important, so listen up!” He walked towards us, stopping with the map behind him, and put his hands behind his back. “For this operation, we’re pulling out a lot of firepower. You will be escorting a Sigma class APC to the enemy concentration. You will not be moving through the usual desert corridors, this is going to be a huge expanse of open terrain. The APCs will be moving in a spaced out line, some with a full contingent of Arks being transported inside, others with supplies, plus the outside escort. Also, we’ll have gunships overhead for cover fire. Once the APCs reach the concentration, all Arks will disembark and engage the enemy. Once the enemy presence has been neutralized, we’ll go about finding out why they were there in the first place.

Also! We’ll be field testing a new system – the sub class system. With this, you can have a second class as a ‘sub class’ and be authorized to use certain skills, weapons, and the like that are associated with this class. This will increase every Arks’ flexibility in combat, and expand upon their abilities. Make sure you set your sub class and make any necessary changes before you go. Your designation is Echo 2-6. The APC that you’ll be guarding is Sigma 6-6. Any questions?”

Farrid raised her hand, “How bad is this? This group of enemies, I mean.”

Daryl was quiet a moment, “We’re estimating at least three times the number of Darkers that invaded the ship.

The Ranger’s eyes grew wide, “Th-three times!? We’re going to be fighting that many? Isn’t that a bit much?”

“That’s why this is a joint operation. We’re making sure they know they won’t get away with something like the invasion of an Arks ship.” He turned away from us and looked up at the map. “We go in, clear the area, and then continue on. Simple. Now, any other questions?”

I was quiet a moment. “…That means I get to kill as many of them as I want, right?”

“…That’s correct, En.”

I began flexing my fingers, “…Good…good…That’s all, Commander.”

Daryl looked back a moment, “That’s everything, then. You’re dismissed.”

“…Sir.” I grumbled; an edge to my voice. I turned on my heel and left the CIC, still flexing my fingers, eager to get to Lillipa.

Farrid looked back and forth frantically as Enforcer left. “C-Commander? Doesn’t En seem a bit…weird?”

Looking around the room, the older man sighed before placing his hands on the panel, “You saw it as well, then? Good, I’m not crazy.” He took his hands off the panel, and pressed the tips of his fingers together, before pressing the ends of his pointer fingers against his lips. Then he lowered them, and turned towards the blue-haired soldier. “I’d like you to do something for me, Ms. Invaal.”

She frowned, “Sir?”

As you’ve noticed, Enforcer isn’t operating under his normal mindset – or at least he doesn’t appear to be. You and I both know the reason for that.”

“You mean Cornelia.”

“Precisely. Now, it hasn’t happened yet, but I’m afraid he might do something…drastic. I’d like you to watch him and make sure that doesn’t happen.”

“…You’re asking me to spy on him, Commander?”

He chuckled, “No, not at all. You’re worried about him yourself, right? You’re just keeping an eye on him…for both of us.”

Farrid shifted where she stood, “I…I guess. Fine, I’ll watch him.”

“Thank you, Ms. Invaal. That’s all; you’re dismissed.”

“Sir!” She saluted and turned on her heel, quickly walking out of the CIC.

The Commander sighed and turned back towards the map, putting his hands behind his back once more. “Get through this, soldier…”

…..

I looked up from a console as Farrid stepped into the observation room overlooking the campships. It was a long, rectangular room (though it may be more appropriate to call it a hallway of sorts) with a large, paneled window in the front showing the campships and their lifts, and rows of crates in the back of the hallway. The door Farrid had walked through was located on the right end of the hallway, and connected to the rest of the ship. An exit on the far left end of the hall led to a stairwell that connected to the campships. That’s where we’d be heading in a few minutes.

“Sure took your time, didn’t you?”

She looked out the window, “I was talking to the Commander about something.”

Nodding, I replied, “I see. Anyway, this is for you.” I held my right arm out. In my hand was a yellow scarf.

She took the scarf and held it out in front of her, “Wha..? What’s this for, En?”

I turned and tapped a few buttons on the console. “I was checking the situation report, and many units are saying that there are heavy sandstorms moving in. I thought that having some kind of protection from the elements was in order. That’s all.”

The blue haired Ranger looked down at the scarf and smiled, “Yeah. Thanks, En.”

“No problem.” I turned back towards the console, “Make sure you get set up quickly. I want us ready to leave in the next ten minutes.”

Armor plates appeared on my lower legs, and I backed up from the console. “I’ll see you down there, Farrid.”

“Okay, En. I won’t be long.”

I turned to my left and made my way down the hall and out onto the stairwell. This area was basically an enormous square, with the back wall lined with stairwells and lifts, the bottom of the square lined with campships. About a quarter of the way down the stairs, just as I reached a landing with a trash bin, I heard jeering coming from above me.

“Hey, I recognize him! ‘at’s the grumpy old Cast that was with Cornelia before she got kidnapped. Hey, up here, you stupid trash compactor!”

Quietly sighing, I looked up. On a platform above and ahead of me, were two male humans. They’d been there during the last sparing session between me and Cornelia, before I scared the group off. One was wearing a hat, and he was particularly mouthy. “Yeah, you! So? Is it true? It’s your fault that Cornelia got taken away? You couldn’t even protect her? Who the hell are you, anyway? You two were always seen together. What are you, her pet?”

His friend tried to calm him down, “Hey, Lucan, ease up on the guy, would ya? He did the best he could. We don’t even know what happened; nobody is saying. He’s probably the only one who understands what exactly did go down.”

“Are you kidding me? Don’t defend that thing. It couldn’t even keep Cornelia safe, why’d she even keep it around? Useless piece of scrap…”

Silently shaking my head, I walked around the trash bin, eager to get to the campship. The human leaned on the guardrail, “Yeah, that’s right, walk away! You useless thing!”

I’d made it down one or two more steps when I heard the friend yell, “Lucan, stop!” And then I felt something hit the back of my head.

Lucan started laughing, “D-Did you see that!? It’s sticking to his head! Hahahaha!”

I stopped, and pulled the object, an orange, off of the fin on the left side of my head with my left hand. Slowly, I turned and walked back up to the landing, staring at the human the entire time. I held the orange over the trash bin as our eyes met. I crushed the fruit effortlessly, causing Lucan to wince, if only slightly. Then, I turned my hand and let the pieces fall into the trash bin before turning around and walking down the steps. From behind me I heard a “Chh! Let’s go.”

That’s just how it was. There were a lot of non-combatants on board, and not all of them particularly liked Casts. It was understandable. I looked like I was a cold machine. No organic parts, nothing that looked even remotely like flesh. I was just a machine to a lot of people. It didn't help that there weren't a lot of Cast civilians. It perpetuated the idea that we were just machines of war. Also: to an extent, they were right. It’s not as if I was like a human or a newman. I couldn't just shack up with a girl and start a family. I flat out couldn't. I wasn't as easily damaged, and if I was, I just replaced the broken part. I didn't even need Resta in some cases. Granted, it still worked for a lot of repairs, but it wasn't full-proof. I didn't have those soft, round bodies, either. I was hard; angular. In terms of what we were; Cornelia and I were opposites. She had a soft form with lots of curves. Pretty face, nice long hair. And at some point, Cornelia would probably want a family, and at least she could have biological children. It was no wonder she grabbed people’s attention, whether it was in the Arks or out. And it was no wonder people wanted to blame me for losing her.

Reaching the campship, I made my way inside and sat in one of the chairs located in the section just before the deployment area. The seat was next to a window, so I propped my head up with the palm of my left hand, and looked out. A minute or so later, Farrid stepped in, and sat in a seat close to me. Staring at me for a few seconds, she wondered, “En? Is everything okay?”

Without moving, I replied, “Yeah, Farrid…Everything’s fine.”

[Macras]

this is amusing since i actually started using a scarf since i unlocked it the other day though it isnt exactly pure yellow...

So I'm not the only one who likes to use Lilipan as a planet for some grand event =w= I had in mind to use that planet for some major stuff if I ever decided to move on with my fanfic.

Keep it up enf~

[Enforcer MKV]

O_O I was going to use a yellow and brown plaid scarf originally, but you weren't in game to ask if you'd like it.

Guess I know the answer now. XD

I got the image of her sitting on a blackhawk, her feet hanging off the side as it lands and she hops out. And I guess this is a bit of a spoiler, but yes, JOE is going to be included in my story. Hope you look forward to it, JOE. :p

Side-story short: Arguing with yourself

“This…is not good.”

I turned and looked at Josephine, “REALLY now, I couldn’t have guessed.”

[Author’s note: This side story will be a serious plot, I promise.]

The Ranger looked back at me, and blinked, “I thought that would be evident.”
I stared at her, “It was sarcasm, Sergeant.” I continued staring at her, “And is there any particular reason you’re in a maid outfit?”

[Author’s note: No, really, I mean it.]

She looked back at me, unfazed, “Well, this is one of your side stories, right? And in my dossier this is listed as one of my optional outfits for your side stories, so I thought it’d be appropriate.”

[Author’s note: Errr…….]

I looked up, not sure of how to respond, “I don’t think that means you HAVE to wear one of your optional outfits…that’s why they’re optional?”

She continued staring at me, both her face and her tone completely straight and serious. “…Is this not to your liking? I think I look rather cute in this…”

“Is that why your face is turning so red?” I deadpanned, not sure what to make of the situation anymore.

She put a hand to her chin, thoughtfully, “No, that’s probably just because all the blood is rushing to my head right now.”

“Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys?” Farrid whined.

Both Joe and I looked at Farrid, who had tears welling up in her eyes. We answered simultaneously, “What?”

“I-I hate tentacleeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!”

[Author’s note: Did I forget to mention that this entire conversation is going on while they’re hanging upside down, a Bielz’ tentacle wrapped around one of their ankles? No? That was probably important…]

Another tentacle wiggled close to Farrid’s face, causing the RA to scream and slap it away, “EWEWEWEWEW, GET AWAY YOU CREEPY TENTACLE!”

I sighed, “My only real burning question is why Ce’Nedra isn’t involved in this?”

[Author’s note: She’d enjoy it too much.]

“…Fair enough.” I deadpanned, again.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!” Farrid moaned.

“Right, sorry! Eh….um….hold on, let me think of something…” I pulled a gunslash off my hip and aimed it at the main body. All of a sudden, the gunslash disappeared.

“…What the!?”

[Author’s note: Nope.]

“Why you - ! Get down here and say that to my face!”

[Author’s note: Don’t wanna.]

“WHAT!? Don’t screw with us if you’re not man enough to come down here and look me in the optics!!”

[Author’s note: Fiiiiine. *sigh*]

There was what sounded like echoing footsteps, and suddenly, the side of a nearby rock opened up, and out walked a grey cast in full Dista armor.

Being in my hunter outfit, I stared, “…You look like me?”

The Dista clad cast tilted his head, “I am you.”

“…Get us down and then we’ll talk.”

The RAcast shook his head, “Alright, alright.”

He snapped his fingers and the Bielz disappeared. I landed on my back, and both Joe and Farrid landed on me.

I groaned, “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW…..”

The RACast chuckled, “That never gets old…”

The two of them clambered off of me, confused.

I just looked at the doppelganger, “So...you’re me?”

He nodded, “And I’m you.”

“…So what was the point of choosing those two? And why Bielz?”

The RAcast shrugged, “I thought it’d be funny if I chose two girls we thought were cute.”

Joe and Farrid both eyed me suspiciously.

Joe spoke first, “…So you did like the maid outfit.”

My shoulders drooped, “Wait, what? No! I mean, it didn’t look bad, but – AGH, don’t just take everything he says as truth!”

“…but he’s you, right?” The fox ranger replied matter-of-factly.

I just covered my face with my palm, “This is all just too much…”

Then Farrid started tugging on my arm, blushing, “So…that means you like me, En?”

I just stared up at the sky, and mumbled, “Wayu’s harem jokes in 3…2…1…”

The RAcast broke back in, “I can make this more interesting if you like?”

I stared at him, almost fuming, “NO! No, that’s quite alright!”

“You would? Oh, that’s just great.”

“What!? No, I said –”

He snapped his fingers.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!”

“…Ah, crap.” It was Cornelia.

Before I had any time to react, she grabbed me by one of the fins on my head and started dragging me away, fuming, “Why are you standing there flirting!? Aren’t you supposed to be busy trying to save me?”

She dragged me off, Farrid and Joe following after, both saying, “En! You didn’t answer my question!”

~End Short~

[Skye-Fox713]

Very nice, the side stories are just as fun to read as the primary story line.

tbh I listened to JOE's theme like 10 times in a row and it fits really well.

[yoshiblue]

Seems about right.

NEXT STORY SUBJECT CONFIRMED

[Enforcer MKV]

The pilot’s voice rang merrily over the ship’s loudspeaker, “Aaaaaaawrighty, folks, let’s hurry up and take off, then we’ll go and git us some darkers!” He sounded entirely too excited about this to be a pilot. Farrid and I looked at each other, the look on her face a mixture of ‘Oh my god; is he for real?’ and simple ‘What the heck?’ I just shrugged and looked back out the window. The actual ride there was uneventful. As we got close, Farrid and I walked into the deployment area and went over our equipment. I stood at the console, and went over everything, one by one, Farrid responding.

“Mate supply, check?”

“Full.”

“Telepipe supply, check?”

“Full.”

“Atomizer supply, check?”

“Full.”

“Weapons, check?”

Farrid pulled the magazine out of the Vita rifle’s receiver and checked both. Slapping the clip back in, she looked through the scope. Then she checked the underslung grenade launcher. Smiling, she chimed, “Cleaned, loaded, and looking good.”

With a laugh I turned and asked, “Almost as good as the soldier girl using it, right?”

She blushed slightly, and giggled. “S-stop it, you. It’s embarrassing.”

“Haha, sorry, sorry. Anyway; Armor check, turn around.”

She did so, and I looked over her back, and patted down her sides. She leaned away from me when I got to her hips, like she was embarrassed. I leaned to the left and looked at her. “Okay, armor is alright.”

She nodded, “Armor, check. Okay, En, your turn to get checked.”

Standing up, Farrid and I switched positions, sharing a high five as we moved past each other.

“Mates, Check?”

I opened up a holographic inventory screen and scrolled to the mates. All full. “Check.”

“Telepipes, Check?”

“Cheeeeck.”

“Atomizers, Check?”

“Check.”

“Weapons, Check?”

Pulling the Aristin from my back, I inspected the weapon, the red blade humming peacefully. “Check.”

“Armor, Check?”

Farrid walked around behind me, pulling on several panels on my back. “You’re all set, En.”

“…Check. Alright, Echo 2-6 is green.”

Placing the Aristin on my back once more, I walked over towards the teleporter. I stopped at the bottom of the steps and looked back up at Farrid, “Hey…Farrid.”

“Hm?”

“Promise me you won’t disappear like Cornelia did, alright?”

“En…”

I turned back around and called out to the pilot. “Pilot! Have we arrived at our destination?”

“Almost, Lover boy MkX! Ya want me ta turn off this here mic so you two can have a little fun ‘fore we get there?”

It ‘almost’ struck a nerve. Clicking my mic off, I clenched my fists and growled under my breath, an edge to my voice. “I want everyone to stop with all these fucking jokes and assumptions.”

Turning the mic back on, I replied plainly, “Negative. Just tell us when we get there.”

“Awright, awright. Don’t go gettin’ crossed wires ‘cause o’ me. We’ll git there soon.”

“Understood.”

“…En?” Farrid had clearly heard me.

I leaned against the left wall right before the teleporter pool, and slid down into a sitting position. “Idiot.”

Farrid stepped gingerly to the bottom of the staircase, and sat on the last step, “Do you…want to talk a little before we get there?”

“No.”

Her reply was quiet. “…Alright.”

We sat there in silence for around ten minutes. Then, suddenly, the campship shook, sending me tumbling to the right, and sending Farrid rolling as well. We both ended up in the corner, tangled up in one another.

“O-Oooooooi…Servos…spinning…y-you okay, Farrid?”

There was silence. “…Farrid?” I turned my head to the right, “Uwaah!” Farrid’s face was about an inch away from mine. “Uh…hi..there..Farrid.”

“…Hi..En.”

We stared at each other for about 10 seconds.

“We should probably get up, you know? We have a mission to do.”

Her face turned crimson, “Right! You’re right!”

She quickly hoped up and walked over to the end of the ramp before the teleporter pool. Meanwhile, I was shaking my head, wondering why I felt like I was in a manga. Getting to my feet, I walked back up the stairs, toward the front of the campship, and called the pilot.

“Oi, are we clear to enter the Area of Operations yet? And what was up with that shaking just now?”

“Sorry ‘bout that, loverbot! Darkers decided ta give the ol’ girl a lil’ love tap! An’ yer clear to go anytime ya want! Whazza - HOLD ON!”

Looking towards the teleporter pool, I tried to warn Farrid, but I was too slow. The campship pulled to the right, and there was a scream as Farrid fell into the pool.

“Ah, shi – Pilot! This is Echo 2-6, moving to the planet’s surface! Stay safe!” I took off at a run, and upon reaching the top of the steps, leapt. I cleared the entire staircase, the platform, and landed in the center of the pool. The next moment, I was on Lillipa.

And it seemed the “concentration” of Darkers had come to us. The place was a warzone.

NEXT STORY SUBJECT CONFIRMED

Ha!

Epic story, can't wait for more!

[Ce'Nedra]

Stop flirting with Farrid and go kick some darkers ass!

[Enforcer MKV]

Just as a note, I decided that several weapons (I'm pretty much only talking about rifles at this point) will have their functions changed for the sake of just making sense. I'm a bit of a gun nut, so seeing some of these weapons made me laugh.

Firearms - Design model: Barrett M82 Semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle, Caliber .50; AKA Barrett .50 Cal.

This is not a burst rifle weapon. In fact, you can't even move while firing this thing, it's that damn powerful. The Barrett .50 is one of the world's most power AM rifle; it's designation as an "Anti-Materiel (AM) rifle" is only given to weapons that are designed to penetrate armored vehicles (Humvees, tanks, APCs, etc.) and other military equipment. It is "NOT" a sniper rifle, since the purpose of a sniper rifle is to shoot people, where as AM rifles are designed SPECIFICALLY for anti-vehicular and other such military hardware, though AM rifles ARE used for taking down personnel, especially when behind thick walls or other such hard cover. In fact, there are confirmed reports of humans being blown in half by the projectile. That's at the waist, mind you.

So yeah, anyone who wants this weapon to be burst fire? No. Not happening. This thing is a semi-automatic rifle that you fire laying down. Hope that doesn't urk anyone, because I'm not budging on this, game continuity or not.

Avenger - Design model: I "think" this is based off the GAU -8 Avenger Gatling Autocannon

....Wow, Sega. Just...wow. You take the biggest, most badass Gatling gun the US air-force has, that's the main gun on the toughest plane in the US AF, a plane that can lose half a wing, one of it's turbofan engines, and half it's freaking tail, and STILL fly...

And you turn it into a rifle that people run around with.

....How did you know the A-10 was my favorite plane? Thanks for that....now increase the drop rate so I can find the damn thing.

Anyway, On topic! This thing isn't even meant to be carried by people. This thing in real life is freaking bigger than a person. I swear, when I saw this rifle, I laughed for 5 minutes straight. Too damn funny. Now, the changes I'm making are....okay, I'm turning it into the mini-gun from fallout. That's basically it. Except you can't move when firing it, either. The trade off being, of course, that'll you be a total badass when firing this thing standing up. :P

Agreed, especially when you notice that the players are holding the in game Avenger just about side ways because of the angle of the trigger handle and the front grip bar

Heh, if you haven't noticed yet, I've got a thing for..."holy" sounding music. Or music that instills a sense of honor or the like. I've always been into that mythos, the ideas of Angels and Holy Warriors is just something that has always interested me. I just think it's cool. I dunno, maybe that's weird, or funny sounding, but hey - it's what I like.

Hope you guys enjoy the music, too.

....GRAAAH! *flips table* I just can't stop completely! *Goes to write* ;-;

[Enforcer MKV]

I looked down and saw Farrid kneeling to the right of me, her back facing me. “Oi, Farrid! Are you alright?"

She looked back and smiled, “Yeeeeah! I’m just fine. Landed on my butt, though. That really hurt…”

I walked over and slid my arm under hers, helping her up. “Alright. So long as you’re unharmed. Now, let’s try to find out what the hell is going on.”

“Right!”

Looking around, I realized we were in the middle of a defensive formation. The APCs were end to end, forming a half circle around the telepipe. Behind us was a large cliff wall. I could vaguely make out a few Rangers in small caves on the cliff and on the top of the cliff itself, booming shots coming from what sounded like Firearms. Bullet trails ripped through the open air for a few seconds before beginning to dissipate. There were Arks on top of the APCs, either shooting weapons or techs. The turrets on the APC were pointed outwards, firing as well. There was shouting, people inside the defensive line running back and forth. There were even bolts coming up over the line. It looked like the security robots were fighting as well. A three sided battle. It seemed like the original plan wasn’t going to pan out. Right now, there was just…chaos. It sounded like it was much worse outside the line. Off to my left, near the bottom of the cliff wall, were…

I paused. If I had a throat, a lump probably would have formed. There were lines of bodies, both moving and motionless. Everything seemed to fade for a minute.

“Oi..Farrid. Go find the Commanding Officer for me. I have something to take care of really quick.”

She looked back at me. “What? What are you…?” She leaned and looked in the same direction I was. “…Oh. W-well, alright, En. J-just don’t take too long. We’re in a combat zone, after all…”

“I know, Farrid. Thanks. This won’t take long.”

I trudged off towards the lines of bodies at a jog, stopping just short of them. They were in semi neat rows. Humans and Newmans to my right, Casts to the left.

“Even in death…” I shook my head, when suddenly a Caseal in brown Rank armor turned on her side and coughed. The Forces tending to the wounded were all to the right, so I took it upon myself and stepped towards her, kneeling down. She rolled onto her back and stared at me, her yellow eyes unfocused for a few moments. There was an uneasy silence before she finally opened her mouth and spoke.

“You…your name is…Enforcer…MkX?”

I tilted my head, surprised. “Eh? You know who I am?”

She smiled, as she started to lose consciousness, “Yeah…you’re….the……bridge…”

“Oi, OI! Hey, stay with me, ma’am!” I noticed a hole on the left side of her torso, like she’d been stabbed. Supporting her body with my left arm, I pressed my right hand against the wound. A greenish light emanated and there was hissing as metal reshaped itself. When I removed my hand, the wound had closed. Checking her condition, she appeared stable. I quietly paid respects to the bodies around me, not moving for a moment.

“Good…good…Guess I should find Farrid now.” I stood up and walked away, pausing only long enough to wonder aloud “Bridge, huh…? I wonder how she knew me…”

I placed my left hand up to the side of my head as I walked, “Farrid? Farrid, any luck?”

“Yes, En. She’s filling me in on the details…it’s not very good.”

“Understood. I’ll be there soon. Pop a marker for me.”

A small green arrow popped up to my right. Following it at a jog, I finally found Farrid and the Acting Ground Commander. The AGC stood in full, violet colored Lamia armor, with bold, white lights. Her hair was a black short bob that was parted in the middle. Her amber eyes were sharp, and looked me over before she smiled and nodded at me, “Enforcer.”

I saluted her in response, “Commander Juniper.”

“At ease, soldier.”

I dropped my salute before she continued, “Now – first off, the situation is…bad. I’m not going to lie; things are practically too far gone, as it is. All Arks are going to take up defensive positions and “try” to hold off the Darkers long enough for us to get the convoys up and running. Then we’ll go and take out the nest.”

I stopped her, “Hold on, did you say nest? As in a Darker breeding ground?” I turned to my right and looked at Farrid, who seemed to be as surprised as I was, before turning back to Juniper. “Why the hell weren’t we informed of this before?”

She frowned, “We learned this recently; probably after you left. Furthermore, I wasn’t finished speaking.”

“Hmph. Yes, ma’am. Continue, please.”

“Now…I want you two to head to the Eastern flank, we have a few Sigma class APCs set up with automated turrets, to act as a defense line before the Darkers hit our barricade. I think Sigma 6-6 was a part of that detachment. Anyway, it got hit pretty hard not too long ago, and the turrets stopped working. I don’t suppose Ms. Invaal would be willing to go take a look and get them working again, would she?”

I turned to my right, and tilt my head to the left, “Well? What do you think? Think you can get those turrets working again…‘Ms. Invaal?’”

She looked up to me, and cocked her eyebrow as a smile split across her face. “Get them working?” She pats my arm as she looked East, “I’ll get those turrets working better than they were before! Let’s go, En!”

“…heh, someone is fired up. Can I get those coordinates, Commander?” Juniper gave them to me, after which Farrid and I set off at a run, the blue-haired Ranger keeping pace with me to my left.

“So…En! I can trust you to watch my back while I get those guns working, right?” She said with a smile as we ran.

“Of course! Wouldn’t let anything touch you even if you wanted them to!”

She turned crimson, “Aaaah, Shut up, you damn flirt! G-geez!”

“Flirt? Not at all, ma’am. Not at all.”

“Mm-hmm, sure, En.”

“…No, really. I’m being serious.”

We reached the barricade and stopped. She looked at me. “I…I knew that.” Her face turned red again.

I patted the top of her head gently. “Heh, yeah, sure you did. Now…” taking my hand off her head, I climbed up the side of the APC that formed part of the barricade. Looking back down, I knelt and held a hand out. Farrid jumped and grabbed my hand, after which I pulled her up. As the two of us stood up, I pulled up on the scarf that I had given her earlier, so it covered the bottom half of her face.

“H-hey! You don’t need to do that!” She grumbled.

“I know, but the sand could pick up at any time. I just want to be sure that your face is protected; it’s important that it doesn’t get damaged in some some way.”

“Geez…”

I turned and looked over the desert. There were Darkers everywhere. Dagans, Krahda, Kuklonahda…all of the small to medium sized Darker variants were fighting Arks in the expanse before us. It was…almost like an Ocean of black. There also appeared to be security bots scattered, targeting both Arks and Darkers. Rangers were kneeling and standing on top of the APCs that formed the edge of the base, rifles and launchers in hand, doing their best to keep the enemy at bay.

“Hmm…this will take too long if we try to run normally…Too many hostiles.” I turned to Farrid, “Forgive me for my impudence, please?” as I slid my arm around her back.

“E-En! What are you doing? En!”

I placed my other arm behind her legs, and picked her up. “Just trust me…and hold on tightly. This could get a bit rough.”

“O-Okay…” She hesitantly wrapped her arms around my neck as she mumbled her reply.

“Alright…Here we go!” I took as many steps on the top as the APC as I could before leaping off. The thrusters on my legs flared to life and upon hitting the ground (which set a bit of sand flying, mind you) I zipped along the sand, Farrid clinging to me tightly, weaving in between combatants. If looking at it on top of the APC made the fight look bad, it was worse on the ground, actually being there. Swerving to the left of a Dagan, I was forced to jump to avoid a Krahda hidden behind it. I leaned right and slipped past a HU as he was about to be tripped up by kamikaze bot. I stuck my left leg out as we passed, felt the metal leg of the bot catch mine, and managed to trip the offending quadruped; hopefully buying the Hunter enough time to collect himself or at least retreat. A few seconds later I heard the bot detonate, though I was too far ahead to check and see what happened at that point.

Skating in between more Darkers, a Kuklonahda appeared ahead. It was squaring off with several Arks. One of them, a Hunter, had his back to me as I approached.

“E-En!?”

“Hold on.”

Farrid gripped me tighter, and shut her eyes, “Th-this is crazyyyyyyyy!”

The Darker brought the large pillar of an arm down at the Hunter, who thankfully dodged, giving me an opening. Using this chance, I jumped onto the pillar, skating along the length of it, before jumping onto the top of the creature’s head, and finally kicking hard off of it, hopefully giving the other Arks an opening to attack. I continued on as I landed, not taking the time to look back. Though I did pray for their safety.

Suddenly, a pair of green Chevrons appeared on my HUD, hovering over an area straight ahead. A trio of APCs appeared through the sandstorm, which was growing more intense, and grew in size until they were right before us. I skid to a halt, my thrusters turning off. Letting Farrid hop down, she looked slightly shaken.

“Oi, Farrid! Are you alright?” I switched to my gunslash and began firing on the enemies closest to us. “Farrid! I need you to focus and get those guns working!”

“Right!” The look on Farrid’s face was back to its normal, serious expression, and she ran to the back of the APC, which was to our left. I followed. She hurriedly knelt down and removed a panel on the back, then took a tool out and began fiddling with the exposed wires.

“Will this get the turrets back online?”

“No.” She shook her head, “But it’ll let me get inside. Then I’ll be able to.”

“Alright.”

I stood there, my back to hers, firing on any enemies that dared to get close. After about 2 minutes, she exclaimed “Got it!” and I moved out of the way as the ramp fell. Still facing away from the APC, I glanced back and saw Farrid pull her rifle off her back and raise it as she turned on the gun’s light, pointing the cone of light inside the APC. As I looked forward again, I heard an unfamiliar voice from the direction of the APC.

“…Friendlies? Identify yourself.”

Farrid answered the voice, “Echo 2-6. Need a hand, Mrs….?”

“Windwalker. Skylin Josephine Windwalker. Call me…JOE.”

[Enforcer MKV]

Firing my Gunslash at the nearest enemy, I turned as the woman in question stepped out of the APC. She was human; though looking at her reminded me of…a fox? There was a slight resemblance, at least. She had Hazel eyes, long red hair and a reddish tinge to her skin. A Vita Beam was clasped in her hands.

“Ma’am” I began, nodding at her. “Enforcer MkX. Are you hurt?” She answered that she wasn’t before I continued. “Good, good. Now, where’s the rest of your unit, soldier?”

“Solo Operative.” She uttered plainly, raising her hand to shield her face as she spoke. “The only other personnel on site are the drivers, who are located in one of the other two APCs. They’re armed, but I don’t believe they’ll be of much help. They’re currently equipped with Gunslash Zeros. From what I saw; they hold them like rifles, and their gloves protect their hands from the physical blade. They’re…competent, yet nowhere near our level.”

I stared at her as she talked. Solo Operative? That didn’t seem like a good idea, especially during such a large operation; even more-so for an organic member. As she finished, I nodded to myself. “Understood. For now, we need help: Farrid is going to work on getting those turrets reactivated. Any assistance you could give would be most appreciated.”

The red-haired RA looked at me, and then to the top of the APC. She muttered “Understood.” Before turning around and climbing up on top of the APC Farrid was currently inside.

“Keep those hostiles out of the APC, Soldier!” I yelled over the sandstorm, “I’ll be sure to put in a good word for you afterwards!”

She didn’t reply. What she did do, however, was crouch on top of the APC and immediately start picking off targets with a modified Vita Laser. The scope was removed and replaced with a red dot, similar to those found on Schwann-type rifles. JOE was crouched in such a way that she could pivot 180 degrees quickly and easily while still maintaining her balance effectively. Before I could continue my evaluation, however, a wrench flew out of nowhere and smacked me upside the head.

“What the- !?” I looked inside the APC and made out Farrid’s form, sitting cross-legged on the floor. She had an aggravated look on her face.

“Hoy! En! Stop staring and focus on the enemy, we’re in a combat zone!” She huffed and went back to work, a panel lying on the floor next to her.

“I didn’t even stare that long, I at least need to know if the woman is capable…” I grumbled as I pulled my Aristin off my back. “Alright, Darkers…time to send you back to whatever foul maker spawned you!”

I dashed forward into the sea of Darkers ahead of me, leading with my sword. Immediately running a Dagan through, I lifted the sword, as well as the Darker, above my head. Throwing the hapless thing into a group of Kradha caused them all to scatter, sending them rolling. Swinging the sword horizontally, I let the momentum carry me counterclockwise in an arc, the Aristin’s blade sliced through several smaller Darkers, though a single Kradha managed to make it underneath. It waddled towards me, though I pulled my leg back and kicked it so hard it was sent flying overtop the APC – as well as JOE. She noticed the feat and stopped for a quick moment, giving me a thumbs-up before going back to shooting.

“Heh!” I chuckled to myself as I turned away from the APCs, “I think I like that woman…” Suddenly, there was a cry, and I looked up to see El Ahdas descending into the fight. I felt my grip tighten around the grip of my Sword. I growled menacingly, “I’m gonna make sure you never carry anyone off again.”

JOE beat me to it though. I heard the familiar “Choonk!” of a grenade being launched and watched as one Ahda was blasted apart. Another Ahda quickly followed in being killed in the same, messy fashion. Looking back, I nodded. “Ms. Windwalker,” I mumbled to myself, “I could really get to like you.” Sensing something behind me, I gripped the sword in both hands and spun clockwise. An El Dagan, a slightly bigger, more annoying version of the standard Dagan, had leapt, trying to catch me by surprise. Instead, the creature found itself being cleaved in half. I continued standing my ground in front of the APCs, slicing Darkers asunder.

Suddenly, I felt something grab my left arm, and turned to find an El Ahda trying to lift me off the ground. Quickly switching my grip on the Aristin, I stabbed it in the chest with the point at the bottom of the weapon’s hilt. The creature cried in pain and let go of my arm. In turn, I grabbed the grip of the sword with both hands and brought the red blade straight down on its head. The blade went about a quarter of the way down, and then stopped. Releasing the sword, I switched to my gunslash, a Sarhaling, and flicked both of my forearms. The red blade emerged from my weapon, and a white buckler appeared on my left forearm. “Farrid! Those turrets?”

She cracked over the communicator. “Almost got this one! Just have to bypass this and – hyaaa!”

“Farrid!?”

I heard her cough into the mic a few times, “I-I’m okay. Stupid fuse blew! When the hell were these parts last replaced!?”

“As long as you’re safe. You’ll get it working. Just try and make it quickly.”

“You know it!” She called, “I’ll get this working! Just stay safe, En.”

“I will, Farrid. I will.”

I charged back into the fray, and kicked a dagan in the face. Another leapt at me from the left, and I let the legs get blocked by the shield on my arm. I pushed against the creature and it ended up with its legs flailing in the air. I flicked the gunslash to shoot mode and fired into the Dagan’s exposed underside. The sand and dust from the sandstorm began to affect both my vision and my sensors.

“JOE! Focus on keeping Farrid safe! Go ahead and get inside the APC, you’ll have more protection from the storm!”

“Are you sure, Enforcer? What about you; will you be alright?”

The wind from the storm began to howl as I did my best to yell over it. “I’ll be fine! Right now we need any kind of help we can get. That means those turrets! And with the storm like this, I can’t guarantee some enemies won’t get past! Close up the ramp if you have to; just make sure Farrid is protected!”

“…Understood. Moving inside the APC.” About 45 seconds later, JOE contacted me again, “Ramp is closed, Enforcer. Beginning guard duty.”

“Understood, JOE! Once Farrid gets that turret operational, follow her to the other APCs and stay in the interior again! That is all! Enforcer MkX, out!”

A few seconds later I was assaulted by Farrid in my ear, “En! What are you thinking, fighting out there by yourself!?”

“Someone has to take the fight to them. Might as well be me.”

“B-but…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Just focus on getting the turrets working. And Farrid?”

“Hm?”

“Make sure you keep that scarf up when you’re outside. It’s pretty foul out here.”

“…Mm. I will.”

“Good…good. En out.”

A few moments later I heard the familiar sound of an automated gun firing. She’d gotten the first turret working.

“…One down, two to go.”

Woot, new segment!

[Skye-Fox713]

The Best chapter yet! can't wait for more!

[Vintasticvin]

I know this is not my story thread but just going over it and seeing how sad he is losing Cornelia and not knowing if shes safe or even alive but if my character were to meet him and most likely your character is looking sad this is what Mines would tell yours.

"Brother, I can sense you are troubled and can't help but think it involves someone you love and cherish very much but I ask that you remember and keep these words close to your the nonexistent heart others claim you have." Looks at Enforcer straight in the eyes hidden by the visor as if looking into his soul *Que in BGM "The Truth" (http://youtu.be/dE1eCoj2D1s)*
"love is like a flower that is alive with peace and joy ..
friendship is like what you and this person have, beautiful in every way..
but yours is the best because what the two of you have is something special and would never turn it in cause you love each other everyday." Gives him a firm loving hug and goes about her daily life. ^^;

[Enforcer MKV]

So...posting something a little different this time. Instead of Story content, it's Enforcer's dossier. /o/

...well, not his public dossier, but eh, maybe I'll post that one a little later. :p
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Arks: Personnel Dossier

Dossier: Enforcer MkX

Only those with level seven clearance may view this document. For standardized dossier, see Doc_DOSS.prsnnl_EM223549

Name: Enforcer MkX ("En")

Race: CAST

Specialization: RA-Techer (Officially) [also seen as a HU- or FI-Techer]

Appearance: Variable, dependent on Current class; While performing under the RA designation, he is most often seen in full Dista type armor. While performing under most other classifications, he is seen wearing the arm, leg, and torso shell of the Sheriff type, while his head is Angriff type.

BIO: Originally the creation of Professor [REDACTED], MkX is the sole extant model of the now defunct Enforcer line. The remaining Enforcer units were lost when the laboratory exploded for unknown reasons. Investigation yielded little to no viable evidence due to the totality of the destruction, save for MkX, who was sealed, in stasis, in a side room.

MkX himself was designed primarily as a command/control unit, and as such, his focus lies in ordering, supporting, and assessing the abilities of his squad and other units in the current AO. Personality is caring enough that he’ll fight harder when allied units are endangered [this is an intentional design choice] though distant enough that he won’t develop feelings of affection or genuine caring [again, an intentional design choice. It has been deemed MkX (As a piece of military hardware) is more important than Enforcer (As an individual) and as such must keep clear lines of thought]. Should signs of deep feelings develop, course of action include, but are not limited to: Reassignment, redeployment to separate Arks ship, and in extreme cases removal of the object of affection. MkX is an extremely important test bed. He must not be made aware of this, since he simply believes himself to be a common soldier.

ADDENDUM: Test bed possibilities proved dangerous. Halting immediately. Pressure from creator as well as ethics office led to halt. Continued monitoring of unit allowed.

Notes: [SPOILER-BOX]1. Following an incident in the Tundra, MkX has seemingly taken an interest in a female Newman by the name of Cornelia Allen (CA772256). MkX has visited her room in the hospital 3 times in the two weeks following the incident. MkX may feel guilt due to being unable to stop her injury from occurring.

7. Allen released from Hospital. MkX was there and escorted her home. Two of them chatted outside her living space for 5 minutes, than MkX left.

22. This is the 20th mission in the last 2 months MkX has requested being partnered with Allen. Is he only interested in her fighting ability, or is there more to it than that?

31. (3 months after the two meet) Enforcer has continued showing interest in the Newman. The two of them finished a mission, and then 30 minutes later met up and walked around the residential block for roughly 2 hours.

33. Almost caught. Seems I was noticed by Enforcer last time he and Allen were out. Must be more careful.

34. ;asklfjiowj fsf as;djfl;alkf dsdlkj; -CORRUPTED FILE-

35. New recording device. Was confused for a stalker by Enforcer, and he crushed the previous device, thinking I was after Cornelia. Must be “extremely” careful from here on out. Possibly assign a new watcher?

36. New watcher assigned. The previous mistakes will not be repeated.

144. (Approximately 1 year, 2 months after MkX and Cornelia meet.) An altercation seemed to take place between MkX and another Newman female. MkX left. Following him for a short time, he stopped at an observation booth and just…stared into space for roughly 45 minutes. What went on in that room…?

243. (2 years since the two have met.) Something seems to have happened to the Newman. She approached Enforcer’s room late night and appeared upset. Upon Enforcer opening the door, she flung her arms around him. I think she was…crying? She stayed in his room for several hours, for most of the night in fact. What possibly could have happened…?

387. (3 years, 2 months after Cornelia Allen and Enforcer MkX have met.) Enforcer seems to have interest in another girl in addition to the Newman, a human Ranger named “Farrid Invaal.” (FI333875) The two seem to have met to talk about…rifles? That’s what I can gather, since Enforcer retrieved one from his inventory and proceeded to dismantle it on the table, poking around the parts while talking to Ms. Invaal.

480. (4 years since Cornelia Allen and Enforcer MkX met.) Final day of recording. The…”Good Doctor”… wants us to halt our monitoring of Enforcer and his…“friends” she called them. Hmph. Friends, right. Some Casts might integrate into society, but Enforcer? He’s military hardware. Military hardware doesn’t have “friends”. Anyway, I’ll have Alicia review the data and determine what to do with…wait, is Enforcer watching me? …Oh, shit he’s drawing his rifle, I think he fou- –FILE END–
[/SPOILER-BOX]
General Abilities: Enforcer MkX’s abilities lie mostly in his support abilities; at least that’s what his original specs imply. Focusing in target acquisition and exploitation of weaknesses, he still possesses the dexterity and subtleness to make precise shots. That doesn’t mean he isn’t willing to take the lead or fight up on the front. He just isn’t as proficient as other units at frontline combat. For this reason, all of his systems have been reinforced to help minimize any potential damage done to his systems. Enforcer regularly uses this fact to his advantage, taking hits that would more severely wound his allies. He also prefers operating in mixed groups, with Humans and Newmans. His abilities seem to heighten when he’s defending his squadmates, more-so if they’re female organics, and doubly so if the ones in question are his personal friends. It should be noted that in the last six years of his 35 years of operation, he’s put a focus on increasing his martial skills, and has recently adopted support technics, increasing his support potential considerably. However, it should also be noted that he has focused more on fighting rather than leading, as of late. This unit is capable of taking an extreme amount of damage while remaining operable; so any future attempts to apprehend him will require extreme force.

Likes: Fair-handedness, Levelheadedness, Rifles, Cornelia, seeing the races cooperate in an efficient manner, his mag Isaac.

Dislikes: Darkers, Launchers, failing, hysteria.

[Skye-Fox713]

Those extra bits are pretty interesting for Enforcer's Dossier.

[Enforcer MKV]

Arks: Personnel Dossier

Dossier: Cornelia Allen

Name: Cornelia Allen

Race: Newman

Specialization: HU-Fighter

Appearance: Stands 193cm tall. Shapely, fit body with long limbs and attractive proportions. Particularly top heavy. Cardio, muscular density, and mineral levels all rated as excellent. Despite being in her early 30s her face is that of a mid to late 20 year old. Ears extend directly out instead of backwards. White iris with a “feral” pupil. Eyesight, excellent. She has a distinctive scar running along the left side of her face; starting just above the eyebrow, going over the eye, and leading down to her cheek. Her dyed Turquoise hair (Original color: Dark brown) is usually drawn back in a long ponytail. Eyebrows also dyed turquoise. Usually seen in a green or navy blue Neighbor Quartz. Always seen with some type of Wired Lance on her hips or in her hands.

BIO: Born the daughter of two Arks, she spent her entire life on the Arks ship. Following the disappearance of her parents on what should have been a simple exploration mission, Cornelia followed in her parent’s footsteps and joined the Arks. Though her reasons were much simpler; without her parents, or a steady source of income, she had no way of surviving. The Arks provided that. Allen passed the aptitude tests easily, thanks to her “unique” physicality [discussed later]. After this, she continued taking more and more difficult missions, eventually leading to the acquisition of her scar. Following her brief stay in the hospital; she was released, after which she continued accepting challenging missions, though she used better judgment, and has not received any permanent scars since. Following the Darker incursion unto Arks ship 002, Allen is listed as MIA. It is unknown whether she is dead or not.***

Cornelia Allen can be described as very motherly; often listening to the troubles of her teammates and doing what she can to help them. She also enjoys cooking for them, and she’s reportedly very good as such. She also, reportedly, has a childish side; often asking for assistance and throwing minor tantrums if she doesn’t get what she wants. Though she apparently recovers quickly and hunts the objective in question by herself.

General Abilities: Cornelia’s abilities are slightly atypical of her races. While it’s true that many Newmen choose to become high mobility melee users, Allen’s physique is sturdier than most Newmen, giving her an edge. Also, as stated above, she has a unique physicality. It goes deeper than that. She possesses genes that are more “feral” than those of her kinsmen. This has led to some peculiarities, such as her eyes, as well as some more intrinsic abilities. Her sensitivity to photons is heightened, as are the effects of abilities like Shifta or Deband, making her a valuable partner to support specialists.

Likes: Fairness, Honesty, Wired-Lances, Fish, Girls, Teasing Enforcer.

Dislike: Darkers, Swords, Partizans, people staring at her.

Valentine’s Day Special: The Love Bug. (AKA: Love sucks, sometimes.) Pt. 1



Cornelia and I walked through a park, on our way back to her space after spending the day exploring the city like we like to do. I looked around, in my Dista armor, and noticed at least six pairs of people kissing. I sighed.

“Why are there so many people making out, as of late? It’s like there’s a love bug running around biting people…”

Cornelia giggled and pat me on the top of my head, “My my, Don’t you know Valentine’s Day is next week, En?”

“Heh? It is? Eh. Not like it’s a big deal to me.”

“Nyahaha~ Reeeeeally? Don’t you think you and Farrid should do something together?”

“Wh-what!? Why Farrid? Our relationship is purely professional!” I mumbled more to myself, “Besides, the one I want to do things with is…”

“Hmmmmm?” She looked at me, smiling.

“N-nothing! Nothing at all! Anyway!”

She giggled uncontrollably, “Aaaw, what a cutie; En is embarrassed.”

“…I’m not cute, Cornelia. Hmph.”

“Hehe…just make sure you do something with Farrid, okaaaaaay?”

“Sheeesh. What is it with you and trying to pair me with that girl?”

“Ufufufu~”

The curvy Newman continued walking as I stopped, and I sighed and shook my head before following her.

“Oi! Cornelia! Cornelia!”

A few days passed with no special events occurring, than I got a call from one of our (admittedly close to crazy) scientists, Harold Calre. I stepped into his lab, which looked like a mad scientist’s laboratory from a monster movie.

“Oi, Doc! You here?”

“Vhat? Who iz zere?”

“It’s Enforcer. You called me over for…something.”

“Oh! Yes, yes, Enforcer. Come in, come in. I feel you vill like zis particular device I’ve…created. Yes, created…huhuhuhu~”

The…ahem, “Doctor” laughed creepily, and I tilted my head to the left.

“Huhuhuhu, yes, yes…you vill like zis, I think…tell me, how iz your friend Cornelia Allen do-ink, Enforcer?”

I hesitated, “She’s…fine. You’d better not be planning on trying one of your devices on her, Calre. I will NOT like that.”

“Oh, don’t vorry, don’t vorry…now, tell me, iz she still only interested in vomen?”

I sighed, “I don’t know what the hell this is about, but last I checked, yes.”

“Good…good. Vhat vould you say if I told you I have a device that would make her fall for you? In…zhe holiday spirit, of course. Huhuhuhu~”

I folded my arms. “Calre, don’t. Touch. Her. If you do, and I find out – which I will – you will be in serious trouble.”

“Vell…just look, just look.” He pulled a small box out of a shelf and opened it, revealing what looked to be a beetle. “I call it…zhe Love Bug.”

I turned my head and groaned, mumbled low, “Ugh, that’s so damned cliché.”

Looking back, I asked, “Okay…so how does it work? Don’t tell me it actually bites them, and introduces some strange chemical into their system that will attract them to certain individuals.”

He looked at me, dumbfounded. “Vell…vell yes. Zhat is exactly it. I can determine who iz bitten and who zhe bitten are attracted to.”

“…Seriously?”

“Yez, Zeriously.”

“Isn’t that…dangerous?”

“Yez…but doesn’t zhat sound so fun!?”

I sighed. “Look, you BETTER not use that on anyone. And I mean it. Especially not Cornelia.”

“Yez…Yez, I von’t.”

“…I don’t believe you. Give me the bug for now.”

“Vhat? Bu-bu-bu-”

“Caldre!”

“F-Fine…”

He handed me the box and lid, and I placed the lid on the box. “Now, it’s getting late, so I should go. Goodnight, doctor. Until we meet again.”

I turned and began leaving, though before I made it to the exit, my foot fell in something sticky. Looking down, there was a pile of goop leaking from a container.

“Uh…doctor? This container has been compromised. Might want to take a look at it.”

“Vhat?” He hurried over and looked, “Oh, no! zhank you, Enforcer! Here, a rag, I apologize for your foot.”

“Thank you, Doctor.” I took the rag and cleaned my foot before leaving the doctor to his work.

What I didn’t know was that after I had left, a sadistic smile crossed his face. “In the holiday…spirit. Uhu….Uhuhuhuhu…”

[Vintasticvin]

D: Your Valentine special is alot funnier than mines. And Happy Valtines day to you sir! *Salutes you respectfully.))

Oh man if Dr.Calre and JOE ever started up an "intellectual" conversation I honestly fear for the safety and sanity of the Arks fleet.

Valentine’s Day Special: The Love Bug. (AKA: Love sucks, sometimes.) pt.2

DISCLAIMER: "perverted" Content ahead. Just giving you that heads up.

Stepping into my room, I walked to the bed and set the box down. Rummaging through a locker, I pulled a roll of tape and used it to close the box even tighter, then placed both the tape and the box on the top shelf of the locker. I locked the locker afterwards.

“Right, well. That should be enough. Time to sleep.” I walked over to the bed and laid down, before looking at the clock. 8:00pm. I rolled over and fell asleep, imagining I’d just spend tomorrow with Cornelia; albeit with a few more jokes due to what day it was.

-MOTION DETECTED; INITIATING FORCED START-

I woke up, but remained motionless. Since I was in my room, I could identify the source of the noise using the room’s cameras and such, and determine who it was, if it was a person. The voice in my head chimed; “Bio-sign identified: FI333875; Farrid Invaal. Time of identification: 2:37am.

“…It’s entirely too early for this.” I grumbled quietly as I slowly lifted myself into a sitting position. “Lights!” The lights popped on and Farrid was standing in her Tiger Pierce at the base of the bed, her face red. We stared at each other for about 20 seconds, waiting for the other to respond.

Finally, I broke the silence, “Uh…Farrid? Did you…have a bad dream or something?”

“E-Eh? N-no, I just...” she held her hands and swiveled left and right slightly, “I just…wanted to spend the day with you…”

“…It’s 2:40 in the morning, Farrid. We’ll have plenty of time when the sun comes up.” I deadpanned.

“U-uhm! Bu-but what I had in mind is best done…a-at night.”

I sighed. “What, did you want to play with sparklers, or something?”

“N-no…” She crawled onto the bottom of the bed, her face still red, “I…I wanted to…” She started to crawl up the bed on her hands and knees.

“Uh…Farrid? Farrid? Y-you’re not acting normally.” I started to slide myself away from her, but hit the back of the bed and realized I didn’t have much place to go, seeing as my bed was in the corner. “Uh…Farrid? FARRID????”

She crawled up the bed, in between my legs, until her face was close to mine. “Hoy….do…do you mind if I…inspect you, En?” Her breathing was starting to get heavy.

“Uuuuuh…you mean, like…maintenance? S-sure, I don’t…mind.”

Her face brightened up immediately, “R-Really!? Oh, En!” She threw her arms around my neck. “I…I love you, En. ♥ ”

“Wo-woah! It’s just maintenance, Farrid. N-No need to get excited!” I feigned ignorance, hoping she might just get off me if I acted dense enough.

She giggled, pressing her body up against mine, talking low. “Oh, En…♥” She stretched the front of her Tiger Pierce out with one of her hands, exposing her breasts. She wasn’t wearing anything underneath.

“H-Hold on! Don’t you hate showing off your skin!? T-think for a second, Farrid!!”

She smiled, letting go of her clothing. It snapped back into place. “It’s En, so I don’t mind showing you…everything~♥. This is going to be a really fun maintenance…for both of us. ♥”

I turned my head, thinking to myself, “Ooooooh, this isn’t good. This is reeeeeeeally not good.”

I tried another excuse. “Farrid! Wait! I’m in this bulky Dista armor! It’s cumbersome for me to move normally, there’s no way it’d be fun for you!”

She giggled again, “Goof…I’m a mechanic, I love machines. And I’ve been studying Cast anatomy as well…” She started to trace hearts on my shoulder armor with her finger. “And I’m always watching you…when we’re together…especially when it’s just the two of us. Watching you work is really…sexy. Especially in the Dista armor. ♥”

Her face had a dreamy look to it, “Oooh, I can already imagine it.” She placed both her arms around my neck again, “Casts have amazing stamina, so you can just keep going…It’s my first time, though, so don’t be too rough with me, okay? ♥”

“I….uh…..well you see….er….” I stuttered, finally losing my composure. The voice in my head decided to be a smartass.

“Mental faculties failing.” It said flatly.

“O-oh…crap…L-LIGHTS!” My entire room was plunged into darkness, and there was a “KYAAAH!” as I pushed Farrid off of me. I immediately hoped off the bed and ran out of my room. I could hear Farrid calling after me.

“En? En?” She started to sob slightly, “I…I guess I’m not good enough…”

“Don’t…go…back in…Don’t…go…” I grumbled to myself. She kept sobbing. “Oh, I can’t help it.” I stepped back inside and was immediately jumped.

“Gotcha!” Farrid leapt and knocked me over, straddling me. “Eeeeeeen~♥” She giggled, “I knew that would work.” She had that dreamy look on her face as she placed her hands on my shoulder armor, “Hoy, Let’s do it right here, please? I…I’ll make sure you feel good!”

I sighed and looked at her. Suddenly I reached out and grabbed her bust, pushing her onto her back. “No…I’ll be making you feel good.” I replied, staring into her eyes.

She pressed her hands against her cheeks, “Hoooooooy, En is really gonna do it…Ooooh, I feel light-headed…” She fainted.

I just stayed there, locked in position for about 5 second. Then, I quickly let go of her and picked her up off the floor. “I’m really glad that actually worked.” Sighing again, I carried her over to my bed and laid her down. “Now…” I brushed her hair away from her neck, and sure enough, there was a small bite mark. Walking over to the locker, I pulled on the door. Locked. Unlocking it, I took the box off the top shelf. It was still sealed with tape. I carefully undid the tape, and checked. The beetle was still inside. Taping the box back up, I set it on the shelf, and locked the locker again.

I sighed. “Time to find Caldre.”

I locked my room behind me so no one could get in, and more importantly; so Farrid couldn’t get out. I made my way to Caldre’s lab, and pushed the doors open.

“CALDRE!!!! COME OUT THIS INSTANT!” Silence.

“CALDRE!!!!!!” Still nothing.

I walked forward and stopped in front of a table. There was a note. Picking up the note, I continued walking around the lab as I read.

“Hello, Enforcer! By now, you’ve probably been greeted by one of your friends, yes? I hope the two of you had a very…fun time together. If not, don’t worry; as I made sure to set up an opportunity with each of your attractive female friends. Farrid Invaal, JOE, Cornelia Allen. Each should offer you a very…stimulating experience. Maybe even a few individuals you aren’t aware of as well. Now, I know you’re shy when it comes to women, so I made sure to make them extra forward for you, so they would lead. No need to thank me. Now; you might be asking yourself how to turn them back to normal? Well, I made it very simple for you; the fastest way to turn them back to normal is to, well…sleep with them. It’s a win-win, right? You have fun, and they get turned back to normal. Now, the chemical isn’t fully stable so you may have to try multiple times in order to be sure; but I’m sure that won’t be a problem for you. I’ll see you when I return to the ship in a few days. And be sure to clean up afterwards.

-Harold Caldre”

I froze. I was expected to do WHAT with them!? I reread the note “A few individuals you aren’t aware of,” Just how many people did he infect!? And why did he sound like he thinks he’s helping me??? And did no one realize that some casts don’t even have the right design of chassis to support synthetic… “modifications” of that type!? Balling the note up, I threw it in a trash bin, and left.

“Okay…I don’t know how many are infected, so…size of enemy force: unknown, assume 3+. Strength: …if Cornelia is really one of the infected, she’s the biggest threat. If she tries to force herself on me with the herculean strength of hers, IIIIIIIII’m in trouble. Alertness: …ugh, they’re probably LOOKING for me, so extremely high. Probably can’t contain them all by myself, so…wait until the ship is more active and then request help. Right, so I’ll bunker down until then…”

Looking around, I wondered aloud, “Now…where to hide, where to hide…wait, there’s an idea.” I opened the map and double checked the location of the closest shooting range. “Right, it just on the other end of this hall. I’ll just lock myself in there and practice my aim a little. Two birds, one stone.”

I quickly hurried myself to the range, and walked to the doors control console. Tapping a few keys, I heard a beep from the door, signaling that it was now locked. “Okay, okay…I’m safe now…time to relax.” I walked around down the steps to the row of firing panels, and walked down to the end of the hall, into the Armory. The door to the next room, the changing room, was ajar. “Huh…that’s odd. I’ll just go ahead and close that…” I walked over and was just about to take hold of the knob, when I heard movement from the other side of the door. My hand stopped a few centimeters from the doorknob, and I instead leaned forward to peak through the crack in the door. Peering through, I was met with a hazel eye staring back at me.

I jumped back, and took a few steps away from the door. “Ah, crap, that’s –”. The door opened and JOE stepped out, in her Wing Guard, a vita beam in her hands.

“Enforcer? Are you here to practice your aim?”

“Uh…yeah, yeah, I am.” I responded, wary of her.

“Is something wrong, Enforcer?”

“…Have you been…bitten by anything in the last 7 hours, JOE?”

She furrowed her brow, “No, I haven’t. Why?”

Nodding my head, I walked to the armory door, “Good, good, you haven’t been infected yet. One of the Scientists released an experiment. He calls it “The Love Bug.” What it does is bite an individual and it makes them go after a particular target. Seems the bitten lose all inhibition.”

She stared a moment, before placing her rifle on her waist and holding her chin with her hand. “That seems…interesting. Definitely an effective tactic for causing disarray…That could throw entire platoons into disarray.”

I shook my head while taking a few practice clips for my rifle, “Indeed, Farrid already tried to have sex with me.”

“She what?” I looked back and noticed JOE actually looked…surprised.

“I said she tried to have sex with me. I know, pretty surprising, right?”

“Did she…did she succeed?”

I turned back towards the armory. “No, thankfully. I killed the lights on her and managed to get away, but ended up having to knock her out. She’s locked in my room right now.”

“I see…wait, you’re capable of having intercourse?”

“Uh…ahem…well, yes, actually. It’s relatively new technology, and it’s rather expensive, even if you’re well paid. Plus, a lot of Casts don’t see the point – we usually marry within our own race, and marriage is rare enough in cast society – it’s not seen as efficient to tie oneself to a single person, for whatever reason.” I hesitated a moment, “But…I figured if I ever did get married, it wouldn’t be to a Caseal, and I didn’t want to deprive my partner of any experience if I could help it, so…it made sense to me.”

I heard a chuckle, “Cornelia, right?”

Hanging my head, I sighed, “I didn’t say that. I just don’t really see myself with a Caseal. My race is…too stuffy for me. Oi, that reminds me – if you see something that looks like a golden, oversized beetle, destroy it. That’s the so called Love Bug.”

“Understood. It would be a bother to have more people after you.”

“Ugh, you’ve got that right. Thankfully, this armory was close, and I locked the door behind me. Once the ship becomes more active, I’ll notify security and we’ll get this entire situation fixed.”

“So that means that I have several hours alone with you. Excellent.”

I chuckled, “Yes that ri- WAIT, WHAT!?” I froze as I heard a zipper being unzipped.

“Y-you said you weren’t bit by anything, JOE.”

“Ah, yes. That was a lie.” She said plainly.

“I knew I should have checked you myself.”

“I wouldn’t worry; you’ll be able to check my entire body in a moment, Enforcer.”

“I – I’m sorry, I should go back to my room and check to see if Farrid is alright…plus I really need to calibrate this rifle, soooo –”

“I’m afraid you won’t be leaving this room for a few hours, Enforcer. I’m sure Farrid is fine. As for your other task…” I heard what sounded like clothes being dropped on the floor. “…I’d be happy to “calibrate your rifle”. Especially if that includes you “discharging” it.”

I turned around and vainly tried to reason with her, “Now see he - !!!” Naked. She was completely naked save for her lower underwear. And her hat. But the thing that struck me the most was the fact that there were no less than 18 scars covering her body. I didn’t stop to look more. Swiveling back, I stuttered, “Th-this isn’t something you really want to do! You’re not in your right mind!”

“I think you’re the one not in your right mind. A sexy woman is undressing for you and you’re not going to do anything to her.”

“Tha- That’s not the issue here!” I felt something soft press against my back. “Gnhk! R-Really, JOE, you shouldn’t be doing this!”

“Call me Josephine, Enforcer…”

“F-Fine, Josephine. Still – you need to stop this!”

“Don’t want to.”

“…Oi.”

“Is it because my chest isn’t as big as Cornelia’s?”

“What? No!”

“Good, they’re too big to be practical anyway.”

“Oi…”

“So? What is it? Why?”

“Because you’re not in your right mind! The purpose of that bug is to make you do this, it isn’t natural!”

She suddenly pulled on my left arm and turned me around before pressing her chest against mine. “So, do you like my “ballistics”?”

“I…uh…er….ye-yes, they’re fine.”

“And if I was in my right mind, you’d “engage” me all night?”

“Ah…er…I ‘might’…do it with you. “Might”.”

She tripped me up with her leg and I fell, and she hopped on top of me, taking her breasts in her hands. “Hey…Enforcer. Do you find me sexy?”

I sighed, “Yes, under normal circumstances.”

She bounced her body a few times, “What about right now?”

Grumbling to myself, I ‘might’ have mumbled, “…yes” quietly.

She smiled, “Don’t you just want to forget about morals and go at it like animals?”

“Ghnk…”

“Hey…your rifle is big, right? Really big? And Casts can operate for such a long time without getting tired. We could engage in a cooperative mission all night and you wouldn’t be tired…that would be amazing, Enforcer…”

She laid down on top of me, “Hey…let’s start an engagement, okay? Please?...I want you to make me feel good…” She pecked my forehead with a kiss. “Come on…Start an engagement, I’ll put up a hell of a fight. ♥ We still have to calibrate your rifle, too. Come on, you can fire off as many practice shots as you want.”

“Th-this should be something you do with someone you really like…”

She looked up, and smiled, her face flushing. “I…do really like you.” She rest her head on my shoulder. “You’re…really good in a fight, and you know what you’re doing. Plus you don’t have an ego like most damn Casts. You’re an amazing piece of hardware, and your hardware is sure to overwhelm my defenses. I…I…” Her face flushed even more, than suddenly…she fainted.

I picked myself up slightly, and looked down at her now sleeping form. Carefully placing my hand on her back, I rolled her off of me, and stood up. “So…Farrid is out cold, and now…Josephine has fainted…heh, sorry Doc, your medicine is a dud.” I carefully dressed JOE back up, and set her in a sitting position in the dressing room. “This is just getting more and more strange…maybe I shouldn’t stay here…”

I quietly left the range, and walked around. Turning a random corner, I run smack into Hivernia, who was in her rank armor. “Hi-Hivernia? What are you doing – DWAAAAAH!?” The yellow Caseal immediately tackled me and straddled me. “Why…do I always…end up like this!?”

She clapped her hands repeatedly, chanting “Dewa! Dewa! Dewa! Dewaaaaaa!” Staring at her a few more seconds before letting my head drop back, I bemoaned my situation,

“Sheeeeeeeeee’s infected, for sure. Nooooot again.”

“Enforcer! I demand you perform a hard link with me!” There was a hiss, and her chest armor popped off, revealing her bust. She was…larger than I expected. She then began cradling her face with her hands, a slightly crazed look on her face. “The data transfer…there’ll be so much!…Uhuhu….Uhuhuhuhuhu!”

I immediately shoved her off and ran. “NO! Nonononononono!” Looking behind me, she was chasing me, fumbling with trying to get her chestpiece back on. I turned a corner, ran, turned another corner, ran, and then turned two corners in quick succession. Then I ran some more. Just when I thought I got away, I turned right into a red cast. I thought I was safe, until a heard a familiar noise.

“BEEP. BOOP. COME GET A HANDFUL OF GIGAWUTS. BEEP. BOOP.”

I stared for a second before yelling, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ” and bolted in the opposite direction.

Looking back, both Hivernia and Giga were chasing me. Occasionally I heard a “BEEP. BOOP.” come from behind me. After being chased by them for several minutes, I ran into…Farrid and JOE. Both of them pointed at me with pleased looks on their faces. “FOUND YOU!” They cried in unison. Farrid leapt at me, but I ducked. Then JOE tried to grab my legs, but I hopped as she went sailing under me. I took off as soon as my feet connected to the ground again. I looked back and saw the four of them chasing me. “Oooooh, great.” Turning a corner, I met a purple Caseal in a witch’s hat. I ran past her. Looking back, she had joined the chase. I met a Newy with a silver ponytail. Running past her, I looked back to find SHE was chasing me as well. I nearly TRIPPED OVER Ce’Nedra, who yelled obscenities and “BAKA! I was going to give you the honor of making me hate Casts less! BAKABAKABAAAAAAKA!” (She started chasing me too, if you’re curious.) Turning a corner I ran into Serizawa. We stared at each other for a few second before saying “No.” in unison and walked in separate directions. With the small crowd in tow I continued being chased around the Arks ship for about ten minutes, running through hallways and evading the occasional obstacle or gunshot from behind me. Suddenly, around one corner, I got tripped up by a pair of wires hanging from the ceiling. Struggling to get free, I realized that they were attached to…Lambda…Jagriath. “Oh…crap.” I was almost immediately pulled up into the ceiling after saying this. Upon being pulled up, I had a pair of hands pressed over my ‘mouth.’ The arms disappeared into the darkness in front of me, and a voice called seductively from the mass of shadows.

“Eeeeeeeeeeen~♥”

And the song I imagined playing during that entire ordeal of En being chased.

I spatted my liquer out from laughing at that part.

[yoshiblue]

How did Joe go from fainting to chasing En so fast? Must be some strong urges.

[Enforcer MKV]

How did Joe go from fainting to chasing En so fast? Must be some strong urges.

Dem animalistic instincts, man. Theeeeeeey be scary. Plus what ever Caldre put in that mixture...phew, not nice.

[yoshiblue]

Glad I don't have to deal with that.

[Enforcer MKV]

Glad I don't have to deal with that.

Quite.

[Ce'Nedra]

This scene wouldn't be complete without the gigawuts xD

Also no, Nedra better be chasing to kill you, cause such mixture even won't make her like cast more, specially sexually

[gigawuts]

Beep boop :]

[Enforcer MKV]

Glad you liked it. :P

[Skye-Fox713]

What do you think of what happened to JOE? :lol:

Absolutely loved that part, especially the language and wording that you used was perfect and very spot on for her character if she was under the influence of some very heavy drugs like the Love Bug.

I wrote that entire part then went back and reworded it. Glad you liked it and my effort paid off. /o/

Would have gotten better worse if I'd continued, buuuuuuut I think the next step would be pushing my bounds a little too much.

I just heard next chapter is in detail describing how Cornelia is raping enforcer /o/ :3

Man, I need to proofread these better. Way too many careless mistakes...

Valentine’s Day Special: The Love Bug. (AKA: Love sucks, sometimes.) pt.4

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any puking brought about by mushy stuff going on between a certain Cast and Newman. That is all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sighed and switched to Night Vision. “…Hewwo Cornewia. Mind wetting go ob me?”

She giggled uncontrollably. “You sound so funny!”

“Gweat. Now web me go.”

“Fiiiiiiiiine.” She took her hands off my face, and pouted.

I shook my head and looked back down into the hall, “Thanks for the save, by the way. Now then…” I quietly slid the panel back over the hole Cornelia pulled me up, then leaned over and grabbed Cornelia’s wrist.

“Hyah!?” E-En!?”

“Relax, I’m just checking something…”

“N-no! Let go! Stoooooop! Enforcer is a perveeert!”

I grabbed her other wrist and pushed her down. Turning off my Night Vision, the only thing illuminating the area were the lights on my body. They cast a blue glow over the Newman, who had her head turned to the right, her face crimson. She was squirming, trying to get loose of my grip. She was also shivering. I realized that the area was actually rather drafty.

“You DO realize I’m not going to let go of you until you stop resisting, right?”

“M-my my…y-you’re so bold, En…F-fine.” She clamped her eyes shut and started breathing heavier. I felt her arms relax as she stopped fighting. She was still shivering.

“Finally…I’ll just be a second.” I tugged at the material around her neck, pulling it down.

“…Eh? W-Where is it?” I pulled the other side of the material, checking the opposite side of her neck. “Wa-wait, then why was the way she talked so…No, it’s gotta be here.” I pulled the material a little more, checking the top of her collar bone. “I-It’s not here…meaning…” I looked at her face; she was staring at me with a pissed expression, her eye twitching, and her face still red.

“En…if you’re finished…Get…OFF OF ME!!!” She slugged me, sending me onto my back, my foot in the air twitching.

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW…….” I felt dazed, “I…I can…explain…oi-vey, my freaking head…”

“I-Idiot! You push me down, try to take advantage of me, then say you can explain!?” She had one arm covering her bust, the other balled into a fist, she was still in a sitting position, but she looked mad enough to fight. I could tell even in the dark with that tone in her voice.

“As….as soon as…my servos stop….spinning…just five….five more minutes…oooooooi…..”

We stayed there in silence for about 5 minutes until the darkness stopped spinning. Finally, I picked myself up and crawled over to Cornelia, whose response was to crawl away slightly and shoot me a glance that nearly froze the oil running through me.

“If looks could kill” I grumbled. “Anyway. Uh, you remember Dr. Caldre, right? Well, he made this crazy contraption he calls the Love Bug, and –”

“The “Love Bug”? Really, En? You know that’s lame.”

“That’s what I thought too. See, it bites the victim, and they lose all inhibition. Then they hunt a target and try to…uh…mate with it.”

She stared at me. “…My my. I didn’t realize you thought I was this stupid.”

“What!? No! I mean it! Farrid, JOE and Hivernia all already tried to have sex with me!”

“En, you can’t even HAVE sex!”

“Yes I can!”

She looked at me, half dazed. “Wait…y-you can?”

I looked away. “Y-yeah, I can.”

She looked fully dazed, “Wha…you…you can?” She rubbed her hands up her arms, “Wh-whatever, let’s just leave, it’s chilly up here.”

“..Ahem, right, right.” I slid a panel clear, and hopped down. Cornelia followed, moving the panel back in place before dropping. She looked in both directions.

“So, let’s go…Eh? W-wait, En!?”

I grabbed her hand, lacing my fingers through hers. “I have an idea of where we can go. Come on, hurry.” And pulled her along with me. I didn’t notice, but the green-haired girl’s face was turning scarlet. Before long, we reached Cornelia’s room. “Come on, Cornelia, we’ll be able to ta- Cornelia?” I looked back, and realized her face was crimson. “Cor…Cornel-”

“I-I’m fine!” she hurried past me into her room. I followed her in and looked around.

“Cornelia? Where are you? You need to lock the door so no one can get in!”

“R-right!” she hurried out of her bedroom and over to the console, locking the door, though she fumbled with the buttons on the panel.

“Oi – Cornelia, why are you so nervous?”

“I…well, this is a pretty weird situation, right?”

“What, so you believe me now?”

“Yeah – I mean, of course. You wouldn’t lie…right?”

I tilted my head to the left, “well…no, I was being serious, but…”

“A-Anyway!” She grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the couch. “You sit down, I’ll go get something.” She scurried off into the other room as I sat down. I could hear her giggling to herself.

“…She’s obviously infected. But…there was no bite mark. Maybe…she’s drunk? No, I would have detected alcohol…best course is to assume infection, bite or no…ugh, she’ll probably come out in a negligee or something…”

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeen~♥”

I braced myself, and looked back. She was still in her Neighbor Quartz, but she had a platter…with tea cups? I sighed, and leaned back into the cushion of the couch, mumbling to myself. “Okay, well, that’s good.” Cornelia stepped over to the couch and set the platter on the table, and handed me a cup. I stared at it a moment before looking at her, “Uh…Cornelia? No mouth?”

I watched as her face slowly turned red again. “Oh…Oh, light! En, I’m s-so…”

I sighed and set the cup back on the platter, “Cornelia…have you been bitten in the last 8 hours or so?”

She looked at me and smiled, “Hold on~” She said sweetly before going into the back.

I stared as she left. “…Why do I have a bad feeling about this..?” I tried to relax, but the second I began to ease, I heard Cornelia behind me.

“Oh, Enfoooooorcer~”

I turned to see what she wanted, and was stunned, “W-well, I was right, at least.” She was standing there in a green negligee, her hand on the doorframe. She smiled and crossed the room.

“Co-Cornelia…R-remember what I said about losing all inhibition? Ah…uh…well, yeah, perfect example, right here!” She didn’t answer me and instead just continued smiling as she sat down on the couch next to me. She threw her one leg over the other, looked at me, and winked.

“En~”

“Ah…er…ehm…Yes, Cornelia?”

“May I…get closer to you?”

“Ah….uh….I….I don’t…Ahem…I…don’t mind…”

“Good~” She crawled over towards me and I shifted my body towards her, “Y-you know this is a bad, idea, Cornelia…right?”

“Noooo~ Ufufufu~” She whispered as she slid her arms around my neck and pressed her forehead against mine. “Hey…En?”

“Hm?”

“You won’t…disappear, will you? You won’t disappear like –” I pressed a finger against her mouth.

“I won’t.”

She nuzzled up against me, resting her head against mine. “I’m so happy…”

“…Hey, En?”

“Yes, Cornelia?”

“You promise you won’t disappear?”

I sighed and patted the back of her head as she continued resting against the side of mine. “I promise.” She just replied with “Good.” I felt her take her arms and wrap them around my torso as best she could, causing my internal temperature to rise from embarrassment. I also heard her begin to purr.

“You’re…really warm, En.”

“Only because you’re starting to make me overheat…”

“My my…♥”

She took one of her hands from around my torso and grabbed my hand. Then she placed it against her breast. “You…really like mine, right?”

“I...y-yes…”

“En…please stay with me.”

I couldn’t take anymore at that point. Pushing her onto her back with a “Kyaah!,” I slid my hand under her negligee and squeezed her chest.

“Aaahn! My, my…En, you ah-animal…♥” There were tears forming in the corners of her eyes as her face flushed. “Hey…En, I…love you…”

I sighed and pulled my hand out from under her evening wear, then slid it behind her and lifted her upper body in a hug. “Goodnight, Cornelia.” As I laid her down, she was already out cold. “Hm…wonder why this didn’t happen with Farrid as quickly? Maybe because she has mixed blood?”

I got up off the couch, and retrieved a blanket, which I laid over Cornelia. Afterwards, I walked to the wall by the door, and sat down. Checking the time, I found that only about an hour and a half passed. “Sheesh, all that and it’s only 4am…”

I sat there and thought about the ordeal with Cornelia just now and shivered. After about an hour, she woke up, pulling herself up and looking around. Upon spotting me, her face flushed, and she disappeared behind the couch again.

“Oooooooooooh, what did I doooooooooooo!?” She moaned.

“Hm? You…remember everything?”

“Y-yes!”

“Hoooo, boy. This’ll get awkward when I see everyone…”

She poked her head up, the cover over it, and grumbled “You…touched me.”

“Uh….er….I-I’m sorry.”

“My my…” She got up, with the cover wrapped around her, walked over, and plopped down beside me on the floor. After a minute, she threw the cover around me (I’d gotten her the first cover I could find, and it had been REALLY big) and scooted close, resting her head on my shoulder. “I…I won’t do anything to you. I just…don’t feel like sleeping alone right now…”

“…Understood.”

After about 5 minutes she fell asleep again. I quietly sat there, keeping silent vigil over the sleeping Newman, unable to get over how beautiful she looked as she slept.

Aww such a cute ending Enforcer ^.^

[yoshiblue]

Twas an interesting day to the end.

[Skye-Fox713]

I wrote that entire part then went back and reworded it. Glad you liked it and my effort paid off. /o/

Would have gotten better worse if I'd continued, buuuuuuut I think the next step would be pushing my bounds a little too much.

Very nice end to the V. Day special.

On another note I was just thinking about this is that I suppose you could say the scene with Enforcer and JOE in the shooting range could be called a "tactical take-down." A bit of a Pun but i think it fits quite well.

[yoshiblue]

Now to animate it! Don't forget to sneak me into the background!

[Ce'Nedra]

Now to animate it! Don't forget to sneak me into the background!

Watching Nedra animated chasing Enforcer in order to kill him? Sign me up!

[Enforcer MKV]

just to point this out...there's a small ending I still need to post. I'm not done yet. XD

Oh, ho. Looking forward to it.

Valentine’s Day Special: The Love Bug. (AKA: Love sucks, sometimes.) pt.5

---------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, she woke up. As I looked at her, she looked at me, her ponytail messed up.

“Morning, Cornelia. Sleep well?”

Yawning, she smiled, “mmhmmm…the pillow is a little hard, though…just five more minutes…I swear I’ll get up…” and proceeded to scoot closer and attempt to rest her head on the protruding, center section of my chest. Suddenly, she shot back, realizing what she was doing, the cover falling off her shoulders.

“E-EN?! Why am I sleeping on you!?”

“You said you didn’t want to sleep alone.”

“Eh…?”

She sat there, and slowly recalled the events from earlier, seemingly. Her face turned a deep red. “I…we…eeeeeeeh…” She looked down and realized what she was wearing, and in front of whom, and screamed before snatching the cover, wrapping it around her, and running back into her room, the end of the cover trailing after her through her bedroom door. I roared with laughter as this went on, finding it quite funny. A few minutes later she stepped back in, properly clothed. She looked at me, and I popped off a salute.

“Excellent display there, ma’am.”

“Hmph! Jerk!” She crossed the distance and began attacking me with her fists. I just laughed and raised my arm, letting her strikes hit that; and began trying to swat her fists. After a minute or so of that, she went “Hmph!” again, and went to the couch, where she plopped down and folded her arms. I stood up and walked over, sitting next to her, causing her to turn her head in the other direction. “Cornelia?” She ignored me. “Corneeelia.” Still ignored. “I’ll buy you a Sachertorte.”

Her eyes immediately lit up as she quickly turned towards me. “Okay!”

“Well, that wasn’t hard.” I quipped, patting her on the head. She had a pleased look on her face, and I could hear her purring quietly. She was probably thinking about the Sachertorte. “Anyway, we need to go find security, and inform them of these love bugs. Hopefully they won’t be hard to find.”

“Then can we get the Sachertorte?”

“After we deal with these things.”

“My my…” She grabbed my hand and pulled, “Let’s goooo.”

“You just want your Sachertorte.”

“Ufufufu~♥”

We got to the security office (More like Cornelia dragged me there) and we informed the officers of the bugs. Once I retrieved the bug from my room, they managed to locate the others easily, since they matched the one I took. About an hour later, they’d rounded up all the other bugs (They used a scanning device to find objects similar to the bug I kept in the box.) The situation was resolved quickly and quietly without much incident, save for a few bruised egos. Speaking of which…

I sat on my bed, a pair of female Rangers standing in front of me, Cornelia sitting by my side. The blue haired one clapped her hands together and started bowing profusely.

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! I’m so sorry, En! It won’t happen again, I swear!”

I shook my head. “It’s fine, Farrid, it’s fine. You weren’t in your right mind.”

“Still! A-All those things I said to you, whe-when you have…” She glanced at Cornelia, who looked away, scratching the side of her head.

I waved my hands in front of me, “Really, it’s fine. Everything turned out fine in the end.”

“O-okay…”

Next was the orange haired Ranger’s turn. She kept her arms by her side, and bowed once. “I apologize, I’ve shown you an unprofessional side of myself.”

I waved my hand dismissively, “Like I said – it wasn’t your fault. Everything is good, now.”

“Understood, Enforcer…” There was an awkward silence that followed.

“So…” I began, “Why…don’t we all go out to lunch or something?” I lifted my arm, “Have to change out of these bulky parts, first…”

The three of them turned and looked at me. Cornelia was the first to reply, “I-is that okay, En?”

“I don’t see why not. But you three have to pay for your own meals, because of the trouble you put me through. Ha!”

Farrid blushed. JOE scratched the back of her head. Cornelia half-smiled, “My my~”

“Go on, you three. I’ll be there in a second.” The three of them got up and left, and I walked into the side room, stepping out a few moments later in my Hunter set. I met them outside, and we left for the city blocks.

Walking down a set of stairs, the four of us reached a landing, with more stairs leading down. At the bottom of these stairs, skulking around, was a certain Doctor. Farrid and JOE, who was standing to the right of me on the other side of Cornelia, took notice of him, and glared.

“JOE? I think I’d like to have a talk with him.”

“Yes…I have a few interrogation techniques I’d like to try…”

“GET ‘IM!” The two of them took off down the stairwell towards him. The doctor looked up, realized who was targeting him, and bolted, Farrid and JOE hot on his trail.

I looked at Cornelia, who stayed, standing next to me. “You…sure you don’t want to go after them as well?”

“No…I think I’m happy with what I have here~♥” I felt her lace her fingers through mine.

“Cornelia…”

“You never asked me where I got bitten. Curious?”

“Uh…sure.” She leaned in close and whispered. I leaned away, slightly, in surprise. “Wh-what!?”

“Ufufufu~ Maybe you’ll get to see it sometime…” She smiled and leaned in, kissing me on what amounted to my cheek.

“O-Oi…you tease…”

“Ufufufu~♥”

[Author's note: Right...because it's only been a month since the main story updated. Ya'll remember where we left off, right? 8D]

------------------------------------------------

Then, I saw a red glare through the haze. Slowly the light grew brighter, and large, shield like objects began appearing through the sandstorm. “Ah, shi-” I clicked my comms back on. “Farrid, JOE! Wonda in the AO, both variants! Are the two of you at the next APC yet?”

Farrid answered me, “Yeah – just got the door open. We found the drivers, too. Orders?”

“Just have them stay with you; you’ll be safer if you stick together.”

“Understood, En. Hoy! You three! Stay in the APC with us, alright? Sorry about that.”

“It’s fine. Stay safe, Farrid.”

“Hoy, I’m not the one out there in the middle of it. Don’t…don’t push yourself too hard, En. You know you have that bad tendency.”

“I’ll be fine.”

She sighed into the mic. “You better be…Alright, getting to work again. Farrid out.”
Switching back to my Aristin, I Looked towards the Wonda. Placing my weapon on my back, I ran towards them, dodging the small fry. As I got close, there was a strong gust from the sandstorm, so I raised my hand since even for machines, this sand was damaging. Lowering my hand, I was suddenly met by a Wonda’s shield ramming against me, sending me flying. I hit the group hard, sending sand flying and groaned.

“Oooh, that smarts…” Getting to my feet, I realized I’d landed in the center of a group of Dagan. They were all glaring at me.

“…Right. This’ll be easy.” My left hand glowed white, and I raised it above my head. As I willed it, blades of light appeared around me and spun, wiping out all the enemies around me. Lowering my hand, a white glow remained for a few seconds, even as I grabbed the hilt of my sword and slowly made my way towards the Wondas again, covered in sand. I slashed any of the Darkers that attacked me on my way. This time, I slipped past the Wonda’s shield, only to be met by the wall of the Darker behind it. The shield hit my sword, which I raised in front of me at the last second. The shield-bearer and I stood there, locked. I heard movement behind me, and looked. The Wonda that I had maneuvered past turned in my direction and began to move towards me quickly, trying to crush me between the two shields.

Diving out of the way, I swore. “Ah, shi-” before landing face first into the sand. I Looked back and saw the two Wonda stomp towards me. I jumped back up – or tried to. About halfway through my jump, my right leg locked up, causing me to fall face first again. I already knew the problem. The sand; it was finding its way into my joints. “Ah, come on…” I rolled onto my back and saw the Wonda position the bottom of its shield over me. Throwing my sword above me, my arms locked from the sand. “Oh, dammit!” The Wonda dropped the shield down, and the base and sword met, straining against each other. “I… am not…going…to die…here!” I activated a self-repair sequence, and I felt fluid – from a monomate – seep out of my joints, clearing them of sand. “I still…have…to bring her…BACK!” I pushed hard against the base of the shield, the sudden exertion of force catching the Wonda off guard. The shield arm was thrown upwards, and I used the opportunity to jump to my feet and slash the shield-bearer’s legs, causing it to fall back. I ran towards the second Wonda and dropped to my back, sliding through the sand between its legs. Jumping back to my feet, I thrust my sword into the back of the Wonda, at a small red point. The Wonda flailed its arms for about ten second before it stopped moving. I pulled my sword from the creature’s back and it fell forward. Walking over to the first Wonda, it was struggling to get back to its feet. I kicked it in the leg and it fell forward. The blade of my sword found its way into this creature’s weakpoint, and I watched as the Wonda’s non-shield hand groped the air hopelessly before falling into the sand. I looked around and started making my way towards the nearest group of Darkers. Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice cracked over my comms.

“This is Skyhawk 7-4, assigned to personal overwatch of Enforcer MkX. Enforcer MkX, do you have visual confirmation?”

I scanned the sky, looking for Skyhawk 7-4 through the storm. After a few seconds, I located the gunship hovering in the sky. “That’s affirmative, Skyhawk 7-4. How’re you holding up in the storm?”

“Understood, Enforcer. Holding up well enough. Visibility is piss poor, but she stays airborne.”

“Good to hear, 7-4. Now what’s this about overwatching me?”

The gunship shifted in the air, and began firing on the Darkers near me. “My directive is to escort you to a structure 500 meters to the Northeast. Then I’m to reinforce Echo 2-6 and Hammer 8-1 until the APCs are repaired.”

“And then?”

“I assume I’ll be running security detail for various elements.”

“Understood. Who’s the leader of Hammer 8-1.”

“A cast by the name of Welrich, sir.”

“…Follow me back to the APCs, Skyhawk. I need to check on my unit.”

“…Er…yes…sir?”

I started making my way back towards the APCs. About halfway there, JOE contacted me. “Enforcer; suggest you get back here ASAP. The unit that arrived is…sexually harassing Ms. Invaal.”

“I freaking knew it. I’m en route!” I broke out into a sprint. Making it back to the APCs, I stopped and stomped towards the shouting I heard.

“H-Hoy! L-Let go of me! DON’T TOUCH ME!”

“HAHAHA! Come on, baby. We’re the Calvary! Give us a little reward! Hahaha!”

“HYAH! D-Don’t touch my bre- KYAAA!”

As I stomped towards them, I saw four casts standing in a circle. Welrich was standing with one of the APCs behind him. Two of the autoguns were firing. I saw JOE standing nearby, rifle half raised. My voice boomed over the Sandstorm.



“WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIICH!”



The Heavy cast, in his Colossus armor, looked up, “Hey Enforcer! Still working in mixed units? You picked a couple hot ones, eh!?”

I shoved one of the Casts out of the way. “Don’t you ever – EVER. TOUCH HER AGAIN!” I stomped up to Welrich, who had his hands clasped over Farrid’s bust, and grabbed him by the face. The Cast immediately released Farrid, who scrambled away, and tried to pull my hand off. “H-Hey! Enforcer! What are you doing!?”

“Putting you in your place.” I slammed his head into the side of the APC, denting its armor. I leaned in towards him as I held his head against the APC. “You do not touch woman like that against their will. You do not touch my squad.” I squeezed his head harder, “And you don’t. touch. Farrid.”

“Haha – Wh-what’s the matter, Enforcer? Already switched to another woman after losing your busty Newman friend?”

I didn’t realize it, but my lights shifted to red in front of everyone. “You sonuva-!” I pulled him away from the APC and spun him around, bending him over before running his head into the APC again. I pulled him back again and shoved him to the ground. Placing my foot onto his chest, I drew my sword and rammed it into the ground right next to his neck.

“Keep. Your vocabulator. QUIET. Don’t you dare talk like Cornelia is lost. Do you hear me? You know NOTHING.” I pressed my foot against his chest, increasing the pressure I was putting on it. “Bastards like you are the reason our race is looked down upon by some, you mechanical nimrod. Killing you would be a service to all of our races.” I raised the sword and shoved it into the ground on the opposite side of Welrich’s neck. “Lucky for you? I’m busy and can’t afford to deal with murder charges or court orders.” I pulled the sword out of the ground and placed it on my back. I took my foot off his chest and pulled his up, looking him in the eyes.

“Are you going to bring Cornelia up again, Soldier?”

“N-no sir.”

“Are you going to touch my group, Soldier?”

“N-no sir.”

“Good call.” I shoved him away and started to walk off. I stopped and pointed at JOE. “If Welrich so much as gets too close to Farrid; shoot him. If one of his men gets too close to her? Shoot them both. Non-lethally.”

“…Yes, Enforcer.”

I walked around the side of one of the other APCs. Farrid was inside, her arms around her chest. She looked up, “E-En?...”

I sighed and stepped inside the APC, “Hey…come here a second.”

“Wh-what happened to you, En?” There was a red glow on her face. I lifted my arm and looked at it. The normally blue lights were red.

“I…don’t know. He just…made me angry.”

“But…En…you almost never get angry. At least not like that.”

“Heh, first time for everything. Are you okay?”

Her face flushed, “Y-yeah, I’m okay.”

My red lights faded back to blue, “Good…good…Look, I need you to stay here and get that last gun operational. Welrich won’t bother you. JOE will watch over you.”

She looked down. “What about you?”

“I’m being ordered to a structure to the Northeast. Don’t really know the details yet.”

“…I’d feel safer if you were here.”

“So would I. But hey – orders. You’ll be fine. If anyone tries something on you? Knock their block off. You’ve got JOE here, as well. You’ll be okay.”

“Mm-hm…”

I tugged the scarf around her neck up so it covered her face. “And make sure you watch your face in this storm. Don’t want anything to happen to it, yeah?”

Her face turned slightly red, “Hoy. Go on, you have something you need to do, right? Don’t worry, I’ll be okay. Watch yourself out there, okay En?”

I patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry, I will.”

With that, I stepped back, back out into the raging sandstorm. “Pilot! It’s about time we get going. Try to keep a visual on me.”

“No need, Enforcer. I just got permission to fly you there myself.”

I nodded, “Good deal.”

The gunship quickly touched down and I clambered inside the hatch that opened in the back. Making my way towards the front, the pilot looked back and smiled, “Damn Enforcer, that bad outside huh? That’s a lot of sand on you.”

I sat down on one of the seats. “Yeah. Visuals and sensors are buggered, and it messes with mobility. It’s a nightmare out there.”

“I bet. Contact the Commander, by the way. She wants to talk to you about why you’re heading out here.”

“Understood. Thanks, Mr....?”

“Troy. Alexander Troy.”

“I see…thank you, Mr. Troy.”

I clicked my comms on. “Commander? Care to explain why I’m heading out here alone?”

There was gunfire in the background, lots of noise. A hell of a lot more than when Farrid and I had been there. “One second, Enforcer. I NEED SOMEONE TO REINFORCE THE LEFT WALL, WE HAD KRAHDA SPOTTED THERE HALF AN HOUR AGO! WHERE THE HELL IS FEROS 2-2? I WANT THEM ON THE NORTHWEST WALL! RECALL ALL TEAMS EXCEPT ECHO 2-6 and HAMMER 8-1! I WANT THIS WHOLE DAMN AREA LOCKED DOWN IN 15! Anyway, Enforcer, where were we?”

“We were at the part where you blew my auditory sensors out. Oivey.” I quipped, my voice thick with sarcasm. “Anyway…Why am I going to this structure alone?”

“We want you to recon the area. Seems that the Darkers are intentionally avoiding that area. I want to know why.”

“Okay…but why alone?”

“Because you’re the closest one there and Ms. Invaal needs to repair the turrets.”

“…Right.”

“So, your standing orders are thus: Recon the area to the best of your ability and find out why that area is so empty, if possible. And don’t die, Enforcer. I need you alive.”

“Heh. Yes, ma’am.”

“Hey, Enforcer! We’re here. Ready for an airdrop?”

I looked down at my sand covered body and looked back at Alexander. “You really think I’m going to jump? Ooooh, no. Set her down nice and easy, Mr. Troy.”

“Ha! Aye-aye, Enforcer.”

I felt the gunship descend. As the door opened, I stepped to the edge and hopped out. Pulling my Sarhaling out in pistol mode, I held it with both hands around the grip, and began making my way inside the structure, which was a large tower. A ramp ran down under the planet’s surface.

“Two more things, Enforcer.”

“Hm?”

“That place seems to be a labyrinth, from what we can tell. And ARIS is interested in that place, so stay on your toes.”

“…Great, just what I need. Spooks.”

Its Meji not Meiji lol. Cocona still to short? ;o

Also I seriously need to update my NPC. It's still level 48 or something while I'm 54 xD

Farrid is cute as well ;o

*pouts* ._.

I'd be okay with Cocona making some kind of guest appearance. I'm currently developing her own story (which I hope to stop being a lazy butt about and begin typing) so I'm not sure on a permanent integration, but message me and I'm sure we can work something out :O
