Jumper:
By now I had been wondering for what seemed like hours, before managing to hear a splashing sound, "No way....." I mutter softly before heading to the sound, heading down a corridor that seemed to be used recently.
I enter into the large chamber, my rifle at the ready and torch on, "No f*cking way" I sigh as I look at the water below, but it wasn't water. Around the lake were many steep inclines, and at the bottom of one I notice a man standing on it, gawking at the liquid.
I turn the magnification on on my shades and look, surprised at what I see. I raise my hands and shout, "Hey Con! Small World!!!" I shout loudly, hoping he could hear it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jackal ~~~~~~~~
I managed to climb down from the higher level of the chamber in time to catch up with the two agents, making sure to stay out of sight.

Snake ran past Wilkes, giving him a quick look and a gesture that could be interpreted as "Thanks for saving my sorry ass". He hunkered down behind some rubble, preferring not to watch the firefight. He wanted to check on Con, but figured he'd better wait until the worst was over. When he was sure no one was looking, he started fiddling with his robot controls.
---
Meanwhile, Con looked up to see who had shouted to him. He couldn't quite see who it was, but it sounded like Jenkins, aka Helljumper. Con knew he should've been surprised to see him here, but he wasn't. Somehow, he just felt like he'd already had too many surprises already, and he was all out of surprise for the day.
"Hey!" he shouted back. "Long time no see! You can take whatever you want. Just remember, for the record, I saw it first."
Con took out a small disposable camera and tried snapping a photo. The camera didn't work, no doubt damaged during the fall, but the flash did go off. With the chamber well illuminated for the first time, Con realized something wasn't right. He sat down by the edge of the lake, eying it quizzically. He picked up a small rock and lobbed it into the middle. The rock made a sizable splash, ripples and all, and quickly sunk. It didn't behave like something should when submerged in molten metal. Rather, it acted just like it would have if it had been tossed into..
"Water," Con completed his thought aloud. "It looks like gold, but it's water." He leaned forward and held his hand near the surface, then quickly dipped his fingertips in. "What the hell? It's not even warm!" He sat back and shook his head, wondering what he was supposed to do now.

We finally touch down on knee deep water.
"Okay, this is freezing." I say, activating a chest flashlight.
I keep my hand on the wall of the cavern and I walk slowly.
"Come on, keep up." I say.

"Little cold water never hurt anyone."
Heh, water. cold water, you'd think it'd be warm considering there is supposed to be a molten lake down here.
Drake kept these thoughts to himself, it might be leading to less of a workload in the long run. ***************************************************
PATRIOT hefted the last rock aside and stepped into the lake chamber. Taking quick scans of the two occupants.
"Blacklight soldier....and unnafiliated agent. The pair of you will stand down now and assist in securing my gold."
His visor weapon heated up to make his point. Keeping his weapon trained on them meant he didn't notice Con's discovery yet.

"Well, it's moving water, so there's a drop off poi- shit!" I exclaim right before I lose my footing and fall on my back and slide downwards, but not before grabbing Drake's Sarashi and pulling him down with me.

"Son of a!"
As we slide down I lose several of my arrows and my weapon belt. Pulling my short sword I dig it into the walls of the tunnel and grab misaki by the wrist to stop our descent.
"Dammit, you couldn't have been more careful?"

"I didn't know that the drop off would be that soon!" I exclain, pointing my wrist at a wall and a piton launches out and I swing to it and onto solid ground.
"Let's hope you know how to wall rebound." I say, crossing my arms and waiting for him.

ooc: why the hell is the ad banner displaying wedding ring shopping?
ic:
"Try ditching the SERINA and relying on your senses once in a while. That kind of tech will get you killed."
Standing up and yanking the sword out, Drake got a run up on the incline before leaping over to the ledge Misaki was at and climbing up rapdily.
"Okay, you need anything before we continue?"

"I think we have to push this..." I say.

The talking robot was definitely unexpected. Con stood up slowly, trying not to give away what he was thinking. He put up his hands.
"Alright, metal man, take it easy. No reason to start vaporizing anybody. We didn't know it was yours. I didn't see your serial number on it."
Just then, he thought he heard someone talking behind a nearby wall, followed by movement.
"But hey, all joking aside, something tells me you're going to have bigger problems on your hands soon..."
---
Snake stayed back while the others fought the Venezuelan team. Damn, this is getting out of hand. Guess it's now or never... He flipped a switch on his controls and got back to work.
---
Outside, Snake's jeep sat abandoned near the wall opening. Miniraptor, another of Snake's robots, flew around to the jeep and landed atop the large crate in the back. Its insectoid legs fumbled clumsily with the straps securing the crate to the jeep bed. After a moment, it managed to undo them, then crawled over and settled down in the front.
A moment later, the crate jumped as if it had been shoved. Then it jumped again, then again. Finally, the crate tipped over and the top fell off, revealing an overturned Tank. The robot writhed about like a turtle on its back, eventually managing to flip over. It rolled forward and out of the jeep, tumbling onto the ground. It quickly righted itself again and drove toward the temple. Maneuvering over the rocky surface, it cleared the entrance and started racing down the hallway. A flashlight illuminated its path, and its side-mounted pistols were pointed forward like horns on a bull.
From his hiding place behind the Panhandle team, Snake grinned. In a few seconds, the Venezuelans would be getting a big surprise.

The firefight continued. In the dark temple, it was hard to draw a bead on anything, and both sides were using the well designed bulwarks of the temple as cover. The Venezuelans, if they were indeed that, had been smart enough to turn off their flashlights. The noise was deafening, especially the full auto bursts from Ike and two of the Venezuelans who were also packing AK lookalikes. It was a stalemate, but Abe knew in the back of his head that the Venezuelans had brought more ammo. He turned to Wilkes and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Get your people farther back into the temple, we'll hold these guys off as long as we can. If you hear anyone, hide and stay the hell down! Now go!"
He sent them off with a shooing motion, and Wilkes beckoned to the rest of his people to follow. Meanwhile, Abe motioned to Ike.
"How are you on ammo?"
Ike shook his head. Rifles cracked from the other side of the room, and Ike fired a burst in return.
"I've only got 2 magazines left. We gotta move soon, or be overrun!"
Abe fired his shotgun at a pillar where a Venezuelan armed with a semi-auto rifle was hiding. He only had 12 shots left.
"Alright, get those grenades ready. When I say go, you throw a couple and run like hell thataway! We'll try to meet up the research team!"

"Yeah" Drake agreed. "Maybe if we just lever this here and..."
***************************************************
PATRIOT turned towards the noise and activated his thermal imaging. Seeing two people behind a rock he opened fire. ****************************************************
"Look out."
Drake pushed Misaki against the wall as a blast from PATRIOTs visor weapon knocked the rock loose from the entry way.
"Hey Gort, was wondering when you'd show up again."
He charged at his larger opponent, before being grabbed and thrown into the gold. PATRIOT scanned it, looking to watch the last breaths of his opponent, though...
"It's.....WATER?"
Drake surfaced.
"Well thank God for that eh?" He swam to the edge, climbed out and drew his sword.
"Misaki, would you mind getting these two out of here? I got some unfinished business, which none of you saw by the way."

Con relaxed once PATRIOT's attention was off of him. When he figured no one was watching, he took out a small plastic vial and filled it with the gold-tinged water from the lake.
"Sheesh. I work in intelligence, and the guy tells me I didn't see anything. How am I supposed to make a damn living?"
---
Tank's headlight gave it away before it was within firing range. The Venezuelan soldiers saw it coming, but weren't sure what to make of it. It opened fire on them, killing one and wounding another. The leader shouted orders as the remaining men started firing at the robot. A few shots hit, piercing its metal hide, but didn't strike anything vital. Snake directed Tank to back up and go around a corner.
As three of the men chased after it, Snake turned off the light, leaving them in the dark. Tank, however, could still see with its infrared camera view. As the men stumbled in the dark, Tank picked them off, emptying the rest of the clip in its right gun. The left still had about ten shots remaining, Snake guessed. Things were starting to turn in his favor again. He just hoped he wouldn't have to explain the controls to his fellow scientists.

Lucien
Lucien sat in a corner, taking cover as bullets destroyed the marble pillar he was hiding behind bit by bit. "C'est chrisse, maudit, calisse de tabernac!" He screamed in French. Like most French Canadians, he cursed by reviling the symbols of the church. Ike, in the middle of reloading, stopped and looked at him strangely, he probably was about to make a french joke. The look in Lucien's eyes told him not too.
He shrugged, then raised his weapon up and blind fired at the Venezuelans. The drug runners, revolutionary's, whoever they were, emptied all of their clips at the pillar Lucien was hiding behind, shredding pieces of the marble and creating a storm of shrapnel.Lucien took a shard of marble to the cheeck, sending a new line of blood down his face. For a few seconds there was a lull in the fighting, and a mechanical whir could be heard.
Lucien peeked out above his cover to see a small hexagonal shape on the ground. This would normally be very surprising in a thousand year old temple, but was made even more surprising when it shot two of the Venezuelans. They opened up on it, missing most of their shots.The bullets created sparks as they bounced off the ground, and the robot backed up around a corner, it's flashlights still on.
Lucien watched as the Venezuelans charged around the corner before the lights turned off and they were shredded by bullets.
David
David, having rappelled most of the way down the shaft, watched silently as the operative addressed the new man as "Con" as they shared they discovery that the "Lake of gold" was a hoax, the robot from earlier stomped in and threatened them in a villainous manner. David saw the thing turn and fire up another shaft, adjacent to his. The two people inside jumped down, before the man was thrown into the water/gold. He surfaced and drew... a sword. "What the hell? A freakin ninja?" David thought as the parties faced off.
"Well, remember what uncle Jerry always said.Don't ever make a ninja angry." David muttered as he finished rappelling down into the shadows with one jump, then raised his XM8 and targeted the robot

Several small ports opened up on PATRIOT, leaking a flammable liquid across his body, when he was done a spark from his visor weapon ignited him, turning him into a walking inferno.
"Brave words human. But you are outmatched."
"Doesn't usually stop me."
Drake attacked, not even denting the machine with his blade and spending most of his time dodging.
"I will outlast you, only human after all."
Drake focused on evasion, trying to focus through the heat for something to use against him.
************************************************** one week earlier
Drake and the Master stood on the tracks, the smoke from the train could already be seen in the distance. Drake aimed his bow.
"This is a joke right? You've got a rocket launcher on you and this is all a joke."
"Focus, desperation will only cloud your mind."
He took a deep breath, Drake followed suit, the train was in sight now. Time for one arrow, and they'd still be splattered over the canyon walls.
"The canyon!"
Drake aimed upwards and fired, triggering a rockslide ahead of the train. Unable to stop in time it impacted and derailed, the weapons it was transporting detonated. Drake slung the bow over his shoulder.
"What did you learn?"
"Not to strike directly against a stronger opponent. To focus on finding a precise point to defeat him?"
"Meh." The master waved his hand. "All gaijin fools get a little lucky." He walked off leaving a dumbfounded Drake to follow. ****************************************************
Drake pulled his last arrow, explosive tipped, his bow was damaged from the fall earlier.
"Everybody get out. It's going to get a little cramped in here."
He threw the arrow towards the ceiling, it exploded on impact and started the cavern rumbling, a series of stalacites started dropping along with larger rocks.
PATRIOT swung his fists to knock aside the rubble pilling around him, it was a losing battle though and he was quickly buried. The cave in wasn't stopping though.

"Great, I try to help and end up having rocks fall on my head." David thought as he dropped his backpack and took out a stunmine. He set it on the rock wall, then tapped a few buttons, setting it to detonate whenever someone came near the shaft. He then shouldered his backpack, reslung his rifle, and tied to the rappel rope again.
He started climbing up the rope, hand over hand.

Con made his way around the edge of the lake, joining Helljumper and Misaki. He had to watch his step, as the rumbling around them didn't show any signs of stopping. Suddenly, he thought of how his last contact with Snake had ended abruptly. He hit the button on his earpiece.
"Snake, you there? Talk to me, buddy." There was some crackling static, and what could have been gunshots, but nothing that sounded like his partner. "Snake!"
Finally, he got a response. "Con?" *static* "...a little busy at the moment. Where ar-" *static* "...the temple, under attack. Repeat, I'm inside the temple. We've-"
"Snake, listen. Get out now. We've got a massive collapse starting down here in the caverns. At this rate, it'll take the whole temple down with it. I repeat, get out of there now."
"Collapse? Jesus fu-" *static* "...Roger. Meet you outside; east wall."
"East wall. Got it. Over and out." Con ended the call, then turned to the others. "What's the fastest way out of here?"

David climbed like a man possessed. He strained to use every ounce of strength the suit had as pieces of rock fell around him. He tried to avoid the bigger ones, but he could see that some were hitting him from the sparks that rose from his chest piece.
" I go back down and contend with a robot, ninja, gundam, and some crazy soldier, or I keep climbing until a big rock comes down and finally crushes me. I'll take my chances with the wierdos." David thought as he saw what appeared to be a rock the size of a TV fall a few feet to his left. He shrugged, then started jumping down.

Drake gave the lake a quick check over, seems it let out into a small river down another passage.
"This way people."
He called everyone over and grabbed the Black Light soldier first.
"It's just like a waterslide, keep your arms and legs in and you should be fine."
He threw the soldier down the tunnel and grabbed Con next.
"You up for this or you worried about your gear getting wet?"

David watched as the small group was about to leave the temple. He had climbed back down and hidden in the shadows, waiting for the group to leave. The suit wasn't waterproof, real life people couldn't make perfect exoskeletons. Because of this, David had stripped off almost all of the suit's parts, except for the helmet, which he fiddled with now.
"Come on dammit!" He thought, using a small stone to try to crack the fiberglass latch that held the camera secure. He finally managed to get it open and pulled the camera out. David pocketed it in one of the small compartments usually left empty on his black bodysuit. The suit was kevlar, just like the kind motorcycle riders used. David opened his backpack and slipped a fragmentation mine, his only one, underneath the helmet as he laid it on the floor next to the rest of his armor.
If that black ops guy... wait, where was he? David looked around the corner of the hallway he was in to see the group wading across the pool of gold/water. The ninja threw the soldier into a hole, then motioned for "Kahn," or was it Con? To follow. "A stream!?" David thought, realizing the water had to be coming and going to be moving in the chamber.
David ducked back and put his backpack on backwards, it was probably an aqueduct. He picked up his rifle, put his pistol in another pocket of the bodysuit, and started to cautiously walk towards the group, ready for if they tried something stupid. He wanted to get out of there as much as anyone!

OOC: Sorry, was somewhere else yesterday.
Abe was about to give the order to run when two of the Venezuelans dropped dead from somebody else's bullets. At first he thought it was friendly fire, but then even more gunfire erupted behind them and the remaining poachers fell to the ground, wounded or dead.
"It must be Chaz or Cabrennez!" Ike shouted, but Abe knew better. That didn't sound like any of the heat they were packing, and he hadn't seen anyone else enter the temple. He peeked up over his cover and saw a small, hexagonal shape moving along the floor. There were no people except him Ike, and...
"What the shit is that?" Ike again. He was aiming at it with his AK, a grenade close at hand.
"Don't make any sudden movements..." Abe warned, but Ike already had. He was popping the pin out of the grenade. "No, dammit, don't!" Too late. The small sphere flew through the air, right at the... tank thing.

Post by Ty on Aug 27, 2008 2:06:12 GMT
"You kidding?" Con replied to Drake. "I'm a bit more worried about my skull getting crushed by falling rocks. Don't worry; I got this." He gave Drake a grateful salute and stepped up to the tunnel.
"See you on the other side," he said, and jumped in feet-first.
---
Up above, Snake had been busy with Con's sudden urgent call. He didn't see the grenade until it was too late. Tank rolled back around the corner, right into its path. A bright blast lit up the passage for a moment, sending dust and debris in all directions. The explosion grounded the rest of the Venezuelan team, though most of them survived the blast with only moderate injurys. Tank, on the other hand, was blasted into oblivion. One of the Venezuelans screamed in surprise as its still-burning remains rolled to a stop right next to him.
"Woah! Shit! What are you doing, man?! You just-" Snake stopped himself. He realized too late he wasn't sure how to justify such an outburst without revealing the robot was his. Luckily, he wouldn't have to. Moments later, the passage started shaking, and the sound of falling rocks echoed through the halls.
"Dammit, he wasn't kidding." Snake stood up. "Everyone, listen! We need to get out of here. That grenade must have weakened the supporting walls of the temple. Couple that with whatever is going on in the caverns below, and we're looking at a full-scale collapse! We'll be crushed if we don't hurry!"

OOC: Jumper is just enjoying the ride*
IC:
Like a child, I scream in joy, a sick and twisted joy.
"YEEEEEEEHaw!!!!"
I go through a hole in the side of a water fall and fall down a couple stories into the pool of water below.
"That was f*cking awesome......"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jackal ~~~~~
I had lost the two when they went down the cavern, not wanting to get stuck down there with them.
But that seems to have been a mistake, I soon ran into some hired goons, mercs. After a firefight and a explosive even King would be proud of the caverns began to shake, my unknowing another, smaller explosion had gone off somewhere above me.
My blast had blown away quite a few supports and cavern walls, like I said, even King, Nitrocore, would be proud of it.
I manage to dodge some falling rocks, but fall through a pit that had just opened up under me.
I fall for a good couple seconds before slamming into a liquid below, "This isn't gold" I mutter, very matter of fact. I notice the others, including HellJumper head down a shaft, sliding down it. I begin swimming and heading that way, shouting to Drake, ignoring the shoot on sight order on me.
"Hey Drake Wait up!"

David
David stepped back into the shadows as another person jumped from the ceiling.
"This just gets better and better." David said, as Con jumped down the tunnel, the the newcomer approached the team of misfits.
"Well... I'll just wait a bit then..." David thought, pressing his back against the wall and waiting to see how this would unfold.

"Godammit Ike, what the hell? I said I would give you a sign!" Abe speaking.
"Hey, I got 'em didn't I?"
"Yeah, well we gotta find another way out now. The entrance is damn near falling apart!."
Abe turned to the scientists who remained instead of fleeing back into the temple.
"Alright, we gotta haul ass before this place collapses or more of those poachers show up. We'll meet up with Wilkes team further on."
Abe and Ike double-timed it into the ruins, weapons slung over their shoulders.

Lucien...
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Lucien screamed, his french side taking over, running and panicking. He hauled a$$ through the tunnels blindly, just trying to get away from the temple before it collapsed around his head. He ran and ran, then turned a corner. He didn't have time to see the drop, so Lucien didn't know there was a gaping whole in the floor.
He fell and screamed even more, before hitting the ground and instinctively rolling to lessen the shock. Lucien ended up flat on his face, and while looking straight ahead he saw.... a shimmering gold reflection on the wall of a tunnel a few paces ahead. He stood up and ran to it, happily looking down. There was a rope clipped to the top of the tunnel, trailing into the abyss. The only problem was Lucien couldn't climb a rope, so he couldn't very well climb back up. So he jumped into the shaft, desperate to find a way to escape. He went in feet first.
"Tabernac!" He screamed as he slid down the embankment. He tried to use his hands to control his fall, but couldn't. He ended up hitting a rock at the end, his feet absorbing the shock, but his chest and head flying forward because of the momentum. He rolled on the ground and came to a stop on his back this time, looking towards the ceiling.
"C'est Chrisse..." Lucien said, taking in what he was laying just in front of.

The lake chamber started caving in faster due to explosions on the surface.
"Dammit, out of time. Misaki, move!"
Drake grabbed her by the wrist and pushed her into the tunnel.
"Tuck and slide!"
He followed right after, just as another portion of the ceiling blocked the tunnel. No turning back now.
"I see light at the end, watch your landings!"

OOC: Nobody liked him much anyway. IC: Con slid out of the tunnel and landed with a clumsy splash in the water about a half-dozen feet from Helljumper. He quickly resurfaced, coughing from the mouthful of water he accidentally swallowed on the way down. "Shit." He coughed again. "I always hated water parks." Under the water, he reached into a pouch on his belt to check on the sample from the lake. It seemed alright; the cap was still securely on. Well, at least I'm still getting paid, he thought. --- Snake wasn't sure who to go with. He just wanted out in a hurry. He decided to stick with Wilkes and his group for now, trying to blend in with the other scientists. He didn't want the question of who he was and why he was there coming up once they got out. If we get out, he corrected himself. --- The unexpected tremors had thrown Dragonfly off his perch on the ceiling. It tried to right itself in midair, but failed and tumbled down the slope into the lake chamber. It stopped just short of the body of water. Apparently undamaged, it stood up and took a quick survey of the area. After a few moments of distraction from falling rocks, it noticed Jackal and decided to investigate. It flew over to him and hovered around in the air a few feet away.

OOC: You can't stop the rock David stared at the closed tunnel, then slowly backed towards the armor. "Ok, I can do this. Just throw it correctly and we'll all get out of here." David thought, putting back on the right armored glove he had laid on the ground. He waved it over the helmet, deactivating the mine that laid beneath. David then lifted to helmet, took out the mine, and checked it over for any problems. "Good." David thought, seeing it was still functional. He activated it with a few button presses, then set it to detonate on contact. He yelled a warning to the other person, before throwing the mine like a football at the blocked entrance to the tunnel. The mine contacted the rock and exploded in a brillant flash of light and sparks. It had detonated just as it touched the rocks blocking the exit, blowing a man sized whole in the rock. David grinned, then took off his glove. He waved to the other agent as he waded to the opening, and jumped through.
