Shae watched as the fox swung over the pit with relative ease. He was unimpressed to say the least. He huffed, smirked and merely flapped his wings, slowly and simply hovering over the gaping trap. He landed, smoothly on the other side.
"You'll have to do better than that to impress me.. mongrel." said Shae.
Back in the central hub room, Eggman turned to Lucian.
"Yes, I did, I've received a report about a renegade force vaporizing a squad of my SwatBots out in Mopotopolis, just across the gulf to the North." said Eggman. "I want you to investigate.. and destroy whoever had the nerve to make such a move against me... oh, and take this with you."
The Eggman tossed Lucian a strange round device. It was black, and had a solitary button on it.
"It's something I cooked up ages ago for use in the various Magma zones here on Mobius, it's been altered of of course, but essentially it'll help you from becoming cinders out in the sun." said the Doctor. "The shuttle is waiting for you in hangar Egg13.."

Lucian took the small object and clicked the button, if it was a bomb he might as well take Eggman with him if it was a trap. The machine hummed for a moment and a sphere of translucent yellow light encompassed the vampire then faded from view. He tested his essence against the field, putting just a little bit out of it. The comparison felt like being in the deepest cave on the inside but the outside was just plain normal. It seemed short excursions kept with in the protective field would allow the creature of the night to stalk about during the day, provided he didn't damage the device or wear it's batteries down.
"Recon work: take no prisionser, demo any opposing forces, and collect rival intel, got it. Departing now. . ."
The vampire gave a short salute and made for the hanger, the unmanned robotic travel shuttler blasted off with haste for Mobotropolis. As the area came close, the very borders of the zone passing in sight, Lucian jetisoned from the shuttle, allowing it's prerecorded mission parameters to land it where it was supposed to. Still falling, he guessed correctly about he possibly fate as the shuttle was blown to smitheriens by some hidden artillery. Touching down in some protective brush, the fall was nothing to the undead, but he felt weaker out in the light.
Exposed and drained by the very essence of the sun, but remained untouched by it's deadly rays, Lucian stalked through the underbrush, looking for those that would dare assail him. Granted, he was a big fan of the shoot first ask their corpses later plan of action but not when it was directed at him. But light or day Lucian was still a preditor, a very old and very crafty one at that. Skulking through the low cover he sought out his prey.

Stealth snorted."Who said I wanted to impress you I just want to get this job over with."he grunted beofre running ahead.
Meanwhile A hydra stomped past Lucians hiding spot. A gore soaked claw was the emblem painted on it. Its scanners picked up a faint mystic signature and it brought its opticla senors to bear on the bushes. But the reading were low and the bushes still so it just tromped on by. Sounds of other such robots sounded throught the forrest. Only animals seemd to be the only organic beigns out here or where there. sudnly the robots calm clicked on and the vampires sensitive ears could opick up the transmisioon."All Hydra units report back to the central command post. Its time to stage our next tstrike on my former employers supply base. We must complete our mission. The demon lord wants Eggman whittled down to nothing.

Luminous knew full and well his position. He had been it many times before in his travels on Mobius due to the rumors about him. Still, he was astounded to feel the great presence before him, knowing that Syth was either very impatient, or very pissed. Speaking up, he kept a neutral face. "We are looking for the one named Spade....You may not understand me, but him...well, you can tell why we are here now..."

(OOC: I've got no idea what your base is like man so I'm winging it here.)
Oh hoh hoh! Fortune had truely smiled on Lucian this day! His opponet was LEGION of all people. He remembered less than fondly his home being razed to the underground by his missles in his home dimension. He'd sworn revenge on Bloodclaw and his kin, if he had any in this realm, and would take this up coming assignment with relish. But this also broached caution in the undead, Simon was exceptional at detecting undead and mystic signatures. He had made a living from the dead if memory served correctly, and while there was no undead on this realm to his knowledge. It did mean that chances were he was facing a well prepared and very dangerous opponet.
JUST the way Lucian liked things.
Keeping a fair distance from the Hyrdra units, while dangerous in large groups, they were no issue singly to the vampire. He followed the creatures to the bombed out ruins that composed LEgion's hidden HQ. He had done well in remaining hidden from Eggman for so long in spite of his relatively close location to Robotropolis. But then again, in addition to being a brilliant tactician of armies he knew a few things about assassination and stealth to boot.
This became apparent when entering the zone Lucian had to work especially hard not to trip off any of the magic sensors ringing the area. The sunlight field helped a bit, but on running on so little undead power he was dangerously close to being in a very bad position strength wise. Ducking into currently unmanned weapons silo, Syth looked on to see Legion barking orders to his troops as they readied for battle. It seemed even being interdimensional copies would not soothe the gruff demeanor of a Bloodclaw.

As Thunder continued on, his visor sensed two lifeforms near some ruins.
"Heh, they're close." Thunder said. "I wonder who they are, and what they're doing here?"
Thunder had always been fond of helping those on the good side, these days, he wasn't really sure what purpose either side was serving.

She was a mobian punching bag, much to the amusement of her attackers - though she could tell by the increasing intensity of the punches that then main attacker, a large lumbering ox of a mobian was getting angry at her lack of noise. "Come on little kitty... yowl for us" he snickered and the others who held her arms back snickered along with him.
CC spat some of her own blood upon the ground and winced with the pain of the obvious broken ribs that she was now sporting, but never did she take her green eyes, now aglow, off of her assailant. This only seems to infuriate him more, and he winds up for a punch, this time to her pretty face. His large paw whistles towards her quickly but stops just short of her nose - using the other two for leverage she had managed to lift her legs straight up and stop the blow with her feet, her emerald eyes delving deep into the shocked brown eyes in front of her. With a strong kick she pushes him backwards and uses the upward momentum to almost bend in half, kicking her two captors in their already ugly mugs. They let go of her in suprise and she drops down to the ground, scrambling off to the side so that she has all three in front of her.
"You are going to regret that you little whore..." Said the large one, who had regained his balance and came steady towards her, the other two following suit with very unhappy looks upon their faces.
She spits some more blood upon the ground, taking her eyes off of the main goon only to keep track of the other two as well. She speaks, her voice in tinged with pain and anger, "Bring it..."

Kuri didn't even have the time to scream, Psychosis had moved far to fast for her to even react to being pulled off the rooftop and teleported safely to the ground. Breaths coming out in shaky gasps, the dhole stood up and followed Psychosis through the alleys and throngs of people, muttering 'sorry' and ' 'cuse me' in her chase.
"Oi," she yelled, running so she was a few paces behind the hedgehog, "How can you tell the cat's in trouble? Or better yet, how's teh cat's a girl?"

ooC: sorry man was in a hurry with that post.
Legion walked up and tapped a portion of his holographic map as he glanced back at the holoscreen,informing his feild commander of his other attack on eggmans supply base."Felis this secotr is a blind spot in the bases security network. Eggman belives that a mobian would be foolish to climb up the sheer rock cliff to assualt this side. We will prove him otherwise. Take a small special foces group and scale the cliffside,infiltrate the base and sabotage the base defnese matrix, then from the west and east hit him with hydra and centurion forces. It will be up to you from there so dont fail me commander."He said icly as he flipped off the comm unit and walked over to the satcom read out of his general area. He started to chuckle ounder his breath."heh heh heh. I didnt know working for syntaru would be so easy or that eggman would make such a good target but I wonder, why those a fmailier anger a cold fury rise though me when I wonder who eggmans new partner is... Bah Ill find out soon enough."he muttered to himself.
meanwhile a hydra had detected a weak foreign energy signature and was heading over to investigate. Slowly it aproached lucian its movemnts slow as it gave off sensor sweeps every few minutes.

The Templar teleported above the assailants attacking the feline. From there, he used his telekenesis to slam them, one by one, into the brick walls of the alley. Landing on the ground, he stood, tall and intimidating, his eyes aglow with a pure ice blue radiance.
"You have exactly three seconds to leave this place, cretins, or you will be nothing more than dust."
Psy was a frightening sight, glowing in a raging energy. The thugs, quickly realising what they were up against ran like the wind away from the alley. Psy cooled his energy and tended to the feline, just as the young Dhole arrived.
"To answer your questions, I've told you once before, I'm a Templar, I can read people's thoughts, and their futures, I have psionic abilities."
He turned his attention back to the feline, looking upon her he had a feeling of nostalgia. As if somewhere, in this life or another, the two were closely fond of one another. But this was not the time, nor the place.
"Are you alright?"
Over in Downunda, Spade was walking through a forest path, when he'd heard the village trumpets.
"Hmm? The trumpets? They must be calling back the Village guard."
Spade took his time in walking back to the village. When he arrived, he saw the Chief's gathered in the centeryard, with a rather strange looking Echidna, and an even stranger looking hedgehog.
"Who are you two?"

Shae stopped in his tracks, looked around a moment, and then turned to the Fox.
"He's just up ahead.. so you wait here and keep your mouth shut, we're here to recruit this warrior, not fill his head with your blind ignorance." said Shae.
The bat flew into the air, landing by a riverbed of Lava, on the other side of which, was their assigned target.
"Thunder the Hedgehog, I presume.." said Shae.

CC stood up slowly, wincing at the pain and using the back of her paw to wipe off the blood still covering the fur around her chin. She looks with a bit of suprise at the hedgehog and Dhole who had just popped in and chased the goons away. The Dhole looks confused and the cat notes this with interest before looking to the hedgehog, the main reason for the quick exit made by the three beating upon her. There was something that struck her, deep inside but she kept her face clear and burst out into a huge grin - the light in her eyes subsiding slightly though they still looked on gaurd and she did not straighten fully up, as if ready to take off at any second.
"I'm fine, thanks... I've had worse beatings than this before and I always seem to bounce back. Thanks for your help, both of you... um" she cocks her head to the side and seems to be trying to find what to say next, as if the shock of what had just happened fully went through her fast-working brain. She shakes it off and finishes her sentence in a cheerful, albeit pain-filled voice, "hows about I treat you two to a coffee or something on account of interrupting that little tiff there? That way we can introduce ourselves proper -unless of course this is the part where you say 'all in a days work citizen!' and bound off for other adventures. In which cause, don't let me keep you!" She chuckles quietly, her eyes full of mirth even though they still keep their wary edge.

She loved being underwater and the lemur jaunted swiftly through the zone making as much of a beeline as possible for the temple that she can now see just ahead. Slowing down as the area becomes a bit more tricky she takes a chance to look around- getting a good bearing of the area while also looking for any possible intruders. Not seeing or sensing anyone but herself and Shade she continues on, unaware of the click as she presses her foot down upon a seemingly loose cobble.
The lemur does not notice anything out of the ordinary until a faint whirr reaches her ears and she stops in mid step, realizes quickly that Shade has melted into the shadows at the side. She drops to the ground just in time for a large block of spikes to drop from the ceiling on some sort of mechanized system and raise back up again. If she had still been standing she would certainly have been skewerred and she rolls towards the well, breathing heavily and realizing with a bit of frustration that part of her clothing had been torn. She had not been quick enough, "You could have warned me..."
The shade melts out of the shadows with what Tala could swear was a smirk upon its face and shrugs, continuing along the corridor with the lemur following behind, watching her footing more carefully now.

Kuri, though winded and confused, gave a small chuckle at the cat's joke. Rubbing the back of her brown, almost black, coloured hair out of habit, the dhole mulled over how to explain the situation of Aurora to CC. With nothing coming to mind, Kuri sent a small pleaing look to Psychosis. "Uhm, well, maybe we should take talk over some coffee, ne?"
