Gifted: This means War

[Gifted]

"Okay, I get it." Xander nodded. "I want to go scout the area and see if they've split off or not. Eloise, could you acompany me?"
Eloise nodded. Alex looked sour. Emric looked defiant. He also looked a little worried.
Eloise grasped Xanders hand, and the two dissappeared.

((So have they split off??))

[Raven]

((Yeah the main force is where Crow and Luke are. The last group to separate had Sam and Cody in it))

"So," Ryan said to Joan. "Would you be okay with me... Being you?" He would fill her in on the details after he got that out of the way... He'd have to clear the whole 'biting her' thing, too.

[Gifted]

"Why would I care?" Joan wondered. Maybe it was the fact she'd spent so much time around Noah, but this didn't really phase her at all.

[Raven]

Ryan twitched slightly. "Because I have a contract that might hurt," he said.

[Gifted]

Joan laughed. "If theres one good thing I gained from my time in the government, it's that theres very little that actually causes pain for me. Why? Whats your contract?"

When Eloise appeared behind a bunch m,ore agents, Xander was extremley annoyed. This could throw a wrench into the plan. "Eloise, appear again a couple houses away from town. And gimme a sec,"
Before they left, Xander, unnoticed, slipped in and stole something.
He stole a roll of scotch tape.

[Raven]

Ryan smiled. "I have to bite you... Hard enough to draw blood," he replied.

[Gifted]

Joan thought about this for a second. "Has it ever occured to you you may not need to bite the person, as long as you injest their blood? It doesn't sound like neccessarily a big difference, but trust me, it's a big difference to some people," She grinned at the thought of what Nicole would say if Ryan had asked to bite HER. she grabbed a sharp-looking piece of wood from the ground.
"I mean if a bite is neccessary a bite is neccessary but honestly I'd rather just stab myself in the hand or something,"


Xander, while Eloise waited, pulled out his phone. He'd sworn to never dial this number again, but if he was gonna do this, he may as well do it the full way.
"Hey Sharie, it's Hangman,"
"Xander!" She yelped, shocked. "Adrian! Olive! get over here, Xanders on the phone!"
"Where are you?"
"Still in the forest. Listen Xander, about ten minutes away from us, the agents have set up a trap. We don't know when they'll set it up,"
"Yeah i know, I'm there."
"YOU FELL FOR IT?"
"Shut up. Just get your asses over here ASAP or you're gonna miss one kick ass fight. Better yet, I'll send Eloise to get you,"
"Eloise?" Sharie sounded confused.
"Yeah, Executioner and gang are here, but when I was elected leader all Ex could do was sit back and scowl,"
Sharie laughed. "Okay, send her over,"
A minute later Eloise was back with his team.
Just looking at Sharie again erased any regret he'd harboured for going back to his old self. Her poofy, dyed black hair was starting to get mouse brown roots theat resembled Eloise's hair. Her blue eyes sparkled, and her white short with the tiny little flowers all over it was just as ugly as it'd ever been. She gave a rather akward hug to Eloise before turning to him and gasping.
Adrian wore the same easy grin that made him resemble Emric. however this was where resemblance stopped, for the two were not related. He seemed somehow even frecklier than when Xander had seen him last. His light red hair was everywhere, looking like it hadn't seen a comb for weeks.
Olive's skin seemed really tan, which was saying something since she was spanish, so her skin was naturally tan. There were tree bits stuck in her brown ponytail. Her brown eyes were wide and her mouth was curved into a disbelieving half-smile.
"Your mask looks like crap," Olive and Sharie said at the same time. Xander had used the tape he stole to tape his mask back together and was wearing it. He'd put the tape on the inside of the mask, but the vertical line across the mask was still obviously there.
"Hey I had about gfive minutes to fix it, sue me," he said, before turnine to Alex's girl. "Let's go, Eloise,"
They reappeared in town square and he lifted his mask onto the top of head instead of over his face so the people would recognise him. "Okay so it turns out they've already split up so we're going to have to keep our eyes on the side as well when we attack, that's where they'll come from. The fire wil also have to be bigger than I expected, but I'll worry about that part. Oh and," he pointed to each of his group members in turn. "Adrian, Sharie, and Olive," Adrian gave a joking wave and Sharie rolled her eyes and smiled.
"The fact they've split already means they're getting reaady to attack, so we'll need to move now. Second wave, find a building to hide in, but make sure you can get out by means other than the conventional way, it never hurts to have an escape route," He turnedto his three friends. "Sharie, your power is part of second group. Out. Adrian, You'll be with first wave. Also your deadly Ivy may be of use when we start,"Adrians power was poison. Anything related to poison, he could control and changeall of it. So what he'd done was taken poison Ivy, which was simply annoying, and added a different poison to it to create deadly Ivy. Contrary to it's name, it wasn't deadly, it just made you writhe in pain for an hour or two. Adrian was quite fond of making low walls of it so the enemy had to pass through it and subject themselves to his poison.
Sharie nodded and started heading for a taller building with a roof she could climb onto and jump of of if she needed to.

[Raven]

Ryan shrugged. "It may be like that. Honestly, I've always been in a bit of a hurry with no weapons I can easily make someone bleed with. Plus, I have sharp teeth..."

Tabitha nodded. "I need to go get my dolls," she said, heading back to her house.

If they're surrounding us, is the plan to make them find one entry point? Raven asked.

Adrian nodded. "What about third wave?" he asked.

[Gifted]

Xander nodded at raven. "I'll start the fire of to the side and herd them all until they're in front of us," then he turned to Adrian. "The second wave needs to be pretty much invisible so thats why they leave before we do. We'll all be together. Alright, let's go! First wave in front!" Xander said. Adrian ran up eside him, as did Alex and Emric.

But CR-S01 didn't go. A quiet voice, too low for anyone else to hear (Except maybe Tabitha because she's next to him is she not?) coming from under his coat. "I hid a Walkie-Talkie in with your weapoons. Do NOT draw attention to yourself. It should be between the throwing knife and rifle. Push the button on it when you speak and speak low," It was Agent Carlson.
CR-S01 pushed the button on the walkie talkie. "What is it?"
"This is where you earn your twenty years off. What are they planning?"
He hadn't decided yet! He didn't know what was the right thing to do!
He thought about his friends at Resurgam. If they were here, what would they tell him?
Well, Maria was easy enough. He could almost here her saying "Go for it kid! Kick their lying government asses! They tottaly used you! Hank would also tell him to go for it.
But at the same time he could hear Tomoe saying to him, in her serious way, Abandoning ones duty is not the path of honour. He'd accepted the duty of delivering these kids to their deaths, Tomoe would expect him to carry it out. Gabe also, would tell him to stick with the government.
As for Naomi, who knew with Naomi? She was so hard to read. She'd probably say something clever and rational, but who knew what. Which left him in the same position he was in before.
"Why are we hunting these people?" he asked.
"None of your buissness!"
"Agent Carlson, none of these people know themselves. I want to know why I should treat ending lives the same way as saving them!"
There was a sigh on the other end of the line. "They're infected,"
"What?"
"It's some sort of ilness. The only symptoms are these odd indications of supernatural powers and interference with the brain. The subject will absolutley refuse to believe they are sick and have been rebelling against treatment."
"What's the outcome of this disease?"
"The supernatural power uses up a massive amout of the body's energy. As the disease increases in stregnth, so will their power. Eventually, the disease will enter their internal organs and the rest of their body will not absorb any energy. Eventually, they will die. But the disease spreads through skin-to skin contact. anyone they touch will be infected with the disease. There is no cure and they refuse testing to find one. The only hope for humanity is to kill of the carriers before they infect the rest of the world,"
This horrified CR-S01. It was like Rosalia all over again, only a thousand times worse. "Alright. But were about to attack, so it'll look odd if I keep talking. I'm part of the first assault," he took his finger off the button and ran up to the front. "Making sure my guns wern't clogged," he explained for his absence.
Xander nodded. "Good. Don't want them backfiring, that'd mess everything up."

Joan drove the piece of wood into her palm, not even flinching. when she was bleeding quite a bit, she pulled it out and put a hankercheif over it. After a minuite, when the hankercheif was soaked with blood, she handed it to Ryan. "Let's go, we'll be late," she said,. running towards a house.

[Raven]

(("Tabitha nodded. "I need to go get my dolls," she said, heading back to her house." she's not next to him anymore!))
Tabitha's real reason for heading back to the place she'd been staying was to get the DNA she'd collected from the gifteds. She had absolutely no intention of corrupting Crow and Luke's actions, as she knew they could work better without her interference. Besides, by the time they figured out their mistake in trusting her, it would be too late. Her only regret was that all the new additions to the town would be free of her. Including their leader. That would be a problem.

Ryan took the handkerchief, following Joan and only licking at the cloth and the blood that it was covered in for a while. After that, he began sucking on the fabric. He clearly felt no disgust towards his contract. In fact, it appeared he enjoyed the taste of blood. After a moment his shape became indefinite. It wavered for a bit, then there were two Joans. One still licking a blood soaked handkerchief.

Adrian nodded, staying at the back of the group.

[Gifted]

"Go find a building to hide in," was all the real Joan said, entering the one she'd chosen and going up to a window.

"So adrian. Old fashioned way or fire tornado?" He grinned at his old friend.
"Oh come on, do you even need me to awnser that?" Adrian laughed.

"Sargent crow! Come in Sargent Crow!" Agent Carlson spoke in an urgent voice.

[Raven]

Crow grabbed the walkie-talkie that hung at his waist and spoke into it. "Sergent Crow speaking. What is it, Agent?" he asked.

Adrian's ears perked up at that. There was someone else with his name there?

Ryan kept walking, still licking the blood up, until he found a fairly tall building where he could see the gifteds and where they were going. He went to a fourth floor balcony, sat down, and watched as they continued walking. His face, which looked like Joan's, was covered in blood, as were his hands.

[Gifted]

"I just got word from thew kid I sent in there. He's the kid behind the bio-terrorist attack a couple years ago with the 250 year sentance, the surgeon? Well he says the plans been leaked and the gifteds are attacking. NOW!" Agent Carlson barked.

"Okay Adrian, grow the ivy,"
Adrian nodded and quickly grew ivy at the tree line, all the way around where the agents were. now they'd step through the painful ivy no matter where they came out. "Watch it no Hangman. I didn't make those so you could cook them," he laughed.
He nodded. The'd know he was here once the tornado had been pulled. It was his signature move. He turned so he faced the side where the split group would be coming from. Then he drew his arm into his chest and threw it out, releasing a huge fire tornado, which ripped through the forest, working it's way towards where he wanted the agents to come out at a pace only as fast as the average human jog. Couldn't have it kiling anyone.

[Raven]

"We guessed they knew we were here. Our other spy just showed up with a group of them, I can't tell if she's still on our side or not... Guess we'll find out," Crow told Carlson.

Sam's eyes widened from the front of her group. "God, that's Hangman," she muttered. "Everyone, move! We're taking a detour!" She turned the unit away from the tornado, still angling towards the town. She wished they had a fire bender with them to try to stop the tornado...
"I never thought I'd want Lilly here," Cody said in her ear.
Sam sighed. "I was just thinking the same thing."

Raven watched as they worked. She didn't know how much help she'd be; she couldn't use a gun.

[Gifted]

((btw Xander put his mask on b4 the fight. thought you ought to know))
Xander could only assume they were going to plan. "Raven, are they heading in the direction we want them too?" he hollered over the vicious sound of the flames steadily getting closer.
