*Looks at Billy*

Let me walk infront. My armour can take one or two arrows if there are more.

*Walks behind Black Hawk*

*snorts*

A few arrows? That's all they got? This'll be even better than a guardian named Gary.

Black Hawk: Arrows strong enough to pierce solid adamantite.*Points at jeep* That's a armored vehicle
*Billy shakes his head*
Billy: No, *Gestures to armored duster* My armor covers more, sides, I'm the one with the "Freaky healing thing" *Grins and walks infront of Jordan*

*Smiles and steps back infront*

So you can use your 'Freaky healing thing' to heal me. Just let me do this, I don't want to see you get hurt again.

*Pulls out magnum*

Piece of cake.. What is the weapon though?

Billy: And you think I do? *Looks worried but doesn't argue*

*Scatty moves forward slowly with a penlight in her mouth swords out. Every now and then she'll stop and check a spiderweb or rock on the ground to make sure it's not a trap*

BH: We do not know. All we know is that it's old, and powerful.

Huh, most other people I knew woulda threw me in front by now.

*shrugs*

*Smiles and follows Scatty*

So why are we getting it? I am all for quests, but why should we take this weapon?

Black Hawk: Scatty's a collector. Many of the most dangerous weapons are safest with either her, or Nicholas

*Scatty stops and hold out a hand to make everyone else stop.*
Scatty: 'eres somfin' 'ere. *Kneels down to look at a out of place part of the cave floor. As she does a blade spins above her head nearly decapitating her and slicing the edges off her spiky hair.*

Scatty: WOAH!

*rolls back as another blade almost slices her legs off*

Scatty: Okay... okay... there's gotta be a way past these...

Clog the gears?

*Scatty gestures foward*
Scatty: Do you see any gears?

*Coughs lightly*

S'cuse me Scatty.

*Takes a running start, then spirals through the air for a few metres*

*Disappears into the darkness and stays silent*

*Billy stares in stunned silence*

BH: Did she just?-

Scatty: That's either very brave or very stupid...

Jay? You there?

*Blades slow down, to a non-dangerous pace*

C'mon through!

*Sword is jammed in the cave wall*

Just making sure we have a reason.

*And walks on through*

Well done Jordan!

*in a cheap Boston accent* How'd ya get so smawt.

*steps through the blade trap*

*Scatach ducks under a blade and claps a hand on Jordan's shoulder*

Scatach: 3 more seconds, 3 more seconds and I was about to do that. *Shakes head and moves on*

*Black Hawk follows her while Billy comes through the blades*
Billy: That worked, nice job.

*Nods happily and covers up a shallow cut along side of neck*

Glad to be useful.

Billy: Oh, hey, *Traces the cut with his finger and it stops bleeding*
There ya go. *Follows after the others*

*Smiles and follows close behind*

*From ahead Scatty shouts*
WATCH OUT!
*Another set of arrows flies from the shadows. Scatty drops to the floor, Black Hawk dodges behind a outcrop and Billy turns his back and wraps himself around Jordan*

*draws a katana and cuts an arrow in half in one motion*
*jumps to the side to avoid the rest*

*Pulls Billy to the side at the last second, minimizing the amount of arrows that hit him*

Talk to me Billy! Please...

*Eyes widen*

*Right arm becomes a blur and shoots the rest of the arrows from flight*

*Billy looks up and grins as the arrows plink off the metal plates in his coat*
Billy: Toldja I should be in front. *gestures to armored coat*

Black Hawk: You're just lucky they weren't the kind out front!

Scatty: Lucky, and stupid.


OOC: I wouldn't actually do it... yet... *Mysterious laugh*

*Hugs Billy and scowls at him*

Don't fething do that again. That was next level stupid, just like Scatty said. I could've dodged them easily.

Billy: Ugh. Well I just... I reacted. Okay? *Sees scowl* I'm sorry okay?!
*Scatty rolls her eyes, bites down on the penlight and moves on followed by Black Hawk*

Just don't react like that again.

*Gives Billy a serious look and walks off infront*
