**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Yeah, I better stop that...

**Eckeon**

I drop to the ground and roll behind another tree, coming up around the side of ti and firing at the muzzle flash of the target.

**The Bringer**

Myoji goes on his hands and feet, ducking under the stream of bullets. He puts his kamas on his back and starts crawling with deft agility. He moves in a semi circle to the source of the bullets, trying to stay behind trees and bushes as much as he can.

**Tyranic Marta**

Bullets fired from Benjamins machinegun ripple over the surface of one of the droids damaging it slightly, however the stream of bullets are unhindered for several minutes. The droids work in unison pushing the two contestants together. Niether of them are sure what will happen if they get hit but the reality of the place puts them in a state of mind where niether are willing to find out. Soon the two end up back to back and Myoji notices the toned muscles of the man behind him and smiles, a soldier. Benjamin gets a similar impression from the blades sheathed across the mans back.

Tyranic drops into a roll going behind a tree and pokes his head up firing at the droid that Benjamin started, gunning off one of the chainguns attatched to the droid. He salutes the two men before makeing a few deft hand movements sugesting a circling movement with Myoji going from tree to tree down the middle as Benjamin and Tyranic cover him.

**Eckeon**

I nod and switch the machine gun from burst to auto and takes cover next to a mossy rock, and starts laying suppressive fire

**The Bringer**

Myoji nods to soldier giving him directions, and as soon as the pair open fire he starts running... Curse these white robes... he thought as another stream of bullets narrowly missed him and shredded a bush next to him...

He continued to weave his way tree to tree. When he is sure that the source of the bullets is but meters away, he pulls out his kamas, and jumps out of cover, and runs forward, his weapons swinging elegantly in loops around him.

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic fires short controlled bursts into the bush searching for the muzzle flash, the pair of gunmen score several hits but Myoji deals the killer, his Kamas looping Through the carapace of a insectile looking droid that promptly collapsed to the ferny ground. Moments later the second droid was ripped asunder. Tyranic raises a fist and unclenches and clenches it several times, the universal hand signal for "The the feth over here"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Uhhh... what about Raven?

**Tyranic Marta**

sorry completely missed that shas

anyhoo

Raven enters through the edge of the area his boots sinking into the mud of the jungle. Distaste written all over his face he quickly picks up on the sounds of concentrated gunfire rippling through the area

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Raven treads carefully though the jungle, trying to make his way towards the gunfire, making sure he is not seen by anyone.

When he thinks he is really close, he heads up to the treetops with ease. So he can have a supreme view.

**Tyranic Marta**

He quickly finds the trees difficult to climb, unlike any rainforest on earth these trees seem to activly resist climbers, making their boughs slippery and seemingly stable branches snap audibly. Thankfully there is so much noise that noone notices the sounds. However you find that you can only climb about halfway up the tree. lookking through the dense unergrowth you see two men giving cover fire for a third white robed man. With a younger individual taking cover furthur back behind a tree. It takes you a second to figure out what theyre firing at but the shape of a pair of Insectile droids swim into view as your eyes adjust to the lighting at that height

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Raven goes to fire at the men with his silenced intervention, but realizes that hose Insect droids could become a problem if not taken out. Anyway, allies would always come in handy.

He takes aim at the droid closest to the men, and makes a clean headshot, seeing the droid suddenly stop, and fail to run.

Raven makes a grin under the skull mask, and moves accordingly to take out the others.

**Eckeon**

A single shot, high and to the rear. A thud in brush to my right. "Sniper in the trees I think, just dropped one over here. Makes three to go."

**Tyranic Marta**

TYranic nods and casts his eyes over the treeline, his practised vision noting a line of dismembered branches from where the shot had origionated. but the brush was to heavy to spot the shooter properly. He tensed internally wondering what it would feel like to have a bullet go through him. He sighs to himself at the imagined pain. But nods ahead to the next downed of the jungle trees, he skids over to it and pokes his head up but immediatly brings it down as a sharp crack and then a slightly deeper thump rip out and a area of ground infront of him explodes into a shower of dirt and twigs.

He turns to the others now getting deeper into cover
"Theyve got RPG'S!!"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

The men down there were getting spooked. Raven couldn't shoot near them. It could show that he was hostile towards them. He couldn't let that happen. He didn't need any more enemies.

Suddenly a massive explosion blew right next to the men. He could not let the enemies take another shot at them, or they could be dead in minutes.

He looked around calmly and coolly. He spotted a droid with an explosive rocket strapped onto his back, and knew it was the assailant.

Raven looked down the scopes, and took aim at the little rocket strapped onto it. The bullet would puncture it, and hopefully set it aflame.

Raven savored the explosion when the droid blew up.

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic heard the explosion and thought a momentary Curse. The snipers getting all the fun.

He leaps over the log ducking deftly under a vine and rising into a standing crouch. His gun hits his shoulder and shots hammer home into the nearest droid. It writhes slightly sparking and then collapsing. Marta hears anouther crack form the distinctive launchers and ducks behind a tree. But even that cover isnt enough to stop the full force of the blast and he catches the shockwave sprawling him on the Dirt. He raises his rifle and shoots a branch which falls in the way of himself and the droid allowing him to shrug into cover.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Ohhh great, don't try and be the hero," Raven mumbled at the sight of the man running out of cover. It made Ravens job a whole lot easier that he took out one of the droids, but -

"Oh gak."

The little show the man had put on had made one of the droids look around and see the slight movement of Ravens head, and he had a few seconds before the launcher would be firing on him.

Raven jumped out of the tree, and slammed into one opposite him just as the previous tree erupted into flames. He scrambled to get a hold, but he couldn't and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Just great..."

Raven struggled to get to his feet, and picked up his sniper which had fallen to the ground. He switched it for his shotgun, and ran head first into battle.

**Tyranic Marta**

Marta hear a buzzing sound high above and looked up. Seeing a couple of flying droids with gatling cannons he swore loudly.
"The old coot tricked us!!"

Tyranic saw the man sprinting forwards and flicked out an arm grabbed him and wrenched him in as the drones spattered the ground with a hail of bullets.
"We need to get into cover now!!, I dont know who you are or if ill ever seen you again but hear this. Ive never lost someone cause of their own recklessness, these things are more than capable of killing any of us, I nearly had that experience a moment ago, Im sure you saw it"
He pushes the man ahead of him.
"Run man Run"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

When Raven was grabbed by the man, he felt like backhanding him, but that would not help the current situation. He allowed himself to be pushed forward but he let the man run a bit ahead of him, while Raven blasted the droids with his shotgun, who got too close to him.

He looked around, and saw an a little dip in the ground.

"Everybody! Over there!"

**Eckeon**

Thankfully the rock was more stable than the other cover in the area, rolling around it to keep it between the bots and myself, i see the RPGs flying around and the successful counter made by the sniper... that guy must have been doing this a while to get a rifle instead of a machine gun, oh well something to look forward to. By my count there are two left and theyre buzzing over head. They havent seen me yet but that shoudnt take to long from that angle, whats their propulsion? A few good shots in the thrusters would make em drop just got to find them first. Time to move before they find me, the sniper is pointing out what looks like a small gulley from here, could be good, move there in a wide arc since the drones are following the two makin a bee-line for it.

**Tyranic Marta**

The three men dive into the over hang as several shots smash through the undergrowth. Tyranic grabs the sniper by the lapels and slams him up against the wall of the over hang. His adrenaline running high.
"Who the hell are you?!!"
The man punches Marta in the gut but he jusrt grins and punches on back, the sniper doubles over Marta straitens him back out again.
"You want to give me pain? Then take some boy. But you diddnt answer my question, Who the Hell are you?"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Raven took a deep breath. He wasn't expecting this, especially from a man whose life he had practically slaved.

He grabbed the man by the neck,pulled out his arm, and pushed out under his legs. This was one of his favorite holds, and it was damn near impossible to get out of if you didn't know about it.

"That's not really how you should react to someone who saved your life. Next time I might not bother. And here I was thinking I had come by an okay person. Now, I am not ever going to tell you who I am or what I do. But if you tread carefully, I may just help you with some of your problems. Do I make myself clear?"

**Eckeon**

I turn my gun on the both the men, shut up both of you. you can work out your problems later first lets kill the bots then you can kill each other, but if you dont knock it off ill kill both of you now.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Raven smirks under the mask.

"Fine. I was just telling your friend here that it is not a good idea to react that way towards your savior."

I draw my shotgun.

"Now where were we?"

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic grunts. His fingers looping around his smg's,
"You were telling us who the hell you are? Usually I wouldnt be so persistant but for all I know you could be a construct of this place sent to kill us, especially seeing as youve turned up with advanced equipment."

The weapons in his hands look menacing, as the left side of his body is peppered in shrapnel and hes ignoring it ontop of the perfectly steady hold of his guns. He steps forwards and blood pumps out of his thigh almost freely but begins to clot but the pain just makes him smile. The smile is eerie. Like he can see exactly what your thinking but doesnt want to say.

He casually plucks a piece of shrapnel out of his blood soaked side and holds it up. Still grinning he flicks it aside.
"Id hurry up if I were you, my patience doesnt last forever."

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"I don't need to tell you anything. I would like to keep my past a secret, and I would grant you the same. Now, do you want my help or not?" Raven asks, getting very annoyed.

Tyranic, for a moment thought he caught a glimpses of a pendant around the man neck. Just above his black leather combat suit, and just below his intimidating skull mask. He is about to ask but think the better of it. At least it may prove that the man is human.

"I'm Raven, by the way."

**Eckeon**

I reaload my magazine *click-click*. If you two wanna have a lady's afternoon and chit-chat fine but i intend to live through this mess and all this babbling is doin nothin but given the bots time to find us... so you talk im leavin. I head down to the far end of the gulley where it looks to be a way out. steppin part way up the rocks i look over the edge of the ridge, i can still here the bots buzzin around above us but cant see them...

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"I intend to do the same. Follow me if you want, but I make my own way."

Raven switches his shotgun for his sniper, and checks around the area, making certain it was clear.

**Tyranic Marta**

Tyranic looks oddly at the... man, before turning and heading the other way.
"The conditions of this place said that we had to kill the origional bots, it said nothing about these new ones, which suggests to me either something has gone wrong or this is extra, and frankly I would love to spend the next five months trying to hunt those things but I would get bored. Now I'm heading to the edge of this place see if I can find the controller"

**Eckeon**

Controller? Like a hub for the bots?
