After the perfect landing atop of APC, Trixie blinked shaking her head. "Well let's put it this way. I'm glad it worked." she sighed, somewhat concerned as to just how the jump could have proven fatal. Then again, as the floor began tilting beneath her, that was a certain sign, things could have been a lot worse.
Remaining seated in her chair which she had conveniently landed in, the fox's ears twitched several times. She opened her mouth to yelp how little time they had, but was interrupted by the roar of engines. These so painfully loud on her sensitive ears she found herself wincing opening one eye to look at the chameleon as he directed the sub out of the tunnel. "Ryu we're out of ti-"
Her warning was too late however, as the shockwave of the explosion had gathered the ship in its stride. Trixie too was thrown forward, yelping as she was. It was moments later she pushed herself up off the floor and looked across for the chameleon. "Ryujin? Ryujin are you alright?" she was able to hoarsly mutter, nursing her left hand where she had grazed it upon her landing. It only took moments to locate him, unfortunately out cold. Cursing loudly, she crawled over, shifting him into what is widely known as the recovery position, placing her ear to his chest making sure there was a pulse.
Of course, her automatic worry was the hit to the head could have cause Ryu some major damage. Then of course there was that nagging factor she had no idea how on earth to work a sub, and they were stuck in the middle of the ocean.

Ryuin slowly came to, and tried to open his eyes... the instant they were open again, he let out a muffled curse, and closed them again. Pain... His head was throbbing madly, and he had no idea why... Opening his eyes again, he squinted against the glare, and yelped when he saw Trixie standing over him. "Wha? Who?" He said, then realised that he knew her from somewhere... "Umm... Dammit... Head... Bleugh..." He held his head with his hands as he raised himself to a sitting posistion... "Right... I remember Lupine saying something... and then some big robot flying of, and... Robot... Lupine... That Traitorous Cur!" He yelled, leaping to his feet. "Trixie, better strap up, we're going after her!" He sat down, flicked the subs engines into gear, then revved the engines. "I'll get her back... And i'll destroy that robot... The emeralds are bad enough, if anyone gets their hands on an artifical emarld power source... we're all doomed." He growled, then looked at the control panel... "Big red button... Big red button... There it is." He grabbed the button, twisted it clockwise, and caught it as it popped out. "Don't push the big red button... but they never listen, just knocks them out though... This is what the have to watch out for." Ryujin lifted the plastic cover, and reached down. "Watch out Trixie, we're off!" he flicked the little green switch.
"Wha?" outside, a lone dolphin who had come across the sub blinked in alarm as the water temprature around him heated up. "Oh... no... No..no...no.nononononononononononoooo!!!!" The dolphin swam away as fast as his fins could cary him as the sub underwent a transformation. It's chassis shited, flattening on the ends, and making the middle roundish. The wings swept towards the bottom, and formed into runners. After it was done, the sub had turned into a rocket-propelled Sea plane. The boosters attached under the wings burst into life, the flames glowing brightfly as the plane swooped into the night sky and over the horizen.

Doing as she was instructed to do, Trixie remained silent, sat safely down in her seat. "Watch out? Ryujin what the hell are you-" she began to demand before her eyes caught movement outside the sub. When the transformation was complete she blinked, watching the chameleon with narrowed eyes. "If this is another first attempt of a feature, I-"
Again she was cut off, as by the time she could finish her threat - hollow as it was - they were in the sky, leaving the ocean and the terrified dolphin behind. "Well, didn't see that coming." she muttered, shaking her head as she tried her best to laugh off the situation. She was in a morphing machine with a chameleon she hardly knew on the chase of betraying wolf with a robot that could end humanity as they knew it. This was certainly not an average day even by her standards. Now the first thought that came into mind was ‘Don’t panic. Everything will be fine. He’s saved you from a very nasty explosion once already. Oh, he saved me. Yeah. Should thank him for that… Ya know… When we land…’
So on her thoughts went as she gazed out aimlessly at the night sky, not saying anything.

Ryuijn grinned. "Now now... don't worry, this transforming sub has been tested many times before" He smiled at her, then unstrapped himself, and stood up. "Isn't the view lovely outside... All the lights and everything..."Ryujin stood at the window for several minutes, seemingly lost in thought. "Right... anyway... Lupine, thats our problem at the moment... Okay... seeing as we have no idea where she went, we could either blindly wander the globe, looking for the telltale energy signs, or go back to my home base, and try and work out where she went... Unless you have any other alternatives, or plans?"

The fox got to her feet, crossing to the window. "Well it would be pointless to stay up here just waiting. Chances are we would miss Lupine by the time we get to where an energy sign was let off. I would advise we head to a base and set off from there. I perhaps might know someone who can help though." she sighed, not quite sure if bringing more people into this was wise. "Or, perhaps I could track her without calling my friend in. I'd need to access a computer is all." she explained, looking back out the window, desperately trying to grasp ideas that sprung to mind. Sadly, there was nothing more. "Either way, you seem to know Lupine, slightly. Is there anywhere you think she might take a deadly robot?"

Ryujin sighed "The less people who know about this, the better I think... If we needed any help, we'd be best of looking towards the elementals, but i doubt it will come to that... now, as for a computer? Guess it's back to the base for now then... Got one here, but the mobile link is playing up... and we don't need someone evesdropping." He chuckled, then tapped a button on the control panel as he walked past. "Now then... anything i can get you... something to eat, drink, a good book?"

Trixie nodded, completly agreeing with Ryujin's statements. The next question however took her by surprise. "Oh." she chuckled, looking back out of the window. "No, thank you I'm fine for now." She insisted, staring at the city below, watching each building pass beneath them. "Just where is your base located anyway?" she asked, curious as to just how long it would take to reach the location. More importantly, hom much damage Lupine could do while they were in the air.
Perhaps this would be a good time to ask the chameleon more about himself. Just how he had gotten himself involved with such missions as destroying robots, meeting such characters as the cyborg wolf. But yet, it was not her plac to ask. It might have been something along the lines of, you know to much I have to kill you. Either way, they were working together now. She'd probably find out somewhere along the line.

"My base? Somewhere along here.... I just have the thing on auto pilot, never pay much attention to where it's headed... It's located in the lands of the Silver Moon clan, I can tell ya that much... only place I know is safe from any one attacking... Or used to be anyway, before the tratorous Lupine came back..." Ryujin had a dark scowl on his face as he mentioned her name. "Yeah... Long story, but that wolf is my half sister..." Ryujin sighed... "I'd tell you, but we're getting pretty close to home." Ryujin sat down, and gently slid the plane into land, then hopped out. "Computer room is this way," He claled over his shoulder, flicking a remote over his shoulder which lowered a ramp from the plane to the ground.

From the scowl on Ryujin's face, clearly Lupine was a sour subject to bring up. Trixie simply nodded, understanding that perhaps it was best to leave the conversation as it was. Having her own fair share of family troubles when it came to half-siblings, she knew how difficult it could be to talk about. "Well either way, we'll be fine." she reassured trotting off the plane after the chameleon.
Naturally, she scanned the room with her golden eyes, wanting to know just how vast this base was. If there was a room dedicated to computers, clearly this could get interesting. Of course the more she thought about it, the more it occured to the fox that there was more chance of her completly destoying the network of technology. The idea she had in mind she had only witnessed. It would be best to keep her mouth shut of that factor until something began to smoke from it's wires.

Ryujin pushed a few button in a small keypad in what was seemingly a blank wall, and wating as it opened into a huge room, easily 100 feet from ende to end, with several computers all linked together. "You said you needed a computer? You'll have anything you need here, and don't worry about blowing up the mainframe, this is just a minor subnetwork i use for gaming in down time." He grined at this last thought, the plopped himself down infront of one, then slipped some headphones on, and booted it up. "Ah, yeah, if you need anything, James will get it for you." James being a penguin seeming to doze on a sofa near the edge of the room before a roaring fire. He turned back to the computer, and immersed himself into it, ignoring the outside world completly. "Just throw a brick at me when your done, not much else will wake me up." He called jokingly, before getting completly immersed.

Trixie gave a brief nod, glancing to James at his mention. It seemed rather odd that an arctic creature would find a fireplace a good thing to nap in front of, but who was she to judge.
Shrugging off this concept she walked to one of the computers, loading it up. After a few minutes she began the process of typing in something in binary. A programme hastily loaded, this opened window displaying the world on which they stood. With a few more clacks of her fingers against the keyboard, this world became a map.
Content that her hacking into a dear friends satellites, she sat down and awaited any movement on the map. The fox yawned, wrapping her tail around her lap. It was now just a waiting game.

Ryujin threw off the headphones, and stood up, walking over to where Trixie sat, with her tail in her lap. "I guess I owe you a few explanations." He sighed, the took a seat next to her. "Lupine... We're not actually related by blood, but my half brother adopted her into his family, and as such, into mine, seeing as he's the elder if us two." He muttered, then spoke again. "She and I have never really gotten along too well... She's always been interested in just flirting with people, while I've been trying to get some work done... Eventuly, she snuck into my private labs while I was working one day, and trying to accost me there... After that, I couldn't stand any more, so I left." He sighed, "Zion - my brother - tried to get me to stay... but I knew i could never make my home near her again. I moved out here deeper within the forest, and buit this lair, much of it underground, and shielded with the latest in technolgy. Only two people know where it is, and I can't even remember half the time..." He stood up, and started pacing. "But... things arn't so simple any more... Lupine's always hated being rejected, and after that episode... I think she's wanted to kill me off ever since... probably why she engagade the robot, the hid till we came in I guess... Makes sense. But... she's always been someone who works on her own, what rare work she does at all. I just can't think of any explanation for it..." He sighed, then sat down again. "Thats about all I can tell you really... it's all confusing to me, so yeah... Anyway... hows your work coming along?"

As Ryu's tale went on, the fox sat listening carefully. "Well it certainly clears up what's happening a little." she sighed, looking somewhat sympathetically at the chameleon. With a slight smile, she decided that perhaps a subject change was needed. "We'll fix this. She's not winning this one, alright." the fox chirped, leaning forward in her chair.
"This, is one of my friend's satellite systems. She is able to watch any location in the world with these, and I can guarantee any unusual energy readings will show- uh, like that." she tilted her head to gesture to a flickering blue light located central of the map. Hastily, Trixie's fingers typed in a code, this zooming in on the flickering light. It took a while to load at such a detailed scale, but sure enough, to the fox's dislike, E-204 Alpha was lurking.
Worried, she looked to Ryujin. "I think that's what you were looking for."

Ryujin peered at the dot, then scowled. "It is... but where the hell is it? I need long/lat cords or something... wait." Reaching over her shoulder, he pulled up a program, and fitted another map straight over the top of hers. "Oh... No... That ****ing *****!" He shouted. "She's built her base right in the middle of the demon's city... I know mortals like me arn't usually allowed in, but you've got to make an exception this time, if we don't, she's liable to blow that thing up remotly, and take out the whole city with it., plus who knows if she's already duplicated it or something?" He growled, the yelled "James!"
The penguing waddled over, instantly awake, "Your pleasure, Sir?"
"Ready the Mach III." He said, then paused. "No... ready the Mach IV Prototype, We're going to need the extra Firepower for this... "Turning to Trix, he asked "Is there anyway you could get an evacuation of that sector of the city?"

As soon as it clicked just which city it was the fox covered her mouth as she let out a gasp. "I don't have much power in the city Ryujun, but you're going to have to get in either way." she then glanced over her shoulder to the penguin as he waddled over, still trying to regain herself as she got to her feet. "Prototype?" she repeated, shaking her head.
It was then the concept of evacuation was put into play. "I don't know... I could try it I suppose." she partly whimpered, her ears on their sides as she attempted to focus. A quick glow of her eyes, and a flame appeared on her fingertip. Within moments, the flame vanished and Trixie looked to Ryujin. "I've sent a warning, but that's all I can do for now."
