Ryu thought back to what he saw of the robot as it had flown away from the city. "From what I saw, The Emulator was a small box which it was carrying in it's hand." He said, then flicked his eyes back to the skies. "Anyway, We're getting pretty near to the tracker signal, so I'm gonna take us down, so we can start looking on foot." And with this, he took the plain into a downward spiral, looking for somewhere to land.
Meanwhile, back at the splutsite...
"Wha?" Azrael slowly started to come around. He stood up, looked arround, had the time to get out a quick, "Where am I?" before he caught site of the blood, and fainted, yet again.
"Useless Henchman..." Zion's ghost floated over the area. "So, that damned chamelion stole my moonstone, eh? No worries there, I can soon make another once I get myself cleaned up... but someone's going to have to go after Ryu, and get that Chaos Emulator... hmm..." Zion stewed this over as he begain the painstakingly slow task of inching his organs and bodyparts back towards a small glowing stone in the centre of the marks. "Hmm... Lupine! She should do nicely." Abandoning his his corpse/spluttedness he sought out the shewolf.
Back to Ryu now...
Ryu slowly broght the plane in, perfectly landing it, then hopped out. "According to the signal, the tracker should be right around here somewhere!" He called, then looked around. "Umm... That way!" He called, pointing east, then waited to see if the Firepaw's were coming.
Meanwhile, In the midsts of a deserted jungle, somewhere off the coast of Africa on the small island know as Lupineland...
"Lupine! Lupine!"
"Wah?!" The wolf tumbled out of bed, then stared at the faint form of Zion floating before her.
"Lupine... I need you to do me a favour, go find that damned Ryu, and get the Chaos Emulator before he does! If you do, I can promise great things for you... You would be a queen amongst wolves, Nay, Amongst all mortals!" He said to her.
"Ryu? That hunk-a-spu-Erm... Junk? Sure!" She said, then dropped into the cokpit of her Dart, and was off.

The Firepaw sisters were just behind Ryujin as he lead them to the east. Whilst Trixie kept herself silent, eyes glancing around to locate the robot, Haze was running through a fight plan in her head. "Well, if it's on the robots hand, I just vote let me go ahead and claw the limb off. That way, any wiring shouldn't be too damaged that way. This hopefully avoiding any damage to the area." she explained, soon placing ahead of the only male in the group. Regardless to his plan of action, that was her plan sorted.
Trixie sighed, attempting a smile. "Haze rarely gets it wrong when it comes to cybernetics, but I think she'll need back up if that's what we plan to do. Who says the robot hasn't already been found?"
"You worry to much." the feline simply smirked, waving her hand dismissivily.

Ryu grimaced as Trixie spoke. "It's doubtful that he already has been found, Last we knew, Zion was splutted, and I doubt Az could do anything else about it..." He thought this things over in his head, then stopped. "Hang on... what was that?" He said, pointing of into the bushes.
"Don't worry, Just me!" Lupine walked out into the open, holding her hands behind her back.
"Lupine... You B*tch!" Ryu yelled, then leapt at her, a strange black aura glowing around one hand.
"Tsk tsk tsk... You should know better Ryu." Lupine brought one hand out from behind her back holding a small crossbow in it. "You are smart enough... I think..." She shrugged, and shot at Ryu from pointblank range.
"You think?" Ryu laughed, and the dark aura surrounding his hand suddenly flashed to surround him, as he phased through both the bolt, and Lupine, before whirling on the ball of his foot, moving to plant his dagger betweem her shoulderblades, but she wasn't there.
"Yep," She dropped onto his back from the tree's above, moving her arm, and then slowly sliding one of her deadly wrist blades across the skin.
"Of course... I only wish i could say the same for you." Ryu phased right through this latest attack, then flicked his arm back, forcing Lupine to impale herself upon the blade. "Don't play with edged weapons Lupine... You always were better with guns." He turned, and walked back to the two sisters.
"I'll be back, you know that." And Lupine phased out and dissapeared.
"Yep" Ryu said to the thin air, then turned back to Haze and Trixie. "Looks like Zion may be back... So we don't have much time... split up, and comb the area, look for a hidden entrance underground, or anything remotly suspicious. Got it?" He started to walk of, the turned back. Looking directly into Haze's eyes, he said one word, "Please?"

Haze narrowed her eyes as he made eye contact with her. She had somewhat hoped that Lupine could have done at least a little damage to the chameleon. But no. Nothing. He walked out of the scrap triumphant. Either way, he said please. With a nod, she turned on her heels, marching off to the east of where they stood. "If we find anything, or get into trouble, make some kind of signal." she ordered over her shoulder, continuing her hike without a word.
The fox nodded her head, obediently turning on her heels and trotting off to the east. Such a pleasent area to get succesfully lost in. Which was a bonus, being as after a while she was completely oblivious to her surroundings apart from the fact she was swarmed by trees. Sighing, she glanced over her shoulder to see something shining behind a tree. Blinking her golden optics, she turned to face the object.

Ryu watched as both Haze and Trixie trotted of, then flicked his HUD into infra-red, and set of into the forest as well. Soon, he came upon the seat of Lupine's dart, and stopped dead in his tracks. Sitting there on the seat was another moonstone. Though much smaller then the one he currently had on a chain around his neck, it was still a moonstone... and that was very bad news. "Haze? Trixie? Somebody?!" Ryu started to panic, then clamed himself down. "Come on Ryu... think about it... Zion's gone splut, right? How can anyone survive that?" And with these words of encourage ment to himself, he picked up the moonstone, and walked off.
Meanwhile, back at Area 52 - Sub-divixion of Metal Harbour:
"What is it?" "Look at it!" You ever seen anything like that Bob?" "Can't say I have George, can't say I have..."
Lupine paced back and forth in a glass capsule. Just her luck to warp straight into a human military base, where they instantly surrounded her and locked her up. Of course, the moonstone was far out of reach now as well, so she couldn't warp out. "I swear, the instant I get out of her, I'm going to kill that damned chamelion!" She muttered to herself as she continued her endless paceing.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Lupine... I confess myself dissapointed..." Zion suddenly emerged from the shadows, a whip which seemed to be made of pure darkness dangling from one hand.
"What the hell is that?" "Who are you?" "Stop! In the name of the President!"
The various researchers and gurads around the place stammered a few various phrases, and a few brave ones even drew and shot at the panther.
"Fools... all of you." Zion waved one paw, and every human in the place dropped dead. Well... all except one, George just sat at the back of the room, now talking to the corpse of Bob about the mysterious flash that just popped up, seemingly unaware that Bob was now deccessed.
"What the f*ck happened to you, and what took you so long?" Lupine growled at Zion, then stepped out as he raised the walls of the capsule.
"I got... help up." He said, then looked at her. "As to what happened... I've ascended, thats what. No longer any mere mortal, I've risen into the league of Daemons. "
"Daemons? you mean Demons, right?" Lupine stooped over to collect her gear from under the chair next to George, ignoring his rambling. "You know, those like Trixie, and Diablo... Hydro I think as well."
"Do not talk of Diablo Firepaw's revoloution to me!" Zion glared at Lupine, then resumed stalking about the room, as he addressed her. "No, not any mere demon, a Daemon. I've made it my lifes task to destroy all of angel and demon kind, and I'm not going to let any minor inconvenience such as death stand in the way." Zion suddenly spread a huge pair of wings from his back, which seemed to be made of pure flame, with one difference. they were pure black... Just as the rest of him now. Even his eyes had turned black. "Now, I've given you enough time... Kill Ryujin or not, mortals are beneath me now." And with these words, he wrapped those daemonic wings about himself, flicked them open, and was gone.
"Damn... That guy has got to stop vanishing... it's getting old by now..." Lupine muttered to herself, and she paced out, and hopped into one of the human fighterjets. It wasn't her dart, but it would have to do. Lifting off, she headed back to Lupineland to plan how to best destroy Ryu, and get the C.E.
Lost in a jungle, near the angel city:
"Trixie! Haze!" Ryu pushed through the forest as he looked for either of the firepaw sisters. He froze as a maelovent shadow passed over him, then shrugged it off, and continued on, never thinking to look in the sky, where for a quick moment, the sun darkened, then was normal. Ryu continued his search for some sign of the HSMX robot, or the firepaw sisters.

Trixie's ears twitched, as she heard Ryujin shouting. Going back to her cleared path of pushed aside undergrowth, she waved at the approaching figure. "Ryu! Over here!" she called, turning back to the shining object she had stumbled across. She took this chance to make a better observation. Raiding the undergrowth, the fox spotted a small rock with a pale aura. As she held her hand out towards it, she yelped, stepping back. "Angel energy." she clariffied, clutching her right hand with her left.
"Where?" a second voice demanded, the feline sister pacing towards them between the trees. Her eyes soon located the auraed earth. She fluttered her wings to get a little more height. As she landed, she pointed pretty much to the north. "There's more of them that way." she announced, pushing through the undergrowth to lead the group onwards.
Trixie - who still nursed her hand looked across to Ryu, shrugging her shoulders, followed the cat. Sure enough, as they walked, the more of the aura came into view. Before long, there was a sector of the forest where each tree was surrounded in the white glow. Where as the cat kept strolling on, Trixie froze. "You two." she hissed, gesturing her head to a hole in the ground, sparkling silver in the air surrounding it.
Haze chuckled, raising her hands, claws outstreached. "Let's go."
A sigh passed her sisters lips. "Haze let's think this thr-" By this point the cat had leapt down the hole, Trixie slumping forwards. "-ough... Oh for God's sake..." she growled, narrowing her eyes and looking back to Ryujin. "Shall we?"

Ryu frowned. "Angel energy... that can't be a good sign..." None the less, he follow along, stoping with Trixie as they came to the hole in the ground. He watched as Haze jumped in with nary a second though, the turned to Trixie raising his eyebrow questioningly. "Is your sisters always so... rash?" He asked, then looked down the hole. "Anyway... not really much we can do but go down I guess... See if they left a welcomeing party." Ryu stepped out over the hole, and vanished from sight.
Meawhile... Back at Area 52:
"Bob... Bob... Wake up man..." George rolled over, and imediatly reached for a doughnut, and placed it in his mouth. "It's half past 10 in the morning dude... We gotta get to work!"
Bob didn't show any response, and George shoved yet another doughnut into his mouth, then suddely groaned. "Where am I?" He demanded of george, sitting up to take a look at his surroundins, his head swiviling 360 degrees on his neck.
"Your... at the office... Umm... we musta worked overtime last night, and slept here I guess and... how'd you do that?" George peered at Bob, then attempted to perform the same manovour, only giving himself a headache. "Maybe... nex time..." George fel over onto the floor, out cold.

"That's the famous Haze Firepaw alright." Trixie sighed, peering down the hole. Nodding her head in agreement to Ryu's statement, she leapt after him. "Knowing Haze, please tell me you mean a moutain of bodies as 'welcoming party'..." she whimpered, just before landing. The fox curiously glanced around, soon eye to eye with her sibling.
The cat, seemed frustrated, her outburst of good will cut short. "I don't see a robot..." she growled, disheartened, arms crossed tightly across her chest, the halo above her head rotating swiftly.

Ryu couldn't help but to insert a rather foolish comment at this point, for all that it was probably a very bad idea. "Try turning the lights on?" He said, then flicked on a flashlight and gasped. "Ah, and turn around as well." Ryu peered deeply into the gloom, at what seemed to be row upon row of E-200 series robots. "Well... this could get interesting..." suddenly they heard a thumping coming from outside, and two humans tumbled down through the hole.
"Bob! Let me go!" "Nu-uh, Bob need George to tell which robot which, and to shoot peashooter." "Bob... Let me go! Or I'll use this peashooter as you say, on you!" "Bob not afraid f peashooter, but robot is... You shoot robot, Bob steal the C.E. End of story."
During this conversation, Ryu had slipped behind the two humans, and inserted his dagger between Bob's ribs, to seeming no effect.
"Odd..." Ryujin seemed lost in thought, and the two continued their argument as if they'd never heard him. Deciding he couldn't see any other way to neutralise the humans, Ryu quickly cut the skin down to where Bob's heart should of been. Note the should... Instead, there was a small stone, soft pulsing.
"Dammit! Another moonstone! Zion's getting stronger..." Ryujin grimaced, then frowned at the robots. "Haze... is there something you could do about them please?"
In the meantime George, now free of the mysterious Zombie Bob, had scrambeled back to the surface, and ran through the bushes.
There was a scream... there was silence, there was another scream, and then... "Splut!!"

Haze gave a swift nod of her head, beating her wings and taking to the air towards the swarms of E-200's, eyes narrowed, the rare sight of a smile on her face as she swooped, talons contacting metal. With a sharp 'clang' a neatly sliced line of robots feel the seperated halves exploding as they contacted the ground. She then made a loop of this process, and after about the fifth run of this, the feline lost interest. Besides, the robots all had a pretty good lock on her by this point, and even a fighter of her self-proclaimed skill could only block so many missiles and what-not.
Chuckling, Haze landed, wings spread wide. Her green optics began to switch tone, eventually reaching a blood red. With that, she clapped her hands together, a binary coding becoming visable, spread over her mechanical 'bones' of translucent red. Within seconds, the robots were frozen, the same coding spreading across their metalic frames. This was promptly followed by a large kaboom, a field of red light forming around the onlooking mortal and demon, deflecting any robotic legs or arms which went in their direction.
Whilst her sister contently mauled E-200 army, Trixie gave a worried glance to Ryujin. "You're kidding me? Ryu, he went splut. Bone cracking splut. How could he of survived that?" she frowned, ears on their sides. "Either way, what's he doing 'zombiefying' humans?" she continued to question. She was cut off by the "kaboom" at that point, so left it at that.

"Long story... Yeah, he went splut... Who knows what happened after thatm he had some prety powerful magics, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were based in necromancy...." Ryu winced at the explosion, then grinned at the smile on Haze's face, despite himself. "As for why anyone would want to zombiefy humans... With Zion, does he need a reason? You heard his speach about chaos jewels and eradicating angels and demons earlier... He's insane I think, Power-mad."

"Necromancy?" Trix repeated, sighing. The whole reminder of Zion's speech caused her to look rather hurt, as she began to walk on, past the remains of the E-200's. She remained silent as she wondering amongst the aftermath of her sister's attack, head lowered. The idea of all demons, even those not involved in the war at hand being taken out due to one power hungry panther, was daunting for her to take in. Actually, in the whole avoidance of Ryujin's splut, she had quite forgotten it.
At the yonger Firepaw's sudden burst of anguish, the grin that lurked on Haze's lips switched into a snarling grimace. Her clawed hands, again took hold of the chameleon's neck. "What did you say reptile? WHAT DID YOU SAY?" she roared, radiation from her talons becoming painful with each second her vice grip remained.
"He didn't do anything Haze." the fox called over her shoulder. "Put him down and lets find that robot before it's too late." she instructed, waiting for them to catch her up.
Dropping Ryujin at once, the feline gave a slight nod of her head and walked after her sibling, not bothering to help him up. Yet alone apologise.
