[i][color=pink]'...'[/color] [color=crimson]'...hmmm...'[/color] [color=pink]'...'[/color] [color=crimson]'I'm starting to think that girl was lying about a library being on this ship...'[/color] [color=pink]'yeah... me to...'[/color][/i] The cloaked girl walked around the corridors of the ship with a confused expression as she tried to locate the illusive library. [i][color=crimson]'... you know what? screw this, lets find something to eat...'[/color][/i] A quiet rumble echoed down the hall the girl was in before she put her right hand on her belly. [i][color=pink]'yeah... we'll ask what's her name about the library after we get a bite to eat'[/color] [color=crimson]'hopefully the place where the food is kept is easier to find the this damn library'[/color][/i] The cloaked girl gave up on trying to find the supposed library and began her search for sustenance. [color=f7941d][i][b]BANG[/b][/i][/color] The cloaked girl froze in place as the sound of a gunshot rang down the hall, she quickly turned around to face the direction of the sound. [i][color=crimson]'that's not good...'[/color] [color=pink]'oh no!'[/color][/i] Without hesitation she ran towards the sounds origin as fast as she could. [seconds before the gunshot] A rather large armored being was quietly walking down one of the halls of the ship, light reflected off it's armored body as it moved, it's heavy foot falls somehow managing to stay silent. As it rounded a corner it noticed a man sitting on a bench working on a firearm, the armored being then began walking towards the man. With little warning the mans weapon went off and fired a round into the hall, the bullet seemed damn near possessed as it danced around the metal corridor, ricocheting off the walls before finding it's target. The mans head jerked from the impact as the projectile pierced clean through his skull while making a mess of the wall behind him before proceeding to speed down the hall only to ricochet once more, the bullet raced towards the large being's head only to be stopped cold in it's armored hand bringing it's rampage to an end. The armored man clenched it's hand tightly before lowering it's hand to it's side, dropping the crushed bullet to the floor. The armored man walked towards the unfortunate casualty and kneeled, bringing it's left hand to the mans face to close his eye's. The armored man then stood before looking down the hall to it's right, either oblivious or ignore the red liquid it got on it's hands from the fallen crew member. [i][color=crimson]'c'mon hurry up! we have to get there before what's his name does!'[/color] [color=pink]'what does it matter if he gets there before us?! someone needs our!... o-our...'[/color][/i] The cloaked girl had finally arrived at the gunshots origin, and she wasn't expecting what she seen. A tall armored man stood in front of one of her teammates with it's left hand dripping blood. Her eyes widened in surprise as she took a shocked step back, one of the people on her team, one who was specifically selected for this mission because of their abilities, was now dead at the hands of an armored giant. She wasn't so much socked at the fact that a teammate that she hardly knew was just killed. What had her backing up was that this large and somewhat intimidating armored being who somehow got onto the ship without anyone knowing, just killed one of her teammates and she didn't know how it did it, or how powerful it was. [i][color=crimson]'whoa... he looks tough...'[/color] [color=pink]'what should we do?!'[/color] [color=crimson]'well obviously we kick his *ss! and teach him not to mess with us!'[/color] [color=pink]'what?!'[/color] [color=crimson]'you heard me!'[/color][/i] The girl grit her teeth as she narrowed her eye's, though she seemed focused she was actually having an internal debate. Meanwhile the Armored man tilted it's head slightly before looking at it's left hand, noticing the red substance slowly dripping away it help it along and shook off the remaining liquid. Knowing that the situation looked bad the being took a few steps towards the cloaked girl, stopping after said few steps before trying to explain itself. [color=00aeef]"hey... calm down, this isn't what it looks like..."[/color] The man calmly explained through it's helmet's external speakers while he somewhat raised his hands in a surrendering manner, The girl seemed to focus as she narrowed her eye's slightly. [color=pink]"okay... why don't you tell me what happened then?"[/color] [i][color=crimson]'what are you doing?! attack him while he's off guard before he tries to kill us to!'[/color][/i] She asked as calmly as she could, her eyes looked like they were having a little difficulty staying on the armored man. [color=00aeef]"it was an accident, his weapon misfired while he was working on it... it ricocheted and... you can see the results..."[/color] With that said the armored man looked to the deceased crewmember's body before looking back to the cloaked girl while lowering his arms to his sides. The girl loosened up slightly before she looked around the hall, noticing the small dents in the walls, floor, and ceiling of the corridor, then there was what she guessed looked like a crushed bullet on the floor a few feet from the armored being. [i][color=crimson]'that's a total coincidence that those dents were there! there's no way that could've of happened! look how many times the bullet would have had to ricochet!'[/color] [color=pink]'look at the evidence... his story checks out... he's not holding a weapon, and our teammate's weapon looks like it was behind worked on... and look! right there on our teammates gun! the place were the casings come out looks scorched as if something went wrong!'[/color][/i] [color=00aeef]"I know it may sound a little farfetched, but it's true, you can check the security recordings for proof"[/color] [i][color=crimson]'tch...'[/color][/i] The cloaked girl raised a brow before the armored man motioned with his head towards one of the cameras at the end of the hall. With a bit of hesitation she eased up as she calmed down. [color=pink]"well... innocent until proven guilty right? I think that's how the saying goes..."[/color] [i][color=crimson]'ugh this is so lame!'[/color][/i] The armored man nodded his head slightly as he spoke in a tone that somehow portrayed him smiling. [color=00aeef]"yeah, that's the right way to say it"[/color] [i][color=crimson]'okay, lets say he didn't kill that guy, we still don't know who is he and why he's here...'[/color][/i] The girls widened her eye's slightly as a thought came to her, she then tensed up slightly. [color=pink]"wait, who exactly are you? you weren't mentioned as one of the people who'd be here for this mission so why are you here?!"[/color] She exclaimed accusingly while pointing towards him, also accusingly. The armored man didn't seem fazed by this as he answered calmly. [color=00aeef]"The name's John, and would you believe me if I said I just wanted to help? I got word of your mission from a reliable source and I thought I'd lend a hand..."[/color] John said as he looked back to the dead teammate before looking back to the cloaked girl. [color=00aeef]"considering you're now missing two..."[/color] He said somewhat grimly, the girl winced slightly. [color=pink]"I'd be a little hard pressed to believe you... but... you seem honest... don't make me regret this, because if you do I'll make sure you regret it more!"[/color] The girl exclaimed in what she would call a tough tone. [i][color=crimson]'ough... that was so bad...'[/color] [color=pink]'shut up! I'm doing me best here!'[/color] [color=crimson]'still bad~'[/color][/i] John chuckled lightly as he smiled under his helmet. [color=00aeef]"I promise I wont make you regret it"[/color] Once again The girl calmed down, though she was still a little untrusting towards John, which was a little obvious with the look she was giving him. [color=00aeef]"well, I should probably see the captain of this ship, let them know I'm here to help"[/color] John said in a relaxed tone as he looked down the halls before looking to the cloaked girl. [color=00aeef]"you wouldn't happen to know where they are do you?"[/color] [color=pink]"oh, yeah she's in the... the um... um.."[/color] [i][color=crimson]'the bridge...'[/color][/i] [color=00aeef]"the bridge?"[/color] [color=pink]"The Bridge! yes! that's what I was going to say... eh-heh-heh...hehe..."[/color] The girl said with a smile as she chuckled sheepishly before she calmed down. She let out a small sigh before she began walking down the hall they were in with a small smile. John followed her shortly after, and was slightly surprised when he heard a low rumble coming from the girl in front of him. [color=pink]"uh... c-could we get stop to get something to eat first? I'm kind of starving..."[/color] [i][color=crimson]'pff.... if it wasn't for the fact I didn't trust the guy behind us, I would be laughing right about now... heh-heh-heh-heh....'[/color][/i] The girl said in an embarrassed tone as she looked to John, who smiled under his helmet and nodded to her. [color=00aeef]"sure, I could go for something to eat right about now, we'll find the captain after"[/color] [color=pink]"great!"[/color] She said cheerfully as she proceeded to lead John on the search for food. [color=pink]"oh... I guess I forgot to mention it earlier, my name's Majin Eve"[/color] [color=00aeef]"it's nice to meet you Eve"[/color] John replied in a friendly tone as he followed Eve down the halls of the ship.
