Zil and the others he brought with him from the communications department room were exhausted. They staggered to the entrance of a secretly rebel supporter-owned inn in a town deep within Helmshire. It was the meeting place. When he opened the door, he found most of everyone there. His companions were quickly attended to as some were close to collapsing. Zil really wanted a bath at this point after crawling in mud and sweating and all that.
Fanny ran over and hugged Zil as soon as they had arrived, not caring about him being dirty.
Zil patted Fanny on the head and said in an unusually serious voice, "Report"
Fanny pulled away and stood straight saying, "The estimated losses for the combat-ready troops is about eighteen to twenty but only those who didn't follow orders lost their lives. Everyone else is a bit shaken by the incident but apparently unharmed. Also... We lost the car with the children" she said most solemnly.
Zil put a hand to his face. "You what?!" He said quite loudly, obviously irritated.
"I'm sorry..." She just said, knowing Zil expected her to be the sheepdog of this operation.
Zil just replied immediately, "Don't apologize. It most likely wasn't your fault. Now tell me how this all happened later. I'm going to take a bath" He had to clear his mind now and it seemed plenty of his apparently illegal secret plans had to be revealed now. The rebel base was a part of Helmshirish land granted by the king to them and it was the only piece of land they were legally allowed to own but the truth was that Zil long ago breached that, secretly building smaller bases elsewhere but because of that promise, those bases couldn't seem to be occupied or else the rebels would be in trouble.
Monica was just getting back from today's training. The 'slobs' that were in the military were growing more and more tolerable as they were dealt with harshly. Even the most troublesome 'macho' men couldn't stand the punishments being dished out by the secret police chief.
((OOC: Snuggs, Rafie and everyone else in the communications room got out through an unpaved, muddy underground passage.
@Lolly: I thought you planned on making the twins tell Shadow about the machines' weaknesses or something? ))

@Lolly: I thought you planned on making the twins tell Shadow about the machines' weaknesses or something? )) ((At first, yes... but then I thought of a better idea. Aya, prepare to love me! xd )) Shadow returned to the borders of the base after a long day of meeting people she hadn't seen in a while. She left her bike at the body shop and trekked back on foot to help get back into shape. Her new appearance shocked her contacts in ways she didn't even want to think about. It was then that she spotted several Diethelm soldiers in the distance. "The f***..." She muttered under her breath, and started heading towards the border. "What the hell happened here..." She whispered to herself when she came in contact with one of the machines and a group of a few soldiers chatting. "What the hell is that..." She muttered. "Don't tell me... those twins designed something like that? Damn... I'm out of gas grenades... I guess I'll have to do this the old fashioned way." She told herself, pulling out her two guns. She took a deep breath, rushing the guards with the element of surprise. Before they even picked up their guns, she capped two of them and shot a third in the shoulder. The last two picked up guns, but Shadow shot them in the gut before they pulled the trigger. "Sorry guys, but I'm taking this toy. It's a bit too much for you anyway." She said, running to the machine and getting in it. "S***!! You b****!!" A soldier yelled. A different one grabbed his communicator while clutching his wound. "Sir! We've just been ambushed. Young woman, blond, pink streaks and a punk jacket." The soldier stuttered. "She has the machine! I repeat, she's in the machine!" The colonel took the news with alarm and tried to assemble the troops again. He then broadcast his orders to all of the soldiers. "All machine pilots, take AI-82 down! Malign pilot! I repeat, Malign pilot in AI-82. Take um down now!" "Aww~" Shadow replied. "Well that's not very nice." "The f***? A kid?" The colonel asked. "No. I'm your worst nightmare." She giggled flirtatiously as she fired up the machine and took off. "Now lets see... this one is the tracker... so if I turn this off..." She muttered then giggled. "Wow! Wait until all my friends get a hold of this!" "You- you b****! That's military equipment." the colonel replied helplessly. "Oh really? Well, it's mine now!" She laughed, then switched off the machine communicator and the tracking device. She then charged the machine forward, knocking down trees with great speed as she approached the border. "This thing... this thing is amazing." Shadow said, feeling a rush under her gut as she road it. She then pulled out her communicator and called Zil. "Zil! Zil! Where the f*** are you?" She asked playfully. "You'll never believe what I just stole!"

Zil covered his junk by wrapping a towel on his lower body and turned off the shower, quickly taking his communicator as he walked into the small bedroom, reserved for him. He sighed, breathing heavily and replying in a serious and somewhat sarcastic voice, "A missile?" He then continued in monotone, "I do hope you did not stretch your limits to steal whatever. As I said, you won't be battle-ready until next month. If you did, well, I'm sure you'll be feeling the painful effects in a while"

((OOC: @Lolly: ... When? I still don't love you~ )) (( cry I tried Aya! I really did. )) "Well sorry! I didn't exactly come home to tea and crumpets you know!" Shadow snapped. "Woah!" She said, seeing a different machine suddenly appear at her side. "Damn! Rahhh!" She yelled, firing one of the cannons at the enemy machine's side and blowing it to pieces. "Sweet! Ha ha! I love this thing!" Shadow smiled. "Anyway, what base did you run away to. I'll head there once as I shake these guys, though you'll probably have a hard time trying to hide this thing. It kind of stands out a bit." Shadow giggled as she passed through the border. The damaged machine who was still at the border began to charge at her and fire the gun, and Shadow barely dodged. "A-another one? What happened to that one. Oh well. Fire away!" She yelled, blowing the second one up. "Looks like I got another one my tail..." She muttered, quickly turning and firing a blind shot behind her, which missed. "Damn..." She muttered, pressing the firing button over and over as the last machine charged at her. "S***! Don't tell me I'm out! No! NO!! NO!! If there is a God, help!" She yelled, when suddenly another round fired at the machine's front blowing it away. "It... ha... ha ha ha! I'm alright!" She laughed shakily and feeling some disbelief. "I think that was the last one Zil. I don't see any more following. W-wow. That one scared me."

Zil sighed, saying the coordinates of the place as he normally did, "55 43 75 Varleigh inn" He then asked with much curiosity, "What have you got there?" Although not much would probably get his hopes up again after losing the most crucial territory the rebels had. He was going to have a problem with Helmshire now, so it seems.

"I got one of the twin's machines working in perfect order. Well... except for maybe the gun. You can get your engineers to open it up and make a blueprint to send to the king, and maybe some foreign countries. If Helmshire wants to win, they'll have to start pumping these babies out as fast as Diethelm is, or we'll at least have to find a week point. Anyway, it seems to have the cutting edge technology installed as well. Communications to the main hq... tracking devices... and whatever the hell this is. It should give our systems a good update on their technology as well as some ideas." Shadow said. "I'm heading over. Just tell your people not to panic, ok. Also, tell the twins I said hi."

Zil was not at all too gleeful about what Shadow said. In fact, the very mention of the twins somehow hurt his eardrums. His sadism towards Diethelm was awakened. The next time he saw those two, he would not hesitate to kill them. After all, the goal was first to get the twins to choke up some designs and now they were stuck with the leftover. "The twins were taken when the soldiers took the base. Most of them got blown up though" He said still in a serious tone. There was no telling if he would go back to being cheerful and happy once more. He was also like this when his siblings died and was only taken out of this state because the first rebel leader comforted him and got his spirits up although it did take a while.

"You... you've got to be kidding me..." Shadow replied. "Damn it!... ... ... Look, I'll be right over there. We need to plan our next move quickly before they start mass producing new designs." Shadow said, stepping on the gas and trying to make it there as fast as she could. At long last, Shadow finally arrived and parked the machine outside of the base. A few of the rebels went to grab their guns, but Shadow sent them a signal and they stood down. Shadow got out the back and tightened her gloves. "Hide that thing, would ya. And be careful about it." She told one of the rebels. The rebel nodded and Shadow ran inside to look for Zil. "I'm back. Where are you?" She asked over the communicator.

"Room 301. Third floor. I was just taking a bath. Were you careful on not garnering unwanted attention?" Zil said, knowing that even if they weren't staying long, the mass group in an unprotected place spelled as a death trap if it weren't so deep into Helmshire. He started dressing in new clothes provided for him - a plain dress shirt, trousers and one of his beloved tailor-made black jackets with red trimmings, saved and kept inside Fanny's backpack. He didn't care to tuck in.

"Alright then." Shadow replied. "And I had one of your buddies hide it in that encampment to the left, though I'm not sure how you can hide a thing like that." Shadow replied. "Anyway, I'm coming in." She said as she reached the top of the stairs and gave a quick knock before just walking into the room while Zil was only halfway dressed. "Hi..." She dully, looking away and blushing slightly when she saw his bare back as he put on dress shirt.

"Welcome home" Zil sighed, buttoning the shirt up and turning to face Shadow. It was the greeting often used by rebels on-base when other members returned unharmed after particularly important or life-threatening missions. They had their own custom and traditions. As he put on his jacket, he became aware that Shadow probably had a view of his lean and slightly muscular frame. "You seemed rather excited. Careful now. In this state, you're still highly prone to cramming, leg strain and sprains. Don't push yourself" He was speaking in a particularly paternal tone now - a tone first used often as the sole guardian of his siblings when both their parents died.

((OOC: I'm up early as well... This must be fate calling on us to RP more XP )) ((I know, right? Actually, sometimes I think that Eternal and my schedule started to sync up after we started RPing together for a few months. xd )) "Well, yeah. I stole one of their cutting edge life destroyers and almost got killed by a different one." She replied, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "And you know, if you told me you were changing, I wouldn't have minded giving you a minute. Anyway, I'm fine. I can take care of myself."
