Sam/Shula Shadow Run (Part 3)

[15:06]	Figure_Of_light	then plunges into the coffin from above.
[15:06]	Arkalest	The light extinguishes....
[15:07]	Arkalest	And in the silence- In the lack of breathing from Johanna and the Deep One, in the almost sacred vastness of the cathedral-like space....
[15:07]	Figure_Of_light	inhales.
[15:07]	Arkalest	And
[15:07]	=-=	Figure_Of_light is now known as ADAM
[15:07]	ADAM	exhales.
[15:08]	Sam	drops the smg, letting it dangle by the carry straps. He steps back
[15:08]	Arkalest	His breath is like an atomic thunderclap- Filling your entire body as the coiffin simply...Stops existing, replaced by golden light.
[15:09]	ADAM	turns to face Shula and Sam
[15:09]	Sam	"He's overpowering the pillars." Sam whispers softly in awe.
[15:10]	Arkalest	His body does not have the divine sheen of a frozen supernova, but he nevertheless hurts to look at....
[15:10]	Shula	looks at him , and. kneels still looking at him.
[15:10]	Arkalest	Adam's battered, wounded. One arm's missing, and his torso is pockmarked with devices and cables.
[15:11]	Arkalest	One hand capable of shattering world raises- And in the light of a new sun you can see a tiny figure on top of it.
[15:11]	ADAM	"Thank you."
[15:11]	Sam	remains standing, defiantly gazing upon ADAM's form. No Gods. No Kings. Only Men.
[15:11]	ADAM	"For everything."
[15:12]	Arkalest	He sounds like the warmth on your skin during a pleasant summer, the wind creaking through fields of corn, like molten magma pouring out of a volcano.
[15:12]	ADAM	lowers his head.
[15:12]	ADAM	"No Gods. "
[15:13]	Arkalest	A large portion of the room explodes into Geofrontium shrapnel- Which hovers to the giant's side, reassembling into an arm.
[15:13]	ADAM	"No Kings."
[15:14]	Arkalest	Two wings of light sprout from his back.
[15:14]	ADAM	"Only humanity..."
[15:14]	Arkalest	And, despite the lack of facial features, despite the fact that He is the closest thing to a living, breathing God that there is...
[15:15]	Sam	nods. Quietly echoing His words.
[15:15]	Arkalest	In the picosinstant before the Dirac sphere envelopes you...Before iyou are snatched away from the chamber...
[15:15]	Arkalest	You are almost sure that in the brief moment, when the world went still....
[15:15]	ADAM	smiled.
[15:15]	Arkalest	And then the world goes black.
[15:15]	|<--	ADAM has left irc.systemnet.info (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[15:16]	Arkalest	Shula: Sam You hit the water at one meter of height- Kilometers behind you, the oceanographic platform is shaking.
[15:17]	Shula	Wah!"
[15:17]	Arkalest	And the sea's turned orange- Because the whole seafloor for kilometers around Xibalba has lighted up, thousands of intricate runes and patterns appearing...
[15:17]	Sam	checks to make sure the other two are with them. Under his breathe he is praying fervently.
[15:18]	Arkalest	Johanna and the Deep One are already swimming away- Towards Hydra, who is already surfacing.
[15:18]	Sam	float, observing the platform for a moment. "Shula, let's get going."
[15:19]	Shula	is turning and then she closes her eyes and whispers a prayer for the dead.
[15:19]	Arkalest	Sam: Shula You feel both as you are being actively pushed away by the current. You catch into Hydra's back scales as she turns around.
[15:19]	Sam	"That which is dead may yet lie, for even in strange eons death may die."
[15:20]	Arkalest	| ....................................  shit SHIT SHIT SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA|
[15:21]	Arkalest	That's when Hydra turns /towards/ the platform, moving so fast she nearly throws you away.
[15:21]	Arkalest	When you look back, you realize something.
[15:21]	Arkalest	You are not in the ocean.
[15:22]	Arkalest	You actually are on a horizontal waterfall that is sliding off  something.
[15:22]	Sam	screams.
[15:22]	Arkalest	-----------
[15:22]	Arkalest	Shula: Sam You both come to on a desert, wrecked beach.
[15:22]	Shula	"AHHHH"
[15:23]	Arkalest	You can see Hydra in the distance, bathing.....It's early morning. Johanna's curled up nearby. The Deep One is busy trying to get her armor off.
[15:23]	Arkalest	The Bioweapon canister is there, intact...
[15:24]	Arkalest	Shula: Sam But you can feel someone watching you.
[15:24]	Sam	stores it in the carrying case.
[15:24]	Sam	and raises his SMG, looking around
[15:24]	Shula	shivers and slowly stands up
[15:24]	Arkalest	There is a large stealth distortion behind you, nearly if not more than two meter tall.
[15:25]	Arkalest	It drops something.
[15:25]	Arkalest	A letter.
[15:26]	Shula	"Wha.."
[15:27]	Arkalest	And then it disappears in a flash of purple AT Fields
[15:27]	Sam	carefully approached the letter, gun stil pointed at the blur. He picks it up and shows it to Shula
[15:27]	Arkalest	Sam:
[15:27]	Arkalest	"To: Gregor Zollmayer."
[15:27]	Arkalest	"From: Longinus Zollmayer."
[15:27]	Arkalest	"Grandson. Your friends have done something bad."
[15:27]	Arkalest	"We need to talk."
[15:27]	Arkalest	That's what's written on the enevelope.
[15:28]	Arkalest	Taped to it, a pair of keys.
[15:28]	Sam	"Oh. . . . fuck." Sam stores the letter and keys in the carrying case as well. It's not his to read
[15:28]	Arkalest	Sam: Shula Up in the underbush, not far from the beach there is a shoddy van, painted a bright purple.
[15:28]	Sam	"Of course it's purple."
[15:28]	Shula	"That is .. .uh..."
[15:28]	Arkalest	Someone has spraypainted an orange dickbutt on it.l
[15:28]	Sam	sighs
[15:29]	Sam	"I don't suppose we can walk?"
[15:29]	Arkalest	Johanna casually gets up. "Fuck no."
