An Old Evil returns

[NPC]

In a hidden base in the heart of the Alaskan tundra, a dark figured grinned as he waited for the arrival of his new lackey. It had been hard to find Mavericks that were still active, since Neo Arcadia doubled the Maverick Hunter efforts, but nevertheless, he was glad to have someone accept his offer or power.

Neo Arcadia...the civilization of abomination. Humans could never live in a utopia, even if it is driven by reploids. Humans will always fight each other and destroy everything around them...

The figured waited, trusting that the Maverick could follow the directions given to him to this location.

[Sabata]

A lone reploid walks threw the snow. He had Medium length silver hair. His eyes were red, he had black armor and a sword at his side. The maverick's name was rogue, a maverick that had defected from Neo Arcadia.

[NPC]

In the distance, fighting could be heard as Hi-Max and Dyne fought not too far from where Rogue walked. Rogue was close to the hidden base, but the fight seemed more urgent than the base itself at the moment.

OOC: Sorry. You didn't give me much to work with in your post.

[Sabata]

Rogue walks over to watch the fight. "I wonder which one's the maverick and which ones the hunter? Or Maybe they're both mavericks." Rogue says before continuing. He then turns back around and decides to try and test his power. He draws his sword and jumps into the fray.

[NPC]

Dyne and Hi-Max continued to fight as Rogue entered. Dyne had been using his double sided saber and Hi-Max had been using his energy blast in the struggle. Dyne was barely managing to hold out, communicating back to the Hunter HQ that Mavericks had been spotted in the suspected location. Seeing Rogue enter disheartened the Hunter.

Dyne jumped back away from Hi-Max. His breathe was heavy and his armor was dent in several places. Dyne could barely put a scratch on Hi-Max...fighting 2 enemies wasn't looking so great. "...You haven't won, Hi-Max..." he said. Immediately, Dyne was teleported back to the Hunter Base, no doubt recruiting back-up.

Hi-Max looked back at Rogue, assuming his new friend was on his side since Dyne retreated. Despite this assumption, Hi-Max just walked past Rogue, heading over toward the hidden base. As he walked past, he reported back to his Leader, mumbling several remarks.

[Sabata]

"So much for gratitude." Rogue says. He follows hi-max into the base. He was still reday for attack if any other "hitches" occured.

[NPC]

Hi-Max continues to walk, communicating to his leader. He made sure he was out of earshot from Rogue. "Sir, a reploid has shown up. Appears to be a Maverick, but that is still debatable. Enemy target has retreated as well."

The staticy transmission began to clear as Hi-Max approached the base. "...Yes...very good. I've been expecting him. Allow him to follow you into the base. We must prepare for the undoubted Hunter attack."

"Understood"

Hi-Max approached a rather large glacier and placed his hand on the icy mountain. A red glow appeared around his hand, revealing a secret entrance. Hi-Max turned to Rogue. "Welcome," he said. "We have been expecting you. Follow this passageway until you reach the end. My Master will meet with you about joining our ranks."

[Sabata]

Rogue merely nods and walks into the base. He walks to the end and stares at his employer.

[NPC]

Rogue had entered a rather large room. From the machinery in the place, one could tell that the room had been used as a research facility. Now, most of the computers and equipment were covered in ice. The room was dark, lit only by the lighting of a few moniters. In front of Rogue was a rather large chamber. Inside, one could see that a reploid was being repaired inside.

Oddly enough, it was the one who called Rogue.

"...Yes..." the reploid said in a very scratchy voice. "I'm glad you've come...and just in time...Hunters will be approaching the base soon...you and Hi-Max must defend this place at all costs...I am not yet ready..."

[Sabata]

Rogue silently nods and draws his sword and gets his daggers at the ready. "Time for pay back." Rogue says.

[NPC]

Hi-Max approached Rogue from the entrance of the area. Several Cyber Elves were floating around him, each a different color. The reploid looked at his new companion. "...Here are the Elves that were promised. Use them wisely. We'll need them against the Hunters."

Hi-Max walked back out of the entrance into the snowy area. There was no doubt that Hunters would approach soon with more advanced tracking technology. They would no doubt find this place. Hi-Max prepared himself behind a snowy hill. He would use his white armor to his advantage. Rogue could do how he pleased. It didn't matter to Hi-Max.

ROGUE: OBTAINED 3 NURSE ELVES 2 ANIMAL ELVES AND 1 HACKER ELF

[Sabata]

Rogue carves out a small but stable nook in another hill. His sword was ready, his daggers were ready, and he was ready to strike down any hunter that got in his way. He would have his revenge.....especially on X.

[NPC]

A small group of Maverick Hunters made their way closer and closer to where Rogue and Hi-Max were hiding. There were about 20 Hunters, 1 of them carrying rather large equipment obviously used for tracking. 15 of the 20 were standard Hunters (all stats 2) wielding normal busters while 4 were much more advanced (all stats 3) carrying advanced busters. It was obvious who was the leader, since he was the only one with a beam saber and blue armor.

They approached within range of both Hi-Max and Rogue.

[Sabata]

Rogue takes deep breath and gets his sword at the ready. He hears the approaching steps his mind races. "Find the leader and kill him...." Rogue says to himself.

[NPC]

Out of what appeared to be nowhere, Hi-Max fired off several blasts at the group, taking out 2 standard soldiers. He rushed at the group and aimed for the leader. The shots from the surrounding busters bounced off of his armor, ricocheting in random directions. He fired several point blank shots, hoping to distract the Hunters long enough for Rogue to sneak in and take out their leader.
