A Black ship with red markings was now crusing from Russia across the Pacific Ocean in the night sky. The dataDyne logo as well as the red eagle insignia meant the ship belonged to dataDyne Supersoldier/CEO Golden Magnum. He had just finished some buiness with Russia that involved preventing data from leaving Earth with King Platinum Dragon and the theft being pinned on the PDBA. Although Platinum and some of his clones escaped into space, Golden Magnum disabled the virus that would cause the theft and sabotaged the base. Although the brothers of Fire and Ice, Inferno and Snowstorm, weren't able to escape into space, they managed to ellude Golden Magnum and are now being pursued across Russia by Spetznaz Troops.
At that moment, his onboard computer notifed him that a new arena would be starting. He snapped out of watching the Pacific Ocean flow under the stars and checked where it would be located. After noticing it was at the Alaskan Crash site of the Air Force One, he said "Dammit, when the hell can I get out of the cold climate." Since his approached the base from the small Siberian town at Nordvik, he was still wearing his stealth outfit, which was not the warmest thing. Although his kevlar vest provided a little bit of warmth, he still would feel the frigid cold of the Siberian wilderness.
Either way, he still redirected his ships autopilot from Lucerne Tower to the Crash Site. Once he had arrived, he parked the ship on the ridge. From the weapons compartments on the ship, he took out his Super Dragon, loaded it up, and slung it over his back. Then he place two full clips into his MagSec 4s and placed the pistols into his leg holsters. Then he grabbed three N-Bombs and remote mines and attached them to his belt. Lastly, he grabbed his left-handed DY-357 LX and loaded it up and put it in a special holster on his belt. Then he programmed so it would fly over the Air Force One, give him a chance to rope down and fly back to the ridge. Once he reached the Air Force One, he opened the cockpit, roped down and detached himself from the rope. Afterwards, the nightEagle flew away towards the ridge. Once he detached, he immediately drew his LX and scouted the wilderness.

“Hey…Draxas!” Jackson yelled. Him and Raven ran through the snowy wilderness towards the quasi-human cyborg, hands in the air without weapons to show they didn’t want a fight. Draxas had his gun ready, but put it down when he saw he had no harm coming to him.
“Oh…hi Raven…Jackson,” Draxas said, nodding to the both of them. “What do you want?”
“Well, I actually had a question for you. See, Jackson and I have formed an alliance, and we were wondering if you wanted to join us. You don’t have to, but I think I speak for both of us that we hope you do,” Raven said.
“I see…,” Draxas said, pondering the question carefully. Finally, he said, “Tell you what: you and I will fight. Jackson can watch. If you win, I’ll join you guys. Deal?” Draxas stuck out his human hand in an attempt to shake with Raven. Raven accepted it, and the two of them walked about 100 feet apart.
Above on a cliff, a lone figure respawned. “F***! That b*****d killed me! I’ll get that son of a b**** if it’s the last thing I do!”
“Calm down, Ranger. Remember your blood pressure?” a figure said from behind Ranger. It was short and did not appear human. As he approached Ranger, Ranger smiled at his ally. “Magnum, glad to see you. Sorry, I’ve got a vendetta with Raven down there. He shot me in the face.”
“Not a problem…he’s completely vulnerable right now. Let’s jump down and get him,” Magnum replied.
“Good idea. Let’s go.”
Meanwhile, down below, Jackson, Raven, and Draxas stood, ready for their duel, completely oblivious to the assassins above...

OOC: meh not what I had in mind. I am going to change the respawn. Ranger and GM just used the RTracker and found you so they spied from a cliff nearby.
IC:Ranger respawned and looked around. He was by Elvis' ship and a little bewildered. He had been fighting with Draxas his ship and his RTracker hadn't beeped a warning but Raven had managed to get behind him and shoot him in the face. Ranger looked around he was going to have to fix this and do it in peace. He began to run toward the tree bridge that led to the crashed AF1. He looked through the misty white of the arena and saw a figure in the distance. He turned on his IR and pulled a Falcon 2 from its holster. He leveled it at the oncoming person when he realized who it was.
"Magnum! Hey man long time no see. How are things with Platinum and his posse?" "Not so good I was wondering why you weren't on the radar get killed..." "Yea, one of the newcomers, Raven, got me while I was fighting with another of the PDBA. Hey can you watch out for people while I fix my RTracker quickly." "Sure."
Ranger took off his helmet in the arena for the first time in a long time. his long brown hair tumbled out and ran down his back. A scar shone brightly over his left eye. Playing with that sword as a child hadn't payed off. He had a deep set of jade green eyes almost the same color of his visor. He looked inside the helmet at the components and took off a panel. He spotted the problem and fixed it. Donning his helmet again he turned it on. It worked again and he saw where Draxas, Raven and Jackson were all gathered.
"K, Thanks Magnum let's go and get those three I need to take out Raven and Jackson with your help, but after that I am gonna finish a duel with Draxas. I was fighting him when Raven so rudely interrupted."
With that said Ranger and Magnum raced off to a nearby cliff and watched as the fight began the were firing on each other and having a nice fight. He knew this was a most opportune time. He pulled out his K7 Avenger and leaped from the cliff without hesitation. he braced to roll and landed hard. Rolling forward he leveled the barrel of the Avenger at Raven. He sat there with a shocked look on his face right before the bullets shredded his torso. Draxas suprised by the recent intrusion also watched in shock as Raven was blown away.
"Interupt my duel I will interupt yours"
Magnum now jumped over the edge and pulled out his LX he shot one bullet right at Jackson. It hit him in the jugular and he went down as well. Ranger looked in pleasure at the new scenery of blood.
"Thank you Magnum. Why don't you go look out for the N-Bombs they are around here somewhere. Call me if you find them." "Ok. Later and good luck." "Now for you Draxas..." "Why did you kill them I was fighting to test their strength. You shouldn't just interupt." "You know I really don't feel like hearing that. HE INTERRUPTED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE. Let us finish what we started."
Ranger pulled out a falcon 2 and ran for cover. Draxas took some cover to and the began to shoot up a real gunfight.

Jackson respawned not to far away.
"Oh, Magnum's got it coming." Jackson thought. He so wanted to use his P90 but that would disqualify him. So he took out his DY357's, loaded them and headed toward Draxas. He walked up silently and shot Magnum 3 times twice in the leg and once in the chest. "Ranger!!!" Jackson then fired two shots toward Ranger both hitting him in his leg. Jackson leveled the barrel of his DY357 but before he could fire Ranger slumped down and dissappeared. "Nice shot Draxas, now we wait for Raven, so you can finish your deul."

Raven spawned near Air Force One.
"Wow, that was cool," Raven said as the tingling of the spawning wore off. It was Raven's first death in an arena, so he was just feeling the effects. His chest felt numb and sore, but as he felt it there seemed to be no damage to his body. Raven checked his body and found none of his weapons or ammo had been lost in his death. "Good, I don't have anything missing," Raven said to himself. He started to walk around the plane when he saw N3B sitting on the ground. He was oblivious to Raven's existance. Not wanting to have another person after him, Raven took out his laser and cut a hole in AF1, then walked through and cut yet another hole on his way out. N3B hadn't seemed to have noticed.
Raven rubbed his gloved hands together and put them to his mouth in order to get warmth. "I should have bought a ski mask," Raven trembled through the cold. He continued walking. "I wonder how far away I am from Draxas and Ranger," he said to himself.
Just then Raven spotted an aircraft with the words "Merlin Blade" written accross the side. "Hmm, the new guy. Maybe it's warm in there," Raven said, and approached the aircraft. He knocked on the door, and to Raven's suprise, the winged man to answer was not Merlin, but instead Razor. "What are you doing here?" Raven asked.
"Merlin invited me for some hot chocolate," Razor muttered. He was obviously upset about this. In a much more hushed voice, Razor said, "Personally, I'd like to kill him, but it's so f***ing cold out there that I couldn't resist the opportunity of a warm beverage." Raven laughed. "Here, take a cup," and with that, handed a thermos to Raven. "Don't consider that a hand-out though, you'll be paying for that with your life later." Razor smiled through his helmet and closed the door.
Raven continued onward, much more happy now that he had something warm to drink. He reached up to his glasses and turned on his X-Ray Vision. Looking around, he saw a human skeleton with metallic parts spread throughout. "There he is..." Raven said, and walked towards the direction of Draxas.

OOC: Ok, i didn't notice Jackson's last post, so we're just going to pretend that Ranger respawned and got back to the area.
IC:Just over the hill, The Taipan settled on the ground, sending a puff of powedered snow into the air. A loud hinge revved up, and out stepped Snake into the frigid wastelands. Grabbing his Laptop from off the floor, N3B trudged through the knee-deep snow over to the ship in the distance.
Snake walked over the hill, his arms clapsed together and his teeth chattering.
"Long time no see, eh?" N3B said, clearing the top of the hill and meeting Snake at the summit.
"Yup, been a while since we've been able to kick some arse in a regular arena" Snake replied, grabbing a cyclone from his weaponry and loading it.
"Well, there's been alot of gunfire over there, i'm pretty sure there's a big mass of people over that mountain. As for everyone else, i haven't a clue." N3B brushed the settling snow off his shoulders, and threw his head around shaking the snow from his helmet.
"Yeah," Snake continued. "I'd perfer not to get involved with that big group over there. Makes things way too hectic."
"Yeah, i agree," N3B said. "Important stuff is going on over there, i don't want to interrupt their... bloodspill. lets go see if there's anyone else we can kill."
Together, the two set off along the snowy lands, walking over debris from the fallen Air Force One. They came to a valley, which they mutually agreed to enter. Following the path, they came to a set of cliffs, connected by a fallen tree. they headed across that being careful not to fall, and landed on the slightly wooded snow.
In the distance, they could see Elvis' downed saucer, the lights finally malfunctioning and sending sparks into the air. They trudged past several rock forms and entered a cave. wandering about inside, they came to an opening and heard massive gunfire.
Perring outside, N3B could tell there was a massive huddle of bodies off in the distance.
"You know what this means..." N3B started, pulling an N-Bomb off his belt. Snake saw this, and took a grande from his own belt. They exited the cave, and crept along the side of the mountain, and got within throwing distance of the group. Ranger and Draxas were staring each other down, barrels pointed at each other. Draxas fired with his DMC's, the bullets spraying against the mountain above Ranger, who had managed to drop down and slide down the side of the mountain to the base, slamming Draxas in the face with a heavy fist just before being shot in the leg. Ranger dropped to the floor, blood staining the snow, as Draxas recovered his balance, wiping blood from his lip. Jackson stood outside the battle, watching with intent curiosity. He seemed almost pondering the outcome of the battle as he watched.
By this time, Ranger had his Dragon out, and had started firing off into the air in hopes of hitting Draxas, but only managed to lay a few bullets into his shoulder.
Pulling the pin from his N-Bomb, N3B cast it into the center of action, and it expoded in a big black sphere. The two swung around in the air, their heads limp, and their bodies giving out. Jackson was barely affected by the N-Bomb, as he was outside the main combat area. As they started to drop, Snake lobbed his grande into the center, and it exploded in bright red and orange, throwing their bodies at least 50 feet apart, Ranger landing ontop of Jackson, knocking him to the ground.
"well, they're not dead, but their still mangled and dazed."
"lets leave before they figure out we showed up."
Again, they set off over the hills, and found shelter in a random cave, and called for Niff.

Jackson dazed from the impact of Ranger stood up. "Ow, that hurt." he said, Ranger muttered something under his breath and Draxas who had recevied most of the force of the explosion stood up. Jackson ran to find Raven who was not to far away. "Raven, Ranger and Draxas were fighting and someone threw a N-bomb then a grenade at us, I suspect N3B and some of his team." They ran back to Draxas and awaited Raven and him to finish the duel.

Snake: "So, Is Niff coming?"
N3B: "Should be."
Snake: (laughing) "Man, we really f**ked up their day, hey, look, It's the MerlinBlade"
They looked over a rocky, snow covered, lump to see a ship.
Snake: "Watch this"
Snake pulled out his Cyclone, took careful aim and started peppering the ship with bullets, they slammed into the ship and two figures started returning fire. N3B popped up and fired upon the two while Snake reloaded and N3 recodnised the two, it was Razor and Raven. Snake heard their conversation as they took cover.
Raven: "It's N3B and Snake the little B*****ds"
Razor: "Open fire!"
There was more gunfire, Snake popped up again and fired again, he caught Razor in the chest.
Snake: "C'mon, better tell Niff to meet us somewhere else cos' we gotta get the h**l outta here!"

Draxas was standing, but it was only by a monumental force of will.
"If it isn't one thing, it's another around here!" he said to Jackson, who nodded in response.
Draxas checked himself over, and found that while his injuries hurt A LOT right now, they were not particularly serious. He sighed, and marvelled internally about the lack of honor being exhibited in this arena. First Ranger, with his clever but ultimately futile trap, and now N3B, interrupting a one-on-one duel.
A groan from the snow let Draxas know that Ranger, like him, was injured, but still very much alive. He looked over at Ranger, wondering how to handle this opportunity. On the one hand, he fights with no honor, and uses whatever means he desires to meet his ends, he thought. On the other hand, our duel was interrupted by an outside party, and it would not be honorable to slay an incapacitated opponent. However, and at this thought Draxas broke into an evil looking grin, honorable combat need only be applied to honorable opponents.
With that, Draxas drew one of his Falcon 2s, and placed a 9mm hole between Ranger's eyes.
Draxas turned back to Raven and Dr. Jackson, both of whom seemed only mildly surprised at Ranger's slaying. "He will not trouble us any longer. Now, Raven, let us continue our duel. Ready your weapon!"
Raven drew his Falcon 2s, and Draxas removed his second Falcon 2 from his belt. They returned to their previous starting positions, approximately 100 feet apart.
"Are you ready?" shouted Raven.
"I am ready! Dr. Jackson, we will begin this duel on your signal."
Dr. Jackson nodded, and raised his hand in the air. He swept it down, and shouted "BEGIN!"
Raven immediately began to fire in Draxas's direction, as Draxas dove for the cover of a nearby rock formation, snap-firing several rounds at Raven as he moved. When the noise of the gunfire died down, he glanced around the side of his cover, to see Raven crouched behind a fallen tree less than 50 feet away.
He is fast, but not accurate, Draxas thought. He reloaded one of his Falcon 2s, and returned the other to its holster. In its place, he drew a combat knife, and readied himself for the next exchange of fire. He hastily dashed to a fallen boulder 10 feet ahead of him, again snap-firing near Raven's position to keep him behind his cover. Draxas ducked behind the large rock just as several shards of it were scattered by Raven's return fire. Again Draxas glanced from behind his cover, noticing Raven had moved as well, and was a mere 15 feet away, behind a similar rock formation.
Moving quickly, Draxas fired off 3 more rounds as he charged at Raven's position. Just as Raven rose from behind the rocks to return fire again, Draxas leapt at him, causing them both to fall in a heap in the snow. Raven attempted to regain his footing and scramble away, but a pistol whip to the back of his knees, brought him crashing to the ground once more. Draxas scambled toward him, knocking away one of Raven's Falcon 2s with the butt of his knife, and pinned his other wrist with his knee. Draxas pointed his Falcon 2 at Raven's forehead and growled "Submit!"
A swift kick to the side of Draxas's head told him that he had underestimated Raven's close combat skill. Draxas was sent reeling, and lost his grip on his pistol. Both combatants scrambled to their feet, Draxas still gripping his combat knife in his bionic hand, and Raven still holding one of his Falcon 2s, though he was massaging his wrist with the other hand. The two glared at each other, both trying to predict the other's next move.
"Hold," said Draxas, and lowered his weapon. Raven did the same, though warily.
"It is obvious to me that you fight exceptionally well, and I would expect nothing less from both an Institute agent and member of the CISOD. I suggest we call this duel a draw. I will aid you for a time, specifically to get our revenge on those who would stop us from testing each other's skill. When this task is done, we will each consider what our next step will be. Fight as well as you just fought here, and I may consider teaming up with you permanently. Deal?" Draxas extended his hand toward Raven, and Raven clasped it to complete the alliance.
"Deal," Raven said, "Now let's pay a visit to the N-Bombs, and show them what kind of payback toying with others will get them!"
N3B (OOC): Fixed a typo. you said "ranger drew his falcon 2's" after you had just killed him. fixed it to say "raven"

Jackson, Raven, and Draxas continued onward, towards the direction they saw N3B and Snakelord from. Jackson, meanwhile, had taken out his medipack and was checking to make sure Raven and Draxas were okay.
"I'm fine, Jackson, no problems here. You may want to check Raven though, I kneeled on his wrist pretty hard," Draxas said, pointing out the fact that Raven was still holding his wrist. Jackson used the medipack on Raven and, 10 seconds later, it felt better. Raven winced at Jackson. "Thanks."
They continued onward until they came across a small cave. "Let's check inside," Raven said. "Be careful, though, someone could come out at any time." Raven took out his Laptop Gun, Draxas took out a DMC, and Jackson a DY357 Magnum. They carefully walked inside.
There were holes in the ceiling, so the cave wasn't too dark. The three of them looked around worried, waiting for any strike. Suddenly a loud "THUMP" was heard, and Jackson fell to the ground, knocked out, but not dead. Snake smiled at his achievement, and quickly took out his Cyclone. N3B came out from behind the three of them with another Cyclone. They were surrounded.
"Draxas, I've got an idea," Raven whispered. Although they wanted to attack, it would mean the death of at least one of them. "Move over in the sunlight, and try and --"
"I know what you're talking about, Raven," Draxas said. He ran towards the sunlight before anyone could react. The reflection off of his body shot towards Snake, hitting him in the eyes and causing him to go momentarily blind. Raven spun around and shot his Laptop Gun, hitting N3B in the hand. He dropped his Cyclone. Raven then shot him in the chest before he could do anything else. N3B slumped down and disappeared.
Raven looked behind him to see how Draxas was doing. He was horrified to see Draxas dead; it appeared Snake had hit him in the side of the head. Snake now held Jackson by the throat and had his Cyclone to Jackson's head. A sick smile was on his face. "If you don't want your friend to meet his demise, I suggest you put away your weapon now."
"Ha! What do I have to be afraid of, you're dead!" Raven said. As Snake looked questioningly, Raven threw his Laptop Gun at the wall. "Get down, Jackson!" Jackson elbowed Snake in the stomach and dropped to the ground. By this time, the Laptop Gun was in place and had aimed itself towards Snake.
"Oh, s***," Snake said, just as the Laptop Gun opened fire. The gun ripped apart his body; he was shot about 10 times before he hit the ground. Snake's body disappeared.
"We lost Draxas, but we'll meet up with him soon enough. Let's go," Raven said. He grabbed his Laptop Gun off the wall and together they left the cave.

OOC: Merlin...don't ask for an alliance, then assume a positive response...if you read the alliance page, you would see that I am already in an alliance of four...I can't have any more.
Razor gripped the cup and looked up at the strange new character. It reminded him of how he was when he first awakened from the stasis pod underneath the Lucerne Tower. Naive, foolish, and careless. He took a sip of the steaming drink, remembering how he burned his tounge last time. He set down the drink and stood up. He turned and started to walk away.
"Wait, where are you going?" called Merlin as he started to stand.
"I'm sorry I can't accept an alliance with you Merlin...but I have others that I am waiting for. Thanks for the cocoa...as thanks I won't kill you. Until we meet again..." With that he jumped off the ground and took flight, looking through the snow for some action. He shivered as the cold wind blew against him, and turned up the climate control in his helmet.

OOC: I seem to be sprouting more and more cybernetics as this battle goes on. Apparently I'm shiny enough to blind people now. Draxas's vision went completely red, then completely black. He was dead. Again. The last thing he remembered was seeing the Cyclone to his temple, and then the familiar sensations began. However, this time they did not continue. There was none of the sickening lurching as he passed through dimensions, no excruciating pain as his wounds mended. In fact, if he looked really close, the darkness was not complete, there appeared to be dimly glowing red text floating in front of his eyes. As he squinted to attempt to read it, he was suddenly blinded by a burst of sunlight. "Argh!" Draxas had to hold his organic eye closed as it adjusted to the light, and even the bright light filters of his bionic eye kicked in, so that all he was able to see was red-hued static. Once the sensation passed, he opened his eyes and tried to get his bearings. He was standing on a narrow bridge of snow and ice, positioned over a deep chasm, so deep that the haze of falling snow obscured the bottom. The path led into narrow caves in either direction. Wait a minute... oh nuts, thought Draxas. The snow had apparently begun to fall while they were inside the cave. Even as he stood here considering this, the light drifts coming down from the sky began to become more substantial, and a strong gust of wind kicked up, almost blowing him off of his feet and into the chasm below. What an awful time, and place, to be caught in a blizzard.Draxas activated his R-Tracker and IR vision, as he hurried into the relative shelter of one of the nearby caves. He saw a cluster of red dots nearby on the R-Tracker's display, which he assumed was his allies. But the caves twisted and turned in many directions, and Draxas found himself going away from them as often as he moved toward them. As he passed through the network of caves, he occasionally passed into outdoor areas briefly, and each time, the snowfall outside was gaining strength. Eventually Draxas found himself before a pitch-black cave opening. The snow outside was roaring in its intensity now, and rather than brave the elements, he changed his vision mode from IR to Night Vision, drew his DMCs, and prepared to wait out the storm in the caves below. He could only wonder, and hope, that Raven and Jackson had also found similar shelter in this wasteland.

"Raven there is a blizzard coming, we should head backto Air Force One" Jackson yelled, Raven nodded and they set off for the downed plane. "Ill get a heating unit from my X-wing." with that Jackson produced a small device that had one button on it, pushing it an X-wing suddenly appeared and landed. Grabbing the heating unit from the cargo compartment, he pressed the button again and the X-wing cloaked and rose to the sky. "Let's go." Raven said. They reached the plane as the snow began to fall. Raven picked up what appeared to be the presidental scanner. "Jackson can we use this to keep track of where each member of the team is?" "Yes, we can, but I would need a blood sample or tissue sample." "Ok." Jackson prduced a Q-tip from the medipack and swabed Raven hand and then his own. He rested the swab on the scanning plate and scanned each sample into the scanner, the scanner beeped and hummed to life. Jackson had also scanned some of Draxas's blood from when he checked him with the medipack. The scanner showed three blips, two of them close together, one in a cave by elvis's downed saucer. "That's Draxas?" Raven asked "Yep, he must have taken cover from the blizzard there." Jackson said, the two of them sat and waited out the storm on the inside of Air Force One
