Jax motioned his troops closer to the house, though he knew they couldn't see him, for the most part. They were all in Pure Sphere Model T-7 Battle Assault Models, also nicknamed Chickenfighters. He opened the radio link, and spoke to his 4 other men. "Alright guys, keep your eye's peeled. Cherrygrove is a heavyily supernatural area. We don't want those guys to notice us, we only want the None Entity." He said. "Yes Sir!" Came ringing across the comm link. He nodded, satisfied his troops would perform his job, and moved his unit in closer to the house.
Diamond woke up slowly, she could sense something outside. Active hostile minds, but that wasn't unusual in Cherrygrove. Their were always the element who dislike those with power. And many of the residents were quite powerful, even on their own. She pulled herself out of bed, nude save her panties. Yawning, she said. "Where did I put my naginata?" And suddenly she felt the presences of those hostile minds disappear. She froze. "What the hell..."
"All psiblocking units are active sir. No one within a 300 meter radius can use any power based on Psi." One of the soldier reported. Jax thanked him, and cut the line. Without her psionic powers, she's be as helpless as a baby, as long as she didn't get her hands on the naginata. If she did, things could turn into real hell for him and his men. "Alright, begin the attack." Six gattling guns throttled up, then started firing depleated uranium shells into the house.
Diamond ducked, attempting to shield herself with her telekenisis, only to find that her power has deserted her. "WHAT THE HELL!" She screamed, jumping out of her bedroom, and tumbling down the stairs to the first floor. Her naginata was a few feet from her, on the dining hall table. She reached out for it quickly, but a uranium shell connected with it, sending it spiraling across the room and out the window. Cursing, Diamond upended the table, and hunkered down behind it. She called on the power of her dragoon spirit, a last resort.
"Captain!" One of Jax's man said over the comm link. "I can see the naginata, its outside. Its silver blade is beating like a heart, and what looks like a mile of chain is spread around it." He said. Jax grinned, they'd knocked the troublesome thing out of the house. "Alright men!" Jax said. "Move in for the kill!" The gatlings cut off, and blades protruded outwards suddenly, from the ends of the gun arms. They hacked off the top of the house, working their way down, looking for Diamond.
Diamond dark wings spread behind her, black armor with purple highlights weighing heavily on her body. A staff was in her right hand, though she missed the weight and feel of her true weapon. As soon as they tore the roof off, she burst out of the top of the house among them. "What? Machines?!" She yelled, surprised. Without wasting any time, she flew over to the first machine, and give it a hard whack in the cockpit with her staff. It caved and burst inwards, dark energy blowing through the craft.
"DAMNIT!" Jax yelled, angry beyond belief. It seems this woman had some hidden power Pure Sphere hadn't known about. "FINAL MEASURE!" He yelled into the comm. His gattling gun, along with all his comrads weapons, ejected their barrels. The gun opened into four prongs, and charged up the ion cannon. The 4 remaining vehicals pointed their weapons and fired.
Diamond raised a shield of darkness about her, but she could feel the Ion Cannons taxing her power. They were incredably powerful, and normally Dragoon form was a downgrade on her normal level of power. She count feel them overloading her senses, blood began to seep from her nose and ears, covering her armor, dripping down to collects at the bottom of her sphereical shield. Finally, she passed out from blood loss, and fell limply to the ground.
"Cut the guns!" Jax yelled as the woman fell to the ground. He checked his scanner. She was unconsious, blood loss. He sighed. "She's out, I'll collect her." He said. His Chickenfighter walked over, and he popped open the hatch. Dropping to the ground, he looked her over for any more serious injuries. But she seemed to be alright. Her right eye was half open, and he could see a dark, glassy material there, instead of a normal eye. He scanned it, and found it to be an extremely powerful supernatural object. "Jesus, do thats how she managed it." He took out his knife, and plunged it in around her eye, digging it up. Her unconsious body screamed, rupturing one of Jax' eardrums, but he dug it up anyways, not taking any chances. He tied her up, and bound the new wound he had created. He threw her into his cockpit, then climbed up himself, closing the hatch.
Now satisfied that no one could see him, he turned around and punched Diamond in the face until his hands bled. He could just say it'd happened during the attack later on, and he couldn't forgive the fucking bitch for killing one of his men.
The four remaining Chickenfighters headed for the hills, leaving the devestation behind for someone else to clean up.

OOC: Someone post dammit...
Lee Edit: No need to hassle us over not receiving posts before twelve hours is out. When the topic falls from the top five/ten on the board, then one may panic, but until then, it's essentially spamming/double posting.

"Well, well, well. Mechs on the march, and a destroyed home. Tell me, all of you, what is the nature of this whole operation? Be it an assassination?" An explosion went off on the back of the leg of a 'Chicken Fighter', evidently from explosives planted there. The damage to the leg was not negligible, but the mech was still mostly operational. Anybody searching for a human or other sentient being responsible couldn't find any readings. Nothing except for small insects, a vole or two, and a bird populated the area.
"Answer me!" Another explosion ripped through the damaged leg of the mecha, this time severing it completely.
One of the pilots in one of the remaining mechs looked at the readings. "Somebody is out there. They might have cloaking, or might be a shapeshifter. Stay ready."
OOC: BTW, it's Nat, just to let you know.

"The lady asked you a question, and I will make sure she gets it." a powerful voice echoed out over the sleeply little town of Cherrygrove.
A dark figure appeared in the distance, visible only with the aid of street lights. As the figure passed each set of bulbs they burst into sparks and vanished from existance. As the powerful figure approached, the devices used by the troops to moniter power began to break up and go dead. Something or someone very powerful was approaching and it was impossible to get a full reading on this figure. As the source of the voice stepped into the last set of streetlights they grew brighter. Valon Lorsha stood in all his glory holding a black orb in his right hand.
"One last chance to answer, or it will be the last mistake you ever made." Valon said coldly as he mentally felt out for where Nat was hiding but came up with nothing; her powers had always given Valon trouble.

"SHIT!" Jax yelled. His troops were in a state of panick, the cloaking shields, not to mention to distance they'd made from the house should've kept them safe from those unnatural bastard. "Execute Emergency protocol S-12!" He yelled into the comm. All of the men with him set their Fhoenix Armor to active mode. The red highlights on the armor began to glow brightly as the suits revved up.
Every single man set the nuclear device inside their cockpit to go off, making sure no one would be able to retrieve any information on their all important mission, and then they all teleported out, Jax with the mysterious supernatural power called 'Diamond' in his arms. The Chickenwalkers exploded directly after their departure.
______________________________________________________
"Mission accomplished sir, however. All of the chickenwalkers were destroyed in our assault, and we were forced to set the nuclear devices on four of them to go off. Their should be a sizable hole in one side of cherrygrove by now, as they were set to go off as soon as we vacated the cockpits." He said. His commanding officer, General Lance Boyd cursed. "Were you at least at minimum safe distance when the nukes went off?" The general asked. "Yes we were sir." Jax answered. "But that won't negate the damage done to Cherrygrove. I imagen its inhabitants may become a mite pissed sir." The general scowled. "Very well, you may go." He said. "Yes, sir!" Jax answered, and left the room.
Lance leaned back in his chair, not nearly as aggrivated as he'd acted a moment ago. Not only did they have a very powerful telepath to play with, but his officers had managed to screw up just enough to cause a lethal amount of damage to cherrygrove. The general grinned, and got out of his chair.
Five minutes found him in the sphereical chamber called Genesis, the center of which held a glass sphere with a woman inside. Diamonds mind and nervous system had been infultrated carefully, giving them full control over the woman. Her considerable psionic powers were now theirs to command, though god help them if she ever got loose. The entire chamber glowed an errie grey, mixed with the vibrant blue that pumped itself off of Diamond chamber, it gave the place a very mixed feeling. Sadness and lonelyness, with an underlying scent of power that intoxicated Lance.
He walked over to one of the terminal's and checked the readings. Comm was at 100%, she was in contact with all of Pure Sphere's forces, her amplified mind most likely reaching much farthur than that. Defense was also at 100%, no one would be able to touch the base they were in, for the moment. Attack, however, was only a 37%. The technitians seemed to be having a great deal of trouble breaking through her self imposed limits of killing unnessisarily. This ruined the general's mood a little bit, but he was still satisfied with the progress they'd made. He'd have to test her out, soon.
OOC: They are suppost to get away. ^^ You can attack the base though, if you want. I'll be adding another of my characters in a following post.

What should have been a massive explosion remained only within the radius of each mech. As the glow of energy began to die down, one could see the faint blue sphere that had contained the blast. An instant later, the sphere disappeared and someone in the darkness coughed.
Ender fell to his knees and coughed again, this time, a bit of blood coming out. He was squinting in pain while rubbing his temples because the mental energy used to contain the blast had given him a headache. A trickle of blood started to come out of his nose, but at least that ring was healing his mind at a much faster rate than usual.
A minute passed before the psionic felt like he could move again. He looked up and smiled.
"Hehe, those guys are really bad at what they do," Ender said with a faint voice. "Either that or just really stupid. Or both. Anyways." The psionic waved a hand, and out of the crater a large chunk of metal lifted up and floated towards the group. "That'd be the radio transmitter, or at least the bits that are important. You'd think that they'd have known that a hacker would be able to crack the input output signals when they were communicating to look up the mech schematics."
Ender's laptop was sitting behind him, already on. He took out a cable from his coat and attatched it to his computer, fiddled with the tranceiver for a second, then plugged it in.
Loud and clear inside the communications room of the base, a cheerful yet mocking voice shouted, "HEY EVERYONE! How's it? I'd just like to let you know that y'all basically fail at life. I didn't even have to use any of my powers to hack into all of the mechs within 20 seconds each. You guys didn't even manage to put in a crater deeper than 6 feet. Seriously guys, if you're gonna attack, at least know what you're up against.... you could probably use some better commanders too." Whatever display screens were online at the time suddenly switched from whatever they were doing to a picture of a large, smiling emoticon that spun around in circles. The only ones that weren't affected were the ones that were off or that had much more protection than the others.

"Shit!" The general yelled, the mocking message from the unknown psionic coming over the comm line. He turned towards one of the technicians. "Order Diamond to destroy that radio box! We can't have them getting any useful information."
"Diamond. Diamond?" A unknown voice prodded Diamond to wakefulness, though she still felt half in, half out. "Yes?" She said meekly, reduced to the mental stability of a child. "There are bad people out there Diamond. Bad people with things that could hurt us, they're at Cherrygrove Diamond, can you see them?" Diamond turned her senses towards Cherrygrove, she saw Ender, recognising him, but not those around him. "Yes, I see the bad people. They're around a piece of scrap metal." She said. "Good." The voice said. "Destroy them Diamond, and the scrap metal as well." Diamond felt the fear and anger suddenly flair in her. She couldn't let the bad people live.
A circle formed around Ender. A shield of sorts, blocking Psionic energy. It crackled, and the piece of scrap metal was destroyed. Then it contracted closer to Ender, protecting him from, something terrible...
A psi storm erupted around Ender, not touching him, but destroying everything else. It put great gouges in the ground and tree's, tearing rocks in half and setting fires. Violent, powerful energies assaulted Nat and Valon, striving to tear them to shreads. But it was still only 30 percent of Diamond total power. In the end, Ender stood at the center of the chaos, himself and his laptop untouched. Everything around him devistated.
"I think I destroyed the bad people." Diamond said, she was very tired. "Good girl, go back to sleep Diamond. You're a good girl." Diamond smiled, feeling loved, and drifted back down into the comforting darkness.
"The comm device has been destroyed sir." Of of the technicians said. "However, we are unsure if all of those participating in the counter offensive were killed, and one of them definately wasn't. Diamond recognised the Unknown Psionic, and excluded him from her attack." The general's features contorted with rage. "Have someone sent out to kill that psionic!" He yelled.

Ender's eyes widened as he saw the circle around him. He knew it's purpose as he saw it contract around him. He could sense the energy stored within, and he knew that it wouldn't end very well. He tried to lift his hand to absorb the energy into himself, knowing that since it's purpose wasn't to harm him, he wouldn't be hurt too much. But he was too tired from containing the nuclear explosions a moment earlier...
"Move!" he shouted at his companions, the sound going inito both the ear and the mind.

OOC – Yes, I know Aurora is kind of captured in ‘Bound’ atm, but Prime started this, topic and the beginning of the war without him being rescued. So I’m going to pretend this is in the future.
BIC –
Aurora and Kuri stood together as they watched the events of Cherrygrove, they both decided not to interfere deducting that this group of hostiles would lead them to a base, where they could extract useful information.
“These machines are… weak.” Aurora stated to Kuri, who nodded in agreement as they watched them start the nuke sequence. Aurora started to pounce into action, but Ender appeared before, doing the job Aurora was about to, saving the town of Cherrygrove.
“Aurora, go to them. I will be back later.” Kuri called, and teleported away. Aurora just shrugged, and teleported behind Ender.
“Pretty nasty psychic storm there.” Aurora commented as he reappeared. “Any ideas on what caused it?” He asked.

"Diamond did it." Prime said, stepping up behind Aurora. "That was definately her energy. And those men kidnapped her earlier, what I don't understand is why." He said, concerned and angry. "I'm sorry it took me so long to catch up to you guys, merely human as I am, its hard for me to keep up." He said sadly. "Its good to see you again Aurora!" He said, hugging his friend. "Nice to know you have friends who will decend into the pits of hell for you, isn't it?" He said, grinning.
"And its good to see you as well Ender." Prime said, shaking Ender's hand. "Been a while. Valon, I recognise you, though it seems like a long forgotten dream. It was probably before my greater ordeals. All the same, its good to have you here. Now, I'm pretty sure their was one other person present, but where is that person?" He asked.

Nat appeared, the bone spines of her armor crackling with energy. "I really need to think of a better defence than just taking the smallest form I can think of, and then hoping they miss." she said reflectively, and then tilted her head, thinking. "I saw them wreck her house, got 'em after they grabbed her, but I couldn't stop that last thing." She looked around and made sure that Zebedee wasn't present. He had an annoying habit of making her pay for swearing. Too soon to know if he was. So she decided not to let her full feelings on the ordeal be known.
"I just heard a bunch of big talk about us all being abominations and such." Nat said, adjusting her ponytail and glaring at the damage. "I'm about ready to kill each and every one of them. It's getting old at this point. What is this, the second time that those vigilantes have come after us?"

“Probably more than that,” Aurora replied to Nat, he had these people come after him most of the time, although he could always give them the slip easily, but that was before they had these new machines and such. Aurora turned to Prime.
“Here, Prime, I have something for you.” Aurora said, as he put a hand into him robes and drew out Prime’s old sword, “Excalibur.” Aurora held it out for him.

"Well shit." Prime said, taking the sword. "I had wondered where that'd got to." He said. "I thought I'd lost that thing, after I thought you lost you li-" His sentense was cut off, as golden energy from the blade crawled up his arm. It spiraled upwards, faster and faster, being absorbed into his body. Prime went rigid, his body trembling, wracked with shivers. His mind was on overload, their was to much energy for his merely human body to handle. The blade desintigrated as the last of the energy flowed into Prime body, and the hilt fell out of Prime's trembling hand.
Prime screamed.
An endless silence.
A small, vertical slit appeared on Prime's forhead, a golden coloring to it. Prime's eye's were closed, almost as though in reverence. To him, he could see this. A small opening to an entirely new world a light, aura's all around him, intense and powerful. He could see and sense and touch and taste. Suddenly, the slit opened wide. A golden eye, composed of energy looked out at Aurora, Nat, and Valon. Prime could see something altogether different. The eye took him far from his own body, to find what he was searching for.
He could see Diamond, pieced, penetrated, and violated in the most fantastic ways, suspened in a sphere filled with cyan gel. Her mind had been torn away from her, leaving her massive potential and abilities at the technicians command. Prime seethed with anger, he wanted to reach out and kill them. Destroy them, see them burn and breath in the scent of their destruction. But he reigned himself back, knowing it'd be nothing more than a token gesture if they couldn't retreive Diamond.
Prime opened his eye's and stood up, he explained what he'd seen to the others. "I'm not sure what we should do at this point. With Diamond under their control as she is, they could kill us all."
