452 Remis Camp (1/2)
Del moved to a nearby cushion and sat with her back toward him.
/Alpha: Chiba: Is that the Ain'Dhassi you saved in Ever Flame?
/Alpha: Nix: Yep.
/Alpha: Wind: You said Sinfaya's people are leading the rebellion? What was his name?
/Alpha: Nix: Cathor. We'll find him as soon as I get a report from Darsi.
Raine Xai has joined Inferno.
Pon's old face split into a wide grin when he read the message. ”Looks like Fajii had that talk with Tura Raine.”
”Shut up, bastard.” Nix accessed his inventory and pulled out the Eidelgal armor. It was tinted green and had base stats superior to his Nether King Armor, but he hadn't bothered to mod it since he wasn't planning on using it.
”New armor boss?” Wind smiled slyly, ”or is that a betrothal gift from the Xai Clan?”
”Very funny. My armor melted off... Damn it that still pisses me off.” Nix sat on one of the cushions and applied a sound dampening, Camo-overlay onto his new armor. ”Guess I should be happy I didn't lose my weapons too.”
The black Orion slinked closer and sat next to him. Her crystal blue eyes watched while he worked. ”Why would the Xai Clan give you a betrothal gift?”
Nix shrugged slightly and kept working. ”Just a misunderstanding.”
”Did you lose your puppet forms too?” Wind shook his head. ”That basilisk form was bad-ass.”
Pon nodded his head in agreement. ”It was f*cking awesome. I loved seeing ass-hats turned into statues.”
Nix let the scowl on his face slip into a grin. ”Well... good thing I wasn't wearing these bad boys during the blood fusion!”

[Enhancement: Miniature Animation .25] Desert Basilisk
”I lost my Sea King [Turtle] and Orion [Feline] enhancements that I placed on my old armor, but that's it.” Nix finished his work and then equipped the new armor. The beauty of the Nether King set was that it could resemble normal clothes, and had the Nether Walker ability. ”I should talk to Leva; maybe she can find me the Nether Walker enhancement.”
[Direct Contact: Darsi]
A holo image of Darsi lying prone on some rocks appeared in the middle of their tent. She held her sniper rifle in one hand while looking through the scope. She didn't bother to look up when she accepted the call. ”Thought you forgot about me, Trip-7.”
”Directly northeast of your position is a series of ravines that could offer coverage for a large force. I observed them traveling that way a few nights ago.” Darsi mumbled something under her breath and turned slightly to look at Nix's holo. ”Aledo is there, and so is someone called Raya, both of them are guarded by a force I don't recognize.”
Wind's head turned toward the entrance as the gecko he'd been playing with disappeared. ”Someone's here, boss.”
A moment later, the tent flap was pulled to one side, and Cathor stepped through.
/Alpha: Pon: This is Sinfaya's champion, right? Her dragon spawn?
/Alpha: Nix: Yes. I'm not sure what his strength is like, but probably not as strong as Commander Mtui.
/Alpha: Wind: He a caster? Do we need to protect him?
/Alpha: Nix: No, he and his forces will have to protect themselves.
Del has joined Alpha.
/Alpha: Del: Thanks.
Nix stood and shook Cathor's hand when he offered it. ”We're going to assist you by cutting off the head of the snake; however, you'll be responsible for clean-up.”
Cathor nodded. ”We received reinforcements from the forces you brought earlier.”
/Alpha: Pon: He means Breach Commander Mtui?
/Alpha: Nix: Yeah. Cathor is incognito, Sinfaya's forces will remain here in Belatora after we leave.
/Alpha: Chiba: He's handsome. Ask if he wants to come to the Harvest Festival with me.
/Alpha: Nix: He's not your type.
/Alpha: Chiba: I see. Thank you for taking care of me, Apprentice.
Cathor glanced at the holo. ”Is this your scout?”
”Yes, she's pinpointed the location of our target. We'll go in and deal with the heavies when that's done; I'll breach your people in.” Nix closed comm and motioned for his group to get moving. ”Five minutes, we'll head out.”
A half-hour later, four stealthed Daiken circled over Darsi's position. It was obvious from the air that she was using her monocular to track them.
Darsi has joined Alpha.
/Alpha: Nix: Any change?
/Alpha: Darsi: Nothing important. Aledo is bunkered down in a small cave with only one entrance.
/Alpha: Pon: Lame and stupid. Let's leave the idiot for last.
/Alpha: Darsi: Raya is across the compound in her command tent. As I said, I don't recognize the elites protecting her.
/Alpha: Nix: Figured out a starting point for us?
