"Port me, Mach!"
"Can't, hurt, remember?"
"Throw me, Kalyy'ya!"
"Uh...got it..."
One hurled werewolf later, Urufu slices the robot's head off, shouting, "LEEEROOOOY! JEEEEEENKIIIIIINS!"

As quick as he could, Ash dashes toward his enemy and stabs his saber through the MA-X01-S with all the power he has. The MA-X01-S stumbles forward, then turns around as if he wanted to attack the much smaller Ash again. But nothing happens. Then, finally, the armor stumbles and crashes onto the ground. Ash deactivates his saber and pushes it back into the armors hip-pocket.
"What... is this strange...", he mutters, looking around.
All of a sudden, Ash holds his chest in pain, stumbling back. He coughs a few times. Enough to cover most of his HUD in blood.In the next second the pain is gone.
Again, like a few hours ago, Ash finds himself floating in an empty space,wrapped in light. And there she is again. That annoying woman, wrapped in light, just like Ash.
[glow=blue,2,000]"You... you were... in that armor...right? I can feel it..."[/glow]
[glow=green,2,000]"That is correct."[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,000]"But... then you must be dead... How can you...?"[/glow]
[glow=green,2,000]"My spirit. Evolved humans use this form to communicate. There is no need to talk anymore. Even after a persons death, his spirit continues exist."[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,000]"Pff. Stop this whole evolution crap already."[/glow]
[glow=green,2,000]"Why wont you accept what you are?"[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,000]"Haha. Funny. Do you remember what you told me about destiny?Well... and this was your destiny? To die here?"[/glow]
[glow=green,2,000]"Right. As much as I hate to say it. My dead was necessary for you and Revil to evolve further."[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,000]"WHAT? You have seen this coming? And you still fought?"[/glow]
[glow=green,2,000]"Yes. Like you said. My destiny was to die today. It wouldn't have made any difference if I fought you and your friends or not. But like this, I can at least help you."[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,000]"But why did you fight us then? It makes no sense!"[/glow]
[glow=green,2,000]"Because I needed to see what you people are capable of. Now I know that there is no reason to worry about the worlds future."[/glow]
Before Ash can say anything anymore, everything is back to normal. That isn't really a good thing. Now he can see something in front of him. Something red, insanely quick. Before he has time to react, an intense pain, unlike anything he ever felt before, runs through Ash's body. He falls on his knees, right in front of Revil, who's face is covered in blood, with deep cuts on it, while many pieces of metal from the exploded saber are still stuck in it. Ash screams. He screams as if he was dying every second.
"Do you even know what the freak-show and and you have done?", Revil asks him, pointing at the others.
No response from Ash. He glares at the saber in Revil´s hand, then to his left. Beside him on the ground lies something white. Ash looks shocked at it before looking at his left shoulder. His left arm was missing! Revil had cut it off with one attack. The wound was sealed by the immense heat of Revil´s beam saber. Otherwise he would have probably died of the blood-loss.
"For this... you will suffer the most horrible death you can imagine... Once I am done with you... those monsters are next...and then... I will search Helena and Amy.", Revil says slowly, grinning.
... For me, you are like a brother ...
... Whatever you do, just be careful... okay? ...
"I will not... let them... DIE!"
The pain is gone. Replaced with rage. Ash jumps up, grabs Revil´s face and activates his wings. Totally surprised about this sudden move, Revil´s loses his saber. Ash dashes with an insane speed toward the end of the room and slams Revil into the wall. Revil tries to break loose, but cant.
"Where does that power come from!?!"
"DRAGON-ARMOR! HELP ME ONE LAST TIME!!!", Ash shouts, as if the his armor could hear him.
A soft whirr can be heard, coming from the Dragon-Armor.
"No! That will kill both of us!"
Ash says nothing.
"Your friends will die too!!!"
"They will be fine.", is the only thing Ash replies.
For the blink of an eye, it could be seen that it isn't Ash who pushes Revil into the wall. It is a woman, wrapped in a bright light.
"What? Why? Why do you help him instead of me!?!", Revil shouts, now starting to panic.
Shortly after Revil´s question, several flashes descend from the Dragon-Armors chest, getting brighter and brighter, until it starts to hurt looking at them. A huge explosion shakes the earth as Ash and Revil are consumed completely by the light, then by a gigantic fireball. Small pieces of white and red metal fly through the room, as well as complete armor parts. The shaking stops. Both Ash and Revil are gone, along with a big part of the room.
(( Okay guys. Last Post´s, please. Lets finish this. ))

Urufu looks up, awestruck. "What...in the blue monkey F*CK...just! Happened?!"
"Revil cut off Ash's arm, insulted us and p!ssed off Ash, then he made sure he went bye-bye," Machaeus says. "Apparently at the cost of his own life..."
Kalyy'ya is misting up. "You've got to be kidding me," she nearly blubbers, gripping her tail. "He...he didn't...really...did he?"
"Kalyy'ya, you of all people should know death is rarely the end," Machaeus says, slightly irate. "It's sad, yes, but assuming he did die...he's probably in a better place. At least Revil sure isn't. I'll know for sure soon." Machaeus locks onto Ash's mana signature (a la DBZ energy, but the latent magic in him and stuff instead) and searches for him.
(Does he find anything?)

A grate in the floor flew upwards and crashed back down with a crash that echoed around the silent chamber. The furry feet that kicked it up dissapeared back down the hatch, replced by a pair of dusty, greasy, furry arms.
Kei hauled herself out. Her face was taught, betraying nothing of the torrent of emotions swirling within her at that moment. She'd been to busy monitoring the other areas of the base to have forseen what had just happend. She'd only known when a terribly familiar sensation had brushed the edges of her limited spiritual senses. But she'd been in this situation too many times, and was quick to bar out any emotions that might impede her ability to fight and escape.
Thanks for teaching me that one, Zeke.
"I lost control of the security systems. This place will be overrun in a matter of minutes. We need to go, now."
She turned to Machaeus.
"Can you teleport us?"
(If not, I have a cool idea.)

"Maybe 30 feet," Machaeus says. "That doesn't take much concentration. But we need to get farther, don't we?"

"Nothing," Mach says. "He's...gone."
"So is Kalyy'ya," Urufu notes.
Silence, then an explosion where the incoming armors are. "Oh, nuts."

"Move!"
Kei runs towards the side of the hanger where a large number of olive green tarps are draped over boxes, equipment and vehicles. She stops at one marked "WUCV-23" and slashes the ropes keeping the cover taught around one side. Kei then slips underneath the tarp.
Banging sounds, sounds of claws on metal and of metal parts moving come from beneath. Then, the roar of an engine and the screeching of tyres.
Out from under the tarp, a black 6-wheeled LAV growls forwards and stops in front of Mach and Urufu. Its turret, sporting twin miniguns and a Metal Storm launcher, faces backwards in storage position. The drivers hatch opens up, and a furry, big eared head sticks out.
"Good news is thats its armoured, fast, and runs on a mirco-fusion reactor. Bad news is that its got no ammo, execpt for the laser AMS and smoke projectors which run off the reactor anyway."
Kei opens the rear hatch.

"Whatever works," Urufu says, piling in with Machaeus. "Kalyy'ya, come on!"
"Here already," she says.
Urufu turns to her. "But...the explosion...that wasn't you?"
"Nope."
Silence. "Whatever." The hatch closes and they're off.

Outside the hanger, a team of EDF troopers race to form a firing line at the doors while one goes to the service panel to override the locks. But before he can open up the panel the door begins to open of its own accord.
Seconds later the EDF squad scramble to the sides of the passageway as an armored vehicle roars up the ramp and towards the exit.
"I've timed all the doors to open and close as we go through," Kei yells to the others from the driver's compartment, "with any luck we'll trap most of them inside the base. But once we're out we gotta ditch this thing fast, it's kinda conspicuous for a getaway car."

Machaeus groans. "Okay, good news/bad news. Good news, my face isn't numb anymore. Bad news, I need asprin like a b!tch."

"Check the back, there should be a medikit somewhere in this thing."
There was a loud ripping sound from above them. Kei grimaced.
"That was lower than I thought..."
The LAV exits into the main courtyard of the EDF facillity, already alive with activity. Though most of the forces remained trapped inside, those outside began to open fire on the vehicle. The low caliber weapons had no effect on the armoured troop carrier. Even when one of the tyres was blown it re-inflated seconds later.
"Hold on, this trips about to get rougher."
Kei shifted down a gear and roared through the barrier fences and into the forest surrounding the base.
"Where do we go from here?" she asked.

"I suggest we go to Gordon and find an island," Urufu says. "Or maybe Antarctica if he can stand the cold without malfunctioning."

"He should, I doubt anywhere on this planet is as cold as space...speaking of which how cold is this place? Will I need my jacket?" Kei asks as she plows through a line of trees.

"Antarctica can reach highs of 5 degrees centigrade," Kalyy'ya says. "That's in the summer. In the afternoon. You're gonna need three layers AND your fur. 80 to 90 below centigrade is the coldest it can get."
"You mean you seriously look up random things on Wikipedia?" Machaeus asks. "I thought you were joking."
EDIT: Forgot a word.
