Cyber Wars ch7- "The Gates into the Demented Mind of the Coyote."
 

The mansion seemed to exist in multiple dimensions at once. Even on the outside the building seemed to not obey logic. Entire towers and sections of the palatial estate seemed to be held to gether with only shear will power. There were no straight lines. no right angles. Towers coming off like the tendrils of a mangrove, others seemed to wobble like a spring. All were connected to a main building, in a previously unheard of shape. The place as a whole looked like something Willy Wonka or Dr. Suess would have built while inspired by Acid. The only regular geometry belonged to a rectangular piece of tweed mat, which read "Bless this mess." The mat sat in front of two large Oak doors. There were no first or second floor windows The rest however were in unusual places and weird shapes.

The Grounds around the mansion were lush gardens full of unusual plants. the gardens were segregated into climates, and seasons. The North portion seemed to be in a perpetual winter and the south section an eternal summer. The gates were in the east and were in a permaneant spring.

The grounds at the moment were earilly quiet till the shrill sound of a megaphone testing broke the silence.

"I'm sorry, but I'm an Atheist, and very happy with my vaccuum cleaner. So I'm not interested in what your selling. I also have a house policy that reads 'All tresspassers will be offered a shot.'"

Jade saw the blur breeze past her ear and her gun was out instantaneously. Then she saw who it was. "Aegis? I thought you were dead!" Without lowering er gun for a second, she stared him down. "Explain yourself quickly, I have no time for this."

The entrance
 

At that moment, a chill was sent up the spine of everyone in the Cyber World Team. Almost instinctively they could all feel a disturbance in everything, even their own existance. It was as if time and space were being manipulated.

Everything went silent. It was as if sound had been removed from the world. And then there was a flash of light...

A giant concentration of energy struck the ground just behind where the Cyber World Team was standing. The feeling of a disturbance was gone, sound had returned, and when their eyes adjusted after the flash of light, the newest member of their team was before them.

He stood before them surrounded by a mist created by his odd entrance. He was 6 feet, 2 inches tall with slicked back black hair. He wore black work boots and baggy black jeans, aswell as a black long sleeved shirt. On his belt hung two odd looking guns, that shone in the moonlight. They were hidden only by his long black cloak-like jacket. He also wore a strange pair of sunglasses that had a small red LED moving back and forth from eye to eye.

He looked at the slightly taken aback group before him and spoke: "My name is Optimus, Special Anti-Virus Force 307. If you are wondering where I came from, it was another dimension where I have...business. I apologize for any disorientation you may have experianced during my dimensional shift. There are simpler ways of shifting dimensions, however as I have been informed, time was of the essence. Fortunately, when shifting dimensions, I can choose where in the new dimension I wish to appear. Now, what are the mission specifications?"

The wind blew and Optimus' jacket fluttered in the breeze. All that remained now was one more member of 307.

Dive smiled to himself as he looked around at his surroundings. This mansion looked like it would be a lot of fun to explore, and this new team he had been assigned to work with seemed to be a nice enough group (although this Wolf guy seemed to be a bit of a party pooper). In any case, he decided to move from the wall anyway, more because he felt like moving than anything else.

His descent from the wall seemed to defy gravity, his feet moving as if breaking a normal pair of roller blades. As he touched the ground, the two other new arrivals made their appearance. He offered a slight smirk to Optimus "Took you long enough "old man"." He commented, pulling a bottle of soda out of his side pack.

Wraith, seeming to have been ignored, smirks to himself and floats through the wall ahead of him. Sometimes being ignored is a good thing. As he emerges through the other side and looks around, he quickly notices that whatever security he's used to doesn't quite exist here. Here, everything is surreal and symbiotic, and the first thing he notices is the man with the megaphone. He looks up to him and stares for a moment, squinting his eyes and contemplating.

He then ducks down and sneaks behind a bush, removing his pistol and a sniper scope and putting them together. He scans the area while he does so, making sure that his back is clear.

"Good, can't see anybody..." He mutters to himself.

Done with his sniper pistol, he removes a cigarette from a pocket and looks at it, then shoves it back in and mutters, "Save it for the victory dance..."

He levels his pistol and takes aim, lining the man up in his sights while checking his silencer one last time...a little to the left, a little to the right...and now he has a shot...

(( I have no idea what I'm doing. @_@ ))

Wraith heard a voice from behind him.

"Hey Mang. joo got a light?" He turned quickly and saw nothing.

"Down here, mang." He looked and saw a chihuahua holding an unlit cigar.

Wraith looks down at the chihuahua. (._.) "................................."

He takes out and looks at his cigarette. ( ._.) "..................................."

He looks at the chihuahua again. (._.) "......................................"

He throws the cig over his shoulder.

Wolf looked over Optimus. A trans-dimensional being, eh? Well...he seems all right, but the oscillating LED on his sunglasses make him look like a humanoid version of KITT.

His head snapped back towards the palace grounds as he heard one of the clones voice his warnings. More insane rambling, followed by what I believe to be a threat of violence.

Wolf looked over at Jade. "I'll try to stall him for time." He picked up his PDAP, and activated the radio feature and set it to broadcast on all known channels.

"I have no idea what your major malfunction is, but I do know this, Coyote. We have your son. You want him back, and we want you to relinquish your weapon. So let's negotiate and nobody gets hurt, deleted, or eaten by a tennis-playing blancmange."

Fight insane randomness with more insane randomness he thought.

"Okay, I'll sum this up as fast as possible. When the Aegis system was destroyed, it was because of one reason. I'd expanded the power output, but Coyote took away the retainers. However, I'd built the Undelete and Delete commands respectively into Aegis. I go boom, the program rebuilds. Unfortunately, since my mind was tied into it, I was rebuilt as well, as the Aegis program embodied. And here I am, as Angel."

He shrugged, took note of the new members, "It appears that a lot has changed since I died. Oh, and by the way...I think now that I am Aegis, and the link to the permanent Cyber-World is gone, I can jack out. But turning back to the task at hand..."

Wraith turns back around, ignoring the chihuahua and leveling his gun again, thumbing the trigger. 'One wrong move and I drop this guy...'
