(Jade Only) In the waiting room a teenage clone sat at her desk filing her nails and chatting on the phone.

"SHADDUP!!OhmygoddidIliketellyoumydadsaidhe'dbuyme aporcheformybirthdayIknowaren'tyousojealous."

There was no one else in the taupe room there were leather chairs and magzine racks full of old issues of Fishermen Weekly, and Wired.

Jade's jaw almost dropped to the floor. She walked up to the Coyote girl and cleared her throat. The girl didn't even look up. Jade waved her hand in front of the girl's face. She looked up with almost disgust and said, "Just sit down over there the doctor will see you soon." Jade shrugged and grabbed a Wired magazine as she sat down in one of the cushy chairs to wait.

OOC: And now to make it more interesting...

BIC: A servant virus rapped on the large office door. After a few seconds a booming voice said "come in." Timidly, the servant walked in only to find...nothing except a large deska nd a chair with the back to him. "Mastermind, I have a report from the outside." "Very well." "It seems like the Cyber World forces are all inside the mansion in question, along with the Agents. All of the variables are in one place master, perhaps this is the right time to..." "Silence fool! I am the one who gives the orders here. You dare tell me how to run my own program!" He waved a gloved hand, and the servant was erased on the spot. "So hard to find good help these days..." He waved his hand again and a new servant was summoned. "Y-yes master?" "Send out the order for all of my troops to mobilize. I want every available virus and wiral slave to be ready to go on my command. They will all converge upon the mansion and wipe out the Cyber Forces and Coyote in one fell swoop." "Yes master." As the servant began to leave Mastermind held out a hand to stop him. "One more thing. I want complete control and command of the army to be given over to our new general, I want everyone to know that Kaitlin is in charge and they are to follow her orders as if they were my own." "Yes Mastermind." The servant quickly left and gave out the orders.

OOC: Mwahaha!

The secretary ended her conversation and started to read a fasion magazine. Time moved slowly in the waiting room. It felt like hours went by. Then a loud screeching noise could be heard. It was like sharp nails on a chalk board it went for a minute. The coyote girl seemed to not notice it.

"Coyote Prime will see you now."

A hidden door in the wall opened behind jade. Her chair fell back into a black void.

OOC: We're all screwed

OOC: Wow, that was a busy week, and some advice, never miss the midnight train back from NYC. Anyway, I have time and I'll be jumping back in now, and since I had been hoping there would be an escher room anyway, anyone mind if I place myself in there?

BIC:

Dive had been skating around the Escher room for the past 20 minutes (ooc I assume that's how much time has passed). He couldn't say why, but when he saw the door when the mansion was reshaping itself, he couldn't resist jumping through it.

"I suppose I always did want to do this, skate around in one of those paintings." He mumbled to himself, headphones in his ears and playing his own mp3 collection (which he had been doing since arriving at the mansion anyway. "I wonder where the others are? I was hoping for a little more prep time before we jumped in for the fun. I don't even know what I'm looking for."

Glancing to the right, he saw Wolf on a staircase on one of the nearby "walls". "Heeeey!" she shouted, waving his arms, trying to get the attention of the hunter.

OOC: Bugger! Looks like the latest developments that Jade has implemented have malfed up my plans again...but oh well...adopt, adapt, improve.

BIC: Wolf had just finished scrawling the second verse of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" into a wall when he noticed Dive waving at him. So...I'm not alone after all

He activated the two-way radio on his PDAP. "Good to see I'm not the only one stuck here, Dive. Any ideas on how we can escape?"

OOC: And now to add to the interest...(and how screwed we are)

BIC: Agent Smith recieved the new orders and scowled. She doesn't deserve to be promoted over me...but oh well...such is Mastermind's will.

He turned to Katlin "Lucky you. You get to lead the assault on Coyote's Mansion. What better way to ultimately crush your will than by being the one to order the death of Jason MacKenzie."

Katlin, now all but under Mastermind's control, did not respond. They vanished and reappeared near a massive army of Mastermind's finest troops assembled just outside of the Mansion's last known position. Katlin's attire had changed to that of a military General's uniform.

Katlin spoke in an almost zombie-like drawl.
"Today is the day we remove the last threats to Mastermind's rule. Today is the day we end this war"

Of course, she wasn't in control of what she was saying or doing, but there was nothing she could do about it.

No...I can't let him win...but I can no longer resist...Jason...forgive me... the last free part of her trapped mind thought.

Jade's chair landed with a thud in a room lined with monitors. 10 Coyotes were in the room 9 in lab coats and one lounging with a beer and a tub of popcorn.

"Welcome to my home Jade." The lounging Coyote said. "I had my children roll out the welcome mat, but it seems your friends don't like my hospitality."

The monitors showed the random shifting of the house as the improbibilty drive kept shifting the location and manner of the house.

"If they'd stop trying to kill my family and destroy my house, the drive would turn off. Oh how rude of me, these are my eldest children; Albert, Steven, Tycho, Claude, Marie, James, Isaac, Nikola, and Pythagoras."

(Does anybody remember the episode of reboot when Megabyte sends his entire army after Hexadecimal? I do.)

OOC: To Wolf: Or we could just break that chair...

Monk, now tired from the screaming, finally realized that there was nothing he could do. He would have to wait for death to come and take his soul from him. Knowing thes, he crossed his legs up on themselves and closed his eyes. I have failed... and there is nothing I can do. The falling seem to slow down. It has come to this... He felt like he was now on flat ground. I am sorry... A cool breeze came over his face. Ah... a breeze has come to see me off. "Wait... a breeze?" He opened his eyes and saw that he was in front of a house, a mansion of some sort. He carefully stood up, the floor seeming a little like jello, not knowing if it was his feet decieving him, or the ground really was weak, but it kept him up.

Taking one more breath, he felt rocks and grass under his feet. Looking up at the mansion he nodded at his assignment. He had people to save... however, he now had to save himself, hearing a march from behind him. Turning, he saw two agents, a woman, and several troops behind them. They were ready for war, but so wasn't Monk. Slowly getting ready to fight, All right... first I take them... THEN I save Jade. Nodding, he waited for them to make the first move.

OOC: I think we may need to break more than 1 chair...

BIC: Agents Smith and Jackson noticed Monk standing in their path. Katlin also took notice of Monk...although with a vacant stare common amognst Mastermind's slaves...especially the Generals.

"It's him."

"The Fugitive."

"Do we proceed?"

"Yes. He is, after all..."

"Only Human."

The three started advancing on Monk, their army following close behind.

OOC: The song "Hell March" from Red Alert comes to mind right about now...and also I think we need a new chapter. Also Also...I think, JADGuy, that it's spelled "Nikolai" (If I figured out your pattern right)

ooc: it's Nikola not nikolai
