(orders from BG)

Angel ran through the first door and suddenly relized something. His vision split as did all of his senses he could experience all persepctives at once.

"The jerk went into the Picaso room." Nikola said.

"Have the doors removed" Coyote said.

"He'll be trapped in there."

"Exactly."

The doors to the Picaso room disappeared.

Wraith runs through yet another doorway, trying to get away from the crazy childlike chibi Coyotes, and finds himself...outside...

He skids to a stop and blinks, staring ahead at the army gathered across from him. To his left is another army of Coyote clones, charging headlong into Mastermind's army in front of him. 'What the...'

He looks around some more and sees Monk battling Agents, then Angel killing the Agents, then Angel running into the mansion, and finally over to see Kaitlin holding a gun up to Wolf and Beowolf in a mech. Thinking quickly, he jumps and assumes ghost form, passing through several hundreds of soldiers before landing next to her and Wolf, drawing his pistol and aiming for her head. "Drop it."

She turns her head to him robotically and stares, her face devoid of anything making her human. "Don't make me shoot," He adds.

The Chibi clones are gathering. They all are dressed in mixed fasions. in unison the childlike virii move up the green hill coming into view of Mastermind's army.

A lone coyote stepped forward he was only about 3 feet tall. He was dirty and his long hair matted. In his right hand he wielded a grey plastic conan sword, and on his left a grey plastic shield he was wearing a dirty brown kilt. Half of his face was blue.

"They may take oul toyth." The child yells at the other children. "But they can nevel take our choclate."

A clarion call on a grope of toy trumpets.

"Chalge!"

The Chibi Virii began to run down the hill all armed with various toys. BAMF! Suddenly with a puff of multicolored smoke the army disappeared. The troop's weapons fire hit harmlessly on the hill.

POIT!

The chibi virii reappeared amongst the army. and the loud battl cry of "CHOCLATE!" echoed louder than the sudden screams of the attacked soldiers.

OOC: Don't you just love the Mexican Standoff Situation? Also, I never entered the mech...and how can a pistol blow up an 8 meter tall mech? And I've also had the mech/jet since the start of this RP on the Webcomic forums. I used it in Chapter 1...then it became useless during stealth missions. I decided to revive it for this purpose.

BIC: Time slowed for Wolf as he considered the situation. Katlin had the gun leveled at Daishi, Wraith had a gun leveled at Katlin, and Wolf didn't have a gun leveled at anyone as of right now.

Time to change that... he thought as he walked through the gaping hole in the wall and out onto the lawn.

"Looking for me?" he said to Katlin. Katlin shifted her aim quickly and now pointed the gun at Wolf.

Wraith reasserted his demand for Katlin to drop it. Wolf almost shouted.

"No! Wraith, stand down...I can handle things from here. Go find the others."

Wraith gave him a quizzical look. Wolf decided to explain a little. "Look, it's a little complicated, I'll explain later...right now all you need to know is that if she dies, then Mastermind wins."

Slowly, Wraith put his gun back and vanished. (OOC: sorry, Zephir but I have to get this part done in one go.)

Wolf relaxed a little. "All right, now it's you, me, and Beowulf." Wolf pointed back towards the still prone Daishi

"Beowulf? Oh...that's right...you stole him from Mastermind."

"More like liberated."

"It does not matter what you think, Major Jason MacKenzie, all that matters now is what Mastermind thinks. Surrender now, or be destroyed."

Wolf decided it was now or never. "Listen Katlin, I know that Mastermind has you in the highest level of his control, reserved for assassins and Generals...but you have to fight it...I can save you if you just fight it long enough for me to find you. All I know is that I will not fire on you with intent to harm."

I hope she heard me...

"You fool." came the metallic voice as Katlin began to pull the trigger...but then she suddenly started jerking her aim around.

I guess so...

***

Katlins mind was at war with herself. No...I will not let you harm him!

SILENCE FOOL! YOU CANNOT STOP MASTERMIND!!! the Mastermind subroutine implanted in her mind shouted.

Katlin's aim shifted from Jason's head, to his leg, then his chest, and then his right arm as Katlin tired to fight the virus.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! JASON MACKENZIE WILL DIE!

Not Today he won't!!! Katlin forced her aim to change just as the virus caused her to open fire.

***

Wolf knew the shot was coming, and he moved to dodge. He didn't move just fast enough though. The .50 caliber round slammed into his right thigh, and he crashed to the ground.

A General would shoot to kill... he thought as he painfully willed himself to stand, the nano-augmentations in his legs working overtime. Katlin aimed again, but this time Wolf was ready. He drew the M9, aimed, and fired. The tranq dart hit Katlin in the neck, and she slowly fell to the ground.

As Wolf moved towards her, she started to break up into alphanumeric characters.

She must be being logged out by Mastermind because I incapacitated her.

Wolf stumbled as fatigue hit him, and he dropped down to one knee. He painfully let out one last message to Katlin before she logged out enitrely.

"Katlin...don't ever lose hope. I will find you."

He heard footsteps behind him. It was Beowulf. "You do realize what's going to happen now."

"Yes...Mastermind is going to be pissed."

"The Coyote forces are holding off Mastermind's troops. It does not look like Mastermind will be winning any battles today."

"He just might...He might kill Katlin for losing this batle." Wolf said.

"Not if we have anything to say about it. I got an IP trace on her...I found where her RW body is being held."

Wolf suddenly smiled. "You did? Thanks...I owe you one."

"I'd say we're about even; you did free me from Mastermind's iron grip. The least I can do is help you gain your life as Jason MacKenzie back."

"You're probably right...anyway. Let's get the OTAV up and running. It's time to kick some more Mastermind ass"

Wolf hobbled back to Daishi and got in the pilot's seat, while Beowulf entered the RIO seat behind him. Wolf waited for the onboard AI to power the mech up, but nothing happened.

"Beowulf, what the hell did you do to the onboard AI?"

"Oh...I finally subverted it and took it over. A subroutine of mine is now the onboard AI for the OTAV. Hold on a second."

Daishi's systems powered up with no major problems except for the earlier engine damage.

"All right, now let's see who we can hit from here."

Wolf locked the Long Range Missiles onto a cluster of Mastermind soldiers near the rear of the battle, no Coyote forces near them. He opened fire and 40 missiles streaked in an arc. at Mastermind's forces.

As Daishi began to walk towards the battle, Wolf stopped for a second. Tapping a few keys on his PDAP, he created a small Super Mario coin in Daishi's open left hand.

Facing a security camera, he flipped to coin into the hole the mech had made in the wall.

"Sorry about the mess." Wolf said as he turned the mech and marched it towards the fight.

ooc: is it alright if Kaitlin comes out to play?

"Mastermind is getting better at programing" Coyote prime said. "But it sets a bad precedent if someone enters my lands and leaves with out my permision." A crown of fire appeared over his head. "I am the lord of these lands and I will not be sleighted so. Guys, track the signal and intercept. Let's find out why this girl is so important to Mastermind."

He turns back to Jade. "I'm sorry for the lack of organiztion right now, but what can you do."

OOC: Well, since I knocked her out with the M9 tranq, Katlin was logged out by Mastermind to keep Wolf from subduing her Cyber Self. Therefore she isn't exactly able to be logged back in unless Mastermind chooses to do so...which he wouldn't because we're hopefully going to smash his confused attack force into pieces. But you can trace the signal and at least figure out the particulars as to why Mastermind seeks to make life hell for Wolf through her. (I'll PM you the deeper details.) However...I think Mastermind wouldn't be too happy with his Agents right about now...

BIC: IMBICILES!" Mastermind roared at the four agents. "You all got your asses handed to you. Smith and Jackson, you got killed by Angel while he was in an insane rage. Thompson and Johnson, you got killed by Mr. MacKenzie. DON'T TRY TO BALME BRITTNEY SPEARS FOR THIS!!! You also failed to kill Jason MacKenzie, and he once again managed to thwart my plans to crush his will...and he forced me to log out Katlin Vong."

"So you're saying we should terminate Katlin then?"

"NO! Her being alive is the only thing keeping MacKenzie from becoming an unstoppable force that not even Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 1 could be. I have a better idea. If there's anything to be learned from this...it's never send a human to do an AI's work. I'm sending you four back in there. Take command...kill everyone.

"It shall be as you wish"

OOC:They're baack!

The agents reappeared. just outside of the Coyote property.

"Kiss the ground." Sarge said to the agents. In his hand he held a ball of pure chaos energy.

next to him a ninja Coyote stood weilding a sword of chaos. The agents had arrived in a trap. The soldier clones had them surronded.

Smith sneered.

OOC: Well see now all my plans are shot. You would have seen what that pistol could have done if you hadn't logged Kaitlin off, and Angel hadn't killed the Agents, I was going to have their heads grow back.

BIC: "Hmm...you're not so bad to have around Coyote. Your clones to a mean job at deleting Mastermind's forces. Now would you please let me out of here so I can go help?"

OOC In response to Wolf's waiting for Dive to say something, I had made a post right before the chapter change. I'd repost it but now I'm completely lost as to what's going on. I want to join in but I keep being left in the dust. :(

"They're not deleting them. just moving them about and subduing them." Coyote said. The crown of flame disappeared.

"We have business to discuss. I'll turn the monitors off if it's a distraction to you. I only have them on for appearances."
