Only a few miles...

Leos said as he walked around.

...How many miles do you think it is exactly?

Leos was thinking of something...

OOC; sorry I have'nt posted recently, I couldn't get hold of a computer.

"I could fly her, just tell me the direction and the distance," Ryel said as he stretched his wings to their full length. "I might also need to know er weight. If she's to heavy, I might drop her about halfway through the flight."

Rijhada wavered into conciousness. Were they talking about her? HEAVY! She would have killed him if it weren't for her condition. She heard Ryak reply: "Well she's not that heavy--" With all her strength she kicked him in the shin. "Oww! I mean she is not heavy at all.... Anyway I'd estimate 8 Km. give or take a few...." His voice trailed off as he noticed the sillouette in the distance. "That's strange... my map says it is still a while away." Disgruntled he took off his cap and scratched his head.

Gray sighed and pulled a bottle of slightly glowing, blue liquid out of his back pocket. He knew that we weren't going anywhere without Rihjada so he waked briskly over to her, uncorked the bottle and dumped the contents onto her wound. It started sizzling and it probably hurt a bit.

"Here, you don't even have to thank me, thats my last bottle of metabolic enhancer fluid." He sighed. "Recover quickly now, so we can get out of this dump." He kicked the side of the wreck.

Rijhada winced as the liquid stung the broken flesh. The pain was slight, but it seemed to fill her with energy thricefold. She got up on her knees, her eyes resisting into focus. She looked out into the distance, the city looking bleak in the twilight. "We have about a day or two's walk ahead of us, we'd better get going. Ryak you stay here in case our tracker went off, and you'd better stay alive. As for the rest of us we can take care of getting back when we reach the city. Remember this mission is reconosince only, we would do well to avoid fights. She stood and swayed almost falling back on the rubber floor.

Avoid fights... well that is no fun

Leos said as he followed behind.

Rijhada caught herself and stepped wearily outside. She undid the latch on the side of the plane and pulled out three of what looked like barless scooters and three matching clumps of metal. The metal fit smoothly on the flat surface and folded out into a motercycle body. "Collapsable Hydrogen Vehicles. There are only three here so we will have to double up. Understood?"

Jadrian chuckled at Leos.

"I remember the last fight we were in together. that wasn't a fight, it was a massacre. Im sure we dont want that here."

THen he heard the women and frowned. Double up? He shook his head

"Im not sure that one of these could hold my weight, much less two people bigger then I am.

She smiled openly. "You'd be surprized. These are made of a special kind of metal, stainless steel, reinforced with an ore found only under antartican ice. Besides, if you still think you're too heavy I am sure Ryel can fly himself....

Leos laid down on his stomach and took up his favorite snipping position. Even though they were far away from the city, he could see into the city perfectly. Already he could see signs of possibly hostile incounters.

I can see 5 possibly hostile incounters. Two AK47s, two M4s, and one M240. Should I take them out?

Rijhada opened her telescope and looked closly, "I don't think that will be necessary. They are flying a mexican flag. I am pretty sure we have a Mexican authorization code." She flipped on the radio. "Ryak, these things work?"
"Loud and clear, my lady."
She scowled. "Yellow bird is in the village."
"Roger that."
"He is sending out a distress signal, we are now a lost English reconosince team. Better get an accent, chaps."

I don't do accents, besides I am a sniper I will be more use to all of you from far away.

Leos replyed

"Well you can follow behind then, but you will have to follow us into the city..... We have to go to the Space Center after all.

Grey and I will take the lead and and Ryel and Jadrian will follow. Leos can come up behind as a long-distance backup." (OOC: Mexicans and british are allies.) She mounted the bike. "Come on Grey we don't have all day." She spoke with a smile, a rarity.

Alright, I can see a very tall building were I will be able to see the intire city. I will set up there.

Leos said while he was still scoping the place out.

Gray glumly got behind Rihjada.

"Hmph, the only reason I'm doing this is to get out of this dump. But thanks for the sentiments, sweetheart." he ended sarcastically.

Jadrian grinned.

"A bally accent? Jolly good, whatho, and all that, chaps. Bally on, we'll trick those bally Mehicans, wot wot?

After Gray's curt remark, she aptely replied: "Well, chap, I think that if you can't use a bally accent, then keep silent. I'd rather keep the peace, if you please." She started the moterbike and wrapped the helmet on her head. The almost silent vehicle whirred with energy. She accelerated and sped to the city.

*** Houston TX ***

The blockade streched the entire highway, with a lane for ally military vehicles. They sped up to the gate and she nodded to the guard. "Our plane was--" He held up his hand as a voice sounded on his radio. He waved for them to go and opened the road block. They were led down the narrow street through the military camp. Some frightend and otherwise gloomy faces filled the streets, but what was most deppressing was the dirty smog that fouled the air. So, that's what hit us.... She thought silently, as the idea dawned on her. They were being led slowly to a tent on a platform in the center of the camp. "Great," She whispered to herself. "An interigation..."

Once the team made it inside the city, Leos was able to sneak past the so called blockade. Once inside, Leos headed striaght towards the building he pointed out earlier. When he got to the top, he set up camp and got a lock on the group. From the looks of it, things were not going according to plan.

Hands-on turned to the nearest Mexican.

"Bally ho chaps, I say. Bally kidnapping and torture, against the treaty and all that, wot wot? Bad from chaps, very, very bad form. Tsk tsk."

OOC: sorry. couldnt resist. never can, actually.

Gray kept silent as he marched behind the group into the city when the got to a particularly large tent in the middle, the group stopped.

A soldier walked up to Gray and poked him in the back with a bayonet. Gray turned around and growled menacingly. The soldier took a step back but said. "Cual es tu nombre?"*

Gray ignored him. He got prodded in the back again. "Cual es tu nombre...por favor?"**

He turned around and grabbed the guy by the throat.
"No tocar, tocas me cuerpo, tu muerte, comprende?"***
=======================================
For the non-Spanish speakers:
* What is your name?
** What is your name...please?
*** No touching, you touch me, you die, understand?

John watched, then laughed again.

"No Bueno, no bueno. (I believe: no good, no good) Put him down chap, wot? We're all bally allies here, eh?"

OOC: Bally Allies..hmm...that has a nice ring to it.

Leos switched his scope to infrared. As soon as he did, he saw Gray about to kill a Mexican soldier.

Well the soldier was asking for it.

He said to himself.

Soon after, another soldier came out of a section of the tent and walked towards Rijhada. Apperently he was a high ranking soldier.

If things go sour, that is the first soldier that I will take out.

The man from the tent spit at us and said with a thick accent. "You brittish bastards have violated your treaty by comming here, this is OUR land now, you and your terrorists are not welcome here!. Your lives are forfit." The commander nodded to four guards and they raised their weapons. I hope Leos reached that building...

Jad hummed in a low voice; "Our guns, they are a'blazing", and looked at Rijhada expectantly.

OOC: Its a country song.

She slipped Quezacotl out of the gap between her wings, swiftly and silently shooting a mustashed soldier in the head. "Hit and run!" She shouted, and sliced a guard's throat with a claw. "Flee towards the city!" Dammit, She thought, I'll never live this down, blowing it like that!
