The World of Mobius has broken into a bloody and savage war.  The rivalry and hatred of the Overlander Nations and the Kingdom of Acorn has boiled over.  Mobians and Overlanders take arms against one another in a War that will forever shape Mobius’s History. 

And you are right in the middle of it.  Will you and your name rise to glory or will you die alone in the mud?  Shall you defend your homeland with honor, or sell your sword to the highest bidder?  

 

The choice is yours,

but the Fate of Mobius rests in your hands....

 

-Inertia-

[Temporarily on hold until a minor detail is worked out]

 

-Dirge-

[Dirge is hopping along through what once was a beautiful field, but is now nothing more than charred earth because of the recent battle that scarred it.  Abandoned weapons and bodies are left across the landscape, mostly Mobian.  The more advanced Overlanders claimed victory today.  Ahead lies s smoldering tent that once acted as HQ for the Mobian forces.]

 

-Davis-

[Davis is seated at a desk, pondering over some maps that supposedly show the movement of the Overlander forces in the area.  Problems is, according to the maps, he's passed right through the enemy lands without any sign of their forces.  As he's pondering this dilemma, he hears a voice clear their throat at the entrance of his tent]

 

-Sam-

[Sam is currently stationed at Castle Acorn.  Guards constantly patrol the castle grounds, and there seems to never be time for anyone to rest.  Sam has been tasked the "great honor" of keep watch on the Royal Family.  As important as the role seems, it's also the dullest as yet no danger has ever made it this far.  The Honor Guard sees to that.  Speaking of whom, Sam needs to report to the Honor Guard Commander for an Update on the situation....which usually always report "All Clear". ]

[Uncle Ben]

Davis: Something aint right... *turns around to see who entered his tent*

 

Sam *sighs* Its not like anyone has gotten this far.... *Sam goes and finds the commander*

[Raven]

Dirge stops and feeds on a few bodies, rapidly disposing of the fallen. In the matter of ten minutes, he has managed to consume all of the dead. The fleshy gash in his right thigh quickly seals up, his body balloons into a more healthy form as opposed to the shriveled form he once was, and his skin turns form a sickly green into a more pale skin tone, resembling a man who doesn't see the light of day rather than a corpse. 

[RedAuthar]

-Dirge-

[Dirge can now feel how hot the day actually is.  It's rather blazing out.  To the north there seems to be an encampment, survivors from the battle perhaps.  Westward is the valley, perhaps the losers of the battle retreated through there.  Alternatively He could continue onward in any random direction he chooses.]

 

-Sam-

[The Commander's room is being blocked by a member of the Honor Guard Flirting with the Commander's Secretary.]

 

-Davis-

[Davis's Lt Morgan is at the entrance.]

Lt. Morgan: Sir, you have a visitor.

[Uncle Ben]

*Sam facepalms* Can i just get go see the commander.

 

Davis: Who? Bring them in

[Raven]

Dirge decides to check out the encampment out of curiosity. He hops over and right on in, meaning no harm, considering that he just finished a huge meal, he's far more curious than hungry, so he shows no hostility.

[RedAuthar]

-Sam-

Honor Guard:  Wait your turn...

Secretary:  Hold on, let me let the Commander know you're here.

[As she buzzes Sam in, the Honor Guard Glares Sam down.]

 

-Davis-

[Morgan stands aside and General Rausk, a large Rhino, marches in.]

Rausk:  Ah, Davis, how are you today?

 

-Dirge-

[Dirge is quickly surrounded by armed Overlanders.  One of there NCOs steps forward]

NCO: Where'd you come from? 

[Raven]

Dirge glances over at the NCO, looking him down. He opens his mouth to speak, but only a choking noise comes out. Dirge seems perplexed, attempting to speak a few more times with the same results. Clutching his throat, he notices a sizable lump, this letting him know the source of the problem. Opening his jaw wide, exposing his razor sharp teeth, he reaches down his throat and grabs hold of the obstruction, yanking out a rather large chunk of a rib bone with some flesh still attached. Dirge examines the bone before discarding it behind him.

 

"I... mean... no... harm." Dirge says in a very raspy, throaty, labored voice, his throat having been severely torn when he yanked out the bone.

[Uncle Ben]

*Sam stairs back being unfazed by the commander*

 

Davis: S.S.D.D. just trying to figure out a point where i can break through these guys and give us a break and to swing momentum... no luck thus far.

[RedAuthar]

-Dirge- 

[The Overlanders just stare at him for a moment.  The NCO is about to order the troops to open fire but and Officer halts the action]

Officer:  Who are you? 

 

-Sam-

[The Commander's office is rather nice.  The carpets are well cleaned and plaques covered with Medals and Achievements cover the walls.]

Honor Guard Commander:  Well?

 

-Davis-

Rousk: ....you do know you're already past enemy lines correct?
 

-INERTIA-

[Inertia is currently on a job in an old warehouse formally owned by G.U.N.  The warehouse was supposedly abandoned and during a battle leaving much equipment behind.  However for some unknown reason, power is being diverted to the warehouse.  Inertia was hired to find out what was going on there, and if needed, to destroy the warehouse and its contents.  He has just slipped in through a window on the "third floor", more accurately scaffolding that acts as a third floor.]

[Uncle Ben]

Sam: I came to check for updates...

 

Davis: Yes i'm just testing you. I need to figure out the next course of action... You have anything for me

[Raven]

"I... Answer... To... Dirge..." Dirge says in a labored voice. 

 

 

Inertia lands softly without a sound, surprisingly, considering the fact that he is a rather heavy robot. "Unit: Inertia- Beginning Mission." He says quietly to himself, his audio and video feeds being recorded.

[RedAuthar]

-Dirge-

Officer:  Now...what are you?

 

-Sam-

Commander:  We have word of a suspicious mobian attempting to make contact with the King earlier today.  Normally this wouldn't be an issue...except nobody knows where they came from or where they went afterwards.  They simply just vanished.

 

-Inertia-

[Instantly Inertia can sense the fragility of the old scaffolding, it's barely holding his weight at all.  There's a nearby ladder that will take him to a lower floor, if it can hold his weight.  He could jump as well...but considering how fragile everything seems that might now work out for the best.]

 

Rousk:  I want you're boys to hold the line here for the time being.  We're a bit short on supplies near the front, and we'd like to take this opportunity to resupply are forces.  However that means you'll be on your own for bit.  

[Uncle Ben]

Sam: Vanished?? Has to be a magic user. Any details you can give.

 

Davis: *sighs* As long as i can get these guys home safely at the end of all this... We will stay. I will need up to date reports on enemy movement

[RedAuthar]

-Sam-

Commander:  No, I unfortunately have none more than what I have given.  None of the witness's stories match up enough for any solid evidence.  The only thing they agree upon is the mobian demanded to see the king, and then simply vanished afterwards.

 

-Davis-

Rousk:  Easier said then done.  But I'll see to it you're not left in the dark. 

[Uncle Ben]

Sam- Do we have a description at least??

 

Davis- Thank you. Could we get a drop as well?

[Raven]

"Jiangshi." Replies Dirge.

 

 

Inertia decides to take the ladder and take his time, stepping gently while activating the thrusters on his shoulders, lightening the load on the ladder while remaining quiet.

[RedAuthar]

-Dirge-

Officer: ...a what?

NCO: It's a Zombie sir.

Officer: Oh.

[Thinks that over for a minute]

Officer:  What do you want?

 

-Inertia-

[Even with the thrusters, Inertia can feel the ladder wobble because of his weight.  It's very old and quite rusted, so much so that Inertia is sure it was this bad BEFORE the place was abandoned.  He reaches the second floor...only to discover there is none.  The ladder just ends.  There's a huge container just a ways off that is just at the right height to be the "second floor".  The jump would be no trouble for Inertia and the container looks strong enough.]

 

-Sam-

Commander:  We have about 7 descriptions.  Male mobian wearing a cloak with a hood.  Male mobian wearing trenchcoat.  Female mobian wearing trenchcoat and fedora.  Female Mobian wearing hooded parka.  They're not even good descriptions.  But you have to find them and find out what's going on BEFORE they meet with the King.  I don't have to tell you that, as a secret service member, that's your job.  If you need my men to do anything let me know and I'll see what I can do.

 

-Davis-

Rousk:  You think I'd leave you hanging?  We don't have much but I can at least keep your boys bellies fill for a while.  Unfortunately that's about all we can do.  You don't have any wounded luckily, but we don't have much medical supplies so try to keep it that way.  

[Uncle Ben]

Sam: Have your men bring the people who have seen this person to a sketch artist. Perhaps by having a drawing we can point out similarities and go from there.

 

Davis: I'll do my best as always.

[Raven]

Dirge just shrugs, not even he knows what he wants, he just wanders aimlessly.

 

Inertia drops from the ladder and lands on the container with minimal sound before checking his surroundings.
