[Noble 6]

(OOC I think Outerlimits wanted me to do this like this, im not sure though....lol...otherwise ill delete it)


"Well then kiddo,..draw!" Clear drwas his pistols but Maverik fires his off first, the bullets aimed for his guns, but Clear deflected them with the blades attached to the end of each gun. The man fires again, and Clear jumps over him using a flip. He landed in the middle of Maveriks crew. He landed on the crew to be in fact. Clear rested on the shoulders of the enemy.

From his Right hand a knife had cleared his glove and traced his lower arm up, past his elbow. The razor sharp edge rested against Maveriks jugular vein. Any sudden movement would cause the blade to cut it. His black revolver, in his right hand, was aimed at Willace, to his left. and his white revolver, in his left hand, was aimed at Sierra, to his right. His left leg was balanced on one of Maveriks other men. The TMP's barrel was touching one of his teeth. His other leg was floating in space, moving back and forth between the other men in his group.

"I say I win." Clear said with another smile, and a wink at Sierra.
That's when he felt the gun pressed aginst his throat.

"I think it be a tie." Maverik said.

Deus rejoins the groups "I leave for five minutes and chaos ensues...." he hops down from, Geoffrey "I told you I could do it...." he stops playing and watches Geoffrey carefully. The beast just blinks a bit, and walks away to eat. Deus pulls out his cell phone and checks the time "The crew should be getting here soon....the Highwind is one of the fastest airships in the world." he says with a touch of pride in is voice "If you need a ride anywhere, we'd be happy to take you mates."

((OOC: Well, that wasn't EXACTLY what I was thinking, since I didn't really want anyone else to get involved, but it works nonetheless. Good show High Mage! ))

Sierra spat at the ground in disgust as the rest of the gang drew their weapons. "Involving others when a man challenges you to a duel, how dishonorable!" Quickly she kicked away Clear's arm off of Maverick's neck and with the other leg roundhoused him onto the ground, making him roll over a few times in the sand. "Hmph, Deus was right, that did feel pretty good. No wonder so many women do it to you."

Maverick lowered his Peacemaker and sighed at Sierra. "I didn't ask you to get involved Sierra. We were at a stalemate."
"I don't care about whether it was a stalemate or an overkill, if you two are gonna fight, it should at least be fair!" Glaring at Maverick, she then snapped, "Like you should be going and picking fights 'cause of me now anyways! I'm not 15 anymore Maverick, I'm 24!"
Maverick back away and held up his hands. "Now now Sierra, thats not what I-"
"Bullshit it ain't! That man obviously is a trained professional at killing people! You could get hurt!" Looking over Maverick shoulder, she then commented grimly, "It looks you might still as well."
"Huh?" Turning around, Maverick saw Clear get up and aim his pistols right at him.

[Noble 6]

He smiled, "I like your style girlie. But you'll need alot more power than that to hurt me" He spun his pistols, then holstered them in a flashy over the top mannor.
"He turned to the boss. "SIr...yoou really shouldn't just let anyone into the ship. I mean...c'mon...they could be spies for all we know..but...why do i bother..Aye aye cap."

"We can have a one on one later. For now...just dont touch anything...if your comin along. Also...I'd check that cut in your neck...its gonna open in about three two...one.."blood squirted from Maveriks neck.
"Good thing I missed the Vein." he said with a smirk.

[outerlimits]

Maverick quickly put his hand over the wound to stem the blood as a shocked expression came to his face.
"Maverick!," Sierra cried out in surprise.
"I'll be fine, just get me something from one of the medkits!," he replied, trying to calm her.
She quickly ran and got some bandages and a Crytec Brand Potion(TM).((OOC: Potions! Guaranteed to restore your HP or your money back!)) "Here, quick, use these!"
Snatching the bandage and Potion(TM), Maverick applied the medicine and bandaged up his neck. Handing back the half used bottle, he muttered, "Thanks..."
Sierra then scolded him, saying, "See, now this is what I'm talking about! He's right, you should be glad he missed the vein in there!"
Maverick scowled. He hated when he got yelled at...and when he knew she was right.

Willace ackwardly approached Maverick. "Er, boss, you ok?," he questioned.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Glaring at Clear, he said, "Oh don't you worry, we'll have a rematch. That's for sure. But," then facing Deus, "I'm afraid I can't just go and abandon my home and its people to join...whatever cause it is you fight for." Relaxing his posture, he sighed. "We've tried to stay out of the whole Crytec-Nachtbaron conflict. There's too many troubles round these parts to send off men to fight." Shaking his head, he commented, "No, I'm sorry, but until we find some way to make things safe around here or secure a new home for everyone, our place is to stay here and do our part." Looking at the Wild Saurian next to Deus, he laughed out loud. "Well I'll be, you managed to tame one after all!"

[Noble 6]

"Fine, don't send men,...send Sierra. She seems ta be the leader of your group. We can sout out a new local like.....and...get ta know each other better." his voice was low and soft at the same time. His actual Firstmate attitude had kicked in.

[outerlimits]

Sierra was surprised by the change in Clear's attitude. Still, she didn't trust him.
Maverick looked back at Clear. "Where ever she goes, I go. Besides, she's not the leader of this gang." Putting his arm over her shoulders, he smiled. "We're partners."
Sierra smiled back. Maverick may not like being let out of the spotlight, but he was never one to steal it either.

[Noble 6]

"I see well do what you want. Captain..after you then sir." Cleae said without another thought. then suddenly he stopped.
He stared at Sierra and threw her a small headset connected to a cellphone.
"If you change your mind Sierra, the invites open to anyone..in your group...but.." he winked at her and smiled his world renowned lady killer smile. Most girls became jello in his hands afterwards. His teeth shown white in the light fom the sun.
He made a rose appear in his hand, and threw it at her. The Rose latched in place behind her right earand pulled her hair back slightly.
"Don't hide your face...let the world see it, its breath taking."

[outerlimits]

Sierra blushed a bright red. Spinning around and snatching the rose out from behind her ear, she mumbled, "Sh-shut up..."
Maverick got angry again at this latest act of his. "If she does come, expect me to be with her, ready to kick your ass!" How dare Clear go and make such a reaction in Sierra when he had been working towards being with her his whole life!

[Noble 6]

Clear smiled as he noticed Maveriks mood. He loved people who got annoyed when he messed with their women. He threw her another smile and then stared at Deus.

[Inkshade]

Deus sighs "Oh Clear....when will you learn?" he looks at Maverick and his group "Well, It was a sincere pleasure to meet all of-" he stops because his phone begin to ring. he picks it up "Yes?........" he gasps and his eyes open wide "What?! How?......No.......ok, thank you for calling." he hangs up "Damn it!" he kicks the sand and looks at Clear "That was headquarters. Crytec destroyed the Geno Crystal." he says "They used one of their monstrocities, our only agent there was Aurik, and he had to protect civilians, the creature destroyed the Crystal before he had the chance to stop it." he says saddly

[outerlimits]

"A-a Crystal?!," said Sierra. "Is that what Crytec is doing? Destroying the life sources of our planet?" Even the power of the crystals had reached the heads of the people who lived in these parts. After all, crystals powered their machines...and their weaponry.

[Inkshade]

"Yes, it's why the Nachtbarons fight them. Because we oppose them, they label us as terrorists. We tried diplomacy, it didn't work." Deus says "They've just recently started destroying crystals, this is the second. There was another....around twenty years ago, a little less I think. It was in a remote area, no one knew. There was an entire war the was covered up by Crytec you know." he says getting a bit more passonate sounding. That war had effected him personally, he wanted people to know about it.

[outerlimits]

((OOC: Yeah, I think I'll make a bio for Willace. He's just too epic to leave as a secondary Also, I'm surprised I didn't get and "lols" from the Potion(TM) thing I did a few posts ago...))

"That's awful!," said Sierra. Facing Maverick, she stated flatly, "We have to go and help them if Crytec is going around messing with the planet."
Maverick was shocked at her sudden heel face turn. "What, but, we can't just leave everyone here defenseless!"
"Then just leave the gang to protect them. They're all skilled fighters, they can get the job done. Besides, you know we haven't had any serious bandits since "Snake Eyes".
"I...I dunno Sierra. It just doesn't sit right with me to all of a sudden up and leave because two strangers show up with some random cause and-"
"It ain't random you dumbass!," she yells at Maverick. Growing impatient, she says to him, "Do you really just want to stay around here the rest of your life, fighting bandits and hunting monsters? Cause that's not what I want to do! I want to do something important, something people will remember me for!" She sighs and looks down. "Something to set me different from everyone else..."
Maverick looks at her sadly. "You are different Sierra. There ain't no one else in the whole world like you."
Sierra then stares fiercely at his eyes. "Then prove it. Come with me and prove that you and me are different, are unique, are special."

Maverick bit his bottom lip. It was a tough choice. He loved his hometown area around here and the people in it. But...he loved Sierra too. He could just let her go and walk out of his life, not if he hadn't done anything so horrible he didn't deserve her anymore. And letting her just go now would be that horrible. Still...
"Err...Boss," Willace piped in suddenly, "Not to, uh, interrupt or nothin', but I thought you might like to know something else I saw when I saw them bandits earlier."
"Ugh, what Willace? What'd ya see?," Maverick said back with annoyance.
"Um, I don't know if I'm right or not, since I never really knew the man, but I think I saw someone that looked...well, he looked sort of like that picture of your father that you keep lying around at your house back in Backwater."

Anxiety struck Willace like a train hitting a jack rabbit. His father? Impossible! Willace had seen his dad die himself! He had buried the body!
"Wh-what'ya talkin about Willace!?! My father's dead!"
"I'm just saying what I saw sir. And, now don't get angry please, cuz I'm not making this up, but he had on a holster that gun you were always talking about, the...erm...the-"
"The Street Sweeper...," Maverick whispered, finishing Willace's sentence. It had been lost back when his father had died 15 years ago, and no one had known where it went. "Only dad could have that..." It then struck Maverick, a simple, honest fact that gave him another reason why he should go: The only man here that could've seen the man Willace was talking about is Clear.
"Dammit.," Maverick cursed under his breath. Then, facing back to Sierra, he said, "Well Sierra, you know I can't just let you go anywhere alone. I'm too stubborn and I love ya too much for that." Flashing her one of his smiles she knew real well, he said, "You can count me in if you're going!"

((OOC: Agh, that was a lot longer than I thought it would be T.T))

[Inkshade]

"Well, you are welcome aboard the Highwind." Deus nods "Hmmmm...so...your father went missing? How long ago exactally?" he asks and looks up "ah, it can wait, heres the ship." he smiles as the Highwind comes into view. he pulls out his phone and presses a single button "Yes we're down here, with guests.....I realize that...you do know that no matter how much you yell at me I'll still do it?....Yes, and I blame myself....Right, bring her down then." he hangs up. "So then....who's all coming?" he asks the group
