And Go Go Go!

Alex
“Jade...” He pushed through the crowd, and the madness, and pulled the terrified woman towards him, ducking her down behind the people to shield her from the shadows, and the horrific uber-beast in the middle. “I’m so sorry.”
“What for?” She managed to squeak, as an unearthly wind howled around the squealing crowd above. Stray locks of her hair blew upwards in the backdraft of something abominable sweeping by.
“... I never told you how nice you look tonight.”
Despite the extreme danger, instinct compelled her to try and kiss him – one of those ‘during the midst of this dire peril we’re still gonna kiss, even though we should be using every molecule of energy and wit to escape this terrible threat’ kisses, that you see in movies.
“I wouldn’t,” he warned, lifting a pragmatic chin up and out of reach. “I just spewed, behind that lot…” Through the legs of the nobles, he went to indicate the group behind whose legs he’d thrown up.
But they’d disappeared.
Really… Disappeared.
At Jade’s frightened face, he swallowed and scowled, his distantly anguished eyes drunk, weary, yet filled with a no-nonsense confidence.
“Don’t worry” he told her, “we’re gonna get outta this.”

Anubis
Anubis ran around the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ to where Ra once stood on the sacrificial alter. Anubis quickly searched the area till he stopped and smiled as he saw a staff. The five foot long staff was made of gold and in the shape of long clawed arm holding a clear red orb with the “Eye symbol of Ra” inside orb. Anubis quickly picked up the staff and ran to the large gate wheel nearby. He examined the symbols on the gate and began reading them. Once he found he stood up and looked on the ground for another set of symbols. After Anubis found the symbol he was looking for he took the staff and stabbed it into the small hole in the symbol and aligned the orbs eye to face the gate. Then Anubis ran to the gate and began pushing a long sequence of symbols on the dial pad. After he was done the gate slowly began powering up. Anubis then picked up his energy battle staff and prepared to defend the gate as it slowly powered up.

Jaxx and Evelina
Jaxx and Evelina were running through the crowd trying to find the other dwarfers through the panicked crowd being chased by the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’. Evelina pointed as she said, “Jaxx I think I see Jade and Alex over there.” Jaxx looked where Evelina was pointing and quickly saw Alex holding Jade. Jaxx then made it a point to barrel over everyone in his way to help his fellow crewmates as Evelina followed him closely. The ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ was on a collision course with Jade and Alex as they sat in fear. Jaxx said, “Eve babe get them to Anubis dude on the alter. I’ll distract that monster for as long as I can.” Evelina tried to protest but Jaxx moved quickly out of her reach and towards the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’. Evelina used her headset to say, “Remember your promise.” Jaxx used his headset to reply, “I know Eve babe.”

Evelina ran to get Alex and Jade to lead them to Anubis. As Evelina shook them back into reality they soon realized they were still alive and began to follow Evelina. Along the way Evelina found Jacky who hurt his leg being run over by the panicked mob. As the four made their way around to Anubis, Jaxx ran at the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ with holowhips drawn at max setting. Jaxx stopped short of the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ and lashed the creature with a barrage of lashes. The ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ lost its control and crashed into the ground. Jaxx didn’t let up as he continued his lash attack on the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’. Though it was not doing any real damage the holowhips seemed to hurt the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’. (Perhaps it was they way they were made or a weakness in the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ body.) The ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ rolled away from Jaxx to put some distance between them.

Jaxx tried to advance his attack only to see the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ take a deep breath and spit part of a stone column at him. Jaxx saw the column and muttered, “Not cool man.” As he quickly dodge the stone column just in time. Jaxx found himself in trouble as the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ began spitting out large random objects such as carts, stones, statues, treasures, weapons, toilets, sinks, and parts of space ships. Jaxx was getting tired as he had to dodge large debris non-stop. However, Jaxx’s luck eventually ran out as the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ caught him with a golden bidet to the chest.

As Jaxx was sent backwards to the hot sand he knew he had broken several ribs and punctured his lungs. The ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ slowly approached Jaxx as he pushed the golden bidet off his chest. Jaxx sat up on his knees and struggled to breath. From the corner of his eyes he saw Evelina with Alex, Jade and Jackey by Anubis. Jaxx smiled as blood trickled from his lips as he thought, “They totally made it. Now like what am I gonna do about the tall dark and ugly dude.” As the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ approached Jaxx looked at Evelina and then his med pouch as he thought, “I guess I am out of options.” Jaxx opened his med pouch and pulled out two syringes of MACO juice before closing it. Evelina yelled on her headset, “Jaxx get up! Run away! Get out of there PLEASE!” Jaxx looked at Evelina then he flipped up his visor and looked at the purple cocktail of steroids in his hand as he thought, “This is so gonna hurt,” as he stabbed his tongue with both syringes and injected the serum into his mouth. The serum burned as it coursed through his neck and down his body.

Jaxx’s body began to tremble as his body was repairing itself in overdrive. Jaxx was having trouble with his senses as they fluctuating randomly. The ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ stood smiling before the wounded Jaxx as about to devour him when it was shot in the back by and energy blast from Anubis. Anubis then proceeded to shoot the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ repeatedly. The ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ did not seem to like energy attacks as he lost its focus on Jaxx who regained his health back. Jaxx stared at the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ with his black eyes and dark grin as he quickly resumed his now amplified lash attack. Jaxx was now moving three times his normal speed and quickly got the upperhand on the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’.

Anubis stopped firing as he said, “You fool you know better than that.” Evelina looked at Anubis and asked, “What are you talking about?” Anubis replied, “Your Jaxx doubled his dose of MACO juice.” Evelina said, “You mean the purple medicine? What happens if he take more than one?” Anubis opened his helmet and looked at Evelina with his black eyes and shark teeth and replied, “It increases your battle skills at the price of a shorter life span and possible death.” Evelina was shocked by this news as she said, “We need to help him.” Anubis said, “I know but we can’t do anything till the ‘Dark Nothing-Eyes’ is defeated. I set the gate to absorb them but it will take time to power up the gate and I don’t know if we can stall them that long.”
