Liam is where now? (Open)

[Revi Balalaika]

Revi had walked a long way many days and he followed the directions frequently checking road signs for where to go, and now.. now where the hell was he? In an area left snow blind wandering through to where this shack would be the underground entrance was it? Whatever it had been it was taking time not as much time as usual maybe Revi was getting a hang of this navigation stuff... maybe.

Ah solitude though he never really got totalk to anyone since his last run in with people solitude was it so nice? Maybe maybe not for now he had to keep going through the cold snows bite trees all over why was it so snowy it didn't seem the season odd how did this weather work? He knew not so much he never got to learn in that lab so many memories he could have had instead of the ones there, but now he had a purpose.

Perhaps he should have made his mission less around himself maybe save the others like him, but that he could still do after this. And as his mind was going to trail more he saw a faint figure the shack eh was told of that had to be it, and of course it was. He steadily progressed towards it to get inside and continue into the Estate or compound or whatever it was and to get to Liam.

[Liam A. MacArthur V]

Montana had been the perfect place to conduct his own brand of research that differentiated itself from the rest of the company, for the fact that the experiments conducted were for sheer enjoyment. Just like the research findings during his time with Dr. Wirth and the Nazis, the power users that were subjected to all environmental variants held up similar to the 'cattle' he used during WWII. The main difference being that their abilities sometimes prolonged their lives and sometimes it just made the death that much quicker and tastier "So what do we have here? Thirty-five year old caucasian male who's height originally stood at six foot two and then five foot one after amputation, his food intake was limited to one meal everyday and only oatmeal. Subject was picked up outside a diner in Tucson, AZ after witnesses described him emitting a strange glow that seemed to bend objects at random distances...a telekinetic it later turned out. The brain was harvested after injection of chloroform directly into subjects heart was administered and then sent down to this lab where tissue samples were taken."

Liam MacArthur turned the tape recorder off and went back to observing the brain tissue under the microscope, already the serum had started to take effect binding itself to the dead neurons and pulling them into activity once more. One by one they started to fire as the new information they held passed itself along the chain of brain cells within the tiny brain specimen "Computer, please open the maintenance tunnel entrance on the surface and allow our friend Mr. Balalaika admittance to this facility, i think you should leave signs pointing to my location seeing as the man appears to be an idiot." His eyes shifted from the lenses of the microscope to the computer monitor which showed the younger man on the surface near the shack, he had been tracking the fool since he entered the facility's perimeter. Liam could tell a man with a purpose and knowing that everyone stood well clear of this place lead the ancient man to believe that Revi was out for some good old fashioned revenge, now all that was left was to find out whether it was for Revi's incarceration or the experiments done to him.

[Revi Balalaika]

Revi was more then mildly pissed, but just as he was about to throw a shit storm of things at this place to get in, he was greeted warmly with an open door policy, and he smiled the crazy bastard he had become from well all his life's moments. Revi let out a light bit of laughter, and went to walk in grabbing what looked to be a spaded shovel and slung it over his shoulder "Thank you Liam I appreciate the warm welcome... and this shovel I believe it is mine now.. possession is nine tenths the law ain't it?" He said mocking he knew as much as the fact of there being surveilence all focused on him.

Revi began to trot into the place seeing lit up signs ah the man was good he knew Revi's more then likely ability to get lost and make a wrong turn, but why did he feel so confident as to being able to just lead Revi there. That angered Revi made him lose his happy persona that just vaguely came to the surface, and he began to run. Run full speed Revi you can get there you know you can, and he did heeding each the signs until he got to a closed door and lowered a shoulder running flat into it. Ah Revi that was not smart man that door is locked and sheer steel or something hows your shoulder? Broken is it? well that's a shame get back up bro. And Revi did grunting as his shoulder popped and fixed itself into place, and he picked up his yes shovel HIS shovel. And he stood there waiting for the door to open.

[Liam A. MacArthur V]

Anyone else would have given some outward expression of frustration at the idiot on his computer screen, the man sitting in his highbacked leather chair only took his gaze away from the image to glance at his clock knowing that he was cutting things close. Liam's attention was once again caught when the door to his office gave a visible shudder and from the image on his screen it appeared that Revi had slammed into the steel door "You only had to knock Mr. Balalaika and i would have been more than happy to open my doors to you." he said as he pressed down the intercom button on his chair. His aged fingers shifted slightly depressing another switch to allow the lock on the door the disengage, and with a grace that spoke of years of ease he walked over to the bar setup on the side of his office. "You will forgive me if i don't offer you a drink as i find it in poor taste to offer someone coming to kill me my best scotch, and as a fair warning i must inform you that any action perceived as a threat to me will be met with swift a counter action. Regeneration or not i will kill you." His eyes shifted from Revi to the drink in his hand and then to his pocketwatch in the other, with little concern for the other man Liam walked over to another chair and sat to await for whatever Revi had planned.

As the two men sat in Liam's office, the ancient man's plan was coming into it's final stages as the environmental systems of sub-basement 9 came online and awakened the inhabitants within it's walls. The truth of Liam MacArthur was soon to be revealed to the world once he had the key to his plans back within his clutches, he had unfortunately acted brashly and sent his grandchild into the battlefield with the intention to gather live battle data for Helios. Now as the creatures stirred to life deep within the facility a heavy evil presence descended upon the complex and it's surrounding lands, with a shudder that ran throughout the facility the games had begun.

[Revi Balalaika]

Revi tilted his head the mans words struck his ears and he grind "Neeeh?" He let out a sound of disbelieving confusion he didn't just say he would kill Revi no one could it was impossible, and those thoughts gave the man pride in himself as an unkillable force. Impregnable unstoppable and most of all unbeatable, and he took a step forward eyes ablaze in fury smile wider then before "Oh Liam you are in no spot to make a threat you decrepit old fool.. I will kill you once for taking away much of my life in that cage, and I will find a doctor in this shit hole to revive you so I can kill you a second time for the experiments, and after that for good measure so you know how pissed I am I will find one more way to get you revived so I can kill you a third and final time for the god damn nightmares from being in that cold place, and the wrongs I had endured that lay in those nightmares!" He yelled out chest rising and falling in big quakes from lack of air.

He then nodded, and lowered the right shoulder a spike slowly piercing through it curved and pointed about a foot long expanding from a sharp tip into his shoulder where it was six inches wide. He then kicked off running full speed shoulder aimed not for the chest no the heart was not a spot he wanted for the stomach slow painful and he would most of all be conscious and living through it.

[Liam A. MacArthur V]

Liam MacArthur threw down his glass letting it shatter upon the stone floor and opened his arms wide to give Revi a clear shot at himself, but before the bone manipulator could strike the ancient man a portal opened up behind his target pulling Liam inside. The room was left in unnatural silence as the portal closed in on itself and quickly as it closed the portal reappeared on the other side of the room "My wasn't that a show of bravado Mr. Balalaika. I will be most interested to see what else you pull out of your hat, though should i grow tired i will let another of my associates have the pleasure of killing you." Revi's target walked slowly out of the swirling portal along with Cronus behind him, the new individual was covered in a metal like substance and bore no emotion on his face nor within his whiter than light eyes. "Oh, you must have known that i would never go into a situation without having a little backup correct? Now since we have reached a stalemate as i can retreat into a portal quicker than you can attack, i would like to know a few things from you...like the location of my grandchild and do not lie to me."

The older man was anything but unprepared and from all the years he had walked upon this planet he had learned one thing, all men were predictable. Given a chance for revenge they would become consumed in the blood rage and forget about more important things, like exits and anyone else that could be hiding in the wood works. Liam had heavily relied on Revi giving into his rage to miss the most obvious of things and his gamble had worked "Accept the fact that you left yourself open to any attack by giving into the blood rage and regeneration aside, if i had incapacitated you then you would have woken up to another of our all white holding cells. Kind of like a deja vu experience right? Now give me what i need to know."

[Revi Balalaika]

Revi groaned and tilted his head angrily as he felt himself go through where Liam was "Haaa?" He let out in disbelief. That Josh fella would need a talk to about explaining others powers, but in the mean time where did Liam go was his main question. But it was answered for him, and Liam was on the other side of the room walking out one of the portal. there was a rather different looking man with him, and Revi assumed that he was the source of the portal, and so his gears worked thinking as Liam spoke he was not so far gone he always had thought always in these times.

He wanted Josh, and even if Revi did not have any attachment or loyalties to him he did have his honor enough to repay for the info, and he smirked "I will not tell you where he is... why should I? All I know is where your ass is, and all I want to learn is which way I should kick it." He said nodding, and letting out a light laugh.

He flexed his muscles as his body tensed up, and he pushed the bone in his shoulder farther out the base thinning up into a handle making a foot long spike with handle that he tore off. He flinched and grit his teeth holding the bone in his left hand, and he nodded, as he ran for Liam under the skin of his left hand the bone and blood compacted at the finger tips small sharp points dense and becoming somewhat heavy. It was a gamble he kept the left hand across his chest waiting for Liam to portal, and then to throw the spikes at him when he came out elsewhere.

[Liam A. MacArthur V]

Liam MacArthur once again hid his glee at the man rushing towards him, the presence of Revi coming to enact his revenge fell into his lap at the most opportune time for it was now he would come clean for everything. He could feel himself tugged back into the portal that Cronus created and was proceeded by the feeling of being like butter spread of too much bread, it was always like this when he traveled across whatever null space that lay within the portals. It was the feeling of numerous lances hitting him square in the chest upon exiting that gave him the shock of his life, it had been many years since he felt the rush of death as it speed towards him and just like the countless times before it hit that unseen and impenetrable barrier of his immortality. "Fuck!" he managed to gasp out as a spray of blood flew from his mouth across the room nearly hitting Revi's feet, the ancient man stumbled to his knees and promptly collapsed. Cronus stood stock still looking at the 'dead' man at his feet and slowly raised his head to meet the crazed look in Revi's eyes, his piercing gaze shifted back to the prone man as a haggard cough was released from the supposed corpse.

Liam shakily got to his feet once more and slowly pulled the offending shards from his chest, one by one the gaping holes in his torso sizzled along the edges and healed themselves back to perfection. The ancient man's grimace quickly turned into quiet fury at the man who had attacked him "You have quite overstayed your welcome Mr. Balalaika, it's time to see you to the door. I think after a week in one of our rooms will get you to sing a different tune when it comes to my elusive grandchild, that or i find out just how to get past your rejuvinating abilities." Liam took the claymore from the wall directly behind cronus and came back in front of Revi to raise the sword in front of his face closing his eyes, almost like steam the age seemed to come off of his face as he released a sliver of the stored life energy within the cell pockets in his body. Before Revi's eyes the 82 year old man reverted back to his 22 year old self that hadn't been seen since the end of the nazi regime, "Well, doesn't that feel much better. Yes i think i quite enjoy this age much better than 82 and might i thank you for forcing me into this state, for if you hadn't gotten it into that thick skull of yours to try and kill me then i would have had to take more drastic measures. Thank you Mr. Balalakia, but it is time you die." Liam paced the floor approaching Revi cautiously and then swiftly attacked spinning on the spot to bring the sword around to meet whatever defense Revi would muster...

[Revi Balalaika]

Revi put his left arm up the skin peeling back slowly as the sword came for it bone tearing through as he increased the mass out for make shift armor. It was a pain and painful for him to do on such a short notice of things, but it would have do do even though it would not hold it would keep the arm attached. Mass of weight and force the right leg bucks a bit fragments of bone chip off and blood spills. A mass amount of pain courses though his arm to his body from broken bone, and sliced flesh and muscle. Teeth grind against one another enduring the pain not letting otu a sound of agony to hit the ears of the mentally disturbed old man.

Revi was surprised not expecting him to become young, or to really have powers he just figured he had a team to work for him was all, but it made sense as to why he so readily invited him here. He dropped the dagger of bone in his left hand, and quickly pivoted in with his right foot reaching across and catching the dagger in his right hand, only to rip it back and thrust forward for Liam's chest. Not giving himself a time to put up a better defense of bone structure inhis body doing what his mind said was the safest bet, and to end it.

[Liam A. MacArthur V]

Liam flung himself backwards and parried the attack with his own sword, the thrill of the fight alit in his steely eyes as the two fighters attacked eachother. His eyes tracked the movement of Revi's hands and feet looking for an opening to cleave the heart of the young upstart from its bloody cage, "You do realize that this fight is simply a means to an ends correct? As we speak the next to last stage of my plans is coming to an end as my experiments awaken from their slumber and since you shall die today i will share my plan with you, just so you can say you were there at the start." He growled fiercly as he took a series of fast swipes with his long sword forcing the other man further towards the large freight elevator in the room. "It's all about taking advantage of a situation developing deeper into chaos and then coming out as their saviour, but now i'm getting ahead of myself since i didnt explain just exactly what the situation is. You see i'm a lot older than 82 sonny Jim and after 2000 years on this planet of ours i'm finally able to take advantage of the technology that i helped to develop with Dr. Wirth in Nazi Germany, it also helps that the second power i have is necromancy.

For too long the ancient man had waited for this opportunity to lay it all out on the table to someone and Revi Balalaika was that person, it would be icing on the cake for the man to survive this encounter and face him in public. Which is why he used all the strength and weapon skill he had to push him to the open elevator. "This pathetic excuse for a government isn't going to sit by idly and allow super powered citizens to snatch the control from them, this tentative lull in response by the government is hanging on by a thread. I'm just getting a few steps ahead of their 'final solution' to us, 'cause you see when the masses give into the fear and paranoia we start to see places like work camps. You follow? It's not that hard to start down that path...of course i'm more than certain no one is going to know what was going on when people start getting whisked away from their homes in the deep of the night. Goodbye!" Liam MacArthur grinned cockily at Revi and stopped attacking the man, at once a portal opened up between the two men and a silvery hand lashed out punching Revi in his face sending him into the open elevator. The titanium reinforced freight elevator closed swiftly and rose to the topmost maintenance level which consisted of a short stairway that lead to the surface. "Give my regards to my grandchild Revi, i'm sure i will be seeing him soon." came the voice from a speaker box in the cement hallway, the deep rumbling coming from within the facility the only warning of what was being released.

[Revi Balalaika]

Revi kept moving, dodging, and trying to keep himself from needlessly having to regenerate his body parts, as well as waiting for the one opening to come where he could strike Liam down. The moment came and as he went to throw the dagger into the face of Liam a hand came from a portal and slammed right into Revi's face. As he flew back you could hear "Oh What the hell!?" Escape his lips before a thud as he landed into the elevator. Before he could get to his feet the doors shut and he was on his way out, he looked down and sighed not sure what to do why should h care about what Liam spoke of it didn't concern him one bit.

He wanted to care, but the feelings weren't coming after all the people he always tried to help in his travels once finding out about his powers would always shun him turn him away not wanting him to be around any longer. He let out a sigh as he got to his feet, and shook his head "Screw this shit... I should go relax on a nice beach get some sleep and forget all I heard..." he said slowly walking away all the small nicks and cuts from the sword finished their healing.
