Atlantis - The Last Stand
Mason was wearing two parkas as he and Marrina waited at the set coordinates on the Nova Scotia shoreline. An official envoy from Atlantis was supposed to pick them up here. He was holding her hand, and what of his face could be seen between his scarf and his hat looked worried. He nodded to her.

"Just in case I get killed..." He squeezed her hand. "I love you. And you were worth it."

	One of the guards notices a form approaching in the water, and steps through the membrane, holding a spear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The head of a leviathan burst out of the water and Alex tried to grab the Atlantean. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel's head, shoulders, and hands slowly come out of the floor near the Jeffrieses, undoing any restraints. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a shriek from the guard as he's grabbed, two others dropping their melee weapons and producing blasters, firing through the membrane. The remainder of the guards back up, forming a wall between the cave entrance and the prisoners, their backs still to them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The blasters didn't do much more than a pinprick would do. Alex tossed the Atlantean he had grabbed against the wall of the cave and wen after the other two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And the rock floor of the cave becomes a more concentrated purple and just a little uneven, as the Jeffrieses slide where Alex will be able to grab them more easily. The bright purple signal to Jordan has been made. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The shift in the cave floor alarms the other guards, some of which turn and open fire on the purple areas of the rock. The remainder of the guards fan out and charge Alex. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex was going to stick with incapacitating the Atlanteans, but when he saw them firing at Mel, that plan went out the window. Leviathan-Alex roared and ferociously attacked the Atlanteans, going for the kill. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The purple stone is crackled and shattered in places, and a streak of fear and pain haunts the ambiance of the cave as Mel's head and arms come out enough to hold on to the Jeffries as Alex fights. Oh, and, admittedly, scream. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_atlantis 2010-12-20 12:58 am UTC (link)
	Some of the guards are shaken by the sight, as others still try to deal with the monstrous creature thinning their ranks. A few even dive through the membrane, hell-bent on getting past Alex. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-12-20 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Alex heard Mel screamed and was /worried/. He increased the intensity of his attacks and was no longer concerned about hurting these guys or killing them. Nothing would keep him from helping Mel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Something is obviously wrong. They were supposed to go in stealthily - then signal him when they needed a distraction. What happened in there?
He has full underwater gear, and is able to move at a pretty good clip along the floor, too dense to swim without a good deal of effort.

At the sight of running guards, Jordan emerges from hiding and goes rushing towards the cave, crashing into the onrush of soldiers as needed.

	Clutching onto the Jeffries still, Mel pulls her legs out of the ground, checkerboarded thick with blood, lying at wrong angles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_atlantis 2010-12-20 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	The guards retreat, save for two who were crippled in Alex's onslaught. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	strongbox 2010-12-20 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Jordan hasn't seen Mel yet, he just knows this went terribly, terribly wrong somehow. He lifts one of the guards by the throat, wounds or no. "You will direct me to Mason Jeffries' challenge, now. Alex, get everyone out of here. There's something I need to deliver." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_atlantis 2010-12-20 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	The warrior grabs at Jordan's hand, trying to squirm free. "We are acting on authority of Atlantis in sequestering these spies. You have no right to interfere." The one still on the floor of the cave drags himself up against the wall. "This matter is unrelated to the surface-dweller's consorting with the Princess!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He holds up the note in front of the soldier's face, now neatly encased in a clear plastic bag to protect it from the water.

"You think so, do you? These aren't spies. They're kidnapped Canadian citizens, held against Mason Jeffries' death in combat. Guess what, that, assassination attempts, invading government property - these things are all illegal. Not just in Canada - but before the international court. As a representative of the Canadian government, its my job to enforce those rules. So now, you have a choice - I can drag you to the surface in chains, and you personally can answer for kidnapping and death threats against international citizens - and let me give you a hint, the Russian judge is really harsh - or I can pretend for one second that you're just a patsy in all of this, and you can Take. Me. To. The. Challenge. Of. Mason. Jeffries. NOW."

	The warriors exchange looks uncertainly. They seem intent on heading to the challenge, and at worst, they're leading a bunch of attackers into a more heavily armed venue. "We... we will lead you to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	//Can you radio in to have the med bay prepped?// Alex asked as he shifted to a sperm whale and /very/ carefully scooping up Mel and the Jeffries. //Hold on,// he told Mel. //I'm going to take you home.// (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	" 'kay," Mel says quietly, holding onto the Jeffrieses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alex swam as fast as he could and once he breached the surface, he made for shore.

He was exhausted when he reached the shore and he very carefully shifted into a Sasquatch and carried the three individuals to shore.

He shifted again, this time into the red dragon, picked up the three and took off toward headquarters. He was tired, but he was determined to get there as quickly as possible to get Mel some medical treatment.

	And soon, Mel's wounds are bandaged, and her bones are set. The Jeffrieses are properly revived. "You've gotta rest too, now," she insists to Alex, worried. "Sorry I botched things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-12-20 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Alex was bone tired, but no way was he going to leave Mel's side. He paced while the doctors worked on her and as soon as they were done he was by her bedside. "You didn't do anything wrong," he assured her. He brought the hand he held up and kissed the knuckles. "I'm sorry you got hurt. I should have been faster." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2010-12-20 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"You did fine. I just had bad luck trying to do two things at once and getting spotted. The important thing is that everybody's mostly okay. They say my legs are gonna heal eventually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-12-20 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	He squeezed her hand. "I'm going to be right here. If you need anything at all, you just need to tell me." Despite knowing she was going to be okay there was a huge knot inside of Alex's stomach. He was /worried/ and he blamed himself for not doing a better job at making sure she didn't get hurt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
