I'm pretty sure you've all done this at one point or another. One person starts the story out then stops at a point and waits for another author to pick up where he left off, then that author does the same. We go until the story becomes so convoluted that an ending is drawn up. Thought it would be a little fun and an exersize in creativity.
The only guideline I have for this little activity is that you think up your ideas from scratch right here. No thinking ahead then posting, the ideas have to be raw. It'll make it more interesting that way. If possible, try to be serious. I'm not too good at writing fiction so i'm going out on a limb writing this. Thanks, and have fun!
The Chain of Events
[align=left]Traffic had finally let up enough so that the birth of the city was visible. Linna had given up all hope of even making it in to her shift until the radio reported that the boomer incident, the apparent cause for the delay, had moved some ways away. Or so she thought...
"Yeah, Hey Priss, uh its around 2 in the morning, you guys are probably in the middle of a show, but if you get this message then you should know that I'm past the bridge. Should be there in the next hour if traffic lets up a lit..." She pauses as she catches a glimpse of an explosion and lazer fire, "I'm gonna have to get back to you later..." *How the hell am I this unlucky? I'VE GOT TO BE CURSED OR SOMETHING!* She screamed inside her head. A thumping began reverberating through the car as she thought. They were soft at fist, almost soothing, minor fwumps of pressure. Then suddenenly out of nowhere a huge fireball, then a thump big enough to shake the car. "What the hell?" She said as she tried to make sense of the situation.
Traffic up front had broken to the nearest exit which left the right lane completely open. People were abondoning their cars and running for the emergency tunnel entrances. "What to do."
The exit was now crammed with cars, but before traffic had a chance to move again there was a massive explosion and a huge fireball shot out from the passageway" She jammed the acclerator and let the car lurch foward into the wall of smoke ahead. The burnt out cars and people fleeing to get to safety was quite a scene, it reminded her of a movie.
"Come on just a few more meters and I'll be on my." She said tapping the steering wheel nervously. There were more explosions and the smoke was getting thicker. The sound of automatic weapons fire could be heard in the distance and the plink plink stacatto slaps were easy enough to identify as ricochetting rounds. She was getting closer to action.
"There, half a kilometer till ... wait, what the?" She leaned over the steering wheel to try to get a better look. The smoke was swirling and shooting in all directions. She looked again and found out immediately that her choice to take the path less traveled was a bad one. The familiar scream of hoverjets filled her ears as more smoke was blown away. It wasn't until the red eyes of the bu55c came into view that she realized that she was in deep trouble. The mouth cannon charged and the familiar glow lit the darkened road. A blue flash exploded from its mouth...
A heavy hand yanked her backwards seconds before the Boomers weapon discharged; she could feel the heat as the ion weapon passed inches from her face. However the pain from the burns was nothing compared to the pain she felt as she was thrown to the concrete floor. Looking up, she stared in fear as the boomer was looking down at her. It wasn’t human, but the look on its face was something that you might have seen on an insane murderer.
“Oh God…” she whispered to herself as the boomer weapon charged again, then just as suddenly she was pushed away by a shock blast as the Boomer head exploded in a bright white flash.
Dazed she looked up to see a man standing behind her, in his right arm he held what looked like a Thumper grenade launcher. A worn black leather jacket was all he wore over a military uniform. He looked like he had gone through hell and back, Suddenly a thump could be heard as another BU-55C combat boomer landed nearby searching for it companion.
Hearing this, the man grabbed Linna hand and pulled her up.
“If you wish to live through this day Linna Yamasaki I suggest that you follow me” he said as he reloaded a 40mm grenade into his weapon. She stared at him with an unexpected look
“How do you know my name? who are you?” she asked, he looked up and smiled
“My name Tom Anderson” he said just before a series of secondary explosion started to detonate. “Move now…” he said pulling her along.
I am a Member, Not a Number!!!
Linna took two steps behind the man when yet another blinding flash exploded in her vision. Then the shockwave hit. She was blasted across the road and into the front window of a restaruant. Glass rained down all around the shocked Knight Saber as she tried to regain her bearings and count her bruises. One by one her limbs all responded relatively well, no apparent broken bones... except for this strange feeling in her hand. Her eyes opened to find Tom Anderson's smoked and cauterized arm still gripping her hand... with no sight of the mysterious man anywhere. Linna gingerly tilted her head towards the burning road. There was no sight of the man there, at least not in one piece anyway.
Linna pried the dead flesh away from her arm and began to roll into the building when something clinked onto the floor beneath her. A wristwatch worn by the man fell off the limb and settled by her feet. Still kneeling down, she carefully picked up the memorial and settled it into her pocket, resolving to take care of those matters when she had time. She had to tell Sylia about this man who knew her identity... assuming she managed to live through this night.
A squeak behind her snapped her reflexes into action. Linna grabbed a chair and spun around to the noise... only to find a short, emerald-haired girl staring back at her with frightened blue eyes. Linna slowly lowered the chair down, trying not to startle the girl any further. "It's okay. My name is Linna," she offered, holding a hand out to her. "What's your name?"
The girl's worried eyes flashed between the burning fires and explosions outside and back to Linna's thin hand. Finally she reached out and grabbed onto Linna's pinky and ran into her legs, clamping herself to them like a life preserver. She looked up at Linna with her teary face. "I'm Mika. Have you seen my Papa?"
Linna looked around the store and found dark emptiness staring back at her. The power was obviously knocked out now and there didn't appear to be anyone in the front of the small restaruant. The she spied a door leading to the back kitchen area. "Maybe he's..."
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Mika's scream cut off Linna's train of thought. Her instincts told her something was behind her. Out of the corner of one eye she caught a glimpse of the boomer charging its mouth cannon. She dove to the floor with Mika as the back of the restaruant vaporized into a firey blaze of destruction...

?Oh shit oh shit I?m dead?? was Linna primly thought as she made for what ever cover she could get Mika and herself behind before the Boomer ready itself to fire again. The look of fear on her face, as she stared down the barrel of the Boomers Ion mouth cannon, was nothing compared to the look on the boomers face as it smiled.
In the few second it took for the ion beam weapon to charge, Linna had made peace with her maker but it wasn?t time for her to meet him just yet.
?Hey Toaster I ain?t dead yet!? screamed Tom from behind the boomer, it turned round to face him and found itself staring down the barrel of a 40mm HE grenade shell launcher. ?I?ll see you in hell Toaster? he muttered as he raised the barrel to Fire.
The head of boomer caved in as the shell exploded against it, the force of the explosion sent the boomer crashing down onto the floor. Linna stared in shock as she looked up at Anderson; he was cradler ling the stump of his left arm. It being severed at the top half of the Radius bone, just below the elbow joint.
?You Okay?? he asked, Linna nodded
?Your arm?.? She mumbled out of poor shock, with that type of wound he should have been dead or close to dying. He just grinned as he walked over to the severed limb laying on the floor, picking it up he placed both ends close together.
?I?ve had worse? he said, as the limb started to fuse back to his arm.
?What are you??? Linna said in shock her eye as big as plates watching the arm becoming one again. As she pulled herself up she was still cradling Mika in her arms as if she was her own child.
?Human? Tom replied as he began to flex his arm, checking that the repair was complete.
?How did you just do that?? she asked pointing to his arm
?Magic?? he replied with a grin as he pulled out a small sub machine gun out of his leather jacket and cocks it. ?Listen and listen carefully? he said ?I?m from the near future and I?m here to save the world? a cocky grin on his face. ?There are many forces here at work on this battlefield, I?m just one of many?? he looked round before he indicated Linna and the child Mika to move ?However we gotter get out of here before another boomer finds us?.
Tom lead the way, The SMG he was carrying was cocked and ready as he led Linna who was carrying Mika out of the restaurant.

Meanwhile, at the other side of MegaTokyo, a few hours before Linna's troubles has begun. Sylia Stingray walks up to the door of the newest restaurant called 'Uplift'. She stops and glances at her watch. She smiles and looks up and walks into the restaurant. There standing before her is a C-33 hostess boomer talking into the front desk phone. Sylia walks up to the desk and waits for the boomer to finish the phone conversation. The boomer thanks the person at other end of the conversation and hangs up the phone. The boomer looks at Sylia.
"Yes, may I help with you with something?", the boomer replies.
"Do you have a reserved table for me, I'm Sylia Stingray.", Sylia asks.
The boomer blinks rapidly and looks at Sylia and nods.
"Alright, can you show me the way to my table?", Sylia asks. The boomer nods and leads Sylia to her table. There sitting on one of the two chair table is a very tall platinum blonde female in her late teens smiling at Sylia. The female is dressed in a fashionable black velvet bolero dress jacket, a plain black silk blouse with a silver-colored men's thin neck tie, a ruby and sapphire gem neck coker, and mini skirt with matching hosiery and medium high heeled pumps. Her long hair is tied up into a french braid. Her unearthly silvery eyes peruses over Sylia's presence.
"Glad that you made it.", the female replied.
"Likewise too, Cassidy." , Sylia responded.
"Well, take a seat and starting ordering.", asked Cassidy. As she gives the restaurant menu to Sylia.
"I guess you have chosen your order before I arrived here.", Sylia replied.
Cassidy nodded and looks around, casually.
"Yes, this my second time here after I got my bioroid body working. Speaking of time, you know tomorrow is the first annual anniversary of my joining into your group.", Cassidy responded.
"Hmmm, I didn't expected for you as a former combat boomer to stay with us and hunt down some rogues. You would have left Japan for greener pastures elsewhere." , Sylia spoke.
"I had no problems with the rogues. They're just my versions of riff-raft who don't listen to common sense and tolerence for all life.", Cassidy shrugged.
While still reading the menu, Sylia said, "Your large toy company store is the talk of this town and I'd read up in the local business news that you making a good sale profit."
"True, true, the kids like me and one of them compared me to Uncle Drosselmeier from the Nutcracker tale. They think I'm not human but a new type of boomer. But they haven't ratted me out yet and those children bring their single fathers with them. Those fathers have stated to me of going on a date with them and that there are those single males who behave shamelessly try to find ways to spy under my skirt.", Cassidy lamented. Sylia started to giggle behind the menu.
"Now, stop that. Sylia. And make your order.", Cassidy demanded quietly.
"Alright, alright, I take the stir fry vegetable salad with the grilled curried duck liver and I suspect that you chosen our appetitizers and desert entrees for us?", Sylia enquires.
"Yep," Cassidy responded.
After they finished their late dinner, Cassidy glanced up and listen into air.
"What's the matter, Cassidy?", Sylia asked.
"I'm picking up an ADP police code red at the Odaiba area at the new metropolitian express way with a descriptions of the three persons being chased by a BU-55C. One of these person described by the ADP matches that of Linna's!", Cassidy responded.
Sylia is astounded by the news and gets up to pay the food bill.
"Don't worry about the bill, I paid with my special credit account software. Now let's to my wheels.", Cassidy responded. Both of them walk out of the restaurant.
"Now what vehicle did you bring here?", Sylia asked.
"Remember that old 20th Century UK kids tv show, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterions?", Cassidy responded.
"Oh, no, you made that sleek APC for your ride.", Sylia exclaimed.
Cassidy nodded and Sylia shakes her head.
"Oh well, Spectra is red.", Sylia replied, "We have to call and pick up Priss at Hot Legs during that live recording session and Nene at that new VR cyber cafe." After Sylia made her statement, a very large light aqua multi-wheeled vehicle drives up in front of the two females and slides open a door in front of the women. Both women jump into the APC and the vehicle races out into the direction of the night club.

“So Nene what drags you here tonight?” asked Priss as he leaned up against the bar and looked across at the redhead who was nursing a Tequila Slammer since she came in. She had been dragged in by the ADP newest Dispatcher who couldn’t believe it, when she heard that Nene was a friend of her favorite rock star.
“Nothing just her” she said pointing to the 17 year old girl standing next to her, The tall blond girl had stars in her eyes as she stared at Priss.
“Who she?” asked Priss Leaning forwards and pointing with her pinky at the new girl.
“Priss meet Kiai Mihoshi Kuramitsu, she just finished basic training… and she had special training. Still doesn’t explain why we’re stuck with her in dispatching”
“What Training?”
“Demolitions” Nene Replied as she gulped her drink down. Priss suddenly spat out her Beer after she heard this.
“Demolition?” she asked
“Yep” confirmed Nene “Hey Bar keep Give me another Slammer!” she shouted as she slammed the empty glass against the bar top.
“Move!” shouted Tom as he motioned Linna to move with the girl to cover; she dashed forwards as she carried the Girl. All her training couldn’t prepare her for the onslaught that she was facing today. Nothing could compare with the physical abuse she was suffering.
Ducking behind a crashed police cruiser, she found Tom directly behind her. He moved forward peering over the bonnet he stared at a Subway entrance that was twenty meter away and what was their target.
“Do you think you can make it?” he asked.
“Is it clear?
“F.A.B.” he replied with a smile.
“F.A.B?” she asked as she stared with an insane look on her face.
“The view is Fabulous, not a boomer in sight” he said back before standing up and scanning the area.
I am a Member, Not a Number!!!
Above Tom, Linna and Mika perched another hero of a feathered variety... sucked into the otherworldly fray. "Bart the Wonder Pigeon!!" scanned the battlefield below, steely eyes hunting for his prey. Alas, the coast appeared to be clear in this sector, and thus he swooped across the mechanized valley to search for more victims, leading the way with his Beak of Death.
Many a boomer had met their match this night within Bart's puffy plumes, and Bart was sure that many more would receive the "Scar of the Dropping" as the red moon slipped across the darkness overhead. A twitch and pop of a mechanized arm below caught Bart's attention from just above the tops of the towers around him. He swiveled his head to and fro, then pivoted for the attack. Down he soared, streaking near the speed of insanity... and beyond!! Then the throaty pigeon let loose his battle cry...
"ACK ACK ACK!!!!"
A confused boomer stepped out of the alleyway, looking up at the sky. "Huh?"
SPLAT!!!!
Yes, the boomer was caught unawares... his optic sensors now covered in a white, gooey, slimy coating. He howled in rage and took a step back... and tripped over the outstretched leg of the "Bart the Wonder Pigeon!!!" Down the boomer crashed, arms and legs flailing... then failing as the acidic mixture on his faceplate seeped into the braincase.
"Ah, another one bites the dust. These boomers are just so..." Just then, "Bart the Wonder Pigeon!!!" turned around into the onrushing lights of a barrelling APC. "... stupid... ACK!!!"
SPLATTTT!!!!
"What was that?" Sylia asked confused, grey and blue feathers flying all over the windshield of the APC.
"I have no idea," Cassidy wondered aloud. "Although... strangely... I feel this overwhelming sense of loss right now..."

While all this was happening, Nene was sitting on the barstool in a morose mood about her interrupted win streak in the Calhoun VR cyber cafe where Nene was playing a Killzone 10 fps.
(flashback)
'It was that Urban arena that I was regaining my no.1 standing in the Killzone game. I was Helaghast player carrying my .50 BMG anti-material rifle, my 6.5 mm mini-gun, Super .45 Taurus Model 2020 semi-auto with 18 rds. magazine clip, mini flame-thrower, and explosive party favours. I creeping my way into the ruined city, keeping watch for rovering patrols. If could you see me now, deck out in the armor and mask. Of course, you can't see my manical grin and eye twitches under that mask. Edging forward towards that ruin building with an excellent but hidden view to the enemy's location. Mu ha, ha, ha, ha! It was so easy getting onto that floor with that window view. Then set up that rifle and viewing into the scope. Seeing Hawkeye pacing back and forth and not care in the world. Then setting in my breathing tempo and then release and squeeze. His head burst with his brains and skull and then shot him again into his body before he fell to the ground. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Got away quickly and quietly before anyone was on to me. Then up to next building and hop and climbs the nearby building tops for next victims without detection. Until, I spotted Analog on one of roof tops. I'd sneak up to him and waited for him to look at the diversion I made. Then I'd grabbed him from behind and push my wicked knife into his back near the shoulders and severed his spinal cord. Then I stabbed him 5 times and dragged his body to a hiding place. I moved on to the rest of the enemy unit and found them below me at the safe jumping height at that fire escape. Then I go get my mini-gun ready and I made sure that I had armor-piercing rounds in that gun. Then I'd leap down and fired up the gun into the middle of the unit killing Briaeos, darktruth, Boomer, and Maverick. I think I said to Marverick as I'd mowed him down. "Playing a dead man's hand, huh. You piece of !@#$%^&*." Ha, ha, ha, ha, it was too good. Then I saw Lynk and Firestarter running for cover. I'd chased them down to that dead-end alley and keeping cover from any returning fire. At the mouth of that alley, I said to them was they shouldn't dis the Queen of the Killzones and now you burn you !@#$% freaks. They burned when the flamethrower hit them and then Mihoshi interrupted me. Sigh!!'
Then Nene took another snork of alcohol.
Meanwhile at the scene of destruction, a lone ADP cruiser pulled up and two officers got out. The Bigger man looked at his partner
"General, Check those bodies for any survivors"
"Okay Chief" he replied as he moved towards the bodies, He check one after another, finding just dead people. When suddenly the Chief shouted "General Look out!!!!" looking up he saw a combat boomer making his way towards him, -SPLAT- The Combat boomer landing with so much force on him that there wasn't much left apart from a bloody patch of blood and guts.
Priss looked over Nene's shoulder at the young Kiai Mihoshi Kuramitsu who was happily slugging away mugs of beer like they were nothing.
"So Kiai why did you join the ADP?" she asked, Kiai Looked up and looked at Priss
"Well my mother was a G-police Detective before she retired to Earth"
"Retired to Earth?" mumbled Priss as she raised an eyebrow at the Blond haired girl, Looking down she realised Nene was out of it. The Alcohol had clearly knocked the Red head out. Suddenly Priss Mobile started to Bleep, Picking it up Priss Realised it was the Sabres Signal. Looking down at Nene who was snoozing, Priss cursed her breath.
"Come one Nene" she said as she picked up the red head and flung the small girl over her shoulder. "See you Kiai" she said making her way towards the club door.
"Wait do you need any help?" asked Kiai as she began to follow the two knight sabres.
?No I'm fine" insisted Priss and she wove her hand trying to wave the girl off, when they got outside. However the Mobile Pit suddenly pulled up with Mackie behind the wheel.
"Come on Priss it's Sabreing time!" shouted Mackie before he knew Kiai was there, The Blond haired ADP dispatcher might have seemed like a Ditz. But she was quite smart as she realised what the young man had said
"OH MY GOD" she shouted point both at Priss and Nene "You're the Knight Sabres!!!" both Priss and Mackie both started to sweat at the young girl, Nene meanwhile hadn't a care in the world as she was past out.
"Err....." mumbled Priss as she stared at the blond hair girl "year.... that right" she said as a side panel on the trailer opened up for Priss to lay Nene inside.
"Cool" squealed Kiai "Can I join?" both Priss and Mackie face faulted at the girl, Nene meanwhile had an evil grin on her plastered face.

(This post was last modified: 18 March 2006, 6:19 PM by The General.)
Priss looked at Kiai and walks up to her. Kiai gives a faint squeal to her favorite rock star walking up to her.
"Can you sign my autograph book, please?", Kiai gasped. Priss rolls up her eyes and looked at the young girl.
"Yeah, I'd sign it.", Priss replied, "But remember, I'm not type that likes meet to fans all the time and I prefer to have a private life and I'm not that type of special person that made big time. It takes alot of persistance, a little talent, and alot of street smarts for music business." Then she gets out her pen and takes the autograph book and sign it.
"Thank you, thank you!!!', Kiai answered.
"Okay, now I got to get back to the stage and do my last song for the live album.", Priss responded. With she walked back to the stage. As she walked, she rememberd the day of her split up with the Replicants and her first attempt to go solo alone. She wasn't happy when her first agent told her what was her contract conditions were and she didn't like that sickening, cute dress that they want her to wear. So she fired her agent and went looking for another agent. But it looked bad for her because no one wanted to work with her due to her anti-corporate stance with Genom and other corporations. Then she bumped into a mysterious young Canadian Caucasian woman named Montana in a shopping mall in the afternoon. Montana listen to Priss' current circumstances and told Priss that she will be her agent and showed her a business card stating her entertainment media agent occupation. The weird thing about Montana is that she was dressed to the nines with fashionable clothings dated from the late 1930s or 1940s with that type of makeup and hair style, too. The other thing that Priss sensed about Montana was that she gives these strange vibes but not to give Priss any sense of hostility or danger to prevent her to not accept Montana's offer. After that things turn to her way, she was able to get a suitable record contract with one newest and hottest music record company in the world, but she form a new band to complete the contract terms. So Priss remembered another old friend that her departed boyfriend had hang around with. A guy named Maxon who was a drummer with another band. So she went around for him and was able to find at his home. She and he talked about old times and her boyfriend and her current life. Then she asked Maxon if he can join her into forming a new band for a bonafide recording session. Maxon agreed stating that he was looking for new music gig since his split from his current band due creative differences. So Priss and Maxon started looking new band members and meet up with two new musicians named Jaid and Fox. These two guys were starting out and looking gigs that would promise them fame and found with Priss. So the guys talked about a band name and Priss remembered her time with her boyfriend and name that he want to use from a restaurant that they usually dined in. So she stated to guys that name 'Sekiria' to be the band's name. They like it and recorded the ir first gold album(which consisted of her old songs from her Replicants days). She abandoned the trademark blonde wig and chose the natural look for her new band.
"Hey, Priss, ready for last song?", Jaid inquired as she made it to the backstage. Priss nodded and grabbed her synthesisizer guitar.
"Well, let's meet the crowd."
"Let's rock as Sekiria.", Maxon exclaimed.
Then they walked out to the stage to cheering crowd. Priss turns to the recording technicians and signaled them to start their equipment. Then she spoke into her mike.
"Time for our last song here."
Aww No!!!
"That's the wrong response, we all need our beauty sleep here. So gimme a good arousal cheering for this important occasion."
Yea!!! We love you, Priss!!
"Good!!! This last number is out of the usual stuff but it's my take on black humor about romance and is called Ugly Bitch Love. Okay, on 1, 2, 3!"
I see you comin' down the street with flowers in your hand,
Then you walk up and tell me of your love for me,
But you shouldn't tell me this because I don't anyone and wanna be left alone,
So I put my face to yours and did this,
(Chorus)
I'd head butt on your forehead and stomps my heel on your foot,
Then kneel you in your @#@$%^ groin and slug you in your @#$%^& breadbasket,
After I break your kneecaps, then I say to you,
If you want my love, !@#$%^&* bastard, then have my ugly bitch love !!!
Two weeks later, I listening to my favourite tunes on my CD player and feeling mellow,
Then I hear my doorbell ringing, so I answered the door and find you kneeling with candy and a kitten in your hands,
You started profess your undying love and unending faithfulness to me,
But you made a mistake in visiting me because I'm no mood for a lifelong partner and rather have sex with strangers,
So I grab your shirt lapels, in order to put my face to yours and did this,
( Repeat Chorus)
One month later, I was riding my Harley hog on a bright summer day and catching the sights,
Then I spot you in the middle professing your love to me and that you can't stop obsessing about me,
But you never listened or remember what happened in the past and I don't want you, ever,
So I ran you over with my hog and stop and pick you up by your neck to have face in yours and did this,
( Repeat Chorus)
After the song was finished, Priss went to find Nene and Kiai.
"You're just wonderful, Priss.", Nene responded.
"Yeah, Awesome!", Kiai added. Then the next set of events began.
Mean while on a Paradise loop subway car, three figures sat alone in the car as it rumbled along the tracks towards the next stop along it line. The black haired woman in the group rocked backwards and forwards with a small girl in her lap. As the man examined his weapon, and reloaded it a full magazine.
“Tell me what going on” demanded Linna in a whisper as not to scare the child she was hold. Tom didn’t take his eyesight of the weapon he was working on as he answered her.
“It obit of a long story, but I’ll tell you what I can…” he paused to set the weapon down on his lap. He rubbed his hand against his tired blue eyes before he turned to Linna. “I’m about 30 years from the future and I’m your son….” The atmosphere suddenly dropped 10 degrees in the subway car as Linna’s head slowly turn Ninety degree to her right as she stared at Tom. When she first laid eyes on him, she thought she saw some resemblance to her late father but she didn’t put any of it together because of the rampaging boomer that was going round causing all the destruction.
“How… Why…” she started to mumble off question, Tom raised his hand
“All in good Time Mother” he answered her “First off we got to find Sylia and give her this” he said holding up a small electronic data storage device. The Little Girl known as Mika was staring at Tom and the disc, she reached out for it unaware she was doing so.
“Hey Mika-Chan this isn’t for you” he said before he placed it back into his chest pocket. Instead he pulled out a Lollypop and undid the wrapper before he handed it to her
“Himmm Strawwberry…” she answered as she sucked on it “My Fave'rate”
“That my girl” Tom said as he scuffed her hair in love.
“What so important about that device” Linna asked as she referred to the data device Tome had pocketed.
“It contains all the information about the attack” he replied as quickly doubled checked his gun was loaded and ready.
“What Attack?”
“The invasion of the sīlon empire fleet" he answered.

While Mackie has arrived at Hot Legs to pick up Nene and Priss, The aqua APC is getting closer to the night club with every minute and in its interior, Sylia looks around her new surrounding as Cassidy turns to look at Sylia's curious surveying around her vehicle and a sly smile comes over Cassidy's face. Sylia turns to see Cassidy looking at her with that smile and her arms laid crossed on her lap and looks over to the joystick/steering drive column moving on its own. Sylia's eyebrows arched with interest and Cassidy shrugs and giggles. Then Sylia remembers that Cassidy isn't a human but a bioroid with organic living tissues grown in a cloning vat melded with cybernetical circuitry and bionics components(more superior than what humans have achieved) and not that multi-legged metallic combat boomer (created by an apocalypstical cultist group) made to defeat any combat boomer made by Genom or any megacorporations in service or in experimental testing. So driving that vehicle without her physical attention is possible if Cassidy is still physically linked to the vehicle's driving mechanisms and viewing cameras and that she has more brain processing power to even interact with both vehicle environments.
"I see that you reproduced the Spectrum APC's interior as seen in that tv series, Cassidy.", said Sylia.
"Oh yes, I did, but did some changes to accommodate the Knight Sabers' equipment for activation on the usual mission runs and added extra weapons for extra firepower. The armor of the APC is quite invincible to withstand a direct hit from a tactical nuke warhead or a very intense conventional weapon bombardment. The bottom drive train and the wheels are indestructible to prevent any attempts to slow or stop the APC from escaping pursuit or going to its destination. You might say that this is a 21st Century version of M1 Abrams tank to anyone's version of a WWII M3 Stuart tank in terms of combat survivablity on the long term basis.", Cassidy replied.
"I didn't remember you asking for our extra hardsuits and motoroids for an alternate safehouse storage. So I guess you decided to make your versions of ours.", Sylia exclaimed.
"Bingo!", Cassidy smiled, "It was my own pet project to improve your hardsuits to be undefeatable by your so-called latest state of the art versions of weapon systems in existence. So now you and the gang can benchpress a semi-trailer tractor truck with one hand, withstand any hits from the USSD Earthshocker attack or from Largo aka. Brian J. Mason, hit harder than an intensive aerial bomb attacks by a huge squadron of B-52s, and move faster than ever on land or in the air. So if you want to try out my hardsuits, they're in the back and I'm going with you to change out of my clothes."
"Alright, I like to see what your hardsuits are like.", said Sylia.
Cassidy sat up and gave a showman's extravagant bow and walked to a wall button panel and activated the hidden compartments to revealing the hardsuits and motoslaves. Then she pointed Sylia to the changing booth and gives off a very wicked smile. Sylia pretends to frown but ends up laughing.
"If you're a man, I would have slap hard for being a pervert." Sylia exclaimed.
"Aaah, but I always like seeing nude human females in front of me. Even though, I'm not a human lebisan or a hetrosexual.", Cassidy replied. After a few minutes, Sylia and Cassidy changed into their skinsuits and are sitting back in the driving compartment as they just arrived at Hot Legs. Sylia spots her own truck driving in front of the nightclub's front door and she looks for the vehicle communicator and finds it. Then she uses the communicator wireless mike.
"Mackie, this is White, over" Sylia spoke into the mike.
"Is that you in that aqua colored armored vehicle?", Mackie replied over the vehicle's loudspeaker.
"Yes, we'll follow you to Linna's last known location in Steel's APC, over", Sylia replied.
"10-4, we'll comply, over.", Mackie responded.

As Tom stopped to look at Mika as she licks up her lollypop, Linna looks at her son from her future.
"If you're my child in my future, don't every called that act of reattaching your severed arm and that rapid health regeneration process as magic. For all I know, you could have an advance form of medical nanotechnology or in that future, an effective cancer treatment has been created for all cancer types and this process that I've experience is a spinoff from that treatment. I may not be the scientist that Sylia or Mackie is or techno-mined as Nene is, but I do run an internet financial investment firm part-time and that means that I do investigate my potential companies or individuals who are in the scientific and technological fields to be invested by my clients. You may get away with that type of talk to a Stone-Age inhabitant but with me or any persons in more advance eras. I do read alot of science-fiction and techno-thriller books. Don't that again or I'll be your mother and you'll treat like a child.", said Linna.
"Alright, Mom, I couldn't resist it to annoy you. Dad always says that you look more lovely when you're annoyed with him.", Tom explained. Linna humphs at her son.
"So if I'm right, your presence here tells me that something real bad happened to us and the world and you're trying to change our past from preventing the current future from happening?", questioned Linna.
"Right on the money, Mom.", Tom answered.
"What about Mika, here? Is she part of this future, too?", Linna enquires.
"Well, I guess no. She does get severely injured in that attack which leaves her in a coma and recovers when the silons appeared. But now she's a wild card in this timeline."
"Ohh, just great. I'd guess I'll contact Sylia with my walkie-talkie mode on my cellphone.", Linna groans. Then sounds of four heavy objects landed hard on the subway car roof.
"Now what !!!", Linna exclaimed.

When Mackie and the others have arrived near the site of rogue boomer incident, Sylia was able to find the two-way videophone controls on the dashboard communicator and turned it on to show Mackie's face on the pop-up LCD screen.
"Mackie, are Nene and Priss suited up?", questioned Sylia.
"Ahh, not exactly.", Mackie replied. His anxiety shows on his face.
"Let me guess, Nene's stone drunk and you ran out of the sober pills.", Sylia replied. Mackie nodded and then Kiai push him away and peeks into the truck's videophone. Sylia's eyes widened and looks at Cassidy who just shrugs.
"Kiai, is that you with Mackie?", questioned Sylia. Kiai nodded.
"Hi, Aunt Sylia, I didn't know you're the leader of the Knight Saber.", Kiai replied.
"Well, I'm not exactly family just because I know one of your old family friend, Tenchi Masaki. But let's dwell on that right now, so has your mother taught you the basis powered armor melee combat tactics?", said Sylia.
"Yep, also I was qualified to operate a K-12S suit, just recently.", Kiai replied.
"Okay, you're in. Mackie, get her suit in Linna's hardsuit and don't worry about Linna. Cassidy has made some spare suits for us and she'll bring Linna's new suit with her.", Sylia spoke and she turns off the videophone. Cassidy walk down to her hardsuit that opened up for her to climb in and Sylia follows her to new white hardsuit.
"Sylia, we'll better hurry up. The APC's laser radar sensors has detected two combat boomers reaching Linna's current position. Those two boomers are an improved Doberman II model and a new design from AIM called a dreadnaught boomer. Also in five minutes, 6 BU-12B models are coming.", Cassidy spoke, "You and I will have to use the motoroids for them when they fly in. As for Linna's new hardsuit, I can control it to Linna for her to access it."
"Okay, let's launch and get Linna out of here.", Sylia replies.
So our two Knight Sabers get in their motorslaves and the APC's roof opens up and the motorslaves blast-off into the air and speeds off at 900 mph. They make it to the subway car where Linna and Tom are and Linna's hardsuit jumps off Cassidy's motorslave and slid down to subway car door and access the door circuits and opens and goes to Linna and she changes into her skinsuit and gets into the new hardsuit.
Meanwhile, Leon McNichol and his new partner named Tally Walters(formerly a 12 years old girl and Anarctica war veteran), an experimental military cyborg from a US Miltary project arrived to see the whole scene and give chase.
Hey! -Time Out Here!!!!-
General Do you mind waiting until someone else has posted? I been very busy this week and I've been unable to have the time, or the Muses to write anything. I don't want to say it but your hogging all the fun.....
I am a Member, Not a Number!!!
Uh, yeah, thanks for the insertion... (lol) I'm not the moderator or anything here, but I kinda want the rules of double posting to apply. The purpose of having chain fiction is letting a person change the stories direction with their own ideas. While I appreciate you adding the thread, wait a little bit for some other input. If Lynk is reading this, try and make some rules for this kind of thread I guess... So far I think people like posting, so can you keep it up? Thanks, love ya all lots.
P.S. I'd add to the story some, but I'm in korea right now for part of a military exercise. limited internet time.
Hello, is anyone writing here or we are out of ideas?

Okay, guys, I guess the gauntlets comes off and there will new postings in this one. Unless superstition doesn't scare you.
Well, I tried posting here, but I'm getting lost. General, you mind posting up a breif synopsis? I've read through it four times and I'm still forgetting characters.
Tom pulled his mother behind him as she cradle Mika in her arms, they all could hear the sound of the metal roof of the subway car being ripped open like tin foil.
‘shit’ thought Tom as he pulled his handgun waist band and cocked it was well with his SMG.
“right mum, When I open fire run for the rear of the train and I’ll hold them off” Linna nodded as Tom spoke to her, turning toward the rear she braced herself for the run. When the first of four boomers fell through the holes in the roof of the carriage and landed with some force that the whole train rock. Tom waited for the boomers to stand up and that he had a clean shot. The lead boomer turned around and faced them, something seemed odd about him, thought Linna she didn’t recognise the modal.
“Uncle Bob?!?!?” screamed Tom as he recognised the boomer, he smiled as he recognised the patch up and jury rigged boomer. This had Kiai marking all over
“WTF are you doing here?”
breif synopsis
Linna is with her son Tome anderson from the future and a child named Mika, on the run from some boomer attacks, however reenforcement have just arrived on the subway train.
