Across the Threshold: Meeting Persolus
In the pilot's seat in the carrier ship Chase was looking back at the day so far and sighed "This is not a good day." Soon Katie of all people came in on and sat down on shotgun. "You do realize that both Terra Arrea and old Forma City were not your fault you know." She said in a casual tone. "I know. Don't worry about me, I'll be back to normal in no time." Suddenly something came to him. Something he heard from a young reptilian say, "Don't worry about me, I'll be back to normal. " This caused Chase to jolt up with Katie noticing asking, "Hey are you all right?" "Yeah, I'm just some flashbacks." Chase answered "Right." Katie said concerned and looked forward.On the Border gates used to keep the borders of Gash safe, Verdtrus with Omnidec and the rest of the Requiem Knights in their armored forms, were standing outside the gates waiting for their contact. The area around is nothing but deserts similar to modern day New Mexico with tuffs of grass all across the landscape. The gates themselves are large Iron structures about 30 feet high and 20 inches thick. On the walls were the words written in Gashese "Warning any who tries to climb the walls will be shot on sight!" Verdtrus and Omnidec were planning their next move while Flareon was looking around for any sign of "Geez, how long is it going to be before this guy arrives!?" Tameron said as he pulls a card 7 of hearts from the deck on the ground. With him was Flip, Bakore and Twin Drake and they were playing poker on the ground. "Maybe he has trouble getting through Gash, I've read that the continent has a lot of deserts especially in the country of Enosar oh hey!" Flip said he sees the pairs in his hand only to groan as the other three placed their own hands down. Tameron had Three of a kind, Twin Drake had a flush but Bakore had a royal flush, winning him the game. "Geeeeez, I can't wait until we get all of the Requiem Items so those guys out in space would give us back up." Bakore said. "Yeah, we have at least 5 more to go." Tameron said before Tarrot, standing under a tree said "We got company incoming, I can smell him." All of the Interlopers got up to find a figure in the distance. A grey cloak covered them completely only for a blue light shinning though the robes in his waist area. "Well that was interesting." the figure said pulling his hood revealing himself to the same species as Mordecai's (Current) doctor. the only exception are that the figure has head tails with two large Head bumps on his head. "Thanks to you and your posse, the CPDF is off of our tails." "What do you mean Hermit?" Verdtrus asked. "Well we have undergone some testing of our own and the X trooper system is finally finished." Black Hermit stated plainly. "X trooper? You didn't mentioned anything like this," Verdtrus said, "by the way do you know was that dog man with the gun, the one that attacked the university?" "Could be someone looking for power." Hermit answered in a shrug, "Anyways the X trooper system is an off shoot of the F.U.S.O.R. system that you demonstrated to us. We originally planned it to be an upgrade to the Dark Ranger system with the suit Darkoni as a base." "Darkoni?" Verdtrus asked. As an answer Hermit revealed "It belonged to a warrior who fought against the CPDF before you had arrived in this universe. This being was one of the best soldiers in our organization. He even took the armor's name as his own. The reason why is that the Armored Warriors gave him that name as a way to identify him. At the time he had an advantage long lost and it nearly cost the CPDF dearly. Now we believe that by copying his armor design, we could try and make more soldiers like him to help your cause in your war against G Zero." "What!? Hold on, you never mentioned anything about soldiers." Verdtrus said alarmed, "one the very reasons why we left Earth Gaia in the first place is to not to use it for invasion." "Yet you use it for common thievery like a gang of common thugs." Hermit pointed out. Aside, Flip asked to the others telepathically {They do realize Gaia means Earth right?} {YES! THEY DO!} Omnidec answered giving a look to Flip telling him to keep quiet. Verdtrus argued back "We only did this so that you could help us, but now we are just criminals in the eyes of the CPDF by now!" Hermit glared at Verdtrus for a few tense seconds, only to finally sigh and say "Fine. I promise that the Dark Scavengers won't use your technology for invasion, you have my word." He then handed Verdtrus a map with the location of the next Requiem Item a USB flash drive and some cards, "the next item is among other items in an auction run by some Catira aristocrat in Gash so you may need someone to blend in with the crowd unnoticed." "Well," Verdtrus said taking the items, "I'll see what I can do, but I will take you up on that promise, and if you DARE turn your back on it, then I promise you," Verdtrus turned to walk towards the Requiem Knights "I will make you and your posse pay!"
