Post Tenebras Veritas (Planes/Cars RP)

[Niixa]

Harper: Blade

She listened quietly as he spoke, admiring the fact that he was willing to protect someone he barely knew, it made her wonder what he’d do to protect someone he knew better.. And that worried her, the fight wasn’t over yet and the fight with Tenebris was a bit of an anti-climax in her eyes, it was looking more and more that Carew was the last boss they had to battle. Still, she puts those worries aside for now and smiled, feeling that tiredness begin to creep over her again, “You never seemed like the type to give up.”

A small sigh of relief escaped her as well as Doc finished up, the bleeding was stopped, here’s hoping it would hold during the last fight, she hoped her own patch job would hold also. “Doesn’t really suit choppers to be on the ground does it?” She liked the idea of being perched somewhere high up, it was in their nature to be in such places after all. She nestled herself against his now that he was all fixed up, feeling less worried about doing any damage to him now. "I'm alright.. and yeah it hurt but it's done now.. I was more worried about you if I'm honest.. I don't want to lose you either..."

[Dusty Crophopper]

Dusty, Finn, and Connor - Tags: Shadow and Spray

"Well it's just my perspective." Dusty sighed here. "Doesn't necessarily mean anything after all." He pointed out. "But yeah I just see him as well... perhaps being that way. If it's all one knows... it's hard to... be something else." he sighed here, looking down a bit as Connor worked away.

The Corolla was putting the finishing touches on his sister now before he backed up and closed her hood. He nodded back at her regarding her lights. "Right well... nothing's totally irreplaceable... just remember that sis." He said now. "Still yeah... I get it... too much recovery time and we can't afford to have you out of the lineup. Heh... still say you should've left me back at that tower though in Hong Kong... maybe you're rubbing off on me more than I care to admit." he confessed here, smirking. "Anyway... you're good to go. But yes... have a professional look at it." he said here, moving off to the side now and over to one of the viewports to look outside at the Pacific Ocean moving beneath them.

Dusty moved over to Shadow now and nuzzled her with a smile. "Hey... feeling better?" he asked. "That was... nice of him and yes... I agree with you about your... assessment." he said here, winking at her. "Heh... you know... I was kinda worried that you and Finn were... well an item when I first met you, but I'm glad to say I found out it was quite the opposite in fact, much to my relief!" He exclaimed here. "Heh... guess you and he never really... saw each other that way, huh?" he asked, nuzzling her again affectionately.

Finn meanwhile looked over to Spray here. "Yes well... not surprising considering this ship no doubt killed hundreds when it destroyed Carew's Rio office." he reminded the plane. "Still I... don't know how a ship itself can have an evil presence but... I don't doubt you at all regarding it..." He trailed off as Tenebris's voice suddenly sounded in their minds.

"The ship's core is powered by the malice of the souls it has taken. Most are angry at their deaths... some are greedy and vengeful... it keeps the ship moving and fueled. That energy serves as a powerful catalyst for the vessel's engines. You can't simply abolish them... good luck trying." he cackled here, his voice fading away after informing them of that little fact.

Miles - Tags: Raine, Doc

"Yes... yes all right." Miles breathed, turning to leave now as he started to drive out of the fog that had gripped his mind. "Raine I... I'm not sure what that was but... I... if you do love me... that's... that's good!" he uttered breathlessly here. "I guess I just... why-why did you uh... want to help me back in the hospital?" he stammered now. "I mean you were... out to deceive us so what... about me... made you want to... assist me?" he asked as they exited that dark power chamber and left it behind them now. "Why form an attachment to me at all if you were only planning on betraying us?" he inquired, curious to this bit.

He paused as she stated she couldn't lose him. She felt she could be happy with him... and that they could have a life after this... a life... a life out of prison... a life with someone who loved him... it sounded... almost too too good to be true. "Raine I... I would like that very much." he told her sincerely. "I just... hope we can have that... soon." he said earnestly. "And I only hope that I... live up to... who you want me to be." he stated now. "I just... seeing my old empire down there... it... made me cringe a bit as I'm sure you can imagine... no... no good memories down there after all." he sighed.

"Th... thanks for getting me out of there... I thought I was... a goner." he confessed here, grateful for her assistance in saving him. He nuzzled into her now, closing his eyes. "I shouldn't look down there... at my oil rigs... it's behind me now... because yeah... I'd like to think I've changed." he admitted here. "You... you gave me a chance as well." He opened his eyes, smiling widely at her before turning to Doc slightly. "Doc... I think I'm ready for my checkup." he said now, sighing here.

Blade - Tags: Harper

"Heh... yeah I never do... even when I'm nearly dead I keep going to save lives... it's just who I am. I don't give up on others and I don't give up on saving others either. Even after nearly dying saving Dusty, after resting for only a few hours, I went out there again to help him out." he explained, smirking a little here.

"Yeah no... but I happen to be more often than not I guess." he sighed here in response to her grounded comment. She was nestling against him now, bringing a smile to his face as he pushed back a little bit. "Heh well... it was good I got it patched up." He felt a warmth he hadn't felt in a long, long time at her words and how she didn't want to lose him. "I... yeah... that's... haven't heard those words in... decades." he sighed here, resting against her. "It's nice... nice to be able to... hear that again." he confessed. "Hmmm..." he suddenly sensed the darkness coming from the room Miles had just emerged from with Raine, and sensed... despair... anger... it was... a brief fear that gripped his heart, icy tendrils shooting out to clutch at him but he steadied himself by focusing on her against him. "That's strange." he commented. "Doesn't seem like a good place to be." He looked over at her here. "You feel that?" he asked, eyes looking at the dark opening.

He could feel the ship picking up speed, and perhaps it was for the best they were getting out of here now. They had to regroup... figure out what was going on and continue the fight. "You don't have to worry about me... I've survived some pretty insane s***." the chopper chuckled here. "What with my childhood and the close calls I've had with my job and all... it's been nuts but I... don't have many regrets." he admitted here.

Doc - Tag: Miles, Raine

Doc nodded. "Okay." He began to look over Miles carefully. "It seems you leaked again, but that's a minor issue right now." Doc said, but he wasn't sure that was the only thing. He looked Miles over even more closely, looking for injuries.

"I would also stay away from that room. It doesn't sound like it is a safe place to be." Doc said as he looked back at the room. "I don't think it's a good idea to be in there."

Shinn

Shinn looked around before he found a decent place to sleep right near where Finn and Spray were flying the ship. "Don't mind me. I just need some sleep." Shinn said before he closed his red eyes and fell asleep.

[ShadowWolfCelica]

Shadow: Dusty, Connor

Once her hood had been slammed shut, it was the signal to her that it was finally over... at least for now. She shook her hood lightly, feeling slightly out of sorts and sneezing again as her engine adjusted. "Ugh... I hate undergoing work... it makes me feel groggy and just... bleugh" She groaned a little, blinking her eyes hard. "Why would I have left you back at that tower? That's the exact sorta thing mother would do and if you haven't already noticed.. I'm not her" She reminded the Corolla, crossing her eyes a little to look at her hood. "Hm... I rub off on everyone.... it's my personality" She snickered for a moment, though raised a tire to place on his side. "Though... thank you. What you did just now.... well you didn't have to do it. At all. Could have just let me... suffer with the trauma I had... So thanks" She smiled lightly, nodding her hood. "You know... mind you, I have no idea where this leaves us after everything you know... Because if you think for a moment you can win me round to join you and mother you have... another thing coming" She said a little more sternly, though lightened her features. "I do think that mother would make you choose.... and should that be the case... what would you do? Knowing that by turning your back.... Mother would hunt you down too" She told the Corolla, a concerned expression on her face.

She glanced up as Dusty approached and nuzzled him very gently back, a slight sigh leaving her. She brushed her hood along his underbelly and closed her eyes for a few moments, taking the moment to enjoy his company and offer him affection. "Mmm somewhat. The immediate effects of any work are of course.... nauseating" She breathed lightly, taking to letting her eyes droop a little as she leaned up against him now, swaying on her tires a little. She perked up a little upon Dusty's next point, frowning a little and reversing away, so she could see his face once more. "You thought Finn and I were.... wait, why? I don't believe anything we were doing was really more than what duty dictated. We weren't acting extra close from what I recall... in fact we were separated more on this mission than we have been in a while" She spoke, tilting her hood. She then smiled lightly at him, giving a small chuckle. "Okay, well... I used to have a rather large crush on him when I first started... he was the hot topic whenever we had classes at CHROME... back in my Academy days, he was the agent to try and impress... It's only really due to the fact that Leland was the one that brought me in that I was able to work with Finn. Finn got to know me through Leland and... well, the rest is history, as they say. Finn was never into romantic relationships from what I ever saw... he's married to his job. He had his wife once... that's all that he really needs I believe." She nodded, before she lifted her hood once more to meet his front in a nuzzle, laying a gentle kiss on his lips. "And I'm rather relieved nothing happened... as then I don't think I would have found you" She murmured to the plane, rubbing against him gently.

Raine: Miles, Doc

The Ferrari was glad she had managed to divert the Branford away from the room, sticking close to his side in an attempt to make sure he was ok. "What that was? That was you... trying to escape your past I guess... only being drawn back toward it" She sighed, though she wasn't sure how accurate she was, only really her opinion. A sudden thought occured to her that perhaps made her shudder a little. If Miles came to depend on her to not slip back to his old ways... what if something happened to her? Who would be there to stop him? If she was taken from in by any means of the word... what would he do? How would he cope? She bit her lip as she thought more, unsure of what to actually think... She glanced to Miles and gave him a reassuring smile, though suddenly didn't know what was best for him. Would it be better for him for her to be distant, so he could still cope but not depend? She didn't like the idea herself... She was always the more affectionate type... when she was with those she cared about at least. So the idea of being more cold and distant... it hurt, but maybe it was what was required to ensure he wouldn't slip back to his old ways should anything happen to her.

"I... well I helped you because... I saw your suffering within my own. I knew what you had gone through.... I.. knew what it was like to not have that support, and I wanted to make sure at least one other didn't go through it alone" She sighed here, thinking back to her talk with him. "At that point... whether I was out to deceive you was irrelevant to me. I knew that another individual was suffering... I wanted to help" She spoke now, looking to her tires and twisting one a little. "I... didn't form an attachment willingly, I will admit. It just sort of... developed without me really checking. I could have... tried to at least stop myself but... I rather liked the feeling... it's a unique thing... developing feelings for someone because suddenly things are different... and I liked it" She admitted finally, glancing up to Miles and smiling lightly again.

She smiled a little wider when he admitted he'd like the same as her, and she couldn't help but feel like she was glowing inside. "I'm glad... I really am... and I don't doubt that we can have that...." She spoke, settling on her tires a little more. "I don't doubt that you will live up to who I want... I chose you after all... what more can I say? That should be enough" She spoke gently, noting him nuzzling her shortly after. She thought about her earlier point of perhaps remaining a bit more distant, though this all fled as he showed her this affection... she couldn't do that... not to him. She returned the nuzzle after a moment, pressing into his side and pushing herself against him to settle, her tires a little splayed to the side. She nested her hood into the side of his and spoke in gentle terms, a light smile on her face. "Just think... a lovely large house... overlooking perhaps a small english town, somewhere like Cornwall, a lovely country place... we'd have our own land, we could have whatever we wanted on it.... perhaps a small Ferrari or Branford zipping round the area... playing and laughing as we watch on....What would you think to that?" She smiled gently, rubbing herself softly on his side.

[Titanic X 21]

Spray - Finn

The black plane gritted his teeth. "D*****!" he muttered. "So much for destroying that..."

Still, the presence was dreadful, and he didn't like it. To hear that they had died needlessly...and were angry because of it... That alone made him hate Tenebras and Carew even more. Those poor innocent vehicles had died all for no reason, and it made him feel sick to his stomach. He had to do something to calm them down, or... something! But what?

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. 'If only they knew... I just wish that they hadn't died needlessly in this war... I just wish...that they could calm down... Once this is over, I'll try to help them find peace... Somehow..' he thought to himself.

As soon as those words passed through his mind, a soft presence was felt. Not hateful, but... Something else...?

'W-wha?'

[Niixa]

Harper: Blade

She couldn’t help but smile and roll her eyes then, “Men.” Although, she was impressed that he was able to do such a thing on only a few hours rest. “Not bad though~” She’d had a similar experience, taking a few shots from a gun and managing to fly the almost 50 mile trip to the hospital with a bad oil leak, but she refrained from telling it aloud, it wasn’t heroic, it was dumb luck if anything.

“It’s going stay patched up as well.” She said sternly but with a hint of playfulness, she wasn’t going to let Doc’s hard work go to waste, they owed him a lot for fixing them under stress and in a difficult situation. “... Well you better get used to hearing them again then.” He at least had the experience of hearing them before, she hadn’t been told such things herself, her past partner had said it once actually but not in the same manner, it was a command rather a than a statement. Her attention was drawn to the dark as he pointed it out, even from where they were, it felt cold, the type of cold that snatch your heart in a split second if it could. “Yeah.. I feel it.." She could have sworn she felt a presence in there as well, not another vehicle as such but something was in there. ".. We should stay away from that room."

She felt the ship pick up speed as well, feeling relieved to be away from that vortex but it also meant they were getting closer to facing off with Carew. Oh joy. "I'm still going to worry, even if you have survive all that s*** already.." The worry had been building for a long while and not just for him, she was worried for Shadow as well, she'd only just gotten her friend back and now the threat of them losing this fight was ever present, it was making her feel sick. "Well at least one us can say they don't have regrets.. I've got a lot of making up to do.." Her words trailed off a little, exhaustion was catching up fast with her and she was terribly close to falling asleep. "I'm glad you don't have regrets though.. you haven't done anything wrong..."

[DexEuromat]

(( Alright, I'm slowly going for daily routine now with new work place. So posting will go normally ))

Dexter - Radar

He looks on the Awacs plane and lowers his voice, he really did not want to shout. Meanwhile he felt something odd. The change of the dimensions was something he did not expect so quickly but it was a slight electricity coming through his body. That feeling was something different, like there is something bad on the ship. It was something strange to him, like a ghosty presence of some kind of force moving around.
He smiled to Radar "I see you got better, I hope we get to safe place soon." he said. "Do you feel a presence of something here? I can't tell what it is but I have a bad feeling about it" he then whispered.

[Dusty Crophopper]

"Hey... it's all right." Connor nodded here. "I just... well want you in the best condition possible for our upcoming fight." the Corolla informed her here. "And I mean it... we need you at the top of your game." He looked over to Finn here, who glanced to them.

"We should probably drop the vessels off somewhere safe first and regroup... then figure out where Carew's gone and what he plans to do." Finn informed them here. "Spray... get us to land... wherever you think is safe to set down... of course... with Carew's nuclear arsenal... that might not matter. No place may be safe." the Faultless muttered here.

"Heh... wouldn't dream of winning you around... I'm not even trying to do that." Connor pointed out here. "Not at all... as said... this is a truce... so I suppose... at some point... it'll be over." he sighed now. His face fell here though as she brought up the fact that mother would most likely make him choose after this truce what he was doing. "I... that's something I've been pondering myself." the Corolla sighed here. "Yes... I know I'd be hunted but... ugh... well... now that I'm seeing the opposite side of the coin... I just... I dunno sis. It's something I have to think long and hard about... I can't come to a decision lightly on it." He sighed.

"Well... it's something to consider at least." Dusty piped up now.

"Heh... suppose I could always..." Connor paused here, trailing off as he shook his front slightly and thought better of saying whatever it was he was going to say.

Dusty smiled as she rubbed his underbelly with her hood. "Yeah well... it will be... nauseating is one minor side effect... but yes... you'll feel that." He sighed here, but smiled again and nudged her a bit as she moved back. He listened to her story now, smirking a bit as she mentioned her rather large crush on Finn. "Ha! I knew there was something there!" he declared. "But uh... well he does seem rather married to his work." Dusty confessed here. "Still... yeah... I'm glad... because..." he kissed her back lightly as her lips met his own. "It's... good we ended up together. Heh... if you'd been with Finn well... guess I'd still be alone." He commented, looking off ahead of him and above her as he just thought of it. "But you don't know how glad I am to know you in this way." he stated, nodding at her here and resting his chin on her hood and smiling in a relaxed fashion.

Miles - Tags: Raine, Doc

"Yes... I think that goes without saying." Miles glanced at Doc here. The Branford had a few dents and smashed parts on him, particularly near his front, where he'd rammed Tenebris and run into Raine after Tenebris had teleported away. "Am... am I OK?" he asked here. "Yes..." he looked over at Raine as she began speaking. "Yes... drawn back... I could feel it... feel it tugging at me... luring me in." he confessed, wincing a little now. "Heh..." He smiled at her here. "Yes... unique feeling... due to unique circumstances." He agreed. "Well I... that makes you a good person then... wanting to help me despite your mission to deceive us. You must've seen me in more pain than you could resist trying to help so... I... I am grateful for that." he told her sincerely next.

"Heh..." He was glowing as she nuzzled him back, smiling affectionately at her as he kept up his nuzzles, then met her gaze. "Yes... well... you did choose me... and I do want to live up to who you want." he said now, a bit earnestly. He smiled widely at her description of their future life, blinking a little here as tears sprang to his eyes. "It sounds... like more than I deserve but... I can picture it... yes... yes I can picture it. The... children especially though... for some reason heheh... Cornwall is remote but just imagine a place like... Scone Palace or something... a castle!" he said here, grinning. "Heheh... I'm sure I could afford one at some point!" he declared. "What would you say to that? A big castle so our children could zip around in it and have lots of room for more!" he winked now.

Blade - Tags: Harper

"Heh... what's THAT supposed to mean?" he asked, nudging her a bit here playfully. "But yeah... more like incredible endurance I'd say! That's the most I'd ever got out of myself I think!" He admitted here. "Heh... yeah... stay patched up." He agreed, nodding here and wincing a tad. "OK... best not move like that." He reminded himself. "Ohhhh yeah... I will get used to hearing it more often... that's... something I'd like I think." he smiled here, a rare sight for him, but it made him look nice if anything.

He glanced warily to that room again, and pursed his lips. "Yeah... no sense going in there... it's... it's dark, that's for sure." Blade felt fortunate in that he didn't have much darkness in his heart, if any. The chopper took notice of her looking woozy or... ill and he let concern flood his features. "Hey... you OK?" he asked now. "Uhhh..." He paused here. "I wouldn't say I have... NO regrets... but... I'm learning to... bury... the past. Put it to rest so to speak... I... well I wouldn't be here now if things had gone differently. No idea what kind of life I'd be leading but knowing Nick... I'd probably be a big time actor in the fast lane." He sighed here. "Or... maybe just fade away after a bit, who knows?" he shrugged his blades here, turning them upward a bit.

"You look uh... wiped out... maybe you should... try and rest?" he suggested here. "I wouldn't be offended if you really need it." he informed her, that concerned look back on his face.

[ShadowWolfCelica]

Shadow: Connor, Finn, Dusty

"Heh If you say so... Though even if I'm half missing, I can still fight" Shadow grinned at this point, unable to stop the smile that crawled across her face. "When I joined CHROME, I planned to be the best agent that ever lived.... I still intend on doing that you know" She winked to her brother, though notice his glance toward Finn, and she did the same. She gave Finn a soft smile as he began to lay out the plans, nodding her hood a little.

"I did actually ponder as to how we would find out what's happened to Carew... we left him in the other world remember" Shadow now spoke to Finn, concern crossing her features. "I'm not sure how we are meant to track him... we stole his ship after all, though I'm sure he could have another one somewhere..." Shadow half countered herself, though shook her hood. She tutted at the Faultless as he spoke, giving him a reassuring look. "Finn, we've pulled out of each and every scenario that we've ever faced. And we've been through a lot. Altogether we're going to end this and then you and I can look back at this as our biggest achievement... We've always looked after one another Finn... and we always will, right?" She pressed the Faultless a little, though only to make him feel better.

The Celica looked slightly uncomfortable when Connor returned the subject back to their truce, and what to do after. "Trust me... if you ever think you've won me round... it's probably to betray you later on. I don't ever intend to return to that hole of a life... And I'm afraid you nor mother can make me.... Though you speak of this choice as if it's the worst one you could ever make... I'm afraid to say you've made much worse ones. I get that it's harder for you as you've been there your entire like, but is a life of murder and being on the run really that much fun?"

She noted that Connor seemed to start a point, before nodding her hood a little. "No, go on" She encouraged, offering a smile.

As Dusty confirmed that he thought there was something between her and Finn, she snapped her jaws at him, and pretended to scold him. "Pff pipe down you silly plane!" She smirked, batting him a little with her tire. She then settled again upon their kiss, rubbing her tire on his pontoon once again after. She glanced down as he mentioned being alone, and it got her mind thinking for a while, tapping her tire on his pontoon gently. "Well.... there's nothing WRONG with being alone... I was technically alone until Leland found me... I survived but... If I were to be honest, I'd rather this" She nestled into him a little deeper here, her engine running very quietly. She let him rest on her hood, closing her eyes for a few moments as she let exhaustion wash over her, her tires splayed just a little between her weariness and the weight of them both.


Raine: Miles

"...I guess your right in that it makes me a good person though I would beg to differ. I've murdered and maimed in my own life time too... the only reason the police overlook it is cause it's criminals they've been after for years... Plus they don't know who did it... If it was one thing my father was good at, it was taking his family off the map... including the one he had before my mother and I" She more mumbled the last part, though moved on quickly. "I still agreed to deceive you... that doesn't make me good. I agreed to lead you into a trap of sorts. I know in the end I did it, but I only told you through force of tire, if I remember right... you pressed me, I didn't give it willingly" She looked to the floor here, shortly before clearing her throat. "I agreed to do those things for my own selfish purposes.. it wasn't even for anyone else's benefit. I wasn't going to be saving anyones life if I did it... not bargaining for the release of a kidnapped victim... No, I did it for my own reasons, and that's what fueled me" She spoke on, only realizing now just what lengths she had gone to... and beginning to become horrified at herself. How could she have possibly gone through with such a thing?!

She let her mind fade as he returned her affections, closing her eyes gently as he explained that he wanted to live up to her expectations... She couldn't possibly imagine how he couldn't... accept maybe by returning to his evil self and maybe murdering her a little. She smiled gently and opened her eyes a little as he described what he could picture, stiffening just a little as he mentioned a castle. It's like he could read her mind... or view into her life somehow... it was rather scary. "heh... castle you say? Why Castle?" She asked suddenly, seemingly going to a defensive mode, though it was washed away extremely quickly as she settled back into him. "Yeah... A castle would be nice... Little Marquess's and Marchoiness's driving around and playing on the grounds... that would be really rather sweet.... but Scone Palace.... no." She smirked to him, kissing his fender.

[ZAFTPrime]

Doc - Raine, Miles

Doc nodded as he looked the Branford over. "From what I can see, the damage is mostly cosmetic. I should be able to hammer out the dents, but the smashed parts may need to be replaced once we get someplace safe...although I doubt there may be a safe place anymore." Doc replied. "Aside from your...well...oil leak, you came out pretty light."

As he said those words, the Hornet got out his tools to repair dents. "This may hurt, but at least you won't have anymore dents once this is over." Doc said. "I need to keep the pain medication for those who really need it. In the case of cosmetic damages, I don't really need to administer medication anyway."

Being as gentle as he could, the former racecar began to work on getting the dents out as best as he could.
