Streak - Tags: Finn, Siddeley, Aeris

The dragon shook his wings in a dismissive way. "The jet is right in that we've got civilians," the dragon said, "but most of us can hold our own in a fight -that, or we've got minds which can be of use, I hear." Knowing full well that he could never fly at the speed they would be going. He could hardly get over Rush's stall speed after taking a dive. He stepped up onto the ramp with his front claws, slightly worried about startling the jet. It'd happened before, and he wasn't about to let it happen again... he hoped. Luckily, the jet couldn't see him... yet.

Otter - Tags: Doc, Blade

"Oh, make that three pairs of eyes," he said, motioning slightly downward to where Luka was patiently awaiting a command. It stung a bit to hear out loud that he couldn't fly. It had been something that he hated to face: the thought of forever being grounded. It was like stripping a plane of their very nature, and it quite literally hurt to know he wasn't ever going to feel the wind on his wings again. "But yes, that would be nice of you. Let's just hope I fit." He didn't doubt he would, especially with wings folded. He was a very, very small F-18 after all.

Rush - Tags: Oskar, Finn, Sorta Streak, Sorta Aeris

"Well, may I ask how far we're flying?" The question was less directed towards Oskar than it was to the silver blue Aston Martin, which he rolled up to. With his age, his range was steadily decreasing, not to mention the fact he hadn't started flying again until rather recently didn't help his case. Beforehand, however, he gave Oskar a sympathetic glance.

Finn and Oskar - Tags: Aeris, Streak, Sid, Rush

"Well it's all we've got Sid." Finn told him. "We're stretched too thin otherwise dealing with these other attacks!" he pointed out. "It's either we accept their help, or we get none at all. So I'm taking it. It's our only option." He stopped as Rush approached them and turned to face the old plane. "We're flying to another continent... let's just say." Finn said cryptically.

Oskar sighed. He knew he couldn't fly that far, and he looked downward, frowning with regret. "Yeah... I just... hate... not being able to travel far." he said softly, almost meekly. "I'm so... I'm almost like a cripple when you think about it." he said, keeping his voice down.

Finn nodded at Streak. "Yes we're not all fighters... Axlerod for example, he can think like villains can... but also like well... heroes I suppose. He'll be useful going forward." He looked from Streak to Rush, hoping he'd answered Rush's questions.

Blade - Tags: Doc, Otter

"Yeah well... let's get over there, then." Blade said. He began leading the way to the big 767. "This way! It's just ahead!" he encouraged. He noticed it had been modified with a ramp, for easier loading of aircraft. He tapped Otter occasionally to tell him he was going the right way. "Say uh... sorry... shouldn't have cracked my joke earlier." he apologized. "You know... it was... I dunno you seemed a little quiet after that so... apologies." he said, growing serious once again. "Heh... you kind of saw... sort of my old self." he explained, talking to lead Otter onward. He began heading up the ramp of the big plane, and lead the way. "I mean I was... well I was... different. More carefree I guess... willing to step out of my shell... which I never had by that point back then... and yeah... that was me a little bit." he explained, picking a spot along the length of the plane.

Miles - Tags: Shinn

Miles closed his eyes again, not responding for now as the engines' whine increased. Finally, he opened his eyes and looked over at the MiG mix. "Yes... why not? I had to do it frequently before... before prison." Miles thought to something though... his hidden stash... his account the government hadn't been able to seize. There were still a few billion dollars in that account... nowhere near his old holdings but... it was enough... if he could only access it somehow... but why? To help him escape? The thought was rather tempting but... perhaps best not to do that. He felt incredibly conflicted right now. He wanted his freedom, but he also... wanted to prove himself, in some odd fashion. It was hard to describe for him exactly how he felt, and he wasn't even sure why he was so twisted in two directions.

Sid - Tags: Finn, Aeris, Rush, Oskar, Streak

Sid nodded. "The more help the better." He then frowned. "I just don't like that Axlerod is in this as well. But, if the superiors think he may be of help, I can't complain much." He added. The jet laughed a bit at the German jet's remark. "I see you're a Komet. Take pride in your skills. I saw that whole battle. Never before have I seen any plane fly the way you did. The short range is nothing compared to your skills in the air."

Doc - Tags: Blade, Otter

Doc settled in next to Blade, a smirk on his front. He heard what the chopper had said. "Let me tell you, before Lightning came to town several years ago, I was the same way. I hid who I was as a racer from everyone there. I wasn't my true self. Before my racing career went up in smoke, I was a more relaxed car and I...heh...was a bit of a slacker in school. But after my crash in '54, I became bitter towards the racing world. I turned into a car who was serious and never tolerated messing around. So when Lightning came into town, I wanted to get him out of my life. He somehow wormed his way into my heart though, and I began to show the real side of myself. He had broken through my armor so to speak. Eventually, I couldn't hide my real self and well, I felt relieved as well as free." Doc said as he looked at the two aircraft. "So you're not the only one who did that, Blade."

Shinn - Tag: Miles

Shinn noticed Miles seemed to be conflicted, but didn't say much on the matter. "Well, either way, I hope this mission goes without a hitch. I don't know why I'm following you to be honest. My guy was just telling me to remain with you, and well, here we are." He laughed. "Lame joke, I know."

Shadow Tags: Dusty

She let him get on first, watching him intently, before following him onboard. She smiled a little at the look of him fitting into another plane, a smirk soon replacing that smile. "Well, you could always take them off later on.... Or even here, I mean, It's not too late... Your pontoons could slow you down i think..." She speculated here, looking to the pontoons here. "These jets are fitted with state of the art equipment, so, it's not like you can't use it to your advantage!" She said here, moving her the main seat she used in Siddeley, over by one of the windows, settling back on her tires a little. "So... are you sure your up to this? I know... You were effected by what happened here but.... I just want to make sure that you're.... gonna be ok. You could see more unsettling things and.... as an Agent, i'm used to it but.... I'm worried about.... Well, I just want to make sure you're ok...." She said here, looking to him with a concerned expression. "You will tell me if you feel anything negative, right?"

[ShadowWolfCelica]

((Really sorry guys, I'm pulling Shadow out. I'm not gonna be involved with this rp anymore, due to personal issues. I'm sorry, happy role playing))

[Titanic X 21]

((Why? And when will you be back?))

[Alfor]

((I'm totally brain-dead on how to reply QAQ and awwwwe ehfjs tg Shadow I hope you feel better soon! *hugs*))

[Dusty Crophopper]

((Well... I do really hope you come back. I'd hate to do this without you...))

Finn - Tags: Aeris, Streak, Sid

"Well I don't like it any more than you do Sid, but he's got a... unique way of thinking. He can think in both wicked and good terms... not many on this team can do that. So we have to abide it for now. Anyway let's go! We're wasting time!" Finn nodded and drove onto Sid now, letting his son go first. "We're ready when you are, Sid!" Finn told him.

Oskar - Tags: Rush, Sid

Oskar flinched, and closed his eyes. "I... don't consider what I do something to take... pride in." he said here, clinching his teeth. "I... I am a good combatant... but in a way I wish I wasn't..." he sighed, opening his eyes again. "I wouldn't expect you to understand but... I just... I don't like... taking pride in it. I'm useless as a plane, and only marginally better in a combat situation." he sighed heavily a second time, slumping. "Come on Herr Rush... let's board a plane. We need to go." he urged, beginning to head to another one here.

Blade: - Tags: Otter, Doc

Blade listened to Doc, and admitted... their stories were similar. But Otter was really the first one to put a dent in his armor, so to speak. "Yeah well... I... it's not someone I've been in a long... long time. I haven't ever let it out until... now... and I don't know if it's... I want to be that way again but... I don't know if I can. I'm... really... guarded these days. I dunno... what do you think, Otter?" Blade asked, hearing the big jet's engines start to spool up as the 767 came back to life.

Miles - Tags: Shinn

"Er... yes." Miles gave him an uneasy smile. "Yes I... hope it's a success too. And your gut, eh?" Miles regarded him quizzically. "An instinct?"

Dusty - Tags: Shadow

He considered what she said about being able to change his parts here. "Uhh... do they have like landing gear that I use?" he asked curiously, blinking. "I mean not that I don't like my pontoons but heheh... there's gotta be a limit, right? But still that's... kind of cool." he agreed, nodding here. He listened to what she said, and his face fell here. "I... I don't know if I am." he confessed to her. "You see I'm... I was really affected by it. And I don't know if I'm going to be OK. I know fully well I could see more... things I might not want to see. I'm feeling..." he trailed off here, looking right at her.

"I'm feeling a lot of negative things..." he said softly. "I just... I hope I can help... I hope I can... bring this all to an end. Because... I don't want to experience what I just went through. Not again. No more killing of... of innocents. No more... attacking of my town." Dusty said. "I can't... I can't deal with that again. And well... I just hope I can... help." He reiterated.

[ZAFTPrime]

((Dusty, can I claim Lightning as a character? Shadow has given me permission to.))

Sid - Tags: Finn, Aeris, Streak

"All set to go anytime." Sid replied as he felt the two cars and the...dragon...enter his interior. He looked back at the small Komet leaving and felt a bit bad. The smaller jet didn't seem to be that proud of himself. Sid frowned even deeper. He could tell that jet was a World War II plane, but didn't push it any further. They had a mission to complete.

Doc - Tags: Blade, Otter

Doc didn't say anything else, but he did listen in. Blade seemed to be conflicted about going back to who he used to be. The Hornet didn't press home the issue though. As much as he wanted to help the chopper out, he didn't want to push Blade into retreating from what small progress he had made. Still, the helicopter couldn't remain uptight forever, and he knew it all too well. If Lightning hadn't come into his life, then he would have remained grumpy until he died.

Shinn - Tag: Miles

Shinn shrugged again. "Yeah, you could say that. Been in the service for about three and a half years. My training is top-notch, but I didn't exactly have a good first entrance into the military. That aside, my training instructors told me to trust my gut if something was off, and well, I did just that. And well, here I am!" He replied with a sheepish grin. His sharp teeth were revealed, but not to the extent that they would be if he was in battle.

[Dusty Crophopper]

((I checked with her. You can. It'll be conditional though in case she wants him back sometime. All right; time to get this RP rolling again!))

Finn - Tags: Aeris, Sid, maybe Streak

Finn nodded and looked at his son. "Ready? Let's go! All right Sid! We're good to go!" He called, positioning himself in one of the "chairs" for flight. "You know our destination, and I'll be sending it to other members of the team soon enough." Finn explained. "Ready whenever you are!"

"You ever flown on a jet before?" he asked his son, eyes glinting with an odd light as he seemed to smile widely at the prospect of being with his son on their first flight together.

Miles - Tags: Shinn

Miles felt his jet start to rise. They could do vertical takeoffs like Sid, and the Rover closed his eyes as he felt his tank lurch a tad at the elevating sensation. As they began to accelerate through the sky, Miles reopened his eyes and gazed out the window. "I've never been... good in small planes. Always tried to fly on the 747s myself." he commented. "And when they were available, the A380s. VERY comfortable, those aircraft. Err..." he hit the switch on the side of his seat, and narrowed his eyes. "Hey! Jet! Sorry to ask but... can you play some tunes? Something tells me we're in for a long flight so... at least switch something on we can kind of... relax to or enjoy!" Miles insisted. The jet grumbled, but did as he was asked, his speakers suddenly coming to life and scanning for a channel.

A guitar riff suddenly started playing, and Miles smiled as he recognized the tune, tapping his tire to the beat as the guitar kept playing. "That's more like it! The Doobie Brothers! Eh, not my first choice, but a good one all the same!" he declared as "China Grove" was playing. The piano came in, and Miles was bobbing his front to the music now. "Can't complain! So uh... hope you like it!" Miles flashed an uneasy grin over at Shinn here as they rocketed through the skies. Miles looked out the window again, and could see they were heading... south. The sun was to their east, so it had to be south. Where they were going... he couldn't say. The southern US? The southern hemisphere? He hoped it wouldn't be too far, but somehow thought it would be, given the 767's presence.
