{More Atlanteans} Eli, Mal, and Aric

Elijah Breed

*Immediately after we park we do a weapons and ammo check. I reflexively check my ankle straps for my combat blades and smile when I see Malcolm grab a badass looking claymore... When we are satisfied we are prepared for whatever eventuality we might find, we start walking towards the dock's offices.*

• 
  Malcolm MacBain *Staying within the shadows they make their way past the barricades. Two ships were in dock and all was quiet except for the sound of the water as it lapped against the hull of the ship. With Elijah and Aric close behind him they slipped in the dark office.* Look for the manifest lads. Hopefully it will give us a clue to what's been going on.

• Aric Chase *he heads for the furthest file cabinet while Eli heads for the other end. They begin to quickly go through everything, file by file. Anything that looked remotely important was placed on the desk for Malcolm to weed through. Going drawer by drawer, they quickly dig through the drawers, not being quiet in their haste. At a sudden motion from Eli everyone falls silent as footsteps walk by the door.* Damn. *He whispers.* That was close.

  Elijah Breed *After the footsteps sound fades away, I stop going through the file cabinets and look at the computer station . I smile. If I learned anything from Gideon , I could probably do a basic hack of the system. Sitting at the terminal, my fingers fly on the keyboard. These guys weren't creative enough to keep me from accessing their electronic files. I start looking at the latest manifestos when something catches my eye* Malcolm , Aric lookie here... A vessel named Queen of the Seas...what an odd manifesto! Transporting "personnel" for their Aberdeen offices? But this is a cargo ship!

  Malcolm MacBain *Peeking through the slates of the blinds he watched as three heavily armed males pass in front of the building and then stopped. They were huddled in conversation before one of them broke off and disappeared around the corner* Eli, Aric I think we are about to have company. *As he spoke the last word several shots were fired, shattering glass through out the room. Hitting the floor he quickly drew his weapon and returned fire* ARIC, ELI, let's get the hell out of here!

  Aric Chase * They hit the ground as the bullets and glass fly through the office. He quickly makes his way toward to door at the back of the office, Eli and Malcolm on his heels. He throws open the door and fires a few rounds before entering the hallway. He watches as the bullets rip into the guards body. He grins, waiting for the human to fall. instead the guard growls and launches at him.* Oh hell. No guns! No guns!. These aren't humans. *He dodges to the side and pulls out his blade, just in time to fend off a powerful swing of the guards sword. Growling with rage, his eyes instantly transforming in his anger, he combats with the guard, hoping for a lucky break. The guard swings again, giving him the opening he needed. With a quick jab, he knocks the guard off balance and, in one quick step, buries his knife in his neck. With a feral roar he twists the knife and rips it out sideways, decapitation the guard.*

  Elijah Breed *A bright light poured out of the guard's severed neck just as a symbol started to form on the palm of his hand, illuminated from within...a teardrop falling in the cradle of a crescent moon. Exactly like Kellan and Nathan had reported during their respective debriefings at headquarters... GODDAMNED ATLANTEANS.
  
  Eli assessed the situation in front of him with cold efficiency. He was Nathan 's second in command and his captain had trained him mercilessly and tirelessly to face situations like this. His training clicked on in a matter of seconds. Three soldiers, one down. Aric had done a work of beauty on that Atlantean! The two remaining wielded swords...tactical disadvantage for Eli, who only had his combat blades on him. However, they looked momentarily disoriented by their comrade's death. Eli smiled. Tactical advantage for him.
  
  Using all of his Breed preternatural speed, Eli rushed to the soldier closest to him. He vaulted up and pivoted in mid air kicking the sword out of the stunned Atlantean hand. Using the momentum of his kick, he cut the soldier's throat cleanly and deeply. When the Atlantean stumbled to the floor Eli pinned him with his knee, grabbed him by the hair and finished the decapitation with another cut from his serrated combat blade. Another bright beam of light erupted from the soldier's severed neck. He turned around on his heels to check out on Aric and Malcolm *

  Malcolm MacBain *With his claymore held high and fangs bared he let out a deadly roar as he sprinted after the third male. His muscles ached as he struggled to close the distance. Rounding a corner he came to a sudden halt. His opponent had no place to go* Hold it right there mate. Don't make this any harder on yerself than necessary. *The male stood there unmoving his legs braced widely apart as he stared into Malcom's eyes Slowly opening his hand he revealed a small tear drop crystal. Speaking in a tongue the warrior didn't not recognize the small jewel started to glow. As the warrior took a step towards his adversary the male suddenly disappeared in a bright light.* WHAT the hell? *Whipping around at the sound of running foot steps he quickly relaxed when he realized it was the young warriors* HE's gone. Vanished!
