The ultimate shield growled and lept out of the way of the bile. He got to the chimera and rather than attack it's skull, he simply smashed his clawed hand through it's eye, ripping out the gunk.
----------------
Martel rose an eyebrow at the man's order. Did he really expect them to just go with him, no fight? Well, if that were the case, he had another thing coming. She glanced at Loa, then at her knife in its sheath. "Sorry, but don't expect me to wait too much longer" she told her comrades, knowing they'd disagree with what she was saying.

The ninja chimera was truely surprised at the robbed man's reaction. 'EEK!!'?! That had been the last he had expected as reaction from an evil enemy that was treathening them. Especially as Dorochette hadn't even attacked yet or anything. Though he did very much like such a reaction. However what came next he liked a lot less as a bunch of soldiers rushed in, holding their riffles ready. Dorochette growled at the soldiers as he bared his fangs threateningly and tightened his gripp on his sword. He should be able to handle about half of the men or at least a third of them if he was quick enough, Roa could get the others and if the weird tall robbed man was such a coward he should be little probleme as long as they kept an eye on him (you never knew).
Loa held a dangerouse frown as he looked at the men. "You're still holding 2 babies." He reminded her as he lifted his huge hamer. Ready to start bashing some skulls.
Dorochette on his turn was ready for some serious slicing the enemy as well as as soon as one of the soldiers had made a move (of nervousness probably) he made a move as well. Starting the fight as he sliced his way through some soldiers. At first he had been reluctant about a fight near the babies but the soldiers knew they needed them alive so they wouldn't shoot in Martels direction. Also Dorochette figured that going for the leader would be the best move as he was cutting his way through the soldiers to reach the capped cowardly man.

The chimera screeched in pain and started swinging its head around violently. Mad with rage, it started swinging its claws at Greed again, spewing bile all over the place.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Lord Nikanoru, they seem intent on resisting. Your orders?" inquired one of the soldiers.
Nikanoru brought his sleeve to his mouth once again, frowning thoughtfully. It did not surprise him that they would want to put up a fight. From what he had been told about them, they were quite stubborn individuals. Nevertheless, they did not have a chance against two whole squadrons of heavily armed soldiers. They would be slaughtered if they tried anything.
He watched as the chimera cut through the soldiers, and despite his fear, he remained completely controlled. "Your courage is truly commendable, but it would be foolish to take on so many soldiers by yourselves," he spoke smoothly, lips curving into an icy grin.
The soldiers remained completely still, their rifles all pointed at the chimeras. Although their allies were falling, Nikanoru had yet to give them the okay to attack.
He paused for a moment, then continued, his smile growing: "You may be able to withstand an onslaught of bullets, but I doubt those children there would be able to, even if they are descendants of a homunculus. The Fuhrer wishes that they be kept alive, but I can always tell him that they were killed in the crossfire."
As he spoke, the soldiers pointed their guns at the children. They had been told that obtaining the twins was one of their objectives, but their survival was not entirely necessary. The main purpose of the assault was to test the abilities of the chimeras being developed in the laboratories.
"I suggest you follow me. Mmhmhm...."

In retaliation to the chimera's thrasing, Greed simply impaled it through the neck. Once he had a hold on the poor things spine, he pulled hard, tearing it out.
----------------
"You sick fuck" Martel hissed at Nikanoru as the soldiers pointed their rifles at her babies. Instictively, she held them closer to her. If any of these bastards made a move at them, she wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

Dorochette had started to get fairly close to Nikanoru with his sword when said man gave the coment about the twins and the soldiers changed their aim to the two infant. Dorochette instantly froze at this glaring at the man before eventually dropping his sword a fraction as he stepped over to stand by Roa's side as they somewhat protectively stood in front of Martel and her babies. They could impossibly play both human shield and fight at the same time but if they weren't able to fight the least they could do was the human shield attempt.

"Take them" Martel told the bull and dog chimeras glancing at the babies. She wanted to kill this bastard man for his actions, especially ordering the soldiers to kill her children if need be. Hell, even the chimeras who'd been assasins don't stoop low enough to shoot newborns! A guy like this had to die.

Fuhrer Bradley stepped forward, applauding when he saw the corpse of the chimera on the ground. It had incredible offensive abilities, but its defense was lacking. He would certainly have to tell his master about that when he filed his report. Turning to Greed, he gave him a smile.
"Such incredible strength! Master was right to test you. I must say I'm impressed."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikanoru silently observed them as they stood protectively in front of their comrade. They were truly courageous, but that was something to be expected of former soldiers. Although they had been traumatized and manipulated by the government they had once served, they were still men of honor at heart. Needless to say they would not sit idly by as the lives of children were threatened, especially those of their closest friend.
He folded an arm against his abdomen and rested his chin against his knuckles, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "As if this weren't troublesome enough! Now it looks like I'll have to eliminate both of you."
Pausing for a moment, he looked at the mass of soldiers that surrounded them. "You won't be able to attack these men and protect the children at the same time. If they open fire, you'll have to retaliate if you want to survive. And if you give your lives for the young woman, we'll only take her afterward. So you see, your little plan won't work out."

"Test me? What for?" Greed asked, a little confused by what Pride had said.
------------
Martel frowned profusely at what the strange man said, even if he did have a point. She told them once again to take the babies from her, so she could attack the bastard herself. "Just do it" she said, keeping her voice even so they'd know she was serious with the order.

Both chimera's ignored their friends demand copleetly as they staid unmoved in front of her.
"We're not moving." Loa said without hesitation, to both the man in robs as Martel.
"We might not be able to fight and protect them at once but at least we could make sure that none of your cowardly idiots you call a special forceses team will hurt any of them when losing their nerv." Dorochette growled as he nodded at the soldiers. Who didn't all looked as happy to be there when they took in the consideration of their few dead comarades on the ground.

Fuhrer Bradley gave him a mildly confused look, still smiling. "You don't remember? Several weeks ago you were showing off your true power to our master. She wants to see just what you are capable of."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikanoru chuckled behind his sleeve, shaking his head. "If you take one step toward me, my soldiers will open fire on your children. I'm afraid you've lost, my dear."
After deflating her balloon of hope, he turned his attention to the other two chimeras. He smiled mockingly at their defiance, then addressed them smoothly: "You have a point. But even if my men cannot kill the twins, I have someone who can. So I suggest you end this charade and come along quietly before I lose my patience."

Greed shrugged slightly. "I usually try to forget anything involving Dante" he said calmly. It usually led to less than happy memories.
-----------------
"You're just going to kill us anyway, so why should we follow you?" Martel asked. She knew what they planned to do with the chimeras. The babies had some use to Dante, the three chimeras did not. So, most obvious thing would be to get rid of them, wouldn't it?

"Martel...he has a point....you both do." Dorochette said eventually as Roa staid quite. It might not be a nice thing to say but it would indeed be the hard reality. "There is no need for those children to die. And preferable not for us either." The dog chimera added. In all honestly he was suggesting partly a surrender. Give them the babies or at least one of the two and make a clean escape.

Pride chuckled at his response. "Of course. Now that you've killed the chimera, what do you plan on doing? Protecting your friends and children are not an option, considering that..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikanoru looked them over, the cold smile on his face growing slightly. He had them backed up into a corner, and even though it took them a while, they finally realized that they were defeated. Their escape had failed, and they played directly into the hands of the Fuhrer.
"Being the merciful man that I am, I'm willing to make a little wager with you. If you hand over the children right now, I will let you escape through that tunnel. I'm not promising that you won't be discovered on the other side, but at least you'll have a chance to survive."
He paused, looking over at the secret entrance. "It would be wise to take me up on my offer. No matter what you do, the children are coming with me. You can either die by the rifles of my soldiers here or try to make it through the tunnel. Your choice."

"Why do you say that?" the homunculus asked, actually very confused. How did his killing the brainless monsters mean he couldn't defend his subordinates or children?
---------------
Martel narrowed her eyes at the man when he suggested her handing over her babies. She hissed angrily at him before speaking. "You really think I'm going to hand them over to you?" she asked, the look in her eyes saying she'd kill him before that happened.

Dorochette and Roa exchanged a glances. They hated the sucking situation just as much but some of them had keep their head cool and be realist. And as Martel was more than very likely to kill Dorochette later on for having knocked her out earlier, he decided it couldn't get much worse. "What's the catch?" He asked Nikanoru as he glared at hims suspiciously. Martel would go bezerk but if they had to pick between getting slip up again or all deing and it making no chance...the choice was hard but logic. Maybe someday she would see that and forgive them...by the time they turned 120 or something, on condition that they got out now.

Pride motioned toward the entrance to the Devil's Nest, which was wide open and surrounded by loads of his soldiers. "By fighting the chimera, you left your friends completely vulnerable. The twins are now in my custody, and according to one of my men, your lover was killed in the assault. Such a shame..."
-------------------------------------------------
Nikanoru sighed heavily and turned his attention to the other chimeras. Clearly he was not going to get anywhere with the blonde one. Then again, that was not very surprising, since she was a mother defending her children. Nevertheless, he had a schedule to keep, and these fools were starting to get on his nerves.
"Would you please take the children from her and give them to me? This offer I so graciously extended to you is only temporary. Her life depends upon your decision. Either way, the children are mine now."
When the chimera asked what the catch was, he rubbed his temples in annoyance. "There's no catch. I have a mission to take care of after this, and you fools are keeping my hands tied. I don't want to waste any more time on you, but I will if I must. So are you going to hand over the children or not?"

Greed growled, but didn't say anything to Pride. He knew either way Pride would say the same thing. If he hadn't fought the chimera, Pride would've sicked it on his comrades. He also didn't believe Pride when he said Martel was dead-----though that may have just been denial.
----------------
"Not a chance in hell" Martel hissed, looking at Dorochet and Loa. It was unfortunate that looks couldn't kill, because if they could, neither of the chimeras would be alive at the moment.

"Hey keep the pressure to yourself would you!" Dorochette snapped at Nika. "You're asking us to choice between riffles and an angry snake mother, either way we'll end up dead." Dorochette sighed as he turned to Martel with an uneasy look. "Sorry." He said eventually as he looked a little helpless and miserable at her.
Roa took a tight (but not painful) grip on Martel as Dorochette took Ariana and Rico from her.
Dorochette glared at the man as he cautciously carried the two infants over. "There. Now you have no reason for any more bloodshed, right?!" The ninja said as he held on to his sword as he handed over the babies. After this at the slightest word Martel would say of it he would go harakiri if she asked him to.
(Nika his name's too hard to type all the time sorry XP does it bothe you if I did it like this once in a while?).

"You're doing what he says?" Martel asked, unable to believe it. How could her closest companians just hand over her children to the enemy? She turned to Loa and said, in a dangerously low voice, "Let me go, Loa."
The children themselves simply began to wail, only becoming louder as they were handed over to Nikanoru.

Dorochette could feel a HUGE guilt trip washing over him at Martels hissing and as the babies started to cry harder. He felt like such a traithor but it was the only thingy they could do.
Loa also staid quite, going through much the same as his comorade.
