private The Black Phoenixes: Decent into Madness

Raze sighed. "That's not what I meant. Honestly, no need to argue. I'm not here to start a fight with you, just... I don't need you showing that off. Yes, we can use that for the mission, so save it for later, when we really DO need it. Got it?"

 

He sighed once more. "I'm really not in mood for surprises..."

"You do know that each and every pony has a variation in their power when it comes to magic, and that the ability of magic can be extended through intensive training. I don't know about you pegacorn, but I've gone through 30 years in service, and have since retired, wouldn't you think that my magic be just a tad bit more powerful than the average unicorn? If you feel insulted, consider everyone else who does not have the privilege to change their form at whim, because I tell ya now buddy, there's more powerful things than you that could have been on this mission."

Fire sharp could think of a few, actually many if she tried hard enough. But as a proud mare she didn't like being insulted, especially on her magic since she was a unicorn and a former general in the Equestrian Military. It was only the fact that she was retired was why she was even on this mission, she should have been home enjoying her last years but instead she was here out on a mission. 
She wasn't about to be disrespected.

Interesting. That's the source of the the disturbance. It has an air of our wraiths around it, but very few souls are collected from that area. He smiled slightly. Well, that's two birds with one stone.

 

Agririon then turned to Onyx. "Well, kind sir, I take offence to that, even if it only a small amount. Not only is the term 'wraith' quite oversimplified, I do not torture ponies unless they deserve it, I don't do it in this realm unless I have to, and I'm certainly not going to be doing any 'torturing' in this huge metal can that I am wearing- albeit, it does remind me of my armor from a while ago sans energy cannon. But let's drop this for now and get on with the mission. What is the ETA until insertion, Raze?"

 

He sighed... but then started and looked around. Something chilling had just passed through here. Something feeling familiar... and chaotic...

Glory was feeling shy, especially when she heard the others discussing her. Being a pegacorn was difficult enough without all this discord... which was ironic, given that her father was generally considered to be an expy of Discord, due to his chaos powers. Glory's mother Starfall had told her that was horsefeathers, however she was still afraid of him. Glory herself had never met her father, but some part of her wanted to.

Just as Raze was about to answer, the pilot spoke to them over an intercom. "We're here."

 

Raze stood up. "Alright, we're hovering 200 feet over the location of the bunker right now. You need to jump, but don't worry. Your suit is equipped with an inertia dampener, which will cushion the impact of the fall. It'll activate once you reach a certain speed in the air, at least 40 mph."

 

He looked at his group. "Everyone ready?"

[Rascal~ 657]

@,
Fire noded at Raze, and then the lower part of the plane started to open up. Fire had been in many air jumps, and this was probably easier since the suit would do all the hard work for her. 
She walked closer, and then jumped up of the plane into the air, with the wind rushing past her and picking up speed quickly. Soon enough the suit did its job and she could feel an almost like cushion feeling near her stomach, and then she hit the ground.

Optyx stepped up to the edge of the ship, he then proceeded to moonwalk off the platform and began free falling through the air. Optyx was closing in on the ground and suddenly his suit kicked in and the boosters stopes from from splattering all over the ground. Optyx looked around and made note of hi surroundings while he waited for the rest of the team to hit the ground.

Onyx was nearly ready to jump when he remembered he was still disguised as Raze. He thought for a moment, then turned towards Glory.

"Mind if I borrow your body?"

He flashed into her form, and jumped off the plane backwards, laughing. Spinning himself upright mid-air, he used her wings to steady himself and aim him landing spot. Landing softly on the ground, he chuckled inside as he knew Raze and the others might think he actually was Glory. He'd tell them he was not, but the thought of it to him was funny.

"Excellent." Agririon grinned evilly as he looked over at the others. "Well, time to prepare Mortus for some new arrivals..."

"... This wasn't how I pictured falling out of the plane!"

 

When he had jumped, his entire suit had turned sideways because of the weight of the gun. His legs were flailing in a motion that was certainly not graceful to any degree- if anything, it was quite comical. But when the boosters kicked in, he found himself righting quickly before landing - while not exactly softly, then at least without damaging the armor. "Well, that was eventful," he murmured to himself as he was quickly remembering why he didn't like dropping out of flight. He then started to look around, awaiting Raze and Glory to join them on the ground.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Glory was taken aback by the changeling asking to borrow her body, then changing into her. She took note, however, of the way he used wings to slow his descent and decided to copy it for her own landing. She spread her wings and gracefully descended to the ground, landing next to the group already there. Her suit wasn't very heavy; the medickits didn't add to the weight very much, and Glory was thankful for this.

[Jack Baker 698]

Raze took a deep breath, then took a running jump off the carrier. He descended quickly to the ground, the heavy rain flying past him. Suddenly, the suit kicked in, a force-field like thing appearing from under his boots. It seemed to do its job, as Raze was quickly slowing down as he got closer to the ground. Finally, he touched the ground, the landing making as little noise as possible.

 

"Alright, everyone okay? Speak up so I know that you're here, and that you didn't injure yourself somehow."

@, "I'm here," Glory said, trying to speak loudly enough to be heard, which was unusual for her. Glory hated attracting attention to herself normally. Still, Raze had asked this of her, so she tried to obey the direct order, to show that if there was going to be trouble, it wasn't going to be her causing it.

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

@,

 

Agririon shook himself again, ensuring- more for personal sake- that his armor was still on and functional, and sighed. "Up," he said simply, shaking his head and looking at the others, glaring at them behind the mask. Let's get this over with and move along... I don't want to be here all year.

Raze looked around to see that the rest of his teammates were ok, which they were. "Alright, let's move it!" he said to them, leading them to the bunker entrance. After opening the door, he walked in observing his surroundings. The space itself was very wide, allowing all six of them to fit through. There wasn't really anything, except what appeared to be a lift that only seemed to go down. Raze led the group on toward the lift, then tried to find a button to make it work. Suddenly, a holographic interface popped up, with the word "Activate" written on it. He pressed it, and suddenly the lift began to go down.

 

A few minutes later, they arrived at the actual bunker. The first thing Raze saw once the lift had stopped was a short straight hallway, with two pathways at the end going right and left.

 

"Ok, let's split. Agririon and Glory, you're with me. We'll go right. The rest of you take the left path," he said.
