The Pheonix battle squads greatest crisis (Open to all marines)

Talithas look got even more sinister.
"That's not very informative...."
But seeing the look on his face, she concluded he really didn't know anything else.
"Okay fine! Then you wait here until we're done!"
She handcuffed him to a lamp pole and got her newly aquired den den mushi out.
"One's somewhere high, guys! No real info as to where, though!"
She looked around. There were a few high buidings around. This'd take long.
She growled and ran off.

Mary was fighting through the pirates and suddenly reached the bomb, she knelt down to slowly disarm it, she looked closely at the bomb wiring and found the answer, she pulled out the green wire which was connected to the mechanism, she had sucessfully disarmed the first bomb, she sighed and then called Talitha on the den den mushi

"TALITHA, the way to disarm the bomb is by cutting off the green wire!!!!"

"Got it!"
Talitha had a captured another pirate.
"Well, now. You do know where 'somewhere high' is? Or perhaps you have some other info?"
After checking the first few buildings for a bomb, she had decided that she needed another clue to know where to look.
It'd have been almost a funny game if it wasn't with peoples lives on the line.

The pirate laughed at Talitha "I aint telling you nothing woman!!! "

Nishki was smashing pirates in the face using Jyogan leaving a trail of bodies behind "Where the hell is the bomb?!!!!!" The pirate who was on the verge of passing out pointed west. Nishki looked, there was a library west of here. He threw the pirate aside and rushed to the library.

Talitha grinned. Part of her had wished he'd say that.
"Oh, won't you now?"
She flashed her claws in the light, ready to strike at some points that... would hurt. Let's just say they shouldn't ever be touched by claws.

(Somewhere high? I have no clue where that is! I don't even know if tahat town has a clock tower or anything...)

((Thats the whole point they will tell you and you work with Mary to decipher it))

The pirate then got scared "all right, all right!! its in the bloody clock tower ok!!!!"

(they do have a clock tower!)
"Thank you!"
She hit his head on the next wall, and he lost conciousness.
Then she talked into the den den mushi.
"Mary! The clock tower! The next one's in the clock tower!"
She was already storming into the direction of the high buiding while shouting.

Mary heard what Talitha said "Im too far TALITHA, you will need to disarm it, il go and see whether i can get more info about the other 3 bombs!!!"

Nishki arrived at the library just to find that everything had been in tact, he looked around "crap, where is this bomb!!!" Then it hit him, the bomb was in the books,at least one of these books. Nishki swore and proceeded to check the books in the library.

2 hours remaining

"Damn, is that thing high!"
It seemed like she had run upstairs for ages. She was already out of breath when she reached the chamber on top, with the clockwork in it. She looked around, clutching her den den mushi.
"Any ideas where it could be?"
She looked behind some gears. This tower wasn't only high, but also had much room inside it.

MAry then thought of something "TALITHA, look at the very top of the tower, above the main clock itself, from here i can see they have a bell, the bomb might be there!!!!"

"What, seriously?"
Talitha looked up.
"There aren't any stair leading there.... Well, damn!"
Luckily, this room had windows. She punched through the glass of one when it wouldn't open.
She was a better climber in hybrid form, so she changed into it.
"Don't look down... Don't look down...."
When she finally dragged herself up to the bell, she didn't even bother to change back to human. She'd need her claws anyway.... Damn, her arm hurt.
"What now?"
She asked, looking into the bell first.

Mary then shouted "Talitha!! its inside the bell, definitely!!! hurry and look inside!!!!"

Nishki was still looking through books scratching his head, the last thing he wanted to learn was mathematics, he tossed the book aside and kept looking for the bomb.

"Well, waddaya know, it really is inside... Now, green wire, right?"
She had to jump a little to get the bomb, which was glued to the bell.
When she had it on the ground, she opened it.
"That's a lot of wires..."
She needed ome time to find the green one, but once shehad, it was quickly disarmed.
"How many does that make?"
She asked while heading for the window.

(It's a normal bomb right?)

((Yes it is a normal bomb, its quite simple,but the last one is the hardest))

Mary then counted "We have disarmed 2 bombs Talitha!!! we have 3 to go!!!"

Mary then punched the pirate who immediately revealed more information

"Talitha!!! do you see any Greenhouses up there?!!!! that is where the next bomb is!!!!"

"Greenhouses?"
Talitha let her eyes wander over the city.
"Yeah, there are some in the west, close to the town square!"
She started climbing down into the room under her. When she had solid ground under her feet again, she talked into her den den mushi.
"So, want me to go? I dunno where you are,but it'll take me a few minutes to get there."

MAry began running "NO NEED , try and get more clues Talitha and find out where Vice Admiral Nishki is!!! i havent received an update yet!!!!"

Mary was rushing to the greenhouse as per Talithas direction

Nishki was lost in books, he had seen them all, Moby Dick, White Fang. Dracula , Tale of Two cities, Mathematics year 11, , he was about to lose his mind if he couldnt find this bomb soon. He shouted "WHERE THE HELL IS THIS BOMB!!!!!"

1 hour and 30 minutes remaining.

"Right! Nishki!"
Talitha was busy rushing down the stairs, which proved to be much easier than rushing up the stairs.
Once on the street, she changed into full lynx form.
The smell of smoke and gunpowder hurt her nose and made it hard t do, but she could pick up Nishkis scent.
She followed it until it suddenly disappeared. Too much smoke.
So she changed back to hybrid form, and jumped the next pirate.
"You! The BOMB! And NISHKI! I want to know where both are!"
Don't argue with a woman when she's like this, it's dangerous. Especially when said woman is Talitha Blythe. She wasn't called "Feral" because she had a sweet temper.

The pirate could tell from the looks of this woman that she would rip him apart "ARGHH, the bomb in the library, your vice admiral guy already kicked our asses, probably over there, damn you people are strong!!!"

Mary reached the greenhouse and heard someone clapping "How wonderful that you made it here, well done on disarming two bombs, but can you disarm the others?" Mary looked up and saw the man who was laughing, he walked down and laughed. Mary recognised him "You are Leviatus Munch, the terrorist........"

Leviatus laughed "Terrorist is such a strong word, i like to think myself a revolutionary..... but i personally made sure your insanely strong boss Vice Admiral Nishki the Hero is busy with some books, HEHHAHAAHAHHAHA, how wonderful is this?!!!!"

((Presentation Box))
[Leviatus Munch]
[Captain of the Boom pirates]
[50,000,000 beli]

"THANK you!"
Talitha smashed the pirate against the wall of a house and ran towards the library. It was close, and soon, she had reached its gates. She pushed them open and stepped inside.
"Nishki?"
She shouted down the corridor. Damn, this thing was so big too!

Nishki was looking through more books and then kept looking he heard a voice that sounded like Talitha but had truly believed he was losing his mind and was hearing things.

1hour and 19minutes remaining.

No answer. And this library really was huge.
She slowly stepped inside it, and disappeared between the book shelves.
It only took her a minute to get lost. Books everywhere! And no sign of Nishki!

Nishki stopped to breath, he had looked over 300 books and nothing. He then leaned over the edge of the 2nd floor of the library and he slipped and fell down to the 1st floor on his back. he then saw Talitha "Ouch, ahh,,oh hey Talitha, you are not some dream or angel are you? i think im going crazy...."

You're not watching one second, and he came falling from somewhere...
"Pfff, an angel? I thought you knew me!"
Talitha hurried to his side and kneeled down next to him.
"I'm glad you're okay, though... Or wait, are you?"

Nishki finally got his bearings right as he sat up , then he realised something "IM SO STUPID!!! OF COURSE THE BOMB WOULDN'T BE IN THOSE BOOKS.... they are not big enough!!! it has to be in the aTLAS's!!!" Nishki rushed to the atlas's and started tearing them apart till he found the bomb, he then finally found it in the 3rd volume. He immediately cut off the green wire as per Marys instructions "YES VICTORY!!!! Talitha how many bombs have been disarmed?"

1 hour remaining.

"Well, Mary and me have disarmed two, Mary's searching for the third one, and you just disarmed one, that makes... four then, at least when Mary has taken care of hers."
She got another step closer. She wasn't all too sure if screaming at books was healthy.
"Let's go look for the last one, I guess... Oh, and Mary's worried, I think. I mean, she send me to look for you and all. Nah, whatever. Forget about it."
She turned around and headed for the exit. Why was it that she couldn't shake the feeling off something was wrong?
