"Wall climbing of course!!." Mark exclaimed. "I let you off easy on that last round." He joked. "This time, won't be so easy.

Mark began to head out of the casino, but before he left, he went and cashed in the money.

This comment got Krissy's blood going. "Oh I'm going to beat you so bad at this!" Krissy exclaimed before following Mark to the wall climbing place. "Alright Krissy let's show this Fox what we can do!" She thought to herself as they proceeded to the wall climbing building.

Mark presented his wristband to the place, and they let them in. "I do believe you wanted to try this course" Mark pointed to the hardest course. It had various obstacles, include a vertical clime for a bit.

"Looks like my kind of wall" He said jokingly before the straps were placed and secured

"Listen to this guy, trying to act more macho then he really is." Krissy thought as she strapped in and got prepared to climb. The competition started and Krissy was off like a lightning bolt, climbing the course with  all her might and planned ahead how to deal with each obstacle before she reached it.

Mark chuckled. "Let's see how wins now?" He muttered to himself. As the race was of, he kept up with Krissy, He wasn't breaking a sweat. When he caught up to her. "Hey moving kind of quick."

He came up the horizontal climb. He gripped each rock, and managed to monkey his way to the last part of the leg, the climb. He paused for a bit, as Krissy was just a tad behind.

Krissy knew at the pace Mark was going he would soon tire, but nevertheless she kept her fast pace and found a shortcut to the vertical climb. After reaching the vertical climb she planned her next move carefully. "Okay he's catching up, the overhang is usually the easiest part to me, but I better be careful not slip on those loose footings there. Alright let's do this." She thought as she started to speed up her climbing again almost slipping on a loose rock.

"Be careful Krissy. This is a dangerous course." Mark had continued to wait for Krissy, so it would be a race to the finish.

Piece of cake He thought to himself as Krissy soon caught up with him, and he continued on his way

"The cat always lands on it's feet Mark!" Krissy said aloud as she raced to the top of the course catching up with Mark and almost overtaking him.

"Let's do this" Mark exclaimed as he kept up with Krissy. "You beat me once, but not again" He said tauntingly

Mark moved from rock to rock with precision, and was almost to the top

"Well see about that won't we?" Krissy said as she was nearing the button at the top of the climb. "Damn, he might actually beat me...... Wait a minute he might actually beat me, and maybe I will get sent to prison for stupidity!" She thought to herself as she started pushing herself to reach the top of the wall before Mark. "Can't.... let..... Mark... beat me!'' She muttered to herself as she started to speed up.

Mark was getting to the top, and was almost their. "Krissy, I may have underestimate you" He kept up to her, and he was almost to the top. This looks like that this may be a close one He said to himself

[Kid_Cortet]

John and Jade were still making their way to the Ice Cream place along with Toby. They passed a group of kids that waved, and some looked away. Jade looked to Toby and said "Old friends of yours?"

A little later a Face that John had remembered from back at Earth he saw passed them as they made their way into the Ice Cream shop. "Mark?!?!" He was shocked.

Toby would look up towards Jade, "They are the kids from the orphanage...." he would tell her, "Some are happy I found a family....some are jealous...I sense it.." he would say to her, despite thier facial expressions  .

[The Shaper]

Mark was getting to the top, and was almost their. "Krissy, I may have underestimate you" He kept up to her, and he was almost to the top. This looks like that this may be a close one He said to himself

Krissy knew Mark was about to over take her, she had only one option: take the hardest but quickest route to the top. "Remember that time back in the jungle? That was harder then this!" She reminded herself as she grabbed the uneven pieces of rock and made it to the button but missed it when she tried to press it because a piece she was holding on to slipped off. She managed to stay steady but her route to the button was closed off. "Well that's as good as it's going to get then." She thought to herself. "You win Mark, all that's left is to press the button." She said to Mark who was close to the top

[FoxMcCloud]

Toby would look up towards Jade, "They are the kids from the orphanage...." he would tell her, "Some are happy I found a family....some are jealous...I sense it.." he would say to her, despite their facial expressions  .

Jade looked down to Toby "Don't worry Toby" she would say "They will find a family someday." Jade turned to John and saw the look on his face. "John is everything ok?"

John turned back to Jade, "Weird thing is, I just saw Mark."

Jade's expression's changed a bit "Mark, your friend with the Cyber Defense Corp?"

John responded "Yeah"

She said to Mark who was close to the top

Mark saw that Krissy was making it to the top but slipped. "You had me beat" He would say. Mark made it to the top, but refused to press the button. He looked down to Krissy, "You had me beat Krissy, I'm not going to take the win this easily."

"Well if you insist, let's call it a tie then. No negotiations.'' Krissy sated. "Should we go find your friend John now?" Krissy asked when they reached the floor again.

[Kid_Cortet]

Jade looked down to Toby "Don't worry Toby" she would say "They will find a family someday." Jade turned to John and saw the look on his face. "John is everything ok?"

John turned back to Jade, "Weird thing is, I just saw Mark."

Jade's expression's changed a bit "Mark, your friend with the Cyber Defense Corp?"

John responded "Yeah"

Toby smiled at them both, "I know...I jsut hope they find one before too long.." he began to hear them talking about someone else so Toby fell silent by choice, and didn't mind. He tried to hear them speak, but something else was hiding in his head, "Think they will stay around to watch you burn everything to the ground?" Toby would begin to lower his ears hearing that, but knew if Jade caught it she might ask questions, he kept a smile written on his face.

[FoxMcCloud]

"Well if you insist, let's call it a tie then. No negotiations.'' Krissy sated. "Should we go find your friend John now?" Krissy asked when they reached the floor again.

Mark Shrugged, "Why not?" He repelled down. "I really have to admin, Krissy. you almost kick my butt there. If you didn't slip you would have won" He stated as they began to make it out of the Rock climbing place.

Toby smiled at them both, "I know...I just hope they find one before too long.." he began to hear them talking about someone else so Toby fell silent by choice, and didn't mind.

Toby would begin to lower his ears hearing that, but knew if Jade caught it she might ask questions, he kept a smile written on his face.

John decided to delay the thought of Mark and turned back to Toby. "So Toby, are you interested in some delicious ice cream" he would playfully

Jade picked up on the voice, but did not really want to make Toby feel uneasy with all the questions that she had wanted to ask. She wanted to help make Toby feel happy.

Mark Shrugged, "Why not?" He repelled down. "I really have to admin, Krissy. you almost kick my butt there. If you didn't slip you would have won" He stated as they began to make it out of the Rock climbing place.

"Hey when you hunt for treasures in exotic places your going to have to be good at climbing. That's what the job requires." Krissy stated. "Your friends shouldn't be too far away, let's get looking." She said

[FoxMcCloud]

"Hey when you hunt for treasures in exotic places your going to have to be good at climbing. That's what the job requires." Krissy stated. "Your friends shouldn't be too far away, let's get looking." She said

Mark thought about it and said sure. "Last time I saw them, they were heading into an Ice Cream shop. Let's head there." Mark began to head towards the Ice Cream shop

[The Shaper]

(Message for Kid_Cortet: Stop running! You can not escape!)

"Let's go then, I haven't had ice cream in awhile either, so that will be fun." Krissy stated as they exited the store and headed to John and Jade's location.

Toby would smile up at John, nuzzling his hand affectionately. He would nod silently. The voice however knew Jade was listening and without Toby knowing, it sent a telekinetic shot towards her mind, if anything make her have a slight headache for the next few moments, nothing dangerous but as a warning. Toby would look up at them both, pulling their hands towards him, practically hugging them.

Mark was making it on their way to the Ice cream shop. He turned to Krissy

"Been a while since I have had ice cream too." He would say. "Again, I never really get out to have different foods"

John and Jade Smiled at Toby's Playfulness. Jade had felt a little twitch on her neck. Her head hurt for a few seconds by nothing major. hmmm She thought to herself.

They made it into the ice cream shop and decided to sit and wait for a bit. John looked to the attendant and asked for a Vanilla Ice cream, and a Chocolate for Jade. John turned to Toby and asked "and what would you like little guy" He would say to Toby. John handed a list to him and explained all the flavors. "Take your pick bud"

(Hate to do this to you guys but I have to go to work so last post fer me.)

"Hey isn't that them right there?" Krissy said as she noticed John and Jade with Toby across the store. "Yeah that's them, I still haven't met their son Toby. I should introduce myself to him." She said as she saw them.

Toby would look at the sheet, trying to understand the flavors. "I know what Chocolate tastes like, but I never had it frozen....I'll try that.." he would reply. He would place the menu back onto the counter and remain silent.

Mark's phone went off, and it was an emergency.

Mark, we got some hackers trying to breach the main defense. We need you now.

Mark turned to Krissy and said "Krissy, give John, Jade and Toby my regards. Tell them that I will meet them soon. Emergency at work." Mark ran towards the locker area fixed his suit and ran towards his Black SUV in the parking lot. He flipped on his Emergency Lights and sped out of the lot. He picked up his radio and messaged "Car 73 inbound-ETA 5 mins"

(Mark will return)

Toby would look at the sheet, trying to understand the flavors. "I know what Chocolate tastes like, but I never had it frozen....I'll try that.." he would reply. He would place the menu back onto the counter and remain silent.

Jade had listened to Toby, and replied "Chocolate is a good flavor"

John had turned to the attendant and asking for another chocolate.

A few moments later, the attendant came back with the ice cream. John got his vanilla and Jade and Toby got their chocolate.

Krissy had waited awhile before she made her next move. "This is as good as time as any to go speak with them. Besides I still haven't introuduced my self to their son." Krissy thought to herself as she walked over to John, Jade, and Toby's location. "Hey you guys, Mark says hi John." She said when she got near them.
