<Ire> Session 183: Viruses
<Ire> Time Chart: July 21st, 2223
<Ire> Location: Building 38
<Ire> GM: *Several days have passed since the defeat of the Copycat. So far the city of Mega City has been quiet...*
* Ire sits at his desk, looking at reports of a massing of the 5th Column forces near Mega City. He frowns.
* Phirax is sitting on the couch watching the Holo Vid
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 still sits in the lobby drooling as he sleeps
* Dahok is working up a sweat down in the Training Gym from shadow-boxing
* Phirax glances over at Shadow. "What the hell....who is this kid?"
* Phirax is mostly talking to himself.
* Ire turns to a communication link up he has with President Slasher
<Ire> He certainly seems like they're readying themselves for an assault.
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 is standing in the training Gym. Watching Dahok shadow box.
* Dahok begins picking up speed, his movements fluid
* Slasher looks at Ire
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 wakes upp abruptly. He looks about the lobby confused
<Phirax> Mornin Kid.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "Wha?!" He still seems shocked at where he is "umm dont i know you?"
* Alicia is now known as Terra`
<Slasher> It seems that time has run out for us Ire...As of 8 AM MegaCity time, our long-range sensors reported a bustle of movement around the British Zone.
<Ire> It makes since for Senreich to try his luck with us. As far as territory goes, we both have the same amount.
<Terra`> NRP: Oh yeah, this is going to be interesting..
<Phirax> Obviously. What are you doing in out base?
* Dahok starts slowing down, his intensity also dropping
<Phirax> NRP: Our*
<Slasher> I was hoping we'd have more time than this, we only have rougly 60% of our Defense System up and running, which is sadly not going to hold them back. They're using shuttles so I can launch the virus at them long range and hope they fly into it. I have all available men and women in our military prepping as we speak.
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *crosses his arms, watching Dahok with interest* "So how long have you been a member here?"
<Ire> Using the virus, even outside the Mega City limits, could be dangerous if it it got airborne.
<Dahok> Since it first started...*his movements slow down even more*
<Slasher> They're are far worse spots to drop it then in the middle of the ocean.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "umm well a few days ago i help with that copycat thing and broke a window to get in and help Raven and Kit who called me....anyway i digress. Im here because i feel i need to work for this establishment until such time as i am either regarded as un needed or i lose my life
* Slasher a grim look appears on his face
<Ire> It's come to my conclusion this fight can go one of two ways, sir. If they beat us, it would give Senreich more ground to fight Janus with. If we win, I would suspect it would be with major losses to us and to the 5th Column, meaning Janus could come in and take over either of us.
<Phirax> NRP: Wtf did that all mean?
* Slasher nods
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *nods and ho hums curiously at Dahok*
* Garland has joined #taw
<Slasher> There is a bout a 33% chance that the Janus Corp may use this chance to strike the British Zone which would boost our chances of winning a lot. No one wants to fight a war on two fronts.
<Phirax> Well if you want to join Kid. I suggest you talk to Ire. I'm sure we could always use the help.
* Garland is now known as Junior
<Ire> Judging by these reports, they'll be in the city fairly soon. Where do you want us?
<Slasher> If I knew that a gamble would work, I'd send someone to take the Altros around and behind they're troops and flank them from the rear but I have a feeling we'll need that ship to hold them back.
* Junior steps off of the elevator onto the third floor.
<Ire> NRP: LOL. No elevator. Just stairs.
* Project-Crescent has joined #taw
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "hmmm I dont know about Ire....He doesnt seem to like me...So where can i find him?"
<Project-Crescent> (what we do!?)
<Ire> NRP: Bad man. Use NRP
<Project-Crescent> NRP: So many different RPs. LEAVE MEA LONE.
* Ire says nothing, staring at the communicator screen.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: So.. should I jump in?
<Ire> NRP: We're all in Building 38
<Phirax> Upstairs. And he doesn't like anyone. Don't feel bad. Just say "I want to help you guys." and he'll usually let you join. Depending on his mood.
<Junior> NRP: Well, I only knew what DS told me about the building.
* Ire turns to look at Junior, waving him over.
* Project-Crescent sits at his desk, playing more solitare.
<Slasher> I see Jr. has arrived. He brought you something Ire.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "umm ok...where are the stairs? and how many floors up?"
<Ire> ...What?
<Slasher> Something that should help you take down at Super Chiere quickly in case it comes down to it.
<Junior> ... Oh, right. I knew I forgot something. It's on your desk.
* Ire glances at his desk.
<Junior> Slasher's desk.
* Project-Crescent yawns.
* Slasher pops up
<Slasher> YOU DID WHAT?!
<Phirax> 3rd floor. Over there *points*
<Junior> I was just so caught up in the lovely conversation... I guess it slipped my mind to actually take it.
<Ire> NRP: <Phirax> He's on the tenth floor. 6*Shadow walks up to the third floor and realizes there is no tenth floor.
<Slasher> I only asked you to do one thing!
<Ire> ...
* Ire eyes them both
<Phirax> NRP: Hehe.
<Slasher> Ire...In the box was some specially prepared ammo...about two clips.
<Ire> Looks like I'll have to make a trip over there.
* Slasher stands up and disappears from the vid
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "Thanks" He heads up the stairs and looks for Ire once he reaches the 3rd floor
<Slasher> *some mumbling then some shouting can be heard from in the background*
* Ire turns to look at Junior, raising an eyebrow
* Dahok stops completely
* Project-Crescent stands up, and looks at Ire, obviously having no idea what's going on. "..."
* Junior crosses his arms and shakes his head once.
* Slasher slides back into the vidscreen
* Ire turns back to the vidscreen
<Slasher> It'll be there hopefully before the 5th Column shows up. *looks at Jr.*
<Ire> Understood. Where do you want us in this fight?
* Junior cocks his head, looking back to Slasher.
<Project-Crescent> Fight?
* Project-Crescent is listening in, talking to himself.
<Slasher> The majority of our Missile Launchers are on the East side of the city, we have some on West side incase of a sneak attack and the rest are scattered on the north and south.
<Ire> Of course.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 scours most of the 3rd floor in his search for Ire "where is that guy?"
<Phirax> NRP: the third floor is one big room I thinks.
<Ire> GM: *The third floor is extremely small - it's just one room with a bunch of desks. If you miss Ire, you're blind
<Slasher> I'd say they'd try to attack from the East, South, and maybe the West...
* Project-Crescent sneaks closer, listening in.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: well not knowing that i shouldnt be getting reprimanded
<Ire> NRP: I did give a layout of the building 3 times.
<Slasher> ...How is you're new members coming along?
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 leans against a wall like the wall leaner he is and waits to ba able to talk to Ire
<Ire> Some better than others. I don't want to put them in a situation like this, but we have no choice.
<Phirax> NRP: Awww no Raven this Session?
<Ire> NRP: See key last line
<Project-Crescent> NRP: I'm gonna go get a k00k13.
<Ire> I should get my people prepared, sir.
<Phirax> NRP: Ohhh I didn't read it all. :(
* Slasher nods
* Ire taps his communicator, signaling for the ALTers to meet him.
<Slasher> You know your men better than I do...Tell me where they belong and I'll adapt to it.
<Ire> We're more verstile to responding to situations. It might be best to have us free roaming.
<Slasher> Alright...But incase I see a chance to have you guys make a strike...Be ready for it.
<Ire> Of course. *he reaches over and turns off the communicator*
* Slasher disappears
* Phirax jumps up from his Seat and then makes his way for the 3rd floor.
* Ire grunts, shaking his head.
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *also heads for the building 38 and the 3rd floor.
* Dahok stands up and starts walking for the exit of the building
* Junior glances to Ire. "I have no idea what he was talking about with that package, honestly. I haven't been up there all day."
<Ire> Hm. Who knows what goes through his mind. Do you know the situation?
* Ire glances at Crescent
<Junior> I caught the tail end.
<Project-Crescent> No. I don't.
<Ire> This situation might get very dangerous for you, Junior.
<Terra`> NRP: I'll jump in sometime soon, just.. need to not feel so... bleh
<Phirax> Trouble? *he asks as he steps into the room.*
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *steps in not long after Phirax taking a place toward the back.*
* Dahok enters Building 38 and makes his way up the stairs
* Junior takes a breath. "We've been through this before. That virus will kill me if I catch it. No questions asked."
<Junior> I know the risk.
<Ire> The 5th Column has launched a major assault against the city. It'll probably begin very soon. It seems this is the 5th Column's big push into Mega City - either they succeed or they fail. They're putting everything into it.
<Project-Crescent> If they fail, will they be defeated?
<Junior> I can handle hordes of clones fine, most of them aren't smart enough to avoid using energy attacks.
<Ire> The majority of the army will be comprised of Chiere/Human Hybrids. They're very powerful and very dangerous. There's also some Super Chiere in their army. These cannot be fought very easily - in fact, I suggest avoidance of them.
<Ire> And no, this will not defeat the 5th Column. It will cripple their war machine, but their hold on the British Isles is still supreme with the Spear of Destiny in Senreich's hand.
* Junior nods. "That's our major problem."
<Project-Crescent> ...What about Janus?
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 leans against his part of whatever wall he is leaning against listening closely
<Ire> Janus will no doubt wait to see who is victor, then make war plans from there.
* Dahok enters the room
<Ire> I say within a month, Janus will attack the weakest - depending on the outcome of this battle.
<Project-Crescent> Super.. Chiere. This may be just what I need.
<Phirax> Janus will surely have the upperhand in this. Either way they have their enemies crippling each other.
<Dahok> What's up boss?
<Ire> You're late. *he says simply to Dahok*
<Dahok> Sorry.
<Ire> Mega City's army will be doing the brunt of the fighting today. We're going to be moving as free agents throughout the city - we'll take down as many of the 5th Column soldiers as we can.
<Ire> Is everyone clear?
<Project-Crescent> The last time I faced the 5th column, they were so powerful I couldn't take any of them.
<Ire> Work as a team, then
* Junior nods, sliding in a new cel to his pistol.
<Ire> If you see someone cannot handle someone or something, move in and team up on it.
<Ire> We don't fight fair.
* Phirax nods. "Yes Sir."
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *Nods at well.* "Roger.
<Ire> GM: *the sound of a shuttle landing on the roof is hearD*
<Ire> ...that must be our ride.
<Project-Crescent> Everyone, try not to die. I want that pleasure.
* Project-Crescent laughs jokingly.
* Ire stands up, grabbing his trench coat and putting it on. He gestures toward the stairs that lead to the roof.
* Dahok starts walking towards the stairs
* Project-Crescent nods and follows. He wipes his blue hair out of his eyes as he walks towards the shuttle.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 follows Ire "'scuse me Ire?"
* Ire eyes Shadow. They narrow slightly.
<Ire> You. ... Again.
* Dahok walks up the stairs and onto the roof
* Junior zips up his coat and holsters his gun, heading up the steps.
<Ire> GM: *a Mega City war shuttle is on the roof. The ramp opens and a blonde hair woman, with two long pony tails, and blue eyes steps down, wearing a Gear pilot suit.*
<Project-Crescent> Hm?
* Phirax heads for the shuttle with Raven right behind him.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 stands tall trying to appear un-intimidated by Ire "umm...yeah..me...i was umm wondering if i could umm join up...to ehhh help everyone"
<Ire> ...to help everyone.
* Ire grabs his handguns, spins them and holsters them.
* Terra` walks in, and heads for the shuttle.
<Ire> Eve: Hello boys. And girl.
<Dahok> Hey Eve. *nods*
<Ire> Fine. Come along. Another target suits me fine.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "well...uhh yeah...least those that need it...."
* Ire walks up the stairs onto the roof.
* Phirax nods to eve and enters the shuttle. Raven smiles at her and also enters.
<Project-Crescent> Ire, are we going to see Slasher? Or are we just going straight into combat.
<Project-Crescent> ?*
<Terra`> NRP: BRB, grabbing food before RPing proper
<Ire> Eve: Ire, catch. *she tosses him a box*
<Ire> Straight into combat, no doubt.
<Ire> GM: *in the pilot seat of the shuttle is someone, wearing a pilot helmet that is covering their face. The nametag reads "Wind"*
* Ire catches the box and opens them, eyeing the strange bullets.
<Ire> Eve: Slasher says to give them a cold.
* Junior grabs his seat on the shuttle, looking out the window.
<Ire> Hm. Virus bullets.
* Ire pockets the box, then steps onto the shuttle.
<Project-Crescent> Bullets? No use to me.
* Junior glances to Ire as he hears the words
<Terra`> NRP: Back
* Project-Crescent sits down in a seat.
<Ire> Eve: *hits the close ramp button, the shuttle ramp slowly closing*
<Phirax> NRP: So everyone thats not in...needs to get in the shuttle right?
<Ire> NRP: Right.
<Terra`> NRP: Would I even know who Eve is?
<Ire> NRP: The strongest person in the galaxy? .... Hm, I don't know.
* Terra` is in a seat by now
* Junior moves over by Ire.
* Ire glances at Junior
<Junior> Can I see those rounds a moment?
<Terra`> Virus bullets?
* Ire pulls the bullets out, giving three to Terra to see, and the rest to Junior
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 gets into the shuttle unsure if hes spossed to be there
<Ire> GM: *the ramp closes behind Shadow, locking him in
* Eve has joined #taw
<Ire> Wind: Alright, people - we're about to soar.
<Project-Crescent> (Parasite Eve)
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle begins to lift off the roof*
* Junior holds up the case to the light, looking into the class vials, looking at them a moment.
* _Trunks_ has joined #taw
* Eve sits down next to Crescent, leaning back.
<Slasher> *stands before a podium* Citizens of MegaCity...Today is a day that we have all feared deeply. The 5th Column Group has made the first strike against us. This fight will be one that will determine our fate as free citizens of planet Earth. I can't say what the outcome will be, I can only hope and pray that everything we have done to get ready for this moment will be for naught. One thing I can promise though...Is that we will not stand idly by and l
<Slasher> NRP: Thats on the radio also.
* Ire tilts his head to the radio on the shuttle
<Ire> ...
* Junior hands them back to Ire, looking a little unnerved. "You're a better shot than I am."
* Ire takes the 12 bullets, nodding. He puts them back in his pocket.
<Terra`> NRP: by and l
<Project-Crescent> NRP: You gonna take all of the bullets?
* kaos` has joined #taw
<Ire> NRP: I gave 3 to Terra.
<Terra`> I like this guy
<Ire> Who?
<Project-Crescent> Ire, I'd like a bullet. I could easily insert one into a shifted hand. I may need one.
* Ire takes a bullet, handing it over to Crescent
<Slasher> All those that are currently not apart of the Military, please head to the nearest Bomb Shelter and pray, hope, wish and believe in our men. Thank You. *bows his head and turns away from the camera*
<Phirax> I could use one too.
<Ire> Wind: He sucks at speeches... *he comments*
* Project-Crescent grabs it and sticks it into a pocket. "Only use these on...?"
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 "Yeah one wouldn't hurt."
<Ire> A chiere you can't beat.
* Ire hands another to Raven
<Junior> Preferably a Super... do we know if they'll work on them?
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "might i have one of them there bullets?"
* Phirax accepts one. And nods.
<Ire> It should take out a normal chiere fine. It should have the same effect on a super.
* Ire hands one to Shadow.
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *does as well.*
* Dahok looks at everyone begging for a bullet.
* Ire is now down to 8
<Eve> I'll stick to my combat.
<Terra`> Well, hopefully, we won't face many supers.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 takes it placing it in a small compartment in his right arm
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle soars high into the air. In the distance, almost out of nowhere, enemy vessels can be seen approaching from the east*
<Dahok> Here they come...
<Project-Crescent> You'd think we could just blow them to bits..
* Phirax loads his rifle.
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *pops his neck*
* Terra` checks her pistol quickly
<Dahok> Not as easy as you think. We don't have much of an air Fleet.
<Ire> GM: *at the same time, enemy vessels come from the other side. Mega City's huge battle ship, Altros, decloaks and begins to fire on enemy vessels in the distance*
<Ire> Wind: Anyone up for a closer look?
<Project-Crescent> I wish I could access a gear.
* Project-Crescent sighs.
<Terra`> I'm a fighter pilot, not a gear one.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP:brb
<Dahok> Eve, why are you piloting a Gear?
<Terra`> Maybe I can learn to pilot a gear, though?
<Project-Crescent> She pilots a gear?
<Dahok> NRP: aren't.
<Eve> You'll need me on the ground more than in a gear.
* Dahok nods
<Terra`> Are you as good as I've heard?
<Ire> Wind: *hears no volunteers for a closer look, so he keeps their shuttle far from the airborn fighting*
* Eve smiles, tilting her head back to look at Terra
<Eve> I'm good enough.
<Terra`> Good answer.
<Terra`> I just hope I am, too.
<Project-Crescent> I've always wanted a gear.
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, the enemy vessels launch a huge array of missiles into the city*
* Ire looks out the window, eyeing the fighting. So far no ground combat has begun
* Project-Crescent doesn't even care.
* Junior glances to Terra` "Don't worry about how good you are, but if you get the job done at this point."
<Dahok> ...Not good...
<Terra`> Yeah, I know
<Ire> GM: *several buildings explode, but some missiles are stopped by various friendly fire. The enemy shuttles begin to land in the city now, deploying soldierS*
<Ire> Alright, get ready people. Pilot, take us in.
<Project-Crescent> This'll be fun.
* Dahok laughs at Crescent
<Ire> Wind: Roger. *turns the shuttle around and suddenly flies in dangerously close to the ground, stopping them one foot from the streets. He begins a hectic flight through the city, avoiding various vechiles*
<Dahok> You've gotta deathwish Tin-Man.
<Project-Crescent> Call me tin-man again and I'll tear your lungs out after this battle.
* Dahok begins chanting something
* Junior clicks off the safety on his pistol, checking his person for his sabre.
<Ire> Wind: No fighting while in the shuttle. *takes a hard right, trying to g-force everyone in their seats. He begins to fly down an alley, the sides of the shuttle threatening to scrape the building walls*
* Dahok slides into a seat
<Ire> ...insane pilot...
<Junior> He's still a damn good one.
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, as the shuttle emerges from the alley, before them is an area of 30-40 5th Column soldiers, fighting various Mega City army people. A shop nearby suddenly catches on fire when someone throws a bomb into it and blows parts of it out*
<Project-Crescent> Can we unload or what!?
<Ire> Wind: *Reaches over and yanks a lever, opening the ramp in the back of the shuttle*
<Terra`> May be overconfident, but he has SKILL
<Project-Crescent> Finally.
* Dahok hops and makes his way towards the ramp
<Terra`> So, lets get going
* Ire moves towards the ramp, gripping the railing.
* Terra` heads towards the ramp too
<Ire> Lets move it.
* Dahok grabs onto the railing
<Ire> Wind: *stops the shuttle, hovering over the fighting*
* Project-Crescent stands up, and sticks his hand out, shifting it into a hilt. "Ready?" He walks towards the ramp.
* Phirax ruhes over to the ramp and jumps down into the city, he retreats back some and begins to unload rounds into the soldiers.
* Junior nods to Ire and leaps out of the shuttle.
* Dahok runs down the ramp and hits the ground, rolling
* Project-Crescent hops out of the shuttle, "Here we go."
* Terra` leaps out after Junior
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *rushes down the ramp as well and whips out his pistols firing at the nearest soldier*
* Ire leaps out, landing on top of an overturned car. He hops off onto the street. He begins to open fire on the enemy.
* Eve leaps out and flips, landing on the back of two soldiers.
* Terra` starts to open fire on the 5th column soldiers before she even lands
* Project-Crescent jumps straight at a nearby soldier, and then activates his psy sword, and thrusts his sword at his neck.
<Ire> GM: *the enemy opens fire at the team with their plasma rounds. The street has cover in the way of stores and three cars - all overturned and on fire*
* Junior lands on the asphault, the material cracking under his impact. He spins and starts taking cap-shots at the enemy.
* Dahok runs down the street and leaps up behind a shoulder cracking him right into the back of his neck
<Ire> Wind: *flies up into the air and out of sight*
<Terra`> Eat hot metal death! *ducks behind a car*
* Ire dives behind the same car as Terra, firing around behind it at the soldiers.
* Dahok grabs onto the shoulders back and spins around, using him as cover
<Ire> GM: *three enemy soldiers retreat into a clothing store*
<Ire> GM: *five more soldiers try to lob grenades near Crescent*
<Ire> GM: *six soldiers attempt to blow away the car Terra/Ire are behind*
* Project-Crescent slides into a corner, and then sticks his hand out, aiming it at the five, and then shifts it into a large spike, and fires it. He then jumps out of the way of the nades.
* Dahok pulls the pin out of a grenade on the guys back and kicks him towards a small group of guys
* Phirax continues to unload round after round into the NAzis.
* Terra` lobs a bomb at the soldiers firing at the car
<Ire> GM: *the guy falls onto the ground and blows up, taking a few of his friends out*
<Ire> GM: *some more explode when Terra's bomb lands near them*
* Dahok flips onto his hands and then onto his feet, he sprints backwards, doing his best to dodge shots.
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *continues to fire his dual pistols into the troops.*
<Ire> GM: *a Mega City soldier runs up near Crescent, providing cover*
<Ire> GM: *the troops move behind a car to avoid Raven's shots*
* Dahok pulls his hands up and the ground below a group of soldiers rumbles
* Eve leaps into the fray, grabbing a grenade on one and throws it into it another. She then kicks the first into the other and lets them both blowu p.
* Dahok kicks sideways and into a building
* Junior dives forward, firing at the soldiers harassing Ire and Terra
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *sends a ki blast for the car.*
* Project-Crescent jumps straight up into the air, and then looks around for any nearby soldiers. Upon spotting one, he boosts at hima, and thrusts his sword towards his chest.
* Terra` keeps firing on the enemy, keeping behind the car for now
<Ire> GM: *the ones bothering Ire and Terra stop, eyeing Junior. They divide up and some move over to Junior, firing at him*
<Ire> GM: *the enemy soldier is stabbed. His friend leaps at Crescent, attempting to shoot him at point blank range*
* Dahok the ground suddenly cracks and vines erupt below them and begin to wrap around them, crushing them and creating another small cover spot
<Ire> GM: *the three in the clothing store open fire at Dahok*
* Project-Crescent is shot. He immediately begins regenerating, as he brings his sword around at the friends head.
<Dahok> Shit! *leaps over a counter and drops down, getting shot in the arm*
<Ire> GM: *before two more soldiers can come up behind Crescent, some Mega City soldiers shoot them down*
<Dahok> GAH!!
* Junior takes out his beamsabre and attempts to deflect what shots he can with one hand, attempting to shoot their rifles with his other
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Is the friend dude dead?
* Dahok grabs the cash register and pops up hurling it at one of the soldiers, and quickly ducking back down
<Ire> NRP:Yep
<Ire> GM: *the ones attacking Junior lose their rifles. The two fighting Terra and Ire stop firign suddenly*
* Project-Crescent looks for more soldiers to slay.
* Junior pants, glancing over to Ire and Terra
* Ire nods to Junior, then fires at some soldiers bothering Dahok
* Terra` glances over at Junior, looking fine
<Ire> GM: *the ones fighting Dahok are hit by a crash register!*
* `Raven` has joined #taw
* Eve handsprings next to Junior, then spins and kicks one of the gunless soldiers heads, knocking him out
* Phirax releases another shot at a Soldier's head.
* Dahok quickly hops up and over the counter and dashes at the closest one, he grabs onto him and plants his foot, hurling the guy at the second closest one
<Ire> GM: *five soldiers eye Crescent, then fire lasers at him*
<Ire> GM: *two soldiers rush at Phirax, trying to bumrush him*
* Dahok leaps up and kicks against a shelf, tipping it over and sending it crashing onto the 3 soldiers
* `Raven` begins to open fire on the soldiers rushing Phirax. Since he is their smiper.
<Ire> GM: *the three soldiers are SHELVED*
* Project-Crescent duckrolls to the side, and then launches a large wave of mind crippling attacks on each of the five.
<Ire> GM: *the bumrushing soldiers fall to Raven's weapons*

* Dahok looks over at his shoulder, blood and burnt skin
<Ire> GM: *some soldiers move up behind Junior, holding guns*

* Junior spins around to take out the soldiers behind him--only to see Eve already having done it.
* Project-Crescent runs back out, trying to get cover in a nearby alley, also trying to spot more soldiers.
<Ire> GM: *two soldiers begin to climb a nearby fire escape, heading up tot he roof*

* Project-Crescent stabs their bodies a few times boredly.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: :D
<Ire> GM: *the soldiers fighting Phirax are ambushed by Terra and killed. However, three leap up near her and fire at her*
<Eve> Terra!
* Dahok slams his hands together, and thrusts it into the air, seconds later a mass of intertwined vines bursts out of the street and waves about
* Ire leans over Terra and provides cover for her.
<Ire> Look out
<Ire> GM: *four soldiers sneak up on Crescent*
* Terra` jumps away, shooting at one of the three
* Junior grits his teeth.
<Ire> GM: *a grenade lans on the car next to Terra and Ire and explodes, taking the car with it*
* Dahok thrusts his hand down and the mass of vines slams down on the three of the 4 soldiers going after Crescent
<Junior> We aren't accomplishing anything here...
* Ire is sent skidding across the street.
<Junior> Ire!
* Project-Crescent turns around, upon hearing them with a smile on his face. He leaps into the crowd, and slashes into a large circle, despite Dahok's vine.
<Ire> GM: *indeed, it looks like they still have 20 more soldiers to defeat*
<Terra`> What do you suggest? *is thrown back too*
* Eve tries to hold back ten of the 20 remaining soldiers.
* `Raven` holsters his guns and sticks both arms strait out, gathering in energy.
* Dahok pulls his hands apart and the vines seperate and wiggle around looking for soldiers to strike
* Dahok looks over at eve then thrusts his hands out and the vines shoot out at the 10 soldiers wrapping around Eve
* Junior dashes to cover Ire until he can recover, holding his sabre ready
<Dahok> NRP: all intent on impaling.
<Ire> Unknown Comm: Hey, Dahok, keep those soldiers vined up
* Project-Crescent jumps straight up and shoots a 10 mini-spikes, 1 at each soldiers head.
* Ire rolls over onto his side.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: minus the a*.
<Ire> GM: *the ten soldiers die via vines and spikes*
<Ire> GM: *the remaining ten soldiers spread out, as to avoid such a fate*
* Junior glances over his shoulder. "You alright?"
<Project-Crescent> NRP: You'd think they'd be smarted.
* `Raven` claps his hands together sending a large ki blast at the largest group of the ten.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Smarter*
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Can't.. type..
<Ire> Unknown Comm: Try your vines in a circle --- force them into one atrea.
<Ire> GM: *the group dodges*
<Dahok> *swings his hands around, carrying any impaled soldiers and flinging them at the moving remianig ones
* Phirax fires at the head of one of the soldiers.
* Dahok pulls his hands down and the vines go under ground
<Ire> GM: *the soldiers keep avoiding the attacks, returning firE*
* Ire gets to his feet
<Ire> ...fine. Bruised.
* `Raven` curses and pulls out his pistols firing on the soldiers.
* Terra` fires at the head of another soldier
<Ire> GM: *the soldiers begin to get cover behind a car*
* Dahok thrust shis hands up again and the vines appear in a circle around a group of the soldiers
* Project-Crescent shoots a spike at the car, trying to blow it up.
* Terra` throws a bomb at the car, also
* Dahok twirls his hands around and the vines begin to intertwine around the car and the soliders
<Ire> Unknown Comm: Good. Now, everyone else - it's like a shooting game now
* Phirax fires at the soldiers.
* `Raven` does as well.
<Ire> GM: *the soldiers eye the car exploding, but can't run. They run around as Phirax shoots at them*
* Terra` does likewise
* Junior spins and holsts his gun, watching them eat away at the groups.
<Ire> GM: *the remaining soldiers are gunned down*
* Dahok eyes twitch as he concentrates
* Dahok drops his hands, sweat beading on his forehead
<Ire> ...well, this area is cleared.
<Project-Crescent> Why do I have a feeling that this was nothing?
* Dahok hops out of the window and towards the others.
<Phirax> Cause this is only the beginning Crescent.
* Eve wipes some sweat off her forehead.
* Phirax checks his rifle and stands, ready to advance further.
<Ire> What's everyone's condition?
<Dahok> Every small victory adds up.
<Dahok> Tired, but I'll be fine.
* `Raven` twirls his pistols and pops his neck. "Unharmed."
<Phirax> Winded.
* Project-Crescent loads a spike onto each hand. "I got shot once."
<Terra`> Not bad. A little winded.
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle flies back in, the ramp lowered
<Project-Crescent> Luckily, I was created by nanotech.
<Ire> Wind: Need a lift to the next area?
* Dahok runs upto the shuttle and up the ramp
* Ire gets onto the ramp.
<Terra`> That'd be great. *follows Dahok*
* Project-Crescent hops onto the ramp.
* Eve gets onto the ramp.
* Phirax hops into the shuttle and takes a seat.
* `Raven` slides into the shuttle and into a seat.
<Junior> I'm alright
<Ire> Wind: By the way, your Shadow friend has been sleeping in my shuttle.
* Project-Crescent sits in the same place he did the first time.
* Dahok rests up against the shuttle wall, catching his breath
<Terra`> Well, he can just help with the next lot, then
<Dahok> Wind, how we doing over all?
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle lifts off and zooms ahead*
<Ire> Wind: Except for your group, the others are losing.
<Dahok> Not good.
<Ire> Wind: Altros is gaining good victories in the air, though.
<Junior> Ire, we need a new plan. We've secured maybe half a block. That's not enough.
<Ire> Wind: There's an area conjested with Chiere soldiers ahead. So far you haven't fought any of them. Want to? Or stick with humans?
* Project-Crescent looks at Wind. "How many Mega City Gears are deployed?"
<Ire> Agreed.
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle zooms ahead - sure enough, there's an area of 50 Chiere soldiers fighting Mega City forces*
<Dahok> Now it get's harder.;
<Project-Crescent> See any super chiere?
<Terra`> Do they even look different?
<Phirax> They are blonde I assume.
<Ire> Wind: .... Do you guys want to engage them?
<Project-Crescent> Sure.
<Junior> It'd only weaken us if we did.
<Ire> ... *grinds his teeth, eyeing the fighting below - it's obvious Mega City is losing*
* Terra` looks over at the rest of the group
<Phirax> 50 Chiere...or so...thats gonna be tough. What do you think Ire?
<Ire> Junior's right. If we fight, we'll weaken ourselves. If we do nothing, they'll lose.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: I think you should give good ol' deathmachine a death machine.
<Terra`> What, then?
<Ire> Wind: ...
<Eve> We can't just do nothing.
<Terra`> We can't just pick off the weak ones...
<Project-Crescent> Yes we can..
<Project-Crescent> But we wont.
<Phirax> Sir.
<Phirax> If you drop me off onto a roof I can snipe them.
<Terra`> Right you are, Crescent
<Phirax> Give the locals a better chance...
<Ire> And it'll leave us down one man.
<Junior> This is a lose-lose situation... *falls into thought*
<Project-Crescent> I'll go in alone.
* Dahok looks at Jr.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: D:
<Dahok> We can't just give up Jr.
<Ire> We'll engage - for now.
* Ire moves toward the ramp.
<Dahok> They're dieing to proctect this place, I'm willing to do the smae.
<Junior> I'm not suggesting that.
* Dahok walks towards the ramp
* `Raven` stands, his pistols on the ready.
* Phirax loads his rifle and waits.
* Project-Crescent stands up, ready for battle. "I could care less about this city."
<Ire> .... *frowns in thought, probably considering that if this is happening everywhere, there's no way to win except the virus*
* Ire leaps off and onto the ground. This area is a park area, meaning there's trees and benches to hide behind, plus one pond.
* Junior glances to Ire.
* Terra` moves to the ramp, ready to follow Ire down
* Eve leaps out.
* Junior follows and leaps down
* Terra` follows
* `Raven` hops down and then jumps into a tree. Ready to Snipe.
<`Raven`> NRP: POO!
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle waits until everyone is off, then flies off
* Project-Crescent jumps out.
* Phirax does what Raven just did. Not raven doing it.
<Project-Crescent> HERE WE GO!
* `Raven` walks forward, his pistol on the ready.
* Dahok hops off and looks
<Ire> GM: *the 50 Chiere soldiers eye the newcomers*
<Ire> Electricity is the key here, folks.
<Ire> That and shoot them to death.
* Dahok punches his gauntlets together
<Terra`> The second, I can do
* Junior glances to Ire, drawwing his pistol.
<Ire> GM: *the Chiere begin things by opening fire with plasma shots*
* Ire switches his element to electricity.
* Terra` fires back on the Chiere
* Ire moves behind a tree.
* Dahok sprints towards an alley
* Project-Crescent jumps to the side, and then releases a huge wave of paralyzing mind attacks on anything within 100 feet of crescent.
<Ire> GM: *some ducks swim in the pond*
<Slasher> Comm: Garland do you read me...Where is your current location?
* Eve rushes forward and begins to grabs some Chiere, smashing them down. She moves faster than many can react, taking them down. However, she's burning huge amounts of energy, despite the amazing job she's doing.
* Ire watches Eve, shaking his head.
<Slasher> NRP: meant Jr.
<Ire> She's going to waste all her power.
* Junior leaps back, firing upwards to a power-line, spinning to the side slightly to pop off a shot at the accompanying transformer.
<Terra`> .. yeah.. looks it
<Ire> GM: *some Chiere are hit by the power-lines, becoming fried. They scream in agony*
* Phirax fire at the chiere.
* Junior taps his Comm. "I'm in the center of the city, why?"
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Did I not hit anyone?
<Project-Crescent> NRP: :/
<Ire> NRP: You didn't!
* `Raven` loads in Electric bullets and fire at the chiere.
* Ire fires electric shots at the chiere, taking them down in one hits - as is Raven.
<Slasher> Comm: I'm going to try something...I need you to stay away from the West Side of the city.
* Terra` needs to get some of these electric bullets
<Ire> GM: *three Chiere rush at Crescent, leaping up and spin kickign down at hmi*
<Junior> Comm: ... What are you going to do?
<Ire> GM: *five Chiere rush at Phirax, all leaping at him and firing Ki blasts*
<Ire> GM: *six Chiere rush at Junior, throwing a series of punches and kicks*
* Project-Crescent jumps to the side and launches 3 spikes, one at each Chiere's head or neck.
<Ire> GM: *five Chiere fire Ki blasts at Terra*
* Dahok runs out of the alley and punches the cap off a fire hydrant
<Ire> GM: *The Chiere dodge Crescent's attacks, firing Ki blasts at him*
<Dahok> AIM FOR THE FIRE HYDRANTS!
<Ire> GM: *water begins to spray everywhere*
* `Raven` jumps back from the tree and evades. ALl the while firing at the chiere.
* Terra` jumps away from the blasts, looking for cover
<Junior> Gh...
<`Raven`> NRP: thats twice~!!!
* Junior leaps back and away from the water, knowing just how conductive teh stuff can be.
<Ire> GM: *The Chiere also try to avoid the water*
* Project-Crescent runs out of the way, before he can be hit, he boosts up into the air and hides ontop of a roof.
* `Raven` attacks the chiere that are attacking the retreating Phirax.
<Ire> GM: *one Chiere grabs Raven, throwing himself and Raven right into a water puddle*
* Terra` heads behind the nearest cover quickly, shooting any hydrants she sees on the way
<Slasher> Comm: Becareful I'm launching a viral missile.
* Eve bashes two more Chiere into the ground.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Can I hear slasher?
* Ire fires from aruond the tree.
* Dahok flicks his fingers up and vines begin to tear off fire hyrdrant caps
<Ire> ...dammit...too much water..if I fire, I'm going to electrocute everyone.
<Dahok> Ire, get everyone up away from the water!
* Phirax dissapears and appears above the chiere. Firing a normal set of bullets into the chiere.
* Junior hides behind his down tree.
<Junior> *own
* Dahok leaps up and grabs onto a fire escape and climbs up it
<Phirax> NRP: Dude thats 3 times...poop.
<Ire> Raven! Move from the water! If we fire, you'll be fried!
<Ire> GM: *the Chiere fighting Raven tries to drown him in the water*
<Phirax> NRP: That was raven not. phirax. :(
* Terra` moves away from the water, firing on the Chiere on the way
<Phirax> NRP: That did the whole disappearing thingy....
<Ire> GM: *the Chiere vanishes, appearing above Raven, and slams him back into the water*
* `Raven` curses out loud and punches at the CHiere's jaw.
* Dahok whips his hands out and several vines slam into the Chiere going after Raven
<`Raven`> Leave me alone slave!
<Ire> GM: *three more drenched Chiere tackle Raven*
<Ire> ...
* Project-Crescent peeps out and fires a spike at ones head.
<`Raven`> Fuck! Off! *jumps up into the air.*
<Ire> GM: *two drenched Chiere hang onto Raven, since one got stabbed*
* Junior turns out from around the tree and fires at the Chiere's joints
* Phirax tries to help Raven by firing at the other chiere.
<Ire> GM: *They fall off of him finally*
* `Raven` flies away from the water and near the safety of the rest of the group.
* `Raven` is very agitated.
<Dahok> IRE DO IT IF IT'S CLEAR!
* Ire fires into the middle of the water with an electric shot.
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, the Chiere all jerk and begin to spaz as electricity shoots through them. They fall over in smoking heaps*
<Terra`> ... nice...
* Dahok drops to the ground
* Project-Crescent boosts back to the ground.
<Ire> Unknown Comm: Not bad. But you got more trouble heading your way.
<Project-Crescent> Smoked meat.
* `Raven` sighs. "Thank you for saving me everyone..."
<Project-Crescent> As long as we're comrades in battle, I suppose we look out for each other.
<Project-Crescent> What now?
<Ire> GM: *in the distance, 100-150 Chiere Soldiers can be seen marching their way*
<Terra`> Damn, I really need to pick up some electric bullets...
<Ire> ...
<Phirax> ....Ire. We have trouble...
<Ire> ...
<Project-Crescent> Do we fight?
<Dahok> What if we try to trap them and do it again?
* Junior looks to the century of Chiere.
* Phirax raises his rifle. "We wont stand a chance against this...we need some good strategy to take out this lot..."
<Dahok> Draw them to this same area then have Ire shoot them agan.
<Project-Crescent> Wait.
<Junior> We'd be hard-pressed to be that fortunate, Dahok. They'll avoid the water.
* Project-Crescent looks to see if they're around any buildings.
<Ire> GM: *they are marching between buildings - they're using the street*
<Project-Crescent> Hmm..
<Terra`> Fire extinguishers?
<`Raven`> Any suggestions? Cause i'm out of ideas...
<Ire> Unknown Comm: I got one.
<Phirax> Please. Do tell.
* Project-Crescent launches up into the air, and to the side. He boosts over to a building on the street, trying to stay undetected.
<Ire> Unknown Comm: But it's only going to work once.
* Junior looks up the street to see how many fire hydrants there are down the roat.
<Junior> *road
<Project-Crescent> Comm: I guess I should head back.
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle begins to fly in again*
* Project-Crescent boosts back to the ground.
<Ire> ...hang on everyone. ... I don't like this.
<Terra`> ... what?
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle zooms down the street before them, firing lasers at the hydrants, causing a massive explosion of water to spray up everyone - of course, with that much water going, in a few moments, it'll be totally out. The shuttle zooms down the street, opening them all up with expert shots*
<Ire> (everywherE)
<Junior> ... Damn, he is a good pilot.
<Terra`> ... wow...
<Dahok> Ire, when he gives you the word....
* Ire aims his gun, but finds his gun is out of electric shots
<Ire> ...it can't be me...
<`Raven`> I have some shots left!
<Dahok> Anyone else have any electric shots?
<`Raven`> Just tell me where to shoot.
* Junior lookt at `Raven` a moment and points to the water.
* `Raven` loads up some electric shots. But he only has a few.
<Ire> Unknown Comm: NOW!
<Ire> gM: *the shuttle veers up in the air8
* `Raven` then fires at the water at that command.
<Ire> GM: *The entire area becomes electrocuted. Windows shatter, bodies explode. And a cry of agony sounds up that's defeaning*
* Terra` takes a deep breath
* Junior shields his eyes, not wanting to look.
<Project-Crescent> Mmm..
* Phirax stares, heartless to this point.
* Project-Crescent laughs loudly.
<`Raven`> ....
* Dahok waits till it's over
<Project-Crescent> Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
<`Raven`> Shut up you ignorant robot.
<Project-Crescent> Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
<Ire> GM: *a few moments later, the water dies down and charred bodies lay in the streets*
<Terra`> ... Crescent? That's TOO much.
* Junior glares at Project-Crescent
* Project-Crescent can't help himself. He launches a spike at the pile of bodies.
<Ire> ...
* Eve eyes Crescent with disgust.
<Terra`> ...
<Junior> I guess that answers whether or not you have a heart underneith all that tin-foil.
* Grydinael has joined #taw
* Junior turns away from him.
* Project-Crescent smirks.
<Project-Crescent> Hahaha.
<Ire> Unknown Comm: Hm. The shuttle took some damage it seems. You guys are on foot now.
* Junior spins and clocks Project-Crescent across the jaw.
* Terra` smirks at the punch
<Terra`> Crescent, you deserved that
* Project-Crescent edges his face back as he's hit, completely unphased. He continues laughing.
* Project-Crescent finally stops. "It's instinctive."
<Terra`> ... laughing when you kill people?
<Ire> Unknown Comm: North of your position the enemy is winning. You might want to head there.
<Terra`> You sure you're not part maverick, or somethin'?
* Junior turns away and heads on, his fist tight.
<Phirax> God you stupid thing...Leave him. There are more matters to attend to...We can't let this place fall.
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle can be seen, smoke trailing from it.
* Ire moves northward.
<Project-Crescent> We've got more to worry about, anyway, rather then your personal feelings on war.
* Project-Crescent follows Ire.
* Eve strides past Crescent, giving him a chilling glare.
* Dahok follows after Ire
* Terra` follows Ire, keeping her distance from Psycho-Kill-Bot-2000
<Ire> Unknown Comm: Oh God...you guys ... don't head north.
* Dahok looks at Ire
* Phirax treks after the rest but stops after this comment.
<Dahok> Super Chiere...
<Ire> Unknown Comm: A legion of them
* `Raven` slides to a halt. "Whats going....oh no..."
<Dahok> How many is a legion?
* Project-Crescent chuckles.
<Terra`> ... oh shit...
<Ire> Unknown Comm: Counting...50
<Dahok> WHAT?!
<Ire> ....
<Junior> The options are limited...
<Terra`> How about we send Crescent to distract them while someone blasts the whole bunch with missiles?
* Terra` smirks at that
<Phirax> Works for me. *backing up Terra's comment.*
<`Raven`> This is no time for jokes guys...we have to stop those Super Chiere!
<Ire> The north area ... that's where all the schools are located...and also the shelters.
<Terra`> NRP: Nuke 'em from orbit. Only way to be sure
* Project-Crescent doesn't even hear them. He doesn't feel he needs to acknowledge them.
* Junior glances to Terra` and then to Phirax. "Have a little respect for life, would you both?"
<Ire> GM: *the Altros can be seen turning in the sky, heading in the north direction*
<Dahok> They wouldn't dare...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *is on the streets looking for the others, trying not to get killed*
<Project-Crescent> Nothing wrong with a little joking.
<Terra`> Junior.. we need to stop them somehow...
<Project-Crescent> I can't say I never laugh.
<Ire> ...
<Terra`> ...
* Junior looks northward.
<Junior> Ire, ask Slasher what he was doing on the west-side of town.
* Ire grabs his comm
<Ire> Comm: President, what happened in the west area?
<Slasher> Comm: I had a Virus a small amount of the virus released, it was effective and we regained foothold there.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *talks through his comm* "Raven? Ire? anybody there, where are you guys?"
<Project-Crescent> Comm: Kit. I hear you.
* Junior looks back to Ire.
<Ire> ...meaning the west area of the city is infected.
* Junior licks his finger to check the direction of the wind.
<Slasher> Comm: I'm currently moving all available troops to the northside...I'm afraid I might have to use another Viral Missile.
<Ire> GM: *it's blowing westward*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Where are you guys?"
<Junior> At least it's not an east wind.
* Project-Crescent looks at Junior, laughing on the inside. "What now?"
<Project-Crescent> Comm: Not sure.
<Project-Crescent> Where are we? Kit wants to know.
<Ire> Middle of the city.
<Slasher> Comm: You'll probably checking the wind right now Jr. It's west and the virus has settled right now.
<Ire> GM: *nearby, a Gear flies overhead -- it's shot out of the sky and crash lands far away*
* Project-Crescent boosts after the gear.
<Ire> Crescent, get back here.
<Project-Crescent> I'll be back in a second!
<Ire> I said get back here!
<Dahok> We could barely stop a single Super Chiere...We can't stop 50 of them.
* Project-Crescent stops. His eyes narrow.
* Project-Crescent turns around. "If he's dead.. Forget it, what if this is our last hope?"
<Ire> The Gear crashed up north. You'd never survive getting it.
<Junior> It figures it's not beyond Slasher to install security cameras all over the city.
* X1-Work is now known as X1
<Junior> The only way to turn this battle around is to use the missles, it seems.
<Project-Crescent> IRE!
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, someone shoots at Kit from behind*
<Slasher> Comm: You need to find a way to distract those Super Chiere and pull them away from the North Bomb Shelters.
<Ire> ....You heard him. Lets head north and ... distract them ...
<Project-Crescent> Ire, can you have a missile shot to clear the path for me to get to that downed gear?
<Ire> Negative.
* Ire waves everyone on, heading northward.
* Terra` follows Ire, worriedly
* Project-Crescent follows them. "..."
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *is almost hit, the shot hitting infront of him* "Ahh what was that!!??" *he pulls out his rifle and turns to see who it was*
<Slasher> Comm: If things look grim, retreat and I'll fire another missile.
<Ire> Charon: *stands there, with 15 guards behind him. His one eyes stares at Kit* It's been awhile.
* Phirax picks up his rifle and then advances forward, obviously not ready for this, he sighs and continues.
* Dahok starts heading north
* `Raven` continues along with the others.
<Ire> GM: *as they move northward, they suddenly begin to come to the viper's nest --- a crashed gear is in the ground, with 50 Chiere standing around it, systematically destroying everything around them*
* Project-Crescent watches closely for any sign of the gear.
* Junior moves onward, glancing around.
<Project-Crescent> There it is!
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Charon the Cycloptic?!?!"
<Ire> <Charon> I enjoy your humor. I'll also enjoy choking it from your throat.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: It's SHARON!
<Project-Crescent> NRP: :P
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *holds his rilfe in one hand and pulls his pistol out with the other, both pointed at Charon*
<Dahok> ...50 Chiere...
<Ire> <Charon> *stands there as his 15 guards aim at Kit*
<Ire> ...Super Chiere.
<Dahok> ...
* Project-Crescent boosts to the side, trying to find a way behind the chiere, for when they are distracted.
<Terra`> ... we can't take them...
<Dahok> We fan't...
<Project-Crescent> Try to distract them.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Um...you wanna talk this out?"
<Dahok> I'm going to try something Ire.
<Ire> <Charon> ... "Talk"? I much rather kill you.
* Junior glances at Dahok
<Ire> ....what?
<Dahok> A noise distraction...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Well this is kinda unfair if you catch my drift..."
<Ire> <Charon> ...oh, I suppose it is ... oh well. I'm a bad guy.
<Ire> ....
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, a shuttle flies in with it's ramp lowered, right above Kit* <Voice> Leap on!
<Dahok> Can I?
<Ire> Go ahead.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *jumps on*
* Dahok raises his hands and begins concentrating.
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle flips around and zooms off, as Charon angrily fires at it*
<Ire> <Wind> *sits there, wearing a pilot's helmet. He gives Kit a thumbs up*
<Dahok> *a building about 30 ft east of the Super Chiere suddenly begins crumbling
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Holy crap you have no idea how much I love you right now!!"
<Ire> <Wind> Fun fun'
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle zooms in behind the rest of the Alt Team*
<Ire> <Wind> There's your friends.
* Dahok drops his hand and waits to see what happens
<Ire> GM: *the Super Chiere ignore it*
<Project-Crescent> Hey Wind! Wind! Can you hear me?
* Project-Crescent looks up at the ship.
<Ire> <Wind> Yeah?
<Dahok> ...Damn.
* Phirax pulls up his rifle and aims at a Chiere.
<Project-Crescent> Do you think you could take me in over that gear and drop me off?
<Phirax> Waiting to Fire. Sir.
<Ire> <Wind> Shouldn't be hard.
<Project-Crescent> Alright.
<Project-Crescent> Can you lower the ramp?
<Ire> Wait. Lets see what Crescent is doing.
<Ire> GM: *the ramp lwoers*
<Phirax> Roger.
* Project-Crescent hops onto it.
<Project-Crescent> Alright. All ready.
<Ire> <Wind> Kit, you might want to hop off and join the others. Crescent and I are about to be stupid.
* `Raven` stands some behind Phirax, waiting to fire one something.
<Phirax> NRP: Haha way to be blunt.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Right." *gets off the ship*
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle lifts off and zooms forward the Super Chiere, who automatically begin to fire wave after wave of attacks at it*
<Project-Crescent> Wind! I need you to take me right oevr the cockpit!
<Ire> <Wind> Now remember, no psychotic killing of innocents.
<Project-Crescent> I understand.
<Phirax> Should We provide cover fire?
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle zooms in and out of the attacks, then pulls up high in the air, getting distance, then flips over and zooms back down at the gear. It zooms with in 2 feet of the cockpit.
<Ire> ....
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *runs up to the others* "I just had a run in with ol' Cyclops."
* Junior glances to Ire and back to the scene
* Project-Crescent hops straight out, and tries to enter the cockpit.
<Ire> ...
<`Raven`> Where was he?
<Ire> GM: *Crescent makes it*
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle twirls away from the Super Chiere, then zooms down an alley and out of sight*
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Am I inside the gear now?
<Ire> NRP: Yep
* Ire begins to load the virus bullets.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Not sure but he had his guards with him."
* Project-Crescent sits in the control seat, and puts his hands on the controls. His hands fuse with the gear, and his body synchronizes with it.
* Dahok lokos to Ire then to Jr.
<Dahok> Becareful Jr.
* Terra` loads her virus bullets too
* `Raven` has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Ire aims at a Super Chiere and fires at it's head. The Chiere twitches, cries out in agony, and falls over.
<Phirax> NRP: Well shit this sucks. I gtg.
* Project-Crescent , with his synchronization should be able to move it on thought command. He tries to make it stand.
<Ire> GM: *The Gear stands. The Super Chiere turn around and eye it*
<Project-Crescent> Activate combat mode.
* Junior grits his teeth, making certain to say behind the virus weilders to avoid the shot radius if they miss.
<kaos`> NRP: Who exactly is with me?
* Ire turns and fires at another Super Chiere
<Ire> NRP: Everyone
<Ire> We're only delaying the inevitable.
* Project-Crescent tries to step on a group of the Super Chiere.

<Ire> GM: *the Super Chiere grab the bottom of the gear, then throw it up into the sky*
* Project-Crescent tries to turn on the boosters.
* Dahok thrusts his hands up and tries to jam several vines into a single Chiere

<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *takes his rifle and fires some pop shots at anything evil he sees*
* Terra` takes aim, and fires at one of the Super Chiere
* Ire fires at the Super Chiere. The attacks seem to do little damage, outside of virus bullets.
<Eve> ....
* Project-Crescent feels his eyes redden, as his body shakes. He tries his hardest to increase the output of the gear over 100%.
* Eve engages a Super Chiere in combat.
<Ire> GM: *three Super Chiere bust past Terra and ram Ire into a wall, causing his gun to drop*
<Dahok> .....*watches the vine bounce off it and immediately torn apart*
* Eve uppercuts the SC, then rams it into the wall of a building. So far, it seems she's winning.
* Dahok spins and dashes into the nearest Super Chiere
<Ire> GM: *The Gear, being damaged, is sluggish*
* Project-Crescent sends a thought command for the gear to boost at a few of the chieres and throw a punch ontop of them.
<Ire> GM: *the Super Chiere are punched by the Gear. They stand back up moments later*
* Ire slides down from the wall, coughing up blood.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *gets a Super Chiere's kneecap in his sight and fires away*
<Dahok> IRE!
* Project-Crescent boosts backwards, towards the group. He looks for any other weapons. Such as a vulcan or something.
<Ire> GM: *the Super Chiere eyes Kit, the shots doing little damage. He begins to charge up a super attack*
<Junior> Ire!
<Terra`> Ire!
* Junior dashes over, checking him
* Ire looks at Junior, breathing deeply
<Ire> Cracked...ribs..
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Oh fiddlesticks.." *continues firing, this time at its eyes, hoping to blind it*
<Ire> GM: *the Gear has a machine gun, missiles, and and a plasma cannon*
<Ire> GM: *they also have electric burst attacks*
* Project-Crescent looks down at Ire. "Damnit." He looks back to the controls, and then orders it to fire a barrage of missions onto the group of chiere.
<Junior> You're done, Ire.
<Ire> GM: *the Super Chiere begin to gang up Eve, sensing her to be the strongest. She goes down in a wave of attacks.
* Junior closes his eyes a moment.
* Dahok turns to Eve
<Dahok> EVE!!!
<Junior> Give me your gun.
<Ire> GM: *the missiles explode on the Chiere. One of them dies, the others are just hurt*
* Ire grabs it from the ground, the hands it to junior
<Ire> five shots..left..
* Junior nods.
* Project-Crescent tries the electric burst attack on a chiere.
<Ire> GM: *the burst attack tears through the Chiere, killing 2, dazing 7*
* Terra` watches silently
<Project-Crescent> Damn..
<Junior> Round them up!
<Dahok> THATS IT! *grunts and pounds his fists together*
* Project-Crescent lands back on the ground, still eyeing the battle, and the ammo left.
* Eve is punched and kicked, being ganged up.
<Junior> Dahok, use your vines, get them tied down!
<Ire> GM: *Crescent ahs 10 missiles and 4 burst attacks left*
* Project-Crescent looks at Eve, and then fires the burst attack at the group assailing her.
<Eve> GM: *the 10 Super Chiere on her scream in agony - 8 die, 2 are dazed*
* Eve screams, her eyes turning red. She grabs one of the two dazed ones and breaks it's neck
* Project-Crescent looks to a few more chieres, he fires a single missile at it, then he starts shooting his machine gun.
<Terra`> Still got a few shots left.. *aims carefully*
* Junior hucks the clip of virus over the battle field, drawing his gin and firing a ballistic bullet at it to shatter it.
<Ire> GM: *the SC are hit by the missile, then shot. They aren't being killed, but they are being held up from attacking anyone*
* Project-Crescent fires three more missiles, and continues shooting with his machine guns. "Ayyyaah!!"
<Ire> GM: *the virus clips are shot in mid-air*
<Ire> ...Junior..!
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *continues firing at any remaining SC's eyes to blind them, or at least try*
* Junior covers his mouth and nose with his jacket, praying and hoping he's out of the way.
<Ire> GM: *The Super Chiere begin to sway, looking sick.*
* _Trunks_ has quit IRC (Quit: after while.. crocodile)
* Project-Crescent shoots an electric burst at the sick SC.
* Eve screams a banshee cry, attacking the sick SC without remourse.
* Dahok looks over and thrusts his hands up a thousands of vines burst out of the ground around the group of Chiere and dome over the blast area*
<Ire> GM: *the sick SC being hit by the electric burst fall over, dead*
<Dahok> *the vines quickly begin to intertwine, trying to hold the virus inside it's Vine dome of doom!
* Project-Crescent smiles. "Not a bad gear."
<Ire> GM: *the wind blows, carrying the virus around. More Super Chiere begin to collapse. Soon, every single SC are in agony on the ground
<Project-Crescent> It's a bit battle worn.
* Project-Crescent shoots his machine gun at the downed SC.
* Dahok drops to the ground, mentally exhausted from summoning so many vines
<Ire> GM: *the downed SC, weakened by the virus, die from the gun until all of them are gone. The fight is over*
* Project-Crescent tries to call in wind with the comm in the gear.
<Terra`> ... this sort of thing takes a lot out of you..
<Project-Crescent> Wind!
<Ire> <Wind on Comm> Yeah?
<Project-Crescent> We won. Do you think you have room for a gear in your ship?
* Junior sits curled up against the wall, his eyes clenched and knees pulled to his chest
<Ire> <Wind on Comm> This shuttle isn't big enough for a Gear.
<Project-Crescent> I'll have to continue piloting it.
<Terra`> <Comm to Wind> We have wounded...
<Ire> GM: *a wave of nasuea would pass over Junior*
<Ire> <Wind on Comm> Coming in Terra. Hold on.
* Dahok looks over at Jr.
<Ire> GM: *The shuttle lands on the ground*
<Terra`> Hey, Junior? You okay over there?
* Dahok pushes himself up slowly.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Sorry I couldn't be much help guys."
* Junior gets to his hands and knees and throws up
* Project-Crescent turns the gear and looks at the shuttle. "Wind, any news of the battle elsewhere?"
<Terra`> ... shit...
<Dahok> ...No...
* Eve runs up the ramp, grabbing an oxygen mask. She runs over to him, kneeling down beside him, then waits for him to throw up, placing the mask up to his face.
<Ire> <Wind> North, middle, and west all got victories. The 5th Column forces caused major damage elsewhere. They pulled out, though.
<Project-Crescent> Is it over?
<Terra`> We won... *smiles*
<Ire> <Wind> It's over for now.
<Eve> Breathe, Junior..
* Junior takes a breath, coughing into the mask.
* Project-Crescent breathes a sigh of relief. "I think I actually experienced the human fear for a second."
* Eve throws his arm over her shoulders, helping Junior to the shuttle.
* Dahok pushes himself up
<Dahok> Better tell Slasher what happened.
* Ire forces himself up, wincing in pain. He follows after Junior,
* Terra` moves to help Ire in
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *puts his rifle over his shoulder and follows the othes*
* Project-Crescent follows them all in the gear.
* Ire looks at Terra, then accepts her help
* Dahok begins heading towards the shuttle
<Ire> ...Thanks.
<Project-Crescent> Wind, I'll stick close to you. Try not to lose me.
<Terra`> No problem.. the way I see it, we owe you.
<Ire> ...How so?
* Eve lays Junior down on a seat, then reaches up and activates the shuttle's air system
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *to Terra* "Um...how is that remote I gave you doing?"
<Terra`> You've done so much for the cause.. we'd never have got here without you
* Phirax helps Raven up, who also has a mask on and is also very sick.
* Dahok steps onto the shuttle and moves over to Eve
* Eve reaches up and undoes her pony tails, shaking her blonde hair. She moves over and gets a medical kit, coming back to Junior. She gives him a shot of antibotics.
<Dahok> Is there anything I can help with?
<Terra`> NRP: Ah, remote? *forgets*
<kaos`> NRP: Lol.
<Eve> Just tell Wind to get us back to the police station.
<Terra`> Great, thanks
* Project-Crescent activates the boosters and lifts up into the air, waiting to launch along with them.
* Ire looks at Terra, silent, thinking about that.
<Dahok> Wind...We need to goto the Police stationh quickly.
<Ire> <Wind> ... how's Junior? *he asks, worry evident even in the helmet's static voice comm*
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle lifts off, the ramp closing. The shuttle begins to head back to the police lot, allowing Crescent time to keep up8
* Phirax helps Raven into the shuttle, where he would give him some antibiotics.
* Project-Crescent sluggishly follows, the gear obviously took a helluvalot of damage.
<Ire> GM: *Crescent would notice something odd on top of the shuttle... A Super chiere..??*
<Project-Crescent> !?!?
<Phirax> Raven is pretty sick...he must has Chiere in him...
<Project-Crescent> Wind! You've got a super chiere ontop of your shuttle!
<Ire> <Wind> ... son of a bitch.
<Ire> GM: *the Super Chiere punches through the roof and lands in the middle of the shuttle*
* Eve whirls around
<Ire> ...
* Terra` aims at the Super Chiere
* Phirax spins around raising his rifle, he fires at it.
<Project-Crescent> Damnit! I can't hit him without having to hit your ship. Sorry, Wind!
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *is to sick to fight*
<Ire> GM: *the SC takes the shots. It laughs*
<Project-Crescent> It's in your shuttle!!
<Ire> <Wind> I know. Hang on. *jerks the shuttle hard to the right, sending the SC slamming into the wall*
<Dahok> He's mine...*howls loudly*
* Phirax 's eyes begin to scan the chiere, if only he could find a weakness.
<Project-Crescent> Damn, you're a hell of a pilot.
<Terra`> ... dammit, I can't use a virus bullet in this kind of space...
<Ire> Terra...you got any virus bullets?1
* Dahok muscles beging to tense then buldge out
<Ire> Make him swallow it!
<Phirax> Wait I have one!
<Terra`> .. right!
<Ire> Super Chiere: *begins to power up a Ki blast*
* Phirax pulls out the bullet and looks at the Chiere.
* Dahok reaches out and grabs onto the Super Chiere
<Project-Crescent> Wind, you okay in there?
<Ire> Super ChierE: *begins to struggle, about to break free of Dahok*
* Terra` rushes the Chiere, trying to hold it down
<Terra`> .oO(This is suicidal, but...)
<Ire> <Wind> All fine in here.
* Phirax dives at the Chiere while Dahok grabs it, trying to shove the bullet down his throat.
<Dahok> SWALLOW YOUR MEDICINE!
<Ire> <Super Chiere: *opens fire at Dahok, blasting him at point blank range if possible. The bullets goes down his throat*
<Terra`> Dahok!
* Junior knocks Dahok out of the way, taking the blast
<Phirax> Open the door!
<Project-Crescent> Wind, status?
<Ire> <SC> *rears back, choking. The ramp suddenly lowers, due to Wind, and he falls out of it*
<Ire> <Wind> Dropping dead weight.
* Project-Crescent shoots the dropping SC with his machine gun.
<Terra`> ... *breathes deeply*
* Dahok is too heavy for Jr. to move and takes the blast full on, sending him flying back against the shuttle wall
<Ire> GM: *the SC's body is shto to death*
<Project-Crescent> Wind, it's gone for good now.
<Ire> <Wind> Understood.
<Ire> GM: *The shuttle pulls in and lands on Building 38's roof8
* Phirax slides over to Dahok, "Hey man you ok?"
* Project-Crescent wonders where he should land.
<Ire> <Wind> Land next to the building.
* Dahok chest smolders, his body back to it's normal shape and density
<Ire> ...Fyro.
* Terra` gets out of the shuttle, looking and feeling winded
* Ire moves over to him, slowly.
* Project-Crescent lands next to the building, bringing the gear to its knees, with its hand held out for Crescent to hop onto.
* Project-Crescent opens the cockpit, and runs out, then boosts over to the base.
<Phirax> ....*he begins doing scans of his body.*
* Dahok lies there against the wall, his chest not moving, making it hard to tell if he's breathing
<Phirax> NRP: TO see if hes alive or not...
* Terra` turns to look back in
* Eve gets out of the shuttle, motioning for Junior
<Terra`> ... Dahok?
* Project-Crescent looks up at the shuttle. "Everyone okay?"
* Dahok pulse is weak
<Junior> NRP: I guess Dahok really wants Junior to die. :p
<Eve> We need to run tests on your blood, Junior.
* Junior shakes a little, nodding quickly.
<Ire> <Wind> Not everyone.
<Ire> GM: *the pilot stands up, crossing his arms*
<Phirax> He is alive....but he needs a doctor...
* Project-Crescent walks up onto the ramp. "I see. Hang in there."
<Phirax> 4<3Raven4>2 *struggles to his feet and then attempts to get out of the shuttle.*
<Project-Crescent> NRP: When'd I get so.. so.. nice?
* Eve helps Junior down to the third floor conference room
<Junior> NRP: When Junior clocked you. He has punches of love!
* Project-Crescent looks at Wind and nods. "See you soon, I hope."
<Ire> <Wind> Oh, you will...*he says mysteriously*
<Project-Crescent> You should be an actor.
<Ire> GM: *Wind laughs, then sits back down in his shuttle. As soon as everyone is off, he lifts the shuttle off the roof, and flies away*
<Terra`> Lets hope everyone recovers soon...
<Phirax> Ire, we should take Dahok to the hospital.
<Project-Crescent> If you want, I'll take him.
* Eve draws some blood from Junior, then quickly heads back to Slasher's for some blood tests.
<Ire> Alright. Let Crescent do it.
<Project-Crescent> Follow me. Ever ridden a gear before?
<Phirax> I have...but your taking him not me...Do be careful.
<Project-Crescent> Do you want me to carry him?
<Phirax> And Ire...what should we do about him? *Points to the collapsed Raven.*
<Phirax> You can handle it Crescent.
<Ire> Probably should get him over to Slasher for tests.
<Phirax> Alright I'll do that.
* Project-Crescent nods and takes Dahok over his shoulder. "Good job to all of you today. I actually have some respect for the lot of you." He walks over to his gear, and then boosts into the air with Dahok, and lands in its open hands.
* Ire finally sits down, holding his side.
<Ire> ...ung..
* Phirax walks over to the Raven and flips him up. "You sure your ok?"
<Phirax> NRP: Picks not flips lol.
<Ire> Fine.
* Project-Crescent opens the cockpit, and sits Dahok next to him in the cramped cockpit. He doesn't fuse with the gears, he uses the controls. He makes it lift up into the air, and then boosts off towards the hospital.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: It's raven! The human pancake!
<Terra`> Ire.. you should get to a hospital too..
* Ire nods
<Ire> I will. Just need to confer with Slasher on a few things.
<Phirax> OK...I"m gonna use the van real quick. *and with that he takes Raven downstairs and into the van. Where he then drives to Slasher's.
* Project-Crescent wonders how people will react, seeing a gear land infront of the ER,
<Phirax> *
<Terra`> Can't you do that on the way?
<Ire> NRP: <ER> It's a gear. ... anyone up for coffee?
* Ire nods his head.
<Ire> Alright.
<Terra`> Great.
* Ire stands up and heads for the hospital
