<Ire> Session 93: Another Story - Under Fire
<Ire> Time Chart: October 5th, 2222
<Ire> Location: Altros
* Ire stands in the hanger, along with Jake, as they discuss something. Nodding at something Jake says, he turns to look at a shuttle. He gestures at it after a moment and Jake steps into it, prepping it for flight.
* Ayn sits on the bridge, strumming on a guitar.
* Ire adjusts the red and black shirt given to him by Junior. He glances at it idly, realizing he needs to find a more civilized zone for clothing.
* Dahok sits in a chair, staring out towards the landscape, Lupis again by his side.
<Ire> GM: *they are currently in the African Zone. There's an endless line of grass and fields, with animals roaming about. It seems peaceful here, different from the Rainforest*
* Junior stands up on the observation deck, looking out the window.
<Ire> Jake: Alright, I have the shuttle prepped. You do know that IB guy is in here sleeping, right?
<Ire> Fine.
* Ayn picks up the song, nodding her head to the beat, playing a rather rousing song.
* Ire glances at a watch on his wrist, noting the time.
<Ire> Well, time to make a quick trip to the nearest town and find out where the leader of this area is currently residing.
<Ire> Jake: Doing it alone?
<Ire> Seems that way.
* Stark eyes Ire.
* Ire steps into the shuttle, taking a seat in the back of the shuttle. He leans back, crossing a leg over the next, glancing at Stark.
<Ire> Harlequin.
* Stark takes a seat on the shuttle.
<Ire> Jake: Hey, voodoo man.
* Junior heads down to the bridge, "I'll stay here incase things go wrong."
* Stark eyes Jake.
* Ayn is on the bridge, playing the quitar rather well.
<Dahok> Time to go Lupis...*stands up and begins jogging towards the hanger deck*
<Ire> Jake: *reaches over and keys something in the shuttle, the Altros rumbling as the hanger doors begin to open.*
<Dahok> Lupis: *follows behind Dahok*
<Stark> .oO(If Dahok knows Lupis isn't real, why does he talk to it?)
<Dahok> NRP: If Dahok is on another floor than Stark, how does Stark know he's talking to her?
<Stark> NRP: He can wonder generic things, ya know.
<Ire> GM: *the bridge consoles light up, indicating that the hanger doors are opening*
* Dahok drops down from a ladder and begins running towards the shuttle
* Ayn glances down, pausing from her song, and clicks on the comm "Hanger bay, you heading out for a trip?"
<Ire> Jake: I have a message coming in from the bridge. *he clicks it* Repeat that, Bridge?
<Ayn> Where are you heading?
<Ayn> wb!
<Ayn> NRP: wrong window
<Ire> Jake: ...wb?
* Dahok slides upto the shuttle and steps onto it, Lupis leaping on right behind him
* Ayn shakes her head, "Where are you heading?"
* Ire nods at Dahok.
<Ire> Jake: Recon mission and some relaxation in a nearby town. Well, relaxation for us, work for the Lt.
<Ayn> Tell him to enjoy it.
<Ire> Jake: She says---
<Ire> I heard her.
* Stark smirks slightly.
* Dahok takes a seat, Lupis leaping up on his lap right when he sits down
<Dahok> Ooof.
* Ire glances at the wolf.
<Ire> Do you take that with you everywhere?
* Ayn leans back in her chair, and goes back to her playing.
* Dahok glances at Stark
<Dahok> Do you take him with you everywhere?
<Ire> No.
<Ire> Lets go, Jake.
<Stark> I don't take Ire everywhere.
<Dahok> Well I do. *pets Lupis' head*
<Ire> Jake: Roger. *reaches out and brings the shuttle to a hovering position*
<Ire> NRP: Alright, Ayn and Junior are now out of the picture.
<Ire> Jake: *throws the lever forward and grabs the controls, flying the shuttle out of Altros and along the grasslands*
* Ire shifts, looking at Stark and Dahok briefly.
<Dahok> Lupis: *pants happily*
* Ire sighs, shifting again.
* Stark eyes Dahok.
<Stark> May I make a suggestion, perhaps you could consider it.
<Stark> (-. +?)
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle flies along the grasslands. They pass over various animals native to the area, but nothing out of the ordinary happens. Rather quickly, they are near the village. It's a simple village, with a huge wall barrier around it and only two ways in or out. Jake seems to be bringing them in over the town to land in the middle of it*
<Dahok> What? *continues petting Lupis*
<Stark> You're capable of maintaining lupis for long periods of time. That leads me to think that you have a certain level of control over the simulation.
<Stark> If you're able to conjure a wolf at will, what's to keep you from conjuring other things? Or specifying certain qualities of what you conjur?
<Dahok> Maintaining requires very little concentration, summoning her is the hardest.
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle comes down to land near some pigs. They oink and rush away, obviously having no pens around here. Ire eyes the pigs briefly, then shakes his head. As Jake powers down the shuttle, he glances at IB, still snoring*
<Dahok> I was only taught how to communicate with nature, I had no idea that what I was doing was talking to a simulation of nature.
<Stark> Yet now you do. Perhaps you could look into mastering the simulation, not simply the nature aspect.
<Ire> I'm going to the inn to get us a room while we're here. *he gets up and hits the ramp open button, walking down the ramp. With that, he walks away*
<Dahok> I have no idea where to start looking. This simulation is only acting out it's role of what my people used to do in the past.
<Stark> Well, all I can do is make suggestions. Your eyes are more open to the mechanics of the simulation than any of us, I would suspect that knowledge should have some lasting effect.
* Dahok whistles and Lupis leaps off his lap dropping onto the ground next to him
<Dahok> Everythings nothing more than a reflex, like when a muscle tenses up before it's hit.
* Ire is walking across a dirt path past a few women, who are staring at him. He ignores them, hands in his pockets, as he walks towards the inn.
<Stark> I've also been thinking, our abilities are on the varitable opposite sides of the spectrum. Yours of life and nature, mine of death and decay. It would produce an interesting result if we were to ever combine our abilities.
* Dahok stands up and begins walking down the aisle then down the ramp
<Dahok> And that's exactly the way it should be, opposite sides.
<Dahok> Lupis: *trots down the ramp*
<Stark> Have it your way, then. Though at some point unless you broaden your perspective of the simulation your pet may eventually be nothing more than a comfort mechanism.
* Ire looks rather out of place, almost as if he's brooding again, something he seemed to have stopped. It's like a step backwards from his whole speach of teamwork.
* Ire steps into the inn. He begins to speak with the innkeeper, gesturing now and again. He finally settles on a price, sliding over some gil. He grabs a key and shoves it into his pocket.
<Dahok> *stops* I've realized that Lupis here is nothing more than a simulation of a wolf spirit, but for her to exist in this simulation there must be a real her outside the simulation.
<Dahok> Come girl, let's go stretch our legs. *continues walking past the shuttle*
* Ire turns, stepping outside again. He looks over at Dahok and Stark talking. He pauses, arms crossing, watching the two long rivals speaking, wondering what they could be speaking of that doesn't involve sillyness.
<Dahok> Lupis: *looks up and trots after him*
* Ire turns away and walks into the pub. He walks past IB, who is already there drinking, apparantly having awaken already. He gives him a moment's glance, then turns and walks over to the bartender. He leans against the bar counter, speaking with him.
* Stark casts bad mojo on Dahok when he's not looking.
* Dahok stops and looks around, Lupis stopping directly beside him
<Ire> GM: *a pig runs into Dahok moments later, splattering mud on him*
* Dahok looks down at the mud on him and wipes it off
<Dahok> Let's get you something to drink. *looks around for a well*
<Ire> GM: *a well is nearby, near the edge of town*
* Dahok turns and walks towards the well, Lupis following directly beside him
* Ire buys some whiskey from the bartender as he talks. This seems to appease the man some, allowing him to work the man for more information.
<Ire> GM: *as he gets near the well, some mud on the ground trips him up and sends him falling into the well, which is a good 15 feet deep with water around the 10 foot mark*
* Dahok spashes into the water sending an eruption of water out of the well top
<Ire> GM: *moments later the bucket falls down towards Dahok's head*
<Dahok> *stays under the water of the well sinking slowly to the bottom*
<Dahok> Lupis: *head perks up and she puts her paws onto the well top and looks down*
* Stark stands behind Ire.
<Dahok> Lupis: *howls loudly down the well*
* Ire glances at Stark briefly, then back to the bartender. He nods some, turning away for good this time, glancing at Stark. He drinks some of the whiskey, then moves over to the table IB is drinking at and sits down.
<Ire> GM: *the bucket splashes*
* Dahok eyes open and he frantically swims upto the top of the water, hitting his head on the bucket when he surfaces
<Dahok> *grabs his head and begins coughing up water*
<Ire> IB: *looks around, drinking more. He seems to be inhaling it.*
<Dahok> BAD MOJO!!!
* Dahok grabs onto the bucket and uses it tohelp stay afloat, he then looks up to see Lupis howling
* Ire sips more of his whiskey. He seems to be contemplating, then hears a damn wolf howling.
<Ire> What in the hell is Fyro doing?
<Dahok> LUPIS GO GET HELP!
<Dahok> Lupis: *howls back and then leaps off the edge of the well and drops her head to the ground, sniffing for Ire's scent*
<Ire> GM: *it's pretty obvious. It leads right to the pub*
<Dahok> Lupis: *sprints along the scent and into the pub, she leaps up onto the counter near Ire and begins barking at him*
<Stark> MiniGarlandGM: *But it's laced thickly with liquor*
* Ire stares at Lupid.
<Ire> *Lupis
<Ire> ...what the fuck?
<Ire> Bartender: Either shut that dog up or I'm going to shoot it, man. Don't make me mad. *he says with a thick accent*
<Stark> ... I think he's trying to say something.
* Dahok continues to tread water
* Stark looks at Ire.
<Ire> Like what?
<Ire> IB: ... Did Timmy fall down the well again, Lassie?
<Dahok> Lupis: *drops onto the ground next to Ire and barks at him again*
<Stark> I think... oh hell, I don't understand a Dog's barking. Give him some scraps.
* Ire stares at IB.
<Dahok> *howls at IB*
<Dahok> Lupis: *turns her head and grabs onto Ire's pant leg*
* Ire offers Lupis some of his whiskey.
<Dahok> Lupis: *pulls harder on her pant leg*
<Ire> NRP: Her?!
* Stark looks at Ire.
<Dahok> NRP: Yeah Ire had a sex change.
<Stark> I think it sees you as a female, it's a wolf... it may think it's the Alpha.
<Ire> The beginning?
<Dahok> Lupis: *stops and then barks again*
<Ire> Bartender: I think it wants you to follow it.
* Ire sighs, standing. He shoves his hands into his pockets and walks ahead.
<Dahok> Lupis: *begins trotting out of the pub*
<Stark> Knowing Dahok, what do you think this is leading up to?
<Ire> Disaster.
<Dahok> *pants* Well...since I'm down here. *takes a gulp of water*
<Ayn> NRP: lol
* Ire steps outside, glancing around.
<Dahok> Lupis: *begins to pick up pace and trots towards the well*
<Stark> Is it worth taking care of?
* Ire walks towards the well, glancing at Stark, then the well. He sighs and peers over.
<Ire> Fyro?
* Dahok looks up
<Dahok> Hi!
<Ire> ...
* Ire sighs.
<Stark> ... I'll send the bucket down to him.
* Stark drops it.
<Ire> NRP: It's already down there.
<Stark> NRP: He pulled it up just to drop it again.
<Dahok> NRP: I was holding onto it anyways.
<Ire> NRP: He was.
<Dahok> NRP: I was.
<Dahok> So could I get a little help here?
<Ire> ...Can't you climb the bucket's rope?
* Stark looks at Ire.
<Stark> He doesn't need help getting out, I thought he wanted us to drop the bucket on him again.
* Dahok pulls the bucket up to see the ropes still attached
<Dahok> Well what do ya know...
<Ire> ...
* Ire reaches for his handgun like he's going to shoot Dahok right there.
<Dahok> Lupis: *puts her paws over her face*
<Stark> He's done stranger things.
* Dahok grabs onto the rope and slowly begins pulling himself up
* Stark looks at Ire.
<Stark> What if the rope breaks?
<Ire> He's in trouble.
* Dahok slips on the rope a little
<Dahok> Woh...
<Ire> GM: *the rope begins to look strained*
<Dahok> *continues to climb up the rope*
<Ire> GM: *the strains begin to look like they're about to break. He's only halfway*
<Stark> There's no sense in sitting here watching.
<Ire> Agreed.
* Stark heads back into the Tavern.
<Dahok> Heave ho, heave ho! *continues pulling himself up*
* Ire walks off again, just as the rope is on it's last stand. Dahok is 5 feet from the top
* Ire enters the pub, walking over to their table.
* Stark sits.
<Stark> Warren, what do you plan to find out here?
<Dahok> Come on rope, dont' fail me now! *continues his hard work climbing*
<Ire> I got what I already want. It was surprisingly easy. I found the location of the city where this zone's leader is at.
<Ire> GM: *the rope breaks when he's 2 feet away*
<Stark> We should be off, then.
<Dahok> Ahhhh BAD MOJO! *hands there for a fleeting moment then plummits back down into the water, making another be splash*
<Stark> This place feels... off.
<Ire> How so?
* Dahok resurfaces
<Junior> Like something ominous is about to happen.
<Ire> NRP: I knew Junior was there!
<Junior> NRP: LOL!
<Dahok> ....God I'm an idiot! *smacks his own forhead*
<Ire> Ominous, you say?
<Ire> IB: *slurs his words*
<Dahok> *flips his hand up and a vine erupts out of the ground near the well and creeps over it, growing down alongside teh well*
* Ire pushes his whiskey away. He pops his neck and stands, glancing around.
<Stark> It's as though Dahok must not leave the well, or something bad will happen.
* Dahok grabs onto the vine and begins scalling up the wall
<Dahok> NRP: Err well.
<Ire> GM: *Dahok reaches the top without incident*
* Dahok pulls himself over the well lip and lands on the ground. He looks over at Lupis who is snoring
* Stark looks out the window. "Crap."
<Ire> What?
* Dahok looks down at himself, water pouring off of him
<Stark> He got out.
* Ire glances out.
<Ire> Amazing.
* Ire looks over IB, snoring on the table.
* Stark turns to Ire.
<Stark> Something bad's about to happen.
* Dahok shakes himself like a dog, water splashing onto Lupis
<Dahok> Lupis: *opens her eyes and looks up at Dahok*
*** Caladia is now known as Cally-Sleep
<Dahok> Where's the others at Lupis?
<Dahok> Lupis: *stands upright and begins walking towards the pub*
* Dahok follows behind
* Ire turns as Dahok enters the pub. He glances at him.
<Ire> I see you made it back, Fyro.
<Dahok> Yeah, that damn roped snapped on me.
<Ire> Sounds like your luck.
<Ire> GM: *somewhere outside there's a loud explosion*
<Dahok> Sadly yes.
* Ire jerks his head around and then walks over to the door, glancing out.
<Stark> I told you.
* Dahok turns his head
<Ire> ... Seems to be some trouble at the entrance. *he closes the pub door and walks back over* But I agree, we should leave.
<Dahok> What the hell was that?!
<Ire> Some type of explosion at the entrance.
* Ire shakes IB awake.
<Ire> IB: Wha?
<Ire> Lets go. Everyone ready?
<Dahok> I guess...*rubs the back of his neck*
<Ire> GM: *at that exact moment there's a loud explosion and the front wall/door collapses as something big hits it*
<Ire> ...?!
* Ire spins, then runs over to the window and looks out.
<Dahok> Someone's making a big entrance.
<Stark> The cue to make our exit.
* Ire points out.
<Ire> I see them.
<Stark> You, beer jerk! Is there a backway?
<Dahok> Lupis: *her hair stands up on end as she begins growling*
<Ire> Bartender: Yes.
* Ire fires out the window.
<Stark> We should leave, Warren.
<Ire> GM: *suddenly a rocket flies right past Ire as he leans out the window and slams into the middle of the room. The resulting explosion sends the roof caving in*
* Stark rolls out the backway.
* Ire is thrown back, hitting a table and breaking it. He holds up a hand as a part of the roof lands on him.
<Ire> Go out the back. Head for the shuttle.
<Ire> IB: *runs out the back and begins to make tracks for the shuttle*
* Ire rolls and fires a few shots out the window, then moves outside, also.
* Dahok begins backing up towards the back entrance
* Dahok runs out the back, Lupis right behnd him
* Ire kicks in the back door, stepping in behind it. He looks around and runs around for the shuttle.
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, several bounty hunters open fire on them from various directions. One is even driving a motorcycle*
<Ire> ...what the hell...? *jerks IB out of the way of some shots, returning fire* Get on that shuttle now, people.
* Stark sits on the shuttle, powering it up.
<Ayn> NRP: that's Alja!!!
<Dahok> Jesus Christ! *ducks as a shot goes over his head*
* Ire runs up the ramp of the shuttle, also.
<Ire> IB: *runs into the shuttle*
* Stark pulls up off the ground "Everyone on?"
* Dahok sprints towards the ramp, Lupis sprinting past him*
<Ire> ...waitaminute...*looks forward as the ramp behind them begins to close* The scanners indicat----*the resulting explosion tears out the entire shuttle. It explodes brilliantly. End scene*
* Stark waits for Dahok, spending crucial seconds.
<Dahok> Lupis: *leaps onto the ramp and turns waiting for Dahok*
* Dahok leaps up and grabs onto the ramp, pulling himself up and over onto it
<Dahok> GO!
<Ire> I said "End Scene", dork.
<Dahok> BAH!
<Ire> Well, it was great killing all of you!
<Dahok> I'm still alive so NYAH!
<Ayn> lol

Session Ident: #taw
<Baberlus> Tell me about it.
* Baberlus walks over to verify the kill.
* Alja stops her bike near the wreckage.
* Bounty_Hunter steps over the wreckage, searching for bodies.
<Bounty_Hunter> I don't see any bodies. I doubt they were turned to dust.
<Baberlus> Yeah.
<Alja> We saw them get on the shuttle. We did not see them get off the shuttle.
* Bounty_Hunter twists, seeing the smoking body of Dahok. However, having turned himself to his stronger form, he managed to take only a moderate amount of damage. He will begin to stir by now from his position against the wall
<Bounty_Hunter> Here's one.
* Bounty_Hunter twists out his plasma gun.
* Baberlus raises his revolver, and shoots at Dahok.
* Alja steps off the bike, and holds out her magnum.
<Dahok> Lupis: *leaps infront of the blast taking it)*
* Dahok squints looking around
<Bounty_Hunter> Voice: Not so fast. *standing up on the top of the wall is Ire and Stark, having leapt off the raising platform on top of the wall before the explosion*
* Alja aims her gun at Stark, and fires.
*** Ire has joined #taw
<Dahok> Lupis: *slides back from the blast, smoke rising off her*
* Ire leaps off, opening fire on Livewire. He takes the bounty hunter out with moderate ease, the body collapsing in a bloody pile
* Bounty_Hunter twists and grabs his handguns, opening fire at Baberlus.
<Bounty_Hunter> NRP: Er, Dias.
<Dahok> NERP: Dahok?
<Ire> NRP: RIGHT!
* Ire lands near Baberlus. He opens fire on him with his gun.
* Dahok twists his body and rolls to the side, letting the blasts nail the wall he was leaning against
<Bounty_Hunter> IB: *lays nearby, passed out almost. He contacts Altros and asks for assistance, then passes out*
* Bounty_Hunter rushes Dahok, pulling out a sword and slashing down at him.
* Alja fires again at Stark
<Dahok> Lupis: *leaps at BountyHunter and bites down on his hand*
* Bounty_Hunter twists his hand away from Lupis before it can.
* Dahok raises his gauntlets up to block the slash*
* Baberlus spins his revolvers, shooting at Ire.
* Bounty_Hunter uses his jetpack to boost away from Dias, switching to his rocket launcher. He fires a rocket it at Dahok.
<Dahok> Lupis: *grabs air and lands on the ground across from him*
* Ire dives to the side, rolling under Baberlus' fire. He narrows his eyes, realizing this is a professional. He takes aim and fires again.
* Dahok push's himself up and leaps to the side rolling
<Dahok> Lupis: *howls madly*
<Baberlus> Stark: *staggers behind a wall*
<Bounty_Hunter> GM: *the rocket smashes into the spot Dahok was at, blowing up the ground and part of the wall*
* Dahok push's himself back upto his feet and regains his senses
<Dahok> Cheap shotting bastard...
* Bounty_Hunter loads another rocket.
* Alja spins around, and fires at Ire
* Ire ducks low and aims one handgun at Alja, returning fire.
* Dahok grabs a rock next to him and hurls it at BountyHunter
* Bounty_Hunter is hit. He aims a rifle at him and fires a plasma shot at Dahok.
* Baberlus sidesteps, throwing a rock at Ire.
* Alja growls as the bullet pierces her shoulder. She drops below her bike, and reloads her gun.
* Dahok raise's his gauntlet to take the shot
* Ire is hit by the rock, having focused on Alja too long.
<Ire> NRP: Ire fires plasma shots, not bullets.
* Baberlus takes this chance to reload his weapon.
<Alja> NRP: sorry.
* Ire aims both of his handguns and begins to charge them up for a more powerful blast. He unleashes it at Baberlus, twice as strong.
* Alja glances down, seeing the burn, and winces, "bloody plasma.... bullets are cleaner." She pops up, and fires a shot at Ire, ducking down fast.
* Bounty_Hunter finishes reloading the rocket launcher.
* Ire takes the shot in the arm. He grips it, holding it as blood runs down his arm.
* Dahok slides back from the plasma shot
<Alja> NRP: It's hard to remember I'm trying to kill Ire.
* Ire aims at the motorcycle and fires off two quick shots at it's engine/tank area.
<Alja> ....oh fuck.....
<Dahok> I'm burnt out...*turns and begins sprinting around BountyHunter
<Bounty_Hunter> GM: *Can we say "boom"?*
* Alja screams as the tank explodes, and blossems into flames about her.
<Baberlus> Amatures. *shoots Dahok*
<Dahok> Lupis: *sprints right towards BountHunter
* Bounty_Hunter aims at Dahok with the rocket launcher and fires at him.
* Ire twists on Baberlus, firing off a shot at his head.
* Dahok skids to a halt from Baberlu's shot and leaps to the side
<Bounty_Hunter> GM: *the rocket flies by and slams into the well, blowing it up*
* Baberlus spins his revolver, scanning for Stark.
* Dahok push's himself up again
* Alja is dead. Crispy.
<Ire> GM: *with no regard for the shot, the shot impacts against Baberlus' head. The plasma shot is a normal shot, though*
* Bounty_Hunter throws aside the rocket launcher.
* Baberlus fizzles.
* Dahok sprints towards Bounty Hunter and leaps into the air at him, throwing a kick towards his chest as he drops the rocket launcher
<Ire> ....
<Ire> Dammit.
* Ire twists arounsd.
<Baberlus> Damn, and I was hoping you'd shoot it later.
* Bounty_Hunter is kicked back into the ground. He grabs a crossbow and aims it at Dahok, firing an arrow.
* Baberlus standson the remains of a wall, gun trained on Ire.
* Ire trains his weapon on Baberlus, narrowing his eyes.
<Dahok> Lupis: *darts forwards and tries clawing at BountyHunters left arm
<Ire> You.
* Dahok is caught off guard by the crowwbow bolt and takes it in the right shoulder
<Bounty_Hunter> Argh!
* Bounty_Hunter activates his jets, bouncing along the ground as he flies away.
<Baberlus> It's not personal.
* Dahok twists back from the bolt piercing his shoulder
<Ire> Noted.
<Dahok> Lupis: *turns and growls at BountyHunter
* Bounty_Hunter recovers and gets to his feet.
<Baberlus> Hey, maybe if you surrender the employer may decide against the death warrant!
* Baberlus grins toothily.
* Ire tightens his finger around the trigger in response.
<Dahok> ARRRRGGHHHH!!!! *grabs onto the bolt and yanks it out, tearing more flesh out* YEEARRRGGH!!!
* Bounty_Hunter aims at the wolf and fires off a flamethrower.
* Baberlus narrows his eyes. "You know, I didn't have much time to prepare for you guys."
<Ire> Too bad.
<Baberlus> Yeah, sucks to be you.
<Dahok> Lupis: *runs directly through the fire, her fur igniting as she sprints through it*
<Baberlus> Oh, how good's your aim?
<Dahok> *looks over at Lupis* LUPIS!!!
<Ire> Near perfect.
<Baberlus> So it's pretty steady, huh?
<Dahok> Lupis: *leaps out of the flame and comes striking down on BountyHunter aiming for his chest*
* Ire just grunts in response.
* Bounty_Hunter jerks his arm up so the wolf will collide into it.
<Alja> NRP: Ire is sexy!
<Baberlus> Good. *shoots, his gun aimed for the barrel of Ire's gun*
* Ire blinks, then twists and reveals his second handgun in the other hand. He fires off a quick shot at Baberlus' chest, right as the bullet slams into his first gun's barrel.
<Dahok> Lupis: *opens her mouth and latches down onto his arm, locking her jaw, she's also on fire*
<Bounty_Hunter> Dammit. *jets straight into the air*
* Baberlus rolls out of the way.
<Dahok> Lupis: *hangs there growling*
* Ire drops the first handgun as it blows up.
* Ire takes steady aim and fires off another shot at Baberlus.

* Baberlus reloads his revolver.
* Bounty_Hunter passes the bolt and slams into the ground.
* Dahok sprints forward towards the downed Bounty Hunter
<Ire> Calvary is here.
* Bounty_Hunter raises his arm and fires off a stream of fire at Dahok. His face is bloodied from impacting against the ground and cutting it.
* Ire brings out his comm.
<Ire> Everyone onboard, get down here and help us.
* Dahok dash's to the side
* Junior jumps down.
<Dahok> Fight with some honor you pansy.
<Bounty_Hunter> GM: *as that's said, Jake shows up and attachs something to the Altros, signaling it to teleport up IB. After that's down, all the remaining Alt Team appears - Sil, Ayn, Pope, etc.*
* Dahok continues sprinting around, keeping the flame behind him
<Ire> It seems you are outnumbered, bounty hunters.
* Bounty_Hunter stands wobbily, turning off the flame. He swings his sword at Dahok's head.
* Dahok throws his left arm up to block with his gauntlet

* Ire rejoins the others, nodding to Pope.
