Hellhounds. A Starcraft RP (Recruitment by invite only; send msg) Chapter 1: Fall of the Confederacy

[Mr Fatherland]

Dakor had done a good job on the tank. We all climbed back on and geared up.
"Dakor, we're following you back to base, we're running out of tank shells. The battlefield can wait a liitle while, I'm sure it won't miss us."

 

[Nick Bounty]

Boomer watched through field glasses at the events unfolding. He watched in horror as he saw the tank get pinned down and come under Zerg attack. He saw that Romen and Drake were managing well despite the lack of ammunition. Suddenly Boomer noticed a couple of zerg had managed to encircle the tank and creep up on the two soilders unnoticed. Boomer was about to yell a warning into the communicator when suddenly the zerg exploded into a million pieces.

Puzzled he scanned the area but saw nothing. More and more zerg began to explode suddenly. It appeared that they were just as startled as he was. Suddenly out of nowhere a shape of a man appeared, as if from thin air. He was holding a knife and was stabbing a zerg creature to death. That had to be Markus. But now he too was exposed and out of ammo.

Things were getting out of hand fast untill Dakor showed up with the extra ammunition. That's one crisis resolved. He knew that in an emergency they could always use some Stim packs for added power.

"All unit's this is Boomer. If you are in need of Stim packs to boost your energy or for a short burst of improved firepower, I have set aside some at the machine shop. Remember, the effects are short term. So don't use them unless you absolutely ready for it".

Sitting on the tank picking of any Zregs that got to close, well heading back to base Drake, keep his eye open for anything out of the ordinary, his whole body felt like something big sat on him, not having recovered from last Zreg engagement, but he was happy he climbed on the tank or else Roman would have been the next K.I.A now he was looking forward to some of those sim packs. But when hw look over his shoulder he saw an overlord closing in on them, ?Incoming Overlord? he yelled and said in the COM.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Marcus turned around and spotted the Overlord which was still some distance away. He wasn't carrying any long range weapons that could bring down the Zerg unit.

"Any units out there" Marcus spoke on the radio. "We have a Zerg command unit on our tail, anyone that has a clear shot please take the target out"

 

[zacaron]

rotating the barrle of the tank Dakor fired one of the three shells he had loaded in earlyer vaporising the overlord and showering the surrounding area with gore.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

"Or we could just use the gun turret...Did we always have that?" Marcus asked with a smile pointing to the smoking gun; clearly impressed with Dakor's engineering skills. "And how far are we to our base?"

 

[zacaron]

"yes we always had the cannon but I used the last shot during the airial attack...I was going to reload it but SOMEBODY took it and drove off without putting more ammo into it or repairing it. and were about 6 minutes away from the base by tank."

 

[meglathon]

"well that was convininte..." Drake said to Roman with a disapruving look.
"But I can't see any other unite that would hace been with the Overlord, it was all alone, and they almost never move alone someting up, and my gut tell's me that it's going to be trouble." Drake keept look back at what use to be an overlord, still having an unsetaling felling about all that is going on on this God forsaken rock.

 

[shotbyamonk]

the com went off again this time from a voice un heard for quite a while "YEEEEEEHAAAAAAH" the high pitch wirring noice was soon to follow in the distance, darting down with break neck speed came the crison glow of the hellhounds armor on a dusty and used feild of grey. It was base

zipping down from the horizan towards the stranded crew of the tank. a loud thud rung out as the vultures onboard rpg launcher fired towards one of the zerglings evaporating it into small pieces of floating gore. " Hope you boys didn't forget about me "

once base got within range of the tank, pulled back the speed and started to run circles around the stranded tank. pulling out his custom automatic hell hound issue machine gun and raising it steadily while keep a firm grip on the vultures steering with the other hand, he began to unload into the piles of zerg built up around the tank, performing circles still untill he had hit and killed all the zerg he missed the first time until nothing coated the ground execpt the crison glow of the dismembered bodys. pulling up beside the tank and giving a smug look towards every on board he stateted "and thats why 100 bullets are better then 1" and then zipped of back to the town

Returning to town shootting a smug look towards Marcus he aproched the commander " Sorry sir when you gave the order not to attack I was already to close to respond, they would have heard my thought so I had to high tail it out of there, but somthing tells me they knew I was there any way. The plan seems quite sound and I am ready to lend my guns whereever you need me, This vulture how ever is almost out with only two shots left" .

"If I was to make a sudgestion on the attack, I would say that before we assult there highly defended base that we first inquire about a strafing run performed by the nearby hell hound defence ships followed by a suroundding strike lead by Dakor's tank, that will spilt up remaining zerg making it harder for the overlords to control them. meeting in the middle and flanking the ultralisk because no one by themselfs could kill that beast". pausing for a moment and thinking about what he just said he may have thought he had over stepped his bounds. "I'm sorry sir mine is to act, not to think" getting back onto the vulture, turning around and zipping back, he returned to the tank ready to help defend the tank on its way back to base

Occ: sorry about the late post, I live in aust and alot of posting happens when I'm sleeping

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

The tank finally pulled into the base rumbling to a stop in front of the machine shop. Marcus hopped off and let out a loud sigh of relief. That was a close call with the tank and the Zerg. His suit was covered with Zerg blood and remnants of zergling guts. "Their insides smell just as bad their outsides" he claimed as he brushed himself off.

After the hand-to-hand combat with a Zerg Hydralisk, Marcus was left feeling a bit shaken up if not a little rattled under the nerves. He dropped his emptied Gauss rifle at the Supply depot and made his way to the machine shop to pick up a much needed Stim pack.

"I know...I smell like crap" he said as passed a bewildered looking civilian. Marcus picked up a Stim pack and moved to the armory to pick up his Hellhound armor and his trusty Sniper Rifle and some extra ammo. They had to get ready again to relaunch the counter attack. Every minute spent at the base narrows the window of opportunity they have for eradicating the Zerg.

"If everyone is ready arming themselves we should roll out ASAP" he said to the squad. "We can fit enough in the tank and we also have a jeep and a Vulture". He looked over to the commander. "Do we have air support for the attack?" he asked.

Spoiler: OOC

I don't know where the commander is in relation to all these events, last I checked he was moving towards the tank to assist but no word since then. I assumed he came back with us to the base.

 

[meglathon]

Drake looked at the commader and them to Marcus before, he spoke. "Sir... I'm in pretty bad shape right now, permiton to stay behind for now till I'm back to fighting shape..." he didnt want to stay but, he be no good as a dead man, better to stay back and live, to fight an other day.

 

[xxcloud417xx]

"Sit tight Drake." Chris said. "And when the hell did we get air support?" He looked up at the sky and saw a Battlecruiser flying into the atmosphere. "Well I'll be..."
"Hellhounds, this is Battlecruiser Cerberus" A voice crackled on the comms. "We've got some wraiths and a Yamato cannon at your disposal."
"It's good to hear from you guys!" Chris said. "But I thought you were ordered to return to base."
"To hell with orders Chris!" A new voice said, it was the ship's commander, Rick McCarthy, a long time friend of Chris' "We weren't going to let the Zerg and the Protoss take out the Confederacy's finest!"
Chris chuckled. "You know that title is still being disputed between us and Alpha Squad."
"Bah!" Rick said. "All of us up here know who's earned it more!"
"Right, Rick." Chris said. "Send in some Wraiths to support my boys, there's also an Ultralisk, we need it taken out before the final push. And that Yamato you can use on the Zerg Hive."
"What about the Protoss?" Rick asked.
"Protoss are friendly for the moment" Chris replied. "Let's keep it that way."
"Orders recieved, Commander James." Rick said. "And good hunting, Hellhounds."
"Hellhounds!" Chris yelled, "Rally up and let's give these sons of bitches a taste of Hell they'll never forget! OOH RAH!"

 

[Mr Fatherland]

"Hey Chris, Shouldn't we just let the Protoss deal with the Zerg, I mean, We have Wraiths on our side. Do we have to go in. Drake is down, There would only be three of us. I think we should leave the battle for 10 minutes and mop up afterwards."

 

[xxcloud417xx]

"Yes but if the Protoss get overrun we're going to have to deal with ALL the Zerg." Chris said. "I won't take that chance."

 

[meglathon]

?This is Drake Holeram to battlecruiser Cerberus? said Drake transmitting to the cruiser ?Sharpshooter class Delta Ninetow Id number 6660-955 Hellhoudes, I am badly injured and in no fighting condition, many of my wounds are reopening and planet side medical supplies are getting sparse, requesting permission to come aboard for medical assistance?, there was a pause then ?This is Dr. Morgan Ranfan, Id number verified, and you?re request is granted, you are to come adored the next supply vessel and come aboard we will be waiting. Ranfan out.?
Drake let out a sight, out of both pain and the sense that he let down the squad, where he sat down in the transport an pulled his harness down. As the back door closed, he saw the commander and the rest of the Hellhoudes getting ready to head out, and he wondered, how he would be see back alive

 

[Mr Fatherland]

"I see, well hop on the Tank, you too Marcus. We may as well get this over with."

 

[xxcloud417xx]

"Hey Chris!" Rick's voice came back. "I've got a surprise for you!"
Chris saw a dropship fly over him and land not to far back from his Position. Then he saw two Goliaths walk out of it. "Christmas came early?" He asked Rick.
Rick laughed, "You and another of your boys grab one and give em hell on my behalf!"
"Gladly." Chris said walking over to one of the Goliaths. An engineer jumped out and saluted him before walking back into the dropship to get some supplies. Chris climbed into the vehicle and looked over the controls. The Goliath then started walking over to the other Marines. He chuckled and said. "It's just like riding a Bike! You never forget how to pilot these!"

 

[Grab-bag]

Ross looked through his scope and popped open another head.
"Ooh-Rah!" Shouted Ross, smirking and chewing his gum.
"Come on!"

 

[Mr Fatherland]

Again, the Zerg could not withstand the combined effort of two Goliaths and a Tank. The Protoss killed any Zerg in view and our mech force shredded the bug mess. It was going to be over soon. Very soon.

 

[Tegual]

"Commadner, korbus here, i've got a sight on the zerg base and they have started setting up Spore Colonies, i'd keep any air support out of there way until we take those out. But we'd better ack fast i saw explosions on the ridge i think the protoss are getting there asses handed to them." Loading explosive round into his rifle, takes aim and blows a spore colony to hell.
