Riders At The World's End - Phase 2: Mortal Danger [FROZEN]

[willofbob]

Suddenly, a black car swerved around the corner. the gunner on the roof firing into a small crowd behind him while the driver cackled maniacly. The crowd began to retreat and the car slowed to a halt. "I told you we should have made a left at Church Lane!" yelled the driver, a tall zombie of a man in a suit, "It's not my fault you blasphemed against the jewels," the gunner intoned, a small man in a robin blue buttler outfit and vibrant yellow top hat, "'Rather dull crystals" you said! did you think they were going to let that slide!?" It took a second for them to notice the downed biker and woman in Jewels finery near to killing him.

Angus, being the man that he is, ran towards her and grabbed the axe on its way down, before it could connect with the man's flesh. "Pardon me, miss, but I seem to have... Hey, wait! I know you! you worked for that inquisitor woman who tried to kill Trevor! How are you doing" He took her hand "Oh! and by the way, do you know the way to a place called Tyreyard?"

Spoiler: OOC

Carl laughed 'I am the greatest driver in this city of course I can keep up', Carl then did the same thing he did to get over the gap to jump on to a roof, he drove along the road Hallas was driving along. After a few minutes of driving trying to show of some tricks like driving on one wheel to Hallas, he heard two gun shots, they were near the green jewel boarders so Carl knew this was his chance to make the delivery and help out his fellow red eagles. after driving to were he heard the gun shots he looked down on a green jewel pointing his gun at another person who was bleeding at his knees well of course they shoot the knees when they can go in for the killing blow I love that..crap I forgot to tell Hallas I was going to investigate the gun shots, he he can figure it out. 'hey green jewel I have a package for you' Carl shouted from a roof top down to the green jewel.

Spoiler: clarification

The green jewel is Sky Carl is just presuming that the green jewel is a guy

Hallas pulled up a few metres behind Carl and laid his bike down flat so to keep it out of sight, he then took a muddy tarp and covered the bike with it.

As he walked over to carls position on the hill he kept low, still out of sight of the jewels, he then sat down and took out his rifle, ready for trouble.

"Carl, I'll keep my presence unknown, I'll step in if there's any trouble or if they're peaceful." He whispered horsely to carrl as he began to load his rifle from a pouch of soft points on his belt. After he had finished loading the bullets he pushed the bolt handle forwards and looked back up at carl.

"Ready carl, go for it." He whispered as he scratched his chin and waited for action.

Spoiler: =OOC @ willofbob

it seems that you have all entered a paralell universse in which my character isn't standing in the middle of the bloody street ! This could be problematic for me

And you've entered a world in which you can catch axes on the downswing. And where the Jerusalem Man isn't present. And where we don't have a group for OOC chat

As the madman charged at Skye and grabbed her axe, Shannow raised his gun. "Back off, heathen," he growled, "And do not interfere with out work here."

Suddenly a voice called "Hey Green Jewel I have a package for you!"

"'They came bearing false gifts, and wrought grievous harm'" muttered the Preacher, so quiet only Skye could hear him properly, "'But in time their treachery failed them, and they were found out'"

Louder he called, "Bring it out, then, good courier"

Carl saw the other green jewel pointing his gun at a man holding an axe how the hell did I not notice him earlier Carl drove straight of the roof landing with a big bang, 'I am so glad I wore a cup', Carl slowly walked up to the man and handed him the package, 'just saying chances are it's a bomb, so be careful with it' Carl started walking away and then turned around taking his spear of his back 'Also if you don't let my fellow red eagle go I will have paint your face red with blood, and you insides grey with meal' Carl said with a hint of anger in his voice, he readied himself for a fight.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Jacob looked back at Skye, unfazed. "Pain, is a temporary..." He clenched his teeth and held in the pain. "I see the Jerusalem man is with you and he is about to fight..." Jacob laughed, blood finally dripping out the corner of his mouth from the hit Skye gave him. "Fellow Eagle, I would run... If you want to survive. You face The Jerusalem Man. But if you want to live continue... But know that if you kill him, I'll kill you eventually..." Jacob finally rummaged enough strength to grab his pistol with his uninjured arm and aimed in at Skye, shaking however. "You are just like my fellow Eagles, who torture others before they kill them... I hate them, the only reason I joined was to kill the ones they kill faster." His arm flopped and fell to the floor.

 

[SkyeNeko]

Skye growled at the comparison Jacob made between her and the Reds. I am nothing like them... I take no pleasure in this, I only deal out the judgement of the Jewels. In one fluid movement she unsheathed her knife and cut into the wrist of the man holding her axe, yanking it back and retreating towards Shannow. She didn't have the guns for a fight like this... But if she had to die here defending the Green territory so be it. "You are all trespassers in the Jewels' territory. If you make greats against us, we shall strike you down in the name of the Green God. I take his man's life because he took pleasure in the slaughter of my brothers, even when they retreat. I desire he life of his accomplice because she is a monster knowing only how to distribute pain and suffering." Her voice came out a lot braver than she felt.

 

[nuba km]

'I AM CARL O'NEIL, red eagle, I dance with the reaper for fun and shower in my own blood. I don't fear death, I enjoy it but you can only die once so I get as close as possible without dying but staying alive so I can enjoy death another day' Carl cut his arm and used the blood to draw whiskers on his face, 'all I want is the red eagle whether we bleed or not is up to you two, but you should know I am not alone, we may be the red eagles but we are more like rats, we hide in corners, scavenge, fight with each other, but when there is something that threatens us all we will fight and we are more numerous then you ever suspected' Carl was pumped adrenaline pumping through his body he felt like he could take on an army.

 

[The Clown]

" That is it, this skye needs to kick it" Hallas thought to himself as he turned off the safety on his rifle and rolled over onto his belly and aimed down at the group through his variable scope.

"Shame to kill one so young, but.... a jewel is a jewel.... and jewels have to die."

He zoomed in on them then aimed at skye's head, she moved slightly as she talked and he followed her head with a trained eye.
He breathed in and held it, then pulled the trigger and fired two bullets soaring for skye's upper torso and head.

 

[ThreeWords]

"'They claimed not to fear the Angle of Death'" quoth Jon he raised the package, "So the Angel descended upon them with wings of pain'"

He threw the package back at Carl. It hit the ground at his feet and exploded, as over the roar of the blast he called, "You have tricked us before, Carl O'Neil, and now your treachery has returned to you"

 

[nuba km]

Thrown to the floor Carl's suit torn and his skinned burned, 'this ain't even in the top 200, you-' Carl coughed up some blood while starting to get of the ground, 'you will have to try harder to kill a dead man for a dead men don't fear the reaper' Carl was smiling, he stuck his spear into the ground, 'I am going to kill you with my fists so I can see a man people see as a god bleed'. Carl charged at the Jerusalem man, he jumped a good 3 feet of the ground and came down with his knuckle dusters.

 

[ThreeWords]

Shannow sighed, and his hand blurred. Without a visible movement, he had drawn his other huge pistol and had it pointed unwaveringly at Carl. Heathens didn't deserve such things as 'fair play'

 

[nuba km]

when Carl came down his stomach hit the pistol and his knuckle duster merely scratched the Jerusalem man's face.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

IGNORE

 

[SkyeNeko]

Skye could have sworn she heard a gun click. Before she could turn, however, a shockwave threw her off her feet. Whether it had been shrapnel from the explosion or the gunshot, her arm was bleeding. It had grazed her skin, but left a deep cut that was happily letting go of her precious life fluid. She clapped her hands over her ears, trying to focus as they rung. Carl was fighting with Shannow, and it didn't look like the other two men were too keen on joining the fight for now. She decided the best thing she could do was find the sniper. The click didn't sound like it had come from anywhere on the ground...

What did Selena say about guns... if you can't see him he's probably... she looked up at the roofs. Makes sense.

She ran into the nearest building, startling an old woman. "Whoops, sorry ma'am, uh... stay down or something." Skye ran up the stairs and climbed to the roof from a window. Careful to keep low, she scanned the rooftops.

 

[The Clown]

Hallas laid low, out of sight, he reloaded the two lost bullets to his gun then rested it down next to him.
He then took his shaving mirror out from his breast pocket and used it to look up over the cill of the top of the small ledge he was behind, skye was several roofs away and looked injured.

"Damn, why didn't I use my hollow points, she'd be missin an arm, ok, stay quiet she knows you're up here."

Hallas then picket up his rifle and rolled back to his shooting position, he aimed at the girl who was clambering over the rooftops looking for him, she had her back turned to him but honour meant nothing if you were dead, he aimed for the back of her head and got ready to fire..... no, he was better than this.

Hallas instead aimed down, and took two swift shots to the back of each of her legs, he was closer to her now and missing would be hard.

 

[SkyeNeko]

Another two shots. Skye shrieked as she felt the hot metal slash through her legs. She fell behind the concrete ledge of the flat ceiling, safe for the moment. Her teeth clamped down on the handle of her dagger as she examined her new bullet wounds. She now had a bad arm, and bad legs. But she wasn't Selena's understudy for nothing. The shooter was no closer than 10 roofs away. What she couldn't figure out was why she wasn't dead. She reloaded her revolver holding it against her chest, feeling her heart beat increase. She shouted over the roofs.

"Why didn't you take the kill? A bit higher and I would be dead."

 

[The Clown]

Hallas remained hidden and shouted back to skye "I seem to have become soft in my older age, in my teen years I would have killed you without a seconds thought, and I know I will most likely regret sparing you, but I hate to kill those who haven't had a chance to fight."

Hallas then picked up his gear and keeping low, scuttled across the rooftops to a few roofs along then sat back down and pulled out his water bottle which he drank from hastily then replaced.

 

[Impluse_101]

After the two hour trip through the wasteland, June finally arrives up at the tower which rumored to have some still fresh tech. "Huh, didn't look as tall as I thought it would be." slowly walking up to the tower, and from the ground, she sees the remains of others who were around it. "Looks like the security turrets got them." looking up at the tower and seeing one turret pointed at her and clicking. "Out of ammo huh. Poor thing." continueing up to the tower and arriving at a door. "Probably also booby trapped." her gaunlets powering up, and June punches the door, leaving three dents in the metal door. The door falling down upon the floor "Nothing huh..." tapping the door with her boot. "I'll be flying blind here, which makes this all the more fun..." making her way into the hollow husk of the tower.

 

[SkyeNeko]

"Reds are the worst when they're young it seems..." Skye peeked over the ledge, looking for Hallas.

"Why are you protecting this guy anyways? Do you even know him, or has the fact that you're both neither here nor there brought you together?" She whimpered as she tied bandages around her bleeding limbs.
