The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[mcpop9]

Dani's sensors picked up the rocket and she only had time to just protect herself from it. The blast sent her flying, clutching the three grenades in her hands. She hit the floor and skid across it, coming to rest against a wall. Getting up, her armor was running hot, not burning, but still hot none the less.

She tossed the grenades into her shield's field and let them float there as she charged the nemesis once again. She closed the distance to the nemesis which was standing up again. She was moving extremely fast and had one grenade in each hand now. Each arm, she extended into a punch that was aded by bladed shields from her knuckles which allowed her to enter into his shoulders.

She recoiled, pulling the pins on the grenades as the flesh healed around them. Then she took the last one an punched into his gut, arming it and leving it there as she directed all of her shields close to her body, ready to absorb their explosion or a hit from the nemesis.

Coulange, Teri

[color=0E59E4]

"COULANGE!"

[/color]

She stabbed another interloper with her spear; but found two more where he fell. Things were getting rougher on her end, now that her wingman was downed,

[color=0E59E4]

"I got some spells that'll fix your mech up, just hold on! I'll be right there! Keep talking to me if you have to, just stay awake! Don't look at the light, keep your eyes open and concentrate! RAAAAGGH!!!"

[/color]

Pointing at one of the opposing mechs, a stream of ice blasted through an enemy mech; causing it to begin to shake as it's systems began to fail.

Angelus, Caim, Devon

Caim rushed to the escape pod right after the blade sunk deep into Tomoya's mech, knowing full well Angelus and Devon were about do their worst to the winged mech in a matter or seconds. Thankfully, his timing proved correct, and he found himself laughing like the madman he was when he shot out of the pod and saw the ensuing carnage wrought by his comrades. Of course, that reverie ended shortly when Tomoya began to reform in space.

"Well done! ... Ah hell."

"Caim! I'll be right there, just keep your mind open!"

The warrior didn't need telling twice, and found himself greatly relieved when the dragon grabbed the pod. When she did so, she turned and began pouring dragonfire into the machine, in a desperate bid to stop any weapons coming her way as Caim made his way to the cockpit. Thankfully, with his brute strength, the warrior had no issue getting out and into the cockpit; but the movement available to both of them was a bit limited now....

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Dani

Nemesis reeled from both the shoulder attacks and the gut punch.
Glancing over himself and seeing the grenades, he roared at the top of his lungs, not happy with having to rebuild himself after this.
Still, keen to get the last laugh in this fight, he leaped up in the air and belly flopped right on top of Dani, pinning her the the ground.
[color=002000]"oug-jectron!"[/color] He snarled in her face before violently exploding, sending green blood, slime and body parts everywhere.

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Slindis

Slindis pushed her machine that last bit and got to Rugal's escape pod right as it fully broke open and got the man inside the cockpit. It was definitely a tight fit, but she proved herself more than able as she swatted away the majority of the blades in the area. [color=c20000]"Rugal, that was far too close! Now hold on tight: I'm getting you back to the Hagane."[/color] She picked open holes in the defenses of Tomoya's army as she made her way back to the ship, and before long they were back in the hangar.

[color=c20000]"I can understand you not wanting to head back out in the fight, but I've still got some people to cover out there. We'll be back soon with a victory in hand."[/color] As she opened the cockpit, Rugal saw one large machine that had been left unused in the fight. One thing that he noticed was the size of it. At 47 meters, it towered over the machine Slindis was in, and it was much larger than the machine he'd been using alongside Melethia.

Spoiler: The Machine

Although the King of Fighters had good reason to want to stay back in the ship, there was something about this machine that seemed to call out to him...

Melethia

As the launched blades approached her as well, she redirected the attacks from them to hit the Angel machines as she continued to terrorize the Angels around her with her merciless assault. It was hard to say what was worse: being mauled by such a cute machine or having to flee from a machine that was designed with small girls in mind.+

"Get back here! I'm not done scouring your bodies with plasma yet, you pathetic sacks of flesh!" She was beginning to lose herself in the anger, but any that thought she'd get sloppier were sorely mistaken: it just meant that she'd painfully draw out the killing process.


Coulange, Teri

Even though he was as good as dead, he talked to Teri in a sincere tone. "Teri, I know I pushed you away with how I acted. You know what, though? You're an amazing woman, and I wish that I could explain everything I felt. Still, even with your magic, I'm a goner. He tore right through the protective casing on the engine and I'm pretty sure I need more than a third of my small intestine to live. Now stand back, and I'll show you that a real man chooses how he dies."

He blocked one last machine that was trying to attack Teri, taking another serious injury in the process. "All I ask is that you don't blame yourself. Could you promise me that?" With the last bits of strength in him, he pushed hard to one last enemy formation as his machine's reactor detonated, taking out a chunk of enemies along with it.

Angelus, Caim, Devon

As Angelus and Caim reunited, Devon began looking through the weapons systems again and took note of the Cyflash. "Hmm... it's gonna have to be a one shot thing with that amount of energy, but now's the time to use it."

He raised his machine's blade to collect the wind energy around it, pouring the last reserves he had into this attack as he swung the blade out to launch the shockwave. Oddly, Caim and Angelus were completely unscathed as the shockwave washed over their machine. The same couldn't be said for the swords approaching them, though.

"Cyflash!" Another attack on that scale would render the Bard unconscious, but he would do what he had to if it stopped the Hot Topic angel.

(It's the first attack in the video.)

 

[mcpop9]

"This is gunna hurt!" She shouted before he exploded atop of her. The remnants of him rained down around her, as her suit began to burn her flesh, bioflesh, whatever you'd like to call it. She got up and began to strip the armor off of herself, revealing burnt and charred flesh beneath.

It wasn't too long before she had finished getting the armor off of herself, but she had a tank-top on and underwear now, not having been prepared to lose her armor. She picked up an assault rife one of them had, an m4 with a red dot sight. She grabbed a few mags for it and continues along the path Viscus set for her. "Damn, Viscus, i'm going to need constant reports since my suit overheated." She said, thankful for all of those before her and their experience.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Slindis

The second he was inside the cockpit, he began to break down in a mess of "THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANK YOU!"'s before the pair of them squished inside the one person cockpit.
"I am NEVER going into space AGAIN. EVER." He said to himself as Slindis brought them away from the battlefield
[color=c00000]"Rugal, that was far too close! Now hold on tight: I'm getting you back to the Hagane."[/color]
"Agreed, I'm sorry, but I just can't take it out there..." He admitted, actually pointing out his inability to do anything in a FIGHT of all things.
The trip back to the Hagane was a short one as he collected himself after his harrowing ordeal out there.
[color=c00000]"I can understand you not wanting to head back out in the fight, but I've still got some people to cover out there. We'll be back soon with a victory in hand."[/color] Slindis said before dropping him off back in the Hanger, a medical crew standing by.

Once she was gone, he took off his helmet and punched a wall in anger, "Nearly 30 straight years of training and THIS is where is gets me!? Sitting out one the biggest battle of them all?!" He shouted, using his Anger to drown out his Fear.
Jenny was part of that medical team as Rugal sat down, defeated.
"Rugal, are you hurt anywhere? Where there any leaks in your suit?" she asked as Rugal stared off into the distance.
At the Blue Mech.
"....Rugal?..."
"....Yeah, I'm fine...and suddenly a lot less worried about Tomoya...." He said as he approached it, strangely the only question in his mind wasn't whether or not to get in, but rather:
"....Does that one come in Red?..."

Dani

"Affirmative. Update Code: 00001: That Nemesis T Type still isn't dead."

Viscus snidely answered as Dani felt a huge hand grab her ankle.
Looking down, it was the decapitated arm of Nemesis, least everything below his elbow.

"Update Code: 00002: The Subject seems to have retained sentience despite being decapitated and having it's extremities disconnected from his cerebral cortex."

He added before Dani noticed some of the Nemesis's larger chunks were still moving slightly.
And to top it off? A Undead like groan filled the air as Nemesis's head expressed his displeasure of being blown up.

 

[mcpop9]

Dani kicked the hand off of her ankle and moved forwards, making sure to avoid nemesis chunks. "I can't kill something that regenerates everything i hit it." She said then followed her previous trains of thought. "We need to get the power back up. Following your route now." She said, advancing at a steady pace, checking corners and making sure she was clear before advancing.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Dani

"Update Code: 00003: There are still 23911 BOWs in the complex. Update Code: 00004: There is a 95.2342% Chance of a fatal encounter occurring."

Viscus buzzed in, clearly Trolling at this point.
The air inside the lab was humid from the amount of organic matter that formed over the years, coating the once completely sterile lab and turning it into something from a nightmare.
With the power gone the area was pitch black, while this wasn't a problem to her, it didn't help the situation in the slightest.

"Update Code: 00005: Warning [URL=http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/10354/2234137-duvalia.jpg]"Duvalia"[/URL] and [URL=http://images.wikia.com/residentevil/images/7/73/ProtoTyrant.png]ProtoTyrant[/URL] inbound."

Viscus warned, causing her to turn and see the pair of BOWs nearing her.

Meanwhile, Nemesis's arm crawled over to his head and began to take directions on piecing him back together.
He lamented the low intelligence of his limb and watched as it tried to re-attach his spine to his knee.
He was going to kill that woman for this...

 

[mcpop9]

"Don't have time for this... Viscus, how far until the power room?" She asked, aiming and taking shots at their knee's, hopefully slowing them down. She then backed up and turned down another path, hoping to rout herself around them.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Dani

"Update Code: 00006: You are currently 243.21 meters away from the Reactor."

Viscus answered as he brought up the access route he picked out, noting possible hazards, namely large collections of BOWs.

"Update Code: 00007: The stairs will allow for faster access. Update Code: 00008: The Stairs host a pack of 6 [URL=http://darkdevastation.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/hunter_remake.png?w=307&h=446]"Hunters"[/URL]."

He stated as The Proto Tyrant shambled after her, while it was much weaker then its brothers, Dani fought the last ones in her armor and she only had so many clips...

 

[mcpop9]

"Viscus, mark the reactor on my eyes, let me know where it is int terms of vertical-ity. I have an idea." She said turning around and taking a few shots at its head, then focusing on its chest cavity. Hoping it slowed down, she began to kick the wall, making dents in it before finally kicking the panel out. She let the rifle hand on it's sling as she swung to the outside and stared down at the massive void of open space below her. "Stella, thank you for your memories about this place. I think i'd be dead without you, right now." She said climbing up ontop of the corridor.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Dani

"Understood, transmitting waypoint."

Thus, a marker appeared in her FOV, much like the ones used in FPS these days.
The Reactor was several floors above her and see saw the distance meter decease with every inch she climbed.

"Update Code: 00008: [URL=https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ilyig-Ja7aQ/T0_QYxBn9UI/AAAAAAAAF9Q/3PM8CiOOnFY/s288/Resident%252520Evil%2525205%252520-%252520042.jpg]"Kipepeo"[/URL] BOWs inbound."

Viscus stated as several flying worm creatures began to attack her as she climbed, one wrapping itself around her neck to choke her.

 

[mcpop9]

Holding on with one hand, Dani reached up and grabbed the creature that was wrapped around her throat. With superhuman stregnth, her hand clamped down and began to crush the part wrapped around her neck, eventually completely breaking it and putting it in two. She pulled it off of her and threw it back, quickly targeting it's wings with her rifle and shredding them. She dropped the mag out of it and slapped in a new one.

Then The android targeted the other's and tore their wings apart, watching them fall out of the air like rocks. Then she continued climbing, looking ahead of her for each foot and hand hold, making her climb incredibly quick.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri

The Cleric paused for a moment, dumbfounded by the fact that her comrade had just died in front of her. But, as with Rugal's 'death' a moment ago, this only bolstered the girl: rage and a want for vengeance filling her heart with the sadness. With a cry of anger, Teri felt a turn attempt burn away as she screamed,

[color=0E59E4]

[b]"I'm gonna make [u]all[/u] of you fuckers regret doing that![/b] [HEADING=2][b][i][u]DIE![/u]"[/i][/b][/HEADING]

[/color]

Drawing a circle around herself, gigantic copies of Garm and Squishy appeared behind the Oto-Hime, and began to unleash hell [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyHsvS80-3M&t=2m35s] onto the cluster of soldiers before her. By the time all was said and done, only ice shards remained in her wake; and the Cleric turned her spear to her next victim.

Spoiler: Rage!Teri Battle Music

Cutie Bruisers

After Slindis cleared off to aid Rugal, the duo accessed their options... And found an interesting one. Looking to each other, the Cuties roared, pouring their energies into the machine; causing a massive shockwave to overtake a large portion of the army they were entrenched in.

0:40

Rugal

To the King of Fighters' pleasant surprise, it did indeed come in red. As he accessed the controls and began basic startup; he heard some noise over his intercom. Upon tuning in, he found that he had accessed Teri's and Melethia's signals and... Needless to say, what he heard was quite unlike what he was used to from either of them:

"Get back here! I'm not done scouring your bodies with plasma yet, you pathetic sacks of flesh!"

[color=0E59E4]

[b]"I'm gonna make [u]all[/u] of you fuckers regret doing that![/b] [HEADING=2][b][i][u]DIE![/u]"[/i][/b][/HEADING]

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

"....They really care that much?...." Rugal asked himself as he heard the radio feed detailing them going out of their way to "Avenge" him, not to mention Slindis actually saving him despite the high chance of him choosing his Cartel over her.
The Fear of space still lingered, but the ang-....
...Huh, that's new... Rugal thought as his rage was replaced with something else, something he couldn't quite put his finger one...
Either way, it was enough to get him back into the game.
"Attention all, Rugal Bernstein Lives." He said on the open channel as he selected "Free-Form Control" on his control panel.
His Cockpit lowered him into a empty room full of sensors.
He cracked his neck, the mech followed his actions 1:1.
"Right...pretend you...are in the sea..." He said to himself before sprinting out of the hanger and leaping back into the fight.
"All right, who wants to die first?"

Dani

The Distance to the reactor was now less then 100 meters and there were signs pointing out what halls Dani should take.

"Update Code: Nth: Large Readings of BOWs in surrounding areas, proceed with caution."

Viscus stated, looking forward to what was about to happen.
She entered the old reactor of the Complex, it was offline of course but the second she reactivated it, the entire lab would be up in arms at the noise it would make.

Spoiler: Reactor

"Update: The controls for the reactor are in the main control room to your left. Keep in mind that I'll have to wait for the weapon systems to reboot before I can purge the lab."

He warned, keeping all the data on the effect it would have on the Hoard to himself, Well within the safeguards and rules that Dani had put in place.
After all, she never asked...

All the while, The newly reconstructed Nemesis was just making the climb that Dani just made, chasing after the Woman who tried to kill him.

 

[mcpop9]

Dani nodded. "Got it." she said and walked over to the room. Getting inside, she went over to the console and began to look over it."Viscus, as soon as you can, shut the blast doors leading into the room. We need to buy as much time as we can until the weapons can be rebooted." She said to him, pulling the main lever and turning on the reactor.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Dani

[sub][Internal Monolog: Hook, Line and Stinker][/sub]
"Understood, closing blast doors."

Viscus said as the blast doors slowly closed, He was certain some of the Larger BOWs would still be able to break though, given the sharp claws most of them had.
As the reactor turned on, the huge racket it made alerted every single BOW in the complex and within the minute, they were already trying to break down the door.

"The second the weapons are back online, I can purge the lab. However, be careful. It seems the activation of the reactor has startled the BOW presence in the area and you are, both literally and figuratively, Basically Naked. I didn't allow you to use my services for you to die."

He stated, all the while watching as the Nemesis attempted to climb the shaft, all the while being hindered by Kipepeo's racing out in their hundreds towards the massive noise.

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Slindis

Slindis noticed that Rugal had decided to stay in the fight with another machine, and the two easily fought off some that had gotten hear the ship as they made their way onwards to Teri and Melethia. Although Rugal had called out that he was alive, but Slindis knew that it was likely that they would not believe it until seeing it in person.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Slindis

Rugal was still testing the full combat capabilities of his new Mech, using basic punches and kicks on some incoming ships to devastating effect.
Catching up to Slin, he joked "I know I said I couldn't take space, but then I remembered: I'm a notorious liar!".
Being able to fully control his mech's movements allowed him to use several powerful attacks like the Hurricane Kick and the Shoryuken, GREATLY improving his combat skills.

 

[mcpop9]

"I realize that we just woke the entire neighborhood now." She said checking her ammo. "Ok, two clips left, not counting the one already in the M4..." She Took aim at the doorway, waiting for something to break through. "Well, Viscus, a warning would have been nice. Just get those damn weapons online asap." she said, rreadying herself.
