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

[Orinon]

Dillon saw the elemental and had his own plan.
"Hey jerk wad! He shouted at the angel with the lighter, the angel turned and saw a golden sword being hurled at him; he had to duck to avoid getting speared. The angel looked back but the boy had disappeared from his line of sight.
He got ready to flick the lighter when he was suddenly engulfed in water. Dillon suddenly appeared behind him with Excalibur back in his hand.
"Teamwork alright!" he shouted the angel was unable to flick his lighter Dillon didn?t want to kick the angel out of the water he swung his sword knocking the lighter out of the angels hand, he then hurried and scooped it up.

The stella bot sighed then chased after him. "Phoenix, wait. You're free to go, but will you atleast allow me to put stella's memories into this bot and give her to you for assisting purposes." She asked him. "I promise she'll be just like when she was alive, minus her vampire tendencies." The face was sincere as well as the tone of the voice. "I can also make you a face you can wear like a mask so you can go out in public without having to worry about our appearance."

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

Rugal looked at Slindis before looking at the Mad Angel.
"OH SHI-" He said as he attempted to get out of the way, getting blindsided by an Angel in the process and falling down.
Oh this is going to be painful... He thought as Squishy and Dillon went to stop him.
It was touch and go, but the pair of them managed to prevent an inferno.
Picking himself up and realizing the threat was over, he shouted "GOOD ONE! REGROUP WHEN YOU CAN!"
Giving himself a self check, something else very important came up on the agenda: "Slindis, please tell me this stuff washes off..."

Melethia

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The Male Angel shouted as he opened fire on Melethia.
.....
She looked at herself and then at the wall behind her, now riddled in holes, his shaky nerves resulted in him missing every single shot.
"....Look, I don't really care about you guys, but if you can show me the way to the control panel to the cells, I will show you a way out. This is a one time offer. Do you accept?"
After punching her friend in the face, the Female Angel asked "And how the hell do we know we can trust you? What with this being a WARZONE and all and I'm pretty certain you weren't on our side..."
Suddenly, the fact she racked up such a kill count in her mech could possibly come back to bite her.

Phoenix Nemesis

While he was unhappy with her intentions, Phoenix's anger was mellowed by her offer, especially having Stella back.
Looking at his hands, it was clear he was going to need more then just a mask to pass for human.
Still, He accepted her offer for both the Stella Bot and a Mask, though the second he could, he was going to sue the pants of this damn company for all the trouble it caused him.

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

Teri let out a whoop of joy when she saw her ever faithful water elemental prevent a disaster in tandem with Dillon; [color=0E59E4]

"That's how you do it! Great job, Squishy! I'll make sure to clean you up when you get back!"

[/color]

As for the water elemental in question, it blubbered a thanks to Dillon in Aquan, and began to attack whatever Angels he could manage before his time ran out.

Garm, with blood on his jaws, gave a fierce growl to whatever Angels dare neared; his hackles rising to show just how wrong it would be to try to near his Pup...

Angelus, Caim, Cutie Bruisers, Devon

Angelus listened to Tajuh's observations with a thought, and blasted another Angel with a homing shot before speaking, "It has been some time since I have seen Dillon, and I do remember him being a rash, hot blooded idiot.. Rather like that rash, hot blooded fool with the polearm over there. I have seen men conduct themselves in similar manners, Caim being a prime example at the time."

She was reminded distinctly of the period of time they experienced the group of monsters that ravaged humanity; and when she had to reel Caim in from killing Inuart; whom at the time was allied with them for the sake of the world. Of course, Caim had every right to want to kill Inuart; but that did not bar the fact that they needed whatever power they could garner at the time.

"He's gotten better, mind you, but the principle remains. Grudges are not so easily set aside, even in adversity. However, as I trust you, Tajuh, I will heed your word about Dillon leading the ship. Instability follows him like moths to flame... But I will not pass final judgement on his character until I have seen his actions for myself. Is that not fair enough for you?"

---

Cadolbolg croaked a thanks to Devon for the save, and in an attempt to repay the favor, blasted lightning pasted Dillon's ear when an Angel attempted to stab the bard in the back. This was followed up by Ton Ton running up the Angel's back and jabbing the Knife into the man's neck, causing a spurt of blood to fill the air before the Angel had time to think.

"Thank you, friend Devon!"

[color=15650D]"We got your back too!"[/color]

 

[Orinon]

Dillon re-entered the fray. He slashed at the angels, cutting through any armour they had, his attacks were fluid following each strike with another, and he found himself close to Rugal who had just enquired if the grease stained.
"You know that wouldn't be a big deal if you didn?t insist on wearing an expensive suit to a fight."
He then used his word to splash grease into the eyes of n angel, but doing so reminded him of a long time ago where he had viciously used a similar tactic he shook his head trying to dispel the memory.
He then kicked the blinded angel who stumbled backwards and fell, right in front of the dire wolf.
"Enjoy" he told the wolf before seeking out another target.
Rugal then noticed the lighter Dillon took from the angel in Dillon's jacket pocket.

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

Slindis continued to strafe around the grease, knocking them into it while it still stayed there. Although it would stay there for only a couple minutes at best, she had to make use of it while she could. It was unfortunate that it would not last any longer before vanishing into the ether, but it was still a useful tool.

[color=c20000]"Rugal, I will clean those myself if you've an issue with the grease when we leave here."[/color] She failed to mention that it would be off his clothes by that time, but the less said about the grease in front of the crazed angels, the better.

As for Lupito, he pounced on the angel's head, crushing it with his sheer weight. He could still smell that odd taint on them, and he was not about to allow that to enter his mouth.

Melethia

Melethbia shrugged. "Who said you had to trust me? Look at it this way: one of us knows the way out of here, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to die here. If you don't want my help, though, I'll be more than glad to leave you guys in here until that door breaks down."

As she let that sink in, she grabbed a small grappling hook and got it firmly caught in the vent, making it clear that she wasn't all too concerned about the angels in there.

Angelus, Caim, Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Tajuh

Tajuh nodded at Angelus' statement. "Thank you for listening to the information and opinion that I had to give you. In the end, it's your choice as to what happens with the man, Angelus. After all, I've got the feeling that I'm going to be called somewhere else as soon as the business here is finished."

Devon was definitely startled by the lightning blast passing by his ear, only to see the blood spurting from the Angel's neck. "Wow, that was close... Thanks, guys. I appreciate that." He swung wildly with the axe, and if Caim turned back, he would see that the axe would not help the bard get any better in a fight. It wasn't a matter of strength, but it was a matter of how his body moved. He needed to focus more on something that rewarded quick movements, not something that punished them.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

"No, it's alright, it's Dry Clean only." Rugal said as he advanced deeper down the hallway, taking a moment to shake some off of the grease off his hand before wiping it off on one of the dead.
"To answer your question Dillon, it's a comfort. Like a lucky charm of sorts, I just seem to fight better in it, believe me I checked." He answered as he used his short sword more like a large knife.

Melethia

Looking at each other, the Angels shrugged and the woman said "....Down the hall back there to the right. Just make it quick, That door could break at any second..."
She then motioned for Melethia to go as the door banged again, causing her to train her sights on it, beads of sweat running down her head.

 

[bluerocker]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

Garm snapped at another Angel that edged too close to the Cleric, and with Lupito in tow, the wolves were able to edge Teri closer to Slindis and Rugal; allowing them to be bathed in her aura and heal up some of the damage.

Squishy, on the other hand, had found his time was up; and burbled to his master, "My time has ended here. Call me again, should I be needed."

and slammed into another Angel before the water that constituted his form became still and lifeless.

Angelus, Caim, Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Tajuh

Caim took note of Devon's flailing attempts at using his Axe, and after cutting down another Angel, he allowed Windsinger to re-enter the Wheel; pulling out Injustice in its stead. After making his way to Devon, he said,

"Use this, for now. That axe is too heavy for your 'style'... For now. I'll teach you how to properly wield that thing when we get back to the Dawn."

Even though the warrior's face remained still, Devon could sense a hint of care in his eyes. Perhaps Devon reminded Caim of the rookies in the army? Regardless, after Caim made sure Devon had Injustice as the ready, he turned around and readied himself for any other Angels approaching.

 

[Orinon]

Dillon, not one to lose an opportunity attacked the angel the water elemental splashed. The angel realized he was in a fight he couldn't win, the fiorst and possibly main problem was the boy was just too fast, the strikes came too quickly for the angel to effectively gu=ard, when he did apparently it was too soon because DIllon would then slap his weapons away, leaving him open. Dillon was intenbse in the fight but paying attention to his surroundings as well. He suddenly notced an angel was very silently sneaking up on slindis DIllon first thought to sout at Slindis but a better strategy came to him, he got more aggresive on the angels he was fighting knocking the wepons out of it's hands.
he then delivered a heavy kick forcing it to stumble back, and fall over a bit behind the angel who was still creeping up on slindis.
SLindis heard the soundbehind her she was abl;e to learn an enemy was approcaching at the last moment she pre-emptively struck out at him, the blow caused him to stumble backwards and trip over the prone angel she looked at that then saw Dillon who gave her a small wink.

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

The gap in the action allowed the group some time to search the area and hopefully make some headway to fixing this madness, and Slindis took a moment to ensure that the group didn't take any serious damage. Once she was satisfied with the check, she led the rear of the group to ensure that they weren't attacked form behind. After all, they were in enemy territory, and there was no knowing what would happen next.

Melethia

Melethia looked down at the angels and lowered a second rope for them. "You want to get outta this alive, don't ya? Come on up! There's more than enough room up here for all of you, and for some reason, the fans are down. It'll be a bit warm, but it's better than dyin'." The angels hesitantly climbed up into the vent to find there was mote than enough room for them to move around, and she gestured back the way she came. "You let the people that aren't angels know that Melethia gave the okay, and they won't attack you."She quickly made her way through the vents, getting to the room the Angels talked about without too much trouble.

Angelus, Caim, Cutie Bruisers, Devon, Tajuh

The Bard held the sword in his hand and felt that the blade was calling to him. It certainly felt natural in his grip, and although the swings were still more suited for a club than a blade, Caim had certainly made the right call in handing Devon that blade. "I'll keep that training in mind, Caim, and give me your worst. No use going easy on me when whatever I'm facing won't."

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

As the grease wore off the and the threat of burning passed, our Heroes (And Villain) managed to make their way past the riot, thanks to Melethia setting off the Cell release and freeing countless captives to assist them in their struggle.
At the rate they were going, this ship would be their's within a hour or two.
That a girl... Rugal thought as the pressure was eased as the Prisoners fought the rioters, freeing the way for them to run into where Storm and the "VIP" were making their grand stand

Update to come from Shaun, sorry about this

Melethia

As they entered the vents and made it to the control room, the floodgates broke and the hall they were just in filled with murderous angels.
While they managed to get the Cells open, it was clear that the elf's squad of Angels were about to lose their shit, much like David did.
"...So how exactly are we getting out of here alive? Ain't now way we can use an escape pod without getting blasted by Micheal's forces!" One asked as they went to leave the Control room.

 

[mcpop9]

"Ok,i may also be able to create some sort device to bend light around you to cloak the rest of your body. But for the mask, you just need to come back to the core chamber with me." She said and turned around. "I promise to re-create stella's personality and if you so desire, her vampire tendencies while i measure and scan your face, ok?" she asked the massive hulk of a being.

 

[StormShaun]

Shaun, Storm-178, The VIP & everyone else.
Location: Blackhawke | VIP Cell Block 1.

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon


Further in the hallway was the stand being made by Storm and the "VIP". The main group of heroes (And one villain) could only only hear bullets most of the time, but as they drew closer they could not hear anymore bullets but the numbers in bodies only grew until they were piling on top of another where the two stood. The Spartan was covered in blood and was breathing heavily, killing that many comrades would not bode well for him in the future.

Bullet shells littered the hallway floor, and the blood splattered on the walls was dripping down.
A quiet sob could be only heard from the Spartan. "Wh ... why would ... you make me do this?" Storm said as he saw the heroes come towards him. The cloaked "VIP" stood behind Storm, shorter then most of the group, "You already know why ... now silence!" Said the young voice behind the superhuman.

The cloaked figure poked out from behind him, carrying a sword almost the same height as himself. Dillon could sense that it was the same as his holy sword except it removed the whole holy concept about it and it had a different form. "Heroes ... I should of known you would of come. Sighed the young voice but noticed Rugal and the characters made in the image of the authors. "Heroes and the avatars of idiots I see." He said and looked in front of him to the tormented warrior.

"Kill them without a word." the VIP said, and in the next second, Storm made unleashed his energy sword and slowly moved towards them. In the mind of the Spartan his thoughts were being transmitted to his AI Alpha. "Everyone he's being controlled by-" A girlish voice came from Storm's helmet but was soon shut off.

The tormented Spartan did not want to kill anyone else. Even if that person was Rugal.
The cloaked VIP would also try to stop anyone who would try to get past him with his Dark Excalibur and his powers.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon

"Oh great..." Rugal deadpanned as the Angel Spartan advanced on them, watching the energy sword.
"...Do you honestly think they you really have a chance here?....I mean, you choose now of all times to betray us?..." He said as he calmly walked forward, the sword wasn't a problem, the issue was the heavy armour, much heavier then the angels from earlier.

Still, he had that short sword that Melethia gave him so he felt better about this match up.
The Spartan attacked with he's Energy sword, connecting with Rugal's sword one.
Even if Rugal did get a hit in, he was wondering if Storm would even feel it.
Thus, they sparred and parried as an idea formed.

Phoenix Nemesis

Phoenix let out a groaning sigh as he turned back and returned to the complex, hoping she'd stay true to her word.
If not, he still knew the place like the back of his hand so he felt he could still make an escape if she did back-stab him.
So he went to the location she had set out for this "Cloak."

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk

Slindis immediately took note of the small voice calling out that the Spartan was being controlled and immediately made moves to see if she could find the one controlling him. Although she hadn't had time to get her equipment changed out, she could feel the taint of evil from a nearby blade. Taking the distraction Rugal provided, she bypassed the fight and mentally prepared herself for a fight. She noted Dillon sensing the same, and she also felt something probing at her soul and immediately fought against it fiercely. No matter what it was, she knew well that anything wanting access to her mind or soul on this ship was something that she wanted out.

Melethia

She heard the panic of the angels and snapped back at them. "You want to know how you'll get out alive? Make your own way out and maybe tell it to that guy's forces! Just sitting around and losing your heads won't change anything, but you guys will get my help as long as you help me out, and if you don't attack me back, I won't return the favor."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk

After parrying much of Storms attacks and trying to make a nick or a cut in the Spartan's power armor, Rugal was starting to get annoyed with how thick this Angel's armor was.
Then a moment of clarity.
"...Wait, what am I doing?" He asked himself before trying to go all out on the Spartan, opening up his midsection for a huge barrage of attacks.
While Storm was recoiling and getting winded from much of this, the only blood that was being spilled was from Rugal's fists hitting solid MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.
Why do I only get the thick ones? He thought as he toughed out most of the pain and at the very least stopped Storm from attacking, figuring he'd break though sooner or later.

Melethia

The Angel's grumbled as they followed the little Elf, all the while providing protection as several soldiers with Assault Rifles only knew.

 

[Orinon]

Dillon was close to her, they were near the exit when something was approaching.
"Look out!" he raised his blades into an X, getting in front of Slindis, and not a second too soon as something unseen came down and the attack that would have injured Slindis was blocked by Dillon?s blades.
"Don?t fight that feeling in your soul that?s me."
"Why are you trying to read my mind at a time like this?"
"I?m not I?m trying to resonate with you, It'll make us stronger plus I'm pretty sure it will allow you to see what I?m seeing." Dillon and the invisible enemy were fighting Dillon and the VIP were at odd advantages, the VIP was unsure how this boy could see his attacks coming, but Dillon was unable to see the VIP's stance just his weapon, however Dillon still had his speed, but he couldn?t push his attacks like he would like to, he had to make mostly counter attacks and get a few small slashes in.
"How can you see that thing?" She wanted to join the fight before the boy screwed it up but she was reluctant to join a fight where she didn?t even know what the enemy was.
"I wiled the holy sword Excalibur, but there are copies of the blade this enemy is wielding a corrupted Copy, Dark Excalibur, I can sense the word that's why I want to resonate with you."

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk

Upon hearing Dillon's request, she shook her head as she dodged another swing of the blade. [color=c20000]"Call it what you will, but I have absolutely no reason to allow you into my mind!"[/color] Upon that statement being finished, she channeled a spell into her fist and struck the VIJ with it, tearing away at the invisibility the person had.

Slindis uses 15 casts Dispel Magic and channels it through her strike! It removes ongoing spells that have been cast on a target with a DC15 to resist the dispelling. (d20 + Caster Level check, capped at a bonus of 10)

SP left: 161/266

Dillon could see from the way she was moving that she could sense the blade as well after the initial surprise, although it wasn't quite clear why. Perhaps that strong Aura of Good meant something? He could feel that his focus was improving, and being within it was increasing his reflexes and fortitude. Unfortunately for him, though, she was being incredibly stubborn with not allowing him in her mind for the Resonation.

If Rugal took a second to glance at this, he would find it slightly amusing as he knew from their talks that if Slindis didn't want someone in her mind, they didn't get in.

Melethia

The Angel group and Melethia were actually proving to work fairly well together, and they could feel that she wasn't going to drop her backing up of them the moment it got easy.

Very Important Jerk

Shaun: It was either this or we would be locked all damn night again.
Details will be edited at request

The VIJ looked on with a Smug look as Dillon and Slin tried to Dispel his cloak, least until she landed a lucky hit on time during one of his attempted attacks.

VIJ rolled a 14 on his Resist Roll (d20 + 10)

Much to his suprise, he found his invisibility fading fast all of a sudden.
WHAT?! Gah....Grrr.... He thought as his lower body became visible, revealing a casual Teenage Shirt and Jeans get up though it had a "Dark" sort of color pallet.
Before his face could be revealed, he managed to bring in a pure black Spartan Helmet into being from Darkness, much like Tomoya could, and quickly covered his head with it.
"Not Bad at all. But I have already won! STORM! GET OVER HERE!" He shouted as Storm charged to aid his slave master, throwing Rugal aside with his enhanced strength thanks to Rugal falling for his Rope a Dope.
Now aided by the Elite soldier, the VIJ liked his odds a lot better.
All he had to do was keep them busy and Tomoya would do the rest for him.

Rugal, Slindis, Garm, Teri, Lupito, Dillon, Storm, Very Important Jerk

Snip

Suddenly the Angel Elite came but Dillon wasn?t going to have his time wasted. He kept attacking the VIJ,
"Fine if you want to go it alone then keep that Spartan off my back while I handle this one."
Dillon being able to see the VIJ made the match seemingly fair But Dillon was still unnaturally faster, what?s more this angel had foolishly neglected to wear any real armour.
The fight was intense with Excalibur glowing brightly as the two resonated their souls.
"You think you can beat me with that black butter knife? I'm the wielder of the holy sword-"
The VIJ cut him off with a lunging attack; Dillon had to counter it to avoid getting skewered.
"Not bad, but try this on for size." he used Excalibur to stab but as the counter came he twisted his sword and used it to open the Jerk?s guard he then slashed him across his torso with Red Fear.
The Jerk stumbled back from the deep gash that stretched across his torso golden ichor spilled from it.
Dillon, didn?t stop he kept attacking making little nicks and cuts all over his enemies body, his eyes were intense he had dropped his attitude and was now intent on defeating this opponent.
