Lucieon | David |Lucretia

Luke watched with surprise as the girl launched herself at David West and knock the grown man to the ground. Perhaps she was a Darkwraith after all. But that thought soon perished when Lucretia started to shriek about her mother dying and her fathering having to die. Personally he never sympathized with parent troubles, having been raised with a warden as a mother and an absentee father. He felt more or less that people should be individualistic.

He swung the Manus Catalyst at Lucretia, not hard enough that the blow would break the scales off a Stone Dragon, as the Catalyst was perfectly able, but just enough to knock her off of David. The old wood staff connected with the side of the girl's frame and nudged her off of David West.

[color=dark gold]"Hold you actions, acts of aggression outside of your world will not be taken lightly!"[/color] Lucieon said sternly, retaining the stature he had acquired working in the Dark.

10 Klicks West of The Rising Dawn: Closing Fast

A small one person stealth jet sped toward the Rising Dawn while transmitting a signal that identified it as friendly. When the jet got close enough it pulled up steeply while releasing a man in a flight suit out of the bottom then turned to head home.

Spoiler: Pic (kind of big)

The man spread out his arms and legs in order to slow him down a lot. About 30 meters above the deck a ball of energy engulfed the man that slowed him down even further to let him land safely. He headed below deck, walking like he knew the place. He entered the canteen and everybody looked to see who the newcomer was. He removed his helmet to reveal the face of Matt Hargreave, glowing red cyber eyes and all. "Is there anything to drink before I die of thirst," Matt asked them.

AIM: M.A.N.G.O. Bruiser

[IFC YIPES SAYS HI!]

When Bruiser's mech went down the hatch and Squishy had returned to his bottle, Teri pumped a fist in the air with joy, whooping laughter echoing from the Tablet, [color=0E59E4]

"Yeah! That's what you get for fucking with a Cleric, *****! Rot in hell you purple-"

[/color]

As for the Devil himself, he got his fair share of verbal abuse from his dearest Cleric's end, his cutting in being followed by her exclamations of joy. Of course, right when he cut in was after he heard her cries of joy.

"What an asshole... Ooops, sorry love. I've got one of those idiot Neo-Archangels down here."

With a big grin, the girl replied, [color=0E59E4]"Nah, I understand. No offense, but those guys are a royal bag of dicks. And you too Lord, I'm sorry, but they really are!"[/color]

Wiping her brow with a sleeve, the Cleric continued, [color=0E59E4]"Man, after this is all over, I'll be looking forward to that date!"[/color]

Of course, this was right before Bruiser crawled out of the fiery pit (circumstantial puns fully intended), and a flood of panic filled the Cleric as Garm dodged around his advance, teeth growling as the group began their various tactics: Caim, a dodgeroll and a new blade prepared: Windsinger. The polearm was aligned with the winds, something Caim would hope to be of use, as well as provided him with some distance from the up-close-and-personal powerhouse. With a twirl, Caim had already managed to land a slash on the Machoke's arm, but without much effect. In his current state, it would be hard to subdue him with pain alone.

Angelus continued her regime of homing fire as well as forming a thin ring of fire around herself; snake-like appendages hissing and ready to strike should Bruiser draw too close.

Ton Ton and Cadolbolg dive bombed the Machoke, Ton Ton attempting to latch onto Bruiser's head and bring his blade into the scope of justice with the ever deadly knife. Cadolbolg, in the meantime, darted around Bruiser in an attempt to distract him. Small zaps of lighting and minute burns beginning to spread around Bruiser in order to loosen his stance or allow others to get a hit on him...

Teri? Teri gripped her wolf's fur tightly before gulping and casting Spiritual Weapon from the still wolf's back, and watched as a spectral longsword appeared to begin stabbing at Bruiser as he was being assailed at all sides. Following this, Garm charged in as well, claws and teeth at the ready to tear into flesh.

Teri casts Spiritual Weapon! At 1 round (6  seconds) per level, or in this case, 42 secconds the weapon will fight by your side, and cannot be harmed by physical means! However, it can be dispelled like other spells... 12 seconds till the next 2nd level spell can be cast

 

[Moros]

Matt stood there unfazed by the attack since he had been subjected to much worse in his life. "You know, a simple no would have sufficed. I'm gonna look anyway just to make sure. Please continue with whatever you were doing and just ignore me for the moment," Matt said as he walked past everyone to go look behind the counter.

Spoiler: @Charity Case

Changed your name I'm guessing?

AIM: M.A.N.G.O. Bruiser

[IFC YIPES SAYS HI!]

Devon turned around to the others there as Bruiser charged them and and called out the weaknesses to the rest in the group and stood besides Furiae as he focused in on the Machoke and took a deep breath before grinning as an idea came to him. "Oh God damnit, Bruiser! We won't leave until we've made sure that you're dead!/b]!" A large smoke cloud appeared, and as it vanished, there was two copies of the group there. The second group charged Bruiser with everything they had, and Bruiser could even feel the heat from Toots (Angelus) as she prepared to scorch the man with a gout of fire. With the maelstrom of the others there, it was incredibly difficult for him to tell exactly what was going on.

Devon casts Major Image! This spell functions like silent image, except that sound, smell, and thermal illusions are included in the spell effect. While concentrating, you can move the image within the range.

The image disappears when struck by an opponent unless you cause the illusion to react appropriately.

Save to determine which group is the real one: DC18.


Time before the next level 1 spell: Ready!
Time before the next level 2 spell: 12 seconds.
Time before the next level 3 spell: 30 seconds.

As the Illusions charged the Machoke, Devon called out to the others on the rings as both him and the illusionary Devon held tight to the real Furiae and the Illusionary Furiae. The Illusionary Devon began playing more music, but since it wasn't from the Real Devon, there was no added effect.

"Caim, we've got to get going to ensure that your sister lives! I know there's history between you and the Machoke, but we have to keep our priorities straight here!"

Meanwhile, the Illusionary Melethia rummaged around in her pouch for something while the Real Melethia pulled out her bow and started firing a hail of arrows at the Pokemon. "Eat this, bilge rat!"

Melethia's using Manyshot! Granted by taking 6 levels in Ranger, this feat allows Melethia to fire multiple arrows with every bow attack he makes for the next 20 seconds. The number of arrows depend on the character's base attack bonus: +12 means three arrows per attack. Since all these arrows are coming from Banshee, [http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee403/TajuhDDO/ScreenShot00024_zpsd7023695.jpg] they'll do quite the number on the Machoke.

Hagane Mess Hall: Mercy & Tajuh

Mercy paused for a moment as she took in the sights in front of her like Tajuh had suggested. It was a rather marvelous view in front of her. Under the artificial lights and pollution of MidTown, you could never, ever see the stars no matter how hard you tried. Looking at the view before her, she remained quiet for a time as the ship slowly turned and Earth came into view.

"Wooooooow!" The College girl exclaimed as she saw the blue planet from which mankind sprang forth. The sight was made even better by the fiery streaks that marked the debris' entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

"Who. Who the hell are you guys?" Mercy asked as she tried to figure out just where in the hell she was. Back when she was a aerospace major, they were just bringing International Space Station II online; The First ISS having been blown up in a freak reactor failure.

"More to the point, where the hell am I?"

 

[bluecrimson]

Hagane Mess Hall: Mercy & Tajuh

Tajuh took a moment to think before answering. "Well, you're on the Hagane which is currently docked with another space station as well. As for us, we're... How do I explain it best? You know those groups of people that usually get called to stop something before it starts? That's what we do. Fairly good at it, too. It's a shame I have to depart from here just after we got things straightened out, but I've got a good feeling I'll be called back here..." Tajuh had mistakenly described what the Mabar Guard's job was instead of what the Rising Dawn did, but with any luck, Mercy had missed the slip-up.

"Unfortunately, until that slipspace bike of yours gets fixed up, it really would be a lot safer if you stayed on this ship instead of heading on the Space Station. The people here aren't exactly the most welcome here even after what we overcame together due to some people in their members being extremely conservative. Will this be a problem, Mercy?" Tajuh held the college student's hand, trying to get her message across without having to fully explain the problems that may occur if the Striders found out about this woman that managed to get onto their station unimpeded.

 

[Generic NPC 22]

Hagane Mess Hall: Mercy & Tajuh

O[sub]o[/sub]O

That's sort of the expression that Tajuh got when she explained the situation to Mercy. Not only had she managed to break her bike on her first assignment, she had unwittingly managed to break onto a highly classified military installation in space. This.was.not.a.good.day! This was not a good day to be a bicycle courier and this was definitely not a good day to be Mercy.

"So you're telling me that I'm on a military space station with a bunch of security freaks that'll blow my head off just for being here?!?" She questioned loudly, gesticulating with her arms wildly in the air, a drumstick in her right hand.

"Ican'tbelievethisishappeningtome. Ican'tbelievethisishappeningtome. Ican'tbelievethisishappeningtome." The red haired woman said, so very close to passing out due to hyperventilation.

"Why me?" She moaned, swaying a bit from the lack of oxygen to her brain and the stress her body was undergoing at that very moment.

"Wait! Wait! I know!" She exclaimed as she pushed a button on the bracelet she was wearing, causing a ghostly projection to appear in front of her.

"I just need to pull up a diagnostic on my bike and - WHAT?!?" She exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise and fear, at least that was the expression she had before she passed out into a bowl of mashed potatoes.

 

[bluecrimson]

Hagane Mess Hall: Mercy & Tajuh

Mercy's frantic panicking had prevented Tajuh from explaining that she was safe here, and a look at the horrid state of the slipspace bike explained the panic she felt. The fact that the Hagane's crew would be hard-pressed to fix it meant that Mercy could easily think it was ruined.

"It's almost funny how this keeps happening to me." After musing to herself, Tajuh quickly cleared off the woman's face and ensured that she hadn't mistakenly inhaled any of the potatoes in her panic. Since she was okay, she took the college student to her personal room to help her get some rest while the bike got repaired \.

I hope she recovers soon... she's not someone that should be in the Guard. Still, she's got no real connections here, and I'd rather not have her be with the Rising Dawn while that man's aiming for control over it. If I could only be here longer, I could scout out someone better for that position! Of course, even the cleric Teri Gravel would be better suited, but I'm simply lacking that time.

David West: Rising Dawn Canteen

After shaking off the shock of what just happened, David took the chance to strike while Lucretia attacked Matt.
Viciously striking the back of her head with the butt of his handgun, He them turned her around and punched her in the face before slamming it into table in a attempt to knock her out.
Before you go crying this is overkill, Melethia, a 13 year old, can bench press more then David can, he's not taking any chances!

Once he was done, he pushed her to the ground and began checking for anymore weapons on her person, keeping her held down with his larger weight though a knee on her back.
"See....THIS is why I'm retiring! First New York, then DC, Shot the woman I loved in the face after she flat out ordered a contract on my head. I do everything I can, but nothing. NOTHING! Ever is enough. Just a normal life, grow old, get a pension, NOT get attacked by children with swords that are bigger then them. IS THAT SO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK?!" He raved as Matt walked by to the bar.

Man, he is going to freak out when he finds out he assaulted his own daughter like that...

"....Matt! I'll take two of whatever you're having...I need a drink...."
Bruiser: AIM

Bruiser was flat out beat, I mean, what could he really do in a situation like this?
Caim's blade, Angelus's fire, Cadolbolg's lighting, Ton Ton landing on his head, Taking Melethia's arrows to the chest, Teri's weapon stabbing him in the chest, He lost the second he left that mech.
Worse of all, he couldn't even land a single hit before he went down thanks to the load of mirror images around him.
As a much larger explosion shook the room, he was on his knees in pain, suffering from all their attacks combined in his manner.
It was time to end this.

 

[Moros]

Matt came back with two bottles of scotch and two Old Fashioned glasses. He handed a bottle and a glass to David before sitting at a nearby empty table. "So David West, do you still work for that international police thing? If so, I was wondering if they still have a price on my head or a warrant for my arrest. Last I checked, they were pretty mad when I worked for a few dictators/warlords," Matt asked him as he poured a drink for himself.

 

[Ninjamedic]

David, Matt.

As the two began to drink, the room lit up as a beam of light shot down from the ceiling, a shape in the beam materialising as it began to dissipate.


The two could see it was Fionn, having beamed down from The Hagane.

"Well that was, convenient." He looked around the room, spotting David and Matt. "So, hows it going David?" He began to walk over to the fridge, noting the presence of the other newcomers. "So, who are you exactly? Friend of Foe?" He asked semi-jokingly as he poked his head into the fridge. "I'll have a glass too, if you don't mind".


Captcha "Moo Shoo Pork": "Nah, I'm more in the mood for beef at the moment".

 

[bluerocker]

AIM: Bruiser

"What did you mean 'after this is all over'? What are you doing? Teri? Kiddo? What's going on?"

[color=0E59E4]"I told you, we're rescuing Furiae, Caim's sister. We just hit a speed bump along the way. One moment, and I'll get back to you..."[/color]

When Bruiser fell to his knees, Teri directed the Spiritual Weapon to point at Bruiser's throat as she dismounted her wolf, forcing him to look as his assailant as she walked right up to him. Garm stuck close by her side in case the Machoke tried anything, and the staff clinked faintly as the Cleric approached. Staring into the eyes of the one who wronged her so long ago; Teri's face formed a silent growl as her Tablet began to issue her last words for the Machoke,

[color=0E59E4]

"... All this time. All this time, I've been afraid of you. I've been terrified at the thought of seeing you again. The memories of your attempt to give me a manicure left me terrified of holding people. It made me retch just touching them... But now, I wonder. Why are you scary, Brusiser? Seriously, [u]what[/u] is so scary about you? You're big, but I've seen bigger; and your tough, but there's much tougher. So, I can't think for the life of me, a good reason to think you scary at all! 

Hell, even your tactics are childish! What you do is the same as any schoolyard bully; you just overpower people weaker than you! That's not fighting, that's just using what brute strength you got; and if right this second isn't any indication; that obviously does not mean your strong. You haven't even improved. You haven't grown! You haven't changed! You're static; and it's getting you nowhere! But look at us, and what do you see? A group of people that have been through so much, we gotten stronger for it! At least, I know I have. Check this out. REPPUKEN!"

[/color]

That was when Bruiser noticed a medium blue energy crackling in her hands, and before he could do anything, a burst of said energy struck him in the chest, inciting a cough from the Pokemon.

Teri uses a Class 1 Reppuken. 12 seconds before she can use another Level 1 spell.

When the energy dissipated, Teri's sword was upon the Machoke's neck again, and she laughed, [color=0E59E4]

"And that's barely the icing on the cake! I have learned SO much since I've last seen you, and I'm got more to go. Don't you remember, Bruiser, in the chamber? I told you the difference between you and me was the fact that we're [u]still[/u] growing and improving while you stay the pathetic thing that you are! Am I will [b]not[/b] be afraid of you anymore! So, goodbye Bruiser, and say hi to Lucifer for me, will you?"

[/color]

She took a step back, the energy crackling in her hand again as her mouth opened and slowly enunciated three syllables,

[color=0E59E4]"Re...ppu...KEN!"[/color]

The last thing Bruiser saw (as the Spiritual Weapon made the use of its time left and began stabbing the Machoke), was a blinding flash of blue light.

Teri uses the Class 3 Reppuken. 12 seconds till another 3rd level spell is available.

After unleashing these attacks, Teri clung to Garm's fur and shook as she began to do something that had previously required the assistance of her Tablet; she laughed. A sorrow filled, bitter laugh that filled the air and expressed no joy in what was just done. She'd have to pray about this later...

In the meantime, Caim hurried to Teri's side and shoved her up top the wolf's back, causing a yelp of surprise from the Cleric as his PDA spouted off,

"Hate to ruin the moment kid, but we gotta go! This place is threatening to blow sky high!"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David West: Rising Dawn

With his knee still on the little girl, half expecting her to turn into a demon or something, David ignored the glass and opted to just drink from the bottle intend.
"Dude, didn't you hear? Remember that Monster Attack last summer? EATTF was wiped out, literally, the entire force, dead. All remaining resources and assets were sent to UNIT. As for your bounty, no idea. Been busy with the whole "Tomoya trying to blow up the world" thing." He snarked in-between drinks as Fionn phased in.

The Gunmage saw David restraining a 14 year old on the ground.
"...If you were here about 3 minutes earlier, you'd know why...." He said, still wondering what set her off like that.

Goenitz: Hell

[color=006566]"...Were you really not paying attention? I free you and help you escape so you can do whatever to that young girl and you keep tabs on the Rising Dawn for me! Not exactly Rocket Science, is it? Favor for a Favor, unless you'd rather I personally spy on them.
Or shall I have HER be my eyes and ears?..."[/color] The Wind Angel taunted as he jangled the key closer to his cell.
[color=006566]"Even if you get out of the cell, you'll need my help to escape, they really rejigged the guard patterns this time around..."[/color]

AIM: Bruiser

The last hit was enough to knock the beast down for hopefully the last time, Bruiser's body going limp after his apparent demise.
It was over, even if he did live, his ego wouldn't, Bruiser would never do to anyone what he did to Jenny, To Angelus, To the Author herself.
She had won.
But none of that would matter unless they got the hell out of there before the entire Ammunition stockade below their feet went off!!
The Explosions got louder and Louder as the room shook more and more, Smoke now starting to become a major concern as blank plumes of the stuff began to choke the air around them.

 

[StormShaun]

Storm-178 (and

Alpha

).
Location: Rising Dawn | 17th Wing | Oceanic.
Time: 4Pm

Storm had just spend a couple of minutes messing around with Alpha, she never liked it when he turns lazy or teases her mental weak spots. The two left the room quickly after the Spartan moaned about not having food for several days. "Ah, some good food would really cheer me up." He said as the un-average human and the small hovering AI entered the canteen but immediately heard a phrase which scratched at Storm's soul.

"Tomoya trying to blow up the world" David said. Afterwards Storm turned around in not less then a blink and walked out with a depressed aura surrounding him, his eyes looked down to the ground as if the coldness of the metal had flooded into him. "

[color=navyblue]What's wrong?[/color]

" Alpha said in a unusual gentle voice which bought back Storm in an instance. And once more the smiling Spartan walked on, though Alpha was confused with his situation, even though she was the closest thing to him.

"This place has a dojo right? Hopefully they supply metal dummies." He said as the two began to walk to the ship's dojo.

 

[Moros]

"I remember the Monster Attack I just didn't know they were wiped out. I'm glad I don't have to worry about UNIT since they mostly deal with aliens and the Doctor," Matt said as he drank. "So who's the guy that just beamed in like he's from Star Trek?" Matt asked after Fionn appeared.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David West: Rising Dawn

"Oh right, Fionn, Matt. Matt, Fionn. Joined up with us about a few weeks ago before the whole "Angel Wars" thing." David explained as he took some more of his drink and knocked it back.
"Best shot you'll ever see, better then mine if I'm truly honest..." He admitted, not really caring for his status as a Pro Sniper anymore.

 

[Ninjamedic]

"...If you were here about 3 minutes earlier, you'd know why...."

"What? Another apocalypse? It was more poignant the first time", Fionn busied himself looking at all of the meats available, "Hmm, some american bacon, Irish bacon, a little beef, some chicken....." He began picking up cuts for his ultimate sandwich. As he continued to plunder the fridge, David could smell the aroma of meat frying, but he wasn't cooking anything......

"So who's the guy that just beamed in like he's from Star Trek?"

"Another person stupid enough to actually stay around here", Fionn snarked as he grabbed a jar of sliced pickles. The two could see the energies still crackling off his left hand, they dissipated after Fionn realised the chaotic aura was still there. "I need a day off." he muttered as he finished assembling his footlong.

 

[bluecrimson]

AIM: Bruiser

As the explosions got closer, Devon called out to the others there as he grabbed Furiae's hand. "Grab on to someone else, people, and brace yourselves. I'm getting us out of here!" Once everyone held tight, Devon finished the movements with his free hand to get them onto the boat of the delivery guy that was just arriving there. Although the group was sore from the teleport, they had gotten out safely.

Devon Casts Dimension Door to get everyone out of the complex! Since it's a bit beyond the normal limit, the group takes a little bit of damage from the teleport, but it's nothing they can't walk off.

Devon looked at the poor college student holding the Garlic Bread, Cookies, 4 Seasons Pizza, Protein Shakes, and gallon of chocolate milk [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/540.101127.16716216] and looked down to Melethia sitting on the deck of the boat next to him and sheepishly laughed. "I hate to ask, Melethia, but could you spot us here? I promise to pay you back later, but I'm starving right now!"

Melethia smelled the rather delicious looking food and shrugged, pulling out 20 pieces of gold that would easily sell for $6,000. "Keep the change, Mister! Thanks for bringin' the food." Said delivery guy's eyes opened wide, but the fact that he was going to make a shitload of cash from selling this when he got back home made it extremely easy to overlook the fact that he was delivering it to someone different than the person that had been on the phone.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

Rugal was wounded by how cold she seemed to be about it, though he guessed it was better then them leaving on worse terms.
"....I understand...I do truly love you. My words are often misleading, but know I mean those ones." He said before leaving, Slindis shunning off one last kiss.
Thus, he made his way to the teleporter, stopping only to clean off some "Leaking" from his eyeless sockets, and punched in the code for AIM's location...

AIM: X_X

He soon reappeared on the island not far from the main entrance.
"-Great...Back to the daily gri-.....Is that smoke?....." He said to himself as he stood next to the burning lab.

Out on the boat, the victory feast was interrupted by a massive skyward scream of sheer rage.
"THOSE MORONS! I LEAVE THEM IN CHARGE FOR A FEW WEEKS! OH WHEN I FIND THEM, I AM GOING TO TEAR THEIR FUCKING ANKLES OFF! I'LL GRIND THEIR BONES INTO DUST! THEY WILL RULE THE DAY THEY FAILED RUGAL BERNSTEIN!"
