???

A boy around the age of 17 or 18 was running for his life. He had been running away from the men in the grey suits. As he ran down the completely white hallway he could hear the walls whisper to him "Incompetent... Disgrace... Failure..." He was scared, tired, and lonely. He then rounded a corner to see two men in grey standing there. Their blank soulless stares scaring him even more. The boy then charged at them and tackled one to the ground. Grabbing him by the head and then twisting as hard as he could hearing a satisfying 'POP' as the mans neck snapped. He turned around only to see the man life the butt of his gun and hit him squarely in the head....

Just outside the school
Shadow

Shadow sat upwards with a start. He swore as he realized he was not wearing his regular outfit. he appeared to be wearing a Orange hoodie. His hood pulled over his head, and he was wearing jeans.

Spoiler: Hoodie

Lucky for him his hood covered most of his head and what it didnt cover it shrouded the rest in shadow.

He slowly rose up to see that Taytum was lying on the ground several feet away dressed in a school uniform. Thats when he realized something...

He looked down at his hands to see that they look... younger?

Shadow had no clue what was going on, but he was going to find out soon enough. He assumed that one of the crew members of the Rising Dawn were somewhere around here, and that they could help him understand what was going on.

That was when Shadow shook Taytum to wake her and and then helped her to her feet. "[color=915C83]Master where are we?[/color]" She asked as Shadow looked at his surroundings.

He noted that he was literally on school grounds, before turning around and replying "I don't know...."

The Headmaster's Office: Angelus | Caim | Devon | Ella | Lucifer | Rugal | Slindis | Teri

Slindis turned to those there. [color=c200]"No matter our choice, we won't be figuring out anything by just standing around in here. It is possible that it could be a female, but we need to keep out minds open. Just don't do anything drastic without communicating with the others - a false move will tip him off. If he cares more about the communications, the creative center has to be a student."[/color] With that, she opened the door and led the others outside.

When they got out, she looked over to Rugal. [color=c200]"I know this sounds insane, but there's not much we can do but work through it. If it helps you, you at least have allies that aren't looking for a moment of weakness now."[/color]

As Devon walked out with Ella, he turned to Teri. "Just curious, do you know any way to make some communication path between me and Ella here? I know she'll be joining me with Ton-Ton and Cadolbolg, but it would help if we could talk more."

Home and Careers Class of Horrrrrors: Aftan | C.C. | Cadolbolg | David | Kalastryn | Kenneth | Lucieon | Lucretia | Matt | Maya | Melethia | Puce | Ton Ton

Melethia fired around Cadolbolg, spreading much discord in the ranks from David's second sonic blast and the others dropping around them. Thanks to her moving between two vents, it kept the strikers from pinpointing her exact position.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

Rugal smirked slightly at Slindis's comment, recalling the days when his allies would shank him to death at any given moment.
"Still...At least then all I had to worry about then was myself..." He said afterwards, shooting a quick smile at the drow.
He then turned to Teri and Devon and said "You two get back to Class, the target might be a student so keep an eye out. We'll check out the staff. Everyone report anything you find." He said to the others, trying to think if he saw anything that might have been this Source of Creativity.

David

"Back-up Plan!? This IS the back-up plan! You expected me to be prepared for this!?" David shouted over the sonic blasts as he did his best to stop them from entering.
"Here, take my gun. I got these new ones." He then said before giving Ton Ton his fabled M500, something that would be extremely out of character for the sniper.

The poor saps with guns were affected the most by Cadolbolg's lighting while Melethia's attacks managed to get several that were trying to flee.
It was then that they saw a few more with thicker body armor and what appeared to be Stun Rods.

All the gunfire and Sonic Booms could be heard by Shadow, someone was having fun...

Jenny

All the while, Jenny watched as Kura attempted to make her contraption work, nodding off slightly in the process.
"Kura, is it done yet?..." she yawned, wondering what the others were doing.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

Shadow smiled as he began walking towards the sound of gunfire. That was when he realized he was missing something...

"MY GUN!!!" Shadow shouted as he looked around for a second. After a few seconds of searching he saw it on the ground..

His beloved 50 cal Beretta Explosive Tip sniper rifle. He quickly picked it up and strapped it around his back as he told Taytum to transform into gun mode. He quickly grabbed her and headed towards the sounds of battle.

30 seconds later

Shadow rounded a corner to see multiple people fighting including his favorite crazed gunman (as he liked to call him).

He quickly pulled out his sniper and made a couple of the enemies heads explode as he shot them.

Transiting OUT of The Headmaster's Office and To A Hallway: Angelus | Caim | Devon | Ella | Rugal | Slindis | Teri

As Devon walked out with Ella, he turned to Teri. "Just curious, do you know any way to make some communication path between me and Ella here? I know she'll be joining me with Ton-Ton and Cadolbolg, but it would help if we could talk more."

Giving a wave to the adults as the teachers left, Teri looked to her amulet for a moment, and said, [color=0E59E4]"Right at the moment, I can think of two different things. One, I need to remember how my DM homebrewed a pair of trinkets just like that or ask Luci how he made this one... When should I ask him, I wonder.... If he's with the Boss at the moment, then I wouldn't want to interrupt that... And which class do we have again, Devon? I got so caught up in all this stuff, I completely forgot..."[/color]

In the meantime, the teachers walked along the way, and a loud gurgle was heard among them. Having fought many forms of creatures, the group was on edge.... till they realized the noise was coming from Caim's stomach. With a laugh, Angelus spoke up, "Caim's stomach brings up a good point. There's no use sitting around wondering while we're hungry. Shall we?"

Home and Careers Class of Horrrrrors: Aftan | C.C. | Cadolbolg | David | Kalastryn | Kenneth | Lucieon | Lucretia | Matt | Maya | Melethia | Puce | Ton Ton

Ton Ton looked at the weapon with confusion, or at least, as best a blank faced creature as a Tonberry could manage looking confused, and shouted, [color=15650D]"I appreciate the offer, sir, but I don't know how to use this thing! I don't want to hurt anyone by misfiring!"[/color]

"JUST POINT IT AND SHOOT AT SOMEONE'S WHO NOT US!"

[color=15650D]"Uh.... Okay?!"[/color]

And so the Tonberry found himself pointing the, to his small stature, what equated to a cannon at the door, and readied a shot at the door, shooting a hole in it in the process; as well as making him nearly drop it due to the kickback. The Tonberry was very terrified at firing again, as he did not feel the same level of control over this weapon as he did his usual arsenal.

[color=15650D]"What did he just hand me?!"[/color]

Cadolbolg, on the other hand, dropped down from the vent, and decided to draw fire away from the trap master via flying in the air and shooting fire at the troops in the thicker body armor. Hopefully, his flames would melt whatever material the stuff was made of. At least, that's what Dragon fire did, right? Or was that just because of his Mother being as fully grown as she was?

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Slindis, Caim, ANgelus

Rugal smirked slightly at Slindis's comment, recalling the days when his allies would shank him to death at any given moment.
"Still...At least then all I had to worry about then was myself..." He said afterwards, shooting a quick smile at the drow.
He then turned to Teri and Devon and said "You two get back to Class, the target might be a student so keep an eye out. We'll check out the staff. Everyone report anything you find." He said to the others, trying to think if he saw anything that might have been this Source of Creativity.

Slindis noted Caim's hunger and nodded in agreement. [color=c200]"We should all get something to eat, that much is true. Unfortunately, it seems that first year teachers have to eat with the rest of the students, so we won't likely get any peace. Still, if we want to get there before it gets too packed, we should go now."[/color] To be honest, she'd needed some food as well. She just wasn't about to point it out to everyone else.

Melethia, Cadolbolg, Shadow

Her next arrows nearly missed Shadow as she aimed for the small gaps in the body armor that she could find, although her attacks weren't quite as effective due to having to take a bit more time loosing the arrows. They still felt the burn from the Holy on the arrows and the unusually sharp nature of the arrows, though, and that was almost worse than the arrows themselves.

Doing good out there, Turtleback. We'll draw out the guy leading them in no time, and then we can gut him.

Devon, Teri, Ella

Devon thought about for it for a moment, finally coming to a conclusion. "I do have one idea... What about using the Message spell over some necklaces or rings? In any case, our next class is... home and careers? Really? I think I'll head to Applied Food and Nutrition instead. What about you? I know me and Ella need a bite to eat."

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow, Melethia, Cadolbolg

Shadow was nearly hit by the incoming arrows and that alone was enough to piss him off.

"HEY FUCKTARDS! IM ON YOUR SIDE!" he shouted as he took cover to dodge some bullets heading his way.

He then leaned back out of cover, and shot a few more rounds before retreating a bit to where he could try to take cover from everyone.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

"I'll pass. I've heard too many jokes about how bad the food in High Schools are to be on the receiving end of the punchline." Rugal said to the others as they went down to the canteen.
Sticking by those words, he elected to have another glass of water instead.

David

Without taking his aim off the door for a second, David pulled Ton Ton off the ground by his hood and planted him back behind cover.
He then picked up the gun, shoved it back in his hands and gave him a pat on the head, all without having his eye's stray from the doorway.

Gangland Goons

The re-enforcements would need some re-enforcements as the combined effort of Melethia, Cadolobolg and Shadow managed to decimate their numbers, leaving the hallway a massive bloody mess.
It was only supposed to be a 3 hour mission, a 3 hour mission!
It would seem that they won...

 

[bluerocker]

Angelus | Caim | Rugal | Slindis

Caim shrugged at the sentiment as they walked along, his nonchalance showing through, even in his computerized 'voice',

"Can't be much worse than what we were served in the barracks."

Angleus gave one of her trademark "Hmphs!" and shook her head, "Perhaps it will actually be cooked thoroughly this time around, instead of raw hunks of meat that your bodies could not handle..."

Without meaning to, the dragon turned human could already feel hunger churning in her stomach as well, and licked her lips in anticipation of something, anything to feast upon. To an ongoing looker, it certainly wasn't a human way to express ones' self.

Devon | Ella | Teri

Teri looked hesitant to follow Devon, seeing as her father had specifically told her to go the class, as well as the mission of finding Mark's Creative Center or whatever it was. With a small shake of her head, she pointed towards the class' direction, or at least what she thought was the direction of the class,

[color=0E59E4]"I can eat later. Right now, I'm looking for the you-know-what in the classes. You go on ahead if you want, but I can poof myself something if I get that hungry. Later!"[/color]

And with that, she began to make her way to class, Devon and Ella following behind out of a want to watch their friend's back.

Ton Ton | David

When David put the gun back in Ton Ton's hands, the little creature felt very sheepish, and called out, [color=15650D]"Sorry! I've never used this kind of weapon before... Perhaps when this is over, I can get proper instruction from you, should this come up again! Now, where should I position myself with it? Maybe over... Here!"[/color]

Leaping up on a desk with the Revolver in tow, Ton Ton found that his ability to aim higher was a lot easier when he had a similar height to the enemies he was combating....

Cadolbolg | Melethia | Shadow

"Thank you, Friend Melethia! Now, should I hide in the vent again, or would staying out here work better for our strategy?"

Looking back to Shadow, Ton Ton tilted his head in interest, "I think I have seen you before with my Mother and Father.... Who are you, Acquaintance....?"

Aftan | C.C. | Cadolbolg | David | Devon | Ella | Kalastryn | Kenneth | Lucieon | Lucretia | Matt | Maya | Melethia | Miku | Puce | Sadei | Sean | Teri | Ton Ton

It was an unconscious movement. His arms fell around C.C.'s waist as she took the shrapnel to her back and caught her before she hit the ground. His hands, still lukewarm with the essence of humanity splashed into the warmth of her blood, cooling in the air and in her clothes. Lucieon was shocked, almost unable to think. The attack was so sudden and the deafening explosions of the rifles hurt his ears and mind. He was unaccustomed to such means of warfare, they were very different from the sword and sorcery he experienced in his homeland. Unable to think, he tugged C.C. with him onto the floor, away from the men flinging death from rifles. The rest of the group took to the fight valiantly, raising weapons of their own and striking out at the enemies with great fervor and emotion.

Yer Lucieon could not find it in his heart to stand up and fight. He held C.C. in his hands and watched the blood flow from her wounds. Years of contemporary medical knowledge failed him, all of his expertise seemed to have been swallowed by the excitement in the air. He whispered again, [color=dark gold]"Are you okay?"[/color] but this time did not wait for the answer. His hands fell upon her clothes and tore open the bloodstained circles, exposing the shrapnel wounds to the open air. He closed his eyes and ran a finger over her skin to check for metal debris. A short gasp escaped C.C. when his fingers drew blood from some of the fresh cuts. [color=dark gold]"No, you are not okay. Not this time."[/color]

He pulled out his sorcerer's catalyst and pressed it lightly against C.C.'s skin. [color=dark gold]"Remedy,"[/color] a soft blue glow spread across the wounds and stopped the bleeding. It did not coagulate the blood, nor did it heal the wound. It only cured the symptoms of the injury. They pain, the muscle tension, and the bleeding. It would have to do until she got proper medical attention and could have the shrapnel removed. If she was a firekeeper, it would have been easy to remedy her with his Estus Flask, with its beautiful golden substance that pulled the power directly from a bonfire's many burning souls. But if she were not a firekeeper and merely a pyromancer, the effect would turn her undead, like him. Forever bound to wander the earth collecting humanity so that they would not become insane.

He placed both hands on C.C.'s head and pulled her close to him, hiding her body under his own. Her warmth was still soft and warm even in the chaos flying around them. He had to protect this one. He was afraid of this one, yet he felt so compelled to hold her close so that no further harm could come.

Caim shrugged at the sentiment as they walked along, his nonchalance showing through, even in his computerized 'voice',

"Can't be much worse than what we were served in the barracks."

You shouldn't have said that, Caim...

The food being served that day was much less impressive than expected, to say the least. It was the perfect dieting food, though, since with how it tasted, nobody would ever holding it down. [color=c20000]"Do you have something that's actually palatable? Edible? Consumable by anything?"[/color]

Spoiler: Here's your lunch today, people!

She doubted that even her fortitude could handle such an appalling meal, and from the horrid smell, she doubted it was very healthy.

Devon | Ella | Teri

Devon saw the last of the first wave of attacks, although he heard the plodding of steps down the hallway. It wasn't quite clear what had happened, but after he asked Cadolbolg, he drew his shortsword for the defense. He also thought of ways to misdirect what was coming as well, eventually settling on one fairly good option.

Ella brought her Kamas forth from the Weapon wheel and began flying to back up Devon in the attack.

Cadolbolg | Melethia | Shadow



Melethia called to Cadolbolg. "When the boss comes, we strike. Aim for the joints: that should slow him down a lot.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Angelus | Caim | Rugal | Slindis

One glance at the "Food" and Rugal felt he made the right choice, the sound of him sipping through a straw providing ambient noise at they literally picked their poison.
"As a man who has actually eaten out of a dumpster once...This looks awfully familiar..." He quipped as he went looking for a vending machine, taking his chances there after then this deep fried excuse.

Gangland Mooks

The steps got closer and closer as the ringleader for this attack showed himself, a mountain of yellow flesh turning the corner holding several disposable RPG-7s.

"You. Pay. Now. *****!" He shouted as he attempted to go though the others to reach their Janitor of a teacher.

David

David meanwhile peeked through the doorframe and saw the hulking beast.
"...I hate this school..." He sighed as he went to see if he had anymore of those Sonic Boom Vials left.

 

[bluecrimson]

Angelus | Caim | Rugal | Slindis

Unfortunately, the school had removed their vending machines years ago to promote healthier eating. Not that their food was much better... Rugal could see Slindis eating some jerky at one of the tables and taking a swig from that waterskin she'd used when they were tracking down the flower.

[color=c20000]"There's no way those kids are fed right..."[/color]

Gangland Mooks

When Devon saw the overwhelming man, he instantly chanted a spell. "You think we would come alone? You are mistaken, you overgrown ape.

After he finished his statement, there was a fog that filled the area that quickly dissipated as a very unsettling noise filled the area.

Spoiler

Devon casts Major Image! [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/majorImage.htm] Perhaps due to the nature of the image, it requires a saving throw of 19 (10 base, 3 from the spell level, 6 from the charisma modifier {23, or +6})

30 seconds until the next level 3 spell.

David

There was one of the vials left, but there was now the big issue of Teri, Ella, and Devon being in the firing range at this point.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

"I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!" Shadow shouted as he made more heads pop as he unloaded more rounds. Then he realized something....

He was out of ammo for his favorite gun.

Shadow sighed as he held Taytum in his palms. "Taytum transform" he commanded as he charged with a kick ass sword in his hand.

'Slice, slash, slice' Shadow thought as he gleefully cut down anything in his path. He then ran past a few guards an sliced the back of the giants knee hoping to slow him down. He then backed off as he took a couple bullets in the arm.

"Is anyone else having as much fun as I am?!?!" Shadow yelled out as he decapitated another human.

Gangland Elite Mook

The Giant was unfazed by the sudden increase in their numbers, he'd ate babies before and this time they would be cooked.
He brought out on of his several RPGs and pointed it at the vision of babies, though the explosion would most likely still do a lot of damage.
Before he could that however, Shadow managed to throw off his aim by cutting his knee.
He didn't like that in the slightest as he shouted "Oh, I'M GOING TO FLOSS MY TEETH WITH YOUR SPINE!" before attempting to aim at Shadow, the constant babies throwing him off.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

Shadow was having a hard time comprehending what was happening. Everything was much bigger... but yet when he sliced at them they still died just as easy.

Well that was until he happened to run back into the same giant who he slashed and didnt do that much. "Oh shit..." was all that Shadow muttered as he was sent flying through the air from a kick to the chest.

Shadow quickly got trying to quickly get out of whatever was making him see things.

 

[bluecrimson]

Gangland Elite Mook

The babies were hit by the blast, but they pooled and reformed into much larger ones that were slightly taller. In addition, when they grinned, they had very toothy jaws.

A quick message over the rings informed those that had them that this was an illusion, but to those that didn't know, they were very believable.

Heck, to those that were still in the know, it was hard to believe this was a illusion.

I think this is the last post for the night for me. I'll still be lurking, though.

 

[Moros]

While the giant was distracted something massive punched him straight through several walls. Standing where the giant was what looked like a clone of the Hulk that Ken created using a sun. Inside the copy of the Hulk was Ken himself as he controlled it. "I've been looking for a reason to test this," Ken said with a smirk.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

Shadow was so confused....

Not only was there a sea of baby things that just seemed to get bigger? Shadow also saw a huge giant possibly even bigger punch the other through a wall...

This was turning out to be strange day...

He just slowly turned a corner and then he let Taytum transform back into human form. Finally he just slumped down the wall to take a breather before Taytum sat down next to him.

Shadow then drifted off into sleep.

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

The building was cheap and falling apart. The sign had long worn off and not many people knew of its existence, even less people ever went in. It was cold inside ? the only heat came from a fireplace in the corner, the roof leaked and a draught always managed to get in, no matter how many times cracks in the walls were patched up.
Inside, Michael Woodhouse sat slumped back in his chair, the brim of his dark brown fedora over his eyes blocking the incessant yellow glow of the street lamp directly outside the window. The fire had died down to glowing orange embers, smoke slowly rising and floating up the chimney. His coffee had long ago gone cold.
"No business today?"
Detective Woodhouse woke with a start, tipping his coffee over his desk and sending his hat toppling to the floor.
Sean Hammond was hanging his coat up on the rack, a parcel tucked under his arm. Sean was six foot one, a full four inches shorter than Mike. He had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. A scar ran down the side of his face, starting just below his left eye and curving down to his jaw.
"Uh," he said, still groggy. "No ... not that I'm aware of."
He got up and went to the kitchen to get some paper towels. "What's in the box?"
"Turnips. Billy says these are pretty good ones."
Mike returned to his desk and started mopping up the coffee, getting down on one knee to get the liquid on the ground. He dropped the brown towel into the bin beside his desk and got back in his chair. His back was stiff and sore from sitting there for too long. How long had it been, anyway? He remembered light coming in through the window when he'd dozed off.
"What time is it?" he called out, not knowing where Sean had gotten off to. He fished around in his overcoat until he found his box of cigarettes and lighter, fishing them out of his pocket and putting one between his lips. The metallic clink of the lighter was always a satisfying sound to him.
"Half past one."
He stopped, glanced outside at the darkness and back towards Sean's voice. He must've been out for a while. The young man held the flame to the cigarette and puffed before clinking the lighter away again.
Feeling hungry and having not eaten in more than ten hours, he went into the kitchen and opened the fridge ? pickles and salami, a bit of questionable cheese and what was probably once coleslaw. Chinese it was, then.
He closed the fridge and headed for the phone.
