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

[NerfedFalcon]

Behind Liberty Prime, Mokou was still lying in a pool of her own blood, most of which had come out her neck when her head blew up. Nobody noticed that the blood seemed to be heading in reverse, back into her body, or that her head seemed to be rebuilding itself from the neck...

She stood up again, clutched her head, then saw the robot turn its arms into miniguns. She'd seen the model before, and knew it wouldn't end well for either of the two men fighting it. Unless...those cables holding up his arm look pretty unstable. I wonder if they'll burn. She crossed her arms over for a second, then pointed them upwards, one at each of the cables. The "flamethrowers" were only active for a few seconds, but it was enough.

The hydraulics caught fire and were wrecked pretty quickly, and the miniguns turned back towards the floor as they started firing. Suddenly noticing that they would lay waste to her as well - again - she ran back behind a corner. The robot started yelling again: "SABOTAGE! COWARD! COMMUNIST COWARD!" He turned around again to head after her, leaving himself wide open to Snake and Boss again...

having dealt with such powers before, so many many times, Snake didn't bat an eyelid and instead took the chance to reload his RPG.
As the Girl ran off, he fired at the glowing Cables on it's left arm, blowing it straight off.
As the Mech reacted to the shot, Snake shouted "THROW ME THE KEYCARD!" at Mokou.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

It didn't take long for Mokou to find the key card Snake was referring to and throw it across the hallway. He used it to break into the armoury, with the angry robot hot in pursuit. She didn't know if she could help any more than she already had, but followed them anyway, trying not to draw its attention. She was starting to notice the headache that followed decapitation, and really didn't want it to be redoubled.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snake caught the Card in Mid-air and made a break for the Heavy Weapons.
Liberty Prime at this time was using it's free hand to throw bombs at him.
He ran past several explosions, one of which managed to knock him down, but he kept going and was soon at the keypad.
He stuck in the card and got in before another Mini-Nike could hit.
"Come on, there has to be something here to take out that thing..."

Angelus shoved Caim ahead of her, turned around and yelled, "Get your damn sword, Caim! I'll distract it till you do."

The two men ran ahead of her to find their respective weapons, and Angelus felt a familiar feeling creep from inside of her. The fire that she once wielded was returning to her, albeit in a different way than she remembered. It ignited in her fists, and she began lobbing balls of the stuff at the robot. It didn't seem to burn the metal too much, but the impact was certainly leaving dents in it's armor.

"Don't care for red, eh? Well take a good look, tin can! I adore red. I name myself after it! Look at me, and see how I burn the very color!"

The robot was properly angered at this, "RED?! I HATE RED! BETTER DEAD THAN RED! DEATH TO THE RED PARTY!" and began to chase after Angelus; who was taking care to dodge around the robot between fireballs.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snake and Caim kept looking for firepower to combat Liberty Prime.
"DAMMIT! WHERE IS IT!?"
"Hey, this it?"
Caim turned and saw snake Holding this:

"...No...That is not it..." He answered as Snake threw it aside and picked up a 4 Barrelled Rocket Launcher; The M202A1 and Ran after Liberty Prime:

 

[Sithmorack]

Pointman had just entered the room after getting lost on a side tour. He looked at the giant robot then to the guns then to the lady mocking the robot. He thought she had a death wish but that was fine with him, he made a mad dash for the guns.

 

[bluerocker]

Angelus had noticed that as she was throwing her fire, a hint of electricity was permeating the air; almost like before a lightning strike. Potential was being built; and Angelus didn't like the idea of what would happen once it was released. Whatever it was, it allowed her to use the fire in her hands now. She lobbed another one at the robot; and was pleased to find that another sensation was taking course. "Ah! My magic returns as well..." It would be some time before it could be reached however.

Caim on the other hand, was still freverntly searching for his familiar blade, "I have no time for this... Need to help the fucking dragon, before she gets herself killed... Wait, WHAT?!" Seeing the enormous blade clatter the floor, he was dazed for a moment, and in a pulse of clarity, Caim heard,

"Master?""Master?"
Caim stopped for a moment, then reached blindly into the pile of weapons, pulling out the familiar sword of his fathers. The blue and black blade shown brilliant in the light, and Caim grinned to feel the grip in his hands once more; taking a final look to the oversized sword next to him, Caim muttered, "I'll be back for you later..." Then charged Liberty Prime.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Liberty Prime was not amused by Angelus love of all things red and made that fact known.
Before another attack could made, 4 rockets hit their mark on Liberty's back.
"I have had it with Giant. Killer. ROBOTS!" Snake shouted as fired another clip at it.

 

[bluerocker]

Caim had charged in, taking advantage of the confusion; jumped into the air, and knocked the robot back with his jump/sonic attack. Angelus was happy to see her comrades properly armed, and started letting herself a little more loose; throwing fireballs even more carelessly at the robot. The magic was building up; and she almost ready to unleash her final blow....
"A little more.... And, huzzah!"
At that point, Caim was able to, for the first time in a long time, throw three large sized fireballs at the robot; this time, the wreckage seeming to actually smell a bit bad; and Snake shot at the thing with more rockets. The three were definitely abusing the daylights out the robot.

Now Pointman, who was previously forgotten, was able to get past the mass combat, and find himself a wonderful invention called an RPG. Turning around, he aimed, and fired.

Angelus, who was unaware of Pointman's attack, motioned for the men to move out of the way; Caim dragged Snake away, who was able to get another 2 rockets in. Once they were well out of the way, Angelus breathed in deeply, and let loose the fury of dragons; a stream of scarlet fire rose from her throat; and bombarded the robot. That's when the RPG hit.

The explosion was massive, and Angelus was knocked back into the wall. Her bones were still tough, as she was dragon incarnate, but it still hurt like a *****. She was lucky, the shrapnel had avoided her. She looked to the armory, and saw Pointman with a blank expression on his face. With a shrug, he went back into the armory to find what was necessary for himself, and Angelus couldn't help but laugh. She called out,
"The two of you can come back in... Ow."

She stretched out as the two walked back in, and saw a twisted hunk of metal before them, with pieces implanted into wall all about them. Caim ran ahead and grabbed what he would start calling "Big and Nasty", then ran back to support Angelus, whose walk was a little wobbly. The impact still hurt, but she would be fine in time.
Angelus looked to the men and said, "Nicely done, all three of you." She made sure to motion to Pointman as well, but he was further in the armory.

With that, the victorious comrades went back to the armory to replenish whatever war based supplies were needed.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

After a quick medical check on Angelus for Explosion wounds, Snake Introduced himself.
"My Name is Snake, I've been sent in by the Government of the United States of America to establish friendly relations with your group and my government, They fear that you may go rouge and after seeing what you did to *That*..." He said as he pointed to the smoking ruins of Liberty Prime.
"...I can see why that is...So I know that you are Caim and you are?..." He asked Angelus as Caim got a feel for his new weapon, testing it on the Metal Walls.

 

[bluerocker]

The dragon smiled at Caim's testing swings, and the cuts left therein, "Angelus. And I assure you, unless reason is given, we don't typically take such force to objects like that. Caim on the other hand, is a little quicker to the draw than I."
Angelus rummaged around and found an assault and sniper rifle. After inspecting them, and grunting with satisfaction, she strapped them on.
"To be frank, er... Snake, I am not certain I know a good portion of the personages here. I know Caim, as he has been my ally for quite some time, and I know of a Tomoya. He is an enigmatic fellow; and he doesn't talk much. Otherwise, many of the people here are unknown to myself and Caim. You'd have to ask them yourself for information on them."
Caim had returned from testing Big 'n' Nasty, and had a sastified expression on his face. He looked over the Angelus to see if she was still hurting, and she waved him off in reassurance.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"I assure you Caim, I am fine. A little impact isn't going to kill me. You know that. Even in this form, I am still hardier than a good portion of human kind.
Caim still had a concerned expression, but held his tongue.
"If you say so, dragon." He held up the communicator and began to start delivering a message to the group that the armory was clear and ready for use.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Still, If you need Medical assistance, don't tough it out, understood?" Snake said before he went to contact Zero.

"Major, this is Snake, I've established contact, all is going well..."

As Caim used the Communicator, a Man with a British Accent came on.

[color=grey]"Roger that Snake, Tag along with the group and see if you can't talk to their leader..."[/color]

"Hello?...Who is this?..." he asked as Zero replied

[color=grey]"Hello...Now who is this?..."[/color]
"eerrrrr...Major, Caim, Caim, Major..."
[color=seagreen]"Hey! What about me? I showed you how to treat Angelus!"[/color]
[color=darkorange]"Huh....Guess we can broadcast on other Radio systems too..."[/color]

"Snake, what the hell is going on?..."
"..."

Several lengthy unskippable Codec/Radio calls later

[color=grey]"Right, you got all that down now? We are Artificial Intelligence Units on Snake's Radio, I'm Mission Control, Paramedic is a Doctor and Sigint is Tech support, got it?[/color]

Zero explained to Caim yet again.

Spoiler: Support Cast Color Code

Grey = Major Zero
Seagreen = Para-Medic
Dark Orange = Sigint
Use

 Command for all[/spoiler]

 

[bluerocker]

Caim raised an eyebrow, but decided not to ask; Angelus on the other hand, was a little quicker on the uptake:
"So several robotic personages live in your communicator? Fascinating..."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

[color=darkorange]"Well...I wouldn't say 'live', Take me for instance, if Intel is to be believed, I died in a Missile Base called Shadow Moses in 1999, Your just talking to me as pieced together by people who rooted though my life's story, High School Files, Audio from missions I was involved in, stuff like that, Still, We're here and that's all that matters..."[/color]

Sigint explained, his voice growing angry when talking about his death.
Snake had grabbed all his gear and changed back into his Sneaking Suit while the AI's introduced themselves.
"Right then, Time to meet the rest of your group..." he said before leaving the armoury.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Mokou was still staring at Angelus' display when she realised that the robot had been taken down. She walked into the armoury to look for a weapon for herself - using her own fire had drained her more than she'd expected. Hopefully nobody would ask too many questions about how she'd survived taking a laser to the head...

Spoiler: OOC

I'm going to be gone for a while, so if anyone thinks their character would ask something based on what they saw, you'll have to answer it yourself - try to avoid as many unnecessary words as possible, at least in Mokou's speech.

 

[bluerocker]

Angelus nodded after Signit spoke, and waited for Caim to grab whatever projectile based weaponry he wanted. She found that he only grabbed the equivalent of a magnum, and then holstered it, alongside his blade; and she saw he created a crude version of a sheath for Big n Nasty. Carrying the aptly named sword in one hand, Caim motioned for her to come along; and gave Mokou a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, given her recent injuries.

As they were leaving, Angelus sniffed the air. She found that the electricity that was charging it was gone; so their powers were probably locked away as well. She let out a sigh, and said, "A shame, I was looking forward to burning once again..."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

[color=seagreen]"So Angelus...You are a real dragon?...what's it like? sorry just all the dragon's I've seen were CGI or puppets"[/color]

Para-Medic quizzed Angelus.
***
Meanwhile, Snake and Mokou were on point.
After a few tense minutes, Snake Broke the ice: "So how did you survive that blast?..."
Mokou sighed and told Snake about the Hourai Elixir she drank over 1300 years ago, etc, etc, the same pre-made story she'd been saying since then.
"So...you Can't die?..."
"Isn't that what I just said?"
"Alright, just one thing...when you...'get killed'...did you ever get sent to a endless river full of the people you have killed?" he asked thinking about his fight with the Sorrow.
Mokou stopped walking and just stared at Snake in a way akin to "Are you serious?"
"...That's walk they all thought..." He grumbled as he entered the tram.

 

[Sithmorack]

Pointman decided to go with a rifle he had found in the armory. It looked futuristic but worked just as a regular gun did. After he had picked his rifle he went right ahead and grabbed a pistol, plus a futuristic shotgun. He went over and sat near Snake and Mokou.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snake was surprised at first, pulling his Mk22 and aiming at Pointman.
"...That's one way to get yourself shot..." He said before lowering his weapon.
"So what's your role in all this?" He asked as he waited for the Tram.
Pointman didn't answer.
"What?...You mute or something?..."
He nodded and wrote "Pointman"
"Pointman?...That a Code name?..."
