As UNIT tried to make sense of the events of the past few hours, The Base's CCTV turned and zoomed in on one of the case files, namely the Prisoner Transfer of M. Bison and the resulting attack.
Code:
"Rugal works quickly it seems...."
Viscus said before closing the link to UNIT on his way back to AIM, Bruiser failed to secure the Deathclaw, He Still couldn't get a read on the Vial that Calypso gave him and now this.
If he could still feel emotions, He would be as humans call it "Pissed".
David quickly ushered Elena out of sight and under one of the main halls staircases.
While he was glad to be able to talk, he still remembered the Suicide Trigger.
"Look...I know you want to escape, but we can't do it now. All he has to do is push the button and you're.....Again...." He said, shying short of saying "Dead".
Seeing that the man was eyeing her up like a slab of meat, she quickly moved towards the exit with her right hand next to her hip. [color=c20000]"It was a pleasure to meet you, but I really must be going now. Places to explore, people to converse with..."[/color] She used the crowd still in the area to break his line of sight to her as she drew the chill knife to defend herself. [color=c20000]Fool me once...[/color]
David soon sat next to her after checking if they were followed.
"Tsh...Like I never had to deal with pricks with their head up their ass before...Listen, Don't worry about me, I can handle whatever that jackass throws at me. In the end, all power is meaningless when at the end of my scope." He said as they watched the party below.
He managed to spot Ekou chatting up Slindis.
"...ah jeez....keep it cool, Slin..." He said, worried she might lash out at the prick and make life worse for Elena, not that he didn't deserve it.
As she walked off, David let out a sigh of relief.
"...Thatta girl..."
David wiped his eyes after they fazed out.
Once his vision returned, he sighed.
"...Christ, that will get annoying..." He said to himself as he made his way back downstairs.
He saw Slindis on the way out and decided to asked her if Ekou said anything that could help him.
"Hey. Saw what happened back there, You know that guy?"
Angelus looked down with confusion as she saw the flowers among her talons, but decided to ponder their significance later, as she focused upon the happy couple before her. It was nice to see everything work (finally) for the wedding, and decided that now was the time to return to her human form. With a nod to Kurumu, the dragon discretely went behind a pillar and began to change back to her human form.
[hr]arsrkk[/hr]
Caim frowned a little, and typed,
Code:
[color=darkblue]"I never really knew what the flowers were for, but for what it's worth; people don't have to be married to be parents. Just look at Dillon and Amaya. They were only joined now, but they've been raising Luna up to this point anyway. When it comes to children, what matters is the love of the parents and the child, nothing more. This ceremony is only a formality, really, but I'm not going to going to insult those who partake in it. Furthermore, your mother and I... It's complicated. Maybe when you're a little older you'll understand."[/color]
[hr]fsd;j[/hr]
Ton Ton nodded at Puce's question, "For me being physically at a wedding, yes, but I've seen other examples, such as princesses or celebrities on TV, so I am not completely in the dark about it."
A woman entered the Commander's office, noticing the dossiers scattered on the table. He was staring out of the window, observing the chaos in London.
"Hard day, isn't it Sir?"
"Indeed." He turned to face her. "What is it Lieutenant?"
"I found this in the archives, thought you'd be interested." She placed yet another dossier onto the mess on his table. "It's an old US file, detailing a group they employed once".
He quickly read through it. "Any ideas on contacting them?"
"We could send an agent to meet them."
"We have no one available, except........."
He looked at the lieutenant. "Get me David West's file."
It was at that moment David's Phone rang, sending out a short burst of the chorus of "Rock you like a Hurricane!".
"Hello? Who is this and how did you get this number?" He asked straight away.
"Commander Richardson of The Unified Intelligence Task-force. We've been given use of the EATTF at this time. What is your current position and status?"
"Commander Richardson of The Unified Intelligence Task-force. We've been given use of the EATTF at this time. What is your current position and status?"
David recalled who UNIT were, British based intelligence network, But there was always a snag.
"Ok.....This might be a stupid thing to ask a Spy but....Are you going to Rat me out to Russia about Moscow?....Cuz....That'd suck....Like a lot..."
This comment brought a few snickers among those in the same room as Richardson.
Richardson was puzzled somewhat. Am I talking to Dale Gribble now?
"About what exactly? Besides, we're an international operation, but that's besides the point. We're looking to contact a group who may have dealt with man behind these recent incidents."
"About what exactly? Besides, we're an international operation, but that's besides the point. We're looking to contact a group who may have dealt with man behind these recent incidents."
Well I'll be dammed....They were right, It was Reset!" David Realised as he wiped the hundreds of murders off his agenda.
"Ohhh....In that case, It really depends on what group it is, I ain't really part of EATTF anymore. Kinda been...Freelancing for lack of a better word..."
Christ, I didn't think the situation in Ireland was THAT bad.
"You are aware that going AWOL is, bad, right? Anyway, we have some descriptions here, a "college student with lightning powers", a "Man with a Dragon BFF" among others."
"You are aware that going AWOL is, bad, right? Anyway, we have some descriptions here, a "college student with lightning powers", a "Man with a Dragon BFF" among others."
"Trust me, if you were there, you'd know why. That and I wasn't sure that the Group was still around once I left. I was petty busy. As for your group, Does the File say "Rising Dawn"?" David asked as he realised he'd have to deal with Desertion now. ""Actually as a matter of fact, it does..."
"Ah right, I can hook you up to them in a while, just their unavailable at the moment. Here, let me just write this down....
Alright so that's "UNIT, R-i-c-h-a-r-d-s-o-n...You have a number we-they could call?"
"Ah right, I can hook you up to them in a while, just their unavailable at the moment. Here, let me just write this down....
Alright so that's "UNIT, R-i-c-h-a-r-d-s-o-n...You have a number we-they could call?"
"Personal reasons, We'll get back to ya, just for now, if they knew I was doing business at a time like this?....Actually, what is this about anyway?..." David finally asked, unsure of whether or not inform the rest of the group about UNIT's request.
"Personal reasons, We'll get back to ya, just for now, if they knew I was doing business at a time like this?....Actually, what is this about anyway?..."
Have they been in space? How do you ignore the destruction of an entire country!?.
"Oh just the small matter of 200 million dead, London being assaulted by Electric Cthulhu. You know, everyday matters. You know West, if I wanted, I could track this phone's signal."
The wicked sorcerer [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110912181333/mk/images/thumb/b/bf/Shang_tsung_render_1000px.png/250px-Shang_tsung_render_1000px.png] sat on his throne [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110421172638/mk/images/thumb/7/7d/Shang_Tsung%27s_Throne_Room.jpg/250px-Shang_Tsung%27s_Throne_Room.jpg], biding his time until the next Mortal Kombat tournament that would decide the fate of Earthrelm.
"Aaah, if it isn't the robotic attack dog of the Lin Kuei. Why are you here Sektor?" His voice was worn and rasping, but the menace in it was apparent.
"I am the one seeking you." Krauser spoke up.
"Wolfgang von Krauser. I know of you, as I know of every kombatant of worth in Earthrelm. But who is your other companion?" he motioned at the scythe wielding man by Krauser's side.
"Zasalamel is not your concern. I am here to offer a partnership. If you know of me, then surely you know of Rugal Burnstien. He is planning something on a large scale and we are looking for insurance against his magic powers. We were hoping you could help us."
"Anything is possible for a price. Under these circumstances, the price would be your souls."
Zasalamel gave a quick chuckle, drawing a hawk-like glare from the sorcerer.
"This is no laughing matter. Outworld could always use more drones." There was a certain verbal twinge on the word drones that put the three warriors on edge. Just then, the sorcerer shouted and two fireballs burst from his hands at them.
Krauser countered with two fireballs of his own, but when the flames cleared, Shang Tsung was flying through the air, straight at him. The kick flung Krauser through the great oak doors into the courtyard where the tournaments take place. Back in the throne room, the old man summoned two skulls up from the ground, striking Zasalamel and Sektor under their guards. Sektor fired a laser net which Shang Tsung leaped over, only to find himself caught mid-air in the crux of Zasalamel's scythe. He was hurled viciously two the ground, just barely rolling away before Sektor's iron heels crushed the ground where his head was.
Back in the courtyard, Krauser was on his feet and ready to join the fray, but then a large green hand smashed through the stone floor and pulled him down through the hole into an underground lair [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110331100820/mk/images/thumb/5/52/Goroslair9.jpg/180px-Goroslair9.jpg]. He found himself in the grip of a giant four-armed ogre [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110526123920/mk/images/thumb/5/54/Gororendermk9fix2.png/250px-Gororendermk9fix2.png].
"So you are my next challenger!" Goro said before tossing the earl against the wall.
----------------------
"You will not survive this day Shang Tsung!" Sektor taunted, readying his missile attack.
He was about to unleash his barrage but he was suddenly lifted into the air by a ghostly green energy. The force that lifted him rotated him and he saw Ermac [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110526123761/mk/images/thumb/c/cb/Ermacrendercutout2.png/250px-Ermacrendercutout2.png], coming to his master's aid.
"There are three of you, but we are many!" The telekinetic monster chanted, slamming the cyborg to the ground.
"I will never die as long as I serve Shao Khan!" Shang Tsung laughed. but his boasting was interupted when his legs were swept from under him by a scythe.
"You know nothing of immortality, you fool." Zasalamel said in a hollow voice before bringing the dull edge of his scythe harshly down on the wizard's chest.
------------------------------------
Krauser rolled to his feet and charged at Goro. The oger tried to smash him with it's lower set of arms, but the gold-armored warrior leaped up and flipped over in mid air, wrapping his powerful legs around Goro's throat.
With the momentum of his flip, he pulled the green giant down hard, slamming his back against the ground. Back on his feet, Krauser jumped up high and came down like a hammer on Goro's chest with his elbow. The oger gasped in pain and wrapped his four mighty arms around Krauser, trying to crush him in his embrace.
Krauser felt one of his ribs crack under the intense pressure, and let loose a close range fireball. It did damage and Goro realsed him. Krauser managed to get his feet back under him, but so did Goro. He grabbed the Earl's hand and Krauser reciprocated. They were locked together in a power stuggle, a battle of brawn between the undisputed strongest Earl of Stroheim and the Shokan champion of Mortal Kombat.
---------------------------------------
Sektor engaged his jet boots and went hurtling at Ermac, plowing the both of them through a window down into The Pit [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110331101605/mk/images/thumb/d/dd/Pitbottom.jpg/180px-Pitbottom.jpg] below. On the way down, Ermac struck him repeatedly, but it did no good. Ermac impacted the ground hard enough to crack the stone, just lucky enough not to have landed on a spike. He threw Sektor off of him with a knee to the stomach, sending him upside-down into a stone spike so hard that he broke threw it.
The red cyborg dissapeared with his telaporter, and came up under the prone Ermac, lifting him into the air, flying up towards the bridge above them [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111001224651/mk/images/thumb/3/34/Reptile_Vs._Nightwolf_MK-9.jpg/640px-Reptile_Vs._Nightwolf_MK-9.jpg], and slamming him through it. Sektor tossed the limp ghost wielder onto the bridge and readied himself to return to the throne room, when he was hit in the face with a ghost projectile. Ermac was on his feet, and now the real fight would start.
--------------------------------------------
Zasalamel found himself suddenly on the floor with Shang Tsung standing over him, having used the body-switch spell.
"And I suppose you do?" he asked mockingly.
"More than you can imagine."
The hooded warrior struck the sorcerer in the side of the knee with his elbow, causing him to howl in pain. Taking the opportunity, he threw the old man off balance and jumped back to his feet. He pulled back his scythe for a killing blow, but the old man suddenly transformed into a copy of Zasalamel himself.
They dueled, scythe to scythe, each taking hits and returning in kind, but then without warning, Shang Tsun was himself again, and blasted a fireball at Zasalamel. He ducked and lashed out at the old man's legs, but he jumped over the blade and grabbed Zasalamel by the neck.
The sorcerer struck two quick blows into his opponent's solar-plexus making him go limp. Then he lifted him off of his feet and laughed.
"Now your soul will be mine!" he cackled.
Shang Tsung held up his free hand and said an incantation...but nothing happened.
"Impossible! How are you resisting my soul-steal? You couldn't be- GRAH!"
He was stopped by the end of Zasalmel's scythe stabbing through his guts. He dropped the immortal and cried out in pain.
"I haven't had a soul for a very long time." He said as he callously yanked the scythe out of Shang Tsung's body, and knocked him down onto his face.
He pulled the old sorcerer's head up by the hair and moved the sharp hook of his scythe under his neck, then released him.
"Mercy...I beg you..." the servant of Outworld pleaded.
"Your several centuries too late for mercy." The hooded immortal stated with a vicious edge in his voice before stomping on the back of Shang Tsung's skull, pushing his neck down into the scythe blade and cleanly severing his head.
Krauser and Goro's feet were digging into the ground as the pushed each others strength to the limit. Krauser gained an once of leverage, but Goro hit him in the ribs with two punishing blows from his lower arms, them lifted him in the air with his upper ones.
He began to pull Krauser's arms apart like a wishbone, and they could both feel his joints straining. With a cry of tremendous effort, the man in gold armor pulled Goro's arms in close and kicked him in the face with both feet. The ogre dropped him and roared furiously. Krauser had had enough.
He began gathering a charge of purple energy around himself, making the air crackle around him. He focused it into his hands and yelled,
"KAISER WAVE!"
massive wave of chi energy [https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRB0kypoG0p_qFYhiSI8uzug6T9K6btFdJVPj7kYB1BaMIyRfBT] errupeted from Krauser's hands and blasted Goro off of his feet.
When the energy dissipated, all that was left of Goro was scorched remains.
Sektor jetted toward Ermac, dodging ghost shots, and connected with a brutal uppercut, then a knee to the groin. Ermac slammed the cyborg to the ground with his powers, but he jumped back to his feet and unleashed his flame thrower. Ermac struck out blindly with his powers while wreathed in flame. One of his shots cracked the bridge foundation, and it started to sway dangerously. Another knocked Sektor off of the side. He reached out and grabbed the edge, clinging for life while Ermac burned. By whiping air around him with his ghost energy, he was able to extinguish the flame, but he was badly hurt.
He grabbed the cyborg assasin with his ghost energy, yanked him from the side of the bridged and brought him close enough to lock eyes. Then he began to crush him.
Sektor cried out in pain and under his wrappings, Ermac smiled. But then a small whirring came from Sektor's chest cavity and a hole opened up right in the middle. By the time Ermac realized it was firing a missile, the explosive was lodging itself in his eye socket. The explosion obliterated the top half of Ermac's body, and threw Sektor to the ground. He teleported back to the throne room just before the bridge collapsed.
So that was a huge freaking post. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I won't keep posting really long things like that, I just wanted to showcase my team's capabilities and make it as interesting as possible. I'll keep it shorter from now on.
"Oh just the small matter of 200 million dead, London being assaulted by Electric Cthulhu. You know, everyday matters. You know West, if I wanted, I could track this phone's signal."
".....Ahhh......Right....That does sound more important then......Hold on a second and I'll get them...." David said as he ran towards the After-party.
As Akane presented her Gift, Kazuya and Hiryu followed Suit. "So here we are....Sure came a long way since Japan, Eh Amaya?..." He said, keeping a watchful eye on Akasumi. "Well, Anyway, I heard about little Luna here so I'd thought I'd give a little input on her Training..."
And Thus he handed a box to Luna.
She opened it and found a set of specialised Fighting Gloves, Based off his own set and redesigned for her paws.
"Anyway, I'd love to stay but I have other matters to see too. I look forward to seeing how Luna does with her training. I bid you all farewell..." Kazuya said before he made his way back to his jet.
Hiryu presented his next.
"Well..."Ninja Master of the Universe" I didn't think I'd see this day. I was hoping that you're Husband would have invited me but I made it and that's all that really matters..." He said, give a sly smile to Dillon.
"Well, onto Business." He said as he pulled out a strange sword and presented it to them.
She put the knife away again as she turned to David. [color=c20000]"That was the first time I've ever met up with him, but there was something about the man that told me that I couldn't risk spending too much time around him. Perhaps it was the way he was examining me the same way a soldier would look at a new weapon, or it could have been the way he talked. In any case, I've ran into that kind of man back home while I was working on something. He's currently in Dolurrh thanks to his former servants."[/color]
Slindis paused for a second as she overheard the bits and pieces of the conversation about the dead, remembering the feeling from the die. She could still feel a few traces from the die that seemed to have latched on to her, although they seemed to have calmed down. [color=c20000]What could have been so important that someone would subject so many to such a horrid death?[/color]
David nodded in agreement.
"Yep....That's him right down to the ground...One of his servants is a fri-....No...More then that...He has her under her command against her will. Bet he was planning the same thing to you..." He said as he recalled all the horrible things he would do to Ekou if given the chance.
It was then he saw Slindis zone out at little.
"...You alright?..."
