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

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

here we go...

David was able to wipe his hands, but the handkerchief helped little for his jacket.
"Well Ricky (Riki),
1: That's 3 things
2: David West, like I said, Resident Marksman around here.
3: Here is the Rising Dawn, Fancy ass Airship that happens to be a meeting ground for the craziest assholes this world has to offer.
4: Saving the world....again...It's what we do on Saturdays when Assholes like Tomoya decide to become total wank-shafts!" He said before the first shots rang out.
"....5: That would be him. Listen, unless you are any good in a fight, and I mean that as in the "Bullets and Explosions" Sense, stay here, both of you. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to stick one right between his eyes..." He said as he reloaded his M500 and ran out to the Flight deck.
Once there, he began to score hits on incoming aircraft.

Incoming Aircraft
The pilots of one of these aircraft watched on as a man (David) began to fire a handgun at them.
".......Wow...."
"....THIS is it?....I was expecting a lot mor-"
The due was interrupted when a bullet stuck though the windscreen before racing around the cockpit, ricocheting off the walls and passing though them several times.

Flight Deck
David was reloading when the aircraft spun out of control and right into another incoming.
"....Think that was off centre, I was aiming for the Airlock release..." He said to himself.

"ERMAHGERD, CAPCHER!"

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Ba'erth unslung his bow and nocked a golden arrow. He let fly and watched as it cut through the air, sizzling, as if it were burning air itself. The arrow streaked gold behind it and thudded into one of the ships, through the windscreen. It stuck into the wall behind the pilot and, in an instant, filled the cockpit with light. The pilot couldn't see, but he could feel his skin burning.

Ba'erth, still hidden behind his hood, nocked another arrow and sent it straight into the air, sending a golden powder raining down on the ship. Anyone with goodness in their hearts would now fight with unmatched enthusiasm., for as long as they were on the rising dawn.

Chris had managed to carry Tailgate to the med bay and get her some bandages. They were horrified when they saw Shadow. They had really only come out of the crash with a few cuts and bruises, but Shadow? he would never look the same.

 

[StormShaun]

Riki & Kud.
Location: Rising Dawn Med-Bay.
Time: Afternoon, the beginning of battle.

As Riki was handed the handkerchief back he gazed back at Shadow and then back to Kud and smiled. "It's great that they are both going to live." Riki said as he saw a window and gazed outside. The first sounds of war bursted from within the silence. "Riki..." Kud said worriedly as he looked outside. "Baka, don't worry. As David said, we cannot do anything to help the battle and we already did as much as we can for this poor guy. Lets go explore and try to get settled down. Riki said as he grabbed his younger lover's hand and started to walk around the ship.

Dark Tomoya.
Location: NYC Battleground, front of the army.
Time: Afternoon, the beginning of battle.

As the first sounds of war came forth, Tomoya's sick smirk spread across his face. "To war men and angels!" He yelled once more as he grabbed a near by flamethrower from an heavy assault unit as began to fly. The aircraft which David shot was used as a stepping stone for him as he jumped off onto the second ship which Ba'erth shot into. Seeing the light in the cockpit made Tomoya mad, summoning his dark katana in his unarmed hand he immediately stabbed through the fighter which killed the pilot immediately. "How weak." Tomoya sighed as he jumped off but landed on an enemy plane and kicked the window off. "It tis the season to be jolly-" Tomoya said and sprayed fire into the enemy's cockpit with his flamethrower.

The plane went out of control, but Tomoya managed to surf it down the air and into one of the UNIT's ships which didn't cause any major damage. Tomoya managed to jump off at the last second and raced past the Rising Dawn with his black wings. "Ooh, hello old friend." He said as he went past David in a blink.

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Tailgate rushed out onto the battlefield. She looked around, MP5 in hand. She wasn't technically a soldier. At 19 years of age, she wasn't experienced enough with combat situations. However, she'd not only done Orbital drops, but flown both Stalkers and Striker V-15s directly into black zones. None of which she could put on her resumé, since it didn't officially happen. In fact, as far as 'official' positions were concerned, she was an aeronautical consultant.

She searched the deck for the hooded one, the one who had seemed to be able to open portals. She had a plan.

 

[Ninjamedic]

This shit just at real. (That's the phrase right?)

Skyship Valiant




A squadron of fighters came into view, about to open fire on the airship when a barrage of missiles annihilated them. The Valiant came into view, all guns blazing, aircraft being launched, VTOLS descending to drop troops onto buildings. The Defiant followed on the other side of the Rising Dawn, the two Skycarriers shielding the airship from the worst of the Angel fire.

Dark Tomoya's rampage didn't go unnoticed, Richardson overlooked his attempt at an attack. "Someone get a bloody heatseeker on his arse!". He pulled put a M93R, firing on an attacking Angel ship, the shots did little damage. Then he pressed a switch beside the gun's magazine catch, the bullets detonated taking the ship with it. "INCOMING!!" The jet DT was surfing on skidded off the flight deck, doing no damage to the armour, but throwing off the soldiers on deck and knocking out two fighter jets mid-launch. "Target that arsehole!" The broadside turrets all locked onto DT.

All Fighters disengage from sector 5, maintain distance from the Emo Git.

Richardson himself flash-stepped over to the side of the ship, pulling out his pistol again and training his sight on DT's head......



Rising Dawn.

"....Think that was off centre, I was aiming for the Airlock release..."

"Need a spotter?" Fionn appeared beside David, Sandy in hand, an orange glow flowing down the barrels, he pulled the shotgun to bear at a pair of fighters. The buckshot itself did little, but soon a firestorm erupted on both fighters, immolating and detonating both.

 

[bluecrimson]

Valiant

Hearing the combat raging outside, Tajuh sprinted out of the hanger of the Rising dawn and onto the Valiant's flight deck. He saw an open fighter and jumped into it, quickly going through the pre-flight checks before he launched. "Archaic machine, but I'll make it work. Ground control, I'm engaging combat with the host."

Directly after launching, he plummeted down below the majority of the cloud cover. G-forces will take some getting used to again, but it's good to be back in the cockpit. A small smirk crossed his face as he popped up below one of the Angelic jets and fired one of the missiles at one of the wings, which connected with devastating results as he dove back down into the cloud cover. "Can't hit what you don't see, greenhorns."

Tajuh checked the onboard radar to see that the battle was a mess, and took special note of sector 5. This old plane was back before they switched over to the more durable boards, so he didn't want any errant lightning bolts to fry the delicate circuitry. Hopefully this isn't their most up to date machine, or they're in for some serious problems.

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Tailgate found Ba'erth standing on the deck of the Rising Dawn firing arrows out into ships. He was surprisingly good.

"hey, buddy. How would you like to put those blades of yours to good use?

Ba'erth tore a hole in the upper material plane and stepped through, hand in hand with Tailgate. He came out in a blue, shiny place. He ran up a hill to where one of the ships would have been back on the upper material plane. He tore another hole in that plane, opening the other side in the corresponding spot back in Tailgate's world. They stepped through, coming out inside a ship.

Ba'erth pulled back his hood and revealed his face. He eyes were two beautiful, golden orbs and he had hair to match. The rest of his face, however, was horrific. Scars littered his face, one splitting across his eye, one across the bridge of his nose and a hundred smaller cuts dotted his cheeks. He drew his blades and spoke an incantation.

His blades burst to life. Golden light shone out from one, red the other.

Darkbane and biter.

He thrust one blade through the chest of a nearby demon, spilling blood on the interior of the ship. He spun, blocked an incoming attack, ducked, spun again and thrust both blades through anotheer's chest. He left them there, placed both hands on another demon and shouted incantations. It burst into golden flame and disintegrated. Spinning a final time, he pulled both blades out and lopped off the remaining Demond's head. He was grinning. He hated killing, but this didn't count.

"Come on," he said to Tailgate. She was only just stepping through the rift, a look of surprise on her face, obviously at Ba'erth's fighting prowess.

They moved to the cockpit and Ba'erth kicked the door in. Tailgate moved through, gun blazing. Blood spattered out from one demon's chest. The other reached for his weapon but it too late. His throat had been opened.

"Thanks, mate. Let's have some fun!" Tailgate said taking the controls.

 

[StormShaun]

You really need to make the character sheets and change your avatar...
And quote more. :/

Shit just got... UNREAL!

Seeing how the battle was equal for now with his ships having the upper hand due to technology and numbers, Tomoya got to the end of the ship and before everyone could fire upon him he could spot Richardson. "Leader?" He called through his head before he fell backwards and did a leap of faith dodging all the fire. "Doing infantry work is getting boring." HE said as he returned to his mobile base 2 at the edge of the battlefront. When he had returned the engineer crew rolled out his personal fighter.

(I'm a fan of this ship. I have no idea why)

Jumping inside Dark Tomoya emitted his own electricity and powered the fighter on. "I wonder..." Dark Tomoya said as he lifted off quickly back into the sky with his green fighter. "All infantry and tank groups fire onto the ships. It seems they didn't bring ground unit!" He ordered once more as he fighter sliced through one of their planes.

 

[bluecrimson]

A new fighter appears...

As Tajuh made the most out of his old fighter's relatively limited ammunition while slipping in and out of combat to shoot down a few fighters, he noticed the green plane. It's a bit more advanced, and whoever's flying that isn't a rookie at least. If I can pull him off, perhaps the carrier here can pull off without being severely crippled.

He fired a few rounds at the green plane. Nothing really pierced through, but the pilot knew he was there. As the green machine began to focus on the jet that had attacked it, it dove below the cloud cover. "Let's see what your tech can do here, Fallen one."

 

[StormShaun]

It's green btw. I should of mentioned that or edit the photo. D:

As Tomoya's fighter took on rounds he wondered who it was. "Who the hell is this. Too good to be a normal human... must be a new member." He smirked as the fired up the guns on his fighter. They were two 50 caliber turrets on the front, both were channeled with Tomoya's black lightning so it would make the bullets out of it. Tomoya also decided he will play dirty.

With a twist of his mind and hand, the clouds in the sky began to boom with lightning and thunder, this made the clouds grow black. Tomoya dove back upwards into the now dark sky. Tajuh's plane could not see within the clouds as Tomoya came up behind the plane and began to fire as well. "Lets see..." Tomoya smirked once more as the ship he drove grew faster, it's wings was also made out of razor sharp angel metal stained with the blood of the ship it cut through earlier.

He intended to cut through him.

Shaun.
Location: The (Un)Real World. Some fancy hotel.

As Tomoya was firing upon Tajuh's plane, in the real world Shaun had checked into the nicest room he could find and bought his laptop along. He was already on it and was checking his two characters progress but sighed. "Ahh, I forgot they can't fight for crap in this world!" Shaun said as he saw Tomoya's part. Shaun smugly smirked to himself as he did the only thing he could. Write.

Back to the AA with Tomoya and Tajuh.

As Tomoya was growing with speed right behind Tajuh and still firing. It started to hail all of a sudden. It bounced all along their ships. "The fuck!? I didn't do this!!!" Tomoya yelled as he had to decrease his speed to avoid killing himself... if he can that is.

The battle below them didn't experience the hail.

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Mike Jeffries sat back in the SOU control room and took anther sip of his coffee. He checked his watch -- 10 minutes had passed since that mailroom boy had gone out. He should have been back by now with the donuts.

"Sir, the secretary of supernatural defence wants a word with you." A young desk jockey approached him. Mike sighed. He didn't have time for this right now.
"I'm busy. Tell him to call me back."
"Sir,I don't think I can."
"I don't exist to make him happy."
"Oh, no?" Mike felt a chill run up his spine. He glared at the young desk jockey, who only shrugged apologetically.
"He made me do it, sir."

He stood up and greeted SSoD David Skirving. "You should have told me you were coming, sir."
"What, and pass up that opportunity? Ha, I think not!" The white haired old man smiled and sat down in the chair next to Mike's. "So, sit-rep."
"well, we're actually still waiting on-"
A siren blared over the loudspeakers.
"SIR! I think you should see this!"

 

[Ninjamedic]

Richardson observed the dogfight, noting the bullets from DT's ship being augmented with Black Lightning. "I think it's time to how him one of our tricks." He pulled out his phone, noting the craft being piloted by Tajuh. "Bring one of them out". A large crate was elevated out of an opening in the flight deck. The sides of it fell down, revealing a bipedal tank.

"Target the git in that goofy fighter. Fire at Will. REX swung around, bringing its rail cannon to bear against the DT's ship, electricity ran down it. A barrage of missiles erupted from its back, masking the Rail Cannon's blast.....

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Chris raced out onto the deck and jumped into an empty fighter. He started up the engines and took off. He had dona a short pilot's course at uni and was an okay fighter pilot. He started to search the skies for a target.

 

[bluecrimson]

Odd. Certainly odd.

Tajuh felt the shots glance his fighter and did a small roll in the hailstorm before plummeting down and out of sight. As DT thought the man was shot down, he felt a few missile impacts at the repair unit on the left wing, dealing a good amount of damage. "It doesn't matter how good the machine is if the pilot's substandard!" A quick diagnostic check told him that the bullets had damaged the explosive charges of two of the AA missiles, so he immediately dropped them down below, killing a few of the infantry down there from the impact.

"Hmm, possible energy weapons. If I can wear his reserves out, we could be in a good position here." He focused some more on the repair unit, firing the forward vulcans into it. As the fight continued, all the old memories of piloting rushed back into him. He may not be able to turn the tide of battle in this antiquated machine, but it didn't mean he couldn't keep this ace's attention away from where it should be - on the carriers.

The missile fire coming into the area was dodged by a few rolls, and Tajuh smirked. Good, some AA fire. Now if they're smart, they'll have some- The shot from the railgun turned the smirk into a full-on smile. Railgun rounds. Better focused on the carriers, but I'll take it!

 

[StormShaun]

As Tomoya slowed down he could only notice that Tajuh's ship rolled past something. Mimicking the movements he managed to dodge the missiles and saw the R2 unit on the front. "The fuck... I have a robot on this ship!?" He questioned as he felt a bump. The bump was actually him accidently hitting Chris's ship with his bladed wing which cut off Chris's wing and he started to fall. "Huh, what was tha-" Tomoya wondered and looked outside but was cut off by the rail-gun hitting both his ship's front and wings.

"That was lame!" Tomoya said as he kicked off his cockpit windows and set foot outside as he plane began to fall. As Tomoya spotted the R2 unit he smiled. He pulled the robot out of it's hole, ripped it's head off and stuffed a belt full of un-pinned grenades and stuffed the head right back on. The R2 unit made a funny noise as a sudden kick from Tomoya launched it directly past Tajuh's ship before exploding. "Four!" He yelled at them as his ship sank into the black clouds.

It was only seconds before he ascended once more out of the clouds with his black wings. That was not all though, he was raised until one of his own carriers boomed out of the clouds as well.

Spoiler: This ship is pretty small.

The ship began charging it's laser and Tomoya pointed his gun towards both the carrier and Tujah. "Bang!" Tomoya said smirking. All of a sudden a laser bursted forth from the front of the ship, it was also combined with Dark Tomoya's lightning, creating a hell of an attack.

(Don't worry, this won't kill... well that is up to you. XD)

 

[bluecrimson]

Not gonna happen.

Tajuh's plane was rattled by the explosion, but he veered to the left when he saw the ship bearing down on him and broadcasted to Tomoya. "As I've told many others, it's not the machine that makes a difference in a battle. It's the pilot!" He strained against the G forces acting on him, but he was able to get out of the way of the shot well in time.

 

[StormShaun]

Do whatever you want to still.

When Tomoya heard Tajuh on his computer radio he did the only thing he wanted to. "There is no point focusing on this guy. I may as blow up some cruisers." Tomoya said as he gave the other pilot the bird and stuck out his tongue as he did that. The carrier he stood on began to deceased below the black clouds and returned to the battlefield.

Tomoya was going to turn to the Rising Dawn this time and give them a quick check before he goes back to the ruined city to fulfill his goal. "Hmm, done... I'll be there in a sec." Tomoya smirked as he got off the call.

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

snip

snop

Chris started to plummet to the earth as his wing fell away behind him. He reached for the eject lever. He couldn't believe that he was out of the fight so quickly. He pulled 'eject'. Nothing happened. He pulled again, harder. Still nothing. He looked up to see the ground rising up to meet him.

"but?"

The fighter plane hit the ground and exploded.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David and Fionn fired at incoming infantry ships, ensuring the Rising Dawn was kept enemy free during the fight.
During a pause in the attack, he looked on at the sheer scale of the battle, dozens of Airships, explosions and gunfire for miles.
"....How did my life end up like this?..." He pondered before resuming fire.
"You! Guy who's name I don't know (Fionn), go the armoury and get us some party favours with better range, I'd go but I think I'm the only one who can make these shots." He asked, blindly firing as he did.
Over his shoulder, a direct hit caused a Transport to crash into one of the Angel ships.

All the while, Rugal sat in his room, pacing back and forth.
While he COULD survive the Airship crashing, he did it before, he was more worried about the remaining angel forces that might pick him off.
Mmmm...guess I could get my hands dirty...provided I'm not seen... He thought.

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Shadow regained consciousness in the med room. He climbed out of the machine and looked around for his gear. There -- lying on one on of the surgical tables. The man walked over and picked it up.

Tailgate and Chris were nowhere to be found. He could only hope that that was a good sign.

Raising a hand to his neck, he keyed his mic.

"Hey, Chris, Tailgate, do you copy?"
"Hey, yeah, it's Lilly. I'm outside. I've taken command of an enemy ship -- this stuff is super advanced. It's crazy!" He was glad that she was OK.
"What about Chris, where is he?" he asked, exiting the med bay and making his way down the corridor. He didn't know where he was going, but if he picked a direction and kept walking he'd eventually hit something.
"I thought... I thought he was with you." Shadow felt his stomach drop.
"Chris, where are you? I'm worried, mate. This isn't funny." Silence. "Chris, please, are you there?" Shadow could feel tears welling up inside him. Chris was his only friend left in the world. "CHRIS!"
"I'm sure he'll be fine, Jack. He's probably just busy."

"CHRIS!" The word crackled over the damaged radio earpiece in the wreckage of Chris' fighter plane on the ground.

"So, Lilly? That's your name?"
"Oh. Yes, My name is Lilly Baxter. I'm sorry. What was your name again?"
"Ba'erth Ne'kattolathis. Lilly thought for a moment.
"Can I call you Ba?"
"Yes," he chuckled. "yes, Ba is fine."
