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

[The_R3d_Fury]

Shadow ran through the Rising Dawn, looking for the two children. EVentually, he found them cornered in some sort of storage area. He opened up on the two SOU ODT members, killing one and wounding the other. He ran over to the wounded man and wrenched his head to the side.

*CRACK*

The limp body fell to the ground, his head twisted at an extremely painful looking angle. Rikki and Kud stared.
"Hi," Shadow said, out of breath. "This ship is no longer safe for anyone, especially the likes of you two. We need to get you to safety."

 

[bluecrimson]

Someone saw the drop troops.

While the young elf was waiting for the conflict, she saw a few odd looking men move through the ship and split off from the rest to see where they were going. Although Puce had updated the rest of the systems, he'd left the ventilation systems intact - a fact Melethia used to pursue them through the vents. She eventually dropped in the room where Shadow had fled to, using a small rope from one of her pouches to provide a path back up. "Hey everyone, those guys look like they mean business. Are you gonna get going before they get here?"

The young green-haired elven girl began setting up a small trap at the door in hopes to slow the third man down.

Rugal/Heidern

After watching the battle from his room, Rugal grew restless and began to sneak around the ship, hoping to find a transport or some other means of getting off the Airship before the crew got them, including him, killed.
However on his way over to the hanger, he watched some of the SOU Drop Troopers march though the halls.
Great, sure, throw in another enemy, not like we had enough problems already.. He thought as he tried to get one alone for a heart to heart/Interrogation.

David West

"Hey, sometimes Skill pre-dates age!" David boasted as the pair of them prevented any attempts by Tomoya's forces to board the ship.
After several more blown up fighters, they got the hint and backed off, For now...
"Alright, get some breathing room. Hey, you got some Hocus Pocus to get me onto one of their ships? If I can get on aboard, I can take out the engine. That should be able to take it out of commission and let us worry about the other dozen."

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Rugal lowered himself to the deck and crept up behind one of the troops. He wrapped his arm around the man's neck -- unwittingly keying his microphone -- and began to drag him backwards. The noise of the 2 struggling came through on the earpieces of the other soldiers.

Rugal saw his blunder, knocked the man out cold and spun to flee...

...Only to feel the but of a rifle hit his face.

The SOU soldiers laughed at they threw him into a room and shut the door.

"Just you wait," one of them jeered. "We're going to be setting a class 6 anomaly in here within a few hours, and you," he said, pointing to Rugal, "are going to experience the horrors of what it can do to you firsthand.

They shut and locked the door, laughing as they walked back off to join up with the others in their search for the rogue operatives.

 

[bluecrimson]

Melethia shrugged and climbed up the ropes, moving through the vents. When she heard the jeering, she held off until they left and quietly went down a rope she had on hand to land right in front of the door. "Hmm, locked door. Nice try, but I'm the master at lockpicking!" Within a few seconds, she popped open the door to see Rugal. "You okay, Wheathair? Just look at this as thanks for earlier." She led the man out of the cell, looking ready for a fight.

Snip

Rugal quickly arose from his apparent knock out, only taking a moment to dust himself off.
"Mmm...That one with rifle must do a lot of lifting...Still, I've met schoolgirls that hit harder then that..." He said before he stood up and took in his surroundings.
"Okay, guess I'm taking the front-"
He paused for a second as Melethia opened the locked door from the outside.
"....Door. Melethia? How'd you find me? I mean...Nevermind, We need to do something. Those guys mean business and with all the fighting inside, they might be able to do some real harm before the other stop them...
...
...
Any ideas?" He asked, if she wasn't there, he'd have killed several of them by now, but with her here, he forced himself back into Character.

She grinned. "Well, Wheathair, we know what the ship looks like. They don't. Wanna leave some surprises for them?" As Melethia rifled through one of her pouches, Rugal could see many dangerous compounds. "How about some acids and bases to gas them out, then some magnesium fires to scorch them?" She looks through the halls for any of the dropped troops

Riki & Kud.
Location: NYC Battlefield.
Time Afternoon.

Riki smliled softly as he saw the healthy man get up. "This ship isn't in much danger itself. It will probably avoid the event about to happen. We only need to stop one person from coming on board and we should all be fine." Riki said with a now determined look. The only bad thing he was talking about was Tomoya, if he got onto the ship he could do untold damages to anything. Luckily enough he was distracted with the bomb he was planting in New York City to make it a big crater. Funnily enough no one decided to notice this and retreat. "Good to see your alive~" Kud smiled gently towards the man.

Then suddenly screams of agony were let out further in the airship. It wasn't any of them. This made Kud run to the location. "KUD!" He yelled as he chased after her as well.

Dark Tomoya.
Location: NYC Battlefield.
Time Afternoon.

Rising Dawn, Room near Tomoya's previous one.

The outside wall to the room bursted open due to a plane smashing into it. The burning wreckage only covered part of the room, but one figure emerged with another. Dark Tomoya was holding the pilot, he had a rope and tied the pilot's hand to the railing of the wall and his the pilot's leg to the heavy wreckage. The pilot looked at him with a terrified and blood face, he knew what was going to happen. "Please.. do-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEHHHHH" The pilot begged but soon the bottom of his body was missing because Tomoya kicked the wreckage off, and he died painfully but quickly. "Sorry didn't hear you... can you say that again." Tomoya smiled as he put his ear next to his mouth. "Hmmm, I know your problem. You have to speak from your stoma-Oh right." Tomoya said looking at the missing bottom half and began to laugh crazily.

Leaving the room shortly after he saw the room a couple down to him. "Hmm, familiar." He said as he looked at the number which said "1788". Entering the room he could see all the stuff he had left behind. "Oh how nostalgic." He said as he breathed in the smell but coughed shortly after. "It smells like death in he... oh. He was in here." Tomoya sighed as he went into his previous bathroom and bought out the air refresher and sprayed it. "Ahh, that's better... actually smells of life in here." He smiled to himself in satisfaction.

Sitting down for a while he suddenly had an idea. "Ahh, good idea." Tomoya said as he quickly sat down and wrote a letter for the next resident, which would be the people running there in any second. "Ahh, done." Tomoya said as he folded it neatly and placed it next to his console along with his keys to his room and bikes. "Time to do what I need to do... a drink." Tomoya said as he left the room.

The couple and the Angel meet.

As Tomoya exited the room he spotted two SOU troopers aiming guns at him. "Di-" He began speaking but was suddenly lit on fire by Tomoya's flamethrower which ran out of ammo. "Darn." He said as he gave the burning man the flame thrower. The second man shot at him but the bullet was instantly deflected by a dark blade, the next thing the soldier saw was a dark figure with black wings hold him in the air. "Lets... play... a game." Tomoya smirked.

Kud ran towards the screaming, she turned several times, Riki was right behind her. The two suddenly stopped as they spotted a man they saw not long ago, but with giant black wings. "Lets play limbo!" He said as he stabbed his katana into the wall, grabbed the man by the hair and pushed it straight down onto the blade, decapitating him in an instant. Blood gushed all over him, this is when he noticed the couple. He smirked as he began walking towards them. "Well... well... well... what do we have he-GHHH" Tomoya said with an instant pain coming from his head. The couple remained silent and shocked as they saw the man.

"Hehe... damn writer won't quit." He smirked as he got up and walked past the two. "You can use the room 1788, mind the mess in the hallway and room near it. I'll see you two later." He huffed as he left the hallway. The two suddenly dropped on their knees. "We... we should... hide" He said and Kud nodded with him. The two took shelter in room 1788 (Tomoya's previous room) and locked it.

A couple of minutes later, the Archangel was already in the power reactor room. "Ahh, I love the smell of electricity." He smiled as he remembered the moments he had in here. Touching the main reactor, suddenly Tomoya heard one of his officers. "Lord... it is ready." He simply said, "What a bother... can't a guy have fun?" He sighed again, his body transformed into black lightning as he was on the ship no more.

A couple of second later he appeared on the Empire State Building once more. "So... who called me." He said, quickly one officer offered his hand... literally. Tomoya instantly cut off his hand with his dark blade. The man started to scream and bleed everywhere but was quickly taken to the med-bay on a ship. "Ok, since the bomb is ready, get the troops teleported back to the ships and get the ships out of this orbit. We will pull out too... but leave me on the last ship." Tomoya said.

The infantry and tanks started to fall back to multiple points.
Fighters returned to their ships.
The ships fell back.
Then suddenly multiple skyscraper sized portals opened up and gave birth to monstrous sized ships which began to fire around the enemy, as a warning of the impending DESTRUCTION.
A message to them that they should retreat too, because one force (And the Rising Dawn) cannot beat them.
They will need to gather more power and allies.

The Angel army was falling back and retreating.
Yet Tomoya held a single detonator that could kill everyone.
"If I pressed this button... it would kill millions!" He smiled.
"I guess I'll play it fair... don't want to reduce MY army." Tomoya sighed as he waited for both sides to retreat.


EDIT: Forgot lol.

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

Shaun had finished editing Dark Tomoya's sheet. He couldn't edit most of it, but there was ONE single part missing in the sheet. Weakness. The words blinked out on the screen. He had filled it in and saved it. Now Tomoya shouldn't be able to hurt them and that it was up to them to save them all.

The Stone
And the couple.
"Oh I love romance." Shaun laughed as he started to watch anime again.
("I wonder if people will call out that this is OP... meh. This is Tomoya's last arch anyway.
This is going to be a challenge for them...")

Acid Burns and gassing?...I like the way you think
"...uhhhh...Sure, why not?..." He nervously answered, somewhat frightened by how much she knew about hurting others.
"Just where is Slindis? Just she might be in danger, I mean, Guns tend to out range swords in battle..." He added as he followed the elf, peering around corners as she moved on.

"My mom's probably safe. I mean, she's really strong, and she knows how to use a bow as well." As they kept going, it was eerie how quiet it was in here.

The girl sets a small vial of acid suspended in a larger glass vial containing a chunk of byeshk and mithril, all worked around a thin tripwire. "Now this is a fun one. They run and trip the wire, the vial breaks, and the acid reacts with the byeshk and mithril to produce enough electricity to power a medium-sized manufactory for three days! Had something like that on my room back home, and not a lot can live through that."

After a bit, they were within eyesight of the main staging area.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snip

"Well...I hope so, those guys looked tough..." Rugal Lied as she began to set up her tripwire, noting the several strange metals and acids.
Once she finished explaining the trap, He leaned in for a closer look.
That's all they need to power a factory? oh the possibilities... He thought, making a note to disable this trap after the battle was over.
"So just that can make enough electricity to power a building? where do you keep getting all this stuff? I never heard of such elements or the such before..." He asked, if he did get the secret of Slindis's inter-realm travel, he'd would want to know where to look.

Melethia looks down at the ground. "Back home, but I don't think I can ever get back after what Firebrand said... But when you were able to go there, the Mithril could be found in the Dwarven lands while the Byeshk was found in the Greywall mountains. Good thing I got up lots while I was there, and Mister Cage let me take the rarer metals as well since I'd be fixing up the Banshee."

The Girl quickly puts a smile on which Rugal can clearly see is forced. "So, you have any family, Wheathair?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"So, you have any family, Wheathair?"

...Strange topic to bring up.
"uhhh...No....not really. Always been married to my work....Just...It this REALLY the time to talk about that? I mean..." Rugal pointed out as the fight outside raged on.
"...Not really the best time to bring up family matters, what with all the people trying to kill us..." He added before he peered over another corner for SOU Goons.

 

[bluerocker]

"This is my kinda fight! All planes without a wingman, form up on the old P-40 Warhawk! All planes with a wingman, pull out and guard those carriers! My callsign is Dozer, now let's go smack some assholes outta the way!" he broadcast over the open Allied channel. Who knew old time stuff was EMP proof due to using tubes and gasses instead of semi-conductive motherboards?

Cadolbolg:

Cadolbolg was trying his hardest to mimic what he had seen his Father do in the middle of battle as he trained with Father and the creature known as Ton Ton. However he wasn't able to assert enough leverage while in the air to perform heavy attacks with his tail.

He croaked in frustration once again as Ton Ton was able to easily deflect a blow and then counter attack.

Not only was that an issue, it seemed that the damnable lizard was able to dodge Cadolbolgs fire breath attacks as well.

Another Cadolbolg wild flailing tail attack, another dodge by Ton Ton and counter.

Feeling defeated, Cadolbolg looked to Father for advice.

"....Why did I make Cortex get into Batman?..."

Teri

Teri froze upon reading the post, realizing what it meant to all characters involved, but before she could say anything; she saw Jake fly through the portal, and wrote very hastily;

"So much for that! Darren, I'm going to go to AA to help with the war effort. I'll be with Caim and Angie. If you want, I can have them hitch you a ride, but I need to know NOW if you're coming with me or not. Make your decision and meet me at the gate!"

With that, the young author began to run to where her characters were training.

Caim, Angelus, and Ton Ton, a few minutes before the portal appeared

Caim and Ton Ton relented from their assaults, and Caim typed,

"You have strength and ferocity, my son, but you lack in technique. The green one's advantage lies in his size and experience. To him; almost everything is larger than he is; so he is used to fighting enemies bigger than himself. Furthermore, his smaller size gives him a good center of gravity; as well as a smaller area to attack him with."

Ton Ton nodded in agreement, "Also, the reason your fire doesn't do much is because I am resistant to elemental attacks of all kinds. I'm pretty tough, if I do say so myself. My HP is 9999 at full strength! But you do have one advantage over me, Mr. Cadolbolg. You're much faster than me. For all my toughness, I'm sloooooowwww. Try to take advantage of your speed, and you might be able to knock my knife from my hand!"

The little combat group continued their talking until Angelus' voice rang clear; "The path to the other world is open! Prepare yourselves!"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Make your decision and meet me at the gate!"

"Wait, what?! You for real?...I....Uh...." Darren stammered, he knew could happen over there, he could either be picked up by the cartel, killed by DT or go mad like Daniel did.
".....I'm sorry, I can't. They found me here, if I go there....Look....I...I wish you the best...."
A few more panicked and awkward gestures later, Darren walked away.
He hated himself for this, but it was too dangerous for him to go to the AA Realm.

Darren is now In-active

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Yo mate the colour Jake speaks in is (maroon) for future reference.

AcesHigh is a flight lead right?

Good to have you on my wing!

You watch too much anime...!

Jake lead the 2 new fighters on his wing and they cut a hole through the melee of enemy fighters, saving the lives of many an Allied pilot. "Typhoon, Tailgate, good to have you! Let's Turn and Burn! AcesHigh, can you provide top cover for the planes we help?"

Only a few minutes more of intense dogfighting and Tomoya's ships began to saturate the area around the Empire State building with mass firepower and the fallen angel fleet began to retreat.

"ALL UNITS ALL UNITS! Fall back! The Angels had us outnumbered and outgunned and they are retreating! They have to have an ace up their sleeve! All units, return to base and get out of the city!" Jake ordered as he hauled his own fighter around.

Something had to be up, superior forces don't just retreat when they are winning....

Klaara was silent for a moment, her eyes closed and her arms crossed, and then when she spoke her voice was fierce and sharp, "By the lord of Heaven and Earth, you make about as much sense as those magicka weirdos. You're playing a game with those people aren't you... GM's, Co-GM's, this is just some fucking game to you people. What happened to all that bullshit about loving them and respecting them? Who would be so sadistic as to vote against the heroes!?"

Then she sighed and shook her head, "Whatever, let's go by plane. I really dislike portal travel."

Removing unit limit.

The Rising Dawn seemed to shimmer suddenly as BlackHarte began to multiply exponentially. The dark swarm of moving black ferroliquid consumed the airship. The open wounds began to sew themselves back together with great thick strands of sticks liquid metal.

Soon the entire ship was coated with a thin layer of the nanite fluid, constantly reforming it's own molecular structure to deflect and redistribute oncoming damage. The hole in Tomoya's old room had vanished within moments, and the ship itself began to run at 110% efficiency as BlackHarte took over control of the ship's computers himself.

The Plasma Cannons suddenly sprung to life and began to unload on the retreating angels. The Rising Dawn's engines kicked into high gear and began to set a course for retreat.

[color=dark orange]Nessaj and Armageddon[/color]

The Chaos Knight slammed his cludgeon against his buckler and shouted toward the angels in the sky, [color=dark orange][/color] He took Armageddon's reigns and forced the fiery steed onward out of the hanger. It was a fast horse that joined the fight in the sky, galloping on a path created of of shadows. Nessaj raised his cludgeon into the sky and let a shadowy darkness form around his weapon until it burned bright red and orange. He turned toward the nearest Angel Fighter and swung hard.

[color=dark orange][/color]

A steam of darkness and fire leapt toward the fighter and smashed it into nothingness, eviscerating the Angel and the machinery into it's component parts. Then the Knight turned around and smashed in the face of another angel, right through the cockpit and all. His cludgeon destroyed all with equal ferocity, an avatar of pure damage. He urged Armageddon ever forward, eager to clash with the main forces on the ground.

He raised his cludgeon and screamed at the top of his fiery lungs, [color=dark orange][/color]

Then he turned his attention toward the new arrivals, the great battleships that clung to the air as if they were suspended by the hand of God. Armageddon stopped, but Chaos Knight forced the steed forward once again.

[color=dark orange]"'Angel of Lighting,' I'm coming for you."[/color]

Kyre Cwanuld

"No!" her grip on Kurumu tightened ever still, the Anti-Mage's voice changed suddenly, "I won't have you going out there... I won't have you in harm's way." In reality she didn't want to be fighting, and that was all. Kyre was fully conscious, her mind was clear and had been for the longest time. Magic only works once on a Prybatian before it becomes ineffective. She had tricked herself easily enough to taking a persona... but she couldn't keep the charade up if it came down to battle, when she had to deploy the null-magic field, or when she got lost in the euphoria of the fight.

Kyre was afraid that there would be casualties not only on the side of the angels, but on the Rising Dawn.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri and co enter the Medium AA

Teri gave a nod to Darren's request; and ran on ahead to her characters. Caim had an Angel-Killer in his hand (thus accosting Moonfire from the wheel and into the Armory); and was mounting up on Angelus when Teri found her way to her creations. With a silent nod from the warrior, the girl found her way upon the dragon, with herself and Ton Ton in tow. A few more checks were asked by the dragon before she began to flap her wings and fly straight into the portal.

Rising Dawn

All was calm upon the Dawn, until a great Red Dragon had found it's way onto the flight deck; carrying several passengers on it's back; several of which were armed with sharp blades.

 

[bluecrimson]

Jake lead the 2 new fighters on his wing and they cut a hole through the melee of enemy fighters, saving the lives of many an Allied pilot. "Typhoon, Tailgate, good to have you! Let's Turn and Burn! AcesHigh, can you provide top cover for the planes we help?"

Something had to be up, superior forces don't just retreat when they are winning....

Tajuh took a close look at the enemy movements. Dozer did have a point: not many forces retreated when they had the advantage unless it served their purposes. This tactic had been used a few times before, but if it were the case... "Dozer, they're going to nuke the area, likely with a high yield. We need to get at least twenty kilometers away, or we're fucked!" He circled in the air, acting as a rallying point for the retreat.

All was calm upon the Dawn, until a great Red Dragon had found it's way onto the flight deck; carrying several passengers on it's back; several of which were armed with sharp blades.

Slindis went up and looked at the Dragon with the allies on it, then made a beeline to Teri, the only one without a weapon. She had blood on her armor for fighting angels that had been foolhardy enough to try taking over the deck, but her undamaged armor attested to her skill. [color=c20000]"You need to get to a safer area. Follow me!"[/color]

 

[bluerocker]

Understood!

Caim helped Teri down from Angelus' back; and the dragon trumpted out; "Where are the main concentration of the forces, Slindis? Caim, and myself are willing to make ourselves as useful as possible. Ton Ton, go with the writer and aid in the foot forces!"

Ton Ton did not need aid from anyone to dismount Angelus, and quickly followed after his Writer with his knife and lantern at ready.
"No problem! Don't worry, Ms. Teri and Ms. Slindis! I know my way around my knife!"

Teri, on the other hand, wrote;

"Hi Slindis! The little green guy's with me!"
