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

[bluecrimson]

As Tajuh acted as the rally point, he noticed an unconscious woman dressed in all white down in the city. Upon taking a closer look at her, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. Samantha? What would you be doing here? You said you hated the big cities! He landed down there and rushed over to the young woman, lifting her up and placing her in the copilot's seat before quickly taking off again.

 

[bluerocker]

Slindis took a few deep breaths then methodically said in an even tone, [color=c20000]"Teri, I don't know what happened with the ones you wrote about, but what happened to Eberron and all of its inhabitants is not something that can be written off by a offhanded sorry. He may say that he is, but that is of no solace to the hundreds of millions of humanoids that perished. Do not mistake this as any grudge towards you, though: I will be right here should anyone attempt to harm you. After all, you seem to respect the sanctity of life."[/color]

Teri gave a weak smile at the comment towards her, but she continued to write;

"It is safe to say that he is aware of the impact of his actions. I saw him beg the Devil himself to repent in His underworld. I don't know if it will take; as, interestingly enough, Lucifer didn't see it fit to allow someone alive in his domain... Anyway; I don't quite know what you are asking me. Are you asking me to identify the one who penned what happened to your world? Or are you wanting to discuss the ethics of what we have done?"

Slindis relaxed somewhat. [color=c20000]"I wanted to know what type of man he was, and it seems he's not a complete idiot. That can wait until later, however. I'm guessing Caim and Angelus wouldn't want me to stress you out over this, and that writer of mine did see to it that my daughter survived, at least. The ethics of it aren't a large concern right now as well, even if he did curse me from the moment I set foot in Stormreach."[/color]

Teri's frown deepened further when she wrote more;

"I'm sorry to hear that, Slindis... Hmn, you know that we had no idea that any of this could impact all of these lives as it does now? To us it was just a game! We had no idea any of you [u]really[/u] existed, outside of our imaginations... I know that's not really much of a comfort, if only to say that we would have never hurt real people if we knew first hand. In my world, Caim and Angelus are characters in a story! Well, I guess it's no good pushing the issue further... All I am curious about is what happens now."

"That's right! Are we just going to wait here until things cool down again?"

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Time to RTB

Tailgate probably doesn't want to tailgate me...

...Fuck. My plane is kinda slow...

"Dozer copies. All callsigns, don't wait for me. My top speed is 560 kilometers per hour, and I'm currently passing through 300, I'll take me 3 minutes or so to clear the 20 klick radius. Running to the north so I have land just in case. Fair winds pilots!" came the voice of Jake over the radio. He put his Warhawk into a shallow dive, kicking his airspeed up as he traded away his altitude. Levelling out at around 1,000 feet he hoped that he would escape, and the Airship fleet as well, though they had a fair bit less space to cover to get safe.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Out of the fight for now.... It's over.

Akane came through with all the others, and gave Jack a big hug as her first action. A quick moment later and she joined Angelus in scorching angels from the hull, leaving the Knights to do their telefragging thing. When all the Allied fighters began to pull out, she noticed Aftan and Gabrielle were not with them. Igniting her tails once more, she sped into the dying fight, finding them killing an angel fighter.

"Time to go! Everybody else is pulling out!" She called out and the two Knights gave one last strike as they left.

The Angel fighter exploded brilliantly into a million fragments.

Aftan teleported back onto the Rising Dawn's hanger deck, Gabrielle appearing out of the shadows a mere moment later. Akane landed gracefully in the hanger less than a minute later, dusting herself off as the airship began pulling away with the rest of the fleet.

"Aww... I was having fun!" Gabrielle pouted before giving a yelp of glee and glomping Akane's tails.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Akane mused.

Then the speaker system activated.

"Attention all UNIT and Rising Dawn craft... there's a bomb in the Empire State Building... retreat. Go Go Go!"

[HEADING=3]The finale for chapter two~![/HEADING]
(chapter three will begin tomorrow.)

Dark Tomoya
Location: "A soon to be crater."
Time: Afternoon, 4pm. Black skies.

NYC Empire State building, viewing platform.

As Tomoya looked up towards the sky, he could easily see his ships retreating back to the main fleet. Again he looked back towards the ground where no one was. His soldiers and tanks had retreated back into the ships. The air was clean, but about to become filled with more blood and ashes. Flicking the top of the detonators multiple times, Tomoya sighed as he looked at his enemies which were now passing the blast zone. A officer tapped him on the soldier, "Yeah... yeah... lets leave." Tomoya said as he hopped onto the back of a transportation plane's ramp as it took off. Screams echoed as the hostages noticed their fate, "Sorry about this... say hi to Jesus for ME!" Tomoya yelled as he started to laugh once more.

The transportation ship reached almost into orbit. Tomoya flicked the detonator button open and then accessed his communications and made an open channel so everyone could hear him. "Marry Christmas..." He said softly as he pushed the button. The next thing everyone could see was...

The blast took out the whole of New York city.

Tomoya's ship quickly escaped the orbit and began to travel quickly to the Blackhawke. A few of the ships on the heroes side were wiped out, but not many. "And a pinch of... salt." Dark Tomoya smiled as a missile was fired from the Blackhawke and hit dead in the center of the now New York crater. The rage virus surrounded the crater but dared to not go any further.

The communication with Tomoya was cut after he left with a crazy laughter.

Riki & Kud.
Location: Rising Dawn (In Tomoya's previous room), Outside of the NYC crater/Blastzone.
Time: Afternoon, 4:10pm. Raining Ashes.

Riki and Kud were inside of the room. It smelt of air freshener as though someone came in before them. As the shock-wave from the nuke blast came through the pack of ships and the Rising Dawn rocked the couple were holding each other on the bed, Kud kept her eyes closed trying to forget the nightmare that was today, she was obviously impacted. Riki on the other hand kept his eyes open, determined to catch the guy who did this to his lover. For now he stroked her hair as he trembled within his arms.

Shaun
Location: A fancy hotel in Perth, Western Australia. The (Un)Real world.
Time: Evening, late 6pm. Heat settling down.

As Shaun finished reading everything which was going on, his jaw was left open out of the sheer amount of horror which has happened.

Millions were killed and yet millions were still going to be killed.

Shaun did the only thing he could do, pray and wait. Getting a bottle opener he opened a bottle of strawberry and lime cider and began to drink it as he kept looking at the dread post.

"It's up to them now." He sighed.

 

[bluecrimson]

[HEADING=3]Dimension: Avatar Adventures Universe[/HEADING]
Location: Lucifer's Office | Hell
Time: Torture Time

As Devon sat in the office and tried writing, nothing could come to him. No matter what the concept was, it seemed to slip from his mind the moment he put his fingers to the keyboard. It was no surprise, considering Tomoya had just wiped New York City off the map. The complete inability to write anything of use quickly got to the man, so he just typed out what he knew - the facts. Over 22 million dead in what is the worst single attack on American soil, nation reels in shock as its leaders begin mobilizing for war.
[hr]

[HEADING=3]Dimension: Avatar Adventures Universe[/HEADING]
Location: Airship Rising Dawn | Ruins of New York City | New York | U.S.
Time: Sunset

Tajuh

Tajuh landed back on the deck in the Rising Dawn to see the massive aftereffects of the blast from his cockpit. "Such a high yield. At least I managed to get one person out of that disaster." He turned around to check on the woman garbed in white that he had picked up. "Now, let's get you out of the cockpit and hopefully you won't go off the deep end when you find out what happened here." The young man lifted the unconscious woman out of the fighter and began moving inside, wrapping the red scarf around her right arm.

[hr]

Melethia

Since she was right next to the window, Melethia got a front-row seat to the blast. Seeing the bomb devastate New York City shook the young girl up as she tried not to think about the countless people that must be dead from the blast. "I don't care what they are, those Khyber-taken kinslayers are going to pay for every drop of blood lost there with a gallon of their own. Wheathair, Silverblade, don't get in my way when I come in contact with them next - unless you enjoy bathing in guts and liquefied bones." The intensity of this young girl's anger was incredible, and far greater than one would expect from anyone.

[hr]

Slindis

Slindis' chat with Teri and Ton-Ton was interrupted by the blast, and the reamining souls from Red Mage's Die were silent for the first time since she had found them. The silence hung in the room for a few minutes before Slindis spoke again. [color=c20000]"Tira, guide their souls to the afterlife. It will be many, but they're all on the way to be cleansed by the Silver Flame. Judge not too harshly those that were wicked, instead let them redeem themselves through toil under your watchful gaze. And may those that endeavored to do good in any god's name join your side on the Celestial Plane."[/color] Although the sight of the blast shook her to her core, she had to keep up a strong front in front of Teri and Ton-Ton. She looked out at the blast zone to see the second bomb impact the area and turned her back to the two.

[color=c20000]"And when we send the Fallen ones in front of you, engulf them in the wrath of your purifying inferno as they are cast into the abyss."[/color] Teri could see tears roll off the paladin's cheeks.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

Deep seeded anger. I'm guessing she had some issues growing up.... Rugal thought as the city smouldered in the distance.
Many things raced though his mind, How far that Teenage Demi-God had come since last they met, how much would a Re-construction contract set him back, how this would affect his ability to get what he wanted from Slindis.
I need to contact my men back at AIM, with a threat like this racing around the world, we can charge any price we want! He thought, it was a good day to be a Arms Dealer.
Getting back into character, He rested a comforting hand on Melethia's shoulder and said "We will stop them...we have to..."

David West

David for the most part was unaware of the Nuke, even back at the subway, He was too engrossed in pain to even notice Tomoya was even there!
So he and Fionn were rather... surprised when the nuke went off.
"....Wait a sec....they're retreating....what the fu-"
Boom
So David and Fionn watched the city burn as David called Richardson, still awe-stuck by the blast.
"...Richie....I don't have a One-Liner for this....Call in your men, we're done here..."

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Tailgate and Ba'erth watched as the city burned. For the first time since the battle had started, Tailgate was without a smile.

Ba'erth couldn't believe his eyes. He'd just watched as millions of people had been disintegrated in a single second.

Tailgate pulled her tracking tag off and threw it back into the missile bay where the floor opened and it dropped out. SOU was after them for some reason, and as much as New York was a tragedy, it was a chance to fake her death.

As far as the SOU knew, tailgate had died that day.

 

[Ninjamedic]

Valiant Bridge, shortly before the destyrction of New York.

Richardson observed the chaos below in New York. Seeing the infinitely re-spawning forces and the emerging fleet, he soon came to the realization that the battle was unwinnable at this point. "Get the wings back, we're getting out now while we can." He switched on the comm.

"Engineering?"
"Yes Sir."
"Is the Drive ready?"
"Its Ready Commander"
"On all carriers?"
An officer cut in. "Sir, we never tested it, we have no idea i-"
"We lost New York, I'm not losing this fleet. Understood?"
"......Yes Commander"
"Recall the Wing now." The comm cut in as the Heroes warned of the impending destruction.


"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!"

"Attention all UNIT and Rising Dawn craft... there's a bomb in the Empire State Building... retreat. Go Go Go!"

"This is the Commander, Retreat is already in progress, we're sending co-ordinates to our next staging area if you wish to join us. " He switched off the comm, turning to overlook the setup on the flight deck. Despite the chaos around them, fighters were being landed and returned to their hangars in record time.

"All hands, brace for impact." A brief flash engulfed the area just before the explosion, when the area cleared, the fleet was gone. "Sir, we're over the Atlantic."

The crew could now see the detonation of the nuke. "He did it...... He actually did it......." "I'll be in my office of I'm needed." As he entered the room and sat down, his phone rang.

"...Richie....I don't have a One-Liner for this....Call in your men, we're done here..."

"Already did West. " He pulled out a bottle of Scotch from the desk. "Already did"

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

nvm

 

[bluecrimson]

While Tajuh was carrying the woman, he shook his head at what happened. No matter how many times I see the aftermath of an attack like that go off, it's never easier to think about those that fell. Maybe that's a good thing: if I stopped caring, I wouldn't be much better than the ones commiting the attacks

When he arrived in his very clean and unpersonalized room, he noticed that the woman was stirring. Wanting to give her a bit of space, he took a seat at the small desk in the room and sat in the chair. "You're a lucky woman, you know that?"

 

[Rose WhiteCloak]

Rose's eyes flickered open. She felt the comfort of a bed under her. It was then she realised this wasn't her room. Her eyes widened and she jumped in shock, only to fall off the bed. She hit the floor and stayed there for a few seconds before standing up. She searched the room warily until she saw a man. Her eyes widened and she backed up against the wall and she shouted "Where Am I?!" She looked towards the door and shouted again "Where have you taken me?!"

Rose's eyes flickered open. She felt the comfort of a bed under her. It was then she realised this wasn't her room. Her eyes widened and she jumped in shock, only to fall off the bed. She hit the floor and stayed there for a few seconds before standing up. She searched the room warily until she saw a man. Her eyes widened and she backed up against the wall and she shouted "Where Am I?!" She looked towards the door and shouted again "Where have you taken me?!"

He sighed. "You need to calm down for a minute. Right now, you're on board the Rising Dawn. I found you in the streets of New York City, and you'd be dead right now had I not picked you up." He made sure to keep his space, although the high-tech door of the room was closed. It was more than understandable for her to react the way she was, so he made sure to not do anything threatening.

"I don't know how you had gotten so far through the attack without being caught in the crossfire, but you're one of the lucky few New Yorkers that got out of that hellhole." He opened the blinds to the window, revealing a burning Manhattan dominated by a mushroom cloud.

 

[Rose WhiteCloak]

Rose stared at the wreck that was Manhattan. She tried to speak but her words choked up. She sat down on the bed and after a few moments turned to the man once more and asked "What now?" "What am I supposed to do?"

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

snip

snop

The door suddenly burst open and 3 men rushed in, guns up.

"Nobody move! Where are the rogue operatives?"

 

[Rose WhiteCloak]

Rose screamed falling to the ground with her hands on her head. She looked up to see three men pointing guns at her and the man. She asked shakily "W-What do you want?"

 

[bluecrimson]

snip

snop

The door suddenly burst open and 3 men rushed in, guns up.

"Nobody move! Where are the rogue operatives?"

Tajuh calmly stood up, unfazed by the threat. "Now I don't know who you think you are, but you're going to just turn around right now if you have a brain cell between the three of you."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David West

"Already did West.....Already did...."
"Thank god for small blessings, huh?...." David Retorted as the fleet moved away from the blast zone.
"...Don't think I need to tell you to keep an eye out for Tomoya, Keep us posted, West out." He finished as he returned inside from the flight deck, tried from the battle that raged.

Rugal

After several minutes of staring at the inferno, Rugal broke the ice by saying "Come on then...Lets find Slindis, She'd be worried about you."
As he lead her though the halls, he began to wonder about those mem they encountered before the blast, they weren't UNIT or Tomoya's men.
And they might still be here, Still the Preacher that followed then should be able to take them, allowing him to remain in cover.
Why can't he just bother someone else? I'm certain that the many other strange people on this ship should give him hours of fun...
