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

[Roamin11]

"The adjustments are all done" Said Miss Glados coming out from a small metallic shaft wiping black sludge off her left cheek "We should be ready to go when you're ready Shrike" she said skipping back to her post.

"How are we suppose to fly out of here! We are underground! I can't FALCON PAWNNCH our way out of bedrock!"

"Easy" Said the Shrike holding up his hands to try to calm everyone "Everything is under control." He went over gave Meiling a brief hug to welcome her back and went over to the console.

"CAN JOO FIND MY EMEWRALDS ON DAT!" Yelled Nipples mouth foaming behind the Shrike.

"Nope but I can do this" The Shrike pressed the big red block. Instantly the sound of stone on stone, metal on metal, rasping and grinding made everyone cover their ears. But soon the noise of the grinding stopped and was replaced with a the sound of a hydraulic cylinder pushing, and the feeling of going up.

Soon the ceiling over their head opened and they could see sky above them. But the sky looked like it was on fire, dark clouds of smoke silhouetted in red and oranges. As the fortress rose higher and higher till they had a fine over look of the surrounding area. The Mojave desert was now a war zone. The Zerg infestation wasn't only contained in the ground beneath, but a battle between human forces and the (vastly superior in my opinion) horde of the Swarm was raging all round them. In the skys fighter jets where chasing down mutalisks, napalm bombers where spewing flaming rain onto clusters of Zerg. Ultralisks where smashing through human fortified positions allowing the lesser predators to swarm in and kill the marines.

"This doesn't bode well for us at all" Said Steam Ryan from beside Meiling as he looked out over the colliding forces.

"I don't know but if we want answers" said the Shrike, he looked perplexed as he turned to the east "I think we should go there... I'm sensing, a organic network of minds, a shared consciousness that is.. Massive" pointing far to the east they could see a mountain, but it was pulsating, and was purple in hue, even from far off you could see strange creatures creeping all along its outside scuttling in and out of small pores.

"I'm creeped out!" Miss Glados looking all around her.

Spoiler: hmmm

plot... plot... starcraft.... infesation of earth... large scale invastion..... Why?.... humans for kerrigan's plans..... some relic..... I dunno I'm going to play this by ear but it's somethign to do while I refine an idea, unless someones got a better idea, which I'll gladly scrap this in seconds!!!

WELCOME:BACK:ISSAC

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Meiling folded her arms and stepped forward. "Well? Are we goingto stand around here and wait for them to get us? Or FIGHT?!" She said. I wonder if Sakuya-san is okay...

Nipples looked out at the swarms of bugs and pointed to the mountain. "I think the Emmerawlds are there... I can FEELZ it! WE MUST HURRY!"

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

EDIT: Dammit, I got ninja'd by like half an hour! DAMMIT!

"So, we've got two choices!" Captain Falcon began. "One, we can use my ship, Big Blue, to fly directly to the mountain, or we can fight our way through!"
"I don't like our prospects of fighting through, even if we had the firepower..." Miss Glados said in a low voice.

As if to drive home the point, a human tank blew up in the raging battle below. But, the adventurers heard a rumbling behind them, and turned to see human reinforcements! The Australian Army had heard the call, and deployed the 1st Armoured Brigade to help out against the swarm. A regiment of M1A2 Abrams Tanks, 2 regiments of M3 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and 3 regiments of Australian Light Armoured Vehicles (ASLAV's) drove up in perfect formation, stopping infront of the adventurers. The Brigade commander, a Brigadier (funnily enough)popped the hatch of his command Bradley. "You guys gonna fight with us? Looks like we're gonna need all the help we can get, so we can help them!" He said as he pointed to the battlefield below. Captain Falcon jumped onto the nearest tank, making a heroic pose. "We shall help save the day! FOR GREAT JUSTICE! TAKE OFF EVERY ZIG!"

 

[Roamin11]

The Shrike went over to one of the M1A2 tank, he banged on the side of it. "Get out!" he commanded as he jabbed his hand into the tank Agent Smith style. The tank crew scrambled out only seconds before the whole tank was engulfed in the quicksilver.


The tank began to radiclly transform. The tank grew four legs slowly lifting itself up, shaking its metalic hide. The tank became a four legged quicksilver on chrome panther, on its back where two rail guns. The Shrike smiled he looked at its frictionless claws, its serrated maw. The Shrike walked up to it in his metal form attaching himself to the under belly of the beast.

The Shrike/Panther Tank, leapt over the majority of the armoured unit charging in stomping on the Zerg forces. A Ultralisk caught sight of the Shrike and charged at him. The metalic panther looked at the oncoming foe and fired one of the rail guns. The Shot penetrated the sturdy front plate of the ultralisk's defence plate, the creature fell sliding till it was a foot away from the killing machine that was the Shrike. The Predator Tank (yeah that's its new name) let out a mecha godzilla roar and ran forward to pounce on another Ultralisk.

Ryan snorted "Such machinery is not for a gentleman of my calibre" Ryan pressed a button on his cane. A steam punk flyer came from Las Vegas hovering above Ryan for a moment till Ryan stepped once to the left. Then a heavy Steam Punk Mech dropped from the flyer, Ryan stepped strapping himself in. Inserting the Tesla Orb into the mech's core and the Steam Punk engine roared to life. A small cloud of steam and smoke errupted from the two exhaust pipes sticking from the back of it. "Cheers!" said Ryan as the Mech began to march forward, its brass and wooden glory. Ryan reached his arm into the right sleeve of mech grasping onto a crank handle. As Ryan began to slowly turn the crank the minigun on the right arm slowly began to spin, as Ryan's spinning increased the minigun roared to life sending hot lead into attacking Roaches and Hydralisks. A cluster of Mutalisks flew over head of Ryan's giant mech, Ryan pulled down a heavy brass switch. When the connection was made two lightening rods extended from the back of the mech, the Mutalisks were confused but before they could even imagine what would happen lightening arced from the rods and into the swarm, electricity jumped from muta to muta electrocuting them they fell to the ground dead. But the killer power of Ryan's mech wasn't done. The two Lightening rods where then encased in a cannon like casing, soon the lightning rods were on a rotating base, and the cannons where mounted on the shoulders of the mech looking forward. The cannons began to charge, filling with blinding energy, Ryan reached over and flipped another switch, and two pillars of blue energy fired from the cannons hitting a cluster of Zerg units. They all twitched as electricity danced over their body. They fell over dead, their bodies smoking. Ryan continued forward towards the hive of the Zerg with the armoured division behind him.

Meiling scoffed at the Shrike and Ryan?s sad wussing out and jumping in giant death machines. She clenched her fist and took a deep breath in, held it for a moment, then slowly let it out. Meilling repeated the process closing her eyes this time and trying to block out the sounds of the battle, the distance explosions, gun fire, the alien noises.

"AH FUCK IT!" Said Meiling throwing all caution to the wind, clenching her fists she charged forward into the horde of monsters. She was fearless, these creatures where nothing to some of what she has seen. Leaping over the closest creature as it spewed acid at her, she slammed her elbow down on its back cracking the shell open, pulling out the slimy creature within and tossing it away. Her warrior senses tingled, and she grabbed a section of the falling beasts shell, holding it up as a shield she kept her self safe from the poisonous spines of some horrific beast. She threw the shell like a Frisbee, impaling it into the creatures serpent like body she leapt forward kicking the shell all the way through creature cutting in half. Meiling allowed a small smile to creep across her face as she walked away from the fallen creature, but to Meiling's surprise half of the creature reached out grabbing her leg, trying to pull her towards it's biting maw. Meiling didn't flinch, twisting in the creature's grasp her other foot came flying towards the creatures face, exploding on impact. Meiling then saw a gigantic beast with four bladed pincers and a spiked head plate. "OH YEAH THIS IS WHAT I WAS MADE FOR!!" Grinned Meiling madly running towards the towering monster. Taking a massive leap she flew over head the battle field and onto the back of the giant monster. The creature bucked, and did its best to try to flip Meiling off, but she wasn't able to be removed from its back. She kicked the sides of the beast hard, and again harder, with the second kick (which could put a hole in the Abram tanks) the creature submitted to Meilings control. "FORWARD MY STEED!" She yelled as the Ultralisk ran forward swinging its four scythe like arms scooping up Zerg and cutting them in half. "YEEE HAAA" She cried out as her and her new best friend rode off into the bulk of the horde.

Spoiler: AA Drinking game

while we are doing this zerg battle dirnk every time you read the word creep

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Captain Falcon opened the hatch of the tank he was standing on. "Hey guys! I'm your new gunner!" he said as he dropped into the tank. The tank commander looked puzzled, then drove on into the battle. Music started up from a random tank, blaring on loudspeakers for all to hear.

<youtube=oQs48dvebck>

The tank commander grinned at the music. "If War is Hell, then we are surely the GODDAMNNED LORDS OF HELL!!! Target sighted, and FIRE!"

"FALCON PAWNCH!" Screamed Captain Falcon, sending it down the barrel. The tank rocked backwards from the blast of awesome power as the FALCON PAWNCH rocketed through the zerg horde, killing hundreds of Zerglings in its path to an Ultralisk. The FALCON PAWNCH hit the Ultralisk and exploded, leaving only a patch of scorched ground and a few bits of blown up zerg. A cheer went up from the whole Armoured Brigade at the destruction caused. The tank commander gave an order across the entire radio network. "All units! Form on me and follow! WE ARE GOING TO CARVE THROUGH THESE BASTARDS LIKE VEGIMITE ON BUTTER!"

The Armoured Brigade formed up and roared as one, Cannons shredding Hydralisks, Machine gun fire decimating zerglings and banelings, and Captain Falcon's Tank leading the charge into the heart of the swarm.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

As Meiling rode her way down on her Ultralisk, decimating all the smaller Zerg below her with her mighty steed, Nipples was wildly punching his way through them, killing them with punches to the face, which broke through their shells, with his ROCK HARD FIST NIPPLES. "HURRY GUYS! TO THE EMMERAWLDS!"

 

[Roamin11]

The Heroes were now the spear head, cutting through the Swarm's offensive line, but despite their efficiency in killing the horde they were soon surrounded on all sides by the Zerg. The offensive juggernaut like Meiling, Ryan, and The Shrike had to fall back, keeping close to the tank Brigade.

Meanwhile

The Queen of Blades sat in the middle of her make shift war room in the heart of the Swarm that had infested the heart of New York. The Hive was still being secured but all of her elite units were here and able to crush any and all military operations against her.

"So where are we on finding the artefacts I spoke of earlier?" she said speaking to her advisors and generals. All were infested humans, some geniuses, others victorious war lords, a few seemed utterly out of place.

"Thus far all chaotic artefacts seem to be eluding our search, and we have had no new Intel on the master artefact, but we should have some fresh Intel within a few days." Said one human that at one time may have been a intelligence officer but now was a pulsating mass of tissue with strange umbilical?s attaching him to the hive walls.

The Queen of Blades scowled, her occupation of the Human home world was going to cost her but if she could acquire the artefacts she would have the power to destroy anything, and rule everything. She looked around to the council she had created for herself, she could have easily taken over this whole planet by herself but having other minds (even if they were incompetent sometimes) helped keep her powers reserved for when she needed to use them, and she could feel in the days to come she would need them.

"And how goes our destroying of the earth's defence forces?" Said the Queen with a cruel smile, she knew her swarm would flatten the earths defence forces, she expected that earth would be hers within days.

"All is going well except for in certain key areas" Said one infested human stepping forward. He hardly looked infested at all, but that was mostly because the power armour was wearing. His black and red T-45d power armour contained a currently mutating mess. The man took a deep breath mask built into the helmet hissed inward sounding sickly.

"Australia, Britain, certain parts of America, and China seem to be putting up a good defence against our forces." he said another sickly intake followed this time with raspy exhale "but it seems as though in the Mojave there is a force of humans who are not only keeping us at bay but is managing a successful counter attack, our predictions show they will be within striking distance of the hive by within hours." with that the creature coughed, grey goo leaking from the mask.

The Queen of blades was taken aback a moment, then smiled "Good Good" she cackled. She pointed the the man in the power armour "Go grab a Mutalisk and fly over there you will personally be stopping this counter offensive, your failure is not acceptable!" she said

"Yes my queen" with that the man in power armour left the chamber, it would only take a few minutes for him to arrive at the hive, and then he would have a hour or so preparing defences.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

"OK GUYS! WATCH THIS! I SHALL SOLVE THIS PLOT DILEMMA THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW!" Captain Falcon shouted as he jumped up and out of his tank. He spotted the biggest, ugliest Zerg, the leader, over to his left. Captain Falcon then jumped up into the air, nearly 100 meters high and came screaming down at it. He began his signature move, pulling back his PAWNCH-ing arm and winding up.

"FALCON!"

The Zerg looked up to see the mad Captain descending from the sky directly at him, charging a FALCON PAWNCH! It began to utter a single phrase. "OH SHI-"

"PAWNCH!"
Captain Falcon hit the Zerg head on, completely obliterating it and every zerg in a 50 meter radius. Every other Zerg present shuddered as their leader and a good chunk of the Zerg force were killed near instantly. The Zerg instantly turned on each other, seeing themselves as more of a threat than the humans. The Human forces used this to their advantage, with Ryan, Meiling, Captain Falcon and Shrike leading the renewed charge and mop up.

___/*o^o*\___

As dusk fell on the battlefield, so ended the Great Battle of the Mojave. The saved US military forces amounted to a full Combined-Arms Division, complete with fighter and bomber support from the nearby Edwards Air Force Base. Captain Falcon made his camp with the brave tank crew of his commandered Abrams, waiting for the other Adventurers to return from their sectors of the battlefield.

 

[Orinon]

Ryan was battling hordes of Zerg; his Sword was very useful especially since the Zerg's tactics involved close combat. The only problem was occasionally a Random Zerg would lunge and throw off his tempo. After a rather extensive Combo he had managed to clear some space. He took the time to scan the battlefield he noticed how empty his area was, even acknowledging the amount of carnage he caused there should be a lot more Zerg.
At this he scanned the nearby hill to see that the Zerg had pulled a large number of their forces from Ryan's section to assist in the battle against the shrike.
The shrike was surrounded there were so many Zerg that he had Disconnected from the Predator Tank Just to spread out his attacks more.
Ryan looked around, there were barely any Zerg in his field they were all on the hill, the shrike, His silver Body clearly contrasted against the black storm clouds in the sky, at the top of the hill, his head just above everyone else, and the highest thing.
He looked at the Tesla coil atop his cane and smiled.
He raised his cane, the coil Began to spark and glow with power. A bolt shot out the coil, a cloud appeared to absorb the bolt.
"HEY SHRIKE," Ryan screamed across the field, the shrike Turned toward Ryan
"HEADS UP." he warned and not a millisecond to soon as the lightning bolt shot down and hit the shrike, The Shrikes body began to spark and crackle.
"Hmm that?s strange you'd think 1.21 gigawatts would have more punch."
Eight More bolts thundered, hitting the shrike as one.
Electricity Arced off his body, circuits ran between his spikes
"OH YEAH" Yelled the Shrike, his Voice echoed with power.
Ryan then watched as the Murderous and Electric Monstrosity rampaged across the hill, don?t ask how but Ryan was certain he could see the glowing red eyes full of Murderess intent.

"I don't know when," Ryan began to sing
"I don't know how,
But I know something's starting riiight now
Watch and you'll see
Someday I'll be
Part of yooouuur"
He threw his arms in the air
WORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLD"
Lightning flashed at the last lyric purely by coincidence but definitely dramatic.

Spoiler: OOC

No Theres no reason I'm referencing Little Mermaid but I thought I'd do something silly to offset How dark and intense the last few lines were.

 

[Roamin11]

The Predator tank stood on a hill far from where the Shrike was having his charged killing spree doing a recon mission. Scanning the far off Hive the Predator tank could feel the organic mind network; all it needed was to find a way for the Shrike to get close enough to figure out how to tap into it.

Meanwhile

Miss Glados sat in the back of one of the "Battle Busses" beside England.

"So who are you?" Said Miss Glados looking intently at him her purple and orange eye analyzing him.

 

[Orinon]

The Zerg were now Focusing all their effort on taking out the Shrike. They had Very few option unfortunately, but there was one option there was one Platoon of units that could Deal massive amounts of Damage.
On the Hill
The shrike was Rampaging across the hill, the Zerg were So numerous that at least 20 were brushing, but when Your enemy has 1.21 gigawatt flowing through him, and his skin is composed of razor blades, Razor wire, Scalpels, you really don't want to be touching him.
"YEAH! GET SOME!, GET SOME! HAHAHA."
The shrike then released a bit of electricity zapping and barbecuing All the Zerg within 20 feet of him
"I AM UNSTOPPABLE!"
suddenly he noticed that the Zerg had disappeared, All he could see were some odd green glowing shapes.
He decided to use a zoom feature On his optics, As he zoomed he saw that the shapes were swarms of odd insect like creatures That had glowing green sacs on it's back.
"Oh crap it's Banelings.

Spoiler: Some music to describe the silliness

The Shrike fought horde after horde of Banelings rushing to the Shrike eager to explode and cause splash damage.
Ryan noticed this Peculiar development
"Well This is a spectacular sight, but I doubt the shrike is in trouble.
suddenly the predator tank was demolished by a horde of Banelings.
"On the Other Hand I never turn down a chance to practise my skills."
Ryan's blade began to glow red, he ran towards the Shrike slahing his blade in diagonals with every hit, the faster he swung and the blade grew longer and it's light became Brighter.
The shrike soon saw a red light Working it's way up the hill, disintegrating the Banelings, with a glowing blade.
"Charge of the Dragon." said Ryan

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Meiling looked down at the small creatures, whose teeth could barely even puncture her Youkai body and laughed. "Really? This is our enemy right now? Alright!" She jumped high into the air and raised one of her feet above her head, as she came down, it started burning with rainbow energy, like a freakin' comet. she brought it down, hard, onto the ground, which created a huge shockwave the obliterated practically every Baneling around her.

Nipples was busy punching his way straight to their destination. "JUFF RITLE BOGS TUUK MAH EMMERAWLDS!"

 

[Orinon]

Ryan's charge led him to Meiling and Nipples
"So many Zerg, if we could destroy the creep tumors we could easily kill the Zerg, there workers and building would die. but for that I'd need some sort of radar, hey Nipples you got an Emerald Radar, hand it over I need to modify it. Meiling cover help me find a safe place for me to work. modifying the Radar will take 20 minutes.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Nipples looked at Ryan for a moment and tilted his head. "Emmerawld Radar? What the hell is that?!" Said Nipples, who was fresh from Sonic 3 and not the newer games. "EMMERAAAAWWWLDS!!!!" He shouted once more, charging ahead.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Captain Falcon looked up from the campfire he and the Australain troops were sitting around. "My Adventurer's sense is tingling!" He said as he jumped up and lept into a Land Rover ute. As he started the Land Rover, a random soldier walked over. "SIR! It's dangerous to go alone, take this!" he said as he presented Captain Falcon with a small Kitteh. The radio in the Land Rover played the Zelda item get tune as Captain Falcon held the Kitteh above his head. He then sped off towards the last sounds of battle where Nipples, Ryan and Meiling were.

Captain Falcon pulled the ute up next to the 3 heroes as they were fighting through one of the last packs of zerglings and banelings. "Need a ride?" Captain Falcon asked them.

My guess is that it was vacation time, sorta like how the forum died down during Christmas.

"Captain Falcon, You couldn't have chosen a better moment to show up Do you have a radar with you by chance?, I'll explain later first we need of get out of here," Ryan then turned to Meiling and Nipples.
"Meiling, Echidna, WE'RE LEAVING, so get in the car."
Meiling Gave ryan a pouty face
"But Ryan, I was kicking ass."
"Play times over Meiling we're leaving NOW."
"I liked him more when he was fun." grumbled Meiling
"Are ma emmerawlds in dat cah?" asked Nipples. climbing into the back.

Spoiler: OOC

Anyone mind If I use My box weapon (The storm serpent thing)

 

[Isaac The Grape]

Isaac sat in his IT class typing maddly away at his forum post.

"Gah! I haven't contributed anything for ages. I've been busy on the MSO culutre forum."

Isaac noted the lack of a spellchecker on the school computers.

"Fuck, my spell fails! They will be noticed!"

Meanwhile.

The sound of 4,000 creeping people creeping over a landscape inorder to creep up on their enemies provided a very convinant way for Isaac to make a Minecraft joke and start the drinking game.

Ivan had vollonteared to be the reprisentive for the recently re-named Netural Evil 4,000 (NE4K for short) and had just finished downing four beers.

"Da! This will work!" Ivan said, quoting the TF2 Heavy.

The Operative scanned the horizon.

"I see our allies" he said to Isaac. "They are currently decimating that Zergling horde."

"Shall we move in with the Armour?" Asked Tibalt DeCapulet. One of the many anti-heroes that Quote and Curly had freed.

"Wait a little longer Tibalt" said Isaac. "There shall be a minor plot development soon. In the meantime, prepare to move out"

So they did. Because Isaac was late for English.

 

[Orinon]

Ryan suddenly remembered he had his own vehicle.
Upon memory he got out of the car and did his best taxi cad hail, a signal to his Airship to release his Cycle.
it landed right in front of Ryan. he mounted the Cycle and revved up the engine
"Captain, we must part ways for now I'll cover an escape, and get the Shrike, We'll rendezvous at the base."
"But Ryan those Banelings are all over the hill they'll blow up your bike in no time."
"Yeah they would If I stay on the ground, let me show you exactly what kinda of Cycle I have."
with that the jets that aimed toward the back of the vehicle, rotated changing direction, the Air Cycle then Lifted into the air. with a bit of handling Ryan could fly up the hill pick up the shrike and gt the hell out of this ruined plain
