Beyond the checkpoint the city was empty and quiet. A few stray dogs and cats seemed to be running around though.

Vicky sighed and looked at EMily.
She followed the others past the checkpoint and into the empty part of the city. She summoned her knife and tossed it into her right hand.
Code:
"Thanks, you're the best, Blue."
Code:
"Alright, this should be his turf now, so don't let your guard down."
"It's... kinda eerie here... I can't hear almost anything." Sophia stated quietly after a short time walking passed. Sophia nodded at Victoria once she mentioned to keep your head up. "Right."
(would there be anything to smell outis?)

The group would continue walking for a little while without really noticing anything. There didn't seem to be any damage to the city, save a few broken windows in some stores, but that could probably be blamed on looters. EMily or Vicky, or both, would soon see a street name that indicated that they were roughly in the center of the closed off area.
Maasai Mara, Kenya - 12:30PM
Nine minutes had passed, after which the bug ate its cocoon emerging as 3cm taller, and 4cm longer, as well as having a thicker neck, and broader head, especially pronounced near the mandables. Picking up its rifle, the bug and crawled out of its tunnel, walking back to the rhino corpse. There, the bug sat and continued eating away at it, eating rather slowly, most unlike all the other times it had eaten where it gorged itself.
While it ate, the bug thought a few things over, culminating in it having a chage in plans. Stopping with eating and standing up, the bug covered its web with sand, not having a plan to return to check if it had caught anything, then moved to the passenger's side of jeep the two poachers came in. Picking up a duffle bag that laid on the dashboard, deciding that that would be a more effective way to carry things around then just sticking then to its body, the bug opened it, and stuffed its rifle inside. It then pulled the key out of the ignition and pulled off the key hanger, which was a cartoonish-looking blue octopus. After dropping this into the bag as well, the bug closed it and stuck the key in the ignition. With this done, it took to the skies and began flying back to its main burrow, south of where it was currently.
'Wait, we're here already?!' Sophia thought to herself as she heard EMily. "Now that I think about it... shouldn't we be wearing masks or something?" Sophia asked quietly out loud.
"If he uses some kind of chemical weapon, it wouldn't cause too much damage to buildings and such. Maybe we should have asked what it does to people though..." Seras pointed out as she stood in an empty intersection.
"IT TAKES GREAT COURAGE TO MARCH INTO THE HEART OF ENEMY TERRITORY SO BOLDLY. I HOPE YOU RETRAIN THAT COURAGE." came an almost unearthly loud voice from ahead of the group. Out of an ally walked an figure, clad in blood-red armor and trailing a similarly colored mist. "HOPEFULLY YOU SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SEARCH FOR." the figure continued as it marched forward. In addition to the armor, which contained a helmet that obscured his face and distorted his voice, he was carrying a very large sword that was equally sinister in look to the rest of him.
EMily would find it curious that his armor didn't seem to made of metal, but what was inside was almost certainly human. However, these thoughts would surely be cast aside as the same feeling of recognition from before came surging back stronger than ever.
"So, who knows how to use a sword?" Yorick asked the group then.

"Ah, don't worry, I replaced my lungs long ago with ones I am in complete control over, if someone tries to make me choke, I can shut them down." he said in his standard slightly-jolly tone.
Looking at the man, he smiled, "Ah, here he is! Well then, I hope you guys don't mind, this might hurt a fair ammount,"
He then began to slowly overcharge most of the group, a feeling of power surging through them, along with the feeling like someone has slapped you across the face.

Hearing Sophia, the pink-haired girl pulled her bass around and began playing it. The group members would begin to see the air around their bodies shimmer, like the air over a road on a hot day. [color=cc6699]"That should keep us safe."[/color]
She then looked at Yorick and took the guitar strap off her shoulder. She changed her stance, holding the guitar by the neck just above the head like a sword. [color=cc6699]"I can. Sort of."[/color]

Sophia seeing the red bloody knight, the shimmering over everyone, and the plus signs that seemed to be coming out of the people that were getting overcharged (basically an additional shield), Sophia started to think there might have been something in the air. "I don't think it did anything..." Sophia retorted back to bass girl. "Also ow... [small]why does everyone need to yell so much...[/small]" She winced, really starting to feel like after this was all over she'd need to invest in a bit of earplugs.
Samus raised her arm cannon, aiming at the man, adjusting her stance so she'd be more stable.
The armored figure continued to walk toward the group as they made their preparations. He was about 15 feet away when EMily spoke to him, and when she did, he stopped dead in his tracks. "Emily...I can't fathom the odds. But maybe...the gods are kind..." the man said, his tone altering to be less booming. As he stopped and spoke, however, the mist surrounding him continued forward, rising up like a tidal wave to crash over the group. Unfortunately, unless anyone was particularly fast enough to move backward and away from the wave, no amount of protection, magical or otherwise, would shield them.
Seras might have been fast enough, but she was standing toward the front of the group, and was therefore one of the first to be consumed. As the cloud covered her, the group would almost immediately start hearing her muttering in confusion, then screaming.
"Well fuck." Yorick said as there was no way for him to avoid the cloud and he suffered a similar fate.
Anyone consumed by the cloud would experience their greatest fear (I'll leave the specifics of that up to your individual discretion. How much detail you use is also up to you).
Except for EMily, who wouldn't be touched at all. At first a bubble would form around her, and she would be surrounded by the red mist, then a tunnel leading out materialized in front of her.

"Hmmmm...." She didn't like the situation. Obviously, the guy recognized her. She continued to jog her head as to who it might be.
She kept up her defense, and moved forward.
"If you would be so kind, please identify yourself. Who are you?" She said in a firm and projected voice.
