We Are Our Avatars IX: Act V: The Sabotage of the Scandolous Saurian Scoundrels (Open)

[Kirke]

As Ronin began to move, a sharp wave shot against you and you barely manage to sidestep it before launching out your own wave. In the real world, you started to side-step nearly before Ronin began to move, drawing your own blaster and aiming it square at Ronin's chest. You suppress your surprise over the blinding reaction time and calmly say that your blaster isn't set to stun either.

OoC: Actually, a regular bullet wouldn't do much good considering Shara is wearing an armoured vest. It is open, but since she is facing sideways there would still be a solid cover at this point.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The cat mewled sadly.

"Drop the gun. I don't get paid for killing you, but I'm not letting you go." Ronin said as she adjusted her aim slightly so she was now aiming at Sharra's head.

OOC:

Spoiler: Pistol looks like this BTW:

Samus kneeled to gwet a better look and a better shot.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Whoa!" Sophia said as she watched Shara and the mysterious time shenanigans woman move with a blink of the eye. Sophia looked around herself for a moment before concluding that she wasn't relatively close to anyone. Knowing that she would probably get in the way of those two, Sophia opted just to watch for the moment, rubbing her eyes before she continued to watch.

 

[Slenn]

EMily fired.... a red laser, similar to a laser pointer, from one of her fingers and pointed it in various directions around the cat inside the shield, to keep it occupied.

"Stun it now, Samus."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The cat swatted at the laser dot with a paw.

 

[Drakmorg]

Whelp, this is weird.

Vicky muttered to herself as she found herself falling much more slowly than she had expected.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus watched the cat bat at the laser for a few seconds, mesmerised, before shaking her head clear and tazing it.

 

[Kirke]

You idly commen to Ronin that perhaps her main concern right now should be to get out of this alive, since you certainly don't have any reservations killing her.

OoC: On my phone, but I'll get a picture of Shara's pistol for the next post.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The cat flopped over, its head resting on its front paws.

 

[Slenn]

EMily kept the shield up.

"Someone get a box or a container quickly. Look in the garbage bins or something. I don't care what it is, just something to hold this guy."

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia continued to watch squeamishly knowing that if she called out to either, might mean that the other would fire. She thus remained still and just watched, trying to think of happy thoughts just in case.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"You're going to have to pay for this one way or another." Ronin said as she stared at Sharra with her shades on.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus grabbed a relatively clean recycling box, putting the cat inside and closing the lid tight.

Mara Triangle, Kenya - 13:13PM​

Moving east, the bug moved from the grassy area, into the nearby foliage. Through the foliage, the bug approached the outskirts of the Mara conservancy HQ, and climbed into a tree from there it overlooked the activity below. It saw few rangers moving around on the outskirts, few enough that it could put then down with a few shots. It decided against shooting, however, not wanting what others there might be further in the compound to be alerted.

Coming up with a plan of attack, the bug put down its bag on the branch it was perched on, and secured it with webbing, then climbed down from the tree. Moving to one of the trees right next to the outskirt, the bug climbed up it and began spinning a thread. After tying the end of it into a noose, and spun it around like a lasso as it looked to its target, a having a smoke under the shade of the tree the bug was in.

After calculating where the ranger would be by the time the web lasso would reach him, the bug hurled it at the ranger. When the loop of the web lasso going over the ranger's neck, the bug pulled at it to pull the ranger closer to the tree, then began hoisting the ranger up, having no trouble lifting the ranger's weight. Once it had pulled the ranger high up enough, it wrapped its right hand over the ranger's mouth before pulling him onto the branch and biting him with its four fangs and injecting him with the tail stinger, injecting three different types of neurotoxtins. Once the venom had largely paralyzed the ranger, the bug used the same thread it used to pull the ranger up to tie him down, then leapt out of the tree, gliding down towards the ground.

While the takedown had largely been silent, the ranger the bug had pulled up did make a gasping noise when first being pulled towards the tree. This was picked up by an other nearby ranger, which began moving towards the position he heard the noise from, albeit at a leisurely pace. The bug was aware of this, and moved to a position where it could ambush him.

EMily assisted in putting the cat, **quickly**, inside the box.

"Good lord, I feel like I just trapped the world's largest neutrino." With a non-lethal laser she cut a small hole for air to get into the box, but far below an area that the cat could escape from.

Tavish fired all of his remaining bombs into the water. He smiled as he put his finger over the detonator. "I'm gon' ta get ya this time, Nessie..."

He pulled the trigger, causing all 42 of the bombs in the water to detonate at once. The shockwave from the explosion, as well as a large amount of water, would easily reach Sharas ship and the people standing outside of it. Tavish was pushed away by the force of the blast, almost reaching the others.

With your free hand, you reach into a pocket and bring out a credit chip worth fifty credits. With a smirk you flip it towards Ronin, saying that it's a form of payment and enough to buy ten beers. During this, you never take your eyes off your opponent and closely watch her waves, the outisde world almost forgotten.

And in that rather inopportune moment, the outside world very loudly announced it's presence. You get knocked off your feet, landing on all four, and utterly lose your concentration, leaving you confused and splashed in large amounts of water. You keep a grip on your pistol, possibly the only thing to go in your favour.

Spoiler: Shara's gun

Vicky had finally made her way down to the ground.

"Just a whole load of new experiences today."

She said to herself as she turned over and sat up.

"Oh you guys got him. Great. Let's take him to the store before he somehow gets away again."

She paused for a moment before adding,

"You guys think I should break his legs? That'll probably help if he tries to run again."
