We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

[Drakmorg]

Rozalin, seeing the energy ball fly towards her, ceased hovering with her wings and dropped a dozen feet to avoid getting hit, causing the ball to fly over her head and impact a building behind her. Resuming her hover in mid-air, she looked around and noticed that the town was utterly destroyed, and that her attacks seemed to have little to no effect. This is no longer worth my time. She started to fly away from the landing pad and town, firing multiple shots behind her to cover her retreat.

As Caesar jumped onto the Landing Point causing it to shudder, most of the remaining soldiers reeled in horror before remembering their places and raining fire on the creature. "When did these desert scum start experimenting with genetic mutation!" exclaimed the Overseer. He then had an idea and moved next to X-98t raised Eve's head and aimed his shotgun at it waiting for the creature to notice.

Eve meanwhile was shifting her tear-stained gaze between the muzzle of the gun in her face and at the thing that had just arrived.

Ziggs bombs rocked the ascending Landing Point as it got closer to the Carrier.

The Saboteur was about to deal with Rozalin dropping out of sight when she felt a sudden and jarring pain in her back and felt her legs go limp as she cried out. She fell to the bottom of the platform paralyzed from the waste down with Balthier's bullet lodged in her spine. What had happened was with the Overseer moving from where he originally was and the ascension of the landing point, the trajectory of Balthier's bullet had lowered and hit the Saboteur who had moved behind the Overseer to protect him from Rozalin's fire. [sub][sub][sub]Seems kinda ironic considering who she is.[/sub][/sub][/sub]

Rozalin's fire mostly connected with the bottom of the Landing Point but one stray shot went through the hole created by Rex and into the skull of one the soldiers killing him and causing his body to drop through the hole.

X-98t looked at the newly arrived creature and then at the Overseer and where he had his shotgun before finally looking up and judging the distance to the Carrier.

Edit OOC @Trty: I was typing ya know. And waiting for @Drak's action.

 

[Drakmorg]

@trty: Possibly. I do become a bit of an ass when I'm tired. Perhaps I should just go to bed already...

Rozalin had flown to the outskirts of the town, then trudged back to Edgar's castle, too exhausted to simply fly the rest of the way there. The battle had thoroughly worn her out, so she found the closest thing she could to a soft surface and collapsed onto it, falling asleep almost immediately.

OOC: And I'm outta here. G'night folks!

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Drak: I found it amusing, but then again. I'm Nailik.
@Nile: "Ironic considdering who she is"? Now you made me curious.

Balthier frowned upon seeing that he had missed the Overseer once more, though his spirits lifted ever-so-slightly when he saw that he had hit the assailant from the day before. Seeing how both the Overseer and his robotic companion were now distracted by... some manner of mutant and wanting to make good use of the confusion it caused, Balthier lined up his sights on the Overseer's head once more and fired.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Caesar hisses, most of the shots ricocheting off of his shield but a few hit his head, drilling into his thickened skull. He looks about, trying to find Eve. He sees the overseer level the shotgun to her head and roars again, before hacking up acid and spraying it towards the guns chamber, in his maddened state believing death prefferable to capture.

 

[TilMorrow]

The acid that Caesar sprayed for the gun landed on some of the soldiers causing to howl in pain as they continued their fire. The gun itself began melting and the Overseer dropped it to the floor where it melted through and fell towards the ground below, but not before a bit of acid fell onto Eve's arm causing her to scream with pain.

The Overseer gripped his mace and prepared to charge at the creature when he felt sudden force hit him in the chest. "What?" he looked down and saw that Balthier's bullet had been embed in his chest armour plate. He simply laughed and prepared to charge Caesar again when another shot rang out from above and he simply froze before falling backwards off the Landing Point to the ground below.

X-98t was calculating on whether to drop Eve and attempt to escape with the Overseer when he saw him shot twice and fall from the platform. His single eye flashed once as he took in what he saw before it changed to orange as he received new orders and a new designation. Raising his rifle grafted arm and disabled it before automatically unbolting it revealing a humanoid hand made out of silicon. X-98t then reached for the fallen Saboteur and lifted her with his new free hand. Using what little focus she had left the Saboteur formed a circle of purple light beneath Eve, X-98t and herself which then X-98t stamped on launching them into the bowels of the Carrier above.

A soldier stood in the hanger dropped the rifle he had used to execute the Overseer and ran for the control console. As Eve, X-98t and the Saboteur entered the inside of the Carrier he punched two different buttons. The first closed the blast doors to the interior of the Carrier should the Landing Point should be lost. The second one disengaged the magnetic tracking used to raise and lower the Landing Point causing the now floating Landing Point to plunge towards the burning town of Travesty with all soldiers on board falling to their deaths.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Caesar growled in anger, but was forced to accept the loss. Letting out a low keen of sadness, he jumped off the falling platform and glided down, hoping he was aiming for the castle. He passed out from the damage about 10 feet from landing, and crashlanded, before laying there as he did his best to heal.

OoC now im off

 

[Chungus]

What? I hit him and still he stands? Balthier muttered to himself when he noticed his bullet impact, but have no effect. Seeing his mark enter the carrier, Balthier scoffed and rolled down the sand dune once more. Bah. Now I'm not even getting their airship. Time to cut my losses and run then. Getting to his feet, Balthier made his way to what remained of Figaro Castle to seek cover should the carruer ship decide to open fire from above.

OoC: With that, I'm off.
@Nile: Your battles are generally cool, but you seriously take way too long to reply.

 

[TilMorrow]

OOC @Nail: I'll use the group formula from now on which should speed up my reply times.

Within the Carrier the chain of command was being reformed whilst the Saboteur was brought to the Med Bay and Eve was imprisoned in one of the cells. Shortly the Carrier began making it's way away from over the town and towards the desert.

OOC: Now I'm finally gonna sleep.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

OOC: Well this is exactly like last thread. Due to time differances I'm never on when anyone else is. Because of this I will either drop Corvo for a more fast and frenetic character. Most people are here for char dev but since I'm never on and never liked the thing in this RP I much prefer the mixed superpower fights, thats why I'm here at least.

 

[Coppernerves]

OOC:So many posts since I was lats on!

So, my characters approached ziggs and asked him where they are and what he is, but I don't think I got any reaction, I should probably check if people are in a timezone close to the UK before trying to roleplay with 'em.

Anyways, could someone give me another recap, if Ziggs ignored my characters and walked off somewhere, I guess mine could go wandering to try and find someone responsive.

So in short: Anyone here near to the UK time zone? Could any of them give a recap?

 

[Slenn]

Despite having the top of the castle being blown off, there were still plenty of men below the ground that had survived the crumble. The Realm Transporter was safely housed underground.

The airship had at last been completed.
Edgar saw the explosions and knew that lives were lost.
"No one plants a few explosives and gets away with thinking they've defeated Figaro. We are durable, and we never give up. I've survived Kefka, and I most certainly will survive this."

Overnight, he ordered whatever men that did survive in the lower floors to take a rest. And in the morning he made his own speech in front of them.

"My people. Yesterday has taught us a lesson in how hostile the inhabitants are. We may have lost part of our own castle, and we have lost lives in that event. But as long as we have durable hearts, we can adapt in this horrid place. Now are we going to accept defeat so easily?!"

"No!"

"Now then. The enemy is most likely on the move. And we will not have time to prepare gravestones for the newly dead. Let's clean up what we have and rebuild the upper structure into something more steady. Provisions are being gathered by a chocobo team sent back to our own world. I will not have anyone here starve."

And with that Edgar began helping his own men work on restructuring the upper floor.

OOC: And with that, I'm off. I have to teach in about an hour.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: Hi...everybody. No school today, so I've got lots of time to do stuff.

Royce had hid himself for most of the night. Once he was sure the fighting was over, he went about assisting the people that were left in the town as much as he could, putting out fires, pulling people from destroyed buildings, and healing wounds.

 

[Outisakanobody]

So in short: Anyone here near to the UK time zone? Could any of them give a recap?

Uh...there was a fight, most of the town is now destroyed. That's about it.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

@All: Might as well do something as well.

Bullet slowly started to wake up, seeing that she was feeling better. No bloody shoulder and no shrapnel wounds.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Royce continued doing what he was doing, starting at one end of the town and working his way to the other side, toward the castle.

OOC: So, I guess we have the airship, and we know we have to get to some flying city, but does anyone know where it is?
