We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

[CmmdrRosh99]

The fox continued to growl at Archimedes before teleporting ontop of my head, resting. I sigh, not really trying to give a damn.

Once the noise of screams reached my ears, I unbelted my sword, but didn't move just yet.

 

[Chungus]

OoC @FPS: Oh. Nope. That they are not.


The duo continued making their way towards the noise, brushing past the panicked citizens as they went. The man moved at a slower pace as he'd like to alow for the girl to keep up with him. As they came within sight of the carnage Mercer and the mutant thrals were creating, the man came to a halt almost instantly, holding out his arm to signal the girl to stop also. Looking around, he pointed to a building that presumibly had been abondoned. Seeing where the man had pointed to, the girl nodded, knowing what was expected of her. Entering the building, the girl closed the door behind her and went to search for a place to hide.
With the girl as safe as posible given the circumstances, the man continued on, the tip of his sword scraping over the ground. The eye on the hilt blinked, as if it had sprung to life.

Archimedes looked confused at the fox. "Hey that thing was down there. But now it's up there... I'm getting out of here" He said going towards where every one was

 

[DotSlash]

Rex, hearing the screams, sighs a bit. [color=008888] Of course Mercer found a way up here before us... The group can handle themselves... I need to keep my eyes on what's important for now. [/color] He turns back toward the area the group was at before and pulls his hood over his head, his gasmask falling out of it. He scoops it up and puts it on as he walks.

[hr]

Yukino's ears twitch as the screaming reaches her ears. She grits her teeth a bit as she gets up, putting a hand on the hilt of her sword. [color=bb66bb] "I can never get a good sleep around these idiots..." [/color] She takes a momentary glance at Riven before taking to the rooftops, going toward the sound.

As a great number of the people in the street turned to flee to the intersection, the direction of the military base, Mercer leapt high over their heads and landed in a crouch in front of them. He grinned sadistically as his right arm formed into a blade, the other into a whipfist. The ones at the front tried to stop, terror etched on their faces, but they were driven on by those behind them. Mercer's blade glinted, then he charged into them, the blade whirling around in great broad arcs and the whip flailing and snapping. Blood and body parts flew everywhere as he cut the unfortunate people apart like a lawnmower. The ground beneath them became slick and gummy with entrails and gore.

OOC: So, how is everyone liking my less warm, friendly side? >

 

[FPSfanatic]

Bryce came upon the scene just as Alex ripped into the running crowd, he grinned and charged into the rear of their remains, blending his voice and changing his facial features to a young aristocrat.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

I momentarily catch Yukino's glance seeing her take off. I shrug, idly following the screams. If someone is causing pain, then they aren't strong enough.

The fox continued to rest on my head.

 

[Random berk]

OOC: Just a heads up, I can't really stick around for a full battle tonight. Maybe a few passes. I really have to sleep early tonight.

 

[Slenn]

OOC: @Random. Well, it's certainly not going to give him a good reputation that's for sure.

<color=red>"Let's go back and group up. You got those gas masks from Eirin, in case we go in there?"
"Sure do. Doctor's orders."

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Berk: Me gusta. I have taught my minion well!

Having reached the scene, the man stopped and looked around, looking the mutants over, unfazed by either their grotesque appearance, or the gory scene. "Mindless beasts..." He slowly moved his sword out infront of his, the tip pointed downwards, then jumped towards a cluster of infected, reaching a large height. When near, as if propelled, he moved towards them. Moving his sword overhead, he lashed out of the infected, sweeping diagonally from right to left in a wide arc.

 

[Slenn]

OOC: I'll be off to eat dinner.

 

[DotSlash]

Yukino lands near the carnage and immediately ignites her sword. As the flames glow orange, she slashes out at a cluster in a horizontal arc, aiming to behead most of the beasts.

[hr]

Rex continues on his own way, asking people for information regarding the prisons.

 

[Random berk]

The infected howled and charged at the armoured man, Caius. They fell in bloody arcs, got through, seized at his armour, and fell again. Wave after wave, they came, the forerunners of the new plague rising from the corpses of the people that they once were with terrible speed. Meanwhile, Mercer continued his own butchery.

As Yukino ignited her sword, half the infected charged mindlessly at it. Others held back, snarling, transfixed by the flames.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Rounding the corner, I spotted a few beings that were transformed with strange blackness on them. Hulking biomasses all of them. I ready my sword in eagerness. Finally... The true taste of death can finally..!

Rushing in at some of the infected, I slash at the first one infront of me. Twirling around, I spin slash to another one then jump into the air with an impact blade as the ground itself shook from the impact, stunning other infected around me.
[hr]
The fox however observed from a far distance away.

 

[DotSlash]

A smile creeps onto Yukino's face as she sees the charging infected. Taking a deep breath, she steps and slashes once, sending a large horizontal fireball toward the mob. She, then spins around and sends another fireball of equal size behind her.

 

[Chungus]

Seeing a hand of one of the infect held a part of his armour in a death grip, he man brushed off with a frown, then turned to the nearest cluster of infected. He first jabbed his sword into the ground, then swung it up, breaking apart the stonework of the street and sending pieces of debris flying towards the mutants. Using this to cover his advance, he charged at them. When near, he jumped up, reaching normal height this time, and spun around in mid-air, swinging his sword from left to right, the jump adding more force to the swing.

 

[FPSfanatic]

As Mercer sliced through bodies, he would encounter Bryce in his new form, and have his blade meet another. "Oh come now, mister Mercer. The Helotry expected more from a fellow virus carrier. At the very least, you should have conquered those fools you fought, instead of running like a scared child." Bryce wielded a blade very similar to Mercers, his arm morphed into a version of his.

 

[Demonjazz]

Archimedes shot at the infected with his plasma gun

 

[Furioso]

OoC: Back, can I step into this battle somewhere?

 

[Random berk]

OOC: Yeah... sorry about this, but posts seem to be coming in slowly now, and I can't stay up much longer. I'll have to call it in, but I'll leave plenty of infected for people to play with.
@Furi Just start killing infected. I can't stay long enough to make a proper battle of it, so once Mercer say his piece I'll leave you to do whatever twisted things to them that you can think of.

Mercer paused as he heard the sound of metal slicing through flesh again and again and smelled burning flesh. He scowled.
"You bastards just can't resist pissing me off, can you?" He muttered, before erupting in a web of tendrils again and striking a number more people. This would speed the infection. There were less this time, as it expended a lot of biomass to carry out such an attack, and he had no intention of being caught short next time he faced the group. He silently urged the infected to throw everything they had at the group. His influence over them wwas tenuous at best, but it would be enough to keep the others busy. As he did so, he heard the sound of a blade in the air and slashed out with his own, meeting Bryce in midair. For a moment he was thrown by the strange face, but then it clicked.
"Ah, my doppelganger." He sneered. "I must say, you interest me. You interest me greatly. Why resist my mission? I intend to spread my gift to the world! Our gift! The strongest among them deserve to evolve as we have, don't you agree? With your help, perhaps that dream can finally be realised!"

The number of infected rushing the combatants became steadily heavier as more people were turned.
