We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[DotSlash]

Seeing the bolt fly at the Rookie, Ness cautiously aimed toward the spot she had seen it come from before firing a shot from her fingers at the spot and teleporting as usual, switching to another piece of cover a little closer to Loki's general position. ...This is getting way too close.

Noticing the storm clouds, the fedora girl got a little more nervous. ...Not good... I need to find him quick.

 

[Furioso]

OoC: @Drak, oh I misread your earlier post, I thought Jessica was outside of the dome, may I retcon?

 

[Drakmorg]

@Furioso: Sure thing, go ahead.

 

[Furioso]

OoC: K, I'll keep the stormcloud though

The lava from the pool would rise up and fly towards Jessica's position as Rita climbed out, focusing a bit of energy as she climbed out causing storm clouds to appear overhead, outside of the dome.

 

[Drakmorg]

Once Jessica had finished bandaging up her wounds, she noticed a wave of lava flying towards her. She teleported out of the dome and into the cover she had first taken before the battle had started. Dammit!...What the hell does it take to kill that evil little *****?... She thought to herself as she sat down, too worn out to do much else for the moment.

 

[Chungus]

Hearing the shot and it impacting where he stood, Loki looked towards the bullet hole, but couldn't determine the trajectory of the shot without inspecting the bullet hole closer up, which he wasn't about to do. A annoying hiding game this is. Knowing he would have little chance of spotting Ness from the ground level he stood at, Loki went to seek higher ground. He slowly walked towards the airship, having learned from his previous mistake, and when close enough, warped ontop of it. From here, he began looking around. He noted the storm clouds, but paid them no mind, knowing well enough what caused them.

 

[Furioso]

Rita sighed as Jessica teleported out. I will NOT let a ghost get the last laugh! she thought as she charged more power. Loki, if you can, tell me where any of them are. I can find them through my magic in the air, but it will take time to blindly look. The clouds grew thicker overhead.

 

[DotSlash]

Seeing Jessica suddenly teleport back into cover from where she was, Ness felt a small bit relieved that her friend was alive. With that small boost of courage, she took a deep breath. ...It's all or nothing now... But at least.. if I die, I can slow them down a little more.

She swung out of cover and fired an RPG toward the middle of the airship. Afterward, she'd teleport back into another piece of cover, the small flash of white light of her appearing probably visible to Loki where he stood.

 

[Chungus]

Hearing Rita, Loki reached for his pendant. I last saw the fe-- He cut the message short when he saw the RPG coming towards him. Placing the end of the staff firmly on the roof airship, Loki used it as a pole vault to launch himself off it, landing a short distance infront of the airship in crouching position. When the RPG missile hit the airship, it blew a large hole it in, the airship having little in the way of armour. Even as his ears rang, Loki touched his pendant to pick up contact again. As I was saying, I last saw the feline to the south-west of where the airship landed. The other one would possibly be to the north of the ship.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica continued to sit in cover, her breathing becoming rather haggard. We need some help on this one...went into it a little unprepared... She took a deep breath and mentally contacted Ness. "I'm gonna see about getting us some back-up...it's all I can really do right now...keep it up...but be careful..." With that, she teleported off to outside the city limits of Fourside. She messed with a dull-silver bracelet she had until she was covered in a sheath of light. When the light dispersed, she was wearing a HAZMAT suit. Knew this thing would come in handy eventually... She entered the city limits and started looking around for Legaian military personnel, somewhat dragging herself along as simply walking was strenuous for her at the moment.

 

[Furioso]

Got it, I can only target one though. replied Rita as used her magic in the air to search where Loki had directed. Ness might notice some sparks popping up in various places around her.

 

[DotSlash]

"I'll try to hold up here... Don't push yourself... and thanks for everything..." Ness telegraphed back, sighing to herself as she saw Jess disappear.

At least you won't see me like this... Letting her mind project images of her friends and associates getting hurt and maimed and imagining the many dead in Fourside, Ness slowly started to grow angry with herself and her eyes turned to a blood red color. The girl's gun seemed to resonate with her as she cracked her knuckles. Noticing the sparks around her, she quickly spun out of cover again and fired three RPGs in quick succession toward Rita's rock dome. She once again teleported herself behind cover and away from the sparkles, moving much faster than usual.

 

[Chungus]

The feline has just fled the scene. The sniper remains in roughly the same place she has been. Finish her off, then we make our escape. Loki telepathically said to Rita after seeing the flash of silver light, indicating Jessica had teleported away, soon after followed by the smoke trails Ness' RPGs left behind. Letting go of the pendant, Loki began walking towards the mountain path leading towards what was once Rockbyrd.
[hr]
Jessica would find the military pressence working alongside other emergency services as they worked on getting those who were exposed to the toxic gas and survived to hospitals. Others worked on retrieving the many, many died. Hundreds of corpses were lining the sidewalks, some covered by a white sheet, but others exposed. The final expression of many being one of panic and fear. Frothing at the mouth was also a common sight.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica slowly approached the military personnel she saw, assuming they didn't notice her first. She waved her arm in the air to get their attention. "Excuse me! I need to speak with someone from the military! I have some very important information to give!"

 

[Furioso]

The RPG's shattered the dome, but mattered little as Rita reformed the dome, making it thicker. She searched the area for Ness.

 

[DotSlash]

@Furi: She didn't vanish, she just teleported again.

Seeing that the dome still stood, Ness sighed to herself before teleporting behind the rocks compared to where she had fired before and fired off another two rockets toward it. If she managed to make a hole in it, she'd jump inside.

 

[Chungus]

A few steps up the path towards Rockbyrd, Loki turned around. Now again on higher ground, he saw Ness teleport to her position, and relayed this to Rita.
[hr]
Seeing and hearing Jessica's attempt to call someone over, one of the soldiers walked over to her with a quick pace after he laid a body down. "What is it?" he asked urgently.

 

[Furioso]

OoC: My last post before bed

Rita allowed Ness to make a hole in the dome, instead building herself some cover inside the dome instead of repairing the outer shell. The wind picked up outside as sparks popped around Ness.

 

[DotSlash]

@Furi: Night, dude.

Ness quickly moved inside the dome, not wanting to chance staying outside with the sparks. Seeing the second wall in front of her, she calmly and quietly moved strafed around the inner shell, looking for any holes or weakpoints with her eyes.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief as she caught the attention of one of the soldiers. "I know who's responsible for...well...this." She replied, gesturing around at the scene of all the people sickened and left dying by the toxic clouds. The fact that her heart was still racing and her body was still pumping adrenaline through her was the only thing keeping her from getting sick at the sight for the moment. "They're up there in the mountains, right now still!" She declared, easily being able to point out the location of the battle due to Rita's creation of an odd localization of storm clouds. She then gave a description of Loki and Rita's appearance, to make sure Ness and the Rookie wouldn't be implicated along with them.
