We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Random berk]

OOC: @Outis... Not that often.

The predator examining the trees would hear the fluttering of wind around a cloak as Jona leapt across the clearing to come down on top of him, sword and dagger blade directed downwards to strike deep through his torso. The distance he leapt from meant that he would strike from an angle the predator would not expect, even if his first instinct was to check for an attack from above.

Kynn darted into cover behind a tree and peered around, seeing the predators milling around.
"This is crazy. What the hell are we doing here? I can't believe this, why am I helping these people fight off an invasion? I don't even know this planet." He muttered to himself, on the verge of panic. "I'm not even trained to..." He trailed off, and glanced over his shoulder at his backpack. A slow grin spread across his face. Opening it he pulled out one of the plastic bags with the red substance inside and held the opening up to the port in his mask. Opening it he quickly squeezed a puff of the red powder inside up into his mask, then closed it. His grin became lazy as his vision began to turn a shade of red around the peripherals, and he glanced around at the predators again.

 

[Chungus]

OoC: Never mind strategy, stealth is a thing we are really good at. ;D

Seeing the key card in the drawer, Loki grinned. What a favourable turn of events this is. Not going to risk fishing the keycard from the drawer while the man was still sitting at his desk, Loki stepped away from the desk and waited to see what the soldier would do next.
[hr]
"Congratulations!" Erica exclaimed with bright smile, clasping her hands together.

OOC: @Outis... Not that often.

Yarp.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie glanced at Kynn, then grabbed three fragmentation grenades from his belt, sticking them together with a lenght of tape. He weighed the grenades in his hand, glancing at the predators.
OoC: Alright, now I need to leave. See ya.

 

[Saltyk]

After finishing his meal, the soldier threw away his trash and put the lunch box under his desk. After that he decided to finish his lunch break, playing a few computer games, like World of Final Eve Guild Scape, where he played a scoundrel. Realizing he was overdue to get back to work, he quickly shut down his computer and left the office.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Marston heard some talking and walked toward it, finding Sav and Grace.

The sentry died with nary a sound, yet other sentries called out at the attack. Reacting, a few shots were sent sizziling towards Jona, badly aimed and missing, until the commander called out His orders out of the way, the hunt leader walked to within 10 meters of Jona. he pulled a small tube from his belt, and tapped the control button. A blazing blade of red light ejected from the end away from him, and he looked Jona over one last time before saying "I took this from a worthy opponent when we took our ship. Lets see if you're a worthy opponent as well."
[hr]
The sentries attentions drawn back to the edges of the forest, they spotted Kynn and Rookie, and let out chuffing yells, pointing to them, before sending a few shots there way. Because they were, for the most part, behind cover, only their cover would be degraded by the nature of the shells. At this point, most of the predators digging abandoned their work to retrieve their weapons and prepare for the fight.
[hr]
the predators stalking data continued following his trail, stopping at his turn and carefully examining the brush before taking a right after him, taking their time to ensure they didn't miss another turn. They would not have arrived yet at his location.

 

[Saltyk]

"All the same... I hear weapon fire... Looks like things won't go that way." Savranth said quickly making his way towards the sound of conflict.

OoC: Jona gonna get a light saber! Nice.

 

[Wackymon]

Data rolls into the shrubs, returns to being inert, quickly cooling down to the same temperature of the shrubs.

Grace hears the gunshots, and sighs.
"... okay..." she mutters, flying into the trees, transforming into a squirrel, running from branch to branch as fast as a squirrel runs.

 

[FPSfanatic]

OoC: @Salty I was trying to come up with a comment that denies this, but yeah, you kind of hit the nail on the head.

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia was on cloud nine at this point, of the near month and change she'd been in Winterhorn, not magic had she wanted to do more than the healing. Now that she'd crossed this barrier, all that work trying to learn that magic, now felt like it meant something to her. "I'm so happy! I almost thought it was hopeless for me to use healing magic, but I can! It's all thanks to you Erica." She smiled widely at Erica, her excitement clouded the fact that her fangs bearing now.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Marston continued to follow Sav, trying to keep an eye out for trouble.

OOC: Interestingly, at least one of my potential future characters is intended to be a bit of a strategist.

Might be interesting if this person met good old Will Sherman, if I ever were to play him again. I actually did try to use some strategy way back in the first thread when Will became in charge of a small group of American soldiers. When the Russians were attacking. Good times...

OOC: @FPS The predator killed Darth Vader?:|

Jona gasped and took a step back at the sight of the red bladed lightsaber. Unconsciously, his hand went to the cracked cylinder attached to his belt, which bore a considerable resemblance to that in the predator's hand. Then his expression became set with determination. Screaming a battlecry, the youth charged at his much larger opponent with uncanny speed, bonesword and dagger held out to either side. Just as he came close enough for the predator to swing, he suddenly sprang high into the air above his head and appeared to hover momentarily. Then he was thrown backwards as he unleashed a mighty blast of Force energy that pummelled the predator into the ground. Somersaulting through the air before landing gracefully, he darted forward with his swordpoint poised for the kill.

Kynn saw the predators aim at him and ducked into cover before their shots shredded the side of the tree trunk. Laughing ecstatically, he emerged from the other side and gestured casually at them. The air rippled around his outstretched arm, and then both predators were hurled off several into the air by a biotic shockwave before crashing down clumsily. Drawing his Predator M-3 pistol, Kynn began to fire mass accelerated bullets at them, not really caring for pinpoint accuracy, firing multiple shots at each target.

Rookie threw his three grenades at these two as well.

 

[Chungus]

When the soldier played the game, Loki looked on with a raised eyebrow, his confusion peaking when he read the title. World of Final Eve Gu... What in the world am I looking at here? And what is being displayed on the screen... Once more, a testament that humanity is meant to be ruled. Shaling his head, Loki continued waiting. When the soldier left the office, Loki stole the keycard, it becoming invisible the moment he took it from the drawer. Now with that out of the way, onwards I go. Moving to the door, Loki attempted to open it.
[hr]
Erica closed her eyes as she chuckled. "I'm happy for you too! I know how good it feels to have a breakthrough like this." she said, opening her eyes again. Although she saw Sophia's fangs clearly, this had hardly be the first time Erica had seen a person with fangs, and thus thought nothing of it. "But come now, don't give me all the credit. It's you who did the work. I merely guided you along."

 

[Saltyk]

Loki would find that the door would easily open from inside.

OoC: @FPS: You gotta admit that it's appropriate. The Star Wars Jedi getting a light saber from a Predator who's ship is a Star Destroyer... Only in WAOA.
@Outis: Yep. And I'll go into details in Chat if you want. But I think that one could be interesting. Nail actually recommended him to me. Though, I already am planning to nerf his potential skillset. He'd be kinda OP if I didn't.

 

[FPSfanatic]

OoC: @Berk nah, just one of the emperor's hands.
The blast hit the predator with force, but not as much as it should have, as the predator's armor increased its mass to help take the force blow. he swung out and parried the sword strike, before responding with another slash, giving ground to better allow him control of the fight. "Oh, did you know the person I took this from? All the better. vengeance is what we named the vessel he died on. You killing me, vengeance for your friend's death, it all syncs beautifully. The black warrior would approve."
the two predators were pretty much annihilated from the sudden biotic attack, the grenades helping to finish them off. At this point one of the berserkers knocked his holder off of him, and charged the two, roaring in anger at some not fully conceived fault in his character.
[hr]
at this point, the shooting was echoing throughout the forest, and the ten warriors hunting Data began heading back to protect their brothers.

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia looked a little embarrassed from Erica shifting some praise to her. "Oh... thank you." She said softly, still smiling but calming down a little, her fangs weren't easy to see again.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: Shower. Marston will be following Sav.

 

[Wackymon]

Data slowly boots back up, and begins to continue to walk around, eventually stopping a few muinets walk away from the Predator site, the opposite side of their landing party.

Grace watches the fight, in her pure-squirrel form, running around the field, thinking of the best way to handle this...
Capture leader, then hold him for ransom? Is there a leader?

 

[Chungus]

With the door being able to open from the inside without a keycard, Loki opened it only slightly, then warped into the hallway as he had done when entering, so to not alert anyone who happened to be in the hallway. Turning around, Loki closed the door of the office and made his way back to the floor where the filing rooms were, nimbly avoiding any personel along the way. Once at the door, Loki looked around if anyone was around, and if so, how close they were to the door.
[hr]
"Think nothing of it. I'm glad that I was able to help you progress." Erica answered, her own smile settling down, but still there. "You know, you very much remind me of myself when I was still a student."
