We Are Our Avatars VIII: Interdimensional Jaunt. (Closed up, thanks for playing.)

[FPSfanatic]

Na'vi would find no chinks in this monster's armor. Its skin was tougher then most leathers cured and dried, its armor thicker then most warriors, and plated to cover any weaknesses. Killing it was going to be a mess, tiring and long.

Amelia's lightning strike stunned the creature, and left it smoking. Then, two curious things happened. First, the poisons on the screamer's talons ignited, the electricity passing through enough energy to cause the volatile chemicals to ignite. Then, it turned towards Amelia, and charged, roaring. It cared not about the weapons slicing into it, the rocks bouncing off its head, or the strange energy shots smacking his face. He only had eyes for the little sheepgirl, and with claws wreathed in flames it came for her.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Seeing the monster rush towards Amelia, Samus fired a missile at it, aiming just ahead of it so that it would hit it as it ran towards the sheepgirl.

OoC: The old Space Invaders principle: don't aim for where they are right now, aim for were they will be in a second.

 

[Demonjazz]

Navi reported back to Link. Link was in a tree so he did what any sane man would do in the situation where a giant monster was trying to kill a little girl... Jump on the creature's back as a last ditch effort. If he did get on the thing's back he would first try to grapple on to something for balance and then try and stab the creature.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Axton and Seras were really at a loss for anything to do, so they did nothing.

OOC: I'm sure Link will take that missile like a champ...

 

[DotSlash]

Due to Amelia not having left her perch on the tree, the screamer would have a good amount of climbing to do to reach her. Seeing the monster rush at her frantically and the missile coming toward its path, the sheepgirl prepared to launch a counter of her own until she noticed Link suddenly jumping onto the beast. Gritting her teeth, she pointed her rapier toward the man and recited an incantation rather quickly.

[color=ff7777]

"Spirits of the Great Phalanx...
I beseech thee...
Give this man a bit of your power...
So that he may strike this beast down! ...Stalwart!" ​

[/color]

After the chant, a golden beam would fly toward Link and once it struck him, would cause him to be bathed in a golden aura. Anything that would hit Link would damage him much less than it normally would. Amelia took a few deep breaths, now too tired to move just yet and hoping the missile would hit home hard.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Samus's missile shot would strike the screamer mid plate, a little below Link. Link would have found clinging to the chimney like objects quite effective and doable. The screamer killer would roar, sending another plasma discharge towards the base of Amelia's tree, and shake itself before running again, building up speed as a living battering ram.

 

[Wackymon]

A nearby light began to flicker....

McNinja had no idea how to handle the situation, so tried to topple a tree on it.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras finally jumped down from her tree, but didn't approach the beast yet.

Axton continued to wait for his turret to recharge.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus advanced on the beast, firing the beam, taking time between shots and aiming carefully so she didn't hit Link.

 

[Demonjazz]

Link tried to chop off the limbs on the sides of the creatures.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Amelia's tree would begin creaking, and falling, a good section of its base carved out and turned into splinters by the bio-plasma.

Miguel got up and started running to take another swing at the beast.

Samus's shots would prove ineffective, as the beasts hide seemed built to resist small arms fire.

Link would manage a single chop before one of the claws swung back, aiming to decapitate him.

 

[Wackymon]

McNinja continued to try to topple the tree atop the beast, Using the same strength that allowed him to lift up a vending machine easily [http://drmcninja.com/comics/2005-10-271p17.gif]

 

[DotSlash]

With the tree now beginning to topple, the sheepgirl blinked as she recovered enough to move. Seeing that things weren't going well, she hopped off the tree and braced for impact. As she fell, she attempted to roll but landed badly as the sound of bone snapping would be audible as the girl toppled onto her face after landing, holding her left shin with both hands and her rapier clattering, now out of her grip. She was gritting her teeth and she began to sob softly.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus kept firing at the beast, trying to distract it so it wouldn't target Link or Amelia.

 

[Wackymon]

Scout ran, and grabbed the Sheepgirl, trying her best to drag her away as fast as she could.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras also rushed over to drag Amelia away.

Axton was hesitant to let loose with his turret again since people were still crowded around the beast.

 

[Demonjazz]

Link ducked out of the way just in time but this sudden change made him fall off onto the ground, he was quite proficient at rolling landings though so he was not hurt very badly. He then went up to the monster and tried to stab it in the cheek.

 

[FPSfanatic]

The screamer killer ignored the attackers, considering their hits as superficial cuts and little more. it roared, charging up its plasma shot again, aiming towards the downed Amelia.

Mcninja would have some success toppling the tree, but it would fall in Link's direction. It would slam into the screamer killer and wound it, but not kill it.

 

[DotSlash]

Amelia did nothing as she was dragged away, still focused more on her broken leg than anything else.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras picked Amelia up and started sprinting away at a very fast pace.

Axton took out his rocket launcher and prepared to fire at the creature. "Everybody clear the way!" he shouted.
