>>24374961An ODST >>24374961>>24375019>Would you guys be up for continuing with our little firefight mission after the game?
>>24375040>>24375019Was right about to ask. heh.
>>24375040>>24375050Shore shore, should be able to wrap it up today methinks
>>24375050>>24375060Excellent! Not to spoil things too much, I've been debating whether to do something sort of big to cap it off or just sort of ease into an ending.
>>24374961Yeon
>>24374961Tsubakura
>>24374961Samael
>>24374961Kit
Well, this looks like a fine group of fighter. Ready to begin everyone?
>>24375072Nice, looking forward to it.
>>24375132What are you looking at wonderkid?
>>24375132Alright...let's do this!
>>24375132>Cue the pirate music.
>>24375132All ready!
And here they come! The finest fighters across the multiverse! We've got robots! Demons! Pirates and spacers!Pyromaniacs and telekines! Killer plants and killer cats!Let's get this show started!
>>24375168Always bet on the Helljumpers! >And to ensure a large payout, the other one was oscar mike, a smoke grenade covering the man's retreat!
And after that vicious start it looks like our fighters are settling in for the long haul! Gathering allies, intimidating enemies, collecting weapons! Think about all the pain they'll be inflicting on each other soon just makes my heart beat right out of my chest!
>>24375168What? I get a bonus if I insult that cat? Well, her outfit does look pretty gaudy and stupid.
>>24375132Begin at your leisure.>>24375168>[Slithering through the arena, coming across the yellow man and his crew.]Well, I suppose I can offer aid>>24375190Well, this is a predicament... Where had I laid those traps...?
>>24375190>While Lenny got the jump on one trooper, the other one was laying into ze German. I always hated spooks you know! Isn't that right people!? >The crowd roared their affirmation and adulation with the blackguard, the spec ops Marine continuing his assault against the philosopher!
Did you think we were gonna make it easy on these fighters!?No way! That's not how we do things around here.Get ready people, this fight just became an immersive experience!
Awww man.. We're going to have to cut back on the rockets next time. There's hardly anyone left to fight anymore!
>>24375209>Again, one ODST used a smoke grenade to conceal himself while the other got "creative" with poor Yeon, the man snarking as he used the girl as a meatshield. Should've seen that one coming, girly!
>>24375190>https://youtu.be/GEStsLJZhzo>>24375209>https://youtu.be/S7lvrg4yzAc>Double-kill!
Now I love a good bit of banter and trash talk among fighters as much as they next gal, but one of you has to make the first move eventually!
>>24375226(ODST #1) Hey. (ODST #2) Sup? (ODST #1) Lemme swap weapons with you real quick. (ODST #2) Aight. >One got an assault rifle and the other got an SMG. A fair enough trade really that would hopefully suit each man.
Seems the ODSTs are more popular than we thought! Come on people, let us keep atleast one of them!
>>24375244Hey, HEY! There's plenty of us to go around! >Not enough to please these fanatics, both grunts getting dragged away by the adoring crowd...
>>24375209To think I had to shed my scales, to survive...>[ Reducing himself to a smaller serpent, to survive this hailstorm. ]>>24375226>[ He remains a small serpent, watching these two debate with each other. ]
The final battle is now!The Flower with the power and the Devious Demon! Place your bets!>Samael>Flora Mook
>>24375253He's scum, but the big demon snake's gotta win it.
>>24375244There is nothing wrong with endless passion... I have nothing more to say to you.
Incredible, are you seeing this people! Every bit of charge that baton had is being delivered straight into that snake!I mean just look at that delectable agony Samael is in! I'm almost jealous..
Wait.. it's really over?!Well.. a fun time doesn't always mean a long time I guess..Here's your winner!
And let's have a look at that scoreboard!
>>24375267>[ Electricity has been his weakness in many games throughout the series. Seems like this version of the serpent was also weak to electricity. ]
>Only two days.
>>24375267So much for that. >>24375280>>24375286Not a bad showing on the flower guy's part. Hmph, and thank you too.
>>24375280>Congratulations.>>24375286>And thank you.>>24375290>Jeez.
>>24375280>>24375286Weird creature...Thanks & all that.>>24375291>>24375286>i aam ready when thou art
>>24375286Thanks for hosting, I'll try to get in next time
>>24375286>Thank you for hosting.
>>24375303Sweet. You were up next here: https://archived.moe/bant/thread/24336807/#24337116
>>24375287>Flying types being weak to electricity.. more common than you think.>>24375291Always a pleasure to work with professionals.>>24375297>Thanks for playing.. and yeah. That was a quick one. >>24375305The bloodshed never ends! We look forward to seeing you!>>24375306>Thanks for playing, wishing you many more victories.
>>24375280>>24375320>[ He'll only hiss. Being reduced once more into a small red serpent. Slithering away once more. ]
>>24375329Would you also want to continue with our own thing tonight? Also sorry for falling asleep on you the other day with it.
>>24375311>>24337052 >>24337116 >The tempest surging, gunfire and explosions provided her with just enough chaos, time and cover to start reloading. She's already moving herself back into the fray.>Guildos sharp descent gives her the precious few seconds needed to finish reloading.My thanks.>She gives the priestess a thumbs up, before unleashing rifle fire onto a nearby insect.Sergeant, may I suggest a further retreat into the Outpost before bombing?
>>24375349https://youtu.be/vQma-auoCII?si=9-HOb6RtlUKq0V4s
>>24375320>>24337116>>24375349>Indeed, by now there had to be thousands of Arachnids swarming the site. Most dead mind you but plenty were still alive to harass the Marines and their allies of the hour, Winda and Adachi at least helping to provide some much needed cover. The android's suggestion got a curt nod from the gruff sergeant as he himself took a moment to reload his well used weapon. (MRN #1) A damn fine idea. Alright people, fall back and keep your heads down for the bombing run! Move, move, move! >The troopers quickly complied, enacting a fighting retreat as they sent rounds and a few grenades at the still charging insects. The pair of Marines on the fifty caliber machineguns were still manning their stations however, their spots well enough and elevated within the base to conduct covering fire. Over the din, the SNCO shouted to Winda. (MRN #1) Try to provide us a little more cover, then fall back with us! The Longswords will take care of the rest! >By now, the previously and barely seen quartet of fighter-bombers had coalesced into black wings, the lead flyer radioing the sergeant. (LRK-1 PLT) This is Lumberjack-1 to Marine ground team lead, preparing to commence danger close bombing run. Hang on to your teeth, over. (MRN #1) Roger that!
>>24375335Sorry for the wait. But yeah, I'm game
>>24375421>It's cool. Here's my reply then:https://archived.moe/bant/thread/24360276/#q24360907>>24360907(117) An "infinite mirror"? (CTN) It does sound implausible Chief. But then again, we've seen our fair share of strangeness in this Arena place so I suppose a never-ending mirror land would be par for the course really. To say nothing of this "mirror youkai" Izuna mentioned. >A nod from the Chief, figuring it did make some sense then. The mention of "hunting" Tora however got a head shake from the cyborg. (117) I said we were looking for you. Hunting would imply you're a target. >The mention of eating others did get a pause from the SPARTAN. (117) But that can change too, Tora. >The MCPO wouldn't tolerate such activity from this beast. And nervous as the Marines were, they were ready to back their big green SNCO up in a fight! Be it against Tora OR Izuna here, one of the troopers grousing. (MRN #3) Change priorities pal, cuz the Chief isn't for sale as it were. (MRN #9) Yeah! Chief knows how to kick some ass, yours included if you try to mess with him! >They sounded pretty confident in the large green man it seemed, the SPARTAN himself impassive yet firm. (117) I'm not here to fight with you. At least not yet. (CTN) Besides, who says you can't be friends with who you choose? It sounds like you've already "broken" that rule with that kid anyway Tora.
>>24375349>>24375374>A command that could not have come a moment sooner. Winda had all but depleted herself in her eagerness to assist. Gulldos bore fresh wounds now, each a parting gift provided by the 'nids he left gored beneath his talons. Winda still held her concentration but fatigue was clinging to her like a lead cape.Right! Coming back to you!>Gulldos flapped his wings hard, delivering himself and Winda to the wall where #10 was stationed. The metal creaked and groaned beneath the emerald bird, but would hopefully hold.. hopefully.Is everyone back inside?
>>24375374>>24375454>Rei is swift to reposition, firing a few bursts of fire the arachnid's way, but she's following in step alongside the Marines! And shouting at them like she owns the place, too!All units! Move it, fall back! Reposition!>Once inside, she calms herself down a little, awaiting any further orders.>>24375357>ore wa gundamu
>>24375454>>24375496>They could hardly tell directly, but some of the troopers had the suspicion that poor Winda was reaching the end of her rope as it were. Thankfully she and Adachi heeded the sergeant's orders, #10 offering the priestess a thumbs up. (MRN #10) Solid work so far miss! >And at Rei's little orders, the man good naturedly barbed back at her. (MRN #10) Hey, that's *his* line you know! >*His* being the surly sergeant, the man grunting as he was the last one to fall in after making sure everyone was secure enough within the complex. Glancing up at the sky he shouted back into his boom mic. (MRN #1) Alright Lumberjack, you're clear! Drop the pain on those buggers! >Not a word from the flyers, the dark wedges opting to show rather than tell as they flew overhead with a roar that competed with the STILL charging Arachnids and firing fifties from the two Marines. Their bomb bay doors opened up, and a slew of ASGM-10 anti-ship grade missiles rocketed forward to slam into the swarm! Powerful explosions followed, clods of burnt sand, rock and alien bug guts flying into the air along with a rolling shockwave that buffeted the men and women even behind cover at Whiskey Outpost! >A tense silence would follow as the jets flew away after their bombing run, having left ruins on the battlefield behind them...
>>24375496>>24375537>Winda grins brightly at #10 behind the dirt, dust and bug matter mask that now marred her face.Just don't forget our deal.>Seeing Rei make it back to the outpost was certainly a comfort, though she tried her best to make sure each of the marines were accounted for as well. Her finger pointed to each olive clad figure.8.. 9.. 10.. 11.. wait.. were there 12 or 13!?>A bead of sweat trickles down her brow, anxiously she tries to mentally sort the chaotic rush.Did I count..? ... Why do they all have to dress the same..?>She starts over from 1.1.. 2.. >Her counting is suddenly interrupted by a delta wing shadow passing overhead, along with the thunderous cacophony that heralded its arrival. >Winda held her coat tight as it whipped in the oncoming rush of hot air. She opens her eyes wide as the destruction they levied becomes clear to her.I.. I can't believe it.
>>24375445Tora: HAH! Ya think that metal shell and ya guns will be enough‽ How about we find out‽ After all, if ya ain't hunting me? Then why look for me? Ain't making much sense here? What you bastards got questions? That's lame. >[ Arms lowered to his side. But the Marines, a glance from the tiger. ]Tora: Oi, ya keep praising him like this. Gonna be heartbreaking to see him get his face smashed in. Maybe I'll be the one to do it! If you scum don't shut the hell up!>[ His main issue is that he can only express his feelings through harsh words and violence. ]Tora: That brat was different! So mind your tongue, hot lady voice!>[ The fox quickly floats up to the tiger's face. Poking his cheeks.]Izuna: Yeah, sure~! You're lying~! Just like the other times!>[ Visible red anger marks appearing on the tiger's head. Followed by load snarling. ]Izuna: Besides, you can't eat my acolytes! They are under my command! Not like you would even eat them anyway! Ya soft kitten-!>[ Blink and you'll miss the tiger grabbing the fox and biting down on his back. ]https://files.catbox.moe/6pgpi1.jpgIzuna: EEEEK! F-FORGIVE M-ME! I-I SAID SOMETHING F-FOOLISH! D-DONT E-EAT ME!! AIIEEE!!!>[ And this is their relationship. Also, this fox, despite his small size, can take A LOT of abuse. ]
>>24375537>>24375591>Rei interjects, raising a finger to help Winda count in the remaining herd of marines.Actually, I believe there are merely twelve-->She's cut off by the roaring of dark wings overhead. *Bzzt*, please brace for impact.>Her warning is given just a little too late, as the explosions rock the outpost. It almost knocks even her over.>Once her eyes filter through the dust and blood, Rei seems satisfied with the ruination of the battlefield. Nodding along.All enemies appear to be annihilated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfV96bNoaU8
>>24375594(117) It's worked for me so far. >Simple and to the point, the SPARTAN having yet to meet anyone or anything he couldn't beat with guns and military backed and approved violence of his own. And the Marines hardly backed down, although they were again a bit spooked by the big Japanese tiger monster. (MRN #9) We know what we said... >Again, the Chief and Cortana for that matter had the sneaking suspicion there was more going on with Tora. Although it didn't help that wily Izuna kept on pushing the furball's buttons with decidedly dangerous results, the petty officer shaking his head. (117) Since when were we your "acolytes"? (CTN) I also wouldn't advise antagonizing Tora here. >And then the latter bit Izuna, the sight and sound causing several troopers to jump and the SPARTAN to sigh himself, Cortana somewhat amused at what she was seeing. (CTN) But I'm sure you'll learn eventually. >Failing that, surely being a youkai meant he was tougher than normal foxes. Izuna wasn't dead *yet* after all. (117) Something tells me this is a regular occurrence between you two. (MRN #4) Yeah. I gotta wonder if that Kid had to break up fights between them. >A beat. (MRN #4) You uh, guys think we should do something here? >No word from the Master Chief at least. (CTN) I think it's a learning experience for all of us involved, trooper. >The Chief grunted at that before speaking. (117) Alright, I think that's enough Tora. >>24375646>Hey man, good to see you!
>>24375655>It's been a while indeed.
>>24375591>>24375619https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfLjTa5VAPA>Hey, just about everyone was covered in dust or bug bits by now, the Marines whooping at the glorious sight, messy as it was. Ten kept his good humor as always, the man laughing. (MRN #10) Right, I'm a man of my word! Heh, my name's- >Then came the ornery sergeant, the crusty non-com interrupting to confirm some things. (MRN #1) There's twelve of us. Speaking of which, SOUND OFF PEOPLE! >Various ayes and affirmatives were had by ALL surviving troopers, no man or woman lost to this murderous engagement. All in thanks to some teamwork here and the flying wings which soared overhead, the sergeant calling up to them via radio. (MRN #1) Good bombing run Lumberjack. I think we're clear here for now. >Or so he thought, the still ground suddenly rumbling again with force... >The Marines tensed up, the SNCO growling. (MRN #1) ... the Hell is that? >He'd get an update via radio from the Steady as She Goes, his already present scowl deepening as he called out to those assembled. (MRN #1) We annihilated 'em alright, but the Steady reports we didn't get all of them. Something big's coming our way! >Turning to the winded Winda, he'd shake his head before focusing on Adachi. (MRN #1) You! Hustle over to the armory and fetch us a launcher! Something tells me we're gonna need it real damn soon! >Adachi *was* closest to it after all, and speed was of the essence here. >>24375690>Yee. If you're up for it given the hour, do you maybe want to resume our own thing with Aussa's >>24375297 Yeon as a possibility?
>>24375646>>24375711https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebiccmDl8rA
>>24375711>>24375719>Standing by for anything.
>>24375719>>24375724Alright cool! The last reply was here: https://archived.moe/bant/thread/24281545/#24281943So Nova's up next in the turn order.
>>24375619>Annihilated. It was a single word, yet it brutally summarized the carnage that had been enacted upon the fore.Annihilated is right. By the goddess, there's nothing left.>That power had just turned a river of horrors back into itself. You have powerful friends Rei.>>24375711>Her weary expression sank into disappointment as the opportunity evaded her grasp yet again. And as if the fates themselves delighted in mocking her, new trouble loomed on the horizon. >Although perhaps beneath her feet would end up being more accurate.Catch your breath Gulldos.. they still need us.>She ran a gentle hand through his emerald feathers. Partly to steady her faithful mount, and partly to steady herself.
>>24375727>In that case.>>24375711>>24375719>IRyS takes a quick glance at her clothes just in case a tree branch could've tore them and make the Marines mistake it for a injury.So far I've been well regarding health. And yeah I think I might have one or two things to explain since then...>It wasn't gonna be easy to explain it all without revealing classified information. Speaking of which, she pays a little bit of attention to her bandaged companion.Huh, that kinda reminds me to that guardian animals stuff from China.>It's not until the UNSC troops take a look at Yeon that IRyS realizes her companion is blind, she refrains from saying something that might sound inadequate.
>>24375756Other words include: Eradicated, decimated, owned, destroyed.>She seems to be gloating about this victory.The enemy has been successfully routed, mission successfu->She's celebrating a little too early perhaps.>>24375711>As suddenly, more orders are coming in, their enemy wasn't done just yet. And they would need bigger weapons to mount an attack. Rei salutes.Un-derstood.>She dashes over to the armory, quickly scanning through until she finds the triple barreled Rocket Launcher, nicknamed the Jackhammer.>https://youtu.be/hV0i_CvNgzQHeavy armament acquired.
>>24375719>>24281943 >>24375763>The sergeant gave a pleased hum at what IRyS said. (MRN #1) Glad to hear it ma'am. And like I said, you can explain yourself at your leisure. Heh, it's not like we can order you around. >Although in all likelihood, ONI *would* want to debrief and interview her at some point to figure out where she had gone near the end of VERDANT DAWN. Witnesses and cameras *did* report seeing a couple unidentified persons of interest "accompanying IRyS...>In any event the approaching medic came to a halt near Yeon, the man nodding along. (MRN #3) It sounds noble enough Yeon. Now, let's see what we've got here... >Silk bandages? Interesting. Not as good as the UNSC own sterile ones of course but it seemed to be serving the scarred servant well enough. And when tested for vision, she indeed didn't react, the medic grumbling mostly to himself. (MRN #3) Sarge, this woman is blind... (MRN #1) What? (MRN #3) Mhm, 'fraid so. >That gave the SNCO pause, the man frowning in thought as he focused on Yeon. (MRN #1) With all due respect miss, don't you think it's dangerous to be wandering about on your own unable to see?
>>24375756>>24375786>Not quite powerful enough just yet however, the Marines still needing an assist here, the sergeant grumbling. (MRN #1) Don't have a party just yet people, we've got one last job to do it seems. >And Rei just might make the difference as she scampered off towards the ad-hoc armory the Marines had sort of put together. Amidst the many Morita rifles and spare ammo, there were a few various launchers as well. One of which wasn't a Jackhammer, but a single-barreled affair: The MK55 Tactical Nuke Launcher! Along with it were several hardcases with radiation symbol warnings on them loaded with mini-nukes. >Although Adachi had better hurry, the rumbling only getting more... pronounced, the sergeant shouting for her. (MRN #1) Hurry the Hell up Rei! We've got trouble coming, fast! >Case in point, one of the Marines on the .50 cal guns shouting from his vantage point. (MRN #4) Sarge! LOOK! (1/2)
>>24375852>>24375756>>24375786>Emerging from the blasted sands and amidst a field of Arachnid remains 200 meters out was THE biggest bug seen so far. The beetle-like creature erupted from the ground head first, its green eyes locking promptly onto the Outpost and the Marines and their allies therein. Gulldos in particular got the massive monster's attention, the giant roaring a challenge as it started stomping forward. Almost immediately, the two Marines on the machineguns opened fire with a shout. (MRN #3) We've got a big problem guys! >Worse still, it seemed as if their hard hitting rounds were hardly making the huge horror flinch as it kept approaching at a lumbering pace! >Other Marines would soon (re)join in the shooting as they lined up against the elevated wall, the SNCO barking. (MRN #1) SHIT! Winda! Try to buy Adachi some time to get into attack position! (2/2)
>>24375763>>24375812One of many injuries sustained at monsters' hands as a child.>A matter-of-fact statement. An injury so long gone that it would seem even the emotional wound has healed. Or at least, scarred over. Though, the way she seems to shrink under the combined scrutiny and fixes her 'gaze' upon the ground suggests at least a little shame...she clears her throat.I approached without stumbling, did I not? The light of day and silver of night as others may enjoy are lost upon me now, but I have learned to compensate.
>>24375786https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUvB76Zy2L0
>>24375655>[ Much like tiger. The fox had been bisected, Iron Maiden'd, impaled, and strangled on multiple occasions. He's just built differently. ]>[ That command. Really, still trying to tell the tiger what to do. Spitting the fox out of his maw, unintentional listening. ]Tora: ENOUGH‽ Guessing someone has a soft spot for little vermin, like these loud-mouthed foxes! Eh... I'm getting bored talking to ya, getting the urge to eat and fight something already. Oi Izuna! You ain't dead yet, I know it takes A LOT more than that to kill ya, stop being lazy and let's go! I wanna fight some more of this vermin across the sea!>[ There was no response from the fox. That might be it for Izuna- Until Tora points a finger and a small bolt of electricity comes flying out and hits the green fox. ]Izuna: EEEk! Y-you b-bully!Tora: Stop whining and let's go already! I ain't leaving ya with humans, besides I'll need something to fight the small fries while I fight the big ones!>[ *Bleehhh*.... Sticking out his tongue. He could run, but then Tora would chase him down. ]Izuna: Someone... gotta keep an eye on him so he stays out of trouble....Looks like I have to do it...>[ Slow float upwards, with the tiger grabbing and placing the fox on his shoulder. ]Tora: This is the part where you lot run back home with ya tail between your legs. I have bigger prey to hunt and eat! Maybe I'll go find a human village next! Depends on my mood! But if ya see that bastard named "broomsprayer" punch him in the face for me! And tell him your clan serves a greater demon! One small and green! Who can possess and invade the skin of any living creature! >[ Guess he's a hype-man out. The fox can only look confused and slightly frightened at Tora's comment. Back facing the humans, and *Cue sonicboom*. Appearing as nothing more than an orange blur with a green streak. Flying right over the lake. Both are disappearing into the horizon. ]
>>24375881>For better or for worse then, Izuna would endure... >Underneath his helmet the petty officer frowned at being called soft again. But... maybe there might be some merit to it, the man hardly the abusive sort and unable to condone it. Even if he hardly knew Izuna and the little bastard tried to boss him and the Marines around as their "acolytes". To say nothing of the possession attempt. Tora was hardly any better at that. >Still, call it intuition, but the Chief had a feeling about these two. But only time and effort would tell, Cortana laughing in his helmet before speaking to Izuna. (CTN) I do not envy you in that task. >Keeping Tora out of trouble sounded like a damn tall order indeed. (!17) Our mission is done here it seems for now and we'll be returning to our vessels. >Again, the mention of going after a human village caused the SPARTAN to speak with iron in his tone. (117) Don't do that. >And then came the mention of serving a greater demon and the "Broomsprayer", one of the troopers grumbling to himself. (MRN #2) Does he mean "Doomslayer"? (MRN #5) I thought he went by Doomguy myself. (MRN #2) Same difference I guess. >But it seemed as if they "were" acolytes of Izuna now at Tora's orders, the SPARTAN inwardly sighing as he wondered if maybe he should've let Tora skin the green fox... >Too late now, the pair departing in rapid fashion, the sonic boom causing a few leathernecks to shout as their Warthogs were rocked by the aftershocks. (MRN #1) Sheesh, what's with that guy? >No comment from the Chief, Cortana seeing fit to speak. (CTN) We have to remember, they're youkai. So they're not like us. At all. I suggest continuing to tread lightly when dealing with them Chief. >A nod from the MCPO at that. Hopefully he wouldn't get into *too* much trouble with them in the future...
>>24375812>>24375857I know, but I still feel a bit bad about leaving all of the sudden.>She knew that despite their reassuring words she would still have to say what happened, be it with some little lies coating the truth or not.>IRyS feels some pity for Yeon as she explains how did she lost her vision yet her comment points out something: her lack of eyesight didn't affect her efficiency while navigating the jungle and finding her.I believe you managed to compensate it quite well, I mean you were the one who found me first.
>>24375786>>24375852>>24375854>Winda watched as the tiny android returned with the cumbersome weapon. There was something comical about the sight. She briefly wondered how close in weight she and the weapon might be.>Too late for levity it seems.Right.. We've got one more in us don't we Gulldos!?>The great bird answered with a fierce cry, beating his wings with renewed vigor as he hurled himself upward. The chitinous monstrosity below dwarfed them by an absurd margin. Winda would have to fight it on her own terms.Dust storm!>The winds answered her call and obeyed. Sand and grit rose in a roaring wall, engulfing the insectoid beast in a blinding haze. Then, in a maneuver that bordered on madness, the pair dove into the storm in a shrieking dive. Gulldos stretched out his talons, aiming to slash the monsters eyes. We won't miss Gulldos! We can't!>Whether or not this gambit would be successful had yet to be seen.
>>24375857>>24375925>The medic offered her a sympathetic look that went unseen, although his voice held it too. (MRN #3) I'm ah, sorry to hear that miss... >A beat and a look at his superior before he spoke in a low voice for only Yeon to hear. (MRN #3) Look, if you want, we can fix your damages. Your blindness I mean. We have the medical technology to do that if you're interested. >Flash cloning, such a wonderful thing. To say nothing of other medical marvels the UNSC at large possessed. >The sergeant offered IRyS a shrug. (MRN #1) Well, if nothing else I appreciate the sentiment. But again, you can explain yourself later if you want to. Hell, it's not even us you should be apologizing to. That goes to the Tip of the Spear and her crew. >Again, these guys *were* different from the Marines IRyS knew. Newer namely if their weapons and still idling and on guard Mantis mech were anything to go by.
>>24375852>>24375854>>24375929>Rei is currently syncing up and calibrating the warhead launcher with her own systems. She only just gets started on the process before the insect emerges out of the ground.Need time to get into optimal firing range and lock-on to target! Current calibration rate is 45% and climbing->She runs with the nuke launcher in tow, as Winda and Guildo begin their attack, drumming up a heavy storm that blinded the enemy. But also obscured Rei's targeting as she scrambles to find a good position to fire from.Targeting... 60%...
>>24375921This one is done. Expect to see more of these two goobers soon. Have a good one>>24375925Take And take these.https://imgur.com/a/sgieFet
>>24375929>>24375960>She was up to the task at least. She HAD to be considering what was at stake here as the big bug advanced as fast as its massive and plodding form could muster. Thankfully, Winda and her magnificent companion and mount were able to muster up enough strength for one last possible play, the Marines trying to provide covering fire as another potent maelstrom was whipped up by the priestess and Gulldos. >The Tanker Bug was left staggering from the combination of massed gunfire and more pertinently the wind and sand storm whipping against it now. It was hardly harmed however, the horrid giant's front part of its face... sparking? >Then came a potent gout of fire! A living flamethrower erupted from the front of the Tanker Bug as it tried to turn Gulldos into fried chicken along with Winda as a topping, the flames getting blown about the storm! >Whether it would land or not remained to be seen, the sergeant growling at Rei's report. (MRN #1) Damn it all. >It might be a good thing though considering how Winda and Gulldos were STILL near the target, Ten shouting over the noise as best he could as he kept firing away with his own SMG. (MRN #10) WINDA! GET CLEAR! ADACHI'S GONNA BLOW THE BUG UP! >Hopefully she would hear them and heed their word. And Adachi's targeting software would hurry it up! >>24375983>Right on, thanks for playing, I had fun as usual! >See you around man.
>>24375960>>24375998>It seemed her eagerness had produced an unforced error. It was difficult to for men and women with guns to kill what they struggled to see.>Wincing at her lack of insight, Winda swept her staff and release the shackled winds. At once the storm collapsed with unnatural haste, releasing a trillion grains of dust and sand to cascade upon the ground the bore them.>>24375998>Whether she heard his voice or not, Winda burst upwards on Guldos back, flames licking at the massive birds feathers. She would do whatever possible to put distance between herself and that beast now.Aaah!>Neither Gulldos or herself escaped without harm but they had evaded a direct hit.
>>24375946>>24375925There is curious company to be had here.>Yeon muses over whatever relationship IRyS might've had with these people, but the offer rips her train of thought away from that. She's pausing, mouth slightly open for a second. Even with her hands hidden under her sleeves, well...she's clearly gripping on to them. There's temptation there. It takes her a second to formulate a response....That is a most generous offer. But I cannot accept it so hastily. I...do not take my current gift to see the unseen for granted.>Even if her tone was a little more forced there. She sighs quietly.My apologies. I didn't mean to draw attention to it...I should have simply pretended that I could see normally. Too much time spent among my people and companions....
>>24376035>>24375998>The bug still had fight left in it, spewing flames onto the Priestess and her mount. She couldn't exactly reach out to help them, nor could she stop her lock on cycle.Lock-on, 89%, 90%...! Warhead is armed and primed!Please, don't get caught up in this!>Rei hesitates for a moment, she isn't absolutely certain that Winda, Guildo and the Marines would be out of the blast zone before..*Bzzt* Firing!>She fires the warhead! Her eyes briefly fill with complete static as it's launched.
>>24376035>>24376295>Enough fight and light to try and burn Winda and Gulldos, that was for sure. Even amidst the chaotic sandstorm the Tanker attempted to cook the flying duo. Yet thankfully the winds, even as they died down, were enough to warp the flames to the point where they were *only* able to just barely scathe the great bird. Ten frantically gestured at the flying duo in between shooting with his gun. (MRN #10) HURRY! Get over here! >Especially as Adachi's countdown calculations reached its zenith, the nameless sergeant shouting over the noise while gesturing to those under his command. (MRN #1) Everyone fall back and GET DOWN! >By the time the android called out a "Firing", the Marines were back behind the cover of Outpost Whiskey's walls. Another Marine moved to grab Adachi to try and shield her from the coming blast. >Of which it was a massive thing, the warhead as promised hitting dead on with the Tanker's ugly face to create a terrific explosion. A potent fireball erupted from the blast, sand and dirt being turned to blackened glass beneath it as secondary explosions from the volatile Tanker Bug followed to cause further localized destruction. A rolling shockwave hit the Outpost yet again similar to what the Longswords had done earlier, albeit with a *bit* less oomph versus having multiple anti-ship grade missiles striking a swarm of giant insects. >Naturally, a miniature mushroom cloud formed in the aftermath of the explosion, its shadow covering the Marines as dirt and more bits of dead bug innards rained down upon them even over a hundred meters away.
>>24375983>Gotta love these edits of that Invincible pic. Thank you.>>24375946>>24376048I'll apologize to them once I reunite with them.>Even if they were from the newest UNSC batch in the Arena the nephilim still felt bad for letting their fellow UNSC forces alone. She looks back at Yeon as she comments about the curious company they've encountered in the form of the Marines,Well it's a bit of a long and not so complicated story...>Again IRyS refrains to ask or comment regarding Yeon's vision or whether she should take the offer or not. She knows well some how precious some gifts or abilities can be, despite the burdens they might drag with them.
>>24376295>>24376350>Curious company indeed, the Marines keeping to a polite and professional enough demeanor with these "civvies". Although IRyS was a special case, the SNCO recognizing as much. (MRN #1) Well, if you girls are up for it, we can take you back to our ship. And from there you can get back to the Spear at some point. (MRN #3) It would allow us to provide better medical care for Yeon here, sergeant. >Of which the medic kept his focus on by in large. (MRN #3) I have to insist ma'am. And before you go on about it being trouble or a burden, it's not. As a matter of fact, it's kind of our job here in the UNSC to assist people where able. And you look like people to me, heh. So no need to apologize either. We just want to help out. >But ultimately, they couldn't force Yeon either were she to refuse. >The non-com grunted at that, the man looking between Yeon and IRyS before speaking. (MRN #1) From what I've come to understand, the story is that you were among the first to join up and aid the UNSC here in the Arena to put it succinctly back during the Ireland campaign. But if you want to add on, you're free to do so.
>>24376048>>24376396Oof, mislink. First one was supposed to be you Aussa.
>>24376295>>24376330>The sudden updraft of scorching air did little to aid her already shaky flight. It buffeted Winda and Gulldos violently, the pair fighting to remain steady.>Winda cling tightly to her mount, letting out a weary sigh as she looked down at the fireball where the insectoid champion had stood moments ago. That was a relief atleast. Alright, we're all done now Gulldos.>The soot blackened emerald bird came down hard in the center of the outpost, claws scraping the ground for purchase as it skidded to a halt. Wind slid gingerly from his back, legs unstead as her boots touched the ground. With a sudden burst of spiralling wind, the great avian's massive form collapsed back down to the form of the tiny Gulldo. Quickly the wounded bird returned to its perch upon priestess's shoulder.Hey. Great shot Rei!>She limped forward a few steps, muscles protesting the effort.Though I do wish someone had warned me that was going to happen *before* I got out there.. hah.. hah..>Winda seemed in rather high spirits for someone who had accumulated this many near death experiences in such a short amount of time.
>>24376330>>24376418>Rei barely had time to shield herself from the blast, being saved in the knick of time by a nearby marine. The shockwave extends outwards, rustling the entire outpost. The machine's eyes are clouded up, and full of static. For a long moment she fails to respond to anything, it seems firing the nuke caused something akin to a blues screen.V̴i̴s̶i̴o̵n̷ ̷r̵e̵s̷t̷o̷r̷e̴d̴.̶.̶.̴ audio restored.>With a slow blink, Rei rises to her feet, staring at the marines, Winda and Guildo. And she gives them a...salute!Target of operation has been eliminated!Mission...complete!>yosh I think this is a good ending point! Thanks for the rp both of you
>>24376418Yikes.. the typos got bad there..
>>24376401>I thought she was the blind one!>>24376396>>24376350I suspect you have many stories that are long and complicated.>Her 'gaze' is over in IRy'S direction. Sometimes, you just get a hunch.It has been a long time since I was aboard a ship. Medical care is...not a need I have at the moment. I can navigate the world better than many people with perfect sight could. But...I am currently adrift. I will go where the current takes me in this matter. I am at least curious...such restoration is beyond the medicine of my homeland.>Perhaps even more than the notion of restoring what she's lost, she's quite curious about how they learned to be able to do such things.>That said...she does seem to be formulating the pronunciation of USNC under her breath. Looks mildly confused. It's almost like she's not used to national entities being referred to as anything other than [Direction] Kingdom, or something....
>>24376439Till next time my friend. Thanks for the session.
>>24376418>>24376439 (Yee, good stuff as usual dude!) >Any landing you can walk away from was a good one. Naturally, Ten was the first to come to Winda's aid, concern etched onto his features. (MRN #10) You alright Winda? I'll get you a medic to have you looked at. >And maybe a mechanic too considering how Adachi was on the fritz, although that thankfully cleared up soon enough. *Maybe* it was the mini-nuke's EMP effect on her that caused it... >In any case, the trooper that had shielded her gave the android a nod and a thumbs up. (MRN #8) Yeah, what Winda said. That was a helluva shot. You saved our asses on that one. >Even the curmudgeon of a sergeant had to agree, the man grunting. (MRN #1) Yeah, you girls earned your keep for sure. Good job. >In any case, the Marine medic would be quick to give Winda a stim (if she were to accept it) for her fatigue and whatever light injuries she sustained, Ten offering her a smile. (MRN #10) And I can't forget, I owe you a name. Name's Daryl. Lance corporal Daryl Crooks. >With that said and the mission complete, the troopers would pack up whatever weapons and equipment worth taking with them before offering to transport the two via Pelican out of Whiskey Outpost. All in all, it was a solid operation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBsN2MHXEk
>>24376396>>24376449If it isn't much inconvenience then sure.>"I hope this doesn't put a halt to my streaming schedules..." IRyS thinks for a moment. That train of thought comes to a halt when she listens to one of the Marines making a brief recap of her past relationship with the UNSC.Yup, I met the one Master Chief while he was fighting alone all those hordes of weirdos coming from the north and the capital I think. We got some support later once the Spear arrived and we managed to liberate the capital but after that... well, that's for another time.>She's still a bit hesitant regarding the last part of her brief journey in Ireland. IRyS' gaze focuses on Yeon as she speaks those words. Since her ears are sharper than expcted she wouldn't have any problem listening to IRyS muttering "So it would seem, so it would seem..." >(Thinks this is as far as I can go for tonight. Thanks for the RP once again.)
>>24376475>>24376439Da-ryle..>She enunciated the name aloud, voice softened by relief. She leant against her staff and let out a chuckle.Nice to meet you Daryl! >Winda grinned.You did some great work out there today.>With those final words her remaining strength abruptly abandoned her. The priestess crumpled to the ground with a sigh, content to lie there smiling until someone eventually decided to retrieve her.
>>24376475>>24376439>No marine deaths. >Surely we get the "Bros the the Close" achievement now.
>>24376449 (lol yeah) >>24376507>Another Marine grunted in acknowledgement at Yeon's comment. (MRN #4) Arena's a good place to make and share stories from what we've been briefed on... >The non-com leading this bunch gave a nod at that. (MRN #1) Right. Too right. And yeah, it's no problem. Our patrol stipulated we look for people and things of interest and I'd say you two more than qualify. So we'll be returning to the Conceptualized Awe in a bit then. >With a nod to another leatherneck, the PFC in question began to fiddle with her radio to raise the carrier in question. >The medic still near Yeon spoke next. (MRN #3) Well, you ever been on Epoch-class carrier? It's one of the biggest in the UNSC fleet I'll have you know. Two and half kilos of titanium-A plating and business! >And hearing her try to pronounce "UNSC", the friendly enough medic saw fit to help her. (MRN #3) Yeah, that's it. You. En. Es. See. Stands for United Nations Space Command. >And speaking of which, the senior non-comm officer gave IRyS a nod. (MRN #1) Yep, she met with good old 117 himself. Lucky her... >Nodding along, he continued. (MRN #1) There's plenty to recap but we can do that later maybe. Well, not us, but some other people. >Now they just had to sort of wait for a Pelican to come pick them up... (Works for me, I appreciate playing with you guys. Hoping we can pick this up again soon!)
>>24376515>Don't worry, the UNSC will take care of Winda here. Had to after all the damn fine help she rendered for them here along with Adachi! >>24376526>Hell yeah we did. That's a win in its own right along with wasting a bunch of bugs. Good stuff again dude, appreciate playing with you and Sumi here!
>>24376543Thanks, much appreciated. Till the next one.
>>24376536>>24376507What a curious name for a nation. >#3's remark only puzzles her more. At least Yeon "looks" over at him.I apologize. I have no idea what a "carrier" is. But I had thought us far from water...the oddities shall not end here, then....>Her tone remains subdued, but mystified all the same.>Have a good one.
