The Place: The Frontier. Winds which once carried radioactive dust on them, now spend their time depositing sand in places that don't want it. Temperatures during the day reach a burning two hundred degrees faranheit, and almost one hundred below during the night. It is a place of unpleasant extremes, yet it is out here that humanity has chosen to regain what's left of its life. Here on the Frontier, money is made through the trade of Chem A, as well as the stealing and protection of said chemical. It is the giver of life on the wastes that our world has become, and every drop is precious, more precious than water. It is here, in this harsh environment, that the drama of life plays itself out once more. Let us now take a look at those unforunate souls who have been thrust into this hellish nightmare...

The train had obvioulsy been fully taken over, that much Wolf had surmised as bullets ricocheted off of his car's titanium armor plating while he drove alnogside the tracks. Whoever thought it was as good idea to hijack a train full of Chem A, and then shoot at me...is making a very bad mistake.

Opening the sunroof of the car and drawing his MAC-33 SMG Wolf took aim at the nearest enemies firing on him. The enemines pitched over and fell as his precision shooting put bullets in their heads. He then leapt from the car onto a ladder hangling off the side of one of the boxcars. Hitting the remote start/stop button, the car ground to a halt while the train sped onwards. Wolf climbed up the ladder to get on top of the boxcar. Seeing no enemies in sight, Wolf dialed a number into his phone.

"This is Wolf. I've gotten onto the train."

"Good work Wolf. Seems like you are living up to your reputation. Okay. We know the bandits have most likely barricaded themselves in the locomotive."

"No problem. Just leave everything to me." Wolf disconnected the call.

OOC: I'm assuming that we can know each other, if not I'll edit my post.

BIC: Raina was standing a couple of hundred meters away from the train looking through the sight of her CheyTac. "Wolf seems to have everything in hand, too bad he got there first..." She took out her phone and switched it to Wolf's frequency. "Hey Dog boy, need any help? Or is this a solo game?"

"He's onboard!" One of the pirates yelled into his com.
"You three," Kane said, "Kill 'em. I'll call to the boss."
So, some new guy had decided to fuck things up. Oh well, Kane's plans always were flexible enough to handle the odd curve or two. As the three men turned to move to the next car, Kane pulled out Tireshredder and added a whole new style of ventilation to the trio's bodies. Kane then pulled out his com and said "Boss, I got the bastard, but he got Curly, Larry and Moe."

"Sure he's dead?" was the terse reply.
Kane emptied 80 bullets into Larry's corpse. "Yes."

The old fasion way, then.

Axis' motor bike was rocketing alongside the train. The face of the rider betrayed no emotion. Calmly, he noted a slanted rock up ahead, and tried to guess whether or not he could safely land on the train. Chances were slim, but possible.

Exactly what Axis wanted.

He gunned the throttle, the g-forces momentarily threatening to knock him off, then hit the rock, using it as a jump. By the common definition, this was insanity, and was impossible.

Right up until he landed on the very back of the last stall. The inertia unbalanced him a bit, but he only swung about 3 inchs before his shoulder painfully hit the back. Quickly, he kicked the stand down, and got off. He dropped the duffel bag, and opened it. Out of which, he took his knives, some extra ammo for his pistols, and some clips for Punisher.

He spared a glance underneath the train. Just the be certain, he grabbed a rapelling cord, and a silencer. After locking down his bike, and wiring the bag to explode without the key, he swung himself underneath the train, and began his slowl crawl towards the primary cabin. It wasn't entirely without even though.

His foot accidentally hit a pipe, a bit harder than intended. It rang.

"Hey, did you hear that?" "No."

Securing the cord to the train, he pulled his left hip pistol, without even bothering to check what it was, and attached the silencer.

A face leaned over the look. Axis shot him between the eyes. Above, it looked like the guy leaned too far forward, and fell out. Exactly what Axis had intended.

He holstered the weapon, and continued his slow advance with even more care.

OOC: Wolf? A little Wild ARMs 3 intro? C'mon... Clive.

The gaurd took a few steps foward. It was obvious this guy got the shaft. "Aw man... you're kidding right? Everyone gets to try and get the Chemical, but I get to stay here and..." Changing his voice a little to sound like someone older, "Make sure no one comes this way." He put his voice back to normal. "Like anyone is going to come up from the front of the train and through several cars to get to the gold. Thanks a lot for nothing..."

"Do you believe?"

The guard pulled up his gun and looked around. "Huh? Who's there!?"

"Do you believe?" The voice was raspy.

"Believe? I believe that I got the royal screw job with this post... Wait... who are you?"

"Do you believe?"

"Why do you keep asking that? I mean... what am I supposed to... Ah?"

He could feel deaths arms wrap around his neck and the crown of his head. "Do you believe... in Myths?" A crack could be heard as the gaurd fell to the ground, crumpled, dead. "You should... you never know when the moral of the story could come back and bite you in the ass..." He stepped over the guy and slide the door aside to head into the next car of the train.

(MC43, this is Stover. Whiskey tango foxtrot. I repeat, whiskey tango foxtrot.)

Kane pulled out his shotgun, and moved forword to the next car. The moment he opened the door, he screamed to the two men inside: "Intruder! He already got 4 of us, and he's coming!" And he ran into the car behind them as the two men kicked over tables for cover.

"I thought you killed the bastard!" Yelled one of them, and was quickly shot in the back of the head by Kane's shotgun. The other man soon followed.

"Actually I killed both of the bastards! Ah ha ha! It's a joke! It's funny!....some people have no sense of humor." And Kane prepared for the next car.

OOC: wow...we all didn't acutally have to be together to begin with...but ah well. and I guess Raina could know Wolf, because he is a well-established merc.

BIC: Wolf leapt to car #3, and ducked as a line of tracers spat over his head. He countered with his Omni-Falcons, sending the dead guard off the side of the train.

he contacted Raina via codec. "Any help is appreciated, especially from a fellow sharpshooter." he said. "Cover me while I make my way to the locomotive."

Twin Omni-Falcons out, Wolf made his way across the top of the car, shooting down a guard that popped up from an access hatch.

"Dude, this is seriously spooky."

"I know, we're losing contacts all over. Maybe we should go and join the others in the barricade."

Axis barely had his face coming over the edge, but leaned back down, then jumped on and quickly clipped a line onto a hook. The two guards didn't notice. Taking care, he put his hands on a pipe that was near the wheels, and then put his feet up between his torso and the edge. Needless to say, it was quite uncomfortable, but with a combination of stomach strength, and leg strength, he pulled himself up without a noise being heard.

Slowly, he detached the two lines, and put them back inside his jacket. Agitatedly, the two guards were looking around.

"I'm gonna' go check again." One of them walked away. Axis quickly, but silently left his cover in the shadows, stalked behind the guard, and freed his hunting knife. Then cleaved the man's jugulare wide open, and dragged him into hiding.

The second guard walked back out and said, "Hey, did you hear-Ah!" The bloodstain was quite large. Before he could turn to run, a shot slammed through his forehead. Axis lowered Punisher, made sure the launcher was loaded, and freed another, larger, silencer and put it onto Punisher.

He starting stalking his way down the cabin.

Raina settled into her spot on the ridge. The train was coming up fast and the top of the cars were swarming with guards trying to get in. She adjusted her sight and fired five shots in rapid succession. Five bodies crumpled and fell off the car. If anyone had been able to inspect the bodies, they would have seen a bullet hole in each of the guard's heads, right above the temple. She hoped on her Hoverbike and kicked it into gear. "Wolf, I took out the guys on top of the train, and I'm moving ahead to the switch station. I'll change the tracks and jump on there."
