Lock was standing by Freija. He wasn't a fighter, just a shield.

So it made sense for him to do that for Freija.

A stray blast flew out and pinged off of his shoulder.

"Ow." This was followed by a peppering of rubble.

He dropped onto one knee and brought his arms so his fists were facing up and jammed the two shields together. From the way they were made (A blocky zig-zag on the edges) the fit into each other perfectly and locked. All the rubble bounced off harmlessly, leaving a high pitched musical whine in the air.

"Ms. Freija? I believe we should go inside now."

Uriel was coming down the cliff, watching Gutx crush Schadwe. Then out of the corner of his eye he noticed Mephitis fire an arm cannon blast at Gutx.

"Ride the Lightning!"

Without thinking, he slashed the air in front of him and dashed through the electrical discharge, materializing in the path of the cannonblast, arms crossed in front of him. The lightning shield sizzled into life again, and the blast was deflected.

Damn-

Uriel was thrown into Gutx, who almost dropped the rock.

"Gutx! Finish him quickly! I'll take care of the new guy!"

Before Gutx could crush Schawde, and before Uriel got to take care of the new guy, a large explosive was shot directly onto Gutx, who, along with Uriel, where thrown back into the mountain. Schawde lied alone next to a newly formed carter. Inside of the base, on the right turret, a guard Reploid gave himself a pat on the back, while the two other Reploids were reloading the cannon. When Uriel had made the steam, it was obvious there was an attack, and the turrets were already activated. The left turret, which was a energy cannon, was charging itself, aiming directly at Vile.

Mephitis ran over and grabbed Schawde, then carried him to the outpost. Inside, Freija was making quick repairs on Shade's right arm, while the Reploids manned there post, and the Hunters were getting ready.

OOC: You really should wait for the robots before you attack a gaurded outpost...

OOC: It's Schadwe, not Schawde or Schwade.
Mephitis laid Schadwe in a healing unit.
"Freija, Schadwe needs some attention here."
He then stepped outside to see if any of the Mavs were still there.

OOC: I'll call it what I want to call it.

OOC: I know, but Vile likes to jump the gun...

Uriel dusted himself off and looked back at the turret.

"I'll take care of that... Ride the Lightning!"

He dashed out of the blast of another cannon shell, then started sprinting for the walls.

OOC: I allowed Ride Lighting because I figured it only had a 20 foot range or something, and it didn't go through walls...

OOC:Oh ok, never mind... Changing it... The actual range is about 40 ft, and yeah, it's just a very quick dash...

The Maverick's reinforcement chopper reached the mountains, but since none of the three Reploids were not where they original landing point was, and were not in somewhere safe for the chopper to land, it hovered in the area where the three Mavericks called it in from.

"Uriel to robot team. Report."

OOC: Robots don't have that good of AI... All they are programed to do is be voice controlled, and shot things without Maverick virus... (That means it's not talking back to you, since a Rep isn't piloting the chopper)

ooc-Miss a couple hours and miss a lot, eh? Well, I'll make a quick post

Schadwe wasn't sure what happened, things had been going downhill since he got here. Now I'm inside a healing unit...what happened to me. He seriously would order some upgrades if he couldn't handle a couple Mavericks. Some bodyguard I am.

He made sure to put these Mavericks into his memory banks, in case they were of any importance or should they appear again. When he got out, and should he meet them again, they would pay.

Uriel was surprised for a moment when no reply was forthcoming.

Right, they're AS.

"Squad, fall in behind us. We're going in."

The AI chopper pilot still hovered in place, and, in a robotic type voice, responded. "Sensors idicate large Resistance forces near your position. Continue with orders?"

"Disembark first, then fall in behind us. Carry on."

ooc-I'm assuming there are a lot of robots (this is an important mission afterall), and that there are at least a few guard reploids stationed here. Also, I'm bored.

Silence...I couldn't stand it. I was blind, deaf, and mute. Unable to affect the outcome of anything, I hated the feeling that came with that.

I would not simply just stand aside. I knew something was about to happen, and wether it was to me, to my charge, to the base, or even my fellow hunters I had to do something. Besides, I had spent enough time in the unit, if you could move you could fight.

Schadwe emerged from the healing unit prematurely, and while the damage still not completely repaired he started to make his way towards the exit. A reploid saw what he was trying to do, but he stopped him with his scythe. "Don't even try to stop me. I'm still you're superior, in both rank and skill, and you have to obey my orders."

"But-"

"Do not but me...we're under attack, and it won't matter if I'm being repaired or not if the Mavericks overrun us. I'm better off fighting.

"Gather the the defence force and the hunters. Even if it's just those three we won't take any chances, I won't allow any stupid risks anymore. They're hunters like me and the others, and they were able to force us back.

"I'll protect the entrance with the team under my command, the other hunters will worry about any offensive. Did you get all that?" The reploid hesitantly nodded. "Then why are you standing here? Get going!"

"Yes sir!" the guard replied, before running off. Schadwe sighed as he watched the retreating back, he didn't like how today was going.

Oh well, he thought as he started to his self designated post, It's better than not doing anything at all, and I have revenge to exact afterall.

Mephitis entered the base and saw Schadwe out of the tank.
"Schadwe, what are you doing? Your wounds haven't healed yet!
Mephitis attempted to restrain Schadwe.

The AI chopper pilot still didn't land. "Original coordinates have been deleted(You left where they were supposed to land). Input new coordinates." (Make something up)

At the Resistance base...

Shade had gotten his disk throwers unjammed, and the fried wires replaced, and was now in the radio room. He had just requested reinforcements, but no Hunters were available, but guard Reploids were on there way. He exited the teleporting room, just in time for the Reploid Schawde had commanded to run into him. Quickly, that Reploid informed him on what Schawde had ordered.

Shade thought for a second, then responded. "Ignore those orders."

The guard looked a little shocked. "But sir..."

"I said ignore them. I outrank him, so do this instead. You, and..." Shade saw another guard Reploid run by. "And you!" The Reploid stopped. Shade poitned at the first guard. "You go to the right turret, and look out for a chopper. Grab another guy on the way and tell him to look out for it to. If you see it, tell the gunner to shot at it if it's in sight." Then he pointed to the other guard. "You do the same, but with the left tower. But first, stop in the control center and tell the entire base (Intercom) that all non-hunters should get their weapons and go to there battle positions inside the base. Most likely the drones will be coming first, so us Hunters will circle around and attack them, and you take care of the reinforcements. If the Mavericks come first, they should be easy targets for all in position and the turrets, so target them, but only if the chopper has already landed." The two guard just stared at him. "Understood?" They both quickly saluted, yelled "Yes Sir!" then ran off.

My god, these fuckers are dumb.

Uriel could feel the field charge dissipating. He'd probably have to invoke it again before the attack. Gutx and Vile were already hunkered down behind a few large rocks near the base, but they'd need the cannon fodder to proceed.

"Mech squad, land at original location then proceed to Mike Golf Romeo zero-four-three-five-four-five on foot. Deploy around us in an all-round defense formation. Send one unit to my location, no... make that two."

Uriel crouched down behind his rock again, then clenched and unclenched his fist.

Soon... soon...

(OOC: whew, in all of the holiday excitement, I got pretty far behind ^^;; Lessee if I can catch up easily.)

Freija was being rushed to a safer place, however, as she walked by, she saw Shawde. She could immediately tell he was almost offline. <and he's still fighting! If he keeps this up, there will be nothing left of him to repair!> She broke away and dashed in the direction of Shawde, <They'll most likely object, but I'm not going to let him destroy himself!>

OOC: Remember, he is your guard, so he has to do as you say.

OOC: Gah, I'm not on as often so I'm falling behind, but I'm not dropping out of this RP just for the record.

Vile was still charging his cannon from that avalanche he caused, but his missles were working fine. He targeted on of the towers, made sure he had a solid lock on teh best points, and fired off his volley of all three missles. They streaked out unopposed and slammed into the side of the tower, hitting with massive explosions and tearing a massive chunk out of the tower. It began a hideous leaning as if to collapse but stopped, it's supports barely holding it up, but still rendering the gun useless since firing it would probably put too much stress on the weakend tower. Vile ducked back behind the debris he was hiding behind and opened up a compartment in his leg that held his missle reloads. <Hope I don't have to do that too much more> He thought, noticing how few missles he had. He loaded his missles, then opened a different leg compartment and pulled out his laser pistol, getting ready for when the fight began.

OOC: I thought they were weak missles...

OOC: Quoting my sign-up character: Shoulder Mounted Rockets - Small and fast non-homing rockets, they have a powerful punch and a good sized explosion. They shoot off a 3 missle salvo, and then needs to be reloaded.

Maybe the explosion was more than I had intended when I first included them...

OOC: Maybe it's just the idea of a turret being taken out so easily after doing very little fighting is what is annoying me...

As the robots began taking up defensive positions around the group, Uriel motioned to two of them to come over. As he did he activated the Androsynth Install. Gasping, his hands crackling with electricity, he reached out to the two of them, taking them by the heads. Confused, the robots remained still.

"Bred to suffer, born to die..." he panted.

Lightning arced between the three of them as Uriel stole their energy. The robots exploded, and Uriel dropped them, filled with new power. He grinned and flexed his hands again.

"Perfect."

He turned to Vile and nodded.

"It's going down, Vile. Be ready to follow!"

Uriel dashed forward, charging a Marubolt in his left hand. As he neared the fallen tower he jumped, and when the rubble was just below him, he let the blast of power go, dropping the tower to the ground and clearing a path for the robots.

"Mech squad, advance! Destroy everything that isn't us!"

Then it was his turn to land, in a crouch, facing the inner compound. Almost instantly, he sensed a hundred weapons point his way, but it was of no consequence to him.

"Come ! Kill me if you can!"

By then he was already on top of the nearest Reploid, the lightning fan draining the life out of him.

As they were trained to do, the guards all shot Uriel anyway, forcing him off of the Reploid he was on, and further back. The guard that Uriel was on was drained and shot somewhat, but two gaurds ran over, grabbed the remains, and ran to the teleporter room. Then they sent the pieces back to the Resistance base to get repaired.

OOC: Most guards have machine guns

OOC: Energy machine guns or normal ones? I'm guessing the former.

Though most of the rounds missed Uriel, some hit, eliciting a curse from him.

"Bastards! Now take this! Ike! Marubolt!"

The large sphere of energy impacted in their midst even as Uriel did a flying leap through the air, landing at the epicenter of the blast as it faded. With inhuman speed, he grabbed two of them, then proceeded to shock the life out of them as he held them in front of him as Reploid shields.

OOC: Since most people are not on, I will make up where everyone is...

The left turret was slaugthering the robots, taking out huge chunks of them at a time. All of the hunters, except Schawde and Shade, were outside, fighting off robots, Vile, and Gutx. (That was easy)

As Uriel shocked the two guards, Shade appeared behind him from nowhere, and stabbed Uriel in both shoulders with two knives, each with enough energy in them to stay on for 10 minutes. After he stabbed Uriel, Shade kneed him in the back, causing him to fall over. Before the guards could blast Uriel into scrape metal, another rocket from something in the mass battle outside of the outpost destroyed the rest of the tower, forcing the guards to scatter. The tower itself collapsed, making Shade lose sight of Uriel.

Bloody hell! Careless...

Uriel drew his arms in front of him as much as he could to cushion the impact, then rolled onto his back and kipped up. The tower fell between Shade and him, a stray piece of rubble hittign him in the back and almost making him lose balance.

Fortunately, one of the daggers had been knocked out of place by the large chunk of concrete. With a tremendous effort he ripped the other one from his shoulder. He snarled as he saw the two of them, but he didn't destroy them as he had planned.


With a tremendous effort Uriel ripped the daggers from his shoulders.

These might be useful...

Unmindful about his torn shoulder, he dashed towards the outpost's main compound, his good hand charging a Marubolt in the other.

Three disk shot out at Uriel, implanting themselves into the ground infront of his feet. Down the hall he was going was completely empty, and so was the area behind him.

"So, that's how you want to play..."

Uriel released the Marubolt in front of him, letting the electrical discharges from it cover his front as he raced down the hallway. He now ran sideways down the hall,, turning his head to his left and right, occasionally looking up as he ran.

OOC: Sideways, as in your back is facing one of the walls?

I looked away, trying to avoid that gaze, but it didn't help that I was being held. I knew what she, no, they wanted me to do, but how could I? I wouldn't leave anything to chance, not this time.

I can hear the fighting close by, and unless they deactivated me I would be there soon.

Schadwe stood there for a minute, being held by an entropy beast and stared down by his charge. Finally he removed his hood, revealing his face for the first time. He smiled painfully as he turned his head to look at her. "I am your bodyguard, it's my duty to keep you safe. I know what you want me to do, but I know what I have to do."

He raised the machine gun he had aquired from a reploid that had been sent back. "You should go now, they're close. Don't worry, I won't let myself be destroyed."

Dropping the gun he said, "Mephitis, let me down now. I'm not going to struggle, but you know as well as I do that I can still do something. There's fighting going on, and they need both of us."

"Please...do your job and let me do mine."

OOC: actually, make that against one of the walls. Uriel's been backstabbed once, which to him is too many times.

"Fine"
Mephitis loosened his grip on Schadwe.
I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid…

Freija stared at Schadwe for a second, contemplating what to do. Then she took a few steps back in the direction of the base, "Fine, Schadwe. But remember, you promised you wouldn't let yourself get destroyed..." She headed back, but she didn't go inside. She crouched behind some crates, watching everything that was going on. <I'm not just going to sit inside while everyone else gets destroyed, the least I can do is run in and help somebody if it's necessary.>

OOC: Wow, I go away for Christmas Eve and Chistmas Day and this happens. Oh well, I'll just have to chatch up.

Pelc started to wonder if he was going the wrong way, since the mountains were ending the way he was going. He thought that maybe he returned because I have been gone for awhile. He looked around to see where the base is, but didn't see anything he remembered.

Where am I?

He concluded that he was walking west, so he decided that he will return heading east.

He looked at his arm, it was frosting up, turning white. His swords heat also died to down to a warm glow.

I have to get home before I freeze

OOC: New chapter, I am putting you in the fight... ANd what kind of fire robot freezes?
