Cyber Wars: Chapter 6, "Are we there yet?" - Page 7

MC43 · 02-22-2004, 10:01 PM

OOC: I was waiting on the others... but since Wolf persisted...

Monk glared up at his friend, "I can take on the WHOLE WORLD, if I wanted to! Bring him on!" He struggled to his feet once more, "I'll kill him... I'll..." He calmed down after a moment, then looked at his feet. "I have to... relax. I have to... heal..." He let pain get the better of him as he fell on one knee, "Must... protect the others." He could feel his body fading from his control, everything getting darker. Not the death dark, just a really tired, want to sleep dark.

ooc: but before you can kill mastermind you have to either kill me or get me to move against mastermind.

Wolf99x · 02-22-2004, 10:16 PM

OOC: Sorry, I just wanted the RP to survive.

BIC: Wolf watched as Monk passed out.
"Well...I guess we can go then."

Wolf slung Monk over his right shoulder and started walking back towards the hallway that would take them back to the lobby of the building.

"Let's hurry...I've got a bad feeling that something or someone is coming for us..." Wolf said.

I hope it isn't the Agents. he thought.

Squishy Cheeks · 02-22-2004, 10:19 PM

well it will be a chapter in an escher picture.

Wolf99x · 02-27-2004, 09:54 PM

OOC: In the interest of making things interesting and keeping the RP alive...

BIC: Wolf reached the lobby, it was all clear. He looked back, Jade and Wraith were right behind him.

He set Monk down next to his comrades. "I'll scout out ahead, make sure it's all clear."

As he walked up to the door that led out of the building, he thought Finally, it's over.

He thought wrong

Just as he was about to open the door it flew off its hinges and nearly hit him in the head. As it was, Wolf took a glancing blow on his injured shoulder. As he yelled in pain and fell backwards, he saw what had smashed the door off.

Two figures dressed in business suits, one of which Ed recognized as Agent Smith.

Oh crap...it's him

Mr. MacKenzie, we meet again! Only this time...you have no escape. Smith sneered at Wolf.

Wolf struggled to his feet, drew his Uzi, and pointed it at the two Agents. "Don't count on it." Wolf said, sneering back.

Wolf turned towards Jade, still holding back at the basement entrance. "Jade, you and Wraith get Monk out of here, I'll hold them off as long as I can." he said

Then Wolf opened fire on the agents, even though he knew the Agents could dodge them. He ran for the reception desk while he wasted ammo as Smith and the other agent drew their Desert Eagles, and turned their attention to Wolf.

Wolf dove behind the desk as the first rounds of return fire flew.

I hope Jade and Wraith get Monk out soon...this is going to be over real quick even if I'm careful. he thought as he drew his Colt .45s, waiting to at least try and fire a shot they couldn't dodge.

OOC: Hope this isn't too out there.

OOC: G'ah! This will not die!

BIC: Jade stared wide eyed at the Agents and then at Wolf. Was he serious? Even if both her and Monk weren't injured, they'd never outrun the Agents, she'd seen how fast they move. She grabbed a grenade off of her belt and pulled the pin. She then threw the grenade while grabbing Wolf out from behind the desk. They began running as the explosion rocked the building. "Screw saving teh building, we gotta get out of here and I told you I'm not leaving anyone behind!" She opened her pda and patched into Control. "Control, this is Jade!" "Jade what in the hell did you do? You were told not to damage the building!" "General, there are Agents here, we need an immediate logout. The building is unimportant! We have the files." "Ok stand by for logout in thirty seconds." The Agents emerged from the debris unscathed just to see the team dissappear.
--------------------------------
Jade and the rest of the team appeared inside the control room. As soon as they emerged, medics rushed up to them. Before Jade and the others were wheeled away to the hospital wing, she gave the files to the General. "Jade, you and your team are to be commended for a job well done. This information is invaluable to our cause." "Thank you General, once we're all patched up we'll head to your office for debriefing." "Well, there's a little problem with that." "What do you mean?" "We haven't been able to contact Andy's team. We fear desertion or worse, so you'll have to head up that mission as well." "You can't be serious! Most of us are full of bullet holes and Monk is severely injured. You can't have us go on another mission right after this one." "I'm afraid it's our only choice." Jade couldn't take it anymore. She got out of her stretcher and punched the Commander in the jaw. Blood spurted out from his mouth and nose. Two guards held her back from hurting him any further. She struggled against them. "You can't do this! We've suffered enough!" The Commander got up, wiped his nose and spat on the ground. "This...will be noted in your record Colonel, and I expect you in my office when you are healed, or you will face a court marshal!" He stalked away in a huff and Jade struggled some more before finally sitting in the stretcher. Real professional Jade...

OOC: Just wanted to get the story moving again

Wolf99x · 03-02-2004, 05:04 PM

OOC: Well...our sudden logout ruined an idea of mine (MC43 knows what I'm talking about)...but I can still include it...just later in the RP.

BIC: Wolf watched Jade lose control on the General, but he understood how she felt. We almost all got killed there...and now he wants us to go find Andy's team. Frankly, I don't think that bastard would ever do the same for us...but it looks like we don't get a choice.

Wolf waited patiently while the doctors tended to the RW trauma from his CW bullet wound.

---

Back in his quarters, Wolf absent mindedly tugged at the bandage over his wounded left shoulder. Smith. he thought. He obvioulsy wants me dead...but worst of all...he knows about who I once was. If I ever want to stop him...I'l have to be able to learn to fight better. Guns are almost useless...the only choice left is for me to learn martial arts skills beyond the basic Kenpo they taught us at West Point. Unfortunately, Monk is out of action for now. However...

He rememberd that Beowulf, as a military AI, who had shared data with other military AIs, would most likely have picked up marital arts training from the Far-East AI constructs.

Plus, his greater speed and strength would make him almost like the Agents...so I'd be able to practice better. Wolf reasoned. He activated his computer and tried to locate his AI compadre, but all he got was an away message.

"Wolf, J2 and I are on a classified mission deep into Mastermind territory. Be back soon."

Wolf shrugged. Well...hope he succeeds.

***

OOC: And now the continuing adventures of J2 and Beowulf.
BIC: Beowulf and J2 had reached the objective after slogging their way through a batallion of Mastermind's elite guard. Beowulf stood guard while J2 planted the explosive on the main server terminals and set the detonation timer for 3 minutes

"Let's get moving" Beowulf said as he led the way back towards the exit of Mastermind's territory.

Just as the two AIs reached the exit of Mastermind's central core. Two AIs in business suits blocked their way. They were Agent Smith and Agent Jackson.

I'm sorry, this is a dead end. Smith said with a sly grin.

"I don't think so." Beowulf said as he raised his M16 and opened fire. Smith and Jackson dodged the shots as if they were moving through molasses.

Foolish gambit, Beowulf. Looks like your time has run out. Jackson said as he and Smith started to approach the AIs, guns drawn.

OOC: Well...they had to go somewhere!

MC43 · 03-02-2004, 05:16 PM

OOC: Death can wait!

Monk could only hear and feel the heat of the explosion. He forced his eyes open in time to see it, blinked once, and found himself back in the real world. Out of the Hell that was his mind. He tossed his head side to side as he saw his friends all torn up and battered. He also had a pounding headache, almost if a bomb was set off, but it wasn't anything he couldn't fight.

Fight... He forced his eyes to look upon Jade, slumping in her stretcher. She fought for me. She stayed there for me... "Jade..." He muttered with all the strength he could muster, which wasn't much. All he could really do was gurgle in his mouth. "J..." He could feel the darkness fading over him again, but he couldn't sleep, right now. No... just a few minutes... just... a... few... His eyes closed eyes once last time, not being able to force them open.

"J... Jade..."

Zephie · 03-02-2004, 05:43 PM

Wraith, in defiance of the medics, stands next to Monk and places a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, dude...you all right?"

A nurse grabs him by his arm just then. "Sir, you really need t--"

He throws her hand off and snaps back at her, "I told you, it's nothing! I'm not even hurt, go tend to them!"

Then he looks back at Monk and looks to see if he's responded, while she looks nervously between Wraith and a doctor indecisively.

batgirl · 03-02-2004, 07:01 PM

"Colonel, we have imputted the nanos with your specifications, and they are performing them as we speak." "Excellent, at least now I won't get shot up and won't be able to move." Jade looked at her legs. There were nanos entrering both bullet holes carrying small strings of metal filaments with them They then would lace her nerves and muscles with the filaments as well as microchips. "I'm not exactly sure what you're doing Colonel." "Well, I'm making my legs part technology. I'll be much more agile, my legs will be stronger and if I get shot again, I'll still be able to function." "Are you certain it's safe?" "As safe as I can get it. Once the tech is installed, they'll adapt and adjust to my body. Ah, they're done." The dermal regenrator was turned off and Jade carefully bent her legs. She didn't feel any pain, so she got up. "Hmm...feels fine to me." "You shouldn't be moving around Ma'am." "Well, I need to check on the rest of my team, but I'll come back if anything feels wierd." With that, Jade left and walked down the hall to Monk's recovery room. She knocked on the door waiting for him to tell her to come in.
------
J2 turned to Beowolf. "Any ideas? Cause all I got is one." She then turned to the Agents and charged in. She attacked with a flurry of punches and kicks, but most were blocked. She then flipped away from Smith and skidded next to Beowolf. "Well now I'm fresh outta ideas."
