Story:
The year is 2132. There is no government. There is no order. All hope is lost. Then came the game. Omnicide they called it. 40 random players were chosen in the beginning. They selected their weapons, and entered an arena. Those who didn't fight were put to death. Those who fought and died would come back in the "infirmary." Every week, the last 10 players on the scoreboard are killed to satisfy the people's blood lust. The only good the Omnicide Games have brought is the settling of some riots and crimes. The Omnicide Games test your mental and physical capabilities, and have crushed many minds and bodies before. Now, you have been selected. You and the other participants have escaped, and are now taking your places in the outside world. With your newfound fame, you could become great...
Or die trying.

Demos woke up. He cursed when he saw the white walls of his room inside the barracks again. He had dreamed of Aria, as he had every other night. Now he had to get up and go about the routine of the Omnicide Games. He swung from his bunk, and walked out the door. The mess hall was already halfway filled. After Demos got his breakfast of dry oatmeal, he sat alone. He didn't want to talk to anyone. Instead he wondered what the arena would be today.
-
My last battle was very intense, but when I woke up I was in the Infermery. I had won, as always. Before the game stated I owned the streets, now my entire "Army" is in here. Soon I will break free and I will take control of what is mine, the world. Until that happens I will kill all who get in my way of being number 1!
-
The loudspeakers came on in the mess hall.
"Today's battle will be capture the flag in a woodland environment. There will be many trees, hills, and bushes. You will need very good strategy to win in this match as there will be 4 teams, each trying to get all 4 flags at their base at once. There will be no re-spawns. Good luck."
The monotone voice cut out. Demos, now finished with breakfast, exited the room On the way out he looked at the score board. 11th. Pretty good. Last game he got 5 kills, that helped a lot. 2 more days left in the week, he was safe this time.
-
Kain was eating when the loudspeakers came on. "Today's battle will be capture the flag in a woodland environment. There will be many trees, hills, and bushes. You will need very good strategy to win in this match as there will be 4 teams, each trying to get all 4 flags at their base at once. There will be no re-spawns. Good luck."
Kain finished eating, and got ready for the battle.
-
-Capture the flag? Humph what is this game coming to these days?
I reported to my station to get equipped for today's battle. It was Team Rex, Team Nova, Team Luna, and Team Flare. (is that good for you Trainer?) Team Nova was the only team that always gave my team trouble. so today wasn't going to be boring at the least. When I got the the Equipment Room my men gave a loud holler for me. I had helped them to say out of the bottom 10 so far, so they had good reason to cheer. the battle was in 20 mineust, giving me plenty of time to get ready. I grabbed my signature weapon, a double edged sword called The Demon Blade (http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq214/Wolfkin_Nightclaw/Wolfkin_northclaw/Wolfkin%20Fantasy%20Weapons/FinalFantasy13LightningSwordCosplayWeapon.jpg) I had made before I got locked up in here...
-
Demos got ready for the game. He was on Team Luna, a band of misfits. He didn't care, they got the job done, only two of them were in the bottom 10, and he wouldn't miss them. Demos put on his armor, wrapped in a green mottled cloak, went to the wall and picked up his gunblade (http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/enraged_being/Hakujou%20Weaponry/gunblade.jpg). 10 minutes until the game started.
-
Kain got his spear, Gungnir((the spear in the picture for my profile)), and put on his armor. It was light, and easy to manuever in. Team Nova had refused to participate in the games as long as Kain was on their team, so he was put on Team Luna. Kain walked to the arena with the rest of his team, excited about the game.((How do you make the text a link?))
-
The Doors opened and My team rushed onto the field. Our first goal was to get to the most defensible fort and hold it before we went for the flags. There was one on a hill we went for it, but so was Team Flare, a weak and pathetic team. Both of our team meet and a battle started. After 2 minuets Team Flare retreated. The base was ours...
([*url=http://this is where the address goes.]text here.[/url] just lose the *)
-
Kain and team Luna weren't fast enough to get to the best base.
sh*t.
"Team Rex got the best base. Should we take it from them?"
-
Team Luna rushed out, Demos heard Kain ask a question.
"No, it's not worth it. We capture all the flags first, then wait for them to come to us."
They took an okay base, it would have to do. Demos volunteered to go for the first flag, along with 4 others.
-
Kain also volunteered. He was fast, and could get the flag back to their base quickly. Two other people volunteered. Kain could see three flags. "Which one should we get first?"
-
"Flare's. They're weak, and we shouldn't have any problem. We get in and out quick. No casualties."
Demos ran forward, motioning for the rest of them to follow him.
"We move silently and unseen."
-
All of my team busted into the Team Nova Base, we were going to knock them out of this game early... They were waiting for us and our teams met in a huge clash of man and steel. The few Novas were holding my Team back very well, until I drew my weapon and charged in, their resistance ended and we busted into their base we claimed their 3 flags. 3 down 6 to go I thought...
-
Kain silently followed Demos, constantly scanning his surroundings with his keen eyes for enemies. He didn't hate Demos like most other people on Team Luna and Team Nova. "I'm going to follow you on the trees. I might be able to surprise team Flare. The battle would go quicker." Kain spoke quietly, not wanting to announce their prescence to team Flare. Kain quickly climbed a tree, and went from tree to tree, following Demos.
-
We returned to our base and planed the flags deep into the ground. Next was Team Flare. We would crush them and get our flags. I left over half of my army to hold the fort and keep our flags. Then we set out for Team Flare... Of course they were the target of the other teams, we would wait and take the Flags from who ever got them from Team Flare!
-
Soon, Kain could see team Flare's base. He kept following Demos, and soon he could see people on Team Flare watching for the other teams on the top of their base.
"They're watching for other teams. We can't sneak up on them, they're watching from all sides."
-
Now in the confusion.
I let out the Team Rex call. CHARGE!!! TAKE THEM BY FORCE, TAKE THEM BY FEAR!!!! FOR THE VICTORY! (corny no?)
With that me team Charged down the hill and smashed into the weaker side of Team Flare...
-
"Crap, Team Rex got to them first. Maybe while they're fighting Team Rex we can sneak into Team Flare's base."
-
As the majority of my Fighting team smashed into the Flares I sent a small team to get at least one of the Flags, then we would retreat. Team Luna could have the other 2, for now. after 10 minutes my men returned with the Flag and my team pulled out, better to get one, then to lose more men than I already had...
-
Kain went into the base, and snuck past several people guarding the flags. Kain took both of them, and snuck out of the base. On his way out, a guard noticed him. Three guards were about to attack him now. He tossed the flags on the ground and took his spear off of his back. The guards attacked at the same time. Kain ducked, spun, and cut one of the guard's throat. He fell to the ground and teleported to the infirmary. Kain doged the attack of another guard, and pulled his arm towards him. He held the guards arm in one hand, and threw his spear at the other guard. The spear went deep into the guard, who teleported. Gungnir fell to the ground, to far away for kain to reach. Kain twisted the guards arm, and turned him. He pulled down on the guard's arm, pulling his back onto his shoulder. Kain pulled on his arm as hard as he could. He heard the guard's back snap, and the guard teleported. Kain ran to his spear and picked it up, then got the flags and ran back to the base with Demos and the other two men who had come with them.
-
When I got back to my Base Team Nova was assaulting it, trying to take our flags.
Men lets defend our Base! My me charged forward, people from both sides were being beamed out. But soon Team Nova fell back. We had only 20 more men left. To many risky assaults i thought. Now stealth time! Team Luma was next...
-
Demos, surprised by Kain's ability, led them back to base. It was a defense mission now. They had more numbers and a base. Teams Rex and Nova would come soon, if they hadn't already destroyed themselves.
"Back to base. We hold off there. No need to risk life."
-
We aimed our catapults at Luma's Base.
FIRE! At the sound of my voice 20 catapults launched their payload at Team Luma. I was hoping that the detraction would give me enough time to get in and get a few Flags. The Catapults kept firing as I snuck in. The Flags were closely guarded.
Hey get to the front lines, we need back up! I hoped that they would be stupid...
-
Demos watched from the fort they were at. He saw somebody from team Rex sneak into the base. That wasn't good. They needed those flags, and if team Rex had them, it would only complicate things. He called up 2 men. "Come with me, we're intercepting the team Rex flag carrier." They looked confused, but did what he said.
-
Kain stood at the top of the base. He saw Demos speak to two men, who followed him. Kain stayed at the top of the base, helping the archers. He was able to hit three men with a bow. They were too far to hit with bows. A boulder from a catapult hit the 5 men next to him.
"We won't last very long if we just stay here. Let's attack them. Half of us will stay here, the other half will come with me."
Kain led the soldiers out, and they ran towards Team Rex.
-
I saw Three people head my way, the gig was up. I drew my sward and ran it through three of the guards in the Flag room. Then the other men were on me in a second. I Sheathed my sword, to bulky, i drew my knives (http://i51.tinypic.com/ka4sbo.jpg.) and sank them into one of the guards before he got a chance to draw his weapon. Then I was surrounded by 3 more...
-
Stefan looked incredulously at his team. Team Flare was pathetic. He honestly couldn't believe he was matched up with them. He whipped their leader across the face with his Colt revolver.
"Yeah, we get it, bro. You're one Smooth Operator. I was really looking forward to getting killed off my first week here."
Their leader Was so frail, Stefan half expected him to drop dead from the impact of the pistol. Or be teleported away. He was still kinda new at this.
"Listen, man, I don't want to be at the bottom of that scoreboard any more than you do, but we didn't stand a chance there."
Stefan shook his head and walked off, towards the enemy alone. "Whatever, dude. I'm gonna pick off a few of those Luna and Rex buggers until the end of this match or until they get me. Then I'm gonna see if I can get a team change."
He checked his Single Action Army. Six shots left, and maybe another fifteen in his bag, which wasn't on the field. He didn't know if they would replenish his supply or not. Cracking his knuckles, Stefan holstered his gun. His fists, at least, never ran out of ammo.

(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kieXgoZknuM/S2FdllFJzSI/AAAAAAAAEmo/ZAQ9Z-nR1hw/s800/progress04.jpg)
Slowly crawling up the hill of rubble I could see a small battle going on below.
I took my Sniper L2004LAF and began to attach the supressor.
Taking aim I could spot Team Rex battling it out with Team Flare. Most importantly of all Kain himself surrounded by Team Flare closing in for the kill.
I controlled my breathing, altering my windspeed valve as I did so. I loaded a clip of 12mm rounds before aiming in on my first victim. As fast as a flash of lightning I shot them all between the eyes, their corpses dropping lifelessly to the floor, before moving back into the shadows behind the hill.
Kain was an enemy. But he had saved my life once, now I had just returned the favour.
-
I took my fighting stance and mocked them.
You know who i am don't you? You are afraid of me, aren't you? Team Luma has always been weak, because you are to scared to take chances! COWARDS!!! With that I charged at them. I sank one of my Knives deep into one and sliced the others throats. I walked up to the Flag stand and grabed two I stared on my way out, there was no one in my way.
-
Demos and his group caught up to where Rex was, silently. They were about to strike. He held up his hand, signaling for a stop. He then put down his fingers one at a time, until he had no more up. He turned the corner, and fired at Rex with his gunblade.
-
A Bullet wized past my head. I ducked and pulled out my daggers.
Cowards! Using guns! meet me in a one on one fight! I yelled from the corner I was hiding in.
-
Demos approached Rex, his blade held ready in his hand.
"No problem. I've got nothing to lose."
Demos lunged forward at Rex, unleashing a flurry of slashes and thrusts that would have surely taken down a worse opponent.
-
I dodged most of the attacks the only one that hit was one aimed for my cheek. Then i went on the offensive, I launched a coordinated attack. The only thrust that I wanted to hit, hit. i brought one of my daggers across the back of Demos leg, slicing it deep.
-
Demos felt a rush of hot pain through his whole body. He fell to his knees, but wasn't going down yet. He got up on one leg, and using the momentum from getting up, swung the blade horizontally towards his opponent's chest. The blade was no more than a centimeter away when a bullet from nowhere struck it, sending it lower, towards Rex's knee.
-
I took the few seconds I had to get as close to Demos as I could. Then he brought his weapon to my chest, a killer blow. Just as i was about to run into it a bullet bounced it twords my knee. i jumped and dodged the attack. I brought my daggers to his throat, when the Loud speaker announced that the game was over.
The Game is Over. In first Place Team Rex, second Team Luna, and tied for dead last Team Nova and Flare. Congratulations Team Rex and Luna. Then every thing went white and I was in the infermery. So close I thought. If I had killed Demos I would have been boosted to the top three.
-
Stefan's elbow was literally milimeters away from landing a killing blow to a member of Team Nova's skull when the game ended. He pulled it before he actually killed the poor schmuck.
He looked around, realizing how completely screwed he was. nearly the end of the week and no kills. To be fair, no deaths either.
He gave the nameless foe a shove on his shoulder. "Kid, you'd better hope there's a newcomer handicap the first week. I'll kill you if I die. No pressure, though."
He headed for the exit.
-
Demos woke up. Why had the game ended so early? No won had all the flags yet..
Whatever, he hadn't done bad. He was still fairly high on the leaderboard when he checked it. 13th. He could have done better.
Tomorrow was the last day of the week. He knew what that meant. Free for all. In an open arena. After that, they would get rid of the weak, get some new members, and do it all over again.
-
Lining up my sights I could see Stefan taking cover firing at team Rex. Lining up my sights ,measuring windspeed I was aiming the Jugula vein in his neck. I slowly zoomed in till I had a perfect shot.
Breathing slowly I pulled the trigger. But nothing happened. My Sniper clicked just as the Game over siren sounded. The guns were always deactivated after the Game over.
-
Kain woke up, and looked at the scoreboard. He was sixteenth. He wondered who had killed all of the men who were about to kill him. They couldn't have been from team Luna, they didn't have snipers. And if they weren't from Team Luna, why didn't they kill him too?
-
I walked into the mess hall, I looked at the score board. 4th, I need to do better. I found Demos in the hall I walked up to him.
Good Fight. You should join my team I am looking for new people to fill the three men I lost last week, and you have the skills.
-
Kain watched Rex walk over to Demos. He started talking to him, but Kain was too far away to here what he was saying.
-
"I've been with Luna the whole time I've been in this hell hole. You want new members, look to Flare. I hear they've got some members that want to leave."
Demos walked away.
-
Kain watched as they finished their conversation. Demos walked away. Kain wished that he knew what the conversation was about, but he decided it would be better not to ask. It wasn't any of his business.
-
I punched Demos in the face.
This week's Free For All is going to be your last! Watch your back! With that I went back to my table and ate the crap that they gave us every day...
-
Kain looked at Rex just as he punched Demos in the face. Kain walked over, and grabbed onto the collar of Rex's shirt. He punched him, and then hit him in the stomach with his knee.
"If you do that again, I'll kill you."
Kain walked back to the sleeping quarters, and got ready for the next match.
-
Demos felt his cheek. There was blood. No matter, he would live this week, and that's all that made a difference. Rex's anger would be his downfall. Demos went to a table and ate alone. He heard a fight behind him, but ignored it.
-
I wiped the blood form my mouth and looked at my men. They looked like they had seen a ghost.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?! Get back to eating, and when the Brawl starts if any one touches those two I will kill then. No one messes with Rex and lives to tell the tail.
I left the Mess Hall and went to the weapons room to Sharpen my sword and knives. Their heads were going to be mine!
-
Kain sharpened his spear, and then grabbed a sword, in case he lost his spear like in the last match. He sat on his bed and waited for the speakers to come on and announce when the match would start.
-
With the arrival of the next day, Demos awoke knowing what would happen. There would be the same morning routine as every day, and then the battle would be announced. As usual on every Saturday, it was a free for all. There would be no cover, no place to hide... Demos normally did better when he could hide and be stealthy, but in battles like these he had to rely on skill and strength. He normally did well, though. With 30 minutes until the battle, he sat and waited, cleaning his gun and blade.
-
Remember men, the only rule is kill as many as you can, before you are killed, last man standing get a huge point boost. Demos and Kain are mine, if you touch them I will kill you! Now get ready get you armor and wepons ready! If you are in the bottom 10 go out with a bang!
My men gave a loud roar, they were really scared poopless. They were cowards, but strong. 10 minuets.
-
Kain put his armor on, and got Gungnir and his sword. He waited for the match to start. There wasn't much time left until it started.
-
I put on a bullet proof vest and a helmet that would reflect a bullet, that way Demos gun wouldn't work on me, I was going to kill him with my knives. He lucked out last time, this time it was to the death! Just a little longer, one of my new guys peed himself, coward.
-
A speaker announced that the match was about to begin. It ordered them to walk to the arena. The speaker explained the rules like it usually did, and then the teams rushed out onto the field.
-
I drew my knives and ran twords the Team Luna Gate, killing any one in my way. Before I got there I killed 10 people I only wanted to kill 2. Then I saw Kain. I charged and slashed at his throat...
-
The game on siren soundedand the doors opened. I hid behind a pillar untill all others had left before sneaking out myself onto high ground. Taking position in a wrecked building I unholstered my Sniper setting my eyes on the two teams rushing out towards one another. Keeping to the shadows I controlled my my breathing, replacing my 12mm bullets with a Microbomb clip.
With my crosshairs on Demos I aimed in slowly. I took a shot aiming for his head, however the bullet curved brushing his hair attactching itself to another soldier behind him. His head exploded from the Microbomb and the shot had made an inpecably loud noise since I had not applied my Silencer for maximum range.
Holsering my Sniper on my back I ran to find another piece of cover before I was found. All I could feel was the frustration upon missing the shot.
-
Kain heard the sound of a sniper firing, and turned towards where the shot came from. As he turned, he saw Rex charging at him. He slashed at Kain's throat. Kain sidestepped, and caught Rex's arm.
-
Taking a secondary position inbetween a crashed Helecopter, I loaded a clip of Incendiary ammo.
I saw Kain and Rex battling it out in the center of the battlefield. I took a shot at Kaines temple, but my bullet bounced straight off.
I pulled back the bolt action hastily to ready another shot untill suddenly I was snuck up upon by another fighter with Fiberwire. With a killer grip around my neck I could feel my breath slipping away. The blood rushing to my head as I was strangled.
Grabbing my two pronged knife (http://www.costumeshop.us.com/images_products/ninja_fighting_knives_38257sma.jpg) from my belt, I plunged it deep into my assailents kneecap before breaking free. Spinning slicing his throat in one fluid motion.
JerryEDIT: Made this url better :)
-
Kain caught my right arm, so I wheeled around and cut his arm with my left knife. i broke free and aimed a slash at his kneecap...
-
Rex cut Kain's arm. Kain ignored the pain and jumped back to avoid being hit in the knee. He stabbed at Rex with Gungnir, hoping that it would kill him.
-
Kain's spear came down right next to my head. In a second I broke the tips of it off, making it useless. I stood up and regained my fighting stance. I sheathed my daggers and drew my sword...
-
Kain flipped his spear around, holding the front of it towards Rex. He waited for Rex to strike, ready to parry his attack.
-
A member of my team was running at Kain with his weapon aimed at him, trying to kill him. I threw one of my dagger into his head.
This is between you and me!
I leveled my sword and charged in at Kain's neck.
-
Pain was underrated. Stefan was in a fistfight with one of the largest men he'd ever seen. Russian, by the looks of it. And a wrestler. Sure, he could just shoot him, but that would be an unfitting defeat for someone like this. Twisting his way out of a headlock, Stefan planted a solid knee into the Russian's face, whom promptly disappeared to the infirmary.
"Okay, cool. Now I actually have a kill. Better than a lot of these older guys at least. I wonder what team he was from."
A moment later, he heard someone shouting a short distance away, though there was too much chaos to see exactly who'd made the shout. He sounded angry. And maybe a little bratty. Stefan followed the sound. The voice came again.
"This is between you and me!"
"Heh. What a drama queen."
-
A few members of Team Flare were charging towards the infirmary.
A giant of a man was on his knees slowly falling towards the ground. I took a shot at his heart to put the poor bastard out of his misery.
The other members of Team Flare stopped since they had seen the bullet fly towards their teamate, before running to take cover.
I grinned smugly. Where you going? The party's only starting. I thought to myself before aiming in, and shooting all 5 of them in the back of the head.
Who ever they were chasing must have been inside the Infirmiry. There was an oil tankard truck nearby. I took a shot with a Tranquiliser dart carefull not to set the Oil inside on fire. Oil began to seep out making its way inside the Infirimary. I readied an Incendury round.
-
Kain blocked Rex's sword with his spear and spun and swung his spear at Rex's stomach.
-
Stefan spotted the source of all the angst. There was a fight going on between someone in archaic, dragonlike armor, and a blue haired kid with a sword. They seemed faster than the others. Possibly at the top of the board.
Stefan waved at them and shouted a greeting, not particularly trying to get their attention. At the same time, he ducked under an attack from someone else and drew his revolver, firing a shot directly into his sternum.
-
Kain heard a gunshot and looked over to where it had come from. A man lay on the ground, and another guy with a revolver was standing near the man. Kain returned his attention to Rex so that he wouldn't be caught off guard.
-
Stefan looked back two the two fighting. Everyone else seemed a little scared of them. He was positive, though, that at least one of them noticed his greeting.
"Okay, fine. If you guys are too busy with your big and apparently climactic battle, I've got time. Just let me know when you've got time for the little guy."
He holstered his revolver and looked around for someone too stupid to wear body armor. Eventually he found someone with studded brass knuckles. Grabbing him by the collar, Stefan kneed him in the stomach, then killed him with an overhead elbow to the soft spot of his skull.
"Ya know what? I think I just might make it this week."
-
(You can't kill people in the infirmary, it is far away, and they would actually die if you killed them there.)
Demos dodged a blow from behind from somebody stupid enough to think he could sneak up on him. He wheeled around, hitting the assailant in the head with the blunt end of his blade. He fell to the ground, begging for mercy. This scrawny kid must have been near the bottom of the board. It was a shame. Demos picked him up, shot another player in the knee, sending him tumbling then said, "Kill him."
"Th-thanks."
"Don't mention it." Demos answered. After the new player had reached the man, he turned around again. Demos plunged his sword into his stomach. Before he died, Demos whispered in his ear.
"You think you're going to make it here? I know you think you're so smart, doing this. But it doesn't work. The reason no one else uses the same, innocent strategy as you is because they're all dead. Good luck."
The kid dissapeared. Demos shot the other man in the head. 2 kills, and it was pretty easy, too. He thought he might make it a while in this living hell.
Demos turned to see Rex and Kain fighting. They seemed to be fairly evenly matched. He decided it was time to get in a real fight, he was going to live this week anyway, why not have some fun? He ran up to Kain silently, placed a hand on his shoulder and vaulted him, using his foot to hive him some extra lift. He landed at Rex's feet, making a cut at his knees.
-
Someone had joined the fight between the Dragon armored kid and the blue haired swordsman.
"Really? Really! Am I the only person here who can't get a decent fight in?"
picking up a medium-sized rock, Stefan threw it in their general direction before turning around and marching away. He'd find some other high-ranked fighter to take down. Maybe it'd be a straight-talking black guy. Or a businessman with an attitude.
-
I dodged both of the attacks. I stood up to see who had interfered with my fight with Kain, Demos.
Ah, just the person I wanted to see. This saves me the trouble of finding you when I am done with Kain.
I walked to where I had thrown my dagger and picked it up. The sun hit my sword (http://i54.tinypic.com/9kox9w.jpg.) and cast a glare on Kain and Demos' eyes. I took advantage of that and struck. I made sure to aim for Kain's hand, I didn't want him to have his spear much longer.
-
Stefan was having exactly zero luck finding someone high on the scoreboard. Then an idea was born, from the dark recesses of his memory of really cool movies. He found someone using a shortsword, and took it from him, hip tossing the previous owner. Then, he looked around for someone this might work with. The three guys behind him were too wrapped up in themselves, and most other people weren't garnering that much attention. Then he saw it.
A freakishly large man, not quite as big as the Russian from earlier, but still big enough to be seen from across the field, was fighting off three people with a shield and sword about fifty meters away. Drawing his revolver, Stefan fired a round into the big guys' shield, whom turned around to face him. Stefan approached the guy, starting at a walk and slowly advancing to a slow sprint. Reaching him, Stefan let out the manliest scream he could muster, jumping into the air and burying the entire sword into the man's neck.
He fired another revolver round into the air, screaming to everyone, "Is there no-one else? IS THERE NO-ONE ELSE!?"
That got the attention of a lot of people. Silently, Stefan thanked Troy for not only being an awesome movie, but also for making the scene that he had just executed. He holstered his revolver and raised his arms into his basic Muay Thai stance.
-
Heheh I think I found a opponent a member of team nova named renegade thought
he then throws a rock at some guy with a revolver and yells wanna fight
-
A rock flew past Stefan's head. For one hot second, he thought it was the rock he threw earlier, but then he remembered that wasn't even remotely possible.
He turned to face the source of the rock. There was some kid with a sword asking if I wanted to fight. Again with the swords. Doesn't anyone around here use a ball and chain, or a scythe?
He raised his hand and pointed at the kid. "Well, buddy, I just kind of killed the biggest guy I could find to get everyone's attention, so yeah. I wanna fight. Come at me, bro."
-
Well he wanted a fight renegade thought as he started to run at the guy with a gun
He got ready to stop the bullets with his sword he also wondered what his first battle where he was in control of himself would be like
-
A true master of Muay Thai can kick with over three tons of force. His gun holstered, Stefan waited until the kid was close enough, then brought up his right leg in a high kick aimed at the kid's head.
-
I zoomed in on Stefan having a martial arts syle battle with another Fighter. I took a shot at Stefan yet the bullet curved hitting the guy he was fighting with, his body then slumped over Stefan
I pulled back the bolt action before Firing once again at his Temple.
-
Two bullets whizzed past Stefan's head. One planted itself in his newfound opponent, the other one narrowly missing his wrist. The second bullet tore a small amount of fabric from the sleeve of his coat. Freezing for a moment, he stared at the rip in his jacket, then twisted his head to face the direction the bullet had come from. He saw nothing at first. Then, if only for a moment, he could see the barrel of a large-caliber sniper rifle. Mechanically, Stefan stared walking towards the sniper.
He'd let the man who'd sliced his eye out live. This guy even could have gotten away with taking his target. But nobody, NOBODY, messed with his jacket and got off scott-free.
-
A bright lights shined into Kain's eyes, blinding him. Rex's sword cut off Kain's right hand. It hurt, but he tried to ignore the pain. Kain dropped his spear, so he drew his sword with his left hand. At least his hand would be healed after the game. He swung at Rex's neck with his sword, and stepped back so that he wasn't in Demos' way.
-
Stefan dodged the bullet by not more than an inch. As soon as I saw the fabric tear on his jacket Stefan began running towards my position.
I holstered my Sniper before setting a claymore at my position. Falling back I took cover behind a wrecked car, loading up an Armour Piercing round to shoot the claymore Incase Stefan managed to detect it.
-
my opponent thinks i am done thats a mistake renegade thought renegade ran up behind the guy and sucker punched him in the back i maybe i should have just stabbed him thought renegade
-
Someone punched Stefan in the back. Compared to the boxers he'd faced in the past, this guy's punch barely registered as an attack. Swordsmen need to drop their weapons and get their hands dirty more often.
He turned around and threw and elbow into the skull of the one attacking him, before turning around and continuing the march towards the sniper. Right now he didn't have time for anyone else. Someone had torn his jacket.
-
My attack hit, Kain had no hand! I took my fighting stance and taunted them to come and get me.
-
Demos dropped his weapon.
"Drop your weapon, Rex. Kain, step back."
-
Demos dropped his weapon.
Fools!
I brought my sword up into Demos body...
-
As Rex stabbed Demos, Kain jumped at him with his sword, trying to kill him before he could get his sword out of Demos' body.
-
My sword was stuck, so I detached one of the smaller blades and blocked Kain's attack.
You are weak. Now I will kill you!
I leveled my sword and charged.
-
Kain tackled Rex as he ran by, and tried to stab him with his sword while he was on the ground.
-
Kain was a fierce fighter, but I had far more experience that he did. I let him try to stab me, but at the last moment I shifted and sent him into the ground.
You are very strong, it will be a honor when I kill you.
I walked up to my sword and pulled it out of the ground. I reattached the smaller sword I had detached and got ready for Kain's attack.
-
Kain quickly got up.
"I may be inexperienced, but I was trained by one of the best men that was ever in the Omnicide Games."
Kain watched Rex, waiting for a sign that he was going to attack.
-
Kain was waiting, I would oblige him. I started walking around him, trying to find the sweet spot where I could blind him. I found it, but instead of attacking him i threw one of my daggers, hitting him in the leg. Then i detached the two smaller swords and charged him.
-
Demos choked.
"Heh.. Heh heh.. Honorless.. Bastard.."
He dissapeared, then came back in the infirmary, still laughing. He survived. Who gave a rat's ass what record he had.
-
Kain was hit in the leg by Rex's dagger. He pulled it out, and saw Rex charging at him, so he charged at Rex. When Rex was close enough, he spun and sliced at Rex's legs, then stabbed at his chest.
-
i really need to think more thought renegade maybe.. if i..almost... got it! thought renegade hey you yelled renegade he made a slash with his sword it shot a shock wave right at the guy he was fighting before
-
Kain cut my leg and his sword dug deep in my chest.
We go together!
I grabbed Kain's Sword so he could not run, then I drove both of my swords hilt deep into Kain's Chest. We both Teleported to the Infermery.
-
Kain teleported with Rex, and they ended up in the infirmary. At least he had made it through the week. At least he had shown that he wasn't as weak and inexperienced as everyone had thought.
-
(No, seriously Meowth. Type better.)
In mid step, some kind of rupture in the wind caught Stefan and hurled him about three yards forward. He landed flat on his back.
"Kid, I dunno if you realize, but I'm not in the freaking mood right now."
Standing up, Stefan turned to face the obnoxiously persistent swordsman. The sniper could wait. He struck the basic Thai Boxing stance.
"And for the love of god, kid. Get into a workout plan. You hit like a little girl."
-
I got out of my bed and walked up to where Kain was.
You are stronger that I expected. I respect that, but as long as you are on an enemy team I will kill you.
I held out my hand for a hand shake...
-
I holstered my Sniper on my back. Stefan must have not seen me, somethings gotta be said for paranoia.
I defused the strapping it to my belt. It was pitchblack in the shadowy position I was situated in. Touching my temples my Night vision switched on. I spotted nearby there was another hill opposite with a wrecked building situated on top of it. I grabbed my grapple hook from my leg attatching it to the inside of my Sniper barrel.
Aiming for a window of the house I landed a perfect shot tugging my Sniper to make sure the line was secure, before pressing the retract button as it pulled me upwards towards the house.
-
Kain was surprised when Rex held out his hand. He was cautious, but he shook his hand.
"You were stronger than I expected too."
Kain looked at his right hand. It was like nothing had ever happened to it.
-
I saw the look on Kain's face and knew what he was thinking.
I am only a basted on the field, unless you piss me off. I want to help you become stronger, you have great potential. Your problem is you are really agile, but you don't have power or rage. You need to be angry when you go onto the field. If you want my help meet me at my teams training center.
With that I left the room and went to the mess hall so i could see the Scoreboard. There was only one person higher than me...
-
Realizing that he was letting the tearer of his coat get away, Stefan drew his Colt and emptied the remaining three rounds into his attacker's leg before hurrying on towards the sniper's position. By now, most of the other fighters had killed each other off, with only a few left, most of them bleeding out or fighting with pathetic exhaustion.
Pausing to reload his revolver, Stefan noticed that the sniper was gone. looking around for a bit, he spotted a shadowy figure in the rubble of a building not too far away. He rushed over to it, breaking someone's leg on the way. He would soon have vengeance.
-
Kain was happy that he had someone to train him. His father hadn't finished training him when he died. He watched the various screens in the room that showed the battle going on. He would watch one screen that had an interesting fight going on, and when it was done, he would watch a different screen. He saw the person who had waved at Rex and himself while they were fighting, and watched him. He shot someone in the leg, and ran off. He broke someone's leg, and ran towards an old building.
-
Surveying the Battlefield I shot two Team Flare members in the heart, Before destroying a giant of a mans kneecaps.
I froze as I heard footsteps approaching the building. I poked my head out the window silently. I could see Stefan approaching. To close for a Sniper shot, and the building could not survive a claymore blast. I took out both of my knives, stacking up against the door. I licked both of my blades as the footsteps drew closer.
-
When I walked into my training room my men were surprised to see me in so early.
I told them that I would be training Kain. They were pissed, but I didn't care. He was good and I need strong people in my army...
-
Expecting the sniper had seen him, Stefan did an army roll into the room rather than trying to step in silently. Turning around, he saw the sniper. He was almost... robotic. He drew his Colt.
"Nice gun. Could use a silencer, but hey, I'm not much of a sniper."
-
Kain noticed that Rex had left. He considered going to Team Rex's training room, but decided wait until tommorow, since there wasn't going to be a match that day.
-
I grinned at Stefan before falling back and sweeping his feet, plunging downwards aiming my knives towards his heart.
-
I grew tired of practicing my sword strikes, I didn't want what had happened on the field to happen again. So I went to look for Demos, I wanted to ask him why he dropped his sword in a fight...
-
Stefan blocked the Sniper's jab at his heart, backstepping to a safe kicking range.
"Not a talkative one, are you? C'mon, you know you want to gloat about SOMETHING."
He threw a low kick at the Sniper's shins with enough power to smash a cinder block.
-
As I looked for Demos I passed a T.V. They were already playing Kain and my fight all over the Interlink. We just made the President of this corporation rich... They would be playing that fight for months.
-
Demos saw Rex watching a TV screen. He turned away. Demos didn't feel like talking.
-
I tried to dodge the kick it narrowly missed my shins, instead almost shattering my heel.
Losing balance I fell to the ground, rolling backwards as I did so using my neck to propell me to my feet.
As I was landing, I threw one of my knives in the barrel of the colt Stefan was still holding in his hand.
-
Stefan pulled the knife out of his revolver. The barrel was completely useless. Holstering it, he stepped forwards and threw a cross at the Sniper's throat.
"Dude, you better pray to whatever god you believe in that you can replace that barrel after this match."
-
I caught the cross before throwing it at the Clay more, Stefan had rolled over.
Opening up my visor I gave him a quick wink before jumping out of the window. There was huge explosion as the building started coming down
-
Stefan was hurtled into the wall by the explosion. He could probably go after the Sniper if he tried, but he didn't particularly care at this point.
He shouted after the Sniper, "You'd better replace my freaking barrel, man! 5.5 milimeter!"
Shortly afterwards, the building collapsed and Stefan shortly afterwards found himself in the infirmary. Immediately he checked the sleeve of his jacket. Miraculously, it was mended. He checked his gun. The barrel was still broken.
"...Eh. He gets me a new one and I'll call it even."
-
Kain saw the building collapse, and saw Stefan teleport. Kain looked at the other screens, but nothing interesting was happening, so he got up and left. He walked to team Rex's training room. Team Rex's men looked pissed about something. Kain waited for Rex to come.
-
I saw Demos walk away, he didn't look to be the mood to talk. So I left him and went back to my Training Room. My men were looking at a corner, you could see that they were pissed. That meant it was Kain.
Men you know that the RGA always needs new recruits and this is where I train them. He is a member and you will respect him! My men immediately stopped harassing him and backed off.
Sorry my men hate new comers. This is the training grounds for the RGA, here I will make you into a fighting machine. Welcome!
-
Polishing my Sniper I looked upwards to see Stefan walking towards me, I knew what his intentions were.
I grinned before looking downwards again grabbing some gun oil to lube up my bolt action.
-
"Let's start then."
Kain wondered if Rex's training would help him at all.
-
First your problem. You have no rage. It's that simple, you need a reason to fight. You said that you were trained by the master of this game, what happened to him? Why do you need me to train you if he did?
-
Stefan grabbed a candle off a nearby desk and started fiddling with it. It wasn't ideal, but a heavy-yet lightweight object might come in handy in the near future. Snipers aren't very trustworthy.
"Okeydoke. I get that you're trying to be Mr. Mysterious Sniper and not say anything. I don't particularly care about that right now. I just want a new barrel. So, you wouldn't happen to have a five point five millimeter Single Action Army barrel offhand, would you?"
-
"Whoever runs the games wouldn't let him leave when he got old, so he was eventually killed. He didn't finish training me, so that's why I accepted your offer."
-
Good, were you close? If you were use it. Like me my anger comes from what they did. Do you know who I am? If you don't you are more of a rookie than I thought.
-
"He was my father. And no, I don't know who you are."
-
I am Rex Argin. Out side of these wall I am in charge of an army called Rex's Grand Army or the RGA. When the games started me and most of my men were rounded up, because the people feared us. So we would make good trial runs. If you want more info on me you will have to go to List (do you know where I got that? ;)) And for your training, you father. Good, now how did you feal when he died because they wouldn't let him out?
-
"I didn't care. I thought he would stay at the number one spot on the board until they let him out. Then he died. I hated the men who run these games, and I still do."
-
Good, now how much weight can you lift? And not just once, but for 10 minutes at least.
-
"It depends on why I'm lifting it."
-
You, over here! I called to my biggest guy.
Yes sir!?
You and Kain are going to spar. I looked at Kain Lets see how good you indurence is. Neither of you can land a knock out blow just grapple.
-
The man tried to punch Kain as soon as they started. Kain sidestepped and caught his arm. He hit the man in the stomach with his free hand, then threw him to the floor.
-
(I'm going to mod the guy you are fighting.)
I tried to throw a punch, but he dodged and hit me in the gut. I got up and wrapped him in a bear hug. I was squeezing the air out of this puny punks lungs...
-
Stefan was hit with a headache. He had the feeling that someone, somewhere not too far away, was disregarding all logic of how to grapple.
-
(blame TrainerX! he said that the guy tried to punch his light out!)
-
I looked upwards at him, before smirking to myself. Holstering my Sniper I got to my feet and began to walk out into the Mess hall. As I was walking a grabbed a cassete tape out of my Pocket. "Dream on" by super tramp throwing it over my shoulder to Stefan as I walked.
-
Stefan caught the cassette tape.
"Really? a cassette tape? What is this, 1982?" Stefan muttered as he read the words on it. 'Dream On'.
Dropping the tape, Stefan tossed the candle straight up to about shoulder length.
"Alright, have it your way."
Catching the candle, he threw it at the Sniper, hitting his rifle about halfway down the barrel. It must have been a pretty heavy candle, or a really fast pitch, because the rifle was bent about an inch to the left.
-
I froze. Looking across at my Sniper I could see it had been badly dented, bent at least 45 degrees.
Bloodshot eyed I turned around to face Stefan every fiber in my body boiling with white hot anger.
This wasnt just a Sniper. This was my Sniper.
I began to approaching him, till we were just a nose tips distance from eachother.
-
"Doesn't feel very good, does it?"
Stefan wasn't used to using underhanded tricks like that, but hey, he was dealing with a guy that hides from up to a mile away to kill people without them being able to fight back.
"I broke your gun. To be fair, you broke mine. And my father's. That was a Single Action Army you mucked up."
-
I held out my hand respectively
He broke my gun, I broke his. I was only fair, and now we were even.
-
The Sniper held out his hand. After a moment, Stefan took it, shook once, and released. Just like dad used to teach.
"Can I at least get a name? I can't keep having my internal narrator call you The Sniper."
-
I walked over to the radio sitting on the Mess hall canteen. Tuning it in to the Rap station. Booming out the radio came.
MY NAME IS... MY NAME IS... WAH?... MY NAME IS. THE REAL SLIM SHADY.
Before sitting down, seeing if my Sniper Barrel was fixable. All joking aside, to answer Stefan's question I took out one of my knives throwing it with full force at the name above my locker. Eclipse.
-
There was officially a knife jutting out of a locker.
"Huh. Eclipse. Well, Eclipse, I see you like music. But seriously. A cassette?"
Stefan realized he was hungry. Not particularly feeling like waiting in line for food, he grabbed a slice of pizza off someone else's tray and sat down, pulling the plug on the radio. He wasn't a big rap fan.
"By the way, Eclipse, you seem to be running all the technology in this joint. Would you happen to have the remote to the TV?"
-
I shook my head Solomly before a voice came pumping out the speakers.
The next game will start in 30 minuites.
I staticly shot up to get a replacement Sniper. Bolt Actions I had worked with my whole life. But Semi-Automatics looked, ligter, easier to shoot. Grabbing a P561 I ran to get my Ammunition. As I ran I spotted the TV remote in the ammunitions locker, poking my head round the door I tossed it to Stefan.
I had to get in the Kill zone. I proceeded towards the firing range for practise with my new weapon.
-
Demos heard the announcement. It was another free for all. However, this would be in an abandoned store. Lots of hiding places. Demos liked it.
"Two games in one day? That's never happened before."
He figured they must have some ties to break beore tomorrow. This was it. The last game of the week. Demos got ready. He decided on different weapons this time. Wrist knives. He had used them several times before and done well.
-
I heard the announcement and broke Kain and Larry up before they hurt them selves. I gave Kain a spear to replace the one I had broken.
Here you might need this.
I put on my armor and fixed my blades making sure that they were in proper place and could be easily accessed.
-
Stefan caught the remote, looking angrily at the speakers. He didn't want to go a match without his Colt. Looking up at the TV, he changed it to the Military channel, seeing if anything could inspire him for a new temporary weapon. They were having a special on the Atom Bomb.
Standing up, he went to the armory to see what he could see. After a host of swords, spears, and knives, he came across a small selection of firearms. He spotted a few spare parts in a box, one of which was a 4.5" Single Action Army barrel. It was shorter than he liked, but he could make due until he found a proper replacement.
-
((You said that the rest of Team Rex was pissed about Kain training there, so that's why I made him try to punch me. And my post ended abruptly because my mom was pissed about me being on the computer, and threatened to ground me for a month from computer and videogames.)) Kain gratefully took the spear, and put on his armor. He liked that he could be stealthy in this match, since there were lots of hiding places. Kain grabbed a knife, and waited for the speakers to tell them to go to the arena.
-
((I know I was joking.))
Kain grabbed the spear and ran off to his teams gate. I was going to kill every one I saw, there were only 2 points keeping me away from the top spot...
-
Kain had dropped to nineteenth after the last match, since he had only killed Rex. Kain went to the entrance to the arena. Ten minutes until the match started.
-
Renegade heard the announcement and said "Its pay back time!"
-
Stefan was amazed. Their next arena... it was a superstore. K-mart, Wallmart, it really didn't make a difference. It was big, it was light, and it was full of walls dividing the aisles. Certain snipers might have a hard time messing up his clothes again.
-
renegade looked around and thought "great i am looking for one guy in the entire arena how could this be worse"
-
One of the swords-children from the last game was mumbling to himself outside the arena. Stefan bopped him on the head.
"Well, it starts getting worse now. The match doesn't start for another few minutes, kiddo."
-
renegade looked up and said "good luck"
-
I stepped in to the Arena confused.
How could this possibly real. Someone had staged a Supermarket battle.
I ran across diving behind a meat counter. There was a door behind it labled "Staff Only"
Grabbing my Sniper from my back I took out the firing pin and began to pick the lock, followed by a satisfying click as the door slowly opened.
To watch my back I took out my MP43 silenced pistol and placed it one side of the door. I took out a trip wire attatching it to both one side of the door and my pistols trigger. Who ever entered was never gunna see their feet in good condition again.
There was a set of stairs which I clambered up silently, which lead to a control office. There was a window surveying a good majority of the Supermarket. Touching my temples I activated my Night vision surveying for my first target.
-
renegade saw a sniper go in a door and thought "if i'm ever gonna get a kill without being killed i'm gonna need to get rid of that sniper" renegade went to the door he's seen this trap before he used more micro bots he built to keep the gun from firing and went in silently
-
If it were a higher quality store, Stefan might have checked to see if he could find a new barrel. Too bad it was Wallmart.
As he wandered around, he saw the brat from earlier sneaking into an employee's only room. Drawing his colt, he one-hand fired two shots at him, holstering the gun and continuing on his way.
-
I heard two gun shots aimed at the bottom of the stairs. Obviously someone was coming up.
Unfortunately my Pistol was at the bottom of the stairs and the trap must have been disabled. I looked around the room quickly, spotting a few Manequins in the corner of the room dressed as characters inupcoming Xbox game; Splinter cell.
I grabbed my Sniper posing, pretending to be one of them.
My own voice echoed in my head.
If I survive this game. Im going to slap my self for thinking of such a terrible idea.
-
renegade looked behind him and thought "who ever fired at me is a bad shot" as he walked in the room he heard someone from up stairs and started fiddling with his wrist computer he then thought "cool it worked" his sword started to change shape it turned into a gun he then thought "if it worked right i should be able to switch between gun mode and sword mode i just hope i live" he started going up he took of his cloak and waved it around the corner
-
"Ho-ly Jesus."
There was a grossly obese man on his knees, tearing open snack bags and devouring their contents, before tossing them aside and moving on.
"I.... I can't even kill it. This is just too sad." Stefan immediately turned and left, on his way to the sports section.
-
his coat was in one peace so renegade walked in silently he saw a guy acting like manikin probably hoping renegade was stupid he shot the guy in the his left leg and his right arm
-
Stefan heard noises coming from the Employees only room that the brat had been walking into. Out of curiosity, he wandered in. There was a pistol lying on the floor, which *screamed* Eclipse. Nobody else here used firearms.
Drawing his Colt, Stefan crept up the staircase, poking his head around the corner at the top. Eclipse was lying on the floor, shot in two places, and the brat was holding a gun out in front of him. Stefan aimed and planted a .44 round right between the brat's shoulder blades.
"Eclipse, you are one Smooth Operator, you know that?"
-
I nodded at him, managing a smile clenching my shoulder.
Stumbling to my feet a kicked Renegade in the face, before opening the bottom half of my mask to spit on him.
I needed to get to the infirmiry.
-
renegade managed to turn around and said to stefan "this is the 4th bullet you've put into me i will get pay back one day"
-
Stefan raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, that was the fourth. I'm actually tempted to make it five, but I'll strike you a deal. There are five bullets in this revolver, and one empty cartridge. Ever play Russian Roulette? The original way it was played was with five bullets in the chamber, and it was aimed at a prisoner that was supposed to be executed. See, the guards were so bored they thought of a game. If the prisoner was lucky enough to get the empty slot, he's be set free."
He spun the cartridge.
"The only difference? Right now, that empty slot means Eclipse kills you instead of me."
Stefan aimed the revolver at the brat and pulled the trigger.
-
The revolver clicked. I grinned to myself before picking up Renegade, throwing him face first through the window; The glass shattering into a thousand pieces.
-
renegade braces for impact and rolls out of the fall and thought "huh i actually am glad that i was experimented on"he the uses the micro robots to heal his shoulder blades and walks back in and changes his gun into a sword and walks back in knowing if something like that happens again he's a goner he walks up the stairs and says "you ready for round two?"
-
Stefan could almost FEEL the emoticon falling over his face. (|:[)
He holstered his gun and went into his Muay Thai stance, pushing Eclipse's sniper away from him with his foot.
"Sorry, buddy. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... no, I don't trust you.
-
while Stefan told eclipse he didn't trust him renegade shot a shock wave at Stefan by slashing his sword he then made a bullet proof shield out of his sword by slashing and making shock waves so that they would block any bullets
-
I raised an eyebrow as Renegade walked up the stairs still clenching my shoulder.
I unsheathed my knife throwing it with lightning speed. The knife his Renegade handle first as it weakly dropped to the ground after hitting him in the chest.
I was very relieved no one could see my face, cause I was pulling my; "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" face.
As amazing as this party was I wasnt going to stick around for much longer. I leapt towards my Sniper, rolling as I hit the ground, using the momentum of getting up to burst out of the window.
-
renegade felt the knifes handle hit him renegade kicked the knife back to eclipse and said"this fight is between me and Stefan if you interfere again the knife will be thrown at you"
-
"Now where have I heard that line before? Oh, yeah! That drama queen from the last game!"
Stefan threw a few jabs to the brat's throat, ending with a hard left, landing square on his nose.
-
"Ho-ly Jesus."
There was a grossly obese man on his knees, tearing open snack bags and devouring their contents, before tossing them aside and moving on.
"I.... I can't even kill it. This is just too sad." Stefan immediately turned and left, on his way to the sports section.
((lol)) Kain went from aisle to aisle, trying to find people to kill. There was no one in the aisle he was in, so he went to the next one. There was a man in this aisle. His back was facing Kain. Kain quietly walked over to the man, who looked to see if anyone was in the aisle Kain was just in. Kain pulled the dagger out, and held his hand over the man's mouth, preventing him from making any noise. Kain's dagger plunged into his back. The man went limp and teleported. Kain noticed a door that said "employees only" above it. Kain made his way towards the door.
I'll wait there and kill anyone who sneaks by
-
I came flying out the window landing on a table. It wasnt the best landing, But atleast I was alive.
I spotted Kain waiting outside the door. I got to my feet and legged it towards the infirmiry, using the centre isle as a short cut.
Unsheathing my Knives I could see someone sitting down at the end of the isle. As I approached there was a a ginourmous fat man scoffing a pack of doritos. It dont think I was able to kill him. Slice his neck and a 1 foot sub would probably pop out.
I tried to knock him out punching him in the back of the neck. Nothing happened. His fat wobbled, and the happy chap carried on eating.
-
When Kain got to the door, someone landed on a table. And he had a sniper.
He must have been the one who shot those guys who surrounded me in that match. I'll find him later.
Kain was about to step through the door when he noticed a pistol aimed at his feet, and a wire where he was about to step. Kain carefully stepped over it, and went inside. He heard two people fighting, and quietly snuck upstairs, where he saw two people fighting.
-
A kick Stefan threw carried his line of sight towards the staircase, which was now occupied by the one with the spear. He immediately drew his gun on the new arrival.
-
renegade followed Stefan's lead and changed his sword into a gun and started firing at the guy with a spear
-
"You know something? That fifth bullet is overdue."
Stefan put the barrel of his gun to the brat's temple. The only empty slot had already passed. He pulled the trigger.
-
renegade walked behind Stefan and said "so you shot the clone i made out of micro robots" said renegade. renegade then kicked Stefan in the leg and shot him in between the shoulder blade
-
I had taken a position behind a meat counter. I could see Renegade sneaking up on Stefan from behind. What Renegade was doing was cowardly, I shot an Incendiary round through the window, where it curved hitting the gun out of Renegades hand.
This was their battle not mine.
Laying back I grabbed a sausage from behind the counter opening the bottom half of my helmet as I gobbled it in one. It tasted great so I checked the label to see what it was made of.
"CALF PENIS"
Was labbled, and with that. I immeadiately shoved two fingers down my throat.
-
Rolling forward in reaction to the pain, Stefan turned around and fired to rounds into the brat's chest.
"Seriously, kid, do you do ANYTHING without making these goddamn nanobots do all the work? You're worse than Vamp. At least HE would fight his own fights."
-
The gates were flung open. I drew my sword and ran into the thickest group of people and just started hacking them into mince meat. After a few minutes of intense fighting, in which I got beat up bad, all of them were gone. I threw my hands in the air and screamed...
ANY ONE ELSE!
-
" you know what i think its time for a fair fight" renegade uses his micro robots to heal Stefan then he took of his wrist computer and said "now its a fair fight i can't control the micro robots any more now lets fight!" renegade got into a fighting stance
-
The bullet removed itself from Stefan's back, then wound closing up.
"Right-o. You wouldn't happen to have a good fifteen years of Thai boxing under your belt, would you?"
He immediately threw a low kick at the Brat's knees.
-
renegade jumped back before it could hit him renegade then said "no" he then threw a kick at Stefan's chest and said "wait where's the guy with a spear?!"
-
The answer to Stefan's question was clearly 'No, I've never had a close quarters fight without my sword before.'
The Brat had left his face unguarded, and performing a straight kick, no less. Stefan sidestepped the kick, bringing his elbow into the Brat's face like a knife.
-
Demos waited in the room, behind the mannequins. He had heard everything. He was waiting for the right moment, and that was now. He stepped up over the raised platform he was hiding behind, stepping on the wrist computer as his foot touched down. A faint crunching sound and a small jolt could be heard. The computer seemed beyond repair.
"It's a shame, you know, when you need to rely on anything but your own skills."
Demos was behind Renegade now, holding him, preventing him from backing away or dodging the devastating elbow Stefan was about to nail into his face.
-
Someone grabbed on to the Brat just as Stefan's elbow collided with his skull. There was a crunch. A loud one. The Brat dissipated, revealing another one of the trio of fighters from the last arena. Stefan raised his hand in a half-wave-half-salute.
"Well howdy. You wouldn't happen to be a gun collector, would you?"
-
"Sorry. I don't really use guns. Are you going to kill me now, then? I'm not really in the mood."
-
I walked into a candy store to see two people fighting.
Hey, want to fight? You two against me.
I drew my knives and waited to see if they would accept my challenge.
-
After throwing up the contents of the last sausage I would ever eat in my life, I grabbed my Sniper turning my attention on the confectionary shop.
Rex was standing with two of the biggest knives I had ever seen.
I shot two bullets at two fighters infront of him. Hitting them inbetween the eyes. The bullets skimmed pas Rex. I could see his hair blown to the side as thr bullets narrowly missed his neck.
Staticly replacing my Sniper round I shot another 12 mm towards the back of Rex's skull.
-
Stefan shrugged his shoulders.
"I dunno, man. It would be pretty awkward to try at this point, wouldn't it?"
-
The men in front of me fell dead.I drew my sword and barley blocked a bullet aimed for my head. Keeping my sword in front of me to stop any further bullets I advanced twords where the bullet originated...
-
Kain saw Demos sneak behind Renegade and grab him. Kain stood up, and watched Stefan kill him. Then Demos asked if they wanted to fight him.
"I'm living through this week, and I'm not getting to the top of the scoreboard anyway. I don't give a sh*t anymore. Let's fight, it'll be fun."
-
"Like I said. I'm not really in the mood.. I want to settle some.. Grudges."
Demos walked to the window, and jumped out, completing a flip in the air, landing and rolling. He then looked around, saw Rex, and approached him, slowly getting faster.
-
Stefan stood over the shattered remains of what was once a really cool window. He turned around and looked at the kid with the spear.
"Doesn't anyone use doors anymore?"
-
As I approached the sniper I saw Demos heading my way. This was not good. I detached the two smaller swords and made a mad dash for cover form the sniper and for a place I could beat Demos.
-
Demos saw Rex running away. He figured it wasn't a good sign. He looked around. A sniper. Hopefully he hadn't been spotted. Demos ran behind a shelf, and kept going until he reached the end of the aisle.
-
I used my sword to see where Demos was, he was gone. I looked up and saw a beam on the roof I could use to hide from him. I climbed on it and started to climb it looking for him.
-
Stefan saw a battle going on between the two from yesterday that'd had the swords. Picking up a bag of chips off the floor, he sat and watched, his legs swinging over the window.
Without looking away, and with a mouth full of potato chips, he said the the kid with the spear,
"You know something? I've never had a big climactic battle, but these guys've already had two today. I need a rival or something. Another Thai boxer, you know?"
-
Demos could hear Rex moving. Where to, he had no idea. He looked around the next corner. No one. Next aisle. Again, nobody. He looked up, and saw a foot disappear over a beam on the ceiling. He decided to appear like he didn't notice. He kept is ears ready. He would get the first strike.
-
I follwed the beam to a hole in the wall.It lead to a army surplus store, there were two people in there. I climmed over one and grabbed him.I broke his neck quietly. But when I tried to do the same to the other one he yelled at the top of his lungs. So much for stealth. I fell down and cut him in half with my sword. I saw what they were looking at, Night Vision goggles. I grabbed the goggles and went to the darkest part of the store.
-
The angsty blue haired one had found an army surplus store. Sweet.
Hopping down, Stefan limbered to the store and started rummaging through its contents, seeing if he could find anything useful. First, he stole an olive drab knapsack (http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/776/104/298/298104776_487.jpg), and, after packing a few forest DPM fatigues into it, took a look around. No guns, but there was an entire wall of knives. Stefan's uncle had loved knives. Smiling, he carried the knapsack over to the wall to see if he couldn't find anything nice to take home.
-
I saw some one walk into the store, I couldn't be sure if it was Demos, so I attacked. I came charging out of the dark with my sword aimed for his head...
-
The blue haired kid attacked Stefan almost the moment he reached the knives. Instinctively, he sidestepped the vertical slash, swinging his leg up in a mid-kick.
"Slow down there, cowboy! Can't you tell I'm not the other guy? I'm far too masculine and good looking to be your apparent rival."
-
Then who are you? Huh?
I knew that this person was to good at close combat for my sword to do much good so I sheathed it and drew my knives. I entered my fighting stance and waited for him to make the first move...
-
Stefan gave a half-salute, half-wave.
"Name's Stefan. Eight-year Thai boxer and pretty good shot with a Colt. By the way, you wouldn't happen to have a 5.5 millimeter Single Action Army barrel on hand, would you?"
-
I relaxed, he wasn't going to fight me.
Not on hand, but one of my guys has a poop load of guns and might have the one you want. Have you seen Demos? He has a vendetta against me.
-
Stefan put another chip in his mouth.
"Is he that guy with the gun-sword thing? If so, yeah."
He waved his hand in the direction of the guy whose name was apparently Demos.
"He's 'bout five aisles down that way. But since I kinda owe the guy..."
Stefan drew his Colt, firing a round into the air.
"Hey, Demos, there's a blue haired angry-lookin' dude over here asking where you are! I kinda just told him!"
-
Ass hole! I stabbed Stephen in the gut and ran for cover...
-
Stefan grunted in pain, grabbing the stab wound.
"It's... Stefan... you dick!"
He pulled out his colt and fired three shots at the swordsman. If he got a stab, Stefan got a shot.
-
Stefan got off a few shots before collapsing one hit me in the shoulder, making it hard to lift my sword. I detached the smaller swords and waited for Demos to come to me...
-
After firing three disgustingly inaccurate shots, Stefan's legs gave out and he fell onto the floor. Fortunately, he was in a surplus store for a group of individuals with a tendency to get hurt a lot. There might be an Ace bandage somewhere around there... either way, he wouldn't be doing much MOVING for the rest of the match. That wall of knives, however, was calling his name.
-
I watched as Rex cowardly stabbed Stefan in the stomach, taking him by suprise.
Aiming in I pulled the trigger. However there was just a frustrating click. Holstering my Sniper I undrew two throwing knifes, and began to stealthily approach Rex sticking to the shadows.
-
Demos heard Stefan's shout. He would thank him later. He didn't know why he wanted to kill Rex so much, but he did. Every time he saw the mark of Rex's army...
He was outside the surplus store in moments. He heard Stefan inside. He sounded hurt. Demos shot his daggers out from under his sleeves.
"Rex, you coward, come out and fight me!"
-
Stefan found a medium-sized roll of Ace bandages after a few seconds of looking around. Wrapping it around the wound a few times, he approached the knives again. Jesus, there were a lot of them. It was almost as if he'd entered his uncle's personal hevan. He filled his bag with a small Coast Guard flip-release knife, an SOG (http://www.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/index/images/SOGSeal216x65.jpg), about three boot knives, and a Special Forces Blackhawk (http://images.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/blackhawk/images/BH15UK00SL.jpg). The blackhawk's blade was around seven inches, enough to stab someone in the heart and kill someone on the other side.
"You know something? This would be a lot cooler for me if I knew how to use knives in a fight."
Still having some room left in the bag, he got a few dessert rations, a new black holster for his Colt, and a round black button with a yellow peace symbol. He threw the back on his back and sat down, waiting for someone to come by.
-
Kain noticed a Sniper sneaking towards the shop that Stefan went to.
He's either sneaking up on Stefan, or someone else in the store.
Kain silently watched. If they started fighting, he would help out.
-
One rule Demos, Stay in the light!
With that I charged him and slashed at his ribs...
-
Demos sidestepped the attack.
"Come on. You've got to do better than that."
-
Demos dodged the attack, I had over shot and fell on my back. I spun around and kicked Demos' feet out from under him. I jumped up and attempted to sever his head...
-
Demos rolled the the left, dodging the devastating strike. He got up to his feet, his knives now pulled in. He was waiting for the right moment to strike.
"Come on. Why can't you kill me?"
-
I stood up and rubbed my shoulder it was starting to hurt. I calmly sheathed my swords and drew my daggers. I yelped as I hit a presser point to stop the pain.
You know that Presser Points can be used to cause extreme pain? And do you know that there are three I see that I could hit before you could react? Did you know that I could criple you before you said Oops? But I won't do that I don't want want what happened last time to happen again.
There was a can at my feet. I kicked it at his face and rushed him...
-
"I call Bull sh**"
Demos caught the can and threw it in front of Rex's feet before diving to the side and rolling.
-
As Demos fell I hit the Presser Point on his ribs. That should limit his right arms movements.
Believe me now?
I started to circle him looking for a weak spot...
-
"Not really. You should work on accuracy."
Demos couldn't move his right arm much. He didn't show it on his face.
-
Ah man, I missed. Before I kill you I want to ask you a question. Why did you drop your weapon?
I continued to circle I could tell that he was having trouble moving his arm, now we were even...
-
"Kill me? No, no. You've got it backwards."
Demos shot out his knives and got ready to counter Rex's attack.
-
Humph, you rookies are all the same. All talk and no action.
I found what I was looking for. he had backed himself into a shelf. I could knock it down on him and that would be that... I threw one of my daggers and hit a piece of rope holding up the shelf, but it didn't fall. there was another somewhere and I only had one more dagger...
-
I saw that Demo's had beaten my to Rex.
Jumping on the Laundry supplies aisle, I grabbed a bottle of Talcon powder unscrewing it as I summersaulted over Rex and Demos's little feud. As I landed I threw the powder in their faces blinding them before, slicing the back of Rex's knees with my knives.
-
Some one had jumped over me and thrown some thing in my eyes. I felt pain in my knees. My eyes cleared just in time to block a thrust twords my head. It was Eclipse the only person Higher on the Score bored than me. No one ever walked away form a battle with him in one piece. I would change that. I drew my biggest sword and waited...
-
Demos had closed his eyes as he saw Eclipse over them with the powder. He regained his vision faster, although it was still clouded from the powder in the air. He could make out the glare off Rex's sword. He followed it down, found where Rex's arm should be, and silently lunged at his bicept with his knife. The powder still lingered in the air.
-
Two on one, I still couldn't see very well but now some on stabbed my arm. I grabbed the blade and hit every Presser Points on their arm. I backed into the darkest part of the room...
-
Demos pulled his dagger back, slicing Rex's hand. His right arm was now basically unusable. He put the dagger in his left hand, and as the powder cleared, threw it at Rex, who was backing into the corner.
-
This was bad, very bad. As I backed up Demos threw his dagger at me. It hit my leg, I screamed in pain. I had to get out of here. I eventually hit a shelf. I felt around to see what I had found. Grenades. Great now I could commit suicide. I grabbed 3 grenades and threw them at where I had last seen Demos...
-
Demos heard something hit the ground. He saw 2 grenades. He immediately picked them up, throwing them as far as he could. He heard the explosions in the distance. The third that he had not noticed went off, and Demos was thrown against a shelf. His right arm took most of the impact, and was probably broken. He tried to ignore the pain. Grunting, he looked for Rex.
-
I heaved my sword onto my shoulder and made a run for the door keeping the sword between me and Eclipse. I made it out of the store and found a cellar where I could hide an get my wounds dressed. I barricaded the doors so that no one could get in... Then I started the painful process of treating my wounds.
-
Kain was about to start climbing through the hole when two grenades flew out of it.
"Sh*t!"
Kain dived to the side before the grenades exploded.
Kain climbed through the hole, and saw Stefan, Demos, and Eclipse.
-
Amongst the feud I was sitting back eating popcorn. Literally.
Swords were slashing. Grenades were booming. And I was eating my toffee popcorn untill Kain's spear sliced the bottom of my popcorn accidently and it all fell out.
I sighed. Before drawing knives and getting back in the thick of it. Charging at Stefan aiming for his legs.
-
I found a stool and set it in the middle of the room. I took of my jacket and pulled out my first aid kit. First was the arm. I looked it over, there was nothing I could do for it but close the wound before I bled to death. I took out a curved stitching needle (http://i52.tinypic.com/210ilw6.jpg.) and some string I had and started sowing the wound closed. I never had room for painkillers in my kit, now I wish I had made room for them...
-
Eclipse made a mad charge at Stefan, who happened to be sitting on the floor with his back to the wall. He reached for his colt even as his rolled away, going into a sloppy log roll before standing back up, with a degree of effort. His wound was still bleeding quite a bit.
-
I would eventually take Stefan down, but this was the perfect oppertunity. I jumped in the air vaulting off Stefan backfliping, while unholstering my Sniper landing two shots in Demos's shoulder.
NOSCOPE! I thought to myself.
-
After stitching my arm up I hit the presser points to releave my pain. Then I turned to my knees. They were pretty bad but I could fix that. I got my Hydrogen Peroxide and poured it on the wound. After All of my wounds were fixed as best as I could I sheathed my sword and detached one of the smaller ones. I found a piece of metal to use as a shield. I tied it to my arm because I couldn't grasp it. Then I started looking for a way out...
-
Stefan unholstered his revolver and fired three shots at Eclipse's back, a task that was made rather difficult by the small puddle of blood forming at his feet. The bandage was soaked.
-
Demos lay on the ground. Broken arm, shattered shoulder blade, and pretty rapid bleeding. He turned over, looking at a slowly fading Eclipse.
"Give me your gun.."
His vision was blurry. He could make out a figure moving around further away.
"Give it.. to me.."
-
I was walking through a weapons shop when I found what Stephan was looking for. I grabbed it and ran. I ran into a shelf and found the biggest gun I ever saw. I checked it out it had 1000 rounds. I grabbed and started twords the Army Surplus Store.
Eclipse and Demos were on the floor, they were in bad shape. I couldn't see any one moving but I still opened fire on the Store Hopping to kill any one inside...
-
Kain saw Rex coming with a gun. Then he opened fire on the store. Kain was right against the wall, not being hit and remaining quiet. He pulled out a dagger, and moved to the door. Kain dived at Rex' legs. He knocked Rex over, and tried to stab him.
-
I blocked the thrust with my shield. I kicked Kain off of me and stood up.
Good to see you... I didn't know you were in there... uh... They freakin tag teamed me in there... I got beat pretty bad... So sorry.
-
I grinned at Demos.
Expecting me to hand over my baby. No chance.
I grabbed a Supersoaker from one of the shelves at threw it towards Demos, giving him a quick wink before rushing back to the infirmiry. The Game had almost ended.
-
"God dammit.."
Demos faded. He didn't even get to kill Rex.
-
Stefan heard Rex say something about tag teaming.
"Tag team my ass! I was talking and you stabbed me!"
He coughed a little and doubled over, rolling forward and landing on his back.
-
You know what!? F*ck you! If you had kept you big f*cking mouth shut I would have been able to kill Demos with out...
This conclude today's game. Good game people.
The announcer stopped talking and I woke up in the Infermery..
-
Stefan appeared in the infirmary. His wound was gone, but the bandages were still wrapped around his waist and his pack was firmly attached to his back.
"Uh... wow. I didn't expect to finish that round. Swanky."
-
I got out of my bed and found Stephan.
Is this what you were looking for?
I pulled a package out of my jacket and gave it to him.
-
Stefan took the package. there was absolutely no way of knowing what was inside.
"Oh lawds! A container! Just what I've always wanted!"
-
It is a replacement barrel for you gun. I hope it is the right size.
-
Deccers woke up in some kind of dormitory, beds lined both walls.
The bastards! This is why they wanted to take me alive, so I can be a player in one of their sick games.
After studying the ceiling for a while, a voice came over the tannoy.
'This conclude today's game. Good game people.'
People slowly filled the room. Deccers reckoned he could split them into two groups, battle hardened veterans and those with no will left to live.
Poor buggers.
To his disgust, some of the harder looking guys sported gang tattoos. He rolled up his left sleeve, exposing his winged dagger. There'd be no dispute as to which side he fought on.
-
Stefan opened the package. It was a 5.5 millimeter Colt Single Action Army barrel. That wasn't the end of it, either. It'd been engraved by the previous owner, with what looked like a dragon curving upwards along the barrel, with its snout landing just on the tip. It was beautiful.
"Well... That was very considerate of you, swordsman."
Stefan stood up and stretched.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a new team. I got stuck on Flare, you know?"
-
((dose your char know mine or what. Because I have a gang on the outside...))
-
Everybody carried a weapon, weapons that Deccers had never thought would be viable in modern battle: Swords, pikes, hell some guys even carried bows. He felt naked without his rifle and body armour. He stopped some poor soul aimlessly wandering around with a mace in one hand.
'Sorry mate, but you wouldn't know where the armoury is would ya?"
The man merely lifted an arm in the general direction of a sign.
'Cheers.'
Walking along seemingly endless corridors, he checked the possessions that he'd been left with. His ipod in his pocket, and the coin strung around his neck were all that remained other than his clothes of his previous life.
Gonna be a pretty clean break I guess.
Upon reaching the weapons store, Deccers was taken aback. Weapons from every era of history lined the walls. A few aisles down were what he was looking for, modern weaponry and armour.
((He doesn't know him personally but fought gangs outside))
-
I watched as Rex gave the Barrel within the package to Stefan.
How did I know it was a Colt barrel? Because I had tampered with it. Scratching with my knife
"ECLIPSE WAS HERE"
Underneath the barrel, Just for a laugh.
I carried on Pouring oil down the barrel of my Sniper.
-
I saw a new person walk into the weapons room I followed him. I need new people to relpace the one I had lost last week... I walked up to him and noticed his tattoo.
Hey, you new?
-
Deccers checked out the standard kit from his army days:
The L85 assault rifle, medium range, medium firepower, medium weapon; a 9 milly for sidearm and a bayonette. He settled for kevlar body armour over ceramic, it didn't seem many people used firearms here. Fresh DPMs, webbing and 8 mags to finish.
He began to strip and oil the weapons, you could never be too careful and he intended to keep them for some while yet.
A boy approached him. Deccers noticed his sleeves were rolled down.
'Hey, you new?'
'Who wants to know?' was his gruff reply. He didn't want to make friends. Survival was his one aim.
-
Rex W Argin. Leader of Team Rex and the RGA. And if you want to make it here you might want to join a team.
This guy looked mean, I had tred carefully...
-
I glared across at Rex chatting to a new boy in the field. One more kill for me.
-
'Rex W Argin. Leader of Team Rex and the RGA...'
Deccers didn't want to hear any more. He sprang to his feet, pulling his kit onto his back.
Snarling, he pushed his face into Rex's.
'You dare to come near me again and I'll rip you limb from limb.' Spittle sprayed the boy's face.
He pushed past him, making his way back to his dorm.
The guts that kid has to talk to ME about joining the RGA
He fingered the 2 pence coin around his neck and his throat choked as he was overwhelmed with memories.
-
I didn't know that tattoo, but he knew who I was. I was going to have to ask my men.
Hey ass hole! At least tell my you name!
-
'Hey ass hole! At least tell my you name!'
'Deccers' He managed to splutter out without it sounding like a sob.
((The winged dagger is the insignia for the SAS, technically a flaming sword but it's more commonly known as the former))
-
Deccers... I knew that name. I walked to my barracks and gathered my men.
Who is Deccers, and what gang does he belong to?!
Uh... sir?
YES!
He is a soldier of our rival gang the Winged Daggers.
The Winged Daggers? But their leader was my friend.
What do you mean. The leader of them is my friend!
Sir the man you left in charge.. Uh... he decalerd war on them.
War, this was very serious... I had lost control of my army. I dismissed my men and told one of them to put out the word to kill Seth.
-
renegade woke up in the infirmary and thought "okay seriously how in the world did i survive that?"renegade looks down to see a bunch of nano bots and says "i hate you"he then remembers that he didn't have the skill to win he then thought"thats it no more nano bots i need to train without nano bots" renegade on his way to the training room saw a new guy with a L85 assault and thought "okay is it just me or is there a lout of new guys with guns i wish i could change weapons wait if i'm not using nano bots i need a solid weapon" renegade then says to the new guy "do you know where the armory is?"
-
As Deccers trudged back to his room some kid called out to him.
No time for talking.
He dumped his kit at the foot of his bed, and lay back on the mattress, his boots resting on the metal railing at the end so as not to get his sheets dirty. Thoughtfully, he plugged in his headphones to his ipod. Hiking the volume up, he set it to play The Trooper by Iron Maiden.
Tears rolled down his cheeks as he remembered his old mate Rowan, this had been his favourite song. He remebered clearly how distraught the rocker had been when he'd been forced to cut his long hair to join the army. He remembered holding his best friend, dying in his arms after being ambushed. No 18 year old should have to watch their friend die.
-
after the guy with a gun said no time for talking he then asked someone where the armory was when renegade got there he was thinking "okay what is there that i can use" renegade found a set of knives he thought that could be useful in a close combat fight so he put them on his utility belt he then put a pistol on his belt and said "i'm set" renegade then went to the training room and started training
-
Demos saw somebody on the bed next to him. A new guy. Crying.
"Sorry for your loss." Demos said in a quiet voice.
-
Demos was talking to a new guy who'd gotten the bed across from his own. He was crying.
Sitting up, Stefan reached into his new bag, pulling out one of the dessert rations. Chocolate cake. Stefan loved chocolate cake.
He stood up and limbered to the new guy, dropping the rations on his stomach.
"Howdy. Good to see someone around here newer than me."
-
Deccers managed to crack a smile as a kid dropped chocolate cake on his lap. He wiped the tears from his eyes and sat up, putting the cake to one side. Apparently he was not as alone as he'd thought.
'Sorry for your loss.'
Came the voice from another boy next to him.
'Don't worry, it's an old hurt.'
He remembered where he was and rechecked his kit so as to be seen as doing something.
I can't show any weakness.
-
DAMN YOU SETH! I knew that I should not have trusted him! Soon after I sent the order I got word he was dead.
Good send his head to the Winged Daggers...
Just as I said it Kain walked into the room
-
"So," Stefan started, sitting down on the bed next to him, "What team did you get stuck on? Nova, Flare, Rex, or Luna? If you got Flare, I'd suggest finding a new team immediately."
-
Deccers flinched at the name 'Rex'.
'Technically, I'm on Team Nova. But I don't need a team. I'm here alone.'
-
"Nova or Luna. Those are the only teams you want to be on. Don't let Rex take you in. He might appear kind at first, but his evil runs deep."
-
Oh, this new guy was another loner.
"Nah, man, you're gonna need a team. We have capture the flag games, too. Not just 'kill everything that moves'. Speaking of which, I need a new team, Demos. Stuck on Flare. You got any open spots?"
-
"As of tomorrow, yes. It's quite sad, but you know what they say; Out with the old, in with the new. I'd like to have you on Luna."
-
I grinned at what Stefan was saying. Teams were unreliable, the survival of the fittest. That was way everyone else would die and I would live. I was a lone wolf.
This new guy looked tough. But how long he would survive was another question.
-
(That last game was the last game for the week. Tomorrow the lowest scorers will die, and the cycle will repeat.)
-
"Who are the Winged Daggers?"
Kain had only heard a little bit about them. All he knew was that they were some kind of gang, and their leader's name was Seth.
-
"You know something? I think it's time for a wardrobe change. New week, new look."
Walking back to his own bed, Stefan grabbed his bag and stepped into the bathroom. He exchanged his red longcoat and black pants for the Forest DPM fatigues he'd gotten from the store, strapping on his new black holster and attaching the UK Blackhawk knife's sheath to his right forearm, sliding the blade in.
Kicking down the bathroom door, Stefan carried his bag back to his bed, hanging the rest of the knives on the wall.
-
((Dude, there is no winged daggers gang, my character was in the SAS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Air_Service)))
-
((My char is in a different room with Rex. Rex said something about them, so that's why Kain asked.))
-
"Well, gentlemen, I hate to interrupt your breach of the Fourth Wall; however, it seems to have brought everything to a rather disturbing halt."
Stefan threw a pen, hitting the new guy in the head. Nobody was gonna end the story in HIS watch.
"I'm going to bed. Tomorrow we've got an execution to watch. By the way, new guy, what's your name?"
-
'Deccers.' He mumbled, bed seemed like a good idea.
'Yours?'
-
None of your concern as long as you are in here. Now I am going to the weapons room to pick out a new weapon. My last one was broken. You can come if you want.
I stood up and walked into the weapon room, I tried to find a similar one, but to no avail. So I settled on the next best thing, a 68 inch Katana. (http://i55.tinypic.com/21l32ft.jpg) This would work just fine. I also decide to grab a gun (http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n312/Bonkotsu7/Final%20Fantasy/cerberus.jpg) just encase I lost my sword and had no daggers. Then I walked into the Cloths Department and Started looking for a black vest and some black pants. While I was looking for them I found a nice red cape. I grabbed it just for kicks. I also grabbed a head band to keep my hair out of my face. When I was done trying on my stuff I liked it and decided to keep the look (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/one_irish_rose/Final%20Fantasy/vincent2.jpg)
-
Stefan fell into bed, resting his head in his hands.
"Name's Stefan."
-
Opposite my quaters I could see Stefan attempting to chat to Deccers.
I was practising my throwing knives onto a dart board. No time for sleep. Not when I was going to win Omnicide. Elimination was tommorow. I wondered who was going to be killed.
-
Demos woke up. He didn't know he had fallen asleep. It was elimination day, though, and he would be sad to see some of his teammates go. However, with a new week comes new challenges. New players would be better and harder to beat. Demos couldn't stay on top forever. He had to keep training as hard as he could. He went for a run through the halls, and didn't stop until he ran at least 8 miles.
-
Kain was happy that today was elimination day, because there wouldn't be a match. Kain waited for Eclipse to show up in the mess hall.
-
I woke up and smiled, I was number 2 on the board and I had survived a clash with Eclipse. That is a good reason to celebrate. I saw Kain as I walked into the Mess Hall.
Yo! What do you think of my new look? (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b388/Ninetales240/VincentVector.png)
-
"You look better than you did before."
Kain sat down and ate, still watching for Eclipse.
-
I smacked him on the back of the head.
Arse. So what do we get to eat this fine morning? Don't tell me, garbage.
The food here always sucked, it tasted like cardboard. Kain was looking for some one.
Eclipse won't be here for awhile, he comes in that door over there and sits by himself. If you can sit with him you are lucky.
I turned my attention back to the cookie I had on my plate...
-
"Eclipse? I thought he was dead!"
Kain walked to the table by the door.
-
Waking into the Mess hall I scanned around to see who had been eliminated.
Looking across at Rex I smirked. In the midst of all this bloodshed all he could think about was his hair. I sat down in the corner to notice Kain was staring at me. I looked downwards and began to sharpen my knives on my armour.
-
renegade woke up that morning it was a good thing it meant he wasn't the guy getting eliminated
renegade went to the mess hall and started eating he then looked around the room to see who was eliminated
-
Demos, breathing hard, walked into the mess hall. He saw Eclipse by himself.
"Anything I can do for you?" Demos asked.
-
I looked up at him, assuming that he was taking the piss. I looked downwards once again ignoring him.
The announcement speakers boomed to announce the next game after elimination.
-
"hmph i wonder what the game's gonna be?" renegade thought to himself
-
Territories. The four teams will fight for control of the 5 territories. The game will commence at 0800 tomorrow. The terrain will be Mountains.
Great this was Eclipses' favorite game, plenty of places to hide and snipe... I would have to kill him to get my dignity back. Until then I was going to eat some cookies.
-
If you can sit with him then you are lucky
Rex's opinion of Eclipse probably wasn't too far from the truth. Just to be contradictory, however, Stefan got up and walked over to Eclipse, sitting across from him.
"There are two reasons I'm sitting here. One is because it's probably gonna make Rex mildly annoyed. The other is that you happen to sit in the best stop for watching TV."
He pulled the remote out of his bag, turning on the TV to the History channel.
-
Fag, I hate this channel. I walked up to the T.V. and put it on Cartoon Network, Just to piss off Stephen...
-
Deccers was woken from a restless sleep by a loud tennoy.
'Territories. The four teams will fight for control of the 5 territories. The game will commence at 0800 tomorrow. The terrain will be Mountains.'
Bollocks, I've never fought in mountains.
His heart sank at the idea of having to run up the steep mountainside.
I've let myself go a bit lately.
He jumped out of bed and pulled on his trousers and boots, it seemed most of the others had already gone for breakfast. The thought of something to eat was tempting, but if he didn't start working out now, he'd be destined to a life of flabby stomachs.
Just a quick workout then.
-
renegade went to the training room and started target practice"bull's eye!"renegade yelled as he hit the bull's eye
-
Rex changed the channel to Cartoon Network.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Rex. Was that documentary of the life and campaign of Adolf Hitler interrupting your favorite episode of Ben 10?"
Stefan turned it back to the History channel.
-
No...
i walked up to the T.V. casually and put my fist through it.
I just can't stand that channel.
-
when renegade went to the room with the tv he saw two guys arguing and seeing that he wasn't going to watch any tv he went grabbed his laptop and started watching his favorite show on it myth busters(with head phones on)and asked rex and stefan "you guys gonna stop acting like kids"
-
After 30 minutes of lifting weights, Deccers had had enough. He wasn't going to win this battle in one day.
Time for some breaky
When he arrived at the mess hall, Stefan and Rex were fighting over the tv channel.
Kids these days He sighed to himself as he picked up a tray and chose a place to sit.
He wondered if he could get some maps for where the battle was going to take place tomorrow, it was suicide going into a fight with no preparation. Although, presumably everybody else was in the same boat.
-
The brat was calling him a kid. How ironic.
"That's interesting, coming from someone who I estimate is around ten years old."
Stefan turned the remote to the overhead TV, sitting roughly seven feet above their heads, and turned the history channel on, raising the volume to max.
-
I smirked to myself, cause of the childlike behaviour all around him.
Tapping my temple my helmet sound proofed itself blocking out all noise around me. Finally some peace.
-
I shook my head and went back to Kain.
When you are done eating meet me in my training room.
I grabbed the last cookie from my plate and left.
-
Demos sat, smiling at the feud over the TV. Rex wasn't doing himself any good arguing so much. How did anybody like him?
Demos turned to Stefan. "We're the Jewish. We just haven't found out who Hitler is yet."
-
It took Stefan a moment to understand the analogy Demos had made.
"Well, I know something about him. Judging by the fact that all his henchmen carry M-freaking-60's, I'd say that this whole tournament comes down to one thing: The owner is compensating for a tiny penis."
The documentary played a few seconds of "Hitler's only got one ball," a skit from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
-
The rest of the day like it was going to drag on, apprently there wasn't much to do on days off except watch TV. Deccers had never really liked TV, the only useful thing they ever showed was the news, and he wasn't sure he could deal with what the outside world was going through right now.
To pass the time quicker, he headed back to the dorm and charged his mags, ensuring that he put three tracer rounds in first. That way, it'd be obvious when he was running low on ammo.
-
"Alright, I'm gonna go watch the execution. I'm curious to see how the guys in charge around here kill off the losers each week."
Stefan got up and wandered out of the room, taking the remote with him.
-
I looked up at the elimination board to see who had been selected.
My blood froze. I saw my name on the board. Not my Omnicide name, but my old name. The name I had not been called in 13 years.
Impossible! I thought to myself. I was 5th on the scoreboard of last game.
I looked around to see someone being dragged to the execution chamber, kicking and screaming
YO FOOLS YOU CANT KILL ME. IM CHARLES WHITEMAN MOTHA F*CKAS.
I gave a sigh of relief that it wasnt me. I shivered at the very thought of the name. That name reminded me of when my life was a hell hole. When my life was a world of pain.
-
Calx woke up to bright lights directly above him. He sits up and examines his face with his hands.
Where did she hit me? She never misses...
Moving his hands further down to his chest, he feels some scar tissue. Upon taking off his shirt, he finds the entry wound; the joint between his right shoulder and his right arm.
If she didn't plant one in my head, maybe I wasn't meant to die.
After putting his shirt back on, he begins to analyze his surroundings. White room, four lights, one above the only bed. Gun cabinet in the corner. No windows. Steel door, with a small LED sign on the inside, on the wall beside the door, a speaker. A message on the LED said,"You have been selected to compete in the Omnicide Games, if you refuse you will be executed with the rest."
Calx had heard of Omnicide. Who hadn't? He didn't picture himself as a player, but he sure as hell wasn't dying until he could find out what happened to have Nex take a shot at him. Deep in thought, he walks over to the gun cabinet, and opens it.
His M82, along with his beretta and knife was there, thank god. But at the bottom of the locker was what he was really looking for: a small leather bag attached to a rope. He scoops it up and puts it around his neck, leaving everything else in the locker.
Leaving the room, he finds himself in a hallway, filled with doors similar to his own. He decides to walk to the left, and watches a man being dragged, kicking and screaming, something about being "Charles Whitman". He didn't care. Proceeding down the hall, he walks into a room, with a few people in it, two bickering, while others sitting idle. Calx finds a corner and puts his back to it, and sits down examining the room, and the people in it.
-
Almost out the door, Stefan noticed an unfamiliar face sitting alone in the corner with a sniper. Did Eclipse have an equally reclusive sibling or something?
He turned around and walked over to the new guy, curious as to what misfit had been tossed in with them this time.
Sitting down across from the new guy, Stefan greeted him.
"Howdy, new guy. How's Omnicide been treating you so far? Damp? Dirty? Unfriendly people?"
-
Well aren't you peppy?
"No clue just got here...why?"
-
Not quite as reclusive as Eclipse, then.
"Because, new guy, between me and you, the worst thing about Omnicide isn't the constant threat of death. It's not even that only the top ten players get ice in their drinks. It's the goddamn people. You've just entered the wacky world of pricks."
A genuine smile crept over Stefan's face. It might sound cynical, but it was true.
-
Fun
Calx stands up, and walks back to his room. He opens the locker, puts on a chest holster, and puts his beretta in it as he walks back.
"Insurance" he mumbles, sitting back down in his corner.
-
Deccers looked up as the tough looking sniper entered the room, some poor sod behind him was being dragged away, screaming his heart out. He'd picked up enough now to know that he wouldn't be screaming much longer.
After sliding the last round home into the eighth mag, he flopped back down on his bed and begun a series of sit-ups.
Geesh, this place is a dump.
-
I smirked to myself as I saw Stefan talking to a new guy on the block. Who also happened to be a Sniper.
He would know all the same tricks as me. My tactics. My knowladge. He was a threat.
I cracked my knuckles before standing up walking over to the new kid, giving him an uppercut in the chin.
I clicked my neck from side to side before getting ready to fight. Omnicide wasnt big enough for the both of us.
-
As the Uppercut touched his jaw, the beretta was under the assailants, safety off, finger on the trigger.
Not even 2 minutes after the warning.
"That felt nice, thank you." Calx says sarcastically. He smirks, "I wonder if this bullet through the jaw will?"
"Walk away."
-
It took awhile to get the hand of my new weapons, but I did. I walked out of my training room, because I go tired of waiting for Kain. I saw a sniper in the corner talking to Stephen. Joy another sniper. those people are cowards hiding behind hundred of yards and rocks... That Stephan is like a virus...
-
I waited for him to shoot me.
He didnt even realise that the guns were unable to fire out of the arena.
I stood my ground, Readying a roundhouse kick.
-
Both refused to move. Complete silence throughout the room.
He waited for something to happen, something to break the silence, something to distract this person.
Someone walks in. Blue haired.
Perfect.
He duck under the assailants arm, and dashes to the other side of the room, beretta still pointed at the man who punched him.
-
I ambled up to him. Putting the barrel of his Sniper to my head.
He was using a Baretta. I was a Light Sniper man myself. But this was a standered army Sniper. He had obviously served in the military.
-
Crimson stepped off of the cable car and onto the platform. He was followed by a few others. The cable car then shot back up the mountain. A man, who appeared to be some kind of warden, stepped onto the plat form in front of Crimson.
You have all been brought here to compete in the Omnicide Games. Most of you chosen for the same reason, but you know what that is.
The warden then started explaining the rules of the Omnicide Games. I've seen the show, I know the rules, so just shut up!
The warden then looked Crimson strait in the eye, And the ten lowest scoring players will be executed at the end of the week. You don't want to end up there, do you?
You sick bastard!
No sir.
That's what I thought. Now all of you go to the mess hall and get something to eat! And if you're lucky you'll may get to see the execution, the warden said with a sickening grin. Crimson and the other new people took there stuff to there assigned rooms and went to the mess hall. Crimson was served what appeared to be regurgitated oatmeal and four week old apple slices. He then sat down and attempted to stomach the gruel. He then noticed a fight break out. He sat there and watched.
-
[OOC: Oh I see how everyone knew I was a sniper now! For the record: Berretta 9mm custom is a sidearm: [spoiler]http://www.popularairsoft.com/files/images/KSC-GBB-M9-BLSC-JP_4_mark.jpg[/spoiler] Barrett M82 is a rifle:[spoiler]http://www.armedforces-int.com/upload/image_files/corporate_policy/images/projects/7/barrett2b.jpg [/spoiler]]
-
I saw a fight erupting between the snipers. I got between them.
Break it up! You can kill each other tomorrow! And by the way guns don't work in here. So put those down.
I went to my table and started eating cookies again...
-
No point in having this out then...
He sets his beretta in the chest holster. Keeping his eyes on the man who punched him I the jaw.
-
I glared back at him.
He was my top priority.
-
Those two were going to kill each other before tomorrow was over... At least i didn't have to worry to much about sniper fire... Some one walked past me with a tray full of brownies, I could tell he was new.
Hey I think those are mine!
I grabbed the tray and sat back down. Yum!
-
Someone walked up to the two that were fighting and broke it up. Crimson finished his food and walked towards the weapons and armor room. Once he was in he started to look around. Amazing. There are so many weapons from so many different eras. After he was done looking he picked up a pistol, some extra mags and ammunition, and then walked back toward the mess hall for something to drink.
-
I finished my tray of brownies and threw the tray at the guy i stole it from. Then i saw a Person walk out of the weapons room, he was new and had no team. He looked strong, I wanted him.I walked right up to him.
Yo, the name is Rex. You new here?
-
Yeah, I'm new. What do you want?
-
Since your new I take it your not on a team? I come to you repesenting Team Rex. It is the most experienced and powerful team. You are more likely to get killed on any other team. So what do you say?
-
Yet another new guy. This one was chatting with Rex.
"Careful, new guy. Rex is a DICK."
Rex was also particularly violent. Without his sword, however, he wasn't a match for a Thai boxer. Outside the battlefield, Stefan would always have the upper hand against these weapon-users.
-
Back off fag!
This Stephan guy was a little to big for his britches... I started to stretch, it had been a long time since I had had a good fist fight. I took the standered Ninjutsu fighting stance and waited for him to strike first...
(did I mention the reason I use Japanese weapons? I was taught how to fight by a Japanese person. At least in this RP)
-
Too many people
Calx turns, completely ignoring the one who attacked him, and proceeds down the hall back to his room, and closes the door, and takes his knife out of the locker. He grasps the bag around his neck, and begins to etch pictures on the walls with his knife.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot about teams.
Some guy interrupted from across the room, "Careful new guy! Rex is a dick!"
Rex got ready to fight this guy. I'll consider your offer. Crimson then stepped back incase there was going to be a brawl.
-
Stefan stood up, not getting into his fighting stance yet. If Mr Big-shot wanted a fight, he would get the first hit.
"Listen, Rex, I don't know what kind of training you think you went through, but I've been a Thai boxer for a looooooooong time. We're talking bashing my shins against a tree when I was seven years old. You might be the Omnicide vet, but I highly doubt you've been through the kind of unarmed combat training I have. If you want to fight... knock yourself out. Hit me. I don't think it's in your best interest, though."
Stefan held his hands out slightly, welcoming the strike he wasn't planning on defending. After that hit came? He'd make Anurak proud.
-
Attention all Fighters, if there is any fighting out side of the arenas the participants will lose 20 points. Thank you.
I forgot that, and I couldn't afford to let that happen. I stood back up and looked at the new guy.
What's you name?
-
Crimson.
-
No fight, then. Sorry Anurak. Ripping a swordsman a new lung would have to wait until the announcer wasn't there to remind Rex why he doesn't hit people. Rather, he turned to the new guy, whose name was apparently Crimson.
"Crimson, then. Rex here is a lot like your standard unreliable friend. He'll stick with you, maybe give you a few perks that you can't get from the rest of us. The moment you enter the battlefield, though, you can expect to be reduced to the value of a lemming in his eyes. Do with that information what you will. Myself? I'm gonna go watch the ten unfortunate warriors at the bottom of the scoreboard get offed. Later."
Stefan walked to the exit. He noticed a few others also heading towards the execution.
-
Crimson stood there thinking. So according to him, Rex isn't as nice as he seems. I'll have to further look into this. Crimson asked other people about Rex. Most of the responses were similar to other guy's. Crimson then caught up with the guy from earlier. If I shouldn't side with Rex then what team do you recommend I join?
-
O.K. Crimson if you accept meet me in my training room.
i turned around and left the room.
-
The sounds of movement got his attention. Calx creeps toward the doorway, and opens it slightly, watching a few people walk down the hall, one of them being the one that talked to him before.
1...8...27...64...125 to the power of 1/3 people walking that way...
-
On his way to the execution, Stefan was stopped by Crimson, whom was inquiring about what team to join.
"Well, kiddo, let's see here... Rex's team tends to have the highest rank, but you know... he's a dick. Team Flare is terrible and should be avoided at all costs. That leaves Nova and Luna. Personally, I'm on Luna because I had to ditch Flare and I happened to know someone from Luna. You might want to go with Nova, though. I hear they're tough stuff."
He continued on his way until he reached the crowd gathered to witness the executions. He saw one or two vaguely familiar faces in the crowd, along with one person who caught his eye another way. A girl. Odd.
-
Nova and Luna... Crimson then walked toward the execution.
-
Why would any one stand up to me? Did Stephan know what I had created on the outside of these walls? Na, he must just be insane... I had to silence him if I wanted to regain the fear I once had here. People were beginning to stand up to me, it all started when that punk got here. I was going to force him into the bottom 10 and watch him die!
-
He returned to etching things in the wall, this time, a 1 an 8, a 27, a 64, and a 125. He hears footsteps going the same way as the rest.
one more he thinks, and adds a 216 after the others
-
Hanging. They were being hung.
Stefan pushed his way through the crowd until he was next to the girl. She seemed particularly more troubled than the rest of them, even managing a sob or two. A man in a suit with a brown crew cut stepped onto the platform along with the ex-contestants.
"Gentlemen, many of you have witnessed this event before. Some of you have not. Regardless, the tradition still stands. You will fight. You will fight well. You will entertain. THIS is the punishment for failing your duties."
The man motioned to an executioner, whom proceeded with the process. One by one, he kicked the ten poor fighters off the platform, the noose snuffing out their lives. There was no vanishing to the infirmary for these ten.
As the process began, the girl next to him buried her head in his chest. While this was undeniably awkward, he wasn't going to pull away from someone in this mental state. Stefan put his arm around her eyes. It was nothing romantic, just simple humanity. This girl knew one of the people being executed. She knew him well.

-
Crimson watched as the previous competitors were hung. It wasn't all that horrifying to him. He'd seen more terrible ways to die.
-
Stefan stayed there, with the girl sobbing on his chest, until it was over and the bodies were disposed of. Lowering his head, he whispered to the girl, "It's over. They're gone."
Slowly, she raised her head and backed away from Stefan. Her face was beet red from tears.
Turning back to where he'd come from, Stefan managed his typical wave-salute.
"If you ever need me, I'm at bed 32."
Continuing down the corridor, he head a bit of scratching coming from one of the rooms. Poking his head in, he saw the new sniper scribbling on the wall at a blurring speed. It looked like he was having a conversation with someone. Only there was nobody else there.
"...Oh, cool. A REAL headcase. Way more interesting than all those angsty brats I've been stuck with. What's your name, man? I'm Stefan, your new best friend."
-
(http://p1cture.it/images/03796732257208254815.jpg)
"Calx" He mumbles, looking away from his work and at the man.
-
Stefan looked at the numbers for a moment. What the hell was that?
"Calx, eh? Were you born with that one or did you have to change your name when you fled to Mexico, which I'm assuming you've had to do at some point?"
-
Demos didn't want to watch the execution. He went, though. His feet drew him, the pounding of hundreds of footsteps forced him. Another pair added to them. 216 now. He arrived at the showing. A girl caught his eye. On the platform. Nuse around her neck, crying. She reminded him of something. Someone. He looked away, the face burned in his mind. Aria. Demos didn't want to be reminded of Aria. He kicked the seat in front of him.
"God dammit! They don't deserve this!"
He left the place.
"God.. dammit.." Tears in his eyes now. "Why.. Why is humanity so corrupt.."
He was at his bed, trying to relax. Deep breaths. The face still there. He couldn't not see it, no matter how much he closed his eyes.
This is what Omnicide does to people, he thought. This is their sick, twisted game. I'll play along. I'll play. I'll survive. For her.
-
As Crimson walked toward his room he noticed someone crying. He wanted to ask what was wrong, but he it wasn't any of his business.
-
"Too hot in Mexico, too much water, low roofed houses grouped together, bad place to shoot from, lots of bare land, bad place to hide. Mexico is a bad place." He grins, "You would have to pay me alot to give me a hit for someone in Mexico. Alot of risk put into travel, plus all of those hazards and low roofs."
she told you not to talk about that
Do you hate her or not? You can't attack her one moment and side with her the next
"Stefan had green hair you're not Stefan."
-
For some god damn reason I could not stop eating those damn brownies. On my way to get more I can into Crimson.
Yo, Make up you mind fast. Oh and before I go eat some more Brownies, let me tell you something. If you are not a member of my team, you will die. Now have a nice day.
I could hear them calling me. they were saying: Rex, come eat us! Eat us!
-
Stefan brought his hand to his head. Short brown hair. Just like it's been for... always. He also felt the fabric of his eyepatch wrapping around his head. A constant reminder of what REAL dangers can do.
"You must be thinking of a different Stefan, Calx. My name is definitely Stefan, and my hair's always been like this."
-
Kain finally spoke to Eclipse.
"Why didn't you tell me you were still alive? I thought I was the only survivor from our squad. I haven't seen you since I saved your ass."
-
Which team should I pick? Crimson ran toward Rex, Hey, I guess I'll join your team.
-
Good, do you know how to use a sword?
-
My legal guiradian was the master of a martial arts dojo. He's been teaching me the ways of the sword since I was five.
-
Good to know, go introduce yourself to the others. Your bunk number is 308. Now let me eat my brownies.
With that I lost interest in the newcomer and started filling my face with food...
-
"No. Stefan was an explosive expert. Supplied ammo to us. Your name is Modus now cause you're not Stefan."
Calx walks over to his gun cabinet and pulls out some rounds and a few empty magazines. He brings them back to the bed and begins to load them up.
-
Stefan raised an eyebrow at Calx.
"Modus? Where'd you get that name from?"
He pulled the knife by his forearm out of its sheath, examined the blade, then put it back in its place. Could use a sharpening.
-
"Latin."
She told you she would meet you there
She did meet me there, she just watched me from atop a building through a telescopic sight to make sure I would actually show up.
He finishes loading the .50cal rounds, gets up again, and brings his M82 to the bed and seats one in his rifle. Calx holds the gun at the ready, and falls back on his bed, leaving the rifle pointed up towards the roof, perpindicular to his body.
"Omnicide must be boring."
-
Stefan leaned against the doorway.
"Omnicide? Boring? Nah, we just don't have any matches today. Executions going on. There'll be a match tomorrow. You can kill all you want, and nobody will actually die. Isn't it funny, the way that works out?
-
"Boring. They don't have the fear of death. They can kill and kill, but never have to die. Boring."
-
Stefan realized he wasn't dealing with someone who was harmlessly touched in the head. This man was truly insane. And yet...
"Well, about a fifth of us get killed off each week. It's not in an actual fight, but, the worst ten fighters get hung every sunday. Those guys DON'T come back to life. You just missed their execution, in fact. Say, how did you wind up in this crapsack, anyway?"
-
Silence.
Calx sat up looking at his feet.
How did I get here?
She shot you
that doesn't explain how I got here.
"I don't know."
He smiles
"Out of all the things I know; I don't have an answer to that."
He begins to laugh.
"Its amazing how something so simple can be so complicated. I can disassemble Barrett and Beretta faster than most people can think, I can put a bullet between someones eyes from 2 kilometers away, I can use a knife like a ballroom dancer uses a partner, but I don't know how I got here."
He starts to laugh even harder.
"The mere question of how did I get here can be very philisophical. How did anyone get here? Were we created by some higher power? Did we evolve into what we are today from some random change of events? Are we here because something caused our parents to have us be born, and their parents them and their parents them as just a random set of events? Does everything have a cause? Is there an Uncaused Cause that began everything?"
He stops laughing. He stares very seriously at the man.
"Modus should think about these things."
Thats stupid
You're stupid
-
Stefan walked to Calx, Putting his hand on the Sniper's shoulder.
"Calx, there's a long list of things I don't know. I don't know how to build a plane. I don't know how anyone could like Lima Beans. Most of all, I've got no freaking idea how we all got here."
Stefan motioned to the Earth around him, air and all.
"I'll tell you what I DO know. I'm going to bed, I just watched a girl watch her family get killed. See you tomorrow, buddy. Hope it's not through the scope of your rifle. G'night."
-
"She will fight against what killed them. She will learn how to kill herself. Just watch, the last time you saw her, she died, she's different now. Never the same. Never the same."
Sounds like the girl went through what she went through
Maybe somewhat similar. Now shut up its time to go to the shooting range.
Maybe there isn't one
There was a map in that room with the guy with the fist
Calx grabs his rifle and rests it on his shoulder with one hand, and keeps his other on the bag around his neck, and heads down the hall.
Upon entering, he begins to complain.
"This shooting range is too small. Targets too close. Too easy. Too slow moving. Not made of flesh."
Boring
Bed then?
Yeah
-
I finished my brownies and noticed how late it was. Time for sleep, that way I would be ready for tomorrow. Before I went to sleep I did a few laps... Tomorrow Stefan would meet his match...
-
Stefan dreamt of flying carrots and obese clowns. There was absolutely nothing on his mind that was bothering him.
-
Everything was bothering Demos. He wasn't thinking clearly, he had to rest. But he couldn't fall asleep. His body wouldn't let him. No. Not his body. He wouldn't let himself fall asleep. He needed to think. Think..
How did I get here?
They took you.
Why would they take me?
..
Why?
You lost Aria. You had something to fight for. They liked that.
No. Aria gave me something to die for.
They thought you were someone else?
No. No, something about Aria.
She's dead.
Maybe.
No. She's dead!
No. She's alive. Aria's alive. Alive.
Demos slept.
-
It's morning. You know what that means
I don't wanna
Too bad we're starting
Dammit. Fine.
What is the length of a Barrett M82?
144.8 cm
Barrel length?
73.7 cm
Muzzle velocity?
854 m/s
Effective range?
1800 m
Wrong
Is not.
She could fire hers farther
Different gun
Just making sure you're paying attention
I'm done with this
You're actually killing people today, so suit up
Shut up, I know
Calx got out of bed, took a shower, and dressed. He finished loading up his magazines, and geared up, taking his Barret with him as well as his knife, and the Beretta. He made sure that the bag was around his neck and headed out of the room.
-
298...299...300 Deccers finished his sit ups and rolled off his bed panting. A huge crowd passed the door to the dorm. The execution was about to take place. Intrigued, he followed the masses, this could be the way he went himself.
10 figures stood up on a podium each next to their respective set of gallows.
Not the worst way to die.
He'd seen child soldiers in Africa, commiting crimes that still gave him nightmares. In comparison, a hanging seemed relatively humane. A girl in the crowd began to wail, she was being comforted by Stefan.
Interesting, I didn't think of Stefan as a guy who would care so much.
After the deed was done, he returned to the living quarters, hoping to make contact with some fellow team Nova members. Not that he wanted their help, he just wanted to make sure he wouldn't be shot on sight.
-
I woke to my men grunting.
Will you shut the F*ck up!
"Sorry sir!"
Good to know that my men were still afraid of me. No point going back to sleep. 2 hours until the game. The new guy was still asleep. I walked up to his bunk and kicked him off of it.
Wake up sleepy head, 2 hours until the match.
I went to the showers and got in one. i used cold water just to cool the fever I had. Then I went to the Mess Hall to eat...
-
Crimson was rudely awakened by Rex's boot. Wake up sleepy head, 2 hours until the match. Crimson got up and went to the shower. Once he was done with that he grabbed an assortment of his weapons and his armor went went to the training room.
-
Demos got up, went to the mess hall, the normal routine. The announcements came on.
"Your game today will be in the mountains. It will be a long, cold battle, so prepare accordingly. Long range weapons are suggested."
Click.
What weapons could Demos use that were long range..
His father had been a gunsmith. He knew a little about guns from when he helped his dad. But only about pistols. He could shoot a SIG Sauer P226 (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3001/3033726115_79eb0dda54.jpg) well when he was younger, but he didn't know if he still could. He went to the armory to see if they had one. Sure enough, there was a P226, along with a few others. He took it and went to the range. Aiming down the sights, he fired a bullet at the target's center. Demos wasn't used to the kick, and the gun came back quite a bit before he was able to stop it. Trying again, he managed to put 2 bullets in the center ring within 5 seconds. He kept at it for a while, until his mags were all empty. He was good enough, able to place 2 rounds dead center, and 4 more within an inch of them in under 3 seconds.
-
renegade woke up and went to the range to practice more and he saw demos and said"is it just me or does every one have a gun now?"
-
Crimson heard the announcement on the intercom. Dammit. My swords and knives aren't gunna do me much good in the mountains. I need a good gun. Crimson walked back to the armory room. He look through the assortment of assault rifles until he came across one that struck his eye. He picked up an FN P90 and held it under his arm. Feels good. He took it to the firing room. Two other guys were there as well. It took Crimson a few tries, but he eventually started hitting the bulls-eye. This'll do. He then left to finish getting ready for the fight.
-
"this is oaky thats it every one as a gun" said renegade as he hit the bulls eye
-
Who needs guns when you never stay in one place very long. In all the years I had been shot at, no one had ever hit me. Not even in the mountains. I sat down outside the Firing range and started sharpening my blades. I loaded my gun and packed as much ammo as I could carry and still be light on my feet. I had 4 reloads. But my sword was always on hand...
-
renegade set up a target and started throwing his knives for practice he hit one in the bulls eye on beside it and one in between them
-
I walked into the range holding my Shiruikens. I saw Renegade throwing Knives. Rookie. I blind folded my self and started throwing... When I removed my blind fold I had made a Smiley face. I looked at Renegade and smirked.
-
Mountains. Mountains have snow. Suit up in whites, its gonna be cold.
You don't have the clothing to be in the mountains.
The map says theres a place to suit up.
Again with this map
Next to the firing range is the room.
Calx begins to head down the hallway. Following the faint sounds of gunfire.
Practicing on such boring targets isn't going to help you at all
Its good practice
He keeps walking, past the shooting range and into the room next to it.
The room was full of clothing, greens, tans, whites, blacks, if you could think of an enviroment, this room had gear for it. Calx walks to the area that was predominatly white, he grabs some rope, some ice picks, and a white ghillie suit. He catches a glimpse, of something on the floor. A tubelike object, ends wider than the center. He recognises it instantly, and puts it in his pocket. Looking aorund to make sure noone is there.
Ready to go, he sits in the corner of the room, waiting for the announcement that let him do his favorite thing. Shoot.
-
"oh someone's a show of i see" renegade thought and blind folded himself and threw his knives when he removed the blindfold he looked and they made a the word renegade and looked at rex who was smirking and then renegade pointed to his target
-
Demos was done with guns. He ignored Renegade, and went to find clothes. Mountains were white, he would wear white. Camouflage would be his best weapon. As he walked into the room he noticed the new kid sitting in the corner. He didn't pay attention to him. Demos put on an all white cloth jacket and pants. He wore an off-white scarf around his neck and mouth, and on his head a white beanie. He tested how his wrist knives slid out of the jacket sleeves, and found a pocket his gun would fit in. He sat next to Calx.
"This is it. This is your routine. Get used to it."
Demos put his head against the wall and closed his eyes. He wasn't a fan of the cold.
-
Watch your back kid. When your not looking i will be there.
I threw him a RGA token, marking him for death.
See you on the field. I spat at his feet then left for the equipment room.
I saw crimson walking out, he looked like a turtle.
What are you doing? Unless your a sniper you need to be able to move quickly! Take only what you can carry on your person, no backpacks.
-
Who the hell are you?
Shut up he's trying to be nice.
A routine?
Calx had been in the military for 5 years, he never thought about it once as a routine. During his training as a sniper, they made him lay in the same place for 2 days every week, and he didn't think of that as a routine.
Have I ever had a routine?
She made you meditiate on your actions every day
That wasn't a routine that was something that made her happy see me do
Irrelevant
I didn't yesterday
...
He smiled.
Nothing to say now, do you?
...
-
"heh and i thought i had a short temper" renegade thought as he went back to his bed renegade started puting on a white jacket and white pants and thought"since i have a guy gunning for me i'm gonna need stealth"
-
Deccers woke up to a room filled with early morning grunts and smells. Some of these guys hadn't seen a shower in a while. Once again a voice came over the tannoy.
'Your game today will be in the mountains. It will be a long, cold battle, so prepare accordingly. Long range weapons are suggested.'
He absorbed this information slowly, on the one hand, he'd never fought in mountains before. But on the other, he sure as hell wasn't going to take weapons advice from somebody he'd never met. He swung one leg out of bed, the cold bringing up goose bumps and began to get dressed. Woodland DPMs would have to do, hopefully there would be some trees on these mountains. He pulled on his old magnums (http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk/army-stores/DSCF1125.jpg), and checked the straps on his webbing. To finish he tightened his rifle sling and pistol holster and pulled on his body armour.
Deciding to cam up after breakfast, he strolled into the mess. Last night's search had been fruitless, nobody had claimed to be from Team Nova. This time, he'd be a little less subtle.
'Anyone here from Nova?' He called over the standard breakfast commotion.
-
renegade heard someone say any one hear from nova? renegade went over to the guy and said "
i am "
-
But, hey it's not me who's going to get whacked on their first week. What do I care. Listen, if you are part of my team, you do what I say, when I say. If you can do that you will make it here. Now go get in formation.
I walked into the Equipment room. I found a Black Jacket. No mater where I went or what I did, I always wore black. I went back to the Launch Doors. On the way there I heard some one talking.
"Nothing to say now, do you?" Great a whack job...
-
(not wearing a back pack everything except sword and P90 fits into hidden pockets on my clothes. deleted my last post for certain reasons.)
Crimson dressed in a white and light gray camaflage. He then grabbed his sword, shuriken, knives, and pistol. He left the P90 behind because he realized he didn't need. As he joined up with the rest of the team Rex made some remark about a turtle or something. Crimson wasn't really listening.
-
So far Deccer's team consisted of a little kid. He'd heard rumours that Nova was easily second insofar as skill was concerned, so he assumed the rest simply didn't wish to show their faces.
-
Everyone else was preparing for the match today. What was Stefan doing? He was sitting up in bed chatting with a complete stranger. The girl from the day before. Her name was Astrid, about nineteen. Quiet. Shouldn't be in Omnicide. It'd been her brother who'd been hung. Why? Because he sucked. And she had just barely made it, three slots above the bottom ten.
"Well, how do I fit in to this?" Stefan leaned forward slightly as he asked the question.
"I'm scared. I... I don't want to die."
"Alright... Tell ya what. Stick with me for the next match. I'll make sure you get a few kills in. After the match I'll show you how to use a gun, and maybe a little bit of Thai Boxing. Dress warm. Dress white."
Stefan stood up and walked out of the room, leaving Astrid sitting on Deccer's bed. His arsenal for this match would consist of an additional knife, in case Astrid happened to need one. Not everyone can kill with their bare hands.
-
Pick a team
No
Do it
Why?
Because this is a team based game
I hated them then, and I hate them now
What?
Teams
You teamed up with her
That's one person
And now it's just a few more
Why does it matter? They're not going to find me anyway
The others have to have something to shoot at instead of you, or they might very well find you
Fine...
Calx stood up, and left the room, he began wandering the hallways looking for some sort of roster sheet on the wall.
-
renegade saw some guy looking to see what team he's gonna join and went to him and said"you look like you need to be on a team why don't you join team nova?"
-
As Stefan was walking, he noticed The Brat trying to recruit Calx.
Without stopping or turning his head, he dropped a quick, "Nova's gay."
He didn't really think so, but if Calx was joining Nova, it wouldn't be from the suggestion of that kid.
-
Team Nova was terrible.
I chucked a throwing knife at the roster sheet before drifting back into sleep/
THe next match was in 20 minuites.
-
"what! no it's not!" renegade yelled at stefan and then said "so do you want to join team nova or not?"
-
Calx takes a quick glance at Stefan without turning his head and does a "once over" of the man in front of him.
"You are named Brutus now" he states as he continues walking down the hallway, continuing to look for a roster sheet.
Entering the living area again, a knife in the wall catches his eye. Pulling it out and having it drop to the floor, Calx reads the paper it was in. 4 teams and a list of names for each; Rex, Nova, Luna, Flare.
"The sun, casts everything in shadow, provides life at a distance and burns anything that gets close to it. Flare, phosphorus based explosive to provide a signal of some kind, corresponding to the color of phosphorus, giving away your position rendering stealth useless. Rex...an abbreviation of Tyrannosaurus Rex, extinct predatorial species of Cretacious Period. Moon, uses the light of the sun to cast its own beauty on the earth. Its mere existance causes the waves to shift and change..."
He pulls his own knife out and etches "Boring" under the columns of names, and walks away.
-
"hmph curse you stefan" renegade thought
-
Demos heard the speakers click on.
"10 minutes until the game starts."
He felt he would do okay here. He just had to see people before they saw him - No. They wouldn't see him.
-
Boring.
Stefan smiled. This Calx was real character.
-
Think you can do this?
Think you can shut up?
...
Ten minutes... he thought, clenching the bag around his neck
After we go in, they have 2 to find me.
-
I walked in to the Launch Room holding what was left of a hamburger. My men were eyeing it.
Should have been faster, or maybe you should not have so much to get ready before each battle. Just fight, the battle last 5 hours. After that you can eat.
6 minutes...
-
Stefan met up with Astrid at the entrance. Procuring a long cable, he linked his pack to Astrid's.
"This cord is twenty feet long. I don't want you more than ten feet away from me at any given time. Got it?"
"Got it."
-
Demos saw a vast landscape before him. Mountain after mountain turning the horizon into a magnificent crown. Then reality hit him, in the form of an icy wind chilling his face to the bone. Demos sought comfort. He needed a cave.
No! Everyone will go to caves. Too risky.
I'll stay in the open.
It would be hard, but Demos would risk it. Better to die being smart than by a stupid mistake. At least if he froze to death, nobody would get a kill for it.
He heard a crunching sound. Another. 2 more. Same time between the sounds. Footsteps. Good. Company already. Probably looking for shelter of some sort. They wouldn't make it. Demos shot his knives out from under his sleeves. He turned his head slowly, hoping he hadn't been spotted. The man was looking near him, probably searching for a cave. If Demos moved now, he would be killed. Best bet was to stay still. A minute passed. Demos heard a footstep. Then shouting from behind him. He turned, saw the man running away, and put 2 bullets in his back before he went 2 steps. The man fell, staining the snow red. Another bullet struck him in the upper thigh. Before long he disappeared. Demos was on the ground before the man completely vanished, waiting for whoever killed him. When he didn't show up, Demos crawled slowly to the edge of a cliff, hoping no one would see him.
-
Kain dressed in a white coat and pants, and got a white scarf. He wished he could wear his armor, but he would freeze to death.
"If we're in the mountains, I'll have an easier time killing people if I use a gun."
Kain considered getting out his old sniper. He couldn't do it. It brought back to many painful memories. Instead he got out his bolt action .308 Savage. It was an accurate rifle, and he had killed many deer with it. If he could kill deer with it, he could kill people. At least that made him remember something other than the only friends he had ever had. He grabbed Gungnir, which had been fixed.
When the match started, he ran up the mountain a ways, and then found a cliff where he could see far below his position. He watched for any people. There were a couple of caves nearby, so Kain could kill anyone stupid enough to try to hide in them. Then he saw someone walk near his position. He looked through the scope, and realized it was Demos. Kain waved to him, so that if Demos saw him he wouldn't try to kill him.
-
Stefan trudged through the snow with Astrid following close behind. He had his own personal kill tapeworm now. At least she was cute.
Seeing a few men from Flare marching through the snow with their backs to him, Stefan turned to Astrid.
"Hun, what team are you on?"
"...Hun...?"
"Nevermind that part. Team?"
"Nova?"
The crowd was about ten feet away. Plenty of room on the cable. Wiping a bit of frost off his eyepatch, Stefan charged the three members of Flare, incapacitating the first instantly with a flying knee to his nose. The second, he ducked under the swing of a knife and returned a punch to the throat. Apparently he'd hit a bit too hard, because this one vanished to the infirmary. The third member was staying back a bit, clearly not an up-close-and-personal kind of guy. Stefan fired a round into his hip, motioning for Astrid to come out. He handed her his knife and allowed her to finish off the two on the ground.
-
Nice and slow. No neccessary sounds.
Calx was crawling up a slope. Climbing up the snowy ridge to get a view.
37,36,35,34...
Everything was working well. In just a few more seconds, he would be ready.
5...4...3...2...1. Set.
Calx found his spot, and he lay there. Watched as one man was taken down. Another was prone, waiting. A third was a little further away, in a tree, his gun barrel sticking out from the branches. A fourth...waved?
Ignore him he's baiting you.
Always make sure your gun is sighted properly, or where you aim isn't going to be where your bullet goes
Calx closed his eyes and smiled
She treated me like an idiot when we first met.
He opened his eyes and aimed over at the muzzle sticking out of the tree, adjusting his aim to go into the branches.
Inhale, and slowly exhale as you fire
He fires, and the body drops out of the tree.
make sure you're clear before you move
-
A body landed with a loud crunch next to Stefan shortly before vanishing.
"Damn snipers. Was that Eclipse, Calx or someone else...? Ah, doesn't matter. Let's go find a cave. I'm sure everyone's gonna be cooped up in them."
-
The doors flung open and I was meet with a blast of freezing air. The territorys were clear. five caves. I sent most of my men up the largest mountain. We needed a base.
Crimson since your new you will be part of the assault force. Assault force assemble! Five of my strongest men steeped forward.
Lets play!
My men charged up the mountain at a controlled run. Team Flare was there trying to take it themselves.
Now! Kill them all, leave no survivors!
My men let out a huge roar, the rookie team of Flare retreaded into the cave. Now we had them soronded and could kill any one in the cave.
Move!
I led the charge into the cave, cutting men in half, severing heads and limbs.
When team Flare Was able to escape one third of my men were wounded. I checked myself to see how bad I had gotten it. I had a large gash that ran the length of my stomach.
First Aid kit now!
-
Stefan heard Rex yelling of in the distance. Typical Rex wangst.
Having a great idea, Stefan drew his revolver and fired three rounds in the direction of the noise.
-
Kain noticed Stefan and a girl kill three guys. Then he saw a body drop out of a tree. He saw someone a sniper. Kain moved, knowing that he would easily be killed by the sniper. He made sure that the sniper wouldn't be able to see him, and positioned himself in his new spot. He still had a good view of everything below him. He watched Stefan through his rifle's scope. When he had a good chance, he would try to kill him. Then Kain heard some men yelling. When Stefan started shooting, Kain breathed in, and then slowly exhaled. He kept the gun steady and tried to shoot Stefan.
-
Team Rex rushed team Flare like storm. Stords and knives flying around, wounding almost everyone. Crimson was lucky enough to get just a small cut on his thigh. He looked at Rex who had a huge gash across his stomach. He found a first aid kit and brought it to Rex.
-
Crap! Send a small group of men to see what is going on, make sure they have armor on.
The Medic ran over to me, and started to clean the wound up.
Sir, this is a very deep wound, I can't do much while we are in the game.
DO WHAT YOU CAN!
Yes sir.
Four men were approaching where the gunshot came from...
-
A bullet whizzed by Stefan's head. Downward angle. Sniper.
Before anything else, Stefan put himself between Astrid and the direction from which the bullet had come. Against armor piercing rounds, that wouldn't do much good, but that shouldn't be a problem. This wasn't a very good sniper. Definitely not Eclipse.
A moment of searching revealed about half of a Savage. Stefan took his time aiming, and fired a single round towards the sniper, whom was definitely out of his Colt's range.
At the same time, Stefan's eyes darted towards another sound. Four members of Rex's team.
"C'mon, Rex, four and a sniper against one? Be fair, now. I've got dead weight with me!"
-
Begin moving to the next location when you're sure you're clear
Calx begins to crawl across the mountain, keeping his altitude the same.
He aims his rifle towards an empty cave.
Waiting on you idiots now.
3 shots ring in his ears.
revolverroundsnorthnorthwestthreeshotsawaitingreturnfire
Looking towards the sound, he sees two people, one with a sidearm pointed towards a cave.
You look familiar. Stefan? Who's the other one? Are they...tethered?
He sighs, and decides to watch them.
A bit of snow exlplodes behind Stefan, four men make their way towards them

-
Sh*t. I haven't shot a gun in so long... I use to be good at this.
Stefan shot back at Kain with his gun. Kain was out of range, so he wasn't hit by the bullet. Kain decided to help Stefan out and kill some of the men from Team Rex.
-
Good Job Crimson, GET TO WORK DOC!
Yes sir.
The doc started pouring peroxide over the wound, and started patting it dry with Gauss. He opened his kit and pulled a Sowing needle and stitched the wound up...
The men I sent approached the sound and saw a two people standing right in the open. They charged them letting out a huge roar...
-
As the four men charged at the intruders Crimson pulled out three shuriken and threw them at the intruders.
-
Stefan grimaced as the four approached him. On their own, they were no likely threat. With Astrid here, on the other hand...
One of them dropped spontaneously to the ground before vanishing. Sniper fire again?
Another approached him with a sword. Dashing forward, Stefan, landed an elbow directly in the target's skull. He stumbled backwards into the snow. The next one he dispatched with a roundhouse kick, crushing his hip. That left just one. This fine black gentleman had a hammer.
"Astrid, would you say the fact that the black guy has the least efficient weapon is racist?"
"I... no?"
"Okay, cool."
Stefan pulled the last man into a guillotine choke, turning him to Astrid as an invitation to finish the job. She embedded the knife in his back, and the last man vanished.
Stefan noticed Rex being patched up off in the distance, and gave him a hateful glare, his usual humor gone. You don't mess with helpless girls.
"What's wrong, Rex? Can't take care of me and Astrid here yourself? Gotta send in the grunts first?"
-
Never Miss your target, it will always come back to haunt you
youmissed. youshotandmissedifoundyouandyoumissed
Calx calm look was replaced by one filled with rage.
Nodeathforyouonlypainyoumissedyoumissedyoumissediwontkillyoubutyouwillfeelpain
He fires at the shooters shoulder, and puts his focus back on Stefan, to notice another person had joined the fray, and was charging toward him.
Now you on the other hand, will have your friends drop before you
He fires a round at the four that went for the two who were tethered together.
4 targets remaining
Firing from the same position too many times will get you shot
He takes his eyes of the sight, and begins to crawl down the mountain.
-
Kain watched Stefan and the girl kill the other three men. Kain watched for anyone else. He noticed someone from Team Nova trying to sneak up on them. He snuck out of the cave he was in. Kain shot the the man from Team Nova. He fell to the ground with no head.
-
I hear the roar turn to silence, idiots. There is a sniper.
We cant stay in here forever. We need to break that sniper out of his hiding spot! I stood up and started walking towards the exit of the cave. I drew my sword and ran out. The pain in my Gut kept me from going as fast as I could. When i got to where the sound had come from, I saw Stefan with a girl. He was helping that girl kill my men. I drew my gun and fired it at them, every shot missed...
-
Stefan marched on Rex, holding Astrid in place behind him. His glare didn't cease.
"Rex!" He shouted. Louder than before. "Fire towards Astrid again, and I swear to GOD you'd better hope your death is a quick one!"
Why am I so protective of this girl? Because she's helpless, of course. She needs me right now.
-
Kain saw Rex shoot at Stefan and the girl. Kain didn't know why he was trying to keep Stefan alive. He shot at Rex. He missed. Kain lined Rex up in the crosshairs of the scope, and tried to shoot him again.
-
Curse my shooting skills! I picked my sword up off of the ground and charged him. Then a bullet barley missed my head, I dropped and tried to find out who was shooting at me. Kain was aiming at me with a gun. I slid down the small hill I was on and tried to ambush them...
-
Calx stared at the girl through the sights.
You don't belong here.
Someone was clenching his chest and firing at them.
Unforgivableshedoesntevenneedtobehereandyoushootwellthenyoumaydiewithyourfriendsmyapologies
He lines up a headshot, and fires.
-
"Oh, hell no, Rex. You're not getting out of this one."
Stefan chased after him, drawing his knife from his forearm and aiming a downward stab to the base of his neck.
-
Kain's second shot missed too. He had one shot left before he had to reload. Rex slid down the hill. Kain couldn't see him anymore.
Great. I have no idea where he is.
Kain got his spear ready, in case Rex tried to kill him up close.
-
((Have you seen Saving Private Ryan?))
Stefan had pinned me on the ground and was trying to stab me int the throat... I caught his hand and tried shove him off of me, but he had a lot of muscle and his knife was getting closet to my throat...
-
That tether will kill them both
he fires another round, this time at the rope that bound the two together
easierthiswayonecantakecareofhimselfshedoesntbelonghere
The other had the one that shot at the girl pinned down
easy. fire.
-
Stefan felt the cord binding him to Astrid snap. Now she was being left unchecked. Stefan withdrew his knife hand, punching Rex in the chin with the other, and jabbing his finger into Rex's chest.
"Wait here." He was growling at this point.
Stefan trudged back to Astrid. She was fine, but the cable was toast.
"New rule, Astrid. Hide. Hide close. If someone finds you, run towards me."
She nodded and hid herself in some bushes. Stefan nodded and turned back to Rex.
-
Stefan got off of me, I jumped up and grabbed my sword. Soon he was heading my way again. I threw one of my Surikens into his leg...
-
Watch the ones you need to keep alive, kill your prey as they get close
The girl began to run, Calx kept her in sight at all times, having to down another two men, and reload.
-
Stefan gasped as the blade embedded itself in his leg. Thankfully, he was a Thai boxer. Thick-ass shin bones mean minimal damage to his leg. Pulling it out, he closed the distance between himself and Rex, launching a roundhouse kick with his good leg. The other would be out of commission for this match.
-
I ducked and dodged the kick, I tried to bring my sword up and cut him in half, but it was stuck in the ground... I rolled out of there and unsheathed my K-Bar.
-
Rex procured a large knife. Looked to be about WWII era. Perhaps it was time to test out the few months of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu he'd taken a few years back. He switched from his Muay Thai stance to the less familiar Jiu Jitsu stance. It didn't feel right, but he knew disarming an opponent was a grappler's move.
-
Kain watched Stefan and Rex fight. He was going to wait for the right moment to kill Rex. He couldn't get a good shot.
-
I know you don't belong here, but do something
Calx had to down another two while making sure this girl didn't die. A third came up from behind her and raised a knife over her head. He promptly shot that arm off.
A Barret M82? Be careful the shockwaves alone can kill someone if its too close to their head. Your killzone is about 5 inches from a person to kill them anyway
He cringed. That was a stupid mistake, a mistake that almost killed the person he was covering.
Now take the knife and cut his throat, he's still breathing...
-
People were dying left and right around Astrid. She wasn't doing that.
One of them was still alive. As she had the last three, she promptly finished him off.
"Hey, Astrid, did you get psychic powers, or a new best friend?"
"I-...I don't know... They're just DYING."
"Fantastic. You've been spotted, by the way. Time to leave that bush."
-
Everyone has occupied themselves
If you ever get to take a break during a job, appreciate it, and then immediately ifnd something to do because, you're abviously doing something wrong.
Lets count how many are left. Are those two still fighting? Boring. Time to break it up.
Calx fires a round between Stefan and the other, and brings his attention back to the girl.
-
While Stefan's attention was on some one other than me, I grabbed my sword and got behind a rock for cover from any sniper. It was 100 yards to my cave. I got ready to run it...
-
During this time Demos slowly crawled to the entrance of Team Rex's cave. He didn't seem to be spotted yet, so he had to make his entry clean and quick. Drawing the P226, he stood, and did a classic quick turn in. No one was visible.
Get out. You've probably been seen.
Just 1 kill..
Get out!
He pulled back, returning to the outside of the cave. Then he looked down. Lots of people. At least 15. Must be.. Nova and Luna. Perfect. Demos could join in from behind Nova and take out a few of them. Maybe regroup with his team. He slid down the mountain, slowly picking up speed.
-
As Rex was attacking the guy with the girl Crimson saw someone hiding not to far away. Crimson slide down the hill and out of his point of view. He drew his sword and slowly creeped up on him.
-
Rex was gone. Astrid's attackers had more or less died off. Even Rex's new lackey was gone. It was, for the moment, safe. It occurred to Stefan that Astrid may need something more than a knife to defend herself. Drawing his Colt, he reloaded and handed it to her, which she accepted sheepishly.
"After the match, I'll show you how to use it. For now, just avoid encounters, and shoot if you need to. And for the love of god, DON'T lose it. I've been through a lot with that Colt."
-
I slowly lifted my head.
My Gillie suit provided excellent diguise. I crawled an between a large patch of long grass, untill I was able to see a few of Team Flare about to breach a building.
Measuring wind speed as I zoomed popping 4 shots into each of their Knee caps. They began to scream in pain. I grinned waiting to see if their cries would attract any attention. I had to be extra carefull. I wasnt the only Sniper now, I have to watch out.
-
Kain watched Demos slide down the mountain. He saw Team Luna and Team Nova fighting. Kain got out his spear, and got his stuff. He ran down the mountain to get to the two teams. When he got there, a man from Team Nova swung his sword at Kain's head. Kain dodged the blow and stabbed the man. Another guy ran at Kain. He drew his M1911 and fired three times. The first two shots missed, but the third did.
I need to work on my accuracy.
-
renegade was looking for a base when he saw stefan the guy who had beaten him every time renegade picked up a rock like the first and threw it at him and yelled"ready for round 3?"
-
The crunch of the snow catches Calx's attention.
Point for you
Keeping his eyes on the girl, he reaches for his beretta, waiting for the person to get closer.
-
The Brat. Again.
"Not now, son, the grown-ups are talking."
Stefan led Astrid away from the location, towards another cave in the distance. More targets.
-
I saw a skirmish going on out side of my cave. I got with in yelling range and told my men to attack. 20 men came charging out of the cave and slammed into the side of Team Nova. I drew my sword and charged in. I killed 5 people before I came face to face with Demos...
-
Crimson joined the assault on team Nova. He came face-to-face with another guy with a sword. Crimson took the first strike and cut his leg, slighty chipping his bone. The man then swung back, but Crimson dodged the strike. The man left his chest wide open. Crimson saw this and thrusted his sword, breaking the ribcage and puncturing his lungs. He fell down and faded away. Too easy. Crimson then moved on to the next guy he saw.
-
On the move again...
Calx takes his hand off of his beretta and puts his focus back on the pair. They were headed for another cave, filled with soldiers.
well, time to get started. He fires 3 rounds into the cave, killing 2 and incapacitating a third.
Just stay there for a bit, I have to move
He draws his beretta, and crawls across the mountain face to see clearly into the cave, and waits, watching.
-
renegade saw rex out of the corner of his eye and then yelled "yo rex! want a fight?"
-
I rolled out of Demos' sight before he could get in an attack.
"yo rex! want a fight?" It was that scrany little kid.
F*ck you! Bring It! I charged at him with all my force, running in zig-zags encase he tried to shoot me...
-
renegade saw rex charging at him and threw a knife at rex it nicked rex's shoulder and renegade started firing at rex
-
That punk ripped my jacket! He then started shooting at me, i got behind a rock and waited for him to reload. When he did, I came out and started throwing my Surikens...
-
I had moved position. I could spot Renegade and Rex battling.
If anyone was killing Renegade it was me. Rex threw several Shurkiens. Anticipating their path I shot them out of the air, followed by zooming in on Renegade landing a shot into his Kneecap.
-
Some one shot my Shurikens, i hid and took cover waiting for the sniper to fire again. He did, hitting Renegade in the knee, now i knew where he was. I started up towards him...
-
Crimson turned his attention to some guy twirling around a large wooden staff. Crimson raised his sword and slice at the staff, but the sword just bounced off it. Dammit. The dude with the staff turned his sights on Crimson, and swung the staff at him. The staff hit Crimson in the chest and knocked him off his feet. He was struggling to get up when the staff came down on him again. Crimson swung his sword around, cutting off the guys foot. He fell on his back. Crimson managed to get up, and stab him in the heart, finishing him off. The guy faded leaving the blood-stained snow.
-
renegade got up and said "good thing i wear bullet proof armor after the stefan shot him and shot a few bullets at the sniper and threw another knife at rex and said"why do they always double team me?"
-
A knife hit me in the shoulder. I turned around and threw one of my daggers into his chest, not enough to kill him. but it would slow him down. I turned my attention back to the sniper...
-
I would have to deal with Renegade later.
I loaded a Poison dart into my Sniper. Aiming in a gap in Renegades armour just inbetween the neck.
Rex was approaching. I smirked to myself. I would be impossible to spot in my Gillie suit.
That was what I thought untill two seconds later a few bullets came flying past my head.
"Evidently not." I thought to myself before retreating up to a small cavern in the mountain.
-
i felt a dagger and thought well he's good and i threw all my knifes into him i watched him disappear
now i need to deal with the sniper renegades tarted firing at the sniper and hit him in the arm and then started firing again
-
The cave had a good ten soldiers in it. One of them was wounded.
Stepping into the mouth of the cave, Stefan held his arms out slightly, inviting all opposition. Team Flare.
Three swordsmen approached him, one carrying a shield. Stefan kicked the one with the shield, shattering his femur. Pulling the shield from the dying man's hands, he blocked two incoming sword slashes, dropped the shield, and drew his knife, pouncing on one of the remaining two and embedding the knife in his jugular vein. The last, he punched in the throat, incapacitating him. The remaining seven didn't seem all to eager to fight.
-
(I sense some God modding)
After a quick, unexpected encounter with Rex, Demos continued to slide down.
Halfway there.
About 200 more feet.
150.
100.
25.
He tucked and rolled into the snow, burying him almost knee deep when he stood up. He pulled his P226, trying to find the nearest Nova member. He heard footsteps to his right. Maybe he hadn't been seen.
Don't look..
Demos waited. The footsteps were closer.
He must be backing up.
He turned to look. Sure enough, the man was turned around, backing away from somebody else. He was dribbling blood into the snow. Demos shot his wrist knives out from under his sleeves. Slowly approaching the man, he slid the blades cleanly into his spinal cord. A faint cracking was heard, buried by many layers of clothes.
"Hope you don't mind, mate" Demos winked as he said it.
"You look like you'll be fine, anyway."
The man was big, in the muscular way, and carried a morningstar. He must be new, Demos hadn't seen him before.
He continued on the search for other Nova members. One kill was good enough for now. Demos wanted at least 2 more. A man on team Nova was running. It looked like he was running towards an already injured Luna player. Demos ran towards him, on track to intercept the running man.

1
Now.
He jumped, tackling the man in midair. When Demos landed, he landed alone. The other was already dead, stabbed in the throat and heart. He turned to his dying teammate. There was nothing he could do. The man was shot in the stomach. Demos raised his arm to his forehead. Then ran.
-
Some brat was throwing knives at Rex. Crimson quickly pulled out a shuriken threw it at his neck. It was going strait toward his jugular vein.
-
Too many people in the cave to leave alone...
Always take out the most dangerous targets first
One of the pair downed 4, but the other 6 were still standing.
Lets play a game shall we?
Calx purposely aims for the backs of the soldiers legs, using 4 rounds, he blasts the kneecaps off of 4 five of them, one gone for three, and a torso shot on the fourth; killing him.
reload again...
Not hitting where you aim is the same as missing
-
Everyone in the cave collapsed as a red mist erupted from their lower body, save for one that simply died.
"....What?"
Stefan shrugged and motioned for Astrid to come in. She killed all the downed soldiers. He would have taken one of the kills for himself, if it had been him that'd beaten them, rather than some invisible, ever-present ally.
-
He rolled over on his back, and looked up at the sky
2 left, can you handle it?
-
Deccers' stomach still felt a little queasy after the whole teleportation deal. He eye'd his surroundings: beautiful, snow covered mountains receded into the distance. On anyother day his breath would have been taken away. But not today. Today, he was cammed up for woodland.
You have GOT to be kidding me.
He mentally shrugged it off. Wearing the wrong cam was just plain stupid, it got you killed. But getting killed here, wasn't exactly getting killed. Team Nova appeared round him, they seemed fairly organised, splitting up into 8 man sections. Deccers could see that it wouldn't work. These guys weren't disciplined, they'd split at the first sign of trouble.
Some kind of defacto leader came up to him. He'd been the one giving advice to the others. He looked a little tougher than the others and a Clamore hilt protruded above his left shoulder. Deccers took an instant dislike to him. Anybody who tried to exert power here pissed him off.
'I'm Robbo. I see you favour a rifle. You may wish to change that.
Deccers snorted 'To what? A sword?'
'Your gun can run out of ammunition.'
'I carry plenty of ammunition for my RIFLE'
'They jam.'
'Mine don't'
With that he stormed off, away from the group. He didn't want to watch them get killed. He tightened his sling so that the butt of his rifle was firmly in his shoulder, ready to be brought up into the firing position. Pulling the bolt back, he ensured there was brass in the chamber before letting it slide forward. He flicked the safety off and switched to single fire. He then repeated this with his pistol.
A scream pierced the air behind him. Deccers stopped.
I don't need them.
The lack of exercise caused the cold to slowly penetrate his thick skin. Another man screamed.
They're not actually dying. Right?
He closed his eyes and tried to think. Rowan's blood covered face appeared, his breathing was shallow.
'Please... don't leave me dude.'
'F*ck it.' He swore under his breath and turned on his heel, back to the noise of death and destruction, taking cover behind a snow drift. Everybody except Robbo was either dead or had escaped.
I thought these guys were supposed to be good.
Grudgingly, Deccers had to admit to himself that the guy made an effective one man army. He was suffering badly from a cut to his right thigh, and he'd taken at least one bullet. A man with a warhammer came at him from behind. Deccers lined up his sights, and squeezed the trigger twice. The first bullet entered the side of his rib-cage, the second his skull. He disappeared before he hit the ground.
This teleportation malarkey is gonna take some getting used to.
He carried on, shooting anybody not too close to his team mate. If Robbo was surprised to see men dropping around him he didn't show it.
-
Stefan looked around the empty cave, shrugged again, and left, Astrid closely following.
There was shouting and gunfire off to the south. Considering Astrid already had a professional amount of kills, he figured it was time to do himself a favor.
Following the sound, he came across Deccers and someone else from Nova. Again, the faceless mook had a sword. What's so great about swords?
"Oi, Deccers. I see you've made yourself at home."
-
As i ran up the mountain towards the sniper Some bullets wized past me, I paid them no heed.I got to where the sniper was located and looked around. I saw a trail of blood leading to a cave. I followed it to the cave and threw a rock in...
-
Crimson didn't bother with the brat anymore. He went back into the crowd of people and knives and swords and bullets, looking for someone to challenge.
-
'Oi, Deccers. I see you've made yourself at home.' Deccers recognised it as Stefan. Never taking his eye off the targets, he tried to come back with some kind of witty comeback, just like in the movies. Stuff like this had never been his strong point.
'And I see you've got yourself a girlfriend.' Not exactly award winning stuff, but hey, he was no comedian. 'You're not gonna shoot me from behind are you? I'm kinda busy.'
Hey, that was pretty witty. He smirked to himself as another body fell. That round left a bright stream of light behind it.
'RELODING! He called. More out of habit than because he thought anybody would take notice.
-
"Me? Nah, I don't even have my gun right now. Astrid might. I'd be happy if she didn't, though. See, I've been letting her sap most of my kills this match, and now that she has more than I usually get, I figure it's time I had some fun myself. You wouldn't happen to be any good with your fists, would you?"
Stefan didn't mention the part where Astrid wasn't his girlfriend. He kind of figured that one would go without saying.
-
Two team Flare members rushed at Kain, one on each side. He grabbed one's arm and flung him into the other. Kain pulled out his M1911 and shot each of them. He turned and reloaded his gun, then got his spear out. He heard someone shoot. Kain walked in the direction that he had heard the shot, and soon he saw a cave.
-
'Fists? Nah, judo's the only hand to hand combat I've tried.'
Robbo had finally met his match, a woman dressed in a cat-suit ran him through with her katana. Unfortunately, she didn't seem to overlook the fact that some of her comrades had been shot. She charged in his general direction.
Deccers pulled out the spent mag and shoved it down his jacket, sliding a fresh one into the rifle. He hesitated before pulling the trigger. Killing women wasn't exactly enjoyable.
-
Stefan watched a woman drop and vanish as Deccers put one between her eyes.
"Well, that puts me in an awkward position, you know?"
-
From my vantage point I could see some one gaining on the cave, Kain. That bastard, trying to take my kill! I unsheathed my sword and jumped down, trying to cut him in half. I missed and hit his spear instead. I backed up and waited for him to move.
Your weak, you can't beat me!
-
Crimson came up to a really large man weilding an axe. Crimson ran at him, dodging every swing. Once he was up close he swung at his gut. Missed. The axe was coming down on him. Instictivly Crimson put one hand one the blade while keeping one hand on the grip to stop the axe from hitting his head. The impact made his blade cut his hand. Crimson then swung at his gut again. This time he hit and the man watched as his intestines fell out. He faded away. Crimson sucked up the blood and moved on.
-
Kain's spear was knocked out of his hand when Rex hit it.
"You better not have broken my spear again."
Kain pulled out his pistol and fired two shots at Rex.
-
I dug my sword in the ground and brought it out flinging snow in Kain's face.
Always watch your opponent! That is what allowed me to escape. Now where am I?
I was on the rock wall behind him, my black outfit helped me to blend in perfectly...
-
Kain quickly wiped the snow off of his face. He looked for a while and spotted Rex. He acted like he had no idea where he was. He turned in the other direction as if he was still looking for him.
-
I had one shuriken left, i threw it into his back and darted deeper into the cave.
Catch me if you can!
-
If Kain hadn't been wearing as many layers as he was, the shuriken would have actually hit Kain's back. He pulled it out, grabbed Gungnir, reloaded his pistol, and chased after Rex.
-
I put on the Night Vision goggles I had found last battle. I saw Kain coming my way.
How is your Night Vision? I waited until he was right next to me then I launched my attack. i aimed a sword strike at the hand with the gun...
-
Kain saw something out of the coner of his eye. Rex swung at the hand Kain was using to hold his gun. Rex's attack surprised Kain, and he accidentally pulled the trigger while the gun was poined at Rex.
-
The bullet wized past my head, taking some of my hair with it.
Oh, now you've done it! That was my hair!
I brought my sword down on his shoulder...
-
Demos heard shouting up the mountain, but continued to run the opposite direction. As he turned the corner, he saw a girl. Demos didn't like killing girls. He decided it should be a fair fight if he was to kill her at all. He kept running. There were more people. As he got closer, he looked closer. It was Stefan, and the new guy with the rifle. He figured they wouldn't kill him, and continued towards them.
Demos spoke to Stefan. "Fancy meeting you here. I see you have some new friends."
-
Stefan turned around at the sound of Demo's voice.
"Well howdy. I'm sure you remember Deccers. This pretty lady here is Astrid. Today, I'm acting as her crutch. After the match we're gonna find her a good handgun and I'm gonna show her how to use one. She just barely made it above the bottom ten last week."
Stefan leaned closer to Demos and lowered his voice.
"Her brother? Not so lucky."
-
*Yawn*
That was a nice nap. Anything interesting happen?
Calx rolls over, and looks through his scope. The girl, Stefan, and now a third person were all grouped together, surrounded by red stained snow.
It appears you could handle it. Good for you
He zoomed in to max, and focused on the unfamiliar face. His eyes were sunken from lack of sleep, and a tired look covered his face.
There weren't many left, and Calx decided it was clear enough to start getting closer. He begins to crawl down the mountain, making his way towards what was left of the fighters. He stops at the base, approximately 500m from where he last stopped, another 350 from the group of three.
-
Demos was surprised that Stefan was helping somebody. He just didn't seem the type.
"So, where are you guys off to now?"
-
"Well... I don't know, actually. We're pretty much set for today."
Stefan tried remembering exactly how many kills he'd gotten. It mas more than usual, to say the least.
-
"Most of the people are dead.."
Demos looked around.
"There, at the top of that cliff. There's got to be people there."
He started to run, and didn't check to see if anyone was following him.
-
Stefan waited until Demos was out of sight before he unbuttoned his jacket and checked the wound he'd gotten earlier in the match. Where had it come from? He didn't know, but it was deep. Stefan took back his Colt from Astrid, holstering it.
"Do what you want for the rest of the match. I'll be taking... a nap."
Falling back like a statue, he vanished the moment he hit the ground, reappearing in the infirmary.
-
Rex's sword hit Kain's left arm. Kain swung his spear as hard as he could. His spear hit Rex's sword. After he hit Rex's sword he tried to stab him.
-
poop.
Calx stands up, and starts sprinting for the girl, completely out in the open, and alone.
-
Away from everyone, Dakentio Was watching the battle from afar, letting everyone else do the work. He tried to walk to a cave but seen someone running. He also saw a girl.
Let's cause some chaos. Phantom Fang!
He swung one of his blades forward from the ground, and a black Demon Fang came about. Going half as fast as a sniper bullet without losing velocity, it made its way to the other end of the arena. The snow from the ground quickly rose and stayed in the air for a few seconds, blocking the sight of each other.
-
Calx hears someone yell from his right.
He stops, crouches turns, and aims his sight towards the sound, and takes a blast in the chest, sprawling himself backwards, on the ground.
He coughs, the wind knocked out of him, his ghillie suit shredded, leaving him with his clothes underneath (http://p1cture.it/viewer.php?file=84968821851277197363.jpg).
Calx rolls over, onto his stomach and fires two rounds in the direction of his assailant.
-
Dakentio heard two shots fire. One sniped a piece of hair of of his head. The second one skimmed his blade.
That was almost a instant death. I may be out of my league.Double Phantom Fang!
The first one he sent was toward the shooter. The second one was slightly off to be used as cover to get close, since the snow stayed in the air a few moments.
-
[Ok, im sorry I'm calling bullcrap, we've been keeping this relatively realistic, don't bring bouncing bullets off of sword in here. I'm ok with you saying i miss, but don't write something retarded. The sheer force of a .50cal round hitting your sword would rip your arm clean off at the very least, it wouldn't even snap back, it would just no longer be there, to the most, you would explode from the sheer force of a mach3 bullet going and hitting you.]
-
renegade saw rex and kain fighting and pulled a knife out of a his pocket and threw it at rex it hit rex in the arm and then renegade said" next time finish what your doing or it might come back to haunt you" and renegade went to him and slashed his other arm anf rex disapeared renegade then saw kain and then said" are we gonna fight or not?"
-
(^god mod?^)
Crimson saw the brat from before. He attacked Rex while he was in the middle of fighting someone else. Crimson charged at him with his sword and slashed at his chest.
-
(huh?)
renegade was slashed in the chest and said"why doe every one always double team me" renegade then fell back and was teleported to the infirmary
-
The child was sent to the infirmary. Crimson then turned his attention to the one with the spear.
-
Deccers slammed his last mag home. Stefan appeared to have commited suicide, leaving the girl alone with some other guy. It seemed like most of the fighting had died down, barely any gunshots or shouts could be heard.
Great, and I'm still in the beginning area.
He bagan his way down the steep slope of the mountain. Time to capture some of those territories they were talking about. After about 20 minutes of slipping and sliding, he reached the tree line. Seriously out of breath, he leant against a tree.
I DEFINITELY need to hit the gym some more.
Suddenly, the forest in front of him turned into a white washed wall. He was violently sick.
-
He stands back up, grabs the carry handle, keeps running towards the girl, with the 12kg gun in his right hand, ignoring the person who attacked him.
"Sorry about this, but we gotta move. You're right in the open!" He yells as he runs towards the girl, grabbing her with his left hand as he passes.
"If i have to deal with you because your friend ended up getting dropped, I'm at least getting you somehwere where i can watch you."
Calx heads towards the cave that he previously downed 4 men inside.
-
So he was trying to save her instead of killing her. Guess I'll wait for another one. You gained my respect, Sniper.
Dakentio Put his blades on his back again. He then took out his picture and closed his eyes.
Don't worry. You will be saved...
He opened his eyes and went to a close by cave.
-
Crimson decided not to bother with him. He ran off to find another cave to capture.
-
Stefan moved to the armory, looking through the small firearms. From left to right, there was a 1911, a .44 Revolver, two Desert Eagles, which made him cringe. Nobody with even a sub par knowledge of guns would ever use one of those. There was also a Makarov and a GSR.
Noting the increase in variety of firearms available, he picked up the 1911. It was more accurate, as far as he knew, and accuracy was what mattered to a new shooter.
Maybe she can get a revolver when she's a bit better of a shot.
Returning to the infirmary, he waited either for the game to end or for Astrid to get whacked.
-
After entering the cave, Calx released the girl and lay on the ground., with his rifle pointed to the opening
"You just stay behind me, and nothing is getting in here with this thing pointed in their direction."
-
Kain was about to stab Rex when he suddenly teleported. Kain saw Renegade, who challenged him. Then someone killed Renegade and ran away. Kain dropped his spear and picked up his pistol. He fired three rounds at him, hoping to get a few more kills before he died.
-
Crimson was running off when he heard gun shots behind him. Suddenly there was a piercing jolt of pain in his left arm and right hamstring. He looked back and saw the guy with a spear, only now he had a pistol. Crimson reached into his pocket Only two shurikens left. He pulled one out and threw it at his face.
-
Kain was hit in the face by a shuriken. He teleported, and woke up in the infirmary.
I need to work on my accuracy
Kain walked to the shooting range and shot the targets with his rifle and pistol. He got a little bit better, but he still needed to work on his accuracy some more.
((Meowth, god modding is controlling another character. Even just modding them a little without permission is against the rules. You are allowed to mod if someone hasn't posted for a couple of days and someone isn't able to post because of it.))
-
Crimson sighed with relief. I got lucky there. If I had missed he would have had me for sure. Crimson struggled to get up. He leg still hurt from the bullet. He then limped toward the next cave up ahead.
-
Calx notices a head beginning to emerge from lower down the hill, he aims, and fires.
-
Kain had gotten lazy, apparently. He walked past Stefan in the direction of the armory and training rooms.
Astrid had gotten Stefan thinking. This whole Omnicide thing... did he really plan on staying here for the rest of his life? A lot of people get killed because of Omnicide, just from the executions. This Astrid girl... just the environment might be enough to kill her.
The had to get out, sooner or later.
-
Crimson drew closer to the cave. Suddenly it all seemed to stop. The last thing he saw was a guy with a gun. He woke up in the infirmary So that's what dying by a bullet to the head feels like...
-
Crimson poof'd onto the bed across from Stefan.
"Howdy, new guy. How's team Rex treating ya'?"
-
Kain stopped shooting, and went to get something to eat. He wished he could get out of Omnicide. He wondered if the war was still going on. He finished eating and walked around, not even knowing where he was walking. He was completely lost in thought.
-
Rex isn't that bad... Yet. Oh, and.. I don''t think I ever learned your name.
-
Calx sits up, with his back to the wall of the cave, and empty magazine drops out of his M82 (http://realitypod.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Barrett_m82_sniper_rifle.jpg) and slides his last magazine in.
ten rounds left...
"You! take this!"
He slides one of his 2 9mm Beretta customs (http://www.ksc-guns.co.jp/p_manager/pic/A926y.jpg) over to the girl.
"Just in case something happens to me" he smiles
"But I want it back"
-
I really, really hate teleporting.
Deccers looked around, hospital beds lined the walls, where downed men reappeared one by one.
I wonder which bastard killed me. I'll have to watch the highlights later.
After dumping his kit back in the dorm he hit the gym, trying to beat the rush at the end of the day. As he'd thought, the place was empty save for a loner on the bench press. Picking his way through discarded dumbells and weights, he headed towards the rowning machine.
'I guess I should thank you for saving my arse back there.'
Deccers spun round, he hadn't recognised Robbo without his armour on, although, his two-handed sword leant against the wall nearby. The African man was tall, seeing eye to eye with Deccers, his arms and chest were roped with thick muscles. He would have looked more at home wearing a grass skirt and wielding a spear.
'Yeah I guess you should.'
He took a seat and began to strap his feet in.
'You know, with your skills, we could split Team Nova between us.'
'Yeah, and are you going to tell me why would I want to do that?'
'With your commanding experience, you could keep some of those poor lads alive. You're not a bad person, otherwise I'd have been toast much earlier. Staff Sergeant.'
Deccers stopped mid-stroke.
'What do you know?' He managed to whisper, trying to regulate his breathing.
'I see I have your attention. We'll talk later, Deccers.'
Robbo turned and walked out.
'I never told you my name.'
At the door he paused.
'I know.'
-
I woke up in the infermery, apparently Kain had landed that attack... i had to get better with a gun. I went to the firing range and started shooting. Every shot I fired missed by a mile. I threw the gun and stormed out of the room. F*ck guns, I didn't need one.
-
Makarov, 1911. Makarov, 1911. Makarov...
The 1911 had higher accuracy, yet Stefan's mind kept drifting back to the Makarov.
What had that opponent's name been? Richthofen, after the Red Baron. Ten matches, five losses. Richthofen had sure been a terror in the ring. Not only that, but he could shoot just about anything with the Makarov, even if the bullet isn't in one piece by the time it reached its target.
Standing up, Stefan returned to the armory and picked up the Makarov.
-
The guy had got up and walked away. Crimson got up and went to the armory to get get some new shurikens to replace the ones he lost. After that he went to the mess hall where he found out the guys name was Stefan.
-
43...44...45...45 dead in total...theres only enough men left for a tie...
"Stay here, I'm ending this" Calx says with a smile, he gets up, and runs for the nearest cave, as he enters, he appears back in the infermary. The game was over.
-
Deccers was lost in thought as he rowed.
How the hell does that guy know me? I've been careful. Nobody here knows me. And how about that offer? I could put together a decent squad... No, then I'd be no better than them. And I've been out of the army for at least a year. I'm bound to be rusty.
Something was niggling him, something at the back of his mind.
Africa... Africa... Africa... The Democratic Republic of Congo! Sh!t, that was a while back.
-
The game ended. Good.
Stefan found Astrid in a bed near Calx.
"Well, you must be getting better already. Survived the whole round, eh?"
"Actually... someone else helped me after you left. He had a lot of guns."
"Really? Must be a lot of nice people around here, which is strange when you think about it. Now come on, you're gonna learn how to shoot."
Stefan handed Astrid the 1911 and led her to the shooting range.
-
renegade went to the armory and got a second pistol he was gonna need to be using the thing where you use 2 pistols at onc he went to the shooting range and saw stefan with a girl and stefan was teaching her how to shoot and renegade then thought to himself "stefan's got a date" renegade then started shooting at the target he setup
-
As i fumed out of the Shooting Range Stefan walked past with that girl. I stopped him.
Hey can you teach me to shoot?
-
Crimson went to the range to test out his new shurikens. As he entered he saw Rex approach Stefan, who was witha girl. Huh, I never thought I'd see a girl here.
-
renegade herd rex asking stefan can he teach him how to shoot and renegade thought to himself "why doesn't he get one of his men to teach him?" renegade then set p a few moving targets and started double pistoling them and got rid of all the 12 targets in 16 second
-
"Well... look at that. Rex, asking for help. Hold on a second, while I get Astrid here situated. In the meantime, find me the gun you plan on using. That'll effect how you hold it. A lot."
Stefan turned to Astrid, showing her the basic grip on the pistol, along with how to use the sights.
-
After Crimson was done he went back to his room. He layed in the bed thinking about Daiki...
-
Deccers finished, sweat pouring from every pore. He trudged his way to the shower block, legs feeling like blocks of iron. He pulled his shirt off, exposing the coin dangling around his neck. He lifted it to his lips and kissed it, the same way he had every day since his CO was killed. Hot water enveloped his body, loosening his muscles and relaxing him.
When he was done he headed back to the living area.
-
I went to the armory to find a real gun. I was looking when I found the one I wanted. A Desert Eagle. (http://i52.tinypic.com/21jtxrq.jpg). I grabbed it and went back to the firing range to Show Stefan...

Rex came back from the armory. What was in his hand made Stefan burst out laughing. A Desert Eagle?
"Rex, Desert Eagles aren't good for anything but scaring teenagers off your lawn. You breathe on one of those wrong and they jam up. Even if it doesn't, good luck hitting anything from more than ten feet away."
-
Humph, so I don't know crap about guns! I found a gun, I grabbed it, end of story! What do you recommend?
I hate being corrected, but he was much better with guns, so I was going to listen.
-
"Well..."
Stefan removed the Makarov from his bag, handing it to Rex.
"Makarov (http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/3/3a/MakarovPM.jpg/300px-MakarovPM.jpg). USSR. Top notch."
-
Kain noticed that no one was around. He looked around, trying to figure out where he was. He was facing a wall with many doors. All of them were sealed shut. Then he realized that he was in a restricted area. He started trying to find his way back. Then he heard voices.
Sh*t, if I get caught I'll get killed.
Kain tried to find a way out. The voices kept getting louder and louder. Then Kain passed a door that had a computerized lock. He would try to remember where it was, but right now he had to find his way back.
-
renegade saw what rex had and burst out laughing and said "rex you picked possibly the worst gun in the armory!"
-
Stefan held his middle and index finger to his head.
"If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of someone pretending as if they'd known something all along."
-
Screw you punk! I grabbed the gun out of Stefan's hand, While I had my hand close to his I slipped him a note that read.
To whom is reading this note, do you really want to stay in this game for the rest of your life? If you don't show up in my training room, I have found a way out of here... Pass this note to some one you trust. Rex.
-
The dorm, mess hall and armoury were empty. The sound of shots from the firing range riccocheted down the hall. It was tempting, and shooting would take his mind off of... things. He bombed up a couple of mags and headed down.
-
I was watching Rex and Stefan having a little fight.
Grinning I looked downwards again checking the durability of my Sniper. It was getting on a bit. Sema- Automatics were reliable weapons, but I was ready to switch back to my bolt action. I walked past their little fight over to the armory. I wanted something light. But with strong qualities.
I looked across at an R700 hanging on the wall. That was my new weapon.
Long barrel, sleek, elegant. Bafflingly beautifull. (No im not describing my penis)
I grabbed the gun before heading back to my spot in the corner.
-
Stefan read the note carefully. So he wasn't the only one planning on getting out of here.
"What's it say?"
"Our old buddy Rex is planning something big. We'll be stopping by the Team Rex training room later. He also didn't interpret that last zinger too well. His loss, though. If he doesn't want to hit anything with that Makarov, it's not my problem."
He folded up the note and put it in his pocket. Nobody around right now he trusted.
"Now, try holding your arm out straighter, or the bullet's always going to land to the left of where you're aiming."
-
I aimed at the target and fired, every shot I fired missed. I was pissed, I was about to throw the gun, when I heard Stefan talking to Astrid: "Now, try holding your arm out straighter, or the bullet's always going to land to the left of where you're aiming." I aimed the gun again, and noticed that I was aiming to the right. I took aim again, this time straightening out my arm. I fired, the bullet hit the target, but it was any thing but a bulls eye. I put the gun down, later. I had to spread the word. I slipped Kain and Demos a note before I went to my training room...
-
Kain found a door. He saw some people coming around the corner. He ran through the door and ran down the hall as fast as he could. He ended up in a dark room. He found a door and opened it. He ended up in the infirmary. No one was there. He hurried out of the room. He had to tell Demos and Rex that he had found a way out.
-
I saw Kain enter the infirmiry cautiously. I was in the corner sorting out a few of my bullet wounds.
In the shadows of the corner of the room I spotted Kain. What ever he was doing. It was evidently something secret. I began to tail him, sticking to the shadows.
-
Kain went to Rex' training room, but he wasn't there. He walked to the shooting range and saw Rex shooting a Makarov. He walked over to Rex and started telling him what happened.
"I was wandering around and accidentally walked into a restricted area. I heard some people and tried to find my way out. I ran past a door that looked like it lead out of Omnicide. It had a computerized lock. If we can get through we might be able to get out of here." Kain spoke quietly because he didn't want anyone else to hear.
-
I have an easier way. My men have been smuggling me things in here. They found a weak spot in security. No more now, The meeting will be at lights out. Here me, if you talk to me again before tonight I will hurt you!
I aimed the gun again and started shooting, every time getting a little closer to hitting the target...
-
Deccers went prone, targets were 300m away. He spread his elbows out to either side, letting the magazine rest on the ground. He pulled the butt into the meaty part of his shoulder to minimise recoil. He cocked the rilfe, flicking the safety to the right. He lined up the head of the guy on the target with the tip of the arrow on the SUSAT sight. He breathed in, the arrow went up, he breathed out slowly. His finger took up the slack on the trigger. He breathed in, the arrow rose again. He breathed out until the sight lined up with the figure again.
BANG!
The round went off almost before he squeezed the trigger. He breathed in and out again.
BANG!
That one had hit a little bit lower. He breathed again.
BANG!
This one was slightly to the left. Another breath.
BANG!
Almost exactly in through the first hole. One last breath.
BANG!
He headed down to check his grouping. 5 holes penetrated the picture's skull.
-
The game was over. Dakentio teleported back to the hallway of the mess hall and ate some meat and carrots. Afterwards, he went back into the hallway and slept standing.
-
Rex was firing his shots one-handed.
"Hey, I know it looks cool in movies, but unless you're Bruce Willis, you need two hands to fire accurately. Use your off hand for support under the grip."
-
"Hey, I know it looks cool in movies, but unless you're Bruce Willis, you need two hands to fire accurately. Use your off hand for support under the grip."
I took his advice, and before i knew it I was hitting the second ring on the target.
Thank you.
I threw him a RGA Token.
As long as you have that my people wont touch you.
I walked twords the Mess Hall, I was hungry...
-
Crimson walked back to the mess hall. He got some food and sat down to eat.
-
Crimson, Training Room, Lights out tonight. If your not there you miss out.
I sat down next to him and started eating my Chili.
-
Stefan caught the large coin Rex threw to him. He considered how many kills he'd gotten in the past, and how many of them had been from Rex's team.
He pocketed the token. It might come in handy later, but for now, he needed that team for cannon fodder.
"Astrid, don't twist your elbow like that to absorb recoil. That's a revolver technique, not a pistol technique."
-
Okay Crimson didn't say anything else. He just ate his cheeseburger quietly.
-
Demos approached Rex after reading the note.
"Are you stupid?! You'll get us all killed! If you payed any attention at all, you'll have noticed that they monitor everything. If all of us get together at once, don't you think that will be a red flag for them? We need another way. I don't want to die any more than you do, Rex."
-
Stefan was hungry. Despite what people think of Omnicide's food, the pizza wasn't half bad. Leaving Astrid to her new weapon, he went to the cafeteria, ignoring the scratching coming from Calx's room on the way.
Demos was yelling at Rex. Loud. Fortunately, Stefan still had the remote, and the higher TV was still intact.
Grabbing a slice of pizza, he clicked on the TV, changing to the reggae channel and blasting "Why Can't We Be Friends" out of the speakers.
-
What the hell are you talking about pip squeak! I gave him a look that said "Shut up" I pushed him, and pushed a note into his pocket.
Don't worry, I have every thing figured out. Every night at a certain time the security system resets, giving you 10 minutes to do any thing...
Get the f*ck away from me! I winked at him and sat down...
-
Realizing he was annoying himself with the music, he clicked the *channel up* button once, changing to the rock channel, where "Another One Bites the Dust" was playing.
T'was a shame there was nobody to beat the christ out of at the moment.
-
Calx was prone on a rooftop. Waiting.
Waiting for what?
He looks through the scope of the rifle in front of him, its pointed at the building across from him.
A man in a suit with a white fedora walks onto the roof top.
He dies
He focuses his aim, and a glint catches his eye. He zooms in on it, and focuses. Its a girl. She's saying something,
"Im sorry"
Calx wakes up.
-
Don't do it Rex.
There is no reset. It was a rumor started by somebody long ago.
Your confidence will be your downfall...
Demos' dad was a gunsmith. Demos always liked the P226. He knew how to take one apart, find a problem, fix it, and put it back together in 2 minutes. He knew the gun inside and out. That's why when he disassembled his to scan for problems he was surprised to find something that shouldn't belong. A tiny chip, hardly larger than the point of a pin. He barely noticed it at first, but it kept aggravating him. He knew it must have some importance. He removed it, after determining that that must be what stops the gun from firing outside of battles and the range. He didn't want to test it, though. He reassembled the gun as if nothing ever happened. This was a great breakthrough. If he could do this to all guns...
They could get out, or at least have a better chance. He had to tell somebody. He ripped a page out of somebody's notebook. With a ballpoint pen, he wrote:
I found a chip in my gun. I'm betting that that was what stops it from shooting anywhere but at the range and during battles. If we could find these chips on other guns, we might be able to escape this hell hole. Ignore what Rex says. I know there is no reset. My friend hacked the system. He lost his life for it, and I don't want any more people dying after what he did. Help me. Don't go to Rex's meeting if you value your life. Trust me. I would die for our freedom.
~Incognito
Demos found Stefan. He tripped, or rather pretended to, stuffing the note into Stefan's pocket on the way down. He motioned his head towards Stefan's pocket from the ground before getting up and getting some food, if he could call it that.
-
As i walk past Calx's door, I trip on my feet and slide a note under his door.
I hope he can read...
-
Stefan felt the paper getting pushed into his pocket. More notes.
"Watch your step. You don't want to end up looking like a wrestler, do you? They've got some messed up faces."
-
Calx pats himself down, doing a check on his bodyparts. he notices one of his beretta's missing. he stands up out of bed, and starts wandering the halls, trying to be silent
Welcome back
Godammmit
Miss me?
Not at all...
Now now, don't be like that
Go away, I'm looking for something
Calx continues to look fo his beretta, eventually coming to the living room, and sitting in the corner he did last time., wondering where it could be.
-
Stefan moved to the bathroom to read the note. Demos had a plan of his own for escaping. Something about a chip preventing guns from working outside the arenas. He turned the paper around, pulling a pen out of seemingly nowhere. He was cool like that.
Revolvers don't have many parts. Finding mine shouldn't be hard. Eclipse? Deccers? Calx? Kain? They have guns.
-
When he woke up, Dakentio seen some one go to the restroom. He also seen someone in the mess hall. He decided to go to a simulation room, where he decided to go against himself.
-
Stefan left the bathroom, making an exaggerated stumble all the way to Demos, awkwardly jamming the paper in his pocket, and collapsing on the ground in a dramatic, cartoony fashion. This was all accompanied by poor interpretations of cries of agony, and more than one grasping of the chest.
-
Deccers was finished for the day.
I love the smell of cordite in the morning.
He packed up, unsure of whether to clean up the spent brass or not.
Well, I didn't make my bed this morning.
Feeling particularly rebellious, he strolled down to the mess hall, where a dinner of mushy peas and slimy meat awaited.
-
Crimson had took his tray up and left. He went to the training room where he worked with his hand claws.
-
I had stopped to follow Kain.
It seemed like he had nothing to hide in the end. I could spot Stefan reading a note carefull to not let anyone see.
One problem. I had. Whatever that note was I was going to find out what it said.
-
Deccers listened attentively as the details for tomorrow's battle were explained over the intercom, during dinner.
-
Tomorrows game will be Slayer. The game will be held in a team format. The first team to 25 kills will win, when the game concludes the rest of the teams will be scored by how many kills they have. If you are killed your team will lose a point, so avoid being killed. The game will be held in an apartment complex, have a nice night and a good fight tomorrow.
Great, I hate this game, it can take quite a while to win.
I went to my training room and started to set up for my Lights Out Meeting...
-
Kain was eating dinner when tommorow's battle was announced over the intercom.
"Tomorrows game will be Slayer. The game will be held in a team format. The first team to 25 kills will win, when the game concludes the rest of the teams will be scored by how many kills they have. If you are killed your team will lose a point, so avoid being killed. The game will be held in an apartment complex, have a nice night and a good fight tomorrow."
Kain finished eating and waited for Rex' meeting to start.
-
Before heading to bed, Stefan found Astrid and instructed her not to attend Rex's meeting. Between Rex and Demos, he trusted Demos more.
-
Calx stood up, and began to wander the halls again, looking for his berretta.
He eventually comes back to his room, where he pulls out his knife and begins to etch things into the wall again.
-
After he defeted himself, Dakentio heard the announcement
"Tomorrows game will be Slayer. The game will be held in a team format. The first team to 25 kills will win, when the game concludes the rest of the teams will be scored by how many kills they have. If you are killed your team will lose a point, so avoid being killed. The game will be held in an apartment complex, have a nice night and a good fight tomorrow."
Looks like I need a team to be on.
He wandered down a hallway and heard scratching from the room to his right. He knocked on the door three times. Slowly.
-
Stefan walked to bed, noticing an unfamiliar face knocking on Calx's door as he was on his way.
-
Someones at the door
So?
Maybe you should answer it
Why don't you? I don't really care either way, whether they come in or not
...
-
Dakentio entered the room, noticing and ignoring the etchings on the wall and remembers the guy in the room.
Hi there, sniper. He chuckled to himself.
-
(http://p1cture.it/images/45939698823678227165.jpg)
Calx stares at his work, with is thumnail in his mouth
"Swordman."
-
Deccers smiled at hearing the next battle would be in an urban environment. He'd enjoyed his training with the SAS in FIBUA. He headed over to the armoury and checked out an MP5K. The SMG would be much more suitable in a built up area. He was happy to comprimise range and firepower for mobility.
After dismantling and oiling the weapon he headed to bed. It was always advisable to get some kip before a fight.
-
Demos watched as Deccers disassembled his MP5K. He made sure to remember every part and where it went. He then disassembled it himself as Deccers slept searching for the chip. It would be harder to find, but it would be worth it if Deccers had a usable weapon. After about 10 minutes of searching, he found the small chip on the barrel. Demos removed it, and cautiously put the gun back together, making sure to do it exactly like Deccers had. Then, using a piece of paper he had saved, he wrote a note to leave under the gun.
This gun is not restricted to the range. Just don't test it out.
~Incognito
-
Kain saw Demos disassemble Deccers' gun, take out a chip, and then reassemble it. Kain walked to his bed, and waited for Rex' meeting to start.
-
renegade had heard about the chip he then disassembled both guns took the chip out and put the gun back together and then started planning how to escape the omnicide games
-
Crimson went to the team Rex training room. The meeting would probably be starting soon.
-
Lights Out.
The lights in the compound went out and the buzzing began. Time to get to work. Crimson was already here, now I just had to wait for every one else...
-
I ambled into Rex's room sharpening my knives on a piece of flint I had picked up.
Whatever Rex had to see it had better been worth my time.
-
renegade snuck into the air ducks and went to team rex training room to see what rex's eecape plan was
-
Well almost every one is here, I will just tell you what I know. My men have been smuggling things in here for me and have found a pattern. Every night the system dose a 10-2o minute reset, and in that time you can do anything. As of right now my men have a calendar and are testing to see if it is predicable. When that happens we can walk out of here and they won't know until morning. any Questions?
-
I grinned as I heard clambering coming from above.
Kicking the wall as hard as I could, the Air ventilation system fell from the ceiling, with Renegade's head poking out
-
renegade yelled "crap!" as he fell out of the air duck
-
Somewhere in the compound, there was a scream and a crash. Stefan had an odd feeling that it was for the best.
-
What teams are here?
-
Kain walked to Team Rex' training room. When he walked in Rex had just started talking.
Well almost every one is here, I will just tell you what I know. My men have been smuggling things in here for me and have found a pattern. Every night the system dose a 10-2o minute reset, and in that time you can do anything. As of right now my men have a calendar and are testing to see if it is predicable. When that happens we can walk out of here and they won't know until morning. any Questions?
Then Eclipse kicked the wall and Renegade fell out of the air duct.
"You aren't very good at spying. We could hear you in the air duct."
-
Deccers tossed and turned in his sleep. The sound of intense gunfire filled his dreams. Kids no older than 10, used by the cartels as drug mules, arming themselves with rifles. He'd had no choice. It was them or his squad. Robbo's face swum in and out. He was shouting at him in some African language. It was now or never, bullets were kicking up dust at his feet.
'RAPID FIRE'
-
Stefan's dreams were genuinely pointless. There were a lot of bees in this one. Only instead of stingers, they all had mittens. And there was a small hairy man spinning slowly through the air.
That's about it, really. Mitten bees and hairy men.
-
Renegade herd "your not very good at sneaking" renegade then said "atleast I can shoot a gun. so do you need someone else to help with the escape?"
(there I changed it now Frenchfry get of my back)
-
Stefan woke up after about a few minutes. He was hungry. He checked his bag for his desert rations, only to find he'd eaten them all. But... didn't he give one to Deccers? Getting out of bed, he left his room to go bother Deccers for the gift he'd given him earlier.
Once in the hall, however, he noticed something odd. It was lights out. Why was there a yellow glow coming from underneath one of the doors? Oh, that's right. Rex. Apparently his idea wasn't doomed to fail, after all.
Pushing the door open, Stefan announced to the crowd within, "Give me food or give me death. And since none of you are capable of killing me, give me food."
-
With his question going unanswered, Dakentio decided to get some shut eye. He usually wakes up afterwrds because of the thought that his wife will be killed.
-
Renegade rolled his eyes and threw some rations to Stefan (renegade always had some rations in his pocket just in case)
-
Stefan would normally have caught anything thrown to him. In this particular situation, however, he deemed it more appropriate to stand perfectly unmoving as the circular tin bounced off his chest, falling to the ground. Russian rations. Russian rations are disgusting.
After a moment of staring at the Brat with an extremely dull expression, he picked up the tin, popping the top off and grabbing what could probably be considered a chicken wing from it.
"So," He said, his mouth full of slightly-better-than-the-usual-disgusting-Russian-rations chicken, "What's the plan?"
-
The meeting went well, every one knew the plan, in one months time I would be on the streets.
I woke up and went to the Mess Hall to get some grub, and told my men to do the same. This was going to be a long day...
-
Kain walked to the mess hall in the morning. He had forgotten about Demos disassembling the gun and taking the chip out. He remembered after he was done eating, and he went back to his bed and disassembled his pistol, and found the chip. He had a harder time finding it in his rifle. He never even touched his sniper. He waited for the match to start after he disassembled the gun. He wasn't going to use his sword anymore, unless he wasn't using one of his guns.
-
Demos woke up and got breakfast, his normal routine. Except this time, there were more guards than usual..
Damn it, Rex!
It would be harder to get out now, but they would do it.
-
These punks ass guards were pissing me off. I stood up and went to my training room. No need to get into trouble...
-
there where more guards than ever renegade wondered why. he couldn't figure it out so he went where he usually did to think the air ducks (its the only place that there's no guards) when he got there he thought of something he checked a map of the omnicide buildings he then found the shifts of the guards and found there's not a single security robot or human or device in the air ducks he could escape! all he needed to do is figure out when to go and what to do after he got out
-
Crimson had gone to bed after the meeting. When he woke up the next day he got some breakfast at the mess hall, Huh, there seem to be more guards than normal, and went to the training room.
-
Crimson walked into the room while I was getting on my armor.
Hey, when we go into the game today, get to the top of the building, and make sure to check before you go around corners...
-
Sure. Crimson then remembered that the fight was ina an apartment complex. He ran back to his room and grabbed that P90 again. He went to the firing range to practice with it. He did okay, but he didn't get any bullseyes.
-
My sword was all i was going to need. the close quarters would make it deadly... I sat the entire morning sharpening my sword, knives, Shurikens, and my K-Bar.
-
Crimson was walking out of the firing range when something hit the gun. Some retard was playing around witha sword in the halls and slash his gun. It was completely busted. Crimson turned to the inconsiderate asshole with the sword, What the Hell! Crimson threw the gun down and stormed away.
-
renegade then started going threw a vent but he was wrong there were guards up there he got caught and was thrown back into the training room he then started practicing with his knifes in close combat
-
Crimson went back to his room, searching through his weapons. He didn't have time to get used to another gun. He then pulled out this triple-bladed claw thing. He wasn't exactly sure what they were, but he liked them and were really good with them. These will do just fine. He then equipt himself with his kunai, shuriken, and pistol as well. He then went to the training room and started shredding the dummies with his claws.
-
"Don't you have anywhere else to be, kid?"
"C'mon, I know he's compensating for SOMETHING. Is he a midget? Got a distinct lack of muscle tone? Maybe he's got a huge boil on his face that no cream will get rid of?"
"I don't know, I never met the guy! Now go do something else!
Security had just about doubled, which suited Stefan just fine. He was having plenty of fun bothering the guards.
...It WAS a bit troubling, though. He wasn't an outstandingly good marksman, and these guys were all armed to the teeth. When he made his escape attempt, he would have a hard time getting past more than one or two of these guards.
-
When Dakentio woke up, he seen that there has been an increase in the guards. All were pretty much armed, but they looked like they could handle a regular swordsman easily, which he wasn't. He decided to go to the training room to train his special skills, but seen that two people were already in here: one with claw weapons and another with knives.
What teams can I go to for this game, you two?
-
There was a voice behind Crimson, asking a question. Crimson responded, If it's a team you need, then you should join Team Rex, but you'll have to ask our leader first.
-
So who is your new friend Crimson?
I looked at this new kid, I wondered if he had any experience...
-
I'm not sure who he is. He walked in asking about teams.
-
ok, I'll help. In team Rex you are more likly to make through the end of the week, but you WILL do what I say, when I say. Team Nova is the next best, but they lose around 2 people a week. Team Luna, they are full of noobs and need new guys every week, about 3. Team Flare, they make up the last of the people lost. Make up your mind...
-
Night had come. Still hiding in the lockers I waited untill two night guards had passed, where I slipped out silently doing my best to avoid attracting any attention.
I was getting outta here.
Sticking too the shadows I crept along passing the elimination room. All the lights were turned off.
Nice and dark. Just the way I liked it.
Approaching the chemical lab I unsheathed my knife and attempted to pick the lock. Unfortunatly that didnt work. I tried again. But the lock was too strong.
I stared closely at the lock. It was made from iron. I grinned as a genius idea shot into my head.
I drew my knife once more drawing an equation out on the wall
Iron + Air + Water ------> Hydrated Iron oxide.
I had my Iron. I had my Air. But where the hell was I going to get my water? This would require me sneaking back once a night to douse the lock in water .
It would take a mere week before the lock rusted up and I would be able to break in. It was genius. But where the hell could I find enough water to soak the lock every night.
I silently returned to my quarters. My mind vigourously ticking away thinking of idea's.
-
Deccers rolled out of bed after waking. He began his new training regime: 50 situps on the rug next to his bed; a 2k run through the halls and 50 pressups to finish. Sure, he wasn't going to win any marathons, but being even slightly fitter than your opponent was a huge advantage in close quarters combat. After sweat had formed a thin sheen on his body, he headed towards the shower room, once again kissing the coin around his neck.
Before breakfast, he bombed up his magazines, and checked the cocking mechanism on his gun was oiled correctly. As he picked it up, a note fell out.
'That's interesting, But who would want to help me? I've not exactly done anyone any favours around here. I wish I could ask him how he did it. I wouldn't mind my rifle and pistol being altered too.'
-
((Rex, Team Rex is best, Team Luna is second, Team Nova is third, and Team Flare is worst))
Kain noticed that there were more guards. He couldn't figure out why. Unless someone told them that everyone at Rex's meeting was going to escape. Kain sat on his bed, waiting for the match to start.
-
Running out of guards to annoy, Stefan went back to his room for a moment, closing the door and sitting directly under the security camera, hidden from its view. Procuring his Single Action Army, he started dismantling it, until all 49 parts were out in front of him, the weapon no longer resembling anything useful.
...Wait, what? Forty nine? A 3rd gen Single Action Army only has forty eight parts. That little green rectangle shouldn't be there. Quietly, he slipped the extra part into his pocket, putting the weapon back together.
-
30 minutes until the match.
I told my men to go eat.
Make up your mind fast, or you could go rouge like Eclipse. I left and went back to the mess hall...
-
Moving to the mess hall, Stefan enjoyed the privileges of being one of the top fighters: Ice in his drinks and fresh straws. As he was removing the wrapper of his straw, he thought of a new way to annoy Rex and the guards at the same time, as well as put his time as a freshman to good use.
Wadding up a good-sized spitball, Stefan stood behind Rex and shot it right into the ear of an unobservant guard, before putting the straw in Rex's hand and sitting down, facing the opposite direction.
"Hey, brat, you think you can do what you want just 'cause your team's at the top of the charts? I'm authorized to shoot and burn your goddamn corpse!"
-
One problem, your boss won't like seeing one of the largest names dying out side of the field. If I die your boss will cut your balls off and feed them to your kids. Do you know why? Here let me tell you something, I bring in 20% of your views.
I threw the straw at the guard and turned around. I could see Stefan laughing. Ass hole. I walked up to him and sat down.
Nice joke.
-
Stefan stood and bowed slightly. Hijinx are an art form.
"Freshman year taught me one thing, and that's how to hit a target from fifty feet away with a wet ball of paper through a straw."
-
Ha, but it wont help you win a close quarters fight against a swords man. Let me give you some advice, give that "girl friend" of yours the token I gave you, and make sure you can see it just looking at her. K? Oh, and don't just go busting into rooms, you might run into Eclipse...
I got up and went back to my tray and started eating.
25 minutes until the match.
-
Noting that Rex still felt superior, Stefan sat down and attacked his pizza.
-
Deccers cammed up, breaking up the shape of his face and reducing shine. From the armoury he armed himself with flash and smokes. Surprise would be crucial in this setting. After all his pre-battle preparation was completed, he finally got down to some breakfast.
Wheatabix with 3 sugars went down a treat. Once again Rex and Stefan were arguing in the mess hall.
-
Dakentio thought about it. he thought that being on the best team would help him find his woman. He walked into the mess hall and seen the man named Rex he sat at the table, where there was another guy sitting there already.
Rex, you have another ally. Not only was I a soilder who still believes in orders, I am the best Swordsman here. Dual Swordsman, actually.
-
Good to have you aboard. Here wear this, that way my men know you.
I thew the new kid and RGA Token.
Make sure it is in plain site.Whats your name kid?
-
Crimson got a bowl assorted fruit and sat down near Rex. The perso from before was asking to join the team.
-
Dakentio. Dakentio Raisuken.
-
Good to meet you. When the game starts get to the top floor as fast as you can. That is how we handle this game. Eat it is going to be a long match.
-
Finishing his food, Stefan got up and left the cafeteria. Rex was recruiting more lackeys. He went to the gym and found a good-sized punching bag, and began the training drills he'd been neglecting since he got thrown into Omnicide.
Punch, punch, kick. Punch, punch, kick. Punch, punch...
By the time he had to pause from the pain in his knuckles, a good-sized crowd of people had stopped to watch him. Why? It was just a standard drill.
Looking around the room, he saw several swords leaning against equipment and the walls. That explained it. Swordsmen. Not used to seeing anyone use their hands for a fight. To them, what he'd just done was hardcore. As if to punctuate that, the bag tore itself off the ceiling, taking its chain and a good sized chunk of plaster with it.
"...Huh. Must've had a shoddy installation job. Didn't even have steel reinforcements."
-
15 minutes until the match.
Lets get ready. I got up and left. My men were in the launch room waiting for me.
-
Pushing past the crowd, Stefan took his place at the arena entrance. Finding Astrid, he handed her Rex's token, then left. Today, she'd be on her own.
-
Demos didn't want to fight today. He wanted to get out.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow I will do it.
Tomorrow we will do it.
He got the wrist knives. His main weapon here would be his sight and hearing. Knives were only for efficiency. Donning his usual green mottled jacket, he sat on his bed, thinking about how they would even manage to get out.
Silence.
Suppresors.
Get out before they know we started.
10 more minutes.
Demos couldn't stop thinking about it. Every second his was jumpy. His body was unstable. He needed to get out.
Why?
It's not so bad here. As long as I keep winning.
Aria.
She's alive.
Dammit! How do I know!
She's part of me.
9 minutes.
Focus on this match, now.
Hard to focus when I can't stop arguing with myself.
Focus!
God dammit! I'm trying! Aria won't go away!
She never will!
I"m on my own now, though.
No. She'll never leave.
She's gone!
Not until I die.
8 minutes.
Relax.
I'll get out.
We'll get out...
We'll get out tomorrow.
Damn Rex. Just made things harder.
All things happen for a reason.
Not everything.
Sometimes people just f**k things up.
-
Dakentio finished eating. As he walked to the entrence, He seen that girl before having the coin. He neverminded her, and put his hands on both of his swords.
-
Apartments were small. That was bad for Stefan. It meant he couldn't deliver many kicks, which were probably the most powerful weapon in his arsenal. As per his usual routine for shrugging off stress, he started quietly reciting the Waffle song.
"Waffles, Belgian or potato. Look in front of you now. Do you have a waffle? Wouldn't you be happier if you did?"
A few guys from Flare were muttering behind him. Probably thought he was insane. Ignoring them, he carried on.
"I'm talking waffles. Belgian or potato. All kinds taste great, oh yes they do, 'cause they are waffles: Invented by Gandhi, why not keep several handy? For moments when you need waffles, wiffle waffle waffle wiffle waffles."
-
The scenery suddenly changed, Deccers was in the bedroom of an abandoned flat. Old, ripped wallpaper covered the walls and most of the furniture was either rotting or mouldy. The place stank of death and decay. Stock firmly in his shoulder, he checked the corners of the appartment. A dark silhouette stood in the kitchen, looking out the window. Deccers lined up the sights with the figure's head.
The man began to turn round. Deccers had to make a split second desicion.
Shoot, or not to shoot. This guy could be on my team.
He made a comprimise.
'On your knees, or you're dead!'
-
The doors opened and I was in an old apartment. I would say it had been condemned for a reason...
Quick to the top!
I started to run up the stars and one of them fell our under my weight. I could use this latter...
-
Stefan spawned roughly six inches above the top step of a staircase, which he subsequently fell onto and rolled painfully down the stairs.
-
Demos heard something.. He stayed still.
10 seconds until it reaches me.
5
3
2
1..
Stab!
Demos turned, knives aimed for where the head would be, but stopped when he saw Stefan.
"Hello there, mate. Have you improved your gun?"
-
I saw Stefan fall down the stars then I heard w"Hello there, mate.
"Have you improved your gun?"ho I thought to be Demos."
There are only 2 we can take them get in position. I grabbed a soda can and threw it at Stefan's head...
-
Seeing Demos stab the air roughly where his head *should* be, had he not been sprawled along the floor, Stefan stood up and brushed the dirt off his fatigues.
"Oh, yeah. There was a part jammed in there that wasn't from the Single Action Army's set. Looked like a .45 make or something. I put it in Rex's last drink to dispose of it."
There were cameras on them. He also suspected the chips had trackers on them, so if they thought he trashed the spare piece, they might be thrown off by the fact that he'd kept the chip in his pocket.
Stefan's train of thought was interrupted by a soda can hitting him in the base of his neck. Instinctively, he turned around and lashed out with a roundhouse kick, hitting a door. A jolt of pain was sent through his shin as the door cracked and split in half.
-
It's Stefan, flank them. Use the shadows...
I stepped form where I had been hiding. I had to give my men a chance to get ready.
Sorry about that, thought you were some one else... Do you know where any one else is?
-
"Good, I though your gun was a bit off."
Demos had heard Rex. His instincts had never turned off. He turned down the hallway, and pulling out his P226, aimed it at one of Rex's men. Demos dove through the door Stefan had cracked after firing 2 shots at the man's chest.
-
Crimson appeared in an arpantment. It reeked of mold and beer. Wait... Beer? Crimson saw a fridge in the kitchen and opened it. Inside were some rotting fruit, a bottle of ketchup, and six bottles of beer in a cardboard case. He raised an eyebrow. Crimson then ran out of the arpartment with the case of bottles. He got as high as he could and then took one bottle in his right hand. He then chucked it at a team Flare member going up a pararllel set of stairs. The bottle hit him in the head and he fell 4 stories to the ground and disapeared to the infirmary on contact with the concrete. Crimson then grasped another bottle and waited for someone else to come.
-
Kain spawned in a bedroom. The room smelled like a rotting body. He quietly walked out of the room. He noticed someone near a doorway. He sneaked up behind the man and grabbed him, putting his hand over his mouth so that he couldn't yell. Kain stabbed him with his knife, and the man teleported. Kain walked out of the room, and walked up the stairs. They creaked loudly. He couldn't sneak up the stairs, so he just walked up to the next floor. No one was there. Most of the people were probably watching out windows. Kain walked into a room with barely any furniture. He walked over to a fire escape. He started going up the stairs. After he went up two floors, the stairs were missing. He found a few footholds and climbed through a window. He walked out of the room, and heard someone talking. Then he heard to shots, and ran out into the hall, where he saw Demos, Stefan, and Rex.
-
Now why did you have to do that? Now I have to get 26 kills to win! I am just trying to get to the top floor that way I don't get surrounded, and you 2 were in my way. Uh... Men break, head for the Top floor and secure it. BE CAREFUL! We can't afford another death this early...
My men stepped out of the shadow and ran up the stairs...
So, where were we?
-
renegade spawned near the top he then heard a guy hit the ground and thought "well i need to be careful" he then went down the stairs and saw stefan and demos talking he also saw kain and renegade started shooting at kain and threw 2 knives at demos and stefan
-
Two bullets hit the wall near Kain's head. He looked at the stairs and saw Renegade. Kain fired to shots at Renegade with his pistol.
-
renegade looked behind him and then threw 3knives at kain and renegaade also shot a few rounds at demos and stefan
-
Demos tucked his head into the room just in time to dodge a knife thrown by Renegade. He hoped Stefan had fared better. Demos then left the room. Cutting across the hallway into the opposite one. He hoped he could find something useful in here. He looked in the bathroom. Luckily there was a bottle of baby powder sitting on the shelf. He took it. It was about half filled. Demos went to the window. There was a ledge, hardly big enough to walk on, but another above it that looked as though he could reach it. Demos kicked the window out, which broke fairly easily, and climbed out of the building, looking down at the street below. As he edged his way forward, he noticed a fire escape. He could use that to reach the top where team Rex would be.
I should tell Stefan..
We could do more together.
"Stefan!" Demos whispered harshly.
"This way"
-
renegade saw demos and leave and threw 1 more knife at stefan he then started shooting at kain
-
The man was Robbo.
'See, you're a nice guy. I knew you wouldn't shoot me.'
'Yeah well, I may need you later.'
With that, Deccers left the appartment, moving quickly. He sweeped the hallway,making sure it was clear. After walking past a few doors, he heard the sound of running water from number 1107. He kicked the door open, the last screws holding it upright ripped from the wood. A startled guy jumped up from the sofa. Deccers squeezed the trigger. The third round of the burst passed straight through him as he returned to the infirmary.
A bluring figure burst into the living room, Deccers dropped to one knee to avoid a mad slash with an axe. He pulled the barrel of the gun up, firing at point blank range.
-
Just great!
I ran into the room Renegade was in and did a flying jump kick into him. He went flying out the window and out of bounds, giving me a kill... I looked in a dark corner and saw a person hiding.
How are you Kain?
((this game has re-spawns...))
-
Kain backed into the room he had just came from. Three knives hit the wall. Kain heard Demos break a window. Kain followed him out onto the fire escape. Kain jumped and grabbed the ledge. He reached out with his left arm and grabbed the other ledge, and then grabbed on with his other arm. He went around the corner and climbed through the window. Now he was one floor above Renegade.
-
More members of team rex starting joining Crimson at the top floor. A large man who was from Luna ascended up the stairwell towards me. I threw the bottle at him. It hit his chest and completely exploded into shard, the man, however, appeared unaffected. Crimson then jumper into the air, and hit his face with his knee. The man was sent tumbling down the stairs and disapperead.
-
The person came out of the corner and it turned out to be Stefan's girl friend.
Oh, sorry. Here let me help you up. Do you have that token?
She nodded.
Good, go up to the top floor that is the best place to get kills and not get killed.
I ran off to regroup with my men. They were fighting with team Luna for control of the floor. We were winning. Team Luna eventually fell back and we set up the 50 cal guns we had to hold the top floor...
-
renegade got re-spawned onto the 1st floor and ran up the stairs and sawa team rex member and snuck up behind the guy and shoved a knife into his back and then kicked the guy out a window renegade found the guy hit the ground and was unreported to the infirmary
-
(( meowth i am behind 2 50 cal guns...http://www.eme421.com/m63.html))
-
Stefan followed Demos, avoiding gunfire and shuriken the Micheal Jackson-esque style of moonwalking, since allegedly you are untouchable while doing so.
-
Dakentio was at the top with the others against Luna. A Luna Soilder tried to stab him in the heart. He barely dodged and stabbed the man instead but he didn't die.
Blast Thrust.
The man was blasted off the apartment. He looked at the others fight.
23 to go.
-
It was time to try out my new weapon. Snipers were not suitable for thies game. I drew my Splicers (Nunchucks with small blades on the end) and charged across to the heat of the battle.
I spotted 2 people heading cutting around the apartment. Charging towards them I leapt on top of a table launching myself towards them. Landing behind them I rolled.
It was Stefan and Demos. If I was ever going to escape then I would need both of them. I took a fighting stance, incase they didnt feel the same way.
-
Deccers made his way from appartment to appartment, jumping across balconies so as to avoid the corridors. As an added bonus, people didn't seem to expect an attack from outside. Dark clouds covered the sun and fat, thick raindrops began to fall, plastering his hair against his skull.
Maybe coming outside wasn't such a great idea after all...
He fired a couple of rounds into the large sliding door, obliterating the glass. He gingerly stepped into the living room, trying not to cut himself. Sounds of gunfire and fighting came from a couple of floors up. Thinking about it, he'd yet to come accross any members of Team Rex.
He snapped his gun to his shoulder as a couple of guys stumbled in from the corridor. A couple of squeezes of the trigger and they were gone, unfortunately a large gash was seeping blood from his right thigh.
-
renegade climbed up to the room below the top and started killing any one he saw he found a luna guy he threw a knife it the guy in the head and he was teleported to the infermary renegade then shot a rex guy right between the eyes he got teleported. he found a flare kicked him in the nuts the guy got teleported to the infermary he then found a line of team flares and he ran and sliced them all in the chest they to got teleported .
-
(What? I dont understand.^^)
-
Some brave Flares ran up the stars only to be meet by a hail of 50 cal. bullets. The fell back very quickly, I told my men to finish them off... i was guessing we had 5 kills...
-
Demos saw somebody come flying down from the fire escape, and decided it wasn't the best idea. He wasn't sure what he was going to do, but then heard Eclipse behind them.
Thank god, something else.
Demos climbed back into the room.
"You're outmatched. I wouldn't bother fighting. Want to help us kill Team Rex?"
-
Stefan looked between Eclipse and Demos. Then at the window, where the sound of gunfire and the falling body had come from. Must've been a big gun.
Stefan climbed onto the fire escape.
"See ya later, guys. I'm gonna see what I can do about whatever's going on up there."
-
Cover the F*king windows! We can hold the stairs but we cant hold the windows if no on is there! 2 per window!
My men were so stupid! They had put every thing into the stairs now we had to worry about people getting in though the windows...
-
Stefan climbed to the top floor on the fire escape, then pressed his back to the wall by the window. Two of Rex's team were standing guard with what appeared to be over-under double barrel shotguns.
Unsheathing his knife and unholstering his revolver, Stefan barreled through the window, stabbing the further guard in the throat while firing a round into the other's chest from roughly three inches away. Rolling into a standing position, Stefan noticed Rex and his huge-ass mounted machine guns, and dove into the nearest room. The walls wouldn't stop the bullets, but they would hide his exact location long enough for him to acknowledge the fact that he'd just jumped into glass, and now had several cuts along his face.
-
There!
I heard the gun shot and saw some one run into a room. one of my gunners started pelting the room with bullets. When he was done I stood up.
You five, take a flash bang and clear the room.
They went to the door, 3 on the right 2 on the left, one threw in a flash bang. It went off and they stormed in...
-
Stefan was blinded. By the light. Even in the substantial amount of discomfort he was in, the link between his situation and the song made him chuckle.
On a whim, he threw a punch out level with his head. He hit flesh. He threw another, a little more to the left. He hit the wall. Ouch. He felt wall crumbled at the impact of his fist.
Pulling his hand back, Stefan dove to where he remembered the door being. He crashed into someone on the way, but he was out, just as his hearing started returning. Still pretty much blind, though.
-
The man jumped out of the room and my gunners opened fire on him...
-
Stefan knew what was coming next
"Incoming."
He muttered the word moments before He was shot full of led from three different directions Ten seconds later, he spawned again on the first floor. At least now, however, he knew what he was doing.
-
I leapt off Stefan's shoulder propelling myself into the air, landing upon a poor bastard breaching the room. I slit his Juggula vein, before taking stance with my splicers preparing to fight more oncoming soldiers.
-
Great now we only had 4 kills... We cant let that happen again.
Put one of the guns next to the window. One is enough to keep the stairs ours.
Eclipse fell through the roof. my gunners aimed their guns at him and opened fire...
-
This time around, Stefan decided to try the stairs, instead. There were five floors he had to make it through to get there. Unholstering his Colt, he began the trek back to the top floor.
-
The gunner in the stairs turned at the sound of some one running up them, it was Stefan. He opened fire....
-
More people with guns. Stefan missed the days when having a gun in Omnicide was unique.
Fortunately, this fellow had clearly never fired a gun before. All thirty shots from his assault rifle sprayed either to Stefan's left or right.
Slowly, he looked down at himself, scanning his body for wounds. Seeing none, he returned his attention to the sentry, raised an eyebrow, and planted a round from his revolver right between the sucker's eyes.
-
Deccers limped up the stairs, he'd bandaged his leg with a strip ripped from duck patterned curtains. Gritting his teeth, he'd managed another floor. By the sounds of it, Team Rex had some heavy stuff set up upstairs. Two men came rushing down, not checking to see if anybody was in their way. Calmly, he stepped out into the open and put a bullet between their eyes. The mag was empty, he replaced it with a fesh one.
60 rounds until I'm out.
He carried on, slowly making his way upwards.
-
Damn this was going to be a long game. Maybe I should go nuts? I told my men to hold this floor at any cost. I grabbed my sword and headed down stairs to rack up some kills. When I was out of the range of my guns I jumped down to avoid any one on the stairs... I went room to room looking for a good place to hide. I found a dark room with lots of places to hide. I climbed into a crack in the roof and waited...
-
Crimson was bored standing around with all the guns. He crawled out the window and onto a balcony. From there he continued to go lower. In the corner of his eye he saw someone creeping up behind him with a blade of some sort. Crimson quickly turned around and gutted him. He disappeared. He wiped the blood off his claws and went inside an apartment.
-
It wasn't long before some one came in the room. He walked around looking for some one to kill. Not to day. He walked under me, I reached down, grabbed him and broke his neck before he could let out a scream...
-
Demos watched Eclipse kill somebody, and snapped back to reality. He had to get Rex's guns down. If he could do that, then Team Rex might be easily defeated. Or he would be torn apart by 50 caliber rounds. He prefered the first option. Demos decided to go up the fire escape like Stefan did. Hopefully he could avoid detection.
-
Stefan took his time walking up the stairs, taking advantage of the momentary silence to build suspense. Each step he took was exceptionally loud. When he finally reached the top, he let his wrist slack, causing his Colt to turn slightly downward. He turned to face Rex's group. Rex was missing.
"...Oh, dear, gentlemen. It seems you've been infiltrated."
A gunfight ensued. Or what would have been a gunfight if these people had ever aimed a firearm before. Stefan took out a good three of them before the remainder tossed down their guns and took up the swords they actually knew how to use. Stefan holstered his revolver and moved into his Muay Thai stance.
-
I could hear shots comming from the top of the stairs. Then every thing went silent. I drooped from my spot and landed on a person. It was Stefan's girl. I looked and decided not to kill her. I shut the door tight so that no one could get in and went up the stairs... Stefan had killed 3 of my men. Unacceptable, I snuck up on him and put my gun to the back of his neck....
Give me one reason not to kill you.
-
Crimson moved silently in the shadows, almost impossible to see with his black clothing. he came upon an unsuspecting, unalert swords man from team Nova. Crimson stabbed him the throat. Neither Crimson or the guy he just killed made a sound. Crimson then walked on.
-
Demos was climbing up the fire escape when he looked through the window and saw several members of Team Rex, including Rex himself. Rex appeared to be holding somebody, but he was hidden by the door to the stairs. As he moved forward slightly, Demos could make out a revolver.
Stefan...
Something compelled him to save him. Demos shot through the window, and fired a few rounds into the back-most Rex member. He fell, paralyzed, but not dead. Demos had his knives in the second's throat by the time the other hit the ground.
1 more.
The final man had his sword over his head, about to make a downward stroke on Demos. He dove and rolled to the right, but not before obtaining a deep gash in his left thigh. He tried to get up, but could only drag himself away. Instinctively he pulled out his pistol, ready to shoot.
-
Something about the barrel of a gun to your head is unique. Barrels like the one of the Makarov he'd given to Rex, and heads like Stefan's.
"You know, Rex, it's funny, really. Nobody's ever made a shot at this range with a gun before. Something always comes up."
Assuming Rex had a plan to pull the trigger, Stefan ducked under the gun, turning around and throwing a high kick on the hand Rex was holding it in.
-
I knew that Stefan would do something so I had my K-Bar in my other hand. When he kicked my hand I rolled on the ground and brought my knife up into his chest. I stood up holding my hand.
That hurt you son of a b*tch! I knew you would do something. I wish I had know you would aim for my arm.
I drew my sword and loped off his head.
-
Stefan respawned at the bottom floor, now only slightly miffed. Two deaths in one match? He's supposed to be in the top ten! He sprinted up the five stories to the top floor, Firing his colt into the air as he reached the top.
"No! You do NOT use three weapons at once on Stefan Cadogan and get off scott-free!"
-
SOB! Take cover! Yo Ass Hole! Your girlfriend is on the first floor. She is lights out. Do you think that you could beat me to her?
I shot a look at the men on the other side of the room.
Get ready, cover me when I run, that is what the look said...
-
Stefan aimed his Colt at Rex's torso.
"I'm not like you, Rex. I won't miss a target at this range. Not even a moving one. You keep Astrid out of this or you'll be an a lot of pain before I let you poof back to the first floor."
-
You seem to forget about the windows! NOW!!
15 men came out and started shooting at Stefan. Two of them got to the 50 cals and started shooting up were he was standing. I darted to the the window and jumped. I landed on one of the fire escape ladders. Now I had to get down 3 floors before Stefan did...
-
Stefan's immediate reaction to the platoon of men attacking him?
...Balls.
Immediately, he dove for the nearest window. Fortunately, this one was open. He crashed into the railing of the fire escape on the other side, which caused it to come loose.
Regaining his balance, Stefan started jumping down the levels of the fire escape as its bolts were pulled from the building. Each jump threatened to either flatten his face against the wall or throw him off the apartment. As he reached the bottom floor, he noted something unconsciously. the 'bottom floor' wasn't the ground floor. They were fifty stories off the ground. Then the more pressing matter of the entire fire escape falling off presented itself. He grabbed handle of the door to inside,gravity pulling the handle down and the door open as the metal staircase plummeted down. He swung himself in to the first floor.
-
I jumped through the first floor window just in time to see Stefan open the door. I hid in the shadow and called to him.
Hey! over here!
-
Stefan heard Rex's voice, and fired three colt rounds in the source's direction.
He stepped away from the door. Didn't want to be thrown out of it.
-
Stefan fired three shots at where I was.
You missed! How many bullets dose that gun have left in it?
I was stalling for time, I needed him to get closer...
-
Stefan counted the shots he'd made since he respawned. Six rounds, minus the four he fired. Two shots left.
"I'm out. Now come out and fight like a man, Rex. Your fans are watching."
-
I am not stupid! Here is the key to the room your girl fiend is in!
I threw a flash bang at him...
-
Having not enjoyed his last experience with flash grenades, Stefan turned around, covered his ears, and closed his single eye. As he heard the muffled crack of the grenade exploding, He turned back around.
"Listen, Rex, I don't care about the key. I could bust one of these doors down without even bruising my knuckles. I'm going to kill you and get her out of there, with or without the aforementioned key."
-
FYI I could have killed her when I accidentally landed on her head. But, NO! I have honor! She had the toke I gave you, so I no kill!
I found a piece of wall that had fallen down, I picked it up and hucked it at Stefan's head...
-
This time Stefan was exactly where the projectile had come from. He even saw the hand that threw it, momentarily.
He fired one round at Rex.
-
Dakentio waited for some one o take action after Rex fell to the bottom floor.
Hmph. With these men at the windows with guns, I can only moniter... and that sucks.
-
The bullet went straight through my head. I spawned on the 2ed floor. Ass Hole...
-
Lots of shouting came from the floor above Deccers. He could make out the distinctive voices of Stefan and Rex.
Inexperienced soldiers. You should never let emotions get the better of you.
Of course, he'd not always followed this rule, but he wasn't about to admit it to himself. Stopping his ascent, he considered his options. The stairs were a no, no. They'd most certainly be covered with some heavy gear. The windows too would probably be too dangerous, Rex wasn't that stupid.
That leaves the roof. Fingers crossed he won't have thought about an enemy from above.
-
I met my men on the top floor and told them to make sure no one got on to this floor. As I said it the roof started to drop dust...
Make sure no one is alone. teams of two.
I looked the roof for weak spots, I found more then I could count. Great...
-
Luckily for Deccers, everybody needed to breathe. He used the butt of his rifle to smash open an air vent on the roof. Unfortunately, he was about 3 times too large to fit through. On the other hand, a grenade would suffer no such problem. After pulling the pin he waited for a count of 3 before dropping the phosporus grenade down the chute, secure in the knowlege that chaos would ensue.
The last of his energy spent, he lay on his back waiting for somebody to come.
-
Grenade...
-
Kain went up the steps to the top floor. He saw the guns that Team Rex had at the top and quickly ran into a room. He smashed a window and climbed up the side of the building. He was behind Team Rex now. Kain sneaked up behind one of them and stabbed him with his spear. Then a phosporus grenade hit the ground next to him. He started running, trying to get to the fourth floor.
-
Fierce Phantom Fang...
Dakentio made a front-arc, shockwave-like Phantom Fang towards the grenade to prevent any deaths from Rex's men. The grenade won over, but its knockback was dramatically lowered. That prevented anyone from falling off.
-
There was an explosion up above, where the rest of team Rex was. A grenade or somethng must have gone off. Crimson searched for someone to kill, staying within the shadows.
-
((Read this Black (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m15.htm)))
Kain had just reached the bottom floor when the grenade released the phosphorus. He continued going down to lower floors. He stopped on the second floor, and waited until it would be safe to go back up.
-
Befor he realized it, Dakentio decingrated and was back to the bottom floor. At least that ment he could finally get som action.
-
Rearm the guns! MOVE!
That grenade had killed 6 of my men. Son of a B*tch! this was going to take a while..
-
6 more men were behind me.
Get to the top floor as quickly as you can. I'm going to get some kills.
When Reached the room with the stairs. the guy just killed Rex.
I used two more Phantom fangs at him, and quickly ran into hiding, telling the men to hold their position.
-
((Who killed Rex?))
Kain followed the men from Team Rex up the stairs. He hid in a room before anyone noticed him. He climbed out the window and onto the roof where he saw someone lying on their back. Kain walked over to him.
"What happened to you?"
-
Renegade looked where the guys he had just killed were saw hologram units he then felt a pain in his chest and said said "crap..." as he looked down and saw a sword sticking out of his chest.
((better?.))
-
(good, but you don't have to die every other post, just get hurt.)
I was looking for where the next attack would come from when I heard the loud speaker click on.
Good Game every one. Team Nova has gotten 25 kills the game is now over.
I saw a flash of light and I was in the Ifermery. At least I had killed Stefan twice last game.
-
The game was over. Nova won. Dakentio was mad at himself because his score came out even. He decided to go to the mess hall and think about his girl as he looked at the picture.
-
"Good game everyone. Team Nova has gotten 25 kills and the game is now over."
Kain teleported to the infirmary. Right after he teleported, he went to the mess hall for something to eat. When he was done, he went to the shooting range and practiced his accuracy. He improved a little bit. When he was done he went to Rex' training room.
There are even more guards. I hope they're gone by the time we escape, otherwise escaping will be a lot harder.
-
Kain walked into my Training Room.
What are you doing here?
-
"I actually don't know. I was thinking about the guards and walked in here without realizing it."
-
Good, now get lost!
I pushed Kain out of my training room and put a note in his pocket.
Dear reader, If you are reading this, it means that our, well my, plan has come across a hitch. Meeting tonight. Don't miss it.
-
Kain walked back to his bed, and read the note.
'Dear reader, if you are reading this, it means that our, well my, plan has come across a hitch. Meeting tonight. Don't miss it.'
-
Deccers smiled in the guy's face as he was teleported back to the infirmary.
Looks like that grenade won us the match.
He glanced up to the scoreboard. He'd also beaten Robbo to the highest ranking player on Team Nova.
-
After the match ended, Stefan headed back to his room, examining his Colt. Someone had messed with his gun. They'd messed with a Colt - and a Peacemaker, no less.
The nerve of some people.
-
I walked past Stefan and pushed a note in his pocket. No mater much I hated that guy he would make a good friend on break out night, so I was going to keep him close to me.
-
'Dear reader, if you are reading this, it means that our, well my, plan has come across a hitch. Meeting tonight. Don't miss it.'
What a genius Rex was. The last meeting caused a problem, so he's calling another?
-
Demos went to the armory and found a suppressor that fit on his P226. After firing a few rounds to make sure it worked, he found Stefan.
"What's going on tonight?" Demos winked.
"Oh, by the way, I found a suppressor for my gun. It should help my strategy."
-
A wild Demos appeared. Stefan handed him the note, loading up his Colt with Total Metal Jacket rounds.
"Might mess things up if we wait. What now?"
-
I doused the lock for the 21st time.
Every night I had snuck up to the chemical lab, attempting to rust the lock.
It looked like it was ready.
Stepping back I took a kick and the door burst open. Grinning to myself smuggly at my final sucess. It had taken 3 weeks for the rock to rust. Thank god I remembered my chemistry.
Wiggling my way through the chemical shelves I cam across the chemical Francium.This was going to br intreasting. Francium on contact with water was enough to blow up a small building.
I pocketed the jar, before continuing my search.
As I found my way around the corner I found a large box named HSPSO4.
I held my breath. This was about to get intreasting.
-
The game was over. Nova had won. Crimson went to the mess hall, ate a pitiful excuss for food, and then went to the team Rex training room.
-
Demos kept his voice to a whisper.
"Damn, Rex is stupid. We have to tell him there's a correlation. If he holds another meeting we're all dead. Where is he?"
-
I walked down twords my training room and passed Demos on the way. I walked into the room he was in and looked at him.
What are you doing?
-
"Hiya, Rex. We're just talking about how stupid you are."
-
Nice to know you think so Stefan, but I was talking to Demos.
-
Dakentio walked down the hallway, passing Rex, Stefen, and another person with the picture in his hand.
-
Storing the Jars of HSPSO4 in my suit, I stealthily headed back to my quaters.
As I passed Rex's room it had seemed that everyone had gathered for a daily argument.
Pulling out my Jar of Francium I poured a little into a sachet before tossing it to Stefan. If anyone he would know what to do with it.
-
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Stefan."
Demos didn't even look at Rex.
"You might want to reconsider your little get-together tonight."
-
Its not me, its Eclipse. They have him on camera, every night dousing the lock with water in an attempt to escape. We can make a run for it tonight, Eclipse is planning somthing. In the confusion we can go.
I left the room to go practice with my sword...
-
Deccers noticed a gathering of all the top players. He strolled over, secure in knowledge that he was at least their equal.
'What's going down boys?'
-
Eclipse is trying to make a break for it, and is screwing my plan. They have him on camera. We can go tonight if you want out of here...
-
renegade stealthily this time hid in the air ducks over rex's training room
-
Stefan tucked the parcel from Eclipse under his fatigues.
"Say, guys, you remember that we're all in the top ten, right? As in... We're probably being broadcasted to millions of homes right now. And they can all hear this conversation."
-
No, not with this.
I pulled a scrambling bug out of my pocket.
My men snuck it in last night when they saw Eclipse. I have 10 of them. 1 for each.
I passed out the bugs and left the room
-
renegade then thought to himself "good thing i can make one myself"
-
When he walked by, he heard something moving very lightly.
Rex, you may want to check your vent.
-
I kicked the vent and Renegade fell out.
Listen kid, If you want it, ask.
I left the room and went out to get some grub.
-
renegade then said "i just wondered what everyone was doing here" then climbs back into the vent and get directly over his own bed and drops down and starts building a scrambling bug with microbots under his bed so no one could see it
-
Kain had been sitting on his bed. He took the scrambling bug. He sat back down on his bed. He decided to leave his Savage and take his L115A3. He walked to a place where no one could see him and dissasembled the gun. He found the chip and removed it. He walked back to his bed and put it in it's case. He slid it under the bed and went to get some dinner.
-
renegade finished the bug and went to the mess hall for dinner
-
Dakentio went to the Mess Hall for dinner.
-
The game tomorrow is going to be a free for all. There are no teams. It is to the last man standing. The match will be conducted in an Airport. Have Fun and Good Luck.
Joy, I sat down and ate my sewer food.
-
Crimson was hungry again. He went to the mess hall and got whatever looked parcially etible.
-
Night time had fallen. Now was my chance.
I retrieved a handfull of of Francium powder and placed it within the lock of my cell door.
Grabbing my water rations, stood well back. Things were about to get messy.
I unscrewed the top of my water bottle and threw it towards the door. As expected there was a deafining bang as the door flew off its hinges towards the opposite cell, The sheer impact of the door made Stefan's door was also torn apart.
Ambling out slowly, I emmerged from the smoke grinning to myself as I could hear cries from other quaters in shock. The alarm shreiked an ear piercing cry,
I immeadiately began to run towards the Omnicide temple. Some here were still religous. There were rumours that there was a hidden tunnel concealed behind a certain Buddhist statue.
Upon entering the room I was confronted by one of the guards. The blast obviously must have disrupted the water system because the whole room had been flooded by atleast 2 inches of water.
I took my stance readying myself to fight him.
(Imagine in this fight scene Tony Ja is Eclipse. The battle he has finishes at 4:46)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kln7JNH6_BY
-
An explosion woke me. It was Eclipse, Now was our chance.
I ran around my mens bunks waking them.
Lets go!
I grabbed my weapons and ran out the door...
-
Stefan was woken up by a massive explosion, and his door being torn apart. He rolled out of bed. Literally. fortunately, his fall was broken by a pack of ammunition.
Waking himself up the rest of the way, Stefan grabbed his Colt and plenty of ammo. Things could be getting hairy.
-
Demos heard the explosion.
Damn.
What was Rex up to?
He saw everyone running towards it.
"What the hell?"
He grabbed his gun and made his way with them. His wrist knives were always in his sleeves now.
Demos found the door that had been blown off its hinges. He happened to get there just in time to save Eclipse's ass. There were 2 guards with their rifles pointed at him.
"You can't think you were going to do this alone."
He pulled the trigger, relieved when the suppressed blast went off, and one of the guard's head flew back, followed by his body. Splash.
Demos had put 2 more bullets in the other's chest before he knew his friend was dead.
"No infirmary for them..." Demos mumbled.
"No infirmary for us." A little louder.
It dawned on him how real this was. One screw up and your gone for good.
Oh, this will be fun.
-
renegade was woken by the explosion and he grabbed his guns and knives and found rex and said "who made the explosion and are you escaping?!?"
-
Crimson heard the explosion. He grabbed his claws and ran to the source, There were so many people there.
-
A guard aimed his M60 at Stefan. Before he got around to pulling the trigger, Stefan whipped his leg out in an honest-to-god, flawless Muay Thai round house kick, connecting with the guard's temple. He collapsed, dead.
Stefan turned around, seeing Demos.
"Dude, you saw that, right? I just killed that guy with my foot."
-
The Explosion knocked Dakentio's food off the table. This was his chance. Instead of going where everyone else was going, he went to the slave bait cell. He searched the cellars and finally found his girl, and the lock was already broken. He finally found Sheene(left of my pic) unharmed. they decided to join everyone else.
-
renegade then said "oh forget this!" he then kicked a wall the air ducks came out and he climbed in and started going threw he then got hit in the hand with a few bullets he then used his other hand to shoot the guard who had shot him he then started escaping
-
Every one was running twords the explosion, I went twords where my men were waiting for me
Sir! We need to move!
Lets get the F*ck out of here!
Me and my men started moving down the air ducks until we made it outside, Now no one was in my way..
-
Stefan dropped a few guards with well-placed quickdraws on his hunt for an exit. They weren't very well trained.
suddenly, he remembered something. Something important.
Astrid!
He sprinted back to the barracks, ignoring the water pouring into the hallway.
Kicking down Astrid's door, Stefan found her sitting under her bed, gripping the 1911 he'd given her.
"Astrid... time to go."
She was shaking. A lot. All she managed was a nod. Stefan grabbed her arm and pulled her towards what he was overjoyed to find out was an exit.
-
As I streched the Spot lights went on and I was sorouned.
Put your hands in the air!
Did you bring back up?
Yes Sir.
Then where are they?
Not here yet. They are in a Helecopter...
Great! Idiots!
Drop Your weapons, NOW!
-
Stefan took roughly one step out the door before noticing Rex's men were caught. If they just made a break for the woods, most of them would probably survive. Then again, most of them didn't have fully functional weapons.
"Dammit, Rex, you better have a plan."
-
Renegade climbed out of the air duck and found himself on the wall and saw that Rex and his men had been seen renegade then said to himself "this Should help"renegade takes out his pistols and shoots out the spotlights
-
The second guard began to crawl away. I slowly approached him, grabbing his Sword off the wet floor, plunging it deep into his heart.
I checked behind the statue soon after. It was a lie. There was no tunnel, infact there wasn't anything.
I grunted angrily before heading back to the quaters. Many of the men were out confused at all the commotion. Running past them I could hear shouts from the guards at the other end of the hallway.
A sudden sting of pain hit my leg. Luckily this wasn't the first time I had been shot.
I drew my splicers. These bastards wouldn't be around for too much longer.
My Sniper still had its firing chip built in, Looks like it was time to get my hands dirty for once.
-
Demos searched the room. He found nothing but a few stray food rations, but by now they were soaked completely through. He went outside, only to find Rex's group surrounded.
Oh, come on!
I have to save Rex, now?
Demos couldn't find a way, there were too many guards. Did Rex have something planned?
-
Sheene junped up the spotlights to find that there were two guards up there. She killed them both and came back down when the lights went out.
-
After the explosion, Kain got Gungir, his dagger, his pistol, and his sniper rifle. He left his sword and Savage behind. He ran out into the hallway, and ran after Rex. But he stopped to help some other people get out. Then Eclipse ran by. Eclipse had been Kain's only friend, and Kain wasn't going to let him die. Besides, Eclipse stilled owed him for saving his *ss. Kain fired two shots at a guard. He didn't know where the first one hit, but the second one hit his head.
"You still owe me for saving you *ss Eclipse."
A few more guards ran out into the hallway. Kain stabbed one with his spear, and then pushed him off with his foot.
"How are we getting out of here?"
-
Just as the guards got down to take us into custody the helicopter arrived and opened fire on them.
I might forgive them this time. Lets go!
The helicopter landed and I got in, I told them to wait for a bit....
-
The siren woke Deccers from his deep sleep. In the vain hope that Stefan hadn't been joking, he'd slept with his body armour on. Although, he'd thought there would be a little more warning than this. Shouts and screams came from everywhere, apparently the guards had begun to open fire. A masked guard burst into the room, his rifle in his shoulder, aimed at Deccers' chest. Fast as lightning, he whipped his pistol out of its holster and pulled the trigger.
Click
Fuuuuuuuck The pistol hadn't been altered, it still wouldn't go off outside the arena.
'Nice try punk.' The guard smirked, most of the others had put up more of a fight than this. He was still smiling as a two handed swipe cut off his head.
'Looks like we're even.'
Deccers opened his eyes, Robbo stood over the body, dressed only in cargo shorts.
'Yeah, let's get out of here.'
He strapped his rifle across his back, it'd be more useful than the MP5 outside the compound if he could get it fixed. 30 seconds later he was done, he wished he'd had more time to prepare. The two of them sprinted down a corridor, heading in the same general direction as everybody else.
There was a loud crack, Robbo stumbled and fell, clutching his chest. Deccers reacted immediately, spinning round and dropping to a firing position. The guard took a round between his eyes. He crawled over to Robbo.
'Hurry... They'll shut the doors.... Soon.' He said between gasping breaths. His lung was pierced.
'I'm not going to let them do this, you saved my bloody life.'
'You... Remember... The Congo?... Your platoon... Saved my village.... We... Are... Even...
The African's face went tight with pain, and then, with a final gasp, he relaxed, smiling at something in the distance. Deccers had seen that expression before and stood up, slowly. The sounds of shooting were coming closer. He bolted for the final door, his breath rising in a mist in the cold air.
-
renegade shot a few guards on his way out he saw a helicopter and said " i hope that's not for the guards" and he then jumps down off the wall and runs to see rex eclipse and kain on it renegade then yelled "got room for another person?"
-
This wasn't going to work. I was getting out alone.
Punching Rex in the face, I unsheathed my knife with my second hand, tossing it towards a fire extinguisher near Renegade.
Amist the confusion I ran to the end of the hall way kicking down the door, leading to the Omnicide yard.
The spotlights for some reason were out. THIS was my chance. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I rolled over a dead guards body grabbing his revolver, as I did so.
Grabbing my helmet I threw it off. It was only slowing me down.
My heart was racing; my body pumping with adrenaline.
Then I felt a blinding light strike me from above. Looking up I spotted a chopper circling over head, fixed on me.
Almost immeadiately after Trucks and cars came zooming out of the Guards Vehicle Depot, surrounding me in a circular like fasion. Exiting their vehicles guards took cover behind their cars, their weapons fixed upon me.
There was no escape. The world seemed as if in slow motion, as the roar of the Chopper sounded overhead. The dazzling light and the sound of guards shouting.
Omnicider. Submit yourself, and walk slowly towards a guards vehicle, hands in the air.
I looked across ignoring the command. I had lost all hope. My wife was dead, my familly was dead. I had nothing to lose. I looked directly at the other Omnicider's staring across from the Omnicide building. We had shed, blood, sweat and tears together in the games for people's mere amusement. The world was no longer full of humans. They were extinct. Just mere animals remained.
Looking down at the revolver I had taken, I looked across at the several Omnicider's still watching.
Goodbye boys.
I muttered under my breath, before taking the gun to my head and pulling the trigger.
-
Bang.
There's something sobering about seeing a man take his own life. Stefan knew virtually nothing about Eclipse, but seeing him splatter his own brains along the landscape made Stefan's stomach churn.
No time for sentimentals right now.
He hurried on, not considering why the guards weren't firing. Stefan reached Rex's helicopter.
"Heeeey, partner. Did I mention I was just thinking about what good friends we are?"
-
Get on, now! We are leaving now!
The helicopter took off and I was free.
Stefan, If you need a place to stay you are welcome to stay with me.
It had been a long time...
-
Deccers panted and leant against the wall. All this extra weight was pulling him down, regretfully, he cut the straps holding his rifle to his back. It looked like there'd be no time to fix it up. He also dumped the now-useless ammunition for it. A helicopter circled above, laying rounds into the guards and their vehicles.
A black figure sprinted away, only to be surrounded. Deccers recognised him as one of the top players, he'd favoured the sniper. If anybody would make it alive, it'd be him. There was a large bang and a spurt of blood as he took his own life.
Looks like my chances aren't high.
A stillness filled the compound as the chopper landed, blades still whirring over head. Rex and Stefan ran over. Seeing as the choice seemed to be between topping yourself and joining the guy who'd been responsible for the death of your C/O, he jogged over. He stumbled as a bullet ricocheted off the tarmac and hit his back. He REALLY, REALLY wished he'd picked ceramic over kevlar now.
-
((no, but they are chasing us, so you can get out under cover... So who is on my Heli?))
Hold on this is going to get bumpy! The pilot went up.
What is going on?
We have company, but we just need to get behind them. We knew this would happen we have 5 heat seeking missiles.
Hold on guys, hope you don't mind a few dead guys...
-
((Stefan = on teh heli))
"Hm... come to think of it, I actually have no idea where my family is right now."
Stefan looked over to Astrid. She was out cold.
-
renegade watched as the heli lifted off before he could get on he saw another heli that was for guards but no one was in it he then said "that will work" he ran to the heli and attached a gun he found in its storage area and he hot wired it and said "finally i'm free!" and he started flying he shot at the copters following rex and radioed over "does that help you rex?"
-
((so it is Stefan, Astrid, Deccers, and me.))
The Helicopter took a sharp right trying to lose the pursuers behind a building. We managed to get behind it and the pilot took the shot...
The other Helicopter went up in flames as the missile hit it.
Now we are home free. Take us home.
The helicopter made a sharp left and resumed our last course.
We will be there in 10 sir.
Is every one cool?
-
((I be on board))
'You have family?' Deccers shrugged 'I never saw that one coming.'
-
A few minutes later the Copter landed at my headquarters. My entire army was lined up to greet me.
I stepped out of the copter and a loud roar went up.
REX, REX, REX, REX, REX!
Calm down boys I was only gone for 2 years. Now we can resume taking the world! Who is with me!?
OH-RA!!!!!
I looked back at the heli,
Don't worry they won't touch you as long as you are on my good side. Come, let's eat some real food!
-
Stefan looked down. He thought he could see someone in the woods around Omnicide. White hair, bluish-grey jacket... was that a sniper on his back?
"Good job, Calx. Ya made it."
They landed at Rex's base, and a loud cheer erupted. Then Stefan noticed a billboard advertising Omnicide.
"Yo, Rex, check this out."
The sign showed a shot of Stefan and Rex from the mountain match, with Stefan's knife nearing Rex's throat. A caption read, "Soldier of Fortune: Rex's final superior?
"Apparently we're supposed to be rivals."
-
Welcome to the real world buddy. What they want they get. But not this time, this time I have an army to hold them off!
I walked into the Mess Hall and sat down, three people ran up and took my weapons. They cam back to ask what My friends and I wanted.
10 hamburgers and a Coke. So What do you want, it's on me.
-
"I've had enough pizza to last me a lifetime. I think I'll just have a bacon egg and cheese."
Stefan looked at Astrid, still out cold in the helicopter.
"And, uh... a bottle of water for the lady when she wakes up."
-
Shoot, so sorry! Get a room ready for the girl, and make sure it does not smell of sweaty men.
Sir. One of the People serving us left and walked up to three of my strongest, asking one of them to help him carry her from the Copter to the room.
So, Stefan do you think you could teach my men how to shoot better?
I shoved one of the Hamburgers into my mouth and started chewing...
-
Kain watched as his only friend he had ever had shot himself. All because of Omnicide.
I'm going to kill every last one these sons of b*tches.
Kain saw a helicopter fly over him, and farther off, he saw an explosion. He could see the helicopter flying off in the distance.
Looks like the others made it.
He couldn't get the image of Eclipse shooting himself out of his head. Kain ran and got into a car, and drove away. Others followed him. Bullets from machine guns pelted the ground around him. A few windows broke. He found some grenades, medical supplies, and a few C4. Soon he was at a building. He was still being pursued, but they had slowed down when he threw a few grenades and flipped some of the cars. He got out, and put a few C4 on some fuel tanks. He got in the car, and drove to a safe distance. The cars were already coming. When they were near the fuel tanks, Kain made the C4 go off. There was an explosion that sent pieces of the building everywhere. Kain started driving in the direction that the helicopter flew, hoping to find the others.
-
Stefan got his breakfast sandwich and began devouring it. He missed bacon.
"I'm not a particularly good marksman, in all honestly. I just know how to handle a gun. If you want to be a real sharpshooter, you'd be better off asking a soldier. I'm just a Thai Boxer."
-
Deccers jumped down from the 'copter. He faced a dilema, Rex and his goons had destroyed everything he knew, but he'd also saved his life.
'I'll guess I just have to go with the flow for now.'
Although, just to be on the safe side, he ensured a round was chambered in his SMG. A lovely, greasy dinner of bangers and mash awaited.
-
So, are you willing to teach my men to shoot or not? Most of these guys can handle a sword like you are eating that bacon sandwich. But have never shot a gun. Deccers come, eat. I know you don't trust me, but just sit and eat one meal, then you can leave and go where you want. Waiter! I Where is my coke!
-
renegade landed and a few blocks away and started walking to where Rex had landed he was gonna ask to join Rex's army when he got to the building they landed at he climbed in a air duck and went in he then tied a note that read "can i join your army? sincerely renegade." to a knife he then threw it at a wall by the table Rex and them were sitting at renegade then moved to where he could here what was being said at the time but if they look into the duck they wouldn't see him
-
A knife hit one of my burgers.
Alert Men!
I grabbed the knife and looked at it. "can i join your army? sincerely renegade."
Find him and bring him to me!
-
Stefan glanced at the note.
"Who's Renegade?"
-
Kain kept driving. He could see what looked like a base in the distance. He drove towards it, hoping that it was where Rex and the others had gone.
-
renegade heard rex say "men find him!" renegade then used his micro robots so renegade acted like a chameleon
-
Deccers made his decision. 'You know... I could stick around for a couple of days, teach your kids how to shoot.'
A knife came from no where, expertly piercing a burger.
-
"No, seriously, guys. Who's Renegade? Is he that short kid from Omnicide?"
-
Kain was getting closer to the base. Kain still couldn't get the image of Eclipse shooting himself out of his head.
He never used to give up. Of course, he would rather kill himself than let his enemies kill him. That's how he was when I met him, and that's the way he was when he died.
Eclipse's sniper laid on the seat. Kain had grabbed it before he left. It was the only thing he had that could remind him of his friend.
-
renegade then thought of something he then pulled out 4 piles of nanobots and asked them to hold onto him and the top of the air ducks so they wouldn't get him if the vent was kicked
-
Yeah, look in the vents. Make sure to hit them and make any thing in them fall out, better yet use Flash Bangs to make him come out. Thank you Deccers, but I have a trouble maker on my hands. Talk later.
I shoved one last burger on my face and left. This was a big place, but that kid didn't know where he was...
-
"Oooooh, it's the Brat! How'd he get here?"
-
renegade heard this and made his way out of the building and ran to the copter that he stole from the omnicides and took of "well that didn't work" he said to himself
-
Must have gotten one of his little bots on my copter and tracked it. Find him, and when you do feed him to the gators.So, its late and you are more then likely tired so, Waiter!
Sir?
Take these men to their rooms, no stink.
Sir, please this way...
He led them down a hall way. I stared thinking if I should kill them, they could topple my army if they wanted...
-
Kain saw the helicopter take off.
I hope that wasn't them.
After a few more minutes, Kain was at the base. Some guys ran out of the base and started yelling. Kain didn't care, and he wasn't paying attention. He walked forward, and one tried to stab him. Kain stepped to the side, grabbed his arm, and twisted it.
"Let me in, before I kill all of you. I'm not in the mood for this."
Kain remembered the RGA token Rex had given him, and showed it to the men. They let him in, and led him to the others. Kain sat down without saying anything. He wasn't in the mood to talk with anyone.
-
Stefan was led to his room. When he got there, he noticed a petite figure curled up in his bed.
Stefan facepalmed. Why didn't they get that she wasn't his girlfriend? Somewhat disappointed, he removed his fatigues, folding them into a makeshift pillow, and went to bed on the floor.
-
Sir, some one with the Token want to talk to you.
Kain. He is the only one I gave one besides Renegade,Bring him to me.
The servant left the room and found Kain.
He will see you.
-
Deccers crashed on the mattress, his mind running over the nights events.
Another couple of people dead. His mind wandered back to his child hood friend.
And here I am, working for some punk. On the plus side, I'm alive.
-
A man walked into the room.
"Follow me."
The man led Kain through a few hallways and into a room. Rex was standing in the room.
"You left without me you bastard."
-
O kinda had to, there were 3 helicopter after me and on the ground I was a sitting duck! Plus Renegade is here, and is trying to join my army. Do you need anything?
-
"Just a place to sleep."
-
Servant! Take Kain to his room, and make sure it is clean. See you in the morning.
I sat back down and stared looking through the pile of paper work I had...
-
renegade then while he was hovering a few miles away on the helicopter used the nanobots on the note to listen to rex's conversations and he laughed when rex said that renegade was there
-
Look for a helicopter and shoot it down!
That kid was pissing me off!
-
Stefan felt an unfamiliar emotion welling up in his gut.
What was the word for it? Sadness? Longing? Sorrow? No matter what word he used to describe it, he didn't like this feeling.
-
renegade heard this and he started flying away he then said to himself "some times i hat that guy..."
-
Kain followed the man to a room. He took off his armor, put his weapons by his bed, and laid down on the bed. He couldn't fall asleep. He started wandering around the base, just thinking. He heard Rex yell something, about a guy named Renegade. Kain didn't care who Renegade was right now, so he just ignored what was happening.
-
Where is he?
He just stared walking around, he had the token, so...
He is not a member yet, he has not taken the oath. So... HE CAN'T WALK AROUND WITH OUT AN ESCORT!
Sir!
I sat down and fell asleep at my desk...
-
For once, Stefan's dream had some degree of meaning.
It was black.
Pure black. Empty.
-
Kain heard Rex yell again. He sounded pissed. Kain kept walking, he heard what Rex had said, but he really didn't care right now. He was pissed at the people who made Omnicide, and at the fact that he couldn't help Eclipse. He felt like he wasn't able to make a difference in the world, no matter what he did, and that he couldn't help anyone.((It means that the RGA won't kill you if you have it))
-
Demos had been left behind. The helicopters had left, and it was just him, alone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT6OeBeWT8g) with a compound full of guards.
He had nowhere to go. He had to. He had to kill them. He pulled out his pistol, pushed a few spare rounds back into the clip, and walked into the yard, looking an instant at Eclipse's body, but quickly looked up to see several guards patrolling as if nothing had happened. He assessed the situation.
If I shoot the one furthest way, the others might get distracted..
No, too risky, one of them is bound to look this way.
If I could sneak across, then I could maybe get there without being seen. There is some cover.
After Demos had gone about 100 feet, he figured he had about 50 more to go.
There's a guard between me and the door, and if he doesn't see me, he must be retarded.
Demos advanced. Slowly at first, then getting faster. As he neared the guard, his shining knives slid smoothly out of his sleeves.
The guard dropped. As expected, the other 2 turned at his quick outburst. Demos had his gun ready before the guards had turned. He listened to their footsteps from behind an overturned table.
One incoming. 50 feet away. 20 degrees to the right. Aim. Fire.
Demos put his hand up from the cover and shot the guard in the chest without risking more than a hand.
Judging from the gasp the other should be 6 feet to the right. 3. 2. 1.
Demos jumped from the cover, gun pointed at the guard, who was looking in shock at his partner, who lay dying on the ground. Demos put a round in each of their heads.
Then ran.
The door is close.
Demos got out the door, he ran down another hallway, though he had no idea where he was going.
He ran.
Finally Demos got to a room where there was dim light shining through the windows.
Moonlight.
He burst through the door. Free at last.
Tick-
No!
Boom. The landmine exploded, sending Demos sprawling. He landed on the ground, his entire right side torn up and bleeding. He closed his eyes. He couldn't move.
I think... I think I'll sleep.
Demos lay still, barely breathing. Barely alive.
-
renegade then thought "wait we left demos!" renegade then fly's back to the omnicide games and see demos and say "crap" he grabs demos and flys off he then starts thinking he gets an idea he uses his spare nanobots to heal demos
-
I fell asleep again, and had a dream about Demos being shot at and almost killed. I woke up in a cold sweat, I had left him behind! I hit the Red alarm button to call my men to the meeting room. I would get him out...
-
Demos was beyond the powers of the nanobots. They tried to heal him but to no avail. He lay there, losing blood.
-
An alarm went off. Men ran through the halls. Kain followed them to Rex' room. He stood behind all of the men. He wondered what the alarm was for.
-
Stefan was shaken awake by Astrid. She was pale, and looked pretty scared. He felt his left hand gripping something. Looking over, he realized why Astrid was so spooked. The item he was gripping was his knife, and it was embedded seven inches into the wall.
"Oh. Hiya Astrid. How's it going?"
"You were moaning in your sleep."
"Was I, now? I think I'm gonna go for a walk. I've got some things to think about."
Leaving the room, Stefan went over what was bothering him in his mind. Who had they left behind? Eclipse? Suicide. The Brat? no real lose there. So then, what could possibly be-
"...Demos."
-
renegade hoping he wouldn't get killed flew to rex's place and drags demos in and says "i found him like this i Evan tried to help him with nano bots they didn't work"
-
My men gathered in the room.
Men, I have broken the only rule I have for this group, I left a man behind. We can go in and bring him out, but we might lose people if we do go! So what do you say! Make up your mind, he was a good friend to me, and I want to go get him, but I will not be the one fighting so it is up to you!
I saw Kain and walked up to him.
See, I am not a bad guy.
Sir! A Helicopter that carries Demos!
I ran to the platform and saw Renegade. I walked up to him and saw Demos.
Get this man to the infermery! As for you... Give me the token I gave you.
-
Kain didn't answer. He hated himself for forgetting Demos. Although he knew that after his only friend had died, and he was trying to escape with a whole bunch of guards around him, it would have been hard not to forget him, he still blamed himself.
-
renegade then finds rex and says "you don't have to i found him like this and i tried too help but it didn't work"
-
Just give me the damn Token!
-
"catch" renegade said as he tossed it to rex
-
Renegade threw me the token. I catch it and drop it on the ground, I step on it breaking the bounty on his head.
There, a life for a life. You can come and go from here as you please now.
I threw Him another token and went back into the building to check on Demos...
-
renegade caught it and said "well thats one less army after me"
-
(((http://i54.tinypic.com/29vazhx.png)My tokens. i think you can guess witch on is friend and witch on is death.))
-
Dakentio and Sheene were still fighting. Almost all of the guards were dead on their side.
Time to end this. Give me time to Summon.
Their stones started to glow, and there was a syphon symbol under eveyone's feet, allowing only the couple to move.
Phantom's Symbol!
Suddenly light came from the ground and a huge explosion occured. All of the guards of Omnicide died.
May the path of Light shine forth in true justice. I summon thee. Come, Solstie!
Suddenly the light god was here. He teleported them back home. The couple laughed for a few minutes. after a 10 min. of resting, they had sex. For 19 minutes. Three times. Consecetively.
-
Stefan was stricken with a sudden headache. He felt that someone, somewhere, had just done something extremely awkward and out-of-place.
-
I walked into Stefan's room and woke him.
We have Demos. Renegade brought him in. So you can sleep now.
I left the room and went to see how Demos was doing...
-
It all happened so fast in a flurry of fists and bullets. Suddenly a helicopter flew over. Inside side it was Rex, Stefan, and a few others.
The bastard...
Crimson saw this as his only chance to escape, while there was confusion. His head turned when he heard a loud bang. One of the top Omniciders just killed himself. Crimson ran into the woods. Eventually he was far away from Omnicide. He was free. But where was he going to go now. He kept on walking.
-
The base where the helicopter landed was strikingly similar to the recruiting barracks back home in Canada. Chewing on his thumbnail, his rifle slung on his back, a beretta hostered on his chest, and the one on his waist still missing, Calx wanders around the grounds, looking for hisl lost pistol.
He sighs.
"I follow that heli all the way here, and I still can't find it..."
Approaching the largest building, and still chewing on his thumbnail, Calx knocks on the door.
"Modus! Have you seen my Beretta?"
-
Stefan heard a knock on the door, then Calx's substitute for his name. He answered.
"...Calx? Oh, heya! Wait... what about your Beretta?"
-
He looks up at the roof, gnawing is nail to the skin
"You were helping a girl, and then you diedbutdidn'treallydiecausethatplacecheatsyou. I want my gun back please."
-
I was sleeping on my desk when one of my men came in and woke me up.
Sir, sir? Sir are you awake?
I am now, What do you want?
There is an unknown person at Stefan's door. What should we do.
And just how do you know that?!
We installed cameras while you were away.
Great, you know what to do. Now get me some scrambled eggs.
I sat up and looked out the window, it was about 7:30 I had slept for a long time, I got up and stretched...
-
"Oh, that's right. Hey, Astrid!"
Astrid approached the door, waving slightly at Calx.
"Do you have something that belongs to our clinically insane friend here?"
"Oh, uhm... yeah. the game ended, and you weren't there to take it back, so..."
Astrid procured a pistol out of her backpack, handing it to Calx.
"So, what's your plan now, Calx?"
-
"Going home..." he mutters, as he clutches the bag around his neck, he turns around, and begins to walk away, heading north.
-
Freeze! Drop the weapon, and get down on the ground!
40 men had the intruder surrounded...
-
Calx sighs.
"there are too many people here...I don't like crowds..."
He gives the shoulder with the Barrett slung to it a shrug; thirty pounds on a single shoulder is uncomfortable. he holds up the beretta he reciently got back to his face, giving it a once overi n his hand, continuing to head north.
"Bullets cannot harm me anymore, I suggest you save your ammo...Modus, you can come too if you want...if you don't like crowds either"
-
My men were about to shoot them.
If they want to leave, let them.
.
-
"Blezublrgarah!" It wasn't a dignified noise, but Stefan it certainly gets people's attention.
Stefan took a step forward, putting a hand on Calx's shoulder.
"Why don't I come with you? Rex and I don't particularly mix well, ya know..."
Freeze! Drop the weapon, and get down on the ground
Forty men were surrounding Stefan and Calx. Calx's immediate reaction? Walking away.
"Bullets cannot harm me anymore, I suggest you save your ammo...Modus, you can come too if you want...if you don't like crowds either"
Shrugging, Stefan followed Calx, motioning for Astrid to follow.
-
They woke up after their... hurricane. The room was a mess. They took 1`0 min. to clean it up, since not many things go in here. Sheene was makin' some bacon and eggs for them both as Dakentio went outside. When he did there were people out on his door step.
DS!DS!DS!DS!DS!
Sheene finisshed cooking and served. She came to the door to see the comosion.
Long time, no see, Mother and Father.
-
"Well welly well well my wonderful droog!" Calx exclaims, spinning half around, following it up with a bow.
"How nice of you to not stop me on my way home! In exchange, I'll show you a little magic trick!"
Calx pulls his beretta out with his right hand an points it directly at his own chest. A slight smirk twisting into an insane grin.
"Happy, happy fun fun fun! Whatever shall happent to me? Only I know!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep--
No more--and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--
To sleep--perchance to dream!"
-
Stefan was tempted to do something to stop Calx. He didn't want to see someone else paint the floor with their own innards again. Not in the same day, not ever again.
This, however, was captivating.
-
"How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
Seem to me all the uses of this world"
With that, he pulls the trigger, and staggers, he rights himself, and stands, arms outstretched, the beretta still smoking in his right palm.
"With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not nor it cannot come to good
For I must hold my tongue. I have someone I need to meet!"
Laughing hysterically in a single movement, he bows, turns, and begins to walk north again.
-
Stefan was only slightly speechless.
What just happened?
Shrugging it off, he followed Calx, pausing just before exiting. He might as well say something cryptic, too. He turned around to face the guards.
"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
Waving for Astrid to follow, he turned and followed Calx.
-
Let them go, we have plans to make. Go and wake Kain and Deccers.
-
Calx occasionally lets out a low chuckle every now and again as he walks.
Well that was entertaining. How did you do it?
Why the hell would I tell you?
-
Aside from the occasional giggle coming from Calx, they traveled more or less in silence.
"So... Can you tell me how you suddenly became immune to bullets?"
-
"Not immune, but I certainly cannot be hit by one. Sadly, I cannot do such a trick with anything really bigger than that. If i could, you would no longer be with me. Remember that you touched my shoulder."
Calx spots a mountain in the distance between the trees, and adjusts his direction to meet up with it.
-
A man came and woke Kain up. Kain was still in his bloodstained clothes that he always slept in. He didn't change, or grab his weapons. He had barely slept. He followed the man to Rex' room, but didn't even realize where he was until the door shut behind the man.
"Why am I here?"
-
renegade gave a note to a guard and told him to give it to rex the note read "so now can join your army?"renegade then left and got in the helicopter he had used and started to sleep
-
"Well isn't that convenient. So, aside from home, do I get any details on where we're going?"
Stefan noted that he'd forgotten all his ammo at Rex's base. Should they have an encounter, he was running on a single cartridge.
-
Calx points to the mountain.
"We need to know where we are Modus, then we can get going..."
-
"Right. No GPS. I forgot."
-
Some kid touched Deccers' shoulder as he was sleeping. Surprised, he pulled his knife from his thigh, and held it to the kid's wrist. He smiled, the boy reminded him of his younger self.
'Try not to catch me unawares, eh?'
He pulled himself out of bed and strolled over to Rex's office.
Time to lay down some ground rules.
He rehearsed his words in his head over and over again, the more aggressive he was, the more likely he was to get what he wanted.
'I want 25 of your best men, I want 26 assault rifles and as much ammunition as we can fire, I want to have the final say on everything we do and I want the GODDAMN NAMES OF EVERY MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF MY TEAM MEMBERS'
His hands were gripped in tight fists of rage, as much as he tried, he couldn't begin to like this guy.
-
"Can she climb too? I'm fine with going by myself..." He mumbles, nodding in the girl's direction.
-
Stefan looked in Astrid's direction. She was staring at the tip of the mountain, pale again.
"I-I-.... I think I'll just wait down here. On the ground."
Stefan narrowly avoided smiling. Astrid was afraid of heights. He looked back to Calx.
"Looks like the mountain's a no-go for the two of us, then. You'll be back?"
-
"...I just want to know where we are..." He rolls his head back into its foreward position without moving his eyes, giving his shoulder with the sniper on it a shrug.
"I suggest you find something that hides you from the sky...a cave or a lean-to...Who knows what's looking for you..."
He begins to walk again, beginning his acent up the mountain
-
"You got it, cheif."
Seeing a small crevice in the Mountain, Stefan led Astrid to cover.
-
Deccers stormed into my office and made some request.
First you'll get your men, guns and ammo. As for the other one, Look around you. My stupid ass second in command declared war and all of the men here have been killing your friends. But I put a stop to that. Seth had on of my friends killed, so I had him killed. Any thing else? My men are waiting for you, go pick you 25.
-
They won't be there when you get back
Says you
Yes, says me
With nothing but his toughts, Calx sits on a ledge for a short break, about 200 meters above ground level, and at least another 600 to go.
-
Well, it seems like that's as good as it's gonna get.
'Done.' He span on his heel and made his way to the drill hall. 60 men stood to attention in ranks of 3, none of them waivered as he walked up and down, inspecting. They'd been well disciplined, he'd expected less from a rag-tag group of rebels. In the end, he picked the 25 who looked the least well trained. He wanted men who could use their initiative, not robots.
-
I looked at one of my best soldiers.
If he does any thing to undermine my control of this army, kill him and feed him to the pigs.
Sir.
Guss was about to leave the room.
Wait a sec, Wake Kain and tell him I would like to talk.
Sir.
Guss left the room and I sat down, I had 2 years to catch up on.
-
Calx was laying on his back, looking up at the sky.
Wasting time will get you killed
He Immediately stands up and begins to climb again.
-
Stefan started thinking. How far were they gonna be going? He wanted some type of vehicle if they were going far. Creeping out of hiding, he found a road. It was more or less empty, aside from the pair of headlights off in the distance. He drew his colt and hid in a nearby bush. He wouldn't be killing anyone, but he certainly wanted them to be afraid.
As the vehicle approached, Stefan jumped out of the bush, pointing his revolver at the driver's seat.
"GET OUT! GET OUT OF THE DAMN CAR!"
The driver stepped out, hands behind his head. Stefan immediately recognized him. It was the Omnicide executive that had spoken at the execution. He remembered the dead bodies. He remembered Astrid's mental state.
Whipping the executive across the face with his Colt, he motioned for Astrid to come over.
"Howdy, there, mistah' Omnicide. I'm sure you know me, though you may not know Astrid here. She knows you, though. You took something pretty valuable away from her."
Astrid was staring at the man. Shaking. She wasn't scared anymore, she was angry. Very, very angry.
"...You... You FREAK! How could you do that to another human being!? How could you do that to TEN people!? You killed them! You killed my family, you MONSTER!"
She slugged him in the gut. To a fit man, a little girl hitting them in the stomach wouldn't be much. To a TV show executive? It was like getting hit by Mike Tyson. He gasped and stumbled back, falling over the guardrails at the road's edge. Off a cliff. Into the water. Or, rather, into the rocks that were jutting out of the water. The two of them approached the railing, looking at the bloodstain where he'd impacted with the rock. The ocean had already carried him away.
"...Time to go."
Stefan got in the driver's seat of the car. It was a nice one. Lamborghini. About as inconspicuous as an elephant in a K-mart. When Astrid got in the passenger side, He backed it into the woods, carefully avoiding any trees or particularly sharp rocks. This thing wasn't an offroader.
Looking up at the mountain, Stefan saw Calx making his descent.
-
Calx slides down the last 100 meters, and stares at the car.
"LamborghiniMurcielagoLP640luxurymodelhandmadeestimatedatfivehundredthousandamericandollars."
He peers over that the girl, and the hand she was holding with her other caught his eye.
"Punch with your thumb on the outside of your fist. You'll break it yourself if you don't..." he mumbles, as he goes back to gnawing his thumbnail.
-
"Did you say... five hundred thousand? Whatever, the previous owner is slightly dead right now, so it's ours. Anyway, which way are we going?"
-
"East..." he states matter-of-factly, as he jumps in the backseat of the car, and immediately begins to dissasemble his pistols.
-
'Alright lads! We're off to the armoury to get us some weapons. My name is Deccers, and as of now, I'll be reassuming my rank as Staff Sergeant!'
'We already know your name... er... sir.'
'WHAT!?' He shouted next to the outspoken man's face.
'Well... we've.. er.. that is sir... we've seen you on television.'
Deccers was dumbstruck. He'd completely forgotten that the Omnicide Games were world-wide entertainment. Presumably they'd seen the escape, his face would be all over the news.
'Riight... Anyway, this way.'
-
"Right. East. Nice and specific."
Stefan pulled out of the trees, moving the car to the appropriate lane.
"We're... We're headed for that city?"
-
Halt! You can't be here!
The guards outside the armory weren't letting Deccers into it.
You must have Rex's permission to enter, and I don't see any! Leave or I will shoot you!
I was watching on the cameras to see how Deccers would handle this...
-
Calx rolls his head as he peers at the megalopolis in the distance.
"What else is interesting in the east? i have someone I need to find there."
-
Deccers smiled at the guy, just to put him off a little. It was time to use his new-found fame to use.
'Do you know who I am?'
He raised his pistol, sure, it wouldn't work out here, but the guard wouldn't know that. With a flick of his thumb, the safety was deactivated.
'You could give the order to shoot. But I think you'd regret it. Think a little, consider your situation, you're new to the whole gun thing. But me? I've trained with the best.'
-
That was enough, I was not going to lose any of my men. I hit the loud speaker button and started talking.
Let them pass. They have my permission.
-
Stefan had a thought.
"...Dude, are there TVs back there?"
He looked back. There was a collapsible TV attached to the roof of the car. He hit the breaks.
"We're switching seats."
-
The guard stepped aside.
'That wasn't so hard was it?'
He entered the pitifully small armoury. Sure, the place had loads of spikey stuff, but that wasn't what floated Deccers' boat. He made his way to the firearms.
'One rifle! One pistol! Eight mags each! Get your arses moving!'
-
He sighs.
"If I must..." In a flash, almost in a sleight-of-hand motion, he reassembles his berettas, and hops into the front seat, adjusting the mirrors, steering wheel position, and seat.
"Standard...good it would be a waste if the shift was automatic."
He steps on the gas. Lurching everyone in the car backwards into their seat.
"zero to sixty in 3.3 seconds..."
-
Calx was almost as bad a driver as Stefan. Almost.
Stefan was watching the news, which had taken a break from their usual nonsense to get a real report in.
-The recent Omnicide Breakout, several of the top contestants have escaped, including Stefan, Rex, Demos, Calx, and one sniper who took his own life upon exiting the compound.
Their faces flashed on screen, along with their age and names.
"Hey, did you guys hear that? We're famous... again!"
-
"Pfft. People using their real names." he chuckles, "People complain about losing their anonymity and then get insulted when someone doesn't recognize them from whatever success they've had."
-
"Implying that Rex's real name is, in fact, Rex."
The escapees are believed to be armed and extremely dangerous. The director of Omnicide Games is urging anyone who sees them to call the police immediately.
-
Well they know where I am, they always have. If they want me come and get me! But this time you won't leave this place alive!
-
Crimson found the edge of the woods. It led out to a road. Crimson followed it, curious on where he would be led to.
-
"Current velocity: 110 kilometers per hour, or 68 miles per hour. Estimated time of arrival: 2 hours."
Well don't you sound smart?
Smarter than you are
-
(how about the road leads to where I want it to. Mkay?)
Crimson continued down the road. He looked through the woods and saw what looked like some kind of base. Then something hit his. He walked right into a sign, indicating that there was a city a few hours up the road. Which way should I go?
-
My son, Kratos, 13, showed me a TV of omnicide. There were people that he had seen.
"Besides those top ranks, there are two more people on the list: these two."
They showed a picture of me and Sheene.
"Let us know if you can find these people. Your work and effort will be awarded as we will deal with them."
-
And in other news, Rebecca Black will be releasing her hundredth album this friday, titled, "Monday".
"Hey, Calx... This person we're meeting in the city... who is it?"
-
He takes a hand off the wheel and grips the bag around his neck.
"Someone I need to see, but I don't know where they are exactly..."
-
"Don't know where they are? Then why are we picking this city, out of the millions they could be in?"
Astrid had fallen asleep again. She probably wasn't used to killing people.
-
I was caught in a day dream when Guss came running in.
Sir! A small government army is on its way here!
Engage Operation Home Base Safety.
Yes sir, but we will need your voice authorization. So speak into this.
Guss pulled down a speaker and turned it on.
Operation Home Base Safety in now in effect.
As soon as I said it a lever came out of the floor. I pushed it down and all of the shutters slammed shut. Out side of the compound automated defenses turned on. Anti air, tank and troops. Further out millions of land mines turned on. Get to me now!
-
"There is someone I know in that city that should know where they are. His name is Stefan."
-
"Stefan, eh? Green haired guy that made me have to get my own name scrapped?"
-
"What are you talking about? Your name is Modus"
-
Stefan buried his head in his hands.
"Calx, I'm not sure how I can make this any clearer to you... My name is Stefan Cadogan. Not Modus."
-
Something started happening to the base, as if whoever was inside it was getting ready for an attack. Crimson got closer, curious about what is going on.
-
Calx pulls a picture out of his pocket and tosses it into the backseat.
(http://p1cture.it/images/97328304966431956873.jpg)
"Thats him. He's a manipulative bastard, and a liar, so don't listen to a word he says."
-
Crimson quietly sneaks through the woods. He looks down, and notices a strange clump of leaves. It's not completely flat like the rest of the leaves. Mines! Crimson was suddenly more alert. He started seeing more and more of them. As if they just popped up at that second. He stepped carefully to the nearest tree, and climbed it. As he gripped a branch it snapped off. It fell and landed directly on a mine. It exploded, and set off a few other mines around it. Damnit, now someone's gunna come and investigate. Crimson remained motionless incase someone came.
-
Sir one of the mines just blew, I think it is a scouting party. Should we send a few men?
Yes use the Heli. Take 10.
Soon the Heli was over the mine field and was looking for traces of the explosion. They found it and started looking for bodies.
Sir, it was a stick it fell in it.
I though they were heat sensing?!
Me too I guess no... One sec sir.
Guss looked up the tree the branch had fallen from and saw a person...
-
Stefan looked at the picture.
"Huh. If he's a liar, why are we going to him for information?"
-
Looks like I've been found out. Crimson, not knowing what to do, just waves at the helicopter
-
Bring him in, alive.
Yes sir! Get out of the tree, or I will kill you!
-
"You are in a room with 2 doors, one will lead to paradise and the other will lead to hell. The 2 doors are identical and you do not know which door will lead to which. In front of the 2 doors are 2 men. One will ALWAYS lie while the other ALWAYS speaks the truth."
-
Crimson slowly got down from the tree, waiting for something to happen.
-
Two of the men grabbed him and handcuffed him.
Rex wants to talk to you!
They threw in into the heli and returned to the base...
-
Rex... Crimson was thrown to the helicopter, and they took off and landed at the base.
-
((lol))
I was waiting for it when it landed. Guss picked up the intruder and dropped him at my feet. Crimson.
Untie him, this is Crimson.
Guss bent down and released the hand cuffs.
How did you get here?
-
I ran into the woods while all the chaos was going on at omnicide. I saw the base through the woods. I saw the mines and I accidentaly set one off.
-
A man walked into the room with Crimson. Rex oredered him to be untied.
"Rex left you too? What the hell Rex? You left three people? What the f*ck is wrong with you?"
-
Well welcome to my compound, it is usually a lot cheerier, but an army is on its way. Right this way.
I led him into the building... But Kain was there.
"Rex left you too? What the hell Rex? You left three people? What the f*ck is wrong with you?"
poop happens, you can make all the plans in the world, but when poop hit the fan you have to move fast or get left behind. If I didn't have 3 helis on my ass I would have waited...
-
Thanks.
-
"Oh, I know what riddle. You ask either man what door the other would say leads to torture. They will both direct you to the door which leads to paradise. How does that relate, though?"
-
"All you really need to know is how to ask..."
-
Stefan shrugged, turning off the news. He didn't care much about Justin Bieber's thirtieth year without going through puberty.
-
Calx pulls off of the road and turns the car off, grabbing his sniper and opening the door of the car, he walks aorund to the passenger side and begins to head into the woods.
-
"Woah, slow down, partner! Why are we stopping here?"
Stefan got out of the car, opening the Astrid's door. It was about time for her to wake up.
-
"If you can't figure it out, you can't have any."
He approaches a tree, and begins to climb, his Barrett swaying back and forth.
-
Stefan shook Astrid gently on the shoulder.
"C'mon, Astrid. Time to wake up."
"Mmm... okay."
She immediately closed her eyes again. It reminded Stefan of himself. Unbuckling her seatbelt, he lifted Astrid up, pulling her by the wrist in Calx's direction.
"Steffy, I said okay... I'll be up in a second."
...Steffy?
Only one person had ever called him Steffy before. The thought of that person sent shivers down his spine.
"You'll be up now. I'm not leaving you in a stolen and extremely conspicuous vehicle when we've just escaped from one of the largest and most heavily armed organizations in the world."
-
Noone could see Calx from below anymore, only the muzzle of his rifle, poking out of the leaves.

A scruff of brown catches his eye 400 meters away, his scope snapes to it, and he fires a single round, and drops back down out of the tree, walking towards his target, unsheathing his knife as he walked.
Reaching his destination, he grabs the now headless deer with his right arm, and drags it into the open, immediately gutting it with smooth, expert movements.
-
"...Ah. Hunting."
Stefan sat down, watching Calx cut apart what was once a deer.
-
Calx places the now cut deer steaks on a pile of leaves he tore from a tree. Cleaning his knife of blood, he begins to search for some firewood.
If you can't survive by yourself, you're not worth keeping alive
-
Stefan looked over to Astrid. There wasn't a single callous on her hand, and her arms weren't particularly thick with muscle, either. Why had she been brought to Omnicide?
-
Calx examines the zippo lighter, flicking the lid on and off. On and off. Cracking the case on a nearby rock, he pours the lighter fluid onto the newly formed pile of dry branches.
"Now where am I to get a lighter?" he asks, rolling his head in the direction of the other two.
-
"I'm no smoker, so I don't have a lighter with me."
"I'm much too adorable and innocent to be tainted by poor habits."
Stefan chuckled at this statement. He had to admit it was true.
"Well, would we be able to find flint anywhere nearby?"
-
In a single movement, Calx picks up, aims and fires his rifle at a stone 50 meters away.
"Agate. Similar to flint. I'm no longer hungry. You and the other can eat."
He yawns, and makes his way up a tree, lazily tossing his sniper into the branches.
Within seconds faint snoring can be heard from among the rustling of the leaves.
-
"...Wow. I wish I could sleep like that."
Stefan got up and approached the stone.
"Right. Agate."
"..."
"..."
"You have no idea what you're doing."
"Bingo."
-
Sirens deafened Deccers' as the group made their way to an empty hall. The group jumped into action, and bomb-bursted, sprinting in different directions.
'Where the HELL do you think you're going?!' He roared, trying to make himself heard above the noise of the alarms.
'You listen to ME now. Not Rex, not anybody else. And I say we carry on training!'
He indicated for them to lie down in the prone position, he couldn't continue shouting. He showed them, with hand signals how to strip the weapon down into its principle parts.
-
Demos was dreaming. A good dream. Something he hadn't had in a long time.
He was floating, in an empty sky. In the distance, and slowly fading away, was a storm cloud.
It seemed like a good dream.
Then something struck him. A lightning bolt from seemingly nowhere. He fell, faster and faster until...
Until he would have hit the ground. But he didn't. Something stopped him. Something.. grey. He stopped just before his body turned into an organ and bone strewn mess all over the street. He didn't hit the ground, instead, he slowly climbed until he was at a comfortable height, able to continue the pleasantness of a good dream.
(Hint, hint. Think about it, and maybe you'll understand.)
-
It's morning
Do you ever shut up?
Who knows?
With a large yawn, Calx sits up and stretches his arms. The sun had not quite come up yet, and Calx decided he would take a short walk, to prepare for the rest of the journey.
With a light hop, he drops out of the tree, grabbing his rifle out of the branches as he falls.
The firewood was unburnt, the meat, now rancid from being left out, was covered in flies.
With a sigh, Calx looks for his 2 companions, who were found in the passenger and backseat of the Lamborghini. Looking into the dark, tinted windows, he notices that they are both still asleep. He takes a step back, and kicks the car door, creating a loud, metallic thud.
"Morning children. Did you eat well last night?" He remarks sarcastically.
"Ready for the next chapter of wonderful adventure that your good friend Calx took you on?"
-
Stefan reached for his alarm to hit the snooze button. Of course, there was no alarm, and Calx probably didn't have a Snooze button.
"Gah... shaddup. I'm a Kickboxer, not a camper. We're making it to the city today, I assume?"
Astrid was shielding her face from the light blaring in.
"Do either of you two let anyone sleep... EVER?"
-
"Only if I'm not being chased by very wonderful people in a car so outrageous, it might as well have a neon glow 'here' sign." Calx mutters as he walks over to the driver seat.
"I plan to be rid of this car before anyone knows we took it. I don't reccomend being near it at that time."
He pulls some of the shattered agate out of his pocket and throws it under the driver's seat.
"ETA: 30 minutes." He states, as the car comes to life.
-
Stefan bolted upright. Rid of THIS car?
"Woah, woah, woah... Let's take it down a notch, skippy. WHAT do you plan on doing to my new car?"
-
"Making sure noone can follow us. These have a very complex GPS on them, they'll be here within the hour. I plan to be gone before then."
-
"Gah... whatever. I should have known a nice car wasn't gonna be coming my way for long."
Stefan collapsed back onto the seat, savoring the last few minutes he had on the fine leather.
-
Dammit
Calx swerves off of the road, grabs the agate from under the seat, some papers from the glove box, and begins to shred them, placing the pieces in a pile.
-
Calx was shredding up paper. Insane people with conductive rocks and shredded paper was usually a bad sign. Stefan got out of the car, pulling Astrid with him.
"Young lady, I do believe we are about to witness massive amounts of fire."
-
The sparks began to catch the paper, and the red of the ember began to grow. Calx leans over and blows into it, causing it to glow brighter.
It catches, and the flames begin to build up.
"What to burn what to burn....I need something to burn...I wonder..."
Calx jumps out of the car, and approaches the back, popping the trunk to reveal the engine. He twists off a knob and smells inside.
Alcohol based wiper fluid....Now how to get it out...
Searching the engine for a solution, he settles for the fluid tube. Ripping it out of the engine, he shoves it into the tank, sucking on one end to create a vacuum, and fills his mouth with the disgusting taste of wiper fluid.
Running back to the driver side of the car, he spits the liquid back out in a spray, creating a fireball in the front seat.
With the upholstery melting and catching fire itself, Calx examines his work, giving a nod and walking away.
"Modus can take care of the ones that come right?"
-
The car was engulfed in flame. Stefan took a few steps back. Fire was hot. Heat caused explosions. Explosions caused shrapnel. Fast, small shrapnel, whipping through the air into his sole surviving eye.
"Calx? I think it just might be time to skiddadle."
-
"We have about 30 seconds before it reaches the gas tank."
Calx begins to grin again.
"And all the kings horses and all the kings men are attracted by the flames and screams coming from the creatures of the forest."
-
Stefan bolted. He had no idea what the size of that explosion would be, but he was terrified of shrapnel. Knives, bullets, fists, okay. They could be predicted, more or less. Not shrapnel.
Thirty....
Twenty...
Ten...
Five... four... three... two...
-
Calx's insane grin makes another appearence as he runs. His giggles evolving into a psychotic laugh.
"ONE!"
The light was noticed first. Then the heat wave. Then the sound. After what he deemed to be a safe distance, he decides to hop up another tree.
"Now we have friends coming to see what we're celebrating Modus. Now, I'm going to play hide and seek, but I'm not very good sometimes, so could you help me out and get rid of some of the seekers?" He asks innocently, as the glint of his rifle begins to produe out from the branches once again.
-
Stefan nodded. He was still staring at a chipmunk, which had been impaled by the driver's door.
Paranoid, am I? Who's paranoid now, Anurak? Who's paranoid now?
As Calx disappeared into the woods, Stefan moved next to Astrid.
"If the police stop us, my name is Tony Vasquez, and you are my wife, Isabella. We were on our way home from a friend's when our car caught on fire."
"Of course, honey. I'm going to be pressing charges when we get home. That dirty dealership ripped us off."
She laced her voice with a tinge of a French accent.
As he heard sirens and was police vehicles approach, Stefan began walking with Astrid, holding his arm around her shoulders like any husband would after a traumatic event. One, two, three law enforcement vehicles passed them. The fourth, however, pulled over some ten feet in front of them. Two cops got out.
"G'devening, sir and ma'am. Would you mind if we asked you each a few questions tonight?"
"Not at all, sir."
Tony Vasquez was Russian. His accent wasn't quite as genuine as that of Isabella, but it was still believable.
The second cop pulled Astrid aside to ask questions a fair distance away. Of course. Don't let them hear each other's stories, see if they match up.
"What's your name, young man?"
"I am Tony Vasquez. That is my wife, Isabella."
"Mhm. What are you doing here at this hour?"
"We were on our way home from a friend's house, and a cigarette in the back caught flame. That pile of black metal used to be our vehicle."
"Interesting story. Made even more so by two factors. The first is how much that car resembles the one owned by Alfred Richardson, and the second, is that it is being told to me by Stefan Cadogan, recently escaped Omnicide Contestant."
The officer unholstered his pistol, aiming at Stefan's chest. Astrid seemed to be having better luck. SHE wasn't in the top ten.
Ducking his head, Stefan dove forward into the cop, shouting for Astrid to get to work. Out of the gun's line of fire, he grabbed the back of the officer's neck, pulling his head down while leaping up in a flying knee. Blood was pouring out of the cop's nose before he hit the ground. Astrid had successfully become handcuffed by the second officer, their backs facing Stefan.
Closing the distance between them, Stefan grabbed the cop's shoulder, forcing him downwards. One overhead elbow to the officer's soft spot put him on the ground. Brain damage was almost definite.
"Calx...? Time to go. Like now."
-
If you cannot move quickly from rooftop to rooftop, you'll be left behind.
Calx drops out of a tree some 5 meters from Stefan and the girl.
"I guess that means I win the game of hide and seek." He remarks in a childish tone, playfully spinning as he walks.
Picking his pace up to a run, Calx begins to lay out his plan.
"After we enter the city, I'll no longer be near you. My rifle is too large to hide, and I'll be somehwere that isn't commonly searched. I'll be nearby in case I'm needed but you two have to keep to yoursleves while we're here. Once we're past that wall, head down the street 6 blocks make a left, and proceed down until you reach a run down pawn shop. When there, ring the doorbell once, and walk around to the back, you will find a cellar. Knock three times on the cellar door, and wait."
-
Demos had another dream.
He was floating alone in the sky again, like in the first one. Something caught him, and he couldn't move. He was brought down to meet many more of him, trapped the same way he was, bound by some unknown force. He didn't try to escape, thinking it would be harmful to himself. He then watched as several copies of him were strangled to death right in front of his eyes. He and a few others got together and broke free, only to find they didn't know where to go from there. They couldn't continue floating anymore...
-
The first mines went off a few minutes later.
Sir they are here. the field seems to be holding them.
Good lets heat things up a bit.
Sir!
I pulled a lever and the ground around the army went up in flames.
Come and get me!
-
Well, they won't find us anytime soon. Let's make the most of our time.
The three went into their home, Sheene making lunch for their son, Kratos playing Tales of Symphonia, and Dakentio listening to music while sleeping.
-
The sirens stopped suddenly, the eerie silence only lasted a matter of miliseconds however, until a huge explosion rocked the building.
'Stay here.' He commanded as he edged his way to a cracked window. Outside, a seriously untrained army was advancing. It was like World War One all over again, like mindless ants they walked over their dead and wounded, only to be blown up by landmines. A few of them were shooting, and poorly aimed bullets flew towards the compound.
'Nothing to worry about. Now, I want to see you put those back together.' He pointed towards the small pile of pieces in front of each man.
-
"Okey doke. Six blocks, make a left."
Stefan and Astrid made their way to the city, encountering no resistance at the checkpoints. Apparently nobody had heard the killings that had jut taken place.
The inside of the city was depressing. Few people were on the streets aside from notorious looking groups of children, who seemed to scatter whenever Stefan neared them. At one point, he passed a wall dedicated entirely to graffiti relating to Omnicide Games.
(http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af196/lolwut_/Omnicidewall.png)
"Oh, look. My name's first. Touching."
-
Calx leans over the side of the building, the updraft from the street below blows his hair upwards. After chekcing on his companions, Calx makes a run for the next rooftop. With a large push, he takes a leap of faith, coming up short, and slamming into the side of the building, knocking the wind out of him. Clinging for dear life, he pulls himself up to the roof, and rolls onto his back.
Its been too long
Catching his breath and standing up, he makes his way over to the edge again, making sure the two were on the right path before continuing on to the next building.
-
As they passed the six-block mark, Stefan and Astrid turned left. A few minutes of walking brought them to a very sketchy pawn shop.
Alright.... Ring the doorbell, go around, knock on the cellar door.... why would a pawn shop have a doorbell, anyway?
Ringing the doorbell, Stefan made his way around the building. Sure enough, there was a door that presumably lead to something underground. He knocked three times, and waited for something to happen.
-
An ominous voice eminates from deep within the cellar
What's your name boy?
-
renegade woke up as a grunt from a army was trying to kill renegade. renegade then got out a knife and drove it into the grunts skull renegade then after seeing the army used his nanobots to upgrade the helicopter and he took off and started shooting at the opposing army he started waving machine gun fire threw the ranks he then radioed to rex "does this radio Evan work? and does this help?"
-
Creepy voice. I like this guy so far.
"Your name Stefan? Mine too. Don't tell your sniper friend that, though. I'm Modus to him."
-
A snicker eminates from the cellar.
Oh? Calx is here? Well then, if you know him I guess I can let you in.
The cellar door opens, and a green haired man wearing a pink hawaiian shirt steps out. He motions them in the direction inside
Please come in He states with a sneer.
-
Rex's army collided with the other. Pff I'm out of here. I done with all this fighting. He left through the woods. Crimson picked up a few rocks and threw them all in one direction, one at a time. No mines. He then walked through, leaving Rex's base.
-
After a few minitues and a couple of hints from Deccers, the entire group had their rifles reassembled.
'Right then! He walked up and down the two rows they formed on the floor. 'Let's begin with a few basic drills! With a magazine of no rounds, LOAD!' He commanded. Almost instantly, he winced. He definitely should have demonstrated before hand. Half the guys fumbled, or pinched their skin in the mechanism. One poor sod didn't even push it all the way in, and it slowly slid out, clattering almost comically to the floor.
'UNLOAD!'
This was a little better, and there were no stifled curses from the troops.
'LOAD! We're gonna keep doing this until you're perfect. He warned
-
Stefan stood where he was. What had Calx said about this guy?
"Huh. You know, he actually told me a bit about you before I got here. I believe the adjectives he used to describe you were 'Manipulative bastard' and 'liar'."
-
Ohhh poor Calx, ruining my reputation before I even get to meet anybody. Ever since I said something to him for his own good, and he found out, he's been telling everyone I'm a manipulative liar. Tell me, would you say something to someone that you knew wasn't the truth if it was for their own good? I did. Now please, let me show you some hospitality and you can decide for yourself.
He beconds a second time.
-
Stefan looked at Green Stefan, then back to Astrid.
"You wait here."
Calx WAS crazy, but he wasn't about to put two people in possible danger with nothing to go on but Calx being one to hold a grudge. He entered the cellar.
-
I respect your descision, but are you sure its safe to leave such a pretty lady on the street alone? He asks with a slight smirk.
-
Stefan stopped in his tracks, turning back to face his green haired counterpart.
"...Dammit, you're good. Astrid?"
Astrid hurried to his side. Clearly she didn't like this fellow very much. They continued down the stairs.
"So, Stefan, you watch any TV?"
-
Oh, here and there. He chuckles. But I did hear this one story about how some people broke out of Omnicide. I don't know any of the details though.
At he bottom of the stairs, he turns to the boy and girl, arms outstretched.
Welcome to my humble abode! Its not much, but its mine, please have a seat.
The entire basement reeked of gasoline and chemicals. There was junk everwhere, random bullets, empty magazines , and half full dirty bottles, the contents of which were unrecognizable.
He approaches a worn out couch, which was in front of a small brown antenna TV, some springs sticking out of the cushons. He swipes his arm over the seats, clearing them of wires, switches and other curious pieces of junk.
-
Stefan scanned the room. Aside from the smell, it wasn't much different from his old house. Oh, wait, his old house wasn't a putrid hole of filth.
"Glorious. Why do I have the feeling that this room's radiation is more dangerous than the entire big-ass company after me?"
-
So rude! I'm offended! he says sarcastically.
And I thought you came here because you wanted something, but you only showed up to insult my living conditions.
Stefan pulls a cigarette out of his pocket, and lights it.
Assuming you're here with Calx, I'm guessing he wants to know where Nex is. Am I right?
-
Nex. A new name.
"He said we were coming here because you would know where to find... someone. He never mentioned the name. Who's Nex?"
-
Stefan takes a puff of his cigarette and smiles.
Whoops! It looks like I said something I shouldn't. I guess he doesn't trust you enough.
He takes another puff.
Well, I guess there's nothing I can do now, I might as well continue. As you know, snipers work in pairs, one spotter, one shooter. Nex was his partner, and also his mentor, although they were the same age, she was so much better of a shot than him. He didn't like that.He exhales, creating a ring of smoke in the air.
Now this is just me, but I think they had a little more going on than just working together on jobs if you know what I'm saying.
He takes a seat next to Stefan, putting his arm around his neck.
Calx was never right in the head, he was always....off. Even when he began to be hired, they only really put up with him and his habits because of his results. As long as he got the job done, noone cared what he did in his off time. That is, except Nex. She wanted to help him out, stop him from doing things like scalping the homless on the streets, or pinning severed limbs to telephone poles. And for the most part, it worked out well. He seemed to calm down, and act like a normal person, with the exception of the hits the took on together.
But one day, Calx never came back with Nex. And when I asked her where he was, she just mumbled something about him not coming back. I assumed the worst and thought he slipped up and got himself killed. From that day on, she seemed...distant. I thought it was because Calx had died. But that doesn't seem to be the case, as you've been with him for a while hasn't he? Or perhaps, you've been speaking with a ghost while you were at Omnicide? That may be a possibility wouldn't it Stefan Cadogan, ranked third overall in Omnicide games?
-
"What'd you say about not watching TV? At any rate, I doubt he's a ghost. Not all into that spirit lingo, ya know?"
Stefan flicked a speck of dirt off his eyepatch as it fell from the ceiling. Attractive.
"So... This Nex girl... she's sort of like a crazy deterrent for Calx?"
-
He closes his eyes, and inhales deeply.
Yeah I guess you can say-
The celler door is blown open, and in a blur, a figure dives from the stairwell to Stefan knocking him off of the couch.
It was Calx, drawing a pistol and pointing it at the back of Stefan's head.
"WHERE IS SHE? IM NOT DEALING WITH YOU TODAY STEFAN. YOUR NEXT SENTENCE BETTER HAVE A LOCATION IN IT, OR I PULL THIS TRIGGGER RIGHT HERE AND YOU CAN GIVE SATAN SOME OF YOUR LIES IN HELL"
Calx pushes the berretta into the back of Stefan's head.
Nice to see you too- Calx fires a round into the air.
"THEY AREN'T BLANKS. NOW TALK"
I was just explaining to your firends here your situation.
Calx's eyes widen, and he turns to look at the boy and girl on the couch. Stefan pulls a reversal, and pins Calx to the ground a demonic smile on his face. he leans over to his hotages ear and whispers.
I heard she shot you. How are you still alive?
Calx's face was blank. He made no reaction to Stefan's words, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he had the weight of a full grown man pressing down on his stomach.
-
Calx made a very angry, very dramatic entrance. Now he was pinned down by Green Stefan.
Stefan pulled out his colt, aiming at his counterpart's skull.
"Oh, hey, I have a gun, too! Now, can we please talk like human beings before the apocalypse hit? I'm getting tired of killing people."
-
Crimson crouched silently in the bushes by the road. Waiting or someone to come. Suddenly, he heard the roar of an engine. Motorcycle... He thought to himself. He readied a shurikan, waiting for the rider to pass by. The rider came into view. With a flick of the wrist and throwing motion of hims arm, the shuriken silently cut through the air, and the hit man in the temple. He fell off the bike and the bike fell on it's side. The wheels still spinning. Crimson pulled the shuriken out of the riders skull. He then dragged the corpse deep into the woods. Crimson took his sunglasses. Crimson likes sunglasses. Crimson went to the bike and turned it off. He then pulled it up, got on it, turned it on, and sped on down the road.
-
Now then, I don't reccomend pointing that at me. Because if i die, who would dissarm the landmines you two sat on? Stefan spits out his cigarette, and pulls another from his shirt pocket.
You see, as soon as you remove too much weight, Boom! He exclaims as he throws his hands in the air.
I wonder if the girl will still be pretty without a lower torso? Shall we find out?
-
Normally, Stefan's immediate reaction would be to stand up and approach anyone who threatened his friends. It needn't be said why that wasn't going to fly in this situation. Rather, he pulled the hammer of his revolver down. Cliche, maybe. But punctual.
"Get off of him."
-
Now, I can't do that either, as Calx here will probably try to kill me if I so much as shift my weight. Maybe after he calms down we can figure something out, kay? He exhales deeply, blowing a set of lungs worth of smoke into Stefan's face.
And besides, at this point in the game, you don't really have the authority to tell me to do anything as long as you're still on that couch. Well, I guess you could, but I might get offended, and leave you to as you are. And that would be oh so tragic. Stefan takes the cigarette out of his mouth, and examines it.
So here's what's going to happen. I'm going to tell you where she is after you do a little something for me. Don't worry Calx, you're good at this kind of stuff, I know you are, so it'll be easy. hell, I'll even let you take your two friends here with you to help. As Stefan puts the cigarette back in his mouth he asks,
Sound Fair?
-
renegade saw that the army kept on coming so he used some "explosives" (special nanobots that explode on impact in side a missile he shot about 4 and at different places to maximize the damage
-
Stefan looked at Astrid, then at Calx. The amount of times he'd put her life in a psychotic man's hands was beginning to worry him.
Explosives. I should have known this guy was trouble when Calx said he was an explosives expert.
"Ugh... I don't know how you can live with these things in your house. Filth? Radioactivity? Fine. But explosives? Listen, I'll do whatever this chore is you want. I just need a phone call.
-
The man in the hawaiian shirt claps his hands together.
Well, I don't have to worry about Calx cause as long as I know that he wants to see his cute little Nex again, he'll listen. Now you on the other hand...Stefan says as he stand up, walking into another room.
Calx lets out a cough and sits up, staring angerly at the two on the couch.
"I told you to wait...now he's got us around his finger..."
Over the rustling of steel hitting steel, a "Found it!" can be heard, and Stefan slides back into the room, waving a steel ring in his hand.
Now this is something that I absolutely love. I call it a Slave Collar because I can get someone to do whatever I want with it. For some reason, everyone is afraid of the charge that is withing this ring. I mean, it takes off your head, but the explosion isn't much bigger than that. Now, I'm going to put this on your lady friend here and then you three can get going on my classroom assignment.
-
The fellow in the green hair was approaching Astrid with a particularly uncomfortable-looking explosive necklace. A vein popped in Stefan's mind.
This guy's insane if he thinks I'm letting him put that on her.
"Uh.... Steffy? Do something."
Stefan didn't reply he was too busy considering his options.
Are we even sitting on explosives? He IS a liar. But then, he's also an explosives expert, so he's have no reason NOT to put a trap like that up. Maybe If I push her off the couch fast enough, she can be out of range before it blows. What am I thinking? I can't risk someone else's life like that.
He made his decision as soon as the demolitions dealer was within his arm's reach. He grabbed the mosshead by the collar of his hawaiian shirt, yanking his head inches away from the cushion of the couch, inserting the barrel of his colt into the bastard's mouth.
"Yeah, that's not gonna fly, man. I'll put up with you manipulating me into a position where you've got me under your thumb, but if you think I'm letting you strap that thing onto Astrid, you're crazier than Calx. I could kill you right now. Those bombs in the couch? I've got friends. A few phone calls and we'll be walking. So, kindly, consider an alternative to strapping fiery death to my friends."
-
Another dream. Demos was in a room, surrounded with white walls. He felt pain all over, and looked down. His body was torn up, blood was everywhere, he could taste it.
He wasn't dreaming.
Demos began to sit up, but the pain was too intense, he couldn't move more than a few inches. He would have to wait...
I don't like waiting.
I'll have to deal with it.
I can't wait, I need to go there.
Where is this place again?
The place where I fell, in the dream.
The place was familiar to him. He remembered going there once as a kid. He didn't like the city then, and now it would be worse. But he had to go back.
-
anfff ou oo uuuu laaaaa oooo eeeiinnn ooo eee oonnneee?
"andhowdoyouplanongettingtothephone"
Calx watches the cigarette previously in Stefans mouth roll across the floor, spinning in an off circle, slowly making its way to a liquid on the floor.
If Stefan dies, then there's no point to this
They didn't listen to you and got themselves into this situation
That doesn't mean I'm leaving them
Why not?
because Stefan needs to live dammit!
Calx dives at the cigarette, and pulls out his knife. He puts the blade to the man in the Hawaiian shirt's throat, and the lit cigarette to Stefan's eye.
"Now you're both going to do as I say. Modus is going to put the gun down and Stefan is going to back away from the couch."
His face is shriverled with rage
"ARE WE CLEAR SOLDIERS?"
-
Crimson continued to wind down the road. He came to a city. The streets were bare. No one, except for an occasional group of shady looking teenagers, was on the sidewalks and alleyways. Stopping the bike to get some food, he remembered that he had no money. That's just great, and besides, someone might recognize me from omnicide. Suddenly, one of the boys ran at Crimson with a switchblade. With a quick kick to the gut, the boy fell to the ground and released the blade. Crimson picked up the knife and looked at kid, Be careful who you mess with.. He got back on the motorcycle and drove off.
-
Stefan snapped back to reality when he saw the burning ashes of the cigarette stop milimeters from his eye. His only eye. An ash fell from it, burning the skin below his eye slightly.
Removing his gun from the liar's mouth, Stefan silently apologized to his his Muay Thai instructor.
Don't let anyone push you around. That's what you said, right? Stick up for yourself. How am I supposed to do that now?
-
renegade looked at the opposing army and saw two rockets heading at his copter he then said "oh snap"as the rockets hit the copter
-
Well it seems that we are at a bit of a conflict. I can't just let you off of there, you seem to be a little cross with me old chap he coughs as he stands up, producing another cigarette and lighting it, the collar still in his hand.
New plan. Calx, you deal with them and if you don't do as I say, you can kiss your chance goodbye.
Calx takes a step back from the two Stefans, and snuffs out the cigarette on the rotting coffee table. He begins to pace, and mumble to himself
"Whattodowhattodowhattodo"
He stops and turns to the man in the hawaiian shirt.
"Just give me the job, I'll do it and we can be gone. Stop twisting us around your finger."
Don't say mean things to your only source of information. And what about your friends? Are you just going to leave them here?
Calx looks at the two without turning his head.
"Ok lets make a deal. You answer one question, I go and do the job, and Modus stays here, but OUTSIDE of this hellhole. And by outside, I mean where he was supposed to be when I got here."
Ask your one question.
"Is she in the city?"
And here I thought you were going to waste it on another "where is she?" That's good of you to change. The answer is no.
"Then-"
You said one question. Now. He turns to Stefan and Astrid. I'm feeling entertained so I'm going to make you a deal. You two are going to have your own little job. Simple courier work, You take this- He points to a box on the rotting table -Package to the location on it, and everything is fine. No collar, no explosives, and you don't come back. Agreed?
-
Stefan holstered his colt. the barrel would need some serious sterilization later.
"Fine. We'll deliver the package. Care to deactivate the bombs we're sitting on?
-that is, assuming they actually exist."
He didn't want to be made a fool of. He was cautious, not stupid.
-
Good boy. Now then... Stefan returns to the room the brought the collar from, followed by more steel friction sounds. The sound of a door shutting can be heard, followed by a loud thunk. An intercom crackles to life from behind the TV.
You're free to go now. They have been dissarmed, and I've locked myself into this room for the time being. Now Calx, all you have to do is get me some iodine. You know where you can find it.
-
Kain grabbed his sniper when the alarm went off. He went to a higher floor, and loaded his sniper. He noticed a fuel tank nearby. There were mines all over, and men were walking across them. They didn't even slow down. Kain fired a shot at the fuel tank. It exploded, detonating all of the mines caught in the explosion, and killing a lot of men. He continued firing. He hadn't used his sniper in a while. He wasn't as accurate as he used to be. ((What country are we in?))
-
Stefan and Astrid stood up from the couch. He could swear he saw the face of his old boxing rival in the water damage on the walls. Nikolai. He was grinning, laughing at him.
That's it, then? C'mon Cadogan, let's see what you're made of.
"Shut your mouth, damn Ruskie," He muttered as he picked up the box.
Astrid followed him up the stairs and out the door. Stefan led her west, which seemed to be the fastest way to get to the ocean.
"Did you just call that mosshead a Ruskie?"
"Nah, just thought I saw someone."
"Alright, where are we going?"
"The harbor."
"But... that address is nowhere near the harbor."
"We're not taking this box to the address on it."
"What? Why not?"
"Because that pyromaniac doesn't have anything else to threaten me with. We're out of that nuclear holocaust of a home of his, and you don't have that collar around your neck. The only thing left of his that we're anywhere near is this box."
"Yeah.... so?"
"I'm not doing any favors for him. That freak tried to strap a bomb to your neck. What if this thing is a bomb? What if he wanted us to deliver it to a hotel so he could blow it up? I'm throwing it in the ocean, and we're changing our clothes. I wouldn't put it past that guy to drop a tiny bomb on our shirts without telling us. If he doesn't give Calx the information he wants, so be it. We have time as long as we're not under his thumb."
The rest of their journey was more or less silent. They made it to the harbor and Stefan disposed of the package. With what money he had from before being tossed in Omnicide, he bought some new clothes for himself and Astrid, as well as stealing a leather jacket. After killing three people, he didn't think theft would have much of an effect on his record if he was ever turned in to the pathetic excuse for government that still tried to control the collapsed world.
-
Kain ran out of ammo, and went to the armory. He looked for some ammo that he could use for his sniper, but they didn't have any.
Sh*t, now what do I do?
Kain looked for a map. Maybe he could find out where they were, and where he could find some ammo. He found one, and figured out where they were. They were about 18 hours from Bristol(in a vehicle).
My house is in Bristol. Hopefully, no one figured out how to get past my security system. I should have plenty of ammo there.
Kain broke a window and climbed out. He got in the car he stole. All of the mines had been detonated, so Kain just drove straight through the men, and started driving to London.((I'm going to bed, it's almost 11:30 and I have stuff going on tomorrow. I'll be back on in 6-7 hours))
-
Calx tosses a brown bag onto the table, and looks around calling out
"I did your stupid little fetch quest. Now where is she?"
The intercom crakles on again.
Calx, Calx, Calx. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, why so for one of the angry ones?
"Answer dammit."
There is a small group of riffraff that set up camp in the city to the north of this one. Because you weren't around she had to go take them out herself. It shouldn't really be a problem, and she should be back soon. Feel free to wait here. I can let her know that you're in town.
"No thanks! I've dealt with you for more than enough time! I'll be on my way before you try to make me sit on a mine."
Calx silently climbs up the stairs and out of what was left of the cellar door, with his hands in his pockets and his head hung low.
"Bother, bother, such a bother..." He mumbles as he walks down the street.
-
All of the nano bots (and I mean all of them) had piled a few steps away from the helicopter crashed they started making android boty and it turned on and said "booting up Troy.EXE"when it finished Troy said "so he finally stopes restraining me mwahahahahahahahah" a bullet went past his head and renegade said "I'm not dead yet" Troy then said "you won't be able to hit me the only reason you were good at everything was because you used my skill" renegade watched as Troy using the nano bots flew off (using nano bots to carry him off)renegade found the med kit in the copter he used a substance that would heal most on contact he then put some on his arm that had been torn up he then fainted from blood loss after using a distress becone
-
"Calx is gonna be piiiiiiiiiissed..."
"Why do you say that?"
"He told you to wait after you knocked."
"I assumed he meant 'wait for something to happen'. He should have elaborated if he meant to wait until he got there. How about a 'Whatever in the hell you do, do NOT go into that basement until I get there,' or maybe a, 'by the way, Modus, Stefan has explosives wired to everything in his home, so you might want to stay out of it.' Either way, there he is. I'll deal with it now."
Calx was wandering aimlessly down the street. Stefan didn't wave. He just approached him.
"Howdy neighbor."
-
(first with the army i am letting them blow themselves apart on the mines and i have a huge underground system that will let me keep them there and burn any one who makes it past the mines...)
Half of the attacking army had been wiped out.
Guss, launch the anti tank weapons.
Sir!
Guss hit a button and hundreds of rockets took off. They would be dead before night...
-
Deccers instinctively ducked at the sound of anit-tank missiles being fired.
Bloody hell, does this guy know the meaning of overkill?
'Alright guys, on your feet. Time for some tactics training.'
He ambled around the compound, the corridors seemed pretty much empty. Apparently the place was in lockdown. Eventually, he found an empty classroom.
'Okay guys, have any of you heard of the flanking manouver?' He began.
-
Kain ran out of ammo, and went to the armory. He looked for some ammo that he could use for his sniper, but they didn't have any.
Sh*t, now what do I do?
Kain looked for a map. Maybe he could find out where they were, and where he could find some ammo. He found one, and figured out where they were. They were an hour away from London.
My house is in London. Hopefully, no one figured out how to get past my security system. I should have plenty of ammo there.
Kain broke a window and climbed out. He got in the car he stole. All of the mines had been detonated, so Kain just drove straight through the men, and started driving to London.((I'm going to bed, it's almost 11:30 and I have stuff going on tomorrow. I'll be back on in 6-7 hours))
((Fry commented on a harbor. London ain't on the coast buddy.))
((I thought that since it took you guys longer to get to the city that you're in, that my char would go to a different city so that it doesn't take as long. But I can edit my post and say Bristol, and then end up in the same town as you guys. Maybe I could find one of the executives of Omnicide ask you guys for help or something.))

((I see the "one hour" part now...forgiveness pl0x))
-
So what are you going to do now
head north of course
And what do you plan on doing after that?
I'll know when i get there
Calx turns right and begins to head for the next city.
-
No reaction from Calx. Either he had the information he wanted, or Green Stefan didn't fulfill his part of the deal.
Either way, Calx started heading north.
"Uh... Calx? Are you okay?"
-
He turns to look at the girl,
"Going this way now. Leaving the city..." He states quietly, continuing on his way.
-
Money, money. Where can I get some money?
Crimson continued riding through the streets. The whole city reeked of smoke. Half tobacco and... half something else. There was an obvious problem on his mind. He needed money, or else he wouldn't be able to survive. His eyes moved to a figure in the alley. A drug dealer from the looks of it. They always have money. Crimson parked the chopper by the curb, and walked to the man. He revealed the blade he acquired earlier and held it up to the man.
Gimme whatever money you have.
He immediately handed over all he was carrying.
Speak of this to no one or you'll be sorry.
With the money now in his pocket, Crimson got back on the bike and rode off.
-
"Okay, then. Do we have the location of Miss Nex?"
Stefan and Astrid followed Calx, whom was in all likelihood still sore from their disobeying his extremely vague orders.
-
"This way now..." He says continuing along his planned route.
He no longer cared that his rifle was an obvious give away to who he was, he just wanted to get out of the city.
-
The pair followed Calx about two meters behind him.
Astrid grabbed Stefan by the wrist, whispering into his ear.
"What's wrong with Calx? He's acting like a zombie."
Stefan turned his head towards her slightly.
"I dunno. The guy got shot by someone who is allegedly his crazy deterrent. Combine that with the fact that he's already pants-on-head insane, and you've got one unreadable killer."
As he looked forward, Stefan stopped dead. Another checkpoint. This one was heavily guarded, not like the ones he'd passed on their way here. A lone officer moved out towards them, planting himself inches in front of Calx, whom he towered over.
"Exit from the city is off limits, pal."
-
Contiuing to walk foreward, with his head held low, Calx unsheathes his knife, plants it into the stomach of the officer, and contiues to walk as he pulls the serraded edge out from the man. The officer silently crumples behind him, Calx oblivious to the officers reaction, sheaths the bloody knife, and draws his beretta, head still facing the ground.
-
"What'd I say? Now, I strongly recommend you find cover until this is over."
The rest of the officers drew their weapons, aiming them at Calx. Astrid disappeared behind a building and Stefan threw up his hands, approaching the checkpoint. One of the cops turned to him, lowering his pistol.
"Are you with this crazy bastard, kid? I'd get out of here."
Stefan tilted his head slightly. He got the idea that reasoning with these people wouldn't get him very far. Pretending to be crazy? Maybe that would yield better results. Good thing he remembered the interrogation scene from the Dark Knight.
"Why yes, I am. The two of us and our fine lady friend are trying to leave the city, as you may have noticed. We don't want to be here a few minutes from now."
The officer took a step back, raising his weapon again.
"...What did you two do?"
"Us? We didn't do... anything. Our comrade a few blocks from here, on the other hand, may very well have caused a small issue by the docks."
"What!? Listen, if you've done anything to the docks, I swear I'm gonna-
"Nothing's happened to the docks... Yet. If I were you, I'd get there relatively soon, before-"
Stefan was interrupted by a decent-sized explosion coming from the docks a good two blocks away. Water shot high enough in the air to be seen over the stores.
"...Oh, too late. You might still want to get there before the residents of the area bleed to death."
The officer seemed torn between investigating the explosion and taking Stefan in for investigation. Most of his comrades had already left.
"I'll get you for this, kid."
He took off.
You know, it would have been simpler for him to just shoot me. I guess he's still trying to hold on to the old world.
-
As Calx approached the checkpoint with his pistol drawn, smashing the handgrip on the side windows, cracking some, and shattering others. He didn't notice anything or anyone, his only goal was to move foreward.
-
Stefan beckoned to Astrid, who came out from behind the wall.
"How did you know that box had a bomb in it?"
"I didn't. I just figured that anything that guy had someone else deliver for him couldn't be good. At the very least, they would have spent a good hour or two searching under water for the thing, only to find out it was full of Rubiks Cubes."
The two of them hurried out of the city once again following Calx wherever he was going.
-
With a deep sigh, he holsters his beretta.
How far is this city?
Doesn't matter
Do you know what you are looking for?
Just heading north and hoping for the best.
He looks up at the sun, which has finished its ascension and has begun to lower in the sky.
"Aren't either of you hungry?"
-
Kain had been driving for a while now. He was only about three hours away from Bristol. When he was only an hour away, he saw a car that had caught on fire. He couldn't tell what kind it was because it was so burnt.
I wonder how that happened
-
"You know... come to think of it..."
Neither Stefan nor Astrid had eaten in two days. Had Stefan known how to make fire out of Agate, he would have had a large deer the night before. He checked his pockets for any money he might have left.
"I've got... ten dollars, three pounds, and what looks like one thousand Columbian pesos. Can I afford a meal for three people? I think not."
-
Kain was getting impatient. He started going faster. After about 45 minutes, he was there. He drove by three people, and almost ran them over. He didn't realize that he just drove past Stefan and Calx. After ten more minutes, he was at his house. He turned off the security system and stepped inside. It was two stories high, and had a basement. He grabbed everything that he could sell, and grabbed all of the ammo in his house.
I wonder if my car is still here.
He grabbed his car keys, which were sitting on a table. He walked into the garage. His Mustang was still there. He had installed a small computer where the radio had been, which could hack other computers, find files on almost anyone, it was also a better radio, and it could do some more awesome stuff. He had also made some modifications so that it would go faster. He got in and opened the garage door. He drove out onto the street, and looked for shops to sell his stuff to. He had 500 pounds after he was done selling all of the stuff that he brought. Then he drove back to the checkpoint that he had passed. This time he stopped when he saw the people he had passed. He saw Calx, Stefan, and Astrid. He stopped the car when he was next to them and rolled the window down.
"What are you guys doing?"
((Kain's car is a Blue '69 Mustang with two white stripes on the side))
-
Continuing along his designated path, Calx pulls out his knife and grinds it against the side of the blue Mustang creating a deep, long scratch all the way down the body, the shriek of steel rubbing against steel filling the air.
"Food, food, food..." He chants under his breath, passing the car, and returning his knife to the sheath.
-
"What the hell Calx? Do you know how important this damn car is to me? You're paying to get it fixed you bastard!"
-
Stefan and Astrid hurried after Calx, the promise of food luring them in. Astrid stopped for a moment by Kain's window.
"I wouldn't try reasoning with him right now. He's in his own little world."
She jogged slightly to catch up with the other two.
-
Kain was hungry too. He was pissed at Calx, but he didn't remember anywhere that he could eat. All of the food at his house was 3 years old. He decided to follow them, since Calx looked like he knew where he was going.
-
Deccers completed his explanation of outflanking the enemy. These guys weren't just used to fighting with ancient weapons, their knowledge of tactics was limited to little more than 'Charging' and the pincer movement.
To round off the day, he figured he'd do some shooting practise. Normally, this would be conducted on a range. Today, however, was different. He led the group to the roof, keeping low to prevent themselves being an easy target. The large enemy forces had been all but obliterated. The small remainder were putting up a bit of a fight about 200m from the compound fence.
'Alright lads, line up your target with the arrow on your sight. Slowly exhale, taking up the slack on the trigger. When you've finished the breath slowly squeeze the trigger. Don't jerk it back, it'll spoil your aim. To minimize recoil, keep the butt of the rifle firmly in the meat of your shoulder. Any questions?' He paused, unsure that'd he'd covered everything. But none of the men spoke up.
'OPEN FIRE!'
-
Only 10 or 20 men had survived the attack, and now Deccers was using them for target practice. I walked up to him.
So how are your guys doing?
-
'Seriously? It's like these guys have never heard of the 22nd century.'
He shook his head.
'But... They learn quick, gimme a couple more days and I'll have two fully functioning squads.'
-
Good because in a week we go on the attack. For too long have I sat and watched the rich rule this world. Now it is our turn. Did you ever wonder why they only use swords? It is because before a year ago we had no money to fund this army now we do. I will let you get back to work.
I jumped down from the roof and went back in to get some food...
-
Deccers turned round to his guys. They'd stopped firing as the last of the soldiers made it out of range.
'You hear that?' He almost laughed in disgust.
'He wants to take over the world.' This time he did allow himself a little chuckle.
'Sir, Rex is our leader. Why do you question him?'
Deccers pushed his face close to that of the outspoken man.
'Do you want to die? Would you aimlessly lay your life down for the man you call leader?'
The man's face turned pale. 'Err... I guess not.'
Deccers smiled. 'Thats the right choice, lance-coporal. Listen up people!' He yelled to get their attention.
'From now on, you answer to me, and only me! In return, I keep you alive! Is that a deal?'
-
Deccers is going to be a pain in the neck. Guss, when he is done, get rid of him. No one will stop me, not even him.
Yes sir.
Guss left the room. I was left alone to my thoughts. What if it doesn't work? It will! It has to... There are to many people living in poverty, i have to make the rich feel the pain that I felt.
-
"Thrift, thrift Horatio! The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish the marriage tables!" His attention snaps foreward and he stops, and dashes off the road into the trees.
"Not where he eats, but where he is eaten." He says, making his way up yet another tree.
"I don't reccomend staying there." He calls.
-
Someone's shadow went over renegade's body and they said "maybe he is still alive"
-
I wonder if Steve still owns that shop. Maybe he can fix this car.
"I'm going to go see if a friend of mine still lives here. Hopefully he can fix my car."
Kain drove to the shop that his friend had owned. He was outside, working on a car. He looked up when Kain drove up to him. Kain got out of the car.
"Is that you Kain? I haven't seen you for two years!"
"Yeah, it's me. I need to know if you can fix this scratch."
Kain pointed at the huge scratch that Calx had made.
"I don't think I can fix it, but I can try to hide it. We'll have to repaint it. I'll do it for free too."
"Thanks, I need the money."
Kain told him what colors he wanted the car to be painted, and they started working.
-
Calx's sudden outbursts were beginning to sharpen Stefan's more primitive senses. Before the sniper had finished his climb up the tree, he'd grabbed Astrid by the collar of her shirt, diving behind a shrub.
Peering between the leaves, he couldn't make out much of anything. The passerby appeared to be alone, at least. He waited a bit for the traveler to pass until his back was to the brush. He risked a glance outside his cover. It was a big guy, to say the least. nearing seven feet tall. He had a Vz.83, the submachine gun appearing tiny in his arms. More importantly, he had a sandwich poking out of his bag. Gigantic armed men are usually a bad sign, but Stefan was feeling daring. Or perhaps he didn't want to kill more people in a single day. One way or another, he was taking that man's food. He stepped out from the safety of the bush, approaching the traveler.
"Hello, sir. You wouldn't happen to have any spare food for a poor, tiny escapee, would you?"
The limber figure turned around, shouldering the tiny SMG.
"Mhm. I guess not."
OkeydokewhatdidTVtropessayaboutavoidingahugeasssprayofbullets? Oh, right. Get on your back.
Stefan kicked his legs forward as if he was trying to perform a backflip. Only, he wasn't in the air. So instead, he crashed to the ground, landing on his spine. It stung, but the flying balls of death that flew over his head at the same time made him decide that maybe the sting wasn't so bad.
As the giant fellow was processing what had just happened, Stefan drew his revolver, aimed at the man's torso, and pulled the trigger.
Click. Click. Clickclickclickclick.
It was empty. How? He'd checked the cylinder just last night, and there were six FMJ rounds in it. That didn't matter now, though, because the large fellow with the loaded gun was regaining his senses. The Vz was aimed at Stefan again.
Meh. That's what I get for being considerate.
Bang.
A red mist spouted between the aggressor's eyes, and he collapsed immediately.
"Oh, thanks Calx. I wouldn't have minded it if you-"
Stefan never finished that sentence. He didn't finish because it wasn't Calx that fired that round. It was Astrid, shaking, with her 1911 cradled in her hands. She was a killer now, just like the rest of them.
-
Calx lets out a laugh from the branches, poking his head out from between the leaves to face the two.
"Is it not monstrous that this player here,
But in a fiction, in a dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That from her working all his visage wann'd,
Tears in his eyes, distraction in's aspect,
A broken voice, and his whole function suiting
With forms to his conceit? and all for nothing!" He states pointing at the crushed meal.
-
Stefan stood up, brushing the dirt off his back. He limbered over two the dead giant, and the crushed sandwich underneath him. Edible? Not with a giant man's buttox flattening it against the dirt road. A snake slithered out from under the corpse. Stefan unsheathed his knife and dove on it, cutting its head off. He lifted the body and turned to the others.
"I've never eaten snake before. I wonder what it tastes like when someone prepares it who doesn't know the first thing about the wilderness."
-
Taking in a full 360 degree view of the area, Calx spots a group of tents deeper in the forest.
There
He looks over at the two, struggling to skin what looked like a snake. With his goal so close, he wasn't waiting.
He hops down from the tree, and silently makes his way towards the camp.
-
Crimson stopped at a seven-eleven. He pushed through the door and looked into the shop. There was a woman behind the counter. She was about 30 and obviously had a tobacco issue, judging by her teeth, and the horrid, wheezing cough that she produced every few seconds. Crimson walked into the bathroom, and then into the stall. He sat down on the seat and brought the knife out of his pocket.
I can't risk people noticing me. Grabbing a clump of hair, he raised the blade to his head and cut through his hair. He did this repeatedly until his hair was dramatically shorter. The hairs that were cut off were dropped into the toilet and flushed into the sewer. He stepped out of the stall and looked into the mirror.
Not bad. Not. Bad. Walking out into the main part of the store, he grabbed a few pre-made ham and cheese sandwiches and a few bottles of Gatorade. He paid the clerk for the stuff, got walked back to the motorcycle, and drove off, looking for a way out of the city.
-
renegade woke up and saw someone he new and hadn't seen in awhile renegade then said "haven't seen you in a while leena" leena was a girl same age and good with knives she then said "took you long enough to wake up" renegade then said "well i have to tell you something " she then cut him off before he finished and said "i already know he came and released vivian" renegade then said "well we need to train then"
-
Stefan was fumbling with the unfamiliar handle of his knife when he noticed Calx leave the cover of the tree, heading deeper into the woods. On closer observation, he saw a fire in that direction. Dropping the snake, he moved after Calx.
Hunting isn't my thing. I should change that, but I really don't see myself having the time for that before this little journey comes to an end.
-
Drawing a berretta in each hand, Calx walks into the camp. Everyone seemed to be sleeping, as if preparing for or recovering from something after dark. Counting 8 tents, he puts his pistols away and reveals 10 small grey blocks with a plastic box on each, placing one about a foot outside all but the one tent he wished to go inside.
Making his way to the largest tent, he silently walks inside. The gigantic mound of a man was sleeping there, the dirty blanket nowhere big enough to cover him. Calx giggles a little and quickly stops as the man stirs slightly. Pulling his Beretta out he takes aim at the hulks head for an easy kill. The gunshot echoes throughout the camp, if anyone was still asleep they weren't now.
Holstering his beretta and unsheathing his knife, he starts slashing at the tent nylon, leaving nothing but shreds and the frame. From the outside he can be seen standing on what one would call the leader of the camp.
All of the lackeys begin to claim the life of Calx from the openings of their tent, going back inside to grab their knives and other close combat weapons.
Pulling out a detonator, out of all the things he does he begins to sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqxCL8n2LD8&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_525594)
"This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
Its true I was vague on the How
so how can it be that you have shown me the light?
Its a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That youre gonna die
How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
Its a brand new day"
He pulls the trigger, the beautiful mixture of orange flame and red flesh fill Calx's eyes, and a his psychotic laughter being muffled by the sound of the blast.
-
Stefan almost followed Calx right into the camp. Almost. Something Green Stefan had said made him hesitate. Something about nailing arms to phone poles. Rather, he waited outside the camp for a few minutes. He wasn't disappointed. A gunshot rang out from one of the tents. Soon, the camp was a beehive of activity. Drowzy, armed men were filing out of the tents. Calx slashed the christ out of a large tent, reducing it to wood and ribbons from the inside.
The apparent soldiers were surrounding Calx now. He made no move to dispatch them, not even holding a weapon anymore, just a black rectangular object. In fact... was he... SINGING?
"This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
Its true I was vague on the How
so how can it be that you have shown me the light..."
At the end of his song, things became decidedly less fun for the soldiers. Massive explosions tore them to shreds, turning flesh into red mist, tents to black shreds of fabric flying through the air. Calx was laughing, the perfect image of a complete sociopath. Stefan didn't get to see any of this though, because the moment he saw something explode, he dove behind a tree. Only one thing in the world really made him scared, and that was tiny, sharp items flying through the air at fatal speeds. Shrapnel. Shrapnel can take out eyes. And explosions are choc-full of the stuff.
-
Calx's face began to itch, but when he scratched it, it stung.
is this...mine? He wonders looking at his hand, this blood was fresh, not caked on and dry like the rest. His right palm had a small piece of glass in it. Sitting down to pull it out, he became aware of an even larger pain. This one in his right shoulder. The scar from his bullet wound had been crudely reopened, and a piece of metal had pushed the bullet deeper into his shoulder, restricting his movement.
Thats what you get retard.
Calx turns around to find the source of the insult, to be greeted by the butt of a rifle, the impact knocking him out cold.
-
When the explosions stopped sounding out anew, Stefan lifted his head out of the ground, checking back on the camp. Everything was dead or on fire, most of them both. Calx was lying on the ground, his face covered with blood and glass. Standing over him was... a girl. She was holding a rifle, though by the fact that it wasn't at all a close quarters weapon suggested she hadn't shot much.
What Stefan SHOULD have done was to find Astrid, take her pistol, and drop the girl. Or so he would have thought ten minutes ago. He knew Calx was insane, but he didn't quite understand the gravity of his case until he'd seen an entire camp of people blown to pieces while the sniper sang and laughed. Maybe this girl was on to something.
Doing an incredibly less-than-wise maneuver for the second time in so many minutes, Stefan stepped out of the brush, approaching the two figures in the center of it all. Calx's assailant was particularly young-looking, with silvery hair and even sporting a schoolgirl's uniform. In fact, he would go so far as to describe her as downright cute.
He waved to her, calling out. Stefan wasn't much of a soldier.
"Howdy, partner!"
-
She looks back at the brown haired boy with a blank stare.
Have you been taking care of this idiot? She inquires, giving Calx a bit of a kick as she asks.
-
"Well gee. You talk a lot differently than you look. To answer your question, though...
Hm... It depends on what you mean. I've probably kept him from killing ten or twelve people since we met, but taking care of him? I think I'd have an easier time telling a river to change course."
-
Sir, the army has been distroyed. It will be months before they send another army this way.
Good, then we have time to attack them.
This was going beter then I had dared hope for, soon I would reverse the balance of power.
-
Demos, after a long time of pain and trial, was able to get up, and, with great difficulty, walk. He went to the door, which he opened, and was greeted by a man in a white coat. The man turned at the sound of the door, and his face formed a surprised expression.
"You must stay in your room. I can't allow you to leave in your current condition."
Demos made a few more steps forward, putting a knife on the doctor's chin.
"Are you sure about that?" Demos replied, pushing his knife up until blood trickled down it.
The doctor stumbled backwards into his chair. The way his head hung said everything. Demos left. He continued to walk out of Rex's base, until he reached a road. He followed the road in the direction of a city. He knew it would take a long time, and a lot of pain, but he didn't care. He had lost everything else.
-
After a few others, they were done. The scratch was still there, but it wasn't as noticeable.
"That's the best I can do to hide it."
"Thanks Steve. The new paint looks better too."
They said goodbye, and Kain drove back to the checkpoint. Stefan, Calx, and Astrid weren't there. He heard a gunshot, and then some screaming, and more gunshots.
"Is someone... singing?"
Everything went quiet, and Stefan stepped out of some brush.
Kain got out of his car and walked to the clearing. Calx was lying on the ground, and a girl with a rifle was standing over him.
"What just happened?"
-
She brushes her freehand through her hair.
Pick him up, we're leaving.
-
"Uh... okay?"
Stefan slung Calx's bloody body over his shoulder, beckoning to Astrid.
"Say... Would you happen to be Nex?"
-
As darkness fell on the base, Deccers realised he'd been pushing his men too far. You could only absorb so much information in one day.
'Okay guys, we're finished for the day.' He announced, mid way through explaining the finer details of countering an ambush.
'Go grab some food and some kip. We'll be up bright and early tomorrow. Oh, and never let your weapon out of sight. You eat with it, you crap with it and you sleep with it.'
They slowly filed out, completely shattered by the looks of things. Deccers sighed, he'd promised to keep these guys alive, and he was undermining Rex's authority. At some point in time, he'd need to be thinking about getting out. But where?
-
...Yes She states quietly, turning and beginning to walk foreward.
The walk was quiet an uneventful for Stefan Calx Astrid and Nex, a main factor being Calx was unconcious and being carried by Stefan.
They arrived at what appeared to be a ruined cottage, rotting and covered in moss.
Inside... She says, walking everyone in.
The exterior of the home was no where near what the condition of the house was on the inside. Everything was clean and well kepted, the entire house composed of a large main room, and a smaller, bathroom off to the side.
This house still has running water...feel free to use it. She says as she props her Springfield M25 "White Feather" (http://sheppardsports.com/whiteFeather.jpg) in a corner, and sitting down on the well preserved couch.
-
Stefan set Calx down on the floor. After watching him blow an undisclosed number of people to hell, he wasn't entirely fond of being in contact with the insane killer.
"So... I'm Stefan, and this young lady is Astrid. We've been with Calx since that big breakout that you probably know about, though I'm not entirely keen on the idea of informing you if you don't."
-
Silence.
Nex was too busy staring at Calx to respond to Stephan's introduction.
Snapping back to reality, she asks,
Are you hungry?
-
Stefan had to consider the question for roughly zero seconds.
"Well, let's see... We've been traveling for about two days, and every haphazard attempt I've made at eating so far has failed. So yes, we're hungry."
-
I see... Nex walks to the fridge, and opens it. The power was out, but that didn't mean it couldn't be used for storage. She pulls out some cans from inside, two consisting of tuna, and the two others were sliced potatoes.
Getting to work, she begins to open the cans and light the gas stove in silence.
-
There was something about silence that made people uncomfortable. It was almost as if it was rude to be in the same room with someone and not engage in conversation. Miss Nex, however, seemed bent on talking as little as possible.
"So, Nex... Calx went through a lot of trouble to find you. You also might be pleased to know that there was virtually no killing involved in our trip here."
-
That's good...
Nex begins to fry the potatoes on the stove, adding small portions of salt and pepper from the above cabinet.
-
That's good? Jesus, if someone told me a month ago that I would explain to a woman that her friend and partner didn't kill *That many* people on his trip to find her, I... probably would have been at a bar on saint patrick's day.
"Not much of a talker, then. Alright, I'll shut up now."
-
Putting the now cooked potatoes on the plate, she begins to fry the tuna. Leaving the front of the stove, Nex rummages through the cubboard, and grabbing a yellow object and a bottle from them. A lemon, and olive oil.
Carefully slicing it in half, she squeezes one part into the pan, and splashes a bit of olive oil on, creating a loud sizzling sound.
-
The girl, Stefan, and Astrid walked away. Kain was hungry, and decided to get something to eat. He drove around town until he found a bar. It smelled like beer and smoke, just like every bar. He sat down and ate. Someone turned up the TV, which was in the corner near Kain. The news was on, and Kain's picture was on the screen, as well as Stefan's, Astrid's, and Calx's.
"Four of the participants of the Omnicide Games that escaped in the recent breakout have been seen in Bristol. The police don't know their exact location, but they're determined to find them."
Great, now the police are looking for us.
"One of the men who created Omnicide lives in Bristol, and he fears for his life. He believes that they came to the city to kill him. The police are offering a reward of one thousand pounds for each participant that is captured alive. There will be a smaller reward of seven hundred fifty pounds if they are killed. They are very dangerous, and it is advised that you are cautious when outside. They may be crazy, and will not hesitate to kill you."
The men in the bar started talking about what the reporter had just said. Then a man walked into the bar and recognized Kain. He pulled out a knife, and tried to stab Kain. Kain grabbed the man's arm, and threw him over the counter. All of the other men were staring at him. They all got out of their seats. A group of five men attacked Kain. He shot one in the leg, and kicked the other in the face. He grabbed another and threw him into the two men remaining.
"Do you know what Omnicide did? They're responsible for the death of my only friend. We were part of the S.A.S before we were brought to Omnicide, and now they're trying to kill me too. I don't think you want to be responsible for the death of someone from the S.A.S. If people found out, you would be killed."
The men wouldn't listen. They thought Kain was crazy. Kain fought until most of the men in the bar were knocked out, or unwilling to fight him anymore.
Kain walked out of the bar, and drove away.
I better find Stefan and Calx and tell them about this.
-
Finishing the tuna, Nex grabs some cultery out of the drawer. and divides the food into four portions. bringing two over to Stefan and Astrid and handing it to them.
-
Considering Stefan was ready to eat a raw snake from hunger, he was rather grateful for a nice meal of tuna and potatoes. Not that he particularly liked potatoes, but when you haven't eaten for two days, you don't complain about what's been fed to you. He finished both of them in precisely two bites, nearly choking on the second.
"Well... Thank you. A few more hours and I might have resorted to eating bark."
Then he asked the question that had been nagging at him since their visit to Green Stefan.
"... Nex. We visited your green-haired friend on our way here. He said you shot Calx the last time the two of you were together. Is that true? If so, why?"
-
...You went into the basement didn't you?
-
Stefan closed his eye. Apparently he wasn't the first guy Green Stefan'd screwed over with that deathtrap of a couch.
"To be fair, Calx told me to wait. He didn't at any point say, 'do not go in the basement no matter what you do'. Now, please answer my question."
-
She sits down on the couch staring into nothingness.
After a long pause, all she can say is
Yes...
Nex stands up, and walks to the bathroom, and returns with a roll of bandages, a tray and a pair of tweezers.
She sits down next to Calx, rolls him over, and begins to remove the shattered bits of metal and glass from his body.
-
"Yes. Yes you shot him. Should I just make believe that answers part two of that question? Why? I know he's crazy, but apparently you were fixing that. Why would you try to kill him?"
-
I didn't.
Finishing on the small pieces on Calx's face and hands, she removes his shirt to reveal the biggest problem.
A good sized piece of steel was wedged into his right shoulder. It refused to budge. Looking annoyed, she tries pulling a little harder. Failing, she tosses the tweezers away, and grabs onto it with her hands, pulling again, the sharp piece of steel cutting up her palms.
-
Nex was tearing the skin of her hands apart in her attempt to liberate a shard of steel from Calx's chest.
"Hm... Miss Nex, I strongly suggest you stop what you are doing immediately."
Stefan sat down next to her, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"I don't know how tough your hands get from pulling a trigger almost a mile away from your target, but being a Thai Boxer, I'm sure mine are a tad more resilient. So, please stop disabling yourself. Let me take care of it."
-
She stops, and begins to gnaw on her thumbnail in a very familiar fashion staring at the wound Calx created for himself.
-
"Ooohh... so THAT'S where he got that from."
Stefan reached into his pocket to see if he'd remembered to back his hand wraps. Traditionally, they'd be used to stabilize your wrists and minimize the bending they do on impact of a punch. By changing the pattern of the wrapping a bit, however.
And... He had them. Wrapping the fabric around his hands, he made one final attempt to make small talk with the Stoic sitting next to him.
"That was a depressing sight, you know? A pretty girl destroying her own hands in an attempt to pull shrapnel out of a friend. Fortunately for the both of you I was here. Otherwise this steal would never have left his chest, and you'd have a good set of severed tendons for your troubles. I'd recommend treating that, by the way. Don't wanna end up where I'm going in twenty years, with completely useless hands."
Securing the wrap on his second hand, Stefan grabbed hold of the metal jutting out of Calx.
Buddy, I know I'm gonna hate myself for this later. Kindly prove me wrong.
He pulled upwards on the metal. At first, he thought he'd gotten it out instantly. closer inspection revealed that he had, in fact, lifted Calx's chest about an inch off the ground.
"I'll hold him down."
Astrid, who'd been silent for a while, crouched down opposite Stefan, holding the sniper to the ground.
Pulling upwards once again, Stefan instantly felt the pain of the metal. It hadn't bitten through his wraps yet, but the sheer concentrated pressure was hell on his tendons. Resisting the urge to try shaking it lose, he pulled a bit harder. A slight tearing noise signaled the end of the use of his wraps. He could feel the metal now, cold, sharp, tearing into his hands. Before he'd started his Muay Thai training, this pain would have made him quit. Then again, that would make him seven years old.
Light pulling clearly wasn't working. Taking a deep breath, Stefan let up on the pressure for a moment. Taking two more deep breaths, followed by a shallow inhale, he pulled the metal towards the ceiling one more time, emptying his lungs of anything even remotely air-like. This time, he barely even felt the shrapnel. It just launched itself out of Calx's body, flying out of Stefan's hands and embedding itself in the wall behind him.
"Uh... Mission accomplished, Nex. Sorry about the damages."
-
She was staring, wide eyed at Calx who was now completely awake. His lips moved, but not a sound came out. He began to gasp for air. It escalates to a cough, and blood flies out of his mouth.
The sheer pain preventing him from moving, he layed their wallowing in it.
-
"Dammit, Spock, I'm a Thai Boxer, not a field medic!"
Stefan backed away from Calx's immobile body. Pain relief was doable with breathing, to a point.
No amount of breathing properly can relieve the pain of being awake while someone tears a chunk of metal out of your ribcage.
-
Nex grabs her rifle with her bloodied hands, and takes a swing at Calx's head again, putting him down for the second time.
I...I p-panicked. she says, breathing heavily. She slumps to the floor, blood trickling down the side of the M25.
-
Stefan looked at Nex, then back at Calx. He was bleeding. A lot.
"Well, Miss Nex, I think it in Calx's best interest that you bandage up that wound on his chest before he bleeds to death."
-
She gives a nod, and picks the bandages up, wrapping it around him tightly. The bleeding slowed siginificantly, but it would have to be changed in a few hours.
Her work done, she leans back, balancing on her hands. The sting reminded her of what she tried to do not moments before, and she proceeded to tend to her own wounds. Tying the bandages off, she stands and returns them to the bathroom.
-
With Calx out cold and Nex in the other room, Astrid and Stefan were left alone.
"Uh... Stefan? Does Nex have any paper towels?"
"I don't know. Why, did you- ew...."
Calx's blood was caked along Astrid's arms and shirt. Stefan checked his hands. His wraps were ruined, that was for sure. There were cuts going along each of his palms, but by the feel of things, he hadn't cut anything important.
-
THe osund of running water can be heard from the bathroom. Nex returns with a wet washcloth and hands it to the girl.
Here...
-
Astrid took the cloth, wiping the blood off her arms. She didn't touch the blood on her shirt. The T-shirt she had on was, after all, white, and white doesn't mix well with moisture.
"Nex, how are your hands? That was pretty sharp for a broken piece of metal."
-
She looks at her hands, the red beginning to show through the bandages.
I'm fine... She begins to clean up from the ordeal earlier, taking the tray of shards, and tweezers to the kitchen sink, and begins to wash off the blood.
-
"You know something? I was expecting you to be... louder. More assertive. As far as deadly assassins go, you're pretty nice. Quiet, maybe. But nice."
-
She looks at him, and then at Calx. She produces a wad of bills from her skirt pocket, and hands it to Stefan.
We'll need some sort of painkiller. Would you mind going back into town and getting some for me?
-
Stefan reached out to take the money, but something stopped him.
"Nex... do you have a phone?"
-
Tears filled Deccers' eyes once again. The heavy beat of Iron Maiden,mixed in with the harsh crack of gunfire filled his dreams.
'IT'S A F*CKING AMBUSH!'
Rowan rolled towards him, his long, greasy, rocker's hair obscured his face. Deccers brushed it aside. Knowing that there would be blood; knowing that he wouldn't live much longer; but hoping, hoping that by some miracle, it wouldn't be true.
'...I've got sunshine, in a bag, you're useless...'
He groaned and hit his alarm clock, disabling the wake up call and checked the luminous display.
6 AM, my favourite time of day.
He rolled out of his bed, pulling his pistol out from under his pillow. He'd chosen to sleep in a dorm with his new recruits. He wanted to establish a sense of equality amongst them.
'RISE AND SHINE SUNSHINE!' They stirred slowly, but once fully awake made no hesitation in preparing for the day ahead.
-
With her other hand, she produces a small, black cellphone from her other pocket.
-
Crimson succesfully made it out of the city. He went into the woods on the outskirts of the city, walking the bike alongside him, and sat dwon under a tree and ate one of the sandwitches. Once he was done he went back onto the road. As he was driving he looked off to his side and saw a camp ground. It was a bloody mess. Bodies lay one the ground, the tents completely destroyed, shrapnel all over. There was some kind of explosion.
What happened here?
-
Stefan pocketed the money, accepting the phone. It was primitive. At least a fifty year old design, it showed off stunning flip-phone technology and terrible screen resolution. Fortunately, Stefan wasn't looking to play Angry Birds two. He just needed to make a call.
He dialed the number, putting the phone two his ear.
One ring.
Two.
Three.
"...Hello?"
"Anurak?"
"...Stefan."
"I got out."
"I heard."
Stefan stepped outside. He wanted this conversation to be private.
"Listen, when I got out, I took a girl with me. Her name's Astrid."
"The one that clearly wasn't the killer Omnicide was looking for?"
"Bingo. Anurak, for all the training you've put me through, bones you've helped heal, and protein shakes you've forced down my throat, what I'm about to ask you is a thousand times more important."
"What is it, Stefan?"
"...What do I do?"
"Asking for help? Interesting. I remember the last thing you said to me being something along the lines of 'I'm a grown man, Anurak. I can take care of myself.'"
"Oh, come on! You're supposed to be my teacher!"
There was a long pause.
"...Well, the way I see it you have two choices, seeing as most of the human race seems to want you dead. Turn the girl into a killer, or leave her and let her fend for herself. Goodbye, Stefan.
"W-wait!"
It was too late. The line was dead. Troubled, Stefan went inside, returned Nex her phone, and departed for the nearest city, excluding the one he'd just been framed for attempted massacring in.
-
Crimson continued down the road. He didn't want to be near the site when someone showed up. A cabin appeared on the left, and out of the cabin came Stefan.
Finally, a friendly face. Crimson pulled up beside Stefan.
"Stefan. It's been a while since..." Crimson looked around, not wanting to be heard by eavesdropping ears. He then spoke in a more hushed tone, being cautious of the surroundings, "Since the breakout from Omnicide."
-
"Omnicide."
Stefan turned around, resting his elbow on his opposite arm, tapping his index finder to his forhead.
"Omnicide, breakout. Omnicide, breakout."
He turned back to face the stranger, extending his arms out.
"Nope. Your face isn't ringing any bells."
-
"I'm not all that all surprised you don't remember me. I was fairly new. But you spoke to me a few times. Remember the name Crimson by any chance?"
-
In fact, Stefan vaguely remembered having a conversation about how much Rex sucks with a fellow named Crimson. Maybe he should mess with the kid a little anyway.
"Crimson... I don't really like Crimson. It's almost like a dark shade of pink, you know?"
-
"Yeah, I suppose it is. But it also happens to be my name."
-
Nex picks Calx's bloody shirt off of the ground. It was much heavier than expected, and upon cloer examination, a black, ppadded chestpiece of armor was underneath. The entry hole where the steel shard came in went right through a series of wires, which were connected to some sort of power supply. This armor seemed to have prevented most of the chest wounds, small pieces of glass and metal were stuck in the armor.
She throws it into a hamper on the other side of the room, and begins to change Calx's bandages.
-
Not entirely far away from Stefan, Astrid was left alone with two people she was coming to be more and more uncomfortable around.
I read a book about a world like this once. Something about all the good in the world, and a thimble. Thimble... I'm thirsty.
"Uhm, Nex? Do you have any water? Oh, if you have iced tea..."
-
She looks over to her, gives a nod, and walks over to the burnt out fridge. She grabs a can and gives it to Astrid, immediatley sitting back down beside Calx.
-
"Well, you clearly don't like to talk very much. That's okay. It makes it easier for me to talk to myself, because now I can just pretend that you're paying attention, right?"
-
She gives a slight nod and waits for Astrid to start.
-
Astrid took a small sip of her "iced" tea before beginning. Staring into the amber liquid, she said the first of what was sure to be a very embarrassing speech.
"I'm sure you figured this out, but I'm not like you, or Calx, or Stefan. I can't kill someone without even thinking, or punch a wall in without even scratching my knuckles.
"Maybe it's because I don't have a sketchy background. I loved my mom and dad, and we had a great life, compared to the rest of the world since the apocalypse. I don't even know why those Omnicide thugs picked up my brother, but when they did, they decided to take me, too. Funny how that works, isn't it?"
-
She looks down at her feet, thinking about what she said before looking back up at her to continue.
-
"I don't know, this is just all alien to me. Despite everything that's happened to the world, I didn't think I'd ever have to kill anyone, or see anyone be killed. I'm just... out of my element, you know? I want to be more useful, but... I killed someone right before we met you. I still feel like vomiting. This isn't for me.
-
Stefan had walked back toward the cabin. Crimson was unsure of what to do, so he lay down in the grass, sipping on a gatorade, and thinking about the past few days.
-
Kain continued driving around, looking for Calx, Astrid, and Stefan.
Where the hell are they? I don't have time for this, and I'm not searching in the woods. I'm going after that executive instead.
Kain drove back to Bristol. It took a few bar fights before he was able to find out where the man lived. He lived in a mansion, with a very complicated security system and lots of guards. He would have to wait before he could break in. He parked his car and pulled up the executive's file on his car's computer, and read it. After he was done, Kain just waited in his car.
-
'Dash. Down. Crawl. Observe. Sights. Fire. These words may mean the difference between life and death. The first thing you do when you come under effective enemy fire, and I MEAN effective fire, not just some idiot firing his AK into the air, is to DASH. You run to the nearest bit of cover and drop DOWN. Failing that, just run a few metres and hit the deck. Fingers crossed you won't be hit yet. The next thing you do, CRAWL to the left or the right, the guy aiming at you won't know where you've gone until you're shooting him. Now, you take your time. If you're still being shot at, look for muzzle flash. OBSERVE the scenery, if you don't see anyone, pick your least favourite squaddie. He's gonna get up and run to try and draw fire. Once you have located your enemy set your SIGHTS to the appropriate range. Finally, FIRE, let the enemy feel the full force of your firepower.'
Lecture over, he watched the guys sitting behind desks like school children. That was it, he'd taught them everything he knew. Time to put some of it into practise.
-
I walked into the room after Deccers had finished his little speech.
How long till they are combat ready?
-
'A couple of days. I want to get some training excercises done with blank rounds etc. I know there's a forest near here that would be perfect.'
-
Just wear these beacons so i know that the movement is you and not a scouting party.
I drop a few tracking beacons on one of the desks and walk out of the room....
-
'Sure thing.' He handed them out, there weren't enough for everybody.
Lucky me... He made sure not to take one himself.
'Down to the armoury lads, we're moving out.'
-
It was finally dark out. All of the lights in the house were off. Some guards started patrolling the yard. It took Kain about 15 minutes to hack the security system. He got of his car and sneaked into the yard. He climbed up the house until he was on the third floor, and climbed through a window. He avoided a couple of guards, and went to the top floor. He sneaked into the bedroom, where the executive was sleeping. Kain grabbed him, and pointed his pistol at the man's head.
"Please, don't kill me! I'll do anything!"
"Why should I let you live? You're one of the men responsible for killing the only friend I've ever had."
Five guards ran into the room. Kain turned so that the executive was in front of him.
"Let him go!"
"Let me out of this house. I could easily kill all of you."
Kain walked out of the room, and down to the bottom floor. He walked to the car, threw the trembling man into the back of the car, and knocked him out. The guards started shooting at him as he started the car, and started driving towards the checkpoint.
-
Wait... She grabs her rifle, and puts her back to the wall beside the window. Her face showing signs of fear.
Fog had rolled in extrordinarily fast.
Its back...
(http://p1cture.it/images/51370715860224625731.jpg)
-
Crimson's surroundings became engulfed in a thick fog. He stood up and drew his pistol...
-
Kain was getting close to the clearing. The executive had woken up a little while ago, and wouldn't shut up.
"Let me go right now! When you're captured, I'm going to make sure that you're tortured before you die!"
He kept talking.
"If you don't shut the f*ck up, I swear to god that I'm going to kill you!"
The executive ignored Kain, and kept talking. Kain shot the executive in the leg. The executive screamed in pain, and stopped talking.
"If you keep talking, I'll put a bullet through your head. Got it?"
The man nodded. When Kain got to the clearing, fog started rolling in. Within 15 seconds the fog was so dense that he couldn't see more than 15 feet in front of him.
What the hell? I've never seen fog roll in that fast.
-
Wandering through the woods, various pills and syringes in hand, Stefan was soon greeted with a thick fog.
Wow, this is really thick fog. And black. Hehe. Thick and black. Oh, racial stereotypes.
After wandering aimlessly in what he hoped was the direction of Nex's home, he met a strange, tall figure.
"Oh hi there. How are you this fine evening?"
The man - or whatever it was - did not reply.
"Can I at least get a nod? It's... you're like a brick wall, I'm getting nothing."
Its only reaction was a slight tilt of the head. With a jolt, Stefan realized why this thing wasn't responding. It had no face. He'd read about this thing somewhere. On the internet.
"Oh, well... I'm gonna, you know... leave now. Toodles!"
Stefan took a few steps back as the infamous man extended its arms towards him, turning around and bolting.
"Dammit, internet! Why do you know these things? I bet I'm gonna find a black suit with a question mark for a head in this fog, too!"
Sparing a look behind him, he noticed the mythical figure making no attempt to follow him.
GottafindNexgottafindNexgottafindNexgottafindNex...
-
Another figure became more visible in the thick fog. IT was carrying a bag, and running.
S-Stefan! Nex calls, trying to lead him in the direction of the house.
-
Stefan paused, hearing a voice. A feminine voice. Nex. He turned, moving in the direction of the voice. Rather quickly, the house came into view. He burst through the door.
"Oh, hey guys, how's it going? I'm gonna lock this door, okay?"
Shutting the door, Stefan turned around and locked it.
"So... I got the painkillers. And I definitely did NOT steal them."
-
It was still standing there, looking at her, or it would be if it had eyes.
Good...Inject him with some.
When she looks back to the thing, it appeared significantly closer than it was before.
Quickly! Her voice quivering. Nex smashes the window, and takes a shot at it. But it wasn't where it used to be again. This time it was even closer, and off to the right of the cabin.
-
Stefan pulled the needles out of the bag.
"Okay, I don't recognize ANY of these."
He dropped all six syringes on the ground, covering his eyes.
"Eenie meenie miny mo."
Stefan's finger landed on something labeled T-30.
"Eh... good a drug as any, I guess. Calx, you have a fifty percent chance of surviving this."
Picking it up off the ground, he approached Calx and injected him with the painkiller.
-
Demos was in a car with a man who looked as though he was used to battle. It probably wasn't a good thing, but he had offered Demos a ride to the city, so he couldn't complain much.
When they finally got to the city, Demos opened the door, or at least attempted to. The door was locked. He flipped the switch to unlock it, only to have it be locked again. He heard a click behind his head. Demos turned, greeted by the barrel of a 9 mm pistol.
"You didn't think I'd let you get away, did you? Demos, I'm smarter than you think."
"I don't know who the hell Demos is, but you've got the wrong guy." He slid a knife out from under his left sleeve (Assuming the driver is on the right side) and let the man respond.
"Don't be a fool. I have your picture, you are a perfect match."
"Even if I am this guy, what could possibly be your reward for killing me?"
"Money. And fame. Isn't that what everybody wants?"
"You never thought about if this Demos guy had friends? If you kill him, your fame could be your downfall."
"Perhaps. But maybe by the time they get to me, my friends will have killed them."
"How could a man like you ever have friends?"
"I think it's time you shut up."
"Kill me, then."
Demos shot his arm upwards, and through the man's wrist. It sliced through the tendons easily, and he dropped his gun. Demos picked it up, grabbed the man's wallet from the center console, and left the car. He slashed the tires before the man had time to recover from the pain and drive. Then Demos continued towards an abandoned building he hoped had a bed. When he got there, he took a long awaited rest.
-
Kain noticed the outline of a tall figure. It didn't seem to notice him. It was focusing on another figure. Kain threw the tied up executive in the car, and sneaked closer to the two figures.
Now that Kain was closer, he could see that it had no face.
What the hell is that thing?
The smaller figure ran away. Kain could here someone yelling. Kain looked away for a second. When he looked at the spot where the creature was, it was gone. It was like it had just disappeared. Then Kain heard a shot. He moved towards where the shot had come from, and saw the creature again. It was on the right side of a cabin. Kain fired a shot at it with his pistol, but it wasn't there anymore.
What the hell? It's like it just disappeared!
((What exactly is this creature thing with no face? I'm guessing it's from a horror movie.))
-
The men were ready, 48 hours worth of rations stored away in their packs. It would be long enough to last... last until what? What was the plan? Run away and hide in the forest? Live like Robing Hood from the olden days? Robbing the rich to survive?
They'd been mildly surprised when he revealed that he was lying to Rex. Each man carried one blank magazine, enough to bluff their way in case they were stopped. The rest were live, along with about a thousand loose rounds about their persons. Rifle ammunition didn't grow on trees.
Clouds covered the moon and stars as he silently led the group down to the vehicle bay. He'd carried out a recce earlier, they'd be taking two trucks. One was fitted with a mounted GPMG. As he'd not had the time to teach anyone else the drills, he'd be manning it himself. The next two in command would be driving.
-
Dammit! She says firing another round.
Nex drops the rifle and slides next to Calx, and begins to shake him.
Wake up, we have to go!
He begins to stir. Slowly opening his eyes, he begins to rub his head, and sit up.
"What the hell-augh!"
The pain of the wound spikes through his shoulder.
"Where am I?"
-
Stefan leaned forward, his head four feet directly above Calx's.
"Heya, buddy. You wouldn't happen to be an internet man, would you? If so, we've got the tall fellow lurking about out there. So, I'd wake up from your pain-induced and drug-sustained coma and get moving."
-
"Stefan? What are you doing here?" He turns to the girl sitting next to him. Completely in shock, he's incapable of saying anything. All he could do was stare, with a dumb look on his face. Turning back to Stefan he asks,
"Where are we?"
-
Stefan raised an eyebrow.
"You... really don't remember opening a massive can of rape on that encampment?"
Stefan nodded in the direction of Nex.
"Mission accomplished, by the way."
-
We're in the forest Calx. He snaps back to reality
"Forest...? Wait. Is this the cabin? We said we would never come back here because of-"
Its outside!
"Where's my rifle?"
Back at what's left of the camp.
"Camp?"
Its between you and your gun Calx.
He slams his fist against the floor.
"Dammit! We'll come back for it later. First we need to leave. Like now. Stefan, Astrid, follow us, we've dealt with this thing before."
Its different this time, it seems....agitated. Nex says, beginning to gnaw on her thumbnail. Calx catches a look at her hands. Deciding there was a better time to ask about it than now, he stands up, wincing at the pain in his shoulder.
"Ok, its time to head out. If someone collapses, pick them up, because you'll probably never see them again otherwise. Astrid and Stefan will run like hell, me and beautiful over here will cover you as you go. Any questions?"
-
Stefan looked at Astrid. She didn't seem to be having a very fun time.
"Well, I certainly don't want to touch that thing, and I've mysteriously lost all my ammo, so... sounds like a plan."
-
"Ok you are going to run..." he looks out the window,
"...that way." Calx says pointing in the opposite direction of the thing just outside the cabin.
-
Crimson wandered through the fog. His gun ready to fire. Through the fog a saw a faint figure. Stepping on a twig, the figure turned around. It had no face. Crimson stood still, unsure of what to do.
-
Stefan adjusted his breathing pattern. Running wasn't his favorite activity, but he could do it well enough if he kept most of the air out of his lungs.
"Alrighty. Just say when."
-
He looks out the window. Someone is standing in front of the thing.
"Go now. Nex, we have a friend in need over here." Calx says, pulling out one of his berettas.
She nods, and grabs her White Feather. Calx jumps out the window, and Nex aims through it, keeping her sight on the thing in the fog.
-
Stefan grabbed Astrid's wrist as he burst out of the cabin. She probably wasn't very fast, and he didn't want her being left behind.
"If we get out of this... I'm never going to doubt anything Anonymous says again."
"Wh-what is that thing?"
"Internet Myth. Makes people disappear."
No more oxygen was to be wasted on talking. Astrid stumbled occasionally as Stefan pulled her along through the bottomless blackness.
-
Both Crimson and the thing remain motionless. Crimson fears that if he moves the thing will attack. His eyes focus on movement behind the thing. A figure sneaking through the fog. He can't make out much, but he can tell that this person has light hair, a dark outfit, and slim body. Crimson just hopes that they are on the same side.
-
How did he get so close to it? Calx wonders, rushing towards the two. The larger thing slowly turned around, tilting its head to one side. He stops dead.
"You over there, I suggest running in the direction I just came from. I have a couple of friends over there that can help you out. Whatever you do, don't stop running."
-
Crimson simply nodded in response, and dashed toward his friends.
-
Turning to watch the person run, when he turns back to the creature, its gone.
No... Calx runs for the camp, fining his Barrett laying on the ground, covered in pieces of nylon.
He pulls out a long cylindrical tube that he picked up from Omnicide, rips off his rifle scope, and puts that in his pocket.
He mounts the new sight on it, and turns it on.
White hot...Black cold.
Looking through, he sees a large moving black figure. Heading straight towards the cabin. Taking a shot at it, the .50cal rips through the fog, landing at the creatures feet, and a clump of dirt explodes from below it.
"This way big guy!" He yells trying to get its attention.
-
The person picked up a rifle and shot at the... whatever it was. He missed by inches. Crimson raised his pistol, and shot. The bullet missed its shoulder by a few inches.
-
Dragging Astrid behind him, Stefan pushed the last few yards out of the forest, Landing in the middle of an empty street. Catching his breath, he mumbled to himself what he new of their aggressor.
"Inhabits foggy areas, dense forestry, and... long... desolate... roads... Astrid, let's not stop now, m'kay?"
Not giving her time to respond, Stefan grabbed her wrist again and kept moving, away from the city they'd come from.
-
The idea to distract the being and let Stefan and Astrid escape was working a little too well. Slinging his rifle over his shoulder, he makes a dash for the cabin again.
"Nex! Its time to go!"
He yells, jumping through the window, grabbing her hand, and jumping through the next, the shattered glass cutting his face.
-
Out of breath and convinced he they were still moving at a pace where they could reach sanctuary before the myth caught up to them, Stefan was now walking at a steady pace alongside Astrid, singing the first song of A Nightmare Before Christmas.
-
Sorry kid, but if its going to be you or her, I'm throwing you in the lion's den
Sprinting at full speed, holding onto Nex tightly with one hand, holding his rifle with the other, he makes out two shadows in the distance, running in a similar fashion.
A song can be heard over the panting and the sound of foosteps.
Instantly recognising the song, Calx joins in,
"Everybody SCREAM, everybody SCREAM, in this town of Halloween"
-
Stefan could hear Calx in the distance, singing along.
"I am the clown with a tear away face. Here in a flash, and gone without a trace!"
Stefan remembered the cast of the movie he was singing in memory of. Jack Skellington king of looked like the man chasing them. Only dead.
-
Taking a pause from singing, Calx thinks back to the last time he encountered this thing. It never went near the house...just observed from a distance. Of course, when it started to get what one might call "friendly" thats when Calx and Nex decided it was time to leave. And not come back.
Returning to the little sing along he had going with Stefan, he jumps back in.
"Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch everyone hail to the pumpkin king."
-
Stefan saw a light in the distance. A city, with any luck.
Slouching slightly, and moving slightly more erratically, Stefan changed the song.
"There are few who deny, at what I do, I am the best. For my talents, I'm renowned far and wide."
-
Calx pouts.
"No fun..."
Noticing the same light as Stefan
"or out o' doors he went without their helps,
And, to the last, bended their light on me."
-
Stefan removed his revolver from its holster, pointing it at his forehead and pulling the trigger six times, then unloaded it, revealing six unused shells.
"So don't get your hopes up, don't aim too high, they may say they love you, but most of them lie."
-
Calx reaches the end of the fog, stops and turns around. The thing was standing right there, a few feet from him.
" Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs?
your flashes of merriment,that were wont to set the table
on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning?
quite chap-fallen?"
-
Stefan froze in mid-step when he heard Calx's obscure poetry. Turning around on his heel, he saw what had caused the sniper to be slightly more odd than usual.
IT was still behind them.
"Why, hello there, good sir. I'm sure you're very busy, what with the kidnapping children and impaling them on trees after removing all the organs from their body, so we won't be taking up any more of your time, bye!"
Stefan grabbed Astrid, rushing off again.
-
"Can we keep him Sarge?! Can we keep him?"
-
Stefan noticed rather quickly that there were only two sets of footfalls. As they came to a stop, Astrid turned around, pointing in the creature's direction.
"Stefan, Calx is killing himself with crazy again. Please stop him."
Stefan turned around as well. Calx was staring at the tall figure like a boy would stare at a puppy in the window.
"...Eh. Nex can probably take care of him."
-
With her freehand, Nex touches Calx's shoulder.
Come back, we need to go
He blinks, and looks at her.
"What were we doing again?"
Running from what we saw at the cabin a few years ago
"Great. That's always fun."
Turning aorund, Calx begins to run after Stefan again.
-
When Nex and Calx had caught up, Stefan continued moving onward, allowing Astrid to operate freely this time. Her wrist was probably sore by now.
"So, ladies and Calx, what's the plan? Find the most populated part of the city up ahead and see if it makes that child-eating man behind us give up?"
-
"It doesn't like to leave the forest much. I doubt it would go that far."
This is the first time we've seen it leave the forest at all.
-
Stefan threw his arms in the air.
"Oh, that's fantastic! He doesn't leave the forest until I come around! You know what that means? The Slender Man likes me! I'm a Slender magnet!"
"W.... What's The.... Slender Man?
Astrid was running on fumes now. Maybe another hundred steps were left in her legs.
-
The four approached the border of the city. All of them panting from being chased out of the Slender Man's territory.
Calx and Nex stop to catch their breath, Calx's rifle dropping to the ground.
"Well that was fun! Any other games you want to play before its time for bed?"
-
Stefan glared at Calx. The immediate danger gone, he remembered the mass death that had taken place earlier.
"Calx, I swear to god, if you hadn't lost a few quarts of blood earlier, and if you weren't a frail sniper that I doubt could handle it, I would bash your skull in right now."
-
"That was great song." He says, looking up at the rooftops of the skyscrapers.
-
Two shadows stood guard over the vehicle compound. He crept up behind one, indicating for his second in command to follow suit. He unsheathed his knife from his left thigh and plunged it into the man's jugular, twisting the blade he ripped it out, the blood bubbling out as his last breath was released from his lungs.
He wiped the dagger on the dead man's jacket, and observed that the other guard lay dead too. Quickly, for fear of waking anyone, the men piled into the two trucks.
-
Kain was silently moving to his car. Then he heard a noise. He turned around, and saw the creature standing four yards away. It just stood there. Then it tilted it's head at him. Kain fired three shots at it. None of them hit it. It started slowly walking towards him in a creepy manner. Kain started ran as fast as he could. When he got to his car he jumped in and drove away as fast as he could.
"Why are you driving so fast?"
Kain didn't answer. He looked in the rearview mirror, and saw the thing standing there. It tilted it's head, and then walked away. Kain drove into the city, and stopped the car.
I hope I never have to go in there again.
-
Panting, Crimson made it out of the woods and onto the road. He found the motorcycle and rode off.
What was that thing?
The bike got slower and slower until it eventually came to a halt.
Dammit, out of gas. He pushed the bike to the side of the road and began walking down the lifeless street.
-
"V"
(http://p1cture.it/images/18064756664195870213.png) (http://p1cture.it/)
I kept a firm grip on my knives as I walked through the empty remains of a once heavily populated town. The mist emerged from drains and gutters. The silence bringing a lovely gloomy atmosphere.
Omnicide. Co, certainly has a way with cities full of Omnicide Game protesters.
I had been a paticipent myself. Killing for enjoyment, wasn't the greatest of professions.
Infact that is why im here. Mr. Creedy used to be the Omnicide Uk warden. It has come to my attention that he has retired. Unfortunately for him, I know where he is dwelling.
Watch out Mr. Creedy. Im coming for you.
-
Demos walked into the city, to a building he remembered from long ago. It seemed almost the same, except the walls were more weathered, the paint peeling, and there was a wierd feeling about being at this place Demos once called home. He entered, and a foul smell filled the air.
Damn. What happened to this place?
He went up there stairs, whereupon the stench grew to almost unbearable. Covering his nose, Demos continued onward. He turned a corner at the end of the hallway. He went no further. The pale, empty face staring at him from it's spot on the ground was one he had seen before. One he had loved before. One he had held, spoken to, kissed...
Now she was gone. Aria, his only love, was gone. Dead. He would never see her again. She was his life. His life...
In tears, Demos ran to the roof. He stared down at the bare road, the pavement patiently waiting for them to meet. Demos stared down, looking at what was soon to take his body, his life, but not his soul. Then he jumped...
-
Crimson made it to the city limits. The entrance was only about 100 meters away. But he was tired. He had been walking for what felt like days, but was only hours. He was tired and wanted sleep. His eyes were heavy like weights. He could bare the tiredness no more and fell to the ground, drifting into slumber.
-
Stefan leaned against the wall around the city.
"So... Now what? You guys plan on running from place to place forever? I don't. I've got an old friend I need to meet up with."
-
Sir he has taken the men he trained out of our compound grounds... SIR!
Philip ran up to the wall and hit the mic Get me a medic now!
-
Calx looks at Nex, she nods and he looks at Stefan.
"We don't have anywhere else to be. We're following you from here on out."
-
The doctor ran in and saw my condition.
There is noting I can do for him... Hes gone.
Earlier that day I had heard What Demos had said about my plans. I realized he was right. I was as greedy as the people I wanted dead. I wrote a note telling my men to go home. Then I did what Eclipse did...
-
"Uh...huh. You know, it's not entirely up to me if you guys can do that. That would be the decision of my Muay Thai instructor. I'm not sure he'd be entirely thrilled if I brought you two with me when I made my triumphant return. Astrid, sure."
Stefan nodded in Astrid's direction.
"But two career killers? Not to mention one of you is criminally insane."
-
"Well Nex, Modus doesn't like us anymore! Whatever shall we do? I guess we could go play with it again..."
Nex gives a glance at Stefan, and begins to follow Calx
-
Demos woke up. He was in the house he found before, in the bed. His hands were sweaty, he remembered everything. He needed to go.
Demos got up, the pain still remained from his previous wound. He ignored it, running out the door, onto the streets, to the building. It was the same building as in the dream. Not a good sign. He ran in, up the stairs, down the hall, to the left, and into somebody's arms. It wasn't Aria. It was a large man, who looked capable of more than tearing Demos from limb to limb, and he looked angry.
"What are you doing here?"
"Nothing that should concern you."
"Heh heh. Have you no idea who I am? This building is mine. This street is mine, and you're on it, which means you're mine."
"I belong to no one." Demos kicked the man in the shin, fluidly sliding a blade into his belly and another into his heart. The man was dead. Demos continued up the stairs. The next floor contained many young girls, who looked nervous. This man must have been their "master." That was about to change. However, Demos was not concerned with that now, he kept going until he got to the roof. He smiled. He had done it, he found her. He found Aria. Only when he was running to see her for the first time in years did he realize what she was about to do. She was standing on the edge, looking down, as Demos had in his dream. He ran faster out to her, until he was able to put his arm around her. She gasped with fear.
"Guess who?" Demos said to her as he had before. Aria turned her head halfway around. She was crying.
"I heard you got out. I saw the footage of the claymore... I thought... I thought you were dead, Demos! How did you find me?"
"I have my ways." No more was said, they stood there, alone on top of the building, staring out. All their problems seemed to disappear in each other's arms. They were at the end of their journey it seemed, and now they could finally be at ease.
-
A single shot rang out, breaking the near silence of dawn. Strangely, no alarm was sounded. Guards alert on their posts, pushed their hands to their ears, a message was going out accross personal coms.
'...Stand down men... We're going home...'
Deccers turned back to the men, frozen. Half of them already in the trucks.
'You heard the man, go home. It looks like you guys never needed me after all.'
He jumped down from the GPMG and as force of habit checked his kit.
MP5K on my back; 9 Millimetre in my holster; knife in its sheath; L85 in my hands; ammunition for all weapons; 48 hours of rations.'
With that, he set off down the badly tarmacked road, he kept the pace slow, something he could sustain for a few hours. The sun in the distance rose, the dark red light bursting through the thin cloud layer.
-
There was only one way to reach Mr. Creedy. The tube trainse underground, I would have to follow their path. It was about time that I had my revenge.
I followed the tube's path on foot, the eeriness of the silence filled the air with a ghastly atmosphere. I reached the next station before hopping up onto the platform. Mr. Creedy has fled to the underground you see. Alot of people want him dead. This station infact was the place he had fled too. I was about to re-paint the walls with blood.
Several guards ran out guns aimed at me.
Mr. Creedy!
One of the guards bellowed.
Mr. Creedy emerged. Smartly dressed as usual.
Mr. Creedy. Its time for you to go and meet my brother in the afterlife.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLqEWDo1VQk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLqEWDo1VQk) (Watch this)
Bleeding out I stumbled towards the exit of the station, my vision was bluring as I fell to my knee's. I had spotted someone in the distance, yet I had not nearly enough energy to call for help.
-
Kain remembered that the executive was still in the back of his car. He turned around so that he could see him. He was trying to untie himself.
"That's not going to work. Even if it did, I would kill you as soon as you got yourself untied."
The man stopped trying to untie himself, and looked at Kain.
"What are you going to do with me? You had plenty of chances to kill me."
"I'm going to get information from you."
The man remained silent. He was obviously thinking about what Kain said. Kain just sat there, unsure of where to go.
Where should I go? People would be able to here him scream in my house.
-
I heard the gun shot as it happened... Why his plans were going smooth. Every thing was going to work out. I heard Deccers tell us to go home.
I have no home.
I got out of the truck and went into the woods...
-
Stefan watched Calx and Nex walk off. He wanted to pursue them, explain that he hadn't meant anything by what he said.
But he had. Calx was a killer. He didn't just enjoy killing, he lived for it. He had no right to bring someone like that to Anurak's home.
Then a familiar voice popped into his head.
They don't have a home. You should help them.
Woah, is that my internal Guardian? Why do you sound like...
Like Astrid? Because you've been neglecting me, Stefan. Stealing? Killing? The only selfless thing you've done recently was help out Astrid. You're slipping.
You know, it's hard to argue with yourself. Go away now, I have work to do.
Stefan caught up with Calx, putting his hand on the sniper's shoulder.
"Hey, don't be such a drama queen about it, man. You KNOW you're psycho. Besides, I'm not saying you can't come along. I just need a phone call."
-
Struggling, I managed to clamber to my feet.
I needed to find an old hospital, a GP centre anywhere that had medical supplies would help me to survive.
I could spot a large vehicle approaching me. A glimmer of hope opened up, I could only hope that they would help me.
-
I'm going to have to take him to Rex's base. The only problem with that is that there are cops all over until you get about half way there.
Kain turned his car around and started driving back to the base.
-
Dakentio was living life as usual with Sheene and Kratos. He wanted to know what was goin on with Rex. Unfortunately, he didn't have his number. Or a phone.
-
After walking for a few hours I thought. Why? He had every thing, the world was going to be his soon... Then it hit me. I could finish what he started. I would start at square one like he did and grow to be strong! I stood up and ran back to the base...
-
Crimson's eyes slowly opened. He mind thought back to his last memories. Falling, hitting the ground. He bolted upright. Now he was fully awake. Looking at his surroundings he stood up and walked around the room. The walls were light blue, there was a crib against the wall, and a bin filled to the top with toys.
He walked out of the room and down the hall. He came into a kitchen, and saw a piece of bread out on the counter. Now fully aware of how hungry he was, he reached for it-
"You shouldn't touch things that aren't yours."
Crimson whirled around to see an old lady sitting on a rocking chair through the archway. She appeared to be knitting a quilt.
"Who are you? And where am I?"
You may call me Rosemary, and you are in my home. I found you passed out on the street. I quickly brought you into my home before 'it' showed up."
"By 'it' do you mean that man without a face?
"Yes, but 'it' is no man."
"Well, I thank you for your kindness, but I must be going.
"You aren't going anywhere. I finally have a son again. My old son went... Missing. But now I have a new son to play with. And I will make sure you never get 'lost'.
-
Calx looks around.
"Phone...phone...phone...Nex!"
Here...
She holds out the black cellphone again.
-
Stefan accepted the phone for the second time.
"You know, I'd expect a survivalist to NOT have a cell phone. Can't the government that hardly exists anymore track these things?"
Stefan dialed the first two digits of the number, then picked it out of the call history. The phone didn't even finish the first ring before Anurak's voice came through.
"Hello again, Stefan."
"You answered quick. Were you waiting for this call?"
"Perhaps. What do you need?"
"..."
"Stefan."
"I need a place to stay. Long-term."
"Not a problem. Why did you hesitate?"
"Because, I wouldn't be coming alone."
"You plan on bringing this girl along, too? As long as she can pull her weight, she's welcome in my home."
"No... not just her. There are two others. That's the tricky part."
"Why, Cadogan? Why do I feel as if you are about to say something I won't like?"
"Well... They're killers. Snipers."
"Is that all? We're all killers nowadays."
"Yeah, but not many of us scalp homeless people and sing while blowing up a tent full of people."
"...You brought that Calx kid with you."
"Kind of backwards, but basically. They don't have anywhere else to go.
"I don't want that freak anywhere near you, or this girl."
"But Anurak-"
"But nothing. You're my student. I might not be able to parent you, but I CAN put restrictions on how much you disgrace your creed in my home. My door is always open to you, but not to someone that kills the helpless just because he can."
"...Yes sir."
"Goodbye, Stefan."
"Goodbye, Anurak."
Stefan closed the phone, holding it out to Nex.
"Well... Astrid and Nex are welcome, at any rate."
-
"Well, time to be a good boy I guess." Clax grins, putting his hand out and bowing.
"The best actors in the world, either for tragedy,
comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical,
historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-
comical-historical-pastoral, scene individable, or
poem unlimited: Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor
Plautus too light. For the law of writ and the
liberty, these are the only men.
I at least want to meet this guy before we part ways, what do you think Nex?"
She gives a nod, and the two waits for Stefan's answer.
-
Stefan considered it. Calx meeting Anurak... might be interesting. It was also likely to be bloody.
"I feel like you're plotting something devious, Calx. Are you plotting something devious?"
-
" I am myself indifferent honest;
but yet I could accuse me of such things that it
were better my mother had not borne me"
He says with a smile.
-
Stefan raised an eyebrow.
"I'd bring you to him, but that would require me to hold on to anything of yours that could be considered a weapon, and I don't think you'd let me do that, so..."
-
Calx sighs, removing his rifle from his shoulder, his berettas from his chest holsters, his knife from his ankle sheath, and the ammo packs from his sidebags.
Hopping back and forth, and making jabbing motions, he begins to laugh.
"So much lighter! I forgot what it was like to be like this!"
He stops.
" I am very
proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at
my beck than I have thoughts to put them in,
imagination to give them shape, or time to act them
in. But there is a such thing as respect in this world, and I will have to uphold that even in this day and age."
-
Picking up Calx's weapons, Stefan turned to Nex.
"Does he... ALWAYS... talk like this?"
Shaking his head, he handed the barettas to Astrid and marched into the city.
"We're on a hunt for a map, children. And possibly a car, since Calx decided to burn the last one."
-
Only when other people are around...
"Do you know what I want? Tequitos. And Chimichangas. Can we enslave some Mexicans?"
-
Painfully I managed to clamber to my feet. I spotted in the distance a dusty LRV Army transporter in the corner of my eye. It must have been the Omnicide Military coming to clear the place out. The truck had been ripped apart by bullet holes but it looked like it was still in tact.
Ambling over to it, I took out a knive. I jammed it through the top of the window trying to wrench it open. Upon suceeding I climbed into the truck.
There was no key. I was starting to panic.
-
"No, Calx. I don't care how much foreign food you want. You're on Crazy Detox right now."
Stefan wandered down the street he'd gotten on, looking for a store that would have maps.
Dunkin' Dounuts? Probably not. McDonald's? Maybe he'd come back later to burn all their food. A Library? Yeah, those have maps. He pulled the main door open, looking to the group behind him.
"Ladies, and... Calx. After you."
-
"Paper burns easily..." He states, still pouting about his lack of mexican food.
Suddenly, he snaps to attention to where he is.
"Nex, Libraries have Shakespeare right?"
She gives a nod as she walks beside him.
He closes his eyes and begins to recite lines as he walks down the aisles.
"The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have."
-
There was no librarian behind the desk. They'd probably left to get a more productive job. Like arson.
incidentally, there was a small shelf just past the desk with a few road maps of the country.
"Oh, England. You've been much drier since the apocalypse."
Picking up a few of the maps, Stefan made his way to a computer. Apparently someone was still feeding electricity to the library, because it immediately turned on.
"Welcome to the Gloucester public library!"
He dropped the maps.
"Astrid, Calx, Nex, get your poop together and let's go. We're already here."
-
Calx was grabbing shakepearean plays when he heard Stefan calling from the entrance of the library.
With the books under his arm, he makes his way back, with Nex close behind.
-
Luckily, his friend had a phone and the symbol had the number on the back in very little font. he called the place and asked for Rex, hoping someone would pick up.
-
I walked into an empty room, all the rooms were empty... I heard a phone ring. I walked up to it and picked up.
Hello?
-
Hello. Is Rex there?
-
Rex is dead. He killed himself. I am Lance, the only one still loyal to Rex's plans. Who are you?
-
Dakentio Raikken. One of the members of his army.
-
You can come here, but there is nothing.
I hung up the phone and sat down. There was much to do, and not much time...
-
Dakentio went outside with Sheene and Kratos. The whole town was silent.
-
On the road, Stefan began noticing familiar buildings. A church that had been painted red by some cultists a while back, for instance. He turned his head, tilting his blind side towards Calx.
"Listen, no matter what happens, your presence on Anurak's doorstep is gonna cost me a lot of physical labor, and the more you meet his expectations for crazy, the worse it'll be. So, please, just try to be sane. For me. And possibly for you, since we are talking about a master close range killer who is significantly taller and stronger than you are, not to mention he already doesn't want you anywhere near his house."
-
"So after this Nex, is there anywhere you would like to go?"
Not really...
Calx looks at the scenery as he walks by
"Thats a shame, I'll have to find something else to do then."
-
Stefan shook his head, looking over to Astrid.
"When we get there, try to keep his attention away from Calx, okay?"
"Got it. I'll just collapse when we get there or something. That should distract him."
"Oooh, you're devious. Why haven't you been applying that until now?"
"Who said I was devious? I'm just roughing it out right now. I've been wanting to faint since that Slender Man guy chased us."
"Fair enough."
Stefan turned a corner, arriving on a particularly important street in his life.
"Well, we're almost there. Just a few more houses down. I feel like this should be sobering."
-
They went to see who was here, bu whatthey found was an Omnicide Army coming towards them.
-
Calx, reaches for a book from under his arm and opens it.
"Therefore be out of hope, of question, of doubt;
Be certain, nothing truer; 'tis no jest..."
-
Stefan rested his head in his hand.
"You know, I think this is probably a bad idea. Oh well, can't go back now."
Arriving at Anurak's front door, he looked back at Calx.
"Buddy, if you want to meet Anurak then zip it. No Shakespeare until he's convinced this isn't a reason to excommunicate me."
Astrid moved her head closer to Stefan's, whispering into his ear.
"He wouldn't... actually do that, would he?"
"No, but in comparison to what he WOULD do, that might be a bit more desirable of a punishment."
-
Calx closes the book.
"Well, this is going to be interesting."
-
"Alright... Here we go."
Stefan knocked on the green wooden door. A few moments later, the sound of heavy footfalls could be heard approaching the door.
The door opened inward, revealing a particularly tall and freakishly muscular man of Thai descent.
"Stefan."
"Hi, Anurak. This is Astrid."
"You brought the sniper."
"Uh... yeah. See, it just so happened that we were in the neighborhood, and-"
Stefan's sentence was interrupted by Anurak's fist making contact with his skull. The pain was unbearable, worse than any bullet or sword he'd felt during Omnicide. He was home.
His head still tilted to the right in reaction to the strike, Stefan stumbled backwards, managing an "Ouch," before collapsing on the ground, unconscious. Anurak turned his gaze to the other three.
"Well, come in, then. Bring him."
He tilted his head at Stefan before returning inside.
-
"Very interesting."
Calx slings Stefan over his shoulder and beckons Nex to follow, entering the house.
-
Anurak's home was rather archaic, with walls and furniture that looked as if they'd come from the sixteenth century. He sat down in a polished wooden chair, motioning for the rest of them to take a seat across from them.
"Now would any of you care to explain what exactly Stefan is doing with a sniper rifle on his person?"
-
"Well, theres also two berettas, a knife, and some ammo as well.
But those are all mine." He rubs the back of his head.
"At least, I'm pretty sure they are, unless he stole them from me."
-
Anurak rubbed his forehead.
"I guess that makes sense."
He reached to a nearby table and picked up a glass of wine, fixing his gaze on the amber liquid.
"Stefan generally doesn't completely disregard an order. Explain to me why he decided to bring you here."
-
"Well, there was omnicide, then helping him protect Astrid-thats your name right? Astrid?" he asks looking over that the timid girl,"Then there was that base that we left from, then blowing up the car, and hunting for food, and then there was him not listening and going into the basement, then the checkpoint, and the cabin, and the fog, and the Slender Man, and now we're here.
Fun fact: he doesn't like explosions. No clue why, if it weren't for them, we would probably be dead."
-
Anurak put the glass on the table, leaning forward and staring into Calx's eyes.
"Really, now? What did he do?"
-
"Oh? do you mean the basement? Well, I told him to go and wait for me, and he ended up going into the basement of a place he shouldn't have gone into the basement of, causing him and...I can't seem to get it into my head-Astrid? to sit on a landmines, and cause both of us to do alot of extra work for this guy I know, though I really don't like that guy, and after that was done we left that city."
-
Anurak raised an eyebrow. It was like trying to have a conversation with a rock.
"How... how did explosions save you, then?"
-
Calx took a deep breath.
"Well, there was this one checkpoint that we needed to get past, so I blew up a car as a distraction. Worked quite well."
-
"Naturally. Stefan has a bit of an affinity for things that don't explode."
Anurak's demeanor suddenly changed, his voice coming out like ice.
"You're a mass murderer."
-
Calx leans back in his seat.
"Mass is a very broad term. In everyday usage, "mass" is often used interchangeably with weight. Even though it shouldn't be, as weight is your apparent mass with respect to gravity. To call one a mass murderer is to claim that they take the lives of many people without giving the public time to cool down between events correct? Well, with that definition, one could call the pre-apocalypse court system a mass murderer because of all the people they sentenced to death, innocent or guilty, you could call our goverment a mass murderer before the world went to hell for sending forces over to territories that didnt belong to them. Is an abortionist a murderer for killing babies before they are born? If so, can one call any sexual intercourse or menstruation cycle that doesn't result in a birth a murder as it is destroying a potential life every time?"
He leans foreward, staring directly into the man eyes
"Lives come and go. And in this day and age, its mine or theirs, and there is absolutely no way that I'm leaving Nex by herself with the world the way it is. If that means I have to taint myself with the blood of others, then so be it."
-
Anurak narrowed his eyes, standing up.
"Don't try to pass yourself off as just a protector. I've seen your criminal records. I suppose publicly displaying parts of a corpse was a method of warding off potential threats? Be honest with me, Sniper. What is your REAL motive? Do you... ENJOY killing people?"
-
"Oh him...he was a...special case. If you saw where his hand was, you would cut it off at the shoulder too. And putting it where his friends could see it was a public serive announcement to his rapist buddies in case they tried to do the same thing."
-
Anurak's hands were closing, slowly. He turned his head to Nex.
"And what about you, young lady? Is your rap sheet as long as his?"
-
Nex did not respond she was staring into nothingness, her fingers white from the deathgrip she had on her knees.
"...I talked about it..."
Calx buries his face in his hands.
"I promised I wouldn't talk about it.
At no time broke my faith, would not betray
The devil to his fellow and delight
No less in truth than life: my first false speaking
Was this upon myself: what I am truly,"
-
Anurak sighed. Now there was no way he could kick them out of his house.
"Mmph... Hey, guys... what'd I miss?"
Stefan lifted his head off the ground, shaking it wearily.
"Stefan!"
He scrambled to his feet, standing in attention.
"Yes, master!"
"You were unconcious for too long. Get up faster next time."
"Yes, master."
"And get me another drink. I can almost feel my surroundings again."
Stefan walked out of the room through a dark oak door, presumably to the kitchen.
"Sniper... your arms... Are really, really skinny. How did you manage to kill anything in this state?"
-
He looks at his arms, the military, living on the run and carrying his weaponry around kept his arms and legs quite fit. But in comparasin to the man standing before him, they could easily be considered small.
"Easily. If I could get my M82, and my Beretta's back, I would be able to show you. But he-"
Calx points to where Stefan walked to
"-told me I couldn't come if I didnt let him carry them."
-
Sheene, Kratos. Get. The. Cars. Now.
Sheene and Kratos went to the backside of the house. When they came back, they came back with a Nissan R34

and a Mercielago LP640, the wedding car.

-
"And that was a good decision on his part. Well, as good as it can get when he's blatantly ignoring what he's being told to do. Out of curiosity, what do you two plan on doing now?"
Stefan entered the room, holding a glass of wine.
"You aren't a drinker. What is this 'I can almost feel feelings' business going on?"
-
"Go wherever Nex wants to go I guess...
I came here with the knowledge that I wasn't going to welcome.
So." He stands out of the chair.
"I think its time to leave."
-
"Have fun. Stay in school. Don't do drugs."
Stefan put the glass down, whispering into Anurak's ear.
"But... what? They don't have anywhere else to-"
"Stefan, I didn't want these people in my house in the first place. Do you really think I'm going to get on my knees and beg them to stay?"
-
"Give me back my stuff Modus."
Calx looks over at Nex. She was still staring into space.
With a deep breath he walks over to her, and crouches down to her height.
"Its time to move."
-
Stefan looked at Astrid, nodding towards Calx.
As she handed over the Berettas, Stefan removed the sniper from his back, holding it out.
"Well... I don't suppose I'll be seeing you again."
-
"No clue. Not a single clue..."
Slinging his rifle over his shoulder and putting his berettas and knife in their repsected holsters, he put his hand on Nex's shoulder.
"Jenna. Get up."
-
Sheene scoots over in the Lambo Mambo LP640 as Dakentio gets in. Both cars has 3 tanks of NOS in them and in 30 seconds, they were already on the Highway, hitting over 150 as Omnicide was slowly gaining on them. Kratos in the R34 used the first tank of Nos completely and was at 195 mph. Dakentio slip-streamed behind his son, going over 210 mph when he moved over to pass by. It was like they were racing for pinks.
-
Stefan dropped to one knee, eye level with Nex.
"Jenna? Well... Jenna, is something wrong?"
-
"I talked about it. This is going to take weeks to fix.
Anyways, we'd best be going."
She gives a nod and begins to follow Calx to the door.
-
"Bye... Calx. Nex."
"I hope they'll be okay. Nex is nice. She gave me iced tea."
"...What?"
Anurak clapped his hands together, grabbing the attention of both of them.
"Well, kids, I think it's time you started earning your keep around here. Stefan, you've lost muscle since you left, so I'm going to be resuming control over a few things, like your diet, work habits, and what used to be free time. Astrid, I'm sure you're very tired. I have an extra room upstairs, feel free to take a nap."
Stefan groaned. He was home. Unfortunately.
-
As soon as the two were out the door, Nex slaps Calx in the back of the head.
"Yeah...I deserved that."
She follows it up with a kick to the back of the leg, causing him to crumple to the ground.
"And that..."
-
She's insane. That's. Just. Awesome.
"How do you expect to make me stay? You're just a little old lady. I'll be leaving now."
As Crimson turned around to leave he heard the sound of a gun being cocked. He turned his head to see a double barrel shotgun pointed at his face.
"Are you sure you want to run away? That awful Slender Man might get you. Why don't you stay with mommy where it's safe?
Crimson grabbed the barrel and pointed it off to the side. She pulled the trigger and a hole appeared in the wall next to him. He bolted for the door while she fumbled with the gun. She followed Crimson as he ran into the yard and then to the woods. He stopped once he noticed she wasn't following him. Turning around, he saw why she stopped chasing him. Standing before that insane old bat was the Slender Man. His arms outstretched, and the woman only a few yards away from it.
Crimson wasted no time. If he stood there much longer he wouldn't make it. He dashed through woods, listening to the painful screams of the woman behind him. He made it to the road, and then continued to follow it.
-
After a few minutes, the trio ended up on a straight road, still being pursued. They then passed by one guy exiting the woods as they had Omnicide on them.
-
Crimson was forced to dive off the road as a car whizzed by. He sat in the undergrowth as more cars appeared. they seemed to be pursuing the the first one. Once they were all gone Crimson continued down the road.
-
That was Crimson. We have to go faster!
Dakentio and Kratos floored it and kicked their rides to 7th gear, something completely rare. both used their nitrous 'til they had only 1 tank left. They were at 250 mph when they were 1000 RPM from the Redline. They were finnally losing Omnicide.
-
"Ok! Stop hitting me now!"
Calx stumbled to his feet.
"That was fun...So now what do we do?"
Find a place to live...
"Yeah...I kind of ruined that one didn't I?"
She gives a stern nod.
"Well we could always go to-"
Yes, there.
"You want to?"
Another nod.
"Okay then. Easy enough. And you're happy with living there?"
A third nod.
"Then that'll be our new home...Man we havent been there since we met have we?"
He asks as he begins to make his way to what was left of the rich district of town.
No
-
They spotted a curve from afar. The R34 and LP640 clenched the brakes so tight that the cars sounded like a girl getting raped in high pitch consecetively. they slowed down just enough to turn and rest their tires and brakes. The Omnicide Guards, however, weren't so lucky. They drove off in to the ocean. Every single one of them. Dakentio seen the sniper from Omnicide. When he honked at him an enormus explosion occured from the ocean.
-
When Kain was almost there, he noticed a lot of cars. They didn't look like police cars, but they were waiting for something. Kain turned his car around and drove back to the city. None of the cars looked very impressive, and they sounded even worse. Kain could easily get away. Kain drove as fast as he could, and eventually made it back to the city within a few hours.
Great, now I have nowhere to go. Now what? I don't think there are any more Omnicide executives in Bristol. And what am I going to do with that executive? I'm not letting him stay in my house, and I'm not leaving him alone in my car either.
-
Ignoring the car honking at him, Calx continued up the hill.
Upon reaching the top, he caught sight of what was left of a large mansion
"Are they still living there?"
I doubt it.
Walking in silence, they reach the gates.
"Welcome home."
Yeah...
"You okay with living here...with me?"
Yes.
Taking the brown bag off of his neck, he opens it, and pulls out a silver necklace, putting it around the girl's neck.
"I kept it."
-
Dakentio and family kept on the road, heading for the base.
