Our Plagued Reality: Us and Them

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurin dropped his Rail at the sight of his failure, and the results of it. He missed one freaking tire... and a town tears itself apart from insanity. "That can't be the bomb... they seriously expect to get away with this?!" He screamed in frustration before getting his rifle and heading around, upwind of the town.

This will be the last time he lets that shot miss, or hes going to hunt the Nazi driving it and throw him in the same mess he started.

[Entaru]

Entaru saw Burgandy in the distance and realized just how fast they were moving.

"STOP!"

The vehicle screeched to a halt ((I figured you were probably gonna slam the brakes)) just to the side of Burgandy, nearly tossing Entaru and Philip out the windshield.  Luckily they had worn their seatbelts and were practically unharmed. 

Quickly getting out of the vehicle, Entaru threw Burgandy a gas mask.  "You may want to put this on.  One whiff of that gas and you'll be back in the Asylum we pulled you out of." 

Entaru looked back at the town, which was now enveloped in a silver fog that was rolling their way.  Pulling out a pen and paper pad, he began scrawling down notes of how the weather conditions sped up the gasses' dispersement.  The pen and paper then disappeared as fast as they were drawn and Entaru turned back to Burgandy.

"Right, now where are they?"

Capt.Jonnas A.Romero Shepard(Active Liberation/Minor Injury)
...Of course the Rally point was abandoned. Reaching the point, his fears where realized as he reached this abandoned outpost, with equipment, rubbish and whoever they left behind, scattered around as the only remaining things left. approaching the station, spent brass jackets laid all over the ground, suggesting a fight. upon closer inspection, they where mostly comprised of 5.41 NATO Rounds, suggesting automatic rifles... his guess was, they got attacked, took considerable casualty's and packed up shop whilst they still had the time. then, when the attackers came back for another round, they found the post, took their stuff and left...
inside the outpost however, was still a ham radio... you know, the ones that came before head sets and hand radios? it was damaged (of course.) but given some time, he might of been able to call for some form of extraction... no one was going to come for awhile, and the chances of that happening where VERY LOW so he should of been able to do that, as he clapped his hands together...
"Alright... lets get to work... change the frequency... move a few pieces around... this is Captain Jonnas Shepard, calling in from... what's they name this bloody place... Outpost Charley! Repeat, outpost Charley! requesting an extraction, the LZ is clear!" he then changed the settings and messing with a few of the parts, keeping the same frequency, and repeated the same message again... "This is Captain Jonnas Shepard, Calling at outpost Charley, repeat, outpost Charley! requesting an extraction ASAP, the LZ is clear!..."

Soria was woken by a faint radio static and someone yelling. She got up out of the bed inside the outpost and looked outside the window. There, standing in the middle of the debris, was a lone soldier. She eyed him carefully and waited. Eventually, the sound of a chopper could be heard in the distance. Dammit! So that's what he was doing. He must know I'm here. Soria reached over to her bag and pulled out her AWP. She watched though her scope as the chopper came closer and closer. Without a second thought, she pulled the trigger and hit the main turbine, severing it from the rest of the chopper, causing it to plummet forward towards Jonnas' postition.

The good news was, he heard a chopper inbound... "phew... finally, something goes ri-" then the gunshot pang... which was a part of the bad news, along with the speaker being busted... oh, and the chopper was INBOUND. hearing it coming, he barreled out of the way, into some cover (reinforced sand bags.) and going prone, as for the second time, he was having an explosive dropped on him. he was going to need a flak jacket after all this... he pulled out some binoculars, towards where the gun sound was, as he took a look...bloody F***ing sniper. right in the outpost... of course there was... unprone or come out without a blind and he'd get a bullet between the eyes...thus what the flash bang was for. effective on humans... like a tactical nuke on animals due to heighten senses or whatever made that happen, he was human after all and that was his advantage. with a pull of the pin, he threw it up behind his cover, right into the window. And sense it worked when it hit something...well... as soon as it would get up there, it would go pang. right smack into this snipers eyes and ears. with that, he quickly pulled out his silenced side arm and knife, and gunned it into the building and right up stairs... and if the sniper was still blind, a perfect target for interrogation with that knife right at its neck. otherwise, a few bullets would solve the problem easily...

Soria barely noticed the flash coming up as it hit her nose. Oh ********! A grenade! She quickly grabbed her duffel jumped backwards, out the back window, strapping her rifle over her shoulder as she rolled, drawing her 98 Beretta. From the corner of her eye, Soria watched as the soldier ran for the outpost house, firing. Soria grabbed a smoke and a flash, pulling both the pins as she made her way behind an old outhouse. She tossed the smoke over a few yards away and then threw the flash into the house as the soldier ran in. Another espionage agent, huh? Well, let's see who's better in our line of work, then.

[Yugian]

Capt.Jonnas A.Romero Shepard(Active Liberation/Minor Injury)
He made it upstairs as he saw something fly right on in... he covered his head, not even having time to say anything, as its own pang sound rung from its metal casing... as he wasn't in direct contact with it, it didn't make him combat ineffective for 5 seconds or more like advertised... but it sure made things ring for a minute with a disrupted ear drum... gave him a clear second to think.
"Taste of my own medicine... is that what this was? Only people who use flash bangs are scumbags like me, or infantry doing house clearing... and there are obviously no G.I's here..." When the ringing ended, he popped a look over the window really quick... the smoke grenade would be past its 'prime' by now, but just enough evidence to show where the sniper went... there was no way he was going to jump out of a two story building and be fine! had to give person credit... course, that means he had a second to see if any left over equpiment was present...
Course, there wasnt anything useable, so the last thing to do was to move back up on the sniper, fight on his terms... he only had 3 flash bangs, his pistol (USP.45 Tactical Silenced), his SMG (MP5 Silenced) And a Knife. It was morning and with no where to hide, his black/gray damaged stealth suit with a tint of his own red, had no place here... so how do you deal with the situation?
It was just a simple outhouse. so there wasn't going to be anything fancy. if he had a high penetrating weapon or full metal jacketed bullets, he could just shoot though the outhouse (Like he could fire something like that, but it was just wood.) but he didn't have that. so... being clever was option two. he grabbed the spent flash bang, and stuffed it full of random things, specifically ones that, when they hit metal, make a nice tinging sound, making it sound like a frag grenade... he then threw it downstairs, working the grenade over though the strength of his right arm... just barely. "Frag Out!"
As 'stupid' as this seemed, they'd hear the ringing on the grenade, and they'd most likely (if they where not completely stupid) want to get out of the way of the 'fragmentation', thus step two of the plan, throw a flash bang the other way after a second. this throw wouldnt be as hard, due to the fact that he was also making good on the distraction and running forward... after a second, flash bang, pang and hopefully right as they ran straight into it. he readied up his pistol and his knife again, just about to turn the corner...

"That is...." Burgandy paused. "That is....an excellent question! You know, umm, I was just about to keep looking when you guys pulled up, I assure you," he lied shakily, almost through his teeth. "Because they kind of gave me the slip, but oh, not for long..." Burgandy quickly noticed his story was falling apart, though he couldn't just outright admit being lazy to Lt. Colonel Entaru. Entaru did not have the power to demote him...but he did have the power to seriously damage his life and job in other ways. "Now what say we...get moving on this job, eh?" Hurriedly slipping on the gasmask and tightening the straps, Burgandy gave a strangely nervous smile.

Moon was lost in la-la land before the armored car pulled up outside. Her own, personal, so very eccentric, kind of la-la land. Her telepathic connection to Atreyu had been lost. And she didn't even notice. Through her body coursed mercury, and her nose and mouth were filled with a sickly sweet smell and taste similar to an exotic type of fruit. When she at last used her eyes for their purpose instead of for imagining she had x-ray vision, and got a good look at the new Reich arrivals across the street, the first unfortunate, off-kiltered thing to cross through her mind was: *gasp!* What great timing...look at this! One...and two...TWO of them! I think these people would really like to meet you, Mr. Fire Poker. Or...*hiccup*..should I say, their brains would like to meet you!!!!

The hiccups had came without much warning and were nothing more than an annoyance. Lovingly, she ran her shaking hands over the iron weapon, and wondered if scattering brains would resemble cotton candy....no, no, nooo...*hiccup* brains are too cushy for that.

She squealed with positivley adorable giggles when the fire prod became animate and talked to her: BAM BAM BAM!!!! Just run up and hit the fools! BAM BAM BAM!!!!

Oh *hiccup*, you aren’t being very nice Mr. Fire Poker…

Then she grew woozy, light-headed, and lost both her balance and her grip. The rusty fire prod slipped from between her tiny fingers, and squealch-like sound rose up to Moon’s perked ears as it impaled her foot. It wasn’t much of an injury, in fact, it was barely even a cut…but Moon didn’t see it that way:

“OOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWoooooWWWWWWWWWoooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!”

Her cry was so unholy and loud that even someone living a few blocks down would have heard it, not to mention those people currently only a block of cement concrete and asphalt away. She had never been so loud in her life. An embarrassing new personal record to never tell Atreyu about.

You betrayed me, Mr. Fire Poker. You betrayed meeee….

Moon backpedaled in the hopes of relieving her foot without actually using her hands, and soon tumbled over onto her back when she tripped over an upturned coffee table.

Magical stuff, that mercury.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Soria heard the pop, but the frag sounds didn't sound quite right. She popped her head up and found the soldier popping his head up with his pistol. She quickly pulled out her AWP and shot towards him, not taking the time to aim. The shot punctured the wall, but she missed him. However, it should give her enough leeway to get out without getting hit. Soria threw her rifle and duffel into the outhouse and ran for the soldier, 98 Beretta in one hand and Kabar in the other. She kept fire on the window where he was at and replaced the clip, cocking the gun as she dove into the first floor window.

[Entaru]

"You WHAT!!  How could you lose them?!  They're children!  Do you realize that this mission is directly from the Fuerher!! You fo-" Entaru was cut off by an unholy howl of pain.  Entaru trotted quickly over to where the noise originated, pistol drawn.  Looking in he smiled through his mask and turned back to Burgandy.

"Well...it seems you aren't going to lose your job after all, Mr. Burgandy."  Entaru walked into the building, knelt down next to the prone child and quickly handcuffed her to him.

[Alice The Necrofox]

Specialist Shiro Chann.
Outside the Helicopter.

"You sure the Radio on that thing doesn't work?" Shiro Chann shouted at the pilot over the din of Helicopter blades.
~"Yeah, no transmisions in or out."
"So if I am stuck here, there is no one I can call except the Ghostbusters, right?"
The pilot grimaced and started the liftoff sequence.
~"Just don't die and report to see if Jonas is K.I.A! Find any civilians if you can!"
The Helicopter lifted off and flew back towards base.
Shiro turned and walked around the deserted area. He moved over into a blown out building.
"Well, I'll do a surveillance from here. Maybe there are some life forms here."
He chuckled.
"Knowing Jonas, not even a Nuke could take him out. I just hope I find him before someone else finds me."
He laughed.
"Oh thats right... I am a specialist for a REASON! Stealth and all that... hah"
He started climbing into the building.

Getting a big whack on the head as she crashed to the floor had done wonders for Moon's mind, speeding up the process in her superhuman body that dispelled illness in all its forms, and rapidly she was not as demented, though she still had the basic functioning capacity of someone who was intoxicated far beyond the legal limit. She glanced about, tipsy, noticing her arm was not her own anymore...

...Not really seeing what she was doing, not really seeing whom it was who had her arm, nor having any inkling as to what was going on, legs swaying as though she was aboard on a ship in a storm, she used her free hand to weakly start to pull at her wrist and whatever it was that held it, trying to gain leverage.

((I'm waiting for Chrono to write about my other people...yah...))

Yurin heard a rather loud 'ow' coming from the town, but unless he saw where exactly the source was, he wasn't willing to go into whatever made those citizens go mad. He had just about gone around the entire town, and saw a jeep in the distance...

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro was looking through his scope at... something smoking off in the distance. Farther towards an outpost than the outskirts from where he was landed. SOMETHING had crashed there. His mission had been sent out early and not rushed. The commander had put him with a rookie crew who almost crashed twice, and had to stop to refuel at least 3 times. The last hour was the worst. The pilot got lost in the area, and circled around the same place over and over again. Plus the radio was shot. No doubt to the gunner who had spilled a soda or something on it. Seemed they didn't care about the struggle with the Fourth.
"Well, at least I am away from those number tens. Lets go find out what that smoke is about. I'd say... twenty minutes to traverse quickly... eh... what's the hurry... not like anyone is expecting me."
He kicked a stone and it hit the wall with a thunk. Shiro walked down the stairs, whistling an old New Orleans tune under his breath.

Oh....that tail.........would you look at that?

Unwillingly, Moon stopped trying to free her hand and lurched forward, grabbing ahold of the first thing she came across, barely even seeing it, not knowing who it was aside from a glimpse of a gas mask....Entaru's very poofy tail. She held it tightly in a hug.

Stop it!

Stop what?

Stop talking to me, whoever you are...I know I've been drugged, okay? You are a figment of my imagination. You can't tell me what to do.

Cheeka, you cleared up minutes ago. It's me.

And who might "me" be? Moon closed her eyes. Everything around her was swimming. She buryed her nose in his tail.

Don't you remember me, Moon? I know it's been ages, but yeesh. Talk about clueless. Remember...three years ago? The first- and only, god forbid -time you talked to them?

You're not....

Come on...it's on the tip of your tounge.
