Breakout Barrier
The official, if not the actual, border of Mother Brain's domain, this wall stretches throughout the mountains of Videoland, providing a considerable barrier to any would be invaders to the realm. Rows upon rows of bright, multicolored bricks make up this wall, the construction so ingenious that it will never topple due to imbalance: bricks must be destroyed one at a time to make a hole large enough to get through. Patrols watch these walls carefully at all hours, and there is but one gate, guarded by fierce creatures of Mother Brain.

Obvious exits:
Up leads to Peaks Of Scorched Earth.
Battleground leads to COMBAT Fields.
Clouds leads to Stormy Sky.
Mewtwo looms somewhere atop the wall, arms folded across his chest, eyes closed. But one would be foolish to think that the magenta psychic is asleep. A subtle twitch of the tail as the warnings go out, and without opening his eyes the freak of science groans softly to himself. He came out here to meditate without the ruckus of the fortress to bother him. Oh well. Duty calls, it would seem.
Doom Island arrives from COMBAT Fields.
Doom Island has arrived.
Beat shows up through a portal, carrying.... 'Da bomb'. a C-4 explosive to be percise. It's currently on the front of his spraypaint belt, making a wicked beltbukle. He skates towards the wall, looking at the best place to plant the bomb.
Jim Raynor orders the SCV to remain to the rear with Cube and to build a bunker for them. While with the 2 firebats and 4 marines he charges towards the barrier. "Okay you know the plan cover Havoc and Beat while they gets tries to bring down the barrier!" The troops reply. "Yes sir!" Jim and the group open up on part of the barrier hopefully to get the attention of the villian defenders from the two with the presents.
Link doesn't 'open up' on anything. He simply strides forward and waits for the defenders of all that is unrighteous to come out and cause some trouble.
Nick Parker is taking down the barrier. Okay. Fair enough. He raises his rocket launcher and lets the weapon fire, sending out a blast of heat as the rocket flies at the wall. He'll use this until he gets closer and can use his c-4.
Cube works on the bunker with the SCV. So what if you can't do that in Star Craft? Outside of the SC universe the same rules don't quite apply.
Mewtwo rises from his spot, arms lowering to his sides. Eyes open slightly, remaining narrow glowing slits as he extends his senses, probing farther down the length of the walls. And then disappears in a simple flash of light, teleporting him closer to the location of the... visitors, reappearing in a similar flash. "Well well, looks like the brought fireworks to the picinic as well."
FlickerFlash, FlickerFlash. Using the darker arts known only to evil chibis with capes (of which, there is ONE), the Meta Knight flickers in and out of existance. Teleportation? Yep. At last, he pauses, crouching down upon the ground. Sneak attack? You betcha. But not on Jim, oh no. Not on Cube. Not on Nick. No, the Meta Knight - unlike SOME villains - is a stragetist. He goes for the largest threat. The rather nasty looking device on Beat's belt!
Even as the street skater begins to pass, the Meta Knight STRIKES! A sudden whisper of cape, and the flash of a blade. A tiny arc of light marking the Amarant's path as the Dark Warrior slides to a halt. If he timed it correctly? ... Beat's belt is gonna slowly trickle into itty bitty pieces. Letting Da Bomb drop as well, thus neatly disarming THAT threat. "... You were unwise to come."
Meta Knight strikes Beat with his trivial The Unbelting! attack.
Beat skates on, unaware that his belt is falling apart.... until 'da bomb' falls to the ground, and Beat trips over it. "Guwah!" He yelps, falling and rolling, landing on his back. Beat, not expecting this, is stunned, while spraypaint cans that were on his belt fall and clink around.
Hey, did it just suddenly get... darker in the area? Yes, yes it did. Doom Island, floating home base of the Sinistrals, is approaching the area of the disturbance. Occasionally, a slimy purple substance oozes off the edge, and splashes onto the ground below. Jim Raynor and his troops would likely recognise this substance... creep.
Nick Parker fires another rocket into the wall, then another, "Damn, where's the MCT when you need one?" Every building should have an MCT. It'd make his life so much easier..
Cube finishes up the bunker with the SCV and sets to work with it on building a missle turret, so they can shoot down that nasty Doom Island.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor Random Marine says, "Umm sir you see that island...look at the purple crud falling off that island...
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Purple...please don't let it be what I think it is...sounds like creep...that means Zerg."
Waluigi arrives from Peaks Of Scorched Earth.
Waluigi has arrived.
Link watches the Meta Knight make his appearance with an 'attack' on Beat. "You!" he calls out, trying to draw the thing's attention, as he steps toward it.
Jim Raynor keeps heading for the wall with his troops they are now on the guard for any Zerg that might show up. Anyhow they keep up the barrage of fire on the wall and a few blocks shatter but nonthing of imporatnace.
Mewtwo watchs as the rockets are fired towards the wall again. "Sorry human. We're not accepting any deliveries today." Psychic aura flickering slightly, he raises an arm, flexing his powers enough to deflect the incoming projectiles from the barrier. Most of them fly off in random directions, but one manages to rebound back towards Nick.
Mewtwo strikes Nick Parker with his Return To Sender attack.
The Meta Knight's short, rotund little shadow will fall across - BEAT'S ANKLES! Well, he isn't exactly tall enough to cast a proper dramatic shadow. As is, the Dark Warrior just picks up Da Bomb. And quietly bounces it in his fin - at least, before LINK speaks up!
The Dimunitive Terror slowly turns around. Da Bomb dissappearing somewhere up in his cape, even as the dark blade Amarant is raised. In a.. salute? Those demonic yellow eyes narrowing to slit.
"Ah... the ever infamous Link. I've heard of you, young Master, and your skills... shall we see if your blade is as sharp as your fame? I challenge you!"
The rest of the wall? Utterly forgotten. It's a challenge! Meta Knight's fin snapping out, to throw - a Health Tomatoe? Well, it's a thing of his. Give the heroes every advantage, on /purpose/. THEN slice them to bits. Then he'll know, as will they, that the defeat was grand and final.
Meta Knight misses Link with his health tomatoe healing attack.
Beat dosn't care about clean fighting. after recovering, he sees where 'da bomb' dissapears, and descides to act. He jumps and pounces towards Meta. "Give me that bomb back!" He shouts, while preforming a flying tackle that looks kinda like a schoolgirl hugging her favorie plushie.
Beat strikes Meta Knight with his Flying tacklehug type thing! attack.
Nick Parker gets caught in the explosion as his rocket comes back at him, "Well, damn." He gets back up onto his feet and looks up at Mewtwo, "I dunno who you are, but I'll tell you one thing." He grabs something and chucks it right at Mewtwo, "I got a present for ya!" The block of C-4 flies at the kitty, as Havoc hits the button to detonate it.
Nargil has arrived.
Daos has arrived.
Gades has arrived.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "This is not good the Sinistrails iland has shown up and its dripping Creep off the edge!"
Nick Parker misses Mewtwo with his Hair Trigger Remote C-4 attack.
Amon has arrived.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "they have either been taken out by the Zerg or have teamed up with them."
Yes, well, a storm appears to be approaching. Thunder sounds in the air...yet, it isn't thunder. Nay, tis the beating of a swarm of leathery wings, each set of wings bearing a creature dedicated to carrying out the will of the Swarm. Mutalisks leave their perches on the island above, swooping towards the largest concentrations of the Heros assaulting the wall, or anything else that is making a nuisance of itself, ignoring automated defenses for the moment to deal with the heros. Ayup. Wheeeee!
Tassadar arrives from COMBAT Fields.
Tassadar has arrived.
Link watches a tomato? fly past his head, just barely missing him. Okay, that was unexpected. But, before he can respond to that unusual attack, Beat asserts his authority over the Meta Knight. Shrugging, he decides to leave those two to it, and glances toward Doom Island, squinting.
Cra-THUMP!! Well, that was certainly unexpected. The Meta Knight lands, mask first, in the dirt! Skidding a bit, then yanking his legs up. Trying to roll the duo. Why, you might ask? Why, so he can bury his fins in the dirt - and KICK upwards with those tiny little feet of his, trying to knock Beat for a loop. Surely, they can't have THAT much strength in them? You'd be surprised. After all, his alter ego - Kirby - could toss people about like they were paper airplanes.
"AH! Backstabbing /pest/."
Meta Knight strikes Beat with his Chibi Kick Off attack.
"How foolish." The bomb flies at Mewtwo, exploding as the trigger is hit... And as the smoke clears away, it swirls around the purple barrier of psychic energy surrounding him, unscathed. "Foolish, inferior human. Your technology is little match for pure power." Dropping the shield, he lunges off the wall, telekinetics lifting his own body through the air and then dropping towards Jim, foot first.
Mewtwo strikes Nick Parker with his weak Drop Kick attack.
One of the Marins calls out. "MUTALISKS! INCOMMING!" Jim smirks, "Simth Jones get back to the bunker your flame throwers will do you no good against the flyers." The Two Firebats turn to run for the bunker off in the distance while Jim and the other marines open up on the incomming mutalisks. "concentate your fire on one Mutalisk at a time!" Oh its going to be one of those days.
Look! Up in the sky! It's a group of birds! No! A squadron of planes! No! It's the Sinistrals! Coming down in triangle formation, Daos at the head, the Trio of Terror emerges from their island, Zerg Mutalisks streaking past them. Daos looks very, very pleased indeed at this new attack force. Now, it's time to watch how it performs in action.
Jim Raynor strikes Nargil with his Gauss Barrage attack.
Cube sees the zerg coming down, and dives into the bunker with the SCV now that the missle turret is set up. And what does the turret do? It opens fire with it's missles on the zerg.
Cube strikes Nargil with his Missle Turret Joy! attack.
Beat is kicked squarly in the face, and it stuns him for a second. However, he recovers quickly, and proccedes to backhand the evil plushie. "I'm a backstabber? I don't even have a knife, you masked stuffed puppet! You were the one who tried to depants me!"
Hmm. Zerg and... ah, yes. Sinistrals. Link watches the horde of evil come down from Doom Island, concentrating on the three Sinistrals he still has yet to appropriately pay back for kidnapping his princess and punking him out on his own turf. Actually wanting their attention, he extends his blade and slings a beam of energy in the trio's direction.
Gorn arrives from Peaks Of Scorched Earth.
Gorn has arrived.
Nick Parker gets kicked! Gah! He stumbles back, and shakes his head, "Okay fine, if my weapons won't work, I guess I'll have to do this the old fashioned way." He takes off running at Mewtwo, and leaps up, twisting and kicking a boot out at the psychic.
Nick Parker strikes Mewtwo with his weak Spin Kick attack.
Beat strikes Meta Knight with his weak backhand slap. attack.
Sinistrals, hm? Now things are starting to get important. ...Is it any wonder that Lady A is here? Staring from a floating cube, high above the area of battle, Lady A looks out upon the island, than the wall.
Her first thought? (...What are these idiots doing?) The Lady shakes her head, and checks her blaster for preparedness. A direct assault on the base? Most unwise...
[Hero-IC] Lady A says, "Who ordered this attack?"
[Hero-IC] Station says, "What's going on?"
[Hero-IC] Lady A says, "It appears we are focusing forces on the Breakout Barrier. Very inadvisable."
[Hero-IC] Station says, "Location?"
[Hero-IC] Tassadar says, "< Mewtwo grunts slightly as he's kicked in the shoulder, skidding backwards a few steps before regaining his footing. Figuratively of course, the way he's always levitating slightly. "Try all you wish, worm. It's your mistake for attacking; now you shall feel our wrath upon you for it." Sparks of electricity snap and crakle around Mewtwo's arm as he extends it, and with a snap of the wrist sends a blast of psionicly generated lightning at the human.
[Hero-IC] Station says, ".....Erggg..."
"Him again? I shall handle this puny human in tights." Amon says, as the beam swooshes by them. Accelerating his descent the Sinistral of Chaos opens fire upon the poor hylian...literally. The Sinistral of Chaos began incanting a spell as he descended toward Link.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Ya it was a raid I plotted to try and do some damage to the barrier. Got a problem with it? You people just sit and wait for them to cause trouble rather than bringing it to them."
*slap!*
[Hero-IC] Lady A says, "With NO preparation, Jim?"
[Hero-IC] Tassadar says, "< [Hero-IC] Lady A says, "A situation like this requires PLANNING! You could be injured or even killed in this suicidal mission!!"
[Hero-IC] Station says, "Ugh.... That is near Mother Brain's territory. She has large defenses."
[Hero-IC] Nick Parker says, "Hey, you don't need planning, babe. You got Havoc."
Well he did try to get their attention... Link spins when the earth opens next to him and brings his sword up, trying to deflect whatever may come. Unfortunately, deflecting a gout of flame isn't easy, and he gets scorched. Ow ow ow. Gritting his teeth, he moves away from his former area, closing in on his Sinistral of choice, being the one that smacked him around before, and thrusts his sword toward the flying villain.
[Hero-IC] Station sighs.
[Hero-IC] Lady A speaks...an unusual amount of words, for herself. Maybe she is upset. "I am in no posistion to TELL any of you what to do. But those of you with common sense should leave the area immediately. You haven't got enough forces to mount an assault of this volume! I can cover you if you want to retreat. ... A frontal assault... "
Nick Parker dodges the thunderbolt! Yah! "Hey, I can do that too!" He smirks, and brings out a new rifle. Black Widow Volt Autorifle, to be exact, "Here, you should get a charge out of this." He pulls the trigger, and sends out a blast of blue electricity at Mewtwo.
Beat can move quite well, thank you. He jumps up and dodges out of the way. "Yea, but I was PLANNIING on using that bomb you just stole. Prehaps if you give it back, I'll let you fight the green tights- wearing guy." Beat picks up a dropped paintcan, and promply sprayspaints Meta a new face. "I don't like your attitude. I think I'll paint you a new one."
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Yes pulling out is what I have in mind but this was not a total loss. We do know about the Zerg's new allies now."
[Hero-IC] Station gives a sigh. Then he responds. "A voice that was addressing us earlier, I apologize. When the time comes, I will be ready to hear you out."
[Hero-IC] Tassadar says, "<>"
A terran marine, clad in white armor, hustles up next to Jim's forces, and peers at them. "Hey!" he exclaims, in a deep, slightly neanderthalic-sounding voice. "Do you guys need some help?"
[Hero-IC] Lady A says, "We have one available to study."
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Actually two. A Zergling and a hydralisk not to mention I uploaded every thing I had on them into the Palace's computers."
[Hero-IC] Tassadar says, "< [Hero-IC] Jair says, "Zergling..was that the chicken?"
And as the gun fires... Mewtwo isn't there. He's about two steps over, a quick, short teleport out of the way. "Predictable. Utterly predictable. I was hoping you would at least be a small challenge." Aura flares around his fist as he clenches it, and thrusts it forward, as if throwing a punch. Though he's nowhere near Nick. Yet a seemingly invisible force strikes at him none the less, like an unseen fist.
[Hero-IC] Cube says, "Beep beep. (I saw a Zergling Chao once...)"
The poor mutas. A hail of gauss rounds slam up and into one of the poor beasts, puncturing it mightily as a few of the other mutalisks, in a feat of "not getting shot" dive behind the injured beast, missiles slamming into it in some cases, or merely hurting the mutas in others. Unfortunately for Cube, as the Swarm has discovered, a single missile turret can only fire so fast. The mutalisk swarm swoops low, unleashing a swarm of their symbiotes at the group of marines who opened fire on them.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "We have to do to the ruins of the Psi disruptor on Braxis now...the Zerg are spreading out like the plague they are. We will need a way to short out their master's controll over them."
Nargil misses Jim Raynor with his weak The Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy Death!!!! And not the good kind. The Zergy Kind. attack.
Daos slowly floats down, eventually stopping in mid-air as his two fellow Sinistrals break off formation to go on the offensive. Daos himself is mainly here to observe this performance, after all. He doesn't actually bother doing anything in the way of attacking himself. That's what his minions and brothers are for. In other words, he's basically just a big ol' nine feet tall target up there...
*FSSSH*
Nathan Graves arrives from COMBAT Fields.
Throwing a fit of maniacal laughter as he swossh down, going in his own direction, the Sinistral of Destruction glances at the at the number of heroes, smirking and taunting them with: "HAH! Pathetic little heroes! Prepare to feel the almighty power of DESTRUCTION! BWHAHAHAHAH!" Stoping his nifty flying tricks to an halt, the red haired leads boths his arms outward, smirking with glee. He concentrate his Spiritual Force of Destruction in boths his arms and quickly let losses an large, VERY large and wild yellowish-white wave of PURE Destructive energies. It's miss the heroes for the most part, but little did he know it's actualy hitt an little Bunker...
Zirconium armor, gotta love it. Amon's plate gets a minor scratch at the oh-so-legendary toy sword. Well, toy sword for a Sinistral considering his pike was much larger than the hylian AND his sword put together. "Perhaps I shall teach you some manners again, little man." He says with a smirk, as he brings his primary melee weapon to bear. Yet he does not point the blade at the pathetic mortal, but rather he aims the flat tip on the other end at the hylian's face like a prodding stick, except with much more force and two hands helping at the motion.
Nick Parker gets punched by nothing at all, and grunts, going down onto his knee, "This is stupid." He mutters. He pulls out another C-4 charge, disk shaped, and pulls back like a discus, hurling it at Mewtwo. Should it stick to the psychic...It's a proximity charge.
Link jerks his head to the side, feeling a whoosh of air as the pike handle flies past it. "Perhaps not." he responds, pulling his sword back before thrusting it forward anew, aiming the tip at the Sinistral's gut.
Cube winces as the bunker takes the shot. It'll hold, but not if it gets hit again. Cube, realising the chaos outside, both declies to leave or attack.
Beat is carved up like a thanksgiving turkey. However, since there was no blood in Kirby SuperStar or Jet Grind Radio, The sword only leaves bruses. But it still hurts. "Oh... *cough* Did I get your attention?" He says defiantly. He gets up off his back, and before the Meta Happy-Mask can get away, brings one of his skated feet down on the black puffball.
Mewtwo never did like those proximity bombs in the Smash Bros battles, either. And here he gets one thrown more or less right in his face, where it promptly explodes. BOOM! Mewtwo snarls in pain as he's thrown backwards and thuds on the ground. A moment later he mentally lifts himself up, eyes narrowing at Nick. "Cute. But your tricks alone won't be enough..." Drifting a bit closer again, he clenches a fist, aura flickering brightly as black and purple energy swirls around his arm, and then is released in a control blast of dark energy as he thrusts forward with it.
Amon urks, as this stab does not rickoshet off his sturdy armor but does manage to make a sizable dent instead. "I would suppose you are the Princess' wimpy boyfriend or some other relative? You look as delusioned in your own strength than she did." He taunts as he brings his pike up. Perhaps a brochette would put things in perspective.
Nick Parker gets picked up off his feet and lands on his back, coughing slightly, "Okay, if tricks won't work, guess I'll just need to get down and dirty." Drawing his Desert Eagle, he aims at Mewtwo's head and fires.
Jim Raynor shakes his head and thinks its time to leave now. Jim is allready ordering the troops to withdraw. Then he blinks as a Marine with Alpha Squadron markings shows up. "Sure...wait a moment What is one Alpha Squadron doing -here-." Jim eyes this marine. The Other Marines are taking fire as they start to fall back. Well one Marine is not too lucky as he goes down in an explosion of gore as his armor is breached. Still one of his buddies grabs the body and hauls it on. With all the powers at the plance they are learning that umm well Death is not so permante. Anyhow the Firebats are already gone into the warpzone and the SCV looks to Cube. "Come on little guy we got to get out of here.." The bunker shudders from the massive spell attack. Jim meanwhile is saying, "MOVE IT FALL BACK TO THE WARP ZONE!" Jim opens fire on another of the Mutalisks.
Cube pulls out of the bunker with the SCV as the Missile turret continues to fire, traveling with the rest of the marines to safety, healing them as he runs.
*crunch!*
The trooper backs up alongside the marines before turning and grinning at them, his faceplate snapping up with a *SNICK* to reveal that his face... is covered in goo, chitin, and tendrils. "Not any more, you don't."
The infested terran explodes in a large green blast, right in the middle of the three remaining retreating marines
Gades has noticed something he did not notice befor in the battle field: Some strange low, yet sturdy looking, little building on the ground...And after seeing the various armored peoples flee from it, he can figure out there IS something in there...And it's ALL better to destroy something where there is LIVING peoples in it! Letting out an scream of rage, the Sinistral flies above the bunker and...simply let himself fall. Oh and, ready to smash the HECK out of the thing!
Yes, well, the Flying Freaks are rather annoyed. They will come get some, thank you. Seeing as how Jim is being a good hero and attempting to distract the mutalisks while his men run, the mutas concentrate on the annoying redneck who just gunned down a second mutalisk. Oh yes. About half the mutas start attacking the missile turret, damaging the bunker, while the rest attempt to coat Jim in acidic chittering symbiotic death. Yes. Whee for the Zerg! The Swarm! and all that bunk.
Link grimaces as the pointy part of Amon's pike slams into his shoulder. Oh yeah, that hurts. Trying to put some distance between him and his opponent, he lifts his sword and drives the hilt toward the Sinistral's head, while simultaneously pushing back away from him with his feet.
Gorn misses Jim Raynor with his Infested Terran Go McBOOOOOM attack.
Lady A shakes her head and glares at the scene below. Though her weapon is armed, she seems far from firing. Plenty of targets...yes. Plenty of reason? No. The moment someone tries to leave, she will pick off their opponent. Damn campers.
Daos crosses his arms, chuckling as he observes that the troops are beginning to withdraw. Of course he cares nothing at all for the Zerg that fall in the process, as he doesn't care about the welfare of any of his own minions. Those who fail in their duties die. It's the way of things.
Amon lurches back at the hilt...Amon LOATHED getting kicked. "That...was a mistake" He says, raising his left hand toward the hylian and concentrating his spiritual force. He then fires a disorienting bolt at the hylian, good old confusion status effect...
Mewtwo snarls twisting to the side. Not enough to evade, but the bullets nail into his shoulders instead, making the psychic snarl and hiss with pain. Fortunately he's from of those worlds were you don't bleed and stuff. Or at least pokemon don't seem to. "Your toys may cause pain.. but they alone do not make the warrior." In his twisted position, he charges up a org of energy between his hands, and then turns to fling it at Nick swiftly.
Beat is sliced across the right arm, and he cringles in pain, holding the arm stedy with his left arm.. "Ok, you ....you.... small.... thing!" He shouts, in a threating kinda of way. Yea. Of course, Jimmie has to give the order to retreat and spoil his fun. "Ok, you clown, looks like you get it off easy." He gives a steady grin, before picking up a spraypaint can and hurling it at Meta. "Here, snack on this. Get some iron in your body and grow some bones!" He then beats feet towards the back.
*clunk*
Well Jim and his remaining boys seem to be lucky to day as Larry aka the Card Shark and rumored to have the devil's own luck opens fire the moment he catches sight of the infested marine's face. By well luck the gauss rounds rip into the infested marine's head and puts him down before before the explosion of doom. The other two marines are hauling their fallen comrad along towards the warpzone. Meanwhile it seems the Mutalisk's can't hit the broad side of a marine today as their shots go wide. Jim on the other hand keeps snappingoff shots at the multalisks over head.
Nick Parker takes another Shadow Ball to the chest, and growls a bit, as he gets up to his feet again, "Okay. I'm tired of this." He growls, getting out another weapon, and aiming it at Mewtwo, "Bye." He fires, sending the depleated uranium slug right at Mewtwo on a hypervelocity blast.
Nah! The Mutalisks can hit stuff! It's just that the annoying missile turret is distracting them. Yes. Erm. Anyways! Here's a lesson in physics, hopefully. Do not shoot at large objects right above your head. A third mutalisk, quite hurted by the pointy death, plummets. With luck, the Space Redneck known as "Jim" will be squashed under the mutalisk's corpse.
Lady A's eyes follow Beat's passage through the crowd. Finally, someone with some sense... but seeing that the Meta Knight does not attack, she stays her weapon.
Cube keeps on healing the wounded terran forces as they run for the warpzone. Yes, this even works on the SCV, despite it being mechanical. RPG logic again.
Link jumps out of the way of the beam that comes toward him. Whew, that was close. He recognized that one. When he comes back up, he dashes in toward Amon, and drives the sole of his boot toward the large Sinistral's kneee.
Mewtwo's expression contorts painfully, but as usual the psychic doesn't utter more than a few snarls in responce. "No.. the times are not for goodbye yet, welp.." Eyes narrowed to meer glowing slits, the psychic's glare seems deathly cold. Prehaps it is, whisps of frost and wind swirl about him a moment, and then as he snarls erupts into a massive blast of sheer arctic fury of harsh, unrelently cold.
Oh heck, not the kneecap, not the kneecap!
Nick Parker rushes forward, even as the freezing winds whip around him and make him really cold, "I hate cold.." He mutters, as he taps EVA, summoning something. He grabs his Desert Eagle again, and pulls back, to pistol whip Mewtwo in the face.
[Hero-IC] Zeratul << Good evening, my comrades in arms. I trust all goes well? >>
[Hero-IC] Station says, "Ehhn, I wouldn't say so."
As Jim's npc's vanish into the warpzone Jim is not so lucky as well he looks up in time to see the massive hulk of the Mutalisk's body comming down right on top of him. "Oh Sh..." Is all he is able to get out as the mass of flesh slams into him. Now Jim is pinned under a pile of carrion.
The dark blade Amarant is neatly sheathed, in a single smooth motion. Meta Knight, his mask carrying a few nicks on the corner, glances upwards - and pausing. Those demonic yellow eyes narrowing, in his HAPPY FACE mask. Beat is so going to die, when the dimunitive terror catches up to him. With a faint frown, Meta Knight flares his cape outwards - then wraps himself up into it. Dissappearing.
[Hero-IC] Tassadar says, "< Link steps aside and reaches out to grab a hold of the pike, so he can use Amon's strength against him and jerk him forward. At the same time, his other hand lifts his blade, as he attempts to drive it down toward the Sinistral's shoulder with all of his strength.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Oh great... need a little help here I got a umm Mutalisk's corpes on top of me..."
As Jim picks off mutalisks (and is hit by one), his (and his soldier's..and anyone else's who's on their channel) com is suddenly flooded with the mechanical voice of the Terran..mechanical chick.
Meta Knight
*Clunk* Mewtwo staggers back, cluching his forehead with a paw, dazed for the moment. "Nrrrrk." This just proves humans are as much barbarians as he thinks, resorting to brute force and clubs.
[Hero-IC] Zeratul << Alas, old friend, our old enemies have found many allies. I shall arrive presently. >>
[Hero-IC] Tassadar says, "< [Hero-IC] Marina Liteyears says, "Ummm. I think Calina kidnapped Professor Theo again. Not like that's something new..."
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Larry you get Private simm's body to the medical bay maybe someone from one of the more mgically gifted worlds might be able to do something for him."
If Sinistrals were low on vocabulary enough to cuss, right now Amon would demand that Link "piss off and die already". Instead he simply grunts and falls back, leaving his pike there as he undergoes a bit of anger management by calling upon the cosmos. "Feel the power of Chaos, and weep!" He says, as he points both hands toward the Hylian. "Chaos Wave!"
Bass.EXE arrives from Stormy Sky.
Yes, well, Nargil already commited these mutalisks to their job. And that job they will carry out! For that is the job that they are doing. An Overlord makes it's way down to the area, checking around for evil, and disgorging...a Zergling Chao? Oh dear god no. The small critter scampers up to the pinned down Jim and starts gnawing on his foot, it's pair of Hunter-Killer baby-sitters accompanying it while the Overlord does a quick sweep for Ghosts. The Mutalisk merely bleeds on Jim with acidic blood. Yay.
Nick Parker strikes Mewtwo with his Reiforcements Have Arrived, B*tch! attack.
Jim Raynor's armor starts to dissolve under the assault of the blood and the Zergling Chao's attacks are more annoying than anything. His foot is still free and he tries to give the little pain in the foot a kick.
Jim Raynor then his face pales as he hears the Nuclear missile warning go off...oO(Oh great... we're all dead...wait ...a moment...)
Chaos Wave? That can't be good. And ohhhh, it's now. Link grabs the fallen, and quite hefty pike, as the wave impacts his body, making him scream in pain as it does its damage, smashing and ripping and tearing. When it passes through him, the Hylian falls down to his knees, doing his best to try and concentrate. Somehow, someway, he still has the strength to go on... perhaps because the Sinistrals power isn't quite as strong as it would be on his home turf. Lurching to his feet, Link raises the stolen poke and jams the pointy end toward its owner.
Cube is about to go through the portal when he notices that Jim isn't comming along. He races back to hual Jim out from under the dead zerg. How? Mostly by blasting away at the corpse so it's lighter.
"Oh no you wont escape, humans!" Materialisng his trusty Gades' Blade, the mighty Sinistrals take flies up in the air once again, leaving the probably-ruined bunker behind and swoosh - swinging his massive sword at them - down at the last few remaining Terran Forces that are attemping to flee for thiere lives...and the upcoming nukes, obviously.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Umm anyone picking up any inncomming missiles? My scanners are going nuts saying we got about 8 nuke lauches comming in!"
Lady A senses...something... and turns around, her eyes moving first, then her head, her gun still aimed toward the battlefield. And, because she is looking at eyelevel...she sees nothing. Lita blinks, then focuses her gaze...downward. Toward the Knight. One brow raises in his direction.
Gades strikes Jim Raynor with his weak RUN! RUN! RUN COWARD!...Yes, I've Went To Sinistar School, Your Point? attack.
The Zergling Chao wails and scampers away, a single Hunter-Killer picking it up and letting it hide under a flap of carapce as the Hunter-Killer boards a waiting Overlord and flies off. The other Hunter-Killer, unamused, slithers up, eyeing the dead mutalisk, finding a weak spot, and pumping some pointy death into it. Enough should get through to make Jim quite uncomfortable. It ignores Cube for the moment. That, or the way things go, a flap of skin will deflect everything into the Hydralisk's face. Anyways. The mutas start flapping over to harass the GDI chaps. NOD on a new level! MWHA!
[Hero-IC] Marina Liteyears says, "Eight? Hmmm. Same distance? Staggered? I could probably stop a couple..."
Nargil strikes Jim Raynor with his NO ONE DOES THAT TO THE FENRIS BROOD MASCOT, PUNK attack.
Mewtwo grrrahs, knocked back against the barrier as he's gunned down, snarling in both pain and anger. "Pathetic human! Must you rely on all your toys to fight for you?" You can almost see the anime style vein pulsing on his brow as he gets up, tail lashing. "I shall just destroy you, and your vulgar machines." Electricity snaps to life around him, crackling around his entire form this time as he draws all the power he can. The electrical aura pulses as it charges, and then erupts into a sheering blast of stormy fury, jagged bolts of lightning lashing out at the foolish human and his war machines.
Amon blinks once, then twice, as the swordsman does not only get up but also uses his own weapon against him! "What? How..." Is all he can find to say before anger overcomes his mind, and grabbing the other tip he swings like never before toward the Blocks...kiss some breakout, kiddo.
Mewtwo strikes Nick Parker with his Mewtwo's Thunder-ous Wrath smash attack.
[Hero-IC] Marina Liteyears says, "Wherewherewhere? I can be there in a flash! Where?"
[Hero-IC] Lady A says, "NO. RETREAT."
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Anyone picking up any terran bases with in 25 km of my location... *Sounds of Hydralisk spines* "I hate these things...""
[Hero-IC] Bob says, "Nukes tend to be a 'run for your life' situation, y'know?"
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "We are falling back..."
The Meta Knight merely stands where he is, his back to the Gamemaster. That warlord cape of his slowly wafting in a sudden coincidental breeze. The Sakura Aura of Evil having faded away, leaving him a strangely sinister blue powder puff. At last, those demonic yellow eyes snap open under the mask. Blazing brightly, before settling down. Meta Knight turning sideways, a bit, those glowing yellow eyes peering back. And narrowing faintly once more.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "Ya everyone go get out of here..."
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "We can't risk it. This is totally fubared."
[Hero-IC] Beat says, "Don't look at me, I'm out of Dodge."
[Hero-IC] Beat says, "but that plush freak with the mask took my C-4!"
Alley-oop! Link doesn't have the presence of mind to let go of the pike until he slams into Mother Brain's breakout barrier. The crash makes him cry out in pain once more, the entire battle now taking a hefty toll on him. Using what little gas he has left in the tank, he staggers away from the wall, grasps the hilt of his sword with both hands, and lunges toward his nemesis.
Well thanks to both cube, one of the three super natual Stooges and the Hunter killer Jim is able to flip what is left of mutalisk off him. Then he breaks into a run hitting the stims not planning on being around when the nukes come down. Gorn's plan has worked quite well indeed. "I don't have time for you and the other two Stooges Gades. I'll see you goobers later if you surive the nukes." With that Jim rases full force for the warpzone. The next round and he will be gone.
Well, since the other soldiers were just gumbies, they're easily struck down by Mewtwo's attacks. Even Havoc feels it, but he guns the engine of the Hum-Vee and rushes for Mewtwo, "Roadkill cat, anyone?"
Lady A sounds very cold, for someone who is obviously here to protect the heroes. "They came of their own will. They should leave of their own will. I cannot force them, only carry them when they haven't the strength to continue." Lady A glances down to the field. Yes, good. Raynor is finally following logic, and getting away from all of this. Her weapon moves toward Amon, if he means to follow... though her eyes flicker back toward the Meta Knight.
Amon flips his pike back to the more standard position, and prepares for the rush...yet even as he does so he does not react fast enough and ends up with another large, apparent scrape on the armor. Unpleased was the Sinistral, and his foot was getting a cramp so he figured he might as well fix two problems with one punt.
"I see..."
The crimson eyes just stares down towards the battle going on. Nuclear destruction, Zergs battling. Foolish people suffering their meaningless deaths. Die... Die... Die... Pain... Feel the Painful Death Mortals! The eyes gaze away, locking to the sight of the Zerglings. The arms are within the poncho, which continues to dangle down Bass.EXE's body.
Mewtwo expended most of his saved power for that attack, and doesn't have the strength left to teleport out of the way. Instead with a groan, he ends up sprawled on the hood of the craft as it slams into him. Drawing himself onto the hood, he snarls, and his tail lashes out at the driver, swinging it's bulbous tip like a mace at his head.
Link is booted back, driven again into the barrier with a grunt. On the verge of defeat, he decides that he'd best zero in on Amon's biggest weakness, and hope beyond hope that it'll put him away for good. So he pushes off the wall and takes a wild swing at the knee he kicked earlier.
The mutalisks notice the vehicle. They notice that it is moving. They also notice that it has a fleshbag in it. Ponderponderponder. Mutalisk Response 1A) SHOOT IT!!!! Anyways. the mutalisks start launching glaives at the jeep. Normally, well, normally Mewtwo would be in trouble, but it's alright, because the mutas are swooping in low to actually bite at and spew the symbiotes at point blank range. yes. Rar.
While the chaos wages, something...curious...arrives. Late, but nonetheless...a cat, defying all conceivable instinct, pads across the area, observing all that occurs. Its eyes flicker with an intellect that cannot possibly be feline, and every so often they glow a barely noticeable red. Such is the sign of Lezard Valeth's feline familiar, observing the scene, apparently uncaring of its own safety.
Stooges? HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR SECRET IDENTITIES! YOU...!
Amon slammed his pike tip into the ground mere seconds before the hit came. "Strike me once, shame on me, try a second time, pain for you."
"I have opponents who don't concern themselves with honor." Lady A feels it would be literal child's play to kick the Meta Knight off her perch, but, why bother? If she'd share nonviolent discourse with Captain X, doing the same with a chibi is not all that unusual.
Instead of focusing on the Knight, she squints down at the battlefield. Raising the left hand in which her blaster is firmly held, she squeezes the trigger once, delecately, sending a white line of primitive laserfire down upon Gades, just as he lowers his attack at Raynor's back.
Clang! Link's sword only finds pike. Gritting his teeth, he drops down to his knees just in time for the blizzard attack to fly over his head. Good ole heroic luck. Now it's time to pull out all the stops. As he pushes up off of the grind, he brings his shoulder down and charges forward, aiming for that region between Amon's legs. Yes, better to fight dirty than, you know, die.
Nick Parker gets smacked in the head, and then blasted by Muties, "Agh!" He dives out of the Hum-Vee, and rolls for cover, bringing out his Hawkeye Ramjet Rifle. He comes around the corner and takes aim at Mewtwo, who's hopefully still on the hood of the Hummer.
Daos is still there, yes. He's just been hovering there, watching the proceedings gleefully. And then, looking aside, he notices another observer has come. It's the one wearing a poncho again. He certainly seemed capable of quite some destruction last time Daos saw him. An interesting individual, to be sure. But he's still just one player in the game that is being played here today, and not an active one so far, so that glance is all the attention he gets for now.
Mewtwo blinks as the human leaps off the vehicle. "Come back, you coward!" Telekinesis flares, and the psychic lunges himself off the humvee to follow... and straight into the blast. Mewtwo doesn't barely get a chance to yowl as he's knocked backwards, and slams into the wall, slumping to the ground. "..nnnnnh..."
The Mutalisks move as one once the one known as mewtwo falls. A single mutalisk falls back, scooping the unconscious one up on a small claw and flapping away from the evil known as "Humie" while the others open fire with a will. Mwhahahhaha. Acid spitty death, awaaaaayyyyyy.
Nick Parker huhs, and looks at the fallen psychic, "That wasn't fair." He says, as he turns around and sits down, "Maybe I should have shot left handed." He shrugs to himself, as he gets up to head for his Hum-Vee and get out of here.
Cue a lot more screaming from the Hero of Hyrule when the Chaos Storm engulfs him. Amazingly, it the extreme pain and anguish doesn't overload his body enough to send him into a comatose state... yet. Blindly, he flings himself forward, throwing a tackle at the Sinistral as he tries desperately to escape the pain.
Now if the Hylian wanted to learn something good, he would note that tackling a being over twice his size and weight has little to no effect. And thus Amon doesn't even flinch at the human's attempt to strike him, instead he closes his right fist, and ducks low for a jaw uppercut
Unlike the other Sinistrals, Gades is not afraide to curse. And he have good reasons: Not only he missed the Power Armored guy, but he have been hit by...something fammiliar. A blast of energy...Painfully fammiliar. Diverting his gaze from the fleeing Jim to the Gamemaster, Gades narrow his brows menacly. "You...YOU! Your that Gamemaster I've fought in Castlevania...You will PAY for this, woman!" Letting out a scream( and landing on the ground ), Gades take a run troward the Female Gamemaster...Not to swing at her, but to RAM the pesky Gamemaster with his shoulder. Hey, he a brute, he dosent always use his weapon, y'know.
By now, only remembering why he hates the Sinistrals (because they kidnapped the woman he loves and devestated his protectorate) keeps Link going. He spirals away from Amon after getting slugged, until he does a 360 and falls down to one knee in front of him. Not even coming up from that position, he blindly jabs forward with his sword, putting whatever oomph he can muster behind it.
And as Gades comes running in to shoulder tackle Lady A?..
Meta Knight just quite calmly slips to the side. Clasping his fins behind his back, under his cape as he just begins to walk away. The sudden THRUMMING filling the air, bespeaking of the arrival of the Halberd. The Meta Minion Armada! That massive airship spreading wide it's four massive fins, slowing down to interception speed. It's the same order that Meta Knight gave out LOOONG ago, before the battle even got into full swing. Without hesitation, the dark chibi pops up into the air..
His cape shifting into a pair of bat wings. And away his flits, soon nothin gmore than a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny little dot as he heads for his Ship.
Mewtwo is carried off and back to the fortress, to spend another night in a tank that gives him the closest to nightmares that he admits to. Damn regen tank reminds him too much of his 'birth'...
The eyes faintly shifts to notice the floating chibi puffball with a mask leaping into the sky past him to meet into the ship. He can also feel the fact that there is something towering over him, though, he doesn't even bother looking to see that the Halberd is over him. Nevertheless, his attention is turned towards the neares t spot of leaving. Bass.EXE is floating over to the sky, floating higher to leave.
Lady A is hit hard, and falls from her perch onto the hard ground. Her right shoulder makes a sickening CRACK beneath her fallen body. Her eyes water... She didn't mean to get into this fight again... or into this battle at ALL. On her back, she's not in the greatest position to counter. She kicks out with her legs, sweeping to take the Sinistral's feet out from under him, and buy herself some time to stand and rejoinder at the warp zone with the others.
By now, only remembering why he hates the Sinistrals (because they kidnapped the woman he loves and devestated his protectorate) keeps Link going. He spirals away from Amon after getting slugged, until he does a 360 and falls down to one knee in front of him. Not even coming up from that position, he blindly jabs forward with his sword, putting whatever oomph he can muster behind it.
Gorn escapes into a warp zone.
Mewtwo escapes into a warp zone.
Amon curses openly this time. "My knee! You struck my knee! You shall pay for this you...you! insect!" As he brought his pike to bear once more, and this time he might as well return the favor by lunging the blade toward the hylian, no more mercy.
Lezard's Familiar keeps watch on all this, its intelligent eyes flicking about, catching Link's mad drive to crush the Sinistral, Lady A and Gades deciding they Don't Like Each Other, and especially the arrival of the Halberd and the retreat of Meta Knight. Why, though? Why is the Kawaii Kitty of Spying here? Only one man knows, and he's on the other end of this, in the Adventure Zone, focusing his mind on seeing what Kitty sees.
Link gets skewered. Again. "Graaah!" His face screws up as he processes the pain. Grabbing the pike with one hand, he jerks it out of him, so he can try another version of what he used earlier... pulling the Sinistral toward him, this time so he can thrust his blade toward the fiend's chest.
How can a small human like that can make a such powerfull being losses is grip on the ground and FALL? Unlike Amon or Daos, who would think 'FLOATING' and lift in the air in his position, Gades hits the ground, hard. And cause a slight tremor as he fall...But do you really think that would stop Gades? Grunting and screaming out a battle cry of boths rage and annoyment, the Sinistral jump back to his feets and rush after Lady A. "YOU WILL NOT ESCAAAAPE!" *SWOOOSH!* Well, that Slash wasent as strong he wished it to be, but you do what y'gotta do.
Jim Raynor leaps for the portal as one of the Sinistral or however you spell it let a massive blast of magical energy. Well Jim's luck holds out this time as he vanishes into the blue portal before the attack is able to reach him and then Jim is gone.
Right, well, the battle is dying down, the fools are retreating, and Nargil has deemed it inefficent to leave his minions around as cannon fodder. The mutalisks return to the island of Doom, while several drones and a few Mutalisks salvage the bodies of the dead wherever they can find them. Parts is parts, meat is meat.
Nargil has left.
Amon sighed, Link just didn't learn...Amon adapted too quickly to be struck by the same thing TWICE. He does let the hylian drag him down willingly though, but instead of letting the sword impact with his chest he jerks forward, letting a plate deflect the blow and brings his large hard noggin forward...time to give some headache where they deserve.
Cube follows Jim through the portal, and once on the other side, he starts healing the 'dead' terran forces.
One reversal deserves another. After his sword is deflected, Link releases his grip on Amon's pike, and waits for that huge noggin to close in on him. Using his smaller size and speed to his advantage, he jerks away, reaches out that grab that huge melon, and drive it further until it impacts the ground.
Amon does indeed eat some dirt...breakout dirt, eww. Spitting a few times he wildly swings his fist toward the hylian, getting truly tired of his meddling survival and not dying.
Link dances away from the fist. Or, well, it was more like drunkenly stumbles away, actually. Either way, it was quick! And just as quickly, he comes back toward Amon, and drives the heel of his boot toward the downed Sinistral's face.
Amon has been knocked out!
Lady A is moving too quickly for Gades' strike to connect. On her way to the warp zone, she passes the battle between Link and his Sinistral opponent. She doesn't want to leave a hero behind.... Despite better judgement, Lady A holds out, waiting at the edge of the warp zone as it glistens behind her. "Come on, let's GO!"
Amon gets his head knocked backward, and as he comes back a river of blood squirts out of his nose, a little anime-esque. "I find no interest in these games anymore, you bore me human." He then turns to his brother "Gades, finish him off, I have better things to do." As he began to shimmer in gold and do the retreat thing...thank god he was already on the ground because he would have fallen for sure. Heck, Amon wasn't even sure if he could stand up and was sure as heck not going to try. He does manage to raise his hand and flick a finger, firing a tiny bolt of Chaos as a parting gift.
Did someone say retreat? Yes, that was a looong time ago, but Link decides to actually do so now, since he has the satisfaction of victory. One down, two to go. Stumbling away from Amon's former position, he moves after Lady A silently, going for the warp home.
Nick Parker escapes into a warp zone.
Daos shakes his head slowly from his position way up in the sky, witnessing Amon's retreat back to the island right after the final Mutalisks withdraw. Didn't he /tell/ him not to underestimate these mortals? Looks like he will have to have another talk with his stubborn brother...
Gades is the grunt of the Fours. See how Amon ordered him around!? LIKE A DOG!...Well, not really, but whatever. He indeed follow his Brother's order, grinning wildly...He wanted to causes great harms to that mortal...And he have the perfect chance to do it! "You will NOT ESCAPE, ELF! FALL LIKE YOUR DISGUSTING CASTLE DID BEFOR MY MIGHT!" Insert here anoter mad rush, taking momentum with his sword wielded with two hands...then...FOOOOOOOORE!
Link has been knocked out!
What was that? Someone dissing his castle? Link glances back toward the lackey Sinistral as he hoofs it toward the warp zone, and is tempted to go after him. That is, until he remembers the excruciating pain he's in. It all matters not, however, as he isn't able to move fast enough to dodge the oncoming attack. Consciousness finally leaves him as he's flung into the air, and into the warp zone.
Well, that's the last, at least. Not looking back, Lady A rushes through the Warp Zone.
Jim Raynor escapes into a warp zone.
Link escapes into a warp zone.
Lady A escapes into a warp zone.
Palace of Power - Warp Zone Room
This room, the center of warp activity in Videoland, is a series of long hallways, warp zones sitting like multicolored pools of light against the walls, each one labeled, destinations certain for those who step into them. From here, you can go almost anywhere in Videoland, your imagination the only real limit to your destination.
Contents:
[Hero-IC] Epsilon says, "Heya heroes, s'up?"
Link collapses on the floor, unconscious. Stupid Sinistrals.
Jim Raynor lands on the floor with a crash and he notes the other marines are gone likely to the medical bay.
Lady A follows the heroes back to the palace. Her anger is evident, but... when Link collapses, she simply gives a stern sigh. "What you did was foolish," she says aloud, toward Link, though he cannot hear her. Then she lifts him up to carry him up to the medical area.
Link, properly scolded, doesn't fight when he's lifted and dragged toward the medical area. Not that he could fight, of course. But still.
[Hero-IC] Commander, Jim Raynor says, "The zerg making allies rather than just infesting them...I don't like this."
[Hero-IC] Epsilon hrms a little, "Sorry I couldn't be around to help, guys."
[Hero-IC] Lady A says, "Running headon assaults without proper preparation is ill-advised."
Palace of Power - Videoland Research and Development
This tower of the Palace, once another set of guest quarters, has been turned into a makeshift laboratory, numerous rooms holding hundreds of experiments, good scientists putting their skills to use making the most unusual devices imaginable. It is here that the scientists who built Kevin's Zapper work, and they continue to invent, making new and better devices to keep the Gamemasters equipped with the most up-to-date equipment possible. Never mind the loud explosions that occasionally rip through the area... it's natural.
Contents:
Obvious exits:
Link arrives from Palace of Power - Dining Room.
[Hero-IC] Epsilon says, "I'll say, unless you can back yourself up."
Epsilon is around, somewhere, recharging, yep.
Lady A arrives now, carrying an unconcious Link over one shoulder. The other hangs rather limply, looking injured. She leaves Link on a medbay cot, then walks over to begin to wrap her arm in a sling.
[Hero-IC] Nick Parker says, "Tch, running headon assaults without proper preparation is what I live for."
[Hero-IC] Naoya Toumou says, "And die for, too?"
[Hero-IC] Nick Parker says, "I ain't dead, last I checked."
[Hero-IC] Epsilon says, "He's still breathing, isn't he?"
[Hero-IC] Naoya Toumou says, "There's a time and a place for action. More often however, you can get better results with a good plan. Otherwise, you can run straight into something you could have avoided otherwise and lose everything."
Like the proverbial sack of potatoes, Link slumps down into the cot and just sorta lies there, not doing much of use.
Lady A finishes slinging her Pong-Paddle arm, wrapping it carefully, then, clearly angered, but quietly so, works on composing a report.
Epsilon takes a fairly deep breath before he slips his eyes open to look around some. "Coming off the field, I take it..."
Cube has been there the whole time, helping with the wounded.
Lady A looks at Epsilon, and nods, tersely. Then, she turns to leave... containing her ire which she would rather AVOID aiming in Jim's direction.
Mewtwo misses Nick Parker with his Thunderbolt attack.
"Flames of the Abyss far below the earth, rise upon my call and scorch this weakling upon my command! Breathe down a torrent of infernal fires upon his meek body for I am your master! FIRE DRAGON!"
And as Amon finishes, the earth shatters on the Hylian's flank, and a draconic head of pure flame emerges, breathing upon the green skirt wearin hero.
Amon strikes Link with his Fire Dragon attack.
The Meta Knight takes a few staggered steps back, simply unable to deflect the hand at such close ranges. Especially without the Amarant prepared for such a thing. The Dark Warrior now crouching a touch, his feet slowly sliding apart. The Amarant raised, held level with his eyeslits. Horizontal. The upper stance. Those demonic yellow eyes of his narrowing to mere slits, his voice cold. Calm. And utterly dark. NOT what one would expect from a blue powder puff.
"Your imbelic sense, I could forgive. Perhaps even the foolish insults. But to interrupt a /duel/ by attacking from behind... For that, Ape, you will SUFFER."
And, just like that, Meta Knight CHARGES!! The sword becomming a sudden flicker of light, little raining flashes. Probing how fast the skater can move!
Meta Knight misses Beat with his weak Fluttering Wing Sword attack.
Link misses Amon with his Stop Dissin' Me! Oh, And Stabby attack.
Nick Parker misses Mewtwo with his Black Widow Volt Autorifle attack.
Beat strikes Meta Knight with his trivial Happyface Paint Makeover attack.
Mewtwo strikes Nick Parker with his Telekinetic Punch attack.
The Amarant extended just a touch too far, Meta Knight taking one step too many. And winds up with a mask full of paint!! The Dimunitive Terror /LEAPING/ back, fins clapped across his eyeslits. To protect his eyes, obviously. He pauses. Lowers his fin, to slowly stare at the yellow paint there in.
Meta Knight now has a Happy Face.
A sudden, tiny SAKURA AURA OF EVIL wafts into being about the Dark Blade, as his temper - flares. Letting out a battlecry of "HuaaaAAAAH!!" He charges STRAIGHT for Beat! That mighty sword leaving glowing arcs to mark it's path.
Meta Knight strikes Beat with his AAH! Rabid Chibi Attack! attack.
Nathan Graves has arrived.
Gades misses Cube with his Mini-Destruct-o Wave In Da Fray That Miss And Hit And Stooopide Bunker attack.
Amon misses Link with his weak 8-Link, corner deku attack.
Nick Parker strikes Mewtwo with his Feather Proximity C4 smash attack.
Link strikes Amon with his Stabby 2.0 attack.
Beat strikes Meta Knight with his Literal smash attack.
Mewtwo strikes Nick Parker with his Charged Shadow Blast smash attack.
Amon strikes Link with his Brochettes are nice, but where's the dip? attack.
Nick Parker strikes Mewtwo with his Desert Eagle AE attack.
Jim Raynor strikes Nargil with his Come on you flying freaks come get some! attack.
Oi. THAT hurt. The Meta Knight, sliding to a halt after his most recent dicing of the Skater, is unable to turn and deflect! Thus, much like a powderpuff, he gets crushed to the floor! Quickly kicking back, rolling along the ground - and back up to his feet. Amarant snapped up again, then lowered. Point facing the ground, behind him. That Aura of EVIL beginning to build up once again. Meta Knight's dark, smooth voice slipping outwards:
"You are fast. I compliment you for that. But, like the wind, I can be /faster/... " Amarant suddenly begins to glow, green energy coallescing. "TorNaDo..." The sword is heft back, then swung in an upward arc HARD. A cutting edge of the blade traveling further than the dark blade itself, forming almost a tornado of pure slicing pain. "BLADE!"
Meta Knight strikes Beat with his Tornado Blade smash attack.
Cube strikes Jim Raynor with his Once Again, High Speed Opp healing attack.
Gades strikes Jim Raynor with his trivial Bash da Bunkah! attack.
Nargil misses Jim Raynor with his Yes, We WILL come get some, Preymeat! attack.
Link strikes Amon with his Taste Some Blunt Steel attack.
Amon misses Link with his Chaos Hold stun attack.
Mewtwo strikes Nick Parker with his Shadow Ball attack.
Beat strikes Meta Knight with his weak paintcan in the face attack.
Goes the spray can, onto Meta Knight's spikey shoulder pads. And just kinda bouncing off, doing little more than making him release a faint grunt and twist a bit. Amarant slowly lowered, those demonic yellow eyes narrowed to mere slits. And then some. That dark aura of Evil beginning to waft from him again.
"... So you say, while running with your back to me, coward..."
States the Dimunitive Terror. But lets Beat run. After all, there is no HONOR in stabbing a fleeing opponent in the back!
Jim Raynor strikes Nargil with his Where is my Can of Raid! attack.
Nick Parker strikes Mewtwo with his Scorpion Mass Driver smash attack.
Nargil strikes Jim Raynor with his Large Dead Squishy Object From Above attack.
Link strikes Amon with his weak Hi-ya! attack.
Mewtwo strikes Nick Parker with his Blizzard smash attack.
*crunch*
Yep, the kneecap...they always go for the kneecap ;_;
Amon raised his lance high to stop the hylian from connecting by stabbing him first but the blow came too slow, and the lance slowly dipped toward the green garbed hero, losing much of it's momentum in the process.
Amon misses Link with his weak lance poke attack.
Nick Parker strikes Mewtwo with his Pistol Whip stun attack.
And when he REAPPEARS? Why, it'll be - BEHIND LADY A! The soft snapping of his cape giving away his presence, his mask quite suddenly cleaned of it's yellow invader. Though still cracked a little.
Link strikes Amon with his One, Two, No Arm For You smash attack.
"Nuc-nuc-nuc-nuc-nuc-nuclear launch detected." Suddenly, a very large number of red laser dots appear all around the scattered hero forces.
Behold, the Champion of all that is Evil! The leader of the Meta Minions. The infallible Meta Knight!
There really isn't much to say about the blue powder puff. He looks vaguely harmless to those who don't realize the danger he represents, being only a couple of feet high and shaped like a dark blue ball. His body is perched atop black shoes, while two tiny fin-like nubs act as arms.
His choice of clothing, though, should leave one a bit of doubt as to the 'harmless' nature of this Blade Master. A cape of dark blue rests about his shoulders, hiding the sheath in which his infamous sword - The Amarant - is kept. The shoulders are spiked, to give the demuniative villian a far more wicked appearance.
The one thing, however, that he is known for above all else - is his mask. A blank dominic ordeal, half white and half black, it perches apparently without strings over his features. Forever shrouding his appearance, keeping it a mystery. Eyes can occasionally be seen as they glow with an unholy light, deep within the bar slit on the mask that he sees through.
Amon strikes Link with his Chaos Wave smash attack.
Bass.EXE has arrived.
Nargil strikes Jim Raynor with his weak Zergling Chao Anklebiter!!!!...and acid blood, too attack.
Jim Raynor strikes Nargil with his weak Take this you infested chibi demon spawn chao! back to the pit from which you were spawned! attack.
Link strikes Amon with his Tag, You're It attack.
Radiating and pulsing in view is a shower of power spreading through the whole Barrier. Upon the barracade of a fortress borderline, there is a creature floating upon the sky. The hot-pink aura is fuming and burning with sensation, condensed in a thick sphere. Inside the barrier is a small figure, wrapped in a brown poncho. The cloth is rather jagged at the end, but at the top reveals to be a hair of fins on the helmet. Besides that, the occassional crimson eyes are staring out. It is the Dark Navi, Bass, who has arrived.
Amon strikes Link with his You are the weakest Link, goodbye. attack.
Before he speaks. That same frozen, /polite/ voice that he always has used. A voice that just doesn't belong to anything that looks like a blue Kirby with a mask. "... How pleasant. The Lady A." A pause: "... I'm surprised you haven't turned that famous skill on those below. Your allies are in route, after all..."
Link strikes Amon with his Are We Dead Yet? attack.
Nick Parker strikes Mewtwo with his Roadkill Kitty attack.
Amon strikes Link with his weak Enter the Linkball attack.
States the Meta Knight, actually walking up BESIDES the infamous Prophet of Videoland. AS if there was nothing to it. Either it's a very polite way of insulting her abilities - or it's a very subtle way of complimenting her integrity. The Dark Chibi letting the warlord cape once more falling across his body, covering him completely. Save for the mask, of course. Merely gazing downwards with those glowing yellow eyes, his cape occasionally wafted by the breeze.
At last, a touch randomly, he states: "... Tch. There is no honor left in this battle. Now it is merely brute fisticuffs." Conversing with the enemy!
... NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED! delayed reaction
