Insane Cafe 3: The Curse of the Haunted Hotel

[Kor]

"Wow, he actually did show up." Pete said as he smiled, amazed and always liking seeing him in action, or just seeing him.

---

Sara smiled to Tarrax, "Glad I could be here to fight beside you." Sara said to Tarrax as she took a brief break while keeping aware of things.

"Atomic Blaster!" Wargrowlmon said as he used the twin cannons on his chest to send out high powered atomic blasts at some enemy troops.  

Jason continued firing on some other enemy troops with his combined laser sword and laser pistol, attempting to keep aware of what was happening and of any new surprises that may pop up.

[Nick22]

Gadzuki minya and  Junior headed out after him " Come on pete! gadzuki said..
 - Stripetail's minions started marching out of the base..

[Serris]

"We'll fight here. We're used to fighting in open territory," Ceela said. Several of her troops took positions on the stairs and landings inside the convention center.

"Everyone, head deeper into the meeting rooms and bathrooms!" Dirk ordered.

Just as Dirk led some SPVDF volunteers into the meeting rooms, an enemy APC rammed the front of the building, shattering its glass windows and disgorging its cargo of soldiers.

Several more soldiers and metal troops followed. Almost immediately, they were met with a hail of deadly metal tipped arrows.

One of the troops took an arrow to the head. His partner dove behind a couch and returned fire. Some arrows stuck into the couch.

[Nick22]

Tarrax continued blasting away with  his fire breath, while Spyro witched his breath to earth, and Cynder switched hers to fear..
- Agumon and Agumina warpdigivolved to Wargreymon and WargReywomon, and started blasting away at the enemy the screams of the enemy troops as they were hit were deafening..
- Lets keep this up " wargreymon said to her. " We should see how the others are doing..
_ scooby Drove the MYstery Machine though the building, stopping in front of the stairs. Genki remained in the middle.' Looks like its just the three of us huh" Genki smirked " Just give me a good shot at them..

[Kor]

Sara first sent a wave of fire, then a wave of very icy cold, switching so the enemy could not get get use to any one attack.  Then she threw what looked like a plain white ball that when it was amidst an enemy group, who jumped aside thinking it was an explosive.  Instead of exploding it lashed out with chain lightning.  

---

Wargrowlmon saw Agumon and Agumina warpdigivolve and felt some envy since he wishes he could do that, and wondered why he could not.  He used his Atomic Blaster attack again.  Then charged up the blades on his arms.  Then shouting "Radiation Blade!" he shot them at some foes as a double bladed ranged weapon.  

--------------

"Yea, let's go." Pete said with a big smile on his face, going with Godzooky.  Always excited to see Godzilla in action.  

----------------

"Power Sword." Jason said, summoning the red zeo ranger power sword.  With that in hand he shot off a blast from the blade at some enemies before he attached it to the zeo laser pistol to make an powered up version of the combined laser sword and pistol.

[Serris]

Ceela was shot in the shoulder but her essential water powered healing factor let her continue shooting.

One of her archers was shot square in the head and was killed, despite the essential water powered healing factor.

Another soldier fell with an arrow through the throat.

Another archer accidentally shot an arrow at the Mystery Machine.

Yet another archer shot an arrow at one of the troops but it merely struck the hard armor plates, doing no harm.

------------------------------------

Mark took a breath. "Iselia is 60 miles to the west of Surf Point," he replied.

[Nick22]

so about 40 minutes from here. have they evacuated?' Briggins asked. Howw long have you lived in Iselia? he asked.
_ Stripetail continued creating minions and summoning spirits.  the magical energy he was using was considerable, yet he had no intentions of stopping. While he could not even the odds, there were far too many enemy forces for him to do that, he could  reduce the odds considerably.  the only limitation he would have to overcome, was time.. whether they could hold out long enough for him to create enough minions and metal soldiers to make a difference. Stripetail's powers were immense, but even they had limits..
 Dixie climbed iout of the Mystery Machine. "I'm heading up for a better view.. Scooby, just keep driving as best you can.. Genki, don't stop firing, no matter what.." She climbed out of the vabn and began running up the stairs..
-
 Angel, and Nani watched  the defenders took positions inside the building..

[Kor]

Ducky, Petrie and the dynaman rangers continued firing on enemy troops.  The Dynaman rangers then engaged some of the enemy using their swords that they pulled from nowhere while Petrie and Ducky continued using their powers to attack the enemy.  Petrie shooting lightning while Ducky shot ice spheres.

-----

Terry had suited up, which included adding over 100 lbs of muscle and was battling a group of soldiers alone.  Using a burst of his flamer pistol then jumping into their midst and started to punch and then use his monowire vibrablades so they'd not get use to any one attack.

[Nick22]

Tiger and Tigress set up positions inside a small theather. This must have been used to show movies as there were stil some videos strewn about " Oh! Can we take these movies?
_ Why? " Tiger game her a glance full of skepticism. "I mean, Genki has talked to us about movies.. Tigress said, her voice becoming quieter under Tiger's glare. " tigeress, we are in the middle.. of., a WAR! there's no time for watching movies like..  Five mOnsters at sunset, monsters vs moles, or Dopey Movie.."
 Well I'm bringing them.. " Tigeress said. "And where are you going to put them?
_ In Scooby's car' came the reply..
 -  Hunter continued driving the Rovermobile until they reached the end of a hallway " Come on Rovers, lets get into positions..

[Kor]

"Remember to leave me plenty of tushes to bite." The doberman said.

"You're obsessed with that.  Have you talked to a doctor about that?" The Siberian husky said to the doberman.  

The English sheepdog made some sounds.

"Indeed, a good idea." the Siberian husky said to the English sheepdog nodding.

"Why do I have to push the crazy doggie around?" The doberman asked.  

"He likes you though." The Siberian husky said to the doberman.

[Serris]

The radio in the base crackled and Dr. Zanasiu's voice came through along with the sound of gunshots and shouting. "Hey, the APC I was riding just drove over a mine and we're caught in the middle of an ambush."

Several Sang-Heili soldiers boarded another APC and headed out to assist.

--------------------------------------

Mark shook his head. "We attempted to evacuate as much as possible but many were killed or taken prisoner when Dragonstorm overran the town," he said. "What's worse is that I was born in Iselia."

--------------------------------------

The convention center echoed with the sound of gunshots as the soldiers streamed in.

One of the soldiers threw a grenade into a room, killing some Sang-Heili troopers.

Suddenly, two arrows were sticking out from his legs. He soon bled to death.

Another Dragonstorm trooper peered into a room only to be fatally shot at point-blank range by Dirk.

Ceela watched as one of her warriors was shot in the head and tumbled from the second floor. Another bullet missed her head. She nocked an arrow and fired it at an onrushing soldier.

[Nick22]

Outside the four dragons continued to fire away at the enemy..  Tarrax and sara had created a literal ring of fire around the convention center, still despite their efforts, enemy troops were reaching the center.
_
 Yes, that is a shame " Briggins said. "I don't hold out much hope for those taken captive, unfortunately.. hopefully those that evacuated have found safe refuge..as for us, we'll have to make do as best we can.."
-
Bulk and Skull ran to get Stripetail something to drink, as he continued to create more and more minions. he had now created nearly two hundred.  Skull grabbed a soda and placed in in a chair next to Stripetail " Here you , boss" He said nervously..
_ thank you Skull, I'll need that derink once I create a few dozen more.." stripetail said.

[Serris]

Setsuna gulped down another mana potion as she assisted Haresh.

Haresh drenched himself with the hose to cool off. He was producing several metal minions and arming them with charged pieces of metal or stones. In fact, some of them wielded bows or slings.

Several mechanics and soldiers were fetching scrap metal for him to work with.  

--------------------------------

"So am I free to go?" Mark asked.

"No you are not," Werner said.

Again, a burst of gunfire interrupted the court proceedings.

A scream was heard as an SPVDF machine gunner was shot in the arm. Two other guards quickly rushed him to the Great Valley for medical treatment.

[Nick22]

You may go back to your seat " Briggins said to mark. " lets hear from the final defendant now..
_ Stripetail worked until he had created a total of three hundred soldiers and minions., then he stopped, and sat down in a nearby chair, breathing rather heavily.. 'including the ones that you and setsuna have created, Haresh, how many have we made?' he asked, gazibg at the other two mages.
-
Nani drove around until she found a good soot to stop. She was on the fourth floor overlooking a stairwell..

[Serris]

"We made about 100. But several mechanics and soldiers helped us by either attaching the weapons or making the 'frames' for them," Haresh replied. A soldier handed him a can of soda which he drank.

Setsuna took a sip of some essential water.  

---------------------------

The Sang-Heili troopers arrived on the scene and engaged the enemy.

Dr. Zanasiu's APC in a residential area. A crater was in the road from where the APC had ran over the mine.

The APC itself was immobilized on the road and some of the soldiers took cover behind it and started firing at the Dragonstorm troopers. One of the soldiers was using the APC's mounted machine gun - at least until it ran out of ammunition.

---------------------------

"Captain Gatara, do you wish to testify?" Hans asked.

Captain Gatara nodded. "I will testify after the last defendant," he replied.

[Kor]

Petrie shot some lightning at some foes as Ducky took a moment to rest from using her Great Valley Ranger Guardian power.  

-----

Wargrowlmon used the cannons on his chest to fire at some other troops including their machines and devices.  Jason had jumped to be on his shoulder so he could get a better sight who to shoot at.

[Nick22]

so a grand total of 400. that will have to do for now" stripetail replied " go and rest up while you can. Retaking the city from Dragonstorm will not be easy, so we need to save as much energy as we can.
_ bRiggins called yup the final defendant " Please state your name sir.."

[Serris]

"Dwight Grayson," the man replied. He glanced around the room.

Captain Gatara was glaring at the three.

------------------------

Deimos was inside the kitchen having a drink when he heard voices. He drew his pistol and followed the noises.

He traced it to a Tiger kneeling down by the communications crystal.

"Chong, the forces in the Inglorious Hotel are-"

He was roughly cut off as Deimos seized him and held his pistol to the Tiger's head. "You know what the penalty for spying is, right?" he asked.

Deimos did not wait for a response before he cracked the man - hard - across the head with his pistol, either killing him or knocking him out.

He then dragged the man out to the shooting range and shot him in the back of the head. He then sprinkled a powder that Haresh made for rapid decomposing of bodies.

Deimos then headed back to the lobby where Mr. Bigmouth was sipping a glass of essential water.

"Anything new?" Mr. Bigmouth asked.

"Caught some f---ing ass---- relaying info to that p---- Chong," Deimos replied.

"What did you do to him?"

Deimos frowned. "What did you think I did? I put a bullet in his f---ing head," he replied.

Mr. Bigmouth sighed. "I'll alert Briggins," he said, putting down his glass of essential water and heading up the stairs.

------------------------

Inside the convention center, the enmey forces were thinning somewhat but Ceela and her allies began to run low on ammunition.

One of her troopers threw a couch from the third floor, where it crushed an unsuspecting Dragonstorm trooper.

------------------------

Dirk holstered his now empty pistol as he led his group further into the convention center. "Nani! I could use some back up!" he shouted. A bullet grazed his head as some Dragonstorm troopers pursued them.

One of the troopers rounded a corner only to get sprayed with a fire extinguisher by Al, who then beat her to death with it.

[Nick22]

nani proceeded to start firing her rifle and hit a number of DRagonstorm forces killing some and injuring others " it was then Stitch came into view, Angel was driving the car and Stitch starting firing rapidly those Nani hadn't killed were quickly slain.
_ Spyro landed to catch his breath outside. the sky had turned cloudy signaling that rain was coming.. "No time to rest Spyro, we cannot stop.."tarrax said. "Theres so many of them.. we can't keep this up gforever.." Cynder replied.
- Briggins turned to DWight" how long have you known the other defendants? Where are you from?

[Kor]

Moran threw some explosives before he went back to shooting with both of his pistols.   He also tosses the occasional hovergrenade as well.
