Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

[MrDrake]

Hailey had soon enough found Trinity once again, the two of them were alone at the moment as Trinity looked to Hailey "I'm rather dissapointed in you, you had such potential in you, and you threw it all away, and for what?"

"I chose it on my own..." Hailey begun, only to have Trinity interupt her.

"You chose? Oh, let me see, you find your friend, that....Aimee creature and you allow your emotions to get in the way? And for what?" Trinity added on as hailey growled some "Aww, did I hit a sensative nerve of yours? Is the subject of your Aimee friend too much for you?"

"Shut....up" Hailey growled back.

"You do realize that she doesn't really care for you, I was the one that helped you out, I was the one that cared for you and look what it comes to, you throw that all away, just for her?" Trinity chuckled back.

"No, you're lying, she does care for me....she always has..." Hailey replied, going a little quieter.

"Oh, don't kid yourself Hailey, she's only doing that to get what she wants" Trinity added on, smirking to herself some as well.

"No...no....no...." was all Hailey could say back, shaking her head a little bit as well.

Icarus looked at the rest of Colbat Squad who were still at a standstill with him, before Icarus pulled the trigger on his sniper rifle, aimed at one of the soldiers before straight away, reloading it again and firing a second shot at the second soldier.

(OOC: When I mean reload, I mean how they pulled the bolt part of the rifle to get the bullet to load in again)

[Nick22]

Dr Landon managed to get the bullet out of alfreds stomach and tossed it aside ' it missed your major organs, once again the thicvk skin protected you..lets see if i have any other.. oh, here we go' Ladon pulled out a second handkerchief and pressed it against the wound " hold it there until I can find some bandages and disinfectant.."

[Serris]

The shot struck the Human Cobalt soldier in the chest, severely wounding her. She drew her pistol and fired back at Icarus.

The Mongoose Cobalt soldier leapt into the stairwell as Icarus worked the bolt on his sniper rifle. He too returned fire.

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters slithered into the stairwell and also returned fire. They kept their bodies low to the ground.

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

Alfred held the handkerchief against his stomach wound. He figured that the wounds would heal in a month or so as they were not too deep to him.

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

Some of the guards aimed their weapons and Rhino and ordered him to lie down.

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

Cobalt Leader and Neville followed Aisha and the competition head to the back of the arena. There, they were led into a small banquet hall. It was surprisingly empty but lavishly decorated.

"Okay, what did we win?" Neville asked.

"Something's wrong," Cobalt Leader said.

"Yeah, let's get out of here."

"But your prizes!" the admin said.

"Well, enough s--- has happened that your f---ing prizes aren't worth risking our lives for!" Cobalt Leader snapped.

"That will be enough profanity from you." The admin whipped out a taser.

In reply Cobalt Leader drew his pistol. "Put the taser down!" he ordered. "I have live rounds in this pistol."

The sound of footsteps momentarily distracted Cobalt Leader. The admin fired the taser. The darts pierced his skin and jolted him with several thousand volts, sending him to the ground.

Several guards armed with Remington 870 shotguns and H&K MP-7 sub machineguns came rushing through the door at the far end banquet hall.

The admin turned to Neville and Aisha. "Now will you please come with me or do my men have to 'persuade' you?" he asked coldly.

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

"We have to find Trinity," said Shelton to Shakila, casting a nervous glace at Rhino. "Which way did Trinity go?"

[MrDrake]

Aimee continued to punch Marcus in the face, to which Marcus was getting weaker and weaker by the second, however, Marcus returned a punch back to Aimee again, striking her in the face.

Marcus stumbled back after that however, breathing a little heavily as well as he then pulled out his gun and aimed it at Aimee "Trinity wants you dead, and there is no way in hell I'm going to fail....sure Subject 19 is going to be pissed off with me, but hey, in the end, it's going to be worth it...." he smirked and went to fire only to be shot several times in the back.

The African-American male fell to his knees before recievign a shot in the back of his head, falling down to his stomach dead.

Behind Marcus stood Jayden who looked over to Aimee "You alright?"

Aimee gave a nod back "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for that" she replied back to him "I owe you one"

***

Rhino gave off a snort as he charged at the guards, to which they retaliated by opening fire on Rhino, one of them being killed as Rhino had grabbed him and slammed his head into the ground.

He then turned to another guard and grabbed her by the head before snapping her neck as they continued to open fire, at first, nothing seemed to be happening before one bullet pierced through and struck him in the shoulder.

***

Icarus continued to return fire back at them, his bullets were close to striking them, bit he could not quite hit the two reptiles on the ground as he continued to move backwards still as he fired in order to try and escape.

However, one bullet managed to strike him in the leg, to which he fell to the ground a little bit as a second bullet then struck him in the chest, however, he still attempted to fire back, firing one final bullet as he stood up before being shot in the throat, stumbling back and off the railings, falling to his death.

***

"Yeah, I'm not sure, and I don't think he's going to help us" Shakila added on, motioning to Rhino who was now dispensing of the guards....that is, until a body struck the ground right in front of the two of them, it was the body of Icarus as Shakila jumped back a bit as well "What the hell?"

[Serris]

Icarus's body fell down in front of the few shocked spectators who remained.

Spc. Crota then poked his head over the catwalk. "We need medical attention! Sharon Redfield's been shot and she's losing a lot of blood!"

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

Hans and Werner had "borrowed" shotguns loaded with slug rounds from the competitors. They then started shooting at Rhino.

Zachary had also joined in. He had "borrowed" a rifle from another competitor.

A nearby guard reloaded his pistol and continued shooting at Rhino.

(OOC - Sharon Redfield = Human Cobalt Soldier)

[MrDrake]

Rhino let off a roar of some sort as he was getting shot at, some bullets piercing his skin while some just struck his metal skin area as he grabbed another guard, slamming him into the ground before stepping onto his head, crushing it.  He then turned to face Hans and Werner next before starting to charge at them, his horn aimed for Hans.

***

Trinity chuckled "Do you hear that Hailey? The sound of people screaming, all this chaos....just music to my ears"

"Please stop this!" Hailey called back to her, in tears by the looks of things.

"I'm sorry, but I have no jurastiction over what Rhino does, they've already pissed him off enough as it is and that's what they bought upon themselves" Trinity replied, chuckling some more.

Hailey looked to the ground by that point before pulling out her gun and aiming it at Trinity "Stop this...please....I'm begging you...."

Trinity walked right up to Hailey, not even worried about what Hailey was doing as she smirked "And what if I decide not to do it? You'll shoot me? Look at yourself, you can't even come to grips to shooting me, you can't kill me"

Hailey was shaking some with the gun in her hand, but of course, she just could not come to grips with shooting Trinity either.

Trinity smirked some more as she raised her hand a bit and gave Hailey a stroke on the cheek a bit as well.

Hailey just looked to the side a little bit, yet, blushed some as well with what Trinity was doing as well before she did not expect her to do the next thing, by giving her a kiss, right on the lips as well.

Trinity just continued to smirk after having kissed Hailey on the lips before stepping back some and turning around to walk off.

Hailey just touched her lips after getting the kiss, not even realizing that Trinity had walked off, a little bit preoccupied as well as he thought was still going through her mind, as she did still hate Trinity, yet, hated herself as well for letting Trinity kiss her on the lips too.

By the time she realized what had happened, Trinity was out of sight, having escaped.

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

"Where's Landon?" asked the Mongoose soldier.

"I think he's tending to Alfred," said Sgt. Masters. "Who was the medic for Cobalt Squad?"

"That would be Sharon," the Mongoose replied grimly. He looked around. "Where's that idiot Shelton when you need him?"

(OOC: Can I ask where each character is in respect to everyone else? Who is within audio or visual range of who? Can Shelton hear the call for medical help?)

[MrDrake]

(OOC: Jayden and Aimee are still by Marcus' body, Shakila is still with Shelton, Kiara around somewhere and Hailey is now all alone after having let Trinity escape by accident....well it wasn't her fault, Trinity kissed her )

[Noname]

Corporal Stern heard a call for help. Having disarmed as many bombs and guns in the course as he could find, he ran to help.

[Serris]

(OOC - Zachary, Hans and Werner are shooting it out with Rhino. Dr. Bailey ran out to the parking lot after Rhino went after him. Dr. Zanasiu is in the stands. He could be contacted by the thought network.)

Hans quickly leapt over a bench, dodging Rhino's attack. He started to reload his weapon and continued shooting at Rhino.

Werner and the remaining guards still kept shooting.

Zachary reloaded his rifle and continued firing.

"Damn it! How much fire can this guy take!" he shouted.

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

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters were trying to stop Redfield from bleeding to death.

[MrDrake]

Rhino continued to take on the shoots, some bullets still piercing him while some failed to do so as he gave off another roar of some sort as one bullet stuck him right in the eye, the mechanical eye in question started to spark a little bit before giving off a small explosion.

Rhino grabbed a nearby bench and tossed it at three of the guard, killing the three of them instantly in the process before a stray bullet struck him in the chest.  Where he was shot, there was a bit of a spark as the core that was kept inside him had been struck.

***

Meanwhile, Kiara had found Hailey all alone, keeping her gun on her, just in case, that, and she did not know what had happened before with her, however, she saw Hailey just fall to her knees.

Kiara's ears twitched a little bit upon hearing some crying coming from Hailey as Kiara lowered her gun slightly as she approached her cautiously.

Hailey looked up at Kiara, but yet, said nothing at all, well, nothing much "Just....leave me alone...."

Kiara shook her head "No, I don't want to have to do that" she then offered a hand out to Hailey as well.

At first, Hailey seemed to be reluctant to do so before she grabbed onto Kiara's hand and got to her feet with Kiara's help.

Hailey was quiet at first before she spoke up "Where's Aimee?"

"Aimee? Oh, I see, I see, you must be her friend" Kiara replied back, taking a quick look around "Not too sure on where she is actually"

***

Aimee on the other hand, had approached Shakila "Where did Hailey rush off to?" she asked her once she saw that Hailey wasn't with her.

"I don't know, she went off after Trinity as far as I know" Shakila replied back.

***

Jayden however, approached Alfred and crouched down a little bit "I take it you'll pull through? I mean, you are a Bison after all, and I would hate to see someone such as yourself, dying on us" he spoke, joking a little bit as well.

[Serris]

Alfred grinned. "It'll take a hell of a lot more than that to keep me down. And next time you see Sgt. Masters, tell him to stop smoking those horrid cigarettes!" he said.

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

Werner reloaded as he backed away from Rhino. "I know Rhinos are tough but this is f---ing ridiculous!" he said.

Zachary sighed and continued firing at Rhino. "Too bad we don't have any heavier weaponry," he said.

[MrDrake]

Rhino continued to get shot at, his chest area sparking some more as he charged once again, this time at Werner.

***

Hailey looked to Kiara for a second and gave off a sigh "I guess I can find her later on" however, she then recalled something, looking back to Kiara once again before rushing off, this time, in the direction of where she saw Rhino last.

"Huh? Wait!" Kiara called out after her as she also followed her.

***

Aimee continued to talk with Shakila.....that was until she saw Hailey rush on by with Kiara following her "What the hell?" she asked herself before deciding to go after Hailey.

She stopped her, well, sort of, now running with her "Hailey, can you stop for a moment?"

"Sorry, not yet....Rhino....he needs to be stopped and I do remember how, it's something Trinity told me, you know, in case Rhino were to go insane sort of thing" Hailey replied back as she soon arrived on the scene with the shootout.

"No, it's too dangerous" Aimee told her.

Hailey groaned a little bit "I am not a little kid....this has to be done..." she told her friend before rushing off over to Zachary and the others.

Once with them, she quickly told Zachary something "To stop Rhino...you've got to shoot him in the stomach, well, stomach slash chest area....you should be able to penatrate his metal skin and strike his core....it's what keeps him alive, keeps his mechanical heart beating" she told him as she too started to open fire on Rhino with her pistol.

As his chest was being stuck, Rhino gave off another loud roar as he actually stumbled some as his core sparked even more while he slammed a hand down into the ground before ripping out part of the concrete and throwing it in the direction of Hans and Werner.

***

"Oh, don't you worry about that, I'll be sure to tell him" Jayden told Alfred back.

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

"Sir! I just saw the girl!" the head security guard shouted, as Hailey ran past them.

"Really?" Shelton rolled his eyes. "Remind me to give you a raise!"

He led the way after Hailey.

[MrDrake]

Shakila looked to Shelton "What are you doing!?" she called out after him "Can't you see that she's trying to help out?" she let off a groan as she Shelton had indeed, run off, being left alone at the moment.

***

Kiara looked to Hailey, speaking quietly to Aimee "What is her story anyway?"

"It's complicated, I can explain it more to you late on..." Aimee started to speak as she saw Shelton with head of security, heading for Hailey.

***

Rhino, however, even though he was blind in one eye, turned his head at the approaching Shelton and head of security as he grabbed a nearby pole out of the ground and threw it in their direction, much like a javelin in order to be impale one of them.

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

The pole punched through the head of security, sending the man's body flying backwards. Shelton hit the ground a few seconds later. "This wasn't my brightest plan!" he muttered to himself, gritting his teeth as Rhino bore down on him.

[MrDrake]

Hailey continued to shoot at Rhino still, the bullets were still piercing through his metalic skin as he continued to spark some more until it happened, a small explosion erupted from his chest, causing Rhino to stumble around some more.

His inner workings were now starting to fail him, as his core had been ruptured as he contined to stumble around some more, stumbling in the direction of Aimee and Kiara.

Hailey looked over "Look out!" she called out to the.

Aimee grabbed Kiara and jumped aside in the process to pull her out of the way of Rhino who fell to the ground where they had been standing a few seconds earlier on.

The red eye of his soon shut off as another small explosion erupted from him again, from out of his back this time round as Rhino had finally been stopped.

Hailey approached Aimee and Kiara "Are you okay?" she asked them.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Aimee replied back to Hailey.

Kiara gave a nod to Hailey "Yeah, same here, I'm alright"

[Serris]

Hans went up to Rhino and shot him again in the core for good measure.

He and Werner turned to Aimee. "We really need to get out of here," he said. "No telling what else Trinity has in store for us," he said.

Zachary brushed some concrete fragments from his headfur. "I don't give a s--- if Aimee, Cobalt Leader and Neville won the competition; we need to get them out of here before something bad happens to them," he said,

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

Alfred turned to Dr. Landon. "Doc, help the Cobalt soldier up in the catwalks. I'm much tougher than her so I don't need as much help," he said. He carefully pushed himself into a sitting position. "Damn it, I'll need to take it easy for today or something," he muttered.

[MrDrake]

"Yeah" Aimee begun as she looked to Hailey for a moment.

Hailey looked away a little bit, already feeling guilty that she had let Trinity escape like that.

"You okay?" Aimee asked her, to which Hailey just gave off a small nod back "You sure about that?"

"Yeah, I guess so" Hailey replied back, sighing a bit as well, not really wanting to tell anyone what had happened at the moment.

Shakila walked over to them by that point, looking to Hailey in particular "What happened with Trinity by the way? Did you catch her?"

Hailey wanted to speak and tell the truth, but yet, said nothing as she looked away again "If I told you the truth, you'll all probabally hate me for it...." she spoke with a bit of a sigh again.

"What are you talking about?" Kiara asked her, arching an eyebrow some, but only to see Hailey staying quiet again, not wanting to say anything.

***

Jayden looked to Dr. Landon "I can stay with Alfred if need be, you just go and help out that soldier"
