Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

Jayden gave a nod back as he headed back into the hospital in order to find Garner and get him out of there before the SWAT team could do anything about it, and that was all before the truck had even arrived, so he was indeed, unaware of what was happening outside.

Meanwhile, back outside, Shakila was one of the others to hit the ground and quickly moved behind a car to avoid the gun shots "Can't we go anywhere now without something bad hapening to us?"

Aimee on the other hand, stayed upright, watching the Dragonstorm operatives get out of the truck, more or less just ready to take them on if she needed to.

Stern looked up and saw Aimee for the first time in a while. It looked like it was going to be a very bloody firefight. He was afraid that he might not make it, and the corporal didn't want to risk the vulpine girl's life.

"Run, Aimee! Go, save yourself! I'll be fine! Just run!"

"You...obviously haven't seen Aimee in action," retorted Shelton grimly. He stood next to Stern, his hands behind his back and tucked into his shirt.

"What are you doing?"

"Playing prisoner. You'll notice they're not shooting at me."

The human Cobalt teammate went down on one knee to steady his aim. "You could, I don't know, help us?!?"

"What do you propose I do? I'm weaponless and untrained with firearms."

The human looked away disgustedly and kept shooting. "How do they know you're a prisoner?"

"I just told them I was."

Shakila remained hidden for now, as she wasn't the kind to get into a firefight, especially having no idea on how to use a gun herself, well, hidden as best as she could as she still eyed the situation from her spot.

Aimee on the other hand, shook her head at Stern "No, I'm not about to let you get killed for no apparant reason....you've protected me long enough, so really, it's time for me to return the favour" she told him as she walked forward.

Noname · **Reply #924 on:** March 29, 2010, 09:26:55 PM

"The Aimee I knew needed rescuing by my more times that I could count! She can shoot, and she's quick but she has no sense of when to attack or retreat!" Stern pulled out his sub-machine and took aim at the advancing Dragonstorm agents, ready for a rather large firefight.

MrDrake · **Reply #925 on:** March 29, 2010, 09:32:56 PM

"You see? This is exactly why I don't want you to do anything reckless either!" Aimee looked over at the advancing Dragonstorm agents and just stood her ground for the time being "I'm not backing down"

Shakila was watching what was happening from her safe spot "Oh...they're going to get themselves killed if they're not careful...."

Noname · **Reply #926 on:** March 29, 2010, 09:38:58 PM

The Dragonstorm agents began to open fire, first in the direction of Stern, and then Aimee. The Corporal, for his part, began to dodge as best as he could, looking for cover while returning fire. If Aimee was not going to run, he could not retreat either, as he knew that running while she was in danger would almost certainly result in her death.

"Open fire! Open fire! Aimee! Look for cover and return fire!"

MrDrake · **Reply #927 on:** March 29, 2010, 09:41:23 PM

"Open fire!? With what!?" Aimee called back as she soon took cover behind a parked car to get out of sight at the very least anyway.

Aimee didn't even carry a weapon herself, so her returning fire would not work out at all, yet, she started to examine the area around, to see if she could instead, flank the Dragonstorm operatives instead.

"Damn it! I'm unarmed too!" Dr. Bailey groaned.

Zachary, Dr. Bailey, Alfred and Dr. Zanasiu were hiding behind in small drainage ditch on the other side of the road.

"Damn it! This time my strength won't help me," Alfred muttered.

"Actually it may, you said you can tip a 3 ton truck over with little effort, right?" Zachary asked.

"Yeah but what do you want me to do? Pick a car up and throw it at them?" Alfred snapped. "I exceed the strength of the strongest Human by quite a bit but I am not Colossus!"

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

Cobalt Leader and his two nonreptilian soldiers had ducked behind some pallets of concrete blocks just outside the construction site and returned fire.

Cobalt Leader caught one of the agents in the chest.

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters returned fire from underneath a dumpster on the other side of the road..

Neville was taking cover behind the dumpster that the two reptilian soldiers were shooting from. He took some shots at the Dragonstorm soldiers.

"You don't have a weapon?! Dear God, why are you even here, girl?! You cannot win a firefight without a firearm!" Stern continued to fight, but so far, no one had been shot yet, although this was due to evasion, not that Stern and the Dragonstorm agents weren't trying to shoot each other.

MrDrake · **Reply #930 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:01:04 PM

"You don't always need a gun to win a fight like this...." Aimee replied back, looking around for a moment as the car that she was behind, now had many holes in it as well as the windows of it shattered.

She noticed something at the construction sight where everyone else was and bolted over, rushing over to Alfred in particular "You think you could throw that?" she asked in regards to a nearby hand cement mixer, one that was her height, but she knew she would be able to throw it far enough if she tried.

Shakila on the other hand, was already on the other side of the street, doing what she could to stay out of sight from the Dragonstorm agents, basically, being cornered herself, having nowhere else to run.

Noname · **Reply #931 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:13:04 PM

Stern saw a Dragonstorm agent about to shoot Aimee with his sidearm.

BLAM!!

The agent dropped dead on the ground, having been shot through the head by an angry Corporal. No one would mess with Aimee while he was around.

A second later and that agent would have put a bullet into her snout.

Serris · **Reply #932 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:21:12 PM

(OOC - Assume that there are 2 construction sites facing each other and Alfred and his group are hiding in a ditch just outside the one on the other side of the street)

Alfred shrugged. "It's worth a try," he said. He quickly dashed over to the hand cement mixer and squatted down to lift it. He appeared to be putting some effort into lifting it but it did not seem to strain him. He eventually managed lift the 400 pound machine up to his chest.

"Catch!" he shouted, heaving the hand cement mixer at the agents, propelling the heavy projectile mostly with his legs. He then ducked back into the construction site.

Noname · **Reply #933 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:24:31 PM

The mixer went into the air, and although the agents dodged it, the time it took for them to get out of the way was all it took for Corporal Stern to get another shot in, killing another one.

BLAM!!

That was two down, over a dozen to go.

"That's it! Now how do you like it?! Come on! Is that the best Dragonstorm can do? Is that the best you've got?!" Stern's bravado was intended to distract as much as anything else, even as he knew it was putting his life in danger.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #934 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:24:59 PM

"I'm finding it hard to picture Aimee being rescued," admitted Shelton. "She was rather impressive earlier with a tree branch."

"Simpson, get down!" yelled one of the attacking Dragonstorm agents.

Shelton complied. He appeared to be the only one still in the middle of the road.

Serris · **Reply #935 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:29:56 PM

"Asiha, Dr. Landon, we could use some help now!" Dr. Zanasiu said as bullets flew overhead.

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

Spc. Crota reloaded his pistol and shot another agent in the chest, killing him.

Sgt. Masters was clearing a jam on his pistol.

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

Alfred massaged his arms and legs momentarily as throwing the cement mixer was an incredible amount of effort even for someone as strong as him.

He grabbed a large piece of concrete and heaved that over the fence at what he hoped was some Dragonstorm agents.

MrDrake · **Reply #936 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:31:35 PM

"Oh, this is not going to end well...." Shakila muttered, looking behind her at the construction site that appeared to be empty. She looked over at the other side of the road where everyone else was before she slipped back and just jumped into a nearby ditch on the construction sight.

Aimee on the other hand, examined what the Dragonstorm agents were doing "They're good...." she muttered, stepping back a little bit before picking up a brick from a pile of neatly stacked bricks before launching it as hard as her cybernetic arms would allow, at the nearest Dragonstorm agent, before following up with another brick.

Serris · **Reply #937 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:47:37 PM

Alfred picked up a piece of rebar and made a rude gesture towards one of the soldiers.

The soldier, a burly Clydesdale went into the construction site.

When he got there, all he saw was a stack of bricks near him and some piles of debris. Just as he turned to leave, Alfred leapt from his hiding place and hit him with the piece of rebar as hard as possible. The blow would have killed an ordinary Human but Clydesdales were much tougher than Humans.

The dazed soldier readied his shotgun to try and shoot Alfred but Alfred hit him several more times until he had literally wrapped the piece of rebar around the man's head.

He took the man's shotgun and checked its magazine. It was full.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #938 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:52:06 PM

<Simpson, hang on, we're coming to get you!>

<Don't try anything! They'll gun you down in the street!> Shelton replied anxiously. <I'll-I think I can crawl! Wait!>

But it was too late. With a signal, the entire Dragonstorm team leaped over their protective barriers and ran for Shelton. They quickly started falling one-by-one, but managed to drag Shelton to safety.

"Are you crazy?" protested Shelton. "You lost half your team!"

"It was worth it," the leader wiped his cheek, which had been grazed by a bullet. "We were sent to rescue you and DS-1. What have you found out?"

MrDrake · **Reply #939 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:53:57 PM

Shakila continued to hide out, that is, until a Dragonstorm agent noticed her and decided to go after her, to which she in turn, started to move back some more.

The human entered the construction site that Shakila was seen in and started to search for her, gun aimed and searching for the feline.

Aimee on the other hand, looked across the road "Uh, guys...." she spoke up "Shakila looks like she could be in trouble" she added in, but yet, could see that crossing the street at the moment was just a suicide mission.
