Alfred spotted the Chimera and looked around for something to throw it it. He settled on an oil drum that once held diesel fuel. He picked up the oil drum and heaved it at the Chimera.

When Subject 16 reufsed further treatment, Vic had to repack his medical kit and got up. "Crimson Squad! Let's move to the Lab!"

Snow had paused when trying to answer Neku, but something held her back, and when Vic gave the order, she turned to follow...

----------

"You must be the Anti-Dragonstorm group we heard about," replied Ivory Leader, a gray fox.

But just soon after, an explosion rocked the earth behind them and three of Ivory Squad's covering troopers were flung into the air...

"Sir! We got some armor coming our way!"

A group of five unmanned armored vehicles were coming at them...

----------

The three vehicles that turned for Dr Branston caught up with him. Two made a quick cover barricade while the third opened a hatch for him...

----------

The allied copters were busy engaging the enemy copters. The final Fire Scout was destroyed, but was quickly rectified with the destruction of three of the Dragonstorm copters...

----------

The guard impaled by Subject 19 reeled in intense pain, blood gushing from his mouth. But he did not die before he pulled the pins off two grenades on his vest and held on to her tail...

The other guard reached hastily for a full magazine containing high-explosive rounds for his rifle...

----------

"Damn! It's some kind of superbeast now!" cursed the A-10 leader. "Turn around and put some ASM missiles on it"

Over the outskirts of the city, the wing made another U-turn...

----------

The Dragonstorm satellite initiated another command. "DEFENSE MEASURES STAGE 2 INITIATING. AWAKENING ALL AVAILABLE EXPERIMENTS AT LAB 101."

----------

The box truck arrived at the Utah base, soon to park in front of the laboratory facility.

Dr Joe was driven back to headquarters for debriefing with General Sterm...

Subject 19 growled when the pins of two grenades pulled and quickly tried to toss him away, only to have him still holding onto her tail and exploding in the process from said grenades, which in turn, caused her to stumble some more.

She was bleeding a bit by that point, but yet, seemed to be still rather active as she walked over to the edge of the building and gave off another roar into the air to which she took off from the building, her next target was the second guard as she flew towards him.

***

The chimera immediatly shot its head towards Alfred and the thrown oil barrel, to which it spat some more fire at the oil barrel, to which it started to catch fire as the chimera jumped aside, but just barely as the oil barrel struck the ground and ignighted the grass in the process, both from the chimera firing at Hailey and Kira, and from the now burning, oil barrel.

"Oh crap...." Kiara spoke as fire started to spread around, cutting the two of them off from everyone else in a mere ring of fire.

The chimera roared again as it turned its attention back to Kiara and Hailey and slowly started to approach them, its snake's tail hissing at them in the process.

"What if we....try what Kratos did when he fought one? Cut off its tail, gouge out its eyes and stab it in the eye with its own horn" Hailey suggested.

"Kratos? Well, whoever he is....sounds like he has super strength, cause there is no way in hell you nor I will be able to tear off its horn" Kiara replied back as she eyed the chimera still.

Shelton finished the trek over to the primary generator. Two guards were standing at the entrance.

"Hey, I was...uh...sent to make sure the generator is working," Shelton improvised.

"We've been on guard since before the shooting began," the first guard said. "Nobody has gone in or out."

"That's what the guards at the back-up generator said, and it's been cut!" exclaimed Shelton. "Now let me past!"

Trusting his DS-1 status to protect him, he angrily pushed his way through the guards and marched to the generator.

It was then that he realized he had absolutely nothing that would help him shut down, damage, or even alter the settings of the generator. "Guess I'm stuck until Kerzach gets here..." he muttered, walking back to inform the guards that Kerzach had his permission to approach the generator.

Hawkeye fired a pair of rockets into the helicopters, bringing both of them down, then stopped, noticing the armored vehicles threatening Neku and Kagetora, but also seeing the Chimera...
________________________________________________________________________

Neku nodded at Ivory leader.
"Yeah. Talk later, deal with the tanks now, though."
He said calmly, sending an electrical surge into one, trying to overload the control system...

Kagetora, on the other hand, immediately broke cover, and raced for Kiara and Hailey, trying to make it to their side to fight the Chimera...

Serris · **Reply #2565 on:** July 18, 2010, 09:36:35 PM

Dr. Kerzach arrived at the main generator.

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

Alfred backed away from the ring of fire. He found a a bulldozer sitting near Lab 101. Apparently, it had been stolen from a nearby logging camp and used for clearing the forest. He opened the cab and found that someone had left the keys in it. He started up the engine and drove towards the Chimera, not caring that he ran over several enemy soldiers. Several bullets pierced the windshield but Zachary and Neville helped keep the soldiers at bay.

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

Cobalt Leader took advantage of the pandemonium to get into the armory and help himself to a "Picador" anti-tank rocket system. He ducked behind a fallen tree snapped a launch tube on and aimed at the nearest unarmed vehicle and fired.

Sgt. Masters and Spc. Crota were guarding him

Spc. Crota reloaded the rifle he swiped from a dead guard.

Sgt. Masters shot another soldier.

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

Dr. Branston picked up his "evac suitcase" and entered the armored vehicle. Several bullets from Hans and Werner pinged off the armor plate.

Aisha and Dr Landon Helped keep the enemies at bay, Dr Landon smirked slighly as and enemy soldier screamed in death-agony after being shot.. " Better get moving Alfred" He called out to him. " He can't hold them off forever..

Serris · **Reply #2567 on:** July 18, 2010, 09:42:50 PM

"I'd love to!" Alfred shouted back. Some blood was dripping down his face from a cut on his head. He noticed that his bulldozer was approaching the ring of fire and immediately leapt from the slow moving vehicle. In the process, he landed on and killed an unsuspecting Black Mamba Dragonstorm soldier.

MrDrake · **Reply #2568 on:** July 18, 2010, 09:50:36 PM

The snake's tail of the Chimera spat, what seemed to be some acid in the direction of Hailey and Kiara before jolting its head around as through the ring of fire came a bulldozer, aimed right for the mythological creature.

Seconds later, it was struck by the bulldozer and was thrown back a couple of feet, to which it growled at the group and instead of continuing to fight them, it took off past the two girls, through the ring of fire and was instead, heading towards Lab 101 itself.

***

Aimee had no real luck with the AA gun as she sighed some, but yet, glanced around to hear a growling sound and seconds later, she saw it in the distance, the Chimera that was running around loose.

"Now there's something you don't see everyday....." Aimee muttered to herself some as she decided to get into a higher position before running along the rooftop and seconds later, leapt off it.

In a blink of an eye, as one could say, she had landed on the back of the running Chimera, to which she grabbed it by the horns in order to steer the creature somewhat, yet, it didn't last too long as the snake's tail of the creature, retaliated and quickly struck Aimee's foot, to which the Chimera skidded to a halt, throwing Aimee off its back as it roared at her some more.

The creature was indeed, damaged a bit from the bulldazoer attack earlier on, but it was still determined to kill regardless as it eyed Aimee somewhat, with the tail hissing at her as well.

"You want to play rough?" Aimee asked it as she stood her ground "Come on then.....let's play

The Chimera took that as a chance to charge at Aimee some, but before it got close enough, it jumped to the side and spat some fire at her instead.

Aimee retaliated by ducking underneath the mouth of the Chimera just in time, to which all she could do was to punch it in the jaw. The Chimera turned to escape, only for Aimee to grab it by its tail "Not so fast...." she grinned and pulled against it, only for the Chimera to turn around and swing a claw in her direction instead, knocking her backwards.

Serris · **Reply #2569 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:06:55 PM

"Aisha, Dr. Landon, cover me! I'm going to attack the Chimera!" Alfred yelled. He noticed a a pickax propping open a door of Lab 101. He spotted Aimee and the Chimera fighting in the distance.

He snatched the pickax and charged the Chimera, which had its back to him. He raised the pickax over his head and slammed the point as deep as possible into its back. He then tried to pull it free but realized that his weapon was lodged into the creature.

At this point, two Bison guards spotted Alfred and started shooting him. He quickly ran and took cover behind the nonfunctional backup generator.

Nick22 · **Reply #2570 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:13:06 PM

Both Dr Landon and Aisha opened fire , but the Chimera was pretty far away for thei guns to hit with any reliable accuracy " We need to get closer!' Aisha said.. as she made her way closer towards the Chimera..

MrDrake · **Reply #2571 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:18:56 PM

The Chimera growled and roared as the pickaxe was struck into its back as it begun to stumble around somewhat as well.

It had become weaker, but yet, was still determined to fight as the tail hiss and started to spit acid in the direction of where Alfred was, but of course it missed as Alfred had gotten too far from it, to which it turned its attention back onto Aimee instead.

"What the? It still wants to fight, even with a pickaxe in its back?" Aimee asked herself as the Chimera started to charge at her. Aimee managed to jump aside as the Chimera skidded to another halt with a roar.

Aimee stood back up again and quickly raised up her arm to stop the Chimera from striking down at her, to which she punched it back in the face again before grabbing it by the head and slamming it down onto the ground.

Taking this oppertunity of the slightly dazed Chimera, she instead attempted to to do what Alfred failed to do, remove the pickaxe from the back of the Chimera as she grabbed onto the hand and started to pull at it, but instead of removing the pickaxe.....she had managed to instead, snap off the handle of it from the head of it.

She looked at the broken handle and retaliated by stabbing it in one of its eyes with the broken handle.

The Chimera growled again, now blind in one eye as it turned and took off once again to somewhere else within the Lab 101 grounds.

Aimee wanted to follow it to try and take it down, but decided to instead, help out Alfred as she threw the broken handle with force, much like a javelin at one of the attacking Bison guards.

Serris · **Reply #2572 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:33:00 PM

The pickaxe handle impaled the guard through the throat. The guard coughed up blood as he dropped to the ground. The other guard looked around for an intruder but was caught off guard when Alfred clobbered him with a log. The dazed guard tried to shoot Alfred but he was struck again by the log, taking him to the ground for good. He swiped the man's shotgun and stripped his body, taking away all the shotgun shells he needed, along with a flashbang.

He also took the other man's shotgun shells.

Alfred quickly looked around for more targets. Finding none he, got out from behind cover and met with Aimee.

"Aimee, Dr. Landon, Aisha, I'm going to need your help to raid Dr. Zenarchis's lab!" he shouted over the din of battle.

MrDrake · **Reply #2573 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:38:02 PM

"Sure thing, but what about that Chimera, that thing just refuses to die" Aimee replied back to Alfred as she folded her arms "Either that, or it's getting afraid, running from battle each time" she added on with a little shrug.

Although, she thought for a moment as well "I guess we could leave it be for the being and get this office raided while we have the chance" she told Alfred mainly, but also Aisha and Dr. Landon.

***

The Chimera in question, was actually, now, starting to get dangerously close to where Shelton was as it gave off another roar, slowing down its run to a walk by that point, leaving behind it, dead guards that were caught from the running Chimera.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2574 on:** July 19, 2010, 03:01:55 AM

Some of the unmanned armored vehicles have armor equivelant to today's military armor, but their weapons, rail guns, coil guns, and plasma guns, were something different...

Explosions increased across the battleground, one of which took out two more of the Ivory Squad, before they reached the compound that held Lab 101...

----------

The vehicles guarding Dr Branston began to make an exit from the site, racing across the carnage of the landscape and blasting at anything that moved...

----------

One of the helicopters noticed the fleeing group and radioed the teams. "We got someone leaving the party!"

"Can you take it out?" Vic replied.

"We're a little busy with some unfriendlies here!"

"Pull back from the bogeys! Ice! Ground them!"

"Yes sir!" answered Ice, and he ran to position himself underneath the strange copters. With a deep breath, the Wolf lets out a loud, almost metallic, howl. With this howl, the moisture in the air began to freeze in a path towards three unmanned copters and reached them. The rotary mechanics of the choppers froze and locked up, and the machines fell to the ground. Ice ran back to his team to avoid gunfire from the Dragonstorm soldiers...

----------

Within Lab 101, under the Dragonstorm satellite's commaned, other fully formed experiments began to awaken and break from their chambers, one of which, a human, disintegrated into a vapor and seeped through cracks in his cell, then reintegrating to normal...

----------

The second guard raised his rifle at the oncoming monster and immediately fired, taking only seconds to unload the magazine full of high-explosive rounds...

Azrael also launched a volley of gunfire from his post at Subject 19...

----------

Dr Joe, Diego, and Walter meet at General Sterm's office.

"I see that the intercept on the convoy was a success," the general started, "and that we got one of their trucks. What I don't see is why you are not back at the lab working with the others on perfecting that weapon, Professor."

"I just wanted to see how Vic and the others are doing, General."

"If you must know, Crimson and Ivory Squads are now engaging forces at Lab 101. We got word of the appearance of not only their experiments, but some army of robots... To create your weapon would be the best option to finish this war."

"Begging your pardon, sir," Diego said. "I've already had much of the box truck examined as it was parked in front of the lab. It seems that the tubes containing the experiments had some sort of fail-safe system. The specimens may not be alive for any use..."

"Damn..." replied Dr Joe and General Sterm together...

Just then, Emerson and Chase walked in. Emerson was carrying a large silver suitcase. Chase ran to Dr Joe's side.

"I found this in the car," Emerson said, placing it down on the general's desk. "Chase here just suddenly told me about the case. It must have been left behind by accident."

"Where did it come from?" General Sterm questioned.

"I've seen that before," Walter answered. "It was in the truck we brought in..."

"Chase said something else too," Emerson added.

Before he could continue, Diego suddenly drew his gun and fired at Emerson, hitting him in the shoulder, and then fired three shots into General Sterm. Walter stood between Diego and Dr Joe and Chase, conjuring a shield to repel four more bullets and thrusted it into Diego and knock him against the wall.

Dr Joe quickly rushed around the general's desk and into a drawer, grabbing a revolver, and puts a single shot into Diego's skull, blood painting the wall behind him...

MrDrake · **Reply #2575 on:** July 19, 2010, 03:31:13 AM

Subject 19 had not expected to get struck by high explosive rounds and was blasted out of the sky and back down to the ground, being slammed down onto a car.

She lay there for a few seconds before growling and groaning some, to which she moved some and slowly stood back up as she looked to her wounds for a second, yet, seemed to ignore them in the end as she got off the dented car, opening up the door of said car and kicked it back, right off its hinges.

Taking the door off the car, she noticed some more army cadets rushing up, to which she threw the car door like a discus, with enough force to cause each of the army cadets to be sliced in half with another roar, deciding to, for the time being, leave Azraei and his bodyguard alone.

***

Kiara looked to Hailey, then looked to the ring of fire, well, save for the entrance from where the bulldozer had ran through, having given enough froom for the two girls to escape the ring of fire themselves as they got to a safe distance from it.

Kiara looked to Kagetora whom was approaching them "You're late...." she joked come to him.

***

Subject 16 on the other hand, left Ice and the others to take care of the attacking forces as he continued to walk on to the best of his ability, only to stop to notice the Chimera not too far from his position.

As he found that everyone else was busy, he decided it would be best to take care of the creature himself as he slowly approached the creature.

The Chimera hear the footsteps and turned its head quickly to see Subject 16 approach as it roared at him as its tail hissed at him as well before eying him somewhat.

Deep inside, he was indeed, sorry that he had ignored their medical treatment, but he knew that there more important matters to worry about than his general well-being as he continued to approach the Chimera.

The Chimera started to rush at Subject 16, deciding to first, assult him with its claws. Subject 16, however, pulled out his blade and swung it at the Chimera, striking it across the arm and chest, all in one swing of his blade, but stumble some from his wounds.

The Chimera growled from the pain that was caused to it as it stepped back a little bit and got ready to breathe fire at Subject 16.

Subject 16 saw this "Aww, hell no...." was all he could say as he used his blade to impale it in the mouth just as it begun to breath fire. He did his best to ram the blade down the throat of the Chimera as fire was breathed upon him still.

Subject 16 twisted the blade a little bit and managed to kill the Chimera in the process as he let go of the blade, the fire having now burned his skin rather badly by the point, watching as the Chimera fell to the ground dead.

The blind old man then had to then fall to his hands and knees as the fire continued to burn on his clothes, burning at his skin giving him rather bad burns as he looked to the dead Chimera, giving off a smile himself before falling flat down onto his stomach, not moving at all....he had died himself.

"Kerzach, my buddy!" Shelton threw his arms around him. "You look well! What's happened in my absence?"

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2577 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:50:06 PM

With both their rifles emptied to halt Subject 19's attack, Azrael and his cohort reloaded and looked over the side of the building to see the end result, only to realize that she still had some fight in her when she mowed down a group of soldiers...

----------

The creature falling from the skyscrapers avoided a potential barrage of missiles ready to launch from the A-10s, so they flew over the city without being able to get another shot. What's worse is that they're running low on fuel and must return to base, which is under damage assessment from the attack from space.

"We must RTB," the wing leader said. "Get a call down to ground forces to put some tanks against this thing! It won't go down easily!"

The wing speeds off to home base...

----------

As the Crimson Squad reached where Subject 16 had fell, Ice had blown away the remaining flames and picked up the limp body to the side of the building, sheltered from most of the action.

Vic helped in propping Subject 16 up against the wall and checked him again, only to find that there is no more life in him. Vic cursed and slammed his fist into the wall...

----------

Seconds later, guards rushed into the office to find what looked like a war zone. Diego lies dead, Emerson was wounded but alive, General Sterm was barely conscious, and Dr Joe with a revolver in her hand.

Dr Joe set the gun back down on the table and rushed to the general's side to check on him. "He's alive, but he needs treatment fast! Get him and Agent Emerson to the emergency room!"

The soldiers saluted and carefully carried Emerson and General Sterm out of the office.

Chase ran back to Dr Joe's side and held her tight. With Chase under one arm, Dr Joe turned to the case and opened it. Within were large hollow projectiles built for a 50 caliber weapon. These were filled with some sort of green liquid. "Walter, take this to the others back at the lab. They may want to have a look at it."

"Yes ma'am," Walter replied, and took the case from the desk and out of the room...

MrDrake · **Reply #2578 on:** July 20, 2010, 05:09:35 AM

After Subject 19 had taken care of the group of soldiers, she took a look around before flexing her claws and then called out to anyone in particular "Is there no one else that can fight me!? Is there no one else that can give me a decent challenge!? All I get are these, worthless, pathetic, waste of time mortals! No....what I now wish to fight is a God!" she ended up calling out.

She had indeed, become rather bored with fighting soldiers, policemen and other weak mortals, she did indeed want something decent to fight, and to her, she did want to test out her new found powers on something worthwhile, something like an actual God, but of course the question remained.....where would she find a God to actually fight.

What was more, it seemed as though she had become obsessed with power as she was enjoying her newley aquired form as she gave off a rather loud roar which seemed to echo throughout the whole entire city.

***

Jayden on the other hand, had decided to try and find out where Subject 16 had ran off to, not knowing that he had recently passed away, coming across Vic and the others.

He was about to say something to the group when he noticed who they were holding "What the hell?" he asked as he rushed up to them, taking a quick look over at the Chimera before looking back to Subject 16 again.

He sighed slightly and growned some as well as he looked to Vic "What just happened here? I mean, Subject 16 here was only suppose to head to the generators and return to us, seems like something else had come up as well...." he spoke as he looked to the Chimera again, approaching the dead creature, crouching down to its level.

He grabbed the head of it and moved it some, looking into the mouth of it as he saw Subject 16's cane lodged into it "I take it 16 took care of this thing?"

Nick22 · **Reply #2579 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:23:00 PM

We're On it!' Aisha said " just give us a bit more time to get into positions1 Hopefully they haven't cleaned it out, by now, which is always a possibility.."
