Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

Dr. Zanasiu let loose a massive stream of profanities as his path was blocked off. He grabbed the radio. "Everyone! Go off road! If you have to run these f---ers over, do it!" he barked.

He then braked and slammed the SUV into reverse, not caring that he rear-ended the SUV that Neville was riding in. A sharp turn of the wheel later, he was now driving on the rocky desert road.

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

Neville unfastened his seatbelt and climbed into the back seat. He was just able to grab the sling of his empty SMG. He ejected the magazine and started loading the 9 mm cartridges. He nearly dropped them as the SUV jolted from Dr. Zanasiu accidentally rear-ending the SUV.

Dr. Bailey then followed Dr. Zanasiu's lead. "You know, I like to be optimistic but it's safe to say that we are completely f---ed."

"We've survived worse," Sharon narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "I'm not letting any of them touch my new mate!" She started crawling into the back of the car. "Shelton, get your @$$ back here! I need you!"

"Me?" He scrambled to comply.

Masters groaned as Sharon almost sat on his head. "Could you please be careful--" he started, but broke off as she removed his combat knife from its sheath. "Hey--!"

<Shelton?> ROSS cut in, causing him to wrench his attention from what was happening. <Your new arrivals were sending out a radio signal, but I secretly blocked it. They are not aware of my interception.>

Crota gripped his own knife and licked the blood off his fangs. "Haven't we seen that ninja before...?"

As the vehicles swerved off the road, the cloaked figure simply raised one hand, creating blasts of wind that ruptured all of the escaping SUV's tires. The other four figures each drew weapons, taking aim at the SUV's and waiting...

Serris · **Reply #4643 on:** January 07, 2012, 03:32:10 AM

Dr. Zanasiu wrestled with the wheel trying to keep the vehicle steady. Thankfully, the SUVs were armored and had run-flat tires.

"Don't stop!" Zachary shouted into the radio as Dr. Zanasiu tried to keep the large vehicle steady.

Spc. Crota rolled his eyes as Sharon called for Shelton. "What use is he in a fight?" he muttered.

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

Dr. Bailey was continuing to drive.

Neville carefully rolled down the window and fired a three round burst at the four figures in an attempt to get them to scatter.

"Kiara! Get your gun ready!" he shouted.

A groan from the backseat indicated that Alfred was now conscious. He clutched his head and groaned. "What the f--- just happened?" He looked around. "And where's Gustave!?"

"We've got hostiles but right now we're just trying to haul ass so we don't get killed!" Dr. Bailey shot back as gunshots struck the armored vehicle's side.

Shelton made a quick inventory of the items at his disposal, including somebody's lunch. <ROSS, I need help; what can I do with a propane tank, any pieces of an unloaded firearm, a repair kit, a first aid kit, and...some graham crackers?"

<You could make s'mores,> ROSS suggested. <The propane tank would help if you had anything such as a Bunsen burner.>

<No, I need to make something that kills people!>

<Hmm. How old are the graham crackers?>

<ROSS, goddamit!>

Meanwhile, Sharon had swiped Neville's fire extinguisher, and before he could protest she'd rolled it out the window at the enemy van with the most people near it, but not the van with the ninja. "Shoot it!" she directed him.

Neville waited until it was under the car and fired, hoping it would rupture the gas tank and make their vehicle explode.

The four enemies scattered, while the cloaked figure flickered out and reappeared in front of the SUV's, cutting the vehicle's chassis off of the wheels with a swift slash of his long blade before flickering out of view again...

Serris · **Reply #4646 on:** January 07, 2012, 11:31:42 PM

"Hang on!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted as the remains of the vehicle landed on the ground.

He then grabbed his pistol and flicked off the safety.

Zachary grunted as he was slammed against the armored window. "Not this again," he muttered.

Alfred swore as his head slammed into the back of Dr. Zanasiu's seat. "Now what?" he asked, rubbing his head.

"Now we kick ass... I hope," Spc. Crota said.

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

Dr. Bailey swore as he saw Dr. Zanasiu's SUV destroyed. He then unbuckled his seatbelt and grabbed the canister of pepper spray he had in the center console. "All right, everyone, things are going to get ugly."

Neville looked at Dr. Williams. "Dr. Williams, we need everyone who is capable of holding a gun to use one, can you do that?"

"She's still got that taser pistol or at least, I hope she does."

As James' car collapsed, Shelton hugged his contraption close to his chest.

"Hey, watch it!" Neville exclaimed, as Shelton bumped him.

"I'm sorry, I can't let this tip!" Shelton got back onto his knees.

"What is that thing?" asked Neville, glancing back between two shots at the ninja.

Shelton started to explain "The firing mechanism from a pistol loaded with alcohol from the first aid kit. It sends it into the propane tank, causing the pressure differen--"

Sharon grabbed the thing out of his hand, pulled the trigger, and lobbed it right at one of the ninja's associates, where it exploded millimeters from his face.

"All the good stuff in this car is gone." She contacted Bailey via thought chip, and CC'd Shelton. <What random things do you have in your car? Tell Shelton and I every thing!>

Masters groaned at the sound. "What is going on now...?" he glanced at Crota, expecting an explanation, but instead saw Crota hugging the car door. "Crota, what are you doing?"

"I'm gonna sneak around and take them from below," he replied, gripping his knife. " I'm small and dark; they wont see me coming."

"Yes, I still have my taser," Dr. Williams replied, withdrawing her weapon.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4649 on:** January 09, 2012, 01:14:05 AM

The first of the four hunters staggered back, clutching at his face, then opened fire on the SUV's several rounds ricocheting off the ground near Crota...

(OOC - Neville, Bailey, Kiara and Dr. Williams are in a separate SUV compared to Shelton and the others.

Neville used his SMG to take some shots at the dazed hunter.

Dr. Bailey scavenged what he could in the SUV. He placed the contents in the center console. All he got were some 9 mm cartridges, loose change, a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, a small LED flashlight and some spare car fuses.

<A full canister of pepper spray, some 9 mm cartridges-> Neville swiped the cartridges and loaded them into an empty magazine he pulled out of his pockets <-scratch that, spent 9 mm casings, some coins, a small LED flashlight, some car fuses, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Neville's got a submachine gun, which he's using, Kiara's got a loaded pistol and Dr. Williams has a taser pistol. I'll go ask them to empty their pockets.>

He then turned to everyone else in the vehicle. "Of you've got pockets, empty them this f---ing instant!" he ordered as bullets raked the armored SUV.

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

Spc. Crota managed to get behind one of the hunters. He reared up and aimed a stab at the hunter's kidneys.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4651 on:** January 10, 2012, 12:17:57 AM

The hunter Crota attacked seemed to vanish momentarily, making his stab go wide as the hunter reappeared behind him.
"Foolish. Didn't you think we could see you?"
She taunted...

(Washington DC Base)

Trinity nodded to O'Neil, placing her hand upon the scanner, but was rejected "The head admin? Hmm" she thought for a second before glancing to O'Neil, nodding to him "Wait here, I'll see if I can find Diertrik around here somewhere, though by the way things are around here, he's probabally dead, but no matter, I'll get what's needed from him"

She gave him one final nod before she rushed off in order to search for Dietrik's office, unsure on how much longer Zara would be able to hold off the creature for still. Eyes glanced around as she rushed down the hallway until he reached the office, the door in turn was open, as if it had been forced open and in she stepped, looking around as she approached a pool of blood.

Eyes looked at said pool of blood then up towards the ceiling and there he was, strung up by wires, yet, Trinity's eyes gazed upon Dietrik's hand, knowing full well what she needed from him. But all that was needed to do now was to get him down.

Serris · **Reply #4653 on:** January 10, 2012, 02:51:55 AM

Spc. Crota said nothing as he dropped down low and aimed a stab at the hunter's foot.

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

"Kiara, we could really use your pistol right now!" Neville said tersely as he changed magazines.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4654 on:** January 10, 2012, 02:59:35 AM

The female cloaked again, this time grabbing Crota by the neck and knocking his knife away.
"Nice try, serpent. But that won't work. You're lucky we have orders to capture you alive."
She taunted, squeezing his neck a little...

Serris · **Reply #4655 on:** January 10, 2012, 03:33:45 AM

"Hey dips---, didn't your mother ever tell you to never grab a snake?" Crota choked out. He then plunged his fangs into his assailant's hand and tried to inject a dose of his venom.

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

Sgt. Masters was slithering under the remains of the SUV. He planned to slice the hamstrings of anyone foolish enough to step near him, then finish them off with either his knife or venom.

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

Alfred crawled out from the SUV and noticed that the gas tank was leaking. "Psst, he whispered to his fellow passengers, anyone got a glass bottle or anything?"

"Don't tell me you're trying to use a Molotov cocktails against them," Zachary said as bullets whizzed overhead.

"Got any better ideas, my little pony?"

Zachary scowled as his ears flattened against his head. "Where did you hear that?!" he demanded. "My Little Pony" was an embarassing nickname that Keegan O'Neill gave to him (and which stuck) thanks to the fact that Zachary was quite a bit shorter than the average Clydesdale (Most Clydesdales were about 6'9". Zachary was only 6'. Of course, actual Ponies averaged about 4'10".)

"Overheard Crota mention it before."

Zachary made a mental note to ream out Spc. Crota - if they survived this.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4656 on:** January 10, 2012, 03:47:14 AM

The one who had grabbed Crota smirked.
"Go ahead and try. See, Dragonstorm anticipated that sort of tactic. Your poison won't work on us."
She mocked, as one of the other four, the burliest by far, knocked the SUV that Masters was under flying into a tree...

Serris · **Reply #4657 on:** January 10, 2012, 04:19:06 AM

Dr. Zanasiu drew his pistol and fired three rounds at the biggest threat, the assassin that had just knocked the SUV flying. He had assumed it was a Dragonstorm experiment as no one - not even Gustave or Alfred had that kind of strength.

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

Alfred got up, stretched his muscles and went over to a mile marker on the road. He wrapped his broad hands around it and uprooted it with seemingly no effort.

He then moved as silently as possible towards the assassin holding Spc. Crota and swung the signpost at her, intending to kill or at least incapacitate her.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4658 on:** January 10, 2012, 08:49:10 AM

Shelton held up a glass bottle, the one that had contained the alcohol from the first aid kit. "Did someone want this?"

"Yeah, like ten minutes ago!" Mongoose quipped.

Instead Shelton filled it with gas and handed it to James. "Shoot this in the air and it'll work like a grenade."

"This isn't enough!" grunted Zachary. "They're withstanding everything we throw at them! One of them survived what amounts to a grenade to the face!"

"I need to get to the other SUV, work with what they've got. Can anyone cover me?" Sharon asked, gauging to distance by eye.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4659 on:** January 10, 2012, 03:36:48 PM

The female holding Crota took the hit, staggering and dropping him as she turned.
"Hmph. Impressive. I can see why Dragonstorm wants you lot. As for me...I think I see something else that I want."
She mocked, cracking her neck and licking her lips. The hunter who had just thrown the SUV staggered back, looking down at his chest and growling.
"N-...That hurt. Surprising. But irrelevant. Now...you all are coming with us, whether you want to or not..."
He growled, the other two hunters joining him...
