"No, we're not....I just got wrapped up in all of this mess because of some....idiota scientist....what you would call, an idiot" Zyanya answered Sharon back as her eyes just remained upon Nixx all the while "And in all of that mess, I ran into her....she's like some sort of experimento loco" she added in, tapping the side of her head, trying to indicate that Nixx was just insane "She thinks that I'm some sort of worthy opponent or something like that....I don't know why myself....and yes, it is true, I did supposedly kill her once before....but apparantly, that didn't work"

Aimee just looked at Nixx herself and stepped backwards towards Sharon and Zyanya, eyes upon the South American girl for a few moments, then back to Nixx again. She placed two of her fingers to her forehead in thought for a second "Listen, we're kind of in the middle of something here, trying to destroy this place, stop and AI and all that....so if you and Nixx there want to tag along and help us out, that's fine....we'll sort the rest of this out later, alright"

Zyanya just eyed Nixx back "Fine....since I'm stuck here because of her and-"

Nixx however, cut Zyanya off mid-sentence "Sorry, but her and I, we've still got another round to finish....so stopping this AI thing....it's gonna have to wait"

Zyanya however, just narrowed her eyes at Nixx "Oh no, do not start that with me again....we'll finish our round afterwards, unlike you, I don't have time to fight you every second of the day, so either help us, or get lost"

Aimee looked to Sharon, leaning in to whisper to her more quietly "Hey, we could use the help anyway, cause honestly, I've no clue on what this AI is suppose to be like, nor on what other sort of robots we've got to face around here....though, I still don't essentially trust her" she motioned towards Nixx "Her mind just seems to be unhinged and all that....as in, not....normal"

"It all depends on if this AI thing will be a fun fight....cause honestly, I don't want to have to start fighting it and get bored throughout the fight and have to leave cause of that" Nixx replied back.

(ooc: Oh yeah, just another small note I forgot to mention before....both Nixx and Zyanya are 17 years of age, just so you get a better idea of what they look like is all XD)

While they waited for Gustave to clear the barbed wire from the roof, Landon checked his supplies and amount of ammo for his gun.. everything seems to be in order he said to himself ' once we get up there, whats our target? he asked..

Serris · **Reply #4942 on:** May 23, 2012, 08:48:17 AM

"The control room," Dr. Zanasiu said. "Once we get inside, we can link up to Shelton and his crew. Thus coordinating our actions."

Zachary returned with a second ladder. "Sgt. Masters said that it's likely that we'll need to descend into the control room with this."

There was then the sound of tearing metal and breaking wire as Gustave ripped away the barbed wire. He picked up the coils ó barehanded thanks to his thick scales ó and tossed them into the water.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a metal door opening. He turned around and saw two combat robots emerging from an alcove. As his gun was with the others, he improvised. He picked up a long piece of rebar that was left over from making the grappling hook and jammed it through the robot's chest, destroying its computer core. He tackled the other robot, driving it into a steel door, denting it. The blow must have scrambled some instruments inside as the robot started looking around and its guns were aiming in random directions.

Gustave then hoisted the eight hundred plus pound robot over his head and tossed it into the harbor where it sane beneath tbe waves."

"Guys, everything's ready to go," he said. He swore as the ache in his sides and arms returned.

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

Alfred hurled a nearby filing cabinet at the turret only to watch it get reduced to a cloud of rust. Loose papers drifted to the floor. "Damn it! There's gotta be something that this turret can'r destroy!"

Neville put his knife away and drew his pistol. He fired several shots at it only to see the bullets ping off the turret's heavy armor. "All we can do is either go around it or somehow disable it."

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

When the robot got within range, Sharon injected the snack machine's entire coolant charge into the robot's chest where its batteries were. Thanks to a defective seal, the charging port dislodged when she jammed a pipe into the recharge port. As the batteries required a hot environment to function, the robot began to power down. Knowing that this incapacitation was temporary, she forced open the robot's access panel and severed all the wires to the battery.

Lets get up there then " aisha said she was the first to climb up the steps and it took ony a few seconds to get to the roof and through the large gap in the barbedwire.. Landon was next and gazed around at the roof. there were siome impacts in the roof from the recent battle ' you never do anything subtlely do you Gustave? aishas remarked as they waited for the others..

MrDrake · **Reply #4944 on:** May 24, 2012, 03:21:06 AM

Nixx walked over to Sharon and glanced down at the robot as she placed her arm onto Sharon's shoulder "Not bad, not bad at all" she then tapped her chin in thought before she just simply stepped over the robot and started to walk off.

"Uh, where are you going?" Aimee asked Nixx.

"I've got to go and find something, you'll know what it is when I return....so go and fight the rest of the robots and then, go and fight that other thing that's around here, that AI thing I keep on hearing about" Nixx added in as she just waved the group off and simply walked away without another word.

"Just be thankful you were able to get rid of her for the time being" Zyanya added in, watching Nixx walk away.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4945 on:** May 25, 2012, 09:08:11 PM

Neku smirked, tossing his sword into the enemy robot.
"Well, that was...disappointing..."
He mocked the robot...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4946 on:** May 27, 2012, 03:58:02 PM

"Its a robot, Neku, it probably can't understand you!" Sharon knelt down in front of the robot she'd defeated and forcibly cut its arm cannon out of its body. She cocked and let loose a strem if armor-piercing bullets into the chassis of another robot.

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

"Hawkeye, take cover! " yelled Shelton.

Neville's pistol was hit by a rust beam and corroded inti metal splinters. He swore, trying to wipe them off his hand and embedding some in his skin.
Afred started to pry a metallic floor tile off the ground, to use as armor or possibly a weapon.

MrDrake · **Reply #4947 on:** May 28, 2012, 04:40:57 AM

Aimee stood her ground, glancing to Zyanya "Well, I guess it's time to show us how well you can fight" she spoke up to the South American girl.

Zyanya just nodded back "Tr·igalo...." was all she spoke up before she rushed forward, right past Aimee, crouching straight away as she avoided the swing of a robot's arm, bringing up a fist to the robot's lower jaw as she quickly used her other hand to latch onto the robot's cannon arm, pulling it around in order to aim at another robot. She used her other hand to squeeze the trigger of the cannon, frying the robot it was aimed at before repeating the process again on another one, and then a third one.

Aimee just stood there, eyeing each of the robots "How many more of these damn things are there? And where the hell do they keep on coming from?" she had to at least question.

***

(Elsewhere)

Nixx just hummed away to herself, humming just a simple tune, in particular, the one called "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" as she walked down one of the hallways. Two robots were seen not that far away from her and already, took notice of her presence, yet, Nixx didn't even seem to care herself as she continued enroute towards the robots.

But as she got closer, a third robot appeared with what seemed to have an arc cannon of some sort attached to its arm. The robot in question was much bulkier than the usual types as it took aim on Nixx, powering up a blast before releasing it.

Nixx still continued on her way forward, yet, moving her body to the side as the blast moved right past her, singeing the front part of her shirt as she did so "Huh....that was a close one...." she spoke to herself and stood there for just a moment, her shirt still smoking a little as she glanced down at her now, ruined shirt before she just shrugged it off "Ah well" was all she had said as she looked at the robot as it begun to charge another shot from the arc cannon.

Nixx just tapped her chin for a moment and got an idea, her hands turning to metal as she dashed forward. She bought out those same wings from eariler again, alowing for her to jump and in turn, take flight over the bulkier robot, landing on the ground behind it, grabbing onto the two other robots by their heads and slamming them together repeatedly.

As soon as they dropped, she grabbed one of the smaller cannons that one of the smaller robots were carrying and ripped it out of its grasp and in turn, jammed it right into the arc cannon.

The robot looked at the arc cannon for a moment before the arc cannon itself just simply exploded, destroying the robot in the process....and in turn, knocking Nixx onto her back.

Though Nixx soon, just stood back up again as she just seemed to dust herself off, even if her shirt was ruined, though still....somewhat intact as she let off a sigh "And all I wanted to do was get some music...." she muttered to herself as she turned and just continued on her way, changing the tune of what she was humming to something else instead.

Serris · **Reply #4948 on:** May 30, 2012, 01:08:00 AM

Gustave shrugged. "Shock and awe's my style," he said. He held the ladder steady as Dr. Zanasiu climbed onto the roof.

Zachary attached the bag containing the tools to breach the roof to a piece of spare rope. "Okay, James! Haul it up!"

Dr. Zanasiu nodded and started hauling the rope up. When the bag reached the top, he opened it up to reveal a set of insulated bolt cutters and a reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade. He swore; he needed a hammer and chisel something to break apart the concrete. "Hey anyone got a sledgehammer?"

The Mongoose Cobalt soldier returned with a sledgehammer he had taken from a closet. He then tied it to the rope.

"Landon! Aisha! You mind getting up here and helping me open up the roof?" Dr. Zanasiu shouted down from the roof.

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

Alfred ripped out the large metal slab which barely covered his whole body. He held it in front of himself and charged towards the turret. The frangible rounds the miniguns fired shattered into metal dust when they struck the heavy piece of metal. Of course, the rust beam shots began eating away at the slab.

When the slab was just about rusted away, Alfred was behind the turret. Thanks to how rusty it was, the turret was unable to fully turn 360 degrees.

The Bison took advantage of this fact and ripped out the ammunition feed for the twin miniguns."

"Shelton! Neville! The miniguns are out of commission!" Alfred shouted. "But avoid the beams from the main turret or you'll have no way to fight!"

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4949 on:** June 01, 2012, 03:57:10 AM

Neku flipped over another robot, beam swords wrapped around it's neck, sending it's head flying off, landing near Cale, who had stabbed another robot through the chest with a dozen daggers, leaving it staggering as he finished it off with another lightning blast to it's face.
"Who knows? All I can tell you is that they're really starting to get on my nerves!"
Cale said, hissing as another one rushed him...
_____________________________________________________________________

Hawkeye ducked behind a wall, trying to avoid the rusting effects of the cannon as Kagetora ran forward, flipping past the cannon's shots, finally sliding towards it and slicing the base neatly in half, sending the cannon to the floor sparking...

MrDrake · **Reply #4950 on:** June 01, 2012, 04:18:23 AM

"Yeah, and it doesn't help the fact that that Nixx girl just left us alone instead of helping us out" Aimee added in as she punched another robot in the face before moving backwards again, out of range of another robot that attempted to grab onto her.

"Then I suggest that if we to survive against these machines, that we run...if they are going to keep on coming" Zyanya added in "My suggestion as well, is that we find out where all these machines are coming from, destroy their...." she clicked her fingers a few times, trying to think on the word she was after "Power source and it should stop all these machines from attacking us"

"I don't know about that one, robots usually don't work like that all time time, sure, sometimes in movies they do, but I don't know about these ones" Aimee replied back.

"Well, you have a better idea? I don't exactly see you coming up with any ideas yourself" Zyanya replied as she struck another robot herself before she retreated back "Even if we don't stop these machines, we can at least stop anymore of them coming after us. We'll deal with that, then I suppose we should go and find Nixx as well....even though we're better off without her"

Nick22 · **Reply #4951 on:** June 02, 2012, 01:53:14 AM

(Aisha and Landon are already on the roof,. They were the first ones to climb up after Gustave Led the way)
We're right here Landion said going over and helping him haul up the slegehammer
Any particular place you want to start opening it up, or is any place fine.. " he asked.. ' We'd better be ready for anything that might be down there too..

Shelton got to his feet as the smoking turret sparked and fell over. "Nice, Kagetora!" he exclaimed.

Neville brandished his combat knife. "I just lost all forms of ranged weaponry, save a flash grenade," he reported.

Alfred revealed another pistol from the recesses of his pants. "I beat you by three clips, then."

Shelton glanced at Kegatora's swords, and at Roux who appeared to be unarmed. "Hawkeye, I guess you're the only real ranged fighter we have left."

"We might be able to re-purpose these into portable miniguns," noted Alfred, looking at the almost-fully intact sentry turrets.

Shelton glanced at them. "Hmmm, you're right. But we have to move quickly; Bailey is in serious danger. They have no idea just what they're walking into."

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

Bailey led his team into the room they were looking for. It was pitch black. The light from the doorway revealed that the room was massive, with shadowy equipment along the walls. But there wasn't enough light to make anything out in particular. "Someone shine a light."

A click. "It doesn't work," Crota reported, surprised.

A few other clicks indicated that nobody had working flashlights. This was probably a very bad sign.

"Let's just tell Shelton we couldn't--"

He was cut off when the door slid shut behind them, plunging them into complete blackness.

(OOC: Drake, I think Soundwave should be in this room. Whatever he does now is your call.)

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

Sharon gunned down another robot with her makeshift arm cannon. "There's a good chance that these robots don't have the run of the entire base. We should cut through laboratories; if we can find a route that takes us off their path, they might not have the security clearance to follow us."

"Assuming things like security clearance exist in a base devoid of people..." she heard one of her allies reply, but didn't have the time to turn and look.

MrDrake · **Reply #4953 on:** June 03, 2012, 04:20:05 AM

Darkness was all Bailey's team would see to begin with until two red eyes appeared and in turn, footsteps were heard. They sounded mechanical as well as dim lights flickered on before he stepped into view.

They would reccognize him from once before, back at the Schutzhund competition. Well, what the mechaniccal rhino was once before, that they had destroyed him before. But they would soon find out that it would not be the same Rhino as they had fought last time.

It was indeed, Soundwave this time, in his Rhino suit as he approached the group, stopping only short of them. His eyes scanned the small group standing in front of him before he spoke in his mechanicalized voice "It is impressive that you had managed to make it past my security that was in place around this base and found this room, however-"

Lights turned on behind him, revealing the just over, half completed Hydra. The Hydra in question only had three heads as it was seen just hanging there by multiple wires, suspended a few feet above the ground "All you have managed to do was run into death" he added in before he turned around and walked over to a nearby wall, which held a single weapon, as Soundwave pulled it off.

The weapon in question was big enough for himself to be able to hold as he turned around, aiming the rifle at the group "This particular weapon, so far, there has been only one created, and I am the one holding such a weapon. But might I enquire if any of you have any knowledge as to what nanites are? If the answer is no, then perhaps a demonstration shall be in order"

***

(Elsewhere)

Nixx continued on her way, but she did seem to stop for a moment as something caught her eye and in turn, she approached it. She had foudn the armoury and was already, admiring all the weapons that were still left behind before she turned and headed off.

Though moments later, she returned with as bag and started to grab one of each type of weapon, stuffing them into the bag without much care. Weapons included being a pistol, a machine gun, grenades, a couple of knives, ammo.....and even a rocket launcher.

But as she started to lug the bag off, she arrived in another room, leaving the bag on the ground....only to hear a rather loud crash and in turn, robots started to swarm the room as Nixx let off a sigh "So, it's going to be one of those days huh? Fine, just as long as you don't damage my shirt anymore, I like this shirt, it's nice alright? But look at what that big metal buddy did to it already" she spoke, pointing to the chest area, which was already missing parts of her shirt from almost being hit by arc cannon blast.

"And hey, it's not like I have the money to try and buy a new shirt alright? So ifit gets damaged even more, I'm not going to be a happy girl, alright?" Nixx added in, only for a robot to charge at her and punch her right in the face.

Nixx slid backwards a few feet as she was punched and in turn, just sighed again "I wasn't ready" she snarled a little "If I'm rambling on, you do not go and attack me in the middle of it alright? Because I wasn't ready, and you metal heads need to really learn some manners"

Yet again, another robot lunged in to grab onto her, only for Nixx to duck, allowing for the robot to miss grabbing onto her throat, yet, the robot still grabbed onto her by the scruff of her neck, by her shirt collar, just as she spoke up "What did I tell you about the shirt?" she growled as the robot pulled onto it, the shirt ripping some more as the robot flung her backwards.

Nixx landed onto the ground again "No manners....at all.....figures...." she spoke, rolling her eyes, glancing at her shirt that was torn up even more, most of her chest area already exposed as she huffed a bit "Brilliant....but ah well, what are ya gonna do about it?" she asked herself, deciding to actually get serious as she crouched down, opening up her bag of stolen weapons, pulling out a shotgun and holding it by the barrel.

Luckily said shotgun was not loaded as she aimed it at the robots....the wrong way around of course "You bucketheads tore up my shirt....perverts....so guess what? Time to get serious" and with that, she rushed ahead, using the shotgun as a baseball bat, swinging it rather violently as she struck one robot across the face and before long, a fight broke out, with Nixx just swinging away with the shotgun, still using it much like a baseball bat insteead of its intended purpose.

(ooc: In regards to the last thing you posted LB&T about who replied to Sharon, it wouldn't really be Aimee....and defiently not Zyanya....who isn't exactly technology savy. She does know a few things about technology, but not too much)

Serris · **Reply #4954 on:** June 03, 2012, 01:44:04 PM

"Anywhere's fine," Dr. Zanasiu said.

He then hefted the sledgehammer and swung it into an area that seemed to be a bit weathered. The concrete cracked but not enough to lift pieces out. He continued pounding away at the concrete until appoximately half the roof was destroyed.

Dr. Zanasiu took a deep breath and sat down as he stretched his aching arms and wiped sweat dripping from his forehead.

"All right," he panted. "We need to clear the concrete away, then we need to cut the rebar. Then we need to break more concrete, cut through a steel plate and then break the ceiling tiles."

"Well f---!" the Mongoose Cobalt soldier said. He picked up a piece of concrete and hurled it over the side where it splashed down into the harbor.

"What the f---'s taking so long!?" Gustave shouted from the ground.

"We're trying to break through the roof! And go find an angle grinder and some goggles or something!"

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

Alfred examined one of the unfired cartridges. He accidentally squeezed one of the bullets and it disintegrated into metal dust. "No go. The bullets fragment too easily; they'd be useless against metal." He then held up the ammunition feed ó or the mass of torn metal that used to be it. "And further more, this I ripped out the ammo feed so unless you got a torch. It's useless."

Neville sighed. "Kagetora, you got a gun I can borrow?" he asked.

Alfred turned to Roux. "Roux can you find an armory around here?"

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

Spc. Crota flicked his tongue out as he readied his specially built shotgun. "No. And why should we give a s---?"

"You mean the nanoscale robots that Pelvanida developed in hopes of augmenting healing or making the so-called.'nanolathe'?" Dr. Bailey replied. He put his container of pepper spray away; it was useless against a nonliving enemy.

MrDrake · **Reply #4955 on:** June 03, 2012, 04:32:02 PM

Soundwave aimed the rifle at Spc. Corta and fired it, a yellow blast emitting from the rifle as it struck Spc' Corta's shotgun and straight away, it started to be devoured "Nanites are able to eat through anything, metal such as your shotgun, devouring it completely. it is also able to eat through and devour flesh as well" he spoke up as he aimed the rifle once again.

"So to answer your very own question, no" Soundwave added in as he looked to Dr. Bailey as he did so, all the while behind him, the Hydra was still being worked on, by what seemed to be more robots that ignored the presence of the team, concentrating on the task at hand completely..

"Now, I do have one other question I do wish to pose to you, which is why you had decided to enter my base in the first place, when all you will find at the end of this quest is death in the end? Are you in such a hurry that you are willing to die in the process in a pointless endevour in wishing to stop myself? My new suit has been speifically designed to withstand high amounts of damage without it being faultered. It is what happens when one is able to succeed in creating the rare sustance Diamontanium and is able to fuse it with metal" Soundwave ccontinued to speak as he did not seem to move at all.

(ooc: If you want Dr. Zanasiu's team to crash into the same room that Nixx is in fight those robots, go ahead, doesn't bother me)

(OOC: Let's have James&co. meet up with Aimee/Sharon's group. I'll have Shelton meet up with Nixx.)

Shelton heard commotion up ahead.

So did Alfred. "Let me take point," he cautioned.

Leading the way, Alfred slowly pushed open the door to see a lithe girl wailing on a robot with a shotgun.

Shelton peeked in. "If we just close the door quietly..." he whispered.

"No way! I'm not letting her get killed!" Alfred marched into the room and downed a separate robot with two pistol shots to the face.

"Nice! An armory!" exclaimed Neville. He rolled into the room and dodged a blow to reach the rifles. Grabbing one, he hardly had time to block a robot's fist with it. The robot didn't give him time to load the weapon as it rounded on him again.

Shelton stayed in the doorway. He was no use in a combat situation. His eyes glanced around the room, but he didn't see any way he could help the situation.

(OOC: Drake, what do you think about the last remaining robot setting off a 'rust grenade' which destroys everything metal in the entire room?)

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

Sharon felt the robot at her feet start to shake. She glanced down and had milliseconds to jump out of the way before it exploded. "Some of these are set to self-destruct when they're defeated!" she exclaimed. "Looks like its the ones with cooling coils on their arms."

She glanced at the ceiling. "I have an idea that'll deal with all of these bots once and for all," she muttered. Using the remaining ammo in her arm cannon, she blasted apart a robot with cooling coils.

Rushing over to it, she excavated the explosive, which was starting to shake in her hand. Pulling duct tape out of her pocket, she wrapped it sticky-side out around the bomb and flung it at the ceiling. "Take cover!" she yelled, rolling inside the chassis of the gutted snack machine and assuming the earthquake position.

MrDrake · **Reply #4957 on:** June 03, 2012, 10:59:40 PM

Nixx looked over as a few more people ended up showing up as she swung the shotgun at another robot before she stepped backwards, getting another idea as she handed the busted shotgun over to Shelton "Here, hold this for as moment"

She turned and walked over to the bag full of weapons and crouched down, starting to go through the weapons she had taken before pulling out one weapon in particular and aimed it at the robots "Hey! You guys! Move it or you will die!" she called out to them as it was shown she was holding none other than a rocket launcher on her shoulder, still keeping it aimed at said robots before she fired it, just as one of the robots threw down a grenade beside Nixx's feet, only for it to go off.

But it wasn't like a normal grenade, but instead, a rust grenade that already, started destroying everything metal, including the rocket that was just fire as it disintergrated in midair, doing no damage at all as the rest of the weapons started to disintegrate.

Nixx just watched on at what had just happened as everything metal started to disintegrate....including the rest of the remaining robots. Though, her attention was on the bag of stolen weapons, finding nothing more than a pile of rust in it instead before she simply shrugged it off in the end.

Her gaze turned to the others present "So....who are you guys?" she asked, pointing at each of them herself "And do any of you know how to fix a shirt?" she added in, motioning to her shirt that was just badly ripped....to the point in one was questioning if she was wearing a shirt anymore and weren't just wearing rag "Cause, well, this used to be a shirt...." she groaned as she shook her head, deciding to just rip the rest of it as she dropped it onto the ground.

Though she just shrugged it off as she folded her arms, just standing there half naked now "But I guess that's what happens when you fight robots huh? By the way, name's Nixx....spelt with two x's" she added in, arms still folded underneath her exposed breasts.

(ooc: Does that answer your question? XD)

***

"Self destruct? Yup, should've known....." Aimee muttered as she took cover, as did Zyanya.

"Bringing down the roof....very clever...." Zyanya added in, actually somewhat impressed by that as she glanced up at the ceiling.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4958 on:** June 03, 2012, 11:35:22 PM

Alfred's eyes bulged slightly and his tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth. He wasn't used to seeing half-naked young women during raids on enemy headquarters, and he was doing a terrible time trying to keep his cool.

Shelton, on the other hand, appreciated her straightforwardness and chose to just ignore her lack of dress, since she was. "I'm Dr. Rudyard Shelton," he introduced himself. "The bison is Alfred, and the iguana is Neville."

Said iguana was still looking sadly at the pile of rust shavings that used to be his rifle.

"We need to reach here," Shelton showed her the printout. "The surveillance room just outside the interior of New Peenemunde. We've got friends in what will soon be a very dangerous standoff, but if we can gain control of the systems we can give them the edge. Also, if you'd like you could borrow my jacket," he offered at the end.

MrDrake · **Reply #4959 on:** June 03, 2012, 11:45:10 PM

Nixx looked over at what Shelton was showing her, just looking at it, having no real idea as how to read it as she shrugged it off for now "Are you talking about that AI thing that's suppose to be around here somewhere? After all, I was in the middle of a plan of action, finding some music before I was so rudely interupted by all those bucketheads"

She then just shook her head, seeming to just ignore Shelton's offer for a jacket....as if she was still fine with being half naked herself "Speaking of which" she placed an elbow on Shelton's shoulder "You got any idea on where I could find a stereo? So far, luck hasn't been that great in that department"
