As the Oil Rig began to sink, a figure washed out of it on the waves...

Hawkeye walked over to Landon, crouching down and looking at Aimee.
"Is there...anything I can do to help her?"
He asked monotonously...

Nick22 · **Reply #5242 on:** April 04, 2013, 09:29:07 PM

you can assist me in giving me surgical utensils ' landon said ' there has been a lot of swelling, not uncommon with a tramatic injury..

The water was up to Dr. Kerzach'a chest now. He handed Shelton his opened switchblade. "What are you doing?"

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

Gustave sat down on the floor. "Will Aimee be okay?" he asked as he watched Dr. Landon and Hawkeye work.

Alfred had raided the ship's supply closet and came out with a bunch of freeze dried seafood and meatless meals. "Well, I guess we should eat up. Who knows how long we'll be here."

the mechinical arm seems to be back in the joint, i'm fixing the living tissue over it. ideally. we'll remove the artifical libsa asnd replace them with living tissue again, but ultimately it will be up to her" landon said as he continued to work..

Shelton jammed the switchblade into the casing of his radio-flashlight. "This thing is still volatile from the new fuel I had to convert to the make the thought-chip array node function. If I just jam the battery wire into the array...there!"

Quickly he threw the knife-radio-flashlight high into the air where it exploded brilliantly in a chemical firework.

"Guess that's what we've always been best at, right Yuri?" grinned Shelton, as he started treading water; the platform had completely sunk and the last of the oil rig was receding from sight below them. "Making things explode...I sure hope someone on the battleship actually saw that..."

Nick22 · **Reply #5246 on:** April 11, 2013, 12:01:31 AM

aisha headed out on ddeeck to get some fresh air. she saw the flare ' and called in ' hey guys we should turn back! shelton is stikll out there.. and maybe others...'

Serris · **Reply #5247 on:** April 13, 2013, 12:23:10 AM

Dr. Zanasiu saw the flare as well. He quickly stopped the ship as he saw the burst of light. His jaw dropped as he peered through the binoculars.

"Everyone! It's Shelton and Kerzach! They're alive!"

Sgt. Masters immediately seized the intercom.took command. "Everyone! Get the boats ready!"

Almost immediately, the sound of something heavy sprinting across the deck was heard.

Neville hurled himself against the wall to avoid getting flattened by Alfred. He had never gotten used to the speed Alfred could move at when he was really pushed.

He ripped the tarp off the small boat hanging from the gantry and tossed it on the deck as he got everything ready for launch.

Gustave smiled as he leaned against a bulkhead. "That crazy motherf---er really did it."

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

Dr. Kerzach treaded water as he tried to stay afloat. His sodden feathers not really helping much. "Well, we did it."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #5248 on:** April 13, 2013, 04:25:10 AM

Shelton smiled. "I'm glad you handled yourself without me. I'm sorry for abandoning you in Texas...I had some mixed up priorities and made some split-second decisions."

He tried to help Kerzach stop sinking, but there wasn't much he could do either. At least they were both still floating for a time, and the water wasn't bone-chilling. "You're gonna be amazed by how much bigger our group got. You know most of them, but there are a whole bunch of new faces. Just stay away from the crocodile, he's got a rubbish sense of humor. And the fox with robot arms has a bit of a temper, and things tend to explode around her..."

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

Cobalt Squad grabbed their own boat and were among the first into the waves.

"Hold it, guys..." Mongoose soldier asked the others. "What's that?"

He pointed to another figure floating on the waves. Unlike most of the others, it was in one piece.

Masters cocked his head. "Let's swing around and check it out. There are more than enough boats heading for Shelton at the moment."

They deviated from the course to approach the figure.

(OOC: I'm referring to whomever was in Starfall's post. Shouldn't it be multiple people, if its your surviving characters Starfall?)

As Dr. Landon fixed Aimee, Kagetora, Cale, and Roux sat and thought on things. Their reverie was to be short-lived, however, as the water near the vessel grew troubled, and four black figured erupted out of it. The first was the Dragonstorm-rebuilt Murakami. The other three were similar Dragonstorm projects. One, a hulking bear. Another, a lion male with a malevolent grin. And the last, a female bat with a cold smirk on her features. The four stood or hovered above the water, laughing madly.
"Going somewhere?"
Murakami asked coldly...

In the water where he had landed from the explosion of the rig and his own suicidal attack, Neku stirred a little, glancing around...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #5250 on:** April 16, 2013, 03:30:12 AM

"Oh damn!" cursed Mongoose soldier loudly, glancing back at the ship.

Masters and Crota were pulling Neku into the boat. "Come here, lay still," Masters comforted Neku. "McLean give him your coat."

Crota looked back at the ship; they had been one of two boats to leave the battleship before the sudden unexpected arrival. "Let's go kick their floating asses into next week!"

Masters shook his head. "The onboard defense systems will make short work of them. We need to get Shelton out of the water before he looks like this fellow."

They passed Neku over to Alfred's boat for room and continued on their route.

Serris · **Reply #5251 on:** April 16, 2013, 03:32:27 AM

Gustave sighed as he saw the three figures. He clenched his massive hands into fists. "Not this s--- again," he growled.

Dr. Zanasiu shook his head. "Neville, Aisha, see if you can get the gun turrets working!" He then started the ship and headed away from the trio. He grabbed hia shotgun from the chair it rested on and slung it across his back.

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

Alfred stopped next to Neku. With one massive hand, he hauled the young psi-experiment aboard.

"Neku, you okay?" he asked. He then looked around his lifeboat and spotted a first aid kit. He opened it and sighed as he realized that he didn't quite know what to so with it.

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

Dr. Kerzach continued treading water. "Well, I forgive you. After all, if I hadn't gotten so close to Dr. Zenarchis, he'd be still out there wreaking havoc."

He then noticed a small boat heading towards him. He immediately notoced that it had Cobalt Squad in it. "Hey! Over here!" he yelled, frantically waving an arm.

(OOC - I believe Dr. Landon's still got that vial of Black Mamba venom. That'll be an interesting weapon to use in thia final boss battle.)

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #5252 on:** April 16, 2013, 03:33:42 AM

Neku smirke a little.
"Heh...hey guys."
He chuckled...

Cale looked at Roux and Kagetora, nodding.
"What do you say, guys? Time to finish this?"
He smirked, glass armor forming around himself as he leapt off the ship. Kagetora nodded, flipping into the air and landing behind Murakami, drawing his swords as he stood on the water. Roux flickered out of view, then reappeared above the bat, dropping in and kicking her out of the sky briefly...

Nick22 · **Reply #5253 on:** April 16, 2013, 03:36:36 AM

Aisha ran towards the turrets" We need to finish this mess once and for all! Dragonstorm is going down!" she said, prepping the turretrs for firing.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #5254 on:** April 16, 2013, 03:43:04 AM

Cobalt Squad pulled up alongside the pair. "Hey! I recognize you from Pelvanida!" exclaimed Mongoose soldier, grabbing Kerzach by the arm.

Masters and Crota had to work together to haul Shelton; he still had the potted plant held in his non-dominant hand.

"Oh good, you guys made it too!" exclaimed Shelton, when he saw Crota.

"Never thought I'd be glad to see you," Crota grunted as he pulled Shelton over the side, which Shelton chose to take as a compliment.

"Let's get back to the boat before I freeze," Shelton took his waterlogged blazer off.

"There's a...bit of a situation back there," said Mongoose nervously. "I think we're gonna stay put for awhile."

Serris · **Reply #5255 on:** April 18, 2013, 11:33:22 AM

Neville seated himself in the gunner's chair. He then took aim at the three and unleashed a stream of of 30 mm high explosive shells.

Luckily for him, he was deep inside the ship so they couldn't hurt him.

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

Dr. Kerzach looked at the battle. "Just when I thought we were done with this," he said with a sigh.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #5256 on:** April 18, 2013, 07:47:49 PM

As soon as the gun began firing, the Dragonstorm bear darted in, slashing the barrels off of the ship guns, disabling them as he flew towards the ship again...

Nick22 · **Reply #5257 on:** April 18, 2013, 10:25:41 PM

isha got a couple shots in, before the bear sliced her gun to pieces.. ' great.. just (censored) great! ' She said getting out of the seat, anfd pulled out her revolver..
- Landon continued to operate, trying to keep his hands steay as he blocked out of the noises fromoutside..

Serris · **Reply #5258 on:** April 20, 2013, 12:42:26 AM

Gustave stomped outside and smiled. "All right, you wankers! Anyone brave enough to face me?"

He smashed a fist into his hand with a sound like a hammer striking an anvil.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #5259 on:** April 20, 2013, 01:04:22 AM

Nixx narrowed her eyes. "This might be my last chance to be lethally violent for some time," she muttered, grasping at her syringe bag like a junkie curing an addiction.

Zyanya grabbed her by the arm, stopping her. "Don't do it..."
she warned. "We don't know what that syringe will do to your mind."

"I fought it off once before!" protested Nixx. She glanced at Aisha. "What should I do? Can I use another syringe and help in the fight?"

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

Sharon awoke to the sound of gunfire and the ship shaking. She staggered out of her bed, reflecting on the good job Landon had done with her arm.

She only had a few moments before a large crack formed in the ceiling, with a hissing and a bubbling noise that experience taught her meant a water valve had ruptured. Staggering forward, she pushed Aimee off her cot right before a jet of boiling water coated both of their cots.

Aimee groaned as she regained consciousness. "Ow...where am I?" she asked.

"You're safe on the battleship, except we're being attacked," Sharon informed her, looking nervously at the water; a puddle of boiling water was inching towards them and they had nowhere to run.

"What else is new?" sighed Aimee, before noticing the water. "How are we gonna...?"

"Get on my back," Sharon groaned, her face turning white when Aimee did so. Her arm was not ready to carry people...

Wincing with every step, she stumbled through the boiling water and collapsed on Aimee's bed. Aimee disconnected the protective railing with the strength and used it like an oar to push the cart out of the infirmary.

"Let's find a way to get upstairs and help out the fight," Aimee said resolutely.

"Shouldn't we find you some clothes first...?" Sharon asked.
