HF RPG 2.0

[ZippyWharrgarbl]

IC: Timothy Gyro - Quark Qruiser

 

He turned at the laser fire and loud swearing. He hastily helped Scarlet out of the chair. "C'mon, Kat! That dingus just don't know when to quit!"

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Jade Riley:

 

"Mmm? Lessee......"

 

She brought up the coordinates.

 

"Not fast enough to be there before it takes off. If you guys can stall him, I can be there in about two minutes."

 

She slid into the pilots seat, and powered up the craft, opening a channel to control, Gorn, and Plume.

 

"Looks like you two are on your own. Get to the Astral, and I'll rendezvous later."

 

The gunship lifted off gracefully, and Jade put power to the throttle.

[Nato G]

IC: Evangeline Weaver - Here We Go Again.

 

Biting back a curse, she turned off her comms and took off after the fleeing villain. 

[fishers64]

GM IC TRAFEROUS

 

Traferous' leg was hit by Quark's blaster - that gave him enough warning to see the explosive arrow headed for his head. He ducked, grabbing the ship's door to open it...

[Klanadack]

IC: Arsenal- Apartment

 

It had been painful. It had been difficult. It had rendered his hand unusable for the time being, but the fact that the chip was finally out made the ordeal worthwhile. Arsenal didn't know if the chip could still be tracked if it wasn't inside of him, but he didn't see any reason why it couldn't be. He proceeded to crush the device in his hand and allowed the shards to fall to the floor. This was no time to take risks.

 

Arsenal was somewhat annoyed that the heroes had chosen to implant the chip in his wrist, directly underneath a cluster of wires. It was almost like they intended to make the chips impossible to remove without injuring yourself. Still, the damage was far from unfixable. Grumbling to himself, Arsenal began to repair himself, hopefully for the last time today.

 

IC: Jason Ferro- Right place at the right time

 

After hearing Katharine's shot, Ferro had swallowed his pride and exited the ship again, fearing that the villain had escaped. His assumption was correct, as he was met with the sight of the Titan running away from his former captors, most of whom were firing at him. Perhaps Ferro would get to do something cool after all. Concentrating, he created a pair of magnetic fields to yank Traferous back to a large piece of wreckage near where the heroes were standing.

[FallenCor]

OOC: Wouldn't the arrow fly past Traf's head and blow up most (or part) of the ship? Or was he running parallel with the ship and the arrow just hit rubble?

[fishers64]

GM NPC ZIB

 

"I'm pretty sure that impersonation is a crime, Striker."

 

GM NPC MERRICK FORTIS

 

"Look, this is my division, Zib. I'll handle it." He picked up the comm. "Rocka, this is Fortis. Meet me and Striker on his beach in a few minutes." 

 

GM NPC ROCKA

 

"I'm coming in for a landing now, sir." Indeed, Striker and Amayaika would see Rocka's dropship come in for a landing near where they were. 

 

GM NPC FORTIS

 

"Good. I'll be right there." He then turned to Zib. "Don't worry about me - I'll leave with Rocka. Get this ship out of here." 

 

GM NPC FURNO

 

Furno headed back to his dropship. 

 

GM NPC ZIB

 

"Unless I'm mistaken, Gorn, Plume, we're waiting on you."

[Nato G]

OOC: Where exactly is the cargo ship in relation to the lake?

 

Just trying to figure out if the water is within range of Eva's powers or not. 

[fishers64]

OOC: Wouldn't the arrow fly past Traf's head and blow up most (or part) of the ship? Or was he running parallel with the ship and the arrow just hit rubble?

OOC: Parallel. It can't have been that far - we were just at the engine room, and I figured that Quark pulled up her ship to get him. 

 

OOC: Where exactly is the cargo ship in relation to the lake?

 

Just trying to figure out if the water is within range of Eva's powers or not. 

OOC: Close. They are on the beach. 

 

GM IC TRAFEROUS

 

Jason's cool attack might have worked if Traferous weren't a collection of organically energized molecules in standard form. He wasn't a magnetizable robot. Except for his laser blaster on his arm, which caused that arm to swing wide as the Titan crashed through the door, smashing it into the doorframe. The ship began to move backward, though, and Traferous grabbed the control panel as he shifted the laser away. 

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kat:

 

Only to have Kat show up in front of the still grounded ship.

 

"You gutless coward!"

[Nato G]

OOC: Ooh, yes. Definitely in range.

 

IC: Evangeline Weaver - Freeze!

 

Skidding to a stop a few metres from the ship, she focused on the lake shore, sending a torrent of water streaming in through the open doorway. Once the ship was flooded enough, she'd freeze the water solid. 

 

This ship was not getting off the ground.

[FallenCor]

OOC: Cool beans, Fishers.

IC Wolfe - Tower Ruins:

Wolfe simply stood by and watched as his arrow blew up some rubble. He felt a twinge of relief at having missed his target, if only because he was loath to end a life unless there were truly no other choice.

It was all up to the younger Heroes now. Having essentially run two missions on one charge, Wolfe's exhaustion was catching up with him. Not to mention he was running out of ammo. He would have begun to make his way over to the Astral, but it wouldn't be fair to his comrades, suddenly ditching them mid-battle. For now, he watched from afar.

[Vicarath]

OOC: I must apologize profusely for forgetting to ask, but are there any cameras in the room and if so, do they have any blind spots?

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Jade Riley:

 

"One minute out, keep em grounded just a little longer!"

 

She put on the afterburners.

[fishers64]

OOC: I must apologize profusely for forgetting to ask, but are there any cameras in the room and if so, do they have any blind spots?

OOC: I don't think there would be cameras in Nex's quarters. There would be some in the hallway outside, though. 

 

GM IC TRAFEROUS

 

Water. He shifted out a blaster and blasted a hole in the floor. A drain.

 

He repaired the control panel. 

[Nato G]

IC: Evangeline Weaver - Stopping Traferous Cold.

 

She could sense some of her water trickling out through a small hole in the bottom of the ship. The door, being a much larger entry point, was letting water in much faster than it was getting out, but still... time was of the essence here...

 

Straining from the effort of controlling so much water at once, she directed a second stream of liquid fury into the ship through the hole Traferous had just created. 

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kat:

 

"You aren't getting away this time!"

 

I fired bolts at the engines, in hopes of damaging them enough to either halt or slow him down, assuming he could get off the ground.....

[Voltex]

IC: FOCUS

 

"...what is it?" the rogue Hero asked.

[fishers64]

GM IC TRAFEROUS (GETTING FLOODED - AGAIN)

 

He mashed the ignition as a second spurt of water knocked him free of the panel, the nasty stuff running into his face. 

 

Behind him, the engines flared to life as parts of them were getting melted. He blasted more holes in the floor in desperation. Maybe he should have taken the other ship that already had a hole in the floor. 

[Rylinth Anderfel]

IC: Gabriel Bliss - Sariusly?

Bliss sighed inwardly and waited a few seconds for the villain to end his little joke. There was no way he could win against all these Heroes ganged up on him. He didn't even have his friends this time around. When Traferous failed to come back to the ship, Bliss got up from his seat and sent a laser towards him.

The Hero's charge took a noticeable hit.

 

IC: Blink - Mechna Ghost Town

"It's a... a monster," 

Blink had never seen a periscope before.

 

IC: Marrow - Still Hungry

Marrow followed the nearby muffled scent of Quaza towards something buried in the rubble...

 

OOC: That would be Jet, who will hear Marrow coming from quite a ways away. It's not being very quiet right now.

[Nato G]

IC: Evangeline Weaver - Finishing The Fight.

 

Deciding to cut her losses, she focused her powers, turning the liquid water to solid ice. In the enclosed confines of the ship, she wasn't entirely certain what effect the expanding ice would have, only that it'd likely be unpleasant for the occupant. 

 

In the end, it didn't really matter how much damage her ice had caused. Kat, and the villain himself, had ensured that the ship was useless as an escape vessel. With a half-dozen holes straight through its hull and its engines half-melted, the ship likely wouldn't even make it off the ground, let alone survive in space. 

[ZippyWharrgarbl]

IC: Wilbur Flood - Dropship

 

Flood climbed aboard, blissfully unaware of the havoc being wrought. "Goodness me. It's been a day, hasn't it? At least we seem to have the villain under control."

 

~

 

OOC: If it helps, Quark parked her ship back near the Astral. Roughly where she parked it the first time. She could see smoke from the engine fire and hasn't moved the ship since, since she ran to investigate.

 

Would it be all right to assume Quark's ship has a charging unit on it, or is that something I need to specify? It's essentially an extensively modified dropship.

 

IC: Dorothy Quark - Quark Qruiser

 

She bolted for her ship's controls. "Wolfe, park yourself in here and man the weapons."

 

~

 

IC: Timothy Gyro - With Scarlet

 

He fired his blaster at the ship's engines alongside Scarlet. "Take that, ya numpty!"

 

~

 

IC: Amayika Orukam - With Striker

 

He watched the ship come in. "Well. I suppose they've found us. Hopefully your stab-happy friend isn't hiding within."

[Timageness]

IC: Epix - The Astral (Medical Bay)

 

"Going somewhere?"

Despite his silence, Epix clearly wasn't foolish enough to leave Kaiba unguarded, nor armed. Had the Prototype Hero looked to the left of The Recall during their previous conversation, he would have noticed his gear all laid out on the counter beside him.

 

OOC: Didn't think it would've been realistic for Epix not to have previously disarmed him, but will edit if necessary. At least we don't have to worry about the cuffs, though; most of the bots he brings back to HF are either dead or unconcious anyway, so there wouldn't really be a point for him to have them in the first place.

[Vicarath]

IC: Shade - Nex's Room

 

No one. Shade slipped around the door post, mattresses in hand, and stacked them against the wall. After a moment of quick thought, he grabbed the mattresses and arranged them on the floor to his liking. This done, he closed and locked Nex's door, laid down on the mattresses, and allowed himself to slip into the pleasurable bliss that comes with a quick nap on hospital-grade cushions...

[Onaku]

IC: Andrea Plume & Var Vicious
^{Location: En route to Astral}

"On our way." Andrea reported in, as she and Var went along with Gorn to the Astral.

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kaiba Blader:

 

".....Yes."

 

He stepped over to the table, looking over his blades for any damage they might have sustained.

 

IC Jade Riley:

 

"30 seconds out. I have visual."

[Khromatose]

IC: Gadget Thompson/I'm still here?

Well then.

I fired my laser pistol at the thrusters of the ship that the convict was trying to escape on.

[Timageness]

IC: Epix - The Astral (Medical Bay)

 

The Recall slowly moved to intercept Kaiba's path, making it clear that attempting to regain his equipment probably wasn't the best idea.

"That was a rhetorical question."

[Voltex]

IC: FOCUS

 

"Don't be absurd," Focus snapped, crouching down to get a closer look. "Go get Uerub. This might be the clue that we need... or bad news."

 

His right hand drifted to the hilt attached to his hilt, gripping it tightly.

[FallenCor]

IC Wolfe - Quark Quruiser:

Another sigh. "Coming," he responded as he turned to climb aboard Quark's ship. Once inside, he hopped into the appropriate seat and strapped himself in, then began prepping the weapon systems.

IC Jet - Tower Basement:

The rookie wouldn't hear Marrow; at least not yet. He was only just coming to, and his senses weren't returning simultaneously. There was a light above him -- the distant opening in the ceiling of the basement -- and little else to see from where he lay. The rookie tried to turn his head, only for the ensuing pain to make him immediately regret doing so. At least he could feel his left arm, but its movements were slow and clumsy, as though it had been asleep. After a few moments Jet realized he couldn't feel his lower half or his right arm. He bit back a cry of pain and lifted his head, and found a massive piece of wall or ceiling crushing all but his top half. He let his head fall back and began to panic.

"HELP!" he shouted as loudly as his battered vocalizer would let him. "HELP!"

[Rylinth Anderfel]

IC: Blink - Mechna Ghost Town

With a small squeak, Blink scampered away to look for Uerub. When she located the Bounty Hunter, she pointed back in the direction she'd come and said in a high-pitched whisper, "I think we found something, Uerub,"

She was shivering slightly and so jittery it almost looked as if she was jumping up and down.

 

IC: Marrow - On The Hunt

Marrow followed its nose and a faint shouting voice to a hole in the ground and looked down through the rocks to see a Hero trapped on a collapsed lower level. It began eagerly moving rubble away to reach him.

[Onaku]

IC: R4-V0

^{Location: Droid Rescue}

The small droid had been searching the basement for a vessel it could hijack, when its auditory sensors picked up a cry of distress. Interested in finding out what was emitting said noise, it went to investigate, coming across a robot half crushed under a collapsed wall or ceiling. It beeped inquiringly, although it was likely that Jet wouldn't understand a word of what it was saying.

 

IC: Uerub Kalslann

^{Location: Mechna - Ghost Town}

Uerub descended off the roof and down to the ground next to Blink. "Lead the way." She said, somewhat excited if this was in fact what they were looking for.

[fishers64]

GM IC TRAFEROUS

 

Traferous shut the ship's door and locked it, and absorbed the ice into his form, using it to restore the floor. The engines were being overheated and melted, setting off alarms.

[FallenCor]

IC Jet - Tower Basement:

Jet heard something moving above him and saw what looked like some kind of horrid creature heading right for him. "Ohmanohmanohmanohmanohman hELP!" he called, but heard some beeping nearby and glanced over (painfully) to see some sort of droid. "Oh, thank goodness," he breathed. "Please! Go get help! O-or something! Quick!"

[The UltimoScorp]

Ic Kat:

 

"How about we try something different....."

 

Concentrating my Plasma into a focused beam, I sliced vertically across one of the engines, with the intent of cutting it in half.

[Nato G]

IC: Evangeline Weaver - Time for a New Plan.

 

And suddenly, all at once, her ice simply vanished. Letting out a frustrated hiss, she clambered up onto the front of the ship and started hammering on the front windscreen with her mace. "Knock, knock!"

 

The moment the first cracks began to appear in the glass, she sent a trickle of water flowing into them, before freezing it solid. If all went according to plan, the expanding ice would shatter the glass completely. And then she'd make this freak regret destroying her home. 

[fishers64]

GM NPC SURGE

"HELP!"

 

"I'll be right back."

 

GM NPC STORMER

 

Stormer sighed. "Come on, we can't be sitting here for the next age. We need to get out of here."

 

GM NPC BULK

"I'm taking the levitation unit. Let's make this fast."

[Khromatose]

IC: Azure Stryker/He's still here too.

He charged at the other engine, intent on cutting it apart.

 

IC: Gadget Thompson/Throwing a wrench into the works

He got on his hoverboard and got above the ship and proceeded to fire rounds through the window at Traferous.

[Klanadack]

IC: Jason Ferro- Ruins

 

With his magnetic attacks on the villain seemingly ineffective, Ferro attempted to hold the ship itself to the ground, while simultaneously firing at the vessel with both pistols. With luck, he would hit something important.

 

 

IC: Wilhelm Gorn- Ruins

 

As the trio approached the Astral, Gorn saw that the villain had escaped yet again. There was no way he would be able to chase the killer down at this point, so he continued towards the ship. As he entered, Gorn noticed a hero with a familiar color scheme apparently trying to use magnetism to remedy the situation. He was appalled. The factory had seriously made another magnetic hero, after what had happened last time?! Despite that, this one didn't seem to be insane, so Gorn decided to simply forget he ever saw them and continue with his task.

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Kaiba Blader:

 

"Stand aside, your part in this is over. Mine..... is only beginning..."
