Bugs itch? Scratch 'em.

[Tassatul]

Well I've decided that the bugs have grown to agressive and need to be put in their place. Therfore, I present to all of you at Cobra's Lair: another bug hunt. And now the moment you've all been waiting for.


tassatul awoke with a start. At first he didn't remember where he was. All he new was that the bugs almost got him. No, that was a dream. Or was it memory of those fateful days fighting the bugs along Cobra and Bughunter's side? He could not discern the two.

'Agrithno, you shall return.' tassatul said, looking at the tattered body in the stasis cell. Soon the new Dragoon II Exoskeleton for Agrithno would arrive, and then they could once again destroy bugs together. This new version was much more sophisticated than the original dragoons, and tassatul would have only the best for Agrithno. It has a smaller size and moves much faster, and it now consists of 6 legs and a small pilot cockpit. The legs are loaded with weapons from blades to guns and the cockpit also has a photon cannon.

tassatul hadn't seen anyone outside of his own small compliment of Fedaykin Zealots since the end of the battle. Bughunter seemed to have dissapeared, as well as Cobra. Perhaps they would respond to the transmission tassatul sent from his ship. Soon, tassatul was going to launch the attack upon the newly infested world. He just hoped they showed up in time to help.

(edit: oops, i forgot i'm an infested zealot since i changed my char around and wrote a history for tassatul. adjustments made.)

[BugHunter]

(ooc: ALRIGHT! A CONTINUATION OF THE RPG THREAD!!! GOOD JOB TASSATUL! dont worry, i'll make my entrance into the story at sometime, but not right now cus its late at night i got homework... but this is great! ;D ;D ;D)

[Tassatul]

(heheh i knew you'd like it Bughunter)

tassatul began training for the hunt. In the holodeck, several images appeared aroung him. Bugs, slime of the universe. As tassatul began dispatching the coontinuos flow of bug warriors, he reflected on his past.

The zerg infestation had made his body hideous, but no matter. Many new and useful powers had been gained by that horrible experience. For instance, tassatul could now burrow, and the spines and blades helped behead enemies, but he prefered his modified zealot armor with warp blades. The blades spewed acid on the face of an attacking bug, and tassatul whirled and caused the bug to have a bad day.

tassatul also had many other skills resulting from the mutation, but even years from his original ordeal, he didn't know them all. As he eliminated the last bug, the computer asked him if he'd like to have another go. 'Nay, I have had enough for one day.' replied tassatul

[Tassatul]

Tassatul was enjoying breakfast with his warriors when the ship rocked slightly back and forth.

'Someone's docking. Krath, come with me' saud tassatul

When they reached the docking bay, the doors had already opened. Several small, gnomish men filed out, pulling a large crate on suspensers.

'Are you tassatul? We have a package for you.' said one of the men.
'Yes wha-'
'Press your palm here' cut off the man, holding out a Identpad.

tassatul did so, and the men hurried back into their ship before either Krath or tassatul could stop them. They were left looking at the crate.

'Shall we open it?' asked Krath.
'I will, but you go get Agrithno' replied tassatul.
'Yes sir'

tassatul knew what it was. It had to be the new Dragoon shell for Agrithno. The crate opened easily after scanning tassatul's retinals. The dragoon looked excellent. The metal shined brightly, and all systems were operational. All that it needed now was a pilot.




(OOC: btw you're all free to jump in at anytime. there is no set storyline just create a person and role-play em towards the eventuall battle with the bugs. Guns, bombs, explosives, and other death-giving weapons are encouraged, ford. Maybe even cars. . .)

[BugHunter]

*A dial-up warp gate opens up and from it appears BugHunter, Light-Stepper, and Young-Tusk and only 3 other hunters inside their star ship The Hunting Star followed by a couple of bug flyers and pop-up gunners who are trying to take them down*

BugHunter: "Ah bloody hell! Take them out NOW!!"

*As Light-Stepper is piloting, the others are doing their best to destroy the bogies. In the time of 30 seconds they killed 5 of them. Only a few left to go*

*A missile from a pop-up gunner hits their hull. Their shields have been out of commission for a while*

Young-Tusk: "We're hit on the left side, guns 5 and 6 are out!"

BugHunter: "I got em!"

*after a couple of missed shots, he destroys the last of them. However their ship has taken severe damage also*

BugHunter: "phew... that was too close. Damn pop-ups... *acknowledging Tassatul's party through radio* Ah, Tassatul, so our coordinates for your position was correct. As you can see i have been a 'little' busy... After our failed bug hunt the bugs have been spreading everywhere... and i still haven't gotten my Queen trophy! Thats what we were trying to get just now, but we found ourselves overwhelmed. It seems that they have allied themselves with the annoying army of 'pop-ups', thus increasing their strength and irritability... I actually lost 5 of my hunters!.. and we barely escaped that last ambush. And now I'm here. Its good to be among allies again... but im out of commission and out of ammo as you can see. It will take me a while to repair my ship."

"By the way, i still haven't heard from the others. But how have u been?"

[Tassatul]

*tassatul acknowledges BugHunter and party's presence*

'It is great to see you, old friend. Pop-ups eh? I have fought them before, and it looks as if our next battle shall be a tough one.' says tassatul.

*A large Dragoon II walks up behind tassatul*

'You remember Agrithno, BugHunter? He has changed a little. We managed to recover his body from the pit from our last hunt. Somehow he survived' says tassatul

'Wow, thats some nice weaponry. Do you mind?' asks BugHunter

*BugHunter circles Agrithno, examening his exoskelton.

'Excellent, he will be useful for the battle to come.'

'Well, we've got a little bit of time before the main attack. I'm sure your warriors are hungry?' mentions tassatul.

'Of course.'

[BugHunter]

(ooc: um.. I guess u didn't read my 'whole' post... first off, my guy is still in his ship and secondly, i said my ship has been totalled and is out of commission for a while. So in other words my party cant go into any action soon... By the way, are we planet side or in space right now? Like, are u in a space station or in a ship or in a base on a planet? And didn't i say i didn't like to have other role players taking control of my characters before?)

BugHunter: "Yes i remember him well, a great warrior indeed. And we could use some R&R for now. I'll need to find some some tools to repair my ship afterwards... U wouldn't happen to have any extra scv suites with u? We only have one and it got a bit damaged in the fight. Anyway I'll get the remainder of my group together and then we can dock soon"

[Tassatul]

(ooc: my bad. i guess i missed the part about you talking to me through radio. somehow i got the idea that you were on my ship. anyways, we'll pretend the end of my thread didn't happen. I'm still in my ship, but am about to disembark for the planet)

'Right we'll send over the scv's right away. we've got a bunch extra.' say tassatul.

*After sending over the scv's in a small transport ship, tassatul prepares his men for arrival at the planet.*

'All right, suit up men!. Bring all the weapons you can carry! Let move move move!' shout Krath, heading for the space-to-surface transport.

*All 25 of tassatul's zealots, Agrithno, and tassatul board the small transport. Its cramped. They leave the ship's AI on 'violent' to protect it from any attackers*

[BugHunter]

(ooc: Woa, what planet are u going to?? The infested planet, already?!)

BugHunter on vid link (I think vid link sounds better than radio ;D): *ksssh* "Thanx for the food, supplies and scv suites, Tassatul. And uh... good luck with your attack... I can't exactly 'join' you right now... got repairs to do you know. Though i wonder why you are going to face an entire infested planet without back up, my friend... Remember, they managed to defeat my last expidition. We barely excaped you know. I mean, didn't u see us gettin attacked by that attack unit? Dont come back dead, Tassatul. I guess Me and my group will just sit back here and watch the sparks fly by since we're just floating... We can also keep an eye out in case any of the others arrive. And oh yea, watch out for those damn pop-ups, they can come out of nowhere and overwhelm you instantly and without warning! This is BugHunter out" *ksssh*

*The hunters watch as Tassatul and his party leaves to go planet side*

BugHunter: "Lets hope he's not over his head... "

Light-Stepper: "Sir, we got problems of our own to deal with right now. We lost a good deal of our armor and power is down 62%. I suggest we get a pint and then get to repairs as soon as we can"

BugHunter: "I concur... lets get lunch "

[Tassatul]

(ooc: Don't worry, I've got a plan This planet needs a name. How does Tiridon Prime sound?)

*Tassatul listens to BugHunter's transmission and laughs uproarusly*

'HOOHOOHOOHOOHEEHAHAHA'

*ksshhhh* 'I'm not such a fool as to do that, my friend. We're establishing a base of operations far from any infested clusters. This is just a sort of expedition force, to make our eventual attack all the more succsessful. Tassatul out' *ksshhh*

*The ship streaks across space moving toward to planet. Suddenly, a force of pop-ups ships appears from the void*

'Red alert! Arm attack stations!' shouts Krath.
'Stations armed. Commencing fire' replies a gunner.

TSSSEEEEWWWWWWW! TSSEEEEWWWW!
*The ship shudders*
'Damage report, Agrithno!' yells Tassatul over the noise.
'They hit our back wing. No significant damage.' Agrithno answers back.
BAM BAM BAM BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!!
'HAHA! Got another one!' a zealot exclames.

*Explosions are seen on all screens. More and more pop-ups continue to appear*

'Kull Wahad!! These pop-up are indeed a formidable force!' Krath tells Tassatul.
'Yes, and they haven't begun their full assault yet. '

*Another explosion rocks the ship*

'Damn! They hit our impulse engines! We won't be able to retreat if we stay here much longer, Tassatul!' yells Agrithno.
'Wait! I have an idea. Steer the ship into its course to land on the planet.' says Tassatul
'Sir, that wou-'
'Thats an order!'

*The pilot zealot does so. As the ship descends at the correct angle to penetrate the atmosphere, the pop-ups are not so lucky. Barreling straight down into the atmosphere, they burn up in a matter of seconds.*

'HaHA!! We got 'em! Whooooooo!' the zealots in the small ship celebrate.
'The party has just begun, my bretheren. The real battle begins on the planet.' says Tassatul

[BugHunter]

(ooc: Hey thats a good name )

*Elevator music in the background*

BugHunter: "Ah..lovely *Picks up a frothy one and takes a long sip* Ahhh, that hits the spot ;D"

*The hunters are taking a short break in their on-board pub*

"Hmm, I wonder how Tassatul is doing..."

[DOOFY]

As bughunter sips his brew he sees a new comer enter the pub. The comer has a scare on his face and an M-60 over his shoulder. The newcomer takes a table by the wall and stares at BugHunter.

[BugHunter]

(ooc: Dude, u suck at roleplaying. Next time read the whole story before you post!!! My characters wont like your actions)

*spew*

BugHunter: "How the f*** did u get on my ship!? Guys, get him!!!"

*The hunters get up and detain and disarm the intruder. BugHunter begins enterogating him while the others hold the stranger down*

BugHunter: "Explain yourself, who are you! No one gets on my ship without me knowing! How did you get here! Who do you work for?"

(ooc: oh you did it now ford, hehehe. You dont mess with a mercenary unit . And look, you ruined their beer break )

[BugHunter]

and if you didn't know - ooc stands for Out of Character

[DOOFY]

(told you i mess it up, not posting on this anymore.)
