Bugs itch? Scratch 'em.

[BugHunter]

(ooc: ahem, a pop-up are those annoying windows that keep 'popping up' on your screen when your browsing the internet. I'm sure you've had your experiences with them. And to keep with that tradition, we've made the pop-up fighter ships in our rpg annoying with the ability to come out of nowhere (probably with cloaking devices) and overwhelm you instantly and without warning. I kinda explained this on the first page of this thread.)

[Cobra5]

( I envision a popup warrior as a human warrior, completly clad in high-tech armor. They heve technology, so they've got jets and guns and stuff.

I envision the 'bugs' as the aliens from the movie, 'aliens', And the larger ones as beatles, prayming mantises, and other things. Am I close to what you guys are seeing?)

[BugHunter]

[ooc: Your vision of the bugs is right on with mine, but i thought of the big ones like the ones in Starship Troopers. And I didn't exactly vision the popups in a person form. I only got as far as seeing them as just simple fighter class ships that are kinda weak, but always fly in large groups (and have cloaking devices, hehe )]

(ooc: ooh, i know, u remember those green nasty aliens the 'Skedar' from Perfect Dark? We can have the popups look like those!)

[DOOFY]

(i'm not involved with this anymore but i think bughunter means th bugs like the one i posted in a picture early on in this thread. Unlike will i know what your talking about bughunter.)

[BugHunter]

(ooc: when i said large bugs from starship troopers, i was thinking about those tankers that spit fire or those giant ones that shot plasma funk from their arses)

(ooc: Are we done explaining this?)

*meanwhile on the Hunting Star*

BugHunter: "Alright, we're almost done here, all we got to do now is refit some ammo, repair that wing and make sure the power is online... correctly this time! I'm looking at you Young-Tusk"

Young-Tusk: "Yea, Yea, always blame me whenever something goes wrong...."

[Tassatul]

*The expedidtion force set out in search of Ajaz. After a bit they hear Ajaz's transmission*

'Roger that Captain Ajaz, meet us here' says Krath, giving the coordinates.
'Sir, a large bug force is coming over that rise.' interrups one soldier.
'Prepare for engagment! Ajaz, step on it, were gonna need the help!'

*The swarms of bugs thunder over the hill and charge toward the group of about 30 zealots. The zealots wait with discipline untill the bugs are in range, then unleash their flechette rifles and tear the front line to threads*

'Switch to warp blades and engage!' orders Tassatul, running toward the bugs.

*Tassatul whirls around, decapitating bugs left and right, spewing acid from his blades.*

'RRAAAAHHHHHH!! HA! RUH!'
ZIIIING ZAAANG!
*The bugs persist, but the zealot force hold strong. The backup forces arrives with submachine guns and begins tearing down the outsides of the bug swarm*

RAT TAT TAT TAT TAT!!! Cha-ching BOOOOM!

*Suddenly, a large force of popups appears above the troops*

[glow=red,2,300]'Any time now Ajaz!!' [/glow] yells Agrithno into the radio

[Cobra5]

*Cobra is standing on a small hill, the sun setting large behind his back. He looks down at the 30-or-so strong team of zealots, unsure of their exact orders or alegience. Hopefully, they work for tassatul, and can help him find a way back to base.*

Maybe...maybe I should just follow them for a while...they might be renegade, or something...

*The first wave of bugs crest the cliff in the distance. The zealots pause, and wait for them to come in to range*

Well, they're fighting the bugs, and the enemy of my enemy...

*Cobra draws his sword, and runs toward the battle. By the time he gets close enough to see the details, a backup force has arived, tearing the bugs with sub-machineguns, only to be rewarded with a wave of popup fighters*

*Without acknolodging his presence to any of the troops cobra jumps right on in to the battle, his 200+ pound sword swinging as if it were weightless, help up by an invisible bond shared between a person and his weapon...*
*Slices a two bugs in half, a clean cut through the midsection. The two bugs are replaced by three*
"Swing...Parry...swing...parry-no, dodge...spin...swing!"
He says to himself, not reciting a pattern of moves, but repeating to himself what he just did, so he can remain focused on lifting the sword, not the insanity of battle. It requires concentration to force the sword up, after all...

[BugHunter]

*Back at the Hunting Star...again*

BugHunter: (speaking through scv intercoms that are built into the suits) *kssh* "Man, making repairs is hard work, phew"

Young-Tusk: *kssh* "I can't breath in this suit, sir. How do i get out of this chicken shit outfit?" *kssh*

BugHunter: *kssh* "You secure that shit Tusk. Look we're almost done out here. All we got to do is... *kssh*

*BugHunter's message is interupted by Lightstepper who's inside the ship*

Light-Stepper: *ksssh* Sir! I got enemies on sensors! Looks like small group of bugs. They're a bit far from our position though. They'll be on us in 10 minutes! *ksssh*

BugHunter: *kssh* "Damnit, How could they have found us again? Guys, get inside, now! Young-Tusk, can you finish the final repairs?" *kssh*

Young-Tusk: *kssh* "Yea yea, i can handle it. Just leave it to me" *kssh*

*As Young-Tusk continues his repairs, the others get inside their ship to prepare for battle*

[Cobra5]

*Cobra doesn't have to fight with style, or art, or anything fancy this time- He just swings his big sword back and forth, hacking down the bugs as they come. He has no weapons suited for taking down popup fighters, though*

*Meanwhile, at Popup command, un-beknownst to our heroes*
Commander Buymenow and his two Captians, Clickthislink and Justanotheradd, ponder their stragedy for the battle.
"My vote is for an all out attack, early on. Rush them!" Says Captain Clickthislink, excited. He usually prefered the more simple route.
"No. We should wait untill the Bugs do their work. We'll clean up when they're dead..." suggests Captain Justanotheradd, prefering more thought out plans.
"But they'll attack! We can't let them build up strength!"

"Attacking early will depleat us! It will be an all-or-nothing strike!" Says a red-faced Justanotheradd.
"Now, now. Fights in the ranks are the last thing we need" Says Commander Buymenow, thinking more of the problem at hand, then the childish bikering. "For now, we wait. Keep at them, but with small forces. Kepp the majority back...for now..." *The ominus music spike at his "For now" Comment, as the camera zooms on his battle hardened face*

[BugHunter]

(hahaha, Will, giving pop-up commanders names)

*once again, back at the Hunting Star*

Bughunter: "Ok, we're going to red alert people, take your places at the guns!"

Young-Tusk (who is still outside in an scv suit): *kssh* "Uh..Bughunter, i still have to get the guns power..." *kssh*

Bughunter: "What?! Those bugs are gonna be on us in one minute!!! And your telling me our gun batterys are offline!!!?"

Young-Tusk: *kssh* "And the shields still need to be turned on too" *kssh*

BugHunter: "Just hurry up you idiot!! I can see them in the distance already!!!"

Young-Tusk: *kssh* "Alright alright! You cant rush this kind of thing!" *kssh*

(to himself) "ok... i just gotta rewire the alpha wires to the gamma wires... and the beta wires to-"

*As Young-Tusk talks to himself, the bugs are almost within range of attacking*

BugHunter: (a bit worried) "HURRY!!!"

Young-Tusk: *kssh* ok! I'm almost done! *kssh*

BugHunter: "You should be done NOW!"

*At that, the bugs have already launched their acid spines towards the ship!*

"AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh"

*The small band of hunters watch in horror as they come closer and closer to their ship. But then in the last millisecond, as if like a miracle, the shields turn on! And successfully stop the spines! The bugs stop in their flight right in front of the shield's glow*

Young-Tusk: (acting as if there wasn't a problem) *kssh* "There! See, that wasn't so hard" ;D *kssh*

BugHunter: "Tusk! Im gonna kill you!!! But first - FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!!!"

*All the guns and missile packs on the starship begin to open fire on the group of bugs that are now unable to attack back. The shield allows friendly bullets to pass through and the bugs get torn apart*

Young-Tusk: *kssh* "Hey! Watch where you're shooting! Somebody open the bay doors so i can get in!" *kssh*


(ooc: You guys should follow example. On my posts its easy to tell whats being said by a character and whats narration. And its easy to tell who's talking and who's talking to who. Sometimes i get confused on your posts and then have to like read them 5 times to figure them out... just wanted to let you know)

[Cobra5]

(Afermative, I'll use a two color scheme as well. Can't RP now though, just thought I'd let ya know)

[BugHunter]

*suddenly a large group of pop-up fighter ships appear out of cloaking*

BugHunter: "What the?!"

*The pup-ups begin firing upon the Hunting Star. But unlike the bugs, they're weapons can do major damage to their shields and hull*

*Boom* *boom* *boom*

BugHunter: "Aack... (stumbles) Damnit, the bugs must have been a diversion to hide the pop-ups!!!"

Young-Tusk(who is still outside): *kssh* "LET ME IN! LET ME IN!!! *kssh*

*The bay doors finally open and Young-Tusk gets back inside*

BugHunter: "Light-Stepper! Now that the ship is repaired, Get us moving! The rest of you, continue firing! Lets get the hell out of here!!!"

*Bullets, lasers and missiles fly as pop-up ships gets destroyed left and right, but more and more are still left. The hunters continue their brave attempts and fight on*

[Tassatul]

*Back on the planet*

TSEWW!!! TSEWW!! TSSEWW!!

*Screams of rage and anger fill the air. Bugs are dispatched left and right, and missles from the popups explode along the field*

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

[glow=red,2,300]'Cmon, you call yourselves fighters?[/glow] Agrithno yells to the bugs.[glow=red,2,300]I could fight your kind all day without breaking a sweat![/glow]

'Sir, thats only because you no longer have pores to sweat from. . . Sir' says one warrior with a completely straight face.

[glow=red,2,300]'It was a rehtorical statement, young one'[/glow] Agrithno replies with a laugh.

*An ominous shape appears in the air at a distance*

'What the hell is that?' questions another warrior.

*ksshhhhhh*Agrithno, this is Templar C'tal. I have just recieved intelligence of a new popup ship. It is called the 'Lagger' and apparently slows all its enemies to nearly a halt when in range. Use all costs necesarry to eliminate this ship before it reaches your troops. May Adun be with you.*ksshhhhhhh*

[glow=red,2,300]'Well, this looks like the ship. All forces! Attack that ship!!![/glow]


(ooc: i was playen some starcraft onlione and had a bad lag-out the other day. i decided to implement it into the story)

[BugHunter]

(ooc: hehehe, good idea. First it laggs you up and then makes you dissappear without notice lol. I just got an idea, we shoulda called the planet "Server" that way we could say stuff like "The Server is really buggy" lol. But its too late now..oh well)

*Meanwhile, our hunters are having a real tough time. Even flying through space at extreme speeds isn't enough to stop the several numbers of pop-up ships that are shooting at them*

BugHunter: "Well at least the shields are holding up..for now. We wont be able to do this forever..."

*Suddenly he gets an idea*

BugHunter: "Light-Stepper, you remember how Tassatul got away from the pop-ups?"

Light-Stepper: "Yea, he entered the planet. The pop-ups got destroyed by the atmosphere while they escaped through"

BugHunter: "Lets do the same!"

Light-Stepper: "Roger that!"

[Cobra5]

*Cobra fights alongside tassatul's warriors, cutting down bugs as they come. Unfortanatly, he has no weapons capable of fighting a ship, so he just fights the bugs as most of the other warriors go for the Lagger*
