Bugs itch? Scratch 'em.

[Tassatul]

(ooc: hehe got the lightning gun from SC:G. Wonder what it should sound like?)

'Man, i loooove this gun' Tassatul, firing the lightning gun.

*ZAP!* *ZING!* *ZAP!*

*Bugs explode upon impact with the lightning discharge*

'Ha, this is really powerful. DIE!' Tassatul says to an approching bug. It growls, then explodes.

*Off in the distance, Tassatul sees a shimmery disterbance*

'Wonder what that is?'

[BugHunter]

(ooc: oh yea, im cloaked. Just edit your post to say you saw a shimmery figure chopping bugs in half, hehe)

BugHunter: "Hyah!" *slice* "yargh!" *hack* "Eat This!!" *aims his scatter gun towards a bug and then - *pshoom* *Splat*

*Uncloakes and then greets his ally while in the heat of battle*

BugHunter: "En taro adun my friend! *slice* I see you've been hogging all the fun. *Blam BLam Blam* My men have picked up Cobra and are returning him to the location of my ship. By the way, did ya miss me?*slice*

(ooc: the last your character heard from me was i think from that transmission i gave while my men were being shot down)

[Tassatul]

(ooc: righto. by the way, we really need more people in this forum, specifically this thread. its kinda slow going with only 3 people. We need more storylines and viewpoints)

*SLASH!*

'Ho, BugHunter! It has been long since' *SLICE* 'we've fought together in battle.'

*Tassatul switches back from his lightning gun to his warp blades to better dispatch the up-close enemies*

*SLICE!* *SLASH!* 'rrrgggg. . .'

'What happened to your ship anyways? That last' *HACK!* 'transmission of yours sounded pretty grim. And how about the weakling Cobra? He run back to the base, did he?' says Tassatul, while sliceing a small pack of bugs to pieces.

'I'm glad the lagger seems to be scuttled, tho. Technologies like that scare me. . .'

[BugHunter]

(ooc: I think its going at a good pace for now. If there is too many people on an RPG it begins to get screwed up... like last time)

*slash* *slash* *blam* *blam* Blam*

BugHunter: "Actually" *hack* "Cobra made the final blow to the Lagger!" *Slash* "But then his ship crashed while getting out of it" *Blam* *blam* "My men just picked him up and are bringing him to my ship and yea, we were pretty bloodied up too" *slice*

"That reminds me! *slash* My men at my ship are being attacked by bugs too! *blam* We should go to their position, do you have any other allies with you?"

[Tassatul]

(ooc: true. too many is bad also. . .i just thought if the others wanted to join thats fine)

'Well, Agrithno is over that hill in sentry-mode, running a systems check and repairing himself. *SLASH* Eventually, Krath is coming in with a full fleet of allies, but who knows when they'll arrive?'

*Tassatul continues to dismember bugs left and right. Suddenly, a force of pop-ups appear around the two.*

'Meto'rah! We've got to get outa here!' yells Tassatul, firing on the pop-up.

[Cobra5]

(I MIGHT be Able to talk Katt in to joining. Her charicter is the head of an army, like, full sized army. Her mothership, The "Apocolypse II", is a huge super-capital-warship, more or less a flying army in it's own sense.

If she joined, The whole thing would probably change pace a bit. It would be a larger conflict, like army vs army, and she could order us on missions and stuff ;D. Just a suggestion. I havn't asked Katt yet, though, so don't get your hopes to high ;D.

In my oppinion, I wouldn't mind it at all.)

*Cobra slowly wakes back up*
Whooo....hey...guys. What's up?

*Cobra looks around. He sees someone cloaked is carrying him*

Oh...uh...Bug Hunter? 'sthat you?

[BugHunter]

(ooc: yea sure, let the others join, but i dont think Matt will, hehe)

*The hunters talk while they carry Cobra on their shoulders*

Misc. hunter 1: "Hey look, the poor blighter woke up"

Misc. hunter 2: (in reply to the question) "Um, no, we're not BugHunter, but we are part of his unit"

Misc. hunter 1: "Yea, dont worry Mr. Cobra sir, you're in good hands now. You took a mighty rough landing back there"

Misc. hunter2: "We have to stay cloaked for now, we dont want to take any more risks of loosing you again"

Misc. hunter 1: "We're heading back to our ship, our friends need help over there"

Misc. hunter 2: "Are you able to walk now, sir?"

[Cobra5]

(I hope you don't mind, I use your hunters just a little bit)

Cobra:"I...think...so"
*Cobra slumps off of his shoulder. He hits the gorund, then gets up with a wobble, staggers a bit, then starts walking along side the hunters.*

"So, where's Bug Hunter and Tassatul? And...well, I'll do what I can when we get back to your ship, but I'm to hurt to fight to hard. And my arm here...I don't think I'll be able to use my--

--My sword! It's still in the wreckage! OH NO! OH CRAP!"

*Cobra starts panicing*
"No! No! No! THIS CAN'T BE! WHY AM I STILL ALIVE!?"

*He Uncloaks. The two other hunters look around real fast, then start yelling at cobra. He's so paniced, though, that he dosn't even hear them*
"NO! NO!"
*Cobra takes off his shield and cloak unit, then he takes his shirt off in a panic, almost ripping it apart.*

*There's a strange wound across his stomach. It's...as if a chunk of flesh is just missing, in a gash lengthwise all the way across him. Theres no blood, no scab, no nothing. Just a big missing chunk, almost as if he got chopped in half...*

"No! NO! NOOO! MY SWORD HAS A CRACK IN IT!"
*One of the hunters shouts a particulaly nasty adjective at cobra, snaping him out of his panic. He quickly puts his equipment back on, cloaks, and explains a bit.*

Cobra:"Ok..Ok..Panicing won't help...ok... I'm alive...

*sigh*
"Ok...Getting killed now won't help any. Sorry...Normall I don't panic but...you know...I have a strong bond with my sword...*He rubs his stomach*...a VERY strong bond. It's made of a special metal so that it can conduct a person's latent energies very well...almost like a Psionic blade. That's how I can lift it and fight with it, even though it weighs more then I do...

"It takes a long, long time of training for the sword to absorb enough energy to become...attached to a person. Years. Kind of like leaving a paperclip on a magnet. After a while, the paperclip will be magnetic...

"But the bond is very strong. And because the sword is tied to me, if anything were to happen to it...well... *he shivers*... look, I can't go on without that sword! I know there's nothing we can do now, we're too tied up, but maybe after we get reinforcements or something...I'll have to go back to the wreckage of the lagger. I have to find my sword...

"Oh well. I guess, well, it's safe in the wreckedge. I doubt it'll break or anyone will find it or anything...So I should be fine."

[Tassatul]

(ooc: cool with me, about the others)

*Tassatul begins working his way back toward Agrithno. Suddenly a strong psionic energy links to his mind*

[glow=red,2,300]'Tassatul? Can you hear me? Krath has arrived with a fleet of Carriers and Arbiters. Also, we can evacuate back to the main base, they've brought some transports. Kas'naradak, my brother. . .[/glow]

'That was Agrithno! if we can get back to his position, the fleet will cover us so we can regroup' exclaimes Tassatul.

[Tassatul]

(ooc: hello?)

*The bugs and popups begin swarming, trying to keep Tassatul and BugHunter from getting away*

'They seem to realize that if we escape, we can come back with a full fleet!' Says Tassatul.

'Perhaps they somehow 'heard' my psionic communication. . .'

[Cobra5]

(Well, I have been reading this, and I want to post, but I want bug_Hunter to post before I do.)

[BugHunter]

(i haven't been able to roleplay cus of school work, and midterms. Maybe during the weekend i can. I haven't had much free time lately)

[BugHunter]

*BugHunter speaks while hacking away at bugs*

BugHunter: "Tassatul, lets split up. I'll go back to my group and you go back to get your forces. I need to help my brothers at arms"


*Meanwhile, back at the Hunting Star, the hunters are still pinned down. Young-Tusk is still at the controls of the ships turrets and the rest are still gunning away. They've successfully prevented the bugs from advancing. Theres a definite line of dead corpses about 50 meters away*

Young-Tusk: "Die, die, die!!!" *blamblamblamblamblamblamblam*

Light-Stepper: "Man... they just keep coming!"


*The two hunters with Cobra are nearby on a cliff. They can see their friends under attack*

misc. hunter 2 (to cobra): "Look, you can get your bloody sword later, we have to help our friends!"

*misc. hunter 2 begins prepping the shoulder mounted mini-nuke launched witch he was carrying*

misc. hunter 2 (to the other hunter): "Load me!"

*misc. hunter 1 puts a mini-nuke at the end of the launcher*

hunter 1: "Loaded"

hunter 2: "I'm locked"

hunter 1: "FIRE!"

*At that, the mini-nuke is launched and begins creating a smoke trail. It heads toward the center of the large number of bugs and then. It twirls in the air a bit and then*

*BOOM*

[Cobra5]

*Wipes some blood off of his shoulder*

Heh...I'm hurt...

*Draws his Ar-115 suport rifle*

..But I'll do what I can...
*he uses burst fire mode to systematicly pick off bugs*

[BugHunter]

*the mini-nuke took out a substantial portion of the bugs. Probably 75%. The rest continue to attack*

*hunter 2 straps his min-nuke launcher onto his shoulder and pulls out a laser rifle. So does hunter 1*

hunter 2: "Alright cobra, lets go! Aaargh!!!"

*The 3 run down the hill side while guns ablazing. They head towards the Hunting Star, shooting any bugs in their way*
