Albus swerves away from the building and into an alley to avoid 03's shots. He heard the sphere in the sky unleash another laser and held his breath. 'Caro deus, I hope that didn't hit anybody...' Albus peeked out and noticed the blind 03 was in. Mentally thanking Tsubaki, Albus held out his hands and began to form glass. In mere seconds, a cube the size of a tiny box was formed. He smirked. "Try this on for size, Dåre!" Albus swung out from the alley end threw the cube towards the blind, wasting no time in retreating back to his cover. Seconds later, the cube exploded, sending glass shrapnel in the area around it. It was Albus' own personal grenade. Spoiler: click to toggle

02 vanishes in violet thunder, a block leveled by the sphere's furious assault. Struggling to his feet from Ragna's attack, 05 snarls. "You fuck, he was my best mate!" he hisses. He scans a gaze around: 03 struck by glass and shadow simultaneously, fate unknown but most likely lethal; 07, pistol cut to shit by that monster chainsaw, out of weapons and bleeding fast; 01, the mechanic's axe stuck in his chestplate, blood leaking from the rent in the metal where the axe penetrated, wrestling with the mechanic and trying to headbutt him. Then the whining of engines is overhead, and three Shebalves descend from overhead, their chin guns already singing their grim altos. "Fuck yeah!" 05 roars, as a series of rounds stitch a lead trail right towards Ragna, cutting off his advance. A rope drops from overhead and the Marine grabs onto it, dropping his carbine in exchange for his sidearm. He doesn't fire at Ragna; instead, he pops off a steady series of shots at Rust, trying to scare him off his wingman. Another Shebalve, marked Ascender, tilts downward at the alley Tsubaki lies in. A faint hissing precludes the launching of a missile at the corner she hides behind. The final flies overwatch, a pair of troopers leaning out of the cargo bay and opening fire on Albus, trying to pin him with cover fire. |
Class. Dig it up, dust it off, hang that shit crooked on an ear. My halo's a land mine rind, amigo.

Wrestling for control against 01, Rusty saw the man's head rear back. His eyes widened. OH FU- CLANG! The mechanic blinked, then shook his head a little to clear the cobwebs. 01 appeared to be much worse off, staggering a little. The rocker grinned savagely. "Right, this is how you do it." Grabbing the man's headgear, he brought it forward at the same time as bringing his own forehead down onto it. CLANG! It rang out even louder, Rusty still not affected as badly as poor 01. Feeling the man go limp, Rusty just held onto him for a few seconds more, then dumped him unceremoniously on the floor. The mechanic didn't have much time to celebrate however, the pistol shots coming in thick and fast. One grazed his shoulder, prompting a wince and Rusty dropping to one knee behind cover. It wasn't as bad as the hit he took when he met Ayva, but it was still bleeding a bit. Crouched behind a dumpster, he considered his next move. That chainsaw was still running on the floor, so maybe... Dashing out from behind cover once 05 stopped firing at him, Rusty brought the sledgehammer part of the Defiler into play, slamming into the handle of the still running chainsaw like a golf club, sending it skittering along the floor towards 05's feet. He then darted back into cover, still clutching his shoulder. |

Ragna rolls to the side to dodge the salvo, although he does take a shot to the calf, and snarls. "You're not getting away that easily! Carnage Scissors!" He launches forward for a massive swing at 05, followed by a blast of the Azure's energy. Tsubaki launches her book up to intercept the missile as she scurries away to find new shelter. As she does so, she watches the Shebalves overhead, getting a sense of their general path... She mutters to herself. Up above, a brilliant flash of light swallows two of the Shebalves, although it does not damage them. After crouching down and summoning her book to limp back to her, she focuses again. Izayoi projects a radio jam, shutting down all communications in the vicinity. |

Albus hears the Shebalves coming and stays alert. He sees the flash of light and assumes that Tsubaki is doing it. 'Szar, won't that hurt her eye-' A third Shebalve suddenly appears in front of him. And two soldiers aim. "Ah, fuck! Bräcklig Sköld!" Albus crouches and brings his arm in front of him as though blocking. Glass appears and creates a square shield that is large enough to protect his whole front as he ducks. The shots from the soldiers hit the shield, causing it to crack but a long ways from shattering it. However, Albus is stuck guarding himself from the shots. He grit his teeth. "Oi, I could use some help here people!" Spoiler: click to toggle

The flash fades, and the Shebalves waver slightly, their fire halting. 05's eyes flick between the oncoming chainsaw and Ragna, and then he jerks himself upward on the rope, over the sliding chainsaw and Ragna's attack, leaving them to deal with each other. He drops a primed grenade just to stir the pot as he clambers up the rope like a monkey. 01 drops, limp, to the earth, struck senseless by the massive headbutt. His head lolls to the side. 07 reappears from his rooftop perch, takes a running leap, and manages to land in the cargo bay of the nearest Shebalve the Ascender, which had drifted lower in the aftermath of the flash. He skids to a stop inside and exhales harshly, then crawls towards the side-mounted chain gun. Then there is a crack of thunder, and a lightning bolt drives straight into the Shebalve assaulting Albus, shearing off a wing. As the plane begins to plummet, a tall, blonde woman, her long, unbound hair crackling with electricity, stands up on the side of it and points her parasol at the cockpit. A second bolt of thunder detonates it, throwing the hovercraft into a tailspin. She leaps clear and lands on top of one of the Duct Tape's ruined walls, and with a snarl points one lily-white finger up at the skies. Thunder crackles, and clouds begin to gather. The sunlight fades and the sparkle running over the giant sphere overhead dims as the cloud cover stretches over the skies. "Into the portal, now!" she barks, crimson eyes flashing, and a familiar purple vortex opens in front of the Duct Tape. Edited by Gleam, Jul 4 2012, 07:10 PM.

"RAGNA! WATCH YOUR FUCKING LEGS!" the mechanic cried, eyes widening. However, he was interrupted by the massive thunderclouds that made their presence known. Most importantly, it stopped that laser firing airship thing from firing down at them. Rusty didn't waste time. He had no idea who the blonde woman was (a relative of Rachel's, maybe?), all that he knew is that they'd been granted a second chance by this and this was the last time they were going to be afforded this opportunity. Thinking quick, he dashed to the pile of kit that had been stored up in front of the Duct Tape, which by now was a smoking ruin, and began to toss it through, piece by piece, without much care. Quickly, he finished the set and with one last look at The Duct Tape, he stepped to the entrance of the portal. "ALUBS! RAGNA! YAYOI! WE GOTTA GO NOW! SCREW THE REST OF THIS SHIT FOR A GAME OF SOLDIERS!" Jagd, where the fuck WERE you?!!!! |

"I'm not a dumbass, Rust!" Ragna leaps away from the grenade and heads over to the portal. "Thanks for the lift, bunny-leech. Mind downing that giant whatever above us?" Tsubaki follows him a moment later, wincing from the sheer abuse she had put her eyes through. Both step through and vanish. |

Albus sighed in relief when the Shebalve was hit. The shield faded away and he rose. Seeing the rest of the team bail, he exited the alley and sprinted as fast as he could to the portal. "Rachel, I love you right now!" He whooped as he drew near. "I owe ya for that one!" And with that the Glass Meister ran face-first into the portal. |

The blonde girl leaps down beside the portal and unceremoniously shoves Rust through. "No time!" she hisses, and leaps through after, as the Shebalve's weapons retrain on the portal. Their fire comes too late. It closes. ~*~ 05 finishes climbing the rope and rolls up onto the deck of the Shebalve, lying flat. He turns his head and spits a glob of blood out of his mouth, where the Grim Reaper's right hook had cracked a tooth. "Shit." |
