Push the line! (UGF 1 & 2)

[David B.]

David would follow, and as the armies clashed, he would be beside Mathew, thrashing Barkers men. A slice across a throat, a clout of wind. He was back at full strength.

OOC((Just posting to keep Davids placeholder))

[Kyrie Blaze]

Should Levi be successful in his light-manipulation (or even if not, as the shadows from Mathew's spikes would enable her to travel), Kyrie slipped along in the shadow stream, popping up behind a soldier two or three rows back, cutting up through one hamstring, jumping up with her hands on his shoulders - shadow knife gone - to pull her body up.

She settled her legs on his shoulders, clamping them tight against his head to twist, snap his neck, and fling his body into his brethren. When she landed, if not already on a shadow, she would roll into one and vanish again.

[Orion]

Orion would charge along beside Mathew, a few steps behind as his weapon gave him more range. No point in anything fancy, successive flurry of stabs would be launched ahead of him at Barker's forces, aimed at the head, neck, and torso. Vital points are a bitch to be stabbed in, eh?

[David B.]

OOC: Assuming this is still running, per post of Mikeys. I'd like to see this moving again. If needed, mikey or Squee can continue where Leon left off.


David would lunge to the front, clapping his hands together thunderously. Spikes would rocket out, dozens of them, aiming for the incoming barker troops. If any hit his own men, they would seem to melt away. He brought his hand up, stabbing another enemy as he shouted at Mathew.

"LETS GET THEM IN A THINNER HALLWAY, PUT THEIR NUMBERS TO NOTHING. OUT IN THE OPEN, WE'RE TAKING SENSELESS LOSSES!"

He would turn and kick another in the chest, waiting for Mathews orders. They could easily take a side room, where Barkers men would have one doorwary to pour through, and they would be able to pile their bodies like a wall.

[Kazuya Hikari]

(OOC: I have Mathew's okay to join.)

"Gouka!"

Suddenly, almost out of nowhere it seemed, a pillar of fire would arise, engulfing a good part of Barker's men, instantly roasting them alive, and if any weren't burnt to a crisp instantly, they'd slowly writhe in pain from the intense burns they suffered. Lifting his hand up from the floor, Kazuya would take long strides before catching up with the group, dressed in full battle gear, wearing his helmet this time and a slight smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Sorry I'm late, traffic was murder out there."

[Marcus Prasad]

{OOC} So Leon has seen fit to put ALL your lives within the Palm of my hand.
You should all be Frightened now.
Alright ladies and Gentlemen! Say Hello to your new GM for the remainder of this thread! Please throw any and all preconceptions out the window and hold on to your asses!{OOC}



Deep down within the heart of the Facility, within the very command center that acted as the brain, sat a Rather Dapper looking gentleman upon a leather chair, one leg crossed upon his knee as he watched the carnage wrought by the dragons and thier entourage upon the Massive monitors that encircled the Dias upon which he sat, surrounded yet again by Benches, Equipment, Consoles and Monitors presided over by Lab coated Scientists and White Haired Uniformed Soldiers.

"Such Unbridled violence."
The man would finaly speak in a heavily distorted voice that projected to all four corners of the room with a mixture of Disdain and admiration. The silence afterword punctuated by the almost gentle mechanical hiss of the mans breathing. Rising to his feet, Facility Director Ichabod Vogelbaum held out a gloved hand as a Lab coated woman placed a microphone into it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, to your places and please observe the monitors. We shall soon be showing our guests the true price for defiance."

****************************************************

As the Experiments continued to swarm towards Mathew, David and Co. in a frenzied mass of grasping hands and gnashing teeth, clambouring over the blood soaked tattered bodies of thier comrades in a rabid attempt to pull the gang down and beat them to death, The loudspeaker would suddenly squawk to life which would have the VERY eerie effect of causing ALL of the Experiments to just.......stop. As if a button was pushed, the attacking horde would cease, step back and just stand there as if waiting.

"Greetings cherished visitors to my humble facility. If I had known I was about to play host to the venerable Dragons I would have arranged for a much more.......suitable welcome for you all. As it stands, I've been forced to improvise. No matter though, Please feel free to move about the facility at your leaisure. You shall be hearing from me again very soon."

The Remaining few Experiments would then look to each other in confusion before walking out of the room, returning to whatever assigned task they had of themselves.

The gang would find themselves in a courtyard of sorts. Concrete Walls coated in streaks of blood and marks made by fingernails.


****************************************************

"Well now."
Tapping the long stemmed microphone into the palm of his gloved hand before returning to his leather chair. Where some would see defeat, Vogelbaum could only see opportunity!
Placing the Microphone carefully opn the table, He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, bringing a Lanky white haired man in red and blue out from the shadows where he had been leaning against a pillar lazily.
"Tubalcain? Would you be a good lad and fetch the O.G.R.E.s please? Take our recent batch of Third Gens with you as well."

The man scowled, but nodded before dismissing himself, leaving Vogelbaum to his tea as he continued to watch the gang from his array of monitors.
"Well Ladies and gentlemen? Best of luck to you all. And may God have mercy on you, for we shall not."

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai looked around hesitantly as the room began to clear out, something bad was going to happen very soon, Rai didn't need to use his sixth sense to know that. He made his way back to Mathew's side and prepared for an attack from anywhere.

"Well this is obviously a trap... Awaiting your command master."

[Aryn Valcoph]

Aryn didn't stop the fire, even when the experiments stopped moving with the squawk of the loudspeakers. This, of course, was while clamping her hands over her ears for a few moments after it started. Let the man speak, but these were easy targets.

She may not have liked it, necessarily, but chances were likely that if they swept house here, the less they'd have to fight, later.

Seemed like sound logic, to her.

[Kyrie Blaze]

With her ability to form and keep a hold of her shadow weapons on hold, Kyrie turned to physically snapping bones and keeping away from the black flames that came a bit too close for comfort. Luckily, she didn't seem to be in danger, this time.

With the sudden screech from the loudspeaker, the blonde stumbled into visibility before disappearing back into the shadows. That noise wasn't fun. In fact, it hurt her already acute hearing. She frowned slightly and chose her targets quickly. There was no frenzy, just a cool and calculated decimation as she played her part unless - for some reason in this war - one of the Named called a cease to the fighting.

She careened through the shadows to the edges of the group, picking off the ones that were more vulnerable there because they had nobody to watch their backs. It was when the Experiments started to leave that she sprang from the shadows and rolled away into a crouch to slip backwards towards the group, crouched as though she was just waiting to spring into action again.

[Jackson]

Jackson paused momentarily as the loudspeaker came on, but ignored it and returned to hunting down the fleeing Experiments. He moved to trip, then snap their necks. As he finished his lot, he returned to where the others were standing and took up a defensive position next to Aryn.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Slowly raising his eyes to the loudspeaker as it squawked to life, Kazuya would continue to keep the flame pillar he had created burning away, even as the Experiments ceased moving and stepped back, just standing there motionlessly. His eyes narrowing at the voice, without even looking, he'd fire blasts of flames from his hands, easy targets they were, but as soon as the little no meet but greet was over and the remaining Experiments cleared out, he'd continue to act as rear guard, which suited him just fine.

He'd just burn whatever came their way to ashes.

[Orion]

After felling another opponent, Orion would subtly slide back in the lines, back to be with Kazuya. He wanted to chat with the fire dragon.

"Hmph... think we have enough forces here? Not to mention there seems to be quite some on the fly combos being formed."

A subtle nod to the Levi/Kyrie tag team. Still, two elder dragons, a number of smaller ones, and Orion, along with mooks?

[Marcus Prasad]

{OOC} Mmkay, for the sake of keeping the momentum going, FULL STEAM AHEAD! Ryan, Corey, I can easily slip you guys back in at any time so don't you guys worry!{OOC}

Vogelbaum cocked his head, betraying not a single emotion from behind his black mask as he watched the last of the Experiments too slow to escape be cut down and burned to a crisp. Letting out a disaproving series of distorted tuts, he gave his head a grave shake.

"They seem to be lacking in any motivation to leave that room."
He commented to himself before locking eyes on one of the technicians working below.
"Perhaps we should provide them with some incentive?"

****************************************************

After a few moments of quiet in the room, the smell of burnt flesh and blood nearly overwhelming, Our hero's would only have a few moments to relax before a constant hissing could be heard. A Misty gas would soon begin to be pumped into the room through the ventilation shafts that normally fed oxygen into the underground facility.

The Gas would sting the lungs and rob the gang of thier breath, making them feel drowsy until they pass out.

The gas will immediatly knock out anyone of CON 10 or lower.
Anyone CON 20 or lower will be knocked out at the end of thier next post if they do not escape the room, with CON 30 and below after two turns, 40 and below after 3 and so on and so forth every ten CON.

There are two obvious methods of escape. on the 'North side' of the room is a single red door with a lever handle and on the 'South' side, a set of metal double doors with a keypad.

{{OOC}} Could everyone please continue posting one post per round so that I can keep track who's been in the gas and for how long. Thanks! {OOC}

[Kazuya Hikari]

"... It's better than being a one-man army. Who knows how many Experiments Barker has in total..."

The sound of hissing catching his attention, Kazuya's head would immediately whip up to the ventilation shafts located up above them, as his eyes narrowed, just mere slits now.

"Time to bail boys and girls!"

Pulling his bandanna up immediately, to cover his mouth and nose, which would devoid him of airborne chemicals, particles, and air related effects, he'd let the others handle the door with the lever on the 'North side' while he took care of the door on the 'South side' by firing twin streams of fire from his hands at the metal doors, to try and melt them. If he was successful, he'd immediately shove the doors open, and get the hell out of there.

[Jackson]

Jackson heard the hissing, and ran towards Kazuya to exit the South exit. He punched the keypad a couple of times until it was hopefully ripped off. If it was, he'd disconnect a couple of the wires and try and open the doors that way. Otherwise, he'd look around for something to help Kazuya pry the door open. He put his shirt over his face to try and slow the effects of the gas, but it didn't seem to help much.
