Fullerton [Marcus/GM]

[Lucien DeChain]

{OOC: Woops, didn't realize it was my turn again so soon.}

Lucien nodded and cheered along when appropriate, listening to the plan. He was eager to begin the stealth aspect of it, ready to show just how valuable his new trick would be.

As he was split into the group, under Fox, he grinned. If he wasn't in the group with Marcus in it, that would mean that he would be taking the other flank, and if Marcus had to make someone 'take a dirt nap', they could still maintain efficient strikes without blowing everyone's cover. Though, Lucien was mainly glad that he was useful in the situation.

Almost bouncing on the spot, he gripped his staff and readied for the order to move out.

{OOC} Also Fuck you guys for making me Cram three posts worth of Content into one! You wanna Jump to the fight? FINE! XD {OOC}


Marcus stopped Achilles with a raised hand.
"Whoah whoah Hold it there. I was just mistaken, I have NO interest in putting the Cart before the horse here. First step, We kick Barker out. THEN we can all sit down for some tea and talk about what to do with Fullerton. Now I want you guys in that truck with the rest of the Crows and if you can, let you're brothers and sisters know we are comming, BUT NOTHING MORE! Understand? Good. Now Mount up and Good luck!"

Marcus then turned back to his wolves as the Crow Soldiers began loading themselves back up in the Modded out troop truck.
"Alright guys, Keep the van here, We're gonna pull a stick drop. Fox, your team on the right side, Mine on the left."
Marcus then pointed out a location in Fullerton where she and her team were supposed to drop off before letting his own team know thier own. The pack would nod before moving to the truck and grabbing hold of the railings that ran along the sides, allowing them to grab hold and stick to the sides of the truck.

And Finaly they were off!

As the Truck neared thier first drop off point, Fox would twist her head to face her team, her flaming red hair whipping around her face, concealing her scarred half of her face, ensure she had everyones attention and then carefully hold out a hand, starting the countdown with each drop of a finger before pushing herself off. The rest of the pack (And hopefully Lucien too >_>) would then push off with her, tuck themselves into a PK roll and then begin to run along the street.

Thier mission? Keep low, Cut through the buildings and Make thier way to the Recon point where they can overlook Barkers forces. Quickly and silently they ran low and steady before Fox popped a window open and slipped inside, everyone else following suit as they vaulted through, each in thier own way.
Her team would be holding up south of Barkers forces while Marcus' team would blitz out of sight and set up North, doing thier best to avoid getting spotted.


The Radio's for the Wolfpack would Crackle.

"You guys in position?"

"Aff Sir."

Back to Marcus, He watched as Barkers forces began another assault. He would nod to himself.

"Alright boys and girls. We hit them Quietly, but we hit them HARD. No warcries, I dont want them to know they are under attack until it's too late. Ready?"

Every wolf there would immediatly tense, That thrill of anticipation before diving onto Prey. Waiting for thier Alpha to utter that single phrase to cut them loose.

"Go."

The plan was simple, Run PAST The Scattered pockets of Barker troops and eat deep into the Main battle line, Cutting throats and breaking bones with brutal effeciency, running deeper into the line to break it up further and sow confusion.
Marcus himself would become an avatar of death, Slicing throats, Carving through rib cages and just plain BREACKING people in his powerful hands before tossing dead soldiers into thier comrades.

Sergeant Callen, to his credit would wait for the signal. Once Barkers main line was scattered enough, He would start up the truck and plunge in himself, Hitting Barkers soldiers from the Rear with the payload of Gods and Crows in the back of the Truck.

(OOC: Barker troops: 50 Gods Troops: 5 Crows troops: 20)

Ryo would call all his troops back, no need to lose men over a senseless massacre, especially since the battle was already won. Then out of no where attacks! Several soldiers fell on the first wave before they knew what hit them and began retaliating. Ryo though would be smiling, maybe he actually would see some actions today...

The five soldiers in Marcus' way had no hope and they met a swift end... if they were lucky.

(Barker: 40 Crow: 17 God: 0)

Sider pulled back the minion he was in charge of.

"Pull back men, gather in the main force!" Sider shouted.

Theme Music

}

Lucien was in position. With Fox and the rest of his group, they waited. Ready to move, ready to pounce. Ready to show no hesitation whatsoever, killing whatever came in their way -

Killing...?

"Go."

And they went. Fast. Lucien held the left flank while they bounded and leaped like the wolves they were, deftly avoiding the outlying groups of soldiers out in front. At full sprint they charged towards the main group. And something ran through in his mind. A certain test put forward by Jo, a few weeks ago...

"Alright pup. Pop Quiz time! You're In Barker territory with the rest of us when you get cut off. What do you do? What's the FIRST thing you do?"

The first thing he did was stay with the group. The second thing he did was make sure he, and his pack, weren't in a vulnerable position.

Lucien pressed his hand against Fox's shoulder to get his attention. Once he had it, he would make a hand gesture about himself, one that had been previously determined: I'm going ghost.

Activating his Qi, he kept at full sprint, trusting that the others would know what he was doing. The ripples in the air that were visible from the all-out sprint towards the oncoming enemy force were somewhat disguised by his position in the group, and even though at this pace it was almost impossible to keep his Qi up, he somehow kept going. Raising his staff, he sprinted forward to the front of the group, using his staff as an invisible spearhead as they ran toward the Barker soldiers.

The first soldier would have gotten a very unexpected stab in the eye. The next two would be tripped at their ankles. Then Lucien jumped onto number four.

Four is a bad number.

And it was.

Taking the man to the ground, Lucien placed the staff across the side of the man's neck, and stomped down on both sides.

A sickening crunch was heard, and Lucien's eyes widened. His heart skipped. The man beneath him was not moving. Not struggling. He was laying there, eyes wide and lifeless. Lifeless.

Lucien struggled not to vomit as he stared down at the man. Tears welled up in his eyes. This was not just an enemy soldier. He was a man. A man with a family, and friends, and people who cared about him. A man with stories to tell, and a debt to pay. And Lucien had just killed him.

Looking up suddenly, he realized that his team was in massive danger. He was in massive danger. Looking back down at the man, something clicked in his brain.

Life. Life, right?

His resolve hardened. He looked down at the fallen soldier with the broken neck, and grabbed his knife. A long thick one, one that had seen a lot of this. One that would see more.

His Qi expanded to include the knife as soon as he touched it. Holding it in his right hand, the 5-foot staff in the left, he stood up and looked forward at the soldiers in front of him. And to his sides.

"Good job Pup. Unfortunatly you find yourself surrounded by Barker Troops and we can't get to you. What now? Answer fast now!"

Lucien lunged forwards, burying his knife in number five's throat. Twisting the blade to release the pressure, he pulled the knife deftly out and ran straight for number six.

{OOC: Qi Activated! Level : Hide! (Safe) UNLOCKED!!!! +5 Dex, -5 Cha
At this level, Lucien can use his camouflage as much as he needs to, without adverse effect. While he is perfectly still, he can remain invisible for as long as needed, but the observer may spot 'ripples' or an outline of his person if he moves. He can also heal 5 points of nonlethal, nonpermanent damage.

- Qi defense: When Qi is activated takes half damage from purely Qi based attacks.
-Water has a healing effect, Rejuvinating Lucien's energy and fatigue.}

'Well FUCK there goes that.'

The fight was only a few minutes in and already the Gods had folded. Speaking of Gods where the hell were the rest of thier forces? Had they been swept aside already? Marcus' Radio was screaming merry hell into his ear as he continued to dish out Murder with every swing and strike with the Wolfpack doing thier best to keep up with him.

Casualties were being reported. From how many they have dispatched, this was looking to be BAD arrhythmic. They weren't going to last in a meat grinder. Marcus was going to have to hunt down and find the bastard in command and shut him down.

"Fenris to Ghost Wolf!"
Clearly the lad had impressed Marcus enough to warrant a new Callsign for use in battle. Outside of an engagement Lucien would always be Pup.
"I want you to Drop what your doing and Find me the Commander of this group. If you can spot him before me that's a whole week without any Duty assignments!"

Duty Assignments. The Closest thing to Chores under Marcus' command. Everyone had to do them. Everyone HATED them.
Suddenly Marcus would get a call on the Radio. Seemed Barkers forces were tightening into the Center. Exactly as Marcus predicted.
"Alright boys and girls!"
He would call on his Radio as he continued to strike, doing his best to keep moving fast enough so that the brunt of the enemy around him could not bog him down and wear him out. It was the only saving grace afforded to the Wolves right now.
"Sergeant Callen, Start Working your way towards us. Wolfpack, I want you to fight you're way to the Sergeant! Once you guys meet in the middle form a defensive ring and hold out as long as you can. Ghost Wolf and I are going to Hunt down thier commander."

This was bad. Victory balanced on a knife's edge here Marcus had gone in expecting to relieve a beleaguered Gods force not face off against Barkers entire battle line with what little forces he had available.
Best to make the most of it and pray to the fickle fates it would work.

As the Wolfpack began to rendevous with the rest of the Anaheim forces, Marcus would hop up with one foot smashing squarely down on the shoulder of a Barker trooper, Using the poor guy like a launchpad as he kicked off, sending himself up into the air as he quickly surveyed the battlefield looking for the most flashiest motherfucker in the enemy force.

Because in his experience, Barker Lieutenants Loved thier flash.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

(Ooc: Ok guys I know its been forever, completely my bad I'm sorry but here we go, headin for the finale here.)

Sider: The Barker forces were taking heavy losses from the sudden attack and the call to regroup most of the men had their backs turned to return when they were cut down by crow forces. Sider would find himself with almost no soldiers around him after a few minutes as the Barker soldiers gave up on regrouping on focused on living.

Lucien: As Lucien went on his rampage killing spree he would notice a man at the top of a hill wearing black, armed with a sword, and even seemed to be wearing a top hat for some reason...

Marcus: As Marcus gave the call for his troops to find the Commander all he would have to do is look up as this man came walking towards him.

"Looks like its time for me to get my hands dirty."

He said with a small smile on his face. Ryo had been aching for a good fight.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

Sider began swinging his sword wildly in an impressive disply of the techniques he had learned over the years, he was ready for a challenge. When he spotted this small fuzzy blur, not quite sure what it was but better shoot first and ask questions later. he stayed his sword and unleashed a barrage of fireballs at the hillside.

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien saw the man on the hill, just as the first of the fireballs flew from his hand. Knife and staff readied, he would avoid the oncoming fire by deftly moving from side to side, while approaching the rise of the hill. Small explosions echoed behind him as the fire lit the brush in small places. Still, he continued. He was going to knock the hat right off of that Barker soldier.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

The shadowy blur was becoming more and more shaped up to look like the sillhouette of what appeared to be a very skinny man. This ghost was coming after him, great. It's probably what he deserved for trying to train under a mad man like barker, but how bad could barker really be? Sider didn't actually have the answers to any of these questions, to him it just seemed like Barker was simply in control of another faction in southern california. The whole faction thing was stupid anyways, one random guy blows up the world and everything turns to chaos and you end up having people like Mathew thinking that they're a fucking God or something like that. At least Barker seemed to have more of a level head. I mean, he couldn't have blown up the world, Sider seriously doubted he had that kind of power at his disposal. Still something about Southern California had always seemed a bit...off to him. But on to more pressing matters there was still a ghost he had to kill, and Sider could at least see more of the shape by now so he could focus his fireballs more effectively. So Sider would launch another barrage of fireballs grouped closer together than the last barrage he sent in an attempt to hit this ghost.

[Lucien DeChain]

{OOC: Lucien takes half damage of Qi based attacks, but he is not aware of this fact.}

Lucien was closing in on the target, but he seemed to be thinking a little smarter with his firecasting. Fast, but not fast enough...!

He would dodge all but two very precisely aimed fireballs. In preparation, he put his forearms in front of his face to guard, and pushed through, bracing as he leaped through with surprising (to himself) ease.

As a result, though, his concentration was broken, and his Qi deactivated. Suddenly visible about 5 feet away from the man with the sword, he kept his staff in a guard as he lunged in to slice the man with the knife, sideways across his face.

[Marcus Prasad]

Spotting what HAD to be the commander, Marcus spat off to the side in contempt as he began to walk towards the man in the crazy looking armor who was himself also walking towards Marcus.

"So I take it you're the asshole who thought it would be a good idea to skirt the territory of wolves?"
Marcus asked causally as he cracked his knuckles, his mouth twisting into a vicious wolflike smile as his blood began to sing in his veins. The Barker Mooks were business.

This? This was going to be pleasure.

"Shoulda figured we wouldn't like that. A Good Alpha don't let no threats plant thier silly asses so close to his backyard."
Marcus wouldn't stop walking until either the other man does, or they wind up nose to nose.

"So. You're Move little man."

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Ryo would chuckle as Marcus spoke.

"You see thats just it! I was hoping for this exact reaction from you people. I've been itching to have a good fight for a long time."

As he continued walking towards Marcus, Marcus might notice that the armor Ryo was wearing was turning white, bright white, and there seemed to be a heat haze coming off of the armor. If Marcus continued forward he would be about 2 yards away from Ryo when he would feel an amazing amount of heat coming from the Ryo's armor.

"If big bad wolf wasn't careful I just might singe his mane."

Ryo said with a mischievous smile.

"Or even turn his corpse to ash."

Ryo pulled out one of his swords and went to cut Marcus from his left shoulder down to his right hip.

[Marcus Prasad]

Marcus was immediately thankful that he remembered his sleek black gloves. The other man was putting out a SEARING amount of heat which left Marcus with little choice but to cut the man down FAST lest he get cooked himself. At least not TOO fast anyway. Marcus had been dreaming of a chance to go toe to toe with a Barker Lieutenant for a long while.

Having looked the armored man over, Marcus was ready with a plan of attack by the time The swipe with the sword came and by god was it a ballsy one.

Ducking under outside of the strike, Marcus would then position himself behind his opponent with a two step pirouette which should leave him back to back with the other man, teeth grinding from the heat as he attempts to mule kick the back of Ryo's knee out while at the same time reaching up to grab the hilt of the street Samurai's second sword, giving it a tug towards himself to pull the poor bastard off balance before pulling it out completely.

To finish it off he would then twirl the blade in his hand so that he was holding it reverse grip, wind up and then swing down and back, hopefully plunging the blade just under the side of Ryo's left ribs and out the right side of his collarbone.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

Spotting the knife but just barely Sider quickly pulled out his right hand and attempted to blow the knife, or at least lucien's hand, away with a fireball. Hopefully his careful aim would avoid a scar that would show later, if not sider would half-unsheathe his sword to catch the knife by the hilt.
