[FFRP] The Black City...

[Knight Errant]

((What robot? :p))

[muffinstud]

(this robot. the one that's trying to kill you. again.)

[Knight Errant]

"You again?! DIE!"

He quickly swivels his gun around and opens up on the robot!

[muffinstud]

As the gun begins to fire, the red robot fires small beams of light at it. "Ffeeoo! Ffeeoo!" The laser blasts are the only part of it that make noise. The spray of bullets starts to push it back again, but at the same time the mini gun is heating up much faster and hotter than it should.

[Knight Errant]

Jack dodges the blasts as best he can while still holding a bead on the robot and a grip on his hot gun.

[muffinstud]

The robot continues to fire at the gun, with some of the laser blasts being caught in the storm of lead. Some continue to get through, and the mini gun begins to smoke.

[Knight Errant]

There is a metal clack, as the vulcan gun jerks in Jack's hand... and jams from the heat warping the metal.

"... damn."

He drops the gun, takes a grenade, and hurls it at the robot!

[muffinstud]

The grenade bounces just below the robot and settles for a second. When it explodes, it sends the robot a couple stories up. When it comes down it crashes through the roof of the nearest building.

[Knight Errant]

"Great..."

With hopefully some time, he heads over to the bullet-filled girl and bends down next to her.

"Oi! You dead yet?"

[Brnin8r]

((N8 holds a decrepit staff made from a walrus tusk tied to a mammoth shin bone. Runes enscribed on the stick detailed demonic rites. "Klattu Berrata Necktie!!" N8 shouted and with a green, ethereal beam from the earth's depths, the roleplay "THE BLACK CITY..." staggered from its grave, moaning intensely. "GIVE MY CREATURE LIFE!!!!"))

The destroyed convenient store smoldered as the giant robot made no movements. A pillar of smoke ascended into the sky; a fire from the robot or from the store, no one could say. The sky, blackened by what source Jack hadn't discovered yet, began to pour ebony rain. The streets seemed to bleed oil and the windows began to weep the black substance from the heavens.

The truck door opened and shut in the strobe-lit darkness of Caine's gun. "I'm good! Hop in!" The voice cried.

[Zoey]

(NECROMACER! @___________@)

Caine nods and jumps into the vehicle. "What the heck was that?!" he exclaimed as he reloaded his guns.

[Brnin8r]

The girl seemed dead, though she spasmed a lot more than any dead body should. Sparks fired from her joints as a thin line of blood leaked from her eyes. "he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-hellllllllllpppp. he-he-he-he-he-he-he-hellllllllllppp" a mechanical voice cried from her voice box. It seemed to be in a loop. A quick check of her pulse would reveal a VERY slight throb from her artery.

***

The grenade goes off in the carport and several more shrieking screams came as shrapnel ripped the jury-rigged safehouse to hell. The truck stormed out of the garage door, the dim streetlights being the only illumination to light Caine's view. The truck was loaded with guns, ammunition, survival supplies, and tools. From the garage, the gangly thin intruders fumble out; dazed by the explosion. They certainly looked like humans...kind of...their eyes were sunken and decayed and their skin was stretched tight across their skeletal forms. Their hands looked like metal and their nails were unbelievably long. They almost looked naked were it not for the metallic add-ons on their bodies.

[Knight Errant]

Jack sighed. "Well... I wanted someone to question."

He crouches down by her, beginning to take the high caliber bullets out of her with a pair of plyers from his medkit, spraying her wounds with his instant cauterizing agent. He had plenty.

After finishing this work, he pats her shoulder. "Well girly... that will hold you. Now... speak up like a good girl. What the hell is going on here?"

[Zoey]

Surge looked in awe as he watched the creatures for the small time they were visable. "Ok, get to explaining" he said not sounding in the best of moods.

[Brnin8r]

The girl leaned on Jack's leg. Sparks shooting far less now. Her arm jerked and jolted as she tried to point at the ruined building. "M-M-Maaxxx..." her voice box seemed damaged still, "D-d-d-d-destrooooyyer." instead of blood from her eyes, bonafide human tears began to stream down her face, "M-m-myyyy *tchk* tchk* b-b-b-odd-d-d-yyyy"

The truck ran off a jump made of destroyed asphalt as the street seemed to be bucked open, "My name is Damian. This used to be the center of the world, as you probably were told when you were assigned to come investigate...like me. Once you got in, your unit was destroyed if you were sent with one and you were the sole survivor or you're some mercenary like me who's found more than money's worth in here. With no way out now." he looked to Caine, "How right am I so far?"
