[FFRP] Kidaroc Myths: A Fighting Chance

[Shadowmaster]

Ken's eyes went wide when he saw the grenade land in the truck. He jumped from his seat to throw it out as quickly as he could, hoping it wouldn't go off.

[Knight Errant]

With Dan shouting and Ken diving for the grenade... all Julian can do is watch and hope it is thrown out of the truck before it goes off.

[Brnin8r]

Shawn's grenade bounces off the cockpit window and explodes just under the chopper blades. The light explosives combined with the electrical output is sufficient enough to stall the engine. The helicopter begins to swerve and it's easy to see the pilot attempting to regain control over the bird. As control grows less and less easy to maintain, the chopper begins to spin and tumble to the ground and crashes with a resounding sound of twisted metal and broken glass...right in front of Max's truck.

Ken quickly grabs the grenade and attempts to throw the volatile sphere out the back, as it releases from it's hand, it detonates. The searing metal pierces into Ken's hands and the pink cloud of FemmeX fills the back. The boys begin to scramble for their innoculations, but it's clear to see that for all the boys in the back, there are enough syringes for all but two boys. Ken's hand took the brunt of the shrapnel, no one else is seriously injured, but Ken's hand is bleeding, broken, and a flourescent pink.

The girl arches her eyebrow and looks to the syringe, "...that would have downed a horse for a week..." she muttered. She shakes her head of the questions, "Well you certainly seem adjusted to the transformation. We won't be attacking the boys for a while. You're still missing an arm."

[muffinstud]

(is Dan hit by this?)
"Whoah!" is all Dan can say after the explosion. Seeing the frantic state of the boys in the back, he searches the cab to see if there are any more innoculations, just in case they don't have enough.

[Mystic Mina]

Ashton lets out a loud curse when he sees the pink gas cloud roll into the back and immediately dives for the medicine box to get a syringe. He doesn't use it on himself, though; instead, he tosses it to those who were closest to the grenade.

"C'mon, pass 'em back! Those guys need more than us!"

[Sailor Ganymede]

"I guess I am called Alana now. Allen certainly doesn't sound like a very good name for me anymore. So I was wondering, was I basically left for dead by those stupid boys? I am just curious. So anyway, how are we going to fix my arm? I can't really use my swords and shotgun with one arm now can I. Anyway do you have a name?" Alana said then asked.

"I'm so sorry for annoying you. I must've been a really stupid boy if I got my arm blown off." Alana asks as she laughs a bit.

(That recovering and adjusting fast thing, that is an original quirk of my characters. Also when I have something happen to me like I get sick and have to leave work early, I usually end up a lot better and ready to go the next day. Which means, I have a quick recovery rate. I thought I would put that in for Alana. Is that too much or is it okay?)

[Haylie]

(I'm assuming Shawn is in Max's truck? Or what?)

[muffinstud]

Dan tosses the one syringe he could find in the cab back to Ashton. "Do we have any new injuries back there?" He nervously shifts his gaze between the road and the chaos in the back. If one of those boys is hurt, he won't be able to forgive himself. They are in his truck after all.

[Knight Errant]

Julian nods at Ashton, and begins passing out syringes. After awhile, only one left is the one Dan tossed to Ashton. Julian and Ashton are the only ones left not inoculated.

Julian looks from the syringe, up to Ashton, and to the empty medicine box.

"Well... this sucks."

[Mystic Mina]

(I know Brnin said that there would be enough to save everyone except two, but more drama is always better. )

"Crap." Ashton says when he realizes that either he or Julian was going to have to sacrifice his manhood to save the other. He looks at the syringe in his hand. It would be all too easy to just stick it in his own arm and rescue himself from girlhood.... But....

Before the other boy can move to stop him, he lunges forward, jams the needle into his leg, and injects the antidote. There, it was done.... Now all he could do was wait for the inevitable.

[Knight Errant]

"..."

"Why did you do that? You could have... saved yourself."

[Brnin8r]

((Ack...I knew this would happen...I'd set up a deadline system...and I'm at a point that if I don't know what Mendou's doing, I can't really do anything...so...I'ma take a little GMic liberty and some logic and assume Max tries to swerve and ends up rolling the truck *shrugs*))

GMic Liberty!!!: Max saw the collapsing bird crush into the ground, "Oh Sh-!!" Max yells as he whacks the steering wheel 'round to the left to swerve out of the way, but the weight of the transport is too much for the center of gravity and the truck screeches on two wheels and eventually rolls. The groan of bending metal announces the roll and shouts from the boys resound in Max's ears as the transport lands on it's side, the glass of all the windows shattering. On the brighter side, they didn't hit the helicopter.

The boys in Dan's transport hear Max's truck roll.

The platoon leader driving Shawn's vehicle slows to a halt in front of Max's toppled truck "You did a damn good job soldier, now let's see what we can do about this. We need to get this hunk of metal back to 90 mph soon before the girls show up again."

***
The girl smiles, "Well we can call you Alana I guess. And no...you were dead to the boys. Dismembered limb, unconcious, a dire situation...they didn't care about you. They saved their own skins. And my name's Anna."

[Mystic Mina]

"I saw what you did for those two wounded boys back there. Consider this a reward.... Now, go. Earn it.... Save those guys in the other truck.... Ugh...."

Ashton falls to his knees. The gas is beginning to affect his body.... He could barely keep his eyes open now.

"Just promise me.... If I turn when you get back, shoot me. Please...."

[Knight Errant]

"Alright... I will... But dont think it will come to that. We will get you help. I swear it..."

He goes out and to the overturned truck quickly, trying to assess the damage and start pulling people out.

[muffinstud]

At hearing the crash and screeching metal, Dan slows the truck down and veers towards the wreckage. He stops the truck a few yards from the wreckage and jumps out. "You guys all right in there?"
