[FFRP] Kidaroc Myths: A Fighting Chance

[Haylie]

"I'LL SHOW YOU A VIC-- ARRGH!"

As her ankle is twisted, she falls onto her back, growling in fury and pain.



(Yes, her name is Grey Inu Hanyou)

[Knight Errant]

Julian smirks as Grey is decked, then looks back at Surge. His face goes through a series of emotions, then goes to neutral.

"... fine."

He begins speaking in an almost monotone.

"Before I was stationed in that base most of this happy goon squad came from, I ran with the 102nd Armored Transport division. Our job, as you probably know, was to protect convoys of supplies and weapons moving from one base to another. It was a tough assignment... but the guys in my division were tough as nails, ready for anything the girls threw at us. They could be assholes sometimes.. but always kept a sense of humor. I was the front point spotter. My job was to ride on the back of a vehicle out in the front and look for approaching girls so I could alert the division and begin picking them off."

His gaze goes back to the ground as he continues.

"Anyway... we had just picked up a cargo from the Shorepoint Armory and were taking it over to the base at New Little Odessa. It was about... two thirds of the way into the trip when they struck. We were heading through a valley... and it was like they just... rose out of the ground around us. They never fired a shot. They just climbed onto the cars and... started tearing apart everyone. They had... metal claws strapped to their wrists."

His voice cracks slightly from emotion as he tries to continue. "A-anyway... Tom, my driver... was soon watching his insides see fresh air. He yanked the wheel... the car hit a rock and overturned. I ducked... I think Tom and the hybrid were crushed to death. I was pinned... and the car caught fire above me. They must have thought I was dead... or maybe they just thought roasting to death would be a grisly enough death for me."

"As I was pinned... I watched through the twisted burning wreckage of the car as the hybrids continued... They left no one alive. Some of the boys they restrained at first... then they tied them to the hoods of their cars so they could... torture them. I still hear the screams... and their laughs..."

He closes his eyes... standing still for a few minutes before he works up the will to finish. "They took anything they wanted, loaded it on one of the trucks, and drove off. The rest of the cars they set on fire."

"When they were gone... I spent a few hours prying myself from under the car. I dont know why it didnt explode... maybe I was just." He laughs bitterly. "Lucky..."

"I walked the rest of the way to Odessa with a few broken bones and some burns."

[Zoey]

Surge's eyes widen. "Wait... but the reports said the 102nd was disbanded before the trip to Odessa. The 84th division took that job..." Surge places his hand over his chin in a thinking position, then turned his sight back to Julian. "If what your saying is true... then it was all a cover up to keep the hybrids existance a secret?" said Surge as his sight shifted constantly.

((Nice story Knight! ^^ ))

[Knight Errant]

((I try... I try. XD))

"Thats right... after I gave my report I was shipped to a, heh... 'secure hospital' to recover. There I was told that if I ever told anyone the hybrids existed I would be given a cigarette, a blind fold, and a nice wall to lean on... I didnt give a damn... I just wanted to forget it ever happened. A few months later I was released... and ever since I have been transferred to high risk assignments like this one."

"So go ahead, Surge... call me naive again... wave your gun around... but dont you ever think for one second I will tag along while you join up with these... things."

[Zoey]

"And what proof do you have these hybrids are the ones who attacked you? You are discriminating against them. Hasn't it crossed your mind that if they were as blood thirsty as you discribed them, they would've ripped our heads off long ago? Heck they even helped us cure our wounds" said Surge as he glared at Julian.

[Knight Errant]

"Dont be an idiot... I know if they were the same ones we would have all been dead hours ago."

He looks over to Grey and glares.

"They might act civilized... they might even think they are... but under that is an animal. And animals have no loyalties, they have no sympathies... they have no mercy."

His eyes go back to Surge. "So if its all the same to you, sarge... just transfer me to my next suicidal post. Because I swear... if you try to get me to stick around you after this... you will regret it."

[Haylie]

Still on her back, Grey yells through her teeth.

"Mercy? MERCY?! Don't YOU talk to ME about G**DAMN MERCY! You have NO IDEA what happened to US if WE DIDN"T OBEY the F***IN' GIRLS!! We got tortured ourselves! Do you know what a RACK feels like?! DO YOU?!?!"

[Knight Errant]

"Your just proving my point... that underneath your cute exterior..."

"Your nothing but a rabid dog, tossed away by your own master."

[Haylie]

"We did NOT get "tossed away"! We ran! Tactical retreat! And you're not acting very grateful to someone who just saved your ass!"

[Knight Errant]

"Saved... right. Is that what you call raiding our camp, knocking us out, and dragging us to this hole?"

[Shadowmaster]

Ken struggles to free himself from the girls grip. Damn...she's strong and fast.

[Brnin8r]

Riana held her hands up, "Enough." was all she said, stern and short to silence everyone, "Julian. What you've described is something I cannot fix. With your poor experience I fear that we won't ever see eye to eye. If that is the case, I am sorry." she walked closer to him, her eyes reflecting a sort of internal conflict that meant something more to her. "Perhaps it's a wise choice to keep a ten foot pole's distance between yourself and fear..." her last statement seemed in orbit as if she was remembering something, but the thought was quickly stamped out, "But we're wasting time. Julian, we will not be riding beside you for some time, we simply requested field eyes to help our fight against the girls. Your fort, if it still stands, is in great danger." she said it quickly, dragging Grey behind her out back into the complex. She stopped at the door. "You may take our bikes to get there faster. They're at the entrance." and with that she continued to drag Grey out the door.

The dog girl quickly has Ken pinned with his arms painfully behind his back. The dog girl smiled, "You're fun." and with that she licked up his face. "All right, you can go in. But someday I want you to come back when you're ready." she gave a sly wink as she started walking out into the burrow.

Dan's time limit ran out and the door unlocked for him. (sorry about being so lame with the DO NOT OPEN TILL NEW YEARS policy lol)

***
The hybrids didn't give her much room for pleasantries but they could easily see that Alana held no hostile feelings toward them. Around her she could see a dozen dog and cat girls, a couple bunny girls, and a fox girl.

[Shadowmaster]

Ken rubbed his arms as he began walking further into the burrow. That...was the single weirdest thing...ever. he thought to himself.

[Zoey]

Surge looks at Riana. "I'm sorry our alliance has had such a rocky start. With our combined effort I hope we can save countless lives..." he said giving Riana a quick bow before he walks towards the door. "Come on guys! We don't have all day"

[Haylie]

As she's dragged out, her face still twisted with pain, Grey offers the middle finger to Julian.

Shawn, who had been standing in the corner wide-eyed, finally speaks up.
"Might've overdone it a bit, don't you think, Julian?"
