[FFRP] Kidaroc Myths: A Fighting Chance

[Knight Errant]

"Maybe not everyone is dead after all..."

He goes in!

[Sam]

*Arthur is struggling to enter the building

Maybe I should just wait here.....

[Brnin8r]

(sorry about leaving everyone behind but it was a REALLY cool part of the story that would have gone to waste if I had gone to work before I got it all out of my head lol)

Surge opened the door to find a dismally grim scene; the council, each member, sit in their chairs as if in a meeting...though they're all slumped over on their respective desks except for one. The gore stained wall covered in blood and brains lay as a testament to the reason that everyone is slumped over. Each boy has a gun in his hand and various goodbyes written out, though most of them have been soaked in their own juices. The one council member that is not at his seat lies dead on the ground, his own head sporting a hole, and a gross message written in what seems like everyone's blood: We know not what we do. In one hand a pistol, in the other a filing folder that he seems to be clutching on for dear life. One thing Surge might have noticed is that the green fog hadn't touched this room before he opened the door.

Julian would find...Dan! Only a girl sort of Dan. She was huddled in the corner crying and hugging her legs tight to her chest. (I'll play Dan for the next bit until such time as Muffin returns)

***
All was silent and just as everyone was about to return to their duties, a much louder, closer explosion was heard. Each of the hybrids began to snarl as the realization hit them that it was no two armies attacking one another...but someone was attacking them. They each grabbed a gun or some sort of weapon and readied themselves. Some dog girls grabbed a couple pistols and ran off toward the noise.

[Knight Errant]

Not being able to tell it was Dan... but feeling that she probably wasnt a Girl girl... hopefully... Julian speaks up.

"Um... hey?"

[AshK]

"What is going on here? What am I supposed to do? I am still human."

Alana finishes washing the dishes, let's them Air Dry and returns to the lab.

"Um Jaina, something or someone is attacking this place. I don't know if I could do anything in my current form. I would look out of place. Then if it is the girls they will try to take me back. I don't want to go back to a place where they have no respect for me just because I wasn't born a girl."

[Zoey]

Surge had to bite his own lip until is bleeded to keep himself from going crazy. He had never seen such a barbaric kind of slaughter. He tried reaching for the folder the boy clenched. He turned over the body and took the folder and opened it.

[Haylie]

Shawn enters the meeting room a short time after Surge, about the time he reaches the council member's body. She pokes her pistol in first, slowly enters, and lowers it again once she feels satisfied nobody's going to shoot. She looks around the room and has to put her free hand up to her mouth to keep from losing her lunch.

"This... th-this is... horrible..."

[Sam]

*Arthur decides to walk in trying to stay calm

just stay calm....

[Brnin8r]

The girl Julian walked up to flinched at first in fear at the voice before she looks up. "Julian!" she cries as she darts across the room to hug him tightly. Now the hug, obviously, wasn't intended for affection, but Julian got the very distinct impression she was scared out of her wits and wanted something bigger to protect her.

Surge would discover that the folder file was in fact thick with random papers. As he perused their content he would find different plans, named boys who had died in action, pictures of key strategic areas in the boys armies and infrastructure, detailed letters of this particular council agreeing to trade off a few boys for their own protection from the girls, a few stacks of cash given to them with the photograph of a boy with a picture of a girl that looked distinctly like the boy in front. Finally at the back of the file, were plans with TOP SECRET stamped on each one. Pictures and blueprints of various weaponry that detailed at first defective weapons to be given to boys in the field...but as Surge looked further he realized why these boys might have committed such a mass suicide; a machine of their own. A new frontier of technology that could help the boys. The machine seemed capable of storing sound as a round of ammunition. Various test subjects both boy and girl are documented here with various side affects like jostled organs, irreparable brain damage, and a slow agonizing death. This illustrated clearly why the girls would have done this...but Surge hadn't seen the "this" that had happened. (lol)

Arthur would find the fort relatively spooky. The ambience was almost too much to bear in one sitting. As if the scene couldn't get any scarier he felt a hand pat him on the shoulder. "Tell me, soldier. Who did this?"

***
Jaina seemed truely worried as she darted back and forth. She didn't pay attention to Alana for the most part but as she paced to different pieces of machinery she'd put in her two cents. "There's not much else you can do." she grabbed a rifle, "You know how to use one of the real ones right?" Alana would find it a little confusing but pretty similar to her FemmeX gun and Shock rounds with the boy's guns. "I need you to defend as best you can because Rachel's in stasis...and if the machines are damaged or the power is lost...we might lose Rachel." she went back to work, relaying power and whatnot around the lab.

[Knight Errant]

He puts his arms around her awkwardly.

"Calm down... I'm here along with the rest of the squad..."

"Do you know what happened here?"

[Brnin8r]

Dan held tighter onto Julian, and shook her head a little, "I don't know what happened *sniff*...I just heard screaming...so much screaming...so much pain. It went on forever...and then nothing...it sounded like the people outside my room were choking..." she broke again and began sobbing into Julian's jacket (or whatever your external weather boundary is)

[Knight Errant]

Camo jacket! XD

Julian nods, patting her as she cries. "Alright... when your ready lets get you out of here. We can wait for the others outside..."

"Believe me, you dont want to stay here..."

[Sam]

*Sam turned around still trying to stay calm... even though his heart is about to explode

I'm not sure...

[Brnin8r]

Dan held tighter if that were possible, "Where is everyone...? What's happened?" she said as if she knew she didn't want to know and wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

The man Arthur saw as he turned around was tall. Taller than Sam by a few inches. He wore what looked like a ragged camoflauge shirt with a dirty, worn-out jacket on top of that. His dirt-crusted khakis had a few holes that were covered by duct tape. His eyes seemed like endless blue pools filled with experience, surrounded by a dirt covered face. His beard, of which was maybe two or three inches long covered his mouth and his long hair flowed down his back from inside his old army hat. Where a label once was on the front of the hat was no empty, the label ripped off. He didn't seem to carry any weapons but the vibe that came from him clearly stated he had seen enough things to beat the hell out of anyone. "We'll need to get out soon. There's not much time before whoever did this comes and finds out what's happened. Is there anyone else here?"

[Knight Errant]

"They... they're all dead. I dont know what it was... some kind of new horror made by the girls... but your the only person I found alive here..."

"Now come on... you dont want to stay here... lets get outside."

"And... dont look into any open doors..."

She didnt need to see that... no one did...
