[FFRP] The Black City...

[Brnin8r]

The chunk of metal, being a chunk of metal, wasn't too scathed from Jack's stomping, but the light had stopped blinking.

The voice suddenly grew a hand as Caine felt his throat being squeezed, "Once more. I want to live. And you're threatening the precious security I've obtained here...now if you want to live, as I am right now, you'll shut your gob!" he said. As he did, the faint sound of something scurrying on metal could be heard above them. "Ah, damn..." the voice mumbled, "You know how to use those guns you have at your side? You might need them soon."

[Zoey]

Caine freed himself from the guys grip. "What's going on?" said Caine as he looked around trying to see what the big deal ways.

[Knight Errant]

Figuring he should take it... for the examining of it in case he got out of there, he picks it up and drops it in his pocket... then continues on down the street.

[Brnin8r]

The voice sounded far more fearful and agitated, "No time to explain. Shoot anything that moves while I load the truck." the voice says as the scrambling of tools can be heard as the person starts loading metal into a metal truck bed. What sounds like a ventilation duct being ravaged by a swarm of mice can be heard above the two. The noise moved from the top to the side wall where presumably the duct exit lay.

Jack continued to move outward from the city. When he was about a mile from the city's end, the shattering of a window could be heard. From the third story a figure leaps to the middle of the street. It seemed very thin and lithe, lanky almost. It stood up, the same headgear as the rest, the curved mirror mask but instead of a holocaust robe sheathing it's form, a tight almost metallic suit curving around what is unquestionably a woman's form. From it's back it withdrew a wicked sword. The sword was as black as the city and sported barbs that seemed hungry for flesh. The woman pointed it at Jack and in an almost dead-sounding voice, "You. Cannot. Leave."

[Zoey]

Caine loaded his guns and took a defensive position protecting the man while he laoded the truck. He didn't want to shoot the air duct so that whatever wa sin there fell to their level. "What the hell are you loading?"

[Knight Errant]

"You can talk, hmmm?"

He points his gun at the woman, its barrels whirring rapidly.

"Why cant I leave?"

[Brnin8r]

The man, now out of breath from carrying the still clattering pieces of metal, "No time to explain, just hold them off." As he said that, it was as if a welcome for the duct to sound like a lawn mower had just found it. The crunching and grinding of metal could be heard as the duct vents were being destroyed. Once a hole was large enough a screeching wail was heard as whatever was in the duct made its way out. With no lights, it was hard for Caine to see anything still.

The woman merely held her blade, not moving. "Do. Not. Leave."

[Knight Errant]

"Tell that to Spock here..." He pats his Vulcan gun... then squeezes the trigger. Sending rounds that could chew through tank armor at the figure.

[Zoey]

Caine did his best trying to shoot randomly. "Damn it! How do you expect me to hold em if I don't know what the hell i'm figthing?!" shouted Caine frustrated at the man's slow progress.

[Brnin8r]

The figure merely stood as the bullets missed for the first half second. As the bullets impacted her body, sprays of blood erupted from the locations. The woman attempted to charge toward Jack but suddenly a girlish cry came from her mouth as she crumpled to the ground. (all in all about three or four seconds)

The grating metal sounds got louder as it seemed like the metal duct was being thrown into a blender. Through the flashes of Caine's gun he can see people that looked like the one he had killed in the tavern. Only these ones were lanky and almost skeletal. Their bodies were abnormally thin but despite their lack of muscle they ducked and weaved, most of Caine's bullets hitting the wall. Every now and again a scream would indicate a hit.

[Zoey]

Using the flashes to indicate where the enemy was Caine laid down a storm of bullets before he had to reload. "I could use some help over here!" he shouted as he reloaded.

[Knight Errant]

Jack quickly cuts off his stream of fire. "Mmm... dont bring a sword to a gun fight... girl."

Keeping Spock ready, he goes over to see if any life is left in her... maybe she could actually answer some questions.

[muffinstud]

A nearby wall explodes in a spray of brick and dried caulk. The red robot hovers silently, brandishing two appendages with hollow circular ends at Jack. Despite being the same shape as before, it's gaze seems to be more angry than the last time.

[Brnin8r]

The girl seemed to be struggling. Her oil-colored blood seeped onto the pavement and she seemed to almost be 'on the fritz'. She would occasionally spasm. As Jack got closer it seemed like she was trying to say something, but before he could get an ear to it the robot burst through the wall.

The metal noises clanging in the back of the truck seemed to be getting less loud as it got on, obviously the loading was almost finished. "Can't help...just shoot a little longer." the voice said in quick, panicked breaths. The creatures got closer, their mirrored faces reflecting the bright gunflashes. Their wicked claws drew ever closer to Caine despite his kills.

[Zoey]

"Well since were leaving this place, I don't think you'll mind a little remodeling!!!" shouts Caine as he grabs from his pocket what appears to be a granade and throws it into the horde, without letting up on his attack and with 1 shot he shoots the granade as sets of an explosion.
