Round 42: The Sunset InvasionLocation: Denmark, WisconsinWeather Conditions: Snow (12.5 inches)Time: Morning Birdy witnesses his Hailfax Bomber get torn to pieces as a plane cruder than his own but just as ferocious swoops down and riddles it with a full concentrated burst of machine gun fire. The bomber groans, chunks of metal flying off of it, smoke filling its compartments and several pieces falling apart. Birdy goes off into the city to find alternate transportation, after all, with such a hasty abandoned of the city surely there must be working vehicles around. (2) This turns out not to be the case, as there are many vehicles on the road, none of them functional and most so damaged so are beyond even salvaging.
"DO NOT FEAR, MY SUBJECTS, THE FORCES WE FACE SHALL NOT BE PREPARED FOR US, BUT ONE TRIBE DROVE BACK THE HORRID INVADERS, AND WITH THIS FORCE, WE SHALL CRUSH ANY WHO OPPOSE US!
NOW, FOOORTH!" And so Execute draws his blade and is the first one who runs through the portal, followed immediately by Yuri, and then the rest of his army forming a horde as they pass through the portal. They stop briefly once again as they enter the Mansion, but Execute breaks their spell, "DO NOT WASTE TIME HERE, THIS IS NOT OUR DESTINATION! ONWARDS!" They run through the painting room and navigate through rooms and corridors until they reach the purple portal that connected the painted world with the one Execute had originally come from. It felt like it had been so long, as he steps back into the snowy land of Denmark.
High tyrol finishes off Birdy's Bomber, forcing him to abandon it. She isn't finished yet, as she turns the plane around and swoops down upon the flightless revolutionary. (10 vs. 1) Birdy doesn't even get a chance to run, the very first bullets of the machine gun do not strike the immediate area around him, they strike him directly. In a half second he is pulverized beyond recognition.

+Article: Tres dólares de plomo: +2 Wild West Guns, +2 Horseback Riding, +Wild West Revolver, +Cowboy HatGreatness offers the Bicycle to Hawk, who accepts it and then estimates the amount of time it would take him to get to New York City; he figures it out and its a long time. He decides not to immediately bike to NYC. (+Bicycle [Damaged]) Meanwhile, Greatness scoops his dropped AR15 off the ground and looks for additional vehicles. (9) Greatness finds a not-totally destroyed RV parked on the outer perimeter of the area, what luck! The inside is barren but functional, though the vehicle lacks any starting mechanism like a key. In the meantime, his body fully regenerates to its uninjured form. [Stomach Healed]
NAV sticks to what he knows and goes for a less direct method of deadly combat. He sets about making some crude traps, (Trap Creation: 7) and makes a half a dozen tripwires using some scavenged rope material. (Guerrilla Warfare: 10+1) He litters them in frequently traveled but hard to see spots on the West side of town. At the moment, this would trip up anyone who passed by, but at the moment that's all the traps would do. If he wanted something more deadly, he'd have to get creative.
Abstract spends his first few minutes in NYC looking for a job. He gets directions from some local and heads to the New York City Mayor's Office. As he gets closer, more and more images, such as posters and billboards, of the current mayor begin cropping up, Rubi Tulianni. Abstract and Autumn park their car and go into the building, asking the front desk for work. "Lucky for you, we just had an opening position for an assistant in the Information Systems & Data Entry Department. How experienced are you? Do you have a resume?"
Person, now equipped with medical equipment, operates on his injured leg. (Medical: 4+2[Easy to Use]) With some liberal application of the gauze bandaging, Dad is able to patch up his foot and stop the bleeding. [Right Foot Healed] His ankle still needs work, but at least some of the bleeding has substituted, leaving some of the blood still pouring from his upper regions.
Elephant Parade searches his vicinity for suspicious armed figures. (3) By the edge of the road, he spots some strange looking guys holding rifles. He sneaks towards them, careful not to attract their attention...upon further inspection, they are just S.W.A.T. officers. How anticlimactic.
Where the local Art Store once stood in Denmark only a few spare paintings remained. And from this painting came a glowing purple light, from which stepped a man who had stepped through it many turns ago. He is followed by his companion, and then a general, soldiers, warriors; with each new entry back into the world the portal grew brighter. After about fifty had stepped through, the portal continued to operate as normal but its glow was so great that it cast a great purple cylinder of light into the sky, visible for miles all around. All of the other contestants would see this, even Elephant Parade who stood a good distance away. Except for the Russian Prince who was responsible for this phenomena, every this purple light would inspire dread in all Wiki-Warrior who saw it, even if they did not understand what it meant yet. The one who could not witness it, Abstract, felt a great disturbance in his body, a sudden pang of anxiety and nervousness like he was in danger.
The Sunset Invasion has begun.
There is one more arrival just in time for this new scenario, a woman of Asian descent watching the sky fill with the purple glow. In response, she pulls out her Katana, one of the many weapons she carries on her body like a walking armor. "Iz show time."
