Still bleeding out on the roof of the Navi Starmobile, a soft whine leaves the Houndoom's snout as she grits her sharp teeth, still watching the chase unfold before her. Before continuing with the attack, she barks a command at Registeel, who grabs the spray bottle of Potion and spritzes it over her body. Immediately, and with a slight sting, the gunshot wound through her abdomen begins to close and the only blood continuing to drip down is remnants of an injury now passed. Revitalized, the Houndoom barks her next command, knowing that if the plane continues firing, it could spell disaster. The Navi Starmobile begins pulling into range, before spinning wildly into a barrage of steel in a Spin Out to try and ram the safari truck off the road, while also ensuring the plane-flyer has as poor a shot as possible. [6 v 7] But Jason Portman's hapless driver, one who should surely be paid more for his efforts, manages to avoid the steel maelstrom
just barely enough to keep his speed and balance in check. "
Can't catch me!" Jason Portman brags with a smirk as he looks back, only to yelp and look back forward as he remembers that the backseats are nothing more than a raging inferno now. Growling, Houndoom opens her mouth as the Starmobile steadies, and unleashes a blast of glorious flame! [3 v 5] The stream of fire burns across the air, but barely misses just behind the truck, with the momentum sending the flames backwards into the desert. Growling in frustration, she passes a nod to Registeel, who lets loose a series of beeps before
bookin' it across the length of the Navi Starmobile's roof towards the truck. [10 v 9] Leaping up into the air, Registeel begins to hurtle down to the truck with a Heavy Slam, with it's full weight going towards the passenger side of the truck. It slams against the roof, caving it just slightly enough to ring Jason's bell and make him shout in pain, before leaping back to the "battle position." Bleeding from the top of his head, Jason gasps out in pain and clutches his skull.
Beryl Brushmouse scowls, staring down at the truck as the Steel-Type Registeel slams against the car with the weight of 451 lbs of energy. It was clearly not enough to kill, judging by the lack of fanfare and power boost, but he can clearly stands no more. "
Fine! No more Mr. Nice Rodent!" he shouts out, setting the Garand down by his feet before
yanking the controls downward. "
Look out below!" His course adjusted, dangerously, straight towards the vehicle. [8 v 9] Just in the nick of time, Beryl pulls a conveniently placed lever marked "Ejection Seat" and is thrust out of the plane as it crashes, nose-first, just
barely off center. A fireball erupts in the road, putting the chasing Pokemon in danger, while shrapnel pops one of the tires of the safari truck. [Stability: 3-1 (Three Tires)] Finally, the driver is unable to keep his car steady, as he runs aground of the sand and is forced to a stop. [3 v 2-1 (2x Weakness to Fire)] The fireball burns through the Navi Starmobile as it drives straight through, damaging the Steel/Poison-type Revavroom as it stops to a crawl. It's not burned too badly, but it's tongue lolls out of the engine, clearly burnt and a little exhausted. Coming out of the sky, Beryl floats down in a black and white parachute, likely too small for his weight or for it's effectiveness, and snickers.
A severe laceration through his chest causes William Moran to stumble back against the cave wall in a daze, with a droplet of blood slowly oozing out of the corner of his mouth. "
What was that old bastard's motto?" he asks himself, shakily brass-checking his P90 as he prepares for another offensive. "
Right...Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity. Get ready, Agencourt." His subordinate agent nods, herself looking worse for wear, with her arm still broken. With a final, unspoken nod, the pair raise their weapons and ready to attack. For him, three rounds rapid to the android, and a volley to the Ninja. [7-2 (Concussion) v 10+2 (Metal Body)] [9 v 8+2 (Metal Body)] The pair sweep across the wall and fire four bullets in total at Chitti, still sitting still due to his broken legs. And yet, the three-round volley of the PDW and the bullet from the Glock do nothing to penetrate his metal endoskeleton. In fact, one bullet ricochets back towards them [8 v 2] and strikes Agencourt square in the chest. With a gurgle, she collapses back behind the wall, bleeding out of her mouth and a sizeable hole in her chest. Chitti laughs, and swimming in his daze and anger, he turns the barrel of the P90 to Rinji. [1-2 (Concussion) v 1]
*click* Confused, William turns his P90 upside down to check the ejection port, to find a casing having failed to clear the bolt and remaining lodged against the frame. A jam. With a growl of frustration, he ducks back behind the wall and holds back the bolt, before grabbing the jacket and throwing it aside. Looking down, he sees Agencourt bleeding out heavily, her white shirt being stained around lung-level.
Encouraged by his success in spiritualism, and feeling far better with the replacement ribs firmly in place, Josef Szombathy rises to his feet in the crevice with a jovial smile on his face. He had communed with the specter of but one soldier; there may yet be many more! With a new goal in check, he lands back on his hands and knees and crawls back through the crawlspace, arriving in the wider network once more. Surrounded yet again by stone-upon-stone, Josef stands up and raises his hands, speaking in German an incantation to try and commune with the lost souls of the chasm. [Channeling: 5] Once again, a cold wind passes across the back of his neck, but answers themselves are less forthcoming. Rather, Josef feels inexplicably drawn deeper in, and steps towards the cave system. As he gets deeper and deeper in, light begins to surround the archeologist, and yet no sunlight can be seen. He looks up to see yellow fruit, glowing brightly and growing on vines, and then looks back down to see a beautiful lake stretching from just a few inches in front of him to another section of the cave. Moving down to his knees, he raises his hands again and chants to the spirits once more. [Channeling: 9] The water begins to vibrate unnaturally, droplets remaining still in the air as waves crash through the lake. Emerging from the timeless river comes the white, shimmering visage of a man with white hair, now hovering over Josef Szombathy. "
Oh großer Geist!" he calls. "
Ich bitte Sie um einen Gefallen! These mavericks of the mind, these Wiki-Warriors seek to dishonor your sacrifices at your battleground by standing atop your graves with powers higher than Gods! I beseech you, use your powers as wraiths and erase them from your final resting place!" [Persuasion: 8] The nameless spirit says nothing, but raises his hand up to the sky before clenching it into a fist. Suddenly, white hands burst from the water, followed by a veritable horde of spirits; a spectral army rises from the deep, looming over Josef with stony faces and weapons glowing white. "
Till vapen!" the apparent leader shouts, before aggressively pointing forward down the cave. "
Seger eller utplåning!" The Ghost Army then floats forward quickly towards the original entrance, leaving Josef underneath the Glow Berries.
Despite the schadenfreude of having witnessed the failure of the Agents' latest assault, Rinji cannot celebrate it for long given the state he's in. "
Damn lucky shot..," he mutters, stumbling back to his feet. A bullet is now lodged in his gut, spilling his life-essence on the floor of the stone cavern, and his fists clench as he tries to fight through the pain for a retreat. "
Chitti...they seem distracted enough, but give them a little something to tide over...we gotta go," he slowly speaks, a bit of husk entering his voice as he gives the order. Chitti smirks as Rinji starts down the cave, before raising his hands up, hoping to give the wounded operatives a little bit of a start. [10 v 3] With an electromagnetic pull, Chitti rips the P90 and Glock away from the Agents' hands, and flings them away from their cover, around the corner and into the open. Clattering on the ground, Rinji and Chitti watch them for a bit before the Android begins to crawl off after his Ninja ally. "
Good job," Rinji compliments, taking hold of one of Chitti's arms and helping to drag him away. As they step into the Cavern, they pass by a crawlspace, but pay it little mind as they walk. [Spot: 6] Suddenly, they hear what sounds like...faint chanting? From in front of them comes a strange energy, accompanied by an angry, wailing chant. [Stealth: 8 v 5] "
Not good," Rinji says, before kneeling down and heading backwards into the crawlspace, dragging Chitti in with him. Once inside, surrounded by stalagmites and -tites, Rinji stays still and quiet, clutching at his wound and waiting with bated breath for the energy to pass.
Before he had a chance to do anything, that foolish animated
rat crashed his plane behind Maximilien Ringlemann and sent Jason Portman's car tumbling to a stop right on the side of the road. At first, his plan was to run Portman over with his own car, but since the situation has changed so thoroughly by now anyway, he decides to hoof it. With a poise in his step, he stops the car and exits it, gathering a smoke cloud in his hand. The engine in the safari truck rattles to a stop, and in that moment, Maximilien hurls the smoke bomb at the vehicle. The area around the truck is coated in a thick, black smog, near-impossible to see through. Maximilien draws his sword and squints his eyes, waiting patiently for Jason Portman to make a move. He chances a gaze towards the Pokemon, stopped still a ways away and worried about their vehicle-friend. Finally, Jason Portman runs out, blood pouring between his eyes, fumbling with his handgun as he runs away. With focused footfalls, Max starts walking after Jason, who yells back at him "
Stay away! I'm armed! I can make you disappear, I know people! You'll never get away with this!" There's a tremble in his voice. [4 v 3] Max raises his sword, ready to deliver a brutal slash to the billionaire, but suddenly feels a dull thud into his side. Stepping back, Max feels at his side, realizing quickly that he simply got kicked there by the Bodyguard. Pistol at the ready, he shouts to his charge "
Get outta here, Portman! These freakbags are mine!" Jason doesn't think twice, sprinting away with a yelp as the Bodyguard holds Max at gunpoint. Max, unfazed, steps forward to attempt a vertical slice [3 v 7] but swings too wide, allowing the Bodyguard to dodge. He grabs his shield just as the Bodyguard fires [9 v 1+2 (Shield)] with the bullet passing right through, and lodging itself in Max's forearm. Gritting his teeth, he glares at the Bodyguard, who sneers back at the dastardly Wiki-Warrior.
BSN:
There we go!
Took me all week, my apologies. I worked on it off and on since the last action, and I hope that paid off. Very eventful turn!
While this game is continuing for as long as it can (and as long as I want it to), I have also started a version of this game on SpaceBattles, so if you like Wiki-Warfare and are also on that site, check it out! After this goes live, I'll be doing the Zeroth Round for the First Match! Two updates in one night? That's Adderall, baby.
Also: sorry for getting your turn slightly wrong, Megam0nkey. I was so in the zone that I forgot you specified staying in the car. I added a little justification as to why you left it, hope that makes up for it.
