IC: Bleeding Edge Options

[kevyn668]

Sue swings a leg over the demon and lets out a low whistle. "Reday to ride when you are."

Sue jumps on the kickstarter and the engine roars to life. He shoots an ear to ear grin at Nick. "Nice piece o'work. Bet she con'rs like she's on rails..."

"Yeah, watch the chaindrive, its uncovered.", Nick remarks as Sue stomps down on the kickstarter.

"Don't slip or you'll lose your heel.", he says. He holds on with his left arm, and keeps the SMG ready in his right.

"HEY! Make sure to load all the guns in the truck!", Nick shouts as they speed off. With the sudden rush of acceleration, Nick suddenly wishes he had put a sissy bar on the back.

[Large Mike]

Before you even see around the corner, you spray a few shots. With pings and a near-fatal ricochet (watch that ear), you hit... nothing. There's nobody where Ricks said there would be people.

[gobogen]

Reptile starts the truck and follows Nick and Sue at a distance of about 40 feet. His trusted Predator in hand, Reptile keeps an eye around for Ricks and the group of hostile gangers.

[Large Mike]

Gunfire rakes quickly in front of Nick and Sue, and Sue very nearly loses control of the bike, wobbling dangerously. The source of the gunfire, and undetermined number of shooters on a nearby roof, then splits its attention. Some of them turn towards the truck, some staying with the bike. It takes only a moment before a reverberated 'BEGONE!" echoes through the streets like thunder, and the sound itself feels like the heat from standing to close to a campfire. Ricks and Sue become suddenly visible as a shimmer in the air reaveals the shape and location of Ricks' spirit as it collapses in on itself.

And then, it starts. Something large and *very* loud is unleashed upon the motorcycle, and one of the people on the roof sits up, pointing a rocket launcher at the truck, pausing a moment before pulling the trigger.

[Grey]

Ricks moves as quickly as he can, hoping its in time, throwing a Stunbolt as the guy with the launcher.

[kevyn668]

"WHAT THE FRAG IS GOING ON?!" Sue yells over the roar of the demon's engine. He duscks down as low as possible behind the wind shield and looks from side to side for cover or allyways.

[Fresno Bob]

Nick quickly looks up at the rooftop, and watches the missle streak out.

"OH FUCK!", he shouts, and swings the Smartgun up, then squeezes the trigger to launch a burst at the one that looks the most dangerous, excluding the one with the stunbolt flying at him.

[gobogen]

Reptile tries a dangerous maneuver with the truck to make it harder for the rocket launcher to hit.

"Shit! Is this gonna be the end?"

[Large Mike]

There's just a moment of satisfaction for the Bleeing Edge, seeing the prick with the Lasher jerk to one side and fall on his ass like a stone, before the rocket hits.

The hit is on the front part of the trailer, and the missile very nearly went between truck and trailer, but not quite. A giant boom echos through the streets as a plume of fire 40 feet high erupts from the scene. THe shockwave sends everyone away from the explosion as violently as possible, and bloody chunks rain from various body-parts of entire innocent victims among the Bleeding Edge.

[Fresno Bob]

Nick looks back at the truck, as it explodes, disregarding the pieces of metal that slide off his jacket.

"OH, SHIT! REPTILE!!!", he shouts.

[kevyn668]

"OH SHIT!! Hold on! We're going back for 'em!!"

Sue turns the bike around and back to truck to look for survivors.

[gobogen]

Reptile throws himself out of the truck only a split second before the impact of the missile. You see him flying up in the air during the huge explosion. He lands heavily on the street and doesn't move at first. You see that his back is nothing but blood and burnt skin. As Edgers check if he's still alive, they realize that even in this desperate situation, the old ork ganger wants to take revenge on his ennemies. Reptile gets on his knees with great difficulty and tries to reach for his dear AK-97, with fury in his eyes, yet control and care in his movements.

[Fresno Bob]

Nick jumps off the bike and lands hard on his knee, very nearly collapsing from the pain.

"Fuck...I'm gonna have to replace that leg...and it was my favorite one, too...", he thinks to himself.

He drops the smartgun and takes the SPAS-22 off his back. He begins scanning the rooftops with it, and comes to stand next to Reptile.

"Hey, man...fuckin' oath, you're alive. Shit, you need help.", he observes. Nick reaches down and hands the ork his Assault Rifle.

"There you go, mate...Fuck, how'll we get out of here? We lost our wheels...I think this is gonna go from Worse to Fucked."

[Grey]

Ricks eyes go red as he seeks the rooftops for a new victim. His lips crawl back into a wicked looking snarl.

[kevyn668]

Sue hops off the hog and crouch-runs over to Reptile. He shouts to be heard over the gunfire and burning truck, "Hey, Old Man, you still in this?!"

Sue helps prop the ork up and turns to Nick. "Boss-man, we gotta git back in this cluster fuck!" He brings up the spaz and unfolds the stock. "Pick a building and lets go kick some fuckin' ass!!"

He ducks to avoid the still falling truck bits and shouts, "And for FUCK'S SAKE, SOMEONE GIT ON TH' DAMN HORN TO MICKEY AND RUSSEL UP SOME GODDAM REINFORCEMENTS!!"

[Fresno Bob]

Nick hands a Trauma patch to Reptile, and says to him "Here, use this if you need it." He looks at Sue.

"Fucking straight we need to kick some ass!", he shouts back to Sue, leaning behind the truck, to prevent from getting shot. He picks up the Smartgun again, and slings it over his back, next to his M-23.

"We'll go into that building, and get behind them!", he shouts to Sue. "Reptile, keep 'em busy, but don't risk anything!"

"And you're right about Reinforcements.", he shouts, pulling out his cellphone. He dials up Mickey.

"Mickey! It's a fucking warzone, send guns and guys with them now! Kake's truck exploded, there's a shitload of bodies over here! We're on <position>!"

[Digital Heroin]

Explosion. Emtpy ambush site. Yelling.

Blitz's mind is indexing things in eerie clarity as all the madness goes down. The enemy isn't where they should be. They've taken to the rooftop. Where do you go when you're enemy is above you? You go up.

The trog looks for the nearest door to shoulder open, and seek out a set of stairs.

[gobogen]

"I'll keep them busy, boss, I'll keep them busy!"

"Here take these grenades, it might be useful." (Reptile hands Nick 2 offensive and 2 defensive grenades)

Reptile, with blood in his eyes (quite a lot of it, really) starts shooting at the roof, aiming for the very top part of the building, so to destroy what gives cover to the bastards who shot him with a rocket launcher, and to scare them so that they don't shoot him. His AK-97, as an extension of Reptile's rage, is set in full auto, spraying destruction to the building as well as to anyone who would dare peak out of cover.

[Grey]

Ricks throws his arms up and a wind rushes through the area as he summons another Wind Spirit to his aid.

[Large Mike]

Reptiles' machine rattles and spits burning hot lead, degrading the wall first a little, and then alot, like some kind of acid eating away at the structure. One of the bullets clips someone in the shoulder, who yelps in pain and spasms in such a way that his neck goes immediatly into the line of fire. Everyone else stays down as much as possible, waiting for the hail to end.

Blitz kicks in a door with no effort, leaving only broken, rotting chunks of wood on ill-fit hinges. The building was not built with a troll in mind, being a little small for even a human, but what can you really expect, eh? There are no stairs, but it becomes quickly obvious that a hole in the roof above the counter of yet another kitchenette was their mode of egress onto the roof.

[gobogen]

Seeing his chance at taking revenge, Reptile immediately shoots at the only visible target, not caring that he's hurt already. Still enraged, he starts yelling his anger while changing the clip in his assault rifle.

"TAKE THIS, BASTARD!! AND ALL OF YOU COWARDS SHOULD COME OUT HERE, YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE REPTILE HAS FOR YOU!!"

[Digital Heroin]

Blitz doesn't even bother with using his hands in getting up into the hole, he spimply takes a running go at it, steps up onto the kitchenette counter, and leaps up through the hole. If there's anyone in the area above, they're going to wish they were in the path of the gunfire aimed at the roof.

[Fresno Bob]

Nick takes the grenade. That...might be useful. Now, granted, he didn't have a very good arm, but the possibilities...That Lasher would be fun, too, but aside from the basic instructions stenciled onto the side, he has no idea what to do with it. He'd just go with the grenade. He takes one of the Offensive grenades, and goes to about 15 meters away from the rooftop, yanks out the pin with a smile, and lobs it up.

"BLITZ, DON'T GO UP!", he shouts shortly after the toss.
