Futuristic Resistance [IC][CLOSED]

[Doomevil]

Morgan shrugged and simply followed these people. He didn't have time to process one of their saviors being an autonomous robot. But it looks like the party wasn't over because a guy named Irons told them reinforcements were coming in hot. Well shit, Morgan thought. He sprinted towards the back of the patrol car, lifting it off to reveal various ammo boxes laying about. Morgan could only smirk, taking ammo in the 5.56 caliber to load up his M16. He patted the magazine, sliding the charging handle ready to go.

 

[Breadman]

Freddie helped himself to the abundance of ammo. He was going to need it and much much more for what he had planned.

"Here they come!" Irons called out as he raised his rifle out. A rapidly approaching aircraft was coming, and soon enough it stopped about two dozen meters away from the crash area. As it descended, its sides opened up to reveal its insides and its occupants. Three of them looked like the regular standard fare footsoldiers, but one looked quite different. It clearly was of a higher standing than the ones he was traveling with, and it became clear that is was in charge as it shouted orders out. The grunts quickly dropped down from the low-floating transport and quickly moved to cover by using the nearby abandoned cars on the highway, while the enforcer stayed in the aircraft.

Irons wasted no time in letting a few shots off at one of the grunts while Bob focused his optics and fired his grenade launcher at the transport.

"Lay some fire on these bastards! We're gonna get a ride out of here soon, just don't die!" the sergeant yelled out.

 

[EdwardDewey98]

Yvonne stared dumbfounded at the transporting aircraft, but when its occupants disembarked and began shooting at them, she simply screamed while charging towards cover. "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!" she spat, cowering behind the destroyed escort vehicle. She tried to scavenge for some sort of weapon or protection from the dead occupants, but she found nothing. Not only was she useless at the moment, she was probably acting like a complete moron as well. She tried to calm down while Bob fired back at the grunts. Maybe if they could kill one nearby, she could steal their weapon and help a bit more. But for now, she was just taking cover while looking utterly terrified.

 

[Viper Actual]

Noticing how Yvonne panicked further Jack forced her to go prone. "Stay down and wait here!" He then popped out and fired two shots at one of the grunts before transitioning to a new position behind cover.

 

[Doomevil]

Morgan wasted no time talking, he saw others getting to cover and needed to do the same as well. Morgan sprinted to any valid cover, seeing the grunts from the distance. He switched to semi-auto mode, focusing fire on one of the grunts.

 

[Breadman]

Freddie rushed to get behind cover. He pocked his head out only to shoot one of the grunts.

​

As the firefight begins, Irons sends out a few shots towards one of the grunts taking cover. Fortunately for him, the grunt decided to peek and fire as a bullet ripped through the soldier's leg. The grunt returned fire at that moment, managing to score a hit on Irons' shoulder as he retreated into cover and cried out in pain to his comrades. Bob in the meantime managed to fire off a grenade at the transport. It was a direct hit towards the rear end of the craft as it tore open a hole through it, but it wasn't enough to ground the vehicle entirely. The pilot tried to return fire at the mech with its mag-gun, only to miss as a result of the explosion destabilizing the craft. What surprised Irons however was that this weapon was even here in the first place. "Shit, they got magnetic weapons on that bird!" Irons yelled out. "Don't tip-toe with that thing!"

Back on the ground, Yvonne took cover and hunkered down as best as she could by using the destroyed prison transport, keeping herself out of the enemy's line of sight well enough that she wasn't targeted. Morgan however, scored a lucky headshot and instantly killed one of the other grunts, their lifeless corpse falling to the ground as his brains splattered all over the pavement behind him. He would soon feel a bullet rip through his shoulder however as the Enforcer in the aircraft returned fire to avenge his fallen subordinate. Jakc would attempt to fire on the grunt that had hit Irons, but his shots only connected with the car that the enemy was using for cover. Freddie and the last UEG grunt would trade fire with each other, scoring hits on one another before returning back to cover quickly. For Freddy, the bullet went clear through the side of his waist and was nothing more than a flesh wound. It was a different story for the grunt however, as the bullet had hit his ribs and shattered into his body. He didn't have long to live.

"God-fucking damnit!" Irons muttered with gritted teeth as he touched his shoulder. It looked like it went clean through, but it still hurt like hell. This only made him more angry as he peeked out to fire again at that same grunt that had hit him. Bob in the meantime chambered a new grenade into his launcher and fired again at the transport, this time aiming for where the Enforcer was holding on to at.

"I'll be there soon, just hang on!" the radio buzzed with Amy's voice.

 

[Doomevil]

Morgan fired from his iron sights, killing a grunt in the process. A headshot no less! He immediately smirked but in response one of the enforcers landed a hit on his shoulder. He groaned, holding his shoulder before he turned to the aircraft. He assisted Bob by aiming at the transport, specifically the grunt that landed a hit on him.

 

[Breadman]

He got hit, but it didn't matter. He hit harder. He could tell. Freddie popped from cover one more time to finish off his kill.

 

[Viper Actual]

Fuck, the shot didn't connect. Peeking out briefly Jack took a deep breath before popping out once more. This time he fired at the Enforcer.

 

[EdwardDewey98]

Yvonne continued to cower down. "I-is there a gun for m-me?" she said while peaking behind cover, a shot hit right next to her, she let out a shriek and hid behind cover again.

 

[joshuadim]

Irons took a quick look to see the only person who was not fighting at the moment as she asked for a weapon. Apparently, there was no ammo for her to use in her outdated weapon. Nonetheless, Irons quickly took out his pistol and threw it over to Yvonne. "Here, catch!" he yelled out "Use it to shoot these fuckers!"

Misc. Rolls
Irons tosses sidearm to Yvonne.
Roll 1d6(Result = 6; Pass. Sidearm lands near or at Yvonne)​

 

[EdwardDewey98]

Yvonne attention was caught by Irons, who tossed her a sidearm to her. Yvonnes face perked up while trying to grab it mid air, of course she failed and looked like an absolute dork. She then quickly grabbed the sidearm next to her, letting out a sigh of relief. "Oh fuck yeah! Thank you so much!" after checking the gun for a second, she come out of cover to fire at the closet enemy.

​

The firefight continued as Irons first let loose his salvo at the grunt he had exchanged fire with before, only to miss as he stayed behind cover. However, as the grunt went to return fire he was shot in the neck by Yvonne and the grunt collapsed to his feet, clutching at the bleeding in his neck before collapsing onto the ground dead. Bob and Morgan meanwhile focused on the Enforcer stationed on the transport hovering above the battle. Both would miss however as a grenade flew wide over the transport and Morgan's shots pattered uselessly against the armored hull of the craft. Both enemies would return a flurry of their own devastating salvos onto the mech, with the mag-gun scoring a few hits onto the chassis of Bob and ripping through his armor while the Enforcer scored a few hits onto his optics: damaging them, but not completely taking them out. Jack would get some revenge for Bob however as he scored a hit onto the Enforcer from his own fire, hitting the Enforcer in the waist. Freddy would get into his own duel with the last remaining grunt again, only this time Freddy got the drop on the enemy as his rounds ripped through the grunt's arm and severed it entirely in a gory explosion. The grunt could only sputter a bit from his mouth before collapsing from the shock of such an impact and lay there near death.

"Warning, heavy damage taken to chassis. Armor compromised. Optics damaged." Bob announced after taking the hits.

"Kill that transport before they call for backup!" Irons cried out as fired a few shots at the Enforcer. Bob meanwhile retracted his grenade launcher in favor of an integrated chaingun and unleashed a salvo onto the transport.

 

[EdwardDewey98]

Without doubting it for a second, Yvonne followed Irons' orders and she began to fire on the transport ship.

 

[Breadman]

Freddie could feel something good stirring in him after that kill. It was just the start of it. He quickly turned his attention to whatever else needed killing. That enforcer was going 6 feet under.

 

[Doomevil]

Morgan gritted his teeth after missing the gunner. He had better luck crashing that transport down. He fired his M16 at the transport, hoping it'll do something to it.

COMBAT FINISHED: VICTORY.
​

The group unleashed their own salvo at the transport before it was able to react. Irons managed to score a hit on the Enforcer, tearing through the enemy's shoulder and bloodying him up. He looked to be near the edge as Freddy sought the killing blow. However, his shots would miss thanks to the manueverability of the pilot in the transport as he moved around trying to get an angle on the group. Bob, Yvonne and Morgan would target the craft itself however, and since it was a big target it would prove hard to miss even when moving. Bob's chaingun tore through the craft's hull, puncturing it in many places and causing smoke to bellow out of its engines. Yvonne managed to land a shot that landed into the cockpit, but it hit more of the computers on board than it did the pilot. In the craze, the pilot swerved in panic which accidentally caused Morgan to miss his shots. Jack would not miss however as a well plasted burst shot tore into the pilot and sent the craft crashing into the ground, crushing the Enforcer on board under its weight.

"Well shit, we got 'em." Irons remarked as he walked out of cover. He looked at the crash site for a moment before picking up his radio again. "It's all clear here Amy, where the hell are you?" he asked impatiently.

"Hold your horses cowboy, I just got here." the radio replied. And soon enough, a craft appeared from over the treeline in the distance and sped its way towards the highway. Within the minute, it approached at the battle zone and began to touch down in the nearby open section of the highway, its backdoor opening invitingly. "Alright, lets get out of here." Irons spoke as he motioned for everyone to follow him. Bob disengaged his vanguard mode and retracted his weapons systems before walking after the Sergeant.

 

[joshuadim]

As the group entered the craft, Bob stayed behind and began to retract his arms and hands and folded them into his body so that he would get smaller for pickup. It would take a minute before he was ready, and Irons knew that. "Make yourselves comfortable," he said as he motioned to the seats nearby, "and make sure to strap yourselves in."

Soon enough, the door closed behind them and the craft lifted itself off before settling over Bob. A few latches on the underside of the the craft were specially made for transporting the mech to and from locations, and thus snugly fit him into place underneath.

"Latches secured. Lady and gents, strap yourselves in because we are about to go Mach 3 in 3... 2... 1..." Amy announced on the radio, giving enough time for Irons to strap himself into one of the seats. When her countdown completed, the craft suddenly accelerated with enough force to squish everyone into their seats. This acceleration would continue for a few moments before the craft was brought to a suitable cruising speed and the force went away and allowed everyone to relax.

The cockpit door opened afterwards and a lady with white hair in a pilot suit stepped out to take a look at everyone. "So... these are the new blood?" she asked Irons with a smirk before turning her attention to everyone else. "Name's Amy, I'm your go to pilot." she introduced herself to the group.

 

[Viper Actual]

Terrorist and suspected flyswatter. Jack chuckled and looked at the burning wreckage of the ship as Irons spoke over the radio. He glanced over to the others just to make sure that they were still somewhat okay. By the look of things they had all been very, very lucky. When another ship came as did the order to move. Aerial transport sounded nice though Jack would take anything to get away from the highway.

During the initial few seconds in the air Jack hardened the grip of his seat. On second thought a car would have been much better.

After the Gs settled Jack breathed easy and sighed with relief. He looked at Irons. "Don't know if I ever got around to say it: thanks. You and your robo-pal sure saved us from a lot of trouble." He glanced at Yvonne. "And pain."
When Amy stepped in he nodded but widened his eyes. "Uh, if you're the pilot then who's flying? Hell, who are you guys in the first place? No one but the collaborators pack this much gear."

 

[joshuadim]

"It's on autopilot, don't need to worry about it until we have to land." Amy replied with a chuckle. "Should only be within the next couple minutes."

Irons then spoke up: "We'll explain everything when we get to base. For now, you all should relax and take a look at your wounds." He then got up and walked over to a terminal nearby, putting on a headset of sorts. "I'm gonna radio in, let 'em know we're flying in." he said before turning a few notches and dials, searching for a signal.

Amy meanwhile pointed over to a nearby rack with a few small packets on it. "You can patch yourselves up with those kits there." she said before walking back to the cockpit and closing the door behind her.

 

[Doomevil]

Morgan sprinted there with no time to spare after taking out that transport. He buckled into his seat, getting ready to get out of dodge. That was pretty fucking close, Morgan thought. But the best thing is nobody got killed. For a couple of captives these guys weren't all that bad. Morgan slouched against the seat, breathing a load of relief. "Close call there. But I'm glad we all made it out." He commented as the people running this search and rescue are taking care of business at the moment.

 

[EdwardDewey98]

Yvonne shouted in pure joy as the enemy transport went down. "Fuck YEAH! Haha! we fucking did it guys! We did it!" she slapped Jacks back as transport ship crashed on the ground and soon after the allied craft appeared to get them out of there before they send more reinforcements. Yvonne quickly rushed inside with the others and once in the relative safety of the transport craft, she just began to cheerfully talk. "I can't believe we made it! holy shit that was sick as fuck!" She didn't look like the cowardly little lady that the others met inside the prison transport, she was now vibrant and quite happy, proud of having being of use. "We kicked some serious ASS!" hooray! you proved you are not useless! "I even killed one of them! Did you see that guys?" she seemed to unaware of Jack looking at her as he talked with the pilot lady and then she got close to Irons, handing his side arm back to him. "Thanks for the gun sir, I felt hopeless back then... uhm..." don't make this awkward please. "So okay what now? can I join you guys? ...please?"
