[QUOTE=Damian0358;48458272]Dwan continued to fire with the top turret, aiming at any close-by Crimson Sons.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[4]: Dwan kept firing at any Crimson Son nearby, he continued to miss completely.
[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;48458287]Advancing with Iska, Yanim remembered her previous fights and put all notions of trickery behind her. The Crimson Son were fast and deadly, and they wouldn't fall for dumb tricks. She grabbed hold of the LMG just as Iska had asked her to, using the claw of her tail to aim it, while looking down the optics package of the YSV-82. She sighted the cloaked figures via their footprints in the snow and guided the LMG toward the target until it was in effective range.
"Fire, Sekadera, fire!"[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[6]: Yanim unleashed quick rounds at the cloaked figure up front, disrupting its cloaking device as Dirge was revealed. Dirge dusted himself off as he gestured both, pulling out a small cube. The cube landed, transforming into a large vicious monster. The monster roared at the top of its lungs, charging at them. Dirge pulled out his head induced whip. Saint Tussor attempted to one shot Dirge while he wasn't looking, Dirge noticed this and whipped the man's gun away. Saint Tussor narrowed his eyes and charged, pulling out a knife. Dirge walked forward and used his whip, encasing the mutant's neck as the smell of burning flesh made him scream. Dirge pulled the whip out, and placed the finishing blow to the man, planting his face to the snow.

Mini Roll[8]
Varn opened the hatch and took a quick aim at the closest man that fired at the black vessel. Zane noticed the pot shots and quickly changed to acid mode, corroding the SDF tank's hull.
[QUOTE=Deathgrunt;48458368]
The Talon weapon system turned green as the fighter unleash an concentrated and accurate salvo of plasma lasers at the large Crimson son member that managed to murder one of the crew in a cold blood.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[highlight][9][/highlight]: Viper maneuvered all the way so he can finish off the man that killed Zarbon in cold blood. He fired a concentrated firepower at Sertum when spotted. The devastating power of the Talon engulfed the area with smoke, surely killing the man. The smoke quickly faded however as Sertum came out with a tattered cloak. Whoever this man was, he wasn't human if he were to come out unscathed like that.
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;48458456]Lion looked at the proximity alarm which activated as someone clamped onto the ship. "Oh no you don't." He pressed a button which encased the entire ship in a shockwave shield meant to remove any foreign objects or people on the exterior.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[5]: Lion ensured no object or person could climb on top of this vessel however, Mariahlus begged to differ, encasing herself with a strange purple aura that prevented the shockwave to work as it should.
Mariahlus spotted a small spot at the side, figuring out a great idea she charged her fist as a purple aura surrounded it, penetrating the hull as she inserted a small device. She got off the vessel, using her thrusters to balance herself as she activated it. The small explosive interrupted the ship's operations, descending down.
[editline]14th August 2015[/editline]
Jeremy looked all around him, this skirmish was not going well for them at all. "You have got to be shitting me." He took a deep breath.
"You fuck right off!" Varn switched to automatic mode on the Boom box and started filling Zane with plasma.
Sledge had grabbed his four hammers and loaded Hercules with his barding. He grabbed his hover bike and revved it loudly (or as best he could) before speeding off into the battle with Hercules running at his side.
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcPPgqT3VfU[/media]
They were fighting against those cloaked bastards again. Sledge had come prepared however, as he had brought the same thing that had saved his ass the last time hammering wasn't an option: FLOUR. He'd loaded the entire ship's supply onto the bike. He figured that if he could coat some of these invisible jerks in the stuff they might be visible enough for a pounding and/or a solid shot from Hercules' cannons.
He saw what appeared to be some some sort of invisible jiggery-pokery nearby so he spun his bike around and hucked a few bags of flour at the spot. (( roll ))
Hercules followed, braving the cold like it was nothing, being below freezing himself.
Both were ready to unleash hell on whoever might appear.
Iska looked up at the hideous creature that had appeared.
"Yanim deal with little man, Iska deal with monster" she said while activating the plasma beam. This time Iska was prepared for the massive recoil and had also equipped her goggles to prevent her from getting flashed. When fully charged she shot it at the monster.
Like last time it made an unearthly sound while illuminating the surroundings. The beam travelled towards the beast.
Viper simply shrugged at the wild card's response, uncaringly as about their survival as the crew was beginning to lose members left and right to this highly trained killers, each flat line flashed and ringed in Viper's implant as they loss their lives to these brutal and efficient eitles.
However, the Sanghvi pressed on as it's inter anger grew within it's mind and not just for them. This could have all been avoided, but these emotions were repressed as the Sanghvi an moment of opportunity arises as one of elites drops from the unknown with it seemly losing altitude rapidly.
The Talon line up on an interception course with this Crimson Son used she used her boosters to lower it's descent, Viper fired the an wave HEDP missiles at the her. Setting them to detonate before hitting her in hopes of forming an unescaping fireball around her. ( Action )
(guys, I'm sorry that I've been falling behind so much, I can take a break if you want.)
"Fukcing motherfucker!" Yelled Lion as an explosive shook the ship.
Despite the ship descending, Lion managed to reengage the thrusters, taking them up to the skies. "Give them hell Dwan!"
"Alright, Big Cat!", Dwan said as he proceeded to fire with the top turret once more.
[QUOTE=kilerabv;48458709]"You fuck right off!" Varn switched to automatic mode on the Boom box and started filling Zane with plasma.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll Critical Failure[highlight][1][/highlight]: Varn unloaded several salvos at Zane, even at close up this man wasn't taking it. He shrugged it off with a purple aura like some invisible machine of death. Zane ignored this as he saw others firing at him. Zane unleashed wave after wave of enhanced corrosion towards the men, they screamed as their entire bodies melted into goo, liquified forever. "You should have stayed away." Zane muttered.
[QUOTE=Bathacker;48458723]He saw what appeared to be some some sort of invisible jiggery-pokery nearby so he spun his bike around and hucked a few bags of flour at the spot. (( roll )[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[8]: Sledge threw extra bags of flour and waited for someone to take the bait.
[highlight][NEGATED][/highlight]
Folter however, wasn't falling for it. He decloaked himself and tackled him while he was riding his hover bike, knocking him off. Folter tilted his head and pierced through Sledge's armor using his unique claw.
"You are very naive." Folter mocked him, he headbutted him, cracking his skull into submission and cloaked back.

Mini Roll Critical Success[highlight][10][/highlight]: The monster pounded its fists as challenged charging head on as the beam produced a chaotic effect. The smoke and blast pissed the creature of absurd strength as it ran through the smoke, giving the best punch it could muster, knocking her out with fierce strength 10 ft away. The creature pounded on its chest.

Mini Roll Critical Success[highlight][9][/highlight]: Viper had enough of this nonsense, he unleashed a fiery load of missile coming at the woman who managed take on a ship on her own.
[highlight][NEGATED][/highlight]
Mariahlus caught wind of the incoming missiles, she lowered her attitude close to the building in front of her as she landed. The missiles came at her as she sprinted in a circle. The missile were gaining up on her, yet, another idea came by.
[QUOTE=Damian0358;48459069]"Alright, Big Cat!", Dwan said as he proceeded to fire with the top turret once more.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[2]: Mariahlus saw the black vessel shoot at her once again. Her plan was once at ease, the missiles came at her way. She activated her thrusters once again as the missiles chased her, she saw the Ranger right away and made sure those missiles would target them rather than her. She flew below the Ranger, hearing the explosions collide with the Ranger.
...
Jeremy and Kira fired away using up all their ammo into Sertum, he moved slowly as he swiped his sword towards Jeremy. Kira widened her eyes and tackled Jeremy to safety, seeing his Hawk slashed like cottage cheese. "JEREMY LEAVE!" Kira said as she lobbed a grenade at Sertum, throwing from afar. A wide explosion engulfed Sertum with flames bright as the sun yet this bastard still wasn't budging. Jeremy pulled out a laser dagger from his pouch, extending to that of a sword. "You leave! I won't let you die." Jeremy declared as he faced Sertum. He charged at him and parried. Sertum had the upper strength advantage. Jeremy kicked his shins yet received a groan of pain as backfire. Sertum spotted a vulnerable area at Jeremy, he punched through using his fist, denting the armor like a soda can. Jeremy literally felt the bones in his chest break into halves, barely catching his breath as he flew 5 feet away. He saw his surroundings as his men die by these five Auditors. Kira kept a concentrated fire support at Sertum yet kept on going. Sertum grabbed Kira aside and threw her across the snow. Sertum stared at the Captain as he got up.
Jeremy, out of breath charged at Sertum, Sertum whacked him sideways, Jeremy was bleeding badly. Kira struggled to pull herself up as she watched. "JEREMY STOP!" Kira screamed. Jeremy pulled out a handgun, shooting a few times at Sertum, yet nothing. Sertum moved forward, grabbing Jeremy by the neck and performed something no one would expect.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6Odu44wYk4[/media]
Jeremy widened his eyes, a slight pain made him want to groan throughout the clear sky but he didn’t. His voice wanted to shout out but he didn’t. He felt the grasp tightened on his shoulders. He saw Sertum in front of his view, staring at him with no emotion to tell from that helmet of his. Jeremy could feel drips of liquid coming from the edge of his mouth, he knew what it was.
Sertum stood as he held the grip on his sword, tilting his head as he saw Jeremy’s face turning pale. Events all around them went slow, as if time has stopped dramatically. Jeremy coughed but Sertum kept the sword activated. Jeremy struggled to move a muscle, as if the sword caused him to shut down all things inside his body. The essential ones too have gone over the limit.
Jeremy, using all the force he could muster, reached out to Sertum, grabbing him by the neck. Jeremy took a close look at his motion realizing the true aspect of this man. “What exactly do you gain from this?” Jeremy gave him the magic words. Sertum turned to him, “I do not gain anything from killing. It is a task, not for pleasure.” Sertum explained. His reasons were hollow, monotone yet he’s speaking his reasons. Jeremy bit his lips as the pain overwhelmed him. The pain was all that he could worry about aside from Sertum. Was he… going to die like this? His plans after this mission were abundant and if he were to go somewhere else then all would be rendered void.
“You are very wise, for a criminal.” Jeremy admitted, holding his chest tightly as he felt weakness growing. “Regardless whether or not I am a criminal, I will uphold the Richter’s wishes along with my comrades. Those that oppose them will die.” Sertum stated. It was a fact he would promise the Archius if they would advance to their goals. It is a sad truth. Jeremy coughed, looking down on the fatal wound spreading.
“I guess that makes us both. We will protect the ones we love, no matter what. The Oracle, this Richter won’t have it on our watch.” Jeremy promised him, his knees started to tremble, his heart was slowing down as he faced Sertum. He remembered Kira, the fact she tried to protect him from harm was very noble of her. She realized the stakes were high and he couldn’t blame her for it. She was special. Jeremy admitted that he was too blind to see what would become of him, blinded by rage after the deaths of Dwan and Lion. He wished he would have thought rationally. He failed as a Captain. He gritted his teeth. He held back tears as his friends needed him to operate but he couldn’t no longer. His mistakes have led to this point. He wizened his eyes.
“Do you have family?” Jeremy asked him.
“I do not.”
“Then do you know what it feels like when you’re gone and the people around you will still fight on just for you?”
“That is called Loyalty.” Sertum answered. Jeremy narrowed his eyes and chuckled, he wanted to at least give Kira a hard goodbye, she fought for him and he fought for her. His friends have bonded with him and he will live on as a result. He finally curved his mouth, setting up a smile.
“I’m glad you understand.” He closed his eyes the blade deactivating as his body fell to the ground. Kira stared. One of the greatest people was gone.
[So wait, Iska rolled a 10 but go majorly fucked? :v:]
[Get into group chat everyone. Let's talk about what just happened.]
Despite taking another hit, Lion refused to let the ship crash. He quickly stabilized the gunship and let loose another salvo of rockets and kinetic shots at the female Crimson Son operative.
Just as he was about to scan for new targets, Lion spotted Jeremy being held up by a large figure in dark clothes.
Suddenly Jeremy fell to the ground.
“Motherfucker.“
[Im out and about so I cant get into the chat]
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;48459348]Despite taking another hit, Lion refused to let the ship crash. He quickly stabilized the gunship and let loose another salvo of rockets and kinetic shots at the female Crimson Son operative.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[6]: Lion refused to give up on this hunt, he paid life and limb to get to the end and he was going. He released a set of salvos and rockets, combining a blast she didn't seeing coming. She braced herself as she knocked back, attempting to escape.
Dwan follows Lion's course of actions and fires at the female.
Viper was frozen in horror of Jeremy's death though his eyes, the Implant flashed repeatedly as his vitals fated out. his last moments at the hands of this Crimson Son bastard were going to be left unpunished, The Talon dive down and released a cloud of smoke and activated the comm systems.
Viper took an moment to breath before speaking over the Archius's private comms. "All Archius's personnel, This commander officer Viper, Captain Spacehawk has fallen, I repeat Jeremy Spacehawk is dead. By chain of command I order all crewmen outside of the Archius's to retreat into the hanger and prep for emergency take off."
Viper took another moment before opening the public comms. 'You haven't won this yet." Viper said before turning the Talon the Crimson Son leader who taken Jeremy's life, firing everything the Talon's weapon systems could bare. HEDP missiles, plasma lasers and depleted uranium slugs at him.
The captain's death shocked Varn to his very core. He could feel the rage take hold. Gabriel started flashing warning sighns on his HUD.
WARNING! Adrenaline levels, rising! Risk of balance loss 100%.WARNING!
His vision was cloudy. The only thing he could see was the cloacked bastard turning his back on him. Big mistake. He took a few shots at him, while he was being distracted by that, Varn charged him, blades drawn.

Mini Roll[3]: Using the top gun, Dwan engaged the enemy as best as he could. Mariahlus wasn't going to get away easily. Mariahlus lobbed a grenade at them, blinding them for a short second.

Mini Roll[8]: The Talon was capable on tearing a person to pieces, sometimes the combined firepower does make a difference. Sertum stared at Viper as he unleashed everything he had to offer in his arsenal. Sertum struggled to get out of this line of fire, feeling the intense blast throw him out of the area. He grasped as he took a close surrounding. He clenched his hand into a fist.
He heard a beep coming within his HUD.

Mini Roll Critical Success![highlight][10][/highlight]: He had to admit, the death of his own Captain broke him, but that only made him stronger within. He got out of the tank and pulled out a grenade, he throwing it at Zane dealing as he dealt with other men, shooting him at the back where his tank belonged. The explosion caused a fission. Zane had just lost his personal weapon, not to mention some minor damage at the back area. Varn charged him with his blades, he swiped close to the center but he realized a vulnerable area, his back. Varn rolled to the side just as Zane attempted to whack him. Varn jabbed his two blades right where his back supply once was. Zane kneeled. "Sertum, the operations must be complete by now. There's no reason why we continue to fight." Zane insisted
Sertum looked around hearing Zane. He nodded. "Perhaps so, then we've done what we've could." Sertum said albeit scratched up.
Getting up from the knock down, scrambled to get her weapon.
Having no time to reload, Iska activated the plasma blade from the barrel of the gun, effectively making it a sort of axe.
With shield raised she again turned her attention to the creature.
From the corner she could see Jeremy fall lifeless to the ground.
"[You motherfuckers!]" she spat. But Iskas rage was interrupted by a wave of fear when she felt the blood curse taking hold of her. She shook her head, she couldn't faze out now. Her captain had just fallen and now she needed to be stronger for him, or his death would be in vain.
Shield raised and her rifleaxe in a tight grip, waiting for the creature to make a move so she could counter-attack.
Lion saw how his target attempted to escape. Priming several cluster warheads, Lion send enough ordnance to turn the surrounding area into ash.
Dwan continued firing from the top turret.
-nvm-
:snip:
All Auditors immediately cloaked out, realizing their duties were done for now. They got what they've wanted from them. Sertum activated a signal to all other Auditors. Ensuring they will get the message. The Auditors have scattered before the Archius could have done anything else. The Crew had a feeling they will meet again, but they will surely be ready for Round 2 if that ever comes.
[video=youtube;L87f_BcOQts]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L87f_BcOQts[/video]
As the Crimson Son elites vanished from the eye, so did their Signatures and like that they were gone but deeds were in clear sight of the rest of crew, their victims didn't flash into the shadows, Their shattered bodies were still warm as the skies begin to turn dark and rain begin to flow upon them.
The Talon's cockpit went quiet, no more flashs form it's hud and sounds of the weapon's locking on but the sense of dread filled the air within the small area that Viper observed who was left after the whole bloody ordeal.
The Sanghvi inside begin to decreased attitude and let the weapon systems cool and reload as the Talon extracted it's landing gear.
Viper landed the Talon next to where the Captain spent his final moments, regret and sadness was beginning to fill the Sanghvi's mind but Viper needed to carry on and push forward even in an seemly hopeless scenario such as this one.
Viper disconnected the link and open the Talon cockpit wide open. Jeremy's body was relatively unscathed with his eyes closed, the surrounding blasts and fire exchanges seemly missed his corpse.
The Sanghvi felt a strong feeling of disguised and anger growing not just for the Crimson Son but for Harken Saw. What was his ulterior motives? His endgame? Viper felt that it had been extremely lax it's questions and instead following blindly like some gun happily merc or a poor dog ready to catch an stick thrown into the freeway by his owner, eager to complete his master's wish and bisk to it's own imminent demise.
And what has the purpose of it all? First the death of Riker. Then Lion and Dwan, Now Lezado, Tussor and above all, Jeremy. Viper thought as it Kneeled down and stared at corpse of it's commander officer, closing his eyes and saluting him one last time.
After a moment of scanning Jeremy lifeless body to set it's mind to rest and fully confirmed his death, Viper went over to crewmembers who had given the ultimate sacrifice for the rest of crew and secure their remains until the medical team could bring out the bodybags.
The Ranger calmly touched down a few meters from the Talon. With a deep sigh the rear door opened up and fell to the ground.
As Dwan slid down the turret Lion tapped his shoulder. "Looks like we have some explaining to do now." He looked towards the door and back at Dwan. "Take your time." He said before walking out through the door.
With his grey poncho covering most of his body and face, Lion approached the fallen captain who was currently watched over by Viper.
Despite lacking any major features to transmit strong emotions, Lion could tell that the sanghvi was as shaken as he was.
As Lion walked up, he kneeled down next to the still warm body and closed Jeremy's eyes. "You didn't deserve to go out like this, friend."
With his identity still concealed, Lion rose up and observed the mess in its whole. "Not even Mars looked this tragic after the war was over."
The Auditor had slipped right from his grasp. Without a foe to focus his anger on, Varn began to yell and bang on the tank's hull like a wild animal. The AI kicked in the armor's injectors and began injecting sedatives to calm him down.
After a few minutes he had calmed down, but there was still anger smoldering in him. He wanted revenge.
Viper let out a slight shrug after the wild card said his thoughts on the matter behind the Kneeled down Sanghvi, his heavily distorted synthetic voice felt oddly familiar to Viper but only managed to stir it's repressed emotions further.
The slowly turned to face this mysterious figure, clearly disturbed as it rose up and stood above this intruder. The Sanghvi could only had so much in one day, the death of its comrades had struck a few cords, falling not just everyone onboard but falling it's promise to Lion.
"You have one chance, identify yourself. Synth." Viper said with cold tone in its implant's voicizer, claws ready to strike in a moment's notice as it leaned over this Synth biped and stood frozen in an intimidating stance towards it.
Lion slowly pulled down the poncho hood, revealing his familiar robotic face. The only difference was the black faceplate which had replaced the original white one.
"It's good to see you too, Viper." Lion said with his normal voice.
The fighting had subsided and three more Archius crewmembers were dead. Everyone had done their best and placed full faith in themselves and their captain, only to be laughed at by fate. Her professional composure, trust in what was right, and confidence that she had chosen the correct path in life, measures which had taken the entire mission to achieve, were being erased.
A spell of freezing rain began to fall. The captain was dead. The crew was utterly defeated; the Auditors knew it and chose to leave them broken and demoralized rather than killing them off. [I]They were a waste of effort.[/I] No amount of bravery, intelligence, or creativity could avert what had happened. Yanim had survived another encounter with death, and this time it had taken away hope. Yanim pressed a button on her tablet to summon her ATD, while simultaneously, her goggles darkened to pitch in response to her natural urge to hide her eyes.
The mysterious ship that had assisted them during the fighting touched down nearby. She stood motionless near the ramp into the hangar bay as the others confronted the figure that emerged. He removed his hood-
It was Lion. Why was he alive!? The last time anyone had seen of him, he had departed to defuse the bomb on Hanza. Yanim's ATD, with Skada aboard, glided down the ramp with a whine. She climbed aboard immediately and rode directly to the landing craft. Her anger had suddenly returned to her at the sight of Lion's face, unlike the other crewmembers. "Zhuka, zhuka, zhuka! Ahka!" As her bike stopped roughly, she pulled her rifle around from around her back at a distance of about ten meters.
"[What is this!? You aren't real!]" her words were failing her as her hands trembled, finger on the trigger. "[Lion died. You're an imposter. You must be, dammit!]"
