An Afro Kid in Danger? Let's fight giant robots and move inside the Egg Carrier!

[thats_nogood]

Ahh, the Egg Carrier. Pride of the Eggman fleet, this large vehicle has been floating in SBG's air as long as Robotnik himself has been here. But now it's been overtake by one Metal Hedgehog and now someone needs to be rescued and saved

HAWKE TEAM ASSEMBLEEEE

[black_hawke]

((OOC: For the sake of moving things along, I am just going to say they already met and talked and generally game-planned. They borrowed a plane from Orange Star (with Jake's permission) and now they are ON THEIR WAY. Please only post here if you've contacted me about it!))

Hawke was not happy about this. He was even less happy about using an Orange Star craft to reach the Egg Carrier, but like hell was he going to try the full-frontal assault with the rest of the school. He'd assembled his strike team, and they were going to be discreet. While the robots were concentrating their efforts on the noisy, bombastic invasion, his team would take the figurative back door.

He was not terribly happy about certain presences (MAX), but the group was talented, and he was sure they'd be able to accomplish what they needed to in the chaos. Didn't mean he wasn't going to brief them as they came at the Egg Carrier FROM BEHIND.

"Our objective is to be as discreet as possible. Once we are aboard the Egg Carrier, we will penetrate the defenses as necessary and try to locate Lash, hopefully under the distraction provided by our...overeager colleagues. For the moment, we will stick together, but depending on what happens, we may be forced to split up. If that is the case, we'll contact each other using headsets."

He folded his arms behind his back. "We disembark in two minutes. Please check your weapons. Are there any questions?"

Max had met Hawke and friends as he was taking his tanks back to the Orange Star storage areas. Meeting up with Hawke in his area had been a fun moment, and had Jake not been with him they'd probably still be yelling at each other.

But Max didn't trust Hawke anyway, even if Jake did. So Max had volunteered to fly the stealth bomber that they were going to be using to fly up to the Egg Carrier.

"Yeah. There a place to land this thing on that flyin' whatever it is? I don't wanna have to stay inside of this thing while the rest of you go off." Because 1. He wants in on the action and 2. Plans on going everywhere Hawke does.

Raiden raised his hand. "Yeah, can I go to the bathroom?"

"There's probably an auto pilot or something, right?"

Raiden appreciated the brief on some level, even if he had gone over the mission details in his head over and over. And discreet, he could certainly do. He was armed to the teeth, as much as he could carry on his skull suit.

"Who's taking the lead?"

Re: HAWKE TEAM ASSEMBLEEEE

[black_hawke]

"We will land briefly and then activate the autopilot so that we don't leave the craft defenseless on the Egg Carrier. When we are ready to depart, we'll call the craft back." So yes, Max, you were totally in on the action and totally everywhere Hawke went.

He turned to Raiden, double-checking the guns strapped to his belt and to his back. "For now, I will."

Max had no weapons but his fists. And a giant ripped off tank gun. And he had no fancy outfit but a tank top and some pants and steel-toed boots.

Max was glaring at Hawke, daring the other CO to give the CO of Ultimate Righteousness some orders he disagreed with. "I'll follow your orders as long as you give good orders." Well that was probably as best as you could hope for, really.

Max was confused by Raiden's fancy duds. "Raiden where'd you get that getup? Is that some sorta workout spandex suit?"

"No." Stare. "It's called a Skull Suit."

Mac also had nothing but his fists and no fancy outfits to speak of. In fact, for the time being at this very second, Mac was surprisingly quiet, unsure of what kind of imput he would really have other than assuring he'll be good on offense probably. He didn't know this Hawke person too well but he seems like a guy who knows what he's talking about. Mac was not a military expert at all, all he was really concerned about was Lash's safety and if Hawke's plan works, he'll be cool with it. He appears to be paying close attention though.

Kirby was also there, in his pink ball form. It was far much easier to move around as a ball, and not only that he would be able to use all sorts of things that may be found in the area to get an ability. He just didn't know what kind of abilities he would get, though, but he would roll with anything.

For the moment, though, he was munching on a tomato instead of trying to look cool and serious as the others were.

"Pika pika pika CHU! Pika pika pika CHU!"

Amp wasn't seeming very serious either. She just stood amongst the team she'd wound up finding herself with at some point, cheering them on. She was excited to fight alongside them!

"I'm set," Jake said, putting his guns back in their holsters. He also had his microphone stand with him. "Let's trash this place."

Eggman stared out the window of the craft as they approached. "You, blue gorilla!" he shouted at Max. "The landing strip is there. Think your feeble brain can land this thing in one piece?"

Kirby should inhale Max to get his super angry powers

[tank_rockarms]

"MY NAME," said Max kindly, "IS MAX. I'M IN YOUR CLASS. YOU SHOULD REMEMBER WHO I AM. I'M FLYIN' THIS AIRPLANE FOR YOU. MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T CALL ME NAMES. WHILE I'M TRYIN'. TO CONCENTRATE. SO WE DON'T DIE."

Oh Eggman. You stumbled across the little pet name used between Max and Flak. A name he hates. How lucky for you.

Irregardless of Eggdouche, Max took the plane in for a 12 point landing (Max gets a 20% bonus to stealth bombers). You really have no idea how this man who can barely fit into the cockpit let alone the pilot's seat set it down with such care, but there we are.

In the back of his mind, however, Max was sort of missing out on the whole bombing the hell out of something with the bomber. Since that's sort of what Max did. Oh well, maybe there would be something to bomb on the way out.

"Alright," Max said, becoming slightly less tense as he plane came to a stop and he started flipping switches to open up the doors. "Keepin' this thing camouflaged eats up a ton of fuel. Whatever we do it's gotta be fast. Careful climbin' down the ladder, once you go out you're gonna be visible."

[readuringbattle]

Amidst all this technical talk, Canas felt sick. He didn't do so well with anything that ran using a motor (they don't have those sorts of things back in Elibe!), not to mention that they were just. Flying and all. Which he also didn't do every day, if ever.

Though, he tried to stay quiet, stifling his shaking as well as he could manage. However, his focus was broken; he hardly listened to what everyone said.

[boxingmidget]

Mac couldn't help but notice Canas shaking a little and being a little out there. Was he nervous? Made sense, this was pretty nerve wracking stuff. And they were maybe a whole minute or so away from landing and going on with their mission. But to make sure, he finally spoke as he looked at Canas. "You alright?"

[black_hawke]

Hawke didn't particularly like Max, but his patience for Eggman was thinning, especially because it was his fault everyone was in this mess anyway. So he kept silent as they landed on the Egg Carrier. As soon as the plane was safely stopped, he unfolded his arms and made for the exit.

"Open the hatch. The rest of you, stay on your toes and get ready to move out."

[readuringbattle]

Oh- he'd have to be ready! Canas straightened up, but he turned to Mac, forcing a smile.

"I-I'll do fine," he assured him, clutching his tome to his chest. "I've just... never been on one of these contraptions before..."
