Central District [SPLODY PLOT]

Oct 14, 2006 22:20

Unseen- because the unexpected and unobtrusive goes unnoticed so very often, bat-bots from the ruins fluttered out of open windows, traveling here and there, following people into buildings, seeking perches. They took them, then waited.

The front door to the C-Tank jingled softly as it opened.

Wolf-bots lay in wait, still as statues, their ( Read more... )

Iris stumbled around outside. She'd lost LC when he ran out and was just trying now to find somewhere she could be a help. Spotting a group of scared humans unable to fight, she rushed over, Naviforming and activating her barrier to enclose and protect them.

Omega X, now that he had seperated from Zero and gotten a hold of himself, was back to fighting. When he saw a mechanical-looking girl protecting some humans instead of fighting, he activated his dash jets and charged some drones that were jumping to attack her.

Iris couldn't attack, or else she probably would be. As it was, she couldn't hold a barrier for long, so she motioned the humans to run for the shelters and they did.

As it was she had above-human strength and speed, though, so she was able to grab the smaller robots and crush them. And if X came near she would be able to defend him with her barrier if he needed to charge a shot or fire a long attack. She gave a small gasp at the drones, then nodded to thank him. "Most of the humans are gone. If you have any type of high-power wide-range attack I can shield you while you charge it."

Omega X nodded, finally falling back into soldier mode completely, "That would be benefical." Without waiting for Iris to reply, the trim on his armor - now red - turned back to its original gold color, and he started to charge his buster. The energy swirling around it looked almost like rainbow-colored data.

Laika had been taking a bit of a walk when all this started. The training he'd had all this time took over for him and he wanted to help, but even then he knew that without a navi he couldn't. So, he began to do what he could to help with getting civillians out of the crossfire, failing in all the commotion to notice a group of droids approaching his position from behind.

dark_searchman October 15 2006, 22:17:59 UTC

Luckily for Laika, someone else noticed, though he probably wouldn't be thankful. Up on a nearby roof, Dark Searchman got the drones in his sights, then fired, smirking as the drones blew up just a couple yards behind Laika.

child_of_sharo October 15 2006, 22:25:11 UTC

There was a loud, rather ungraceful yelp as Laika whirled about, blinking at the remains of the drones. On a hunch, he glanced up to the rooftops and sighed at seeing Dark Searchman there. Well, at least he'd dealt with them before Laika would have had to. The boy hesitated as an idea struck him. Seeing as how it would be quicker for Searchman to get down to ground level than for Laika to climb to the roof, he gestured to the other to come down, hand going to his pocket where he still kept his PET.

dark_searchman October 15 2006, 22:32:28 UTC

Dark Searchman blinked at the movement, knowing what it meant. He hesitated briefly before jumping down from the roof, taking out a few drones along the way.

"Are you insane?" he demanded when he landed near Laika. Not that he was against the idea. But he was confused as to why Laika would do it knowing the risks.

Layer's headlong flight was checked by a passing wolf-bot. It ignored her so much that it ran past her as if she weren't even there- she spun as even the side-impact of the creature hit her with the force of a moving car and left her stunned, lying on her side in some decorative shrubs.

The shock pulled her mind away from the panicked civilians for a moment.

Oh god... what-

Her powers returned all too soon, throwing her back into irrational fear. Layer scooted back, further into the plants, concentrating through the panic. She would control this- or she'd die.

Luckily, the building Layer was hiding by was convieniently placed by an alley - where a pair of innocent bystanders were watching the carnage and trying their best not to be noticed.

Isaac wasn't normally one to stick his neck very far out for other people; he kept to himself, expected others to keep to themselves, and it worked well enough for everyone involved. But he couldn't help but have some sympathy for everyone else stuck in the middle of this, and...

He winced, seeing a purple-haired girl knocked to the ground just outside the alley. That had to hurt.

But there didn't seem to be anything too close outside, and so for reasons he himself didn't quite understand, he slipped out of the alley, staying close to the side of the building, and made his way over to the girl.

"Are you okay?"

doomgaze_girl October 16 2006, 00:09:11 UTC

Layer flinched, instinctively huddling further away. He was a mechanical- Ground yourself, damnit! Layer raised her head slowly, managed to meet the small bot's eyes- she latched a hand onto his wrist and that helped too.

She used the 'null space' his inorganic body created for her powers to center herself. He was afraid, but his physical instincts didn't respond to her ability, and that was a hell of a lot better than everyone else's panic.

Layer breathed deeply and nodded. Visibly calming down. "Thank you," she breathed.

unquantified October 16 2006, 00:14:39 UTC

Her touch caught him a bit off-guard, but this was hardly the time to worry about that.

"It's safer this way." He tilted his head to indicate the alley behind them. "...not by much, but it's better than staying out in the open."

Some time later, the threat to the ICPU building had been decreased and the Dimensional Area dropped, allowing those who could to move out into the city and search for areas they could help. Or survivors, if there were any.

Enzan stepped over twisted remains of drones and mechanicals, trying to ignore the mangled bodies of the fallen innocent. This was a nightmare, a horror that wouldn't go away. It was like a bad dream...

Enzan paused, placing a hand on a blood smeared wall. The blood was fresh; the owner nowhere in sight. Suddenly, the fear he had been pushing down came back. Where's my family?

V2 was walking along with Enzan. He frowned at Enzan and put a hand on his shoulder,

"Have faith. Come on."

not_a_shadow October 16 2006, 02:52:21 UTC

"H-how?" Enzan bit his lip. "Look at this place! It's all... ruined."

injuue_27963 October 16 2006, 02:53:15 UTC

V2 gave Enzan's shoulder a squeeze, "We are alive, aren't we?"

X had decided to pay a visit to the Library in Central District. He'd seen it on earlier visits to the area, but hadn't taken the time to explore the collections. He knew he'd probably spend hours browsing the Library, so had waited till he'd have an uninterrupted afternoon.

So, when the attack first began, it took a little while before the sounds of the fighting and panic reached where X was wandering the shelves, looking for a particular title that had caught his interest in a computer search.

X froze, hand extended to pull a book down off the shelf. That sounded like an explosion.

He turned up his audio sensitivity, and now he could hear the somewhat muffled sounds of weapons discharging, explosions, and screams of fear and panic coming from outside ( ... )

Axl was still out in the streets, systematically taking out everything that came near him and gradually working his way through the district, trying to find the source - with no luck.

He was almost to the library by now, but he hadn't yet spotted X.

_megaman_x October 16 2006, 05:21:20 UTC

X was heading through the streets, searching for anyone in trouble and keeping an eye out for anyone who might know what was going on. He took out drones wherever he saw them as he went.

He peppered a pack of drones with plasma shots, the lead ones exploding and sending shrapnel into the ones coming up behind. X dodged back from the blast before sending a half-charged shot into the remaining drones. By the time the smoke cleared from the wreckage, X was already charging his buster again with a soft whine.

He glanced around for anymore drones in the immediate area, and spotted Axl coming into view down the street. One more glance at his combat scanning system and then he headed to intercept Axl.

gunslinging October 16 2006, 05:27:05 UTC

Axl, in the meantime, was facing in the other direction, firing away. He took out another pair of drones, and realized as he fired that something was behind him.

He whirled to face it, shifting his aim - and relaxed fractionally when he saw that it was X.
