Game Over, Man [Part 2]

Aug 25, 2010 11:10

In the complex, deeper into it near the core, several of the away team were all strung up near each other, around a clutch of disgusting looking eggs. Two appeared to have already been hatched. The rest were waiting. They were bound to the walls by slime and ick, some sort of substance spit up by the creatures that may as well have been quick-dry ( Read more... )

They were boned.

Reimi could understand where he was coming from. At least she wasn't NAKED this time. That alone brought back bad memories of scientists and prodding and tests and the leering expressions of some of the guards--BRR.

"Calm down a little Hiccup, we'll be fine. I hope."

She glanced around the room. "Barely enough room for me to perform a killer move." And she felt behind her. No bow. "Drat."

Rose eyed the remaining eggs with apprehension.

They needed to get out of here. Now.

She struggled against the cementlike goo binding her to the wall, trying to get a hand loose. But, as with her previous attempts, she ended up with the same result: no luck.

She slumped down into the cocoon for a rest. “Well, kids, I think we’ve all learned an important lesson today: never go to an abandoned colony, because it’s probably less abandoned than you think.”

“Everyone alright? Well, considerin’…” Rose jerked her head to indicate the literally sticky situation that they found themselves in.

It was time to regroup. And since they were stuck on the planet until they got the engineer they needed, time to see if any assistance could be rendered.

Tobias had demorphed, and was perched on a chair-back, knowing full well Kang was probably going to let him have it. He'd acted on instinct, mostly, just like so many times back home, trying to help any way he could. He probably could have stayed airborne through the first creature, but after that, he'd had to get down there and help.

Yuunagi bounced and settled against the empty seats as Setsuna dropped it, the closest she could come to mistreating her blade. She clenched her fists and stalked to the side of the ship to stay out of everyone else's way as they entered.

"Pathetic..." she growled. It might have been hard to tell, but that fury was directed inward. She should have been able to do more. She should have been faster to react, been fiercer in the battle. But she had been completely unable to reach her teammates. Completely unable to save them.

Re: In the ship... stoickthevast August 26 2010, 01:32:29 UTC

Stoick veritably fell into the closest seat he could find, that being next to Tobias. His arm felt strange and he could see that the shield was in pieces, the holes from the acid blood aside. He wasn't sure if he wanted to remove the shield yet or not; it would surely splinter if not dissolve if he didn't take it off soon.

And then he hung his head. He'd ignored Kang's orders in the panic of not knowing where his son was. He tried to reassure himself that Hiccup was fine--probably holed up somewhere and hiding. But it still hurt to think he'd let his son down. To top it all he'd disobeyed a direct order--his father would have had words to say. And surely, Kang would not let something like that go.

He dropped the warhammer to the floor with a solid thud, flexing his hand and letting the blood circulate once more. He hadn't realized how tightly he'd been grasping it.

One of the first places they found in the complex was a store room full of mining equipment.

Maybe those with melee weapons could find something useful here.

After that, it was time to move out and head into the fray.

Re: Rescuers -- Lock and Load bladesinflight August 29 2010, 05:55:11 UTC

Setsuna ducked into the room, short swords in hand, ready to be attacked. But so far they hadn't met with the enemy yet. She certainly wasn't letting down her guard, but the storeroom they'd found was interesting enough that she could relax and study her surroundings for a moment ( ... )

Re: Rescuers -- Lock and Load yubyublieutnant August 30 2010, 03:48:43 UTC

"Ee chee wa maa!" Kettch stared wide eyed at the glowing blade in Setsuna's hands. Truly these weapons must be a gift from the gods. After all, the legendary heroes were often given magical weapons by the gods ( ... )

Re: Rescuers -- Lock and Load governorkang August 30 2010, 04:17:22 UTC

"Was this a mining operation or an armory?" Kang snorted, noticing immediately how most of the equipment in the room could be used offensively.

Weapons were nice, though. Weapons were very nice. He had been afraid that his own would be destroyed by the acidic blood of the creatures fairly quickly into any fight.

He looked over the selection, specifically for something that wouldn't be too much of a hassle to handle, and his eyes settled on something that resembled a gun; he was very glad that he'd learned how to use one over the past few months. Careful to keep the end pointed away from everyone else, he tested it out, and grinned when a metal spike embedded itself in the wall and it sparked with electricity.

Oh, he was bringing this back with him if at all possible.

"If you're going to pick up something here, do it quick. We need to move."

It was sheer luck that they found a store room full of mining equipment.

Those without weapons could maybe find something useful here--with the aliens now aware they'd escaped, their lives might very well depend on it.

After they armed up, they had to run.

Re: Rescuees -- Lock and Load seraphicthunder August 30 2010, 03:47:40 UTC

Reimi swept into the room first, her bow strung and taut as she stepped around the corner. After checking the room, she gestured the others in. "It's clear. Grab something pointy and make sure you can carry it."

Re: Rescuees -- Lock and Load burntlikethesun August 30 2010, 04:43:45 UTC

Rose picked up a tool that she thought she had a chance of operating. It had the configuration of a standard handgun, but with a C-shaped extension that curved back toward the handle.

She aimed it--it had a laser sight, of some sort--at an empty spot and pulled the trigger. The beam sliced into the stone in front of her, and Rose nodded in approval. "Oh, very nice."

She pocketed some nearby cartridges that appeared to be ammunition for the gun, before taking up a spot next to Reimi to cover the door with her new weapon.

Re: Rescuees -- Lock and Load riseupnchargem August 31 2010, 03:53:10 UTC

Jamie had one of the plasma cutters slung from his toolbelt, and in addition had grabbed a rivet gun, which he was clinging to with a certain amount of desperation as he continually scanned the room for signs of incoming slimy chitinous things.
