Burning Skies Saloon Quest: Past, Present, and Future
RearAdmiralZill:
*On the 66th floor, the gas from Shink's improvised grenade took out the ambush waiting for them. Jun'ko searched the bodies and found the key to the iron door before them. Zill caught her hand before she opened it.*
Ill do it. Guys take up positions. They are expecting us. I want the controls intact if possible. Id rather use them against birds than not at all.
*The team sets up and Zill turns the key. The iron door swings open and what was there couldnt be imagined. 6 normal guards, 4 heavies, and what can only be described as a biological nightmare. It towered over every man there, and had a beak made of razor-like metal on its face. Despite this, the team opens fire.*
Jun, toss a grenade!
I thought you wanted...
Give it to me dammit!
*Papa tosses it near the door and it explodes. 4 guards go down. The heavies are unaffected and it only pissed off the birdman. The heavies spend their gatling's ammo and come forth. One soldier gets brave and runs up. The Heavy soaks up his gunfire and grabs his head, snapping his neck. Papa pushes one Heavy down and uses his hand to crush the armor onto the man's head. Zill blocks one and finds a weakness in its neck armor. He takes a blow to the chest, but shoves his pistol on the opening and fires. Two down. Jun follows up and dodges her enemy's lunge, shoving a knife into the neck. The remaining two soldiers grab onto the last heavy, pulling his head back and exposing his chin. Shink takes aim and plants a bullet into the man's jaw.
This leaves the Birdman, and Zill motions to the group.*
Ill take care of this. Go get those guns reprogrammed.
*Zill cocks his pistol and shoots the bird in the shoulder. It only charges him. The team maneuvers around the fight, takes down the 2 remaining guards, and into the hallway to the control room.*
Shinkurex:
*Shink drops back and watches the scene unfold before him*
"You guys go on. I'll help Zill"
"Zill said to go on ahead"
"I never was one to listen"
*Shink Unloads his pistols into the back of the beast leaving no distinguishable marks. He tosses aside his weapons, and throws another 'Specialty' grenade Zill's way*
"See if you can't make him eat this"
*Shink then draws two wicked looking blades that are laced with some deadly poison, and rushes in towards the beast to cause a distraction*
--Control Room--
*Jun-ko and Papa enter the control room after some creative killing of the current occupants. Papa hurries to the center console, and inputs some commands in*
Access Denied
"Piece of crap computer"
*Papa Kicks The machine, and the room sparked to life ready to work*
"Now we're talking"
BdrLineAzn:
*Yiski and his group continue through the building. After a few minutes, they exit the Tower into the surrounding town.*
*At the far end, they see the two heavy cannons. But surrounding the cannons are two bunkers. flanking the bunkers are two Hawacha turrets and a squad of heavy infantry*
*The enemy, seeing that the group excited the building, opened fire*
*The group scatters as two burst from the hawachas hits the entrance, shrapnel flying everywhere*
*Smoke fills the air, and with it the group scatters to a building to catch their breath*
Any injuries?
Took some shrapnel in my arm. nothing too bad, I can still shoot.
*BdrLine has a hand over his left forearm, some blood ozing out*
*Roland checks all over himself*
I'm alright.
*The three Imperials check themselves*
*One tries to stand on his foot, but falls back down*
I don't think I can walk far with this leg.
Ok, well patch up any wounds you have. We might be here awhile. So how are approach that thing
*Outside on the perimeter, one of Zankif's men notices the flak grid powering down*
*He goes over and tells him*
*Zankif takes out his spyglass and notices it as well*
Yeah I see it as well. Standby still and hold the perimeter, we go in until the rest of the Imperial Fleet arrives and those cannons are eliminated.
Papa Paradox:
The bird man rushes Zill and Shink, juggernaut charging them through two sets of doors and into the control room.
Once it had charged them through the second set of doors, they went flying and landed on their backs, speckled across the floor.
"Nice of you guys to join us, how's dealing with that giant, mutated birdman goin'?" Papa said still staring at the control panel.
"Zill!"
"Just fine you bucket of bolts." Zill said getting himself up off the ground, retrieving the grenade Shink gave him.
"Why the flak did I agree to this?"
RearAdmiralZill:
*The birdman shrugs off Shink's first pistol barrage and charges into Zill. Its hands had razor claws and it swiped at Zill's armor. He punched it with iron knuckles to little effect.*
Battle of attrition. My favorite...
*Shinkurex drives his blades into the back of the monstrosity. Its skin bubbles from the poison. It turns around and swipes at him, barely missing his head as Shink ducks. Zill punched it in the side and then kicked its legs from under it, knocking it down. It flays around, catching Shink in the leg with its razors. He stumbles back. Zill kicks the blades still in the birdman's back deeper in. It lets out a hideous squak and goes for Zill again. It thrusts its beak forward, hitting armor. It then lets out a flurry of punches and scratches. Sparks fly off Zill's armor until it starts to pierce, scratching Zill's torso. He punches hard this time, knocking the beast back into the other room. The poison is beginning to effect the thing. The birdman gets in a violent swipe, hitting Zill's armor again. Shink unloads another pistol into the monster's back, and Zill punches it down to the ground. Zill opens the razor beak, the blades sinking into his hand. He yells, shoving the grenade down its throat. The gas emits from its mouth. It begins to gag and flail about until it finally stays down. Zill puts a bullet in it's head for good measure. Shinkurex's leg is cut and bleeding. He sees Zill's armor leaking blood as well.*
Dont you die on us from some bird.
Ive had....worse.
*They slink onto the control room floor. Papa has managed to get the Flaks turned onto any birdmen targets. They face toward the village and begin firing at unknown targets.*
Maybe Yiski has some friends eh? Either way this should be targeting Birdmen only.
Hope they are alright.
*Shink's leg doesnt look great, and Zill's armor hides much of his pain but not the blood. Jun and two soldiers rush over to help.*
Oh God what happened?!?
Biological....nightmare is what....happened.
Ill just say that better be the only one i fight today.
Hold still.
*The soldier injects Zill with something to stabilize him. They rest in the control tower. The third soldier tried to contact Bdr on his personal radio. The Flak was still firing and he wanted to know how they were doing.*
