OPERATION SEXY MARIO: CONCLUSION

Date & Time: Sept 19th
Location: The UE Holding Compound, and surrounding area.
Characters: Anyone being rescued, doing the rescuing, or doing the distracting.
Summary: There have been some slackers freeloading off the UE for the past couple weeks or so, so let's go drag them home.
Warnings: Likely violence! Let a mod know if we should update this.

Those meant for distraction and those meant for rescue alike are both loaded onto the same stolen highspeed train. It's a great distance to cover, but the train manages in just under two hours, and deposits both groups three miles from the Holding Compound — a desolate and cold area, with rocky, uneven ground, small but jagged hills well-scattered and covered in scraggly trees — and there they part ways.

The diversion is sent away north, to draw United Earth attention and aggression upward, further into the continent, while the rescue team takes a much slower and quieter route to approach the Compound from the south, closest to Exsilium. The rescue team's orders are to wait a full half hour, to be sure that all forces who can be drawn out of the Compound to meet the sudden onslaught from the north will have already left.

The diversion team won't have an easy job of it. The soldiers are heavily armed, and trained to fight to the death before they surrender. They're grouped in organized squadrons, about 20 in each, and seem to outnumber Transports by three to one. Scattered throughout these soldiers are the Masked, the UE's special forces. These soldiers strike with a deadly precision, enhanced speed and strength, and highly advanced weaponry. Also, oddly enough, they seem to have a few smaller members among them, standing about 4 feet tall, and wielding strange powers… Those familiar with the powers of their kidnapped friends may see distinct similarities.

The Compound itself, when the rescue team makes their way in, will be very quiet. All prisoners had been forced into locked rooms (together or separately — whatever was most convenient) before the soldiers had left to face the encroaching threat. There are still personnel left to man the base, of course, and a few of them are armed soldiers — but for the most part it's scientists and researchers. Careful, though. Even scientists and researchers are perfectly capable of sounding the alarm to bring back the armed threats.

Once everyone is out of the Compound, the train will begin running a return trip. It will be kept as long as possible, while the distraction teams sneak back from the battlefield in small groups, but it can't wait forever. Those on the battlefield for the longest, the hardest hitters or the most dedicated fighters, might just have to find another way home. So… any Transports with relocation abilities feel like lending a hand?

-- Ah!

[Right, right, this is her chance to really show off. If she does this, then Tess will realize how awful she is and be repulsed, right? The way things should be. She reaches into her shadow a second time and pulls out a small, prettily colored box, which she attempts to hand over. Inside are a couple of macarons.]

If you would throw one of the macarons inside of that box in my direction, Miss Tess...?
copia: (i gets it in hmm yea)

[personal profile] copia 2013-10-01 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[ She sighs and leans her head on Kido's shoulder. ]

Where did they get this train from?

[Little wave of the hand as she makes sure there's a good amount of it over the burn before she lowers her hand, makes a motion for Kido to reapply the bandages.]

- Sorta surreal, talkin' bout it like that. [Drawing her hands back, Tess wipes the excess ointment on her jeans before capping the tube again.] I ain't one to talk though, so I guess we got that in common, at least.

[Helping herself up into a seat nearby.] Glad you're here.

[oh my god he didn't even know that half this shit existed

he needs to eat them all]


--uwah, you sound like a pretty rich person!

[personal profile] justgo 2013-10-01 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? If you really want one... [Taking the box, she checks inside, raises a brow but yup - there are the macarons that Elaine talked about. A raised brow as she shifts, but pulling out a purplish one before throwing it over. The girl's got reflexes, right?

She's not expecting much.

I would, I believe -- be happy if that were true. Even they maintain a stronger sense of humanity than I do; I'm certain that they must be quite aware of those feelings.

[If the happiness is that vivid they'll probably feel even more betrayed if-when they find out what she's done. But she can't tell Kido that -- she realizes now that Kido is the kind of person she wants-wanted to become-could have been and knows what she'll say. You haven't stopped being Elaine just because of this. Why would they suddenly hate you just because of this?

But they would, right? If she ever became human they'd just find someone else. Someone better.]


... Thank you very much, Miss Kido.

[Kido starts to wrap the bandages again, a slight frown ceasing her features. So that's why she flinched. But isn't Tess new? So, the time she might have been shot...

She doesn't want to ask but the idea of that hurts.

When she finishes, she looks at her with a nod.]
...I'm glad you're here, too. Even if we just met. Uhm, did you get hurt out there?
duplicitoussight: (Subjective Cyan Filter)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-10-01 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not. [He has to say something, even if he thinks he doesn't deserve to say that answer. Not after what he did. If he didn't respond, she'd take it the wrong way. But it's like she said--they can fix it. Together, like they always had.

His hand touches her injured thigh again gently.]


There are healers around, you know. You should get it fixed.

My family is somewhat well to do... I was allowed to leave my home only recently, and as a result I was often brought many different foods, as a child! Because I am disliked, Uncle Lawrence and Uncle Edward -- both far more able-bodied than myself and less restricted than Father, would travel and send gifts to our home in order to appease him.

...there is something. But I've already decided this place won't be able to provide that for me.

[No, the UE mattered little to Huey. After observing what he saw, he couldn't even consider them proper scientists. Honestly, they didn't even bother to remove a single body part nor did they even try to test his immortality. A bunch of fools, really.

And other reasons, but shh. No need to know about those. There are more important things to be answered. The questions Monica had. Who knows if he'll answer those though.]

[It doesn't even get a chance to hit the ground. Her "shadow" opens up into what's best described as a giant black maw and snatches it out of the air --

And then returns to normal like it was just a hallucination.]


That is the manner in which I would eat this hypothetical offending person!

Compound | Train Ride Back

[personal profile] demonbloodblade 2013-10-01 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
A. [Compound.

Suffice to say that Meliantha is very, very angry right now. And her sword is also angry. And to be honest, that's not good anger. It's 'things get cut and burned at the same time' anger. It's 'you assholes made it impossible for me to keep to my faith' anger. It's 'opponents die' anger. Even scientists and researchers. If they're not on her side, she will kill them. And if you're having issue, a screaming demon-blood with a firey sword may come out of nowhere to rescue you.]

B. [The train.

Slashed up badly in a few places, shot in a few more, and generally having had a lousy day: welcome to Meliantha's life today.]

The more, the merrier. [Little breath as she shakes her head, tries to wave off the technicalities.] Nothing I can't take care of.

Right now, I'm just doin' some damage control myself. Gettin' some breathing room. Don't worry about it.

[When Flora registers a familiar voice and her name, in that order, she immediately moves in that direction. She stares at Kido intently, looking her over before meeting her eyes, again.

Kido wasn't there with her, but there was a battle not long ago. She's concerned.]


Kido, are you hurt at all? Are you alright?

[He shoots Christopher a look.]

I'll keep an eye on them. Quit it with your melodramatics you weirdo.

[And then at Erika.]

Even most villains won't participate in catharsis like this.
khajidont: (Beetle - Talking)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-10-01 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, kind of. The suit runs on an AI, [he says, though there's some hesitance in his voice now that he's aware of some people's distinct displeasure with an AI's mere existence.]

khajidont: (Beetle - Yeurgh!)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-10-01 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure if I should be feeling insulted or not, [Jaime jokes, though it really isn't the best description in the world for a superhero. Batman had tried to give him tips on striking fear into the hearts into criminals, but he's going to have to get past the wow, you're short stage first.

And possibly the fluffy kitten stage.

At the very least, the carapace shield does its job nicely as stray gunfire merely bounces off of it long enough for him to descend to the area designated for healing.]


khajidont: (Beetle - Grin)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-10-01 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[At first, Jaime just stares at Shintaro, nothing short of bewilderment in his gaze. He's not sure what it says about himself that almost immediately afterwards, that spurs him into a much more lengthy burst of laughter.

The worst part of that is that Shintaro's right.]


Not what I was getting at. I just meant that I'm way too bright to be one of the guys sneaking around. [He grins at him, mood much improved by the laugh, even with the foreboding prospect of the mission ahead.] But I am a superhero, so... good guess?
khajidont: (Beetle - Talking)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-10-01 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He holds up three fingers.]

I'm Blue Beetle number three.

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-10-01 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles a little, adapting his mannerisms just for a moment.]

I'll get it looked at in a bit. Shouldn't you rest?

[Blaine was shuffling the last of the imprisoned people out when he heard the door opening. He turned and his motions to move people out slowed as he watched Elissa physically pushing back guards. It was not the first time he was glad they were on the same side.

Her voice knocked him out of his awed gaze just as the last person exited the room.]

It's clear!

[And he drew his gun, ready to handle what was going to come through the door.]

[Kido leans her head a little on Kaede's, eyes shut.]

I dunno. I guess they must've stolen it from the UE? I wonder how they did though...

[She sighs.] A lot of what they do is kind of mysterious, huh?
aceordisgraced: (serious cards.)

[personal profile] aceordisgraced 2013-10-01 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, that's me. Really, you're not recognizing me by my hair, huh?

[He grips her hand firmly and nods to her, pulling her close so that if anything happens he can shield her.]

We're getting out of here a. s. a. p., Maya. You read to run a bit?
aceordisgraced: (serious cards.)

[personal profile] aceordisgraced 2013-10-01 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He bursts out laughing because it has been quiet without Maya hasn't it? But he's serious immediately again.]

Yeah, she's got to be here. I haven't seen her since everyone else started disappearing.
concealingeyes: (Default)

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-10-01 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah, I'm fine. [She smiles slightly.] Madoka took care of my wound pretty good. So don't worry. What about you though?
