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?

Kido's been really eager to put her hands on me, huh? Right after being rescued, too! How fast, how fast of her.

[ Freedom!
Fresh air that isn't from being in an all-too-perfect, secluded courtyard!!
A train!

Kaede cuts the multiple thoughts running through her head to take the redhead's hand without any hesitation.

Right!

[ at the tremors, belle stares down at the ground, then back at donny, jaw set and slightly wary. but tentatively, after a moment, she does indeed take his hand. she squeezes it, tighter than necessary, not out of fear or defiance or in an attempt to drag him away, but for simple human contact. she's there. she understands. it's eerily close to what she remembers, but this time, he has a way to get to the woman he loves.

and she's going to see that he does.
]

But you want to get her.

There's - there's a way in. There has to be.
acemedium: (I don't even)

..Physics? [He was looking for science? ... Oh wait, he said her]

[Anyway, if he's going to move, so is she. With him being so dead-set on going forward, she's going to go ahead and wedge herself next to him, trying to support him as best she can for a scrawny teenaged girl who'd been eating pretty much nothing but jello since she got here]


O-Okay... we can find your science friend.
acemedium: BUT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE PAIN IN MY HEAAAARTTTT because someone ate my noodles (erryday I'm fakesmiling)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-10-04 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's all floppy! What did you do to it? It should be skewering that dumb hat!

[There's no sassy comments to him pulling her close, though. No protests, nothing. She tries for a smile; it's not quite right, but it's the best she can do for now, considering everything]

Are you kidding? Can you even keep up with me, old man?
copia: (whip it like i do)

[personal profile] copia 2013-10-04 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I like sitting here with you. Let's definitely sit for a bit.

I can't. How can I go back when all I did was make things worse? I gotta help someone first.

( Just a look, steady, because it hardly needs to be said. Yes he wants to get her, he wants to be at her side, he wants to get her out of that place even if she never wants to see him again. He holds Belle's hand, keeping himself steady as the ground lurches, cracks tearing further away from them. It's small, at first, but keeps widening, and what he meant to be a trap for the soldiers is looking more and more like an opportunity. )

I d-don't-- I don't know.

( He thinks so. Maybe. The divide might be big enough that the troops have too big a diversion to get around - he's not sure. There's so much to think about. ) We're m-meant to be a-- a d-diversion.

I hear you talking a lot but I don't hear any complaining in it.

[And maybe she is eager to touch him and affirm that he's really okay, that all her thoughts from before were just a nightmare. He's fine and he's here. That's all that matters.]

[The assassin stood over the bodies of the two recently felled men where he had knelt to retrieve his knives, the hood falling loosely over his head obscuring his face until he smiled and looked directly at the lady who had spoken. Such a skilled assassin. It was no surprise she would know Ezio. ]

Giovanni. Ezio is my son.

[With the patrol of guards dead the alarm stayed silent, but there was no way to say how long it would remain that way. He moved to pass her in the hall, still speaking as he pressed on. They did have to rescue those who had been kidnapped. ]

You have a great amount of skill. The flame comes from the 'magic' of the Initiative?
implying: (oh my god you guys)

[personal profile] implying 2013-10-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He knows that look, and he knows it would be unwise to let Fenris find anything. Better to keep the only weapons in this fight as the ones in his arms. He lands heavily on one foot from the punch gone wide, and he's immediately pressing forward with the other, swinging again. If he can press Fenris back far enough...

He finally speaks, low and almost unconnected to the current exertion.
]

My orders are to keep Transports inside, if you go back the way you've come from...

[ ...Then he wouldn't have to keep attacking. ]

[personal profile] lucency 2013-10-04 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I know what we're meant to do, but -

[ the chasm clues belle in as well, and she speaks quickly, more confident with what needs to be done with every word. ]

You have to go to her. You have to try.

[ a part of her wants to tell him that if he won't, then she will - but it's not entirely true. it's his fight, she knows, and she'll let him have it. perhaps max is strong enough to take care of herself, but there's a certain power in having control of the situation like that. ]
bumbles: (Default)

[personal profile] bumbles 2013-10-04 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
She d-doesn't-- doesn't w-want me.

( Or she'd been made to say it, she'd-- God, he doesn't know, he doesn't know if that was her but some part of it recognises it as a truth, even if it isn't one she'd have spoken. Even if she was manipulating him as something manipulated her.

Flames lick over the hand not holding Belle's, and he pours it into the chasm, engulfing the soldiers that had started to cross it, pressing others back. He needs time, he needs to think, which is entirely impossible. Atlas should be better than this. )
wolfuncaged: ([Watch] My story's sad to tell)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2013-10-04 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fenris can recognise the tone in an instant. It's the sort he's had himself. When you've had to do what your master has told you to do, even if you have no wish to do it yourself. He keeps his eyes on Vanadi, careful, calculated]

And what will happen to us if we remain inside?

[Satisfied, Ene sighs and leaves the cell. She glances both ways and tilts her head to listen for any stray scientists that might be nearby.]

I don't hear anyone, but we should probably leave quickly. They might get worried soon!

[She turns towards them, smiling brilliantly. She really does feel so much better!]
firstroar: (pic#6165259)

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-10-05 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[he'd be questioning those remarks if he weren't so focused on finding Physis. he's getting a throbbing headache from straining to try to sense something outside of his body, powers nerfed as they are.

he's not as reluctant as he could be in accepting her support.]


It can't be that much farther...

[personal profile] lucency 2013-10-05 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't matter if she wants you or not, you have to --

[ the flames startle her, she has to say. she cuts her sentence off and takes a step back, keeping hold of donny's hand and letting him go through with his plan - especially if it keeps the soldiers from getting through. anything to buy them time.

she shakes her head forcefully once, takes a marching step forward, and peers up at him. really, there's no getting around it.
]

Even if you can't be with her, something's happened and you can help her. You're in this together. You're entwined in ways that I can't possibly imagine. Would she do the same for you?
khajidont: (Beetle - Talking)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-10-05 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
No problem.

[The shields melt away back into his arms, and he lets her and Kirara down. It's quieter here, away from the grunts and groans and screams. He should get back in there, but it can't hurt just to take a moment to get himself together. Though he doesn't jet off, he finds his gaze being drawn to the sky, where one of the small UE soldiers is in the air, and shudders.

They creep him out, they really do. It seems wrong fighting something that small.]
duplicitoussight: (Dropsy)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-10-05 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Itatata--!! [Given no time to recover between Ene's kick and Shintaro's ear-pulling, he makes comical noises of pain. But, just as he's told to, he stands up, wobbly. His shins ache, but the pain's dulled.]

... Shintaro makes it sound like I want to stay here. [Never mind the fact that he entertained the idea.] That'd be irresponsible of me. You two can't go back with a failed mission, right?

[He's caused enough trouble. So he'll let them drag him back to decide his punishment. He smiles back at Ene, but without his eyes it seems weaker and more grudging than he would've made it.]

Ene's full of energy today... so she should lead the way.
duplicitoussight: (Irradiation Illusion)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-10-05 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He isn't complaining because he can't. Her touch is a reaffirmation that everything's back to the way it was, ordinary and smooth as it always had been. The kidnapping and that spoiled date... it never happened. Just a bad dream.]

I can't. Kido's jumping all over me without giving me a chance to rest.

Just put your head down, idiot. You're just as tired as me.

[Erika watches her for a moment, shoulders loosing some of their tension.]

...Would you be?
bumbles: (Default)

[personal profile] bumbles 2013-10-05 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
( would she?

She could have abandoned him to Asteria a long time ago. It's not even a question: Max would always save him. It wasn't something he souls expect and not something e deserved, but he knew that she would. Flame bursts in the chasm, then roars higher.)


Lets-- let's g-go.

( they should move fast. The sooner they find her, the better.)
cesar: (& / get in loser)

[personal profile] cesar 2013-10-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, if the lady asks! Cesare holds the door and even gestures for her to step through. She had better curtsy and shit ]

Let her. We may yet need a lady's assistance.
