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?

Uh, like half this train? We're not exactly splitting into groups on our end.

[He spreads his arms open, indicating the others around them in a vast gesture.]

Don't gotta plan like you guys do when our job's to run in there going, ooh, ooh, please shoot us.
vaccination: (joel.)

[personal profile] vaccination 2013-09-22 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but are you old enough to go out there? [Since surely that's what he was implying before. And she has no idea how old he is.]

[We may discuss this point once you start warning me about torturing and killing.

Kevin dexterously takes advantage of Break's loss of balance to seize his wrist. He has already taken that ridiculous trenchcoat off and is sitting on the windowsill. By now, his plans should be obvious, but Break still gets a few soft floating feathers as confirmation.

Trust me, sir. We are going be alright. [he says, and yes, there is something definitively wicked about his voice.] I bet my best strawberry shortcake recipe.

The great thing about secret IDs is that I don't have to share that info.

[...he's just going to ignore the fact that he's part of a group called the Teen Titans for the moment.]

Besides, why're you bringing age into this?

[And then, of course, the wind chooses that very precise moment to reveal Break's empty eye socket.]

[Kevin takes a deep breath, and attempts to pull Break closer to the window, as if inviting him for a dance.]


And no more missing body parts either. For neither of us. How is that for useless platitudes, Mister Break?

[When she looks up (she still can't meet Kido's eyes), her eyes are slightly moist, but most notice is her face. Which is flushed beet red thanks to her pallor and -- something. Embarrassment, shyness, or a mixture of the two because she doesn't know what her feelings are doing.

Putting the long-desired acceptance and friendship aside, she just can't say no to free food.]


... All right...

Ah, but -- to keep the numbers that you and Kano have as they are, Kido, could you please attribute the credit of my recruitment to Shintaro, instead?
senseandcecilbility: (so be it)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-09-22 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I do not think so.

[Though there is something definitively familiar about her.]

You do look concerned, though.
maskmaker: ([mask maker] (¬、¬))

[personal profile] maskmaker 2013-09-22 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Allen has no need to struggle too hard. The hand leaves his mouth immediately, the other following right after, and the masked person takes a step back, accompanied by the sound of hard shoe soles clunking against the floor and heavy cloak swishing with their movement. The knife stays down.]

Don't fret like that. I've got no reason to kill you unless you're going to get in my way.
maskmaker: ([mask maker] (´−`))

[personal profile] maskmaker 2013-09-22 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Have you seen any of them?

[The cloaked figure won't approach, not with a knife in hand when they know that that's no way to seem unthreatening. Instead, they turn away, stepping toward one of the fallen scientists and crouching by them to wipe the blood off on their coat.]

I am looking for a man.
maskmaker: ([mask maker] (´−`))

[personal profile] maskmaker 2013-09-22 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
I was merely getting rid of those standing in my way. I also had a question for this one. [Not that there was anything special about this scientist. He was simply just the last one left alive. The masked figure takes a step toward Erika, dragging the man with them.]

Do you know where the kidnapped Transports are being held?
sorrowfulcry: (And it's hollow and it's cold)

A.

[personal profile] sorrowfulcry 2013-09-22 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
What the- GET DOWN!!

[Aoba better start running away unless he wants to get hit by splash damage from the grenade Heat just launched at a group of soldiers. The blue haired youth may be grossly unprepared for this, but this red head lives for the fight. But that said... What the hell was with blue haired kids and being completely incompetent? (well, Cielo wasn't completely hopeless, but he's not exactly a paragon of a good soldier either)]

[... you might have been better off on your own]
vaccination: (wait.)

[personal profile] vaccination 2013-09-22 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Because you made it sound like I couldn't my handle myself if I went in alone. So. Age.

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
... That's impressive. Weren't you scared? Distraction's right in the frontlines...

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[AYANO oh my god. Shintaro's immediately back by her side and holding out a hand to help her up.]

Only you and Momo would hit her head from just tripping like that. Be careful! Do you seriously have a bump?

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Haha...

[He can appreciate the humor, even coming from a weirdly dressed not!cosplayer like this guy. Really, was this guy a superhero or something? He really can't believe they'd actually dress like that if he really was. He presses himself against the seat to avoid another passing Transport, and turns his attention to an open spot across from Jaime, nodding.]

Yeah, that might be for the best. Um, you don't mind, do you?

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[His attention is already on her when she moves beside him, so he doesn't miss how she touches her headphones or eyes the machines. Familiar with her weapon's function and her original ability to move between electronics already, he doesn't even have to think to understand what she means. And when it's their best and possibly only available tactic, he's not going to say no even if he complains.]

You want me to hold you up? If I drop you it's not my fault!

[But he's moving behind her quickly, into position so he can catch her once her mind leaves the body.]

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
... I feel like you just really offhandedly told me something pretty awful, but okay. As long as you understand...

Do dream catchers actually work?
khajidont: (Beetle - Talking)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-09-22 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Unless they're Superman or something, nobody should be running in there alone. It's too dangerous to go running into these things without anyone around to watch your back.

[Not that he's thrilled she's on here... but she's not exactly getting off at this point.]
vaccination: (care.)

[personal profile] vaccination 2013-09-22 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
It's easier to be quiet when you're alone.

[She's armed, but she's not planning on fighting unless she has to.]
explodewiththerage: (Y-you just got lucky....)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2013-09-22 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah well

[A bullet pings off of the back of his head and with a roar of annoyance he blasts the perpetrator with his fire breath attack.]

I wasn't there when they decided to make it that way. Then again they didn't have vehicles 400 years ago so I guess no one planned it.
hostage: (mediating ☣)

[personal profile] hostage 2013-09-22 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely. And you'll survive today, too. I promise you will.
hostage: (needy ☣)

[personal profile] hostage 2013-09-22 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
[He's surprised, but he returns the embrace warmly. He can feel himself starting to get choked up when he holds her, thinking this might be a goodbye and now she's off to battle and it might go terribly wrong, but - but he shouldn't do this right now, while she's here. Cry later.]

Yeah. You, too.
ensorceler: (Default)

[personal profile] ensorceler 2013-09-22 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
That is much to promise. But it is not I that am risking my life as much as the others. It is they we must keep in our thoughts.
hostage: (faking ☣)

[personal profile] hostage 2013-09-22 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's a promise I can make to you. I wish I could say the same for the others, but...
