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?

Wait.

[She lays a hand on his shoulder, glancing at his arm.]

You should probably let me fix this while we're here.

[Read: Before they go out and have to fight.]

With a flick of Raven's wrist, a large disc of black energy appears under their feet and slowly starts lifting them both in the air.

"Where to?"

[ there's enough of a crowd by the door that piper stays put. she tries to listen for movement, but she can't quite hear anything out of the ordinary. ] I've got nothing. Other than I really wouldn't want to be the person who washes all these damn socks.

[Raven shrugs at his question.] I'm not a scientist myself but it's supposed to allow you to observe what the human eye can't see. Examine cell in blood samples for instance.

But I guess the sensible answer would be if you're not sure if it's worth taking, you probably won't use it.

[As soon as she hears Shintaro's voice, along with his weapon, she quickly disconnects and moves back into her body. Her hands move quickly to cover her ears. That's even louder than when she messes with his computer!]

Uwahh! That's pretty effective! I'm impressed, master!

[Ene watches the scientists fumble with their weapons while simultaneously trying to cover their ears. By the looks of it, they hadn't expected a couple of slow-footed kids to be able to pull something like this off.]

[As soon as he's up and steady, Ene smiles. Her fake smile is strangely convincing, perhaps because she uses it all the time. But this time it seems just a touch too sinister. And it's made evident why when she suddenly winds her leg back and strikes out, kicking Kano hard in the shin.]

Yeah! That's for making everyone cry!

[She hunches her shoulders a little, breathing deeply. Well that was...deeply satisfying. And she kicks at his other shin for good measure.]

And that's for throwing me away.

[Okay. Now she's done.]

[personal profile] substitutable 2013-09-26 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm impressed too, honestly. This is my first time using it on anyone.

[It bemuses him how the sound has less effect on him. It still makes his head hurt but it should be nothing compared to the scientists', and he makes sure Ene's steady on her feet before letting her go.]

We have to move ahead. You screwed up their weapons, right?

[ Gold eyes are plenty weird and to date, she's probably only seen that combination twice— of which once was literally a couple of minutes ago. ]

Hair around [ she gestures ] this length?

Ed barely had time to fling an arm up in defense. He'd been led to expect something decidedly different in the split second before that sneeze happened, which should really have made it come as a relief, but somehow he was struggling to see it that way. Logically, he knew he couldn't just ask a dumb animal to, say, cover its damn mouth, and that just made it worse. If he wasn't sure whether the thing had been looking down on him before, he was positive now.

He stood up abruptly, grimacing with both distaste and (although there was no way he'd ever admit it) the effort it took. "What's your problem?" he snapped, far too sulkily to be anything but rhetorical.

[You don't have to hurry him. Luke's on the run and it feels just like old times. Visions of the Death Star corridors swim into his head and he pushes them back. Not the time.]

Yeah, I know, but still - let's try down here.

[His hands feel empty and he wishes he had a blaster.]
notadamnvampire: (hmph!)

[personal profile] notadamnvampire 2013-09-26 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm aware of that. [Don't let his outfit fool you. He's actually from 2013.] I just wasn't sure if it was something we needed... [Setting the cage aside for a moment, he goes to pick it up, and it's surprisingly heavy. Ugh. If he could use his powers here, this would be easy.] Forget it. It would only slow me down anyway.
yourdistraction: (and i grow so fearful)

[personal profile] yourdistraction 2013-09-26 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh!

[ Merrill quickly sits up straighter, smiling a little bit and despite the circumstances, it is partially genuine. Galadriel is a comforting presence, and she is always so beautiful. ]

Warden Cousland helped remove the bolts... I mean bullets, right? And she helped bandage me. I drank a potion, but I had only brought one with me, as I am trying to make them last for as long as possible.

[ She's reluctant to mention that she used blood magic for her main source of healing once out in the open again. She isn't ashamed, but there are times and places, and this is a crowded train... ]

Merrill just looks to Elissa, expecting her to know how best to cover Charles in this situation. She's the rogue! Merrill is not the best from a distance right now, anyway, and she thinks she should have brought a bow and arrow. She's no ranger, but she can use one semi-decently.

"I'll stay here!" She is too scared something could happen if she leaves now, like Fenris will disappear or the door will magically move somewhere else. Maybe this isn't the Fade, but the looks of it are so surreal it might as well be.

Besides, Charles shouldn't be long, right? How far back was that body now?


[ ooc; I DID NOT GET THIS NOTIF I'M SO SORRY. If you guys want to branch off just until they get the key that's fine with me, or we can timeskip, idc. ]

The one at the mansion? That was a surprise attack, we couldn't prepare for that well in advance.

[He's trying to lift some junk off the ground block anybody else from coming out.]
implying: (welp)

[ He's puzzled for a second — until the licking starts. He winces and would draw back if he could, but has to settle for a sinking of his ears. ]

It... would, I'm sure. Perhaps we might take a rain check, until such luxuries are available? [ He even sounds like his old self there for a second. licking is only cool when it's sexy licking, ok. ]
implying: (.that's a fine wall)

[personal profile] implying 2013-09-26 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't allow much time for catching breath, or even just rebalancing. One of his blades retracts with a hiss and a ring of steel on steel (strategy, he tells himself, it can be unwieldy for detail work — nothing to do with his reluctance to kill Fenris) and he slides forward, aiming for a metal-reinforced punch to the jaw. ]

[Once he's on his feet he opens his mouth--probably to crack a joke about how of course he'll do that, there's no need to worry--when Ene's kick lands.

It hurts. But he expected it to. It's what he anticipated when he saw the two come in, because there's no way they'd let him get off scotch-free. When the second kick comes he falls back down. It looks comical with the way he curls up into a ball on his back, grabbing his shins, groaning.]


--Ene's been training her feet, owowowowow...

[personal profile] charming_jerk 2013-09-27 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He raised an eyebrow.] Can you do that here? Do we got time for that? Not that this doesn't hurt like a son of a bitch or anythin'.
duplicitoussight: (Filling-in)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-09-27 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He meets her smile with a stronger one, bright and cheerful.]

Ah, that sounds more like Leader! But like I said earlier, like I said--a leader needs to make sure that she's fine, too.

Most of them don't. [ He knows that. Of course he knows that. He's been here long enough to see it before. To watch people die, to know people have killed before to save him, when he hasn't willing to do it.

He tilts his head up a little, because suddenly it's important to watch her expression. ]


But that doesn't make it okay, right?

Aren't we friends already?

[Not true friends, certainly not, since this incident proves that he isn't safe around them. He never was, not since he began lying and hiding right before their very eyes. But at the very least, it's nice to have someone to talk to and to be normal with, even if they're inherently abnormal.]

[Tess is right. Even in her current state, Momo can tell that Tess is right. She can't just stay here like this and wait for more soldiers to come after her. She can't freeze again, not the same way she did when... when Kido died. Her big brother isn't here to drag her back this time, after all.

Shakily, she pushes herself back up to her feet, then shakes her head.]
No... No. I-I can help more this way!
khajidont: (Beetle - Talking)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-09-27 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? You're from my world? [He has good idea of why she'd recognize his name, but not his appearance - not that he's terribly well known.]

You might be thinking of one of the Beetles who came before me.
