EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

[initiatesnpc]

Date & Time: October 24 - October 31
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ALL; tag yourselves in
Summary: The Transports return from their mission to find the island crawling with monsters.
Warnings: Violence, possibly injuries (notify a mod if there's cause to add a particular warning!)

The Transports return from their mission to Medieval Russia, but the Initiative Hold is eerily deserted. Normally, their would be a number of Initiative personnel prepared to meet the Transports at the end of their mission for debriefing.

Instead, there is only silence.

That is, until a distant thumping sound can be heard. It is growing closer, and suddenly the beast is bursting into the room. It lets out a roar and charges. Within minutes, it is easily defeated, but damage has already been done -- it collided with the Transporter machine, which is now making a low fizzling sound and lets off a couple sparks. The commotion is enough to draw the attention of the few remaining Initiative personnel who still inhabit the Hold, who arrive immediately afterwards. They are able to tell the Transports two things: that the machine is broken and currently unable to sent anyone back in time, and that the island has been overrun with aggressive, mutated beasts sent by the United Earth. They have been under siege for months, with the island's population reduced to a mere fraction of what it had once been.

She was still doubtful but if he really insisted. She was not here to argue against those who wanted to throw their life away. She was here to make sure those who should not have had faced danger continue to be safe.

"There is a stick behind you if that would be helpful."

"A stick? Yeah I don't think that's gonna cut it." He picked himself up a twisted piece of metal wreckage, about the size of a baseball bat. "Guess this'll have to do. Shit. What even are these things?" He started eying up a charging monster. He should be able to handle this... he thinks.

"They seem to be mutated creatures and other unknown organisms. But the details can be found out later as right now keeping them away is more of a priority," she didn't seem overly concerned about them, but then for the moment she wanted to know if he would be alright on his own. If for any moment he looked unable to defend himself she would step in.

He flipped the piece of metal around in his hands to get a feel for it before nodding in approval. "Nasty things we gotta kill. I got it." And with that, Johnny darted off towards the nearest one. He was a fast runner, and caught up to them quickly. He immediately set to swinging at it ferociously, but it was debatable how long he'd keep going. It's a good thing he has very good stamina, but it's been run down after the week of fighting soldiers back during the mission - something he definitely was over his head fighting compared to monsters.

[yamaxanadu]

Rather reckless, and she had her doubts about how long he could keep that up. She could see a surge of more of them coming up to overwhelm, very very reckless.

"You should really assess your surroundings better before running straight in," it was almost a sigh, but it was the only warning before she sent a stream of gold colored objects towards the new monsters approaching It stopped them all very quickly.

Johnny was just about to take a swing when the magic hits the creatures ahead of him. He scowled.

"Damnit! I said I got this!" He went in swinging, anyway. Whatever was still standing was getting hit.

[yamaxanadu]

"You have what's before you, getting yourself overrun will simply kill you," she only dealt with the minimum, if he wanted a hard fight he could have it, but she wasn't going to allow him to be too foolish.
