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.

He slammed his foot down to dislodge a large slab of cement. With his powers, he sent it flying at the remaining beasts and supporting columns. The ceiling above them shook and pieces of it began to fall off. The beasts yelped and tried to find a way out but they were disorientated from everything that was going on. Some yelped in surprise while the other got struck by the failing debris.

Tenjou grabbed onto nearest column as the building began to cave in. Clouds of dust were kicked up. He was still worried for Ico and used his powers to shield him from any stray planks that looked like they were going to hit the kid.

Ico kept his head down to protect himself against the falling debris, yet none came. The building was shaking now. Soon, the entire floor would collapse. He did not know the full extent of Tenjou’s powers and so he did not want to risk staying in here.

“This way!” Ico tried to grab his hand and lead him out. The windows were out of the question, the fall would kill the average person. He went to the side of the building that had the gouge from the ox-beast.
