Millennium City: Nova - A grocery trip to the local supermarket


  • As the buggy was rampaging through the first response was, maybe unsurprisingly, from the veteran Master Sergeant. Using the added stability by sitting down he was able to shoot several precision shots towards the armed assailant and though most of the shots missing due to the moving target one bullet found it's way into the lower left eye of alien. Surprisingly not only it survived the shot, but after losing an eye it's smile of enjoyment only grew. "They are fighting back? Huh even with their flimsy weapons they still are trying to stop their massacre, good.".

    As he says that a knife from Shilo flies and hits in the chest area, the knife does not penetrate as it didn't have enough strength behind it but it does break some of the scales of the alien revealing an opening in its armor. The alien though clearly doesn't even notice possibly inferring to Shilo that maybe it doesn't have any sensory nerves on the outside of its shell.

    Next person to take a stab at attacking the now apparent red behemoth was maxwell's shadow. As the Alien was continuing its machine gun fire the serpentine shadow saw an opportunity to attack. The alien spotted the attack but it didn't even bother to turn it' head as it used one of it's lower 4 arms to slap away the incoming shadow a good 5 feet away.

    As Handsome Jack's pistol shots missed Delsin sneak attack begun. As Delsin planned he was able to take the attention of Alien when appearing behind of him, as he threw the chains the alien caught them using its arms, however, that let it open to attack letting the cinder missile hit it behind the head, resulting in most of the scales on the back of its head to break.

    But before he could rejoice in his win little Asuka's big mech caught up to the buggy and then proceeded to punch a hole, breaking one the wheel axels, making the car begin to spin out of control. A hectic movement only increased when the buggy drove over the explosive bullet making the car flip over and crash land into a small corner shop.

    A few seconds pass and then the lower end of the car get's kicked open as the alien carrying the machine gun a hooded figure, possibly the driver walk inside of the shop taking cover.



 
Baiken

The samurai had observed, but it was already too late for her to make the action that Delsin had ordered, even Jak. With the four-armed ketchup bottle now hiding inside a store along with possibly the driver of the buggy, without warning, Baiken 'casually' walks over towards the store. If that alien pops out and starts raining hell, she would quickly draw her sword out and slash her way towards him. If that works successfully, she would then burst into the store through the window and cut the alien down without hitting the captive.

For the first time since her last day at preschool, Asuka felt good; managing to deal a blow to the heartless, psychotic four-armed creature was a far cry from sitting out an entire battle. As she watched the buggy spun out of control, she stopped, watching it drive into an explosive bullet’s radius, causing it to crash land into a shop. A smile was beginning to form on her face, but before it could fully do so, it turned out that it was not the end for the monster as he rose from the wrecked car with the machine gun. Not only that, but she spotted a hooded figure helping him hide inside said shop, making her suspicious of the figure, as she asked herself why that person would help him if he’s a bad guy. Then as she was about to lunge towards the two, she was interrupted by the American SOG agent opening fire once again towards the two bad guys.

Breathing sharply via her nose, she took a sharp turn towards Woods, who was opening fire on both the four-armed person and the hooded figure. Then she turned back towards the store and noticed that Baiken was rushing towards the same two targets with a katana in her only hand, leaving herself potentially open to friendly fire if not careful. Now, she was down to two choices; either stand back or help Baiken, and yet, she did not want to repeat her mistake during the fight with Stroheim, even though the defeat of the Nazi scientist was a foregone conclusion. So she chose the latter and began heading towards the red psycho and hooded figure, breaking into a sprint as she aimed to bring the two down. However, insteadof running in a straight line, she went around Frank’s line of fire and headed towards the shop from there.

Once she was there, the little Asuka that could would attempt to put up a fight with them, aiming to land a few punches and kicks, while attempting to avoid imgetting into the one-armed samurai and Woods’ ways. If successful, she would manage to get in at least a few punches and kicks as described. If not, and at the unluckiest possible, she would be facing two injuries from two different sides, and that’d be two bad for her.​

Lucario

Lucario lowered his paw back down to the ground to help get his quivering body off the ground. At that point, he couldn't tell whether his shaking was stemming from his fear, or his anger. Slowly but surely, the Lucario balanced himself on his feet, the sounds of the battle becoming distant echoes. He was still in this odd, purple world where he had no power... no power whatsoever over the battle. He was helpless.

"Is this some sort of cruel joke...?" Lucario sobbed before his eyes immediately turned to the hooded man who was exiting the destroyed vehicle, courtesy of Asuka.

The hooded man in question instead appeared as a sort of awkward blob of darkness that strayed away from the orb that Lucario was imagining. The blob of darkness began to take on a red hue, and in mere moments, it was glowing a confident pink. The core, he realized. The Aura Pokemon felt its numerous, combined voices calling out to him in a collective taunt, telling him he could never dream to permanently get rid of them.

"yOu WerE alWayS wEaK," it -- no, they -- said. The canine took a subconscious, fearful step back, more tears beginning to flood his eyes. N-no... this isn't real... this isn't real... this isn't real... he repeated in his mind. His own words weren't enough. "MORe aRe DeAD beCauSE yOU coULDn'T Do ANythING aBoUt IT," the core of that monstrosity said.

In his heart, Lucario knew they were right. He had always felt helpless, constantly relying on others to pick him up and reassure him. His boss always praised him for his confidence and ability to bounce back after being thrown down, but the Aura Pokemon saw it differently. That power, that mental state didn't come from Lucario, but the people around him. When he saw others getting up, then he got up. When everyone was down, then... then he could've just keeled over and withered away, knowing he would fare no better and end up failing everyone.

Except...

Lucario felt an odd sensation all over his body, prompting him to look down and inspect himself. Strangely, his body had begun to glow a subtle white. Out of nowhere, however, his feet was covered in some sort of multi-colored energy, which quickly moved up his body to consume him. It wasn't hurting him, no. The energy was instead making gradual changes to his body: his feet became red and spiked, much like his paws (which had also grown more spikes and gained a red hue) and chest. His tail became surrounded in the fur from his torso and became much more bushy than dog-like. The appendages on the back of his head grew out more, and the fur around his neck became more pronounced.

Mega Evolution... Lucario realized as the glow faded away, leaving his new form for the others to see. Though Lucario felt a new strength inside of him, he was unaware that none of this was real- the others would be seeing him as he looked normally.

But that strength rekindled something inside of him. The words he yelled out at the buggy held a new weight now. No more was he emptily promising that the driver would be hurting others. No. Lucario would ensure it.

Without a second thought, Lucario sprinted off after the driver at frightening speeds. "HOW USELESS!" He screamed after him, blindly shooting another surprisingly destructive Aura Sphere at the store with no regards to who else might be in there.

Delsin Rowe Location= 52 Grapevine St. Northeast - Outside
Condition= In Combat/Negligibly Wounded/Freaking Out

Interaction The alien grabbed Delsin's chains, but when Delsin saw the German girl's mech coming in for attack, Delsin knew that it wouldn't end well if he stayed. He Smoke Dashed off the buggy as fast as he could and landed nearby as the mech suit punched a hole in the car and sent it crashing into a nearby shop. Soon enough, the four armed monster, now missing an eye, stepped out, as well as a hooded figure that went to hide in the wrecked shop. Baiken was quick to act, walking towards the crash site, while the US Soldierboy was shooting at the store. "BAIKEN!!!" Delsin swore that if she got caught up in the melee like in the battle with the Nazi cyborg, things will not end well for anyone. Okay, this is manageable. Just have to help get Baiken out of there and...WHAT THE HECK??? On top of the friendly fire incident waiting to happen, the friggin Lucario went Super Saiyan or something started shooting explosive balls of energy at the store.

Okay, Delsin. Think about this. Is it really worth it risking you life for this chick you just met He glanced over at Baiken and made up his mind, Smoke Dashing towards the building while firing a number of Smoke Shots past Baiken at the four armed alien. Aaannnnd I really am...nice going, smart guy... Delsin materialized next to Baiken, and shouted, "Baiken, watch out for friendly fire! I really don't want a repeat of our last fight!" Delsin then fired off his second Cinder Missile at the red menace's chest, where there seemed to be some scales missing, before grabbing Baiken's shoulder to keep her from walking into the Aura Blast from Lucario.

His EXPLOSIVE shot ran into the car, and that flipped it over, and crashed into what looked like a shop. No shop that Corvo has seen, but that goes without saying. He left the cover of the building as he saw the monster and some hooded figure, likely the driver, retreat into the aforementioned store. He'd fire more EXPLOSIVE shots into the store to take them out, but people began running in there. Now, at first it was just the one-armed chick who shot a cannonball at the big robot, so he still would have shot into the store. However, the little girl in the small robotic suit ran into the store to fight as well, and he didn't want to hit her. So he didn't fire any more shots, and instead positioned himself in a way so that the buggy was between Corvo and the machine-gun maniac. The assassin, however, stayed distant from the crashed car.
His arm was still bleeding, sure, but it was a minor gunshot wound to the arm, so it isn't that bad, certainly survivable. His biggest problem would be an infection at this point, and he is pretty certain this city has phenomenal health care. So he isn't all that worried about it. The Royal Protector clutches the wound though, trying to stanch the bleeding for as long as he can, until he needs to fight again. Looking back at the battlefield, he quickly assesses his situation. Unfortunately, the store is on a corner, so there won't be any back entrance to speak of. On the other hand, that means their opponents have only one way out: right into their trigger-happy assailants. Corvo stayed put where he was, in cover, ready to fire in case one of those monsters comes out of the store. Any shots he'd fire in the little shop would only cause damage to his allies, so that was out of the question. Instead, he might as well address his wound as he waits. Corvo takes the belt meant to hold his crossbow and winces as he raps it around the bullet hole, tight. It would be better to let it bleed a little, to decrease the chance of infection, but Corvo wasn't a doctor, so not like he'd know. Besides, at this point, infection was the least of his worries.

Jak eyed the others as the 4 armed freak ran into the store. However the eco warrior worried about his allies more at the moment. Delsin got Balkin out of the way of what looked like Lucario blasting the store.

He looked at the Hedgehog lady and shook his head "Sorry, got bigger fish to fry."

It's then when Jak started to take a run toward where Lucario seemed to be shooting a normal Aura Blast at the store.

Jak growled, in his dark form. No way was he going to tackle this guy with four arms with just a gun.

"ROARRR!"

~Shilo Saga~
Interactions: Handsome Jack ( Rhysie Rhysie ) Frank Woods ( FactionGuerrilla FactionGuerrilla )
Mentions: Alien ( Daunting_Doggo Daunting_Doggo ), Baiken ( Zamasu Zamasu ), and Asuka ( marc122 marc122 )

Location: The Street

"Attack now, ask stupid questions later." Shilo said in response to Handsome Jack. She looked at him and smirked mischievously, making it rather obvious that this was rather fun for her despite the impending doom and the horribly gory deaths of innocent bystanders. This wasn't her world and she still wasn't quite sure all of this was real, so she didn't really have the heart to care about it at the moment. Besides, they were already dead, the only thing the group could do now was avenge the dead, which they would. Shilo watched as her dirk hit the alien's chest and bounces off, followed by a few of the protective, red scales. The assassin narrowed her eyes, memorizing the spot she had hit. Her ego wasn't hurt by the lack of damage, after all it had been a knife that she'd thrown opposed to a heavy hitting gun, and besides, the creature had just taken a shot to the eye and was still fine, so she really hadn't expected her knife to do all that much. However, she now knew where she could make future attacks to try and cause more damage.

The assassin was about to take off after the buggy when it flipped into a store. She watched as the hooded figure helped the four armed beast into the shop. Shilo stopped, knowing that now she was in between the enemy and her allies, and that could lead to a dangerous situation for her. The raven haired woman turned only to see Baiken run past her after the alien and whomever had helped him, putting herself into the exact same danger of friendly fire that Shilo was in... however, Baiken should know better as she had been a victim of the last fight's friendly fire fiasco... The assassin was about to turn and walk away without a second thought the the samurai's well being when she saw Asuka and her mech suit head after her. Shilo played the situation out in her head again. She had stopped a punch from Asuka before and knew that, despite the girl's young age, she had decent ability and knew how to handle the mech suit.

After great consideration, Shilo scoffed and turned back around to run back to the group, noticing Woods on the ground she hurried to him, sure to stay out of his line-of-sight, and stopped beside him. "His chest has a weak spot now." Shilo informed him. "I honestly don't know how much it will do, since a head shot apparently does fuck all, but at least it's another area that could cause some damage. Center of his chest, where his heart could be." The assassin wasn't going to reenter the fight until it became hand-to-hand or someone gave her gun, because she wasn't about to risk her life to friendly fire and she didn't trust anyone here enough not to shoot her. If Xander was here, then hell yeah she'd be in there, but for now she would sit back and provide some ideas for strategy until she felt safe to re-enter the fight.
 
As unfortunate as it was to have his shadow smacked away, it was a reason for relief that Maxwell himself didn't get involved. "To me." He called, shadow retreated back to it's master as incoming fire came.
"I Wouldn't want to get caught in the cross fire." The puppet master decided that watching to see what would happen would be best for now, after all he didn't want to get riddled with any more bullets.
"At least it has a few weak points now, and it's car isn't going anywhere." Maxwell noted the chink in the monsters' armor and the fact that it might not be able to see as well without an eye, added on by thr fact it had a patch of scales missing. Targetting it's eyes or the point scales were missing would be effective for attacks.

A swirling purple mist descends from the sky, swallowing the light around it as it slams into the ground, sending out billowing swarms of purple smoke, a tall figure forming and immediately holding his palms towards the enemies of the group, soft purple light engulfing them as they vanish from sight.
Turning to the group, the figure extends his hands once again, that purple glow engulfing everyone's vision before it went...black

"You've made quite a mess"

"Nothing I can't fix though. Consider these two as payment for this little incident" The figure holsters his pistol slowly, drawing a lighter from his pocket and shaking his head as he flips the cap open "Mortals...Can't even go shopping without causing absolute chaos in the streets" he flicks the wheel and the light explodes back to life, leaving them in the street, any evidence of their conflict gone. People didn't look at them twice, and the damage to their surroundings was gone.

"That was your get out of jail free card. Next time, you're going to have to pay the piper"

He pauses and chuckles quietly as he digs into his pocket, pulling a small handful of bills and snapping his fingers as they appear in the hands of the group "Speaking of payment. Here's your change"
