[The Murder Game Series] Murder: The Ties that Bind

[Reaper Jack]

A Crossed female caught the grenade, "Nnngh?" He held it close to her eyeball, just as... BOOM! It blew up in her face, blinding her in an inky darkness, she screamed, lobbing a stick of dynamite toward the point of origin: Emiya. A few others Crossed were blinded, too, most of them now firing blindly at the buses. Too fucked up on rage to determine a logical course of action.

Emiya did not fail to notice the grenade being caught, he had been watching it fly, as a result, he also noticed the dynamite that was flung back at him, he ran for the ditch by the side of the road, covering himself in the smoke; he encountered no Crossed on his immediate route.

Pressing both feet into the Brakes and Shifting Pedals, she brought the Bus to a screetching halt, turning the wheels sideways towards the railing, as the bus was starting to spin, threatening to crash as well, but thanks to her effort and skill, she was able to stop before going offroad, which would have been very troublesome right now. Besides the bulletholes that were created, more and more, from the shooting Crossed, the bus was fully functionable.


"Damn it! Why did we stop here?!"


Lambda yelled at the people behind her, who screamed at her to stop as Bus #2 was sent flying.


"We are sitting on a Silver Plate!"

 

[Dallas]

*I awoke to the smell of smoke...and the yelling of the man named Dandy. I slowly got up, looking at my hands, and noticing bits of glass at cut up the palms of my hands. I need to act fast, it was an ambush...and we are sitting ducks out here. I unhooked my mask from my belt loop, and pulled it over my head. I reached for my handgun, but, it was not there. I looked around for, but it was nowhere in sight. My last resort was my combat knife... Like it would do anything. I stayed low, and moved to the nearest cement barricade, and used it for cover.*

 

[JayJay]

Ellie screamed at Dandy "STAND STILL THEN! I'm trying to get a shot!"


She fired another round, this one hitting the boy in its back.


"Fuck!"


She exclaimed, keeping a close aim, but not risking to take another shot until she was sure she could hit it.


"Stand still!"

 

[Akibahara]

Ellie looked around desperately for a time, finally realizing that trying to find Katniss in this mess would lose her precious time.
Instead, her attention turned to Dandy, who was being attacked.


She reached for her pistol, quickly took aim and a couple of deep breaths.


It was hard to hit the Crossed boy with it moving about so violently, so her first shot missed its head, but zipped into its shoulder.

The boy howled in pain, giggling as his shoulder bled freely, some of it dribbling on Dandy's cheek, dangerously close to his left eyeball...

[QUOTE="Flaming Centurion]
"AHHH! Get off of me you brat!"
Dandy runs forward, leaning forward and runs into a sharp shard of metal sticking off the bus in an attempt to impale the boy.


"SOMEONE HELP ME!"

[/QUOTE]
SHHHRINK!


Congratulations, child killer! The bolt of metal tore straight through the boy's eyesocket, he gasped in surprise, the entire pole tore through the back of his head, spraying ooze and grey matter on the floor. He slid off, a gaping hole in his head, mouth agap.

 

[God_Of_Succ]

A Crossed boy, merely 5 years of age, pops out of the branches, plopping onto Dandy's shoulders, screaming like an animal, "Fucky! Die! Die! Die!" The child sported a sharpened tree branch, not enough to kill Dandy, but it was enough to cause some damage!

As Hatty Layed face First upon the Cold Ground, He soon Lifted his head To notice Dandy, with a Crossed boy Pounced up on Dandy's Sholders, Hatty Stood up and Called out to Dandy.


"Dear friend! Are you in quite the Spot of Bother currently right now? And Do you wish for me to take action?"


Hatty Asked, Oblivious to the Danger that Dandy is in.

*I was standing up when you pressed it so it sends me flying down the middle of the bus* Ahh! *my head hits the front next to where @TheGoldenWitch is sitting. I now lay knocked out*

 

[Flowershadow]

With Adachi having followed onto the bus, he tried getting some rest before he felt the bus suddenly being overturned and rolling, the sound of Emiya shouting getting his attention after he looked out the side of the bus that was facing upwards, seeing the massive amount of Crossed that were approaching as he moved quickly up and out of the bus after he saw the smokescreen created by Emiya. He climbed up and out of the bus as quickly as he could seeing the smoke being dense enough for him to be safe sight-wise for a moment. He sighed softly out of temporary relief as he reached into his suit, pulling out his revolver and checking the ammo in it before reloading, restocking the missing 4 bullets with ones he had on hand, clicking the ammunition into place and holding his revolver at the ready, keeping a wary eye out for anyone that could try to attack him. It seemed to him this was absolute, senseless chaos...the thought of that made him grin slightly, though, thinking of what could be done in this situation with him twirling his revolver around his left index finger.


Hehehe...this is gonna be fun. Perhaps some dead weight will finally be let go.





In his mind, he thanked Emiya for providing the smokescreen for the others to get out and into cover, him practically being forced to appreciate and respect his tactical and military mindset.

Ellie screamed at Dandy "STAND STILL THEN! I'm trying to get a shot!"
She fired another round, this one hitting the boy in its back.


"Fuck!"


She exclaimed, keeping a close aim, but not risking to take another shot until she was sure she could hit it.


"Stand still!"

"T-Thanks for trying to save me back there."

The boy howled in pain, giggling as his shoulder bled freely, some of it dribbling on Dandy's cheek, dangerously close to his left eyeball...
SHHHRINK!

Dandy lets out a huge sigh of relief.


"BOOYAH, Dandy 1, Zombie bastards 0!

 

[Akibahara]

[QUOTE="Lunar-Eclipse]Mikasa growled and stepped out of the bus. The disaster had only made things worse for her and her group. She needed to find a way back. She wanted things to return to normal and kill these damn crossed humans. They were this place's equivalent to titans and she despised it. She took off her cloak and unsheathed one of her blades from where it was kept on her side.

[/QUOTE]
A Crossed male, a teenager, approached Mikasa... he... had a staggering appearance that resembled Erin. Strikingly so. He giggled, 12-guage shotgun jiggling in his hands, "Wanna get fucked, bitch?" BOOOOM! He fired a buckshot towards Mikasa's midsection....

 

[Elondora]

​

The survivors hauled major ass into the buses, but not before looking back—Chris Redfield was left behind—the glass doors locked, his shoulder plowed into the casing, trying to shatter it open. CRAAAASH~ it exploded in a shower of shards, spraying onto the cement below, “Wai--”

“Fuckhooooole~”

A crowd of hands pulled him back far into the hellhole you escaped...

You saw Chris once more before you drove far, far away... he grinned, licking his own lips, intestines tussled in his palms as he cooed, “Shit goes in, shit goes oooooout~” It wasn't long before the Crossed tore him into shreds, alongside GlaDOS, Hei, The Hermit, Ahzek, and The Black Widow.

Wait, who could've locked that door?

Chris! Tears stream down Wynne's face as she watched him, her blue eyes reflected all that she knew of this young man, with so much life ahead of him. The grin on his face, the sick twisting of the person she knew. His grin stayed flickering in her eyes like the flame of the slow burning candles at the Circle--the tower of mages she belonged to. She remembered all the young faces she'd seen extinguished in her life, but Chris... She stared out that window. Her fingers were still covered in Ariel's blood, the stubs where her fingers had been were finally healed and not bleeding when they had to get out. Wynne tried to remember the last time her gown was not died black with the blood of the children that surrounded her. It had only been a few hours...not it felt like an eternity.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

A high-pitched hiss cut through the air like butter, launching an RPG rocket from an overpass above: A fucking ambush. The deafening explosion collided behind Bus # 2 undercarriage, rendering the Crossed male into a little more than spaghetti paste, the resulting shock-wave threw the bus on its side, rolling forward, end over end, until it collides with the Dam Power House. Ariel & James Earl Cash immediately plowed through the side-mirrors, colliding into the pavement below, near a reservoir of water.

​

The first bus comes to a screeching halt, only to be riddled with bullets by dozens of nearby, gun-totting Crossed.


Inhabitants from either Bus # 1 or, sideways Bus # 2, examine their surroundings:


You find yourself next to the Hoover Dam Power House. All mechanical energy is converted into hydroelectric currents here. The Crossed, of course, are pouring out of the Power House entryway by the hundreds – possibly by a set of elevators leading up into areas of the Dam – equipped with a variety of firearms, blunt weapons, and an explosive here and there.

The explosion snapped her out of her sorrow. Wynne looked around. She was trapped inside of the bullet-ridden bus. She didn't know when they stopped spinning, but she stayed down, clutching her staff, looking around her. Quickly she ordered herself to heal the bus, but there was not much she can do. Gold shot out of her staff, weaving it's way into a beautiful magic circle beneath then. She sighed and released all of that energy to heal the people on the bus. They would all, at least, survive.


Slowly she started making her way toward the door. She had to get to the other bus.

[Yuuki Tatsunohi]

Ryuuko, her head still spinning from the bus rolling over, kicked open q nearby window almost off its hunges and climbed out, pulling the silver case right after her. She heard Emiya yell for everyone to get out and wasted no time in jumping off the bus and pulled out her sword. There was a loud boom and the area was covered in smoke. Ryuuko blindly ran dodging and slicing at any Crossed who came too close. In the smoke she spotted a figure and was prepared to kill when the figure came into full view, a guy named Dandy fighing off sone child. There was a pop and the chikd was dead falling off Dandy, curtesy of the Ellie.


"Dandy you okay?"

Rata-tat-tat-tat! Eight Crossed males, all sporting M4 Carbines approached Dallas, giggling as the rounds zoomed past his ears, tearing pretty fuckin' large holes into his barricade...

Ellie quickly ran to the man who tried to hit on Katniss earlier, knowing that even his company would be better than none at all.


She stood by his side, turning to the horde of crossed and firing a few more rounds, taking two of them down before her clip was empty.


"Don't mention it. What do we do now though?"

"Because the stupid people on the bus behind us got blown up!" With that she stuck her tongue out at those already crowding out of the second bus, then grabbing the mummy's arm and pulling him out with her as she jumped out the back. "C'mon Amumu! It's time to kill!" The mummy, now named Amumu, gasped as he was pulled from the bus, though landed on his feet and vigilantly followed beside Annie as she skipped past the first bus. Was Annie still humming? Yes. Yes she was. This was nothing more than a normal weekend for her. Sweet, sweet, carnage!

"Ugh..." Dandy wipes some blood off his face.


"Yeah, I think, thanks for caring about me."


Dandy winces as he plucks some glass from his arm and takes cover

 

[Akibahara]

Ariel had screamed.
Her body was crippled, lying on the ground, blood flowing through every pore of her body.


Pain.


It controlled her. Immense pain all throughout her right side. She was sure there was a piece of glass there somewhere- in her ribcage, in her solar plexus. Her right hand, with it's newly cut off fingers hand had hit the concrete hard, and she knew there were a few cracked ribs.


Anguish.


The people in the busses were screaming. Crossed everywhere. No-one noticing her fiery red hair blending into the flames emitted from the bus. She was sure they were going to die. She was going to die. Eric wasn't there, her father wasn't there. Her legs, bleeding from scrapping the concrete and probably something else.


Terror.


A Crossed notices Ariel. She looks up, scared. It holds a gun.


Death.


She could almost feel it. The bullet was going to pierce through her body soon. She was ready to say goodbye to the strange world she had entered. How would she of survived anyway?


More pain.


She feels herself getting pushed by someone. The murderer. The bullet is fired, but it doesn't hit her.


Water.


Ariel's body rolls into the water.


Darkness.

The Crossed held a revolver in tow, "Hrrrn?" He paused, eyes scanning the large stream of water for the Little Mermaid, "Come out, come out wherever you are. I just wanna fuck your holes! Hnnh, hnnh, hnnh..."

Ellie quickly ran to the man who tried to hit on Katniss earlier, knowing that even his company would be better than none at all.
She stood by his side, turning to the horde of crossed and firing a few more rounds, taking two of them down before her clip was empty.


"Don't mention it. What do we do now though?"

"Now, we shoot the bastards remaining!"


Dandy blindly fires his ray gun into the direction of the Crossed.

[QUOTE="Reaper Jack]Emiya did not fail to notice the grenade being caught, he had been watching it fly, as a result, he also noticed the dynamite that was flung back at him, he ran for the ditch by the side of the road, covering himself in the smoke; he encountered no Crossed on his immediate route.

[/QUOTE]
The explosion detonated, rocking the rear of Bus #1 on it's side. Whatever the Crossed had was pretty fuckin' heavy duty. FWOOOOOM! Just as... an RPG shot from an overpass above, the same fuckin' one that downed the other bus.

 

[Verite]

Shiki was practically hyperventilating at this point. He was breathing rapidly, but he did his best to calm himself down. This was no time to panic. Knowing that he'd have to fight, he knew that desperate times called for desperate measures, and those measures included his Mystic Eyes. But before he could take his glasses off, he heard the demanding shout of Emiya jolt him back to reality. Of course. With or without Mystic Eyes or the Nanaya training, he was no match against the Crossed if they had guns. His Flash Run could do some damage, but they'd have to be close enough for him to perform it without having too much strain on his body. After all, the human body was never designed to move at the speed of sound.


Doing as Mr. Emiya instructed, he rushed behind the bus and stood there, trying his best to calm himself down. He could feel his vision gradually reddening; it was the same shade of red. His hand subconsciously reached for his knife should anything happen. After Emiya threw the smoke grenade, he did as he was told and began to make his way to the powerhouse, quickly pocketing his glasses and swapping them for his knife. And then they appeared. The lines of death. The points of death. The human mind was not made to comprehend death on this scale, so he'd have to put his glasses back on quickly.


Those bastards... they should all just disappear. I'll erase them all...





Since they were all wielding guns, he needed to go faster than they could shoot him. He had never performed this kind of trick before, but there's a first time for everything. Flash Run. His body disappeared for an instant and then reappeared a mere three feet from his original position. Flash Run. He repeated the process again. As one of the Crossed began to get in his way, he held up his knife, comprehending the many Lines of Death that his Mystic Eyes comprehended. Flash Run. From what the naked eye would see, it would look as if he had simply fazed through the Crossed man, but in reality, his body moved at the speed of sound for an instant, and with minimal effort, traced a line of death that ran across the man's face. And just like that, the top half of the man's head fell off, before his whole body fell down, the brain effectively dead for all intents and purposes.





Body is getting tired. Flash Run is taking a toll, even with only moving a minimal amount of space. Need to find a place to hide and recover from there.





Quickly scanning his environment, he began sprinting towards a small ditch, performing something of a combat roll towards it once he got close enough. Laying there, he began to realize he was panting at an accelerated rate. His breathing was so ragged he could throw up. His body was pushed to its limits, and it hadn't even been five minutes.

 

[God_Of_Succ]

Hatty Shrieked Out of fear, He Sprinted away, attempting to avoid any Conflict with The Crossed, He took cover behind a Small Pile of rubble, Revealing only his hat from behind The Rubble, He snickered to Himself.


"Hah! They'll never find me here!"

 

[The Golden Witch]

The explosion detonated, rocking the rear of Bus #1 on it's side. Whatever the Crossed had was pretty fuckin' heavy duty. FWOOOOOM! Just as... an RPG shot from an overpass above, the same fuckin' one that downed the other bus.

"Alright we are not staying here! I'll give you people a choice! Either we abandon Bus #2, regroup in a safer place and try again, or some of us go out there, like Annie just now did and try to get as many as possible into this Bus, WITHIN 2 MINUTES!"


She yelled at the people in her Bus, seeing how they would decide, since this wasn't the time to dilly dally right now.

 

[Jeremiah]

The explosion detonated, rocking the rear of Bus #1 on it's side. Whatever the Crossed had was pretty fuckin' heavy duty. FWOOOOOM! Just as... an RPG shot from an overpass above, the same fuckin' one that downed the other bus.

Annie wasn't fazed by the bus tipping over just beside her, while the mummy Amumu looked pretty frightened by the sight. He jumped a step away from the tipped bus, then looking ahead at Annie still skipping along, rushing back to her side hurriedly. She didn't notice.

 

[JayJay]

Ellie found cover behind one of the bus' double seats that had flown away from the interior.


From there, she put her backpack on the ground and looked through it.


She pulled out a revolver, a weapon she almost never used, since she didn't like the way her arm would get pushed back when she fired it.


She sat on her knees, taking aim at the horde again and firing at a very slow rate, taking down six more.


There was not a moment when she wasn't looking around for a face she trusted though.


Katniss, Clementine, Luke... Any one of them would've been a welcome sight to see.


But she knew Katniss was on the other bus, and she hadn't talked to neither Clem nor Luke on her own bus.


Cursing herself for being so bad at making friends, she started clumsily reloading her firearms.

 

[SirDerpingtonIV]

(Friggin alerts.) Spy, still invisible, fell back from the busses, leaving the others behind. He got behind the Crossed Ambush, and readied his weapons. While invisible, he used his disguise kit for a Crossed male, grey hair, 5'3. He hid behind arock, out of sight, before going uninvisible. "HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH HAHAHAHAHAHA!" he giggled, a perfect imitation of a crossed. He had a revolver in hand. He stood, seemingly going to snipe the survivors below, before turning, and blowing holes in the heads of 6 Crossed near him. He went invisisble again, running away.
