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

[Jeremiah]

[QUOTE="The Golden Witch]Turning the key, Lambda tried turning the engine back on, which died during the swift dodging maneuver. -Vrrr.. Vrrr... VrrrrRRRRRR-
At the third turn, the engine luckily sprung back to life, meaning that they were able to get out of here for now. Looking back into her bus, Lambda tried to make out, as to how many people were inside and who wasn't.


"Last CHANCE! I'll drive this bus away in a couple of seconds, so make up your mind and get on or get left behind! It's too dangerous here!!"


She had raised her voice to a rather loud one, which was able to be heard inside the bus, as well as the area around it, as some of the windows inside were open.


This was the last chance for anyone NOT aboard the bus, to get out of here.

[/QUOTE]
She quickly shrieked at the driver, flames flowing up around every inch of her being, clearly angry. "Coward! You would leave others to save yourself?!" Woah, where was this coming from? Even Amumu and Tibbers looked at Annie, shocked. "Heheehahahahaha! Maybe we should throw you out there and use you as bait?! How's that sound for a plan?!" She swiftly channeled her anger into her flames, firing it into the crowd of Crossed, blowing them back and causing intense burns upon their skin. Tibbers shrugged and began clearing a path through them for the bus, clotheslining through them with a roar. It seems it was the bear who had the better intentions this time. The mummy Amumu ran in as well, just his very presence causing strange tears to fall from the Crossed's eyes, allowing him good opportunities to knock them down.

Only seconds away from the bus, Ellie unfortunately tripped, rolling over a few times.


She got up again as quickly as she could, though too late, the fire from the flamethrower had barely touched her left leg when she started running again, her jeans burning.


Ten seconds after she heard the bus again, she finally arrived.


Panting too hard to say anything, she just collapsed right in front of the door, and used her hands to quickly pat out the starting fire on her jeans.


When that was done, she got up on her knees, panting too hard to say anything.


She looked at the blonde girl in all pink, frowning and giving holding a hand up, signaling her to wait as she tried to catch her breath.

Good you made it *pats her* thought I would have to help you

 

[Akibahara]

[QUOTE="Reaper Jack]Grimacing at the wound, Emiya rushed forwards, he'd taken worse, he'd make it through this. He threw another smoke grenade in front of him with his good arm, perfectly placed to allow him into the powerhouse; any Crossed who he came across received a slew of Calico rounds and were eviscerated.

[/QUOTE]
If you're not aware, the powerhouse was massive. Yes, you blocked out a portion of the insides, perhaps half if you're lucky, but not all of it. Hell, you may have just pissed off a few Crossed in the process. Ohp, you did. In response, due to the fact the BSAA had a nice appearance inside, a volley of 7 grenades lobbed themselves from the windows, straight toward Emiya...

 

[God_Of_Succ]

"C'mere yah little shit!"

Boom. Boom!

​

The large Crossed male attempted to ram his fist into Hatty's abdomen, if successful, the least he'd have is his air knocked out, possibly bruising, ruptures...

Due to Hatty's small size, He managed to avoid the Fist, Also Stumbling to the Surprise attack, Hatty Grew quite irritated.


"Please don't Touch my Beautiful hat, You tub of Lard!" Hatty Calmly Insulted the Large Crosed

@The Golden Witch

Lambdadelta just looked into the rearview mirror and around outside every window. Crossed, Crossed everywhere, closing in, ever so fast. It was then, that she had to make the choice. Wait for the other Survivors or hit the Gas and retreat to safety for now??

 

[LunarDiscord]

Hehe...oh, don't worry, I don't have that rash, y'see? Now, don't go and die on me now. I'd hate to lose a good woman like yourself falling to these morons like a bitch.



He chuckled in quite the sinister manner popping out the ammunition slots and looking at his full ammo in what almost looked to be wonder while gazing over from the side of the bus, a sinister grin on his face as he was waiting for another Crossed to poke their head out and let him pop their brains into nothing more than chunks of grey matter.

" Right... you don't " She said, although it was obvious, hearing Adach say it himself was oddly calming, " Well at least he's fine.... wait. Did he just call me a good woman? " Claire clearly not at one hundred percent emotional stability found herself blushing a bit, she couldn't remember the last time someone complimented her genuinely like that, besides her brother, it was just men hitting on her really. She then realized how stupid thoughts like that could get her killed in this situation, deciding to thank Adachi for that later , so she wouldn't "Go and die on him" as he put it, because she didn't want to be a bitch either. With her Beretta having a fresh clip inside, she looked around the other side of the bus, opposite of the detective, keeping watch.

 

[Dallas]

Boom.

​

The explosion shattered the Crossed, blowing chunks of all nine insurgents into so much guts, gore, and... everything.. the Dam was in fucking chaos. The Crossed, a few players injured, and just shit hitting the fan in general. BOOM! A rifle butt met Dallas' cheek, who the fuck was that?

"Surprise asshole."​

*The rifle butt that met my face caused me to stumble to my left. I tried to figure out who in the hell just hit me... My vision was blurry, only a damn Cloaker could do that much in a single hit...*

<-- This is a Cloaker.


*I got back on my feet, and stood up straight. My vision cleared...and I saw the one man I would have never expected... Chains. I dropped my M4 on the ground, and my knife. I removed my mask, and set it down next to my equipment. "You always said that you wanted to brawl with me Chains, I always heard you talking about behind my back in the safe house. Well, now's that chance. Come on you big fuck, fight me... Fists only..." I said, while readying my fists.*

@The Golden Witch

"Ah. Welcome back." Luke said in between breaths, as Clementine fell into her seat.

 

[Akibahara]

Shiki would instantaneously feel better as a result of the healing spell, though he couldn't get a good look at Wynne, so he took a brief moment to wonder why his body suddenly felt better, but he wasn't going to complain. Sitting up, he began to look around, examining his surroundings. His head was hurting a bit, but whatever healed him, it managed to relieve his headache a bit for now. He could now live to comprehend death for a few more moments. Looking around, he could see the lines of death cover the bodies on everyone in the area; the Crossed and the allies alike, provided they were of Earth/Gaia. But then--
"Gah!" Yelping in surprise, Shiki leaped out of the way of the bullets as best as he could. This was bad. He was now at a disadvantage, or so he thought. Due to the healing spell, he was capable of performing a few more bursts of Flash Run. He'd have to take care of the hostile forces quickly, else he'd have several more holes in his body than he needed.


Quickly popping out of cover, he began to run towards the four men. It didn't matter who they once were; they were already dead, and they would die again. Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were capable of bypassing any protection; whether it be armor or magical barriers. The longer he had his glasses off, the more the other guy began take over Shiki's persona.


Flash Run. Seventeen Divisions.





As his body temporarily disappeared, moving at the speed of sound, he had sliced one of the Crossed men up, dismantling him into seventeen pieces of flesh. He counted each individual slice and where they all hit. His eyes were low and dark, like he was already someone else entirely.





Neck, back of the head, right eye, lips, upper right arm, lower right arm, left elbow, left thumb, from the rib to the heart, left middle finger, left part of the chest, stomach to abdomen, groin, thigh, leg, toe, everything.





As the blood of the first Crossed sprayed all over the other allies, getting in one of the men's eyes, Shiki didn't take a moment to recover, dashing forward and slicing the second man's head in half, tracing the line his Mystic Eyes saw of course, before moving on ahead and slicing the third man's arm off, and then decapitating him with a clean slice through the neck. The last one, he didn't need to slice. Because his Mystic Eyes had been out in the open for so long, the points of death became visible. Stabbing a point of death meant absolute death; the erasing of one's concept.


"Disappear," he coldly said, before stabbing the point of death on the last man; his heart.





Need to relocate, find more cover. Finding more allies is ideal.

(( Damn son. Nice post, get with the others.))

If you're not aware, the powerhouse was massive. Yes, you blocked out a portion of the insides, perhaps half if you're lucky, but not all of it. Hell, you may have just pissed off a few Crossed in the process. Ohp, you did. In response, due to the fact the BSAA had a nice appearance inside, a volley of 7 grenades lobbed themselves from the windows, straight toward Emiya...

Emiya saw the explosives coming in, and backtracked, pretty damn fast. Flipping his body round before the grenades came within 10 metres of him, he shifted back another 8 metres before circling round what he estimated to be the grenade's rough blast radii; he might still take a few shrapnel hits, but he should make it. He continued towards the first Bus.

 

[Xibilation]

Stay, indeed. Safe? Nope. Fuck no. She felt the palms of a Crossed grip her tail, followed by a knife plunge into it's scaly hide, "Oooh! Mommy! Mommy! Look what I found! A mermaid to fuck!" Of course, he was a fully-grown man, but a mermaid? C'mon, wouldn't you do that, too? He unzipped his pants, ready to defile the poor Ariel...

Ariel screamed as the knife had drove into her tail, feeling as if she had just gulped down a shot of fire. The Crossed had started to unzip his pants, and Ariel frantically waved her tail around, trying to swim away. She did not want to see two male's dingle dangle in one day.


Nuh uh.


Her blood was starting to seep through the water around her, and fish swim towards her, drawn to the blood.


"Blub blub blub blub!" She exclaimed, when really, towards the fish, she was saying, "Get this clamhole the tartar sauce off of me!!!!"


The fish, alarmed by her swearing, started to swim towards the man, and a trout bit the hand on her tail. Ariel tried swimming away, only using her arms since her tail had felt limp.


I need to get to land. Ugh, why did I get rid of that dress?!?!

 

[JayJay]

Ellie sighed deeply, pushing herself up with a hand on her knee, then holding on to the side of the bus' door, looking at the driver.


"D-Don't ... *pant* Don't leave... They n- *pant* ... n-need help..."





She let her head hang after forcing a sentence out.


A moment after that, she heard Luke.

"Ah. Welcome back." Luke said in between breaths, as Clementine fell into her seat.

"L-... Luke..." She smiled, happy to finally see a familiar face.


She walked over to him, looking around for Katniss too.

 

[Akibahara]

Claire found herself dumbstruck, way too many emotions crashing into her brain at once, each one trying to fight for control of her actions. " S-sorry for what!? What is there to be sorry for!? You're not a Crossed! " She noticed Dandy run from the tree, which was now ablaze, leaving Adachi behind, also Mikasa swung out of another nearby tree, one that was thankfully not on fire. She called over to Adachi, wanting to have her little group from earlier be together again. " Hey! Get over here Adachi, me and Leo are here! " She called from behind the first bus, trying painfully obviously to ignore the gored little boy impaled onto one of pieces of metal that jutted out of it, but not before quickly pulling the body free from the metal. Anything that could slow this bus down could as easily result in their demise. Claire spun back around at the sound of gunfire that was much closer, watching Leo catch a round in the shoulder, she looked back at the attackers, two crossed women, one noticeably older than the other, a mother and daughter pair perhaps. Claire quickly brought up her M-9 Emptying the rest of her clip into both of them, aiming for the chest and upwards.

The two girls fell slack, Claire Redfield just killed two very important females in Leo's life: He saved them, nurtured them in times of need, and now, they were filled with bulletholes. Lifeless, killed by Claire Redfield. Poor, poor man... I feel so sorry for him. All that time to save 'em, all for nothing... and Leo helped.

(( HEY HE SHOT AT THEM TOO ;~; ))

 

[Lunar-Eclipse]

"I'll end this quick." Mikasa muttered.


She took the blade that was held up to the crossed Annie's neck and cut it across it. It was in the style of killing a titan. She turned back to the bus and went towards it.

 

[Verite]

(( Damn son. Nice post, get with the others.))

(Don't worry, I'm already in the bus. See

@The Golden Witch
"Tch! Here goes nothing!" Shiki exclaimed to himself, sprinting towards the bus. He didn't exactly hear Lambda's yell, but he heard the engine roar to life, meaning that it was operational again. He performed Flash Run here and there to make his advances faster, before he eventually reached it, bypassing a few other Crossed in the meantime. Putting his glasses back on momentarily, he quickly stepped into the vehicle and sat down, breathing heavily as he sat down in the nearest seat.

 

[Flowershadow]

With her Beretta having a fresh clip inside, she looked around the other side of the bus, opposite of the detective, keeping watch.

He kept a diligent watch on his side, him remembering that there was the sound of a sniper that had went off at one point. He wasn't exactly sure where the bullet had come from or whether that Crossed with it was still alive or not, but he kept a surprisingly diligent eye out with his revolver held out as well for one who seemed to be off his rocker. As insane as he was, the man was a surprisingly good marksman and watchman. The usually lax way he looked didn't portray the best for a man, but he was surprisingly useful while in this state.


Ya got any more on that side? Or we clear for whatever we're doing? I'd hate to leave such a fun time, but I can't exactly argue with the odds! Whichever's more fun, I'll go to!





It seemed he was shouting out to Claire about how Lambda was about to drive off the bus from the powerhouse, even though they had eliminated a good number of Crossed. Although, even while insane, he understood all the danger that was around himself and the others.

"Wa..Wait! You're leaving a Good friend to have, Behind!"


Hatty once again pounced on her Legs in effort to catch up with her.


"You'd leave a Cute little guy like me Behind with those As- Butt holes?!" Hatty Argued

 

[Atarf]

Katniss, sits on a thread bare bus seat next to Ellie, her soft head resting against her tired arms. As the monotones movement of the bus soon closes Katniss' eyes her head fills with the days past.. Conversations with strange and unique people, the feeling of panic and worry but also comfort.


'Prim' -The heart ache of home and the fear that the family she once supported is lost forever..


Outside the dust covered windows and the safety of the yellow bus the city which they are traveling through is frighteningly transformed into a living nightmare which reminds Katniss that, everything is so fragile, like the wings of a butterfly - and how ever much we try to cocoon ourselves from the outside world, it always manages to seep back in and cause more harm.


Katniss lies on the concrete stunned her head pounding, her vision blurry leg sore and mouth oozing with warm metallic blood.. As she attempts to clamber up, she falls back onto the concrete unsure of the mayhem around her, bullets fly as fire engulfs one of the school buses - blood curdling screams and manic laughs echo around her.. Katniss is pulled to her seances by the familiar screams of..


Ellie!


Katniss' heart thumps heavily in her chest, realizing her promise to protect the young girl - she scrambles to her feet the sharp pain in her right leg, her head swooning..


"Agh!" - She lets out a gasp.


Katniss swings her bow from over her shoulder, rubbing the string up and down her fingers to make sure there are no frays..


None, I need to fine Ellie..


As her eyes draw accustom the the contrast of dim and sharp lighting, she see's more bodies those of some she does not recognize.. As she walks closer her body low and her steps light, so as not draw attention to herself, a nagging feeling in the back of the mind tells her that she's not hunter but..


"The hunted.." - She whispers through her cracked lips.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"K-Katniss?!" - "Katniss, where are you?!" - Ellie..!


Katniss, prick up her ears listening -


Was..Was that Ellie?!





Katniss scans the surrounding area, building grey in the moonlight - her breath making small trails of condensation in the air.. Whilst coming closer to the bodies she see's one that seems to be show a little sign of life - she rushes over keen to help, not thinking of the danger that confronts her.. When she does reach the twitching body, she see's that it's a male lying face down - his clothes blood soaked his arm mangled - a rupture of flesh and bone shoot up through the obviously broken limb..


-As Katniss has not yet drawn an arrow, she see's no need to now as she stoops down to turn the man over placing her bow not far from the body.-


When she does manage to turn the man over, she see's an ungodly smile spread across his face bearing the crooked and blood stained teeth, luminescent in the moonlight a blood red cross painted on his face, his eyes flicker open staring directly into Katniss'.


Crossed..


"Little bitch!" - he whispers..


-Suddenly the man throws himself up, swinging his mangled and contorted limb at Katniss, striking her in the temple! She stumbles back, falling onto the ground.. Scrambling for her bow!


"AHAH! DON'T MOVE LITTLE WORM, LITTLE BITCH YOU! AHAH!"


Katniss, grabs the bow - but it's too late the 'now she realizes Crossed male' hurtles towards her, swinging his arm like it is a mace! - He throws himself upon her, moving his pelvis up and down on her pinned body, his useless broken stub flaying at the side - his good arm pressing hard against her throat.


"You, have such beutiful eyes! - I bet they taste even better!"


"No! -Arrgh! -Katniss pushes against his weight, she scrambles at his eyes scratching them trying to stop him from crushing her throat shut!


Katniss still holding him off her vision turning black, scrambles for her quiver, she pulls an arrow out and whilst he leans into lick her face, she thrusts it into his scull - she hears it crack under her force and a fountain of blood spurts up, like a geyser!


"Ooh!" - he manages to whisper





His grip loosens and his lifeless body slumps onto hers.. She pushes him off with the last of her strangth - she stays there lying on the cold concrete for the second time that evening - staring up at the sky, trying to regain her breath..


Ellie..!


She clambers onto her front, picking herself up and loading an arrow onto the string balancing it between her forefinger and thumb - this is done effortlessly and comes with years of hunting experience. She runs back to the buses thinking that the rest of the survivors have regrouped.. As she reaches the bus, her heart beat increases - in fear she may not see Ellie! - Once she reaches the Bus door and see's the frail outline of a young girl she cannot help herself..


"Ellie!" - She whispers feeling the relief of finding her.. Alive.. - She wipes away a tear that has started to cut away at the blood and grit on her face.

Annie growled, mowing down another three crossed as they charged at her bats and planks with nails through them. "Everyone get back to the damn bus! Our bitch of a driver is getting antsy!" Tibbers just clawed through a Crossed woman who approached the door to the bus, ripping her head off with it's searing teeth as hot blood splattered across the door's window. Tibbers passed the Witch a snarl before roaring and tackling another woman attempting to climb onto the hood with half her legs gone. Amumu grabbed onto one of the men with his wrappings and flung him off the dam, hearing him shout as he fell. By this point he was absolutely bawling, causing some of the more recently infected Crossed to hunch over in sadness, crying with him. This was one strange trio.

" I'm clear on my side! The back door is open, if you missed that! " She said with a small laugh, having Adachi actually sprint around it as he went to cover his side of the bus. " But if you're good, lets hop in! " Claire called out to him once more, backing away from her side of the bus with her M-9 still drawn, keeping her back facing Adachi as she stood in the open doorway.

 

[dalecoOoOoOper]

He stayed on the outside, looking at Bus 1 "Debra..." He groaned and limped over to the bus, trying to go inside "Hold that bus! Debras in there!"

 

[Akibahara]

[QUOTE="Lunar-Eclipse]Mikasa nodded, "Indeed. Things are getting much worse around here..."
She snarled as she saw another familiar face in the form of a crossed. Annie. After what she discovered about her, Mikasa had no problem with slaughtering this one. She unsheathed both of her blades. "If I were you... I would stand back. This will be rather brutal." She told the little guy she had saved. She used her gear again and flipped around to the back of the Annie crossed.

[/QUOTE]
The Annie Crossed laughed and laughed, it wasn't her of course, but damn... did she resemble her! BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!!!!! That's literally all you hear as the Crossed female lit a fucking firestorm toward Mikasa, if even a single bullet hit, due to the sheer size of a mini-gun round, that limb would vanish... or her life. Doesn't matter. I wouldn't even suggest a scratch from the bullet! 


[QUOTE="The Golden Witch]Turning the key, Lambda tried turning the engine back on, which died during the swift dodging maneuver. -Vrrr.. Vrrr... VrrrrRRRRRR-
At the third turn, the engine luckily sprung back to life, meaning that they were able to get out of here for now. Looking back into her bus, Lambda tried to make out, as to how many people were inside and who wasn't.


"Last CHANCE! I'll drive this bus away in a couple of seconds, so make up your mind and get on or get left behind! It's too dangerous here!!"


She had raised her voice to a rather loud one, which was able to be heard inside the bus, as well as the area around it, as some of the windows inside were open.


This was the last chance for anyone NOT aboard the bus, to get out of here.

[/QUOTE]
Pop.


Hm?


The engine died out once again. If you decided to go outside, pop the trunk open, there'd be a nice gaping hole in was once the engine. Crossed Annie... thing... whatever she was... minigun tore a nice, lovely hole into it's side. It clearly wasn't operational anymore! So, my lovely witch, got a Plan B?

 

[SuperChocoMilk]

"Glad, to see, you made it out alive, kid." Luke responded, grabbing one of th seats with a hand, and stuffing his machete back in it's holster. He looked at Clementine, who looked quite distressed. "I...I lost my axe." She said, looking at Luke, then to Ellie. She instantly half-smiled, glad to see Ellie alive and well, but missing Delta. She wondered where he was. He could've been in the bus, but if he was, she found,t see him.
