DCW IRL Round 6: Jupiter

[Maltavite 61]

"I don't know if they are so f***ing mad for killing a lot of Nubi-f***ing-Nelle!" Petya snickered as he and his man are arrived in AF's HQ

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

Ash followed at a run, still suspicious of the younger girl's strange reaction. "If ya know 'im, please tell me, 'specially if ya believe 'e c'n be trusted. I'll follow ya on this if that's the case." She jogged beside Vivi, adding, "I'm glad yer partner's got ya ta lean on, Vi. Yer one of our best allies, despite what they try ta say 'bout yer age." She smiled and popped her shoulder, waiting on Vi's answer.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

(By the way, if you dont already know, when I refer to my partner here, I'm talking about my little bird. And if you don know yet, my bird is mechanical and it is sort of like a robot. :V)

----------

Sparrow followed closely behind as they ran. "If ya know 'im, please tell me, 'specially if ya believe 'e c'n be trusted. I'll follow ya on this if that's the case." She jogged beside Vivi, adding, "I'm glad yer partner's got ya ta lean on, Vi. Yer one of our best allies, despite what they try ta say 'bout yer age." She smiled and popped her shoulder, waiting on Vi's answer.

Vivi had never been close to Sparrow. And sparrow had never known much about Vivi. Vivi had always been very sensitive to touch and trust. She was pretty surprised that Sparrow actually expressed her trust in her so readily, but putting her hand on her was a little too much for her to take in. She shivered and pushed Sparrow's hand away. Vivi was not unhappy that Sparrow trusted her, but she couldn't bring herself to trust that kind of talk so easily.

"Thanks." she replied sparrow. "But I really don't know him."

It wasn't a lie. She really didn't know him. The only reason she knew he was not from the armed forces was because she knew all the higher ups and most of the normal ranks in the armed forces. With that guy's ability, he should be within the higher ranks or at least the normal ranks but he was not. Of course there is this chance that he is new to the armed forces which is why Vivi doesn't recognize him. In this case, he would be enemy. But one thing's for sure. Since he actually made the generator for the enemy, he definitely isn't an ally.

"Even so, he's definitely not a friend Sparrow." Vivi continued. "We should be wary of him."

As Vivi got closer to the tunnel, rings and blasts of laser guns were heard. Vivi immediately increased her speed and darted in.

[akane 0]

"WHAT?! God dammit, I always miss the action!"

"What action," Sayuri asked as she walked back from parking her bike.

Misaki told her what the 8th Battalion member had told her. "For real?!" she exclaimed, "Man, I can't believe the Armed Forces are doing such cruel things..."

She knew it was stupid of her to believe that there was still some good in the Armed Forces, even after she has seen all the terrible things they had been responsible for doing. But somewhere in her, she honestly thought that they could change, that they could go back to the way it should be. Like the way it was when her grandfather was in it. Her hand unconsciously slipped into her pocket as she rubbed the cold metal of her pocket watch. I'm glad Grandfather isn't alive to see what the Armed Forces has become...

Suddenly, a tune began to play, causing her friend to snatch her phone out of her bag. "Sorry boss," she said as she answered her phone, "still working on getting that team."

A pause happened as she listened to the response before asking, "What happened sir? Did we have a lot of causalities?"

Another pause. Misaki then stuffed her phone back into her leather pouch since the call had ended as she hastily walked into the Battalion's HQ. Sayuri followed in a jog, asking, "Hey, what was that about? And what's with you? You looked... Kinda worried."

Misaki ignored her question and instead said, "I need to get to Brent right away. Sayuri, could you do me a favor and get together whoever helps hold down the fort here and get them to meet us out front? I need them all to get down to the Rebellion's HQ. I would, but things have probably changed since I've been here and anyway, it's easier to get everyone rounded up if two people are doing it."

She paused for a second before giving her a nod and heading off into a different direction. It was very easy to find the men needed as they were all in the break room. "Guys," she yelled out as she entered the room, "need you out front! Brent's orders."

The men rose from their seats and grabbed their stuff before following her out of the headquarters. As they were exiting the Battalion's HQ, she said, "Wait here, I'll get the van."

One of the men asked, "Why do we need the van?"

She paused before answering, "I'm honestly not sure. But I just know that Misaki from the Nubinelle Rebellion needs you guys and Brent out here and down to the Rebellion's HQ."

"Why?"

"I'm not sure. You can ask Misaki when she gets here."

Before anyone began to ask anything else, she ran off, getting the van from their vehicle holding area. She was back 5 minutes later. Sayuri honked the horn as she yelled out, "Get on in!"

The men piled into the car one by one. By the time the last man was in the car, Misaki and Brent were exiting the building. She grinned as she yelled out, "Hop in! Next stop, Nubinelle Rebellion Headquarters!"

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

Ash pulled back, sensing Vivi's reluctance. She nodded, jogging beside her. She had never been cloe to anyone, but she knew that in order for the rebellion to succeed, they had to have unwavring trust in one another. While she tried not to become attached and hold up the group with emotion, she supplemented her cynicism with teamwork. "I und'rstand. Is yer bird okay, Vi?" she asked as they neared the origin of the chaotic sound.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

"You mean this?" she pulled out her bird. It was stationary like a piece of scrap metal. "Yea. It's out of battery. It will auto regenerate it's battery through movement. And if my ability is back I can bring it back no prob."

She kept the bird back into her hood and continue running. Within the distance a gun fired. They were there.

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

Ash drew her scythe and held it out, brushing her short green hair out of her eyes. She looked out over the area, watching those in conflict and gripping her scythe tightly. "Ready to go, Vi. What do ya need me ta do?"

[Maltavite 61]

"This is madness... The Nubinelle are wounding Petya. What should we do?" Greyfield smirked, he healing Petya's wound "We think, they are launching several attack to our position and we will show them our power. In retaliation, we will slaughter many Nubinelle dumba**" he took a Desert Eagle. Yi asked his boss "Shall we return fire, sire?" Greyfield told her, "Well, do it. Petya, use your hacking skill to scatter these fools!"

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

"Yea." Vivi replied getting herself ready for another intense battle. She hopes her body can last until she finds Sakila. "I can finally see the legendary Sparrow in action." Vivi smirked and threw a glance at her. "But I'm not going to lose to you!"

With that, she zoomed into the battle zone. "Let's let loose!"

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

"Yes!" Ash unleashed Reaper's Touch as he raced into the fray, dodging slashes and delivering blows to countless armed 'forceless.' As she dueled her way toward the center, she spotted Petya loitering in the lull of the eye, injured and accompanied by another. She locked in on him as her target, avoiding eye contact but dashing forward to slash at his torso.

[Maltavite 61]

As Ash is slaying Petya, Greyfield fired his Desert Eagle, grazing her leg, he took an Spectre M4, handing to Petya as he shouted, "Help me to cap these f***ers!"

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

((Alright, Ari... I'll go along with the hit for now, but you can't injure her further while she's out, and no incapacitating the only other nubinelle member either, to avoid unfair advantage. Shooting in the chest first fight... kinda rude xD))

"Ah-" Ash froze for a moment, glancing at the enemy she hadn't seen. Then she looked down at her wound. "Dammit..."

Her hand shook, and she barely kept her grip on her scythe as the figures around her started to blur. I won't pass out... I won't pass out... She looked out over the mass of fighters, searching for Vivi. Please be alright... She spotted the girl taking down an enemy, but before she could say anything, the world dissolved into darkness. A moment later she hit the ground.

[Maltavite 61]

{Amontillado: Edited }

Petya shouted, "What the **** was that?!" Greyfield snickered, he firing his Desert Eagle "They are breaching our 'lethally shit' weapons. And I feel they are brought several plane here" Petya snickered "What goes up..."

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

{Amontillado: Edited }

((I just meant not to hit Vivi as well, not to edit at all --)

[tengaku squared 291]

"Enough." T walked into the room, and as if by some great force, everyone stopped fighting. T turned to Greyfield. "Greyfield. I thought I told you not to get too overzealous. And now I find that your forces have taken a hostage and led this duo into your midst. Not only that, but you've shot one of them." T sighed. "Do you not understand? These two happen to be important to my operations, and yet I see your forces shooting at them!" He walked up to Greyfield, the soldiers strangely unable to respond, and looked at him in the eyes. "If I see you or any of your forces hurt this girl, who's name happens to be Ash, I will personally come and hang you! And anyone involved!" He paused, then pointed at Vivi. That girl over there as well, Vivi, I believe. Same goes for her. Do you understand?"

Greyfield gulped, then collapsed. T then turned towards Vivi. "Please don't die. You are far too interesting too die." T paused. "Your friend, Sakila, I believe? Anyways, she should now be in the hands of the 8th Battalion, where she belongs. So, please, cease this fighting for now. The 8th Battalion and the Nubinelle Rebellion are holding a joint meeting, and your friend needs immediate medical care. Go."

After Vivi left with Ash, T walked up to Petya. "I believe you were the one who happened to blind Ash. Do not touch her again. Or I will hang you as well." T began to walk out, then said, "I believe I made my point clear. You Armed Forces are to cease unnecessary fire. This is understood." He waved his hand, and the soldiers collapsed, released from the strange paralysis. T walked away and was gone.

============================================================

(Too much fighting too early. Besides, I think you two (KKLT and Amontillado) should be getting to the meeting.)

[Sakila 88]

The sounds of the battle changed and Sakila stopped in her tracks. The troops were being called back, she realized, on both sides.

"Sakila!"

"Mokou! You're here! I thought..."

"We... We should head back now."

"Hey, why are you favoring your arm like that?

"What are you talking about? Let's go already."

"Are you hurt? That's right! Without Regenerator, you're susceptible to wounds. Let me see!"

"There's no point! I'm fine! Now we have to go back! One of the Rebels was able to shut down the Inhibitor that blocked our powers and now everyone is retreating. Our troops will stay here to guard the villagers, but we need to go."

Mokou began walking in the opposite direction. Sakila hesitantly went after her. "Where are we going?"

"I was told to take you to the meeting being held between the Rebels and 8th Battalion. Since you're the head supervisor of the village that was attacked. You'll probably have to give your testimony or something."

Sakila looked at the backs of the villagers now being escorted by troops before following the redhead to the meeting.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

There were more enemies than allies in the zone but they were careful not to accidentally shoot each other and get shot themselves so there is no clear advantage. Vivi had been careless for the first round. But now, she's learnt the battle tactics of the enemy and she's careful not to fall in it or to caught off guard again. Vivi easily dodged a shot from the front and as expected, an array of bullets came from her blind spot. She barely avoided the bullets and turned a corner and gave a kick to the idiots standing around trying to shoot Sparrow. She then spotted another guy trying to shoot her from her blind spot. "Spa-!" But before she could warn her, she was shot. "Keh!" Vivi jumped over and kicked him in the face and the guy immediately lost consciousness.

She hurried over to the wounded girl and tried to fend off some incoming enemies. Suddenly, a mysterious guy appeared from out of no where and commanded for them to stop. Immediately, all fighting ceased. Vivi furrowed an eyebrow. She was shocked by the guy's authority. She was pretty sure grey field wouldn't submit so easily to anyone. Who is this guy that just appeared?

The guy spoke to greyfield and immediately after that, greyfield became weird. He then turned to Vivi and spoke. "Please don't die. You are far too interesting too die." he paused. "Your friend, Sakila, I believe? Anyways, she should now be in the hands of the 8th Battalion, where she belongs. So, please, cease this fighting for now. The 8th Battalion and the Nubinelle Rebellion are holding a joint meeting, and your friend needs immediate medical care. Go."

'Sakila...' Vivi was relieved she was alright, but she felt frustrated and humiliated to be at the enemy's mercy, and to not being able to anything to them when the leader of the armed forces was right infront of them. She would risk her own safety if it was her alone but she she can't risk Sparrow's life for her own agendas. She had just realized she was too naive and too reckless. It was no wonder Jackson wanted to delay her from joining the fights. For now, she figured she should retreat.

With her uninjured arm, she lifted Sparrow and with the other, she flipped the switch on her shoes to emergency power and with a burst of power, they zoomed out of the area.

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

Ash stirred. She was groggy and annoyed at the jerk who'd fired on them, but she let tha go for the moment.

Wincing, she mumbled, "'Ey, ya alright, Vi?"

[Misaki-chan 164]

It didn't take the group long to reach the Rebellion's HQ. When they arrived, Tasha was standing outside. As she saw them, the woman grinned and began to wave largely. "Hey!" she yelled out as they exited the van. "Glad you got here so quickly. Jackson and some others are on their way, so we're just waiting on them. It shouldn't take too long~"

Brent smiled at her as he responded, "Thank you for telling us. The Battalion is waiting on a few people as well, so we may have to wait for them as well. So where is the meeting being held?"

She replied, "In the conference room. I'll take you there right away!"

As a result, they all began to follow the second-in-command to where the emergency meeting was being held. Misaki quickly slipped to the front of the group and asked, "Hey, Tasha, how long you think we'll be waiting for Jackson and the others?"

The woman turned to her and answered, "Probably at least 20 minutes, why?"

"Because I wanna slip off to one of the training rooms to get some training in~"

"But you need to be at the meeting!"

"And I'll be there! I swear!"

"Fine, go! But you better be back in time!"

She let out a small squeal of delight as she patted her on the back and said before running off to the nearest training room, "Thanks! I swear, I won't be late!"

Luckily, a room nearby was free, and so she entered. She loved being in the training room, with the slight scent of sweat in the air and all the things to beat up. Her eyes gazed around the room, deciding on what would be her targets today. After deciding on several punching bags, she extracted the five inches iron pipe she kept on her belt from its loop before gripping it tightly. Misaki then pulled outward, extending the metal to become three feet. After taking a deep breath, blocking out all sounds and thoughts, she began.

It felt like she wasn't even touching the ground as she ran towards her first target. With her weapon in hand, she swung it, a solid thud echoing from the bag. She continued, the blows coming from her not stopping. After a few minutes, she switched weapons, her pipe shrunken and replaced by a steel hammer that had gone from five inches and 3 1/2 feet, before continuing her blows. She didn't think, just acted. To her, it was just her, her weapon and the dummy.

Misaki was so absorbed in her fighting she didn't hear (or even notice) the person from the door call out, "Misaki! Misaki!" until she felt something hit her back. In the moment, she swung her hammer, ready to hit whatever/whoever had hit her. "MISAKI DAMNIT IT'S ME!"

She stopped. Nothing moved or spoke. Only the sounds of her pants could be heard. She stared at the visitor, not exactly processing why they were there.

The other person seemed to figure so as they said, "Misaki, come on. Jackson and the others have arrived, so we'll be starting the meeting now."

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

After a while, Sparrow regained consciousness. Wincing, she mumbled, "'Ey, ya alright, Vi?"

Vivi raised an eyebrow. She was pretty amused with her question. "Not very. But lively compared to you."

Sparrow let out something like a laugh before she went back to her slumber state.

A few moments later, 5 minutes to be exact, they arrived at the headquarters, and finally the emergency power cannot hold it any longer. Vivi was also at her limits. The moment she and Sparrow entered the headquarters, everyone rushed forward to support them. After making sure Sparrow was taken care of, Vivi collapsed to the ground in exhaustion (and possibly bloodloss).

[Maltavite 61]

"Well... That fool was flee and we will re-decorate this base" Greyfield said to his men and Petya

[tengaku squared 291]

"Well... That fool was flee and we will re-decorate this base" Greyfield said to his men and Petya

(Note that Greyfield is extremely terrified of T, so he probably won't refer to him as a 'fool'.)

[Rukia Kurosaki 357]

Ash heard Vivi's comment, but could only laugh before once again passing out. She had no idea how long it had been, but by the throbbing in her chest it had been a short while since then when she once again heard voices. Hushed cries and murmurs brushed over her mind as she tried to pull herself from unconsciousness. But rather than the present, Ash found herself viewimg the recent past. The man who was known only as T... she could see him again, speaking to Vivi and ordering the armed forceless to hold their fire. 'Too interesting' is what he called Vi... did he help us just to involve her in some twisted study? I have to find out about him.

Ash forced her eyes open. She was back in the infirmary at HQ. 'Been a while,' she thought sarcastically, glancing around. She spotted Vi laying on the bed beside hers, bandaged and sleeping soundly. She wanted to call to her and say thank you, but she didn't want to disrupt the rest the girl obviously needed... and she didn't think she had the energy to speak. Ash waited silently for someone to notice that she was awake and tell her what was going on, willing her energy to spread out and allow her to move.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

(Note that Greyfield is extremely terrified of T, so he probably won't refer to him as a 'fool'.)

(Could he be referring to VIVI and Sparrow?)

EDITED: (A little history added)

'No... No...! How...how could you...urgh!' Vivi's voice was trembling and filled with fear as she clutched her abdomen in pain. It appears that someone had shot her.

"Heh. Sorry girl, we have no choice but to do this. But don't worry, you won't die immediately..." The guy shrugged with a smile. "Actually, you should be honoured you can even act as a decoy before you die. Well, enjoy your last moments darling~!"

And with that he and the rest of the team sped off. "Wait-urgh!" Vivi struggled to remain standing. She could already hear the footsteps of the enemies approaching.

'Shi...' Vivi limped towards the exit.

'There they are! Stop them!' Vivi heard someone shout behind her before an stream of bullets came her way. She felt a few hitting her before she collapsed. 'No... Rei-Rei...'

'Hey look its just a kid! Moukou! Brent! What do we do?!'

'Kid? Lemme see?' A voice said. 'Hmm... Look at the logo of her shirt. She's a part of the Armed Forces.'

'A kid!? In the Armed Forces!?' This lead to a lot of chit chattering.

Suddenly, Vivi felt something cold touch her face. 'Rei...' she continued chanting. It was her brother's name.

'Who's Rei?' The voice asked.

'R-rrei-i...' whispered Vivi weakly.

'Get her some treatment...' The voice said.

That was the last statement she heard before finally losing consciousness.

Vivi's vision stirred as she opened her eyes. She was on the infirmary bed. Deja vu?

She glanced around and saw that Sparrow was on the bed beside her. She tried to remember what had happened before she was brought there. 'Ah.' She remembered fainting when she reached the headquarters. She inspected herself and found that she was heavily bandaged up. She didn't know that it was so serious. She figured it was because the doctors didn't want her to move around too much so they purposely made it such that it restricted her movement. She struggled a little and sat up. She put her hands in her hood and pulled out the little bird.

"Vi-i vi..." It stuttered. Vivi looked solemn. She didn't want to remember the incident from that time. It totally wasn't pleasant. A rush of anger came to her and she punched her fist into the bed as hard as she can. "OW!" She yelled in pain from the impact.

"Vivi!" Sparrow realized she was awake. "Are you alright!?"

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

[tengaku squared 291]

"I can't have them fighting now. That wouldn't be interesting at all," T said. "The Armed Forces are terrible at entertainment, and if I left them to go on their merry way, none of the Nubinelles or 8s would undergo evolution...if that's even a possibility to begin with for these people."

"Damn it! We should just crush them all in hellfire! We got the missiles!" Waylon punched the wall, causing a small dent. "Wouldn't that be more interesting?"

T glared at Waylon, who quickly cowered. "You do realize I could raze this entire nation if I so pleased? Greyfield, Brent, and Jackson are fleas compared to me. It's much better if we watch and experiment with this group. Far more fascinating, and we can sanitize and clear up later if needed anyways." T looked around, and called, "Cyrus! Penny! Are the shipments ready?"

Cyrus appeared from a shadow. "I believe. The missile shipment, headed for the Armed Forces. Along with three more nullification generators."

Waylon shouted, "You're giving them to the army? You have no clue what they'll do with them!"

T shrugged. "It'll be interesting to see, say the least. Those missiles happen to be unprimed. It'll take 5 days to fire them. 17 in total. Each of them with the payload to annihilate the capital. This base is shielded, to say the least, but we could move anyways."

Cyrus looked at T. "But how will the rebels learn of the missiles in time to make a confrontation? This is what you are planning, correct?"

T looked at Cyrus with a hint of approval. "Yes, and it will be far more interesting than a little shoot-out. As for the message, I already happen to have that covered. The two rebel factions happen to be having a joint meeting soon. The girl, Sparrow, will be my messenger. And Waylon, don't worry. You have a part in this plan as well."

======================================================

(How about a major shakeup?)
