Following: Nuetralizer SOG Team 1
"NUETRALIZERS: SUPERIOR. NEW IMPERIALS: INFERIOR..." Shouted the Mass of Nuetralizers as they engaged the NIO mechanized units and soldiers trying to pierce Syd Celsius's forces. The guns fired from behind began hammering their push against their Murder-Bots, but even in a critically damaged state they would kill to the last second of functional ability to do, directing rocket and tank fire from their own lines on heavily concentrated points pouring all the fire they could on the Cataphracts of
DECEASED Erskine Barran
and
Konrad Bolter
to keep their fire focused on the Nuetralizers themselves, who were not going down like they had at their first true deployment at Generis or even Ziost. The ones facing Barran and Bolter had upgraded their frontal armor, and came equipped with reinforced Gungagn energy shields on their forearms, as well as their choice of weaponry. The primary weapon many of them carried was the infamous Stouker Concussion Rifle if it wasn't a T-007 Ion Disruptor, feeding off a backpack unit. They had stopped choosing anything but the hardest hitting weapons they could bring. The Stormtroopers weren't facing anything less than death on two legs with each Nuetralizer, who, much to the disturbed realization of many a Stormtrooper on BOTH sides were not simply using the most basic cover and advance tactics. They used better flanking manuevers, led by Nuetralizers that had survived Generis, and Ziost, and had transmitted their experiences to others. There was more use of smoke grenades than at previous battles, and the fire coordination had grown more complex, predicting the trooper tactics of the enemy as to how and at times, even when they were most likely to move to cover, which they would then pour fire on with what was starting to seem to the enemy like psychic foresight. Maximum Shock and Awe was their way as concentrated rocket and grenade fire blew apart a cataphract, shredding it in a fiery explosion that took out more than twenty enemy Stormtroopers in the ensuing shrapnel bath, the murderbots Laertia had designed finally starting to really come into their own as Elite Mechanized Shock Units. Panicked chatter started to come in from various units pushing against Celsius's forces: despite cutting down Nuetralizers with both artillery and even the effects of shell from the Smoothbores, the things seemed to have become smarter. Smarter in a way that was starting to inflict truly heavy losses as Barrans Forces advanced down the streets, more soldiers getting viciously blown apart by Concussion Rifle shots, or being cut down in a more horrifying way as the Nuetralizers began marching forward against Stormtrooper lines, coordinating the release of the Bio-Assault Sprayers in their chest, the biotoxic chemicals eating through seals and necrotizing the flesh beneath to goo in some spots, causing great agony before death.
When they had first shown up in the jungles of Generis, Jim Morrison singing in the background OOC, The Stormtroopers had been caught offguard by the sheer inhumane savagery with which the Elite Droids fought, seeking to inflict Maximum Terror on enemy Forces who were cut down by a deadly onboard array of weapons. But they fought in an ultimately Berzerker-Like fashion at Generis, and however deadly that was, and it HAD inflicted terrible losses, it was still ultimately limiting: Despite having gained the reputation of wanting to kill you even if there was hardly anything left of them to kill you with, too many had been cut down.
At Ziost it had been more Berzerker Tactics for the most part but it had already become disturbing to the Stormtroopers at New Adasta that they were learning to control 'When' to go Berzerker. The Troopers had started to fear the ones acting like Sappers far more than even the Berzerk ones at Ziost: The Berzerkers were terrifying enough, cracking out of place quips and jokes as they plodded mercilessly toward you, firing the Ion Disruptors that had nearly finished off The Lasat Species (The Nuetralizers who duel wielded the T-007 were especially feared, because any of them who happened to get good at it were pretty much a discount B.J. Blazkowicz, and even a discount version was still a pretty decent room clearer, especially if they were dual wielding the gun that nearly killed The Lasat).
But it was the Sappers the troopers at Ziost got terrified of the most. Sappers had a proficiency for setting booby traps on the roads, conducting ambushes. The fact they were so quiet compared to the rest of the Nuetralizers made them scarier.
It was terrifying now. The Nuetralizers still made horrible, sadistic quips but only in the moments it would be the most effective psychologically, not all the time
But however much they hammered at Erskine's units, the guns behind him assured they were still being cut down. Horrific Flame Booby Traps cast by Celsius upon the streets before The Cataphracts got in range that sprang fire tornados on contact lasted maybe thirty seconds before grenade and artillery fire detonated on impact.
Martin had started out as a Berzerker at Generis, duel wielding Ion Disruptors into the Jedi Scum that dared to make his creator sad and frustrated.
He had made the transition to Sapper at Ziost, when he found himself on the backfoot for the first time in his life, forced to use stealth to survive superior enemy numbers...he hadn't wanted to move back since.
Isacc though...
Isacc was at some curious waypoint between being a Sapper and a Berzerker. Martin had heard tales of his Brutality in the Jungle. He was certain a Processor or two was misaligned in that one...whatever, as long as he did the Job.
Still using a combination of their Defel Mimickers, and the stealth Magic's of the Witch known as The Arena. The team of Nuetralizers snuck past enemy mech units, whose scans were unable to detect their Thermal or electrical signatures due to The Arena hiding them.
Their objective was the Artillery and AT's way in the back. And they had brought nothing less than overkill.
They had brought with them a Void-007 Seismic Charge.
(Cutaway of Obi-Wan outrunning the Sonic Death Wave in the Asteroid Field)
"Nuetralizer Command to SOG, we are getting FETHING HAMMERED by
DECEASED Erskine Barran
! Where is that Surprise?" Asked a Nuetralizer veteran on the other end of the encrypted comms.
"On its way...Hang in there!" Martin called back. As he looked at the sheer carnage the NIO was willing to inflict, he began to wonder what they really had against his Mother, Laertia: It wasn't just Insanity and Murder: There was plenty of that to go around.
Martin and Isacc took point with The Arena, forced to let a lot of very tempting targets pass them by as they got closer. The Arena had hexed the Void Charge to do extra damage, and be nearly invisible except at very close range...
"All the Death..." The Arena said, shivering openly in delight at the carnage they were going to inflict. "My Sisters shall feed on the suffering echoing in this world for weeks after."
They approached the Smoothbores at last, heavily surrounded by enemy troops. Martin ordered some of his Brothers to camp on unoccupied rooftops to start sniping the Soldiers setting up Anti-Air Emplacements for their troops. The Nuetralizers, invisible and silent, began shooting the ammunition with silenced, armor piercing bolt action rifles, resulting in horrific rooftop explosions on some roofs, while others scrambled to find the Snipers. This gave Martin and the rest a nice distraction, as Rooftop Nuetralizers began shooting Officers down below, deliberately trying to draw fire to them.
The team close to the Smoothbores with Martin and The Arena creapt carefully past security, hauling the deadly near invisible device, planting it on a single Smoothbore. At the same time, the Witches The Arena had manifested from her flesh turned visible, calling down a cacophony of Lightning strikes on the Area, rampaging into Stormtroopers while the rest of the team that had planted the device on the smooth bore began to retreat. The manifested Witches were rapidly struck down after a few minutes but the distraction had paid off.
The Arena and the others retreated to a warehouse they had silently cleared of enemy, many a whispered "Surprise, Motherfether" being the last thing Erskine's troops heard before a Nuetralizer snapped their neck.
She drew a circle around them in her blood, enscribing unholy runes to survive the blast to come.
"Are you ready, Sherbet?" Isacc asked, using his pet name for his Witch Girlfriend.
"Always, my Durasteel Dreamboat." The Arena purred, flesh starting to melt and bubble horribly on her skeleton as she channeled the Dark Magic to shield them all.
Isacc turned to Martin. "You ready?"
"Yeah..." Martin said, holding onto his detonator. "This Magic better work."
"Have I let any of you chrome studmuffins down yet?" The Arena asked teasingly.
"No, my Sherbet-Hued Murderess!" Isacc said.
"Hey Boss, how do I get outta this chickenchit outfit?" Hudson the Nuetralizer complained idly.
"You secure that chit, Hudson!" Martin barked. "Everyone! Brace yourselves! Its gonna be a Hot Time in the Old Town tonight!"
Martin pressed the Detonator and Ride of The Valkyries began playing OOC.
One Stormtrooper team had managed to spot the Void-007 and had actually managed to remove it, and were even starting to try and carry it away from the Smoothbores when it went off right next to them.
The destruction was epic, a blue wave that shattered and flattened a good portion of the Smoothbores completely as well as shredding quite a number of walkers, heavily damaging what remained, though it would still barely work if the enemy tried to use it. But a number of evacuated buildings were smashed and exploded, some buildings collapsing completely next to the Stormtroopers advance, cutting off certain streets, burying multiple units in fiery, burning debris, the warehouse completely destroyed, but the magic bubble held, protecting its occupants.
The Arena stood up, giggling as she ran into the waiting arms of Isacc, kissing his exposed teeth on his skeletal visage.
"That was wonderful, Sherbet! So much ripping and tearing!" Isacc said lovingly.
"But it isn't done. Not yet..." Martin said, impressed that The Witch's magic was so powerful. "Move out. We have more mech units to disrupt..."
The Nuetralizers and the Witch turned invisible, having a number of choice explosives left to inflict yet more damage...
