Masks of Madness Event Finale | Act IV: Madness

[Ak'lya]

"If I was, would I say it? What seems to be the only member of Talon squad reporting for duty." He said to @[member="Commander Calico CC-247"]. Smiling, he noted Ahra, and was about to speak when something rammed through the wall and began spewing fire.
Well, kriff. He ducked behind a pillar, and after watching another seem to melt, called to @[member="Ahra Marcon"] "Pull out. We can't fight this." Let the people with weapons that can do that. Better to live another day. It's time to get out. Slinging the needler on his back, he waited for an opening to move, and drawing the slugthrower. He checked the chamber. BURST rounds. Maybe, just maybe..... at the next opportunity, he turned and emptied all eleven shoots at @[member="Jhaega"]'s visible head before retreating back to reload.

 

[Anya Venari]

The Hatchery/Prison

Melantha, the daughter of General Kaa, watched the battle with @[member="Jhaega"]. Her brother...of sorts. She had been part of the deception, but it had not been her choice. The Insurrection was a punishment. Every time she attempted to rebel but was foiled. Every time she was convinced that this time she would succeed...but only too late did she remember it was all a trick.

In a special cell, secured with bonds of beskar, she watched the battle and could do nothing else, her powers sapped from her. Her only hope was that one of the prisoners would recognise her and let her free. Free, her powers could be of great use.

 

[Anasi]

The Hatcher/Prison

"There...8,406,499," he said, putting the last coin into place. "Oh, I know it is a stereotype, but why worry.... Look at it...."
Gold, silver, platinum, and even rarer metals too. All of them sat in a vast pile on the floor. He knew them. He knew them all. Whilst that disgusting worm Volos ate and ate, and Lilith whored her way through eternity Anasi preferred something more...tangible.

Spoiler

From his pocket he picked out a single coin of rare platinum and held it up. "8,406,500..." he murmured.

Suddenly, shockingly, he was interrupted.

"@Jhaegahttp://starwarsrp.net/user/3638-jhaega/, execute Order Infernus."

With a snarl Anasi put the special coin in his pocket again and headed for the door.
"These prisoners will pay for their insolence. Kill them all!"

 

[Dalansa]

"Why must I always be treated like an animal?"

Dalansa drew her saber as she stood. The bars in front of her were cut open, and she stepped out, facing away from the dragon, and staring directly at @[member="Melantha"]. She stepped towards the imprisoned woman. "Need a hand?" She stepped up to the bars, pressing her saber to them, cutting down the barrier.

 

[Bluejay Ungolfen]

Same Place as Team Dragonslayer - KURSED

It was probably Oryuken's attack that galvanized Bluejay into acting. She lunged forward just as Oryuken regained his feet, sending her vibroknife singing towards @[member="Kira Liadain"] as she aimed a potentially devastating kick into Calico's jaw, followed immediately by a hand yanking his head back, unless she was interrupted or blocked. If she was lucky, the sudden movement might - might - snap his neck, but it was a thin possibility. In the event that it didn't, she would bring her second hand forward, fingers stiff, aiming for his throat.

TEAM DRAGON SLAYER

Well, one had to feel sorry for the guy. I mean, it wasn't his fault that Akala was using the poor sod as her personal puppet. What to do? Well, the big and mighty Oryuken was a rather tough rascal, and he had some strength on him.

"OH beans!" came Kira's exclamation, ducking out of the way to have a vibroknife end up embedded on the wall behind her. Only then did she held out her hands just over Calico, and in a rare show of her Force ability, blasted the clone with shocks of electric judgement that the specialist had been progressively learning. Arcs of aqua lightning went crackling towards Oryuken , sparing Calico, in the hopes that perhaps he would be knocked out cold so as to not be a hazard to them and herself.

DRAGONSLAYING AND STUFF


Calico loved his helmets. Helmets were great, they negated a lot of the physical damage of a kick to the face. That didn't mean it wasn't jarring. With his vibroblade--and by extension his fist imbedded in Oryuken's leg, Calico was helpless to block the kick.

Shab.

Then, his head was being pulled back for...what was happening now? The Vibroblade made that shiinnk sound again as it retracted back into his gauntlet. "Please...stop trying to kill me. I really like my neck. It's important." His arms went to try and wrap around Bluejay's legs in an attempt to send her toppling over before his neck stopped being one solid thing.

[Bluejay Ungolfen]

DRAGONSLAYAHZ - KURSED

Woof - ow.
"You never use anything above your neck anyway." Bluejay muttered. Calico had succeeded in making her fall to her knees, releasing her grip on his head to keep himself from sprawling out on the floor. A faint, quick shake of her head and Bluejay rocked backwards on her heels, bringing up one of her two remaining weapons - a blaster pistol - and pulling the trigger. If it connected, it would slam into Calico. At point-blank range. It wasn't aimed brilliantly, so it would hit just above the visor unless somebody interfered.

[Galaar Tal'Verda]

Dragon-Slayerz - Near Calico and Kira

Galaar was laying down suppressive fire on the Kursed. His DC-17m fired blue, flaring bolts of energy downing each and every enemy he managed to get his sights on, well most in all reality. The battle was a flurry, a chaotic flurry without cadence or a set path. It was calm and relaxing; that was until he saw Bluejay engage Calico. The fight seemed to go in his favor until a pistol was drawn... The clone shouted at Calico, rather distinguishable gibberish in the midst of the chaos and bolted forward.

He could taste the metallic twang of adrenaline in his mouth... His heart pound against his chest like a drum... Everything seemed to slow down, Vau called it 'bullet-time' once. It was the soldier's instinct, all of his training as a sniper combined into his reflexes. It took him just the right amount to reach his brother. The clone lunged in Bluejay's path, very possibly stepping on Calico. He saw a flash from the corner of his eye, the blaster, he had just the time to close his eyes before it hit his helmet... The high-powered pistol made a smoking hole in the side of the helmet. Everything his body devolved into a hazy, all consuming pain as if fire was trailing up every inch of his body.

Then he hit the ground, his vitals on the helmet HUD vitals spiking violently before dropping down to dead levels. He had thrown everything on the line for his brother. For all intents and proposes, the clone seemed very, very dead.

[Velok the Younger]

@[member="Jhaega"]
As those around her found it wise to finalize their strikes against the dragon, Rave -- the instigator of the counterattack -- clung to one of the five-headed monster's faces by two embedded alchemical knives. Masters and Knights and clones and madmen had joined her dogpile of the dragon, to the point where, in her leap, she'd been followed by a wave of similarly leaping people, none of whom had thought to jump above the likeliest arc of fire. But apparently they'd landed fine, though she didn't envy them when the dragon responded.

Feet planted on the dragon's snout, she hung on by her alchemical daggers. Sparks of lightning danced down her blades into the dragon's face.

 

[Antares]

Antares's boots landed quite violently upon the snout of the dragon, @[member="Jhaega"], his blue lightsaber beam was ignited as well and when he looked up, he saw that @[member="Rave Merrill"] was there right by his side, already shooting lightning into the face of the beast. Antares's own lightsaber was plunging down to the nose of the beast, and if he did indeed cut into the beast's nose, he would guide it through the scales, to try and separate it's nose vertically. "If this doesn't work, we need a new plan." He bit out as he plunged the blade downwards.

 

[Adenn Gra'tua]

Brawling Oryuken​

Despite the dragon nearby, Adenn still was fighting the kursed I front of him, he saw Bluejay, another kursed, attack Calico and a Jedi, Who both seemed to be now fighting her, with Oryuken still I front of Adenn "Well, I guess it's just me and you know." he said while holstering his pistols "And my vibroblades." he chuckled, then with a shunk the vibroblades ejected from his gauntlets "Now, let's see what you can do." he tuanted.

@[member="Oryuken CC-128P"]

 

[Ordo]

@[member="Melantha"] @[member="Rave Merrill"] @[member="Jhaega"]

Ordo rose and was filled with a violent anger he had rarely shown as he grabbed the bars of his prison. With a great pull his thick muscles worked and soon came free. He saw the woman pouring lighting into one of the beast heads while others attacked with what they could.

Ordo ripped the heavy bar off and hefted it in his hands. He rushed to the opposite wall and decided he would make a way out while the others distracted the beast.

A door would be watched but a wall was less expected. He stepped back and called on the force. He lowered a shoulder and with a mighty crash made a new exit. The wall burst out ward and the ceiling began to sag as he stood and put big hands up to hold the 'door' open.

"EVERYBODY OUT!" He Bellowed. He just hiped he could save a few if nothing else.

[Revenchent]

Five-Two is down. Cranial injury.


Things were moving in slow-motion for Calico. His sense felt sharper, more alert. Things panned out second by second; allowing Calico to watch in helpless agony as the bolt went through Galaar's helmet. The soldier shouted something incoherent, and sprang forward as the junior Commando hit the floor.

That wasn't fair. Not now, not after they were so close to finding the aging cure. Not after they had finally attained freedom. It wasn't fair. It wasn't right.

He propped Galaar into his arms: paying no heed to Oryuken, Bluejay, or the intense firefight erupting around him. The flashes of blue, orange, green, the chaos of falling bodies and violent explosions were simply a backdrop now. If they were going to slot Calico now, then they could feel free to try.


Come on ner'vod. Not now, not like this!" He shook the lifeless mess of armor as tears began to sting at his eyes. "This isn't fair Galaar. You can't leave me alone like this!" He ripped his brother's helmet away and threw the ruined thing to the side.


Weapons fire rang in his ears, but it refused to register. Calico reached up and tossed his helmet back, letting it roll over toward Kira. His face was flush red as he began to pump Galaar's chest in a vain attempt to breathe life into the man.


You make me stay around and leave me like this. I don't have anyone else, up di'kut!

Despite all of his drilling, Calico was breaking down. He wept freely now as he continued to try and revive Galaar, completely open for any of the Kursed to attack, if they so pleased.

[Not Ordo]

@[member="Adenn Gra'tua"]

The big clone's blood ran down his leg as the Man taunted him. The vibro blades from his gaunlets were a nice touch and one that at one time would have filled him with awe and excitement like a child with a new toy but sadly it was no longer so. The massive clone pulled back his beskad and swung it at the man but before he was half way through his swing the bolts of aqua lightning launched at him.


The electric judgement technique of the little Jetii struck his chest and sent him into the air to crash to the ground 3 meters back. Smoke rose from his body as he began to twitch on the floor. Had it not been for the Power Akala had given him he would have been unconscious but slowly he began to cough and rolled onto his side. Soon he would be back on his feet but they had a moments reprieve if they used it wisely.

[Talon Vosra]

@[member="Dalansa"] @[member="Melantha"]

Talon was up and moving quickly as he saw the blue woman and the other. He rushed to help open the cell.

"Here we will fare better if we work together." he said as he removed the cut away section and reached out a hand. "Unless you like your cell that is miss."

He was somehow one of the only ones that didn't get to keep his weapon evidently but he had the force and that would have to be enough until he could find a weapon.

 

[Djorn Bline]

Calico's group

"It's time to see how well these bastards can maintain themselves," Canal said as he got his CZ-836 Assault Rifle out and was ready to blow up his enemies with the grenade launcher under it. He then aimed in front of him with his assault rifle and fired one round from the under slug grenade launcher that went five meters and bang killed a lot of Kursed and put a bit of fear in their morale since the he and his comrades were being suppresed by their blaster bolts. "Yeah, I can smell the blood that is drying, I feel the tension rising, and see my enemies dying before me!" Canal yelled as he switched his grenade launcher to using his other ammunition as he put in a clip of 5.56mm BASIC Slug and fired at the Kursed.

He then saw on his HUD the icons of Galaar and Calico that were to his left side. Canal turned around and saw something that he could never imagined: Galaar dead with Calico mourning and trying to revive him. "Galaar, no!" Canal yelled as he went to his brothers. He then took of his helmet which was a sign of respect to a clone that died in combat, in case Galaar was dead. "Is he..." He couldn't finish his sentence that was going directly to Calico as he couldn't believe that Galaar was dead. He felt an anger inside him, an anger that was probably bigger than a Sith's, an aner that Canal felt only once in his life. He looked around and saw Bluejay and Oryuken.

Traitors

He then put away his assault rifle and took his other toy for big boys: his LJ-50 Concussion Rifle and pointed it at Bluejay. "Don't worry traitor. Death doesn't hurt." As he shot a a burst of energy at Bluejay which usuall killed its target in one shot. No mercy Canal. Remember your training. He smiled as he put away his concussion rifle and took out his assault rifle and continued killing the enemies around the clones.

OOC: Okay where is the rest of my post. Can any of you guys see it?

 

[Bluejay Ungolfen]

Team Fighting the Dragon - KURSED

What? No. No...not...GALAAR!
The mental scream as equal parts fury and desperation. Bluejay staggered back, shaking her head. No, no, no...

Then Akala's control reasserted itself after the initial shock. Galaar deserved it, of course he did. Otherwise, Akala would have said not to kill him. Of course, that made sense. Still. She wasn't pleased about the death.

Inhale. Exhale. Raise the blaster. She nearly apologized, then remembered that he had deserved it, because Akala had not saw fit to save him. The blaster was pointed steadily at Calico's head. You'll see him soon, Calico. I'm sorry...it was this way.

And then came the concussion round. Bluejay screamed in pain as the shot slammed into her shoulder. She wasn't dead, but she was pretty karking close - passing through her shoulder, searing a hole through her collarbone and exiting out just in front of her esophagus. She had been extremely lucky - although she didn't feel like it. The bolt had missed her vital organs, but the wound was terrible and could still kill her if it wasn't treated.

[Lief]

So with all the oncoming fire from the group that had decided to face the large dragon, it didn’t move and took everything. Though everyone in the vicinity would feel the heat rise in the general area of where the dragon was. Flames suddenly burst from beneath every scale as the force from within manifested itself. Anyone who was near the dragon would soon be blasted away and the scales that once adorned the body of the beast fell crashing down - crushing anyone who decided to stay close.

With a shake and a grin, the dragon was renewed. A man jumped towards him and into his face, first the padawan was his target and with a flap of the massive leathery wing @[member="Antares Windu"] would go flying back to where he came from. In the same instance, the snout of the dragon opened with the Grand Master @Joshua Dragonflame, a massive burst of flames grew and soon engulfed the Grand Master. Their plans were foolish and then @[member="Rave Merrill"] decided to play as well. As the flames died down from his jaws, Jhaega snapped them closed locking Rave in his razor teeth. He didn’t cut her with them, no he had other plans for the little witch.

A few flaps of his wings he was soon airborne rocketing up away from the group. Growling, he tasted the lack of flavor on the witch and then soon flung his head launching her from his mouth towards the ground.

“Disgusting, I’d rather eat @[member="Phobos"] ‘ poodoo before I eat you Witch”

TL;DR: Everyone who is fighting got blasted with the flames from Jhaega, those that decided to block that will have to avoid his scales falling and landing to the ground. Yes he has scales under the ones he lost. Antares, DF and Rave got personal attacks.

FYI: No Auto Hits Please...& apologies for not posting asap today personal crisis happened IRL.
