cityship: (Meanwhile...)
cityship ([personal profile] cityship) wrote in [community profile] trans_92011-07-23 01:02 am

Gently, but with undeniable will divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. (Pt. 5: Chances)

The plan was...well, it wasn't simple, but it sort of was.

While the CLF attacked multiple Clone Processing centers to distract the government, the group with the CLF would target one particular one in the region that'd once been New Jersey. The group with the government would offer their services in putting down their own people.

In the center, they'd split up into several groups. One would fight a fake fight, create a massive diversion, and blow up the room where the samples their DNA were being kept in the process. Another group would secure a teleporter pad. That team would teleport out other teams to steal a ship, steal some med tech to teleport to said ship, and steal a medical database. Another team would go to the main command center and hack into the government mainframe to down the sensornet around the planet so they could escape. And Nightwing himself would accompany the clones to upload the harvested memories to the Mother Brains, left unguarded because of the diversionary fighting, and make sure that was all they did.

Meanwhile, there'd be a standing order for all teams to avoid killing other crewmates, and avoid killing guards unless absolutely necessary.

It was a complicated plan. If a single part fouled up, they might find themselves dead, trapped, or worse. But if it worked, it'd work pretty spectacularly and leave them with medtech, a medical database, the clones helped, and possibly a grateful Council depending on how the fight went, because of the ones seemingly aiding the government.

In some worlds, things that were a million-to-one-chance (exactly a million-to-one) by their nature had to work. Let's hope this world is one of them, eh, mission crew?

Lash wasn't about to be the only one with heightened reflexes. As she leapt away, Sam dashed in from behind a parked vehicle. "And now, pinch hitting for Team Clone is Sam!" he said, continuing the trend of cheesy lines. He snatched up Zetta by the spine, holding him tightly.
badassfreakingoverlord: (shocked)

Heh, better crank the power down on these blasts a little.

"ZETTA BEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--"

Wait -- whoa! Where the hell is he being taken!? As he was lifted up, the beam went wide and upwards. "-AAAAAAAAM"!

Sam knew exactly what he was going to do with the guy. He just hoped he wouldn't do too much damage along the way. To Zetta, anyway. "Batter up! And the pitch!" he chucked Zetta far over the heads of the rest of the fighters and guards, making sure he rotated in the air in such a way as to cut off both ends of an elevated walkway. The structure crashed to the street behind them, cutting off a major path of escape. And it'd keep civilians from wandering into the area. "Yes!" He cheered before ducking to the side again.
badassfreakingoverlord: (so much for that arrogance)

And Zetta was face down on the ground, and if he were audible the words alone he was using could probably self-actualize a city's worth of clones.

A minion smashed out of a second-story window with an axe, screaming berserkly as she descended at Sam. Across the street, another warrior-type minion hefted a bus to fling it in Lash's direction, while in the center of the road, a rather shady-looking produced a fishing pole from his pocket, faced away from the battle, then whipped out a magnificent cast. The hook zipped off into the distance, then a moment later shot over the opposite horizon, headed towards pro-clone people as if guided.

"Whoa!" Sam stepped aside from the minion's initial attack, reaching out to catch the axe handle. He played at struggling to get it from her for a moment, then he smirked, and just extracted it from her hand. Then he whacked her with the flat of it to knock her out.

Ranger reflexes were so handy sometimes. Like knowing an entire empty bus was thrown at you, flying right into your path. It wasn't even a conscious decision, really, she had already jumped into the air, using her gun lasso to attach herself to the top hatch as it continued to fly into the air, landing on the road and moving along as cars moved away from it.

Hey, this was pretty fun too! Lash rode that bus in the air like she was in a rodeo. Heck the suit's powers caused her to yell out a pretty big,

"YEEEE HAAAW!" before she realized what she was doing.

The entire thing flew right into a chasm, as Lash jumped backwards and landed on the cement, watching the bus falling, falling...any minute now..

But all that was heard were the sounds of metal and windows breaking. Nothing else. Solar powered buses didn't have gas tanks which could explode. In fact, one could say that this bus wasn't going to be hard to clean up either.

"Awww...and there's no world shattering kaboom." She moved away from the street, right back to where the rest of the fight was, disappointed at the lack of fireballs behind her.
badassfreakingoverlord: (all right)

A helpful fire mage, peering out from behind an HVAC unit atop one of the nearby buildings, cast a Megafire spell on the bus. The bus didn't explode, but the spell itself had some satisfying oomph, and it DID slag the vehicle.

Okay that was a bit better, as she ran back instead of walking like she had been to the main battle with renewed vigor.

For all those who knew the normally kind-hearted Nanoha, they might be surprised to see the grave, angry look on the mage's face as she summoned a quartet of energy spheres in the air behind her - sending them to crash at the pro-government forces, guards and crew members alike.

They would explode in bright flashes of sound and color. but do no lethal damage to anyone caught in the blast. Just the sort of thing that this battle needed. But really, Nanoha had something else weighing on her mind - and a person she needed to find.

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Said person wasn't far off in their little group, so Nanoha won't have to look for long. But now's not a time for reunions! They have a job to do. And since Fate's really kind of a terrible actress, she didn't ham it up like some of the others were, and chose to just follow Nanoha's lead and attack right away.

The magical bullets Fate summoned were quicker, a tad more accurate (but not enough to actually hit anyone, hopefully), but held similar properties to Nanoha's. They were flashbombs, more or less, and if anyone actually did manage to get hit by one, the most it would do is cause a bit of stinging.
badassfreakingoverlord: (flat on my back)

That fishing hook headed right for Nanoha.

The minion that lost her axe to Sam (and earned a clonk on the head for her troubles) cheerfully jumped on him in an effort to wrest it out of his hands. Fighting for it seemed like a good way to LOOK busy without actually doing any damage.

Zetta, meanwhile, floated off the ground right into the middle of Nanoha and Fate's crossfire. A sphere hit him from the front, a half-dozen bullets walloped him from behind, and he spun back to the floor.

Lash returned to the battle a few minutes later, evading most of the remaining forces that the government had set out against them, barring their own teammates. It didn't take too long for her to spot Zetta on the ground (again).

"Your day is an end!" she said dramatically, the cheesy lines aided by the fact she was wearing...well a pretty cheesy suit all things considered. Lash fired up shots that exploded near her 'foes', but didn't touch anyone. Except maybe a poor security guard or two. And also one shot fired really close to Zedd.

Grabbing the book (which was much easier now in the suit, thank you enhanced reflexes) she ran off from the battle again for the third time.

"I'm going to tie you on some train tracks or find a harvester and throw you in there to end your reign of terror," oh god she almost burst out laughing there, and managed to add much more quietly. "Foul b-beast!"

Uh...hopefully the cameras just saw it as a clone sympathizer making away with one of the pro-government people.

A few more jumps and they were gone.

Sam kept up the wrestling facade, while, meanwhile, keeping an eye out for anyone getting incidentally injured along the way. Yes, the plan was for everyone to shoot to stun, not kill, but he wasn't sure how many of them were on the same page. He just hoped his current adversary would be on the ball enough to let him get away from her if he had to.
