Best Gadget Buddies [Open]

[morphitudinous]

There was only one destination in mind when the war started: work. Billy had dashed down to the transportation tubes, arriving on the first floor when he'd hit a snag: a robot swarm already assaulting the Med Bay and Special Weapons. But that wouldn't stop him: his coworkers and friends could be there, and the lab could easily hold the key to fighting back. He'd struggled and shoved his way through, roughed up very well by the time he crossed the threshold of his lab.

The hordes were closing in. Only his guns and a narrow doorway stood between Billy and death, and so far it seemed that death was gaining the upper hand. Would there ever be time to cobble together a better solution or escape? He doubted it. Not unless help arrived for them.

(ooc: Defend the laboratory? Your characters can be trapped with Billy rigging together some kind of defense system or trying to get through to him. If it gets bad, though, they might all have to escape and blow up the tech...)

Hit Girl was glad to see they weren't the only ones in the mix: it looked like Zouichi was here too, and that was good: she had never met anyone quite like him, and figured he would be someone you wanted to have your back.

She wasn't going to stop to talk to anyone though: so long as those robots had the ability to shoot at them, she wasn't going to give them any chance to break through, and Ruffnut was still the only one with an actual piercing weapon. The glock full up, she was back to taking out the guns the robots sported, letting the guys have the chance to take them out.

Hit Girl would start on directly shooting the robots soon enough.

Ruffnut leaned into a wall and shrugged off Mindy trying to be careful as she put her back on the ground. "Sorry. Even I'm not good enough to fight with you up there."

And then she was off, rushing headfirst like the damned fool she was into the fray roaring like a monster shield out in front of her ready to bash the first machine off it's feet, and shove her spear directly into the chest of the next.

Her planted foot would shove the lower level mechanized man back to pull her spear free so she could shield bash, stab and repeat on whoever was closest after that.

Either she had a death wish, or she really really wanted to win. But the look in her eyes was wild unbridled lust for battle.

Smashing robotic heads open was not what Hana's weapon was intended for, but it seemed to be taking the role switch very well.

"Hi, Zouichi!" Hana grinned, smacking into the side of a robot to knock it over, then bringing his stone sword down with a hearty smack to coat the floor with scattered chips.

"Bye, Zouichi!" He pulled himself up and went charging into a group of more mechanical men.

Reckless as ever. Zouichi dismounted, allowing Fuyu to get to a safe distance with the backup fire. He fired the gravity gun point-blank into the crowd with one hand -- the other he reserved for wielding the axe and cleaving metallic limbs from robot bodies as he waded his way into the mob.

Intermittently, he'd switch off with the coil rifle, using it as crowd control when the bodies became too thick. Plenty of dakka to go around.

God, but it was annoying having to deal with this injury! She couldn't move like she wanted even though she was much faster than Ruffnut, and though she had her bow, it was still really annoying, having to stay in just so much space. So that meant she had to rely on her guns for the moment, and JUST her regular guns. No Zetta gun or the one she had from Negi, wherever he was.

She focused instead on taking out the robots in front of them, particularly where Ruffnut was fighting, so she could take them out easily. If she was able to spare a moment, she did the same for the guys.

Bullets were flying, metal was twisting and screeching and Ruffnut was laughing in that dangerous psychotic way. This was the world she was born for! Chaos, pain. Her body jerked forward and a burniing sensation in her shoulder became overwhelming. She tried to whirl about on the offending attacker but her left arm was numb and not rising. She could smell burning flesh and melted steel but couldn't see the injury.

With her shield hanging uselessly at her side she swung her spear arm harder knocking the head off of the robot who had shot her. Tears stinging in the corners of her eyes she simply grit her teeth harder and continued the fight.

Hana was in the middle of pulling his weapon from the broken chest of an enemy when he narrowly avoided a shot from his left that made him realize he was surrounded.

Scowling, he ran towards one of the robots, scaling it in a few powerful strides and kicking off it to escape the circle before doubling back to begin smashing his attackers.

Zouichi spared several blasts from his rifle to cover the others, but when he saw Lash's robot wading into the mob, he changed course to follow her. He'd be best suited to drawing weapons fire if he could get to a higher location.

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

She saw where Zouichi was headed, and she wanted in to help, but she was also just as mindful to Ruffnut's injury. She decimated what was remaining of the robot and hopped off Ruffnut now, knowing full well that if she didn't, Ruffnut would be hard pressed to take out more robots on her own.

Hit girl was just going to have to punch her way through, and get her leg attended to. After that, she would be back in action.

"Why won't you stay down?!" Ruff roared at a particularly stubborn group of bots who kept trying to get back onto their feet. Finally Ruffnut began knocking the heads with her spear trying to take them clean off, or failing that bring her heavy shield down ontop of them. But with her injury the spear was getting harder to swing each time. Her muscles already burned begging her for rest.

But she fought on, regardless of the price.

Hana turned his head to look over when he heard Ruffnut yell.

Big mistake.

You shouldn't look away in a fight.

There was a sudden pain in the back of his leg and he felt it give way.

The stench of charred flesh made him gag as he pushed himself up off the floor.

One of the bot's had shot him when his back was turned, but he resisted looking at the wound and instead moved to pay the machine man back.

"Back it up!" Hit Girl yelled to Hana, taking the robot out. Dan it all and damn this fucking leg! She didn't need any more reminders that she was just a fucking human!

And now Hana got hit too: that was just about the last thing that needed to happen. Her leg was in pain, but his was actually hurt: she couldn't allow him to face this all with his actually BURNED.
