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...)

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.

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.
