A Zone of Excursion [IC Thread / Closed]

[John Richard Wright]

Dr. Z didn't even blink at the sniper round impacting 20 feet from him, as he knew that if Sasha wasn't even remotely afraid of Vinchenzio, then the larger Demons wouldn't have an issue at all. More or less. Dr. Z heard another Vinchenzio fire off another round. It didn't help, as the huge Demon things were now busy taking him back over here. Dr. Z began to laugh again. He then aimed his Encore, so he could get a better view of the action.

[Strykla]

The Snork was rammed backwards by the shot it recieved, killing the creature.
Multiple screeches were heard, before an audible roar was heard.

The ground began to shake violently, not far from Durzahg, the source of the outburst was identified, the large, hulking creature moving down the road at a quick rate, with each step it took, the shaking would become more intense.
The massive creature let loose another audible growl as it picked up it's pace.

OOC: Sorry I never responded, I stupidly engaged in a lot a RPs.

IC:
Durzahg skidded to a halt as he saw the creature. "You're... big," he said to himself. "And ugly." Durzahg's right eye twitched involuntarily.

Durzahg jumped onto a tree, climbing it. His claws dug into the wood; he jumped a little higher, grabbing the tree. Now on a large branch, he fired several rounds at the thing, hoping it would charge.

[OOC: Sorry for forgetting to respond to your post, Strykla.]

[IC]

The massive creature took the shots, however; they barely hindered it's progress, it's was certainly worth questioning whether or not it may of even noticed being shot at all.
The creature kept up it's pace, step after step, it slowly closed the gap, the massive, mutated pile of irradiated flesh and bone charging onwards.

Tremors rocked the ground that it walked on, cracking the dead road and destroying anything in it's way.
It had Durzahg in it's sights, and chances are, the hard-headed mutant would not give it up for anything.
A shadow began to loom, and in the sky were two massive winged figures, going in another direction.

The beast, enraged with the trespasser on it's territory, let out a roar of fury as it immediately came to a halt.
The Pseudogiant was getting ready to do something, however, what it was about to do was difficult to determine, nothing was immediately indicated.

Ferdinand clutched his abdomen once more, the rumbling was getting intense, his innards making a massive groaning noise.
Misha stared at him, beginning to bank forward slightly as she decided to speak.
"Ferd, have you actually ate anything since...?"

The Dragon shook his head, sighing as he looked to his female companion, she seemed somewhat concerned.
Ferdinand's eyes widened, to his approval, he heard a roar in the distance, he snapped his neck around and looked to the dead city of Pripyat, there he saw it.
"Pseudogiant, PERFECT." he said eagerly.
He tore open both of his claws, before averting his course and beginning to do a nosedive towards the same Pseudogiant that was in the street.

Misha saw that Ferdinand's carelessness had caused Vinchenzo to enter a freefall, and in a heartbeat, the Dragoness shouted out a crude curseword in her language.
She banked to the left heavily, nearly blacking out as she did so, before beginning to pursue the Human in his freefall.

Lucy listened to what Carl had to say, before sitting forward.
The idea of the military marches intrigued her, tipping her curiosity off.
"Marches from back in the military? How many do you know?" she asked.

[Saurisisia]

Carl thought for a moment before stating "Oh, 3 marches with lyrics, 5 or so without."

[Goldsaver]

Solom watched the entire scene from a distance; he decided it was best to begin to walk back to Sasha's house, and he began to head there.

[New Sheoth VI]

"OH FUCK!"

Vinchenzo quickly reached behind him and pulled the string to his parachute turning the rapid free fall into a slow dift back towards the surface.

"Its a damn good thing i kept this parachute!"

He looked back saw the female dragon comeing towards him at an extream rate.

"FUCK M-"

Before he could finish his sentance the dragon scooped him upand continued her flight path. Vinchenzo felt his atleast one or two of his ribs break upon impact.

"Please tell me before you do that next time."

[Ruskarkand]

[FULL-SIZE] (Recommended)
Misha gives chase, for good cause.

---

Misha clasped her claw around Vinchenzo, before banking upwards extremely hard, the Dragoness beginning to black out quickly from the forces at hand.
She recovered from her freefall in the nick of time, her head aching badly, she extended her wings out and braked, rapidly loosing a lot of her momentum as she came to a rest in front of the ruins of Sasha's old home.

She carefully dropped Vinchenzo down, infront of the Demon who had been waiting for some time for her return.
Then the inevitable happened, the Dragon collapsed onto the road, falling to the side and crushing a few old vehicles, barely conscious.

Sasha looked to the Dragon, before staring at Vinchenzo.
"What the fuck happened?!" she asked firmly, staring over him.

---

Lucy nodded to Carl, before directing a request towards the Ceratosaurus.
"Well, would you not mind singing one of your choice? I'm wanting to hear one, if you don't mind of course."

[Saurisisia]

"Oh, sure!" Carl nodded with a smile on her face. He then stated "I shall now sing Die Wacht am Rhein, a march popular with the Saurisian Army." The Ceratosaurus then cleared his throat before he began singing the song.

[Ruskarkand]

Lucy listened to Carl's song, fascinated by the choice; even more so by his ability to sing it.
The Dragooness looked to the Ceratosaurus as he sung, impressed, she gave a friendly smile to him.

As the song reached the conclusion, Lucy was struck as speechless, she was unsure of what to say.
She looked to Carl, before nodding at him;
"That was excellent, I..."

She trailed off, her tongue becoming tied, she could not think of anything to say.
Lucy inhaled deeply, before continuing.
"It was truly brilliant, you are an excellent singer as well."
The Dragooness paused, before carrying on.
"Surely though, someone has already told you that."

She past Carl momentarily, and in the corner of the truck, she saw an Acoustic guitar.
"I myself only know one song, but it's mediocre in comparison to what you do."

[Saurisisia]

When he was done, Carl smiled back at Lucy, noticing that she was impressed by his singing abilities. "Why, thank you, Lucy! It means a lot!" he replied before sighing and stating with a frown "Yeah, someone else sure did."

Seeing her eying the guitar, the Dinosaur nodded before replying "Oh, sure! I'd like to hear your singing abilities!"

[New Sheoth VI]

Vinchenzo was haveing trouble staying conscious himself.

"The other dragon...Droped me...Misha saved... Me."

Vinchenzo then droped to the ground, unconscious.

[Goldsaver]

Akira Solom walked towards Sasha's house; he saw Vinch lying on the floor, and smiled.
"For once, in this god damned place, a real fight, man-to-man."
He turned to Sasha.
"I am sure he has a knife of some kind on him; I'll keep him covered with my rifle, you disarm him of any weapons he might have, please."
Solom began to crack his neck as he drew out his rifle.

[Ruskarkand]

Sasha looked to Solom, then to Misha.
She sighed, looking at the Dragon who had collapsed and fell unconscious herself.
The Demon stepped past Vinchenzo, and then looked to Solom and paused.

"I need to tend to Misha, I'm sorry, I hope you understand." she said, as she carried on and approached the Dragon who had fallen.

Lucy nodded, before getting up and walking over to the end of the crates, leaning over momentarily so she could get the Guitar.
Once she had it, she moved back and sat down once more, before gently strumming the guitar to check if it was in tune.

She reached up to the end of the guitar, and began to tune it slightly.
"I learnt the song in my first days as a Mercenary, just as a way to pass the time in the zone, it also takes my mind off of it."
Lucy strummed the acoustic guitar once more, and decided that the current setting was fine.
"Well, despite how eerily similar the song is related TO the zone."

The Dragooness took her gloves off, she would use her claws to substitute for the lack of a plectrum.
Lucy inhaled deeply, before exhaling, then she started to play the guitar, leading on into the song, where she started to recite the vocals.

[Strykla]

Durzahg let out a "Hmph" when it failed to charge. He climbed up to a taller branch and jumped to another. The trees weren't too far apart, and provided he could stay balanced, Durzahg realized he could jump from tree to tree for much of the forest.

He jumped to the next branch, but had stopped shooting. His bullets probably barely registered, and Durzahg had no heavier weapons. He jumped from tree to tree, trying to outrun the thing. Durzahg had never liked primates, the flightless failures of Evolution, but he had to admit that they had a pretty good way of moving around. Flying still beat it any day, but in the battlesuit he couldn't fly, though he could hop up to five meters using his thrusters.

Durzahg touched the flare launcher on his suit, making sure it was there. He was to fire off one of them if he required pickup for any reason. He hoped he didn't have to use it.

[Saurisisia]

Nodding in approval, Carl smiled while he listened to Lucy play the song with the guitar. When she was done, he replied "Wow, that's not bad! You're a pretty good singer yourself!"

[Goldsaver]

Solom sat in front of Vinch, a safe distance away, rifle and sword in hand.
He waited for him to regain consciousness, keeping his rifle on him at all times.

[Legital]

Ten walked past Solom and towards the unconscious Vince. "Im going to check his vitals." He said to Solom, kneeling down next to Vince. He checked his pulse, which was racing, and checked for lacerations. He opened Vinces jacket and found blood seeping out from a nasty cut. He inspected it closer and found out it was a broken rib. He applied some cleaning solution and put down a layer of Bacta. He wrapped Vinces side in a medical wrap and put his jacket back on him. Ten stood up, and said to Solom, "When he awakes, I will give him some medications. He is rather lucky, just a broken rib and some slight cuts." He packed up his medical kit, "And I hope you dont plan on fighting him, he is in bad shape."

[Ruskarkand]

The massive creature that was chasing Durzahg raised one of it's massive 'arms' into the sky, and in one swift move, it began to swing it towards the ground at a frightening speed.
However, the Pseudogiant never got the opportunity to finish, from the sky loomed a heavy shadow, and in a split second, a massive, blurred figure rammed into the Pseudogiant, knocking it down and kicking up a massive storm of dust and leaves, obscuring the view.

Audible however, the Pseudogiant was quickly silenced, it seems it never survived the initial impact.
In the air rung a feint lull of a dying mutant, but the noise was drowned out by a roar of victory coming from inside the cloud of dust.
Something big, bigger than the Pseudogiant, was lurking behind the cloud of dust that was beginning to settle.

All that could be seen were a few small, orange glows; riddled all over the Dust cloud in seemingly random positions.

Lucy smiled to Carl, before sighing and leaning back against the leather cover of the truck, as she put the guitar aside.
"Thanks, it's the first time that someone has ever told me that, but I appreciate it."
She looked outside of the cover, following behind the supply vehicle was an M1A2 TUSK tank, trundling on quietly.

Lucy then looked to her flask of Vodka, and thought for a moment.
She averted her eyes, and looked to the various crates, before she decided to ask Carl a question.
"So, do you want anything to drink? Supply truck is loaded, Freedom won't miss it."

[Goldsaver]

"Check him for weapons. I won't fight him if he isn't capable."
He maintained his aim on Vinch; he felt bad about what happened to Misha, but was focused on Vinch for now.

[Saurisisia]

Nodding, Carl smiled at Lucy before stating "My pleasure, Luce."

He then sighed and looked around the interior of the truck before saying "Uh, yeah, a drink would be nice."

[Yuktova]

Nathan looked at Vinch and then turned to look at Solom, "Your anger is making you blind brother. You need to let go of what happened. You can't change anything, and neither can he,"

He leaned on the wall, and then put up his rifle, "So, when do we want to get out of this hell hole?"

[Ruskarkand]

As Sasha approached Misha, she sighed, observing the Dragon.
She took a step closer, but she was startled by Misha;
"It's alright, I'm awake, just drained, give me a few moments and I will be up."

Sasha exhaled, before taking a few more steps closer to the Dragon and putting her clawed hand on the Dragon.
"You are certain, Misha?"
The Dragon sighed, before acknowledging.
"I appreciate your concern Sasha, but I am fine."

Sasha took a few steps back, nodding to Misha.
"Alright then, rest well in the meantime."
And with that, the Demon turned around and walked back to the group.

---

Lucy got up and began to scavenge the boxes, prying a particular box open with her claws whilst she asked a question to Carl.
"Anything on your mind in particular?"

[Saurisisia]

Carl thought for moment before asking "I'd like some whiskey. If there's none, then Vodka."

[Ruskarkand]

Lucy nodded, before reaching into the crate and drawing out two bottles of Whiskey, and set them down upon the table next to where the two resided.
"There you go." she said with a smile, before sitting back down and taking her flask and the cup.

She pressed the lid of the flask in, before pouring some of her Vodka into the cup.
Lucy put the Flask to her side, before leaning back and beginning to think.

[New Sheoth VI]

Vinchenzo's eyes slowly opened. He coughed up some blood and slowly sat up.

"Ill stick to plane travil." he muttered. He then forced himslef to speak some more. "What happened to Anna? Long brown hair, white suit, ECT."
