Resistance Taskforce Strikenger (RPG Thread)

"It's decided then." Talyn said, visibly less nervous due to the words from his allies. If most of them were sure it could work, then he could at least be sure it could work. "Time to head out and do what we were brought together to do!" he shouted enthusiastically, successfully making it seem as if his doubts had never been there in the first place. With the that the group left the briefing room and headed toward one of the exit's of freehaven. On the way out each of them grabbed a set of night vision lenses, in order to see while in the unlit tunnels that stretched out from Freehaven toward the surface. As it is their resources were limited lighting these tunnels would put the generators they had managed to slap together under even more strain which they certainly didnt need.

Finally they reached the end, the surface was only a little further away. Talyn once again felt anxious as he closed the distance between himself and the surface. This would be the first time he had ever laid eyes on it. He wondered what it would be like up there. He wondered what the sun, clouds, and everything else really looked like rather than having to rely on old stories from those old enough to remember the surface world. Finally they emerged in a heavily wooded area which concealed the entrance to the tunnel. The sky was grey, with the sun concealed by masses of black clouds. The ground was moist and the air had a peculiar scent to it as well. The trees themselves were dripping wet with water that had fallen from the skies not long ago. Rain, thats what it must have been, or at least the after effects of rain. Long ago such a thing would have been a grim day, but for someone like Talyn whose whole life was spent underground it was quite an experience nonetheless. The fact that this world was completely under the control of the Dezaras was a sobering though though, dispelling the almost euphoric feeling as soon as it came. "According to Deus-X's intel there is warp network tower a few miles away from here. Lets get going." he said as he began to lead the group out of the forest.

Soon the large, dark and jagged Dezaras buildings which had taken the place of the old human made structures that used to cover these lands. As expected a Warp Network node came into view as well. Things were going well so far. "Johann, get to work on hacking the network, the rest of us will be on standby just in case trouble shows up." he said. For a few seconds things seemed peaceful until the omiious sound of a large aircraft was heard over head. Several spotlights shined down from it on Talyn and his comrades and soon groups of soldiers clad in silver armor, wielding weapns of varying types descended down onto the ground. Shockers, the Dezaras' personal attack dogs who focused as the first, and often only, response to any humans that managed to somehow get out of their various facilities. Without giving them any time to think they all charged toward the various team members. "Keep them from getting Johann, if he goes down then the whole mission is blown!" Talyn shouted as he managed to force back one of the Shockers that rushed toward him, only to get swarmed by six more of them. Soon enough they were all sent flying backwards though as a black armored figure stood in Talyn's place.

[Striker Series Black: Suit Up complete]

"Bring it on I dare you." he said as he pressed a button on his Striker Brace.

[Striker Chainsword]

Suddenly a large and intimidating chainsaw like sword materialized in his hand before he swung it horizontally, cutting clear through the Shockers that attempted to swarm him, causing their bodies to incinerate due to the Dezaras hardware shorting out. He dropped into a fighting stance with the chainsword behind him, preparing to take on the next wave f attackers that came his way.
 
Jack growled hatefully as the Shockers made their descent. Immediately they had set their sights on little Johann, and while Jack was not sure how much compassion he shared for the human, the order from his leader – his master – was as good as anything. It was the order to kill, an idea that sent shivers down the inhuman creature’s spine. The neural inhibitors in his brain crackled, realising a portion of his true self; they were designed to slacken a little more depending on adrenaline levels and the length of the fight, but if they released too much, he was in danger of losing consciousness once they snapped back to their regular function.

“Protect…Johann,” Jack murmured, as if he was capable of seeing a human as a friend. He raised his Striker Brace and was engulfed in a column of green light. The armour materialised around him and magnetised itself to his skin.

[Striker Series Green: Suit Up complete]

Now fully prepared for the slaughter that was to come, Jack grabbed the two nearest Shockers and put their heads together, concaving them with a hideous SPLATCH! sound. He flung the corpses at the next two and grabbed a fifth by the throat, lifting it into the air. The Shocker struggled against him. Jack tilted his head sideways for a second before driving his fist through its skull. He retracted it, covered in gore and bits of sloppy brains, and dropped the body, crushing what remained of its head underfoot. The Baphomet, the Beast of Freehaven, licked his lips and pressed a button on his Striker Brace.

[Striker Sniper]

“Bring…on,” he uttered, imitating Talyn, and opened fire with the weapon.
 
As Johann followed his fellow teammates to the surface it was a amazing site to truly be able to see. Johann wanted to touch and examine everything he could, but then again they just didn't have the time for that. As the shockers began to charge in towards the strikengers Johann smirked as he opened his brace, and a blue pillar of light surrounded him. The striker gear armor began to materialize as a grey bland looking suit and soon after materializing the gear attached itself to Johann's body. After attaching itself the visor on the helmet closed and the suit then changed from grey to blue.

[Striker Series Blue: Suit Up Complete]

After his brace announced that in it's very cool voice Johann then said," Alright lets start this." Johann ran towards the warp terminal and as he charged forwards he pressed the second weapon scan and it said,"

[Hacker Gauntlet]"

Johann then swung his fist downwards as a pillar of light in a short amount of time materialized his Hacker gauntlet. Soon though a shocker had broken through from Black's and Green's front they were holding and Johann smirked as he waited for the right time and swiftly thinking as the shocker lunged itself at Johann," Sidestep to the right, grab neck, activate." It was amazing how looking at a split second Johann had already figured a plan out. The youngest then went with his plan and he sidestepped to the right and grabbed onto the shocker's neck and he said quickly and at a whisper," 10100010010100111001011010." Soon then the Shocker turned around and threw his blade at another shocker, after that it ran forwards and tackled two other shockers and self destructed itself.

Johann then ignored the battle and headed to the warp terminal. While there he pressed his hacker gauntlet onto the terminal and he began to look through every open gate to try to find the terminal closest to the warehouse and soon he found it but was blocked by security. Johann then said," Guy's I'm going to need half a minute if that is ok?" With that said Johann was breaking through their twelve firewalls as fast as he could hoping to be able to break into the warehouse terminal.
 
Even if the weather was, darken with grey clouds proving that it had rain upon the surface Emma breathed in deeply of its scent. Staying close with the others coupled her hands collecting the droplets of water from the trees. The platinum-hair young woman observed it only for a moment as it dripped to the ground rolling off her hands. This was fresh water untainted by the earth’s mineral soil. However, it was not properly boil for consumption brought it up to her lips savoring the taste.

"According to Deus-X's Intel there is warp network tower a few miles away from here. Let’s get going." Talyn spoke leading them towards the forest exist. Realizing that she had fallen behind Emma moved quickly so not to be left behind. "Johann, get to work on hacking the network, the rest of us will be on standby just in case trouble shows up." Moving to stand by Johann’s side Emma smile softly resting a hand lightly upon his shoulder to assure nothing would happen while they were near. However, before she could even utter anything to Johann was soon blind by the spotlight shinning down. They were discovered.

“Protect…Johann,†Emma heard Jack murmured trying to refocus her eyes from the flash only to catch sight of him being engulf in a column of green light. There was that distinct tone in Jack’s voice and rather vicious movement against their enemy. She knew very little of him and yet felt the same connection she shared with the others. This was neither the time nor place to be concern on such matters moving towards three shockers that dared to advance on the cat-eye boy from his blind side. Furrowing her eyes Emma rushed forward using the lessons that Madison taught to defend herself. Her skills were elegant and yet nowhere in comparison to her sisters.

“GET AWAY FROM HIM!†Emma answered in a stern tone flipping one of the Shockers into two that trailed with it. As the three Shockers moved to free themselves from one another Emma moved quickly back embracing herself. “Johann please make this quick…if you can…†Emma answered calmly raising her brace. Even if they had practice utilizing their special suits, the feeling that washed over still had taken her to get use too. To counter this reaction Emma closed her eyes as the column of white light

[Striker Series White: Suit Up Complete]
As the column of white light faded in Emma place a white armored figure stood taking on an elegant pose extending a hand out as if inviting the Shockers to come towards her. As if answering to the challenge they charged forward. “I’m sorry†Emma whispered moving the other hand down to her waist.

[Striker Pistol: Rapid Shot]

Raising the Striker Pistol above her head for a moment position it on her arm for a more accurate shot. As one marked knock one of the creatures down to the ground Emma dodged quickly to avoid the returned fire.
 
Having made it to the surface with Talyn and the others, Madison also took note of the gray skies that enveloped the area. She also took note of the soil, which was muddy due to the rain that fell moments before their arrival. I missed the cool feeling of the air after the rain... Madison told herself inwardly, taking a deep breath of the air, which had a faint but pleasant scent to it. She would have been able to enjoy the cool, crisp air some more if it weren't for the fact that she was blinded by a spotlight that focused upon her and the others. Not long after that, she noticed a group of Shockers -- the Dezaras' standing goon army -- marching towards them, causing her to grit her teeth with anger.

Hearing Jack utter "Protect...Johann" in a somewhat robotic way, Madison knew that it was time to throw down with the goons. Raising her Striker Brace, a bright Yellow Light began to envelop her body, causing a sturdy yellow armor to form, conforming well with the curves of her body.

[Striker Series Yellow: Suit Up Complete]

Having completed her transformation, Madison flicked her right wrist some upon noticing a group of Shockers armed with short swords rushing toward her. Unlike Jack and Emma, Madison opted not to use a weapon, instead choosing to rely on her deadly kicks to knock down Shocker after Shocker that attempted to take her down.
 
Elizabeth took note of the dark sky and the surroundings she saw upon getting to the surface with the others. Gee, this is such a cheery environment...and I thought things were gloomy down there... She thought inwardly. Soon enough, they were beset by Dezaras forces and she sighed. On us like white on rice...is that the saying? Oh, speaking of which, I have to see if it's possible to grow rice down there sometime...

Hearing Jack go all monotone robot on them, she knew well enough what to do now. Raising her own Striker Brace, violet light came forth and soon gave away to armor that fit the young woman's body perfectly.

[Striker Series Violet: Suit Up Complete]

Bringing out her Striker Pistol right away, she switched to the power setting at once. Smirking some, she saw a few Shockers head her way and fired off a shot once they got close enough. The force of the blast blew a rather sizable hole in the minion's chest, and Elizabeth had smashed the butt of her weapon in the faces of the other two Shockers, flooring them and having them join their friend on the ground.

People like to spit on the Mercer name? Forget them...they don't have the guts to do what I'm doing. She told herself as she fired into another group of three Shockers.
 
Talyn had always known the Striker Suits were powerful and tough, his in particular due to certain specific mods in the series black gear, but he had no idea just how powerful until today. This was real combat, not just practice against some dummies dressed up in salvaged armor, these were the real thing, and the fact that they seemed to go down just as easily was truly amazing. It reinforced his belief that they could actually do this, that even with their small numbers they could manage to strike one hell of a blow against the Dezaras. Needless to say, it was a much needed booster for the leader of the group, who was still having some trouble settiling into the role.

The Shockers, while weak, were also quite numerous, at this rate they could end up tiring themselves out before they could even get to the next phase of their plan if they werent careful. Talyn himself seemed to take on a more defensive style in this fight, usually waiting for a group to close in on him, before taking them all out with a wide swing ofthe Chainsword, like a baseball player perfectly timing his swings. "Hey Johann, you almost done? These things seem to just keep coming and coming!"
 
Johann smirked under his helmet as Tahlyn asked him and he said," Of course I'm done this was nothing but repetition." Johann opened the warp terminal and then soon all the shockers in the entire area vanished. Joahnn smirked and said," Good thing there is a canyon not to far from here. Now gather up everyone." Johann began pinpointing their location and then as everyone had gathered to the terminal he warped them all to the terminal behind their target warehouse. Johann then stepped away from the terminal and said," Look you guys do your thing and I'll guard the terminal. Just don't die." With his hacker gauntlet at bay he waited for everyone to start their objectives.

( OOC: Everyone say you warped in your post so I didn't god mod please.)
 
"Relax, everyone here is going to be coming back alive." he told Johann. "Alright everyone, just a quick reminder, Madison and Emma will be working on releasing the stored slaves as well as gathering stuff into a single centralized spot to make it a little easier for Johann to transfer things back. Elizabeth set your explosives around the building and at certain points within it. Jack you and me will be patrolling the area around the warehouse. Chances are it will be a few minutes before they arrive but they will be coming you take to the air and pick them off and I'll be on the ground hacking them up." he said choosing to give everyone a quick review of their objectives before they moved alright.

"Now lets get to work!" he shouted before heading off.
 
Elizabeth nodded. "Don't worry...once we are done here, this place will blow up nice and good..." She said this before heading off and began to carefully and quietly set her explosives. Gotta be careful of guards...I probably should get ready to take any out that might spot me or my explosives prematurely... Thinking this, she set her Striker Pistol back to it's normal setting, to be more discreet if she needed to be.

Elizabeth had a plan of placing her explosives on the outside first, and then would do the one ones inside the corridors next...
