The truck stops in the middle of a small village, somewhere in the town hall is a small server running to make a bubble for it you are told. It looks like any other village on the US west coast could have looked before p-day, even with a small diner and grocery store, both open for business. The only real difference is the people in the streets, as there are hardly any humans, but mostly anthropomorphic forms of animals like dogs, horses, cats, etc. Though there is quite some life going on in the streets, however most faces seem to be frightened of something ...
A tall golden scaled dragon clad in heavy combat armor departs the transport, at hir side is a old and battered laser rifle well maintained but showing its age. Upon the dragon back numerous medical packs for maintaining the health and wellbeing of fellow Zephyr agents. Seguro's long powerful tail sways slowly behind hir as shi awaits for the rest of the agents to depart.
A scruffy-looking human hops out the back of the truck, donned in an old army jumpsuit and plate carriers, a fairly nice M4 pattern rifle slung to his back, even past the gear looking more like a hapless greasemonkey tourist than a serious threat. His duct-tape constructed backpack jingles metallically as he looks around for any sign of why they might be there. "This better not be some Twilight Zone/Lottery bull." He actually did a quick gesture for the slash.
Fenris hops cheerfully from the back of the transport truck and straightens the long coat he wears so that it hangs comfortably across his shoulders. The big tanuki smiles around at the busy street. "Wow! Old town USA!" he says, "I like this place!" He tugs the bottom of his leaf-marked t-shirt over his hefty belly and waits for instructions, his fat tail waving slowly behind him. "Place could use more smiles, though," he says, "It would make things feel homier." He leans on a long spear with a leaf shaped blade.
Lina looks around from the top of the stairs. Making a grimace at the small town then she shrugs, and hops down from the stairs. She flex her wings and stretches a bit. She doesn't wear any clothes just a collar around her neck, black and white fur cover most of her body.
Semtexagon would look out from the van, scratching her head a little as she makes a last few checks on her chain sword... she's been put out into trouble some times by now, but have learned to defend herself. slowly rising up as she exits the truck, seathing the sword on her back as she does a few tightnings on her combat vest, not the best geared agent, but she could make a diffrence as a striker.* "ugh, i hope this isn't something that serious..."
A kaiju-sized metallic insect follows the truck from behind, as Epsilon would be too big to fit. As her regard graze around the small village, she notices both the others agents and that the village doesn't seems very special. Probably a place ledt unscattered by the nanites? Hopefully, things wouldn't go wrong this time around, not with her around.
Yuna hops off the truck, smiling widely as shi looks around the village. Walking to hir mate Seguro shi says "Well, looks like we finally made it so we're on a mission together, huh? And in such a nice place, too."
The people in the street turn to look at he agents, but mostly ignore them after a few seconds. It takes some time until finally a boar in pompous clothing comes to the assembled group. He looks them over, then asks "So you are the agents New Dawn sent us? Great, looks like you really can help" as he eyes the agents and their equipment. "thank god you finally arrived. We've been attacked by raiders for quite some time now, but until two nights ago, all they took was food and some equipment, but now they've begun to abduct people as well."
Seguro begins to look over the assembled agents before falling on the large kaiju, smiling the dragon says to a friend "It is good to see a face you can at least trust, how have you been agent Epsilon?" Seugro's sun hued gaze falls back to the boar quietly listening to the mutant's tale.
Althought Epsilon is working for the RSX, with the emblem on the back of her armor as a proof, but doesn't point it out as she deems it to be not revealant for the time being. Instead she lowers herself to be closer to the ground and asks, "Abductions? Why would they do that, ans who are they for doing it?".
Then she feels a wierd feeling on her back as she notices a familiar face, and says, "Oh, hey there, Seguro.". Also giving a quick glance around, she notices Yuna, before adding, "I see you came along Yuna for once?".
Fenris does not like to see so many Zephyr agents in a town with their own server. Not after last time. But if it will help these people, he is willing to overlook it. Besides. It was the corporation that deserved hating, not its individual agents. "They targeting anyone specific?" he asks, "Why would they start taking people if all they wanted before was supplies?" The tanuki bounces gently from foot to foot, ready for action.
Lina looks around, measuring up the boar. - "So will it be just raider hunting or do we have to get out the abducties first? That will be extra money isn't it?" - She scratch her horns with the wipe she is holding. - "Do we need some reinforcement? I could call in a small pack if needed." - She looks at the others. - Oh, i'm Lina by the way.
Semtexagon would be looking around the area slightly, but eventually finding herself wandering a bit over to the edge of the town, frowning to herself as she sees all thoose rather terrified mutants... a sad sight to behold, to live in fear.
The human pulled on his sling. "Alright, who do we got here?" He had a slight southern accent. "What we got is we got a little fox critter person, we got a bug lady, we got that little racoon dude I saw a little while ago, Lina looks pretty different... Aaand that dragon dude and... What the hell? Y'all can get that big? Holy hell, how do y' eat when yer that huge?" It took a moment for him to not be looking at the huge metal spider lady, mouthing curses. The hell. "Uh. Yeah, A.C. Dodson, call me Caulford. I'm with Zephyr Maintenance." He cranes his neck from the mayor boar to get a better look at the city. "Lemme at yer buildin' stuff, maybe I can make with th' defensing this place up. I ain't really that big a fighter."
Yuna stops in hir tracks as Seguro seems to completely ignore hir and goes after hir mate, beginning to climb up the dragon's back. When shi notices the boar, shi stops hir climbing, freezing on Seguro's back and listens to what the maior says. Shi lets hirself fall down once he's finished and begins to assemble hir recurve bow, getting ready to go after the raiders, though begins to feel smaller than ever as shi looks over the group of agents.
The boar shakes his head "We have no idea, why they do what they do. All we know is that they show up at nearly the same time every day. And it looks like you've just arrived in time" he exclaims while pointing behind the group, where suddenly another group of people has appeared. There are about ten different mutants there, all looking sternly at the agents. They all look as if they were looking to cause trouble to the village. One of them takes a step towards the agents "Hey! What are you folks doin' here?" he shouts, snarling.
Seguro jumps feeling a form climb up hir back, the dragon's regal head sniffs the air, shi catches the scent of a person shi knows well, the dragon hisses to the small form on hir back. "Yuna well, you the last person I figured would show up, perh�.. Seems we have company. Please make me a promise Dusty fox, you must never use your nova when there are innocents in harm's way, it's a power that may fell armies but will burn friend and foe alike. " The dragon readies a power, soon ablative layers of nanites gather around the fellow agents warding them from harm should it come to that.
Here comes trouble. From what the boar said, they are maroons that come here for their own greed.
Epsilon does a quick sign to Seguro and Yuna, implying that she's going first and says, "Here comes trouble. Oh. Also, the name's Epsilon.", before heading in front of the bunch.
Standing in front of the bunch, she says, "Hey punks. Wha' are ya doin' here. This place's none of yer buisness.", as she removes her gauntlet, showing off her clawed hand, and readies herself for a fight.
"Tanuki! Mister Dodson!" Fenris says with a smile, sauntering over to lean on his spear between the group of rowdies and the town proper, "I am a tanuki, and don't you forget it!" The hefty coon dog smiles at the ruffians on the street. "Just here to help," he says amiably, though he is quite ready and able to use that weapon of his.
Lina moves her jaw right and left she seems to be a bit irritated, she calls for her minions. - "So how much bounty are we getting for a live one and how much for a dead one?" -She stands back and let the others for the front line.
Semtexagon would turn her head as she draws her chain-sword out from its seath on her back, twisting a button as she starts it like a chainsaw, soon the engine on it whirrs as the chansaw-blade on the edge on it starts to move, the bee thumping a fist at her chest as she shouts at them* "You assholes are the cause of people being terrified, you lowlife inarogat snotblobs!"
Caulford jumps up in place when the goon squad came around. No time to prepare. He looked disappointed. "Aw, fuck, couldn't they have waited?" He muttered, adjusting the sling on his carbine. "Mister Tanooki then. You got any plans other than banging on some shields until they eventually do start th' fight?" He needed to prepare. He needed to prepare. "I don't suppose you lot're here for hospitality's sake?" He called out to them.
Yuna puts an arrow on hir bows string, pulles back and aims at the leader of the opposing group. "Hey, you're the ones that cause all the trouble here, right? How about you just turn around and show us where the abducted people are and i leave my arrows where they are? Be warned, they are poisened and not the only-goot-to-knock-you-unconscious kind of poison!" shi shouts out, quite enraged as shi's been abducted hirself once.
The raider's leader just laughs at the threats "We're not showing our hideout or slaves. But enough talk, ATTACK!" he shouts out, then he and the other raiders charge at the agents, most of them wielding clubs and other crude weapons.
Semtexagon would be shouting at the crowd, tough soon stopping as she allmost all of a sudden leaps into the air... but comically enough, she hadn't taken note for the strong winds in the air, and being an insectoid isn't really the most heavy thing, so as she jumps, she gets carried further and further up into the air, trying her best to remain in a better position, but failing rather... comically.
Seguro moves with the large kajiu, the dragon soon fans out from the insects side, there is the smell of chorine in the air as poison spills from the dragon's jaws, Seguro takes aim at the attackers making sure the gas will not hit hir fellow agents.
Slaves? Then they are up to no good. And maybe it would be a good time to use her custom needle as she pulls it off with her left hand and aims first for what seems like the leader. "You're not doing anything to them toda, guys!".
Since they are numerous, her body starts to work, creating and spewing sticky webs from her hidden spinneret and starts to throw them at the group with her clawed hand before lunging at the closest bandit.
Fenris shakes his head and whips his spear into action. The hefty tanuki lays about with his spear with surprising dexterity, striking and slapping viciously with both ends. "Completely uncivilized," he groans as he fights, "I would have much rather settle this over hamburgers or something."
Caulford tries to take cover behind a building and deploy his little buddy. He liked his little buddy. It was a helicopter blade with an M249 barrel and reciever attached, milled special to fit. He then decided to load the chamber and get ready to pick his target. Fuck all of this, he's not a fighter!
Lina starts to use Expansiveness as its instantly effecting her and with her mastermind skill her minions got the buffs, she steady her whip to use it as Sharpshooter. The minions works coordinated readying Protein Shield(4), Triage(3), Quad Punch(3), Electric Field(4)
"Fine, you asked for it" Yuna whispers, more to hirself than the raiders, then fires hir arrow at the leader, taking a second and fires it at the next enemy.
The charging raiders quickly fall to the combined attack of the agents. The people slowly come back into the street, looking at the scene in disbelieve. The mayor comes running over to them, thanking the group for what they already did. Though with the raiders all down, there's no way to just ask where their hideout is ...
Seguro waits for Epsilon to tie up most of the bandits, before injecting one of the bandit with an shot of adrenaline, the dragon hisses under hir breath about a waste of medical supplies. The dragon watches and waits for the hypo to take effect.
Thoses bandits were small fries. And probably low-ranked. Which would tell a lot about the villagers' fighting capabilities... Regardless, Epsilon ties up the bunch, so thar they don't try their luck again when they would wake up. And they wouldn't be too hard to move around wih her size.
Making sure that the awoken(?) bandit would be able to move but not to flee, she turns herself toward the group and says, "Whoever they are, they were pretty weak. Sray sharp.".
Lina while the other mess around with reviving the dead raider she pats down the rest of the riders beginning with the one who started speaking for them. She looking for maps, valuables, weapons anything pawnshopable or unusual.
"Completely uncivilized!" Fenris snorts, poking one of the ruffians with the butt of his spear. Thanks to the nanites, they will be up causing problems again in no time, but hopefully eating street will teach them a lesson. "So, these bozos just walk into town to gerrorize everyone?" He asks, "Anybody see where they come from?" The tanuki looks back over the dusty streets, hoping to find hints of where these bandits might have come from.
Fenris gets the paddle for the turn skipper!
Caulford pokes his head out. "Is the fight over? Did we win? Are the people okay? I hope the people are okay." He gets back from the building and checks out his drone buddy. CDD-1E was doing just fine. He looked around. That's a lot of blood. "... I hope all the town folk are okay."
