A few days go by as the group awaits. A few situation reports to the higher ups and a lots of 'Stand by for more orders' lead Sasha, the RSX Agent in charge of this mission, to become very dispondant. The Jackal girl, who is of modest build and in only a pair of denim shorts and a white t-shirt walks around the large military truck that she is using for a TCP. Cerris and Kilsa were taken back to RSX HQ for a serious talking to about things, while Biggs, Wedge, Dio, Casey, and Alkain remained behind waiting for the new agents to arrive.
"Any word boss, on what is going to happen?" Biggs a slightly overweight human asks, "None, now get back to manning the 50 cal." The jackal responds. Then she gets down out of the driver's seat and walks around asking, "How are you holding up?" To Casey, Alkain and Dio. She takes some binoculars out and scans the herrizon for the new agents to arrive, growing more impatient as time goes on.
In the truck, a silver lion yawns and stretches, reaching his large arms towards the metal sky. Dio rubs a bit at his eyes, attempting to remove any sleepiness and looks around for his shotgun, and notices it right where he left it. "Getting a little tired of waiting to be honest. We've got things to do, and there's... well... This," Dio points towards the tied up and infected phoenix. He picks up his shotgun and raises it to his shoulder, aiming it towards Casey. "Try not to use any of those powers you've got."
Herma popped out form a tunnel that was breaking up the ground above hir, just like Bugs Bunny was famous for in cartoons. Sie a rabbit herm of build like some sort of pagan fertility idol, Looked at the group comeing up behind hir, Herma could tell that there was some good odds for a compleat success. And if sie played hir sexual wiles right, there might be an after mission celebration sex orgy. Sie brushed the dust and dirt off of fitted heavy armor that accentuated hir hyper curves and then gave a wink to the group that called for back up "Hello everybody! I'm hoping that I took the right turn at the state border. You guys called for reinforcements right?"
Makena giggles
The talakai has been lamenting the loss of Sithra, Smokie and Angus for the past few days. Alkain looks over at the others and grumbles as he shakes his head, "Other than the fact that three people died? I'm peachy!" he sighs and looks out the window of the truck, he's just wearing some custom fit jeans, some armor and holsters for his weapons really. As Herma pops out he blinks in shock, "The hell..." then it registers that shi is an ally and he smiles weakly as he rolls down the window, "Hey there... You should get in."
It's hard to say just how Edel arrived arrived on the scene. Perhaps she was dropped off by a helicopter and walked the rest of the way. Perhaps the cosmic forces came together and she just manifested there. Well, maybe not that one, it's a bit of a stretch. Regardless, she is there, now, and approaching the truck with her hands up. "Heeeey, are you the guys that requested backup?" She really hopes they are. She doesn't want a mixup with any groups armed like they are.
CaseyRune wakes up in pain, hung over and... tied up. "Deja Vu..." The roll over to look at their 'captor' "Well of course I'm not gonna use that power, it hurts to use damnit, not to mention takes a while aye? Whats with the rope?" behind them they start trying to cause a small fire on the knot closest to their hands. "Its not like I'm going to start eating people or something."
Makena is always looking for ways to help, of course! Just recently she up in Promethian territory, speaking spanish and helping make new friends with a pack of rats from Mexico! Now she's here--they say there's going to be bad guys, maybe? She's had to deal with bullies before! Sitting in the vehicle she giggles a bit at Dio, using his shotgun as a laser pointer aimed at Casey. "Hehehe, you pretty good with that shotgun?" getting out her puppet, doin' another voice and looking off to the side so it nobody'll suspect it's her doin' the voice, "Not that I'm one to brag but I'm a fucking surgeon with this shotgun..." gigggling more, pointing a finger-gun at the fox, bein' all serious, "Yeah? Well I'm Annie Oakley and I got you right in my sights..." The little fox puppet pointing it's little paws towards Makena in turn as they contest eachother for positioning.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the HMMWV, or as people more commonly called it, the Hummvee, the ungodly uncomfortable seats toted as a feature than than a problem. She looked out the window as the woods passed by as the vehicle bumped and rocked on the uneven ground. She almost wished she had her rifle, but the call up for people to help with a potential problem that was likely to be a threat to everyone. Which was why she was coming in as a mercenary as opposed to a direct representative of Zephyr Inc. Granted, she WAS a merc in the employ of Zephyr. So it wasn't a problem for her to 'switch sides' as some would view it. still, she had her combat knife, her pistol, and that weird fucking chainsaw like sword that she'd been handed during her orientiation back at Zephyr Inc's HQ. For her, she was planning on doing this job, get paid, and maybe earn a bit extra for her work in the field. Better gear and the like. Hell, more of an allotment for her loadout would be useful. As it was, she was still getting used to the fact that she was a woman now. As the vehicle pulled up in front of the truck in the middle of boom fuck nowhere in Oregon. Stepping out, she looked over the motely crew in front of her. "RSX reported you people needed extra hands. You need a Marine?"
Pawprints seem to appear across the ground. Suddenly, a loud noise is heard as Harbringer trips, smashing her fresh prototype stealth system "Fuck, that was twenty four hours worth of progress down the drain!" she shouts angrily. Slowly, she stands to her feet and stands with the rest of everyone else "I hope RSX actually pays me." She notes harshly, noticing a few familiar faces in the group. She dusts off her nude form and ajusts her cloak "Well, time to nut up or shut up."
A rather faint noise starts to spread, after a few moments, the noise turns out to be an engine, not just any engine, an aircraft's. A medium-sized cargo-plane seems to be passing overhead, utilizing two propellor engines. Just as it reaches above the truck, the cargo-plane opens it's rear door and a large cylindrical object is pushed out, the object closes in on the ground, it's height decreasing every moment, just a few seconds before impacting the ground, the object opens a parachute, landing safely in the dirt next to the truck. Looking closely, the object is actually a pod. The door on it is soon launched out and falls on the ground, someone emerging from inside. A skunk, wearing a green woodland camo and a dark green headband with a backpack of the same color on him. On his right upper arm a band can be seen showing a cross. "Combat medic reporting for duty." The nametag on him reads "Ahm".
Biowind has been flying twords the ditress call that was relayed to the Promethean HQ and decided to go and join the fight in hope of helping. To make it to hir destication sie had to active hir combo of Felina Agility and Wind Buffet to make it. Sie looks down and see's the group and supricingly hir mate so to make a little show sie dive straigh for hir mate. Sie grafuly lands behind her and pick her up to hug her and kisses hir mate then looks to the group "Hello Goo Wolf Biowind reporting for duty from Promethean to help with the mission."
on
Another engine noise approaches, this being a jeep. It passes through part of the camp before it pulls to a stop and discharges a Lion herm in a polo shirt. A tall lion herm. SAhi seems pretty calm at first, tugging on a strap that belongs to a med kit as shi starts trotting away from the vehicle while it starts zooming off. "Zephyr agent Kori, temporary field medic. .. Could someone point me to the medical tent, if there is one." Apparently those guns make hir nervous, shi's eyeing the emplacements with a good bit of uncertainty.
Landing around fourty or so yards from the group. A woman strides toward the gathering, "I heard someone needed backup and thought that you guys could use a doctor." She strides much closer making her easier to see. Shouldering an odd looking bag, the woman moves to just a few feet away. Standing there she casually pronounces, "The name is Dr. Lillian D'Montay, I look forward to working with everyone". She scans the group for any familiar faces and taps at her beak idly.
Makena giggles, poking the fox puppet in the belly, but not before it can "pew pew!" with it's little paws, makin' her fall back against the wall of the hummer, makin' a "uggggh" sound and holding her chest, the fox making a similar reaction to Makena's near-simultaneous death blow. "nuuuuu" it says as she slips it back into her backpack.
Looking around at everyone arriving Sasha is very shocked, "How many did they request!?" she asks flailing her arms a bit at all the people. Biggs and Wedge get back into the truck and make preperation, "Do we even have enough food!?" Wedge calls out. Sasha looks around, "Ok, ok, short situation report. We are here, at the TCP, about 10 klicks south or so is our foe, the Wolf Packmind pack, they have been circling us for a while now. And.. well, our job is to stop their advance. So far we have held this point, but we need to mount a counter attack." She looks to Dio, "If I recall right, I left you in charge Mr. Lion, so, feel free to take the lead her." she says and hops into the back of the truck herself to secure supplies.
Nods, drawing her pistol. "So, we got some nasty afflicted to go after, and not a lot of time to do it. Oh, by the way, forgot to mention, I'm Glein Herrick. Who's leading this outfit in, and how we looking to do it? Ground insertion or what?
Edel adjusts her goggles and folds her arms behind her head. "Looks like a decent turn out. Medics, too. Well, this will be good, at least. We'll be safe. As safe as we can be when dealing with things like this, anyway." As an afterthought, she adds, "I'm Edel, for anyone that cares to know it."
Ahm moves over to Dio's side. "Any estimate on enemy count, sir?"
Lillian thinks for a moment, "So are we doing this as a siklent operation? Or maybe a balls to the walls let's go rambo thing?". Unsure of where they were actually going and what to expect. "We need a plan".
"Speak of the Devil," the semi-formally dressed silver lion chuckles, taking a brief glance to look upon the newcomers, but soon returns his focused to the currently infected individual. "I see that some of you really wanted to put on a show with your entrance. I certainly hope most of you know what you're getting into... My name's Dio, and yes," he returns, nodding towards Makena, "I'm alright with this weapon. Gets me where I need to go." The shotgun in question homes in on Casey's head, the lion's finger holding the trigger and ready to squeeze at a moment's notice. "You don't want to eat anyone NOW. If I detect even a little spark from you, and I'm firing." Hearing Sesha's explanation, Dio nods and slowly rises from his seat.
"I'm not actually the leader like the implies, but I'm sure we have a mutual understanding of what our objective is. I hear that some of you came in another vehicle, which is wonderful. We're after the packmind. Beware anything that isn't us. One wrong touch, and you might be gone... Lost in the packmind. We're moving out. If you don't have a mode of transportation, please jump in with us or someone else's vehicle." Dio coughs into his hand, taking a deep breath before continuing. "Check your weapons, trust your teammates, and let's move out." The lion looks towards Ahm and says, "Infinite, which is why we need to destroy the source. We don't really have a plan, as we have no idea how to actually combat it. So, we'll see when we get there. LET'S MOVE."
Alkain blinks as all the help arrives and shakes his head, "Wow..." he looks to the rest of the origional group and shrugs, "Think this is enough fire power?" he hmms at newbies and chuckles a little, "I'm Alkain, I wish this was under better circumstances though..." he looks to Ahm and sighs, "Thousands at most..." he winces at a thought and shakes his head in an attempt to dispel them, though he looks sad before he nods to Dio, "Let's get going." he looks at Makena oddly and shakes his head a bit
Makena giggles, looking around, "What if one of them becomes one of us? Isn't that how the packminds work? You know like the BOODDYSNATCHERRRRS!" waving her paws around for emphasis, "onne of usss... one of uss..." makin' a zombie face as she creeps towards Dio
CaseyRune sighs, trying to sit up with a shotgun in their face. "Well that's just unnessesary. Really." They look out the back of the TCP. "Oh joy backup... HEY! Can one of you untie me? 'fearless leader' here is being paranoid."
After ensuring that their supplies were tied down and they had enough food for at least two days, Sasha jumps back out the back. "Good more rigs, we are going to need it. Well, you heard the lion, mount up, and lets move." Hoping up into the truck she smiles at Casey, "I'll untie you, when I can turn my nanomagic on and you not wolf out on us." She says as she sits down in the passanger's side. Biggs and Wedge snap themselves in the back again, all ready to move out.
With a quick turn that made hir breasts and nuts swing in her fitted armor, Herma looked at Alakain and then pressed her breasts together while sie makes a kissy face. "Oh are you sure it's that big of deal. We're here already arn't we? With all these people, and it looks like they are starting some bondage play already." Herma pointed to the tied up Phoenix... Then she noted Harb decloak with the sound of something breaking and winces " Harb, Oh wow, if you and Bio Wolf are here then I know that there is a good chance that I'm going to have sex after the mission is over." Herma laughed as then looked Makena and Casey and answered the latter's questions "That depends... Will you promise to let me knock you up?"
Glein nods. "I got a Ma-Duece on the HMMWV. Whoever wants to man it, better you know it. Unless someone wants to drive?" Glein asks, walking back to her hummvee, and opening the door, noting the driver had done gone over to the truck. "Yeah, gonna need a driver on this thing."
Harbringer checks her shotgun, looking inside before looking back to her busted stealth device "For fucks sake...." she mumbles, looking over to Biowind "Well, this is going to be really fucking hard now..." she whimpers, hugging the goo wolf tight. Looking at all the other people, she quietly whispers, barely audible "Harbringer here, Expert necromancer. If anyone is actually gonna die, just shout out. If anyone is dead, ring my dinner bell...." before walking over and climbing into the back of the truck.
Lillian looks between the vehicles and decides on the Humvee, pointing her finger at it she yells, "Shotgun!" and books it for the front seat!
Biowind chuckles at Hemra's comment and then fallows Harb to the turck and jumps in to sit next to her. Looking around the group and only knowing a few of them sie turns to hir mate "ok honey I'm a little new so I'll stick with you and back you up."
Edel moves to climb into the truck. "Yes, the sooner we're out of here, the better." She taps a button on her sword's scabbard and settles in for the ride.
With his free hand, Dio lightly pushes Makena back with an annoyed expression growing on his face. "Cute, but please, it's time for business ma'am. We've got things to do and people to save. Also," the lion turns towards the others, threatening them with a fierce gaze. "No one will be untying him without permission. He's infected and a danger." He shoots a glance back to Sasha as his attention is caught by the word 'nanomagic'. "That nanomagic you used to create a bubble nearly fucked us over. Do NOT turn that on again without permission. I will fire upon you. Turn on the engine and hit the gas. We're gone."
Makena giggles, "So how do we beat them up? If we touch em are we doooomed? They're really infectious right? You could get PACK-JA-VI-TIS...."
Ahm walks to the back of the truck and as he wants to hop in, notices all the shenanigans and changes his mind, deciding to get in the humvee. "Well, guess I'm manning the turret." He climbs in on the back and pulls himself up by grabbing at the edge of the hole in the roof, standing up and checking the HMG.
CaseyRune peers at Herma "My pants are staying where they are, thank you very much." They heave another sigh at Sasha "Welp, I haven't grown fur in... never and I didn't let the regular nanites screw me over so what makes you think these will?"
Alkain glares at Herma and shakes his head as shi shows off, "I just lost two friends, I'm really not in the mood..." he heaves a depressed sigh as he looks at Casey, "We'll untie you when we can, or..." he sighs again and shakes his head
Glein chuckles. Check the ammo. I borrowed it from the RSX when I left their HQ. I don't know how much they left me when they gave it.
Okay, WHAT was that about dinner? "..." Or maybe that was just Kori's imagination. Hard to tell one thing from another sometimes. "...I am going to need my crossbow, aren't I." There was jut a little delay in hir reactions as people started calling out seats on a vehicle. Looks like a group about to move out. "Wait, what? Bubble? Great. So I'm going to be working in conditions where my more base abilities are fucked over. Such is life in the wastes I guess. Going to have to rely on my supernatural abilities. How much food we got? because using that magic stuff makes me fucking hungry."
Makena giggles at Dio, "But how can you tell he's infected? Did you check his teeth? How can we check if *you're* infected? hehe"
As everyone is getting ready sounds can be heard coming from the far south! Sounds of loud growling, yipping, barking and yapping! Sasha looks over to Dio, "We have something going on, and something tells me we should get moving!" Looking over to Dio she growls, "Ok, 'team leader' I'd be the squad leader, so I out rank you, but if we don't get moving we might have something worse on our hands then what we already had going on!
"Your rank can kiss my ass," Dio shouts, hearing the impending trouble closing in. "Hit the gas, NOW! Get ready on those turrets."
Lillian starts thinking a bit, "So I'm guessing that this won't be your first encounter with these Dio?" Her interest piques with the howling.
Ahm takes out his walkie-talkie, trying to contact Sasha. "Ma'am? Just to be on the safe side, what should we expect in the form of enemy attacks? Do they bite and scratch or should I look out for projectiles also?
CaseyRune lies on the floor with a very 'here we go again' look on their face. They decide to go back to sleep to mitigate their hangover for the time being, since well there wasn't much they could do anyway.
Makena giggles, "Hehe, so while Dio's busy totally not caring about who's in charge, could someone tell me *how* you spot a packmind infection? Like, before we all die? hehehe"
Alkain winces at the howling and shakes his head, "Crap..." he looks at the others in the truck and nods to Dio, "I agree, punch it!" as he gets back into a seat, he looks at Makena and sighs, "They are wolves, feral wolves. They'll be about the only things out here."
Growling, Glein slams th door close. "FUCK TALKING! RACK THAT DUECE AND GET IT READY TO ROCK!" She yelled, reaching under teh wheel to turn over the engine. As it roared back into life, Glein grabbed the clutch and cranked it into position to drive. "You! Passenger, Your name? Also, you manage the radio, you keep us in contact with the rest of the convoy." She hit the gas and made the engine roar a little louder to prepare to drive off as soon as the truck began moving.
As they move along, Sasha gets on the radio, "Listen up, the only way to spot an infected is if they are infected and transfroming, they fight using only claws and teeth, at least as far as we have seen. ANd just to be - OH MY GOD!" The sight is incredible! Hundreds... no.. maybe thousands... Uncountable numbers of Foxes.. Wolves.. fighting each other, biting, some turning to goo, other transfroming and joining the other side. As the trucks and others enter the area, that familiar feeling of comfort and stregth returns. A bubble is present... or no... more then one!
Harbringer looks down at her hands, then to her book. "I think i'll get some reading done on this book." She notes, holding up a skin covered book. She flips it open and begins reading "Okay....chapter one. How to be scary in case you are seen."
Edel stares at the chaos and draws her pistol, favoring a long range approach for the time being. "Yeesh. Look at all... This!"
Biowind looks over the group and see's that everyone seems very powerful compared to hir. But can feel that with hir stratigy of combing hir powers sie should be ok. Looking to the phoenix tied up sie can smell that something is slowly happing to the bird and decides to keep a close watch on it while keeping close to Harb.
Lillian looks at the animals ahead and busts open her knapsack and begins mixing plants together into a salve. "I don't know who of you here have distinct musks, but you might want to throw this on to mask your scent as prey. I'm not sure if it'"
Makena giggles "But the Phoenix there is, well, a phoenix! Right? hehe. I know if someone gets bit they prolllly got infected, but what if we don't see them get bitten? What are... hehe... the Warrrrning Signs... Do they crave marshmallows? Do they Become Marshmallows? "
Ahm pushes the trigger with all force, muzzle wide open, yelling "Die you bastards! Die!". The empty bullet cases jump one by one out of the .50 cal, creating a track behind the humvee.
Lillian looks at the animals ahead and busts open her knapsack and begins mixing plants together into a salve. "I don't know who of you here have distinct musks, but you might want to throw this on to mask your scent as prey. I'm not sure if it'll save your life but it never hurts to try."
Kori looks at hir supplies and curses. "Shit that's a fuckton of ferals. These must be those pack things, right? Makes it much worse." Shi starts mumbling some kind of chant under hir breath right around then, the tattoos around hir eyes lighting up with a pale silver-ish moonlight.
Alkain shakes his head as he readies his mauser and looks to Makena, "He was bitten." he looks at the war going on and shakes his head more, "Geez... That's... Not good." as he readies to shoot at anything that approaches the truck
The gun fire quickly dispatches some of the foes, who... seem only to melt and reform nearby! To rejoin the fighting! Up on the turret, Wedge continues fire from his gun, but, there seems to be no end of them! Fighting on a large group of the wolves turn toward everyone, and the foxes try to catch them!
"Shit, there are TWO packmind species now," Dio shouts, looking up the scene in amazement and a slight hint of fear. "Keep firing and moving, NEVER STOP DOING EITHER!" The lion digs around and finds the nanite grenades he's been holding, thinking this would be a fine time to test his theory. With a prime vial loaded up inside, he primes it and throws it into the crowd of ferals.
Harbringer lowers her book and slips it into her bag at the sound of all the firing "Well, looks like this is going to be one fuck of a ride!" She yells, unslinging her shotgun from her cloak, cocks it and lowers it to her lap for safe measures "Well, hope we all got death wishes."
CaseyRune opens one eye at the rest of the group, seeing that there appears to be more than ample distraction, sets the knot on fire and starts wiggling out of their bindings, making sure to keep at the back of the truck so they can jump at a moment's notice.
Growling hard, Glein hit the accelerator and turned the wheel to follow the truck. Grabbing the radio mic, she hit the transmit button. "How the hell do we propose to get through this? We ain't exactly doing a lot of damage to them with the 50s!" Glancing behind her, she grunted. "YOU LOT BETTER BE USING THOSE DAMNED WINDOWS TO SHOT OUT!" She yelled at them, returning her focus on the road.
Biowind smile and chuckls at Harbs comment "I have to agree with you but now." Sie flexis hir wings, while keeping them in, and then tests all of hir tentectls by making them grow then shrink. Looking to the human sie see's it trying to excape "STOP RIGHT THERE!"
Herma Lept into the jeep and grabed hir favorite Laser Rifle... with a symbol of a cobra on it... Yeah.... "Time to put some distance between us and them! Let's run like Cobra Commander does every eppisode!" Herma then blasts at the packmind like a mad hermaphrodite.
Lillian tosses the salve backwards and pulls out a small sword an shield which begin to crawl with electricity. Her clothes begin to glow as well with the horn on her head. Lillian rolls down the window and yells "Drive me closer so I can hit them with my sword..." She thinks for a moment... "I got a better idea, let me gun for a bit."
Makena giggles, pulling out her Omega Blaster, aiming it out one of the windows. It fires a huge blast of energy out at the approaching pack--designed specifically to score a knock-out punch, and slow them down--remaking the local gravity a bit and causing some stumbling--in addition to some pretty substantial damage.
The grenade goes off, trying to transfrom some of the packs, who desolves only to rejoin the fight! The wellspring must be close, or someone else maintaining BOTH packs. They quickly regroup and attack again! They split up, some going for the truck some for the jeep and hummvee. There are too many, far far too many to possibly be stopped by small arms fire!
Alkain shakes his head and growls at the wolves as he fires at them, "Damnit... Damnit..." he eyes the foxes too and growls, "Get us out of here already!"
Edel lowers her pistol and frowns. "I don't have enough bullets on me for this." She quickly holsters it and draws her sword, instead, the blade crackling to life. "This will not be pleasant, no."
Harbringer gives her shotgun another cock "Fuck, might as well help...." she grumbles, peering her shotgun through a hole and blasting rounds at the ferals "There are so many!" she whines, blowing holes through a couple as they drive "How the fuck did they make all of these!"
Kori looks out a window, aiming hir hands through it and spraying fire into the fray. This is not a good time to bitch. "I can't summon Ra here, if I'm right their souls are unified like their minds so its a very bad idea. .. Need o get at the sources of these things and shut them the fuck down somehow!"
Ahm begins to curse as the HMG he's manning overheats. "Shit, HMG's too hot!" He quickly pulls out his laser pistol, trying to kill as many as he can with it while the .50 cal cools. The laser pistol malfunctions, melting itself and burning Ahm's paw really badly. "SHIT, my paw! My Goddamn PAW!" He quickly gets in the back of the humvee, covering his paw in bandages and tries to rest. "I'm gonna be out for a while, can't do anything with a messed up hand like this." He decides to just follow the others until his paw heals up.
Dio watches intently as the scene goes on, impressed by the grenade's result. "That worked just as I thought. Although, there's too many of them to really make a difference with these grenades..." The lion walks over towards Casey and begins cutting into his rope. "As long as you don't go crazy on us, we need all the help we can get. We have time for hard feelings later."
Glein grunts. "Someone up the sunroof! Keep that MG roaring!" Grabbing the radio again, she hit hte transmit. "We need some god damned air support! We can't engage on teh ground!"
Lillian hands Ahm a balm, "Here use this on your hand" she yells as she hops up to the HMG. "This heat isn't anything", she thinks... Her eyes and hron glowing she charges up a bit of electricity focusing it into the rounds as they come out of the gun. If she couldn't hit them with her sword she may as well try to paralyze the nanites controlling them. Lillian begins to fire into the fray.
CaseyRune sheds the ropes, "Told you it was unnesesary." They get up, drawing their pistol in one hand clutching something in their other, a small charm made to look like a golden dragon. "You know what? I haven't done this in a while..."
Makena giggles, "Maybe they don't show up on infra red at all!!!" as she waits for her Omega Blaster to charge, drawing the Killing Joke to lay down a suppressing fire while the blaster cools down for another volley.
Herma Gruneded, taking aim with hir Single handed acid gun while using the other too.... Masturbate. "Anybody in this truck want a protective coating of cum?
Biowind stands and walks to the back, since sie doesn't have any guns on hir sie decides to use another tactict. Sie moves the now transforming Human assighd to start to Howl out the back at the packminds trying to cause a little disraction so to help the others recover a little ground that they have.
Harbringer stares at Herma, semi raising her hand before lowering it "Not entirely sure what that would do against these packmind chaps, Sugar." She teases before pulling out her own acid gun and beginning to blast at the critters running by.
As the party fights on, weapons blazing and trucks moving, the wolf pack continues to fight! Curiously the foxes don't try to attack the party, instead continue to work against the wolves and the wolves only! Though many efferts are made to keep both of them at bay, all three rigs are eventually over run!
<[18%]Dio><Epic Quill Wag> Wolf Pack Finger Bully takes 452 damage!
Twisting the wheel left and right, firing her pistol out the shattered window, cuts all across her left side and face, trying to get the creatures off. Just as suddenly, the vehicle was airborne, resulting in a very deep "OOOOHHH SHIT!!!" from Glein as the vehicle lept over a small cliff, the front of the vehicle slamming into a tree. Jerking forward, she slammed her head onto the steering wheel, dazing her long enough for one of hte creatures on the hummvee to get a solid gaze onto her arm. "FUCK!" She hissed, coming to her senses long enough to draw her knife and cut the creature's arm still reaching in. It backed off for a moment, long enough for her to kick the door open, slamming the creature into a tree. Grabbing the radio Glein wasted no time. "We're being overrun here! We have wounded and are being overrun!" She barked into the radio, throwing it onto the central section, while grabbing her laser pistol and firing on another of the creatures.
Lightning strikes, from Lillians horn lashing out at three of the feral beasts. Trying to keep her balance in the spaztic moving vehicle. She pulls out her sword and shield when the Humvee comes to an abrupt stop flinging her from the turret. She does her best to regain her composure, addled by the sudden stop throwing her to the ground. She lay on the ground praying to her diety to send a soothing rain before it was too late.
Makena giggles, leaning out the window a bit, giggling still more over something that's gotten her attention outside! Her tail wiggling behind her, giggling away before firing off another shot from the cannon. Something's definately pretty funny!
Lillian shakes her head and lifts off from the ground taking this fight to the skies.
Biowind starts to feel hirself faint from over use of hir howl and falls down to the floor as sie use the last of hir breath to say "help Harb," and falls into unconsiness.
Kori tumbles about in the vehicle when it goes out of control and ends up slamming into a tree. It flung hir from the rear of the vehicle as the feral wolves start swarming it. Hir first reaction was to jump into the tree using all of hir natural agility to do so, moving from branch to branch like the oversized wildcat shi technically was. Unfortunately for all of hir efforts to keep hirself alive, the wolves made a little pile to follow after hir, climbing on each other's backs to reach the higher branches in a very pronounced display of unified thought and coordination. Either they sensed power or it was just the fact shi was a Lion and therefore cat that drove their actions. Cats and dogs hardly mixed in the natural world anyway as the stereotype went. This was not a good thing in any manner of thought, because shi was the group medic and without a medic, the others would be very easy to tear up. Maybe that was the other reason, maybe they sensed it. Still, hir efforts to get the high ground ended up futile when one of the wolves bit hard into the ankle of hir left foot. The yell shi let out was rather loud as she emitted retaliatory whisps of fire to force it to let go, only for another to catch up and do the same thing, then another grabbing hir by the wrist, and another on the other wrist like they wanted to drag hir down. By this point hir limbs were pretty well crippled and hir only recourse was to self-ignite hir own body and get into the air...unable to aprtake in the combat any further without working hands, knees, or feet with so much tissue damage to the tendons and joints. At least shi can hover above the field,so long as they don't try to follow hir up. And then there was that nanite problem. Weren't these infectious? Shi hopes hir own magic would help protect hir from their absorption schtick thing. Keep hir mind intact, and body too. Hopefully.
As the jeep and humvee are over run, all those inside quickly falling to the overwhelming numbers. The truck is similarly assulted, but Sasha... abandons ship? No, wait, she was picking through Dio's pack! Grenade in hand she looks to him, "GET US THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW" she yells out and jumps out of the still moving truck! She rolls on the ground and pulls the pin. Meanwhile the truck itself is overrun! However, sitting in the chair where she was, is her Mira made rocket launcher. She sprints to the damaged humvee, and the grenade goes off with her still holding it! The now Shadow Vixen doesn't stop while she pulls the two from the jeep into the back of the hummvee. The wolves all about her turned to goo, she looks over to the truck before, jumping into the driver's seat and making sure to avoid the injured driver by pushing him, as gently to the side as she can, floors it back north. Meanwhile, 6 foxes break off.... hiding in the trees.
Herma Sceams as things get a bit... EXPLODEY!
Harbringer stares at the unconscious Biowind "Aww crap" She whines, tears in her eyes. She picks up the unconscious form and flips hir arm around her shoulder. She begins to shiver and lean forward and back, having a small panic attack "It's all gonna be fine....It's all gonna be fine..."
Edel narrows her eyes behind her goggles and pulls her hood up, keeping her sword at the ready. "We really need to get out of here." Way to state the obvious.
Herma softly churrls, "Okay! No IFs ANDs OR BUTs about this I'm going to cover us all in protective cocoon of jizz. Harb, Start pumping one of my dicks, your life may depend on it... And if we don't survive I want to die happy."
Harbringer holds the shotgun in one hand and Biowind in the other. She looks over to Herma "Get your ass over here then, i'll use my mouth." She yells, laughing.
"Wait, what are you doing," Dio shouts, watching as Sasha runs through his pack. The lion tries to stop her, but without a driver, things were going to get much worse for the party. "Fuckin' hell, this is going to shit quick." He races his way to the driver seat, noticing an interesting looking rocket launcher. "Yo, someone pick this weapon up who ever can fire it. Shit could probably pack a huge punch. WE'RE MOVIN'" Dio slams on the gas pedal and starts driving around to keep the group moving.
Alkain blinks as they are surrounded and winces a bit, "Well, I don't know about you guys... But I don't intend to go out without a fight!" he looks over at the rocket launcher and then climbs onto the roof before lifting off! He takes aim at the wolves surrounding the truck and calls out, "GET AWAY!" before he launches a rocket
CaseyRune drops to their knees clutching their head "No! I'm not going to join you! Stay out of my head damnit!" They try to keep themselves focused on the charm, not the voices that are invading their head or the intense pain that's currently wracking their body. They can't get very far with their hands trembling and pretty much every synapse in their brain working to keep sanity. They eventaully start coughing up reddish-purple goo onto the floor of the truck.
As the four rockets fly off and blow up, one in front of the truck, one off a bit aways, and two more in the think of things, and Dio takes to the driver's seat. Everyone makes it out... at least alive. Those who were in the jeep and humvee are indeed infected, and seem to start showing slight signs of it, however, they are far from the bubble before much can happen. On the radio and in her own rig, Sasha calls out, "Everyone, report in, conditions, now." She shouts, and stops a good 20 klicks away from where they were, near the border. Once stopped, she gets out and looks around. The 6 foxes start walking up from the treeline!!!
Harbringer stares at Casey, eyes wide open "Never mind. Gonna need to take a rain check on that Suck job, Herma. We got bigger problems...." she whimpers, dropping Biowind and pulling up her crossbow.
Edel stares at Herma. "If you hit me with that, I'm going to chop it off myself!" She turns to Casey and directs her sword to him. "Watch yourself, there. I have no issues with taking you down if it comes to it."
Makena has her fox puppet on, "Ohhhh why...! whyyyy!" as the fox puppet seems to be acting out a bit of a wound, cough coughing and lying on the window frame. "roooosebuuuud...." Makena giggles through her choked-up act a bit, "He.. heheh.. he had the heart of a champion...!"
Dio picks up the radio close by, bringing it to his mouth to respond. "Seems like everyone is fine for the most part. However, it seems our phoenix friend is getting worse by the second." The lion leans back into his seat and lets out a relieved sigh. "I can't believe we made it out of that place alive," he mumbles under his breath. "Hmm?" Dio peers through the driver window and notices the incoming foxes upon their position. "Get ready on those guns," he commands, "But don't fire yet! They aren't attacking us like the others..."
Lillian staggers along, visibly injured. She releases a cloud of spores from her bag, "Everyone breathe deep. these will make you feel better"
Glein groans, kicking the limp wolf body off her. "Sonvabitch!" She growled, her left arm throbing like a bitch. Walking to the front of hte hummer, she leaned in over driver seat, she grabbed the radio. "This is Herrick, we got wounded here. And our vehicle's in bad shape. Engine block is basically crushed. We're gonna need evac here soon." Letting go of the transmit button she looked at everyone else. "How you all holding up?" She asked, looking them over.
Harbringer looks back and sits on Biowind, using him as a seat "There we go. Now he's safe under my tush." She looks around at the other survivors "So, who else probably messed their pants just now?" She asks, giving a fake smile "I mean, those wolves just destroyed two trucks on their own."
Alkain eyes the foxes from the air and shakes his head as he eyes the other vehical, he winces a bit as he lands back onto the truck, "What are they up to I wonder..." before he hops back in
Kori continues floating in the air, thankful that the pack seemed to have no further interest in reaching hir. The others below though. "I'm fan-fucking-tastic!" Shi yells down, using a parody Vegeta tone. "its all gumdrops and ice cream up here!" Already hir nanites were working on relairing the damage to hir joints, though it felt slow. Even hir jelly nanites seemed to be sluggish in handling this scale of injury. "I'll be able to feel my arms and legs in an hour, I think!"
Makena giggles, her fox puppet calling out, "Get em' boys!" at the foxes going after the wolves
Herma grunted as sie put hir dicks back in to hir tight suit of heavy armor but was still grumbling "Fuck me man... none of you know to power of the cum shield at all."
CaseyRune is trying desprately to focus their thoughts while supressing the infection from spreading further through their body. Its not going well, Casey's stubborness might just be killing them. Though they keep a tight grip on the charm, almost crushing it in their grip, their attempts to focus are making very little effect, almost futile one could say.
As the call comes in that there are wounded, and undoubtedly infected as well, Sasha slumps over. She sends up, "Mission Pack Slide is a no go, I repeat, Mission Pack Slide is a no go, returning to base." That is when she notices the foxes coming up at the group, she pulls out a pistol and is about to fire when one of them calls out! "STOP! Says the feral looking fox. They TALK!? "My.. my name is.. Daisy, I'm Daisy, and we.. I am a part of the Fox Pack. We.. I.. it is so odd being seperated from the others... No harm, no harm we want to you, but, your infected, from Wolf, we.. I need to talk to them. They, can't be cured, or if they can.. I.. we don't know how, but... we can help them, instead of being a part of the mindless Wolf, we.. I.. us.. replace their nanites can be replaced by those of the Great Sage, the Fox Mind... they.. could join us.. me, we? Anyway, they could join with us, or we could let them keep themselves. They would still feel the pull... the hunger, but.. they would stay themselves." The female feral fox offers looking about, "But... there is only one way to replace the nanites.... sex... or bites." She says, looking away a moment.
Harbringer lowers her weapons, deciding if it's been this long since she's been attacked, she'd be dead by now. Slowly , she noticed something. Walking over to Makena, she whispers something into her ear and waits for her responce.
Dio looks back at Casey, becoming increasingly worried as the pain continues. However, being outside the bubble, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for the time being. "Hmmm, so a wiser packmind is it? They could just be tricking us to join THEIR pack. I'm sure they'd love our biomass. But..." The lion reaches over for his shotgun, pulling it to his body and getting up out of his seat to aim it at Casey. "You hear them? I'll give you two choices: Either take yourself up on their offer or I shoot you here and now. There is nothing in between. Make your choice."
Herma pops her head over to the conversation for the fox, with hir pants un zipped and a serious hard on that made one wonder how sie ever fit in the truck at all "Wait! If sex can push out the wolf infection, Why can't our own nanite rich cum do the same?
Makena giggles at Harbringer, whispering somewhat audibly to the fox-puppet, sort of wide-eyed, "Are you a wizard...?" and the fox puppet poses, all mighty and strong, paws at where it would have a waist... you can perhaps imagine him with a pointy blue hat, which Makena is quick to improvize by slowly lifting a triangle-shaped paw up behind the puppet's head. It starts making little waving motions, casting spells here and there. She giggles, leaning over towards the feral fox with her puppet and asking, "Hehe" stopping her giggle and getting back to another voice--a more wizardly fox voice, "hmhm... how do you do??"
Alkain blinks as he hears a strange voice and pops out of the top of the truck again, he peers at the fox and shakes his head, "What... What about those taken by... Taken by the wolf pack?" he looks at the fox for the answer
Lillian Nods to the pack of wolves and agrees to go along with their offer, they seem much wiser, and much more coherant than the wolves.
Glein grunts. "I got one question. How screwed up is this gonna be? I'm sorry, I would rather be a dragon than a fox."
Edel glances towards the foxes and places her sword away, seeing as there's no threat. "It certainly does sound like a better fate than whatever the wolves had planned. I'm thankful to not be infected at all, though."
Sasha lowers her weapon, and gets back in the truck, "Do what you will, but after we are done here we are leaving, quickly." She says. The fox nods to her then to everyone else. "Well, the power of the pack consumes all that it comes in close with. But, one pack can consume another. With enough of us helping you, we could overwhelm the wolves within." Already one joins Lillian and one Mekena, one over to Casey, and one to Herma. Soon, there is a fox standing next to each infected, with the one talking saying. "If you go with the wolf, your mind may be lost, with us, at least, you can keep that. You would join us momentarily, but could leave anytime you wished." She says, then, each person's fox looks to them, "The choice is yours."
Alkain nods to the fox as he thinks a bit, "Protection... If... If I join you would..." he ponders, "I would be able to fight the wolf right? Could I potentially pull those who were recently taken out?" he looks nervous but hopeful
Harbringer looks at her fleshy book for a moment, and then to Makena and the puppet, nodding "I'm good, mister......" She tilts her head for a moment "Does this foxy wizard have a name?" She looks over Makena "And i don't think i got yours either." The vixen finally gives a curtsey, holding her cloak like a drape "You may call me Harb, personally."
Makena giggles, her fox puppet bowing politely to the feral fox, "Hmhmhm... I am in your humble service, m'lady..."
Herma softly churrls, "Wait I wasn't infected! What's with the guy next to me? I'll admit his todger looks nice, but mine is bigger and I have boobs too."
Glein eyeballs the fox next to her. "Yeah, is this gonna take turn me into a fox? So far, I've found the dragon mutations I've picked up to be hella handy."
Kori starts drifting closer to the ground as hir strength starts to return (and hir physical ground mobility). "Son of a gum-chewing funkmonster! Why the fruit does all this funny stuff happen to me? Forget my life! Always surrounded by failing clods, like this whole world just likes to bend me over and find me in the Alps! Like I�m some sort of schlop receptacle. Well, as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a fancy barbecue with a God damn pig!" The talking fox, out of a group of foxes with the exact same appearance. It caught hir attention and so shi stopped ranting in the direction of the wolves. "Wait, what? Hey.. Um... What about someone with...not-nanite powers? I mean, I'm pretty much magic here...with a little nanite...like jelly, the milk, a skunk spray... So.. What's the verdict on that?"
Alkain frowns a bit and sighs, "Well..." he thinks a bit and nods slowly, "If it'll protect against the wolf... I'm in, I'm not saying I'll stay. But if it'll help..." he sighs a bit, "But I'll only join if the others make it out alright."
CaseyRune coughs up more red-purple goo, "You want me? Fine!" They put their head right up against Dio's shotgun. "Do it, I want to face this bastard myself." They steel themselves for the shot and the coming battle of wills. This will not be easy.
Harbringer smiles, looking at the fox puppet "How polite." before turning to give her final words "Just, try to keep them out of the graveyard, please. It's my only concern. With that, i bid you Adeau." She notes, turning and walking back to the truck.
"Very well," Dio growls with an intense gaze. "You've made your choice after being warned." The lion's finger squeezes the trigger of his shotgun, releasing a deadly blast of pellets into Casey's skull and a loud booming sound through the area. "What a fool..." he whispers beneath his breath as he lowers his shotgun and returns to his seat.
Makena giggles as she was a bit prepared for Dio to turn his gun on someone again, leaping in the way of Casey's head
Kori eventually makes contact with the ground. It hurt to stand, but shi can stand without help. "... I guess I can find out. I want to do the shift here and see if it works, but I can't. I can't feel the link to my patron. I still have the spark but its weaker without her link behind it. ... I have to get back inside a nanite bubble. I might have an interest with you foxes later, if you have any in a humanoid form I can try to talk to...when I think I have the energy to handle it and keep my mind intact, and soul. I like being my own person."
Herma finally has a break down when sie sees Kori force the nanites out... "Oh god... this... This was a close call for me... bad day for me... Makes me feel like I'm inadaqute for these sorts of jobs." A tear drops from her eyes. "I'm not Kori, If something infects me I'm toast!."
As the volunteers are rounded up and taking off toward the woods. There they are given their choice of how to recieve Fox's gift, sex or more wounds. By the time they are done, the Wolf is purged from those infected by him, and the Fox placed inside each, slumbering. For a small moment, only a small one, those added to the Fox Mind would see it. The inside of Fox's dream. It looks like a paradise! Green grass, lush trees, even a waterfall, a river, pure blue skies. A boxom woman in fox skins looks to those who are there, "Welcome, this is the community that is Fox, you are welcome here anytime, but for now, go, go back to yourselves, and know, know that you are a part of Fox, welcome to our tribe." Then a sudden pull as your minds are all returned to their bodies! That done, The truck is made ready, supplies shifted around and room made for everyone, the trip back up to RSX HQ started as soon as all are ready.
Harbringer walks back into the truck and covers herself in Biowind's frame. She seems happy to be reunited with her mate, smiling happily. She rubs into hir and prepares herself for the long trip ahead.
Makena is giggling over something with her fox-puppet along the way back, who's still doing a bit of magic on folks in the humvee along the way--presumably humorous acts of vigilante vandalism
Glein grunts, walks back to the truck. "Honestly, being used as a chew toy has got to be a better option than pleasing them sexually. I swear, if this whole thing has been one bad event after another. And I'm gonna have to get my arm bandaged up nice and tight. It's gonna be a long recovery till we get back." She mutters, having put a imprompto sling for her left arm in the mean time.
Kori will be back eventually to take up the offer the foxes made. Maybe not now, but in the future perhaps. For the NOW, shi is still in some pain, hurt, and healing slowly without the bubble to help. Shi climbs into the least damaged vehicle and lays down carefully on the seat, which is in a way a bit inconsiderate due to hir size. But hey, those are some fucking gigantic breasts almost as big as hir body. So free pillows. "Can we go back now... I'd like to stay and smell the flowers, but I would prefer the bubbles and the benefits of accelerated healing they give. And so would the rest of you when I can use my milk effectively again."
