Lizzie stalks down the streets as quietly as she could, keeping an eye out for the ferals as she heads toward the library. Every few moments she darted her eyes to the skys as well, wary of another assault by the things from before.
Fenris is worried. That air battle cleared up fast. And it had been too long since the crash and the grenade explosion. Something should have come sniffing by now. The tiger pulls up short, staring around wildly. The air battle was over. Why was he still hearing a rumble of thunder? In a flash, he remembers reports of a giant goblin around this part of Woodfield. "We might have a problem," he says quietly, looking around for cover.
Edel keeps a safe distance from the group, creeping along the edges of the building as she draws her sword, nodding. "I will remain ready, just in case," she murmurs.
And on the tail end of that warning there is indeed a heavy reverberating through the streets. Then comes the rapid hammering sound of automatic weapons nearby, though they are hard to pinpoint and echo wildly. Incoherent shrill screaming rebounds and then a loud bone chilling roar before before the rumble of an explosion. Despite it's vacuous nature it was getting closer whatever it was.
Lizzie freezes at the sounds echoing out, head moving as she tries to pinpoint the location and direction the huge sounding thing getting closer was. "Son of a bitch. Hide! Maybe it'll fuckin' pass by us." She moved to the closet bit of cover she could find and took shelter there, firearm ready just in case. "Sounds like it's wounded or damn well pissed off."
Fenris slips silently into a side alley, praying that nothing else has already taken up residence and wildy trying to pinpoint the source of the thunderous noise. There just wasn't time to make a break for the library.
Edel crouches down, a bit lower to the ground than she already is and skitters off into an alleyway, waiting for whatever made the noise to either pass by, or open itself for a good ambush.
Just as Fenris ducks out of sight, his alley and the next two side streets come alive with a few dozen goblins and a trio of ogres running for what could very well be their lives. They are soon followed by the towering form of a giant woman, her clothing in shreds, bleeding heavily from several gaping wounds in her thighs and one in her side. Before she can get even three steps out into the main street a blast opens opu betwwen her shoulder blade sending her to the ground in a spray of flesh and smoke.
"Fuck you! Fuck you *in chorus* You're cool!*end chorus* Fuck you, you're out!"
Another blast destroys one of the giant's shoulders flipping her onto her back and a pair of massive tank girls come trundling in, slapping palms in triumph before their final shot turns the giant's head to mist.
"Okay fuck faces, we are going to fuck each and every one of you in the face! WITH BULLETS!"
So saying the pair lock their treads and prepare to open fire. Guess what, this entire fight? Everyone is right in the middle of it and the tanks are between the team and the library.
Fenris
Fenris needs a better view of the situation. With all the commotion going on, he takes a chance and wings his way to the top of the nearest building.
Lizzie stays in cover for the moment, waiting for the goblins and ogres to give a distraction at the very least. She clicks her tongue and watches from her cover, actually tempted to see if the tanks would let her join in shooting the other creatures if it didn't sound like suicide.
Edel peeks out from her spot in an alley and frowns. Maybe she should try to just vacate quietly? Or maybe not. She turns around and looks for any kind of fire escape within the alley that she could use to ascend.
Angus could not believe his luck coyote ass as he stumbs upon a troop transport, the thing was military he knew that but the werewolf holding a Gatling gun was of a group that he didn't know.... He prayed that it would be easy to hotwire as he climbed into the drivers seat and started to lean down to get under the dashboard, when he noticed the key was in the ignition... "....Where's a lottery ticket when you need one!" He turns the key, starting up the monster of a vehicle before he puts it in gear and starts off in the direction of his friends. When the two tank girls come into view he slows the vehicle down and shuts off the lights, cocking an eyebrow as he stares. "Well fuck...Roadblocks ahead, and they look pissed!"
Lizzie spots the transport and runs over toward it, ducking down and moving fast. If nothing else maybe the armored transport would provide plenty of cover. "Open it the fuck up!" She yells out as she tries to slip inside to get a move on from a far safer position as long as those guns couldn't blow through it in one go.
Fenris looks over the situation from his higher vantage point. His stomach leaps into his throat as Angus roars up in his newly aquired transport. So much for sneaking past quietly. He preps himself for a fight if the tanks decide to move against his teammates.
Edel kneels down on the edge of the roof as she makes her way up the fire escape, as if she were Batman. That's all she really does at this point, though, watching to see how things unfold. She doesn't want to jump the gun again and start attacking before given a good reason.
Angus blinks as Lizzie charges towards the transport, opening a hatch for her as he smiles. "Someone call for a cab?" He slams the hatch shut as he turns to stare at the Tank girls again before he shouts back at her. "I leave for ten minutes to get some wheels and you guys get in a fight without me! Where are Edel and Fenris?" He didn't like the situation as he reaches into his pack and pulls out a crowd pleasure, a little something he duct tape together....A Concussion grenade duct tape to a Tear gas canister.
The woman running and shouting sets off both factions as their members point at her and declare.
"An uninfected human! ATTACK!"
The goblins and ogres surge forwward attempting to overun the tanks and pursue Lizzie for the longest and nastiest gang fuck she could ever have nightmares about, whilst the tanks move to cover her retreat.
"Here is some dick shaped shells to fuck your faces!"
The twin tanks just cut loose, firing their big guns into the ogres whils spraying the crowd proper with bullets, their heavy armor taking the hammers and swords clanging into them.
Lizzie wasn't about to get caught by things as she stayed down, letting the tanks take care of things as she stole along the ride until it was close enough to dart off and make a break to get behind the walls. "Fuckin' infected. Every god damn time." She muttered to herself quietly.
Fenris is struck by the mutants' reaction to the uninfected human. Maybe he could give them a different target. The tiger focuses his mind on creating illusory fascimilies of a small group of humans fleeing from a nearby alley.
Angus scowls as he turns around and opens the window connecting the cab to the back. "Sit down and brace yourself, if anything gets in that isn't Fenris or Edel cut them down." Slamming the window shut he pulls the pin on the Concussion grenade, leans out the window, and throws it towards the crowd of ferals and the tank girls before shouting. "Edel Fenris, the meter is running!" Before he slams his foot on the gas and grabs the wheel.
Edel turns and starts darting towards the edge of the roof hoping to find a rain pipe to slide down. Upon seeing the gas, she fishes through her bag for her rebreather and pulls it on before swinging herself over the roof to begin her descent.
Fenris sees the bomb fly from the window of the transport. Time to move. He leaps from the building and flaps hard to get to the vehicle before the bomb blows.
