main plot The Great Game

[+Ark1002]

The tank fired towards the fiend,a huge molten ball of aluminum, with small heavily invested pieces of metal inside.

The Fiend leaped into the air and boosted itself into the sky with it's rocket feat. It swerved to the side and came back down.

The class 10 missile hit the tower, utterly decimating it,leaving only the lowest levels of the secret DA lab left, mildly intact.

Spoiler

You can't just dodge. That was extremely fast moving.

 

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Yeah I can. The Fiend was surrounded by smoking roubls. You were far enough away that the driver could dodge. Yes. The directional control of the Fiend comes down to one sentinel. Like risk firing the death star came down to one guy pulling a lever.

Hellbent teleported a rioter directly into the control room to riot the person in charge of control, then left. The rioter started rioting anger.

[I think I am here. he/him]

Max tapped Hellbent on the shoulder.

"Hey," he said. "It seems you're in need of a Rioter, and when I supertap my nicrosilminds, I'm literally one of the most powerful on the planet. Perhaps I can be of assistance?" He pointed at the Fiend. "Teleport me there, and maybe I can do something. Now to mention my," he activated the Aon Sheos on his gauntlets, Aons taken directly from Mara's armour. "My offensive capabilities."

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

I feel like I need to point out three things. 

1. I put a Whiper motivator in the Fiend. Yes, this was stated. You can't teleport on board.
2. Hellbent doesn't know that there is only one driver, so he wouldn't know to do that.
3. We force our drivers to wear aluminum helmets. Again, can't do that.

Just making sure, everyone know that there is a massive bomb coming down on said tower right? I would be running.

Definition of massive: Destroys 15 kilometers upon impact.

KoTiel (and me) got their information wrong. So now they'll probably die, unless someone manages to save them.

KoTiel heared a weird sound and stood still and looked up. They had just enough time to see the missile head towards the tower. "Rust and Ruin,"  they muttered.

I'll try. 

An explosion. Max looked back, and saw a massive tower crumbling in a burst of yellow flames. He saw a couple people next to it, about to be crushed. Time slowed. They were about to be killed. Max could save them, couldn't he?

Like you didn't save Mara.

Shutting the thoughts out of his head, Max took off. The Shardplate gave him heightened agility, but tapping the Aons for speed that lined his legs he sped up further, leaving a cloud of dust in his path. He wasn't as fast as a steelrunner, or as fast as Rashan had been, but it was something, and with his Aons, he could perhaps make it in time. The Aons for speed would take a while to recharge after this, but if he could save the people about to be crushed, it would be worth it.

Concentrate.

He didn't have to be a killer. That's what Mara had always told him. She'd told him he didn't have to assassinate, that he could save people too. Of course, Mara's peacefulness only extended to those untouched by Hemalurgy, so maybe even she had a bit of hypocracy in her too.

Max's legs started to tire. That wasn't a good sign, especially with all the speed enhancers he was using now. Emotional Allomancy wouldn't help him here, unfortunately. That was the bad thing about a mental power. With no one to use it on, it was as good as being an aluminium misting. Of course, even aluminium mistings were useful in some regard. Soul had been an alumium misting, after all, and he'd been one of the best warriors until the Seven Day War claimed him, too.

There. Max dived for the people underneath the building just as it collapsed, raising his hand upwards abruptly and watching as the air shimmered and a green forcefield appeared above them. Rocks and debris bounced off, and Max sighed in exertion. Te forcefield was pelted by the force of the collapsing building, but it held. And Max had saved people, too. That was good. He looked to one of the people he'd saved.

"Hey."

[kenod]

"..." KoTiel was silent. "Thanks, I didn't expect that," they said. "Who are you?"

Quote

You realize you just had Max save a kandra DA member right?

 

[+Sorana she/her]

"Hey."

Althea replied him.

"Thank you. That one I missed completely."

She looked over at Ko Tiel and felt strangely relieved when he talked.

KoTiel looked at the shield. "I don't think that shield will last long," they said in a nervous tone. "Perhaps it would be good if you got us out of here?" They asked Althea.

[+Sorana she/her]

Althea nodded.
"I hope you don't mind?"
she asked than man (=Max) that saved them and then elsecalled everybody who wanted to into Shadesmar.

Brashed looked at her with with a reprimanding glance, ignoring the fact, that she wasn't alone.
"That was close."
Althea nodded and smiled at him.
"What did you expect? A quiet life like we had before?"

 

Turning towards the rest she suggested:
"I think we should get away from here. I'm not sure what the effect of this missile will be here and how soon we will be able to feel it's effect."

*Rechecks Ghostblood PM*

*Sees you aren't in it*

Ah, I actually didn't realise that, but let's pretend I did and Max is just a really nice guy who doesn't hold prejudice against people in different guilds.  Plus, aren't the DA and GBs teamed up now anyway?

Max lay on his back, eyes on the sky, puffing. The forcefield was still up, though there were no more pieces of rock falling down now, just smoke rising from the debris, coalescing just outside the forcefield. He didn't take his eyes off looking straight up, but still answered the people who were thanking him between breaths. He was exhausted.

"No...problem...I'm...Max." He turned his helmeted head, visor still down, sideways and saw a Kandra and a woman who he was fairly sure was a Ghostblood looking at him as he regained his breath. "I'm a Ghostblood too. Nice to meet you." He waved a hand and the forcefield dissipated. It would be a while before the Aons would recharge on that one.

"You can go if you want, though it was nice meeting you." He tried getting up but collapsed on the ground again. "I'm probably just going to stay lying here, unless one of you -"

Suddenly the trio were in Shadesmar. "Woah," Max said, barely getting up again. Some of the exhaustion had faded.

"Yeah, we should probably go. But where?"

[+Sorana she/her]

"I'm Althea, a Ghostblood. And I'm sorry to tell you, but he isn't."
she walked over and offered Max her hand.
"Do you need something to eat or to drink?"
she asked him before thinking about his other question.

"Where is everybody at the moment? We should go there, see if we can help them. We went scouting with Hellbent, but suddenly he rushed of. It took us some time to get back here, and I think you know what happened next."

She then remembered her sunglasses and took them of, revealing her red eyes. It was more polite that way and if she was honest with herself, she had stopped caring about what others thought of her appearance years ago.

"Ready... aim... everyone get to your machine guns... fire!" Tena said into the comms system on her ear. I sure as hell hope Fangblade isn't in that fiend... she thought as artillery and machine gun fire rained down on the Fiend, whose aluminum plating couldn't stand the rain of steel bullets. Tena jumped into the air, using the rain of fire like a highway up to the largest skywhale, where she patted the massive whale's impenetrable skin fondly. 

A dercon flapped its way onto the whale's back as well, nuzzling Tena's shoulder with the tip of its snout. "Oh hey," Tena said, surprised, "you're Azek^moishk, aren't ya?" She scanned the beast's many scars and nodded to herself. The dercon was massive, elegant, and a fray in the night.

The Fiend isn't aluminum, it has so much investiture you'd need to be triple lerazium to push it. Also, Shields. READ MY POSTS AX!

The Fiend swerved to the side and positioned the opposite side that they had been shooting at towards the enemy. They had arrived at Alleycity. The army flooded out of the hold.

Zaren flipped up into the air, dodging several bullets by adjusting their courses. He landed in a crouch and shot off of a coin, saving a Sentinel from a blade to the back. They rolled on the ground momentarily, then simultaneously stood. Zaren nodded, then leapt away, to the next man.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Half the assaulters had positioned themselves in a semicircle around The Fiend backed up by the Blast stars, and started firing everything they had at the enemy. The other half of the assaulters went into the city with their units. 15 regiments of super lifeless spread out with the Walkers. The prowlers and the rest of forces started into the city to try to secure it. The sentinels led the civilians into underground bunkers. They would be safe as long as no, say, demons or weapons of mass destruction were used on the city. The fighters flew out of the Fiend and started messing with the aircraft. The Fiend blasted it's thousands of heavy plasma cannons at the opponents forces.

Do you have machine guns? No? That's what I thought.

Also, Tena wasn't Pushing on your Fiend. 

Azek^moishk took off, the magnificent beast beating the air with its wings.

Walker took his rifle and shot a high powered plasma bolt at the head of the bird.

BIRD? DIDN'T I SAY SKYWHALE? 

Also, sucks to be you, because Aonic shields.

Azek^moishk (or the skywhale, which ever one you meant) wasn't affected. First of all, Azek^moishk is faster than anything you can shoot, and she's a dercon. Also, skywhales are IMPENETRABLE. How many times do I need to say it?

Jonas jumped and slammed down the axe, splitting the head of a Sentinel. He grinned.

Quote

Unlike my other characters, Jonas isn't inherently good. He is set to use whatever means necessary to further his goals, and thus, Hemalurgy. 

Oh, and there is a person involved in his backstory, too.

 

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

Walker appeared next to Jonas and swung his enhanced Katana at his head.
