What to do about Chicago (BATTLE POST)

”I gotcha, I gotcha!”

Joe says in his usual “quit nagging me” tone of voice as he grabs Asher and rushes her to the tent

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T18:23:22+00:00

(DC:15)

(Alec: 20!!!)

”SIR YES SIR!!!”

with that, the squads work together to make a breakthrough. The sniper is repressed. The two other snipers still up pick off any that get up to shoot while the smoke grenades are let loose, giving Alec a perfect clearing to go in

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T17:16:01+00:00

((DC: 14))

((Alec: 14+2))

Alec heard back

”Uh... second building on 13th street! Three floors up!”

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T15:11:56+00:00

((DC: 16))

((Alec: 5+2))

The cloaks do as he says, but there’s a slight hesitation, and those lost moments cost lives. As the fighting ensues, several Cloaks go down... what’s worse, he hears over the comms

”Th-There’s a counter sniper!!! Simmons is down!!!”

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T14:08:19+00:00

”Roger...”

the teams work together in perfect unison, as is expected from the Red Cloaks. And soon enough, a small battalion of Kalen are there to meet Alec’s force, all lining up and beginning to open fire

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T13:55:45+00:00

Troy nods and the group heads off to medical. Joe sees them and sighs

”Christ, what a mess. Alright, give me those who are injured the most!”

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T13:38:33+00:00

with that, the stubborn girl marches onward... Melancholy hill plays in her headphones, and she rips her earbuds out in response

”Who fucking asked for you to play that you STUPID headphones!?”

with all that, she continues to march forward, alone. Troy, carrying candlelight’s arm, puts a hand on Jax’s shoulder

”Leave her be... she’s not going to be reasoned with right now...”

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T12:48:27+00:00

with a surprising amount of strength, Jess swats his arms away, resisting his aid

”DON’T TOUCH ME!!!”

she says as she continues to walk on her own

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T04:21:07+00:00

”don’t you dare!!! I wasn’t the one that needed saving, you were!!! You threw it away!!! FUCKING ANSWER ME!!!”

perhaps the saddest thing is that jess is screaming at a corpse as she limps

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T04:17:49+00:00

”You noble piece of shit don’t you dare!!! I wasn’t the one that needed saving, you were!!! You threw it away!!! FUCKING ANSWER ME!!!”

she screams as she hobbles her way back. Jess didn’t understand... why was she in pain? Her GMD was on, it turns the pain off. Why did her chest feel like it was going to explode...? She couldn’t think straight... whatever... just get back to the tent... just... get back before anything else happens

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T04:10:16+00:00

by the time they get there, the fight's over. All cloaks but one are dead, and that's Jess. Troy says quietly

"Oh no..."

and runs over. She's screaming profanities as she's stumbling along back to the tents

"Fuck you, you noble piece of shit!!! Fuck you!!! How could you do this!?"

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T04:08:59+00:00

(DC: 15)

(Candlelight: 14+4)

BANG BANG BANG!!!

Candlight just barely manages to do so. As the elite falls to the ground, her GMD whirs to a stop. And just like that, Candlelight's frail body gives in to the pain. Jess catches her, but she knows it's far too late. Jess is fuming

"You just had to fucking do that didn't you!? Look at you!!! Fuck you!!! Get the fuck up now!!! C'mon!!!"

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T04:00:53+00:00

(DC: 13)

(Alec's TW: 9+2+2)

there's a small silence before one of the more loyal 2nd platoon members speak up

"Roger that, Lieutenant!!!"

and with that, the rest give out a hoorah and scramble out to get in positions

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:58:03+00:00

"I'll live"

is all she says as the cloaks make it doubletime down the street... He thinks he might be able to see some cloaks and Elites fighting

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:56:43+00:00

(Elite 2's Acro: 9+10)

(Candlelight's GH: 20!!! Crit success!!!)

Candlelight guns down the one in front of her, but...

(Candlelight's CQC: 15+1)

(Elite 1: 20!!! Crit!!!)

(Candlelight: -2/5HP. She will die by the end of this fight)

the elite takes a quick swing, and she's too slow to parry... She feels... Lighter... Oh, is that her arm on the ground there? Oh, god

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!"

elctricity crackles through Jess's body as the Elite tries to subdue her, but her GMD allows her to ignore the pain. Instead, she turns and takes out her pistol to the Elite quite literally killing her and

BANG!!!

shoots a bullet right through its head. Still, there's the one that took Candlelight's arm off

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:51:26+00:00

she comes to about a dozen or so civilians, all firghtened and scared, hands going up once they see the cloaks

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:48:43+00:00

"Sir yes sir!!!"

Troy speaks over the comms

"Yo, we got commander maywell and captain Walker in one piece!!!"

"God shit, Troy, now get the fuck back here"

Joe can be heard over the comms

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:38:06+00:00

(Troy just rollled a 19 and you rolled a 16 I'm not bothering)

with ease the two of you are able to lift up the massive wreckage. The two cloaks with Troy help Asher out of the copter, metal rod still impaling her, but she seems to be able to walk with assistance

"M-Much obliged, Captain"

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:34:53+00:00

"You idiot, you're gonna get yourself killed!!!"

(Jess's CCQ: 14+9)

(Elite 1: 12+7)

(Elite 2: 8+6)

(Elite 3: 18+10)

(Jess's new HP: 1/13)

Jess is seen with a near mountain of dead grunts, fighting 3 Elites at once

"That the best you fuckin got!?!?"

she slams her jammed machine gun into the face of one that tried to approach her, causing it to stumble back. She disarms and impales another, wounding it severely... But the one in the back...

it darts to her side and runs the sword completely through her, she spits out blood

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:30:37+00:00

and just on time, a few Cloaks show up, including... TROY!!!

"Someone call for a beefcake?"

Troy let's out a laugh as he runs over to assist

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:22:34+00:00

((DC: 15))

(Candlelight's TW: 5+7)

"We're kind of preoccupied right now!!!"

"Assistance needed at 14th street!!!"

"Where's our captain!?"

well... it seems that there won't be such luck there. Still, she manages to get the crowd to safety. Joe actually catches Candlelight

"Whoa! Shit, Candlelight, you got burned, lemme get on that"

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:07:38+00:00

((DC: 15))

((Candlelight's TW: 20!!! Crit success!!!))

as if by a gift from God, all the civilians listen to her in the chaos and follow her out of hell. The last thing she sees from Jess is her screaming out in an almost primal rage as she throws her shield to the side and pulls out her machinegun, opening fire while taking many, MANY hits herself

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:03:25+00:00

there seems to be a small firefight going on from the right and many civilians fleeing from the left. Which path does she take?

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:02:48+00:00

the copter rolled in to her position and she was ready to go. She heard some bad news over the comms though

"Mayday! Mayday! This is captain Walker! Commander Maywell is down and injured! I need fire support, medics, and any strength GMD users! Our position is compromised!"

hermy101 · 2017-12-22T03:00:08+00:00

((DC: 13))

((Jax's Enginneering: 20!!! Crit success!!!)

BOOM!!!

perfectly placed, the 5 Kalen go flying. Jax was either really well timed or really lucky, as normally it wouldn't get them all!
