Luna shook her head, a cold smile curling her lip.
"I'm fine, Vegas. I'm fine. You know..I want to talk with you, though..maybe get to know you a little better..what'd you think?"
She didn't wait for a reply, instead stepping close to him, their faces almost touching for a second. Her hand closed around his wrist only barely and started pulling him along to a secluded spot, only the two of them left alone.
"So..Vegas. Me and you. How about a little sparring session..? To the death, of course."
The cold smile never left her face as her body blurred with movement, her hand dropping and drawing her knife in one fluid moment. She lunged at Veega, slashing at his face with a wide side arc.
She was different now. Different from that pathetic fifteen year-old girl. She would never lose to Vegas again..

Dax lurches forward despearte to get to Irvine and more cover,"You won`t get me you Paladin bastards! I`m coming Irvine!" He shouts dashing forward to Irvine firing more shots at the three Paladins around him.

(Scar! Brother! Help me! Like that? You said going Lion King >_>)


Claire grunts in pain. "Could really use some help right now!" she shouts at Greg. She kicks around and tries to free her self. "Let go of me!"

[wolf_demon]

Resh got there just as this was happen "Oh my." He chuckles a bit, before pulling out one of his equipment "Cover your eyes." He say on the com to Irvine and Dax. He tosses two canister that way making it land near the Paladins one to the Paladins around Irelvin and the other to the ones around Dax. It was a flash grande which went off in an instant as soon as it touches the ground he was trying to blind them so that they could get the advantage for the moment. If it worked then he would move in and attempt to take the shot gun from one and shot the other.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Using the opening his headbutt provided, Greg slams his palm at a spot just beneath the base of the woman's neck: a pressure point that, when struck, causes a rush of immense pain to flood the afflicted's senses. For good measure, he also kicks a magnum off of a nearby Paladin's corpse at her right ankle, aiming to trip her up. "No need, bitch." He shouts, before doing what some might consider suicidal...

(cue heroic counter-offensive music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXEszUogdCk&feature=related)

He charges towards Jack with SMG and machete being dual-wielded, and performing a three-step attack as he closes in:

-Step one: he fires a single burst at Jack's face, aiming for the eye that Claire's knife was lodged below, ready to fire a second burst at the knife lodged in his cheek, should he get a clear shot at it.
-Step two: he fires several more bursts at Jack's elbow joint (for whichever arm is more easily targeted), aiming to disable - or at least weaken - the arm it's part of. When possible, however, he rakes one or two of each burst's shots downward towards the fiend's waist, in preparation for...
-Step three: Greg unloads whatever ammo remains in his SMG's clip right into Jack's waist, then holsters the emptied gun, weaves around whatever attack comes his way next, and drives the blade of his machete into the waist's wound with both hands, slicing up and forwards at the intestines, while letting out a fierce, angry war-cry: "ROOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

(note that if Jack tries to use Claire as a meat-shield, Greg will simply aim at a part of his body that she doesn't cover. There's no way little old her can fully shield a big ape like him, anyhow.)

Waiting for Kia to post. Sorry Ikechi, no post this time.

Irvine, Dax and Resh:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The three Paladin don't seem to buy it, and the one in the middle walks up to you. He looks you up and down, then smacks the butt of his shotgun into your shit, The hit knocks you onto your hands and knees, and you see a few drops of blood fall onto the floor.

Dax manages to hind behind some sandbags, giving himself some more cover. The machine gun gets faster again, still not at full speed. The bullet path strays from Dax's position, and moves over to a building full of fighting civilians. They are quickly cut down, and those left and either retreating of writhing in pain on the ground. Looking over to the other side, he could see the three Paladin standing over Irvine, and Resh moving in on them.

Resh's flash grenade lands by Irvine. While down the the ground, he takes the brunt of the flash, even with his eyes closed. It still stuns the Paladin, though. One of them blindly fires his gun, and Resh feels the pellets rake his arm, violently yanking it back. Ah, one of the draw backs of this high tech armor. Less bullet holes, but a lot more blunt force. The three Paladin stumble around, shielding their eyes and trying to see again.

Dax: In cover. Health: 73%
Irvine: Doubled over, with a bloody chin. Temporarily blinded from Resh's flash bang. Health: 80%

Mia and Ed:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Ed smiled, rather coyly, and put his sniper down. Laughing a little, he looked out into the sun as well. "Well, maybe I wasn't trying to wink, but you know. With the swollen eye Veega gave me, I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the other eye ever again. But now..." Ed nudged Mia's shoulder with his, like she did. "About that kill contest. You said the reward is 'whatever the winner feels like.' You won, and I don't like having outstanding debt, so let's get this over with." Ed stood up, and reached up high on to his tip toes, stretching and letting out a sigh. He twisted his neck, cracking it, as he turned back to Mia. "What's your reward?"

Luna and Veega Vegas:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Veega got a little more nervous, just from Luna's cold smile. He shifted around on his feet, and scratched the back of his neck. To think, a big guy like him, scarred of such a pretty little thing like Luna... And the name switch didn't help either. "Uh, Luna? It's Veega. VEE-GAH. Not Veg- Hey!" He didn't have time to finished, before Luna pulled him away. He lumbered along behind her, protesting occasionally. Once stopped, he became a lot more nervous then he already was. "Luna, it's VEEGA. Not Vegas, or- WHAT THE SHIT!"

Veega jumped back as Luna swiped at him, narrowly missing her blade. This muscles tensed, and the confidence returned to his face. He raised his fists in a boxing stance, ready for a fight. "Insubordination, eh? Or is it treason? I knew you Stars were trouble from the start!" Veega counter with his own wide swing. a right hand to Luna's face. It hit, but wasn't terribly hard...

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Luna: Bitches be crazy. Punched in the side of the head. Health: 95%

Veega/Vegas: Wondering what this bitch is doing. In a boxing stance. Health: 100%

Claire and Greg:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

(No, not Scar! I meant the whole circle of life holding Simba in the air part! Although now that you mention it, I need to work the "Help me brother" scene in here some how...)

Claire's struggling doesn't do much, and Jack laughs at her. He leans in to her, and starting at her waist, sticks his tongue out and runs it up her body... Claire can feel his warm, slimy tongue, leaving spit/slime all down the front of her armor. Gross! Jack smiles, but turns when he hears the woman shout for him...

Clutching her neck, she squirms around in pain and shouts out. "OWWWWWW! Jack, he's hurting me!"

Jack turns to her, but hangs on to Claire. He turns just in time to get Greg's attack nearly full on, not having time to prepare or block. The bullets aimed at Jack's face hit him, and most make it through his skin. The sink into his face, making him grab his face and drop Claire on her ass. Jack bends over, trying to claw the bullets out. Standing up, he's just in time for Greg's second attack, the second round of bullets to his elbows. Most miss, and the few that do simply bounce off his skin. When Greg reaches Jack for the machete to the ribs, Jack is right pissed off now. Greg thrusts his blade forwards, aiming straight for Jack's abs. The blade hits... And gets stopped. It feels like trying to stab metal, and the shock goes up Greg's arms, causing them to go a little numb. Looking up, Jack looks down and smiles at the now venerable Greg. Jack brings back a massive arm, and brings it back down right into Greg's side, smashing him and nearly knocking him unconscious. Laying on the ground, dizzy and disoriented, Greg and can Jack's massive figure making his way towards Greg. He can also hear the woman speak up again. "It would be so much easier, Greg. Just give up, let Jack have his fun with Claire. Let me help you."

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Greg: Dizzy and knocked on the ground. Health: 66%
Claire: On her butt, covered in Jack spit. Health: 75%

Jack: Making his way to Greg. Health: 54%
Paladin: Talking to Greg. Health: 87%

[Zender_Solarheart]

Greg smirks with confidence as he closes in for the uppercut-stab at Jack's innards...only to realize that the skin wasn't pierced, and his arm's complaining about how it feels to attempt stabbing a steel plate. He doesn't have time to step back for another go, however, as Jack's arm hits him so hard, it felt as if the impact would tear him in half. Thankfully, it didn't do that, but it still hurt like a bitch."AAAAAGHH!" He cries out in pain, searing white-hot pain, more than what most men could endure without going comatose. In fact, he does black out for a very brief instant, though no longer than a literal blink of the eye. His sense of pain has temporarily gone numb, his ears are ringing like clock tower bells, and his sight shifts and blurs, not yet receiving sufficient power to accurately feed the brain.

It seems that he's drawn Jack's attention to himself, which is a mixed blessing. Sure, it means he has a very tough enemy looking right at him, but it also means that Claire has a chance to escape...and frankly, he's been trying to draw Jack's focus all this time, so that she could go get help. Well, whatever cavalry she could call by now will end up arriving too late, at this rate...and while he's a proud warrior, ready to die for his beliefs, she has more to live for, and might not be immediately willing to let that go to waste...

...and that's why he can't give up...why he never has, nor will he ever give up. Whether these clowns die first, or he does, they won't simply have their way.

"You want me to give up? Yeah, you don't know me at all..." With that said, Greg resorts to a melee-bash on the woman's face with his SMG, as he's not in a position to reload its clip right now. The moment that attack is done knocking the makeup right off her arrogant face, he shouts out to Claire: "Claire, if you want to run, go right ahead...but I'm fighting to the bitter end." He knows the odds...between the Paladin bitch and her friend Jack, he'd have a tough, maybe even insane fight on his own. However, Claire's own weaponry hasn't done much more than his own (no offense to her, obviously), and he'd rather hold them off while she escapes, than have them both be beaten, and be forced to watch the giant jackass rape her. He can't explain why, but in his mind, seeing that happen is a fate far worse than death itself, so between that and dying to protect her, he'd rather play the "hero's sacrifice" role.

Be that as it may, though, he's perfectly willing to have a plan that gets them both out alive. Were it not for Jack's powerful legs and chasing ability, he would've ran with Claire at the start...well, too late for regrets now.

[daxtinator396]

Dax breaks cover as the bullets stray from him and makes a nullrush staright towards the turret and fires bursts into the gunners nest crying out in animalistic fury pissed off beyond all reason that they would cut down these innocents.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire gets up and quickly jump on Jack's Back. She grabs both knives that were in his face and removes them. She clutches her legs around his stomach so she won't fall off. She takes both blades and stab it at each side of Jack's head.

[Lady Foxy]

Mia smirked when Ed laughed, looking out into the sun with him. ''Oh sure, uh-huh.'' She said with a soft giggle before Ed nudged her shoulder like she had done with his. ''~My reward? Well, now that I think about it.. What could I possibly want from private Edward, the handsome gentleman I saved from that rude Veegas.. I wonder..'' The thinking Mia said so 'eerily' suspicious, standing up slowly before placing a hand on Ed's right shoulder and one on his chest.. Giving him a kiss on the lips as she breathed deeply, pressing herself against him..

[Icaelus]

"Unh."
Luna grunted as Vegas landed a hit on her face. It wasn't very hard, but the force still sent her reeling..and opened up more emotions. The dagger clattered to the floor, Luna regaining her balance. She wasn't going to lose to Vegas again. No. Never AGAIN! Her hand moved to her katana and she drew slowly, the light that only the insane can see lighting up her target like a lightbulb.
Luna screamed and lunged at Vegas again, her eyes gleaming with both desperation and insanity. Her desperation would make her lightning-fast cut sloppy, only grazing Vegas on his stomach and putting her behind him. No time to think. Just keep slashing..till nothing remained. She spun, katana flashing in another arc aimed at Vegas' neck.

[wolf_demon]

Grunting in a bit of pain, before taking out his knife and attempting to stab the paldin through the neck. He was trying to get him to drop his shot gun through this action.

Greg and Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

(P.S, fast forwarding the fight a little! Hope that's okay. And if it isn't, too bad.)

Greg hits the woman right between the eyes with the butt of his gun, making her fall back and cry in pain. "OWWW! You'll regret that, Greg! Get him, Jack!" As Jack lumbers to Greg, another stupid grin breaks out on his face. He stops in front of Greg, looking to the woman, as if asking for permission. "Break him." Jack bends over to pick Greg up, but before he can...

Sneak attack from Claire! Claire jumps onto Jack's back, and he instinctively stood up straight. Claire yanks her knives out of Jack's face, making him scream in pain and cover his face again. He quickly recovers though, and tries to reach around behind his back to grab Claire. Jack's arms are too big though, and he can't reach her! Groping the air behind him, trying to reach Claire, Jack grunts in frustration. Claire climbs a little higher into Jack's back, and securing herself with her legs, stabs Jack repeatedly in the sides of his head. Jack wails out in pain, his protests growing louder and louder with each stab. He manages to get his arms up above his head and grabs Claire's arms, and tosses her over. But it's too late, as Jack has sustained many knife blows to his skull. Stumbling around a bit, Jack looks around dazed and confused, tripping over his feet. After a few seconds of this, the blood running down Jack's head coupled with the stabs itself prove too much for his mortal body, and Jack falls to the ground, face first. He hits the ground hard, and stays down.

Jack's veins begin to lose their purple glow, and shrink to normal, with no blood flowing through them. Eventually, his body starts shrinking, until he is the size of a normal, pale man, with some knife wounds in his head. The woman quickly runs over to Jack's body, and places and hand on his back. "Jack...? Jack..?" She closes her eyes, and a single tear falls from one of her eyes, onto the man's back. When her eyes open, they have returned to their normal color. She then stands up, and quite vigorously, starts kicking Jack in the ribs, over and over. "You monster! You big, stupid, ugly fucking MONSTER! I hate you! I fucking hate you! You fucker...!"

Dax's blind charge doesn't hit the machine gunner, but takes out a few standing around him. The gun slowly begins to turn, making it's way around to take out Dax. If you're going to do something, do it quick...

Resh stabs the Paladin in the neck, but doesn't make a killing blow, due to the man's armor. He does fall to the ground though, but he'll be back up soon. The other two still can't see, and are blindly reaching out in front of them, trying to find someone or thing.

The eerie tone in her voice made the hairs on the back of Ed's neck stand up. He took a small step back when she stepped forwards, and made a worried frown. He relaxed once she placed a hand on his shoulder, but tensed up when she kissed him, initially. After a moment, he relaxed again, and closed his eyes, warping his arms around her waist. He returned the kiss, taking his time and making it slow and passionate. Almost a scene out of some sappy-ass romantic novel, isn't it? Two soldiers, who could die at any moment, kissing in the sunset... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythkeClqVUw

Luna and Veega:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

With Luna now behind Veega, he tried to side step whatever attack she was doing next. he heard the scream and tried to move out of the way, but wasn't quite fast enough. While she missed his neck, she instead caught Veega on his left shoulder, and made a pretty deep wound. Veega grunted in pain, and blood began to flow from the wound. Turning to face her, he Veega punched Luna again, in the side of the head. This sent her off in the other direction, being a stonrger punch from last time. "Ack.. Ow, you cut me, bitch! Okay, Veega ain't playing around anymore, let's go!" Ducking into a football tackle, Veega charged Luna, giving her only seconds to react before the freight train of a man slammed into her...

[Zender_Solarheart]

As Greg sees Jack about to "break" him, he can't help but grimace with the implications of what that means...but then sees Claire ambush Jack from behind, turning his head into a big, dumb pincushion of flesh and bone. Truly a master of the stealth field, indeed. A long, deathly silence between when Jack stumbles to the ground, and when he shrinks, is spent entirely by Greg to catch his breath. He actually thought that was the end of him for a moment there...and just because he knew the odds, didn't mean that his fear of death just up and vanished.

Once he's regained his composure, Greg walks over to Claire, and says between tired breaths: "Thanks, Claire...that bastard almost had me, I'll admit. Were it not for your amazing maneuver back there, I'd probably be ripped down the middle right now..." He then turns to look over at where Jack fell, and instead sees a pale corpse, normal size...being kicked and insulted by the female Paladin. He'd walk over and demand an explanation himself, but after getting his bell rung that hard, he'd rather just stand back and let Claire do the talking. He was always a bigger fan of combat than interrogation, anyway...

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire pants. She stands up and walks behind Greg and kicks him in his ass. "Told you I'd kick your ass if we survived this." she says with a giggle. Claire then walks over to the female paladin and tries to calm her down. "Hey. Hey. It's okay. Stop hitting him." she says as she grips the female paladin's shoulders. She pulls her away from Jack and rubs the woman's shoulders.

[Icaelus]

Luna grunted with pain as Vegas' fist slammed into the side of her head, sending her sprawling to the ground. Her blade had only cut Vegas' shoulder..Not enough. Not even close. She unsteadily got to her feet, her head throbbing with pain both from Vegas' punch and another onslaught of memories threatening to flow through her mind. Luna glanced up to look at Vegas, her electric blue eyes widening with shock as she watched the man charge her with a football tackle, moving like a goddamned freight train. Ah. Shit..

Vegas slammed into her like a truck, carrying her the distance he ran and falling on top of her as she kicked out, catching him in the stomach. Her left shoulder smashed into the floor and a rather sickening sound pronounced that it was dislocated again. Luna's scream of pain hastily toned down to a cough as she doubled up on the floor in pain, heavily winded from Vegas' tackle..she glanced up into the face looking down upon her, the face of the nightmare she had believed dead for years. Guess not..Papa Vegas always won..
Luna blinked and tears ran down her cheeks. Tears of defeat and humiliation.
"I-I'm sorry, P-Papa. I still can't win against you.."
She sobbed, stuttering as she raised her right hand to her suit's zipper. He would be wanting his reward now, then.. Luna unzipped her suit all the way down, her breasts popping free of the suit's constraint. They were bigger than she had made them look in the suit, squashed against her body.
"I-I can't give you a handjob before we start, Papa. My left arm..isn't working.."
Luna smiled apologetically at Vegas as she looked to her left arm, which was hanging limp at her side..she looked back to Vegas, meeting his eyes. In Luna's eyes, Veega would see her former fifteen year old self, wrecked by insanity already. Her blue eyes misted over with tears as she hesitantly pushed Veega back to sit down on the floor, getting up slowly and started to unzip Veega's pants with one hand.

(Wow. Even my own post made me feel kinda sad..)

[Lady Foxy]

[ I won't let Luna suffer! She's Mia's teammate 'Sister' to the end! :'C ]

Mia had felt how he had gotten all tense and relaxed back and forth, before he closed his eyes; wrapping his arms around her waist and returning the kiss. She liked how he made it slow and passionate, herself leaning forward to push herself against him a bit.. Her tongue swirling around his, kissing him deeply.. Her left hand on his left shoulder, his right on his neck..

She broke the kiss after what had been long~time lasting minutes, looking into his eyes as she opened her own; smiling and laughing softly. ''Now that's something I didn't expect from you, Private..'' With a warm hug given to him by her, she rested the side of her head on his left shoulder; looking downwards.. Seeing what seemed.. That was definitely Veegas, but.. The other?.. Luna? Can't.. Be?.. Something was odd with her, but the distance couldn't help any more..

''Excuse me, I have to contact a friend real quick.. I think something is wrong down below.'' Mia said before beginning to check her wrist-comm, trying to message Luna.

Yolandi felt the two connections and began to breathe heavily She charges one of the paladins ramming him into the wall and breaking the circle .

[Zender_Solarheart]

Claire pants. She stands up and walks behind Greg and kicks him in his ass. "Told you I'd kick your ass if we survived this." she says with a giggle. Claire then walks over to the female paladin and tries to calm her down. "Hey. Hey. It's okay. Stop hitting him." she says as she grips the female paladin's shoulders. She pulls her away from Jack and rubs the woman's shoulders.

When Claire gives Greg a solid boot in his ass, he lets out a grunt of pain, but nothing too serious. After that whammy Jack hit him with earlier, getting his butt literally kicked isn't so bad. "Damn...at least you're a woman of your word." he says with some strain in his voice, though by the time he's done, the pain has already left him.

He then notices Claire over with the female Paladin, trying to calm her down. Perhaps the sympathy is somewhat deserved, but she's still technically the enemy...a bit careless on Claire's part, as such, but on the plus side, she'll be easier to deal with than Jack was, should she try anything funny. "She's got a point. Not like he can feel those kicks now, or hear your insults...though, I gotta wonder..." He glances down at the pale carcass they once knew as Jack. "...what the hell was that guy?"

[jayjaycaps]

Greg, Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

As Claire pulls the woman away, she can feel her body shake a little. Breathing deeply, she attempts to calm herself down. It doesn't seem to be working however, as even when pulled away from the dead man's body, she shudders every now and then.

She keeps her eyes on the ground, and never looks up. Not even when Claire and Greg try to talk to her. Her voice cracks every so often, and her breathing is still a little shaky.

"T-that thing? It was Jack. Jack used to be m-my boyfriend... Then the Doctor needed a test subject... He c-choose Jack, and turned him into that... thing. It was some purple medication he gave him, something in a syringe. Jack got a pretty bad cut, and it was all we had left. We gave it to him, and that's when he started swelling. He became HUGE. And he started getting these, these urges. Like, sexually. And I was the only girl in this Platoon... Her hands instinctivly moved to her groin, covering it. "It was every night, and he couldn't stop... None of the men would help me, or else Jack would snap their spines, or something worse. We couldn't leave him, because we would need him to stop-" The woman stopped dead. Looking up for the first time, she starred off into the distance. Her eyes began to cloud over again, and began to shift purple. "I need to go... Go and find the.. The Project..." She stood up, and began to walk away. She stumbled a little, a looked like she was drunk or something.

Luna:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

(Surprised to let Veega run into you. You knew you could have dodged it, right? Anyways...)

Veega was on his hands and knees over Luna. Panting heavily, he still had an angry look on his face. This face quickly turned into one of confusion and bewilderment. "Pappa? Wait, what? What's going on? Luna, what are you... Whoa!" Veega's eyes bugged out as Luna unzipped her suit. He was looking at them, but then quickly turned his attention back to Luna's face. "Luna, what are you doing? Luna, I'm not your Poppa... What was that? A handjob? LUNA!" Veega let out a gasp as Luna started to undo his pants. Still on top of her, he was too flustered to stop her. He began to blush, and Luna noticed bulge begin to form in his crotch.

Mia:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

After breaking the kiss, a cocky grin broke out on Ed's face. the compliment from Mia didn't help, and he leaned by a bit. "Yea well, I try. Gotta look good in from of my commanding officer." Ed returned the hug, but frowned when she mentioned leaving. He turned and looked over the edge of the building at what was going on. "What? Nah. If Luna or Veega was in trouble, they would have messaged one of us by now. No way Veega would do anything without his squad backing him up." Ed turned back to Mia, another cocky smile on his face. He went back to her, and wrapped his arms back around her waist. "Now come on, I think I still have a debt to pay." Ed kissed all over Mia's face; her neck, her cheeks, her forehead, her lips. He seemed pretty nonchalant about the whole thing, but maybe something else was going on...?

Yolandi, Emile:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

(YAY! That honestly makes me feel so much better, knowing this is something good enough to make you come back. Thanks!)

Yolandi's strength helped her overpower the Paladin, breaking the circle. He was smashed against the wall, his head smacking into it, quite hard. He let out a groan, and his body went limp. He slumped to the ground, occasionally letting out some groans and moans.

Behind her, the rest of the group was moving in. She heard the sound of a knife being pulled out of it's sheath. Uh oh...

Back at Emile, the guard winced a bit after Yolandi smacked the guy, but let out a confident chuckle once the group began closing in again. "See pal? She can't win. Just tell us what we need to know, and you'll both go free. I promise you." Sounds tempting...
