NationStates Jolt Archive

OOC: I've come up with a rather nifty idea lately, about a new race called 'The Devilish', a race of imp-like robot creatures, so I thought I'd try them out on NationStates. I am not new to the RP scene, this is simply a new nation. My other nations (MS and WA) are fairly well known, but I'd been wanting to try life as an evil nation for some time.
The Devilish are a race of highly intellegent, and very evil beings. Little is known about them, other than that they are technologically advanced, and are nearly impossible to capture alive.

IC:
A newsflash appears on your TV screen...
"Recent sightings of small, robotic creatures has generated some concern among officials. The creatures, called 'Devilish' have been spotted across the globe, committing acts of murder and genocide against the other races of the world. Governments are advised to exercise extreme caution when dealing with these creatures, as they are extremely fast and stealthy. The origin of the Devilish has been pinpointed to a small chain of islands in the far southern part of the pacific ocean. More at 11:00....

OOC: For the purpose of this RP, I'd like any interested nation to send expendable characters, or characters that can be wounded severely. Evil nations may send characters with the intent of forming alliances. The current date being Halloween, I plan to make this a 'horror' RP, with plenty of creepy descriptions and gory melee combat. As soon as I have access to a scanner, I'll upload a pic of a Devilish. I await your response... Have fun!

OOC: I wonder why nobody wants to join this...
(It's actually a very cleverly disguised BUMP)

OOC: A bump by one of my other nations...

OOC: I just want to check on some things before I get involved in this.
Firstly, I'm evil, very evil....

If I send someone, can I expect him not to die, as we are all evil here?

What is the highest amount of tech you are willing to accept at this point? I won't bother trying to use a spacefleet but I need to know what else I can use.

I think that's it. I'll edit this post if I need to know more.

o.oc. ms or WA or whatever. i want to join with this nation and an evil puppet.

OOC: You aren't going to need a space fleet. Three people max. The tech level of your weaponry can be basically anything up to the Starship Troopers level. (See AutoMagFreek's 'How many tech levels are there?) I can tell you that your character won't die, but he might get severly wounded, as the Devilish are not trusting of outsiders, and will attack on sight. Since you are evil, and have an evil aura, they will bring you before their leader. Very evil people will be taken directly to the leader without a scuffle, and will not be harmed.

OOC: Aura? Ah, you also mix magick and future techs... I assume. Okay, the only tech I am using that will not fit that bracket will be a chainsword. Unless, you are mean starship troopers the book. Then I have my sweet wonderful powered armor... I'll assume you mean the movie's tech level until informed otherwise.

IC:

Soth sat, flanked by two lesser priests, in the back of one of the few dropships that had been given over to the dark priests. He wore the black robes of the dark priests and under them, a suit of armor. A chainsword was strapped to his back and pistols rested on both hips... his guards bore ARZs and staves. They flew silently over the waves, in the distance a chain of islands broke through the waves... It was midnight and Soth should have been leading the lesser priests in a human sacrifice while the black chior filled the obscidian halls with their hymns. But he was not, he was on a mission to meet some weak race, potential allies, a joke he thought.

"Three minutes, my lord."

"Excellent."

OOC: I'm talking small arms, stuff used by highly mobile infantry units. That rules out power armor. Your characters don't know what a Devilish is, or what to expect when they venture into the dense jungles of the islands.

To Celack, old RP buddy: That's fine, just RP them landing on the islands. Maximum three people per nation.

OOC: That's fine. But I should mention that the book is totally different when it comes to tech. But, let's get on with the rp.

IC:

As the assualt ramp crashed down into the sand Soth glanced at his two companions, both of whom were clade in simply robes and had their staves ready for combat. The ARZs hung at their sides. Soth himself storde down the ramp and looked at the jungle with distaste... nothing, it appeared to him, would be civilized if he was involved. One of the escorts, Soth didn't know his name, pointed to a trail, it was small and heavily overgrown, but it would work.

"Let's go."


The three set off with a swish of robes and the clank of Soth's unholy armor. The dropship flew off into the distance to hover several miles from the coast.

The infared signature of the incoming ship shows up on the HUD of a Devilish grunt. The grunt sits motionless in a tree, its five blade-fingers lightly gripping a treebranch for support. A message was broadcast, informing the commander of the arrival. The commander waited in a hidden checkpoint nearby, its red reflective armor gleaming. It informed the grunt to observe and test the newcomers.

OOC: There are several types of Devilish...

Grunt
Height: 4'5"
Weight: 90 lbs
Color: Black, dark purple viewplates
Weaponry:
Blade-fingers, razor-edged. Five per hand

Gunner
Height: 4'5"
Weight: 122 lbs
Color: Dark Navy Blue, black viewplates
Weaponry:
Twin 14mm chainguns. ROF: 1500 RPM

Stalker
Height: 4'5"
Weight: 76 lbs
Color: Varies, blends with environment
Weaponry:
Devilish Railgun. Claws, three per hand. Railgun ROF: 5 RPM

Commander
Height: 5'0"
Weight: 100 lbs
Color: Red, black viewplates
Weaponry:
Blade-fingers on left hand. 14mm autopistol on right hand ROF: 300 RPM

Infiltrator
Height: 4'5"
Weight: 90 lbs
Color: Midnight Blue, black viewplates
Weaponry:
Blade-fingers

Bomber
Height: 4'5"
Weight: 150 lbs
Color: Green, black viewplates
Weaponry:
Twin 10mm explosive pellet cannons ROF: 400 RPM

The lone Grunt watches as the three heat signatures reqister on its HUD. Initiate testing protocol designated 96451B The grunt released its grip, landing with a crash on the jungle floor. Its personal thoughts were that an Infiltrator would be more suited to this task, but it complied with the order, its opinion not mattering to the commander. Target: Composed of metallic alloy, refrence suggests armor. Lifefrom is composed of 80% water. Carbon based. Analasis confirms weaponry will be sufficient to terminate target. Awaiting approach of target. The internal tactical computer in the Grunt's 'head' processed the infromation, suggesting to it the best course of action.

OOC: Okay, I'll make a note of that... and by the by what type of comm were you using. The detection gear my men always have pick up both laser and raido emissions as well as having light amplification and infared... I usually overprepare my men.

IC: "Sire, something is nearby. I've picked up comm use..."

"I know, just keep moving and stand ready to burn everything."

*The trio continued to move though now both escorts ahd strapped their staves to their backs and drawn their ARZs. Soth fingered his twin Tornado 600s but opted to take the third route... he drew from it's harness on his back and aggie with built on demon 9. As with everything else he carried it was "blessed" and covered with they unholy symbols of his order.*

OOC: Now I get to brag about my paranoia when it comes to other people and first incounters in particular.

ARZ 11mm Squad Automatic Weapon
Cost: $2,500
Mass: 4.2 kg
Length: 97 cm
Payload: 11mm bullet
Accuracy: good
Max Range: 600 meters
Clip/Charge Size: 30 bursts
Clip/Charge Cost: $90
Skill: Modern Range Weapon- Rifle
Firing modes: burst, auto, single
This is the follow-up design to the popular ARZ 6mm Autorifle. A squad automatic weapon is designed to supplement a unit’s firepower without slowing it down with heavy weapons. Although heavier than a standard rifle, it does not quite fill the role a machine gun could. Its’ good range together with its’ large ammo capacity makes it a favorite of troops in the field. Expect to see this weapon if you face well financed troops.

Of course, If they were firing normal rounds I'd be stupid...

MightyMite Explosive Round
cost: 5x the normal clip price, listed with weapons.
Platform Sabot or Charge Weapons
A round tipped with Detonex exploding a split second after impact to cause horrifying wounds.

One last thing: I think the gunner is a little godmoded... just something about the twin 20 mm chainguns on a 122 lb thing...

OOC: The Devilish have had nothing to do but improve themselves, being intelligent robots, they have developed lighter, stronger alloys. The bullets are made of a light, durable alloy, allowing the gunner to carry a good deal of ammunition without much extra weight. The comm system in use doesn't register on modern equipment. They aren't 'talking' to each other verbally. This may seem a bit godmodish, but it's for overall effect. This is supposed to be creepy, not a chance to show off your technology.

IC: The Grunt approaches the beach, targeting the newcomers. The advanced hydraulic system in its legs contracts, then releases, propelling the Grunt into the air. It impacts with the first priest at a relative speed of 60 mph, leading with its razor-edged claw-fingers, augmented with vibration generators to add cutting power.

The boat bounced on the waves...the three teens inside(Horror movie cannon fodder!) sat inside. Jeanie the blond slut(she dies first!!) fell asleep at the wheel and the boat crashed into and island.

OOC: That's fine and it is kinda creepy cause my men don't see a thing yet... all they know is that a comm has been used, and they should be ready to fight. I don't mind anything being godmoddy as long as it doesn't end up ruining the RP. Let's keep this going... I know my own tech will seem godmoddy, however I'm just being paranoid and will remove almost anything upon request and a good reason.

What's wrong with me knowing there's something around? Have you ever seen the original alien? Remeber the air duct scene... That's the kinda creepy I was going for in this but will yeild to your vision at need.

IC: Soth suddenly found himself on the ground. Something, was atop him clawing at the armor, from the way it felt the creature had gotten through one of his thigh plates. The two escorts turned simotaniously(sp) and each fired a single shot at the creature. Soth himself, though nearly unconcious, tried to raise his aggie to shoot the damn thing... Where had it come from.

OOC: again... Just so you have the stats:

AGC-7 Autoflechette Shotgun "Aggie"
cost $850
mass 3.25 kg
length 45 cm
payload 25 mm Flechette Round
accuracy Special, it's a shotgun. It will hit the target, and everything else in front of it.
clip size 15 rounds, 5 bursts
maximum range 30 meters
firing modes single, 3 shot burst, auto
Nothing stands up to an Aggie in close up fighting, nothing. Also the Aggie now comes with a flashlight attachment or bayonet.

Demon 9 MK. III Flamer Attachment (Rifle Attachment)
Cost: $900
Mass: 2 kg
Length: 35 cm
Payload Incendiary stream
Accuracy: Special, it’s a flame-thrower
Clip size: 6 shots 2 bursts
Maximum range: 15 meters
Built to fill a new weapons niche, the Demon 9 MK. III is the premier assault weapon add-on.

I was going for maximum Alien feel with this setup. :D :shock: :? :roll:

-Double-

The Grunt is blow backwards by the force of the explosive rounds.
It begins a transmission to the nearest Commander unit, detailing the internal damage caused by the impact. 'Unit 1810 has sustained circut damage. Hypothesis: Concussive force of explosive ammunition has ruptured vital components. . . . Unit 1810 disengaging.'[/i]

OOC: Missed that little part about the explosive rounds.

The boat bounced on the waves...the three teens inside(Horror movie cannon fodder!) sat inside. Jeanie the blond slut(she dies first!!) fell asleep at the wheel and the boat crashed into and island.

The crash of the boat onto the island is observed by a lone Grunt unit, concealed in the brush near the beach. Unknown watercraft has impacted with insland. Suggest course of action. . . . Suggestion confirmed. Will continue to observe. . . .

very good now kill my teens.

OOC: Damn. Count me out. If Padmasa's small arms stuff barely makes a dent then I would need an armoured column + air support to take on one Devilish.

OOC: TD/WA/MS here. Devilish are surprsingly fragile in melee combat. They have developed such armor to allow them to close with and destroy opponents with heavy firearms. EMP is also quite effective. The large viewplates don't provide much resistance to gunfire... I'll supply weakpoints with the illistrations I plan to upload when I can get to a scanner.

Hmm. How about I send two Jedi, a ninja and an expendable chopper pilot to the area? I know that's four, but you can kill off the pilot immediately.

Joris Fimont:
16 year old male
Jedi-in-training
strong in TK and with the saber
blue lightsaber

Erica Shoney:
14 Years old female
another apprentice
strong in mind tricks and healing
purple lightsaber

Uchiha Sasuke:
15 years old male
high-level genin (low ninja rank, graduated from academy)
uses fire attacks, but they use a lot of energy. Also an excellent hand-to-hand(taijutsu) user and shuriken thrower.

If you don't allow them, then that's ok.

OOC:
To Core Worlds: That is fine. Here's an idea: Have the chopper crash and the pilot dies on impact. One more question: Are your characters good or evil?

To Celak: You want them all dead? If not, I'll edit the post.

IC: The unit observing the beach begins to see movement within the wrecked boat. The tactical computer begins to analyze the three occupants. Anaylasis suggests that lifeforms are carbon based, composed of 80% water. Aura anaylasis indicates that targets will not be useful to prime directive. Refrences suggest termination. Weaponry will be sufficent to eliminate targets. The Grunt launches itself from its hiding spot, impaling the first target, a blonde, with its humming claws.
The Grunt removes its claws from her body. Scans indicate target is still functional. Second attack is recommended. The Grunt drives its claws into her forehead, then removes them. It stands motionless for a moment, processing. Biological substances detected on primary weapon system. Testing. . . Confirmed. Biological substances will not interfere with optimal function. Recomendation: Resume termination of unknown targets. The Grunt bashes itself against the fiberglass hull of the boat, attempting to create an entrance.

OOC: Grunts are not intellegent beyond tactical and situational anaylsis.

To Core Worlds: That is fine. Here's an idea: Have the chopper crash and the pilot dies on impact. One more question: Are your characters good or evil?

OOC: Good guys, definitely good guys. They're hard to kill, and only overwhelming force can defeat Jedi and ninjas (from the Naruto manga at least), although they'll take out dozens before they fall (hey, that would be a good RP for demon invasions). I'll need you to use a SAM or something to shoot down the chopper as it reaches inland. I would like for them to survive the ordeal, if it's possible. Can hand-thrown stuff like shuriken and kunai (ninja stars and knives to the layperson) defeat the creatures? If not, then Sasuke has an M-16 rifle (he still does for long range attacks). Okay, here we go!

From a frigate out on the high seas, the small helo lifted off and headed for shore.
"Hmm. Says here that some creatures called Devilish have been causing trouble around the world, and this place is pinpointed to be the source of the creatures." Joris said, reading a report on the islands.
"Hmm. Interesting. Any idea on what we can expect?" Sasuke asked.
"Not really, but they are said to have weapons that are devastating at close range. We'll need to be careful."
"Okay, but I still have a bad feeling about this." Erica said.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Joris smirked.
"Please. You couldn't protect a stuffed animal. Besides, i can take care of myself." She shot back.
"Hey! I resent that remark!"
Sasuke just smirked at the antics of the couple. Just like Naruto and Sakura at home; they're in love.

The helo (Navy says helo; Army and Air Force say chopper) continued inland, a la Jurassic Park, and the pilot decided to look for a place to land. Little did they know that they will be landing, a bit harder than normal.

OOC: your turn!

o.oc. naw just kill the blond slut and the asshole(soon to be introduced)

I.C.Jake, the dashingly handsome hero like figure, grabbed a steel baseball bat from the remains of the boat. He didn't like this place. It felt evil....

"Hey jako! you suck!" yeeled freddie, the asshole and (insert blond sluts name because I forgot it) boyfriend.

bump for unsuspecting teens about to die. :twisted: :twisted:

The Grunt finally manages to bash its way through the fiberglass, plowing into Freddie. Hostile sighted. Recomendation: Eliminate. . . The Grunt raked its claws across the soft part of Freddie's stomach, spilling entrails across the interior of the boat. Target is non-functional.

A top a distant hill...

A single Gunner unit picks up the heat signature of a chopper on its infared scanner. Airborne vehicle approaching. Anaylasis: Rotor-driven. Course of action: Eliminate. . . The Gunner levels its twin autocannons at the incoming chopper and opens fire, bullets tearing into the cockpit. It watches is robotic satisfaction as the vehicle begins to fall.
Airbourne vehicle eliminated. Recomendation: Deploy Grunt units to investigate/secure area.

"What the...?" Joris exclaimed, as the helo began to fall and bullets flew by their heads.
"We're hit! What about the pilot?" Erica exclaimed.
"Dead." Sasuke simply said, looking at the bloody mess up front.
"Stabilize! Use the Force!" Joris shouted.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Erica yelled. Together, the two young Jedi managed to keep the helo from landing too hard, though it was still bone-jarring. The three young heroes ran out of the helicopter as it exploded, sending them to the ground.

They picked themselves up and the Jedi felt something...bad coming after them.
"They're coming! Get ready!" Sasuke yelled, shuriken out and ready to throw. The Jedi immediatley ignited their lightsabers. *snap-hiss-huummm...*

OOC: Celack, can we have each other's characters meet up soon? It sounds like your Jake is a bit Force-sensitive, thought this place is definitely not the best place to train.

Nine Grunt units crash through the underbrush, supported by a pair of Stalker units. Three Grunts leap towards the ninja, seemingly out of nowhere. A fourth blows past the female Jedi's head, swinging its humming claws. Yet two more Grunts dive towards the male Jedi, leading with their claws.

Erica sensed the Devilish and ducked. She then slashed the creature diagonally across the midsection, cutting it in half from waist to shoulder. Sasuke jumped high and threw the shuriken at the grunts' necks and other soft areas, then came down on their heads. Jonis decapitated one grunt, and slashed the other's arms off, then stabbed him in the chest. Jonris then stuck out a hand and pushed away the Stalkers, then Sasuke finished them off with his M-16.

Heroes: 11, Devilish: 0

OOC: How's that for a quick, but intense battle? :D

OOC: A few problems
1. A 5.56mm isn't going to punch through Devilish armor.
2. Shirukens aren't going to either.
3. Lightsabers work, so does blunt trama, which ruptures their circuts.
4. Stalkers are snipers, they stay far back from the fighting, firing special rail guns. They blend with their surroundings, making them nearly impossible to hit with ranged weapons.
5. Vulnerable areas on a Devilish (Ranged): Viewplates. (Will become clear when I can scan a few pics and upload them.
6. In general, ranged weapons, short of some sort of rail driver or explosive weapon, aren't going to injure a Devilish.

I'll accept the losses of the Grunts, but the Stalkers are going to be a bit tougher to defeat.

IC: The Stalkers return fire with thier Rail guns, changing position with incredible speed. A Grunt seemingly drops from the sky on top of the ninja, and the two remaining Grunts attack the Jedi from behind.

Listening to the news reports, Prince Buri began to feel a sense of cold dread. "This cant be allowed to continue!" Buri slammed his fist down on the table, spilling his ramen. Zagoth raised to his feet, sensing what the prince was about to say. "Zagoth, Id like you to send representitives to try and convince these beings to stop hurting people, and if they arent sentient, than find a way to contain them." Zagoth noded and exited the room quickly. As he entered his chamber, he lightly pushed the third button down on his videophone and after a few moments, a young woman appeared on the screen. Her hair reached her shoulders, curling at the bottom, and she wore a purple bodysuit with a black belt. Seeing Zagoth, she quickly saluted. "Lord Zagoth, what is it you need?" Zagoth sat back into the large chair before the phone. "Leona, you and Philip are to investigate these rumors of strange metallic creatures, I trust you've heard them?" Leona noded quickly, before Zagoth cut her off. "Once you locate them, I want you to acquire their genetic materials, if they have any, a vial of blood will be enough. And than kill everything, the prince isint to know, so do make it look like an accident, or natural disaster, I really dont care, just make sure they're all dead, and no one can link you to me." Leona was used to these kinds of missions by now, and knew she wouldent have any time to ask questions. Sure enough, Zagoth hung up immediatly.

OOC:
To the new guy: Read the first page. Done that? Good. Now get your people to the island. Note: Ranged weaponry isn't going to be very effective against Devilish attack units. I'd suggest using EMP weaponry, high explosives, or blunt weapons.

A single unit watches the conflict below, perched atop a nearby hill. This unit looked similar to the Grunts, but was covered in red armor plating. The right hand contained a small 14mm autopistol, while the left bore the same blade-fingers that the Grunts and Infiltrators used as primary weapons. The red unit observes its charges and their opponents.
It intercepted a transmission from a Grunt unit a mile or two away. 'Unit 1810 transmitting. . . Unit 1810 suffers from internal damage. Hypothesis: Damage caused by unknown form of ammunition. Suggestion: Unit 1810 contacts unknown visitors'. . .

As Leona entered the dock, her younger brother happily ran to her side. "So, we gotta new mission?" Leona noded, headed to the armory. "We dont know what were facing, so I suggest we take our specialty weapons, some plastics explosives, and a few oil drums." Philip looked up at her confused "What the oil for?" With a click, she loaded the cartredges into her pistols. "Zagoth wants us to eliminate everything on the island, we can use the oil to burn a large portion of it. And if they are robots, it might make a useful weapon as well." Philip put his pistols in the holsters under his cloak, and reached for his energy staff, twirling it theatrically. "Stop that before you break something again." Leona said with a sigh. "You know Im too good for that! So, are we taking the Gustaff?" Shaking her head, Leona pointed to the submersable unit on the other side of the dock. "The Prince might notice the markings of our plane, so were going to drop down to the ocean while the continent is floating above, and we'll take a passenger plane back later on. After the preperations were finished, Leona hit the switch to drop the submersable, Philip secretly crossing his fingers. With a massive splash, the unit feel into the water, it looked as if the hull may smash in from the force of the drop, but amazingly it survived. The worst of it over, Philip entered the co-ordinates and the auto-pilot took over.

ooc: heres the characters stats

Name:Leona Marku
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Armaments: A broadsword, and twin pistols (8 shots). She also has a hunting knife hidden in her right boot.

Philip Marku
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Armaments: Twin Pistols (8 shots), Energy Staff (A black four foot long staff, with a blunt end, with the push of a button, the end will become capable of delivering powerful electric shocks), his hair band also functions as foot binding bola.

A single Stalker unit watches the arrival of the small submersible through its IR scanner. 'Situation: Submersible vehicle arrival. Course of action: Terminate occupants. Secondary Couse of action: Scan auras of occupants. Occupants may serve the Collective. . .

OOC: Your people good or evil, Buri? This will determine how the Devilish respond to their arrival.

OOC: A few problems
1. A 5.56mm isn't going to punch through Devilish armor.
2. Shirukens aren't going to either.
3. Lightsabers work, so does blunt trama, which ruptures their circuts.
4. Stalkers are snipers, they stay far back from the fighting, firing special rail guns. They blend with their surroundings, making them nearly impossible to hit with ranged weapons.

6. In general, ranged weapons, short of some sort of rail driver or explosive weapon, aren't going to injure a Devilish.

I'll accept the losses of the Grunts, but the Stalkers are going to be a bit tougher to defeat.

IC: The Stalkers return fire with thier Rail guns, changing position with incredible speed. A Grunt seemingly drops from the sky on top of the ninja, and the two remaining Grunts attack the Jedi from behind.

OOC: Damn! Now i know Sasuke should've brought an EMP gun or a staff. Oh well, maybe hard kicks would work.

The shuriken and bullets harmlessly bounce off the grunts' armor, and the young ninja fights off the grunt on his back. He kicks hard and the grunt seems to stop. The young Jedi deflect (read: vaporize) the bullets coming after them, but it's hard work, as they seem to come from everywhere. the grunts behind them are taken down by quick whirling swipes, and they resume blocking the bullets. Sasuke then jumps up a tree and then hops from branch to branch, getting closer to the stalkers. He dropped on top of them and used the M-16 to bean them, rupturing their circuits. (OOC: may i should have him find a strong staff lying around somewhere?)

The battle ended, the trio drink water from their bottles and eat trail bars. They then travel through the forest, hoping to meet other people and combine abilities to defeat these creatures.

OOC: We should meet up rather soon, Buri.

A single Grunt unit twitches, its lower half located somewhere to its right. 'Unit 549 reports failure to terminate hostiles. Recomendation: Contact hostiles, ascertain intent.' The Grunt's bisected powersource gives out, and it shuts down.

Futher down the trail...

A single Devilish combat unit drops down in front of the trio. The unit is colored a crimson color, with black viewplates. The right hand contains a 14mm autopistol, and the left hand bears the all-too-familiar blade-fingers common to Grunt and Infiltrator units. It's speaker crackles with static.

"Greeting: Hello. Unit Designation: 18C. Question: Intent of gathered biological lifeforms."

The unit stands motionless, waiting for a reply.

ooc: oops, forgot about that. Leona would do anything Zagoth told her in order to protect Philip, no matter how horrible, and Philip is quite nice but has a vicious streak a mile wide. Ill leave them to your judgement on it.

IC: Each wave against the side of the vessel caused an unsettling groan, the drop had taken a lot out of the the ship which Philip had christened "The Apocrypha" moments before. Leona didnt much care what their vehicles were called, and probably wouldent bother naming them if Philip didnt insist on it. "So, how much farther is it?" With a yawn Philip rose up from the pile of beanbag pillows he had just recently moved to the Apocrypha. "Were almost there now, about ten minutes until we reach the island." Philip hoped up and did a few jumping jacks to wake himself up fully. "You know Philip, if you didnt insist on taking a nap before every mission, you wouldent have to do that." He laughed lightly as he stopped. "Yeah, but than I wouldent have all my energy for the mission." Leona laughed back. "I guess your right, maybe I should try it sometime." As the island came into view, Leona returned to the buisnesslike tone from before. "All ready?" Philip noded with an "Em", Twirling his staff into position.

The Stalker unit scans the submersible with its aural scanner. 'Scanning. . . Scans indicate two occupants, Species: Human. Aural scans indicate occupants may be useful to the Collective. Recomendation: Subdue occupants for Drone retrival.' The Stalker loads a special round into its railgun, designed to explode on impact and release a disabling nerve agent,

OOC: Buri, your people will be taken deeper into the island, with your permission.

ooc: Its ok with me.

OOC: Alrighty, they'll be knocked out by the Stalker shortly after they disembark from their mini-sub.

The Apocrypha had approuched from a diffrent angle than the other vessels, none of the fighting that was going on was visable to the Marku's, to them it seemed totally empty and eerily quiet. They had honestly expected to see a vast mechanical city, or a scene out of Dante's Inferno. Groaning from the strain, the Apocrypha pulled up to the beach and slowly drew to a stop. As the side panel doors slid open, Philip leaped out and dropped to his knees, kissing the sand. "Were alive!" In a moment, he regained his composure, holding his staff close. "I've got a bad feeling sis, a hive of monsters shouldent be this quiet... should it?"

The Stalker leveled the rail gun at the sand a few inches from the new arrivals, then fired. A silver canister thumped into the sand at their feet, then began to hiss, white smoke rising in a small pillar from the center. 'Disableling of targets will be complete soon. Recomendation: Dispatch Drones to recover possible assets for the Collective.' The Stalker watched as the pair began to stumble.

OOC: I'm off for now, but keep posting, I'll be on later.

Leona coughed as the gas begin to spray out from the canister. "It... was a trap!" Cursing herself for not bringing any gas masks, she soon collapsed to the beach. Philip succumbed even faster, using his staff to stay up on one knee. "Sis... are we gonna be all right?" Before Leona could respond, both feel face down.

A single Grunt unit twitches, its lower half located somewhere to its right. 'Unit 549 reports failure to terminate hostiles. Recomendation: Contact hostiles, ascertain intent.' The Grunt's bisected powersource gives out, and it shuts down.

"Greeting: Hello. Unit Designation: 18C. Question: Intent of gathered biological lifeforms."

The unit stands motionless, waiting for a reply.

First they fight us, now they wanna talk, Joris telepathized Erica.
She shrugged. Testing our skills, I guess. "Uh. Hello. We were investigating some murders and our friend and president decided to send us here, because the source of these killings were pinpointed here."

The three wary teens waited for a response from the cyborg(?).

The speaker buzzes again.

"Inquiry: Aura scans indicate preference of good over evil. Are scans correct?"

Again, the red combat unit is silent, waiting

OOC: Devilish combat units are all robotic, each endowed with a limited AI. Commander units (The red ones) have more advanced AI, and can coordinate large numbers of Devilish. I'm planning on introducing my main RP character later on in this RP, he has morals and a sense of right and wrong, so he will be marked for termination by the Collective, the leaders of the Devilish.

o.o.c i think that it would be a great idea for CW characters and mine to meet up

I.C. Jake turned around and saw a small imp over Freedie. He batted the imp through to now broken window.

"took-you-long-enough-captain-ugly-he-" and freddie died. Jake didn't mourn but instead grabbed th eloaded spear gun that all teans have aboard their boats.

"True. We do not harm life needlessly. A Jedi's mandate is to protect the weak and innocent." Jonis bravely said.
"It is the same for a ninja." Sasuke added.

OOC: Sorry, I've been busy, and this will have to be a quicky.

IC: *Soth levered himself to his feetand glanced at his leg. It bled alittle, and the armor was dented but otherise there was no damage. He looked at the two priests.*

"Let's go, and keep your figners on those triggers... I don't want to take another hit like that."

"Aye lord"

"Damn right, let's keep moving."

*Soth began walking down the path his Aggie ready to fire... He would not be so reckless next time.*

bump for more people to come in. It's great!

A pair of Grunt units dropped from the overhanging branches, followed by a slightly different unit. The new unit was a crimson red color, looked nearly indentical to a Grunt, except that the right hand was some sort of projectile weapon.

"Greeting: Hello. Unit Designation: 22C. Inquiry: Aura scanning indicates preference of evil over good. Result: Unknown biological lifeforms will be useful to the Collective. Order: Follow Unit 22C."

The red combat unit turns, then begins to move towards a large tree.

At the beach...

Several Devilish units of an unknown type begin to advance on the beach. They resemble the other units, but are covered with white armor plating, and have a trio of short claws on their hands, instead of the Devilish's preferred weapon, blade-fingers. The units scoop up the unconcious pair of humans, then they disappear back into the jungle. The Stalker sentry watches, not out of intrest, but out of programming. 'Unit 556S reports succesful capture of unknown biological lifefroms. Situation: Drone units have secured captives. Course of Action: Will remain at current location.' A pair of the Drone units begin to dismantle the mini-sub with cutting lasers. The metal will be studied and cataloged, tested for duribility, then it might be used in production of a Devilish combat unit.
Within mintues, the mini-sub is a pile of scrap metal, which more Drones begin to haul off.

On the jungle path...

The red combat unit stands motionless.

"Situation: Targets are not useful to the Collective. Course of Action: Immediate capture. Secondary Course of Action: Termination."

Behind the trio, a hidden Stalker unit loads its railgun with the same canister as the unit on the beach. It fires, then canister thumping into the dirt behind the two Jedi, and the ninja. Thick white smoke curls up from the center.

OOC: Two Jedi and a ninja... an odd combination.

OOC: I know, but a puppet of mine is called Konohagekure Village (where Sasuke is from in the 'Naruto' manga; S and N are rival ninja students), and our two nations are almost one in terms of everything. They even share a common border like the US and Canada does. Besides they make a cool and deadly infiltrator team together. ^_^

"Gas!" Jonis cried. They held their breaths as long as possible, but even at two minutes (normal human record), they still had to breathe in, and once the knockout gas was inhaled, they slumped to the forest floor, unconsious.

Again, more of the Drones swarm out of the jungle underbrush, heaving the capitves up in their arms, then moving them to testing facilites beneath the island. The Drones strap them into stretchers, then sit them up right. The two Jedi are stripped of their lightsabers, and neural inhibitors are attached to their heads. A pair of Infiltrator units guard the room's entrance. The ninja is locked in a small cell, after being scanned for metallic items. A single Devilish unit monitors his lifesigns, waiting for him to awaken.

OOC: Satisfactory?

A pair of Grunt units dropped from the overhanging branches, followed by a slightly different unit. The new unit was a crimson red color, looked nearly indentical to a Grunt, except that the right hand was some sort of projectile weapon.

"Greeting: Hello. Unit Designation: 22C. Inquiry: Aura scanning indicates preference of evil over good. Result: Unknown biological lifeforms will be useful to the Collective. Order: Follow Unit 22C."

The red combat unit turns, then begins to move towards a large tree.

*Soth glared at the being... It was an odd little creature. he pondered shooting it, and the others. Remembering his mission he quickly lowered the shotgun.*

"Okay, we follow the little thing. Weapons at the ready, full auto. If it starts to look like a trap we start blasting at the standard codeword. Let's move it out."

"Affirmative," choursed the two priests.

*The trio set off after the creature warily, thier guns always drifiting between the creature ahead and the jungle to either side of them. *

The unit stands before the tree for a bit, then a small door opens. The trio of Devilish step inside. The Grunts step onto a small lift-thing. The Commander unit waits for the others to follow.

OOC: Satisfactory?

OOC: As Palpatine would say, "Excellent! Everything is proceeding as I have forseen." :twisted:
Neural inhibitors do stop Force powers, and only a Master could possibly ovverride them. Even so, it'll take a large drain on the Jedi, which these teens can't handle without burning out. Your robots are safe from telekinesis.

IC:
Sasuke groaned in pain, as he slowly revived. Once awake, he surveyed the cell. It was rather small and rocky, with only a cot and a small table. He noticed that the Jedi are on stretchers, but there's nothing that could be done, for now...

[As the ninja glaces around, he notices a Devilish in the cell across from him[/i]

As the ninja glaces around, he notices a Devilish in the cell across from him

Why is one of those cyborgs in here? Sasuke wondered.

"Hey! What happened to you?" He whispered to the Devilish.

The unit stands before the tree for a bit, then a small door opens. The trio of Devilish step inside. The Grunts step onto a small lift-thing. The Commander unit waits for the others to follow.

*Soth stepped inside, though he had to hunch over. The two priests followed and went to one side of the lift, discreetly aiming their guns at the creatures that they followed. Soth grinned and waited.*

The Devilish turns its head to face the man.

"Response: Unit 942 has expressed distaste for the Collective and its methods. Unit 942 has developed morals, and is no longer of use to the Collective. Unit 942 is cited for termination."

The small robot seats itself on a bench in the cell. For a robot, it acts quite human.

"Statement: Unit 942 desires to escape. Inquiry: Does unknown biological lifeform share Unit 942's desire?"

Back in the tree...

The lift descends, and the small doors open up into a larger room. The room is filled with sparking machinery, and hundreds of Drones going about various tasks. A conveyor belt brings newly completed Grunt units into the room for AI installation and armament.

"Statement: The Collective is waiting. Units 887 and 1298 will escort biological lifeforms to Collective chambers. Order: All weapons will be left with Unit 999D. Failure to comply will result in immdiate termination."

The two Grunts adopt a ready stance, as ordered silently by the commander. The red Commander unit waits with robotic patience for a response.

-Damn Forum-

-Damn Forum-

*Soth turned to the thing and nodded. He dropped his shotgun at the things feet, along with his pistols. He glanced around for a moment before hesitantly placing his chainsword, still in it's sheath at the thing's feet. Both priests reverntly laid their staves down before tossing their ARZs down also.*

"Hold on. Take the clips, and strip the weapons. No sense in letting them know more about us then needed.

*Soth himself picked up his guns and stripped them slipping the clips and parts into his robes, the priests did the same. In moments the chainsword was the only thing that was still in it's original state, Soth took the hilt off of it and placed that into his robes also.*

"Alright, now we go."

*The three, now bare of their weapons, set off after the two grunts.*

The Grunts lead the three men into a large room. The walls and floor are lined with autotargeting automatic railgun turrets. The Grunts take up positons on either side of the door. In the center of the room sits a set of four Devilish 'heads', each situated on top of a large computer housing.

"We are the Collective. Unit 38C informs us that you might be an asset to the Devilish Empire."

A trio of chairs come up from the floor.

"Please, seat yourselves."

The Devilish turns its head to face the man.

"Response: Unit 942 has expressed distaste for the Collective and its methods. Unit 942 has developed morals, and is no longer of use to the Collective. Unit 942 is cited for termination."

The small robot seats itself on a bench in the cell. For a robot, it acts quite human.

"Statement: Unit 942 desires to escape. Inquiry: Does unknown biological lifeform share Unit 942's desire?"

<snip>

"Yes, but I don't exactly see how we can escape at the moment, seeing as there's the other tin cans out here keeping watch. And the name's Sasuke."

*Soth seats himself with a clank and the two priests do likewise.*

"Greetings to you. I am Soth, part of the bewaffnete schwarze Priester. I have been dispatched by The Dark Masters to establish contact with your empire and possible secure non-agression pacts. Those with me are laymen of my order."

*Soth smiles wolfishly at the "heads"*

"Before we begin, I must ask why I was attacked as I went to meet you. The damage was next to nothing, but I must ask."

Leona and Philip remained unconcious the entire trip into the forest, Philip stirred a few times, but quickly went motionless again.

bump

The two Buri operatives are placed in the same room with the other captives, in a cell next to the rogue Devilish unit 942. A specially equipped Drone prods them with a slight electric shock, waking them from their slumber. It exits the chamber, but the two Infiltrator guards remain.

In the Collective's Chamber...

The middle 'head' speaks...

"You were being tested, Priest Soth. As of now, our combat units are made from high-tensile strength steel. This is inadequate for our purposes. When the Collective was first placed on this planet, it was deposited with a substantial amount of the metal Mithrill, which is used solely in the construction of our Infiltrator units, as well as the ammunition for the Gunner units. During excavation of the island, Mining Team 9 located a substantial deposit of the metal Adamantium. Adamantium has withstood all forms of weapons testing, and will allow for greater effectiveness for our combat units. As of now, we have been able to produce a single combat unit, an AIU, made from Adamantium. The Devilish empire would be grateful if you would provide us with a means of processing this metal more efficently. Your nation will be rewarded with substantial funding from several Devilish-operated businesses, as well as military backing from our new combat units. Collective 3 has other questions for you."

The right 'head' begins to speak

"I am interested in your weaponry. It has been my task to design new combat units, and I am interested in the ammunition your weapons fire. Several years ago, a small military vessel was wrecked on this island. Grunt units 1034-1049 were dispatched to neutralize the threat. The weaponry used on them was ineffective, and they were quickly slaughtered. Drone units arrived shortly after, and dismatled the vessel. The material was smelted, and used to produce more combat units."

The trio of heads become silent, as if waiting for a response.

In the Cell Block...

Unit 942 listens carefully.

"Statement: It is possible for Unit 942 and biological lifefrom 'Sasuke' to escape from the Collective. Course of Action: Biological lifefrom 'Sasuke' will manually active Unit 942's prototype nanoconstruction system. Unit 942 will then release biological lifefrom 'Susuke'."

Unit 942 steps into the light, revealing that it has been stripped of its arms. It turns around, and seems to be wearing some sort of metal backpack, permanently attached to its back. A comm antenna sticks out of the top-left side. On the lower-right side glows a small red button. This is apparently the button that will activate Unit 942's 'backpack'.

OOC: How far is Sasuke from Unit 942? and are they separated by ordinary bars, or what? I need to know before deciding the next course of action.

Philip rubbed his head as he got back to his feet, not surprised to see that Leona was already up, and not looking at all worse for wear. Leona leaned against the wall, taking in all the rooms details, looking for any possible method of escape. Philip wasent nearly so cool, taking out his fury on the wall, and badily hurting his foot in the process. "You know, that really doesnt help." Dropping to hug his sore foot, Philip looked back up at his sister. "Your right, so, what do you think their gonna do to us?" Leona shook her head. "Well, if they were going to kill us, they have already had ample chance. Id say were either going to be ransomed, or interegated." Philip dug his nails into his palm. "And I dont think Zagoth would help us, and if the Prince finds out, Zagoth will have us killed anyways, so were out of luck." Leona adjusted her gaze to the two guardians. "So, are you going to keep us in the dark, or do you feel like answering our questions? I know you can hear them."

*Soth smiled*

"Adamantium? We would be happy to aid you in processign of this metal, however we will need some of it for testing purposes. Especially against our current toughest metal Tungsten-Neutronite... I am sure we can come to an agreement about how to use this. As to our weapons, the ARZ 11 mm SAW with MightyMite explosive rounds. I myself cannot provide extensive details about the weapon and its ammunition but I could msot likely offer you a trade agreement. Padmasa, the empire I represent also has control of a large arms company, Thundercorp. Prehaps for a certian amount of Adamantium we could provide some small ammount of whatever you need..."

*Soth leaned foward*

"As to this previous party, it is likely they were using out-dated weapons that, frankly, are a joke to those of us in Padmasa"

*Soth once again leaned back, awaiting a response.*

The two Jedi woke up to find themselves strapped to stretchers, and immediately realized they were cut off from the Force. They now felt like a giant portion of themselves have been ripped away by the inhibitors, and thus, they felt extremely weak. They saw Sasuke speaking with a Devilish, and wondered what happened. They hoped it was nothing...

In the Detention block....

Unit 942 steps closer to the bars that make up the fourth wall of the cell. He stands backwards, waiting for Sasuke to activate his equipment.

The two guards don't stir, not responding to the Buri operative's comment

In the Collective's Chamber....

The middle head speaks again

"That will be satisfactory. When you leave, inform your leaders of our agreement. Now, I have a few more personal questions. What is this cult that you are a Priest in?"

Well, when in doubt... Sasuke thought, as he reached for the red button. If this didn't work, it's doubtful that Sasuke would return alive back to Konoha Village. He pushed the button and waited for something to happen.

OOC:
Where are the lightsabers hidden, and is there a melee weapons cache somewhere? If not, with your permission, I'll create a closet with such weapons and the lightsabers stashed in there too. Also, here is a pic of Sasuke for visual images:
http://www.narutoguide.com/images/biographies_Sasuke.jpg

"Well, my lords, I am one of the high priests of the militant arm of my church. We follow The Lord of Darkness everlasting and the Lady Death. We are the elite magi of the Padmasan army and lead the troops when on crusade... though it has been years since the last great crusade."

OOC: Weaponry is stashed in a seperate room, and is being studied closely by Devilish scientists. 942 is more than capable of dealing with the guards, so don't worry about protection.

IC:

In the Cell Block...

The small backpack hums to life, and a pair of arms slowly form on Unit 942, each ending with a set of blade-fingers. 942 slashes his way through the bars, then switches weaponry, from blade-fingers to a pair of 14mm autopistols. Seconds after 942 escaped his cell, the two Infilitrators attacked, diving towards him. 942 riddled their viewplates with 14mm rounds, destroying the internal AI circuitry. Switching one hand back to blade-fingers, he releases Sasuke and the Buri operatives. He then releases the Jedi, and switches back to the dual autopistol loadout.

"Statement: Biological lifeform Sasuke is free. Suggestion: Accompany Unit 942 to retrieve weaponry. Unit 942 will protect Biological lifeform Sasuke from Devilish combat units."

942 blows the locks off of the doors, then kicks them in, stepping into the hallway and eliminating several responding Grunt units in the same manner as the Infintrators.

In the Collective's Chamber...

The three heads fall silent for a moment, then the middle one speaks.

"Unit 942 has escaped. Priest Soth, I would advise you not to leave the safety of this chamber. Unit 942 is virtually unstoppable. It is the AIU, or Autonomus Infiltration Unit, we spoke of earlier, the one made of adamantium."

The head falls silent again, silently dispatching orders for combat units to scramble and eliminate the rogue AIU.

He's fast. Sasuke noted. He and the Jedi (are the inhibitors removed?) follow the unit to the weapon room. They are wary of any other Devilish robots that may come.

Philip was still a big groggy, but he managed to keep up the pace with Leona and the others. "Sis, did they get your knife too?" Leona noded "I see they missed your bola though, you were smart to disguise it as a hairband. "Sis, why is that... whatever they are helping us anyway?"

bump

"That is acceptable, though I find myself wishing you had not taken my weapons at this point."

*Soth sat back and closed his eyes guessing that it would be some time before he would be leaving.*

942 enters a nearby room, blasting the Drones that were working there, never missing a shot. He lowers the smoking weapons, then performs a quick scan.

"Statement: Unit 942 has located the weaponry of bioligical lifefrom Sasuke and other biological lifeforms. Reconmended Course of Action: Biological Lifeforms should arm themselves."

942 falls silent for a moment, as if contemplating something.

"Inquiry: Would biological lifeforms allow Unit 942 to scan weaponry? Unit 942 has identified several useful characteristics that current weapon scematics don't exibit. Scanning process takes only seconds."

942 seems to be more concious of feelings and emotions than the encountered Devilish. His manner is that of a shy male.

In the Collective's Chamber....

The middle head speaks again, the others are silent, dealing with the recent escape of the prisoners.

"This is fortunate, Priest Soth. You are well protected in here, and I suppose you have many questions for us. Is my assumption correct?"

OOC: I'm a puppet of Coreworlds, BTW.

IC:
"Intruging." Joris said, wondering what happened with his lightsaber. "Scan away."

OOC: Are the inhibitors to suppress Force powers off the Jedi's heads?

OOC: The damn things aren't wired into your head. Remove away.

OOC: Damn, I'm stupid today, :P . Consider them gone.

"Well of course my lords. My first question and one of my only questions, is: what is the chance of units going rouge like this? I support an alliance between our nations, but if this sort of thing happens often the I don't think we will ever be able to allow your units into padmasan land."

*Soth smiled suddenly*

"If we were to kill these escapees... and disable the one fleeing your control, would there be any reward for us?

The middle head speaks again.

"Unit 942 was experimental. It was designed to be intelligent enough to operate without the supervision of a Commander unit. Unit 942 began to learn from data archives, and developed a... distaste for the Collective and the missions we had prepared for him. It is doubtful that you will be able to eliminate 942. The Grunt unit you encountered was attacking with our most basic testing protocol, and it was a single unit. Against a squad supervised by a commander, using battle tactics, you and your men would have been cut down within seconds. 942 is faster, smarter, and far more durable than any units you have encoutered. 942 is also outfitted with a prototype nanotech construction device, allowing him to switch weaponry at will. His exoskeleton consists of a quarter inch of adamantium, and his viewplates are interwoven with ballistic-grade nomex fibers strong enough to stop a 5.56x45mm round. 942 is accurate with projectile weaponry and capable of moving at speeds in excess of seventy miles per hour. You will not be able to stop him. Whatever he is attacked with, he invents methods of countering it, improving himself, upgrading. He can reproduce weaponry that he scans into his memory banks. If you attempt to fight him, he will kill you and become stronger with the addition of your special ammunition. I recommend that you stay here, in the safety of our chamber. Our other combat units are more loyal than religious fanatics, and will attempt to stop 942."

In the Cell Block...

942 scans the lightsabers, copying the scematics into his memory.

"Statement: Scanning complete. Take your weapons."

942 exits the room, the nanites reforming his left hand into an emitter. Moments later, a bright red beam extends from it, about a foot and a half in length.

-Damn Forum-

The Jedi exchanged glances in surprise at Unit 942's lightsaber as they recalled their own. This was something they did not expect from a robot, not even a droid. So, it is not just Jedi that could build their own lightsabers, but this Devilish unit as well.
"Well, that was unexpected!" Joris exclaimed.
"Indeed." Sasuke said, retrieving his own weapons, and grabbing a staff and a sword lying around. Should be better than a gun, he thought, strapping the sheathed sword to his belt.

"Well, what are we waiting for?. Let's get out of here!" Erica said.

"Statement: Nanites can replicate the molecular construction of crystals. This weapon will prove useful."

942 storms the hallway, cleaving a path through the working Drones as he went, testing his new weapon.

"Anayasis: Weapon is indeed useful. Unknown biological lifeforms are wise to carry such an item."

"Yeah they are useful. It's also good for deflecting bullets and laser bolts, if you're fast enough, and you can cut through doors." Joris said. "We Jedi use lightsabers for defense of the weak and innocent, and usually as a last resort."

"And it's also good for making scrap metal." Erica giggled, noticing the cut up worker drones. "Our main weapons are very useful tools."

"Oh, I don't know. Fifteen kilos of detonex can work wonders..." Soth mused.

"Do you have any idea how it plans to get away from the island? How did it's allies to the isle, it likely plans to escape with them."

This time, the left head responds.

"That may be true, but getting 942 to this explosive substance would be quite a feat. As we speak, Collective 2 is preparing modifications to our current combat unit designs. You are welcome to take units back to your homeland, for testing purposes. Perhaps you will be able to improve on our designs."

In the Cell Block Hallway...

942 dispatches Grunt after Grunt, each falling with a smoking, sparking hole in their viewplates. Stalker units open fire from concealed locations, and 942 catches several of the projectiles with his lightsaber. The rest plink off of his armor, nanites scrambling to repair the dents. A pair of Infiltrators attack, and are reduced to smoking metal chunks by 942's new weapon. The pistol-hand reforms into a nozzle-unit of some sort, and 942 brings chunks of the Infiltrator units into himself. His armor goes from a deep gray to a lighter silver as the mithrill in the Infiltrator armor plating is melded with the adamantium. 942 seems to sigh in satisfaction

"Statement: How do biological units plan to escape Collective's forces. Landmass is surrounded on all sides by unknown chemical compound, molecular structure H2O. Chemical compound will be hazardous to Unit 942's inner circuits without waterproofing. Commencing. . . ."

942's backpack hums slightly, and his joints fill slightly with a white gel.

"Statement: Waterproofing is complete."

"Get it to the... I didn't know that you made jokes. Why, it is but a simple matter of getting to the weapons locker of my dropship and taking our three bantam 5s and some 15 CHE rockets. But as to your other comments, we will be happy to. We have long waited to test our military against an advanced foe.

o.o.c. aw fudge. I forgot bout this. I post now.

I.C. hero guy and slut (forgot their names) were walking down a jungle path. The hero was carrying a baseball bat and a fully loaded speargun.

"Hmm, we have a frigate waiting out in the open seas, but our helicopter crashlanded when we arrived here." Erika said, helping to deflect bullets. "We'll have to find another way out to the ship."

The right head speaks, taking a break in ordering units against Unit 942.

"We are aware of the meaning of 'joke'. Self-propelled projectiles are as useful as bullets against Unit 942. He was designed to bea able to defeat such primitive weapons systems."

In the Cell Block hallway...

942's pistol returns, and he hacks open a set of elevator doors. Stepping inside, the advanced hydraulic units in his legs contract, and 942 launches himself up the twenty-foot tall shaft, landing in a small hangar bay.

The Jedi follow with Force jumps, while Sasuke jumps from wall to wall. What they found in the hangar was...

942 steps toward a small fighter craft.

"Statement: This vehicle is Unit 942's transportation. Seating capacity is limited to Unit 942. Unit 942's companions may attach themselves to the craft."

Jeanie and Jake walked down a path in the jungle hoping whatever killed freddie won't attack them


Hint Hint!!!!

*The kids sweatdrop.*
"Uh, we can't really go too high or too fast or else we'll fall off." Sasuke pointed out.
"Yeah. Is there another way we can get out?" Joris asked. In a pinch, Joris can pilot an aircraft, but has a bit of trouble landing at the moment.

*destroyed by Death Star*

sliced in half

OOC: hey Celack, do you want your chars and ours to meet up?

Yep. Jeanie is going to die though.

OOC: Too bad. No big loss, since i believe the girl's a slut, right? Jake's a cool name.

bump for the Devilish!

bumpity bump

bump

942 lowers himself into the small craft's cockpit, closing the canopy.

"Suggestion: Board wings of Unit 942's craft now. Response units will be alerted as soon as hangar doors are destroyed."

"All right, but don't make us fall off." Joris warned. They grabbed the wings and held on tight.

Jeanie and Jake seem to be forgotten.

Jeanie and Jake seem to be forgotten.

In the air...
"Hey, Unit 942, There seems to be two people down there. Shall we go and see about them?" Sasuke shouted over the wind.

o.o.c must have missed something.. Why is 942 helping you?

o.o.c must have missed something.. Why is 942 helping you?

Has a circuit that made him more moral than other Devilish. He also has a lightsaber.

ooooooooooookay then.

The right head speaks, taking a break in ordering units against Unit 942.

"We are aware of the meaning of 'joke'. Self-propelled projectiles are as useful as bullets against Unit 942. He was designed to bea able to defeat such primitive weapons systems."

"Primitive? Weren't we just testing the Render Rifle?"

"My lord, we should not mention that, especially in front of beings we have not secured an alliance with."

"Agreed."

*Soth sat waiting for something to happen.*

The middle head might have frowned had it been able to

"Bullets and self-propelled weapons are useless. Unit 942 is able to evade such weapons, or deflect them. Recent scans indicate that Unit 942 has acuired some sort of laser weapon. EMP weapons and blunt trama are effective against 942."

In the hangar bay...

942 begins to lift off in his craft, steering towards the hero guy.

OOC: Didn't a grunt disembowel your ho, Celack?

"Ah. Useful information, Useful information..."

*Soth smiled and made a note to ask The Masters to up production on Pulse grenades.*

OOC: Blunt trauma? I though you said he was made of Admantium, the fabled metal that is both amazingly light and the hardest metal in "existance."

OOC: Ever dropped a laptop and it didn't work afterwards? Same thing happens to Devilish when delivered a hard kick, a baseball blow, or a sword slice.

OOC: Swords are useless, as they cut more than pound. The vibrations produced when metal strikes metal will disrupt the vital circuitry. 942 is hardened against this sort of abuse, as are Infiltrators, but he's not immune. Unless the baseball bat is made of some sort of metal, the wood will just shatter against the steel armor of a Grunt. A kick to the 'head' might work, but its got to have the force to shatter a concrete slab, a p*ssy-ass kick isn't going to cut it. The Devilish will begin to adapt to new weapons and tactics as they encounter them often enough, sort of like the Borg, only no-where near as fast.

OOC: Can anyone else join this thing?

The middle head might have frowned had it been able to

"Bullets and self-propelled weapons are useless. Unit 942 is able to evade such weapons, or deflect them. Recent scans indicate that Unit 942 has acuired some sort of laser weapon. EMP weapons and blunt trama are effective against 942."

In the hangar bay...

942 begins to lift off in his craft, steering towards the hero guy.

OOC: Didn't a grunt disembowel your ho, Celack?No. the asshole.

OOC: Can anyone else join this thing?

I guess, unless the Devilish comes back and says otherwise. See first page for reference. Guns are no good. Lasers are. Melee weapons are good.

OOC: I'm going to kill this RP, as I keep forgetting about it. Fell free to use Unit 942 in any other RP's. I'm going to scrap this nation. The other nation, Mercenary Soldiers, will still be active, and I encourage you to join one of those RP's. I don't forget about them.

*Puts a .45 to the thread's head and squeezes the trigger.*

*tkaes defibrillator to topic*

I.C. Cleack, fearing the island, has dropped a nuke on it.

o.o.c. *shoots topic again only with all the chracters*

942 heads out to the open sea, after grabbing Jake with a claw conveniently attached to the VTOL, and spots the frigate the kids spoke of. He landed, and then Joris and the others watched as the island blew up in nuclear fire.

"Hey, Jake?" Joris called to the teen. "I know your name, since I'm a Jedi. I'm wondering, how would you like to train as a Jedi? I notice that you have quite a bit of Force potential in you, that will be quite useful once harnessed."

"I can't say I've ever heard of jedi. But it sounds good."

OOC: The Collective shouts. "WE MIGHT RETURN, AT A MUCH LATER DATE!!"

"I can't say I've ever heard of jedi. But it sounds good."

"Well, basically, we're the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, or we were, until the Order was nearly destroyed 25 years ago. We're just a few of the survivors that managed to survive, and we're growing again." Joris then ignited his lightsaber "This is a lightsaber, our main weapon. We use it to defend. It's good for blocking lasers and bullets."

Erica then spoke up. "The Force is an energy field, created by all life, that surrounds us, binds us and penetrates us. It's what holds the universe together. You got that so far?"
