Ruins of Titania

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Dash entered the drop ship still thinking about his sister, she was his pride and joy, not to mention the only person left in his life, he vowed that he wouldn't break his promise. He entered the drop ship and saw Pal, Daniel and the little cat already waiting in the ship, Mike wasn't on the ship yet. Dash secured his weapons in the holding compartment underneath his seat, then he sat down and strapped himself in. He felt his muscles tighten and he became tense, "There's no going back now." he thought.

Pal noticed Dash boarding the drop ship..."How's it going, dude?" he asked him.  "Welcome to the party!" he added.

Pal noticed Dash boarding the drop ship..."How's it going, dude?" he asked him.  "Welcome to the party!" he added.

Dash looked up, he wasn't expecting a response from one of the others. "Thanks," said Dash, "I'm just a little nervous, this is my first mission. What about you? I don't think I've seen you before, I'm guessing your not part of the CDF?"

Dash looked up, he wasn't expecting a response from one of the others. "Thanks," said Dash, "I'm just a little nervous, this is my first mission. What about you? I don't think I've seen you before, I'm guessing your not part of the CDF?"

Pal smiled.  "Nope, I'm part of 'Nebulae Fox', that the 'B Team/Junior Version' of Star Fox." he said.  "What about you?" Pal asked Dash.

(Now remember, Pal sometimes gets mistaken for a female, check his profile in the "character profiles" thread)

[Thunderstar]

(Now remember, Pal sometimes gets mistaken for a female, check his profile in the "character profiles" thread)

(I always get confused with that  )

Thunderstar reached the hanger and hoped into the drop ship, and placed on his seatbelt.

Huh, if anything goes bad or something, I have got to tell everyone about this! He thought...

(Heh, sorry to copy people's call their family thing)

He called everyone from his team on his video watch.

"Guys I'm going to Titania....."

[Star Fox Runner]

(I always get confused with that  )

Thunderstar reached the hanger, breathless, and hoped into his Arwing.

"Alrighty let's do this..." He pushed the buttons to make the Arwing start.

(Sorry if I didn't put the Arwing in profile)

"Are you guys ready?" He asked everyone in his 'talkie.

(Is everyone going to have to ride the drop ship?)

((OOC: Yeah, everyone is supposed to ride in the drop ship, no biggie, but your probably gonna want to edit your post or delete it.)

Pal smiled.  "Nope, I'm part of 'Nebulae Fox', that the 'B Team/Junior Version' of Star Fox." he said.  "What about you?" Pal asked Dash.

(Now remember, Pal sometimes gets mistaken for a female, check his profile in the "character profiles" thread)

"Me? I'm a 'special' member of the CDF Special Forces, my sister Sheila and I grew up on the streets of Corneria City after my parents were killed in an accident. After I stole some rotten thug's jetbike, I managed to survive and provide for my sister by winning underground races. The CDF picked me for my skills on a bike, and put me in a unit modeled after Star Fox. I joined under the condition that Sheila could come with me." Dash pulled a picture out of his pocket and handed it to Pal. "This is her right here" The picture showed a young red fox girl with long brown hair, and big blue eyes.

Pal took a look at the photo of Shelia.  "Wow, she's cute!" Pal said, brushing back his long, beautiful, silky hair, and crossing his legs like a female would.  "I's nice to meet you, Dash.  I'm sorry about your parents, though..." he said.

[Thunderstar]

Pal took a loook at the photo of Shelia.  "Wow, she's cute!" Pal said, brushing back his long, beautiful, silky hair, and crossing his legs like a female would.  "I's nice to meet you, Dash.  I'm sorry about your parents, though..." he said.

After calling his teammates, he looked at the photo Dash was showing to "Pal".

"Wow, you're kid is the same age as me!" Thunder replied. "Well, are you guys ready to do this?"

[Star Fox Runner]

Dash stared dumbstruck at the cat. "YOUR ONLY 11!?" Dash asked, "and I thought me being 17 was young for the CDF! What's your name, and how the heck did you make into infantry? And the girl is not my kid, she's my sister."

((OOC: If wanbliwakita5 doesn't respond soon, I'm gonna assume he's on the Drop ship and continue on, but he won't be out.))

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Pal sat back, and contemplated the mission...reflected upon his past...and looked forward to his future.

[Thunderstar]

Dash stared dumbstruck at the cat. "YOUR ONLY 11!?" Dash asked, "and I thought me being 17 was young for the CDF! What's your name, and how the heck did you make into infantry? And the girl is not my kid, she's my sister."

((OOC: If wanbliwakita5 doesn't respond soon, I'm gonna assume he's on the Drop ship and continue on, but he won't be out.))

"I'm Thunderstar," Thunder replied. "And I was here to serve Corneria! Besides, I can fight well, for an 11 year old." Ashamed, he sunked into his chair.

Why did I come here anyway, everyone knows an 11 year old is just a wimp that can't even aim well. He thought. I guess I can show everyone that skill is necessary, not size, or age.

[Braux]

Dash stared dumbstruck at the cat. "YOUR ONLY 11!?" Dash asked, "and I thought me being 17 was young for the CDF! What's your name, and how the heck did you make into infantry? And the girl is not my kid, she's my sister."

((OOC: If wanbliwakita5 doesn't respond soon, I'm gonna assume he's on the Drop ship and continue on, but he won't be out.))

((OCC: Hes my bro... Er, yeah. Right now he is going to be out for 2 days, personal buisness. I'll take over for him until he gets back, and yes, on the drop ship.))

Daniel looked at the two who called themselves "Thunderstar" and "Dash," the other, "Pal" seemed to be zoning out.

After a bit of akward silence, he extended a hand to both, greeting them.

"Hey, the name's Daniel, call me Dan, for short if you want..."

---

Next to them, Mike was setting up the GPS System for the mission.

[Thunderstar]

"Hey, Dan." Thunder sighed, and shook his hand.

[Star Fox Runner]

Dash took Daniel's hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you, I'm Dash Rylan, I think I've seen you around the base before."

The drop shuddered as the engines came to life, the rear bay door closed and sealed itself to be airtight. The pilot's voice came over the intercom. "Are you guys all inside, cuz we're leaving now!" Dash looked at the others and grinned, "Make sure your seat belts are fastened, and your tray tables are in their upright positions."

The engines revved up to a high pitched roar. Dash tightened his restraining harness, the butterflies were really flying in his stomach now. He took one last look at the picture of his sister and did the sign of the cross with it before pocketing it. The ship lifted up off the floor of the docking bay and flew out into space. The ship turned and aimed its nose toward the yellow desert of Titania. Dash, remembering a line from a movie he'd seen, smiled and shouted, "We're on an express elevator to Hell, GOING DOWN!!!" The ship rocketed toward Titania. The mission had begun.

((OOC: If your wondering where that line is from, its from the movie Aliens. Feel free to add some moments to landing of the ship, if you want it to crash, you can do it.))

[Thunderstar]

(Well, o-okay  )

The drop ship was falling as fast as an arrow, then the crew felt a very huge bump.

*CRAASH*

"Gahh, the ship crashed, I think we're here." Thunder blinked. The drop ship was on fire, everyone evacuated the ship and everyone wasn't hurt.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Pal ran out of the ship, carrying his gear, not leaving anything of his behind on the ship.  He turned and looked at the burning drop ship.

"How are we supposed to get home!?" he said.  "I'm just thinking out loud, is all..." he added, looking around.

[Thunderstar]

(Oops I think I made too, something...  )

"I think we'll have to make own own ships out of the other ships that crashed here," Thunder answered.

"I guess we have to move forward."

((OOC:  Ummm..... I was hoping for something a little less abrupt, but okay.))

After getting his equipment out of the burning ship, dash ran toward the front end of the ship to check the pilot, the entire cockpit was engulfed with flames, there was no way he was still alive. Dash began running in and out of the ship grabbing what supplies he could, making sure to get plenty of water and first aid equipment. "Damn." Dash muttered, "Barely 30 minutes into the mission and someone's already KIA, what could have gone wrong?" Dash walked around toward the tail end of the ship and through the flames noticed several holes with scorch marks around them. Dash's tail twitched, they had been attacked. He turned to the group. "This was no accident, we were shot down. Apparently someone doesn't want us here."

Dash picked up some canteens and passed them around, then grabbed a bandoleer of shotgun ammo, and blaster cells. "Grab whatever supplies you can, then lets get away from the ship before the fire hits the fuel cells. Thunderstar, grab the first aid equipment, you'll be our medic, Pal, you're in charge of spare ammo." Dash walked up on to a sand dune and looked out over the landscape, he could see the ruins they were supposed to get to from here. "We missed our drop zone, but luckily we're still near the ruins, lets get there before it gets too hot, once noon hits, it'll be scorching."

(OOC: If anyone thinks I'm taking too much control here, tell me and I'll try and fix that. By the way, who's going to be the CO for the squad, if no one wants it, I'm making Dash the CO.))

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Pal took his share of the water in its canteen, and then packed his butt pack, and flamethrower into the LC-2 style frame backpack that contained the spare ammo, which he moved to the outside pockets of the backpack.  He kept his butterfly knife and laser pistol in the holsters on his waist belt.

He scanned the area with his wrist gauntlet, and saw which way the drop zone and ruins were.  "Ready when you guys are!" he said.

[Thunderstar]

"Thunderstar accepts his job!" Thunder took the first aid kit and saluted. "I'm ready!"

(Dash is kinda like the leader in this. So he could be CO)

[Braux]

Daniel and Mike took theirs, and started out with them.

Mike, walking a bit ahead of the group, taking a heartbeat monitor and scanning the dunes.

"This thing here, it checks for heartbeats and body temperatures only. Its quite useful... especially when looking out for enemy positions..."

Dan, on the other hand, lost some of his armor in the crash, he didn't mind, although it didn't slow anyone down anyway. He had been a High Atmosphere-drop trooper, somebody who trained to wear such heavy armor, and carry more weight in supplies and weapons. But now he felt somewhat vulnerable without it...

FOOM!'

Aburbuply, the dropship burst into flames.

"Looks like salvaging the thing is out of the question..." He said.

"I'll say!" Pal said, agreeing, as he watched the drop ship burn.  Pal then turned, and sashayed in a swishy, feminine motion, as he walked through the deserts of Titania with his crew.

[Thunderstar]

(Guys I'll be gone about 5 days so I'll find a way. Or say now?)

"Ok, guys I'll go ahead to see where and how far the ruins is." Thunder replied. "I'll be back>" Thunder got on his Air Board and hovered away.

[Star Fox Runner]

Dash watched Thunderstar float away and shook his, the kid made him worried because he most likely would get himself killed if he wasn't careful, he was too over eager.

They continued on their way and soon enough, they reached the ruins. All around were set up equipment and tents, open chests full of supplies, but no people. "We'll use this place as a base camp, when we're reported overdue, they'll send another drop ship to search for us. We'll need to find a way to signal them." Dash walked closer to the entrance of a crumbling building, and noticed something lying on the ground, it was in the shape of a body. "Guys, I've found something!" Suddenly, the body  began to get up, it was one of the archeologists, a husky. "Sir, CDF Special Forces, we're here to help." The archeologist just stared at Dash. "Sir, are you okay?" In one swift movement, the husky drew a knife and charged at Dash with a feral snarl. Dash dove out of the way of the knife slash and drew his blaster. "Freeze!" yelled Dash. The husky started walking toward Dash with the knife. "I SAID FREEZE!" The husky charged again. Dash fired his blaster and hit the husky in the chest, the power of the magnum blaster blew the husky off his feet and he landed in heap a few feet away. Suddenly Dash heard yells and snarls coming from the building entrance. Dash pulled out his shotgun and loaded it.

"WE'VE GOT COMPANY!!!!!"

[Braux]

((Zombies? Like with the T-virus? They can use weapons, right?))

===

Holy crap...! Holy Crap...!

Daniel ran back as he saw what happened with dash, helping, he took the shotgun and seven more came half stumbling-half running.

He took a quick look at them, 5 were dressed in archeologists gear, they seemed to carry pickaxes. the other two...

They looked like soliders, armored to a point and one carried a combat knife.

Dan threw the shotgun sights to his cheek, then squeezed the trigger.

There was a flash of light, a smell gunpowder, then more fell to the ground, but the armored two stayed up, and kept running towards him.

He prepared for the worst as he aimed for them.

[Star Fox Runner]

((Zombies? Like with the T-virus? They can use weapons, right?))

((OOC: I was thinking more along the lines of the Progenitor Virus from Resident Evil 4, they're zombies with cognitive skills and no decaying skin, they still look nasty though, like they're sick. You were close though.))

Dash took aim with his shotgun at 2 of the archeologists running toward him, he fired, both were thrown backwards. Suddenly, Dash's shotgun was knocked from his hands as an archeologist fox grabbed his arms and began wrestling with him, Dash looked at his face, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his fur was ruffled and caked with dirt, and his breath smelled like rotten meat. Dash activated the scythe on his wrist and it jettisoned into the fox's arm, he shrieked and let go of Dash. Dash pulled the scythe out and dealt a slash across the chest and kicked him to the ground.

As Dash picked his shotgun back up, he heard a rumble of an engine as a jeep came out from behind a building, one of those armored soldiers were driving it, and an archeologist was manning the gun in the back. The soldier floored it and drove toward Dash "Oh CRAP!" Dash yelled as he dove out of the way and behind a rock as the gunner opened fire.

"PAL!" Dash yelled, "WHERE ARE YOU WITH THAT FLAMETHROWER!?"
