Starzone: Liberation

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Marcus rolled his eyes, "Shes still alive.  I don't imagine she would want to clone herself for any reason."  He looked to Lupe.  "Just think back a little:  Who was the person the Hellfurions killed that was apart of the Vektran Army, but defected?"

[Kursed]

"I wouldn't know MArcus I just caught  up to you."

[Guest Para Astaroth]

"Hmmm..."  He said under his breath, then looked over to the APC's doors.  "Then I do believe you must have realised we are missing a teammate."  He said as a bump rocked the APC a bit.

[Kursed]

"No not really."Lupe replied.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Marcus looked down at the floor of the APC as it hit over another bump.  "Remember Regul?"

[Kursed]

"Oh yes I thought she  was still on the aurora."Lupe replied.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Para quickly jumped into the gunner seat and banged onto the top of the APC, "Already on it!"

"To be honest...  I think you're right.  She has been acting a little different."  Marcus said, looking briefly over at Krystal.  "But that could be due to this war affecting her well-being."

"What did you find?"  Marcus curriously asked, stepping onto the APC's steps and holding out his hand to Lupe.

Para banged on the APC again to Todd, "WE'RE ALL IN!!!  TALLY-HO!!!"

Todd nodded.  "Great job, Para, thanks" he said, grateful that someone besides him would take the APC gun turret.  Todd started the engine, and drove everyone in the APC to their destination.

"Hmmm..."  He said under his breath, then looked over to the APC's doors.  "Then I do believe you must have realised we are missing a teammate."  He said as a bump rocked the APC a bit.

"Oops, sorry about that..." Todd said to his teammates, regarding the bump the APC had driven over.  They were now halfway to their destination: The Capital, Vektra City....

*meanwhile*

General Belial (f.k.a. General Stuart Adams) paced in his quarters, nervously.  He was on his secure phone line....

"....what the hell do you mean you 'lost him'!?  Where the hell is he!?  How did this happen!?  You only sent a dozen soldiers and an APC!?  Gone!?  Well, track it, you idiots....I see...'tracker was disabled'....you better find that meddlesome Fox,  and his little friends....I don't care!  Do it!!!".

General Belial hung up the phone.

He stared out the window of the capital city of Vektra.  "Where are you Todd?  What're you doing?  What do you have planned?" he said quietly...

He reached for his assault rifle.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

(By the way, Todd, I forgot to mention to you that the planet our FC's are on is named "Hellfure."  "Vektra" is the Vektran, or in Killzone terms the ISA, homeworld.)

Para whirled around the turret as he kept watch on the terrain outside.  He whipped it around, thinking he saw something that seemed like the sihlouette of a drone, and squented his eyes.  He placed his hand to this headpiece, "TODD, WE MAY NOT BE ALONE!"

*Inside the APC*

Marcus shook his head dispotently, "No...  She's dead, Lupe.  Executed by one of Radic's men."  He hung his head as he clasped his hands in front of him.  "...That's another comrade I had witness in death..."

*********************************

As the day wore on and Scholar Razari sat in his chair with his head propped onto his hand and two fingers tapping against the side of his head near his temple, he looked outside the enormous window behind his throne at the vast city and the terrain that surrounded the city.  Soon, the two large doors leading to his throne room moaned open and a soldier ran in, then up the stares, and stopped behind the Scholar saluting.  "SIR,"  He said abruptly with a calm tone to his voice.  "The APC that was previously hijacked is enroute to the city."

"Rally your men, soldier.  Prepare them for their last moments of their honorable lives...  As I do believe it will be our final and valliant stand to uphold our homeworld."  Razari rose from his chair and walked slowly along with enormous window in front of him as his weary old face stared down at the structures dwarfed by the tower.  "What is the status of Colonel Radic?  Has he made progress on his efforts to contain the Vektran Army?"

"Uhmm...  No, sir."  The soldier stumbled out, lowering his arm slightly.  "He was...  Killed...  By the few enemies we captured--"

"AND...  How many...  were there...?"  Razari abruptly cut in, disappointment disguised in his voice.  The soldier was sweating inside his helmet as his breathing became more errect.

"Err...F-Five... S-s-s-sir...!"  Razari, stopping in his place, hung his head and looked around to the soldier.

"I feared such an event would come to this greevious time."  He looked back to the city below him, "If you are overwelmed by terrminous odds, surrender will NOT be your alternative; you are enclined to release your soul of it's containment by the blade of your bayonet, or the glistening barrel of your standard issued weaponry."  He looked, then, towards the wearing sky and his hands went behind his back in a military general stature.  "I...  Will NOT...  See any of my sons...  Bowing and kneeling to the enemy in their putred entanglements."

The soldier firmly saluted, "Consider it done, SIR!!!"  He then turned and ran out of the throne room as the doors moaned shut, echoing throughout the room.  Razari then walked slowly to his chair and sat in it, resuming his original posture. 

"I can only bear the moment and witness my last living hours as I sense the overwelming sensations of death that will soon be stricken upon my very life..."

[Kursed]

(I saw the end scene whose going to kill him and whose going to be yelling for him to not shoot?) "So Krystal is going to revive Regul because although she betrayed us she was betrayed?"Lupe asked.

"I fear it will not be very easy to get to the palace this will be the final battle so expect them to throw everything at us."Krystal muttered.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Marcus shrugged, "Sounds a bit like reverse psychology, if you ask me."  He then looked over to Krystal and nodded.  He then patted Tala on the shoulder, "You ready, kid?"

(Yeah, but you will see who it will be in the end who shoots him.  *HINT HINT*  Someone we might have forgotten about.)

[Kursed]

Marcus shrugged, "Sounds a bit like reverse psychology, if you ask me."  He then looked over to Krystal and nodded.  He then patted Tala on the shoulder, "You ready, kid?"

(Yeah, but you will see who it will be in the end who shoots him.  *HINT HINT*  Someone we might have forgotten about.)

(ok.)"Ready as i'll ever be."Tala replied grabbing her rail sniper.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

(By the way, Todd, I forgot to mention to you that the planet our FC's are on is named "Hellfure."  "Vektra" is the Vektran, or in Killzone terms the ISA, homeworld.)

Para whirled around the turret as he kept watch on the terrain outside.  He whipped it around, thinking he saw something that seemed like the sihlouette of a drone, and squented his eyes.  He placed his hand to this headpiece, "TODD, WE MAY NOT BE ALONE!"

*********************************

(Oh, we're on Planet Hellfure?  My bad! )

"Really?  You see something?  I wouldn't be surprised that you said that, seeing as we're about three fourths of the way to our destination." Todd asked in response to Para's message.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

(Its all good, man.  Just follow along with the story; thats all I'm worried about)

"Hmmm, I never realised that."  Para chimed back and whirled the turret back around, facing the APC's movement path.

***********************

As the APC was approaching the capital, troops were stationed about the ten foot barriers and waited calmly with their rifles pointed out into the vast emptiness, as the APC approached.  Drones were scouting the area as the one Para noticed zipped over the APC and disappeared back into the capital.  Snipers were perched in guard towers while barricaded with cement cover and transports waited behind the wall for the APC to come through so they could chew through it's armor and take out the enemies inside.

"Hold you ground, men..."  The general of the whole entire army said over all of their comms and looked down the rows of the prepared troopmen.  "As soon as you seen the APC clear enough, open fire and give your valiant lives their final moments."

[Kursed]

Krystal took a deep breath preparing for the battle soon to come she could easily sense coming.

Tala loaded her rifle.

Lupe grabbed her assault rifle then made sure her sheild was working.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

(I think I remember who shot him  )

"What should I do, Para?" Todd asked from the driver seat.  Todd could see that they were near the capital now, but he feared that the enemies were waiting for them.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

(It was Rico But I will not make a character named similar to Rico in this RP; I have enough as it is, and its hard to come up with validable names, like "Regul" being "Luger", "Ves" being "Sev", and "Teplar" being "Templar.")

Para waited for a moment until he saw the barricade in full view and ducked back into the APC.  "Guys, get your gear together and be ready for ANYTHING!"  Para ordered, looking about the passengers and the driver.  "Todd," he began, whirling around to him and peering next to Todd.  "Whenever I give the word, I want you to unbuckle yourself from that seat and jump back here as QUICKLY as you can."  He looked over his shoulder to the people getting ready, "We're going to ram this machine through the barricade's wall!"

*********************************

As the APC began visible in the distance, the Hellfurion and Helghast troops lowered more and pressed their rifles closer to their shoulders, looking down their sights.  "Steady....  Steady.....  Wait on my mark...!"  The general spoke throughout the comms and rose his hand to the air.  Some of the soldiers looked over their shoulders at their commanding officer with his hand raised and waited for it to quickly lower, following the roaring command. 

Snipers were feeding information to one another as the APC advanced more and more ground towards the wall.

Then men aboard the transports' mounted turrets pulled the levers of their guns, causing a unison of gun-cocks, and they braced themselves.

[Kursed]

"Their preparing to fire how much armor does this thing have?"KRystal asked

LupeTurned on her shield as she cocked the bolt of her gun.

Tala cocked her sniper rifle then prepped her sheidl.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

(It was Rico But I will not make a character named similar to Rico in this RP; I have enough as it is, and its hard to come up with validable names, like "Regul" being "Luger", "Ves" being "Sev", and "Teplar" being "Templar.")

(Ahh, yes, of course it was Rico.... Nice job with the anagrams, except for Templar, but that's still a nice touch. )

Todd had his hand on his safety belt buckle, ready to unstrap himself and jump to the back like Para had told him to do.

"Now yer talkin'!" he said to Para with a grin.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

"Should be enough to withstand four RPG rounds."  Para replied back to whomever spoke to him.  He glanced up and soon saw the flash-hiders of all the troops and Para dove backwards, "TODD:  NOW!!!"

Upon hearing Para's order, Marcus braced himself as the APC roared through the terrain.

[Kursed]

Krystal lupe and tala braced for the impact that was soon to come.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Todd did what he was told, he unstrapped himself and rolled out  of the seat, in a "tuck-drop-roll" safety procedure to avoid any injury to himself.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Para spun around, bracing himself as his body faced the crew in the back, and the APC was soon slammed with gunfire and RPG's, but roared through the terrain.  Soon, the entire APC violently shook as it burst through the wall of the Hellfurion capital, and the Hellfurion transports started opening fire upon the APC.  It continued to roll, running at half speed, as the APC bursted into smoke and continued roaring down the street, knocking transports out of it's way as the crew inside swayed due to the collisions of other vehicles.

"STOP IT!!!"  The general yelled to his men.  "BLOW IT TO KINGDOME-COME, IF YOU MUST!!!  DEMOLITIONSTS!!!  FIRE!!!"  At his command, the RPG'men fired their rockets, seven in all, and they soon were whistling through the air as two struck the road to the sides of the APC and three exploding into the APC's side and rear-fender, catipulting it and kartwheeling down the road.  Finally, after four successful kartwheels, the APC slammed into a building, sending debris and glass flying everywhere and the APC's engine shutting off as it skidding into the next wall.

As the debris and explosions grew quiet, the back door was kicked out and Marcus, and Para, bloody from the head and cuts all about their bodies, stumbled out of the APC and collapsed onto their knees.  Marcus caught himself on the manager's desk, head hung over and gasping for air as a blood stain matted the side of his lip; Para was on his knees as he coughed up blood, then spat a simmer to the side as he turned onto his rear and held his shoulder.  "ARGH!!!  EVERYONE ALRIGHT?!?!?"  He called through his pain. 

"ALL GOOD!"  Marcus called back, still wheezing and gasping; his coat and shirt ripped apart from his body and his pants torn.

[Kursed]

"anybody get the number of that rocket?"Lupe asked she was fine thansk to being strapped into a seat but had slammed her head on the back of it.

Tala growled aiming her sniper outside somehow she hadn't gotten injured. "I hate Carnival rides." She muttered.

"Tala mind getting off of me?"KRystal asked  the blue vixen was now a blue  rug carpet alive ,but all dirty from everyone's blood and dirt from their shoes.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Marcus looked up slightly, "That's good..."

Para nodded, getting up, coughing a little and stumbling a little as he placed a hand to the top side of the APC; catching his breath.  "Gods of Corneria, that was...  One heck of a ride...!"  He looked down at his arm communicator, but the glass over it was shatter and the screen was busted.  He shook his arm, but it never turned on and he only growled to himself as he walked to the front of the APC and knelt over; his adrenaline kicking in.

Marcus took a big breath and sighed to himself and checked inside the APC, reaching in, "Anyone need a helping hand out?"

[Kursed]

"Lupe..." Krystal and Tala said pointing to the grey wolf  strapped into the seat.

"but Daddy I don't wanna go to  the Hanger.."the dazed grey she-wolf muttered.
