Our Plagued Reality: Us and Them

[Entaru]

Entaru smiled as the child latched onto his tail.  He whispered in his softest voice.  "Don't worry my sweet wenig Mond...Entaru's here to protect you." Entaru pet Moon's head gently.

Soria rolled as she jumped into the first floor window and backed up against a dead body. She grabbed the five-seven laying next to the man and fired off the last 3 shots into the ceiling, trying to guess where the other guy was and threw the gun away, drawing her 98 again. Soria slowly got up and cautiously looked around, carefully aiming her 98 with two hands and holding her kabar upside down between her left hand and the 98, in case she had to go CQC. Knowing her opponent as another espionage agent, he'll probably be doing the same. Each step she took, she made it as quiet as possible and waited for movement.

He got about half way until the enemy flew right on past him... for one thing, it was a she... eastern, maybe Asian, but he couldn't tell with such a quick glance... her equipment set was much like his, or from what it looked like. though, she was made for sniper missions (obvious by the sniper rifle she fired at the chopper!), he was Black Op's and was built for close combat... and it was time to end game. under her cover of her rushed actions, he went for a different window as he swapped out his pistol for his MP5, replacing the knife with a Primed Flash bang, controlling his breathing (To aim better.) and hiding... he couldn't take advantage of her gun going click, or throwing it away, but he definitely had a side she wasn't looking at... He wasnt stupid enough to have the idea to go up and have a knife fight or such. Snipers where trained to use their EARS very well, and he'd make noise coming though the window and on the wood so... as soon as things went quiet, He popped right on out, MP5 aimed down the sights with his flash bang held, using his closed palm for holding it steady (MP5's have very little kick.) on a full automatic. if she tried ANYTHING at all, she'd get shot with enough lead to drop her... not to forget he held a live flash bang he could easily throw at a moments notice... and that he was far enough she couldn't just rush him without eating his bullets. "Freeze! Hands up, and drop the weapons, or your going to die blind sighted!"
He definitely got detailing now... a black cat. the signal of unlucky... fitting she was a sniper. "...Whats the Constellation doing here...?...Did they drop that nuke...?!?...her face seems very familiar..."

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro was noncholantly strolling down the busted corridors and blown out walls of a school, when he heard the gunfire in the direction he was moving. He ran the statistics through his head.
He scanned the area ahead of him, not quite fully soldier mode, but cautious. He noted a large chuch belltower that was standing defiantly in the wreckage. He scurried over and went up the blown apart steps into the tower.
"Now where did that fire come from..." He said to himself as he pulled out his Dragonov. He spotted a turkey, walking down the street, but other than tha... wait.
"So that is what all that smoke was coming from. A Liberation Helicopter got downed. Gunship... means someone else is here. Jonas maybe?" He got up out of the crouch.
"Well, lets go find out if anyone survived the crash. Seems like there is more heat here, so I gotta be cautious." Shiro didn't mean to monologue to himself, but it was a way to release some stress. He decided to wait there, seeing that he had a good position, and set up shop.
Night was coming on. At least he would be safe for the moment.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Soria continued her quiet surveillance. Damn this guy is a pain. Could it be...? She shook the thought out of her mind when she heard a soft click of a gun. Soria's senses came to high alert and she slowly crept towards the window she came in, though she couldn't tell where he was or where the click was. She gripped the knife between her right fingers and gun and reached for her HE grenade with her left. Soria bit off the pin slowly and held the grenade tight, keeping the release from making a sound and dropped the pin out the window. She lowered the grenade to the window and slowly let the release come off, landing into the sand. She counted the 3 in her head (5 count grenades) and tossed it straight up in front of the window she saw him in and rolled backwards, under one of the desks and waited for the bang.

[Alice The Necrofox]

*BANG!*
Shiro looked around, seeing the flash of an HE grenade nearby. It was dark, but not too dark. He rustled around in his satchel for his Thermal Scope.
Attaching it to the Dragonov, he saw it. Two little splotches of light, and the remnants of a big splotch.
*That is where that grenade came from.*
Shiro saw that he didn't have any sort of shot, so he decided to investigate.
He ran down the steps and moved toward the commotion.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurin recognized the jeep from earlier, and took aim again, knowing he was going to hit the vehicle from this range and it was already stationary. He decided to make the minor damage noticeable, and the major damage somewhat hidden. He aimed his Rail at an angle that would go through the windows, and then into the hood and possibly some permanent engine damage. He took the shot, and it fired true until it got into the hood, and the rather loud noise signified that it didn't punch through the front. Yurin counted to ten in his thoughts, and fired again, only to hear the beep of malfunction. He cursed his Rail before getting out of sight...

[Gabag]

Phil jumped at the sound of shots, surprised that he heard them at all.

"Shouldnt everyone in town have gone crazy by now with your (censored) up bombs...? Whatever I'm gonna kill it" Phil said, climbing out of the jeep and slamming the door shut. He didnt really care about the jeep or Entaru, now it was all about the hunt. Taking out his XM-8, Phil followed where he heard the sound, and began to fire a 3 round burst in that direction. Then he began a full dead on sprint. He could see the sniper slunking away.

"Oh no you don't you little coward... come and fight like a man!" he thought as he opened fire on the running sniper.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurin ran around a house, and pulled out his sub-machine while waiting for the nazi to come into view. The instant he came into view, Yurian opened fire with all thirty rounds of his clip.

[Gabag]

Phil broke into a sprint, using his armored forearm to protect his face as the low caliber SMG rounds merely pinged off his armor.

"Good good, but not good enough my friend" he said aloud as he sized up his new target after dashing behind a fallen tree.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurin saw the soldier make a run behind the tree, and took out his Rail, making a guess as to how the soldier was positioned, and fired. The bullet tore through the entire tree, but only missed the head by a few inches, and the debris flying with the bullet showed the punch behind the bullet. He held the smg in one hand and the Rail in the other, ready to drop one and use the other depending on how the situation turns out. Why do I never bring grenades with me?!

[x]

Tada. Brilliant deduction, Mondenkind. I am Luna, back from the graves of your soul.

Just tell me what's happening here and what you want.

...I'll tell you what's happening here. You're screwed, that's what...doomed really. Moon's connection to Luna was so strong, she could practically feel the mind-haunt smile. And I don't want anything but to be with my bestest-friend-ever.

As if carried much too far by the wind, the faint but present, unintelligible but melodic sound of a male voice floated to Moon's ears through the darkness and she felt something touch her head, a hand.

Who is that? Moon jerked back from her non-identified tail-hug and opened her eyes. This time, her world came into view clearly. The fox, whose fur was as snow white as her own. His dark uniform. The swastika...And the handcuffs that joined her wrist to his.

Entaru Korin. 'The one they call Needles.' Luna quoted with a sarcastically ominous tone. If I remember correctly, you have a justified phobia of anything hospital-like. Guess that makes him your worst nightmare...walking. Let's hope he stays nice like he is now.

Burgandy had been wating outside the door for Entaru when he turned around, and quickly noticed that the door to the armored Jeep was wide open, and Phil was nowhere to be seen. The fox was hesitant about speaking at all, Entaru had seemed quite angry but a few minutes earlier....But this seemed rather urgent. He walked into the living room, taking stock that the girl was in custody and no-one was harmed. Then, with his ears back abjectly, he said: "Umm...Sir, I think Phil ran off somewhere...Maybe we should go and see where he went?"

_____________________________

Atreyu wrapped his arms around his knees and stared out the window of the Humvee as it sped through the dusty streets, keeping his eyes peeled for a flash of white fur that would alert him to Moon's prescence. "When are we going back?" The boy was so nervous, he could feel his skin crawling with invisible ants.

After retracing his steps back to the town center, he had found the pair from earlier, the canine and the feline (they seemed like the most trustworthy and accessible to him), and learned that their names were Chance and Maria. He had warned them about the possibility of an attack via Reich, moments before it was too late, then had begged them for a ride, strategically revealing only what needed to be revealed about his situation. They had hunted down a Humvee, shirts off and pressed to their mouths to keep out the noxious fumes of mercury- or what could be kept out by that megar method -then climbed aboard without hesitation as everything went to Hell around them. Gas masks had been in ready supply in the back of the vehicle, even for the boy, as they didn't know he was immune.

It had been too late to call a full evacuation.

"That boy has good senses, finding us again like that," Chance commented. He looked at Atreyu through the rear-view mirror as he drove. He almost didn't answer him, but that would be too creul. "We're not going back. It's a jungle back there. You wanted us to get you out, so we got you out."

Jumping at this news, Atreyu cried: "Excuse me?"

"Son, it is much too dangerous to go back into that town," Maria growled sternly. "For our own safety, we must leave."

"You cheaters! You lied to me! You can't just leave Moon back there! You don't understand, this is-"

"Moon? I thought her name was Lucy..."

"It is! I mean, what I mean is-"

"Listen," Maria said. "We'll go back for her as soon as we can. In an hour if we're lucky. But right now we have to get to a safe zone, alert who we can. It's too dangerous for us, and it's certainly too dangerous for you to go looking around in that stuff."

"But-"

"No buts," Chance said as they sped around another desolate corner.

"But I know where I left her and everything! She should still be right there!"

"Great, then she'll be easy to find when we come back."

"No!" The two Liberation soldiers froze as the boy's voice rose to a shrill high of conviction. "If we just leave her back there, then she might be gone."

"What do you mean she'll be gone?" In the passenger seat, Maria turned, mentally trying to not get herself into this child's worried frenzy. "Are all the aliens returning to their mother ship or sometihng?"

"I mean they...the Reich...might take her back with them. If they find her."

Seeing as how he was covered in fur, no-one could tell once Chance's skin flushed red. He pressed down harder on the gas pedal, voice rising angrily: "Boy, what in the world are you talking about? I swear to the Gods above if you don't stop being creepy and start talking to us I will boot your jail-bait behind out onto the street!"

[Gabag]

Phil flinched as the tree he was hiding behind... exploded. Splinters of wood rained on him from it being kicked up.

What little was left on the tree was jagged and torn... no way it'd be able to protect him any longer, with his body now fully exposed.

'Well Holy (censored) we got an experimental gun out here' Phil thought as he opened up a burst from his rifle then ran in a zig-zag at the sniper. Before another shot could be fired at him, Phil dove into a ditch hard. Mud caked his once spotless armor suit, and the SMG rounds didn't do much then prick the armor. That was a good sign, it could hold up against live ammunition.

Reaching for his radio.

"Colonel... this is Phil, engaging a sniper with a ....unique... weapon... could use some support... over!" He said, silently thanking luck for making the sniper miss his mark.

[Entaru]

Entaru turned to Burgandy, still a bit angry but calm.  "Fine, but if we don't find him in 15 minutes then he's S.O.L.  This child and her counterpart are priority one and he's a clone.  If we find him, good.  If not, he has brothers."  He knew that Philip would only run off if there was a threat in the area.  That meant that there may be more than one, and Entaru wouldn't take the risk of losing the child just because a clone died.  Sure, they were expensive but she could turn the tide of the war.  

Entaru turned back to Moon with a smile.  "I see the mercury is finally out of your system. Come along wenig Mond, we have a soldier to find.  Once we get back to camp, I'll see if I can find you some sweets...that is, if you behave.  Are you going to behave?"

Before the child could answer, his radio crackled to life.

~Colonel...this is Phil, engaging a sniper with a....unique...weapon...could use some support...over!~

Entaru spoke into his radio.  "Good timing Philip.  We're on our way now.  Over." 

Entaru stood up and looked at Burgandy. "How good are you with heavy weapons, Mr. Burgandy?"  Entaru pointed towards the vehicle, which had a minigun mounted to its roof.

That was a grenade...!!! a VERY bad TYPE of grenade too... And he walked straight into it practically as he watched as the grenade was in flight right towards him... Cue the adrenaline mode, as everything went into slow motion for a second... the first thing that came to mind? roll out of the way, roll out of the way, GET OUT OF THE GRENADES FLIGHT PATH SO ROLL YOU STUPID MORON!
And thats exactly what he did. he went around the corner to the right of the building, easily hearable now, mentally swearing about 10 words a second (S word being prominent.) and rolled right as the explosion happened, covering his head the entire time... holy god that was close... his breathing, as he just made a vital 'life or death' escape, was easily hearable... and the layers of sweat he had (From the nuke) where almost 'brought back to life' with the layer he just felt like he had just gained made him smell. even someone with a sinus problem could pick him out now... at he could have a little hope that people had to LOOK at him to know he had the smell of dry blood on him. fat lotta good that does him... well, last thing he could do was plan b. go in and eliminate the targets. he still had the flash bang in his hands... so not hesitating at all, the endorphins still fresh in time, he threw the flash bang in, waited for the pang and hopped straight over the wall with the slow down, still on that slow down. he'd already brought out his knife and his pistol, because if he tried being far enough to use a gun, another grenade no doubt and he might of not of been able to make the lighting strike twice.. so it was a CQB, in order to subdue... he had it held reverse grip with the pistol straight out... he saw her, and no doubt she smelled/saw him.  "...I see we are a bit of an impasse here... 2nd LT Soria Xing i presume? a VERY wanted stealth operative from the constellation... infamous for having the 'Russian' spirit, despite being Chinese born, and with the talent to back it up... your worth your spot in bingo book... alright, i might have a bit of a solution to our problem. sense its obviously clear when someone pulls the trigger, someone else is going to as well, and we'll both end up dead... so, how about we put the pistols away, and we do this face to face with our knives instead, so at least the ONE of us will be walking out of here? its a win-win ether way." of course, he wanted to go for a subdue option... which means he couldn't kill her... to show her he wasn't trying to throw her a fast one, he lowered his pistol slowly... not fast enough that he couldn't use it if she did fire her gun, but enough that he was making his point.

(Jonnas's comments are reflecting that you said you where wanted a while a go and your personality. will change if that was dumb... the bingo book is a bounty hunting book with faces and descriptions of criminals btw.)
