The Animus

[Gabag]

Felix took up the middle, aiming his gun at the child's general direction, he waited for whatever chasing him to come out.

[KittKat chunky~]

The newly appointed štotnik Kitt looked up at the shouts and bursts of weapons fire... He and the scout group had remained slightly apart from the rest, keeping up a second watch at the perimeter... as Shinzuu shouted Kitt raised his weapon, as did the others in his team.... They krept forward through the undergrowth, silently, they where adjacent to the acolytes now, cutting them off in a textbook pincer movement...

Kitt held one paw up... the scout team's fingers tensed over triggers... and then he let his paw drop, in the direction of the acolytes... Bursts of american semi automatic weaponry tore towards the acolytes, bolstered by the loud bark of Kitt's soviet AK...

Veronica got up without a word and headed towards where she needed to be. Gripping her P-90 with little emotion, she aimed and fired upon the Acolytes that appeared from the brush. "Always interrupted..." She thought to herself, disgruntled. As she got into her position with her team, she looked around at them staring at her. "What are you waiting for? Shoot!" She commanded. The team did as they were told and shot towards the Acolytes, as she did the same.

[White Wolf Guardian]

"Oh man I have been waiting for something to happen for like forever and a half!" *He jumped up doing a flip action with his MAC-10s and running up to support Kitt* "Aye there captain, fire off the bridgeport!" *The wolgon laughed as he shot about 10 bullets into one oncoming Acolyte in less than half a second and aimed his gun upon another one with his eye lined up in the sight*

Seeing this new development, to Gavin, was the equivalent of having his head rammed into a brick wall at a few zillion miles an hour. Everything went still, freeze-frame, and speaking of freeze, a newfound chill rose up through his body and utterly squashed any former confidence he held. His tail fell, deadweight. Do something.... He watched as Felix aimed, as Veronica moved, as the wolgon laughed and shot, as the civillian child ran. Do something... He watched as the child turned into Trisha in his mind's eye. Gavin had never wanted to see her like this, but his heart had other plans in store. That was now Trisha who was about to be killed, would be killed, is being killed....Do something, Gavin...

Gavin broke out of his trance in a hurry. How, why had he been so selfish this whole time? It was stupid of him. He reached for the metal baseball bat on his back, knowing he'd have to go for the hunter's rifle if things got worse......which they probably would knowing the world as it turned.

[Gabag]

Felix fired in bursts to maintain accuracy, hitting a few minions in the upper chest area, but an AcolyteInitiate got too close, so Felix took out his knife.
The Initiate in front of him had a meat cleaver, not a fun thing to have chopped in you.
Felix side stepped an overhead swing and sliced upwards on the Initiate, cutting his face, while the man howled with pain, Felix stabbed him through the heart, kicking him off his knife.
He picked his gun up again and continued to open fire.

[Entaru]

The boy cowered within the group using other civilians as shields.

The remaining Acolytes tore into the group like a scythe.  The innocent were cut down while soldiers were massacred.  The Lieutenant spied Shinzuu and charged him, his ooze-like arm shifting into a blade.  He slashed at him with a diagonal cut in attempt to disarm Shinzuu.  A Sergeant took the confusion as an opportunity to attack the clone.  He rushed Felix, his claws slicing through the air creating a high pitched whistle.  He tore at Felix's legs in a whirlwind of blades.  A Grunt noted Gavin's charge and ran to shield bash him away.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Shinzuu spied the Lieutenant coming his way and fired at a grunt that was about to nail Gavin in the head and quickly pocketed the gun back into his chest holster, drawing his katana. His finely honed blade clashed with the enemy's as he brought up his leg and kicked the Lieutenant in the stomach to push it back. I'm won't make the same mistake as before, treating you like a normal Acolyte. Shinzuuu quickly charged the Lieutenant and drop-kicked him, pushing him further back. He rolled a recovery and brought his sword through in an upward slash.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Veronica continued to shoot at the oncoming attackers. She reloaded when she had to and her hand was a blur when she did so. Seeing the Lieutenant charging at Shinzuu, she made sure that she would continue to look over there in case Shinzuu needed help. The Shinzuu she had known before this whole horrible mess had never needed anybody else's help but it seemed that things were getting tougher and tougher for him each day. She knew he was letting things get to him too much, but she also knew that no matter what she said, he probably wouldn't change. Of course, she wasn't quite sure she wanted him to. She was used to the old Shinzuu. If he was ever different it might be odd to her. She couldn't help but grin when she glanced over between shots and saw Shinzuu dropkick the Lieutenant. That's what she was used to. She turned her attention back to the others quickly and continued her shower of bullets.

[Dtannings]

Tori, knowing her pistol would be useless, ran to the hyena boy.
"Don't worry, we'll protect you," she assured him, knealing down. A civilian in hytserics would only worsen things.
Tori kept her hand on her pistol, mostly to reassure herself, as she put her other hand on the boy's shoulder. Catching a glimps of his face, she recognized him as the hyena lad that was torn from his parent back at the refuge. It was amazing that he'd managed to get so far.
What was his name?...Miro?...Mero?...Nero! That was it.
The wolf nodded to him, "Just stay here Nero." Tori stood, drawing her pistol. If any of those things got past the others, she'd shoot it down, or at least she'd try.

[Gabag]

Felix screamed as claw tore into leg and he fell over. Blood seeped from the wounds at a dangerous rate, and now was not the best time to bleed. The blood flow started to cloud his judgment a little, he was losing a lot more then he originally thought. All he wanted to do now was to kill the (censored) that made his blood spill.

He scrambled for his gun and found it, but not before stabbing the Sergeant in the legs to pay him back. Grabbing his gun, he pumped more lead into the Sergeant's legs, making him cry out in pain as his legs were shredded. The traitor fell over, crying out, howling at the pain, as his legs seeped blood.

"THOUGHT THAT HURT YOU (censored), YOU'VE SEEN NOTHING YET" He yelled as he struggled back up, leaning on the wreckage of a car to steady himself.

He took careful aim, and let loose a burst into the Sergeant's face.

[x]

Gavin trembled as he saw the grunt charging at him, then as Shinzuu fired at it......what was it again.......oh, don't bother trying to remember....Hoping the shot was a good enough distraction that he would no longer be nailed in the head by a grunt, he dove to the side, hands tight around his bat. Then he swung, swung, swung, swung...swung, swung at the beast...with all the might he held. Gavin didn't know if it would even work, let alone injure the thing, but it was just a stupid bat and wouldn't be missed if he had to go for his gun.

[KittKat chunky~]

The whole scene had turned into a massed free for all, grunts charged about the place, tearing into what civilians where left, or pouncing on unsupported soldiers.... Kitt and his scout team fell back and spread out, all the while firing off burst shots into the crowd of acolyte minions...
"Do Riti! TO the left!"
One of the scout team turned to his left, saw the rushing minion, pulled the trigger... but all to late... even as the grunt was torn apart by return fire the soldier beneath him was already dead....

[Dtannings]

One of the grunts charged at Tori and Nero. Instinctively she pulled the trigger. The jar in her arm wasn't as much as she'd expected from what she'd heard, but then again, handling staple guns probably was about the same.
As she fired again and again, a moment's thought of how many bullets the gun had crossed her mind, just as the 6th shot pierced the creature.
Tori's heart sank lower and lower with every 'click' the pistol sang.
Once again acting on instinct, she cried out, "HELP!"

[Entaru]

Tori's cry was cut short as the Grunt slammed his shield into her chest, knocking her prone.  However, just as the grunt was about to land a killing blow, his head suddenly burst forth with blood as a metal prong stuck out of his left eye.  The Grunt dropped as the prong dislodged itself, showing it to be one of two pickaxes being held by Nero.

"Are you alright?"

The Lieutenant stumbled backward, but regained his balance in time to barely block the slash with his ooze-blade.  The Lieutenant grinned at his opponent from under his hood, and in a sudden swirl of his robes, attempted to disarm Shinzuu with a Butterfly kick against his blade.
