Endgame Earth

[Cifero Windtail]

Warren stopped, knelt down and rammed his sword into the fuel tank under an abandoned car. "Excelant" he thought to himself as an amber liquid started to leak out and spill over the road. He then set fire to his fuel-drenched sword with the lighter and ran towards the group of consumers that had swarmed the other furs as he waved the flaming sword in the darkening sky. He wasn't sure if this would attract the consumers or not so he could lure then into his trap. He sliced one up anyway and noticed someone also slicing up the consumers.


"follow me!" He yelled at the katana wielding fur in the midst of the fight and held his sword in the air once more as he ran towards the spilt fuel. If he could get the consumers to follow him, he could ignite the spilt fuel around the consumers and have the consumers burn to death.

(Techniaclly speaking, tomahawk-and-katana wielding... but ok)


Jared looked over at the fox, shrugged, and followed him, continuing to fight.

[NovaAurora]

    Nova was only able to gun down a few before they were at his door, flailing their spiked arms at him, trying to poke through the bars of metal over the rolled-down window. He slashed sideways, nearly decapitating one and sending the others lurching back, then kicked open the door and leaped out, ignoring his own advice of just a moment ago. Now upright, he was able to easily gun down those in his immediate vicinity, but they were quickly replaced. In an effort to conserve ammunition for more critical times, he backed himself up against the humvee and dared them to challenge the sharp end of his blade. As they encircled him, he noticed a fiery glow out of the corner of his eye. There was no time to look though, as a particularly brave consumer lurched towards him with both arms. Sidestepping quickly, he cut them both off and wheeled around to slash another one across his neck, sending both of them sprawling into the metal siding of his vehicle.
   
    Three now charged him at once from different angles, so he approached the middle one, impaling it on his blade as he ducked down to avoid the slashes of the other two. Quickly he removed his weapon from the dying body and whipped around 180 degrees to fend off the others, successfully slashing each leg of one and sending it crumpling to the ground but missing the other entirely. Failing to recover quick enough, Nova found himself exposed on his left side for just a brief moment, but long enough for his adversary to deliver a diving stabbing blow to his shoulder. Nova rotated swiftly as to make it but a glancing slice before severing the consumer's spine with his gunblade, but it left a bleeding gash at least 3 inches long in his upper arm. Wincing in pain but fueled on by the heat of battle, he jumped in one swift motion onto the roof of his humvee, away from immediate potential threat. "Come on!" he howled at the top of his lungs, "Somebody help think of something!"

Ip jumped into the jeep, slamming the door behind him he turned the ignition key. The engine whined and wouldn't start "I hate you" he said whilst looking around frantically to see where the consumers were coming from. In front of him he saw consumers flooding in and around the vehicles of the others. Within a few seconds he looked behind him to see another storm of consumers quickly coming his way. He turned the key even more quickly and violently as he attempted to start the engine but then to Ip's relief the engine started. Ip twisted the wheel and the Jeep screeching around. The consumers were only a few metres away now as Ip went into first gear and crushing the acceleration pedal causing the Jeep to lurch forward towards its prey.

Ip was laughing with joy at the success of the engine start, but this would be short lived. As soon as the Jeep was about to hit the pack of consumers, they jumped at the front of the car. A consumer held on to car smashing into the window on the drivers side attacking Ip. Ip let go if one hand to try to reach his weapon, with the consumer waving its arm around scratching up Ip's side. Ip yelling in pain now as the consumer dug into the side of his torso, he lost control of the jeep as it hit the cluster of consumers, the car skidding on its side. Consumers stuck to the side and the the jeep fell to its side coming to a halt. Ip held on tightly, the consumer attacking him was then crushed by the weight of the car. The jeep rested only a few more metres closer to the rest of convoy. The rest of the surviving consumers started to hit the side of the jeep, trying to find a way to get in. Ip bleeding at his side picked up his weapon and pointed it at the other passenger window, waiting.

[MrRazot]

Warren tried to get as many consumers to come towards him as possible. His Sword however was starting to heat up and would probably burn him if he didn't hurry with his plan. The fight had moved back towards the fuel spill and the humvee had even driven over it. Warren could light the fuel and burn the consumers, hough the car would burn too. He realised the car would however be relatively safe and so warren lit his lighter and threw it into the fuel and jumped away.

[NovaAurora]

    Standing on the roof of his humvee, Nova discouraged the consumers from assaulting his superior position. They would leap at him, only to find themselves defenseless against his blade as they attempted to flail and slash like insects in a spider web. Once, three more decided to attack simultaneously so Nova jumped vertically high into the air, sending the three smacking into each other and bouncing off the roof. Nova landed on the slippery, blood soaked vehicle and waited for further assault, but at that moment the night was lit up by a sudden flash of light from the rear of the convoy. He turned in astonishment to see that the road was on fire, drawing some of the consumers' attention away for at least the moment. Through the radio and the air he called out, "What the hell just happened back there?! Himawari? Ip? Jared? Was that one of you?!"

[MrRazot]

Warren's fur singed at the flame. The Humvee however was luckily not as drenched in flame as other areas. It could almost have been considered miraculous. Though the driver probably had 3 minutes before anything bad really happens.

[Ventus Fall]

Himawari was stunned to see everything that was taking place, she had no time to react to anything after she messaged Nova over the radio only mere seconds ago.
Or was it minutes? she thought to herself.

She felt weak in her muscles and she coudn't concentrate, but Himawari had a plan and set her vehicle in the right gear and charged the pack of consumers surrounding Nova's vehicle. She did so with speed and power, but stayed in the outer rim of the pack. Slowly working inward, circling the condensed pack, driving over the ones just outside of the pack, making it slowly smaller and smaller. Going further and further, killing more of the consumers each time she circled around, she felt more and more lightheaded.
Once she was almost done, Himawari blacked out and her car slowly drove on, but with no driver to stee or stop the car.

[Cifero Windtail]

Warren's fur singed at the flame. The Humvee however was luckily not as drenched in flame as other areas. It could almost have been considered miraculous. Though the driver probably had 3 minutes before anything bad really happens.

Jared quickly ducked out of the way of the initial blast, then headed back toward the car. "Is everyone alright?" he yelled toward its inhabitants.

[Takamei Edevane]

Ip still in the seat, laid next to the broken window with the radio still tuned into the resistances channel. In the corner his eye he saw two other resistance members scurry out of the door of the jeep that lay on its side. Small flames surrounded the opening, and yelling outside. Ip held the side of his torso, and held his weapon with the other. "Urgh" he looked down at the wounds that he revealed as he moved his paw slightly. He stood up in the sideways jeep, and looked up at the door. "Oh for crying out loud..." he said to himself quietly. He strapped his weapon to himself, and grabbed the doorway. He pulled with great force, but inflicted pain in doing so. Ip pulled himself out of the side if the jeep, breathing heavily whilst holding his wounds once again. He grabbed his weapon and jumped off of the jeep that was lightly on fire. He landed on the ground roughly, and swore under his breath as he landed with pain. Surrounded by scattered consumers, their flesh burning in the fire he started to shoot in all directions as he made his way over to the others. "Hey!"

[Luke White-Heart]

Luke was in a haze. The battle didn't seem real to him, and time seemed to have halted. He had made sure to store the file away in his pack before anything could happen to it, but then he couldn't really remember anything. He defended himself, but the battle held no pleasure, no thrill like it usually did for him. Luke's sword swung through the air, his pistols flashed, but he was not fighting. Soon, he started to let blows through. He knew he was going to die, but part of him did not care.

[FurryJunky]

All around her was choas. The consumers where clawing and jabbing at the windows as they saw other inside, making the inside echo with scraping of steel and the pounding and cracking of glass. After setting the girl safly in the middle she kept her handgun in hand. Just as she was sure the vehicle would hold against them a loud shatterd  broke the rythmic thudding against the armored humvee. Quickly darting her eyes to the back window the consumers have broken through, puling the bars away as they slowly began to crawl inside. Raising her handgun to the first three three quick shots where fired, haulting there progress and making way for more. "Nova! They are inside!!"

[NovaAurora]

    Nova watched in horror as the chaos unfolded around him. Perched on top of the humvee he was safe enough, but the inferno on the pavement was growing and had engulfed Ip's car. He heard no response from anybody over the radio, and could only hope they were too engaged in the fight to respond. Katelyn's cries reached his ears, and swinging wildly at the bunch of consumers still left around his humvee, he noticed that Ip's car was not the only one that had moved- Himawari had managed quite the feat of crowd control herself, but now was driving off... away from the fight? A chilling thought occurred to Nova, on top of the need to save his own vehicle from being overrun. "Her condition..." he thought. "There's no way she's remained unaffected through all this!" With an effort he dismounted the car, sliced down as many consumers in the immediate vicinity of his humvee as he could, and sprinted off after Himawari's vehicle. "I'm sorry Katelyn, I'll be back as soon as I can!" He didn't have time to stand and fight, so he merely shot dead any foe that came near him and ignored the rest. "Himawari!" He shouted desperately over the radio. "Himawari, please come in!" He didn't expect a response, and he didn't get one. He watched helplessly as her car lazily drifted off the road and crunched to a stop against some rocks. He reached the scene of the crash and looked behind him. The last of the particularly ambitious monsters had run after him, and with a growl of anger Nova reloaded his gunblade and aimed at his crazed opponents.


     One, two, three, four, five... he dropped them all with adrenaline-fuled efficiency. Back on the road, the fire had spread and the horde was considerably diminished. The ground now was covered with blood and corpses, many of which were blackened and singed by the blaze. He wondered what could have possessed them to run at it, as a significant portion had simply fled from the murderous heat and were now nowhere to be seen. He saw what he thought looked like several figures standing safely away from Ip's burning Jeep, and prayed that they were indeed his comrades and not triumphant consumers. Elsewhere the mangled bodies of those run over by various vehicles lay deformed and in some cases still twitching, but posing no threat. The few that still stood would surely be picked off by Katelyn, Luke, Jared and the others, at least he hoped so. Now his attention turned back to Himawari- he flung her door open and gasped as he saw her pale, listless body draped over the dashboard. "Shit! Please be ok!" he hissed as he pried her from the seat and laid her gently on the ground. The sounds of the carnage were no further away, but they seemed faint to Nova. All his attention now was on trying to bring Himawari back. "Come on," he said, looking down at the pained expression on her unconscious face. "They're almost all gone now, please wake up..."

[Ventus Fall]

Himawari slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes, which wee extremly bloodshot, but couldn't see a thing. She could beging to feel the something large and fluffy holding her. This gave her the feeling she was safe.
Slowly sounds from all around came to her, only now did she notice she couldn't hear before. And the noises flooded in, overwhelming her. Himawari closed her eyes again, agitated, trying to block out the sounds of fire, screams and... someone was talking to her.
She opened her eyes again and could make out various shapes. Somewhere far away was a bright, red and orange shape. She focused on it, what seemed like ages, and finally it sharpened. It was a fire.
Himawari sat upright and rubbed in her eyes, knacked her hands.
All the senses could recieve the surroundings well again and she turned her head a bit to see Nova.

"Nova?" She looked distraught. "What are you doing here? What happened?"
Himawari looked at herself, then at her car.
"I remembered my plan to help you all, but..." Her eyes widened. "Don't tell me I ran over one of you?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Jared walked over, his tomahawk in one hand with Luke's arm slung over his right shoulder. "No one on our side got hit," he said. "Only Consumers." Handing Luke over to Nova, he walked over to Katelyn's vehicle and dispatched the remaining few Consumers with a few tomahawk blows before opening the door. "Thank you for protecting her," he said to Katelyn, gently taking up the girl in his arms along with her weapons. "I hope you're alright." He turned towards the wreckage, away from the others, and gently walked forward.




They never saw the tears as he glanced at some of the enemies.

[Byracka]

Sarah held her two handguns, Poison and Ivy in a firm grip. During the initial chaos she disposed on two consumers, still vivid in her mind was the screechs of the first as the bullets slashed through loose meat and putrid flesh. The second one was running blindly and engulfed in flames, she simply put an end to it's misery. But the fight wasn't over, Novas car laid by the side of the road, swarming with consumers.

She gasped a faint "no" and rushed towards it. The screeches got louder and when she was close enough she halted, stood balanced with bent legs and fired at those closest to the window. The consumer closest to the window of Novas car flinched and dropped to the ground. Seven bullets were fired when the all to familiar, click click, was heard. (Damn it I forgot to reload) she reached for an extra clip but two consumers were already unto her. Sarahs whole body was tense, like a rusty clockwork, precise but creaky, she reloaded Ivy and shot one of the consumers dead between its empty eyes. She missed the second.

Sarah screamed as the consumer took a hold of her. Pulsating meaty limbs, sharp teeths, a mouth that seemed endlessly dark. She had been forcefully held like this before in her life. She had promised herself never to be held like this again! Her knees trembled but found strenght, shoving the consumer to the ground with a roar and then taking its miserable life with Ivy.

"Gasp" she couldn't believe what happend. No, this was not the time for reflection, people were still in danger. Sarah reloaded her guns, this time being able to take out the last consumers still scratching at Nova's vehicle. She ran towards it yelling "Is everyone okay?"
