The Precrest Arena

[Naval]

  Little watched this and clapped his small claws with a girlish giggle. “Ooh, go on , go on!” He said thinking this was like some type of play and he was happy to watch this. As his eyes twitched when he noticed the kitty lady drawing close to him. And gave a gently wave , floating over to her. As this metal box surly was a sight to see, and the fact that the warrior was spooked was just gut busting funny to him. As he rolled around in the air giggling and holding his belly. Trying to relax and clam down. “A metal box that talks, who would have thought.” He said while licking his eyeballs.

Alan observed in awe, as he saw the wolf suddenly flee.

"What? Why in the bloody lord's name is everybody running away from me!? Do I stink or something!?"

At least the strange, black, knight figures haven't ran away... He thought to himself, as he turned his turret back around...


But, the two elements seem to have slyly used to time that he wasn't paying attention to their fullest advantage, and were suddenly right up against his flanks, with their strange, sharp, items pointing straight towards his hull.

They must've been some sort of new, lightweight, hand-held shaped-warhead all along.

Alan was instantly mortified, and almost screamed, as one of the units made a swinging motion with the charge towards his hull.

However, the object didn't explode. It just... Harmlessly bounced off of his hull, with the elements looking just as confused as he was himself...


"Eeerhm, allright?" Allan stuttered.

"Wanna see a magic trick, then!?"


The tank reversed about 10 meters away from the formations, before triggering his smoke charges.

The launchers made loud pangs as they each hurled their charges towards the elements, in a tame arc, before the charges hit the ground, and a thick, white, cloud of dense smoke began blowing out, enveloping the elements....

[Hunter568]

As Hunter was running, he kept glancing back towards the beast, reassuring himself that he wasn't being followed, so he watched in increasing panic as it discharged some kind of strange projectiles which exploded, enveloping the entire arena floor in a coat of fog.


"Oh Gods!" Hunter cried. "Now I won't even see his approach when he comes to devour me!" At this point Hunter was in full hysterics. He began swinging wildly around him with his battle axe, cutting swathes through the fog, hoping that anyone who came to kill him would be cut down before they could get at him.


In all his years of battle, Hunter had never felt more disoriented or terrified than he did at this moment.

Zila saw the small dragon thing float around and approach her, appearing all the more strange to her. Then she heard a weird noise from somewhere, but when she turned to look, she saw a smoke curtain appearing. She closed her eyes to prevent getting smoke in her eyes. "Ack!" Her shriek escaped her before she even noticed. The cheetah could still clearly hear one of the lunatics off in the distance, but she could only hope no-one ran into her right now. Carefully trying to keep one of her eyes open, she just remained put until the fog lifted.

[Hunter568]

Eventually Hunter tired himself out swinging his axe. He had to stop and breathe for a few moments.


Drawing deep breaths, in and out, in and out, he slowly calmed himself down from his earlier panic. "Alright, I've got to get my bearings in this god-forsaken fog," he said to himself. He tucked his axe back into its holder on his belt. He began to stumble forward again, slowly, with his right hand in front of him.


Eventually his palm felt the smooth surface of the arena wall, and he began traveling along it, listening intently for noises from the others, especially from the terrifying beast of metal. He kept his shield raised in his left hand, hoping to absorb any blows from a surprise attacker in the fog.

[Brisky]

Spoiler for Hidden:

Holy hell, people, it's just a simple withdrawal covering smokescreen, it doesn't cover a BVR-wide area with inpenetrable fog...
Imagine it as 4 standard smoke grenades being launched in a 90 degrees spread, resulting in a cloud of smoke that's just big enough to cover the vehicle from merely one streak. Not an entire area!

[Rayleonarde]

The spearmen, taken aback by the strange attack, swiftly redoubled their efforts and charged the tank in a pincer formation, utilizing the noise of the vehicles engine and the cover of the smoke pots.

[Hunter568]

As Hunter moved along the wall, he realized that the fog produced by the behemoth was much smaller than it appeared at first. He had simply been overwhelmed by it because he was still close to the metal monster when it started discharging the mist. As he came out of the fog, he spotted the female cheetah he had attempted to chase down earlier, and a small, flying dragon-like beast standing together further along the wall.


He decided he needed to forge a temporary pact with them if possible, as there was no other way to take down the behemoth. Even together, he saw very little chance that they would succeed. But this was there only chance.


"Stand down!" He shouted, running towards them. "I come in peace!" He yelled, shifting his shield over onto his back and sticking his paws in the air, trying to show that he bore them no ill will.

[Naval]

  Little watched the metal box poof into smoke, as he clapped his claws excited to see the show. But then it hit him that perhaps a manchine like this was made by gnomes or maybe even goblin tinkers. But in ether case it was impressive, however the sound and cries of the warrior was confusing. “Wait...warrior, what are you doing? Your ruining the show.. your supposed to fight the metal box. Wait.. we’re am I?” He said not being aggressive and rubbing his chin as he then has his horn glow and poof some candy into his claws as he snacks away. And glances back at the Kitty lady to offer some to her, while gazing at the metal box.

[Michen_S]

The cheetah opened her eyes, noticing the fog didn't surround her. It appeared she might've had overestimated her opponents. Apparently even a box of living armour had it's limits. Even then, she was much closer to the steam cloud than she'd like.

When the cheetah heard the dragon talk close to her, she turned her head. She expected they could be allies, but... It really didn't know the situation everyone was in? When the dragon offered her some sweets, she didn't quite know how to react. She hesitated for a moment, then spoke to the dragon whilst accepting one sweet of them. "Thanks, I guess?" Her uncertainty could be heard in her voice. Then she looked back to the fighting scene, making sure nobody was after her yet.

[Brisky]

Alan kept reversing, as he saw the wolf run away.

For a moment, he was worried, as he ran straight towards what appeared to be the cheeta, paired up with another civilian, with, what he could now see was, a battle axe.

But, after he had observed that the wolf didn't seem to have any quarrel with his fellow mammal, and her company, he turned his attention to the element that he had just caught in his smoke.


Alan expected that the men hadn't moved much, from the lack of visibility, or at utmost tried to move outwards, away from the cloud of smoke.

Thus, to spicen things up a little bit more, he accelerated, and sprinted straight trough the smoke, before braking down, at a safe distance from the cloud, and letting himself slip around to have his hull pointing towards the elements again, while he quitly waited for the men to appear from out of the smoke...

[Hunter568]

Hunter approached the small dragon and the cheetah, hands still above his head.


"I wish to parley with you!" He called. He removed his great helm so they could see his face.


"We must all band together if we are to defeat that metal behemoth. Please, we must go quickly, and strike while it is focusing on the soldiers!" He pleaded.

[Michen_S]

The cheetah looked at the wolf, with a slightly worried and panicked look on her face. "Fight that thing? With what?" To calm herself, she put a piece of candy in the mouth. Of course it didn't work very well. "I only have pieces of candy as weapon!" she said, talking with the piece of candy in her mouth and her arms spread. She knew she was wide open right now, but the wolf had a pretty heavy weapon so she might have a shot with her speed.

[Hunter568]

"You really have no weapons?" Hunter asked in dismay. "Ugh...it matters not. My own steel barely scratched it. Your teeth and claws will likely be just as effective."


He watched as the monster faced down the fog cloud he had left behind, likely preparing to mow down the contingents of spearmen when they emerged.


Hunter layed out his plan. "Our only chance, as I see it, is to hope those soldiers expose some kind of weakness in its metal coat during their skirmish. Then, just as its finishing them off, we can strike it where it is vulnerable with everything we have."


He then turned to the small dragonlike creature. "Unless, of course, you have some kind of deadly weapon hidden away," he said doubtfully.

[Rayleonarde]

The spearmen had split up again, now into four groups of five. In a group wedge formation, the spearmen charged the tank spreading wider across the arena, pressing what they assumed was their advantage.
