Ashes of Mombassa-RP thread

[D-38 Boss]

"Damn it.... nothing." Scott said dejectedly. he'd been trying to raise someone on the comms for the last hour, with no response.

 

"Ok... come on Scott, you know how to handle this... you were trained for this... now let's see.... the first step after an emergency ejection is... leave the crash site.... ok... done... second is.... Contact allies.... great..."

 

Scott kicked the ground beneath him.

 

"I'm screwed..."

[Mr. Wolfy]

Kyro had continued into the city in the general direction of the engine he had heard and the smoke cloud in the distance. He noticed a large apelike creature coated in armor looking down a street like it had been chasing something but had given up in dejection. The creature carried a large hammer and turned brandishing said hammer while baring its fangs towards the approaching motorcycle. Observing the size of the creature in general and the size of its fangs and the menacing appearance of its hammer, Kyro throttled the bike to ram it into the brute. A few well aimed bullet wizzed past him from the back seat, but the creature stood unfazed as multiple shots thudded into its chest. It raised its hammer to bring it down on them as they got closer but began its swing too late. The bike crashed into the creature and the mongoose-style tires of the bike ground into its leg, collapsing it down in such a way that the bike continued with a lurching motion over its collapsed leg and up onto the creatures face as it fell to the ground. The creature was clearly still alive and ready to fight so Kyro spun the tire a few times on its face causing a smoke cloud as friction was created on the creature's leather-like skin. The creature stopped moving, and assuming it was dead, Kyro climbed off the bike and examined it. The front was entirely crushed and the tire was partially burnt off. Sighing in annoyance, Kyro noticed a warthog a block or so down the street, motioning to the lady who was with him, Kyro indicated towards the hog and motioned to the weapons on the bike in an attempt to communicate the needs for a transfer.

[Lycaoni]

she realised he wanted the weapons moved and picked up the bag. she walked down towards the hog following kyro, glad to be off the cycle. she put the guns in the back and sat in the passanger seat, waiting for kyro to drive.

[Mr. Wolfy]

Kyro was hefting the turret he had saved earlier away from the newly wrecked bike when he heard a metalic sound like a large metal object being lifted. He stopped in his tracks and paused his heavy breathing. The noise occured again. He rolled his eyes in disgust and turning, noticed the brute has risen, pushing the bike off itself. It turned with pure hatred in its one good eye (the other being covered by the newly formed wound in the shape of a tire tread), and bellowed a roar. The creature proceeded to throw the bike towards Kyro, who dodged it. Hefting the turret, Kyro tried to position it towards the brute, but knew if he pulled the trigger he'd go flying from the recoil of this gun unsecured. The creature however turned and began to hobble off quickly for having just been run over. Kyro, who had been down on the ground with the turret, collapsed his head back on the pavement in relief. He then proceeded to drag the turret the rest the way to the warthog, load it in the back, and climbed in the driver seat. The car had been stripped of most of its supplies, but still contained some fuel. He quietly thanked whoever did so in his mind and turned the hog around to make his way to the smoke cloud which was on the other side of a few buildings.

Sounds of vehicles and and gunfire were increasing all around. He came up empty on his search for survivors, but his trail didn't end, as he noticed a closely woven pair of treadmarks on the street. Tracing the black line with his eyes, his gaze finally met the horizon, where a steady stream of smoke was billowing in the distance.

 

"Great..." Having not opted to try to chase down a vehicle, he started his walk to the point if interest, knowing damn well that he would later regret it. "I hate cities..."

[Frankenzer]

Henry looked in amazement as a scarab towered in front of him. Forgetting he was being pursued, he allowed his guard to go down. It was too late when he noticed the chieftain. It prepared its hammer as Henry strafed to the side. The mongoose gets destroyed as he picks up a discarded spartan laser and aimed at the brute.

 

"Time to sleep!" He says as the laser tore the brute apart.

[VinWarrior]

Joseph jumped backwards at the sound of the static, it terrified him, cause it meant no one is alive to talk to him, he shook his head and moved back to his spot, as he watched a Phantom hover over the coordinates the note pointed to, a chieftan jumped off of it as he held in his hand a squirming ODST. Joseph watched him as he held the Shock Trooper with both arms, in seconds, he ripped the ODST in half, splattering blood on his Golden armor, Joseph's eyes widened and he turned around and pulled off his helmet, he crawled on the floor and vomited. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. He stabilized for a few seconds and turned around again, watching the Chieftan. He acted like a Warlord, punishing a grunt who didn't obey with a slash of his hammer. More brutes emerged from the Phantom. Suddenly something on the Comms played, like a recording, but not. It said, "Take em' down."

 

He accidentally pulled the trigger, sending a bullet into a Brute Minor's head, as his some 300 pound body fell, it shook nearby ground, and the chieftan turned, as the body fell. Grunts, Jackals, and other Brutes alike turned soon after. Most minors stared at the body. Majors soon turned to their chieftan, waiting for guidance. The chieftan got enraged and turned to the building the sniper was in, saying, "We Have a Demon on the loose! Find him and I'll consider not killing you!" As he put his gravity hammer to his back, One more shot would reveal his position, but he knew as long as Invincibility wasn't on the Chieftan, one shot would be all it takes. He aimed at the chieftan's head as he sighed and pulled the trigger, the shot flew fast in the air and penetrated his skull, leaving a burn in his apelike hair and sending him falling to the cold floor. The squad yet again turned, but a Grunt called out, "There! I saw the shooty shooty demon there!" as Brutes and Jackals turned to the spot where he was in, a lock wouldn't prevent an army of angry brutes, he had to run, as he did another voice came from his comms, seemingly not directed towards him, but close, it said, "Time to sleep!" as he heard a Spartan laser shot nearby, the squad that chased him was too much into a bloodlust to hear it. Joseph put the sniper on his back, and armed a Charge to the door, he ran as fast as he could to the roof.

 

Joseph jumped to another rooftop, barely grabbing the ladder, he crawled up and watched with his sniper to see when the squad entered, he could hear a grunt shout, "Unholy Flare!"

 

As Joseph pressed on the charge, incinerating the room in a ball of light and causing the building to collapse. Joseph could hear Phantoms coming, he needed to go, he ran into the nearby NMPD Station, and walked into an office, he just... Sat down... For two minutes, he sat, it felt like he hadn't sat down in eternity. He looked at the watch on his wrist, it read, "5:37 A.M." He put his head up and sighed, saying, "Almost morning, Joe, almost."

[BaconShelf]

The 'Hogs passed a street covered in debris. They were dodging and tracking s Phantom that was on the hunt. If aliens could find survivors, they just needed to find the aliens. They turned a corner, Chaingun blazing as Jacob saw a guy run into an NMOD station. They cleared up the grunts, this guy had done some serious damage by himself, a Chieftain had fallen, clean hit!

"Hey, you can come out now, Apes are dead. We're taking you home. Kapiche?" Shouted Jacob, not wanting to scare the possibly shell shocked or crazed trooper. Judging from the amount if fire in the street, this would be a possibility. He'd seen troops go insane from stress before from smaller things, and this was large, dismounting from the vehicle, he readied his shotgun ands lowly made his way past plasma burns and bullet holes. And a line ODST body pinned to the wall, almost deliberately by spikes; one in each hand and foot with one in the neck. There was a considerable amount of blood dripping down, evidencing the torture he must have endured. Walking past, he activated his flashlight on the barrel and helmet, iron sights raised and ready for action.

[Frankenzer]

Henry checked the laser. It still had 3 more shots left. He watched in awe as a scarab dropped from above. He knew he had to take it down so he prepared himself. The Scarab was sure to past a bridge right ahead so getting inside a ghost, he knew he had get to the bridge fast to board the Scarab.

By now, round two for New Mombasa was kicking in, with scarabs, light armor, and fresh infantry landing down. The UNSC was seemingly regrouping, judging by the fact that his current vicinity was rather void aside from him. He wasn't necessarily trying to rejoin the fight so it didn't surprise him to see decreased friendly activity. The Covenant were closing in as well, and patrols he was having fun traversing around.

 

He was in the middle of it all, and worse yet, he was only half-armed.

 

A designated SAW gunner was only as useful as his weapon, and right now his weapon was next to useless with a broken reciever and a charging handle that wouldn't come back more than an inch. With his luck, he'd be able to fire off a single, Grunt-killing around before his weapon jammed. Maintenance was a possibility, but he never carried spare weapon parts; Misriah made a products too good for them to need in-field repairs. He just didn't expect a God damned building to fall on him today. Solitude wasn't going to get him through this, he thought.

 

"F**k...." he muttered, shaking his head. He was hoping to lay low, stay away from other friendlies. Any organized groups were certain to want to get back into the storm, but he knew it'd be a losing fight. But right now, he had no other option, so he touched his commpad again, repeating the same SOS sequence as before. "If I'm gonna die, at least it won't be alone."

[VinWarrior]

Joseph could hear footsteps, he knew he was screwed, he was just waiting for the bullet to fly through his skull, then he saw a familiar face, a human one, he smiled, saying, "Thank god, someone made it out of that ****storm. My name is Joseph. And we need to get out of here." as he walked around the room, thinking of possible escape routes, rejecting all of them, as he continued to walk in the dim lit room, then suddenly, he turned to the Human in front of him, shining the light of his gun,

 

He asked him, "You have any ideas?"

[BaconShelf]

Jacob looked at the marine, he was sure he had narrowly avoided being pistol-whipped in the back of the skull.

"Actually, I do" he replied, helping the marine to his feet. "We have a couple 'Hogs outside. Wanna join the cavalry? We're rounding up survivors for evac before those uber-Hunters are on our *sses. If we don't get out in time, we're well and truly f*cked."

Walking back outside, the ODSTs were there. One on the Chaingun, letting off rounds at an approaching grunt squad, the driver having recieved a spike round to the abdomen was still letting off SMG shots. He emptied his chamber into the aliens before helping the trooper onto the Minigun vehicles passenger seat. Looking over at the rescues, he shouted "You know how to drive? We need to get outta here quick!" Before hopping in his own vehicle, watching a Spirit deploy Drones over the building they had been in.

[Mr. Wolfy]

Pulling up to what was left of the command center they had driven away from, Kyro stared in amazement at the destroyed and smoldering building. There was not a single body of the creature who had attacked him before to be seen anywhere near what was left of the building in front of him, but there were several bodies lying on the ground wearing similar armor to himself and the lady who had jumped in the car with him. She seemed a bit shaken by it, but he still had no clue what was going on. Climbing out of the hog, which was now sporting several plasma burns and new metal piercings from brute spikes, Kyro walked towards the building and noticed several medics rushing around inside. A pelican flew down rapidly and nearly crushed the hog as it landed with a loud crash. A man ran up, "Let's go, get the wounded in! The Covies are almost here, this is the last bird that's gonna be able to get in here before this place gets turned into a warzone!" Kyro stared blankly and the man stared back confused and impatiently before rushing past and into the building. Turning, Kyro walked in and saw piles of twisted and destroyed metal in the form of blown up vehicles, destroyed ammo crates, and piles of destroyed weapons. Medics were running by with stretchers carrying screaming and dismembered soldiers, either lining them up near the entrance or running them out to the now waiting pelican. The entire place was alive with movement. Everyone had the same fear showing in their eyes. Something was coming, and Kyro knew these people were unprepared for it.

[Helljumper425]

Aaron had been walking for little over forty minutes when he finally decided to take a seat. He didn't make his resting place too inconspicuous, in fact he just chose the curb of some intersection without much a care about anything. If he got shot, so be it. At least he was comfortable. Resting a weary head to his gloved fist, he began to doze off, deciding it was better to forget where he was while he still could.

 

And then some ***hole pulling at the fate strings brought his comm back to life. Not only that, but his HUD returned, monocular tactical data and everything. "Ah crap...now I HAVE to get back into the fight..."

[Trae Houston]

On his way to were he believes a group of UNSC forces is located, Jalen, an ODST who has lost his whole squad to a Covenant ambush, has stoped to take a break at half collapsed two story restraunt. "D*mn I don't have enough ammo to survive another encounter with the Covenant." Jalen said talking to himself. As looking out of a building Jalen sees a Spirit droping troops on top of building not to far away. "Mmmm whats going on over there?" he mumbled to himself gets up and goes to check it out. About thirty minutes later he reaches his destination and realizes what is happening. Finding a way to the roof and see's one Elite four grunts and two jackals. Puting his DMR up and grabbing his knife off of his shoulder he slowly walked up and assassinates the Elite, for it would have been the toughest one to defeat. Killing off the jackal's would have been great but he was spotted by a grunt and killed it by  throwing the knife into its head in the process of pulling out his sticky detonator and killing the rest with a it. He was injured though was still able to fight because of his Adrenalin. "Hey ODST with the Phoenix squad emblem and the saw, I took care of the ones up here I will come down to help in a second. Oh and do you have any ammo I am low."

[BaconShelf]

[Count the above as non existent until I say otherwise. I have PMed changes he has to make before posting again.]

[VinWarrior]

Joseph sat in his vehicle as it seemed to bump every few minutes, he stared out into the sky, and smiled, he had always wanted to visit the stars, but he was stuck on earth, this took the smile right off of his face, he put his head down, groaning, he turned to the man who rescued him, and handed him his ODST helmet, saying, "It's dented, won't be needing it anymore anyway." as he continued to stare into space, in silence, but this silence was breached by an all too familiar sound, Needlers. A Hail fired unto the front of the vehicle, piercing it, and almost killing the driver, Joseph held on for his life, as the car swerved and turned, the sounds of battle grew louder, eventually, a hair-chilling sound pierced Joseph's ears, he heard a Plasma EMP go off, Joseph turned as fast as he could, a grunt's plasma shot barreled at the car, hitting it with full speed, the driver yelled and screamed, swerving accidentally into the wall, he had no control though, Joseph shot out of the car, hitting the wall himself, and knocking out. He couldn't see, but he heard the chatter of a devil. A Brute Chieftain.
