[IC] Galaxy at War: Rise of the Crimson Legion

[thegreenleafe]

Loco moved out of the Crimson Fang and counted six guards separated by large cooling vents. "This should be easy." thought Jesus. Quietly Loco told Bruiser,

"I'll take the right, you can have the left." With that Loco checked his gun quickly and gave it a good luck kiss before he and Bruiser began their assault. Slipping out behind the first guard Jesus pushed his plasma knife in the neck of the guard and put him down as soft as can be. Then Loco moved up and cut the throat of the second guard. As he put down the second man the third one turned around and Jesus was forced to use his pistol and he squeezed the trigger and the bullet flew to the guard killing him. As the shot rang out Loco had no idea of the consequences, if any.

[Master Crim]

"Copy that, wait on the roof until further notice." Bruiser replied as Loco took up his position next him behind on of the many cooling vents. Pulling up his HUD he heard Loco say they would split to the right and left to take out the guards to which he agreed and proceeded to the left side of the roof. He approaced the firat guard, who was walking away from him, quick and quiet useing hia lare handa to grab his his head and jerk it sharply to one side. As he did this the guards eyes got wide and he attempted to call for help, but was cut short before he could utter a word. As he dropped the body the second guard was turning to head his way, and Bruiser pulled out his knife, threw it and ran after him. As the guard saw Bruiser the knife landed in his chest and Bruiser removed it and stabbed him in the throat. While setting down the guard he located the third and began moving toward him when he heard a pistol shot. The guard turned and looked around only to see Bruisers fist heading at him like a locomotive at full speed. The result was not very pretty and Bruiser shook his hand a little before telling Loco over comm. "Well, that wasn't exactly to plan."

He walked back across the roof to where they had dropped in to grab Jason's case and then radioed in. "This is Assault to Crimson, over. The nest clear and additional supplies for Sandman for has arrived." As he said this he brought the more trunk like container to a secure and out of site area on the roof. "Do you copy?"

"Alright, let us begin... Damage the vehicles anyway you can, brother. Slash the tires, burn the engine, I don't care. Make sure they can not drive out of here. And apparently, we have to be quiet, too." Gardosii ordered Doc to begin their mission, and they split up, trying to make as little noise as possible. Doc used thermite charges on some of the vehicles, lifting the bonnet and setting a charge on the starter motor of each engine. With a loud hiss, the thermite charges ignited, and burned right through the engines, landing on the concrete floor and snuffing themselves out.

While it was a very effective way to disable them, Gardosii preferred to get his hand dirty, and would methodically rip out the ignition, slash a tire, or even tear the steering wheel off with his bare hands, crude but also very effective. After a while, their work was done, and every car was totally useless. He couldn't wait to see the look on their faces when they found out there was no escape, and smiled deviously to himself. Unfortunately, there was very little cover for them to use, and that needed to change.

Gardosii approached Doc, and made a suggestion: "Brother, get in that car and steer. I will push..." Doc did so releasing the hand brake, and directed the car as Gardosii pushed it effortlessly to block the main exit out of the garage. They did this twice more, and created a crude barricade at the exit. Even if they could miraculously get the cars working, the Horsemen couldn't drive out of here. With a satisfied sigh, Gardosii contacted Angel again. "Guardian Angel, we have disabled the target vehicles, over. Now, the hunt can truly begin, yes?"

[Arthanus]

Jason stayed in the security room until Guardian Angel had been plugged in And once he received the confirmation he went on his way. "Don't stick around here to long were going to need you ready when all the fun starts." Jason said before he left heading for an elevator to take him to the rooftop so he could signal for the Assault team to be dropped. Once inside the elevator Jason started to contact the ship. "Hay Fatman, make sure the assault team is ready to go, I'll be giving off the signal soon we wont have much time until they find out that we are here" He said before there was a bit of a pause on the line. "You mean that blackout wasn't the signal?" Nate answered, "They are already on the ground taking care of the roof guard as we speak." He followed up catching Jason up on what was going on. "Well, that is unexpected, but it can work out." Jason replied just before an alarm started to sound. "Damn it what was way to soon, what happened? All units we have been found out Move to assault operations everyone go loud!" Jason said immediately. "Assault team you don't have time to wait for me move in after the targets, leave my gear on the roof I will cut them off." He ordered trying to plan his way though the situation. "As for their crap we will deal with that later, our main priority is to eliminate our targets. Everyone move now." He said wishing that the elevator would move faster. "This is exactly why I didn't want those two on the ground until I had handled the roof.... I bet one of them pulled their gun..." he said to himself while he waited.

The four horsemen sat around a table discussing their business now that the power had returned. "Now gentlemen, as I was saying before, if you would direct your attention here." Conquest said pointing to the holographic projection in front of him. "If we combine our forces and power, this puny Stronghold of theirs will be no match for our us." he said to the others smirking knowing that things were going his way. "Now all I need is your supp..." He started but stopped as a gun shot was heard on the roof above them. Instantly everyone in the room was put on guard and reached for their weapons except for Conquest. "Well it seems my suspicions were right. It looks like we have some uninvited guests." he said coldly. "Now if you would follow me, I have an underground bunker that we can escape to, or you can try your luck and try to escape on your own." Conquest stated clearly as he stood up, one of his guards pulled a book form a nearby bookshelf and a door appeared. "I would make your decision quickly." He said moving through the doorway. The other three sat at the desk fr a moment before things sunk in. Each of the other three quickly got up almost panicked compared to Conquest's calm attitude, "Well I think I know what I am doing, but I wish you two luck my friends." Death said quickly following behind Conquest. The other two made their way out of "Thanks for the offer, but this meeting is over. If you can't even defend your operation base then how do you plan to take over this planet?" Famine said while making his way to the exit. "A manipulative worm doesn't deserve the strength of my men." War followed up making his way out of the meeting room as well. "As you wish, Men kill any intruders" Conquest said before closing the door to the secret passage. The guard nodded and readied their weapons expecting intruders and escorting War and Famine as they made their way down to the parking garage

"Son of a..." Malcolm muttered as the alarm started to go off. After hearing Jason's orders, Malcolm activated the HUD in the glasses he was wearing to complete his disguise. In a few moments he was back out in the corridor following the highlighted path to the parking garage with one of his pistols drawn. As he rounded the last corner Malcolm stopped abruptly after seeing two large guards carrying submachine guns at the end of the hallway who immediately opened fire upon seeing him. Seeing no immediate alternative, Malcolm said into the comms link,"I've got two guards at the end of the eastern hallway leading into the parking structure, ground floor." He paused for a moment to peek around the corner and see what they were doing, which was immediately followed by the sound of bullets whizzing past the wall. "They aren't pursuing. Unless Team 3 wants to come take care of them, Guardian Angel I'm going to need you to send me an alternative route to get in the garage, and fast. There's bound to be more on the way. Seeing how these two aren't pursuing I might've stumbled onto their escape route." Malcolm leaned against the wall with his pistol pointed down the corridor he came from, occasionally leaning the slightest around the corner to make sure the two men were not getting closer.

"So, you see Doc, all it takes is a little twist with the knife, and the center skull piece just pops right off! With the subject still alive, you can then poke the brain for all manner of-"

"That's enough, Wanderer. I think I'm going to be sick. Besides, we should get ready for any escapees, right?" Doc had heard enough, and could taste the bile trickling up his throat. Gardosii was certainly gifted on torturing people, that's for sure. The two sat in silence for a bit, as the large alien lit another smoke, and wondered how the others were fairing. It was difficult to tell, as they were told to keep quiet until told otherwise. That's when the alarm sounded.

Gardosii jumped to his feet, and got into contact with Guardian Angel. "By the Huntress, what the hell is going on!? We didn't even get warning- Oh, I see. Well, we're ready to go, just let us know when they're close. Wanderer out." Readying his chain gun, Gardosii turned to Doc, and smiled. "It appears we have company. Prepare for combat, brother, and show them no mercy! And remember, if you catch any alive, you can use that little knife trick I taught you!" He laughed, voice booming through the garage, as they both jumped behind their barricade and readied their weapons. The hunt was reaching it;s end, and they got the most glorious kill of them all: An enemy near defeat and humiliated. Gardosii could hardly contain his excitement, he was already spinning up his gun.

Marcus sighed and slapped his helmet as Loco and Bruiser began the sweep, against his advisement to wait. He looked to the others positions and spoke into the comms

"Never mind last order, everybody go loud!"

He switched to Malcolms feed and location, keeping both of his eyes focused on the task at hand

"There's a Janitors closet located directly on the other side of your location. it has two entries, one of them leading to a VIP area. take a direct right on the other side and it'll lead you to the garage; And I suggest you move quickly, security personnel are closing in!"

His right eye caught something from the camera feeds, two of the horsemen- Famine and War- were being escorted to the garage

"OK, actually security personnel and two of our Targets are closing in on the VIP area! Gardosii and Doc, I need you to keep an eye on the stairs leading to the second floor, and the door next to it. if anything, he'll be coming from one of them!"

"And yes, let the hunt begin!"

[thegreenleafe]

"Of course that wasn't to plan Bruiser, if everything went to plan then I'd be doing whatever mi madre wanted me to do, a mechanic or something." Said Loco as he reminisced of his mother. After a second passed he observed the bodies emptying the ammo from their guns when Malcolm released the frustrated words, "Never mind go loud". James released a laugh,

"Well I suppose he saw us Bruiser, well could be worse you know." Of course then it got worse, the radio crackled,

"Rooftop you missed your dead line, anything wrong?" All James could thing was shit.

[Master Crim]

"Everything is fine, we are on the move towards the meeting room." Bruiser said as he nodded to Loco. What he said was true if everything went as planned they wouldn't be here. He took out he repelling cable and latched it onto the edge of the roof looking down the building. "You know, I have always heard that these cables fail 1 out of 50 times... how many jumps have we made?" Bruiser grind as he leaned back over the edge getting ready to push off. "Ready for assault on meeting room. Go!" He said as he waited for Loco then jumped off swinging out and back into the building through the window of the large room. As Bruiser came in through the window glasswent every where, but to his dissatisfaction no one was there.

[thegreenleafe]

After he swung into the empty room Loco was confused,

"Overwatch why is this room empty?" While waiting for a response he fiddled with his gun and made a comment to Bruiser,

"This job was starting to grow on me, you know, I was getting used to killing pieces of shit. Now van they up and went somewhere, which sadly isn't a fiery pit in hell." As James "Loco" Martinez was commenting he noticed a small CCTV in the top corner, maybe that could help he thought as he mentioned it to Bruiser.

[The Mage]

"Targets heard the fighting above them. they've cleared out. I can't get a location on Conquest or Death.....it'ls like they disappeared...... Anyways, War and Famine are approaching the Garage now. Do NOT let them escape. I'd hate to have these guys back out on the streets again."
