[center][h2][color=fff200][color=f49ac2]Juniper[/color] and Gaz [/color] [/h2][/center] (With [@Spriggs27]) As they walked through the ruins, Juniper on Gaz's shoulder like a parrot, the duo kept their eyes open for any sign of trouble. Gaz had his eyes to the front, Juniper looking behind them. And of course, the pink parrot was talking the poor guy's ear off. [color=f49ac2]"What kind of card are we picking up, G?"[/color] She had taken to calling the white haired boy G, regardless of whether he liked it or not. It was her way of showing affection - or rather, more affection than she usually shows. [color=f49ac2]"You got anything in mind, or are we just going to get the first one we find?"[/color] "[color=fff200] I think we should just find one and after that we find one related to it. It seems like the only thing that seems smart really if not completely stupid as fuck really.[/color] " Gaz told her his plan for the two, it wasn't really rocket science that Gaz was hopeing to do with her, just find one card and whatever it seemed related to. Juniper nodded with faux solemnity. [color=f49ac2]"D'you think the others already have a card? Oh! What if we can't find two of the same type? Actually, how do we even know what we're looking for? I've never seen a Tarrow card before..."[/color] "[color=fff200] Damn well then we find two that look the same on the picture side, I don't know what the hell they look like either, since we got to find two of the same type then I guess we can find something to the first card we find.[/color]" Gaz told her. As he continued into the ruins Gaz was thinking that they were probably gonna find two completely different cards and look like dumb asses."[color=fff200] If someone has a card we're looking for then we'll kick their ass or trade it.[/color]" Juniper stopped listening halfway through. Was that someone in the ruins? She thought she could see someone, but they looked weird. Metallic. They glistened beneath the light of the Bloodmoon. [color=f49ac2]"G, I don't think we're alone here..."[/color] she whispered, her voice abnormally quiet. As she looked around, she could see more metallic figures. All of them watching them. Waiting. But for what? One of them raised their weapon, and Juniper suddenly realised they were walking into a trap. [color=f49ac2]"GAZ, GET DOWN!"[/color] At that, beams of FLUX rained down from the rooftops. Most of them hit off rubble and ruin, but one of them hit Juniper directly in the chest. She was knocked off her perch and hit the ground hard. As Juniper fell off Gaz's shoulder, the white haired guy ended up doing something he thought he never would really do, he threw himself over top of Juniper and took the extra hit that rained down upon then, after getting hit sever times, Gaz jumped up and rolled up his sleeves. "[color=fff200] Fucking shit, that fucking hurt like ten fucking bitches on a boat. [/color]" He tried to feel his back with his metal gauntlets, but stopped when he got a view of his enemies."[color=fff200]Jupiter get up if you can, I know that flux shit can be heavy hitting but if you don't shake it off I'll get to have all the fun kicking these guy's asses. [/color]" [color=f49ac2]"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine!"[/color] the girl responded, pushing herself up. Fortunately for her, her armour took the brunt of the impact. [color=f49ac2]"Leave some for me, would ya?"[/color] Gaz fired his bolts at the enemies that were attacking them as he fired he noticed that he was tearing his jacket sleeves up."[color=fff200] Fuck hell my jacket's getting fucked up. [/color]" Gaz disgarded his jacket quickly dodging the flux that was being shot at him at the same time, while he was dodging he managed to slam his fist together and lighting his gautlets up like a spark to gas. Now that she was on her feet, Juniper was able to engage the enemy directly. She didn't have a gun like Gaz, but she did have something up her sleeve. Literally. She scampered behind a piece of ruin and looked up at their attackers. She counted six metal men. [color=f49ac2]"Fufufu! Ganging up on a little girl! That's hardly fair, is it? Come and face me like the big, bad metal men you are!"[/color] Why was she taunting them? It wasn't like they were going to respond. Oh well, whatever got the job done. Drawing her pick, she attached her metal rope to it. This was her favourite part of the job. With Gaz drawing fire, she was unfettered for getting her aim steady. Line up the snipers with her thumb... steady... perfect. By the time her attacker knew what was happening, the pick had already left her hand. The bot she had chosen spotted her just as the sharp end of the axe smashed into it's face. It's targetting systems were utterly destroyed, making it essentially useless. But Juniper wasn't done yet - she wanted her weapon back. Tugging the metal wire, she dragged the bot over the edge, sending it hurtling to the ground. [color=f49ac2]"Aww! I think it's falling for me!"[/color] she laughed at Gaz. [color=f49ac2]"That's one down, five to go!"[/color] "[color=fff200] Nope three.[/color]" As Juniper was having fun throwing her weapon into the robots and pulling them to the ground, Gaz decided to just say screw it, he fired most of all his flaming bolts into two of the robots, he moved both his arms back and forth as if he was throwin air punched towards the two. But as he did air punches, large bolts came out the wrist of his gauntlets and flew through the air, Gaz fired not a couple, but dozens of bolts shreading two of the robots to pieces and hitting a couple of the others. The bolts that hit the others only mearly wounded them, if machines could be wounded in any real way, he swung his arms to his sides and large shell casings to the bolts that Gaz was using launched out his gauntlets. Gaz took out two bundles of what looked like bolts wired together, Gaz threw them both into the air and caught both of them with his wrist and the sound of gun reloading filled Gaz's ears. They might have been robots, but they knew a lost cause when it came their way. The drones made a fighting retreat, attempting to supress Gaz and Juniper whilst they made their way out. But Juniper was having none of it [color=f49ac2] "Running away, are ya? You yellow wimps! Come back here! We were just getting warmed up!"[/color] She checked her FLUX container, switching it from Ice to Earth. They had attacked her, and now they were trying to leave the party early? No chance! [color=f49ac2]"Gaz, you ready? I'm going to bring this thing down!"[/color] "[color=fff200] Sure I'm down with it.[/color]" Gaz told her, [color=f49ac2]"Let's do this!"[/color] The pint-sized powerhouse yelled. She swing the hammer end of her pick into the wall of the building the snipers were hiding in, releasing the flux from her weapon into the walls. A stronger, more recently built building may have suffered a light tremour, but this rotten old thing hadn't a chance. The FLUX spread through the building, knocking out vital supports and bringing what was left down. As The building began to shake and tremor, Gaz re-donned his leather jacket and watched the building began to start falling to the ground. Juniper had expected that to happen, so instead of standing around waiting to be clubbed by shrapnel, she darted behind Gaz, using him as a sort of human shield. [color=f49ac2]"You can handle it from here, can't you, Gaz?"[/color] she asked sweetly. When the building stared to come down with rubble, Gaz just silently rolled up his sleeves, part of him wanted to curse real quick but he didn't have the time as a large piece of rubble came tumbing their way. Gaz quickly cocked back his arm and slammed his metal gauntlet into the rubble shattering it into tiny pieces around the two, sadly dust from the broken rubble collected onto Gaz's leather jacket. "[color=fff200] Well shit I wasn't expecting this to happen, my nicely stolen jacket is now even more competely fucked. [/color]" Gaz sighed before jumping and punching another dangerously giant piece of rubble headed towards them. [color=f49ac2]"Don't worry about it"[/color] Juniper tried to reassure him [color=f49ac2]"We can just find another!"[/color] Soon he noticed the robots that tried to kill them stuck under a giant piece of the build that collapsed, two of the other robots were trying to help the stuck one, Gaz didn't hesitate, he rushed in quick punching one of the robots with a flaming fist to it's metal jaw, then he proceeded to sucker punch the next one quickly not letting them get a chance to access the situation. Juniper, meanwhile, skipped behind him, all sunshine and sweetness. She looked down at the trapped bot, hands behind her back coyly. [color=f49ac2]"So, Mister Metal Man"[/color] she began, smiling cruelly [color=f49ac2] "Either you start talking, or I'll have my friend here redirect your central processing unit to your waste management chute!"[/color] There was, of course, no response. [color=f49ac2]"Not talking, eh? Shame for you. Fore!"[/color] At the end of her 'interrogation', Juniper brought her hammer down full force on the robot's metal skull. The resulting mini explosion was beautiful. The threat to their lives was managed. The problem now was... where were the cards? As Gaz ripped the head off the last robot and watched as Juniper smashed the head of the last robot, Gaz sighed before sitting on the ground in the ruins."[color=fff200] Nice job killing our guy that could probably tell us where the cards are.[/color]" Gaz sounding like he was angry. [color=f49ac2]"Aww, don't sound so grumpy, Gaz!"[/color] Juniper grinned at him, trying and failing to put an arm around his shoulder [color=f49ac2] "He wasn't going to say much with his voice box crushed anyway. Chill out! The Boss told us to have fun!"[/color] Before he could really say much else about the situation, two cards began slowly drifting to the ground and both laned right side up in front of the two, Gaz didn't say anything when the cards dropped in front them, he just grabbed one and looked at it, the card he grabbed was the nine of swords, he let Juniper get the other hoping it was one that was somewhat related to it. [color=f49ac2]"Nine of Cups? Lame!"[/color] Juniper's voice came from next to him. There it was, a fat old man sitting with a cup in his hand, leering out the card at her.[color=f49ac2] "Couldn't have been a queen or something..."[/color] Gaz took a quick glance at Juniper's card and began laughing at it finding the card completely funny. Storing the card in her breastplate, Juniper looked at Gaz. [color=f49ac2]"Let's get back. If this is what we wanted, we got it..."[/color] She also sounded angry. Guess she was pretty mad about getting that card. After seeing Juniper store her card inside her breast plate, Gaz stared at her with his doctor's mask covering his mouth and nose,"[color=fff200] So you willing to hold my sword card in there or will I have to keep it in my pants ? [/color]" He asked. That did it for her. She lightened up immediately. [color=f49ac2]"Hehe! Here? Now? It's a bit exposed, isn't it?"[/color] she teased [color=f49ac2]"Yeah, alright, I'll hold onto it for you. Best place to keep it!"[/color] Without waiting to be asked, she snatched the card out his hand and put it next to her own before running off at top speed. [color=f49ac2]"Last one back's a rotten egg!"[/color] Gaz quickly took off from his standing position, he remebered all the other times where he would be chased by people before and caught up to her quickly without much problem."[color=fff200] Really gonna just start running ? [/color]" Gaz asked, as he caught up with her he grabbed the back of her armor and pulled her behind him to get ahead of her."[color=fff200] If you think your winning your outta your damn mind.[/color]"
