Henri




Henri listened carefully to the briefing. To be honest, while this wasn't exactly the European mission, he had desired for a chance like this. And granted, this wasn't his first big mission by any means. The naval invasion had that honor.

The sergeant took a deep breath. He was letting excitement getting to him. Trainers had warned not to let lust for battle get to the head, because then things would get ugly. You couldn't afford to see enemy as a human, but neither could you turn yourself into a monster. No, the enemy was the Chinese government, not the Chinese people. Not to mention that there were hostages that needed releasing.

He looked at the surrounding arms masters. Many of them were still kids, and some of them even outranked Henri. Some had proven themselves at the Lingayen Beach, but not all of them. Sending a child to battle was something the First World was supposed to frown upon. But with Arms Masters, the rules were stretched. And he didn't really trust them. That's why Leonidas was an anti-NA in the first place.

And speaking of Leonidas, where would the officers place him? Evacuation? There were more people that could be fit within Henri's range, and real weapons were still a problem? Direct combat? He could neutralize even China's strongest Arms Masters, but Leonidas was indiscriminate, disarming allies, as well. The Lingayen Beach had shown his capability as a teleported assassin, striking and leaving. Some sort of co-ordination would be required.

Henri took the opportunity and asked. "How shall we be organized for the mission? I mean, what unit has which members and operation?"

"Wait! Who are... you?" But Henri's question remained unanswered, as the kid disappeared in pursuit of the masked man.

Henri considered the bottle in his hands. It seemed too simple to be the cure. Although, the boy didn't seem like the lying sort. Besides, if it was poison or the virus, Henri could simply not open the bottle, and nitroglycerin too dangerous to bring with you when jumping about.

Nonetheless, Henri returned to the trucks, where the police had managed to gain something of a control of the situation.

"Sergeant, what on Earth happened?" Captain queried.

"Some armsmaster gave me this." Henri said, presenting the bottle, "Claims it to be the cure for the zombies, though I can't confirm it."

"Take it to the headquarters in Truck 5" Captain ordered "The boys in the lab can figure it out. And be ready with that power of yours, in case the bottle breaks"

"Yes, sir"

After some preparations, the truck left for the base, with it hopefully the solution to this crisis.

Once the subject launched his plan, the cops opened fire. While Henri was shocked by the act, he couldn't exactly blame them. Civilians or no, they were infected and danger of spreading more. Besides, police had a reputation of aggressiveness, in and out of Philippines, so nothing new there. Still, they showed enough empathy to help the released hostage to safety.

"Okay, Armsmaster unit, get him!" Came Captain's order, and Henri, along with the four cops that escorted him before, advanced through the opening created by the salvo.

"What are you waiting for? Activate your power!" One of the team-mates told.

"Not yet" Henri said, "I've used it already plenty of times and I'm exhausted. We'll wait until we have the perfect change."

"Exhausted?" The cop asked, bewildered, "What kind of an Armsmaster are you?"

"One who knows he's not a god." Henri replied, not in the mood to argue.

After a while, they caught up to the assailant. Now the hard part. While technically sacrificing the hostage was an option, it wasn't one anyone would lightly take. Words would have to be used first.

"Just give up, already!" Henri shouted, "You cannot escape!"

So far things were in order. Zombies, though dangerous, had some predictable acting patterns, which could be used in herding them. Henri himself had recently taken a risk and lured a bunch of zombies in an alley with a chain-link fence, climbing straight over it and leaving the infected behind. Should suffice until the cops could come and take them.

It was around this time that the signal flare appeared in the sky.

"Units 5, 17 and 22 to the emergency location!" Came the order through the comm-link. Henri was assigned to unit 5, so he'd have to be there as well. Quickly he rushed to the center of action, where the three trucks were already being loaded by the cops.

"About time!" The captain noted Henri's arrival, and then stopped him from entering the truck. "No! You take the front seat next to the driver!"

Henri did ponder the captain's intentions, but orders were orders, so he simply replied "Yes, Sir!" And entered the front of the truck.

The convoy moved in a single file to the signal flare's direction, though the path was soon blocked by more zombies.

"Now, use that Arms trick of yours" Captain ordered.

Henri did as told and activated Leonidas. "Fighting in shade"

The infected in the front and sides of the truck regained their selves and, realizing a police truck was moving towards them, got out of the way with the best of their ability. And as the trucks moved forward, the field vanished and the infected became zombies again, but by that time a path had already been cleared forward.

Henri had to admit that it was clever from the captain. Cold, but clever.

In the area they reached, there was a full chaos going on. Quickly the riot cops exited the vehicles, Henri with them, joining the shield wall.

"Attention!" Captain spoke to a loudspeaker, "This is the police! Surrender now, and there will be no further trouble!"

It was unlikely to work, but protocol was protocol. The units prepared to make their move, and Henri put his shield above his head, just in case.

Driving on a riot police truck was not something Henri had expected, when he had come to the Philippines. However, the orders came, and the cops needed an arms master to help deal with the supposed zombie infestation.

"Okay, everyone, listen up!" The captain of the squad spoke. "These zombies have entered a riot, and are spreading fast! Our mission is to drive away the rioters, before they too become infected! Use all means possible! Velasco, Marquez, Torres and del Rosario, you're on recon duty with the Arms Master! Find out what makes these zombies tick! What was your reach again, Sergeant!"

"Twenty meters!" Henri replied.

"Don't go any closer than ten meters!" The captain ordered, "Withdraw immediately, if something goes wrong, and inform the rest of us and the headquarters, what you found out! Are there any questions, men!"

"Sir, no sir!" Everyone replied.

"Good!" The captain said in turn "Now, prepare to move in Five! Four! Three! Two! One!"

Once the order came, the cops rushed out of the van and into the scene. As ordered, most went for the rioting crowd, while the four assigned to Henri followed him to the zombies.

"Leonidas!" Henri said releasing his Arm, and soon enough raised it above his head, while the cops gave cover, "Fighting in Shade!"

The zombies in Leonidas' range suddenly turned to normal. Shocked queries of 'Where am I' and the like came from the mouths of the cured, followed by screams of horror at the sight of zombies still infected.

Henri needed to rest again and deactivated the power. But the moment that happened, the cured were zombies again.

"Time to withdraw" Spoke one of Henri's protectors, Torres probably. The others nodded, and while Henri wasn't fully on the idea of retreat, it was more important to bring the information back.

Henri pressed his communicator, as he and the cops returned to the main group. "Sergeant Leroi reports from the field. Zombies confirmed to be of Noble Arm origin. Anti-NA field neutralizes the infection, but doesn't cure it. Further studies will be required. Over."

With that, the police operation continued. Once civilians were dealt with, it would be needed to determine, if the zombies would be captured, isolated... or eliminated.
Hi, it's me, Chiro again. Knock Knock.

First off, sorry I've been away for so long. Been on a bit of a crisis.

Anyway, if it's okay with you lot, I'd like to try this RP again. Try and see if I do have what it takes to take an initiative.

Last time, there were new GMs here. If possible, I'd like to know who they are and some info on the situation.

I know there's a Zombie infestation (scientific sort) going on, but that's about it.
@Chiro: Uh... I would rather you not play royalty, if that's what you're asking.
That aside, uh... We probably want to try and balance the cast in terms of abilities/personality to some extent...?


I'll keep that in mind.

Well, better re-check what others have made. BRB
@Chiro: We're still open, yeah. As for that concept, though... It's all about execution on that front. Gotta come up with someone compelling to be more than just "a character who tries to mess with meta-knowledge" like that.


Fair.

I'll try and see, what I can come up with.

Speaking of, what's your stance on playing royalty(or are there any preferences to the rank or skills)?
I decided to check if there was still room for one more. It's says "apply", but never hurts to ask.

Now, I haven't pondered the character's "Original Role" much yet. I was thinking of developing him according to what kind of character this RP would need or is missing (bored prince, commoner kid, novice monk etc.).

Anyway, I was thinking that historically my character was more knowledgeable of Otome genre from reading manga and webtoons, and generally didn't have much interest in Visual Novels. He got pulled into playing Cross Heart Academy after hearing it would take inspiration from otome mangas, including villainesses.

Within the story the character's drama would center around "flawed meta-knowledge". He knows the tropes, archetypes and flags of the otome isekai stories, but he has trouble seeing the reality behind them. For example, he thinks Anne is the main antagonist, because "Whenever Heroine reincarnates, she becomes the new villainess".

But, what do you think?
