Clay was healing quite well on his own, Xz added a nice touch but still it wasn’t enough, nor did it do anything to dull the pain.
The newcomer, while a formidable ally, only further irritated Clay with his skill and ability. If any one was gonna be the hero, Clay’s pride and ego wouldn’t let it be him.
Without a word it would come down to race since time was against them. Logically the faster of them would take out the aircraft, cutting off any escape and disabling any weapons. The slower would aid Evelyn leaving K12 to take out the snipers.

”Let’s do this!” Clay growled to Xz, falling deeper into the beast. He underwent another transformation, continuing on where he left off before. His healing was forced into overdrive as a new energy shot through him. Exploding from his resting place against the tavern wall, a powerful large wolf darted across cold floor. It’s brilliant sleek black coat a blur in the night sky as it crossed the field in an amazing pace. Far larger, stronger and more powerful than any normal dog, and enhanced by Zx he was quick. Still he wasn’t quite as fast as a cheetah but he had a small head start.

Where he was in the race suddenly didn’t matter. In no time at all he came upon the soldiers transporting Evelyn and instinctively the beast took over. Before they could even lift a gun or knew what was happening, the wolf had leapt upon one of them and tore his throat out.
Standing over the lifeless corps the giant wolf curled its lips back and snarled, blood dripping from its wide open jaw, it’s wild eyes staring intently, daring and challenging the remaining people.

@Dark Light can I enter a new character that will really stir up the pot with all soldiers and guns

@Blueflame

I don’t think it will be necessary. A single purpose character entering for a scene that’s nearly over. I’m sure @Dealdric’s character can clean up a few enemies. I know K12 can.
Clay and Zx have the outside covered.

@Dealdric Welcome! Thanks for joining and being a part.
I’ve thrown some armed soldiers and robots your way.
Feel free to take care of them as you wish.

: Attn ALL
This encounter should wrap up fairly soon.
There is remenants of tear gas floating around the tavern but I’m gonna say all other effects of the earlier grenades has subsided.

Hope we are having fun.
Normal tavern shenanigans will ensue soon :D

”About time.” Clay muttered nonchalantly in response to the man appearing out of nowhere and falling to the ground. Acting as though this was not only uncommon but somewhat expected.

————————-

With their prime objective secured, the invasion parties waiting patiently at each and every window sprung into action.
If the room was occupied they went in hostile, otherwise they simply placed explosives and carried on sweeping the building. Intent and determine to clear any and all trace of their presence. 12 soldiers entered in total, spread out through the building. 5 remained out front with Evelyn. Numerous drones continued to scout and assist. An unknown number of snipers surveyed and continued to feed intel.

Before Salamel @King Tai could even finish taking in the scenery, he was under attack. Flanked from either side by two small tactile teams assisted by combat drones. K12 @Blueflame would encounter similar troubles on his way to the upper floor windows.

——————————

After hitting into the door futilely, with enough strength and effort to dislocate his shoulder, Clay groans with a growing rage. He chuckles proudly about what the symbiote said.
“You ain’t seen nothing yet doll, hold on tight.” he replies as enemies entered.

Beneath the layer of symbiote covering his body, Clay’s tattooed flesh began to ripple and roll as the muscles beneath began to pop, expand, tense and grow. His teeth grit tightly together in agony, trying to hold back his groan as his contorted figure snapped violently from one position to another. His fingers curled and contracted. He sporadically shook his his head, trying to tame the pain and clear his thoughts.

Amidst his own brutal battle, Clay managed to say one thing to the symbiote. “Protect her.” right before he launched himself at the bullet ridden wall beside the door. Finding a new strength in his legs and with the protection of Xz he tore a path right through it sending splinters of debris and wood exploding outwards.

As the shattering debris and smoke settled, Clay stood there, in the cold air of outside, all attention and guns pointed at him. Slightly larger than before, muscles well more defined. Jaw seemingly move protruded, teeth noticeably sharper, his twitching ears reaching up nearing a point. His wide chest and shoulders heaving up and down heavily as he inhaled and exhaled deeply.

He surveyed the scene with new eyes that now glowed with a wild demonic orange, as a raw untamed energy coursed through his veins. He was overcome with an extreme predatory excitement and hunger. Highly alert and energetic he moved in a more beastly and erratic nature.

If Xz was attuned to Clay at all she would be aware of the overwhelming urges of the beast within. His battle for control against this ecstatic drug like rush and feeling of invulnerability. It became obviously clear what he meant earlier, ‘protect her... from me.’
His monsterous gaze fell upon Evelyn, for a split second it nearly passed her without recognition, but as a soldier proded her with a gun barrel, Clay snapped and gave into the insatiable rage swelling inside him.

The cold nights air suddenly erupted into a cacophony of gun fire. It was the uninjured dogs that first broke the stillness before Clay could act. Out of nowhere their jaws suddenly latched onto the layer of symbiote skin covering Clay. The drones and soldiers followed. But it was a sniper bullet that dropped him. Punching right through all the built up armour it tore a clean hole in his chest as it threw him into the tavern wall.

Coughing and spluttering, he collapsed to the floor. Blood trickling from the few holes that managed to penetrate Xz. In the distance the sniper reloaded and put Clay’s head in his sight.
Unaware of his potential doom he managed to wheeze out a whisper to Xz, _{”ready for round two?”}

Within seconds of the surrender, Evelyn was surrounded by by people and droids. The bullet ridden door was shut behind her and securely locked in place by a mobile barricade. (Also protecting them from stray bullets)
Hovering drones maintained a pointed barrel at her, ready and waiting for any defiance. Two larger men forcibly grabbed her arms and folded them behind her back, their grip was unnaturally tight and painful. Locking her hands in a large solid high tech restraint they then kicked in the back of her knees forcing her to kneel down amongst the twitching corpses of the dead and still dying.

@Dealdric@Blueflame
Without hesitation Clay reluctantly nodded to the symbiote as he reached out to the female form, putting a heavy hand on its shoulder.
”Alright do your thing. But don’t you dare try take over.” He growled in warning. His piercing gaze deadly and serious.

As it started doing its thing, the tavern doors shut.

”K2! Sniper mode, quick go upstairs! They have snipers in the field. Eliminate them.” Clay’s orders thundered over all other commotion. His words were true, he had seen it first hand when he tried to escort the civilians out the back. Each one falling one after the other in rapid succession as they tried to flee the tavern.
It wouldn’t be easy for K2 as their snipers would already have the advantage be watching every window.

Talking to X-Z in a softer whisper, Clay says with the strain of determination in his voice.
”We’re not letting those bastards take her. We are not letting any of them leave!” as he charges shoulder first into the unwavering doors.

MORNIN ALL! 😁
What a beautiful day.

Alright let’s keep this rolling. Post incoming.

@BoyMom69035

Look forward to your post then ;)

TNT - The Nameless Tavern. (Always Open)

@Dark Light Got it :)

Edit: Also... I'm kind of torn between Evelyn turning herself in (cause I'm sure more guys will show up), and continuing to fight.

What do you guys think?

@Blueflame @Dealdric @Dark Light

@BoyMom69035

If you think it fits her character you should have her try turn herself in :)

Ok so just so everyone understands.

There is about 5 grenade sized canisters on the main floor.
Once settled they released a chemical compound that quickly reacted and glued/cemented them to what ever surface they were on.

They are close to running out of tear gas now but it still hangs heavily in the room with very little airflow to make it do otherwise.
Each one is strobing like a flash bang grenade and functioning like one of those house alarms designed to make an intruder pass out.

We should work on dulling/stopping them.

Also.

Viscious attack dogs circle the perimeter and small drones have started coming into the building.

You can assume they are equipped with anything you like as each may be individually purposed.
