Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Robert Fallson - The Arcade

Robert gritted his teeth as Shiro activated his character's special. "Leeeeerrrroy Jenkiiiins!" he shouted as he moved the analog stick in Shiro's character's direction. As the first shell of the barrage neared, Robert quickly pushed it upward, just narrowly jumping over it, it's following shots, and the blond heroine. "Hahaha! I can't believe that worked!" Robert shouted in disbelief. "Now! Taste my sword, fiend!" As Shiro's special began to end, Robert quickly turned his character around and began to slash and stab at the back of the defenseless girl before quickly backing away again. "How do you like dem' apples?" the red-haired teen taunted, nudging Shiro with his elbow, as he activated his own character's taunt. The sword wielding character pointed his sword at his opponent and stepped forward to strike what would have been a heroic-looking pose, if not for the sudden appearance of a banana peel that surely hadn't been there before, causing his character to slip and fall on his face. "Well that's a strange taunt," Robert said as his character began to lift himself off the ground.

"Nonononononononono!" Robert shouted as Shiro began his onslaught of attacks and combos. It may have only been a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime to Robert, a lifetime of being unable to do anything. That didn't stop the redhaired teen from trying though, as he mashed the buttons and threw the analog stick in random directions hoping that he might get out of his horrible fate.

When the flurry of punches and jabs from Shiro's character finally did end, Robert was horrified by the amount of health his character had left. "That was like... three quarters of my health. Maybe more!" His wide-eyed expression soon turned to that of determination though as he truly realized the skill of his opponent. "If I'm going to lose, you can be darn sure that I'm not going down without a fight!" Robert cried before making his character charge forward. As soon as he was in range, he began to rapidly tap the "jab" button with his index finger before backing away. His strategy was to now go for hit-and-run attacks. In no way did he expect to win with this strategy, but it should keep Shiro from getting a perfect match.

Ass-kicking.

Starfire

By the way, not everyone who isn't boarding the Babylon are going into their fighters. We're going to need people in the Alamo to protect it from boarders as well. It obviously won't be the main target of pirates and any XRF that may or may not follow, but it would be a target nonetheless.

Starfire

Hey can the animorph blue centaur guy talk to humans without his telepathy?

@Prince of Seraphs

They don't appear to have mouths, so I don't believe so. You'd obviously have to talk to @Raxacoricofallapatorius for confirmation though.

Sorry ladies and gents, was supposed to be off today. That ended up not happening. Expect a post later today.

@harinezumikouken

Robert eagerly awaits the ass kicking to come.

Starfire

The Alamo was surrounded by flames as it hit Teta's atmosphere, its heat shields holding up effortlessly against the reentry temperature of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Those inside would have barely noticed the difference as they exited the vacuum of space thanks to the advancements of technology over the past several centuries. The Alamo touched down on one of the many landing pads inside the towering walls of the Imperial fortress, gathering the attention of a few nearby engineers and officers. John was the first to step off the ramp that had lowered from the bottom of the hull. "You rang," he said, looking at the most important looking man nearby.

"You with Starfire?" the man asked, the insignia on his uniform showing his rank as colonel. The only response he got from John was a short nod. "Alright then, follow the warrant officer here. He'll take you to the Babylon," he responded, signaling toward another nearby Imperial officer. The warrant officer saluted toward the colonel before turning and leading whoever from Raptor Squad wanted to follow to their contractors.

As the group approached the familiar site of a Yamikov-Fujikawa transport ship, the team's escort stopped and pointed. "The captain is right over there, speak to him for further details," he explained before leaving to take care of other duties, most likely defensive preparations for the incoming XRF forces. The Babylon IV's captain looked like any other civilian you'd pass on the street, completely unremarkable in any way, shape, or form. However, it was quite obvious that the man was extremely agitated. An incoming, large-scale attack will usually do that to a person.

"H-hello, I'm Captain Garret Dewitt. Are you the mercenaries hired to protect us?" he asked timidly.

"Sure are. Is all the cargo aboard? We ready for take-off?" John replied.

"Y-yeah, we're all set. Just wai-" he began, before the sound of a large explosion drowned him out. The XRF's siege had begun. Captain Dewitt ran for his life toward the open ramp that led up to Babylon IV.

Meanwhile, John, completely unfazed by the sounds of battle, turned towards the rest of Raptor Squad. "I suggest at least three people join him to protect the Babylon from boarders. Everyone else head back to the Alamo before one of those mortar shells gets us or the ship. Let's move it people!" he ordered before sprinting back the way they came.

Starfire

Can I make a second character?

@Prince of Seraphs

For now I'd like to keep us at a one characters per player ratio. Maybe once we progress farther in and when we don't have anyone waiting on the waiting list I'll allow multiple characters, but not yet.

Starfire

If there's anything anyone wants to do before the mission starts, I suggest doing it soon. If everyone's okay with it, I'm going to make a post tomorrow of the ship landing and the mission officially beginning. If you need more time for whatever you want, just say so and I can extend it.

@PyroDash888 I temporarily forgot this RP based on RWBY and thought to myself, "Yeah right, like that could ever happen. The only time you'd ever see that happen would be in some over-the-top action or sports anime... Oh, wait."
