Red

Designated Hitters and Relief Pitchers II


Even though it was expected that Red would be quiet, the Transistor had gone strangely silent among the various calculations and literal assists he provided for his handler. They didn't take a moment to rejoice at the sight of their opponent's blood squirting from his shoulder nor when the Transistor found depth in the knight's wrist.

Since Red now had a sense of the man's surprising speed, the knight's swift retaliation was more recognizable and she was prepared for the sudden bursts of speed. With the knight's thrust, Red leaped with a slight spin in the direction of the Transistor, so she'd be facing the man's wounded wrist. Even when not in a compromised position and prepared for it, the knight's sword still chipped against Red's outer shield, signaling the near miss.

She reached with her free hand to grab the Transistor as she passed by. Now gripping the handle with both hands she used what was left of her momentum to help pull her weapon free from being lodged in the knight's wrist. It came free with a jerk that Red had accounted for and with her weapon now free she swung it around her side and up above her head in one fluid move before bringing it down, aiming to chop the man's forearm clean off right at the elbow.

@R0bE0 GM has grown a little too quiet, no?
I'll post when Pirroutete does.

Designated Hitters and Relief Pitchers


The tin man was surprisingly quick. He managed to turn and guard against Red's strike, which garnered a little notice from the singer. However it was the knight's punch that ended up cementing the whole 'surprisingly quick' notion. The knight was able to sneak his punch through Red's guard as she wasn't ready for such a quick counterattack.

Two important but subtle things happened that prevented that one punch from being the knockout homerun, however. If the knight, through his bloodcurdling rage, was acutely aware of his touch, he would notice that about an inch away from impact an invisible force slowed, but did not stop, his armored fist's momentum. That was Bounce()'s shield breaking, which it was supposed to do as it lessened the damage that Red would take. A slight shimmer would wave out from the point of impact for a brief moment before becoming transparent again. The second thing was as the metal gauntlet continued its path, now slowed, it would hit a second invisible layer just a hair from reaching Red's actual body. Again the same sensation would happen, the punch would slow and another faint glimmer would signify a second shield layer. However, this one did not protect Red from experiencing the force of the fast moving heavy hit, which already was pushing her off her feet and into the air. But finally, the knight's punch would finally hit Red, but at a severely reduced impact, but it still felt like a pretty hard gut punch.

The punch would knock Red back and up into the air a little but she quickly recovered with a use of Jaunt(), teleporting to stop her momentum to land gently on her feet. She hoisted her sword up onto her shoulder and rested for a moment. There was a purpose to this move as a faint whisper muttered from the pulsing blue sword. "Damn, Red. Heavy hitter. Watch yourself. Go easy for a minute, too." It was a code so even if someone had acute hearing, they probably couldn't actually really make sense of it, but to Red, it was the Transistor providing useful data that only a computer could calculate.

Red shot a smirk over to Roy who was now getting comfortable with his commentary. That's why Red was here. A relief pitcher for the home team. After giving Transistor and herself a minute, she went back on the offensive.

She took a few slow steps forward before charging in a full sprint. It was only a farce and when she was just out of reach, she used Jaunt() to teleport three stories above the knight so that it would seem she were trying to land on top of him. She quickly pointed the Transistor down, aiming for the top of the knight's help. The Transistor began to increase in glow as it charged it's Breach() shot, an armor and shield sniper shot of sorts. Once Red was only about a story and a half from the ground, did she fire a thin blue laser from the tip of the Transistor.

With no intentions of continuing her free fall, she would use Jaunt() to teleport nearby regardless of Breach() hitting or not. Her teleportation would put her close to the knight and she would attempt to swing her sword and cut the man in half.

Err... ran out of time.

Tomorrow!

So after a long exhaustive internal debate, I finally decided to break up your characters' date. I hope that's alright. :/

Never Been in a War before...



"Alright prepare to drop!" A man called out over the intercom of dropship. Clearly it was time to get ready for the troops inside but there was only one rider. She, of course, arose from her seat, walked to the rear hatch of the clunking metal ship, and waited for her cue.

"You know, Red, you don't have to do this... A low hum of her companion called out from his mysterious blue glow. His voice was always soothing and even now she felt a trickle of that peace of paradise that was so wrongfully robbed from them both. But despite what her companion had said, she had to do this. She made a promise and she always kept her promises.

She could feel the ship shift and eventually come to a halt before the screeching sound of the door began to drown out the sounds of the ship's engines. Once the door was fully open, the ex-singer carefully stepped over to the edge of the door, to get a glance of what she was going to be dropping into. The height of the ship made everything on the ground look miniature, save for a few larger bodied entities, but the action was clearly distinguishable. For moment, Red hesitated. She wasn't a solider, just a singer. Sure there was her whole experience of the Process but nothing was ever on this scale.

"... Heh. I'd be nervous, too. Hearing his voice again helped Red take that final step forward so her toes were hanging off. "Whatever you decide, Red, I'll be with you. Always. And that was what she needed to lean forward and fall.

Skydiving was kind of a new experience to Red but she kind of felt the whole thing invigorating. She closed her eyes for a moment and focused on the rush of the wind blowing past. It would be the last moment of peace she'd have before whatever awaited her down there. "Alright Red. It's time. Red opened her eyes and focused them towards the ground, scanning for a clearing in the action. There needed to be one, otherwise, Red could accidentally Jaunt() right into harm's way. Her companion was the first to find an opening. "Red, I found a spot. When you're ready." Of course he needed her to be ready because she only she could activate the Transistor to perform its various functions. In this case, Jaunt() which would allow Red to teleport a short distance anywhere, with or without her current momentum. Makes it very handy for jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.

The moment Red made drew the mental image of her teleporting, she almost instantly appeared in a flash on the battleground, losing all her previous moment to land gently on her feet. Curious and a bit nervous about where she was, she glanced around seeing that an opening had cleared in a battle between two fighters. One in armor and the other in none. The one without appeared to be having it rough after being rammed by the armored man. "Roy Mustang. Nice guy. The other one, not so much." Red knew that he wasn't talking about their personalities but he was cluing her to the alliances of both figures.

Red took a few careful steps forward before using Jaunt() to teleport to the side of both fighters. She went in, following Roy's attack by charging towards the knight's side, swinging her large sword up over head and down towards the ground.
