Know Your Enemy

The moment the Announcement was over, I called Yan, he use to be a member of their military and probably could give me info on how the Halions could affect future jobs, the both of us had to wait a while before he showed up and sat down across from us. The big guy leaned forwards and started talking.
"I heard the announcement earlier at the gym the general in charge of this sector will end up forcibly removing the P.Ks, then replace them with their own. The soldiers that will end up on the streets will be a mix of Halions, Ausar, Rask, and Askoii."

"Askwhoo?" Ash tried to repeat the word.

"Askoii." He corrected." They were the first race my people came in contact with, they assumed my people were humans at first, but after learning their language and protecting their people from pirates, both our race and theirs saw eye to eye."

"So they are the big horned people with the gray skin." I wanted to cut the big guy off before he would go on about his people's "Rich history of bloodshed."

" Yeah, they are." He confirmed." They have two fingers and a thumb on their hand, the women of their race are pretty fast runners, while the men are just like Halions, big tough and sometimes just dumb. They have these black nails on their fingers that look almost like claws, they sometimes use their horns to gore people, and yes they do lift people up off the ground with their horns after goring them through the gut or chest."
I held up my hands after he spoke about their physiology." I don't need to know about the people, just what we might have to go up against when we get some work."

The Halion scanned the restaurant with his black and blue eyes he ran a hand through his blonde hair and leaned back into the booth before looking back at us." I know how you don't like me repeating myself, we wait for everyone else, and then I'll tell everyone." I agreed with the big alien guy.

I Jumped in front of the growing line of people getting a bunch of people yelling at me and some even swearing at me before I got to Ven I told the ausar to take the graveyard shift so we all could talk about something. The dog woman fought her urge to leap across the counter to tear me apart like some rabid dog and took a moment to recollect herself then put on a welcoming smile." Welcome Mcburger world sir, how may I take your order?"

Taking that as a yes, I went back over to Yan and Ash, the big guy began telling us about the tall gray Ox people. The guy went on and on about their mannerism, culture, and physiology. While he spoke, I began to wonder how many aliens did I know in our galaxy and if they were modded or not."But most of all, they hate gene modification, the Askoii believe it's best to be yourself and not striving to remove what made you, you."

While the two of us almost struggled to hear the rest, nightfall came quick and soon the others were showing up. The moment Bates showed up, Ven made sure to lock her co-workers in the break room, when Ash asked if they would be okay Ven blew her off saying."They'll be fine, most of the time they are in the back fucking because Tiffany had to get Treated."

Yan slammed his hand on the table." Listen up, with this new change of the Hallion forces swooping in we're gonna be fighting a force a stronger than the usual Peacekeepers."

The guy took a moment before he started going over the Hallions." Okay when it comes down to off-world peacekeeping or law enforcement, there will be a couple types we will encounter during our contracts in the future on this planet."

"Okay, number one the grunts or rather frontline forces, they are mostly medium to lightly armored units that will carry rifles, and use omnidirectional mobility packs to keep up with criminals." He put up a second finger and before he could speak Noi tried to repeat the last couple words.

"Omi...Oni...Obi."

"Omnidirectional mobility packs." He corrected her." They are similar to jetpacks, but blast pressurized air and combined with grappling hooks make them almost impossible to escape from."

"Next is the standard shield unit, nothing much about them besides they carry shields. Third are the combat medic unit, they usually don't see the combat part and take wounded from the front lines to a place of safety while armed."

"Sounds like a normal S.W.A.T Peacekeeping unit with extra gear." Ven interrupted.

"I'm not finished. We also have Capture units, members that use non-lethal weapons similar to Rangers they mount arch casters to lasers set to stun or guns firing rubber bullets. Next, there are mech units operated by mostly Ausar."

I looked at the big guy and asked him if there was any more to them.

"We may be fighting these guys with the same tactics as the old police, but these guys will be... Better."

"I don't care how better these guys think they are." Bates lit up a cigarette." If they get in my way or if I find a reason to, I'll put them down like anyone else in my way."

I grabbed my chin and leaned back in the booth, even with the info given to me I wanted, no, I needed a little more, I needed to see how they would respond to robberies, but I didn't want to risk getting into a fight I couldn't handle or we couldn't handle.
Fast and Furious

While Ven started setting up the short cut for us and Bates disappeared decided to go around the back through the shop's employee parking lot. The cars around the back weren't as flashy or good looking as the cars inside, and I'd rather not fuck with them at the risk of breaking the stealth at the moment. I crouched down between two of the hover cars as Bates spoke into my earpiece."I found the key box." he told me before Ven spoke into the piece next." Okay the charges are set up for the short cut, what am I to do now?" She asked. I put two fingers in my ear telling the ausar."Just wait for the signal and run inside, make sure you aren't next to or standing on the charges so you don't blow yourself up." I told her.

I don't know if she felt angered by what I said or insulted, but."Do you think I'm Noi or something? I'm not that stupid." I then shushed the dog woman as I closed in on a back door and started fiddling with the lock." Don't start yelling and barking you'll break the stealth for me and Bates, and someone might come around on the block and see you, we don't need the cops arresting a crazy ausar foaming at the mouth and yelling at the sky." I told her as I unlocked the door and pulled myself into what looked like a trash room. I didn't need to see Ven's face to know she wanted to yell at me over the link, but she knew I was right and shut herself down, if I could only see her face it would've made me chuckle.

The trash room led out into a stairwell, and there was a door leading to the rest of the first floor, I began picking the lock knowing that the door leads to the showroom floor, as I heard the lock click I felt someone behind me and soon they touched my shoulder and acting quick I spun around throwing my back to the door with one of my hammer pistols drawn, but it was only Bates he wasn't bothered by me pointing a gun at him and just moved it away from his face." So that's how you got in here." He spoke casually. I put my gun away before asking him how he got in." I climbed up a pipe on the other side of the building and went across the roof."

He cracked the door open slightly to get a look at how many people were outside the showroom, he closed it quietly telling me there are mostly civilians out there, but too many for the three of us, I started to wonder if Akira was here we could tie everyone up." The box for the keys aren't that far, if we act fast and get into the manager's office we could get the keys, but we'd have to get Ven over here."

I groaned before pulling my guns out."Fuck it, fast and furious it is then." I kicked the door to the showroom down and rushed into the room, I fired off two shots into the ceiling getting everyone's attention." Alright, everyone be cool this is a-" from the second floor a guard shot me in the chest and threw me off my feet, the wind was knocked out of me and quickly Bates threw what looked like a knife at the guy's head and helped me to my feet; it was moments like this I was glad to have bought a bulletproof vest. Once I got back to my feet, Bates sprinted off to the manger's office as if his ass was on fire, and soon Ven arrived with her lame ass laser pistol, and what felt like a split second, Bates came back and threw a set of keys at the both of us.

I caught my pair, as Ven's pair smacked her in the face and hit the ground." Blow it!" I yelled to the Ausar as she fumbled with her keys, she pressed a button on her codex and the ground shook as the three of us jumped into the sports cars, we charged the hover cars through the glass and down the hole Ven made; it took us down into a series of snake like tunnels with more construction equipment sitting idle, I took up in front of the two leading them to the shipping yard. Wanting to tell Yan on how well we did, I called him up on the info link." Yan we're heading to you guys now have the containers open and ready." Instead of hearing his gruff voice on the other end I just heard static, I shrugged knowing that whatever the problem was Yan could handle. Once we came to the end of the tunnel and to the shipping yard. The first thing I spotted when exited the tunnel was a figure in some sleek gray tactical body armor, a pair of dark goggles; in one of his hands he held a black modified ZK rifle with a silencer attached to the barrel, tight in his other hand was a long dark baton; at his feet were the bodies of Ash, Noi, and Yan, all three of them taken down by this spooky looking motherfucker.

Slamming my foot on the gas, I remembered that I would need to thank Yan Later for having us steal hover cars instead of ground ones, I aimed the car for the night ops looking motherfucker and he jumped over my car as if he was clearing a hurdle or just leaping over a small gap. I hit the brakes just as he landed on Ven's car filled the hood with bullets and making her car lose control and crash into a wall of containers; I stepped out of my car as the spec-ops dude hopped from the car, and Bates pulled up and hopped out of his car knife at the ready, in the middle of us stood the guy still holding the ZK rifle in his one hand, he glanced at me, then set his sights on Bates.

If this guy was another Ranger, I would have to reconsider Bate's position on the crew, but if he was a Ranger I'd have to wonder why he has a gun; But before I could keep thinking about who he could be running with, I noticed that he threw a grenade my way. I pulled both my guns and fired at the guy before a bright flash of white light blinded me, my eyes burned like a roaring fire like somebody put a lit cigarette out in them. Tears began streaming down my face as I felt a heavy object hit me in the shoulder and make me drop like a sack of loot, when my vision came to I spotted the guy with his baton raised high about to hit me again, but right as my eyes cleared up Ven pounced on the guy's back and nearly sent him tumbling to the ground.

I took the moment to get to my feet and wanted to shoot the guy, but with Ven getting a piggy back ride, I didn't want to hit the fluffy girl, she had work tomorrow. I put the guns away rushing the guy, only to run into a kick to the face and get Ven thrown on me, the both of us tumbled to the ground with the goggled agent towering over us; then he surprised me by turning away from the both of us to be greeted by Bate's knife to his stomach.

The knife only slid across the fabric of his clothes, before Bates could even act, the guy delivered a punch to Bate's nose and shot him in the shoulder; instead of hearing the crackling of shields, the bullet from the modified ZK rifle ripped through Bate's shoulder leaving a nasty wound, he was using shredder rounds. I tossed Ven's furry ass off my back and ran in for a sucker punch, but the second I got close to both of them, he swung his baton my way, keeping the blunt weapon out towards me, but." You should work smarter, not harder." A heavily robotic like voice emerged from the guy as he slightly turned his head my way.

I tried to quickly draw my pistols ready to shoot the guy in the back, only for him to kick me, back onto Ven and put a foot onto my chest." Listen here, I've got this drum solo I've been working on!" He raised his baton high and before he could club me with his baton, or I could shoot him; Noi surprised me with her saw, she cut the baton in half with a clean slice then sliced the guy's stomach with the energy infused saw. The spec ops guy leaped away from the cat girl and aimed his rifle at Noi only to hesitate for an awkward amount of time and put his sliced baton away."Wow, that was a nice workout! I think I'll have a protein drink and hit the showers!"

Before I could shoot the guy, he pulled some weird glassy cloak across his body, the moment he disappeared, I fired several shots where he was only for each bullet to hit a wall missing him." The fuck just happened!" I yelled out.

Yan pulled himself off the ground covered in bruises."No time!" He spat a bloody loogie before telling us."Get the two cars into the marked containers, The cops could be on their way to our position right now."
Kris


Just as Kris expected, the convict's group was formed upon a fragile alliance, they weren't together working for their new found freedom but all working towards just getting free through any means; when the speaker managed to throw his arms around the golden haired princess she didn't have time to react and try to escape before both of them fell to the floor and Kris heard a sword go through the man running him through, a small bead of sweat ran down Kris' forehead as the blade's point met her armor and barely penetrated through it.

Feeling a bit of luck come over her as the others began attacking the convicts, Kris attempted to throw the dead convict off her and a slight thought appeared in the back of her mind, if they were to escape, would our group end up like this? Or would those bug beast get to us first? The though ran around her head making her wonder if this group would all get killed if she didn't think straight or if they all didn't.

Her thoughts were then put to rest when smoke began to fill her lungs, she then noticed the room was getting filled up with smoke, she wondered if Diana was to blame for this or Scar and suddenly someone pushed the dead guy from over top of her and got her to her feet, the person pulled her through the new found cloud of smoke and behind the others.

Kris cracked her neck as she was behind the others and noticed she was holding hands with Macy, she looked at the other woman nodding and thanking her before looking to the others." I think we need someone put these people on their ass, Diana get in front and use one of your shouts to knock down the rest, we can then push then capture them." Kris' eyes then went to Hawke." Big guy break a hole in the wall to the outside, the hole will rid us of the smoke but it might leave us open for those things outside flying about, do or don't it's all up to you if you want to."
Kris



As the others were fighting the bug creatures up close, Kris decided to put the crossbow she found earlier to use and launch bolts at the creatures from a far as the others would distract them with their attacks. While Hawke and Macy actually made progress against the bugs with their attacks Kris' bolts kept meeting the chitin of the large insect creatures bound on killing the group.

When she went to reload the her crossbow Firebrand decided to take their turn to attack the massive horde with their power of the voice, in an instant the dragon woman set the bug creatures alight with a shout and made quick work of the group or what was left of it and at the same time she minorly harmed two of their party members, Kris would have to remember this.

Sighing after everything Kris dropped the crossbow and put her sword on her shoulder running out of ammunition, she wondered how many of these monsters were among the tower's guard and how the warden managed to hide himself away from the monsters and possibly escapees.

The fallen princess wondered if there were secret passage ways around the tower they could use to just simply leave then the group came upon a grizzly sight; two guards, dead by their own hand, with one guard shot through the chest with their own bolt. Before Kris could investigate into this further there were a couple of the prisoners who surprisingly survived the experience with the bug people.

Before any of the party could even speak up, the prisoners claimed the floor as their own, telling the party they had to give up their gear and weapons, Kris wanted to diplomatic, but something in her fired up and just brought her to her boiling point.

Quickly hitting the prisoner in the middle with the pommel of her sword and using all of her weight to knock him down to the floor, she quickly brought the tip of the sword under his chin drawing a small drop of blood; her usually calm face was twisted into a grimace of rage and vexation.

"If you two bit, no three bit prisoners were worth your weight in metal than you were in wits then you would yield to any being that doesn't jump you first that comes from the top of this tower!" She stared into the man's eyes holding the blade of her sword to have the point run down his chin and touch the soft flesh of his neck." I didn't grab my equipment again just for some fool who's been cooped up in this tower to use it as his own! Use your brains and keep yourself from getting killed by someone half your age old man."
Kris



Out of nowhere things started to quickly move, as quickly as Kris had told Mace to go out and find the keys, was almost as quickly as she came back and with someone else. Before Kris could even ask the man's name or even ask if was a part of their group he had already armed himself and took test swings with his blade, noticing the door locked Kris' mind first went that he wouldn't be able to swing his sword to well in such an enclosed space so they could easily beat him if they were to all rush him together.

But right before she could yell at them to stop Hawke the door both he and Mace came from ended up being slammed into by an unknown being, Kris only thought that Mace and the guy probably ended up getting in trouble and the guards were here to put them back into their cells, but her thoughts on that were put to rest once she heard a thump on the window.

The princess' eyes went wide once she spotted the monsterous creature, but she kept calm and didn't panic, she took the keys from Macey's hands, doing her best to not linger or touch Macey, and quickly used the keys one by one till she got a click and a full turn and opened the door to the Armory." Everyone! get your equipment and don't linger, these beast will be coming in soon and I don't intend on any of us dying." Then she dashed into the armory, quickly grabbing her sword and putting on her breast plate, she grabbed one of the guard's repeating crossbows knowing that it could be of some use to them.

" Everyone! Stake your lives on this fight! Our survival demands that we stake our lives on this fight! And to survive, is to be victorious!" The words came from her almost like someone else was saying them." Amongst the thousands of comrades and the tens of thousands of enemies, there is nobody I'd rather face them with than you lot, and yes, even you Scar." She gave a toothy grin to them all even Hawke.

She wasn't gonna let this stop her, this was merely another speed bump on the road to her kingdom, these monsters or beast were like the rest, bodies to be used as stepping stones to her kingdom, they were all gonna be used to get her back there, but first she needed to keep the people with her on her side and alive till they could scale up to her kingdom together.

On the other hand this new guy she stared at his large frame for a moment before focusing on the door and holding her blade with both hands could be or might be a problem, for the first time she glanced at him with an inquisitive stare before giving Hawke a more relaxed look and warm smile." Sir will you give us aid in this battle?" She asked him." If it's not too much to ask."
don't listen to tim he's with zel
He's lying! Don't join!
Merius Tacktheritrix



Femto stalked up the trail they found earlier, sniffing at the scent nose almost deep into side of the snow before lifting his head up and getting a pet on the neck from Merius, the dire wolf kept himself quiet and low as he brought Merius upon a group of goat men in their home, the cave was damp and did little to protect from the elements, but the shelter wasn't what was really important, it was the five goat men that were staring them all down. The neko riflewoman decided to take action first, she didn't want to give these monsters a chance in getting at her first, Merius grit her teeth and leaped from Femto's saddle into the air, the first shot from her rifle rang out like a thunderous strike inside the cave, the shot being so loud Merius flattened her ears down to her skull trying to protect her ears, squeezing her eyes even from the pain of the ringing in her ears.

When she forced her eyes open and bared her teeth, she noticed some of the goat men were holding their ears in pain from the first shot, and noticing where her shot connected it only wounded one of the goat men with a leg shot. The moment she squeezed the trigger for the second shot Merius began wondering if Kira and Nebuchi were okay doing their jobs and figured she would have to make this fight quickly to get back with them. Merius looked back to Femto shaking his head and getting his bearings, Merius pointed two fingers forwards towards the group of goat men who were regaining their hearing, Femto bared his teeth and snarled before charging towards them and knocking one down and tried closing his teeth around their neck to maul them.

Unsheathing her bayonet she placed the knife on the end of her rifle and charged at them jamming her bayonet into the goat man's chest making the muzzle press against the monster's skin before pulling back on the trigger quickly and shooting him off her bayonet and back onto the wounded shaman goat man. The moment Merius looked over to Femto, she could see that the goat man was becoming a snack for him and staining his coat with dark crimson blood around his jaws. Seeing the wounded goat man squirming under his dead comrade, Merius stabbed her bayonet through the the squirming goat man's head and finished him off.

The last two goat men that were in the cave rushed right by Merius and Femto running outside in an attempt to escape from the two, the neko didn't bother chasing as the cave outside led downwards, Merius walked to the mouth of the cave and loaded two more rounds into her rifle staying calm as the two goat men retreated. The neko aimed their rifle at the two firing one shot at the back of the goat men, when the shot connected the bullet acted as if it was a couple calibers higher than it originally was, the monster man's guts were spilled out and he bleated to his ally making him stop in his tracks before Merius took her next shot and the goat man's head exploded like a watermelon splattering the snow with red goat man brains.

"High ground." Merius breathed out before scooping up some snow in both hands and making sure it didn't have any goat man inside of it before placing it into her mouth and wrapping herself in the white blanket."Femto!" The big wolf stepped to her side and she stepped up into the saddle and laid into Femto's back to camouflage into him."Come on boy, we gotta make sure the dark elf and the kitten haven't gotten hurt, don't need Zealous getting angry or sad over his old guild mates dying."

As Femto started to go down the mountain and head in the direction of where Kira and Nebuchi would be, he stopped himself and cocked his head in a different direction and looked over to a direction Merius couldn't see; breaking her coverage she leaned up and looked over in the same direction he was and noticed it was someone's npc she couldn't guess who's but figured she was lost." Alright boy, go get her." The wolf leaped in swift movements to close in on Syleste and even knocked her over standing over top of the girl sniffing her like a big friendly dog. While he was having his fun Merius leaped off her mount's back and let him have his fun while she kept going on her own, if she needed him she could just whistle for him.

When she rushed back to Kira and Nebuchi she heard one of the goat men's weird gibberish words and noticed that the two were surrounded; Merius bared her teeth and gripped her rifle tighter, she was glad she left her bayonet on and charged through some of them stabbing one in the back and getting next to Kira and Nebuchi." If your too dumb to threaten us in our own language, your too dumb to even threaten us." Merius responded to one of them.

Kris



Kris held her tongue when it came to her cohort with the animal like ears atop his head, she knew that in order for them to escape she would need to have as many people as possible in order to... She noticed that Scar was about to put the moldy sandwich into his mouth and even after what he said to her earlier she considered just letting him eat the mold and make himself sick.

The moment as she opened her mouth to stop him he was already chewing on it with some of the mold picked off, she sighed shaking her head at the sight." Scar, there was a larder on the floor below us, I remember seeing it when they first brought us here." She told him glancing up at the massive blade once more." It's packed with food and if we're lucky it could still be fresh." She told the cat man.

Out of nowhere Diana decided to use her voice magic on the door to the warden's room, quickly reacting to the situation, Kris grabbed the cat man and pulled him out of the way and into her arms as fast as she could as the attack collided with the door and turn it into nothing more than splinters.

Kris sighed and let go Scar, she looked to the dragon woman giving her a more stern look."Diana be more careful where you are attacking, if I wasn't fast enough you could've hurt or killed Scar, have a bit of patients and allow him to move." Kris stared at the monster woman not breaking eye contact as she spoke with her and didn't break a sweat.

The knight then made a mental not of how Diana did her attacks and knew she might need to keep more of an eye on her." Macy since you are the only one armed could you scout to the lower floor and give us an idea of how it looks below?" Kris asked her.
Kris



Kris almost lost her composure when her hand was brushed away and ignored, but Macy still agreed to help her making Kris smile once again."Well then I suggest we work together to break down the door once outside we'll take on." Before Kris could continue there was a loud crash outside making her lay eyes on the door and suddenly their cell was broken into and it was one of the group's members, Diana she had escaped with Scar and grabbed Kris' hand she mentioned Kris' dream before mentioning that they had to escape and grabbing Kris' hand, Kris grabbed Macy by her shirt and pulled her ahead of them before they could leave her behind.

Outside the cell they found out that there wasn't any other guards to stop them, in fact it looked almost abandoned." Hmm, whatever is going on here must be incredibly important to drag away all the floor guards, I think we may need to leave through an alternate exit, whatever is going on it must be something intense." Kris suggested before grabbing one of the potion bottles swishing it's contents around and looking at the other equipment on the table, her eyes were then drawn to the massive blade laid up against the wall she nearly chuckled at it's colossal size, It was too big to be called a great sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and looking far too rough, it was a heap of raw iron with a handle.

"Either the warden loves massive swords, or these guards have golems that can wield massive swords." Her eyes went to the doors nearby and she approached them, the one that was a thick metal vault made Kris go to it first and knock on the metal, it was solid from her knocks nothing they couldn't break through like our cell doors, Kris went to the door next to it and tried to open it, but was met with the lock." Someone check the desk for a key or keys for this door." She told the others.
