Mega Man X Rp: Mission 2, Protect the City!

[Cyrus Knight]

((DAMN IT! I'm tired, angry, and the damn forum eats my post! Grrr.... Sorry if this is lower quality...))

Two mavericks remained. One heading towards Crazy 8, and one locked in battle with the blades.

As the former neared its position, visibly leaking fluids from its hole, blaster fire from one side knocked it off course. Suddenly shifting its course, it charged at K'Tan, the source of the blaster fire. As it continued along, it began to slow down, as each successive shot impacted. No less than two meters away from the hunter, the maverick hit the ground with a thud, its energy blasted and drained out.

Meanwhile, the final maverick was doing battle with the two blades of Delpha's unit. Now at its full potential, it was more than a match for the two hunters. However, Cryo and Molotov (that is what Breacher is, right?) were nearing. Perhaps their assistance could turn the battle.

Impact and Shrapnel arrived at the location, where Slash Swordfish was working over the device allready. All three of them began to analyze the device together "What if that-" "Maybe this could be-" "Perhaps we should-". Such conversation continued on as the three demolitions experts attempted to disarm the machine.

Cryo was the first of K'Tan's unit to reach the battle between the maverick and the blades, just as it began to get ugly. Unleashing a chraged freeze blast from behind, the maverick's head and shoulders were quickly encased in a block of ice. Seeing the opportunity, one of the blades came up next to the now mostly immobile maverick, and easily thrust his weapon through its power core without it deflecting the attack.

Back with the demolitions team, the device suddenly began to become active. "Shit! It's beginning to warm up, whatever it is, it was linked to the power cores of the mav's!"

The machine lit up to an extreme brightness, and as it reached its pitch, a wave of energy shot outward. In a moment, everything turned black.

But wait! Something is wrong! None of the r'oids registered any damage. Although none of their optic sensores registered anything, all of their other senses were intact, although they were now cut off from cummincations outside of their group. And they were all now in very close proximity, as if something had pulled all the nearby reploids to it (even chimera and his two subordinates). And although none were certain, everyone felt something coming. But for a moment, they have a reprive, to recuperate.

(__WARNING! WARNING!____)
(BOSS BATTLE APPROACHING!)

K'Tan glances around uneasily, trying to make out anything at all. Something is wrong. Very wrong. He quickly opens a private channel to the other group leaders to prepare for whatever is coming.

[MFD]

MFD's team readied their weapons.

There were twenty-six 'ploids... this thing would have to be tough for there to be a problem.

[Just Jon]

"Squad, ready for incoming..."

The team redied their own weapons, moving back to back to watch one another.

[Knight]

"All units in position... call out any movement you pick up..."

[Cyrus Knight]

The darkness is suddenly shattered, when something seems to slash through the nothingness, giving light to the area, which still seems entirely black, with the exception of the reploids, this new addition, and what caused it...

Right below the gash in space, was the end of a scythe. It appeared normal, with the exception of looking as if it had just been superheated. It was glowing red, and some vapor came off of it. Further behind it was the body of the scythe, which although it appeared to be wood, obviously wasn't. Grasping the scythe was a clawed, black hand. This reploid was reptilian in construction, although colored completely black, and on its back were two large spreading wings...

Boss - Void Dragon
((Sorry for the unoriginal sprite, I had a hard time with the scythe.))

It was looking downwards, not at the hunters themselves, but at his scythe. Still facing partially away, it began to speak, "Welcome, you foolish hunters. Welcome to a place you shall never escape... My master Theta planned for such a long time for a way to defeat you, X and Zer- Oh?" During its speech, it had finally looked up, and was shocked at what it saw. "Oh, come now. We steal something that your scientists cannot determine, make threats about mass destruction, murdering your precious humans, and they send NOBODIES?!"

ith this final word, the creature's wings spread out of maximum length, and gave off an eerie sheen. At the same time, it thrust its scythe upwards, which gave of a quick, yet dramatic glare.

Seeming to slightly relax, Void Dragon pointed its weapon at the hunters; "Well it is fitting that they send nothings... for this place, nothing itself, shall be your tomb... Though, it does not seem complete. Before I destroy you, perhaps you fools would like to hear about this place. Or should we just commence with the slaughter?" With this, the creatures red eyes seemed to glow, and its long snout seemed to smirk...

[Knight]

The three Hunter teams have formed a defensive circle in the darkness, with the support and long-range firepower robots surrounded by the stronger combat units.

K'Tan has ended up on the far side of the formation from the giant Maverick and decides to take advantage of this fact. A quick signal to Cryo provides a possible distraction.

Cryo hesitantly speaks up. "Well, I'm certainly in no hurry to die... and I'm sure this place has a fascinating history..."

Refraining from chuckling at Cryo's terrified act, K'Tan activates his stealth systems and slips into the shadows, becoming just another part of the surrounding inky blackness.

[MFD]

As Void Dragon began his speech, MFD began to ponder things.

They're trying to trap X? And they sent this guy... who's not much more than your usual mav boss. Whatever...

Damn, but these mavs like to talk... now, do I go with the Trident, the MSTAR, or the ESPIKE?

MFD shifted to his purple and orange color scheme, and waited.

Chi Rho steadied his blaster, amused at the irony that a priest was again to destroy a servant of evil.

Red Liger, grateful to be rid of the water, set his claws alit with flame.

Omega Hare, terrified, just stood there. Waiting.

Black Mamba chuckled at Chryo's comments, and got into a battle position.

Brute Rhino grunted, and lowered his head.

Slash Swordfish drew two swords, and shifted his stance. He was the closest to the Dragon.

Night Angel, with powers similar to the darkness-forming energy of Dragon, was not phased. He flew into the air when he saw Dragon teleport in, and prepared to fire off shots from the sky.

((And thanks goes to Cyrus the reminder about this. BUMP!))
