Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

"If it falls, then we enact plan B," Copper replied with a smirk. "Run like hell." Grave's words do get a chuckle out of her, especially as he smartmouth's to Burrito because, hey, it's funny. Catching sight of the ground troops moving into position, she whaps Grave lightly on the arm. "Biggest head count wins?"

Before she breaks rank, though, she turns to Burrito. "Permission to kick ass, Sir?" Though she was eager to get to it, the last thing she wanted to do was get in the way if he had something in mind.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Pale managed to catch just a little of that interlude, namely "Biggest head count", and with a smirk, she hops off Burrito's tank, canceling her shield now that debris seems to pose no -immediate- danger..

"Don't be worrying, folks! I'm sure we'll think of something.. Life is an opportunity, seize it while it lasts! Carpe diem! The life not fought for isn't worth fighting for!"

Under her breath, she mutters.

"...and all that cal."

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Grave grins as he glances at Copper. "Heh... If you wish to lose... I accept the challenge!" The warrior looked at Burrito, preparing to charge. "Permission to slag some bot, Sir?" It seemed that even if the answer was no, he'd begin the attack anyway.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

"Oooo!" With an almost evil smile, Tsuki went to work. She started to deactivate all the weapons, shields, and whatever propulsion system they had. She glanced over at Siphon. "Better do this quick and before he gets hurt more...."

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Burrito laughs loudly, reaching both hands down to touch his knees, a whirring sound emanating from them "Permission to beat the shit out of them granted!" he yells, taking off in a run, the servos in his legs put into overdrive as he charges at the bots that attack "Come on!" he yells, steamrolling through the lines with a massive grin on his face "Biggest body count wins!" he says over the radio distinct laughter also heard through the screams of dying bots

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Grave charged forward, cursing under his breath. He didn't like to lose, but this time he was competing with a cyborg and a vampire. Altough Grave was a strong warrior, he was just a human, so he didn't reach the bots before Burrito did. However, he was fueled by his frustration and determined to prove that he is the strongest one here. Grave's surroundins became a fountain of scrapmetal as soon as the warrior reached the bots. He dashed, stabbed, slashed and even clawed a couple of enemies to death with his gauntlets. If a regular human looked at Grave, he'd see nothing besides dying bots and a black, blurred silhouette that moved at high speed.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Carnage soon followed Burrito's charge as some bots were sliced in half, some got holes ripped in their bodies, and still others were simply vaporized when hit with the larger weaponry. Of course, there was barely a dent in the entire army of them, but the bodies already were beginning to pile up.


Tsuki's work paid off, as one by one the hive's weapons began shutting down. In her eye she could see that the Daedalus and the AA guns were still targeting only one spot, and now she might begin to see why. Access to the internal sensors of the hive would show her that the hull was beginning to buckle in the center of the ship, and massive stress fractures had formed. Simply put, the hive was on it's way to shattering in half, which would almost certainly destroy it. By now it had moved out far enough to pose no threat to the city if it did crash down, which was now seeming likely if they could just deal enough damage.


Siphon too had seen this through Daedalus, and commanded her once more to unleash her fury upon the hive. Beams and drones fired down, smashing into the already weak parts of the hive, and finally hitting home. At the same time though, the hive got off one last salvo of five shots before it's weapons shut down for good. These shots slammed into the shield of the Daedalus, flaring them up brightly, and dealing damage back to the smaller ship.

This of course was felt by both Shrike and Siphon, but he was aware enough of what was going on to shield her own mind and body in a hurry from what was going to happen. As the impacts rang through him, he was quite literally lifted off the ground by some kind of invisible force and thrown right through the lab walls. Being as they were made of what seemed to be a titanium alloy, this meant he had hit the wall with incredible force to punch through it as he did, and he was quickly out of view.


The combined efforts finally had their effect on the hive though. As a few more AA rounds hit it and the last of the drones expired, there was a horrible grating noise, audible even from where Pale, Grave, Copper and the Burrito were. If they chanced a look up they would notice the front part of the hive crack away from the back half, as the massive ship simply fractured in two, most of it vanishing in a massive explosion. Some parts of it survived, but what little did rained harmlessly down to the ground over a mile away, it's inertia carrying the debris away from any populated areas.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Burrito doesn't even stop his charge, He simply keeps his head down and his shoulders forward, acting as a large battering ram, mowing over any bots that decide to stand in his way "Out of the way, out of the way! Human steamroller comin through!" he yells, dashing past Grave and laughing as he continues his charge

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Grave growled and launched himself at a group of bots. They tried to fire at the warrior, but before they managed to lock on, it was too late. Grave simply ran forward, performing a slash whenever he passed a bot. Enemies fell down almost instantly. The warrior continued his assault, spreading death and destruction like a blaze.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

"Cheater!" Copper shouts as Burrito takes off ahead of them, tearing away, fast on his heels. Though she could have directed her body to increase its speed, she opted for strength instead. This was a marathon, not a sprint. A blade in each hand, she dances through the enemies, slicing and cutting in a black and white blur. The only flash of color is the occasional sparkle of the sequins on her shirt or if they happen to catch her gleaming eyes. Mentally, she is keeping count of how many of the things fall by her hand...or blades...or teeth, but most of her focus is on the next strike, where the next attack might be coming from, and also watching the backs of her commerades in the fight. Though she knew they could hold their own, any sneaky bastard with a lucky opening could prove fatal. Of course, taking them down was a good way to prevent that from happening.

She did take half a second to look up, hearing the rumble of the hive dividing in two, the lights from the myriad of explosions reflecting off of her shades. Hitting the radio, she laughs into it, "That counts as ONE!" before she's off and into the fray once again.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Siphon slowly got up to his feet, anger swelling inside of him. He had seen the destruction of his fellow comrades, and the massive horde of bots the survivors now faced. His body was banged in dozens of places, bleeding in several, yet somehow he was still able to get to his feet. Most likely it had to do with his recent feeding, but that would not last forever. Since he had gone through most of the walls and was now practically at the edge of the building anyways, he now stood and simply stalked his way out of the building, and into the streets, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Upon reaching the area where the ground battle was occurring, he paused briefly to survey the scene.

Burrito and Grave were like whirling dervishes, and Copper wasn't far behind them. The other humans though weren't quite as lucky, and a few were taken down by shots from weapons. This only fueled his anger to see friends and family cut down like this, and suddenly the battlefield was filled with one sound above all the others.

It would take a moment for the others to realize the noise they were hearing was coming from him roaring in a defiant, enraged bellow. It lasted for nearly forty seconds, during which time even the bots themselves snapped their pathetic heads up, seeming understanding too late they had angered something they should not have. When he had stopped, he paused only long enough to grab a pair of swords that had been left behind by a fallen comrade, and with one in each hand, proceeded to lay everything he had left on the line.

He wasn't vampiric fast, he wasn't as fast as a cyborg, and he certainly couldn't lob fireballs with his hands or extend the metal of the swords past their reach, but Siphon was ENRAGED. He waded into a grouping of about fifty and simply sliced them apart within seconds, seemingly with little effort. It would also become clear, he had only one thing on his mind right now, and that was to annihilate these bots. The problem was, despite the calculated critical blows, he appeared very much to be in berserk mode, and completely uncontainable. Every so often he would let out another, ten to fifteen second roar as he had before, usually after killing a mob of enemies. During this time the bots did attempt to shoot him, but it was likely most of them were taken out by the others before they could pull their triggers. The small eventual few that did manage to get shots off quickly found their weapons to be seemingly ineffective against the enraged hybrid.

The entire time though it would be evident by the coloring of his skin and the blood spurting out, he was most definitely injured, and not lightly either.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Shrike let's out a curse as Siphon is blasted out of her grip and through the wall, chasing him through the ragged hole and trying to mentally cusion him. She felt the Hive Ship crack, and clamps down on Siphon's mental control over Deadalus, clumsily telling it to go back to orbit herself, as she tries to prevent any further damage.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Luckily Deadalus was already moving back to orbit. It seemed when his link had been broken to her, she had just gone back on her own without contradicting orders, and so Shrike found that the ship did indeed listen to her.

Once she got outside however, and spotted him, she might begin to wonder about his stability, and how long he would still be standing.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Shrike dashed out of the building to find the carnage going on outside, Siphon shredding through bots in a blind frenzy. HEr blades appeared in her hands as she dived into the melee after him, reaching out mentally to try and calm his mind as she dances and slashes her way over to him physically.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Burrito stops his charge at the enraged bellow, a stroke of fear actually hitting him and causing him to shake with said fear "Dear god. What the hell is going on?" he asks, Seeing bots being sliced one another, and seeing Siphon in his enraged state "GRAVE! We need to get over there! We have to stop Siphon!" he yells, charging through more bots towards the enraged half-breed, noticing the wounds "Copper, Grave! Siphon's hurt! His mind is probably in shambles too! I need your help to restrain him!" he says over the radio, a worried tone in his voice "SIPHON!" he yells, charging right at Siphon with his exposed right shoulder forward, seemingly unstoppable as he bowls over any bot stupid enough to get in his way "Snap out of it!" he yells, charging right into him

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Tsuki sat stunned for a few long seconds after what happened. "Oh crap...." Then she heard Siphon's roars from outside. "Oh no...."

"Load, drones.exe!" Tsuki shouted as she hurried into the fray. Several wire meshes appeared, which then covered with texture, then details. Small floating orbs following after the hacker, a few fancy lines and other details. The main notable thing, a barrel sticking out of them. They let loose with heavy machine gun fire. For herself, she loaded up an energy blade, elegantly cutting through bots that got in her way.

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Pale hung back with characteristic nonchalance, not really bothering to take part in the fray. Not that she could really start nuking things, with friendlies hanging around... people tended to get pretty pissed after that one.

Instead, she was toying with a few low-level spells.. turning one bot into a living inferno, another into an ice cube. One particularly nasty spell seemed to turn the bio-mechanical inside out. Finally, seeming bored, she starts throwing out pencil thin white beams, similar, but less powerful, to some of the spells she used earlier, that reduce bots to ash.

She does glance up to see if Siphon really needs the aid... but seeing nothing but flying parts coming from his direction, the mage figured he was gonna be just fine.

"Hey, relax... guy's enjoying himself. Let him get it outta his system."

She winces as a particularly close shot sparks from a wall near Siphon.

...."Ok, I take it back."

With a hop and wingbeat, Pale takes to the rooftops, more flying than running to keep up with her raging ally. Casually picking off a few nearby, she calls down to him.

"Oy! You! Holding up ok? You look a little rough.."

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Grave moved towards Siphon's position, marking his passage with a road made entirely of corpses and scrapmetal. Once he noticed the hybrid, he cursed under his breath. The warrior had no idea what happened, but it seemed that Siphon had lost control. Grave remembered his promise. If the Wraith could not be contained...

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

Surprisingly, at Burrito's roar, Siphon actually stopped and shot him a look. "Sir? With all due respect, shouldn't we be...." He stopped as a bot got close and took a swing at him, blocking it and lifting it up by the throat. "You know trying to sneak attack me after you just killed some of my friends is a VERY BAD IDEA."

Said bot was quickly snapped in half at the waist before he turned back to Burrito. "As I was saying sir, shouldn't we be killing these motherfuckers first, then talking?" While it was clear he was enraged here, it seemed that at least for the moment he knew friend from foe.

As he heard Pale's question he smiled and added without looking up, "yeah I suppose I could use the help some, fuckers winged me a few more times it feels like, and backup is always nice."

Re: The Adbot's Revenge!

"Glad you can tell me from these bots. I was worried you had lost your mind. Go get some medical treatment. We'll mop up the survivors." Burrito says, a smile on his face "Can't quite have my Sargent dying on me now, can I?"
