Nigeria, Africa.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

As if he had foreseen the kick, the hooded man rolls forward, rolling along the ground and avoiding the kick, while spinning around, hand already grasping an incendiary grenade out of his cloak, pulling it's pin, and tossing it at the ground beneath him, while turning back, and continuing his flight, hoping the threat of the red grenade will discourage his pursuer, and allow him a chance to escape, while the flames from the grenade erupted not but a moment after he'd escaped it's blast.

The fire lit the room enough for him to see that the figure calmly walked THROUGH the flames, unfazed by them in the slightest, then came rushing at him, palm open to hit him in the backside. It was similar to one of Wesker's attacks, but ... somehow different. For one it was slower, and for another it seemed more fluid a motion than Wesker's sloppy style.

"I'm game. Let's do this!" Sarah said cockily, flipping her shotgun back.

Akira stays close behind Chris, cringing a little as he said the word 'sexual'. Shaking a little, then managing a small smile, Akira nods and checks the revolvers again, "Sounds good..."

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

As the cloaked man ran, he was shocked to find the hand of his pursuer reach out, easily catching up to him in a matter of seconds, and grab his shoulder. While in mid stride, he tensed up with shock, as if he'd seen what he could not believe. "How did-!" he asked aloud, unable to keep running under the hand's grasp on him.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

There was no reply to his question, only a sudden movement as the figure brought a knee up, aiming to either knee him in his solar plexus or make him cough up a nut, he wasn't sure which.

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

The man weaved to the side, moving his lower body out of the way almost as soon as the black cloaked figure's leg came up, as if he knew, before catching the person's leg in his arm, holding it to unbalance his foe, before turning, spinning his body around, and driving an elbow into his assailant's side.

After the blow, he quickly broke away, rolling along the ground in such a way that caused his hood to fall back. And as the man took a knee on the ground, drawing a sword, and his dagger as well, the figure in black got a good look at who it was.

With a much more clean cut of hair, revealing a handsome face, bright, blue eyes, and the ever present sneer, the returning Roger growled at his foe angrily, "Now you've pissed me off!" Roger announced quite loudly, standing up on his feet, and assuming a combative stance with his blades, ready to go as far as block bullets with his quite renowned ability.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Chris nodded and led the group inside of the lower floor of the main building. The reception room was littered with debris and broken bodies, indicating a large scale fight had been waged here, and very few had survived, if any. Off to one side was a communications room, which Chris pointed out to Akira and his sister.


"Akira, Regina, you want to see if you can raise anyone on the air waves and get us some backup teams here? Everyone else, we need to go to the third floor storage. Should be able to resupply there if anything is left, and the devices we need will be there."





The other figure was partially caught off guard, though they still rolled away from Roger's attack before it really connected. In doing so however, their own hood came off.

To his surprise, for he couldn't have known of her vanishing until today, the figure in front of him now was a familiar one. Granted, her eyes were a demonic color, and she was apparently trying to kill him, but nevertheless the attractive red head in front of him was none other than Claudia Donovan.

For a moment, she stared at him, seemingly pissed beyond all belief. Then, after a long moment, she withdrew a long blade, then charged at him with a speed she should have been incapable of. Even with forewarning, getting out of the way would be all he could manage at best. There was really no opening for a counter attack, and he might even wonder that even if he could land a counter, would it hurt her? Did he want to hurt her? What had happened to her that she was attacking him, and could he possibly reason with her? Maybe ... maybe she didn't recognize him?

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Having not seen the girl for more than a moment, she only struck Roger as slightly familiar. After a moment, Roger blinked in confusion, "... Claudia?" he called out her name as he slowly started to remember her. And as she charged, he suddenly got to his feet, and used his sword to slap away her own blade, while taking many steps back, and around her to get out of the way of her attack.

"Damn it... Must be some kind of mind control... Is there a way to reverse it? Or is she a lost cause?" he thought, and with Claudia quickly recovering from his defense, he knew he'd have to decide fast, whether or not he should kill her. "Get out of my way, Claudia! Wesker didn't send you here to kill me, he knows you can't, so what the hell do you want!?!" he demanded of her.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Kevin was standing next to Chris at the ready, when he mentioned going upstairs "Roger. I'll make sure it's safe. Better only one to get ambushed than the whole group." he says, then flexes his fingers and begins to walk towards the stairs "Any objections?"

((Wouldn't the group hear Roger yelling? or some form of hint the fight is occurring?))

 

[Loli Defense Force]

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Akira appears reluctant to leave the group at first, then nods and takes out one of the revolvers and starts to head to the communications room. Trying not to look worried, Akira also slowly moves a hand gingerly to feel whether or not the eggs had started moving yet, wondering how long it would be...

 

[SiphonTalvesh]

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

((Different building, there is more than one, so not likely unless the characters have supersonic like hearing.))


For a long moment, she stared back at him with her eyes, just watching. Then she let loose a chuckle.

"Your right, I'm not here to kill you. I'm merely serving as a distraction, which I've done well. By now the plan is well into motion, which you can't stop. Albert was right, your getting stronger, but not yet strong enough to survive the three of us. You won't either you know, you won't ever be able to fight all three of us. So you really have two choices. Give up and just die, or you can get out of our way and leave. Your power no longer is required for the plan. So what'll it be Roger?"

She practically spit out his name at the end, clearly not in control of her own mind.




Chris shook his head to Kevin.

"I don't want anyone going off alone after what just happened. In a group like this we have a good chance. Besides, even if there is an ambush we all still have to go up there anyway. And these damn things aren't intelligent enough at this stage of infection to set traps. Later though, when the sun goes down, that's when they'll be very dangerous. They get stronger at night, we're not sure why."





Akira found the eggs had not moved yet, though her stomach was a bit larger than it should be, but still readily hideable. Lucky for her, Regina was paying more attention to the possible entry ways for an attack than she was to Akira, so did not notice. She did however speak gently.

"I've got your back Akira. They want to attack you again, they'll have to get through me first, cuz I'm in the way. If they attack me, you should have enough time to react."

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Roger scoffed at Claudia, "You think I give a damn if he makes the whole world burn? And I don't remember being apart of his plan anyway. But all of that is irrelevant, Wesker is going to die, so boo-fucking-hoo." he said.

Then, he growled under his breath, "Great, you distracted me, well done, you're not far from useless after all. Now get lost, crawl on back to Wesker." he told her coldly.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Akira smiles at Regina and nods, moving the hand away to avoid suspicion, as well as to check the safety of the gun was off, not wanting to repeat the earlier mistake, "Y..yeah... thanks. Let's hurry, the faster we call the earlier we can get help." Akira quickly enters, doing a brief sweep of the room, hoping that if anything jumped out, Regina would be able to take it out.

 

[SiphonTalvesh]

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

To his surprise, Claudia simply laughed.

"Burn the world? Heavens no, you have no idea do you? Each day humans come one step closer to wiping ourselves off the face of this planet. WE aren't destroying the world Roger, we're SAVING it."


Her gaze turned icy again as she regarded him for a long moment.

"It's a shame really. There's no way to know if Uroboros will find you worthy to continue on. Such a fine young man you are, such an attractive specimen, and the chances you'll survive aren't good. Oh well, if you do survive perhaps we can be together. If not ... well, you can't say that I didn't tell you so. Oh, and Roger, you can't kill the god of a new genesis. What happened before to your friends was merely a distraction to get YOU away from that moron Chris. That allowed Albert to contact you, but you wouldn't listen to him. Now ... well, now your essentially nothing to him. With Uroboros finally ready to be released, we don't need your power anymore."

She sighed lightly, the spoke again.

"Do yourself a favor Roger. Leave while you still can and take the chance that you might survive and prove worthy."


Suddenly she made a move, and before he could react she'd given him a quick kiss on the lips and backed off.

"Trust me, go now. Because if we meet again here before Uroboros is released, it will be your funeral. We're giving you the choice Roger. Decide wisely."


Then, once more faster than he could react, she ran over to one of the windows and jumped out of it, dropping two stories to the ground. If he chose to check, by the time he reached the window she would be long gone, no trace that she'd even been there to begin with.




Regina nodded, sweeping the room with Akira and after several long moments spoke.

"Clear. Go ahead and work on the radio hun, I'll be right here in the doorway making sure we're not surprised."

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Roger cocked his head to the side, listening with a bored expression on his face, Claudia's speech about Wesker's rambling, and twisting his lips a little when she called him an attractive specimen. However, he was snapped out of his daze when Claudia dashed forward, and planted a kiss on his lips, his eyes opening in astonishment at how, again, a woman decided to be so forward with him.

After Claudia left, Roger stood in place for a moment, before sighing, "Why does this shit keep happening to me..." he said under his breath, reaching back with his arms, and pulling his hood over his head to once again, hide his appearance. His objective was to find this girl, not to get involved with his old acquaintances from Warehouse 13.

And after thinking about his situation for a moment, he realized that if there were any monsters lying about, they'd have come due to the sounds of shouting and battle. So, he proceeded quickly, following his instincts, hoping he'd find the girl, and be done with this already irritating mission.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Akira walks up to the radio and tries to get it to work, "Hello? Is anyone out there? Can anyone hear this message?" Akira checks the radio a few times, making sure it was in working order.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

RJ continued along the interior of the building, and eventually came across a bundle of clothing that appeared to fit the description of the clothing Clara was supposed to have been wearing. But, there was no sign of the girl herself, no noise to indicate she might be around here either. It dawned on him that perhaps she'd done, if Helen had told him properly, the sensible thing when all hell had broken loose and had ditched her clothing to go invisible and run. Unfortunately, that meant she could be absolutely ANYWHERE by now, she had a huge lead on him. Then another though occurred to him. Was there a chance she'd possibly hooked up with his former group from the Warehouse? Helen HAD said that they were here in the area.




It was on the fourth attempt that Akira got something back, though it was very choppy.

"Affi.. ive. ... ead ... d and cl ...r. What's yo ... ion there?"



Akira could hear Regina let out a low whistle.

"Jesus that's garbled as hell."

 

[Mamono Assault Force]

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

Roger knelt down, and picked up the clothes bundle in one hand, examining it to find that it did indeed belong to Clara based on the picture... But where she was now, was anyone's guess, firstly Roger's. Roger sighed, letting his head sag, while lifting her tossed shirt to wipe some of the sweat off of his face. "Great... Invisible... Right..." he complained. The mission looked to be getting worse and worse by the second. And with Clara invisible, and Roger dressed like a strange man in a cloak, not to mention the fact that he never really talked, or even met eye to eye with her before, really hurt his chances of finding her, even if she were standing a few feet away from him.

With a sigh, Roger reached for his radio, and switched it to the channel he could use to talk to the people back at HQ, "Roger Jacklin, reporting in," he began, and rested the hand-held radio against his chest, awaiting a reply.

Re: Nigeria, Africa.

There was a high end burst of shrill static that greeted him, before finally a voice came over.


"RJ, it's Helen, can you read me? I think we've managed to punch through the interference now. What's wrong?"
