Chapter I: The Watchful Monarch
Deathmatch
Part IX: Blood Money
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington
Early Evening, Lightly Cloudy, 8/23/2020
With a scowl of annoyance plastered on his face, Helvar looks back to where the Doom Slayer was standing. In his place is basically an assortment of meat and organs, denying Helvar a real trophy of combat. He growls and tries to turn and look for 47, trying to slice him into ribbons as penance for stealing his well deserved kill. [3 v 8+2 (Stealth Bonus)] But as he flourishes about with his blade drawn, the still-living, burned clone still moves well enough to dodge within his blind spot. It's as though he doesn't feel the pain of his burns. Which, he doesn't. Destroyed nerve endings and all. Which is certainly a thought that continues to infuriate Helvar.
47 is not as easily annoyed, though. He aims to stay within his blind spot, keeping his pistols drawn for the right time. [5+2] He stays stealthy and ready to assassinate, focusing on his training as he looks over Helvar's back, searching for the right spot on his body. [8+2 (Assassination Bonus) v 4] [9+2 v 3-2 (Pain)] The first one pierces straight through the middle of Helvar's back, sending pain through his whole body. He gasps with widened eyes and collapses to his knees, dropping the Stoor Worm Sword to the ground. 47 doesn't flinch, hobbling forward and pressing the suppressed barrel of the other Silverballer to the back of Helvar's head. Helvar mutters "
P-P-Promise me...the next fight will be a better age for a warrior like me.", to which 47 simply responds "
I'm sure the chance will come." With one last, quiet gunshot, Helvar falls forward, dead.
Agent 47 has done what he does best! 47 gets:http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/M8A1: +XM8 (Short Reload Four-Round Burst Assault Rifle, 32/32. Two Magazines in Reserve. Attachment(s): Suppressor)
47 notices an extra weight at his back. He pulls out an XM8 rifle with a suppressor already threaded on. Holstering it again, he looks around, thinking of a new plan. But then, his forgotten ally Frederic Rossif comes in, recording all the proceedings on his camera.
Meanwhile, within the TARDIS, within the past, within an alternate timeline, two incarnations of the smartest beings in the galaxy are together. Or, rather, trying to work together while bitching about eachother. "
A celery stalk? Really? You think you look dignified with a vegetable on your lapel?" to which the other responds with "
At least I won't be tripping over a scarf that looks as long as my nose!" They continue harping like this for a second before doing what any good incarnation of the Time Lord does: thinking of a way out. [Intelligence: 7+2 (Gallifreyan Mind) +2 (Another One)] The two come up with a less-than lethal strategem to survive: incapacitation. If someone is unable to compete, such as by being on an uninhabited planet, they fall out of competition. So, a good plan would be to go to their enemies one at a time, lure them into the TARDIS, point it at a planet, and survive long enough to make it there and chuck them onto the planet's surface. As to the purple code man...well, stopping him requires finding him, so he's a secondary objective. With that in mind, the Doctors travel back to both the future and the actual timeline.
Despite the gunshot in his gut, Brewer's mind is actually working in overdrive. He sees the combat medic and crew grabbing an unfreezing Mycroft, hauling him out of the building. Brewer suddenly fades into smoke, becoming a sentient cloud that rolls out towards Mycroft. [Reaction: 2] Mycroft, seeing this cloud heading towards him, uses his good hand to fling Myrtenaster at Cobra. But after flying straight through Brewer, the rapier bounces off the floor and lands on a table. By the time Cobra grabs it, both the Monarchy's car and Cloud Brewer are gone. Cobra screams in frustration and rage.
Seeing her vision just about to come to life, Frances immediately brings King Crimson out as the Monarchy kicks the door in, breaching it. "
KING CRIMSON!" she calls out. And then, something seems to skip. The Monarchy has fired their guns despite barely seeing anyone. The glass behind everyone shatters, but no one gets hit. And behind them, hidden without trying, is Frances, who stands right behind an unaware King of Rwanda.
Mycroft is loaded into the back of the car, slid in as though on a stretcher as the Combat Medic works to save his life. [Medical: 4+2] He manages to stop the bleeding in his gut and severed arm, keeping Mycroft alive, but he is still recovering, as it were. He hears a scream of frustration and looks up, shouting at them to open the door and look for Brewer. [Stealth: 1] Cloud Brewer is so visible it actually hurts, off-setting the broken lens and basically restoring Mycroft's bonus without having to repair his camera. [5+2 v 9] Despite this, Brewer still dodges the flash of the camera, instead insta-freezing some poor man and his three children in a blue SUV behind them.
Lorillard acts first, popping out of cover to get the first shot off. [6 v 6] His aim is off slightly, hitting no one as the Monarchy steps off to fire back. [2 v 8] Lorillard's cover splinters as a hail of gunfire comes in, but the man himself is unharmed.
The Combat Medic, named Cyago, pulls out his side-arm of an
MP-443 Grach pistol and fires out the cloud, which does nothing to actually
harm the intangible Brewer.

So, uh, funny story. This turn was accidentally deleted during writing and I had to copy-paste from the Preview and edit to fix it. So, if there's a formatting error, that would be the reason why.
