The Watchful Monarch
Deathmatch
Part XX: World Enough and Time
Seattle, Washington
Late Evening, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
With Regeneration Sickness sending the newly birthed Sixth Doctor stumbling around his console room, some facts haven't quite hit his brain yet. He stumbles to the doors and looks out to the dead body of his own past self, frowning with a somber gaze. "
I'm sorry my friend, your death shall not be in vain." he says, before looking out to the street, looking back to his party, then whipping his head back until realizing the presence of his immortal enemies. He turns back to his body and rambles "
Ah, I can see the Daleks, they've come to exterminate us all. We can't fight against them, not now, not at this time-why aren't you moving?" He holds it hand out and waves it in front of Frances' face, and comes to the realization that they are frozen in time. He rushes back to the console, [Retaliation: 4+2 v 1] but before he can take off, he hears a camera flash and the TARDIS console ceases to move. Enraged, he rushes out, screwdriver in hand. [3+2 v 2] With a click and a whir, the camera temporarily snaps shut, unable to freeze anything again at this juncture.
In spite of this, he still seems rather satisfied with this turn of events. "
Perfect. Now then... this arrow was well worth the purchase. Perhaps, though, there's a bit more I can do with it..." According to legend, if the Arrow allows you to stab yourself, your Stand gains a new power, as documented with Yoshikage Kira. But if you stab your own Stand, it gains a whole new form and power, a power that renders fate meaningless: the Requiem Stand. While Mycroft merely wishes to stab the bodies of his allies, this information may bode useful, should the Arrow allow it. [Worthiness: 9] [2] [4] The Arrow plunges back into Mycroft's flesh, and he immediately feels weightless and yet surrounded by his own aura. This Arrow Ability is Mr. President's Secret Service, and it allows him to teleport into his pocket dimension himself whilst summoning clones to battle with his allies. He heads to Cobra, but the Arrow warps around the mercenary. The Arrow does not permit him. Finally, he pierces Brewer, but it only bumps Echoes up to ACT 2, which carries the ability to bring sound effects to life. Much more useful when you can set people on fire. Still, this is not enough, so, he tauntingly shouts "
Alright, Doctor! You have been a worthy opponent! But I'm afraid that your time is up!" before suddenly flinging money up to buy off the army. At the sight of all this money from another country that they value for some reason, the Military focuses their efforts.
Grumbling under his breath, Brewer turns to his darling and passes off the Single Action Army before looking to the window. "
I need to get more practice with these things" he mutters, before popping the window down, and firing again at the Sixth Doctor. [5 v 9] He fires the Super 90 again, pellets striking through the TARDIS, though none hitting the Doctor himself.
Finally unfrozen, Frances and Lorillard shake off the effects of their freezing before firing their weapons into the car. [6+2 v 3] [10 v 10] Frances angles her shot correctly and fires her Lee-Enfield at Mycroft himself. The bullet flies through the window and suddenly strikes him right in the abdomen. Blood begins leaking out all over the place as Mycroft's breath grows labored from the agony. Lorillard fires at Brewer with the M1911, but right on time, the hobo uses Echoes ACT 2 to create the sound *PING!* which, when pushed, suddenly creates a shield that bounces the bullet away before disappearing. Frances tries a much more unorthodox strategy: using King Crimson's strength to hurl something at them. [1+2 v 7] King Crimson throws the gun at the car, but it sails overhead, landing in a bush somewhere. With everyone unfrozen, they shut the doors to the TARDIS.
The military, despite the bribe, still don't go after the Doctor and his allies right away. Why?
Because of the Daleks. The three Daleks, bronze in casing, glide across the ground. [4 v 10+Trait: Bulletproof] Infantry begins littering the Daleks with bullets, but blue light shimmers over them as a shield as the Daleks simply push forward, screaming "
WE MUST KILL THE TRUE DOC-TOR! ALL HUMANS SHALL DIE TO THE DALEKS! EX-TER-MIN-ATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" [3+3 v 3] [4+3 v 6] [10+3 v 7] The Daleks fire into the infantry, immediately killing one soldier who drops to the ground with little more than a gasp of pain. Another fires right at Cobra, who survives, but Mycroft can see him covered in burns, still struggling to breathe even after surviving a blast. Finally, a third blast strikes a tank's fuselage, detonating it. [Casualities: 7] A chunk of infantry is suddenly killed instantly by a violent explosion, and the rest flank to scatter away from the blast.
