Blood drips upon quiet streets as police sirens blare and civilians watch on. The Doom Slayer ignores all stimuli, walking with purpose in spite of his wounds and just waiting for a good time to strike. And as luck would have it, that's precisely when he sees the fruits of his labor arrive. A SWAT van comes down the street at the sidewalk he's on, consisting of six highly trained and armed officers ready to help. Rather than simply holding out a thumb or walking front of them, he instead tails behind them and holds his hand out [6+2 (Strength)] and grabs the handles on the back of the truck as it rolls past. The car is stopped. When they get out, they immediately spot the Doom Slayer. He can see their guns and arms shake as their skin lightens up from the shock. He climbs in the back as they keep driving. Meanwhile, still at the school, Jill continues her hacking by next going to the military. [10+2] And it works. The other nine are the priority targets of the Military. And not just the US Military. While the US confirms involvement of as many units as they can, unbeknownst to everyone, the Canadian Armed Forces also begin clamoring about. It'll take a ton of time for even a single soldier to arrive (10 Turns), but they're coming with an armada.
[6+2 (Stealth Bonus)] But watching from the shadows in the city, having followed the blood trails down the street, is the scarecrow clad Agent 47. He watches the Doom Slayer get in the truck through very aggressive means before speeding off, and 47 stealthily follows them. [5+2 (Stealth)] It's a bit harder to sneak around when it comes to a moving car, but if they can't see a scarecrow, they won't wonder why one's in a city. Without them being the wiser, they park a ways away from the city, and pile out. [6+2 (Stealth)] And 47 keeps working his magic. They park in the school's parking lot, away from the courtyard. The six officers pile out, followed by the Doom Slayer, and 47 can hear the talkative of the group begin passing about ideas to their silent vigil.
The Fifth Doctor starts his tenure off with a bit of cleverness. He sees the high speed chase go down, his eyes flicking to the detonater and declaration from the vagrant Brewer, as he gains a bit of an idea. He points his Sonic Screwdriver at Jimmy Simpson's sports car, and flicks it on. [2+2 (Cleverness)] But the sheer speed of it all sends a weak signal, and Brewer's bomb vest doesn't explode. But it is primed. Even tapping that button will set it off. Satisfied, the Doctor brings Romana into the TARDIS, closing and locking the door behind them.
The message is clear. Pedal to the medal. Jimmy begins chasing after Mycroft in a high-speed chase, only vaguely aware of a brief-lasting chirping before he continues on. But this vagrant...he gains an idea. Summoning a train next to him, already rolling down the street with no rails, he opens his car door and leaps for the thing! [8+2 (Proximity)] He passes with flying colors, gripping onto the train car with ease. He turns back to see his sports car begin to swivel and slide. [4] But it doesn't crash. It doesn't stop. It's not controlled, but it's going. And he can see Brewer begin to pull out his shotgun through the glass...
As Frances' heart begins relaxing after the sudden turn of adrenaline, she realizes the precarious state Noob's in. On his knees, purple blood staining his clothes. She pulls out her Lee-Enfield and presses the barrel against Noob's skull. [2+2 (Shooting Bonus)+2 (Point Blank) v 4] He manages to grab it and hoist it up just in time, however, as the bullet instead slams through his cheek. He screeches out in pain as Lorillard takes a crack at it. [8+2 (Point Blank) v 1] Coming up from behind, Lorillard places a hand on Noob's shoulder to angle the shot right. Barrel at the temple. And...a loud crack shines through as Noob's blood and brain matter splatters against the grass. Other than a bit of agonal breathing, he makes no other noise as, unlike in a movie where the guy makes a final grand gesture, he instead just topples over, dead.
Lorillard secured Frances's kill! Frances gets:http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Diavolo: +Stand: King Crimson & Epitaph (Using Epitaph, which uses up all actions in the turn, Frances can see how fate unfolds over the next ten seconds. Then, on the next turn, she can use King Crimson to skip time, making all attacks against her miss. Cannot be used excessively or consecutively, and she is vulnerable while using Epitaph. In addition, King Crimson can be used to fight, with a +2 to Strength simply due to immense physical power.)
Frances suddenly feels a power well up inside her. In front of her, a figure appears.
With a grimacing face on the forehead of it's true, still grimacing visage, her Stand rises up. Tall. Powerful. It's name is King Crimson. And with it, it is only the results that remain in this world. All the actions you take in a world where time is erased are meaningless!Shying away from the violence, Genevieve decides to take another course of action. Using her powers, she transforms into a Barracuda, and swims into the college's main building. Students shy away from her in return, as in this visage, she is...well, a hovering sharp-toothed fish in a conflict involving more death and destruction that is apparent.
While not a hunter, Helvar, instead of running, elected to track the Doom Slayer down. [7] He gets a bead on his direction when he sees them trail off down a road that, now, presents a SWAT truck. It ignores him, piling into a parking lot. And who else should show up with the six officers than the Doom Slayer? Helvar feels no cowardice upon seeing the armed officers, and begins concocting a plan. Pulling out his three weapons, he waits for the right moment to strike.
In the city, Mycroft and his driver, who he now knows is named Rhonda, are chased through by Brewer. He remembers the question and suggests "
Where to? Far away from here. I'm not interested in being killed by those maniacs. Perhaps a library?", just as a blast from a shotgun startles Rhonda. She keeps driving as Mycroft sees Brewer [7] gain control of the race car, before leaning out of the window with the same Super 90. Not at Mycrof proper. That'd breach conduct. No, he shoots at the tires. [7 v 3] The blast slams through a tire, sending the car screeching [Recover: 2] and swerving. They crash hard into a lamppost. [Medical: 8, and Medical: 2] Miraculously, Mycroft himself only has cuts and bruises. He's a bit winded, but fine. Rhonda, however, is not. Bits of glass and metal is stabbed into her chest, stomach, arms, and legs, with her right arm broken at the elbow to where the bone is sticking out. Her head lays on the dashboard, luckily not separated from her body, as she turns to Mycroft with hazy eyes and dribbles blood from her mouth onto the dashboard. [Distance: 8] Luckily, the library is close by. Mycroft rushes to it, and immediately heads for a computer. [6+2 (Journalism)+2 (Detective Work)] He immediately finds a crack team of mercenaries, the Rwandan Monarchy, and hires them. They'll arrive [Time: 6] within an hour or so. (Three Turns)
And before and during all of this, there's Brewer. He starts off by aiming a shotgun through the window at the traitor Jimmy Simpson. [6 v 7] He destroys the glass on the driver's side, but the pellets miss Jimmy, crashing into the train. Groaning, he shifts to the driver seat. After a second of panic, he manages to get a grip on driving this death trap, and leans out of the window. One shot later, and Mycroft's car is sent crashing. Brewer puts it in park and watches Mycroft leave.
