The Watchful Monarch
Deathmatch
Part XVIII: Stand Proud
Seattle, Washington
Late Evening, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Chaos permits across the TARDIS. The blood of a Time Lord stains the white console room, splattering crimson against the canvas, as the officer who shot The Doctor himself is held down. In the midst of this madness, though, Frances quickly comes up with a plan to sort these things out in an advantageous way. Lorillard pulls out his pistol and Frances does the same to her rifle, and the two of them fling the doors of the TARDIS open. [5 v 3] [1 v 1] Frances fires her Lee-Enfield into the car, striking into Brewer's elbow and not doing much more than spill blood all over the Smart Car. Lorillard, meanwhile, fires his M1911, but whether out of pain or intentionally throwing off aim, Cobra drops to a knee, causing the round to sail over his head. Secretly, unbeknownst to anyone but the Time Lords in the room, King Crimson grabs the sidearm of the Rogue Cop, another M1911, and racks the chamber back. The bullet is quickly caught by the swift fingers of the Stand, who simply throws the whole cartridge at the car. [2+2 v 9] Even with King Crimson's strength, the cartidge's off-balance simply lodges the round into the metal of the car, just above the window.
As the Fifth Doctor clutches his wound as best as he can, doing not much more than pouring his blood over his hand, he turns to the cops, confused and shocked. With gutted, stilted breath, he asks "
W-Why did you shoot me? Don't you u-understand why you're here? Mycroft is b-behind the attack on...the campus, and back then w-without my help surely some of you would've been i-injured or killed during our encounter with the mercenaries, d-don't you understand that whatever money he is promising you, is bound to be a mere fraction of his real wealth, he's so close and we're so close to capturing him, once we do, don't you understand that you can confiscate all of his money? There's something far more sinister at work here, and I'm the only one who can stop it." [Convincing: 7] While the Rogue Cop doesn't see much change, the rest of them seem to agree as they full-on cuff the mad man before slamming his head into the floor of the console room, [7 v 1] knocking him out cold. Even with this loyalty in place, though, they agree to give over their communications equipment to Romana II to be confiscated. The Fifth Doctor heads to the back, to Regenerate, as the Fourth Doctor pops out of the TARDIS and tries to wave over the military. "
LISTEN! MYCROFT IS A DANGER UNTO US ALL!" he calls out "
YOU WANT HIM GONE, NOT US!" [Convincing: 1] The response of the soldiers is to stop and stare at the blithering Wiki-Warrior before a squad of five opens fire on him. [2 v 5] [1 v 8] [1 v 3] [10 v 1] [4 v 5] Four of them miss their shots, sending him comedically scrambling around. When they're done, he breathes a sigh of relief. "
Phew...you almost shot m-" and then his brains empty out the back of his head as the fifth soldier caps him with his sidearm. Luckily, thanks to the Regenerative energies, he heals from this, but is caught
Regenerating. After this happens, all the crew of the Doctor begins stacking up by the door, ready to pounce upon the group.
In the midst of even more chaos, Jesus Christ, it's chaotic, Mycroft finally is pushed over the edge. Leaning over Brewer, he holds his camera out over the open door. [3+2 v 1] He captures the entire Doctor Party in one shot, freezing them, before turning to the back window for the military. [3+2 v 2] He is unable to attain this feat, but the squad who shot the Doctor dead are frozen, at least. Upon this, he looks down to the Stand Arrow in his lap. "
Now then... it has come to this, eh? BREWER! COBRA! IF I SHOULD FALL, DO NOT LET THE BEETLE ARROW FALL INTO ENEMY HANDS!" he shouts out, before gulping and setting his camera down. "
... well, here goes nothing." and with that, he stabs himself with the Arrow. He feels a purple light overwhelm him before a new sense of power envelops his body.
He feels a small hole appear in his forehead, along with a key suddenly sticking out of his mouth. He knows, intuitively, that he can bring other people to a room of his subconscious by sticking the key in the hole. Taking the key out and setting in on the dashboard, he names this Stand "Mr. President." Cobra comes by to see just what happened, only for him to suddenly get stabbed with the Arrow. The purple light washes over him, and once it does,
sand suddenly erupts by Mycroft's feet as his own Stand awakens. It's a...dog-motorcycle. As the Stand moves, the sand moves with it, and Cobra shivers before stating the Stand's name: The Fool.Brewer looks at all this with confusion in it's purest form, before holding his arm out to be stabbed as well. Once he is, the Light comes over him.
A small Larvae creature is in his lap now, appearing as a cross between mechanism and insect. It places the onomatopoeia of wind blowing on the car door, "Woosh", and when Brewer touches it, he suddenly hears gushing wind come from it. While not suited for combat yet, Brewer can tell that it evolves over time, and thus is compelled to the name "Echoes ACT 1" It's cool and all, but there be people to shoot. He leans his Super 90 out of the window and fires it into the person first in line out of the TARDIS: Lorillard. [1 v Auto...Huh. I can't actually have a 1 succeed, this has never happened before] Somehow, despite being frozen, the pellets
still miss Lorillard.
The Fifth Doctor finally
Regenerates. His brown hair is replaced by blonde curls, and his personality shifts. Darker and more willing to hurt and kill, but still genuinely empathetic,
The Sixth Doctor stands in the TARDIS.
[9 v 4-2 (Powerful Injury)] The Army General they had spoken to earlier, General Capson, stands over the Fourth Doctor and simply double-taps him. The gold energy fades as the Fourth Doctor of another timeline dies for real. But, syntax being what it is, this counts. [3+3 (Powerful Weapon) v 1] Suddenly, the sound of a raygun blasts over as Capson suddenly turns X-Ray for a split second before collapsing with severe burns. Out of a nearby building amongst screaming Civilians, the Doctor's worst enemy appears in a trio. And they only have one word to say: "
EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"
BSN:
Thank you all. Seriously. This has hammered home the point that, on a forum, you can come back to something after a while and still find someone willing to play.
Now...give it up for the Daleks! What a whammy.
