With the adrenaline coursing through his veins and the song still flowing through his heart, Thomas Scott doesn't even stop or hesitate before continuing on the path to least resistance. While he hits the magazine release to switch out for a full load, Barney continues trying to savage Ethan Daine. [6 v 10] He lunges for Ethan with paws at the ready, but Ethan rolls out of the way on his left side just in time to avoid the swipe. Still, Thomas reloads and fires. [1 v 5] He fires his pocket pistol at the door, and hits it! Unfortunately, Ethan Daine is not a door. And to make matters worse, the JB300, hearing the shots, runs down to try and attack Thomas. [5 v 7] He swipes with his blade, but misses, and as Barney rears back and heads into the kitchen in return, only Ethan remains in the living room.
The King of Castle Peak growls under his breath, a frown creasing across his face in chagrin and irritation as the craft begins rising off the ground. Raising a hand glowing blue with Ice Magic, the King looks towards his Servant and orders "
Damn it, fire quickly, we don't want to give it the chance to return fire." Archer traces another version of Caladbolg, clutching the Broken Phantasm as he looks over the rising aircraft. Meanwhile, the King looks around to spot vulnerable Wiki-Warriors. [Spot: 2] However, from his vantage point, he can't really see anyone. Not really, anyway. Archer notches Caladbolg II, and doesn't hesitate to fire. [9 v 2 (+2 Damage: Penetration of Caladbolg and Explosion of Broken Phantasm)] This time, the aim rings true. He fires it, and the drill-shaped blade passes
through the weapons systems, disabling the Turbolasers on it's right side as it passes through the ship before stopping dead center in the craft. [Injury: 3 (Korol Solo)] [Injury: 2 (Chertyl Ruluwoor)] [Injury: 10 (Ship Itself and Crew)] A fiery explosion detonates right in the middle of the ship, disabling the engines and most of the weapons systems. Of the five-hundred and eighty six crewmen, half are either
eradicated by the explosion, dismembered by the yield, set ablaze by the Broken Phantasm's explosion, or simply have internally bled to death from the shockwave. The remaining crew of two hundred and ninety three, along with Korol and Chertyl, are unharmed save for bruises and cuts as the ship makes a hard landing from the lack of engine support.
The very first thing the GDI soldiers (and the weird-ass wooden statue of the Virgin Mary) see is a large spaceship just outside of town crashing and burning. Clearly, the conflict is already underway. Thus, they all pile in to their nearby helicopter, and begin to spin the rotors. Two Infantry fly the chopper, two of them hang out the side to add some extra guns, and one joins Zachary and the Virgin Mary, sat down in the craft itself as backup. They begin flying towards the town, scoping out Wiki-Warriors to battle later on. [Spot: 9] They spot Team RWBY hiding behind a building first, followed by The King and Archer on top of City Hall, a couple Androids standing by a car, and a...goddamn
ghost train reversing towards the town. They do not, however, spot Thomas Scott, Aeyon Fellwind, or White Mage.
Picking himself off the ground, surviving despite the odds, Korol Solo brushes himself off and rushes towards the communications network, and sends out the following bulletin. "
Alright, well, situation is clearly very abnormal, but stay calm. Okay, the plan has to change. I'll get the tech guys to start making reinforcement hails, while I check the armory and brig. Maybe we can still pull off the peacekeeping aspect. Make sure no one picks us off while we're down." With that done, he picks Chertyl up onto her feet and tells her "
Keep an eye on them," before running off. First towards the armory, passing by the carnage both ship and crew have experienced. [Spot: 10] Luckily, the armory is not only intact when he finally makes it there, but he does, in fact, find exactly what he wants. Blasters with stun functions, full on stun prods, concussion grenades, handcuffs, the whole shebang. Every weapon you would ever need to pull off a pacifistic end to the Wiki-War. With that done, he runs down to the Brig, which is luckily not too far. [Condition: 9] Most of the brig cells are still in good condition, and the energy-field doors are still working. If they can either get the ship running or procure a different craft, this may just work after all.
Watching with a grin as the youngsters come aboard, the Bishop George Blyth throws it in reverse and sends the train back, hilariously playing the song "Come on Over" by Royal Blood
backwards as it goes. Leading them to one of the other cars, George Blyth uses his magic, passed down from the Lord. Five swords with silver blades and gold hilts, identical to his own sword, pass out of the bright light. Dairou passes them out as George Blyth explains "
The Swords of the Bishopric. Some of God's own might passed down to us humble warriors. They are said to be blessed, slaying the Wicked with ease. Take them, my brethren. Let us purge." The train crashes back into Valdosta in no time [8 v 9] narrow missing the car the Androids are next to with the caboose.
With the weary sigh comparable to others in his field who have done the unspeakable, Aeyon stares down at the finished vials and syringes of the toxin, the disease. "
By Elbereth..," he whispers in disbelief at what he had just done. Realizing he's still not done, he slips a vial back into the machine and whispers again "
I need to make sure this vile plague does not consume me as well." [6+2+2] In no time at all, he produces a limited run of the vaccine, allowing him to cure himself should the worst come to pass.
Similar to the GDI, the first thing that crosses White Mage's mind is the large craft crashing down just outside of town, only North of her position. With a weary sigh, she casts Protect (+2 Defense for two turns) and begins to wander into town in search of a place where she can find spell books. [Spot: 8] As soon as she makes it into Valdosta on the Southern end, she finds a bookstore and wanders in. The civilians who are still there cower at all the explosions and gunfire coming up North, but she still quietly looks around for a spell book. [6] She finds one that may prove fruitful for at least one White Magic spell. It'll take a little while to go through, though.
Before John and Markus can start their plan to break in and end Ethan Daine's life, JB300 is busy with his own agenda of trying to assassinate Thomas Scott and Barney. [2 v 6] He takes a swipe at Thomas, and again misses very narrowly, before turning around to stab Barney. [10 v 6] He manages to stab into Barney's cheek, and roughly pulls it out, giving the Cartoon bear half of a Glasgow Grin. Bursting in, John and Markus open fire on Ethan. [5 v 6-2 (Pain)] John's first shot misses, the round flying past Ethan and crashing into the wall, which lodges itself into the drywall. [1 v 6-2 (Pain)] Markus misses even worse, firing right as Ethan Daine bolts upstairs.
Running upstairs, Ethan takes the first precaution on escaping: stealth. [Stealth: 10-2 (Pain)] Despite now limping as the adrenaline dies, he still manages to duck into the upstairs bathroom's linen closet, hiding amongst the shelves. It wasn't perfect, but it'd give him just enough time to come up with a plan. [Medical: 6] While in there, he finds some gauze and uses it to close up the wound at his hips. He's still feeling pain, but he's not immediately bleeding out and leaving a trail to follow him, which is useful.
Suppressing her anger and sliding back into cover beside Blake, Yang breathes out heavily and tries to snark "
Well, that didn't work." Blake shakes her head and looks over, only to see the horrific explosion and crash. "
Well, we didn't do much...but those people on City Hall sure did." Weiss sighs and pinches her nose. "
If I might make a suggestion?" she starts. "
Maybe we should try seeing what we can do about the rest of these...people, first? Maybe one or two of them would be willing to help us?" Ruby looks over and nods. "
Okay...stick together. Freezerburn!" [Stealth: 10] Weiss pops out of cover at the right time to use her blade to produce a sheet of ice, letting Yang punch down a fire Dust round into it. A billow of blistering cold fog coats the town, allowing Team RWBY to run towards City Hall and hide before anyone notices they've left their position. They are under the archway around the entrance, allowing them to stay concealed for now.
