Turn 08
AGAIN!!! DEATH FROM ABOVE!!!
[3]: You drop from above and prepare to attack, but you're not sure who to go for first so you decide to pick... The Cultists! The Cultists must Roll to Dodge!
[3 for Paladin/5 for The Cultists]: You prepare to swing your sword down, but The Cultists take a quick notice of your attack and slash your chest with their spears, sending you falling to your back. Some oil and wires leak out from the cut as you writhe in pain. You have taken 1 Regular Hit, if you take 1 Critical Hit/1 Regular Hit/2 Minor Hits, you will be in
Critical Condition.
"Ghhhh... That's not how that was supposed to go."Well look at this fancy spear, guess all I need now is a magic helmet to go with it."
Quickly rush towards the Nave and plow through the door.
[1]: You trip over yourself and begin to fall down... right on the tip of the spear you just found! You must roll to dodge!
[4 for Gravity/2 for King]: You stab yourself on the pike, and oil begins oozing out of abdomen. You grunt in pain as you fall to your knees, spear stuck in relatively deep. You have taken 1 Regular Hit, if you take 1 Critical Hit/1 Regular Hit/2 Minor Hits, you will be in
Critical Condition.
"Aaaaaaagh!!!"
Go berserk and kill everything with POWER (except my teammates)
[5]: Upon looking at the bleeding body of Paladin, and hearing the laughs of the Cultists as they celebrate their minor victory, you find yourself filled with a sense of rage. Your
POWER begins to flare up, as its golden glow begins to take a more crimson hue.
"Get. Away. From. Him."The
POWER begins to tear at the ground around you, and you suddenly charge your compression gauntlets deep with energy, charging massive spheres of energy in your hand.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!"You throw the spheres of
POWER energy at both the Cultists and Eelzekiel!
"YOU!!! YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU VIIIIIIIIILE MISCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTTTTTT!!!!!!!!"
They must Roll to Dodge!
[6 for
POWER Blast/3 for Cultists]: The blast grows larger as it nears the Cultists, they freeze in terror as their bodies are swiftly evaporated by the sheer force of
POWER!
"My flock... no..."[4 for
POWER Blast/2 for Eelzekiel]: Eelzekiel falls to his knees, as he stares down at the sphere of energy getting ever closer.
"My church... my flock... my life..."His eyes well with grease-ridden tears, as he clasps his hands together, and looks to the ceiling.
"Was this... also by your will, Doctor?"The blast engulfs Eelzekiel. His final thoughts are of the Doctor and his Second Coming. The soul
will be doubled, the world
will be at peace.
"Doctor... Av...en... ge...m...e...."Suddenly, a purple static like mist flitters in the air, seeping its way towards Alexander.
"Oh no! It's the Maverick Virus! Alex, get out of there!"You must Roll to Dodge the Maverick Virus infection!
[5]: Using your power, you blow the Virus away and it disintegrates, leaving no mark on you.
You finally calm down, and begin tending to Paladin's wounds. You did it... the Mission is over.
MISSION 01: COMPLETED
The Maverick, Exalted Eelzekiel, was obliterated by a POWER Blast by the Maverick Hunter, Alexander, with assistance from BlackPaladin and King Zultan.
However, not all was finished as you thought... one Cultist had hid in the wings of the stage and had finally started making his way with the gun he found to kill Alexander for the death of his beloved Preacher.
"You... YOU WORTHLESS ANIMAAAAAAAAAAL!!"Alexander turns but has no time to react as the Cultist takes the shot... or it looked like they would have... but their head slides off cleanly as they collide into the ground.
Behind them stands a slim figure in a mechanical suit, they do not look like a Reploid however. The Cultist's head rolls to their feet.
"Worthless machines, all of you."The person lifts their right foot, and proceeds to tightly hold the decapitated head of the Maverick underneath.
"Reploid, Maverick, Hunter... all of you should be..."They grimace in rage, and raise their foot.
"SCRAPPED!"They crush the head into a pile of wire and oil, staring directly at the Maverick Hunters. They walk closer to you, raising their blade before a voice echoes through their earpiece.
"
THAT'S ENOUGH, REI!"
"Khh!"It sounds like the voice of Dr. Abel, and he seems to be reprimanding this person.
"
I know you hate Reploids, but those are your fellow Hunters! I will not allow you to harm them to fuel your rage."
This "Rei" person clenches their teeth for a moment, before settling into a deep frown, and sighing.
"Fine, then I'm done here Doctor. I'll be making my way back."Rei pulls out what looks like a gun and fires it at the ceiling, it shoots a grapple that they use to swing and exit the building through a large painted window.
========================================================================================
Several hours later, the Maverick Hunter Cleanup arrives, and takes the injured Hunters and the rescued humans away from the Church. You all return to the Neo Tokyo Base.
Paladin attempted to attack some Cultists and was slashed across the chest.
King tripped and stabbed himself with the spear he found.
Alex utilized his POWER and killed The Cultists and Exalted Eelzekiel
Exalted Eelzekiel is Dead!
Mission 01 is over.
All acquired injuries are now healed.
All Hunters have returned to the Neo Tokyo Base.
Upon your return, a familiar face lifts the mood.
"I'm glad to see you all made it back, safe and sound."Dr. Abel also enters the room, feeling jovial and proud.
"
Kudos, Good Hunters, Kudos. That was an excellent performace out there, especially from you Alexander."
"Oh, thanks."

Dr. Abel leaves, and Alia walks up to Alex, acting rather bashful.
