Operation: Survival (PG16+, always accepting)

[Hotaru987]

Kisa was the last one to get into the HUMVEE - just barely being able to close the door before S'ai quickly drove off. She fell into Lance from the sudden speed, "S-sorry." She said quickly climbing off of him and into her own seat. Kisa was barely able to hear S'ai yell over the loud roar of the engine, but did hear something about 'Wolf'. "Wasn't that the guy giving orders?" Was her silent muse as she tried to remember. Her short attention really was a curse when it came to gathering info.

[Sorrow.]

Rex came out of the doors late and as Wolf was issuing orders to the whole crew, he glanced at his comrades. Wolf, Leon, and some other guy with white hair and a bow. [i] What the hell... I thought S'ai was the Indian here...[/i], he wondered to him self then laughed and drank all the beer in his can and threw it over his back. " Hey Wolf, what's going on right now, I was kinda occupied , " Rex said to Wolf while looking back at his discarded beer can. " We going to kick some zombie ass?" Rex unsheathed his machete from his side and studied it as if he was about to decapitate somebody. He looked back at Wolf and smiled, " I was kinda getting bored of sitting around this crap hole."

"Outcast, report." the commander said into his com link. "Outcast! Report!" static was the only response. "Damn it! He must have been spotted!" he yelled out to no one in particular.

"Sir, our objective seems to be moving." came another voice into his com link.

"Sand hopper, confirm. Did you say our objective is moving?" he asked.

"Yes sir! They are preparing to leave and head east." replied the voice.

"Good work! Stay there and observe until Rivet's squad gets there."

"Yes sir!"

The commander then turned to his officers to give out his orders. "You! Take you're squad and head to Outcast's last known position! The rest of you head to our objective! I have no need for prisoners, so bring me their heads!"

(OOC: Yeah, um...there are now five soldiers heading towards the humvee. There are also fifteen soldiers heading towards the base. All in all, you got a force of twenty men being led by a commander (me) who is mad at the fact that one of his men is dead. Yeah...you can thank the sniper guy for that. >.>)

(( OOC: I never even fired dammit! Ghost was requesting permission to engage! Oh well, I'll roll with it. ))

Ghost calmly began turning the field of vision from his sniper's scope across the whole of the desert stretched out before him, his radio communicator on in case of any transmissions he might be receiving. He searched for any motion, any motion at all, across the whole of the horizon and soon enough he found it. Just barely out of his range, a horde of undead were making their way towards the base. He took careful aim to allow for the greatest possible damage to be inflicted by his rifle upon the approaching horde, and as soon as they managed to get within his range he would open fire. While the undead were still making their way into range, he would continue to scan across the horizon in an attempt to locate any approaching hostiles. He was quite mindful of the fact that he had the ability to take down the whole of an approaching squad within seconds with the M107. All that was on his mind was the next kill he would make, nothing else mattered at that moment.

((nice indian pun sorrow))

[color="#FF8C00"]"Aside from Lance and Gan, is everyone alright!?"[/color] S'ai shouted, trying to get somewhat revenge on his grief aboutt heir constant bickering.

Meanwhile, while Kisa had fell on Lance, it was at the same time when Lance was loading an crossbow bolt, when Kisa's wieght caused him to stab himself in the theigh with the bolt. Hearing a grunt of pain, everyone tried to avoid eye contact with Lance, as he tried to take out the bolt from his leg, but failed miserably. All you COULD hear was Xingba and S'ai trying their best to repress a laugh and stupid coughing sounds came from them.

Seeing no "cilvilized" way to get the bolt out, Lance quickly glared out Kisa and took out his knife, and used it to pry the bolt out of his leg...

[color="#FF8C00"]"Okay, it should be about 3 minutes before we get to the base, so everyone, be prepared to get out!"[/color] S'ai shouted once again.

"[color="#FF0000"]Sir![/color]/[color="#0000FF"]Sir![/color]"

[GreyCat]

"Age, forget the question," Leon ordered to his new companion. "Head to the motor pool and get a humvee and all the ammo and equipment you can salvage from the place." He pulled up the plans for the base as he spoke. And they were accurate plans. He didn't joke around with intel. "With the enemy coming, we can't let them get this place. They could monitor our communications from here." He started pointing to locations on the floor plan. "I'm going to but C4 on the generators here and here. A small one on the fuel pumps here and here and another in the radio room. I'll also but some in the storage room. Any ammo you can't take will by added force to the explosion." He pointed to one more spot. "I'll but a infrared trigger in this hallway so they can set them off even if I don't get to." He drew the small inconspicuous device from his pack. "Meet me at the west gate is five minutes Age."

[Sorrow.]

Rex heard alarms all around the base, Rex sheathed his machete and patted Wolf on the back, " Let's go start the fireworks ." Rex turned around and headed for the entrance. But first he looked around for S'ai and he wasn't there. [i] Where the hell is that Apache warrior?[/i] he thought to himself while giving up and rushing to a soldier, " Hey bro, do you know where S'ai is?"

" Yeah he was on some kind of recon mission but he's heading back, but I don't think he'll make it though there's a horde of zombies about to get over here, " The soldier said to Rex.

" Hey don't worry, I survived with that crazy bastard during hordes of zombies he'll be alright," Rex said to the soldier with an assuring smile.

Rex finally ran for the entrance and passed soldiers until he got to the gate. It was already unlocked and opened and there were a hand full of soldiers preparing for the zombie invasion stacking sandbags preparing the barbed wire and setting up turrets, he took out his binoculars from the front pocket of his vest. He looked in them and saw a horde of zombies rushing to the base, he smiled and removed the binoculars from his eyes and stashed them into his pocket. He looked up and saw Ghost up on the watch tower and brought out his radio. He pressed the button, " Hey Ghost do you see Sai in your sights?"

[Frybread002]

[color="#FF8C00"]"Okay! We're here!"[/color] S'ai shouted out, and drove into the garage. Getting out of the truck, S'ai left Kisa and Xingba in charge of getting the provisions off the truck, and quickly went to Lance to see if he needed help. Reaching out his hand, Lance quickly pushed it away, declearing it was alright, and began to walk normally.

[color="#FF8C00"]"Okay then, you three, get the provisions off the jeep, I need to see some people."[/color] S'ai ordered his sqaud, and began to look for Wolf. Asking everyone where he was, S'ai accindently ran into Rex, and began to scowl. Trying to quiently walk away in hopes that Rex didn't see him, S'ai accedently (and cowardly) knocked over a big bag of cola, causing a huge noise. Closinging his eyes, S'ai just prayed that his "old friend" didn't hear it...

[Reinforce]

Jack walked up behind Ghost, and without disturbing him, set up his own sniper position a few metres away. Scanning the desert, he spotted the undead warriors approaching them, looking across, he saw Ghost scanning the desert as well, but decided not to interupt him, instead deciding to use his goggles to use thermal vision, and using the scope of his gun still, allowing him to see the aproaching undead easier, and to see if anyone was watching them in camoflage.

[Hotaru987]

"Gahh!! Lance I am so sorry!" Kisa yelled, her face completely red from embarressment. "Here let me help you!" She was going to reach out but when Lance glared at her she froze in her tracks, laughed nervously and then quickly moved as far away from him as possible. And the fact that the other two were laughing wasn't making it better - in fact if it was possible Kisa turned even redder. It wasn't her fault! She lost her balance, and it's not like she knew he had a crossbow in his hands. Kisa's head dropped even more in an attempt to remain out of everyone sight. As soon as the HUMVEE stopped Kisa was one of the first ones out, and made sure to avoid Lance.

"Xingba...You don't think he'll stay mad at me for long right?" She mumbled fixing her glasses that was starting to slide down her small nose. "Maybe I should go and apologize again-but that glare was scary!" Kisa exclaimed hugging herself slightly.

With a sigh she got ready to help unload the equipment from the HUMVEE.

[Frybread002]

[color="#FF0000"]"One man's justice and another man's injustice. Besdies, IT WAS FRICKEN HILARIOUS!!"[/color] Xingba slapped his leg and began to laugh. [color="#FF0000"]"If anything, if it causes Lance misery, then I'm happy!"[/color] Xingba laughed out as well, giving Kisa a thumbs up for her action. [color="#FF0000"]"Anyway, let's just get this supplies off the jeep."[/color] Xingba said, as he begun to unpack the supplies.

[color="#0000FF"]"I heard everything..."[/color] Lance complained as he unloaded some 100lb worth of weapons and ammo.

[color="#FF0000"]"Ennhh..."[/color]

[u]Elsewhere[/u]

Not staying to see Rex's face, S'ai quicklyy walked off and said aloud [color="#FF8C00"]"Out of all the people that has to be here, Rex has to be here."[/color] S'ai said to no in particular. As far as he can remember, last time S'ai worked with Rex, the entire mission that the both of them on had nearly failed when Rex was in a drunk! However, when he glanced off to the distance, he'd seen some of the undead slowly but surely making their way towards them , off in the distance. Seeing how Wolf could wait, S'ai quickly ignored his current objective and ran back towards to the HUMVEE and shouted [color="#FF8C00"]"Lance towards the Sniper's Tower!! Xingba man the 50 Cal.!! Rodenski you're with me!! It's about time you seen how the XTC handles in combat Kitten."[/color]

[Sorrow.]

(OOC: Crap I was still writing this up..)

Rex was commanding some soldiers to set up more sand bags or to widen the perimeter until he heard a strange crash of cans, he turned around to see S'ai stiff as a tree he went up to him and smiled, " Hey bro you might want to open your eyes because we've got a horde coming, " Rex assured to S'ai, then he heard one of the soldiers at the front lines gasp. He turned around and looked in the far distance. A zombie horde that stretched half a mile long, Rex dropped his jaw, he hasn't seen that many zombies in a long time.

" That's a s** load of zombies, " Rex said to himself he looked at the other soldiers who were in awe as much as he is, he looked at them with quite disgust, " What the hell are you people doing, get movin'! "

He turned around to S'ai, " S'ai we're going to need a lot of help right now so go get those guys you boss around." He smiled at S'ai and started helping the rest of the soldiers by grabbing ammo crates and stacking them. For a long time Rex was looking worried.

[Hotaru987]

Kisa shrunk away from Lance, still not sure if he would attack her - or worse - glare at her. She began helping unload the equipment, struggling with some of them while having complete ease with the rest. Kisa was starting to daydream and lose focus in the task when S'ai came running back out and shouting orders. For what she wasn't exactly sure yet. Quickly taking a look at where S'ai was looking she saw some of the undead they were monerting earlier. Seems like they were determined to come closer. "Yuck...I don't want to be near those icky things..." Kisa stayed with S'ai like she was ordered. "Right, but if it's needed I can fight too. Just give me the ok."

[Frybread002]

[color="#FF8C00"]"Got what you asked for Rex!"[/color] S'ai shouted from half the distance as he began sprinting back. [color="#FF8C00"]"And what do you know? You're sober this time...right?"[/color] S'ai asked a little worried about his "bro." Bringing Kisa along, S'ai quickly introduced her to Rex and their somewhat "history" with each other. [color="#FF8C00"]"Anyway, aside from stale jokes, I'd remember facing guys like this back in Kijuju. And if I remember correctly, these guys can take any amount of shells to the torso and walk it off."[/color] S'ai stressed and continued, finally catching up to where Rex was. [color="#FF8C00"]"Since I don't have any jursidiction here, I really can't give out much expertise, so I'll just have to trust whoever is in charge of this excuss-of-a-base, and hopes he knows what he's doing."[/color] S'ai said, while he began to load up his AUG. [color="#FF8C00"]"So in terms of tactical advise, anything that goes bomb and cripples them is the best bet, so I would leave that to Lance O'naw. But before I ask for your opinion Rex, I need to talk to Kisa."[/color] S'ai responded to his own statement, and took Kisa a couple of feet away from the frontlines. [color="#FF8C00"]"*sigh*...Alright Kisa, so far I have only seen you without your glasses during drills and so far, you have responded to all of my commands under stress-free conditions...but are you sure you can handle yourself? I mean, this time, it's the real deal and these guys..."[/color] S'ai stopped short, unsure on how to put his feelings into words for the safety of his team.

[u]Elsewhere[/u]

Before doing his duties, Lance looked Kisa dead in the eye and said [color="#0000FF"]"You can apologize later."[/color] with a voice of sincerety and took off towards the sniper's tower. Walking up behind Ghost and Jack, Lance quickly introduced himself and why he was there, and began to unload his SVD Dragunuv Sniper Rifle. [color="#0000FF"]"Someone needs to be a Spotter, or are we on our own?"[/color] Lance asked.

[u]Elsewhere[/u]

After getting out his equipment, Xingba began to walk towards S'ai and noticed Rex. [color="#FF0000"]"Yo Rex! Long time no see!"[/color] Xingba shouted, and started to run towards Rex to greet him.

[Sorrow.]

Rex turned around and smiled, " Yeah you did get what I needed, and I just had one beer today.." After the introduction between himself and this confused child, " Well S'ai right now Wolf is busy instructing the others, and I'm running the front lines. There's about a half mile long of zombies coming up in the main entrance and there a click away from our position right now, do not fire until you smell the stench of them, " he informed S'ai and Kisha, then talked to Kisha, " You may want to plug up your nose little missy, I'm used to their smell but I don't know if you a young woman like you can handle it, take all the time you need... S'ai"

Rex continued his duties placing the ammo boxes where they were most needed. " Damn I need a beer right now," Rex whined as he desperately wanted the taste of the cold alcohol in the warm desert. Then Rex heard his name being called out by a familiar voice, " Hey X, how ya been hey listen we'll sit down and grab a beer after we deal with the meat bags.." Rex pointed at the zombies who are now just half a click away, he cocked his gun and smiled, " It's time to bring out the fireworks..."

[Frybread002]

[color="#FF0000"]"Nothing much man."[/color] Xingba responded in kind, while extending his arm to shake Rex's hand. [color="#FF0000"]"China being communist and what-not. Having my annual check stolen. The same old song and dance."[/color] Looking past Rex, Xingba noticed the large horde of the undead and chuckled to himself. [color="#FF0000"]"Before you set off the fireworks, I wanna do a raid on them."[/color] Xingba boasted a bit. [color="#FF0000"]"Besides, if you didn't know, I'm the great grand-son of the great Gan Ning himself!"[/color] Xingba chuckled, lightly punching his chest. [color="#FF0000"]"So if my grand-dad did a raid with only 100-horseman, I wanna 1-up him, and do it with 10 men. You with me? Or are you just going to find a some piece of warm, fermented water?"[/color] Xingba asked, slapping Rex in the back.

[Hotaru987]

"Believe me, when I really get into it the smell will be the last thing on my mind." Kisa said to Rex right before S'ai pulled her off to the side. He was expressing his worry for his friends should she not follow his orders after the change. There will be a lot going on, a complete 180 from the normal training drills that did together before she met the others. "Well..." She began, "As long as I can hear you it should be fine. Maybe I should have an ear piece just to be sure that I can hear you when to stop, or if I'm fighting the wrong people...."

To be honest Kisa was worried about that too. Something could go wrong and she could completely turn on her very allies, and thats the last thing she wants to happen. "If something does go wrong, then shoot me down." Kisa stared right into his eyes indicating that she was completely serious. If that's what it took to make sure the team isn't hurt because of her than so be it. She then turned it into a wide smile, "Let's just hope that everything goes well. I still have to apologize to Lance for the-huh, well you know."

[Sorrow.]

Rex looked depressed and looked down, " I'm gonna have to stay here and watch the front lines, these guys are lost with out me X..." He friendly punched Xingba in the arm with a smile, " I promise after this s*** is dealt with we'll hunker down at base and grab a nice cold one, Well you better get going the zombies are about to c-". Rex was interrupted by loud roars of zombie hostiles, the zombies were just 200 yards away. " Your raiding party is gonna have to wait chieftain, there coming now!" Rex grabbed the M-16 off the crate and aimed at the zombie a holes. He waited till the zombies started sprinting to them, then there was a silence except the sound of screaming zombies, " Blow the mother F***ers to their grave!" Rex shouted to the soldiers without taking his eyes off the zombies. He started firing at the Zombies and screaming angrily, " You better come and get some you blasting Zomb*tches!" His fierce shouts got the zombies even more angrier and angrier.

[Piercer of the Heavens]

"Alright" Age replied back to Leon. "I'll meet you there, but make sure you get there in time." Age and Leon parted ways for that moments and Age went to the storage room first to pick up as much ammo as he can possibly carry in a backpack he found in there. He pack some C4 knowing that Leon was going to want more. He also got some knifes as well as grenades, both smoke and frag and some ammo for many different types of weapons. As he left the storage room he saw a quiver against the wall where the door is. Age got closer to it and found out that the arrows had explosive tips and they were for a crossbow. "With a little carving I can use these with my long bow." Age took the quiver as well even though it only had around 10 arrows. Next Age went to the motor pool getting into a humvee. He took of leaving whatever wasn't necessary behind. Age got to the west gate and look at the time and said "Come on Leon, you only have one minute left. I don't want to leave you here."

[GreyCat]

Leon placed the last of his bombs in position and stuck the detonator in it. It blinked once to show it was ready. Satisfied, he hurried to join Age in the Humvee. "The others will try to defend this place. Call be pessimistic, but I give them a rather low chance of success. In the highly probable event that we do fail an attempt to secure this place and actually have to leave and do our actual mission, the C4 will make sure the would be victors of this skirmish realize just how sore a loser I am." He rifled through the goods Age grabbed. "Excellent, more C4. You can never have enough plastic explosives. No, shall we join a doomed venture? Just make sure the humvee is close."

[Mecha Love]

Wolf ran across the base gathering supplies, weapons and other equipment he believed was necessary to take. Guns, bombs, knives, the lot of them.
"Alright people move it! This base needs to be secure. If it isn't, which I really doubt we'll need to move fast! So go,go,go!
He took out his radio and shouted down it.
"S'ai! How are the defences? Rememeber, if we can't secure this place, we want the undead to be blown sky high! I'll randezvous with you later! Just rememeber, whjatever happens, they will not survive those zombies! Am I clear? Over!"
Lupa sighed. [i]We must fight this threat, no matter what the costs.[/i]

[Dwarven King]

The commander looked down from the ridge. Luckily for him, a horde of undead were heading towards the base. A perfect distraction.

"How were things at the humvee?" he asked.

"Cleared sir. They must have went back to the base." came a quick reply.

"I see." The commander stood there in deep thought creating a plan. Once he had once, he turned to the twenty men assembled around him. "Men. Our objective is to kill every last living person down there. Now, you all know the gory details and why we must do this. How? Well now that they are...accupied, this will be easier than I was hoping for. You fifteen! Swing around the back, blow a hole in the wall, and storm the place! Hit them from behind! The remaining five of you will stay here with me. If the finish off the undead and focus on our men, we will hit them. Either way, they will be stuck between a rock and a hard place." he finished with a chuckle.

(OOC: Look at all of you preparing to hunker down and fight off the zombies. You don't know that you are about to get hit by soldiers! ALSO! SNIPERS! THE RIDGE IS NOT WITHIN YOUR SIGHT! SO YOU CAN'T SEE THEM AND PICK THEM OFF! >.<)

[GreyCat]

Leon and Age rolled up ((sorry Monkey)) in the middle of Wolf's frenzy. Climbing out, he tossed a small black remote at him. "Catch commander," he side. The remote had three buttons, green, red and blue, recessed in it and covered with individual clear plastic tabs. "The base is rigged with C4 in very strategic places. Green button arms the infrared triggers placed in the map, armory and radio rooms. So if we fail, which we most likely will, the place will blow if they enter them. Red blows the fuel lines, burning the building by sparing the aforementioned rooms, giving the undead a cooking and us a chance to recover equipment. The fire will start on the other side of the building, so we should have time to evac if you press it. Blue blows the entire place shy high, on a ten second delay. Oh, pressing all of them at once blows the place sky high immediately."

"Now, if you need me, I will be over there, near the humvee, waiting for the defense plan to go bottom up so I can retreat quickly, contemplating all the flaws in this prospect and waiting for all hell to break loss. By the way, try not to press them by mistake. Blow to smithereens is not my ideal method of death. I prefer to do peacefully in my sleep." Leon didn't mince his words at all. He didn't know how Wolf would take it, but he most of dealt with worse soldier before. Besides, he was a paramilitary agent assigned to gather intel. "Try not to let too many of our men die, will you?" he said as he walked off. He held up a finger. "Oh, and you're welcome."

[Frybread002]

[color="#FF8C00"]"...*sigh*...fine..."[/color] S'ai responded grimly and nodded his head down, looking at the ground. Putting his arm around Kisa neck, S'ai attached a radio to her neck. [color="#FF8C00"]"Keep it on this fequency, it'll have only you and me..."[/color] S'ai said, looking up and locking his eyes with Kisa. [color="#FF8C00"]"If the worse comes...then I'll make it swift and painless. Now go see if Rex needs help."[/color] S'ai finished. Pointing his fingers towards the front-line and tried to avoid eye-contact with the Kisa that will change when she would take off her glasses...

[u]Elsewhere[/u]

[color="#FF0000"]"Gah! Great, so much for showing eh Rex?"[/color] Xingba retorted. [color="#FF0000"]"Anyway, need help with anything?"[/color] Xingba asked, tying a group of bells to his waist, his tradmark piece of clothing. Checking his M16, loading it, and making the sights down the barrel were accurate, Xingba moveds the frontline with Rex.

[Sorrow.]

Rex kept firing at the zombies with precision and anger, he looked to his right and saw a turret that was just sitting there not being used. " Xingba! Get on the big gun! " Rex yelled to Xingba and he returned his focus on the zombies, they were getting very close but not close enough that Rex had to use his machete. [i] Where the hell is Wolf at?[/i] Rex thought to himself while decapitating a couple of more zombies. He looked behind and saw Kisa looking at the zombies, he stopped shooting for a while grabbed a shotgun from a crate and handed it too Kisa, " Don't shoot at them until they are about 10 yards away, you clear?" Then Rex started blasting at the zombies once more, he started roaring once more.
