[i]Several men come out of the buildings. They were wearing clothes that were like the ghostly anomalies.[/i]
???: "Freeze, bitch!"
Xavier: "Oh great, them."
[i]They draw out their pistols, then they started firing at Adam and the rest. One of the bullets grazed Adam's shoulder, which actually hurt. Everyone shifted into cover, preparing with whatever they have.[/i]
Xavier: "You're going to need this."
[i]He tosses you a M4, a fresh mag loaded in. He also materialises a 1911 for himself.[/i]
[i]Your powers are reduced to only a point where you could throw pure energy and stuff like that.[/i]
English
-
[i]"One, OW. Two, gimme a sec," I said, focusing on the energy. Not nearly as much as before, or as easy to control, but it was something, and I could make it work. Getting what I wanted, I turned to Xavier. "Swap with me, and get ready to stack up. I'm going to generate a shield in front of us as we move up."[/i]
-
Xavier: "You got it." [i]Xavier swapped, then started preparing his powers.[/i]
-
[i]"We'll move around to flank them," I said, before taking a deep breath. In an instant, a translucent tower shield of pure energy formed on my forearm, about four feet high and three feet across. "Here goes everything," I mumbled, before moving out from behind cover, shielding the both of us as we moved.[/i]
-
???: "They've got a shielder! Focus fire on them!" [i]The attackers start concentrating fire on your shields, hoping to break it down. Meanwhile, Xavier tosses Psionic balls of energy, taking down each man.[/i]
-
[i]I grunted under the heavy strain of the fire, but we managed to get to the next bit of cover unharmed. "Alright, that trick isn't going to work twice," I said, flinching as bits of masonry exploded from the suppressive fire. We had made it to the end of one of the many streets connecting to the plaza, and we're taking cover behind the corner of a building. "No doubt they'll send some around to flank us, so we need to do something now. Any ideas?"[/i]
-
"Well, I-" [i]His speech is interrupted when the part of the building collapses, almost caving in. A couple of explosions were heard when the building collapsed, meaning that the attackers had a explosive weapon of sorts.[/i] "...I was planning to control one of their men, so that I could get the jump on them. I need you to cover my back while I try to possess one of them."
-
[i]"I'll see what I can do. No guarantees, though." With that, I called up the the energy again. This time, I shaped it into something a bit bigger calling a dome shield into being around us. "Alright. Not sure how long this will hold under fire, and I can't do much else while maintaining it. Whatever you're gonna do, do it quick."[/i]
-
[i]Xavier quickly pulled out his Psi Amp. Purple and Black flowed into his arms, then it flowed into his glasses. He releases the energy, controlling one of the attackers. Xavier puts back his Amp, then starts commanding it.[/i] ???: "Get... Outta... My... Head..." [i]The assailant gets overtaken by darkness, attempting to fight back. It easily overtakes him though, and he starts getting into a cover away from the others, then starts firing at his comrades.[/i]
-
[i]Huh. XCOM. What's next, Lord of the Rings? Star Trek? Then the guys who had flanked us started shooting the shield. Which, newsflash to anyone who's never maintained a psionic shield under fire, hurts like a bitch. To distract myself from the pain, I started reciting an old poem I was find of. Seemed appropriate, give the situation. "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole..."[/i]
-
[i]Xavier somehow managed to provide covering fire, shooting the flankers and mind controlling someone. The connection is cut short when the one being controlled was killed.[/i] "Ah, crap."
-
[i]"You wouldn't happen to have any other tricks up your sleeve? Like, I dunno, telekinesis? Lighting spells? Freaking, maybe a null lance or some soul fire, if you wanna stick with the shtick?" I ground out as the pounding recommenced.[/i]
-
"Ah, screw this." [i]Xavier stood up and started to generate a transparent energy. It looked like glass, distorting what you looked through it. He then pounded the ground, altering the ground and sending the flankers into the air. They then were frozen in place, in awkward positions in the middle of falling. Xavier then shot several bullets, their trajectory stopped by the energy freezing them in place. He snapped his fingers, resuming the bullets to their lethal course and literally dropping them.[/i]
-
[i]"Well, that's a relief," I said, finally dropping the shield. Of course, I summoned the wall shield from earlier, just in case there were any more.[/i]
-
"Oh, right. I almost forgot that the people we pulled out of being stuck in time are still out there. And..." [i]You hear that the battle is tied.[/i] "... They're actually holding out. Huh."
-
[i]Pulling out the pistol, I looked back at the flankers. "What do you say to giving the bastards a taste of their own medicine?"[/i]
-
"Yeah. You got any plans?"
-
[i]I paused, looking over at Xavier incredulously. "I literally just said 'taste of their own medicine' while looking down the way those guys flanked us from. What do you think?"[/i]
-
Edited by Tamedfrog: 7/22/2016 12:34:36 AM"Hey, this is your training. Okay? I need to know that if you are skilled enough to fight them off." [i]Xavier walked over to a wall and blindly fires over his cover. It hits a attacker or two.[/i] "Well?"
-
[i]"That, my friend, is what the shield and element of surprise is for. Personally, I'd prefer a lot more firepower than this - say, a high-mobility combat mech - but this'll do. Now, let's get going."[/i]
-
[i]Xavier nods.[/i] "I'll run interference, you shoot them up." [i]Xavier then took his position, like a man in a 100m sprint. He then took off in a ridiculous speed, rushing towards each of the attackers and taking them down in quick succession. The attackers start to focus fire on Xavier.[/i]
-
[i]"Well, I was more thinking going the long way around, but I guess this works," I said, coming around the corner. With my shield, I didn't really need any solid cover, so I simply advanced, taking slow, measured shots to take down the remaining targets not decimated by Xavier. Soon enough between the two of us, it was clear.[/i]
-
[i]It goes silent.[/i] "Check their bodies for anything useful. Never know what you could find."
-
[i]"But... we're in a dream simulation. None of this is real. I think."[/i]
-
"Well, we aren't getting out until we escape the fracture, which is the area we are in now. We have to get to my home base, which is a few kilometres away from us."
-
[i]I sighed. "Of course it's not just 'hey, we won, answers abound'." I started searching through the bodies, though, looking for anything interesting.[/i]
