Cylus ducked beneath the kick and swept low at Marker's right foot
English
-
The kick landed, and Marker clearly stumbled, but used it to punch Cylus in the visor
-
Cylus rolled back, and then charged as Marker tried to gain his ground.
-
Marker stepped to the side, and jutted his arm out. Cylus ran directly into Marker's arm, and Marker kicked Cylus in the back of the legs, bringing him to his knees and getting him in a chokehold "OH SHIT!" One of the grunts suddenly jumped up, and the group ran towards the fighting two, pulling Marker away and forcing him to let go of Cylus. "Cylus, you alright partner?" Davis knelt down besides Cylus, as Marker was released by the grunts and came over
-
"I'm fine, I'm fine. You know I could have had him... Although I'm not entirely sure what just happened." Cylus said, rubbing his neck. He allowed Davis to help him up and looked at Marker curiously. "Marker?"
-
"I don't know..." Marker said, looking around the grunts "It looked like Marker had snapped your neck from where we were...." Davis said cautiously, looking at Cylus, almost fearful.

He breathed heavily and the sweat from his brow. "That suit is slower than mine is and was dragging me down. But I won't be that guy, so well played." he says, reaching to shake Marker's hand with a chuckle. "When you said that you wouldn't go easy on me, I wasn't expecting [i]this.[/i]"
-
"Yeah, apologies..." Marker said, shaking Cylus' hand and nodding "On the bright side, it looked pretty awesome!" One of the grunts said, extremely giddy.
-
"You'll have to show me the tape." Cylus says with a smile. "Can I get changed now?" Cylus asks, clearly anxious to get back into his own suit
-
"Yeah, go for it. We're going back to the base after this. You're ready for tomorrow."
-
Edited by BondyMilk: 6/19/2017 4:23:23 AM"And tomorrow is...?" Cylus asks. "Ah hell, just brief me on the way there." He gets up, shakes Davis' hand, nods to Bear and the grunts, and then collects his gear and vanishes behind a tree. A minute or so later, he emerges once again in his suit. Dropping the pilot suit on the crate, he approaches the group mumbling to Q. [quote]*From my point of view it looked like you got your ads whooped.* Q says teasingly[/quote] "Well from my point of view, I don't have to build you a body!" Cylus says. [quote]* ... * [/quote]
-
"Shit..." Marker laughed a little bit, shaking his head and looking over to Cylus "Hey, take a look at this." He motioned for Cylus to come over, and looked at a laptop that was sitting on the stump of a cut down tree "Rewind it." One of the grunts hit rewind on the laptop and the screen reminded to the fight of the two. The grunt presses play, just in time to see when Cylus had run into Marker's arm. From the viewpoint of the camera, it looked as if Cylus' head had snapped upwards.
-
"So that's what it looks like from the other side... Not my [i]proudest[/i] moment." Cylus says, joining in on the laugh
-
"It [i]was[/i] pretty cool looking. I'd be proud." Marker said with a laugh, as he patted Cylus on the back. "Now. Bear, gather the rest of the supplies up. Deliver them to the bases, alright? Cylus, you wanna go back to base or Dojo?" [spoiler]-Go back to the base -Go back to the Dojo [/spoiler]
-
"Wherever you feel is best. Not like I have much else to do."
-
"We'll go back to the Dojo. Got a present for ya." Marker started walking towards the edge of the clearing, specifically towards the cargo box that was suspiciously close to the forest "See you grunts later." He said, waving over his head towards the group
-
Cylus waves goodbye and follows Marker to the crate. "What have you got for me this time? Is it a surprise?" he asks
-
"Remember that shipment of arms I was talking about?" Marker asked, stopping at the crate. He pushed off the top, and there were at least a dozen assault rifles stacked on top of each other with a number of magazines underneath them "14 R-201 Assault rifles, with four magazines of ammo for each one. Just a small gift to you." Marker said with a laugh, gazing at the weaponry
-
"Nice stuff you've got here." says Cylus as he picks up one of the guns. "Fitted stock, fully automatic, holo sights... Ooh, and a visible ammo count! What kind of ammunition can it take?"
-
"Our standard cartridge for the R-201 is typically a 8.19 mm bullet type." Marker said, picking one of the guns up himself
-
Edited by BondyMilk: 6/19/2017 5:27:25 AM"Huh. I'll have to get a shipment next chance I get." he says
-
"If you'd like, I can take it back. Get you some Hemlocks that use the 7.62 mm."
-
"How are those? Whichever you recommend." Cylus notes, putting the rifle down.
-
"Those aren't semi-automatic. They fire in three round bursts, better for longer range engagements than the assault rifles here. But not as great in the close range, where they'll be beat out by the R-201."
-
"Hrmm." Cylus thinks for a moment. "Well for close encounters I usually stick to my pistols and knives... So that wouldn't be at problem. And I do have quite the trigger finger." he says. "So if it wouldn't be too much of a problem, the Hemlocks sound pretty nice."
-
"Sure thing. I'll get those in during the next shipment, granted that won't be for a bit but I think you'll manage." Marker clasped the cover back over the crate and walked into the forest. "Now come. We'll run back to the Dojo."
