In Defense of the [REDACTED] - Turn 5

Post by Dienekes22 » Fri Oct 22, 2021 1:24 am

I intended this to go another turn, but I changed my mind, so if you feel I didn't follow your orders very close that's why.

Image

"This is the time!" one of the jet troopers announces to his fellows. He doesn't know that this has a different meaning to one of them.

Image

They fly up as the gun line prepares a final barrage.

Image

Two of the troopers dive straight down, their jet packs set to detonate upon arrival. One trooper, however, simply drifts further into the sky.

Image

They hit the deck.

Image

"FIRE!" shouts the officer.

Image

The concussion from the explosion above rips at the seams of the concrete and assists the barrage that tears into the weakened wall, obliterating it.

Image

The interior defenders fire, killing one Terrorkhan.

Image

However, they don't survive the response.

Image

Far above, the remining jet trooper reveals himself to be...

An Imperial Magikstrate undercover operative!

Image

Terrorkhan charge into the breach.

"Wait, what?" one of them says in disbelief.

Image

"Um... I can explain," the ghostly visage of Dienekes says from inside the bunker.

Image

"W̶̫̖̙̖̣̲̦̝̦̳̮͊̿̀̈́̉̈́̊̇͌̊̋̉́̓̋̿̈́̕͜͠H̵̡̙̹͔͙͔͎͙̲̜̫̬̠̠͇̾̈́̑̑̈̅̾̾̂͂͂̀̕A̸̢̡̛̱͔͓̱̲̞̯̲̜͖͉̠̹̞ͅT̶̺͕̏̋͐͒̅̌͘" shouts Eldon, sprinting from afar, sensing the impossible amount of rule fudging bullshit that has just occurred. He splatters the remaining skeletal minion in his rush.

Image

The visage of Dienekes begins to fade, his task completed. The scientist has been given the last information she needs. It is already uploaded to Skion's network of battle computers. The Immortals are too late.

Image

A sudden gust of power shoves the Terrorkhan far from the breach in the wall.

Image

Elyana Remade steps into the sun, a weapon of great power in her hands.

"So this is it, then?" she says as she finally understands the heroic power that her plastic form struggles to contain.

Image

Nearby, the War Manager blasts a Dominon trooper to death.

Image

He positions himself to intercept the Core, should it be extricated by the defense.

Image

Artor finds himself under fire from the Immortals...

Image

But it's one final shot from the IM that does him in.

Image

He crawls to safety under the withering firepower of his enemies.

Image

He lies amongst the ruin of battle, awaiting rescue. Though he is not dead, he is certainly out of action.

Image

The rocketeer kills two Legionnaires with a well placed shot.

Image

Their hero engages the Devastator...

Image

But is harmed by his counter. She has 1HP remaining!

Image

Mr. Skeltal tries to doot his horn to stun his foes, but he fails and is stunned himself! The Phalanx are unable to harm him, however.

Image

Elyana storms into the open.

Image

Her blade cuts through the Immortals with ease.

"Run!" she shouts into the darkness of the bunker.

Image

The scientist dashes off, careful to carry the Core safely, wary of the dangers in its power.

Image

The Devastators surround her.

Image

They forgot to look to the sky.

Image

The IM operative is single minded.

Image

The scientist is slain and the Core is dropped.

Image

Unable to grab it just yet, he stages nearby.

Image

Eldon charges...

Image

But Elyana has been taught well and she pushes him aside with magikal power. She just needs to give her people a few more moments...

Image

The Devastator fails to hit the IM hero and is killed on a counter.

Image

Then the infiltrator is slain.

Image

The Dominion medik revives the Skion engineer.

Image

Mr. Skeltal is toppled with an impressive overskill, falling to the dirt with a clatter of bones and doots.

Image

The Phalanx both head to support their comrades, but can't do much else.

Image

The Luchardsko heavy makes quick work of the War Manager.

Image

The Devastator captain carefully grabs the Core...

Image

"Should we give chase, ma'am?" an IM trooper asks.

"No," she replies, " something worse is coming. We'll have another chance."

Image

Elyana makes her own escape under the watchful eyes of a hated foe...

Image

"I̴̭̖͖̟͓̯̣͊̎͠ͅ'̶̨͙̪̟͖͓̘̯̘̣̖͙̔̓̅ṁ̸̡̢̟͇̝̙̺̬̭̳̟̹͓̇̏͑́̂̄̔ͅ ̴̡̢̲̱̘̹̞̯͕͙̘̀̎̇s̷̛͎̓̋o̸͚͇̪̓r̵͈͕̬͉͑̓̋ṟ̷̩̼̫̜͒͋̓̅͆͆͌͘y̴̢̞̭̦͉͋̏̎̄͌͛͗,̵͙̝̙̰̲̗̣̱̭̞̈́̂̋̈̇̃̈͠ ̸̡̧͍̖̥̻̮̘͍̖͖͚̖̭̉̐̎͆̌̇͠͝͝m̸̨͉͍̼̾̒̑̓̔̋̈́̓̍͋̈́̚ă̸͎̮̲͔͇̇͛̃̈́͆̓̓̊͆̚͝s̷̻̜̯̤͋̽͛̿̂͌͒̔̐̈̑̎͝ţ̴͓̣̜̪̬̖̞̅̓̂̅̋̽̀͗͠e̷͙̼͌ṟ̵̻̫̜̐̏̾̆͝," Eldon says humbly.

"No, no, you did well..." the Lambda Shard says with a grin. "This is just getting started."

"Besides, Dienekes told that new magik one about a special, incredible weapon. We can't let her make use of it just yet..."
