[Original RPG] Broken Peace: Ch 4 - Egypt

Post by **Warcry** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 5:53 am

[To cover the Decepticon power plant raid and any potential human or Autobot response]

Absolutely ecstatic to feel his wings cutting through the air again, Ransack couldn't help but go through a series of barrel-rolls and loops. Realizing that Overlord would probably frown on such showboating behavior, he righted himself and consulted his navigational computer.

"Come about 35 degrees to port," he told the other Decepticons. "And don't get distracted by all the pretty desert scenery. It's a short trip and the humans are probably still on alert from when I scouted the place."

Sunstorm made a bossting roll then turned the 35 degrees to port.
From inside, Megaplex's sensors were alert and scanning the surroundings but he remained quiet.
Sunstorm looked around.

"You call this scenery. Scenery is when all this burns!"

Overlord followed Ransack in the air.

"It's where you'll burn too if you don't shut up!" replied to Sunstorm.

Banzai-Tron followed behind the showboating Decepticons at a safe distance.

"If you slagheaps don't stop clowning around you will alert every autobot in this quadrant of the galaxy to our mission!"

Had Ransack been a human, he would have rolled his eyes at Sunstorm’s comment. “No. I call it sarcasm, yellow boy.” He was about to deliver a similar reply to Banzai-Tron when his navigational computer let out a soft beep. “Crossing into Egyptian airspace,” he said.

Al-Bashir Air Force Base

“Colonel! Colonel! We have bogeys coming in from Carbombya!”

Lieutenant Colonel Sidiq Aziz took a moment to rub the fatigue from his eyes before responding to his radar control officer. “Same target as before?” he asked.

“Yes, sir.”

“How many contacts?” the colonel demanded.

“Four, sir. But one of them is quite large.”

Aziz muttered a blasphemous phrase under his breath. “Are the two Phantoms still in the air?”

“Yes, sir. They’re returning to base right now, but haven’t landed.”

“Good.” Aziz stroked his neatly-trimmed beard. “Turn them around and have them confront the intruders.”

The radar controller’s reply was even more profane than Aziz’s had been. “You’d be condemning them to death!”

“I know,” the colonel nodded. “But we need to buy time. If we can scramble the rest of the squadron and get General Ahmed to move some tanks into position, we might be able to protect the power plant.”

The officer frowned unhappily, but relayed the order.

Aziz watched on the radar board as the two F-4s turned towards the oncoming Decepticons.

May Allah forgive me.

“Hey, Sunny,” Ransack grinned as his sensors picked up the oncoming fighters, “you think you can handle those guys on your own?”

Sunstorm, after being somewhat angered at Ransack's smiled and deactivated his shield. His reactor began to beat heavier and heavier.

"Is that truly a question... or would you yourself rather be my first target. Nonetheless a unit can destroy them more effectively."

Megaplex transformed into his robot mode and jumped from inside Sunstorm to the outside.

Sunstorm made a slight noise then proceeded to go on to attack the fighters, his reactor beating and beating more heavily each time, radiation filling the air.

Ransack chuckled. "If I questioned your skills, Sunny, I'd have taken the humans myself."

The lead fighter began to move erratically,it's systems malfunctioning and it's pilot feeling ill from the radiation. He let loose a poorly-aimed machine-gun barrage at Sunstorm.

The second fighter, far enough away that it didn't yet feel the effects of Sunstorm's attack, fired a pair of missiles at Megaplex.

DrEvil · Post by **DrEvil** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 10:21 am

Megaplex raised his arm to cover himself from the small missiles.

"Puny Humans!"

Megaplex transformed into his gun mode and fired a Freeze Shell at the second fighter.

The barrage only singed Sunstorm's wing a little knocking some of the outer metal off.

"You dare try to destroy a being of light. Then let the light engulf you!"

Sunstorm fired two Burst Missiles at the fighter.

Lord Zarak · Post by **Lord Zarak** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 7:08 pm

Overlord opened a comm channel to Banzai-Tron:
"Follow me to a safe distance. Ransack, Megaplex and Sunstorm can take care of the humans pityful efforts."

Post by **Warcry** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 8:33 pm

His abilities impaired by Sunstorm’s radioactive attack, the pilot of the first fighter was unable to avoid the burst missiles. He vanished in a flash of light.

The second fighter tried to dodge Megaplex’s freeze shell, but it hit his right wing. The fighter began to wobble as the shell’s liquid helium caused the wing to crack.

Ransack simply stood off from the fight, confident that the other Decepticons could handle themselves.

"Copy that Overlord "Banzai-Tron replied

The sooner he was on the ground the better

DrEvil · Post by **DrEvil** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 11:50 am

Megaplex blasted another freeze shell at the fighter jet.
"This time, you freeze over human!"
Megaplex fired a second shot at the fighter jet hopefully making sure that it would be the end of the little engagement.

Sunstorm smiled when he saw the fighter jet vanish. He looked at the other, which Megaplex was dealing with, then he turned and flew over to Ransack.

"Satisfied"

Post by **Warcry** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 4:04 am

The freeze shells hit the fighter jet just below the cockpit, spraying their contents towards the left engine's intake. The engine sucked in the liquid helium, then began to develop cracks as it froze. Within seconds, the engine crumbled into dust and the fighter spiralled from the sky.

Ransack heard Sunstorm's comment, but waited until Megaplex had dealt with his foe before answering. "You know," he said, "that was impressive." He waggled his wings in a show of mock-respect, then tore off after Overlord and Banzai-Tron.

"Come on, Sunny! We don't want to miss all the fun, do we?"

Colonel Aziz watched with discomfort as the two fighters disappeared from the board. He spun on his communications officer. "Well? What does the general say?"

"He says..." The officer cleared his throat. "He says no, sir."

"What?!"

"He said...it's too dangerous, we can't beat the Decepticons." The officer's eyes sank towards the ground, and he added, "He also ordered you to recall your fighters."

"Never!" Aziz pounded his fist on his desk. "The rest of the squadron will stay on course for the power plant. Understood?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good. Now get me a sattelite uplink, immediately!"

The comm officer frowned. "Why, sir?"

"I need to send a little transmission to America. Colorado, to be exact." The colonel stroked his beard thoughtfully. "If our dear general won't fight to protect Egypt, I'm going to find someone who can!"

"Of course, sir." The communications officer turned back to his post. "I'll have that uplink for you in a few minutes."

Lord Zarak · Post by **Lord Zarak** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 10:19 am

Overlord saw Ransack, Megaplex and Sunstorm destroy the last fighter.
"Lets get back on track for the power plant. The humans probably know that to be our target. Ransack, take the lead again. Sunstorm, cover our rear. We dont want any unpleasant surprises"

DrEvil · Post by **DrEvil** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 11:25 am

Megaplex laughed eerily before transforming into the Walther P38 and resting inside Sunstorm's cockpit.

Sunstorm gave out a growl at Ransack but then took the rear.

"Understood... sir"

Post by **Warcry** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 7:08 pm

Ransack made an amused noise at Sunstorm, then sped up and moved to the front of the formation.

"We should be able to see the place in a few astroseconds," he noted.

Lord Zarak · Post by **Lord Zarak** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 9:28 pm

ooc- at a funeral tomorrow (weds), so I'm getting this out of the way. if its out of order, do what you see fit. ta.

BIC:

The plant came into view. Overlord opened up a comm-link to the other Decepticons:

"Sunstorm, Ransack provide constant air cover. Human, Autobot...I don't care. Destroy them. Megaplex, Banzai-tron you are to harvest the power plant of its energy whilst Mega and Giga manufacture energon cubes. If there are any problems, ask them."

Overlord landed a short distance from the power plant, and transformed into his base mode. Giga and Mega began preparations to make the empty energon cubes.

"We should be ready to begin production in five minutes, Darling" said Mega to Giga.

Ransack chuckled. "Whatever you say, boss."

Noticing that terrified humans were flooding out of the plant and heading for the parking lot, the green and purple Decepticon dove down towards them and began to spray their vehicles with machine gun fire.

"No, no no," he said with amusement in his voice, "no fleeing!"

The humans scattered, most heading back for the plant but a brave few diving in the river and attempting to swim for freedom. Ransack let them go.

Colonel Aziz frowned. "Why isn't the rest of the squadron there yet?"

"They couldn't move as fast as the Decepticons," the radar officer explained. "They'll be in firing range in three minutes."

The colonel turned to his communications officer. "And that uplink?"

"The sattelite is moving into position now, sir. Five minutes."

Aziz muttered a blasphemy under his breath, then turned back to his monitors and watched the Decepticons butcher the people he was supposed to be protecting.

DrEvil · Post by **DrEvil** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 11:13 am

Megaplex transformed out of Sunstorm's cockpit and landed in his robot mode on the ground below near Banzai-Tron.

"It is time for the mission"

Sunstorm screamed at Ransack.

"Destroy them. We cannot let them go. We must destroy them where they stand!"

He began making a strange speech about himself, a being of light while his lasers fred onto the humans below.

Post by **Warcry** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 8:14 pm

Ransack had to restrain a laugh at Sunstorm’s babbling. However, he humoured the seeker by spraying more machine gun fire at the escaping humans. Caught between his bullets and Sunstorm’s lasers, the humans dropped like flies.

As Megaplex landed, nearby humans scattered in terror. Several of them were heard to whisper the name ‘Megatron’ as they fled.
