[Original RPG] End of the Line: Invasion (San Francisco)
End of the Line: Invasion (San Francisco)
In an attempt to gain control over a major shipyard, a Decepticon team lead by Scorponok heads out to conquer and terrorize the human city of San Francisco. With the shipyard's industrial capabilities in their hands, Gigatron's master plan will come one step closer to completion. Autobot intervention is a certainty...meaning that this peaceful human city is about to become a battleground!
It was a beautiful day. Fog hung in the air, so thick that it seemed like the clouds had reached down to touch the ground. The San Francisco skyline was shrouded by the mists, the buildings looking more like a jagged row of teeth than man-made structures.
Ryan gazed at the sight for a few seconds, then turned to the tour group he was escourting.
"Welcome to Alcatraz Island, folks. As you can see, we have a wonderful view of the city here. But none of you are here to see the skyline, are you?"
After the small crowd murmured agreement, he continued,
"Of course, of course. You're here to see the prison, and I don't mean to disappoint. If you'll follow this-"
He stopped talking as he heard a loud droning noise coming form underwater. As he glanced towards the source, he saw a streamlined, copper-coloured vessel shoot out into the air. The craft circled the island, then came down for a landing on a flat stretch of land. As Ryan watched in horror, a landing ramp decended. A Decepticon symbol was emblazoned on it.

Scorponok stalked out of the cockpit and glared at Nightracer, Tempest and Echoshift.
"Leave no structure standing on the island. Kill any humans that resist, but leave some alive for hostage purposes. When their fleet arrives, give the Seacons whatever help they'll need to sink it."
Without giving any chance for questions, Scorponok stalked down the ramp.

Several human guards rushed out towards the landed shuttle and opened fire on Scorponok and Nightracer with their sidearms.
Scorponok ignored the bullets pinging off his armour, secure in the knowledge that the fire from human pistols wouldn't harm even the weakest Cybertronian.
Transforming to his scorpion mode, the commander fired a blast from his electric tail cannon into one of the old prison's guard towers. The structure crumbled at the point of impact, then collapsed to the ground.

One of the guards didn't rush to attack the Decepticons. Instead, he picked up a phone and dialed the number for the local military command post.

Tempest saw the humans run towards his comrades and would have had a glint in his eye if he was in robot form. He lifted his nose cone then shoved it back down, twirled in the air and fired off rounds from his energon weaponry at the humans, he levelled out and aimed for a guard tower towards the centre of the island.
Several humans were struck dead-on by Tempest's energy fire. Their deaths were...less than pretty.
Scorponok fired a blast at the main prison building, blowing a sizable hole in it's southern wall.

Tempest transformed as some of his missles hit the tower and watched it crumble and the west side. He ran towards one of the last guard towers and withdrew his sword, he drove the blade down into the top of tower and moved it away from him.
While he did this he made sure to know which directions the humans were running.

"Ew."
Echoshift looked up as Tempest went past overhead, the other Decepticon having just finished splattering several of the humans against a nearby wall-- a wall that Echoshift happened to have been standing a bit too close to.
"Try not to make too much of a mess, wouldja?"
With that, the Eurofighter went back to concentrating on levelling the buildings again.

Scorponok continued to blast nearby buildings. While he didn't enjoy the demolition in the slightest, he made sure to roar furiously and cackle to create the impression that he was revelling in it.

Tempest saw the tower crumble to the ground in front of him, he saw which way the humans went but his attention was now turned onto the navy that approached the island.
"Seacon's, time do your thing, the navy is here to try and give us a fight. Good Hunting."
Tempest jumped into the air and transformed, he sped straight towards the F-18 fighters, he fired off a volley of energon rounds, activated his Hyper Thrust, flew past his own energon rounds and past the jets. He transformed. drew his sword and cut one of the jets in half then went after some of the ships.

Echoshift narrowed his optics on spotting the F-18s, allowing a pleased grin to spread across his face.
"Alright, time for some real fun and games..."
The gray Eurofighter leapt up and transformed in mid-air, making a beeline for the nearest group of human-piloted jets. Approaching them head on, he pulled up at the last minute to pass straight over them and twisted to make a turn before doubling back again. He opened fire on them from behind.

Several of the F-18s were destroyed by Tempest and Echoshift's attacks, but more rose from the carrier deck to take their place.
The aircraft carrier slowed, the two cruisers that were escourting it to move forward alongside one of the destroyers. Missiles began to launch from the three ships, targetting the four Decepticons.
A pair of submarines dove, searching for enemy targets.
Meanwhile, another destroyer and a frigate began to circle the aircraft carrier, dropping depth charges to defend against underwater attack.

Scorponok batted a cruise missile out of the air, sending the projectile spiralling off into a nearby human building. Transforming, the commander started to stalk off into the water that surrounded the island. His line of travel pointed directly towards one of the approaching cruisers.

The two subamarines fired missiles towards Piranacon.

Scorponok stalked up to the cruiser he was targeting, the water lapping up over his optics. He jammed a claw into the side of the ship, then started to climb it's hull.
The cruiser started to list to the port as water seeped into the holes that Scorponok's claws had torn into the hull.

Tempest flew twoards and saw the missles come, he dodged some of them, destroyed a few more, but two hit his chest. It knocked Tempest backwards in the air, put a dent in his armor, but he flew towards the aircraft carrier still. He landed on the deck, ran forwards, cut the control deck and kicked it violently.
Echoshift saw the next wave of F-18s approaching from the carrier, and ducked momentarily out of the way. Landing and transforming to robot mode, the Eurofighter took the opportunity to pepper another building with gunfire before looking back up and targeting the incoming jets.
