[Original RPG] Shadow War: All Good Soldiers (Valvolux)

Reflector · Post by **Reflector** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 9:31 pm

It is the year 2025. After the Quintessons' expulsion from Cybertron and a short period of detente while both sides rebuilt, tensions mounted and the war for territory has begun again. The Autobots have sent Grimlock and his Lightning Strike Coalition to scout Decepticon capabilities in the border region, Gigatron has sent Scorponok's Alpha Squadron to patrol the city-state and establish an outpost there. It is here in Valvolux that the opposing sides meet...

********

Town Center

In what had once been a shopping center, war has returned. Scorponok had tried and failed to convince the Autobots to head back to Iacon, but not very hard - he knew Grimlock would be easy to goad into a fight. (None of his troops knew, but that was part of his mission.) With communications broken, Scorponok snarled and fired his shoulder cannon across the square at Grimlock while raising his opposite claw in the air.

"Decepticons!" he cried. "Attack!"

Town Center

Vindicator had missed shooting at Autobots. And now was his chance.

Vindicator heard Scorponok's orders and didn't hesitate to carry them out. He quickly jumped out from his cover and began spraying the area with bullets shooting anything that moved.

Squawktalk crouched over a console on the roof of what had been a furntiure outlet. He manipulated the controls orhestrating the jamming of the Autobot's long range communication's.

Beatbox crouched low at the edge of the roof studying the situation below and watching his partner's back.

~*~

Landfill hauled himself up the slippery cable that had once led to the top of a four storey building . The stairs had been destroyed in some previous fighting and the lift machinery had seized long ago due to lack of maintenance.

Once he reached the top he would be in a perfect position to snipe at the enemy troops. Just in case.

~*~

His medic satchels thumping against his flanks Chainclaw crouched in a shell hole his cannon whirring as it tracked trying to get a target lock .

~*~

Chop Shop flew along the maintenance access conduit below the shopping centre towing a cable firmly lodged in his claws behind him. As he struggled to complete his mission to mine the area beneath the shopping centre before Scorponok's deadline expired. It seemed a lot of work for the possibility that the Autobot's would attack but who was he to argue with Scorponok.

Grimlock: -diving to the side as Scorponok's blasts zings by him, scowling- "Me hate getting beat to punch! Dumb 'Cons stealing my thunder!" -pulling rocket launcher and energo-sword-tail-thing- "Hardhead! Cover fire! Chromedome, Snarl! With me! LIGHTNING STRIKE COALITION! KILL 'CONS!!!!!!!" -jumps up, charging forward, firing at Scorponok-

Chromedome: "Sounds like a plan, Grimlock!" -following Grimlock, firing at Krok-

Hardhead: -transforming to vehicle mode, main gun roaring, flinging high explosive shells in a random dispersal pattern at the Decepticon's positions, shatterblasters targeting and firing at Loadrun and Charger-

------------

Ravage: -vehicle mode, rumbling along in the shadws, transforming to robot mode, proton cannons locking onto and firing at Hardhead-

Chainclaw charges out of his cover claws skittering on the surface gun firing at Scorponok lips drawn back in a snarl.

----------Town Center----------

"Heh heh heh." Rosdos grinned whiled heading toward town center. Thinking how it's like to be in the fight again remembering the days of Cybertron reclaimation and the thrill of fighting.
He dodged the bullets then came out of his cover and shoot at Vindictor with his blaster.

Hoist drove down the slope and turned in to robot mode near Hardhead "Told ya this gonna happen." The green mech aim his blaster at Loadrun and doing what opposite to his profession.

Landfill clung to the cable and levered open the doors to the elevator shaft.

They creaked open and he swung himself into the top floor of the abandoned department store. There was some kind of cafe area and a customer service counter as well as racks of spares and paint cans.

Landfill moved on his elbows and knees across the floor towars the row of shattered windows overlooking the square.

Vindicator continued to fire when he was hit with Rosdos' Blaster. Little damage had been done but it still hurt.He roared in anger and quickly turned to see the Autobot. "You will regret the day you decided to fire apon me Autobot!!!"Yelled Vindicator.

He the raised his sheild and his Chain gun and began fireing a hail of bullets at Rosdos as he made his way to better cover.

Landfill settled into position and slid Silencer into position. He peered through the targeting scope and lined up the crosshairs on one of the decepticons below. Some kind of tank. He gently depressed the firing stud and twin rifle shots shot out of the rifle's barrel and down towards the target. The silenced weapon made no sound.

Flintlock stood on a box and looked out of the window cautiosly eyes just clearing the ledge of the window. Acting as a spotter for his partner.

Quake ran and transformed into his tank mode and opened fire using both Tip-Top and Heater and his plasma cannon. He barraged anything that was in front of him almost not heeding if they were allies or not.

Town Center

Snarl charged in Grimlock's wake, drawing his assault carbine. The new weapon, which had replaced the laser rifle he lost in the Tarn debacle, hadn't seen much battle, and he wasn't quite as sure with it as he had been with his old weapon.

Only one way to change that.

Shouldering the rifle, he took aim on Quake and fired a stream of armour-piercing rounds at the Decepticon tank.

(OOC: He's got Actionmaster Snarl's gun now. Because it looks cool, that's why.)

Town Center

Scorponok turned his mighty bulk sideways to allow Grimlock's rocket to whiz past his shoulder, exploding against a storefront behind him. The commander turned and charged forward with his characteristic snarl, but he found his momentum stunted by Chainclaw's blast impacting his side.

Scorponok pressed on, firing a volley from his shoulder cannon at Chainclaw to keep the Pretender off his back while a burst from his tail cannon struck out at Grimlock. He didn't care as much about hitting the Dinobot as he did about keeping him distracted until he could get his claws on him...

At the rear line of the battle, Fixit squatted in an alley with his back against a steel wall. He paused from checking his rifle to duck his head when Grimlock's errant rocket hit the front of the store behind him.

town square

Krok had taken cover between one of the remnants of the market.
Charger and Loadrun had done likewise and kept their guns blazing.

“Fighting has begun anew” Krok mused. Still his spirit was better then it had been during the quint occupation. He had seen the decepticon glory. then he noticed snarl and his new weapon. "so you've got a new gun?" "let see what it can do..."
he turned to meet snarl head on.

Charger wasn’t the thinking kind. Every few clicks he peered over the barricade spouting plasma at hardhead and chromedome and then fastlane and fixit. he didn't really aim. he had hopes that the increased range and firepower of firebeast would do the trick.

Loadrun was more careful. not really build for battle he knew his weakness. he tried to pick off the leaders firing a few shots at grimlock without trying to attract too much attention to himself.

Hardhead: -rocking on his treads as fire from Ravage and Charger slams into him, sitting calmly in the cockpit of his transector, immediately assigning the higher threat value to Charger, pivoting turret, bringing his main gun to bear on the barricade that Charger is hiding behind, main gun roaring, flinging 10 high explosive anti-armor shells at the barricade, trying to blow it apart while using the shatterblasters to try to keep his head down-

Chromedome: "Ye-OW!" -staggering and falling as a stuttering of plasma blasts singe across his side and legs, transforming to vehicle mode and roaring forward, glad of his transector's armored hide and canopy, gunning the engine and roaring forward, targeting his roof mounted blasters at the advancing Scorponok-

Grimlock: -growling as he dives under Scorponok's tail shot, transforming to dino mode, the rocket launcher on his back flinging another rocket at Scorponok as he keeps charging towards the bulky Decepticon- "Me hope some part of you still squishy. Attack interrupt lunch!"

----------------

Ravage: -transforming back to vehicle mode, tires squealing as he roars around the edge of the battle, looking for eitehr easier prey or a better vantage point-

Quake moved quickly to the side narrowly avoiding the streak of rounds as they tore the ground up beside him.

He returned fire shouting.

"Thats nice Autobot but let me show you how and expert uses that type of firepower!" He roared back.

Post by **Warcry** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 5:36 am

Snarl glared at Quake, allowing a few of the Targetmaster's shots to graze his armour before returning fire in the Decepticon's direction. Then he side-stepped, putting the approaching Krok between himself and the enemy tank.

"Never really been much for shooting," he admitted, slinging his carbine's carry strap across his shoulder and drawing his energy claymore. "But, you know...you get lots of new stuff when you almost die. When I'm done with you, you'll see."

The Dinobot stepped closer to Krok, raised his blade over his head, and swung it down at the Decepticon in a strike intended to cut him from left shoulder to right hip.

Town Center

Scorponok collapsed into scorpion mode to keep the rocket from exploding on his head. Knowing that Grimlock now had the advantage of momentum (and wanting to keep his distance so that Loadrun could keep taking potshots at the Dinobot), Scorponok scuttled backward and toward the sidewalk, uprooting a long disused trash receptacle with his claw and hurling it at Grimlock. He glared at Chromedome when a shot knicked his armor, and he turned a quad cannon's attention toward the Headmaster. His scorpion legs dug into the street to brace for impact.

Fixit ducked into himself when Charger's shots rained down on him, but they fortunately impacted the walls and street around him. Not one for big risks, Fixit transformed to ambulance mode and whizzed out of the alley, swerving to avoid fire and find better cover. He hated hiding, but he knew he needed to at this point of the battle. They couldn't afford the medic getting shot.

Charger noticed the turret swinging to his make-shift barricade.
“time to split… literally!” he shouted while he threw firebeast to hardhead and he himself dashed towards a new cover. But the explosion of the barricade spun him to the ground. He felt the gyro of one leg bending under the strain. He rolled further to a new make-shift cover. If only he had a clear line of sight he could use his plasmablaster again…

Meanwhile firebeast transformed into beast mode and made a dash for hardhead, teeth and horn glowing in the reflection of the fires around him

“Dinobot wants to play?” Krok teased before he noticed the blade coming down. Quickly he dropped terragator and drew his gun but it was to late. Snarl’s blade slashed the gun and a large part of his arm in two. He cut off the pain receptors “Gator attack!” he cried. Gator jumped towards snarl . Meanwhile Krok prepared himself to kick snarl . He would feel what it felt being kicked by a star mecha-soccer player.

Post by **Warcry** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 7:08 pm

Snarl took a step back, shifting his sword into his left hand and bringing his right forearm up to meet Terragator's jump. He felt the gator's teeth start to tear into his armour and tried to bash the hilt of his sword into the Actionmaster partner's head as he continued to back away from Krok's easy kicking range.

Chainclaw staggered back as a near miss from Scorponok showered him with shards of flying debris. He stumbled and his claws skittered to find a purchase

~*~

Flintlock peered through his spotting scope.

"got the big boss at 1o'clock"

Landfill nodded imperceptibly.

"roger good buddy going to try for a head shot both barrels."

Landfill moved the crosshairs over Scorponok and gently squeezed the trigger.
