The Calvary

Ryan leads the charge as the team tries to keep as best as they can, it turns out the portal was actually not that far from what looks to be a stone walled complex of homes, towers, and defensive positions. One of the towers is a smoking wreck, the flames visible in the night sky framing the attack that is already underway…

The structure is a rough square some several hundred feet on a side with four towers at each corner, there are three small homes/buildings in the interior with a more heavily fortified structure towards the center with vehicles and a well out front.

Karen shakes herself free from Ryan's grasp as he descends. She barely touches the ground as she leaps forward toward what seems to be the main building. Her body becomes transparant in midair, intending to scout ahead of the group while Mark searches the other buildings.

"We're in a hurry," Ryan says crossly as he sets himself and Clover down in front of the main building. Which means that if we're smart, we're not going to waste time scouting. We'll just bust in and take everyone out before they know what hit them.

Too bad we're not smart, Ryan thinks as he shields himself with his protective force field and energizes himself with cosmic power. "Don't try and copy my powers," he whispers to Clover as he sneaks towards the door of the main building as well. "And unlike our friend Karen, neither of us has any desire to see a terrorist walking free. Right?"

Inside the Fortress

The teens get a good look at the chaos up close and personal. Several UNJE Field Agents are warping to the ground with and taking out baseline insurgents with frightening accuracy and precision. A team of soldiers’ breaks off and takes cover behind smoking heaps that were vehicles training their weapons on the teens, fifteen strong in all. One of the soldiers speak with an electronically modulated voice, “Stand down! You are interfering with a UNJE operation, stand down, lethal force is authorized.” The voice repeats the same sentence in several languages.

Another two teams of field agents proceed towards the burning tower, a tank casually tossed aside as Paragon prepares to lead the UNJE soldiers inside. Casualties are high on the insurgent side.

Anika

[sblock]She can make out the blue outlines of two spider tanks positioned around the burning tower. Both of the aerodynes float overhead, equally cloaked. A second team of cloaked agents is moving to flank the teens on the ground around the main building.[/sblock]

“I CAN TELEPORT!” and then James is gone.

The rhino woman curses, “Not good?”

“Oy! We got UNJE soldiers piling in the place, won’t be long before we got them blokes down here. Christ on a trike, they got Paragon with ‘em…” a disembodied voice calls out.

"Why thank you James, you just won a spot on my 'As reliable and trustworth as Ryan list'." Cassie mutters to herself as she shakes her head. Time to leave, smack James hard later.

She looks for a way OUT of this mess, moving to keep in the shadows while looking for some option on a way out. An aerodyne or perhaps just running she thinks as she peeks out to see what choas is going on outside. Tactically, she thought to herself, this had to be one of the WORST situations she'd been in.

“So now what?”

Gilden stands for a moment watching the space that the portal had been. Disappointment is easy to read on his face, whether it is because they went or he didn't go is hard to tell.

"The only thing we can do at this moment," he replies coldly. "Inform the one person that I think we can trust... Jun Min." He states as he turns and heads down the corridor. Getting directions from Sarah, he will find Jun Min and tell her everything about Mrs. Obana, Paragon, as well as the other students decision to save James.

 

[Shalimar]

Clover looks at the UN troops and nods in compliance. This was about what she had been expecting, Paragon's team had a head start and was more experienced. Honestly she thought the teens were being extremely stupid in trying to get James before the UN could when they could infect themselves and the world with a virus capable of killing all the base lines on the planet. "Thank God." she mutters standing very still.

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan smiles, holding up his hands nonchalantly. Only fifteen? For all of us? What an egregious insult. I wouldn't have sent fifteen to go after me, much less all of us. Of course, there might be more cloaked somewhere...

"This fight is pointless, and we can render it even more so if we can just find James," he says softly, hoping Clover will be able to hear over the noise of the conflict. "Where exactly is James in there?"

Of course, this all depends on Little Miss UN Military being on our side. I really should have thought of that beforehand. Damn it all. We might have an actual fight on our hands if she turns. Ryan hopes to catch Anika's eye as he cocks his head slightly to the side.

 

[Samnell]

Mark ignored the UN's orders to stop and began his search, counting on speed to protect him.

If they're going to shoot me, let them shoot me. I threw my stupid life away for this anyway.

 

[Shalimar]

Clover has been maintaining her lock on James, so she'd know when his distance increases dramatically. She will take another turn to attempt to find him again.

 

[Agamon]

"There's more than meets the eye here, people," Anika yells out as she flies into the compound. "I count 2 cloaked tanks and another squad of troops trying to outflank us. The aerodynes are still in the air, too."

She lands next to Ryan and Clover, glaring at the girl when she notes her quick acquiescence. "Are you kidding? Was this your plan all along?" she asks her, now regretting letting her come along. "Just tell us where he is, Mark will find him in a few seconds anyway. We don't want to turn this into a fight."
