(Setting) The Sidewinder Motel

| >Grim.

>There aren't enough words to totally describe what's occurring here, but I will try anyway.

>All the roads a mile out have been collapsed by the city's anti-earthquake system by some unknown power. Mortars drop every so often onto the motel- they appear to be targeting the helicopters, but instead they find themselves striking the building and grounds. Part of the motel has already collapsed.

>Heavily armored private military are assaulting the complex, something that is taking much longer than it should for a dinky motel. Whomever paid for them arrive left no room for error. There are everything here from attack helicopters to mechs to armored divisions.

>Mercifully, several of these said armored divisions have sunk into the ground.


| >A tall women observes the scene, dressed in combat gear
>Her black and white hair rustles in the wind, but her eyes are lifeless
"..."
>She sits down and begins assembling her rifle with a calm demeanor, as if no explosions were ravaging the area
"..."


| >A small group of five suddenly is present on a building adjacent to the motel, their eyes each glowing brightly
"So this is the place, you did well"
>Saint Douji says with a loud voice, her green eyes glowing menancingly
"It's smaller than I thought, oh well!"
>Saint Ibaraki, the smallest of the group said as she held her anti-material rifle, her red eyes glowing jokingly
"Keep the compliments coming Mother Douji! This Kiyohime will receive all of it!"
>Said the third member


| >>553437
"Keep it down you all, and get ready"
>Said Legate wearing a huge powersuit covered by a tarp, his eyes showing a powerful blue hue
"Its as you said, this shall be our first operation in almost eight years, please be professional"
>Said the last person, a man with a large coat and two augmented arms, his eyes covered by some kind of techie visor

>The AUCR saints have arrived


| >>553437 >>553430

>You both watch as a mortar shell hits the motel directly, collapsing most of the building. Despite this, the soldiers present continue to pour in-

>Some however have noticed your presence! You see them alerting others!


| >The women simply finishes assembling her rifle... takes aim at one of the nearby helicopter's cockpit and...
"Die."
>Fires a single shot of the large anti-material sniper


| >>553443

>The helicopter immediately spins out of control and crashes away from the motel, its blades still turning and ripping apart both human and earth until it slows.

>Meanwhile, you all watch as one of the mechs present, and then a tank, and then someone in a suit of powered armor all start to attack each other and their fellows. They stop after a few seconds, but by then some of the soldiers have turned to attack the errant vehicles, sowing discord among their ranks!


| >The girl stands up and leaves her rifle behind, opting to now sneak closer to all of the soldiers...


| >As the soldier notices them, the tarp covering Legates suit is taken off by the last member of the squad
"Thank you Shuten, now to start this off"
>The tarp was used to hide something on his back, anyone who served an army would recognize it, it was an AA battery, ready to open fire
"As they say in my home town, mourrez"
>The battery opens fire on the helicopters as he speaks, roaring with rage and fury
>As it does, Douji and Kiyohime take up their weapons


| >>553451

>Two of the helicopters are shot to pieces and fall toward the ground- another spies your presence and turns to fire!


| >>553454
"Woah there!"
>The AA stops its fire and Legate grabs Shuten by the waist, before activating a sudden rocket boost from his back
"Douji, find the targets! Ibaraki cover Douji, Kiyohime get on with that creepy shit of yours and Shuten keep me company!"
>Legate says into comms
"Let me down first!!"
>Comes the scream of the boy in question
"No way!"
>The squad disperses


| >>553466

>And not a moment too soon- the AA gun is burned to cinders by the helicopter's HEAT rockets...

>It attempts to track your movements and opens up with its MG!


| "That was expensive you dumb fuck!"
>Legate screams out as he spins around and opens fire with a shoulder mounted LMG
"Evade at that angle again after the first few shots and try to aim for their belly"
>Shuten says, now riding in his arms, his visor glowing
"AYE AYE"


| >>553480

>The bullets ricochet off the armor plating of the vehicle- a few meet their mark and penetrate the armored glass cockpit! Despite this, the helicopter continues to follow your movements, but has become somewhat sluggish!


| >>553483
"And now the finisher then!"
>Legate switches to his other arm and launches a small charge from it, straight unto the helicopter, it seems to stick to it and to expand into a cocoon like formation
"Bye bye!"
>The device proceeds to explode, pushing all the force into the helicopter's cockpit!

"We only have two of those, dont waste them you big idiot!"
>The cries of Shuten were ignored


| >>553484
>The helicopter collapses to the ground in a pile of smoldering endo steel, sinking into the cracks in the ground.


| >Legate turns to face the mechs as his boost rapidly dies down
"Seems we got a god on our side, oh artillery you are our guiding light!"
>He laughs as the boy he holds seems to be analyzing the mechs
"What the hell is happening, a virus?"

>As this is as happening, Douji and Ibaraki are making way towards the motel, trying to locate the VIPs that could be within and help them extract
"Lets hope we can find them first, I have a bad feeling"
>Says the green eyed saint


| >The women is still sneaking past the soldiers, now focused on making her way inside the crumbling motel


| >After the helicopters had crashed a flying drone approached airspace. Its equiped with a modified Kriss Vektor. After a few seconds, it opens fire on the soldiers on tje ground.
>From a distance, another drone is giving support. A Jagdhund drone equipped with a sniper rifle sits atop a rooftop.


| >>553504 >>553506 >>553695

>The friendly drones manage to give you cover fire as you approach the motel proper, distracting or killing off any soldiers that had somehow survived the direct hit of the mortar rounds.

>As you head inside, you see fresh troopers making their way down the stairs from the upper floors, stepping over the ruined foundation to your right. Just ahead of you, you hear something that sounds like barking!


| >>553762
>The women hides and preps a small canister... carefully adjusting the valve on it


| >>553762
>Douji makes a signal and Ibaraki nods, they head towards the barking, Douji watching the back while Ibaraki takes point with her pistol


| >>553763 >>553764

>You head toward the sound of the barking and woofing... and come across a squad of the PMC's, who don't notice your approach!

>They seem to be chattering among each other...

"...put that away Echo-3. They need to be brought in alive."

"What about mostly? These things are supposed to be like, living weapons, right?"

"They're prototypes. We don't even know if the rounds will affect them. Save that shit for the 'white walkers.'"

"Pfft, there won't be any white walkers left after today, Nine. Now let's find where that barkin's coming from and-"



| >>553766
>Douji nods and prepares her own pistol, they each aim at a soldier and count to three
>Silenced fire errupts after three seconds


| >>553775

>Two, then three, of the soldiers are downed immediately as you target weakpoints in their armor. The fourth dives behind a kitchen counter and returns fire!

>The barking noise turns into a whine!


| >>553778
>Douji hides and returns fire as Ibaraki makes use of her small frame to approach the firing soldier, aiming to jump the counter herself


| >>553785

>Soon enough, there's a lull in the exchange as the soldier moves to rearm himself...

>The whining stops.


| >>553788
>Ibaraki jumps the counter and slams into the soldier, there's a lot of strenght in that small frame of hers
"Take your medicine boy!"


| >>553790

>You take the soldier to the ground and presumably start to maul the shit out of him as he struggles to get up from the floor. The ground trembles beneath you as you have your way with the soldier...


| >>553791
"Ibaraki, thats enough"
>Douji says as she approaches, her gun still at the ready
"You're will be done Mother Douji"
>Ibaraki gets up and starts looking around for the source of the whining, using a small flashlight
"Hmmmm..."


| >>553793

>The ground suddenly rips apart as two large metal hands grab the soldier underneath you.

>Unluckily for him, he was still very much alive when you stopped beating the drek out of him- meaning he was conscious enough to feel his legs separated from the rest of his body.

>The arms throw the corpse violently at the nearest wall and grab the floor, pulling itself up!

(ANGRY DOGGO NOISES)


| >>553805
"Quaint"
>Ibaraki says as she backs away from the hands, breathing deeply
"Mother Douji, be careful!"
>Douji simply looks and aims her pistol at the metal *Things* that came out of the floor, shining a light unto it


| >>553806

>What arrives is... uh... actually simply calling it a "robot" would be both a disservice and an insult to robots everywhere. The sheer amount of steel armor, haphazardly layered over its chassis, makes it look more like a chrome plated gorilla than anything else. Its "head" is a cannibalized recon drone with several additional cameras welded on, along with some PEQ's and flashlights, which shine over the area ominously.

>The cre-er, robo-er- dog-gorilla thing? Scans the dead soldiers before turning to both of you.


| >The women makes her way towards the commotion, and seeing the lack of soldiers, steps out from her cover
"CN... sent."
>She addresses the robot, ignoring the other two


| >>553809
"Nice cat"
>Ibaraki jokes, while nervously aiming her weapon down at the floor, whatever that was... She didnt want to anger it
>Douji did so as well and simply bowed
"I dont know if you understand me, but I'm a friend of CN, I came to help"


| >>553810 >>553811

>The robot twists its drone-face at the group of you curiosly...

"...Bark!" >It says, as bullets suddenly bounce off its armored exterior!

>Additional enemies have arrived behind you!


| >>553812
>Douji grabs Ibaraki and shoves her down, hiding behind the counter as she returns several shots
"Damnit, That was fast-- Oi whoever you are girly, be careful!"
>She screams at the other girl


| >>553812
>The girl calmly uses the 'dog' as cover and tosses her canister towards the enemies... which detonates into a burst of red hot shrapnel
"... Annoying."


| >>553816

>A shotgun slug rips through the debris and clips your shoulder in response- it over-penetrates and sinks into the robot's armored leg!

"We agree-"

>You see a pair of suits enter the room, one carrying a large assault shotgun, the other with a pair of dual SMGS. For ease of description, we'll say that both "agents" strongly resemble the special forces of a certain organization that worked for a certain power company in a certain RPG that was popular in the early twenty first century- Ms. Shotgun has short purple hair styled into a pageboy, while Ms. Rambo has navy blue hair.

"...annoying bugs like Y'ALL should stay outta our BUSINESS!" >She unloads into the room with both SMG's blasting at full auto!


| >Atmos dives in front of both of the newfound enemies- even as the slug rounds bite into his armored carapace.


| >>553819
>The girl doesn't even look at her hurt shoulder and simply jumps back behind cover
"..."
>She simply thinks for a second before taking a run towards the nearest exit that leads further in
"Leaving... it... to you."


| >>553819
"Legate, engaging two boogeys down here, send in Kiyohi"
>Douji says as she lobs a flashbang over the counter, Ibaraki closes her eyes and smiles


| >>553821
"Roger that"
>Douji says to the girl while the flashbang detonates!


| >The flashbang ignites- as the sound dissipates, you hear the purple chick speaking on a comm-

"-ithdraw, targets attempting to escape through back entrance- leave the interlopers."

"Understood, withdrawing-"

"LIKE HELL WE'RE LEAVING NOW! LET'S KILL THESE BITCHES WHILE WE'RE HERE!


| >Overhead, a massive form blots the sky- a military space-borne dropship of unknown configuration hovers overhead...


| >>553826
"You don't bastard!"
>Ibaraki shoots up firing a large Makeshift SMG at the opponents, pelleting 50 cal. Into everything that gets hit by the deluge, the gun rapidly overheats though and the small Saint throws it as it does after the rounds are exhausted

>Outside Legate looks up at the sky and shows a worried smile
"Thats gotta be the shoddiest fucking ship I ever saw in my life"
>Shuten simply nods along


| >Outside, the battle has become a melee as several different forces engage at once. One of the mechs stops firing in mid attack, and you watch as the cockpit opens and a lone white clad figure pulls the hapless man from his post and lobs him off the vehicle, followed by a Wilhelm scream. Whomever they are, they jump right back into the mech and start terrorizing the troops on the ground.

>Two figures drop from the ship and it hovers above ground, just high enough to avoid striking any remaining buildings or trees, before circling the area. Cannons and machine guns reveal themselves from hidden compartments and begin to rain down fire on the ground like an AC-130 gunship.

>While one of the figures vanishes, the other becomes dark and the best that you can see are men and women screaming as something black engulfs them one at a time.

>Several children -or are they animals- and a few adults appear from the ground and attack the soldiers nearest to them, the cries of howls and angry snarling mixing with the cacophony. A small group of noncombatants huddles in the ground as a woman crouches near them, taking pot shots at anyone who gets too close. Another women rips the dagger out of a soldier's load bearing vest and slashes his throat with it, before appearing to fade away.


| "The closing act has started! Keep supressing and make sure that ships stays safe"
>Legate booms into comms, as he fires his shoulder mounted gun for what appears to be the millionth time
"Roger that, But can you please let me down now..."
>Shuten says, downtrodden as the powersuited Palladin simply shakes his head
"Nope"


| >The women has vanished, tracking the VIP's path until she finds their escape path


| >In the surrounding area. Various private security outfits are alerted to evacuate non-combatants from the area. Silver paneled armored-vans marked "Estorian Security Service" roar into the chaos to aid in the evacuation. Prioritizing the employees of the surrounding businesses and the people who live there.
