Location: Brisked Bear

It was snowfall again, with green snowflakes radiating the surrounding area. Amidst the fallen debris and wreckage, there were small shacks built by the remaining survivors before they too were taken by "them". Lots upon lots of these creatures are seen, but they all have dispersed and gone out into multiple islands to continue their ever-so-inscrutable goals.

"Hooo... Welp, guess I gotta look for somethin' to eat.." a boy said, his eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness as he woke up from his "bed", made from what seemed to be a pile of concrete bags. He looks down and wears his sandals, putting one foot at a time. Standing up, he walks over to a broken and rusty drawer infested by wood-boring beetles, where opening it reveals a stained grey shirt and a black hoodie, covering what seems to be a bouquet of white flowers and a black bullpup stock.

...

Turning on the flashlight as it makes a clicking sound, the boy trekked the wrecked buildings, still yawning as he looks on.

"Ahh... there's nothin' there, also that.... and that too..." he said, sighing as he continued.

There were so many guts and blood thrown around the city, though it never bothered him given he's used to seeing them on live television ever since the very first invasion. Though he is still disgusted by them given he's looking for food and not some edgy painting made by a serial killer- other rather... serial killers...

"The pizza was good, wish I could find 'nother jackpot like tha-"

A noise broke out of his out-loud monologue, he pulls out a modified P90 from his hip, puts the dial on full-auto, and start to **** the charging handle before letting go, the sound of metal echoing as he approaches the noise. He places his cheek on the stock, his grip unwavering as he trained his sights on whoever's going on to be on the other end of the barrel.

"Ah, shit... Here we go again..."

 

[Backbackback]

The little girl looked at the monster with what seemed like either fear or excitement, the group couldn't tell. She ran off at the sight of them as the frogs she carried leapt away, croaking and adding new ambiance to the sewer scene

Nutzlos notices the girl, deciding to follow her from underneath the sewers.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Noah looked at the others as a sign if they really should go for her or not.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Nutzlos notices the girl, deciding to follow her from underneath the sewers.

The girl disappeared into the darkness, all sounds growing quieter with distance

Rizzuto looked at the little girl running off in confusion before chasing after Nutzlos.

 

[Backbackback]

The girl disappeared into the darkness, all sounds growing quieter with distance

"Is this one of their Illusions too?"

Nutzlos asked himself, still fused underground as he kept going.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Rizzuto looked at the little girl running off in confusion before chasing after Nutzlos.

As he ran off in the dark, a sharp pain was felt in his calf which quickly extended upward, stopping him in his tracks

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Noah run to where the others.

"I guess always playing dirty is something of all Waterboarders" She Said as she approached Rizzuto

 

[Setsuna_tenma]

"Is this one of their Illusions too?"

Nutzlos asked himself, still fused underground as he kept going.

"Can't trust our senses. I wonder if the surveillance drone would work." he said to himself

 

[Peppersalt43]

"Can't trust our senses. I wonder if the surveillance drone would work." he said.

(First of all, nobody can hear what each other is saying. Two, Nutzlos is underground when this is happening)

Noah run to where the others.

"I guess always playing dirty is something of all Waterboarders" She Said as she approached Rizzuto

As she did, she could see a glimpse of a bloody switchblade gleaming in the dark before disappearing back into it

 

[thelegend27]

As she did, she could see a glimpse of a bloody switchblade gleaming in the dark before disappearing back into it

Rizzuto upon seeing the switchblade and feeling the sharp pain in his calf quickly backed away out of the darkness.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

As she did, she could see a glimpse of a bloody switchblade gleaming in the dark before disappearing back into it

Noah noticed this and her hatred for illusory games began to grow, she looked more carefully, maybe she can't trust her sight or hearing, but the touch of the air in her body, she concentrated to feel the air flow better, although that's not reveal to the Waterboarders, it would let her know where an attack is coming from

Before anything useful could be gleamed upon, a loud click was heard in the distance, followed by a rumbling that grew closer and closer

A glance back revealed a torrent of sewer water flowing through the place and directly at the group, sweeping them away as it is all flooded

 

[Backbackback]

As she did, she could see a glimpse of a bloody switchblade gleaming in the dark before disappearing back into it

Nutzlos continued following them.

Before anything useful could be gleamed upon, a loud click was heard in the distance, followed by a rumbling that grew closer and closer

A glance back revealed a torrent of sewer water flowing through the place and directly at the group, sweeping them away as it is all flooded tightly

"Tch! I knew it... They did have this planned from the start..." he thought, trying to surmise anything he could possibly do in this situation.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Nutzlos continued following them.

Yet once again the girl disappeared back into the dark, seemingly evading the flood or possibly getting swept away alongside everyone else

Noah sighed, she walked in front of everyone while simply using her superior lifting strength to rip up chunks of the ground at high speed and block the flow of the water, the stones would hold for a couple of minutes.

 

[Backbackback]

Yet once again the girl disappeared back into the dark, seemingly evading the flood or possibly getting swept away alongside everyone else

Given he's fused to solid ground, the flood wasn't pouring "through" it.

 

[Peppersalt43]

Dene, on the other hand, tries his best to seal it up by making multiple crystals to block it off.

(Isn't it established that their powers don't exactly work?)

Oddly enough despite seemingly utilizing their powers, nothing is manifesting. No oil is coming out, no ice is forming. Just monsters getting shot down by the police

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(Well I guess it's a good thing Noah's there)

 

[Peppersalt43]

The unlucky few were swept away past Noah's cover, the flood of sewage lasting for a few long minutes until it slowly receded away

A few minutes ago

Darren walked silently through the sewers, avoiding any contact with the police who were a lot closer due to his entry proximity. Walking through, he encountered a sight in front of him which disgusted him greatly. A worker laid there by the wall, his flesh flayed off and his body cut in half, flies buzzing about. Conveniently, the worker's keycard was still there which Darren took.

"Damned monsters" he cursed, continuing to walk until he eventually found the control room. Looking through a map, he was able to make an approximation of where the group was heading, his hand reaching for a lever.

"Gotta split them up, there's no way I can take them all at once" he thought. With the deed done, he waited for a few minutes before exiting the room, ready to hunt the monsters down again

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Noah backed away and she signaled for them to follow her since they had to surround the area.

 

[Setsuna_tenma]

"What the hell happened?" he said waking up.

 

[Backbackback]

Noah backed away and she signaled for them to follow her since they had to surround the area

Dene held onto Noah, creating crystal vines to cling on.

"Oh crappity crap! The hell do we do now?" he muttered, clenching his fist.

Nutzlos pulled his lamp as he shines the path in light, continuing to phase through the sewers as he heads further down the sewer.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Dene held onto Noah, creating crystal vines to cling on.

"Oh crappity crap! The hell do we do now?" he muttered, clenching his fist

Noah smiled at Dene, she clearly understood the meaning of his actions, so she approached her hand om him and as he had done so many times with her, she patted his on the head as a sign that everything will be fine.

Then she wrote on the ground

"These Waterboarders are basically creators of Terror and manipulation but even they need to be organized, likely there's a head in front, if we incap that leader, we can probably use it as a trap for the others" Noah wrote

Then she wrote on the ground

Dene knew it was Noah based on the action of patting his head, prompting him to smile in response.

"These Waterboarders are basically creators of Terror and manipulation but even they need to be organized, likely there's a head in front, if we incap that leader, we can probably use it as a trap for the others" Noah wrote

(How the heck does he know that Darren's responsible? Or who Darren even is? He's super far away from the whole team)

(actually tho, it doesn't make sense)

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Dene knew it was Noah based on the action of patting his head, prompting him to smile in response

Noah smiled back and give a small laugh, even though these Waterboarder tried to trick them by turning them into a fake Waterboarder, they probably didn't count on one of them (in a species sense) actively helping humans, Noah felt calm due being able to help her friends and keep Dene safe by using more her brain and the knowledge that she had acquired.

 

[LaserPrecision]

"Iiick, I got some the sewer water in my mouth.. Whoever's responsible for this gonna deeply regret it.." Caleb squeezed the water out of their hair and quickly took notice of Sofia thanks to their Contraband. Though still didnt have any idea on how to communicate with them, so just waved at them as a sign of peace.

"I'm gonna have to shower a lot to get this all off... Eh?" She took notice and didnt immediately attack, so it seems to have worked

 

[Lou_change]

"So, do you want to fight me using Chopper." Damian asks.

 

[thelegend27]

Rizzuto looked at them both pointing at his mouth and mocking a gagging motion before looking around for the others.

 

[Backbackback]

"So, do you want to fight me using Chopper." Damian asks.

"Why not?! I mean, we could go to the barracks where Sir Efrain is! He'll make sure that the fight would not escalate that far!" Eqowir gleefully replied.

 

[Lou_change]

"Cool!" Damian says jumping in excitement.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Rizzuto looked at them both pointing at his mouth and mocking a gagging motion before looking around for the others.

Noah noticed Rizzuto, and signaled to Dene for both of them go to help him.

 

[Backbackback]

Noah noticed Rizzuto, and signaled to Dene for both of them go to help him.

(Is this where I do the do @Peppersalt43?)

"Cool!" Damian says jumping in excitement.

As the two make their way into the Barracks, Efrain was seen training with Paige, the latter managing to block some of his electric arrows.

"You've been getting a lot faster now..." the old man said, nodding as he spun around his staff.

"It's essential to improve, especially at these times..." she replied.

"Oh, just in time..." Eqowir said.

"Eqowir and Damian, what brings you this morning?" Efrain asked.

"We're here to train too..."

"Good thing you guys just arrived at the perfect moment. We're already done with our sparring, you're free to take the floor..." Paige commented, walking over to her spot to sit down, taking a sip of her energy drink whilst Efrain slowly distanced himself.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(Is this where I do the do @Peppersalt43?)

( CONFUNSEDS NOISES)

 

[Backbackback]

( CONFUNSEDS NOISES)

(you're down horrendous bro)

 

[Lou_change]

"Eqowir do you know what a helicopter is?" Damian asks inquisitively.

 

[Backbackback]

"Eqowir do you know what a helicopter is?" Damian asks inquisitively.

"Yes!"

 

[Lou_change]

"How am I going to use use one inside a building?"

 

[Backbackback]

"How am I going to use use one inside a building?"

(Btw, this barracks is an open court)
"What do you mean?! We could just..."
Eqowir signals one of the operators, flipping the switch as the barracks roof opens up, revealing the morning sun.

 

[Lou_change]

(Back her range is only tens of meters.)
"I still don't know if it is the best idea to do this inside this base but I wanna do this." Damian says walking out to grab Chopper.

"I still don't know if it is the best idea to do this inside this base but I wanna do this." Damian says walking out to grab Chopper.

(Wdym by that?)
"It would be fine, Damian... I'm here..." Efrain said.
