(RP) War of the Worlds Chapter 1 Part 2

"Why are you guys so troubled? We don't know these people's names, faces, appearances, personalities, or anything else. Therefore, they must not actually be alive! They're just moving, fighting training dummies." I smile after explaining the situation.

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

"Ok that just makes no sense whatsoever, i don't know what you've been taught but that's not normal human thought processes."

 

[Jackythejack]

"And what the **** is wrong with you?" Stephany asked with a frown. "I'm sorry but I don't like that though process in a teammate. Look, keep actual killing to a minimum, how about, huh? I don't want to live with...that..."

that just sounded terrifying

 

[Torlikoff]

"Are we sure we want someone this above average level of crazy here?"

 

[Blahblah9755]

"Huh?" I look at them both, confused. "I just told you, it's not killing. I would only try to kill someone if they were threatening me, so… so it can't be killing."

 

[Overlord775]

"Guys, we are saving entire universes, we have the right to kill anyone who dares oppose us. If you have some problems with this, leave, we don't need dead weight"

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

"Hey Jack, have you ever heard of the slippery slope? Because you just described it's most common form."

 

[Torlikoff]

"All I want to say is that killing people for the sake of murder is a little weird."

 

[Jackythejack]

"I don't think motive changes morals, Rothead," Stephany commented. "Seriously that sounds like a dark path."

[i just remembered you two aren't in my team oops]

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

[we have comms, but i don't remember if they link to each other or just the commander EDIT: nvm]

 

[Yobo_Blue]

"I don't think motive changes morals, Rothead," Stephany commented. "Seriously that sounds like a dark path."

[i just remembered you two aren't in my team oops]

[The two teams haven't split quite yet.]

 

[Yobo_Blue]

[we have comms, but i don't remember if they link to each other or just the commander]

[They do link, tho you guys aren't that far away yet.]

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

[i like to imagine that we're all just double broadcasting due to being so close]

 

[Torlikoff]

[I like that instead of doing the mission we're just having a philisophical debate.]

 

[Standuser081]

"I don't think motive changes morals, Rothead," Stephany commented. "Seriously that sounds like a dark path."

"Our universes are about to be destroyed. This is no time to think about morals."

 

[Overlord775]

"I don't think motive changes morals, Rothead," Stephany commented. "Seriously that sounds like a dark path."
[i just remembered you two aren't in my team oops]

"Are you dense or something? The multiverse is dying, morals will only slow us down, and those guys are actively tring to fasten the process, we must destroy them.

The end justifies the means"

 

[Jackythejack]

"That's how every violent uprising in history started, I'm sure," Stephany muttered. "I don't see why we can't put the little bit of extra work in to not kill them."

 

[Torlikoff]

"We can kill them, but just do what's easiest. That's what I'm thinking. And if 'easiest' is murder, then so be it."

 

[Standuser081]

"You know, that goody-two-shoes personality of yours is what's probably gonna get us all killed."

 

[Jackythejack]

"But just the thought of its givin' me butterflies," Stephany stated. "Look I don't know about where you come from, but where I come from it's not that easy to just switch off your moral compass. I mean a fair chunk of us are teens I think..."

 

[Overlord775]

"We can kill them, but just do what's easiest. That's what I'm thinking. And if 'easiest' is murder, then so be it."

"Good point too."

I say to the man.

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

"That's how every violent uprising in history started, I'm sure," Stephany muttered. "I don't see why we can't put the little bit of extra work in to not kill them."

"You're not wrong, but if you want to go out of your way to not kill people, thats your choice. My only ability is a giant gun, so i can't exactly use it and expect to not at least deal serious damage."

 

[Blahblah9755]

Meanwhile, Blaire is sitting on the ground hugging her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth with her head down. She quietly mutters to herself "They weren't alive, they weren't alive, they weren't alive, they didn't die, they weren't alive, they didn't die, they didn't die, they didn't die, there was nothing to die, they were just "it"s, there was nothing to die…"

A massive bolt of lightning strikes down at the back entrance, away from where the entire group is. The entire group of enemies is vaporized. More lightning begins striking around that area making loud noise, but Blaire doesn't notice as she continues rocking back and forth.

 

[Jackythejack]

[uh...what?]

 

[Yobo_Blue]

[Well, it is a 6-C ability]

 

[Overlord775]

"Good job Blaire, you just got to they point and solved the problem"

I say to her with a cheering tone.

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

I'm trying to think of something to say. I've never really had to deal with having a mental breakdown or someone else having one, much less someone with lighting powers having one.

 

[Jackythejack]

[but there were enemies there? What?]

"Wait what I-!?" Stephany seemed to have eyes wide as she looked around. "Is everyone just bloody okay with that!?!" She shouted.

 

[Blahblah9755]

Realizing someone is talking to her, Blaire finally looks up, when she sees the enemies in the back are gone, she says "did they leave?" Looking at Stephanie with teary eyes.

 

[Standuser081]

[but there were enemies there? What?]

"Wait what I-!?" Stephany seemed to have eyes wide as she looked around. "Is everyone just bloody okay with that!?!" She shouted.

"Of course we are. We didn't get killed so we're happy."

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

[by the back of the building Jacky]

"I'm don't know, but we sure as hell couldn't have stopped it!" i say to Stephany, still trying to thikn of something to say to Blaire

 

[Jackythejack]

"I don't know, do you consider obliteration leaving?" Stephany asked with an exasperated tone. "And don't give me those teary eyes on me! I still remember you zapping us like a ******* maniac!"

 

[Overlord775]

Realizing someone is talking to her, Blaire finally looks up, when she sees the enemies in the back are gone, she says "did they leave?" Looking at Stephanie with teary eyes.

"They have gone eat dinner"

I lie to her, it's better this way.

 

[Torlikoff]

I try not to laugh at the excuse.

 

[Standuser081]

I chuckle at the excuse.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

As the group continues to bicker, a group of armed men, about 15 or so, come running out of the building. Noticing Team 2, they begin firing.

The guards in the front see the lightning, and rip in towards the back, leaving the front entrance clear

 

[Blahblah9755]

Seeing that the ones in the front left, I think Ah, they really are leaving.

[Edit: Or maybe I don't do that…]

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Seeing that the ones in the front left, I think Ah, they really are leaving.

[Theyre heading towards group 2]

 

[Jackythejack]

"Aw, shit!" Stephany shouted before randomly firing towards the men and running away to some sort of cover. "Shit shit shit run! Or, uh, shoot! Something!"

 

[Blahblah9755]

[I thought the two groups were still together, arguing while observing from a distance. The lightning strikes shouldn't have been super close to us either.]
