Thread: The Rise Before The Fall (Razgriz x Chai)

RE The Rise Before The Fall Razgriz x Ariamella J'arock knew he had no control once Ka'rista had decided to do something it was a trait common among the Heavenborn. But then, it was why they were so revered Born of the Radiant One's direct power, a tangible symbol of His presence. And for him, an Earthborn, her going off to handle the ones in the back suited him fine. He would take the largest group in the front, be the distraction that she needed of him. Their plan was sound, but even he knew they wouldn't have very long before the Nexus outpost leader would try and vanish. Probably try and take the cargo with him this time, however, they would leave nothing to rebuild. He would rip every last iron beam from the ground if it meant they could never use this location again. And by the time the fight started, the massive titan could hear the terrified yells. And with a beast-like bellow, he charged with calculated abandon to the front, the large number of guards momentarily caught off-balance by the sudden commotion. A fatal mistake that made two of them turn into nothing but slush as J'arock slammed his fists down on top of them, their bodies exploding spectacularly as the blood showered around him. The Earthborn, while lacking the grace and agility of their Heaven and Skyborn cousins, had overwhelming physical endurance and strength to claim. They were the pillars that held up their Lord's resting place, and even against this Nexus they would not falter. They would keep the world as He designed, ready for the day their God awoke from slumber. And the looks of severe shock on the faces of the many remaining showed that they were new many had questioning looks about trying to engage this behemoth. What, you girls scared? We got these guns for a reason, so fire damn it! another grunt shouted, the plethora of troops starting to rain hot lead on him, the bullets seeming to just catch on his flesh and fall, the pings of the dropping rounds creating a symphony of failed shots. Something that the grunts did not fail to notice. The fuck... He won't die! Shut up and keep shooting! And for a moment the giant of the Order just stood there, rounds hitting his body continuously as his golden hues, slits like beast eyes, staring up at them from beneath his hood. Maybe against a Shadowborn nursling your weapons would work....But the Earthborn are Blessed with His strength it is by His will that we are unbroken! Now witness His might and be shown His glory! J'arock then shouted, unfazed by the barrage as his powerful legs catapulted him straight up into the air, fists raised high before long his heavy form crashed back down, hands driving into the Earth. The sheer magnitude of force caused the earth to groan and shatter, a veritable cascade of broken stone flying in all directions, some of the Nexus grunts lucky enough to be crushed by the slabs of rocketing stone. The ones that remained were broken, bloodied, and fewer still had the strength to keep fighting. Within moments, however, the first battle was over, a poor Grunt caught in his grasp. With just a simple tightening of his fist, the neck snapped loudly as the soldier's body went limp to say it was a slaughter was an understatement of incomprehensible degrees. Corpses lay scattered, deformed and twisted fromt the Earthborn's assault. When Ka'rista returned, she would find J'arock unfazed but bloodied. Thankfully none of his own, and thankfully she seemed to be unharmed as well. Good work, Ka'rista. Let us move forward so that the coward has nowhere to hide. he then stated firmly, approaching the twin giant doors as sirens started to blare. Against most other means of opening, it would be impossible these slabs of purified metal could resist even armor-penetrating rounds from high-caliber launchers. However, an Earthborn's strength was beyond even that a loud grunt followed the enormous male shoving his hands into the panels, the metal screeching as it was wrenched out of its forged shaped. Loud cracks and visible arcs across his body showed that the doors were electrified as well, but even this had no effect on his resolve, even as his grip dug further into the doors. Gritting his teeth a little out of rage, he then pulled an ear-shattering shearing noise reverberated throughout the forest as he forced the doors off their tracks, now carrying twin pieces of deformed metal like giant shields. Just then, turrets seemed to pop from the ceiling on the long main entrance hallway, their barrels locking onto the titan before them. Six in all, three on each side. Cursed heathens their presence is a plague deserving only complete eradication. J'arock growled before the guns could even start their bombardment, he just seemed to 'flick' the giant iron slabs at the stationary guns. The huge chunks slid rapidly along the ceiling, sparks trailing as the turrets were severed from their platforms and crashed to the ground, before long the slabs slamming loudly at the other end of the hall, leaving twin dents on the wall. And like clockwork, more Grunts appeared with weapons ready from side passages J'arock could easily see that these ones had weapons that might actually do some damage, so his hands slammed down and simply tore a piece of the floor in front of him. He wasn't so much worried about himself, more that a stray round might hit his Heavenborn partner, fast as she was. And just as he predicted, the guns began barking at him, spitting their ammunition in high amounts and the heavy rounds bouncing off his makeshift shield. Because of his size and what he was holding, he had intentionally hidden Ka'rista from view to allow her to flank from the side while he rushed forward, footsteps thundering down the hallway as he swiped his left first, crushing one Grunt with the weighted slab and turning his body into nothing more than a puddle on the wall, organs ruptured and blood slicking the once-pristine surface. In a control room down below - with another one atop to act as a distraction in case things went pear-shaped - the Lieutenant in question was already having his underlings get the essentials out, stern expression looking out through the window Their finished products of the genetic engineering experiments were being loaded in their pods into trucks, with prisoners - mostly trainers, but even a police officer was among them having been requested by a special client - funneled into another. A third held pallets upon pallets of stolen Pokeballs that one was almost ready to go, and truthfully it was the most profitable one they'd ever had here. Thankfully, the base was riddled with a number of secure stairways that led to the wrong areas, so the chances of their escape route being discovered was smaller. Atop that, the exits for the trucks had been branched as well, so that there would be more than one way out. Let's go, people! It won't take them long, you know, and if they find us here, we're all fucked! So move your asses and - hey you! Johnson! Stop that bitch from crying! the officer shouted over the intercom, blue eyes peering from beneath the bill of his cap at a young women probably no older than fifteen as she broke down into tears. She had just started her journey as a Trainer, only to be taken hostage and when her parents couldn't deliver the ransom she was taken into slavery to be sold to an unknown customer. One that preferred his girls young and lively, which she seemed to be entirely. Please don't! I'll be raped! I'll be killed! Oh Arceus, please just let me go! she wailed, her nude svelte body shaking and her once shining chocolate locks mussed and dirtied as she was dragged along, her feeble resistance starting to hold things up as she pulled back from where the rest were being loaded into. The Lieutenant's jaw tightened Arceus, Arceus, that's all he heard. Especially from these damned fanatics that always fucked up their operations. Say that name one more time, bitch, and I'll let a hybrid blow off some steam with you! he then shouted, the young woman freezing almost instantly in shock a barrel in her back forced her to keep moving however. Meanwhile, he could hear the thuds and screams on the floors above this was taking too long, and honestly would it surprise any of the Board that this base was lost? This whole region had these zealots crawling all over they couldn't make a profit here, that much was certain.
