Thread: The Ruin of Mankind

Halbred kept his eyes narrowed upon the back of the female as he gripped unto the wood paneling of the rifle. His frail finger brushed over the polished metal of the curved trigger to the rifle in anticipation of possibly having to use it against Red's wishes. Red needed this woman alive for reasons he'd possibly describe later... but for now, the obvious reasons did not need to be stated. The barrel's compensator remained trained upon the busty bounty hunter Halbred's footsteps could be heard by the rattle of the bandoleer crossing before his chest. There was a lack of soul in the goon's eyes, and if Cali was able to peer into them, she'd see a man lost without mere cause. Halbred was here and living in the moment, but beyond that, there was no scope. He'd remain mostly silent when Red stepped unto the road and took over the situation. Red would playfully wink toward her from under the lenses of his aviators when she spoke of his kindness with a deep sarcasm eating at her words. However, after he said his peace, the muscular brute was more focused on making sure she disarmed than conversation about how their was going, or what was for lunch. The first weapon, her M4, would be observed as she pulled the ratty strap from around her head. Even as she threw it upon the floor, the leader of two would remain motionless. Only the tail end of his duster would whip about with the gusts of dry wind behind him during the disarmament. However, it was then that Cali decided to make her move. The subtle pull of the pin connected to the trigger of the flashbang would go noticed by the alerted Halbred behind her. Despite noticing an unusual motion of her hand when she began to pull the belt from around her waistline, the wrinkly goon didn't notice it happened to be a fucking flashbang! Instead, he took a step forwards from behind and jerked his AKM in her direction while barking out saliva would spout from his lips from his sense of urgency, Hey! What was th Red noticed the sudden fling of the pin's connector flying out into the air and coming to bounce across the floor audibly before the belt made it to his feet. Being that Red had once been apart of the U.S. Navy SEALs before the Great War broke out, he knew exactly what this meant. There was no time to react but turn his shoulder to shield himself as he shouted, Motherfucker ! The sound and flash would disorient all of them despite the fact that Red happened to turn his shoulder to the bulk of the blast. Tinnitus began to take hold of Red's own hearing in a sharp ringing that wasn't about to fade anytime soon. He'd stumble away from the belt and discarded M4 as Cali turned and fired two blasts from her very inaccurate sawn-off shotgun. Halbred would be ran past by her as she fired said shots as he dropped his rifle and clasped his hands upon both ears. The scrawny male would fall unto his knees screaming after never experiencing such a sensation before. Halbred's bald forehead smacked the pavement before falling over in a fetal position... his AKM would be laid out across the pavement. Red would growl angrily under his breath and begin to march toward Halbred as the outer wall of the house behind him began to actually collapse after Cali's two slugs damaged it's structure. Every inch of Bloodridge was on the verge of destruction. Grabbing Halbred by the arm, Red would begin to forcefully lift him to his feet, SHUT UP! YOU FUCKING INBRED PIECE OF SHIT! ON YOUR FEET. Halbred would stumble some upon getting his footing, as Red handed him his AK-105 and pulled the sword from his back, too. Both items would be shoved into Halbred's chest it was obvious Red was fed up with incompetence. Get the others, and surround the fence. Now! You hear me!? Halbred would narrow his gaze, and Red would yell again, Get the others, and surround the damn walls. She doesn't get out. No one fucking shoots her, either. I am going to go get her... ALIVE! Keep my shit safe. Halbred nodded, picked up his own AKM from the floor, and began to usher himself and the arsenal towards the gate where her bike was parked unbeknownst to them. Halbred could be heard shouting at the army that was approaching the gate, giving them orders Red issued. Meanwhile, Red would chase after the female now... moving in direction of where he saw her vanish off to last. It was when she placed her back to the wall of one of the houses as she ran between them, that she'd notice a mass grave in one of the back yards. Bodies upon bodies were piled up or half burnt, with more laying in the grass nearby. Most of them were naked and covered in tattoo's, or items of junky armor akin to that of the raider culture. A moment later, with her back to the wall, she'd find a loud boom from behind her. Red came crashing right through the weakened wall of the house behind her, which was no better than some pathetic shack. The wall fragmented into pieces as the muscular male tried his best to wrap his massive arms around the female in order to tackle her down to the floor with his heavy weight... and he had plans to pin her down and begin to unleash punch, after punch, with his hand while trying to control the shotgun she had.
