Thread: First Contact (Atroxa & YoungRoyalty)

Camrun held his weapon with intensity, now that he was closer he could see what he was dealing with. That fire red hair, he had never seen anything like it before. Such a strange evolution for a creature perhaps it was for distraction. The irony would fall upon him soon enough. There was indeed a language barrier so he let the ten seconds slide for now. She seemed far younger then the others he had met however he could not say much he didn't know but he was more then likely close to her age if not a year or two older. Slowly he took another step forward he tried to vocalize the words. Sl...Slowly... It was difficult to get his vocal chords to curve the right way. Her voice was soft and though he did not quite understand her her tone told him a different tale. She was hiding something but it would be too late as his eyes fell upon the helmet with a beeping and signal sound of some kind. The whole squad became quite familiar though as Vernez suddenly saw the incoming bird. Incoming fighter! Get to cover South East. Vernez activated his amp and suddenly a shimmer of energy allowed him to go invisible. His new target now had to be the armor they were dealing with. The three ground units including Camrun now had to recover as each one put their jets to use. However instead of finding a single cover they moved constantly bursting from spot to spot. One of the soldier as he found new cover activated his amp. A sudden build of heat gathered on his right arm and he flung the bolt of fire at the armor in the air. The engineer Hulrus kept his cover for now as the action caused him to take a round in his shoulder. The bullet went through, a small blessing left his lips. Vernez would attempt to coordinate with Hulrus take a shot at one of the engines as the firebolt connected. For Hulrus and Vernez to make this shot it was easier said then done but that never stopped them before. Camrun being the closest had to take the brunt of the machine gun fire. His shield was soon compromised and to make matters worst his Phaeston rifle took hits making the weapon useless. He was forced to burst past Artemis and to her left quickly rolling over some of the plane debris. He was lucky enough not to get hit by the aircraft. One of Artemis bullets graze the side of his head though cutting into the exoskeleton and now the black face paint and blue of his blood began to mix. He began to seethe in anger but he remembered he had men to lead. This is Zulk Squad, lock onto my coordinates. Enemy aircraft has us pinned down, I repeat request assistance. As he spoke he pulled out a Carnifax Hand Cannon from his belt and began to fire the powerful rounds at Artemis trying to give himself some cover. Sergeant, all air craft tied in operations, we have to keep the skies clear. The comms came from the nearby headquarters. Give me some AA cover, we won't last long if more come for me. Camrun couldn't help but wonder, there was response to get her was so fast. The Alliance had ships to spare, it made the situation all the more desperate for him. Sergeant ETA on AA support will be five minutes. He knew they didn't have that time, he only had one chance. If he could subdue the human and use her as leverage he might be able to get that air support off them. Camrun made a gamble and his amp began to pulse there was no heat to come from his armor, infact a light frost seemed to build up on his arm. Once his shields returned he boosted over the cover several meters in the air and threw down a cold sphere at Artemis. The bolt of energy seem to go right for her. If it missed Camrun would still try to rush her.
