DMC Kill Team IC

[Storyboy]

A woman screamed as a man ran a blade down her arm as she was tied to a chair. "PLEEEAAASSEEE! Stop, please!" The man dressed as a doctor snickered and ran the blade over his hand. "Sacrifices must be made. It is not up to me, it is up to our lords." With that he ran the blade slowly across her neck where a small trickle of crimson ran down. Then he lifted his hand back and his muscles tensed. "You will be my salvation."

Then the rotted door fell off its hinges and a burst of light came into the room. Through the light came a group of shadows. One stood out amongst the rest with a assault rifle and put a round in the chamber. "How about this for salvation." And before the crazed doctor could bring the blade down a high powered round tore through his skull and his blood splattered on the girl in the chair. the man's knees buckled and he fell to the ground, his blade slid across the dirt covered concrete floor. Moments later the man with the rifle had placed it on his back and cut the girl free from her bonds pouring some of his water from his cantine to wash off the blood. "Sorry about that mam, didn't have time to waste on predicting the exit wound. I hope you understand." With a simple nod the woman stood up and fell to her knees weak and unbalanced. "Toroki take care of her wounds. Bruce after he's done offer her a shoulder to carry her out. We need to get her treatment back at base."

Iris cut on a flashlight that was attached to his shoulder. He looked around the room inspecting it. "Seems to be clear, we're going to move out as soon as the girl is patched up. That psycho could have attracted feral demons." Demon activity had went down the last few days after Dante chased the fire demon out of the city boundaries but they were still around. Most of them were feral which meant they had no leadership and tended to be easier to kill but they were still deadly if you didn't keep your guard up. "Man some people just don't know how to handle an apocalypse." He said looking at the body of the crazed man. "Somebody burn this, we can't leave food for the demons." Then he walked over to one of his squad mates. "Hey Elliot, you got anything? See anything coming our way?" Elliot was the team's medium. That meant he could see more than what the rest of them could and nt because he had better eyes, well maybe they were but it was more so due to his ability to see into Limbo. Though the human world had meshed with the world of Limbo it still seemed that there was more than what the naked eye could see.

A door flew unhinged and a loud gun shot was heard with the sounds of bursting blood to follow. Iris made the shot and cleared the room, a few fellow squad mates following before Elliot made his presence. He looked around, pistol drawn and immediately looked for any signs of Demon activity. Iris walked over to him to ask if he could see anything, in response he held up a single finger and looked around, asking for silence and clear vision wherever he was looking. He started looking up around the room, seeing formations that Limbo had changed on the real world, along with a blurred flash of black.

He quickly turned around trying to follow it, then more started to show up, at first it was a small number, something they could easily deal with. "I can see the presence of something fast, just outside the walls and above the ceiling, not sure what it is exactly, oh shit, wait." He holstered his pistol and reached behind his back, more of the black blurs started to show up, a lot more, moving quickly and in mass numbers. "Rage spawns, we've got Rage spawns, that fucker was housing these things, there's food, carcasses everywhere, hell there's shit right on top of us," he pulled out his automatic crossbow and slowed to the corner of the room.

A women’s scream was audible past the aged, wooden door the squad was facing. This was not Akira’s first experience in the field, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t nervous. Akira could feel the dampness of his hands, wet from the sweat brought out from him expanding and retracting his fingers, a bad habit of his. Akira brought out his small handgun, once owned by his brother which he later modified to be more useful in combat, and after making sure it was in the correct ‘bullet’ setting, he brought it up to his face, ready to fire at whatever nasty would be behind the wood.

Time to find out what’s behind door number one. Akira thought before it was kicked down. Akira watched as Iris loaded his weapon, then promptly unloaded it into the mad man holding a knife up to a woman’s neck. Akira squinted his eyes. Is that blood? He thought as he rushed over to the women, taking out his med pack, his robot companion, Paladin, following close behind.

"Toroki take care of her wounds. Bruce after he's done offer her a shoulder to carry her out. We need to get her treatment back at base." Akira heard Iris say as he knelt down beside the woman, scanning for any cuts or bruises she may have.

“Already on it” Akira replied. Apart from the shock of having a cups worth of blood sprayed onto her, and the small cut on the woman’s neck, she seemed to be all right. He smiled, pleased that there was no serious injury to be found. He took out his bottle of disinfectant and splashed a tiny but on the woman’s neck. She grimaced in pain for a moment.

“Sorry. Better to feel a bit of pain now then up with an infection and die.” Akira smiled. “Now wouldn’t that be embarrassing, surviving this then dying from an infection.” He tried to hold on to his sense of humor through this whole ordeal. It kept him sane. Akira applied a small bandage to the cut, the kind that you would find in a super market. He kept the industrial sized stuff for actual emergencies.

"Hey Elliot, you got anything? See anything coming our way?" Iris asked Elliot.

When isn’t there? Akira thought to himself.

"I can see the presence of something fast, just outside the walls and above the ceiling, not sure what it is exactly, oh shit, wait. Rage spawns, we've got Rage spawns, that fucker was housing these things, there's food, carcasses everywhere, hell there's shit right on top of us." Eliot replied.

"Crap" Akira sighed and stood up, pulling out a two handed controller, like one the would be used for a video game console. He was ready for a fight with Paladin.

Bruce came in last, making sure there weren't any demons deciding to flank them as they entered the building. He got in just as soon as Iris gave him the orders to offer the woman a shoulder, he nodded at him and put his AS50 on his back and put the woman's arm around his shoulders after Akira was done fixing her up. After Elliot had revealed there were rage spawns he instinctively took out his desert eagle. You need to stay here, ma'am, and stay calm, Bruce whispered as he set her down near a corner, "I won't let anything happen to you alright, just as long as you don't draw attention to yourself."

He quickly checked to make sure he had a full magazine before the little buggers descended on them. "How many do you see?" Bruce declared across the room to Elliot as he was looking up at the ceiling.

Lucas fell in right behind Iris as he booted the door in, Mossberg 500 sweeping the room as the rifle barked and put the madman down. Nothing else the naked eye could see, so he lowered the shotgun and got out of the way so the others could get in. The woman was attended to by their medic Toroki and given a helping hand by Bruce, resident marksman. When Iris gave the order for someone to burn the body, Lucas immediatly started gathering flamable material, shotgun hanging from his shoulder at the moment. "On burn detail, chief." It didn't take long to get the material together, and get everything set up to torch the mad bastard. Sure, Limbo may have merged and have all hell literally break loose, but that didn't excuse this. Feral daemons, plus the new flaming demon chased off by Dante, were bad enough. But this sure as hell didn't help any, and he stood up, reaching into a pocket for his lighter. He would torch the body immediatly, only when they were leaving. Of course, Elliot called out the Rage spawns moving about and closing in, and he left the lighter in his pocket, readying his shotgun again, and sweeping constantly. Never an easy job when it came to dealing with wackjobs and daemons.

"Body's ready to go up in flames once the feral daemons are chased off." Lucas didn't let the fact they dealing with unseen daemons all about them, far as Elliot had called out it was only Spawn thus far. But until they were back at HQ there was no letting guard down, even a tiny bit.

"Everybody out!" Iris yelled shooting burst fire rounds at the rage spawns as they came into focus. "Keep the girl safe." His order was directed at Bruce. He fired a few more rounds sending three spawn twisting through the air. "Kill them and get out we don't have time to sit here and wait for more to come."

Outside the building they were met with light. The sun was blinding coming out of the darkness but Iris and the others carried on. "Go left under the debris." Iris ordered the group to take a dangerous pass that had fallen buildings lying against one another. The two buildings were only a few stories in height but would easily kill the whole team if they fell. "Someone put a charge out and detonate it as they pass. The buildings won't be able to support themselves." It was a move based on luck but it was needed if they wanted to keep from being surrounded. Rage spawns were fragile and weak but if they kept tearing at you in numbers they could ware you down and kill you.

Elliot stood back against the wall as they charged in, he shot his automatic crossbow directly where they were charging in from, bolts piercing flesh and blood becoming the new paint of the floor, some bolts making their way through one or more of the spawns. A few leaking in and he ran out of crossbow bolts, the number becoming too overwhelming. He grunted and as he was ordered to move out of the room he unsheathed his short sword to defend himself with a faster responding time. He strapped his crossbow on his back and ran out following the members of the team, any over sized rat that came too close was slashed at, either losing a limb, possibly a head, or just deeply cut open.

When he made it outside he adjusted his vision to view a bit more of limbo making the sun not as bright and he was able to adjust easier. He looked around, seeing the buildings Iris was talking about, he nodded and ran to the debris, seeing an opening to the other side of the street at the end. He yelled back, "Get your asses through here, I can only do this once, you don't make it in time we could all die," he through to the end of the debris and stood in the middle of the street, seeing it was all clear on that side, he set his canister down and reached towards the bottom grabbing out a large clip of crossbow bolts, but these were different, they were covered in a white powder, each bolt having a unique carving on it. He loaded up his crossbow and aimed at the top of the building on the left, shooting down the side across the street and up to the top of the building on the right, finishing the clip of bolts. The white powder started glow, preparing a barrier when he spoke of the incantation, "Hurry up, I'm almost done."

The spawns would for sure be crushed by the debris once it's blown up, but they could still phase in and out of what ever it left of limbo, not much but a small ledge could make all the difference. They could easily climb over it and the whole team would be screwed. Being out in the open they could also alarm of nearby Demons, not all spawns, some worse, this barrier was a fail safe and make their escape much smoother and easier. It would take him another week or so to create the clip for the barrier, so it had to be used wisely and with that mass number of Rage Spawns, their screaming and growling calling nearby Demons to come, this had to be the perfect time to use it.

[Torack]

Bruce had his desert eagle out, head-shooting every spawn he aimed. In all honesty, he was having a little fun finally being part of the action instead of camping up on top a roof or in a building watching the team's back. He was just about to get carried away until Iris ordered everyone out. "Keep the girl safe," he ordered Bruce. "Gotcha boss," he yelled over the gun-fire. He looked back down at the girl, who was crunched upon herself and covering her ears, tears streaming down her face.

Bruce gave her a light tap on the arm. When she looked up he urged her to give him her hand. She hesitated lightly before taking a deep breath and giving the guy who was supposed to save her life her hand. Quickly, Bruce moved her behind him as he was facing the hordes of rage spawns. He kept moving back, his stance low, shooting spawns. Two down, three, four. As the two left the building, he saw the pass Iris had mentioned. "Run! Go!" Bruce said to the lady pointing as the pass. The clip fell, and without taking his eyes off the enemy he reloaded his pistol and kept firing, before he too turned and legged it before the building collapsed.

[WeskerV2]

Lucas would be the last out of the building, lighting the body and getting out regardless. They may be dealing with a bunch of Rage Spawns, but that didn't stop him from having to actually go through with the initial order to burn the body. Who knows, maybe the smell of roasting flesh might distract some of the Spawns. Then again, they did seem to prefer the flesh fresh. And still alive, if the had the option. He kept up, bringing up the rear of the group, firing off shotgun blasts at any Rage Spawn within reach, pausing to reload when the opportunity presented itself. The medium started doing something, while yelling at the group to get moving. Didn't need to tell him twice, as he backpedaled as quickly as he could, firing off shots all the while at anything getting too close. He drew his sidearm and started firing as well, helping cover Bruce and the woman.

"You'd think the world's gone to hell these days..." Lucas kept firing, reloading without missing a beat, shotgun resting on his back via the sling, it would take too long to manually load the shells at this point. He was in position now, waiting for the Medium to get finished with what he was doing, which better work or they might not be just walking away from this.

Akira began playing with the controller, and immediately Paladin came out of auto pilot and under Akira's control. Faster then a wasp, Paladin clambered to a nearby wall and began walking vertically across it, towards the Rage Spawn. Akira has dealt with rage spawn before, but that didn't mean he was always immune to their disgusting disposition. Needless to say he was glad Paladin would be doing all the work, and he wouldn't have to get near the things. Akira himself darted by the door, watching as the group ran out. He commanded Paladin to keep the spawns at bay, shocking them with his electric tail whenever they got close. When Akira saw that Lucas was the last one left in the room, Akira ran out of the building. Paladin unlatched from the wall, landed on his feet, and ran after Akira, catching up fairly easily.

The sun stung Akira's eyes for a brief moment, but Akira pressed on, following Iris. Akira looked past Iris to find that he was leading them towards two building leaning on each other. Surely he doesn't mean for us to cross it! Akira thought to himself. But then he heard Iris' command and his heart sank. This cant end well... Akira continued running, until he saw Eliot stop and prepare an incantation. He passed Eliot, turned and stopped, watching him prepare the explosion. This better work, or we're screwed!
