[color=#FF7F00]“We need to salvage what we can from Cerulean Knight’s crash.  Was anybody able to identify that player, she’s definitely under the Black King’s command… Regroup and reassess our options for taking out that other dissolution.  Be advised that it’s still being escorted by multiple outlaws, so prep yourselves for PvP.  They can probably overwhelm us with brute force, but as long as we can go about this strategically, we can turn the tables on those boneheads.  Let’s take that KS as a freebie and be glad we didn’t lose any more of our forces, yeah?  I repeat, all squads, get prepped for further combat.”[/color][/quote]  After sending the message, his eyes glazed over another one he instantly received.  A sign of life from his boss at least eased his subtle angst a bit.

The crackles of lightning echoed in the distance.  Moon, for once, wasn’t in his chipper mood.  He was hoping that the players involved in this would receive substantial EXP for their efforts, but only ended up receiving partial rewards due to that out of the blue kill steal.  He turned himself around to face the other five- scratch that, six players surrounding hi-.  Wait a second.  Six?  He was so engrossed in the message that he didn’t notice that a player, yet another newbie at that, had sneaked up behind them and offered both hands in assistance.  Instinctively his five teammates leaped back and focused their rifles on the girl.  He honestly couldn’t blame them for their rash reaction, considering the fact that a player had just combo-hit their opponent in one go.  Anybody would be on their guard after seeing that.  [color=#FF7F00]”Rifles down everybody.”[/color] He ordered calmly with an outstretched hand.  It was as if he controlled their guns as he lowered the appendage to his side.

Moon pushed his goggles up to his forehead and scrutinized the new arrival.  How did she get here?  They were essentially in the middle of deadlands.  Did a developer just plop her down here as another soul to join the fight?  She wasn't too tall of stature, although her character model was given some extra height due to her crimson hair.  He continued to analyze the girl in a taciturn manner, until an amiable smile came into fruition.  It soon became evident that she was a mage, something they desperately needed more of.  Not wanting to miss on this grace, he quickly delved into a conversation.  [color=#FF7F00]”Alright, fine, we’re game.  Name’s Paper Moon.”[/color] He politely introduced himself as he brought around his thumb and pointed it at himself.  [color=#FF7F00]”Call me Moon for short.  Or Paper.  PM, maybe?  Whatever floats your beached boat, since there's no water as far as the eye can see.  The girl over there who looks like she’s ready to shove her staff down somebody’s throat is Strawberry Baby.”[/color] Moon nodded his head slightly towards the mage adjacent to him, [color=#FF7F00]”Don’t worry, looks are just for show~!  She doesn’t bite… I think.  Stick close to us.  Rest of the people in this squad are in the same state of affairs as you, as in they’re all still learning.  Contribute to this, and you’re guaranteed a hefty amount of EXP.”[/color] 

Leviathan was probably en route as he spoke, and drew closer with every word.  [color=#FF7F00]”Hey, Drauni, Sky Knight, you two mind grabbing our ride?  Looks like the gun fell off the gas.”[/color] The two players nodded and cautiously moved out from behind the outcrop to retrieve the APC, their lids pried open in case of any further unforeseen events.  Moon covered his eyes with his hand and focused on the remaining dissolution, narrowing them against the sun.  It was still in the process of carrying out its assault on the city, and chances are, it wouldn’t take action against them until a notable amount of its escorts were dispatched.

[color=#FF7F00]”Our squad alongside Jet Rhino’s will take care of the escorts and cover Strawberry Baby, as she is our strongest mage.  While on that subject, our squad has managed to… [i]find[/i] an additional mage, so yeah!  Other squads prioritize keeping your mages out of harm’s way.  Arms Slave, gather your bearings, we’ll take vanguard until you’re ready.”[/color][/quote]

Drauni and Sky Knight had a small conversation between themselves as they both leaped into the vehicle.  Moon turned around to face his comrades, a blatantly obvious thrill burning vibrantly in his eyes.  [color=#FF7F00]”Everybody, pack your bags!  We’re going on a road trip!”[/color] Moon shouted ecstatically, with both hands raised high as he jumped up into the air.

(If Alina is fine with tagging along)

[b]”WHAT THE FUC-”[/b] Were the last valiant words of an Outlaw as he and his mount were abruptly flattened by a War Machine.  The rogue winced at the bumps hitting the belly of the APC.  [color=#FF7F00]”Oof, sounded like that hurt.  Alright, everybody out!”[/color]  They decided to leave their mid-range combatants, Drauni and Sky Knight, on a dune overlooking their current position.  Already the Outlaws has noticed a break in their surprisingly coordinated assault, albeit the fact that they were brutes, and were soon rerouting a handful of their numbers to deal with the new hindrance in their scheme.  Bullets already peppered the transport as the five players filed out and took cover behind its armor.  

[color=#FF7F00]”They’re a few foundations up the ways we can use as cover.  We’ll push up on my mark.  Jet Rhino’s squad should be here momentarily.”[/color]  

Paper Moon quickly loaded in a new magazine and with the dry one still in hand, leaned over the vehicle’s side and tossed it at a rushing assailant.  With the utmost accuracy, the mag hit the player smack dab in the nose.  Completely stunned by this unaccounted attack, he was unknowingly on a one way ticket to the death screen via his mount.  The horse sped past the APC with its rider still in a disgruntled state.  The whole squad tore that sorry sap a new one.  His body fell into the sand with an anticlimactic plop, he died just as pitifully as he fought.

[color=#FF7F00]”Okay, let’s move it!”[/color] Moon shouted as he activated [color=blue]FAIRY BLUE[/color] and emerged from behind the APC.
