[color=ed1c24]Ebrima: ”Get a room, you two. One without bioweapons in it.”[/color]

Chuck just chuckled, sounding downright happy as he replied. 

[color=8dc73f]Chuck: “Well I can’t deny that I would love that but Ebrima do you think it is a smart idea to potentially insult Freya? Not to mention our lovely Battle Goddess could rip your arms off and feed them to you if you piss her off. I am pretty sure her siblings would help her. You do know her father’s temper is legendary right? Besides, the plan is to kill Artemis and woo the lady respectfully first. I like my heads attached to my body, you know.”[/color]

Chuck had run headlong into battle. They needed to deal with this damn toxin. Chuck had just taken out four guards as their group engaged the guards coming towards them. Ebrima had gone high and left as he had charged towards the center of the space. Chuck heard heavy clunking up from behind him. He turned back towards the center after kicking a soldier into the wall. Three men in exos were coming towards him. One of them was a giant like chuck. He was in the biggest exo unit that Chuck had ever seen. He easily topped Chuck’s impressive height by about a foot because of the exo. He was more muscular than Chuck as well. He had a nasty jagged scar running down the left side of his face that bisected his eye. The eye itself was cybernetic and glowed a neon blue. The man was shaved bald but had a blonde beard. The black tattoos that ran up the side of his neck identified him as Russian. 

Chuck went straight for the giant as the giant surged towards him. The titans met in the middle with a horrendous crash of sound. The groaning and tearing sound of metal could be heard. The exo clad soldier on the left tried to get around Chuck to engage Ban while the one on the right lifted his gun and began firing at Ebrima. Chuck was knocked back as the Russian slammed his boot into his side. Chuck was lifted off the floor by the strength of the blow. Chuck’s fist slammed into the knee joint of the exo in an attempt to immobilize or slow down his opponent. The giant managed to dodge. The tearing sound was some of the outer layer of Chuck’s armor being torn by the blow. Chuck spun and lashed out with an armored boot as the one on the left was trying to get past him. His foot connected with the soldier’s chest and knocked him off his feet. He managed to dent the man’s armor and he was down for the moment. Chuck spun back around and launched a fist at the Russian’s armored head. Chuck’s fist was stopped by the man’s helmet but he managed to crack the helmet. 

The Russian growled and shook his head, raising his heavy guns up and taking a shot at Chuck. Chuck didn’t see the Russian because he had turned his back on him to engage the other exo clad soldier that was targeting Ebrima. He managed to surprise the man in the exo from behind. Chuck wrapped his arms around the man and caught his armored head in a lock. Chuck applied his augmented strength and began fighting the enhanced strength of the exo as he tried to break the man’s neck. You could hear actuators whining and metal being stretched. Chuck let out a scream of effort as he put his all into it. There was a popping and tearing noise and Chuck felt the resistance give. At that moment Chuck took a hit to his back as the heavy caliber bullets from the giant ripped into his back plate. 

Chuck spun and began dodging but there wasn’t a lot of room for that in here. The Russian managed to continue to hit Chuck. Chuck lifted his wrist and sent some taser flechettes from his wrist launchers towards the Russian. They hit his suit and didn’t seem to even slow him down. He didn’t want to switch to armor piercing rounds because they still had to neutralize the toxin. They didn’t want to pierce the tank and release the toxin before it had been neutralized. Chuck knew what he had to do. He charged towards the Russian, taking heavy fire as he went. He needed to get close enough to grapple with him again. Chuck kept charging even as he felt his armor weakening as he felt pain along the rib cage. He let out a battle cry as he tackled the Russian giant taking him down off his feet. Chuck and Russian began a metal suited wrestling match. The Russian was very good. Chuck couldn’t get a hold on him. Chuck was hard pressed to hold his own. The Russian managed to break Chuck’s armor further and worked a knife in between his ribs as Chuck slammed his knife home up from beneath the man’s chin where his armor was weakest.

Chuck pulled the knife out as quickly as he could. He pulled an emergency dressing out of the first aid kit in his thigh armor. He opened the pressure dressing and slapped over the knife wound hopefully sealing it up. Chuck groaned as he managed to roll over and get up on his knees with a grunt of pain. He used one of the algae racks to help pull himself to his feet. His voice was gritty as he asked for a sitrep over comms. 

[color=8dc73f]Chuck: “Is the toxin neutralized yet?”[/color] 

Chuck was looking around trying to get a sense of what was happening in the battle. He had lost track of the greater battle while he dealt with the giant. He was feeling a little disoriented.
