[IC] Hellsquad: Mercenary's who become heroes

[Stryder]

Cassius gasped as he was pulled along by Sashia, he kept up with her easily and looked toward her. "What would you have me do?" He asked her, he was still a bit nervous about showing his power but he looked around the area with using infared vision, he was picking up heat signatures. "There are people here....I know it..." He said with determination, he was prepared to fight though but he was afraid to use his powers. "I am.....unsure about using my powers..." He admitted.

[Razil]

Maria was dashing out after mike and the others. she drew her daggers quickly in case something jumped out at her, the blades roses glowing red. she caught a glance at Cassius as he stumbled after Shashia who was pulling him along. drawing level with them Maria was now running parallel to the two. Cassius was more sure of his running now. he was speaking but the wind caught his words before the reached Maria's ears, she shrugged and concentrated on the sprint ahead of her caching sight of Hugo in the sky like an ink blot on a clean page. "Hugo fly lower to the ground your too high up" she said even though he was far away and Maria hadn't yelled, he dipped down and flew into mikes wake riding the wind that our commander had made.

Ryan's shape-shifting abilities made him less impressed with the flexibility than some of the others. He followed the group, looking in the direction of the compound. "Anyone able to give me a quick way over there so I can start off the stealth part of this?" He glanced around at the group, not having bothered to think about anyone's powers before asking. He didn't really care who did it, but so long as he could get there and start the mission so the others wouldn't have to wait, it was worth it. He figured he could pretend to be one of the guards at the initial attack, killing off some of them with his shadows, and giving the others an advantage.

[jman221]

Jurano heard Ryan's request and swooped down picking him up.

"All aboard Jurano express, please keep your seatbelt on at all times and enjoy the flight." He said flying faster than the group, he swooped between the different buildings hoping no one could see Ryan, he landed closer to the facility, dropping of Ryan. "We hope your flight was acceptable, please come again." He said laughing,he quickly flew back to the group which made some ground in the time he dropped of Ryan, he swooped down still camouflaged and hovered above Mike giving him the details he saw of the facility.
"Basically, lots of cover, little area to use dragon form. That's all I saw, oh and some guards patrolling."

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike recorded everything he was told about the facility as he thought about it before he looked at Nari and said "You best go join Ryan Nari, maybe you and I can be alone later" Mike flirted with Nari again before he nodded. Sashia looked at Cassius and said "Only use your power's if you have to Cassius, there no need to draw unwanted attention on ourselves". Mike then told the rest of the team to get into position as he got his team in position until Nari and Ryan had gave them a clear path

[Minarawr]

Nari looked at Mike, then winked. 'Will,do cappy~' she said and did a final check on her gear. She didn't have much gear on her, so she simply checked a small set of throwing knives strapped against her waist and the nine blades connected to the tips of her tails. 'Hm, see you in a bit.' she gave a casual wave and jumped off on all fours, jumping onto the roof and flipping out of sight.

Mina finished her own preperations, having summoned a small pack of hellhounds, several small guard demons to keep watch and her banshee. She looked at everybody. 'Okay, the watch is ready.'

[HellHoundWoof]

Prozest Turr stared at the orb, his spear at his side he stood watching it. He had attempted to read into its aura but could not, every time he tried he was pushed out. He knew it held sorrow and pain within it but could not help but be enticed by its mystery, on occasion he found himself standing in one place and the next second reaching out to touch the orb. He retracted his hand back each time and simply stared into it, his vision was blurred and his mind was sent to a scene a ways away from him. He saw a team of soldiers exiting a ship some with wings some with weapons, one drawing on the ground then spilling her blood and summoning some form of dog. He watched and grimaced as he heard their plans to reach the orb and felt the need to protect it, he knew this desire was not his own and looked at the orb. It seemed to invade his mind, he continued watching it and felt its influence soon his own mind convinced him it would be wise to protect it.

"Turest vask ka a," He said in his native tongue, Protect till death . He took a knee as he said this then jogged to the side of the fairly sized room in which the orb was held, he climbed to the rafters above his spear in hand, he stabbed the sharp end into the wall he had chosen to rest his back on, and retracted it making a large enough hole so he could set the blunt end their in the event he needed to throw it quickly. He set it in their and pulled his Ska'lat tooth necklace out of his side pouch, he held it to his forehead and remembered a time when he rested on his home planet after his first hunt. He had taken down the beast with a spear throw far superior to the other members of his tribe at his age. He was granted the pick of the kill and decided only to take a hoof and the large front fang, this was a sign of humility and gave him right to be a hunter while still considered too young for the task. He sat their engulfed in the memory a blank look on his face his pupils had turned white he slipped into the memory fully and would not wake till it had finished.

Schal nodded at Mikes orders and creep into position behind a wall. He took out a pair of binoculars and looked over the area before going back behind the wall. Schal checked over his weapons one last time and put on his gas mask. Schal left the the cover of the wall and headed closer to facility and hid behind a rock. The sanfures activated his comm "Schal here I'm in position, awaiting further orders," he said.

[Razil]

Maria Was leaning agent a door frame of a nearby shead she was standing in the blackness of the shadows. Hugo had inspected it from the inside, it was strangle empty off any life which to Maria was a little suspicious. she proceeded to uncurling her Whip testing its strength " hmmm Hugo this will be tricky there no Flora on this planet no botanical life........" "then well just have to adapted to our surroundings don't let your guard down" he said to Maria in a squawk from her shoulder. Maria activated her Comm Unit " Ready at your orders......." She Said

Cassius raised an eyebrow at what the captain said to the nine-tailed female Nari, he didn't understand what he meant but it didn't matter. He gave out a sigh of relief, he was glad he didn't have to use his powers yet, hopefully he didn't have to at all. He began moving toward the team he was designated to, this industrial planet seemed like it had a lot of tech. He wasn't going to doubt for a second that they might be being watched. He watched a large impression on the wall lift upward, out crawled a mechanical monster, it looked like a spider. The Arachnid mech locked its vision on the first things it saw, Zayne, Nari, and Ryan. Cassius watched from the back of the group as it sped toward them, it's sharp pointed fangs cocked back and ready to strike forward. This thing looked like it had a tough armor on, Cassius figured he could easily break it but that would require use of his powers.

He couldn't let anyone die because of his fears though, as the mech's fangs shot forward, Cassius had gotten in front of the group in that split second, grasping the pair of fangs that were individually aimed at Nari and Zayne. Now he was showing his ability but not all of them so he was glad about that, he slowly crushed the fangs before pulling the mech to his level, taking off both fangs and attacking the spider mech's remaining legs. He delivered the kill blow by driving his fist into the mech's head and tearing out its programming drives. Cassius had a look of anger on his face as he looked down at the mech he stood upon, he hated things that threatened teammates with a passion.

He was just grateful that he didn't turn into steel in front of them, their possible reactions concerned him. He looked toward the team, hoping their reactions wouldn't be negative, he was supposed to clear a path as his orders stated. He stepped off of the much and lifted it up using both hands, it was virtually weightless to him, no strain or effort. Using one hand he threw the limbless spider mech out of their path, he wasn't going to throw it into orbit, he didn't want show he was that strong. He didn't see any point to use his powers to their full potential.

[Minarawr]

Upon realizing they were being targeted, Zayne had drawn her swords to defend them. Nari had readied her tailblades and both of them had blood flowing around them, from small bottles Zayne had strapped to her side. Right before the two would attack though, Cassius jumped in front of them and attacked the spider mech that had attacked them.
They stood back when they realized he could handle it and waited for him to finish the creature. When he did Zayne simply nodded and walked in further, using her ability to sense souls to see where the guards were. Nari smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up. 'Nice job. This task is gonna be a piece of cake.' she said before moving after Zayne.
Zayne turned to Ryan. 'Two guards up ahead, they'll be coming around the corner in about 4 minutes. Care to distract them?' she said.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike chuckled a little as Cassius showed off the basics of his powers right in front of the others before he said "Cassius, return back here for now." Sashia smiled and said "Wow, he's handsome and strong". Mike chuckled a little at his sister comment before he looked at Ryan and nodded. Ryan punched his fist together as he said "Of course Zayne, I'll make sure these guards are distracted giving you guys the chance to go on ahead". He then moved to the corner and got ready for the guards.

[Stryder]

Cassius returned the gesture of a thumbs up to Nari, he appreciated the praise but it wasn't really needed. He easily heard Sashia's words, that was a compliment he'd humbly accept. But it full truth he didn't understand it, he wasn't very understand of emotions, all he knew was battle and war. The world he lived on required it and for what he was his power was subject to prejudice. He followed his team, keeping his eyes out for any mechanized war machines like the one he faced previously.

[jman221]

Jurano was flying around cloaked and saw someone throw a spider mech around like it was a toy. Nobody on our team has that amount of strength, well maybe Mike and Sashia but they're over there..... IT MUST BE CASSIUS! he thought to himself. He flew in closer and it confirmed his theory, giving a smile at the newbies performance he yelled down at the group.

"WELL DONE CASSIUS!" He continued his routine of eliminating snipers one by one with either his swords or rifle. After that he saw the facility location and decided to scout it out while everyone caught up, making sure he was still camouflaged he moved inside and found it barely guarded. What he did see was an orb, he quickly knew that this had to the objective. Due to his angelic abilities he could sense the evil behind this orb. Without a second thought he retreated to tell Mike what they were dealing with.

"MIKE!" he yelled as he flew in closer "The objective is an orb. Also Mike it has this presence about it that I can't put my finger on, I suggest we do this carefully and a little more slowly than we have been." he said hovering above his position cloaked.

[Razil]

Maria was Sprinting form cover to cover killing off her enemy's form behind, sometimes if she wasn't careful they would see her and it would turn out ugly she was leaning against a wall cleaning her daggers when she hurd the crash and clank of metal and the a giant metal spider came flying over the barricade and slammed into the ground 10 feet away. "Woah......Hugo go see what that was all about and see if you can spot the others i think its time to regroup don't you think"...

"Yes.....Maria was the Ravens reply. He spread his wings a flew over the ledge to scout. he came back and told me were everyone was and that Cassius had just taken on the spider by himself.
Maria nodded and jumped over the wall and ran after Hugo who was her guide to the others she made it back just as Jurano was flying back. he was talking to the commander the object we were after before i skidded to a stop in among est the group.

[rusty4297]

Ryan glanced to Cassius who had recently killed the large spider before changing his form to that of the guards coming down the hall. He stepped out from behind the corner and looked at them. "Hey... I was on patrol but got a little lost... Either of you guys got a map?" He walked closer to the two, holding out his hand in the hopes one might have a map. As they seemed to be confused, he controlled the shadow of one of them to solidify, coming up and wrapping around the enemy's neck. To keep up Ryan's act, as well as confuse them, he widened his eyes and mouth, stepping back, "OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL!?" The shadow constricted on the man's neck, killing that particular guard. (Mina's turn)

[Minarawr]

Nari smirked as Ryan shapeshifted into a guards appearance and stepped back. Killing was her thing, but killing silently wasn't. Her victims were often most tasty still alive and Nari did not want to have them any other way. She stepped back and allowed Zayne to step forward, causing the reaper to smirk and slip behind Ryan. The moment he killed the guard she stepped forward, her blade piercing the second guard through his throat, leaving him gasping for air and not able to make a sound. She moved her face close to his and sucked in the air, a colored stream exiting from his mouth as she absorbed his soul.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike was thinking when he heard Jurano give him an update on what the object was. "An Orb you say? hmmm that's really odd, Our employer said that the object was a small machine like monster that had to be sealed into a cube. Though I am now, really curious about this orb I wonder if we could get a good price for that as well" Mike said looking serious before he chuckled and said "Don't worry Jurano, we're always careful when it comes down to extraction jobs". Sashia smiled at Cassius before she said "I think we should be moving in Soon Cassius, are you ready for whatever comes next?"

[Stryder]

"Yes, I'm ready..." He said to Sashia, following along with his team, he admired how easily Zayne and Ryan used their powers, he wished he could be that courageous when it came to his powers. He kept following until he got to a door, he looked fcused his vision, his sight going through the metal and within the room, there were soldiers all lined up with their weapons raised. "Everyone, get to cover please...." He didn't want them to see what he was going to do, he thought forward to if he hadn't used his powers at the moment, he would have gotten people hurt or worse.

[Razil]

Maria was walking down tho corridor behind everyone when Cassius said "Everyone, get to cover please...." his voice shaking slightly. Maria didn't hesitate to pace down an adjacent corridor Hugo at her shoulder, she braced her self for what was about to happen drawing her daggers in front of her. her view was blocked by the wall but she could still hear Cassius cautious steps towards the door.
