[IC] Hellsquad: Mercenary's who become heroes

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike nodded as he was informed of the defensives, he closed his eye as he took on his dragon form and tore the vault door off, immediately the turrets open fired on him but the bullets bounced off his dragon skin as he kept his softer belly protected and breathed out the blue fire melting the turrets and destroying the last door which smashed into the ground next to the warrior on the other side. Mike roared as he told the other it was safe to come out as he took on his human form again.

[jman221]

Jurano entered the room behind Mike who took the brunt of the heavy fire, when he called clear and turned into his human form Jurano took his sister over to a spot.

"Please, I know the last thing you need right now is to get hurt, just stay here yeah?" he asked her with a brotherly tone. Jurano then turned invisible to try and find this warrior she was talking about. He moved around the room swiftly trying not to make any noise when he saw the orb. Something's not right, not right at all. That orb has dark properties we know that much, but i still can't put my finger on it... He thought to himself still moving around. He then found the warrior holding his spear about ten metres in front of him, Jurano decided that he wouldn't be too much of a challenge and took it upon himself to eliminate the threat. He moved over and noticed that his movements were rigid and looked controlled. That's when his camouflage wore out and his position revealed to the warrior standing in front of him.

[Minarawr]

Mina entered the room, a small group of floating demons circling around them. She immediately walked over to the orb, Zayne joining her by her side.
'Everybody from the sealing team, circle around the orb, but don't touch it.' she ordered.
'I want protectors on every corner and at the exits and entrances, long range and short range fighters near the sealers.' she said.

[eemmtt]

Schal got out of cover and quiclky enter the room. The ex-imperial solider keep his rile up and sweep the room in-case there was anyone hiding. Schal turned to face Mike "couldn't save any for us?" he said sarcastically. Hearing Mina order he hanged back away from the orb quietly muttering a prayer as he got into a long range position.

[Stryder]

Cassius nodded at Mina's command and stood at an exit as he was told, he wasn't going to let any hostile being in or out. That orb though, he wasn't sure about being in the same room with it, it was making him uncomfortable.

[Kiotra546]

Koat acknowledged her brothers request, but she wasn't going to follow it. She stayed put for the moment but when everything went under way she was going to see if they needed help. She watched as everyone entered the room.
I hope they don't need any help otherwise i may not be any help... She continued to wait while they did their jobs.

[rusty4297]

Ryan entered the room, nodding to Mina as she spoke the orders. He got into position as he waited for any attacks. Any smart leader of a group defending a base would ensure their employees had plenty of methods to call for help... Especially with something this important as the object they're protecting... I'm not sure all of her communication devices are gone... Although... There could be a way to help both sides avoid trouble... "Jurano... Perhaps bring her in here, and pretend she's being held hostage so that she's not shot if any guards come to stop us from that direction?" This way we'll see her doing anything she might try, and she won't be shot while we do this...

[HellHoundWoof]

Prozest Turr watched as a woman entered the room and approached the orb surrounded by some form of creatures, his spear held for a moment before he launched it at too speed. The spear pierced one demon through the neck and then impaled another through the chest. Prozest Turr jumped down pulling a short blade he ran at the creatures, he dug his knife into the closest ones temple and pulled it out harshly. He then proceeded to execute the other demons, he set his knives into their sheathes and grabbed his spear from the carcass of one of the creatures, he aimed it at the approaching parties and kept his back to the orb in a defensive stance. He noticed people wielding guns and made a circle around the orb swinging his spear and lightly stabbing at people not harming them but keeping them back from the orb.

"Peertas," prozest shouted "peertas, pridacta!"

He did not assume they would listen but the orb didn't allow him to translate his words into their minds. He continued shouting over and over, but he knew they didn't understand. He held one hand out to his left and his spear held in his right hand. He held his left hand in front of him and circled the orb. He looked into the eyes of each of them some wielding weapons some with strange outfits, then of course the woman with the ugly creatures which he had killed.

"Peertas," he said with his voice slightly raised " peertas pridacta, peertas..."

Prozest noticed movement out of the corner of his eye and jumped above the woman with the demons, upon coming down behind her he slammed the blunt end of his spear into the back of her head sending her tumbling forward, machine gun fire came from his left and he launched his spear once more tearing through the rifle of a man wearing all black with a scarf around his neck. The rifle shattered into metal splinters, prozest grabbed one of the larger shards possibly from the barrel and planted it into the leg of the man. He kicked the mans legs from under him and brought his fists above his head. He clasped his fists and brought them down on the mans chest, hearing a crack Prozest began to stand but held himself there for a second and made contact with the mans skin. He transferred the knowledge to understand the language of Prozests people. Prozest felt himself being forced to stand and drew his short blades facing the rest of his enemies. He wanted to drop the blades but could not, he had no control. His body was merely a conduit for the orbs evil purposes. He repeated his warning in his language once more, back, stay back.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike flinched as he saw Prozest injury Mina greatly, he drew his duel blades as he nodded to Sashia who ran to Mina side and would try and get her out of there as quickly as possible as Mike looked at his squad and said "Alright guys, attack as a team we should be able to take him down. Cassius, guard Mina and Sashia. Ryan and Nari attack with me, Zayne try and distract him as much as you can giving us an opening". Mike then breathed blue fire on his weapons giving them a powerful glow before he pointed them at Prozest.

[Stryder]

Cassius nodded at Mike's orders, looking toward both of the females, Sashia tending to Mina's injury. He kept himself in control as he started to get angry, he didn't like this, he didn't like what he was seeing, the sight of injured comrades. He glanced at the two he stood in front in a protective manner, his power was a blessing if he wanted to defend anyone from anything.

[Minarawr]

Mina growled when her minions were taken out. She looked around to see who shot them down, but was caught by surprise when she received a bang on her head, causing her to fall forward. Her shadows automatically tried to protect her, so the blow was lessened, but it was enough to make her dizzy and fall to the ground. Her vision was a bit blurry as Sashia ran up to her and attempted to get her away. She shook her head, first still dizzy, but then annoyed. 'I'm fine... just caught off guard.' she stated and got on her feet. She drew her scythe and lifted it, black electricity dancing over the blade and an annoyed growl escaping her lips.

Nari smirked as she heard Mike order them into formation. Her favorite order was given to her, "attack". She stood ready and moved next to Mike, smirking lightly and readying her blades. 'Can I go first cappy? Can I, can I?' she asked excited.

Zayne slipped forward and lifted her bottles of blood, lifting the blood up and whipping into the attacker's direction.

[Razil]

Maria saw what the man with the spear had done and drew her daggers ready to strike, her whip was curling up her arm in case it was needed snaking its way up her wrist. she gave Mina a concerned glace but before long she was up and snarling at the thing that had attacked her, ready for more. Mike then told us to attack as one, Maria moved forward so she was standing beside Cassius, her blade glowed Red at the hilt and as the roses lit up. "ok" she hissed "let get this guy...." Hugo flew of her shoulder to perch above the door frame looking over everyone
"Caw"

[rusty4297]

Ryan saw something take out the demons that Mina had summoned. He frowned as he brought the shadows around him up in the form of tendrils. He tried to send a shadow to protect Mina as the attack from the being hit, but her own powers had protected her somewhat. He began walking forward, nodding as Mike requested his help as an attacker. The tendrils of shadow rose, moving about him as if they were each begging for the chance to strike first. He glanced to Zayne as she began the distraction and sent his shadow tendrils in Prozest's direction, aiming to get a grip on the enemy so he, or one of the others, could get in a good hit or two.

[HellHoundWoof]

Prozest noticed his enemies closing in on him, one girl had drawn two short swords a man had generated tendrils of black that now shot towards Prozest, along with a whip made of blood. He swung his spear left and right and blocked some, one wrapped around his arm as the whip of blood wrapped around his spear and tore it away from him. He saw no other options and began wrapping himself under it closing the gap between him and the source of the shadowy energy. He managed to get very close and swung his hands together in an upwards motion with great speed, striking the man in the face. He noticed some of the other closing in and heard a voice in his head, it spoke to his mind and told him to approach the orb and it would aid him in this fight. It had warped his mind into thinking this was his battle. He jumped above his enemies and landed in front of the orb, he quickly thrust his hand out and felt energy serge though his body. His mind went black for a moment and he felt pieces of his conscience join that of the others in the room, he knew he was there but he had no control of any of them. His mind plunged into their minds, their fears, their hopes, their past, even their most intimate of desires. He forced their minds into submission, forcing them each into their own box of their own realities.

[Razil]

Maria's vision spiraled in to the darkness as her body shut down around her. she was falling down, down, down, into a bottomless pit of inky darkness.she Herd Hugo screech and she felt his feathery wings against her face as he tried in vain to pull her up, struggled against her weight. her wold stopped spinning and spiraling so rapidly that the blackness around her shatter like glass. she was standing in vast room filled with clock and keys. tick tick tick. she looked around and saw no exit. suddenly the great big grandfather clock in the center of the room craked down the middle blood seeping out through the splinted wood. then the clock changed and was now the mangled body of her older brother bleeding and oozing black blood, his eyes wide and gaping but were pitch black, blood was trikerling down his face as he cracked like a china doal Maria screamed. the world shattered once again. but this time she was in the burning rekages of her home. fire blazing and roaring loud and high as it destroyed everything she held close.

she herd the sound of Hugo Caw as she whipped around drawing her dagger with tears in her eyes but what she was was even worse. the crippled corpse of her only friend lay at the feet of a man. she lost it Lashing out snarling in the accient tongue of her people. the people that now burned around her. she slashed at the man be he was quick to doge. he ducked and kicked Maria in the stomach. she when sproling but was quick to get up. flicking her hair out her eyes she snarled getting a god look of the man. he looked as if he had walked right out of a clock he had a gear sticking out the back of his head and an entire maniacal leg and arm his moments weren't smooth, he jolted and jerked every now and again. every link and nick in his mental skin was seeping black ooze that smoked and burned to the touch. his eyes were missing and in there place were a pair or tailors scissors sitting out of one and the other had a button sowed over it. Maria took a shaky breath and uncurled her whip. lashing it around his wrist, she jerked it up and to the side launching him off the ground and into the fire. he came staggering back but she was ready, swallowing her fear and rage as best she could she launched her attack catching it by surprise as she slashed at his face and torso. he staggered sparking and smoking, he racked down her back with razor sharp talon like finger nails. before kicking her in the back. she went down. coiffing and spluttering blood, "damit" she spat. she lunged again but this time she plunged both of her dagger deep into the spot where the things heart would have been, twisting and ripping his wires out in the process. he sparked one more before stabbing her in the side with his claws for good measure. he collapsed sparking and twitching before lying deadly still. Maria staggered back but before she could asses the damage the world slipped out from under her again and she was once again falling through the darkness.

[jman221]

Jurano was running towards the group, swords drawn. Mina, Schal i'm comeing to help guys. He kept running when he saw the warrior jump back and place his hands on the orb. Jurano felt waves of dark energy seeping into his mind, he tried resisting managing a few more steps before he slumped to the ground. He looked over and saw his sister, he tried calling out but he fell into a dark void.

Jurano looked around the void. Nothing, he saw nothing, he couldn't control his wings so he kept falling. He landed with a sudden stop feeling no pain. He looked behind him and saw his worst fear.
"MY WINGS! WHERE ARE THEY!?" he yelled at clawing at his back to check. nothing he kept scratching before he noticed his sister out of the corner of his eye."KOAT, WHERE ARE MY WINGS? CAN YOU SEE..." He stopped mid sentence to find that she was a still as a statue, kneeling down her slumped. he cautiously walked over and shook her around, her slumped backwards reavling a trail of blood from her mouth. He turned her around and saw a massive bloody hole in her back. Jurano stood in shock talking to himself.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..." he kept repeating until he was kicked by an unknown force. he got up and saw a man in a white lab coat standing over him with an evil smile. Jurano recognised this man and screamed in rage at the top of his voice.
"YOU MOTHER F@*KING BASTARD!" He drew his swords and swung like a mad man, the man dodged his attacks easily taking a few steps back or moving to the side. Jurano's attacks started getting faster and faster trying to hit the doctor. He yelled words of hate and anger, swinging and swinging away when the doctor kicked his stomach hard enough to wind him. The doctor started kicking at his body, stamping away, regeneration had its perks but not when he was being attacked helplessly. Jurano took this moment to plan an attack. He rolled over dodging the next kick and blasted away with a bright light that started penetrating the darkness. He kept firing away when he hit the doctors shoulder. The doctor staggered and Jurano took the opportunity to strike with the swords penetrating the doctors lungs and heart. The doctor came closer and whispered in his ear.
"You will never be free of me, Jurano." Before he slumped to ground, Jurano watched this and almost stabbed him again for good measure. Jurano saw that the darkness started to lift and his sister was gone, and his wings returned.

[Stryder]

Cassius was prepared to strike the enemy, aiming to deal a painful blow to him, not to kill him just to incapacitate. Unknowingly he was plunged into a nightmare in that mere second, he had been frozen in place, just stuck in reality while everything move around him. He started to swing through his fist connected with something, he had a shocked expression on his face in reality but in this realistic instance his expression was fixed to one of anger and hatred. It was Mike, the captain, the leader of the team he was with, that wasn't possible. He put a hand around the downed captain's neck, squeezing his neck and beginning to choke him. "No, stop!" Let him go!" He mentally shouted at himself, his grip only tightened on the dragon born, causing his airway to close in slowly. Cassius seemed to grin as he felt him struggling to breathe, seconds before he would pass out he loosened his grip. As he took in a deep breath Cassius knew the sudden rush of air would make him more lightheaded than he was already. A flick of the mutant's wrist snapped the captain's neck, killing him at the instant. Cassius' mind was further being bombarded by horrific thoughts, he feared that one day this could happen to him. He heard a feminine cry or rage and sorrow, a female with bloodshot red eyes with tears flowing down them rushed toward him.

It was Nari, Cassius tried so hard to stop himself, he instead put a boot to her face as she came speeding toward him, stomping her into the ground headfirst. "No! NO!" He shouted out in his mind as he looked down, Nari frantically tried to push his boot off to no avail. He had a devilish smirk on his face as he stamped down on her head harder and harder, slowly crushing her skull, her screams resonated in his ears. "You didn't honestly think you could kill me did you?" He smirked as he brought his foot down, making the side of her head cave in Cassius was horrified to see what he was doing, this was his fear though, this was his product of imagination. Her screams had long since silenced, the damage to the battlegrounds were immense, buildings were toppled, leveled, and even scattered. Civilian bodies lay broken and strewn out across streets, leaning out of the broken windows of smashed cars. His teammates who were not so luck in the initial attack were torn apart or beaten into bloody pastes. Military equipment such as heavily armed tanks and gunships, he felt a body on his back, legs wrapped around him from behind. He felt a tingling sensation, like volt going through him, they in fact were, his metal covered him in that instance of feeling the electricity. He felt two numbed objects go to his neck, they bent against him, the electricity around him got worse and much more violent, sparks jumped across, galvanizing metals. He picked the the attack by the shoulders and slammed them onto their back harshly, the force cracking the asphalt. He saw her, the one he was supposed to keep safe in his mission, her wound from her attacker in the orb room bled. "NO MORE!!!" He shouted as his nightmare self's fist went down toward her face, it was stopped by another hand, showing itself to be attached to Cassius, out of his metal form. "Stay out of my head!" In reality he clasped his head as he yelled those words toward his attacker, fighting his counterpart in his nightmare. His victory granted him freedom, he broke from his mental prison.

"Brother, isn't it amazing? This whole dimension is ours, neither heaven nor earth has escaped our dominion." A voice spoke as he watched out of the window of their castle, his Devil Trigger gauntlet on his left arm. "I suppose, but if we are to further expand our rule we must find other dimensions to rule..." The other spoke, he wore the same type of Devil Trigger but on his right arm. The two slashed into the air in front of them and a portal formed in front of them, a tear in the fabric of space-time. They stepped through and were greeted by the endless screams of agony and sorrow, the intense heat, and the deadly hell-beasts, the pits of Tartarus, the hell that their world had was much worse than any kind of fathomable hell.

Hell Hawks

The two were greeted by the individual sounds of loud, ear-piercing, banshee-like screeches advancing toward the, Their Hell-Hawks were ready to take them to the true palace of hell they resided in, after a few minutes of flying they got to their hellish and dark palace. "Brother, why didn't just fly ourselves?" Bastion asked, hopping off of the large beast, Alistair did the same, patting the large winged creature's head, purrs of happiness escaped it. "Because, they were already here for us.." He smiled, moving away from the beasts and walking down the path with his brother, opening the font gates. He wondered how their most loyal partners were to greet them. The two opened the large door to the palace and stepped inside, smiling a bit.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike Nightmare:
When MIke fell into the Nightmare he growled as he looked around he was surrounded by darkness and he was trap. Mike greatest fear was being alone but at the same time he feared the time when he would become a thousand years he was fall into a berserk dragon which has to be killed. Mike shock his head and slowly walked he did not call for someone. It was then that the Nightmare became real and he saw himself in Dragon form destroying the cities and he even saw the dead body of all his crew, it soon flashed and Mike was the dragon as he killed Nari and Sashia with nothing more then feeling hatred toward them all. He tore apart Mina and Zayne leaving their blood all over his own body which made the dragon smirk in happiness as it loved all the killing, Mike had to watch it constantly and the feeling of being watched was always there. Mike began to feel in his heart about what he knew and with that he turned the nightmare back, he know finally faced the Nightmare man that followed him and with a growl. The man attacked Mike span round and grab the man throat Mike eyes became a dragon black as he took on his dragon form squeezing the man neck as he brought the man right up to his face as he said "You are an asshole, but at the same time. I am proud to see my fear come to life in front of me, I'm afraid of being alone and losing everyone I care about Sashia and Nari are the two top one and the rest of the crew I care about deeply. They are like an extended family to me, but at the same time I can't tell them the truth that myself and Sashia are first approaching our 1000 years. I know for a fact that every dragon go though the berserker stage which will ether kill the ones they love and care for or it will make then stronger then before". Mike slowly became his dragon form as he began to crush the man body and he then killed the man and threw him away. As the nightmare began to fade, Mike took on his human form once more and he stood there as he said "If I do become nothing more then a monster my friends and family, I want them to kill me to prevent me from harming anyone"

[rusty4297]

Ryan attempted to change his form to pull his head back from the attack, putting more material there to ensure that it did less damage. He was hit, of course, but it did less than intended. He stepped back from the hit, reforming his head to the normal shape he was used to. He began to send more shadow tendrils when he felt the energy of the mind that was attempting to assault his. He glanced around at the others, as he resisted the assault more easily than them due to the energy he didn't know was helping him. He glared at the one who had just begun injuring his allies. "Return them to normal." He would have attacked, but he was busy fending off the assault with the help of his assailant.

[HellHoundWoof]

Prozest watched the nightmares of his victims and grimaced. He himself was caught in his own mind but he had control over his own mind, at least enough to prevent himself from being plunged into his own nightmarish reality. He was falling in a black abyss with a small light below him, he accelerated he felt warm air and the smell of burning wood. He recognized this place and in an instant he was blinded by light then his eyes opened and he was in his tent, the one he was born and raised in in his village. He looked around the canvas tent and knew this was his happy place, he sat alone in the tent a fire in the center with a large hunk of meat in the dangling over the fire. The entrance to the tent opened and Prozest walked out, he saw the orb not far from him and walked to it. He reached his hand out and tapped it with his finger, he felt a surge of energy once again flow through his body then his mind was catapulted back into reality. He saw his opponents, some passed out then there was one standing against the mental onslaught. Prozest took a step towards the man and froze, he looked down at his feet and took another step. He was in control once more, he smiled and began walking slowly to the man. He got within a foot of the man and set his hand out and he touched the mans shoulder, Prozest spoke.

"Soldier," Prozest began "You need not fight, I have been freed of its control."

Prozest took his hand off the mans shoulder and picked up his spear, then he began walking towards the orb. He struck it repeatedly with great force trying to destroy it, each time his spear struck it the spear bounced back and he continued striking it. He could feel its influence dieing, and struck harder and harder.
