▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ | AARON “ZEPHYR” NYLES — STEELWATER [Landing/Battlefield] — 10:00 AM — @Prisk@Archangel89 War was never something that he would get used to. The absolute chaos and destruction of it was something that he absolutely abhorred which is why he did not stay in WarDiv. As the transport delivered his crew and him through this wasteland he couldn’t help but somewhat marvel at the well-blanketed precision of the World Eaters. A veritable cornucopia of fire and devastation that covered all that the eye could see, if one was a psychopath one might even see a beauty in it. As conversations were had around him Aaron focused himself for the mission ahead a light breeze laced with visible static flowed around him as his focus carried him into a state of zen-like nothingness. As the LZ came up the pilot mentioned something to Gar and she stood up and prepared herself for drop. As he gathered himself up to follow in suit he realized that they were still significantly high up in the air and she was going to do one of her famous drops into the Hot Zone, an exasperated sigh escaped him as rubbed the bridge of his nose in amused derision. As she was about to take her first step off he couldn’t help but get in her ear and yell out, ”DON’T FORGET THE SUPERHERO LANDING!!!” As he watched her soar down and land with a sickening thud and proceed to lay waste to all unnatural creation he couldn’t help but think to himself, ’Heh, show off. Can’t let her be the only one to do something cool! He turned with his back to the open door and peered over his comrades as he gave them a sarcastic salute then fell backwards out of the transport. The sounds of rushing wind past his ears was the most at peace he had been in quite some time. There was nothing in him, around him and for those few seconds he was truly at peace with all of existence, even the muties underneath him didn’t matter. Peace has a way of ending just as you get to enjoy it. On instinct he twisted his body into a normal crouching position as just before he hit the ground a the air under his feet created a solid landing point. As time slowed to a crawl he was able to line six or seven creatures in a zig zagged pattern that he would capitalize on. Lightning surged around him as he kicked off the solid air as he sailed through the air, dodging bullets, biological attacks and other people and quickly drew his lightning infused blade and effortlessly sliced through his first target. As he replaced the blade to its sheath he dashed in a flash and dispatched yet another. This cycle of slice, replace and repeat continued as he tore through his prey with ease until he stood behind the last of his initial targets. As they fell lifeless to the bloodstained ground Aaron finally stood up and survived his surroundings. The mutated creatures were harmless enough, easy to dispatch which made Aeon’s like him were going to have an easy time with these things although swarming was a distinct issue here. As more started to surround him Aaron quickly dropped into his stance and gathered both the wind and lightning into his blade as he quickly drew his sword unleashing a flashy arc of electrical energy knocking out another three to five in a stroke. This was far too easy. These things were too simple of an enemy to be here on their own, something else had to be there out in the inky black of the battlefield. Deciding to keep Gauda as a center, Zephyr dashed around several meters in all directions and got a surveillance of their drop. In the distance the World Eaters continued their bombardment as the immediate field was heavily inhabited by foot soldiers from either side. As Leviathan and Garuda continued their onslaught Aaron continued his effortless killing of these muties a small handful at a time. As he made his way back to the makeshift killing floor center Aaron put his back to Gar and called through the haze of death, ”Boss, this is too easy. Surely there’s something more than this? We need to move and EVAC as soon as possible otherwise were going to get overwhelmed pretty quickly.” |
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ | AARON “ZEPHYR” NYLES — UDF: CETRA EAST COMMAND [Briefing Room] — Day 1 - 05:00AM — @Prisk@Salsa Verde@Rockette Aaron never really liked dealing with the Warfare Unit too much. They were all too strict and rule driven, save for Garuda, he couldn’t stand the lot of them. As he let out an exaggerated yawn scratching the back of his head he could see the rest of S.W.A.R.G. lining up in true military fashion. As the general went through his long and exhausting briefing, most of which he knew since he gathered a great deal of this info, Aaron paid little mind to most of the info presented and focused more on the people gathered. While he had met most of the Group in previous scenarios he never truly paid any mind to most. As he lazily turned to look at the general he couldn’t help but break him down as he prattled on. McMahon looked like what you would expect a five-star general to look like, grizzled face, hardened exterior, absolutely no personality, a regular snooze fest. He almost did in fact doze off until he heard the words, "Benjamin Regardie, code name 'Bahamut'." It took him a minute to piece it all together but as he rather blatantly stepped out of formation and looked down the line and saw the look of pure and total embarrassment on Garuda’s face, the lightbulb went off, "BWAHAHAHHAHHAHHA, HAHAHAHAHHHAHAA, HEHEEHEEHHHEHEHHE!!" Aaron knew that he would later regret this spontaneous outburst later down the line but in the moment he couldn’t help but let out the uproarious laughter that echoed throughout the hanger. He heard the general and Gar attempt to hash things out but he was no longer listening as he walked off to get himself geared up. ~ It took Aaron several minutes to finally calm himself from his laughing fit as he got himself out of that tacky digital camo and into his usual IntDiv attire. As he strapped his Nakamasa to his hip he turned his head and and saw Emilia talking to some others and couldn’t help but go and give Lange some good natured ribbing, "So, Gar…is this mission just another story of lovers coming together after a spat, or are you really done with him? I mean, I’ve worked with Hamu a time or two and he can be a real pain in the neck huh?" |
