I'll do some research on the game if need be, but I'm definitely interested!

"តើគាត់បាននិយាយអ្វី? | What did he say?"
"ខ្ញុំមិនដឹងទេ។ | I don't know."
The twins spoke in unison so much so it seemed their minds were but one powerful entity, albeit a narrow one. Their sights were so set on their current goals that their reason for them was abated. Why were they fighting? They could not remember if they tried, for their power was so immense it overwhelmed them. They had to use them, flaunt them, and project them.
The beast could crawl out and fight its way out of its mysterious shield no problem but instead the monster rolled in place, digging itself down and tunneling itself back to the temple under Thy's command. Slowly but surely an incredibly long and wide underground road led to the heart of the monument which was otherwise impregnable. Cody's decision here should be to make his way inside, and walk to the temple. The ground rumbled violently as the monster dug and dug.
Back on the ship, Gershwin and Caits watched as Cody stopped the giant monster its tracks, unsure if to be impressed by Cody's strength or the monster's - and perhaps the twins' - obvious lack of even trying. Tracking the soldier production in the temples, there was not much activity. Everything was settled and ready for an attack, that it was picturesque and gut-wrenching but nothing was happening. Now was their time to attack. Cody on the ground, Gershwin and Caits from the top. They motioned to move forward. A motification sounded on the aircraft's board and Caits pressed to initiate the call - it was Viccar: "Agent Caits! Make your way to the capital now!"
The country was ruined and devastated, but not all hope was lost yet. The capital of Cambodia stood far south from the the "epicentre" Siem Reap. Phnom Penh was the political centre and therefore the area utmost, most protected, and most valuable. Initial combat was a failure but defenses proved possible when there was strategy and enough firepower from neighbouring countries. Vietnam is just nearby and is likely the next target if Phnom Penh was to fall. Then again, Thailand and Laos to the north are just as vulnerable for the next round of attack but with the way things are playing out, to strike the capital of Cambodia is to strike the hearts of its people.
The sight was impressive. Helicopters flew in and out to cover the perimeter and provide air support to ground military and escort refugees out to Vietnam. The ground was absolutely not safe, and only few soldiers were deployed outside of vehicular coverage. They hit what would reach outside of range for the heavy, slow-moving artillery. It was a miracle that they could even draw breath, knowing that the earth beneath them could just swallow them completely at any time. In the anger and murderous capacity of the twins, there was hubris and ignorance. The humans counted on that.
A heavy rumble started from north of the capital. Everyone moved to ad hoc positions, forming a perimeter at the perfect distance from the political building which stood the Cambodia government and its sacred royal family. The King and Queen stood side by side with its mightiest, bravest, most intelligent and intuitive military generals to fight in the last stand, their most solemn hour: the survival of their people, and their very soul.
Reference; must watch the whole thing.
The beast that Cody had put to a standstill outside of the terraformed Angkor Wat was not the only one of its kind. Hundreds started unburrowing from under the ground, they having tunneled out from a long ways' away. They provided the initial shock and attack absorption as Stone Golems and Stone Soldiers numbered in the *millions* started pouring out of the holes and running towards the centre. Some of the UN's secret projects included mechanized, pilotable robots that would have the manuverability of a man but the firepower of a tank were effectively in thinning out the front, incoming wave, but the problem was there was no wave ; it was an endless stream. The rock beings marched forward without rhyme or reason, all but the overwhelm and devouring everything in their path all the way to the capital.
Any soldiers caught by Stone Soldiers were dragged down into the earth and grounded into a paste. Vehicles too slow to react were either grappled and thrown aside by Stone Golems or crushed by the unstoppable rolling of the Stone Goliaths. Helicopters were getting pelted with incoming debris, and their explosive rockets were just as effective at clearing the march as pouring a glass of water in a forest fire.
The defensive line was loose and its perimeters could be tightened to formed a smaller, more durable circle around the capital, but as expected communication was not getting through some of the destroyed units and the last line was broken. No matter where you looked, they were around you, and no matter how far away you looked beyond them, there was just always more. The army in Angkor Wat was already mind-boggling, but this was realms of impossible numbers. The very Earth was the twins' resource, and they have an infinite supply of it. There was no hubris, no hindsight into their attack. This was meant to shock them into despair and misery.
How could they possibly stop the twins?

Wow I'm sorry it's been 10 days since my last activity with you.
I had to do a bit of spirit cleansing. Everything in my life started to seem so stale that I had to put things into perspective and do other things to make myself remember what it is that I am trying to do. I'm still in that phase so forgive me if I don't seem fully committed to many things right now.
I'll get a post up, and perhaps start up a new RP in my mind soon!

Busy busy? :o
His spoken words for compliance and cooperation were in vain, for Dara's powers did not yet extend to lending any of her senses other than sight to the Stone Soldiers. She watched and tried to read the Light Man's lips but could not decipher the language which was alien to her. With Thy's command, the hanging Stone Soldiers crumbled into rocks and dust, falling to the ground with heavy thuds, and clouding the air until the wind cleared the area again.
Over an up-turned road which now formed a massive steep hill, Thy had ordered a Stone Golem to have his go at the Light Man. Thy with a crinkle to his nose and a flex of his fingers raised the earth around the Golem and pierced into it massive metallic spikes, armouring the beast as well as making it heavy. The momentum it would bring would be monstrous and unstoppable. Its size and mass growing exponentially - were it not for Gershwin's own transformation this would be the biggest Anomalous thing to have exited. Thy soon incorporated the same idea to some of the Golems in the army within the confines of the temple.
"អនុញ្ញាតឱ្យវាដោះស្រាយជាមួយបុរសម្នាក់ពន្លឺ។ យើងនឹងអនុវត្តនៅលើជាមួយនឹងផែនការរបស់យើង។ | Let it deal with the Light Man. We will carry on with our plan." The twins spoke to each other in unison.
The monster, now the size of a building, taller than the very hill that was covering it, stood on its hind legs and slammed down to destroy the hill and to clear its path. Rubble blew outwards from the massive explosive impact, and the monster tucked its legs into itself and rolled forwards - the likes of a massive boulder crushing everything in its paths, obstructions easily broken and ignored, its spikes digging up the earth and flailing it towards its rolling direction.
Reference; watch the whole thing for an idea of what Cody is about to deal with
Its speed was impressive, and it rolled with no intention of stopping, picking up and flinging earth with its spikes to the open air, some heading towards the plane that Gershwin and Caits were in. In the cockpit's view, a piece of earth with piping and cables was shot towards the plane at high speeds. Gershwin could only scream as Caits flew them out of the way. The two had no business there, and there was still an army they had to deal with.
"What's the plan for us?"

Sorry that I haven't been able to post in a while; work and dance got the best of me! I'll be posting soon, around tomorrow!
This is not to be taken as offense to you, but I really should think of either starting up another post or joining another RP so that I can get my fix on writing more hahaha!
You have over 20, I just have this. You are mind-boggling!

Dara saw through the Stone Soldiers' eyes as their world was flipped upside-down. The details weren't clear but she could definitely see his glowing tendrils working out from around him, and knew that this man was a phenomenal being, someone a lot like them. Dara shared the vision with Thy while he was still focusing on his giant army.
"គាត់ជាដូចជាពួកយើង។ | He's like us."
"គាត់មិនមែនជាពួកយើង។ | He's not us."
"តើយើងត្រូវធ្វើដូចម្ដេច? | What shall we do?"
"តើគាត់នឹងធ្វើយ៉ាងណា? | What shall he do?"
"គាត់នាំយកមក។? | Bring him in?"
"កំទេចគាត់ | Crush him."
It was an odd conversation, almost hazy and controlled - unlike their usual mannerisms, unlike their usual selves.
The Stone Soldiers entrapped in the tendrils were struggling, trying to wrestle free from the vices of a luminescent kind but now by command, they froze. Unmoving was they except for their heads which followed Cody wherever and however he went. A rumbling could be felt through the earth, a sensation so light only Cody could perhaps sense it before it happens. But even he will have to be quick with what happens next.
The first hand sprouted out fast and grabbed onto Cody's arm. The next one was coming. Underneath the ground, hundreds more. Shards of earth shot out from the ground, about to pierce Cody's torso.

Alright, I want to see what Cody will (have to) do in this situation:
Cody will be able to feel it, perhaps, since Thy's powers are a sort of sense with the earth, so in this case, there will be arms and hands crawling out and reaching for Cody to drag him in.
In normal situations, anyone who is dragged in gets crushed with the earth, like a mortar and pestle (or muddler, however you call it) The grip is phenomenal.
I'll write this in the post, and we'll see what happens.
