Perry charged forward at Ant's command, blinded by his adrenaline. He could see Aester's pendulums swinging, preparing for another shockwave; Ant knew now how this one operated. He was planning on using most of Perry's remaining energy to attempt a leap above, back to the surface, where he had the advantage; but his plans were cut short by the massive boulder crashing down behind him. It was another close call... if Perry was only half a second behind, both the mech along with Ant would have very likely been crushed to oblivion. But even worse was the thunderous, powerful THUD that followed; not the kind of clumsy thud Perry had made when it tripped and fell under, but the kind of thud made by the landing of two feet... only much, much heavier.

Ant didn't even bother looking back, knowing that if he lost speed now he would be done for. He was thankful that Perry's legs were still near peak operation. That was all he really had going for him down here, especially with having only one of his pistols and no traps set below. He kept his eyes above; but saw with Aester's pendulums swinging even faster, and the ground shaking above him, she actually was going to send them all to Hell. So much for seeing the light again, Ant thought, as Perry 'holstered' its one remaining gun. He was nearing the two stationary mechs, first, and he needed to act fast. The big one going for its rifle? Or the... even bigger one with the freaking sword as big as Perry? What Ant was about to do was probably the last thing he should do, but he knew what was coming with Aester's lack of subtlety, and needed to act impromptu if he had any chance of surviving another downward, impending tumble.

Perry leaped forward just as Sigma Comet was in the process of reloading. With his remaining functional arm, Perry clutched around the unassuming mech as they collided, hoping Perry's momentum and the collapse to follow would be enough to bring them down... with Comet as his cushion.

Demon Swords or Escaped Experiments Ideas

Seems to me that the majority of interest lies in the demon blades. Count me on board if you go with this route; though I am equally partial to either of the ideas you've proposed.

@GreenGoatI made sure to ruin your meditative moment

EDIT: give the linked album in my latest IC a minute to "kick in", and you'll get a very good sense of Antwon's mental state.

End of Days RP (EoD - Mass Effect/Evangelion Inspired)

It was a truly, truly, glorious sight for Ant to behold. His eyes welled with tears in pure joy: the flames, the dust, the carnage he created... it was a pure work of art.

He only assumed that his mines were compromised from their lack of earlier activation, but it was all the more perfect that they triggered right on his moment of attack; it was one hell of a fireworks display, and for those still out of the fight, it would certainly indicate the center of action. Smart enough to keep moving, Ant chuckled to himself, feeling completely unstoppable. Upon Ant's request, his cockpit contained a speaker system that would rival only the greatest of concerts; he took it upon himself to put his comm system on Speaker Mode, so as everyone could enjoy his taste in music.

Ant spoke loudly on the intercomm as well, so as to make certain everyone could hear: "Hello, hello, hello! Welcome, everyone, to Antwon's little corner of Hell! As you have probably witnessed, I have made this modest arena my home! And it has made some lovely work with the majority of you. As for those of you hiding about; surrender now, and I'll be certain to consider your request upo--"

!!!

Aester's stake pierced straight through the ground, heading straight in Ant's direction; from beneath him, no less. Perry clumsily side-stepped, only missing the stake by a margin; Ant could even see the stake in crisp detail as it passed beyond Perry's peripheral, noting that it would have pierced right through him (him, mind you, not just Perry) if he didn't flinch out of the way. It was most definitely a wake up call for the presumptuous boy, but it wasn't enough to prevent Perry's halted speed and off-kilter footing... or the unassumed shockwave to follow.

Perry fell to the ground with a harsh THUD, followed shortly by the ground he was standing on collapsing in on itself. Ant was able to foresee the collapse, managing to have Perry perform an impromptu backward roll to attempt a speedy recovery upon crashing down into the supply route. However, it was only so effective; Perry rolled, but the external damage was still quite significant. Perry's left side took most of the brunt of damage, with the side's arm practically hanging off of it, and the pistol along with it was lost in the rubble. His torso was crushed into itself as well, leaving a moderate target on his left side for finishing the job.

Ant shook his head, which was now pounding from the tumble. He looked forward... much to his dismay, seeing three mechs in close proximity; and seemingly on friendly terms. Ahhhhhh, shit, Ant mumbled under his breath. He was slightly relieved to see the two of them in a clear state of disarray... but then he saw Korie and her framewerk, Aester, not far off ahead. Looking straight in his direction.

Only moments ago, Ant was in the clouds, and now, this... this, thing, took every step it could to ruin the little moments of happiness he had. The familiar scowl returned to Ant's face, only all the more intent. Ant turned up his speakers; all the while, having Perry face straight towards his nemesis. "You think you can hit me!?!?!?" Ant screamed through his intercomm. He was feeling it now; his blood was pumping, his heart racing. He was in the zone. "You think I'll let anyone hurt me!?!?!?"

And then, he charged forward. Still quite a formidable haste, straight towards the lot of them. But they were not his target...

@Tancuras b-b-b-but it's corrosive negligible damage (though you fell down anyway, so there. Yeah! Take that!).

EDIT: srs tho I'm just messing with you; don't futz about the 'damage', it would actually be negligible for high armor anyway (unless I was shooting at you for like five minutes straight with any semblance of accuracy).

Wow, how ironic. Double whammy from Antwon... LOL

@Gnar The Missing Link

Ant pulls low blows as well

EDIT: oh geez, I guess I posted right on time to screw everything up for the rest of the group. Was I wrong in thinking that the whole lot of them (the four before Korie shows up) were in the same general cluster?

EDIT2: I guess that means the two that fell underground evaded the hellfire.

End of Days RP (EoD - Mass Effect/Evangelion Inspired)

Before the battle even officially begun, two mechs were already destroying one another right out of the fight; and, much to Ant's glee, they just happened to be Anubis and Atty. Ant whooped loudly in his cockpit, having enjoyed watching the spectacle from a longer distance, in his own submerged corner of boulders and a stagnant basin. Hah! Looks like they couldn't wait to destroy each other. All the better for me, Ant thought. And yet, he couldn't help but admire what he saw. The pilots were beginning to prove more formidable than Ant first anticipated, with Serah, Sigma, and Elora's coordination, alongside Ian's sheer willpower.

In fact, the feeling was growing even moreso for those remaining. His only worries that remained were the larger, slower mechs; however, Ant was beginning to realize that they did come with their own, in not bigger, challenges. While slower in movement and action, they certainly hit harder than their faster counterparts (as the opposite effects in both cases applied with Perry, as well). Many of these mechs could crush him with as much as two blows if he didn't see it coming, a few of them in even one if they hit him just right. But Ant was confident (perhaps overly so) that his unmatched speed would be enough to dodge most attacks.

He would certainly have a handful if he attempted dealing with Elora and Sigma on his own, as they made quick work of Ian in a flashy blaze; they were clearly working together. Sigma might have been more robot than human in Ant's mind, but it was very clear that she was not a mind to trifle with, having made an early (and evidently effective) alliance with one of the most useful pilots for her needs.

His true worries lied in the three mechs Ant couldn't account for having seen yet on the battlefield; Zan's, Korie's, and... the girl dressed like an idol. She was so reclusive that she didn't even share her name. He knew it was wise for them to wait it out; but he also knew it was cowardly. After a moment of indecisiveness, Ant resolved to make his move. He no longer cared about the strategic benefits of waiting it out; he was beginning to grow restless and, motivated by his peers, wanted to show the rest of them just what damage he could do. If they aren't going to come to me, I'll just have to reel them in myself, Ant concluded. But he knew he needed an in. He would be out of the fight in a moment without a distraction...

...and just like that, it seemed two of them slipped out of hiding to tackle the imposing sniper-spotter duo. One mech made what looked to Ant like a massive energy blast right towards the spotter, which managed to fend to itself quite surprisingly and, to Ant's even greater astonishment, actually charged the source of the imposing blast. A wide smile grew on Ant's face. I may have been wrong about you, little mouse, Ant thought. Then Ant caught a glimpse of the large, tank-like abomination, charging straight for the sniper.

Ant's smile grew even wider; they were all convening in a large mass for him; he didn't even have to do any work. Well then, there isn't a better moment than the present, Ant yelled with a great laugh; all the while, Perry was positioning itself in its Sprinter stance, its thrusters revving even louder than before. His laughing grew louder, but it was a pleasant, happy laughter; he was actually having fun, for once. Regaining his composure, his smile turned into a cheek to cheek grin: he rowed forward with his arms, pushing forward with all his might.

And with that, Perry dashed forward with transendent speed, leaving a massive gust of dirt in his wake, heading straight into the current thick of battle. He was quite pleased to see them all pre-occupied with one another. Without much of a warning on Ant's end, Ant appeared swiftly in suitable range. At a safe distance, he shifted his sprint to face them parallel opposed to straight ahead. Perry gave them a mock salute while still running. "Hey guys!" Ant exclaimed sarcastically over his intercomm; he proceeded to pull out his pistols, aiming in all four's general vicinity. They were inaccurate, of course; but without doubt, the results would be hellfire.

Perry began its barrage.

"Broken Souls" - Zombie Survival (Closed)

@SwarthyBard126
I think here on for a bit you can take actions for the both of us, at least until we run into another character in this apartment building (which is what I'm assuming is going on here, since it seems everybody else is currently holed up in differing apartments).

"Broken Souls" - Zombie Survival (Closed)

Grasping the outreached hand, Anthony was careful not to pull to hardly on the boy's hand, and scrambled out of the sewer grate. Quickly repositioning the man-hole over the entrance, Anthony found a printer sized piece of rubble, and placed it on the man-hole.

And he seemed to block it off just in time, as Bobby was startled by the shift of the rubble from the remaining Raiders below. He could hear them snarling and scratching like crazed animals. But soon enough they subsided, having to suffice scrounging for rodents or whatever else they ate (beyond other humans, that is).

Bobby took a moment to gaze around him. The abandoned buildings weren't much to look at, but the lack of zombies or cannibals was certainly a sight for sore eyes. Far greater, however, was the sight above. Without the light pollution that plagued New York before the outbreak, the night sky actually glittered with stars. It was eerily peaceful. Despite all the chaos that has since unfolded, it has made the little qualities of life all the more appreciated for Bobby.

Last, he noticed his breath; he could actually see it. Only now was Bobby reminded with a cool breeze that the seasons were indeed changing; and he certainly wasn't prepared for it, dressed in what was essentially waste-covered rags. He shivered, noting that he didn't even have shoes.

Not willing to take a chance, he motioned for Bobby to follow as he jogged to a fire escape. The ladder was about 5 feet off the ground, and so Anthony crouched down and cupped his hands under it waiting for Bobby.

Bobby found himself caught again in his own thoughts, and rushed over to Anthony. No more time for meandering, Bobby thought to himself, having another person waiting. Especially now that we're above ground. Bobby used Tony's leverage, practically throwing him up to the ladder, catching Bobby by surprise. Bobby rushed to the next ledge, waiting for Anthony. "I... I think from here on you should lead the way...", Bobby said with hesitation, not very privy to the outside world.
