The Marauders

Rereading all we've wrote so far is really fun! I know I've already said this, but you guys are really freaking great writers! This story has me on the edge of my seat! I'm glad to be writing with you guys!

The Marauders

@Akayaofthemoon

Your day was clearly more eventful and productive than mine haha... all I did was hear Stallone yell "AAADDDRRRIIIAAANNNNN!!!" for a few hours

The Marauders

Hahaha it was a very quiet day on the forum, I had a Rocky movie marathon all day after seeing the new Creed movie haha

The Marauders

Although there was a sense of tension and chaos, the Marauders were like a high operating machine. Everyone had their part to play, everyone was important to this crew, without one, the rest of them would fall...When his suit was fully off he made his way towards a console in the main deck that showed the status of the Monroe. His head throbbed from the little show out in the debris fields, and the scene he saw was still fresh in his mind. It had been a while since he's seen his mother in his head like that. It was a strange feeling, and an even stranger when when he came to and Rae was staring at him with worry. She always had a calmness to her, especially during injuries... But then again Raymond was never unconscious, floating aimlessly in space before. He was grateful she was there.

Addy entertained a highly stressed crew with her response to Raymond's sit rep, which made a faint smile spread on Ray's lips. "Glad to see your dream of becoming a radio talk show host hasn't died, Addy. And Thank you Tango for censoring her colorful language." Raymond replied, examining the screen. Meghan was doing a good job of protecting the ship from enemies. The explosion did minor damage to the ship, and from the looks of it Elyse found the mystery man and held him in an airlock.

Addy was on her way to help Elyse. "Monroe be advised we have an unknown target onboard the ship. The medic bay is the safest location, so if anything were to go wrong, lock yourself in there." Raymond played the message to everyone's personal comm system so the mystery man couldn't hear. You could never be too careful.

"One minute and twenty seconds until warp, Captain." Tango said calmly. Raymond left the console and looked out the large glass window and into the cosmos. Debris was everywhere, and from what he remembered the ship looking like, it was their biggest they've seen. Was it their commanding officer's vessel?

"Captain, the enemy seemed to have ceased fire." Tango said. Raymond raised an eyebrow. "They haven't stopped shooting at us ever since they've been tracking us..." Raymond murmured, looking at the scene before them. "Meghan hold your fire but don't put your guard down. something's not right--"

"Incoming message."

"Incoming message? From who?" Raymond walked to Tango's physical form in front of the ship controls. The message started to play, and it was nothing but squeaks and snarls, which made Raymond tilt his head. "I don't suppose you know how to speak naked mole rat?" Raymond asked the robot casually. "You mean Sekvali? They are saying that you have killed their commander, and are now not holding back on attacks. They say they will leave us alone if we turn in the human responsible for exploding his ship." Raymond leaned on the table and Tango's chair, tapping his finger lightly.

"How much longer until we can get the hell out of here?" Raymond asked calmly, glancing back and forth between the controls and the enemy ships. "Forty five more seconds... Uh oh."

"What? What's 'uh oh'?" Raymond demanded.

"Heat signatures are picking up their main cannons. All five ships aiming at the hull!"

"Shit. Meghan get ready! Tango move the stabilization fields towards the med bay and airlock four where Addy and Elyse are!" Raymond tapped his ear, climbing into the Captain's seat. He was now taking control of the Monroe. "Monroe I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that their commanding officer blew up on that ship earlier. Bad news is is that the remaining enemy ships are giving us everything we've got. I'll keep us safe, but it'll be a bumpy ride. The stabilizers will keep the doctors from moving around." Raymond said through the ship intercom.

"Incoming fire!" Tango yelled. Raymond pressed buttons, and in that instant the Monroe's engines sprang into full power, moving sharply to the right, barely missing missiles from the enemy ships. "Alright, you wanna dance? Lets dance." Ray muttered to himself, pushing the throttle forward, activating the defense guns. With these and Meghan's shooting skills, they could absolutely survive the worst they throw at the Monroe for thirty more seconds.

@Kaalee

If Addy goes down there, may God have mercy on their souls hahahaha

The Marauders

@Akayaofthemoon

I know, but since Ray is captain and all and Elyse has an intruder inside the airlock, I'm thinking that he should most likely be there hahaha

The Marauders

I'm gonna try and get a post up soon, but idk if I want Raymond to interact with Elyse and Pip right at the moment though... hmm...I can probably think of something haha

The Mightiest Reborn

Atlas

Eli should have been overjoyed by the sight of people willing to help. He should have felt a bit more comfort tackling on these creatures now that it was three on two... But one of them had what looked like dried blood on her hands, a skull painted on her face, and the comments she made made him a bit uneasy... But the way she stood, and laughed at danger sparked yet another form of familiarity in his mind, but this one wasn't the same as seeing The Sphinx... The second woman appeared almost instantly, which caused Eli to glance over at her with his golden eyes. Her comment made a small laugh escape his throat, grasping his sword a bit harder. "Help would be much appreciated." Eli admitted. This woman didn't look as menacing as her friend. She had the frame of a gymnast, and the looks of an angel, but those thoughts soon left when he heard the growls of the beasts. A giant Crocodile man and a winged lion-man against three rather interesting people...What was the worst that could happen?

With a small nod towards the other two, and they charged to attack. The boulder hit the Sphinx, but the winged creature simply swiped away and gave a snarl. As the dark haired woman pounced at the crocodile man with blinding speed, the Sphinx followed after her. Eli ran and charged at the beast, and with very little thought in a plan he opened his arms to tackle it. The Sphinx was much larger, and seemed much stronger than Eli, but to his surprise both him and the winged creature fell sideways, away from his two allies.

The Sphinx was not happy. It did its best to try and claw at Eli, its serpent tail trying to snap at Eli's legs but he managed to kick it away. The figures tumbled hard on the road, and the Sphinx easily kicked Eli off, sending him to the air again. The golden eyed man fell hard on his stomach behind a car, and desperately trying to stand up. When he looked up he saw the Sphinx flying right towards him at a blinding speed.

Instincts kicked in. Eli managed to sidestep, twirling around in a full circle before bringing his sword down at the place where the Sphinx was. A screech louder than anything he's ever heard filled the air. On the floor a serpent's head twitched and hissed evilly, the Sphinx looked at the place where its tail once was, golden blood escaping from the wound.

Eli started to run back towards the crocodile man and the two allies, he had a feeling the Sphinx was right behind him. In a desperate (and stupid) effort, Eli dove in between the crocodile man's legs, skidding on the asphalt, and turning back to see what his situation was. The Sphinx crashed into the crocodile, both falling over and screaming in rage. Eli continued to back up until he could stand again, and by that time the crocodile had lifted a rusting car, and threw it at the three humans.

But Eli went forward, and brace himself, his hands out as if he could catch the item flying towards them... Confusion hit everyone, including the monsters, when Eli actually had successfully caught the car. The weight of his car made him skid backwards, still on his feet. His arms felt extremely weak, but he had a feeling he's lifted much worse. His golden eyes glared at the monsters, all his pain and anger went through him again, and in a mighty scream he threw the car right back at them.

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

"Don't look too surprised, Anderson." Robert said, returning the nudge to her arm. "I was never known for following the rules. Spend one minute with MY old man and he'll tell you all about it." Robert said the last part with a little hint of aggression towards his father. He never liked the man, and especially didn't like how he sold out his own son to keep him from doing the right thing. But he had no intention of talking about his father to Marian. When she started to laugh his heart started to melt, but covered the fact pretty well. He smiled and started to take a sip of his beer, listening to Marian about to list off things she's hasn't done... But he nearly choked on his beverage when he heard the voice of the Governor himself.

Robert met the man a few times when he worked in the law firm long ago, he liked his dad, and would send meaningless Christmas cards every year to them (often getting Robert's name wrong). The governor wore casual clothes, but still looked very wealthy, and very powerful. His eyes were stone gray, his hair was a dark salt and pepper look, and he had broad shoulders. He wore a Yankees t-shirt, a very expensive watch, and he was sure his very expensive wallet was in his jeans... His attention turned back to Marian when she looked at him with her blue eyes. He gave a quick glance of where the Governor was. A VIP section, shocker. He was sitting with what he assumed was his family, and his body guard friends. A small smirk escaped his lips. He was afraid of getting a certain visit by a certain thief?

He could very easily get by those baboons. He could find a disguise, find an excuse to get in, and take a lot of information and goodies.. But if he did that, the Governor will probably shut down the game if he figured out his items were missing. It would ruin Marian's very first live baseball game... He couldn't do that to her. She meant everything to him, even if the feelings weren't mutual.

His gaze was already focused on Marian again, and as she listed the items, he nodded at each one, a smirk on his face. She just might be the most adorable and amazing woman on the planet. He would absolutely keep those things in mind. But the last comment made him raise an eyebrow. "You might have just scared the dude off. Ice cream in the park is like a fifth not-date step." Robert said jokingly.

He wasn't expecting her to ask him the question. He gave a grin, and leaned back in the chair, thinking. "Well lets see... I have never left the state of New York, I have never been to one of those Jazz clubs in Harlem, and... I've never seen the Statue of Liberty up close." Robert confessed, a bit hesitant. These weren't huge jaw dropping secrets, but he was a bit cautious about this stuff. He's spent years keeping things a secret, and now he was back in the social world. He wasn't just Robin Hood anymore, and he definitely wasn't the old Robert Locksley everyone knew.
