Metatrooper

Defenders of Cinix (A fun crossover) [Accepting]

@Raptra
Hey, I've been meaning to ask you something, I've been getting busier lately because of school and feel like swapping out Meta Knight for another character, is that ok with you or will it muck the plot too much?

As soon as the platoon disembarked, a defensive perimeter was formed around the rooftop to clear any infected that might be left. Colt then met up with Sgt. Burke, the squad leader of the HAM Troopers.

Colt: Sergeant Burke, you and your squad will be assigned to primary reconnaissance, scout out the city and report back to the rendezvous point immediately.

Burke: Alright sir, we'll do the job for ya.

Burke then turned around to address the rest of his squad.

Burke: Squad! Move into formation Beta-1 and move out!

As the HAMs received their sergeant's message on the coms, they immediately started moving, three of them grouped up and jumped away from the building, falling through the air before activating their jetpacks and flying away. One other trooper then joined up with Burke and went the opposite direction. All five of them ultimately dissapeared after a few seconds as Colt and the Assault Troopers prepared for their recon op. About 4 of the troopers started setting up gun emplacements and barricades around the rooftop, fortifying it against whatever infected that would show their ugly faces there.

Heavy plasma repeater


Suddenly, the troopers' helmet sensors detected something coming up the stairs. In an instant, they formed a position around the door, with guns at the ready. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing a seemingly non-infected human carrying a sniper rifle. Some of the troopers lowered their blasters and others kept the barrel of their rifle trained on the man and the doorway. Colt would lower his own firearm before asking.

Colt: Who are you, a survivor? Are there more of you?

Not long after Colt asked, another entity appeared from the doorway. His arrival promoted all of them to aim their guns again, now facing a new non-human creature. It looked odd enough with its grotesque appearance and weird clothing, but it did not seem like the rest of the infected. The creature then spoke, albeit weirdly, to which Colt replied.

Colt: Yes, we are. Now identify yourself. Are you infected?

Meta stood there staring at her, unmoving. What happened next surprised him though, as she teleported her can of beer onto a nearby desk.

Perhaps she is something supernatural indeed.

As she talks about the drink, Meta quietly gazes as it, before looking back at her and maintaining his stern expression. He attentively listens to her speak, remaining unmoving but analyzing every word she says, because he knows that there is perhaps something much more sinister behind her.

He is then caught off guard as the Tempest started shaking violently, knocking him down to the floor. He looked around the room before rushing to the terminal and seeing that the ship had somehow managed to change course mid-hyperspace jump.

This just happened.

This couldn't have happened.

But it did.

He slowly craned his head around, staring at Fanny through the dark visor of his helmet. Meta was then struck with a sense of fear and paranoia, as there was no doubt that she was the one responsible for this. Remembering her previous demands, he walked over to her, stopping right in front of her. He stared at her for a few seconds before slipping both of his hands to the side of his helmet. A hissing sound could then be heard as his suit depressurized and unlocked itself, disconnecting from the suit as well. He slowly raised both of his hands, moving his helmet up and eventually revealing his face to her. Hebplaced his helmet under his left arm and had a completely blank expression on his face, seemingly unfazed by what had just happened, despite what he really felt.

He then felt the ship shake again, although this time he did not fall to the floor and maintained his composure. He turned and moved to the terminal again, indicating that they had emerged from hyperspace, and they were orbiting another unknown planet with several heavily armed ships accompanying them in orbit. The ships didn't look like any he'd seen before, but they were heavily armed and shielded, and didn't seem to be doing anything either, other than waiting for something perhaps. Meta then received the automated message from the so-called Quatis, asking him for his identification and intentions. He then sent a reply back to the Quatis fleet.

Meta: This is Meta of the Tempest, my ship is heavily damaged and in need of repairs. I am not hostile and was just passing through the system when my course was suddenly altered.

After sending the message, Meta moved to the counter where the beer was located and grabbed it, examining the cover while walking back over to Fanny. He switched gazed between Fanny and the can before opening it and taking a sip.

Meta: God, this tastes terrible.

Gunships A-2, A-6, and A-7 of Nexu Company flew through the green mist of the
planet. As they cruised through the sky, Colt tuned into the squad coms and began speaking.

Colt: Alright boys, sensors indicate heavy containment in the air, so whatever you do, don't take your bucket off, it'll be the end of you.

Trooper: What exactly is in the air sir?

Colt: Seems to be a kind of fungal spore, none I've ever seen before.

As the gunships descended, they could then gain visual of the welcoming committee waiting for them down below. Dozens, maybe hundreds of humanoid creatures were gathering below them, seemingly attracted by the sound of the PATG's engines.

Pilot: You guys might want to see this...

The pilot said as he displayed the video captured by the gunship's sensors on a monitor inside the cabin, as the other pilots do the same.

HAM Trooper: Holy shit...

The troopers gaze at the screen, processing what was happening on the ground. They could see the infected clamouring over each other as the brute released a loud and nerve-wracking roar before knocking away the smaller infected. Something about the things below told the troopers they weren't particularly friendly. Colt regained his focus quickly and tapped into the pilot's com.

Colt: Too many hostiles, better clear them out before landing.

Pilot: Affirmative sir, right away.

The pilot then contacts the pilot of the other two craft.

A-2 Pilot: A-6 and A-7 this is A-2, command is requesting we clear the ground, so let's give'em a show.

A-6 Pilot: On it boss!

A-7 Pilot: Let's rock.

The three gunships immediately split from the single file formation they were previously in and started to form a perimeter around the mob of infected. They suddenly stopped and hovered in place, before their ball turrets started tracking their new targets. After a few seconds the three PATGs opened fire on the mob as blue plasma bolts streaked through the air and seared the zombies, eliminating them. Missiles were also fired from the launcher on top of the craft, that left a cloudy trail behind them as they zipped towards their target, creating an explosion which wiped out infected and buildings alike. After 45 seconds or so of constant plasma and missile fire, most of the infected where wiped out, what few survived retreated and went into hiding.

The gunships then proceeded to land on a large rooftop on a relatively tall building, the three opened their cargo doors as the occupants took up firing positions, ready to clear out the rooftop if necessary. They then slowly disembarked from the ships, making sure the sector was clear and devoid of any potential threats. After the PATGs had unloaded their total cargo of 16 Republic Assault Troopers, 5 HAM Troopers, and one ACA Trooper, they started ascending, closing the cargo bay doors and heading off to their waiting area.

A-2 Pilot: Just call us if you need evac, we'll be ready for you.

Now the platoon was tasked with reconnaissance of the area, looking for any potential survivors and evading any large numbers of infected.

Trios

@Zyngard

Right after pulling her up, he moved again to try and catch her fall, but she quickly recovered right after. He then pulled himself up, before watching her place a hand on her wound and make it seemingly dissapear.

So, she knows healing magic?

He looked around as he listened to her question, turning back to her as she described the person she was looking for.

Kaldalis: I can't say that I have, Kura. Where are your parents by the way? Did you come here alone?

Kaldalis wondered if she really did come to Trios without any adults supervising her, if so, then leaving her here would be quite dangerous. He entertained the notion of accompanying her as her guardian for a bit as he waited for a reply.

Trios

Kaldalis was slipping in the final pieces of his armor as the ship docked. He had slept quite a long time in his quarters as he had boarded the ship right after wandering through a forest for one week straight, and was quite exhausted when he arrived. Trios was the next location on his journey, he had heard tales about it, mostly revolving around the gold mines present there, and wanted to pay a visit.

He stood up from his bed, now encased in his steel gray armor. He grabbed his cloak from the rack and attached it to his armor, securing it, before moving to his belongings and checking if everything was accounted for. He then made his way out of his quarters, passing by the lounge a quietly observing what patrons are left before moving to the deck. He sees the commotion and decides to move towards it, before peering over to see the few people surrounding an unconscious man and a woman. He thinks to himself:

I must have missed quite a bit while I was asleep

He then proceeds to depart from the ship and makes his way to the docks, scanning the new environment around him. He then hears something land on the ground beside him, he turns around and sees what appears to be a little girl facedown on the ground. He kneels down and raises the girl, helping her recover before asking:

Kaldalis: Are you alright miss?

Kaldalis Vau

Name: Kaldalis Vau

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Appearance:


---

Abilities: Kaldalis is an expert in swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat, having trained since his early years. He is also adept in using other weapons, such as spears, axes, daggers, staffs and bows, although his skill in using these is still lower than his skill with a blade and his fists.

---

Special weaknesses: Kaldalis' most notable weakness is his inability to use magic, he was born without any affinity to magic at all and cannot use any form of it. He can however, use items imbued with magic themselves. He also sometimes puts himself and his enemy on equal ground, rather than taking advantage due to his code of honor.

---

Weapons:
Kuy'val dar: The Kuy'val dar is a sword, made out of an incredibly durable and relatively light metal. It was forged by his uncle, one of the most skilled blacksmiths in Concordia, and given to him. The sword is extremely durable, due to the nature of the metal used to build it, and as light as most swords if its type. He keeps it in a sheath on the left side of the body when not in use.

---

Items:
Dimensional Cloak: The Dimensional Cloak is a blue cape which is his family's heirloom, which he took when he began his journey outside of his nation. The cloak is capable of short-ditance teleporting to any location within his line of sight, although it has a cooldown of 3-10 minutes. He accomplishes this by wrapping the cloak around himself, which then warps him to the location of his desire, he can also transport others if they are covered by his cape as well.

Armor: Kaldalis' suit of armor protects him from many types of attacks, it is effective against kinetic attacks and can block arrows if they strike the appropriate parts of his armor. His armor, however, has several weak points, such as the armpit area and the areas between the plates of metal.

Money Satchel: A leather satchel where he stores his currency in, wether it be coins, gems or other forms.

Healing potions: He carries around 5 small potions containing a red liquid, which can cure minor and some moderate wounds when ingested.

Water bottle: A glass bottle used to store drinking water.

Food: A small leather container which contains a few loaves of garlic bread wrapped in paper.

Knife: A small knife to use in tasks where his sword can't be used in.

Journal: A leather-bound journal with a pencil attached to it through a piece of string, used for taking notes.

These items are carried in his utility belt or inside his cloak, depending on the size and use of said item.

---

Backstory: Born in a remote archipelago nation named Concordia, Kaldalis was raised from birth to be a warrior as his culture dictates. He grew up training with his father, relatives, or any other trusted person that could train him in combat or survival. Once he reached the age of 15, he set off on a journey, to wander the world beyond Concordia and to experience and learn more. As he wandered across the world, he learned more about many different things and aspects of life previously unknown to him. He also protected villages that he stumbled upon from local bandit or creature attacks, eventually gaining a reputation and an alias known as the "Wandering Protector". Eventually, his travels led him on a boat to Trios, eager to see what new adventures await him.

Meta Knight: Under threat you say?

Meta Knight pondered for a moment about what the agent had just said, if what he was saying was true, then they had just opened Dreamland to threats from all around the multiverse, as if its own universal threats weren't deadly enough. In addition to that, they had also just abducted him from Dreamland, depriving it of its protector as well, and thus making Kirby and Dedede the only ones capable of protecting it. He said grimly to the agent:

Meta Knight: You should have never meddled with things beyond your understanding, now you've thrown everything into chaos and opened the multiverse to an immeasurable number of threats.

Diddly Do

Before the planet was consumed by the plague, its now dead leaders had sent a distress signal to any planet or ship within their communications' range. Fortunately, a patrol fleet stationed on the Republic fringe world of Kirrilik had intercepted the message. The fleet, consisting of one Devastator-class Battlecruiser, one Providence-II star cruiser, and two AV-66 jumped to lightspeed, heading for the infected planet.

The fleet had emerged from hyperspace several kilometres away from the orbiting bio-ship and within its visual range. Admiral Oram Kinsir stood on the bridge of the Devastator-class battlecruiser Endurance and observed the alien craft kilometers away from his fleet.



The admiral then walked over to one of the crew manning a terminal and asked him:

Oram: Crewman, what is the status of the planet down below?

Crewman: 9 of the 10 settlements located on the planet have been destroyed sir, the only one remaining is the largest city on the planet, which still possesses some operational facilities.

Oram: Very well, send down a recon squadron, I want to see what's going on down there.

Crewman: Relaying orders now sir. Should we also move to engage the unknown ship?

Oram: No, let's wait and see, wouldn't want a galactic war on our hands now would we?

Down below on the hangar of the Endurance, several Republic Assault Troopers, along with a handful of HAM Troopers gather near 3 PATGs. A man dressed in an officer's uniform addresses the gathered personnel.

Officer: You will be tasked on recon of the surrounding area, ACA trooper 707, or "Colt" will be joining you as your commanding officer.

As the officer is speaking another figure in yellowish armor approaches the rest of the group, making his way beside the officer.

Officer: The transports will await your evacuation on the ground, be sure to return to the rendezvous point immediately after commands from Colt. Understood?

The troopers yell a unified voice of affirmation, as the officer replies back.

Officer: Good, good luck and godspeed gentlemen

He says as he walks away from the crowd, returning to the bridge.

Colt: You heard the man, troopers. Let's pack up and move out!

Several of the troopers proceed to put their helmets on, before making their way to their assigned gunships. As soon as all personnel are ready for departure, the hangar blast doors open as the craft slowly rise from the ground and fly out, diving downwards towards the planet.
