Hellfire Club: The Mission [CLOSED]

[astonishing_xmods]

WHO: Nightcrawler and those selected for the mission.
WHAT: The Hellfire Club infiltration mission
WHERE: Manhattan
WHEN: Late evening
WARNING(S): Could get violent.

Team One was already on the ground, infiltrating the party. The rest waited in silence aboard the Blackbird, hovering in complete stealth mode high above the island. Back at the Institute, Professor X closely monitored the communications of the team, ready to give the signal when ready...

It was go time.

[[ OKAY HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING TO GO.

Top levels will be going up for each mission phase. Each phase will, OOCly, go on simultaneously so no one has to wait for another team to complete their task. Players have freedom to play as they like, but the mod characters in each team (Feliks, Shindou, Reimu) will most likely lead the action in the direction it's intended to go. The mod account will pop in for NPCing every now and again.

Have fun! ]]

Dammit. Sitting around and waiting for trouble? Not Kanji's style. Especially when he can hear what's happening next door. As it is, he's just checking around in case anything does start up again here, glancing at Takane's still form - she should have some of those things handled, right?

He brings up a handful of electricity, absorbs it back, pulls it out again, ready to hit anything that comes through that door or any other direction...

[Shutting everything down isn't quite so simple. There's no single plug Takane can pull within the system. Instead, each unit has to be disabled individually...and so, for every one 'bot that's boot-up screen suddenly dies, there are two more still slowly coming to life.

Nor is the advanced model X-23 swipes at so easily taken down. It's built for maneuverability, and as she swings for it there's a burst of speed as the hover-pads built in along its feet throw it to one side, around the blow. Then it's darting in, one of its spears thrusting for Laura's gut as the other slashes for her throat.

The other units waking up seem to figure it has her handled for the time being, too, because they're going for the other nearest life signs - Kanji's and Takane's. Marching for the door, a pair of droids quite like the first stride through. They'll meet Kanji blast for blast, firing the same type of concussive bolts the team's already dealt with.]

Laura, fortunately, was born with more applicable weapons than her genetic source material. She holds her ground as it rushes her again, she uses the claws in her hands to parry the strike meant for her throat.

And launches a boot up to try and cut off the arm aimed for her gut. Not really caring if that spear hits her or not.

"We are experiencing... complications. On our end."

No kidding, 'complications'. Kanji lets off a torrent of sparks in the approaching robots' direction as soon as he sees them, attempting to aim for their own weaponry in the split second he has to act - in any case, he's throwing a wide enough blast that he'll hopefully hit something.

It's not going to be that simple, though. Acting to shield Takane, he yells as a blast hits and knocks him down.

[The knight's arm shears off just below its shoulder -- just a split-second after the attached spear pierces deep into Laura's gut. Immediately, it's rearing back with its remaining weapon to try to strike at her chest, this time. But the loss has it off-balance and with no way to guard itself as it attacks...

Kanji's lightning, meanwhile, hits home across the entirety of the doorway, both 'bots taking the brunt of it. Even as he's tumbling back, the unit that struck him is hitting the floor, its head and one of its limbs having loosened from its body in a jolt of flame. The other stays standing, but it's smoking heavily...and seems to be more interested in walking straight into the adjacent wall over and over than in coming after its target.

There's more where that came from, though. By now, most of the units that were fully deactivated have had time to wake up. And, though Takane's managed to put the majority back into sleep mode, there are still a solid dozen containment pods sliding open...]
