RE: The Reckoning

The Rocket rips through the wall, the vacuum created in the rocket's wake pulls all the smoke out of the room.  Seconds later, the rocket detonates with a deafening boom, the sound wave shatters what's left of the wall and some of the roof; bricks, mortar, glass, and whatever it is roofs are made of shower down in chunks on the occupants of the room.  Bones crunch under the avalanche, a thick cloud of dust rises from the ground.

Szyren is protected from the debris in the other room.

Accordingly, the trail of fire spewed backwards by the rocket set fire to the chairs in the waiting room, the flames are spreading.  New, black smoke quickly takes the place of the yellow and orange smog made by the grenades.

Szyren grabs her pack and places her shades back in their rightful place on her nose.  She stays low to the ground and crab walks into the rubble, grabbing at exposed limbs to identify which of them belong to Neil or his mobster friend.

She's still laughing.

Emilia is down the block on a pay phone, watching in stark terror as her place of employment goes up in smoke.  On the other end, a police dispatcher is trying desperately to get her location.

RE: The Reckoning

Neil's hand is exposed vertically from inside the pile of rubble. He feels around a bit, struggles, and finally holds his pinky finger up obscenely.

Most of the rubble atop him is constituted of broken pieces of sheetrock, though some wooden struts did land on him painfully.

He wiggles his arm until he makes it a hole to maneuver in and begins picking the bigger pieces off of himself, eventually simply standing up and shedding his thin drywall shell. He observes the lack of a building around him.

Neil: Am I in the post-cyberpocalypse?

He sees Szyren.

Neil: Can you tell me what happened? I have episodes sometimes.

RE: The Reckoning

((Sorry for dropping the building on you))

Szyren sobers up for a moment and assissts Neil's arm in unburying its owner.  The fire is still an issue in the other room but it's moving slowly, trying to find fuel in the wreckage.

Szyren tips her head a little sheepishly and adjusts her tophat.

Szyren: The rocket went off, the robot ducked, the house fell down.  I think, upon reflection, that this may be my fault.  Sorry about that.  You seem okay though.

She shrugs it off her shoulders and begins to scramble through the rubble again.

Szyren:  Help me find your gangsta pal so we can fly the coop, alright?  I think this is his leg here... these were the pants he was wearing.

In the distance, the sound of sirens can be heard wailing.

RE: The Reckoning

(Haha, no problem.)

Neil: Where is the robot, anyway?

He rubs his head where a low flying electrical outlet hit him. He realizes that Szyren thinks she's found Kyzer, so he goes over to that part of the pile and starts pulling stuff off. He soon happens upon Kyzer's face.

Neil: Hellooooooo!
Kyzer: What happened?
Neil: It was horrible. A wizard did it.
Kyzer: Where's that freaking assassin? Is he still alive? And get me out of this! Argh!

Neil turns to Szyren.

Neil: Got any dynamite? That'll blast him right out!
Kyzer: What?!
Neil: I mean... miners do it.

RE: The Reckoning

((I'm glad you're enjoying it. Happy))

Szyren grins widely at the thought of blowing Kyzer out of the pile he's buried under, but Kyzer doesn't seem to share her enthusiasm.  So she pockets the idea and starts hefting chunks of wreckage up and flinging them across the room.

Szyren: I think --huff-- the robot --heave-- is buried under --ugh-- here too.

She straightens up and looks over her shoulder.  Flashing blue and red lights catch her attention and she reconsiders blowing Kyzer out of his hole.  She feels the cold steel of the stolen gun against her back and is only a little reassured by its presence.

Szyren: I have a plasma grenade... does he have to be in one piece in order for you to get your money, Neil?

She looks down at Kyzer and speaks in a very patronizing tone.

Szyren: Would you rather be missing a few limbs and free, or stuck down there for the police, or, better yet, for your shiny metal friend to find?

Her pause, and the smile that follows in the assumed silence, are devious.

Szyren: I'm pretty sure a good doctor can sew back on anything you lose.

RE: The Reckoning

    Truth twitched sparking slightly he tried to move finding that he was immobile. Kai did a diagnostic check  and found that his right arm was attached but offline along with cognative complex and a whole bunch of superficial damage. He slowly stood up, his frame straining from effort the debris fell off him. His right arm dangled from a few strands of metal and wire.
Truth spoke "(unitelligable) Bli...(fritz)(various sounds that are obliviosly not good)". Truth's voice changed to Kai's "Gahh!" Truth scavanged for a weapon he was looking for anything really and he found his handgun. He fired it once to clear any obstruction in the barrel. He tried toactivate his infared but it quickly shorted out. "Frag it all!" he stumbled through the smoke looking for anyone and as he stepped on a pile of rubble he heard an "ohhhhh". He uncovered the pile and found that it was just a gaurd he shot the gaurd and confiscated his SigArms P220R. He had holstered his pistol and preferred the SigArms Truth fired off another round into the smoke.

RE: The Reckoning

Neil ponders deeply about Kyzer's fate, but suddenly hears the loud bang of gunfire and his ears start to ring again.

Neil: Uh, we'll come back for you.

His teeth clack together as he gives a highly unassuring grin and dumps the rubble back onto Kyzer. He turns to Szyren, his forced smile not changing at all.

Neil: Maybe the police will take care of it.

He runs.

RE: The Reckoning

Szyren's smile, not at all forced, turns drastically into a pout.  She had so been looking forward to freeing Kyzer in a plasmatic flurry.

Oh well...

She shoots the heap a sidelong glance before hurrying after Neil.  She doesn't want to get too heavily involved with a police investigation, and the spreading bonfire is certainly getting hot.  Three cop cars pull up to what was once an office just as Szyren and Neil turn the corner.

Catching up to her partner (For she's deemed him her partner), she matches his pace and runs alongside him.

Szyren: So, he'll wire that money to you, right?  Because, technically, he didn't get killed by some crazy chiropractor or a metal murderer...

By now, a fire engine has arrived at the scene behind them and men in yellow uniforms are fighting the flames slowly licking their way up the mold on the adjacent buildings.  Emilia is barking frantically at an officer who's furiously taking notes.

RE: The Reckoning

Chris stuffs the empty magazine into a pouch and inserts a new one as he surveys the carnage. Everything is shot up. Dead gangstas lie around, smoking vehicles sit crashed into telephone poles, and the neighborhood folk are cheering at their victory over the gangstas.

Chris: Yet another successful massacre.
John: Doesn't it just make you feel good about yourself?

The extreme sarcasm is unsettling.

Tom pops a couple of Skittles into his mouth and looks around.

Bill walks over to them, holstering his enormous six-gun.

Bill: Hey, you guys, great job. Believe me, I'd tell you if it wasn't because I'm payin' for this and I don't have the patience to beat around the bush. Listen here, they're not going to stop attacking us unless we can cut off the proverbial snake's head. I've come into possession of some information regarding the snake's head. His name is Kyzer Inaka and he regularly goes to see his chiropractor. In fact, he should be there right now.
John: And you want us to go bump him off?
Jake: Nice.
Bill: I don't care how you do it, but I want him to know that we don't take kindly to his slag, you understand me? Kick 'is yeah, give 'im a good talking. I don't give a slag how you do it, just get it done.

They discuss the location of the chiropractor's office and grab a soda before departure. John grabs a communicator from his vest pocket.

John: Hey, Jango. Still alive up there?
Jango: Yeah.
John: We need a Jeep. It's kind of a long walk to our next destination.
Jango: Coming right up, provided the teleporter works.

After a moment of silence and some tapping feet, a dark green Jeep Wrangler TJ with the soft top down appears in the middle of the street. The team all squeeze in and Chris cranks it up and throws it into first.

Bill: Go get 'em, bear-bear.

Exchanging quick, befuddled glances due to the fact that Bill just said "bear-bear", they speed off down the road.

Fifteen minutes later they arrive at the discussed location only to see cops, firemen, and fire in large quantities.

Tom: Oh, snap. Looks like someone already sent him a clear message.
Megan: Or the chiropractor isn't any good.

John lets his head roll back against the top of the seat, breathing a sigh of relief because it looks an awful lot like their mission has been accomplished prior to their arrival.

RE: The Reckoning

  He hears the sirens approach him he uncovers another gaurd and shoots him. He kneels down and rips a couple strips of cloth from his shirt. Truth then ties the cloths around his right arm and left shoulder. He then creates a sling hiding his new pistol he sighs. Truth runs throug hthe doorway rushing past any of the emergency personal. 'Kyzer will have to wait...I need to repair and try to sort things out' he thought. Truth runs out the front door and stops almost instantly noticing all of the people. He grinned "ahhh now something easy..." Truth bumrushes a police squad cruiser and at the last second sommersaults over it. Truth lands almost perfectly  and begins running towards the jeep. He runs past it and towards the apartment where he left his Wraith hoping no one came home while he was gone.

   Kia winces at the pain of his arm being ripped off he swallows several pain pills. "This merc and his new buddy need to be killed or at least delayed Parson, or I'm afraid next time Truth might not be able to react to a firecracker being launched at his face..." Kia sighed.
