A dreadful silence befell the Abandoned Town as the fog rolled in, thicker than usual this morning. The bright mists were thick enough to obscure teams from each other, isolating each and every one. Shouts of confusion and warning rang out -- were you friend? Or were you foe? Or were you an empty trash can, hunched cleverly against the newspaper box to look like a person kneeling down and waiting?

No matter. One by one, team members of both Gamma and Eta stumbled around blindly. Some may have gone in circles, others may have lost themselves within the twisting dark alleyways of the ghost town. The shouts of confusion and of teammates searching for one another died off, stilling as team members concentrated on either finding another person or finding their way back to base.

This sole purpose was shattered as the ground began to shake. The trembling could be felt through the thick boots, striking each and every members bones. The sound came next: rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat. It sounded like an automatic gun, one that became louder and louder until the sound was no longer heard but felt in everyone's chest, the incessant thundering beat of many people marching; the dull thudding impact of missles colliding and exploding upon the ground, the sudden impact of dread that lingered over everyone's minds.

Those brave enough to walk directly towards the sound would find themselves in the main square of the abandoned town, and discover the source of the noise.

Was that... a horse? No. It couldn't be. The only thing even equine-like about it was its shape. First of all, horses did not spout flames and hellfire as far as the squad members' faulty logic went. Secondly, horses did not stand towering almost twenty feet tall. Thirdly, when was a horse ever blood-red in color?

The fog seemed to have cleared around the creature, leaving instead a thick miasma of dark smoke. Through the squad members' gas mask filters, the scent of burning wood and things you'd rather not think about too much was unavoidable. Where the creature stepped, the ground shuddered and splintered, leaving behind a trail of fragments still glowing and smoking upon the scorched earth.

The creature was staring right at the squad members, rearing up with a terrible death whinny as if challenging them. Wait! Was that a pendant tied to one of its horns on its head? It seemed like it would not be an easy fight to get at it.


(( OOC: BOSS FIGHT, HP: 50


??? HAS INVADED THE ABANDONED TOWN, and has the pendant (check your cell phone messages for more news about pendants)

- It looks like both teams of the squad members are going to have to fight against ??? in order to get it, if they want to ensure their survival.
- AT THIS POINT friendly fire is turned on. Squad members can choose to attack each other, but will forfeit attacking the boss for that turn. After all, the less squad members with you means a better chance for you to get that pendant...
- Please follow the BATTLE rules when attacking, you can only attack once per turn
- YOU CANNOT LEAVE THIS BATTLE UNTIL THE BOSS HAS BEEN DEFEATED
- Boss Attacks will hit EVERYONE!

(( Gamma Nine entering))

After rushing out of the home base, Nine was the first to come across the hellish demon horse thing stamping around the abandoned town. She didn't know quite what to do really. She had never seen anything like this before, but she knew it couldn't be a good thing to just let it wander around, especially with flames coming out of its maw.

That's when she saw it. Hung on one of its horns was a pendant, and she had to have it. Pulling her nun-chucks out of her bag, Nine swung them around for a split second, testing how they worked. She had never really seen or used anything like them before, so it was all rather difficult. With a charge at the horse thing, she ran swinging. She managed to only barely hit the damn thing as she accidentally clocked herself in the head and staggered a few feet off.

Ugh, some of the others better be coming soon.

((Gamma Three entering boos fight!))

Gamma Three was pissed.

It was not the fact that the ground shook or that she could feel the force of it from head to toe. It was not even that she tripped on her way out of the windmill and smashed her face into the ground, picking herself up quickly and explaining at length that she had not just tripped and was, in fact, very graceful.

It was that for a brief moment she thought someone on that island had been given a real gun, and that made her non-existent p***s feel shriveled and small as she pulled her rubber pellet launcher from her boot and ran towards the noise.

“Wh-” she began, eyes widening behind the lenses of her mask. She had expected bloodshed. She had expected violence. She had not expected a twenty foot tall Soquili flaming horse which would have cost at least twenty million gold likely eaten their faces, “Jack. JACK!”

Jack was at her side already, “Jack, I need you to distract it. I'm going to get that pendant for us.”

<< Eta IV entering BOSS FIGHT >>


The ground rumbled beneath her booted foot. "The gamemakers are changing the zone," she whispered to Kate, glancing over her shoulder. There was too much fog to see much of anything. Kate grasped on to Jack's arm, and their eyes met in one feverish, impassioned stare.

Yes. They had to fight.

Eta IV was attacking the fire pony -- because Kate had asked it of her.

"We're getting off this island!" she screamed, vaulting herself high into the air and swinging her nunchucks over her head like Napoleon Dynamite. Jack might have had no idea what she was doing, but she was fully prepared to commit to this performance. Fully.

Unfortunately, her nunchucks weren't ready to commit to her so much. One nunchuck glanced the horse's hoof, and the other slammed Jack so hard in the mouthpiece that she tasted blood. Suddenly terrified of the weapon she held, Jack decided to simply be a distraction and began running in circles (as best as she could) around the firehorse.

Oh GOODIE. Text messages. She could barely fumble with her goddamned phone with the gloves she was wearing on. Good thing all she had to do was flip through s**t. Y'know..13 survivors, pendants and survival s**t. This game was trying to separate them all into 'just me' groups, weren't they? Sadly, it was working.

However, it seemed that her reaction to giant flaming death pony was less collected than it could have been, swearing loudly when she saw the creature stomping around and having to pause to try and check her pulse through her gear again.

"WHAT THE ******** GOD-DAMN-s**t IS THAT THING?" she blurted out, not sure if she should attack it or not.

Then again, attacking it may have been better than being trampled. Now if she could only get the stupid nunchucks to work......

However, it seemed that like her fellow Nunchuck user, Gamma-12 suffered from 'IT HITS ME MORE THAN IT HITS IT', getting pegged in one arm as she swung the damn things..but she also hit the other thing too! HOT DAMN!

(( Gamma One entering ))

[ Melee Attacking ]

'That..that can't possibly be a horse!' One yelled, both freaked out and curious at the same time. She saw her fellow Gamma team members..and someone else who she didn't recognise, and she rushed over to attack..or help, noting that the horse-beast-thing had one of the pendants the text had mentioned.

'Damn it.' she ran over, putting her bandages away for a moment, and flailing out with fists, managing to make a small amount of contact.

Kate was running, full speed, praying to some deity she couldn't remember – Buddha? Jesus? Lady Gaga – that those attacking the monstrosity would be enough to hold it's attention. It was not bravery that fueled her. In fact, it might have been downright stupidity, but it was do or die now. Kill or be killed.

Mount a monster, or be mounted by a monster. The others could do as they please, but Gamma Three was not about to become prison b***h to something that smelled like a grandmother's underpants.

Like impending death and Depends.

She ran, trying to avoid fire and brimstone and claws and jesus christ it was really hot, and made a leap for the creature's tail, gloved hands outstretched to try and grab hold of it. If she failed, well, there was a good chance she was getting a face full of hot rock and dirt.

[η IX Entering]

[Eta Nine is attacking!]

Running headlong through the dense fog, Eta Nine took the time to wonder if she was sprinting to her death. It would be appropriate, really, to be one of the first to die in this horrible little game, especially after she had already been taking so many mental precautions. The fog was so thick she could not see more than a few feet ahead of her, but the footsteps of her teammates were still up ahead, as well as the horrifying sounds. So she was going in the right direction, to her death or not.

The sounds eventually led her to what seemed to be the town center, and the fog conveniently cleared as the group arrived. Upon seeing what was making the noise, however, Eta Nine desperately wished the fog would roll in again, as thick as possible so no one would see her piss herself. It was...a horse? A horse that was very large and shooting flame and evil incarnate. She had definitely arrived at her death.

The others were attacking the horse, and so Eta Nine drew out her own weapon. The small dagger looked positively useless when faced with such an opponent, but it was better than...trying to latch onto the horse's tail, she thought as she watched Gamma Three do just that very thing. Alrighty then.

Screeching, Eta Nine ran at one of the horse's legs, her dagger outstretched.

((Gamma Eleven Entering, rolling for weapon damage))

Growling in irritation as he ran into the fog, Eleven gazed at this thing before them. What the...hell....? Was that supposed to be a freaking horse....demon.....thing? What in the name of....The name of whoever the hell? Clenching his gun tight, he moved to the side of Gamma One, who seemed to have nothing but bandages for weapons, "....Let's just hope this isn't too hard to take down." Pendant or not, he wasn't going to separate his team just yet. Firing, he leveled the gun.

Which.....had rubber pellets, he noticed after pulling the trigger. RUBBER! What the hell kind of good was RUBBER against a damn DOOMHORSETHING?

((η VIII entering))

[η VIII is Melee attacking - or rather, she failed to Melee attack.]


Unfortunately, the moment η VIII stepped outside of the base camp, the fog seemed to drown her. It curled around her in an almost unnatural way (or at least her instincts were telling her it was vaguely unnatural anyhow - at this point, the poor girl wasn't entirely sure if she should even be trusting her instincts anymore). Soon enough, all she could see was white; nothing else. There were shapes and figures, but nothing seemed to make any sense.

Fear paralyzed her and her mind ran a hundred miles per hour as she tried to decide what do do; should she go find one of her team mates? Or go back to the base? Surely she'd be able to retrace her steps and head back to the base, couldn't she? Except... when she turned around and attempted to blindly find her way back, she found it to be an impossible feat; the notion only served to heighten her state of mild fear into outright panic.

As if that weren't enough, despite the fact she was trying desperately to walk away from the sounds she could hear, she found herself in the middle of the town square, facing a.... what the hell was that? She was paralyzed, and despite the fact she could vaguely make out some forms around her that seemed to be attacking the... monster? A demon? Whatever it was, she couldn't seem to budge an inch from her spot, her arms wrapped around her bag, clutching it tight to her chest. Behind her mask her eyes were wide, frightened, and all she wanted to do was go home. Where ever home was anyhow.

((Eta III entering.))

Eta III let the tent flap drop behind him, he hoped the others wouldn't take long to follow, remaining in the tent blind as to what was making all this noise outside wasn't sensible. He himself needed answers but as he well knew he'd only find more questions at first. The rucksack was across both shoulders now, out of his way and it felt frightfully light, he wished for a greater supply of goods/equipment. He shrugged then and looked around him, little good that did him, the area was thick with fog like nothing he'd ever seen before, which wasn't saying much as he didn't remember much. Instead he focused to his other senses, most importantly his ears he guessed the direction the growing doom impending sounds came from and then faced them bravely starting towards them at a steady rolling jog.

It wasn't long before he reached what must have been the town square, the area was framed by the silhouettes of buildings on all sides but that wasn't what caught his attention it was the bloody great big, what could only be described as a horse however it wasn't a horse, far from it. It was towering above them, some nineteen, twenty foot tall it's jaws filled with tens of needle like teeth and it was breathing fire! He wanted to laugh madly then, this was like something out of a fantasy novel or a horror film. The air smelt of smoke even through his gas mask, he couldn't take his eyes of the thing but he was not one to freeze with fear and quickly he took in the others in the area, olive and dark blue clad figures, they all seemed to be attacking the great creature.

Standing inactive wasn't going to do anything for anyone, he readied himself, drawing out his knife where he had tucked it into his belt and ran at an aggressive speed toward the creature. Quickly his mind thought, stabbing wouldn't be wise, he didn't want to get his tiny blade stuck so he opted for slashing at one of the creatures legs hoping multiple wounds would in time weaken and tire the thing.

((η II entering))
Eta II IS * ATTACKING*

Eta II stepped outside the tent, his vision severely obscured by what was an impossible mixture of fog AND dust. It was easy to pinpoint where the noise came from. And whatever was making it, he reckoned, had to be effing huge.

So, tell me why exactly are you heading towards danger spelt out in flashing neon lights again? Eta II berated himself. I'm obviously insane.

Running towards Eminent Doom, Eta II realised that he was headed towards the abandoned town. Great, so you know where you are on the map now. Like that matters-
The ground shook once again, throwing him off balance. Eta II picked himself up and then he saw.

He saw the -
My Little Pony from Hell , he thought, even though it was hardly a time for jokes. Not very little either. Eta II stared upwards at the beast who towered over him - even from a distance away. Yea, he assured himself, touch that and you're screwed.

Eta II was about to do the right thing - RUN AWAY! But alas he spotted a familiar figure at the foot of the monster, clutching her backpack, cowering. FML, he lamented as he instinctively slid his backpack to the side to retrieve the nunchucks it contained. I AM an idiot.

Eta II charged towards the beast, flailing the ends of the nunchucks in the air. From the corner of his eye, he could see that Eta III was making a move on it too. Almost there. Eta II geared himself up to land a hit that.....would hopefully matter.

Well the nunchucks did contact. They hit both and monster and.....himself! You're an idiot. Really. Eta II reminded himself as he fell backwards onto the ground, head throbbing from the poorly aimed swing. The demon seemed to take a little damage as well, whatever the case, it looked pretty damn angry.

"Now would be a good time!" he cried out to Eta VIII, who was still standing still, rooted at the spot. "Get away!"

"Man I hate my inner superhero," Eta II mumbled to himself, head still throbbing as hell. He for one, never noticed the pendant dangling from one of the horns of the Demon Horse.

It seemed like such a bad idea to attack something flaming with a wooden weapon, but what else was there to do?! 8 would rather die fighting this an innocent woman than die at a comrade's hands a murderer... and the pendant. Oh, glory be, what she would do for that pendant...

Her team was here, and the blues, they were here as well. Was the point to band together, or to destroy the other team?
