[E-12 Entering from Blue Scouting Party
E-12 is ATTACKING ???]

E-12 jogged after her teammates. It seemed like she was always doing that, always one step behind. That would have to change. She pressed on with fierce determination, trying not to think about what possible danger she was running into.

Well, that ignorance could only bring bliss for so long. As E-12 got into sight of the enormous, fire breathing horse monster, her blood turned cold. This was the sort of thing they were expected to fight? With knives?!

She was almost ready to turn back. In fact, her right foot had turned ever so slightly in the opposite direction. She had sworn to protect E-3, after all, and E-3 was not here yet. But then she saw it. E-12’s eyes snapped to the glittering object hanging from the creature’s lips? Was that a pendant? Impeccable timing, if it was. Of course, whoever was planning this whole thing had clearly intended it to be that way.

Never mind that. E-12 needed that pendant. She tightened her fist around the comfortable handle of her knife. If she wanted to reach that pendant, she’d have to go for it. She took one steadying, agonizingly insufficient breath, and ran at the monster. She sliced viciously at the nearest limb.

[Beta 9 entering for the boss fight]

Well wasn't this the best day ever? She'd gone to find the rest of the group and found a giant freaking horse. Awesome. B9 ran over and tried to knife the pony thing. It had a pendant after all and her phone told her it was important. The phone knew things and if it told her to get the pendant then she'd try her best.

[E-Two entering from Epsilon Base Camp

E-Two is ATTACKING]

Everyone had already left the tent, and E-Two was happy enough to wait back. He really did not want to have someone surprise him, behind him; so he was a little twitchy, that's ok, right?

His phone buzzed just as he entered the first part of the cornfields, one of his teammates still in view in front of him-- the message was at least less frustrating than the first.

And then the fog rolled in, and E-Two sprinted to catch up-- he wasn't about to be left behind.

Arriving where the rest of the team was, it was suddenly less about protecting his own skin and now entirely about taking the giant crazy creature down.

[[ Beta I is entering from Beta Base
Attacking E-4]]




A pendant, guaranteed survival. When survival was your main, if only, objective, it was crucial to obtain that which would aid you in your efforts to live.
So with this logic in mind Beta I was going to get that ******** pendant. Eyes flicked to the blue colored Beta members on the battlefield. Beta I was not keen to letting them have that which was required for her survival...But those others...
In pink? Not so lucky. Judging by their numbers, the two colored forces might be having the same goal it looked like. Survival. And the pendant. No. It was better if another Beta member had the pendant. The others were unknown. While her comrades in blue were just as unknown, the fact they shared the same colors was better then nothing. After this, Beta 1 was going to have chat with her fellow Beta members. With possibles allies.
But there would be time to form more firm foundations later. Right now, Beta 1 was focused on those in pink. The others. Who posed a substantial threat? Yes. That one. The one with the stake.

Threat found. Threat...to be eliminated. Running up, the nunchuck swung out, landing a hit, but the bounce bat caught Beta 1 in return. Hissing she stepping away.

[ε IX entering from Beta Scouting Party thread.] [ε IX attacking ???]

ε IX stumbled into the cleared area, initially surprised by the sudden lack of fog and cornstalks... until she saw the creature looming up ahead and realized that the hulking thing was not part of the landscape. She froze at the edge of the clearing, debating whether or not to bolt back through the corn stalks or to forge ahead and take her chances with the beast. It was then that she noticed the other people scattered about the place. Were they friends? She decided it would be best to watch her back around them as she noted that some of the others were fighting amongst themselves. Perhaps there was an ally or two among them, but she would remain wary.

For now, she would concentrate her efforts on getting that pendant and ensuring her own survival. Creeping forward into the battle zone, she gripped her dagger in what she thought was the most efficient pose. Her plan was to rush the beast and strike out at one of its legs, although what damage could be done with such a tiny blade seemed more like wishful thinking than anything else. Jaw clenched, nerves on edge, she made her move.

The giant horse...thing, stood calmly throughout the onslaught, not flinching back from the damage but rather...fading slightly with each hit. Finally, it reared up and slammed it's hooves down. All those close to it were shoved back by a sudden, terrible wall of pressure. "Approach me again," it spoke clearly, in a soft voice that still carried across the fields, "..and you will do so on your knees. I am only here...to deliver something to one who is worthy of it..."



Gleaming and glowing as it dangled from the creatures mouth, this had to be one of the pendants. "Among all of you is a conqueror, one who stands above the prone and dying bodies of their enemies...such a person is perhaps worthy of this bauble."

Only one challenger may stand tall while others kneel.

(( OOC: THE AFTERMATH

PART 2

- ??? is waiting to see which person stands tallest in battle. Meaning, who at the end of this has the highest remaining HP. They will give the pendant at the next GM post (ETA 24 hours)
- IT IS NOW FREE FOR ALL PVP. You CANNOT LEAVE this battle, the ??? creature simply WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE. You will die instantly.
- YOU MAY ATTACK 3 TIMES TOTAL
- You may not use your first aid kit.
- Anyone can attack ANYONE, but if you wish to attack them more than once, you will need to wait for them to respond.
- Example: I am person A and I choose target B. I cannot attack target B again until target B has responded.
- Example 2: I am person A and my friend is person C, and we attack target B. Both of us cannot attack B again until B has responded.
- Example 3: I am person A, and my allies, person B, and person C and person D come in, more can come in to attack target B, just not the same people in one turn.
- Please also justify in your attack an IC reason to attack said person. People can even debate and argue about who should be attacked first, before swinging the weapon wildly. After all, the squad members aren't wild animals, maybe they should reason with each other first....
- You can choose not to attack at all, but keep in mind, only those who actively battle have a chance at the pendant!
- You are free to exit the thread once a GM has made the appropriate post ETA: 24 hours
- The same battle rules apply, make sure to post accordingly thank you and good luck! ))

"..." E-Seven stared at the horse, the talking horse. Lofting a brow before looking around. "The hell.... is someone playing a trick?" He asked before shaking his head.

Okay so if it was seriously a talking horse... that meant that it'd probably be wise to listen to the pony. E-Seven frowned looking from E-Thirteen to his other teammates and then to those in the blue.

Taking a few steps back, but not leaving the area, E-Seven was trying to get his head around this information. There was one of them that was able to get the pendant... "So... I think a... er... plan would be nice." He muttered to no one in particular.

Talking about dreaming high. It was bad enough a horse just fell from the sky and started spitting fire, but talking? Yeah, he would just have to get used to the fact that anything, ANYTHING, could happen in this place. Who knows, maybe some fluffy pink bunny will hop out and turn in to some raging savage lop headed sea monster.

Tightening the grip on his dagger, E-8 slowly looked out at not only the people on his own team, but those on the opposing team. Here it was, the go to start slaying each other, but would he have the guts to do something like that. To commit murder. It was one thing to think of such things when one was angry, but another to actually do it, and without any other reason besides order and survival...

"A plan has already been set E-7. Only one of us can win, and means it is every person for themselves..."
