Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rex stood back up amd gave her a nod, brining out his two machine guns from his wrists, "I shall do as you command." he said turning to search for the civilians. He soon came across a large building that had burst into flames from the aircraft's weapons. He heard people crying out for help inside and what seemed to sound like a dog barking. "Civilians found." he said activated his lens to switch to negative. He caught sight of four people, one bing a child, and a small dog, a terrior. the large mechanical being ran to the building and pullined his weapons back into his wrists. He then broke open part of the wall where the fire had not yet spread.
The people inside looked to where the wall had broke open and backed away in fear not knowing what was happening. Rex pushed his hand into the hole that he broke open and called to them to get on, the people although were too scared to move. But the child was brave enough to step up to him and hop into the large machine's hand which Rex quickly but carefully placed him on the ground, telling him to get to a safe area until he got the others out. After a couple of minutes he had gotten the dog and the other three civilians out. But as soon as he turned to escort them out a large missile had hit him in his chest, knocking him back into the building causing it to collapse into a large pile of dust and brick.

((wow... big post))

((ok and im going to get off for the day soon and btw what everr happened on wastelands, you havent posted in a while.))

((Does that mean no paratroopers?))

"Oi, Johnson, take that way, will ya?"
"Roger that, George."
Myra soon found herself being attacked by a swarm of fighters, isolating her from the bombers, who employed the use of air-to-air missiles in an attempt to destroy the enemy. If Myra attempted to counterattack, she would find it hard to pinpoint and destroy the fighters as they used basic fighter maneuvers, evading enemy attacks while launching attacks of their own.

On the far, lonely side of town, several choppers began descending virtually unopposed. As they reached a certain level, the chopper doors opened and out sprayed machine gun fire, aimed at the ground.
"Hey, you know in those cowboy movies in which the killers come to town?" Yukatan asked, holding his rifle and preparing to jump down from the helicopter.
"Yeah?" replied Riyesnai, nervously clutching his gun.
"We're the killers, man," Yukatan replied, chuckling.
"Alright, men. Our orders are to... let's see, 'destroy and remove hostile forces from Snowtown' and to 'maximize the destruction of the enemy'. In other words, shoot every darn Blue you see. We're heading for the center of town where we can rendezvous with the other paratroopers and launch an assault on key positions around Snowtown. Now listen up, 'cuz these orders are from the top. I don't y'all getting me killed before my enlistment's over, ya hear that?" shouted Sergeant Pasquale Jorzhe over the sounding of the choppers.
"YES, SIR!" came the reply from the entire squad.
"How the hell we're supposed to 'maximize the destruction of the enemy'? We find a Blue, we shoot his @ss three times for good luck?" Yukatan asked.
"Guess we're supposed to kill more of them," shrugged Riyesnai.
"Alright, now MOVE MOVE MOVE!"
Riyesnai jumped and landed onto the snow street, then got out of the way as the rest of the squad jumped as well. He looked around. Everything seemed to be clear. The chopper gunfire had scared away the civilians, and there didn't seem to be any Bluecoat defenders in this part of town.
The squad cautiously made its way towards the center of town, treading silently in the snow.
"There." Sergeant Jorzhe's sharp eyes were the first to spot the Bluecoat that was taking cover behind a roadblock. He took something-- presumably a grenade-- and threw it. It hit the ground in front of the roadblock, and the Bluecoat dived for cover. After a few awkward seconds, however, it still did not explode. The Bluecoat looked up just as Sergeant Jorzhe pulled the trigger and made a headshot.
"Great time for a dud grenade," Yukatan muttered, taking ammo from the dead Bluecoat's body.
"That ain't no dud. I threw a rock. When he heard it drop, he ducked. When the sucker peeked, I popped him over the head. I learned from the colonel," stated the sarge.
"How long you've been in the Red Army again?" Riyesnai asked, standing guard as the rest stripped the ammo of the Bluecoat.
"Several years," came the curt reply.
"How come you haven't retired?" Yukatan's question quickly killed the conversation.

((rofl, that sounds like it came straight out of a novel! good job Rakiaya! whee ))

Phoenix heard an explosion to her right and instinctively ducked her head, but it was only a house collapsing. She ran over to it and noticed a still figure sprawled out in the snow.

"Hold on," She muttered, "I'm coming." The General sprinted over to the unconscious girl but before she chanced moving her, Phoenix checked to make sure there weren't any broken bones. It looked like the girl had a small concussion and her face was pretty bloodied up as well as a broken left arm.

"The Reds are going to pay for this." Phoenix seethed as she searched the area for a piece of wood to make a splint for the arm. There was nothing she could do for the concussion but signal Vortex to come and carry the girl to safety. The dragon banked low, careful not to fan the flames in her master's direction and softly landed.

"Take her to the infirmary immediately; her wounds are beyond my healing abilities." Vortex nodded, then leaped into the air, quickly becoming a black speck in the sky.

((mii, hope it's alright if I save Nao and take her to the infirmary; Phoenix was in charge of evacuating the village and she was doing just that))

[Hehe, not anymore!]
[@Tressorea- minimal]

In an instant, Nao reached up to grab the woman's collar. "I'm staying/" She said through clenched teeth. "They killed my parents." She said, pushing the woman to the ground as she got up. She ripped her red cloak and ited it around her arm and part of her leg to keep out most of the blood. She weakly attempted to stand, but only for a few moments."Herregud!" She spat and instantly jumped to her feet. Nao sprinted as well as she could to the nearest red soldier. She jumped up behind him and grabbed his neck in a choke hold. Nao squeezed as tightly as she could until the man turned blue. "Your. Kind." She said in between breaths. "Killed. My. Parents." She said through clenched teeth. Nao had barely enough time to finish her sentence before the man went limp. She jumped back as the man fell and she gasped. "I killed him..." She whispered to herself. "And it felt, good." Nao took a step back from the man in horror as she realized what she had thought. I'm no better than them... Nao glanced up in the smoke filled sky. "I have to get up there..." She muttered.

[b]Myra barely had enough time to turn to Itaku when the first wave of fighters knocked her to the side. "Pessaro!" She yelled. He knew what it meant. He whirled around in a circle, his delicate feathers now flaming. Myra had spent years building up an immunity towards his fire...the others did not. He took out three fighters just from the heat flowing from his body. Pessaro smacked his tail into another, sending it crashing down towards the orphanage. "Bort!" Myra yelled, sending a gust of wind towards the debris. It hurtled off into the distance, nowhere in sight. Myra hope it didn't land on anything important. She glanced off to the side, just in time to see a fighter jet swerving towards her. "Försvinna!" She muttered, and the jet simply disappeared.

((dang... i missed alot in one day))
Rex got up from under the building's rubble and looked around, not able to find the citizens he had saved, "hopefully they made it." he said to himself activated his weapons once more. With his free hand he pressed it against his chest, noticing a small hole about 5 inches deep. "I better not get another hit like that." he said with a groan in pain. "I didnt think the reds would be this destructive." he said almost falling over. He stood back up and walked across the town searching for Phoenix once again.

Rex continued to dash across the field, weapons in hand, and another Jet dove at him opening fire with its main guns. The large mech turned around and opened fire back with its two miniguns, blowing large holes into the aircraft having it burst into flames then explode. "Hmph. not much of a challenge." he said turning back to continue on.
