Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tom shimmers into translucence, only an arms' length away from Barsul. "Here," he mutters, lighting a crudely-rolled cigarette on a chunk of flaming bone. Nodding towards the explosions, he grins humorlessly. "Here they come...hope you're not tired..."

((I swear to god, Tom, If you can't remember to stay active in the barracks, I can't be held responsible for what I'm gonna do to you!))

((.....^-^;; ))

((........!!!! *Cries* ))

Brutus finally came upon his comrades. He was uncloaked and moved with much less urgency than he did before. He raised a hand in the air as a greeting from the distance he was at, and then closed the gap while running in his long strided run. "Siblings, the raiders are on thier way! I managed to take some of them out, but i wanted to let you guys have some of the fun. There's only say forty of them left. Between the four of us it shouldnt be anything we cant handle." The cloud of movment was much closer now. "They should be upon us any minute now. Everyonw get ready." Brutus balled both of his hands into fists and smacked the air with the back of his fists as he held the saftey button on his gloves, sending the trigger bars to ready position. "You guys ready to play?"

Having remained silent after coming up beside them all she finally remembered and then shimmered back into existance. "Forty hm?" she grinned slightly "let the games begin"
her foot shifted back a little, leaving almost all of the wieght on the front foot.

Brutus chuckled and looked at Tom,"Well i didnt want you guys to miss out on any of the fun." The cloud was even closer, and some raiders started to pour over the side of a large dune; half of them scared of the explosions, and the other half too stupid to realise or suspect anything suspitious. Brutus flicked his stealthboy on. "Let's see how well you set up them tripmines." Brutus thought out loud. Brutus could have sworn on his life that he saw a raider riding a mutant's back, controling him but dismissed it as an illusion.

Brutus shut his eyes hard, flicking on his Stealthboy and then opening his eyes as he disapeared. He took a look around, trying to see where the best part for a brawl would be. After a sweep of the area he noticed the raiders had found the tripmines, limbs flying in bloody chucks that burned as they flew through the air. Brutus chuckled a bit and then saw what he thought was an illusion at first. A Supermutant with a raider on his back, controling him with chains that were fastened to his shoulders, they seemed to be driven straight into his bone. This particular mutant slouched way more than the ussual mutant and had a very stern yet neutral look on his face. His eyes stayed fixed to the ground as the raider whiped the chains. The mutant answered with a shout and statred running forward, grunting heavily. "What the hell?" Brutus thought outloud as he reached for his mic. "Hey guys, im gonna play with a playmate of mine. Think you can handle the pawns while i take out the rook?" Brutus started running forward and stayed his course toward the mutant foe. As he approached he noticed that the mutant was much larger than he thought. If he stood up straight he'd be another half of Brutus in full height. He seemed much more fast instead of strong, his muscles on his legs seemed much more attoned for running, and his arms werent as accustomed to punching.Brutus slowed to a stop and stood aside as the mutant approached.

When the mutant was close enough he lept onto his back, hanging onto the human, who held fast on the chains, causing the mutant to rear back, standing up straight. The raider began to fall and Brutus took ahold of the left chain while Punching the raider in the gut, launching a flechette round into his stomach and sending what was left of his body into the desert sun and sand. Brutus held onto the chain as the Mutant whiped around trying to figure out what was going on and began to run and swerve. Brutus attempted to balance himelf on the back of the bizzare creature, but fell down and clung to the chain as he was dragged across the sand, knocking the switch on his stealthboy off. As Brutus came into focus the other raiders began to stare and wonder with thier mouths open. Although not intended, it gave the other hidden members of the squad to take some sort of action.

Brutus attempted to answer, but every time he opened his mouth sand flew in and made him gag. He began to climb his way up the chain, pulling himself up the length hand over hand. As the mutant ran in dizzying circles, Brutus managed to get a foot hold and jerked himself up to a standing position. With a yell and a stamp of his right foot, he attempted to stop the running fiend, but to no avail. Brutus lost his footing again and was flying through the air , still clinging to the chain. This thing just dosent stop! Brute force wont work...... I'll have to get him to stop somehow. With the thought in mind Brutus began pulling himself toward the mutant again eventually getting close enough to grab a hold of his left arm, and with a stretch his right shoulder. The mutant felt Brutus' touch and immidietly reacted by stoping and thrashing around trying to throw him off. "Me no like you! You get off NOW!" The mutant tryed harder, twisting his hips and grabbing with his arms. "I will NOT get off! You serve these humans as slaves! Anyone who dosent have the strength to stand up for themselves dosent deserve to wield whatever gift they may be blessed with!" Finaly the mutant ripped Brutus off of his back and tucked him under his shoulder. Although he seemed weaker, Brutus underestimated how strong he was. He struggled as the mutant gained speed, running at the rate of a faster human; a feat thought impossible by mutant standards. After the two mutants were far away from the rest of the group the fast mutant slammed Brutus on the ground and slid to a stop not far away from him. "Me Randi." Brutus looked at the mutant and noticed that his voice was very feminine. He looked at the Randi as he walked toward him. His hips moved bizzarely. "Wait, you're a female...." Brutus took a look at her face as she approached, and then the rest of her body. She had no breasts and had a small ponytail. Aside from the voice and hip movement, there was very little you could do to tell she was indeed a female mutant. She wore a tighter suit of light Brahmin leather with fastenings to hold the sheets of hide in plates. The cover all of her skin except her arms and her feet which bore heavy steel toed boots. "Yes." she grunted as she stopped with a frown only a few feet away from Brutus. Brutus stood up and brushed some of the sand off of his body and then looked at her again. "I cant remember the last time i saw a female Mutant.... " "You forget, we fighting!" Brutus held his hands out for a second as she lunged toward him. "Hold! I want to ask you why you're with these raiders. They treat you poorly..... like a slave!" Randi took a moment and thought, which was obviosuly something she wasnt used to. Her bright green eyes met his. "Cuz they tell me too." was her only reply. The chains on her back rattled as she turned around. "Brutus grabbed the chains and yanked on them with all his might, forcing her to the ground. Brutus wraped the chains around her neck and sat on her chest. "You are a coward, and shall die as such!" Randi gasped for air and tryed to pry the chains from her neck, but failed. Stretching her back and legs, she kicked Brutus so hard he fell forward and rolled off of her. Randi jumped up and freed her neck. "I no die easily. Me good fighter! I kill you now!" Brutus recovered and continued the roll until he got to his feet. "I see this....... we shall see who dies this day."
