< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko sighs as she arrives at the gathering spot, settling in on an empty wooden crate. Who again declared her the leader? Actually, nobody. But there the japanese girl was, brushing back the red hair as she pulled a few manila folders from a backpack, handing them and the pictures in them around. "Ok, here we go. The first page is the map to the location. There's a hole in the fencing of the compound where the red dot is. That's in the second photo. One guard patrols that area, but I am not sure what the camera position there is. Last time we went up a drainpipe there to access a window that some of the guards use to smoke. The window is on picture 2, while number three shows the interior from that. Beware, the insides of the building are heavily polluted and the air carries some sort of toxic stench, as I was told. There's at least one guard with gasmask patrolling inside the building. That's the physical side." With a little sound of relief, she nods, completing her part of the briefing.
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
Da-Eun is here, dressed for skullduggery though that's rather normal for her. She's sitting on an overturned trash can, legs swaying slightly back and forth as she reaches out with both hands to accept the offered folder. Her eyes linger on Riko for just a moment before she opens it and begins scanning through the pictures. Her nose scrunches up at the mention of toxic fumes. When she speaks it's with a Korean accent but her English is more than functional, "I did not bring a mask."
< Elle >------------------------------------
The facility is much as it was the previous time. A fence ringing a small warehouse compound consisting of a couple interconnecting buildings. One of the guards is whistling as he patrols at the front, a slightly rotund middle-aged man in a blue uniform with a flashlight.
"With a taste of your lips I'm on aride You're toxic, I'm slippin' under With a taste of a poison paradise I'm addicted to you. Don't you know that I'm toxic?
The guard, a M. Lawry, reaches up to adjust his earbuds. H bumps the door to a small, unmarked building shut with his hip as he patrols. The facility is always fairly well-lit, even at night, but there are numerous dark spots between buildings of brick and corrugated steel.
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
Da-Eun doesn't know the others here very well and she's not inclined to try to run rough shod over anyone else's plan. She looks towards Riko, the Fox that seemed to have arranged this shindig and waits for directions or permission, whichever comes first.
< Gwen >------------------------------------
Not exactly with the others just yet, but making its way in that direction is a rat. Not huge, not tiny. A very average rat. It scurries along, stopping every so often to peek up and see what people and other interesting things are around. Vehicles. Trailers. Narrow pathways where people might bottleneck. Interesting things.
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily the Fire Lord is here. She looks over the pictures of the places, "If we knock the walls down or blow a hole in the ceiling then no one has to breath in the toxic fumes. Though do we need to go inside? We can set the place on fire from outside?"
< Memnon >-----------------------------------
Memnon heard through the grapevine something was going on and came to help out. He looks over the information present then waits to see what the plan is. Memnon is mostly silent, being the new comer here he does not want to upset the coordination other mights have with each other.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore flies into the area and once upon a crate, she shifts into her homid form, stretching her arms and legs out as she lists. Soon standing up and walking over to study over the map as well as the photos. She remains quiet for now, just listening. She is wearing her usual all black outfit with her hair currently up in a messy bun given there is work to be done. Her hands dipping into her backpack and taking out a few black ski masks, "I have extras should anyone need one." She rests them down next to the map and photos, taking one of herself of course. To the new arrivals, she offers an upnod of hello before looking back to Riko.
< Riko >------------------------------------
"Well, there shuld be some info in the file from the hacker... and... well, it's not my mission, I just was there scouting. Once we're done with the photos... please, burn them in the bin over there. We can't have them found, it would be bad for us." Riko smiles as she points to an oil drum that should keep the fire contained and low. Then, taking one of the masks from Lenoreshe nods. "So, who wants to take the lead?"
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
Da-Eun looks at the photos again and then will drop them into the drum that Riko is indicated. She's quiet for a moment more and then asks, "Sorry, I get confused sometimes. Is this a 'kill everything that moves' type job or are we looking for something specific here?" There are masks on offer from Lenore and Da-Eun will smile to the bird, holding out a hand to accept one if it's offered.
< Elle >------------------------------------
"Destroy all the chemicals, kill anyone who gets in the way," someone pipes up.
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily looks around the room, "Did anyone bring explosives? Well some of the chemicals stored there might work for that sort of thing as well. If we are just creating destruction to get the police come, that is easy enough." She will take a mask as well.
< Gwen >------------------------------------
Noted by the rat are the things that might be able to go boom, both as a distraction and perhaps as a more damaging affair. Most of the things inside the fence. Not one to rush in, plans start to formulate in her little head as she continues on her way towards where the others are rumored to have been gathering.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore smiles to Da-Eun, easily handing over the ski mask. She offers a nod before she responds, "I can try and keep post, let out a warning caw for when they get close. I am not much good in a fight." She looks to Lily and offers a nod, "That is indeed true. We could find bottles and perhaps makeshift some moltov cocktails with the chemicals inside. I have some lighters in my bag I can loan out as well. She notices the rat, bending down and offering a flat hand out to Gwen to climb up on should she chose.
< Memnon >-----------------------------------
Memnon takes one of the black mask offered then puts his gloves on. He looks Lenore way, "I am decent in a fight." He shakes his head to Lily, "Explosives are not really my thing, so no I did not bring any."
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
The mask is handed over and she slips it over her face, looking around a bit to make sure that it doesn't hinder her vision before she looks off towards the facility itself. "I.. don't know how to use explosives. Yet. It's on my list of things to figure out. But I'm sure that the chemicals will burn and maybe explode?"
< Riko >------------------------------------
"Neither did I think of explosives, but I guess the stuff reeks to heavens, so it might as well burn." Riko prepares her Balaclava, the lower hem still pulled up, before she checks her backpack again to pull out a shortsword of sorts. A sharpened wakizashi from training cutting mats, just relieved of its Tsuba and now getting stuffed into the back of the belt of her black jeans. "I can handle myself a little, but... I bet you're better. As far as I know, those are humans guarding the place, though they might be tainted like hell."
< Gwen >------------------------------------
The rat looks at the hand, then up to the one holding it out, but doesn't climb. Instead she makes sure that there is room for her to shift, then looks around to see if there are any other witnesses before shifting to her homid form. "No. Nononono. The booms and the chemicls might be a bad mix. Hit the gas cars. They get all 'splody. Then the oil-burn trucks. Oil. Oil...Diesel. yes. They burn, but not so 'splody. Chemicals. Could, 'slpde. Could burn. Could gas. Dunno the chemicals." SHe reaches in to her satchel and pulls out what looks to be a very complicated molotov cocktail with a blinking red light. "This one is a foosher."
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily draws her blade, a dagger made of steel burnt black with a handle made of weaver silk dyed red with blood. She shifts to her crinos rat form and raises her blade above her head. "Kill them all and set anything that burn to flames! Fire is the domain of the wyld and the explosions will destroy the place! Duck quickly and avoid getting too close, we will be fine."
< Gwen >------------------------------------
The young woman with the bomb tilts her head, "Rushers gonna rush, guess. Make a car blow up on one side. They scurry there. Make one go on the other side, they scurry more. The a fire somewhere else. Gets lots of attention. Boom. People confused. Boom. People distracted. Boom. Smoke gets alot of attention. SNeak in with chaos."
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
There's a rat in their war form and Da-Eun follows suit. Which, sadly, means that mask isn't going to do much good. She removes it first though to leave it sitting on the drum as she shifts up into Crinos. She's... a skinny werewolf. Scrawny really, but still a werewolf. She has a wicked sharp dagger in her right hand with a bone handle. If one looks closely the dagger seems to have a silver glimmer to it. She'll still sneak along though, surpsingly sneaksy even in her warform. The first guard she comes across isn't going to have a good time though.
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko sighs a moment at the sudden shifts, offering Lenore an arm to ride if needed. "Ok, seems like we are preparing to go in rather loud... or... in the cover of loud. Let's see if we can get to the paking lot across the place silently?" Nodding to the rat with her bomb, she checks the time. "I'm counting on you knowing what you do. I can only stitch a handfull of you together again, and only if you prevent them from killing me first."
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore shifts back down into her raven form and happily accepts the arm, perching upon it and going in with Riko. She bops her head yes a few times, signalling she is ready.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore flies off of Riko's arm and goes to deal with the known cameras, pulling out the wires with ease and soon returning to Riko's arm and using voice of the mimic to say in human "Cameras are handled. Should be good."
< Gwen >------------------------------------
The bomber rat does her thing, moving first to a truck on one end of the lot, and after a little trouble with the timer, sets the first bomb to go off on the gas tank. After which she shifts again and runs as fast as her little legs will carry her across to the other side of the parking lot through the vehicles to set the next timed bomb. Note to self. Remote detonators next time. After that she'll move towards the building to see what might be a good place for one of her remaining two Fooshers.
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko pulls down her mask as she advances, the bird on the arm. And slightly shifting in figure. Which, truth to be told, wasn't much for a fox. Partly because she only got to near human. And because foxes weren't all that much taller in what constituted as their warform either. "Ok... let's wait for the boom..." she whispered to Lenore as she hid in the shadow of a dumpster, brushing over the head of the bird.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore nuzzles up against Riko's hand petting her and bobs her head twice, agreeing with the waiting for the boom. She easily hides in the shadows, her beady eyes carefully watching around as well, making sure no one gets the jump on them.
< Elle >------------------------------------
After a couple of minutes, the ground rumbles and the sky is alight in the glow of red flame. A container truck erupts in a ball of lambent fury just as an older man crouches besidde it to check underneath.
"DOn't you know that your tox-"
M. Lawry is no more, incinerated in the explosion as it spreads to the nearby other trucks, which smoulder in the lot. If they had been full, it may have taken out the whole facility. Even now, the entire place is awake in an instant as the remaining two guards sprint for the lot to see what happened.
< Gwen >------------------------------------
First one down. Three minutes until the next. The little Twitch-Boom starts towards where the other are, stying out of people's way as they start to rush. To her it's not about the killing. It's about the exciting stuff, like explosions, noise and fire. The finer things in life.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore uses her voice of the mimic to speak to Riko, "There is a security console on the second story of one of the offices and it reads emergency."
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily sneaks into the the area and appears behind one of the guards in the darkness of the night. She reaches around grabs his head as she slices her blade across his neck, letting the blood run free.
< Memnon >-----------------------------------
Memnon spots his target and easily sneaks in behind the guard and chops his head off his neck.
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
Da-Eun is ready to pounce, ready to launch herself at one of the guards but.. the rat and the cat are faster than her. That's fine though. She turns and scurries quickly off towards the door that they had come through. <OOC> Elle says, "It doesn't matter that much unless there's a reason it should."
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko nods to Lenore, but for the moment, she waits for the other ambushers to finish their job. "Consider that one gutted." She whispers, giving the others a few more moments, before she follows them in through the hole, speeding her feet towards the entry so she can get up to the security console. A console she'd like to destroy to get rid of any evidence. "So much for going in quiet."
< Elle >------------------------------------
The guards are down in an instant. Putrid, greenish smoke is washing over the parking lot, the whole building, coming dwon atop the shifters as they exact their bloody-minded vengeance for Gaia. It is cloying and stick to the fur and in the sinuses of anyone who dares to be present... The main building is awash in the red glow, looking sickly and vile as Lenore flits past the security window again.
EMERGENCY... EMERGENCY....
The light continues to flash insistently. At least all of the camera screens are off.
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko is caught by the wave of the green stuff, and... well, if Werewolfs heal away a cut in seconds and burn through alcohol like it's water... then Kitsune? Well, they do neither. Even Lenore might be better off, and she was a bird... Because the stuff really throws up the nose, brns out the sinuses, then settles straight in the stomach to make the dinner boil. In a gutwrenching moment, she holds her stomach, the next the hand moves to try and cover her mouth, only to pull the ski mask up a split second later as she bends over to relieve the pain the gas was giving her belly, to try and get it out of her again. Not that that was helping much, but it seemed to dull the pain.
< Memnon >-----------------------------------
Memnon is able to cover his mouth and squint his eyes to avoid the toxins, he looks back to make sure everyone else is okay and able to move, if they are he will leave the area.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore starts flapping her wings in disgust from the toxic fumes and begins to regeritate up her food. Those poor cookies and sushi now no longer in the poor raven's stomach. Thankfully none of it got on poor Riko.
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
Da-Eun's nose scrunches up and she shakes her head, snorting a few times as the noxious fumes hit her. She takes it fairly well though, annoyed more than anything. The longer they wait the worse it will get and they're already here. She pushes into the building without any fanfare. There are chemicals to burn. Though.. where she will get the fire?
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily eyes water and turn blood shot and she coughs heavily but she doesn't let that stop her from advancing. She has smelled even worse down in the sewers. She looks around for the next guy that needs stabbing or something that looks like it might make a big boom.
< Gwen >------------------------------------
The little rt ets a whiff of the air and proceses for a few moments. Before squealing out in rodent glee. <Gas Gas Gas. Find it and big Boom. So much boom. Sky fire. Lots of Lights.> Yes, the eyes burn and the throat is sore, but the little Rat has her next goal.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore uses Voice of the Mimic to shout, "Incoming, we have two SUVs incoming. I repeat we have company. We have company! They are coming in fast!" She is wildly flapping her wings.
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko was just about to wipe the puke from her chin as she looked up again, her eyes narrowing together. "All things in helll," she muttered, fighting herself onto rather shaky feet. Even if inhaling deeper sent another wave of nausea through her, she had to do so to get the needed air so she could shout the two words that should get the others on edge. "Bane incoming!" Her hand points to the warehouse where she spotted something, her eyes teared from the gaseous stuff. But still... she must press on to try and do her part. Up the stairs, and then into... which direction exactly? Eh... about... that way?....
< Gwen >------------------------------------
And the little rat starts to scamper towards the warehouse from which she smells the most fun, re explosive, of the chemicals. The being the smallest of the ground creatures currently and with the green gas covering, she doesn'tt rely so myuch on the pretense of stealth at this moment.
< Elle >------------------------------------
As everyone runs toward the Banes, the squealing of tires becomes louder and louder. The group stands opposite this sludgy monster that seems to roll more than actually walk across the ground. It might be animate pitch, such is the darkness of it. And the stench... Lily ignites the ground and the fire travels right toward the thing, wrapping around it. It bulges and grows, and then it bursts like a bubble, overheated air and bits of flaming sludge going in all directions.
Riko runs toward the security room meanwhile, and a dauntless rat has entered warehouse three.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore uses Voice of the Mimic again to call out, "Fuck! We have 4 SUVs I repeat 4 SUVs and they are coming for different intersections now! Please hurry! And there is a tiny blond woman in dark clothes hiding out by the street gate. Pretty sure I know her! But still hurry up!!!"
< Gwen >------------------------------------
Unaware of the flaming bane, Twitch-Boom continues to run towards the building so that she can make things in the factory worse. Or in her opinion better. She looks around for anyone or anything watching, trying to keep out of sight before shifting to plant her bombs.
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily decides everything looks flammable but there isn't enough fire yet, so she will set something on fire. Just then the bane comes out and the fire rushes to it and it explodes. She ducks as flaming goop just misses her head.
< Memnon >-----------------------------------
Memnon is ready to fight the gas bane till it suddenly explodes. The massive lion is able to dodge all the fiery goop that splashes down on the ground from the air.
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko fights herself on wonky feet through the container maze, but finally the sought for door is there. Security. With a fit of caughing she tests the door, flinching as she finds it locked. And no tools - or skill - to open that door. Biting her lower lip, she unsheathes her Wakizashi, and a moment later she rams the hilt down into the window that opened to the hallway she stood on. With the high shril sound typical to shattering glass, it gives way, and a few taps later she climbs through the newly made opening, searching for the computers and recording devices with her eyes. Those... need to go.
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
Bane, sludge, fire? Da-Eun's eyes go wide as the fire spreads to the bane and she almost comedically holds her hands up as she howls out "Nuuuuuu!" The gloop splashes on her fur and she immediately catches on fire. With a howl of surprise she drops to the ground and begins rolling around, trying to put it out as she barks and howls.
< Gwen >------------------------------------
Shifting to get human form, Gwen places one of her remaining bombs in the place where it is likely to do the most damage. Satisfied with that, she figures that two and a half minutes will be enough to get her out. With that, back to her natural form and starting to scamper out once again. As she does, she keens, the situation threatening enough to call for it.
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko finally spots what she's aiming for, and while sheathing her sword, starts to yank the tape from its deck and pry a few meters of the thin foil out of it before stuffing the bundle into the cubboard with the other tapes. Then comes the lighter from the pocket. Twice the stone turns sparking but on the third, the flame lights, connecting with the bundle of highly flameable thn plastic in more sturdy plastic containers. A blaze just waiting to happen. One that quickly adds its own, heavy black smoke as Riko climbs out of the security room again, caughing again as she tries her best to get down to where she left the others.
< Elle >------------------------------------
The bomb's timer ticks down ominously as Gwen places it beside a fuel valve near the processing plant.
The scream of electronics dying and sparks flying echoes around Riko in the security room.
The howl of Da-Eun as she rolls about, trying to put out the fire surrounding her.
The squawked warnings of Lenore.
It all goes down at once, a cacophony that fills the complex and choes to the night sky. The smoke is starting to dissipate but it is far from gone, cloaking everything in a sickly green film, punctuated by bursts of red flame.
The SUVS come screeching around the corner, full to the brim of men and women bristling with guns and armor. First teams, ready to kill and trained for battle. As they enter the complex a small shape runs out in front of them. Look out, that young woman is about to be mowed down by a car! The First Teamers hit the gas, and the girl flashes them an ursine smile.
The car's alarm is triggered somehow, along with the air bags, when contact comes. The first Vehicle is popped upward into a flip as the girl becomes an enormous bear underneath its wheels, fifteen feet long with white fur and ridiculous claws. The car is thrown into the second SUV, and screams follow as it smashes and rolls into the nearest warehouse. The warehouse explodes with both of the vehicles having ruptured a fuel tank in the collision. A couple injured soldiers try to crawl free of the burning wreckage.
The third and fourth car use the side entrance, and people pile out of them, six in total, to rush toward the gathered Fera.
< Gwen >------------------------------------
Twitch-Boom comes running out as fast as her little legs can carry her. The keening warning replaced a squeaking that only another rat would likely recognize. <Boom soon. Fast, fast, fast run. Big bada boom.> After that she is more quiet, navigating through what is left of the parking lot to make her escape.
< Riko >------------------------------------
A fire behind her, a fire on the grund floor where the... thing died, green smoke to add to that and crashing cars the way she ran to? Still everything better than stopping and trying to breath the air that was trying to choke her. Air that wasn't getting much better by running to the stairs, but Riko pulled through, the lungs burning as she clung to the handrail of a stair down, feet tracing back the way she had come.
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily leads the charge towards the enemies. He slams into the first guy and shoves her dagger deep into his chest and blood spills across the ground as she pulls it out. She takes another swipe but her blade deflects off some armor. She ducks down as some bullets shoot past her head.
< Memnon >-----------------------------------
Memnon runs at and attacks one of the first team members, biting him several time till he is dead. Memnon does not get the chance to enjoy his victory, several bullets from gunfire rip into his body.
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko skids down the tar covered track towards the fight once she hit the ground, her shoes fighting for traction on the green tinted black product of wyrm chemistry and crushed rock. As she finally stumbles,
< Riko >------------------------------------
Riko skids down the tar covered track towards the fight once she hit the ground, her shoes fighting for traction on the green tinted black product of wyrm chemistry and crushed rock. As she finally stumbles, it is luckily just where she wants to get, skidding to a halt right behind a dumpster that is much closer to the battle that is rapidly shifing in their way. Not the most elegant landing per se, but one that gets her into cover nevertheless...
< Da-Eun >-----------------------------------
If Da-Eun didn't get her dagger into at least one of them all the other Furies would laugh at her. She launches forward, past the rat and cat duo that have been dealing and taking most of the damage, to drive her silver blade into the gut of one of the shooters. She twists the blade and rips it out to the side. Ouch.
< Lily >------------------------------------
Lily looks to the man trying to flee like a coward and stabs him in the back. She turns back to face the others, dodge to the left to avoid several bullets but one hits her in the shoulder.
< Gwen >------------------------------------
The little rat continues to run, obviously the security team is distracted by the the things trying to murder them. But once she is a good ways from the action she'll slow down and get in to some cover, just in case. Then she'll watch. Not the Fight, but instead the building that is prepped to blow. That's the whole reason for coming. Homemade fireworks.
< Lenore >-----------------------------------
Lenore uses the voice of the mimic to speak in human, "We have Rescue crews about give minutes out!" She begins to fly around and repeat that over where everyone is before flying back up to her perch to keep her beady little eyes out for more things.
< Memnon >-----------------------------------
Memnon recovers a little from the gunfire then once again pounces upon another first-team member biting him till he is dead.
< Elle >------------------------------------
The groan of metal buckling is audible even as the battle against the First Team down. Both Lily and Memnon are riddled full of bullet holes but it only causes them to explode into furious slashes of claws, knife, and fang. With most of the First Team in pieces on the ground, the other two turn and begin to flee. They sprint at full speed toward the main entrance, moving faster than any human possibly should.
With a tremendous, ground-shaking roar, the three thousand-pound bipedal white bear manages to haul her prize into the air. An enormous delivery truck, packages tumbling out of the back as it is raised. The First Team soldiers have just enough time to scream before the truck smashes into them and splatters them as so much paste across the pavement.
The team flees the complex as it burns. Behind them, the entire place erupts in a massive conflagration as explosions ignite the fuel tanks in a chain reaction that levels the whole building. And buildings next to it, as well as starting a massive Industry Town fire.
