Rando Smuggles for Ponda
Posted: Aug 4 2011, 01:50 AM Forum BATTLES View full topic
“Are you the one they sent to get the box? Not the most... conspicuous choice? I wonder if that old slug his loosing his edge.” A small birdlike being chirped to Rando, the sentient pile of muscle that had been sent to smuggle a package from outside Khundas into one of its many cantinas. The bird was not liking this plan at all, and making its opinion known. “Oh whatever. Just take the damn-” The bird's line was cut short due to a sudden case of squished. Rando lifted his massive hand and wiped the gooey remains on his thigh. “Pigeon talk too much.” An hour later, Rando found himself at the entrance to Khuldas. In one hand, he carried a large briefcase. In the other, a pair of drumstick. As the late avian suggested, Rando was stopped by a town guard shortly after crossing the border. “Excuse me sir what do you have there?” The guard asked, nudging the briefcase with his foot. Rando didn't reply, instead he took a large bite from his drumstick, splashing bloody juices in the guard's face. “Criminal scum.” the guard mumbled, wiping the fluid from his face. Fellow guards began to take notice, and a crowd was starting to form around the pair. More confident in his position, the guard flexed his chest and spoke again “What's in the case?” Rando took another bite of his drumstick, this time claiming most of the bone alongside the meat. The guard drew his weapon, prepared to force his question. Rando dropped the rest of his drumstick. He placed the briefcase in front of the guard and continued to chew. “Open it.” the guard ordered. “Talk to much.” Rando smiled before his palm came crashing down on the guard's head, crushing his helmet into his skull, killing him instantly. The crowd began to panic, civilians ducking for cover as guards drew their weapons and charged. Rando turned and spotted a vehicle similar to a car. Gripping the door, he pried it loose of its fixtures and turned to the guards. “Heavy is train!” Rando roared as he raced forward, smashing the door into the charging guards. A quick Benny Hill scene later, and Rando found himself entering one of the many cantinas, briefcase still in tow. In the corner, Ponda, the slug who hired Rando, was entertaining a large walrus like being. The two obese belly riders were enjoying a good laugh when Rando dropped the briefcase between them. “Ah. Package delivered on time. Good good.” Ponda opened the briefcase, revealing a nude male humanoid stuffed inside in some form of stasis. “Mint condition. Will make an excellent navigator. I prefer the female versions myself, the male ones have less of a shelf life.” the walrus oozed over the contents. “My friend will take it from here. Go have a drink at the bar, I'll be over to pay you shortly.” Ponda shooed Rando away so he could finish business negotiations. Rando turned to face the bar, only to fall backwards, landing on top of both the slug and walrus creatures. Rando's Extreme Durability allowed him to ignore the pain from the fight, but the effects were only temporary, and when they caught up, they caught up with a vengeance. The pile of muscle cooed like an infant, having found the softest bed in the house. Outcome: Mission Completed. Rando: 5EXP, 5Fame, 3-Damage, +1Rep Ponda

CD-1001 Ambushes Rock Katai
Posted: Aug 4 2011, 01:11 AM Forum BATTLES View full topic
“Ugh. Why do I wake up in a new world every other week. Can't the cosmos just stay in one place for a change?” Rock Katai mumbled to himself. He had awoken the night before to find himself on a strange new world. He couldn't quite remember what had happened before, but he remembered being on a lush world riddled with bizarre aliens, and had vague memories of another world filled with giant fighting robots before that. The more Rock thought, the more he wondered if he had just been drugged or fell down some stairs. It made more sense than hopping dimensions as frequently as he changed his pants, after all. Rock found himself now on a small island inhabited by numerous creatures he recognized. Unfortunately, he had yet to encounter one capable of communicating with him. As he continued to explore, he came across a firearm laid carelessly on the ground. “Hmm. Free handgun? Wonder if it works?” Rock collected the pistol and began tinkering with the trigger. “Query: Taking something that isn't yours? Answer: Just like a meatbag.” CD-1001, a fellow traveler, traced Rock's movements from behind nearby cover. CD-1001 was unsure what had happened to him, or how he had arrived on this island. Naturally, the most direct course of answer seemed to be to detain the nearest sentient and interrogate it for an explanation. Rock had the dubious honor of being the first. “Supposition: Meatbags can survive gunshot wounds to the back, yes?” The android wondered aloud as he fired. The twin machine cannons of CD-1001 met their mark, tearing holes through the flesh of Rock Katai, chunks of blood and intestines splattering the stones infront of him. Rock screams, as unintelligible as they may have been, were enough to convince CD-1001 to cease hostilities and begin the interrogation. With one machine cannon prepped, the android slowly approached the fallen humanoid. “Statement: Greetings meatbag. My name is CD-1001. Apology: I must admit I do not wish to kill you meatbag, wounding you just seemed the most direct course to facilitate communications and avoid hostilities. Query: This unit was assigned to Order territory, but now finds itself on an uncharted island. How did this happen?” CD-1001 asked his opponent who layed gasping for breath and holding the remains of his intestinal track in place with his hands. CD-1001 noticed the pain his subject was experiencing. “Amused Remark: I did not realize I damaged you so intensely with such a small barrage of fire. I sometimes forget just how fragile you meatbags are.” Despite the anguish, Rock did take note of what the android was saying. It was right, there was no way he should still be conscious, let alone alive, with such an injury. Rolling over to face his attacker, Rock managed a chuckle through the pain. “You're right. We are fragile. But you know what meatbags have that you don't?” Rock coughed with each word. “Condescending Reply: And what is that, my little meatbag?” CD-1001 replied, placing a foot on the wound and cocking its cannon. “Guts.” Rock's eyes drifted to the hand holding his shredded stomach. Before CD-1001 could react, he pulled the trigger to the handgun, unloading an entire clip into the surprised android. Rock grabbed the androids arm with his free hand, using CD's collapse to propel him back to his feet. “Best way to cauterize a wound.” Rock laughed as he scuttled away as fast as he could. “Retraction: It seems I indeed underestimated you meatbag. Correction: But you are still fragile...” CD-1001 fired its machine cannons at the fleeing Rock. His sensors registered the sound of tearing flesh. “Theory: This meatbag seems to stupid to have organized the capture of a unit as skilled as I. Solution: Best to find another meatbag to facilitate communications then continue to terminate hostilities.” Outcome: CD-1001 wins. CD-1001: 5EXP, 5FAME, 2-DAMAGE Rock Katai: 5EXP, 5FAME, 3-DAMAGE

Rhinox Herds Charn

“Ah. It's been a while since I gathered supplies myself.” Samir breathed heavily, inhaling the thick swamp air of Charn. A humanoid, Samir was one of the few residents of Charn willing to greet visitors. Luckily for him, he had found someone willing to assist him in his work. “Yeah yeah yeah.” Rhinox, the android rhinoceros, strolled alongside Samir. “Just don't try to ride me this time.” “There we are.” Samir extended his arm to halt the pair. Before them stood another individual working on what appeared to be a small radio. “I thought we were gathering local wildlife specimens.” Rhinox inquired. “We are.” Samir smiled, raising his rifle. “Wait, what are you-” Rhinox's statement was cutoff when Samir pulled the trigger, landing a bullet into the back of the individual. Samir then winked at Rhinox, and disappeared from sight. The individual survived the surprise attack, turning to spot Rhinox standing alone. Reacting rather than thinking, the individual fired an energy weapon from its wrists. The blast nailed in his face, sending the beast to the ground. “Maximize!” Rhinox groaned, transforming into his standard, humanoid combat mode. The individual continued to fire, forcing Rhinox to respond in kind with his own Chainguns. Before the fight could escalate further, an explosion filled the air, and the gunfire stopped. Rhinox rose back to his feet. Brushing the swamp water clean of his wounds, he spotted the individual lying limp, lumped over the end of a staff held by Samir. “Stun Batons. Loud, but great for shorting out pylon equipment. Luckily for us, our friend relied on his armor for life support.” Samir explained, dragging the limp body back to his partner. “Is he dead?” Rhinox transformed back into his beast mode to begin internal repairs. “Not yet. If I get him home soon, I should be able to keep him alive a good while longer. Thanks again for the help. I needed a meatshield.” Samir patted the beast on the head before hoisting his hostage on its back. “You said we were collecting wildlife, not ambushing sentient beings.” Rhinox grumbled. “Depends on your definition of wildlife.” Mission#4 Rhinox Herds Charn Outcome: Mission Complete. Rhinox:5EXP, 5FAME, 3-DAMAGE, +1 REP-SAMIR
