Welcome to Beacon: Next (RP Thread)

Dia then knew that the team were at their destination, and retrieved her glowing crystal, placing it back in her bag. She held on tightly to Spear!Corona. "Leader, what do we do? We can't be here for too long... the Fathom is going to be attracted to this cramped space if we keep here."

Zoe's eyes lit up and she smiled widely while nodding.

"Was gonna try and do that anyway but sure! Icecream is awesome!"

Aquarium of Vale - Penguin Habitat

"LEAVE THE BIRDS ALONE, YA BASTARD!"

Gage was not a believer in subtlety. If he had been, he would not be there, as part of a team of Hunters in training, wielding a weapon right out from an old live action TV show.

With a vicious kick, he broke the gap open and charged into the fake tundra. Somewhere above him, the modified Beacon locker crashed through after him. Gage brandished his Scroll.

"Henshin!"

"Chained King, unbind!"

He rammed the Scroll home into the belt. The locker burst open to reveal the pieces of armor which had begun to fit themselves on Gage's body. The lines on his armor glowed their bright colors, and he realized he was wielding a gun that looked like the front end of a motorcycle.

"Well.. This is all new..." But he turned and pointed to the ray-like beast menacing a flock of the waddling birds. "Hey, you ragged bastard! Pick on something else with a bite!"

"I guess it's time to go, then."

Dia had exited the tunnel after Gage, into the fake tundra. She saw the rather frightened flightless birds, and found them pretty cute.

And of course, her presence here would mean that the Fathom would be coming right for her. It's a good thing she was on relatively dry land and had mobility... even though the ice may be a bit problematic.

Dia then turned to Gage with a smile. "That's a nice armor there, Gage. Fits you, just like the other time I saw you with it."

Finally, Dia got ready in a fighting stance as she twirled Corona around. "I'm here. Come and get me if you want to."

Crushed plans

Suzune just kind of mumbled a bit of stuff that would not likely be comprehensible to any one not extremely gifted with programming before looking to the rest of her team "Alright, which one are we going after, and please don't say the Gigabolt"

Well, so much for STEALTH.

James was about to give the order, only for Gage to shout out at the top of his lungs and give them away completely and with both Dia and Fe racing after him, he sighed.

...Sort of like...lemmings. ...well, at least that s-should give me enough time to...

The human tried to swing Sunset, although the feature he was hoping for didn't seem to trigger or activate. Giving another frustrated sigh, he leapt out of the vent, landed on his feet and rushed to the panicked people as the team started getting into position.

"A-Alright, anyone s-seriously hurt?"

"James' team went for Fathom and Suzune's is probably unfit to fight the Gigabolt due to the sheer amount of tech within." Raggy sighed, glancing at the map.

"This means we're going for the Knifehead or assist in the evacuation."

Vents

Rokoko pushed herself along narrow metal passageways as if she were in zero-g, or close enough, using her aura powered suit to buoy herself. She checked and rechecked her visor-scroll to make sure she was going in the right direction and headed for the former holding tank of the monsters.

Dumb Ass ho!

Fe jumped down after her teammates. She look around the room, She clock the spot where the Fathom is. She then rise her fist and wait for orders.

Lena's Support Team

"Alright, we'll go the opposite way and loop around. You guys keep the Grimm busy. I'll signal you if something goes wrong." Lena reminded them one last time.

"Alright, follow me."

Lena opened the door to the backway and gestured for Quartz and Rokoko to trail behind her.

Using her Semblance, she found the quickest path towards where the guards lay unconscious.

"Okay...what's in here?"

Diana: With James and Co

The cat faunus firmed her resolve as she took out a metal cube from her bag. She hadn't used her weapon for a long time.

"Angelus, activate." she commanded. The cube expanded, becoming a harness and torso armor that Diana put on. From the back of the harness, wings of light sprang forth, made from her Aura. Diana snapped on the final part of Angelus, the silver gauntlets. The left gauntlet emitted light, forming a small round shield made of Aura.

Angelus. Made by her mother.

Diana nodded. "Okay, I'm ready."

She followed James and his team, keeping to the rear.

Jades

Beth frowned. "....Huh. Not the reaction I was going for. Although, I kinda get it. Okay, go for it. Prove yourself. I'll just watch. But if it gets too much for you..."

Samuel nodded to Zoe, before turning to Johann.

"Alright. For some reason Dia's team went off to fight the Fathom. There's still two more types of Grimm we need to kick the ass of. Which one is it, sir?"

SSMR

Scarlet began slowly spinning her chain as Raggy spoke. "As your second I recommend we go Knifehead. We need to make sure all the Grimm are distracted while people are being evacuated. Besides, it's been a while since I've had a good fish fry."

"Honestly, if you want to eat that, our prospects look grim indeed." Raggy chuckled, putting the grimoire on his shoulder, then reaching into his coat to get out what seemed to be a pool cue.

"Knifehead it is. Let's give it hell."

Aquariam And Whatnot:Operation Planner Johann

Jo sighed, he wanted to actually evacuate the civillians, he doubted Relena's team was enough, but eh, he didn't really have time to choose a different job. Everyone is already planning something, he needed to get his team on the move already. The young prince turned toi the two of them, pinched the temple of his nose and spoke.

"Well... The only one left is that Gigabolt. Do you two have insulators? if it uses electricity we'll need... Somehow kept dry strong as hell insulators to take on his attacks, I have one under my armor, otherwise I wouldn't survive being in that. It should be tight enough to keep it dry, however I worry about you two taking on something underwater that can shock you from afar without anything to protect you"

Rescue

"Hold on, boss lady your majesty!" Rokoko disengaged from the vent and swooped down to follow behind Quartz and Lena. She squated down behind both of them, grabbed her teammates around the thighs from behind and lifted them both on her shoulder!

"KAAA!" She shouted, tensing up briefly before she shot off down the hall pass, following Lena's instruction to make the short path even shorter.

Zoe glanced around and looked down at her usual business suit garb.

"I am pretty sure I do not have insulation in here, would some wellies work cause there's probably a pair or two around?"

Knifehead Bout To Get Dead

"Selene clashed her blades together in preparation, eager to get going. "This ought to be fun. And honestly, I agree with Scarlet. I could go for some food."

Pretty Penguins Protecting.

James had caught a glimpse of Diana and that cube...and an even briefer gaze of her Magical Girl transformation weapon and wings of light before he'd scrambled into the vents, oblivious that she had actually tagged along.

Of course, that was then. The now was him racing to the civilians, helping them to their feet and asking if they were okay as the penguins seemed to be surprisingly calm. Well, aside from one running around in circles, flailing it's flippers like arms.

"R-Right, l-let's...get you a-all out of here..."

Now Beginning Planning Phase

"Negatory, sir. I don't have any insulators. What I can do is empty into the Gigabolt from afar, I've set the Shatterstens for extra power output to compensate for light scatter in water. It'll be more effective than ballistics. I just hope this thing can take the extra heat from firing. If not I may have to dunk them into the water to cool them off, might risk getting electrocuted."

He didn't seem to be talking about how it was threatening the Shatterstens themselves. But neither did he seem to care.

Ray bait

Dia had turned around to catch a small glimpse of Diana and her transformation. (Well... that's something new I've seen today... At least I know that she's here to protect us.)

Dia had begun twirling her spear and periodically tapping the "ice" under her to attract the attention of the Fathom. She had a bit of fear in her... but the rest of her feeling was courage and resolve. With her team and Diana protecting her, she was more confident at confronting the Fathom this time around. (I have my friends here with me. What have you got?)

She watched James rescue the penguins. (Aww, that's cute. I hope they can all be saved...)

Knife to the head

Marvin took a deep breath. "Save the civilians first, I'll hang back and get them out..." He looked up at the rest of the squad. "...but if it gets dicey, head to the surface and get out so I can use my semblance, alright?" he asked.

Aquarium of Vale - Penguin Habitat

Seeing the cat Faunus' armor take shape, Gage, looking through the compound eyes of the Chained King, flashed her the horns, the universal sign of 'that's a kickass thing you got'.

Even with the Fathom turning in their direction and starting to stalk in a circular pattern, he brought his new weapon◊ up to his eye level.

It looked like someone had taken the front end of a motorcycle and attached the butt of a pistol to it. The wheel part was lacking a form of tire. But it was matt-black with the same red, green, and yellow Dust lines running over its shell like the King did and was also reassuringly heavy.

But when he squeezed the trigger (the smaller one, there appeared to be two), the delinquent realized that it seemed stuck. Gage pointed it at the Fathom and tried again. It was definitely stuck.

"Oh, poop," he muttered as he brought it closer to his eyes. "How do you into guns?"

Aquarium: Get Protection, Kids

Johann shot a silent, vacant look that lasted for a few seconds but felt like an eternity at Zoe.

"... Zoe, you need to protect your whole body, unless you want a shock straight to the heart while underwater, wellies are nowhere near good enough. Sam, just in case you'll need to get in the water too..." The prince sighed and picked one of his pockets, grabbing what seemed like a small piece of protective clothing layered with a small bit of dust.

He put one in his left hand, grabbed the other with his right hand and offered them to both his teammates.

"This is what I use underneath my armor, I carry several in case one malfunctions, they can change size so you two should be capable of using them. You're gonna need a way to keep them dry though. Zoe, grab some wetsuits and wellies to keep your feet dry, they're bound to have some here, go search in the security offices. Grab a set for you and Sam, just in case we'll need him to swim as well. That should be enough, as long as we end this quickly" He looked at Sam and then pinched the temple of his nose. Trying to think if he has a solution to the heat problem.

"I don't have any heat sinks for a laser gun. Or, your gun anyway. Eh... Shit. Well, we're gonna have to deal with the risk. If it gets damaged, I'll build an extra one for you eh?" He said and chuckled. "Just don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. Got it?"

Don't Be Silly, Wrap Your Willy

Samuel took the offered piece of protective clothing, nodding his thanks for the donation. Upon hearing that Johann had no heat sinks for his weapon, he shrugged.

"Honestly, I can accept a maintenance cycle being a few days earlier. Or something melting and me having to chisel it off with a shovel. If the people in there get saved, and that Gigabolt bites it, it'll have been worth it. I'll try to keep myself out of danger, sir."

Zoe nodded and took the protective layer.

"Alright, I'll go do that boss!"
