ITT: We Are Our Epic Avatars

-Aside from gunshots and rocket explosions, as the Abrams tanks join in, there is an eerie silence falling-

-If Sunny means the squall created by Yuri, it has ended by now-

Toya: ...I don't think this storm known as "war" is going to let up anytime soon...

Dr. Polaris: "I don't care if your cane's made out of gold, I'll be dead soon once my life support system expires in the morning"

Other Reimu: *After dropping off Miko at the inn, she walks up to Dr. Polaris' head* "......."

-*Near the empty mobile base, two keys are laying around in the sand.*

Adventurer: "Nope... fighting is eternal. Best you can do is cherish the peaceful times."

Wait, where the hell is Price? I read that he was stuck inside the Crawler.

Toya: In that case, you should be rather okay with telling us what's on your mind, yes?

-Notices the keys, and picks one up to inspect it-

-This flies over the town.◊ It makes no noise, but it doesn't drop anything. It flies somewhere off into the distance, not having attacked the town at all, actually.-

Soap and Roach are near a tree some time away from the town, Price is inside the crawler, and Ghost currently resides as ash.

-*A silver alien key gleams in the night. On both sides are ancient proverbs carved in a dead alien language.*

Toya:-Is nonetheless able to read the proves on the key, and attempts to do so, if it hasn't been scratched out or anything like that-

-Mother braces for the impact of whatever is about to come-

Her hat absorbs essentially infinite power in a sphere around itself, so whatever happens Price will survive

-The Adventurer also goes over to the key-

"What do you think it means?"

-Just as the plane is about to recede into the horizon, it drops something. But whatever it drops cannot be made out. A very loud roar suddenly comes into existence: a sonic boom.-

Soap: ...that was a supersonic bomber.

Roach: -watching it-

-*The key itself is indestructible which should clue her that this macguffin is no ordinary key*

Sunny : Do you want to die dood?

Toya: "He who desires everything will lose everything, no exceptions, no mercy."

...This is quite a troublesome thing to be carrying around. I wonder how this silly little lad obtained it...

Yuri:-Hears the boom-

...?

Dr. Polaris: I really don't want, I'm just trying to accept my inevitable fate." *To Toya* "I'm not a silly lad, worm. Your holding one of the eights keys to the ultimate prize of the Great Game."

-Something comes on the radios of everyone-

Radio: This is Bedrock Flight, we have dropped our TDW. Hold tight, this'll be over in a few.

-The airplace was a supersonic bomber. It dropped a tactical nuke over where DOVE is housed. The nuke hits the ground and digs into it until it reaches where DOVE and the factory is held. It detonates, but the effects are not visible yet-

Sunny : We could build you a new body if you don't try to harm people dood.

Toya: The "Great Game"? It does rather sound like something only those with foolish and brainless youth would partake in...what is this game, if I might know?

Adventurer: "I've seen keys like that before in my delves. They're used to hide important things- really important things... but what?"

Wait, so what the hell happened in the Crawler?

Nothing happened in the Crawler. The bomber dropped a nuke on DOVE. And it's got a very small yield and detonated underground, so no damage to anyone but the AI/factory complex.

-Suddenly, there is a monstrously large rumbling and a blinding flash of light coming in the direction of where Dove's base is. And then an huge roar.-

It was orbital striked, and MOA Bed

Metallux : I don't want to know what that was

Dr. Polaris: *To Sunny* "No, I'd rather stay a mad scientist towards the bitter end." *To Toya* "The Great Game, heh, a big event held by play by the most powerful figures in this era. Politicians, warlords, corporate executives, scientist, rich people, you name it. A conflict that all the riffraft shouldn't know at all."

-*The mobile base itself now have a missing dome right, exposing a factory.*

-Captain Awesome pauses in the middle of his drinking binge for a moment as the nuke goes off. Then decides that if he didn't react at all to the battle before, he sure as hell isn't going to start now, and resumes drinking-

-A small mushroom cloud forms on the horizon. DOVE was probably destroyed by the nuke.-

Casey: *stops blanking, I guess*

All this... over a key for a stupid political game?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Sunny : We could still hook you up to life support dood... Just no body dood.
