Woot, 1000 posts! The last time I looked for the post number here was when I got 666 a while back...

The pilot of the second Buccaneer comes up on the other side, flying alongside his wingman and the two unidentified fighter craft.

"The big idea is that I don't want you hurt again." She hissed back, poking his stomach as she shifted to her knees. She could smell the strange smoke-like smell again, and had heard shots. So it had a gun too...

"Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time..."

Mitchell winced at the touch.

"Okay, okay! You're stronger than you look, you know."

He'd really have to take a look. He peeked around the corner and saw the gigantic robot moving away.

That was good, then.

He took off his body armour and gingerly rolled up his uniform's shirt.

A dark purple bruise had formed itself in a long line down one side of his body.

"Better than a cut, I guess."


Another helicopter with a white, stylised skull on its bottom drew near; it would need to find a nice stretch to hover and then land in.

Its gunners were roving, making sure that nothing was getting too close.


Nathan looked up again and saw the helicopter.

"Sure like to make an entrance, don't they?" he said.

"Underestimating me?" She grinned, untill she saw his bruise. "Oooh. Nasty. Look, lay down. It's not a deep cut, so I can help." She carefully extracted a vial of blue paste from a pouch. "Your medicine works on me, mine should work on you."

"Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time..."

Mitchell paused.

"What... what is that?"

He instinctively tensed up.


The helicopter finally found a street nearby and began to lazily descend to ground level.

"Numbing salve. Relax. " She uncorked it, and used the cork to spread it over his bruise. "Should leave you with just a light tingle. I can't use it on my leg." She rubbed it into his skin, and poked his stomach again.

This time, instead of a painful ache when she poked it, it was exactly as she said; a light tingling sensation.

Quickly rolling down his uniform and putting his body armour back on, he said "Thanks. I really owe you one."

Just as he finished saying that, Nathan came around the corner.


Nathan had just spotted the Blackhawk, and charged to Anu and Mitchell's position.

"The helo! It's here! You'd better hurry, because who knows when that robot will be back."

We're actually catching up to the original thread. It stopped at 46 pages. I can easily see this one going farther, though.

-Mattias reaches the street, and stops as he hears tires. He lifts his binoculars(they're actually something you can use in-game), and stares at the massive, monstrous machine making its way towards him. He searches his mind for something suitable to say, but eventually gives up. "Oh, crap."-

".. Hello to you too?" she said, looking up from poking Mithcell's battle armor. "You have really hard clothes.." She commented.

((Gurr. Can't think today.))

We all have days like that.

"It's body armour. Helps to stop injuries from being shot. Anyway, I think we'd better get to the helicopter."

With that, Mitchell and Nathan began making their way up to the helicopter.

Amen to that. Actually, I think most days are like that for me.

EDIT: Think I'm gonna logoff now. Hopefully tomorrow will be more interesting.

Nate: "Stay calm. No sudden movements. Just keep flying straight ahead..."

Betty: "Easy for you to say."

Big John: "Just follow his lead. I'll wait back here."

*Nathan Zachary watched the two jets, terrified that they might attack. He knew his one advantage was agility at low velocity. He could easily make it into the city and use the buildings for cover should worse come to worst, but even then, his confidence in his abilities was not high.*

Nate: "At least I've flown in worse conditions..."

"What's a helicopter?" She asks, following after him. She stayed close to him, because she wasn't certain if these people could handle the occasional side-effects of the salve... It retrospect, the fur-growing ingredient to fix burns was probably not going to be good for keeping his skin smooth. She giggled slightly at the thought of him with a random blue fur streak.

With his swords outstretched, Sideswipe barreled down the road after Mattias.

Alright! Exams are over! I should be able to post more frequently now.

Logan breaths a sigh of releif as the robot moves away. He moves over to the rest of the group.

He nods towards Anu's bandaged leg. "You alright?"

Suddenly, a huge, yellow monstrosity bounded out from behind a building. Grabbing Sideswipe in it's claws, it bellowed in rage and elation as it tore the silver Autobot apart.

Pilot:They don't appear to be hostile. We'll go off to the large target now.

ACO:Roger that.

The Buccaneers pull away and fly towards the airship.

With a single bound, Rampage propels himself into the air and fires at the planes, roaring a garbled collection of electronic noises.

Both Buccaneers jump to full afterburner and roll away into different directions.

Pilot 1:Shit what was that?

Observer 1:A... giant robot... I have no idea!

Pilot 2:Jack, looks like you're hit, you're trailing smoke.

Pilot 1:Roger that, engine one oil pressure dropping. I guess I better try and get back to Mother. Navy slang for an aircraft carrier.

One of the two strike fighters breaks of and heads for the carrier, limping home on just one engine.

The robot gathered speed again. Despite its apparent lack of legs, it was fast and deceptively agile. Now it bounded along the rooftops, its jackhammer torso punching huge, shattered holes in the concrete. One of it's hands metamorphosed into some sort of alien firearm- a second volley of energy blasts headed for the Buccaneer's planes.

In an attempt to throw off the pursuer, the Buccaneers head for the coast, swerving like mad and flying as low and fast as safely possible with one of them running on just a single engine.

-"Holy crap!" Mattias cries out as the yellow... thing dismembers his former target  *

. He lifts a shaking finger(he's never seen anything like this before) at it. "You stole my kill." He switches to his RPG launcher, and runs after the hopping machine. "You're mine, Tigger-bot!"-

Rampage bellowed another garbled cry. With a sudden turn, the bounding beast had cleared twenty feet and fell directly in front of Mattias, thrashing it's tread-whips in a frenzy. The garbled cry gave way to something that sounded eerily... like laughing.
