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.
Locking you up on radar since '09This 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."
Locking you up on radar since '09We'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."-

Ponders too much; thinks too little. Currently goes by Knowlessman.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.

Ponders too much; thinks too little. Currently goes by Knowlessman.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..."
I am a proud member of the Western Federation's Anti-Japan Media Task Force. My work is very important."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.
"Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time..."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.
A different shape every step I take A different mind every step of the lineThe 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.

Formerly known as Crow T. Robot.-"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!"-

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.
