Post by Venator (Hakuna Matata!) on Aug 15, 2004 14:10:53 GMT -5
Lost in his grief, Venator still dimly hears the exchange between L7 and Mirage. Although it takes several full seconds for his CPU to digest the true importance of it, Venator pushes his grief away, channelling it into the pent up rage that he's nurtured and hidden for untold millions of years.
Slowly getting to his feet, he moves towards Mirage, a look of absolute murderous rage etched like a deathmask on his face.
As he approaches, Mirage sees the Renegade and only intensifies the smirk on his face, secure in his belief that L7 won't let anything happen to him. That belief lasts all of a nanosecond as Venator brushed L7 aside and punches Mirage with all of his rage fuelled strength.
As the traitor falls to the ground and looks up, fuel leaking from his nose, a quizzical look crosses his features, until, that it, Venator's energon sheathed talons slash at his torso and arms. As the Renangade lands blow after blow after blow, all Mirage can hear is one word. A word the the hysterical Renegade interrogator keeps shouting again and again and again in a continuous loop.
[glow=teal,2,300]Why.whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy why?"[/glow]
As the shocked Renegades look on, Venator starts flensing the armour plates off of Mirage, revealing servos, fuel lines and circuitry. Caught in a paroxysm of pain, Mirage is helpless as Venator goes ballistic. Several of his colleagues try to restrain him but it's like trying to hold back a tempest: Utterly futile.
The hail of blows, cuts and surgical slashes lasts for around 10 minutes. As Ventor's rage finally dissipates he falls to his knees, and then to the floor, his CPU having shut down to avoid being overwhelmed by the tidal wave of grief and anger flowing through Venator's consciousness.
As the other Renegades cautiously move forwards they see a pile of debris that doesn't resemble anything like a robot. The only feature of Mirage still untouched is his face plate, it's features caught forever in a look of absolute shock and pain.

[glow=blue,2,300]Sharpshot looked hesitantly at Mirage's face. Even after the monsters Trailbreaker as holding off, a savage act as Venator's was not something that could be stomached easily. Yet he soon came back to his sense. "Latryx, we lost Skystreaker to those things. We need to get him fast, or we may not get to him at all."[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,000]"Thats not all we have to do. There are thousands of zombies in here. We could never fight them all off. Sharpshot go, the rest of you back this way. Me and officer Indelible have work to do."[/glow]

Maverick nods to L7. [glow=blue,2,000]"Ok, lets get going!"[/glow]
The renegades begin to back up and Trailbreaker backs away from the zombies with his shield still up. The zombies then start to consume whats left of Mirage.
Venator has picked up the rest of Aerie's body to take with him.
Soon everyone takes off. Sharpshot goes to find Skystreaker, L7 and Indelible in one direction and everyone else towards the hanger bay in an effort ti escape the base through an old tunnel hatch.

[glow=White,2,300][/glow]*No sooner had Latyrx barked commands then a few zombies started charging them..
Indelible stored his gun as they grabbed at him... but Indelible had managed to reach his sword and began hacking... left right and center..
Other zombies grabbed at Latyrx some grabbing onto his wing tips, others pawing his chest chsis as they tried to go for his head...*

[glow=blue,2,300]"Yes sir." Sharpshot loaded both his blasters and gripped them tight. L7 was right, this could end badly, but Skystreaker had saved him a few times. He would do the same for him. The sniper set off towards the door they had sealed to create a temporarily safe area. He would have to open it somehow to get to Skystreaker. Blowing it open would be the easiest solution, but first he rested his audios against the steel door listening for sound of the dead.[/glow]

Ignoring the damage to his leg, L7 jumps up and activates his rocket booster to get above them. Once free, he begins to hack at the zombies. [glow=blue,2,000]"Indelible, first the command center!"[/glow]

And then, from behind Sharpshot, from the ceiling a zombie reached for his head and tried to grab it!

[glow=white,2,300]*As Indelible made for a pair of base doors more zombies pawed him.. Ignoring them mentally Indelible kept hacking and pulled back on a large pair of very heavy doors that opened to a corridor..
Pulling with all his strength and zombies still attcking, he pulled towards them revealing the interior ahead...
"Let's move!!!'
*HACK, SLASH, CHOP!!!*[/glow]

L7 then took up his blaster and fired away so Indelible could escape the evil cluthes of the walking dead. Soon they found them selves running down a hallway then a few stairs. And soon they were in the command room, all about scattered with dead zombies and so blast marks in the walls and the computers. [glow=blue,2,000]"See if you can get the power back on."[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]As Banshee surverys the damage it is plain that the structure is in a bad way, the integrity of the walls is no longer whole and numerous craters and bot-made divets populate the ground.[/glow]
"What did we miss?"

[glow=blue,2,300]Sharpshot slowly knelt down as he made out the sound of a few groans, but he wanted to try and make out if they were up against the door. Above him, he felt air rush over him. The grab had missed. Slowly he turned his head to see what he had been hoping he wouldn't. "Clever bot..." Sharpshot quickly turned and thudded against the door, as the zombie wailed. He aimed his right blaster and took a single shot at the zombies head. It fell to the ground still. Sharpshot got to his feet and kicked the corpse. It wouldn't be undead again anytime soon.
He peered into where it had come from and climbed into the passage way. He slowly cralwed along till he thought he was somewhere near Skystreaker. Cutting the vent with his axe he made a slit to see into the room.[/glow]

[glow=white,2,300]*Indelible started tapping command buttons and pulling levers.... oca$$ionally having to pull a dead coprse off whose body was on one of the computers...
There was a long silence..
Finally the lights flickered and the whir of machinery came on and the command center lit up, the lights were dfim but supplied enough of an emergency back-up...
"I think that's a postive reaction..."[/glow]

And as soon as the power came on, the com spoke up.
[glow=grey,2,000]"Max Convoy to renegade base.... Come in Renegade base over."[/glow] [glow=blue,2,000]"L7 here, Max we have big problems. The base has been compremized by Mirage. He has somehow brought all the dead to life inside the stasis chamber to life, some sort of zombies. There's at least 2 thousand zombies loose in here.[/glow] A normal mech would have been in shock, but Max kept calm. [glow=grey,2,000]"Iacon has the same problem."[/glow] [glow=blue,2,000]"Impossible! A destructicon attack?"[/glow] [glow=grey,2,000]"No, something else... the Order. A rebel group, or better yet a cult, have the Matrix now and used it here like they did at the base. Iacon;'s forces have been cut in half."[/glow] [glow=blue,2,000]"Then we can't get no help here and this will only add to the problem. I suggest a harsh course of action Max. Code: Nova."[/glow] The self destruction operation of the renegade base. [glow=grey,2,000]"Do it."[/glow] [glow=blue,2,000][/glow] [glow=grey,2,000][/glow]
