Ponyshock: "Knight" Squad

Winter's ears perked up at the mention of the name 'Filthy Rich' she could have sworn that was the name of the buck over the radio when they arrived. She thought hard for a moment to collect her memory but she was drawing blanks, unable to remember what it was she was supposed to say. She nodded a thanks to the colt as she ventured forward with the filly close by. They took a seat and it was then that she decided to tell the buck about Filthy Rich contacting them. "We were spoken to by a buck called Filthy Rick over our radios when we arrived... could it be the same Filthy Rich you knew ?" she asked questioningly.

As Lightning sprayed into the crowd, he watched as it forced the splicers to scatter and sadly, missed all of his shots. However, it at least slowed their advance for a little bit. He would duck back in cover and release his mag from his gun and reloaded it quickly. Now that he had a fresh magazine, the pegasus would peak up for just a second to observe.

A few of them had been taken down this time around and it seemed as the enemy was starting to concentrate their fire toward Shutter and Trails. He wasn't worried though. If Shutter kept up his shooting streak and Trails wasn't hurt any further, then they could take them out easily. However, a little more bullets towards their direction wouldn't hurt. Aiming his SMG, Lightning would let out a burst toward one of the last remaining splicers with a gun then fire two more bursts at melee splicers.

(Gun 75. 10mm SMG. Firing at one splicer with a gun and two splicers with a melee weapon. x3)

Ashen grunted as the pipe hit him in the side, horn flaring as he tried to shove the two splicers away, if only a few feet, and give himself some breathing room. Whether or not he managed that, he’d next swing up his rifle and, like before, line the sights on one of the splicer’s heads and pull the trigger, before swinging his aim over and blasting the other. With any luck, another two splicers would be down. Otherwise, he’d back away a bit to keep out of the reach of their pipes, while still keeping an eye on the splicers with guns.

[Push the splicers away: Magic 40]

[Shoot the splicers, x2, Prism Rifle: Energy Weapons 50]

[Back up if the two splicers are still alive]

Petal Shard sighed in annoyance as the pipe wielding thing continued to lurch forward. It was almost insulting that it had not opted to run, limp, away at this point and Petal Shard was beginning to find the whole situation rather tedious. She raised her 9mm and fired at the injured creature.

(Guns 16 firing at the same Splicer with a pipe with 9mm X3)

Shutter would quickly drop down behind cover once the bullet ricocheted off of his pistol, trying to drop out of the line of fire.
Quickly, Shutter looked about as he maintained cover from the weapons fire, looking for any more splicers to shoot at, however, all he could see were the two currently striking at Ashen.

Shutter slowly raised himself slightly, as he aimed to aid his comrade, firing a shot off at both Splicers.

(Guns 35, Luck 8, .45 Pistol x2, Aiming at Splicers attacking Ashen, One shot each.)

Ale was fourious. "Stop dodgeing you cowards!" He yelled as his shots were easily avoided by the splicers. Taking too two steps twords the splicers he levitated out his knife and pointed his revolver at the nearist splicer, that was now a mere 2 feet away, and fired twice. One shot was aimed at his leg to slow him down if he tried to dodge or rush ale, and the other was aimed at his head for the kill. "Dodge this you bucking goul pony reject." Ale taunted as he pulled the trigger. Keeping his knife at his side ale was ready to stab the next splicer that tried to attack him with a chunk of plumbing.

(GUNS 50, .357 revolver x2, one shot at splicers leg fallowed by one shot at splicers head)

(MELEE 20, combat knife x1, counter attack any melee splicer that attacks ale.)

Flash grits his teeth as the world darkens around him. Death erupted from his SMG as two of the three splicers were obliterated by a wall of bullets. The third with the gun however, was enough behind another splicer that he only took some of the damage, enough to send it to the floor as it cried out in pain. The other two who took the main focus of the fire dropped dead where they stood.

Ashens horn ignited as he pushed the splicers back successfully. He drew his rifle fast as he took aim and fired, a well aimed shot ripping into a leg causing the splicer to roar in pain. The Splicer took a moment to recover while the other who had evaded the shot charged forward swinging wildly at Ashen as he backed away from the blows just narrowly avoiding being hit.

Petal once again took aim at the same splicer deciding to end the creatures pitiful existence as she put a shot straight into it's neck, ending it's life forever.

Shutter took aim at the two splicers who persisted after Ashen as he backed away, his first shot missed as the Splicer was moving in a blind fury and was allot harder to hit. The other who had remained to recover, took the bullet to the leg making it cry out for the second time in pain before turning to limp away from the battle.

Ale saw his next move as he fired his first shot into the leg of the splicer he was aimed on. The shot struck the leg, piercing through it making the creature cry out in pain. As the creature shouted it's voice was ended abruptly as a second shot smashed though it's brain, finishing it off for good. Ale then moved to bring his knife to bear as he tried to fight off an aggressive splicer attacking him with a led pipe. His knife missed to meet the blow of the pipe as the pipe connected with his hoof harshly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 Splicers wielding led pipes
1 Splicer with a 357 Magnum
1 Brute Splicer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three remaining splicers who weren't running away or crying in pain had a sudden burst of adrenaline as they roared in unison. Their attacks immediately became more aggressive and stronger as they swung pipes with killing blows and shot with intent to turn a pony into cheese.

There was another roar... but not from the same splicers... it came from some place else yet was somehow more aggressive and louder then the splicers. Suddenly a nearby door on the other side of the theater was ripped off the hinges as a Brute Splicer charged into the room. It looked around menacingly before it spotted the ponies behind the barricade. With another roar it charged towards them, grabbing the nearby splicers that has ran away and throwing them aside like rag dolls as it ran towards them. An unfortunately splicer who had been crawling away was crushed as it was nearly upon the group. Even the three remaining splicers dove aside as it came down upon their barrier before they moved behind it to give support.

Lightning dropped back into cover quickly once he finished firing his bursts. He didn't stay up long enough to see who he hit and who he didn't but the sound of a door being knocked off it's hinges caught his attention. Peaking up, he would see a huge brute splicer standing there. As if they already didn't have enough problems.

Ejecting his magazine, the pegasus would check how many bullets was still inside before loading it back into his gun. Popping up, Lightning would unload the remaining shots in his SMG at the brute.

(Gun 75. 10mm SMG. Firing at brute splicer. x3)

Ale's hoof stung as the lead pipe made contact, biting his lip to stop an outburts of profanity ale instead raised his knife ready to bury it in the stuborn splicers skull. Just then an ear splitting roar filled the room as a huge brute, much like the one the group encountered in the pavilion previously, burst through the door, sending bodies flying and causing the splicer ale was fighting to dive for cover.

As ale saw the thing charging twords the group he did the first thing that came to mind, he used his telekinesis to hurl his currently equiped knife at the brute's head. As the knife left his grasp ale relized that this was probubly the stupidest thing hes done and lifted his revolver to finish the job.

(MELEE 20,LUCK 6, combat knife x1, Trown at brute splicers head)

(GUNS 50, .357 revolver x2, Fire twice into brute's head if knife fails)

Petal Shard felt a small sense of accomplishment as the shambling creature clutched its throat and fell dead to the flour, its stubborn refusal to die had been quite irksome. Then another of the larger creatures like the one they had encountered earlier smashed its way into the room, “of course...” Petal sighed dryly as she took aim at the retched mass and fired with no illusions that her weapon would even phase the hulking cur.

(Guns 16 firing at the Brute with 9mm X3)

Hearing the familiar roar, Shutter turned just to see the crash of a door being torn from it's hinges and flung across the room, as the brute entered the room.

"O' s'it..."

He mumbled through the gun lodged in his mouth, before he steadied himself to fire three shots at the beast before it could get too close. He really didn't want to know what it felt like to be flung by that thing...

(Guns 35, Luck 8, .45 Pistol x3, Firing at Brute Splicer)

Ashen’s face remained impassive as the Brute made his appearance, charging towards the groups barricade. They had taken out one of these things previously, even if a lucky shot had a lot to do with that, so they should be able to take this one out too. The others splicers, however, posed a slight problem, the one with the revolver at the very least could get a shot off while everypony was out of cover and trying to avoid the brute. So, with everypony else focusing on the brute, Ashen dove out of cover to get away from the thing before snapping his rifle towards the splicers, the revolver-wielding one in particular, and sent burning beams of light towards him. If he managed to take the splicer, out, he’d focus his fire on the other two with the pipes next. Once they were all taken out, the group could focus their full attention on the brute.

[Dive out of barricade to get away from Brute]

[Shoot the Revolver Splicer, x3, Prism Rifle, Energy Weapons 50]

[If the Revolver Splicer gets killed in the first or second shot, use remaining shot(s) on the Pipe Splicers, Prism Rifle, Energy Weapons 50]

Trails left the Brute to the rest of the squad, knowing they'd instinctively give it everything they had. Instead he took aim at the only other splicer that could be deemed a threat, that lucky little buck who could with a .357. Trails switched to his .45, wanting to put more lead down range than his repeater could give him.

(Guns 63 firing three times at the .357 Splicer with .45 auto pistol)

Flash took up his SMG as he fired upon the brute. The shots slashed and grazed against the skin of the hulking creature making it more mad then causing any real damage.

Ale threw his knife towards the Brute but in it's rage it simply ducks as it continued it's rage filled charge towards the group. As the knife failed he took up his 357, intending to blow the head right off the monstrosity, however while one shot passed narrowly by, the other struck the creatures cheek, entering and causing a large blood spatter to flash across it's face. The Brute roared in pain and continued it's charge.

Petal took aim with her 9mm firing three times at the hulking mutation. The shots ripped into the arms causing the Brute to stumble in it's advance, but not stop.

Shutter seized the opportunity as he fires upon the brute three times with his .45. A single shot tore into the meaty chest of the creature causing damage but seemingly doing nothing to stop the creatures advance.

Ashen took aim with his Prism rifle as Trails drew his .45, the first two shots were evaded as the splicer dove to the floor. However it was this which bought his end as he was no unable to move as the two stallions unleashed their hell onto the splicer, killing him into a bloody mess on the floor.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Brute roared as it collided with the group barricade, sending pieces of metal flying in all directions. A particular pointed piece of metal that looked to have once been apart of a chair flew across the air striking Petal in the leg and pining her to the floor. The beast roared as it began it's work of assault. The beast turned to Ginger Ale, remembering him being the cause of his new face expression. The beast let out another growl of terror as it bore down on the Unicorn Stallion, smashing a hulking fist into the ponies side, knocking him a fair ways across the floor.

The two splicers wielding led pipes had gotten up again and had now began climbing into the fight as they bored down upon Ashen and Trails, swinging wildly. One of them struck Trails across the cheek with the pipe causing a nasty blow to the earth pony stallion.

The group would need to wrap this up fast before the hulking creature decided to really rip into them. Could this be wear they meet there end ?

The last shot in ale's revolver tore a hole clean through the brutes face, improving its looks in ale's opinion but also greatly angering the beast. As soon as the brute burst trought the barricade it turned half of an angry glare at ale. "OH FU..." Ale diden't have a chance to finnish his statement as he found himself being punted across the room.

Landing a few feet away with a meaty thud ale let out an agony filled groan as he was sure he'd broken a rib, or all of them. Reloading his revolver as fast as he could in this pained state ale really wished the pretty mare with all of the heath potions was here. Cloasing the gate on his .357 ale attemped to get the brute's attention , hopeing he could keep it focused on him rather than pounding somepony else into paste. "HEY, hamburger face." Ale yelled. "Forgeting sompony, i'm not some hump and dump prom date pony. C'mon, finish the job."

If this little ploy worked ale would wait till the beast was right on top of him before fireing as many shots as possible into the brutes mangled face.

(Speech 37, taunting brute)

(Guns 50, fire at brutes face at point blank range if taunt workes x2)

Petal Shard grunted in pain as a large piece of jagged metal stabbed into her leg and pinned her to the floor. She took several calming breaths to prevent herself going into shock and accessed the damage. She was stuck and her leg was mostly useless at this point, though the fact that she was helplessly staked to the ground made that particular problem less of an immediate issue.

Lightning didn't even drop down under cover this time when he began to reload his gun. Considering the situation, a bullet to his flank was the least of his worries seeing the brute still advancing on their position. Here we go again. One more time. Aiming his SMG at the brute once more, he would let out three bursts, hoping that somehow, his gunfire combined with the others' would stop the brute and end the battle.

(Gun 75. 10mm SMG. Firing at brute splicer. x3)

Trails chuckled and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground. He was glad to see this big bad at least had some bark. That last one was disappointing. He calmly grabbed his repeater off the ground next to him and took aim. He had three shots and all the time in the world to make them. Two for the chest, one to the head, like clockwork.

(Guns: 63 2 shots to the chest and 1 to the head of the Brute with Cowpony Repeater)

Shutter dived to the side to avoid the shards of barricade that had been sent every which way. While he hadn't been struck, the destruction had shaken him, and it took a few seconds for him to wobble to his feet.

However, the second he was up, he set straight back to work, as he looked about, and spotted the two Pipe-wielding Splicers.

Time to clean up.

Aiming his .45, Shutter fired at the first Splicer, and should that one fall, would switch to firing at the second.

(Guns 35, Luck 8, .45 Pistol x3, Firing at Splicer 1 three times, if Splicer dies with remaining shots from Shutter, divert those shots to second splicer.)

Ashen’s face gave no emotion as he deftly dodged the wild swings of the splicers, the mutants missing every blow they tried to lay on the unicorn. Trails was less lucky.

However, despite the immediate danger right in front of him, Trails decided to focus on the Brute even though the splicers could still beat him to death when he was distracted. Ashen, however, decided to focus on the more immediate threats, and aimed his prims rifle at the face of the splicer right in front of him, blasting him repeatedly at point-blank range. Shutter seemed to be helping and firing at the other splicer, hopefully the buck would be able to take the mutated pony before he could swing again.

[Shoot Pipe Splicer, x3, Prism Rifle, Energy Weapons 50]

Ale began taunting the Brute as he shouted insults towards the hulking spliced mess. However the Brute was in to much of a blind rage to listen as it ignored the taunt and continued to smash about. Ale proceeded to fire two shots toward the Brute but the knock must have dazed him as his shots missed their target.

Flash fired off with his SMG. The shots ripped across the beast but didn't seem to hit anything vital as they carved deeper into it's legs and arms, slowing it down a little more as it grunted and growled through the hits.

Trails took up his Cowboy repeater as he aimed for the giant creature. He fired two shots, one of them striking his chest, making the beat pause and choke as the impact took the breath from it. The second shot missed it's target, flying by it's head seemingly unnoticed by the creature as it took deep breaths.

Shutter and Ashen continued to fire on the remaining splicers. Shutter fired three shots, the first one hitting the splicer in the stomach before another shot entered through it's skull finishing it off for good. He aimed his third shot for the other but the splicer dived to avoid the shot, but unfortunately it dove right into the path of Ashens Prism Rifle and was melted to ash in mere seconds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Enemies remaining:

1x Gun wielding Splicer
1x Brute Splicer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The brute looked about angrily as it watched two more of it's fellow splicers destroyed by the two ponies that seemed to almost be working together in their defending attacks. The Brute turned towards them as it began to run at them, picking up speed and momentum to smash the two apart.

Petal remained pinned buy the metal strut. The gun wielding splicer noticed this and moved to finish off the downed pony. The splicer felt excitement build inside as he saw his opportunity.

Last round folks ^^

Petal Shard sighed as she looked at the peace of metal stabbing into her flesh, "I hate everything" she groaned as she took hold of the metal and gave it a sharp tug.

(Strength 4 Luck 6 to pull the metal strut out. X 3)

Ale was insaulted that the brute ignored him, those taunts always worked on the raiders in the wastland. Getting up to his feet ale intended to pump that brute full of so much lead that you could lead it around with a magnet.

Reloading the two shots fired previously ale begain to walk, well limp, over to the raging beast. Out of the corner of his eye, ale could see a bloodied petal shard and a splicer making his way over to her. Upon seeing this turn of events his obectives quickly changed.

Knowing the rest of the group had the fire power to handle the over grown pony ale went to help the fallen mare. "Get away from her you rotting raider wanabe!" He yelled as he charged the splicer. Filled with the adrenalin of seeing one of his comrads in need he intended to tackle the pony and put a bulllt right in its brain.

(Unarmed-18, Tackle and pin leadhead splicer attacking petal)

(Guns-50 if tackel is succesful Hold up .357 to splicers temple and pull the triger. if tackel is unsuccesful fire 3 shots from wherever i'm at.)

Lightning, only now, noticed that one of their teammates, a pegasus mare, was caught by piece of metal. She didn't look like she could get out on her own. To make matters worse, the last remaining splicer armed with a gun was trying to finish the mare off. No way that was going to happen on his watch.

Diving off to the side, he would lay down a line of gunfire at the brute to cover himself before running over to Petal. Holstering his SMG, the pegasus would look over the mare's condition quickly. Damn...the metal was embedded in her hoof. She was going to need a doctor. "Hang in there. We'll get you out. Don't worry."

(Gun 75. 10mm SMG. Brute Splicer. x2)

As the Brute charged towards him and Ashen, Shutter did the first thing that came to his mind.

He tried to dive the heck out of it's way, hoping the massive mass of the creature would prevent it from turning on a dime.

However, as he moved, he tried to fire off three wild-shots at the beast, hoping even he couldn't miss something that big!

(Diving out the way, 6 Agi, 8 Luck [Just for reference in whether it worked or not]
