Exalted: The Waste Lands (IC)

[Novabomb]

Hurrat sees that the snipers lack the distinctive face coverings that the locals wear, but see that they are fighting some sort of supernatural being. Not knowing who is in the right, Hurrat moves right next to the dark figure with only his shield drawn. It glows as he does, and he calls out: Cease fire. I place this man under my protection. If you have just cause speak your grievance.

"They don't have cause, they just want my gear. WELL YOU CAN HAVE MY BULLETS YOU SONS OF MONGREL WHORES!" Bracing his right arm against the door jam, Lance takes aim at one of the men who shot him. The god of his gun roars out its annoyance and spits fiery death at the villain, the head of the snake following close behind in the trail of essence, purple eyes aflame with rage and hate.

The scene unfolded in front of her left Jynx with a tough choice, clearly some a pair of wanderers were being ambushed by mysterious raiders, and from what Asu had communicated earlier, they might have a connection to the party that wandered through Oasis earlier, but one of the stranger's under attack reminded Jynx of that fateful night of her Exaltation, were her eyes deceiving her? or was he a creature of the Ashen roads? Gritting her teeth and making a decision, Jynx drives her car towards the two wanderers, with her left hand on the wheel Jynx swerves to a halt in front of the two men, providing them with extra cove while raising a massive cloud dust that blocks the visibility from further gunfire. Without wasting time, she opens the passenger door to "Thunderbird", signaling the two men to enter the vehicle. "Hurry, get in!"

[Django]

Hurrat's shield ably deflects the blazing golden bullet away from Lance, the sound of impact ringing through the square like a gong.

As her initial adrenaline rush cools a but, Jynx notes that this is hardly the modus operandi of the Oasis folk- if they want to kill or Rob somebody, they do it under cover of darkness, with a multitude of cold knives.

To reinforce this impression, the sniper struck by Lance's bullet rises to their feet. They're wearing a shirt of some repurposed metal grating, as well as gaudy decorations of scavenged metal. His mouth is uncovered, and a band of silver glimmers across his eyes.

"For the Silver Mother!" he cries, and raises a gun aloft, shooting a single black flare into the sky. Within seconds, a sound fills Oasis... the furious growling of engines, getting louder by the second.

The same coarse voice from earlier barkssnout again, only just audible over the roar of approaching vehicles. "Tough luck, Cullies! Now every one of you gets to DIE!"

Basically you get an action before this scene becomes a Chase. Dust Devil can enter the scene at this juncture.

[Pertenetator]

"Silver Mother ? What an ugly expression" a half speech half laugh echoes, as the extremely quick dot in the horizon closes in. He is but a blur of motion, making closing circles around the sniper, like a sand shark to wounded prey. "So simple, and so dull. It's not pretty, it's not pretty at all. You could say something of the like "Argent Life-bringer", or "Silvered Child-bearer", but "Silver Mother ?". People that says= so ugly expressions...do not deserve to live"

The blur of motion that is Dust Devil grinds to a halt suddenly, as his blade becomes engulfed into a tiny whirlwind of sand, delivering multiple slashes on his back. That moment he can be seen a bit more clearly: He seems suspiciously white, even pale, for a man that probably lived his whole life on the wastes. Blonde hair was also not seen so often. He wore a long duster, with something looking like a shirt made from multiple tiny chains inside.

Hurrat is now confident about the foes he faces, the nature of his foe fuels his inner rage. He dashes up to the roof of the women's car sucks in an enourmous amount of air drawing the dust toward him. Then as his anima explodes outwards his hair stands on end as he shouts above the roaring vehicles:Tremble Gangers and Dispair, Hurrat has come to this place, and none of you shall survive the encounter.

The roars of the engines approaching reach a crescendo, as the full convoy approaches. Four motorcycles lead the pack, roadsters, more nimble than Lance's cruiser. Their riders whoop and scream, battering themselves into a frenzy as their prey comes into view. Behind them are three jeep-like trucks, with weapons platforms mounted on the back. These are attended, and the gunners fire blasts of demonstrative ammunition into the air.

The snipers- with the notable exception of the one Dust Devil eviscerated- leap from their enclaves and onto the approaching vehicles, and are caught by their comrades with practiced ease. In moments, the raiding party will be upon you...

[Lord-Leafar]

"Oh damn it!" The thundering engines coming down on her and the others close in on Jynx, her hands gripping the wheel tightly in anticipation of what's to come. "Hey nut job, we're moving!" She yells at the strange glowing man on top of her car, hoping she had made the right choice coming to his aid, otherwise she would leave him behind, no need to risk herself or Thunderbird for a loony. With the stomping of a pedal, Thunderbird let's out it's own roar as Jynx brings her engine to life, clouds of dust raising violently as the wheels speed up with increasing ferocity. "Alright Birdie, get us to safety!"

Lance dashes for his bike and spurs it's least god to life with a savage kick. The engine roars defiance to the world, sounding like a great Predator Lizard, and his bike lurches forward and into the wastes as the pistons in the four cylinders fire desperately to keep pace with the car beside him. "Lawbringer, what the hell do you think you're going to be able to do up there?" He calls out to Pendrogen over all of the engines.

The ruins of Oasis loom over the deserted streets. These parkways and boulevards were designed for their meandering aesthetic values, curving and arching constantly, and in their disrepair they form frequent obstacles to a high-speed Chase. (Difficulty 2)

One of the armored jeeps had bold streaks of blue on the side panels, as well as en embellished painting of a silver skull on the hood. Behind the wheel of this jeep is a man with a horned, viking style helm and a massive frame. He raises his fist out of the window and bellows a loud, nonverbal war chant to his compatriots. They answer in unison, and a sandy-colored aura begins to shimmer around their tires.

Sparing a side glance to the Infernal flying next to them, Jynx wided her eyes in amazement, she was ready to shoot at the devil until it spoke, he seemed friendly for now, and that was enough for Jynx to focus on getting away from these raiders. She would pay due attention to this sudden group of companions she seemed to have joined."Now's not the time for introductions buddy, save the names for when we don't have a rabid pack of murderers on our asses!" With that, Jynx pressed on the accelerator, "Thunderbird growled as it picked up extra speed through the roads of the broken ruins of Oasis. Jynx had visited this city on many occasions, and if there was one advantage she had over her pursuers, was that she knew more of the geography of the place than them, she knew the alleys, the sand traps, and the dead ends of the now seemingly empty and desolate city, she only hoped that all inhabitants had taken refuge underground as it was usually the case. With that reassuring thought, Jynx made a turn around one of the corners of a collapsed building, an alley ahead of her seemed to be the only route ahead, but at the last second she turned sharply into a narrow gap of the adjacent building, with it's broken architecture it provided some cover against her pursuers, and Jynx could have driven through it with eyes closed, taking advantage of the poor visibility the close space offered and the more dust she raised with her passing, she drove through it with dangerous speed, her body and muscles reacting out of memory to the landscape, her one with her vehicle, a perfect fusion of (wo)man and machine.

"Seem like these raiders want a show" Dust Devil giggled "Lets give it tho them then!" .

He rushed towards Jynx's car, the sand of the oasis gathering below his feet as he dashed towards Thunderbird. With a burst of energy, he made a quite daring leap forwards, a sudden winds pushing him to the same speed when he took off, a small sandstorm under his feet. Due to that, the had made a complete U-turn with his body,pushing his hand on the hood of Thunderbird, landing almost flawlessly. He wouldn't stop here of course, as soon as his feet where in the stable metal hoo, he jumped again, uppon the a metallic beam that came out of the ground like a broken bone. And another, and another, he kept leaping from Oasis ruin to oasis ruin, running on nbroken rooftops or collapsed metal structures, or just frorm;ess rock.
