Jason Baker

Jason screamed as he fell back against the support column. Feeling the numbness spreading up his arm, he knew he didn't have much longer to win this fight. "UUUAAAAHG!! Damn you!!" He knew it would be useless to run, seeing that it was more or less the same power suit that Roland used. So he did the only thing he could do, and shot his gun at it. "DIE!!"

Roland Montague

It was almost as if there was a second pair of eyes watching him, and a separate intelligence warning him of his impending danger. With a deft roll he quickly hits the ground and pops back to his feet less than a meter away, narrowly avoiding both the fiery blast and the unseen attack from the rear.

But if I didn't see it, how could I have... His suit's targetting systems bring up the new assailant. It looks so familiar, but so...wrong. So different. "Damnit! It got both of them! Why couldn't it have just killed me? I'll make them pay! They'll pay!!"

With a sharp twist he tears himself away from his melee and begins zooming northwards towards his new attacker.

Sorry for the quick post everyone, had to type it up quick before work. I wanted to have the basic stuff out at least so things could continue. I'll fill in with text later, most likely when I get home from work.

Fendrin: You didn't have enough MA to get to 0601, so I had to cut you short. Can only move 1/2 MA as a free action.

Roland Montague

As he rapidly closes the gap with the remains of his other friend, Roland dodges behind a pillar. He feels an almost predatory satisfaction as he readies himself to make his attack. He can't recall the last time he felt this way in a fight. So...alive. With a maniacal grin, he sends his armor zooming through space to appear behind his next target, swinging his blade to end the mockery of what was once Tony.

Tony

Feeling the jarring impact of sword-on-leg, Tony knew he was in a fight for his life. Kill or be killed.
Instinctively, he staggers forward a few steps, then turns and blasts the Ro-beast with his gattling-laser.
Knowing that distance is the only thing that can save him, he quickly turns and skates away.

Roland Montague

Too late after Roland rematerialized, the nanomachine in front of him began to step forward to move out of reach of his weapon. Roland's sword slashed into the metal leg as his enemy moved away, but his foe seemed to have used the force of the blow against him. It quickly spun around and began firing bolts of energy at him. Roland quickly juked to the side to avoid the first blast, but the ghost of Tony soon had him back in its field of fire. He reflexively lifted his left arm to shield his face, and blasts soon rocked his battlesuit. Roland screamed inside his armor, but another pulse from the Emotional Stabilizers cooled the blood pumping through him. He brought his arm back down from before his face to see his attacker fleeing the scene. He gritted his teeth. You won't get away that easy...

Jason, seeing his opponent easily dodge his shot and run off after the other scarecrow, decides that he needs to even the field a bit. He turned his back on the fight in progress and stumbled away to a good-looking spot for a last stand, his right hand dragging his gun behind him.

Pvp Round 4
The collatoral damage to the parking structure continues to increase as the three scarecrows fight one another. The building had already deteriorated mostly due to months of battles, nanomachines harvesting the inherent materials, and occupation by various scarecrows and walkers to the point the structural integrity had weakened considerably. As bullets and blades were swung through the air dirt and bits of other debris began to rain from the ceiling.

Roland Montague

As the skating speedy nanomachine fires another volley of its organic-looking missiles, Roland reacts a split-second too late. The first is a glancing blow on his already-weakened left arm. Roland throws himself backwards in a panic, fearing that he would loose the appendage. Fortunately as he rolled over backwards, the remaining projectiles fly over him, and he ends his roll in a crouch, ready to spring back onto the attack.

Jason Baker

Jason collapsed against the rubble, gasping in pain. The numbness in his arm has given way to searing pain. He still couldn't even move it. It's probably all broken up. His chest and back felt wet, probably from the cut on his scalp. He shook his head and stood up again. He can't let this pain get to him. Chuckling at his fatalism, he walked further into the debris.

As Roland finally managed to recover from the flurry of attacks, his prey was barreling away from him. Damn him! Running back to his 'friend' to dig in and wait for me, are they? Well, I'll just have to cut him down before he gets there!

Standing upright, Roland swings his blade out to the side and begins charging forward, working to close the gap between he and his foe while maintaining cover from either.

The building supports continued to groan as the battle rages on, issuing forth additional debris from the ceiling. One of Tony missiles, dodged by Roland, glanced off a support beam. The impact caused the rumblings within the parking garage to worsen, momentarily.

Roland begins to walk forward in his armor slowly. Inside his suit, Roland was beginning to feel a sickening numbness in his being; it's as though the Emotional Stabilizer had gone into overdrive, leaving him feeling hollow. He no longer cared if he was killed. He just wanted this to end. He would make it end. He flashes forward through space with his blade held forward, materializing before his fleeing opponent and thrusting his weapon directly at its weakened left leg.

After several moments of being raked with fire from behind, warning claxons blaze as his armor registers critical damage to his sword-arm and heavy damage to all other servos. In the split-second between vollies Roland lunges himself forward into a roll, avoiding the next wave of blasts as they burn through the air above him.

[Fisher]

Meanwhile, Back at the Battle...
As the battle rages the support beams continue to groan and the building shakes from the damage sustained. Debris begins to fall from the ceiling, nearly striking the combatants fighting within the garage's belly. Falling plaster and stone is not the only thing one should be worried about at a time like this, however. No, it is what might hear the noise and commotion that one should worry about.

As if on cue, several mechanical roars can be heard in the far off distance. Sounds like that service drone wasn't the only walker in the neighborhood.

All of Roland's displays are flashing red as his suit's only armed appendage is blasted into slag. He grimaces with pain as he struggles to move the arm, but at this point it was numb from the pain - he hoped. His breathing starts to become ragged, and despair starts to creep into his mind. This is it. Even if I can stop these things, there's more out there! I won't make it back!

Suddenly, his visual display zooms in on something nearby on the ground. A glint of metal. My sword... He reaches out with his remaining good arm and grips the blade in hand. Once he has it, he quickly spins about and slings it ungracefully at his nearby foe.
