As Wilson approached the battlefield he saw somebody already engaging Atlas' forces. A man clad in a long leather coat riddled with holes, weaving through the soldiers like a demon leaving lines of violet-cobalt through the air as the figure dashed and dismembered with a superheated blade. In his other hand was a Thumper grenade launcher. He used this in tandem with his blade, allowing for its explosive wounds to take hold before firing the weapon at his opponents and sending them flying back. Two massive wings made up of soot-ridden feathers and burning flesh stretched from his back, set alight with the same fire burning on the man's sword. A set of equally colossal arms expanded from his lower middle back, amalgamations of various limbs melded together with taloned claws of bone. The hands attached to the many arms held various firearms - most notable a modernized PTRS-41, a massive 2-gauge shotgun and twin .50 Desert Eagles. All were being fired by the extra appendages as the figure waded through the carnage. With a burning sword in one hand, a grenade launcher in the other and the flaming wings and extra arms he looked like some demented Angel of Eden. With every winged beat, a gale of thermite-equivalent flame spread in a radius around the figure. The False Prophet has risen. ~~~ When Wolfe landed from his leap, another figure landed beside him. "No more. No more death, and I'll be damned if any more war ravages this place." It was a man around 25 years old. Filipino with light hazel eyes and black hair accompanied by grey strands. A large overcoat made of a dragon's wings rested on his body, seemingly too big for the young man. The apparel was a memento of a dragon he had slain alongside Marauder Felix and others. He took the beast's wings as spoils. He stood bare without any armour or weaponry until Jackson felt a sudden heat overcome the area, alongside an unnatural presence that would make any normal man squirm with discomfort. When one burned a piece of paper, the sheet would merely burn away and almost fade out of existence with its ash. What happened next could only be explained as the opposite of that effect - armour burnt [i]into existence[/i] around the young man. An exosuit thick with armoured plating formed beneath the large coat, appearing as pure blue flames rushed over the man in waves. His arm became engulfed in heavy gauntlets; his shoulders were adorned with pauldrons with one having a shoulder-mounted M134 minigun on it. One shoulder guard had a red cobra on it with a thick gash running across its head, as if somebody superheated a blade and ran it across the metal. In his hand appeared a superheated katana, with thermite burning in a self-contained magnetic field around the sword. It burnt with the bright intensity of a Holy Ghost of some kind, eager to purify. Around the man's face formed a helmet. A single blue optical stared into the soldiers' souls as his features were covered by the armoured helmet. His open overcoat revealed a single plate of armour that stood out on his covered chest - the icon of a painted cobalt Phoenix.

  • BOUT TIME YOU DID SOMETHING OTHER THAN TALK PHILOSOPHY! [i]The Courier shouted, letting loose a barrage of round with his Browning. Soldiers fell left and right, but they held their turf fairly well. Soon, the heavy machine guns of the technicals and armored trucks began to lay into the massive flaming figure, as he was a clear target. From some hull-down position, two Strykers fired their main 105mm guns on him, and somewhere, Konigstiger watched. These men were performing well for being mercenaries and drug runners. He was quite surprised. He was also surprised at how truly vicious Wilson and this flaming anomaly were. Moving into the trenches, Wilson drew his machete, and began butchering people, impaling them, dismembering them, and unloading on them with the behemoth of a machine gun that sat on his shoulder. He didn't need the help, but he certainly enjoyed watching the False Prophet's slaughter. He enjoyed watching his own. [/i] ~~~~ [i]Wolfe stood up to his full height, cloak blowing back and revealing his weapons, and the armor that Phoenix undoubtedly recognized. The posture, however, was different. Wolfe was not the cold-hearted emotionless entity that his father was. There was a fire inside him, one that burned brightly. Wolfe stared at this newcomer before him, and he observed the transformation.[/i] You're.... supposed to be dead... [i]He said, mildly surprised to see the rumored Forgotten Martyr. He had heard plenty of stories from Wilson about Phoenix, but never before had he ever seen the man, or rather, his spirit.[/i]

  • Lucien ignored this as he continued dancing through his blood trance. As the 105mm began to hail down upon him he spread his wings and Angel-Arms, creating a miasma of thick brimstone-scented fog combined with a self-contained firestorm to cover his position. If the vehicles wanted to hit him, they would have to blindfire into the kill zone and risk their own men. Unbeknownst to the gunners however, Lucien hopped into a trench and began to slaughter any who stepped in his path. Usually one sword stroke sufficed as its intense heat was enough for most shielding and armour, but some were finished off with a barrage of AP .50 Deagle bullets or a 40mm slug from his grenade launcher. Spotting a Stryker, he raised one of his massive Angel-Arms and levelled his anti-tank rifle at it before firing... Multiple times. The rounds tore into the war vehicle and shredded it apart, tungsten propelled by shaped charges punching into its armour. Lucien jumped onto the front of the damaged vehicle and relieved most of the gunner's head from his shoulders via 2-gauge slug. He then sliced off the mounted turret before picking it up with his other Angel-Arm and firing it into the swathes of soldiers in the trenches below as the vehicle set fire to itself. Finally, he fired a grenade from his Thumper launcher into the hatch before grabbing the bottom of the vehicle with both Angel-Arms and throwing it into the other Stryker. The body-ridden battlefield provided more than enough food for him to heal from the blows. ~~~ "Only the dead have seen the end of war," Phoenix says as he quotes Plato to Jackson without looking at him. "And I may never rest whilst my home is torn apart by another man's conquest for power. So take my strength, Jackson. Peace can only be attained by those who are willing to perform the necessary evil." The M134 on his back began to spin up before firing a stream of tracer rounds at the soldiers. "Teleportation was always a bother when a fought here. Cover your back and use an EMP as a last resort. If you want, I can take these jokers on while you provide covering fire. If you're anything like your dad in terms of skill, I can only assume you can use that Barrett to its fullest potential." He produced a S&W M500 in his off hand and loaded it with strange ceramic bullets that glowed a bright blue as it distorted the air around it with heat. Fire ran off the barrel in droves like a hungry dragon.

  • [i]Before Lucien and Wilson, the troops retreated, unable to hold back the titans. Before them, soldiers were pulling back and teleporting away, leaving the dead and the burnt-out vehicles. [/i] ~~~ [i]Wolfe looked to Phoenix, and nodded.[/i] I'll be back. I have some questions for you. [i]With that, he left, heading to help Rose, and leaving Phoenix to deal with the men in white. Before him; the man in white turned, dodging most of the shots and taking those that his him. Beside him, the matching figures appeared, approaching in step with him.[/i]

  • Lucien walked through the battlefield, consuming corpses that were either dead or too maimed to fight back. The stench of burnt flesh and brimstone stung at the air as the Eldritch Angel waded through the war zone and consumed anything deemed as sustenance. ~~~ "More of you? Or perhaps..." Phoenix thought of something. The same armour with the same motions. Cloaking and teleporting, or mere illusions? The Martyr shot his superheated ceramic rounds at each figure before slashing at them, releasing a wave of burning thermite to test his theory. Were these men in white copies?

  • [i]Wilson seemed to be salvaging weapons and gear left behind, picking up rifles and ammunition belts. He kicked those too destroyed away from him, and moved on, taking what he could carry.[/i] You are one UGLY bast*rd, you know that? [i]He said, carrying an M60E6 over his shoulder, three ammunition belts on his other.[/i] You should really get the whole parasitism Martian bullsh*t checked out. [i]He laughed.[/i] ~~~~ [i]The three moving in step disappeared in a cloud of movement, leaving the lone single figure in the center, who dodged the rounds, moving with an uncanny ability. Landing back to Phoenix's right, he spoke.[/i] Maybe next time, firebird. [i]With that, he disappeared.[/i]

  • Lucien dropped to one knee, stabbing his sword into the ground as his wings and extra arms incinerated themselves. The man pulled his gas mask off of his face and took a few breaths of the pungent air - but it was air nonetheless. "Did we... drive their forces back?" ~~~ The Martyr didn't seem all too surprised. With a flare of blue fire, his form transmuted itself into a massive flock of ashen sparrows with eyes of fire.

  • Looks like it. They pulled back on their own, though. Could've put up a nastier fight if they wanted to, they had the gear for it. I wanna know what the hell they were doing... [i]He said, looking around.[/i] ~~~~ END

  • Can't say for sure, but it really f*ckin' looks like a ruse. Armies don't do this kinda sh*t unless they're after something really valuable. [i]Wilson replied, surveying the battlefield.[/i] Their formation is pure blitz, and I'll be damned if it wasn't a whole smoke and mirrors show...

  • [spoiler]This is foreshadowing, do not act on it.[/spoiler] [i]As Fenrir walked the streets, before he was shot by the man in the white armor, he stopped, turning his head. He faced the field of battle outside of the Dojo's Gates. He felt something. Something...wrong. Inside of him, the Yodünfire ignited, raging within him, demanding to be released, to be able to [b]Purge[/b]. His hands formed fists as he struggled to contain the Fires of God, for the sake of this planet and the people on it. His eyes narrowed as he fought himself in his mind, a fierce struggle. Eventually, Vrael won out, the man reigning through his morals. However, he could feel it in his very bones. This...[b]Heresy[/b], this wrongness would not be tolerated. The Wolf would be sated, the Crusader would Purge. He began to walk again, his personal demons raging within him.[/i] [spoiler]Again, closed, unless you wish to do your own foreshadowing.[/spoiler]
