But I'll Take What I Want

[petroleumblaster]

(( Well, how am I doing? Massacring it? Basically I spent alot of time pretending there were two of me. I wish... ))

[twistedpoison]

so wats are attack plan?? *loads a fresh battery into my gun and attaches a mod to the guns handle* OH! *tosses a small bag at PB* thought u might wanna try these, my remote mines. completly harmless when thrown, cant be tampered with due to their strong outer shell, and smaller then a tangerine, only way to get rid of them is to set them off, which i dont recommend if u are within 10-15 feet of it. what do you think? (well if they are identical twins then yeah. im a fiternal twin, not identcal, so im not too much of an expert )

[Renegade]

*I watch the others get out of the van before getting out myself. I see Glass fall on her face and chuckle slightly as I walk past her* How's that sand taste? *She gives me a look and I apologize, laughing. I walk over to where Gear is and kneel next to him. I look over the man hole, it looks like the ones in the city. He helps me lift the lid off of it and set it to the side* So are you ready for this?

[Glass~Vendetta]

*The light and happy atmosphere was gone. Now everyone was stony, almost scowling. We were gonna do it. I forget about the ride there in the van, forget falling or the pictures in the dresser or anything else. We have a killjoy to save. If she IS still a killjoy...I wipe that thought from my brain. A BLI turning killjoy seems much more common than a Killjoy turning BLI. From my experience anyway. We killjoys stick to it.*
I think we're all ready, Renegade. *The words come out sharper than intended, so I give him a small smile. I'm not sure what that could accomplish, but I truly didn't mean to be rude about it.*

jumps down the manhole and looks around, then looks back up to the rest of the team* its clear lets go!

[Funhouse Gear]

Got it. *I follow Twisted down and step to the side as the others climb down as well. The pipe's pretty tight, being so far from the city, but at least all but the tallest of us will be able to stand up straight. It doesn't smell too bad, either, and I doubt it's used much anymore. I pull a flashlight out of my bag and hand it to Renegade, so he can read his map* Okay, everyone. Keep it quiet, whispers only unless it's an emergency. There shouldn't be anyone else down here, but if there is we don't want them to know we're here too. Last one down pulls the manhole cover almost all the way back across - leave a gap, though, so it's not too hard to get out. Renegade, lead the way.

[Glass~Vendetta]

*I drop myself down inside the manhole. I only have to slump a little, since I'm pretty short. It doesn't smell half as horrible as I'd thought, it's basically a little tunnel. I look back and see the others starting to decend. My eyes start to adjust fairly quickly. Renegade starts to walk forward, starting with a cautious pace. I never thought I'd be wandering in the pipe system of Battery City. Soon enough everyone has climbed down and the manhole has been partly sealed. We're doing it now. Before we know it we'll reach the point of no return.*

[Arson Anthem]

*I pull my bandana up and climb down the dusty ladder, moving to stand by one of the tunnel walls and stooping slightly so I don't hit my head as the top curves down. We move off in single file, taking turns seemingly at random. The tunnels get wider as we near what must be the city wall, until we're walking along a ledge with an expanse of filthy water between us and the far wall*

[jumpstart]

*We follow the ledge until it widens a bit and there are recessed lights, all off, every 20 feet or so. I can see that this part is actually periodically checked on by maintenance crews and I hope we don't run into such a crew today. I wipe the sweat from behind the goggles and I can feel it seeping through my shirt where the backpack meets my back. It is even hotter down here than up above, an unfortunate side affect of sewers. PB hands me a water and I gulp some down before handing it up. The sewer gets even bigger, if that's possible...*

[Funhouse Gear]

*We've slowed down as we get into the tunnels beneath the city itself, and there are more and more side-tunnels and junctions. Several times we have to stop and I help Renegade figure out where we need to go next - even with his map, it's a maze down here. We're paused at a five-way intersection when there's a sudden shout from ahead, and I look up to see a white-uniformed worker shining a flashlight towards us* Crap... *I draw my gun, thinking to stun him, but suddenly four more men appear around a corner to our left* Everyone, move!

*We dodge down one of the tunnels to the right, but it's hard going with so many of us on such a narrow ledge. I slip and almost fall once, but manage to grab a protruding pipe and regain my balance. The men behind us are gaining, and when I hear the crackle of a radio I know they're calling for reinforcements - which means dracs*

[twistedpoison]

TAKE THEM OUT BEFORE THEY CALL!! *i grab the pipe that gear grabed and use it to tur around so i can aim*

[petroleumblaster]

*I start firing as soon as the shots start, making sure Jump is in the middle of our group. We round a corner and the tunnel splits in two. I move over to Arson* We should split into two, some of us drawing their fire while you and a group head straight for the tower. Radio us when you're done, we'll hold them off.

*Arson nods and starts to head out, picking a few of the others to go with her. I push Jump her way as well. When he protests I stare daggers into him, giving him the 'I'll kick your ass if you don't listen to me' look that Phantom was so good at. He puts his hand on my shoulder for a second and then follows Arson. Goodbye for now, Jump*

[Arson Anthem]

*I don't like splitting up like this, but I know PB's probably right. I take off down the new tunnel with Renegade, Gear, and Jump, and soon enough the sounds of the fighting begin to die down*

*I'm out of breath by the time we slow to a walk, and realize we're lost. Making sure there aren't any other crews nearby, we huddle around the map and trace back our route until we're pretty sure we know where we're going* All right, then. Off we go. *I see Jump's expression and sigh* I'm no happier about it than you are, Jump, but we can't think about the others now. Are you going to be able to do this?

[Glass~Vendetta]

*I grab on to a pipe with one hand and lean out to aim with the other.* Goddammit! *I curse as I almost trip. By some miracle I'm okay and I take a few shots. I'm pretty sure I hit one in the arm, but it's hard to focus. I find a small area where the ledge is a bit bigger, so I can take a normal stance. I shoot one. I don't bother to look at the damage.*

How many are there?! *I yell to no one in particular. The firing of the guns has a weird affect in the dark sewer, something I would have kind of enjoyed had the circumstances been different. I hear the stomps of more Dracs coming from my right.* And here they come!

[twistedpoison]

i follow arson, but before i duck into the tunnel, i turn 180, grab a shoot 3 shots, nailing 3 of them, one in the head, one in his gun hand so he couldnt shoot back ant the other in the lower chest area. then i book it down the tunnel and catch up with arson
