Henry tried to shove his way through the crowd but it was impossible with all the sharp weapons being thrown about. He looked around for an alternative path, there was none. Henry sighed and realized that he had to fight. He charged headlong and gunned down anyone who dared get close to him. However the crushing mass of bodes engulfed and nearly drowned Henry as his arms were pinned against his sides and there was no room to bring a gun up. It became brutal close combat as Henry punched, kicked, and elbowed his way out. "Nathan! I'm getting overwhelmed here! Use the sonic grenades!" Henry was wearing a power helmet so it should cancel out the grenade's sound. Henry ducked down and waited for the shockwave..

Mark yelled at Dimitri, "Catch!", and threw him a BAR. At the same time, he replaced his old Sniper Rifle with a M21 and found a Colt .45. As Mark looked around, he even found some Gammon grenades. Mark remarked, "British Gammon grenades? I thought they got rid of all existing stocks in the 1950s. This is a lucky find, as they appear to be of the anti-tank variety, so let's be very careful with these."

Demetri caught the automatic rifle, he pulled out the magazine that was in it and saw that it was empty, "Where did he store the ammo?" Demetri asked, looking around he found a pile of crates in the back, looking into them he found the ammo he need, "Found it," Demetri said, "Starr, maybe you can get something better then that pistol!"

Demetri did some more searching, he smirked at what he found, "Mark, I just found us some serious firepower," Demetri said, coming into view, Demetri hefted up a bazooka, "Think that bug's carapace could stop this?" Demetri asked, "A bit on the heavy side though."

((OOC: Talk about up your arsenal.))

Mark said, "It's worth a shot, I feel like we could take on all of Roy's security with all these armaments and ordinance." He then started grabbing as much ammo as he could carry.

Demetri gathered what ammo he could, he ditched his captured shotgun for the other weapons he got his hands on. He grabbed only three rockets for the bazooka, they were too big to carry a reasonable amount, he just hoped it was enough and stored them in a pack on his back.. Demetri also got hold of a revolver to use as a new side arm as Roy's men had taken his. "Grab anything you need," Demetri said, "But don't over burdern yourselves, we still need to be fast moving."

Mark said, "I'm ready, let's just wait for the other's to get what they want."

OOC: Narrggg.... Sick./
Nathan took his two remaining sonic grenades and tossed them into the crowd rushing to join Henry and plugging his ears after sheathing the kitchen knives in his belt.

OOC That's a good amount of firepower :gun:

Henry saw as the entire crowd parted and reeled away, most of their eardrums were bleeding and Henry picked up the GECK and ran towards the extraction point. 'Nathan! This is almost too easy!" Then Henry remembered about his leg and looked down, it was still bleeding, but he didn't even feel it until now. "Damn, we need to get out of here fast. If we leave now e can get out of here without any more trouble." Henry looked back at the tower, the XM-800 had killed almost half of his men and many more was prisoners in the tower. He made up his mind. "Nathan, when the vertibird gets here we're going back to even the score. We'll keep the GECK here, arm yourselves well and heal up.' The final showdown was coming...

Nathan recovered from the sound grenades ,dulled they were by his fingers, and waited for the vertibird to arrive. Nathan had an uneasy feeling that life was about to get much more difficult for him because of his choices.
/////
It moved, chasing these outsiders had become difficult in the tunnels of man so It had begun climbing outside again looking for more signs of these foreign entities.
Tasting the air It realized something ,The Heart, and jumped off the building in a cannonball of black carapace and screaming air.
The heart was missing again, It could not taste it here anymore, the outsiders could wait.

Tom hefted the Browning, checking its weight. I was actually fairly easy to carry by Tom's standards, and he figured he could run with it as well. He criss-crossed the bandolier of bullets across his chest, tossing aside his hunting rifle after retrieving his knife. He kept the sniper rifle, since it still had about 3 rounds left. Once they were spent, he would toss it. Tom looked to the others, indicating he was ready to go.

Starr pocketed her pistol looked around for a suitable weapon. She sifted through .22's, shotguns, and other pistols. Finally she found a weapon she wanted, she pulled an ak-47 out of a bin and grabbed five magazines. Then she grabbed one more rocket and put it in her pack, just in case.

"One more thing..." Starr said, as she grabbed a pair of BDU pants and boots.

Starr exited the room and found a place to change. She pulled off the button up shirt to reveal her tank top, then put on the pants and boots.

"Ready to rock," Starr said.

((OOC: It's 2:28 over here in New York so this is my last post for about 8 hours EST.))

Mark said, "Alright, let's go get that G.E.C.K." He then thought, "That's strange, I would've thought that thing would still be chasing after us. Oh well, it's best not to look a gift horse in the mouth."

Demetri nodded, he slung the B.A.R over his shoulder and carried the bazooka in his hands. "Who cares if it isn't attacking us," Demetri said, "Breathing room for now." Demetri led the group out into the hallway, they need to find the G.E.C.K before the fight reached them.

Tom walked backwards after them. His gaze was fixed back down the hallway, back towards the elevator. Tom didn't know where It was now, but he wasn't taking any chances. He turned back around, always glancing back, just in case. He wondered if Henry had managed to grab the GECK after Tom had put a round in his leg. Then he thought about Nathan, wondering if he was still helping Henry. Tom still found that particularly strange, given the fact that back in the Capital Wasteland, Henry would have killed Nathan for being a Ghoul. Tom shrugged it off now, focusing on the situation at hand.

Demetri led the group to a lower floor, with their new weapons they should hopefully be able to take on anything that comes their way. Demetri thought for a few moments. Getting the G.E.C.K was all well and good, but how were they getting back to the capital wasteland? Demetri assumed the train may not be there and walking through the train tunnel itself seemed the most viable option.

Demetri led the group into a large open room, crates and desk littered the place, but what caught Demetri;s intrest was how high the ceiling was. Demetri scanned the walls, but a crack caught his attention, it was much wider then most of the other cracks on the walls. Demetri looked at it harder, comeing to a realisation, "[censored]! Take cover!" Demetri shouted as the hidden machine gun spewed fourth bullets into the air. And shooting the gunner was made impossible due to only the small crack they had, also about half a dozen men ran into the room, taking cover and adding to the lead storm.

Mark yelled to Dimitri, "Do you want me to use one of these Gammon grenades? It'll kill all of these guys, but I can't predict how it'll affect this floor's structural integrity. It may just kill us as well, so I can only throw it while behind cover."

"No!" Demetri yelled over the bullets, "I'll use the bazooka, more likely to hit him." Demetri looked at the bazooka and realized, "I'm going to need help loading it, can't do it without standing up!" Demetri got his B.A.R ready, "Get over here, everyone else surpressing fire!" Demetri peered over his peice of cover and fired forcing some of the attacking men to duck into cover.

Mark yelled, "I'll help you load your bazooka." He then ran through a hail of gunfire to get to Dimitri's position. Mark then grabbed a bazooka rocket and said, "Alright, I'm ready when you are."

Demetri placed the Bazooka on his shoulder, "Put the rocket it in, then just tap once you're done," Demetri told him. Feeling the bazooka go forward as Mark put in the rocket, after being tapped Demetri leaned out of the cover and launched the rocket at where the machine gun was. Demetri watched as the rocket spiraled through the air and detonating upon the wall, debris was thrown all over the place and the dust slowly settled down from the ground. All that was left was a gaping hole in the wall where the machine gun once stood. "Lets finish this then," Demetri said, Demetri reloaded the B.A.R with a new magazine then went to work, killing two before they had a chance to react at the the groups ability to shoot back again.

At last after what seemed like forever the vertibird arrived ! Henry stepped inside to find that it was fully equipped and had vast stores of munitions and medical gear. Henry grabbed a few plasma grenades and decided that this fight may need some old-fashioned prewar guns. He took a SCAR-H and several magazines for it. Henry placed the GECK safely in the storage compartment and had the vertibird take off. Sitting in the passenger seat Henry drew out the plan. They would land on the roof then rappel down to the 6th floor and rescue the prisoners. The vertibird would then hover there and have the team jump on. "sounds like a good plan right?" However that would put the GECK in danger of being lost. Henry thought that it should be safe in the vertibird.

Mark saw the rocket fly through the wall and destroy the machine gunner. He then started shooting with his M21 sniper rifle, killing two men while they were distracted.

Tom moved over to a nearby window, peering out into the sky. He saw the vertibird coming and cursed under his breath before turning to the others "We gotta move, that would be Henry's extraction, and hes got the GECK." He broke the window with the Browning and pulled down the stands before setting them on the windowsill. He turned back once again "You guys go, I'll hang back and try and keep the vertibird at bay." Tom would wait for the vertibird to get closer before he let loose.

Henry knew that he had to get rid of loose ends or else Demetri would chase him to the ends of the earth. He ordered the pilot to keep his distance, if they got too close he was risking the GECK. He ordered the vertibird to fire off a salvo of rockets at that floor. Henry saw Tom at the window and thought Why does he always have to get in the way!. The rockets destroyed much of the floor however Henry couldn't see through the smoke. "OK! we're going in!" He suited up and got ready for the fight.

Demetri looked as the barrage of rockets came there way, "Get into cover now!" Demetri screamed at the top of his lungs as the rockets hurtled into the building, sending debris around the place and the tearing up the floor. Demetri fell through the to the floor below, landing hard on his back.

Demetri groaned in pain as he rolled over, he could hear one of Roy's men screaming, looking up Demetri could see why, a large peice of wood sticking through his gut. "Bloody hell," Demetri saud to himself, he couldn't see any of his companions, and he had lost his B.A.R, the bazooka was found under some rubble with it's ammunition, and Demetri still had his revolver.

Demetri called out for the rest of his group, trying to see if anyone of them survived the hell that was just unleashed upon them. Demetri looked through the rubble, digging through it whenever he saw skin, but most were dead men from Roy's gang. "Where are they?" Demetri asked himself as he searched.

Mark heard Dimitri yell, "Get into cover now!", as a rocket barrage destroyed the floor they were standing on. Mark fell to the floor below on his stomach, and felt a thump as Det landed on top of him, followed by a large, jagged piece of wood falling on Det's shell and bouncing off. Mark thought, "If Det hadn't been there I would've been a goner." He then dug himself out of the rubble and saw Dimitri calling out for them. Mark yelled, "Dimitri, I'm over here!", and waited for him to come over.
