((And so this, the battle to determine our fate has sprung. Neither warrior nor scribe can tell what stands before us, but the one who rides a white horse!)) (Poetic sort of don't you think, at least for an unknowing battle )

Jon quickly took his position to fire, he wouldn't last long against a Bloodclaw. He was stunned by the large almost Ultra Behemoth, but had to concentrait on what was coming. He quickly took his aim, targeting a Bloodclaw. He fired a single shot, hitting the Bloodclaw in the right eye, blowing skull and brains out the back of its head. Jon didn't have time to speak, he was all business and always had been during a fight.

He quickly targetted another Bloodclaw, this time only piercing its shoulder, fazing the beast for a moment before another bullet was shot into the center of its chest killing it for good.

(Sorry for short post, don't want to kill to many off at the very beginning)

Kross watched the enormous Super Mutant kill the bloodclaws with ease. He rushed up and picked a fight with one of the bigger bloodclaws. Their hands struck each other with force. They each pushed each other. Kross said to the bloodclaw, "Brother, you do not have to fight me. Only fight for the good of the wasteland!" The bloodclaw spoke back in a rough tone.

"I will never join forces with a traitor!"

"Then you will die with you're leader!" Kross pushed the blood claw off balence before sliting it's throat with his claw. He payed quick respects before re entering the fight.

(OOC: So far, very epic, now we wait for Is It Just Me? again, may you return soon my friend!)

Sarah stood atop a large rocky outcrop, the very one she stood on when she commanded the first ghoul uprising to take down megaton the first time, her mind flashed back to that night, and she stared at the place were she had buried the little girl she killed that night, her blood was racing, she looked around the battlefield for any points of intrest, she notcied some rather pin pointed shots coming from the entrance of the gates, the shots were focusing on BloodClaws, John. She continued looking and saw one of her children locking claws with Kross, For all of the battle she did not see Tom, but she continued surveying the battlefield. She looked back at the grave of the child just as their "Ultra Behemoth" crushed the small stone that had marked her death.

Anger filled her from Head to Toe, her one last tether to the mortal realm destroyed, her one last reminder of her humanity, gone she decided to teach this petty resistance that with the farewell of that grave went the farewell of them. Her bloodlust had reached its limit and she let out a screech, a screech that peirced the ears of every man woman supermutant and bloodclaw on the battlefield, bringing some to their knees. Atom nodded in aproval and sarah rushed to bloodstained battle.

She slaughtered her way through the bloody melee, rending flesh from bone and heads from shoulders, spines grew from her back and swatted out bullets from mid air, and killed any she left alive, within atleast 2 miniutes she and her small contingent of GoreClaws had reached their target the Ultra Behemoth, with his focus on her warriors at its feet she focused on his head, wrapping around it and unleashing a volley of spines into its skull but it was for naught, he continued to bash on, she let out another screech this time sounding like a name, Lucy, she continued hacking at its head untill it brought its own hammer against its head, smashing through its skull killing itself, sarah laughed as she rode its corpse down to the ground, when she hit she screeched again louder and louder, she stunned the entire battlefield with her Banshee like screeching.

She continued fighting untill she felt one of her spines being hurt, not a normal occurance, she looked to where the bullet came from, John, she stared at him through the scope of his rifle, changing her head into that of a little girls, she imprinted Lucy's voice into his head, "Please mister dont hurt me" with the soft sounds of sobbing, she saw him flinch before he shot at her again this time she gleefully dodged as it pierced the back of a mutant poised to hit her from behind, she transformed her face back into her Ghoul face, she nodded thankfully, increasing what little embarassment he would have, she grew spines to shield her face, and she ran off to the other side of the battle well out of johns depleted uraniam fire.

Incy Wincy Sarah Climbed into the town of megaton
Down came the Uranium and washed the spidey out
then came the Atom and dried up all the uranium
And incy wincy sarah climbed into the town again

She gleefully chanted loud enough so that john could hear her, as she ran off into the shadows cackling to herself...

(OOC: OMG, DeadlySin that was almost poetic, I loved it, I would post again right now... But I'll let someone else have a go.)

Atom had still to move, the battle waged before him to decide the fate of all that lived and would live, the ultra behemoth had done massive damage to his contingent of deathclaws, but this was a technicality. To Atom only two beings on the blood drenched plain had the power to decide the day, Atom was weary of Tom, his power was new, unkown, deadley. " Tom, your behemoth fell down, I'll help him up. " Atom exited the atoms of the beasts body flinging it into the sky towards the lines of brotherhood soldiers, the beast crushed many and lay to a final rest. " Tom this effort is unessercary, come to me and i will spare you the horrors you strive to earn."
Atom lifted an arm sending a wave of radiation over the first holding line of the opposition soldiers, most died instantly others faltterd enough for a bloodclaw to breech thier defences. " Sarah, I tire of that fool with the rifle killing my soldiers, do now what you failed in underworld least you feel my dissapointment." Atom projected the message directly into Sarahs mind so not to demean her infront of her troops or the enemy. His next message was steered at Tom " How long will you fight Tom before you realise that my blood claws are infinate and my power un-matched??? will you fight till you tire and die at the hands of my beast's or will you do the right thing and run, cower from my majesty. These fools are not worth dying for, you are better."

Atom punctated his point by felling one of Toms behemoths with a wave of the hand.

I bared my teeth and replied, Well, Atom, I must tell you something, you think yourself so powerful you can kill anything. Of course, you can kill almost anything, but there is one that you CANNOT defeat. I give you a chance, well actually, a demand, we will meet in the middle of this battlefield. We'll fight to these postions, one will stand in the end, one will fall. I'll meet you there, Atom, don't cheat either, walk, show some pride, if you are all powerful, stand against me and win.

I quickly jumped down from my vantage point, I moved through the bustling bodies, either shooting, bleeding or dying, standing, crouching or lying. I grimaced and continued moving, I quickly made it to the point in the center of the battlefield, all my own men ignored me, as did the Bloodclaws. I stood, in the middle of a fight between a single Deathclaw and three hunters. I waited for Atom to appear in front of me, I waited to meet my fate. I waited, for my destiny.

Sandra felt the cold sting of his words as she pierced her way through the sides of megaton, she quickly transformed into a BOS warrior and ran towards the entrance to megaton, she climbed up to the nest and pulled out a laser rifle, she stood there firing into the fray, not hitting anything in particular, she soon tired of the sharade and stood up expressing the fact that she was going into the front lines, as she did she unleashed two spikes from her hands into the two other snipers in the nest, john spun around shooting at her and winging her arm.

She transformed and screams from inside megaton was heard as some ghouls punctured the front lines and entered into megaton, the siege was going well although there was massive defences on the inside, she held john in the air choking him before another shot from his rifle pierced her leg, she tossed him down the stairs and rode him down, nothing more than a few minor bruises, she grabbed him and tossed him against the wall of moriarties saloon, she leapt up as laser fire bounced off her outer carapace, john was still clenching his rifle with all of his stregnth, he continued to shoot at her, she flung him to the ground and stood breathing heavily.

She raised her hands and Amassed a wall of spines to cover them, a one on one fight, One survivor One loser, the ultimate battle had begun, she stood there standing erect as her skin slowly started to regenerate from the shots of uranium, the regeneration was slow almost non-existant but still happened.

"Your Move, Uranium"

" As you wish old nemesis, you dissapoint me. " Atom decended to the ground and strode towards Tom. Atom cut down any enemy in his path on the way, one fule had even tried to grab him, this didnt end well for the paladin. " Bloodclaws fall back!!!!" Atom barked the order in a voice deep and bestial, a voice from so far down the deep pit of dunwich it had once spawned an idea of all evil on the planet. " People of the waste, your champion challenges me. He shall die and so shall you all, if you interfere my bloodclaws will decend." Atom stopped filtering his glow, he was blinding to all but his adversary. " Make your move, enjoy it you will not experience another. " Atom shiffted his form to one he felt more comfortable, a young idealistic ghould radical he could no longer recall the name of, all was the same but the eyes exploded with glorious red light.

I suddenly burst out laughing, I don't know why, but I felt the need to laugh at this thing's speech. Then I stopped as I saw the form Atom took, he looked like Eli. I gulped then took a breath, I let it out then chuckled, "So, Atom, I hope your ready this day? For this day will be your last, although, I'm not denying it'll be my last either. I hope your ready though, for I won't give up easily, oh and don't try any radiation tricks, it won't work on me." I brought up my hand and layed it flat, laying in it was a simple briefcase.

I grinned, "This is, well, something I found," I quickly popped it open and pulled out a tiny metal device, I grinned then clicked a button on it, I threw it at Atom suddenly and he simply dodged it, I laughed. The device came within a metre of his body and it beeped once, suddenly it exploded. I watched Atom blink in annoyance and I laughed again, "That was a simple grenade, all it's done is... Well, it's reduced the radiation levels in your body dramatically, now you won't be able to kill me with radiation. Makes it fair."

I chuckled, then I ran at Atom, I raised my arm and hit him in the face with my hand. I heard a crunch but right afterwards I heard the snap of the bone as it replaced itself, I grunted then I remembered my song that I'd sung, I stopped suddenly, right in front of him. I couldn't move, I felt the words echoing through my head and I sung them aloud, "I don't want to set the world, on, fire. I just want to start, a flame in your heart..." I stopped then looked Atom in the eyes, when I saw a flicker of movement.

" a grenade and a song wont save you fool." Atoms voice was angry and strong, the glow increased in his eyes. Deep in his chest though he could feel something, it was cold, colder than anything he had ever felt. " I am the night and the day, the creature in the darkness all who come before me shall fall to my might. You would dare attempt to steal the power of a god. " Atom exploded with rage, the fool thought radiation was the sole method of his power, Atom controlled matter itself. Atom breathed in svcking the light from a bubble covering twenty yards, onnly his eyes pierced the murk. " You are alone in the dark and no song will save you now." Atom gripped one of Toms arms, he pulled ripping the limb off at the joint. " Your death will be slow and you shall fell the glory of Atom." Atom could feel the cold expanding through him it pushed the other parts of his form further from eachother as the words inffected his mind.

ive got a party that i realy have to go to, Francois, DS, Mad Max post your reply and i will end it tommorw. I can not stress this enough, my next post will be the last from anyone

I stopped and I let the pain flow through my body, I grimaced, I felt the blood flow from the wound, I laughed loudly and I said, "You think you can kill me like this? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to take my time and kill you slowly then, Atom, you think yourself a god, yet you are so pathetic. You may have power, but it is dark, when I found that device what felt like years ago, I knew I would need it. Now I realise why," I muttered to him, then I pulled in all the energy I'd been saving, I pushed against Atom's will.

I pushed away the darkness, just enough for it to be a mid-light, I laughed, then I moved closer to Atom. I moved right up to him and I whispered in his ear, "You think this is just a simple song? No, it's a message, for I don't want to set the world on fire, I want to start a flame in your heart." I then put my hand right over the left side of his chest. I poured all my energy into him, I felt my life slipping away as I gave him more energy, then I contacted the energy that was in his heart. I chuckled, "To slay a dragon, you must enter it's lair..."

I changed it into a flaming power that I planned to rip through his soul, but I knew he would try to stop me, so I tried one last thing. I sighed then reached inside myself, I teared out my heart, I threw it behind me and I felt my life ebbing away. I looked at him in the eyes and I felt crushed, "Eli, Eli, oh Eli, why did you ask for me to change you? God, my old friend... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Then I fell forward into the dirt, with my last will of energy, I ignited the energy in Atom's heart.

I didn't hear whether it killed him or not, everything for me, went black.

(OOC: Still alive? Doubt it but we'll see.)

Jon recovered from the almost bone breaking smacks and hits against the walls. He had a few cuts and scrabes, but nothing serious enough to kill or hinder him in anyway. He stood strong, ready for their final showdown. The spikes were all around, surrounding them so no one could get in. But people could still see inside. Some BOS Knights and some wasteland warriors stood trying to cut down the spikes, but were having trouble with the thick strong.

Jon quickly fired three rounds, hitting Sarah in the shoulder. The rounds burned deep into her flesh, giving Jon time to fire two more, hitting her in the thick of her left thigh.

"Don't worry Sarah this will be quick!" Jon said charging forward, his bayonet attached to his rifle. This would be the end of it all, soon the wasteland would be free of Atom and Sarah's tyranny.

Sorry Johnathan, I am not ment to leave this field of battle, sandra said bowing her head and raising her claw, she took the bayonet deep in her arm, she grabbed the rifle and swung it out of his hands or atleast that is what she thought would happen, john held on for dear life flailing around gripping tightly to his gun launching rounds into her hand and arm, she continued flinging him against walls and the ground untill he was out of ammo and her arm was a deshriviled wreck dangling off her arm, she let out a mighty howl and leapt into the air crashing down on john.

"Our leaders die together it seems only fitting that we shall do the same"

Sandra said leaping up with john in her arms through the spines, laser fire sounding through the air, she looked mournfully at the grave of the small child that she had killed, lucy. Im sorry lucy, Im so sorry. she said as she mounted john, pulling his arms together with one hand and his legs with the other, she pushed down on his back, as they floated through the air.

"Dont you remember this John? Paradise Falls, Where it all went to Hell. All Becuase of You."

-------------------------

add into your reply if you dont like this

OOC: Sandra mounted John :rofl:

Jon looked at Paradise Falls, looking at the crummy little piece of slaver junk. He couldn't help but look at it, he looked at Sandra with sorrowed eyes, he should never have left her alone and maybe none of this would have happened.

"Yes, I remember. But we don't have to die, let Atom or Eli... Whatever his name is! Die with Tom and Kross. We can go and live our own seperate lives in solitude. Make it easier on the wasteland rather than this pointless loss of life."

Jon was still trying to talk her out of dying, and maybe she would become a Shaolin Munk with him?

Kross was done. Done waiting. Done. Being thrown about. He jumped as high as he could. He pushed his claw up and high, tearing through an unprotected area of Sarah's back. "You changed me, but I will help destroy you!" He screamed. What happened next, was expected. All though he had dealt major damage to Sarah, she shot spines out of the wound and they peppered Kross. He looked at his now shreaded chest. The plate was still there, with small pieces of bone in it. "Im sorry Jon! I have failed you friend! Good luck, I will see you on the other....si......de..." His dying breath shot out mass of radiation, and his skeliton exploded, sending all of the fragments toward Sarah and Jon.

"No, John It is too late, Not even Tom can save you now, Death will come, For both of us" she said as her back bled out.

Their speed was increasing, she started spinning around, drilling him into the air, as they closing into the ground, sarah saw someone, something floating in her vision a young girl. Lucy, she spoke to sarah and told her of the pain she would go through the pain she was in, all could be avoided by letting john go, sarah pleaded with the ghost to leave her mind, to leave her alone, she was screaming as the ghost tried to reason with her.

"You win lucy" Sarah said tossing Jon aside, grabbing him again and slowly coming down to the ground with the stop of her spines, she grabbed his rifle and smashed it against a rock, she turned his back to him and started walking off.

"Enjoy your life jon, The Shao Lin way."

She stared to stare into the sun that slowly rose over the battlefield, she raised her hand and sent a message to her Bloodclaws, 'Return to your homes, Gentle ones, Return to the untainted lifes you lead before i came into your world, please find peace' she said lowering her hand, transforming into her human form and walking away, she stared back at jon who stared back at her, she nodded and kept walking she didnt know what she would hope for, she was invincible and immortal what life could she lead now?

Jon was completely confused at what was happening. His gun was smashed, again, and the only weapon he had was a Colt 1911 that had a few clips of the DU rounds. He looked on top of a hill, and saw the sun crest over it as he walked away from the battle, away from the D.C. Ruins, away from what he had once known. He started South East, racing away from Megaton and the battle that was a total bloodbath of Bloodclaws and wastelanders alike.

Everything Jon had fought for was over, he would never hurt a living creature again. Only in self-defence would he raise his hand, but not in wild anger. The sun rose a bit higher as the battle became more of a distant shadow.

Jon turned around, looking and tryed to spot Sandra. He couldn't see her through the wild fighting.

"Good-bye Tom, Sandra, Kross, and good bye Eli." Jon turned and continued out into the wasteland, to live his last days out as a Shaolin Monk.

I let my eyes open slowly, I heard a beating in my heart, I looked up and I saw Atom stumbling. I watched him fall to the ground and I spluttered, "Well, my old friend, I think, this is it, hey? Guess I don't just have one heart anymore... Haha, well, goodbye Atom, I hope you burn in hell..." I felt my hearbeat slow and I stared into the distance, I felt irradiated tears come to my eyes and I let them flow. I remembered my whole life, everything I'd done to get where I was now.

I looked at Atom and smiled again, "Eli, my old friend... God, I wish you'd survived. God, I wish I'd never done what I did... I'm sorry, goodbye, if you live through this, I hope you can control Atom..." I let the beating in my heart to slow, I watched him smile and I smiled back. I closed my eyes, I saw my vision go red, then white, everything went cold and I opened my eyes again. I saw the woman I'd loved back before the war, I smiled and I whispered, "I love you..." I watched my view dissapear and I grinned.

That RP was tucking epic. Congratulations guys, that's going in the books.

And that is how the last great war of the wasteland played out. Gods among men defending thier lands against demons in the dark. Holding when a seemingly insumountable enemy stared them in the face, not losing thier courage even as the armys of hell itself charged towards them, the sun outshone by the blood red glow of death.
Atom in his last moments had felt himself disperse and scatter back amongst the wastes to wait once more for another like Eli.
The trees atom had spawmed faded and fell back without his will supporting them. His horde of deathclaws disspersed, maddened by thier defeat and the loss of thier grand matron. THey were eventualy tracked down by the brave men and women who upheld the freedom of the wastes.
As time has gone Atom has become myth and legend, a thing to scare the children of the wastes to bed on time. Eli himself has become the stuff of fables, proving the adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely
Not much is known about those who were able to leave the filed with thier lives in tact, some say they sleep readey for Atom to awaken again readey to serve or resist the his infinite rage for you can not kill an idea for that ia all atom ever was, an idea. A psychotic monster that lurks in the dark, the personnification of war and war, war never changes.

==============================================

OOC: You should all be very proud of yoursleves, you all did very well and this RP wouldnt have been what it was without any of you.

Well alright! It's finally over, Atom disappeared into what he was. And all while Jon, who now lives in the Florida Everglades in a small shack being a Shaolin Monk, did a little jig while he walked away that no one saw.

Sarah know lives to the west, with her skin rotting she is still invincible but she is a hollow shell of what she once was she lives in a swamp in a small shack, trying to forget her past, some say she is a witch, others say she is a ghoul. No-one knows her true face her true past for if they did she would be hunted once more.

She sheltered a young girl who was cast out of her home, She named her Lucy and now mothers her and protects her, she is trying to atone for her crimes, a battle she cannot win.

Tom died, that explains it right? I had a great time during this RP, I hope you all did to!
