RP I: The Tempest Rises

Forceuser · Post by **Forceuser** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 3:41 pm

Forceuser had recieved word from a friend who lived at 6 that the Tempests were attacking. He decided that now would be the time to gather his squad. Within 20 minutes they were all at his house and ready for battle. Piranha had also brought along his new WBL. The fastest way to 6 was by boat and Forceuser's dad had one that he let them use. They headed off for the marina at 5.

When they got there they boarded the boat. "Now would probably be a good time to put our new weapon to use." Forceuser told his team. He was referring to the Behemoth, a massive air pressure WBL mounted on the boat (although it could be removed it required three men to carry it&#33 . To allow it to take maximum pressure, the pressure chamber consisted of several old oxygen tanks. It was pressurised by a pump attached to an outboard. On a single balloon (which had to be double thickness due to the forces exerted on it&#33 it could fire up to half a mile. Even loaded up with ten balloons (the maximum) it still had good range.

They headed off with Forceuser at the helm to the port at 5. It was a fast boat so it did not take long. Within a short time they were there. Before disembarking Forceuser decided to contact the militia at 6. He pulled out his radio and hoped they were listening.

At the warehouse at 6, where the militia was based, one of the troops was searching radio frequencies. Suddenly he exclaimed. "Sir, someone is calling for us on the radio." NiborDude turned to him. "Who is it?" "Someone called Forceuser, sir." "I've heard of him, he runs a small squad on the other side of the mountain. Pass it over." Nibor took the radio and pressed the talk button.

"Hello? Hello? Forceuser? Do you read?" said Nibor on the radio, he heard something on the radio but couldn't understand it due to static, he tried to talk to Forceuser again. They got a response from him. It said "Hi, It's Forceuser, I am heading to the port in the town of 5." "Yes, we copy" said Nibor over the radio, then they lost him.

Racer had gotten word of the tempest attacks from his friend in 2, he then decided to hop on his motor scooter and take off with his WBL, XP 75 and CPS 1500 to 6, and around the mountain he goes to 6 with a radio and tried to get connection to Nibor and Dux.

Forceuser turned to his squad "Dang, we lost them! OK, Sophie and Stingray stay with the boat, Piranha grab your WBL and come with me. We're going to find them."

Forceuser left his 2000 and grabbed his collossused 4100, he wanted to travel light. Piranha and him set off at a run for 6.

EDIT: Forgot to end the bold tag! :huh:

Ed dragged his luggage thru the check-in counter at the airport. The long flight had gave him a headache.

(flashback)

The Tempest merely smirked at a furious Ed. "Fool. While you and your allies were chasing me, my second-in-command and my most elite troops have escaped. Soon, he will take over as the new Tempest, and he will lead my team to rule all Soakerdom!"

(end flashback)

What did he mean by that? Ed kept asking that question to himself, but the answer never came.

"Ed!"

Once again, his memories crashed to a stop. Nat was running towards him.

Ed grinned. "What took that plane so long?" he asked Nat.

"So sue me. The weather was terrible, according to that control tower."

"Details. Boring. C'mon, let's see if we can find the rest of the guys." The duo walked out of the terminal towards one of the cargo planes.

One of the baggage handlers was pushing out Ed's bike from the plane. "Yo, nice ride, bro!" he said to Ed when he saw the duo.

"Yeah, thanks." he replied as he clipped on the luggage.

Ed slung himself over his beloved bike, and the 4-stroke engine growled to life. The duo then rode off towards the main town.

Forceuser, could you could add a few more roads and places? Also, have a mountain pass that has many (and I mean many) corners.

There was a sort of uneasy atmosphere in the air, Spinner felt. It was hot and sticky, and there was a malevolent feel about the weather. It had been very quiet, otherwise. He had brought up his old 1700 and his PowerPak in case of an emergency. He realised, however, the difficulties of defending his residence from attackers.

He walked down his drive to the gate. He glanced up at the sun, set down his bottle of water, and got to work with his plan.

[at] Bunny - I quote myself: "there are small well-known paths, that are not on the map"

These are large enough that you can ride a bike down them but there are lethal corners! There is also a path like this that runs from 2 to 6 over the mountain but it is hazardous. As for places, I don't want to make it too complicated by having too many.

Forceuser and Piranha approached 6 from the south and came to the abandoned area of town. They had to move cautiously now as they knew Tempests might in the area. They slowly made their way through the buildings keeping an eye out for any movement.

Suddenly Forceuser heard the sound of feet. He pulled Piranha into the protection of a nearby building. Glancing round the corner, he saw a column of Tempest troops heading west. "West?" Force thought to himself, "Why are they heading that way?"

They waited for the troops to pass and then carried on. Soon they were outside the warehouse.

The guard the militia had posted outside saw Forceuser and Piranha round the corner. He grabbed his WBL and was about to shoot them in the mistaken belief they were Tempest.

"Don't shoot!" Forceuser called out. Piranha and him held their guns above their heads. The guard hesitated. Hearing the commotion NiborDude ran over to the door. "Put that weapon down!" He shouted at the guard, "Do they look like Tempests to you? That's Forceuser." "Sorry, sir." Force and Piranha ran over to Nibor. "Well what's been happening adn what are we going to do?" Force asked.

EDIT: I'll remember to end these bold tags one day! <_<

Nibor told Forceuser the events that had happened durring the day. He also told Forseucer about the second base that was on the other side of the mountain. After discussing about what to do, it was agreed upon that no one was to start any conflicts yet. The small army that was massing in the town of 6 was still too small to take on the Tempests. They would hold the town until enough re-enforcements had arived to attack one of the 2 bases near the mountain. Mean while the construction of the barricades in the town where going underway. The town would need to be highly defendable, since it seemed like the army was going to have to stay there for a while. WBL's and guns were stock piled for when the next attack by Tempests occurred. People from all over the island were now joining into the army. Bringing with them supplies and ammo. One of the men was positioned on the roof of the warehouse. He was watching the Tempests by the caves. He then yelled down to Duxburian. "Dux! You might want to take a look at this!" Dux went to the roof and looked into the benoculars of watchman. His eyes lit up. He could see tons of Tempests coming out of the caves. Dux counted over 50 of them. This was not good. He called down to Nibor who was helping on the barricades, "Nibor! Theres a huge army of 50 or more out there! No way in Hasbro HQ can we stand up to that!" Thinking quickly Nibor got a plan. "Hey Dux! Remember all of those water mines we have!" Dux smiled an evil grin.

Someone take it from there. I've writen too much in this RP already.

Forceuser · Post by **Forceuser** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 8:58 pm

Forceuser took Piranha's WBL and sent him back to boat, instructing him to bring the rest of the squad and the Behemoth as quickly as possible. Piranha ran off.

Leaving Dux to deal with the water mines, Forceuser was organising the defenders. He was confident that with the water mines and, when it got there, the Behemoth they could defeat this group of Tempests.

EDIT: *Hits self over head with large piece of wood.* Must remember to end bold tags!

Cmon! Sombody add something about me!

Forceuser · Post by **Forceuser** » Sat Nov 27, 2004 10:22 am

[at] Racer - You know you can always include yourself, but anyway I'll do something.

Racer kept trying to get hold of the militia on the radio but there was nothing. Why weren't they hearing him?

At the warehouse the radio operator was confused. Someone was using one of the channels but he was hearing only static. He held down the talk button, "Hello is anyone there?" There was no reply.

Racer suddenly heard a burst of static from the radio. He wondered what was going on. Then a thought came to him. What if the Tempests were somehow jamming all radio frequencies? Worried about what he had just found out, he decided to go and find the militia. He carried along the road to 6. As he rounded a corner, he caught sight of a group of Tempests. What he didn't realise was that this was only the edge of the group attacking 6. He swerved off the road and out of sight.

"What am I going to do?" He thought to himself. The he noticed a small path leading off the road. He smiled. He restarted his engine and headed off down the path.

Meanwhile back at the warehouse, Dux and the militia had just finished laying the water mines. The Tempests were over half way there now. Forceuser took his eyes off the approching Tempests and felt a sense of impending doom. Just then, he heard Piranha's voice. He turned round. The Behemoth had arrived! They quickly set up it up on the roof of the warehouse, loaded with ten balloons.

Something drew Forceuser's eye to the east. A motor scooter appeared from the forest. Force grabbed the nearest WBL and raised it to firing height. Something stopped him from firing. That definitely wasn't a Tempest. The scooter pulled up at the bottom of the warehouse. "Hi, I'm Racer." Forceuser jumped down and extended his hand. "Forceuser."

Racer explained to Forceuser what he had found out. Just as Force was thinking about it, Stingray called out. "The Tempests are in range." Everyone started rushing into position.

I finally remembered to end the bold tag!

EDIT: Spelling and grammar

Spinner stood back and surveyed his work. It was about 15:30 hours, and the sun had done its best to bake him, but he had managed to complete his project to his satisfaction. It was now time to return to the house.

Having got back, he heard his radio buzzing away. He quickly realised that someone was jamming the waves. "I don't like this at all," he told himself. "I hope that someone turns up before the marauding Tempests do, as I won't be able to hold out long against a prolonged attack."

He then checked out his old jeep. Capable of conveying two or three people at high speeds, and a WBL and water machine gun in the front passenger's seat, it had been an extremely valuable asset in his previous wars.

"I wonder..." he mused, stroking his chin,

Suddenly making a decision, he threw his 1700 and Power Pak in the back, jumped in the driving seat, and plunged down the drive in search of allies.

Forceuser · Post by **Forceuser** » Sat Nov 27, 2004 3:13 pm

The militia opened fire on the Tempests with WBLs. However the Behemoth sat silent and all the shots went long. Racer looked at Forceuser. "What's going on? How come everyone missed?" "You'll see." Force replied. The Tempests returned fire and, seeing the terrible aim of the militia, they charged. Straight into the water mines. Seeing water mines explode all around them, some of them turned and started running backwards. Then another wave of balloons landed behind them. they could retreat but they would be hit by the WBL fire from the militia. Then, the behemoth fired. Its sheer power sent ten balloons flying high in the air before coming thundering down on the Tempests. Several of the Tempests went flying after receiving direct hits. That was enough for them. They turned and ran. "There not safe yet!" Force laughed. The Behemoth was reloaded, but only with five balloons this time giving it more range. It fired again. Through a pair of binoculars, Force saw some more Tempests fall. Once again the Behemoth was reloaded but this time only with one balloon. The Tempests were getting further away and were nearly past the maximum range. It fired. The last balloon sailed high in the air, buffeted by the wind. The Tempests, thinking they were safe, had slowed down. The balloon landed right on the commander. The speed of the balloon when it hit him was enormous. Force saw him go flying forward, roll once and then hit the ground unconscious. The attack was over. However Force did not feel relieved, he knew it was only just beginning.

Spinner rumbled on in the jeep. Just ahead of him was the town of 6. Then he heard noises. Battle noises. "What's going on?" he wondered. "Where are the Tempests?" He didn't have to wait much longer for his answer as three or four soldiers with the distinctive Tempest armband came rushing round the corner. He instantly grabbed his 1700 and ordered: "Halt!"

They skidded to a stop and wearily raised their hands. Spinner grinned. "Time for some information, people."

Forceuser · Post by **Forceuser** » Sat Nov 27, 2004 4:09 pm

At the warehouse everyone was refilling and reloading their weapons and repairing any damage that had been done, relieved the assualt was over. Forceuser, however, was getting ready to go after the Tempests. He turned to Duxburian, "I'm going to take my squad and head after the Tempests to the caves. I know a hidden entrance which leads to the main caves through some tunnels. We're going to go in there and see what we can find out. The radios aren't working so as soon as we've found out what we want, I'll send Piranha back." "What about you and the rest of your squad?" "We'll stay there and find out what we can." "OK. It's risky but we need some info. Good luck!" "Thanks."

Forceuser gathered his squad and they set off at a brisk jog. They all knew how dangerous the mission was but that wasn't stopping them. They even knew that if they were found out then the main priority was to get Piranha out, even at the expense of the rest of them. They put their faith in their skills and, if it came to it, their weapons.

It was a dark shed...

Spinner locked up the tempest troops in an old shed about a 5th of a mile from 6, it was cold in there, and the Tempest's guns were in a sack next to Spinner, "I need some info from you" said Spinner, "W-what do you want?" said the Tempest troops, "I want to know why you are only attacking the town of 6, and none of the other towns" "I-I don't know" "Just tell me!" "There is a special... Thing in 6" "What kind of thing? Give me more info" said Spinner.
