Re: [RIOT EVENT, OPEN] The Downtown Barbecue

Aella considered swooping down to attack the pony that stood near her handler. Kroll seemed to have things under control though, so she stayed put for now

Kroll gave the new pony a half lidded glare as he tightened his grip on his tonfa. He didn't know who this newcomer was, or what relation she had to the stallion she stood alongside, but the fact that she was ordering the captain to let the rioter go free was enough of an issue.

"While you may not have committed any crimes to my knowledge, Equestrian, the stallion beside you has." uttered the tercel in a flat tone, shifting his stance slightly. "To allow him to go free would be an insult to those he has harmed, not to mention a gross violation of my duties."

Kroll paused for a moment as he felt a sudden sharp pain from his head injury, causing the tercel to shudder and jerk his head to the side slightly before taking a calm breath, refocusing his attention on the mare and stallion before him.

"I would also like to advise you that you are in no position to threaten me, Equestrian. You are surrounded by skilled combatants that are standing by on my orders, and they will not sit idly if you choose to instigate; do not test us, you will fail."

Gritting his beak as he felt the pain in his head slowly ebb away, the captain's muscles tensed with anticipation as he spoke, his calm tone carrying a hint of impatience. "I will not repeat myself again. Stand down."

Feral stared at Kroll, eye's twitching every so often as he processed his words.

'Run! Grab Shade and run!' A voice in his head commanded. He wanted to, but he was so ready to kill the deserving that he didn't want to leave.
"NO! Nonono NO!" He yelled as he hit himself in the head to try and silence the voice. That wouldn't work however, because the command kept being told to him regardless of his response.

'Yeah, yeah right. You don't really care about yourself, I get that. But if a fight starts here, right now, Shade will die! If you don't run you'll both die!' The voice said.
Suddenly, Feral stopped what he was doing and looked back at Kroll, then to the Griffons on the roof. The voice was right, he couldn't take the risk.
He quickly turned around and ran towards Shade, still running on his hind-legs, he grabbed her as he ran by regardless of her response and started sprinting in the opposite direction compared to the griffons, taking the earliest turn into an ally when one was available.

The griffon's answer settled it, and much to Shade's expectations. She'd have been surprised if they let Scrapper go just like that, and was already trying to figure out how to best escape, while her lover hit himself. She wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad sign, but when he lifted her up moments later, she decided to take it as a good sign, and quickly got on his back. Good thing she was a lightweight, and a good deal smaller than him.

But a successful escape was going to be difficult. They certainly already had several crosshairs on them. Here on this open road, it was a pretty concerning problem, and even if they managed to get better cover against the crossbows, they'd have to deal with flying pursuers in uncomfortable numbers. But cover first, or they might not even reach the side streets.

Unfortunately, the only sufficiently large objects lying around where the fleshy, bleeding ones. Not very tasteful, and relatively heavy, but there wasn't any time to be picky. Goodby magic reserves, Shade thought as her horn blazed unusually strongly to lift up two bodies and drag them along as Scrapper ran, only moments after they had started. From their left and right they'd be very hard to hit, and Shade watched out behind and above them for griffons who could get a good shot, prepared to send her shurikens out and distract them from actually shooting.

Kroll watched the crazed rioter rear up onto his hind legs and screech like a maniac before charging at the mare, scooping her up in his forearms as he runs off, somehow managing to maintain a perfect balance of forward momentum and balance. The guards on the rooftop didn't hesitate to start launching a volley of arrows at the escaping pair, but remained rooted to their positions to keep the streets secure for the medical team that was bound to arrive at any moment.

After giving himself a moment to realize that what was unfolding before his eyes was not in fact a result of his head injury, the captain sprung into action, moving in a staggering sprint to retrieve his rifle. However, by the time the tercel was able to reclaim his firearm, the ponies were gone, having disappeared into a nearby alleyway. Seeing that the targets were gone, Kroll dropped down to one knee as he felt a surge of pain from the wound on the back of his head. As he knelt to ground one of the guards under his command came up to him.

"Sir, the Equestrians are getting away!" the guard said in earnest as he quickly glanced over the condition of his leader. "They couldn't have gotten too far at this rate, I can scramble a team of three and go after them if you wish."

Kroll shook his head as he pushed himself off the ground with a pained grunt, using his rifle as a leaning post. "No, no...let them run away. They'd be fools to try and instigate things further elsewhere in the city, but we'll need to stay alert in case they do. In the mean time, we need to keep this area secure; medical teams should be here any moment now..."

Aella swooped down from the roof and landed next to Kroll, keeping her head on the swivel in search of potential threats.

"Sir, are you allright?"

by **Hijinks** Fri Jul 04, 2014 11:42 pm

Hijinks watched her two friends run away, it was utterly bizarre and hilarious because Scrappy was somehow running on two legs.

When Aella flew off the roof of the building that they were on, Hijinks realized she had no way of getting down. Or did she? Getting up, Hijinks decided to wander around along the rooftops in search of a way down and maybe even enjoy the scenery a bit. Burning cities always look pretty.

Kroll nodded in response to the hen's inquiry, grimacing as he does his best to ignore the painful throbbing of his head injury. "I'm fine, Aella, just fine." he grunted as he turned to see the medical team round the corner and start making their way towards the wounded civilians the guards have been keeping an eye on.

"About damn time..." the captain growled as he pushed off of his rifle and made a beeline towards the leader of the medical team, a bespectacled unicorn with two saddlebags bulging with supplies. After giving the Equestrian a brief chewing out, Kroll turned away and started making his way back towards Aella, signaling to the guards nearby and on the rooftops to form up. Once they had all gathered around, the captain pointed at the tercel who spoke to him earlier.

"You. Take four guys and stay here with the medical crew. Keep them safe and stay alert for any signs of trouble. The rest of you will come back to Headquarters with me; take a quick rest and fix your gear if you need to. You did an outstanding job here gents, keep up the good work."

As the four guards chosen to keep watch peeled away from the rest of the group, Kroll started making his way back to Headquarters, signaling for his troops to follow. "Come along now, boys! This town isn't going to unfuck itself!"
