devins eyes widened and hepulled backwards, tearing down the stairwell. as he rounded a corner, pushing througha door that revealed the first floor a wave of wretches and drones came towards the building. "fuc*" he slammed the door shut and ran back up the stairs. "we've gotta jump out from a second floor window or something, those things are everywhere!"
An explosion launched Jacob out of the window, throwing him into the first floor window of a slightly bomb out building. His eyes slid open and he looked at two other Cogs that were hunkered down, one severly injured. Before he could say anything, the uninjured Cog pulled his hand across his own throat. Jacob knew to be quiet and slowly stepped over. From behind the door he could hear Wretches and Grubs outside.
=Freeman had jumped out of the window just before the explosion, landing on a pile of garbage bags that had been sitting there a good while.=
Ehh.. just my luck...
=He got to his feet and looked around not seeing any of the other Cogs. He cursed to himself as he realized he had jumped into an alley. He looked to the only way out and saw two locust walking out of the alley.=
Got to get past them....
=Freeman put away his lancer and grabbed a grenade. He then ran forward towards the two and as he ran between them he stuck the grenade onto one of the locusts back. Freeman stepped it up as he ran faster, He heard the locust yell out to fire at him, heard the bullets fly by him and also the grenade beeping, and then the resulting explosion. Freeman ran to another building and with his Gnasher shotgun he smashed out the window and jumped in. He put a hand to his transmiter=
Where the heck are you guys?!!
Where the heck are you guys?!! Blared through Jacob's comm alerting the locust outside. Before the cog could move, gunfire tore the door and him apart. He landed with a hard thud as Jacob raised his lancer sprayed two locust grubs with his bullets. They both fell, and Jacob ran to the door, raising his lancer to fire covering fire for six cogs across the street.
=Almost as soon as he spoke into his comm he heard gunfire. Not only on the comm but also nearby. He ran to the other side of the building he was in and looked out the window. He saw two locust fall and then spotted Jacob briefly. He put a hand to his transmitter=
Sir! Freeman here. Coming in on your left. Watch the fire!
=He waited until Jacob acknowledged if he did at all before running out the building he was in and rushing into the door Jacob was firing from. If he didnt acknowledge he would just sit there and provide fire support with his lancer.=
=Freeman ran into the building and got into cover just as Jacob had said . His eyes widened slightly at the mention of a Brumak.=
Seriously? With just the gear we have how are we going to take that thing down? If one of your team has a Mortar that I dont know about perhaps now is a good time to get him into position. Hell a Grinders gun would work too.
=After a moments pause Freeman added..= .... Sir.
=Freeman was a bit surprised by that. His old CO always made them call him Sir. He liked this guy more and more. Freeman smirked a bit.=
Well if we are not doing the formal thing..... There is also the option of getting on the roof and highjacking one of them. Use it to kill off the other Brumak and then finish off the rest of the locust here. Then after that put a charge on the... as you say "Big and ugly= and blow its head apart.... Just a thought.
=He thought for a moment.= Then again if the Brumak rider saw us on the roof he wouldnt hesitate to bring the building down from under us....
=Freeman grinned. He always wanted to ride one of those things. He never spoke about it of course but still. He got to his feet and looked towards the stairs. He then turned back to Jacob.=
Hey. Dont forget there are two riders. One of them controls the guns on that thing.... But if you can just take out the driver and get that thing stationary I can just pop the gunner.
=He spoke as he pulled out his Gnasher shotgun.=
devin pushed himself over and through a windowsill just as an explosion ripped a hole in the dumpster he had been hiding behind moments earliear. "guys, could use some help here!" just as he finished the sentence a reaver crashed to the ground outside, shooting rockets and machine gun fire into the surrounding gear and grub filled shops. devin pulled himself up and fired his locust rifle into the beast, watching as the bullets barely penetrated the thick hide.
((just a mention, gears aren't even supposed to know that it's possible for them to control a brumak, and it wouldn't just stop moving if the driver was killed, it would start rampaging until the other driver got control of it. just a thought.))
Jacob jumped up, running across the street at a Grub hiding behind a fallen pillar. It rose up pointing it's Hammer burst at Jacob, but screamed in agony as Jacob revved his Lancer and sawed through the Grub's arm. Taking a strong punch to the jaw, Jacob shot back a little, and the grub wrapped it's remaining hand around his throat. In a heavy struggle, Jacob pulled his pistol out and put it under it's chin. "See you in hell!" Pulling the trigger, the grub fell back in a gruesome spray of blood, letting Jacob up. Springing into the building, Jacob was met by the gaze of a Boomer, still holding a loaded Boomshot. Jacob revved his Lancer again and slung it across the Boomer's hand, cutting off the fingers. With a shriek, it slammed it's other hand into Jacob, launching him across the room and into a wall. Staggering to his feet, a Flame Boomer charged into the room, accidently spraying the Boomer. In pain, it yelled and Jacob took his chance and removed his pistol, and fired on the tank of the Flamer. As it detonated, it killed the Boomer and the Flame Boomer. Picking up the Boomshot, Jacob raced outside, firing it in the direction of the Reaver.
=Freeman emptied his clip into the reaver and cursed softly at the persistence of the ugly thing. He got into cover, reloaded, and aimed again. However before he could shoot Explosions from a boomshot rained on the Reaver causing it to finally fall. He looked to where the shots came from to see Jacob. He put his hand to his transmitter.=
Bout time you got serious.
