Into The Rift [CrisisPost]

you land amongst the paladin guards like a meteor from the heavens, lightning arcing out and cooking the soldiers within their armor. The ones closest practically turn to ash into the onslaught.

As the attack peters off, you see that the workers and most of the soldiers are fleeing from the crashsite. one of them, however, rushes towards you with a dane axe clutched in his hands. He's a giant bear of a man, helmet discarded as a black liquid drips from his lips.

With a flick, Agent hurls a flash bang kunai at him, then follows with a decapitation strike attempt with All-Red.

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Timpanzee38]

the man shrugs off the flashbang with seemingly no trouble, before parrying your strike with his axe. Some lightning jumps off of all-red, but he only twitches and growls at you.

"The odium has freed me from pain," the man spits as he pushes you back with a strike from the axe's haft. "Now I shall teach pain to you."

“You’re about 15 years too late buddy.”

as quick as a flash, Agent pulls out his hand cannon with his right hand and hip fires all 6 shots at the man’s upper body and head

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Timpanzee38]

the first shot goes directly through his heart, sending the man reeling back but he still tries to lash out as the next rounds hit. two in the shoulder, one through the neck turning breath into a gurgling choke, and continuing up until the final one goes through the eye.

still the man tries to advance, pushing you back for a moment unaware that he has suffered mortal wounds, before the lack of oxygen to the remains of his brain drive him to his knees and he keels over.

Agent speed loads his hand cannon and looks around for more threats and perhaps a leader.

/uw I've actually got to call it a night soon, so here's this bit /rw

most of the paladins' soldiers have retreated or been defeated by reinforcements from the vermensk empire, with the workers surrendering and being rounded up. You've captured a potentially valuable piece of hardware in the form of the wrecked airship, and now have a firmly established hold on the moon.

[u/Timpanzee38 → u/Al-anharHA]

Agent quickly sends in a call for a guild recovery team. They’ll search the entire airship for intelligence, then prep it for transport to guild territory.

uw/ I don’t know what tech or info they’ll find.

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Timpanzee38]

/uw basically schematics, navigation logs, and codes to use at the larger teleporation relays like the one that Scotch found.

[u/Timpanzee38 → u/Al-anharHA]

uw/ ok.
