[2009/04/15 19:25] Pook Olivieri looked up to Ace, he was eagerly waiting for the signal to begin the exchange. As soon as the nod of confirmation was given, Pook arose from his crouched position and re-directed his eyes to Lexii, giving her a tilt of his head to signify it was time, Tightly he held his MP5 in a comfortable position, with his knees bent he would start to slowly stalk his way from the alley around into the construction site, the weapon was fully prepared in case anything was to go down wrong. He hoped nothing would and the use of his gun wouldn't be necessary but if it was, Pook wouldn't hesitate to protect the woman he loved. His eyes would then set to pan around from each of the Reavers standing there in a gathering, his weapon still trained at no one specific, just the center of the group with his finger on the trigger ready to go.

[19:31] Lucas Bender 's brows furrow as he makes it to the construction site his eyes scan the surroundings. "Fuck this broad better not be late" throwing his arm back the man checks his fully loaded glock. It had served him well before he felt secure knowing it was there. Looking at his men he smiles a calm smile. This would be over and then tomorow they could go about there bussiness about bringing the second coming to Hathian and there enemies.

[19:37] Paulie Broek ‘s eyes will go to the area in front of him. Paulie is not armed, his pistol was confiscated by the police even though he had a permit for it. But Paulie isn’t thinking about using anything. Paulie is here for one thing. His daughter that was ripped from him by Lars. This isn’t the preferred way he would have liked it but he wants this nightmare to end and he knows with his whole family behind him like they are he will persevere and climb out of this a better man. Tapping his foot, the man will wait for any signs of anyone.

[19:37] Nisaa Milena moved from the basketball court into the empty, run down building closer to the construction sight. Parnell has told her to stay away, but she couldn't help herself. she wanted to get close, but not too close, knowing there was heavy artillerie in the mix of things and nothing she could handle. her heart pound in her chest as her nerves rose, making her feel sick to her stomach as she stood there. crouching down low to the floor, she leaned her back against the concrete wall and sat, listening to every sound that came and went, wanting to know what was going on.

[19:43] Lexii Walcott rises to her feet, holding the small baby tightly to her chest. She will move quickly to the enclosed area giving a glance over her shoulder. Once inside the enclosed area she follows closely behind Pook, struggling not to trip over all the garbage. She will stand on his right while waiting for his signal to set the child down, her eyes straining to catch sight of Paulie in the large group just in front of them. The little girl starts to fuss and squirm and instead of calming her this time, Lexii just let her cry in hopes that the sound would be heard by Paulie.

[19:48] Pook Olivieri stalked Lexii with every step she took, keeping infront of her the entire way, his eyes were narrowed and locked behind the darkly tinted aviators that were on his face. Even with the thick locks of black hair falling halfway over one lense of the shades, Pook's vision wasn't shorted. His eyes were like crosshairs in the moment as he kept his weapon comfortably trained in his hands. The lift of it's aim was pectoral level and it was securely being kept there as he kept his aim at the center of their group. His finger still wrapping around the trigger in a relaxed manner, That was a large group of enemies before him and Pook wouldn't give them a single chance to get any closer. "We'll set the kid down, then you pick it up after we step back." Pook said firmly to the group of reavers as he came into view now.

[19:51] Ashe Hudson sighs, glancing aroun at the crew around him. In all his years in the Reavers, he had never seen such a show of force. His eyes fall on Lucas, waiting for his word to move or not, Ashe pokes Tank in the back, leaning in, he would murmur, "You need a haircut." He rests his hand on the handle of his bat and cracks his neck, sighing deeply.

[19:51] Cyrus Botha stood silently next to Ashe and looked over the construction yard. He could hear the faint cry of the baby getting closer and then seeing the man with the MP5 come from around the scaffolding. His body tensed up as he eyed the gun, he didn't come here to be shot and his mind went over the memory of this morning with Rip.

[19:55] Levi Vaher simply follwed the words of his Primo. Lucas, his body swaying as he stood next to him, Fingers twitching as he was getting edgy. The Jacket he was wearing was hiding his glock, fresh and cleaned. As the man in the jacket with the machine gun came out, now he understood why lucas had asked for his help tonight. Being a outside of gangs had made levis life easy. But when he made that promise to noelle all those years ago, He had to stand by his word. Crossing his arms, Levi waiting for lucas's word.

[19:57] Lucas Bender cant see Pook or Lexii very well so he will jump up on the pallet of bricks getting a much better view. Calling out to the man his voice granite, "Iight lets just do this" Directing his men, "Paulie you and Tank get the kid and take her to the house we got your back" His eyes fix to where the sounds of Pook came he now spies Lexii and frowns.

[19:59] Paulie Broek ‘s eyes go to the gun if there were any thoughts of retribution lingering in the dark parts of his mind, they were gone now. Thinking that this would be something very unorganized, he is surprised at the intricacy of how this is set up. Nothing seems like it could go wrong as long as Paulie follows what he was told to do. Paulie cannot stop thinking about holding that infant in his hands. A little small, but very pretty. She gets that from her mother. Paulie is at a loss for words as he catches of sight of the darling. Hoping that the baby will like her father even thou he wasn’t there for the first week of her life. Paulie hopes that this late start of fatherhood will make him look at it differently. Paulie will watch Lexii hoping that she will put the baby down right away so he can embrace her.

[19:59] Lexii Walcott stayed back just enough to be somewhat out of view of the Reavers. The loud cries from the baby surely can be heard by all of them now. She carefully moves around the open door of the portable john, kisses the crying baby's forehead and gently sets her on the ground. She will then step back around the door and wait for Pook's signal for her to move while keeping a watchful eye on Lucas now that he is in sight.

[20:02] Tanken Darkstone moves his intense brown eyes between the major players in this deal. Especially Pook as he emerges with an MP5 in his hands and resists the urge to reach under his shirt for the .356 colt hidden there. He clenches his jaw and hides the fear he feels coming up as bile in his throat. What he fucking serious? With that, his gang might as well have shown up with just their dick's in their hand. He'd ignore Ashe as well, it wasn't the time to joke around, shit was real and about to explode, he could feel it in his bones. He would wait for the word, everything that happened here was up to Lucas, whether or not he fired a shot would be up to him. He looks to Lucas then, nodding slowly. He takes a cautios step forward, letting the tire iron on his hand fall to the floor with a loud clank. He wouldn't risk walking towards a man with the mp5 armed. They needed that baby. Alive. "Say the word."

[20:07] Pook Olivieri's eyes watched every movement they took, Lucas moving closer caused Pook's finger to twitch, he did -NOT- pull the trigger but he did damn well ensure that it would only take one tiny flick back to send that automatic weapon spraying out, which if any of them started to move again until Pook and Lexii were out of the site, Pook wouldn't hesitate to do. "Don't move until we're gone." Pook said to Lucas as he started to stalk his way backwards, stepping away from them to keep his range with the weapon still being trained. He would shift it's aim as he got into the center of the site, out of the way of harm from any of the others to quick enough do anything if they chose to move, and his gun was now pointed to Lucas on the bricks. Keeping that aim the entire way as he guided himself and Lexii out of the back gate of the site to vanish out of their views.

[20:10] Ashe Hudson watches as the man emerges with the mp5, and his body tenses, stepping forward, his hand clenched into fists, he growls deeply under his breath. He was armed with... a bat. What could he do? His eyes go immediately to Lucas as the firearm is pointed at him, and Ashe would step forward again, his first instinct to protect his nephew, the man who was like a brother to him, and who was, in every way, his best friend. He begins to call out, but his voice catches in his throat as he moves forward, his eyes growing wide and eveything would move in slow motion.

[20:11] Lucas Bender stays on his perch now able to see the child and the retreating bodies. Motioning to the two "Get her and go" was all he would say. If the child was healthy they would be able to go about there business tonight. He really had wanted to see the new peeler he heard so much about.

[20:11] Paulie Broek who heeds the mans warning watches him intently waiting for the exact moment he gets out of sight. At that moment, he will signal to Tanken telling him to follow him up there. Paulie doesn’t say a word as it is not needed and knowing his own mouth, he will not screw this deal up. With his silence, he will swoop up to where he had heard his baby. Paulie will stand over the baby looking down at it for a second. His first child, he will not screw this up. This is his. Finally, it took a week before they were reunited and now they were with each other. Paulie will gently slip his hands under the baby one at the head to support it and the other on the body. The baby is still crying, he will bounce it a bit to calm it down. “Shush… baby daddy is here now.” Paulie if unimpeded with back all the way to the entrance of the construction site and if not stopped when he gets there, he will make his way to the house.

[20:12] Lars Calhern would look at the baby would have left the scene, his eyes had been taking in the entire scene though he could not hear what was being said, at this point it didnt matter, it was to late for words. Lars knew this was it, with his thumb he would prime the weapond as he would slowly rise to his feet, and spread them apart to help wait formt the blast. Looking down the Iron sites Lars would Put Lucas in the corss hairs. Lars would apply presseure to the trigger sending the rocket hurdleing towards the man. The unexpected pressure from the weapons recoil would send lars backwards and towards the ground, knowing the weapon out of his hand. Unsure if he it anything. Lars try to srcamble to his feet and pick up his MP5 getting ready to finish what he started.

[20:13] Parnell Urqhart sat listening to the baby cry, his mind wandering onto other things, perhaps the foul deeds he was about to commit, would the baby be killed? He didn't really care heard the woosh followed immidiately by the roar of an explosion following the impact of the rocket, the impact threw him back onto his ass tho he recovered quickly. Vaulting over the boxes in front of him he made his way briskly to the hole in the wall, he stepped out into the opening of the hole, the AK gripped tightly in his hands. Smoke dust and what he hope was carnage behind it blasted over his face as he rushed in sliding up behind the stack of cinderblocks, he had scoped the location out earlier, and he knew exactly where he had to be. As soon as he slid up he was leaning the AK over the top of the stack firing into the smoke. The AK erupted in his hands spitting fire like a flamethrower, tracers tore through the smoke and dust not really aimed at anything as he couldn't really see anything, but it felt good to let off some lead. Humming to himself he flipped the clip around to load the other he had taped to it. It was on now, his mind was taken over by adrenaline and rage, he arched his head back a loud noise escaping his throat that came somewhere from the rage buried deep inside his chest. It was pure and uncut hatred, drawn up over years of betrayal, the gang life had done the man in, he was getting ready for the last leg of his journey in the Rejects, but noone knew that yet.

[20:14] Lucas Bender only sees the rocket heading towards him for a second. First his body will react in terror, stomach clenching, heart racing and eyes growing wide. But this sensation would only last for a minute as the missile will hit his torso directly. As his chest cavity is ripped open the plasma ignites literally setting the man alight. Of course a Missile designed to pierce the armor of a tank wouldn't stop with that and his internal organs will meet apendigees as they fly in various directions. While his heart explodes with the rest of his organs one might wonder if there was pain. Of course his last seconds on earth were an agonizing sequence of personal tortures. Seconds only but in those seconds as peices of the mans body flew everywhere he had suffered more than he had in the short 24 years he lived.

[20:20] Page Eames: "I need you..." the text simply read. Sender? Parnell. Yeah. There was tension between the two and they were both way to fucking stubborn to apologize, but when he asked for her help that was enough to make her come running back to his side. Page was lost without him, or The Rejects. They were all she new since childhood. As she heard the explosion her arms shot upward over her face to cover her eyes. She stumbled back and took a deep breath. It had been so long since she'd been to battle, and that thurst for blood was stronger than ever this night. She wasn't quite sure who was involved, but she knew they were Reavers. She launched herself onto her feet and ran after Parnell, ramming into a box only to trip slightly and lose diretion, but catch herself quick. With a quick jerk of her hand, she pulled her M9 smikring when she felt its weight in her hand, and went into face whatever was hidden behind the fence, finger twitching to shoot off one round after another at the people who had yet to come into focus

[20:22] Cyrus Botha watches closely as Tank and Paulie move to grab the baby. He jumps as the sound of the RPG whizzes through the air and hits the ground near him. He is thrown backwards from the force of the blast as shrapnel is flung into his body. His head slams into the ground and a pool of blood quickly forms around his head. The blackness of unconciousness overcomes him fast, having no idea of what just happened, or any knowing of what was about to happen.

[20:23] Ashe Hudson continues his forward motion, glancing up at the rocket that was hurling towards them, he feels his bod lurch forward as he screams, "LUCAS, NOOOOOOOOO!" as his body is blown backwards, knocked unconcsious, his body falls like a rock to the ground, he feels nothing, hears nothing but the sound of white noise.

[20:23] Paulie Broek wonders for a brief moment if he is in Iraq or southern Louisiana. The baby which was calm now erupts in intolerable crying the kind that can’t be stopped with just a bottle. In short, the baby is terrified for its life and quite frankly Paulie thinks this is the end for all of them. Then his eyes will go to the body of Lucas as he ducks and makes his approach out. Getting to the door, he will look over his shoulder for a brief moment to see his boss DEAD! Paulie told the man he would follow his orders to the grave and now he must honor the man’s last request; get the fuck out of here. Paulie’s looking back causes him to be hit by one of the rounds of the AK, it grazes his leg casing much blood. Paulie cannot stop. Limping, he makes his way out of the scene to safety.

[20:23] Pook Olivieri quickly moved to push Lexii down as Lars sent the missile flying. Pook's ear rang out at the blast that submerged now from the firing, and with the ringing filling his head, Pook watched Parnell take a leaping stride into the site. The look of Rage and sweet revenge plastered that mans face, and for once in his life. The man Pook had vowed now to fear because of his name...he did. He felt the fear enstill over his body as the twisted features of the old gang leader went into the scene on foot. A true sense of respect was pumped into Pook at that moment, and after he made sure Lexii was okay, he would look to her and nod slowly. His head gracefully playing the motion as he mouthed the words he thought he could never say again to any woman. "I love you." The instant he finished his statement, wether she heard it or not, Pook spun back around on his feet and went in chasing behind Parnell, moving vastly to the mans left, Pook haulted into a crouch behind the thick cemented curb - it wasn't much cover but it

[20:23] Pook Olivieri: was cover. Swinging the once trained and already prepared MP5 up and over onto the edges for support he now began to gut the trigger. His finger relentlessly forcing down onto the weapon as he cracked off the automatic rounds, sending them ringing out with out mercy right up the splitting walkway of the site that would have directed each one for the Reavers only exit. Even as the barrel of his weapon began to heat, and smoke began to essence infront of his face, he still pulled, he still fired with out hesitation.

[20:23] Levi Vaher watched as paulie started to leave with the kid, just a second to take his eyes off the man he swore to protect. Before he heard the noise, Unlike levi ever heard of before. But levi wouldnt even know what would happen as his body flew back agaisnt the fence. Lucas's blood covering most of his body, maybe even peices of him. The impact of the wall, and the explostion from the rocket did wonders for levis body, skin burning placing levi into shock, his life now in extreme danger. But he wouldnt care if he was awake, his mind wouldnt of been able to handle the explostion, handle the fact his oldest friend was now dead. Levi Dreamed about death. Dreamed about the old days. He was Happy.

[20:30] Tanken Darkstone starts to move towards Paulie, a smile finding his face as he moves back towards them with his child. They'd actually done it... and it seemed to be alright. He'd already managed to get their women out of the city and he'd done everything his Uncle asked him to do before this moment to the letter. He was finally becoming the Lieutenant Lucas wanted him to, and it made him smile proudly. He looks up to his Uncle proudly, wanting him to see the job he'd done and that they'd all managed to keep their cool and get Paulies' child back. He feels his eyes go wide as a rocket hits Lucas dead on, the bright light from the explosion engulfing his only uncle, the man who'd been like his father... the man who knew something was wrong before this even happened. The man who'd given him the first real hug for the first time in his life only an hour ago. He manages to reach out for him, hoping that would be able to grab him some how before the blast hits him as well... the distance away from the man he loved like a father, and gets knock back, the heat from the blast burning the skin on his hands and face as he slams into the concrete blocks behind him, knocking him out cold, His body contorted and twisted in a heap of dust and cinder.

[20:30] Lexii Walcott moves quickly with Pook out of the area. Once they were out of sight of the Reavers, she exhales a long held breath, only to take a deep breath once again as Ace fired the launcher and Pook pushed her to the ground. She caught his words, but had no time to say anything to him as he moved away so quickly. She got to her feet, keeping herself in a crouched position refusing to move without him. Her eyes dart from the rooftop to the direction that Parnell and Pook were, her stomach in knots.

[20:32] Lars Calhern would hesitate, things were happening second after second at this point. Lars would move to the edge of the building as he would draw the weapon upwards to his shoulder and look down the sites.. Lars didnt care at this point he was looking at, he would dress the trigger and ignite the automatic weapon, releasing a burst of about 10 (a third of the clip) towards a clump of bodies, the recoil of the weapon would not imporve the accuracy at all, he would let fate decide who he hit and were. The shaking of the gun against his shoulders was something that he was not quite used to.. but it was sure a hell of alot easier to handel than an RPG.. nothing but hatred and instainct drove lars now

[20:32] Parnell Urqhart saw the smoke start to clear, the carnage quite apparent to him for the first time, a hint of regret, he didn't neccisarily know that Lucas was dead but that had been the point of his coming out there that evening. A pang of guilt crossed his mind for a single moment at the knowledge that the boy he had helped raise was in pieces all over the lot, a few specks of blood had even landed on him, unnoticed untill now, he released his grip on the AK letting it clatter to the ground as he moved out the opposite way of the construction site, this was not his battle any longer. ((I gotta go guys, thanks for the scene tho, ill deal with the cops or whatever later.))

[20:39] Page Eames climbed over the concrete ledge, waving back as Parnell left the scene and slowly moved forward as the smoke sifted through the air. She drew her form closer, hearing the shots coming from Lars and stood close enough behind a metal beam with her gun still aimed to look over the mess that was created. It was then she saw Lucas' head -bloodied, covered in soot, eyes wide open and staring at nothing. A huge knot turned in her stomach, her heart sinking within her chest. "Fuck!" she screamed, hundreds of images of the young boy flashing through her mind. He was like a son to her, and still had yet to fully understand his reason for leaving the gang. She jerked her body around so her back rested against the concrete pillar- blocking out the booms and splats of flying bullets, and simply cried. She cried for Lucas, she cried for what had become of her family, she cried for leaving. Tears streamed down her bruised face until she finally snapped back into reality and turned back toward the sight. This was no time for tears, bitch. Retribution. "Fucking reavers," she hissed, firing the last of her rounds and hiding back behind the wall.

[20:42] Cyrus Botha layed unconciouss still on the cold concrete, unable to feel any of the pain and that was a very good thing. His chest was ridden with shrapnel and his flesh was seared from the blast. He was completely unaware of the assault rifles being fired upon him or if any of the bullets even hit him.

[20:47] Ashe Hudson's body jumps with each bullet that hits his body, the assault rifle's blasts piercing his flesh over and over as the crimson life leaks slowly from his body. Images of Lucas and Noelle from years ago, flood his memory as he walks towards them, his hand outstretched as he murmurs, "Itll be ok, Noey... Ill watch him for you.." and the world goes black, his last thought, his last memory of his sister, his brother Blash, and his nephew, Lucas, vaporize from his mind, the noise stopped as a round pierces his brain, the plastic casings of his braces, the ones that kep him upright, melted to his flesh. Not even the sound of sirens in the distance would stir him, Ashe was gone.

[20:47] Pook Olivieri was un-noticeably snarling as he held clutch onto the trigger, emptying that first one out which seemed to have hit a sheer nothingness. 'Fuck, too soon.' Pook thought to himself as he popped the first one out and swung a hand down to his jacket to withdraw another one. Stabbing it into the gun, Pook cocked it ready once more as he watched Parnell retreat out. He seen the man was content but Pook had a personal vendetta, though he didn't see Fire in that group Reavers as he approached, he would take his chance to go an observe if the man was there. His hatred for that one reaver in specific was fueling him to act on it as he lurched his frame over the bricks, dashing up into the front of the site just where the barracades of the painting horses kept his body blocked, Pook swung his gun to rest on one of the metal bars. His aim being directed at no one just yet as his eyes panned over each of their fallen bodies. Scanning over each of them frantically in hopes to find Fire, the man he vowed to Lexii that

[20:47] Pook Olivieri: he would slay down when the time came and the time was now. All of his hatred and rage was directed now at the innocent Levi's upper back, he was the last frame Pook's eyes set onto and even though that man had never done anywrong by Pook, all he seen was the image of Fire laying there on the floor, covered in mangled body parts and guts. And Pook's finger now mercilessly began to rip the trigger back as he began to spray bullets ripping towards the man. The recoil hit him more directly in this moment it would throw off the course of his aim, leaving only fate to decide where the shots would land if they even did...

[20:54] Levi Vaher was laying there, not even aware of his own fate. Slowly he awoke, his face burnt together by the flames the explostion caused. Trying to open his eyes The pain became unbearable his mouth shot open. "ARRAAGGHH!" Every inch of his body filled with pain. Whoever the man was in the jacket, he was about to do levi a favor. As levi went to grab the gun in his jacket with his own burnt hand a shot hit his upper torso, making levi spit out blood. One more hitting his neck, the blood gushing out. More rocking his torso, dropping his glock as he fell back slowly, the last shot hitting him in the head. Levi Didnt Feel anymore pain. It Was over, the man who caused several nightmares, finally had his end. Fate ended up being a cruel mistress.

[20:55] Tanken Darkstone lies crumpled against the cement bricks he'd been slammed into with the explosion. He was burned, badly, and he probably had a concussion and a few broken limbs to boot. He couldn't hear the barrage of bullets being fired at his group. He didn't feel the two bullets hit him in the arm and in the side, the bricks taking most of the bullets coming close to where he was. He was fighting, it was all internal now, he had to survive.

[21:01] Page Eames lowered her gun, arm falling weakly at her side. good eye traced through the carnage, trying to see if she'd regongnize anyone else. She sighed whe she saw Levi laying in a pool of blood and ash. She lowered her head, doing the one thing she never actually imagined herself doing-- she whispered a small prayer- not for those who had fallen but for the men she once knew as friends- family, or more. Those men had died years ago- what laid before her now were just memories and shells of enemies. Her legs stretched as she strided forward, the pain she felt immobilized almost immediatly after her moment of silence, and stepped between the bodies. "Stupid, kid.." she said to Lucas' corpse.

[21:01] Page Eames: "You had it FUCKING MADE! Stupid--fucking-kid." She reared back her leg and drive it forward, the tip of her boot smacking against Lucas' decapitated head so hard it flew into the plastic wall like a soccer ball. "Fuck!" She screamed once more.

[21:01] Pook Olivieri's head snapped around at the call of Ace's voice booming to him. He snapped his head back to Page who was blindly firing beside him and barked, "Cops!" alerting her as well before ripping his gun from the metal support brace he used. Spinning on his toes, Pook broke for the back of the site and cut right into the alley, shooting out to meet with Lars and follow him in the same direction with his weapon still in hand. He was on the sprint of his life as he attempted to run, perhaps even being pursued in his strides.

[21:02] Nisaa Milena finally heard the sound of fire cease, looking back and fourth between the doors, seeing the cops on one side and the open door on the other. shooting out the door opposite the cops, she ran through the open one, heading for the construction site to see what had happen. Right now she cared more to see Lucas face down in a pool of blood then about the cops standing near by.

[21:07] Page Eames zipped around quickly hearing Pook yell. "Shit on a stick.." she mumbled, then looked to Nisaa. "You- RUN! Let's go." She didn't really know Nisaa, and she typically didn't like people she didn't know, but she didn't want to see the girl carted off my the asshole cops either. She waves to her and begins rushing through the blood and wreckage to head out from the scene, her hands pushing against the confines of the plastic wall to make it into the alley

[21:08] Lexii Walcott makes her way to the fence she came in at, only to see half the Hathian force just on the other side. She groans and spins on her heels, ready to go in the opposite direction, hoping if there are any cops she will be able to get by them. Not knowing where Pook or Ace are is already starting to eat at her, all she can do is pray that they are long gone and safe.
