The Trotting Dead RP

@@Grand_Finale,@@Josh Riordan,

Stephan began getting surrounded by trotters while the others made it to the boats. A red aura began to form around his body. "Sonic blast!" Stephan had activated the sonic blast, a sensation of power he hasn't felt in years. He began running through the trotters like they were tissue. "I got this! Go!" 

[Azura 1,107]

Damn, the engine's busted? So much for going back to Canterlot. Azura got off and followed the ponies, which appeared to have found a boat. She followed them and completely ignoring the nearby trotters since they were out of reach from her. "Please don't tell me all the Trotters are this dumb.." One of the trotters were heading towards her so she took our her dagger and sliced his neck for him to bleed out.

[Guest]

Josh sliced through them with the scythes grand reaches the boat he stood outside killing anything that came near "the sooner you get it started the sooner we can get out of here" he shouted as a trotter crept in low on the ground that josh was failing to notice

[Milk Wave 454]

"I guess this is my queue to attack." Zeta responded, taking his leap off the train which made the car shake a little from how heavy he was. In a moment a trotter had come to him, but quickly he uppercutted its jaw which snapped the skull. Hoof to Hoof combat was his best technique, but on occasion he would pull his Glaive out to stab trotters far away or multiple ones.

@@Josh Riordan

The trotter sneaking up behind him failed to attack just as Zeta had thrown the Glaive through its body, leaving it on the ground to thrash around before it bled out.

"Watch your back, Josh. A trotter was almost upon you." He spoke turning around, then quickly rammed a trotter into the train which caused it to shake a bit.

(It's not as easy as that guys, here come the bandits.)

Groups of ponies started jumping the rooftops, surrounding the group, all of them had some kind of ranged weapon fixed on them.
"These the bandits?" Starburst asked.
"Must be." Fire Horn replied.

(If you still plan on leaving, there's an exit planned for you, Josh.)

[Guest]

(was gonna kill my seld of but a planned one sounds cool)

"thank you zeta" josh frowned as bandits came and he drew throwing knives to fire at them "grand you may need to hurry with the boat or else things will get ugly" he threw a knive at a badit hitting him in the chest

[Milk Wave 454]

@@Josh Riordan

The bandits soon surrounded them, and upon Zeta noticing he quickly ran inside the train to assemble his rifle secretly. Once finished he came back outside with the gun pointing to one of the bandits while watching Josh.

"Josh, don't do- no, no don't! Shit. Now you've done it.."

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"That was a bad move, Josh." Fire Horn said.
The other bandits immediately dre their bows and guns, then rained down death upon the group, the attack was mostly ineffective but injuries were inflicted.

(I hope you don't mind me killing off, Josh right here.)

A couple of arrows hit Fire Horn, a bullet ripped through one of Missy's wings and Starburst had stopped breathing.
"Everypony!" Fire Horn screamed. "Fall back to the boat.

[Milk Wave 454]

"Urrh... Just let me handle them! You there, you're mine...~"

Bullets and arrows flew off of him from his heavy armor, not causing any damage to his body whatsoever. And in a bit, he fired up at them.

The shots both counted and missed on occasion, but he stood his stance and kept on firing up at the bandits to draw their attention. It worked at first, until they started to aim back at the rest who were escaping.

"Damn, they figured it out.. EVERYONE, SCATTER!"

@,@,

(OOC: They're raining arrows? I'm guessing that means they're up high. Plus, I hope you don't mind me controlling these bandits for a second)

Stephan ran up to the bandits position quickly and quietly. He kicked one of the bandits off, sending them falling to their doom. The other bandits turned around and Stephan smirked. "You guys should really work on your aim next time." Before the bandits could bombard him with more arrows, Stephan ran in a blur and ran down to the docks. "Start the boats. I'll run alongside them and watch your backs."

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Fire Horn quickly picked Starburst up off the ground, he had a few injuries, but they were bleeding badly, must have been why he stopped breathing.
"Grand! Get this thing moving now!" Fire Horn screamed again, this time through held back tears, performing CPR on Starburst.

A little bit into the fighting, Zeta quickly pulled out his hunting revolver and shot out the 5 shots that were in it before turning around. He checked for everyone to be in a safe cover before running along with them, knowing that everypony would surely have only some injuries.

 

(( OOC- @ Where is your guys at the moment? ))

[dashian500 194]

Steel landed and While steel was killing some troters a bandit was able to get behind him steel noticed to late, the bandit stabbed him in the left shoulder, steel let out a harsh scream and drove his dagger thru the skull of the bandit, he picked up the dagger he had droped when he was stabbed and put it in its sheath he would have to fight on handed till he could get his shoulder fixed up

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand fiddled with the Yacht, and finally the engine gurgled to life. "Lets go!" she screamed, turning the engine on and revving it to get it warmed up. An arrow caught her good leg and she fell, but managed to get the boat going, slowly at first, but was leaving dock quickly. "Get on NOW" she screamed, looking at the arrow in her leg

@,@,@@dashian500,@,

Stephan jumped off the dock and ran on the water next to the boats. He looked back at the bandits, who kept firing and missing. "I wasn't kidding! Take an archery class or something!" Stephan yelled to them over the roar of the boats. He snickered and focused on what was ahead.

[Snowy Storm 57]

Icy was busy avoiding trouble. She failed to see most of the ponies had already moved on without her.

"Great. I'll be lucky If I don't get myself killed" She said to herself. She saw the boat leaving. She quickened her pace but with trotters and bandit in her way. She looked for a way around them. Seeing none Icy sighed. She pulled out a bottle, it was filled with water. she spilled the water on the ground and froze it. She formed to Ringblades from the pool of ice. She spun it around her once and checked to see if it was good.

"Here I go!" She shouted. The Ringblads began to spin around her as she charged at the hoard. Any pony, Dead or Alive, that stood in her way was easily cut into twos and fourths. She neared the boat and jumped for it. She failed to land on it, but managed to cling to the side of the boat by her two front hooves.

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

(I had to sleep, i was tired. =D)

Fire Horn was beginning to lose hope, but suddenly, Starburst began to breathe and the boat pulled away from the docks. He looked around, counting everypony, the only one's missing were Ghost and...

"Oh no, where's Josh?" Fir Horn looked back to see that one of them had died in the attack.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@, 

(I said I was running by the boat by running along the water. Did you not understand?)

Stephan ran alongside the boats and looked back at the city. He couldn't believe he let Josh die like that. He tried to hold back his sadness and kept pushing forward. "He didn't make it. Just keep going. We need to end this." Stephan said in a dark tone.

[Milk Wave 454]

Zeta who was still making sure everypony got on, noticed Josh wasn't there at all. But where could he be?

It was a matter to him, but he had to hop on the boat from the trotters gathering around. When on he looked through his scope to see if he could find him.

"Damn.. Nothing right now. Guys have you seen Josh!?"

 

(( last post for a while today, sorry ))

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Exactly, the only one not on the boat.

Fire Horn leapt up and helped Icy get into the boat.
"Ghost, get in, hurry, we've got to get out of here." Fire Horn shouted.
Meanwhile, the bandits were preparing another assault. They had obtained some explosive weaponry.

As the gang of survivors were being tumbled within their boat; surrounded by bandits and trotters. Ink Drop watched from afar, on top of a building that was present in the vicinity.

 

At first Ink Drop whispered to himself, "Don't risk it..." ^[1] he repeated a few time more and each time, the volume of his voice lowered down, but as he couldn't ignore anypony needing help -- even thought that he isn't asked for help -- he just couldn't say no and then walks away. 

 

"Oh screw this!" he yelled in annoyance of his decisions making then pulled out his custom-made compact bolt gun^[2] from his satchel. As he counted briefly inside his mind, he aimed the tip upwards for approximately fifty three point three degrees, what was required next was that will to pull the trigger and hoped that his calculations were precise and that he won't hit one of the survivors. 

 

Click, the sound of the trigger being pressed was made and one designated metallic bolt launched up in the air in a hundred meters per second, and hit one of the bandits; piercing through that scalp, penetrated the cranium and went directly to the cerebellum, hence ending the life of the bandit.

@, 

Stephan shrugs and gets inside the boat. "Well, you're no fun." Stephan said under his breath. He looked behind him at the city and saw the bandits carrying explosive cargo. "These guys are persistent, I'll give them that," He kept an eye on the bandits. If they were honestly going to go out into the water with the cargo, he'd make sure they wouldn't get far.

[DustJacket 213]

"One, c'mon turn around... I'm here, leave them alone." Ink Drop whispered yet again to himself as he loaded another bolt to his primitive compac weaponry; looked through his makeshift prismatic crystal scope, took aim... then he released another shot. He had killed two -- he was no marksman though, keep in mind of that, but when it comes to helping somepony in trouble, he gave all his might^[1].

 

And he successfully made the group of bandit raiders aware of his presences, but they did not know where he was. Two shots were used only three were left within his disposal. Rather than wasting his remaining pristine harpoons, he used this risky tactic to steer away either the bandits or the last remaining 'trotters'. Saying nothing more, he put his bolt gun's back to his satchel and bucked the nearest metal barrel -- which probably had been used for maintaining a fire place. His action made the barrel to produce a chaotic D note sound mixed with vibration which traveled through the air successfully gaining the attention of several 'trotters' and driven them to search for the source.

@@Ink Drop, 

Stephan was surprised to see bandits just falling over and dying like they were stabbed or shot in the head. It couldn't have been trotters. The bandits might've been bad fighters, but they knew their way around a trotter or two. He suspected that some other being was there, finishing off the rest of the bandits. "I wonder who that guy is. He seems very capable. I hope he knows what he's doing and where he's going..." Stephan thought to himself.
