Roarke trotted into the building. Most of the inside was already plundered by some ponies that had come before them. He trotted upstairs to find Night standing in a hallway. As Night pointed out the rooms, Roarke gave a nod of approval and went inside his newfound campside. First things first, he went through everything in the room to scavenge any usefull equipment. Looking inside a large cabinet, he found a lenght of rope. He savely stached it in his inventory and kept on searching. A few minutes later, every drawer lay open and not a single corner wasn't checked. He hadn't found anything usefull after the rope tough.

Finding a good place, he sat down and went through the files in his suit's onboard computer. Looking through the HUD, he found wat he was looking for and music flowed through his helmet. Just loud enough that he was the only one to hear.

Blaze didn't acknowledge Night Comb he instead continues to walk around and find miscellaneous parts for a weapon he was interested on building, he heard him though, "I'm taking position on the top floor with my sniper, I'll warn the two of you if I see any crawlers or raiders out there" he turned back to the ground and continued to sift through the rubble.

 

Blaze went to the top floor, the floor he thought would hold up better than the others, the other floors on top of the one he was on looked like they were about to collapse on him. He pulled out his sniper and set himself down on a dusty rug, he had a perfect view of the road.

Night Comb searched the room. Two dressers sat against the wall, with the bed inbetween. He opened them and put on a huge grin. A small folding knife sat inside the otherwise empty drawer. How could people have missed that when they looted it? He chuckled. The Pegasus cut the sheets into strips for bandages. Finishing that, he slipped it into his bags.

 

'Hey guys, see anything out of place?'

Roarke turned off his music and let his helmet collapse back into his RIG. A few clicks and hisses from the mechanics later, he could see freely again. Without the filtering system of his helmet, he could finally smell the building. It smelled rotten, dirty and old. Making for him to scrunch his nose a bit. Deciding he wasn't being much of a use just sitting there, he started top trot around the building, looking for anything he could use. That's when he heared Night call something. "Not really, no. Just the regular old junk and stuff... I did find a rope just now tough, so i guess that's usefull." He called back.

Night Comb hesitated about the knife. If he did they'd want the knife. Night Comb didn't fully trust either just yet, least of all Roarke. He seemed more friendly, but Blaze had spared him. That counted for something. He just called back a vague answer.

 

'That'll come in useful later. I found some stuff too. Nothing serious though.' He lied as he checked some more drawers.

[OG Blaze 269]

"Nothing too much out of place, but we probably have different definitions for out of place" Blaze looked down his sniper scope , he kept his last sight off because if he did see anyone he didn't want them to know where Blaze was positioned. Blaze was thirsty, he hadn't been able to scavenge much water, and the SFP, (Surrender For Prosperity ) foundation hasn't been out giving supplies to the people anymore, it was mostly made out of hobos and religious people. "Hey do we....." Blaze stopped talking, he though he heard something, Blaze looked down his scope again, a mare and her foal were running down the streets being chased by raiders, at least 20 of them, Blaze knew what happened to mares who were captured by raiders....but he didn't like to think about that, he started to get up to warn Night Comb, but then a thought came to mind, they wouldn't be able to take all those raiders...maybe he should just let it happen...it was a mare and a foal or Blaze, Night Comb, or Roarke...

@, @@Delernil,

Roarke continued his search through the dusty old building. After a while he stumbled across a particularry dusty area. He made his helmet come back up and sifted through the commands on his HUD. Multiple clicks and hisses erupted seconds later from small nozzles attatched on his boots, and the thrusters sparked to life, erupting small blue flames. The thrusters where made for zero -G travel only, so he didn't come off the ground, but it did blow all the dust away and eventually the room was cleared of most of the dust. He turned off the thrusters, but he kept on his helmet. As the dust was still in the air and breathing it wasn't probably the best of ideas. Using his helmet's light to see in the now misty room, he found some loose planks in the floor. A good kick of one of his hind legs proved to be more then enough to break the old planks, and underneath he found a small crawling space. Looking back once, he jumped down to search for more usefull items.

[Delernil 952]

Night Comb began carving the spare wood. He figured traps could be set with it. Thinking Blaze had a better idea of what to do, he traveled to the roof. He was a sniper after all, so he probably learned how to camouflage and trap areas. Popping his head out to where Blaze was, he opened his mouth to ask for trapping ideas. He noticed raiders coming down the street. 'Shit Blaze why didn't you tell us?!' He blurted as he dropped the wood and ran down to the first floor. There was a large group, somewhere around 25. He positioned himself by the door and charged his pistol.

[OG Blaze 269]

Blaze looked down his sniper scope again, he didn't want to watch this, he estimated what they would probably do. Blaze desperately wanted to help, but the raider numbers were too overwhelming, he could try and take as many as he could out, but they had shotguns and assault rifles, all we had was a sniper rifle and a pistol I didn't even know if it was loaded, he decided to consult his teammates, Night Comb, Roarke! Get up here quick!"

[Delernil 952]

Night Comb grimaced. Blaze's yelling had alerted the raiders to them. With the mention of two names, they probably had the idea of only three ponies. He checked the ammo counter.

 

12.

 

12 shots. He better make them count. He turned the door and froze in horror. A mother and her foal were being chased. He knew where it would lead if they didn't step in. The raiders had slip up, half attacking Night and the house, the others going to chase the family.

 

'Blaze, do your best. I'll flank them.' He said as he covered up his plan to help the mother. He still had morals, weak as they were.

@@Delernil,@,

Hearing the muffled sounds of some ruckus above him, Roarke decided to get back to his companions. He hadn't found anything of interest in the crawling space anyway. Climbing up out from the tight room seemed harder then getting in, but he eventually got back to the main area. Seeing nopony around, he decided to call out for them. "Blaze, Night! Where are you guys?" He turned his head and looked out a window, What he saw, made him duck down as fast as he could. With a little luck the raiders hadn't seen him yet, and he crawled to the front door. ready to strike his steel clad hooves at the first raider that entered, he waited in the hall, right behind the front door.

When the first raider made his way through the door, he didn't seem to notice Roarke as he sat behind the door. Roarke silently walked behind the raider, and when he got in a good reach, he bucked him with both his hind hooves right on the side of his head.

Knocked out cold, Roarke swiftly took the raider's weapon. It was just a rickety old gun, and it wouldn't survive for long, but it was sufficient for now. As searched the raider for more ammo, he found one extra clip. Checking the mag that was inside the gun, he counted 23 bullets total.

He quickly made his way topside, trying to find Blaze. 

[Delernil 952]

Night made his way out of the back. He came into an alley that would provide cover. He saw the raiders entering the house. 'Good luck.' He mumbled before sneaking past them quickly.

 

He come to another road and hid in the shadows. A group of four raiders passed by him. He stepped out and shot two. The others spun around. He shot another one. The fourth was armed with only a knife and charged at Night Comb. Deciding not to waste bullets, he reached for his knife.

 

He dropped it on the roof earlier.

 

His eyes widened in fear. The pony struck at him. It cut his wings and he cried out in pain. His gun clattered to the floor as the pony came back again. He grabbed the gun and shot, hitting the raider square in the face. His limp body fell on top of Njght, and he was soaked in his blood.

Blaze grinned and pulled his bolt back, he had armor piercing ammo, couldn't wait to try it on some fresh raiders, Blaze set up his bipod and began taking shots at the raiders, his first priority was to save the mate and her foal, he took shots but only landed two of them, he wasn't the best sniper but his shots hit right between their eyes. The mare looked confused but she took her opportunity and ran away with her foal towards the sniper shots, the raiders started shooting at the building Blaze was in, Blaze wondered how Night Comb was doing.

[Delernil 952]

Night Comb pushed the body off of him. He grabbed the gun and checked it. 9 shots.

 

Just then three more rounded the corner. He raised it and shot, killing two and knocking the other off his balance. Night Comb ran up and hit him, sending him into the nearby wall. He turned right and three more were coming.

 

The first raider shot. It hit Night in the hoof. He fell, but raised his gun and fired blindly. He heard a thump and saw one with a knife go down. The first one aimed at Night again but the blue Pegasus shot first. It hit the raider in the chest and he fell.

 

The mare and her foal turned the corner to see the battle. Night Comb saw the fear in her eyes. Night Comb shot the final raider as he ran towards her. He struggled up.

 

'Hello ma'am.'

@@Delernil,@,

Roarke trotted through the building, sticking to corners and watching every movement in search of more raiders. As he saw one entering again, he fired his stolen gun. He never really was a good shot, more of a medic kind of guy, so he missed completely. Firing another three shots, the gun jammed. Luckily, one of his bullets had hit the raider in his shoulder, and had travelled down through his body into one of his lungs. As the raider suffocated slowly, his life oozing out of the wound on his back, Roarke turned away. As he came to the back of the building, he found some dead raiders, and a bloody Night Shade. "Night! Where the hell did they come from?" Roarke said as he gallopped over to him to help him keep his balance. That's when he noticed the other two ponies. "Oh.. uh. Hello?" 

[Delernil 952]

'Uh...I dunno.' Night Comb heaved. He was bleeding heavily. 'They are...uh...I dunno.' He admitted. He smiled at the mother. 'We ain't gonna hurt you.' He said. The beige stallion looked down at his guns ammo counter. 2 shots left. He tossed it aside. 'Thats useless...' He said as he slumped against the wall. He pointed towards the mother and the little filly, hiding behind her. 'Get them...somewhere safe.'

"Shit Night, they got you good." He turned towards the mare and her colt. "Miss, there's a secure building there, one of our friends is in there. You'll know once you see him, he's got a big sniper and everything. I have to surpress Night's wounds, He's losing blood too fast." He turned back to Night and started searching for anything usefull in his inventory. "No..No..No.. Damnit! I have nothing i can use. Night, please tell me you have something like a rag of some sorts, maybe bandages?"

[Delernil 952]

'Uhm...yah.' He said, pointing to the bag he had dropped earlier. 'I should have some on there.' He said with a tried sigh. The mare and colt disappeared, hopefully to go find the building. 'Wait, the raiders...!' He said with alarm. 'You just sent them to the raiders...!' He heaved as he tried to move again.

[OG Blaze 269]

Blaze looked down the buildings and looked at the two pony's that were saved, he put his sniper away and jumped off the roof, he then let his wings gently carry him down, he looked at the mare and the foal, the foal didn't even looked fazed, this filly looked pretty tough, he walked towards them and let his Rig helmet drop down, "how are our guests doing?"

[repsol rave 2,963]

@@Delernil,

Roarke pressed Night down as he tried to move. Having him move muscles would only make him get a higher blood pressure, and he would lose blood even quicker. "The raiders are dead, Blaze sniped a lot of them and i got the others with a gun i scavenged off of them. You need to stop moving, or you'll die before i can help you." He got the bag and pulled aout some of the rags Night got earlier. Using one of them to put pressure on the wound, he got one of Night's hooves and placed it on the rag. "Press down here, it'll hurt." He got some tweezers, some threat and a needle from his own inventory, and sterilized them using a bottle of scotch he was saving. Offering a rag to Night to bite down on, he got the tweezers and started to get the bullet out of the wound in his hoof.

Edited February 8, 2014 by repsol rave

[Delernil 952]

Night Comb sighed and placed the rag in his mouth. He bit down hard as Roarke started removing the bullet.

 

A searing pain shot through his hoof. It was worse than when he was shot. He felt it intensify as each second slowly ticked on. He bit down harder and could feel his leg getting worse. A huge jolt of pain went through him as Roarke finished raking the bullet out of him.

 

He stopped biting the tag and spit it out. He made a groan. 'I don't wanna be shot again...' He miles as he felt his hoof still burning with hurt.

[repsol rave 2,963]

@@Delernil,

Roarke threw the bloody bullet away and put away the tweezers. "That was the worst part. Now i just have to clean, shut and cover the wounds."He got the rag and offered it back to Night. "You'll want to bite on this again." Grabbing the bottle of scotch, he poured some on the bulletwound, and wasted no time as he used the pain and numbing effect of the alcohol to stitch the hole shut. After that, he cut the threat and wrapped the hoof in some bandages.

"Alright, that's your hoof down, now for your wing." He got the bottle of scotch one more time, and poured a small amount on the cut in his wing. This wound needed to be cleaned better tough, since some blade had been through it and nopony wants to know where that blade had been before it cut Night's wing. He wiped the wound with a rag and poured some more alcohol on it, before getting some more threat and stitching it up. It was a slow process, but Roarke got him stitched up and Used the rest of the bandages to keep the cut from re-opening and to support his wing, wrapping it around his body so the wing was now flat to his side. "Alright, that should do it. Come on bud, we should get back to the rest."  Roarke swung Night's bag over his back and helped the stallion up. 

[OG Blaze 269]

Blaze hadn't noticed it till now but he had gotten shot, damn armor didn't tell him about it, there wasn't any blood so it couldn't be that bad, he wouldn't bother anyone by using bandages Night Comb needed them more than he did. Blaze checked his ammo and he was good on that, he would check the raider bodies later for ammo and medpacks.

[Delernil 952]

Night sighed as he got up. 'Thanks.' He said simply. He was still wobbly and his hoof hurt, but he could move. The pair came back to the building.

 

 

'Hey Blaze...' Night mumbled as he walked into the house. The two ponies they had rescued were in a small room eating food they had presumably found. Night Comb smiled and turned to his friends. 'I guess we should start looting the bodies. I threw my gun away.' He said, looking to the pile of bodies that had been made.

 

((OOC: what should we do with the two ponies? We could keep them around for a while.))

Roarke trotted alongside Night as they entered the building. He got the jammed gun from his inventory and tried making it work again. As the jammed shell came loose, the gun went off and nearly shot him in the leg. Frustrated, he handed the gun to Night. "I bloody hate guns." He trotted over to the mare and her colt. "Are you alright miss? I have extended medical knowledge, so if there's anything i can help you with?"
