Calm had washed over the bones of the heroes David, Brian, and Ray for they had succeeded. They rescued Mario from the afterlife and saved him from eternal torment. Marios cheerful mood betrayed his new form. Dressed in black robes he looked the same on the outside, save for a scar running diagonally from the bridge of his nose to just under the left end of his eye. Surely he received this from the end of Zaraki's blade. He also seems to hold himself differently but its hard to pin down how. Brian similarly is setting off an aura of unease as though his very existence is off putting to the natural balance this is not neutralized by his wardrobe choice of a tuxedo. Black and Ray, despite some torn clothes, a tired look, and a distant stare, seem to be more or less together.
At that point there appears a flash of blue light accompanied by the sounds of thunder. The blue light fades and in its place there is a fully armed solider. Unrecognizable at first, after a second you can tell this is Quinn. Marios eyes light up but before he can speak he is cut off by an icy cold voice echoing from above. "The holy land... lies in shambles?" the voice belongs to a man floating down from the sky. The descending man appears to be a dark skinned gypsy of some kind.
The gypsys eyes fill with unrelenting rage. "Intruders to the holy land you will be purged!" he holds his hand out as a pillar of light is released. It flies far above the groups head and misses terribly..... very anticlimactic somehow.
Initiative is Quinn, Ray, Black, Mario, Brian, then the gypsy again (you can post in any order but im just noting this so you understand who acts slightly quicker, roughly a split second faster)

Black quickly draws his sword.
I don't suppose I can afford to think he'll miss like that more than once he thinks before rushing at the man (on his turn).
Sword held high, Black will close in and fake left before rushing to pass on the right. Attempting to hack through the mans shin as he goes.

Fred steps into the small grove near Sutton. Wow, that was fun., he thinks in his new, slower mode of speech.
When he looks upwards, he sees a senseless battle about to take place. Grabbing a large log, he charges in and declares, "Wait! No! They do not mean to defile the land! Coming to blows solves nothing! Let us talk this out! They do not see themselves as intruders, as they have been here for their entire lives!" in a deeper baritone. Brian's unnatural aura bothers him, but that is a matter for later. Peace is the first prerequisite to balance, natural harmony.

Quinn will look for cover and after reaching it lay down suppressive fire with his saw using 7 to 9 round bursts taking only a split second in between burst to realign his sights with his target.
"wtf, I just got back and already the supernatural things are trying to kill me! what did I do to deserve this?" Quinn quietly mumbles to himself.

Though he knows that the SAW will overpower his voice, he bellows to Quinn, "Stop! Don't immediately attack or there is no way to find a peaceful resolution!"

Ray will get behind the boxes of guns and Jury Rig a short fused bomb that will blow up in mid air over the guys head with extra bullets on the outside to create shrapnel, in hopes to impair him in some way.
As Ray ducks behind the boxes he will shout out "FUCK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY!"

I think Ray and everyone pretty much decided to fight first and ask questions later, Fred not that I think your wrong it could have had a peaceful ending but I hate it when I'm attacked and can't fight back so all might frustration is probably going into the effort i'm putting into trying to kill this guy.
even if I hear fred I will still try to kill this mysterious guy unless everyone else ceases there attacks

As seeing the happenings from his position, Joseph rushes to help his friends, Roaring "YOU WILL DIE WITCH!"
He runs, trying to close distance with the gypsy, readying Zentetsuken over his head for a downward vertical slash.

"like you wouldn't believe" is the slogan if i remember correctly
at this, Brian will raise one of the rifles from under his tux and look around to see if there are any other enemies about, it seems to Brian that the blast must have been some sort of distraction, or some sort of first step in a summoning ritual... so with that, he'll stay on alert and look around for anything out of the ordinary...
but also use mirage to bring up some illusionary doubles of each of us to impare or perhaps confuse the Gypsy

Quinn dives behind the sign near the entrance to the apartments and fires his SAW. The gypsy is hit with the bullets and is nearly shredded by them, he seems to have some sort of energy pulling him back together but he has lost a lot of blood.
Ray throws his bomb hits the gypsy from above and blows him out of the sky, he lands on his feet despite this and yells "What are these unholy contraptions!"
The gypsy creates a blade of light and attempts to parry Black. The fake out totally catches the gypsy off guard and his leg is cut deep.
Mario moves forward to slash at the gypsy with his left hand dagger. The gypsy barely catches the blade with his light blade. Mario then brings up his right hand and cuts the right wrist of the gypsy making his blade hand worthless.
Brian sees no opponents around other than the gypsy, Mirage creates illusory doubles of all combatants but the gypsy.
The gypsy takes off upwards into the air and shouts "Bah, a thousand years of a false nirvana has made me weak but I shall return!" he attempts to flee away.

Black will look up at the Gypsy as he flees skyward, oddly comforted by the cliche' set up and QUITE confident he'll return at least three more times in the series.
After watching his departure Black will turn to everyone else.
"Hey, everybody's together now. Awesome. And Quinn, dude! It's been forever man!"

Fred yells, "Wait! EVERYONE STOP SHOOTING!" at the top of his lungs. He prays to the Earth so that he can quiet the land for just a moment. He grabs a rock and hurls it, hoping to hit the man and bring him to the ground so they can reason with him. "We do not want to hurt you, but you provoked us! Now everyone stop!"
OOG:
Then Fred will undoubtedly try to stop you. Not saying it's OOC, but there may be hittin' with a large stick involved.
Also, Joe: You silly man, ITM is all about falling down deep dark holes and getting knocked out a lot!

well, as he's getting away, i'll use my mars djinn summon and try to nail him with it and bring him down to earth once again... and if possible, i'd like to use echo to hit him with the summon twice
"fred, everything i've encountered thus far that hasn't been one of us, has tried to kill me, i'm not about to think that that trend has subsided. and if i'm going to continue that assumption, it's kill or be killed!"

I'll stop shooting at him, if hes going to flee. I only have so many bullets after all.
after standing up Quinn says "generally speaking, I have no clue what the fuck is going on so could someone fill me in. Mario I'm so glad you back from the dead... what happened here that you ended up dead?"
Quinn will look around his surrounding to see what is out of the usual to a regular person.
"ya know I'm technically awol, mia or kiaw once the military realizes I'm not where i'm supposed to be and they are going to be going crazy trying to find me and my weapon since its a sensitive item..."

The rock goes whizzing past the head of the gypsy causing him to redirect his flight course to the left. Mars summon is out of range and you cannot use a djinn and a summon at the same time.
Mario turns towards Quinn. "Well man its a long story we need to get somewhere safe first." Mario then turns to Fred. "Sorry cant stab him from here."
"This place is swarming with ghosts, its not safe lets hurry." Mario says hoping everyone will comply.
Mario moves towards rays land train, which im sure he would like to describe to you in his next post.

"I found a Druidic village after being attacked by human supremacists and living sludge. I had been killed by whomever those people were who were killing us, and woke up in sludge. Apparently, I had become something like a Swamp Thing. The land speaks to me now, and I'm feeling like a druid or shamanic path has taken over me. Brian: Had I proceeded off your assumption, I wouldn't be here right now and some innocent elves would be dead. We cannot run around and assault everyone. That man was possibly reachable: Confused and angry, but not necessarily evil. Now it will be yet harder to find peace. Quinn: I doubt anyone is looking for you. In Louisiana, I found multiple towns that were completely deserted. The world is largely gone. No radio transmissions from ANYWHERE, whether HAM or regular car radio, which means that police and military transmissions are probably down or intermittent."
Fred looks with trepidation at the train. He seems to not like the unnatural nature of the vehicle. Nonetheless, he steps on. Working with the group is better than his private mistrust of technology.

Its a Mack truck that is fully armored with a trailer behind it that is also armored, inside the trailer there are beds, a few generators, 2 fridges and some double doors at the back, the double doors lead to a small storage with tools and extra parts for the truck. The only way to enter this trailer is though the cab of the truck though an armored catwalk. behind the living quarters there is a flat bed with a red honda chained to it and a green jaguar also chained to it, and at the very end of the flat bed there is a bunch of gun crates chained down.

"that is interesting, Fred I don't know how long that teleporting stone took but I have obviously been out of the loop for quite some time. BTW, Fred I highly doubt the military can't use its phones or radios right now there very persistent and it won't take them long to reorganize. But I doubt they will notice I'm gone if this mess is taking place all over the world... I mean I didn't hear anything about this in Iraq and they would have been screaming at me and winchester if they lost comms for more than 5 minutes."
"This is pretty impressive Ray, it would take a lucky shot with a rocket to take something like this down. you could add flares to it to prevent any thing from locking onto it."

"Really flame would do that? hmm guess I'll have to now. Also if you look at the front you can see my horrible art work, its a goat holding up a baby snorting cocaine off the babies penis." OOC: Yeah I rolled 2 91s and 2 average rolls to get this baby, and Jury Rig (rank 1)

"Quinn, you're assuming that any substantial amount of them are alive. It does not seem to be the case. We should assume for now that there are no military defenders, though I imagine there are some. The main point, of course, is that they have far greater concerns than finding you, not to mention you were AWOL for a legitimate reason. I wasn't using a stone, but rather transmission through the Earth. And yes, Ray, flares, flak, chaff launchers, and reactive and layered armor would be great upgrades."
As Fred settles down, he says, "Let's loot what we can before we leave. Then the question is: Where to?"

"I know there not going to come looking for me, they probably assume I'm dead but its more a matter of having left my comrades although its for a no less important reason... I doubt all of them are dead anyway but there definitely trying to rise from the ashes around them right now. the stone I was referring to was a magical stone I used to get here but I didn't think it would take so long to get here that the military would be in ashes by the time I got here."

Mario steps onto the land train along with everyone else. "The apartment here is blown up but Sutton might still have loot able stuff." He flops down back first onto a bed in the room while saying "But seriously I am just glad the djinn found you guys and am glad your alright man." the last part directed to Quinn.
"As for how I died, I was taken out by the giant explosion that hit this place and had no idea how it happened." Mario pulls out one of his zanpakuto and begins picking blood out from under his fingernails, which had gotten there when Mario sliced the gypsy along his wrist.

"What? I don't get a response?" Black will mutter while following everyone back to the land train, slightly hurt.
Well, what the fuck. Everyone's together, I'm having the time of my life, excellent mystery out in front of us...I guess a missing response is the least of my worries...
On that note Black will find somewhere to sit.

"sorry black, its good to see you to I just wish it would have been under different circumstances. So there was a big explosion and you ended up dead... yep, sounds about right that seems to be how it usually happens" Quinn will place the spare barrels on the ground and adjust his IOTV " I guess we should see what we can salvage. BTW none of you have a weapon/ rifle that isn't so cumbersome this thing (indicates SAW) is a real pain so carry around all the time."
