sooner or later, god'll cut you down.

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Lato'li's orbit and also planetside.
When: Forward dated to 11/15.

[The Interceptor Fleet moves into position, waiting for the last few shield generators to fall. And in the early hours of the 15th, they do. The shield dissolves with a blip as if it was never there, leaving the man-eaters as prone as their prey. The Interceptors send out a transmission-- an unholy mix of Cockney and Australian that graces every available communicator-- if they answer it.]

We’re firin’! Do yer worst, Vieziri! We’re gonna kick yer sorry arses so hard you’ll kiss the moons!

[Five Interceptor ships swoop out of the dark and unload their various weaponry onto the Vieziri warships. At the same time, people stranded on the planet below ready the anti-aircraft guns onto their makers. And of course there is the Fleet itself, battered and yet beautiful across the velvet sky, as they fire everything they have.

Now the Vieziri start moving. Though the big red ship can’t do much maneuvering, the rest of the Vieziri warships certainly can. They fire back at the Interceptors and whoever else fires at them, willing to defend their leader and lose their lives in the process.

Luckily, the Interceptors have their own daring ships, which may look familiar to those who were here for the raider attack. One is emblazoned with racing stripes and flames all along the hull, and it moves so fast it nearly enters hyperspace. It’s there and gone in a flash, weaving past the enemy in crazy thrillseeking loops. Still another Interceptor ship is painted red and orange with a gold plate near the front, which reads BAMF with no explanation. This one has guns aplenty and easily weathers any duel it gets into. The third Interceptor ship is beautiful gold and black, sleek as hell and engineered with sense; this one packs the most gadgets and formidable guns of all calibers, and appears to do the most damage. Trailing behind is a much smaller ship, so nondescript it almost doesn’t stand out at all-- that is, until it forms a barrier to absorb some oncoming fire and reflect it back at the Vieziri.

There’s one ship that’s missing, though-- the one that was blown up several months ago after the heist. In its place is a small black ship that runs invisible to radar, sweeping past with silent speed as it lets loose a barrage of photon missiles onto the Vieziri flagship.

Down below, the Vieziri come out in full force-- one last stand before the warlord falls, trying to finish their fell rituals. Some of them rush the encampments, some go for the cities. Near the restored comms tower, a cloaked figure with a plain white mask fights their way through the onslaught using a plasma blade and a laser rifle.

After an hours-long siege, the big warship finally takes too much fire and breaks apart, lighting up the sky with falling shards like stars. The biggest debris burns up in orbit, but little pieces still rain down. It signals the end as the Vieziri begin to retreat both on ground and in the air. The loss of their leadership leaves them scattered and panicked.

The Fleet has won the day, but as the sun rises again over the wreckage, there is still plenty of work to be done.]


[ooc: Feel free to assume the Interceptors are helping your ships! The gold and black ship can be hailed and will give responses, as she’s been the main point of contact during this plot. You can also run into Zhade, though tags will be slow for both accounting for RL things. Please mark Zhade or Interceptors in the header of your toplevel if you’d like NPC interaction.

Any questions should be asked on the plot post for phase two.]

[Sokka takes another peek at it, grimacing. ]

Ow. Okay, yeah ow. [He puts his hand back on it to try and stem the bloodflow. ]

Well I probably won't die, but it would be super cool if I got to a healer so I could still you know. Have a left arm. That's be neat.
namisan: (my hair needs a brush)

Okay. I can get you off the battle field reasonably fast, assuming we don't get a literal wall of these guys. [She's judging that hole in his arm, and reaches down to tear a band of cloth from the bottom of her shirt. It's not clean, but she just wants to stem the blood flow and give Sokka both hands free.]

Here. Stopgap. [Gimme that arm.] You feel dizzy?

[Please don't feel dizzy.]
alwayscomeback: (Goes on and on)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2017-12-06 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Let's try to avoid any potential walls of people trying to kill us. That's be great.

[She's a good friend, she is. He offers up the arm with argument. ]

Nah, I'm still good on that one. Thanks.
namisan: (...oi vey)

[personal profile] namisan 2017-12-06 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I am all for avoiding killer walls.

[Look at this quick grin. Nami isn't really fussed by this crowd now that she has two working legs again, but all it takes is one slip for that to change, so let's take it carefully. She bandages his arm with some quick efficiency. Probably not as gentle as she could be, sorry about that.]

I can't remember. Did I tell you the climatact could create mirages?
alwayscomeback: (Should have been a better brother)

[He will live with the roughness if it stops him bleeding out and dying in this festering ole of a planet, he really will. A smile, slightly marred with pain crosses his lips.]

You might have mentioned it.
namisan: (spot the rogue in this party)

[personal profile] namisan 2017-12-12 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Then handily she probably doesn't have to explain. Her smile gets a little wider.]

Stick close, okay? Let's see if we can just... leave without further incident.

[She's not gonna just make them vanish this time, but rather put a copy of them on the battlefield as the air gets cool around them. The copy's gonna mirror everything they do, just... you know. In a different direction from them. Nami even waves at herself. Cheerily.]

Shall we?
alwayscomeback: (And I won't let you choke)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2017-12-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[This is some of the trippiest shit Sokka's ever seen and he spent some time trapped in the Spirit World. He stares around in open-mouthed wonder, before slowly turning to Nami.]

...Yes. Yes we shall.
