[IC Board] All the World's a Game - Season II

[S121]

Science Tower - Nevada | Dusk

John calmed down after hearing Jesus's explanation and after a moment, he spoke.

"Then let's go get some weapons to combat him. If you don't want to go, then I'll go into the armory and grab some weapons.", John said to Jesus.

"Is the Electrocannon in the armory? If it is, then we could use it against Phobos.", John added.

Science Tower

"This is my fight John." Jesus replied. "Mine and no one else's. The weapon's in the armory, here's the keys for the truck. Once you get the weapon, you get out of here. I need to finish business."

Jesus tossed the keys over to John, and continued walking.

[S121]

Science Tower - Nevada | Dusk

John grabbed the keys and looked at Jesus.

"Don't get killed.", John said to Jesus as he left.

John felt neglectful for leaving Jesus, but it was his battle. With the keys in hand, John headed to the armory.





Armory - Science Tower - Nevada | Dusk

The door to the armory was locked, but that didn't stop John. Using his enhanced strength, John grabbed the door and pulled it off its hinges. John placed the damaged door on the ground and walked inside. As soon as he entered John saw many, many kinds of weapons, but one in particular caught his eye: the Electrocannon. John wasted no time in grabbing the weapon and sticking it to his back. After retrieving the weapon, John exited the armory and after a couple of minutes, he reached the car.



Science Tower - Nevada | Dusk

As soon as John got to the car, he placed the gun in the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. Right after John closed the door, he pushed the keys into the ignition, but suddenly stopped. John was told to leave, but something kept him at the tower. John wanted to leave, but he couldn't. He couldn't leave Jesus in a place like this. After a couple of seconds, John sighed and looked up at the top floor of the tower. John kept his gaze on the top floor, hoping to find any signs of life.

Sector 1 - Prometheus Labs - London | Night

"Okay." Elsword replied as he walked over to the chair and casually sat down. "I guess I'm ready now Lily..." He said as he sat perfectly still.

Elsword was getting pretty excited that he would at least get to see some of the lab, as well as being able to spar with Raven for the first time in years. Sadly he is still quite upset that Chung didn't even at least try to get him into the Labs.

Sector 1 - Prometheus Labs - London | Night

After a moment, the woman sitting at the desk pressed a button on her keyboard and the camera flashed. Once it was over, the woman added Elsword's profile into the Labs's database while Lily walked over to Elsword.

"That's all. You can now enter Sector 1 and parts of Sector 2.", Lily said to Elsword.

Solarium, Phobo's Sanctum

---

Jesus walked into a large room, most of the ceiling being a window, making the entire room have a red tint.

"Phobos!" Jesus yelled. "I know you're there, you bastard!"

Then, a man wearing a white and black combat jacket, with bandages around most of his face and a metal helmet with an ocular red visor dropped from seemingly nowhere. In hisown hands he had another binary sword.

"Hmph. So the little sheep came back it's flock. Hello, Christoff, or was it christ?" Phobos mocked.

"You know what i'm here for." Jesus said.

"Of course I do. But this time, I think it'll be a bit different." Phobos pulled out a Steyr TMP in his other hand. "Because this time, I have nothing to lose."

The two charged towards each other with a force so strong it sent a shockwave through the city, sounding like an explosion.

City, Nevada

Zombies began to move towards John's vehicle, and even Abominations joined them. If he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to.

[S121]

City - Nevada | Dusk

John felt kind of bad for leaving Jesus in this god-forsaken city, but without his MJOLNIR armor, he wouldn't be of too much help. He may not be of much help, but perhaps Hank and the others could. After a couple of seconds, John did as he was told and turned turned the keys in the ignition. The car roared to life, and after the engine eased into it's usual rhythm, John reversed the car and sped out of the city.

"That's all. You can now enter Sector 1 and parts of Sector 2.", Lily said to Elsword.

After registration was finally complete Elsword jumped up. "Finally!" He said as he turned to Lily. "Okay now what?" Elsword asked as the sound of footsteps coming from behind Lily could be heard. The person behind Raven was none other than Raven who was in his old Crow Mercenaries uniform. "Now we go to the Mess Hall and grab something to eat. You did say you were hungry after all." Replied Raven as Elsword chuckled slightly. "Oh yea... I kind of forgot..." Said Elsword as he noticed Raven's old uniform.

"Whoa Raven... you're wearing that old thing again?"

"Well I had nothing else to wear. Besides... it's about time I don the uniform of my old fellow Crow Mercenaries again."

[S121]

Sector 1 - Prometheus Labs - London | Night

Lily turned around to see Raven in his old uniform and lightly smiled at Raven beneath her helmet.

"So that's the Crow Mercenaries' uniform?", Lily asked in a curious tone as she looked it over, examining it.

Sector 1 - Prometheus Labs - London | Night

"Yea... It's been quite a long time since I last wore this uniform. I'm surprised that it even still fits..." Raven replied as Elsword looked a little less than thrilled at the moment. "Uh guys... why don't we stop talking and get some food, and have a sparring match like we said we would!" Elsword exclaimed in annoyance as he crossed his arms.

"Oh alright Elsword if it'll get you to shut up..." Said Raven as he began to head towards the Mess Hall. "Lily come on. Let's get some food in his stomach before he talks us to death..."

[S121]

Sector 1 - Prometheus Labs - London | Night

"Yep, let's go.", Lily said as she escorted them to the mess hall.





Mess Hall - Prometheus Labs - London | Night

After a couple of minutes, Lily, Raven, and Elsword arrived at the Mess Hall. As soon as they entered, many large Spartans could be seen, sitting down at the tables and on chairs reinforced with steel. It was surprisingly busy, despite the fact that it was late at night. The Spartans eating just came back from a mission, and were now enjoying their well earned meal after fighting against one of the most recent malicious organization uprisings.

"Okay, Elsword. Just grab a plate, go to that machine over there, press a button, and enjoy.", Lily explained as she pointed at one of the high-tech food materializers.

City - Nevada

The Doomguy ran while he shot behind him towards a group of three zombies which were chasing him. He managed to take one down and continued to run forward until he saw a small alley which he ran to.
He looked around and hid behind a dumpster. He then checked the magazine of his pistol. "Great, only two left. I better save those to when I really need them." He said lowly to himself as he placed the gun to a holster and afterwards took out some spikey knuckleduster. "Brute force it is!" He said as he went out of his hiding and stood ready for the zombies to enter the alley. First came one and swung it's arm wildly at the Doomguy, but he duck under before giving an uppercut to the zombie and kicked it afterwards to the dumpster. Then arrived the other zombie and grabbed out after the Doomguy. He grabbed it's hands but was knocked back over to the ground and struggled with it for survival.

[S121]

Hank's House - Nevada | Dusk

As soon as John exited the city limits, John opened up a Corridor of Darkness in front of the car and transported himself and the car back to Hank's house. After parking it back into the garage with a Corridor of Darkness, John grabbed the Electrocannon and fell through a Corridor of Darkness, appearing in Hank's living room.

"Hank, Jesus is still at the science building. Apparently, Phobos is alive.", John said to Hank.

[Koishi]

Science Tower

---

The two clashed, swords swinging with fury, speed and most definately skill. The clang of metal echoed throughout the halls. The familiar shuffle of movement came back to the two, that dance of death, the only dance that any true warrior knew, and knew well.

Then, Jesus knocked Phobos back, allowing him to open fire with his TMP. Jesus blocked most of the shots, but one got him in the waist, but he shrugged it off, even as blood began to spurt. Phobos eventually ran out of ammo, throwing the TMP away and pulling out a small cylindrical device. He flipped open the top and pressed the red button inside. A siren started, and the building shook from explosions. He activated the self destruct sequence.

"Even if I die, you'll die too. A guarantee, to be blunt." Phobos said.

"Enough talk." Jesus rushed in, clipping his side with the blade, but a parry stopping it before the wound became more deep.

City, Nevada

---

The explosions from the Science Tower could be seen and heard far and wide in the city, chunks of building falling down, and the crack of lightning boomed. If it continued, the center of the city would be destroyed.

---

Hank's House

---

"Of course the bastard is." Hank said. "I fought him back a little before that Devourer Incident. Last thing I remember, he and Tricky got teleported."

City - Nevada

The Doomguy kicked the zombie over him, kip-upped and rushed at the zombie while it was getting up to punch it's face at the wall. "That should do i-.." He said as before he was leaped on from behind by the other zombie he had kicked. He moved backwards with speed at the dumpster, which made the zombie fall in as he shut it. "That was rather rude." He dusted himself off and looked out of the alley. "I should be able to relax a bit no-.." He looked at where the explosions came from, at the Science Tower. "What the hell was that?"
