Desert City

[eagleofautozam]

[Video / Desert City Action ]

[It had taken a little while to find enough solid scrap metal to cobble together, even longer since a few of the pieces he had been intending to use transformed into sand before the work could be completed, but now he had a reasonable facsimile of a transportation device. It would not be very comfortable inside and it would need to rely on the thrusters of the FTO to break through to the glass city but it might be able to provide a chance to a few of the people still trapped here.
Eagle smiled and made certain to thank the people who had helped him put all of this together. So much work in such a short time, it had to have been a group effort.]

It looks like we were able to complete our project after all. I can’t take very many, maybe a dozen or so, but if the FTO holds onto this little construct of ours I should be able to ensure that at least some of you can make it to the Glass City.

Lantis, did you manage to make it to the Desert City? If you did I will hold off leaving until you can get here. The building I had the FTO stored in has already turned to sand and collapsed but, I think you can still find where it used to b--…

AAAaaaaaeehhh!!

[That message to Lantis would have been made private but the privacy filters were just not holding up for some reason, however if it had been the rest of the network would have missed hearing the sudden ear piercing scream of one of the lady welders and the roar of the approaching monster. The rest occurred in a blur of color and motion as a sudden frantic defense was mounted.]

Shrooook!

Get back! Stay away from the claws!

[Placing himself between and monster and the civilians was the only way to prevent any of them from falling prey to the snarling scorpion-like creature. From the crate on which the network device sat abandoned only snatches of the ensuing battle could be seen. A flash of a laser weapon, a claw flying free of its former host, the sounds of the battle, and a splash of blood as it hit the sand. Then everything went silent.]

[OCC: Eagle was mortality wounded in this battle but he is stubborn enough to linger for a few parting words. ]

EAGLE!!

[eagleofautozam]

[There is a little lag as someone retrieves the network device
and delivers it to the person she is trying to contact. ]

Mercy?

[coyote_walking]

Eagle? Are you okay? Please, please, tell me you're okay?

[eagleofautozam]

The people I was trying to protect are ok, but I...

[He coughs suddenly and the rest of what he was trying to say was cut off. Clearly he was not ok. ]

[coyote_walking]

[Mercy took out a whole other glass counter when his voice cut off. At this rate she'd be lucky to have any house left at all.]

[antipillar]

Eagle!

[eagleofautozam]

I'm sorry, Lantis...

[A voice greatly weakened and obviously trying to cover the pain of the attack with a soft smile. ]

It appears I was a little clumsy this time.

[antipillar]

Eagle...

Hang on a little longer. I'm trying to get to you...

[eagleofautozam]

I want to. Seeing you one more time...

[He coughs bitterly into his hand. ]

I really want that, Lantis..

[the_dawnster]

OHmigoodness, Eagle. You need, like... doctors and hospitals and nurses and stitches... which, ew. But okay. I can come find you and take you to the hospital, okay? Okay. Is the hospital even still staffed? Nevermind, it's sad but I have worldly repairing wounds experience. Where exactly are you?

[eagleofautozam]

Thank you... Dawn, but I think in this case I might not be here when you arrive.

[the_dawnster]

Might not be there as in... someone's coming to get you? You mean someone's coming to get you already... right?

[Oh Dawn, you're so hopeful and yet deep down, you know the truth.]

...right?

[eagleofautozam]

[Eagle tries to manage a smile for her. ]

Not exactly. The monster was a little faster than I was.

[negativegate]

Hey--dammit--Eagle! Are you there?

[He can't die too, right?]

[eagleofautozam]

Rita? But I thought that you...

[That's right. The City's resurrection powers must still be working even with the current crisis. ]

It is nice to hear your voice.

[negativegate]

N-nevermind me! [She died...but she wants to make sure Eagle isn't going to do the same.]

What happened to you?

[eagleofautozam]

A monster surprised our group...

I wasn't quite quick enough.

[blackshadow]

Eagle!

[ Maybe other people would have faith in their friends surviving, but after losing Rita, he's not that naïve (or hopeful?). In the back of his mind, he thinks Eagle would have wouldn't mind dying to defend his group... Not that it makes Tyr accept his death more easily. ]

[eagleofautozam]

[Very true Tyr. Dying like this, for a worthy cause, isn't something that Eagle really minds at all. He did say as much to Mercy. ]

Is... that you, Tyr?

[blackshadow]

Yeah... Where are you?

[eagleofautozam]

There used to be a warehouse just outside of town...

[It had long since turned to sand and blown away but much of the equipment the building used to house was still there. The landmarks were gone but the giant white mecha kneeling there on the sand would be hard to miss. ]

I don't think there is any point in your coming, Tyr.

[He watched intensely as he desperately looked for the where the man was. As soon as he was about to say "watch out", he saw the inevitable.]

Eagle!

[ooc; adjfa;jfa; I REALLY THOUGHT I TAGGED THIS POST!! =;A;=!! GAAAH, So sorry this is late, bb OTL OTL OTL]

[video:]

[eagleofautozam]

[For the longest time there is only the crackle of static or maybe it was just sand being blow up against the speaker. When Eagle is finally able to respond his voice is choked, much weaker than it usually is. ]

I was able to stop the monster...

[That is important, right? The most important thing was saving those people. ]


[OOC: Oh no, don't worry about it! That totally happens! *HUGS*]

[closetpervert]

[Goodness, he sounded horrible and how selfless he was even in such situation.]

Aa, you did. But right now, think more of yourself. Hang in there, I'm heading over right now.

[His voice sounding uneasy as he begins to run.]

[ooc; Thank youuu =;A;= /HUUUUUGS~<3333]

[video:]

[eagleofautozam]

Maybe...

[Eagle coughed bitterly. Talking was not an easy task any more.]

... you could make sure these people make it to the Glass city?


[OOC: No problem~! ^___^ ]
