War in Korea - War at the Outskirts

Description: Arriving Shadaloo Military does battle with US forces and assisting heroes. Unfortunately for one group of soldiers, they get to fight Razor, Munin, and Yoshimitsu at the same time! Though they fight valiantly, in the end they still lose and the heroes take home an enemy commander for questioning.



Metro City, Outskirts --

The sky at this portion of the outskirts of Metro City is black with the smoke of fires. Fires from burning buildings, burning vehicles, and once green earth turned black and scarlet from the roaring flames threatening to consume it. It is a bleak day for Metro City, and it is only the beginning.

The roaring of plane engines can be heard from overhead, accompanied by the bursting of bombs upon the ground and the firing of mighty mortars into the air. Here, in this place, a battle is being waged for the fate of the city and it is one of many... it is a battle between US Forces and Shadaloo's private military. Though it primarily a mechanized battle happening here... groups of foot soldiers can be seen running about and firing upon the engines of destruction and upon each other. This place, this once beautiful place made ruinous, is complete and utter hell. Even this early in the battle bodies can be seen laying strewn about... a fair representation of both sides among them.

Driving along a stretch of highway, flanked by soldiers, a Shadaloo tank - a modified M1 Abrams painted dark as the night sky and bearing a large metallic skull with wings on its hull - is making its way slowly toward the city. <"...No enemies yet sighted in the immediate area. Over."> says a commanding male's voice from within the metallic beast. A female voice immediately replies, <"Roger that. Keep us updated, we'll have aerial support nearby. Over.">. So far, the tank remains largely un beseiged despite the battle raging around it... that may change however... soon enough.

One might question what a mere civilian like Rex Rodfield would be doing on a battlefield like this.

One might especially question such a thing if one happened to be the man himself. Razor has been in the presence of gunfire before, and even been shot at, but only by thugs in the street, and never hit. But this situation is something completely different.

Nonetheless, Razor knows that people need time to try and evacuate the city. And if that means acting as a distraction - or worse - then he is prepared to exercise his First Amendment right - the right to bear arms.

Or bare arms, in this case? Razor doesn't know anything about guns, but there is one thing he knows how to do, and that's punch things. So he's been keeping his head low, trying to ambush whatever enemies he can at close proximity.

Now, though, he's found himself in a predicament. On a rocky outcropping near the stretch of road the tank is rumbling down, hidden amidst some trees, he finds himself watching the vehicle roll past. Is it possible that there's some kind of command unit in there? Razor wouldn't know, but this seems like a unique opportunity to find out. And if things don't pan out, at least he can say that he died facing a tank. That's a pretty badass way to go out, right?

Thusly will the M1 in question find a rather sizeable rock suddenly hurtling out of the sky toward the top of the turret, intending to give the gunner on top a bad day.

Violet eyes narrow as the force of shadaloo soldiers move through the city. She's been tracking troop movements for the past few hours, and estimated a group would likely come through here soon, so she set herself up a little trap for them. Working quickly, she has hidden herself under a small patch of debris along the ground level. While the tank was not fully expected, the sound of the footsteps above her small hidey-hole she's positioned herself in draws attention. Gazing up through the small crack she's left for air as well as sight, she sees the uniforms, and smiles grimly. The sound of the large rock being flung at the tank acts as a cue of sorts, as well as a distraction.

She bursts out of the ground in the midst of the soldiers, lances of dark purple chi emitted from her gloved palms. She then spins viciously, slicing and dicing any and all enemy soldiers within range!

Munin has no intention of taking any prisoners.

He was not here for them.

The ways of war was often of little concern for Yoshimitsu. His pursuits were of the social nature; to strike down evil, to steal from the rich to give to the poor. Such was the way of the Manji Clan. But there was a darker story of why Yoshimitsu was in Metro City.

His blade called for it.

The cursed blade of the Manji Clan fed off the souls of the wicked, feeding on evil to strengthen itself. Should it fail to consume, however, it will consume the soul of its wielder, filling it with a murderous bloodlust to take all souls it can. The blade sensed a great darkness over the city, a foul spirit of an abomination of souls injected into the shell of pure evil. Such concentration of evil was against the will of the universe. Yoshimitsu had come to the city to hunt him down, and kill the demon.

But the cursed blade's hunger needed to be satiated.

There is no stealth, no subtly as the skeletal form of Yoshimitsu suddenly explodes from within the asphalt, casting away a small, black blanket to the ground. Katana burning with green energy, the horrific visage of the skeleton gazes with green flames at the cadre of soldiers. Thrusting a palm towards the soldiers, the sinister light of its eyes flare to horrible light. And with grating, crass tones, the leader of the Manji clan hisses to the men their epitaph.

"BLACK SOULS IN FOUL SHELLS
FOLLOWING DREAMS OF DEMON,
INTO THEIR DEMISE!

Gripping the blade with both hands, Yoshimitsu hurls himself into the fray. Blade swirling, the cursed sword could sense it in the hearts. Cruel men under a cruel despot. Willing to murder innocents for promises of money, of power, of twisted dreams, of sick fantasies. Three cuts are unleashed: An overhead swipe, a low to high sever, and a finishing tear across. Three cuts.

Three deaths.

From within the metallic beast comes the voice of that very gunner, <"...Did... someone just throw a..."> ... and the rock smashes to bits against thee armored hull of the gunner section suddenly. This causes the entire tank to halt suddenly, its treads grinding to a stop as the domed hull containing the machine gun swivels about at the top. <"...Someone threw a rock at us, sir.">, comes the gunner's voice again. <"...What? Hahahaha! Is the enemy so poor the can't even afford proper weapons? ... Where is it?"> <"I don't know, sir."> <"What the hell do you mean you don't know?! Rocks don't throw themselves! Find the idiot who threw it and shoot them!">

The soldiers accompanying the tank, however have only a moment to respond after Munin appears to act. And act they do, miraculously managing to hit the dirt before the energy attack manages to do much more than shred their uniforms a bit. They then regather themselves jjust in time to... stare in a mix of fear and stunned bewilderman at the sword-wielding mechanical skeleton who appears. His attack, however, is far too fast and powerful for them to deal with, and though they attack to block the sword strikes with their rifles... they onnly succeed in getting their riles destroyed and clothes shredded a bit more.

The gunner's sectin swivels around at Yoshimitsu suddenly, <"Enemies spotted, sir."> <"Fire, stupid!"> ... And fire it does, a bursting. of bullets fly forth from the machine gun suddenly... coming in rapid bursts.

The foot soldiers, meanwhile, pull out their service pistols and immediately open fire on Munin.

Razor looks a bit disappointed when the rock bounces more or less ineffectually off of the modified Abrams. Not that he expected it to do much. Then, though, the tank pulls to a stop. He expects to have the gun swivel toward him and is diving for cover, but then it suddenly seems to have found a new target. Grabbing a length of metal lodged in a hunk of concrete that he'd brought with him from the rubble of the city, Razor rolls down the side of the hill before charging at the tank, aiming to try and climb on top to try and start wailing on the machine gun mounts while avoiding the arc of fire in what could be one of Razor's worst plans of all time.

Luckily for Munin, this is neither her first time in a warzone, nor her first time being shot.

She avoids what she can, the rest impacting solidly on her small body. Some hit her arms or edges of her torso, drawing blood, but those that impact her chest don't seem to have too much effect but to make her wince. Seems she's learned that when fighting those using guns like THESE guys, some body armor is always useful! It was so nice of the last soldier she ran into to donate his for the cause!

She splits in two suddenly, one image attacking one soldier, the other going the other way to attack another, both with a palm strike. Course, only one is the real deal. Moments after doing this, once the fake image has vanished, she does it again, this time with a kick to the head! She attempts to hit as many soldiers as she possibly can, hoping they don't wisen up to her tricks, and using a variety of hand-to-hand and chi-lance palm attacks.

Three slashes.

No deathes.

"Despite all my skill,
Not a single dead soldier?
Unacceptable!"

Suchw as the statement of the ninja, the frenzy only cutting through sword and uniform. And yet, the burning green eyes only spoke of the mobility of the ninja. Gazing towards Razor, he nods appeasement to his sudden ally. But with the presence of Munin, further joy sat within his alien heart. But such comradeship is broken as the tank comes to life, aiming the heavy machine gun straight for the ninja. Turning to face the gun head on, he seems to almost be waiting for it. The tank opens fire.

And Yoshi begins to deflect the bullets.

Swinging his blade around wildly, the ninja begins to send the bullets scattering across the air. Bringing his own wrists up, he bats away the .50 bullets as if they were mere plastic shells, leaving only dents in his wrists... and his cloth armor torn away. For now, the tank was safe from the ninja.

For the Ninja was still in the midsts of executing the soldiers.

Yoshimitsu suddenly backflips to the air, sword still spinning. Casting overhead, the whirling blade takes the ninja to the skies. Flying overhead, the nightmarish skeleton crosses his legs, hovering over the soldiers. A lucky footman, focused on Munin, is selected at the victim. The blade calling for blood, Yoshi breaks from the flight, dropping straight down to a single, downward slice.

"~NAMU!~"

The gunner sprays bullets relentlessly at the armored skeleton wielding that eerily glowing blade, but the firing seems to do little if anything to down the monstrosity despite its intentions. <"Sir, I don't know what that THING IS... but it's definitely not human."> <"It's one of those dangerous fighters fool. It's a monster like Lord Vega. This requires heavier artillery.">, and even as the chatter continues from within the hull... the tank mortar now begins to sweep the area in an attempt to locate the monstrosity. <"...Command, we may require assistance. We're dealing with inhumans. Over."> <"Roger that Black Tail. We'll send in reinforcements when we can.">

When Razor attacks it, suddenly, the tank mortar rotates toward him slowly... <"I think we just got hit on this side."> <"Which side stupid?!"> ... and suddenly, Munin would find the barrel of a mortar cannon aiming at her if she bothered to look. <"That's not it, sir."> <"Who CARES! Shoot it!">

...And within the space of a moment or so, the tank mortar roars as an explosive shot is fired... heedless of the surrounding soldiers in its way.

...Fortunately, just prior to the attack being fired into their vicinity, Yosimitsu leaps into the fray and gives the soldiers a motivating reason to move. "Here it comes! Scatter!" The apparent leader shouts suddenly, as all four men darts away from the tank in a hurry. The best that the blade will manage, if perhaps entirely by sheer luck, is t shred one of their uniforms a tiny bit more... including removing the shoulder adornments of the leader.

After successfuly dodging he possibly fatal strike, the squad of men then aim their pistol fire at the skeleton.... the danger he poses taking precedence over the others.

"Shit," Razor says, losing his grip on the heavy object in his hand as the tanks turret starts to swivel. The recoil from the weapon firing causes him to stagger on top of the vehicle, and he turns to look to see where the shot was going as his ears ring, before turning his attention back to the vehicle. There's clearly no way that he can do anything about the weapon's main gun from here, but maybe he can distract the crew? Drawing back his fist, he attempts to drive his hand into some of the equipment on top of the chassis.

Another miss.

Dropping into the midsts of the soldiers, Yoshimitsu fails to claim any wicked souls for his blade. Tearing his sword to the asphalt, he awkwardly rises again. Soon, as the guns are trained on him, the nightmarish ninja stops his rise, , gazing upon insignia. Wisking it off the ground, he rises up, staring at the symbol with burning eyes. Soon, the pistols open fire into the form of the robotic ninja.

But he does not wince

The small arms pepper the form of the standing Yoshimitsu. Still inspecting the weapon, the bullets hammer into the form of the ninja. The true damage becomes obvious when a bullet ricochets, flying through the air towards the tank. As it dings off harmless of the tank, Yoshimitsu is content with his inspection of the insignia, turning towards the soldiers. And suddenly, the horrible sound cuts through the air, a grating, mechanical scream from within the ninja. Eyes growing brighter, the monotone of laughter cuts over any other sounds, smothering all noise with its nature.

"HA HA HA HA HA!
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!
HA HA HA HA HA!

Such Absurdity!
Your bullets are of no use
Against a ninja!"

Yoshimitsu's jaw suddenly unhinges, growing grotesquely wide. Suddenly, his head begins to spin in place, whirling faster and faster in a 360 degrees circle. Jaw growing wide and wide, a hissing sound suddenly erupts from the ninja as foul, green gas begins to roll forth from his jaw. A thick cloud of poisonous gas begins to fill the area around him, to fill the circle that the soldiers had made. Spreading wider and wider, to choke the living... and to bring them to their knees.

As the nightmare skeleton's head continues to spin.

Munin has all of a moment to blink as she finds herself peering down the barrel of the big tank gun!

Then, it fires!

She has been through a lot in her training. The first war with Shadaloo, constant battles with warriors of intense power, including Vega himself. Therefore, it is purely on reflex that she spins, her arm blurring past as she goes flying back with momentum of the shot.

However, there is no explosion or red haze to signify an injured person.

A few moments later, she starts to stir, and stand up. her glasses have been knocked away, and her glaring gaze of those glowing purple eyes lock on the tank. Slowly, she then holds up the shell it fired. Her wrist may well be broken, and adrenaline is holding her together for now. She isn't sure. Either way, the round fails to do it's job, amazingly.

Then, she grins evily at the tank, hoping they can see what she just did, as she lets the large hot slug fall from her burned hand, and begins to trudge back over towards the tank, black chi drifting off her hands.

The group of four open fire upon Yoshimitsu, and despite aiming for every single place which might even remotely look like an opening, their futile spray of bullets proves to be utterly useless. As he leaps towards them, the foot soldiers immediately scatter, and by sheer chance, manage to avoid being hacked to bits again by the eery armored skeletal monstrosity. "Damn it!" The leader yells angrily, as the group spreads apart. "Open... "... and before he can say fire, the skeletal monstrosity's maw opens suddenly and the skull begins to spin rapidly about... spraying noxious fumes everywhere. Bet they wish they'd worn gas masks now.

Coughing violently as the gas enters their lungs, the two who are standing at Yoshimitsu's fore attempt to open fire upon the maw... far too late. They only succeed in wasting ammunition from there on out... "D-... god... damnit..."

As for Razor attempt to punch through the tank's equipment... well at BEST he might hit hull and find his knuckles very sore... at worst he might get flung from the metallic beast as its guns swivel rapidly after firing at Munin. It's now attempting to locate him apparently...

... And what became of that shot fired at Munin? The dud M830 HEAT round is fired into her awaiting hands where it... fails to explode. <"Sir, its a dud."> comes the main gunner from somewhere within, <"Wbat is?"> <"That HEAT round sir."> <"..You're telling me this WHY?? Find whatever hit us and fire again!">

...And though the Tank's mortar does not find the source of the striking sound upon its hull, the machine gunner does manage to spot Yoshimitsu again. <"I found that strange skeleton sir, opening fire..."> ... And open fire again it does, a spray of bullets is once again unleashed at the ninja in blazingly quick bursts.

As the tank's gun swivels on top of the vehicle's body, Razor is forced to look for a way off in order to avoid getting tripped up by the turret, as well as avoiding the barrels of the vehicle's secondary weapons. Seeing the soldiers begin to scatter in the presence of the toxic ninja, he braces himself at the edge of the hull, before launching himself off of the vehicle with a spinning, flying kick toward a pair of the soldiers running alongside the vehicle.

"Hrraaugh!"

They probably won't have any trouble finding him now...

Such chaos.

The remains of the battlefield was shattered asunder, the ninja having torn the pieces of the field with his poisonous air. Fixing his head straight, he shoves his jaw back up, forcing into the locked mask of death. Already, he was beelining it to the commander. Dispatch the commander. Leave the remains to recover in the wake. Despite this, however, the tank focuses its attention straight for him.

This time, however, Yoshi doesn't block.

The flurry of bullets, undeflected this time, notably have a greater effect than the small-calibur arms of the foot soldiers. The bullets penetrate, for one, tearing through the ninja ruthlessly. The skeleton stops cold, moaning feebly as he collapses to the ground.

And steadily, sits back up.

In the midsts of the chaos, in the violence, in the war, the Ninja assumes the position. Crossing his legs, he places the sword at his side. And there, he begins to chant softly, focusing within as he sits in the lotus position. Momentum was gone. No blood came from his body. And yet, he simply waits.

"Shiki soku ze kuu..."

As the gunner peppers Yoshimitsu with a hail of bullets, the tank itself becomes to rumble to life... its treads becoming animated again as it slowly attempts to maneuver itself away from the gathered group. Its pilots are hoping to get some distance so they can fire the M256A1 Smoothbore armament at them again without possibly damaging the tank. At the same time, even as the top mounted machine gun ceases to spray bullets at Yoshimitsu, another gun mounted beside the primary one swivels... homing in on Razor as he falls off of the hull at the foot soldiers. It then purposefully waits for an opportunity to fire.

The soldiers, meanwhile, are struggling simply to breathe at the present time. Which makes it a miracle then when Razor leaps toward them in an attempt to strike, they manage to narrowly escape the attempt... the kick only barely grazing one of them in the shoulder enough to cause a slight bit of pain.

Stumbling backwards a bit, the soldier who was struck grasps at his sore joint while the others close in around Razor. "Boy, you're in a warzone you know that?" The commander speaks, even as Yoshimitsu promptly takes a seat on the ground and begins to chant to himself strangely. This draws more than one stare... "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??" He shouts again, momentarily, and reluctantly turns back toward Razor and his gathered men. "WITHDRAW!" The order is given, and all four of them proceed to... try to run away?? ... No, that's not quite it, as Razor (and possibly Yoshimitsu) would soon find out as a hand grenade is thrown into their midst!

Seeing their men scatter, the tank's secondary gunner sees the shot he'd been waiting for... and proceeds to pepper the area both are in with a hail of 7.62 mm rounds again!

Razor couldn't be more aware of the fact that he's in a war zone at the minute. In fact, he can barely hear what the commander is saying as his ears remain thick with the aftermath of the explosion. "Wrong with us?! That... that is a mighty good question," Razor trails off to a mumble as he assesses the situation. Particularly the ninja who's content to sit there near a main battle tank. As the soldiers start to fall back, he just manages to notice the object being thrown toward himself and the fiery green ninja. "Ah, hell," he mutters, before running and sliding away from the explosive, shielding himself from the brunt of the blast by staying low covering his head with his hands. A few shards manage to graze him, opening bleeding cuts on his back and arms, though he manages to avoid the worst of the attack.

As the dust and debris starts to settle, Razor picks himself up off of the ground and starts to charge after the commander of the troops on foot, aiming to try and catch him by the shoulder and, if successful, turn him around to throw a punch to his face.

Such was the way of the ninja.

As the flurry of bullets come his way again, Yoshimitsu continues to focus. He was chanting to himself, finding his center, communing with the blade. Something like that tank was dangerous. There was no spirit in it, no soul. As the grenade is thrown in tandem, Yoshi begins to spin. The fragments of the blast tear at him, the bullets pepper his frame. But as Yoshi spins in his spot, smoke begins to appear at his seat.

And suddenly, he is gone.

Reappearing at the side of the tank, the ninja rises, drawing back his blade. He was silent now, focused unto the spirits within the tank. While the tank was metal, the men within were not. They were living creatures, being that could be slain. Drawing back his blade further and further, he sensed within the tank. There was no weakness in the armor that Yoshi could tear into. But he could sense the blackest soul within. The moment cannot pass. Yoshi finds the point in the midst of the tank. The blade is unleashed, thrust hard and deep towards the heart of the tank. It was live or die now. Whether or not Yoshi crushes through the armor made the difference between slaying the man within.

Or sparing the wicked soul's life.

...And the thrown granade does not manage to do anywhere near the damage it was intended to, bouncing into their midst only to explode violently and throw dust high into the air uselessly. "God damn it!"" The commander, and his men, had stopped a safe distance away... and he's cursing their speed and his own bad aim that they're still living after that. It was pretty DAMN difficult for normal people to deal with... beings like these: the monsterous armored ninja, and his battle hardened thug companion.

It's because they pause to watch the carnage that Razor manages to catch up with them... and hit the commander square in the jaw after using his jerking him by the shoulder directly into the path of that punch.

And what a punch it is. The fist collides with an audible CRACKing as the head honcho is sent flying, across the dusty plain. It's only after Razor barrels through their territory into their leader's that the gathered men manage to register his attack and attempt to leap upon him for a swift beating.

...A beating that doesn't come because they all miss him by a mile... falling on top of each other.

The massive engine of war, meanwhile, is trying to adust to the sudden position change as that skeletal monstrosity suddenly seems to teleport right next to it. <"HAAAAAAAAAA!! Where the hell did it come from??"> <"Where did what come from....?" <"I think he means that monster that suddenly appeared at our flank sir!"> <"GOD DAMN IT!">

...The attempt to cut through the heavily armored hull is met with considerable resistance however. Given that the armor its packing is made to stop the worst sort of rounds a normal M1 can fire, it only succeeds in cuttitng perhaps a few inches deep at best. It's an ugly gash, and a future weakpoint, but it doesn't do too much of significance. Yet.

That said, given that the only gun they're able to fire at the moment is on that side... a hatch soon opens on the top of the tank's hull and one of the men clad in Shadaloo uniform emerges to man the manual turret - opening fire on Yoshimitsu below.

As his punch catches the officer in the jaw, Razor makes a swipe for the man's service pistol before the other soldiers heave themselves at him. He's not the sort to use guns, really, but with his history of running with street gangs, he at least knows enough about them to make sure the safety's off. Stepping back from the soldier man-pile, he points the gun up toward the soldier manning the machine gun on top of the tank. Not shooting to kill, but to distract, and hopefully give the ninja an opening to take cover or press the assault. Speaking of which...

"Hey, ninja man... you're on our side, right?"

Assist Yoshimitsu?

To help Yoshimitsu was vital right now. As his impale fails to crack the shell of the vehicle, the ninja draws back the weapon. The response of the turret blasts him back, the direct hit blowing him away. Landing with a grunt and a tumble, smoke courses over the skeleton. Rising up, he finds that Razor was assisting him.

Which is quite a surprise, for the ninja master!

As Yoshimitsu tosses a small katana, a wakizaki in fact, at Razor's feet. Vaulting to the air slowly, the Ninja mounts himself on top of the tank, laying flat on his back on the turret of the tank. Blade raised high, he suddenly calls out to the wrestling thug.

"I, Yoshimitsu,
Stand for the ideals of good!
I am on your side!

If you must assist,
Then take this sword and stand by,
To take off my head!"

And promptly, Yoshimitsu impales himself with his sword.

"SEPPUKU"

Shots burst out from the the M2HB side turret thunderously as the now exposed gunner bears down upon Yoshimitsu with hundreds of .50 calibur rounds in the span of less than a minute. If it were possibe to hear over the incredibly loud firing, one might hear a voice emerging from below... <"Stop wasting rounds, damn it! It doesn't take that many rounds to put down a god damned elephant!">. ... But the gunner keeps firing, between the roar of the machine gun and the sound deafening head protection he's now wearing it's damn near impossible to hear. ... <"STOP WASTING ROUNDS, GOD DAMNIT! GET IT IN HERE!>, the commander begins tugging violently at the pant sleeves of the soldier manning the turret, causing him to stop firing suddenly and look down. "What??" ... <"GET. IN. HERE. THOSE GOD DAMN ROUNDS ARE EXPENSIVE, DIPSHIT! YOU MUST HAVE KILLED IT BY NOW!!!">

...All of this commotion manages to distract the gunner enough that he ceases firing and leans down just in time for Razor's bullet to bounce off the open armored hatch. By sheer, dumb luck, the commander manages to see Yoshimitsu mounting the turret even though the gunner does not. <"!!! Get the hell in here NOW!"> ... And grabs the gunner and yanks him off of the ladder right as Yoshimitsu decides to impale himself. Such was the pair of heroes luck today...

The hatch is then slammed shut from within... and sits there... not moving for at least a few moments as the crew attempts to situate themselves again.

Those foot soldiers, meanwhile, while scuffed up as hell and somewhat battered... unlike their unconscious commander... are still very much alive. And for Razor to be ignoring them is probably a mistake. Mere moments safter Razor fires at the tank gunner, the group of three men that are left rush him down and attempt to tackle him to the ground together. If they can manage, they'll then proceed to beat him savagely with every ounce of strength that have!

Razor has just finished emptying the clip when suddenly the wakizashi is tossed toward him. He quickly drops the firearm in order to catch the short sword by the hilt between his palms, his teeth clenching in abrupt shock as the weapon nearly manages to cut him. What is it with people thinking he uses blades these days? Something about his name?

"Wait, what?!"

Not entirely sure how to react to Yoshimitsu's declaration, Razor just kind of stands there a bit dumbfounded, till the sound of footsteps behind him draws his attention. As one of the soldiers makes a grab for him, he spins and attempts to smash an elbow into their face, but in doing so only leaves himself open for one of the other soldiers to take him down. As he hits the ground he steels himself for the beating, shuddering as the soldiers lay into him with blow after blow.

"Ninja man!... You dead?!" he calls out between coughs, as he tries to fend off his assailants.

(Ugh....) is Munins only thought, as she regains consciousness. The last thing she recalls was managing to catch that shell. Judging by her position, she guesses the impact caused enough of a concussion to put her out, with a slight delay.

Eyeing the scene, she shakes her head on seeing Yoshimitsu with his sword in his stomach. She remembers THAT move. She pulls herself to her feet, dust and dirt falling from her form, the caught shell still clutched in her left hand. As she slowly approaches the soldiers still remaining and their armored vehicle, her resume their bright glow, and that black smoke begins to drift off her gloves.

An evil smile crosses her face as she imagines all the things she would like to do to them.....

In the background of this battle, the deafening explosion of bombs being dropped suddenly thunders out of nowhere. There is a firing of heavy artillery following it in the background that seems like a whisper in comparison. ...And yet, still, these fighters find themslves almost completely alone. Any fighting that may be going on elsewhere, while distracting, is of no threat to them.

The soldier attmpting to tackle Razor from the left side is indeed nailed by his defensive elbow and sent sprawling away. The other two, however, manage to take him down toward the ground and pound into him hard with fists, knees, and legs in no particular order. Several good, hard, strikes by each soldier comes... and then they suddenly let up. The thundering of bombs in the background manages to startle the pair enough that they pause and stare off into the distance.

The last two conscious soldiers then look at one another, and then at the woman whom they thought dead earlier. The woman is who has suddenly risen and is now glowing and looking at them as if she might kill them. In they state they were in...

...between her and the bombs, they decide to high-tail it out of there, and RUN as hard as their legs will carry them away from the direction of the city. Possibly in the direction of a known encampment or... just simply to get the hell out before bombs start coming down here.

The loud, repetitive, roaring of the tank's engines goes on perpetually as the tank stalls in the middle of that dusty plain. <"COMMAND!"> ... <"What's your status, Black Tail?"> ... <"Where is our assistance? Over."> ... <"Recon reports that you are not in dire need of assistance."> ... <"We have a mechanical monstrosity on our hull, and another inhuman nearby who has access to our soldier's equipment! Our guard may have already lost a man, and we're about to lose the entire lot of them."> ... <"Never mind, we just lost them! FUCK."> ... <"...Please hold..."> ... <"GOD DAMN IT!">

...And sudddenly the tank becomes animated again. Whatever becomes of the Ninja riding on top after it begins rolling again is unknown, but the tank's focus suddenly shifts back toward the oncoming Munin. <"Run her over!"> ... And no sooner does the tank come alive again does it begin to roll forward toward Munin... at the yawn inducing speed of roughly three miles an hour...

As soon as the men who took Razor down decide to make a tactical retreat, the straight edge street fighter starts to slowly pick himself up off of his feet. Turning and squinting as he spies the purple-eyed woman and the vehicle bearing down on her, he blinks a little bit, thinking that she seems perhaps a bit familiar. There's no time for greetings, though, as it looks like the driver of the tank means serious business.

"Watch out!"

Razor quickly grabs one of the downed soldiers' grenades and rushes the tank, clambering up the side and trying to reach the gunner's hatch. Maybe they forgot to seal it behind them? He'll at least make an attempt at wrenching it open and tossing the grenade inside after pulling the pin, but it's definitely a gamble whether he'll even be able to make it up there... let alone avoiding blowing himself up in the process.

Unfortunately for Munin, her inner ear is still a bit wonky, so she doesn't try to dodge, instead reaching down and grabbing a grenade off a corpse of a dead soldier. She analyzes her options, and braces herself!

While it numbs the impact, it DOES still hurt, as she holds herself up with the edge of the vehicle. Taking advantage of this, she manuevers around and promptly climbs up the side of the tank! Once on top, she positions herself over the same opening Razor just tossed his grenade into, pulls the pin, and drops it in, before turning to face away from the opening, and covering her ears as she waits for the boom. She DOES keep her eyes on the opening from the side, however, just in case someone climbs up or tosses it back out.

The Shadaloo soldiers inside, meanwhile, are hopelessly unaware of the dangerous predicament enabled by their forgetting to lock the overhead hatch. They're far too focused on what they're doing inside, which includes driving... arguing... and in the case of the gunnner: fanning himself feverishly with his service cap. "We're not going to run her over at this speed!" ... "This thing doesn't change gears that fast, sir." ... "Then someone shoot her!"

Suddenly light fills the inside of the tank, and the idle gunner glances upwards just in time to see Razor poke his head. A clinking follows, as his grenade hits the floor of the tank.

"SHIT! GRENAAAAAADEEEE! RUN!!!"

Then another clinking shortly after as Munin hurls another into the tank even as the Shadaloo troops scramble up the ladder in an attempt to get away from the grenade.

Shortly after... a DEAFENING boom follows from inside the tank, blowing out the delicate circuitry inside and effectively shutting the tank down for good. ... But not before it begins to burst into flames!!

The Shadaloo thugs? ... Two of them are now and the other two were blown right out of the tank onto the ground... somehow miraculously surving. If cut up from shrapnel and bleeding. The pair slowl pick themselves up off the ground, two men clad in black service uniform. "YOU FOOLS!" One of them shouts. If anyone had been able to hear the chatter inside, and that's a big if, the tall red-haired men with brown eyes is the leader. He has the decorations for it too... his are much more prominent than the man beside him. "YOU'RE GOING TO DIE FOR THAT!"

...And less than a moment or so after he's promised to kill them, both men produced pistols from their side holsters. "YOU FIRST....!"

Razor breathes the faintest sigh of relief when the hatch proves unlatched. After depositing the grenade down the hole, he rolls onto his back then starts to try and push himself shakily to his feet. When Munin appears next to him with a second explosive, his eyebrows both rise a bit.

"Munin? Is that y-"

Then suddenly the blast from the first grenade rocks the tank, causing it to lurch to a halt, and Razor is forced to latch onto an extrusion to keep from getting blown clear. It takes a few moments for him to regain his balance, and when he does, the pair of tank crew members are already taking aim at him.

"Really? You're going to try and stop me with bullets? I just killed a goddamn ta-"

And then suddenly another explosion rocks the tank and sends him flying in the direction of the two officers.

"SHIIIIIT!"

As he sees them coming up at him, he manages to wrench himself into a spin before swinging his leg out toward the heads of the two Shadaloo crew.

To Razors question, Munin nods "In the flesh!". She smirks darkly as the men are sent flying, and their choice of words....

"We'll see who dies today.....".

Of course, she has OTHER ideas. His markings identify him as the leader, so of course that means he must be taken captive. His coworker, however, is not required....

With a leap, she lands on the ground from the tank, and with another blur of movement, sends a palm strike aimed at the second-in-commands neck!

The captain would, at this point, say "Of course I am going to try and shoot you with bullets! WHAT THE HELL ELSE CAN I DO?! YOU BROKE OUR GOD DAMN TANK!" and throw his hat to the ground. But he only gets so far as to sneer, and remove his presently burning service cap, before a second deafening explosion rocks the tank... causing both men to recoil in fear. Bits of metal and wiring fly everywhere as scarlet flames rise ever higher from the defeated tank's hull, even as Razor hurtles through the air toward the recoiling captain and kicks him to the dirt.

A groan is emitted by the wounded service man, his once neat and orderly red mane now as disheveled and filthy as it can possibly be. Just like the rest of him. "...Ugh..."

Possibly the worst part of all for the two idiots is... they really don't get paid enough to put up with this shit. Clambering to his feet again momentarily, the commander growls ferally. The only other surviving Shadaloo soldier, who was in the tank anyway, is just standing there with his gun trained on Razor despite the futilety of the threat. ... He's also unceremoniously knocked to the ground just like his commander was moments prior. His neck snaps violently to the side as Munin's strike hits with lethal effectiveness. ... He does not get up, however, indicating that he is either unconsciousn or really and truly dead.

...His commander doesnt even bother to look. He doesn't give a rats ass right now. He addresses Razor immediately, is voice positively dripping with venom, "...And what are you going to do, boy? Have you even thought that through? Are you going to take me to jail?? HAHAHA. Lord Vega runs this whole damn area and if you've got even a lick of sense you won't take me there. ... So what authorities are you going to take me to?" He motions over as planes fly by... "The United States military? They dont give a shit right now, and good luck even getting close."

Atthis point, they could probably well knock this guy out. But to where will they take him...? A good question indeed...

Having picked himself up to his feet as the commander was doing the same, Razor rolls his shoulders, the cuts along his back and arms burning, though the pain dulls as adrenaline kicks in.

"Arrest you?"

He slowly stalks toward the commander, his hands slowly balling as his expression becomes a dark glare.

"Who said anything about arresting you?"

Then suddenly he lunges toward the Shadaloo officer, intent on grabbing him by the uniform, before forcing him down. Should he succeed, he'll attempt to a ram a knee hard into the commander's face, again and again, before throwing him over a shoulder and down to the ground beneath them. His intent isn't to kill, but he doesn't intend any mercy either.

For her part, breaking the mans neck was Munins intention. He's shadaloo, and more than likely a fanatic. After seeing how their soldiers acted in the last War, she is taking no chances. He IS down, though, so if he IS alive, he's lucky she is content with that much and isn't looking to finish the job.

Regardless, she makes her way to where Razor is dealing with the leader, hoping he doesn't kill the man....

At least, not YET.

She walks towards the pair, watching carefully in case something last-minute is pulled...... "Don't kill him. We should take him with us and try to find Haggar. He may find this guy useful for something.....".

Vega says, "@emit ... Well, the Shadaloo commander wasn't expecting the boy to respond like that! Most people would just turn tail and run when faced with the threat of Vega. Compounding that very problem is the predicament of being hard pressed to find anybody to turn him into in this situation. But, clearly, Razor is not most people. Considering he seems to follow the line of thinking 'If it won't work, beat it violently' he'd ironically fit in better with Shadaloo than he might know...

...This is something the commander himself might have said under different circumstances. But as Razor stalks toward him with that 'violent rage' in his eyes... the red-haired man in black uniform backs up several steps... before he's seized by the inform. His eyes then go wide as Razor forces him to the ground and beats the living daylights out of his face with those vicious knees! One after another e breaks the man's nose, busts his lip, and cracks his skull with the force of his blows.

... Well, the Shadaloo commander wasn't expecting the boy to respond like that! Most people would just turn tail and run when faced with the threat of Vega. Compounding that very problem is the predicament of being hard pressed to find anybody to turn him into in this situation. But, clearly, Razor is not most people. Considering he seems to follow the line of thinking 'If it won't work, beat it violently' he'd ironically fit in better with Shadaloo than he might know...

...This is something the commander himself might have said under different circumstances. But as Razor stalks toward him with that 'violent rage' in his eyes... the red-haired man in black uniform backs up several steps... before he's seized by the inform. His eyes then go wide as Razor forces him to the ground and beats the living daylights out of his face with those vicious knees!
