Testing, Testing, One, Two, Oh crap. (Open)

[Darkrider]

With a few more taps on the keyboard, and the closing of eyes, Gordon Freeman in network of abandoned mining tunnels, before a newly created monster, the headcrab. Thousands of basic human npcs were guniea pigs in the ensuing test.

AI seems to be functioning normally, population cap is...

He glanced over some files to discover that the limit was well over several hundred thousand. Thinking fast, he quickly changed it to a more testing appropriate 300, but he knew that those things that, and he would have to stop the impending infestation.

Promptly, several humans, now controlled by the headcrabs poured out from tunnels all over, and the ones that haven't attached yet could break out to several other reigons if not stopped.

Hand's gripped a shotgun, and blasts blew away body parts. He had to back out from the sheer numbers, and knew that he needed some backup, fast.

(I've deleted all the posts. You guys get to start over. Darkrider, at the most, the Gravity Gun can only take grenades and thrown weapons from others, unless its the Dark Energy Gravity Gun. Furthermore, the Gravity Gun hasn't even been accepted yet. Darklighter, what you were doing is a different kind of godmoding, controlling the outcome to let no one else decide anything differently.

Don't let this happen again. If it comes to blows, I'm closing the thread.)

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Rain crawled through the tunnels, Five seveN drawn, ready for whatever was coming out of the tunnels. He hag never seen anything like the small, crab-like creatures, but was still happy that they didn't attack him. After a few minutes of pulling himself through the disgusting fluid in the tunnels, he entered a large cavern, filled with zombies and the crabs. Slowly, he sifted through the masses of infected, watching as they simply passed him by. Still alive... Oh believe me I am still alive... Rain found a small clear patch with an orange clad man firing madly into the crowd. Several pieces of shot tore through his ribcage, almost knocking him over. Still Alive... Rain collapsed, landing in the dirt with a soft thud. Slowly, vision left him, only to be replaced by the pain of the wounds. He fire a few random shots at the man in orange. Now, he could just barely see the man. Rain pushed himself several feet with his legs, trying to escape the overpowering weapons fire. Suddenly, a tremendous amount of gunfire rained over the cavern. Streaks of dark energy clouded the air, and a man, dressed in grey camouflage started to drag him. "Rain you slick son of a bitch, you've gotta tell me how you made it out of the Core... Sturm said you were dead."

Meanwhile

Darklighter tracked the disturbance, intuition guiding him. He fired several shots with the Operator, annihilating several small creatures. He pulled himself along in the cave, sliding along on his stomach. Finally, he reached the main cavern, watching as a man with a large bow walked through a mob of zombies. Another man, this one dressed in orange, opened fire on the man with the bow, injuring him. The injured man fired off several shots, and then stopped moving. Darklighter grabbed his sniper rifle, and fired twenty of his large fifty caliber rounds at the orange man. Darklighter then cloaked, ran forward, and silently shot at the zombies. He grabbed the injured archer, and dragged him back to a small ledge, and proceeded to try healing him.

(OOC: Sorry for the wait...)

[Darkrider]

"Whoops!" Freeman exclaimed, as one of his shotgun rounds injured other people that had just entered the vicinity.

"I thought it was called the ABANDONED Mines..." Freeman thought. Obviously, there were people who were in here, and things could get out of hand. A large round severely injured his body, as he briefly saw a man with a sniper rifle aiming at him. He moved into the crowed of zombies so that they would take the brunt of the assault, and tried to explain things.

"It wasn't my intention to hurt the man! If you can take him and yourselves out of this for the moment, things will be fine!"

"This complicates things" Freeman thought. Firing random rounds would cause collateral damage. His tactical options grew slim.

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Darklighter cloaked, and then drifted through the sea of zombies. He extended his arm blades and unsheathed his Ka-Bar. He started to track to human, following him using his intuition. Hm... Darklighter shifted his appearance to look like Solid Snake, a staff character.

"WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CRIMES YOU JUST COMMITED?" Darklighter flinched as he heard his new voice. he sheathed his knives and unholstered his .45, and approached the man in orange.

[Rising Dragon]

(OOC: The Freeman's been accepted, so the show may now go on!)

[Darkrider]

Judging by his position, the man must've moved through, but when he came out, it was another man entirely? Was the sniper in disquise? Or was the disquise?

The flinch did not go unnoticed, so he knew it was the former. He calmly blasted a few zombies behind him, and again used them as a shield from the weapon drawn at him.

"Your actions are extremely illogical, considering the fact that there is much more to be done here before you should turn your weapons against me. Killing me and exposing what I've done here won't change anything, it won't help the fight, of what's been put in motion. Crimes have nothing to do with this, just attempts at enhancing this game experience for players. Of course, it went awry, but that can and will be changed. We can settle this later, but in the meantime..."

Freeman casually dropped a grenade, and the sprinted past several more zombies until an explosion rocked the caves.

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

The air in the mine felt thick, and suffocating. Darklighter breathed in deeply before starting his rant.

"DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM? I am Kite McKnightes, Staff officer of the law. And you are in violation of so many laws, regulations... Freeman, you are going to lose your staff position for this one. I even heard that Gahm might ban your profile. It is illogical for you to continue this. Hand over your weapons, come with me, and the staff will detonate the mine, killing all of these things. I don't want to hurt you, but I swear to God I will. Now come on."

Darklighter prepared for combat, looking at the Gunblade in his hand. The disguise had changed his Ka-Bar in to an un-enchanted gunblade. He hoped that Rain would wake up soon and help him out in the oncoming battle.

[Darkrider]

"Or the sniper I faced earlier, with a disquise," Freeman stated matter-of-factly. "Kite McKnights is one who's spirit is now broken, he would not care what I would do. Additionally, can you name at least one regulation, with full reference, of a crime that I have commited? How is it illogical to continue something like this? It adds yet another exiting element for gamers to enjoy with, provided that we solve this...setback. To detonate such a large complex would result in an entire decimation of landmass, and a signifigant loss to players and staff alike. Do you honestly think you could hurt me? You are at a disadvantage, trying to face two foes like this, when really there is only one. Am I such a threat to you? Is my gun pointed to you? I shouldn't comply with such an impersonator. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some population control I need to attend to. Point your gun towards a more immediate threat, like the zombies around us."

Freeman promptly brought his SMG to bear to the zombies around Darklighter and Rain, all the while positioning himself to hinder Darklighter's attempts at killing him.

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

Darklighter sighed, and shifted back to his real for. "All right, you've caught me. And, now you have a MUCH bigger problem on your hands, Gordon Freeman, age 27, real name Evan Simpson, Staff member, and much more. Would you like to know I am? I am Darklighter, the King of Shadows, the Reaper of The Order of the Silver Star. I have defied the staff time and time again. And you brutally wounded my oldest officer and best friend. Even though Rain won't admit right now, he knows. Now, you really should lay down your guns. I have you out gunned, little gamma. You know nothing of power. You just tinker with your computer while I build all of the real technology, I made all of the true advancements. You are nothing!" Darklighter spat out the words with a bitter hate. He fired his rifle from the hip, shooting the large anti-material rounds at Freeman. Darklighter then slung his rifle around his shoulder, and Darklighter crouched down, focusing all of his energy at Freeman. He lunged forward, into the Assassin's Flight. His armblades extended as he sailed through the air, turning and moving like a fighter jet. In a matter of seconds, he was less than a foot away from Freeman, still air born, arms coming down with an insane force. The shock wave hit, two-thousand pounds of sheer force slamming into the ground. It shook everything in a twenty foot radius, knocking down rocks and obliterating zombies.

"I am the Reaper. I am the end of all things. And your time is up, Gordon Freeman. You have made an enemy for life. You sold your soul to me the minute you joined the staff. And now, I come to take what it mine.'

(Darkrider, do not try to claim godmoding here, for I just used an Alpha technique.)

[Darkrider]

"And yet you show your biggest weakness to me already. It's just a pity that deciphering it was that easy. A guild means nothing. Guns mean nothing. The mind vanquishes the sword."

More of the zombies that Freeman used to cover fell to Darklighter's rounds. He saw him lunge forward. He turned around, and sprinted at enhanced speeds, just as the shockwave hit, causing the cave to collapse, with Freeman seemingly trapped in the cave. He promptly started for a search for another way out. Meanwhile, the zombies at the other end of the cave in had only two targets now...

(Typo, Darklighter. What it yours?)

[Sir Lighter of Elsewhere]

(OOC: I see no typo...)

Darklighter smirked as he stood up, energy drained. "You think that I am done, little man? Oh, I am no where near done." And with that, Darklighter disappeared turning invisible, and sinking back into the hoard of zombies. Darklighter took some of the C4 he had taken from the TOSS armory, and planted it in a circle around the cave. He then retreated to a the far corner of the cave, where he hit the detonator, blowing hundreds zombies away. Darklighter then started to stalk Freeman, waiting in the shadows, out of sight and away from the eyes of everybody. He remained motionless, scythe in hand, ready to Reap.

Meanwhile

Rain, still hazy from the gunshots, managed to crawl to his feet. He drew a perfectly made, wooden arrow from his quiver, and pulled the string of his bow all the way back. From his vantage point, he could see the man in orange perfectly, with no zombies blocking his line of sight. Keeping the recurve bow steady, he released the arrow. The wooden shaft sailed through the air silently, fly toward the man in orange. Rain had aimed just behind Freeman when Darklighter lunged, anticipating Freeman's evasion. The arrow flew quickly, right in front of the moving target.

"Staff Bastard... Darklighter will get you... And my arrows will rain down like God's Holy light upon your measly, worthless body... I'm so sorry it had to end this way."

Rain drew another arrow, and fired. He put all of his energy into firing arrow after arrow at Freeman, all ways aiming in the direction Freeman was going. Dozens of arrows clouded the air as they sailed toward their one target.

[Darkrider]

(OOC: I said that we were separated from a wall in my previous post, so...)

"More seismic activity," Freeman thought to himself. "Looks like Mr. Sniper is running out of options..."

He walked calmly, and then leaped last second when he saw the arrow. Seeing the cloud of them, he launched a grenade from his SMG into the cloud, to try and disperse as many as he could, leaping out of the way again as he did so, and also making cover fire to supress the bowman.
