the ASS KICKING battle meme

[allurious]

{ the ass-kicking battle meme }
because, let's face it-- it's what most of our characters do as their 9 to 5.

rules:

• post with your character's name & series in the title. any preferences or notes to other players go here too.
• tag around using the RNG, or feel free to make up your own scenario if you already have an ass-kicking prompt in mind.
• kick ass and take names.

{ i. PRE-ASS-KICKING. }

1. GEAR UP. Can't fight a battle without the proper equipment, right? You're doing whatever you need to protect yourself from the enemy. Charging up mana. Strapping ammo to yourself. All in a day's work.

2. BATTLE ROOM. You can't just storm in there unless you want to get yourself riddled with bullet-holes-- so you've gotta plan how to down the enemy, and fast. Maps, floor plans, elaborate attack strategies.

3. PEP-TALK. All soldiers need it before going into battle. Fighting the end boss? Going up against an old friend? Better raise that morale of that pal of yours. Maybe they're nervous.

4. LAST GOODBYE. You know it's a lost cause. Say what you need to before you head out there.

{ ii. ASS-KICKING TIME. }

5. STAKEOUT. You and your buddy have been waiting for the target to appear for some time, whether you're cramped in a loft with sniper rifles or at a bar undercover with a pistol strapped to your thigh.

6. INFILTRATION. Whether you're navigating your way through hi-tech laser security systems, avoiding trip wires and empty can noise traps or sneaking into the enemy's lair in the dark, you're a pro at infiltration. I hope.

7. UNDER FIRE. From whatever common enemy or beast you pissed off, they're after you, teeth flashing or guns blazing. Better think quick.

8. SUDDENLY, UNARMED. Whatever weapon you use has been deactivated, knocked out of reach or broken. Ensue amazing karate skills.

9. MAN DOWN. You've been downed in battle by whatever you're fighting. Let's hope you're just unconscious and that your comrades are gonna avenge you.

{ iii. POST-ASS-KICKING. }

10. CELEBRATE. The boss is dead, the world is saved. Pop open that bottle of bubbly, will you?

11. HEAL UP. Whatever you fought is dead, but it sure did tear you a new one before it went down. Time for some first aid.

12. REFLECT. What's changed, now that the battle is over? Is the battle ever really over?

13. MOURN. You lost some good guys back there-- nothing's going to change that. You better come to terms with it before it consumes you.

[It's probably a good thing that SHIELD assassins are trained in more than just artillery combat, right? Because while Clint may be able to run around and collect his used-up-arrows, Nat can't go plucking bullets out of her hapless victims.

But then, finding Nat, gunless and beating the living crap out of one or six grunts down in the lower levels wasn't that surprising, was it Clint?]

[ so this whole stakeout thing is taking too long if the way dean shifts about in his place is anything to go by. the warehouse is a massive thing crawling with demons, and despite how dean wants to just burst in through the front doors, guns blazing and ready for action, the fact that the entire thing is warded against angels would leave him without the one backup he has; cas.

still. it does nothing for his mood, even if they're being safe about this. ]

I thought you said they'd be out by now. What's the freakin' hold up? [ a look is tossed the angel's way as he turns back to where they're hiding; one of the many crates surrounding the warehouse. ]

'Cause I don't know about you, man, but I definitely had better plans for tonight. [ and none of it involved this kinda crap. ]

[standsentinel]

The Presidium may have been long restored, Zakera Ward a thriving hub of commerce and obnoxious tailored advertisements, but it seems like whatever Byzantine-meets-asari bureaucracy that dispenses repair funds always seems to turn up just a little too late on Tayseri Ward and the scars of the Geth War are still fresh.

It's not the tangled, broken metal and concrete and bodies of a more terrestrial battlefield. It's not even the sudden broken atmosphere systems and a one step trip to oblivion of a smaller space station. No, there is power and heat and air throughout, and the station's massive mass effect generators have the gravity at the same strength as anywhere. Keepers have cleared away the broken pieces.

No, Tayseri Ward is not a jagged horror. Tayseri ward is quiet, dim, and still largely uninhabited. It's a good place for ghosts, and an even better one for quiet meetings. It's best of all as a destination for those who don't want to be found, and it's the fact that one of those souls has been bringing back unwilling and short-lived company to join the missing with them that has won the ward a pair of silent watchers today.

C-Sec doesn't have the manpower to put in a traditional sweep, door by door and floor by floor, in such an empty space. Bailey, however, happens to know quite a few people and has earned quite a few favours. Major Alenko, stopping through between assignments, has been tapped to go take a look and has settled into a blind alley for a last minute bit of strategy discussion.

[ neil could swear that at least 80% of the time he was even in the cockpit of dynames, it was spent motionless and waiting. always with the waiting.

allelujah and himself had been sent on surprise flanking duty & currently both of their units were floating on the dark side of the moon, having been that way for what felt like hours. probably had been hours. what an irishman would do for a toilet break and a beer right now, well. all the poetry aside, lockon was beginning to wonder if the target was ever going to show up at all-- and if it did, whether or not it would happen before his entire lower torso cramped permanently into the dynames cockpit position.

letting out a laboured sigh over their shared frequency, neil found himself praying for a firefight. ]

Hey. What do you say we start a sing-a-long?

[ '99 bottles of beer on the wall' and 'it's a small world' were vetoed, of course. ]

thinking something s6 era and then anna SUDDENLY SHOWS UP NOT DEAD? let me know if this works.

[freewill]

[Ever since Lucifer and Michael were banished into the pit, ever since Raphael took over Heaven by force, ever since Castiel decided it was his responsibility to stop the Apocalypse from happening a second time, it's been a string of unending battles. Each time that he pauses to regroup, or flaps his way down to the Winchesters for a breath of fresh air away from the fighting, something else happens.

And while the angels on his side are hard to teach when it comes to the idea of free will, they are all soldiers by nature. As he is; as they were all designed to be. Fighting is in their very essence, and so none of them complain as the battles rage on and their numbers continue to fall.

Or at least, they don't complain around him. Somehow he's become their general, and Castiel's still uncertain of how well he fits the job. But they've stayed loyal to his cause so far, and that's all he can ask for.

As the next stream of Raphael's forces push forward (these are his brothers and sisters; he can never forget that), Castiel races to the front of the pack, still ready to swing his blade where he must.

But then one of Raphael's top lieutenants, Aaetpio, does something unexpected, something that turns the tide of the battle in a split second. There's a bright flash of light and then Castiel's blade flies out of his grasp, disappearing to who-knows-where. As he evades the subsequent attack, Castiel looks around frantically for it, but he can't even manifest it into his hand again.

If Aaetpio does that with their entire squadron, then retreat will be the only option. Castiel continues to dart out of the way of Aaetpio's blade, trying to piece together how his brother could have pulled off something like that.]
