Re: Episode 1 - 8

(OCC; oops must have missed that post.)

Emilia looked around, "Oh didn't even realise he had gone, to be honest I would rather be here than out there in the open, to be honest if the cops were as gun-ho as they were with us I could see this ending in a firefight, Military have the right to detain us over the police under the pretense of national security so if the general says he's handing us over to the cops then we just claim to be Osama, look I know he's dead but still it would give him the excuse to detain us for forty-eight hours by that time the cops will either have been killed by the Turo.... ubervamps, or we will all be dead, I'm assuming bullets have no affect on vampires?"

Mike speaks up there.

"It's not that they have no effect...they hurt, but a bullet to them is like a paintball gun to you."

Them? Well, he didn't want to reveal what he was on army base territory. It didn't seem prudent.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

Several minutes later, the lieutenant returns.

"I sent the police away and told them you were being held here on suspicion of terrorism.  That one always works these days.  They weren't happy about it.But you will be staying here until I find out what's going on.

He sits behind his desk again.  "Now suppose the four of you tell me exactly what you are doing here in Sunnydale." He looks at Annabelle and Emilia."You young ladies aren't from around here.  I suppose it would be way too simple to say you're foreign exchange students."

Emilia shook her head, "Believe it or not we actually arrived in town independently, now Lieutenant, I'm still a bit skecty on why these others are here but myself I came because of a stupid book... and then a dream afterwards that wouldn't go away, think that's crazy? So do I anyway to get a good nights rest i borrowed some money from daddy and booked my fight over here," She said with a shrug, "Gods honest truth"

Re: Episode 1 - 8

Annabelle looked at Emilia then back to the lieutenant.  Maybe the truth was the best way to approach this.  Or maybe some of the truth.  Emilia's story was tame compared to all she had to tell.

"Well lieutenant, if you know about vampires you shouldn't be to surprised to know there are people who are dedicated to fighting them. They are called vampire slayers.  They are trained by a group called the watcher's council.  I was in training to become a vampire slayer. A lot of slayers in training came here to Sunnydale because there was a coordinated attack to kill us all by this group of............psychotic anarchists who want the vampires to win.

That should do.  She hopes.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

Just then a voice comes over the lieutenant's walkie talkie.

"Sir, that guy who was wearing army green that showed up with that bunch just took off running out the front gate and down the street.  We were about to pursue in the jeep, then the police grabbed him, they were waiting down the road.  What are your orders? Over.

The lieutenant paused for about one second, then; "No let the police have him, he made the wrong move and it will cost him. Stay on guard. Over."

The lieutenant then looked at the four.  "Seems your friend didn't like it here and now the police have him.  Apparently they were waiting outside in case you left the protection of the base. Was he actually in the military? Or was?  Some kind of post combat trauma perhaps?"

Annabelle slams her fist into the table near her.  "Bloody stupid stupid idiot!!!! Hasn't anyone learned not to run off by yourself!!!!!!"

She stands up and storms across the room to slam her fists into the wall, then regains some composure.  "He didn't want to come here in the first place.  He seemed so pulled together until now."

Re: Episode 1 - 8

But once again there is an interruption from the lieutenant's walkie talkie.

"Sir, we have a problem, we have vampires apporaching the front gate.  Looks to be ten of them.  But not like any vampires we've seen before. They look like they're straight out of that old silent vampire movie, you known the one before Dracula. They're marching up slowly on foot. ETA five minutes. Over.

The lieutenant picks up the walkie talkie.  "Prepare to defend the base as per procedure.  I'll be right there. Over." he says standing up as he signs off.

"Looks like I'll get to see these Turok-Hans myself." he says to the foursome.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

"You read my mind son."the lieutenant says to Michael.

"I was just about to ask if these super vampires can be destroyed by fire as the common type can.  You four are to stay here.  Don't leave this room.  I'll be back in twenty minutes, half an hour at most, then you can come see the piles of ash that used to be vampires that we're going to wipe out.  Don't worry about us, we've got this covered."the lieutenant said as he shut the door, leaving the foursome alone.

"Especially since he yelled at me for it." Emilia said then looked around, "Your men will probably not be able to hold off the vampires for long Lieutenant, if you have flamers, or cocktails I recommend deploying them, failing that we get anything with petrol by the entrance ways and use them as a last defence igniting them once the first wave are inside a kill zone, not sure how tracer ammo would affect vampires...." She turned to Annabelle, "Phosphorous fire would it work the same as usual fire?"

Mike...wasn't so sure.

"Do you mind if I join you, Lieutenant? I've been dealing with these things for a while, I might be able to offer you guys a couple of ideas. Admittedly, I mostly poke them with a sharp stick in the heart, but still..."

The lieutenants ponders Mike's request for a moment, then.......

"You and you can come along."he says pointing at Mike and Buffybot.

"But you two are staying right here."he says pointing at Annabelle and Emilia.  "I know for a fact you two are under 18 and I will not put childern's lives in danger.  You two will not leave this room."

He holds the door open for Mike and Buffybot.  "Let's go.  We've got to move fast."

Buffybot nods but doesn't say anything as he lets Mike takes the lead as she falls in right behind the LT. However in her head there were lots of scenerios running in her head.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

"Understood, Lieutenant."

This is a military base, he'd have to follow civilian rules on a military base. Just because he was more then he appeared to be didn't mean he wasn't going to follow the rules. Certain protocols had to be followed in here.

And Mike comes along...

Re: Episode 1 - 8

"Children?!  CHILDREN?!  We are not children!!!  And I'll have you know that............oh, never mind.  We'll wait here."Annabelle says giving the lieutenant her most dutiful ladylike smile.

She had to grudgingly admit staying here was the smartest thing for the two of them.  But still.......children?  Far from it.

"We'll just read.  Emilia, did you bring your book from the car?"she said pointedly in Emilia's direction.  You know,THAT book.

Emilia patted her handbag that contained the large text, "Come now, children isn't the worst thing i've been called. Now given our chances I think we should prepare, shall we see if there is any sort of spell in here for... I don't know a fake sun, teleportation, shields.... anything." She said placing the book on the Lt.s table.

Annabelle pulled up chair next to Emilia.  "Alright, let's start flipping pages and see what we can find.  This may take a while.  These old occult books are horribly overwritten. You're on the right track Emilia.  Watch out for teleportation spells, artificial sun, or perhaps even a giant forcefield counterspell so we can get out of here.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

Moments later, Mike and Buffybot are in the base armory with the lieutenant and some other soldiers.

The lieutenant grabs two flamethrowers and passes one each to Mike and Buffybot.
"Ever see one of these before?  It's a military flamethrower, runs on incendiary gel.  Each one has ten burts before empty.  You point it and pull the trigger. Now listen up.  You two are NOT to engage the enemy or use these flamethrowers except to defend yourselves. Leave it to us, if this goes like we think it will, we'll destroy those vamps quickly.  The flamethrowers are not as easy to use as they may look.  One wrong move and you'll set the base on fire. Now let's get outside and get ready, I'll brief you on the way what the plan is.the lieutenant says as he grabs a flamethrower for himself and heads outside.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

"Understood, sir."

Fire was an equal opportunity killer...it killed men and vampires alike with equal glee. His own problems with fire notwithstanding, he'd probably be better off using the sharp stake in his pocket if the Turok Han managed to actually close with him.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

"If you are looking for extra ammo for your flamethrower, don't bother.  You can't just reload it as simply as a rifle by trading an empty clip for a new one.  Now follow me outside.

The lieutenant leads the duo outside, where the other soldiers are standing several yards from the front gate, ready for action.  "The vampires will come crashing through the gate any minute.  And run right into a patch of gasoline we've sprayed just inside the gate.  There's a single trail leading back to us.  Once they are standing in it, I'm going to light it and watch them go up in flames. The ones that survive that field of fire, will be taken out by us with out flamethrower rifles.  You two are to stand back here and don't engage the enemy unless you need to defend yourself.  Don't get cocky. Just focus on staying alive.

"Let's focus on the problem at hand."Annabelle says to Emilia as she examines the pages in the book. "Look for anything that might be useful in fighting the Turok-Hans,  we'll worry about the forcefield later.Annabelle says continuing to go through the book, but not having much luck.

Re: Episode 1 - 8

The spell Emilia finds is entitled:Dust to Dust.

The spell effect involves getting a group of vampires (up to 10) in a mystic circle (diagram on how to draw circle in the book), you throw some special green sand at them and chant "Dust to Dust" in latin.  All the vampires in the circle turn to dust as if someone just put an invisible stake in their hearts.  Only works on vampires.

Here's the catch; the mystic circle must be drawn on the ground with the blood of a vampire.  But luckily you have an ensouled vampire who may be persuaded to make a donation.  The green sand can be found at most magic shops.

Spell power level: 4

Re: Episode 1 - 8

Outside at the front gate:

A mob of Turok-Hans are charging towards the front gate of the army base. The gate was secured, but it took them all of three seconds to break it down.

There are ten of them.  They move forward, towards the thin pool of gasoline waiting for them.  The soldiers wait on the other side of the pool, waiting to spring the trap and then pick off the survivors.  Mike and Buffybot stand a few feet behind the soldiers, watching all this.

The Turok-Hans approach the pool of gasoline.  Then suddenly they stop. And sniff.

And then five break to the left and five break to the right, circling around the deadly pool and coming towards the soldiers. And Mike and Buffybot. Looks like they somehow figured out the dangers of flammable liquids.  This mission just got harder.

To be continued.
