Into the Black, Part IIIc: Team Alpha

"Stick close," Zed mutters, as he leads the way down the hallway.

"No damn cover here at all," he continues. "Asses hanging right out in the open."

You better believe he'll remember this moment at renovation time.

Suzi...still hasn't remembered her shield. But she's REALLY GOOD at hiding behind Richard. Really, really good at it.

She's not screaming. But she REALLY WANTS TO BE.

"Suzi!" Ray calls. "Your shield! Turn on your shield!"

He's not even looking when the first alien fires. But, you know, the weapon the ugly's carrying? Might as well be a blaster. And what, exactly, does the training drone fire? Blaster bolts. The alien's not nearly as fast as the drone. As soon as the sound is in the air the 'saber is up and the first round of fire gets parried. By the time Ray realizes what he's just done there's more incoming fire, of course- but he's never had to make the parrying count more, so he's not going to bother thinking about it. He's just gonna throw himself into the fray full-bore.

Peter was right there as well, covering for others as much as he can. Trying to avoid the blasts.

And take down the sons of bitches anyway he can.

He yelled at them, or toward the oil really, "Remember me? It's Dr. Venkman. That's right. You're going down."

Bill starts firing when the others do, stepping up to get closer to Suzi incase anything gets past Ryan. Although the guy really looks like he knows what he's doing so there shouldn't be too much worry for that.

"Suzi, these shield things work pretty great. I already been shot a few times by that robot thing out in the hall an ain't got no holes to show for it." She looks really, really scared. If here weren't busy shooting at ugly aliens he'd reach down and give her a hug or something.

The good news: Ryan's Deatomizer blast, richocheted blasts off Ray's lightsaber, Peter's proton stream, and Bill's pulse blasts take down the aliens within seconds.

The bad news: There are now three entities of Black Oil rising up from their steaming corpses.

Might be time to make a break for that door over there.

Venkman gets a disdainfully raised brow as Ryan fires at the aliens. Civilians. The other brow goes up at the emerging Black Oil.

Hmm. That's interesting. Time to move.

"Suzi," Ryan says, keeping his voice calm and nodding a thanks to Pardy. "Once your shield is on, start moving towards the door. I'll keep you covered until you're through."

He's still firing at the masses of Oil, but he's already edging sideways. He'll be right behind her.

"Yes, Richard." Her voice wavers and she can't control it. She's heading back for the door at speed. Not anywhere near top speed, but she's certainly not walking.

"See you on the other side, Peter," says Ray. He wastes no further time- he just bolts.

Re: Shooting gallery

"Oh hell, that's not good." He keeps shooting at the Oil, not sure of the good it's doing, and moves towards the door, hanging back just a bit to make sure everyone gets past the creepy black stuff.

"Everybody go! I'll take care of this!"

Krycek's standing his ground and watch watching the Oil figures approach with the tiiiiniest of smirks on his face. Revenge is going to be sweet.

Oracle has only been keeping half an eye on the battle, she's been staying near Zed and trying to keep him updated on the progress of the other teams while keeping the other teams up to date on everyone else's progress.

"Team Delta looks to have things under control, they should be moving on momentarily. Something is approaching Team Omega's position, I don't have a good visual of it yet."

Re: Shooting gallery

Peter gave Ray a cursory nod and grin before he continued firing. PKE was up around him, and doing a few more blasts with the thrower for good measure. Soften them up some.

He then slowly back up with some more fire, and there was brief glance at Krycek before he followed the group.

Re: Shooting gallery

[livewithrats.livejournal.com]

As soon as the group was gone and Krycek was sure they were safe, he turned to face the Oil figures with determination and revenge in his eyes.

"Come get me."

And like moths to the flame, they go --

-- and Krycek fires. Multiple shots, all searing straight through the Oil, turning them to puddles on the floor.

But one's still moving!

... well, was still moving.
