Koala Cabin, Night: Fighty

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

In the cabins, the peaceful cabins, the future's last best hope for mankind lay in his bed.

Somehow, amidst his two cabinmates sawing sequoias like it's an event sponsered by Skil, John slept. And he dreamed...

The end of the month's bonfire was soon approaching, and no one had scoped out teh best spot on the beach to have it. So, as these things happen, everyone was on the beach looking for the primo bonfire location (in accordance with proper safety laws and Fandom game/wildlife policies, of course) to have a bitchin' all-night party.

And so, John was walking the beach, with some of the crazy people he'd met this year. Pippi. Pip. Maia, walking with some slender brown-haired gal that JOhn had met once. Marty and Angela, who looked so familiar, down at the other end of the beach. Bel. And there, approaching from the other side, was Syd.

All in all, it was a peaceful day, tending towards twilight as the day ended.

Except that Maia and her friend were pointing at something in the water, and freaking out.

John stared out at the water, reflecting the light across the calm waters.

Hullo, wazzat?

"Hey, Pippi? Gotcher spyglass? There's something in the water."

Pippi piped up with something Pippi-esque and was peering through the spyglass in a pip. "It's a ship."

"What kinda ship?"

"I dunno, kinda piratey?"

That's not good. "One of yours?" Both Pip and Pippi shook their heads.

As if to affirm, a rather large ball of metal came hurtling towards them, as if the boat people wanted to jumpstart a bowling league. With people.

"INCOMING!" John hit the sand, crawling behind a fallen tree. Pip and Pippi had taken position behind a small rock cluster, and various other people had taken cover. "Bel!" he shouted, "go get Marty! And tell him to come armed!" John hoped the teleporting demon could hear him. And that he would agree that firepower = teh good.

The boat launched another salvo. Cannonballs rip through the air. Dragon balls rip through another 2545 episodes of powering up. The ship was visible now, almost at the beach.

John stared in horror at the pirates. Fitted with eyepatches, peg legs, and hook hands, they were all Skynet Robots. T800. T1000.

John was tossed back onto the beach from his kneeling position, never hearing the cannonball that hit him.

He looked down at his side. In place of unbroken skin was the sharp pieces of a broken metal skeleton and leaking hydraulic fluid. He screamed.

He looked up, and one was right in front of him.

((First part locked to cabinmates only))

John screamed.

Fight!

John hit the floor with a thump.

Phoebe heard the scream and then the thump. She felt fear coming from somewhere and she lifted her head, looking for her boyfriend.

"Cole?"

Re: Fight!

[demonbelthazor]

"I heard it," Cole said, bounding out of bed. Wearing only his pajama bottoms, he ran over to the other side of the cabin to see what the hell was going on.

Re: Fight!

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sat up and pulled one of Cole's t-shirts over her pajama top and stood up. The T-shit was big on her, so that was good.

"Who screamed?"

Re: Fight!

JOhn was tangled in his bedsheets, and not fully awake. In the dim light of the cabin, he could see a man-like shape approaching him. Without a thought, John did a diving tackle at the figure.

Re: Fight!

[demonbelthazor]

Bel saw John leap at him and tried to brace himself. The force of the attack knocked him to the floor. "What's your problem, man?" he growled, struggling with John.

"Pheebs? Are you guys okay?" Lana sounded worried.

Re: Fight!

[sensethevisions]

"I'm okay Lana," she reassured her friend. "It wasn't me."

Re: Fight!

Lana climbed out of bed in her tank top and shorts set and peeked around the corner of her room area. "What's going on?"

Bel has just invented Connor!Ball. Scoring and gameplay is still uncertain, but it involves John being projectiled down the right thread hallway.

"WHOA!" Maia shouted trying to move out of the way of the fast moving Connor!Ball. She grabbed a curtain for one of the alcoves and nearly tore it as she moved.

Lana nearly tripped over Maia, but managed to make her way to the other side of the hallway, with John on one side and Bel on the other. She plastered herself against the wall, trying to stay out of the way.

Civilians. "Get back!" John started coming to his senses. Maia? And one of the gals from the cabin? What are they doing here? "Keep away from it! You don't know what it's capable of!"

Ultimate DBZ fighty/brawl post

Where Koala A and Koala B collide and the weak are killed and eaten, like in Detroit.

John looked at the hulking mass of red and black skin covering the chromed metal skeleton, chips and hydraulics whirring away inside. He saw the bodies of his cabinmates lying on the floor, and his eyes narrowed.

He dropped into a lowered fighting stance, bringing his battered arms up in position.

"Looks like they fucked up the paint job at the factory, Cybint. I'm gonna make you wish you never were programmed."

One last moment to mutter something about wishing Bel was there, and John rushed the figure, aiming for elbow and knee joints.

Re: Ultimate DBZ fighty/brawl post

[demonbelthazor]

"Back the fuck down," Bel growled, fire starting to spark in his hand again. "Or I will fry your ass."

Re: Ultimate DBZ fighty/brawl post

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shook her head. She had to stop John before he pushed Cole any further. She could feel Cole's rage at Lana's and Maia's injuries as if it was her own. If she didn't act now, John would force Cole to do something they all would regret --- and would tear Cole apart when he found out that it hadn't been something John would willingly have done.

She watched John carefully. She had sparred with him. She had talked with him and offered him her help.

Now, she had to act without asking for his permission. She tried to make the pain in her head fade a little so she could move. Taking a deep breath, she launched herself at John, intending to tackle him away from Cole.

Cole would never let the fireball fly if he thought she might accidentally get hit.

John would never intentionally hurt anyone... would never hurt her if she could force him to see it was her and not whatever he was seeing in his mind...

...she hoped.

John gets tackled before he can connect with the robot, and goes down hard. So far, he's really getting the shitty end of this fight.

But at least he's alive, and he's planning on staying that way.

He scrambles out from under Pheobe and recognizes her. "Pheebs! Shit. Stay behind me. Find Bel! Goddammit, why isn't he here?!" He steps between the cyborg and Pheobe, arms pained but not done fighting.

Closing time,
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from,
Closing time,
This post won’t be open 'cept for certain characters and their muns...

Re: Aftermath

Anakin? Had had a very, very long week.

This was not improved by waking up in the middle of the night by the unmistakable feel of violence in the camp.

He raced from Flamingo and slammed the door to the Koala cabin open.

"Give me one reason why everyone in this cabin shouldn't end up in detention," he said, glaring.

Re: Aftermath

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was not having a good night and an angry Anakin busting into the cabin didn't make the pain in her head from the emotions in the cabin any better.

She dropped to a bed and shook her head carefully, then looked at him.

"Because you're fair and have a sense of justice," she said in a quiet voice. "You won't put anyone in detention who doesn't honestly deserve it and you want to know what happened and why more than you want to just punish someone?"

Phoebe was rubbing her head and then looked over to where Lana and Maia were.

"He didn't see us." She tried to explain as she got up and went to her friends.

Re: Aftermath

[demonbelthazor]

"He started it," Bel said sullenly, pointing to John's unconscious body. "Ask him what his deal is. He attacked me and the girls."

Re: Aftermath

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"He's unconscious," Anakin said, stating the obvious. "I'm guessing he didn't start out that way. Until he wakes up, why don't you explain what happened?"
