The Last Time I take Orders from Sprite

by Honey Badger

Scarlet Sprite communicates to me that she's got a hitchhiker on board her hover car named Gloria. She's a LFER supporter, but without any kind of powers or equipment. Great, I thought, a
groeperig
- hopefully she won't be too much of a liability. I glared at the two IERA agents, one of them with an electrowand and the other with a blaster. I remembered how devastating those wands could be, so I went after the electrowand agent first. I charged forward and ran him through with my questionite claws, and the dwaas found out that human flesh and body arm were of no match for weapons that could cut through titanium. I hit with him such force that he even fell backwards, and I yelled "Remember Clarksville" as I dropped him- or was it her or something else? Whatever- that was one less IERA agent to worry about.
 
The blaster was furious. He confirmed that the agent was male, referring to the fallen one as "like a brother to me." He tried berating me as an animal, savage , monster, mutant, and terrorist. Nothing that I hadn't heard before, but his audacity made me retort that it was "your faction that killed my father [and] darken cities!" The varke opened fire on me and scored a lucky shot, entangling me with energy bonds. Meanwhile, the Level 37 operatives inflicted devastation upon the other IERA and the darkening generators. Switchblade destroyed one of the latter, while Maven transformed into some kind of sludge and attacked the blaster going against me. She let out an inhuman screech as she shredded him to pieces.
 
Sprite proceeded to smash through one of the darkening machines with her stolen hovercar- shattering it to pieces. Glad to see that she could operate one of those as well as her boney. I asked Sprite over the comms what do to do next as it looked like the machines were all destroyed. That was when she ordered me to turn on Level 37, which I obliged, broke free of my bonds, and slashed at Maven. The blesmol had a thick hide, feeling pain but without any bleeding as I didn't put the full force of my claws into the blows. At least they made her let out a wounded screech.
 
As they say in my country, Voël verander van kleur maar nie van veer: a leopard doesn't change it spots. Level 37 expected the betrayal, being the paranoid and ruthless bastards they were. Ignis unleashed an inferno upon the hovercar, nearly killing Gloria and stunning Sprite. Luckily, I got the opportunity to stab Maven a few times, making her bleed- but not enough to incapacitate her. She hissed, tearing and rending into me with her claws as Switchblade attacked me for a double-team. I survived their double-team combination, but was left bleeding and panting furious from the force of their blows.
 
Luckily, I had an unexpected guardian angel of sorts. The poltergeest returned to strike at the Level 37 agents and distracted them. As expected, Scarlet Sprite retreated in terror- that klein katjie realized she had made a disastrous call. Then the flying IERA operative showed up, the swaeltjie, and swiped at Switchblade\draadtrekker and made him wince a little bit. This gave me an opening to counterstrike at Maven/teef, but it wasn't enough to drop her. Then Switchblade grabbed me while his partner engulfed me. As they did so, I feared that I was doomed. My adrenaline surged as I pushed to break free, and thanks to the Cyberline treatments I not only broke from Maven but also from Switchblade. This left me exhausted and with a headache. I muttered to myself: "dit is die laaste keer dat ek bestellings van Sprite!" (this is the last time I take orders from Sprite).

Enemies from Another Dimension

After the mission to Clarksville, my team and I returned to New York City. Hopefully Perry and his people can get the information they want from the survivors. At least we won a propaganda victory against the IERA [i]moefoks[/i]- I hear "Remember Clarks...

Success in the Sewers

After the last mission's debacle, we had to lay low for a little but got a new recruit on the team: Siren. Siren is an aquatic mutant with sonic-powers, so he's been useful in a city of islands and rivers. He's no Timber, Commandant, Nightwing or Back...

Grimoires and Golems

Less than a full day later, my cell got a message from Perry: apparently the previous mission wasn't a failure. "Doc"/"Rollie" ended up being an impostor, so the GENO drugs were still in play. The Commandant returned to us but had little answers to my q...

10:12 pm - 29.12.2023

Learning and Failing at Teamwork

So the mission starts off with Perry giving us orders to obtain some experimental energy traps from an IERA facility at the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. He gave the courtesy of giving us containment units for these traps, which seem to be leaking energy...

Attack of the Killer Frogs

Me, Nightwing, and Timber made our way down through the bunker till we came to a set of doors. I easily tore through them with my claws, only to receive a hail of bullets from the rogue LFER's commander. Thankfully most of his shots missed or I dodged; ...

Barfight!

Dr. Moses and I made our way to New York City. It was an amazing city! Far larger than Jo'burg, Pretoria or Cape Town! Well, as they say- everything is bigger in America. However, it was not the city of lights I remembered watching on television as a y...
