Riot report/Project Blade File: Invader Dib
 
#8
Invader Dib 06

Blade base Epsilon.
Dib stood in the caverness reactor room, a left over from the bases days as an Arachnos outpost and quite possibly the only part of the base he had used pure Irken tech in, and swore. While he had planed for failure, he hadn't planed for one of such magnitude, he had wasted too much time with Patri-ette and his armor had only just survived the entrance of the other two.
Turning he pulled several cords from his gauntlet and hooked them into the control panel, there was always more than one way to deal with this sort of thing. It would be a shame to destroy the base, but it had served its purpose. It was time to return it to the way he found it, a smoking ruin.
He looked up from entering the codes that would cause the reactor to melt down when he picked up something, a mind full of rage heading right at him. Spinning, he watched as the wall exploded and floating through the smoking hole was Seraph, his armor now a black with crimson edging.
"So, rather than take your daughter" Dib practically spat the word. "You decided to chase after me. And for what reason? Vengeance? Justice?"
Seraph leapt across the room and slugged Dib. "Shut the fuck up you asshole." He growled as he slammed his fist against Dib's face, cracking the armor.
Dib threw a wave of lighting at Seraph and quickly hovered out of striking range. "So, the hero is giving into revenge? Why? It's not like Gir is a real person anyway. She's just some sad little Sexdroid with a faulty personality matrix." Dib could practically feel the anger boiling at that comment.
"Don't you dare call her that!" Seraph bellowed as he blasted Dib, the energy flickered between a pale blue and a horrid rust red.
Dib spun out of the way and zapped Seraph again. "Why shouldn't I? It is the truth, Gir is a joke, something given to an incompetent idiot in the hopes he would get himself killed."
Dib lashed out again, this time with his mind. He plunged into Seraphs head, tasting his rage... and something else. "Ahhh, now I understand. It's fear that drives you, fear that this happily little life you've built yourself will be torn apart, fear that you will end up all alone."
"Get out of my head freak." Seraph growled as he let loose a torrent of energy.
Dib ducked under it and let loose with a psionic blast that bounced Seraph of the nearest wall. "Why fight for it? If you want a Saber to look after so badly, just get another one. It's not like their rare or anything."
"What would something like you know about Family?"
Dib snorted. "Family? What use is it? They do nothing but hold you back, drag you down." A small nimbus of lighting formed around Dib's hand. "Distractions... nothing more." Dib lashed out, knocking Seraph to the ground.
"I think this has dragged on long enough." Dib landed and walked towards Seraph, a constant stream of electricity pouring from his hand. "Now, it is time to die."
Blue lightning arced across Seraphs body causing him to writhe in pain, Dib stopping his onslaught every now and again to mentally pick up Seraph and slam him against the floor.
Seraph tried to drag himself to his feet, but Dib blasted him again, sending Seraph sliding to the edge of the platform. Calmly Dib walked up to the edge and kicked Seraph over. He watched Seraph tumble as he vanish in to the gloom. "Now... where was I?" he muttered as he walked back to the console.

Laz blitzed down the corridor towards the sound of combat, it seamed to take forever to get back from what was probably the sewers, she rounded a corner and found herself in a large room, Tish and Patti facing off against several massive monsters.
With out even pausing, she launch herself into the back of the nearest one, tendrils of dark energy erupting from beneath it and pining it in place as she tore it back to shreds.
As it fell forward she leaped over its body and landed next to Patti. "So, you ditched me to play with the big boys?" she joked while dodging a clumsy swing from one of the beasts.
Patti grabbed one of the beasts by the arm and threw against the wall. "Laz, you help Tish, I'm getting Gir." she muttered, only now did Laz notice how pale she was.
"Kay, grab Gir, I'll cover you."
Patti nodded and hover out of the fight as Laz tackled one of the beasts, looking around she could just make out Tish blurring around, her imp's clambering all over the place, she noticed that Seraph wasn't present.
"Hey! Where's Dad?" she called.
Tish rolled out of the way of one beast and caused flames to leap up around it's feet. "Chasing the big bad." She called, quickly jumping to another target.
Laz turned her attention back to the beast, and hoped he was okay.
***
Seraph slowly came to, his fall into the darkness had been interrupted by a pipe, then the few pipes below then eventually a walkway. He rolled on to his side and winced as he quickly made a mental checklist of his injuries. He was suffering some electrical burns, god knew how many minor cuts and what felt like some cracked ribs. it was a minor miracle he was able to move.
He traced a sigle on his arm and let out a slight sigh as ice started to form across his body, healing up the worst of his wounds. Not waiting for it to finish, he cast a flight spell and started hovering up, he still had to deal with Dib.
Seraph could feel the anger starting to boil in him, he would grab Dib, make him pay for hurting his family, Kill... He paused and clamped down on his rage. No, charging in blindly had nearly got him killed, it was time to try something different. Carefully, he pulled out a tarot card and grinned, a plan forming in his head.
***
Dib input the last code and hit enter, it was done. In twenty minutes the reactor would unleash an intense burst of heat that would vaporise everything organic in the base, then its core would detonate, destroying what the heat wave didn't, effectively gutting the base and leaving no trace he was there.
He typed in the command and dropped the jamming signal, then broadcast to all the reaming Blades and Golems to evacuate the base. A side effect of dropping the jamming would mean that some of the heroes would escape, but it was an acceptable loss.
He turned and was about to make his way towards one of the escape tunnels when a blast of blue energy slammed into him, smashing him against the wall. He quickly got to his feet and ducked as another blast tore up the ground where he had been lying.
Dib's hands glowed as he prepared to attack back. "It seams you just don't know when to give up, do you?" He growled.
His only reply was a quick succession of Blast that tore into the floor, tearing up great hunks of metal. Dib sending a blast of lightning in the general direction, only to have the return volley come form directly above.
He reached out with his mind and tried to pinpoint Seraph's location, he picked up a slight flicker before a blast hit him from behind. Dib swore and spun, just as Seraph rocketed by, pausing only long enough to punch him in the face. There was a sickening crunch as Dib's visor shattered and he felt his nose break.
He pulled his helmet off and threw it to one side, just in time for Seraph to blast him again. "Damn it, Stay still!" he yelled and threw out wave after wave of lightning.
One blast clipped Seraph and set him tumbling, as Dib ran over to deal another blow, Seraph quickly got to his feet and weaved a pattern with his hands. A small blizzard surrounded Dib, slowing his movement and impeding his vision. Dib tried to fight against it, but it was no good, his armor was getting sluggish, restricting his movement.
He lashed again with his mind and managed to knock Seraph back, a card dropping from his hand. As the card fell, Dib noticed Seraph had slowed down slightly. Of course, he's using some sort of talisman to boost himself. He struggled to walk forward, trying to get in range to try and blast Seraph's mind directly.
He struggled to see Seraph thought the mini blizzard, it was almost like walking through syrup. "Oi! Over here." Seraphs voice came from behind him. Dib tried to spin to face him, facing him just in time to see Seraph charge him, knocking them both over the ledge.
As the fell the fight devolved into a brutal slugfest, each one trying to get the upper hand, trying not to be the one that hit the ground first. Dib let out a yelp of pain as they slammed into some piping, before slamming down into the pool of coolant that surrounded the reactor.
***
Laz watched as the last of the beast fled, limping away at full speed. Turning she saw that Patti had managed to pull Gir free of the computers and was clutching on to her for dear life.
"Okay, we got Gir, Patti and Tish, you head out, I'm gonna look for dad." Laz turned and went to leave when she felt someone grab her wrist. Turing she saw Tish give her a disapproving look.
"We have to get Gir out... and Patti's in no shape to carry her alone Laz." Tish said. "Let me go, I'm faster and I can probably pull him out of what ever screw up he's goten into, okay."
Laz reluctantly nodded. "Okay... good luck."
Tish grinned and gave the girls a quick speed boost before zipping down the tunnel Seraph had taken. Laz stepped up to Patti. "Come on, let's go." They slung Gir between them and started for what they though was the exit.
***
Seraph gasped for air as he dragged himself from the coolant pool, his body aching from a combination of cold and the impact, even though it looked like Dib had hit first, it had still felt slamming into a brick wall. As he rolled onto his side, he looked around, seeing if Dib had surfaced.
He spotted Dib and winced, he had hit the pool... or at least his legs did, his upper body had hit the edge and cracked his armor open like an egg. Seraph dragged himself over to have a closer look, inside the armor was a much smaller man, his chest had been torn open revealing metal ribs over what looked like synthetic organs, every now and again there was faint movement, suggesting Dib was still alive.
"So... that's why you were so hard to stop, your a bloody cyborg." Seraph muttered.
"Indeed... Seraph." Dib rasped as he turned slightly to face him. "So... now you have defeated me... you plan to kill me?"
Seraph looked down, it would be all too easy, the anger that fueled him earlier started to stir. "No Dib... I won't kill you." he replied as his armor dissipated, leaving him in his badly torn up civvies. "I'm gona drag you back to Paragon. I am gona make you pay for your crimes. You are gona rot in the deepest part of the Zig."
Dib snorted. "And this... is the problem with heroes." He raised his hand weakly and pointed it at Seraph. "You don't... do what is needed."
Before Seraph could question what Dib meant, there was a horrid meaty thunk and a sharp pain in his side. He looked see a bloody sliver of metal was now jutting out of Dib's chest, looking down at himself, Seraph could see blood forming from where the spine had passed through his side.
"What the?" he asked, looking at Dib.
Dib let out a sicking rattle, black blood bubbling from his mouth. "My masters... in Arachnos would never let me live... not after a failure like this..." he reached up with his hand and grabbed the spine, twisting it in the wound. "And this way... I can take you... with me." He wrenched the spine out, blood spraying up from the wound.
He watched as the life drained from Dib. "Bloody cop out." He muttered and kicked the body in disgust, it slipped into the pool and quickly vanished from sight. He tired to get to his feet but slumped down, blood flowing freely from his injury.
Seraph grabbed his mediport from his pocket as swore as he pulled out a pile of broken plastic and wiring, it must of took a hit in the fight. "Great... what else can go wrong?" He muttered, and regretted it immediately as a voice boomed over the base's PA system.
"Self distruct in T minuses three minutes and counting."
".... I should of seen that coming." he muttered as he started dragging himself across the floor, trying to find a way out when to his surprise his com squawked. He pulled it from his belt and called into it. "hello, hello, anyone there?"
There was a burst of static and Seraph heard a voice. "Yo, this is Tish, can you hear me Seraph?"
"Yeah, what happened is Gir okay?"
"She's okay, Laz and Patti are getting her out and what ever was blocking us turned tail, how you holden up?"
"Well, Dib's dead and I'm bleeding out and the base is going to explode, so I'm just peachy."
He could practically hear Tish's represed giggle over the com. "Come on, you'r not that bad."
"Blood loss making me a bit..." Seraph trailed off a moment and blinked, everything was starting to swim. "Woozy... don't think I can get out under my own steam."
Seraph slumped down, his strength leavening him. As his eyes drooped, he was dully aware of Tish's voice over the com before he felt the pull of a teleport.
***
When he came too he saw Tish and a longbow medic leaning over him. He was apparently outside, he tried to sit up but Tish pushed him back down. "Whoa there cowboy, you ain't in any shape to be moving." she said with a slight smile. "But ya did good, even if ya ran off by ya self ya big idiot."
"Is Gir okay?" Seraph muttered, trying to look around.
"Yeah, she's already on her way back to Paragon, Patti's practically glued to her. so, how's it feel to be the big damn hero?"
"Like I was hit by a Mack truck and need a week of bed rest."
Tish smirked. "I think you earned it." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Come on, let's go."
Seraph felt a lurch as he was lifted off the ground and carried off, a medic leaned over and injected some pain killers into him, he'd done it, been that big damn hero, but now, the hero needed some rest. He grinned as he drifted off, yeah, rest would be good
