I have returned.

Leo: Wh . . . what?

Nukes can't move me as much.

Nevada_Man: Its a f**king nuke

I'm good.

Zachary: He's got a point, how the hell can you survive a damn nuke

How can I float around in space for half a year with no food or water?

Nevada_Man: Because your creator had a front lobotomy

(actually a full lobotomy, common mistake.)

Nevada_Man: Even I can be more reasonable and realistic ( most of the time )

(dh.)

huh

Octoling: You, remember who saved you, right Leo?

Leo: Uhmmm

(Think back to when Lyric was in Splatoon, then think of the remaster.)

uhhhhhhhhh

Leo: Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Octoling: Remember the first thing you heard after you were saved by someone before a merc could kill you?

Leo: Oh yeaaaaaa

Octoling: Then please, repeat it and figure out what is going on.

Leo: Ahem

An Armored Truck would pull up, someone would run out of the truck

Phil: What the hell were you doing!

Octoling: Oh look, a clue.
*I arrive slowly.*
okay, holy shit, I had just realized just how many mercs that were sent out here, but I think I got them all...

Leo: Wrong, 7 more coming. 7 SUVs full of them. I know because I know
Lyric: Why the HELL did you not tell us, we need to leave!

I just got here Lyric!
*I look at the Octoling and its as if I instantly recognized him.*
Octoling: Maybe he knows who I am...

Phil: Lets the hell out of here!

Alright, you guys go, I'll distract them, I'm their priority target, so they'll throw everything at me first.

Phil: I'll stay as well, I got a machine gun

No, that's not smart, you should go as well, I can't risk anything anymore...

Are the mercs a terrorist organization? ))

Phil:: Don't care

(They're slowly moving to a terrorist Dynasty.)
*Suddenly, three Mercs Black Duke O' Deaths jump the raised bridge and land on the road perfectly. The cars are heavily armored against FMJ and antimalarial rounds.*
F**k.

I'll get the DRC on it ))

The cars are blown to bits by 2 missiles, a Desert Apache was seen flying over them

*more come across the bridge, one of them having the speed to smack the Desert Apache out of the sky with the cartoonic slap sound effect playing on contact.*

Phil: You got to be f**king kidding me *takes out RPG and fires*'

Nick: [R] Need some help boys?

*It seems oddly suspicious.*

Leo: Hmm . . . . I'll be right back

*The cruisers are fleeing.*

Leo: *Gets in Ford Crown Vic and follows after them*

*A mercenary corpse is lying in the street.*

Leo: Damn

*And there was another.*

Leo: Holy . . .

*Suddenly, a mercenary is flung from somewhere and dies upon hitting the concrete.*

Leo: HOLY

(idea less.)

h

(anyways, let's keep the story going.)

wait, aren't u the guy with green username

(Why yes, I am.)

Noted

(go on).

no you

(You do it.)

*The Duke O' Death tanks the hit and directly rams Phil's truck, another Duke O' Death tries ramming me, but I jump on the roof and I relentlessly fire at the roof, barely scraping the armor on it.*

5 more Apaches arrive, firing missiles at the vehicles, Phil runs inside

Nick: [R] God I hate these pricks, hey . . . octoling, help me help you.

*No response as more and more keep showing up, and mercenary Arieal support arrive in Ospreys, Apaches, and Mavricks.*

Phil: Holy f**k, who the hell are these guys!

[ MILITARY SUPPORT INBOUND ]

They're pains in the ass is what they are.
*Ground troops start showing up, the drawbridge is now stuck being up, so sniper mercs are starting to fire from there.*

The bridge is blown to bits by a AC-130

Josh: [R] LETS GET THESE MOTHER F**KERS

*Then the Duke O' Deaths start coming in from literally every angle, and the Apaches start firing at the AC-130.*

The AC-130 starts firing flares. A car gets UO out of there during the chaos unnoticed

(Hey, shut up, we don't know if its UO, besides, I'm the green name.)
*An apache kamikazes at the AC-130, hitting the far-left turbine.*

F-22s, M1 Abrams, Vipers, and Cobras join the battle

185: oh, well, I'm still here...

Josh[R]: ahem

185: oh, sorry Josh, how are ya?

Josh: [R] Killin terrorists

185: don't worry, the boys are back.

Nick: [R] We got a problem

185: what?

Nick: [R] We got an enemy AC-130

185: they're not gonna get far.

Nick: [R] I forgot to say a HIGHLY modified and armored enemy AC-130

Why should I?

Nick: Because I am the one who leads a organization who is fighting the mercs

Who is it you lead?

Nick: Delta Recon Corps

DRC, and why sneak behind me?

Nick: I wasn't sneaking

To me, if I can't hear you approach behind me, that's sneaking.

Nick: You were being mesmerized by an anti air minigun

And why did you think that was needed?

Nick: Mercs have air support

*Eventually, the Duke O' Deaths start doing doughnuts around Phil's truck to smokescreen him from aerial and ground help. This smoke also f**ks with any tech that makes it able to detect anything in the smoke.*

Phil ran away stupid ))

The battle field intensifies

Josh: [R] Notifying the damn president and DOD about this shit

*I get flung into the circle of smoke, when a hail of gunfire starts going into the smoke.*

A EMP Jam explodes through the entire city block, disabling all Merc tech

*The Duke O' Deaths are not effected by the EMP jammer since they're post-apocalyptic cars. But the smoke eventually stops to reveal each car had been shot at through a gap in the window for the driver to see through.*

Nick: [R] . . .

*A few mercs are shot and killed by other mercs, but with shot out flags.*

Josh: [R] Time for the 2nd War on Terror

*These guys don't seem to be firing at anything other than the mercs who don't have shot out flags, and their pretty good at taking out the helicopters. I take the opportunity to fire an M79 thumper grenade from a flare gun at an Osprey and it is a direct hit.*

Surviving Helicopters shoot the rest of the enemy mercs

185: excuse me one second...
*Some time goes by as the Mercenary AC-130 is slowly heard, then a Flak Cannon is heard firing. The plane starts falling out of the sky.*
185: what AC-130?

Nevada_Man: OH, SO WHEN I TA-

[Nevada_Man has disconnected]

Zachary: wha

*185 closes his votecall menu and chuckles to himself.*
185: little taste of your own medicine.

Zachary: I do have to agree with him though

185: hey Zach, oh, FYI: The others went back to their independent homes.

Later

*I'm sneaking around, going through the occasional destroyed van every now and then.*

california dunes moment

you spot a crashed friendly C-130 in the sand

*I go to the crash site.*

There are also half buried humvees and strykers

*UO kills the man, who drops the shotgun on death. UO gets Leo back up.*

Leo: *using a medkit*

*That shotgun glistens in the light.*

Leo: huh

*It appears unique.*

Leo: What is this, fortnite?

(No, Last Day On Earth: Survival.)
*The shotgun appears to have been developed by 'Genesis'.*

Leo: Hmmmmmm

Nevada_Man: Where do you get all your ideas?

(Oh I have my ways...)
UO: That's a mighty fine shotgun, look at this too..
*UO unholsters A desert eagle that looks modified off the corpse.*

Leo: * sigh *

*I dig, and dig, and dig.*

crowbar

Okay...
*I keep digging the Humvee out.*

crowbar x2

Another one?
*I keep digging.*

crowbar x3

God f**kin damn it.

crowbar x4

*I stop digging due to no progress being officially made.*

lol

UO: Yeah, and I finally did what had to be done...

Leo: What?

UO: I finally killed JayDen...

Leo: Who is that?

(Please go back to the Subject #291 RP.)

no

(This is basically required for context.)

Comment on where the info is

Leo: Look, if its about something like more than like 2 months ago, i won't know, JUST TELL ME

UO: It's a long story. Very long.

Leo: Then give me a short story

UO: Best I can sum it down to is JayDen was the reason my closest friend died, and when I came back after death, I lived under the radar, waiting for that day to arrive when I could avenge my friend.

Leo: Ahhhhhhhh

im bored, have something interesting happen

[an hour later.]
*UO leaves the room.*
UO: The CVPA is showing up shortly.

Leo: To my bunker?

UO: No, Kentucky.

Leo: Why?

UO: They won the war in Louisiana, and well, they're gonna clean out every Merc here.

Leo: But we aren't in Kentucky

UO: We aren't? Thought we were...

Leo: We are in Northern Nevada

UO: huh

Leo: Ahem

Like so.
*I hit the Shield merc with a bat, when he turns to face me, I swap to a crowbar and with The curved edge, I get the ballistic shield caught, and I rip the shield away from him.*

The miniguns evaporate the merc

(For context purposes, the gunners are gone.)

why

(Plot convenience.)
*The Shield merc staggers back a bit before flipping down an armored visor. He then grabs A machete from his Leather seath, the machete has a sigil engraved on it. The merc strikes the ground twice and then swings at a conveniently placed pole, destroying it instantly.*
First Encounter Shield Merc: you'll be sliced in half Mask!

h

(Now cue Red Sun on repeat.)
*The first encounter shield merc immediately goes to trying to kill me, I try to block every attack with my sword, but it gets knocked out of my hand and kicked across the street, where it impales A very unfortunate merc.*

a

*The first encounter shield merc then gets to swinging at me, I try to dodge as much as possible, but I get caught on one swing and I try to recover from me stumbling.*

. . .

*I get knocked down by the Merc, but as soon as he gets ready to execute me, a familiar American voice is heard from the rooftops.*

. . .

(come on man, at least have someone reacting to this.)
*The Merc looks up to see a CVPA operative on a rooftop, holding his own machete.*

Josh: [R] holy moly

*It was 185, And he looked sobered up. He dives off the rooftop and lands perfectly. The Merc charges at 185, but 185 is extremely quick to block, duck, and swing.*

interesting

*185 opens a weak spot on the shield Merc, stabs the Merc through the stomach, forces his machete to cut up the Merc's rib cage, then flings the corpse away, but he takes the Merc's machete, so he's now just a war criminal, and a pedophile away from being Sundowner. But he definitely won't become either one.*

h

185: Someone call for a sobered maniac?

Josh: [R] No

*The Dinka Jester ahead speeds up.*

Lyric: *speeds up*

*The Dinka Jester hits the jump and goes flying, the cruiser follows suit, but since it's top-heavy, rolls down the bridge on its side, totalling it.*

Lyric also hits the jump

*The Dinka Jester lands perfectly and drifts to the side.*

Lyric also lands perfectly

*Smoke rises from the tracks the car made.*

Lyric: what

*Then, the car door is heard opening, but the figure was shrouded in colored smoke.*

Leo: What?

Octoling: Yeah, by mercs.

Leo: Are you trying to find a reason to shoot me?

Octoling: Maybe, just state your names.

Lyric: Lyric, known as Eclipse in the street-racing world
Leo: Leo, online alias M@ST3R ( Known as one of the best Hackers to date )

Octoling: I do believe I've definitely heard of a Lyric, not so much a Leo-err, M@ST3R...

Leo: Mhm . . .
Lyric: Really?

Octoling: yeah, didn't you get kidnapped by some mercenaries before?

Lyric: Ehhh . . . no, but my friend Zach did and I had to save his ass

Octoling: Wait, I do actually remember a Leo.

Leo: Hm?

(Anything?)

no, keep it . . . reasonable ))

(New enemy intro.)
*Suddenly, A shotgun blast is heard outside.*

Leo: oh f**k

Leo grabs a nearby M60

*Its a man in reinforced winter clothes holding an odd shotgun.*

Leo: Identify yourself!

*He goes to fire at you.*

Leo fires back

*The man fires at Leo and nearly kills Leo, but UO goes to fight the man.*

Leo: a

UO: these guns are actually very good, I recommend you take them.

Leo: * Takes them *

UO: Don't forget, these have armor pierce rounds.

Leo: ahhhhhhhhhhh

UO: Yeah, these raiders aren't common, but they're worth it all.

Leo: mhm

UO: Okay, I say we rest up for the night.
(Good night.)

( good afternoon )

[18 hours later...]

Leo: *Checking vehicle garage*

Huh?

2 goalkeeper systems

What...?

ahem, 2 C-RAM systems

Oh f**k...

Nick: The second war on terror has begun

*I instinctively swing a crowbar at whoever is behind me *

Nick grabs the crowbar before it hits him

*I proceed to swing another crowbar.

Nick also grabs that one

Nick: Calm down

*hard to see.*

Leo: Who goes there?

??: Just open up Leo, I gotta talk.

Leo: I will only open if you identify who you are.

??: remember when you were captured by those mercs, and you were saved?

Leo: . . . fine, but just know if you try anything sneaky you will be dead.

Leo would open the bunker door

*It's the Octoling, and his car is parked behind him.*
??: thanks

Leo: Do you have anyone with you?

??: no, I tend to travel alone, it's been so long since I lost my old friend...

Leo: What do you need?

*I duck down in an alleyway, where a First-Encounter Shield mercenary.*

a huh

(First Encounter mercs tend to be more aggressive with unique equipment, armor, and attack methods.)

a

(you know what the Shield has?)

a shield

(that, and a pistol, which normal Shield mercs don't get, and the first encounter has a second phase.)

aa

(anyways, que up Red sun but don't play past the No need for a cure part.)

continue

UO: think we should investigate?

Leo: . . . no

UO: Smart.

Leo: . . .

*UO would start typing on his phone.*

Leo: what are you doing

UO: Texting a friend.

Leo: . . .

*UO's phone starts ringing.*
UO: f**k, I gotta take this elsewhere...
*He heads to a secluded room for the call.*

Leo: hmmmmmm

*The First-Encounter Shield mercenary begins swinging his shield at me, hitting and wounding me, he then fires across the alleyway.*

A Humvee with a mounted M2 Browning starts firing at the mercenary

*The shielder merc blocks the rounds with his ballistic shield, negating all bullet damage.*

its a M2 browning

(ballistic shields in the mercenary arsenal is basically a large plate of what they use to make GTA buildings.)

Ahem

A Blackhawk with a M134 Chaingun starts firing

*The shield Merc adjusts himself to block both lines of fire."

Nevada_Man: Now that, is overpowered, the guy is literally being shot by 2 heavy weapons of war and is blocking EVERY shot with a shield, I know I am a bit unrealistic at times but go***MN

He's got a weak spot.

w h e r e

UO: what?

Leo: ahem

UO: seriously, what?

Leo: Nothin

UO: Okay.

Later

[changing to Reddit Cam.]
*I am running through the street with my AR-15 out.*

The war between the U.S. and DRC vs the Mercs has worsened

*Then, a CVPA cruiser rams a mercenary cruiser.*

A U.S. Blackhawk explodes a mercenary crew truck

*Reddit Cam goes in the carrier, and the carrier swerves into the other carrier, destroying both carriers with ease.*

Leo: oo

*There is one more carrier left, and its getting shot at from the car its chasing.*

Leo: . . .

*A mercenary kicks open the back doors and begins firing at Leo's car.*

Leo: *Fires back with a modified M2 Browning*

*The merc is hit and falls out of the cruiser, then gets ran over by Leo's car, killing him instantly.*

Leo: Hehe . . .

*A drawbridge is seen being raised.*

Leo: Oh

Lyric: *Pulls up* This my time to shine

Wish we could, but we run the risk of bombing the innocent.

Josh: Ehh, well cover it up like we always do

Vernon: alright, that's the EXACT same type of shit JcJenson did to Copper-9 when they wanted more money: nitrogen bombing and pinning it on their own creation to boost profits. Lousy PhenoTrans type shit.

Henry (Driver): Just do like an evac before for some phony reason, then carpet bomb

Vernon: We have to be direct with the people, we have to tell them exactly what we're doing.
(Cutting to Leo.)

Leo ( At bunker safehouse ): *Restocking on weaponry *

*A knock is heard at the bunker door.*

Leo: *Checks security cam with M1911 in hand*

*It's hard to see due to something in the dark slightly moving.*

Leo: *Uses night-vision mode*

*The smoke clears to show a 5'7 Octoling in what appears to be a S.W.A.T. uniform, but more geared up.*

Leo: Who the hell

Octoling: are you one of them?

Leo: One of what
Lyric: If he was, he would have shot you in the head

Octoling: Those mercs. Are you one of them or will you be a corpse like them?

Leo: I will be neither.

Octoling: How do I know you're not a merc? You could be lying through a smile and I wouldn't know.

Leo: Think about it, if i was a me-
Lyric: Okay being honest here, you are very skeptical, what is your problem?

Octoling: These mercs, they're cockroaches, sure you kill an entire post of them, but there's always another five more posts, also your uniform looks like one of theirs.

Leo: My black suit? I say it's quite common.

Hold it Phil, I think I know this guy, Vernon Noah, right?

15 helicopters would fly past over them

Vernon: Hell yeah brotha, dap me up bro!
*Me and Vernon proceed to dap each other up.*

Josh arrives in a Humvee

Josh: Hey guys, we got some more mercs coming our way, you guys can talk in the car while we evac you to a secret location
