(Here we go! ^^ I'm honestly getting pretty hyped for this :D)
As the chaos raged around him, Boa curled further into himself, trying to ignore the horror of the other injured or un-battle fit around him. He heard shouting from the soldiers protecting him and the other injured, and suddenly their circle was broken, though Boa couldn't tell by what. All he knew is there was fire, screaming, and someone tripping over him, kicking him hard enough to knock him flat. Finally spurred into action he staggered to his feet, the world spinning violently around him. Though he tried to escape the madness, he was too slow and unsteady, knocked down again as someone careened into him in a panic.
At least this time he fell into a narrow gully, landing face-first into the shallow stream that trickled along the small channel. He forced himself to roll over, but made no further move to get away. Even in his confused state, he knew enough to recognize this as likely the safest place on the battle field. If he were to survive at all, his best chance was to stay here.
(:D same!)
Alix continued to look around as the rest of the team wreaked havoc. This was the warfare that the rebellion used. Guerilla tactics, get in and get out. No direct confrontation. Had his team directly confronted this group, the outcome would be much, much different. He looked up when he saw someone moving in the corner of his eye, heading into the nearby gully. He followed, creeping over and peering down into the gully, at the small stream of wwater that made its way down, and at the man huddled at the bottom of it.
Boa heard pebbles shift at the top of the gully and raised his head, looking up at the man standing there, someone definitely NOT part of the army. Even with his vision less than focused and with the man seeming to be doubled he could tell that.
"Don't kill me!" he gasped, holding up a hand as if to keep the man away. "I surrender, just don't hurt me, please!"
Alix looked at the other man, frowning faintly, then jumped down into the gully and grabbing his arm. "Come with me." he said, hauling the other to his feet and looking at him through narrowed eyes. "Please don't make me drag you; I don't really have the upper body strength for that, and it would be difficult for both of us."
Boa stumbled up, losing his balance and accidentally falling into the other man. "I can't walk," he said, the words rushed and jumbled. "It's too…I'm too dizzy."
He cringed away, expecting some frustrated retribution. "I'm sorry."
Alix sighed faintly. "I really don't want to drag you. I don't have the strength for that." he repeated. "Can you lean on me, perhaps, and walk that way?" he questioned, raising his eyebrows a little as he looked at Boa. "We have limited time, and if I cannot bring you with me I will be forced to shoot you."
Boa paled slightly. "No, no, that's fine, I think I can walk, as long as you're holding onto me."
He definitely didn't want to get shot. He knew he did have the strength to fight back, and honestly, he was just desperate to get away from this battlefield. He didn't know who was dead, who was alive, but he didn't really want to know. Taking a shaky step forward, he was vastly relieved when he didn't immediately fall on his face.
Alix nodded a little, wrapping an arm over Boa's shoulders to support him, and started walking. "Come along, then. We have limited time before everything gets blown to shit or burned." he said, navigating towards where the rest of the team was waiting.
Boa kept up as best he could, managing to keep his feet underneath him and not stumble too badly. To his massive relief, the dizziness was slowly starting to fade. Each step became more sure than the last, and he began to wonder if he could risk an escape. Right now it was just the two of them. He could probably throw off his captor and make a run for it.
Of course, a glance back at camp put a bit of a damper on those thoughts. The entire thing was on fire, bodies littered everywhere, screams…
Looking ahead again, he pushed any thoughts of rebelling to the side. To do so now would just be suicide.
"What do you want with me?" he asked uncertainly. If the answer was information, he wasn't going to wait until the pulled out the torture devices to tell them what they wanted to know.
"I don't know yet. That's up to Stef, not me." Alix replied, still pulling Boa along as he made his way back to the rest of the group. "Probably information. Hope you aren't too attached to your body parts." he gave Boa a toothy smile as he led him around the fires, wincing a little when he heard another bomb go off.
(Hey! I don't know if you're at all interested in continuing our two rps, and I totally get it if not, I really vanished there. A lot of personal stuff happened I can pm you about as I want to keep it just between me and friends. Some really bad things went down and I just was off the internet for quite a while. But if you want to, I'm trying to come back to Notebook just a little bit, and I would be so down to arry on there two rps, they were always my favorites out of the ones I had going.
Up to you tho!)
(hey, welcome back! I missed you! I'd be down to continuing our two RPs! And while I would like to know what happened, you don't have to tell me anything you don't feel comfortable telling me, I totally understand either way :))
(Yay!!! I'm super excited to pick these up again!! :D Let me re-read a little bit to remember where we were, and I'll get replies up for both of them :) Also, could you give me a tag in our other one? I'm having a heck of a time finding it)
(Also, could you bump the other rp? I cannot find it TwT)
"Stef…" Boa muttered, dazed by how quickly he'd been captured. This was not good. No two ways about it. "Look, I'll tell you whatever you want, okay? I don't want to cause trouble."
This wasn't entirely true, and he knew there were certain things he could not tell these people without breaking his agreement to the Agaea. As much as he hated them and this whole stupid war, he couldn't betray his word to them. He did owe them his life, after all.
(skdhdhbss I,,,, cannot remember what RP it was lmaoo do you remember what it was about? i have a Bad memory and it's been a whole)
Alix only hummed. "I'm sure you will, lovely, but don't start talking right now." He replied, still leading Boa along. "You got a name I can use?" He steered clear of the circles again, glancing over at where Robin was still wreaking destruction almost singlehanded, though they were assisted by Lea chucking small bombs into the centers of the circles. Hekian and Tyr were crouched close together in a shielded area, both typing away as they worked on other things. Stef, meanwhile, stood and watched and fought, her long hair bound back in a high, tight bun. Nothing for enemy combatants to grab or pull on. Alix tugged Boa back towards Stef, Hekian, and Tyr.
( Honestly I may have made up that we had a second one? lol I would be down to start another one if you want, but I may have just imagined there was one haha)
"Boa," he said, not caring if the man knew his name or not. "Who are you?" He stared firmly ahead, trying not to look at the destruction reigning over what had once been his squad. His heart beat faster at just the thought of re-witnessing anything like that. he tried instead to see where they were going, but found it hard to focus on too much of anything. He knew Talli was dead. While he wasn't sad…he still felt something. Mainly fear. What would happen without the protection of the Agaean army. Would they come get him? He doubted it. He was just one soldier, they didn't care.
(skfnkdhsb we have proven this statement to be false, I think lmao)
"Alix." the other replied, finally making it to the other three. "Stef, I got the prisoner you wanted." he called out to the woman. She glanced over, gaze flickering over Boa and Alix for a moment.
"Good. Put him in one of the shields so he doesn't get killed." she said, before whirling back to the fight at hand.
Alix nodded, pushing Boa down to sit on the ground. He didn't push hard, or rough, just insistent, needing the other to sit down. He pulled a small generator from his pocket, and set it in front of Boa, pressing a few buttons. "Don't leave the shield." he instructed, as it activated. "It'll keep you safe."
(Haha happily!! :D)
Boa obeyed silently, traying to figure out of he could escape before shit hit the fan. He wasn't a huge fan of being tortured, and the thought of reliving anything like that was horrifying to him. He looked around the area, trying to get a count of how many people were here and if he could take them. He was a good fighter. If he felt the odds were at all tipped in his favor, he was going for it.
I just want to go home, he thought to himself, a sentiment he thought nearly every day. But that was impossible, and he wasn't going to just lay down and quit because of it. My mom didn't raise me to be a wet towel.
He kept a close eye on Alix, trying to decide if he could maybe tackle the other and use him as a shield against his friends. Maybe. If he took him by surprise… He unconsciously tensed, preparing for an action he wasn't sure he would even attempt.
Alix pulled a firelighter from his pocket. It was specially designed to throw balls of fire, so that he didn't have to be close in order to light something on fire. A grin flashed over his face, and he fired the lighter at anything flammable he saw, new fires springing up all over the place as a result of his actions. He kept an eye on Boa and on his teammates; Robin and Lea were nearly done in their destruction, and the team would be leaving again soon. Probably. They didn't get generally stick around for long.
Boa flinched at the fires, quickly backpedaling on his original plan. If he tried anything now, he would probably just end up setting both of them on fire. Instead, he settled back, burying his face in his knees and trying to block out the screaming. If he was lucky it would all be over soon, and he would be able to…
What? Escape? To where? this was a dead planet, and no one would check in on his squad for another month. Could he even survive that long? He doubted it. So he would have to stay with these people. It was his only option, not that he liked it any better. Maybe, possibly, there would be some sort of rescue mission. But likely not. He closed his eyes, just waiting for it to be over.
(so, Alix and the rest of the Tirä squad bring Boa back to their leaders, yeah? I don't remember exactly what we had in mind tbh)
The Tirä squad worked well with minimal communications; made it easier to skip about undercover, when you weren't radioing. Radio waves could be tracked, and if you didn't need them, it was much harder to find you. As it was, Robin and Lea were on their way back, much of the enemy destroyed, either dead, dying, or injured. None remained standing in any significant way.
