Age of Steam (Open for all!)

[Gekkey Matthews]

Mason began to lob lit sticks of dynamite into the pileup where the most people were. Gekkey sprinted away from the wreckage and stopped when he reached Mason. "Here, I found this in an officer's cabin after the battle. " He then set a metal flask down on the ground and ran back at the fray. "What the hell?" Mason picked up the flask. It was full of strong Zievian whisky. "Oh yes." He downed a couple drinks, then took out his rifle and started shooting at the conscripts while marching at them, mostly missing.

Anywhere there was a cluster of soldiers or a few robots there was a bolt of electricity and any solider that got close to Felix slumped over on his fist surging with electric magic. he grabbed a czardom solider with one fist dragging him rapidly across the ground and then with the other slammed his fist into his face throwing him the mook to the side he kept moving but keeping his distance as ordered."IT'S CALLED ARTIFICE!!! REMEMBER THAT!" he kept the bolts coming and the punches flying. though underneath his mask a smile came to his lips...it wasn't evil or that of a lunatics...but something felt primal...violent but controlled. all he could think was"someone was a warrior...dad never went to war...must be mom." he kept up the attacks.

[the red soldier]

Czir, Alevandro, Lily, Renia

Czir was giving general orders to the elves, he had more experience when it came to human tactics and the elves knew this. Nonetheless many elves fell as they charged to the train, making Lilly and the Shamans busy. White magic glowing in her hands, Lilly started to help as much as she could. "Come on... you'll make it..." "Try to flank them if possible, don't just charge straight at them!" Czir yelled aloud to the elves as he ducked when some Czardom began shooting. Alevandro sprinted his way towards the train, several elves right behind him, as the Czardom shot at the man to no effect, only making a pinging sound. "It feels like bee stings!" The man screamed as he drew close enough and swinged his claymore, cutting two men in half. The elves behind him started shooting arrows as they overran the wrecked train cart. Renia in the meantime slowly made her way to one of the cart, shooting an arrow with pin point accuracy when a head popped up. "These men are like the rest, nothing but childs forced into war..." She said to herserlf, talking about the conscripts.

Suddenly, one of the carts started moving, then started lifting up as several elites in clockwork armor lifted it and threw it at a group of elves, squishing them. A dozen more showed up behind them as they grouped together. "IN THE NAME OF THE CZARINA YOU WILL ALL DIE THIS DAY!" These werent conscripts, shooting there high powered rifles, the bullets exploded upon impact, taking entire groups of elves in one shot. Armor almost matching Alevandro's, these weren't pushovers.

Aeon's POV
At the sight of the clockwork soldier, Aeon snarled.
"IT'S THEM! I WANT MY REVENGE!"
Aeon jumped back and ran to where Rosa's bike laid and rummaged around one of the packs that carried their possessions.
"Ah here it is. I think this shall do quite nicely. I made this just for this moment."
Aeon ran back to where the men in Clockwork armor stood. He stood on a pile of metal from the train, wielding the Flamethrower he had built earlier.
"HEY, [censored]! REMEMBER ME! YA KNOW, THE GIANT METAL CAT YA FRIED? WELL GUESS WHAT? I WASN'T DEAD! NOW BURNNNNNN!!!"
Aeon lit the pilot light, and pulled the trigger sending a jet of heated napalm towards everything in a 30M range.

[Der Kojote]

Felix nodded "and this is what I've been waiting to use this for..." he took a half step back and slammed his his fists together the power gauges on Felix's armor bottomed out and a massive ball of electricity was created above his head in his hands, he then brought down one hand as the gauges went to 50%, he threw the massive electric ball straight at the Clock work elites. between that the napalm and the massive amount of bullets Felix got a tingle at the base of his skull "why do i get the feeling this won't be enough..."

[the red soldier]

Czir, Alevandro, Lily, Renia

The flame did its job, it burned the red stylish uniforms but didn't do much on the armor itself as Felix's bullets seemed to just bounce off similar to Alevandro's armor. The lightning ball made them jitter a bit as one of them stopped moving but still left some 2 dozen to deal with. The Explosive rounds only proved usefull at making dents into the would be super soldiers armor to boot. "YOU FACE THE BEST OF THE CZARDOM! LITTLE COCKROACH LIKE YOU WILL NOT STOP US!" They suddenly went on a rampage as they seemed to storm through the elves with frightening ease. The arrows simply didn't do anything agaisn't them and whatever magic could be used was useless agaisn't these guys. "Its a Leron knight mixed with modern tech, they'll be hard to take down." Czir said to himself. "Avoid direct confrontation! These guys aren't push overs!" He yelled at the elves who were the most vulnerable at this point.

Lily managed to drag a wounded elf to safety as she began to heal him the best that she could. Looking at the giants in clockwork armor wasn't really inspiring the idea of a victory. Meanwhile, Alevandro managed to slam one of them head on as the two seemed at a stalemate. "Primitive barbarians! Your lands will soon belong to the Czarina!" "Over my rotten corpse!" "I wouldn't have it any other way!" Renia fired off arrows but proved fruitless against the elites. "These creatures are worse then the dark machines..."

[y7h65]

Aeon and Rosa's POV
Aeon's eye twitched as the flame's failed to melt anything important or heat up the inside of the armor to near unbearable heats.
He sighed as he threw the flamethrower into the crowd, whipped out his pistol, and shot the gas tank, spraying napalm everywhere.
"Where's my match....... let's see........."
Aeon quickly produced a matchbook and lit the napalm. The ground immediately caught on fire, and it was still incapable of damaging them.
"Well, I guess I have no choice then."
Aeon dropped on all fours, bit on his pistol, and turned into his true form. He then ate his pistol, and charged the nearest clockwork soldier.
"I hope Rosa's doing better."

Meanwhile, Rosa was quietly advancing to the lead train car. The soldiers in the train car she entered from made the mistake of assuming that she was just a little girl. Her turning her fingers into 40CM long blades and slicing apart the closet soldier that attempted to make a move on her soon changed their opinion of her. Pity they couldn't even get to their weapons in time before she cut through all of them. She made quick work of the next 3 cars of soldiers too. As she was only 3 cars behind the main car now. She quickly shoved the body of the last soldier underneath a bench before she decided to do..... something else instead of killing all of them.
She quietly sat down and her body quickly changed into it's blank liquid metal form. The blank quickly turned into the form of the soldier she just killed, complete in armor and with wounds.
She opened the door and quickly turned around and slammed it shut, and ran to the car next.
"Hey!Open up! Something just came into our car and... and killed everyone! I managed to keep it in there, but I do......... GURK~"
She projected a metal spike slamming into her chest, pinning her to the door of the next train car.
All that was left was to see how they would react.

((As a bit of information for you: White Phosphorous burns at around 2600 degrees Celsius and produces a [censored] of smoke. Steel melts at around 1200, iron at 1500. Napalm burns at 800 - 1200.))

Mason fell over when a round exploded ten feet away. He dragged himself up and loaded his pistol with his last six rockets. He He staggered at the elite soldiers and fired a shot at the one farthest to the right. The rocket flew perfectly and his the target dead on.

[Extorio]

The amount of deaths that were occurring around him seemed to daze Ex, as his demonic instincts began to kick in. He needed to experience carnage, he needed to rip somebody apart, just to satisfy his desires. One of the Czardom conscripts ran at Ex, as he noticed that the demon wasn't really 'there'. This was his mistake. Ex drew his sword, smashed the hilt into the soldiers stomach and then span around dramatically, cutting the man's head from his shoulders. He then evaluated the battlefield and saw Lily dragging an elf to safety. Ex rushed over, cutting through a few conscripts on his way. The blood splatter, and wind knocked his hood off, showing a blood stained face, with blood red eyes.
"Lily!" He called as he finally made it to her, "You don't need to see war. You don't need to lose your innocence. If the Czardom make it past the line of elves, you have to run away, understand?"

[the red soldier]

Czir, Lily, Alevandro, Renia, Baron Dokarov

The battle rages on as the clockwork soldiers seemed to be the only ones left at this point. Czir continued to advise the elves on what to do as the rubble of trains began to rumble, no one paying much attention to it though. Lily in the meantime seemed to frown on Ex's advice but understood that she would be kinda useless on the battlefield. "I understand your concern but I wont abandon anyone for my own life."

Alevandro was still struggling with the leader of the clockwork men as he started to buckle, as strong as he was, his armor didn't grant him enhanced strengh. Doing the best thing he could think of, Alevandro threw himself on his back, bringing the clockwork guy with him as he flipped him over. Once Alevandro got up, he realised that the clockwork guy had trouble getting up, similar to a turtle on his back. "DAMN YOU COWARD AND YOUR CHEAP TRICKS!" He was getting up though, all be it slowly, as Alevandro smacked his claymore repeatedly on his vizor. "FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE DO THE SMART THING AND STAY DOWN!"

Renia though, felt some shaking again, towards the rubble of trains. "It feels like something is trying to climb its way out..." She wasn't far off though when The giant trainbot started to climb its way out, an angry voice coming from it. "I AM BARON DOKAROV! I'VE NEVER LOST A WAR AND NEVER WILL! YOU BARBARIANS WILL KNOW THE WILL OF THE CZARINA AND HER CHOSEN EVEN IF YOU ALL HAVE TO DIE IN THE PROCESS!" The trainbot, grabbing a cart (The one Rosa's in), threw it towards the forest, hitting mere meters away from Czir and lily. "Ah crap... Why does it always get harder..."

[y7h65]

Rosa and Aeon's POV (Red....... Rosa pinned herself to the outside of a train car. She's not in it.)
Aeon figured something out about the clockwork men quickly. Despite them managing to get the drop of him last time, they seemed to have crappy joint armor, suffered from balance issues, and that they can't handle a 1000LB giant metal cat who is prepared to fight them in CQB.
"Heheheheh. This is almost......................."
He managed to shut himself up before he finished the sentence.
"Don't forget Aeon. Nothing good comes out of saying those words."
A nearby elf was witnessing Aeon strength in combat and decided to comment.
"color=#008000]Huh. With this dark machine on our side, this battle will be easy.[/color]"
Aeon cursed as the elf finished the sentence. Then the train stood up.
"OH COME ON!"

Rosa felt the train car getting lifted and quickly detached herself from it. She turned into her blank form and she jumped on top of the train car, and saw the giant robot holding the train car, about to throw it.
"Why is this never easy! like shoot a guy in the train easy?"
She sighed and jumped onto the arm just as it threw the train car. Quickly changing her hands into spikes, she managed to puncture the armor enough to get a grip.
"Ok, now all that's left is to climb up this arm, turn into a more combat worthy form, and kill the leader. Thank god for that assassin's training that came with being a spy."
She started to climb the arm towards the main part of the train.

[Gekkey Matthews]

His rocket had just splashed on the elite and burned out without and noticeable damage, save that the emblem was no longer there, but it had created a smoke cloud around the group, obscuring their aim.

"Damn. What the [censored] is their armor made out of?" Mason asked aloud to no one.

"Tungsten most probably. Although That would make each suit as expensive as the whole train."

"Well..."

"Indeed..."

"What?"

"Yes."

"...Never mind."

"Alright."

Another round exploded nearby and knocked Mason over. He got back up and stumbled to cover. The cover then exploded. "God damn it. Why does everything keep exploding near me." He then ran towards a knocked over train car, shots exploding behind him, and hid inside. He heard more explosions on the other side of the car. "Remember. Under the armor is just a man. And men can be killed." He shot another rocket into the ground fifty feet away, in between him and the advancing soldier. The rocket exploded on the ground and began to spew white smoke over half the wreckage. He then lobbed a bundle of eight sticks of dynamite into the middle of the smoke cloud.

[Der Kojote]

Felix threw the other 50% of his power at the train, meanwhile he yelled at the TRAIN "BARBARIANS?" YOU'RE THE ONE MURDERING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT? THE LYX COUNT IS BETTER THAN YOU, YOU LOON! A GENIE MAKES MORE SENSE THAN YOU! OR IS THAT TO MUCH FOR YOUR PEE SIZED BRAIN TO HANDLE, OR IS YOUR EGO SO BIG THAT IT CHOKES YOUR BRIAN THE TRAIN IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRANSPORT IT!"

[the red soldier]

Baron Dokarov, Alevandro, Renia

When the tiny half elf began screaming insults, the Baron completely lost it. Unlike the Lyx-Count whom would have seen it as humerous, the Baron demanded the upmost extreme respect, this was an afront to his pride. "WORMS! ALL OF YOU WORMS!" The robot trains arms began to flail wildly as it picked up train carts after train carts to throw at almost everyone, friend and fow alike. The half-elfs words didn't just affect the Baron, the clockwork soldiers themselves began to falter. The once great man had lost, swallowed by his own pride and would probably be executed upon arrival home anyways so some began to bolt out of there. Even the boss of em started to leave. "We serve the Czarina first and foremost, not some forgotten relic of a past Czar." He said upon earshot of Renia. "This Czarina must truly be loved or truly be feared to have such loyalty."

Meanwhile, Alevandro, stopped banging the claymore on the downed one as it stopped moving, noticing the bigger threat of a giant pissed off train throwing things. "Thats it, I've seen bloody everything in this forest..." A cart hit a mere meter away as flying debris bounced off his armor.

[y7h65]

Rosa's POV
Rosa had managed to snag her way up the arm and get inside. Upon infiltrating she turned back to her normal form and started to look around for the commander. She found a few unlucky people while doing so, and dispatched them accordingly.
Suddenly she heard someone yelling. "WORMS! ALL OF YOU WORMS!" She headed towards where she heard it from and found a small control room. Quietly opening the door, she saw a single overweight general ranting and yelling at random people.
"Hmmmmmm. He must be the leader."
She quietly walked up to the man, turned her right arm into a sword blade, and said something in the voice of the last person she said.
"Uhhh Sir.... We have a problem."
