Town: Through the Streets and Down Below, Sunday Early Afternoon

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Not that it would have been hard to notice a guy in red spandex carrying a large, clunky metal box through town while surrounded by a bunch of students, but weirder things had happened in this town, right? Right?

Fortunately, Conner had backtracked through all the back alleys last night on his way back from the reconaissance trip with Bridge, so he knew how to get to the right sewer grating with a minimum of fuss, but still. Bright red, and gold trim. Not exactly stealth gear, and whose idea had that been, anyway? (He so blamed Zordon, even though all he knew about the guy was from what Doctor Oliver had told him, and what he'd seen in the archive footage; maybe when you hadn't had a body for thousands of years, things like practical clothing didn't occur to you any more.)

When they reached the dead-end alley where he and Bridge had entered the sewers last night, Conner set the transporter device down and knelt to remove the manhole cover. "Here we go," he said, "and I swear, I am so paying for everybody's laundry afterward, too."

On the Way Through Town

Because seriously, how else are you gonna get there?

Billy moved silently with the rest of the group, mentally preparing himself for another fight. He would not lose control this time.

Entering the Sewers

Ewww . . . kinda sloshy.

Peter made a mental note to be sure to do laundry. Tomorrow. Or later tonight if need be.

Conner was mentally tallying up all the quarters he had on hand. Yeah, he was going to need more.

"Next time," he said, "we find a bad guy with an obsessive fear of germs."

Shawn crouched awkwardly to peer into the sewer entrance and wrinkled his nose. "This smell better come out, man. I want my girlfriend to still come near me once this is all over."

"Tell me about it," Conner called up through the manhole. "Except for the girlfriend part, I'm right there with you. I should've gotten a truckload of lemon juice, or something."

Clad in lime-green overalls and with her laser dissociator tucked in to its holster, Carmela jumps down in to the sewer and hits bottom with a splash.

"Okay, ew."

Re: Entering the Sewers

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Sorry 'bout that," Conner tells her sheepishly. "Like I said, I'll pay for laundry."

"Remind me to tell Tex about my big plan to rig up the sewer with traps. Explosive traps."

Tyrannodrones!

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Because of course it wouldn't be easy -- a group of scaly (http://www.dyqatt.com//albums/Day%20of%20the%20Dino/prdt-dayofthedino120.jpg), lightly-armored (http://www.dyqatt.com//albums/Day%20of%20the%20Dino/prdt-dayofthedino115.jpg) lizard-men (http://www.dyqatt.com//albums/Day%20of%20the%20Dino/prdt-dayofthedino112.jpg) with bladelike claws for arms appeared from both ends of the T-intersection and charged the group. Looked like it was going to be time to fight their way toward Mesogog . . .

Billy held his katana in one hand, and with the other drew his gun, firing a few shots at the charging lizard men.

Re: Tyrannodrones!

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

A few of the shots hit and staggered the T-drones back a few feet, but two of them broke away and headed toward Billy. In keeping with their usual, um, strategy, they just went for a straight charge, blade-arms pointed toward him as they ran.

Pip loaded his suppressed sub-machine gun and fired at the approaching...thing.

Peter felt more at home the instant he saw the lizard-men. If ever a White Witch's minion there was, they could play the part. He drew his sword to first block the arm-blades out of the way and then strike at the nearest T-drone.

Shawn isn't that effective as a fighter when he can't get his hands on the things, so he hangs towards the back of the group, there mostly to heal anyone who needs it.

He has a revolver, just in case who knows where he picked that up from, and he's ready to drain the odd scaly thing should he have to.

Re: Tyrannodrones!

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner, carrying the transporter device, was more than slightly encumbered to put things lightly. He found a relatively dry spot to put it down -- hoping that 24th century technology was somewhat waterproof -- and held his hand out.

"ThunderMax Saber!"

The weapon materialized in his grip, in sword mode despite the icon and he nodded in satisfaction. Damn, that felt good.

Bringing the sword up into an attack position, he charged in toward the nearest knot of T-drones. At least there weren't any trees to get thrown into down here.

Carmela's first instinct was to reach for the chocolate bar she had in one pocket. Then she thought better of it and just turned on the dissociator, making sure it was set to "low disintegrate" instead of "hot curl", and fired.

The Separation

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner put the transporter device, a little splattered and dented but hopefully none the worse for wear, down in a conveniently sheltered nook and turned it on. "Time to see if this sucker works," he muttered. Not that the remaining T-drones were going to leave them alone -- two or three of them started heading for the shiny metal thing with the lighted panels.

Re: The Separation

Glancing from Conner to the approaching T-drones, Peter shifted to put himself between Conner and his transporter and the attackers. He slashed at the closest attacker, hoping to deflect their attention.

Re: The Separation

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn is surprisingly none the worse for wear after his first T-drone encounter, draining it kinda made him feel better, actually.

He's good distraction material fortunately, and following Peter's lead as well as he can considering the impediment of his cast, moved to block their path. Once he felt he had a decent enough aim, he fired at one.

"I think one of those bastards dislocated my shoulder," Pip said, grunting.

Confrontation with Mesogog

"You expect to defeat me with only... one ranger? Ha!" Mesogog wiped under his chin with a clawed digit.
