5th bolt - OPERATION MORDWAGEN

[richtighammer]

((Action, ALL OVER MAYFIELD BITCHES))

[There is a rumbling in the streets of Mayfield. It is audible over the sounds of gunfire and cries of battle, audible even over the moans of the growing hordes of undead - it is the thunder of the chariot of Thor, the sound before which men and giants have trembled since first the thunder god burst from the

[a cavalry led by Thor brings a tear to Rider's eye. Reminded him of his own Noble Phantasm. Rider joins the fray!]

These abominations will be no match for our thunderous chariots, Thor!

[He gives a resounding battle cry , pointing forward with his sword.]

[richtighammer]

[Thor replies with his own wild battle-cry, echoed by the deep bleats of the goats, which do not appear to fear zombies and are doing their own work with hooves and horns.]

It's been a long time since I fought beside one so bold, Rider!

[He dispatches a zombie with a swift backhand swing and laughs - only a storm could make this better!]

[macebronia]

Of course, as the King of Conquerors, I cannot be anything but!

[More zombie beheading!]

[richtighammer]

Ha! You know, I've heard you say that many a time, but what have you conquered, eh?

[Thor punctuates this by conquering a zombie. In the face.]

[a_gentle_boy]

Huh?

[Atop his riding table, Lucas notices the rumbling first before he hears any sounds. The table slows down somewhat as he glances around to try and figure out what sort of diabolical new threat is approaching.

When he finally sees it, his mouth slowly falls open.

Lucas and his table are swept away in the horde, much to their displeasure. Almost as an afterthought, a green transparent bubble pops up around them to mitigate the damage when they get trampled.]

[richtighammer]

[Thor laughs as he looks over his shoulder at the advancing stampede. This is a cavalry! Chariots and steeds, wailing war-horns (or ambulance sirens, one or the other), the thunder of hoofbeats and the clatter of wheels and--

--what in Hel is that?

Thor reins up to ride beside the galloping table, staring at it but not making any further sense of it. The person on it doesn't even appear to be doing anything with it!]

You, boy! Have you no weapon?

[a_gentle_boy]

[Half-in-answer, half-by-accident, the jostling and jolting eventually knock up a baseball bat, sending it flying through the air. Before it can get too far, though, it's snatched back to the table courtesy of a well-thrown yo-yo.]

Y-Yes... Sort of. They're good enough. ...What's going on?! Where did all of this come from?

[richtighammer]

[...Thor is actually not sure. He's pretty sure he was riding alone when this all started; people just kind of... joined him as he went.]

Does it matter? The foe will not stand against us!

[As he brings another zombie to its doom.]

The lady wants a competition, me thinks! Legolas/Gimli style?!

[flowers_suck]

[Olivier joins the parade of vehicles and has her driver maneuver the tank to right behind Thor's chariot. Upon seeing that some of the zombified remains are still wriggling around in his wake, she directs the tank to run those over along with any unsmashed heads. Then, she pulls out a pistol that she acquisitioned from Jonathon's Tools during her ransacking for supplies and ammo to take back to the base. She calls out to Thor.]

Make sure to destroy their brains.

[She get in a shot straight through the eye of a zombie he's about to crush.]

That makes 76 for me!

AWWWW YEAH

[richtighammer]

Do you think to teach me how to fight, woman?

[But in the heat of the moment it's just battle-fueled banter, and he gives a shout of surprised laughter as his hammer whistles through the air where the zombie's head had been just a moment before.]

Ha! Is that all? [He takes another swing, braining one of the zombies in the horde behind the first.] Eighty!

[....this count may or may not be strictly factual.]

XD

[flowers_suck]

[She sheathes her sword and pulls out another pistol.]

Only four more? I expected you to give me more of a challenge!

[The tank takes out another round of zombies and she shoots a few of the ones Thor's carriage is approaching. If only to steal his thunder. (ooc: lol)]

84! You better pick up your pace!

[Her's might be slightly inflated, too, lol]

[richtighammer]

[Not to be outdone, Thor takes out two more with one mighty backhand swing, running down another two at the same time.]

Look to the foe at your back before you seek to aid me - you need not fear for me!

[gotyourbones]

[Oh, man, a zombie invasion is actually awesome. Medic is in the process of dismembering a zombie, after removing the legs of course, when he catches sight and sound of the oncoming horde. It's not his bonesaw, but dammit it's a saw anyway, and while he has a gun, well, a saw doesn't have to be reloaded, does it?

And of course Thor is at the head of this. It's exactly his style. He lets out a cackle and lifts his saw in salute after giving his zombie a last parting shot to the head.]

Horrido!

[richtighammer]

[Oh, hey! It's that guy who knows about good beer! Thor raises the hand on the reins in brief greeting, casually ending a zombie's existence with the hammer in his other hand at the same time.]

Medic! [It's possibly the first bellowing of that name across a battlefield by someone who has absolutely no need of a doctor.

Thor pulls up beside him and reins in the goats in a shower of sparks, pausing long enough to beckon Medic to the chariot.]

You might kill more with a better seat, my friend!

[gotyourbones]

[No. No it isn't. Do you even know how many times he's been pulled through enemy fire to take care of a scraped knee?

Too many times. People can be so whiny about injury. They are all damn lucky that he didn't just let them hop around trying to balance a flamethrower or proper FG42 simply to see what would happen.

But that part? Totally not important. What's important is cackling, vaulting into the chariot, and killing more zombies.

Hey, you know what else is important?]

...Vhen vill your mead be finished?

[richtighammer]

[Thor laughs, giving a zombie a might hit that practically takes its head clean off. Killing is always more fun with someone else to help!]

Why, if these monsters do not find their way into the cellar, we'll be toasting our victory at the end of the month, my friend!

[bitemescumbag]

[Yuri didn't... really know how to drive. At all, honestly. With what seemed to be a permanent droning for Karin, he'd lost both a close friend, and a free driver's ed program.]

[As the saying went "He who dares, wins."]

[What better time to learn than now?]

[So there's a standard-issue Mayfield automobile literally screaming in protest at the punishment it's being put through, merging into the cavalry at the head of the pack. Luckily for Thor, it's driver isn't really skilled enough to hit the larger pockets of undead.]

[Also lucky that it's not, you know, causing friendly fire...]

[Said driver is, of course, having a complete blast.]

sorry for late!!

[richtighammer]

[Thor has never really gotten over his mistrust of automobiles. But if there's one thing he likes about them, it's the sound of their motors - and the louder, the better. He laughs and bellows at the machine, not really caring whether its driver can hear him.]

Not bad - a chariot to keep the wind off your face!

sir I am the late-r-er and therefore MORE sorry

[bitemescumbag]

[The automobile, especially ones built during the era Mayfield mimics, are loud. There's no doubt about that.

Thor, though not yet a god again(?), is also a rather loud fellow. As attested to by the car's driver's arm sticking out the window with a very distinct thumbs-up gesture prominently displayed.

Whatever Yuri may or may not be saying is, however, cut off as the car veers off away from Thor. Someone should have kept both hands on the wheel...]

[richtighammer]

[Thor has... no idea what a thumbs-up means! But he returns the gesture nonetheless, because whether compliment or insult he's sure he feels the same.

And, of course, he assumes that the driver is simply changing direction! He doesn't mind. More zombies for him over here, after all!]
