OOC: Ever since when the first shot of “The Battle” was fired, I have been semi-confused. Let’s just say that Aleho, Will, Fang, and Insane were in the police car, chasing Santa Anna’s buggy. (Sorry if I left anyone out. I don’t know who is still role-playing) Pretend they had destroyed all the vehicles guarding Santa Anna’s buggy. In my story Fang’s armor has become obliterated, so pretend that Fang’s power armor is damaged, but still provides minimal protection. Will is in the driver’s seat, Aleho is the passenger’s seat and Fang and Insane are in the back.
IC: All in same pre-war police car, Aleho, Will, Fang and Insane had just driven out La Paz’s ruins (the prewar city “Alamo” was built on), to see Santa Anna only 300 yards away. Knowing they were so close to catching up, Will pressed down the gas pedal, pushing the pre-war police car past it’s red line and to the limits. At the police car’s quickening pace, they were nearing Santa Anna’s buggy. The group have no idea where Santa Anna was heading to, but his buggy seemed not to be meandering on it’s path. The only thing seen on the horizon was some cliffs leading to the ocean, nothing unusual… until Insane pointed out a small arrangement of pre-war buildings and short pre-war roads.
This small complex of buildings was far from the ruins, past the outskirts of town. There were several roads adjacent the complex that started and stopped in the middle of no where, averaging only a mile in length. Seeing so many of those odd roads, they had no idea what this place was. Getting closer and closer to the arrangement of buildings and roads, they passed a sign in Spanish. Knowing very little but some Spanish, Insane guessed it said something about La Paz, air, and “Terminal A and B”. The sign also had an arrow pointing straight towards the arrangement of buildings.
Reaching the buildings, Santa Anna’s buggy started driving on one of the short roads that started and stopped in the middle of nowhere. Getting closer to Santa Anna, they started driving on the road he was on. Their police car passed another sign, “Runway 2”, indicating to the road they were on. They had no idea what a “runway” was, but to them it just seemed like a wide road.

Kicking up a huge cloud of dust behind them, they joined Santa Anna’s vehicle on the “runway”, still chasing him and getting closer. They were now only fifty yards away from him. They momentary lost sight of Santa Ann’s vehicle as he turned the corner of the “Hanger” building. The “Hanger” looked like some sort of storage building for the whole place. Going over 60 mph, the car screeched as it turned the corner of the “Hanger”… revealing a huge plane rumbling out of the hanger. The whole group gaped as a gigantic cargo airplane rumbled out the hanger. “HOLY CRAP!!! A FREAKING PLANE!!!“ The two-story behemoth of a vehicle scared the crap out of them. This was an incredible site. (After seeing this site, Aleho would need a new pair of pants.)

“Big mouth” Jumbo Cargo Transport plane[/h2]
http://fallout.gamestats.com/forum/User_files/3afd8af160e06508.gif
Combat Designation: Commercial cargo aircraft transport
Cover of Vehicle: Full
Body Strength: Incredibly High
Mounted Weapons:
· Numerous weapon ports allowing the occupants to fire out of the vehicle, through small windows
Engine: Aircraft Brake and Drive system (Jet turbine engines gone)
Maneuverability: Low
Maximum Speed: 80 mph (But very slow acceleration)
Cargo Capacity: Has been converted to living space
With seventy years of disrepair, there are no wings or a jet engine. Do not let that trick you, it is powerful. Evident from the huge back wheels, the scrap metal armor and the gun ports distributed around the plane, this vehicle had been tinkered with… and transformed into a mobile fortress.
Serving as the hangout and the living quarters of the super mutants, this bird can cruise at breakneck speeds. Is extremely well armored. Part of the nose of the plane alternately serves as a ramp, used to easily bring cargo in.
As the C330 “Big mouth” Industrial Cargo Jumbo Transport plane rumbled out of the garage, shaking everyone in the police car, they read the pre message of “Continental Airlines… we fly to serve you” on it. A ramp opening from the nose of the plane (originally used to easily bring cargo in) opened to “swallow” Santa Anna’s vehicle as the group read the words on the side. Their jaws dropped even more as it headed their way.
The tables had turned, Will, Aleho, Insane, and Fang were now the ones running for their lives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gunning the engine, Will sped the pre-war, rusted police car down the runway they had been driving on. The aircraft’s numerous weapon ports fired into the police car, mostly missing because of the distance in between the two speeding vehicles. The distance was shortening though, the plane was slowly accelerating. They hoped something as big as that couldn’t out run something like their speedy vehicle and guessed the plane’s steady acceleration would stop sometime soon. Heck, this was the fastest Will had ever driven in his life. Hoping a weakness could be found on the plane, Aleho stuck his head out window and looked at the plane… which he pulled his head right back in. A bullet had just whizzed past his ear, smashing into the side mirror. Using the rear view mirror, he looked back to see Fang and Insane shooting out the back window. A mesh/glass barrier was separating him from back seats, disabling Aleho from shooting back. Aleho could only shoot out the door window, but the plane wasn’t to the side of them. He felt helpless in the situation. Fang’s and Insane’s bullets (and lasers) were bouncing off the huge plane’s armor. The group didn’t have heavy enough hardware. The plane was chasing them and was catching up… and Aleho saw no weakness.
Over the bullets being fired, Will yelled to the back, “THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE BIGGER THEY FALL!” Immediately after finishing his sentence, Will swerved the car off the runway and onto the rough terrain of the hard-baked wasteland. Little did Will realize, huge all-terrain wheels had been installed on this beast of a vehicle. (see picture) If the wheels had not been replaced, the plane would fall on it’s side going 20 mph or faster while turning. With the huge wheel modifications, the aircraft easily did the sharp turn and changed terrains with ease, from smooth road to bumpy desert.
Seeing this Aleho yelled for Will to drive straight for the ocean, hoping the massive plane would not be able to take vertical Cliffs
Author’s note: Sadly they would never make it to the ocean.
OOC: I’m trying to control the other characters so you guys have total flexibility with yours. Please don’t defeat the plane, I already have a really good plan. Other stuff can happen thought, or they could try a plan that works horribly and puts them in an ever more vulnerable position. That would be cool.
