"You mean to tell me there's no hope?" said Sentio. "How can that be?"

"Oh, there's hope," said EagleRock, "but it'd require a leap of faith and an act of God. If they're going to turn the tables, MetalDart needs to get into that hostage room. They're all out on the warehouse floor right now, which means the room is empty. If he can get in there, he can turn the match over."

"But how?" said Sentio. "He'd still have to get the hostages out of the room and get them out of the warehouse."

"True. However, think of the ramifications of him doing it. We're outnumbered, they have the positional advantage. If he could squeeze into that room and garrison himself inside, that would be a big blow to them psychologically. Think how you'd feel if the impossible seemed to happen against you, especially against these odds."

Sentio thought. "Very true. But how can he do it?"

"Like I said, a leap of faith. He'd have to jump down from that air duct and take the 8 foot fall, then run in there without getting shot."

"Christ," said Sentio. "You weren't kidding when you said the odds were against us."

"I know. I trust my soldiers, but this is one battle that even the best of the best would sweat bullets on."

SlashFirestorm thought about those words carefully.

-----

Slash, in his prime, was the most intense, most efficient, and most deadly Elite Guard. His daily patrols did more against the evils of Newgrounds than some Elite Guards could do in a week. As such, his skills on the battlefield were strong, and his speed unparalleled. However, running the scenario through his mind did little to help the situation. No matter how the numbers added up, we were screwed. He knew it was only a matter of time, and that it would require a miracle to get us out alive.

-----

In the map, DarkSoldier was still pinned against the left wall of the warehouse as he breathed heavily. He was gripping his Para so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. He knew that MetalDart needed help, and would die if he didn't do anything. As he quickly racked his brain, one idea came to him.

Sacrifice.

He radioed in his last words. "When you hear my gun, go for the door."

"What are you doing, DarkSoldier?"

"I'm going in. We're dead if we don't move."

"You're dead if you run in there!"

"We're all dead if I don't. Don't waste the opportunity on me. I didn't train all this time in the Elite Guard to have my life go to waste."

"Christ, Dark, you can't really be serious!!!"

"I am. DaRk, toss your last flashbang in, then I'll run in there and cause the distraction."

"Roger," said DaRk. He pulled out the flashbang and tossed it into the middle of the warehouse. Once the flash went off, DarkSoldier ran in, spraying his Para.

MetalDart closed his eyes, as he prepared himself for the jump. Just then, Dobio started shooting at him from the other side of the duct. MetalDart was forced to jump.

Time seemed to stop as he crashed through the grate towards the concrete landing 10 feet below.

End of Chapter 12

Great Chapter EG!!!!

I got shot several times but I'm still alive ALRIGHT!

Hehe, yeah, that IS true. Some of you newer members would be shitting yourselves in awe at some of our paces back in the day...it was not unusual for me to get about 150 B/P a day before I reached EGSC. :-D

Anyhow, OFFICERS AND STUFF. We got the positions official yet? Sooner we got em, the sooner I can update the Barracks FAQ and make everything all up-to-date and sexiful.

It also looks like you're about to sacrifice your life for the greater good.

Well done, soldier!

Thanks for all the great comments, guys! And yes, DarkSoldier IS being a badass, isn't he?

You'll notice that a lot of the stuff I put in about people, at least the people I know well enough, have hints of truth in them. More of the story is actual stuff than you'd think.

Oh, right. I forgot to make it official, didn't I?

Okay, then. Slash, you're reinstated as the Barracks Recruitment Officer, Sterockicy and Shanus are now both taking up positions as Barracks Records Officers, and Andrea364 is now the Barracks NGPD Laison. You can go ahead and update the FAQ.

I was hoping to get in another chapter last night, but the espresso I had wired my brain too much, so I stopped concentrating partly into Chapter 13. I'll make sure I get at least 13 done tonight, after which this 8 vs. 8 battle will be over.

I also need to modify the story, as I miscounted who was dead and alive at one point. The paragraph where I talk about them being outnumbered should be this:

"I have no fucking clue," said EagleRock aloud, loud enough for nearby Barracks members to hear. "They're too pinned down to do anything, and their garrison is giving them an impossible advantage. This situation would be hard enough even if they were outnumbered."

I was rushing too much to get the chapter out there, and I didn't proofread. Doh.

I can't wait for the part where I save the day by using my huge penis to crush the forces of evil!

...it COULD happen!

Okay, then. Slash, you're reinstated as the Barracks Recruitment Officer,

Haha, it's a fun job, even if I have to fight the urge to yell at the newbies who come in here thinking this is a military roleplay club or whatnot (nowadays they might be justified in that assumption if they look at the more recent pages, HEH).

Sterockicy and Shanus are now both taking up positions as Barracks Records Officers,

How those guys can do lists and stuff like that boggles my fuckin' mind. Maybe it's just the ADHD in me, but I'd go insane after five minutes of calculating stats and links and stuff like that...

and Andrea364 is now the Barracks NGPD Laison.

lolpartyvan

You can go ahead and update the FAQ.

Tis done. If any officers have any contact info (or interesting facts) that they'd like me to put on the FAQ under their name, PM it to me and I'll add it.

Sweet, because I've been doing way too much writing lately, and now I'm in a reading mode.

I mean, it's not that I don't enjoy writing 10000 words of guy-on-girl-on-guy action, but sometimes my fingers get tired of typing, lol.

Damn, I was beginning to think I was going to be a bad ass, and take out more than just Uber before getting killed. Oh well, at least I got the head shot in.

Nice chapter too.

Sorry I have been gone for a while guys, had some issues with the computer ( fucking blue screen of death ), but anyways, loving the Chapters so far. haha, I wasted Evark, Nice!

Yeah the story just seems to be getting better by every chapter. It sucks though to see alot of the good guys die. But hey at least us elite guards are trying to tunr the tables. And awesome for DarkSoldier for sacrificing himself for the greater cause. Hope the next chapter to this awesome story comes soon.

How many chapters will there be in your story EagleRock ???

Five days and counting, fellow soldiers.

Another good chapter. Although, DarkSoldier being such a badass is kind of making a few of us look bad. Especially me.

To be completely honest, I don't know! Like I've said before, the story has a beginning and an end, and a set number of matches, as well as certain plot twists, etc. However, each match can be anywhere from a half of a chapter to 3 chapters, so the it's really a crapshoot at this point. I'd say count on there being at least 25. :-)

Not true. You're all badasses in the story, considering everyone so far has volunteered to risk dying for the Barracks. It's just that DarkSoldier was willing to do a suicidal run to get MetalDart into the hostie room.

I fail at all things artistic. :-/

Since we've all been talking about writing lately, I spent the morning putting my entire fucking fanfiction library into my userpage posts. XD

That way I can host them all on Newgrounds, and that archive page links to every chapter of every story nice and neatly. :-D

Incidentally, we best get more story from EagleRock soon.

Looks simple. I've been doing origami for about 15 years, so it shouldn't be hard for me. I can't try it now, but maybe on my lunch hour.

Keep in mind that I'm used to doing origami that's much more complicated than that. In fact, the pic below is of John Montroll's Grasshopper, which I've done so much that I can do it by heart:

I CAN HAS E-COOKIES NOW PLZ? KTHX

hey what's going on b/p whoers, just stoppin' by! haven't been here in a while, sorry :( (actually haven't been in c&c for a while)

my b/p points have been down for quite a while, but i've tried to pick up my pace. i'm currently b/p'ing on my main at work, and my alt at home... once he ranks up (which should be shortly) i might retire on him for a while, and concentrate on getting hippo some points, so he isn't instantly passed.

i have a bunch of b/p sharks at my heels, so i gotta work hard to keep them away. soon as i begin to bleed a little bit, and slack off, i'm done for!

hmmm, just now realized i haven't even been in here since the redesign >_<

some of the new b/p ranks are cool, mainly the beginning ones, those are a lot cooler, but some of the higher ones are less cool now :( i miss the green leafy badges :( my winged tank is alright i guess. nothing spectacular. a little sad there was no aesthetic b/p ranks added either, just for shits and giggles after 30k :(

oh wellzzzz, hope everyone is ready for clock day! getcher protection finger ready!

happy b/p'ing to you all!

There should be at least a few more, even if only ramagi and Denvish got the top rank. Like, Elite Fucking Jedi maybe, or perhaps Sexy Blam Goddess for ramagi. <3

CLOCK DAY CHECKLIST

1) Pillow to sit on so my ass doesn't get sore
2) Three bags of Goldfish crackers
3) Four two-liter bottles of water, with one of them being totally frozen so it'll thaw throughout the day
4) Lots and lots of fucking advil for hand cramps/eye strain
5) Chastity belt so I'm not tempted to masturbate during Clock Day, costing B/P points
6) Caffeine pills for the final few hours
7) Awesome fucking Clock Mask
8) Unplugging the fucking phone because I don't intend to talk to anyone, even those with tits, on Clock Day.
9) Bucket to piss in
10) Massive amounts of hand lotion...for AFTER Clock Day.

You're clock day list is quite epic. I might as well making a Clock Day list on what I should get and do.

#1: Store 6 water bottles in the refigerator.
#2: Make a Clock Day Mask.
#3: Make coffie when it's about to start.
#4: Stay up to +35 Hours.
#5: Find a way not to lock myself out of my account. XD

Oh, don't be so pissed. I've been doing this shit for years, so it's second-nature by now. To be honest, the cat that you found was not a basic origami, I'd say it's more of an intermediate-level model. I'd recommend starting with the origami crane, as that is on the harder-side of the beginner models. If you can do that, you can use that as a baseline to jump to harder models.

Incidentally, here's that grasshopper I mentioned, which is one of my favorite models. I made it today on break:

U sued to do origami about 10 years ago or so. I had a book and a bunch of papers and had these paper figures I made all over the place. I haven't done it in FOREVER and I don't have any paper anyway.

But that is a cool grasshopper, Eagle.

And I feel for you Phantom. But, if you're new at it you'll figure it out eventually.

Thanks...I got it from Origami for the Enthusiast by John Montroll. It was my first "real" origami book...one that didn't have stupidly simple models. You can actually get a shitload of models right at www.origami.com.

And I feel for you Phantom. But, if you're new at it you'll figure it out eventually.

Yeah, don't despair. I wouldn't recommend that cat if it was your first attempt at origami.

Now, let's see if I can get more of that story done.

NO, but it's getting close to the end of the competition. Wigi World held a competition to see who could make the best minigame for the place. I think there's a a couple thousand dollars worth of prizes there.
