And I can guide a missile by satellite

WHO: The Major and everyone who signed up to fight in the City.
WHERE: Locations across the City.
WHEN: 11 PM Friday evening.
WARNINGS: So. Much. Violence.
SUMMARY: Operation Gotterdammerung has begun, and with it Case Schwarze: a full air and ground assault against the ImPort community designed to prevent interference with the nuke in Washington. Missiles and vampires ahoy!
FORMAT: Whatever works.
NOTES: Don't forget to add your characters' tags as they join in!

Leaning back in his chair, occasionally taking the time to dictate a response to his post on the communicator, the Major watched happily as his master plan at last unfolded. It was all worth it, he could already tell. The months of planning, the prison takeover, the theft of the bomb, the kidnapping of the Detective, all the promises he’d made to his new comrades, it was all coming together right here in front of him, in the fire and explosions of detonating missiles and attacking vampires. It was the fulfillment of his most cherished dream: a war beyond any man’s history had ever known. Reports from his crew filtered in from all around him:

”Rot Team reports that they are in position Major. Package is secure.”

”Schwarze One reports commencing attack on police station.”

”Missile hit! Confirmed hit on Turing nightclub!”

”Schwarze Five, commencing assault on the Spark Roast.”

”Confirmed missile hits on both prisons!”

He sat and listened and smiled and watched. In less than an hour the device would detonate, and America’s capital would be swallowed up in a mushroom cloud. There would have to be retaliation, retaliation greater than that after Pearl Harbor, retaliation not just at those responsible but also at those who had let it happen because they were too busy looking after their own homes. There would be war, first native against ImPort, but then as things fell apart ImPort against ImPort, native against native, war between teams, countries, movements, alliances! War upon war upon war!

“It has begun,” the Major said to himself, watching the chaos unfold on the array of screens hanging from the ceiling in front of his seat, as well as through the DEM II’s vast observation window. “The dance that cannot end! The symphony I can revel in for all time! The fire that shall never burn out!”

Below, the prelude to that symphony continued.

"What a silly thing to say," she said, narrowing her eyes and tapping her still-human finger to her lips as she focused on observing what unique power she could glean from the overbearing sea of vampire energy. So, so very boring. "You're taller than me, you know." But not stronger, so far as she could tell, which was good! After all, the best kind of person was one who was strong, but not stronger than her. And it wouldn't do at all to be outmatched in a situation as boring as this--from somebody being so rude, too. The nerve of these people! Still, though, he might be worth her time.

"But I don't think it's quite fair," she added, her voice still deceptively thoughtful, "to just demand things of a stranger without considering their needs first. If you wish to fight me, then you should make the first move, after all. It's only polite."

How annoying. A monster in the guise of a little girl. Those were always the worst kind. But he'd seen enough of these sorts that her appearance wouldn't stop him from pulling his punches.

"Fine, I'll make the first move." He lazily pulled his gun from its holster and shot off a round of bullets in her direction. Did they hit? Maybe. He didn't really care. It was more of a smartass move. "There, moved. Your turn, biyotch."

She stepped out of the way--more accurately, she leapt out of the way at a ridiculous speed, which was Riful's equivalent of stepping--with a frown. A gun. Guns were something fairly new and absolutely revolting to Riful; there was no skill to them, and no talent, or at least none that she prized in her potential allies. Swords--well, they were something very different. And this man was arrogant enough to shoot one at her? That wasn't promising, not in the slightest.

"If you're going to insist on being that way," she sighed, sounding more pouty than furious, "then you only deserve what happens next."

And then a giant wave of tentacles shot out at him. HOORAY.

"Yeah, I insist," the demon boy quipped with a smirk. But then...

Nero's eyes widened. Oh shit. What the fuck are those. He barely managed to bring his Devil Bringer arm front and center in time. The giant, spectral version of his arm grabbed at the tentacles, catching some of them. The rest pierced Nero in various places, but he didn't seem to notice the blood staining his clothes.

No, now he had the tiger by the tail. Or uh... the freaky tentacle lady by the tentacles.

He grinned and his eyes flashed red as he made a snatching motion with his hand. The spectral hand holding the tentacles followed suit. He planned to whack her into the building behind him. Repeatedly, if possible.
