Update 1
Spoiler:
Image
The fields were quiet, just another day at Chao Island. Abandoned topics, barren discussions, the distant sounds of a new member spamming the away function... Just another day.

Except this was anything but another day. For months now, members of Chao Island had been locked in a bitter struggle between who should run the site. The REDs (Republic of Ending Descrimination), and the BLUs (Bright Lads Uprising) were at war, costing hundreds and thousands of User deaths. The REDs were being led by Sable and Lana, the dynamic duo who could influence the world if it wasn't for Triert and Blasphemy, leaders of the BLUs. Both had an equal amount of power that was capable of taking over Chao Island, if not for the opposing side trying to achieve this same goal.
Spoiler:
Image
In the meantime though, a group of six users were enjoying their day as though said war didn't even exist.
Spoiler:
Image
Patrick was showing off his wicked dance moves while snowy watched in awe, his newness being covered up by his minor achievements on this forum. Patrick had been crowned the king of detectives and wore a crown to prove it, his style slicker than anyone else.
Spoiler:
Image
Roivas had drunken a bottle too many, falling asleep while he stood guard at the front. Though, it wasn't as though it mattered, his trusty sentry would keep watch even if he didn't. After the "Battle of Feminism", he had slowly become more and more of an alcoholic, drowning his anger in gallons of booze.
Spoiler:
Image
Aidan, Crash, and Brianna all were dancing and singing to random songs, being loud and obnoxious enough to wake any dead user from their sleep. That didn't matter though, they were dead. They could kill dead, that was easy. For the longest time, these three had refused to be a part of the massacre both the REDs and the BLUs committed. However, through persuasion of threats, they joined with RED and fought against anything BLU related.
Spoiler:
Image
In the distance though, a strange structure was creeping towards the outpost.
Spoiler:
Image
"Beep, in the distance there are six targets. One sentry stands guard. There are no reinforcements for miles." The robot shook and clattered, the metal parts it was made of hitting against each other repeatedly.
Spoiler:
Image
"Options?" The bearded bot asked, his serial number showing the name Crazo - Series 3077.

"We can't take them out without that sentry in front of us, boop. However, we'll need a distraction first, beep." The Sniper bot replied, his robotic voice monotone and steady.
Spoiler:
Image
"I can do that. Follow me." The headless bot said, the serial number on him reading Torr0 - Series T0NKA.
Spoiler:
Image
"ALRIGHT LADIES, LINE UP! TIME FOR A GAME OF DODGEBALL!" Patrick laughed, tossing the ball up and down. The outpost had been quiet for the past few weeks, as not much came through these parts. So, the six passed time by playing games and practicing their shooting.
Spoiler:
Image
"Patrick! That's a live bomb in your hand and you know it!" Aidan shouted, cowering in fear like the rest of them did.

Suddenly though, Roivas' sentry started to beep.
Spoiler:
Image
"Eh? What the hell?!" Roivas quickly ran over to his sentry to see what the alarm was.
Spoiler:
Image
"What's happening?" Crash asked. "Yeah, seriously!" Snowy chimed in, cowering still at Patrick.
Spoiler:
Image
A huge explosion shook the area, blowing the gate up into little pieces.
Spoiler:
Image
"Dear lord..." Roivas whispered under his breath, his jaw dropping at the sight.

Patrick approached from behind. "What the hell is going on? We're playing dodgeball-"
Spoiler:
Image
"Bloody hell..." Patrick was stunned and stared at the opening of the hole with fear in his eyes.
Spoiler:
Image
The rest of the team poked their heads up to see what the commotion was.
Spoiler:
Image
"Oh hell!"
Spoiler:
Image
"This isn't good!"
Spoiler:
Image
"CRIKEY!"
Spoiler:
Image
"This can't be happening!"
Spoiler:
Image
As the dust settled, the six looked on in horror as they saw what emerged from it.
Spoiler:
Image
"It's the mods!"

Thank you, thank you.

I'd like to thank Gmod for being stable enough to work with

Uhh I'd like to thank Brianna and Crash for answering some questions I had to ask.

As for the actual story though, I had a few ideas.

Choose your own story?
Just something I always like doing, and since I don't have the story planned out at all, it would probably work. There'd be a moral choice, or just a choice in general, at the end where you'd vote to see what happens.

Guest characters?
These characters would be used in a later update, like way later. They'd appear in the background and maybe would have some lines. If you aren't already in the story as a main character, just send a PM specifying the load out you'd want. (They can all be found here, just go to the section you want and pick out 1 hat and 2 misc)

These are just some ideas that I've been thinking about, they aren't going to happen yet at all since we're still in the prologue I guess you could call it. I'm having a few problems with the giants, but I think I've fixed it. Next big "patch" will be around Thurs, if everything goes smoothly.

Update 2
Spoiler:
Image
"Are those?!..." Snowy cried, cowering a bit in fear.

"It would appear so... The Mods are here." Roivas whispered under his breath. "Listen," he said, pulling out his wrangler, "leave them to me, I can hold them off. Just head back to base and get your equipment!" Roivas began messing with some buttons and managed to activate a backup gate that they had installed in case of a BLU attack.

"You heard the man! Let's move! Come on team!" Patrick ordered, pointing towards the base.
Spoiler:
Image
So the five began sprinting back to the base where they had left all their equipment due to being too lazy to bring anything with them to their post.
Spoiler:
Image
"Alright, lock and load everyone!" Patrick smiled, gesturing to the table of weapons.
Spoiler:
Image
It took a while to set up all their equipment, but when it was ready Patrick gave a thumbs up. "Everyone ready?!"
Spoiler:
Image
"YEAH!" the group cheered in unison, ready to destroy whatever the Mods had to throw at them.
Spoiler:
Image
During this time, Roivas was doing his best to keep the Mods from advancing on their position. "Dammit there's too many of them!"
Spoiler:
Image
While his sentry gun was able to keep some of them back, most just kept coming, advancing from sources unknown.
Spoiler:
Image
Suddenly, Roivas' sentry gun stopped firing. "What the?!"
Spoiler:
Image
"Hello, old friend," Crazo whirled and shuttered, his mechanical voice chilling to the bone.
Spoiler:
Image
Another figure suddenly appeared on the other side of Roivas as well. "It's been quite some time since your last warning. Since then you've been as clean as a whistle. Sadly though, that doesn't matter. The eradication of Chao Island will start with you." Torro's gun clicked and pointed directly at Roivas.

"Y-You can't do this!" Roivas stuttered, his voice quaking with fear.

"Goodbye peasant." Torro dinged.
Spoiler:
Image
A whirling noise could be heard from a distance, and next an arrow flying past Torro's head.
Spoiler:
Image
The thud it made resonated through the air and left the Mod and User stunned for a moment. "Eh?..." Torro beeped.
Spoiler:
Image
"Guys you made it!" Roivas happily yelled.
Spoiler:
Image
"Put your weapons down or I swear I won't miss next time," Crash said, a cocky smile forming on his face. The other four were set up and ready to fire on the group of Mods if they tried anything funny.

"You ok Roivas?!" Brianna yelled to him, her minigun whirling at magnificent speeds.

"Yeah I'm fine," he sighed, happy to not be dead at that moment.

"So be it." Torro declared, pulling off a massive backflip while Crazo did more or less of the same.

"Eh?!" Roivas gasped, in awe at the swiftness that they pulled off their actions.
Spoiler:
Image
"While our first plan may not have worked, we will get what we want and destroy this outpost." Torro whirled and squeaked.
Spoiler:
Image
Patching into base.
Please hold...

>You're up, JmT and Chaos<
Spoiler:
Image
From the sky, two big black dots could be seen, approaching the ground at high speeds.
Spoiler:
Image
The objects landed, creating a giant cloud of dust and a large THUD.

The six Users watched in fear as the smoke cleared.
Spoiler:
Image
"HEEEELLLLLOOOO CHAO ISLAND! SORRY I GOTTA DO THIS, BUT YOU'RE GONNA ALL DIE!" JmT shouted, spreading his arms out and laughing, his laugh essentially being a monotone "HA. HA. HA."

"Once this tank reaches your explosives stash, your outpost will become the desert it is surrounded by." Chaos declared, ubering JmT, "And nobody can stop us.
Spoiler:
Image
"Christ..." Patrick's face showed nothing but fear and sadness. "Aidan, what do we do? I don't know if we can take these guys on..."
Spoiler:
Image
Aidan paused and thought for a long moment. There was no way they could take those two giants on along with that tank and those seemingly infinite waves of ModBots. "You're right, we can't. That's why we're going to get out of here."

Everyone gasped behind him but knew he was right. They were going to lose this outpost no matter what, no need to lose their lives as well.

Patrick nodded sadly. "Alright... We'll get more reinforcements before we do any sort of attack on these guys. However, how do we make our escape?"
Spoiler:
Image
"Follow me! My van is parked outback!" Crash yelled, leading the group to his van.
Spoiler:
Image
As they made their escape, a large explosion came from behind. The tank had made it to the hatch and deployed the bomb it was carrying. Pieces of wood and coal hit the roof of the van, scaring the Users inside, but after a while it was all quiet.

Roivas' head was whirling, and it was hard for him to remember anything from this sudden turn of events. However... One thing stuck out to him.

The eradication of Chao Island will start with you..
The eradication of Chao Island will start...
The eradication of Chao Island...

"What does that mean?..." Roivas whispered.
