Today is a beautiful day to walk outside thought Aura as he enjoyed the warmth of the sun and air. "Mm?" he felt a presence near him. What's this? pondered Aura, with in seconds someone bumped into him "Sorry!" as he tried to run, but Aura grab his arm before he could get any further. "Why are you stealing when you have a kind aura."
-
Gah...me steal ,you got it all wrong mate i just bumped in to ya *searches for a way out of this situation, thinking* "looks like there's no way other that to do it" Kain look into aura's eyes searching his mind for something to distract him with*
-
"I am sorry but that is noting going to work you see," lifting up his shades to show him "You need to be able to see, to see illusions" Aura had eye white as milk "Come get a bite with me." continues to walk then "Ah before I forget. Wallet please." showing out his hand "I can't buy you lunch without my wallet you know." showing a comforting smile
-
Zagreus jumps up quickly, climbing a tall grey building and sits on the top of a ledge right at the top of the buiding and peers over the city in the heavy armor pulsating with dark illuminated red streaks and mutters to himself softly "dont think yu can hide from me..."
-
* Kain hands him back the wallet then begins to folow him*
-
Zagreus scans over the city below and faint beeping noise eminates from the helmet "ahh that must be him now", Zagreus jumps down from the ledge into the middle of a deserted street filled with buildings with their windows boarded up and walks into one of the buildings on the far side of the street, picking up his Gunblade laying on the table inside and melds it into the back piece of his armor, then walks over into another room containing a metal machine of some sort which took up at least half the room and was making low humming noises. "hmmm...co-ordinates...", Zagreus lifts his arm up and slides a small panel in the armor away, plugging a thick insulated cable into the port on the panel and punches a few numbers into the keypad "that should do..." a deep metallic voice eminates from machine, which was now starting to whirr and make metallic clikcing noises from inside of it "Estimated arrival time to CENTRAL HUB, 10 miutes"
-
Jaunt appeared in a nearby alleyway looking apon aura and his friend. "Look like another meal for me." he would say before pulling the brim of his hat down to conceal his glowing red eyes. Jaunt would the put his acting into effect. At the moment he looked like a frail old furry. His body almost skin and bones. He would come out and approuched them. Once near he fell to the ground and started coughing. He sounded malnurished and weak. His breathing came in deep weezing tones.
-
Mystique watched as the man fell to the ground in a fit. "this always happens" she said to herself. Mystique folded the paper she was pretending to read and walked over to the man. "you're not fooling anyone ya know".
-
Aura took Kain to a fancy restaurant, "I'll have my usual waiter." as soon as the waiter came by. "Any for you sir" he ask Kain. "Alright your order should be up." After their meal Aura begins to speak "I know your past, I know what you been going through. But there is a place for you and I. Join H.A.F.T. and you will be welcomed there" offering his hand and smiling.
-
*looking up at him* some place where i wont be chased off , sounds like a idea ,i'll join
-
smiling "Lets go to our new home then." leaving the bill "I will say this, H.A.F.T. is a developing program that is is still in the red. Meaning we can just do anything bad. But we are funded by the government so we can't complain. Everything we need, we can get."
-
Looked to the woman a moment. The started to chuckle. "Well you got drawn in didn't you?" His hand reached out for the womans ankle. If successful she would feel a light pinch as if a needle went in her ankle. If she had an ability it was his now.
-
Mystique knew this was going to get ugly, so she channeled his mind to get up and leave while he still could
-
A Blue flash appears in a small alley on a busy street, as the light starts to fade Zagreus walks out of where the light was onto the busy main street and brushes off his armor, looking around at all the different kinds of anthro's half frozen in the street staring at the massive armored wolf standing on the sidewalk. he started to head to the large importent looking building wayyy off in the distance at the end of the street, pushing anyone in his way out of his way, casually reaching round for his gunblade.
-
while busy controling the guy on the ground, Mystique looked around herself for anymore signs of trouble before getting to her new job on time. everything seemed fine.
she made a few ajustments to the guys mind, scanned her clothes and ran off to the huge building across the street.
-
Zagreus now with the gunblade in his paw, his pace going from walking slowly to running the heavy armor thumping heavily against the concrete. thick red streaks gradually starting to illuminate throughout the armor and small blue vein like streaks appearing on the gunblade, now running at a steady pace towards the large metal door with two gaurds standing besides it, "sleepy time" Zagreus said grinning as he held up his gunblade to the first and then the second gaurd firing two quick rounds one at each gaurd, disabaling them instantly and punches into the thick metal door making the door fall inwards "HA!, that what you call 'security'", He said a stepping over the door into the building with loud alarms going off inside of it
-
Was tricked being weak to mental forces but being inside his mind left a sort of tracker on. He shook off the effect a few minutes later. Jaunt chuckled. "Next time I won't be so friendly." Came a sinister tone. He would then hear the alarms as he was nearby. "Time for fun." A long purple tongue came out of his mouth and licked his muzzle. In a flash of white light he was gone and at the doors that had been taken down. He walked in and started to remove his coat and hat. Jaunts body seemed to bubble like water was boiling and in moments he was a hulking behemoth of brute power. He sniffed the air looking for scents of anyone nearby.
-
The large armored wolf blends in with his surroundings, hearing footsteps behind him and stealthily slips off into a side corridor which was lighted by the eerie red emergency lighting. "hmm this lighting doesnt help* he muttered to himself, flicking a little button under a latch which illuminated the visor to a pale green, Zagreus looked up at the panel in the wall infront of him next too a large vault door and ripped off the panel revealing lots of wires underneath it along with a small screen with some buttons next to it
-
Takes his time at first but hearing the panel taken off he sped up his approuch. Jaunt came apon the scene of the armored wolf tearing apart the metal. "So what seems to be the fuss?" Jaunts looked at the wolf with his glowing red eyes. He would stand there examining the armor.
-
Instantly draws his gunblade out and puts the blade of it against the neck of the newcomer firmly but not with too much pressure applied "And you are?" he said in his deep voice, no expression showing through the thick metal helmet, the illuminated red of the armor casting a red glow onto the walls.
-
Grabbed hold of the gunblade with a surprising amount of speed. He would then give it a squeeze and it bent the barrel over. "The names jaunt. I'm a collector of sorts." He then yanked the gunblade from the wolf. "who might you be?"
-
Grins as the gunblade stays inplace, melding back into its non damaged form, still pressing it against his neck "dont even think of trying anything funny like that again or i wont hesitate to use it" he says pressing the meter long blade glowing dark blue now, against his neck a little firmer, then stops and melds it back into the back of his armor, moving back down to the panel looking around inside it and mutters "Zagreus, and you could say im here to 'collect' something" he searches around a little more and grabs onto a lever pulling it down and the vault door opens, setting even more alarms off
-
Looks around and spots another panel. From his body a black tenticle with hooked spikes appeared from his arm and slips into the panel ripping it off. The tendril rips out a mass of wires causing the alarm to go silent. "damn things given me a head ache." He looked at the wolf and smiled a sharp toothed smile. "maybe we can help each other out. I'm looking for others like myself. They are a delicacy to me."
-
Zagreus steps into vault which had rows and rows of shelves with boxes filled with weird looking objects, money and precious material. He scans over the shelves for a while then is focused onto one object, a small aluminium briefcase and he walks towards it "ahh that must be it" he says opening the suitcase a little finding a small cylindrical power cell inside capable of powering a small city. Zag presses a button on the side of it and it clicks open revealling its core which to the naked eye would instantly blind and severley burn you. "still working i see" he muttered to himself closing it back up again, pulling the considerably heavy suitcase off the shelf and walks back over to the entrance of the vault "well...Jaunt, seems ive found what i was looking for, either come with me or stay and be killed, the security foces are on their way already"
-
"Oh my!" Aura saw a aura in trouble and one causing trouble "Com on little one we got work to do" grabs hold of Kain and starts running. Moments later they reached the building. "Stay right here" Aura ordered Kain as draw his katana from his sheath. Aura point his blade at the dark purple aura "Halt right there, and drop that containment!"
-
Rigor wearily watched an ongoing scene for a moment before she quickly lost interest. It looked like there were two wolves.. One with a sword, the other with another unusually heavy blade and armor; and two other figures. There were alarms blaring at first, which is what captured her attention until they were disabled. Seemed things like this happened all the time in the city nowadays. Sirens blared in the distance, the authorities were on their way to arrest delinquents of some kind. The ones who broke in the building she assumed. Without further hesitation, she quickly dashed off on all fours and leaped from building to building until she came to a familiar one; broken down.. Home. She managed to hang down from the ledge using her tail until she reached a busted window in which the boards had been pulled off. Glancing around before crawling inside she caught sight of a female wolf wandering on the streets.
-
Aura had felt, the first time in his life, a pretense that wasn't friend or foe. What he saw was a grey aura that couldn't make up it's mind. Who are you Rigor?
-
"well" Zagreus said walking over to the large machine similar but not identical to the one in the boarded up building "time i was leaving" he said, pressing a communicator into Jaunt's paw "if your still alive when i contact you i may be able to help you find what your looking for" Zagreus continued, plugging the thick wire into the armor and fiddles with the dials on the machine until the metallic voice rang loudly "estimated time to [UKNOWN DESTINATNION] 1 minute('s)" He then ripped the control panel off so the port could not be traced and deactivated his helmet, reavealing the grinning thick black fur'ed wolf inside for a second before a bright light completelty engulfs him and the briefcase, and they re-appear on the same abandoned street he left off from a few hours ago.
-
Looked at the wolf a moment. "So Zagresu what we do now?" he asked watching as cars went driving by with sirens blairing and flashing. "What pathetic creatures." He chuckled and then looked at the wolf. "So what's the little toy for?"
-
*Kain staring at the two in front scanning there mind for somthing in case of trouble*
-
"Dang it they escaped!" he exist out of the hole "They got away Kain"
-
Rigor carefully made her way across the unstable boards that were the second floor of the building. She was somewhat surprised they had not demolished the place yet given that it was already condemned... Rigor made her way to a corner where a desk sat and crept under it. It was somewhat of a nest for her, or where she would come to relax anyway. Given the conditions of the city itself, alarms constantly blaring, the destruction.. It seemed like a condemned building was the only place to go to get away from it all when she wasn't in the mood to participate herself. Her mind was heavy with thoughts of her origin, wondering what the answers to her questions were.
-
*Folowing Aura through the hole *
-
following the security guard to the vault that he had just informed her, had been broken into, Mystique was busy probing his mind. he didnt like the fact a woman was in charge of the rest of the place. men! "these two let the villians escape!" he pointed to a finger at the two young men standing beside the hole. now using her mind to scan the one she thought was the leader of sorts, Mystique found the name Aura
-
"Correction" putting away his katana as he was trying to point out the error "We arrive to late. With one here and two trying to rob the place, She couldn't handle them by herself." as Aura walked up the security guard "Might I add that where were you when this was happening? Weren't you suppose to call for back-up? Maybe try to distracted them, so she can make a move? No? Well then, I see you have no place to talk." Aura walked up to Mystique "Are you ok? Do you need me to heal anything?"
-
"no thank you. i could have handled this, but i was ... caught up in an emergency" Mystique extended her hand towards Aura. "the names Mystique"
-
"well Jaunt, i will send you the co-ordinates of where i am located in the old slums. however the only way in and out is by a port station or air travel" Zagreus peered over at the small strange and completley metal structure hidden between two of the larger abandoned buildings, walking over to it slowly, the red of the armor gradually fading slowly. He fiddled a litte with the metal door a little to get it open and when he finally did get it open the space inside revealed several large deactivated screens mounnted to the wall and all kinds of wires and equipment scattered accross the floor "ahh, home", Zag said in a slight tone of relief, walking over to the other side of the room towards an indent in the wall, he sits down infront of it, opening the briefcase and gets the power cell out, holding it in his paw just staring at it then attatches the connector to the bottom of it with a small latch and pushes it into the indent slowly until it clicks in place "and we have power" he said grinning as the entire room lit up, the screens flickering on and the gradual whir of machinery starting up as the dials and buttons light up accross the room.
-
takes her hand and kissed it "And I am Aura, though I am sure you have read my mind. I apologized if you felt uncomfortable by that, I was raised old school" releasing her hand. " You have a gift that is very much needed. Please join me in our organization, for the better of Fur kind"
-
a little stunned, she pulled Aura aside. "uhm, how do you know about ... my gift?"
-
Zag got up excentricly and sat in the huge chair in the middle of the room, connecting some wires laying on the ground plugging them into the wall and turns a couple of dials on the control panel, causing images to appear on the screens of the city's crowded streets "ah ha, i see it still works" he said, stuffing what looked like an old sandwhich into his mouth and fiddled with the dials a little more till all the screens flick to different angles of the building where he stole the power cell from before, getting up to inspect one particular screen which had a couple of furs standing there infront of the building talking "hmm i wonder who they are, not civillians else they would have been escorted off already..." he muttered to himself softly, still staring intensly at the screen
-
took off his sunglasses, only to show milky white eyes. "My friend, your not the only one that can read people....though I read their auras. You can read my mind if you like and find that I am telling the truth"
-
"makes sense that your name's Aura. i dont hav to look into your mind. i can see you are telling the truth, but i cant join your organisation ..."
-
confused, Aura asked "Why not?"
-
"i have commitments and i need to look after my family. i cant just drop all that and leave!"
-
Zag turns up the volume from the monitor listening in to the conversation "hmm i see more people then i thought have a gift" he muttered to himself, downloading the images into the armor, unscrewing a piece of its plating whith a large chuck missing from it on his leg and replaces it with a less damaged piece laying on the ground amongst the mess.
-
Aura thought about it "Well then if you feel that what is best then I shall not pursue any further. But it case you ever need us" hands her a business card "Have a nice day Ma'am. Co'om Kain lets go!" as they exist through the hole.
-
Mystique watched Aura and Kain go and then looked at the buisness card. H.A.F.T. she put it into her pocket and walked in the direction of the doors. When she drove up to her home and went inside, the place was pitch black. "Aunt Z? are you in here?" when no answer came, she scanned with her mind to find her aunt. nothing. she went further into the room and turned on the light. the place was trashed. "this is a good time to call Aura". she got out the card, and phoned Aura.
-
As we exisit out of the building a cab was waiting for us "Com'on time to go home." As soon as they got into the cab, the diver went. 30 minutes later they arrived at a a ordinary house. "Welcome to your new home" smiling almost look like he is pulling a prank. Using the key, they enter to what seemed as a ordinary house. Aura pulled the lever behind the couch and the entire living room floor started to move down. When it got down low enough, another floor started to close the gap. They continued to lower down deep underground. The platform stopped and a door opened. "Mi casa, es su casa." walking out, showing Kain his room this is where you will be staying you can do what ever with it. It is now your room. Now the ki..." incoming message incoming message a electronic voice started to shout. "Well the tour has to continue at a another time let's go" Dashing down to the control room Aura replied " respond Message from Mystique
-
"Aura! i really need your help! call me when you get this x"
-
Still munching on his sandwhich Zag walks over to whats looked like some sort of meter "i see the batterys are all charged" he said flicking a lever next to the power cell and removes it caustiously, opening the armor's chest piece and clicks the generator in place into it then closes the plating up and seals it shut again, moving over to the control panel again and presses a button "computer, set up all jamming frequencies" he said clearly waiting for the reply "voice print [ZAGREUS] detected, setting up jamming frequencies now" a female voice replied from inside of the control panel. Zagreus moves towards the door back to the street and goes outside again. Nothing had changed on the street since Zag had returned there besides a small box like object supported by a long thin tube in the middle of the street, walking over to it, de-activating the armor on his right paw he places it on the reader and it makes a slight "ding" noise then theres a pause for a couple of seconds and suddenly an extremlley loud metallic clicking can be heard coming from underneath the strange looking metal building as it starts to treble slightly.
-
"call Mystique" the phone dials
-
hello? Aura?
-
"Mystique? Whats wrong?
-
"my house is trashed and my aunt is missing and.... oh god!" running upstairs "My brother is missing!"
-
"Don't worry Mystique I'll be right there." grabbed his katana and went "Kain, I know you wanna go but for now stay, it might be dangerous" half hour later a knock came on Mystique's door
-
Looked at the various monitors he examined them and the place the were in. "So Zag what's the plan now?" He said as he would start to lose his muscle mass and revert to a shrivled looking old wolf in a pair of shreaded jeans. He would then motion his hand in the air. His trenchcoat appeared on his body and so did his hat. "What are you collecting anyways?" He was a little curious. He was curious for what that core was for.
-
The door to the small building still being open and it seemed the building was rising up from the ground, Just noticing Jaunt had also been ported "you better hold on in there" he shouted at Jaunt over the loud metallic clicking, the building rising up more slowly revealing a larger angular structure under then small building, which now started to look like less of a strange looking metal building, but like more of some sort of craft "well you wanted to now what the core was for....well now you do" he said in his deep voice, grinning as he clambers up the side of the craft back into what used to be the building but looks more like the bridge of the ship now. "she's an old ship, not fast,barely even gets off the ground at all, engines need to be repaired but her weapon systems are some of the most powerful you can get"
-
Grinned as he held on. "so all that work for a broken toy?" He would then place a paw on his hip. He examined zag a moment as he would remove a scapel from the coat and stabbed it into his own arm around the bicep he then removed a chip that had a flashing green light on it. "This might be useful then it's a CPU from a super computer. Might kick this junk heap up a notch."
-
"dont you be calling her a heap of junk now" Zagreus snarlled at Jaunt, as he moved accross the control panel pressing buttons and pulling down on levers, the craft responding with the sound of a very large jet engine coming on, making the ground vibrate then it suddenly cuts out with a splutter "just needs a bit of work" he muttered to himself pulling a trap door open in the ground revealing the engine and weapon bay in the lower section, moving down the ladder into the cramped area and opens the maintenece hatch for the huge monster of an engine, looking around for abnormalities
-
Mystique heard the knocking on her door. Before she ran downstairs to open it, she checked with her mind who it was. Aura. Mystique sprinted to the door and opened it. :'(
-
Rigor was ripped from her thoughts when she heard a loud whirring sound from below.. She had never paid attention to what was below her on the first floor, she had only stayed in the abandoned second floor. She sprung up and came out from under the desk, hearing two voices below her. Silently, she took a few steps and found a crack in the floorboards to see what was going on below. The two characters she had seen earlier were there heading into a secret passage.
-
"hmm i see whats wrong" Zagreus said pulling out the fuel feeding system which has half of it shot off, he goes up the ladder, kicking some of the mess out of the way gently, looking for another similar one then holds the broken one up to Jaunt "dont suppose you have one of these then" he said slightly angrily, walking out of the bridge and jumps down onto the street below, staring back up at the ship which looked very surreal between the boarded up buildings on the gloomy street, he then turned around and stepped into the building where the port hub was in, sitting down on the floor rather then the perfectly chair gently as most normal furniture generally disliked the weight of the armor. "lets see now" Zag muttered to himself while looking down on a small screen on his armor which was showing some sort of map "....must be some old ship caches arouuu-Ah ha!" he continued as he focused on one location, the screen changing to one with many different numbers, opening the panel on his armor he typed some the numbers into it while getting up, walking up to the port hub, plugging in the thick wire "ha!, a heap of junk?! ill show you a heap of junk!" Zag said, connecting the communicator into his armor so jaunt will likewise be ported. "Estimated Arrival time to [THE OLD AIRBASE] imminent"
-
he hears the door opened "I am here, are you ok?"
-
"I'm fine! but i dont care if i live or die anyway! My only priority is my 4 year old brother and my aunt who is currently sick. Hang on two minutes," Mystique ran upstairs and ran back down changed into her blue jeans, black top and trainers with her hair tied back in a ponytail with her elastic band. "if we dont go now they might die"
-
Walking out of the light Zagreus looks around the deserted airfield, climbing ontop of one of the wrecks scattered accross the airfield as he flicks on the scanner on his visor to look for a compatible fuel feed system, the only noises being the wind accross the sand, creaking of the large metal ships and the faint noises coming from his armor as he moves "bahh this could take hours" he grumbled, jumping off the wreck and stares at the huge hangar like square building a little in the distance "come on Jaunt, in there is our best bet" Zagreus called back at Jaunt whilst pointing in the direction of the hangar like building.
-
As she ran upstairs changing, Aura saw glimpse of old residue of auras.Two of them were pure white auras the other two were grey. He followed them around the house and out through the door. Before he could go any further Mystique cammed out saying "if we don't go now, they might die." "Not necessarily. These are unprofessional kidnappers. They don't know what they are doing. They are broke and desperate, and they are hoping to come out lucky. They should be fine." assuring Mystique.
-
"they better be or the guys are gonna be in for it, not that they arent already" Mystique turned around to see the wrecked place. "so are we taking your car or mines?"
-
Inside the hangar where 2 massive ships with parts scattered all over the place, Zagreus started to rummage about through the parts until he eventually he found one that looked vaguely familliar to the broken one besides that half of it was not missing "hey i fount...the fue-...err" he said drifting off as he stares at the small recon ship, walking over to it slowly "hey this'll get us back, i doubt theres any functioning hub here" Zagreus said while sliding the power cell into the indent in the front of the ship slowly, the recon ship was a tiny thing only capable of carrying two passangers, it only had very light armor being a recon craft and no functioning weapon systems. Zagrues showed Jaunt into the seat at the back, putting large the fuel feed system on his lap and sits in himself in the seat infront, closing the roof ontop of them as he starts up craft.
-
Shiro sat by the radio transmitter that ran on the HAFT frequency. Bloody Aura had forgot to turn it off.
"Hey, Aura. I know you're blind and everything, but you COULD turn your com off occasionally. What's this about kidnappers? I'm in you're area if you need me. Just following a trail of bodies. Looks like we got a shapeshifter on the loose."
Shiro adjusted his binocs, special ones designed to sense aura's, although just HAFT personnel and really mean auras.
"Yep, bored out of my mind way up here, with nothin' to do but watch you pace..."
-
With a sudden uncomfortable feeling, Rigor burst through one of the boarded windows and landed outside on the ground. She looked around for any sign of people, but thankfully, there were no people herded around an condemned building. She took off on all fours searching for a place to go.
-
Forgetting that he had his ear piece on Aura heard Shiro "Thanks for letting me know." Aura turned to Mystique "We now have back up." as he lead her to his ride "We will be taking my cab" as they exited out of the building
-
"Mmm... you gotta wait for my entrance"
Shiro gathered all of his equiptment, including the M16A2 nicknamed "Eliza" after his wife died in the firefight that "killed" him.
*Thank god i am dead* he thought.
With that, he took about 12 feet of room, ran, and lept off of the building, sailing like a paratrooper down into the window of the room Aura was in.
"OOOOOOOOOFFFF!!" Shiro said as he landed.
He brushed himself off, and began setting bones back in their proper places.
"Tadaaa! Now could someone hand me a needle and thick thread? My shins are poking out of my legs..."
-
with his hand on him forehead Aura responded "Why? Why? This is a civilian resident.....Now we have to pay the damage" takes out his phone and dials a number "Yea we need a 3ma...Yea.....Ah uh.....Yup Shiro again.....Thank You very much" hangs up the phone and looks at Mystique "My I bother your for some thread and needles?"
-
"No, wait.... i think I got my set... BOYAH!"
Holds up a spool of thick thread and a needle. After a few minutes of setting and sewing, Shiro stands up.
"Woah... ok, maybe I should think again before doing that so often. Just thank frack we came up with morphine."
Shiro looked at the appartment (the part that didn't have a Shiro shaped hole in it).
"The mission got a little more dangerous. There have been reports of a shapeshifter. They are scattered so it may be anywhere. I jumped that far to make sure I wasn't him."
He smirked.
"So where's the party?"
-
rubbing her forehead, Mystique leaned against the chest of drawers. "well, i dont exactly know where they are. i tired to reach out to them but they're too far away".
-
"Yes Shiro They are shape shifter around but this isn't the case. This is a plain old kidnapping. Now com'on let get in my cab." Aura followed them out the door and into the cab. "In case you haven't read his mind, this is Shiro, Co-funder of H.A.F.T. Without him I wouldn't be able to convince the government to let us do this." as we moved further into the city. 30 minutes later they arrived at a shady apartment. "This is the place." getting out of the cab "Before we enter, Mystique promise me one thing."
-
"depends what it is. what is it?"
-
Aura took off his shades and puts his hand on her shoulders and looks at her in the eye. "No matter what the situation is, let me handle it. For your family please let me handle it."
-
Mystique lokked away "look, Aura, this is my family we're talkn bout. i need to at least help out in the end"
-
"And how will offering yourself will help them? They need you Mystique. Let me handle this and I promise you, with my life, your family will be safe."
-
"it's not that i dont trust you and i know they need me. im not going to die on this mission, but i have to try to save them as much as you both do"
-
sigh "Alright but trust me when I say it. Won't let anything happen to them" Aura turned to Shiro "Cut the lights"
-
"Yeah... more bad guys to wipe out!"
Shiro cut the cord on the lights. Seeing the expression he got from Aura, his explanation was short.
"Well, they are gonna be fixing up this place anyway."
-
Mystique pulled out her revolver nd pressed her back against the wall
-
Shiro looked at the gun drawn.
"Listen sweetie, I take point. The Reason? Because I am a walking bullet sponge. Anything that attacks has to get through me first."
He pats his M16A2.
"And my gun"
-
"i dont really care when it comes to my family, so your better keeping your mouth shut"
-
Shiro attempts to look down.
"What, is it hanging off again?"
He chuckled.
-
mystique, with her great night vision, walked over to Shiro "look, dont mess with me when im pissed and when my family's life is at stake. just remember that" she backed up again to the wall she was on.
-
Aura walks in there and grab hold of the two kidnappers "less dramatic, I know but they were scared out of their wits" the kidnappers looked as though as their where no one home in their head
-
looks behind Aura and the 2 kidnappers to see her brother and aunt tied up "oh my god!" she ran to them and untied them. her aunt fell to the floor. Mystique went to her side and checked her pulse. "uh, Aura *gulp* can i have some assisstence please?"
-
Shiro broke out his medical kit. (Shiro can be serious at times)
"What you need."

"Shiro take care of these guys I'll handle this." Aura ran by Mystique and her aunt .Aura can see the arua of Mystiques aunt slowly but surely pulsing. Critical level I need to act fast "She is having a heart attack. Stand by please" Aura place his hands on aunt's fore head and chest. Concentrating all his focused energy to heal the aura. Soon Aunt's face became relaxed. Aura panting for air, "She'll be fine"
-
Shiro put away the Med Kit
"Show off."
He walked over to the two kidnappers, and handcuffed them, muttering under his breath.
"You have the right to remain silent, well looking like zombies would help, anything you say..."
-
Chuckling at Shiro comment "Your the one to talk" couldn't help but smile "Ok time to go home" using his katana to get up
-
"Hehe, yeah."
He hustles them to the car after checking for weapons. He found a couple of guns, but nothing too big.
-
Mystique helped her aunt up and, with her little brother's help, made there way to the car. "thank you both for saving my family. will you be alright?" she asked aura. he looked paler than usual.
-
Pushing the kidnappers out the door shiro said, "Yeah, they'll be fine. I would be more worried about the kidnappers... and what i am going to do to them" Shiro smirked.
"Hehe, not really. I'll just put them in a cell."
He shoved them into the cab.
"Whoo. Thats the kidnapping over, how did it go?"
-
"i wud have liked to kick they butts but if your going to put them in a cell, then i better just leave it ..." Mystique hopped in the car.
-
Shiro climbs on top of car.
"Well, there is always room in a cell for some butt kicking"
-
"They will get what they deserved, I assure your that. And yes" smiling "I am fine. Healing auras isn't a easy job." Before Aura could get in the cab RING.....RING "Mmh?" his phone rang "Yes?.... Successful...Mmhm OK I'll be there soon. Shiro I have to leave for abit. Your in charge til I get back. We have a new member at home. His name is Kain. Show him some curtsy, He had it rough with his parents. Mystique, Your welcome to join us if you like, We will offer your family full protection. If you like. I must go my ride is here." Then a helicopter arrive, with a rope ladder, showing no sign of stopping or landing. Aura grabbed hold of the ladder and was swifted off. As he left, he showed a comforting smile, showing he will be fine. That is the last image they saw of him.
-
"Awww... come on! I never get the chopper!"
Shiro motioned to Mystique to get in the car.
"Come on, lets get you guys to a hospital."
-
"its ok, im fine. its just them im worried about" Mystique slid into the seat beside her brother and put an arm around him.
-
Shiro turned on the ignition.
"Ok, you might not need to go to the hospital, but they might. Hmm... Maybe i should take you to the local HAFT headquarters... Nah, hospital's better."
Shiro looked down at his stitched up arm.
"Just as long as they don't examine me. It would be like 'OMG A NEW EXPERIMENT!'"
He drove for a little while, when something caught his eye. Someone pulled a woman into a dark alley.
"Pardon for a sec, duty calls."
Shiro swerved into a parking spot, and took aim at the mugger.
"OK DROP THE LADY! DOWN ON THE GROUND!"
_______________
At the hospital, with contents of one aunt, one brother, Mystique, Shiro, two mindless kidnappers, and one real beat up mugger.
"Well, I will leave you to your family."
He hands her a card.
"I know aura gave one of these to you, but this has my phone on it. Call me if you get into trouble."
-
Mystique took the card "thank you. i might call you sooner than you think" She winked and saw a nurse about her brother.
-
Shiro nodded, smiled, then left for his car.
It was gone.
So were the two kidnappers.
*Oooookay?* he thought *Where is the car*
*Aura is gonna kill me if i don't find it...*
He went back into the hospital, asked for were the stairs to the roof was, and started climbing.
*The one thing i hate about recon is climbing the stairs...*
-
since Aunt Z and her little bro has to stay over night in the hospital, Mystique decided to go home and rest.
-
"Those rumors about when you are dead, you don't feel anything? Don't believe them. It is bloody COLD up here."
Shiro talked to himself while looking for aura's car. Lucky for him, Aura's car had Aura's aura surrounding it (oooh!).
"There you are! Near that old abandoned, scary, looking military base... that has alot of evil aura around it! Joy..."
Shiro whistled.
"One... two... four? Alot of evil down there... even for someone who cannot die!"
He thought a minute, then pulled out his Data machine, punched in the coordinates for later, and went back down into the hospital.
-
Zagreus gets out of the small scout ship, finally arriving back to the street which had the medium sized ship sitting in the middle of it "whoa im never doing that again" he said holding onto the side of the scout ship while taking the generator out of it, staring at the display on his arm showing the time "must remember to build a port system into this sometime....would've been much quicker" he continues while walking back over to the broken down ship with the new fuel feed system. He calmbers up the side of the ship, goes back down into the service hatch and clicks the device into where the old one last was, bolting it down firmly before going back up into the control room, closing the hatch behind him and sits in the large chair infront of the control panel "come on, i know you still work" Zagreus mumbled, flicking switches as a low power warning comes up on the screen "bah! low power my a-" he got up out of the chair annoyedly and slides the generator back into the indent, the ships engines starting to whir faintly as they startup. Sitting back in the chair Zagreus plays around with the dials a little and the engines roar loudly as they reach a quarter of there maximum power "a little more and were there" he muttered to himself, pulling back several levers, the sound of the engines getting even louder as the ship starts to slowly lift up away from the ground "we have lift-off"
-
Shiro's arm went off. His left one. He looked down at the computer strapped there.
"Frack... wish Aura was here... unlawful lift off in that sector with the evil aura's. Blast it all."
He ran out of the hospital, ran to his appartment's parking garage, and hopped onto his motorcycle.
*Frack. One of these days i am gonna get myself killed.*
He smirked
*Oh, yeah. Can't die... riiiiight. Just horribly mutilated.*
-
The ship slowly started to lift further off the ground, "ship" Zagreus called out "are all jamming frequencies still activated?" he continued as the ship started to move forwards as well rather then upwards "jamming frequencies active" the computer replied, the engines slowly turning backwards, the ship responding by moving forwards. The force of the Ship's engines caused the windows, doors and anything on the ground below to tremble violently "seems she still works" Zagreus said to himself, pulling back on the control colum a little as the ship starts to fly slowly into the distance towards where the lights of the city where.
-
"FRACK!!"
Shiro screeched to a brake when he saw the ship lift off.
"That cannot be good"
-
Zagreus plays around with the controls some more, the ship now steadily climbing upwards and huge panels at the bottom of the ship display whats captured by camera's at the top of the ship, effectivly creating kind of cloak. Getting out of the chair now Zagreus heads to the back of the control room, opening the hatch to the weapons and engineering bay and climbs down the ladder, staring at the weapons panel, arming a couple of switches "lets see if she can s-" Zagreus was interupted as the computers voice came on "UNIDENTIFIED BEING DETECTED IN NEAR BY VICINITY". He stares down at the scanner in his armor and looks at the tiny blip "hmmmm wonder what they want"
-
Elsewhere in the hospital a patient was seizing in his bed. The halls echoed with an alarm as he went into cardiac arrest. A doctor and two nurses came rushing in with a crash cart, charging the defibulator.
"Everyone, CLEAR!!" The doctor pressed the paddles against the foxes chest and unleashed a torrent of electricity into his heart. The life support system beep twice and continued its deathly scream. The nurses turned up the voltage of the paddles, unaware that the patient's skin just malformed itself as if something was slithering underneath.
"Again, CLEAR!!" The doctor pressed the paddles down once again and sent the voltage into the patient's heart. Suddenly an earpiercing screech came from the patients mouth, drowning out the alarm and the life support in its ferocity. Massive bladed tentacles burst out of the patient's chest like a madman's Jack-in-the-Box and tore at the unsuspecting support staff. One of the nurses was decapitated immediately. The other was torn in half and was still concious as she bled out. The doctor was hoisted high into the air as the roiling mass of flesh fell out of its now dead host.
A single amber eye bulged from the center of the mass and glared at the one who had caused it pain. Several smaller tentacles sprouted from the mass and embedded themselves into the doctor's arms, legs, head, and neck. The tendrils pale yellow color flushed into a deep maroon as they drained the doctor of his life's blood. Finished with its meal it drops the doctor, now a shrivled specter of himself, and turns to its old host.
It looks with disinterest at its old home as its pale skin turns pure white and begins growing fur. Anyone nearby could hear the cracking and popping of its body as it took a humanoid form. Soon the patient was searching his dead self, looking for the wristband that so commonly came with hospital visits. Finding it, he tears the arm from its socket to get a closer look at the wristband.
It read: Entaru Korin
"Entaru...I like it...thanks for the name meatbag." Entaru dropped the arm to the ground and, taking his hosts garments consisting of a brown sleeveless trenchcoat and khaki shorts, walked out of the room.
"Is anyone else feeling a bit hungry?......."
-
Mystique tossed and turned as she slept then eventually walked over to her window and gazed out at the stars. *hope everything is alright at the hospital* just then ther was a phone call. "hello?... yes this is her ... *gasp* wha ,, what happend? ... a fire? im on my way!" withoput bothering to change she lept out the window and raced off to the hospital. when she got there the place was ablaze.
-
Shiro's arm went off again.
"What, now i gotta go BACK to the... HOSPITAL!"
Shiro turned his bike around.
"Goddamit aura, the moment you vanish, the cuss hits the fan."
Shiro got to the hospital as it burned. He saw Mystique, and ran over to her.
"MYSTIQUE! What happened?" he said as he checked the readings on his arm computer.
-
"shut up a minute, im trying to get as many people out as i can and it's very difficult contoling 1000+ mids at once while talking" Mystique thought she got everyone out but there was still some in the building. "im going in!" She pulled her scarf right up to her nose and jumped into the fire.
-
Shiro shook his head.
"I'll get him."
He passed her and pushed her out of the fire.
A few moments later, he came out with a hapless rabbit over his shoulder.
"He'll be ok, just a little smoke got breathed in. Dam! Who could have done this?"
-
As the cab drove up the the hospital that I was told Mystique and her family were going to be at, I read all the fears of the auras. "Man what is going on"
-
Shiro looked up.
"Aura? WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN? Things are going crazy! Those two kidnappers stole the car, a recon scoutship lifted off, and there is a biological parasite aura in the area! THAT is what has been going on."
He looked back at the burning hospital.
"Mystique is over there. I have been trying to comfort her, but that's the best i can do."
-
Entaru walked away from the burning hospital, lighting up a cigarette and carrying an unconcious female patient over his shoulder. The fire he had started had caused more damage than he had hoped. The scent of burning flesh filled his nostrils. It seemed that the fire had gotten to the closet that he had locked the orderlies into. He set his packed lunch lady on the ground as he turned toward the burning building.
He as he breathed in the smoke from the cigarette it came billowing out of his nose. There was no trachea and lungs for the smoke to penetrate. His mouth was only for show, his real mouth was somewhere in his hands. He simply liked the way the smoke felt against his flesh.
He looked at the burning building with delight as he saw parts of it crumble. However he knew that he couldn't stay to watch it collapse on its own.
"Lets speed this up." Entaru spoke to himself with a grin. His arm changed into a large bladed tentacle and swiped a burning support beam that had been creaking under the weight that had been placed on its weakening frame. The beam shattered with the impact and thanked Entaru by giving him the sight that he wanted. The break started a chain reaction throughout the building as one by one the other support beams snapped at an exponential rate. The building swayed once more before finally crashing down, crushing those who were still inside.
The smoke billowed past Entaru as it escaped the rubble. It felt good...no, better than good...it felt incredible. Smiling, he turned away from the wreckage and, picking up the still unconcious woman, walked non-chalantly down the street to savor his meal in an alleyway.
-
Shiro looked though his binocs at the crumbling building.
"THERE! An aura! Not a friendly one at that, but he has something else with him. What can you 'see' aura?"
-
As the building fell Aura noticed a eerie aura"Yea, I see something. And he isn't furry." as he draw out his blade. "Follow me Shiro. Mystique, you stay with your family and see if you can keep the situation calm." Aura ran around the burning building seeing the the pure black aura. Aura ran up to the black aura putting the blade up to his throat "I won't tell you twice. Put the civilian down, now."
-
Entaru turned to the newcomer with disinterest.
"Why should I? I caught it fair and square. If you're hungry than find your own meal." His eyes and voice held all the emotion and warmth of a block of marble. "I imagine there are still plently of meatbags like this one wandering around here." Entaru turned away from Aura and waved his hand in a dismissive manner. "Now if you don't mind, I am rather hungry."
Entaru squeezed the woman's arm and punctured the skin with his fingernails. She awoke with a start and immediately began screaming as she became pale with blood loss. The fur of the arm holding her arm began turning red as the blood flowed through his fingers into his body. The woman stopped screaming as he dropped her drained corpse onto the cold ash-covered pavement. His entire right half was now a brilliant red as he walked away.
-
"Bad choice" Aura dashed towards him. Aura jumped and aimed his blade at the pure black aura
-
The blade fell onto Entaru's arm, severing it completely from his body. Entaru let loose an inhuman screech of pain as he grabbed the puss oozing stump and turned about. Entaru screeched in his own language.
It isn't hard to translate "I'm gonna kill you!" in any language however.
Entaru shifted his remaining arm into one of the bladed tentacles and swung at Aura with all of his strength. If he missed then anything that would be hit would be almost completely destroyed.
-
Aura drops down to the ground and quickly jabs his blade in a upward motion
-
The blade lodges itself in the tentacle, which is quickly jerked away in pain. Shrieking, Entaru swings the tentacle downward as another tentacle bursts from his side and swipes sideways.
-
A screen lit up inside the weapons bay in the ship displaying "enter FIRESTORM Co-ordinates". The Ship was now hovering above the city, completley invisible to any by-standers on the ground, the only hint that something was there was the far away sound of aircraft engines. "well, what seems to be going on here" Zagreus said sitting back in the chair staring at the monitors showing the scene of the destroyed hospital, Zagreus Chuckles to himself faintly "lets help a little shall we". he spun around on his chair and punched a wide radius bombardment where the hospital used to be. then flipped the arm switch and grinned as the little green light lit up on the fire button "bye bye". Zagreus presses the fire button and immediatley several tiny rockets shoot out of all sides of the ship, then head straight down where the hospital was. the barrage of mini rockets hit the ground engulfing everything in there small blast radius in flames.
-
Mystique saw what was happening but she couldnt stop it. when all those rockets landed and blew up the rest of the building, she was in the process of shuffling everyone to the nearest safe house. she went back for a baby and then the hospital blew. instinctively, she turned her back to it and shielded the baby. now she was hovering over her own body in amongst all the rubble and a fireman had the baby, which amazingly was still alive.
-
At the last second, the shock wave pushed Aura out of place of the attack. Hearing the screams of the scared auras he ran as fast as he could to the pedestrians.
-
Entaru was buffeted by the shockwave of the explosions but stood like a statue in defiance of its force. He watched Aura retreat with disdain. He had a feeling he would meet him again. Entaru walked to his severed arm and picked it up. It squirmed in his grip for a moment before it sensed its owner. Placing the arm against the stump, the arm reconnected itself. Entaru flexed the arm a few times to see if it was fully attached and walked to the street corner.
A crowd of civilains were standing there in awe of the burning building, unaware to what had just transpired in front of them. He squeezed his way through the people, tapping a few of them with a small stinger on his index finger. It felt like a mosquito had bit them, nothing more. Entaru slipped out of the crowd and into the street. He found and lifted a manhole cover and slipped into the sewers. Those he had stung would do the same in a few hours.
People were interfering with his hunting...and that he could not allow....
-
"MYSTIQUE!!!"
Shiro turned, switched off his safety, and pumped the tentically fox full of complete paralyzing rounds. He then dashed over to the rubble where Mystique's body lay.
"DAM! Don't you dare die on me!"
He pulled up her body, and grabbed the medical kit off his back.
"Come on... come ON!"
-
Unfortunately Entaru was gone before the bullets could hit him. Those he had stung squirmed a bit and left the scene realizing that there was nothing they could do to help. If anyone had seen Entaru sting the civilians they would have noticed that all those who were stung were female.
((Trust me when I say it matters))
-
Aura found two aura he is most familiar with, one of them was pulsing. No, Mystique. Aura ran as fast as he could to mystique and Shiro. "Shiro! Move!" placing one hand on Mystique forehead and one on her chest. Placing all his focused energy towards her aura. Com'on, com'on you can make it slowly but surely Mystique's aura returned to a bright solid yellow orange.
-
Shiro looked up at the smoke trails of the rockets. A low growl issued from his throat. Switching his goggles to heat sensitive, he spotted a lone figure sitting in the sky. He raised his gun and switched ammo.
"Ok, exta explosive sniper fox coming up... eat nitro you BA*****!!!"
One shell, mixed with an explosive and corroding substance, flew into the hull of the flying scout ship.
"YEAH! That is gonna sting in the morning."
He looked over at Aura.
"We don't have time for a flash healing. We need to get into a secure zone. That corrosive should stall that ship, but it won't disable it."
Shiro was going into soldier mode.
"Get to cover. I will take mystique."
-
using his katana to get up "I am done already. Shiro carry her outside and take her to the cab waiting outside. The cab driver will leader her to HQ and she will meet up with her family their. I have to go find that parasite that cause all of this. Here is a locater" handing Shiro a PDA. This will tell you where I am. Go now." pumped up with adrenaline Aura ran out of the rumble and followed the trances of the black aura.
-
A warning light flicks on as one of the stealth plates is hit "hmmm, must not be working to its full potential" Zagreus said, ejecting the corroded panel from the ship, showing a small segment of the non-cloaked area for a couple of seconds before a secondary panel slides into place. "will have to move to a safer distance now...." he said aiming one of the precision lasers at point of origin from the bullet "dont think you'll be doing much more to my ship" he said as he fired the tiny ultra presice laser at the scope of Shiro's Rifle, turning the lenses to dust, Then pulls up on the controls of the ship and moves it a considerable amount out of the way.
-
Shiro grabbed Mystique.
"Well haven't you thought of everything. Ok, I'll take her back and wait with her. Call me if you need backup."
He put Mystique over her shoulder and ran to the cab, only pausing to see his scope break.
*I'll fix that, get Mystique back on her feet, and take you out, you B*tard...*
Shiro brought her to H.Q., and put her on a bed. One of the nurses came and asked why he was still there.
"Cause' I wanna make sure she is ok."
He sat stitching up his arm where a chunk of metal was sticking out of.
"Anyway, i need to get patched up."
-
Another small light flicked on saying that the ship was now at 30,000ft "ahh, out of range now" Zagreus said with a little relief as he looked over the engineering screen only to see that a large portion of surrounding stealth panels had also been damaged and a few small holes had been left in the outer section of the hull. Zagreus quickliy flicked over a few switches which caused a sort of gel to ooze between the hull plates, filling in the holes and becoming completley solid in a matter of seconds.
-
the aura lead him to a sewer. As soon as Aura got down there everything went blank. He couldn't see a thing "Shiro I need your help, I can't see anything!"
-
Mystique had a dream that she was in a hospital bed surrounded by flowers and cards and a person in black was standing by her bedside and had his hood up. he reached a boney hand towards her and ... *coughs and wakes up* am i still dead?"
-
"No, you aren't dead... thank goodness"
Shiro was by a table putting together his gun, and talking to Aura.
"Yeah, aura. I'll be right there. You are right underneath H.Q."
He looked back at Mystique, and smiled.
"You're family are OK, they are in the next room over. I left you're pistol by the bedside. You should be ok."
He opened a sewer that was in the room.
"See you soon."
_______
"Aura, i'm here. Where is he."
He adjusted his nightvision.
-
After sitting for awhile, a familiar voice "Aura, I'm here. Where is he?" "Shiro? I am glad to hear ya. As soon I got done here, my vision went blank. I think there is something in the sewers that is affecting my ability. Please, me help out." reaching out for a hand.
-
Shiro handed him his hand.
"Here you go buddy. I am not getting anything... wait... yep, there is a psykinetic field down here. Anything that comes down here is out of our sites. No powers here, unless they are like my not being able to die. Follow me, there is a tunnel to HQ over here. I will seal it up behind us."
He lead Aura back to HQ, and into Mystique's room.
"Ok, what the heck were those creeps."
-
As soon as he got out of the sewer and into their base Aura can see auras again. "nice I can see again...where is Kain?" looking for Kain's aura but couldn't find it
-
He looked around.
"I don't see Kain, but I bet he is around here somewhere."
He looked back down at his gun, which he was modding.
"I mean, one attack is bad enough, but two of them, one after another, is just plain evil. Whoever these guys are, they need to be taken out."
-
Mystique heard the all too familiar voices and sat up a little "hey guys"
-
"I don't know We need to make a attack soon" he noticed Mystiques aura moving"Hey. How your doing, Mystique? Lay down. You've been in a terrible accident."
-
"don't remind me ..." She slumped bak down. "so wat are you two talking about? Our next great adventure no doubt"
-
"Yeah" pausing at the last remark "You finally joined us?"
-
"only if u want me"
-
Aura couldn't help but smile as he held out his hand for a shake "Welcome aboard. And your family is very much welcome to stay here."
-
Mystique could only nod and smile since her arm was broken in two places "thanks, i just hope they're doin ok"
-
pulling his hand away, placed it on the back of his head "Oh Right Sorry" chuckling out embarrassment "They are fine, you little brother wants to see you though"
-
"awww, he can come see me anytime, day or night, i dont mind"
-
Entaru made his way through the sewers, slithering as his true form when neccesary, to a small alcove just beside the cities subway system. As if to prove the point, a crowded subway train zoomed by the alcove filling it with the lights of the train car before disappearing into the darkness once again.
"Perfect. Easy access to food and hosts and hidden away from the prying eyes of those interloping meatbags. Time to send for the children." Entaru placed his hands on the sewer wall and began growling in a frequency far below normal hearing levels. The sewer wall vibrated with the noise and acted as a buffer, carrying the growl throughout the city's entire underground system. The sewer, the subway, the maitenence tunnels, all echoed with the reverberations of the growl. Anything akin to Entaru could hear the growl.
And they followed it...
-
(hey! we are all on!)
"Hehe, i didn't get to see you're brother yet."
He looked over at Aura.
"Anyway, you are right. But I still want to know, who the heck they were. That fox was no fox by my account. He didn't walk right. Anyway, those tentacles were a dead giveaway."
He thought for a moment.
"There was also that ship... how did they find such an advanced ship? I put a marker down at the site where it lifted off, but..."
He clicked his gun.
-
"woah, catch me up! a ship and an octo-fox? guess i missed a lot huh?"
-
"Oh yeah. Aura... care to fill her in?"
-
"no need, mind reading as we speak"
-
descending back to ground level on the outskirts of the city Zagreus climbed the ladder back up into the bridge and activated his helmet again. another light came on, this time a warning light as the ship was only a couple of seconds away from touching down the third engine cut off suddenly and tilted the ship back slightly "uhhh....not good" Zagreus muttered to himself as the ship landed slowly a little out of balance.
-
Entaru waited patiently in his new lair, as the women he had stung earlier came in one by one. There were five of them in all, each with eyes staring vacantly into nothing. All of them were in either pajamas, underwear, or nothing at all and seemed to be pregnant, when only hours ago they were fit and trim.
Entaru knelt down in front of the closest girl, who was no more than 17, and placed his ear against her exposed stomach. Inside he could hear something scratching and clawing at the girl's insides, trying to break free. Entaru smiled and pulled his head away.
"Don't worry, little one, Daddy's going to help you." Entaru extended his claw and, with the skill of a surgeon, sliced the girl's stomach open and reached inside. "Now grab onto me...no, let go of her spine and grab my hand...that's it..." The girl suddenly went limp and collapsed to the floor as her driver left its makeshift cockpit.
Entaru's hand slipped out of her as she fell and in his hand was a tiny mass of flesh the size of a baseball, holding onto his hand with tiny tentacles. The creature put out its tentacles and Entaru put it up to his face as it slid its tendrils across the fur on his muzzle. Entaru then placed it on his shoulder.
"C'mon, lets get your brothers and then you all can eat." Entaru walked to the next woman and extended his claw once again.
-
"so were cleared then first the ship then the tentacle monster" gets up from his seat "With that lets get some rest we got a big day tomorrow"
-
Mystique slid out her bed "alright, you guys go ahead and rest. im going to check in on my brother and Aunt Z"
-
"Sure, sure. I will stay here, to make sure mystique is safe..."
-
"You can make sure she is fine, outside. I am sure she wants some alone time with her brother." showing him out the door. "Need anything use the button on your left. and if you want we can move you with your Auntie."
-
giggling mystique said "no thanks, if she needs me, she knows what to do" while tapping the side of her forehead. "she's a psychic, so we can talk on two levels"
-
"Ok then Good night, sleep tight. I will be in the room down the hall, I am working on something." and closed the door
-
"Hehe, that means he is gonna blow something up... gnight.."
Shiro walked out the door and to the gym, he worked out to techno music like "Hader, Better, Faster, Stronger."
-
"goodnight guys" mystique switched the light out and snuggled down in her bed
-
As Aura worked on his project, he noticed that he was bobbing his head to daft punk, He gots some good taste.... after awhile of thinking, Aura got up and went to were Shiro was "You wanna spare?"
-
He turned his head.
"Heh, sure... Just to warn you... i have gotten a little faster since last time."
He leaped off of the balance beam into a fighting pose.
"I don't need my combat knife to best you" He grinned.
-
Aura closed the door "Fine I shall give you a handy cap as well" smiling because the last spare gave him memories "I still can't believe we were banned in that county" Aura went over to the stereo and turn it up. "Ready?" getting to pose
-
Slamming the the door open Zagreus jumps down onto the ground and inspects the massive engine which has what looks like a type of rust forming on the intake of it "hmm that wasnt there before" he said , moving around to the other side of it he spots where the ship was hit and runs his paw slowly over the slightly damaged panels, switching on the scanner in his visor "a simple corrosive caused that....must be something wrong with the ships auto-repair" he muttered getting a screw driver out of the service hatch on the engine. a couple of hours later the engine was completley stripped of the damaged panels, now laying on the ground beside the ship, nearlly completley consumed by the rust. Zagreus was laying down ontop of the hull of the ship next to the huge dual mounted cannons, staring up at the stars unable to do anything else until the ship was done re-constructing temporary hull plating.
-
Shiro had vanished while he turned on the stereo. Then a voice echoed off the walls.
"You shouldn't monologue, people vanish when the monologue."
His chuckle echoed menacingly off the walls.
"I know you can see aura's, but not all of me still has my aura..."
The lights dimmed.
-
Mystique couldnt believe she was having a good sleep in like, forever, but she new it wouldnt last as a message popped into her mind. "sorry to wake you, but your brother cant sleep. can he please come into your room?" moaning a little she replied "sure he can. send him in ..." she heard the sound of little feet comin into her room and a little body coming in beside her. "bad dream?" "uhu. it was really scary this time mysty! you were in it then big, evil clowns came and took you away. i couldnt help you at all and" "shhhh its ok. im not going anywhere. you know i wouldnt leave you and there are good people who are protecting you and Aunty ZeeZee. try and go to sleep ok?" "ye, can you tell me a story first please? my favourite one" "alright but just the one, because your big sis has to get better and you need to sleep"
Once he was asleep, mystique wrapped her arm around him and fell asleep herself.
-
Entaru looked upon his brood with pride as they fed on their mothers. They had grown, if only a little, in the few hours that they were alive. They would never reach his size or intelligence however and that saddened him, but only a bit. Even if they were his children, the only creature he deemed worthy of survival...was himself. His children were just cheap imitations of his evolutionary beauty. They would die for his cause...whether they wanted to or not.
Entaru watched as the Spawnlings finished their respective meals. They slithered over to their father, bellies full, and awaited his commands. Entaru released another low frequency growl and the Spawnlings made their way to their targets. One was headed for a large apartment complex, two were headed for the local stadium, another made its way for another hospital, and the last had a special mission. The interlopers had left a scent trail, making them incredibly easy to follow. It would stay out of sight and radar range as it spied on the members of H.A.F.T..
-
Chuckling at the Idea that what Shiro thinks... Every part of Shiro still haves his aura on him, even if it small it still brights clearly. Aura can read ever thought he can posses....the only troubling part of Shiro is, he only relies on instinct more than anything else.
-
"Got you're back" shiro's voice echoed, as a dismembered fox hand leapt off of a desk directly behind Aura, and grabbed his head, controlling the way he looked.
A leg flew out and hit Aura in the stomach, after the hand forced Aura to look away from the leg.
-
Aura grabbed hold of the foot, then twirled his body around. Aura can see the small amount aura flying as he kept twirling around and around. Eventually letting go as the body hit the wall, thud against the floor. Aura quickly got into pose as the aura spread out again.
-
In the middle of the twirl, the hand attatched to the back of his head spun his head in the opposite direction, making the twirl fail, as the body sweeps the legs out from underneath Aura, and the second hand and second foot pin his arms.
"You know, if you could see, this would probably be terrifying. Guess i also need to work on that."
-
Back inside the ship Zagreus saved the co-ordinates of where the ship was into the armor before he pulled down on two large levers which controlled the loading doors at the back of the ship before he leapt back outside to inspect the rather large 6-wheeled vehicle in the cargo hold "you'll do for now then" Zagreus said, opening the door into the light ground assault vehicle. The G.A.V was like a large off-road truck that was rather high off the ground with dual roof-mounted rocket launchers and light armour plating which was completley matte black in colour. Zagreus started the G.A.V and backed out of the cargo hold, then turned onto the road back towards the city.
-
Mystique woke up when she heard thuds coming from another room. she got up and went to see if everything was okay, when she saw Shiro missing body part and Aura's head turning. she walked into the room and cleared her throat
-
"Hold on for a minute" Aura does a Body Rock, sending Shiro's body parts flying. "Now, Yes?"
-
rolling her eyes at Aura, she looked back at shiro "whats up with you guys?"
-
"Uh?" trying to deflect all of Shiro's attacks. "Oh, this?" ducking and weaving "We are sparing....It's ok, though last time we spared we made over 500,000 dollars worth of damages...Don't ask how" Then Aura dashed up to Shiro's torso and open palm fisted it, knocking out his breath
-
Zagreus skids to a stop in the middle of a crowded street "now lets see who thye were...." he mumbled to himself as he got out out of the G.A.V and pulled out his Gunblade, targeting pedestrians at random, disabling eight of them with single shots before having to reload "that should do" Zagreus said, watching the radar screen carefully on his armor, the street now completley deserted besides from the bodies on the ground. the sound of screams and tires screeching in the distance.
-
Shiro, whos head is not attached to his body and therefore has no breath to lose.
"Hey Mystique... one sec, let me pull myself together."
The torso retrieted, and the arms and legs and head returned.
"You did well, aura. You forget i was trained by a former spetsnaz for close range."
He cracked his head back into position, and walked over to mystique.
"That's why he keeps me around, so i can take out the human opponents."
-
Zagreus Drags the last of the bodies onto the sidewalk and clambers ontop of the building, peering down at the street from the roof still looking down at the radar "hmmmm..."
-
Had to smile about what Shiro said "Yea I tend to over do something thing, most of those damages were to do me." Chuckling with his hand on the back of his head. "Well I think that's the end of that spare, good night I will continue my work and see you all tomorrow" leaving the room back to his.
-
"Heh. Looks like our princess is awake"
He did a little bow.
"How can this humble undead special forces help such a pretty little princess, you're highness?" he said with a huge grin splitting across his face.
-
"i'm no princess and im used to sparing because i do karate, but no one would ever verse me because they would all get beaten up, seeing how i can anticipate there every move before they make it" Mystique grinned and went to the door "guess i'll see you in a few hours"
-
"I think she wants to face you!" Yelling from down the hall. "She know she can't with that broken arm....I thought I fixed that!" continually yelling form the down the hall.
-
Shiro smiled wider.
"Heh. I would love to spar..."
He flicked his head in the direction Aura went.
"But my buddy is right. You shouldn't be with a broken arm..."
he thinks about it for a sec, then reaches down and breaks his arm.
"There, we are even." He said.
Feeling the look Aura most likely gave him, he snapped it back into place.
"No, serously... you need anything Mystique?"
-
"well, it would be great to have my arm fixed, but oh well"
-
"Well, with Aura's healing abilities, you should feel better soon."
He sat down next to his locker in the Gym, opened it, and got out his Jacket.
"Sorry, being dead is quite cold."
-
"HEY AURA!" Mystique put her head out the door and shouted "come back here please!"
-
He came over to mystique.
"Mind if I take a look at that arm? I am no healer, but i understand enough Anatomy to figure out the damage. Maybe Aura healed the wrong thing?"
-
she held up her arm to Shiro "ye, jst be careful coz this is sore"
-
Shiro put his gloves on, and felt the arm.
"Hmm... its a fracture all right... but..."
He shook his head.
"AURA! I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HER HERE FIRST! YOU STILL AREN'T THE BEST AT QUICK HEALS!!!!"
He looked back at Mystique.
"That stupid... he healed the wrong part of you're arm. The fracture is much higher than he got to."
He looked reassuring.
"Don't worry. It won't be a minute to fix."
-
"i hope so" mystique leaned against the lockers and yawned "i also hope he hurries up"
-
"He probably got distracted."
He sat down on a bench.
"So tell me... you can read minds so you allready know my question, but who are you technically. Most i know is you run alot, get blown up, and have a family that are very special to you. What else is about you."
-
laughing she said "i'm like a closed book. how's that?"
-
"And everyone else is wide open to you? Come on. You have the keys to the world. You know my history..."
He stopped.
"Wait... I am dead, so CAN you read my mind? It is a little rotten..."
-
"HEY HEALING THE DEAD ISN'T EASY YA KNOW!" Yelling from his room. "Hold on I 'll be there in a second." The sounds of wrenches falling and tool box falling filled the room "DANG IT" moments later "OK the only reason why I couldn't fully heal her is that Healing takes tremendous amount of energy. The first time I heal the dead, it nearly took my life so, I had to stop before I died, know that we all understand that, lets take a look." Aura place his hand on her forehead and chest and start to focus his energy towards the wound.
-
"only sometimes can i read your mind Shiro, not always, like i didnt know you were going to ask me that question. what do you want to know about me anyway?"
-
"It is really easy to block someone from entering your mind, You just have to have a strong mental mind to do it." sitting on the ground after healing Mystique.
-
"i've already felt you doing it, Aura and thank you for healing my arm. now i'm going to bed. see you guys in a few hours"
-
"And I have a strong mental ability? Me, with the rotting brain?"
He laughed.
"I'm just luckey I guess."
-
"Your welcome, No fighting until tomorrow. Lights out every one, and Shiro keep the music down." as Aura exited out of Shiro training room.
-
"and i was so lookin forward to beating up Shiro" grinning Mystique walked back to her room
-
"You wish" he said grinning.
He layed down on his floor matress, and turned on his stereo to some mix of rave/rock/alternative/electronic/touchey-feely music.
He slowly fell into a sort of meditation that was as close to sleep as Shiro could get.
-
when mystique got back to her room, her brother had left, so she searched her mind, because she is such a worrier, and sighed as he had just gone to his own bed "jeez, that boy is going to kill me one day"
-
Hearing sirens far in the distance Zagreus's armor starts to faintly glow red in the darkness of the night, He pulls out his gunblade and reloads it with live ammo rather then dark ammo and stares into the darkness, pausing for a second to look up at the stars before flicking on the nightvision in the armor and adjusting it so that the glow of his armor and gunblade dont blind him.
-
THE MORNING AFTER
-
Shiro woke up to find that his music was out.
"Power's out again... Darn."
-
when mystique's alarm went off, she decided to knock it off the table and let it smash on the floor. "too cold to get up ... cant be bothered" then she went back to sleep.
-
He smacked the top of the the player, and the music started up again.
"Nggg... guess it's time to get up."
Shiro stretched, bones cracking into position.
"Aaahh... time to give aura my wake up call."
He picked up a rusty trumpet and went into the hall leading to Aura's pad.
-
Aura slept quietly on his work station, leaving a little drool on his new invention. Then a loud and out of tune trumpet came to play "AAHH!!!!" Shocked and awake. Aura look at who was making the noise. "Oh" rubbing his eyes "It's you Shiro. For a minute I thought someone was torturing a elephant. Morning already?"
-
Shiro grinned.
"Yeah, its morning. Lets go get Mystique and take out those two dark Auras. I'll assemble my stuff and see if there are any other operatives available."
-
"no need to get mystique ... mystique is already here and in a very bad mood" she didnt bother doing her hair or get changed when she went to find the person who woke her up "can I please see that trumpet for a minute?"
-
Shiro looks a little scared and hands the trumpet over. Then take's his ears off and covers them up.
"Sorry? Oh... crap i am dead aren't I..."
He paused.
"Wait, I already am... :D"
-
Mystique grabbed the trumpet and ran for it. if shiro cant have it, he cant play it and wake me up.
-
"Come now children...." Yawning for a bit, then look over the messengers bags. "Wait! I have yet to test out my new inventions." picking up three messenger bags
-
Mystique ran into her room and went back to her bed, with the trumpet
-
Ran in Mystique's room and slips a ring on his finger "Here give it to me" taking the trumpet and and place it in the messenger bag "Yes! Success!"
-
"you better not give him that back or you'll be sorry" she said before lifting the covers over her head
-
Open it and you will find nothing ^_^
-
"good ... now can you go away?"
-
Shiro walked into the room
"Come on. Those guys are still at large."
Seeing how she wouldn't move, he added to Aura. "looks like its just gonna be you and me."
-
Ok, I made the best thing you could ever carry, they are called A.W.C.(Artificial Wormhole Carrier). What it is is that it can carry any item of any size with ease. The best part is it has unlimited space. You can carry food, water, weapons, anything. There is couple things that has couple down sides. Like if you leave a live grenade in there...there is the possibility that it could create a black hole that could swallow the entire city....
-
Parked in an alleyway Zagreus steps out of the G.A.V and walks over to its small particle cannon mounted on the side of it, Ripping a single panel off of his Armour Zagreus removes the cannon from the G.A.V and mounts it on the side of his arm, connecting the wires and exaust valve from the cannon into the armor and the cannon starts up, the barrel lighting up bright white before he powers it down again "that will do nicely" he muttered, getting back into the G.A.V and heads back towards the crowded city center.
-
slowly taking her head out from underneath the covers, mystique moaned "since it doesnt look like im going to get any peace, do you want me to come?"
-
"Yes that would be nice" seeing how no one cares for his new invention..... "Alright, meet up in 20 min"
-
"20 MINUTES!!!!!!! you expect me to be ready by then?"
-
"Unless you plan on doing you're hair before going into battle, yes..." He grinned.
"Hey Aura. Awesome... kinda dazed off there. Could I use one? I should put some stuff in there for today. You know... extra ammo, bombs, rockets... you know, standard stuff."
-
Mystique rolled her eyes "i wasnt talking about my looks ..."
-
Shiro's grin widened
"Then what were you talking about?"
-
while climbing out of bed and grabbing clothes she said "i have to say goodbye you know"
-
"You mean laters? Goodbyes are forever." closing the door on his way out
-
she rolled her eyes and said "ye, laters" she went into her closet and got changed
-
Shiro grinned even more.
*God shiro, you are grinning like a lunatic! What is so special?*
He walked off, shaking his head, and grabbed a bunch of ammo out of his locker.
*Wow, even with all this stuff in here, it is as light as a feather* he thought, testing his bag.
-
Aura was packing his bag for everything "flash gernades, hand gernades, cluster bombs, c-4s, claymore, medic kit, daggers, really long sword....mmm there is something missing..."
-
Mystique cam eback out dressed in her usual style, faded jeans and a black top. since she was going on a mission or watever, she decided a ponytail is required. she found Aura eventually. "missing something?"
-
"Yea there was something I wanted to put in the bag as well....." putting his paw on his face, pondering... "Now I know!" he went to the closet door. "My giant sword collection." The closet is a giant hall for of swords, Aura couldn't help but smiling when ever he gets into his collection "Ok bring my bag over here. I need to get them all in there." There was all sorts of swords for all sorts of things. His favorite ones are the one, closest to him. A giant broad sword, really long katana, and a tonfa.
-
she handed him his bag "can you get everything out again?"
Post Merge: February 12, 2010, 08:57:12 PM
"i mean, without chopping your arm off?"
-
(LOLOLOL this is what happens when jad uses IE for a change >.<)
Pointing the cannon up at one of the taller buildings in the distance Zagreus arms the cannon and grins "this should attract enough attention", He uses his other arm to support the cannon and fires it straight into the building causing a massive explosion and a large chunk of the building to come crashing down.
-
"The rings on my finger should help out." reaching inside, he pulled out the really long sword by the handle "Well, then that solves that. Um, for weapons you need to ask Shiro, he is our weapons expert."
-
Charging the cannon again Zagreus fires another shot into the building, completley obliterating anything that was left of the top of the massive building
-
Shiro ran into the room
"Sorrytoinvadeyou'reprivacyAura... guy just blew up a building... youlookgreatMystique..." Tosses her a Magnum"Notime to talk! We gotta get him!"
He ran out of the room
-
Zagreus stood in an alley nearby his G.A.V staring at the building and looks down at the screen with small blips moving towards where the building was.
-
Mystique giggled despite the news "here we go again!" she grabbed her revovler, knife, two swords, bow and arrows which she put around her back and heaed out after Shiro
-
Shiro ran over to his bike.
Jumping on, he called behind him.
"Mystique, jump on! We gotta move!"
He talked into his arm computer.
"Alert alert, all available fursonel get to the building that just exploded, ASAP. We have a SNAFU situation here."
-
Mystique jumped on the back and wrapped her arms around Shiro's waist "hit it!"
-
A couple cracks when through shiro's head, but he stifled them. Shiro punched it.
The cycle moved along the parking lot's driveways, until it came to a ramp leading off of the 5 story building.
"Hold on tight..." he said as the bike sped up, and he pressed the radio button. Epic music started coming out of the speakers, and the bike leapt into the abyss.
-
tightening her arms, she closed her eyes as they went over the ramp
-
"Silly Shiro, Bikes will kill yea. Jets will get ya places." The backyard opened up and a jet flies out. "Ok, you guys go for Wormy, While I destroy the ship in the sky"
-
Shiro called over his com.
"Wormy? I didn't get a report that he was here. Lets just focus on the other jet. You distract him, and I will set up a rocket position and fry his" here he used a word that rhymes with crass. "Lets take this sukka out! And don't forget, just because the first time you drove a bike you had a fight with a parked car, which you lost, doesn't mean that I can't drive one."
He landed on the roof as he said that. Continuing down buildings until he found one that wasn't too far, but was out of sight of the giant jet. He slowed to a halt.
"Last stop, everybody off."
He dismounted and started pulling rocket launcher bits out of his new satchel.
"So, how was the ride?"
-
SIGH "For the LAST TIME, I am blind! I need to learn how to read non-animated object's aura" (making this face --> -_-) "Ok I'll try to distract him and I'll try to distract him and you blow up the ship." Aura flew the jet in beside of the ship. Aura spoke into the intercom. "You are arrested for attempted murder, destruction of public property. Comply"
-
Shiro clicked the last bit into place, and pulled out a strange looking rocket. On the side was emblemed "Suck it down!" and shiro's signature.
"Heh. You know what this is Mystique? It is a chemical warhead, condensed to rocket launcher size. Instand melting of metal and steel. Only drawback though is no explosion. So, it will dissolve anything, just not blow up."
He aimed at the jet, turned on the targeting system.
*Target locked. Initializing tracking.*
"Fire already...come on!"
*Fireing"
The rocket sped towards the ship, hitting it in the butt.
-
staring up at the jet Zagreus aimed the cannon up at the Jet he pinpoints its engines through the armors precise targeting and fires a shot directly into its engines, Moving over back into the G.A.V and revs its engine speeding off down the street under cover of the buildings.
-
The jets alarms went off the hook. "Ok if that is your answer I will take you down personally." Moments later the jet started to rock violently. The jets system went haywire. F**K "Aura to Shiro, Aura to Shiro. I am hit, I will board enemy ship alone." Aura hit the ejection button, and shot out. Great there goes couple off inches on my spine (face -_-) Aura pulled out the ear piece out of his AWC "Shiro you still using your ear piece?"
-
Zagreus flicks a row of "arm" switches which where all marked "flares" above them and drives into the main street way from the center but in plain view "dammit where did they come from" he muttered, struggling with the wheel, the G.A.V's massive engine roaring as it sped down the street.
-
Aura flew over to the ship, he realized that he was going too fast. Crap I gotta cut the rope. Aura pulled out his his sharpest blades "Please god let me land this." Aura cut the ropes as soon as he got close enough to get on it. He felt the wind rush past his face. SLAM He hit the ship hard, but it served his purpose. The blade manage to cut through the metal like butter. Either this is really good blades the government gave me, or the metal is weak With hit pull and stab, Aura grew tired. Eventually he reach to the top. Laying low he look for a hatch.
-
mystique got off the bike and stood beside shiro "im more used to riding on the road and dirt tracks, not buildings, but that was fun" she grinned
-
The ship being in self repair mode instantly repaired its outer hull releasing an ultra toxic gas into its surroudings as a self defense mechanism along with several deafening alarms before the huge generators of the ship started.
Back in the G.A.V zagreus stared down at a small alarm that went off on the console on his arm "hmmm, well thats simple enough to deal with" Zagreus muttered as he pressed one of the buttons on his armor then quickly puts his hands back on the wheel and fights with it to get around a sharp corner, the 6 tires screeching as it lurches around the corner, bumping into one of the buildings on the side of the street a little.
At the ship a loud voice echoed out of its hull "EMERGENCY TELEPORT ACTIVATED, TIME TO [UNKNOWN DESTINATION] 0 SECONDS". as quickly and abruptly as the voice appeared, it dissapeared with a blinding flash into thin air along with the massive ship, leaving any organic matter behind.
-
Shiro loaded a new rocket, an EMP version, and locked on the GAV.
"Yeah, i am still here Aura... By the way, I packed a parachute in you're bag if you need it. Just occurred to me."
He loaded, locked, and fired.
The ensuing blast took out all electronics down on the ground, including the G.A.V
-
Still Driving from the sheer momemtum already created Zagreus pulls on a large lever in the Floor a couple of times and the loud roar of the engine starts up again "heh, engine is mechanical" he grinned as he was close to the edge of the city, he stared down at the blank navigation panel infront of him and growled softly "wont get rid of me that easy" he muttered speeding off down the road.
-
Shiro loaded another round, a last special missile.
"Dam... down to my last one. Here goes my Hellfire..."
THe missile flew out of the barrel, and broke into many different missiles, each targeting the GAV.
They struck precision points, like the weels, engine, and the viewport. Then they latched on, dug their explosives deep into the hull, and detonated, ripping apart metal. And since the electronic repair system was deactivated, this was going to be messy.
"Hey, Mystique, what is going on through his mind now?"
-
the G.A.V crashes into a building ahead of it in flames and then a couple of seconds later explodes, raining rubble down on the street....
at the same time in an office building overlooking the crash site a bright light appears then fades to reveal Zagreus in its place in his thick armor, now steadily pulsing with a red glow "that was close" he grinned as he patted off some of the dust on his armor and re-armed the cannon mounted on his arm.
-
As Aura exhale, a gas shot out of the entry way he made with the blade. Aura quickly covered his face and got out a medic kit. He pulled out a needle and drew blood. Later he pulled out a BCA(Blood Cell Analysis) The little machine flashed red for a few seconds, then flashed green. Sighing with relief, he got a feed from Shiro "Yeah, i am still here Aura... By the way, I packed a parachute in you're bag if you need it. Just occurred to me." "Thanks I am trying to find a way in though only air ducts....sigh I guess I have to go through their. You know Shiro for some odd reason, I can see the ship."
-
("organic matter" means no people, insects, bacteria nothing BTW. and its ported FARRRR away X3 so theres no way you could see it)
back at the original landing site of the ship, the holographic projectors's power source had run out, along with it the "illusion" of the ship.
"dont think theres anyway im driving that bacK" zagreus muttered staring down at where the G.A.V crashed then looks up at the panel on his armor to scan for a port hub nearby. "there must be another way out of here"...
-
"You mean it has an Aura? Creepy... well things just got worse... looks like our mystery jetster is still alive... I'd say he is wearing... Really heavy armor... arm mounted cannon... and he just survived the blast..."
He looked up from His binoculars.
"Daaaaam... this is going to be a long day... Mystique, lock and load... we got business to attend to."
He muttered.
"At least we slowed down his escape... i hope..."
-
"we cant be sure if we did, or if we gave him an opening or a give away" Mystique turned to get back on the bike
-
Zagreus clambers up a couple of flights of stairs in the building and reaches a large room, its floors and walls completley made out of metal with a large device sitting in the corner of the room, not completley unlike a normal transport hub "ehh....that'll do" he muttered looking over to the small plaque on the side of it saying "industrial transport only". Grabbing the connector from his armor Zagreus wires it into the non-standard connector and types in the last given co-ordinates of his ship "industrial enough i gues" he muttered looking down at his armor and activates the transporter.
a couple of seconds and a lot of smoke pouring from the machine later, Zagreus appeared at where the ship was and falls onto his knee's for a second "a little rough....but effective" he said, coughing a little then gets up and looks at some sort of crash site with the indents of the ship's landing pads in the dust. "huh?" he exclaimed as he stared down at the control panel on his armor then just stood there and a couple of seconds later, facepawed and muttered to himself..."oh right....must have put the old co-ordinates in*
-
(I can fix it)
"Well that doesn't sound too good." as soon as he said that the ship started up. "I'll call you back" Aura tried to find a entry as quick as possible but the ship was their one moment, and it was gone the next. Aura was falling. Crap I am falling aren't I? Where is that parachute quickly putting on the parachute, quickly saved his life. "Shiro the ship has disappeared. I can't see it anymore. And what is weirder is I can now see the City, I think their was something in the gas that was sprayed out of the ship."
(better?)
-
"Well the Jet guy just went off our radar... wait... you are falling?"
He leapt onto his bike.
"Come on... we have a blind dude to catch."
-
she got on and held on to Shiro "lets hope we get there in time, but knowing how you drive, we'll be early"
-
Shiro smiled.
He made the jump off of the building, and flying towards the spot Aura would be when they passed by.
"MYSTIQUE! WHEN WE GET TO HIM, YOU HAVE TO CATCH HIM! I'LL DEAL WITH THE LANDING!"
-
"THANKS! GIVE ME THE HARD JOB!" she was already looking up at the sky
-
"HARD JOB? YOU WANNA TRADE PLACES? I'D BE HAPPY TO!"
-
"NEXT TIME" Mystique looked all around until she caught sight of the parachute "THERE HE IS. I'LL GET HIM NOW"
-
"well this is nice" Zagreus muttered sarcasticly as he sat down on the dust and prodded a couple of buttons under a panel on the underside of his arm. "well....will take some time for it to get here" he continued as he observed how far away the ship was in relation with where Zagreus was.
-
"SHIRO! MYSTIQUE! YOU NEED TO HANDLE AMOR GUY! I CAN HANDLE MYSELF!" yelling over the wind.
-
"HE DISSAPEARED! HE IS OFF THE RADAR! PLUS THIS IS MORE FUN!!!"
-
*mystique tightend her arms around Shiro's waist* "YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!" *grins*
-
"SEE I TOLD YOU YOU WOULD HAVE FUN!"
-
"YE I KNOW. YOU'D HAVE MORE FUN IF I WAS DRIVING"
-
"YEAH BUT I CAN'T DIE. YOU CAN. YOU SHOULD TRY JUMPING OFF THE EMPIRE STATES BUILDING SOME TIME! ITS FUN!"
-
"BEEN THERE. DONE THAT. BUT IT WAS SKY DIVING. MORE FUN"
-
(Wow we are in the air for a long time... it's like in one of those movies... ;) )
"YEAH BUT DID YOU LAND ON YOU'RE FEET?"
-
"WELL MY RIDES IS ALREADY HERE!" a Shelby Cobra with no driver starts to drive along the road. Aura lands into the diver seat and headed towards the city. "Now what do you mean he disappeared?"
-
Shiro lands the bike next to the car with a bounce.
"I don't know... he just vanished off of the radar. We blew up his truck and poof."
-
"ye i did land on my feet" Mystique got off the bike and leaned against it until she could walk
-
((Uh... we are driving still))
-
"Mmmm" placing his paw on his chin "This is a problem. I don't see him anywhere"
-
"Either he has a teleporter, or he can do it from some power somehow. This is gonna be a problem..."
-
stops daydreaming ((the last post can be the daydream)) and gets back to the subject. "want my help?"
-
((Sure why not))
"Well, unless you want to go home, you are welcome to."
-
"ok, what do you want me to do?"
-
"Ok I will be at HQ and I will search for him in the computer. I think I'll google him" couldn't help but laugh at his own joke. (leaving for abit)
-
"Ok, Mystique and I will check out the spot that the Ship first lifted off. Bing me when you get the chance" he said, laughing at his own internet joke.
-
mystique giggled then rolled her eyes
-
"Yahoo!"
He turns off of the road toward the dump, giggling with Mystique.
-
Zagreus wakes up from the sound of the ship's 4 massive engines slowing down in unison to idle as it touches down a couple of meters away "ugh...there you are" he groaned sleepily as the armor started to power up again and he tried to get up, failing the first time as he stumbled and fell over, he tried again, this time getting up on his knees and gradually stands up "stupid artificial center of gravity" he muttered as he walked over to the ship's cargo bay door which had just opened infront of him. Once Zagreus was inside the cargo bay the door started closing and he muttered "stupid desert" just before the last bit of light entering from outside dissapeared and the cargo bay was illuminated by the ship's internal soft blue lighting. Pressing a couple of buttons on a control panel near by the ship immediately reacted by lurching upwards. "better be on my way then" Zagreus said as he set the ship into a course for an orbit above the city.
(LOL bit hard to post if im AT SCHOOL! X3)
-
Shiro pulled the bike into the junkyard where the sensors picked up the ship in the first place. He got off and looked around.
"Well this is interesting... huge blast marks on the ground... guess this is the place?"
He pointed towards a shack.
"Lets go explore that area. See if we can find anything."
-
Aura speed past the road as quick as possible. Everything is exactly as I remembered. And more Aura could see the details of people now, he could also see the buildings but he couldn't see lights. Sirens went off behind him "F**k I don't have time for this" Aura speed up, hoping to lose the cops. The shelby picked up speed. He manage to lose the cops as soon as he got to HQ. "Alright computer, I need location of a huge unauthorized blimp like ship asap." Aura look around his home. This is some getting used to
-
Mystique went up to the shack and gently pushed the door open, but it came off the hinges anyway. she backed up a little and looked at Shiro "looks like this is gonna be more dangerous than we thought if the shack is going to collapse ontop off us which isnt really a bad thing for you, but i personally dont want to risk death again"
-
Hovering about 11KM above the ground in the ship Zagreus caustiously takes off the plating on one of his legs revealing one of the large hydraulic rams underneath which had a large dent in the side of it "heh....thought that crash would've done more" he muttered, dissconnecting the hydraulic ram from the armor, grabbing another one out of a drawer in the side of the ship and plugs it back into the armor, the ram hissing faintly as it clicks into the armor. After Zagreus had put the plating back on his leg he looked over at one of the monitors showing playback footage of who...or what had blown up his G.A.V...."dont think ill let you go" he muttered while he armed the decoy drone.
-
"Yeah... careful... listen. You stay out here. I don't think either of us can risk you're death."
-
mystique giggled "i cant let you take all the glory if we do find anything" she put one foot in to test the wood "seems sturdy enough" then went into the middle off the shack "come on. i'll be fine :)"
-
Shiro could not stop smiling around this wolf. She was just plain amusing.
"Ok, but don't say i didn't waaarn you." Chuckling to himself.
He walked into the room.
"Lets see what is in here..."
-
"can you tell me what it is you find so amusing" she poked around, looking in some drawers and kept walking up to a flight of stairs "i can still read you like a book"
-
His face could not contort to anything else.
"Well if I am so easy to read, why don't you tell me?"
-
"you find me amusing because im stubborn and wont take a telling, even if its for my life's sake or you find me amusing because ..." she stepped onto the first stair and looked over the banister "im a clown" and :P
-
Zagreus fires the Decoy drone down 10km under the ship and activates it, the Drone being a very advanced piece of tech that projected not only the frequencies imatating the ship, but a full on holographic projection that deflected radar the same way a normal aircraft or ship would without cloaking.
-
"Nah... a clown wouldn't be able to hold on to me while jumping off a 20 story carpark."
He flashed his flashlight in a hole, finding nothing.
"Anyway, you move gracefully... charmingly..."
He stopped, his face turning a little blue.
-
mystique came down the stairs and went up to shiro. "you're sweet" then kissed him on the cheek.
-
Shiro blushed as much as an undead fox could.
"Aw... shucks..."
-
Mistique couldnt help but laugh "come on, we got work to do" then headed for the stairs.
-
Shiro shook his head slightly.
"Yeah, you're right..."
He switched on his flashlight and goes upstairs after Mystique.
-
Mystique shivered, "looks like no one's lived here in years" she entered a room and looked in drawers and out the small window
-
"Well... if I was an evil maniac who liked to destroy random buildings for pretty much no apparent reason, where would I hide a huge jet..."
He looked at a bookshelf.
"This is odd... what is with all of these mechanical manuals... electronics... computers..."
He opened and dusted out a book.
"This has plans for a suit of some kind... like a mech suit..."
Shiro grimaced.
"Well, whoever had this last scratched out the building notes."
-
"I think he or she might have wanted to take over the world at some point. Or is that too cliche?" Mystique tried to get some sort off picture in her head. Where would i keep a huge jet. She looked out the window again, "there's an out-house. pretty big. i'll go check it out" Mystique, being the keen dare devil, opened the window and jumped.
-
Shiro ran over to the window.
"You ok?"
-
landing in some trees and doing acrobatics just for fun till she reached the ground, mystique finally turned and waved to shiro. she didnt like the vibes she was getting from the building beside the shack one bit. come on, dont chicken out now. taking deep breathes she walked towards the out-house.
-
"Well... she is like me! Always a risk taker..."
He looked behind him, seeing the shack being pretty empty.
"wait for me..."
He followed suit out of the window, landing perfectly fine.
((Off to work the Asian celebration... be on tonight my time (my time right now is 10:05) ))
-
"hmmm..." Zagreus pondered, staring down at the weapons controls "what to use" he continued, running his armored paw over the controls until it reached the cluster missile targeting switch. "ahhh..." he sighed happily, targeting the missile at a derelict building in the distance then fires the missile. the smaller cluster misslies exploding outward into a rain of smaller missiles into the building, leveling it completley to the ground with several smaller and a single large explosion.
-
Shiro walked around a corner to see the huge blast mark.
"Well, that is one place you could hide one... what are these?"
He picked up a metal fragment off of the ground. Shiro pulled out his radio.
"Aura? We found something... we need it for analysis..."
-
MULTIPLE TARGET AS BEEN ACQUIRED! MULTIPLE TARGET AS BEEN ACQUIRED "What do you mean multiple targets?" MEANING MORE THAN ONE OBJECTS YOU DUMB @SS "Remind me to remove your personality after this. Give me the location now."
-
Zagreus leans back on his chair just looking at the Drone's readings from the ground and sets it to fly a little closer towards the center of the city, also maneuvering the actual ship further upwards into the atmosphere and disables the main power supply and any uneccessary sub-systems besides the cloaking systems which where all at maximum capacity now "there we go, completley silent"
-
Mystique wrenched the door open and slipped in. It was too dark to see anything but the little light that came in, shone on some boxes and different metals.
-
Shiro followed Mystique through the door.
"Hey, you ever seen this meta.....l oh... wow that is a lot of stuff. What was this, a warehouse?"
-
"Guys we have a problem. We have to identical ships that are look alike, I don't what is going on. Have you found anything?"
-
(if i dont get to log in cause of school it doesnt mean muh ship isnt cloaked anymore! X3)
Grinning slightly Zagreus fires the decoy drone's flares in a massive outward spread that could be seen through most of the city for a couple of seconds before they die out. "should be enough i think....maybe more 'persuasion' needed" he muttered, still monitoring any unusual activities from the ship.
-
"What... two ships? God... can this get any better?"
-
"be careful what you ask for, Shiro..." She turned to face him "do we have to meet up?"
-
Shiro grinned at the comment.
"Yeah... I think that would be wise. Lets put some of this stuff on the bike and ask for some force to secure this area. We need to check these samples."
He picked up a few pieces of scrap metal and put it on his bike.
"Lets go meet up with him."
-
"alright lets go" she held the door open for Shiro. Mystique thought about All the things she asked for that never came true, and the one thing she asked for that did, "I need to take my own advice more often"
-
Shiro moved through the door.
"Thank you! Let's put these on the bike and go see Aura."
He continued he waited for her to follow.
"You still didn't tell me what i am thinking right now."
-
Mystique followed Shiro to the bike and humored him "i dont know what your thinking because im not trying to 'see' what you're thinking"
-
He smiled.
"I guess that is fair."
He hopped on his bike.
"Lets get back to Aura."
-
she got on the bike and held on to Shiro then giggled to herself "foxes like you aren't easy to 'see' into anyway. you automatically block me out without realising it"
-
Shiro revved the motor and started for H.Q.
"Really? Huh... interesting fact of the day... foxes are hard to read..."
He chuckled.
-
"learn something new everyday" Mystique thought for a bit "i really have to stop with the 'be careful what you wish for' and 'learn something new everyday' thing. i sound like i kno everything!"
-
Shiro was still chuckling
"No you don't."
He pulled into the H.Q. parking structure and got off.
"We had better get these to Aura... He will know what to do with them."
-
"ok, im just gonna check up on some stuff then i'll meet you there ok?" not waiting on an answer she got off the bike and ran into the building
-
"o...kay..."
He was left standing there.
"Ah well. Better get these to Aura..."
He walked down the hallways to the place Aura was supposed to be.
"AURA! What did you say about a second ship? We found these at the scrapyard *points to the scrap metal* and a huge blast hole. What is going on in this town!"
He came over next to him,
-
Mystique went to her room, where she knew her aunt would be waiting, "ok, i'm back so we can go. i gotta get back here soon though" she took her aunt to her car and started driving her home "i've made arrangements with an old friend of mine who will take care of me. i want you to have this just incase something happens" her aunt put her ring with our family crest on it and her diamond necklace into a compartment in the car. Mystique had to hold back tears as they both said their goodbyes and she dropped her off at the address and drove back to H.Q.
-
"Shiro, I honestly don't know. Computer what has happen?" ONE OF THE SHIP HAS MOVED INTO WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
-
Mystique walked in, erasing everything that just happened and went straight into HQ and up to the gang, "got anything?"
-
"Yeah... it seems like there is a SECOND ship. If we didn't allready have one to deal with..."
-
"wonderful, do you know where it is?"
-
((/\ thats the point of a cloaking system...you dont know! X3) and sorry for not posting for a while and prolly not as active for 'nother week...got a LOOOOOOOOOOT of exam's and assesment stuff coming up >.>)
"AH HA!, thats what im looking for...confirmation of Radar" Zagreus muttered, going over the data being recived by the drone on a control panel near by, moving slowly towards the main controls of the ship "heh...let see what happens whenn..." Taking over the controls of the drone manually Zagreus shuts off the drone's engine, sending it plumeting towards the ground in a downwards spiral
