Central Park.... Emily silently looked around her surroundings as she sat on a bench, watching people as they passed. all sorts, she skimmed through her assigned reading book, The Crucible. she snickered at the paranoia about the witch trails. suddenly her hand starts to tingle, her fur stands on end as she pulls out her Journal and ink pen and quickly opens it. in a trance...she could hear her mothers voice "there she goes again..." all senses multiply by a thousand, everything she thinks is valuable is put into the journal, the smooth, emerald ink gracefully glides across the paper and a beautiful tree appears. her own voice tells her what to say and draw. with beautiful script she writes
leaves dance in the crisp wind as they unfold themselves in the autumn colors, like fire they spread themselves across the ground making a field for the fire spirits to dance in....

Inside the Buddhist monastary, the monks gathered in a circle. "He's been asking about his parents again. We can't avoid this forever." "Yes, but we can't just tell him his mother dropped him off here when he was a baby. It'd break his heart." "Break who's heart?" The monks all turned quickly to discover that Raphael was standing in the doorway. He knew he wasn't allowed to disturb them when they were in a meeting, but something told him that he should. "Raphael, you've been working very hard this week, why don't you go to Central Park for a bit to relax?" said one of the monks. Immediatly, his ears perked up. Central Park was his favorite place to go in the whole city, apart from the monastary. "Really? You really mean I can go?" he said with excitement. "Yes Raphael, just be back before dusk." "Hot dog!" Raphael ran to his room to change into his leisure robes when he saw his talent show trophy. Memories came flooding back to him about the friends he lost and ridicule he endured. Instantly, his happy mood became depressed. Walking out of the monastary, he sighed as he hoped Central Park would cheer him up.

Living a New York city, there wasn't a lot of places a freak, as Seth was often labeled, could get away and just talk to nature, central park was an exception. He lied in the tree, peacefully making conversation between the two of them, this was one of his favorite, he named him Jeffry, he was old and wise. They where having the daily discusion, when Jeffry said something about some girl in a crazed sketching action, Seth was not the nosey type, but he was the curious kind, he often told Jeffry that there is a difference between the two. He leaned over on a branch, and saw the girl, he didn't know why, but he felt something towards her, he felt as if he should talk to her, this was strange, seeing how he had never wanted to do something like that with another person ever, Jeffry insisted that he do it, but he told him he had know idea how to start to conversation. Jeffry did his tree laugh, which sounds quite like a person on helium, and he said, to apologies for falling on the girl, Jeffry shook his branch, making Seth fall off, and rolling off another branch landing on the girl. "Oww..." Seth said as he rubbed his head, "umm.. sorry for falling on you, trees are very good at math" Seth said more to him self at the end.
-
Emily was extremely surprised as she snapped out of her trance, luckily, she didn't ruin anything in her journal, she looked at the boy who fell on her and smiled "I didn't know that trees could do math?" her eyed lit up in excitment and wonder, she took out a note pan and wrote it down. she felt an odd connection to this boy that was interesting, she never really liked hanging out with other people, she wanted to know more why she wanted to talk to him. "what else do trees say?" she noticed her mother was staring at her, worry and surprise lit up in her eyes but then turned back to gossip to her friend. but she turned back to the boy with growing fascination.

Meanwhile, not too far away in Central Park. Halfeb revved his motorbike. The crowd chantd his name, "Hal-feb! Hal-feb! Halfeb!" He looked down the ramp. He knew this jump had to be pushing it. Five large people troop carrying helicopters, end to end. Fireworks set up on the perpellers, so if he was too slow, he would be blown to smitherines. If he dosn't get enough speed, he'll land in the final coppers perpeller ad too muh and he lands smack into a concrete fountain. He looks over and revs his engine, the back wheel of the bike spins on the ground ad he heads down the ramp. He hits his Nitro and his speed triples. He then leaves the ramp and flies through the air. It was all in slow motion to him. He watched the fireworks launch under him, narrowly missing him as he flies past. He then realises that its going to work. He always hates when he realises that its going to work. He hits the landing ramp and the crowd cheers like crazy. He stops at the end of the ramp and takes off his helmet. Halfebs manager run up to him and Halfeb throws him his helmet.
"I think we can save money next time if we use a 15% lower nitro mix." He tells him as he walks off. The reporters follow him as he walks all of them talking at once. He then stops and looks at them. One of the reporters asks,
"Halfeb, this was one of your biggests jumps so far. Whats next for you?" She asks.
Halfeb looks at them and replies, "Right now. I'm going for a walk. Have a good one." He says as he walks through an exit and shut it behind him. He walks out into the park and a few fans come up and ask hi for his autograph. He happily signs it and gives his sunglasses to a kid fan. He then sighs and walks along, thinking what he can do to make the next jump bigger, better and test it more. He sees two sitting on a bench. One writting furriously. He sits on the other end of the bench to them and looks out deep in thought.

Upon entering the park, Raphael's mood immediatley went back up. The smell of hot dogs from vendor carts was replaced by the smell of trees and grass. He found a nice patch of grass and decided to lay down on it and watch the clouds. "I wonder who the monks were talking about," he said aloud to himself. He slowly closed his eyes and listened to the sounds of the park. A flock of birds, a bycicle, a guy falling out of a tree. A guy falling out of a tree?! Raphael quickly sat up and looked around to see where the sound came from. He saw a bat being helped up by a snow leopard. Figuring that was where the noise came from, he lied back down in the grass. "They're fine," he said to himself. He closed his eyes and began to doze off.
-
"Jeffery, that guy behind you, he tells me all kinds of wise things, trees are also good listeners so he tells me when he thinks I shouldn't come for bad things might happen, I think of him as a granfather figure" Seth stopped talking and looked at the tree, "Yes you are an old fart, your older then most of the concrete around here, anyways, yea well he is one of the nicer of the trees, some are just mean, most are nice, but not all an-...." Seth looked at the girl, "You probably think I'm a freak.. don't you?..."

"You can't keep this up forever, Walter." The fox ignored the voice that pressed his ear. He sat in his kitchen at the table in silence. A glass of milk sat still on its surface while Walter eyed it carefully. "Walter...I'm not leaving this place...It's my house." The fox didn't take his eyes off the glass for a single moment. "No...This is MY house now." He said quietly. Suddenly a loud bloodcurling scream pierced the air. Walter didn't cover his eyes, but his eyes winced in reaction. The milk in the glass turned a deep red and began to pour over the sides of the glass, spilling onto the table and onto the floor. Walter didn't move. He only sat still. Then, as quickly as it started, the screaming stopped. The glass filled with the bloody liquid threw itself against the wall, shattering and spraying the wall with the red liquid. "...You don't want to do this..." The fox said quietly with a slight German accent. "...I don't mean to intrude...but understand I am here to stay." Walter looked up at his surroundings. The kitchen seemed normal and quiet. The only sound was the tapping of dripping water in the old kitchen sink. There was no response. Walter looked back down on the table where he saw the same glass, filled with milk and unmoved. He looked back up and smiled. He picked up the glass and drank from it. He stood up from the table and walked out of the kitchen and down the hall. The house was dark and small. It was very old and hung pictures baring its previous owner. He made it to the front door and opened it. Outside, he watched as the children ran past and laughed as they played. It was a nice neighbourhood and Walter was new to it. He hoped New York held a better life for him but it seemed that his old one had found him already.

max walked into central park slowly, he watched the birds flying around and fighting over some bread. he noticed a stray dog wandering around looking for food. "here you are." he smiled giving the dog his lunch. he pulled out his book and a pen. "you wouldn't happen to have a story to tell would you?" the dog looked at him then began to run away, "hay theres no such thing as a free lunch!!" he ran after the dog jumping over a man laying on the grass in robes.
-
Raphael sat up in alarm, due to the yelling nearby. Sitting up, he turned his head to see a lizard running towards him. Quickly, he lied back down as the snake jumped over him. He seemed to be chasing a dog with a lunch bag in its mouth. "That dog must have stolen that guy's lunch. I gotta help him get it back," said Raphael. Sprinting after them, he easily caught up with the snake, "Don't worry man, I'll get your lunch back!" He then sprinted ahead towards the dog, lunging forward in an attempt to grab it, but fell a few inches short. Looking up, he saw the dog running further away. "Another failure," he said, letting his face fall back into the grass.
-
max (the lace monitor) didn't see the monk get up to help him but did feel the ground when he tripped over him. he looked up at the dog who had stoped near a park bench with three others sitting on it "you owe me a story!!!" the dog looked at me "you want a story? how about the lizard that couldn't catch the dog." it walked off with the bag of food. "looks like a hard day." "shut it tree!!!" he got up and helped up the stranger. "thanks for trying."
-
Walter looked across the street into central park. It looked like a nice day out and figured he'd make the best of it. He walked down the steps and crossed the street into the park. He noticed a dog walk past with a bag of food and stopped to look at it. The dog looked back at Walter and flattened it's ears. It tucked its tail between its legs and dropped the bag before sprinting off sqealing. Walter frowned and walked over to the bag the dog was holding and bent down to pick it up. It was a lunch and most likely stolen as Walter could tell. He picked it up and kept walking. He looked at the monk and the lizard over by a tree. "This belong to you?" Walter asked through his accent as he held the bag up.
-
"A freak?" she began to laugh "no, not at all, people at my school call me a freak because I claim that my own voice talks to me and tell me weird stuff", she pulled out her journal again with her ink pen, in beautiful detail, she drew the vampire bat boy, and the tree named Jeffery behind him. and in her beautiful script, she wrote down a bit of what she experienced.
The young boy I spoke to today among the fire dance, told me about how he can speak to tree's, Jeffery was the tree's name, it fascinated me that such a beautiful, ancient tree can do math...
she looked back up at him. "can you talk to other things besides trees?" she asked, somewhere in her gut, she already knew there was more to him... again her tingling senses roared to life as everything fired up again. she looked around, her senses was enhanced by a thousand as she began to draw and write everything in beautiful detail and desgin, this trance only lasted a minute before she snapped out of it..."sorry...I kinda go into weird trances"
-
"yea thanks, guess that dog will have to con someone else out of a paycheck. I'm max by the way." he held out his hand to the strangers while grabbing the bag. "that wasn't nice" "i said quiet, you already burnt me once." he shot an evil look at a tree over to his right. he looked over at the strangers, "nevermind that......"
-
Walter's eyes bulged when he saw Max accuse the tree. This guy is CRAZY. He thought to himself. He shook Max's hand. "Walter Austerlitz." His glance switched over to the tree and then back at Max...then back at the tree. His wierded out expression hadn't changed much but he felt the need to ask. "...Ummm, I beg pardon but...what was that about?" He asked narrowing his eyes.
-
"Yea, I actually spoke to the earth before, it was only once, but her voice, so sothing, she cheered me up when I was at my lowest, I can also talk to animals. Jeffery wanted to know if he could see you note book, he can only see though touch, but he is a fast reader,..... Jeffery she does not need to know a math formula to calculate the exact rate at which you read" Seth shook his head, "Well at least your not as big as a freak as me" "Seth looked at the lady standing close to them, "and your loved..." a sad expression filled Seth's face, "yes I know you love me Jeffery, I love you to" he couldn't help but smile
-
Emily snorted "Loved?" she chuckled quietly to her self as she looked down at the journal "she is more worried about her reputation than her three month old child" she smiled tenderly at the baby in her own mothers arms, her little sister reached for her and laughed, but her mom pulled her back to her and her friend. Emily sighed sadly "My whole family thinks of me as a stain in their stainless reputation, they don't love me, they never had, never will" she sat back on the bench,she noticed the dingo, he looked deep in thought. she ignored him.
-
Halfeb couldn't help but listen into thier conversation. The young man could talk to trees. This wasn't any big shock to him. He once met a girl who could do the same, or at least claimed she could. He listened to what the Emily was saying about her family, and it made him think of his own. How they always told him not to jump, or, at least they used to.
"sorry, I couldn't help over hearing about your family." He said to Emily, "I know I don't know the full story. But, I think your family needs to realise that blood is thicker then any reputation." He said as he looked at his hands and rubbed them together. They were still sore from gripping the handle bars so tight. "If they don't learn that, they come to regreat it. When they push you away to a point, where you just don't come back."

Chuck Finley was walking down the sidewalk to Central Park. It was 'feeding time' as he called it, and central Park was always full of people to leech. As he was walking, he ignored people's piercing gazes and some screams from small children as he walked by, they probably though some demons were trying to consume their souls. He had gotten used to their idiocy and hatred. Marching along, he spotted what looked to be two lovers and their friend on a park bench. They happened to be the easiest to leech off of, so Chuck put on his headphones and sunglasses and sat near Emily and Seth, quietly keeping himself alive at their expense. As he neared them, he felt his body rejuvenated and he breathed a sigh of relief, but masked it in his boredom.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to smile at them.
"Hello" he said, hopefully not freaking them out with his demented gift.
-
"Blood can be...but they have already push me away to the point where I do not want to return, if I want family, I will find my own " she looked up at the new comer with a raised eyebrow "hello?" something was odd and fascinating about him she looked at both seth and the guy sitting next to her. "what's up?"
-
"A pleasure to meet you Max and Walter, my name is Raphael." Taking the hand from Max, he got up and dusted himself off. "Thank you." Raphael looked to his right to see with whom Max was yelling at, but only saw a tree. Knowing how it felt to be ridiculed, he resisted giving him a wierd look. "So hows your day going?" he asked in general to both of them with a sullen face.
-
"oh that.....well that was.......i can explain.......i got nothing........." he looked away and noticed the group sitting on the park bench. he heard the sorrowful screams of the dark shadows they cast onto the ground. he heard a voice yelling at him "CRAZY! YOU'VE LOST IT! "I'm not crazy......" he whispered quietly
-
Raphael looked at Max, trying to figure out who he was talking to. "Are you feeling alright?" He looked at the group of people at the bench that Max looked at just before. The same couple from earlier, and 2 more had joined since last time. "Is it those people at the bench that are making you feel like this?" he said as he motioned his hand in Max's general direction?
-
"oh no, i just hear things sometimes, its nothing. well i had better get going....were did my note book go?" he searched around looking for where his book had landed. "that squirel better not have it again......" "did you look under the bush? "yes i cheaked under the bush........" "what about under the other bush? "look just let me find it, you stay quiet." he looked back at walter and raphael. and gave a weak smile.
-
Raphael felt strange standing next to the lizard who talked to himself. He considered walking away, but knew that he'd instantly regret it during prayer time. "What color is it? I'll help you look for it." Raphael thought that maybe, just maybe, he might find a friend outside the monastary who was much as an outcast as he was.
-
"it's got a black cover, you cant miss it." he kept searching then saw what he hoped he wouldn't "not again. OK look i know your still mad but destroying the book will just make everything worse." he said looking at a small, Innocent looking squirrel holding his book. the squirrel then ran off with the book, running towards the group at the bench. "after it!!"
-
"It's not getting away this time!" said Raphael as he ran towards the park bench. He yelled at the group, "Stop that squirrel!" The squirrel ran underneath the bench and across the path, but tripped over itself, letting the book tumble into the grass. As he neared the group, he felt a chill go down his spine. Figuring it was just his breakfast coming back, he walked over to the book and picked it up. Turning around to Max, he handed him the book, "I got it this time."
-
Walter looked over towards the pond. "AHH!" He yelled in surprise. He immediately flinched when he saw the figure of a young boy. His clothes were tattered and torn but his skin was soggy looking and a dark blue. His face was sullen and filled with misery. Two black holes were in place where his eyes were supposed to be and his flesh had been almost melted from his face. He looked like a zombie, a dead body come to life. It probably had to do with him actually being one. People in the park walked past him casually, as if he didn't exist. He looked like a drowing victim as his clothes were dripping with water and his hair was soaked. He slowly raised his rotten arm and pointed at the park bench were the group was sitting, specifically at the guy with the odd feeling about him who had just sat down. The boy only pointed at the guy and stared at Walter at the same time. His gaze was piercing and frightening...something Walter had been used to. But as soon as the boy appeared, he was gone when a couple walked past him.
"...Wait...There's something wrong about that guy on the bench." He said to Max and Raphael. "Don't go over there."
-
"OK, man it ripped the book, and i lost an entire chapter worth of the story, it's going to take forever to track that Doberman down again and the pitbull got put down last week." he turned to the tree the squirrel had run up after dropping the book. "yea you better hide, you just cost me two months worth of work!!" he turned back to Walter and Raphael, "i really need to stop forgeting you guys are here......."
-
"Your Family, are those who want you, not those who have the same blood as you I'm mean Jef-" Seth stopped talking, and covered his ears with as he squinted with pain. He looked up at the new boy, and then looked back at Jeffery, he had to leave here, but he couldn't just leave the girl, "ummm.... Hey I want to show you something!.... umm over there.... alone!" Seth Ignored the comment about him sounding like a stalker, and tried to give a less pitiful face, he was starting to feel ill.
-
Halfeb looked at the guy who made him feel something, he longed to feel. A true sense of danger. He smiled and looked at him. "Hey." He said to the him, before getting to his feet. The closer he got the more daner he felt. It was the biggest rush he had had in a long time. He then noticed that a nearby lamp post had one of his posters on it. "What your name, mate?" He asked, extending a friendly hand.
-
she felt her senses fire up again, but this time she didn't go into a trance. even though echoes of her own voice was speaking to her, she looked over at Seth, the poor boy looked like he was going to throw up. she blinked "Ummm, sure..." she looked up at the new comer "be right back sir" she got up and pulled on Seth, taking him towards the restroom, just in case "are you feeling okay? you look green"
-
"Stay away from that boy, he is nothing good, but a blight on the world" Seth started to breath slowly trying to calm down, "That is what jeffery said to me, when I say he said to me, I mean he screamed it at me, I'm sorry I couldn't just leave you there to suffer, he is said to take your aura, or that is what jeffery said, something about. A devil child, and stuff. Jeffery has never acted like that before, so I'm not sure why he did that, but I wouldn't take anything jeffery says as less then the truth." Seth looked around, and thougt to him self. "Well, I did say that I would show you something, so do you still want me to show you."
-
A young teen sat at the edge of central park pond, cross-legged on the smooth gravel path. Nobody noticed him, nobody wanted to notice him, and this all suited him fine.
Everything about him was scruffy, mid-length hair unkempt, jacket weathered and worn in, boots scuffed and muddied. He grinned, clutching the gameboy advance that he held tightly.
He looked up, feline eyes of bright amber roving over the many people in the park, before turning back to his game of pokemon. Suddenly it died, leaving him with a blank screen and a frown of annoyance plastered across his face. He pulled open the back panel and chucked away the batteries into the pond before dropping the gameboy into his rucksack and zipping it up roughly "dammit... Last of the batteries, and geodude was about to evolve too..." He spoke with a heavy slavic accent, obviously foreign, and this suited him just fine too...
With a crunch of gravel he got to his feet, tail flicking as he pulled his rucksack onto one shoulder. He hadnt anywhere to go, but that suited him fine just as everything else did...
-
Raphael had begun to feel queasy being next to all these people. Thanks to his extraordinary sense of balance, he was able to remain upright easily. "I'm not feeling so well anymore. I'm gonna head home. Max, Walter, it was fun meeting you two." He smiled as he walked away towards his monastery. This had been the first time a trip to Central Park hadn't left him happy. Something about all the action today made him feel uneasy, scared even. His haven had been wounded, so to speak. The only other place he felt safe, aside from the monastery, didn't feel safe anymore.
-
Walter looked at Raphael who began to walk off. "Nice meeting you too." His glance switched back to the suspicious man sitting on the bench. Walter didn't know much about him but as far as he was concerned, he had to get as far away from him as he could. The dead were warning him about these sort of things. Walter began to take his steps back but he ended up backing into somone and knocking them over. He quickly turned around. "Oh sorry!" He looked down at who he'd hit. It was a young wildcat who looked like one of those bums who rode the trains overnight back in Munich. Walter had his confrontations with people like these.
-
"see you next time Raphael, oh and i had better get back to work." he looked back to Walter then back at the bag of food, he saw the time. "oh man, I'm late! here have this." he ran past throwing his lunch to the wildcat that he only just noticed. "it was cool to meet you, see you next time!" he called back, oblivious to his wallet falling out when he threw his lunch.
-
Kitt stumbled and fell as Walter knocked into him, for a moment it seemed he would fall backwards into the pond, but instead he landed perfectly on the balls of his feet. As he landed he also caught the bag of lunch swiftly with one hand, not looking as he did so, instead intent on watching Walter.
He shrugged nonchalantly "Is not problem..." He spoke with a heavy slavic accent, barely disguised, sentence fragmented. With a slight pause he cocked his head to one side, looking closely at Walter "You are from Germany, Munich." It was a statement, not a question "Your name is Walter, and you are... twenty three?" He shook his head, and a slight grin caught at the corner of his mouth "Sorry, twenty..."
Still grinning, Kitt stooped down and picked up the dropped wallet. He didnt know how it worked. The facts, that just sprang to into his mind. Whether they where simple things like the number of the tram that ran to thirty-fifth street, or the precise way he had to land to avoid breaking a bone. It just happened... "Sorry, I should not be taking your time-" With that he turned to walk away, both Lunch and wallet sliding into the spacious pockets of his jacket.
-
Before the cat could get away, Walter placed his strong paw on the bum's shoulder. "Wait...Who are you? How do you know all this about me?...WHO DO YOU WORK FOR!? Zietseff!? Hanz!? WHO!?" Walter wasn't about to let his past follow him to New York. He needed to know about this guy. He needed to find out about him and what he knew. He looked around at the people who were giving him strange looks. "Come with me." He took hold of Kitt's arm and began pulling him back to his house. "We must talk somewhere safe."
-
Emily blinked and looked back at the strange guy, he didn't seem all that bad, but she did notice she was feeling a little light headed, she turned back to Seth, trusting him, for he looked very very nervous. "sure, show me" she grinned, and waited for Seth to show her .
-
Seth grabbed her hand, and pulled her into a small place with only a small opening, there where cherry blossom trees every where, Seth took a deep breath, "Just focus on the empty spot in front of you,". There was a small grass spot in front of Emily, the grass started to bend all different directions, soon Emily face was formed, and then the rest of her body. Behind her was a giant note book, and some writing and sketches, the wind blew, and caught the pedals from the cherry blossom trees, the wind spun in a circle, and the blossoms started to forum another image, it was of Seth, holding his hand out. The image disrupted and Seth started to pant hard.
-
Emily's eyes went wide with awe as she saw the image, she laughed in delight, placing a hand on Seth's shoulder to steady him "oh my goodness, that was beautiful!" she went into a quick trance as she drew what she just say in her journal, the exact image. "that was lovely!" she continued to praise him, no fear at all.
-
"Yea, grass.... they are paint some of the best images, the wind, its alive, in its own way, it needs energy to take forum... or a vector.." he panted a little more, "sorry it take a lout out of me when I talk to the wind"
-
"but it was beautiful!" she showed him the picture she drew with the emerald ink. something she rarely did. "luckily I have excellent memory, ad I draw quick" she smiled at the exact replica of the wonder she just saw
-
As the two lovers depated, he noticed that new daredevil guy, judging from the posters approach him, wait someone was approaching him.
Caught off guard, he stammered a bit in his speach
"I'm.... I'm Chuck.... pleased to meet you?" he managed before getting a weak smile.
-
Raphael had made it back to the monastary and had begun to feel a little better. When he went in the front doors tho, the monks were there to greet him. "Welcome back Raphael. Please sit down." Confused, Raphael sat down, "What's going on?" "You've been asking about your mother alot Raphael, and we think that you're old enough to know the truth." Raphael had never known who his mother was. All he was told was that she gave him to the monks so that he could lead a better life than she could afford. "Your mother, didn't leave you with us Raphael." "Wh... What?" "We found you in Central Park, with no note, no name-tag, nothing. You were abandoned." Raphael was stunned, his jaw hanging open. Abandoned? By his own mother? "We've found out where your mother lives, if you want to meet her." The monk handed Raphael a slip of paper with an address and a name on it. He looked at the piece of paper for what seemed like an eternity, and felt for the first time, hate. His face contorted into a snarl, and with both hands, tore the paper apart with the loudest roar he could muster. He tore at every single crap, until he couldn't grasp anymore. When he couldn't tear, he smashed his fists into the floorboards as hard as he could, screaming with each pound, until he finally collapsed onto the floor in a pool of tears and paper bits. The monks looked on in sadness. They knew he wouldn't take it well, but did not think it would be this bad.
-
Emily's senses flared again, this time it was strong, her mind took over as she stood up and walked back over to her previous spot. she looked around, for something, she pulled out her journal and went on another writing and drawing craze, this time she stared at both of the guys, she quickly drew them, adding them into her story....
after the young boy showed me his truly amazing gift, again I was drawn back to the two others, one was dressed in a outfit, he looked similar to a guy on the poster, the other was different, he made everyone around him run away or feel ill she went up to him, and began to draw both of their faces. then continued writing it was as if they were trying to get away from something, not really sure, every time I go near him, I do not feel sick...I did afterwards but it was so light that it was barely noticeable. But the boy and his tree friend Jeffery told me that he was bad...I wonder why? she snapped out of it. she stood there for a moment, recollecting her thoughts. she looked down at the journal, closed it and looked up at the other two, smiling. "Hello again, sorry about that" she looked back at Seth and smiled.

max flew through the door of the animal shelter and jumped the front desk, opening his book on the way. he landed in the chair on the other side and instantly started to read seconds before a coworker walked through the door behind him. "close, you got to keep an eye on the time coz when the boss does catch you he's prity clear on what he'll do." "my old man? i already know what he'll do. he only lets me work here because I'm good with the animals and i live in the adjoining building so it's easier on him." "you got some cash i can borrow?" said the brown cat walking around the desk. "yea just let me....man, my wallet, it must have fallen out in the park." max said searching his pockets.
-
"Chuck." Halfeb said, making sure he got the name right, "Nice to meet you mate. I'm Halfeb." He said as he extendedhis hand to shake. "Now, I'm gonna guess the dangerous feeling I get off you, that a gift." He said, "I've met alot of people with gifts over my career. Yours is the first one I was truly drawn to." He told him.
-
Kitt gave a yowl of surprise as Walter pulled him away, dissolving into a low grumble. He stayed silent as they walked back to Walter's house, not even trying to pull out of the grip or run...
-
Chuck cursed to himself and sighed.
"Of course thats the only reason anyone would ever talk to me. My so called gift. Well sir, since you're so fascinated by it, what do you want to know" he said, with venom dripping from his words. He wanted people to talk to him not because of his gift but because he was a person. Unfortunately he wont be able to get so lucky anytime soon.

Seth walked up to Emily, "hey its getting late, I. Think I should leave and look for a place to sleep, its been nice meeting you" Seth looked around, and walked over to Jeffery to say good bye.
-
"oh, okay..." she checked her watch, it was late, her parents took off without her...she had a text message saying that they are going out to the cabin without her. like usual. she sighed. she loved the cabin... when she heard gift from the other guy her ears perked up. but the venom in her voice made kept her from her curiosity. she jotted down her address and cell phone number on a sheet of paper and gave it to Seth "just in case you need me" she said before walking off across the grass...before she stopped and turned back to Seth "you needed a place to stay right?"
-
"No, I think I'm good, Jeffery told me that there was this dumpster, that isn't to far from here, that mostly no one goes too, then after that, when the suns comes up, ill head to a shelter, Jeffery doesn't want me walking around alone this late. And if a hobo comes later, usually there not to mean, I mean they only throw me out, nothing bad like they do to other people." Seth looked at the paper Emily, then at Jeffery, "No I can't ask her too, no that is rude, ill be fine its not the first time." Seth looked back at Emily and smiled.
-
"I emancipated three weeks ago, I live alone and I do have space" she offered "come on, tonights gonna be cold" she smiled kindly at him.
-
Raphael woke up to find he had been moved to his bedroom. His pillow had a wet spot from his tears on it. Looking out of his window, he noticed it had become night. He turned to go to the bathroom and saw a note on his night stand. He knew what was inside it, but did not want to open it tonight. Tomorrow he will look, but tonight, he can only rest.
-
He blusged, he wasn't use to this kind of kindness, and he didn't know how to react,"ummm ok, I guess" he walked over to her, and ignored Jefferys comments.
-
Emily smiled, leading him across Central park to a cross walk, which turned green, it was a quick walk to her apartment building, she lived up on the 9th story. down the hall and to the right. room 935
"well here we are" pulling out her key, she opened the door and turned on the light. which led to a small foyer and her living room which was shelves of just her journals and books, an easel with a beautiful painting...two hall ways, one led to the kitchen the other to the two bedrooms and bathroom.
-
Noticing it was getting dark soon, Chuck just left Hafleb on the bench, but in the necessary evil of having to leech, he decided to follow the girl with the book and that other guy. following from a distance, he sat down in front of her door, slowly and quietly leeching off of her and her friend.
"Just once i'd like a normal night..." he mumbled to himself and set a pillow down and a blanket, putting on the facade of homelessness, although he was doing so in an apartment complex so its not like it would work.
He could go home, but his parents were afraid of what he was and were physical about it. They didn't care where he went, to them he was a monster.
-
max finished feeding the animals in the shelter before walking up a small set of stairs in the back of the building. he heard the usual goodnights from the animals shadows as he disappeared up the staircase and into his small apartment. "well another lot of people think I'm crazy, i lost my wallet and the last few months worth of work is now in the trash. yep just another boring day." he said not talking to anyone in particular."at least you still have your health." called a voice from a dark corner of the room "yea, same as every other day." he smiled turning on the light and siting in a small lounge in the empty corner
-
Walter pulled Kitt into his house and into his kitchen in the back. he sat him down in a chair and sat down in front of him. The house was already dark, and Walter could feel the presence of the previous owner lurking somewhere in the shadows. He ignored it. Sam flicked on the light switch next to himself and the room was lit up by dim hanging light over the table above their heads. Walter's eye caught something move behind Kitt but he shook it off. He looked at the cat. "...Well? Explain yourself."
-
Seth stood there not knowing what to do, he thought he should change, luckly he planed on being out late, he pulled out his sleeping stuff, and looked at Emily, and gave a pity smile. "Umm if you don't mind, ill guess I go to the bathrooom," He went in there fro five minutes, and then came out, when he came out he came in a white T, s so,e cargo pants, then he looked at Emily, not knowing what to do next.
-
Kitt shrugged nonchalantly, leaning back in the chair and looking around the kitchen "Is nothing to explain..." He pulled the bag of lunch out of his jacket pocket and started to eat a sandwich raptly, as if he hadn't eaten for days. After several moment he had finished eating and licked his fingers happily "You want to know why I say these things about you? How I know..."
With a grin, Kitt shrugged again "You are wearing your identity like badge on shoulder. I simply add the little things together... You speak with heavy accent, I hear you introduce yourself to someone else nearby... Little things, they add up..." He looked around the kitchen a second time "You have any batteries?"
-
"sooo...you hungry, there is food in the fridge." she went over to her easle and took off the previous painting and pulled up a new one... "lots of cold meats, I do cook, but not often"
-
Walter looked at Kitt with eyes filled with distrust and skepticism. "...Ja...I got batteries." He got up and walked over to a drawer before pulling it open. He pulled out a package of batteries and tossed it down on the table in front of Kitt. Walter sat back down at the table and looked at the cat before him. "...I see. Well who are you then?" He asked while his eyes kept looking back down into the dark hallway. The ghost was back there and was listening to every word. He could feel the negative energy about the house. The ghost was angry...he didn't like intruders. Sam continued to ignore it.
-
max fell off the lounge hitting his head on the hard floor boards. he sat up still half asleep. "idiota" said a small minibar like fridge in an Italian accent. max looked over at the fridge silently......... he layed back down on the lounge with a smile, he fell back to sleep without hassle.
-
Seth nodded in anticipation he hasn't had a warm meal in a very long time.
-
Kitt grabbed the packet of batteries, tearing them open. He grinned up at Walter and saluted "Officer-Cadet Kittrevsky Szarda..." Still grinning he slid the batteries into his gameboy advance and switched it on, eyes now glued to the screen as he continued to talk "Call me Kitt... I hate formality."
Satisfied they worked, he switched the game off and slid it back into his rucksack. He fixed Walter with a curious stare "Obviously this is not good enough explanation for you. You are still wondering, whether I am someone from your old life. Back in Germany... I do not, however, know what it is you worry people finding out about you though." he waved a hand distractedly "No matter. I am Kitt, Cadet Kitt... I am seventeen, I think, and until today I never knew or saw you... I know no-one, and no-one knows me. Perhaps this is better explanation?"
-
Emily got up and went into the kitchen, pulling out bread, cheese, honey ham, she heated up the cast iron pan before melting the butter, she put on the bread, cheese and ham, soon making two ham and chesses sandwiches, grilled....
-
Seth ate the meal happily, he yawned, not trying to be rude, just trying to wake him self up. "Thank you for the meal, if you don't mind, I would like to get to sleep soon please"
-
she chuckled as she out the dishes in the sink "go ahead, you need it" she quickly washed the dishes before she showed him the guest room.
"Good night, see you tomorrow" Emily wouldn't sleep for another couple of hours...usually she painted, draw,or write until she felt like it...lately, strange dreams have been haunting her
-
Raphael woke the the sounds of birds chirping outside his window. Looking at his alarm clock he saw it was 7:00 am. With a mighty yawn, he got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror, he noticed that he had bags under his eyes. No surprise to him though, he barely slept that night. Thoughts about his mother kept him up most of the night. After his morning routine and breakfast, he grabbed the paper and walked out the door onto the street. Asking a nearby police officer for directions, he found out it was 3 blocks north of the monastary. He had been so close his entire life, why didn't the monks tell him? On his way there, he pondered what he would say to her. He wanted to be mad at her for leaving him as a baby, but also wanted to believe it was a misunderstanding, that she would take him back with open arms and he could forget everything else and be with his mom forever. But as he neared the address, all of his excitement went away. It was the graveyard. He walked to the gate to make sure he had gotten the address right, and it was. He couldn't belive it. Dead. She wasn't alive anymore. She wouldn't be able to take him in. But she never wanted to take him in, did she? If she really wanted him, he wouldn't have been at the monastary his whole life. He tucked the paper inside his robe and walked to Central Park. The monks would understand if he didn't work today. By 8:00, he had reached the park. Making his way to the grassy hill he lay on yesterday, he noticed the tree next to the bench where that group of people sat. It's been so long since he used his gift on purpose, he decided to climb the tree up to the middle branches, and lay on his back on them. His superiour balance keeping him up. Staring at the leaves, he began to think about his life.
-
(WHOA TIME WARP)
Walter leaned back in his chair and looked at Kitt. "Good enough for me, Kitt." He looked around the house. It was getting late. "I suppose I should be off to bed..." He said standing up from the small table. "...You're welcome to stay the night if you'd like. I'd hate to send out someone like yourself out there on your own. You can take the couch in the living room." Walter walked down the hallway and to the stairs. "Good night, Cadet. Don't worry about the shadow and his noises...he doesn't bite...Usually." With that, Walter went upstairs to bed, leaving Kitt to decided whether or not he would stay the night. He trusted Kitt in his home. He wouldn't have to guard it, the previous owner took care of that far surer than he did.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Walter opened his eyes and looked at the clock. Exactly 7:00am. He groaned, sighed, moaned, and stretched. He sat up in his bed and listened. He was still half asleep. The house was quiet. He wondered if Kitt was downstairs. He stood up, slipped on his bunny slippers, and shuffled out of his bedroom.
-
Emily fell asleep and woke up in her room, up around 7:30 she was out of the shower and changed into bark blue jeans and a black t-shirt.walking into the living room, she saw her newest creation. a painting of Seth and his tree friend Jeffery. smiling she went into the kitchen and started making coffee.
-
max woke up in time to see the sun rise, he quickly had a shower and got changed before going for his morning walk to the park. "help..... me" he heard weakly as he walked past the small broken fridge he threw out of a window at some point last night. he walked with a smile till he saw Raphael walk into the park, radiating sadness. he followed Raphael to the spot they had met yesterday and watched as he climbed to tree. "don't fall!"
-
Raphael looked to his left to see the Lizard from yesterday talking to him. I think his name was max. He sighed as he waved at him, then turned his head back to the leaves of the tree. He didn't feel like starting up a conversation, but hoped Max would. He'd really like to talk to someone.
-
Emily left a note for seth.... there is good food in the fridge if your hungry, just relax, gonna go to the store, be right back...
Emily went to Central park, not realizing that her feet were taking her to the one place she met her new friend Seth. looking up from her journal she saw the lizard and the Lynx from yesterday.
-
Chuck lumbered back into central park, finding a Buddhist monk? Curious sight indeed, since when do the Buddhists have a temple in New York...
Tapping his chin, he was so deep in thought he forgot he was walking and bumped into Emily.
"Geh... sorry" he said with a nervous grin as he started to rub the back of his head. Oh lord this was going to be a long day of leeching.
-
max climbed into the tree next to Raphael and looked out over the park. "so what's got you so upset? and don't say it's nothing, i don't need to use my gift to see that your in pain." he said not looking at the monk. "if you don't want to talk then I'll just ask you in a different manner."
-
Kitt watched Walter walk upstairs curiously, looking around the room and towards the door of what he could only assume was the living room. He sighed and wiped a hand across his muzzle "Long time since I slept on anythin' but concrete for years..." He glanced back up the stairs and then to the front door, then back to the living room. he shrugged and walked in "Just one night... Can't do any harm, I reckon I got till Thursday for them to find me..."
------------- [EPIC TIME SHIFT!] -----------------
It was seven in the morning, and normally by this time Kitt would be on the move again. But he was not.
Instead he lay on a couch underneath his jacket , in a strangers house, well and truly asleep. He gave a snuffling snore and rolled over onto his front, drawing the weather-beaten jacket around himself...
-
she looked up, the nervous kid from yesterday, the guy everyone was wanting to get away from "Good Morning" she chirped, she felt nothing when she touched him. she extended a hand towards him, smiling "sorry for being so rude yesterday, my name in Emily!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
((time for the bad guys to come in))
On the warm coast of Florida was a beautiful mansion, a wolf, shirtless and only wearing shorts, holding a martini glass stared out the window. in the window reflection, he saw two, extremely beautiful women, the first one that approached, the elegant black cat at her side, the lioness. both in expensive business suits
"Ladies..." he turned around and faced them, sitting in his leather seat, he smiled his charming smile. from a locked drawer he pulled out several different folders. they women grinned "our new comers??" the cat purred, as they both picked up a file. opening them. the lioness smirked " looks like we have 'walker' due to his extreme balancing gift"
"Seth...fifteen years old, can talk to spirits...we should need him for something"
"thats not all he can do, he just doesn't know it" the wolf replied, sipping his glass.
"Max Shadow, can talk to shadows...another 'talker' "
"Same with Walter, can talk with the dead...."
the cat let out delighted gasp "we have a De-activator " she handed the wolf the file. he grinned " Chuck, seventeen and can drain the essence of others...my we surely need this one, make our enemies weak"
"But I don't get...Emily Story..." the lioness replied "her gift is extremely simple, meaningless"
the wolf stood up "I was thinking the same thing when we first found her Zanya, it was so strange that her simple gift was picked up so strongly on the radar like the rest, which by the way are the only ones in New York, then after further research, I came across something interesting. A Russian scientist discovered a type of gift that was shown through the meanings of art. each time they claim that one other their natural senses will fire up 1000 times stronger than anyone else in the world. but they present it through art. Emily..Emily is interesting"
"How so Reginald?" the black cat replied, truly fascinated.
"Instead of just one...all of her senses fire up at the same time. she can see, hear, smell, touch and taste things 1000 times stronger than anyone else."
"is she a threat?" the black cat stood up. the lioness followed, Reginald smiled "calm down Lucinda..." both Lucinda and Zanya sat down again. "at the moment, she is hardly one... the last few pages of the journal was ripped away so I can't tell you if she is or isnt. but right now, who you need to worry about is Chuck and..."
from a different file drawer, he pulled out another folder, Lucinda opened it with a scowl "him?"
"yes...Kitt, a tactical genius so they say..."
Zanya smirked, Lucinda leaned in "when do we begin our mission?" Reginald smiled "now"
-
"My entire world has been turned upside down. I felt unbridled hate yesterday, but buddhists aren't supposed hate things. If I can feel this much hate, then I'm not a true buddhist and can't get into nirvana. I don't know what to do." Raphael started to feel queasy again, the same as yesterday, but ignored it. He didn't care right now.
-
The stairs creaked in Walter's house everytime Walter took a step. He finally made it to the bottom of the stairs and peered into his living room. There lay Kitt, snoring away on his couch. He chuckled. "Knew he'd stay." He walked into the kitchen, careful not to be too noisy. On the way in, Walter looked at the old pictures that hung on the wall. His face changed when he noticed that the man in each of the pictures was missing. He backed up against the wall, his mouth gaping open. He walked into the kitchen where he froze. The dead owner was sitting at the table with his hand's crossed and two hot mugs of coffee sitting in front of him, one within his grasp and the other, on the other side of the table. He had a smile on as he looked at Walter. "Please sit down." He said, gesturing. He had a strong New Yorker accent, and dressed sharp with his pinstripe suit and matching hat that lay on the table next to him. A cigarette was buring between his lips. The smoke was odourless and seemed to disappear into thin air. Walter slowly sat down at the table in front of him. "I made coffee." He said, looking at the machine on the counter. "I had some trouble figuring out how. It wasn't the same as my old one." He said, taking a drag and then a sip of coffee. "I made enough for you and Kitt as well." He smiled again.
Walter looked down at the cup in front of him then looked at the ghost in front of him. "Who are you?" The fox asked, stupidly. The ghost narrowed his eyes and crossed his legs. "OH, right, I never told you my name." He pressed out his cigarette on the wood table, but did not leave a burn. "Alex Harvey." He extended a hand. Walter was quick to shake it. "...and I'm here to warn you two about your imminent danger." He said, still smiling.
-
Kitt woke with a yawn. Instead of the usual morning, waking to the sounds of a city, cold wind or hard rain, he woke to a pleasant warmth and softness. He rubbed an eye with one gloved hand and sat up. Immediately he remembered where he was and sighed "Last time I'm going to have a sleep that good for long time..."
He sat up and pulled on his jacket, slinging the worn-out rucksack onto one shoulder and trudged into the kitchen "Morning..." He sat down in one of the empty chairs at the table and looked between Walter and the second mug of coffee "That for me?" He noted with curiosity how Walter had been staring at the air above the third empty chair...
-
(he's talking to a ghost, you cant hear half the conversation kitt.)
what caused you to feel this hate? was it something insignificant or worthless, or was it an emotional scar you never knew you had being revealed?." max asked still looking away, he slowly looked over and looked Raphael in the eyes. "i hear your pain through your shadow, is screams your thoughts and desires. it is confused and lacks direction. but it calls its shadow name to me, it wants to be at peace........at peace with you and its self..........."
-
Seth felt his body being wight less, he opened his eyes, he was floating, he was dreaming, but isn't just another dream. A white glow sphere was in front of him, the sphere spoke, "Its been a long time my child", the voice was soft like an angel, but full of wisdom. It took him a second before he realized who it was, "Oh its you, I'm still not sure what to call you". "I am mother earth, call me what you will", "Ok I'll call you mom", Seth said with a smile, he was abounded, but he never saw it as a bad thing. The sphere laughed, the light became a bit more intense until it disappeared, a pale creature stood in front of Seth, he hasn't ever seen something so beautiful, and he couldn't tell what species it was suppose to be. "I noticed you found a friend that is good, well a non spirit one that is", "Not trying to sound rude, but why are you talking to me now", "Very well, Luna is often watching when it can,it feels you grow, it also feels your potential; as do I." "Luna, the moon?", "Yes, we have noticed your gaining consciousnesses of your former body, before you ask, think of it like a reincarnation kind of thing. We fear that some evils within me, are out to do nothing good, you are a creature of the night, the moon is always there for you, but don't use that the wrong way" a mist started to follow between the two, "Wait what dose that mean!" the mist covered everything, and Seth woke up. Seth didn't know what just happened, he deiced the best thing to do would be to just go talk it over with Jeffery, he went out the door, locking the bottom lock, with out a key he couldn't lock the dead bolt, and headed for central park.
-
Chuck looked at Emily's hand for a second. She was so far, the only not lunatic person to not run away from him in fear.
Was he really going to eat her essence, but then if she wasnt crazy, maybe she didnt get leeched?
Shaking her hand, he nervously sput out.
"M'name's Chuck........."
"The reason im being so cautious is because my 'gift' is unconsciously leeching the life from people.... I need to do that or I'll die."
-
Emily nodded, understanding, she didn't feel her essence being drained. after they shook hands she let him go "Chuck huh..." she smiled, "well, I need to go to the grocery store" with a grin she asked "wanna come?" she pointed to the small corner market "it will only be a minute, I need to get milk, eggs and bacon. making Clam Chowder" her mouth watered at the thought.
-
Seth saw the tow together, he was eating every one, but she is ind, and as much as he knows he should stay away, he couldn't be mad for her not listing to him. Seth noticed some people inside of Jeffery, he seemed fine with it, so he jumped up on Jeffery, on the opposite side, and started to talk to him about his dream.
-
"but if you don't want to its fine" she started walking in that direction, waving at Seth, she began to trudge across the grass, a short cut to the street.
-
Walter noticed that Alex's attention snapped up at Kitt who'd just entered the room. Walter whipped around at look at him. "Oh, good morning, Kitt." He said, with a forced smile. He was a little irritated that Alex had been interrupted. "Ja, the coffee's yours." He said, sliding it away from Alex to Kitt. "Sorry..." Walter mouthed to Alex. The ghost only smiled.
Walter sat quietly as he sipped from his mug. "What do you want for breakfast?" Walter asked, getting up and going over to the fridge and looking inside.
"You're out of eggs." Alex said to Walter.
"What the hell do you mean I'm out of eggs!? I got some yesterday!" Walter retorted.
Alex shrugged, reaching over the table and sliding Walter's coffee over to his side before taking a sip and lighting another cigarette. Walter froze and pressed his hands against his head as his mug seemed to slide itself across the table. He threw glances at Kitt, hoping he hadn't noticed.
-
Kitt grinned and took the coffee, holding it between his hands as if soaking up its warmth, before drinking several large gulps. He glanced up at Walter as he shouted, but said nothing, instead just watching him with a curious stare.
Looking back down to his mug he was just in time to miss the self-propelled mug, and instead was rewarded with a quite mundane table, and of course the invisible ghost "I could go get something from the shops?" He glanced back up again, seemingly oblivious to Walter's frozen horror "Least I can do for your generous hospitality..."
-
Emily crossed the street. and into the store, she looked around. so many people...she groaned as she walked over to the dairy aisle. grabbing whole milk, half and half for coffee and the clam chowder. she saw ice cream, smiling she grabbed a small quart of it. she began to realize she was going to get more than just Bacon, eggs and milk....
-
Walter thought for a moment. "YES! That would be great, Kitt. I'll give ya some cash." He pulled out his wallet and handed Kitt an unknown sum of money. "You can head over to Higgin's down the street." Walter hoped he could get Kitt out of the house for a few minutes to give him time to listen to Alex and get rid of him too. "Actually..." He reached back into his wallet and pulled out a crumpled peice of paper. "Here's a list I meant to finish. I've crossed off the things I have...except the eggs, even though those are crossed off...Hehehehe. If you could grab me those things on there, I'd be grateful." He handed Kitt the crumpled paper with illegible chicken scratched words. Alex continued to look between the two, a grin plastered on his face.
-
Kitt took the wad of cash, thought about telling him there was more than eighty dollars there, then thought better of it and then took the list as well. He nodded and stood up "Sure... Thank you, by the way. You dont know what it means to have somebody let you stay a night..." And with that he shouldered his bag and walked out, closing the front door behind him as he walked out onto the pavement.
It was sunny, warm but with a sharp breeze that was blowing from the north, eighty degrees latitude and fifty-five point strength. Kitt noted this in the small time it took to step onto the concrete sidewalk. He knew the shop, Higgins, after having slept in its entrance the first night he was in New York. He walked quickly, pulling his jacket in against the cold wind as he walked in to the store.
There where a lot of people shopping this morning, and most gave him the usual stare of mild disgust. He ignored them, instead pulling out the list Walter had given him and trying to decipher what it said "Eggs... Cereal....... Milk?" He turned the list upside down, just to make sure, but it was still almost unreadable. He shrugged and turned to the dairy aisle to get the milk and eggs first...
-
"Egg.." Emily said to herself, she pulled down some grade A eggs. opening the carton to see if they were good, nothing was wrong. gently she put them in her basket. suddenly a tingling sensation made her stand still. it was the same feeling she got when she met Seth... blinking she looked around.
-
Kitt had picked up a full litre of milk, box of cereal and several other items and was now trying to add a carton of eggs to the precarious pile. He was starting to wish that he had picked up a shopping basket. But then again, the only times he had ever gone 'shopping' he had only needed quick hands and a rucksack "Do riti!" He swore loudly, slavic accent thick and harsh. The people nearest him gave him odd looks and moved hastily to other aisles...
-
seeing the boy having trouble with his groceries, she quickly grabbed a basket, lending him a helpful hand. "here, your gonna need this" she smiled at him
-
Once Kitt was gone, Walter poured himself a new cup of coffee and sat back down at the table. "What sort of danger are we talking here?" He asked Alex. Alex took a drag from his cigarette and looked at him.
"They're after you, Walt."
"Who?"
"I don't know but they're after you and Kitt and the others and they want to use you guys."
"What do you mean you don't know who? What others!? Why me and Kitt!?"
"I DON'T KNOW! There's been talk, okay? Us dead people know eachother. Now I may be old fashioned but I know an evil plot when I hear one."
"Well...How much time do I have?"
Alex took another sip of coffee, "Very little, they're coming to New York as we speak. Now I don't know exactly what they want with you and the others but all I know is that it ain't good for any of us."
"Why are you telling me this, Alex?"
There was another smile from the ghost. "Because...You're my roommate and you ain't exactly the same type of Kraut I knew back in '44. You ain't bad."
"...Thanks." Walter said sarcastically. "What should I do?"
Alex leaned forward before he answered. "Run."
-
"Uhhh...." Kitt dropped the stuff into the basket and rubbed the back of his neck bashfully "Thanks I... Yeah...." He scuffed his boot against the floor and drew the faded military jacket closer around himself "Should've got a basket in the first place I guess..." Still looking anywhere but at Emrelda he fingered the dogtags that hung around his neck. He was so unused to people actually helping him that he was unsure what to say. Walter had pretty much been the first person to even let him in their house, and now this?
-
"You right I will" Seth said as he jumped out of Jeffery. He headed over to the store he saw Emily go into, he saw her helping some homeless looking boy, he knew what it was like, so he was far from judging. He walked over to them
-
she smiled at Kitt (btw in this one my name is Emily lol) noticing Seth, she smiled "hey there!" turning back to Kitt, she couldn't help but find it cute when he looked bashfully.
-
(so when will the evil people come looking for me)
Chuck followed Emily in the store, accompanying her and taking some of the groceries, ignoring people's looks of terror and crying children. Seeing Emily help a young slavic lad in military jacket he went over, bags still in hand, hoping to say hello.
-
"Hi-" Seth noticed the boy that tailed emily, he thought that he should leave, he didn't like him, he was only around them to hurt him, a small breeze passed through the store. 'That's odd, we aren't near the door, so why would there be a breeze' Seth thought to him self. It wasn't like this to act so sour, he thought that he will just take it for a while. "Hey I talked to the earth this morning" he said, not being the best conversation starter, he though it be best to just go out right and say it.
-
(soon, very soon)
"Talking to Earth This morning?" Emily cocked her head, listening, she looked back at Chuck, wanting him to come closer. but knowing Seth, he was still scared of him. " well, tell me in a bit, I don't have my notebook on me" she said, suddenly realizing, sighing sadly, she really wanted to know. "Oh! Seth, this is Chuck!" she leaned in "don't worry, he is not that bad, he wont touch you." smiling back at him. people looked at her as if she was crazy. she was used to it. she turned to Chuck "Do you like Clam Chowder?"
-
After such long thought at his drawing board, he had come up with something new. A rocket car, launched across an active volcano. Now just to find an active volcano...
He scrunched up the piece of paper. His manager came in with a bottle of water for him, wading through his scrupled up sketches that he had thrown away before. "Ah, Halfie, look man. I know you're doing your unkillable thing, but, dude, I've seen what you've been drawing. Active volcanos, death spike pits..." He picks up one sketch, "This one is just a picture of you strapped to a rocket being shot a huge pile of dynomite." He said as he threw it away. "You need to stop just having this suicide wish man. Neither of us can make money if you're dead." His manager added. Halfeb looked at him. "Nice to know you're so concerned about my health." He said, "Now, you know people see me because I do crazy stuff." He added before scrunching up another sketch, "Nothing has been exciting since..." He stopped mid sentence. He looked up. The manager knew that look. He was in his own little world. His manager sighed and left his bottle of water by him on the table and left. "You got another jump tomorrow. We're calling in another helicopter like you ordered. Try to get some sleep." He said before Halfeb started sketching like crazy again.
-
"Ok..." he said, looking up at chuck, a slightly stronger gust of wind rolls through, Seth looked down at the floor not knowing what to do.
-
she gave him a tender pat down on his shoulder. then looking down at her list... "oh, i need Tapioca flour, to thicken the soup" she said under her breath.
-
Walter was overwhelmed but he wasn't about to take any chances. People had been chasing him his whole life and he realized he wasn't safe anywhere he went. He immediately ran upstairs to his room and began to dig through his closet until he found the box he was looking for. He froze and stared at it for a moment. He opened up the box and pulled out a small box wrapped up in a red flag. He carried the bundle over to his bed where he set it down. He unravelled the flag and looked at it. He swallowed hard. Family history's can be upsetting sometimes. He carefully set the Nazi flag aside and looked at the small box. It was made of an elegant wood. Engraved onto it was the German Eagle holding up the swastika. Below that there was a small message written in German. "For my grandson, Walter. May he never know this life of chaos." Walter opened the small box and pulled out the Walther P38 that was inside. He held the weapon in his hands and looked up. Alex stood in the doorway, his face was blank of expression. The ghost finally spoke. "God speed, Walt."
-
The next day he had decided to get some Mountain Dew, and his manager was out. He covered up as much as he could so not to be mobbed by fans. He walked down to the grocery store and started to pick up the drink when, he obviously hadn't covered up enough as a scream girls voice sounds throughout the store, "It's Halfeb Jones!!!"
Everyone started mobbing towards him as he turned they pushed him up aginst the shelves. He then climbed up over the shelves and started walking over them, like some Indiana Jones scene or something. Then he tripped and fell right infront of Emily. He got straiht to his feet, not being hurt at all and stod hard against the shelves as he watched the mob run by, not noticing him. He looked at Emily, "Um, hey, hows it going?" He asked, looking around to make sure they the others still didn't see him.
-
Emily cocked her head, smiling "hey...Halfeb Jones... seen you on TV a couple of times" laughing "so, trying to get away from the mob?"
-
"Shhhhhh" He said as she said his name, "Yes, its me, I'll give you one of my frigging bikes as long as you don't draw attention to me and get me out of here." He said as he kept his eyes open, like a paranoid squirrel or something.
-
Emily snorted, "I do not want a bike" she smiled "follow me, I think they left the store"
-
"Uhh yea im fine with it, Hey Seth!" he said happily, he would shake his hands but he knew he'd probably steal more then was necessary from him.
-
He kept low so no one else could see him. He was so paranoid that one of the fans would see him, he bumped into the cutlery shelf and knocked down five knife set, which should have scewered him, but, they fell perfectlt missing his legs as he fell back onto his ass. He got back up like it was no big deal that that had just happened. He still kept low.
-
Emily almost laughed, then she went to finding what she was looking for, she smiled and found it "aha!" she sang. putting it in the basket. she turned to the others "pay time" heading towards the cashier line.
-
He stayed close as he stod up and tried to blend in with Emily. He looked at what she was getting while one of the fan girls raced past. He watched her as she ran away. He then walked casually with Emily to the exit. "Ummm, I need somewhere to disappear too. I'm not from around here. Got any ideas?" He asked her.
-
"ummm...well, I guess I am having a clam chowder party at my house...?"
-
"I found out my mom abandoned me when I was a baby yesterday. I then found out where she lived today. She's dead. I'll never get closure Max. I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll catch ya later." Raphael climbed down the tree and began walking away. Turning around, he said "Hey Max! Call me Raph." Heading out of the park, he decided to go to the grocery store. He didn't have any money, but the smells of the bakery were nice.
Upon reaching the store, he walked inside to find the same group of people from yesterday. Something told him this wasn't a coincidence. He had to talk to them, but what would he say? "Excuse me, but are you family?"
-
Emily turned to the window, he saw the boy looking in, staring right at her...or them, she cocked her head again, he looked oddly familiar. her vibrant green eyes flashed with curiosity.
-
Walter sat at the kitchen table. "Damnit, where the hell is that cat!?" He asked looking at the clock. Alex had "left" since Walter had begun packing his things. The portraits in the main hallway hung with his familiar face back in place. Walter needed to warn Kitt about the people who were after them. Maybe Kitt knew who the others were that were also in danger. The thought of all this was giving Walter a headache. He didn't want to be responsible for others but he couldn't leave knowing that others would end up with a fate worse than his own. He got up from the table, and slid on his trench coat. He slid the pistol into one of its inside pockets and walked out his front door.
He winced his eyes in the bright light. He looked both ways up and down the street for Kitt. He decided that it was best he'd find him at the grocery store.
-
"They must not have heard me." He walked into the store and approached them. "Hello. My name is Raphael, and I don't know if you remember, but I saw you guys at the park yesterday and I thought I'd come and say hello, I guess." God that was stupid.
-
Emily extended her hand "my, I am meeting all sorts of interesting people today" grinning. "My name is Emily, this is Seth, Chuck and Halfeb"

((Bad Guys Point of View))
finally Reginald, Lucinda and Zanya boarded his private plane. a bar tender immediately prepared drinks. Lucinda was now wearing the latest fashion. her long, gorgeous locks of raven hair shined. Zanya was more casual, but still gorgeous with short Cinnamon hair.
"remember girls....I do not want to have them harmed in anyway until they get to the lab, then we can have fun" Reginald's sadistic smile touches his godly handsome face....
"two hours until we reach New York City sir" the captain said
"excellent..." his voice low, dangerous.
-
"A pleasure to meet all of you." He noticed the ingredients she was carrying, "Pardon me if I'm being forward, but what are you making?"
-
"I am making Clam Chowder" she moved with the line. getting closer to the cashier, she opened her wallet, good she had a $100. she checked her stuff again. bacon, tapioca flour, milk, cream, eggs...yep, everything "yep, well, the eggs and ice cream wont go in but everything else will"
-
Halfeb started acting more casual now he was inside and out of the public eye. He knew he had managed to dodge the fangirls. He did enjoy fangirls, one by one, but, when they came together they tended to swarm. He followed Emily into the kitchen. He greeted Ralph and looked around. They all seemed to be people he had seen the day before.
"Nice to meet you. I can't but help notice,this seems to b less and less a chancemeeting." he noticed as he took off his sunglasses, beanie and jacket.
-
((WEIRD TIME WARP TO EMILY'S KITCHEN LOL))
setting the groceries onto the counter, she put away the uneeded stuff and took out the needed ones. she began her cooking magic, she began to prep the food. she began to sing, noticeably, she always thought that her food tasted better when she sang. Emily thought she was never a great singer, but she wasn't bad.
I hear a baby crying
A sad sound, a loney sound
I want to take her in my arms
And then I dry away all her tears
I see a boy, who's frightened
A young boy, with old eyes
I long to say 'You're welcome here,
You can be happy now that you're warm'
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words, such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share?
So let your hearts be open
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
And we are one
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
-
max walked back to the shelter calmly playing with a small metal cross on a small chain attached to his belt, he wasn't religious but his mother was. he noticed Walter running in the other direction "hay Walter, quick question did you see my wallet yesterday?" he said as Walter ran straight past in an obvious hurry.
-
"I thought that as well. What could it mean though?" Raphael looked around the apartment, noticing the stacks of paper. The sound of Emily singing was soothing. He thought she was quite good. "If no-one minds, I'm gonna meditate for a minute." He sat down cross legged and closed his eyes. He focused on the yin-yang, the perfect symbol of balance. Could their meeting be chance? Or perhaps some fate has brought them here?
-
Emily continued to prep for the next fifteen minutes, then she started to cook, going into a half trance, she continued to sing. her sense of smell enhanced slightly so she could smell the ingredients cooking.
-
Walter whipped around in the direction of his name. "WHAT!? WHO!? OH! Max!" He snapped his fingers. "Right! No I haven't seen it but perhaps you could help me. I'm looking for a homeless looking feline cat named Kitt...About yay tall." He gestured his his hand. "You seen him? He probably knows where it might have ended up." Walter really had no interest in socializing with Max. He had to find Kitt and tell him what Alex had told Walter about. He had to find out who the "others" were and tell them as well. "Wait...Where are you going, Max?"
-
"come with me i think i can find him!" max called listening to the walls. "now find him for me, find who this man needs." max said to a near by insect. he looked over at Walter and looked away quickly. "so care to tell my yourself? i know you have a message for him and i know it involves others but your shadow wont let out anymore."
-
Halfeb took a seat and looked around all the papers, He started reading through one of them, all about this world Emily had made. The stories really started to blow his mind with how much detail and complexity and everything he enjoyed in a story. He started reading and he was hooked, at least till he finish one pile.
-
Walter was baffled. Anyone could tell by the look on his Walter's face at Max's comment on his shadow but ignored it. "I need him because there are people after us. He and I are in danger but I can't exactly say why or what they want with us. My sources tell me that it is he and I who need to find out who these others are and warn them as well. I am a medium, you see, and the dead are speaking. They are warning us."
-
Kitt walked out of the shop and sighed, he was somehow rather glad that everyone had forgotten about him. Being around a lot of people made him nervous, there where too many variables for what could happen. He set off down the street back towards Walter's house, but was surprised to see Walter outside, and apparently looking for him.
Kitt glanced up at the sun as he approached Walter, he had barely been an hour, so there must be a reason for his impatience... "Uh, sorry for the wait... The people at the checkout where insisting that I must have stolen the money, and where threatening to call the police on me..." He shrugged and handed over the bag of food "I get that all the time..."
-
"a medium, cool. i guess you can call me a medium of sorts to, but i don't talk to ghosts........the shadows call to me, speaking to me as if it were perfectly normal." max looked up ad kitt walked up the street "if you see my wallet, i work at the animal shelter down on third." he said walking off quickly afterwords.
-
Lost without any thing to do, he sat there looking out the window, thinking about what the earth told him. If the moon can speak, what else can, he thought long and hard, until he heard a noise, it wasn't just some noise, it was as if it spoke, but what it said was unsure, and if it spoke at all was lost. The sound was just a second, it noise was gone, he didn't know who what, or why it was made, he looked around, every one doing there own thing, none of them heard it, except him. That means it could only be one thing, 'Emily's gift would be quite nice right now', he thought to him self, as he looked at the new guy, he wasn't very nice, going through someone else stuff,f but he looked as if he had wealth, doubted he ever needed, so he got what he wanted, and wasn't to sure that he actually ever asked.
-
Kitt watched as Max left, noting the comment on his wallet and instinctively putting a hand to where it lay in his jacket pocket. He wondered for a moment, but decided against saying anything... Instead Kitt glanced up at Walter "What do you mean the dead are talking? Dead people dont talk... And why are you in danger?" He frowned. Though highly illogical the ability to somehow converse with the dead couldn't be ruled out. Or at least, for someone to think they could talk to the dead... As for the danger, well. There where things from his past that would definitely fit that description...
-
Finally, she got the cubed potatoes boiling in the water and clam juice, then adding in the onion, they would need to boil for a bit, she continued, by chopping up the bacon, frying them, still keeping the fat and putting it in...then she added the flour, cream, clams and salt and pepper, she let it boil for a while, letting the delicious smell announce to the boys in her house that it would be ready very soon. from the cup bored, a long, French baguette, cutting it up into slices. she added the last ingredient las which was the parsley, she ass very little. after a bit she turned off the heat to let it cool for a bit. the one thing that was special about clam chowder was that only good memories came out of it when she ate it. she would always take extra care with making it. she tasted the soup, heavenly. she was glad she made enough for second helpings. she took out medium size, matching bowls and set them out with soup spoons.
-
Raphael sniffed at the wonderful smells that came from the kitchen. Yawning as he came out of his meditation, he got up and walked over to the table, being careful not to knock over any of the paper piles. "It smells delicious Emily. Does this mean that its ready?" His stomach growled in agreement with him.
-
"yes it does" she smiled as she filled a bowl with a ladle "would you like bread with that?" she looked towards the doorway to her living room, she sighed, her house needed a good cleaning...sooon. "if your hungry come and get it now!"
-
"Yes please!" He said with enthusiasm. As he took the slice of bread, he put it next to his bowl and grabbed his spoon. He dipped it into the chowder and brought it to his mouth. He took a sip and immediately his eyes widened and his ears perked up. Grabbing the entire bowl with both hands, he ate the entire bowl in seconds. "Ahhhhhh. That was easily the best thing I've ever eaten." He took the bread slice and used it to mop up the soup left on his face, eating it too very fast. "You are the best chef ever Emily."
-
"I am glad you like my cooking" she replied cheerfully. she ate hers slowly. "would you like another bowl or are you too full?"
-
"Oh yes please!" Raphael had never had anything this good at the monastary. It was always rice crakers, peas, corn meal, simple things. He appreciated the food he had, but this blew all of it out of the water.
-
Emily refilled his bowl "Instead of shoving it down your throat, I challenge you to savor each and every bite, eat it with the bread" she leaned in closer and whispered "and later for dinner, I plan on making a French dish, you are more than welcome to stay for dinner and for dessert, just ice cream" she handed back the bowl "remember, savor it"
-
"I accept your challenge!" He took his spoon and loudly sipped his meal. Embarrassed, he apologized and quietly continued to eat spoonfull by spoonfull. It felt really good to be with such good company around his age. "Thank you for letting me stay for dinner. Forgive me if I'm being rude, but I noticed your home is a bit, um, disorganized. I'd be more than happy to organize it for you in exchange for you hospitality." He took another spoonfull, trying to pick out all the different ingredients she used.
-
Emily laughed "I know it is, it actually usually not like this, I just went through a weird phase. but if you wish to do so then go ahead, its not that bad." smiling she ate a couple more spoonfuls. "art is my second nature...cooking, drawing, writing, painting...so you will ALOT of it in the piles, mind you"
-
"If your art is half as good as your cooking, Da Vinci would be envious of you." He took a bite of bread, savoring it as well, just in case she was counting it. "Uhm, excuse me, but where's your bathroom?" He hadn't gone at all today and it was beginning to cause him great discomfort.
-
"Its down the hall to your left" she smiled "well, cooking is just a fraction of what I could do"
-
Halfeb sniffed the air, taking him out of his trance of reading as he went through one of the piles. He got up and came into the dinning room and took a owl and sat down, "This smells delisous." He said and he started to sip the soup. "Mmmm, my cook could learn a thing or two from you." He said as he kept eatting, "Don't get me wrong, he's a good cook and all, but, all he dose is burgers, sausages and snack foods. Thank goodness my jo is so physically demanding or I'd be sooo overweight." He added between mouthfuls.
-
Emily laughed heartily " I eat like this all the time, and I am not overweight" smiling she poured herself a second helping. "I am just right" she patted her flat stomach playfully and began to eat again while going through her cook book briefly. she then closed it " so, Halfeb, do you enjoy being in the center of attention, those girls seemed to worship you" she teased. her emerald eyes looking at him with curiosity.
-
He chuckled, "Well, I don't do what I do for the attention." He told her as he kept eatting, "I mean, don't get me wrong, its very nice. Having girls faun over me and swoon and all. But, I do what I do, because, well, I'm bored." He told them with honesty, "You see, ever since I was young, no matter what I did, I wouldn't get hurt or die when I did stupid stuff. At first I thought it was just luck, but, over the years I've really pushed it." He told them, "Russian roulette, jumped out of a moving plane without a parachute. Everytime, I came out unscathed. So, I'm bored. There's no excitement or danger anymore." He told them as he took some bread and dipped it into the chowder and ate it.
-
max walked into the shelter. he quickly turned around and went back and grabbed a can of soft drink out of the broken fridge before going back inside. "hay Jake, and calls?" "you ask me that every day you have off and its always the same answer, you don't have a phone." "so, the fridge is complaining by the way." "oh yea that reminds me, why did you throw out the fridge? it had my lunch in it." "oh that was your lunch, i gave it to some homeless guy yesterday." he walked out of the room leaving the cat sighing. "just coz you can talk to shadows doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!" Jake called down the hall.
-
"a dare devil huh?" she continued to eat slowly "I can see why your bored, you have done everything that has the meaning for stupid"
-
Seth walked over and sat next to emily, "he could try doing something less destrective, and more helpfull"
-
Raphael returned from the bathroom and sat down in his chair, "Much better." He took another spoonfull of chowder and listened intently to the conversation.
-
He nodded, "Pritty much. Everything legal anyhow." He told them, "I mean, I know I'm lucky, ut, dosn't mean I wont go to jail if I do bbad things." He took a sip of the chowder. "As for doing something helpful, fifty percent of all my proceeds go to helping people in need. From street kids, to families in Africa." He told him. "I'm not a jerk, just got a deathwish, as my manager tells me."
-
Raphael looked at Halfeb like he was from outer space. Death wishes, 50% of proceeds to charity, jail? "What is it that you do that brings so much danger to yourself?" They didn't have television at the monastary so he didn't know anything about who this guy was.
-
"Well, that's good, but where does the other half of your money go to?" looking at Seth, she asked if he was hungry. her phone vibrated, a phone call, from her 'friend' at school ,she turned it off and ignored it. "well, it seems to me that...your rather indestructible"
-
"Setting up shows, paying staff, fixing vechiles, and, in the end, I get enough to live comfortably." He tells her about the other half of his money. "Yeah, thats one way of thinking about it. But, its just so boring. I mean, its like all the challenge is taken out of life." He added before turning to Raph, "I'm a Daredevil. I do outragous stunts ot entertain people." He tells him before finishing his chowder. "Mmm, delisious. Anymore?"
-
Walter looked around. "Kitt, there are people after you and me. I don't know who they are but I think it might have to do with our talents. I know I never told you before but I can speak to the dead. The things they say are often warnings of impending danger or disasters." He looked over his shoulder and leaned closer to Kitt. "People want to kill us! They're coming here now. Right now!" He looked back again. "You know what? Come with me." He began walking back to his house. "Come now, we must figure this out."
-
Kitt blanched as Walter spoke, instinctively ducking for a moment before covering the reaction "I do not know what you are talking about... You think I have a gift?" He grinned but walked along anyway... As they walked however, reels of calculations and evaluations skimmed through his mind, thoughts entirely on what Walter had meant, and exactly who it was after him... It seemed his past might be catching up faster than he had though...
As the pair walked back towards Walter's house a car rolled past. It was ordinary in every sense of the word, a simple saloon, nondescript blue paint with non-blacked out windows. It drove past with the rest of the traffic, just another vehicle in a crowd of hundreds.
Inside the car was another story however. A hidden camera shutter clicked time after time as the car drove by, photograph after photograph sent through direct uplink on an encoded signal wavelength.
To those on the streets, nothing out of the ordinary had happened...
-------- [Soviet Military Bunker - codename: 'Red Dawn' - Moscow]--------
Cigar smoke curled around the low ceiling of the concrete room, electric light humming overhead as a man cast in dark shadow leant over the steel-topped table. Before him lay a serious of blown-up photographs. Walter and Kitt where clearly shown, several photos of their faces, others of full body. The man took another heavy drag on his cigar and leant forward towards the young officer before him. He spoke gruffly, Russian accent thick and slurred "Отличная работа. Вытяните наблюдения и отправить в дельте команды. Мне нужна тема прекращается ... Нет ошибки должны быть сделаны в этот раз ..." *
*Excellent work. Pull out the surveillance and send in delta team. I need the subject terminated... No mistakes are to be made this time...
-
"Interesting Halfeb. That must be very exciting for you." Raphael finished his chowder and bread and wiped his maw with a napkin. "That was even more delicious than the first time Emily. Thank you again. Where is your sink so I can wash my bowl?"
-
"behind me" smiling she finifshed her bowl too, putting it in the sink, she filled up Halfeb's bowl again.

[United States Supernatural Agency--- secret warehouse---NYC]
"He's responding to the drug, but its weak, do it again"
"yes doctor"
behind the bullet proof glass, a lad about nineteen, was chained, his arms high above his head, on his knees, raw scars across his bare chest, the black wolf prick his ears as he heard the door, a lady, with a long syringe, filled to the brim with the same, liquid drug.
The Doctor watched with joy as he so called 'patient' thrashed violently to get away from the drug. his phone rang. sighing in annoyance, he answered it. "Reginald, god to hear from you, I heard you were coming"
Indeed I am...I want you to do something for me
"yes, anything"
I sent you a file, of our new patient, Emily Story, I want you to look her up
The doctor went over to a computer, sure enough, a file was emailed to him, opening it, popped up several photos and information. the docotor smiled "well, she is rather lovely..."
yes yes I know, her gift is...how should I explain it...artistic
"ah! the Kuznetsov experiment...." he checked her stats, his face fell "oh dear...."
what is it?
"well, you see, i came across something about these particular gifts, that how they express their gifts through art"
yes yes I know! i have his journal, but the last pages of it was torn so I have no idea how much a potential threat she is!
"that would depend on what her skills are...its seems that she has a very complex one, one that I have never seen, her stats show that all five are activated instead of one, the sixth sense however is barely even closed....she is odd, but as a threat...not that I see"
Reginald hung up. the doctor returned to his usual routine of torture
-
A whistled filled Seth's ear, "stay...pure...run...danger", Seth looked around, no one but him heard it,what could it be, there are to many people to talk about this right now, so he just sat and concentrated.
-
Halfeb finished his second bowl and eased back for his phone went off. IT was a text, from his manager. Halfeb sighed, "Oh man, and here I was almost enjoying myself." He said to the others, before putting his phone away, "My manager likes to keep a close eye on me. He's sending one of my cars around. Knowing him it'll be the astern martin." He said, "But, forget him, I'll get home when I get home." He added, before taking his bowl to the sink.
-
Emily stretched, and smiled at Seth, he looked troubled. she went over, in a whisper she asked "is everything alright...you look troubled"
-
After he finished washing his bowl, he went over to the piles of papers and begun to organize them. Pictures with people went in one pile, objects in another, and stories and a third. Unbeknown to him, Raphael had a mild case of obsessive compulsive disorder which caused him to want to clean just about everything. He didn't have to, it just really bugged him if he didn't.
-
Walter ran in through the door and slammed it closed behind Kitt. "Kitt, I don't want to sound crazy. Alex Harvey, the man who owned this house is telling me that there are people coming after us. People like you and me. I don't know what that means exactly but we need to find out who they are, why they want us, and what we're going to do. We cannot just sit here!"
-
"Yea...... I'm fine"
-
Kitt frowned, chewing his bottom lip "You are not crazy... This I know, and people are coming after me, and always have been..." He shook his head, clearing his thoughts and glancing back up at Walter "No, we cannot just sit here. We sit here we die. Simple... We move, I have always kept on move my entire life. Staying at yours was perhaps mistake, but they would have caught up regardless..."
He sighed and scratched the back of his head in deep thought "Perhaps... You can converse with dead spirits, or what you consider to be dead spirits. Well, can you ask this Alex Harvey if he knows of anything else, perhaps who these other people 'like you and me' are?"
-
As Raphael organized the papers, he began to notice how much detail each one was. It was almost like looking at photographs of the entire city. Alot of them were of Central Park, almost enough to make a map of the entire area, just from these pictures. He was almost done, just one more corner to go.
-
Halfeb walked in behind Raph and looked at the pictures. "Amazing arn't they?" He said to Raph, looking at the piles, "You think she drew these all by hand?"
-
"I think so. It looks like a photograph, but the easel over there says that she draws. Astounding." Raphael said this without looking up, focused on cleaning and organizing the piles. He shooked his head and blinked as if waking up from a trance. "I'm sorry, I got your name, but I don't think I properly introduced myself. I'm Raphael. Nice to meet you." He extended his paw to shake hands with Halfeb.
-
He shakes Raphs hand then bows respectfully. "G'day, I'm Halfeb." He said looking at the picture again, before looking at Raph, "So, purely guessing cause of how you're dressed, but, you're a monk, right?" He asked Raph, "I spent some time a while back with monks in Tibet, trying to find tranqility." He told him.
-
Raphael hesitated with his answer, looking down at the floor. "I used to be. Monks are supposed to be kind and understanding to all things. But I feel strong hate towards my mom. She abandoned me when I was a baby. The monks at the temple here in New York took me in and raised me. As if being one of them didn't make me stand out enough, my balancing "gift" made me stand out more. I recently found out where she was and wanted to stay with her, that maybe it was a misunderstanding. Maybe she just forgot me somewhere and looked everywhere for me." Tears began to well up in Raphael's eyes. His voice cracking as he convulse. "Why did she leave me? Why didn't she love me?" Raphael was now sobbing uncontrollably in his hands on the floor. He didn't mean to tell them this much. The chowder, the friends, it all just made him feel like maybe someone wanted him.
-
Halfeb sat next to his on the floor. He put one arm around him. "Maybe it wasn't that she didn't love or want you. Maybe it was a case of family pressure. Like, they did want her to keep the baby." He told Raph, consoling him. "We don't know what others are thinking. You know, unless we have that gift." He added.
-
Emily, hugged Seth, smiling, she walked into the room, it looked much better. "if you are wondering, yes, i did draw all these..." pulling a box from a shelf, filled would drawing journals "take a look through these, you'll like them" Raphael was sobbing, gulping she knelt down on one knee, hugging him. she said nothing, after a while she thought of something, taking his hand, she smiled kindly down at him "come here, I'll show you my studio"
-
He managed to stop crying but couldn't help fimself from siffling. He followed Emily to her studio, wondering what would be inside. More drawings? Journals? He couldn't even hazard a guess.
-
smiling, Emily opened the door, to reveal, several, beautiful paintings drawings. she had brought many famous and talented artists in, all went green with envy. she went to a shelf and took out a black journal. "Look at this...its special, its a very dark story with a happy ending..."
-
Raphael looked at the journal, then back to emily, then back to the journal, slowly reaching his hands out and grasping it firmly. He grabbed Emily in a big bear hug. *sniff* "Thank you. Thank you." He let her go, opening the journal and beginning to read. "Is it alright if I sit in the dining room and read?"
-
"your welcome" she said softly "yes, go ahead and read.."
-
Raphael walked into the room where Halfeb and Sain were. He gave a little smile and nodded to both of them to signal that he was okay. He sat down against a wall and began to read the journal intently.
-
Walter scratched his head and paced in the living room. He looked to the portraits on the wall which Alex was, again, missing from. He turned his direction to his couch where he saw Alex sitting with a glass of scotch. "Hey there, friend!" He said with his usual overly cheerful 40's advertisement smile. Walter looked back at Kitt. "No, he doesn't know anything. Let's go." He took hold of the cat quickly and pulled him out the door. Walter was sure he'd shoot himself before having another sit-down with Harvey. "What do you think, Kitt? I need to hear it from you."
-
Reginald watched his minions work their way on their weapons and machines as they drove down the street in a black, tinted window limousine. sure it drawed attention, but they had space. Zanya and Lucinda were armored and ready, they sat impatiently. he smiled, knowing that his girls were ready for some action.
"Zanya, I will drop you off, a block away from Spike's apartment, the alleyway should be enough cover...make it quick sweetheart"
Zanya fixed her fingerless gloves "this will be easy" . Reginald turned and faced Lucinda " I want you to separate Emily from the rest, she is valuable, I want her information ASAP, I will send others to get the others 'gifted ones' to the lab for extractions, I expect you both to be in this alley way by three o'clock... Lucinda, once you have Emily, bring her here, I will question her as we go to D.C"
"Understood darling" Lucinda cooed. Reginald, dropped off Lucinda first, then he went off...Lucinda stared up at the building, she was filled with excitement as she walked through the doors....
--------------
Emily's hair on the back of her neck stood on end. a cold chill went down her spine as she exited the studio and into the foyer. then opened the door...the hall was empty, quiet. her heart pounded in her ears....her senses flared up powerfully. something was definitely wrong. slowly entering the hallway, she closed the door behind her. slowly, she walked down the hallway, listening, smelling...her finger tips trailed across the wall. she stopped, silence. but she slowly turned her head to her left. there, leaning casually against the wall was a beautiful black cat woman, smiling.
"Hello Emily" she greeted. before Emily could react, she quickly pulled out a taser gun, Volts shot through Emily's body as she hit the floor without a scream, unconscious, Lucinda drugged her. six, large, heavily muscled men appeared, all dressed in black.
" five doors down to your right boys" the sixth one slung the unconscious Emily over his shoulder and followed Lucinda out.....
-------------------
Zanya creeped up the wall, sneaking into the house of the two.... she was informed that Spike and Kitt was here, but they were unsure of Max.... Zanya stalked silently down the hall...
-
max heard something, a shadow calling for help across the street. he looked out the window and saw a girl being carried over the shoulders of a larger male. he quickly ran down the small staircase and out the front of the shelter but they were gone so he slowly went back inside cautiously waiting till later to investigate.
-
Lucinda and the big guy holding Emily turned down to the alleyway unnoticed. Lucinda smiled at her easy success, she saw the black Limo, a man waited out by the door, he opened it for her as she got in. the big dude got it too, placing the unconscious Emily in a seat, he hand cuffed her. Reginald, who's face was some what in the dark smiled "good....very, very good" ......
Zanya was getting closer to the target, they had no idea when she was going to strike....
-
Kitt opened his mouth to answer, but stopped. He paused with one ear cocked and a frown forming "I think we are going to be forced to play our hand sooner than I had hoped..." He pulled off his bag and unzipped it, pulled out an old metal spanner, and then threw it down the hallway. It rattled and clanked against the doorway at the other end of the house, as Kitt pulled Walter in the opposite direction "Keep quiet and move fast..."
On the roof of one of the many buildings opposite central park a figure shifted cautiously. Sunlight reflected off a glass lens, glinting momentarily as the figure brought the sniper scope back to one eye. The doorway of Spike's house was brought back into the crosshairs "являются цели видимо?" The figure put a finger to the mic at his mouth and replied gruffly "Target's not in sight, sniper one through three are in place..."
In two other buildings overlooking central park two other figures, all concealed in windows and crevices, replied in their own mics. Rifles where primed and three red dots hovered over the doorway of Spike's house, window and pathway...
-
Zanya cursed under her breath as she attacked with blinding speed, she aimed and ready to shoot her gun, she fired in between Spike and Kitt. "Don't you dare move" she ordered fericely.
-----------
"Sir we have a situation" the big guy said, Reginald hissed with anger "what is it?" he snapped. from his computer, the big guy gulped "the Russians are here sir...Agent 66 just picked them up on radar."
"Get Zanya out of there!" Lucinda said franticly. Reginald slapped Lucinda "no! she needs to bring them here!" he crushed his small glass of scotch. " I'll give her five minutes"
-
Seth sat there looking out the window, "where is emily" he said out loud, but more to him self, the sound from earlyer is ringing through his ears but isn't understandable.
-
"I think she went out the door," said Raphael. He took the piece of paper with his mom's address on it and bookmarked his place in the journal. Putting it inside his robe, he got up and walked over to Seth. "I don't think I introduced myself to you either. Raphael," he said, extending his hand to shake Seth's.
-
the door to Emily's home was violently kicked open, the five men in black strode in, taser guns in hand. "alright boys, lets get these kids, every single one of them" he smiled evilly "I bet they don't know that we have the girl"
-
Kitt suddenly stood still, glancing from Zanya to the bullet hole inthe wall, less than an inch away from the tip of his nose. He cocked his head to one side with a slightly puzzled look "But?- You are not Russian..." he glanced out of the window, escape was improbable, but then again-
He stopped, a slight glint caught his eye from the the faraway buildings. His eyes widened and he swore loudly "Do' Riti!" in one panic-stricken moment he lunged for Walter and dragged the two of them down onto the floor with a thud. Around them the living room exploded in a maelstrom of bullets and splinters...
---- Less than five second ago- opposite central park New York- roof of the Sunrise Apartment block ----
The sniper pulled back his balaclava, a young wolf with sharp eyebrows and even sharper teeth. He tapped his mic and shifted uncomfortably "The target is still not leaving the premises. This is unit 1 requesting further instructions...." The wolf waited for almost a minute, static crackling through the headphone. Finally a reply came, hazy bu distinct and harsh "Разрешение на открытие огня ... Убейте их..."
The wolf nodded and signalled to the other two snipers. All leant into their rifles, took aim, and fired. Across the park Walter's living room window exploded in a shower of glass...
-
Zanya dodged the bullets, she landed next to the subjects, right away she pulled out her taser and electrocuted them. in her ear piece she heard the voice "Zanya, get them and get out of there now, the Russians are on us..."
"On it" she replied.
-----------------------------------
[ United. States. Supernatural. Agency]
the wolf was left alone for now.... his eyes were closed, he watched in his mind how Reginald captured the girl...he tightened his chained fists in anger. growling low. he watched as the girl continued to remain unconscious. he connect with her...
Emily...wake up, fight, get out of there, you'll only get hurt... you are needed, you are special to me and I do not want you to be harmed...
"Wake up Wren!"
Wren was snapped out of his trance, his eyes narrowed with anger, as torture began again....
-
max woke from an afternoon nap to the sounds of terror, screams of terror and suprise. "what the! aaaaggggghhhhhh!!!" pain ripped through him as the screams echoed in his skull. he fell to his knees holding his hands over his ears to try and block it out but the voices just got louder.
-
the door to Emily's home was violently kicked open, the five men in black strode in, taser guns in hand. "alright boys, lets get these kids, every single one of them" he smiled evilly "I bet they don't know that we have the girl"
Time seemed to slow as Chuck heard the door cave in and the commands issued. Was someone really after children, or were they just after him. Back in the day, some higher ups took a very strange interest in Chuck, making them the first people he'd ever run from. And from his standpoint, it looks like they came back to find him.
The flow of time seemed to resume going normally as his thoughts were collected, acting quick, he grabbed the monk to try and bait the other gifted into following and slammed open the door to the fire escape and started running down the stairs.
-
one of the five at lightning speed appeared in front of Chuck, smiling he threw him to the ground and help him "where do you think your going" the other three grabbed Seth, Halfeb and Raphael. the one who stood by the door smiled coldly "drug them" was all he said, each one grabbed a powerful sleeping drug and injected the powerful needle into their necks....
((Read OCC if you are confused))
-
"LET GO OF ME" Seth yelled as he bared his teeth, and flapped his wings Ferociously, the air around him began to spin in a vortex, picking up small debrie. It began to take shape, but it wasn't totally identifiable, the object jumped at the man knocking him almost all out of the window, Seth felt his neck, and pulled out a small Syringe, 'dam..' he thought as his body feel to the floor, he dint know what just happend.
-
As the drug coursed through Chuck's veins, his mouth began to froth and he felt great pain as he tried to stay awake. He grasped the one suit's leg, the one who had threw him down and whispered feebly...
"Why...." before he passed out.
-
the man who injected the drug into the neck of the bat boy hoisted him over his broad shoulder, followed out by the guy who got the one who almost escaped, casually leaving. the group leader smiled "two down... three more to go..." pulling out his walkie talkie he said "send an agent to get Max Shadow" several more men in black came in " clear out everything belonging to Emily Story, the boss needs it ASAP!"
an agent walked into the Animal shelter, there was Max Shadow, he was in pain, covering his ears, as if something was way to loud. this was sooo easy. injecting the sleeping drug into his neck, the boy would be out in a matter of seconds...
--------------
Reginald was not so pleased with interference of the Russians... he was beginning to hope that it would end smoothly, his phone rang in "what!" he snapped, on the other line, a sultry, low female voice replied on the other line "now..is that how you treat your sponsor Reginald?"
Reginald's blood went cold. "ah...Anastasia, what a surprise to hear from you..."
"you were expecting me to call Reginald...now I heard about the new comers, your doctor send me the files of each one"
Reginald tried not to growl "did he now..." the woman sighed "I am just as much as apart of this scheme as you are..." she was right, Reginald loosened his collar, he was sweating slightly, this woman terrorized him "what do you want?"
"I want to experiment on all of them, each one seems rather interesting...they have no real good gifts for your so called Super army like your Favorite. by the way, how is Wren doing?"
Reginald crossed his leg uncomfortably " his immunity is making it difficult to drug him...and of course how indestructible he is"
she chuckled lightly "now about your new group, it seems that Halfeb Jones picked up rather nicely on radar...came up as an indestructible one....not as powerful as Wren though, luckily your men picked him up, even though it could of been by accident"
Reginald was pleased....very, very, very pleased to hear this....
-
Raphael slowly woke to find himself in some kind of vehicle. He could barely move, but wasn't sure if it was the ties around his hands and feet or just him being groggy. He could make out figures in his haze, but couldn't tell who or they were. Suddenly, he felt a prick in his neck and blacked out.
-
voices rolled in and out off Max's head, telling him everything while telling him nothing. telling him to sleep but stay awake. he didn't know what was happening, who were these people? why had they captured him and the others he could sense in the vehicle, he only recognised one of the others as raph from earlyer, he decided to just lay there in to much pain to move.
-
Emily kept coming in and out of consciousness, but never stayed awake to long to find out why this was happening to her...
------earlier--------
"this is taking to long, Lucinda, take Emily back, we need to begin ASAP" Lucinda nodded, the big dude carried Emily, stealing a near by sports car, Lucinda drove off with Emily.
-------------------
Light, bright light. Emily slowly opened her eyes, she felt pain all over her body. trying to sit up, she couldn't, upon realizing that she was strapped to a hospital bed. panicking she tried to move, ignoring the pain.
"Hello Emily, glad to see you awake" a womans voice spoke. Emily stopped, and gave a death glare to the huskey woman wearing scrubs and a doctor's coat "where in hell am I" she snarled. the doctor smiled coldly " I am forbidden to tell you that information, but I am here to tell you that your surgery went very well"
Surgery?1 she thought in confusion. "yes, every new patient must go through a special enhancements in order to function properly here. we ejected a formula into your body that will make you stronger, faster, have more stamina than the average person..." Emily's eyes grew narrow with anger. "also we boosted your immune system so you are immune to most of, if not all of poisons and diseases" the doctor gave her a sneer "I hope that you rest well, because tomorrow, you wont have time for rest..." and with that,something pricked her neck and she went out...
-
Raphael awoke to total darkness. Trying to get up, he found himself restrained by straps. "Oh good, you are awake. How are you feeling?" Still groggy from the drugs, he could barely respond, "Uuuggghhh, wha, where am I?" Why you're in our little world Raphael. Just you and me." "Wh, Wh, Wh." "Why are you here? To put it bluntly, you have something I want. Your gift." "J, Jou, Journal." "Journal? Ah yes, that little black book I found in your clothes. Would you like it back?" Raphael had very little energy left, and so could only nod his head. "Well I'll tell you what Raphael. I'll make a deal with you. If you help me find the source of your gift, I'll give you your journal back. Deal?" Raphael couldn't stay awake any longer and blacked out once more. "I'll take that as a yes."
-
Zanya dodged the bullets, she landed next to the subjects, right away she pulled out her taser and electrocuted them. in her ear piece she heard the voice "Zanya, get them and get out of there now, the Russians are on us..."
"On it" she replied.
Walter was overwhelmed that all of this was happening. Suddenly, he felt a shooting pain engulf his body. "AHHHH!!!!" He yelled in pain from the taser. If there was one thing he'd hated, it was stun guns. When Walter was a kid, he and his friends would always play hot potatoe with one when they were bored. Stupid childhood save me now. He thought to himself. He'd gotten used to being shocked by tasers ever since then. It was a short moment of confusion and overwhelming pain...but it was temporary. Walter had taken time to collect himself while Zanya was taking cover from Russian gunfire. Walter shaky hand reached into his jacket and brandished his Walther P38 pistol. He took aim and fired, hitting Zanya in the hip. "Kitt!!! Lassen Sie durch die Hintertür!!!" (Leave through the back door) He screamed.
-
Zanya roared with Pain, but growling, she took out another weapon, and fired, instead of bullets, they were darts with the same sleeping drug, she shot Spike in the neck, then again at Kitt in the leg. she smirked, but then gritted her teeth as the pain pulsed through her leg and side. Damn them...
-
Walter's eyes quickly bulged when he felt the needle hit his neck. His world suddenly began to get blurry. He slumped down against the wall across from Zanya. He slowly raised his pistol again and fired, the second bullet hitting his frying pan hanging from the wall, the shot bounced with a *TING* and a splat when it hit Zanya in the back of her shoulder, exiting through her and hitting a lamp above Walter's head, causing it to explode. "Dammit Alex...Where the hell....are....you-?" Walter mumbled before passing out.
Had Zanya looked at the portraits, she'd notice that the smiling man was missing. She was not alone in the house. The lights began to violently flicker about the house. Alex Harvey wasn't happy when it came to home invasions. The Hell House on 15th Avenue was about to come to life.
-
Kitt scrambled amongst the broken glass and shouted back at Spike "Ich bin nicht verlasse dich!" (I'm not leaving you!) The fact that he had shouted it in fluent german, despite having never set foot in the country was a minor issue among much larger problems. Namely the dart that was sticking out of his calf. He stumbled again, getting halfway into a standing position next to the window, before slumping back down onto the floor, vision blurring into darkness...
-----
Up on the roof Sniper One kept his eye pressed close to the scope of his rifle. The window, and much of its frame, was gone. And already at least one police siren could be heard. He licked his lips and tensed his finger on the trigger...
Suddenly a figure slumped up against the window, before collapsing. It was only a fleeting view. But the Wolf had been studying photographs of the target for several hours now. That was him. He pulled out of the prone position and tapped his mic, folding up the rifle and signalling to the other two snipers "Subject terminated... This is delta team, reporting out, comrade..."
-
angry, Zanya ordered the man that came in to get the targets, carrying them away, she was scared as an angry, supernatural feeling exploded through out the house. the men swiftly took Spike and Kitt out, and into the car, coming back to retrieve her...her heart thumped wildly as her hip and shoulder throbbed in pain.
-
Before Zanya's men could enter the house to retreive her, the doors to the house slammed shut. They were like walls of brick and impossible to get open. Zanya was at the mercy of Alex Harvey now. Strangely though, the house had fallen silent. Even the sound of her man banging against the door were drowned out by complete silence. The rooms which had been torn to shreds had been now fixed to the way they used to be. Something was different however. The atmosphere had changed. The sound had changed to children laughing outside. Alex was sitting down against the wall across from Zanya but he paid no attention to her. He was dressed in his military uniform. The window shades were open and it was snowing outside. Outside, Zanya could see that everything looked different...as if time had gone back 50 years earlier. Alex had a pistol in his hand but he was looking down at it with fear.
Suddenly, his eyes shot up. He was staring at Zanya in the eyes but he said nothing. His stare was cold and frightening. Before he could say anything he put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. Blood and brain matter sprayed the wall and ceiling behind him in and upward motion. The body of Alex Harvey fell limp in front of Zanya.
Alex twitched. He looked up with bloody tears filling his eyes. He smiled that same classy smile like always. "You're mine now, Zanya." His body exploded into dust which found it's way into Zanya's body. In that instant, the house went back to the same state it used to be and the doors swung open allowing Zanya's goons to enter.
-
Zanya felt something enter inside her body just as the door opened....
------------------------------------------
Emily woke up again, but this time was not in the hospital room.... instead she woke up in a black cat suit with combat boots on. WHAT THE HELL!!!! she thought. she quickly got up. she was in a small, white room. she looked down at herself, luckily the cat suit was not .... revealing. it zipped up all the way to her collar bone. in a rage she started banging on the walls, kicking and yelling. running at full speed, slamming into the white wall. not bothering if it hurts. blinded by rage, she didn't realize that they walls were starting to crack under her pounding and kicking.
-----outside the wall--------
the whole time they watched Emily, all of them growing nervous, the formula they used on every newbie to enhance their body and mind physically was taking to her way to well. thats when they noticed the walls falling apart. one of the doctors frantically called for serious back up.
"Subject 426 is breaking through, we need back up now!!"
thats when all of Emily's rage was bottled into and exploded as she broke free. "she has escaped!! code red code red!!"
a alarm went off as other men in armor came down the hall to meet Emily. at full super speed, Emily charged at the group.
-
Chuck's finger twitched, and and he sniffed. it twiched again and he woke, groaning as he did. sitting up he held his head in his hands, sleeping on a cold hard floor was not fun. He tried to stand, but then collapsed onto his knees ans started to vomit, hard. Soon some blood was coming out.
Whoever kidnapped him didn't realize he needed people to survive, and they deprived him of food, and as such, his gift was feeding off of him, violently attacking his innards. He doubled over on his stomach, the vomiting stopping for now, as his hands silently twitched and he lost consciousness once again.
-
Seth wiped his eyes as he started to regain consciences, "....Where am I!" He screamed, looking around not realizing where he was, his wings wrapped around him self to make him self feel safe. "Look who is finally truly waking up", Seth looked around and saw nothing, "who is that", "oh Lil' o me, don't worry about that, I just was making an observation", Seth looked around the room, he didn't know where he was, he was scared, he dropped to his knees, and began to sob. The air current around him began to spin in a circular motion.
-
---- Red Dawn Bunker, Moscow ----
"Corporal. We have report from Delta team, the target is dead..." A young wolf followed the report with a smart salute, heels together and eyes glancing over the corporal's shoulder. The corporal looked up from a desk of paperwork with a slight frown, his dark eyes narrowing "Proof?" He spat the single word out with contempt.
The wolf swallowed hastily and placed a file down on the desk "Delta team sent the imaging from their digital weapon scopes along with the report. It clearly shows a positive hit on the target-"
The corporal opened the file and snarled "Debulša! These photos prove nothing. How am I to show these to the the Colonel..." He stopped, a dark smile twisting his lips as he pushed the file back across the desk "No... This will do well, you are to show this report to the colonel yourself private... See if he thinks this is proof enough."
-
Like Bowling pins, she charged right through the group. she slipped, she was still light headed, but still ran down the white halls, not realizing that she was shouting for her friends names, she hit, kicked and dashed by people who were dressed in black....
-
Raphael awoke to the sound of loud bangs, akin to a wrecking ball through concrete. He noticed he was wearing a skin tight jumpsuit instead of his robes, jet black and covered all of his body except his head. Getting up, he noticed he was also in a pure white room. No doors, windows, or any signs of anything. He had a dream like this once, he didn't like it. Fear welled up inside him as he began to back up. Hitting an invisible wall, he spun around on the spot and saw only white. He was really scared now, his breathing had become erratic and shallow. He begun to twitch as the fear gripped him, paralyzing him in spot. He couldn't move any part of his body. The bangs we're getting louder. He begun to hear screaming as well. Gathering all of his will, he let out a mighty "HEEELLLLLPP!" hoping that whoever was making that noise would hear him. His thoughts turned back to his mother. How she abandoned him. The white walls turned red, the sounds became louder still. Twitching and snarling, he began to run away from the invisible wall, only to find that another one was right in front of him. Roaring with rage, he ran again, hitting another wall in less than a second. He began punching the wall at lightning speed, though to limited avail. He stopped and yellled, "WHERE'S MY BOOK!?"
-
Emily stopped as soon as she heard Raphael's voice. frantically she went towards the wall, will all her might she ran at full speed, ramming into the wall with her shoulder. she broke through. she couldn't see through the dust, she coughed, the rage inside her was dying. until a gun fired, whizzing past her head, thats when it flared again. this time, in defense mode.
"Code red, code red, we need more security now!! I do not want this to become a black moment... Private, give me the book" from the crowd a dog man appeared, a black book in its hands, throwing the book at Raphael's feet, the men backed off...only slightly "now then...are we calm?"
Emily screamed with rage as she punched the wall "like hell!"
-
Raphael couldn't believe what had just happened. When the wall broke down, it was in slow motion, as was everything else. He saw Emily through the dust, overjoyed to see her. He saw the bullet float by, the muzzle flash, everything was so slow. The journal! He saw it being tossed towards him. He ran and grabbed it in mid flight, then returned behind Emily. He looked at the journal with rapture. Emily trusted him with this journal. It had a very good story, reminded him of his own life. And they took it. They took it from him. They took his friends away from him. The anger was once again rising within him. As Emily punched the wall again, he dashed towards the guards and gave each of them a lightning fast blow to the face. Though not nearly as strong as she was, Raph certainly was able to damage their helmets. He grabbed the wolf by the neck, hoisting him up and strangeling him, and screamed, "WHERE ARE THE OTHERS!? WHERE ARE OUR FRIENDS!?"
-
max sat quietly rocking in the corner of the clear walled room, he was blinded by the hundreds if lights covering the 6 walls of his cell. he wore a fluro suit so there were now shadows that he could speak to, he sat there quietly, twitching slightly. "I'm alone..........I've never been alone for longer than i remember..........I've never had to be alone...........there's no voices in my mind....." he said calmly looking at a small camera he noticed around 8 hours earlyer. "WHY DID YOU TAKE THEM AWAY!!!!! NEVER TAKE THEM AWAY!!!!! I"LL SHO YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE THE VOICES AWAY!!!!!" he yelled in a demented voice with a crazy stare through his yellow blood shot eyes ".........why does nobody care about the world........." he said going back to quietly swaying in his cell of glass and lights.
-
The air current speed increased, as Seth's fear turned into anger. Seth sat up and looked at the wall to the far east, the air current flew through the wall, and kept destroying walls, until it lost its momentum. Seth started to walk as the air current began to circle around him again, he looked at the last wall that was destroyed, there was only a small hole, but he could see Chuck. "Chuck! Chuck, get up!"
-
the rage that once boiled and grew suddenly dissapeared. Emily feel to he knees, trembling violently, two guards took that as an opportunity to hold her down. "ah yes, the rage side effect has died down, that is good..... your friends. well you'll see them soon at orientation" then man walked away, doing a hand movement has the wall of guards in black moved in
-----------------------
in the cell that Seth and Chuck where in, the people behind the wall sent in four people, a dog, cat, hare, snake, all eyes were glassy, as if like robots as they obediently sat in front of Chuck.
-
Raph watched the guards move in on them. He ran to Emily to get the guards off her, but as soon as he got both off, an ear-shattering shriek pierced his ears. He fell to the ground, covering his ears in pain. They had used a siren to disable him. Quickly tying him up and gagging him, they lifted him up on his feet. He saw his journal on the ground in front of him. He struggled to get to it, but his bindings were too strong. "Now now Raphael, you're being very naughty." He knew that voice. A racoon bent over and picked up the journal. "You'll have to be much nicer if you want this back for good."
-
Chuck was still unconscious, but due to the lack of 'food' in his system, his gift rapidly decomposed the victims, making their flesh rot and turn to dust in a matter of moments. They did not even get a chance to scream at the sudden and intense pain, as they were now just piles of dust.
When Chuck finally stirred, he noticed four piles of dust, and wondered why he was full.
-
Seth fell on his back as he watched in horror, he got up to his feet an ran a diffrent direction, trying to get away from seth, he knew he was a devilish child, but this... it was something else.
-
(the parts in brackets are the translations of the languasge of shadows. it's pronounced as spelt.)
Max was past sanity by this point he stood face to lens, staring through the glass at the camera. “thikre vleshne nokvent ebno fremshekre.” (this shall never be forgotten.) he started laughing hysterically “thikre vleshne nokvent ebno fremshekre..........thikre vleshne nokvent ebno fremshekre!!” he walked over his corner still laughing “bnet bontren exnotch yonte otre netre hante mish svantek.” (but nobody expects you to know what I'm saying.) he smiled at the camera with an evil grin. “freme shintrechken kemretero vleshne ebno gremnetrach inchrenke itmen inshenke!!!” (my slaughtering rampage shall be remembered through time itself!!!) he laughed harder staring through his darkening eyes he could feel the shadows behind the lights crawling closer to him, the shadows in other rooms trying to get to him, he just smiled, siting there in his corner quietly again.
-
"well, Shadow's reaction to the formula is better than what others have done" they glanced nervously as Max Shadow sat in his corner...
__________________
Emily squirmed and freaked as she tried to get away as she was dragged off somewhere else....again calling out all of her friends names, mainly Raphael's. "The Doctor will be most pleased to see you" she was dragged through several halls until they came to a lab... they approached the man in a white lab coat, his hair in a mess.
"Doctor? Emily Story is here" the doctor turned around, the Rat man smiled with glee. "Emily darling, finally!" Emily tried again to get away as the clammy hands grasped her chin as he moved her head to inspect her
"such beauty... well I guess thats what you get for being an "Artisan" " he sneered, excitement filled his eyes, he couldn't wait to test on her.

Wren could see Emily in the lab, rage filled him as the Doctor inspected her, like a piece of meat...thats what they all where to the Doctor. Wren wanted this thing finished and done for...he wanted to stop this agency!
-
The door to the torture room opened and two dragon anthros entered the room, one was a priest with a USSA clearance band on his shoulder, while the other was dressed as a guard, complete with side-arm and a stun baton. The priest, a white scaled dragon, stood next to the prisoner, then faced his torturer. "I was sent to give the official execution, so there is no more need for this brutalizing." The guard, a crimson-scaled dragon, kept his cap over his eyes as he waited for the priest to give Wren his 'send-off'.
-
Wren saw the dragon anthros and knew immediately who they were. he nodded his head, readying himself for action
-
The priest saw Wren's nod and looked towards the crimson dragon, who in turn looked at the other guards one of whom was a green dragon with an assault rifle slung around his shoulder. "Sorry sirs, this is company policy..." the torturer looked rather shocked at what the guard said, but he couldn't reply as the dragon unholstered his pistol and shot the man through the heart, while the green dragon took his rifle and shot at the other two guards in the room. The priest stood there for a moment, then threw his book at the red dragon. "Have I not explicity told you that body shots are more painful than head-shots, yet you still choose to give him a more painful demise!" The red dragon smirked as he shot the camera that he kept his hat on for, then flicked it off as he went to Wren with a pair of keys. "The barrel was bent..." he said with a snicker as Wrent's restraints released him. "It matters not whether the bullet went through the head, or the heart, as long as he is too dead to call for help." The green dragon replied as he helped Wrent onto his own feet. "We would have done this sooner, but Jared insisted that he wear his robe instead of just a plain black jacket and pants."
-
Seth fell on his back as he watched in horror, he got up to his feet an ran a diffrent direction, trying to get away from seth, he knew he was a devilish child, but this... it was something else.
"Wait... why are you running?" chuck called out. He stood up, and stumbled a bit, vomiting blood was never fun, but his victim's essence saw to that. He started to follow Seth, but to Seth, it was more like pursuing, and Chuck was quickly gaining.
Hell the speed itself was unnatural to Chuck, he could never go that fast, yet here he was, time seeming to slow all around him as he blocked Seth's past.
"WHAT's with you boy! Why are you running, nothing is here except me and you, and my gift shouldn't have too much of an effect"
-
"Get away from me!" Seth yelled in terror, the air current around Seth formed into a ball and slammed into chuck, knocking him into the wall. Seth's knees began to buckle, 'you shouldn't being using it to much....' a faded voice said as Seth fell to the floor, and slowly panted, fighting to stay awake.
-
Halfeb had some how managed to get away unnoticed. "Lucky me..." He thought as he watched what happened, only wishing he had helped them. Although, what would he be afraid of, he was, as Emily had called him, indestructable. SO, he decided to grab one of his bikes from the show room, and use stealth to follow these kidnappers back to thier little hide out. It was break out time. He found himself scaling the wall and getting on the roof. All he needed now, was an opening....
((Sorry, my net went down and I just got it back today.))
-
Chuck suddenly felt a red mist descend upon him. All he saw was Seth attacking him with wind, his mind snapped. He rushed over and tackled Seth down and started consciously draining him.
"EVER SINCE I HAVE MET YOU, YOU HAVE TREATED ME LIKE I WAS ANOTHER MONSTER, JUST LIKE ALL THE REST! EXCEPT THIS TIME YOU PUT ON THE FALSE SENSE OF BEFRIENDING ME, ALL TO GET ME ALONE SO YOU CAN TRY AND TAKE A POP AT ME!?
IS THAT IT YOU LITTLE (censored)!? DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU"RE DEALING WITH!? HUH DO YOU!?" he screamed into Seth's face.
-
"My my...you are beautiful" the doctor circled Emily like a vulture, eying its next meal. Emily felt extremely uncomfortable and disgusted. she stood, waiting for the next moment "that suit looks nice on you...tell me Emily, how do you know when your senses enhance?"
no answer, the doctor tsked "come come now Emily, you have a lovely voice and I want to hear it" Emily didn't give in. "you attract other to yourself such as Seth, Raphael, Chuck, you make them feel good and they want to be near you, why is that?" the doctor reached out, lightly touching Emily's raven hair. she jerked away. still not speaking, a man behind Emily, holding a cattle prod, the doctor nodded as the man stuck in in her side, Emily screamed in pain as she crumpled to the floor. the Doctor knelt down next to Emily, who was slightly shaking from the volts " tell me...why is that?" Emily had to think of her friends to not have herself go into a rage. the doctor on the computer pulled up two video screens, one of Raphael being surrounded and the other, Seth and Chuck fighting. Chuck was angry, screaming in a rage, she heard every word. Poor Seth was scared out of his wits.
____________________
Wren shook his head "Jared, next time, just wear the suit, it would of been easier" the wolf rubbed his wrists. looking down at himself, he had lost some weight, but still had his muscular structure. " do we have a plan for escape? because I would like to get home soon" suddenly he witnessed in his mind, several gifted ones tortured at once. groaning he sighed "I forgot, those handcuffs were designed to restrain my power" smiling, her outstretched his hand to the wall " be ready for some action boys, I plan to leave a mark on this place"
-
Halfeb saw an open air duct. "This is really becoming too easy." He said to himself as he lowered himself in. He got around the first corner before there was a laser grid stopping him. Suddenly it short circuted and went off. He shrugged and kept crawlling. He got to a vent and saw Emily, he watched as a scientist was trying to make her do something. He wasn't sure if Emily had spotted him or not. He watched for his opening.
-
"DON'T DO THIS!!!" Emily screamed, "THEY ARE MY FRIENDS AND i AM NOT WILLING TO LOSE THEM!!!" the doctor smiled "then tell me, why is your gift like that?" Emily said nothing again, rage filled into the doctors face as he punched her "TELL ME!" he yelled " your stubbornness is starting to make me sick!"
-
Seth panted, still weak from before, but his anger gave him strength, "You...YOU KILLED THOSE PEOPLE, I COULD NEVER BEFRIEND SOMEONE LIKE YOU" he roared as the ground under him began to shake, the floor began to crack, as roots started to sprout, vines started to quickly rapping around chuck and throwing him into the wall, and holding him there, Seth got up and looked up at chuck, the air around the two of them became dense and heavy. "This isn't like you..." a familiar voice said, Seth had to think about it. "Mother?" He said out loud, "yes.. why.. why have you became so filled with hate...", "But he killed them," Seth said as he went to the floor tears streaming from his face, "but it isn't his fault, do you. Blame a feral tiger for killing a hair to eat?", "no.. I guess not..", "then, free this boy, and make sure you keep this in mined, if he isn't trying to hurt anyone, you can't be mad", "OK..." Seth got up and looked at chuck, the vines slowly went back into the ground, "sorry... I dint mean to be... this way...." the air became lighter, and Seth looked at the ground.
-
Halfeb then remembered his swiss army knife a fan gave him. "Lucky is as lucky dose." He whispered to himself he then threw it as best he could in a tight space, which was far at all, but, far enough to hit a pan that was half off the table, with a scalpul in it, sending it flying into the back of the doctors head, severing his spine from his brain, killing him instantly. Halfeb kicked open the vent and climbed down. He walked over very casually picking up his swiss army knife on the way. "Hey, Emily." He said very casually, "Ready to get out of here?"
-
((well, luckily that guy was taken care of :D ))
"HALFEB!" she hugged her savior tightly. the men in the room were speechless before she attacked, some strange instinctive told her to do something she would never ever do. taking a gun, she killed everyone in the room. dropping the gun, she began to shake "ummm...." not saying anything she went to the computer " we need to find the others" typing the names into the computer, she found the location of each. "okay umm...weapons I suppose?" she had no idea what she was doing.
_________
Wren with a blast, made a huge hole, smiling to himself he walked out with a triumphant smile "lets go"
-
Halfeb watched her kill the guards and was in awe for a moment before taking one of thier guns and another for backup. "Ummm, yeah, the others are here too." He said as he typed in something random and a map of the facility came up. "Damn I love being lucky." He said as he showed her the map.
-
(( Lucky will love you even more lol))
"I bet you do" she actually began to like the cat suit she was wearing, smiling she grabbed tranquilizers instead of the actual guns, but she hesitated, then grabbed a small one as back up. "we should get going, before they sound the alarm" she quickly left the room, walking down th hallway, her extreme silence shocked her even more
-
Kade (red dragon) and Oliver (green dragon), went over to the hole and Oliver pointed his rifle out the door in case any guards came in to check on the noise. "The others should be in the middle of getting us an exit, took us almost five hours to get together with the long-distance travel and all." The priest took up a shotgun that one of the guards had, and took off his top robe to show that he was indeed wearing a black jacket, just felt like wearing the robes.
-
Wren snorted at the priest "Nice" he then stopped, smelled the air "looks like the 'doctor' was just killed" he smiled, this time a little more softly "good girl Emily" he said under his breath, signaling Kade "you lead, I'll be right behind you, Jared and Oliver...you follow" picking up a 44 magnum desert eagle, he stood behind Kade.
-
Halfeb follows her with his gun drawn. "Did you see where the others were?" He asked her as they approch a corner.
((lol, I love her more though :-p))
-
Chuck was seething, the random vines attacking him and now Seth taking pity on poor Chuck. If it were not for the humanity he remembered he had, he would've lunged for the kill in moments, but all he did was stand there, staring dumbly at the piles of dust.
"Where.... Where did these piles of dust come from... I dont think it's part of their experiments"
-
"yes...they should be right there..." she pointed across the hall, she tip toes across, no one. there was no visible door, but there was a red button and a green one. she pressed the green one. the door opened and Chuck and Seth were there, smiling happily she walked in.
-
Chuck glanced at Emily, saw her sudden happiness, but he felt... nothing. He should be elated at seeing her, but his violent outburst at Seth, and his curiosity at the dust piles drew him in. He turned his head back to them and tried to find something to say.
"Hey..." was all he could manage, the blood vomit stains on the floor made the room smell rank, and it was making an awkward meeting all the more awkward.
Looking down, Chuck finally saw that he was in some strange form of military suit, except he now noticed whenever he moved a limb, he heard servos move.
-
Kade nodded, and the other two went out the opening as Kade made a right. Oliver had his right hand hold up the rifle while his left hand was constantly by his ear-hole. "Max just de-activated the remaining security locks from here to the exit, and is on his way there with Alonza." "Dang, they're working fast, wouldn't put it past them to be waiting on us when we get past the mess-hall." Kade went to the door of said mess-hall, and it has already been converted into a choke-point due to the silent alarm Kade set off by shooting a camera.
-
"we need to leave, like now!" she grabbed both chuck and seth by the hand, hpoing to leadinging them to safety.
---------
Wren sighed in annoyance "we better get out quick!"
-
Chuck pulled his arm free and kept staring at the dust piles, suddenly it hit him. He glanced over at his bloody vomit and remembered he was deprived of his food, and then realized with abject terror that the four piles of dust... must have been people.
He screamed, the cry of terror scratching the very essence of those around him, and then he fled. He didn't know where to, but he decided to run away, he didn't want to kill his only friend in such a horrible fashion, so he fled.
Time seemed to slow, and by the time she reacted, he would be gone.
-
"CHUCK, WAIT!!" but he was gone....she was so confused on why he ran away. "Chuck!, Chuck!" she called again and again. was he afraid that he would suck the essance from her, she began to chase after him "wait!" she called again "your not hurting me!"
-
Halfeb chased after them. "We have to get out of here!" He called out. He knew they couldn't go galavanting off after someone who didn't want to be saved. "We don't ahve time for this."
-
"Chuck cant stay here either!" Emily stopped, staring at Halfed, her yes glittered with slight tears. "I am just as scared as everyone else, I also want to go home"
-
"It's not your fault.." seth said, knowing chuck couldn't here him, when emily was distracted by chuck, he decied to make a run for it to, he went a diffrent dirrection, but would soon turn going after him, a leaf was stuck in chucks hair, and seth was following the sound of the leaf, destroying walls that where in his way, with vines that sprouted from the ground, he had no time to think of how, or why he was doing it, but he could only think of how wrong he acted. Whe he thought was close enogh he started yelling for chuck, telling him, it wasn't his fault, he wasn't as fast as him, but he could go through the walls, in a sort of sense.
-
Raphael, dazed from being taken down by so many guards, awoke to pitch black. He was sitting in a chair with his arms and legs bound. The feeling around his eyes told him he had a blindfold on. "Awake at last Raphael. Good." It was the racoon again. "Wheres my book?" "Book book book, thats all you ever talk about. What is it about this book of yours thats so special?" "Emily let me read it to make me feel better. I have to give it back." "My my, quite the gentleman aren't we? Well I'm afraid we never got to do our experiment on you, what with her momentary breakout." He remembered Emily breaking in to free him, only to be stopped shortly after. "Where is she? Where are my friends?!" "We need to find the extent of your gift Raphael." The racoon took up a syringe and tested to make sure it was full. "Prepare for your examination Raphael." Raphaels heart rate skyrocketed. The racoon was starting to sound like a deranged doctor. He struggled at his bindings but nothing came loose. A fleeting thought passed his mind. He could hear the doctor perfectly, but when he was with Emily earlier, everyone talked in slow motion.
-
she needed to find Raphael too, she couldn't leave him behind. Seth ran off to her heart sank, but then came back. "Halfeb, did you find where Raphael was??"
-
max could feel the power building up, building up to the point that he could feel the movements of the guards watching him. he sat perfectly still but his mind was elsewhere, he could see everything in negative view. "threnk vshenta hevne omcen......." (the time has come) his pure black eyes opened as a black ooze dripped out of his mouth. he looked up at the camera smiling demonically "bye bye" the room the guards were in exploded with pure black spikes at the same moment as the dark spikes destroyed the lights and walls around him. he walked out of he room silently, the lights shattering upon his approach as pure darkness enveloped everything around him.
-
Halfeb looked at the map, "Yes, he's down a level and on the far end of the building." He told her, "You round up Seth and Chuck, I'll get Raph and Max. They shouldn't be too far away from one another." He told her as he turned and ran down a staircase, he opened the door and there was a corridor full of guards. "Uh, yeah, g'day." He says before they all draw thier guns and go to fire, all the guns simitaniously back firing and killing the guards. Halfeb walks down the hall. "I do love luck." He presses in random numbers on the keypad that should be the room Raph is in and the door opens. He looks at the doctor and draws his gun and shoots the doctor right in the neck and misses Raph. He smiles, "I'm getting pritty good at this." He said to himself before walking over and untying Raph, "How you doin' Raph?" He asked causually but, really guaging how well he was.
-
"Whos that? What happened? How do you know my name?" Raphael's voice begun to crack with fear. He hasn't known Halfeb long enough to recognize his voice yet. The blindfold did nothing to help his situation. He began to snarl and hiss as he did the first time. His thoughts raced, who was this voice? Was it friendly? What did he do to deserve such torture?
-
Emily nodded. following Chuck while looking around for Seth and the guards. man this place is packed she thought to herself. she couldn't believe that as she was running, she was quite, not a sound. she passed a couple who saw them but she shit them with the tranquilizers. she didn't want more blood on her hands. with her gun, she shot cameras.
-
He took off Raphs blindfold. "Raph, easy mate, it me." He said as he looked him in the eys and continued to undo his bindings, "This is a rescue man." He said as he finished untying him, "How do you feel? Is your head okay? Can you walk?" He asked, half looking at the map to see where Max was.
-
"Chuck?!" she called, hoping that he will respond. her senses suddenly flared. from behind two men attacked with the butt of the gun, Emily dodged in time, yelped in surprised as she began to run for her life.
-
The instant the blindfold was taken off, everything slowed down. He recognized Halfeb instantly, and calmed down. He could barely understand him in slow motion but figured he was asking about his health. He gave a thumbs up and got out of his chair. He rummaged through the racoon's clothes, looking for the journal. Not finding it, he began to get angry again, until he looked on the medical tray and found it laying there. He sighed relief as he picked it up. He then hoisted Halfeb onto his shoulder fireman style and tapped the map he was holding. Talking wouldn't be useful and Raphael is much faster than him anyway.
-
Walter's eyes slowly opened to the sound of a light banging against metal. He sat up and held his head which throbbed with pain. He felt like something was constricting his body, then he noticed it was the suit that was probably 4 sizes too small for him. He wasn't used to skin tight clothes, let alone one's that made him feel almost naked. He got up from the steel bench he'd been lying on and stood up. He was in what looked almost like a jail cell. A tiny room with one door and a room mate. But this roomate happened to be dead, as usual. Walter was almost startled by the ghosts appearance. It was a wolf who was missing patches of fur and lacked both eyes. It looked like they'd been torn right out of their sockets as blood slowly dripped from the empty sockets. "Wh-Where? Where am I?" Walter asked the figure that lounged on the bench across from him. The ghost turned it's head to look at him before it answered in a raspy voice. "...Hell."
-
Halfeb looked at Raph as they were traveling unnaturally fast. Halfeb taps Raph on the shoulder. "Don't make for the exit yet, Max is near by and we gotta grab him before we get out." He tells him, getting down from Raphs shoulder. "Look man, I don't know what they did to you, but, your speed's gonna come in handy. We gotta get to Max, come on!" He saidd, running down a corridor to where the map said Max was held.
-
the lights shattered all the way down the hall, the guards screamed in pain and fright as max slowly walked down the hallway watching them die as blades sprouted from their shadows. he rounded a corner and put his arm out. he grabbed halfeb by the through as he and raph ran past. he slammed him into the wall and silently stared through his eyes, his own eyes now with pure black pupils with red barb wire like lines separating the black from the dark yellow. he gave him a demented smile "venshita dnotek feshneta. please don't follow." he said in a demented hollow echoing voice before dropping him and disappearing down the hall.
-
Halfeb watched Max pass and then looked down the hall at the dead guards. He then looked across at Raph. "Look, I don't know what the hell happened to you guys here. I mean, I didn't think I was that far behind you. But, whatever they did, it sent half of you insane. So far, Chuck ran off screamins and crying, Seth started ripping through walls to try and apologise for something. You don't speak but run faster then my grandma drives, Max is some demon figure from the underworld and Emily is some super killing machine. What the hell did I miss!?!" He yells, on a little bit of a freak out moment.
-
"now tell me what i want to know." max said to one of the men that had captured the group. "never!! I'll never tell you!!" "do you know what happens when i say your shadows name then say sevnekre? how about i show you." he slammed his hand onto the arm of the mans shadow, the man moved his arm but the shadow staid still, held in place by max. "comneshtene entechno flesk onthare, sevnekre......" (comtempt evil of another, sever......) he drew a line across the arm with his claw. the man screamed in agony as blood stained the elbow of his jacket, the mans forearm flopped uselessly only being held on by his shirt. "now about my question?".........
-
running as fast as she could, with the guards on her heels. she was feeling normal again. her head began to throb and so did her wrist, from what she could tell, her body wasn't use to a gun. Emily had lost them but she began to realize that she was also lost. Some luck I have... she began running again
-
Raph looked at Halfeb. He could tell he was freaking out at all the events unfolding in front of him. He knew he wouldn't understand him if he spoke, but remembered that when he was wearing the blindfold, he heard people talk normally. He put his hand over his eyes, and spoke, "Halfeb, I don't know what is going on nor do I know how I got these powers, but I dont wanna stay here any more. We need to find the others and get out. Do you know where they are?"
-
Zanya may not have known it yet but Alex was using her body as a way to get to Walter. He'd possessed her so to speak and would destroy her at will if she didn't find who he was looking for. Slowly but surely, Alex Harvey was seeping the will to live out of Zanya. She would become a shell until she killed herself while Alex slowly destroyed every thought in her mind. She could, However, save herself if she took him to Walter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walter sat in the tiny cell. He looked up at the camera above his head that monitored his every move. The odd feeling came over him. The ghost tilted it's head and looked around the cell. Walter looked up at ghost that sat across from him and narrowed his eyes. "What the hell is up with you?" He asked. The ghosts head quickly snapped in the direction of Walter's voice. "...Interesting..." Walter narrowed his eyes. "What?" He asked. The ghost smiled a horrifying grin. "...We're...not so different you and I." Walter looked at the mirror over the tiny sink in the cell and his eyes bulged, terrified at what he saw or rather, what he didn't see. Walter had become a ghost. He could become one at will and do things that any ghost could...including scaring little kids. By now, the guards watching the camera would see that something was wrong. Walter did not appear to be in his cell.
-
A wolfen scientist clad in white lab uniform and coat smiled with cruel malice sparkling in his eyes. He turned to the scientist beside him, a young vixen of dark hair and eyes, and the smile widened "The subject is not taking to our stimulant drugs. This is most interesting..." The other scientist frowned and tapped her clipboard "How is this interesting? The boss isnt going to be happy..."
Grin widening even further, until he resembled a living scarecrow, the wolf turned back to the glass window of a cell in which Kitt lay unconscious in one corner. Blood trailed from the steel door of the cell, all the way to where he lay now. And the scientist still smiled "Oh no... For this, the Boss is going to be very happy..." He turned back to the vixen "This thing, is something different altogether..."
-
Oliver was taking quick glances out the window of the door, then heard something on his ear-piece and made a motion towards Kade to get away from the door. The crimson dragon grabbed Wren and fell to the floor and the 'priest' was yanked aside as Oliver yelled "Now!!". The windows on the door shattered and what sounded like the buisness end of a machine gun roared through the hall until dying out a minute later. Oliver got up and opened the door to see a blue dragon with a very wild look in his eyes, and a minigun in his hands. He was wearing a bandolier, a black wife-beater, and some of the ratty-est looking pair of loose blue-jeans you would probably ever see. "Oh (censored) yea, this one is definatly a keeper... Come on, Max is waiting at the truck. Oh, Wren, tell that girl of yours that she better head to the mess-hall if she wants to get out alive."
-
Wren growled "she is not my girl!" he got up and walked past the blue dragon "yet...where is she?"
Emily was still looking when she heard the sound of a gun rapid fire, she duck down low, glass and bits of wall showered down on her. she trembled there for a minute before she stood up. she looked into the window she saw a group of dragons and a wolf.
-
The blue dragon tilted his head, then turned and pointed to the girl who was looking through the window. "Max and Oliver both said she was the only female 'gifted' registered here, so that should be her right there."
-
what... she glanced at them, panic rising in her chest, she bolted, she had to get away...
Wren outstretched his hand, some invisible force stopped her like a wall as she fell over, paralyzed, Wren approached her kneeling down next to her picking her up, she began to scream for her friends before he put her to sleep with the same sleeping drug. she fell silent in a matter of minutes "lets go" Wren ordered
-
"Next level up." He told Raph and started to run up the stairs. He then saw Wren dragging off Emily. He stod by and did nothing once before, but not again. He also had a speeder at his side. "Hey!" He yelled to Wren, "Where do you think you're going with my friend!?"
-
Wren didn't answer as he carried Emily bridal style, standing next to the blue dragon "hey...are those the others??" he asked
Zanya felt powerless, she felt as though her body and mind was slowly destroying itself, she tried to resisit, but her body was slowly starting to surrender. twitching on the floor, she tried to reach for her gun.....
-
Watching them carry Emily away, he began to feel angry again. It seems like someones always trying to ruin his happy mood. He shoved the journal into Halfeb's hands as he sprinted towards the group, closing the gap in half a second. Letting out a mighty roar, he punched the blue dragon in the gut, as his minigun would be the biggest threat to them both.
-
Wren didnt move as he set down Emily. he barely even moved as he froze the lynx with his mind "I think that is quite enough of you..."
Emily was beginning to feel...emotions, anger, fear, determination, annoyance, love...wait, love?? can't be right... but she honestly felt it...but these feelings were not hers
-
Raphael was frozen in his punch. He wasn't paralyzed, but couldn't move his body. He heard the wolf crystal clear, making him even more uncomfortable. What kind of being was he that could do this? His rage grew further. He couldn't let out any of his anger, so it just kept building inside him. A part of him was scared of how angry he was getting. Would he do the unthinkable? Would he get that mad that he'd forgoe his beliefs?
-
Due to Emily's immunity, the sleeping drug wore off quick, she sat up then stood up, seeing her friend frozen in mid form. instead of freaking out, she felt the rage oozing off of Raphael. walking past the wolf she hugged him , hoping that it will calm him down, but thats when the alarm went off a female robotic voice saying " Intruder Alert!" over and over again...
-
Emily's hug did little to sooth Raph's furious rage. Being completly immoble just kept making him madder. He feared he would soon black out from his rage, and in a situation like this, that was not a good idea. What little clear thoughts he had left turned to the wolf. "If he can do this and speak clearly to me, maybe he can do more. I'll do more to him if he doesn't let me go right now! No, no I can't think like that. Please. Please help me. Or I will kill you! I'll rip every part of your body apart!" Raphael hoped the wolf understood that he didn't want to hurt him, that he just wanted to help his friend. He didn't know if he could read minds, but really hoped he could.
-
Halfeb looked around. He didn't know what to do. If it would save his life, the guys powers would work on him. He pulled out his swiss army knife. He had no idea what to do. He pulled out all the knives and threw it up in the air, closing his eyes. The army knife went up into the light and burst it, making a blinding light fill the corridor and short ciruct the entire facility as well as blinding wren and possibly the others. The army knife fell back into his hands. "Thats all I needed." Halfeb said to himself before running over, grabbed Emily and Raph and pushed over the blinded Wren before making for the exit.
-
Wren was enraged, he had that one chance to be with Emily. knowing that the dragons would hold him back, he called after her "EMILY!" it was an agonized cry. his one one chance...to feel love again...
Emily could hear her name, but she kept running looking out for everyone. "SETH! CHUCK!!" she had to find them, she could not leave them behind! she even called Max Shadows name "FIND MY VOICE PLEASE!!!"
-
Raphael was free to move again. His anger fueled his running spirit as he picked up Halfeb and ran with Emily to find Seth and Chuck. The rage was dissipating now that he could move. They ran down the hallways looking for their friends. Raph remembered the journal he shoved into Halfeb's hands. As slow as he could, he asked Halfeb if he still had it. "Do you have my book?"
-
a voice crept into his head more like a ghost than an echo, a voice he had never heard calling him. he threw the guard he had been 'playing' with through a nearby wall and began to run through the now dark halls, gathering momentum as he went he soon started to more skate then run. he found the source of the voice but had other things to do first. he slid, grabbing all three of the others on his dark shoulders still skating through the pitch black corridors towards the others he had located. "hold on....." was all he said with his hollow voice and his large demented smile.
-
Chuck bolted into a medical wing, the scientists there at first looked up in surprise, then started screaming as their skin was being boiled alive as they were being consumed. This fact only reinforced Chuck's terror as he kept going further and further.
"This... This is what I am" he cried, he screamed again, the voice carrying his gift with it, for all who heard it found a sense of dread.
-
A wind voretx surrounded chuck, the dust particles started to show Seth's body. Vines wrapped around him, not tight, but enough where he couldn't break free. Seth was about two rooms away, near Emily, he was in a trance trying to talk to Chuck seeing how he couldn't get close to him. "Its not your fault" Seth said in a hollowed voice, it wasn't the easiest trying to talk through the air. A particle hand was placed on chucks shoulder and patted him.
-
When Raph spoke, he heard it as if the whole sentence was run into a single word. Being from australia, this was nothing he hadn't encounted before, and even he too spoke that way from time to time. He pulled out the book and offered it to Raph. "Kept it secret. Kept it safe." He told him with a trusting smile.
-
The vixen scientist frowned, glancing up at the wolf from her clipboard "There has been a breach in security. Apparently several of the test subjects have escaped." The wolf laughed with sharp derision, tapping away at the keyboard of his computer "It does not matter. None of them matter, this subject is all we need..." He jumped up from the computer and started to scribble on a whiteboard with frenzied speed "... Tell the guards to seal off this section, If we hurry, this veritable goldmine is ours!"
-
It was complete chaos outside. Walter could hear it all happen through the steel door that he was pretty sure he could melt through if he tried. He needed to find Kitt. The ghost he shared the cell with looked at Walter with a curious gaze. "They'll kill you if you don't leave." The wolf said. "Get out!" The wolf yelled before he disappeared into smoke. Walter, unsure of how his ghost powers worked, threw himself at the door. He failed horribily, almost knocking himself out against it's panelling. He lay on the floor in pain. "KITT!!!!" He yelled out in pain, frustration, and desparation.

Oliver felt his ear-piece again, looking out in the direction the actual exit was supposed to be. "We've run into some complications. Cid, get back to Max and hold off the exterior reinforcements. Jared, you're going with Wren so he can get his girlfriend back. Kade, you get a rifle and keep any of the men in the barracks from re-taking the mess-hall." Cid managed to stand upright again, and sprinted over to the van that was parked outside. Kade picked up a rifle and got behind one of the barricades that had already been set up. Jared ran over to the door that 'Emily' had been at, and scanned the halls before motioning Wren to follow.
-
In his cell, Kitt twitched an ear. Both scientists turned to the one-way glass with wide eyes. The wolf shrugged, pausing momentarily from his frenzied writing "Give him another shot of sleeper..." The vixen turned to a control panel and flicked a switch. After a moment she frowned "It doesnt appear to be having any effect." The wolf growled, snapping "Do it again!" She did, and still nothing...
The wolf's frown turned to a wild smile as he turned back to his whiteboard of calculations "Ha! His body is fighting it... Oh, this just makes even more sense!"
Suddenly there was a thump at the cell window. Kitt stood at the glass, one bloodied hand pressed against it. Both scientists jumped and backed away. He cocked his head to one side, looking from the Wolf to the whiteboard and its diagrams. He sighed, deep and controlled as he thumped the glass again, blood trickling down its smooth surface "You don't know what your meddling with here... But I know... They're coming. Soon you will all die, it will be ruthless, efficient. And then they will take me..."
------
Outside the bunker complex several Mi-8 transport helicopters landed on the concrete, coming to a halt amongst parked cars and chain-linked fences. Doors rolled open and combat boots hit the floor with a rumble. Both guards who stood outside where dropped with quick squeezes of triggers, silenced bullets blowing blood across the bunker entrance behind them with muffled thuds.
One of the twenty or so black-armoured figures paused and pointed to the bunker doorway "удар двери!" Men moved in compliance, explosive satchels placed and ready to blow as several other guards rounded the corner to be dropped instantly by several more shots...
-
Being picked up by this shadow being was not expected by Raph. It looked like something out of a nightmare as it skated across the floor. It moved faster than he could, and was even able to hold him, Halfeb, and Emily at once. It looked vaugley familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Then it hit him, Max. Max said something about shadows the last time they met, could this really be him? Speaking slowly again, he asked the shadow "Max? Is your name Max?"
-
Wren ran ahead of Jared, he had to get her back. "well, the reinforcements that are here are internationally" he turned to Jared "Am I insane?" he asked, it was indirect to his romantic feelings for Emily. he never felt this way about the opposite sex...ever since she betrayed him.
Emily stared down at the shadowy figure. Max... out of the corner of her eye, she saw a black figure, a gun shot and pain in her shoulder that spread rapidly to her arm she didn't have time to scream in pain. gritting her teeth in pain . she looked down at her shoulder, she saw blood and she knew. luckily the black cat suit hid the blood. not good not good! she thought to herself as she became feverish and dizzy with pain. she saw natural light as s door was opened, sunshine!
"LOOK!!" she knew she wasn't hallucinating. she tried to point but could barely raise her arm without feeling immense pain.
-
Halfeb saw it too. The outside. He knew the running wouldn't stop once they got out, but, he knew it was a chance to break. He still had no idea of who or what the shadow was, but, he knew it wouldn't hurt him. Not because he trusted the shadow, but, more because of his gift. "Lets get out of here! We'll come back for the others later!" He yelled to the shadow.
-
Emily's heart lurched in pain, she didnt want to leave them behind, in her mind she tried to send a mental message even though she thought it wouldn't work.
Seth, Chuck, anyone with a gift, follow my voice, we have found the outside, be strong, FIGHT!! FIGHT FOR FREEDOM! opening her eyes, her felt dizzy as she rested her head on Halfeb's shoulder, panting " Hurry...the pain" she moaned, still awake
-
Raphael was getting impatient, not to mention angry again. First they kidnap him, put him in a room alone, nearly made him deaf, tried to inject him with some drug, and now Emily was shot. It was too much to handle. He jumped off the shadow and ran as fast as he could towards the one who shot Emily. All sense of morals abandoned him. He wanted blood. He dodged the bullets with ease as he closed the gap. His rage was so great that he could not make out if the assailent was male or female, nor did he care. He threw a punch with all his might at its chest, shattering its ribcage. Before it could hit the floor, Raph grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher and swung it at it's head. The body collapsing to the floor, he roared in victory. He ran back to catch up with the shadow, Halfeb and Emily. In the back of his mind, he was horrified at what he had just done. He did the unthinkable, the unforgivable.
-
As they burst from the door of the door of the facility, and alarms were going off all over, Halfeb picked up Emily and ran for his car, which was sitting around the corner. He looked at the other two. "You guys can run or come with, but, I know where to take her to get this out of her, no questions asked." He told them as he put her in the passangers seat. "If you're coming with, we have to keep as low a profile as possible, so get in a take a seat." He said as he seat belted her in and got in the drivers seat.
-
Raphael didn't have to hear Halfeb to understand what his plan was. He knew he couldn't run faster than a car so he hopped in the back seat, strapped himself in, and immediatly begun deep breathing exercises. This was not the place to lose his temper, and hopefully since he already lost it just earlier, he could regain his composure easily, he hoped.
-
max just stood there in the doorway. "I'll catch up. and raph, keep them safe. her wound isn't fatal." he turned round and sent a pulse of darkness throughout the facility. "reknsh und sente, gidshne." (rocks and stone, slide.) he started running then started to skate along radiating dark energy.
-
A wind voretx surrounded chuck, the dust particles started to show Seth's body. Vines wrapped around him, not tight, but enough where he couldn't break free. Seth was about two rooms away, near Emily, he was in a trance trying to talk to Chuck seeing how he couldn't get close to him. "Its not your fault" Seth said in a hollowed voice, it wasn't the easiest trying to talk through the air. A particle hand was placed on chucks shoulder and patted him.
Chuck's gift rapidly decomposed the vines and he slipped out onto the floor in sobs.
"What... what am I?" he asked pathetically. Just then some Russian troops came in and dragged him off, their armor protecting them from the deadly effects of his gift, although they still felt a burning sensation.
-
max skated past Seth grabbing him on the way towards the other cells he had located. he threw Seth onto his back as he ran, holding Seth's arms over his shoulders, in one fluint movement, so he couldn't slide off while they sped down the halls.
-
Halfeb got in, and strapped himself in. "Alright, sit down and strap in." He told them before hitting the gas. The wheels spun for a second before the car took off fast, getting them as far away as soon as possible. "My place, should still be safe, at least for a little while. We'll go there, I got a doc who can look at Emily, and we'll get some stuff and go." He told them as he navigated through the streets.
-
Seth stood there life less 'is this my fault?...'
-
her shoulder became numb as she strapped herself in, she weakly rested against the leather seat, closing her eyes breathing slowly. "good thing" she whispered to herself, Emily smiled, happy that she was getting away.
I'll come for you guys she vowed to herself I will come and save you...
-
Raphael had calmed himself down now and looked at Emily. She didn't look so good, health wise. He didn't know where he was going with them, but thought anywhere other than that place would be better. Halfeb seemed to be able to understand Raph's fast talking a bit, so he asked him, "Where are we going?" sounding out each word slowly and phonetically.
-
"Its not my place to decide whom your lust or love is upon, but I don't think she'll be willing to leave her associates for some wolf that speaks words and emotions into her mind." They both were able to follow the same path that Emily was taken by following the dots of blood, and were able to get out another door just in time to see her strapped into a car. "See Wren, this is a perfect example of: "She is just not that into you"."
-
Wren roared with anger, he wanted to charge but the sight of Russian troops stopped him, he growled before he took Jared's walkie talkie "bring the car around now, were have company and I think we are not gonna leave unscathed..." he clicked out, still fuming "for now. I will let Emily leave"
Emily felt tired, very tired "you guys...we wont get out so easily" she said weakly, she pointed towards a line of black cars coming in their direction. though, she had no idea who they were...
-
Jared pulled out his ear-piece from his right pocket, and turned it on before putting it in. "Oliver, Kade, get in the van. Max, follow the signature on my communicator to our location. Cid, get a new belt of ammo, you're going to need it."
-
Halfeb looked at the line up of cars. He stopped dead and looked at them. "I hope no one has a weak constitution." He said as he suddenly flung it into reverse and headed for the construction site nearby. "Keep down!" He yelled as bullets flew into the car. He broke the barrier of the construction site as the black cars chased after him. He then came to a stop as he saw black cars infront and behind him. He smiled. "Here's a little trick some country boys taught me. Its called, painting the fence." He told them as he hit the breaks and the gas and the wheels spun like a burn out, making rocks and gravel fling up onto the bacl cars, going through thier windshields like a hot knife through butter. Kicking up dirt and dust as he span the car around, hitting them all and showering them with gravel, at the same time, making a nice dirt cloud to surround them. He suddenly stopped and took his foot off the break, making the car shoot forward into the construction building and into and elevator, which leaned out and pressed the roof. The doors closed before the dirt settled. He turned off the car so they wouldn't all die from carbon minoxide poisoning. "Now, Raph, I believe you asked where we are going. There's a doc and stuff at my place we can grab. No more then 10 minutes. After that, I know a commune where we can lay low for a while. Most of the people who live there are gifted in one way or another." He reached for his glove box and pulled out a white t-shirt which he bundled up and gave to Emily. "Keep pressure on that. And whatever you do, don't got to sleep." He told her.
The doors opened, to many supprised contruction workers. The car roared. There was a parking lot across the street. He revved the engine. "Hold into your hats." He said as he flawed it sending the car speeding across the roof, off of it and it flew and dropped about 3 stories before crashing into the parking lot next door. He spent no time to stop and make sure the car was alright and raced out of the parking lot, he looked in his mirror, the black cars, very badly damaged by the stones, were still in hot pursuit.
-
Raph was distraught. He wanted to help but couldn't think of anything. Then it hit him, literally. The impact from landing 3 stories knocked the t-shirt out of Emily's hands, as she was still weak from the gunshot. Grabbing the shirt in midair, he pushed it back into Emily's shoulder. She had done so much for him, now it was his turn to help her.
-
weakly Emily put on the pressure, sleep was sooo tempting but the whole car chase was keeping her awake. something was digging into her back. she slightly leaned forward and touched it, it was hard, small and rectangular. with little strenth she fumbled until she got it out. a little black...square with a red light blinking. she immediately threw it out. "I had a tracker in my suit" she mumbled, she turned to Raph "check to see if you have one" the shirt flew from her hands as the soared from the third story. Raph caught it and held it over her wound for her "thanks..."
Wren hated the fact that they were encircled by both of his enemies, this quagmire was not going to be tolerated, with a blue ray of light from the pal of his hand he shot helicopter #1 from the sky. his eyes went from gold to a sapphire blue, the inside of his mouth glowed sky blue "This is gonna get bumpy"
-
max looked over his shoulder at Seth, "it is not your fault. I'm taking you to the others, you shall set them free." he said turning back to looking where he was going while still skating through the dark, empty hallways.
-
Raphael felt around his back with his free hand and found it. He couldn't quite get a hold of it, so as fast as he could, he left the t-shirt with emily, and tore off his suit. It proved to be harder than he thought, so with claws drawn and gritted teeth, he ripped across his chest as hard as he could, shredding the suit nicely in the process. Growling in pain, he ripped the remainder of his suit and tossed it out the window. Putting his hand back on the t-shirt, he thought to himself "Maybe I should have looked for a zipper or something."
-
"yeah..." Emily said weakly, she was falling asleep...slowly she tried hard to stay awake "I think I have a broken shoulder...or something" she whispered.
-
He looked back at Raph, "Umm, put down a towel of something before putting your bare butt on my seat." He said before looking at Emily starting to fall sleep. "Oh no," He said gently tapping her face to keep her awake, "Stay with us, stay with us Em. Sleep is bad, sleep is very bad." He said to her sounding alarmed.
-
Emily rolled her eyes "Its just my shoulder, if it were mt side or chest then yeah, that would be bad" still weak but with slight determination. she chuckled to heself, finding it funny that Raph pratically ripped his clothes off while Emily just had a small hole
-
Raphael noticed the look on Halfeb's face. He probably didn't want him to sit naked in his car. Luckily, he found a towel in the back seat and brought it up to sit on. He also noticed that Emily was smiling as well. He thought she was getting delirious from the pain. Slowly, he said "much further? She not last long."
-
Chuck winced as a scientist in a protective suit of armor slid a needle into his arm. It was hurting a lot more then he let on, but ever since he agreed to be experimented on by these Russians, he had no idea what was in store.
The commander of the raid gave Chuck a choice. Join us or die. Feeling like there was some good he could salvage from this, he agreed. And in the APC sent to pick him up, he's been poked and prodded by this scientist for about an hour.
"This chemical that we're injecting into you should cause immense pain, but bear through it and the reward shall be great" the doctor said simply.
Now it was all a matter of waiting for the pain.
-
Wren and Jared entered the van as it pulled up, while Cid was in full-body armor and spraying the seemingly limitless supply of ammo in a wide arc. The tactic seemed to work as the returning fire lessened quite a bit, but was not enough for safe use of Wren's powers without some form of shield protecting him. "Max, stop with the crazy driving, I can barely get a clean shot on this gun!" The thin, goggle-wearing bronze dragon at the wheel growled over the comm shortly after Cid complained. "First of all, a spray of lead is hardly considered a 'clean shot'. Second, I'm driving a moderatly armored civilian van through a mob of Russian Soldiers!! Be thankful you havn't been flung off by inertia alone!"
-
Wren was feeling rather annoyed, since everything didn't go ACCORDING to plan, he'll have to think up of one later. "Which one of you is the computer geek? I want someone to rob their files, and get all the gifted files, including Emily and her friends, I wanna see why there are so god damn special!" he pulled Cid down, taking the gun, he aimed a perfect shot at the helicopter that followed them, the chopper exploding in min air.
Anastasia from the window watched the chaos, sighing she looked back at Kitt and the doctor. "finish with him.." her voice was a low, sultry, smooth like honey " I have a special meeting I need to attend" removing her lab coat to reveal a finely tailored business suit, both blazer and jacket fit the vixen fox perfectly, her cascade of golden locks framed her angle like face, batting her baby blue eyes at Kitt before leaving. walking out in heels she pulled out her cell phone.
Reginald was becoming impatient and angry, Zanya was not responding, neither were his men, he roared angrily and slammed his fist "I do not care if they come out, just get out of here" he told the driver, he nodded and left he comrades behind in a fit of anger...
Emily felt nausea, the pressure on the wound was helping to stop the bleeding but she had lost enough as it is. she was going to need alot of food, water and rest when she got it...damn. the shirt was no bloody and unusable anymore. quietly she moaned "sorry about your shirt" she smiled weakly, but a gleam of amusement shined in her eyes
-
Kade tried to hold back his laughter as Cid snatched his minigun back and went back to his duty as 'turret' while Oliver got Wren's attention. "Our 'computer geek' is too busy driving the van to answer your question. The only reason we're even here is because the original wanted us to rescue you, and maybe that girl if it was within our time-window. Don't anger him by trying to do our jobs when you're the VIP of this entire operation."
-
He smiled, "Thats okay." He said looking at the shirt. "Some cola will get that out." He said with the same gleam in his eye. He turned down and ally as a garage door shot up, he drove in and it slammed behind him. "Alright, we're here." He said as he ran out and ran around and picked up Emily. He ran her inside a very nice loft appartment, where his manager was standing.
"Where the hell have you been!?" The manager yelled at him.
"Don't start Nate," Halfeb said, "Just get doc to look at her. We'll have to cancel tonights jump. We need to get out of here."
"You gotta be freaking kidding me." Nate replied.
"Get her healed and on the bus, we're going to the commune."
"You mean that redneck paradise!?" Nate replied, very distraught.
"Did I say it was a request?" Halfeb replied. Nate shook his head and walked off, very unpleased. Halfeb carried Emily through to a doctors room, where an elderly man was sitting reading a magazine. He put her down on the bed and the doc looked her over before starting to work on taking out the bullet.
-
Raph tapped Halfeb on the shoulder. He gestured to his private area, "Pants?" Everyones speech was speeding up now that he had time to get used to his new reflexes. They still sounded like they were talking very slow, but at least he could understand them now.
-
He looked at what Raph was pointed to before looking away suddenly, "Oh geez man, umm, bedroom. Find something in my wardrobe, should have some stuff that will fit you." He said doing his best to look away. "Any underpants you get, keep them."
-
"Luckily it was only my shoulder" she smiled softly. she took Halfeb's hand and smiled "thanks... allot, we owe it to you..." she turned to thew doctor "when can I sleep, eat?? you know, rejuvenate new blood?"
Wren snorted "fine, later!" he hated it when they called him VIP, among with other nicknames they came up for him. "Right now, getting home is my main priority"
-
Raph went into Halfeb's room and rummaged through his drawers to find some pants and undies. He found a nice pair of jeans that fit him quite nicely. Looking at the mirror, he flexed a little. Whatever they put into him, it made him look good with a nice 6-pack abs. He walked back out to see how Emily was doing. She seemed to be fine, so he decided to some crane streches while Emily was being tended to.
-
"So now what" Seth said, thoughts running threw his mind
-
there are still others trapped within the facility, you can save them. i shall help as long as i can but my time in controle of this body is ending, soon he shall regain controle and be unable to help as i can." said max not looking back over at Seth while turning a corner.
-
"Who all is left"
-
The doctor glanced from Anastasia, to Kitt, and then back to his employer as she walked away. He tore at his thin hair and rounded on his assistant "We cannot kill this one off... We cannot!" The assistant backed away slightly, eyes wide "Why ever not? You heard the boss, she wants him finished..."
The doctor shook his head again, hands wringing, pulling at his own skin, eyes darting at Kitt in his cell "Dont you see?" He pointed with shaking hands at the whiteboard of calculations and graphs "Dont you see what this means!?" His fist slammed into the whiteboard, making his assistant jump "He was not born with his ability! Unlike the others, this ability that he has is not natural!"
Head shaking, the assistant backed away to the far end of the lab "What does that mean Alister? What do you mean?" The doctor roared, either in pain or anguish "You still dont understand!? His abilities, his power was implanted in him. From a young age I assume... And as I can also assume, for military purposes!" He was jabbering now, talking fast, eyes always checking for Anastasia coming back "Those men, those Russians... They're after him... They need him. Why!?"
-----
-[Sokol1 HIND-helicopter Gunship - New York ] -
"This is Sokol1, we have lost ze targets, I repeat, we have lost ze targets..." The pilot, a sharp eyed hawk with a thick drawling accent pulled sharply on the controls, bringing the gunship in a lazy arc back towards the edge of the city.
Back at the bunker complex Russian troops continued to storm through the levels. Scientists where shot dead where they stood, pleas and cries of help falling on tinted visors. The men moved swiftly, executing a plan so perfect nothing could go wrong. And yet it had... The others had escaped, the First Child was still not found, locked somewhere in the compound, and time was running out... If they did not find him soon... the Second Child would not tolerate another failure...
-[Military Bunker Compound - Outside New York ]-
Outside the bunker the three HIP-8 helicopters still sat on the tarmac, now silent and still. Each was surrounded by five guards, the rest inside the bunker, searching. A figure stepped down from the third helicopter , boots crunching on the tarmac.
A vixen with bright amber eyes stared calculatingly up at the sun and then back down at the bunker entrance, now blown open and burnt. She wore a military jacket, pristine and displaying a proud cadet badge. She sighed and turned to the nearest guard "This is taking too long... My brother must be found..."
-
"from what i can tell the only ones left are kitt, Walter. but there may be more....." pain shot through Max's entire body in a second, his eyes wide, mouth open with trace amounts of blood flying out. "your on your own, spinchente flesk hintente......" he let Seth slip of his back carefully just before the shadows around him vanished causing him to fall chin first onto the metallic floor while his deluded eyes melted back to normal, bouncing along close to the ground before hitting the corner of a wall ribs first still at almost full speed.
-
" just stay hear and rest, ill go get them, I hope this will work" , he said manily to himself at the end, he kneeled down, placeing his palms on the ground. A small twig came out, he puled it out, cutting him self a little, letting a small bit of blood go on it. He placed the twig next to max, "If you need any help, just throw that in front of you, and don't move, ill go look for the others."
-
The doctor finally got the bullet out some fresh bandages. it didn't hurt so bad after some pain killer medicine, she thanked the doctor over and over again. after some food she fell asleep into what would be a long, nice, deep nap.
-
Raphael went and grabbed his journal from the car to make sure it was safe, then drifted off to sleep as well. He awoke to the sound of screams. As he looked around he noticed the house was torn apart. Furniture broken, windows smashed, debris everywhere. He went to find his friends, but what he found was not expected. Emily, Halfeb, the doctor, and Halfeb's manager were lying on the floor, blood soaked onto the carpet from their wounds. He went to Halfeb, picking up his head, hands shaking as he did. "Noo, no, no" is all he could manage to whisper as tears streamed down his eyes. Halfeb looked at Raph and said, "Why?" His body went limp as his eyes rolled over. Raph was confused, why what? He looked at Halfeb's body and saw that his wounds were made by claws. Putting his hand on it, he found that it matched perfectly to his. He couldn't breath. The terror of his realization of what he'd done had overwhelemed him. The others had the same marks on them. It was at this point that the house burst into flames. Raph looked at the flames with terror in his heart. He was paralyzed with fear. A demonic roar came from the doorway of the room as a shadowy figure stepped in. 8ft tall, it towered over him. It grabbed Raph by the neck and strangeled him as it whispered in his ear, "I own you." Raph awoke again to screams, only this time, it was him who was screaming. The house was the same as when he dozed off, and was not on fire. He got up and found Emily still sleeping. It was only a nightmare. What did it mean?
-
max looked at the twig half conscious, "sorry seth, but i don't think I'm getting out of here with you........" he said as soldiers walked up two of the three corridors after Seth had left, they aimed their guns at him and spoke harsh Russian to each other. "i assume this will hurt." he said after coughing up blood. he grinned, showing his blood covered teeth seconds before a solid boot hit the side of his head knocking him out.
-
As the twig feel from Max's hands, and hit the floor, it began to shake, "What ze hell" the front Russian said, the twig erupted into a fury of spikes. Piercing the soldiers throughout there body, and forming a wall around Max, some vines started to wrap around him, "well aren't you an odd one" a feminine voice said, energy pulsed through the vines, into Max giving him a feel goof feeling.
Seth was running down a hall not knowing where to go he ran into a room filled with scientists, "dam" he said, not wanting confrataion.
-
Emily barely even dreamed, her sleeping was so deep and comfortable. but she was startled awake by the sound of falling pans. she shot up, her heart racing and panting, she only saw Halfeb's friend in the ridiculously large kitchen, he looked up, seeing Emily he gave her a flirtatious smirk and shrugged and went back to what he was doing. Emily fell back down, not feeling sick, but tired, but not sleepy. her muscles were extremely sore. "Lovely...just lovely..." she mumbled sarcastically. she caught sight of Raph, smiling gently at him, she then slowly propped herself on her good shoulder "hey...what time is it?"
-
Raph looked at the wall clock, "Looks like its 7 in the morning." He yawned as he streched his arms over his head. Everyone was speeding up some more. Their voice was still distorted but it was no longer such a chore to try and talk to people. "Oh, I finished the journal you gave me. Thanks for letting me read it." He got up and handed the journal back to Emily. "Thanks for being my friend Emily." He smiled at her as he remembered his nightmare. If it took all that he had, he would never let it come true.
-
The second soldier dragged himself back to his feet, growling in pain. He pulled off his helmet, revealing a Siberian wolf, teeth sharp and and eyes cold blue. With shaking hands he unclipped the rest of his armour, revealing a uniform of dark grey urban camo, now stained with blood. He spat profanity after profanity as he picked up his rifle again and stepped back from Max, radio in hand "Command, zis is Rederick... Vozvado is down and we have found another subject... Requesting backup..."
-----
Back up at the surface a radio operator kneeling beside the second helicopter glanced up at the vixen in cadet uniform and then back down to his radio "This is command, no men can be spared... You are to be re-assigned in search for the First Child. You have your orders Rederick" The vixen nodded and closed her eyes, this plan was not beyond fixing after all...
-
"oh..." Emily whispered as she took the journal back "your welcome" smiling she placed it on the table beside the couch. she looked down at herself, then back at Raph, she noticed that Raph was wearing jeans and no shit..."why no shirt?" unlike other girl, the would of been blushing at a half naked male, but since Emily was an artist, she never felt bothered, but she did feel bothered by wearing the skin tight suit she was wearing " I wonder if anyone has anything comfortable?" she could smell herself, she exhaled in disgust "and a shower would be awesome" she said to herself, slowly sitting up. she clutched her shoulder, "oooh....pain..."
-
max looked around, all he could see was black, black in every direction, a dark set of eyes apeeared in front of him. "yonte dnotek netre onif yonte ream."(you don't know who you are.) "who are you?! where am i?! what have you done to me?!" a body started to materialise around the eyes, a darker version of himself stood there looking through him. "you don't know who you are, you can not controle us if you can not controle yourself." "answer me!!" he shouted getting back up and attacking the figure in a blind rage. the figure just grabbed him by the throught and smashed him into the ground. "i am what makes you you, i am the accumulation of your mind and soul, i am shineteki otre threnk meteniki deth! (servant to the master dark!) i am you." Max's eyes went wide open at this proclamation how could this be happening? "ii am your shadow, our power is linked together, you are only as strong as you want to be......and i can only get as strong as you need me to be. said shineteki otre threnk meteniki deth staring into Max's eyes, the dark yellows quaking in fear of the pitch black irises surrounded by the red wire like veins separating the almost black golds where the whites should have been.
-
Reginald, upon hearing Wren and his patients escape, shot the dog in the limo with him dead. his temper was flaring and it was becoming wild and violent. his cell phone rang, the ID made him calm down only slightly "what the hell is is Anastasia?" he barked. a low chuckle was heard on the other line "you need better security Reginald, how is it a bunch of gifted teenager were able to escape?"
he growled, not replying, she sighed on the other line "well, on another topic, I am going to the meeting you requested. I hope that the President of the U.S will buy our act"
oh ...he will... Reginald thought to himself " just be yourself toots and everything will be just fine"
Zanya was starting to cough up blood, she finally something, stopped, everything stopped...eye clouded with death, she died.
Anastasia finally arrived at the white house. many greasy politicians stared in lust as the beautiful vixen passed. she arrived at a large, oak door, someone opened it for her as she walked in, several well groomed anthro male in suits watched her in awe as she saw down in one of the seat, placing the brief case on to the table "afternoon gentlemen"
"Ms. Smith" one replied. she smiled at her fake name. Angelina Smith. finally the President came in, everyone stood up. once he sat down, so did everyone else.she thought to herselfnow...let the seduction begin
-
Oliver, actually smiled when Wren started to yell at him again. "You heard him Max, lets get back to the hideout." "Cid, grab a hold of the railing!" "You better not tip the van over, I don't have much ammo to spare for a readjustment!" In moments the van did a 180 turn and dodged the oncoming cars before sliding into an alley that just barely fit the vehicle. "When we get out of sight, we'll tell you about the 'gifted', but the original won't be here anytime soon. Gotta put another monkey-wrench in the USSA's works..."
A scrawny but tall bright green dragon, wearing faux-bifocals and formal attire, had a clipboard in hand as he waited until the vixen went inside the president's office before knocking on the door. "Mr. President, I have a form that requires your attention..."
-
Anastasia eyes narrowed when her presentation about the U.S.S.A was disturbed, the scrawny dragon looked awfully familiar. her fox ears laid down, that her audience was turned to the dragon, she was doing so well in convincing them to fund for their secret organization. the president got up, and followed the dragon into the other room
"what is it?" he asked
Wren raised an eyebrow "what in hells name is he doing?" he asked sharply. yet a curious tone lightened it.
-
Oliver gestured to Jared, who cracked a smile before putting the shotgun under his seat unloaded. "Well, there are about five of us here, one is in D.C., and the other, the one who got us into the USSA base, is working closely with a certain Anastasia. But, the original was aware of the complications of having two copies with two well-informed individuals. She will only assist in small ways by offering passcodes for security doors, since her position is so vital to our counter-efforts."
The dragon presented the form, which was written by 'Angelina Smith', and showed funds from USSA for 'Extra Firepower'. "I managed to find this after looking through Ms. Smith's recent payments, since it is important that a man of your stature only meet with characters of at least a somewhat virtuous nature. After reading both regular and fine print, I was able to notice that this was payment for 'hired hands' from Russia, and some from Afganistan. I may just be your secretary, but I must advise against anything Ms. Smith has to say. Her fundings are more black market than human trade, and her 'help's arrival could cause an international incident."
-
Wren processed this information carefully. finally, after scratching his head. "one question, why now does Reginald want a team of ragtag teens when he clearly has a an army sleeping underground, waiting for the word to attack this country?"
-
Oliver cut in before Max or Jared could even formulate a thought. "Its the reason why they were in that base to begin with, and in fifteen more minutes of tail-shaking we'll tell you the rest..."
-
the president rubbed his forehead, as if having a migraine "and you know this how?" he asked in irritation "Ms. Smith's presentation was clearly reasonable"
Wren eased into his chair "alrighty then" he then grinned sadistically "have fun"
-
Chuck's body lurched and flared with indescribable pain. His face contorted in panic as he let out another yell.
"Right now your body's adapting to the drug, which will allow you psychic control over your squad.. standard five man team from nonstandard origin. For this operation you will be co-operating with other liberated elements from the labs." A NCO droned on, decked out in special armor so he wouldn't be ripped to shreds by the power surge.
Chuck was strapped down to the medicial gurney, so he didn't flee from sheer terror, it rocked and rattled as he struggled to get free, but to no avail.
-
The secretary raised a brow and handed him the file, seemingly insulted at the President questioning his knowledge. "Its all on the paper, and in fairness, shes probably trying to seduce you: A married man and the cheif executive of United States of America. But, if you honestly want to take her at face value only, go right ahead."
-
Raphael looked at his body, "I see no reason to hide this. Besides if I had a shirt on, you wouldn't be able to see my claw marks." He gestured to the marks he made from tearing off his suit. "I was talking with Halfeb earlier and we agree that we shouldn't stay here much longer. He knows a place that we can lay low for a bit while the heat dies down. I'll see if Halfeb has any real clothes you can wear." Raphael left then to find Halfeb.
-
When raph left she shook her head and thought why in the world would he want me to see his claw marks... showing off perhaps?, his scent hit her nose, it was a strong powerful scent, oddly to her it smelt amazing! shaking her head, she rubbed her nose. smelling the air again, it was gone, but her nose was back to normal a mini one? shaking her head, she felt her heart pound in her chest. hoping that was just an illusion. shaking her head she followed him slowly. looking at all the pictures...of his family, friends, but one that caught her eye was him and very pretty girl...she had the sudden urge to draw this picture of romantic tenderness... something she had always been curious about.
The President did look at the file, it did say things in very fine print, rubbing his forehead again, he gave it back "get her out of her, even if my partners disagree" he went into his oval office, quickly asking one of the assistants to get him some water and some asprin.
-
The secretary was able to hide his grin as he walked over to 'Ms. Smith' and kept the papers under his arm to prevent anyone else from seeing them. "The President will consider your proposal later, I must ask that you take your leave, Ms. Smith."
-
Anastasia was furious but she kept her cool feature, she had a feeling something was wrong, but she did pack up her presentation and left, but not right away...this time she went into the bathroom, from her briefcase she pulled out a whole new outfit,wig, and make-up....
-
max sat in the darkness, still staring into the eyes of his shadow. "where are we?" "we are in you, this is your subconscious, it has been bent to the needs that i have here. you are in my home." the two sat there, mirroring each other apart from Max's lighter scales and their differant eyes. "you have much to learn and little time to learn, i shall teach you the language of shadows, with it you shall have greater controle over your gift. and once you master it and become stronger you can tame me, meaning you can call upon me to fight as i have done. for today was just a sample of our true power." "teach me.........so i can protect the others and my family." "they are our family, all of them are connected to each other. these others are connected through a bond of power and our family is connected through a bond of love, with that when you are a full power.........you could be unstopable...........
-
"Go ahead and take a shower Emily. I'll find some clothes for you when you're done. We'll leave for Halfeb's secret place afterwards. Oh, and stay away from the windows, just in case." Raphael left to go find Halfeb to see if he could find out more about this haven of his.
-
his amazing scent hit her again, leaving her stunned for a second, she then rushed into the nearest bathroom which was down a LONG hallway. she stood in the bathroom for a minute, locking the door then undressed and began to remove her bandages. it was a small wound with a few stitches. turning on the water she looked at the shampoos. Axe, old spice, and some other male shampoo. laughing to herself and stepping into the hot water that soothed her sore muscles, she used old spice, with the old spice commercial lines in her head. she didn't care if she 'smelled' like a guy. maybe if I find something it might turn into diamonds then her thoughts drifted back to Raph, way was his scent so powerful now? when she first met him, she didn't notice anything different then from Seth or Chuck, but it was beginning to scare her. she thought that maybe the formula was doing this to her. convinced she rinsed and turned off the water reluctantly. grabbing a towel to wrap around her naked body. she stood there, unsure, she could wear the suit again but then again...it was skin tight and awkward.
-
Seth had no idea what he was doing, he had what seemed to be an endless supply of people running at him, some of them shooting, he turned around and threw his arm at them, causing a vine to fly from the wall, knocking some of them out, and then dissolving, but the people where soon replaced. He was growing weaker, the plants where as strong, and he could talk to the wind, he made a left and saw his wood wall of safety, he lunged into it, floating threw it like butter, and ploping right next to max.
-
"our time is nearing its end. i can only do one more thing to ensure your survival for now. let the darkness guide you to your true power." said the shadowy figure before lunging at max and clawing down his throat like a living ooze. the darkness opened up to a wooden dome with Seth siting next to him. "what happened?"
-
"I'm not sure I leave you for 5 seconds and now we are surrounded"
-
"let me take a look, lets see if this works. shineteki otre threnk meteniki deth, lishne mitne yonteret entenm." (servant to the master dark, lend me your eyes.) he put a hand to where the eyes would be on his shadow. he then moved his other hand over his own eyes as his shadow crept under the wall of vines and wood before returning. "it's clear but i think you should have a look to, just in case i missed something, hold still." max sighed holding a hand over Seth's shadow. "spinchente flesk hintente, lishne mitne yonteret entenm." he held his other hand over Seth's eyes. "take a look...." Seth shadow crept under the wall, showing Seth life through its eyes.
-
He stood there silent, not knowing what just happened, or what is going on, but kind of stunned, in amazement. "Alright lets move," he said as the wood pieces started to move away, he slowly crept out, "come on before some one comes-" his voice is silenced with the sound of gun shots, two bullets pierce his superior part of his arm, fracturing his arm. He screams in pain as he falls to the ground holding the wound, he try's to force his eyes to look at his attackers, they looked different the others, "we must kill them all" one said as he aimed his gun at Seth and fired. Seth felt tears stream from his face as the noise from the bullets echoed though his ears. "Dam it" Seth yelled in a slightly deeper voice, it was a bit rougher then his normal, cute lil boy voice. The air around seth spun with such force that it ripped the wood wall into pieces, when the debrie cleared, the guards face where covered with small lacerations, and wood embedded in them.
-
"hold on tight I'll get us out of here." max said grabbing Seth and putting him on his back. "lalnet threnk inshekdren heknu vinshe sme frenla, granchmeti otre Yonteret thinte!" (all the shadows that wish us harm, scream to your body's!) all the guards in the facility fell to the ground holding their ears as they were filled with echoing high pitched screams. "OK, lets get you out of here." max said carry Seth out of the facility and into a car they found outside.
-
"Wait you-" before he could fight back, Seth was already taken. When max put seth down, he couldn't help but eye him with a look of disdain, "thanks" he uttered, not wanting to make it to obvious. His voice was still a little deeper, and rougher. He put his arm on the ground as vines started to wrap around it, they formed a cocoon around it. He tugged his arm away, only leaving a hard shell of the cocoon, he looked at max, and spread his wings, they have been so stiff all day. "Now lets us move shall we?"
"Where... where am I" Seth said in his normal scared voice, "kid, you should pay attention more, the earth told you this would happen", the rougher deeper version of his voice said. "wait who are you!", "I'm you more or less, probably less, anyways call me Siyan, think of me as your other ego. We now share this body, at night it is all mine," Siyan said as he laughed.
-
Halfeb knocked on the bathroom door. "Hey Emily, good to hear you're up and feeling better. The Doctor told me you were in there." He said through the door. "Umm, look, I had a look around the place and found some womens clothes. I'm not sure if they are in your size." He told her. He was lying though, he had go Nate to go out and get some new clothes for her, stuff to make her blend in. "I'll leave them outside the door for you." He said as he put down the clothes and walked away.
He found Raph and smiled as he got himseof something to eat. "Hey, nice jeans. I forgot I even had those." He said before looking again, "Whats the matter? Couldn't find a fitting shirt?" He asked smiling.
-
Emily opened the door. nearly blinking several times, these clothes were her style and her size... she laughed when she saw the tags nice Halfeb she laughed. she almost died with laughter when she saw that she even had underwear and a sports bra. putting them on (unders,light blue boot cut jeans, plain black t-shit and socks) she came out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. "thanks" she gave a playful wink to them before she grabbed a bottled water.
-
"sorry for saving you, next time I'll just use you as a shield." max joked noticing the look he was getting. he got in the car after opening a door for Seth. "lets go, i know the way." he said starting the car, once Seth got in he heard the shadows leading him towards the others he had helped escape.
-
"I don't think anyone will mind seeing this." Raphael flexed, showing off his abs. They weren't spectacular or anything, but he'd always been a bit overweight and this made him feel really good about himself. "I remember you said something about a place we should go after we went here. Should we still go?" He grabbed a banana from the table and put it on his nose. He was in a really good mood today.
-
Emily, being blunt mentioned "if you wanna keep the abs, gotta keep exercising and eat properly, which is pretty easy" she then lifted she form fitting t-shit to show off her abs, the putting it back down "always had these" she then looked at Halfeb "yeah, where are we going anyway?"
-
He smiled as he shook his head at thier abs contest. "It's a little group of people a couple of miles out of town. They're not very trusting of government or corperate people. Most of them are conspiricy nuts. And, they got guns. Alot of guns. I performed there a few years back after I ran into some trouble with some bad men. Lucky me I ran into them and they sheltered me." He told them. "Now, just a warning, its not exactly the lap of luxury. They all stay in trailors or in little underground houses they built. The underground ones are actually pritty cool." He added before grabbing the keys to his aston martin DBZ. "Oh, and, by the way," He stopped and lifted his shirt, showing his perfectly formed abs, "I got these from a life and trying to kill myself. Go figure."
-
Raph burst out laughing. An Ab contest, go figure. "All right then. Let's go!" He striked a pose with his banana as if on some sort of tv show. He wasn't exactly sure why he was like this today. Something just told him that today was gonna be a really good one.
-
"yea.." he said as he got in, he could fell the his arm scream out in pain, but he has seen and had worse. He just hoped this wouldn't be a weak one.
-
"Your in a good mood..." Emily said, her shoulder was still very sore. she chugged her water and put the bottle in the recycle bin. "so, when do we leave?"
-
At the hideout, which looked like a rundown apartment in the projects, opened up one of the side walls to let the van in before closing again. There, Max drove them down a winding ramp until they reached a dome that had three buildings and an underground river that flowed from the ocean to the water table of New York's resevior. The van pulled up to a theatre like building, and Cid got off the roof to open up the van doors. "Come on VIP, Max is going to debrief the rest of us in the Hall..."
The secretary knocked on the bathroom door, wondering why it took so long for Ms. Smith to leave. There isn't any underground tunnels in the bathroom on the second floor, what is taking this woman so long?
-
Wren ran his fingers through his black hair, walking twords a door, the door burst open when he reached it, many of the followers who were minding their own buisness froze in place. either stumbling or dropping whatever they had. One in paticular, a short, mouse girl stood up, knowcking over her desk wen she yelled "WREN?!" everyone cheered and clapped his shoulder or back as he reached his very own 'office' Good to be home...wish I could share this with you Emily.. he waited for Max to come in and show him the files.
Anastasia exited through the the other exit. avoiding the secretary, she looked completely different. no one recognized her... she headed toward one of the offices.
-
Anastiasia's phone started to vibrate in her purse, and the Caller ID displayed the name 'Emmy'.
The five dragons easily made their way through the crowds, since most attempts at stopping any of them were met with hostility by the rest. Kade, Jared, Oliver, and Cid went into their rec room and played the game system as their small reward for putting their lives on the line by at least getting into one firefight that they won. Max got all of information onto a spare laptop, and had it printed out so he could present it to Wren.
Upon entering the room, he handed the papers to Wren before sitting down and looking out the window. "The reason they're called 'gifted' is because the USSA caught them and shot them up with some kind of wonder-drug, with quite the nasty side-effects."
-
"ahh...yes the so called Formula" Wren said darkly as he took the papers from Max's hands, he skimmed through the others untill he landed on Emily's. he tried to hide a smile. then he frowned "her title is 'Artisan...as in the Kuznetsov experiment, when he came up with a new species of 'gifted?' that was supposedly genetic " he looked through her genetics page "it shows nothing of her parents or parents before her having that particular 'gene' "
Anastasia smiled when she saw Emmy's name she opened the phone "hey!"
-
"OK we're here." max sighed pulling up to halfeb's front gate. he got out of the car and walked over to the buzzer/doorbell. he pressed it and heard someone he didn't recognise ask him who he was. "I'm here with a friend of someone inside, we're here to meet up with the others."
-
Max held back a snicker when Wren questioned her lineage. "We may have been born with our powers, but they are not inherited. In fact, the Formula is the attempt at creating 'gifted'. Its a double-edged cocktail that is probably more trouble than the sum of its parts."
In an apartment suite owned and paid for by USSA, a black dragoness is clipping her talons while wearing the standard labcoat and slacks. To her right she has the mainframe of the base that was recently raided by the resistance dragons. "Nice to hear that someone isn't completely stressed out, so how did the meeting go?"
-
Halfeb went to the intercom and saw Nate answering it. He looked at them through the security camera. "Sure, they're cool, let them in. Also, ready the bus. If we got more people we're going to need it." He added before Nate hit the buzzer to open the gate.
-
the gate slowly opened and max drove the car up to the main door. "let's good Seth, see who we're working with." he said just before the doors opened.
-
Anastasia rolled her eyes "I ran into an annoyance that ruined the meeting, somehow I am going to have to get back in there... I had them all into it." she sighed heavily. she checked herself in the mirror. still extremely sexy, even with the slim glasses " how about you, you day coming along or is it just as annoying with interference...such as, Wren getting loose?"
-------------------------
Emily was anxious to see who they were, when she saw Seth, she ran to him "oh my god, I am soo glad your safe!!" hugging him tightly she rocked side to side
---------------------------------
"mmm...thats joyful" Wren said sarcastically. he sat down in his swivel chair, sighing as he turned on the computer. he set down the folders before rubbing his eyes " So when is your original getting back?" he asked in a tired tone
-
"Max! Seth! Oh how joyous it is to see you!" Raph ran to Max, hugging him tightly, almost crushing him. "Op, sorry. I'm just so happy to see you got out. I suppose you'll be joining us then?" Raph couldn't hide the smile on his face if he tried to. It was the chowder party all over again, except for Max, but since he was the first of his friends, he counted him anyway.
-
Emily felt so happy that all of her friends were safe again....
-
"nice to see you to raph. Seth took a hit or two during our escape but should be fine. and sorry if i scared or hurt any of you earlyer........i wasn't in controle." max said rubbing raph's head softly while looking at the others. "but there were others we couldn't get to......."
-
Halfeb walked down the steps and shook both thier hands. He wasn't that big on hugging men. "Good to see you're both alive. We're leaving here soon, so, grab your stuff. Theres a bus down in the garage. Once everyones fed and ready we'll get out of here." He told them as he let them all in.
-
Raphael, not having anything, walked straight onto the bus. Taking a seat, he closed his eyes and started to day dream. He thought of the monks he left, would they miss him? Probably not. He never felt wanted there anyway. The base. Where was it? Why were they brought there? His friends. They liked them. They liked him too. Today was just gonna keep getting better.
-
Inside the bus was everything most people would have in thier homes. The seats were like couches, there was an eatting area, a couple of TV's, even a toilet and bathroom in the back of the bus. Everything was name brand, all the sponers that Halfeb endorced. Top name brands too, the fridge was full of coke-cola, mars bars and M&M's. And even cold cuts up the top. An Xbox 360 was plugged into the main TV with Halfebs own daredevil game inside it. Everything was red and white and yellow. And the floor was carpeted. Nate threw a fter trunks in the storage compartment under the bus. Halfeb stepped onboard the bus too. "This is my tour bus. I hope you all like it." He said to the others as he walked on.
-
"wow.....this bus is worth more than my entire building, and its contents!" max joked looking over the bus. "oh and are we going past the city? i could really use some stuff from home?" he walked over to halfeb, still in his almost seethrough clothes with burnt out luminescent sections. "as you can tell, my cell was 'specially designed' for me."
-
He looked Max up and down, "How did most of us end up either destroying out clothes or needing a wardrobe change so bad..." He ask himself. "Umm, I got a whole lot of clothes up stairs in my room if you wanna run up and get something inconspicuous. Umm, I don't know about going to anyones houses though, cause, chances are, tey'll be there waiting for you." He told him, "So, if you desperatly need to go back, we can make it quick, otherwise, I'd suggest wearing what you can find." He told Max, being frank.
-
"OK, I'll raid your clothes then could i make a call? otherwise when this is all over I'll be safer back in my cell than on the same continent as my father." he joked leaving the room. he went upstairs and found some clothes he liked. some black cargo pants and a shirt. he quickly went back to the car remembering something of his he had grabbed just before finding Seth. he went back down to the bus. "you have way to much clothing that you haven't worn, there's over half a wardrobe of clothes with tags still attached."he said sitting down casually.
(i think we should wait for sain before continuing to much further.)
-
She stopped clipping her nails, and turned towards her computer to pull up the system history before speaking again. "Um, I couldn't do much about it since USSA 'human services' insisted I take a day off after working every week. All I could do was basically play 'damage assesment' after our wolf-man escaped his cage. Apparently they did more than just release Wren, four subjects were also released, and someone downloaded all of our notes and data on the Formula. You'd think that man you put in charge of security would at least put the system on lockdown the moment Wren escaped."
Max glanced back at Wren with an uneasy grin before looking out the window once more. "Salevrin planned to go missing for several years only a few months before this job was pulled off, in the meantime, we would be considered your 'A-team' or 'Black Ops' of the rebellion."
-
Wren ran his hands over his face "I thought he would do that...." he eased back into his chair "all right then... you can go have your break, we have all had enough for today"
-
Chuck, now fully recovered from his painful experience, went to inspect his new soldiers. He was shocked to see them all growing in vats.
"They're.... they're.... clones?"
"Exactly" the scientist responded, now without special armor, because Chuck could now control his powers and didn't need to siphon people to survive anymore.
"Name them what you like, they now respond to your commands" he said as the vats opened, and as one the four clones stepped out of the tank and immediately saluted, head to toe all of them were in similar armor to Chuck's own.
"Six, You'll be Blue, Mu, and Delta" he said, picking the names at random. The clones immediately took to their new names and marched to a helicopter.
"Your orders are to destroy the USSA, and cripple the leadership of the USA, and deal with that rebellion against the USSA, they might cause major problems if not destroyed."
-
Halfeb nodded, "And thats just in this house alone. It lets me feel more free if all my houses have enough stuff for me to stay a while." He told Max. He then threw him a mobile phone, "Its disposable. Always have a few around incase I pick up staff on the road and need to keep in contact with them." He added.
-
Siyan rocked in annoyance he looked out side, the sun was coming "thank God" he said in a low irritated voice. His ears twitched as his eyes widened as he made the transition, he looked at Emily, "I was so worried" he said pulling her in tightly. The make shift cast fell apart, leavening the open wound, the bones where healed but his arm was still had flesh wounds. He screamed in agony as the pain hit him, bringing him to his knees.
-
Emily gasped and asked frantically "whats wrong!!" she looked at the wound "oh my god.." was all she could say "Seth, SETH!!!"
-
"thanks, I'll be right back." max walked outside and picked a secluded spot of the house that he thought was empty before dialing I'm the number. "who the...... "Jake its me, max. is my dad there?" "what? where have you been? your dads been chucking a fit for the last few days looking for you man, hes worried about you........" "look, put him on.......i want to talk to him." the phone went silent for a minute before a rough sounding voice answered. "who's this?" "dad.......i can't tell you were i am.....or where I'm going. all i can tell you is that I'm fine, I'm with a group of others with powers like me and........i found who took mum.....they tried to get me and the others. i still have mums cross though, for if she's still alive." "max, i knew something had happened but i never imagined.......just stay safe and if you find your mother........please try to bring her back, for everyone." "i will dad. I'll see you when i can." max hung up the phone and looked out of the large window in the room and just stood there watching the sunrise while sighing.
-
Halfeb told Nate to get the Doc, who rushed in and started making Max a proper cast, after stitching up the wound. He also gave Max some mild pain killers. "Doc, any chance of getting you to come with us?" Halfeb asked him.
"Sorry guys, I've a date tonight." He said before getting his stuff, "So, I'm actually out guys. Have fun." Halfeb nodded and helped Max onto the bus.
-
come on seth, she went to the bis, she was worried about everything right now. she wanted to be somewhere safe.
-
Halfeb called out through the house, "All aboard! We're leaving!" He then got into the bus and waiting for the others.
-
Seth got on the bus, looked at halfeb, "thanks" he said as he geasters at the cast, getting on the bus and resting his head down.
-
Raphael looked at everyone on the bus. There was Max, Emily, Seth, himself, and Halfeb. "I think everyone's here Halfeb. Let's move em out!" Raphael turned to Emily. "You feelin' alright? You've been acting kinda strange today."
-
suddenly the occupants of a buss heard a helicopter overhead, a transport chopper, for all they knew it could have anyone in it, but it contained Chuck and his squad.
"Targets in sight sir, shall we destroy them?" Six asked, manning the high caliber machine gun.
"Negative Six, at least not yet. we could use them to deal with the USSA"
Mu took the helicopter on an approach vector and landed nearby the bus, Chuck, Six, and Delta jumped off the chopper and went to greet the rebels. Chuck took off his helmet.
"Well if it isn't all my friends! A pleasure to see you again, and alive too! To be honest I thought everyone died back at the labs"
-
Emily came out of the bus, she thought she heard chucks voice. but she froze when she heard "died back at the lab" she saw armor, helicopter, men... Emily gaped at him "what the hell is this" she waved her hand at all the...military like equipment. "honestly, I thought you died too Chuck, I felt like [censored] because I couldn't find you" she still stayed o the bus, not daring to go any closer "are you gonna capture us too?"
-
Chuck raised his hands in protest.
"No, these men I have with me are with the Russians, our rightful allies, They helped me escape from the labs, and these men in particular have been tasked with destroying the USSA as a threat to every nation. I just came along for the promise of .. I don't know, getting some sense of fulfillment from keeping other gifted from being unfortunate victims of their greed."
The drugs implanted in his system by the Russians gave him knowledge of how to willingly lie and not give it away, and gave him a grasp of battle tactics and weapon usage.
"These Russians can't be all bad, I mean they helped me learn to control my power, now I don't need to constantly feed off of people to survive, and I don't kill people in close proximity anymore."
-
Emily felt his emotions, calm, composed...a liar. she narrowed her eyes and back away slowly "I see..." she slowly, she gestured for Nate to start it up..."well then... goodbye"
-
"Hey, you still there? Anna, answer me!!"
Max could only laugh at Wren's frustration as he walked out of the office. He opened the door again and turned towards Wren, with a sly grin. "If you'd like, I could put a tracer on Emily the next time we come in contact."
-
"think of it this way Emily, big brother Chuck is ready to help you when he can"
Motioning for Six and Delta to follow him, he leapt onto the chopper.
"Just know the Russians aren't so forthcoming, they're more of a shoot first ask questions never kind of people"
(aside to his people which the bus can't hear)
"Blu take us up. If we see that bus ever again, we'll open up with everything..."
-
The bus started up. Halfeb watched Chuck and Emily from the door of the bus.
-
"Psst. Halfeb. Are you sure this place of yours is safe? If Chuck found us, that means others can too." Raph made sure Chuck couldn't see him talking to Halfeb, just in case.
-
Wren liked the offer but shook his head "no, its fine, she will come when its time"
________
Anna didn't feel the tranquilizer in her neck. she woke up in a dark room, one light and a table "what the hell is this??" she asked darkly. "Emmy" a voice unrecognizable said "Emmy she is fine, we will speak later" ....
Emily boarded the bus "I don't like this...something is wrong, I can feel it" Emily had nothing against Chuck, she was glad that he was okay...but something in her gut told her that something was about to happen that was very, very wrong...
-
Halfeb looked at the russians. "Sorry guys, I can't risk it." He said as Nate shut the bus door. "Good luck Chuck. Don't let the use you." He said as he shut the window. Nate opened the garage door and hit the gas. They were all aboard. Halfeb sat quietly in his seat. He didn't like leaving people behind, but, he had to trust the others on this one. Emily knew people ever since the incadent.
-
Emelia almost threw the phone, but turned back to her computer and stopped going through the system mainframe, and focused on tracing Anastasia's cell. "I wish Max was here, he'd have gotten this done in half a minute."
-
max yawned calmly laying down at the back of the bus dangling the small cross in his fingers, the small chain between his index and thumb. "so......now what? cos i missed the entire planing thing." he called to anyone that would answer.
-
Halfeb was in deep thought about leaving Chuck, if he had truely done the right thing. He then snapped out of it when Max asked where they were going. "There's a little group of people just outside of town. They live heavily armed and don't like government and coperate people. They are pritty paranoid. But, they like me because I performed for them once and raised money for them. We should be safe with them until we get a new plan." He told Max. Before getting up and walking to the fridge and getting himself out a bottle of Gaterade. "Help yourself to all the stuff guys." He told them all.
-
"can do! and as for this group of people, do you know if there's a woman there, basically an older version of me but with dark green scales?" he asked holding the cross still while staring at the intricate engravings covering the entire piece of steel.
-
Halfeb shrugged as he sat back in his seat and opened his drink. "Honestly, its been so long since I was there last. She might be there. I didn't get to meet everyone there either. I only met the head people and stuff. So you might find who you're looking for, you might not." He told Max, being frank. "Sorry man."
-
"don't be, its not your fault. plus theres hundreds of places she could be that are safe." he smiled sitting up and turning towards the front of the bus. "what i would like to know is why no one has asked me any questions. i mean, just of the top of my head I've got what happened to me during the escape? what i called you when i first meet you?" he turned to to Seth momentarily. "how i knew where to bring Seth without anyone telling me where to go? whats the deal with this cross? and who it is that I'm looking for? and I'm sure that's not all the questions i could think of." he rested his back against the wall behind him now looking out the window across from him.
-
"Sorry man," Halfeb replied, "Just had alot on my mind. Just with everything thats gone down. So, tell us, how did you know where to come and all that?" He asked looking at Max.
-
"OK I'll tell you a bit but i don't really want to start rambling. lets see, back when i was in my cell they deprived me of the use of my gift which is to communicate with shadows, which basically explains your question, over the time i was imprisoned my power built up and took over. the being that released you, Emily, Raph and Seth wasn't actually me, it was my shadow posesing my body which is why i seemed......eviler......than normal. i learnt another basis of my power and now have basic controle over weak shadows. Seth during the escape i called you spinchente flesk hintente, that is your shadow's name, it translates in to enforcer of spirits. and the entity you meet earlyer is called shineteki otre threnk meteniki deth, that is my shadow's name and translates into servant to the master dark. as for the cross and the woman, the cross is hers and she is............important to me..........she was captured a few years ago put i found out she escaped and went into hiding. i have to find her." he sat there completely still, the cross between his fingers. "she's another gifted by the way......."
-
Chuck and his chopper shadowed the bus from a safe distance in which it could not be detected. When they were at the safehouse with the rest of the rebels, the trap would spring.
-
Emily sat towards the back...listening to max's story... "you guys...I think Chuck thinks we are with the an organization"
-
"He's the one with an organization. How do we know he wasn't in with those a-holes that captured us? A chopper and an army with him? He got the best deal out of all of us."
-
"I know...but, something is not right, I don't think he is think we are with the ones who captured us...whoever we are... when that one wolf picked me up, he also had a team...but more, I guess you can say, unorganized, like a rebellion"
-
Halfeb nodded. "Well, when we get to this place, they'll have to get through quiet a bit of fire power before they get to us." He told them. "Anyway, we're not part of any reballion. Not that I know off anyway." He told them.
-
Emily had a thoughtful look on her face, grasping the idea Halfeb produced. "okay, well..thats good I suppose"
-
Emelia finally traced the call, then pulled out her own phone that was provided to her by Salverin after he divided himself into seven people. She called the number for the assistant, who immedeatly picked up the phone when it was convenient. "Emmy, whats wrong?" "I know she was going to do something dangerous, but you gotta help me Jake, someone's got Annie!!" Jake closed and locked the door of his office before sitting back down. "You know what 'he' said, neither of us are to leave our position for any reason with the exception of us being in the danger of death!! Get Oliver, Kade, or Max to help you as we both have our positions to play!" He hung up the phone and went back to the door to unlock it, then felt the urge to open the door...
-
A few hours later the bus was driving out in the forest. Things started to look like the middle of nowhere. Halfeb went to the front of the bus and looked out. Halfeb tapped the driver on the shoulder. "stop here." He said. There was a dirt road leading into the forest. The door opened and Halfeb walked out, he opened the underside of the bus and started grabbing peoples stuff. "We have to walk from here." He told them. "And follow me, foot step for foot step." He added before pointing out the tripwire the bus would have run over if it turned down the dirt road. He then stepped over it and started walking into the forest.
-
"well at least they like their privacy......" max said getting of the bus calmly.
-
Seth got off the bus,and jumped on a tree, "they don't appreciate this you know, how would you like to be blown up" he said, putting his hands on the tree.
-
"honestly?.....depends on how much its gonna hurt." max joked watching Seth.
-
A tree branch feel right onto maxs toe, "they said a lot more then that, thes trees.... there are rather violent sort, so just watch what you say"
-
-__- "you wanna go trees!" max yells as chanting fills his ears. "i can hear that!!" his right eye starts to twitch while he listens to the trees shadows chant insults. "just what i needed.......obnoxious trees......."
-
Raph followed Halfeb's steps as closely as he could. He found the idea of trip wires humorous, as if he could trip on them.
-
"boys, knock it off" Emily hissed, she could feel the peaceful serenity in this forest. her footsteps usually would cause allot of noise...but her grace, fluid silent movements made her completely silent on the forest floor. she gently ran a hand over a large tree trunk...smiling, she had always loved the forest...
-
Halfeb looked back at looked back at Max and Seth, "Look, tweedledumb and tweedledumber, its not only trip wires you have to watch for. The reason I say follow me step for step is because there are pressure mines too." He told them as he continues along the road. "Like I said, they arn't very trusting of government or corperate types. PS, they don't think sining the theme from Deliverance is very funny." He told them as he took them deeper.
-
"You didn't have to be an ass" Seth said sour in his tone, "and I've been told where everything is, ill be more then fine"
-
max just looked blankly at Seth while following the others carefully. "they started it......"
-
"Sorry was talking to Mr.Grumpy Gills," Seth said pointing at halfeb
-
"Well, don't mean to be grumpy, just don't want to get you all this far to have you blown into ten million pieces." He told them, there then a calling out infront of them.
"Who, the hell, goes there!?" A scraggly fox yelled from up infront of them, cocking his shotgun.
"Peter, put your gun down! Its me and some friends seeking refuge." Halfeb yelled at him.
"Friend or foe?" Peter yelled back, before Halfeb grabbed his gun and pointed it the other way.
"Ignore him guys, he's special in the head." He told them as he continued on. "Oh don't stress about following me footstep for foot step anymore, it was just that part that had land mines."
-
Raph eyed the fox as they continued past. He walked closer to Halfeb. "What's deliverance?"
-
The chopper touched down a ways out of the forest, and Chuck and his troops disembarked.
"Seeing that the enemy has taken to the forests, a through search is impossible, therefore Six and Delta will set fire to the forests here here and here to flush them out of their hiding place. Understood?"
"Roger Sir!" delta said as the two saluted and ran off with det packs on their backs.
"Blue, stay with the chopper and provide air support with Mu, do whatever you can to harass them from the skies, after the forest has burnt a bit, Delta, Six, and I are going to move in for the coup de grace"
-
she gave Peter a slight nod as she pasted, something told her that she going to be...somewhat okay,she sighed, hopefully nothing bad will happen yet, she looked to the sky, covered by trees. "so...this is it" her heart pounded as she felt a strong breeze. she stood still for a moment. listening...something was off, her senses knew it
-
"Det packs ready commander, awaiting your signal"
"Roger that, move to minimum safe distance, and i'll start the countdown,"
-
Seth stood still,"what do you mean.... where" Seth shook his head and looked at the others, "some one is here, there packing and they got a flying vehicle, most likely a helicopter, but these trees aren't to familiar with all the technical jumbo, where is Jeffery when you need him" Seth said mainly to him self at the end.
-
"3....2.......1......."
The detonation packs, with a few cases of incendary ammo shoved into them for good effect did their jovs and detonated when chuck hammered the switch. The incendiary ammo either went off, or blew in direction of the forest, with trees blown back by the explosion, or on fire, sometimes both, the fire began to spread as the incendiary ammo continued to went off and the fire began to move inward.
"BLUE I want you to find their vehicle and take it down!" Chuck ordered, and he got a wink on Blue and Mu's acknowledgment lights.
"Delta and Six, meet on me, we're going into the blaze, armor on!"
-
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seth yelled screaming holding his ears from the screams of the trees, "they lit the forest on fire!!" Seth yelled, seth ran in the direction of the screams, the air around him began to circulate, and then turned into full blown guest, rushing up ahead, blowing in the direction of the bad peoples, blowing the toxic fumes into there face, along with burning hot ashes.
-
With the helmets on, the toxic wind only managed to clog their vision.
"Keep going, My guess is nature boy doing some weird 'gift' power to try and strangulate us with our own smoke, well let him assume he did us in."
-
Emily heard the explosion, smelt it and felt it within the earth. she turned to Halfeb "I have a feeling that might be Chuck!" she yelled. she looked around, she noticed a couple of startled children...mothers...dads. Emily began to worry how aggressive will Chuck get? she ran to Seth's side, gripping his shoulders. "we can't risk our cover seth!!" she looked, the smoke stinged her eyes. hey over developed senses made it much harder to deal with stuff like this...
-
max thought he saw something in the confusion, a tall dark green lizard running towards one of the explosions, he ran after her trying to catch up and find out if this was really who he was looking for? was this his mother?..........
-
"I can't let them do this!" Seth said as he pulled away, he jumped ina tree, as one the braches lifted him in the air, he saw four people, it was chuck. His teeth tightened in anger, 'i should of killed him!' He thought to himself. He plunged his arms into the tree, the tree next to six sprang to life as it hit him with a branch, Seth glared at them, they couldn't see him, but he could see them.
-
Six tumbled down as the tree impacted his armor, it wasn't a lethal blow but it would leave painful bruising. Chuck spun around and slashed the tree with a burning tree branch, smiling to himself as it recoiled backwards in pain, trying feebly to extinguish itself.
"You alright Six?" he asked, hoisting the trooper up.
"Good to go chief" was the reply
"Nature boy upgraded, keep your distance from the living trees now, if he can make them hit us i dont want to know what he can do with a horde of em, keep feeding the fire and stay with me!"
Delta looked around and saw a glimpse of a shoe in a tree.
"Target Marked!" he shouted and the three troops opened fire with their Ak-74s in where they saw the shoe, and hopefully sain.
-
the woman ran silently through the trees, once the fire was in sight she pulled out a small fan, barely 5cm long folded. the skin right down her arm rippled milliseconds before the fan 'grew' to over 5foot long, she spun in midair, opening the fan and sending a shock wave of air which put out most of that fire then and there. max stood in shook behind her watching her put out the rest of that fire. the older lizard turned with a satisfied grin, only to see something that turned it into a shocked, disbelieving stare, then into a tear filled embrace as the two grabbed each other in an affectionate hug. "max?" "mum!"
-
Shockwave or no shockwave, the fire is restarted by the soldiers with their still burning torches and the blaze continues. Time to run from three armored people who can restart fire.
-
Emily ran after Seth. the sound of the roaring fire, the smell of smoke...she held her arm over her nose and mouth "SETH!!" she called. she had to be careful where she stepped. leaning against a tree, she began to cough. she began to look around for someone...anyone. she saw the three with blow torches. she wanted to reach them, she couldn't though, the smoke was too much...everything was too much. she was suffocating, coughing. untill she blacked out....
why did I go out there? she asked
because Seth is your friend, he cares about you..he was your first friend to ever understand you Emily...
The formula will fully activate when you experience certian death...
the word death repeated in her mind until she woke up again, she had only been out for a couple of seconds, but something was not right, her eyes were completely wide and wild, her green irises were now darker than usual. she charged through the smoke, she was epically silent....
-
the fire loudly restarted behind the two. "max go, I'll stop this." "no mum, I've already lost you once and I'm not going to lose you again. you'll thank me later but.......hishna flesk grend, slonte........" (hand of gods, sleep........) max said not letting his mother go, she silently feel asleep in his arms. he put her on his back and started running away from the fire, and back towards the others.
-
The bullets flew past seth, his rage was building up, one built almost hit him, forceing him to look down, he saw emily, "emily!" seth yelled, he couldn't take much more of this ((god modding lol)). He jumped down in front of her, "stop!" he yelled, putting his palms up infront of her.
-
Raph had enough of standing back. His reflexes raring to go, he ran to Seth and grabbed him. "We gotta go now!" He didn't bother to check if he heard him, he just ran with Seth away from the fire. Looking back, Emily was gone. He couldn't see through the smoke. All he knew was he had to get them away.
-
Suddenly a few of the soliders helmets blew like thier heads just exploded, one by one. It was a sniper. An expert one at that. Halfeb ran through the forest as a rather large bull and several males followed him in gurilla warfare clothing and armed to the teeth. Thier guns blasted and tore into the team. They may not have been experts, but they knew what they were doing. Halfeb looked at Chuck and stared him down. "Don't handle rejection well, do you chuck?He asked retorically.
-
max ran past halfeb and grabbed his hand "come with me." his voice slightly echoing and his eyes darker than normal. "I'll explain her later."
-
(since no one reads the ooc anymore I'll say this, my clones are going to be important later so they wont die yet, and two, I THINK WHEN I WANT CHRONO TO DO SOMETHING YOU ALL TAKE THE CUE AND BE NICE PEOPLE AND GO RUN TO CHRONOS TROUPE! BUT I GUESS THAT ISNT GOING TO HAPPEN NO IS IT!? and since my power helps make Hafleb unlucky I guess i just made m soldiers not dying make sense)
Six and Delta stood back up, their helmets damaged slightly. Delta ran up, the sniper tagged into his HUD and blasted him apart with an undermounted shotgun, then tosses a few grenades. Six slung his arm out and the extend-able shield grew to shield himself from the oncoming bullets, he loaded an underslug grenade and aimed for the center mass of the oncoming hillbillies and either they were thrown into the air, dead from the explosion or wounded and scrambling for cover.
Chuck flexed and a small hole in his armor gauntlet opened up. "You think a few hillbillies could stop me?" He asked coldly, then he lunged and shoved his hand into Hafleb's face, quickly draining him of essence, then tossed him to the side, still alive.
"Let's see you survive me you daredevil! ISNT THAT WHAT YOU WANTED!? A CHALLENGE!?" he yelled as Hafleb hit the ground.
Suddenly a vibrating sound hit the ears of everyone, Blu and Mu were opening up with the minigun on the camp, indiscriminately strafing everything with machine gun fire.
Hopefully now they would lead them to the real resistance after a show of their real power.
(my warning to ALL of you, if you think to god mod me and instantly kill my squad, I can god mod tens times as hard. Don't complain about me god modding when you do so yourselves, I'm only responding in kind)
-
(siiiigh....*facepaw* okay...look, I am seriously getting sick of everyones complaining....sorry Chrono)
Anastasia and the man did not speak for several hours, in the end, the shadow figure spoke "do you know where you are?"
"under the white house smart one"
"nope.."
Wren received an urgent call. "sir, a community not to far away from based 37 has been attacked!"
"send team out there to investigate please"
Emily was calm again, but she felt so dizzy from the lack of air, she tried to find her way out of the smoke, fire, heat. until finally collapsed, but she continued on, the air was more clear, but still heavy. doing a weak army crawl.

Dear Readers and Players,
As of right now, I am officially ending this RP. due to arguments and extreme godmodding. there is no one to blame, but it is getting off track and chaotic. I am become frustrated with trying to involve everyone, because each one has their own idea. not that its a bad thing, but arguments have erupted and its too much for me to handle all at once. I hate to end it right in the middle, and I hope you understand.
With my Sincerest Apologies,
Emrelda
