Waking up in a small shack I get up and look around. Where am I? How did I get here? I think to myself as I realize I'm alone in the room. Upon getting up I quickly get back into the bed, a dizy spell causing me to fall over. Ugh why does my head hurt so bad? examining my hands I notice a white patch on my left forearm and think What went there, I get the feeling that it's realy important. I'm just gonna get a bit more rest before I leave, hopefully some one will know what happened, cause I sure don't. Laying back down the rest of the way I cover myself back up and go back to sleep.

trowa walks through the woods, scouting out the area for possible logging sites. she watched over her familys smithy and sense it was her day off, she had better get a head start on next weeks work, and that ment finding fule to keep the forges going, she shook her head and unslung her axe once she found a suitable tree, she looked around trying to determin the best way to bring down the tree. upon looking a ways to the left she came upon some type of cabin, it looked prety near abandon, no one had lived there for years, she walked up and saw there was no leaves and brush on the door step, someone had entered this place. with caution she tapped on the door.
-
Anton was half-asleep with a gear on his desk in front of him, when he heard a knocking on the front door. "Coming, two seconds." he siad quickly straightening his hair, as it got all scrambled from bed head, and opened the door to see a metal humanoid figure standing there. His jaw dropped, and he stepped back a little, falling over on his behind after taking a bad step over a chair, "What are you?" he cried, but not loudly or rudely. He had at first thought it was some kind of suit of armor, but he could see places where hydrolics and metal tubes left empty spaces where the person inside would be. He remainded on the floor, sitting up with his hands on the floor behind him.
-
trowa looked down at the human "i'm trowa titan, a mecha" she said proudly and laconicaly "i was wondring if i could cut down this tree for my familys smithe, titan works down the road a ways into town" she said stepping back and pointing to the tree in question, a large oak tree, about 40 feet up, tall, but almost dwarfed by the tall trees around it. the oak was on the edge of the meadow where the cabin was, if she was careful it would fall next to the cabin and she would take the wood back to power the forge for another week or 2. she looked curiously at the gear on the table, she didn't know what it was but she was almost drawn to it. she quickly shook her head and looked back at the human sitting on the ground.
-
Vosur ventured around in the darkness, his currently-green eyes were taking in as much light as possible as he could not see in color, he didn't understand why he couldn't see color. His own footsteps were heavy and metallic, not intending to be quiet as he ventured around. He barely knew about himself, just vague memories. "A... gear. Why always a gear?" he muttered to himself as he continued walking. He would often look down to his hands, seeing the large amount of fur on them. "Why do I look like this... who or what am I?"
-
"Uhh, sure, it's not my tree." Anton seemed in a panic, though Trowa seemed to be freindly, he didn't want to get on her bad side, "If you want anything else, take it, this isn't really my house. I live in the city, sort of." he quickly looked behind him, and stood up. Facing Trowa with a stern look on his face. "But you can't have that thing." he motioned towards the Metal Gear{[lol]} on his desk, "It's... dangerous."
-
"dangerious, how?" the mecha asked curiously swinging her axe down and leaning on the shaft. she looked aqt the gear and then at the human, she did have a few questions for this guy, but they really wern't her business, she did want to know about that gear, it seemed important. trowa looked at the little door on the opposite side of the shack. "do you know where that door leads" she asked the human, getting curious. but she stepped back and shook her head, she was out here on business after all.
-
Gizor sat alone by a lake in the woods staring at his reflection in the water, the creature staring at him was not who he really was, ever since he had found that gear, he had become...this, and even though this was accepted by many, he still felt like he should be doing something about it, he felt some anger towards the gear, which had assumed the form of a necklace around his neck, and continued to stare in the water
-
He went over to the gear and carefuly picked it up with a pair of heavy pincers, and placed it inside a crate made of two titanium boxes, on smaller than the other, with concrete filled in between them, and closed a heavy titanium/comcrete lid over the top and locked it with iron chains, a big padlock, and put it in a 200 lb safe inside his closet and locked that one, then locked the closet door. "I can't take the chance that the wrong hands, or any hands for that matter, get on that... thing. Not that I think you're the wrong hands, but like I said."
-
trowa without another word picked up her heavy axe as if it weighed nothing and walked over to the tree and started hacking at the base, cutting a notch in it on one side. she steadly hacked away at the tree stotic and laconic.
-
"In case you get lost, or need to find something, I made a map of the area." he put his finger at several points of interest, "These are the mountains, most of witch are full of mountain lions, wolves and bears. This is the dig site, if you really need to go there I'll have to come with you, because I set up traps to help scare away looters. Here is the lake, there is a boat house and a fishing store there if you want to go out and see the view and/or go fishing. There is the market, I make regular trips there for food and water. And the rest is pretty much just trees and wildlife, oh and the old ranger station is somewhere in here..." he sircled around an area in the woods with a pencil.
-
"i'm ok i live by here i know where to go" she said and finished hackng the tree, she pushed and it fell crashed to the ground 20 feet away from the cabin "timber" she said walking over and started hacking the tree up into furnace sised logs
-
"Well, you can cut down any trees on this property, if you want." This property was kinda small, but it did have about 5{[Including the one Trowa cut down]} trees ranging from 30 ft., to about 60 ft.. "I'll be around the area, this line going around is my patrol route," the line went from his cabin, past the dig site, through some woods, around the lake, back through some more trees, past the old ranger station, the market and petrol station, and back on the road to the cabin. "I'll be back in a couple hours." He started off on his patrol route, to the Dig Site.
-
trowa paused in her action to shake her head. she called up her friend to take over and bring the logs back. with that done she walked to the lake "u can cut doen any trees you want" she quoted "it's not even your property" she said as if she was talking to him "you even said so"
-
"Whatever, it's not my property, but it's not like anyone else lives here anymore... not after the dig dite incedent." he continued walking to the dig site, and when he got there his eyes welled up with tears, but they didn't run down before he wiped them away. "This place..." the site has beed abandoned for two years, the machinery is rusing, the wooden shacks are rotting away. "It's like a ghost town." he thought, as images of those who had touched those blasted gears transforming right before his eyes, and the others running away in shock, he looked inside the shaft, now boarded up and blocked off with large crates and wood beams in front of the opening. He didn't bother to check the shacks, because opening the doors on them would likely cause them to colapse from the water damage and wood eating insects. He looked away and began walking to the lake through about half a mile of trees, he had a hunting rifle strapped to his back, just in case any wild animals came around.
-
He continued on, just simply trying to find temporary shelter as something inside of him was telling him that he would need to do so. "Not much time." he started to mutter to himself over and over, eventually coming across a decently large cave. "Perfect." Venturing inside and finding a seat on a flattened stalagmite, he managed to close his eyes for a moment, only to reopen them as he could see various colors, but nothing seeming to be anything he could recognize. The more vivid colors seem to be coming from him and anything else that seemed warm at that moment. "What the...?!" he almost yelled out, trying to cover his now red-irised eyes. "What's going on?"
-
Anton made his way to the lake, though he told Trowa that he was on patrol, he only needed to go check out the dig site every day, he didn't need to go out to the rest of the area, it was sort of an excuse to get out every once in a while. He had first thought of throwing those things out into the lake, and they would sink down to the bottom, never to be founf for a long time, but he them thought of what they might do to the water, or the fish. He didn't want to take the chance that a lochness monster would come out of the lake and terrorise the townspeople, so he left them in the mine where they remain still. He sat there at the waters edge on a fallen log, "Why did we have to find those gears!?" he said, rather loudy, not realising his voice would carry over the lake and the mountains. He quickly stayed quiet, he would just think about it, but he always liked talking outloud, his thoughts have always been so loud over his own voicing thoughts{[???]} and he couldn't hear himself thinking... "I'll just stay here... for now. The lake view will get my mind off of things."
-
Gizor heard someone speaking and looked around the lake, he saw anton standing there. getting on all fours he crawled over slowly, not wanting to startle him, he got closer and then said finally "who are you?"
-
The bipedal white wolf stayed in the cave, every now and then seeing something different as he closed his eyes and reopened them... seeing colorless terrain, then vivid "heat" colors, then a very focused vision. He did not understand what was going on, but slowly and surely he was beginning to calm down, getting used to the cycling "vision" and hopefully gaining control of it.
-
"Huh?" Anton looked over at the chameleon, and his right eye twitched, as he always did when something he couldn't quite explain happened, "I... I'm Anton," he felt strange, as if he had seen the chameleon before... "I remember you, you were at the dig site!" Anton was a little exited, as all the other people at the dig site seemed to run away and never been seen again, he took a deep breath, "What happened to you?" He asked, though the question might have hurt his feelings, "No offense..." he said quietly, but still loud enough for him to hear.
-
trowa walked past the mines into the mountians, she had been tied to the smith for months, with her brother gone, she hadn't been able to be the kid she still was. upon comming to a bit of an incline she smiled and jumped down and slid on her feet down a 65* incline "woooo hoooo" she yelled sliding down the cliff face, she swerved to the left, going for a carving motion, but hit an unseen rock and went tumbling "ahhh" she instinctivly spread her arms and stopped rolling, but continued to slide down the mountian, she spread her hands and the spikes caught hold of the rocks and she stopped "ohhhh" she shighed and tried to climb back up but the rock cracked beneath her and she fell into a dark cave. she got up stiffly and looked around and switched her eyes to lowlight setting. she looked arround and saw a curious wolf with 2 tails sitting in the darkness. "hello?" she said curiously, she didn't know many creatures that would stay immersed in the dark like this wolf.
-
gizor was silent for a moment, he couldn't recognise the man who was talking to him. "the gear, i grabbed it and then..." he cut off suddenly and looked down.
-
Slowly gaining use of his senses, his sight slowly reverts to normal as his irises regained their blue hue, but a smell caught his attention. "I haven't eaten in a long time as it feels. Even a simple campfire meal would be better than starving." He licked at his lips in anticipation, then gets up and looks around before he ventured out of the cave, starting to follow the scent out of instinct.
-
"I wouldn't feel so bad about it... I mean, you're alive and well." He tried to cheer him up a little, but he didn't quite know what it was like to have such a thing happen to yourself.
-
"i guess it's not all bad, i do feel better....than i've ever felt before, it's just that it takes some getting used to" gizor replied, relaxing and looking anton over
-
"I guess it was a big shock for you, it was for the others... I never got your name. Mine is Anton, Anton Buren."
-
"my name is Gizor Delso, i know it's an odd name but i very much like it" he said. this anton person didnt seem to be a bad person
-
trowa looked as the bipedal wolf walked past her. "hey" she said running to keep up with the larger wolf
-
"Hmm, there was no mention of a 'Gizor Delso' in the work logs." Anton thought for a moment, but didn't want to seem like he was going into a thousand yard stare, "Gizor Delso? I like that name. It sounds like a name you'd hear in a medieval story." He looked back at the lake, and said, "You wanna come to my- uhh, this cabin I live in?" Anton remembered that it wasn't really his cabin, though the prevous 'owner' had been long gone.
-
gizor's stomach growled "is there food there?" he asked
-
He almost didn't respond if it weren't for the voice, only stopping to turn to the individual who spoke to him. "H-Hello." he said in a nervous manner, his nose still twitching as he was trying to follow a scent. It seemed to come from a cabin that was nearby, but he was not about to be rude to the individual who spoke to him... his stomach growling and instinct bearing down on him.
-
"Yeah, I got food and water there, there's a market close by too." Anton siad getting up and began walking back through the path leading back to the cabin... past the dig site.
-
trowa looked at the wolf she didn't think this through just like she didn't with the mountian surfing "umm i'm sorry" she said starting off pointing to the hole in the roof of the cave witch she fell through she looked at the wolf he seemed pecular, she walked up to him "i'm trowa titan" she said smiling to him, she heard his stomach grumble "you sound hungry, would you like some food" she offered to the large white wolf, it was hard for her because he was way up there.
-
gizor followed anton, his stomach growling with anticipation
-
Stretching, I get out of the bed I am in and stand. Much better my head didn't hurt that time grabbing my personal effects I walk out of the shack. Now to find the item I am missing. Lets see which way should I go. Heading for Antom's hut I set off, although I don't know the hut is there. I wonder why I didn't have any shoes, that is rather odd, and although I don't know why I feel like I'm being drawn in this direction.
-
Anton walked past the Dig Site, looking back,he stopped to think about what would have happened if he was the one, instead of Gizor, to grab the gear.
-
He nodded. "My name..." he paused for a moment, his memory still close to blank. "...is Vosur Aekira." He was more than hesitant on saying the name, almost as if he didn't even know it himself. "Yes, I would like some food please." he managed to get out before his nose started moving again, indicating he was sniffing the air.
-
trowa hid a smile "good to know ya vosur aekira" trowa said "come on" she said scanning the mountian side for the best way to go down. i wonder why he said his name like that trowa shook her head and continued her serch, she would love to surf down again, but she didn't want to seem immature to mr aekira and she didn't know if he would follow her, what person would jump off a mountian besides her. she would just ease her way down and cook up a quick meal in the woods, this guy seemed hungry, and she still had some day light, she was planning to take lunch lin the woods anyway.
-
He followed the person who he thought was a human inside of a mech suit, not fully understanding what was going on... but merely just trying to survive for now. Every now and then, he'd close his eyes and reopen them to a new vision, this not fazing him any bit now.
-
(o kay this be me last post for the day night guys)
trowa looked around, not finding any easy way down, she thought and thought. after a bit of thought she took out a coil of sturdy rope, used to haul the huge loads of logs back to the smithy. she took one end and tied it securly to a large boulder, and tossed the rest of it down the mountian face, there was enough for them to get down about a third of the way. "can you climb down ok" she asked turning to the very tall wolf, if he couldn't then she had a few back up ideas
-
"This is the place that all this stuff began... I wonder how things would have went if I was in your place, Gizor." He looked at his hand, then looked at Gizor's hand, he looked so diferent, but inside they were the same.
-
(ugh im tired ill post again tomorrow cya guys)
"im not sure" gizor replied still very hungry. he felt a sudden feeling of longing for things to be normal again, but quickly dismissed the thought.
-
Instinct drove him to do something he normally wouldn't do, he stepped forward and allowed the soles of his metallic legs to slide against the incline down the mountain face. At the end, he kicked off a rock and performed a forward flip to land next to Trowa. With a grin and both of his tails wagging, he looked up at the repelling line, then to Trowa. "Sorry. Faster suits me at the moment."
((My last post for the time being.))
-
"Maybe through some more research on these gear things, we can find a way to reverse the effect...." They continued to Antons cabin, when they went in Anton opened the mimi-fridge, with some pasta, steak, a pizza, some stuff to go in a salad and a big jug of water. "Sorry if this isn't what you expected, I usualy live by myself, so... we can get something else at the market, if you want."
{[Ok, my last post here for tonight, good night everyone I'll be here all day tomorrow!]}
{[(Slams the front door as I leave so hard the building falls on everyone else.)]}
{[lol]}
-
"no no no this is perfect" gizor said grabing some pizza and scarfing it down, and then sitting down by a wall, feeling satisfied
-
Stumbling forward, I move ever closer towards Anton's hut. The rocks in the ground causing me a twang of pain when I step on a sharp one, and yet I do not stop. The feeling that some part of me is in this direction growing stronger with each foot step. Ouch, I'm gonna regret this when I get where ever it is I'm going. Could be worse though, at least I have some clothes.
-
"So, where have you been in the last two years?"
-
"i've been around, i have a small hut out somewhere over that way" he said gesturing in the direction of the lake "i live alone now, i prefer it that way."
-
"Same here, I have been in this little shack cabin for the past two years, alone." Anton opened the closet door to show a big heavy safe, he punched in the code to unlock it and the door slowly swings open. There was a metal box inside it, with chains wraped around it and a thick pad lock holding them to the box, he pulled out a big Skeleton key and the cains fell on the floor with the lock. "I'm going to find a way to crack this thing open, and find a way to return everyone to..." he took a long look at Gizor, who had said before that he had felt better than ever, maybe that meant he enjoyed being a Chameleon more than being Human? "If they want to go back, I mean." Anton returned his eyes to the beat up looking metal box, and opened it, inside was a Metal Gear{[lol]}. Anton took a pair of metal pincers and removed the gear from the box and set it on the coffee table.
-
luke walked towards antons hut and started pawing at the door in his wolf form to complete his illusion he was wimpering as if in desperate need of shelter
-
"What was that?" anton looked out the peep hole, and saw nobody there, so he went ahead and opened the door and there was a wolf clawing on the door, whimpering. "Dangit, I was just about to eat that steak in the fridge."
-
If gizor had hair it would be standing up now. he did not get along well with most of the wolves here, he made himself less visible and went to a corner
-
I really should rest for the night, but I get the feeling that if I do something bad will happen, and I'll have to wait longer to get what ever it is that is drawing me in this direction. As I continue to stumble forward the feeling gets stronger as Anton pulls the drive out of the safe. Whoa, the feeling is getting stronger. Suddenly my feet don't feel so tender as my distance from the drive decreases and it starts to affect my body. What ever is drawing me must be the cause to that change, and it feels good. Reveling in the sudden lack of pain I press onward with renewed vigor, and stop as I see Anton open the door, and I see the 'gear' upon the table and realize that is what I am missing.
-
luke walked in calmly and went to a corner of the room heavy in shadows suddenly his form distorted and he stood on two legs his front legs became arms and his legs and feet became more defined he then walked out of the corner he wore pirate clothes and was unarmed he then said in a freindly voice "nice place ya got here"
-
gizor relaxed and emerged from hiding "hello who are you?" he asked
-
((Uhhhh luke you can't use your powers if you have 'Lost' for hero status))
-
((sorry that was my mistake im actually active i just forgot to change that one))
"ah yes me i am luke a rare item hunter" luke spoke up i was in the area and i saw the hero drive you had
-
"This days just get's stranger by the minute. My name's Anton Buren." Anton closed the door, "A rare item hunter, huh? I guess you want that gear? Well, you can have it, if you can tell me what it's for."
-
"ah yes the hero gear its an item of great power which brings out abilitys in its destined user for example my hero gear lets me shapeshift as you just saw and give me the aim of an eagle" luke walked over to anton "but that isnt why im here i dont want this one im merely here to protect it from the wrong hands"
-
"So, you're not here to take it, but to protect it." Anton looked at the hero gear, then back a Luke. "I don't remember you working at the Dig site."
-
"thats because i didnt i saw you bring it here so i made a camp near by i waited until you were in and then posing as a harmless wolf i just walked in"luke said smugly he then paused and continued "speaking of protecting it i need to go get a couple of weapons"
((what weapons we got here?))
-
{[Anton means that he didn't remember Luke at the dig site two years ago, when the Hero Drives were found.]}
"Not many weapons, just this hunting rifle, bolt action, and a Glock 20."
-
"ummmm i have this spear i made" gizor said holding it up
-
"that wont be enough ill go collect some weapons from my camp" at this luke morphed back into his wolf form and made for the door and sat there obidiently waiting for it to be opened
-
"Right." Anton opened the door, and closed it when Luke left. "So, how does he change from Wolf to Human-ish Wolf?" Anton asked Gizor, thinking maybe that this Hero Drive could let you change from what you were before to what the Hero Drive changed you into. "That must mean that he wasn't Human in the first place... do you think we can trust a Wolf?"
-
luke ran through the trees joyfully towards his campand as he arrived he morphed back to his anthro form he collected three mg36's ,two psg1's, one SA80 and three glocks he then loaded them into a wolf sized saddle bag (two rifle pouches 3 rifles in each and 3 pistol holsters) he then stood on all four strapped it onto himself morphed into his wolf form and ran back to anton's hut the whole trip took him about 15 minuets he then scratched on the door again
-
Anton heard the scratching on the door, "Damn that was a fast trip." he opened the door and saw Luke in Wolf form with a bunch of guns.
-
luke morphed bach into his anthro form and unstrapped the saddle bag he then started unloading it while saying "ok lets see 3 mg36's http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh246/lukeweedon2/333a.png
two psg1 snipers http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh246/lukeweedon2/PSG1.jpg

If larger than 600 pixels in either width or height, leave as link.
Vosur
-
"Not that I'm upsat about it, but do we need all these guns to defend one Hero Drive?" Anton took one beretta and put it in a side holster. He took the clip from one of the other Berettas and used that as more ammo, with some extra ammo from his Glock 20. and put those in an ammo holder on his hip.
-
gizor eyed the weapons "im not much of a gun person, ill just keep improving my spear" he said and began looking for something
-
Walking up to the door I knock. I need that item, I don't know why but I do.
-
"More people? Let's throw a party!" Anton opened the door "Bring a friend with you?" he asked Kora,
-
"Sorry to intrude but that item on the desk I think it belongs to me." I say without stepping into the house, then cocking my head to one side I ask "And what do you mean by party?"
-
"It's nothing, there's no party." Anton looked back at the Hero Drive, then Kora. "What if it isn't yours?"
-
"I don't think thats the case, its hard to explain but I know its mine." I say getting a bit irked at being so close yet so far away.
-
gizor studied the new arrival, "perhaps you could explain how you know?" gizor asked, confused about the statement
-
"Let me ask you this, have you ever felt drawn to something with out even knowing what it looks like or why you are drawn to it or even where it is you just randomly know where to go? Other than that I can't realy remember much." I reply still a bit irked as I am still standing outside.
-
"Ok, come inside." Anton stood in the doorway for a few seconds to see if anyone else was out there.... nobody. He closed the door and turned around. "What in the world is going on? All of this stuff happened about two years ago, why is everything reacting to them now?" Anton picked up the Hero Drive with the pincers and handed it over to Kora, "It seems like this thing has attracted all of us to itself... why?"
-
Reaching out to grab the gear I reply "Who knows." Upon contacting the drive a flash of light is released. After my eyes adjust I realize I'm not human any more and my memories have been returned. "Anton, is that you?" I ask as I suddenly recongnize him. (FYI I now look like my fursona)
-
trowa looked up at the rope and back at the wolf i like this guy she smiled and pulled the rope back down, she spun it up and tied it back in place on her harness and looked back at the wolf, "you made that jump" she said smiling "well race ya to the bottom" she smiled joyfully and jumped away from the ledge and her feet hit the rock, she bent her knees and tried to stay balenced and she slid down the mountian "woo hoo"
(sorry for not being on i lost power, we still don't have any i'm stealing wi fy at my mom's fiend's house we had no heat today)
-
He closed his eyes as the light filled the room, for a brief moment. He opened his eyes to see Kora changed into an anthro Ferret. "I'm as Anton as Anton will ever be!"
-
"Long time no see, don't tell me you've stayed here since the incident?" I ask wondering why he is still in this area.
-
He folded his ears back to lessen the rushing-wind effect on himself as he fired off his dash-thrusters in the soles of his mechanical legs in pursuit. When he landed on soft soil, he steadied himself on it, almost "surfing" on it as he went down. Every now and then he'd have to kick off to avoid hitting into rocks, but when in mid-air, he would fire the dash-thrusters to force himself to go down and then land back on his feet after a forward somersault. ((Going to have to call it a night with this.))
-
"I have..."
-
(aww man just cause i get back on :th_PyongLlora: oh well see ya vosur)
trowa smiled and rolled as she landed on the soft soil of the ground seeing that the wolf beat her down she laughed and held out her hand "good race vosur" she said shaking his hand and walking into the woods, she left her gear by the tree, her brother had probably brought all the wood back, she would find some extra wood and make a quick fire and cook up a quick meal. "what do ya want to eat vosur" she asked looking back and up at the very tall wolf.
-
"Why?" I ask, quite puzzled.
-
((Nevermind. Thought I was going to be offline for a long time))
He stopped himself without too much of a problem, shaking Trowa's hand in return and then following her, closing his eyes and reopening them. His now-red irises would normally make someone think he was mad, but his expression was more towards playful, though somewhat still confused about himself. "Been a long time since I had that much fun." he spoke quietly to himself before he replied to her. "Oh, sorry... something with a lot of meat please. Elk, or caribou."
-
"I... I don't know. I felt like I had to stay here." Anton seemed ashamed, like he had wasted two years of his life doing nothing.
-
"It's okay old friend, if you hadn't stayed here I still wouldn't be able to remember anything. No offense but why didn't you take a drive, it feels good, like this is the way it is supposed to be." I reply
-
gizor stood quietly by, munching on more food and watching the two friends talk
-
"To be honest, I don't know why I didn't." he looked around for the Drive, but it seemed to be gone. "Hey... where is it?"
-
((cool thanks man))
trowa smiled "ok then" and continued walking tward the fallen tree and cabin, she looked back at his eyes and stopped dead looking into the white wolf's eyes they were red. she stared and shook her head "i'm sorry are you ok" she asked avoiding his eyes, she had never seen that before outside of the asylim.
-
He looked to the direction in which he heard Trowa's voice, but not exactly seeing a human-like figure due to the mech having a different IR pattern than humans. "Whoa!" he yelled as he fell backwards, landing on his butt. His fall made him close his eyes again, and when he reopened them, his irises were now green. "I take it you're not human either?" he said as he rose to his feet, now able to see physical silouettes normally seen in low-light vision.
-
"wow" trowa said seeing his eyes change and fell backward on her butt "ya i'm a mecha but did ure eyes just change again" she said rubbing her eyes looking up at the now green eyed wolf, she shook her head, "i'm guessing your not a normal wolf" she said looking at his eyes and at the 2 tails, she had thought nothing of the 2 tails, and his feet, well she walked like that anybody with boots like the ones she made might look like that.
-
"It's right here." I say lifting my left arm and pointing to the watch. "The best thing about the drives is that they change into an easily carried form, but on the down side when you 'lose' one you loose all memory of ever haveing it, like I had before I got mine back." I add on. "Quite marvelous little devices but also very dangerous in the wrong hands."
-
gizor perked up at this "does that mean, if someone were to lose their device, would they change to their original form as well ?" he asked
-
"I'm not a normal wolf, that's right." He blinked, but this time his eyes didn't change. "As for my eyes, I can see different things at different times, but I don't know if they change colors." He shrugs and reaches down to help Trowa to her feet. "I don't really understand it, but it happened about a month ago."
-
"Yes but at the price it comes I wouldn't suggest it." I reply.
-
trowa took the offered hand and used it to help her self up, "wow" was all she could say at first "what happened? are you ok" she asked giving her full attention to her second question and she looked around and found a nice patch of moss beneath a tree "here sit down" she said motioning to the rock, trying to pull the large wolf over to sit down. her mind going a mile a minute
-
"I'm not really sure... I can't remember too much from that day, or even too much of anything else." He sat down next to her, trying to remember to what happened. "For the past two month's, I've just been trying to survive. I haven't been trying to figure that out since I've just been not trying to think."
((Post traumatic stress syndrome. Common symptom can be temporary memory loss in more severe cases))
-
((Vosur you only lose your memory it you lose the drive no time else))
-
"One thing has been on my mind, is having the Hero Drive better than being Human? I don't want to end up regreting it when there's no turning back." The question wasn't really pointed at a specific person, but anyone could give a thought on it. Anton sat down, apearently trying to think of something.
-
"Being like this is what you make of it, but on the bight side no matter what you become, you don't have to buy shoes any more, or coats in some cases." I say grinning and sitting in a chair.
-
"I'll think about this." Anton walked to the door, placing his hand on the deadbolt lock and unlocking it. "I'll be at the lake." Anton has left the building, and now he walkes through the woods, rather than take the path around past the trees. This way was shorter, faster and not limited to a set path.
{[Anyone can talk Anton into it, or out of it, or just talk to him if they want.]}
-
((Continuing on)) Speaking to Trowa, but yet looking down at the ground. "One of the only things I remember is seeing what looked like a cog, then sharp pains in my legs, then just suddenly running through the forest with these new legs. I still don't understand what it all means though."
-
Anton is going to need some time to choose I think to myself without moveing He is the only one that can make this choice so he's gonna need some space
-
When Anton got to the lake he sat on the same fallen tree that he met Gizor by, he sat down and thought about his new friends. "They all seem to like it, and I don't see why I shouldn't. I mean, whatever I become it seems I would be able to do anything a Human can, plus more. Why not? I have been alone for the past two years, and I'll continue to be alone if I don't take the Hero Drive." He skipped a couple stones across the lake, and pondered at this decision. This was a decision that would change his life, forever.
-
luke put his saddle bag back on loaded up the SA80 one mg36 and one berreta morphed into his wolf form and went to find anton when he found him he sat down next to him silently still in his wolf form like a sign to him1
1 or so he thought who knows what anton made of it
-
At first, Anton didn't notice Luke sit next to him, but he turned his head and saw him "Luke?" he was't sure, because there were a lot of Wolves around these parts, so it could have been just another Wolf.
-
"idk either" she said it seemed like it should ring a bell but she couldn't place it, she shook her head "it'll come to me. can u start a fire vosur, i'll go get some food?" she said taking a pouch off of her harness, it contained flint, steel, tinder, and matches. she looked around and saw plenty of wood on the ground. she held out the pouch to her new friend. cog's changing, why does this seem familar? she asked her self, it seemed like it was important but she couldn't grasp it.
-
gizor had been sitting there the whole time and had said nothing, why would he, it wasn't his place, anton would do what anton would do, and that's all there was to it, gizor thought, and he lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
-
Finding the flint and steel without too much of a problem, then setting up the tinder, kindling, and then the base for the fire, he was then ready to start it. Grasping the flint and steel, his hands felt a bit awkward in holding them since the way he had to hold them was completely unfamilar to himself before he struck the steel against the flint to direct a spark into the tinder. "Man, I remember how to do this and it feels like I've done this before... but why does it feel like I don't even have my own hands?"
-
Suddenly snapping my head up I say "Some one else is out there." upon feeling the fire Vosar is making take root into the wood. ((read my char profile, it makes sense that he would know of a new fire in the area))
-
Anton sat up and looked at Luke, "I've made my Decision, I'm going to activate the Hero Drive." he made his way back through the woods and to his cabin, there he looked around, seeing only Gizor and Kora were there. "Got a spare Hero Drive?"
-
"ok i'll be right back vosur" she said starting off into the woods, she unsheathed her sword and climbed up into a tree, she saw another tall tree a distance away, she looked at it and jumped. she lande3d in the next tree, and looked around, sighting a buck a ways away she hopped to the next tree, and then took out her cyber pistol, she sighted it on the buck, but before she fired she saw the deer turn so he wasn't broad side, she put the pistol back with a sigh and took out her axe again, she hopped to the next tree, but a branch snapped and tumbled down, the deer brought his head up in a flash as trowa frose in the tree. after a few minuted the deer went back to eating the grass, she was close enough to jump it, she judged the angel and distance and took out her sword, and took a deep breath and jumped forward out of the tree, the buck freaked out as a sharp pain was found in between his shoulder blades, but he only felt the pain for a few seconds before he collapsed, dead. trowa got off the deer, she had sighted in perfectly, the sword had entered his heart as soon as she landed, causeing bleed out for a few seconds. minimal suffering. she quickly got out her knife and gutted the deer, also she skinned it and sawed off the antlers, "8 pointer" she muttered, she washed the hide and meat in the freezing stream, and bundled them up and tied them to her harness. she looked back at the carcass and bowed respectfully to it, thanking it for the meal and skin snd bowed again and started off back to camp.
(if this is too discriptive or anything tell me i apoligise if it was)
-
{[No no, I think it's OK, as long as you didn't say "and the blood and the guts and the bones splashed all over" or something like that.]}
-
luke wandered back to the hut2. he had done his bit mainly out of curiosity but when he reached the hut he smelt some thing he morphed back to his anthro form and ran inside "we've got company he said loading his SA80"
-
"I've already established that." I reply calmly "But I don't think who ever is out there is here to attack us, otherwise the wouldn't have started a fire, and that is how I shall find them." I say getting up. "Also we will need to get you a drive in the morning Anton." Heading out of the cabin I walk straight toward Vosur's fire.
-
"no some one else ,hiding ,hostile ,not freindly theyre in the trees"luke said slightly panicking now
-
Sitting down by the fire, he closed this eyes... his hearing now making everything sound closer to himself. He heard every detail of the hunt, even a few footsteps and a few words, though he could not tell exactly who it was coming from or how close they were. Out of reaction, his eyes opened with red-irises, the flames being almost too much, so he had to turn away from it to readjust his eyes. "Drive? Like a car? No... 'need to get you a drive'." he questioned to himself as he scanned the area with his eyes, only picking up smaller mammals and birds in the trees. ((Indicating eye-color by colored text))
-
Anton grabbed a Glock 20, his weapon of choice, and a Beretta as a secondary weapon. "So we're just gonna shoot at someone for starting a campfire?" he said walking out of the cabin with Kora and Luke, "Gizor, are you coming?"
-
"I said nothing about harming any one, I'm just going to see who it is." I reply as I keep walking getting closer with every step
-
"im gonna scout it out but that smell... its almost...unnatural
-
"Alright, but just in case we see some action, I'll be there to give support." he put the gun away in a locking holster hanging off from the right side of his waist, and moved on forward in the general direction that Kora was walking.
-
trowa walked back to camp and smiled at vosur "hey man u ok" she asked taking a plate of armor off her back and putting a few stones around the fire and set the plate on top of the stones, she unwrapped the meat and took out a chunk and put it on the plate, she took another pouch off her harness and took out 3 bottles, she opened the largest and poured some salt on the meat, making it sizzle, she threw on some other spices flavoring the meat. "how would you like ure venison steak cooked" she asked she liked her's medium rare. she sat with her back to the large tree next to vosur watching th emeat cook
-
He still looked around, not making eye-contact with Trowa as he replied. "Well, I haven't had cooked food in 2 months... so any way you prefer, I'll accept." His eyes seem to lock on an area of movement, eyes closing and reopening to green irises. "I think this fire of ours may've brought some unwanted attention." he noted as he could see silouettes of a few human-like figures in the low light.
-
"i think we can take them" she said cooking the meat while throwing on another chunk and seasoning it also. she popped the cyber pistol out and loosed the sword in her sheath. she knew the layout of the land, "this is my fire, my food, from my kill, the wods belong to nobody where we are, the wood belongs to nobody, we're ok as the law goes, and there hasn't been any bandit sitings in weeks" she said keeping her gun out, but conceilled. she wasn't worried, but company made her nervous.
-
"I have a bad feeling about this." Anton held his hand onto the handle of his pistol, but didn't take it out of it's holster. "Especially how I can't see anything in the dark but shadows."
-
"Once in my life-time, I'd like to see no fighting if it doesn't call for it." He looked to Trowa when he heard the movement of her readying her weapons. He quietly stood up and looked in the direction that he saw the people.
-
"u think i like to fight" she asked, she hated to needlessly fight, if there was a reason sure but this wasn't in her eyes "i hate fighting, but if they fire, there's no way i'm gonna lay down and let them keep fireing without me doing anything" she looked at vosur and sighed she refolded her cyber gun, and stored it in her arm, and turned the meat it was almost done. she stood up and walked next to vosur "hello who goes there?" she asked the night
-
Anton could hear her voice through the trees, at an unknown distance away from her. "Trowa? Is that you?" he asked saying in her direction, he could see the light from the fire, locking his pistol into the holster so nobody can take it from him, and so he's not waving a gun around when he gets there. He started walking to the fireplace, and saw two shadow figures standing around the fire, one that looked like Trowa and another who he had not met before, a Wolf with big metal boots and two tails, his eyes were a bright green color, "Don't shoot, I'm a friend."
-
(yo man stop bumping thease posts, i mean it's kinda annoying, if u have to change something just edit it, don't delete ure post and put basically the same thing, if u want us to post send us a reminder instead of deleteing and reposting to get our attention- i know i'm not a mod and have no right to tell u what to do, but i'm asking please stop)
-
He slow-blinked, his eyes back to blue when they opened, now able to see a color image of the person who addressed them. "You know them Trowa?" he simply glanced to her when he spoke to her. "And now that I think about it, I'll have to arm myself if I can get the chance."
-
trowa frowned, this was the guy who didn't own the cabin, but lives there and acted like he owned the land. she rather didn't like the fellow, but she did know him. "ya he's the guy who's living in the abandon cabin up a ways south from the mines" she said to vosur. "can i help you?" she asked thew human and looking back she saw a ferret and a wolf. she quelled the urge to put a metal hand on her sword.
-
"Guys, we're all friends, let's not do anything we will all regret." Anton put his hands where they can easily be seen from any angle, "Can you trust me?"
-
gizor was sitting in the trees, cloaked and hopefully unnoticed, he would spectate for now, just in case the two tailed wolf and the mech decided to attack.
(ok im caught up now lol)
-
Standing in Anton's shadow so that I remain unseen I quickly note that two people are around the fire. Suddenly stepping out from around Anton I quickly say "Shoot and it will be the last thing either of you two do, that fire between you can be vary dangerous." The last word being accentuated with a small burst in the fire. "Also shooting at some one unarmed would make you no better than a bandit."
-
Anton took a step back when the fire bursted, still waiting for someone to do or say something.
-
"Indeed it would." making it noticible that he was unarmed, his hands at his own shoulder level (head level for anyone 6'0 and under). "Self-defense does not always require a weapon, but it does help to have one. Even the very elements can be one's defense." He just simply taps his foot in impatience after making that remark, waiting for the situation to calm.
-
Anton slowly lowered his arms, "Looks like I'm the only one who hasn't activated my Hero Drive, yet." he sat down on a stump.
-
luke was sitting in a seperate tree than gizor in his anthro form and (suprise suprise) the branch wasnt too strong and it snapped luke gave a loud yell before him and the branch3 came crashing down to the ground. he slowly got up muttering "im never climbing trees again" he then took the birdnest off of his head and morphed into his wolf form in case he needed to run
3 plus his weapons and a small birds nest that was next to him but landed on his head
-
"Howdy, nice of you to *drop* by." Anton said jokingly, though he kept a straight face, and didn't laugh.
-
Unable to controll myself I fall to the ground rolling in laughter at the comical look of luke with a bird's nest on his head and gasp out "Ow *laughter* hurts to *more laughter* breath *even more laughter*"
-
knowing that being a wolf didnt disguise who he was luke morphed back to his anthro form walked up to kora and put the birds nest on his head "now how funny is it?" he said going back to retreive his weapons
-
Not having found the whole situation funny due to having a weapon pointed at him and thn threatened by someone who could manipulate fire, he just shrugs and folds his arms in front of himself. Closing and reopening his eyes to red-irises again, he simply looked about to see if there was someone else in the area, only picking up heat signatures from smaller animals that were fleeing the campfire area. "So, are you going to let us eat in peace?" he remarked in a snide fashion.
-
Suddenly getting serious I stand up "Depends. Are you here to steal from the mine?" I ask with a serious yet comical look due to the birds nest perched upon my head.
-
trowa glared "this is our fire, we did nothing to provoke you, u came and searched out us, we are both not holding any weapons at yopu, thats what you are doing" she said her hands in her poekets "we were about to eat, u storm in and threaten us with weapons, we wern't doing any harm at all" she >:| said glaring at the ferret, her hands clenching into fists in her pocketes and the rudeness of it "your no better then bandits threatening us and barging in as if we did stuff wrong"
-
as soon as gizor heard the word 'eat' he jumped down from his branch. "so i hear there's some food around here eh??" he said looking around hungrily
-
"You say you are unarmed yet I see two weapons on you, a sword and a pistol. I might not be an engineer but I'm prety sure your mech suit gives you a large boost to streangth so even your fists could be classafied as weapons. Also I didn't threaten you I just put emphasis on how dangerous a fire could be to those around it. Here let me put it to you like this, if I had wanted to hurt you I would have stayed a ways back and burnt you both to a cinder with your own fire, seeing as I didn't and didn't even attempt to hurt you, you are over reacting. This area is well known for bandit attacks so I'll put it to you like this, we thought you were bandits, you thought we were bandits. Seeing as neither of our groups are bandits lets stop bickering and just agree to disagree for the time being. That said I'm going to get some fish so their is some more balance in the meal." I say before quickly climbing a tree to put the birds nest back in a high place before heading off to the lake with only my clothes, gear, and wits to catch a fish I can probably put my tail gently on the surface like a fly and use my tail as a lure it might sting but I realy could use a good fish right now
-
(i said bandits havn't been seen in weeks, and i don't have a pisyol showing)
"oi u threatened us, u poped fire at us i saw that as a threat, also, this is our dinner, please leave, sense u have no other business here" trowa said, sides she would never not have her swords on her,"we wern't doing anything wrong" trowa said u had to be stupid or hard to walk around in the world with out a weapon anyway, the point was she didn't have them out and ready. "i didn't think u were bandits i thought you were some ppl in the woods, there havn't been bandit sighting in weeks" she said
-
(just because bandits haven't been seen recently doesn't mean they aren't there and I'm by the lake btw lol)
-
(i was talking to betrayer)
-
(makes sense but I said some of the stuff lol thats the thing)
-
(hey he was there to hear it)
-
"i have some business here" gizor piped up, eyeing the venison
-
"Sir, I'm the one who is unarmed." He impatiently looked about, arms still folded. "Now that you know why we're here, is there any way we can enjoy our hunt in peace?" He blinked again, going blue-irised. "I'd be careful about touching that, it's hot."
-
Heading back to the fire with multiple drum in my hands I think to my self Well that worked better than expected, and I didn't loose any blood either.
-
"please leave" she said to the human, chmealion, wolf and anybody else in the woods with them "leave us alone, we got this food, and this fire, u can get your own food and own fire, please, i'm asking nicly" she said crossing her arms over her chest, standing her ground, smelling the meat sizzling behind her over the fire
-
"darn it" gizor said and began to walk away from them, his stomach growling as usual.
-
Setting down the fish on a flat rock I grab the branch that luke broke and snap it into smaller parts for a fire, then using my powers I take some of the other fire and start ours then put that small part back "There I have my own food and fire" I say pulling a well conceled dager, the same color as my fur off my ankle and start cleaning the fish for cooking on a spit. After I finish I clean the blade off in the grass then strap the knife onto my tail before getting the fish started. "Chamelion, help yourself I have plenty of fish just tell me your name first." (btw my char is now an otter/ferret hybrid)
-
trowa shook her head and turned back to her fire he's just doing that to annoy me, well i can ignor him, idc how childish he or any of the others think that is, she thought cooking up the meat fast, she took off another small segmet of armor, and thrust it in the fire for a few seconds, then took it out and shook it out, then dropped one of the steaks on it, then she picked up the other piece of metal and backed away, she passed the first plate with the bigger chunk of meat on it to vosur, the browned meat was medium rare, slightly red on the inside but brown and jucy on the outside, the spices and juices sizzling on the heated plate. "enjoy" she said holding out one plate to vosur. then frowned, she did feel bad about the others not having food, aside from the ferret and human. but the wolf and che=mealion didn't do anything to her. she let the feeling pass, thinking on dinner
-
"my name is gizor delso, but just call me gizor" he said, as he bounded over to where the food was, "i thank you for the food ahhhhh what was your name again?"
-
luke morphed back into his wolf form and tryed to say "we're sorry for disturbing you" but it came out as "woof woof woof woof howl wimper" and he ran off
-
"The names Kora, Kora Torrent, and it is a pleasure to make your aquantance Gizor." I say handing him one of the now cooked fish. "I hope you don't mind picking out the bones, kinda hard to rotiserie a fillet."
-
"food is food" gizor relied "no sense being picky about it eh?" he said and began to wolf down the fish, crunching bones along the way
-
Shuddering slightly I set into the fish, speaking through a mouth full of fish I say "Mmmmmm came out good." As I finish my fish I use one of the bones as a toothpick as I pat my stomach "Ooooh that was filling." Suddenly yawning my sharp teeth are shown "Sorry 'bout that, it's a bit late and I'm full. So any one know of a good place to sleep for the night?"
-
{[The weather was hellish, we were late to get here on time and dinner is waiting. This will be a placeholder for my next post.]}
Anton kindly walked away from Voser and Trowa, and sat down next to Kora and Gizor, "Well that was a pleasant experience." hearing Kora asking about a place to sleep, "How about we camp out for the night, if you don't mind, of course. I mean I have no problem with you guys staying over at my place." He said kindly, as to not sound rude to his friends.
-
"That works for me." I say laying back and moving my tail to use as a pillow before quickly drifting off to sleep.
(Post as you will until the next 'day' starts lol I'll stay out till then.)
-
"I wish I could fall asleep that fast." Anton layed on the soil, looking up at the sky. "Tomorrow is gonna be a big day... It'll be alot better than being hermit living in some old cabin, that's for sure. Just hope I don't turn into a cockroach, blech!" he laughed a little, but quiet enough so he wouldn't wake up Kora,
-
"ill keep a watch on the mine" luke said walking towards the mine
-
gizor happily curled up and went to sleep, all full of food
-
{[Next day comes when Kora says it's alright for the time to change, I don't wanna go like "Later in the next day..." when Trowa and Vosur or whoever wanted to say something feel like WTF we didn't say or do anything and he just skipped a night!]}
"Watch out for traps, they're everywhere." he said to Luke, and after a short moment he went to sleep.
-
((My thoughts exactly))
-
((I think Trowa was waiting on me and I was waiting on her.))
He quietly accepted the food and began to eat, his gauntlet-gloves preventing the pads of his hand-like paws from being burned while he held the plate to eat the meat. It was not long before he finished and stood up, venturing to a nearby river to clean the armor plate before he returned it to Trowa. "Thank you." he almost murmured, again nodding quietly and finding a soft spot to sleep since his stomach was full.
-
(yep i was waiting for ya, u hit the nail on the head that time vosur)
trowa ate her meat and washed her plate also,then she bolted both of them back on "welcome" she said quietly tired, she sent a message home, via her comm link and banked the fire, and grabbed a spot under the tree with plenty of moss for a bed, she layed down and looked up at the stars through the branches, she wondered about home and friends. she just couldn't seem to get them out of her head thease days.
-
As the first on asleep I was also the first one to wake, getting up I walk over to the lake and catch a few fish to cook for breakfast. Quickly cleaning them I restart the fire and cook them Wonder who will be up next.
-
After Anton fell asleep, he had a dream...
In the dream it showed from his eyes what was happening, he sat up and rubbed his eyes, he opened his eyes to find that morning had come, and Gizor and Kora were still sleeping. He looked over to where the campfire should have been, there were burnt ashes and blackened pieces of wood scattered where it was last night, as if it had been put out earlier that night. There was a brown leather backpack lying next to where the campfire was, it had big black letters written on it, reading "For Anton," he looked over at Kora, who was sound asleep, and to Gizor, who was aslo in a deep sleep. He checked inside the bag, witch was wide open on top, and inside was one Hero Drive. He was about to remove it from the bag when a man in black and a man in white, both closely resembling Anton. The black Anton spoke up first, seeming to cut off the white Anton as he was about to speak, "Don't touch that drive! It's Evil!" he commanded, as the real Anton jumped back away from the bag, "Kora, Gizor! Wake up!" Anton cried, as the two versions of himself began to speak at the same time, "They cannot hear you." and they glared at eachother, then the white one said "And why do you say that, brother?" he said to the other Anton, "Can't you see what this 'Hero Drive' has done to his friends? Look at them!" and he motioned to Gizor and Kora, "They seem happy with what they are, in fact they are happier than they were whne they were Human." the white suited Anton seemed to be the optomist side of himself, and the black suited Anton was the pecemist side of himself. "You guys aren't real, you're just like the angel and the devil guys who come up on people's shoulders. I'm going with whitey on this one." Anton said as he came closer to the Hero Drive, then the white Anton spoke, "See? He has made his desicion." "You only say that because he has taken your side!" the Anton in blck pointed at the real Anton, and tossed the Hero Drive into his hands. "You have lost!" he shouted, and then they both faded away, and a bright light engulfed Antons vision. When he could see again, he pushed himself on his feet, seeing his hands where not like any hands he has seen, they were like hairy twigs, and his feet were the same, he became lightheaded, searching for something to see simself in, and a full body mirror seemingly appeared out of nowhere. He seemed a bit reluctant to look into his reflection, but when he did he saw a horribly mutated insect like creature, like a man mixed with a bug, and when he screamed only an insectoid screech came out from between the pincers of his new face. He woke up just after the dream, a cold sweat ran over him, his heartrate skyrocketed, and his breathing made him dizzy. He looked at his hands and felt his body and face, "It was just a nightmare..." It was almost time for everyone to wake up, about half an hour to an hour after the sun rose. He remained awake until Gizor woke up. Noticing that Kora had left, he would also wait for him to come back.
-
"So when did you rize Anton?" I ask walking back up with steaming, cooked fish on a long stick. (lol I'm full otter now)
-
{[Should Anton take notice to the Otter thing?]}
"I woke up just about a couple minutes ago... I had a really wierd dream this morning."
-
((not realy otters and ferrets are pretty closely related he'll only notice my tail is longer and thicker and I'm taller but after that dream he most likely won't notice at all))
"That happens some times, after all your made a life changeing choice last night so its understandable. Fish?" I ask offering him a fish
-
Vosur fell into a deep sleep, Rapid-Eye-Movement to be precise. In his dreams, he saw someone familiar... having blue hair in a style like he had now, also having similar clothing but no prosthetics. Vosur could not hear what he was saying with other people familiar to him, but it looked like they were discussing something important. Then suddenly, the blue-haired person pushed another of the people nearby out of the way before everything turned white, Vosur now waking up and breathing heavily as if from a nightmare. "So... that's how I got these." he managed to say in the heavy breathing, looking down to his legs. He attempted to go back to sleep, having another dream... a bunch of doctors around the blue-haired person, who this time did not have his legs and was unconscious. The mental image flashed, then appeared as though time had passed, the blue-haired man having a set of prosthetics as he was assisting a mining crew, venturing away from the group for a short while and looking at what appeared to be ancient machinery. Another white flash happened and this time Vosur's pupils were completely dialated (open) as he again woke up in heavy breathing, morning very close. "Never in my life have I had so much problems sleeping, and have been grateful for that."
-
"Sure, you know I used to come here and go fishing all the time." Anton said, remembering how he never actually caught a fish in his life, "Though that doesn't mean I got any." his cheeks turned red and he tried to hide a smile, but couldn't.
-
"I just have a natural tallent for it I guess always have and always will." I say grinning heartily as I bite into one of the fish I have the others sitting in what used to be my fire.
-
Anton took a fish, leaving one for Gizor, and began eating. "I've never had such a vivid dream before. Do you think it was important, or just my imagination running rampant?" The image of the bug from his dream came to mind, and he shuddered.
-
"Probably the later, I know quite a bit about these drives, they tend to change some one it to something with comprable attributes to the owner." I say quickly pollishing off my fish
-
the smell of food wafted past gizors nose, he woke up immediately, "breakfast in bed, you shouldn't have, how 'bout i make dinner today, i make a mean larvae stew," gizor said, dead serious as he ate
-
"What's that like?" Anton had no clue what a larvea was.
-
Suddenly turning slightly green I run to the lake and start gulping down water. Returning not so green I tell Anton "A larvea is the baby form of a bug such as a catapiler they are nasty and a stew made of them doesn't sound all that appatizing, I'll stick with fish, no offense Gizor."
-
"thats alright, ill just make maggot cake for our dessert then" he said happily
-
This time I run off and actualy am sick before I can make it to the lake. Upon reaching the lake I take of my clothes and jump in and swim for a bit to clear my head of thoughts of eating insects, before grabing a fish and eatinig it raw while still underwater.
-
gizor looked over at anton "was it something i said?" ge asked
-
"Well... for him it might have been, but I'm fine with exotic food, if you don't mind me calling it that."
-
"call it exotic if you must, but i just love putting gummy bugs in food, do you think he's allergic to candy?" gizor asked, holding up some gummi worms he har found....somewhere
-
Anton looked confused, "You mean, you didn't mean REAL bugs?"
-
gizor looked puzzled "no of course not, who eats real bugs.....ew" the thought of this made gizor feel nautious
-
I come walking back, in my clothes but still sopping wet. "Okay I'm better now."
-
"That's what Kora thought you meant, and he jumped in the lake!" Anton burst into laughter, to the point that his stomach hurt from laughing and his face hurt from smiling, "Oww..."
-
"Whats so funny?" I ask tilting my head to one side and looking rather confused.
-
Anton attemted to tell Kora what happened, but he kept chucking "STOP LAUGHING!!" he shouted at himself.
-
"Uhhhhh forget I asked." I say sitting down before asking "So are we gonna get you that drive now or later?"
-
gizor looked over at anton, waiting for his answer, and eating some more gummi worms
-
After he finished his meal, he replied "Now would be good."
-
"Lets see if the others over there want to accompany us, one of them definately has a gear not sure about the other one, and I think we stumbled upon the gears for a reason." I say while sitting down.
-
gizor was unsure "they didn't seem very happy with us, ooh i know, bring them some food, that always makes ME happy" gizor said excitedly
-
"Well, they're called Hero Drives for a reason, right?" Anton dusted off his outfit, "Oh, last night Luke went out to check out and watch over the dig site, I wonder if he's still there?"
-
"Probably, and to you Gizor thats not a bad idea." I say before going back to the lake to catch some more fish
-
"oooh they like venison, ill go get some" gizor said grabbing his spear "ill be back in no time" gizor said to anton before he left
-
{[I wish I could draw Antons Hero Drive form right now...]}
"Maybe we should not bring so many guns with us this time."
{[Oh, and Gizor, we were outside already.]}
-
(sorry i edited the door part out :)
-
Anton waved to Gizor, "See you later!"
-
Getting to the lake I use a quicker method for catching the fish, instead of using my tail as bait. Quickly catching a few I return to the camp and start preparing them for cooking. After gutting them and scrapping of the scales I put them on spits (ie sticks that will be over the fire) and start to roast them.
-
"I should make up a new identity for myself." Anton took out a notepad and started writing down names that came into his mind.
{[I'm thinking of Gardus Valkarian. Sounds mythical.]}
-
Gizor returned, with venison in his hand "i left the rest for other animals" he said and began to cook his findings over the fire alongside the fish
-
"What happens if they don't accept, I would just forget them." Anton was still writing down some names, he seemed to like the first one, "Gardus Valkarian will be my new name." he showed Gizor and Kora the name writen down on a piece of paper, above four other names that were scribled out.
-
"thats an awesome name anton, uh i mean gardus, oh and if they dont accept it, ill give them my puppy dog face" gizor replied, demonstrating a face that would give a child nightmares
-
"Uhhh I think mine works better." I say as I make a face that would bring a statue to tears. (hee hee hee I think I'm gonna have my element change in a similar fashion to what happened to some one in this rp hee hee hee)
-
Anton looked at Gizor, "That should do it!"
omg
Then he looked at Kora, "That too!"
:snicker:
-
gizor returned his face to normal "at least someone appreciates my facemaking abilities" he said proudly, unaware of antons hidden meaning
-
(geese u guys post 3 pages in less than a day)
trowa didn't sleep, she was still in perception of everything around, but she didn't move, no breath, nothing, but her mind was working and so were her eyes, behind her mask, she sat up thinking, she didn't do anything fast when she could help it. she liked to look at her options in life. as the sun rose she stayed in 'sleep mode' for a bit still reveling in the serenity of being. she thought a lot about the hero drives, technically she wasn't living so she couldn't change. sides she was special in her own way. she decided to stay in sleep mode for a while longer, she was detatched, she was, yet she wasn't. it was this kind of stuff that kept her going. she stayed down where she was last night and kept looking up as the stars tilted to the blue sky of day dwellers. she waited, once she had to rise she would, she hoped vosur wouldn't freak out because she wasn't breathing.
-
(sorry we didnt mean too :sniffle: )
-
{[I'm a lead foot, I guess.]}
"I'm going to the dig site, I don't think Trowa or that other guy trust me enough to pay a visit."
-
After he finally got himself awake enough to move about, he brushed the debris off of his clothing and stretched a bit. He pondered cleaning himself up in the river, but he was not much of a swimmer now, having gained quite a bit of weight due to his new legs. "Man, I could go for a shower." he muttered to himself.
-
trowa saw vosur awake out of her periferals, she shook her self up, and streched, cracking her mechanicle neck (ca's the cracking sound is the popping of nitrogen gas pockets on ure bones, and sense i have mechanicle bones...) and looking around,she took out a polishing cloth and wiped it on her face mask, and walked over to vosur "morning" she greeted smiling behind her mask.
-
He turned around, very quietly for someone with mechanical legs like his, smiling a bit as he returned the greeting. "Allo Trowa. So, since you were kind enough to feed me, where do you plan on going next?"
-
trowa shrugged "i was out here to chop wood up for my family's forge, would sermize that i'd be expected back at some point" she smiled "but thats just a guess" she laughed "what are you gonna do?" she asked the wolf on a more serious note.
-
"I wish I knew." he muttered, looking slightly off to the side. "I feel like I've forgotten so much that I need to understand more about myself before I can do anything else. But even before that, if I remember correctly, I'll have to pay a visit to a nearby abandoned armory. I have no defenses and I've just barely been surviving."
-
(after u post we'll wait for the others is that ok vosur)
"hey titan works is just down the road into town, thats why i was getting wood anyway, come with me, i'm sure my bro won't mind having a few choice peices taken by me for a friend" she smiled and looked up at the wolf, "i make stuff all the time, i have some stuff u can have or i can make something costom for ya" she smiled, she loved a challenge, doing work for free was a deficet, but she could afford a few of them, her bro understood her like that. "now i won't take no for an answer" she said holding up a finger. and pointing at the tall wolf "i'll help u till u get some of whatever u need, and then u can do what u want" she said
-
"Well, if you're not going to take no for an answer, the least I can do is to help out. Maybe I might even be able to make it easier for you by being a 'scout'. Or even help you carry wood if you have a pack to carry more in?" He moves about a bit, eager to get on the road since Trowa offered to lead him in the right direction.
-
When Anton, soon to be Gardus, got to the dig site he didn't see Luke, "He must be in the mine shaft." Anton shrugged and entered the front portal to the mine. It was dark, cold and moist, "Hnh, I seem pretty confortable being here." he used to see the Hero Drives as something that should be avoided, but today he'll come in contact with one. "Luke, you there?" Anton said into the quiet tunnel. His words echoed back to him and out into the forest.
-
"ok then" she said laughing and running after the very tall white wolf, "my bro haulled some wood back a while ago so we should have enough to get some stuff done" she smiled behind her mask, this would be a lot of fun. (the next post i make we'll be at my place just a heads up vosur, and i'll meet up with the rest of u guys later)
-
"Dont bother with him, he probably doesn't know as much about these drives as I do." I say smiling and taking the lead with a small ball of fire hovering above my head to help me see. "Ahhh here we go." I say as I stoop down to pick up the gear for Anton "I sugest that we retire to your home before you touch this, that way we can controll it some what."
-
{[Ok, because I lack a good work space and my brother's kids keep bugging me I can't draw Gardus, so I'll do my best to make a detailed description of him.]}
"I was just about to do that." He seemed a bit startled by Kora's sudden apearance. "How many of these Hero Drives are there in the world, do you think?" He said as they left the mine.
-
"Don't know but I'm guessing a few thousand, apperantly when we found them that long ago, I read one of the inscriptions and it mentioned a great evil, I'm guessing these were designed to allow people to fight this evil." I say as I walk out and wait for Anton to take the lead so that we can get back to his cabin/hut/shack
-
gizor approched kora and anton, holding the venison wrapped in leaves, "hi guys, kora your fish was done so i took them off the fire for you" he said " ohhh a gear, anton is that one gonna be yours?" gizor asked
-
"Sure is." Anton said with a smile.
-
"cool, are you guys heading to the cabin? ill go grab the fish" gizor said
-
"We'll wait for you." Anton took the lead and led Kora into his place. "This is a tense moment, huh?"
-
"Thank you Gizor, completely forgot about the fish, which is odd, I usualy don't forget about food I've cooked." I say as I follow Anton before saying "Not realy, you on the other hand are probably anxious about this while I am not so that would explain it."
-
gizor returned with the fish "alright lets go" he said
(im goin to sleep now cya guys)
-
{[See you later, wavey!]}
"I trust you, after all you know alot more about these Hero Drives than I do." He had finger-less gloves on, so he didn't have to take them off to activate the Hero Drive.
{[I'll work on a quick bio for Gardus Valkarian, then I'll get to the change.]}
-
luke limped back to the camp in his wolf form his right back leg was bleeding badly he morphed into his anthro form and slumped to the ground
-
"Here goes nothing." Anton touched the Hero Drive, hoping for the best.
Name: Gardus Valkarian
Age: 144 as a Dragon, 24 as a Human
Original race: Human
Hero Race: Anthro Sand Dragon
Hero Status: Active, looks like a Dragon fang necklace
Natural Dragon powers: Flight, Above average Human strength/speed, Keen senses{[No Hero Powers]}
Height & Weight: 6 ft. 6 in. 250 lbs.
Looks: {[Gardus' armor is more simple, like dull grey or silverish metal. Gardus' skin is colored like sand.]} (http://anthrosaur.deviantart.com/art/Dragon-Lancer-7983469)
At the exact moment he came in contact with the mysterious gear, it changed his body from a Human to a Dragon in an instant. "I never had this in mind! This is better than I had hoped for, I feel incredible!"
-
"Well I told you that it felt good." I say notting sagely.
-
{[God, I hope they don't bardge in here an kick me off the computer so they can go to sleep.]}
"Of all the time I speant avoiding these things... I could have been like this." He sniffed the air, he could smell fresh blood outside. He left to see who it was, and he followed the scent to their camp, and found Luke lying on the ground. "Those traps couldn't have done this kind of damage." He thought, looking at the deep wound in Luke's leg. "I'll take you back to my place." Quickly, he bandaged up his leg so the bleeding would stop, and carried him to his cabin. He layed him down on the sopha to rest.
-
"Dang this isn't good, this isn't good at all." I say quickly makeing a small fire 'blade' at my finger tips before unraping the bandages and cauterizeing the wounds with the 'blade'.
-
gizor looked at the injured luke "what happened he asked" his scales going pure white
-
"I don't know, I smelled blood, I think. I had this strange urge to find the source of the smell, and I found Luke with his leg all bloody. The traps at the dig site are not this effective, they might shock you a little, or tie you up in a net, but nothing like this."
-
trowa walked into the small town, she looked back at vosur "ok titan works should just be..." she said looking at the sky above the town, it was filled with smoke, like from a camp fire. a really big camp fire. trowa's eyes widened behind her mask. she sprinted to her home. please be ok she thought ferventgly. "that damned gear" she said to her self tearing down the streets not caring about anything other tthen getting to her home. trowa had found a gear after he mining incedent, her and her family had always lived there, her cousin used to be a miner, he brought a gear back from the mine and told us what they did. they kept it behind metal but someone could hae found it and decided to keep it. "please" she wispered, pure fear of what she would find fuled her muscles, propelling her on tward her home.
trowa rounded the bend and came across titan works full on fire smoldering to the ground, the towns fire department were already there, tryng to quell the flames. trowa ran up andd looked at a fighter "did u get inside" she =asked hurridly
"aggg" the fire man growled a hunge saint bernard "no the flames have a mind of their own, as soon as we put some out more pop up, not like a regular fire" he said through a thick accent "if this don't end soon we may run out of water, we might have to pull out"
trowa didn't waste time, she ran through the door into titan works, meeting a raging inferno. "DAD! GETT! WHERE ARE YOU" she yelled tearing though the rooms, the cloths she wore incenerated in the heat, her sword folded and melted, she discarded both with out a second thought, she was heating up fast also but she had to keep going. she pulled out her axe and used it to crash though a door and through a metal box. revealing the gear, she put on a heavy gauntlet and scooped it up, and deposited it in her back box. ane went on, she had searched the whole house and shop, no family. she cryed in the inferno, the heat cracking and shattering her glass mask, she slumped to the floor defeated, she had used up her oxygen and she was folding like her blade. she was out of time, and had failed "gett?" she asked falling over her eyes closing "where are you" she said as her eyes closed and the inferno raged higher.
-
luke slowly woke up as the fire heated his wound "wh-where am i?" he asked
-
While Gardus was watching Kora fix up Lukes leg, he could smell smoke, at first he didn't think much about it, it was just someones camp fire. He pointed his nose up in the air, sniffing the very strong smell of burning wood and chemicals. He turned the radio to the local news channel, and heard a report on 'Titan Works burning to the ground,' He remembered when he first met Trowa, and she said her last name was Titan. The news reporter on the radio said "The fires here at Titan Works are raging, firefighters are working as hard and as fast to put out the flames, but it seems there is more to it than just a fire. Local firefighters say 'The fires have a mind of their own.'" Gardus turned around when the report ended, and saw Luke wake up. "This is my cabin, remember? You're gonna be fine, can you tell us what happened to you?" Gardus didn't realise that Luke wouldn't recognise him now, Gardus turned around when the second report came in, "This just in. As firefighters push against the flames, a local Mecha, now identified as 'Trowa Titan' has entered the burning building a few minutes ago, and hasn't come out since then." Gardus turned the radio off, he had to help put out the flames, and if possible, rescue Trowa from the building himself. "I'll be back." He would put on his forest fire survival uniform, but it would not fit him now. He stormed out of the cabin and made a flying leap after a short sprint. He flew like he had been doing it all his life, but now was not the time to have fun, he had to get to Titan Works. He saw the tower of smoke rise out from behind the trees, in a small town near the forest edge. He swept his wings to speed up, he would make it there in about a minute, if he was walking he would take longer than ten minutes to make it.
-
Vosur pursued after Trowa, noticing the flames and following after her, intending to not let her go at it alone, though in this case the fire slowed him down as his senses were overwhelmed by the flames. "Crud, can't get past them and I have no gear to survive such a blaze for very long... but no way am I going to just let her die in it." Firing the thrusters in his legs as he sped to the town, it wasn't long into the borders before he had to shield his face, only in just long enough to grab one person and get out the same way. He didn't know who he had or even if the person was conscious or alive, but when he finally reached a safe distance away, he landed and coughed repeatedly, trying to recover enough to attempt again when he could see again.
-
(edited)
trowa coughed seeing sunlight she wiped her face as glass shards showered over her face. she felt tears welling up in her eye, she closed them to the sun and layed still, her body was half melted, she had to be careful, untill she cooled she could not rick moving. her mind was a torrent of sorrow and pain, both from her nearly molten body and the loss of her home, job family and life. she breathed in cool air in an attempt to cool her body down, but doing so caused a section of her stomach to fold in, the heat making it jellow like. she held in a yell of pain and grabbed the folded metal and pulled up and breathed out and let the metal slide back into place. she looked up at the world with out her visor and nearly shook with sorrow everybody is dead, gett? dad? niki? her mind rattled on as her body started to cool, but a lot of damage was done, folded metal was every where. she saw in her periferals that vosur was next to her, coughing violently. she closed her eyes i loose them, i almost die and he almost dies too, and the fireman, they could have died, all because of that damned gear she had taken it home after her cousin disapeared, and she had put it away, ppl knew about the gear there, they locked it in the closet on off days, but when ppl were in he shop it was behind thick glass/ plastic. it was broken from force applied. that ment some one had tried to get it, but couldn't find it so they torched the place. because of me every one is gone she squeezed her eyes closed even more to try to get rid of the images and thoughts in her mind.
-
Upon hearing the report and seeing Gradus run out the cabin, I begin to sprint toward the town. Sounds like some one with the same powers as me has started a fire, I'm gonna have to put it out. Falling behind Gradus I keep trying to catch up Uhhh we otters aren't made to run were swimmers not runners. Panting heavily I shout out "Go on ahead *panting* I'll catch up with *more panting* you later."
-
After a few more seconds of coughing, he stood up and dumped some water from a canteen he had on himself before attempting again. His hearing was ringing from the sheer sounds of the thrusters while he moved, even his own yelling "Anyone out there?" to see if there was anyone conscious he couldn't hear, there was one individual who was fighting the flames, but was protected.... so Vosur moved on to find someone else as he knew Trowa had a reason to rush in and risk her life. Time was running out before he had to rush out again.
-
trowa looked around, still resting in the dirt where vosur had left her. she looked around lamenting over what had happened, she gritted her teeth and rolled over, on her stomach she placed her hands shoulder width apart and pushed up till she could get her feet under her. she rose slowly, shaking with anger and rage. she was very slow tho in her pace to the burnt out ruins of titan works. the fire man had retreated almost out of water they doused the houses around titan works. the flames still burned. she grimaced and steeled her self for the run inside.
-
If he would pick up Kora and take him to Titan Works, his wings would not support both of their weight, "Sorry..." Reluctantly, he had to leave Kora to walk the rest of his way there. Gardus made a hard landing on the cement, quickly he got up and ran to Titan Works, ignoring the firefighters and reporters around, he snuck into the building unseen to them. His skin was resistant to heat, being a desert Dragon, but not quite enough to last him too long in a burning building. He could hear Vosur calling out to the survivors.
-
Finally reaching the outskirts of the town, I see the smoke coming from titan works and press onward toward the building.
-
After a short period of searching, Gardus found Trowa lying in front of the building, "Trowa!" Oddly, his voice didn't change from his Human self. People who knew him would hear Anton speaking, but see Gardus.
-
((Uh Trowa is out of the building already))
Upon reaching the burning building I shout "Every one stand back" before I concentrate on the flames and start forcing them off of the wood and into the air, making a very large ball of flame, which I then begin to compress, until it turns into a stone made of fire. Quickly scooping up the 'stone' I hide it in my clothes before blacking out due to the sheer amount of strain of doing this.
-
{[Edited]}
Gardus stepped far enough away from the building so he wouldn't get burned up.
-
He was not able to stand the heat for too long, escaping through a back exit before violently coughing as steam rose off of him from the canteen he poured on himself.
-
trowa ignored every one and ran into the building again, she searched around for what she was looking for, a little pod was in the living room it was spitting out the fire, almost melting again she walked up and curb stomped the egg shape, it broke and the fire started to die down. with the help of that otter outside the fire went down fast. trowa almost melted by now fell over in the charred and ashy mess of titan works. the fire was still up but kora and the fire men would bring it down. she closed her eyes and rested
-
gizor watched, unable to help, the temperature being too high for him to handle, he moved to where it was cooler and sat down
-
Gardus went back to where the building once stood, the fires now dead, he used his wings to cool Trowa enough to be lifted up and took her outside to an ambulance. He might be able to lend a hand in helping her recover, he used to work as a part-time mechanic way back.
-
Vosur blinked, barely able to keep his eyes open and still coughing from his run-in. He did not know that Trowa went back in after he pulled her out, recovering just enough to get up and move around. After a while of confirming to himself that there wasn't anyone else in the building, he made his way back to where he left Trowa, not seeing her there. "Where could she have gone?" he said while still having a coughing fit.
-
trowa found her self on a movable bed, about to be lifted into an ambulance. she frowned and cuffed the doctor in the back with her, and the doctor about to load her up. she pushed them aside and stood up shakily "leave. me. alone." she stressed the last word and started off she had to find vosur, she walked back to where she had last seen him, where he had rrescued her. she saw him coughing, she shakily walked over and dipped her hand in the dirt to cool it as mush as she could than started twapping the large wolf on the back, lightly trying to help. "vosur" she said her voice box had been melted and was out of any usible form, her voice was just the sounds her mechanicle mind sent to her voice box to be trnsmitted as sound other's could understand. she shook her head tried to get his attention.
-
Slowly getting back up I go to make sure every one is all right. Going over to talk to the fire men I say "Next time a fire like this breaks out fine a pyrokenetic, thats the only way to stop this kind of a fire."
-
He looked up to Trowa by moving his eyes, still coughing a bit. "Don't... rush in... like that." he managed to speak out between coughs, which were lessening in frequency. After a while, he managed to stop himself from coughing, now just blinking more often than ususal, letting a few smoke-brought-on tears fall so that he'd be able to see eventually. "Looks like I'll be staying a while and I'll be taking you up on that weapon offer. But we'll have to see who all has been hurt from all of this as I didn't find anyone else in the building besides you."
-
trowa clenched her fist and looked down at the hard packed dirt. she still couldn't talk, she wasn't fast enough, it was her fault, if she hadn'tbrought home that gear, if she had come home yesterday, she might have been able to do something. inside her sself was turmoil i was't strong enough she thought. she reached into her pack, and grasped the gear she left there, she draw it out and was about to crush it but it transformed and let out light. trowa was engulfed in light she was liftedup into the air, then dropped again, she looked around, as she straightened up, she looked over to vosur he was at about eye level with her now, she furrowed her brow and clenched her hand, but only suscedded it sorta clenching a massive bear paw, she fell on to all 4's and looked around mainly at her self, she sat on her behind and looked at her paws, her hands shook with rage. she stood up to her full height and roared long and loud. she was a bear that blasted gear had changed her, she roared again. nearly shaking with fury at what had happened. she fell on to fours again, and looked around at some hing anything she could take her anger out on.
-
"Trowa stop it!" he yelled in a defiant Drill Sergeant-ly manner. He just realized what happened and knew the possible reasoning behind Trowa's rage. "I feel like I lost more than my memory when I changed... those who were entrusted to me lost their lives due to what happened. I couldn't take the pain and so my mind retreated into a feral state." He started to brush himself off. "I did not find any of your family members in the house, no remnants to indicate the presence of other mechs in the building. You want to do something about it, that gear... then you need to get a hold of yourself!" He started to look around at the remains of the building.
-
trowa looked at vosur and shook, angry at him and everything at the moment, him yelling made her even more angry. she glared at vosur and still as tense as her old mecha self and layed down in the ashes and tried to calm down. she squeesed her eyes shut. not talking, she couldn't summon the drive to talk. she just sat there till her breathing slowed, she looked up at vosur, pain in her eyes. she layed her head down, and covored her eyes and muzzle with her massive paws and silently cryed, sobs shook her heavy frame and tears ran down into the ashes of her home. but she uttered no sound, she continued to cry, she was just a kid in the end, no matter how many responsibilitys she had at home, no matter how much freedom she had, she was still a kid at heart, and this was too much.
-
He walked around a bit, blinking again as his eyes changed to red as he ventured a bit away from Trowa, then blinking again to go back to blue eyes as though he was wanting to make sure his vision was intact. "I'd suggest learning to cope with your new body. It's a reflection of the "you" in your heart." His whole demeanor had turned-around in the mere matter of seconds... first, kid-like and eager to learn, then hurried and battle-hardened, but now calm and showing as though he had a plan. "I don't have much of a choice in going anywhere since I can't do much without some sort of weapon, and the armory that I can remember is too far away to reach before nightfall, so I'll need your help Trowa. I don't remember too much other than the name "Vosur Aekira" and vague images and dreams... but if my gut-feelings are correct, we need to be ready to go as soon as possible."
-
trowa stoped crying but still didn't move. she had never felt so alone before, she still layed in the ashes, no matter what the tall wolf said she stilll felt alone. she looked bleakly out into space
-
He looked around at the remnants of the smithy. "Man... much more difficult to make anything useful. I don't even know how to blacksmith in the first place." Reaching behind his own head, he rubs the back of it as he tries to come up with any improvisations... knowing only a few things that were required to smith items. "Bellows, water, hot coals, hammer, anvil, tongs, and lastly... metal."
-
Gardus watched Trowa walk away, but didn't follow her. Ha found Kora, fainted on the ground. He went over and held him up, "Kora, can you hear me?" Kora was still breathing.
-
"it's uschi osa now" she said standing up tall to her full height. her furry face grimly set. she fell back onto all 4's "come on vosur, once we get everything squared away. i'm gonna find out who done this, and gonna give them ****" she said her upper lip pulling up in a silent snarrle. she started walking through the ruins, some tools were here and there, she looked all around this could work she said trying to pick up a pair of tongs but not having much suscess. she stomped the ground in agrivation, and a piece of rock shot up next to her, she stumbled back, then stomped again but focused on coal. as she brought her massive paw down a chunk of black rock shot up out of the earth. she wasn't happy but she felt lighter this will definatly work "vosur, there should be a shed in the woods, just outside from town, it has an extra forge, anvil, and some rudimentary tools. can u scavenge around here and try to find some tools, or anything that wasn't destroyed by the fire, i'll head to the forge and get some coal ready to start the forge" she said slash asked the tall wolf
-
"Fair enough that you take on a new name... since I can't remember my old one." He stretched a bit before he started in the direction. "Thank you Uschi Osa."
-
Getting up slowly, I reply "Yeah, just over did it a bit."
-
uschi nodded and looked around her nose making little trenches is the ashes, she found a pair of tongs, and a hammer. she grasped a hold of them in her mouth with soem dificulty she started walking to her family shed. if i remember right there should be a forge, a store of coal, an anvil and the stream runs down about 20 feet down the path she thought to her self walking out side of town. after i get vosur and i some armor i'm gonna find anton, were gonna take the ppl who have done this down she thought fercly comming upon her shed
-
On his way to the shed, he happened to notice Kora. "You alright?" he asked as he knelt down to help him up.
-
"He's alright," I say to Vosur, as I stand up, "Must have been one hell of a magic spell, eh?"
-
The black fur on her back lay still, not a thing moved in the clearing she lay in. The feral wolf smelled the grass swaying, felt the wind tickle her skin.
-
uschi dropped everything off at the shed and walked back out, she looked around for vosur, and found him and a sand colored dragon with that otter near them, she walked over and sniffed the dragon "anton?" she asked standing up to her full height she looked him in the face. it was him
-
Hearing voices, Winterborn stood up, sniffing the air. Following the unfamiliar scent of dragon, she found them and barked, sitting beside the shed.
-
"Hmmm it seems we have a guest." I say as I bend down and say to Winterborn "Its okay you can come over we won't hurt you."
-
Sniffing, she tentatively stepped forward, tripping over something. "Arf?" She looked down at it, a weird looking piece of an engine. Ignoring it, she bounded over to Kora, pouncing him. "Aroof!!" She growled, licking his face with her tail wagging fiercely.
-
uschi looked at the feral wolf and at the gear on the ground, her eyes narrowed "well it can't get much worse" she said walking over to the gear. "i'm gonna stomp this gear out of existance"
-
"Don't it might come in handy later. And arent we friendly." I say first to Uschi then to the wolf.
-
Watching her, the wolf growled and pounced the gear, barking. A flash of light and the wolf disappeared, a human stood in it's place. "What the...." She looked up, yelping. "Where am i?" Glancing around, Winterborn asked softly, touching her hair, and her furless stomach. Where the fur had been, near her unmentionable parts, there was a weird cloth-like material. It resembled a tankini and she growled, the sound odd in her human throat. A circlet of emeralds was wrapped cozily around her bare ankle.
-
uschi looked at the human. and slammed her masssive fist on the ground in annoyance, rock shot up under her catapulting her up in the air and she hung there for a second before landing in a tree. she looked at the spire of rock where she once sat and glared at it. then swong around and leaned on the tick and strdy branch to watch the proceedings
-
"T-Trowa? Is that you? Wow!" Gardus saw the wolf out there come closer, "Rather friendly for a Wolf." when the Wolf jumped on the gear, and turned into a humanoid shape, "It's amazing what these Hero Drives can do." he stepped back when Uschi slammed her fist on the ground and she landed in a tree, "What's wrong?" he asked Trowa from the bottom of the tree.
-
"nothing" she said angry at being turned into a bear "what happened to u" she said twisting causing her to fall out of the tree, she landed and the earth beneath her cushined her fall "that is so weird"
-
"'What happened to me?' What do you mean?" Gardus shrugged at the question, honestly not getting at what she meant.
-
"I'm guessing she means why do you look like that" I say as I trun away from wolf/human who is standing up and appears to be in the nude (lol you don't just get clothes magicaly you know.)
-
"The Hero Drive did this. I guess that's how you changed too, huh?" He looked over at Trowa, now Uschi.
-
"yep" uschi said "and yo otter boy stop freaking out, i'm not wearing clothes either" she said being a feral bear she walked on 4's and looked no diffrent from a guy bear while she was on all 4's and if she layed down she looked llike a lump of dirt. "can u guys do me a favor"
-
"What do you need?" Gardus said back to Uschi.
-
Having confirmation that the otter was alright, he went on to the shed, starting to prepare to make some equipment for himself and Uschi Osa as he started setting tools in an area he can access them easily. "Now I just need to know how to do this..." he smirked as he looked around at the makeshift forge.
-
Staring down at my feet I reply "I'm not freaking out, I just don't like the peep show it's kinda creepy."
-
uschi looked at vosur as he entered the shed "i'll talk to u guys later, there is a storage shed on the other side fo the stream, feel free to help ure selves" she said "i'll be right back" she said walking into the forge. "vosur do u know anything about forging" she asked while taking out a piece of paper and a knotted cord
-
"What just happened?" She asked, still growling and barking in the wolf tongue. When she saw she was wearing no clothes, she dropped to the ground and muttered under her breath. "Can someone get me something to wear?"
-
In response to Uschi Osa's question: "Only that the metal has to be tempered correctly, alloyed immediately after proper heating temperature is achieved, it has to be beaten into shape while it's still warm, then cooled and reheated to proper temperatures to ensure proper temper. But as for shaping, I have no clue." he shrugs, not really knowing how to physically forge anything, just remembering from books he's read before the incident.
-
"ok" uschi said grabbing the cord in her teetjh and tossing it over to the wolf "write down how many knots it takes to circle ure chest, the length of ure arm, ect how much armor u want just tell me" she said "once u get the steel hot enough u hammer it out until it gets too cool then u re heat it and fold it then hammer it till it gets too cool." uschi said giving out the basics of forging "what do u want armor weapons, ect ect" she said opening up the back dooor of the shed where extra armor and metal and weapons were stored, good thing they hadn't stored all of that stuff in the house" do u want anything in here" she said pointing while getting some wood in her mouth and setting it in the opening of the forge
-
"I'd have to say a brigandine will be my best bet for armor. As for a weapon, since I won't be able to make any firearms, a simple sword-and-sheath set will have to do." He took the cord and wrapped around himself, measuring about 7 knots and handing it back. "Just a little over 7, need to have it a little loose to wear the armor over this shirt." He ventured over to the forge and put on a set of thickened leather gloves, grabbing a set of tongs to grab a large piece of metal to place it in the coals, starting to use the bellows to pump more air into to the heat.

-
(thanks)
uschi nodded and tossed soe coal into the forge and let it heat up, as that happened she wentr into the back to look for a large piece of leather, she found one and grabbed it then drapped it over the scarred tabel, keeping an eye on the forge she cut out the pattern for a 7.5 knott shirt
-
The human walked over to where the noise was coming from, looking around the forge. "May I help?" She asked softly, hoping they could hear her. "I need some clothes..."
-
uschi saw the forge was ready and grabbed a quilted shirt and trousers and with a twist of her massive head she sent them over to the human, then walked over to the forge "we got it, for now" she said pulling the chunk of metal out with her powers and pounding it and pounting it till it cooled a bit and reached a darker cherry tone, then shoved it back into the forge
-
Gardus walked over to Gizor, and sat down on a bench. "Funny how all of this seems normal, the people transforming and all the craziness. If I were still my old self I'd be running like there was no tomorrow!"
-
He continued working on the metal he had... making it out into a long strip and beginning the folding process. After a while of heating, folding, pounding, cooling, reheating, and continuing the process over and over, he started to have something that was resembling a sword's blade, although it was not sharp. Using that "blade" as a mold, he began to form himself a sheath, giving himself a little bit of room-allowance so that he can make a mechanism to lock in the blade.
-
uschi saw he couls take care of the blade ok, she went over to the armor closet, and took out an old pair of greves and a chest plate, she started punching out 3" by 4" squares, once she got a lot of them she took out a needel and string then stitched the shirt togeather nicly and then riveted the plates on. once she was done she stitched some extra leather and chain links between the plates for extra protection while still keeping the mobility. she then shook out the shirt
-
Glad to have something, she hurriedly put them on and shot out of the forge, her sensitive ears ringing form the noise. "Ok then...." She muttered, hiding behind Kora.
-
He continued work, the basic shape of the sword and sheath almost completed. At the moment, it looked more like a flattened tube with a flattened piece of metal able to fit inside, but after seperating the two parts, he resumed work and the sword portion... making a handle and small handguard for it.
-
uschi shook out the sword then took a lot of armor in the closet then started using her powers to bend and shift them into her new set of armor. she found a saddle and added that on the back of her armor. then seeing how vosur was almost done she took a pail of water and dumped it in the rectangular stone half box. she walked out to fill the pail again
-
"Hey, do you know what's going on?" She asked meekly, feeling her stomach rumble. Another flash of light and a skunk stood where the human'd been.
-
((sorry bout not posting for a while))
"Is every one fully clothed now?" I ask as I keep stareing at the ground. Wow that pebble looks funny
-
The skunk nodded, poking Kora. "My name is Winterborn. What are you called?" Her tail swished back and forth lazily. Grinning, she looked at him innocently. "Whatcha lookin' at?"
-
((not to be nit picky but you were a wolf))
"I'm called Kora Torrent its a pleasure to meet you." I say without moving my head and being dignant enough to ignore the second question
-
(she is a shape si=hifter *shrugs*)
uschi pours the water into the basin, when he shaped it anough he would drop the blade in the water than she would sharpin it. she took vosur's armor and draped it over an armor stand in the corner, then looked at vosurs head then took out a round padded helm and set that out, she also set out a small wooden buckler, with the boards going in opposite ways on top of eachother making it strong, while it still being a hair lighter than a metal one with less protechtion. she put chain links over the sheild and added an iron rim to it then set it next to the armor, then she tossed a dagger with the sheild. if he didn't want the armor he didn't have to take it. then she sent outside and looked up and breathed in fresh air
-
((Would be an idea for that to be her power, but recommended that she can only change into non-extinct creatures))
Vosur started working the handle, handguard, and blade all together as one piece, not yet having sharpened the blade. After imprinting something on the side of the blade while it was still hot, he cools down and sharpens the blade before setting it to the side and putting finishing touches on the sheath.
-
uschi starts thinking, about her old self, and new self why am i a bear she thought thinking about birds, and all of a sudden she shifted into a bird. "CHEEEEPPPPPPPPPP" she screamed and thought about a squirrl and morphed into a squirrl. she thought about a human and turned into a green skinned human, she looked around and pulled on some breeches and a canvas shirt. she looked around spuraticallty ovbiously spooked
-
(that was the plan, i believe)
She looked about, head tilted. "hmm..." Feeling a wind difference, she turned, fluffy tail flicking.
