(I also just realized how unprepared the plane group is. They jumped into the middle of the rainforest with no means of getting out. No supplies. No nothing.)

(Just because it wasn't mentioned yet doesn't mean it wasn't planned.... No-name could have arrangements with Firestein to get them back to the US after their mission is finished. and possibly there is a pre-arrganged stash of things needed. especially if they were expected to need to spend some time there looking for Chase. bringing it with while skydiving would be a real pain. - oh I accidentally impaled myself on my tent pole... -
also bringing enough food for 7 people (I'm assuming Calynn isn't there since she hasn't been on.) That's a lot of food. - then again they have or had a limitless supply of chicken. sammy can make fire and it's a forest so easy heat source. dryden and or mikki could use their abilities to catch wild game. (so could aero but that was a secret) .... BTW loved the Noel shifter reveal too bad aero seemed to be absent when that happened. )

It hit him hard, seemingly leaving a small dent in his skull. Nothing major, he'd be fine. But his chip was on, so he barely felt it. He slowly turned back towards Sammy. He picked up a large boulder behind him without looking, using strength/telikinesis combo. He put several them around them. Trapping them all. His eyes went BRIGHT red and his lasers were about to shoot.

No-name clenched her jaw, her heart starting to beat in her chest. She hadn't felt this out of control since... well, since the last time Dryden had lost it. Just as Sammy threw the stone, she leapt forward, fingering the chip at the back of his neck. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Oh, where the crap was that button?

Dryden felt the pinch, but the chip didn't turn off. She was about a centimeter off from the button. He didn't do anything to react, however. The pinch seemed to have froze him.

Uh-oh. He wasn't supposed to freeze. And now she could see the hair rising on his neck. Where was that stupid button?

He reached his hand up and grabbed her hand. He yanked it off of his neck. When he spoke, his voice was different, deeper. "Don't try to get rid of me!"

Ash felt the her neck prickle as her eyes rested on his. Judging by the visible flares of suppressed fatal rage, she'd definitely gone too far. "Oh, carp," she whispered, slowly raising her hands as if to shield herself from the literally scorching glare as she backed away.


Pffft.














Ash froze as Dryden's eyes glossed over- and whether the impending change was for good or worse, she had no clue. She didn't dare move a muscle, nor did her eyes twitch. She gotten both her and Sammy into a situation that could easily end in them being incinerated... and it seemed as if even No-Name was on edge.
Don't... breath... just don't breath... don't think... don't focus on his eyes...

Fear sprung up inside her. She kept as still as possible as his fingers constricted around her tiny wrist. "Kids." She whispered, not taking her eyes from his, "run."

"Why would they run?" he asked, a devilish smile playing on his lips. "Are you..scared?" He kept his hand on her wrist, almost crushing it do to his strength.

Oh god..Oh god..Oh god..Oh god..Oh god... EVERYONE RUN. ABORT MISSION. I REPEAT, ABORT MISSION!!!!!!//

Ash finally began freaking out inside and turned wildly panicked eyes on Sammy. She was still frozen in place, but now it wasn't a matter of choice. Terror now didn't offer her a choice against paralysis.
"Why..." she choked out, lacking the mental capacity currently to even ponder where she she was getting the courage to speak. Her voice was barely more than a strangled squeak, as if there actually was a hand clutching her throat in its threat to choke her. "...Why are you so mad...?"

He turned his head ever so slightly, looking at her, though he didn't respond. He looked back at no-name.

Oh, carp. I only made him more angry. Sammy thought, starting to back away. She flinched as a boulder appeared behind her, then realized that they were trapped. She met Ash's eyes, seeing her desperation reflected back at her.

Up until now Aero had been peacefully observing everything. But when Dryden raged, Aero panicked and staggered backwards away from him. Even No-name seemed nervous, and that did not seem like a good sign. He knew that Dryden killed before, and he wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Basically, they're all already dead, unless.... No. He sweared to never use his powers, but... Okay, just this one time. I'll just act surprised and pretend it wasn't me.... yeah, that'll work.
Aero focused on manipulating the nerves in Dryden's legs to make his spin around in a sort of ballerina-style, and fall face down in the dirt. Hopefully that'll give No-name enough time to deactivate his chip?

Yep, I hate you.

Nah just kidding Besties! Nah kidding again. Friendsies!//

Haha it's okay!//


Dryden felt his nerve twitch and his leg started spinning. In the process, he grabbed everyone except for no-name using his telekinesis and lifted them 100 feet in the air. "You. Will. Never. Win." he growled as he fell into the dirt.

No-name fell with him, her wrist still in a death grip. But once he was down, she struck, poking at the chip rapid fire until she found the button. And then a few more pokes for good measure. She was sure it only worked one way.

He seemed to freeze again, then he blinked and when he opened his eyes they were black again. "What happened?" he asked, looking around at the terrified group of people. He let go of no-name's wrist and furrowed his eyebrows. D*** chip... he thought to himself, that's probably what happened.

No-name let out a rough sigh of relief and threw her arms around his neck. "You're back, stupid-head!" She said.

Oh, shoot. Did she really just hug Dryden? She pulled herself away. "Um... it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're back." Then she blinked, sudden recalling the event. He had tripped, but on what? There was nothing here. She glanced around, trying to find a root or something that he could have stumbled over. "But how did you fall in the first place?" She whispered, more to herself than anything.

He didn't hear her, due to his chip being off. Then he thought about it. He couldn't hear birds, or actually, he could barely hear anything. Just a faint humming sound. "Why is my chip off?" he demanded. He knew that sound, from when no-name had last turned his chip off.

No-name glanced off to the side. Should she tell him? It wasn't like he was any less destructive yesterday. Did he even care that he turned into the red-eyed rage monster? "Erm. It's off because reasons." She said. Then tried to ignore any further comments by pushing on the rock wall that Dryden had formed during his crazy moment.

Dryden still looked confused but nodded. He would turn it on later. He stood up and looked around, and he seemed to be in his own little world, as if he was thinking about something.

Dryden looked at no-name. "I can't hear anything. At all." Did my other ear go deaf too? he thought to himself.

(The kids didn't, no.)



No-name looked over her shoulder at him. Couldn't hear? "Is it the chip?" She asked, though she wasn't sure if he could read lips.

Sammy heard No-name say something about a 'stupid-head'. Did Dryden stop? Because I feel like we would be fried already if he hadn't... She stared fearfully at the boulders, fully expecting Dryden to come crashing through them.

Dryden looked over. "My chip glitched. It does that every few years."

She rolled her eyes, trying to lighten the situation. "Probably from all those bombs going off next to your ear." Then she motioned to the rest of the group to follow. They had to find Chase. Whether they had a cyborg or not.

He glared at her and turned his chip back on. It would be fine now...hopefully. He followed after no-name. He could hear now, and he heard someone else's footsteps far off, but didn't say anything.

Sammy attempted to scramble over the boulders. She realized it was futile on her third try. She heard voices and wondered if No-name had been able to calm Dryden down or something. "A little help here?"

"For gods sake, it's called a glitch. It's over. She turned the chip off." he said.
