(Lol every time carp makes me think of magicarp.... whats the last thing you remember? I can give you a quick update.)

"I really hope so," Zen said anxiously.

 

[RiverStorm]

She didn't hear River calling her name.

Tayn looked back and forth between Zen and Rex who were being particularly quiet. "don't you think they made it out?" She asked.

River clenched her teeth. She had barely made it out, and her leg was caught under rocks, putting her in a on-one-knee position. Since no one had responded, Tayn ether didn`t hear her, or she was still in the cave. Her heart lurched, Tayn could be dead, or Zen, rex, or Vance.

"I really hope so," Zen said anxiously.

The clouds had cleared enough to be able to tell that it was morning. And though the sun was shining there was a crisp chill in the air indicative of fall.


Tayns smile faded as she considered the possibility that someone might have gotten trapped in the cave. "Do you think we should go look?" She asked picking up on the general uneasiness of the group.

"Perhaps we could get some more people together and I can organize a search party." Zen suggested glancing over at the pile of rubble.

Tayn glanced around at the people around them and nodded silently. (this would be a be a great place for @DiamondSwan to join in )

Sammy stared at him, trying not to think abut how easily he had just killed all those people. I'm going on a secret mission that will most likely get me killed with a psychopathic murderer that can shoot lasers out of his eyes. Yaaay.

Crow suddenly realized that someone was missing. He looked around at the others. "Where did Janet go?"

Noticing the uneasy way Sammy was watching Dryden, Mikki edged over to her and nudged her. "This is gonna be fun," she whispered sarcastically, "I feel sooo safe, don't you?"

"Ya. The safeness is almost too much." Sammy whispered sarcastically back, nervously making a fire in her cupped hands.

Mikki floated next to her in a cross legged position until she was level with Sammy's head. "What's your weapon? Mine is a whistle that summons help, but I don't have any idea what kind of help, so I'm a little wary of using it." she admitted.

Aero studied his two ring swords, occasionally tossing them in the air to get a feel for their balance. Though, his gaze continued to shift to Dryden. He couldn't help but be angry. He hated being angry, but this guy was pure evil. Killing if necessary, killing of people who deserve it, sure, that's fine. But killing the innocent without even batting an eye? He clenched his jaws and blinked back tears. Putting aside his swords, he began fiddling with his gloves instead to distract himself from the memory of his parents' death.

Mikki felt slightly nervous. The tension in the train car was almost tangeable.

"I have..." Sammy paused, taking the sword of of its sheath. "A sword." she said, staring at the dragon on the blade.

Crow face-palmed. "Wow. Why didn't I notice that?" he asked himself, already heading back up towards the top of the staircase. If you could call a bunch of crumbling stones on the side of a cliff a staircase.

Sammy mentally weighed her chances against Dryden in a fight.

Mikki stood and walked over to the window and stared out. "How much longer?" she asked, watching the land speed by. It feels like we've been on this train forever!

(Okay, well my char is sawing logs, so I'll just narrate)

The train rumbled over the rail, buildings and cities blurring by as the group sat in awkward silence. No one seemed to know quite what to say. Or whether they had made the right choice. But at long last, the train pulled to a stop at an intercity airport in southern California. Palm trees, houses on stilts, and people bundled up, despite the seventy degree weather.

Mikki walked back over to Sammy and floated again. She was starting to feel carsick. The last train that she had been on was the one that took her from her old home town to her new home after the car crash. Therefore she hated all trains.

Mikki stepped off the train.

No-name got off the train and stretched, revealing a too-thin waistline under her flight jacket. She glanced to the group and motioned for them to follow as she made her way over the runway toward a small, jet-black propeller plane.

Dryden stood and quickly followed no-name, hurrying by using his super speed.

Sammy looked at No-name, suddenly feeling very suspicious. Did she just tell him to kill that guy? she thought. A small voice in the back of her mind told her that something was wrong with this mission, but she pushed it away.

(Assume he already did the deed because RHR isn't on right now.)
No-name clicked through the gate, boarded the propeller plane, and started flipping switches and pressing buttons. The engine revved to life.

"Hmm?" Dryden asked, despite having the intelligence, he was a bit confused.

No-name pinched the bridge of her nose, "Just... kill him quickly. No blood, or the kiddies will get scared."

Dryden nodded and stepped towards the guard, and grabbed his head, turning it quicklly and sharply to one side. There was a 'Crack!' and then the guards body dropped to the ground. Dryden smiled darkly, satisfied. "There."

Mikki stared. He had just killed him. Another innocent person dead. She looked away from Dryden in disgust, and climbed into the plane. This whole thing was starting to freak her out. Now they all were inadvertently the accomplices of murderers. Why was James Firestein in prison in the first place?

Dryden chuckled slightly and cracked his neck, before following the girl (whose name he did not no) into the plane.

Sammy watched in silence. Her heart pounded so loud she was sure everyone could hear it. I'm so confused. Why are they killing all these people? There's no reason. They're criminals.... murderers. This can't be right. I can't stand by and watch this.... She stepped forward as if to confront Dryden, then hesitated, realizing that he could simply vaporize her with his lasers. I have to think about this. I have to make a plan, like the heroes in my books. Think, Sammy, think..... She followed the others slowly, trying to think of a way to overpower Dryden. But nothing came to her. There has got to be a way to escape... Suddenly, her gaze snapped to Aubrey. A plan started to slowly form in her mind.

Dryden looked behind him as the girl seemed to step towards him, then hesitate. "Is there something you want?" he asked.

Mikki chose a seat as far away from Dryden as possible and as close to Sammy and Aubrey. She was really starting to hate volunteering for this mission. Well, I'll just keep an eye on the maniac. Then she froze as she heard him address Sammy. A slightly protective feeling welled up inside of her, surprising her. It was a feeling she hadn't felt since the car crash. It reminded her of the protective way she had thought about her younger sister.

"No," Sammy mumbled quickly, her eyes snapping to the ground, away from his black ones. I need to act like I'm fine with this. Like I'm totally not doing the thing every sane person should be doing right now...

"Hey, Sammy, want to sit over here? There's an empty seat," she said, pointing to the seat beside her.

Dryden smirked, knowing he scared the girl. He craved the feeling of people being scared of him. He sat towards the front of the plane, staring out the window, breaking a cup as he picked it up because his super strength was on.

Sammy hurriedly sat down. I need to tell everyone the plan. But Dryden probably has super-hearing too.... or the jet could have cameras. Maybe I could write it down? No, too easily caught...

Mikki could tell something was bothering Sammy. If only I could mind read!

Aero glared at Dryden. He wanted to confront him, but what would that accomplish? Besides, he didn't need to risk becoming more angry while doing so, since it just... fueled his powers. Aero walked towards the middle of the plane, and slumped onto a chair, moving his wings in awkward directions to keep them from getting more damaged. My powers-
No, best not to even think about it. He just wished his powers were nonexistent, so therefore he'll pretend they are.
"Can you give us anymore details on the mission? Please?"

"Yeah. What exactly are we going to do?"



(I know! Well, I could edit her charrie form...)

"I know as much as you do." Dryden answered, his Scottish accent that him and Charlotte shared strong. "She might know something." he motioned toward no-name.

(If they were al gathered around he would get suspicious and walk over. If they're all scared (or angry at) him than they'd probably let him through..)

On the side of the plane, written in small, white lettering, was the model King Air 350. "Hey, Dryden!" No-name called from the cockpit, "start the propellers, would you?" She said, motioning to either side of the plane. Then she turned to Aero and the others as they boarded. The plane had eight passenger seats, and a box-shaped toilet in the back. "We're making a pit stop in Hawai'i, then it's off to New Zealand. Should be there by midnight tonight."

Mikki felt her insides lurch as the plane lifted off. This was her first plane ride, and she would make sure that it was definitely her last. I don't like this! she thought, avoiding a look out the window. Heights were usually fine with her, with her being able to fly and all, but this was toooooo high.


(*stares at screen with wide eyes*)

As No-Name explained to them how to use a parachute, Mikki started to get confused. Wait- I can fly. I don't need one. Then she realized. She must not know. And I can't let her. Somewhere deep down inside of her she didn't quite trust No-Name. It wasn't even a question with the psycho murderer cyborg guy. She decided to try and call or text Gage as soon as the flight landed.

"These are auto-deploy. They go off at a certain altitude so that you tards don't get confused and frustrated when you splatter on he ground and die." She said.

No, will do though.//

Dryden nodded and super speeded over to the controls, hittng over 200 buttons in .5 seconds. The plane started to fly.

Mikki listened attentively. If she was going to pretend that she couldn't fly she had to learn how to use one.

Aero nodded his head as No-name explained, although he didn't plan on using a parachute. His wings were probably healed enough to fly with. He zoned out after a while of listening, knowing that he'd probably just forget everything weather he paid attention or not. Somehow he could remember anything and everything from the history books, but yet he was clueless about any useful information given to him. Maybe I should start bringing a notebook and pen with me so I can take notes...

Dryden sighed. "Don't forget we leave in 10." he said to no-name.

The pane finally landed after it's 2,000 mile flight. Now, to get gas... No-name glanced around the airport

Dryden chuckled at Zen. "What a spriosain." he said as he cracked his knuckles. His eyes went a blue/green and he put a finger to his temple. It seemed he was seeing something in his eyes.

Char nodded and took it, wincing slightly at the sound of the copter. She took the headset and put it on her head, adjusting her hair around it.

Dryden nodded and looked directly at the fence gate, using telekonesis to pull it together and using his lasers to melt it together. No one could get out, no one could leave. He aimed at their radios and destroyed them with the lasers, surprising the guards. He started shooting lasers at their feet, making them dodge, making them go slower.

"I don't think Mr. Firestein would like you doing that." Aero muttered under his breath, looking down at his feet as he walked off the plane.

No-name idled the plane up to the fueling station and shut the engine off. Glancing around, she noticed someone near the pump, staring wide-eyed at Dryden. She got up and moved to the door, "Hey." She said. "Fuel us up?"
The man nodded quickly. Even from where she stood, she could see his hands shaking.

Yep!//

Dryden almost rolled his eyes, then decided against frying his brain. He turned the lasers off long enough to look at Aero. "Does it look like I care at the second?" He turned back as he followed Aero, ocasionally turning towards the guards and shooting lasers at their feet, frying one's head....oops.

Dryden walked next to no-name. "Don't worry, your on my good side...for now, anyways." he smiled evilly. He looked toward no-name. "We ready? I accidentally fried one..." he said motioning toward where the terrified guards were gathered around a body with a charred neck, a fried head rolling down the hill. "Yeah, accidentally." he lied.

(Well, she's on the plane, but it's parked. I'll just say she hopped out)


The pump-station manager grew pale, then trained his eyes on his work.
No-name sighed heavily. "Dryden, Dryden, Dryden. If you don't stop killing people, I'm going to have to put you in the time out corner."

Kk.//

Dryden frowned. "Fine..." No-name and Firestein were the only ones he actually listened to.
@Fanci Feathers Marans

Mikki glared at him. "I don't think Mr Firestein would approve." She said coldly.

(GAGE!!!!!)

No-name grinned and elbowed him in the ribs, "Come on." She said, pulling herself up into the plane, "New Zealand awaits."

At last, she waved to the man who had filled their plane, "Aloha! Or whatever you people say." She called.

Mikki climbed back into the plane.

Dryden glared at No-Name (who really needs a name). "Thats nice, I really couldn't care less." he replied to Mikki. He followed no-name into the plane.

(I swear this is how Aero feels towards Dryden:
View attachment 1207228 XD XD Ahahaha.


Aero walked back into the plane, and towards the back row of seats this time. He sat at the edge of his chair and wrapped his wings around himself so he could tune out from his surroundings. All he could see was darkness, as the holes in his wings were pretty much healed. Aero needed to calm down. He was still angry at the bionic kid, especially since only seconds ago he killed another innocent person. His anger caused there to be a nagging voice in the back of his head. Use your powers. But he couldn't, because then he'd be just as bad as Dryden, and the one who killed his parents.

Dryden sat next to Aero, crossing his legs as if he hadn't just fried a person. "Hello, Chiseler."

he's gonna keep confusing people with Irish terms.//

Aero sighed, and hesitated before retracting his wings. "Hello," He said through gritted teeth, and shifted in his chair so that he was further away from Dryden "What do you want, exactly?"

"I'm less likely to kill people if I'm back here." He answered, turning his head ever so slightly to where he was staring into Aero's eyes, his own eyes turning a shade of red...

"You shouldn't be killing people at all," Aero said in a monotone. He then noticed Dryden's eyes turn red again, and flinched. He hoped he wasn't going to be fried to a crisp by lasers.

"Physcopath's can't control how many they kill." he started, his eyes turning a blood red completely. "It's something we are born having a craving to kill, we can't stop it. It makes us satisified, helps us feel complete." Dryden said and popped a sugar cube in his mouth.

Once everyone was on board, she idled the engine onto the runway. The control tower was silent, but she could imagine people running around frantically in the little station. She smirked and fired up the engine.

He yelled to the front, to no-name, "HOW LONG TO ZEALAND? I KINDA WANNA JUMP OFF AND STOP IN LONDON AND SEE THE BIG BEN, MEET YOU GUYS IN ZEALAND."

"Dryden!" She snapped, almost habitually, "Stop freaking people out!"

"No- London is the other way!"

Dryden groaned and cursed under his breath. "Ugh. Whatever, I like people fearing me! So what!" He said and stood up with one final look at Aero, flames went into his eyes before they went back solid black. He smiled and nodded his head. "Nice talk." He walked and sat next to no-name.

K!//

Dryden spotted the helicopter and immediately froze it with telekonesis and moved it to the ground. "Drop the plane, now!" he ordered no-name as he put a forcefield around him and dropped with the copter. Through his chip he sent Firestein the following message:
I've got your group, track my chip, I've got them under telekonesis, in a copter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the copter, Char screamed. "Dad! THATS DRYDEN!!!!!!! HE'S WITH FIRESTEIN!!!!!!" she screamed and tried to battle Dryden with her telekonesis, but his was MUCH stronger.

Aero crinkled his nose and glared at him. At that split second he wanted to use his powers worse then ever, and he would've of, if there weren't other people on the plane. His powers had to stay secret. His eye flickered to the window and he watched as they ascended into the sky.

(Sorry that I took so long to respond. I was watching a television show.)
(JOHN WATSON.)

(Aubrey, Aero, Sammy, Mikki, Dryden, and No-name, are on a plane that just left Hawaii after refueling and dryden "accidentally" killing someone.)

eta: actually there might be a few others but they havent been on lately.)

Aubrey crossed her legs and looked out a window. It was cool looking at the clouds, and she wished she could jump on them. Then they went though a cloud, and she felt bored again.

It's ok!//



Yep.//


Dryden watched as Char jumped out and looked into each other's eyes. "Nice to see you alive, sis." Dryden spit, venom dripping from his voice as he fought the battle against Char, their telekinesis battling, although he was winning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Char jumped out of the copter, still battling her brother. "Traitor!" she spat at him as they battled, ignoring his words.

The chicken on her lap looked out the window. It seemed boring, but he wasn't one to get bored, so he fell asleep on her lap.

No-name raised an eyebrow at the chicken, but said nothing. One chicken was alright, it was when there were fifty... "Alright." She said, clapping her hands together. "The place we need to go doesn't come with a landing strip, so we're going to have to jump out of a perfectly good plane."

Firestein glanced up from watering his plants when he noticed words forming on he screen. A smile spread across his face. "Well done, Dryden." He said to himself. Then he marched to the door, opened it, and peered at the guard standing just outside. "Get a squadron. We've got another batch to Silence."

Dryden closed his eyes for a second, and when he opened them his eyes were red. Blood red. He said quickly "I'm sorry sis." under his breath, then shot lasers exactly where he knew Char's chip was. She flew back into the copter. He used telekinesis to hold them all still, and waited for Firestein.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Char screamed when his lasers hit her, but she knew it was just her chip. She looked at him, he really was on Firestein's side..wasn't he? She watched as a blue ball went around them, and she knew they were trapped.

Aubrey realises what is going on. A Dorking hen flaps into Dryden's face. She didn't want to see his creepy bloody looking eyes. It scratches his face with all ten of it's toes with it's terror. Cause Dorkings have an extra toe on each foot.

(Vance asked Tayn what she wanted to say to Ash)

"Hey dad, how ya doin?" Dryden sarcastically called to his father, ignoring his little sister's glares.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Char glared at Dryden. "Dad!"

here you go lol:

not sure you saw this:


Tayn bit her lip not wanting to directly ask someone else to put themselves in danger.
"Maybe, if you can find them. tell them that Firestein is... The guy that kidnapped Noel and they are all in danger."

The plane flew on, nothing but ocean for miles as the sun slid it's last glow over the horizon. Most of the crew had fallen asleep. But something kept her awake. Her brow wrinkled with worry. Something at the back of her mind that she couldn't quite grasp. Dryden had left, but that wasn't anything unusual. What was it?
The first few stars poked holes through the black velvet that was the sky. How beautiful it was. And how quiet. But unsettlingly so.

Dryden sent her a message through his chip.
Caught group, will be with Firestein, be back later.
He kept the grasp on the helicopter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charlotte sighed. "Daddy?"

Blackness was in the window. Aubrey was bored. She fell asleep with her head against the window. The chicken had his eyes glazed over, and kept watch. Aubrey wished she was at home, and she could be, but she would not know where the plane would be if she came back. Her parents must be worried sick, but she didn't really care.

No-name checked the clock on the dash. It was getting close to midnight.

No-name flinched, then noticed it was just a chicken. She got up, and one by one, started waking the passengers. They would have to jump sometime, whether the plane had a pilot to land it or not.

(I knew that pen had a use! XD)

Crow opened his mouth to ask where they were going in the chopper, but Janet was already out of earshot. He quickly hurried after her, trying to catch up so he could ask his questions. I sure hope the others aren't getting cool swords without me...


Sammy listened silently, surprised that No-name seemed to actually have a sense of humor. In her experience, most thin ladies named No-name weren't really into humor.


(*pats back awkwardly* I feel your pain, CP....)

Crow sighed. "Well, I guess I will be going in the chopper," he muttered to himself, not wanting to have to trek all the way back to the underground city. He decided not to ask questions, as the chopper would drown out any words.

Sammy looked at No-name, realizing that she had just, once again, told Dryden to kill people. Great. Two psychopathic murderers.


(I love that quote. XD)





Sammy, who had never thought she would ever see people get murdered, was really regretting her decision to go on this mission. She shoved her hands in her pockets and found Ash's pen there. She fingered it absently, not realizing that it could help her escape.


Crow sat down next to Char, feeling disappointed. He was now absolutely sure that the rest of the group in Atlantis was practicing epic sword-fighting techniques. He gazed out the window sullenly, and blinked, surprised, as Char put a forcefield around the craft.

Mikki closed her eyes. Just jump. Let yourself fall. She was so used to her powers that they were reflex now, so this would be really hard.

Sammy was about to ask No-name where Dryden had gone when a sudden realization struck her. Her heart pounded faster and faster with excitement as a plan formed in her mind. Now that only No-name is here, we can overpower her and get away! Hopefully before Dryden gets back... She nudged Aubrey with her elbow. "Psst! Can you teleport other people? I need to know, quick!" she whispered, shooting glances at No-name.

Siiiiince it took me almost two hours to get this far




Ash existed in the plane.



I'll read the rest next time I hit a hotspot.
