Ash froze up as No-Name divvyed her off from Aero and Sammy. But I don't even know... She took a pace backward, coming up alongside of her sole remaining companion, Mikki. "Guess it's you and me, then," she murmured awkwardly as the other group made no time in setting off.


Ash lagged behind Mikki, well aware that she was communicating with someone and giving her the rightful girth of space. I just wonder who...maybe Sammy or Aero have a phone they've been hiding and she's checking up on them....maybe.


...She wants magnolias...

Then Gage's butt vibrated.

Chase scrambled up for the second time to hear something crashing through the forest towards them.

"I heard something over there!" Someone called.

Then Chase grabbed the dragon girl's arm and disappeared.

I'm right behind you. Came a voice in Ash's head.

 

[HeavensHens88]

I'm right behind you. Came a voice in Ash's head.

Ash flinched as though she'd been physically touched. But I wasn't even listening to the wind...and this voice somehow sounds...more concrete than the whistles of a breeze...but it wasn't a normally spoken statement...or was it? She hurried up alongside Mikki, stuffing her hands in her pockets somewhat nervously. "Did you hear that?"

She rolled her eyes, adjusted the pistol on her hip, and strode out the door. Hopefully this would be easier with so many eyes. Whether those eyes had any training or not. Hopefully Firestein's theory was right. Noble could have easily killed the kids, yes, but we're they all so weak toward these children?
No sooner was she out the door than sirens sounded. No-name had already broken off into a sprint. Breech in quadrant 47 came a robotic voice.

No-name froze at the hibernation pod, the same one that she had paused at earlier. For a fleeting moment she felt relieved. She shook her head. No, stay on track. She shunned herself. Her eyes flicked to the nearest patch of jungle, then back to Sammy and Aero. "I want two groups. One to the East and West. If you find anything suspicious, shout." She ordered, "Fire-girl and bat-boy, you come with me." She said, then took off for the perfect line of trees.


Chase cried out as an invisible force plucked him up and threw him against a trunk. He stared at the dragon girl in horror. Was she doing this? No sooner had he scrambled to his feet than he flew up again, this time skidding into the gravel. What was going on?

Aero hurried after No-name, probably faster than he should have, which almost resulted in him tripping over his own feet. He caught himself before falling, and continued sprinting. He glanced back at the Silence, torn between staying there and investigating what the fuss was about a 'Breech in quadrant 47', but figured he should keep an eye on the untrustworthy shapeshifter instead. While running, a gust of wind blew past them, catching his wings and sending him flying backwards before landing on his back on the forest floor.
(New Zealand is very windy, I just remembered.)

(And here we have someone who actually gives a flying flip as to whether her posts make logical sense. Such beings are few. )

Sammy followed, but not before inspecting the pod. I wonder what they use these for...? Maybe for inhumans that don't follow directions. She joked to herself, but, looking at the other inhumans, she could almost believe it..

Maru laughs, he pulls himself out of Tayns grip and flips, he kicks the gun out of Rivers hand and knocks her to the ground. He then jumps back, kicks the heavy Changeling body off Misty and picks her up roughly by her wrists, dangling her about a foot from the ground.

Crow's hand instantly went to his sword, but he was afraid of what Maru might do if he pulled it out.

Slowly, deliberately, Gage moved his feet. One in front of the other, towards the snake man. And Misty.

"Let her go." Tayn growled in warning.

River grabbed the gun and jumped up, backing up several steps "You are Maru. What do you want her for?"

Gage had no armour or weapon, yet somehow he felt protected as he neared the deadliest thing he knew. The warriors lay strewn about on the ground, the very ones he owed his life to, and yet he kept his eyes straight ahead. Though Maru was before him, he almost seemed to look past that.

Jayne frowned up the alleyway, things were getting weird. He glanced over at Crow and then pulled a hand gun out from a hidden holster under his jacket, Took aim and fired. Hitting the strange snake man mid torso (from behind)

Crow looked at Jayne in alarm as the bullet didn't seem to have any effect on the snake-man. I wonder how many times I'd need to stab him to kill him...

Thomas stood at his sister`s side. He glared at Maru. His eyes began to glow blue, and his hand did too, blue balls of light forming in his palms "Drop her now!"

Misty's head hangs, her wings drooping and her hair shadows her face. No point fighting, when theres no one to live for. She then hears someone squeak something, she slowly looks up and sees Gage, hes staring at her, with the same fear in his eyes that she has. He then starts walking towards them, something clicks in her mind. Gage has been with me through everything good and bad, he always tried to comfort me and I always help him. Something tears through her fear her pain her loss.. she wriggles in Maru's grip kicking and punching. A roar tears through her lips I WONT LET YOU KILL ANYONE ELSE!!
She flips and kicks Maru square in the jaw, she lands in front of Gage, and holds out her hand. Light seeming being summoned into her hand..

He blinked slightly offset. "W-What are you doing?" He said, eyes darting from her to Maru and back. "And where did you get wings-"

More and more light collects in her hand and a longsword forms, elegant and perfectly crafted. She looks back at Gage, and smiles at him, she then faces Maru, "Im done with you Maru, Im done with your murders, your torture, your lies. Im done, you're done with this world, you need to go back to hell where you crawled out of go back to the demons you spawned from you maggot ridden cunning lying viper!" She raises the sword and rushes at him, stabbing him with the sword. Maru cries out in pain and jumps back, he tries to heal the wound with black magic but it only makes it worse, Misty stabs him a hundred fold, with each blow him becoming mroe and more helpless. Finally he lays on the ground black blood pouring everywhere, he kneels in his own blood, more black blood dripping from his eyes and mouth. Misty approaches him, the light sword slick with black demon blood, she puts the sword to his throat and he looks at him, "Say hi to Satan for me" She says then cuts him in half.
(taking shower brb)

Thomas was rooted to the ground, horror written on his face.
~~~
River seemed more chill than her brother, but she did have a stunned face "What just happened?" She whispered

(oh right her...) Tayn sat in the pool of blood spreading across the pavement. Staring dumbfounded at the corpse.

Misty turns to face her friends black blood drips off her clothes and sword, her heavy breathing slows down to a normal rate and she sees the horror on her friends faces. "Im sorry Ive caused so much trouble guys, but the threat to the entire earth has been eliminated", she looks back at Maru "for good." she looks at Gage, she drops her sword and runs at him, she tackle hugs him and buries her face in his chest, tears welling in her eyes. Slowly she wraps her wings around him and cries, "Im so sorry for putting you through this Gage, I know you would risk your life for me, and I would too. I love you."

Crow just stared at her in shock. "You- you made a sword." He stuttered, then looked at Jayne. "Did you see that? That sword..."

Thomas' hand crossed her vision snapping her back to the present. Tayn looked up at him and then took his hand pulling her self up. She felt her eyes drawn toward Misty but looked away, looking at anything else but her and Maru.

Tayn blinked at him and considered answering, but decided she shouldn't speak. If she did she was going to laugh at his question or cry uncontrollably. She shook her head no.

Thomas nodded silently. His eyes went back to Maru`s body, he hadn`t seen anything like that since his parents death.

(I like how he completely ignores the giant insect body. XD)

Gage stumbled back from the hug, and at once felt a mix of raw fear and delight rise in his throat. When he at last got his bearings, he folded his shoulders around Misty, burying his face in her hair. I thought I'd lost you, he wanted to say, though tears forbade him.him wings wrapped around his own, his breath caught in his throat. He pulled back and gingerly tipped her head so their eyes could meet. He was sure his face looked a mess. Red, stained with tears, and lined with the grimace of crying. Why did he still feel like a child?

"What- what about Grant?" He whispered as best he could.

Misty's face contorts in pain, "he's- hes's gone, Maru tried to tell me when he had me to himself but I wouldnt listen. I wish I did now, maybe it would be less painful if I accepted it." She looks back at the Changelings corpse, and gasps, the weapon that Maru killed the Changeling with.... Is Grants broadsword, Misty wrenches herself away from Gage and stumbles over to the sword, she pulls it out of the Changelings body with a slithering sound of metal cutting flesh. She places it in her lap and stares at it, the blood red blade covered in bright green insect blood, her breathing becomes ragged as memories flood her mind. Memories of Grant and the others, laughing as we all hung out together, Grant and Wolf always got into a fight but in the end they always laughed. Grant would always protect the girls, especially me from Aiden's pervy nature. Misty lets out a pained laugh and begins to cry over the sword, "I wont forget you guys, never I will always love you and I will always remember you guys." She looks up at the sky and stares at the stars, they flicker in amusement, but she sees sudden movement and a blue comet passes the sky, seeming to smile at her. "Thanks Wolf," she smiles and gets up. "Lets end the reign of Firestien" she murmurs to the others.

It might well have been the longest hug anyone had ever given him, but it still tugged at his heart when she let go. The way she hunched over that sword... He wished he could do something. Bring Grant back if he could, for her sake.

Gage watched her as she tipped her head back, and still couldn't help but think that he wasn't enough.

But she was right. They had to find Firestein. What would happen if they did- it made his stomach turn.

Then Gage's butt vibrated.

River watched the others calmly, but inside two totally different emotions fought to take hold. Terror of the up coming battle and joy that she finally had friends, and not just a friend, but a group of friends. But another thought slowly crept into her mind- one that they would all die in the battle and leave her again. She shivered and tried to push the thought from her mind, but couldn`t. Her eyes traveled over the group, then paused on the ones she knew best Zen, Tayn, Gage, and Misty. Then her eyes turned to Thomas and Jayne, yes Thomas was her brother but still, he had just been brain-washed. And she knew nothing of Jayne, how could she trust them?

"So... this isn't Grant?" Crow asked hopefully, though by the way Misty was talking Crow guessed that Grant had never been with them at all. I... I never even met him.

"Are you okay?" Sammy asked, pausing in her sprinting. She looked down at him, wondering why he didn't just tuck his wings in while he ran.
