I'm SUPER sorry I've been off, foaling season was insane, still is. Most of our mares foaled early. But um, could someone attempt to catch me up? Or at least explain a bit and tell me where I can jump back in?//

I think there's only about 30 pages of RP. Uh, new zealand group went inside the prison monitoring station..? I think that's what it might be called. there was a guy in there that didn't talk, he was a telepath, who seems to be helping chase (the guy you came here to catch) actually give me a few min. and I'll requote all of them there aren't many.

p754 is where it starts up again.

Chase crouched and stared at the dragon-girl chewing on the granola, then shot a glance at his penguin. The bird cocked it's head, issuing a soft churring sound. The man shrugged. Might as well ask. "Hey, um. What can you do?" He said, making a fluttering motion with his hand towards her person.
When she didn't seem to understand, his eyes bounced between her and the bird. "Like this." He said at last. Then disappeared.

Gabriel shrugged, I don't know what Chase is up to. I helped him once...
Then No-no piped up, clapping her hands together briskly, "Okay, kiddies! Time to go out in the jungle and hunt down a criminal! Who's ready?" She said with false enthusiasm.

Ash raised an eyebrow. It was blatantly apparent that No-Name wasn't at all buying even her own excitement. She's obviously lying. Ash tapped a single finger across the table with every internal declaration. She's nervous. She's uncertain. And she's certainty not treating this like an everyday joy. "Alright," Ash declared with a mimicry of faux brightness. "I'm ready."

Aero sipped his coffee and eyed Gabriel nervously before returning his attention to No-name. "This should be fun." He murmured sarcastically, "Tracking down a criminal..." he placed his coffee on a table and nodded at No-name.

(That sounds good to me. I was thinking that maybe he could be one of the Inhumans that they bust out of the Silence.)



I'll have to find a way of warning Chase. Mikki thought, then grinned and nodded, hoping No-Name hadn't noticed her fleeting look of dismay at No-Name's announcment. "Okay. I'm ready," she said, standing up. I'll try to talk later, she thought at Gabriel.

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.

As they followed No-Name, Mikki started to concentrate, sending her powers through the jungle, straining them to the limit, searching out Chase. Suddenly, she found him. Concentrating as hard as she could, she lifted him about a foot off the ground and tossed him away from the them. She repeated this two more times, wishing she was a telepath and hoping he would get the message: Run. Get away! She then glanced down at her phone in her hand. I'll text Gage as soon as I can, she promised herself.

Sammy stuffed the doughnut into her mouth and followed No-name out the door. "A breech? What-" She stopped as she realized No-name wasn't listening.

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?

Mikki nodded and set off (who wants to go with her?). As soon as she passed the line of trees she pulled out her phone and texted Gage. This has to be fast. Firestein is bad. I'm gonna try to warn the others, but I don't know if I can.

Aubrey isn't being used anymore

@Fanci Feathers Marans quick question: Once we`ve done this story, will we still do WCBH 2? (Their kids.)

(Sure, fam!)

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...

@Rubysword
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.

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?"

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.)

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.

"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.

(
I never fail to question television shows about something that doesn't make logical sense either. It's a problem of mine. XD)
Aero glanced up at her, cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He rose to his feet, and brushed off the dirt from his clothing, "Yeah, I'm fine." He said, smiling sheepishly. Then, he noticed No-name's receding figure, "We better catch up." He said, before breaking out into a sprint once again.

Ruby gaped as Chase was flipped around. "Uh.. Nope, definitely not me." She gasped as he grabbed her arm, about to pull away, but she went along with it as she heard more voices.

"Oh," Sammy squeaked awkwardly, then glanced at No-name's figure. "I think she might've found something." She then hurried after him, concentrating on not tripping over roots or smashing into trees.

(Just FYI, guys. The ''hibernation capsule" was just Ruby's old Bubble.)

Chase could only concentrate so much as he ran, and his invisibility flickered in and out. Over logs, thorns tearing at his clothes, spiderwebs clinging to his face and arms. If only they could get a little bit ahead they could hide!
He chanced a glance back at Ruby. Poor girl's legs were likely still wobbly "How are you doing?" He panted. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted her. The Nameless one.

Ruby ran evenly through the jungle, her energy keeping up with the strain very well. "Yup, I'm fine." she said.

The Nameless one flew after them, and Chase nearly cried out as a shot echoed through the woods. His heart leapt in his throat. Why didn't he have a weapon? A knife, at least!

"Yep," Mikki replied, smiling at Ash, "Sorry, I was just trying to text Gage." (@Fanci Feathers Marans) Then she frowned as the other girl flinched. "No, I didn't." She answered Ash. Then, on a hunch, she asked, "Was it a voice that kinda echoed in your mind, but felt more solid than your thoughts?"

@Rubysword

Chase stood rooted to the spot. More shots rang out, bullets whizzing past their ears. At once he grabbed her hand and pulled her down as he crouched, trying with all his might to concentrate. Tune out the fear. Ignore the death. Blend in.
The two of them were translucent at best when No-Name and the rest thundered up to them.

Gage felt his butt vibrate again, just as the car began to slow, and River's weird brother's eyes started to turn electric blue. He took the chance to pull out his phone. At least it was a flip-phone. Else it would have been cracked into next Tuesday by now. He opened it.
"Guys! It's Mikki."

Ruby crouched beside Chase, waiting for whatever was about to happen.

Gage shook his head, "I-it just says that Firestein is bad. I don't know how they figured that out." Then the elevator stopped, sending them all to their knees.

Silence.

Gage shook his head again, more vigorously this time. An electric spark came from somewhere in the roof, and soft elevator music began to play. "I think we made it." He said.

Chase hunched in the brush, trying to concentrate on hiding the both of them. Then the Nameless stopped. He could hear her panting. Almost feel her breath.
Don't focus on that. Think about anything else. Plants. Be the plant. Hide, Chase, hide.

"Okay. Ash, as you hopefully know, Firestein is bad. He's just using us to find this 'criminal' before he puts us in those bubbles. And the criminal isn't even a criminal! His name's Chase. I met him when I was stuck in that tree. He helped me. But No-Name and everyone else are out hunting them, and if they find him he might be forced to fight back. So we have to find him before they do. And lastly, are you scared of heights?"

Mikki texted, Firestein is using us to track down this guy named Chase that he says is a criminal but actually isn't. Then he's going to Silence us. I've told Ash, but the others still don't know that F is bad. We need help if possible!

Sammy panted as she ran after No-name, who had somehow grown wings. Add that to the list of advantages she has over us poor untrained adolescents.


She has a gun. Great. Sammy thought, trying to go faster, but only managing to trip over a branch. She got up, wincing because of her now-scraped knee.


Sammy stumbled up beside No-name, her hands on her knees as she panted for breath. She looked around, narrowing her eyes at a particular spot of undergrowth, which seemed hazy. She made a split-second decision, and with a racing heart, slowly positioned herself so she blocked the hazy spot from No-name's view, hoping she wouldn't notice.

Ruby focused on slowing her breathing, zoning in, noticing nothing but the people about to attack them.

Ash blinked at Mikki. Her usually composed brain whirled as she tried to process everything Mikki had just fired at her in a rambling whisper. "Well, it's been obvious since that psychopath dude started carelessly decapitating people that nothing here is legal or safe for anyone else or definitely not the...organization's...enemies," she eventually managed, draping herself over a low-lying tree limb that dipped and curved up again. She always found she thought better when she wasn't completely on her feet. "But I hadn't realized we ourselves were in danger. And, hold on, what?" She tipped even farther over the branch, kicking her heels up in a contrasting gesture of relaxation. "You've been in contact with Gage this entire time?" She cocked her head sideways as she began sliding back down toward the ground like a gravitationally-challenged monkey. "How come..." Ash silenced herself before the words formed. Ha. Prior escape. What a laugh that her mind would even have considered that. "Alright, so we're racing against a shapeshifting and our own allies to find an alleged criminal that's actually a victim. Does he by any chance utilize far-reaching telepathy?" She motioned to her head with a twist of her palm. Her ankles abruptly hooked over the branch as her face neared the ground and she hung facing Mikki, swinging methodically. "Tracking someone down....and heights?" In a literal blink, Ash had completely righted herself and soundlessly landed beside the older girl. "You've got the right accomplice."

@Rubysword

Chase's channeled his inner chameleon. Blend. Hide. But it was too late. He tried to scramble to his feet.

No-name grabbed his collar and pressed the gun to his head. "Don't. Move." She hissed. Those stupid kids had worked after all. She glanced back. "Hey! I could use some help over here!"

Aero skidded to a stop behind the pair, looking between No-name and Chase. That's it? That's the guy they came all this way to capture? He hestited in doing anything for a long moment, only staring dumbly. He doesn't look very dangerous, Aero thought, No, he must be dangerous... right? Then again, we did get this mission from a crazy dude that lives underneath a prison, and the shapeshifter isn't exactly trustworthy either. Suddenly, all his doubts about this mission came rushing over him and he did what any reasonable person would do in this situation. He flew into the sky and disappeared above the trees.

Ruby froze as the hostile person stuck a gun to Chase's head. Nobody really seemed to notice her. She backed up, analyzing the situation quickly. (So does somebody see her or can she jump on no-name?)

Sammy froze, she had no idea what to do. Is he really a criminal? Should I help him or No-name? Is she gonna kill him? If I try to fight No-name, she'll easily win... But she's pretty much proved herself to be evil, right? She stared wide-eyed at them, eyes darting back and forth between No-name and Chase. Her eyes then settled on the dragon girl. Wait a second, who's that?!


Sammy glanced over at Aero helplessly, as if seeking advice. When he turned around and flew away, she realized she now stood even less of a chance against No-name, if it did come to a fight.

(Was it a good idea to have Aero fly away? He'll be secretly following behind them back to the Silence, but still.)

ok I'm pretty sure that's all of it. in USA the battle with firestein and the inhumans ended. Misty has joined in with everyone, Grant was a soul sucking alien intending on eating misty. Maru killed him, Misty killed Maru infront of everyone. the Usa Group went to the police station to both rescue Janet and Barnes, and to track down firestein and make him "go away". Gage locked every one out of an elevator, and went after Firestein on his own. rex melted the door and a bunch of people jumped down the elevator shaft after him. they have just left the elevator (I think) Jayne who is one of Firesteins soldiers had been hanging out with the USA group after the battle has now gone off on his own to warn/help firestein Crow followed him and is in serious trouble. Tayn pulled a fire alarm and has gone down the stairs to look for Janet and barnes. Taylor and Silver may or may not have followed.

That should mostly catch you up.

(GUYS LET'S FUN, K?)

Gage got to his feet, albeit shakily. The place smelled of rust and something damp. The elevator music sputtered out, and silence fell so much that he could hear himself breathe.
"It's empty." He whispered at last.
Slowly, he shuffled toward the cells where they had been interrogated just days prior. "It seems so long ago... When we found Noel."

~~~

Meanwhile, the 'Noel' they had rescued had Chase by the throat.

Gabriel snuck up to a sphere and peeked inside to where a spider girl lay curled in on herself. Wakey wakey. He said, watching her shuffle as he did so, and grinned. How long had they waited for this day?
He tapped the control panel with a much-practiced code.

Tayn could hear the noise Janet was making but couldn't figure out which way it was coming from.

"Hello?" she called.


-------

(I didn't get a notification for this, sorry it took so long.)

"hmm," Jayne nodded in agreement. "But you're ok with killing Firestein? That's why you guys came here." Jayne frowned was it only Misty who had said that? "You realize it's my job to keep him safe," Jayne pulled his handgun and held it to Crows forehead, he wasn't sure why these kids had let him keep it, had he somehow earned their trust or were they just that disorganized that they didn't notice he had kept it? "and there's nothing you can do to stop me from doing my job." Jayne tensed, realizing he didn't want to hurt the kid. "Put your sword on the floor." He growled.
