*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[StarrNico]

( Sorry for the wait. I was thinking about this one.

)

Reaper flared his wings and short upwards as he caught an up draft to avoid the nets being fired at him. His tail however did get snagged in one of the highest aimed one. He flung his tail wildly to free it from its hold. The electricity radiated from his tail and surged upwards through his body. He focused a stream of concentrated acid at it in hopes it would free him before he hit the ground due to his wing rhythm being off from the jolts.

Storm knew well the devices they were using aginst him. He'd help make some of them with his father. The grenades in particular were of his design. He definitely avoided them. As far as the tranq darts, his crystalline scales deflected them easily. There were only two spots that were a kink in his natural armor. Every Dragon had its weaknesses that they guarded ferociously.

While the troops continued to shoot the electric nets at the acid dragon and the tranqs at Storm there were other creatures unloading from the tanker. Three of them headed for the cave to go after the mother and babies while three others took off to fly up after the two males. These were a strange combination, using Storm's DNA to grant wings and ice powers and some of the DNA taken from Estelle and Aurora and added to a chimera, giving them a scorpion's tail. They were smaller and younger than the adult dragons, but they were fast and could be deadly. Of the three that headed for the males, two went for Storm to grab his wings and force him down while the third grabbed a net, heading for Reaper's head to try to knock him out.

The other three headed for the cave, going in with some men and their electric net guns now that it was safer for them to do so. The humans would have to stay near the entrance, where the acid had been burned away, but the dragons would fly onward, deeper into the cave.

Fay nodded and vanished to get back to the group and find the dragon, only to see him in his dragon form. She smiled and walked over to him "Asclepius, we need your medical experience." She said, looking up at him and smiling because he was so glittery. It had been quite a while since his kind had felt free enough to show themselves in the daylight. She was almost sad to see him have to shift back so soon.

Anna nodded and went to get the water, going over to Fay when the goddess returned to give her the water bottles. 


Jason looked to Zypher then over to teh fae and dragons "Looks like everyone is ready to go now" He said then looked back to Zypher and offered his hand to shake "Good luck and let's win this war" 

Kellan looked to the golden dragon in awe for a moment before nodding "You are incredible" He agreed Yep, they had a lot of firepower on their side, he hoped it would be enough.
~~~

Sorcha shut the door after they were all out, putting a holding spell on it just in case. It wouldn't last long under attack, but it would give a few minutes and an alarm if it was breached. She smiled to Racine and held a hand out to walk with him back to the dungeons to finish the trap.
~~~
Foneth looked up at them as their focus all shifted to her. Oh. She smiled at Spyro's unintentional announcement and sat up then frowned a little and looked down. Hm, this would take some getting used to. "I did, didn't I?" She asked even as she tried to stand, using her wings to help keep her balance as she did "Two legs is not the same as four." She said, laughing even as she made that observation before looking to the males again. "Spyro, you should be able to shift at will now, just by willing yourself to your other form as Ender can do." Her eyes shifted to the others gathered there "Be certain to give yourselves enough space before you try to shift." 

Navar glanced back to the screens to make sure everything was still fine. He wondered where Markus was, but figured there wasn't a video feed to his office.
~~~
Zypher took Jason's hand gladly and gave it a firm shake. "Same to you, Jason. May the Valkyries favor us and have vengeance for our enemies." He said with conviction.

(Waiting on Bantambird's reply. )

Racine twirled softly as he took Sorcha's offered hand for their trip back to the dungeons.
~~~
Ender saw her struggle to gain her feet and rushed forward, "Allow me to assist you, Foneth. " He said helpfully as he reached down to her.

Spyro fumbled with his balance and sat down on his hunches and thought about his Sylph form. In a flash, he was sitting on on his wings on the ground. He yelped in pain from the odd angle of his wings. He rolled and stood up immediately. "Mental note: don't sit while you shift." He said with humor as he shook out his wings.

The others laughed slightly as the spread out to practice with their shifts.

Storm stared with confusion as the hybrids joined the battle. He tried to blast the two who came at him, but his ice breath had no effect. It was easy enough to figure out why as they got closer. While looking to them, a anti magic grenade caught him unaware, allowing the more nimble dragons to gain purchase upon his wings. He was like an aerial bronco trying to shake them off with every move he thought would work. But the more he tried, the tighter they clung to him with their stingers effectively slipping underneath the armor plating of his scales to the soft vulnerable skin beneath. While their teeth shattered the scales and compressed his muscles of his his wings. He continued to struggle to just stay in the air. His magic now drastically depleted by the grenade. His only change was his physical strength, but that was waning fast. As exhaustion was magnified by the effects of the venom making its way into his bloodstream. His altitude declined slowly despite his struggles to the contrary. He roared in defeated as his tail and hind legs felt the unyielding ground first.

Reaper had his own struggles. Where his movement was drastically impeded by the electrified net dangling from his tail. He glared at the newcomer and hissed angrily. He resolved himself to his only viable option, he had to land and confront this new threat head on. Upon doing so, he used the debris wo clear the net from his tail and pick it up and flung it at the other dragon hybrid with an acid stream chaser.

(This is what Storm looks like. )

Asclepius gasped "a task for me already? I feel really special now!" He intoned with a deep, musical voice, his whiskers rippling. " Whom am I to follow?"

Slygotha's​whole body tensed as she saw 3 dragonkin fly into her den, treading over HER nest. They were obviously searching for something. She lay burrowed under the hoard, her teeth gritting. She HATED the though of those oafs touching HER gold. Despised it. Loathed it. She wanted to burst from under and rip out their throats, but she knew waiting would be better, at the moment. Let them get closer, so she could be sure to kill at least one. Her scent lay all over the cavern, and the smoke from the burning sulfuric based acid should cause extreme discomfort to the lungs of most anyone. Her eyes narrowed with burning desire. She knew they would violate her hoard.

( Asclepius!)

( Asclepius!)

That's a very big dragon!
