The Forsaken Era

[nrocha20]

The Forsaken Era

This is an alternate reality, the date is December 26, 2038 AD

Quick History

During July 2011, things started going crazy in the states. Riots broke out due to the economy getting worse and worse. Soon the entire world started fighting, the people couldn't accept the changes that were taking place. When December 26, 2012 hit, the world was in mass hysteria. Everyone was blaming each other. The populations sense of security vanished and military bases were being set up everywhere. When every living creature at US Military base C36 in Alaska were killed (eaten alive). The population started to realize that there was a new threat to their safety. Towns, Bases, Cities, and Metropolises fell due to this unknown threat. The last of the US government was able to figure out what was doing this when they gathered up the rare survivors and questioned them. They found out that these special creatures (now called Devil Kin) that have no flesh (think fleshless creatures that kind of look like the ones from "I am Legend", but fleshless, and has claws and razor sharp teeth) and swarm from what is apparently, no where. The western half of the world fell into a wasteland because of its years of squabbling. Some of the East was able to unite under an evil society called the Empire of Arcane. The southern regions of the world were taken by another unknown enemy who apparently lack sensation. They are called the Necro. (Necro means death in Greek)

Play

The concept really matters on who you are, and what faction you belong to.

There are three types of tribes: One, the domination tribes, the domination tribes want to dominate the world. Very simple. Please note that the Cheyenne is a domination tribe. Two, the healer tribes think the world is sick, they think they can utilize the energy of green Necro to heal the planet. They are desperately gathering as much Green Necro that will be willing to cooperate to energize a massive machine that sits in the center of the ONLY shielded city built by a tribe, the city of New Tenochtitlan. Three, the Survivalist Tribes, they believe that if they survive long enough the Devil Kin and Necro will go away. Please note that the Tomahawk is a survivalist Tribe. Chiefs rule tribes, if you are in a tribe. You will be given your quests by them. (Ill PM you) If you are in the tribes, you will start out in the Cheyenne (West), Tomahawk (South), or Rebels (East).

The Arcane Empire is trying to fight the apocalyptic creatures (Devil Kin) off. they believe that the Devil Kin have to be appearing from SOMEWHERE. So they use satellite technology to pinpoint nearby swarms. When they catch one starting to appear, they send soldiers down to investigate. Only once have they found something, deep in the bio lab in the Arcane capitol of Jerusalem, is a captured Devil Kin. Each city is ruled by a mayor, if your in the Arcane Empire you will stat out in Jerusalem (East), Rong (South), or Ming (West). You will get your quests from Mayors (PM).

The Necro can either be part of a tribe (if they can hide their nature), be part of the Necro Union, be in little groups with other Necro, or be lone wolves. Necro in tribes simply carry out their objectives in that tribe without being caught using their powers. Necro used to be normal Felines or Canines, but now have a special power, and a noticeable scar where they were bitten. If you are a tribal Necro look at the tribes paragraph above. If you are a lone wolf Necro look at the paragraph below. Necro in the Union will get their quests from the Almighty Mystics (PM). Necro that are part of nothing, but are in a group of other Necro (you could call it a Necro Tribe) will get their quests from the group leader. (PM) What the Necro are searching for SHOULD be obvious, but if not it will be revealed later in the game.

Lone wolves are simple, you can start wherever you want. And you will receive quests by PM. Please note that lone wolves don't always have to be alone. They can have one or two people with them and not qualify as a tribe. Lone wolves can have their own objectives, if your a lone wolf, remember to state what your ultimate goal is.

Races

Felines: Basically the humans in this alternate reality. They are humanoid except for specific catlike features, such as fur, tails, claws, and a catlike face structure (yes, that includes the ears). Due to their years of trying to survive their toppled world, the Felines survival instinct is more dominant their consciouses. In some Felines, their survival instinct is so powerful they are constantly feeling the pain of adrenaline. After a burst of a adrenaline a feline is either to weak to fight or unconscious. Please note that the Felines are ripped off from the DQ RPG "War of the Divinians". Permission has been granted by Silitor.

Canines: Canines have always lived in their underground cities and bases. So when the world began to tumble, they simply stayed underground. Canines are very strong, not smart, but strong. Because of their safety they do not have bursts of adrenaline. What every Canine knows though, is weapons. Every Canine can use any weapon (unless weapon is bound to a different owner), Canines have the power to increase a certain attribute to their weapon. This will cost them a good chunk of their strength though (temporary).

Devil Kin: The Devil Kin are unplayable. They appear out of no where in swarms that very in size. In their bite they have venom, venom that ( if not kills you) will do one of two things to you. One, it may tear you to shreds and each shred will morph into a Devil Kin. Or two, you may be have been born after the Devil Kin started appearing and your immune system MAY (but most likely may not) have adapted to the poisons that surround them. If you get bit with a good immune system the toxins will mealy make you lose your sensation and make you tougher. Basically you will become a Necro.

Necro: You can start out as a Necro, or you can later be bitten by a Devil Kin (that will only work if you were born AFTER December 26, 2012). The Necro mainly roam the South and East. They have no sensation, this means they feel nothing. Necro also have the power to manipulate certain types of energy which gives them special powers, especially the mystics. But these energy's also effect the Necro's personality (this is why most of them are evil). Also the Necro CANNOT use guns of any sort, just Medieval weapons such as swords, maces, axes, bows, the works. The reason for this is because they cannot feel, they do not know the right way to hold a gun. All the Necro seem to want to do is kill. You may put an emphasis on "SEEM". If you are Necro, please state if you are Canine or Feline Necro, this only matters in looks, nothing more.

Surviving Societies

The Tribes: Basically those who are in tribes. The two largest tribes are the Cheyenne, and the Tomahawk. Anyone can start their own tribe with two or more people, ore you can be a lone wolf, or you can simply join a tribe. People in tribes are those who either refused to join the Arcane empire, or the westerners. Tribes are usually nomadic. This is available to Felines, Canines, and even any Necro that can hide their power or convince others of their goodness.

The Arcane Empire: They are an evil war based society. But for a world such as this that's perfectly fine.They use plasma technology to create giant barriers around their cities. This is available to any Eastern or Southern Felines and Canines.

The Necro Union: The Necro Union is a group of Necro that, instead of killing or wandering at random, seem to have a goal of some sort. They are situates more in the south, and use the ruins of older cities as their havens. This Society is only available to Blue, Red, or Yellow Necro. The Necro Union is ruled by the Almighty Mystics, three of them. One red, one blue, and one yellow.

Lone Wolves: Lone Wolves are simply those who travel alone. Available to all.

Location

Location reflects where you start out, and what other people will think of you. It only reflects where you are if your Necro.

West: Felines and Canines that start out in the west will encounter a lot less Necro, but will be hated and rejected by the Arcane Empire. Westerners are more acceptable by tribes to.

South: Felines and Canines that start out in the south will encounter a lot of Necro, but will be accepted by the Arcane Empire. They are neutral with the Tribes.

East: Felines and Canines that start out in the East will encounter an average amount of Necro, are more acceptable by the Arcane Empire, but will be rejected by most tribes.

Adrenaline (Felines only)

Adrenaline is for Felines only, you can choose what type of adrenaline bursts you will receive in certain times. You can have one burst a week.And remember after a burst you had better get somewhere safe and fast because you WILL be rendered to weak to fight or unconscious.

Strength: An incredible burst in strength. Useful for those who want to bash their way out of trouble. Please note that Canines are always ABOUT this strong.

Speed: An incredible burst in speed. Great for hasty retreats.

Intelligence: For those who want to be able to quickly think of a way out of a situation.

Bravery: Bravery can be just what you need if you have the right stuff and people with you. If you don't it can just be a suicidal move.

Accuracy: Never miss your mark... unless of course your so stupid you fire upward to hit a target three feat away from you. Accuracy is best for snipers or archers.

Weapon Attribute (Canine only)

Power: Gives the weapon a more powerful shot/hit.

Accuracy: Same as the Felines Adrenaline "Accuracy"

Ammunition: Only suggested for those who are gunners. Gives you unlimited ammo for a gun. You still have to reload though. But it makes reloading faster.

Endurability: Makes the weapon unbreakable and makes it to wear it does not have to be cleaned or maintained in any way.

Laser: Unless already a LaZer weapon. It lets the weapon shoot laser bullets, they will have more of a success rate at going through your target. If a melee weapon, it will give it laser edges, that makes it able to cut through things better. (Not lightsaber type cutting though)

Energy (Necro Only)

Mystic or not, all Necro has a certain type of energy. This energy comes in four colors.

Green energy is good. It gives the Necro the ability to heal by using the energy of nature. Basically your sucking nature dry. Green energy effects the users personality by making it care for other beings.

Blue energy is also good. It uses the energy from water to give the user the ability to walk on and breath under water! Blue energy effects the personality be making them hostile toward most land creatures.

Red energy is bad, most Necro have this energy. It gives the user the power to use energy from any living animal to form a melee weapon, the bigger the energy, the more powerful the weapon. Some weapons you can even give power to. Like making a sword slash out a beam that can cut through steal.

Yellow energy is bad to, it allows you to use sunlight as an energy source to send out a beam of power. The more energy you absorb, the more powerful the beam.

Classes

Snipers: Snipers are good for sniping, assassinating, lookout, and scouting. If your real good you can be a lone wolf as a sniper. But its suggested you start out with comrades. Snipers can be Felines or Canines.

Pilots: Whether it be a plane, military vehicle, civilian vehicle, or mech. A pilot can drive it. Ships to if you want to take that risk (the seas are very dangerous in this RPG). Available to Felines or Canines.

Gunner: Gunners can use any type of gun. Although you might prefer guns like shotguns or assault rifles. Gunners are OK when it comes to being a lone wolf. Available to Felines and Canines.

Varied: This is probably best for lone wolves, your not the best at everything. But you sure can do everything! Available to all.

Medics: Medics use medical supplies to heal Allys or themselves. A green Necro medic can even bring people back to life, although that is very dangerous. Available to all.

Intelligence: The best for stakeout, intelligence are quick thinkers. And since they aren't very strong, they are pretty quick on their feet. Available only to Felines.

Demolitions: Demolitions experts can use any type of explosive. Demolitions experts are the brightest Canines around, since they have to be able to make the most out of one bomb. Available only to Canines.

Knights: Powerful Dark armor. Swords that (with the right strength) can cut through a tanks armor. And a shield that deflects (not Reflects) bullets. To bad its close range. Available only to Necro.

Archers: Same as knight, just no shield, no sword. Just a bow. Arrows can be upgraded to fire, poison, bomb, or anything else you can fit on it. Necro can use their energy to make arrows, basically meaning they will not run out of arrows until they run out of energy. Available only to Necro.

Mystics: The mystics are Necro that have more mastery over their energetic abilities. Green Mystics can raise the dead as a zombie army (it takes time to work up to that though). Blue Necro can control water. Red Necro can make better weapons from little creatures then a normal Necro could, they can even start sucking energy from the creature while its moving. Yellow Necro controls light in not just more powerful beams. But they can create flashes and anything else you put your creativity to.

Equipment

Weapons

Weapons are in two large categories: ranged and melee.
Ranged weapons go in these categories: Assault rifles, LMG's, SMG's, Shotguns, grenade launchers, rocket/missile launchers, bows (that includes crossbows), sidearms, sniper rifles, and energy cannons.

Melee weapons are the simple swords, maces, axes, ect... all the medieval type weapons. And some modern ones such as bayonets.

Note: There are Laser guns, they are called LaZer guns because they were manufactured by a company called the LaZer corporation. There is a LaZer gun for each gun type (Ex LaZer Assault rifle.), there is even an upgrade for crossbows that makes the arrows shoot as LaZers.

Armor

Armor is in three very simple types: Light armor, armor that will help in defense but will not defend against much, you will start out with this type of armor. Medium Armor, armor that will defend against quite a bit of attackers, it can even take the entire clip of a BAR, Knights start out with this armor. Heavy Armor, the most powerful type armor. Some pieces of heavy armor can even deflect energy beams.

NOTE: Suggested by Silitor the weapons and armor are made up by you. What they look like, and its general statistics. (Except for the LaZer weapons) These are simply the types of equipment.

Rules

Same as "War of the Divinians":

Rules:
No being too powerful
No triggering of story elements unless I ask or agree to let you.
No controlling of time. (Be patient)
Post frequently.
No killing other people’s characters unless they really don’t mind.
At most, try not to kill them but wound them a lot. Or best, try not to engage each other at all. (in phase 1 at least, in phase 2 it is inevitable)
Don’t. Be. An. Ass. (Duh)
People who don’t post in a week in story arcs will be kicked. (unless you’re on holiday or something, then please ask someone to help you control or the story arc can’t move on. so please give notes when you are not going to post for awhile, exams or something etc.)

Age/Birthday: 17/July 22, 2021
Faction: Tribes
Location: West
Class: Pilot
Adrenaline: Intelligence
History: Martin has always lived under the Cheyenne tribe. He was taught to shoot and survive at the age of 10. These teachings led on till he turned 16 and was allowed to choose a branch in the Cheyenne army. His father wanted him to be a gunner, to fight along side his father. But throughout Martins life he always loved to drive. He has, since age 12, snuck out of his home every night to drive his fathers old fashion Humvee. So when he was given the choice Martin chose to be a pilot of an ATC (Armored troop carrier). That way he would still be able to be near his father. Martins father still has not forgiven him for his choice. Martin wears green glasses that completely cover his eyes when he pilots vehicles, they are on his head when hes not. Martin wears a classic pilot suit (light armor) whish is basically a leather outfit completely black. Martin also has black fur and a patch of white fur around his eyes. The only weapon Martin carry's is a .45 Handgun.

(I only have two problems: You need a first or last name to go with Rainor, If you cant think of any just take more off Starcraft and call him Jim. Also, the Devil Kin don't have scouts, they just appear out of nowhere and attack. Other then that, your pretty much clean)

[rainor]

(Well lets say that before they attack they send SOMEONE to see if there ACTUALLY IS something there.Or if that doesn't work i will just edit and say it was an surprise attack.And maybe tommorow i will have something more creative as an name because it's a bit late for thinking names.But i will try think of something.)

[nrocha20]

(Why dont you just make it to where its the Necro who attack? They are actually smart enough to have scouts)

[rainor]

(Didn't think of that.Thanks)

Energy: Green (but she doesn't overly care)
History: Hanaki is a feline girl with blonde hair and red eyes. She's a necro who was bitten at the age of three in her parents house during a raid. Although the bite was intended to save her life, the venom causes her fur to fall out before it starts growing (except for her ears and tail.) She's 5'4" and has an attitude problem. She gained green energy when she turned Necro and since has been caring for many who come her way. Don't let the attitude fool you. She really does worry.

This is a physical image of what I think she would look like:

He is almost 6" tall in his black armor, has a messy hairstyle, red eyes, and black fur.

[nrocha20]

(Nothing is really wrong with the way you described yourself other then probably the armor, it needs to be in the medium armor range. But with the way you described your character, I just want to remind you that just because your Necro, doesn't meen your superman. You can be killed by even one powerful enough Feline or Canine. You dont really need to change anything other then the armor, make it something like heavy STEEL.)

(EDIT: by how many people are joining we MAY start tonight...)

[Vracer]

(So can we just start spinning a yarn?)

[nrocha20]

(I wanna wait for one or two more people, and you can start planning how your gonna start out. Ill give the green light when its time to go. Remember that your probably no going to meet each other in the RP for quite some time.)

[Vracer]

(OK. I'll plan ahead.)

[Vracer]

(Nice character.)

[shadow_strike]

(Why thank you, thank you very much)

[Vracer]

(You're very welcome. Hope to see you later in the game.)

[nrocha20]

(you people and your constant goal to be badass! You will most likely die, in this wold alone btw.)

(Shadow2, from what I can see, your clean)

(Vracer, I have two more things to say. I forgot to tell you your birthday is off with your age. The current date is December 26, 2038. And also stop posting unnecessarily)

[shadow_strike]

(It's a good thing that I just do stuff if I get paid enough. I don't wanna be good but yet I don't wanna be evil. Being a theif and spy seemed good enough)

[Vracer]

(How is it off? If I was born in 2020, I would be 22 in 2042.)

(So I'm 18 then?)

[nrocha20]

(yes, im waiting for someone who was invited to come in before starting)

[Silitor]

(Lol my name is metioned like, three times or more in the starting post xD)

Name: Pariah Joseph
Sex: Male
Race: Necro
Age/Birthday: 21, Unknown date.
Faction: The Necro Union.
Location: West.
Class: Knight.
Energy: Green.
History: Joseph Kudvrakya was just a normal Feline living life to its fullest in this war-torn era. He was very good friends with all his villagers, and was very well liked. One day however, his whole village was ravaged by the Devil Kin, they left none alive. But when they came to Joseph and bit him, he retained his conciousness for a few moments, then lost it. It seemed he was bit by a more 'special' Devil Kin, they called him the silver fang, as it's fangs were a bright silver. Later, at an unknown date, Joseph awoke from his coma to find himself unchanged. His appearance had not changed, but his mindset lusted for blood. And his hands could use powers he had never imagined. He could raise the dead and create swords from them. Amazing. However, his humanity had corroded but he retained his ability to talk. He would need it if he were to find the one who did this to him.

Joining the Necro Union, Joseph thought he would be able to find the Silver Fang easier inside an organisation, but the other necros have degenerated much more than he has, and most of the missions they send him on are to kill, kill. And.. Kill. There's nothing different, but he might get some leads on the silver fang.

He obtained his equipment from a human he killed. A suit and tie, steamed long pants, thin, frameless glasses and tamed, spiky hair. His eyes were a deep hazel and his chin was rigid. His brow was regal and he had a sharp nose. He was actually very dashing for one with a heart so black. He carried nothing else.

[pvt tony]

(I changed my pistols, and... when do we start? It seems to be complete :))

[nrocha20]

(Oh THATS what you meant... ya, I dont believe that would really be fair... just be one of the two classes you picked and only one of the two energies, and Silitor I thought YOU of all people would NOT be a lone wolf! Jeez... its k though, everything else looks fine and dandy)

[Silitor]

(lol. Everyone's a lone wolf. Anyway, I just got an idea. Changing sheet. What's so good about being alone anyway. I wonder if anyone knows why I named my guy Pariah xD)

[K.T.O_o]

(No idea. But then, I really have trouble figuring things like this out.)

[nrocha20]

"So this is your first time driving an APC into real action?" a Cheyenne Gunner said to Martin, the driver, as he ducked to enter the cramped Armored Personnel Carrier.

"Yep." Martin replied with his green glasses covering his eyes.

"You know this isn't a lesson right? This is a REAL raid." The Gunner continued as he sat down between two exceptionally larger soldiers.

"That's pretty easy to tell after that long, boring, briefing." Said Martin as he climbed into the drivers seat.

The gunner looked scared for his life as the back hatch slowly came to a shut. He was even twiddling with his cat-like tail. The APC was cramped and old fashion, but heavily armored and not to bad on speed and distance per gallon (dpg). Most of the gunners were buff, experienced soldiers, half of them with non caring expressions on their faces, and the other half scared to death about the new driver. Martin put the APC in gear and sped out of the military garage and through the dirt road making so tight turns it was swinging even Martin who actually HAD a seat belt. The gates were just opening to release the four APC's that were heading to raid a nearby Arcane faculty, when Martin drove right through the barely opened gates, making scratched on the sides of the APC. At this point ALL the battle hardened soldiers were huddling in fear. By the time the other three APC's made it to the gate, Martin was a mile a head. He decided to spare the Gunners and slow down to about 50mph to look down at his GPS. He noted that he was heading in the right direction to the faculty. After checking He saw that the rest of the way there was on rocky and steep terrain. So, Martin simply smiled and pressed the gas peddle as far down as it could possible go. Martin had already noticed a ramp shaped rock, that might just carry the APC across a worryable sized ditch. Martin was about to clear the ramp when he saw a flashing red light on the GPS. Even the computer thinks Im doing something stupid. That alarm only goes off if there is a threat to the APC and everyone in it. he thought as the APC left the ramp shaped rock. Martin was just sitting there emotionless as a 5 ton armored vehicle filled with screaming gunmen cleared the ditch. As it landed Martin's emotionless state was broken and he started laughing.

"That was amazing!" Martin laughed while the nearest gunner looked at him as if he were a psychopath. The APC was only going at a speed of 20mph when the faculty came into view.

"Alright! Driver! Stop and let us out so we can comense with the operation!" Said the gunner he talked to earlier. The faculty had 20 fot high chain link fence around a large tank factory and a sniper tower. There were about 20 guards outside, two snipers in the tower, and a tank in the front of the building.

Martin smiled and yelled, "No way! Its time to see what this baby can REALLY do!" After that he slammed his foot on the gas peddle, yet again, and all the gunners behind him started screaming.

[rainor]

(I can imagine what will happen next <- to nrocha20)(I'm using the DoW:soulstorm image of an necro)
It was night. That was the good news the bad ones were that rainor heard something that didn't sound like an wild animal. It could be anything it could be an necro,some devil kins,felines or it could even be an fellow canine. He went to see what is there. "I hope it's nothing"But i hoped wrong. I was something strange,something i've never seen before. It was half necro-half human his skin began to fall, and the green energy within him started to glow more powerfull every second. There was only one solution, i took my sniper and aimed for the head. BOOM.Suddenly for a moment every thing was quiet, i could actually relax, i looked at the landscape, it was almost desertic,there were some ruins of buildings in the sand. But that silence didn't last long suddenly 20 more necro apeared in front of me. Because i coudn't run i decided to fight.I holsterd the sniper and took the shotgun.With 10 good aimed shots it was all over. "They will sure come to see what happend so i'd better run as far as i can". As i was running i saw an vehicle. "WTF?A vehicle?"i sayd. "HEY YOU IN THE VEHICLE.HERE!!!HERE!!!. The vehicle stopped. This is my lucky day. "Or not" the Russian BMP was attaked by other necros. "I should not interfere. Especialy because my armor needs some repais"i sayd that while looking at the holes in the Kevlar."HELP!!!HELP!!!" Yelled the driver. "Eh i could give him some long range support" The next moment one bullet was in the head of an necro.Five of them come after me but it was too much running and they didn't make it in time.One by one the necros falled to the now infused with mixed energy ground.As i arrived at the BMP. The driver was transforming in one of them.
-Please kill me. The driver told me
-Are you sure about it?
-Yes i am. DO IT NOW!
-I'm sorry it had to end like this.Ah only if i shooted earlyer.I've seen an desert eagle in the BMP and took it to shoot the driver.But in one fast move the driver grabed my hand and tryed to bite.Still i drawn my shotgun and shooted fast enought to prevent that from happening."Rest in peace" I've sayd while throwing him out side. "Now lets see what is in the back". As i opened the doors i've seen that it wasn't an ordinary BMP it was an medical one.
-Who are you asked an man from one of the beds.Are you a doctor?
-Well of course he is.Said another one
-No i'm not an doctor.
-Then why did you came? And where is George?
-Yea...about that.....

"Pariah. Come over here." A fellow Necro called out to me. He was one of them who didn't really care that I didn't look like him. "Pariah. How goes..." His voice was deadpan and monotonous.

"Life?" I replied, filling in his sentence blank. My voice had thankfully retained it's emotion.

"That. Necros are.. beginning to.."

"Degenerate in speech?"

"Heh. Yeah. You're a different one eh?"

"Yes. I was bitten by a special devil kin."

"Who?"

"The Silver fang." At this, his lifeless eyes seem to flicker.

"I see. Well, no mission's for you.. now. Go. Satisfy your... Desire. Give.. new mission.. another. day." At this, I took my leave and walked along my fellow necros. They eyed me wearily, I looked too much like a human to them. I sighed audibly, they seemed to have forgotten what that meant.

The landscape whipped past my sight as I zoomed across the road inside a car I found lurking outside the Necro Union's base. I knew a village nearby.. I was starting to grow hungry for blood. But I could wait.

"Joseph! Hello good man, what brings you here today?" The bartender said to me, grinning. I gave him a sad look. For a month or so, I had bonded with this village and knew everybody by name, but really, this was just so I could get closer to them. So that I could-

"Jo-Joseph? What-What are you doing? Why is there a knife in your hand?"

-Kill them.

I drove the knife deep into the man's heart and blood splattered onto my face. I drank his soul out of him, then stepped on his lifeless body. "Rise, you dead fool. Serve me now." I whispered. The man's skeleton clambered out of his lifeless shell of a body, covered in blood. A grotesque sight, but one that my eyes had been accustomed to.

"Take this, George." I said, passing him the knife while I rummaged through his inventory to find.. His sword. Dented and rusty, it would work.

"George. Kill anyone, and bring their corpses to me." The skeleton resolutely walked away, chattering its teeth. I sat on the bartender's chair, using his cloth to wipe away the blood, sipping on a cup of his english tea. I should have kept him alive to make me tea. When he does it, it tastes better.

George soon returned with another corpse. "Angelina? Damn. I wanted to kill you myself, hear you scream. Oh well. Rise once again." This time, her dead body merely reanimated itself. Flesh in contact. I wiped the blood off of her throat and sealed the wound. I could use her as a decoy, she looked perfectly fine to me. I suppose that having sex with an alive dead body would STILL make me a necrophiliac, but she is really beautiful. And damn, did george have to rip off her shirt?

I sent Angelina on the similar errand, and before long, I had the whole body, haha, what a pun. Of the village at my footsteps, it was a magnificent feast of lifeforce. When I drained them dry, I tucked the sword behind my back, and got George to follow me. I killed Angelina once again, I hadn't really killed much. It wasn't enjoyable though, she couldn't die, and she didn't squirm or scream. The joy of killing was gone.

I left her topless with the rest of the bodies. I then proceeded to disassembling George, placing his bone dust into my jacket.

“I hate the heat,” muttered Aero to no one particular. “I hate the heat. I FUCKING HATE THIS HEAT!”

“Will you shut up?” asked Smithy, one of the people she was temporally traveling with. “We get it, you hate the heat, but that doesn’t give you the right to cuss in front of the kids.”

“Yeah it does. Everyone should know how much I hate this heat.” She glanced over at the cavern she was with. Little kids were running around while the mom’s watched over. The dad’s were setting up camp for the night. “I still don’t see why I’m here.”

“Because Lulu just gave birth and you took pity on us because we had no medic,” answered Mark, walking over to the two of them. “You’re here to make sure that the baby is healthy and to join our tribe.”

Aero stood up, calmly wiping dirt off her fur. She looked at Mark. “No one said I was joining.”

“Yeah, someone did.”

She raised an eyebrow. “And who would that be?”

“I did.” Mark lunged at her, shock collar in hand. Aero was quick to react. She ducked under Mark’s body, took out her knife, and stabbed him in the leg. He gasped in shock and fell to the ground. Using both hands to clutch the leg, Mark didn’t have anything to protect himself from the knife going to his neck. He closed his eyes and waited for his death.

It never came. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw that Aero stopped the knife a centimeter away from his neck. She glared at him with cold, gold eyes. “No one, and I mean no one, can make me join another tribe. They will have to kill me first before I join another tribe.” She put the knife back in its holster and picked up her pack. “It was fun while it lasted,” she said, while walking off.

XxXxXxX

Two hours later, Aero walked into a quiet town. She hoped that she could find a place to sleep for the night. ‘I need something to drink,’ she thought dryly, walking into a bar. The noise of drunken singing filled her ears as she entered. She made a beeline to the bartender and plopped in a stool.

“What brings a pretty lady like you to my bar?” asked the bartender, cleaning a glass mug with a wash cloth, like in the movies.

“I need something to drink and I want the good stuff, not the wimpy stuff most women get,” she answered, looking around. That’s when she saw two men in the corner, talking lowly. ‘Hmm, wonder what they’re talking about.’

The bartender slid a Red Twin to her. “Hardest stuff we got.” Aero picked it up and took a long drink.

“Ah, just what I needed,” she said, leaving her money were the beer was. She slowly walked over to where the two men were, blending in with the shadows.

“Look, I’m telling you, the D.K’s are starting to get restless. We got to figure out a way to kill them,” said one of the men, running his hand through his golden fur.

“I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell anyone else. My job is on the line if word gets out,” muttered the other man, his tail twitching nervously.
“What is it?” asked the other man, leaning forward.

“You shoot the back of the head, right above the spinal cord and right there only. If you miss, you’re screwed,” said the other guy lowly, hoping no one would hear. Aero slowly walked away and out into the cold night.

‘Right above the spinal cord, huh?’ she thought, looking up at the night sky. ‘People would kill for that kind of information. Guess I got to call Sam soon and let him drift it around in the B.M. I’m starting to run out of money.’

That’s when she saw she walked into the rich side of town. Her fingers twitched as she saw some snobs showing off their money. ‘But, it can wait a while. Besides, this is a bad place to contact him,’ she thought, walking by the snobs, quickly taking the wallets out of their pockets. ‘Too many cops around. I guess I got to head over to Central and go from there.’

She stopped in front of a Holiday Inn. Aero calmly walked in, hoping not to bring attention to her self. Ever since she was kicked out, males have been hitting on her, and once in a while, females. She shuddered as she remembers the last female that made a move on her. ‘Why did that even come in mind?’

Aero walked to the front desk. Seeing that no one was around, she hopped behind the computer. She quickly typed in something, grabbed a key, and walked to the stairs. Going to the second floor, Aero saw her room to her right. She put the key in the door knob and turned. The smell of lemons filled her nose as she looked around the room: one bed, a TV, bathroom, and a kitchen. ‘First, a shower.’

Five minutes later, she walked out of the steamy bathroom, wearing clean gray armor. She walked over to the fridge and took out three apples and a water bottle. Sitting on the edge of her bed, Aero surfed through the TV channels, hoping to see something good.

“Law and Order, Spongebob, NCIS…is there ever anything good on?” she whined, lying back on the bed. She closed her eyes. “Just for once, let something good be on.” That’s when she heard a knock on the door.

“Open up! It’s the police!” Aero grinned. Police were so stupid. You’re not supposed to tell them that you were the police and to open up. You should burst right in, not give them time to hide. Aero stood up and ran towards the window. ‘Glad I got the second floor,’ she thought, landing on the streets and breaking out into a run, ‘that would’ve been a bitch to heal if I was on the third floor.’ She ran faster as she heard cops chasing her.

“Try to catch me coppers!” She ran into an ally and blended in with the shadows. She laughed quietly as she saw the cops run pass her. She waited ten minutes before walking out. She headed towards the main street. She quickly blended in with the crowd, watching various police officers run into ally ways, hoping she would be in one.

“Point one for Aero,” she said, walking out of the city and back into the desert. She groaned as she realized it would take her two days to get to Central. “Ah hell. Why me?” she asked, looking up into the sky. Her eyes narrowed. “God, you hate me, don’t ya?” Her walking into a cacti bush answered her question. “God hates me.”

(Not anymore)

-DEAD? How? Did you kill him?
-Yes he is dead. And yes i killed him b.... In that moment i got disrupted by one of the mans.
-You Bastard. I'm going to kill you!
-Kill me for saveing you?!
-Saveing us?
-Yes he turned into an necro. How? Some necros attaked.
-That makes sense.*pain*
-Are you Ok?
-He isn't, he got shot whe......*Story of how he got shot by felines*
-Well then i'd better hurry.
-Whe... He didn't finnish telling what he wanted to say because i closed the door
While i was looking for the keys i've found an secret cache with supplies, ammo and some bandages. "It seems like this really is my lucky day". After ten minutes of searching i finnaly found it it was in an dark and wet place of the car, at first i belived that it was oil or water but when i got my hand out of there, that substance was actually blood, dryed blood. At firt i screamed and got away from there but after a while i searched that place again and found an rotten hand. "Holy --. How could he drive with something like this here?" I throwed the hand outside and started the engine. The road was long and if i looked at right or at left it was the same thing sand everywhere except for some oasis where whe stopped, the majority of them were too toxic for anyone to drink and that explains why we found so many devil kins and necros. Outside was still dark but the sun began to shine. after another hour i could see an city, it was small but still, a city. I was so sure i was safe, Well there i was wrong i was followed by some felines. "Huh?What are they doing here?Doesn't matter" I stopped the car and climbed on top of it. "Say hello to my.... I'd say little but i'd lie" One by one they got a hole in they're heads except one that i didn't see it comming. It jumped on me with an knife and i didn't had time to doge it but suddenly blood was all over me. When i looked at the feline i could see fear in it's eyes then it falled off me. "Oh man i just cleaned the shirt. I wasn't wearing the kevlar.

[Vracer]

"This cold is killing me."

Caine continued walking through the woods. An owl hooted in the distance and it echoed through the trees. Caine looked around. The moon was shining slightly through the leaves casting a white tone to the ground. His feet crunched in the grass.

A rustling in the bushes made Caine draw his sword.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

A small child emerged from the brush. He looked at Caine with large eyes.

"Can you help me get home?"

Caine frowned. He raised his sword.

"I'll help you."

He slashed the sword down.

The child screamed.

[nrocha20]

(Only two complaints, Vracer, you need more detail in your posts, rainor, Necro dont turn people into Necro, the bite of a devil kin MIGHT turn them into one. But not another Necro.)

Martin was laughing like a lunatic as the 5 ton APC sped toward the armed and ready factory. Shells were whizzing past, and some were even hitting the APC. Martin continued to speed, he rammed into the chain link fence that surrounded the factory, and hitting at least three Arcane soldiers before crashing into the wall of the factory. Because of the APC's large quantity of armor, it was able to go through the first wall, into a poorly lit hallway and crashing into the second wall. The APC had stopped, but the back hatch was exposed outside the factory. Martin and the 12 Gunners inside the APC exited through the side hatch on the right of the armored vehicle. The gunner Martin talked to earlier came up behind him and slapped him in the back of the head.

"What?!" Yelled Martin, rubbing his head.

"Are you INSANE!!??" The gunner replied, obviously angry.

"Were safe inside aren't we? And no has sounded the al-" Before Martin could finish the lights turned red and the alarm was screeching. Martin looked over the hood of the APC to see 15 some-odd guards charging their way toward them.

"Fuck." That was all Martin was able to let out before he and the 12 gunners started running down the hallway.

(You do realize you cant move when gathering energy right? I thought I made that clear. And even so, to destroy an entire bar, with you inside it? Your not superman. And also considering that in your last post it was cold. You don't control time and whether. I suggest you delete that post, and continue from where you left off on your last post.)

[Vracer]

(He gathered the energy before walking. He wasn't inside the bar. The bar was quite small, like large cabin size. Just because the sun is out doesn't mean it's not cold.)

[nrocha20]

(It usually does ya. And you cant gather energy to create a beam, hold it while you drink, and then blow up a bar with you in it. I understand you cant feel anything, but your not an invincible bad ass. You also cant skip from setting to setting, you need to continue from your last post. Delete the one you just did, and try again)

[Vracer]

(It was the same setting. He walked further into the forest.)

[shadow_strike]

“If you look out in the middle of Musa Desert, you will see a girl, holding a tape recorder and talking with a Steve Irwin accent. If you approach her and ask why she is doing this, she will stab you in the eye and then say ‘it’s the heat getting to me.’ Then she will take the knife and walk away.” Aero looked at the tape recorder in her hands. “Heh, I’m going insane in the middle of the desert, perfect.”

Aero put away the tape recorder and looked around. Sand-dunes were everywhere and then every 3 sand-dunes, there was a cacti bush. She unconsciously rubbed her arm where the needles got stuck. ‘Stupid cacti bush.’ Early, she took off her armor so she wouldn’t die of heat stroke and was wearing a gray shirt and brown capri’s.

“I hate the heat,” she muttered, taking off her pack and looking for water. When she did find it, she took a little sip. Water can go quickly in the middle of Musa Desert if you didn’t have a car or any other form of transportation.

“I’ve been through desert on a horse with no name and it felt good to be out of the rain. In the desert, you can’t remember your name ‘cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain.” Aero stopped walking. “Holy shit, I am going insane if I’m singing songs from the golden days. I need to sit down.” She walked a little further and found a sand-dune blocking the sun.

“Perfect,” she said, laying her head on top of her pack. She could feel her eyes drooping down. “I’ll rest…them for…a…minute.” She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

XxXxXxX

“Are you sure she’ll be out here?” Aero was instantly awake. She quietly put on her pack and peeked her head around the sand-dune. Two guys were sitting around a fire. ‘Not very smart when it’s known D.K’s like the Musa,’ she thought, getting her knives out.

“Of course she’ll be out here. She’s on her way to go see Sam and Brandon.” Aero’s eyes narrowed. How did they know about Sam and Brandon?

“Well, we gotta catch her and make sure we tell her where the new B.M’s out since…the raid.”

“What raid?” Both guys’ heads snapped towards Aero.

“Hey Aero, thought you would be out here,” said the brown one.

“Trevor, stop beating around the bush, what raid?” Aero sat on the ground and looked at Trevor and Dean evilly.

“Well, last week, some Necro’s attacked Central. No one got hurt but we had to move,” said Dean, twisting his black and green tail nervously.

“And why couldn’t anyone call my phone instead of sending you two into the Musa?” asked Aero.

“Because we lost your number,” said Trevor, poking the fire with a stick.

“Ok, at dawn, you two lead me to the new Central, but for now, put out that fire and let’s move away,” said Aero, picking up her stuff.

“Why do we have to put out the fire?” questioned Dean.

“Because, we probably attracted some D.K’s,” answered Aero, walking away. She grinned as she heard the fire being put out and two people running to catch up to her.

[pvt tony]

-It's too calm, I said to myself

then, as I said, two enemy gunners appeared in front of me, I aimed my B.A.R and I opened fire on them. When they felled, lifless, on the ground, I went to them and I checked their uniforms, they were Arcane soldiers, dirty bastards!

I then saw they were canines, and canines were usualy stronger than that. What a step backward i made when one of the canine opened the eyes. I drawed my dual WW1 trusty pistols and empty my bullets on him.

-These little pistols won,t hurt me, the canine said.
-You think? I asked him, whit a devil-like smile. I switched the mode of my pistols to fully automatic, it was the feature on my pistols.

-What? said the giant dog before I fired on him. Unfortunaltely, it had a to much huge recoil to fire in long bursts.

-Is that all you have? my opponent asked.
-Ofcorse, NO! I awnsered, silently, i tossed a gammon grenade from my mussette. I waited for a few seconds and I throwed it. It had a so huge airburst that i felled on the ground.

“Trevor…”

“What Dean?”

“Are we there yet?”

“No Dean.”

“Aero…”

“What?”

“Are we there yet?”

“I dunno, haven’t been there yet.”

“…”

“…”

“Trevor…”

“What?”

“Are we there yet?”

“No…”

“Aero…”

“Hn…”

“Are we there yet?”

“No.”

“…”

“…”

“Are we-“Aero and Trevor glared at Dean. “Shutting up.”

“Good,” said Trevor, looking back at the landscape. They have been walking for three hours and Dean’s whining was slowly getting on Trevor and Aero nerves. “Aero, what were you doing in the middle of the Musa anyway?” She glanced at him.

“Running away from cops. How did you even know I was in the Musa?”

“We heard from a cop that some girl jumped out of a second story window at a Holiday Inn. You wouldn’t know anything about, would you?” Aero looked away, scoffing.

“Have I been known to do something like that?” Trevor looked at her, eye twitching.

“When we first met you, you jumped on moving cars just to get away from a little girl that decide she wanted your fur and eye color.”

“She was ripping my fur and trying to claw my eyes out so excuse me if I wanted to get the hell out of there.”

“You shoved her ice cream in her face!”

“And your point being is what?” Trevor just sighed and looked at the map.

“If we keep up the pace we’re walking with, we should be there in an hour.” Aero grinned.

“Finally, I can get a decent night sleep. And hopefully not see you two for the rest of the night.”

“Hey,” cried Dean, walking backwards in front of Aero, “I take offence to that.”

“Good,” she said, pushing his head, making fall backwards, “You were supposed to take offence to that.” Dean jumped up, getting sand off of his fun and clothes.

“You’re so mean to that kid,” commented Trevor in a low voice. Aero glanced over her shoulder to see Dean behind her and Trevor, moping.

“Hey, he’s like the younger brother I never had. Of course I’m supposed to mean to him,” she replied in an equally low voice. “If someone hurries up, I promise to buy them ice cream when we get to the new Central,” she said loudly, getting Dean’s attention. He got an excited look on his face and ran ahead of them.

“HURRY UP SLOW-POKES!”

“WHO ARE YOU ARE YOU CALLING SLOW?!” yelled Aero, grabbing Trevor’s hand, and running towards Dean. He yelped and ran faster.

“I WAS JOKING ABOUT THE SLOW-POKES THING!”

“TOO LATE TO TAKE IT BACK! I’M GONNA GET YOU!” Aero let go of Trevor’s hand and chased after Dean.

Trevor just stood there, taking in the scene. Aero had Dean pinned and was tickling his sides, trying to make him say ‘uncle’. ‘Aero, it’s amazing that you change from being a cold-hearted bitch and became a playful person. I guess Dean, Brandon, Sam, and I must’ve had an impact on you life. I pray nothing comes in between us.’ Aero saw Trevor was just standing there and looked at Dean. They both got up and ran towards him.

Aero jumped on him and Dean jumped on Aero. “You know,” said Aero, looking at Trevor, “You’re lucky that Brandon isn’t here.”

“Why?” asked Trevor, looking confused.

“Think about the position we’re in.” Trevor went in deep thought. Then his eyes widen.

“You’re a sick girl,” he said.

“Yep, now Dean, get off.” Dean got off and Aero stood up, holding out a hand for Trevor. Trevor grabbed it and Aero pulled him up. “So, where’s Central?”

Trevor looked where he was at and started to walk forward. Then he stopped by a sand dune that had a tall cactus in front of it. Then he got on the ground and brushed the sand away. Underneath the sand was a metal door. He grabbed onto one edge and pulled it up. There was a metallic tunnel. He turned to Aero. “You coming?” Nodding her head, she followed Trevor in and Dean shut the door, putting them in complete darkness.

"Hmmph, looks like I won't be getting any room service." Rin grabbed a key from behind the bloodied desk and started down the hallway. She stepped over the mutilated corpses that littered the floor and entered the elevator. The small, enclosed space was even worse than the hallway. She waited patiently as she slowly reached the 10th floor. With a soft ding! the elevator stopped and the doors opened. She was greeted by the sight of more corpses as she stepped out into the hallway. The stench of blood was heavy in the air. She didn't mind it though. She found it to be quite comforting.

Rin slowly opened the door to her room and was surprised to see that it was clean and free of blood. This disappointed her. She was hoping for a room that would be full of the sweet smelling crimson liquid. Of course, she could always break into the other rooms and sleep there, but she was still exhausted from her fight with that rogue Canine. This would have to do.

She approached the bed and flopped down onto the soft, fluffy mattress, not even bothering to take off her weapons or shoes. Slowly, she drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep.

[nrocha20]

(Alright Shadow, your good) (And Shadow2, try not to make the world sound so civilized. Remember were in an apocalyptic abomination of a planet overrun be deadly creatures that could kill you probably even easier then you can kill them)

Martin and the 12 gunners were running down the hallway, chased by the 15 or so Arcane troops. Martin spotted a door at the end of the hallway guarded by two soldiers. Before Martin or the gunners could open fire, the two soldiers had pulled out their Customized AK-52's and had fired who knows how many rounds. Three gunners fell before they could get any shots off, the gunner Martin talked to earlier was the only one to shoot. The two feline guards fell in a small pool of blood. When they had reached the door the soldiers behind them opened fire, killing four more gunners. They made it through the door, finding themselves in the intelligence room. Apparently the intelligence officers had fled when the alarm was sounded. Martin and the gunner he first talked to pushed a book case in front of the door.

"So, is there a map of the faculty here?" Martin said, huffing from the excitement. I need to work out more...

"Hold on," Said the gunner, "Lets count our loses."

"Seven are gone sarge." said one of the gunners.

"Fuck, alright, check the computers for a map."

After that statement, Martin made one of the many sounds a commanding officer never wants to hear on the field. "ummm..."

"What?" The sarge asked, knowing he wasn't going to like the answer.

"How come no one is bangin' on the door? Its only wood after all..."

The Sargent started to feal some fear.

"That, driver, is a VERY good question."

[ShadowDancer]

Rin woke to the sound of footsteps. She sat up in bed and listened as they approached the door to her room.

"Sis, I doubt there are any survivors."

"No, I felt something. There's definately someone here!"

The footsteps stopped in front of her door. Rin stared at the bloody, wooden door, hand on the hilt of her katana, ready to face any dangers that would lie ahead.

"There's someone in here!"

The door swung open to reveal a young feline on the other side. Her cheery expression quickly turned to that of disappointment, and then fear. She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Rin drew her Katana and charged towards the young feline. A loud ringing echoed through the halls as her Katana met the steel sword of another feline. A male feline.

"Sis! Are you alright?" He asked, with a worrried look on his face.

"I'm fine, brother."

So they're siblings. Rin thought as she watched the two.

"Damn Necro, I won't let you hurt Kayla!" The male shouted as he lunged at Rin.

"Devon, wait!" Kayla cried. Rin moved swiftly out of the way, dodging Devon's attack completely and causing him to run into the wall. He cried in pain as his face smashed against the decorative wallpaper. Covering his face with his hands, he stumbled backwards and tripped on his sword, which had fallen to the floor during the impact. He landed on the hardwood floor with a loud thud, and lay there motionless in pain.

"Devon!" Kayla cried, rushing past Rin to tend to her hurt brother. Rin watched as his bruises disappeared while Kayla healed him. A medic, huh? They may be of use to me after all. Rin sheathed her Katana and silently waited for Kayla to finish.

"Dammit!" Devon cried, struggling to stand.

"Devon don't! She's too strong for you!" Kayla tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen.

"You would do well to listen to your sister." Rin spoke once Devon finally managed to stand.

"Why should I listen to you? You tried to kill us!" Devon spat, weilding his sword.

"That was before I knew she was a medic," Rin continued. "If you aid me in my journey, maybe I won't--"

"Enough of this crap!" He screamed, charging towards Rin in another attempt to kill her. "Die bitch!"

Rin sidestepped out of the way and grabbed Devon's sword-hand. He screamed in pain as her claws dug into his skin, causing him to drop his sword.

"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt a lady when she's talking?"

"You're no lady," He spat at Rin.

Rin wiped his saliva from her face. Devon cried out in pain as she twisted his arm around his back. Tears came to his eyes and rolled down his cheek.

"Now, where was I?" Rin, asked aloud, not bothered by Devon's screams. "Ah yes," She continued, "If you come with me, I may let you live, and maybe teach you how to handle that sword of yours. Should you choose to come, remember this:" Devon stumbled forward as she released her grip on his wrist. "You mean nothing to me. You are merely tools who are there for no other purpose than to serve me. Understand?"

Kayla and Devon both nodded. Rin turned and walked out the door into the bloody hallway. Devon and Kayla followed suit, pausing to pick up his sword. Silently, they followed her to their unknown future.

[rainor]

Someone speaking through a megaphone said “YOU THERE THROW YOUR WEAPONS AS FAR AS YOU CAN IF YOU DON’T WANT TO END LIKE THE FELINES”, I did as he wanted.
“GOOD NOW WAIT THERE SOMEONE IS COMMING TO CHECK YOU”

“Ahh GREAT” I said to myself with an sarcastic tone.
-Hey what happens there?
“SHUT UP!” I’ve said to the two mans inside.”Ah even better, now I want my water, and it’s inside!”
After five minutes the “someone” arrived. He was wearing a hood sa I coudn’t see his face “Who are you, and what are you doing here?” “My name is Rainor, Jim Rainor (Bond, James Bond) and to see why I’m here why don’t you look at the back of the car?”
He went to see and when he opend the door the two mans attaked him.
“What the…..” I jumped in the fight and try to separate them but it didn’t work, then I rememberd I still have the commando knife. I tried with that too but it didn’t work eighter because I didn’t want to hurt them. “Ok I’ve had enough of this.”. After I finished talking my knife was in the hand of one of the mans I was transporting. The other one stopped when he had seen what I did to the other one. “Are you transporting prisoniers?”

“Wha…? No, I’m not why?”
“Because those are the best thieves around here they’ve stolen so many weapons and recently hijacked this BMP.”
I looked at the two criminals. “Lucky bastards, if I had my Desert Eagle you would be dead *I turned my head to the ‘Someone’* That explains the dry blood and that disgusting hand under a chair”
“I think so.Did you find the third?”
“So he was with them too? He is dead bited by an D.K., He was transforming I shoot him”
“Well you seem ok to enter and live in our city.”
“Finnaly I will sleep without waking up each 10 minutes”
“Your serous?”
“Yes I am now let me get my weapons“
“Oh yes your weapons, go get them”
While getting my weapons I’ve seen something moving far away.I looked through the scope of my sniper and I’ve senn.
“F—k, D.K.’s, they are so many” I said that to myself
“I should warn them”

‘Why is it so dark,’ thought Aero, keeping her hand on Trevor’s shoulder as he guided them to the new location of Central. ‘I can barely see and someone could get hurt. I gotta ask Sam about this.’ Aero was so caught up in her thoughts, she never noticed Trevor stopping. “Oomph. Man, your back is a freakin’ wall. Have you been working out?” She didn’t see Trevor’s grin.

“We’re here,” said Dean, getting in front of Trevor. Dean pressed a rock in and then twisted another rock and the wall started to slowly move. Aero was blinded by the sudden light. Shaking her head, she gasped in shock.

The old Central was an old run-down city. The new Central however, was a shiny city, like something you would see before this war started. Everyone was wearing new clothes and little kids could run freely out in the street. Aero took a step out of the tunnel and into the cliff that overlooked Central.

“Nice, isn’t it?” asked Trevor, standing beside Aero. She nodded stiffly and started to walk down the stairs. “Hey.” Trevor jogged up to Aero. He frowned when he saw something flickering in her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s just…this new Central…it’s everything Raj wanted,” stated Aero, looking at a group of kids playing kick-ball. Trevor smiled faintly.

“The fountain in the center of Central was named after him,” said Dean, walking over to the silent female. “We thought…it was fitting.”

Aero sighed. “No use going back down memory lane. I got to meet Samuel. I have something that I picked up from a tribe I was traveling with.” Trevor nodded and looked at Dean.

“Dean, take her to Sam, there’s something I got to take care of.” Dean smiled, took Aero’s hand, and dragged her off; talking about what he’s been up to since she left. Trevor waited till they were out of hearing range before taking out a cell phone. He pressed three and listened to it ring.

”Hello?” asked a raspy voice over the phone.

“She’s in the city,” said Trevor.

The voice chuckled. ”Excellent. I’ll be back in two days. Make sure she stays.”

“Yes sir.” Trevor hung up and walked towards his house. 'She may kill me for this, but it's for her own good.

XxXxXxX

Dean stopped in front of a brick house in the center of town. He skipped to the door and knocked loudly. “Sam….open up Sam.” He frowned and looked back at Aero. “He won’t open up.” She sighed.

“I’ll take care of it.” She walked to the door and knocked once. “Samuel…” she called. There was a shuffling of footsteps and the door opened up to reveal a 6 foot tall Feline with gray fur and orange eyes. He smiled when he saw it was Aero.

“Well, if it ain’t Kasper, the friendly ghost. What brings you to my humble adobe?” Aero rolled her eyes and walked in.

“Nice use of the word adobe Samuel. I think that you’re actually getting smarter,” sighed Aero, lying down on a red leather couch.

“Answer my question Kasper,” demanded Sam, sitting next to Dean on the other couch. Aero looked up at the ceiling, hoping that it would give her an answer.

“I was traveling with a nomadic group, hoping to get some money three months back…

Aero lied on the blanket that the other ladies had so kindly gave her when she joined up with their group, gazing up at the stars. “And the Moon was cursed...” Her ears twitched as she heard the elders of the group telling the story of how the Moon fell in love with the Sun but they never could see each other due to a bitter feud between the Sun and the Sky.

Aero got up from where she was lying and walked away from the tribe, hoping to get some peace and quiet. She found a cliff above a river and decided to meditate there. Crossing her legs, she started to block everything out.

“Hey, what are you going to due about the tribes coming from the south?” Aero snapped open her eyes and looked across the river. She saw two of the males from the tribe she was traveling with.

’But why go away from the tribe to talk? She leaned forward a little, hoping to catch more information.

“Easy, kill them. We can’t let the others know about the rising of Necro’s. Everything will be out of control and we can’t-“ Whatever he was going to say next was interrupted as he saw Aero walking away. “HEY! THE MEDIC HEARD US!” Aero’s eyes widen.

’Kinda hoping I wasn’t going have to run…but, situation calls for it.’ Aero felt a tingling sensation spreading through her body and then the world around her started to become a blur. She ran by the camp, grabbed her blanket and pack, and sped away.

Sam looked in deep thought when Aero finished the story. “So…more Necro’s are starting to attack tribes in south more often?” Aero nodded. “And that one tribe you were traveling with were killing the tribes who were from the south?” Aero shook her head.

“No, other tribes are doing it too. Mostly the men. They don’t want the females and kids to freak out.” Sam sighed.

“I’ll think of something to say later but now, go see Brandon. He’s been moping ever since you left.” Aero chuckled as Sam started to push her towards the door.

“That sounds like him. I’ll go see him. And don’t take more that half of the profits Samuel!” laughed Aero, walking down the street.

“The address is 1203 Baton Road!” shouted Sam before closing the door.

Aero walked down the main street of town and turned left. To her right was a 1203. She stopped at the gray brick one-story house. She grinned and walked up the path. Before she knocked, the door swung open to reveal a 6 foot 3 inch, black and gold fur, male Feline, staring at her with green eyes.

“Hey,” was all Aero manage to get out before she was swept into a hug. The guy put his head in her neck. She smiled softly. “I missed you too Brandon,” said Aero softly and returned the hug.

Across the street, two pairs of eyes watched the scene with disgust.

“How much longer?” asked the red eye Feline.

“Soon…soon…” answered the brown eye Feline. And they both disappeared with a flash.

[pvt tony]

Limbs were flying everywere, it was awefull. I grabbed back all my gear that felled on the ground, my B.A.R and my pistols when, suddently, I herd:

-FREEEEEEEEZE!!!
-Ugh, christ. I said to myself. I turned to face a feline Arcane officier.
-What do you want? I asked.
-your life, b*tch, now drop your pistols, he said.
-If you want, I awnswered with an evil smile.

Then I aimed at him and opened fire, he died pretty quickly, he was pretty much weaker than the other ones. I reloaded my C-96s and put them back in thier holsters, Igrabbed my B.A.R and I walked away, but I didn't knew I was followed...

“Hey are you ok?”
“Huh?Yes I’m fine”
“Then what’s takeing so long?”
“Your right we should get in the city.And the faster the better”
“Uhh… why do you hurry so much?”
“Shut up and drive”I yelled at him
“Ok,ok, no need to be mad.”
“Oh no? How about some D.K.’s?”
The man look scared it was like he was frozen.He was trying to say something.
“B..b..b..b..BEHIND YOU” The man finnaly speaked.
I almost reached my shotgun but then something grabbed my neck, it was cold but outside the temperature was 30° Celsius. I tried to escape but it was too powerfull for me. For an moment I thought i was dead but then one bullet was in the head of the D.K.
“GET IN THE VEHICLE” I yelled to them as loud as I could.
I ran to the vehicle as fast as I could. And when i finnaly reached it I jumped on it and yelled.
“GO,GO,GO.”
And the BMP started to catch speed.
“Eat lead suckers” I said to myself. And so they did, one after another the eat lead.
The D.K.’s in they’re blood almost made me puke.
“Are you ok up there?” The man said
“Yes I’m fine thanks for asking. By the way what is your name?”

“Pleased to meet you”
“Me too”
“So? Are there any hotels where we are going?”

“I said : Are there any hotels where we are going?”
“Ah that. Yes there are some hotels”David answerd
“Well that is good, usually how much is a room?”
“Don’t ask me, ask the owners” Then silence occurred excepting the engine
In the sand close to the city there were some ruins of buildnigs and vehicles.
“Hey are you going to kill us?”
“I wish i could”
“No don’t do it, the capitan wants them alive”
“*sigh*”Ok,ok,i won’t kill them I wish I could kill them”

[nrocha20]

"Sir! I found a map on this computer!" Yelled one of the gunners, interrupting the Sergent.

"Good, where is the control room?" The Sergent responded.

"It says its right above us."

"Alright men, gather yourselves up! Make sure to scavenge the area for any weapons or supplies."

After about 5 minutes of looking around, and gathering themselves up. The 5 Gunners and Martin opened a different door on the opposite side of the room. The door led to another hallway, but this one was deserted. They walked down the hallway and found a spiral staircase leading up to the next floor. Once they reached the top, the Sergent took point. The control room was right behind a large metal door.

"Vince, you got the explosives?" The Sergent said to one of the larger gunmen.

"Sure Sarge." Vince responded heading to the metal door. After about thirty seconds of planting one of the door poppers on the doors hinges. Vince ran back to the group and handed the Sargent a detonator. The Sarge quickly pressed one of the many buttons and the door poppers made a small and quiet explosion, causing the metal door to fall forward in a large bang.

"Well, lets go already!" Martin said heading through the doorway before the Sarge could utter a word.

"Driver, you crazy bastard." The Sargent said running up behind him. Martin was at a window when the Sarge noticed that the control room was clear to.

"Well this is odd." he said looking around the room that controlled the entire faculty.

"Sarge..." Martin said, still looking out the window, "Come see this."

The Sergent ran up to the window as Martin got out of the way.

"Were fucked." He said, with his eyes wide open.

[demonickilla]

Morlas watched the two canines walking through the desert from the rock he was hiding behind. He needed the money. There was a small town close by, atleast he won't have to kill people in the town. Morlas put his white veil on his face.

Morlas unsheathed his two curved daggers and jumped out from behind the rock. "Let's dance canines!" one of the canines stood still shocked, the other reached for a large knife on his belt.

Morlas thought quickly and charged at the in shock one. He buried one of his daggers in the canine's face, he left it there and jumped at the one with his dagger already sheathed. The canine lunged at him but Morlas was already behind him, in one swift movement Morlas slit the canine's throat.

Morlas took both of the canines money. He looked at them both. 'Those leather padded pants, shirt and coat looks like they have better protection then my cloth armour. Morlas quickly put on one of the canine's outfit, it was a normal villager out fit and it was a light brown color, he would'nt stand out in a crowd. 'prefect' Morlas thought.

Morlas walked for a half an hour before he finally made it to the town. Morlas has been to the town many times to buy supplies. 'I can't keep living like this, I need a purpose.' He walked into the town to find the streets lined with bodies, the bodies of the villagers. 'what happened here?' Morlas put his veil on just incase.

When walking through the streets he noticed that most of the bodies looked like they were fed on. 'Devil kin? Must have been a big pack Morlas has seen some devil kin in his day, but almost always the packs were small around here.

Morlas heard a loud moaning coming from an ally way, he went to investigate.

When in the ally he saw four D.K.s feasting on a villager. One of them turned around and screamed at him, the others did the same. Morlas covered his ears. After a few seconds of the D.K.s screaming they stopped and lounged and Morlas. Morlas thought quickly and saw a ladder attached to one of the buildings, he quickly climbed all the way up it to the roof.

"Try and dance the dance with me up here foul ones!"

Soon the D.K.s swarmed around the building, alerted from the screams of the first D.K.s. Morlas was thinking of a way to get out of here when he saw the D.K.s found a way to climb up the building not just by the ladder, where Morlas could easily kick them down. They dug their claws into the side of the building and climbed around. Shit. Morlas thought. How can I dance with them all?

Morlas unsheathed his twisted daggers and when the first D.K. got to the top he pounced on him, sending them both falling off the roof. While in the air Morlas felt the adrenaline flow through him. When they slammed into the ground the D.K. instantly was dead. Morlas could only feel the adrenaline, he hardly noticed the D.K.'s surrounding him, He quickly made a run for it. Morlas lost the D.K.s easily with Morlas's adrenaline going, He felt like he could run forever, but soon after he lost the D.K.s the adrenaline disappeared. Morlas fell to the ground, he could hardly stand up again. He did'nt now where he was. 'Nice move "Veiled one" now i'm lost. he found a cacti bush and sighed. 'I'm not sleeping good tonight' He crawled under it and passed out.

[ShadowDancer]

"Oh my God..."

"..."

"I seem to have the worst of luck, don't I?"

They stared at the burning ruins of the destroyed city. Remains of the once tall buildings lay scattered across the ground. The gray sky was filled with smoke, and the air was heavy with the stench of blood.

"I must be more attracted to the smell of blood than I thought," Rin said, breaking the silence. "This is the third city I've been to this week that was ruined by the Devil Kin." Kayla walked up to a pile of crumbling bricks, her ears drooped down with sadness. She kneeled down to pick up a lone teddy bear that had been left behind, and hugged it tightly. Devon walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's just so sad..." She said before burst into tears. Devon hugged her tightly, fighting back his own tears. Rin payed no attention to the two. Instead, she turned her attention to a brick wall that managed to survive. She could see a small tail poking out from behind it. Rin walked up to the brick wall, hand on the hilt of her Katana, ready to kill the creature that hid behind it. Devon saw Rin move from the corner of his eye and watched as she slowly approached the wall. He then saw the small tail poking out from behind it and rushed to stop her.

"What are you doing?!" He shouted as he stepped in front of her.

"Don't get in my way," Rin stated as she pushed him aside. She drew her Katana as she approached the wall, preparing to strike the creature. Devon charged torwards Rin, trying to tackle her. But Rin dodged him, and caused him to fall face first onto the ash covered ground. She was at the wall now, her Katana raised, ready to strike down.

"Wait!" Kayla ran in front of Rin before she could strike. They both stood silent, staring at each other. From the other side of the wall, they could hear crying. Kayla peeked behind the wall and saw a young female Canine huddled up into a ball. When she spotted Kayla, she ran up to her and hugged her tight.

"Please! Help me find my Mommy!" She cried. Kayla looked up at Rin with pleading eyes. Rin sighed and sheathed her Katana. Kayla's face lit up with glee and she turned her attention back to the girl.

"Don't worry, we'll find her," She reassured the young girl. The young Canine hugged her even tighter.

"Thank you stranger!" She said, letting go of Kayla. "Come on! She went this way!" She shouted as she ran ahead.

"Wait for us!" Kayla shouted as she ran after her. Devon followed suit and ran after his sister. Rin was the only one who stayed calm and kept her distance. The young Canine led them to the heart of the city, where the damage was worst. Dead bodies littered the streets, their blood had soaked into the ground. Finally, they came across a small building that had somehow survived the attack.

"She's in here," The young girl said, opening the steel door. The interior was completely empty, not a single piece of furniture in sight.

Something's not right... Rin thought as they entered the building.

"Are you sure your mother's in here?" Kayla turned to ask the young girl, but she was nowhere to be found. "Huh? Where did--" Suddenly, the door closed behind them, trapping them inside. Devon went up to the door and started puonding on it.

"Let us out!!" He screamed, pounding harder and harder, but to no avail. Rin drew her Katana, her crimson eyes scanning the room for another way out.

"Well, well, looks like dinner's arrived," Said a voice. Five figures emerged from the shadows. One of them was clutching the little girl.

"Thank you for finding my daughter," She snarled with a sinister smile on her face. They were all Canines. Well armed Canines. There was no escape.

"Don't worry," Said another one. "We'll make your death quick and painless." He laughed evilly and charged straight towards Rin.

[shadow_strike]

Knock, knock!

Aero glared at the door. It has been two hours since she’s been home and she was talking to Brandon before the door knocked. Ignoring it, she turned back to Brandon. “Anyway, I walked into the Holiday Inn-”
Knock, knock!

A snarl rose in Aero’s throat. ‘I guess when I’m home, I can’t catch a break,’ she thought darkly, glaring at the door. Brandon sighed.

“I’ll get it,” he said, walking towards the door. Aero sighed sadly and lied on the couch. She heard him opening it.

“Is Aero home?” asked a girls voice.

“Yeah, come on in Susan.” Brandon walked in with an orange Feline with brown eyes, standing at 5’4. Susan was wearing a brown dress. Aero turned Susan, glaring.

“Hi Aero!” she chimed, walking towards the couch and sitting on Aero’s stomach. Aero let out an “oomph” at the weight.

“Can I help you with something Susan,” demanded Aero, glaring at the young Feline.

“Yeah, I was wondering wear my gift was,” said Susan, the smile on her face growing bigger. Aero inwardly groaned. She totally forgot about getting a gift for Susan. Running from tribes and the cops can do that to a person.

“Susan, I forgot.” Susan’s smile disappeared.

“What?” Aero looked at Susan, who was starting to tear up.

“It’s just, with tribes chasing me, cops trying to arrest me, and trying to get information, getting you a gift slipped my mind. And besides, didn’t I tell you before I left I would try to get you a gift if I didn’t forget?”

“But…you always get me a gift…”

“I know, but Susan, you have to understand, I would’ve gotten you a gift if I could, but there’s no way I could with out getting myself killed.”

“I DON’T WANT TO UNDERSTAND!” yelled Susan, jumping off of Aero’s stomach. She turned to Aero, tears streaming down her face. “YOU COULD JUST USE ADRENALINE AND GET OUT OF GETTING KILLED!”

“Susan, you know like every Feline that I could use adrenaline once a week. Say I got out of getting killed using adrenaline to get you a gift and I run into a tribe that wants to kill me. What do I do then? I’m too weak to fight and I can’t use adrenaline. And you know the risk if a Feline uses adrenaline two times in a week! I will die!”

Susan just stared at Aero, and then ran out the door, slamming it behind her. Aero stared at the door for a few seconds before sitting on the couch, face in hands. Brandon sat beside Aero and brought her into a hug.

“You know Susan. She’ll forgive you in an hour,” he muttered into Aero’s ear. She returned the hug, burying her face into his red shirt.

“What if she doesn’t forgive me this time?” Aero whispered.

“Don’t worry, she will,” said Brandon, tightening his hug. Aero smiled and looked up at Brandon.

“I love you,” she said, putting her head on his shoulder.

“I love you too,” he said, resting his head on her head. They sat like that for a while before the both fell backwards on the couch, sound asleep.

XxXxXxX

Trevor sighed in relief as he heard Sam and Dean walk away. He flipped out his cell phone when he felt it vibrate. “Yes?”

”Turns out I’m coming back early.”

“How early?”

”Start moving tonight.

Trevor sighed. “Yes sir.” The person on the other end hung up. Trevor took the phone away from his ear and pressed eight.

”Yeah?”

Trevor got an evil grin on his face. “It starts tonight.” The person on the other end chuckled evilly and hung up.

XxXxXxX

Sam sighed and looked at the sleeping Dean. Trevor refused to answer the door the house and Dean was devastated. He didn’t know what was wrong with his big brother, so Sam offered to let Dean stay the night with him.

Sam ran a hand through his fur on the top of his head. He noticed it was getting long and made a mental note to get it cut soon. He found it odd that to fur on the top of every Felines and Canines head grew long but not anywhere else on their body. ‘Must be some weird genetic thing,’ he thought.

He walked over to his desk and sat down in the chair. On top of the desk was a map, showing paths were tribes from the south part of the West were coming in from. He marked where it would lead to the part of the West they were at. He scowled when he noticed most of the paths were coming this way.

‘Why are the Necro’s attacking all of a sudden? There’s got to be someone pulling the strings…’ His train of thought was interrupted when there was a knock on the door. He glanced at the clock. ‘Now, who would knock at my door at two-thirty in the morning?’

He got up from his chair and walked towards the door. “Can I help you…” he trailed off when he saw no one. “Odd, I thought I-MMPH!” A cloth was suddenly over him mouth. He tried to hit the person behind him, but he was starting to get drowsy. He fell to the floor and looked over where Dean was sleeping. He saw someone walking towards Dean before the world went black.

XxXxXxX

"AERO! BRANDON! WAKE UP!" Aero groaned and opened her eyes. She saw Brandon's arm was around her waist. She removed it gently but she saw he was starting to wake up due to the yelling outside the door.

"Whaza goin' on?" he asked, waking up.

"I don't know but I'll get it," said Aero, walking towards the door. She opened it and saw Susan was standing there, panic written all over her face. Aero smelt smoke.

"AERO!" yelled Susan, running in. "WE GOTTA GO!" That's when Aero saw the pack on her back.

"What's going on?"

"SOMEONE SET THE TOWN ON FIRE AND TREVOR, SAM, AND DEAN ARE MISSING!" Aero's eyes widen along with Brandon's. Before she could say anything, Brandon had his pack ready to go. Aero nodded and grabbed her pack that she left by the door last night.

'It's a good thing I didn't unpack it last night,' Aero thought, running towards on of the exits, Brandon and Susan running beside her.

They manage to get out into the Musa desert before they heard the tunnel collapse inside.

[demonickilla]

Morlas slowly walked through the desert. 'Damn it, where is the closest town? If only I had a map. Morlas scrowled.

"Well would you look at that, a tower!" Morlas noticed he said that out loud and then shuts up. 'Maybe if I get to the top of that tower I can see where the next town is. Morlas thought.

Morlas walked inside the tower, inside he found stairs climbing to the top of tower. 'perfect.' he thought.

Morlas slowly walked up the swirled stair case, watching behind him every once in a while, just incase. When he was almost at the top he found that there was a giant peice missing in the stair case. 'shit' He thought.

He backed up a little, then ran and easily cleared the hole. 'easier than I thought. suddenly the stair case started to shake and then started to fall apart. Morlas ran to the top before the entire thing got destoried.

Morlas looked through his bag to find binoculars. 'lucky that I stole these from that feline I killed. He looked through the binoculars, looking for a town. 'Ahhh, there's one. He looked at the town as much as he could. 'And it's not that far away.'

Morlas slowly climbed down the side of the tower, careful not to fall. When he finally made it to the bottom, he walked in the direction of the town. 'I need to fill up my water bottle.' He thought.

When Morlas walked into the town, a few people gave him weird looks. 'Whats eatting them?' Morlas thought. He walked into the market and looked around for some food. After he finished he walked out and looked for a water supply.

Soon Morlas found a shallow pond and there was a sign above it saying. 'Water Supply.' Morlas filled his water bottle up with it and suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"Well, well, well. Not staying long?" The voice sounded like a well worked man.

Morlas looked behind him to find the biggest canine he has ever seen in his life. "What, Why would I stay long?"

The canine unsheathed a long, sharp, brutal, blade. It looked like he was the only one who could pick it up, yet he held it with one hand.

Morlas unsheathed his two twisted daggers and applied his veil on his face. "You want to dance? Then i'll give you a dance."

The canine laughed. "You think you can kill me with those? Buhahahaha those are little butter knives compared to my sword."

Morlas looked at the sword. "That's a sword? I thought it was a club."

The canine looked frustrated. "Enough talk, let's fight!" The canine charged at Morlas, his blade above his head. Morlas held his ground until the canine brought the blade down. He just moved out of the way. Morlas then, jumped onto the canine's back and stabbing his knives in wherever he could. The canine screamed in pain, and grabbed Morlas in his giant hand, and threw him to the ground as hard as he could.

Morlas slammed into the hard sand. He slowly got back up and watched as the canine brought his big sword above his head.

"Game over little feline!" Suddenly a gun shot was heard. The canine fell to the ground with a bullet louged in his skull. Morlas looked around and saw a Male canine dressed in a long trench coat, sun glasses, and a scarf, which covered the bottom of his face. The canine was also wielding a sniper rifle.

Morlas got walked over to the canine and took off his veil. "Thanks, but why?"

The canine lowered his scarf and spoke. "That big, dumb canine has been threatening this town for a long time, I was just waiting for the perfect time to kill him." Every one in the town started to cheer, yelling "The bully's dead!!!!" in a cheerful, sing songy, tone. They must've been waiting for this time for a while. Morlas looked back where the sniper was, but he was gone. 'That sniper's a sneaky bastard, I'd better watch my back.'

Morlas walked up to the bully's body, and looked through his pockets. Morlas takes out a large map of the western region. "Perfect!" Morlas looked through it and pointed to where he was. He read the name of the desert he was in. "The Musa Desert."

[pvt tony]

I only walker a few meters when I got stopped by a large squad of feline and canine Arcane soldier. I looked quickly to see 3 felines riflemans, 4 canines Gunner, 1 feline sharpshooter and one feline officier.

-Drop your weapons! The officier said to me.
-Ok, ok, be patient! I answered, with a calm voice
-Don't mess with me, he said with a nervous voice.

I dropped my weapons, but not my hidden trench knife, I made a step toward the officier and I grabbed my knife, I sltitted the officier's throat and started a meelee fight: The sharpshooter ran toward me, he attacked me with the butt of his gun, he missed and I stabbed him in the face, by the same time, one of the gunners was rushing toward me, but I didn't see it comming, he grabbed my neck and tried to choke me. I kicked him in the guts wich liberated me from his iron grip. A rifleman was running toward me, I didn't saw it and I felled, unconcious.

(I thought this looked quite good until I saw I couldn't be human? Wtf, I don't want to be some purring wuss or a tail wiggling freak? Why can't I be a simple inventive human with no weird psychotic powers? The world you're referring to is obviously earth. I mean, hellooooooo home of humanity someone?)

[rainor]

(Well i imagine canines as humans :p,that explains the end of the history of my char.And i won't be able to do much to my char because prototype.)
(I changed a bit my chars history.)

After another five boring minutes we were in the city.Above the gate was painted in blue the name of the city, it was “Lago” (Gothic 3 anyone?).I soon found out that this city was placd around an oasis, an big one, and because here water means survival the defence of this city must be a good one.”We are here now get down.”
“Hey, where could I find the nearest police station?”
“N-E of here why?”,”I’m looking for a job” David said nothing, and i went to the nearest hotel i could find.As soon as i entered I realized that something was wrong, no one was at the reception and it smelled as blood.”Better get ready”I said to myself.

I slowly walked at the desk with my shotgun out, the smell of blood was stronger with every step i made. When I got there the image was taken from the most horror movie i thought. The head was cut in half, the eyes were gone and the body torn to shreads. In that moment i ran as fas as i could to the first floor.”*hard breathing* That was horrible”.And i decided to look for the one responsible for this.And because of my luck he was in the first room i searched, he was an canine of 30 or so years, orange fur,blue eyes, by the look of his face he was emotinless.He was surprised to see me and i was surprised to see him.

My commander.”Wha..What are you doing here sargent?”
“Asking some explains.Why did you do it?ANSWER!!!!”I aimed my shotgun at him.
“I did it because I CAN.”He started to run at me.
“You sick bastard.”I fired my shotgun but only hit him in the left arm.

“Your aim didn’t change much”He said that while drawing his sword.
I trown my shotgun and equiped the knife.In a short time the two blades made contact, the commander’s sword was sharpend recetly, with one swift move he took my knife and stabbed me.What i was seeing was blurred and dark, i was sure i’m going to die there, but my luck was endless i thought.The police arrived at the first floor right before he finnished me off.The last thing i’ve seen before passing out was the commander jumping from the window.

(@Killervirus, Then this isn't the RPG for you then.)

I found another motorcylce in the village. This one was valuable. An oldie, from way back in yesteryear, still runs on gas. Gonna run out of that soon, you never see that alot anymore, it's just plasma, plasma, and more plasma. I remember the good days. I wonder just how old i am.

I saw a button I never remembered on Motorcycles, and flipped it. The flaps under my legs extended, and plasma-infused swords presented themselves to me. Since it was the future, things like this was common. But these were really well manafactured. They had transparent casings so that you could still see the plasma swimming inside.

I had no destination really. I was just cruising along the road, about to find another village to probably satisfy my bloodlust... Life was drearily boring nowadays, sure it was apocalypse and devil kins roamed the street seeking pray, and war is everywhere. However, the real things that had mattered to me were more.. life experiences. Less violence, and killing. Heck, if i weren't a necro and actually needed the life force, why the hell would I kill people for fun. Well, it is quite fun. But that's just the necro in me.

Braking abruptly, I reached another city, visited by the horrors of war. Currently undergoing intensive renovations, I took in the scene around me. I could smell the blood that had been shed before, but bodies were nowhere. The people stalking the town were bandaged and wounded, dirty and unbathed. Filthy, this was just like any other village really.

I sighed, then stepped into the largest building, a chunk of it had disappeared. I sat down at a makeshift table and whistled. It was one of the things I had retained from humanity. Somewhere deep in my heart I felt something close to pity for the felines, who were almost dead, in the city. I knew that I would kill them soon. The feeling of pity almost affected me, I winced slightly, then dismissed it.

I was about to drift into daydreams when someone pulled me back into reality. "Hey!" She called.

It was a feline. Young and short, Long brown hair tied in twin-tails. Fierce, almond-shaped hazel eyes, a regal brow, a sharp nose, and a big mouth. Wore clothes dissimilar to the rest. Non-patched up, clean and sewn nicely, 100% leather. Was she different from the rest? She sure looked alot different.

"Hmm?" Was my reply.

"I haven't seen you here before. Are you a traveler?" She questioned me, taking her seat opposite me.

"You could call me that I guess." Traveler eh.. More like mass murderer. I monotonously replied to her, thinking she was nothing more than just another feline.

"Ah.. I see. Well, Mr. Traveler, What's your buisness in the humble town of Soldor?" She questioned me once again. Why was she so friendly? These times aren't exactly the best to be talking to strangers.

"Nothing I guess. Just passing. It's in my way."

"Eh? Then where's your destination?"

"... That's probably none of your buisness." She seemed to be taken aback, then smiled, revealing a sharp canine tooth.

"I probably could help you with that. I'm not just another feline. And by the looks of your clothes - neither are you." She was starting to interest me.

"Go on."

"Look, I can help you with information, about almost.. well, anything. I have contacts all over the world." She lied. I noticed her voice fluctuate. But I decided to play along.. What was she getting at?

"And how would that help me, really?"

"It's information. Everybody needs that.. right now." I decided to give it a shot.

"What about.. on the one they call The Silver Fang?"

"Hey. I actually know a lead on that one." She didn't lie there. Hmm... Just then, a bunch of big, burly canines appeared behind her. "Hey. You owe the boss something." One of them grunted.

"Something? I don't remembe-" The feline was halfway saying when one of them grabbed her neck and pinned her to the table.

"Give it back to us, and we won't hurt you."

"Hey, hey.. That's not a very nice way to greet a lady eh?" I interrupted.

"Whos you? Why the hell d'you care?" I couldn't be bothered replying, frankly, so I just drew the sword I was hiding in my cape, and cleaved his arm off. The man cried in agony as he watched blood rush out of his severed arm. The two men next to him lunged at me. They lacked coordination in their limbs and were clumsy. Naturally, if they hit me, I probably would get hurt really bad, but they took care of each other for me. Big bodies aren't exactly the best thing.

I tripped them easily and decided to let them live. I WAS in public after all. I walked away without a word, ignoring the insults they hurled at me. Insulting after I just spared their lives, how bloody rude!

That feline girl had escaped, somehow. And later, I soon found out, that she had took my bloody bone dust. I'll get her. Whoever she is, young and pretty. I'll still hunt her down, and eventually, kill her.

[nrocha20]

(Killervirus, do you even understand the meening of "Alternate Reality"?)

"Were fucked" The Sarge said, his ears going down with his embedded saddness and fear. Outside the window he saw no signs of intelligent life, just mutalated boddies and toppled vehicles. Along with the chaos was an uncountable number of Devil Kin.

"What are we gonna do Sarge?" Vince said, reloading his AK-52.

"Were just going to have to complete the mission." He replied, his tail starting to go down to. "Prepare to fire on the controls."

"Wait." Martin said, standing up. "I have an idea"

He walked over to the controls and played around with the buttons. The Gunners noticed on one of the security moniters in the garage, the door was opening, slowely revealing an Arcane prototype tank.

"Aren't recon reports grand?" Martin said, pulling out his .45 Handgun.

"So, your saying we should head down to the garage and hijack this tank?"

"Yep. I'll drive."

Martin and the five gunners rushed out of the room only to be ambushed by three Devil Kin. Each DK started ripping apart a gunner. The Sarge unleashed a hail of lead, killing the three monstrocities. Unfortunatly the three gunners were already dead. Vince blessed them, and the three survivors ran down the spiral staircase. And toward a double doors with a sign the said "Prototype-keep out" above them. The double doors were guarded by four Devil Kin. The Sarge, quick as ever, killed two of them. Martin was able to get three shots in one of them. And Vince, whom was just tackled, broke the last ones neck without sustaining an injury. The three made it through the door and picked off the access card from a dead Arcane Feline Pilot. The tank had a rovolving LaZer turret at the top, which appeared to be automatic, and was even bigger then the "King Tiger" tank Martin read about in history books. The cannon was most likely a plasma cannon, judging from the large tanks on the back of the rovolving head. The three slipped through the hatch, that was actually located in a space on the back of the head. Martin got in the driver seat, Sarge got in the LaZer turret, and Vince got in the cannon sights.

"Wow, this is... uh... this is complex..." Martin understated, playing with the clutch, after a few minutes of messing around Martin got the tank started.

"Why arent we moving?!" The Sarge yelled.

"I cant figure this- uuugh" Martins head started to feel funny, and it seemed as though he had driven this tank a hundred times. "We have enough plasma for two cannon shots, plenty of laZer cells, and enough energy to get us back to base." Martin started pressing buttons and pulling levers faster then Vince could move his eyes. The tank started and was off, the way out was a little bumpy, due to the many Devil Kin running around, and the Sarge was having fun shooting any of the spawn that decided to jump on the tank.

"Vince, shoot the large, armored glass window on the second story." Martin ordered.

Vince fired the cannon blowing the entire second story of the factory to kingdom come. Martin continued to speed the tank, which amazingly made 120mph. They made it out of the faculty when Vince decided to speak up.

"Glad were out of that mess..." He said spying the large ditch that Martin had to use a rock ramp to jump over.

[pvt tony]

I woke up in a small place, witha big canine gunner in front of me, in his black Arcane uniform. He said:

'were are you from, answer!' he yelled

'everywere, I have no location, no place were I live, I travel alone, killing scumbags like you' I slowly answered

' You little...' he said before his, even more, ugly friend told him that he wasn't allowed to hit a P-O-W.

He headed toward me and said:

' Don't mess with me, kid, were are you from, and I want your mission orders, now' he said, with infinite patience.

' My location? I alredy told this to your friend. And for my mission, it's only to survive day after day to take my revenge on all the Arcane soldiers who destroyed my familly.' I answered, again.

'You are weak, you think that, alone, you will take out a whole empire?' He asked while laughing.

'Ofcorse' I asked while kicking the table.

The huge metal object felled on the ground like a mass. But the guard in back of me was too fast and he knocked me with the butt of his rifle. i woke up several hours later in a dirty cell...

[demonickilla]

Morlas waited as the soldier walked past. 'What's a canine soldier doing in this part of the west?' Morlas thought to him self. Usally you would'nt even see a gun for miles. Guns were very rare in this part of the west, the people who did have guns were usally outsiders.

'A gun would be useful around here.' Morlas smiled and put his veil on. Morlas noticed that all the soldier had was a handgun. Morlas did'nt know guns well. He has seen a couple of snipers before, but not that many. Most snipers keep to themselves.

Morlas walked sneakily, hiding behind rocks and plants while the soldier walked on. Soon Morlas was a throwing distance. he did'nt usually throw his knives about, but this man had a gun, going in melee would be sucide without him distracted.

Morlas brought one of his knives over his shoulder, he tossed it as perfect as he could, the knife went into the canine's shoulder. The canine yalped and looked around confused. The blood was dripping to the sand.

Morlas ran at the confused canine and stabbed him twice, The canine backed up and aimed the gun at Morlas, but he was too weak, his hand was shaking and when he shot it missed Morlas by a mile.

Morlas finished the canine off by ripping his first dagger out of his shoulder and stabbing it into the canine's face. He wiped the blood on the daggers onto the canine's shirt.

Morlas took the handgun and looked at it more close. He played around with it and finally found out how to reload. 'Well this is interesting. He thought to him self. He searched the body for ammo and found a bag full of clips, and magazines. He laughed and put most of his stuff into the ammo bag, it was bigger then his old one. He put the ammo bag on his back and was off. With a brand new gun. Maybe his luck was changing.

[Silitor]

I had spent the night sleeping in a tent. A lousily prepared tent that immediately decided to collapse on me when I woke up. Perfect.

I clambered out of the mess I single-handedly had nothing to do with, and left it lying there, a mess on the outskirts of town. Why I have such an old-fashioned tent is beyond me. I walked back into town, determined to find that feline whom I had saved the day before.

I looked in every nook and cranny of the town, avoiding awkward stares from wounded people, but to no avail. She had slipped out of my reach, but came back into it almost immediately. "Lookin' for me?" She had chimed, on top of a roof and releasing the bone dust on top of my head.

"Why do you keep dust inside your chest pocket?" She teased, jumping off to stand beside me.

"You bloody little pickpocket. I save your life and you steal my possessions. I should kill you." I replied venomously.

"But what would killing me help you? And don't call me ungrateful." She bowed sincerely. "Thank you for saving my life. The stealing your possession was just a bad habit, I won't do it again."

"Hmph. There will be no more again. Tell me about the Silver fang." I lost my normal voice, and returned to the cold, necro one I became accustomed to.

"Right to the point, aren't we?" She grinned, looking deep into my eyes. "But first thing's first-" In a blink of an eye, she flung my hat off. This girl... Had guts.

"I knew it. You aren't a Feline... Nor are you a Canine. Spill it Necro, Are you here to destroy this village for your... 'union'?" She threatened.

"Firstly, I applaud you for discovering my identity, Secondly, I'm not here on union buisness. This town is just a snack really." Her ears twitched uncomfortably.

"Just a snack eh? Is that what Feline's are to you?" She snarled, revealing her fangs and claws.

"More or less. In this war-torn world, What else can I think of them as?"

"One last thing, How come you're so different from the rest of the Necros? So.. Sophisticated." I decided to make her snap.

"I'm different? Must be that I killed so many more insignificant lives." Without really thinking, she lunged at me. She had a gun which shone brilliantly in the sun, a sleek, silver pistol. She fired once, a blue bullet erupted from the gun and sliced my cheek.

There was no time to hesitate, I brandished my sword and struck. She parried the blow with her gun and sidestepped, causing me to lose my balance. I lashed out at her once again, missing and cutting a chunk out of the wall. Frankly, I lost the battle after losing my balance.

She pinned me to the ground, breaking my arm, I shouted out in pain, then felt cold steel pressing against the back of my head. This was it. I would die because of a rash decision. Fitting death for a murderer I guess. I closed my eyes and embraced the cold hand of death...

"EH." My eyes flung open. I was still alive. I rolled over, staring upwards into the eyes of the person who supposedly ended my life. We stared at each other in silence for a few moments.

"Why'd you spare me?" I asked, defiance flaring in my eyes.

"You could prove useful... To me. I'm going against the Arcane empire."

"Hah! You must be mad, woman. One person against an empire? You're insane." I taunted, struggling to talk.

"I have my reasons. And I need your help."

"No-" I got up, using the rest of my energy to stand up halfway, she backed off. When I stood upright, I finished what I needed to say. "Bloody' way."

"Hey, I just saved-"

"Spared" I interrupted abruptly, she didn't seem to hear and went on.

"Your life, alright? And, Oh sorry yeah, spared. Just so you can help me."

"I did not ask you to spare me."

"...So you'd rather die?" This question paused my train of thought. No, I did not want to die, at least not until I killed The silver fang. She had spared me, but I had saved her, from where I came from way back, that's call a fair trade.

"I saved you. You spared me, Fair trade." She was taken aback at this statement. She knew it true that I was not bound to her words for she had legally returned the favour. There was no other favours to be given out.

"Then... Then I'll kill you if you don't follow!" She squeaked, pointing the gun at me.

"What? Can't pull the trigger?" I said, narrowing my eyes.

It was not that she couldn't, she just, did not want to. Hmph. I had no time to entertain a child like this. But, quite frankly, I had nowhere else to go. And watching this girl take on the arcane empire would be, frankly, quite bloody interesting.

"What the heck, I'll follow you." I ended up saying.

"Really? To destroy the arcane empire?" She said, her eyes had lit up.

"I don't think the two of us can destroy such a big organisation, but i'll tag along and see you try. It'll be interesting, but don't expect me to go out of my way to save you. I'll help, but not much. Besides, you're an interesting woman."

"Hmph." She smirked, licking her lips. "Then we better get going, Necro."

"I'm a feline. FELINE." I said, picking up my hat and covering my non-eared head.

"Yeah yeah, right right. Let's move. By the way, what's your name?"

"Joseph Pariah."

"Alright, Pariah. My name's Katherine Hemond. It's nice to meet you."

[pvt tony]

I woke up in a small and dark cell. Another guy was standing beside me, smoking a cigarette.

' Want one?' he asked me.

'I... I don't smoke.' I answered, still a little knocked off.

'You should, it calm nerves.' he said while finishing his cigarette.

'No thanks, my nerves are okay.' I answered, convicted to never touch tobacco.

'What's your name, and why are you here?' He asked curiously.

'You can call me Dave, I killed two Arcane officiers, one sniper and two gunners.' I answered quickly. 'Now your turn' I firmly said to him.

'I am John Hartman, I killed alot of Arcane soldier until a sneaky rifleman caught me, he knocked me off from behind.' He told me, angry about his only weakness.

'Well John, why don't we escape from this hell' I asked him, convicted to get out of this dirty cell.

'Now? And how?' He asked, with a bit of despair in his voice.

'hummm, I... don't know, let's wait and seize the opportunity.' I answered, out of ideas.

'tomorrow, the allied felines are gonna launch an assault on this jail, I think this will be our opportunity.' John answered me.

'How do you know?' I curiously asked.

'I was in the tactical batallion of the feline army before my arrest, I never revealed this detail.' he said, with a bit of nostalgia while talking about his past.

'let's go take some rest, we will have a long day tomorrow.' John added.

(This is short because I'm waiting to talk to somebody[they know who they are] and I'm feeling partically lazy)

"It's so hot..." whined Susan, taking a sip of water.

"Yes Susan, Musa would be hot," answered Aero, eye twitching as she looked at a map. They were currently in the shade of a sand-dune, taking a break. It’s been two days since the fall of Musa and Brandon and Susan weren’t doing as well as Aero, who was used to this kind of stuff.

“What are you looking at?” questioned Brandon, looking over Aero’s shoulder. Aero opened her mouth to say something, but a falcon cry was heard. She glanced up and held out her arm. A white and black falcon landed on her arm. In its beak was a rolled up piece of paper. She dug out bread and gave it to the falcon, which in return dropped the paper. She opened it and glanced through it.

‘Looks like we’re making a side trip,’ thought Aero, nodding her head towards the falcon. The falcon let out a cry and flew off. Aero put the paper in her backpack and looked at the map. ‘I don’t think they’ll mind. It’s shorter than the original plan,’

“Breaks over,” she said, brushing off the sand in her fur and on her clothes. “We got an hour walk so let’s move it.” The other two groaned, but got up.

[pvt tony]

(my post are always short!)

[K.T.O_o]

(Sorry I posted so late, but I just got back to my dad's and my mom's house doesn't have a comp.)

Hanaki sat alone on a dried out tree branch, in the shade of the canyon wall. It was noon in the dessert and she had no intention of moving. She was comfortable, even in the heat and preferred to sit alone. Or rather, she just hated being around others. It made her feel more like a freak. She pushed away the sudden images of her small village burning and sheilded her eyes to look at the sky. It was almost impossible, the sun was so bright.

"Damn, I'm bored!" she said to herself, curling her trigger finger around the trigger of her sniper rifle. "I wish something would happen soon."

[Bloodshot]

(Can I join?)

[pvt tony]

(I don't think so, the one week period to enter the RPG is over.)

[shadow_strike]

“Aero,” whined Susan, wiping the sweat on her fur. “When are we going to get there? It’s been two hours. You said one.”

“Well Susan,” growled Aero, “We would be there but it seems SOMEONE has to have a break every ten minutes. And if we don’t stop for a break, a certain Feline will start to whine about not getting a break and then we have to stop so the Feline can get a break, which last five minutes!” Susan stared at Aero.

“Well, maybe if Brandon wasn’t so weak,” commented Susan. “Maybe we wouldn’t have to stop all the time.”

“Susan.”

“Yes?”

“I swear to God that if you don’t shut the fuck up, I will hurt you and you know I can. AND NO MORE BREAKS!”

“What?!” yelled Susan. “I need those breaks!”

“No you don’t,” snarled Aero, spinning on her foot to face Susan. “I think you stated Brandon needed those breaks, not you. So shut up!” When Susan didn’t answer, Aero ran off.

“Brandon…what’s wrong with Aero?” Susan looked up at the male Feline, who was staring at Aero.

“She’s probably stressed about what was on that piece of paper,” said Brandon.

“What’s on it?”

“I don’t know.” As they were talking, they never noticed Aero was dipping her knives in bottles of poison.

‘This is going to suck, but I never know…’ Aero quickly put up her stuff when she heard Brandon and Susan approach. “Let’s go. We’re almost there.” She turned on her heel and walked off, letting Brandon and Susan lag behind.

XxXxXxX

“Wow, this is so beautiful,” commented Susan in awe, staring at the city. Harlemette was located where the DFW area of Texas was. (There, you have a general location. They’re in north Texas. The Musa desert covers most of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arkansas.)

“You two can explore,” said Aero, putting on a black cloak. “I got a job to do.” She blended into the shadows, disappearing from her groups view.

“Well,” started Brandon, holding out his arm. “Shall we go exploring?”

“Yes my kind sir,” giggled Susan, looping her arm though his. “We shall.”

XxXxXxX

Aero scowled as she watched a group of Felines conversing at a table. ‘Why do I have to be hired for this stuff? “Because you’re the best Aero. No one can do the job like you do.” I hope I get some juicy information out of this while I’m at it.’

“So,” said the brown Feline, “is there a reason why you gathered us here today on the day of your daughters wedding?” The other Felines glared at him.

“Now’s not the time for jokes,” said the gray Feline. “We’re here today because of the rumor of a Necro. It’s said that the Necro has two Felines hostages.” Aero raised her eyebrows in the shadows.

‘Why would I be sent here to spy on this? Everyone knows about that unless…’ She ducked just in time as a bullet went through the wall where her head previously was. She rolled out of the way as more bullets came from the Uzi’s the two Felines who were talking as the other two made everyone run out of the bar.

“Well, looks like we have a little spy boys,” chuckled a red Feline, bringing out a katana.

“Why don’t you show us your face? We like to know the look on the face of the Feline we kill,” growled the orange Feline. (They are now known as Brown, Gray, Red, and Orange.) Aero glared under her hood, not that they could see it.

“Guess we’ll just have to take it off!” They all charged at Aero. She grinned as Orange was at her first, weapon-less. She took out one of her knives and stabbed him in the stomach. He was about to punch her but he froze. He looked at the knife in his stomach and saw the poison coated on it. He was about to yell to the others but Aero’s claws penetrated his neck. He gurgled and Aero crinkled her nose in disgust.

“Nasty,” she muttered, ripping of Orange’s head with a sickening crack. Blood pored out where his head once was. She tossed Orange’s head towards Brown and Gray. She laughed silently as she saw the freak out over the head.

“AH!” yelled Red, charging at her. She didn’t move in time and the right side of her face from her forehead to her chin was cut. ‘I’m surprised it didn’t get my eye.’ She glared and hit his shoulder, making him drop his katana. He gasped in shock and Aero hit his knees. He crumbled to the ground. Aero stepped on his throat and then stabbed him in the heart.

She got up and looked at the other two. They were shaking. She walked towards them and that seemed to snap them out of their stupor. They started to shoot at her. She flinched as she felt bullets graze her fur, one even going through her arm. She continued to walk towards the shooters. She could feel the nervousness and fear coming off of them and that made her grin.

Aero jumped in the air, brought out a knife, and stabbed Gray in the head as she landed. She quickly picked up Gray’s Uzi and shot Brown in the legs. She dropped the Uzi and picked up Brown.

“Tell me what you know about what happen to Trevor and Dean Copper and Sam River.” Brown started to stutter but Aero growled. “TELL ME!”

“I-I-I tho-thought T-Trevor C-Copper wa-was w-w-working f-f-for S-Smelt” Aero’s eyes harden and she dropped Brown to the ground with a thud. She took the Uzi that she dropped and shot Brown. She picked up the other Uzi and walked out of the bar, covered in blood and holes.

XxXxXxXxX

Susan and Brandon were standing on the edge of the city. They got a call from Aero and they been waiting there for the past five minutes. “What’s taking her so long?” asked Susan, lying on the sand.

“Maybe she was on a different part of t-my God…AERO! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!” Susan looked up and saw Aero, bloody and carrying two Uzi’s. Brandon ran towards her. He frowned when he saw the scar on the right side of her face. “What happened,” he asked quietly, putting his finger on the scar.

“A katana. I found out Trevor.” Aero spat out the name like it was something foul. “Is working for Smelt.” Brandon and Susan froze.
“Are you sure?” questioned Susan.

“I don’t know, but you can’t be too sure. He is rising in power. Let’s go. We have another town to hit. And when it’s sundown, we are taking a brea-” Aero didn’t get to finish because she fell asleep. Brandon grinned as he picked up Aero.

“Let’s go find a good place to rest for the night.” Susan and Brandon walked back into town, not noticing a pair of black eyes watching them.

[ShadowDancer]

(God, this is a crappy post. Oh well.)

The Canine charged at Rin and swung his fist at her head. Rin ducked and stabbed him in the chest with her Katana. She watched as he dropped dead onto the floor.

"Who's next?" She asked, cleaning her blade. The other Canines were shocked by how fast she had killed their comrade. They stood there for a few seconds, until one pulled out an M16 rifle and started shooting at Rin.

"DIE!" He screamed, firing it like there was no tomorrow. Rin sheathed her Katana as she dodged the flurry of bullets. She took out two throwing knives and threw them at the mad Canine. The knife landed right between his eyes. The second knife thrown went through the throat of the Canine beside him. They both dropped dead. Only three more to go, She thought, drawing her bow and shooting the last male Canine, who was attempting to flee. The arrow embedded itself in his chest, causing him to drop to the floor in pain.

Meanwhile, Devon was trying to open the steel door that held them inside, but it wouldn't budge. He rammed into as hard as he could, but only caused himself more pain. He stumbled backwards. That wasn't one of the smartest things I've done, thought Devon, rubbing his shoulder.

"Uh... Devon?" Kayla called.

"What?" He asked.

"Have you tried pulling it?"

"..." Devon grabbed the handle and pulled it towards him. The door creaked open slowly. "Oh..." He said stupidly.

"You won't get away that easily!" The last Canine said as she charged towards Devon with a knife in her hand. Rin rushed in front of Devon and deflected the attack with her Katana. The knife flew from her hand and landed across the room. She barely had time to think before Rin slashed her throat, causing blood to spray everywhere.

"Mommy!" The small Canine cried as she rushed over to her dead mother. Rin raised her Katana to strike the helpless child when Kayla stopped her, again.

"She's just a child!" She cried. Rin stood there for a moment before she silently sheathed her Katana. She then turned and walked out the door.



"Um... Thanks for saving me back there," Devon muttered as they left the town.

"You're no use to me dead," She stated without looking at him.

"So, where are we going?" Kayla asked.

"The closest town is Harlemette," Rin replied, "We'll stop there and get some supplies." Devon and Kayla nodded silently as they followed Rin through the desert.

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki yawned and pulled herself up. Now that the sun wasn't quite so high, it was a little cooler, but still the heat beat on her furless skin. She stretched and bent down to pick up the half full canteen and small pack by her feet. She needed to get somewhere before it got dark and the 'nasties', as she called them, came out to play. Hanaki pulled out her map to look at the safest route to her next destination. Harlemette wasn't all that far away, but there were things you had to watch out for in the desert. Like quicksand, sink holes, and scorpions. If you were really unlucky, you would wind up facing a pack of dessert hyenas. Not very nice things. She packed the map away after mapping her route and started hiking. As a precaution, she threw her white gloves and long-sleeved jacket with a hood on. She'd change it to black as soon as she reached the city, but for now the white fought off the sun. It was going to be a hot journey, but Hanaki would rather face heat then ridicule any day.

'Shouldn't be too far if I keep walking.' she thought. Usually, Necro's weren't so optimistic, but in this case, she'd rather be.

She climbed out of the canyon easily and stepped right into the blazing heat of the afternoon dessert. Her mouth already yearned for water, but she knew that fighting the urge to drink now would probably save her later. She walked into the sand, her feet sinking ever so slightly into the grainy sand. It was going to be looooooong journey.

Hanaki strapped the pack around her waist and put the canteen over her shoulder. Her ears were strained for sounds of shifting sand, indicating either a sink hole or quicksand nearby. She'd have to be sure to avoid those areas. As she walked the heat seemed to grow and the jacket grew heavier. Leather, white or not, was not the best choice when she had been shopping. But the lady behind the counter had been eyeing her so strangely that she had slapped the two jackets she'd been looking at on the counter, snarled 'Yeah, I don't have fur!! What are you going to do about it!?', paid the price that the lady had stuttered, and walked out of the store so fast that she had to go back because she had forgotten her gun in one of the stalls. Now she wished she'd been a little more tolerant. At least long enough to have bought a lighter weight jacket. Oh, well. At least it beat having to wear a mask in public. She set her eyes on the horizon and continued the long trudge through the sand.

[demonickilla]

Morlas woke up at the sound of some one feasting. He turned his head to see five devil kin feeding on an unlucky feline.

Morlas got up and instatly hid behind the tree he was sleeping under, and fumbled his gun out of his back pack. He loaded the gun up with nine bullets and aimed at one of the devil kin. he shot and hit the devil kin in the neck. 'Not really what i was aiming for, but that's alright.' Morlas thought.

The four devil kin looked straight at Morlas and hissed. Morlas did'nt need his veil to kill these things. The veil was used to conseil his identity, but devil kin don't usally alert the authorities about him.

One devil kin leaped at Morlas while the other three fed. The devil kin barley missed Morlas. Morlas shot three times, very badly. but two made home in the devil kin.

Now the three were after him. Morlas made a run for it and saw a ruined building. He leaped up and grabbed onto a low window. He climbed up with the devil kin on his heels. He finally made it to the top when one of the devil kin made it up.

Morlas grabbed the devil kin and tossed him off the edge with all his might. By then the two last devil kin were up. One of the devil kin slashed wildly at Morlas. Some just catching his face. Morlas fell to the ground and shot four times only once it actually hitting the devil kin.

The last devil kin ran at Morlas, Morlas knew he had only one bullet. He held his breath as he shot. The bullet went right into the devil kins eye.

Morlas breathed out. He climbed down the building, went to the tree he sleept under, and fell asleep once more.

[Silitor]

(I realised, you all have a bad habit of choosing characters that are oh, so similar. No offence, but from what i've read, they're all extremely accurate, powerful, badass and awesome. And also, they make proud comments while fighting like "who's next," or "Is that all you've got?" I mean, it's not bad to have a badass character, but when everyone in the RPG has one, then well, that's not very good eh? Just a friendly notice, i'm not telling you to change. It'd just be... better to give your character abit more depth.)

"Bye bye." Katherine said to the person in front of her, who was thanking him for everything she did for the city. We turned and left, they had given us a jeep.

We drove wordlessly on the road until we reached the next town. It was called Forlorn. We drove right into it and into a inn, where we discussed plans.

"So. Do you have any idea where the hell the HQ of the arcane empire is?" I began.

"No." She replied straight.

".... Then?"

"Then what?"

"What are we going to do now?"

"We'll find them."

"So you're telling me our... 'plan' is to wander around aimlessly until we find the arcane empire?"

"Or... we could cause enough trouble to them, and they'll find US."

"... True.. But first we need to find an Arcane camp.. no?"

"Yeah. We'll find one after resting tonight."

Morning soon came. Blood splattered on my window. "Ah. What a nice sight to see in the morning." I yawned, then realisation hit me like a bowling ball. I jumped out of the bedsheets and looked outside. The city was being pillaged, a battalion of soldiers were flooding through the town, killing everyone in sight. One saw me in the window and fired after taking aim, I fell to the floor, his bullet making a hole in my top hat. I proceeded to waking Kat up.

"Kat! KAT! Wake up! The town's under siege!" I bellowed at her. Her eyelids flung open and she resolutely jumped out of her bed. She fumbled for her clothes and changed out of her nightgown. She threw the nightgown out of the window and- "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" I Shouted, watching her jump out of the window. I Ran to the window edge and watched them open fire on her. The Nightgown, surprisingly, was bulletproof and the bullets ricocheted off harmlessly.

She jumped back into the building by use of the window downstairs and returned fire with her handgun. She had immediately jumped into the fray without thinking... Brilliant. I'll take the stairs.

[nrocha20]

(Im just putting something small in right now)

Martins head started to spin with ideas when he saw the natural obstacle.

"Vince!" Martin yelled over the engine, "Tuen the cannon so it faces behind us! And bring it as low as it will go!"

Vince turned the cannon into the position Martin unprofessionally yelled. Martin then sped toward the ditch.

"Driver! You'd better not be doing what I think your doing!" The Sarge yelled from the turret.

Martin then sped the tank as fast as it could possibly go and both tracks went over rocks, giving the tank a slight incline. The moment the cannon was at a perfect angle, Martin yelled, "FIRE!"

Vince slammed the button that caused the plasma cannon to fire, the blast was enough to rocket the lightweight tank across the ditch. The front half of the tank landed on the other side of the ditch, but it had enough power to pull itself fully across.

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki struggled to see into the thick sandstorm that had started an hour ago. She had been forced to put on her mask to keep the sand from blinding and choking her, but the heat was only added in these kinds of storms and the mask only mad it worse. Sweat poured down her furless skin and soaked the tank top underneath her jacket. She felt relieved that she had decided to wear pants because if she hadn't her legs would be bloody shreds of skin and flesh right now.

She pushed against the strong wind and through the sand that was piling up around her as the wind stirred more and more grains into the air. She breathed hard with the effort and held her jacket tightly around herself to prevent any sand from fighting it's way down her sleeves. She could hardly hear anything past the howling of the wind and she could swear it sounded just like the howling of a coyote in pain.

Wait a second! There was a coyote howling in pain! She could see it just through the blinding sand. She struggled forward, her heart wrenching with every pained yowl. Hanaki hated to see and animal in pain (or a living creature for that matter) and she was lucky enough that she had green energy which aloud her to heal anything physical. She reached the pitiful looking creature and attempted to kneel by it, but it snapped at her in desperate attempts to protect itself.

"It's okay, it's okay buddy....." Hanaki spoke in soothing tones as best she could above the wind. It took a while, but the coyote finally calmed down long enough, allowing Hanaki to pull out her spare jacket and shield him from anymore sand. She would wait for the sandstorm to die down before she would analyze how badly the coyote was hurt.

"Don't worry boy, we'll get through this." The coyote whimpered. "I think I'll call you Buddy." The important thing was to keep the animal calm. She didn't want him panicking and attacking her. She tucked her masked face against the side of Buddy's broad back and continued talking to him soothingly.

[demonickilla]

(Come on guys, start posting)

Morlas walked, and walked, and walked. 'God damnit, I should have bought a hat at the last town.' Morlas thought as the sun shone in his face.

'Ahh look there's a town' Morlas watched as the town gradually came into view. He immediately went into the inn, he had'nt eaten for a while, and he wanted some good food, not the rubbish he had bought days before.

As Morlas walked into the door, the bouncer gave him a tough look. Morlas looked back at him and he backed down. Morlas walked into the mess hall and herd the usual, laughing, cheering, singing, and of course, music. He sat down at one of the empty tables as he waited for the waiters to come by.

After about two minutes a waiter came by. "What will you be having today, sir?"

"What ever you think is good." Morlas tossed a small sack of money at the waiter.

"Of course, sir." And the waiter was off.

After what seemed like an eternity of listening to drunken idiots sing, his food arrived. It was a large bowl of soap with a side of bread. Morlas took a spoon and dug into the soup.

When Morlas finally finished his soup, it was late afternoon, and even more drunken idiots, with the occasional sobber one, entered the mess hall. Morlas dicided he would stay the night at the inn. 'Better then sleeping outside. Morlas thought.

He walked up to a plump bald man, who Morlas assumed was the innkeeper. "Can I help you, sir?" the plump bald man asked.

"Yes, I would like to rent a room for the night." Morlas reached into his pocket.

"Oh yes, ofcourse." The innkeeper told Morlas the price. Morlas raised his eye brows. It was quite alot for just one night, but then again, these days with D.K.s running around, with the necro's, and the arcane empire, prices have never been higher, less resources and bad economy can do that to a region.

Morlas paid the good man and the innkeeper handed him the room key, it had the numbers #6 printed on it. He walked up stairs and found the room 6, He opened the door and instantly jumped in bed and fell asleep.

[pvt tony]

I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep, stressed about the day I will have to live, where are my weapons? Will they free us anyways? Are they gonna kill us? So many questions were killing me. I just sat on my bed and thinked a long moment of time before tiredness finally won on me. I lay down on my bed an slept.

The thing that woke me up was the deafening sound of artillery...

[shadow_strike]

“She going…ok?”

“I…know.”

“I…she…up soon.”

“So…Susan,…I…do I.”

O-O-O-O

“Step forward.” Aero was thrown to the ground. She groaned while standing up. She tried to brush the dirt off of her, but the shackles on her wrist wouldn’t let her. She growled when she saw Aaron standing there, looking at her with no emotion. Her own twin for Christ sake! She snarled at him and he stepped back. The guards beside her pointed their AK-47’s at her. The chief of the tribe, Lance, looked at her.

“You know why you’re here today?” Aero’s eyes snapped towards Lance. She smirked darkly.

“Apparently for raping a woman. Again I ask, how that is humanly possible?” Lance glared at her.

“She described you in perfect detail.”

“And I have an alibi.” Lance sighed and pinched his snout. ‘Who has a snout? I mean seriously, the only things that have snouts are…male…Necros…’ When Lance saw Aero’s eyes widen and look at his snout, he knew he was discovered.

“Aero Ray Kasper, you are here by banned from this tribe. If you are ever seen on these lands, you are to be arrested on site.” Mutters broke out.

“Wait a minute!” yelled Aaron, stepping forward. “That’s not fair!”

“Oh, now you stand up for me?” snarled Aero. “You just worried about that if you get injured, no one will heal you. In fact, if you get rid of me, no one can heal you. I’m the only medic here and I haven’t trained anyone. So I’m glad I’m banned. I don’t wish you luck when you get into fights with other tribes.” As she talked, the guards unchained her. Lance eyes widen when he realized that. Aero started to back up.

“GET HER!” Roared Lance. Guards started to advance on Aero. She smirked and felt a power surge in her body.

“Seeyaboys! I’mouttaofhere!” Aero said, running away, leaving an after image of herself because of the speed she was traveling at.

O-O-O-O

Aero groaned. “Who ran me over,” she muttered, opening her eyes. She saw that it was 5:16 PM. She looked at herself. Bandages were around her arms, legs, and head. “I look like I did get ran over. Twice. By my ex-boyfriend.”

“What ex-boyfriend?” asked Brandon, walking into the room. He threw a pair of clothes at her.

“Wouldn’t you like to know. Now, leave, I must change.” He got a perverted grin.

“It’s not like-”

“Out!”

“Fine. Sheesh, bitchy.” Aero threw a pillow at his head. “What was that for?!”

“Comparing me to a female Canine. Now, leave!” Brandon grumbled, but left the room. Aero peeled the bloody and destroyed clothes off of her and changed into new ones. It was a pair of black jeans, a gray tank top with a black jacket. She slipped on the combat boots and walked out of the room. Susan was wearing a brown shirt with black shorts and Brandon had on blue shirt and gray jeans. They both looked up from the TV.

“Can we go to Target?” asked Susan. “A CD that I want is out and I have the money to buy it.”

“Sure. Besides, we need to get supplies anyway.” Brandon grabbed the room key and they walked out of the hotel room.

XxXxXxXxX

“What to get…”muttered Aero, looking the fruit before her. “Pineapple or oranges?” Brandon took Susan to the electronic section, seeing that he had to get some stuff, so Aero was stuck with getting supplies. She got six oranges and two carts of cut up pineapple. “There, now we can all have some.” She looked at the list in her hand. “Bread. Ok, that should be easy.” She pushed the cart and looked around.

“You ask her.”

“No, you.”

“Devon, just ask her.” Aero turn around and saw two Felines on the dairy isle. The female Feline was 5’3, had purple fur, ocean blue eyes, and was wearing black shorts and a gray shirt. The male Feline was 5’10, had gray fur, electric blue eyes, wearing a red muscle shirt and blue jeans, and had a sword strapped to his waist. They both glanced in her direction once in a while. Aero blinked and walked towards them. She stood behind them and they didn’t notice until she spoke.

“Can I help you?” she asked. They both jumped. The male took out his sword and pointed it at her neck. Aero blinked at the sword at her neck. “Uh…”

The female Feline got over the scare first and hit the male Feline, who took the sword away from Aero’s neck. “Yes. I’m Kayla and this is my brother Devon. We were wondering if you could help us.”

Aero again blink and slowly put her hand in her pocket, feeling the handle of her knife. “Help you with what exactly?”

“Help us find our family,” said Devon. Aero glanced at them both.
“And why are you asking me of all people?”

“Because,” said Kayla. “You look like a person who would help us.” Aero thought about it. If she let them join, there would be more protection. But if they did join, that means more mouths to feed. Aero sighed.

“You can join.” Devon and Kayla cheered. “On one condition. You have to pay for your own stuff.” Devon and Kayla nodded. “Good. Now, we have to look for…” Aero blinked and looked the list again. “Uh, we’re skipping that one.”

“Why?” asked Devon. “What does it say?”

“Something not appropriate for you Devon.”

“Tell me.”

“No.”

“Just tell me.”

“Fine. Tampons. We have to get tampons.” Devon blushed.

“We can skip that one.”

“Good. Now, to get…Brandon is an ass. We’re skipping the next one too.” Aero glared at Devon, who was opening his mouth to ask why. “And if you ask, I’ll do terrible things to you with a spork. Shut up and enjoy this little hunt to find stuff.” Devon wisely shut his mouth.

XxXx

Devon was carrying most of the stuff out of Target, talking to Brandon while Kayla was talking to Susan. Aero looked at the city. It got windier and darker as they were shopping. “Well, look who I finally found.” Aero looked to her right and saw a black Feline, ‘I think it’s a Feline.’, walk towards them. Kayla and Devon were frozen in place, mouths open wide. Aero looked at them with confusion.

‘Who is she? What does she want? How did she even find where we were? And how do Devon and Kayla know who her?’

[ShadowDancer]

"I turn my back on you guys for one minute and the next thing I know you're gone." Rin walked over to Devon and Kayla, ignoring the confused Felines. "Did you really think you could get away that easily?" She asked them.

"We're sorry!" Kayla apologized, "It's just that... We needed to..."

"Get some Tampons for Kayla!" Devon shouted loud enough for the entire parking lot to hear. "She's having her--" Kayla punched Devon in the face before he could continue.

"You didn't have to yell!" She screamed at him.

"Neither did you!" He replied, rubbing the spot where Kayla's fist had made contact.

"I wouldn't have yelled if you didn't announce it to the whole world!"

"I was under pressure!"

"Are you two done?" Rin asked. Devon and Kayla stopped arguing and slowly nodded. "Let's go then," She commanded and started walking away.

"No!" The small Feline cried, clinging on to Kayla. "Don't go..."

"I'm sorry," Kayla apologized, gently pushing her away, "I have no choice."

"Wait!" One of them shouted, running up to Rin, "Who are you, and how do you know Devon and Kayla?" Rin paused for a moment, then slowly turned to face the female Feline.

"Who I am and my relationship with these two does not concern you," She said, curtly.

"Yes it would, seeing that these two want to find their family," The Feline replied. Susan was clinging on to Devon now, while Brandon was trying to pull her away.

"You have to let go now, Susan," He said softly.

"No! I don't want them to leave!" She cried. Rin ignored the three struggling Felines and turned away.

"Find their family?" She repeated, "Is that the excuse they used?"

"Excuse?!" She yelled, furiously, "They want to find their family and you're just taking them away! What gives you the right to do that?! It's not fair!"

"Fair? FAIR?!" Rin asked, trying to control her temper, "Was it fair when my own village killed my parents and left me to die in that godforsaken wasteland? Was it fair when I was turned into a Necro at the age of three? HUH?!" Rin paused, trying to hold back her tears. It had been so long since she had cried, and she wasn't about to do it in front of her. "I feel nothing," She continued, "Not the sun on my skin, or the cool summer breeze..." She was on the verge of tears now.

"DIE NECRO!" Someone shouted as they charged towards Rin.

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki raised her head and blinked in the sudden brightness. It had been hours since the storm had begun and now it was finally over. She pushed herself out of the small sand pile that had begun to form on top of them, before pulling the blanket off Buddy and examining the damage done to him. It was pretty bad, but not as bad as she had thought. He had bite wounds on his hind legs where a desert dog must have bitten him. It looked painful, but didn't run deep. The main source of the pain was from all the sand that had been blown into it. On his shoulders were claw marks, and those ran deeper than the bites, but nothing she couldn't fix.

She put her hands over the open wounds one by one and let the familiar buzz of power flow from her hands. From under her gloves came a thin slit of green light that flashed quickly, almost imperceptible if you weren't looking, and then the coyote was up on his paws again.

"There you go, pal." Hanaki said gently, petting his sand colored fur. "No pain, no gain."

Buddy cocked his head to one side and sneezed, as if confused. Hanaki laughed and stood up although the healing process left her feeling drained. She staggered slightly, but regained her footing. Now that the storm was over, it was time to move on. She checked all of her things for sand damage and breathed a sigh of relief when everything seemed to be in order. The relief quickly became dread when she noticed that her canteen lid had been ripped off the canteen, leaving a jagged tear in the animal skin that had even made it through the metal. Looking inside confirmed her suspicions of almost no water. She probably had a half day's worth.

'I'll have to stretch it out, best I can.' She thought sullenly.

She packed the damaged canteen against her side, so as not to spill anymore water. Then she began to trudge forward with as much speed as possible. She left the mask on her face, despite the heat and left the rest of her body covered as well. The less skin showing at this time of day the better. Buddy followed silently behind her.

* * * * * * * * * *

Hanaki turned the canteen upside down one more time, as if she was stuck in some bizarre nightmare. No more water. Already she could feel her lips drying out and it was the hottest part of the day.

'It was foolish to think that I could make this last more than half a day.'

She reached under her mask to wipe the sweat off her face. It was no good worrying about damage already done. She'd have to find a small stream soon. Maybe a pond if she was lucky. Behind her, Buddy growled quietly. Hanaki turned to investigate and pulled her mask back down when she saw a truck in the distance. It could have been a mirage, and she would have thought it was if Buddy hadn't been there. Coyotes know naturally what is illusion and what is real. She stopped and waited. Maybe they would give her a ride. Or at least some water. The only thing she could do was hope.

[Vracer]

Caine walked through the woods the next day. It was still cold and the sun was hidden by the dark grey clouds in the sky. He had felt little guilt when killing the child. He was pretty used to things like that by now. Sometimes it made him sick, but that happened less of the time now.

The day had been mostly uneventful. He had killed a rabbit and ate it for lunch. It wasn't nearly enough to fill him until dinner, but it was better then nothing.

He hadn't seen civilization for days. Whether that was a good or bad thing he hadn't decided yet. He was tired of people in general. They never ceased to annoy him.

On the other hand, humans were a social race, so he needed to talk to someone somewhat intelligent once in a while.

But those kind of people were hard to come by.

He heard the trinkling of water. He stumbled across a small stream. He took a handful of water and drank it. The tickle of it cascading down his throat made him quiver.

He took 20 more handfuls before he was satisfied and continued to wander through the woods.

[pvt tony]

the cell was shaking under arty hits, the Arcane soldiers were running everywhere, clearly surprized by the intensive fire barrage. Suddenly, a shell landed in the confused mass of soldiers... when the smoke receded, the only thing I saw was dead bodys across the prison's corridor. John noticed a key, near a dying guard. The poor man had his two legs ripped apart.

He was about to grab the key that another arty hit shaked the cell and the keys felled in the sewers.

'Argh, dammit!' John let out, in rage.
'sargeant Hartman!' yelled someone. I looked behind me and I saw the the wall was totally destroyed. A young feline soldier was standing in the open. He had black fur and a bolt-action rifle.

'Corporal, glad to see you alive.' John answered, happy to see his friend.
'Hurry, you and your friend, grab your gear next room!' he told us, urged to leave.
'What's so urgent?' I asked him.
'Mortar strike, I suggest you hurry up and collect your gear.' He answered.
'Oh, sh-t!' Hartman Added
'... C'mon, I know where your stuff is, sarge, and bring this dude with you, he may be usefull' The corporal ordered his superior.

[demonickilla]

Morlas walked down the stairs, it was really early in the morning, most people were'nt up, but there was the occasional waiter, or cook. Morlas walked outside and hid his gun under his cloak. He walked down the street when suddenly he heard a hushed voice.

"Hey, you there. Yeah you." Morlas folowed the voice as it led him into an ally way.

"Yes... you look like a tuff guy."

"Where are you?" Morlas asked. Soon a pale, skinny man appeared from behind a dumpster.

"I have some.... Buisness to take care of and I need a..... Buisness man." The man said

"Buisness man?" Morlas looked puzzled

"Look, the guards have this whole town wired, just go along with it, i'm talking about an assassination, got it? The man whispered in Morlas's ear. Morlas nodded.

"Now then, can you do this for me?" The man asked.

"How much will I be getting paid?"

"Five hundred."

"Fine." Morlas looked at the man. "Who will I be...."

"His name is Elis Selfwood."

"Where can I find him?"

"He is checked in at the Badger Inn. Room #17, here's the key." The man handed Morlas a key with the numbers 17 printed on it.

"Man, you're a very organized man." Morlas walked out of the ally way and walked around town looking for the 'Badger Inn'.

[rainor]

“Uh. What happened? Where i am?”
“You were stabbed, that is what happened.And you are in a hospital. Said an medic.
“For how long i’m here? One,two days?”
“You are here for Two weeks, because you know, 4.5L of blood don’t replace themselves in two days. It is an miracle that you can talk. And i still don’t understand how did that knife pierce that kevlar, i’t’s not the best but still.”
“Ok,Ok. When will i be able to get out of here?” I asked the medic
“Well you got an unusual healing rate. I’d say tomorrow morning.And::::...” He got distrupted by me.

“Yes,yes i’m sure that can wait. Now is there anything to eat here?I’m starving”
The medic left the room and returned later with some pizza.
“There was some pizza left after the party.”
I finnished it faster than i reload.
“Mmm, it’s good. Thanks. Ok what did you wanted to tell me?”
“Ah yes that. After some analysis we discovered that your body emanates some kind of radiation that changes the color of your fur. Is that right?”He looked at me with inerest.
“Yes it’s true, and i know you will ask what happened so. I was hit by an strange necro bullet, i’ve never seen onle like that one, i think it’s a new type.”
“Hmm. That explains some things.”
He seemed to be thinking of something.
“Umm.Some things?What do you mean” I said with an worried voice
“Well there are some side efects that include:increased heat resistence, better aim and range of sight, fast healing, and there are the bad ones like : faster dehidratation, you run slower that you should, and thats it.
“Uhh.Yo…You…You are serious?
"I'm serious"
"Well it's good.Somehow"
"You should get some rest"

[demonickilla]

After a few minutes, Morlas had found the Badger Inn. He quickly found it mostly because the streets were'nt fill with people early in the morning. Morlas put his veil on and walked through the door.

The Inn was much like the one Morlas was staying in, there was a mess hall, and the inn keeper was plump, like in his Inn. Morlas walked up the stairs, seeking room 17.

Morlas walked through the hall way quitely, hoping not to wake any guests. As he turned around a corner there were three guards stationed at room 17. 'The man even knows he's being hunted!' Morlas studied the guards carfully. One of them were sitting in a seat, he was carrying a large rifle. The other two were blocking the way to the door, both holding a sword and a sheild each.

Morlas thought quickly as he loaded his hand gun. He turned around the corner and shot at the rifle man. The bullet went through the mans face. The two guards stood up and raised their sheilds as they looked at the dead rifle man. soon screams were heard downstairs and a few in the rooms of the hall way. Morlas quickly let loose gun shots at the sheilded men. When Morlas was done, both the men were dead. Morlas ran into Elis's room.

Elis was awake and was standing up, though unarmed. Morlas aimed his gun at his head.

"WAIT!" Elis screamed.

"What is it?" Elis raised his hands.

"Don't shoot, how much is he paying you?" Elis asked, still distressed.

"Enough." Morlas once again aimed at the mans head.

"Well what ever he's paying you, I will pay you double!" Elis reached into his pocket and brang out his coin purse.

"He's paying me seven hundred." Morlas lied.

"Then, that's fourteen thousand, right?" Elis reached into his coin purse.

"Ummmm, sure." Elis gave Morlas the fourteen thousand gold.

"Now get out, before the guards get here, friend." eLis pointed towards the window.

"Why are you calling me friend?" Morlas asked. "I tried to assassinate you."

"And you did'nt, so I have no reason to be mad, I'm still alive, ar'nt I?" Elis gestured to the window again. "Now hurry, get out."

"Thanks." Morlas Climbed out of the window. It was a good thing the inn was only two stories. Morlas climbed down the inn slowly, still people were rushing out of the inn. Morlas blended into the crowed. Rushing through the streets, soon he made it back to his own inn.

'Where too now?'

[shadow_strike]

“DIE NECRO!” Brandon moved out of the way as someone charged towards Rin. Brandon took out an Uzi and shot the Feline in the back. Rin looked at him for a split second and stabbed someone in the stomach.

“Crap,” muttered Aero, looking at the ten Felines surrounding her. “This isn’t my day.” She took out two knives and charged towards forward. She stabbed one in the throat and the other in the head. She felt someone behind her and kicked the Feline in the stomach before punching his throat.

Susan was running towards the parking lot. She looked at the rows of cars and found a truck that could hold eight people. She looked at how high the window was. She frowned when she realized that she would have to throw something. “I’m either really short or this truck is really tall.”

“You’re just short.” Susan turned around and saw Kayla walking towards her.

“Why aren’t you helping the others fight?” asked Susan, looking for a rock.

“I’m a medic. Medic’s don’t fight,” answered Kayla, leaning against the truck. Susan looked at Kayla surprised.

“Medic’s can fight. I mean, look at Aero. She’s a medic.”Kayla looked at the blue Feline.

“Really? It doesn’t seem like it.”

“She mixes fighting with her medical knowledge. It’s deadly. She can kill someone with just a slap on the back.”

Devon sighed as he stabbed a Canine in the stomach. “Why do I get all the Canines?” Rin glared at Devon as she jumped in the fight.

“Quit your whining. You’re already injured,” she said, looking at the cuts on Devon’s torso. “You’re no good to me dead. Keep your head out of La La Land and fight.” Devon glared at Rin before he stabbed a Canine in the chest.

“Whatever.”

SMASH!

“HA!” yelled Susan. She found a rock earlier and has been trying to get it to hit the window. Kayla was busy getting the supplies that were away from the fight and was throwing them in the bed of the truck. Susan got on the steps and opened the door. She was about to let go of the handle, but the door swung open, taking Susan. She looked towards the ground. “Kayla!” Kayla peeked her head around the truck, and laughed.

“You need help?” Kayla could feel the glare.

“I’m six feet off the ground, OF COURSE I NEED HELP!”

“Nah, you can hang there.”

“KAYLA! THIS ISN’T FUNNY! HELP ME!!!”

Brandon looked towards the parking lot. “SUSAN! SHUT UP AND HOTWIRE A DAMN RIDE!”

“I WOULD IF KAYLA WOULD HELP ME DOWN!”

“I TOLD YOU TO DRINK YOUR MILK BUT DID YOU LISTEN?! NO!”

“BRANDON! SHUT UP AND FIGHT!” yelled Aero, punching a Canine in the back.

“KAYLA! HELP SUSAN DOWN!” Devon got shot in the shoulder by a Feline. He quickly stabbed her in the neck.

“Che, stupid Feline,” said Rin, breaking a Canine’s neck. “I told you not to go into La La Land.”

“Shut up,” muttered Devon. Rin pointed her katana at his throat, forgetting about the fight.

“What did you say to me?”

“N-nothing!” stuttered Devon, eyes wide. Rin stabbed a Canine behind Devon.

“That’s what I thought.” Devon growled mentally.

Susan looked at the wires. “Ok so I put these two together, then those two…” the truck started with a roar. “I GOT IT!” Susan put the cover over the wires and jumped in the middle seat in the middle of the truck. Kayla looked at the fight.

“GUYS! THE TRUCK IS READY!” Rin picked up Devon and leapt over the crowd. Brandon ran out of his fight seeing that everyone was hitting everyone else but him. Aero took three black sticks and threw them in the crowd. She quickly ran towards the truck.

Aero got in the drivers seat and backed out of parking space and sped out. No sooner she got towards the road, there was a big explosion. (Seating arrangement. Front of the truck: driver-Aero. Empty seat, then Brandon.

Middle row: Kayla, Susan, Devon.

Last row: Rin, empty seat.)

Susan looked at the explosion. “THAT WAS AWESOME! DO IT AGAIN!” Everyone glared at Susan. “It was just a suggestion…”

“One that most people don’t feel like doing,” said Aero. She glanced at her left arm. There was a cut that went from her shoulder to her wrist and it was bleeding pretty fast. Aero pulled over and jumped out.

“What is she doing?” asked Devon. His eyes widen when he saw the cut. “HEY! KAY-” Brandon put his hand over Devon’s mouth.

“She likes to heal herself outside.” Rin glanced at Aero, whose arm was healing faster than it normally should with Felines.

“Why is healing faster than normal?” asked Rin. Brandon glanced at Rin.

“Because speed is her adrenaline. She heals herself and others faster than normal.” Rin nodded and stayed quiet.

BANG!

Blood splattered on the window.

[nrocha20]

(Ive started figuring stuff out, Shadow and Shadow2. Next time you meet with someone. TELL ME FIRST. Im going to start grabbing hold of this RP. And also rainor and tony, you two need to put a bit more effort into yor posts.)

After getting to the other side of the ditch successfully. Martin started to drive the tank toward the settlement when his vision started to blurr. What the hell? He thought before passing out.

---

Martin woke up in the clinic with one hell of a headache. "What happened?" Martin groaned to Vince, whom was sitting in a chair next to the bed.

"What do you mean 'What happened?'!? You passed out!"

"uuuuuugghhhh"

"Well... at least you finally know what kind of adrenaline you have huh?"

"I thought it was supposed to feel good" Martin complained collapsing.

"heheh. Well, the Settlement Major wanted to see you as soon as toy woke up buddy. C'mon." Vince helped Martin to his feet, He andMartin were still wearing the same bloodied clothes from the assult. After about 5 minutes of walking, the two made it to the command structure. It was a one room, but two story moderatly defended wooden tower. The Major was sitting on his chair, the heads (high class people of the Cheyanne settlement) were surrounding a platform meant for trial.

"Sorry buddy." Vince said with a sad look on his face, helping Martin up to the platform.

"Martin Grant." The Major started, "You are accused of destroying an APC, risking and losing many lives, and bringing an Arcane abomination to our home. You get no trial, you are found guilty of all crimes."

"What!?" Martin yelled. The heads started mumbling to their neibors.

"But... because of your quick thinking, saving Sergent Hex and Private Vince, and completing the mission. You will not be exacuted."

"Sigh.... thats good news."

"Instead you will be banished from the Cheyanne, no one may fallow you. But you may take whatever you own or what is given to you."

Martin was walked off the platform, shock written all over his face. "b-banished?"

"Im sorry buddy, I wish there was something I could do..." Vince said, leading Martin to his perants garage.

Martin saw a truck packed with plenty of supplys and a small money bag in the driver seat. "The Major wants you gone emidiatly boy." Martins angered father said standing in front of the truck. "Your mother packed the truck for you. But remember that you are no longer welcome in in our, or anyone else in OUR familys presence." He then turned away back into the house. Martin could here his mother sobbing from the kitchen.

"Buddy." Vince said, hugging his friend. "Here." He handed Martin a picture of himself. "Take it to a man named Jim in a Tomohawk settlement north of here. He will give you a bed and some work."

"Thanks." Martin said, holding back his emotions.

"Also, I just want you to know that I will gather up some people and I. Will. Find you. And we will be partners in this shithole we call a world."

"I dont know how ill ever repay you Vince."

"Hey. Were best buddies right? Its our duty to help each other."

Martin managed a chuckle and hugged his friend one last time before entering the truck and driving out of the settlement. He drove north for five hours through the cacti desert until nightfall hit. Martin then stopped the truck and layed his head on the wheel... Martin cried that entire night.

---

It was midday, and Martin was speeding the truck across the heated desert as fast as it could go when he spotted a figure waving for help out the corner of his eye. He made a U-turn with the truck and stopped near the figure. Martin then got out to see who it was, the figure seemed to be a female Feline with a little cayote next to her.

"Do you need help?" Martin said, tossing her a water bottle.

[rainor]

(It was rushed because you said something of beeing inactive = kick from story)

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki sighed in relief when she felt the cool bottle touch her palms.

"Yeah, actually." She said, tucking the bottle away in her backpack. There was no way in hell, she was going to remove her mask in front of a stranger. It would only provoke a mocking or shocked expression. What kind of feline didn't have body fur? " I was kinda hoping me and BUddy could get a ride."

The stranger stared at the coyote and then at her, a question in his eyes.

"He's attatched to me." She explained.

[nrocha20]

Martin shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever. There should be enough room in the back for him (the inside back)."

The three climbed into the truck and Martin started driving the truck North.

"So." Martin started, "Mind explaining why theres a Feline girl running around one of the hottest deserts in the world in clothes that cover her entire body?"

'Clothes that cover her entire body'! Ya Martin! Thats real fucking apropriate!

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki shrugged. "I've got people after me..." it wasn't a lie. There was this real wacko after her that was claiming she belonged to him. But that wasn't the main reason. "People I'd rather avoid."

Buddy snored in the back seat. She smiled under the mask. At least there was somebody she could talk to now. An animal can only communicate in so many ways.

"What are you doing in the desert with a truck? And where are you headed?"

[demonickilla]

Morlas walked to the local truck store. Most people in the desert road trucks rather than the average car, most likly because a car can't drive to well through these rough sands.

With Morlas's big sack of cash, he was gonna buy a big pick up truck. Morlas walked up to the dealer and after a grueling two hours of listening to the dealer's deals and storys, he finally got the pick up truck. It was a dirty old mess, but most trucks were like that when bought in the desert.

---

Morlas drove out of the town not knowing were he was gonna go. By the time the sun started to go down Morlas had made it to a very unusual town. the entire town was deserted. Not one person was walking the streets, and all the houses were either not even there, or in bad condition. Morlas drove slowly through the town, looking in all directions around him. He had even looked back thinking he heard someone folowing him, but then he dismissed the idea entirely.

Soon Morlas had the sudden thought that he should'nt be in this town. He still drove slowly through it though, he was curious, what else was he to do? Just as Morlas rounded a corner a man in a full army suit, and an assault rifle, ran infront of the truck. He signaled a command and soon, Morlas was surronded. The first soldier to come out yelled at him.
"Step out of the vehicle, and state your name, and buisness."

Morlas walked out of the vehicle and held his hands high in the air. The commanding officer looked pleased. "My name, is Morlas Sept. my buisness here is to simply pass through."

"Well I believe that that is impossible, since this entire town, and around it, is in quarintine, by offical orders from the arcane emperor himself."

"I see, why is this zone quarintined, officer?" The officers eyes gleamed when the word officer was said. This officer was obviously pleased when his rank is mentioned.

"Well, a series of waves of D.K.s are living inside this town, our job is to find the hives of these 'pests' and kill them. Our second job, is to keep all citizens from entering this restricted area."

"How many waves?" Morlas had met only about a quarter of a wave of D.K.s his entire life. He would like to know how so many waves could fit into this town.

"About twenty, maybe thirty. There are three companys of arcane soldiers stationed in this town. We have located only three of the D.K.s hives so far." The Officers eyes lowered. "For some reason, the emperor's 2nd lt. keeps ordering us not to make contact with the hives, so all we have really been doing is killing the stray D.K.s that wonder away from the hive. Morlas noded. "Now tell me Morlas, have you ever handled a gun?"

Morlas lifted his cloak and took out his pistol to show the officer. "This is the only kind of gun I have handled, why?"

"Well, normally I would'nt recruit any westener voulenteers, but we really need all the help we can get. Tonight, breeching the words of the 2nd lt., This company will be attacking one of the hives, maybe the emperor will see that attacking will be more usful than just sitting here waiting." The officer look pleadingly at Morlas.

"Fine, I will join in this attack, but after that I'm gone." Morlas put his pistol back under his cloak.

"That's wonderful!" The officer held his hand out. "My name is Captain Jon brackenbrook. And first thing you need to do, is get a better weapon than that weak little pistol." Morlas shook Jon's hand.

[nrocha20]

"I'd rather not talk about it. But I am heading to a Tomohawk settlement to get a bed and a job. But... id be happy to take you and your little friend back there wherever yu would like to go... but... just one little condition. I want you to take off the mask. I dont want to drive someone I cant trust." Martin said. I really hope im not being to pushy... im just so curious.

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki clenched her teeth. Sometimes she hated being with others. Scratch that. She ALWAYS hated being around others. There was no way in hell she was taking off her mask!! She'd rather die! Okay, a bit of an exaggeration, but still. It was gonna be hell.

She weighed her options. In the short time he'd been driving, this guy had gotten them pretty far. Nowhere near enough to get anywhere with only one water bottle however. If he so chose he could drop her off here and leave her. However, if she removed her mask, she would probably be dealing with glances all the way to whatever town she was going to end up in. The destination didn't matter, she never really had to go anywhere. It was just easier than dealing with so many people. Traveling was quiet.

She bit her lip in contemplation, only reminding her further of the lack of fur. A sand storm to her left, only a few miles away, made her decision for her.

'If I stay here without a ride, I'll have to face more storms like that. And whatever else is in this stinking desert. On the other hand, I just have to deal with awkward glances for a few miles.'

"Fine." she said. "I'll take off the mask, but on one condition!" She held up a warning finger. "No staring."

With that, she reached under her hood, and wrenched the strap that held the mask in place loose. She kept her eyes straight ahead as she pulled it away from her face. She didn't need to look, to know what his reaction was going to be.

[nrocha20]

Martin looked at the furless feline sitting next to him and emediatly slammed the brake. Shes...

Martin then started laughing like he'd never laughed before. "You... you shaved your fur!" He continued to laugh to where it annoyed the girl and it woke up the cayote.

"Im... im sorry... you can go ahead and put your mask back on... sigh, I see why you'd want to keep it on. Where would you like to go?"

[K.T.O_o]

"You can let me out here." Hanaki said shortly.

The laughing had done it for her. And that he would think that she would shave her fur intentionally..... Like she wanted to be a freak. She refastened her mask and waited for him to stop the truck.

[nrocha20]

Martin thought for a second. Shit, I went to far. I cant let her die in the desert just because of me....

"No." He said imediatly. "Im not going to let you die out in the desert just because I couldnt control myself. Ill let you out when we reach the settlement, alright? And try not to kill me while I drive it its not to much to ask."

[demonickilla]

(I'm waiting for it to be dark in your guy's post, would'nt want it to be weird that it's dark where i am, and not where you are...)

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki glared at him from under the mask.

"Fine, then I'll get out on my own." She unbuckled her seat belt and whistled to Buddy before preparing to jump.

[nrocha20]

Martin smiled devilishly. "THAT is a VERY bad idea."

"How so?" The Feline responded.

Instead of replying, Martin simply turned the truck so powerfully, it slammed the feline and the cayote against his arm. "OW!.... to much." He then slammed his foot on the pedal and did his daredevil driving.

"You seriously want to try?" He yelled over the powerful engine. The truck in midair. Heheh. She probobly thinks im insane.

[pvt tony]

As i runned though this chaos that became the jail, the young corporal suddenly told me;

'Take this corridor, first room on the right, I'll see you outside.' He said
'thanks, I guess.' I answered

As I walked through the corridor, I noticed it wasn't hit by artillery, or it was more fortified than the rest of the building. first room on the right, I remembered.
I entered the room that he told me and I saw all my gear on a table. But there was also a folder called 'National defence', obiviously.

[shadow_strike]

“What the hell?” Brandon jumped out of the truck and saw Aero running away, blood still pouring out of her cut. “Aero?” Then he heard a roar and a Devil Kin was chasing her. “Great.” Brandon shot the Devil Kin in the head and chest. A minute later, it fell to the ground. “You ok Aero?” Aero glanced up.

“Yeah…I should be.” She wrapped a bandage around her arm. She walked towards where she previously was. She saw the blood on the window and a dent where the Devil’s Kin head was. Kayla looked out the window.

“Wow, that’s a big dent.” Devon glanced at Kayla.

“Thank you Captain Obvious.”

“You’re welcome Sergeant Sarcastic.” Rin sighed and held out her hand. She closed her eyes and Devon, Kayla, and Susan felt weak. A red hammer formed in Rin’s hands. Rin swung the hammer and Aero who was leaning on the dent, flew forward into Brandon’s arms. The hammer disappeared and Rin closed her eyes.

“I would get the younger ones food,” commented Rin. Aero looked in the truck and saw that Devon, Kayla, and Susan looked like they were about to faint.

“Crap,” said Brandon. He ran to the bed of the truck and looked through the bags. He found some mini packets of Oreos and ran towards the kids. He gave one to each and made sure that they ate the whole bag.

Aero glared at the spot where the dent use to be. “Could’ve warned me before you done that.” Rin opened her eyes and glanced in Aero’s direction and grinned evilly.

“There’s no fun in that, now is there?” Aero glared at the Necro and got in the truck. She looked at the rear view mirror and saw that the young ones were sleeping and Rin looked like she was sleeping. Aero turned on the truck and drove to the highway.

XxXxXxX

“Aero, I need to go to the bathroom.”

“Aero, I’m hungry.”

“Aero, can we pull over? My legs are getting restless.”

“I have to pee!”

“Well my stomach is eating itself!”

“Aero!”

“Aero!”

“Aero!”

“FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! SHUT UP!” Aero slammed on the breaks, making everyone go forward. She turned around and glared at the kids in the middle of the truck. “Devon, your hunger can wait; Susan, we had a bathroom break five minutes ago! And Kayla, you had a chance to walk at the rest stop but you decided to sit in the truck. Now, SHUT UP!” It was dead silent in the truck. Rin smiled. “What’s so funny?”

“Nothing, nothing. Just continue to drive.” Aero looked at her warily and drove.

“London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down…”

“London Bridge is falling down, my dear lady~!”

“Grr...” Everyone was silent at Aero’s growl.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“I KNOW A SONG THAT GETS ON EVERYBODIES NERVES~!

“EVEYBODIES NERVES!”

“EVEYBODIES NERVES!”

“I KNOW A SONG THAT GETS ON EVERYBODIES NERVES!”

“AND THIS IS HOW IT GOES!”

“I HATE YOU ALL!” Everyone chuckled.

“But Aero,” whined Brandon. “I thought you loved me.”

“You’re not making them stop, so my love for you is taken back unless you can make them shut up.” Brandon’s eyes got wide.

“So that means no more…”

“That’s right~!” Brandon turned in his seat and faced the others.

“STOP! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP!” Devon crossed his arms.

“Why should-oh! A birdie!” Rin leaned up and smacked Devon outside the head.

“What did I say?” Devon looked at floor of the truck.

“No more La La Land.”

“That’s right. Now, if you get on Aero’s nerves one more time, I will personally give you a new…what is that smell?” Devon blushed.
“Uh, sorry guys.”

“THAT’S DISGUSTING!”

“PULL OVER!”

“DID IT JUST GET STRONGER?!” Aero quickly turned into the rest stop and everyone jumped out.

“I’m going to hurt the Feline.” Rin was held back by everyone as Devon ran away. They let her go when he was in the boy’s room. Rin glared at them. “Watch me; he will get hurt severely by my own two paws.” Rin stalked off to the shade. Aero looked at Susan.

“Didn’t you have to go to the bathroom?” Susan shook her head.

“Not anymore.” Aero’s eyes got wide.

“So you…” Susan nodded. “…Fuck. I HAVE TO CLEAN IT TOO!” Susan and Kayla quickly ran off. Aero sighed and got the cleaning supplies. She looked to Brandon. “What happen to the cleaning masks?”

“You threw them away because blood got on them.” Aero looked at the sky.
“God, you hate me, don’t cha?” There was a roar of thunder and it started to rain. “I…I take that as a yes.” Aero got on her knees. “WHY ME?!” Brandon sighed and got some of the cleaning supplies.

“I’ll help you.” Aero hugged Brandon.

“Thank you faithful boyfriend.” Brandon returned the hug. When they pulled away, he grinned evilly.

“I CALL GETTING RID OF THE SMELL!” Aero froze in mid-step. Her smile disappeared from her face and she sulked.

“I hate life. I hate it so much right now.”

XxXxXxX

“Aero.”

“…”

“Aerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrro.”

“…”

“AERO!”

“…”

“Aero?”

“…”

“I think we broke her.” After that eventful time at the rest stop, they were back on the road. For the past hour, Susan, Kayla, and Devon were bugging Aero. Then, she snapped at them and now, she was eerily quiet.

“Aero.” The truck came to a screeching halt. Everyone stared at Aero. She slowly turned her head to face the ones in the middle. Her eyes were narrowed and her lip was pulled up in a snarl. A lightning bolt hit the ground near the truck made her look more frightening.

“What. Do. You. Want.” Almost everyone was frozen in fear. Rin just looked at the scene with no emotion.

“Um…nothing. You can continue,” said Devon, scooting away from the scary Feline.

“Noooooooo.” The ones in the middle shuddered in fear at the sing-song voice. “You might as well tell me or I will get angry. You won’t like me when I’m angry.”

“When…when are we going to stop at a hotel?” asked Kayla, trying to melt into her seat when Aero’s gaze was on her.

“Who said we were stopping?” The kids’ eyes widen.

“But…how will we sleep?”

“You’re going to have to deal with it. Now, if I have to stop one more time, we’re going to walk the rest of the way to the city which is…450 miles. And we won’t stop to sleep. Now, chose wisely.”

The rest of the trip was in complete silence.

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki struggled to sit upright. "Are you fucking INSANE!!!!????" she cried. "Were you trying to kill me?!?!?!"

In the back, Buddy growled. He was not pleased either.

[nrocha20]

"Im trying to SAVE you!" Martin yelled as the truck came back down to the ground on all fours. He started to slow the truck back down.

"Dont make me do it again, were coming up to a cliffside...... Im not going to let you out. You will DIE in this desert alone, im not going let you die JUST because I angered you by laughing. I apologize for that, im sure you have a good reason for being... you know." God, shes proboby pissed beyond belief.... maybe I can calm her down...

"I dont know how far away the settlement is... so... why dont you tell me about yourself? Like a name for starters..." He said in a soft voice. Trying to relax the unusual person sitting next to him.

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki slid as far away from the stranger as possible. She was certainly upset and now he was trying to make small talk. On top of that she had no idea if she could trust him.

"Hanaki." She said through tight lips. "Yours?"

[nrocha20]

"Im Martin. Thats a nice name Hanaki." Martin said, trying to be nice as possible. "What brings you out here? Im out here because I got banished from my tribe for crashing an APC into a factory... heheh..." Martin noticed Hanaki's ears going up at the word "crash".

"Dont worry, I did it on purpose." Ya that will make her feel more comfortable. Smart choice of words Martin!

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki was worried for her safety. This guy was obviously insane, or had no idea what the hell he was doing. And another thing. How should she awnser him? The reason she was out this far was to get away from people, and one in particular. Hopefully he wouldn't follow her this far. Tough luck.

"I'm out here for the quiet." she said looking out on the desert.'And if he makes one more crack about crashing, I'm outta this thing.'

[nrocha20]

"Cool. I guess that meens you want me to quiet huh?" Martin said, slapping himself in his own mind. DUH! "One more thing.... how come you have no fur? Last question, I swear. I meen, you couldnt have shaved it off. That would be... well, you know."

Martin looked at the Feline again, "If you dont want to answer its fine..."

[K.T.O_o]

No. She didn't want to answer him. People do NOT like to know that they happen to be assisting a Necro, no matter how good that Necro might be. She'd put the brakes on that question for good.

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you." God she hated lying, but she'd rather do that then be judged for something she didn't have a choice in.

[nrocha20]

"Suit yourself." Martin said. Whats she hiding?

The drive went on for 5 more hours. "I think we'd better stop." Martin spoke up. "Its 11PM, we should park the truck and rest for the night..." He then parked the truck by a large rock. He got out and started a fire with some wood that was stored back.

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki hadn't even noticed the time passing. It was great to be free from a life of fear. Which she'd had before, but being on the run wasn't much fun. She sat in the truck and watched Martin put together a fire.

"It's probably useless." She said, leaning on her arm against the door. "The fire will only attract dessert dogs." She reached back and patted Buddy's head. "Meaner than coyotes."

He shrugged and continued doing what he was doing. Not that she didn't deserve it. She hadn't exactly been friendly. But what else was she supposed to do?

Hold her hand out and say, 'Hi, I'm Hanaki. Nice to meet you, by the way, I'm a Necro who's fur falls off because of the venom in my body. Don't worry though. I won't bite.'

Yeah! Real appealing. She pulled her mask tighter and quickly got out of the truck.

"Need any help?"

[nrocha20]

"That would be much apreciated. ive never really been one with fire..." Martin said as he puled off the leather glove on his right hand, revealing his hand being scorched and patches of fur missing. He just chuckled embaressingly.

While Hanaki started the fire. Martin pulled out a small box food inside. "Its frozen fish!" He said happily, putting three on sticks and putting them over the fire.

[demonickilla]

Morlas woke up to the alarm of his clock. He got up and looked at the time. 11:00pm.... Soon we gotta go attack that hive thing. Morlas noticed that it was quiter than usual. Then suddenly he heard loud banging on his door folowed by moaning and growling. "What the fuck?" Morlas got up and picked up his M16 the captain had given to him.

He shot at the door so the bullets would go through the weak wood, and even weaker with all the banging. The banging stopped after three bullets. Morlas opened the door and almost vomited.

The entire hall way was a bloddy mess. The dead bodies of men and devil kin lined the floors. 'gotta look for survivors!' Morlas ran through the hallway, usally he would just walk through, but he was gided with fear. Morlas kept running through the hallways and soon he heard shooting, and screaming on the outside. Morlas went through the nearest exit and could'nt believe what was happening.

The sun was almost down, but not enitrely. The entire base was being attacked by hundreds of devil kin. Morlas saw that there were only about 20 men left, they were all inside some kind of barricaded area. Morlas ran to the area as fast as he could. He heard some beeping coming from the two turrents lined up on top of the barricade. He saw captain Jon.

"Don't worry, it's just sensing if you're a devil kin, hurry get in here!" Morlas ran into the base. Three devil kin folowed him, the turrents blasted and killed all three of them in a matter of seconds.

As i slowly woke up i observed that i was in an very small room.Like the ones they put bodies in after they died.”Holy shit!What i’m doing here?There must be an good explain for this”I forced the door at my head and got out.I was in the morgue,the light bulb flickerd before exploding,but i had enough time to see where the door was.I walked to the door and before oppening it i heard voices,feline voices.”What the f-ck?Felines?Here?That is not good”I spyed them trought the key hole and waited until they left.Slowly oppening the door i knew that i was going to fight them.It was inevitable and i needed weapons.”Seems it’s going to be the hard-way”

As i carefully walked trought the hallways and looking around at every turn i heard footsteps.”Damn.Place to hide,place to hide,Ah there!”I ran to the janitors room and hided there.”Come on,come on i just want your weapon”
“HEY!LET’S GO THERE IS NOTHING ELSE IN THIS CITY!”And voice yelled.
“That is good.No more fighting for me”
“OK WAIT ONE MINUTE!”The other person yelled back
He slowly aproached the room i was in.”Better get ready”I picked up the broom and got ready to fight.

The feline entered the room and the only thing he had seen was the end of my broom entering his mouth and pushing him on the floor until it pierced trought his head.
“Hey this is my shootgun.And damn i’m good i killed someone with an broom * =D face*

“Hey you ok there?”Asked the other feline.”I’m coming to see if your ok.”
I thought that it was point of no return and indeed it was.The feline came around the corner and he had seen his friend dead.”Who is there?!”He aproached the body and as he came closer the adrenaline was flowing trought me like water in an river.”You shouldn’t had come here”The only thing the feline heard was my voice and the sound of eight bullets pierceing trought wood and him.
Suddenly shooting started but didn’t last long.I wondered what happened and ran to the closest window.”Oh my god.Is that an necro?”

“Yes it is.”An familiar voice said.”And you are coming with me.Sarge”
“Wha-?“

“Shut up before they hear us………Good now lets go”He lead me to an wall.
“There is nothing here”

“Or so you would think”He replyed while pressing an secret switch
An secret pasage oppened.
“I go first you follow me or else…”
“Or else,what?”
“Or else you will get lost and is you do get lost you can shoot yourself with the shootgun that you are holding at my hean”
“How did he knew that i was holding it at his head?”I asked myself


~After some time~


“Oh and sorry for the thing at the hotel.I didn’t take my pills that day and you had seen the results”
“Your weapons are at the tunnel exit”
“Ah.And there is the exit!”
“Different ways?”
“Yes probably different”
We arrived at the exit,my weapons were on an table.When i turned to thanks him he was gone.The house that i was in seemed to be ruined by mortar shels.I took my weapons and went outside and ran into one feline soldier.”SHI-“He didn’t fully recover so i used that advantage to snap his neck.”Too close for my good”.
I draged the body in the house where i’ve seen that he was wearin an suit that only Arcane field commander wears.He had his I.D. at him and an customized fullauto Sub-machinegun with silencer.
“Now i only need an car.But it’s too dangerous and when they realize that three of their mens are missing i will have to fight,and that is not good.i should be leaveing.”I took the commanders clothes,weapons.I was hearing footsteps coming from around the corner
I sprinted to the next street to avoid whoever was coming.”Eww.That is gross”The victims from the mortar shels were laying around all over the place.In the stree,at the windows,in buildings.But i didn’t had time to think of that so i climbed on an ladder to the roof of an building to scout the surroundings with the scope.”There!Hole in the wall”I pointed at N-W “An exit”I went down and sprinted to the hole in the wall but looking around every corner,and there was nothing.I used the darkness of the night in my advantage.After i got out of the city i stopped to rest at the wall.”That wasn’t good at all”
I took an rock and the jacket i found and used them as an pillow and then i fell asleep”

Morlas sat in one of the chairs in the safe house. "Captain, how much more ammo do those turrents have?"

"Not much, but we are sending some men out to find some supplies, we are gonna try and last until sunrise." Captain Jon went over the list of men going out to fetch supplies with Morlas.

"I want to go too." Morlas stood up.

"But Morlas, you're only a voulenteer, I did'nt think that I would get you mixed up with this when I asked you to help." The captain stood up as well.

"I'm not gonna just sit here, and wait for my death, I'm going with those men, when are you sending them out." Morlas asked the captain.

"Right now, but please don't go through with this. I don't want you to die because of me." The captain sat back down.

"I'm sorry, but I must go captain. Like I said, I'm not gonna wait for my death, I'm gonna fight for it."

"I know... Just be careful."

---



"Alright men, most of you will not come back alive, your mission, is to sucure as much supplies as you can. Also kill as many of those bastards as you can." The captain saluted the men before they were off.

Morlas walked out of the safty of the turrents range, and into the darkness. The men scattered as soon as they were out of range of the turrents. Mostly going into groups of one or two. Morlas walked into an old market place first, along with five other people.

When they made it into the distric, they spread off into diffrent houses. Morlas walked into one of the grocery stores. Morlas walked in and immediatly ducked down behind one fo shelves. He looked at the shelves to find them empty.

Morlas continued on, finding every where he looked empty. He walked into the third isle, he saw two devil kin raiding the shelves, consuming all they could find. Morlas let off a wave of bullets. The devil kin looked over and were dead. Morlas ran through the isle and gathered up all the food he could find, when he was full Morlas ran out of the building.

The streets seemed darker then they were when he walked in the building. He walked cautiously through the streets. 'Damn it, where was that safe house again!'

[ShadowDancer]

After what seemed like hours of driving in silence, the group finally reached the next city. Eventually, Aero drove into the lot of an old motel. She barely had time to park the truck before Devon opened the door and jumped outside.

"FREEDOM!" he yelled as he ran towards the motel.

What an idiot. Rin thought, unbuckling her seatbelt. One by one, they all got out and stretched their legs.

"I better go get Devon," Kayla sighed, running up to the feline who was now running around the parking lot. Aero went ahead to the front desk to check them in. Brandon and Susan followed her inside, leaving Rin to watch over the two felines. She let out a sigh and leaned against the truck, lazily watching as Kayla tackled Devon and wrestled him to the ground.

"Get off!" he shouted, trying to push her aside.

"Will you stop running around like a madman?" she asked.

"NEVER!" He pushed Kayla off and continued running in circles around the parking lot. Kayla got up and chased after him for about five more minutes before Rin decided she had enough. A whooshing sound was heard along with a thud as Devon fell to the ground. He groaned in pain and lifted his face from the asphalt. As he looked behind him, he could see that Rin had thrown one of her knives at his pants leg, glueing it to the ground. Kayla, not watching where she was going, tripped over him and fell on her butt. At this point, Aero had returned with the room keys.

"Ok guys, here are the-- What are you doing?" She stared as Devon started biting Kayla's leg while Kayla bitch-slapped him. Rin just walked up to Aero and grabbed one of the keys in her hand, ignoring the struggling felines.

"I'll be in my room getting some rest. If any of you bother me you will regret it for the rest of your life." She looked at the number on the key and headed towards room 18. In the distance she could hear Aero trying to break up the fight. Rin just ignored them and continued searching for her room. Eventually, she found a door marked with the number 18. Rin unlocked the door and went inside. What she saw disgusted her.

It was pink. Everything. From the swirly pink flowery wallpaper to the fluffy pink carpet to the small pink Barbie bed sheets. It hurt to look at it.*

"I guess I should've mentioned that was the key to Susan's room." Rin jumped and turned to see Brandon standing behind her with Susan riding on his shoulders.

"It's so pretty!" She exclaimed, nudging Brandon to take her inside. After setting her down on the bed, he turned to face Rin and held out a key with the the number 22 on it.

"This is the key to your room," he said. Rin took it and left the pink horror of Susan's room.

(*That's how my room used to look. *shudders*)

[K.T.O_o]

"I'm not all that hungry...." Hanaki said, feeling rude, but just trying to be truthful.

She'd never had much of an appetite. In fact, she preffered small meals. And strangely, she'd never really liked fish. She was too embarrased to admit this though. After all, what kind of Feline had no fur and didn't like fish? None...... except for her.

She finished the fire and pulled her pack off of her back so that she could pull out the black jacket. She balled it up so that she could use it as a makeshift pillow. Then she layed back and felt buddy curl up against her side. He'd really become attatched to her. It was nice though.

She wasn't tired, so instead she looked up at the stars, just thinking.

[nrocha20]

So strange... what Feline wouldn't jump at the chance to have a good trout? Martin thought, plucking one of the fish out from the fire and putting it back in the icebox. Then again... what Feline travels one of the worlds hottest deserts in a large sum of clothing, with a wild animal, and has no fur? She's certainly a strange one.

After about half an hour, Hanaki was still awake staring at the stars, and the fish were good to go. Martin plucked one and tossed it to Buddy, who immediately grabbed it with his teeth. Martin started chewing on the trout when he caught a glimpse of Hanakis eyes in the holes of her mask.

Those eyes.... why do they remind me of something ive read before? When Martin finished eating his fish, he buried the bones in the sand and grabbed his pack from the truck. He sat down a good distance from Hanaki and the fire and took a book out from his pack. The book said "Rise of the Necro" on the cover. He then flipped to the chapter, "Necro Physic".
_______________________________

Hanaki watched from the corner of her eye, as Martin walked away and then saw what appeared to be a book.

'A reader, huh?' she thought, snorting. 'I should maybe use a good book. It's been awhile.'

It was true. Once she became a Necro, she had ceased caring for anything that wasn't living, and even then she'd tried to distance herself to keep herself in check. When she was younger and non-necro, she'd heard stories of Necros that had gone....well, not so pleasant. It was a trait of many Necros, the ability to kill without feeling. She didn't want to be a killer.

So it was probably best, that she took this ride and got off at the next town. Reduce the chance of accidents. She closed her eyes and sighed. The day was wearing on her, but she knew that if she closed her eyes, she'd see things she didn't want to see. The village, the sounds of her parents pleading for her life, the high, cruel laugh of the Necro, the pain of the bite.......

She turned over, closing off her thoughts until her mind was blank. Her back was to Martin and she was looking out on the dark dessert. Very dark. Maybe she should leave tonight. It would be cool and she could always kill whatever messed with her. Yes. It would be better to leave tonight, before Martin found out too much.

She closed her eyes to take a quick cat-nap before she would begin the long journey.
_______________________________
After being bitten by one of the Germs, Martin read in his mind (The Arcane Empire refer to the DKs as "Germs") A Necro can have many different genetic changes. A lot of which is unknown. The most common change, is the eyes turning completely red, or some other dark color such as black, brown, ect. Martin stopped reading. Its probably nothing... He thought.

Martin walked over to Hanaki, whom had fallen asleep. He found himself pulling out his .45, and pointing it at her head. Is she one of them?....... No. She cant be. Shes to normal and nice... but... Ill find out.

Martin walked over to the fire and picked up one of the flaming sticks. He then walked by Hanaki, 'dropping' it on her arm.
_________________________________
Hanaki sat bolt upright batting at her arm. The sleeve of the jacket was gone along with some of her skin.

"Are you insane!!!!????" she screamed fighting back tears of rage.

Buddy was standing beside ready to jump at Martin, his hacles raised and growling protectively.
____________________________________

Martins eyes widened. She doesn't feel it. He then pulled out his .45 and backed up a few steps. "Your... your one of them. Aren't you?"

Seeing the threat, Buddy tackled Martin, biting into his arm. He screamed in pain as he collapsed in the sand. Blood spilled out of Martins arm all over the gleaming sand. Martin then realized what kind of danger he just summoned. Smelling the mixture of fire and blood, the Devil Kin swarmed around the camp. Twenty of them surrounding the camp. Buddy realized the new threat and ran back to Hanaki. Martin gathered himself up and stood near the fire, holding his pistol with his left arm.

"Were fucked." Martin said. But the Germs didn't swarm over them. Instead the just circled around the three. Blood lust in their eyes.

"Why aren't we dead?" Martin said. He looked over at Hanaki whos sleeve was now scorched. The Devil Kin then retreated, leaving their bloody footprints behind.

Martin then collapsed back into the sand, trying to save himself from bleeding to death.

[K.T.O_o]

'Damn....' Hanaki thought as she watched the Devil Kin walk away. She could see their outlines against the black of the night. 'That could have been bad.'

She was glad that they didn't seem interested in them. She'd never heard of Devil Kin attacking and eating Necros, but Martin sure seemed like a nice meal. The stench of the blood was overpowering and Hanaki felt her head begin to swim. She pulled off her mask and placed a cloth over her mouth, breathing through it. If she remained exposed who knew what she might do. She heard Martin moan. She walked over to him, ignored it when he flinched, and knelt beside him.

"If you don't show me your arm, you really might bleed to death." she said with no emotion in her voice.

Before he could react Hanaki yanked off her glove and and placed her hand over the wound. The distinct bite marks, slowly faded and closed while her hand glowed a soft green. Soon, there was no evidence that Buddy had nearly tore his arm apart.

"There." she said. Standing up while he examined the non-existent wound. She felt the cold mask her face had molded itself into and she knew her eyes probably looked dead. Void of emotion. She was good at this. After all. It was no good getting attatched and then having someone look at you with fear. No. It was better to show no emotion or weakness. You stayed alive longer that way.

"Sorry to have bothered you." she said. She whistled and Buddy was at her side. "We'll be going now." She grabbed her things from the truck and began walking away, into the pitch black of the dessert.
__________________________
Martin sat up and saw Hanaki walk away with her things. 'Why would she spare me?' He thought. 'Shes a Necro... she should have teared me limb from limb... I have to talk to her.' Martin threw anything he took out of the truck back inside and got in. He swiftly started the truck and drove the direction Hanaki was going. It didn't take long for him to reach her. He swerved in front of her and jumped out. Pistol in hand.

It was dark, but light enough to see. Martin tossed the handgun at Hanaki's feat to show that he meant no harm. He then rose the arm that Buddy tore at, and simply said "Why?"
__________________
Hanaki stared at his arm where he held it against the darkness as she contemplated. The truth? That she didn't want to be a killer like most necros? that she was one of the few who didn't go insane? Or a lie?

"Because I owed you...." It wasn't technically a lie......
________________
Martin looked into the Germ spawns eyes and squinted. 'Shes lying'. For the third time in his life Martin showed his sanity. "No. The storys from what ive heard about Necro dont help your claim 'I owed you'. If I let a Necro into my truck, they would have killed me. Why didnt you?" Martin looked deep into Hanakis red eyes. "Tell me the REAL reason."
_________________________
Hanaki smiled slightly under her mask. He was perceptive. "Because I don't want to be a killer. I wasn't...." she struggled for the right word,"born?...that way." She ignored the disbelief in his face. "And I did owe you. If you hadn't come along, I might have died of thirst"

She pushed passed him." Now if you'll excuse us..." she walked away into the dark.
_____________________________
Martin stood there thinking for a few moments. Then he picked up his .45 and tossed it in the truck. He started running toward Hanaki, when he reached her, he grabbed her shoulder. Buddy didnt attack, probobly because he sensed no real danger. "Let me say something."

"Your coming with me. For a few reasons, one, I dont like to be by myself.... its scary. Two, I still owe you, because you were wrong about you oweing me anything. I know its been a tad annoying being around me... me laughing at you... then pointing a gun... but im sorry. I shouldnt try to kill you just because your... different. I guess its not your fault your... you. You have given me NO reason to mistrust you. So. Your coming with me, wether you want to or not." 'WOW..... did that just come out of my mouth?'

Martin started pulling Hanaki back to the truck. Buddy amazingly didn't attack, almost like he knew what was going on.... if so, he probably wanted the air conditioning.
__________________
"Let - go!!!" Hanaki pulled against Martin, surprised by how strong he was. Like hell she was getting back in that truck!!!

It wasn't that she didn't trust him, it was just that she was stubborn. And once she made a decision, she stuck to it. Whether anybody thought she was crazy or not. That and she didn't want to cause this guy any trouble. He seemed....kind. Which was rare for the world today. When he didn't let go, she threw her weight down, so that she was sitting in the sand, dead weight.

'Let's see him try to move me now!" she thought with a laugh.

Aero glanced at the hotel room. It was a dark blue and white bed and the walls were a dark blue color. She sighed and lied on the bed. After staying up for a day and an half, fighting, and driving a van of crazy people, she was worn out. Her ears twitched as she heard Devon and Kayla fight over a pillow since they were sharing the same room. Brandon’s yell was heard and then a thud. She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.

“THAT’S MY PILLOW!”

“SHUT UP DEVON IT’S MINE!” Aero’s eyes snapped open. She got out of bed and stormed to Devon and Kayla’s room. The door slammed open and the siblings looked at Aero. “AERO! TELL HIM IT’S MY PILLOW!”

“NO IT’S MINE!”

“MINE!”

“MINE!” Aero walked towards them and grabbed the pillow.

“It’s mine now. Now, SHUT UP AND LET ME SLEEP!” They quickly shut their mouths and stared at Aero. “Got it?”

“Yeah…”

“Good.” Aero turned on her heel and walked out of the room. She passed Rin’s room, who was standing at the doorway. “What are you looking at?” Rin shook her head and walked back into her room. Aero stared at the door for a minute before going to her room. She yawned and collapsed on her bed. She was out in a few seconds.

XxXxXxX

“Susan, get up.” Susan opened her eyes and saw Devon. She saw the clock and saw it was 4AM. ‘I’ve been out for 10 hours? Wow.’
“What do you want?” Devon dragged her suitcase to the door and saw that Susan was still in bed.

“We gotta go. Someone found out Rin was a Necro and they called the police. We only got a few minutes so let’s go!” Susan jumped out of bed, eyes wide. She slipped on her shoes and ran out the door, Devon trailing her. She ran into the truck as Brandon and Devon were putting the suitcases in the bed of the truck.

“I always wonder how they find out Rin is a Necro,” said Kayla, putting on her shoes.

“I don’t know. It’s like some other force out there is making it happen so it can be more exciting.” They all looked at Susan, who was eating a Dum-Dum. “What? It could be true.” Everyone shook their head.

“Ok, the bags are in.” Devon and Brandon jumped in. “Let’s go!” Aero turned on the truck and stepped on the gas. As soon they were on the highway, cop cars were behind them. They active the sirens and drove faster.

“Fuck!” yelled Aero, ducking when a bullet went where her head was just was. Her eyes snapped to Rin, who was looking out the window. “Rin!” She gazed at Aero. “Do something to get the window behind you down and shoot them!” Rin grinned evilly, grabbed the Uzi’s, and shot down the window. “That’s one way,” muttered Aero.

“A little insane, isn’t she?” asked Devon, covering his head.

“I’m not insane,” said Rin, shooting a tire on a cop, making it turn, slamming into three other cars, causing a giant crash. She blinked when she saw a bullet go through her arm. She looked around and saw a Canine smirking, pistol twirling in his hands. Rin sneered and shot at the Canines wrist. The gun fell out of his hands and she shot the tire, making the car crash into the fire, making it grow bigger.

“I would drive faster Aero,” said Susan, putting on her seatbelt.

“Why?”

“Because it looks like it’s about to go boom!” Aero looked at the mirror and saw it was about to explod.

“Crap.” Aero stepped on the gas pedal, making Rin fly into the truck.

“Stupid Feline,” muttered Rin, getting in her seat. When Aero was a mile away, there was an explosion where the cop cars were at. Aero pulled to a stop, jumped out of the truck, and walked around it, trying to get the adrenaline (not the powers one) to leave her system. Devon blinked and then grinned.

“Can we do that again?”

“NO!”

[rainor]

(I'm going to post when Nrocha lets XdbX join and i won't be around an computer with internet for like one week)

[K.T.O_o]

The childishness of the situation was starting to piss Martin off. "Come on you stubborn mule! You'll die out here! Necro or not!" He then picked Hanaki up on his shoulders and looked at buddy, who was still calmly walking toward the truck. 'Damn that is one smart animal.... god, when I get to a town... im getting in some bar fights, seriously.'

When Martin got to the truck, he set Hanaki down in the passenger seat and buddy jumped on top of her. Martin then fastened her with the seat belt, and locked it. After brushing some dirt off is pants he climbed in the drivers seat and started heading north.
__________________
Hanaki was fuming! Like most Necros, she hated not getting her way and she had just been thoroughly treated like baggage. She already knew it was useless to try to jump so she just sat there glaring at the night sky. She'd leave as soon as they made it to the next town. After that, she'd try to find some work, for at least a week. She wasn't getting anywhere without money. Which now left the problem of finding a place to stay. There was no way she was going to be able to afford a motel.
_______________
Martin stopped the truck and looked over at Hanaki. "Sorry about that... I just.... dont like.... ummmmmm.... I dont like to be alone. Never have... and probobly never will." Martin could feal himself blushing from the confession.
______________
"Huh?" Hanaki was pulled from her thoughts of money problems. She noticed that he was blushing and she would have laughed at the look on his face if she wasn't so good at controlling her emotions. "What was that?"
______________
'She didnt hear me...' Martin pulled himself together. "uuu... never mind." He looked back at buddy and could swear he was smiling. Martin began to drive the truck again. When a Feline landed lightly on the hood, a large broadsword in its hand and its eyes growing red. It was a Necro knight.

"There you are." He said to Hanaki, lifting up his broadsword. By the time he had lifted it up, Martin had grabbed hold of his .45 and placed two shots through the windshield, in the Necros chest. But the Necro continued to swing, and Martin jumped out of the truck, Hanaki still locked in. The blade landed right where Martin was sitting.
_______________
Hanaki stared in horror at the Necro on the hood of the truck. She couldn't believe that he'd follow her out here!!!

"Keimos!" She cried, just as Martin fired his gun.

As expected, it didn't even phase him. He swung at Martin, but Martin was able to dodge by flipping into the backseat, where Buddy was growling. Frustrated by the miss, Keimos turned his cruel red eyes on Hanaki.

"Miss me, sweet heart?" he purred evily.

Hanaki pulled herself out of her daze and scrambled with the seatbelt. It came off too late. If there was one thing Keimos was other than insane, it was fast. Hanaki felt herself being jerked sideways by the collar of her jacket, her mask knocked off her face. Without the mask to cover her mouth and eyes she ended up with a faceful of sand. She staggered up and spit out the grainy sand and wiped her face.

Behind her, she heard the truck come to a stop, but her more immediate concern was the soft steps she heard stirring the sand behind her. She twirled and flung sand into Keimos's brown-furred face. He howled as it entered his eyes and he clawed at his face, allowing Hanaki to move behind him and karate chop the back of his neck.

Again she wasn't fast enough. Keimos had managed to rid his eyes of sand and now he held her wrist firmly in his hand.

"Naughty girl." he hissed gently, twisting so that Hanaki was forced to her knees. "You'll need to be punished for running away....."
___________
Martin watched the episode in terror. A Necro just tried to kill him! And now hes taking Hanaki. A thought came to his mind and he pulled out a box under all the junk in the back of the truck. Out of the box he pulled out a special gun given to him by his father , back when he actually cared about Martin. It was a heavily custimized 12 Gauge. Martin scrambled out of the truck and looked on as the Necro brought Hanaki to her knees

"Naughty girl. You'll need to be punished for running away...." The Necro said to Hanaki.

Martin lifted up the Shotgun and yelled "Hey asshole!" He couldn't help trying to sound cool. After the Necro turned around annoyed. Martin unloaded every bullet in the 12 Gauge into the Necro. Once it was empty, the Necro ran off leaving Hanaki, his energy drained from the loss of meat and blood.
______________
Hanaki watched Keimos flee, as she got up and rubbed her wrist. It wasn't over and she knew it, now that he knew where she was. It was all the more urgent that they get to the next town and split up.
_______________
Martin reloaded the shotgun, just in case theres more. He then walked over to Hanaki and put his left hand on her shoulder. "Im going to need a FULL and DETAILED explination. NOW."

[nrocha20]

"I already told that there was somebody after me." Hanaki said, brushing his hand from her shoulder. "It's all you really need to know, and I'd rather not talk about it." She turned her face away before she could give anything away. She could feel her eyes beginning to tear up.

She quickly rubbed them as if there was still sand in her eyes. "We'll be in the next town soon and then you won't hear from again, so there's no point in you knowing. If you want to leave me hear that's fine. I can make it walking in half a day from here."
___________________
Martin sighed, assuming it was for the best. 'But I dont want to abandon Hanaki, its weird, almost like buddy, I feels attatched to her... its probobly nothing'

Martin opened the hood of the truck to discover some... significant damages. "Were not going anywhere in this. Would you rather give me till Noon to fix it (it is currently 1:00 AM), or would you rather gather up all the supplys we can and start walking north?"
____________________
Hanaki was surprised that he was still willing to put up with her. Kinda nice. She pushed the feeling away quickly.

"I'd say start walking North." She said thinking quickly. "Like I said, it's only a half day walk. We could make into town and then you can have a repair crew come out for your truck before you'd be done fixing it. And after Keimos, it'll be safer to NOT stay in one place."
___________________
"We can forget the repair crew. By half a day, rouge (how do you say it?) Canines will have taken this thing to pieces. I can even see one over there." Martin pointed to a canine standing a good 50 meters away. Waiting for the two to leave their junker. "So its best if we get all we can carry, especially water and money, and start walking to town." Martin started backing two large packs full of plenty of water, money, and a bit of food. He also packed weapons, Hanaki had whatever weapons she had. Martin had his twelve gauge in his sleaping bag, a swiss knife in his pocket, his .45 in its holster, and a 9mm in his backpack. The three started heading off toward the settlement. Looking back only once to see three Canines repairing the truck, it has more use mobile then a pile of scraps probobly.

After about six hours of walking, Martin collapsed. "Hanaki... I have to rest... I havent slept in two days, and im a driver not a walker god damnit!"
____________________
Hanaki snorted in amuesment. She was still a Necro, just what you'd call tame. She reached under her jacket and shifted her Uzi and sniper rifle so that they were situated on her hip. Then she reached for Martin's pack and handed it to Buddy. The coyote looked quite comical with the larfe backpack hanging in his jowls. Then she hoisted Martin onto her back, showing more strength than should be possible for a normal Feline female.

"Which way?" she asked.
___________________
Wait? If She is able to lift Martin up off i the air... how did he drag her to the truck? '.....Whatever.' Martin primorial instincts of man not liking it when woman stronger were setting in. Instead of making him angry, it made him blush. 'I hate myself' "uuuuuuhhh... Continue straight."

They walked on for about half an hour when Martin spoke up again. "I think im good. Hanaki set him back down and he got his pack from the cayote. They continued walking for another 3 hours when they reached the settlement was in site. "Wait a minute... I cant go in! Not in these clothes!" Martin spun around, revealing a large amount on Cheyanne symboles, the Cheyanne are the mortal enamies of the Tomohawk. And the settlement. "They have sensors through the gates, they'll pick up the metal logos from the clothes... and I cant go naked! The Tomohawk are the one of the most ethical tribes ever! What am I going to do!?" Martin sat and thought for a second. "Hanaki, did you pack a change of clothes?"

Hanaki stared at him as if he had just asked the most absurd thing in the world.......but he had. She turned away and tried stifling a giggle, but failed miserably. Before she knew it, she was laughing uncontrollably.

"S-sorry!!" she cried, trying to stop, but the idea of Martin in HER clothes was just too much. For one, the only thing that would probably fit him was her cargo pants and jacket. Two, he'd still look like a cross dressing combat man.

She needed to stop thinking about it. If she didn't stop laughing, she might die of lack for air!

[demonickilla]

Morlas walked through the dark streets, holding his assualt rifle up. 'My arm hurts?' He looked down at his arm and saw a large gash 'Oh fuck, Devil kin will be after me in 2 minutes tops.' Morlas tried to remember where the safe house was. He looked behind him and saw someone standing in the street, looking at him. 'That can't be a devil kin.' The person started into a run towards Morlas.

Morlas, startled, shot at it, the man fell down. Morlas walked up to the person and inspected him. 'It was a devil kin.' He looked at it closer and suddenly it pushed Morlas off.

The devil kin got back up and started coughing and holding its stomach. "What the hell?" The devil kin looked up in the sky and blood leaked out of its mouth. A large tenticle sprouted from the devil kins chest and flew towards Morlas. Morlas fell backwards and the tenticle went over him. He grabbed his gun and shot at the devil kin. It fell it ran at Morlas and jumped ontop of him. "Get .... the.. FUCK OFF ME!!!!"

The devil kin opened its mouth and came closer towards Morlas. The devil kin bit into Morlas's neck and Morlas screamed. He blanked out.

(Haven't posted in so long :O!)

I watched as Katherine returned fire blindly under her cover. I suppose I should help her, then.

I threw bone dust all over the floor and my skeletal minions appeared. I ordered them to flank the soldiers down the road, while I and Katherine distracted. They nodded silently and crept away. "Here!" Katherine called out to me, throwing a pistol at me.

I barely managed to grab it, almost dropping it to the ground. "But I don't know how to use a gun!" I said, crouching next to her. She turned to face me, looking at me in utter disbelief. "In this time and age, you don't know how to use a bloody gun?"

"I've always used my sword. Guns are... Different." Was my sheepish reply. She sighed then told me to turn the safety off, load the plasma into the gun, and pull the trigger. It was a fairly easy thing, loading the gun, but firing and aiming was another thing totally. "STOP SHOOTING THE BLOODY HOUSES! SHOOT THEM!"

Katherine screamed into my ear. It left a light ringing sound. But she was right. There were three arcane soldiers across from us, each with their own makeshift cover, carrying plasma rifles. The two of us were both armed with a single pistol. And only Katherine managed to hit their cover.

I tried to aim, but it took too long and by then bullets ripped just past my head, forcing me back into cover. "It's called blind fire for something right?" I retorted.

"Then try-" She got out of cover, aimed in a split second, and the plasma bolt ripped through the sky, making its home in a soldier's chest. "This." She said as she got back into cover.

"I don't have that much experience! I'm much better at this." I dropped the plasma pistol and drew my sword. My skeletons had already found their targets, and were attempting to disarm them. I had approximately four and a half seconds before the soldiers would overpower my weak minions. That was more than enough.

I sprinted across to them, bringing my sword up in an arc, killing one of them. I jumped to the other, and my skeleton minion passed me his rifle. I took the rifle and pressed it to the man's forehead. "Where is the nearest Arcane Empire camp?" I asked. His reply was full of fear.

"Tw-Twenty kilometers fr-from here. So-Southwest di-di-direction." And the next second his head blew up in a grotesque display of blood and brain bits.

"I know where to go now." I said to Katherine, who was running towards me.

[nrocha20]

"Okay! Okay!!" Hanaki cried between giggles. She stuffed her pack into his arms. "H-here!!"

She leaned over, against a rock that they had stopped beside. She tried to catch her breath while Martin changed behind the rock. She could hear him grumbling and she could just imagine what he might be finding in her backpack. The thought of it made her stop laughing altogether.

'Shit!!' she thought. 'I should've just given him the clothes!!! Goddammit!!! I keep TAMPONS in there!! AND DIARY!!!!'
________________
Martin dug through her pack, finding many.... ackward items. He left those and grabbed the cargo pants and jacket. After changing he gave Hanaki her pack back. And sat down as she began laughing again. 'Must... resist... urge... to go... naked.' "Should I zip up the jacket you think?" He said, the white patch of fur on his chest showing.
_______________
After seeing Martin, the thought of him going through her pack was instantly forgotten. She was now laughing so hard that she was clutching her sides and in danger of falling off the rock. His question didn't even register past the insanity of the situation and it seriously looked like Buddy was smiling. She was laughing so hard that it was becoming difficult to breathe under the mask so she threw it up and wiped her eyes.

It was the first time she'd smiled in front of anybody since she'd changed into a Necro.

"Wow!!" she gasped. "I haven't laughed that hard in so long!!!"
___________-
Martin ISNT enjoying this. But he is getting a strange satisfaction from seeing her happy... weird. "Glad to see your ammused." He said grabbing the mask. and putting it on his own face. As the three walked down to the settlment Hanaki grabbed her mask back.

They entered through the gates easily. The gaurds were to busy laughing to check their bags, or even notice the Coyote. The first thing they did was go to a clothes shop and Martin a good Farmers outfit, and a snazzy pilot jumpsuit. He put the farmers suit on. And the two engaged in conversation in the alley behind the store. "So... now that were here. What are you gonna do?"
______________
Hanaki bit her lip in thought. "Well.....I'll need to find work and get some money. Like most dessert towns they must have a form of transport out of this place. Maybe to a big city...."

'More like an abandoned jungle......it's be easier to disappear.' She thought.

"So I guess we'll be splitting here...." Strange. She felt almost...sad. She reluctantly stuck out her hand. "Thanks for all the help."

Martin looked at Hanaki, and made a decision. "No, you only have one choice in this matter. And thats if you want me to come with you. Or you come with me."
_______________________
Hanaki stared at him in surprise. Then she looked angry.

"Look! This is no time for you to be stubborn. Keimos has seen your face. He knows you're with me. If it stays that way then he can find you. Don't ask me how he tracks me....I have no idea." Hanaki shrugged. "Obviously the safest and most logical thing to do is to go our separate ways."
___________________
Martin started to get angry as well. "I blew chunks off of him with a 12 Gauge. You dont think hes going to want to slit my throat anyway? You werent able to take him down by yourself. If we stick together, next time he ambushes us we might even be able to kill him or scare him off for good."

Martin calmed down and put his hand on Hanakis shoulder again. Its what he does when ever hes trying to seriously communicate with someone. "So. Please, lets stick together. At least untill we know that this Necro is gone for good."
__________________
Hanaki bit her lip. She wasn't sure what to do, but maybe Martin was right......

"Fine, but the next time he Keimos shows up, don't use the gun.....it'll only make him angrier."
__________________________
"Alright." Martin said smiling. He then pulled out a small pouch of money and tossed it to Hanaki. "Can you get us two rooms down at that Inn across the street? I'll go see if I can find Vince's friend."

Martin then proceeded to walk down the alley, out of Hanakis sight.
______________________________
Hanaki watched him walk away. Then she turned on her heel and walked into the inn.

"Two rooms, please." she said laying the pouch on the counter in front of the cashier.

He gave her an odd look. ( A reaction to the mask) then handed her two room keys. "Rooms 210 and 211, 3 rd floor."

Morlas opened his eyes to find himself alone. 'Sooo..... dark.' He picked himself up and looked around. He was in the same place as before when the devil kin bit him. He looked on the ground. The street was smeared with blood, and then there were blood foot prints leading away from the pool of blood. Was, that me? Suddenly the sound of a growl was heard and Morlas spun his head around to see around ten devil kin rushing towards him. Morlas reached for his gun and the gun shook in his hand. 'What the hell?' Morlas shot and the bullets went way off course.

"What the fuck!" Morlas screamed at the devil kin. Suddenly somthing came over himself he reached for his two daggers and jumped up into the air. Morlas landed onto one of the devil kin and rips his dagger through the devil kins chest. He then looked over to another one and threw his dagger into the D.K.s face. But one in front of him tackled him down, the two daggers flung out of his hands. The devil kins deep dead eyes stared deeply into Morlas's, and for a moment the devil kin and Morlas were one. Then the moment was gone Morlas felt a surge of red surge through him, he lifted his hand to the devil kins head and power surged through Morlas.

The power felt so good. The devil kin screamed into the night, as Morlas drained its power. after what seemed to be hours the devil kin fell to the ground completely drained. Morlas picked him self up and went down to reach for his dagger when suddenly in a flash of red light, a sword appeared in his hands. Morlas knew this was'nt any ordinary sword. It was tinted in red along the hilt and mysterious letters were emprinted along the blade but suddenly the sword glistened and disappeared, Morlas felt emdiatly drained to the bone. He slowly walked over to his two daggers and picked them up.

Morlas felt like he wanted to kill more, but not just devil kin. Oh no not just devil kin. He felt like he wanted to kill every thing.

[XdbX]

“I will find the one with fur and drips water”
Fren thought. He was not going to let the beast go. He would hunt it for one reason only. To keep his honor as a hunter of “The Green that follows the brown.”
The furred beast wouldn’t get away again. He would see to it. Even if he had to go to the “Land of the rocky dirt.” He looked back at the forest. (“The green that follows the brown”) He would miss his home. But his honor was at stake. Taking his first step on the desert (“land of the rocky dirt”) . He had to move. The land seem to go on till the end of the world. The only thing that changed were the hills and and where the tracks went. Along the way he saw patches of fur.

It was dry. The light in the sky beat down on Fren as if it were made that he crossed in to it’s domain. But he had to go there. He only hoped that the light in the sky would kind once again when he went back to the “Green that follows the brown” He felt water on him. And he looked around for sight of the pery, the tracks he just lost ( i know i didnt say anything telling you about it. that why i said JUST lost) , or water,

(ya i know i said i wasnt going to post soon but i lied. Rainor i were talking and he want me to post a little saying where i came from before we do a team post. Im all for any ways.)

[shadow_strike]

“My God it’s hot,” said Kayla, whipping the sweat off of her fur. They stopped in the Cacti desert for a break and that probably wasn’t the smartest idea seeing that it’s the hottest desert in the world.

“Quit your whining Kayla,” said Devon. “You’re not the one working on the engine.”

“I could-“

“NO! Last time you work with a car you made it blow up!”

“I did what you told me.”

“You stopped because your favorite song came on and you crossed the wrong wires together!”

“So?” Aero sighed from where she was sitting.

“Can the both of ya’ll shut up?” They continued to bicker and Aero felt her eye twitch. “Hey!” They looked at her. “Shut up or I will leave you here.”

“You won’t do that,” commented Rin, not looking up from cleaning her katana.

“You’re right but at least shut up.”

“DONE!” Devon slammed the hood down. Aero stood up and brushed the sand off. When she got to the truck, she saw Brandon in his seat, still cleaning an Uzi. He looked up when she came in and smiled. Aero looked in the rear view mirror and saw everyone was in their seats. She turned the key and smoke came out from the front. They all turned to the middle row and glared and Devon. He chuckled nervously. “I can fix that.”

An hour later

Devon finally got the engine working and they’ve been on the road for ten minutes.

“Hey Aero.”

“Yes Susan?”

“Where’s the nearest town?”

“We sh-” Aero stopped talking and slammed on the breaks. “Oh no. I hit someone. LET’S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!”

“Aero!”

“What?”

“You’re not supposed to leave the person you hit in the middle of the desert.”

“Says who?”

“Says good morals.”

“Damn. I never liked good morals.” Aero jumped out of the truck and walked to the front. She saw a long Feline with brown fur in a Cheyenne uniform lying on the ground with two guns strapped to his back. She blinked when she saw he was missing his index finger on his left hand. She winced when she saw blood running down the side of his head.

“Rin.” The Necro stuck her head out the window.”You’re going to drive.” Rin nodded, got out, and walked towards the driver’s seat “Kayla, go to the middle seat in the front and Susan and Devon, go in the back.” The Felines nodded and did what they were told. Aero did a fireman carry to the unconscious Feline and put him in the middle. Aero took off his two guns and set them on the floor. She got out a medical kit and started to work on his head.

XxXxXxXxX

Vince felt his head on something soft and something on his head, going in and out. He kept his eyes closed and kept his breathing normal so he can eavesdrop to figure out where he is.

“Aero, are you done with the John Doe?”

“Just about. It’s a pretty large cut he got on his head.”

“You should pay more attention while driving.”

“Shut up. He came out of nowhere. I didn’t mean to hit him.”

‘So far I know that there are three people. Two male and one female. Aero, the female, must be a medic. She took off my AK-52 and bayonet but not my handgun. Guess I hid that well. Now, I need the element of surprise on my hands…’ Vince waited another minute and then sprung up and held Aero at gunpoint and put her in front of him. What he wasn’t expecting to see was a sword, a katana, and two Uzi’s pointed at his head.

“Put Aero down and you won’t get hurt,” growled the black and gold Feline.

“To get to me, you have to get her,” said Vince, holding Aero higher. He gasped in pain when he felt someone punch him in the guts. He let go of Aero and held his stomach. He groaned and saw a fist going to the back of his head. The last thing he saw was a blue hand.

[demonickilla]

Morlas walked through the dark streets, looking. He had been walking through the town for a half an hour, looking for the safe house. He had met a few D.K.s on the way, but they did'nt even take a look at him, they just kept on walking. Morlas came around a building and saw one of the arcane soldiers, protrolling. 'They've already have a perimenter built since the attack?' Morlas sneaked up to him, keeping in the shadows, when he was about a meter away, Morlas threw his dagger at the man.

The man, caught by surprise, could'nt dodge the dagger. The man struggled as the dagger was stuck in his chest, and soon there was another dagger in his fore head.

Morlas cleaned both his daggers on the soldier's shirt, and continued on. 'Ugh, that kill made me feel so good, I can't stop now, I need to kill the rest of the soldiers.' Morlas kept on walking through the town, now knowing he was close. Morlas found the safe room. 'Will the turrets attack me?' Morlas walked in sight of the turrets and.... nothing. 'Phew.'

Morlas walked into the safe room and looked around. There was about nine soldiers around the encampment, probably more in the tents, Morlas had a view on the captain, he was sitting beside a tree. "Hey, Morlas!"

Morlas walked over to the captain. "Captain, It's hell out there."

The captain's eyes narrowed. "Really?"

"Yes, thousands of devil kin walking around." Morlas spit. "The nasty things."

The captain's eyes narrowed even deeper. "Well, we are stuck here until reinfocements arrive, I'll call them in on the radio now."

"Oh, that won't be neccecery." Morlas took a step towards the captain.

"Why?" The captain put his hand onto his gun, Morlas saw the movement, and struck. He ran up to the captain and sliced his gun hand off.

"What are you doing!!!!" The captain shreaked and ran off. Morlas looked around and found some matches lying on the ground. 'That gives me an idea.' The other men were too dazed to hear the captain shreaking. Morlas walked around and found a few gas tanks, he picked them up and wet all the tents with the gas.

He lit up the matches and threw them at all the tents, they went up in flames, and soon the entire encampment was a raging ball of heat.

Morlas walked out of the camp, while the remaining soldiers woke from their daze and looked for water.

[ShadowDancer]

Vince slowly regained consciousness. He looked around and saw that the tent was empty. He tried to sit up, but found that someone had bound his hands and feet. He cussed loudly but it was muffled by the tape on his mouth. Now what? he thought as he lay on the dirt covered floor. Vince scanned the tent, searching for any sharp objects that might be lying around. There was barely anything in there. All he found was a blanket, a bottle of water, and a pack of gum. Vince sighed and rolled over on his side, where he found a pair of boots an inch from his face.

“How’s it going?” A voice asked in a playful tone. Vince looked up to see a black feline standing over him. “You know,” she continued, “I could kill you at any moment if I wanted to.” He watched as she stepped over him and lifted the blanket, revealing a long Katana. The feline picked it up and slowly unsheathed it. She then threw the blade at where his neck would’ve been had he not moved at the last second. “But then I decided,” she said, pulling it out of the ground, “This might be a fun opportunity for me.” Vince watched her sheath her Katana. Sweat beads had formed on his forehead and trickled down his cheek. He was powerless. He tried to scoot as far away from the feline as possible, but was stopped by the boot that was stepping on his side.

“Don’t be scared,” she said, kneeling down so that she was eye level with him. It was then that he realized what she really was. He let out a muffled scream and struggled to get away from her. “Shh…” she shushed, putting a finger to his taped lips, “I won’t hurt you… yet.” The necro smiled and unsheathed her Katana. Vince closed his eyes, waiting for her to strike. It never came. He opened his eyes and saw that the necro was nowhere in sight, and that the ropes binding his hands and feet were cut loose. He sat up, removed the tape from his mouth, and ran outside.



“Hey, where’s Rin?” Brandon asked Aero.

“Need something?” Brandon jumped and spun around to see her leaning against the driver’s side of the truck. What the--? When did she get there?! Devon came around from the other side carrying Susan on his back.

“Giddy up pony!” she cried, kicking his sides with her heels. Devon groaned and set her down. “Hey! I wasn’t done riding you.”

“You’ve been riding me for the past half hour! I think I deserve a break.” He wiped the sweat from his forehead and headed towards the tent. “I’m gonna go get a—” He was interrupted by a fist slamming into his face, giving him a bloody nose. Devon covered his face with his hands and rolled on the ground in pain. Brandon saw that it was the brown feline that they had tied up earlier.

“Hey! Who untied him?!” Brandon and Aero chased after the large feline who now had Devon’s sword with him. Aero reached for one of her knives and threw them at the feline. Brandon took out his Uzis and shot at him. The feline dodged both attacks and continued running. Aero then used her adrenaline to catch up to him and tackled him to the ground. Vince shouted at the sudden weight on him and tried to push Aero off. Aero kicked him in the groin and he groaned, trying to cover his 'jewels'. Brandon joined in on the skirmish and started punching randomly. They were interrupted by Susan’s scream.



“And so the fun begins,” Rin whispered to herself, unsheathing her Katana and slicing through the Devil Kin that attacked Susan. She got up, jumped inside the truck and locked all the doors. Rin laughed as she killed three more Devil Kin and took in the sweet scent of blood.

“Rin!” Aero called, pulling out her knives, “Take Susan someplace safe!” Rin nodded and got in the truck. She stepped on the pedal and raced out of the area. Susan looked back and watched as the fighting felines grew smaller and smaller until they were out of sight.

“I think we’re safe now,” she said, looking at Rin. Rin stopped the truck and stared at Susan. Her eyes showed her lust for blood. Slowly, she unsheathed her Katana.

[nrocha20]

Martin looked around for about 30 minutes before finding Vinces friend at a bar. Martin knew it was him from the picture Vince gave him.

"Excuse me sir. Vince sent me." Martin said, tapping the man on the shoulder.

The man swiftly turned around. Swift, but still calm. "So your Vince's friend huh? Alright, fallow me." The man got up and started to head out the front door of the bar. Martin fallowed close behind.

Then they walked to the store that was across the dirt street of the bar.

----1 hour later----

Martin had finally made it to the hotel. He has great news for Hanaki. "Excuse me." He said to the Pink furred Feline that ran the front of the hotel. "Did a odd masked female feline get two rooms earlier?"

"210 and 211." She said, writing something down on a clipboard.

"Thank you." Martin walked up two flights of stairs when he finally reached the rooms. He then knocked on both the doors and heard Hanaki's voice say, "Who is it?" from room 210.

"Its Martin." He said.
______________________
Hanaki started. "One second!" she called, hurrying to pull on the overnight shirt that she had been about to take off for the shower. Unfortunately, she had no time to pull on her jeans. She didn't have pajama pants. She never slept in them. Buddy watched Hanaki cross towards the door and gave her a small coff as if to say "That's totally inappropriate...."

"Oh stuff it." she muttered before opening the door. Martin seemed surprised that she had opened the door without a fight. "I suppose you're here for your key?"
______________________
"That and..." Martin let himself in. He knew full well that it was rude to barge in her room, but this is important! "I talked to Mike, My friends friend. He gave me two options for what we can do next."

He stood by the window facing out at the lowering sun while tossing an ad paper on the bed. "One, he will clear out a room at his house and give us a couple matresses so we have a place to sleep. And we can work at his shop. But I think we both can agree its not best to stay in one place very long. So he gave me that ad." Martin pointed to the paper on the bed, still facing the window.

"Two, we can sign up for the competition that the ad states. It says that we can sign up for one gran. Thats ABOUT how much money we have now. The competition is to build a Dune buggy from parts in a large junk yard. The rules are that we can have up to two people build the Dune Buggy and then one of those people will drive it, while the other operates any guns we put on it. I can build a Dune Buggy in my sleep, with your help we can get it done twice as fast. And you know how good of a driver I am. What do you say?" Amazingly through the entire time hes been talking, Martin hasnt looked at Hanaki once.
________________________
Hanaki bit her lip. She didn't know the first thing about building a dune buggy or any kind of vehicle. The door was open, so she closed (she didn't have her mask on) and turned toward Martin.

"I'd only slow you down..."she admitted. "I'm mechanical retarded....."
________________________
"Your a sniper right?" Martin said turning around. "You can operate a turret right? Well. All I need you to do is help me lift some stuff and put it together, and then use the gun im going to put on it. If we win we can keep the buggy, and we get 10 Gran. That money will certainly help us get away from whats-his-name.... But... its a gamble, if we lose, we lose all the money we have, and maybe our lives... what do you say?"

"Sounds dangerous..."Hanaki grinned."Alright. I'm in. But don't say I didn't warn you. If I do something wrong, I'm blaming you."

She handed him his key, and pointed to the door. "Now get out." She oushed him to the door."I have to take a shower."
______________________
Martin smiled as he was forced out of the room. When Hanaki shut the door behind him he started chuckling to himself. He then opened the door next to Hanaki's with the key she gave him. The room was small, it had a door between his and Hanaki's room, which was locked for reasons to well known. And there was a bed, satilite radio, large window, fridge (with no food inside), and a small bathroom with a bathtub/shower, toilet and sink. "A nice little room." Martin said to himself, shutting the door and starting the bath. If hes going to get washed up, it might as well be relaxing.

Once the bath was finished, Martin got in it (details will not be specified). 'Tommorow is going to be a loong day' He thought, laying back, relaxed. 'Hanaki should be fine tonight. I dont think that Necro would be stupid enough to enter a Tomohawk settlement like this.' Martin then layed his head back to rest his eyes.

[Trewoon]

Can I ask about the limits to necro energy power things? Because there wasn't much description about it. Or was that me just missing stuff?

[nrocha20]

(You can ask in PM, Off I say! Off!)

[K.T.O_o]

An hour later, Hanaki was laying in bed, staring at the ceiling. The wooden roof was devoid of decoration save the single electric light. Her eyes were heavy, but her emotions were running high. The window was closed and locked, but that didn't comfort her in the slightest. Keimos was out there. Somewhere. She turned over, restless and high-strung. Her handgun was underneath her pillow and her hand was firmly clasped around the handle, her finger on the trigger.

In the corner, Buddy was snoring noisily, making her ears twitch with each snort. 'Glad someone's getting sleep around here.' she thought. She pulled the covers off and walked silently to the conjoining door. She unlocked it and opened it quietly, and seeing Martin in bed, she breathed in relief. For some reason she was anxious that he was going to be gone in the morning. Her hand tightened on the door handle and she bit her lip. Then she silently shut the door and left it unlocked. She made her way back to the bed and sat on the edge, the bed creaking slightly from her added weight. It grated against her nerves. She stared out the window, her eyes following every shadow that moved over the desert.
__________
When the door shut Martin opened his right eye. It looked like he wasn't the only one who couldn't sleap. He got out of the bed, only wearing a pair of sweatpants he bought at the clothing store, and walked over to the door that seperated his and Hanakis rooms. He pit his cat-like ear to the wooden door and heard Hanaki breathing, her bed creaking, and Buddy snoring. 'I hope she'll be alright.' Martin thought. '......'

Martin walked quietly toward the window, looking at the small sources of light in the visable allyways. For somereason he wasnt even worried about the race tommorow afternoon, he is more worried about Hanaki and Buddy. Other then Vince, they are his only pals. Thats probobly why he keeps coming up with excuses for them not to seperate. Martin sighed and took a step backward to turn around. But somehow he managed to trip over his own feet and made a loud crash as he hit the wooden floor. He just laid there silently, hoping Hanaki didnt hear.
____________
Hanaki stood upright and bolted for the door that separated hers and Martin's rooms. It was Keimos!! He was back!! She yanked it open and rushed into the room only to trip over a prone figure just on the other side. She landed on top of Martin and heard the breath rush from his lungs. Her own breath was coming in gasps thanks to the breath that had been lnocked out of her from the impact. It was few seconds before she could form a rational response.

"S-sorry!!" she gasped, trying to breath deeply. "I heard a c-crash and...." she breathed in again,"And panicked."

She rolled off of Martin and tried to sit up. She breathed deeply and slowly then checked to see if he was okay.
_______________
Martin gasped for breath. Hanaki was heavier then she looked. "Im-*Cough* fine." Hanaki offered him a hand, which he took, to help him get back up to his feet. "That was.... intresting......"

Martin brushed himself off and looked at Hanaki. "I noticed you have been having trouble sleaping.... anything you want to get off your chest?"
______________
Hanaki shook her head. "It's nothing. I just can't sleep." She glanced out the window then back at Martin....All of a sudden she was aware of how muscular he was. It took her a moment to figure out that it was because he wasn't wearing a shirt. She could feel herself blushing and only hoped that it was dark enough that he wouldn't notice. Not having fur had disadvantages.

"I'll go back to my room now...."she said, her voice slightly uneven. It was the first time she'd actually seen a guy half-naked and it made her feel embarrassed. She turned around quickly and walked back onto her room.
_______________
Martin gave Hanaki a confused look as she shut the door. 'I wonder what it means when flesh turns red.... oh well, maybe shes hot.' He then went to the bathroom and washed his face and hands over the sink. 'Ive only been banished for three days... its so weird. But now I can use my adrenaline again. That will give me an advantage for tommorows race. Martin then left the bathroom and layed down on the bed. 'Ill ask Hanaki what red flesh means tommorow. The furrless are so funny.'

“Ohshit,” said Aero. 16 Devil Kin were slowly stalking towards them. “Kayla, gofindaplacetohide.” Kayla blinked and looked at Brandon.

“She said for you to find a place to hide.”

“Ohhhh.” Kayla nodded and ran off. Brandon got out his Uzis and pointed at a Devil Kin. Before he could shoot one, Vince took an Uzi out of Brandon’s hand and started to shoot.

“HEY!” Brandon glared at Vince. Vince ignored him and continued to shoot. He never noticed the Devil Kin coming from behind him. Aero speed by and stabbed it in the base of the neck. It screamed in rage and went to scratch her. Brandon shot it in the head and it fell down. Aero glared at Vince.

“Payattention! You’rea god-damnsoldier! Youknowthedangersofnotpayingattentioninthemiddleof abattle!”

“Oh, what would you know?!” Vince never took his eyes of the Devil Kin he was shooting.”

“Iknowenough.” Aero ran over to Devon and helped him out.

“Thanks.” Devon stabbed a Devil Kin through the chest where the heart would be.

“You’rewelcome.” Aero leaped in the air and jumped on a Devil Kin’s back. She took a poisoned knife and stabbed it in the neck.

“We have one more left!” yelled Devon. They all surrounded the Devil Kin. It sniffed the air and then leapt towards Devon. He froze in shock and didn’t move. He closed his eyes and waited for his death. Good bye world. I’ll see you in heaven Kayla. He opened his eyes when he felt blood on his face.

“Ae…ro.” Aero stood in front of Devon, blood dripping down her left side. The Devil Kin lied dead in front of her. She turned her head and looked at Devon.

“Next…time…move.” Aero fell forward, face first. Everyone ran towards her.

“Aero!” Brandon flipped her over and pushed his hands against the cut. “Come on Aero…I can’t lose you.” He looked around for Kayla. “KAYLA!” He saw Kayla run over.

“Yes?”

“Where is the medical kit?!” Kayla looked up, thinking.

“It’s…in the truck.” Brandon got a frustrated look on his face.

“FUCK!” He saw the tent was still up. “Vince and Devon, on the count of three, we lift her up and take her to the tent.” They nodded. Vince went to grab Aero’s feet and Devon Aero’s arms. Brandon grabbed the middle. “1…2…3!” They lifted her up and because of the sudden lift, the cuts on Aero started to bleed faster. “HURRY!” They practically ran to the tent and set her on the floor. They left as Kayla ran in and started to pour the water on the cuts.

“Now what?” asked Devon, sitting on the ground. Brandon fell to the ground, his face in his hands. “She’ll be ok.” Brandon’s head snapped up.

“How would you know?! TELL ME! HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW?!” Devon looked at the road.

“What is that?” Vince and Brandon looked up and saw something coming down the road. It slowly came to a stop. “It’s the truck.” They all walked towards it. Vince went to the front and whistled.

“That’s a big dent. Is that a foot print?” Devon walked towards Vince.

“I guess Rin kicked it towards us.” Devon picked up the note on the truck.

Took Susan to a near by town and left her there. I kicked the truck back because I have to do something and I don’t need it. Rin.

“THE KIT!” Brandon threw open the door, got the medical kit and ran towards the tent.

[demonickilla]

Morlas sat down in the dark streets. "I... Need to think about this..."
Morlas felt his neck and felt blood trickle down. Morlas looked up in the sky. "Please, if there are any one up there, don't let the devil kin find me." Morlas looked down again and raised his hand to his face, he then put it down and saw a figure walking towards him. Before the figure could get to him Morlas coughed and blood came gushing out, he blacked out.

-----

"Wake up..." Morlas opened his eyes.

"What... I thought I was dead." Morlas blinked as light poured into his vision.

"Not yet you ar'nt." Morlas heard foot steps.

Morlas's surroundings came into place, he was in a convinence store. Morlas stood up and looked around to see a man holding a fire axe, sitting in a chair. "Who are you?"

[shadow_strike]

Aero groaned in pain. Something was lying on her wounds. Wait, wounds? Aero opened her eyes and lifter her head.

It was dark outside so she couldn’t see what was on her wounds. Is that an arm? Aero followed the arm and blinked when she saw who it was connected too.

“Uh…Kayla?” Aero poked her with her good arm. “Kayla?”

“Mmph.” Kayla slowly opened her eyes and saw Aero staring at her. Kayla looked down and saw where her arm was.

“…”

“I’M SO SORRY!” Kayla moved her arm and ran out of the tent. Aero blinked and sat down her head.

“That was awkward.”

XxXxXxX

Brandon walked out of the tent at 8AM. “Mornin’.” Vince and Kayla muttered their greetings and continued to eat. Brandon sat down and grabbed one of the apples. “How is Aero doing.” Kayla and Vince looked at each other then at Brandon.

“Well…she’s…relaxed.” Brandon raised an eyebrow and faced Kayla.

“Define relaxed.”

“The sky is so blue…” commented Aero. Brandon looked around and saw Vince point behind him. Brandon looked around Vince and saw Aero lying on the ground, looking up at the sky with a dazed look.

“Aero?” Aero turned her head and grinned at Brandon.

“Hey babe. Wow, your fur is so dark and pretty.” Aero stretched a hand out to him and grabbed his tail. “And it’s also soft.” She tugged on his tail, making him fall towards her and made him sit by her. Aero started to pet him. “Who’s the pretty Feline? You are!” Brandon groaned in embarrassment.

“Help?” Vince chuckled and shook his head while Kayla just giggled.

“You’re the one who decided to love her.”

“Yes but this is embarrassing.”

“That’s love.” Aero stopped petting Brandon. Everyone looked at her.

“WHAT IS LOVE? OH BABY DON’T HURT ME! DON’T HURT ME! NO MORE!” It was silent for a minute but then Devon ran out of the tent and grabbed Aero.

“OH BABY DON’T HURT ME! DON’T HURT ME! NO MORE!”

“What is love? Yeah” Vince, Kayla, and Brandon slowly backed away from the singing couple who were quiet and just stared at them with giant grins.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know, but let’s blame Vince since he is the one who mentioned love.” Vince covered Brandon’s mouth but it was too late.

“Oh, I don’t know why you’re not there. I give you my love, but you don’t care. So what is right and what is wrong. Gimme a sign.
“What is love? Oh baby don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me, no more. What is love? Oh baby don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me, no more.” Aero stared at Devon. He fidgeted.

“What?” Aero grinned and tackled him into a hug.

“YOU’RE SO CUTE!” Devon could feel the skin under his fur heat up. The other three stared at the scene.

“Should we help him?” asked Vince, watching Aero hug Devon and saying how cute he was. Kayla shook her head.

“Nah. This is too funny.” Kayla got a camcorder and started to record the little one-sided love fest.

“HELP ME!” yelled Devon, trying to push Aero off.

[Silitor]

I never thought twenty kilometers could be so long. The felyne beside me was practically covered in sweat. She had torn her skirt in half, propped her legs onto the counter, unbuttoned her shirt, and was still sweating like a dog.

"Are... Are we there yet?" She barely managed to say.

"Yeah. There's the base in the distance. See it?" I replied. Immediately she sat upright, staring into the distance. "Yeah. Come on. Let's ditch this trash compactor." I actually quite liked the car we abandoned. It was nice and shiny.

"Any ideas?" I asked my companion as we stealthily walked along the walls of the base. It was not really a base, more of a... encampment. Small, but still with strong enough steel walls to keep people like us out.

"Yeah... See that guard over there? We take his passkey."

"Ever the subtle one, aren't you?" Was my reply.

"Haha. I know. Come on." We crept up behind the guard, who was drifting into sleep. Katherine wanted to crack his neck, but I just decapitated him. It was more efficient to me. Sure, it made a mess, but what necro dosen't want blood shed?

We took his passkey and entered the base. So far, no alarms had been sounded. "Hmm... To get into the main base. There are two gigantic turrets. I don't think we'll be able to get in through the front door." I said. "But I have an idea."

A few minutes later we were being escorted to the front door by a guard. The guard was actually the guard we had killed. I had managed to sew on his neck almost perfectly, and breathed life into his body once again. The guards at the front door let us in, and told us the way to the prison. Like hell we were going there anyway.

I deanimated the guard once the front doors shut themselves. We crept deeper into the base, and with each step further inside I found myself wondering how the hell I got into this situation. "Are you sure about this Kat, that you want to wage a war against the Arcane Empire?"

She pondered on it for awhile, and we stopped moving. After what seemed like a few minutes, she spoke. "Firstly, Since when did you call me Kat? Secondly, yes. Ever since something happened to me when I was young, I've decided to go against the Arcane Empire. No matter what. Come O-"

"INTRUDERS!" Shouted somebody behind us. It was a guard. He brandished a plasma baton and charged at us. I met him head on with my sword. Sparks flew as our weapons clashed. I pushed, causing him to lose his balance. Quickly, I severed his hand off, then proceeded to stopping his life.

More guards rounded the corner, unleashing a shower of bullets at us. I picked the dead guard and used him as a meat shield. It worked well.

"Now what?" I said to Katherine, once we were in cover.

"We kill them. We need to stir as much of a commotion amongst the arcane empire."

[demonickilla]

"The name's Theodor, but you can call me Theo." The man sitting in the chair had a long beard connecting to his moustache hanging down. His hair had splashes of white, but mostly a dark brown.

"Can you tell me what in hell is going on here, Theo?" Morlas got up and rubbed his head.

"'Course I can, we've been trapped in here for days, the devil kin keep us in, and we need to get out." Theo got up and scratched his beard.

"We? Who else is in here." Morlas felt his belt for his daggers, yep, they were still there.

"There are two other survivor, a little girl named Laura, and the store manager, Ted." Theo looked out the window that was behind him.

"Where are they?" Morlas looked around for them but could'nt see them.

"They's still asleep, I took guard duty, and saw you lying out there, so I took you in." Theo grinned. "Any more questions?"

"Not really, I'll be leaving now." Morlas walked towards the door.

"Wait! You are going to go out there by yourself?" Theo got out of his chair and took a step towards Morlas.

"Yea? Is there a problem with that, I'm not scared of devil kin." Morlas took another step towards the door.

"Well, can you bring us with you, I don't think we can survive in here long." Theo pleaded.

"Fine, just don't get in my way if there are devil kin." Morlas shrugged.

"Thank you, I'll go wake the others!" Theo ran into another room for a few minutes, and came out with the two people he was talking about.

"So, you think that you can take us out of this town by yourself?" The man who must have been Tim.

"Yeah, why not? now hurry up." Morlas opened the doors and heard a scary screech coming from one of the buildings.

"I'm scared, Theo." The little girl cried.

"Don't worry little one, we'll be out of here soon." Theo soothed her.

"Quite, I don't want any of them to hear us." Morlas hushed to the three. They walked through the dark streets for minutes until they ran into a devil kin. The devil kin was in the middle of the road eatting somthing. Morlas put his finger to his mouth and turned to the three survivors. "Wait here." He whispered.

Morlas sneaked up behind the devil kin and raised his two daggers. The devil kin looked back and Morlas put the two daggers into the devil kins eyes. The devil kin yelled as loud as it could until it died. The scream echoes through the town, and then was answered by more screams.

"Let's get the hell out of here!" Morlas yelled. The ground ran through town looking for the exit. Morlas felt addrenaline come over him. "Guys get onto me!" Morlas crouch down onto his hands and knees as the people sat ontop of his back. Morlas let the adrenaline flow through him and ran like he had four legs. Devil kin were behind him chasing him down. Morlas just kept running until they were far from the town. Morlas let the group off. "I guess this is were we slee-" His sentence was cut short as he fell onto the ground and fell asleep.

[nrocha20]

Hanaki lied back down and curled up, pulling the covers over her head. She took a deep breath too calm her nerves...'That was....strange...' she thought. She closed her eyes and relaxed.

The next thing she knew, the sun was waking her up. It was bright and the sun was facing her window. It was already hot, she could feel it on her skin. She'd been much more tired than she originally believed. She sat up, the blood rushing from her head. She stretched and yawned.

'Time to get to work on that buggy.....'
______________
Martin just finished pulling his outfit together, He's wearing Classic Army boots, Camo Pants, and a plain White T-Shirt. "Its time to get to work!" He said aloud. Martin then knocked on the door between his and Hanakis room. "Hanaki!" He yelled through the wood. "Ill meet you at the junkyard not far from here!"

Martin then ran out the door (Shutting and locking it of course) and sped out the building toward the large pile of junk in plain view. He then leaned against a chainlink fence that surrounded the yard, and waited for Hanaki.
_____________
Hanaki heard Martin, but found herself wanting to roll back into bed. She knew she was going to screw something up. She sighed, resigned, and got up to get dressed.

Ten minutes later, she was dressed in white leather pants and a thin, figure hugging jacket. Her mask was fastened securely on her face and her hands were covered with brown work gloves. She had lace up combat boots on her feet.

She hesitated before walking out the door. She glanced at her bag and decided to retrieve her uzi and strapped it to her waist, covering it with a long cloth that she tied over it. 'Just in case....' she thought. Then she whistled to Buddy and headed to the junkyard. Martin was already waiting for her.

"Okay then, Mr. Fixit.... What do you need me to do?"
__________
"Stand there and look pretty." Martin said, starting to head for the entrance. He then took a good look at the clothing that covered all of her body. "Or... just stand there."

Martin walked up to the Canine that was gaurding the entrence. "Were here to compete." Martin said. The Canine just sighed and handed Martin a pamphlet. "You and your buddy over there just need to sign the pamphlet and hand over the cash."

"Ok." Martin said, signing the paper and passing it to Hanaki, whom also signed it. Martin then fished the gran he put in a pouch last night from his pocket as Hanaki handed the Canine the pamphlet. "Ok." he said. "You can go through."

"That was easy... other then the handing over 1000 dollars part." Martin said to Hanaki, whom had Buddy fallowing her close by. They walked up to a stand that had a large crowd standing in front of it. A White furred Male Feline started talking into a mike. "OK. Now that there are 20 groups we can get this party started. You have 5 hours to build a WORKING buggy. You can add whatever you find in the junk pile. After the build there will be a race. But that will be explained later. There are 20 spots for your buggy construction. Once I yell go you will begin. There are supplies for your construction at the spots, also since there are no working engines in the pile, there are plenty of engine parts at the spots. As well as gas cans. Ready? GO!"

Martin, Hanaki, and Buddy sprinted for the nearest spot. Since Hanaki wasnt a pilot or builder like the rest of the contestants, she made it to the closest spot, where Martin arrived just seconds after. "OK, Hanaki. I need you to go into the pile and gather these key parts." Martin handed Hanaki a notebook of what the parts look like. "Theres a box right there. Ill start building the engine."
_______
"Okay, you're the boss, boss......" Hanaki rolled her eyes and hurried to get the parts that Martin needed. She sifted through the different parts and found most of them. Then she headed back with the arm load and dumped them at Martin's feet.

"I'll go back for the others now."
_______
"Alright." Martin replied, he was completely covered in dirt and grease. It has been 2 hours since Hanaki had headed out to the pile and Martin had just finished the perfect engine, the rest of the Buggy should be a piece of cake. "Thanks, Ill get started on the rest of the Buggy."

After about 3 hours of labor. Martin and Hanaki had finished the vehicle. It was a beautiful 4 wheeled Buggy, with white paint, to many switches to count, no side windows, just the two bars over the two small seats sitting side by side, one with a steering wheal in front of it, the other a refurbished .50 Caliber Machine Gun Redesign, there was also two pairs of goggles to keep the wind from the eyes on the seats, the back of the buggy was of equal size of the front, it was the engine covered up by a special armored box.

Martin woke up Hanaki, who had been sleeping for the past half-hour, after she had found all the necessary parts. "Hanaki? What do you think? Am I Mr. Fix-it or what?!" He stated, unable to control his excitement.

[K.T.O_o]

"Yeah....." Hanaki said staring at the Buggy. It sure had come a long way from the pile of scrap metal it had started out as.

She glance at the sun, that was now casting long shadows against the buildings and sand. "Should we head back for the rooms?" she asked.
________
"Considering that the race is tommorow. Yes. But not before we take it for a test drive." Martin hopped in the drivers seat and slipped his eye goggles on. Hanaki slided into the seat next to him and reached for a seat belt that was not there. Before she could open her mouth, Martin slammed on the brakes and started insanly driving around the settlement. After about 20 minutes of reckless driving and screams and laughter. Martin took his ticket from the local Sarge and parked the buggy in the garage that Vince's friend loaned him.

Once Martin and Hanaki said their thank you's to the kind man, they silently krept back to the hotel, alonf the way Hanaki slapped Martin in the back of the head.
_________
Hanaki walked beside Martin grinning in satisfication while Martin rubbed the back of his head. As they walked through the motel doors, they noticed that it was much more crowded than it had been the previous night. Hanaki figured that they were all participants in the race tomorrow. Made sense that they'd be staying here.

"Yeah, and I heard that there's deaths every year....." she caught a piece of conversation that made her stomach feel queasy. If there really were deaths tomorrow, she sincerely hoped that it wasn't them.

"Hey there hot stuff." an arm suddenly appeared in her face, the palm placed firmly against the wall. "Where you going so early at night?"

Hanaki looked at the stranger with orange fur and tabby like stripes lining his head. By the group of admirers that hounded him, Hanaki guessed he was the favorite for tomorrow.

"I'm going to bed." Hanaki said shortly. She was in no mood for flirting. She pushed passed him and into the hallway. Martin following behind her.
_________
Martin looked back at the orenge Canine, who was apperently fuming. Guess he doesn't get rejected often. Martin faced back toward the stairs, Hanaki had already made it to the second floor. Martin had just placed his foot on the first step when something grabbed him by the tail and dragged him outside. The 'something' threw him against the dumpster where Him and Hanaki had decided to stick together. "Since your little friend refused to play ball. Im gonna take out my frustration on you." Said the Orenge Canine, and his two other Canine lackys.

"That doesn't seem very fair." Martin said, but instead of hearing a retort, he got a powerful kick to the chest, causing him to empty hs lungs. He gasped for breath as the Canine continued kicking him in varius parts of his upper body. When the Canine was finished, Martin said, "God your a piece of shit. Your like a spoiled child, using your Canine ability of strength to release your little temper tantrum on just because you got rejected. Why are you even taking it out on me any-" He was inturupted by a kick to the face. The Canine then picked him up by the ears.

"I hate smart-asses." He said, raising his fist.
__________
Hanaki grabbed the thick wrist of the Canine and twisted. She had followed them when she noticed that Martin had never reached the second story. The Canine howled when she twisted further.

"I hope you have a good reason for picking on my friend...." she hissed menacingly, using every ounce of the part that made her Necro. "If not, I'm afraid things will get nasty." The Canine only glared at her." No?" she said. " Then I hope you enjoy pain."

She twisted until she heard a distinguished 'snap'. Then she twirled and flipped the big guy over her shoulder, slamming him into the wall of the motel. He slumped unconscious. His goonies moved in on her, but she rounded on them and hissed. It was apparent that the henchies were all show and no nerve, because they backed off. Glaring at them, they supported their boss between them and went back inside. Hanaki turned back to Martin.

"They'll be gunning for us tomorrow." she said,apologetically. "You okay?"

[demonickilla]

(Gah, people post!)

Morlas woke, he smelt the stench of death. He opened his eyes and found his self face to face with a devil kin. He screamed punched the D.K. and found that it was already dead. He scratched his head and looked at his hands. Blood completely covered them. "What in the..."

Morlas got up and looked around, the bodies of devil kin were all over the place. "How did this..." He wiped his face found wounds near his mouth, like he was eating somthing .... Sharp. He took out a mirror and found that his face was lined with scratches. He opened his mouth and saw that his teeth was stained with blood.

Morlas studied the closest devil kin body. "It was ... eatten! He studied the wounds on it and concluded that they were bite marks. "Did.... Did I do this?"

Images flashed in his mind of him killing the devil kin savagely and then eating the remains. And then Images of the survivors flashed in his mind. "The survivors! Did ... Did I kill them?

He looked around, but did not see the bodies of the survivors. He lifted the miror again and checked his eyes. "Dark red.... They were'nt like that before.... Before that devil kin bit me."

"But I hav'nt heard of necros being so savage.... I mean, eatting the remains of a devil kin? I could'nt have done that!"

Morlas felt for his mind. It was empty, His mind, it was empty, he felt no emotion, no fear, no regrets. Then he felt a red light in his mind. He ... wanted the light. He ... Needed the light.

Morlas reached for the light but he could'nt reach it. He ran after it but still, it remained out of reach. Morlas felt emotion again and was back in reality.

I must keep moving, Forget this ever happened....

[nrocha20]

(I blame my lack of planning.... and KT... just for the hell of it.)

"Yea..." Martin lied, his ribs were in great pain, and his jaw was misplaced by a quarter of a milimeter. Nothing he couldn't hide from Hanaki though.

With a little help from Hanaki, Martin was able to make it up to his room and lay down. "Can you please leave? I need to take a bath." Hanaki held him down and held up her hand, making it plainly obvious that she was going to heal any bruises or wounds. Martin pushed her hand away. "No. Im fine."

Martin looked into her eyes. There was a hint of disapointment. She was probobly expecting a 'Thank You' for saving his hide, maybe even his life. Martin isn't stupid, he knows why hes not thanking the Necro. Simply because he was angry that she DID save him, he knows its stupid, but he cant bring himself to thank her.
_________
Hanaki got up quietly and left, feeling a little hurt. She hadn't really been expecting any show of gratification, but a simple 'Thank You' would have been nice. Who was she kidding? Nobody would thank a Necro. And really she should be thanking HIM. If he'd decided to just leave her in that dessert she wouldn't be alive right now.

She pushed the hurt she felt to the back of her mind and concentrated on getting ready for bed. Buddy whined softly and nuzzled her hand. Something was spooking him. Or he had just heard what had happened downstairs and wanted to make sure she was alright. Dear lord she hoped it was the second choice.

"I'm fine boy." she mumbled, pulling her hand away and taking off her clothes.

She showered quickly and then, dressed in her night shirt, she crawled into bed. 'Hope Martin will be okay.' she thought.'He looked like he was in a lot of pain.' She shook the thought from her mind and turned off the light.
__________
Martin was sitting in the bathtub feeling sorry for not thanking Hanaki. He decided that he would stop sulking and thinking primorial thoughts, and go to Hanaki, ask her to heal him so he doesn't jeprodize the race tommorow, and thank her properly. He got out of the tub, dried off, and got into his sweat pants. He stood next to his bead, almost afraid to open the door. Just as he finally aquired enough courage, he fealt something snap. The Canine did more damage to Martin then he origionally thought, one of his ribs were breaking in two! Martin ran as fast as the pain would let him through the linking door between his room and Hanaki's. The pain wouldn't let him get a word off, bet Martin was able to collapse on Hanaki's feet on her bed, hopefully waking her up.
________
Hanaki sat bolt upright, reaching for the knife under her pillow. She relaxed when she realized it was Martin, but rushed to his side when she saw his face contorted with pain.

"Martin......" she trailed off. She could feel through her palms where the hurt was the worst. She quickly healed the area on his chest and relaxed when he began to breathe easier.
_________
Martin looked around. He was standung on a giant grandfather clock, with little pillows and shark teath flying arolund him, singing the emo song. 'What the fuck is going?!' He stood there with an confused look. "Oh, its just a dream." He said to himself. Just as he said it however, he woke up.

Martin sat up, finding himself back on his bed. After a few moments, he realized that Hanaki had healed him. The sky was completely black, with little white specs. Martin stood up, still in his sweat pants, and walked slowely and quietly into Hanakis room. Buddy woke up and started growling, but then realized it was Martin and went back to sleap. Martin walked over to Hanaki, who was asleap, and shook he a little to wake her up. She opened her eyes and swiftly brought a knife up to his throat, but realized it was him and put it back down. Before she could say anything Martin hugged her and whispered "Thank you". He swiftly left the room once he let go.
__________
Hanaki sat there, staring at the combining door. She didn't know what to do, or say, so she curled back up and felt her face turn hot. She pulled the blankets over her head and closed her eyes, smiling at the thought that she had a friend.
________
Martin sat down on his bed, the events of the day slowely processing though his mind. 'I. Am. A. Dunce. A completely idiotic dunce. Not only did I just do something you'd only see in one of those Soap Operas being sold by some old DVD merchants, but I also got my ass handed to me. Even though I could have easily reached for the gun that was in my back pocket.... sigh, whatever.'

Martin laid his head down on a pillow, and closed his eyes to fall asleap. 'I could die tommorow anyway... I wonder if Hanaki is as worried as I am... oh well.'

[K.T.O_o]

Hanaki was standing on a pillar in the middle of a molten rock river. The heat coming from the lava was making her sweat and for some reason she felt excruciating pain in her left arm and leg. She had the distinct impression that she had fallen from a great height and it was all she could do to keep from collapsing. Martin was no where to be seen. On the other side of the river was a thick screen of deep grey smoke. In the smoke a dark shape moved.

'Martin!' Hanaki cried, her voice bouncing and echoing off the walls of what was apparently a long shaft. The dark shape moved again.

Hanaki's heart froze in fear when an all too familiar figure stepped into view.

'There's no where for you to run.' Keimos's smile was triumphant.

"NO!!!" Hanaki cried, sitting bolt upright in bed. It took her a few moments to realize where she was. She breathed deeply and tried to stop shaking. It was still dark outside, so it wasn't time for the race anytime soon. Still, she got up and dressed before leaving her room, closing the door quietly so as not to disturb Martin.

'I need some air.' she thought heading downstairs and outside.

*********

Martin was swishing guzzling down a light bear out in front of the Inn. He couldn't sleap, too worried. He jumped when he heard the door open behind him. "Oh... Hanaki... its just you. I can't seam to sleap. How are you holdin' up?" Martin got a better look at Hanaki, she had her mask on, so he couldn't see her face. Not like he could in this darkness anyway.

"I'll assume 'Not good.' since your still up at this time." Martin grabbed a second Bud Light from his pocket and handed it to Hanaki.

(PS No one cares if you drink at a young age. Its the apacolypse remember?)

*********

Hanaki took it gratefully. She needed something to take her mind off the nightmare. A slight buzz should do the trick.

"What are you doing up?" she asked, "Thinking about tomorrow?"

*********

"Ya, well that, and some other stuff. Really its nothing, just... can't seem to sleap." Martin looked at Hanaki, but couldn't really see her pull her mask slightly up to drink the beer.

"Are you alright? You seem a tad shakey, trust me, I know what shakey looks like, I used to drive for Cheyanne Gunners."

*********

Hanaki sat on the ground heavily. "Nothing's wrong, really. Just a nightmare. My nerves are on edge and when that happens I usually end up with a nightmare." She felt stupid, explaining something like this. She sounded just like a little kid. "I came out here for some fresh air."

She hid the fact that she was surprised. How could he tell she was shakey? In the dark no less..... Her thoughts flashed quickly on the dream and she grabbed her own wrist to keep the beer from falling to the ground. Her hands shook uncontrollably, but almost imperceptibly. She had to assure herself that she was safe. For the moment at least.

'Keimos won't find you......' she told herself.' Not yet.'

*********

Martin heard the beer splash on the dusty rock that they were standing on, and he neiled down and put his hand on her shoulder... again. "Its all right. Everything will be fine. Tommorow we'll win the race, get 10 gran, and make our way to a safer location. It will be allright... we just need to watch each others backs."

"You got that right." A voice said from behind them, Martin and Hanaki turned around to see the Canine from before, with at least five of his lackys. "You and your boyfriend are dead girl." The obviously enraged Canine said, waving a finger. "No one EVER messes with me. EVER." He and his posse then turned around and headed back inside the Inn. Martin set his beer down and put his hand on his ribs, almost feeling doubt.

*********

Hanaki watched as the Canine and his goons walked off. She felt annoyance, regret that she hadn't given him brain damage or something, and fierce satisfication as she noticed his left wrist in a splint.

"I'm gonna shoot him first tomorrow." she said through gritted teeth. "RIGHT between the eyes!!"

Then she glanced at Martin quickly, remembering something the Canine had said. She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at him, "FYI! He NOT my boyfriend!!" Making many heads turn and people shout in disapproval, since many of them were trying to sleep.

*********

"heheh...Im startin' to get tired..." Martin said, laying down on his back and knocking his beer over. "Sigh... Hanaki do you.... ah... never mind. We should get some sleap, do you want me to stay with you till your out?"

He stood up and offered his hand to Hanaki.

[nrocha20]

(Dont make me bring my plasma sword out now children...... god that sounded wrong)

Hanaki took the hand and stood up. "Thanks," she said, with a smile "But it was only a nightmare. I ain't a kid."

She followed him inside and back upstairs. In the room, Buddy was still snoring soundly. "See you for the big race tomorrow." She closed the door, pulled off her mask, and climbed into bed fully dressed.
_______
Martin walked walked through the middle door, and collapsed on his bed. He chuckled for a second, thinking of how he almost asked Hanaki such a stupid and ackward question... ah well. Martin pulled of his sirt, shoes, and socks (he was still wearing his sweats) and got into a comfortable sleaping position. After about 10 minutes he was sound asleap.
________
Hanaki was still having trouble sleeping. She was tossing and turning in all imaginable ways, but sleep wouldn't come.

'Stress.' she thought. 'I have too much damn stress.'

She got up again and walked across the slightly creaky floor. The window was closed and the room was noticeably stuffy, so she opened it to let the cool desert air in. During the day, this place was like an over-sized oven, but at night it could be freezing.

As she opened it, she heard voices. Looking down, she saw the canine and his goonies huddled in a circle and whispering in hushed tones. The useless wrist hung at the canine's left side.

"We'll just mess with their buggy a little......." he was saying. "The guard won't be a problem. He owes me a lot of money."

"What if they find out...." another whispered.

"Oh, they'll find out......when it's too late."

Hanaki was pissed. These guys had no qualms about cheating and it was obvious who the 'they' were. She lifted the potted cactus on the dresser by the window and held it out the window.

'Mess with this, jackass.' she thought with a smile on her face, and dropped the cactus.

Bullseye!!! A sharp howl filled the night sky, followed by a 'Boss!!!' Feeling loads better, Hanaki crept back into bed and fell asleep immediately.
_______
Martin slowely opened his eyes as the natural light filled up his room. Once awake, he got up, got dressed, and walked into Hanaki's room (he remembered that she got in bed dressed). Martin sat next to Hanaki, soundly sleaping. He then smiled mischiviously and put his face about one inch from Hanaki's, and as she began to open her eyes, he yelled "BOO!".

Amazingly enough it worked, Hanaki yelped and fell out of bed. Buddy woke up and started growling, but after he realized what was going on he put his head back down. Martin was already on his back, laughing up a storm.
________
Hanaki scowled at Martin and got up from the floor. She reached for him, picked him up by the scruff of his neck with the strength that obviously screamed 'Necro!', and tossed him out the door.

"Scare me, will you!" she yelled and slammed the door.(Note: Hanaki is SERIOUSLY pissed. After all, she does have a crazy Necro on her trail and had a freaky dream the night before. She's feeling a little wound up.)

After washing her face, she felt a little bad about screaming at Martin. After all, she was going to have to work with him in the race and he hadn't meant any harm by scaring her.

'I'll apologize....' she thought after calming down a little. 'And let him know that I REALLY don't appreciate being scared shitless like that.' When she opened the door, he was already gone. 'Guess I'll meet him at the track......' her stomach growled. 'After breakfast.'

She pulled on her mask and headed downstairs, Buddy trailing behind her.
_________
Martin was sitting at a table at the end of the dining area when he saw Hanaki come down. He waved to her to come over. Once she reached the table Martin handed her a tray with breakfast on it. "Consider it an apology." Martin said, Hanaki sat across from him.
__________
"No. I'm the one who should apologize." Hanaki said, with a sigh. "I over reacted."

Just then, the canine walked out from the hall way with bandages on his head, saying," Yeah, there five or six of 'em." He threw his hands in the air. " Probably some group of twits trying to take me outta the competition. I fended them off with my fists and they all ran with their tails between their legs!!!" He punched the air. "Of, course, one got a cheap shot in."

Martin's eyebrows were drawn in a frown. "If he's really that strong," he said slowly." We'll have to watch out for him."

Hanaki stifled a giggle.
_______
Martin didn't respond. He just continued listening. "Well Bruce." The head chef said, who was standing to the left of the Canine (Bruce), said, "If thats true, you deserve a free breakfast." Bruce just smiled at the praise.

He grabbed his free and quality food and sat at a table far from Hanaki and Martin. "Well... we've got three hours till the race. What do you want to do?" Martin said, handing Hanaki his glass of milk, gesturing that he didn't want it.

[demonickilla]

(I've got two things to say, I think it's about time we cut the inactive members of this RPG, And maybe take in a few more active members. Just my opinion. Also, I'd like to meet up with anyone in the RPG, I think now is a good time, Just PM me if you wanna join up :thumbsup:)

[rainor]

(Well it's not that i don't like this RP but i have no idea of what to write)

[K.T.O_o]

Martin didn't respond. He just continued listening. "Well Bruce." The head chef said, who was standing to the left of the Canine (Bruce), said, "If thats true, you deserve a free breakfast." Bruce just smiled at the praise.

He grabbed his free and quality food and sat at a table far from Hanaki and Martin. "Well... we've got three hours till the race. What do you want to do?" Martin said, handing Hanaki his glass of milk, gesturing that he didn't want it.


*******

"First of all," Hanaki replied, grabbing her food. "Go eat this somewhere, where I can actually eat."

Martin gave her a weird look, "Why can't you eat here?" Hanaki raised her eyebrows although Martin couldn't see. She gestured at the mask. "Oh, right."

Hanaki and Martin made their way out of the dining hall and into the hallway. On the way out, they passed Bruce's table and he shot Hanaki a dirty look. Se stifled another laugh, and waved at him cheerily. "Bye-bye macho man." she said, laughing on the way out.


*******

Hanaki and Martin went back up to Hanaki's room where she gave Buddy some of the food she didn't want, and she took off her mask to begin eating. Martin sat down next to her on the bed and waited a few minutes before asking, "And second of all?".


*******

Hanaki thought for a second. "It may be a good idea to check the buggy for any tampering."

"The guard was there last night. Nobody touched it." he said.

'Not from what I heard last night.' she though sardonically. "It still may be a good idea." she stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth. "I also want to do some wandering. We're gonna need supplies for when we leave, and we may as well find them now."

'If we leave.' she added silently to herself.


*******

"Alright, off I go to check out the buggy. You go ahead and wander, lets meet back at the alley we first arrived at." And with that Martin got up and ran out of the room, down the stairs, and out of the inn. He sped toward the yard, to come upon the buggy. Not to many damages, just the gun was missing and a few bolts and wires were busted. Nothing he couldn't fix.

Martin sighed as he walked over to the junkyard, 'Note to self: Never trust security guards.'


*******

Hanaki walked along the crowded street of race competitors and supporters. Many people stared at her strangely, but she was used to it. Quite a few stores lined the walkways and many of them weapon supply shops. She patted the hidden gun at her hip.

'Might as well get some more ammo for my uzi.' she thought walking into the store with the small bag of coins in her hand.

A few minutes later, she walked out with a box full of bullets and a scope that the dealer had somehow added to her list. 'How'd I get talked into this?' she asked herself.

Next thing she knew, a thick hand slid under her mask and clamped itself over her mouth. It pulled her into an empty alley and then something hit the back of her head. She lost consciousness.


*******

Martin was happy, the buggy was fixed (minus the gun), Hanaki was OK, and he hadn't recieved any trouble from anyone yet. Of course, knowing his luck that would be short lived. He walked out of the yard and to the alley. Once he reached it, he looked around for Hanaki, not expecting to find her yet. So he sat down on a box and waited. But suddenly someone ambushed him and rifle butted him on the head. He was out like a like.

Martin woke up in a dark room, not to dark to see, but dark. He looked around and spotted a mask-less Hanaki tied to a chair in front of him.

*******

Hanaki's head was pounding. Especially an area in the middle of the back of her skull. She was groggy and her eyes were having trouble focusing.

'Where the hell am I?' she asked herself. Trying to move, she found that she couldn't. Realizing that she was tied to a chair, she sighed. Once she had her senses back together, the rope would be no problem.

"Oh, it seems like the kitty kat is awake." a clod voice said from somewhere in the dark.

"Who are you!? Hanaki hissed. " Working for that cheating bastard canine?! Have him come and face me!"

The voice snickered. "Me? Work for a stupid log like Bruce?! Preposterous!!"

"Then who are you?"

*******

"HEY!" Martin yelled, "HANAKI! HANAKIIII!!"

It was futile. She couldn't here him, obviously something was keeping the noise from reaching her, she obviously couldn't see him either. "Sigh.... hm?" Martin heard something, "Who's there!? Show yourself you weak coward!"

[demonickilla]

Morlas walked through the desert, his inside felt like they were rotting. "Gah, I if I had'nt eatten since yesterday, I would be hungry by now, Even more proof that I eat those corpses..." Morlas gagged.

Morlas heard a gun shot and spun around. He saw three men in army suits fighting a heard of devil kin. Morlas looked at the men, then at the devil kin. He ran towards the fight but before he got in range to see clearer, Louder gun shots roared over the pistol shots, and groans of the devil kin. Morlas blinked and next thing he knew the devil kin were all on the ground.

He walked towards the group of men and they stared at him. They looked at his eyes. "Necro! Kill him!" One of the men shouted. Morlas's eyes widened, as the men raised their guns. Morlas swirled around as he ducked, He felt his daggers come up through his sleeves, and he grabbed them before they flew out. He held onto them while he spun and extended his arms, causing the daggers to rip through the mens leggs.

The men stumbled to the ground while they screamed. Morlas heard a loud gun shot and a shot flew by his head. Morlas looked into the direction of the shot and saw a man sitting on the cliff with a sniper to his face. Morlas's eyes widened once again. Another shot rang through the empty desert, and he felt pain surge through his shoulder. He fell backwards, but the pain did not feel as bad as it should. Morlas picked himself up and looked towards the sniper. He gritted his teeth as he closed his eyes. Morlas's thoughts got destoryed, and he felt the dark red light again. This time Morlas could reach for it. He felt the light surge though his arm as he flung it into the light.

Morlas's mind came back as he felt the light glow inside of him. He pointed his arms at the sniper and clenched them tight. The sniper stood up emditatly his body looked like it was being clenched as well. He brought his arms up to his face, and a red light surged from the sniper. The light connected with Morlas's mouth as he drank in the light. The light kept flowing until no more would come out. Morlas let go of the man, and he fell to the ground. He was dead. Morlas felt the power inside of him.

"This is, Interesting." The light was not finished though. He felt the light shape into somthing. It looked like, a hood? A hood appeared on Morlas's face.

He took it off and looked at it. It was a hood that just hid his entire face. It was just a pitch black hood, when he put it on he could see through it. Morlas gasped. "It's like i'm the grim reaper..." He took it off and looked at it again. "Well it will hide my eyes I guess..."
