"Well.. Art, What are the DCO doing actually? What is their bussiness? They sounds like some really unpleasent guys."
Art: Dimensional Containment Officers do their best to keep interdimensional breaches under control. At least, that's the idea I got when I did that job. They might be after any of you, if they've heard of you." Blaze harrumphed. "Oh? But I suppose you and Dave are safe, being fully human." Art shook his head. "Dave isn't. He's from another dimension, after all. He may not appear different, but he is different." By now they had nearly covered half the distance. Dave was aware that Kix was trying to get his attention, but he still had to respond to this voice. He knew now he was definately not making it up himself. What do you know about Fisher? Who's after me? What do you even want from me? |
Daniel sighed, I know little of Fisher. Let it suffice to say he is in an alliance with my master Slade. I want nothing from you, it's my superiors who are after you. And what they want is anybody's guess, though my guess would be power. Do you have any idea how powerful the desire for power can be? And considering, to my knowledge, you are from another world that has some degree of power over this one, it's not hard to figure what they want from you.
He looked back over the city again. This had better not take too much longer, he thought, Slade would wonder if he was late arriving... <•-•-•-•-•> Olivia was following behind the group at a distance, so they couldn't see, though she knew the eagle flying overhead could probably see her if he tried too. That didn't bother her, however, as she was confident she could deal with it if she had to. And if she was too far away it would be difficult to carry out her orders... |

OOC:
I don't know about you guys, but I think we should try to continue for as long as we can until Havoc is able to return. As he said himself, :
|
ooc: Well, looking for Charger doesn't actually include finding him :p. If we need to get a few random characters for the DCO, no harm in that.
Only other significant problem i see is Kaira, but she can just tag along in silence or something, or stay at the car. Whatever. Right now I'd say Gretin, Dave, finish the conversation between Dave and Daniel so we can say 'half an hour passes, panic ensues' |
OOC: I agree with Gretin. You can make the bunch run into a bit of trouble on their way or something. No reason the RP should come to a hold just because I'm not here.

Oh. Hm. Sorry. I personally thought it would be kind of awkard to just blow through and continue, considering circumstances. But, uh, if everyone's saying "let' go," then let's go.
Dave flinched at the news that Fisher had a partner. And Slade? Wasn't that the name of the villain on that cartoon? He couln't remember if he'd read about someone named Slade... And he wasn't sure what they thought ... what power could they get from him? Or maybe they were gonna give him some strange power ... And the strength of the desire for power? Dave had never really cared to be really powerful. Sure, he's had the occassional want for something like flight or control of time ... but those were surely only dreams. And sure, he had control over certain aspects of this world. But not all. He wasn't sure he could change things while he was here That's not true, said a voice. His train of thought was cut off abruptly. Was that Daniel? No. No, that was you, Dave. You know that you've been doing shit. Remember the Frosted Flakes? And how did you get Art's guns? I'm starting to think I really do have some supernatural powers. And on the heels of that: Great, I get a superpower, and all I can do with it is move shit around. I can't even change the flow of time. So he realized: Slade was, quite clearly, a bad guy in this story. And they would want Dave for their own nefarious purposes. The joke would be on them in the end, Dave decided. While he may be a god of sorts - he knew deep down that he wasn't truly a god, but the similarities were too close to be ignored - he wasn't the sole dictator. So unless they found a way to bring the other writers here, Slade and his crew would never fully reach their goal. He realized that nearly ten minutes had passed since he last contacted Daniel. What he said to Daniel was: Noted. I'll consider it. And he did consider it briefly, but shortly thereafter decided that if they wanted him, they'd have to come find him. |
Daniel stood waiting for a short while, then when Dave answered he responded, Be on your guard. You have strong friends, if you don't want to be taken I'd suggest you keep close to them. And one other thing... Don't trust Olivia. Now, I must go - next time we meet you must treat me as an enemy.
He turned away from the direction Dave and the group were and shot up into the air in fireball form again, this time flying for the ruins of Los Santos. |
OOC: Alrighty, lets get back to bussiness.
--- Charger still hung on the wall, his arms growing a bit numb as they were in the cuffs above his body. He pondered about what was going to happen. Escaping was out of the question, he was dead no matter what was going to happen. What he was worried about was Kaira. He always tried his best to keep her out of his affairs, he didn't want to put her in danger. But this Jack guy, he knew everything about them. And he wondered how he knew all that. All he could do now was pray and hope Kaira would be alright, brought to a zoo would be the best scenario compared to what could happen to her. He didn't even want to think about that. --- Meanwhile Jack had boarded his chopper and was making way to Golden Valley. If Fisher and the rest of Charger's gang were realy there, he'd hit the jackpot. He'd be in for a promotion and he could finaly get away from that stupid Community project which he had been working with for five years now. The chopper followed the road which led from The Community directly to Golden Valley. None of them were aware that this road had only just been created, it was just there. Always had been as far as they knew. As the chopper followed the road, a car was driving in the other direction, heading for The Community. Kaira was sitting with her muzzle still trough the back window and looking trough the front window out onto the road ahead. She hoped Charger was okay, and she hoped she would get there in time to help him out of needed. Suddenly she heard a loud noise above them. A chopper, which went by fast. She pulled her head from the little window and looked back to it, making out two letter on the tail of the machine before it was to far away to read. 'D I,' she mumbled, then poked back trough the window. 'Guys, I think a chopper of that DCO thing just flew over.' --- Meanwhile in the chopper, Jack had also noted the car, and something strange was in the back of it. But with the speed they passed each other, couldn't make it out. He signaled the pilot to fly back a bit, then grabbed his binoculars and looked down the road untill he had a fix on the car. 'Kaira...' he said with a smirk on his face. 'Gotcha. Turn around! Follow that car, then block it's path!' The pilot followed Jack's orders, and quickely made a 180 turn that almost made Jack throw up, then hurried back to the car. --- 'It's coming back...' Kaira said worried as she was looking out into the sky again. |
Art heard the chopper coming around. "Godammit," he muttered. "Everyone be cool." He pushed the accelerator further down, urging the car to move faster and faster. Even when it was at top speed, he still pressed forward, willing the car to move faster.
Blaze turned in his seat to look out at the chopper. "How do they know it's us?" Dave moaned. He had never wanted anything like this. "What are we going to do?" Art snorted. "Outmaneuver the chopper, naturally. It probably isn't armed - or at least I'm hoping it isn't. So it's likely going to try and block the road. So we keep going. Worse comes to worse, Dave-o and Streak can muster up some firepower." Streak: "What if I write a problem into the chopper? Like an empty fuel tank, or faulty gears?" Dave: "Or, what if the folks in the chopper are the only people who know how we can get Charger? If we crash their helicopter, it might wreck our only chane at finding Charger." Art: "So what? We stop and let them land? What if they're armed? We've got one working gun among the four of us that can hold guns." Dave: "Like you said. Streak can whip up some weapons if we need them. If she doesn't mind." Streak sighed. "As if I have a choice just now. I guess I can do it if need to." |
Kix thought for a while.
"Hey... Maybe we could let ourselves get caught or something." She said, "Me and krisha have power which can manipulate locks and stuff, also we have the general battlemagic. I don't think it would be too difficult to get away from them. They probably don't know we have power..." "Hmm... But what if they do have something against supernatural powers?" Krisha asked. "Well I don't know... What if me and Krisha surrendered or something, slowing them down, then you guys could catch up or something?" Kix asked. OOC: Dave.,.. Do something about Akky... I'd have to poweplay to get him to the community <.< |
If anyone had noticed the fact that Pseok had disappeared they didn't note it.
Well, disappeared would perhaps not be the right term cus, you know, that'd involve being invisible or vanishing in thin air or something. Actually it wasn't that interesting. He'd got hungry so he'd stopped for a bit to find something to eat. It wasn't like this road was going anywhere, right? And he could easily catch back up with the car when situation called for it. Well, he'd eaten and he had.... almost caught up with the car. In fact he'd arrived just in time to see one of those helicopter things swooping over them like an oversized pigeon. Or seagull. Pseok considered for a few seconds. Definately more like a seagull. But the way the thing was dodging around almost move for move with the car gave him the general opinion that this was nothing good. Narrowly resisting his initial reaction to throw himself blindly at the machine, he decided it might be a little wiser to follow behind for a little while first. |
OOC: It's come to my attention (or rather, I've had worries and they have been confirmed) that some of my characters are getting to be too powerful. This will be remedied soon.
--- Fisher stood from his seat in Slade's office, made a perfunctory farewell, and returned to the spot by the lake. Everyone had gone. Well, except that cat Akky. Fisher sighed. He could lend Akky a hand. He was at least trying to help. "Hey! Cat! Do you, perchance, know where everyone has disappeared to?" --- Streak was thinking to herself. It seemed to her that her only use was fixing problems. And what's worse was she had to use her powers to do it. She hated being forced to do it. But ... it was one thing if there was no alternative. And was there no alternative in this case? She doubted it. There had to be a way other than brute force. The way she saw it, these DCO folks would only be after people like her and Blaze. Maybe Kix and Krisha, too. If they wanted to, they could try and pass off Kaira and the cats as normal animals ... though a tigress in the back of a car could be hard to explain. Art: "I'm willing to bet that they aren't as interested in you two cats as they are interested Streak or Blaze." Streak nodded: "Look, I'm impressed that you'd offer to turn yourselves in to buy us more time, but if I turned myself in, it might mean no more trouble for you guys." Art coughed. "That's not exactly what I was saying ...." Streak: "Never you mind. I've decided. I'm going." Blaze: "Uh ... have you forgotten that Charger is still in there? If you disappear on us, how can we hope to get him out?" Streak: "How can you all keep counting on me to get you out of a jam? That's not the way things are. I don't like having to patch up our troubles. I'm grateful to you for getting me out of Fisher's hands, but that doesn't mean you can use my powers like your own personal toys. Like, camping equipment was one thing, but guns and weapons are another. There has to be another way. And I say that if I turn myself in, I'll probably be able to get him out myself." Blaze: "No, you won't, because you'll be in the same boat as Charger is." Art: "No, Blaze, I think I see what Streak is saying. These guys more than likely have a full profile on all of us. Except the kid, I guess. The point is, they likely know what Streak can do, and will probably try and use her to their advantage. And when they hand her the paper and pen ..." Streak: "I can get us out and away." Dave: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say earlier that you couldn't do that?" Streak: "I did, but the situation has changed. Then, there were alternatives. Now, there aren't." Blaze: "Then why not just do it now?" Art pointed out the front window, where the helicopter was circling around to face them. It began to land. Art stopped the car. Art: "Because the helicopter is landing, and if they get suspicious, we're probably in huge trouble." Streak nodded. "Okay, guys, this is it." Streak climbed out of the car and stood in wind kicked up from the spinning helicopter blades, raising her hands. |
Olivia's focus shifted instantly to the helicopter as it came flying above the road. She concentrated for a moment.... Dimensional Containment Officers...
She looked back down the road to the car she was following, and it wouldn't have taken a rocket scientist to work out what was going on. She pulled off the road, stopped her car, and stepped out. She looked around, then noticed Pseok flying overhead in the same direction as the chopper. She hadn't noticed him become seperated from the group... She was nearly ready to report back to Slade, but she was curious to see what would happen up ahead. So, striding out smoothly, she moved off on foot towards them. <•-•-•-•-•> Daniel flew along in fireball form over the submerged remains of Los Santos. He calculated the location of Slade's protected offices, and sharply changed direction, flying straight down into the water. His flames died out instantly, and he swam swiftly to the door, pulled it open, and went in, the water staying outside the door as if there was some sort of invisible barrier stopping it. Closing the door carefully, he walked down the hallway to an elevator at the other end. He pushed the button to open the door, walked in, and, as if by the elevator's own accord, the doors shut and it started moving upwards. |
'I don't know, Streak,' Kaira mumbled, but then kep silent as she didn't have any better idea anyway.
Meanwhile the chopper had landed, the car had stopped, and Jack was making way to the car with a gun pointed at the driver - which even though it was a long time ago, he thought to reconize as Arthur D'Angelo. 'Arthur!' he yelled over. 'Long time no see! Tell your friends to get out of the car, and noone will get hurt!' Kaira didn't think or wait for any respons and leaped out of the back of the car, then sat down and flattened her ears. She waited untill something happened. |
Krisha sneered angrily...
She poked Kix and whispered: "Do you think i cant blow up his gun?" Kix shrugged. "I don't know.... But I don't think we should do anything just yet." Kix said, And then she stepped out of the car, looking at Jack, examining him, and the helicopter. ---- Akky looked up at Fisher. He was reliefed he hadn't been left alone. He approached him and then considered. "I don't know where they have gone, all I know is that they are so damn obsessed with saving that Charger-guy from somewhere." he said. He hated the word "Charger". Why did Kix like him more then Akky? He grunted and then looked up at Fisher again. |
Seeing the guy pulling out his gun was enough of a sign to Pseok that whis was nothing good.
Flying high overhead, he moved past the helicopter before swinging around and diving down, stretching out his claws and aiming to hit the guy with the gun in the back. |
Jack hadn't noticed the bird. Well, he had noticed it, but since his inteligence was cut off when the gang left for Los Santos, he didn't know Psoek was with them and thus didn't pay much attention to him.
But when Psoek came diving back, Jack could only barely duck out of the way. He raised his gun to take a shot at the bird, but decided not to, as he only carried one clip with him at the moment. Kaira watched intensely, hoping noone would get hurt. |
Art ignored the greeting.
Streak slowly got out of the car and stood facing Jack. She didn't step any closer. She, like the others, was nervous about Pseok's attack. They didn't want him getting shot. Blaze looked out his window at Streak and whispered. "Are you sure about this?" Streak didn't respond. Instead, she spoke to Jack. "I'll go with you. I'm the only one you want." Blaze, fighting his better judgement, got out of the car and stood with Streak. "Me too." Dave: "You guys, you don't have to do this." Art hushed him. "Let the grown-ups handle this, kiddo." Dave, pissed at being singled out as a child again, ironically reacted like a child - he put a sour look on his face and crossed his arms, and decided not to speak to anyone. Maybe he would see what that Slade guy wanted, after all, if given the chance. Streak didn't argue with Blaze. She raised her hands and began to walk slowly towards the chopper. |
Kix got irritated by this guy. The whole situation just bugged her.
"Where's Charger! Is he alright?" she asked Jack unpatiently. "He probably isn't..." Krisha sighed. Kix kept examining the guy. It didn't seems as if he had any protection against any spells. But she hesitated for a bit more. This guy could show them the way to Charger. |
Jack stood amazed for a moment, it was clearly readable in his eyes.
'Well, I never expected to see this... One of Charger's siblings arn't you?' he kept looking at Streak as if he just found a long lost treasure. Which, in a way, he had. 'No doubt...' Then he looked at the two cats for a moment, but gave them no further attention. They wern't important. He was aware of the cat's ability to use some sort of magic. And he knew about Kix's history. And he also knew that at least Kix didn't form a thread to him. He just kept focused on Streak, but then also noticed Blaze. Even though Blaze wasn't as outstanding feline as Streak, it was still enough to notice. 'And another one, looks like I might even get that promotion some other way...' He motioned his gun to the chopper. 'Get in, and don't try nothing funny. I still have your brother, remember that.' Kaira was doubting wether or not she would come along. Charger would kill her if she did though... and she probably couldn't do much in any case. So she just stayed put, untill Jack called over. 'Kaira, you too.' Kaira decided to play dumb, she was just a tiger. A normal everyday tiger that couldn't talk. 'Kaira, I'm not going to tell you again,' Jack warned. |
And as Kix and krisha werent important at all not even important enough to get a small answer from Jack, not even a "shut up weaklings", because two cats with talking ability and magical powers are just too normal for everyday life... They ran away and vanished and were lost forever and nobody ever cared...
The End. |
OOC: To clear that up, T-nex is withdrawing from TCS RP. Shame to see you go T-nex! You were a good asset to the RP :(.
|
T-nex, I miss you! If you hadn't been here I never would have been able to introduce Pseok! *Goes off to cry somewhere*
Pseok had noticed the guy waving his gun at him, and decided that another attack might not be such a good idea. When the tiger-people headed towards the helicopter his other plan of attacking it didn't seem so good either. He did the best he could and resumed circling above it, keeping his eyes open for any chance to do something... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Elfair arrived in the ruined part of the village and began searching through the wreckage. She was shocked when she suddenly found herself face to face with another person crawling from the remains of a building. the man looked at her with empty eyes, not registering her difference, and ran on, taking a bag of what she assumed he'd stolen with him. She contained herself and let him go, scolding herself for her carelessness. Continuing her search, she managed to find some clothes she could wear, and even a pair of banoculars: a discovery she was rather proud of. Taking her spoils with her, she returned to the mountains, crept along till she was above the building where Charger was being held and settled down to watch what followed. |
OOC: Where is Davey? :p
|
OOC: I didn't eat him... :dodgy:
But someone ate all my internet for about 5 days, hence why I've been offline for so long. Shame to see you go T-nex, but I guess if you want to go... I'd better unlock the padlocks and everything I put on the door and disarm those booby traps... I mean... See ya around... Maybe. :p And now Daniel's gonna be disappointed he won't be able to look forward to the challenge of fighting against those two cats again... Anyway, I'd better get on to business... IC: Daniel travelled upwards in the elevator to the top floor, then stepped out into a small hallway. He walked smartly to the end, where the door opened for him and he stepped into Slade's office. He sat down where Fisher had been sitting not much earlier and addressed Slade, "Where's Spark?" Slade looked up, "She is not yet ready. She will come when she is." Daniel didn't answer... <•-•-•-•-•> Olivia watched what was happening at the helicopter from a distance. She noted that almost everyone was being made to get into the helicopter, but it looked like Dave was not. This could be the perfect moment! She decided to wait and watch; if it did turn out like that, she couldn't afford to go back to Slade; he would have to come here immediately. |
Ah, jeez, T ... *sigh* ... I'm no good at trying to talk people out of things ... so I will only say "Dammit, it sucks to see you go."
... oh, and sorry for my absence. I've been spending increasing amounts of time doing ... other stuff. I dunno. Blah. Sadly, I must assume this means Akky is disappearing, too ... I don't like doing it, but ... --- Fisher considered the situation. He was suddenly realizing what he had partnered with. This little cat ... he worked as a spy, no doubt, but was, to him at least, of little other value. "Akky, I will no longer require your services. You've told me what I need to know. I wish you luck in the future." And with this, he left Akky to his own devices to pursue the boy, David. --- Streak bowed her head in submission and began a slow walk towards the chopper, silently willing the man in the suit to give up on Kaira. She didn't dare say anything to him to try and convince him that Kaira was a normal tiger. Blaze, also, began a slow walk to the chopper. He only hoped that Streak had a plan. Art sat in the car, not quite daring to just drive off. Part of him wanted to see what would happen to Blaze and Streak, and also whether or not Kaira would be taken. It wasn't that he didn't like Kaira - to Art, she was the most level-headed among the group - but if trying to keep her safe would mean more attacks from these DCO guys, Art didn't know if he would be up for it. They could get really rough if they wanted to, he knew. He was really just hoping he could go back to the way things were before, maybe find a new town across the country, start hunting again. Maybe. Dave still wasn't talking to anyone. Out loud, anyway. He thought out to Daniel ... Hey, just a heads up, I think I'd like to talk to your boss man. Hear him out, at least. Then, to himself, It'll probably be less of a hassle than dealing with Artie. |
Kaira watched in fear as Blaze and Streak made way to the chopper. She wanted to speak up and tell them they should stay put because Charger wouldn't be happy with them being captured. But then again, they didn't have much choice and Kaira couldn't speak up in any case.
But right then, Jack aimed the gun and fired a shot. The bullet hit the ground between Kaira's front paws, but it bounced off the concrete right into her right frontleg. She let out a loud roar as she jumped off from the pain and then limped on one front paw as she had the other lifted in the air, a small tear running over her face from the pain that shot trough her leg. The wound began to bleed, heavily. 'You can come with me right now,' Jack then stated, surprised at the luck of his shot. 'I'l get that wound fixed and you'll live. Or you can take your chances of going back to Golden Valley and try to find someone who will help you there.' He pulled a smirk. 'Low chance, wouldn't you say?' Kaira and Jack stared right at each other. And Kaira could see in Jack's eyes that he somehow knew she could talk. He was expecting an answer. 'I'l take my chances...' she mumbled, staring at him with a dangrous look. Jack was meanwhile busy pushing Streak and Blaze in the chopper and assigned the pilot to make sure they were tied up in an orderly fashion. Then he turned back to Kaira. 'Well then let me make it easy for you,' he said, then took aim at the car and released a shot that penetrated the hood and the engine. 'Now unless you want to walk all the way back, I suggest you get in the chopper right now! I don't have all day. The next bullet I'l fire will go straight into that bounty hunter's head!' Kaira took a look at Art, then back at Jack. She wouldn't misjudge him and assume he wouldn't do it. She knew he would. So with a dull look on her face, she nodded at Art. 'I'm sorry,' she said and started to make way for the chopper. Before she got out of Art's hearing range, she whispered something. 'Keep that kid save... he's special for some reason...' After that she went over to the chopper and hopped in with a little trouble from her paw. She accompanied Streak and Blaze, and lay down under the constant gunpoint of Jack. 'Lets go!' Jack shouted at the pilot. |
ooc: As a little thought, I've sort of dreamed up a... reasonably decent ending for Akky and Kix and Krisha. When we get to town I might post it as a suggestion for a better reason for them leaving.
If people want me to, that is. It involves Fisher teleporting Akky to the others as a favour, and then if I post it we could fit it into the plot. Which is really why I'm posting. In the mean time, there's not much I can do with my characters (sort of hoping Elfair might get more involved before too long) so I won't post. |
