Camo *grin*
 
What was that? Dementa thought as she heard gun shots echo through the forest. She was about to go investagate when something caught her eye. She turned around and gasped.
There in a tree, an evil malicious grin on its face, was what looked like another drakkic...only there were things wrong...things that didn't seem right with it. It was blood red in color...and had rows of spines down its back.
There is no such thing as a red drakkic...or a drakkic with spines! she thought, angry.
"What sort of mockery is this!" Dementa growled, "Who are you! And why do have a shape that mocks my people!"
"Me? Mock?" the creature said, slyly, "I do apologize...I don't believe my creator had to intention of mocking your 'people'...."
Dementa didn't say anything...she just growled, her tail tip twitching.
"Mad are we? " the creature said, amused, "So sorry...you really should control your temper...you know what they say about anger clouding the mind..."
"Who are you..." Dementa asked again, still growling, "Why were you created to mock the appearence of my people!?"
The creature chuckled, "To find out...you would have to ask my creator...but there is one problem...he's dead...and I killed him." He laughed, "as for my name...they call me Malice... What about you?"
"I will not give my name to the likes of you..."
"Humph...so..you say I mock your people...yet I hardly look anything like you...save for our heads..."
"That's because I no longer look like what I once was..." Dementa sneered, "I was cursed by a sorceress years ago."
"Oooo nasty..." Malice said sarcasticly, "Perhaps I can..relieve you of your curse..." Malice grinned again, his eyes narrowed and full of malicious intent.
"Try it..." Dementa growled, going into a threatening posture, "Just try it..."
Malice looked like he was ready to pouce..but he looked up sharply and bolted, disappearing into the forest.
"COWARD!!!!" Dementa howled after him, but kept herself from chasing him....

(ooc: Mal ain't coming back into this topic...so don't bother trying to 'kill' him...just could resist putting him in here for a post. *grin*)

back form va ca
 
Raznet heard some one yell someting "huh?" he cocked the gun and went in the direction of the sound he turned the corner and found the drikkin(its dem i cant spell her name) "hey why do you look so angry?" he said..........

Sl'askia 02-25-2002 05:40 PM

Dementa glanced back at the cyborg briefly before staring back at where Malice was.
"Met a mockery...A MOCKERY of my people!" she growled, her whole body tense with rage and her tail tip twitch, "A crossbreed that looks like as I once was!"

oddite4456 03-05-2002 01:00 AM

OOC-(Ok, I'm really sorry I've been gone so long, my computer messed up BAD. My Uncle got me some cheap, substandard parts to use for now. It's running really slow now but at least it's running. I'm getting a new computer soon, anyway.)

(Svag has passed out for a while)

Svag got up from the ground. The air around him seemed unusually cold. He felt unsure on his legs, as if he was learning to use his mechanical pants all over again. He thought he heard voices from somewhere in the distance, so he went toward them. As he approached the area, he saw what appeared to be Dementa, but before he could walk over to her A tremendous pain in his head made him bend over in agony. As he hunched over, what he saw made him stare in horror. In place of his mechanical legs were two organic legs. They were n the same shape as his artificial legs, but were thicker, and covered in a coarse, brown hair. At the ends of his legs were onyx black hooves.

His head still hurt. Svag stuggled to try and keep his sense of direction, but it raveled out of reach and he could not tell if he was spinning at 1,000 kph or being pefectly still. His confusion was quickly ended as his consciousness eluded him, as well...

Sl'askia 03-05-2002 01:08 PM

OOC: I am guessing Svag really did grow new legs...then went unconscious. If I am wrong let me know and I'll edit this...

Dementa was still fuming about the red crossbreed and she was trying to calm herself down, but it was hard. She wanted to kill that crossbreed, that mockery of her race. Never before had she wanted to kill someone so badly (other then the one that cursed her...).
I should have gone after that bastard...I should have...eh? Dementa suddenly snapped out of her rage and looked behind her. A breeze had come up, faint but there, and it carried a familiar scent. Svag?
She sniffed the air curiously, the scent was very much like Svag's...but it had lost the normal industrial 'aftertaste' she was used to detecting off of sligs.
He must have lost his pants somehow... she thought as she set off, following the scent. And like most sligs I've known...he'll be helpless without them. Remembering the Raznet she stopped and turned toward him.
"Come on...Svag needs help." she said before starting off again.

It didn't take long to find him, and Dementa was shocked at what she saw.
What the...how the heck did he grow new legs!? she thought puzzled as she knelt down beside him. He was unconscious, most likely due to the pain from growing the legs she guessed. Taking off her cape, she wrapped Svag up in it and gently lifted him up in her arms.
"Let's get back to camp Raznet." she said and start off again.

OOC: Hey DH you lazy bum! When are you going to get back in here!?
Also...since the Malice plot is almost over (finally), I'll be needing to take Dementa out of this one soon, you are all welcome to join into the new plot.

Abe's son 03-05-2002 05:55 PM

hmmm
 
"hmm this is strage......i've never seen something evolve over a preiod of time so quickly.......well exsept for my slef" he looked over at dementa "are you ok?" he said "becuse the "mockery you speak of i have plenty of me" she looked at him stragely as if to say "theres more of you?" he looked back and replied " oh yes the vikkers have been makeing copies of me since i escaped..well the copies of me are loyal to the vikkers" he paused "well there was one who was created as my brother.....his name was Necross sort of a evil twin" he looked up into the sky for a moment then back at Dementa "i quite hungry....once i'm done finding the source of the legs mabey we could find some thing to eat....altho i dont totaly remeber how to eat....snice i escaped the vikkers the food suply in my amuor has been keeping me alive"......


(sory ive been sic traked lately and forgot about the topic)

DarkHoodness 03-05-2002 08:27 PM

(OOC: Sorry, I've kind of lost track of the situation. I have been keeping tack of the plotline, but it's hard to actually know whats going on. Dunno why.)

Blue has been following Dementa, Svag and Raznet back to camp, after standing around for ages watching everything, like she sometimes does (OOC: yeah, right. No other explanation. One things for sure, I'm not gonna let something like this happen again. Or at least I'll try. Lack of plotline is sometimes unavoidable). "So, you need food, eh? I've got a few apples and other stuff left over in my pocket. . . And if you find a stream, I'll go fish for ya all. . ." She pulls out a large apple and bites into it. "BTW, with all this stuff been going on lately, I'm kind of freaked out. I know I shouldn't be, since lots of strange things go on in Pyke, but not this many strange things all at once." She takes another bite out of her apple and carries on following the group.

Sl'askia 03-05-2002 09:26 PM

OOC: Gonna start working on getting Dementa into the main plotline...

"What sort of strange things?" Dementa asked as she started a fire to cook the scrab she had killed earlier (much much earlier...like maybe 2 pages ago...). She glanced over at Svag and sighed worryingly. "I hope he wakes up soon...he would be the best one to tell us how he got those legs...."

Abe's son 03-05-2002 11:16 PM

thax
 
he sat down were they had put savg and he exsamend the legs he had grew "hmm interesting" he took out a few medical tools and begain anilizing it"this is amazeing his gene compostion is like a snake vine but growing faster!" he herd some thing over head.He looked up "every one look out!" he yelled as Necross landed "Fancy meeting you here brother" Necross said in a meatilc voice"same" said raznet.Necross craged raznet with his ax out. raznet lept into the air and brought his fist upon necrosses head. necross noticed the others and glared at them...

Sl'askia 03-05-2002 11:26 PM

Dementa glared back that this newcomer, at once she didn't like him.
"What is your business here?" seh said, growling slightly.

DarkHoodness 03-06-2002 01:00 AM

(OOC: This never happend officailly. Bladewing will visit Pyke in my fanfic, but thats a different story, non-related to the RPG.)

"Yes. Well, anyway, a few months ago, we had an alien come through here. Came down in this HUGE sleek looking Space Ship. He was black and yellow, mudokon like, with two arms and two legs, but had five fingers instead of three. . . A really weird creature. He spoke in the same langauge as us as well. Anyway, he asked me where he was, so I told him. He then said that he'd picked the wrong planet with the wrong time zone, went back in his Space Ship and flew off with an almighty roar. I watched the ship fly away into the distance, and it kind of dissapeared in a ball of light."

Dementa and Raznet look at her, interested. Blue continues her stories.

"A couple of months after the Alien vist, a few months infact, a few strange crossbreeds came through here. Large lizard type creatures. Very intelligent."

"Uh-huh." Dementa nods her head. Blue continues.

"They tried to invade and destroy Pyke. But Spider came in there and stopped them, almost single handedly. He became a local hero, and the whole village held a banquet. Thats where I first saw him. I also made friends with this big bro slig who had organic legs called Magar the Hunter. Dunno whats happend to him now, but anyway, after that, there was another strange creature which resembled a small, flying drakkic, called a Wyvern. It killed a few villagers, and actually injured Spider at some point. There was another villan roaming around at that time, too. But that's another story. Shall I tell it to you?"

"Yes please. I suppose I would like to find out a few of the things that have been going on here lately." Dementa says.

"Okay. Because Spider was injured, he went to the sickbay in town. It was there that he got kidnapped by that very villan. This villans name was Lanar, a grey big bro slig who was a currupt bounty hunter, and wanted to get money from the cartel for Spiders capture."

Dementa releases a growl. Blue pauses, and continues.

"He hid out in a shed somewhere in this wood. It was there that I discoverd him, and the kidnapped Spider, who was being looked after by a blind mudokon called Teb, who was helping Lanar for reason I do not know. I went to get help, and found the organic legged big bro slig named Magar the Hunter whom I met at the banquet, and the strange Wyvern creature who was attacking everyone earlier. Apparently, since the Wyvern attacked Spider, it then knew who he was: Another drakkic. It also figured out that it needed to help Spider."

"Why was it with Magar the Hunter?" Dementa asked.

"I'm not sure, but it somehow found out that Hunter was Spider's friend, and was out to help him." Blue replies.

"Oh." Says Dementa.

Blue continues. "Anyway, I lead them back towards the hut. We had a fight with Lanar. He shot Hunter in the shoulder, and then I shot him in the hand with a big stun beam, knocking his gun away from him. He then got out his dagger, and knocked my staff away. Then he got a net down from the ceiling and trapped the Wyvern. He was about to kill us all with the gun, but Teb injected Lanar with air, and he died. It turned out that Spider had awoken and talked to Teb, and he finally came to a conclusion after hearing all the fighting."

(OOC: Blue might tell more stories later, but thats as much RPG history I'm prepared to dig up for tonight. Night all.)

Sl'askia 03-06-2002 12:49 PM

"Seems like this Spider is a very importent individual..." Dementa said idlely, then suddenly snapped her head up, a look of shock on her face. "Wait a mo...you said 'drakkic' several times in those stories..."
"Yeah...." Blue said.
"So you are saying there are other drakkics about."
"Um...yes."
"THAT CAN'T BE!" Dementa suddenly screeched, "I AM THE ONLY ONE LEFT!!!! All the others were killed by the Cartel 300 years ago!" Dementa stood there a moment, breathing hard, her eyes crushed closed, and her body tense.
"Unless..." She said finally, "this 'Spider' is a mockery like that one I met a while ago...a creation by the Cartel. What do you know about this Spider?" Dementa said with a growl, "Tell me everything you know about him!"

DarkHoodness 03-06-2002 07:04 PM

"I. . . I don't know exactly where he comes from. But what I do know is, he's got a new type of Big Bro pants that never came out offcailly. 8 legs, very fast. I think that's why they called him Spider. But I guess he escaped from some cartel owned lab. I know nothing about his history, though."
- DH

Sl'askia 03-06-2002 09:06 PM

Dementa snorted, frustrated.
"Alright...looks like I'll have to go talk to him myself." She grumbled, "he is in Pyke you said...how far is Pyke from here?"

DarkHoodness 03-06-2002 10:21 PM

Blue thinks for a moment. "Not too far, although it'll take you a while to walk there, especailly carrying him." She points to Svag. Dementa nods. Blue continues. "I could give you two a lift in my newly aquired pod, though." She looks at Raznet and the newcommer. "Not you two, though. There won't be enough room." She turns back to Dementa. "So, shall I give you a lift or do you want to walk to Pyke?"
- DH

Sl'askia 03-06-2002 10:33 PM

"It has been awhile since I have traveled any other way other then using my own two feet." Dementa said, "Besides...an inn or something would be better for Svag's recovery. So I'll accept the ride."

DarkHoodness 03-06-2002 10:47 PM

"Exellent. You'll be glad you did." Blue grins and walks over to the pod. She then opens it using a keycard which she nabbed off one of the dead Vykkers. Stuffing the keycard back into her pocket, she climbs in the pod and awaits for Dementa.

(OOC: Don't forget Svag!)
- DH

Sl'askia 03-06-2002 10:53 PM

Dementa nodded and carefully picked Svag back up, then looked at Raznet and the other.
"Gotta see about something...you two behave yourselves" she said with a grin as she got into Blue's pod.

DarkHoodness 03-06-2002 11:13 PM

As soon as Dementa climbs in with Svag, the pod's glass cockpit window slowly lowers shut over them.

"Hope you aren't clostrophobic." Blue says. "Nope." Replies Dementa. "Good." Says Blue. "We may be inside this thing for a bit."

A click is heard as Blue presses a green button on the dashboard, and the pod springs into life. The dashboard bleeps and and flashes as everythign turns on, but the bleeping and flashing seems to stop after a bit. A green light labeld 'Ready for Use' comes on.

"Great! I guess everything checks out." Blue says.

She then grabs the joystick, and the pod begins to acend upwards, slowly and smoothly. Blue then presses the joystick forward, and the Pod begins to move at quite a speed above the treeline. The large village of Pyke can be seen ahead, a small cluster of buildings which aren't so far away. Beyond Pyke is a seemly never ending desert, stretching off as far as the eye can see. On the the left, forest streches a long way until it meets a large city on the Horizon. Neverending forest can be seen behind them and to the right of them. A few clearings and other villages can be seen in this dence forest as the pod climbs higher.

"You're lucky it's a clear day today." Blue says. "It's a shame Svag is asleep missing all this, but oh well, I can take him for another ride if he wants. . . Fuel shouldn't be hard to find if you know where to get it."
- DH

Sl'askia 03-06-2002 11:29 PM

"Yes...the view is nice..." Dementa said, idlely.
To bad this had to be a Vykker pod... she thought, scowling somewhat in distaste.
"Is that the village there?" she asked pointing to something in a distance.
"Yes that is...we should be arriving there shortly." Blue said.
Dementa stared in the direction of the Pyke, she could faintly see a dust cloud in that direction, but it was quickly disappearing.
"Looks like something was going on there..." she said.

DarkHoodness 03-06-2002 11:45 PM

"Yes. We'll find out in a moment." A small time later, the Pod reaches Pyke. Blue decends low and flies toward where she saw the dust cloud. They fly low above the spot where Malice and Spider were fighting, and as Blue and Dementa look down through the cockpit window, they take a glimpse of the scene: Spider on the floor, all the slig gaurds harrasing Malice, and a small pantless slig come into the scene from the crowd. "I'm not sure whats going on, but that looks like Malice and Spider down there." Blue says. By now, Blue is hovering the pod over her Camp Biros. Landing smoothly yet quickley next to her dad's hut, she jumps out of the pod. "Here we are. Now lets go and find out whats going on. . ."

Abe's son 03-07-2002 01:58 PM

" i hate being left alone" he said "i wonder what there doing out there" he thuoght a moment" if i had one of those-" he stoped and smacked jis head "im forgeting i've walked their before!" he turned " oh forgot your still here" he turned and shot him with a dart and moved tward the diretion tht pike was in

Sl'askia 03-08-2002 09:25 PM

As they flew, Dementa immediately reconigized Malice and growled angerily. Then she spotted the other drakkic, who she guessed was this Spider that Blue talked about so much.
It was obvious he had lost the fight, he was flat on his back and not moving, with some rather serious looking injuries. At first Dementa was going to just past Spider off as just another mockery like Malice...but then a glint of silver caught her eye as they passed over the scene. It was some sort of tattoo on Spider's chest...but she couldn't get a good look at it. However, the brief glimse of it was tagging at something at the back of her mind...something important, something from the past. As soon as they landed she handed Svag to Blue.
"Take care of Svag...I spotted something that may have great importance to me." She said.
Before Blue could say anything, Dementa ran off, flipping her hood over her head as she went, heading toward the scene they had just passed over.

ooc: Dementa is now offically out of this topic...the next topic she'll be in is 'Terror's end'

DarkHoodness 03-08-2002 10:48 PM

Blue calls after Dementa.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

But she is long gone by now. Blue looks down at Svag, then looks around drasticly. She then spots her dads shed and headbutts the door several times, as both her hands are full. The door opens, and Amphora steps out.

"Wha- Oh, it's you. Who have you got there?"

"Dad, this is Svag, one of the people we found yesterday morning whilst out collecting berries."

"Oh yeah, I remember. . . Why does he look so different? Whats wrong with him?" Amphora asks.

"Don't ask me why, but he grew his own organic legs for some strange reason. The whole experiance of growing legs in such a short time like that knocked him out, and he needs somewhere to rest until he comes round." Blue explains. "

Okay, but we're full. A mudokon and a slig who helped Spider moved in earlier today."

"Ah, nuts." Blue looks around. "I would stay and put him in my treehouse for a bit and look after him until he comes round, but I really need to go. Whilst we were flying over the village, we found that Spider and Malice have been fighting, and I'd quite like to see what is going on now. . ."

"Really?! Where?!" Amphora excalmates.

"Just over near the village Square. . ."

"Quick! I wanna see too!"

Just then, Withinhoe appears. "If you're so eagar to see whats going on in the village, I'll look after Svag for you. After all, I can't leave the area." She says.

"Okay, thanks mum. I'll take him up to my treehouse and lie him on the couch. Dad, go and get Orion. He may be interested, too." Blue says.

With that, Blue fireman carries Svag up the ladder and goes into her treehouse. Lying him on the couch, she then covers him over with a blanket. Withinhoe appears, and after saying her goodbyes, Blue leaves the treehouse, climbs down the ladder and head over to the gate, where Orion and Amphora are waiting for her. . .

(OOC: Blue has now left this topic. Oddite, your character is safe in Blue's treehouse for now, just as long as he doesn't mind waking up to find a mudokon ghost watching over him. . . ;) )
