Part 4
*Setting: The Orkhid dragged his feet along the ground with his head held low. The Sarraphin creature had given him a taste of death and he didn't like it. Tobias now listened to everything the being told him to do, not even thinking twice about any of it. He didn't really understand how the Sarraphin had stopped him from dying, the creature explained it as "rewinding time" but that still didn't explain why he had the memory. Tobias didn't like to think about it too much anyway, it made him nauseaus. Now he was deep in the woods, walking towards were the falling Airship had crashed. The Sarraphin had stated that he would find another creature who would aid him as he helped Alei and his cause. For a while now all he had seen was burnt trees and shrubs and smoldering metal. Every so often he would so the carcuss of an animal, burnt and charred. Alei had seemingly left Tobias, but it was still talking to him. As if invisible and not wanting anybody else to see. It still hadn't explained what sort of creature it was or what it wanted Tobias and this other creature to do, but all was to become apparent, in the next few days...*
Alei: "There...up ahead."
Tobias looked up and towards a burning tree. Metal was scattered everywhere aswell as burning corpses.
Tobias: "What? Where...??"
He began moving forwards, looking around the area, at the devastation the Airship had left in its wake. Alei slowly materialised and seemed to wince as it did so, as if hurt. It refrained itself however and took a step forwards and pointed to a large branch with a creature hanging off of it. It was a pinky colour with black hair and pointy, Dracconic ears. Wings sprouting from its back. It was hanging off of the branch by its mid-section. So its face couldn't be seen.
Tobias: "It looks...dead."
Alei: "Its barely alive, come..."
Alei jogged on ahead and towards the creature, leaping over the charred corpse of a dog-like beast. As it neared the unconcious being it waved its hand and gently picked it up off of the branch through telekenesis. Setting it down on the ground it crouched near it and stroked its cheek. It was covered in cuts and bruises and seemed to be female and had a snout, making it look like it was some kind of Reptilian or Dragon. Stepping upto it, the Orkhid nudged its head with his foot and then joined Alei in its crouching position.
Tobias: "Now what??"
The Sarraphin looked at Tobias and smiled gently.
Alei: "Now i heal it..."
The creature slowly set its black hand upon the others stomach, light coming from its palm. The unconcious creature seemed to blur and twitch before sitting up rapidly and exhaling. Its eyes wide and full of terror. Alei stood and stepped back, looking it up and down. Tobias was impressed, the beings cuts and bruises had seemingly disappeared, but once again Alei seemed to wince.
Creature: "Where...W-Where am i...!?! H-How did i g-get here?!?"
It looked up at the Sarraphin and then turned back and looked at Tobias.
Tobias: "You...erm, you landed here."
He didn't know what to say and that was the best he could do. Slowly the being stood up and shook its head.
Creature: "No...No, no, no. There...There was an explosion...The Ship...it...it blew up!!"
That was when Alei spoke, he stepped forwards impatiently and softly introduced himself and Tobias...
Alei: "My name is Alei and this is Tobias. We cannot tell you what happened that made you reach ground, but all we know is that your here and we need your help. If you dont, im sure i can arrange it so your back on another Vykker Airship..."
The female shook her head and grabbed her hair. She stepped backwards, it was clear from her facial expression that she was confused, confused and tired.
Creature: "No...No...I cant be...Fire...and...and...and Death. I felt it..."
Alei: "You weren't dead...i can assure you of that. Now, what is your name?"
It stepped forward as if to comfort her, but the female stepped back and snarled.
Creature: "S..S..."
Voice: "FREEEEEEZE!!"
Tobias turned to the voice and noticed three Sligs, all armed, pointing their guns at them. Lasersights had lined up on Alei, Tobias and the female. Alei snarled and turned to the Sligs.
Slig #2: "DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!! PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD AND GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES, NOW!!"
It stepped forwards, cocking its rifle. As it spoke Tobias and the female slowly made their way down to their knees. The female seemingly even more distressed. But Alei still stood, as proud as ever.
Slig #3: "YOU HEARD HIM, GET DOWN...NOW!!"
His gun aimed for Alei' leg and he fired. The bullet sailed through the air, slowing down as it did so. Tobias watched in shock as the bullet slowed to the pace slower than that of a Snails. His head turned to the Sligs, the Sligs all seemed to slow down aswell. Alei stepped forwards, moving out of the bullets bee-line as it did so, and approached the 3rd Slig. It held out its hand infront of the Sligs face and a ball of red electricity formed, growing in power. Two strands of red electric then leapt out and shattered through the Sligs eye pieces and into its eyes, the creature jerked momentarily before dropping to the ground. Tobias saw his oppourtunity, got on one knee and pulled out his Laser cannon and blasted the first Slig, the laser blast hit the creatures stomach and sent it flying backwards with a hole the size of a Basketball in its chest. Alei snapped its head towards Tobias and growled.
Alei: "FOOL, LEAVE THEM BE...I NEED THEM FOR FOO...OO..."
Its entire body started to shudder with immense speed and green energy seemed to pulse around its entire body, it was like it was having a fit, only so quick it was a blur. The female slowly rose to her feet and looked at both Tobias and Alei.
Creature: "W...What are you??"
She began to step back, Alei' convulsions slowly subsided and he turned to her.
Alei: "That is not of importance..."
The Sarraphin then stepped up to the other Slig and did the same thing. Once again its body juttered after the Slig had dropped.
Tobias: "I'd tell you but i dont know, what did you say your name was?"
He turned back to her, awaiting her response.
Creature: "Sasha..."
(OOC: I need information, was that a good plot twist?)
