*Setting: The radio played 'Coming home' by Placebo quietly as Iraxx made his way back to the Councils quaters. He could see the main building now, reaching skyward. It was spherical in shape which seemed to get more bulbous for a few storeys as it went higher into the sky, before thinning out again. The roof was fitted with antenna's and guarded by Orkhids and Mudokons, all suited up in heavy armour. The part of the building that was the most bulbous had windows going all the way around, the windows tinted so outsiders couldn't see inside. As he gradually drew closer an idea came into his head, one that he knew he'd have to pass with the Council first, but he knew he had a good chance of them agreeing to it, and then reclaiming his rightful place beside them. He smiled to himself, knowing that Adele's status besides the Council were numbered with single digits...
*Thump*
Iraxx flinched as the sound came from above him, a dentation mark on the interior of the roof was visible as was the sound of something shifting its weight. The Commandor grumbled something and tried to get a look at the creature on his hovercar by glancing at the reflections on building windows as he passed, but he could see nothing. Another 'thump' was emitted, but this time on his bonnet. And thats when he saw it. A short, hunched over creature. Its body seemingly covered in black Lyrca and its head hid under layers of bandages, concealing everything but its eyes, its red, beserk-ridden eyes. It turned to the windscreen, towards Iraxx. Its small Bird-like hands flinched and in doing so forced out three 9 inch steel blades from the back of its hands. Not only were they 9 inches long, they were 3 inches wide. The beast growled lowly, looking at the stunned Iraxx, and with a tilt of the head, it brought its right arm back, positioned it so it was level with Iraxx's head and then flung it forwards. In a quick reflex Iraxx dove to the left, lying down on the gearstick and passenger seat as the blades shattered through the window and pierced his headrest, causing the stuffing to seep out. A sharp cracking sound came from the window as the blades were pulled out, allowing the creature to move around to a better position. Now in fear of his life, Iraxx fumbled with the glove compartment, knowing that he had a gun in there with abit of ammunition.
*Thriicskkk*
The sound of metal piercing metal cut through the air as three more blades pushed their way through the roof of the car. Coming within inches of Iraxx' right arm. It was now apparent that there were two of these beings. Finally he opened the glove compartment and grabbed the black, 9mm. Cocking it he pointed the gun to the roof were the three blades were being pulled from. Taking a calculated guess were the creatures head was, he pulled the trigger three times. Hoping to hit something. As soon as he had squeezed off these rounds he sat up and looked for the creature on the bonnet. It was nowhere to be seen. He glanced behind him, making sure it wasn't near the rear of the car. Knowing that he was safe for now he forcefully put his foot down on the gas pedal, causing the hovercar to burst forwards with severe speed. Turning his head to the right sideview mirror he made sure there were no cars behind him as he indicated to turn in that direction, barely being able to see through the cracks in the glass. But as he took his mind of the attackers the same set of blades pierced the roof, this time at an angle so one actually made contact with him and was forced a good inch into his right shoulder. Crying out in pain he pushed himself down in his seat, trying to un-impale himself, but as he slouched he accidently pushed down on the ascent pedal, caushing the car to ascend with a quick burst of speed. Honking of horns and the shouting of angry drivers as they swerved to avoid the out of control car could be heard. The blades of the creature were, once again, pulled from the roof. By this time the car was travelling at such a speed it was above all of the hovercars and ascending even further. He gently took his foot off of the pedal and pushed in the 'sustain' button which would make sure he sustained the height at which he was at, this then allowed him to focus on more important matters. Quickly he switched seats, shifting over to the passenger seat so that he wouldn't be inline with the blades as much. Once again the weapons pierced the roof, being forced through all the way and cutting the metal of the roof even more. Twisting his body around and resting his back against the passenger door, Iraxx held his legs up so that his feet were facing the flat side of the blades, and then with one quick push he kicked out. Putting all his effort into kicking the weapons. There was a brief screech of pain from the attacker as the weapons bent and it quickly pulled them back. Wincing in pain Iraxx held up his right arm and fired somemore bullets into the roof. Taking comfort in the sound of a hard thud and a rolling sound. Following the sound he looked towards the back of the vehicle and watched as the body rolled down the back windscreen and off the edge of the car. In allowing himself to be distracted by this, he didn't noticed the other creature behind him. It was clinging onto the passenger door with its clawed feet and Bird-feet hands. Its blades were retracted but that didn't hinder it as it forced its left hand through the window and wrapped its arm around Iraxx's neck, getting him in a headlock. The Orkhid struggled, his feet kicking wildly as he hit the attackers arm with the butt of his gun and the fist of his unarmed hand. But the beast still clung onto him. Forcing himself forwards, Iraxx gradually was able to pull himself further into the car, making the attacker have to climb in partially to sustain its grip. The being cawed out, placing its right hand on the roof and digging its nails into it as it tried to pull Iraxx out. Its eyes burning in fury. Glancing to the back window of the car Iraxx could see the second creature pulling itself back onto the roof. But not only that, he could now see a gentle, red blinking under the backseats. Although under a great deal of aggrovation and stress he could just make out it was a red rock. Now believing that the attack and the red rock were someway connected, he was determined to figure out how they were and who had placed it there. Feeling the beasts breath on his right ear, Iraxx bent his arm and placed the gun just over his shoulder.
*Gunshot*
There was a sickening crack as the bullet cut through the creatures skull. Causing the beast to let go of the Commandors neck and flail wildly towards the ground. Turning his attention to the second creature, Iraxx pointed the gun and fired his last three shots, this time hitting the beasts torso. It barked viciously and twitched as the bullets entered and exited it, but didn't let go. Retracting its blades again, it attempted to break through the back window. Cracking the glass and then trying to force its way through. Quickly diving back into the drivers seat Iraxx began to lower the car again, the sound of a whole window shattering and the grunting of a Demonic beast entering the car made him realise the best thing he could do would be to make a sharp exit. Turning the car around he looked for a derelict building. He glanced at his rearview mirror to see the creature pulling itself through. Seeing an old warehouse he realised that, that was his chance. Lowering his car even further so that he was now level with the 4th storey of the building, he unlocked the drivers door and as he pushed the gas pedal down and sped the car up ever-so-quickly he dived out. Leaving the beast inside. He hadn't even looked at were he was leaping to, he just took a leap of faith. As he fell through the air his Leather jacket flapped through the wind, making him look like a flightless Crow. His arms flailed wildly and the wind rushed into his face...
*Thud*
A metallic surface contacted with the top half of his body, winding and dazing him but also forcing him to fall backwards before he could grasp onto it. Finally he came to a quick stop. His back hit the concrete surface of the roof of an old Motel. The back of his head connected against it dazing him even more. Blinking rapidly he gently tilted his head upwards. Noticing that he had made contact with a hover-Taxi mid-fall. The Taxi driver didn't seem to care that it had hit a person and was carrying on with its own route. But he didn't mind, for he was watching as his hovercar made contact witht he warehouse...crashing through the wall. He smiled as an explosion ruptured through the air seconds later, watched as flames and smoke belched out of the hole the vehicle had made in the building. He chuckled to himself and rested his head back down on the dusty, cold rooftop and then allowed darkness to descend upon him...*
