[Jacob]

*Setting: The two beings darted through the small building, quickly hurrying to the front before the Cartel broke through the back. Calen hadn't had chance to explain about her parents before Prince had grasped her hand and began running, pulling the child behind her as they leapt over debris and rubble from the crumbling interior. Upon nearing the front door Prince had let go of Calens hand and leapt in the air. His hands clutched the wall above the door and as his legs swung towards the door he pointed the balls of his feet out, this way, with his momentum, he was capable of breaking the sealed door through. Making a decent sized hole for both of them to get through. Dropping to the floor he then picked Calen up by the waist and climbed out, looking up and down the well lit street before setting her down on the ground...*

Prince: "Well, your parents, where are they??"

Sniffling the child rubbed her eyes, wiping away the tears that had began to form.

Calen: "They dead...they were shooted..."

The Katterwols eyes lit up in shock, it had only been a day or two since he had spoken to the mother and now...she was dead.

Prince: "I'm...I'm sorry. I shall get you to safety first, and then if i have time, i will go back and search for your parents. Come."

He crouched down and opened his arms out to her, but the little child was suddenly becoming less trusting. Wondering how the Katterwol had known where she was and why he had helped her.

Calen: "M-Mommy said not to go with stwangers...how you know where i was?"

Looking around the street nervously he sighed. Knowing that the more time they spent out in the open, the more chance there was of being caught.

Prince: "I have a Scanner. It taps into the frequency of Slig radio's and allows me to listen to their communications...when i heard about a small, pale black, Mudokon child i recognised the description as you and feared for you. You derserve better than what they'll put you thro..."

As he neared the end of his speech he noticed something in the night sky. Metallic. Boxlike. With the Cartels sign on the front. It was a Cruiser and it was packing some of the most powerfullest weapons the Glukkons could buy. Knowing he was taking a risk in being seen with the child and that he would probably be forced to leave the city if the Cartel found out he was helping her, he quickly scooped her up. Believing that her well being and safety was more important than his. Struggling for a brief second as she pondered whether or not to trust him, she suddenly felt a wave of warmth come over her. It was a strange feeling and one that she would probably never feel again, yet a good one, as it somehow made her feel as if his Heart was pure. Looking towards the Cruiser, Prince snarled lowly. His left hand wrapped around Calens waist as she clutched onto him desperatly, and with a gentle whisper of 'hold on' he leapt verticly in the air, flipped, so he was facing the opposite direction and landed on the top of a streetlight. He then leapt over to the next street light a couple of metres away, landing on one foot as he did so. Bending the knee of the leg he landed on he then leapt to the next streetlight, landing on the other foot. After leaping to another and then finally another, Prince turned himself so that he faced an open alleyway and leapt into the darkness of it, stumbling briefly before regaining his composure. With his breathing becoming more laboured due to the fact he was forced to push his abilities to their peak and carry a child at the same time, he desperatly looked for shelter. It was at this moment in time Prince came to a junction in the alleyway, with the choice to carry on going straight ahead or turn right and attempt to go past the Crusier via the dark safety of the shadows. However, as the latter thought entered his head and he began to make his way down there he noticed a stirring in the shadows, quickly identified it as a Teuzo and stopped in his tracks. The beasts eyes glowed a gentle yellow as it neared, growling ever-so-gently. It was at this point Prince backflipped away, the soles of his feet hitting the surface of the wall behind him and his right hand also grasping the wall, sustaining him in a sort of gravity-defining crouching postion on the wall, all whilst clutching Calen. As the Teuzo quickened in pace and lunged at the Katterwol and Mudokon, Prince quickly turned to face the wall, were he then scaled it magesticlyl, heading towards the roof of the building he was on. In doing so he narrowly escaped the claws of the Teuzo which had lunged forwards, forcing its front claws into the wall were Prince once was. Sniffling softly Calen pushed her face into the neck of the furry creature, in fear of the predators around her and the beings who seemed to be chasing them. As Prince neared the roof of the building Calen could hear his hushed pleads with the deity which he put his faith into, pleading to them to give him and her protection.

Voice: "Kahn, Kahn...you must get away from him...you must get out of this city..."

Again the child sniffled. All of this was too much for her. The death of her parents, the Cartel hunting her down and Prince, a being she didn't know all that well, helping her in this large city.

Voice: "A waste disposal truck is making its way to the Incinerator...if you can get near the edge i might be able to get you into it and then to safety, but you must get away from him."

Clambering onto the top of the roof Prince turned around, it was then Calen felt his disappointment wash over him as his eyes spotted the Crusier heading at full speed towards them. Almost simutaneously a siren sounded behind them, causing him to turn in shock to the sight of a Patrol vehicle packed with Sligs. The vehicle hovered gently above the surface of the roof, allowing three Sligs armed with Cattleprods to jump and fan out, hoping to surround him and the child. Putting her down behind him Prince then got into a fighting stance and prepared to fend off the Cartel employee's.

Voice: "Kahn, get to the edge of the roof...quickly!!"

Mumbling a fearful cry Calen rushed to the ledge of the roof, her Heart pounding franticly as she feared this may be the end of her freedom, or worse, her life...

*Setting: The Bounteei's in the Crusier smiled triumphantly as they neared the Katterwol and Mudokon. The driver turned the wheel of the vehicle slightly to get closer to the building were the passenger then hung out of the window, aiming his Uzi at the Mudokon child who was now standing near the ledge. But as the being began to squeeze the trigger, a dark shadow descended upon the bonnet of the vehicle. Puzzled by this the driver slowed the vehicle down and bent forward to look up through its windscreen...believing it was another Patrol vehicle, but in doing so the bonnet was viciously thrown off by a rapturous explosion. Flames bellowed out from were the engine should have been and in seconds the front of the vehicle had exploded in a mass of flames, smoke and body parts.*

***

Slig: "What the...??"

Looking up the Sligs watched as the Crusier slowly went down in flames for no apparent reason. Prince turned also, wondering what had exploded and for what reason. It was at this point that the Katterwol noticed Calen near the edge of the rooftop and leapt into action to try and help her. But in doing so he was thrown back by a powerful, unknown force, sailing through the air and away from her, he landed on the gravel and slid across it, dirtying his clothes. Pushing himself up he looked over to the child in confusion and fear, wondering what was hindering him from stopping her from possibly falling. Climbing back onto his feet Prince rushed to her again, only being faltered by the sting of one of the Cattleprods on his right knee which made him fall forwards and onto his stomach. It was in this position that he watched Calen fall off the edge, screaming in her shrill little voice.

Prince: "NOOOOOO...!!"

As he forced himself up on all fours the vicious snap of electricity into his back pushed him back down. A pained bark escaped his vocal cords as the hissing and spitting of electricity pricked his back and legs before finally putting him unconcious with a surge to the back of his neck...

*Setting: Her scream seemed to get louder as gravity dragged her down with intense speed and even though she believed in her invisible friend to aid her, terror was still clutching onto her Soul. As the pavement got closer and the smoke from the downed Crusier grasped her as she passed through it, the feeling of being lifted and thrown away from the building took ahold. Her small body span through the air, twirling viciously like a Seal would do if Orca's were to play with them, and in a couple of, fearfilled, seconds she had landed in the disposal truck the invisible being had previously stated. Her small body impacted with the mounds of junk and rubbish, cartons and cardboard softened her fall with only her foot hitting something hard, this being a small, empty, can of Baked Beans. The truck in itself was large and bulky with a large metal container for the rubbish to be stored. The six wheels of the vehicle were round, black and scuffed to the extent that they were a couple of weeks away from being unusable. Driving the vehicle was a Slig. His arms painted with tattoo's which spiralled around both appendages. Oblivious to the fact it had just picked up a passenger the Slig turned the steering wheel right, taking the street which would eventually take him to the Incinerator, but in doing so the wheel jammed. With a couple of grunts through the Slig tugging on the wheel, it tried to force the truck to turn right, but as it continued it failed to notice the black mist which was beginning to form in the front of the vehicle. Within a couple of seconds the simple being realised that its vision was becoming poorer in the smog, but by this time its hands were seemingly glued to the wheel. Its arms stiffening as if something was forcing him to drive forwards. As the mortal being struggled in vain to pull away, the 'hover' switch was flicked, causing the large fan underneathe the truck to kick in, raise the truck off the ground and fold the wheels into the structure itself. The accelerate pedal was then slammed down and the entire vehicle sped towards the entrance of the city itself, or more precise, the mid-wall.*

Voice: "Kahn, hold on..."

Calen whimpered in response and waded through the rubbish to a large bar that was protruding from side of the container in which she grasped on desperatly to it...

Entrance guard: "Hey-hey, Jias has taken the wrong turning again...f*cking eejit."

The Slig looked up as the large truck headed their way, seemingly slowly at first but as the being continued to watch, he realised the vehicle was picking up speed.

Entrance guard: "Jay, get him on the radio, will ya. Tell him to slow the Hell down!!"

Reaching to the Cattleprod the creature had holstered on the side of its pants, it quickly took it out, flicked it on and waved it above his head. Hoping the sparks from it would catch the attention of the truck driver. After waving the prod a good five times the being then took a step back, gulped, and ran for cover, realising the chunk of metal was not going to stop no matter what...

***

Driver: "OH...F*CK!!"

Closing his eyes as he neared the large brick wall of the perimeter of the city the Slig waited for impact and in seconds that came. Upon smashing through the wall brick, metal and other debric shattered through the windscreen, killing him instantly and shredding the controls. The engine exploded, the fan got annihilated and as the entire structure shook, the large dump truck headed to the ground at a neck breaking speed...
