Accidental Arrival

The clouds seemed to part and ripple. The sky had darkened to that of the colour you'd imagine sin to be. A low wind was blowing old crumpled up leaves along the dusty ground that was close to the cliff. Water splashed up on the jagged rocks that seemed to fence in the cliff-face. A lightning bolt divided the darkening sky and a ball of flame came from the clouds as if being dropped by an Angel. The new object approached the water at a amazing speed, black feathers trailing behind it. And then it hit the surface of the water. Upon impact one would expect a splash of some kind...this was silent. All that did happen was ripples formed and a cloud of smoke seemed to bellow and reach up for the clouds. The feathers bobbed on the watery surface before getting sucked down by some kind of magnetic force.
It was the beginning of an End.

(OOC: I spelt the 'Accidental' part wrong and it was annoying me. So i did this.)

Part 2

The water parted and a black figure hurled itself out onto the beach. Not exactly as graceful as it would have liked, it dragged itself up onto the beach. Its black claws digging into the sandy ground. The creature pulled itself out of the water, its wet, black body collecting sand as it did. Panting, its yellow eyes glowing tiredly. The feathers of its wings were mostly intact, and it tried to keep them like that as it retracted them. Finally it managed to summon the strength to push itself up out of the last bit of water lapping its legs. Two Mudokon children who were playing on the beach had seen it wash up on the beach. Intrigued they had ventured closer.

Child #1: "Hey, ummm...you ok?"

The creature stared at them. It could understand them but it was weak and needed food. Finally it uttered some kind of words, which weren't actually words, more like clicks and grunts. One of the children who was easily scared told his friend he was going to tell his mum and immediatly ran towards the cliff-face were a small shack was situated.

Child: "You know...you should go, Mrs Diley doesn't like new specie that much. 'Specially when they scare Timothy."

The child was mesmorised by this new creature. It hadn't seen anything like it. Its eyes had no pupils and shone magnificantly. Its skin was jet black (Think ViVi out of FF9). The arms of it were spindly and ended with hands that had 4 fingers and thumb, each razor sharp at the end. Its shoulders were lined with black feathers (Think Maz Manson in the 'Rock is Dead' vid). And on its back were its wings. Glorious black, sleek wings. The feathers reflecting the light as the darkness of the clouds seemed to run away.

Child: "What are you?"

The creature seemed to smile. Its lip-less mouth stretched, and a red tongue darted out, pointed at the end. The child backed away cautiously as the character proped itself up by its arms and rested like that looking at him. The little boy was ready to run and was already moving backwards slowly but its newly found person beckoned him with one claw to come closer.

Child: "W-why?"

It did not speak, but beckon him again. Its yellow glowing eyes dimming and a sharp coughing like sound escaping its mouth. The little boy weighed up what the worse that could happen to him was, the man/woman/thing was practicly dying. It looked weak, and any way...there was stones and rocks to hit him/her/it with if it attacked. The child noted all of the possibilities and realised he could escape if anything happened. He took a step forward, its foot manuvouring around some sharp stones that laiden the beach. After nudging a couple of more rocks out of the way he finally managed to stand squarely in front of the creature.

Child: "Well?"

A short hiss escaped the weakened animal and its claw shot up, stopping inches before the childs face a red ball of electricity formed on the palm of the attacker and two string like bolts shot into the childs eyes. The Mudokon's body convulsed and shook, and then finally it dropped down. The childs eyes burnt clean out of its sockets. A couple of seconds later the creature shook violently, green energy coursing around its body, and then halting. A small snort came from it as it stood up, its black slender body, covered with specs of sand. Cracking its neck it turned and picked up a piece of old brown cloth that lay on the beach, it looked like part of a curtain. It flung it around its neck, quite like you would a scarf and draped it down its back, hiding its retracted wings. Tying it in a knot at the front of its neck it proceeded towards the cliff...towards the Diley residence.

Part 3

It smiled. The feeding had been farely easy. The Mudokon mother was half way down the beach and had put up little resistance. The child was the hardest to catch. He had ran back down to the shack to try and find his father. The winged figure had smashed the door down to the shack and fed off of the child just before a shot had interupted the feed. The Mudokon male was holding a shot gun and had shot it, in the back, just between the wings. The creature had tried to speak, clicks and grunts were the only dialect and another shot had erupted. This time hitting it in the stomach. It had left no entry wound however and had seemed not to exit the creature either. It did make the body ripple like that of a pond though. Again, the creature tried to talk, waving its arms about franticly. But the Mudokon had only fired another shot. The creature, Alien to this world, was getting annoyed. It had stepped forward, putting its hand on the nozzle of the gun and forcing it to point in a different direction. Another shot rang out, but the bullet just hit the hand and disserpeared. Once again no exit wound, nothing. The Mudokon male had sheer disbelief written all over his face. It seened to be invincible. A small hiss escaped his attackers vocal cords as it beat him to the ground with its free arm. Throwing the gun to one side it flipped him over with ease so he was on his stomach and then made some more clicking noises, in a seemingly softer tone as it crouched down over his body. It then brought both of its claws up to the mans temples, holding its palms inches away from them. Bolts of electricity escaped the clawed hands and hit the mans head, a weezing sound escaped the monster as it did this and the man jibbered insanely. Finally the creature stopped and stood up. A high pitched screech left its mouth as its head vibrated rapidly, making its body convulse. All that was left of the head was a black blur. The creature stopped and collapsed, lying down on the floor it looked up at the ceiling.

Creature: "I-i-iiiiiiii *Clicks* iiiii-I am. Am...Am...I am...*Clicks and grunts* Arias...A-A-Arias...Ari.. *Clicks*..AS!!"

Its body shook violently each time it clicked. Finally it stopped and picked itself up off the ground. Its eyes glowing brightly.

Creature: "I am Arias...Arias is my name...A-R-I..."

It repeated this, making sure it could speak properly in the natives dialect before it left the shack.

Arias: "Finally...you understand me now? Christ...i tried to explain but no, you just fired your fireing thing like there was no tomorrow, didn't you?"

The Mudokon was on the floor, motionless, speechless. Arias had taken its language. It was now un-able to speak and paralysed for a short amount of time.

Arias: "Now then...where do i go from here? Humph. Well, i need some more food...Tell me, do you know where there is any living creature around here?"

It stooped down awaiting an answer before realising the Mud was paralysed and raped of its speech. It stood back up again and looked around the room from were he was stood.

Arias: "Yes, shame that. Anyways...i'm gonna go now. Ok...cyaz."

Arias waved a claw and exited through the way he came in. He looked at the bodies on the beach.

Arias: "Shame, dint want to kill 'em."

He stretched out his wings and beat them a couple of times, before leaping into the air and soaring into the clouds. Looking for somewhere which was quite well populated. The way Arias acted wasn't its usual personality, however, it was a severe side affect from taking a creatures ability and incoperating it into you, especially when weak..

Part 4

He sat. The shade of the forest keeping him cool from the hot rays of the sun. His powers were slowly returning. The souls of his vicims were working their 'Magic' as it were. Arias allowed a lady-bug to scuttle around his hand. He smiled, it was a nice feeling. He had never felt this before and he realised he could get used to this Dimension Dwelling sort of thing. The lady-bug ran around to the palm of his hand were it disapeared. Submerged by the blackness which he called 'Skin'. He yawned. A new experience, something he hadn't really the need to do back at...at 'Home'. Were he came from there was no night, no day, no...time. You could travel to the future, to the past, anywhere. Even to different Dimensions. But the world he came from...the world between worlds was his home. The home in which he could not die of natural causes such as the Dimension Dwellers could. Murder could happen...and it did. But he was never in danger, he was the warrior...he was...the Advocate. But things change...things...change horrificly. He had witnessed many things in the past...evolution being one of them. The evolution of the Orkhids...the most horrendous specie to grace the dimensions. Of course...in some dimensions things were different. Alot of things. He sighed. He was here now...in this world. And it was ti...a snap of fallen branches disturbed his line of thought. Static from the radio suffocated the snapping of branches. And then a voice spoke clearly into the radio. A female voice.

Female: "We have a intruder in forest section 7. Shall i confront it? Over."

Static resumed. And a in-audible reply answered.

Female: "Ok...Over and out."

Arias stood up and shook the dirt and such off his wings. His gracious black wings. Retracting them he then turned around to face his inquisitor.

Arias: "Yes?"

The female was dressed in black. It was a black ninja-type suit, goggles were strapped to her head, yet not being used and thus were pointing upwards on her head, like a hat. A head-set radio was strapped to her, the speaker bending to be near her mouth. A Sniper-Rifle was strapped to her back, it was silver...well...from what he could see. And 2 Uzi's were holstered in her belt.

Female: "What do you want with this area?"

She spoke confidently...almost cocky. She stood up straight, her boots tipped with silver.

Arias: "To rest...i have had a long journey and would like to be left alone."

Female: "This is private property...rest somewhere else."

Arias' fists clenched. His feathery shoulders seemed to shake...He cocked his head and licked his lips calmly.

Arias: "And if i do not?"

Female: "I will force you to rest somewhere else."

Arias smiled and advanced on the creature. He could only see her eyes as the rest of her face was covered by the black suit. She stood her ground, holding her head high.

Arias: "Would you like to try?"

She span around, doing a round-house kick to his head. Arias staggered into a tree, snarling. The female then back-flipped and drew her weapons. Firing them at Arias. The bullets merely got absorbed into his rippling skin...he laughed and dispersed himself into Atom sized molecules. The female growled puzzled by what had just happened, and whether she had imagined it or not.

Female: "This is Ilane reporting back to base. Intruder has been dealt with, over."

Ilane turned to be confronted with the outline of Arias' head hovering. The outline only showed the mouth and eyes. The eyes didn't even look like eyes. But the mouth moved as he spoke.

Arias: "I am not done yet."

A claw materialised from thin air and grabbed her neck, hoisting her off the ground. She kicked at the figure but managed to hit nothing but air. The arm flung her aside into a tree, knocking her semi-unconcious. Arias then materialsed fully for a brief moment. The female tried to contact her collegues via radio, but the head set was damaged and static intrupted her plea for help. Arias smiled, his tongue darting out for a brief moment before he dispersed once more, this time into a black fog which advanced rapidly on the injured creature. Entering through the eyes. Electricity darted around the eyes of his prey as he entered. The Orkhid female was slowly being taken over. The subconcious of Ilane gasped, asking Arias what he was. To which he replied.
*Sarraphin dear. Goodbye.*
Upon fitting comfortably into the body, and devoring her soul. And managing all the working abilities Arias proceeded to radio for help.

Arias: "H-Help me...Help...This is Ilane...please...i've been blinded...HELP!!"

It wasn't exactly a lie, although Arias could see...the body was naturally blinded. The normal brown eye of Ilane were now polluted with the white of a cataract. Arias then flunked on the floor, smiling to himself. And all that he was going to achieve...if everything went to plan.

Part 5

He smiled inside. It had worked. The troops had gotten the distress message through the static and had located the body within minuits...thanks to satellite location. Arias...or...Ilane as they thought he was, was being carried out via jeep. He had doctors looking over the body, checking for abnormalities...in which they never found. They had merely stated that 'Ilane' was blind with a few minor cuts and bruises whatever they was. Upon arriving to the base Arias looked around. Troops were everywhere and he was getting hungry just thinking about their souls. The words "Come on!!" made him realise what he was in, and that he had to act blind. Two big hands grasped the body and hoisted him out of the jeep.

Soldier #1: "Dont worry Ilane...we'll get you to the technical lab and get you fixed up with something."

Arias: "T-Thanks."

He allowed 2 of them to escort him down some corridors, they seemed to be close to Ilane. But Arias had not been in the body long enough to access the memory in the body. Troops acknowledged their injured comrade and greeted her. Some saying "We'll get that bastard, dont you worry." and "Dont worry Illie, we'll get you fixed up good and new." This creatures life was a good one, filled with friends that respected her. He noted the look in some of the men's eyes when he went past that they had a thing for her...and even in one of the women's eyes.

Soldier #1: "Here we go Ilane. Wait while i open the door."

The soldier walked upto the electronic doors and dialled in a few keycodes. The door opened and a scientist stepped out, greeting them with a annoyed expression.

Scientist: "Yes...what is with this creature you want us to do?"

It rushed its sentences...the Scientists hair was black and gelled back, his face was thin and whitish. He wore white gloves with a white uniform. The Soldier who was behind her spoke.

Soldier #2: "She needs her sight back...it has been damaged by something."

Scientist: "Point is what?"

Soldier #1: "Well...you can fix her up right?"

Scientist: "May take days of a couple. But yes...yes we will try, we will."

A small spec of dribble formed at the corner of his mouth as he said this rushed sentence.

Scientist: "Bring her to me...allow me to escort her only."

Arias held a hand out and the Scientist stretched forward not making a effort to move. Finally their hands touched and the Scientist grabbed him and pulled him towards the electronic door. It shut hard behind them.

Soldier #1: "We'll see you soon, alright Ilane!!"

The Scientist mumbled and walked up to a lift, dragging Arias behind him. They stopped and the Orkhid dialled in a code, the lift made a 'Bing' sound, Arias figured it must be on the way up. The Scientist turned to Arias (In the body of Ilane...just incase you forgot.) and licked his lips.

Scientist: "S-So...blind you are? Completly?"

Arias: "Yes."

Arias stared straight ahead at the doors, awaiting for them to open.

Scientist: "Do you happened to remember what happen?"

Arias: "No."

The Scientist smiled and moved his hand closer to the body of Ilane' breasts. And then he moved it slowly further down. Arias snarled and shot a hand up, grasping his neck. He let his real voice out, dis-regarding any recording equipment that could be around.

Arias: "You dare touch this body without any need to and i will make sure your life is a living Hell...you hear me?"

The Scientist who was abit taken back smirked.

Scientist: "I can do, i want anything, to your body...you know..."

A cocky chuckle escaped his lips and he slowly drew out a needle. Jamming it into the arm. Arias merely smirked and threw the Scientist across the floor and pulling the needle out. He resumed the feminine voice of Ilane.

Arias: "HELP ME...HELP...PLEASE....HEEEEELP!!"

The scream was piercing, and the glass needle shattered in his hand. He ripped the clothes he wore and collapsed to the ground. A small cut formed on ,the already grazed, forehead of Ilane. And tears welled up in her blinded eyes. Immediatly troops stormed through the electronic door, followed by the two who escorted him.

Arias: "H-He attacked me...he tried to rape me...p-please!! Help...!!"

The Soldiers who had escorted her looked at the Scientist who was, by this time, trembling in disbelief. One of them approached Ilane slowly, crouching down and holding her in his arms, hugging her and whispering in her ear gently. The other turned and pulled the Scientist up by the coller.

Soldier: "You...You bastard. Your f*cking coming with me. Chad, make sure Ilane' alright...I'm going to have a 'word' with this one."

He stormed out, pushing through the crowd that had gathered around the doors, dragging the Scientist behind him...

(OOC: Can i have some feedback please.)

Add-on.

The Scientist was kept in a small compound under the facility. It was a small grubby area. Cages lined one side of the wall, all seperated with steal bars. Most Orkhids or other carptured creatures were taken there. They then awaited their sentencing or...died. Sometimes both. The Soldier who had escorted him down there was Ilane' brother. He was dark haired and had brown eyes like she once did. He was muscular, and wore a green tank top and black trousers. His hair was short and he had abit of stubble on his chin. He was like a tank...and the Scientist, a mini. The Soldiers name was Arike.

Arike: "You think its f*cking funny, eh? Do ya...taking out your pent up sexual frustrations on my sis. My f*cking blind sis...!?"

The Scientist, who was already bruised from being thrown by Ilane (Or Arias inside Ilane.), mekely looked up. Arike towered over him, clenching his fists.

Arike: "I asked you a question...!!"

Scientist: "N-no...do not...i do not."

Arike grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, pushing him against the cold brick wall.

Arike: "Then why the f*ck did you do it? Eh?"

Scientist: "Never, I!! N-Never, I never touched her!!"

Arike: "So...are you calling my sister a liar now!?"

Scientist: "No...Yes...Dunno!! She attack me!! Attack me she did!!"

Arike flung him to the side of the cell, ramming him into the steal bars. The Scientist tried to flee but got pulled back by his gelled hair and thrown down to the cold, urinated smelling floor. Arike pulled out a hard, cold metal pipe from the back of his trousers.

Arike: "Now...i want you to beg for your life...hear me...f*cking beg!!"

The Scientist, positioned himself so he was on his knee's and put his hands in a prayer position. He pleaded, his sentences being ever more rushed and dribble running down his chin in pure fear. Arike smirked and brung the pipe down, making contact with his hands. The Scientist, fell in a heap on the floor, crying.

Arike: "Thats right...you cry...you cry. I have a good mind to put you with one of these prisoners and show you how it feels to be raped."

When he mentioned this, the prisoners heads seemed to lift up, their muscles flexed and they pleaded silently for him to do just that.

Scientist: "No...No please!! Please, i never touched her never!!"

Arike brung the pipe down on the Scientists hand, shattering it. And then stood on his knee-cap.

Arike: "Heh...im gonna scar you physically, like you scarred my sis emotionally."

His voice was corse and harsh. And he pulled his victims leg upwards, snapping it violently. The Scientist' cries echoed down the corridor of cells. Arike smiled and grabbed hold of his wounded prey' leg with one arm and dragged him out of the cell and down the corridor, deeper, further into the darker side of it. The prisoners stood near their cell doors. Trying to grasp at the injured victim. They hollowed frustrated as the Scientist went by them, brown sludge staining his white lab coat. Finally they stopped. The Scientist was blinded with pain and could only hear two voices.

Arike: "Yo...Jerome...its me bro, Arike."

He banged on the steel wall at the very end of the prison compound. A slit opened up and a two yellow, slited eyes peered through. A Jamaican accent cut through the prison silence.

Jerome: "What you want?"

Arike: "New challenger for ya...heh, heh. For the pit."

The Scientist tried to lift his head but was too weak and tired.

Jerome: "What he do? And why you bringing him?"

Arike: "He tried to rape my sis, you want him or not?"

Jerome: "Yas man, hold on."

The voice was dark, menacing one. One that might be linked with that of murderers or something or other. At the bottom of the steel wall a small opening got pulled back. It was big enough to fit most of Oddworlds creatures in, and usually had half of the specie pass through there once every year or so. Two brown, masculine hands darted out. Grabbing the ankles of the Scientist, and sharply dragging him in.

Jerome: "Thanks man, the Pitt has been kinda quiet recently. The punters getting bored with the Paramite and Scrab routine. They want intelligence."

Arike: "No prob mate. Yo...tape the fight for us wont ya?"

Jerome: "Sure thing."

With that the little hole got closed up and everything returned to silence. Arike made his way back up the cold corridor of the prison to see how his sister was. Justice had been served...

Part 6

Arias was in Ilane' room, still inside her body. He had asked the trooper to leave, so that 'she' could get a shower.

Troop: "But how will you navigate your way around th..."

Arias: "Look...could you please leave!!"

The words were harsh and bitter and the trooper looked stunned that they had come from her. After that remark he obeyed her, kissing her head as he left. Arias watched him leave, sitting on the bed and then turned the bed side lamp of. Walking over to the dorm door and locking it. He could see in the dark, to him, the dark was as bright as light. If not lighter. He sat on the bed and attempted to access the memory system of his host. Ilane' cateracted eyes seemed to glow in the darkness. He was tearing down her barriers like they were made out of paper. Finally he accessed them, images flooded him, subconcious and concious. He had found out the trooper who had just left, he was Ilane' fiancé. The other, her brother. She was born into a military school and trained by her mother who was quite harsh on her. Her mother had died in battle and Ilane had vowed that if she was ever to die, she would die fighting, not hiding or cowering. Her father was still around. He was the Commander of the 4th armamant. He was strong and willing. Overly determined some might say. But she loved him. Arias finished with the memory scan and climbed into the shower. Through the new knowledge he had gained he was sure he had to wash the body before leaving...it was 'Hygenic' or something. He allowed the substance that came from the shower head to wash over his hosts body, cupping the breasts curiously as he did. This body was strange. Unlike his, it had crevices and objects that came out...not for any particular reason. You would have thought they would have been used as weaponry of some sort...he scanned the memory again, briefly this time.
'Ah...'
He thought
'Breeding and pleasure purposes...of course.'
He smiled to himself. Wondering what it would be like. The thought was disturbed as a bang on the door interupted him of his pleasurable thoughts. A troopers voice came from behind the door.

Troop: "Ilane Zilas...you are to report at once to the Labratories for a eye re-newal. After that you are to go to the training grounds."

Arias scanned the memory, 'Zilas' was Ilane' surname. He replied almost instantly.

Arias: "Sir, yes sir!!"

He listened as the troopers feet clanked on the metal floor that went around the whole facility. Then hacked into the memories and feelings side of the brain. He seemed to purr gently as everything came to him...in wave after wave of emotions.

Part 7

The souls of the boots he had put on his host clanked down the metal corridor. Everything he needed to know was stored in that fleshy bulge Dimension Dwellers called a 'Brain'. It was amusing really, it was something like a 'Bank Account' he had found out about. Where creatures put money in and take it out whenever they want, except he was taking out infomation whenever he wanted. He had got a strange feeling that someone was keeping a eye on him however...like Jaze. Jaze, was the fiancé and the hardcore trooper who had stood by him. He who loved Ilane to bits and would do anything for her. However, he was starting to act strangely around 'her' and Arias thought that he might be onto something. The whole 'Ordering him out of the room, getting a shower and putting new clothes on while blind' may have been a give away but Arias was starting to get bored of this low-grade sheepish life and felt like a change anyway. They approached the Lab doors, Arias smiled as memories of the previous incident flooded back to him...hopefully that Scientist was dead, he had gone to alot of effort to make it look realistic, doing the whole 'Water in the eye' thing aswell seemed to get some sympathy. The electronic doors hummed open and Arias walked slowly down the corridor, arms linked with Jaze'.

Arias: "Where's Arike?"

Jaze: "He got called to the Generals office, something about a missing prisoner and him been seen last with him."

Jaze pushed the button for the lift, but this time it opened straight away...no waiting necessary. Stepping inside a bright white light greeted them from above and below. The lift was well lit...abit too well lit really. Arias shifted un-comfortably in the body of his female host. His kind were not keen on bright lights, which came as a big dis-advantage in one of the Dimensions he know's.
Finally the lift came to a halt and opened at a bright, white room. It looked like a marble surface and had many suiets and small glass tables scattered around. One thing that did strike him as odd was the mirror on one side of the room, it was directly opposite the lift and was quite large, not one someone would use for preening oneself, however he dismissed the thought as quickly as it entered. It was very much like a Dentists reception, except on a much larger scale with a much sinister atmosphere to it.

Jaze: "Jus' sit over there, ok babe?"

Arias nodded 'her' head and went to one of the suites, sitting down slowly. He scanned the memory banks of his host quickly but no trace of this place came up. There was alot of speculation about it but no record of this area what-so-ever. It was all new, to him and the body. Arias looked around, the lights were inside the ceiling and air conditioning whirred almost silently. A plant sat in the corner of the room, its green leaves looking incredibly colourful in the bland room. And thats when he noticed. A security camera just behind it, it was also white, well camoflaged...but he had caught a glimpse of it as its lense whirred and zoomed in.

Arias: "Erm...Jay...i'm feeling abit ill, could we come here another time."

Jaze turned around from standing in front of the mirror.

Jaze: "Not right now, ok?"

Arias: "B-but, im ill Jay...and confused. Where's the Doctors and Scientists!?"

Jaze sighed. He scratched his short blackish hair. His blue eyes staring at 'Ilane'.

Jaze: "Your not yourself Il, something happened to you out there. You act like you can see...when all signs point to you being blind. Hell, you hardly have a pupil left!!"

Arias then realised it had all been a trap. Jaze telling him to walk to this suite...a normal blind person couldn't do it, not without help. Arias stood up, the tight, white top he was wearing seemed to match the surrounding area.

Jaze: "Dont make this harder for me babe, sit down ok? Be co-operative."

Arias snarled, just as he did panels in the walls opened up. Two heavy armoured guards stepped out of one of them. They held cattle-prods and other large assortment of weapons. From the other panels stepped out the Dr's and Scientists. Arias growled.

Arias: "Dont...even...dare."

He stared at one of the Guards as he said this, his eyes glowering fiercly at him. A small chuckle escaped the Guards lips and he lunged forwards. Arias jumped back, the electricity humming exitedly as it just missed.

Arias: "CALL THEM OFF JAZE!!"

Jaze: "You need help, they just want to check you out ok? Make sure everythings ok."

The Guard lunged again, but Arias side stepped. Grabbing the attackers arm, he pulled him towards him and punched the plastic visor that covered the Guards face. It shattered. The other Guard then stepped in and tried to attack from the side. Arias merely put his captive in the way of the weapon and watched as he got taken out by one of his allies. The body dropped onto a glass table, shattering it into small chunks.

Scientist: "Come now Ilane, be reasonable...help us, help you."

The voice was rasp and nearly distracted her.The remaining Guard eyed Arias up suspiciously and cautiously, awaiting her next move. She didn't make one, and merely turned around to face Jaze. Thats when the Guard saw his chance and practicly flung himself at his opponant. Only to be knocked unconcious by her ducking out of the way and high kicking him on the side of his helmet. The force took him out easily.

Arias: "Anymore?"

A female laugh from behind her made Arias turn swiftly. It was another Scientist, this one holding a clip board. But she made no movement to attack.

Arias: "You wanna try your luck?"

Female Scientist: "Nope...not really."

Arias chuckled. The sound of crashing was the only thing he remembered after that. Jaze had hit her with one of the chunks of glass, knocking the body unconcious and sending Arias into a paralytic state. The eyes of the body had closed and he was unable to make movements, even the simplest of ones. All he could do was listen.

Scientist #1: "And what is the probvlem with it?"

Jaze: "Its her...not 'It' and she has been acting differently. I dont know, like...something terrible had happened after she had confronted this intruder."

Scientist #3: "What Introoder would that be?"

Jaze: "We dont know for sure, but she radioed in asking for permission, recon gave her it and then she radioed back with a SOS."

Scientist #2: "Git scouts in that area where she was situated. In the mean time, we will extract some visuals from da brain and then operate on her eyes...t'is ok, yes?"

Jaze: "Yes, and thankyou."

(Sorry its abit crap...again, im knackered.)

Part 11

The body opened its eyes and Arias could finally see and move again. Standing up he realised he was in a small glass box in the middle of a giant labratory. In front of him was a giant screen, with a control panel at the bottom. Scientists and Dr's were all buzzing around it. Some interacting with the panel...some merely looking at the screen, on the other sides of him lay chemicles and bunsen burners and such. He turned back to the Tv, Black lines were going across it, and then the screen flickered. Finally it restored and showed a visual of the forest. One of the female Scientists walked past Arias to get to the screen and noticed 'Ilane' was concious.

Scientist: "Ahh...Ilane. Dont worry, we are just trying to discover what actually happened in the forest, by this 'memory' we have extracted from you...ok? Then we'll get on with the eye op."

Arias turned and looked at the Scientist who smiled gently before walking towards the screen. He snarled and continued watching, it showed everything from Ilane' perspective. Including the fight. Arias growled, they couldn't find out he possessed her. It was time...he needed a new host anyway. He stood the body up, the head flung back and the entire body shook. The eyes glowed and then a shadowy figure materialised from the back of Ilane. Her body dropped to the floor and Arias was stood in the box...growling. A guard who was watching from afar saw this and called to the Scientists who span around sharply...astonished by what they saw.

Arias: "Fools."

Green electrons gathered around his hands, electricity darting from them and into his hands. Slowly they multiplied. A low snarl escaped his lipless mouth and he raised his hands slowly upwards. Aimed for the group of Scientists who were gathered around the screen. He placed his hands together, palm by palm and a jet of green energy smashed through the glass box, shattering the side he aimed at. The beam carried on, some Scientists and Dr's managed to dive out the way, one Scientist wasn't so lucky and got hit almost instantly. His eyes glowed and his skin slowly burned. Screams echoed in the room, closely followed by shooting. Then the Scientist dropped to the ground...charred and blackened. His head hitting the floor and then shattering into ash like pieces. The bullets hit Arias' back and merely rippled his skin as always.

Arias: "You creatures are pathetic. Do you even know what you are dealing with...?"

A short growl escaped his throat as he levitated off the ground, smashing the glass roof above his head. He floated higher until he was at least a good 8 ft off the ground...his wings spread and his eyes gleamed. He was almost at full power. He slowly turned to the guards who were shooting. Raising his hands, with his palms facing them he drained them of their essence, of their soul. Red electricity darted from his palm and hit their eyes. Their bodies jerked from afar and then they collapsed. One of the Dr's snatched a collegues clip board and attempted to use it as a weapon, waving it wildly to try and hit Arias' legs. Arias looked down at the pathetic creature and seemed to laugh. His body shook vaguely as he took the souls of his 2 victims into his system and then he held his hand out, concentrating. Electricity darting around his eyes. Finally the Dr flew upwards into his claws. Arias tighting his grip of the Dr's neck and lifting him up so they met eye to eye.

Arias: "Heh...you truly are stupid."

Arias flung him across the room, listening to the cracking of the bones as his body hit the wall at a horrendous speed. Finally he turned to the other Scientists and Dr's.

Arias: "It is a pity you didn't just leave me."

Gas valves turned as if by magick, allowing gas to come hissing out. Flammable fluids spilled on the floor, the bunsen burner' flame went out...allowing more gas to escape from the unlit nozzle. The Scientists attempted to escape but Arias flung them back telekineticly. Slowly he sauntered down to the ground, his black feet seemed to ripple upon touching the solid surface. He walked upto one of the female Dr's and smiled.

Arias: "You females...heh, you get all the pleasures."

He then shot a hand up and took a soul (In the usual way). Her body dropped lifelessly to the ground. He plodded around the lab abit more, looking at the laptop computers and going through certain files. His victims began to cough and sputter. Arias dispersed himself from his current position to that of the one closer to one of the Dr's. He turned him around and looked at his eyes...bloodshot. He smiled and walked into the middle of the room again.

Arias: "Thankyou."

He watched the Tv as Ilane' memory came to a end and she began to go blind. He smiled once more, dispersing himself into thousands of particles and escaping through the walls. The large Tv rocked, before coming slowly down. Wires snapped and sparks flew...lighting the gas. The fire spread in milli-seconds. Engulfing all in the room, engulfing the entire lab. The flammable fluids sparked up and then the employee'. Their bodies torn to shreds by the hot flames. Their screams muffled by the roaring of fury as it came and devoured them. Then...silence.

~End~
