(OOC: this is where i will post all that goes on with the Blood Krye invasion that doesn't have to do with the total destruction of any local areas. Once you read this you'll see what i means.)

As the strange creatures head off(the creatures Oryon is using, the whatchamacallits, that saw the Mage Tower and the armies that overran Pyke), Draj, the leader of the Dark Ones, calls two of his best warriors, trained in stealth and tracking, also in assassination. Their names are Dazzt(OOC:male) and Kelh(OOC:female)

Draj: Did you sense those creatures?

Dazzt: yes

Kelh: you wish us to hunt them?

Draj: yes, find out all you can about them. if they aren't a threat, remove them. Should they prove a threat, report to me, and i will use the armies to destroy them all. Go, and hurry, my finest of warriors.

The two assassins dissapear into the forest, following the creatures who came to close and got seen.

As Cyrus and his group wandered off into the forest they realised that something was following them, something that was covered with the blood of another specie. Cyrus stopped and smelled the air, he slowly drew out his gun but this time kept the laser sight off. He turned to Corrack his 2nd in command:

Cyrus: "Spread out, try and stay in the trees
that way we can ambush the creature from above."

As Corrack took 3 members of the group the others followed Cyrus to a fallen tree. They crouched down behind it and hid, loading up their weapons with the finest bullets that they had. Meanwhile Corrack was clambering up a tree with members of the pack helping him up. Leaping from tree to tree they scouted the ground below, there on the ground one of them saw the stalker. Large as life it padded around the forest looking for its 2nd meal as it was so blatantly covered with the blood of its first. The hunter who was stalking was now the hunted being stalked. The watcher pulled out his gun and switched it to sight the beam of red light shot across the twig ridden ground and up the creatures leg. With a itchy trigger finger he took aim and attempted to fire the shot at the creature injurying it. But with both hands trying to steady the gun he lost his balance and fell with a heavy thud to the ground. Twigs and leaves followed him making noise as they hit branches of the tree. His gun tossed in front of his prey all the Orkhid had left to do was run. But his pride got in the way of his common sense and he foolishly attempted to grab his gun. As he crawled forward he managed to grab the barrel but before he could pull it towards him and get a firm grasp the Scrab, that he was hunting, put its claw through his arm and hissed. The pack member looked up and saw the Scrab open its mouth to show off a array of teeth that could put the bravest of hunters off.

Sike: "Help...Some one, Help!!"

As he screamed for help the Scrab rised on its hind legs releasing him for a brief time before bringing down its powerful claws onto his back, it bowed its head and ripped a chunk of flesh from his body. Sikes was as good as dead. Suddenly beams of red laser come from all the tree's. As Sikes lay on the ground bleeding the lasers focused on him and with a couple of well placed shots, killed him instantly. After they had mercyfully killed their friend the pack members turned to the Scrab, machine gun fire rippled through the forest, scaring birds into leaving their coops. Black blood of the Scrab spatterd on foilage behind it and bark of tree's turned into black gunk from the creature. The Scrab toppled and fell, holes gaping and chunks of it missing. Cyrus walked towards the fallen creature from his shooting spot and admired the damage.

Cyrus: "This creature...this Scrab was not the creature following us, our stalkers were of a much higher evil and threat."

Corrack: "Where are the main threat then sir"

He asked this question while looking around the leave covered tree's, looking for any sign that there might be something watching them right now. But the creatures that were hunting them were now no-where to be seen, smelt or sensed.

Cyrus: "They are still around...they are just choosing the right moment to attack. I dont want any of you wandering off, if they catch any of us we may all be screwed. Now come."

They scurried away rapidly, not knowing what was hunting them nor how dangerous it was. If they can stay hidden from the Orkhids then they are a worthy opponant for them and a challenge indeed. But Cyrus was not in the fighting mood, after walking miles to get to civilisation he is not intending to destroy it as quickly as he did the others.

[Darksider]

(OOC: IDIOT, UNNGG, NOW I HAVE TO POST AGAIN ABOUT THESE TWO, INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING THEM ATTACK WHEN I PLANNED IT!)

Kelh was the one to notice that the creatures were easy to track, but were quite vicious. Dazzt berated her for her mistake.

Dazzt: you let one sense you. AARRG! Now we must go silent, like a true assasin, to kill them off.

Kelh: they are dangerous enough. We will kill as many as we can, and then we will go back to Draj and report. You know as well as i do that there is no way that we kill them off, save by summoning...

And there, popping out of the trees, was a Skrakian!

Skrakian collective: who are you? Are you the Dark Ones who ravaged our village?

Dazzt: we destroyed many villages, by order of the blood kryes we serve. if we destroyed your village, i believe the blood kryes would have told us what you looked like. however, you look like competent warriors. what do you require?

Skrakian Collective: LIAR! WE HAS SEEN YOU IN THE VILLAGE, AROUND THE TOWER! YOU HAS TAKEN OVER OUR VILLAGE, THE VILLAGE WE WOULD HAVE CRUSHED! YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR LIVES!

FIGHT_________

Dazzt(18/18)
Kelh(15/15)
vs.
Adult Skrakian(15/18)
Adult Skrakian(15/18)
Adult Skrakian(15/18)

Dazzt attacks with his staff but misses. Damage-0

Kelh hits with her staff, killing the skrakian(18 dam., 15 hp. kill)

Adult Skrakian shoots a web at Dazzt. He dodges.

Adult Skrakian slaps Kelh with the back of it's tail. She flys into a tree and is unconsious.

Dazzt , seeing himself outgunned, chooses to use his most powerful weapon, the summoning of the Daemon Tripos. He chants;

Lumos nosos cannas linos tantas lios tantalios TRIPOS!

The mighty creature appears.

Tripos attacks, splitting his attack(AP: somewhere around 500, split is 250 each, Kills both.)

Tripos uses his power as a Lesser Deity to heal Kelh. He then returns to his plane.

END OF FIGHT_____

Kelh: let us hurry back to Draj. He will want a full report.

Dazzt: I will continue tracking them. Tripos is a mighty Daemon. He will guard me well.

The two evil creatures go their seperate ways. One follows the unknown creatures, the other hurries back to Draj.

[Zoolag]

The group members could hear commotion going on behind them and lights flickering through the forest. They were relativly relieved when they came to the Labs and were approached by 2 Sligs. One of the Sligs stepped forward and held its arm up in protest which clearly stated "Stop". Cyrus took hede and did stop. But also opened up his jacket to show his assault rifle the size of the Sligs body. The 2nd one behind the 1st took a step towards the intercom which was attached to the side of the electric gate. He pushed a button and a buzzer sounded before a voice:

Intercom: "Bzzzzz..who's there?"

A Slig inside the building answered it.

1st Slig: "Open up!"

There was a cackle from the intercom at first, but the large steel gates slid open. Cyrus stepped through, nodding to the Slig to say thankyou. The Slig returned the nod with a Salute like gesture. When all the members were inside the facility the electric gates once again closed and re-activated. The Buzz of the electricity seemed to invite all to their death. And the Sligs resumed their posts, one near each gate sat in a wooden chair, maing sure their pants dont touch the electrified metal. Their posts were soon abandoned though when the sound of twigs snapping alerted them of someone's pressence. The 1st Sligs stood up and cocked his gun towards the tree filled area.

Slig #1: "Who's there?"

He took a couple of steps forward and fired a warning shot in the air.

Sligs #1: "I repeat, W-who's there?"

This time the 2nd Slig was becoming weary and picked up his gun from the ground and stood up, surveying the area. Then all of a sudden a arrow came from one of the tree's, which one the Sligs were not sure about because of the panic. But as the arrow sailed through the air it was sure that it would hit on of them. It came down on the 2nd one and hit him in his chest. Making him stagger backwards into the fence. And getting fried completly. All that was left was his pants that were partially melted on the wires of the fence. The 1st Slig span around to see his partner get killed. He moved towards the pants and studied them closly. He hissed as he realised that his friend was truly dead and span around firing at the tree's. Wood splintered and leaves floated downwards, but there was no sign of creatures in pain or anything that got hurt.

Slig: "Where are you?!...you bastard, come out and s-show yourself!"

This Slig hissed these words with a poiseness tone. But his moment of bravery was shortly lived as a creature appeared it stepped out of the tree's with his eyes set on the Slig. The Slig hissed and began shooting, 3 bullets shot out before he heard a "Click" 2 bullets that came out missed completly but one of them hit the target on the arm. The target looeked down at the bullet wound and ground. It raised its arm slowly with its palm facing upwards. The Slig panicked at realising that he did not hit the creature in its head or chest and began reloading his weapon, fumbling as he did so. But as the creatures arm got higher the Slig raised off the ground slowly, at first he did not realise this but when he dropped a bullet and it fell a fair distance and he could not reach it, then he knew something was wrong. He looked up and saw the creatures eyes centered on him. Its other arm came up and moved forward, its palm facing the Slig. Branches started to move at this point as well. The Slig squirmed to break free but failed. It slowly moved backwards into the electric fence the buzzing getting louder as it neared it. The electricity seemed to jump from the fence to his pants as he neared closer and closer until..."Buuzzzaazzzzap" the creature had made the final push with its psychic ability then Slig stook to the fence electricy wrapping around it like a snake, burning its green skin. Until it turned to ash like its previous comrade. The creature smiled and took a few steps forward, surveying the fence and wondering if he would see the new specie inside the labs.

(If you want to fight my group just say and i will arrange one, otherwise carry on from here. Also i dint kn0 wot powers u had so i gave u the psychic one to kill the Sligs, hope thats ok, tell me if its not and i will edit it 4 u)

[Darksider]

(OOC: i work with it. By the way, this guy is gonna meet Cyrus, so you can reply. But if you piss him off you will not live to regret it. He has no compunctions against the use of Tripos)

Dazzt: hahaha! Too easy. now, for this gate. Hmmm... Well, maybe thisll work!

Dazzt fires an arrow into the control panel. A perfect shot. The wall that killed the sligs came down.

Dazzt: too easy.

Hurrying through, he followed the creatures to different rooms. first they would go to a room with a vykker, then to a room with a glukkon, then back to the room with the vykker. some went one way some went another. There seemed to be no end to the maze of confusion that they wove. However, finally they stopped at a room. This seemed to be the barraks of sorts, and they all began eating or lounging about, laughing in high spirits.

Cyrus: mmmmm... finally. I haven't eaten this well since, umm... well, i never have eaten this well!

Creature 1: yeah, boss!

Suddenly, Dazzt drops from the celing, where he was hidden.

Dazzt: hello

In reply, he is staring down the barrel of a Magnum Shotgun retrofitted with a Laser Target System(LTS).

Dazzt: violent, aren't we.

With a slight concentration, he removes the guns and has them floating in the air, just out of reach of the creatures.

Dazzt: my master has sent me to summon you to a meeting. He wishes to discuss the terms of your surrender, and to find the leaders so that they may be trained to better serve in the armies of the Blood Kryes. You have three days, and when the sun is in it's peak, you are due in the tower at the Village of Pyke. Failure means death.

(OOC: continue on from here. just remember all of your weapons are floating in the air, and u cant reach em.)

[Zoolag]

Cyrus looks at the creature and smiles.

Cyrus: "Tell me, do you think we rely on weapons...ha, ha. And answer me this, you may be able to keep our weapons away from us but think...will you be able to keep concentration when you are being fired at by a barrage of Sligs?"

Dazzt stares and at Cyrus and makes all weapons aim at him, the laser sights switch on and all beams are directed at him.

Dazzt: "I will most likely be killed...but i would kill you all first before you or anything else utter a single word."

Cyrus laughs and bows his head in acknowledgement to the answer.

Cyrus: "Very well...but first how did you get buy the gates and the Sligs...actually, forget the Sligs...how did you get by the gate without setting off the alarm?"

Dazzt: "Easily...there was no alarm"

He smiles smuggly as he said this but his smile soon disapeared when Cyrus replied snidly with.

Cyrus: "Yes there is...Oooo, yes...the Alarm is silent. Heh, heh, heh. You may not of heard it but i bet a couple of hundred Sligs did."

As he said this 5 Sligs ran into the room, their guns cocked and ready to fire. They hissed freeze as they slowly spread out and started to surround the imposter. Dazzt still had the guns hovering in mid air and slowly turn them to each Slig. His concentration was disturbed when Cyrus leaped up and grabbed his gun, spun him around and slammed him again a wall his gun pointing inbetween his eyes. The guns dropped to the floor and Dazzt gasped.

Cyrus: "Looks like our little warrior is more of a trainee"

Cyrus hissed this as his eyes slowly went black, the liquid black seemed to start off from the middle and slowly surround the visible part of his eye ball.

Slig #1: "We'll take it from here"

The Slig marched upto Cyrus and tugged on his long leather jacket. Cyrus was still looking at Dazzt his eyes black as oblivion staring deep into him.

Cyrus: "Kill them!"

The other members of the group picked up their weapons from were they had dropped and shot the Sligs before they had time to react, their bodies dropped lifeless to the floor, blood spilling out of the bullet holes.

Dazzt: "Why did you kill them...why dint you shoot me?"

Cyrus: "Because you have remarkable power...and if you have that sort of power your master must have 10X that, tell him i will be there...if he meets us with a attack we will defend ourselves be sure of that."

Cyrus released him and returned his gun to its rightful place on his body. He gestured his hand towards the door, in a sign that meant "You may leave". Dazzt walks towards the door and stops just before leaving.

Dazzt: "The same goes for you Cyrus...if you give any sort of message that you will attack, we will kill you with out hesitation."

Cyrus turns to the group after Dazzt leaves and smiles.

Cyrus: "He's got spunk i'll give him that, but to be on the safe side lets have all of you stay here...only Corrack and i shall go, if we get killed you lot can tell everyone where we are and they can be a bloodbath in our name...how does that sound?"

Everyone nods in agreement.

Cyrus: "Good...we may have a new allie"

[Darksider]

As soon as Dazzt is outside, he begins laughing. How foolish those stupid sligs were, so easy for even him to control, manipulate, push. Even silencing the alarm to all but five, those five, had been easy. But Cyrus and Corrak had made him respect them. Now, however, he knew that they were a vicious little company with or without weapons. He would make adjustments next time, he amde a mental note. As he exited, he destroyed the silent alarm, so that they would have too fix it. Payback for saving me, he thought, and for making me talk in gasps. He did want them on their side, and not as a little slave for the blood kryes, but he would, he promised himself, show off a bit just to tell them he had been acting in their chambers.
he slid into the forest two hours later, and was home at the city in less than that.

[Zoolag]

As the sun rose to its peak of the 3rd day Cyrus and Corrack equipped themselves with their weapons. They were going to meet the master of the Blood Kryes (Or whateva they are called). The other members were training in the training rooms in the back area of the labs...shooting practice.

Corrack: "Cyrus, do you think they will try anything?"

Cyrus turned around with his magnum pointed at Corrack. Laser site switched on and targeted on his head.

Cyrus: "If they do...you know what will happen. Boom!"

He made the sound of a gun shot and smiled at Corrack. Corrack smiled back and loaded up his Assault rifle. They set off, the sun casting elongingated shadows across the woodland floor. Cyrus looked up and saw 3 figures on the hill top. The orange sun behind them beginning to set. Corrack could see a hudded figure all hunched and on either side two fit dark figures. Crossbows strapped to their waists. Cyrus walked upwards towards the 3 figures with Corrack behind him.

Cyrus: "So...are you...the master?"

The hunched figure whispered something to the figure on the creature on the right. Dazzt stood on the left watching Corrack and Cyrus. The other creature repeated what the leader had said to Cyrus.

Creature: "I am Kehl, i will be the masters speaker as he does not wish to speak to you low lifes face to face. For creatures of your ranking it is a sin to look at him in his face. Anyway. The master says you have immense power and destructiveness. He says he can sense it and see it in your soul, the master wants to know if you want a allience, a friend in this impecable time. He says you have been shunned out of society like us, we have a common enemy...would you like to join us?"

Cyrus eyed Kehl, wondering if he was telling the truth...The creature whispered in Kehls ear once again. And for the second time Kehl spoke for him.

Kehl: "The master says he is telling the truth and that you haven't got anything to worry about from us, you should be more weary about your friends actions"

Cyrus turned around to see Corrack getting anxious and fidgity.

Corrack: "Cyrus...something is coming, i can feel it!"

Cyrus: "Shut up...you fool. You could get us both ki..."

The screeches of Scrabs had made him stop in mid sentence. Gun shots echoed. Kehl un-holstered his gun and aimed it at Cyrus, who in turn reached for his gun and aimed it at the master. Soon all 4 creatures had weapons aimed at each other. Dazzt had his crossbow aimed at Corrack who had his Assault rifle aimed at the master also. They were in a stail mate (Or whateva u call it).

Master: "Stop...put down you weapons..NOW!

The master hissed this and glowing beams on light shone from the dark cloaked hood. The weapons dropped to the floor and Cyrus stepped back his eyes Black. But before the master could utter another word Scrabs were pouring from the wood, screeching and hissing and heading straight towards them. Corrack picked up his weapon and shot at the horde of Scrabs stampeding towards them. He felled one Scrab but another 10 took its place. Soon all of the creatures were shooting but they knew they were going to die if they never ran. So off they set...running as fast as they could, shooting behind them. Since Corrack had the heaviest gun he was lagging and was been gained upon by 2 Scrabs. Dazzt turned around and hissed at the Scrabs pushing his arm forward. The 2 Scrabs flew backwards a couple of feet and rolled across the ground. Cyrus also span around and fired a couple of shots killing one Scrab. The Scrabs were gaining fast the choices were running out...do they shoot or do they run?

(If some info on here was wrong...sorry, u can carry it on)

[Darksider]

Suddenly, another figure appears over the ridge. It is Draj, the Dark One master.

Draj: FOOL! BLOOD KRYE INCOMPETENT!(OOC:now he starts doing a possession style chant, but these are the words)lunos runo mannas lions tantas lios tantalios Kil'Jaeden!

The giant daemon looms over them, and the Scrabs let out something never heard by any there, save Draj. A scream of total fear.

Kil'Jaedon: huhahahahaha! die, scum!

A giant, burining sword appears in his hands, and the weapon is like a thunderbolt, cutting apart all things in it's path, including many trees.

Draj: you forfeit your right to conduct this meeting, Blood Krye. You are too arrogant. These creatures are my honored guests, despite what i told Dazzt to tell them. Go back to your master, and send my extreme wishes of punishment for you to him also.

Corrack: who're you?

Cyrus: you must be the leader of the guys we just talked too.

Dazzt: he is Draj, leader of the Dark Ones and master of the armies. Also, he has the sense of humor of a Scrab.

Kelh(OOC: SHE is a FEMALE!): we welcome you to the camp of the army. You will be the honored guests at a celebration tonight in honor of the destruction of this village.

Draj: now, you must make me a solemn promise. Otherwise, i just may let Kil'Jaedon loose. Tell noone that there are others like you. NO ONE! In two days time i will send you off into the forest with Kelh and Dazzt. Bring back all of your kind. But tell no one at the banquet that there are more of you, or your lives and mine are over. And to answer your question, your guns will be almost as usefull as a stick in there. The Blood Kryes in there just have to say "DIE" and you will drop dead. You must NOT tell anyone. Now, go wash your guns and yourselves. Savagery is part of the dress up, so deck yourselves out in your most bloody and gruesome dress. I will see you at the party. Kil'Jaedon, you are dismissed.

Draj leaves, and Kelh steps up to talk to Corrack.

Kelh: put your damn gun away, I wont kill ya' and neither will Dazzt, even though he had to act weak around you so you wouldn't know our power. He would rather kill Draj right now, but he'll calm down by the feast. Now, go do as Draj said. My matey here'll accompany you.

A big, muscular elum steps out of the clearing, signaling them to go. Cyrus and Corrack follow to wash themselves, clean themselves, and ready for that night. As they walked away, they heard Dazzt yell

Dazzt: The feast will be in the Mage Tower in two hours. Late is dead, so be on time!

[Zoolag]

They were getting ready for the feast in a nearby hut. They had taken off their jackets to reveal their pale white skin. Their bodies gleaming in the moonlight. The bones of their spines just showing out of their skin. Corrack and Cyrus were much alike. Except Corrack did not all the scars on his body like Cyrus did. He beared them unwantedly but felt that he had to. They fixed plumes into their hair and drew marks on their bodies in blood. Black blood. Corrack shook his head from side to side and growled a purr like growl. Corrack was a strange looking Orkhid. He had the looks of a feline and his body was almost feminine. Yet he was agile and a dangerous hunter, he would kill without warning and mercy. His black hair was always tied back until this night were he let it down and run down his back. The music began as the party started. (OOC: Music from "Sorceress' Parade in FF8, if you haven't head it, its good). Cyrus stepped out of the hut first and smelled the air. It was filled with blood. With his black metal staff folded and strapped to his waist he walked among the creatures to find his place with the master. Corrack had wandered off to a crowd of Blood Kryes hearing laughing from these creatures. He pushed his way through to see a Mudokon native on the floor coughing up blood while Kehl kicked its stomach. She was vicious and pure evil. The creature had begged for mercy but every time it had opened its mouth Kehl had kicked it in its stomach. She noticed Corrack watching and bowed her head. She starred at the beaten creature and rose her hand upwards. The Mudokon rose off the ground slowly, she then moved her hand to the left sharply and the Mudokon went flying through the air onto a table and crashing down unconcious on the floor. Corrack smelled the fear of the Mudokon and his eyes turned black with pleasure.

Corrack: "Thats some very impressive stuff you have learned to do there."

They moved through the crowd of Blood Kryes and towards a long table with a impressive array of food, Mudokon natives were serving it just like their slave counter parts. There at the top of the table sat Cyrus and the master. (OOC: I have no idea wot Blood Kryes look like so cud u give a description in your next post plz). Corrack and Kehl joined them, soon after followed by Dazzt. Corrack was sat opposite Cyrus and Kehl was sat opposite Dazzt. Screeches could be heard from the burned out buildings. Natives who had been captured looked glum and edgy. They tried to do everything to perfection hoping that they would not be like their friend who Kehl had so viciously set about. As the courses were being served music from the Dark ones began to get louder. Corrack had noticed something about the leader, something he found puzzling enough to ask him.

Corrack: "You...and your kind seem to look like them" He pointed to a Native Mudokon "But you skin colours are black and your powers stronger why is th..."

Before He could finish his sentence the screaming of a Native Mudokon could be heard from on of the huts. The screams were accompanied by the snarling of beasts and in the shadows of one of the gutted houses Cyrus could see a Slave being dragged away by Kryes. Cyrus sighed and realised that once that had been him...he had been assaulted and beaten by his superiors. As the screaming died down Draj spoke up.

Draj: "You wanted to know why we are different? Because we know powers of darkness can crush powers of good. Look at this place" He turns his head to have a better look around "It used to be populated with them, they used to run this village as if it was some sort of good refuge. But now look, its been burned to the ground...heh, heh, heh. Our forces have destroyed this small pathetic village and taken as many Natives as we can..."

Cyrus excused himself from the table and got up. Corrack looked at him suspiciously wondering what he was about to do. He followed him with his eyes and watched him as he submerged into the shadows of were the Mudokon had been dragged away. When he was out of sight he got on with eating his food.

Native: "Cough, Cough...p-pleash, dont hurt me no more...pleassh"

The Native had, had its jaw broken...blood was pouring from its mouth and it looked in severe pain. the Kryes were just starring down at it looking curiously at the heap. Cyrus had a flashback...his commander beating him and making his pack laugh and join in. Cyrus growled and walked forwards, he pulled out his staff and it unfolded autimatically. The metal shining in the night sky. This drew the attention of the 2 Kryes and they stood in a offensive position, eyeing him up watching what he was about to do. But Cyrus had no point to fight them, he wanted to put the creature out of its missery...and thats what he did. He walked up to the sorry looking Native and raised his staff. Bringing it down sharply on the Natives head there was a crack as the skull splintered. The body was now dead and Cyrus watched as its soul dispersed into the night sky. The Kryes watched and hated him for this, their game destroyed by a pathetic lowlife. But Cyrus did not care and as he turned his back on them he then placed his staff back in its rightful position and went back to the party...
