Sasha

Jacob · #1 02-12-2002, 12:21 PM

(OOC: Yup...the infamous Sasha is back (Lets all cheer and whoop for her gorgeousness) K...so i haven't done one of these in like aaaaaaaages so bare with me.)

Sasha looked at her prey through her hair. It was gleaming in the white moonlight, its blackness seemed to glisten and hide her dark, black eyes. She had been assigned by the Orkhid race to obtain their kin from a Slig prison. She had a photo with her of the person she was looking for, the Orkhid leader had told her to be quick and sharpish...they were rumours that the prisoners were to be moved and executed near a Scrab territory. Possibly to make it look like a accident, as the higher-archy Glukkons didn't really want to be associated with murder...especially when their higher personel wanted to see them first. She quickly set the photo in her boot and drew one of her guns. Sligs were patrolling the outside of the compound and she had to get by them one way or another. Slowly she stood up, just enough so she could get a clear shot at one of the Sligs, but not enough so they could see her. Gently she screwed the silencer onto the gun and took aim. A sinister growl rumbled from her throat as this silent assassin took aim.
*Bu-doosh*
The bullet hit the un-weary Slig in the stomach. The other 2 Sligs who were on shift with him at the time went along with their nightly buisness, unaware that one of their kin had been taken out. Sasha snarled again and ran forwards...taking aim on the 2nd Slig as she did...another couple of clips got shot at the next target who was easily taken down in a spatter of black blood. Now there was one more...one last security guard to take care of...but where was he? The moonlight was enough light for her to see...and yet there was no trace of life anywhere.
*Click*
The sound of a gun being cocked behind her made her turn around quickly. And there it stood...upto her chest with a gun pointed to her head.

Slig: "Freeeze!!"

Sasha smiled...she had been in worse predicaments than this. She looked the Slig up and down...looking for a weakness. None.

Slig: "Put down your weapons..."

It barked its orders with bravery and yet...stupidity. Sasha lowered herself to the gound...gently moving her armed hands to the dusty dirt path and dropping them.

Slig: "Heh-heh-heh...Now turn around!!"

It motioned with its gun for her to turn around so she had her back to him. She put her hands to the back of her head and awaited the next orders of the Slig.

Slig: "Yeh...we have a hostile...looks like a Orkhid breed but with subtle changes...yeh...yeh...we need someone out here more or less straight away..."

It seemed as if the Slig was on the radio to its collegues. Which kinda spoilt the whole element of surprise. She sniffed the air...the smell of exhaust smoke was coming from nearby yet she didn't hear any movement from vehicles.

"They must be getting ready to depart"

Sasha thought to herself. Realising she didn't have anytime to spare Sasha dropped to the ground, bringing her hands forward to cusion her fall. She flipped herself around so that she was on her back and facing the Slig before sweeping his robotic legs out from underneathe him. The Slig tried to fire but instead fumbled with its weapn before dropping to the ground hard.

Slig: "Help...Help...!!"

The Sligs screams were high and corse. Sasha raised her left leg in the air and brung it down on the Sligs head. A repulsive crack informed Sasha that she had succeeded in killing the creature. That and the fact a pool of blood was oozing from its mouth. She quickly flipped herself back up on her feet and picked up her guns. She had to get to the convoy before it left...which she felt was going to be very soon.

(OOC: Sorry if its not as good as the others...could you inform me if its good or not? I'll be doing the 2nd part later on.)

Jacob · #2 02-13-2002, 01:46 PM

(OOC: I got bored so i thought i'd do the other part to cure my boredom.)

She quickly ran towards the compound, putting her pointed dragon-like ears to the wall. The sound of metallic feet clanking on the ground warned her that back-up was coming. She quickly and carefully ran around to the other side just in time to see a armoured vehicle pulling out of a garage type entrance. She holstered her Uzi' and quickly pulled out a magnum that the Orkhids had supplied her with. Supposedly it could stop anything from a Vykker airship to a herd of Scrabs.
*Click*

Sasha: "Time to test this thing out..."

She cocked the gun and took aim, aiming for a blacked out slit on the front of the vehicle.
*Boom*
The recoil of the gun nearly made her drop it to the ground, but thinking of the money she would make accomplishing this mission made her keep a firm grip on it. The screaming from inside of the vehicle and the smell of fresh blood was enough to tell Sasha she had made a hit. The vehicle seemed to stop but then started reversing away from her. She took aim again, this time lower down, hoping to hit the controls.
*Boom*
Smoke came from the hole she had just made and she saw some flash' from the dark slits...indicating sparks. She ran to the transport and went towards the back of it, locks haunted the two back doors...making it impossible to get access...well...nearly impossible. A couple of well place shots made the doors come open easily and she slowly opened them up. Immediatly gun fire greeted her from one of the Slig guards inside. While it fired it called for help...something it was going to get soon as Sasha knew that Sligs were on there way. She pointed her gun round the corner and shot madly, hoping to hit something which wasn't included in her mission. A short scream indicated a hit and she climbed into the convoy. Looking down she saw the Slig lying on its back, holding a bloodied wound. Smiling she gently put her boot on the creatures chest and pushed hard...breaking its ribs which then punctured its heart and lungs...killing it instantly. She turned around away from the corpse and looked at the cages, only two was occupied. One contained the creature she had been looking for and the other contained a Mudokon. They both looked sad and depressed but Sasha did not care for the Mudokon. She crouched down near the cage, the Orkhid looked at her suspiciously...probably wondering were she got such a powerful gun from.

Sasha: "Here...its in your dialect...read it through and give me the answers it asks for..."

Sasha handed the creature a small box type thing. It was flat and had printed writing all over it...in a language she did not know.

Orkhid: "I do not know you...i shall tell the others when i get back safely."

Sasha: "I have strict orders to retrieve the infomation and tell the elders. You can tell who you want...but you are not getting out of this cage until you tell me the answers."

Orkhid: "Then fine...you will have to wait here."

Sasha smiled and grabbed hold of the Orkhids neck through the bars.

Sasha: "No...i will not have to wait here...cos...you are going to tell me...and if you dont...i will just have to do something you could have stopped me from doing."

Sasha poked the gun through the bars and settled the nozzle on the creatures groin. She smelt its fear and licked her lips.

Sasha: "Well...?"

Orkhid: "O-ok...he's dead. Tell them he's dead and that i am the only one left. The others were executed by the Glukkons...some took elsewere. I am the only one left...the only one who knows about the happenings back at Py..."

Sasha: "You sure...?"

Sasha interupted him sharply...she was running out of time and needed to be out of there quickly.

Orkhid: "Yes...i'm pos..."

A gunshot stopped him in mid-sentence. Sasha stepped back, blood was pouring from the hole in his stomach...he gasped and looked at her. She aimed the gun one last time and shot, making another hole in his chest.

Sasha: "Good."

She nodded approval and turned to the Mudokon who was now looking at her in pure fear.

Sasha: "Did you hear any of that?"

The Mudokon shook its head from side to side quickly, backing away to the cage wall.
*Boom*
Blood trickled from the creatures cage and Sasha dived out of the convoy and headed towards the woods post-haste. Gunshots behind her made her run faster and the ground spat upwards as bullets hit the surface. She turned one last time, looking at the Sligs as they monitered the damage before disapearing into the woodland.

(OOC: NOW THIS IS WERE YOU TELL ME YOUR OPINIONS...please!!)

Teal · #3 02-14-2002, 07:19 AM

Opinions? Why should we give YOU opinions when no-one else gets them...? j/k

...

Hm. Question One: Does anything much apart from much killing and shooting happen in this; question two: what the hell is an orkhid, apart from a pretty flower growing in tropical rainforests, and question three: what exactly is Sasha?

There, I'm done now.

Jacob · #4 02-15-2002, 06:24 PM

Sasha walked down the long dark corridor. Lights flickered on and off and sparks came from the wires covered over with a grating. Orkhids whispered as she walked past and backed up against the wall allowing her by. She finally came to the main hall. It was very large and spacious, plants were placed next to benches to give it a comforting feel. Which was destroyed by the troopers patrolling the area with their sub machine guns and tight black armour. They all had their visors down so no-one could see their faces. Looking up she saw the blue sky through the glass ceiling that seemed to be miles above her head, a flock of birds flew by and Sasha remembered the feeling of air under her gracious wings that were now carefully tucked away. She shook away the thought of flying and got back on track...the mission was more important...the money that she will get from the mission was more important! She slowly walked forwards and came to the reception, it was a large semi-circular concreate desk attacked to the wall. A young woman was sat there typing on a keyboard quickly. She looked up sharpishly, her white eyes piercing Sasha'

Receptionist: "Yes...you would like what!?"

The woman brushed her dark hair off her face as she asked.

Sasha: "I'm here to see Iraxx...he's expecting me. I'm Sasha."

The receptionist smiled quaintly and typed furiously on her keyboard.

Receptionist: "Ahhh yes. Here you are...the Commandor is awaiting your irrival...go right on through."

Sasha turned and went through the door. The door buzzed and a humming sound came from the sides. Wondering what it was she made her way forward cautiously. Another long corridor greeted her with two large doors at the end...each with a guard at the side of them who was staring straight ahead. She gradually made her way further down...admiring the marble floors and walls. This corridor was alot better kept than the previous and the lights were working fine. As she neared the two guards at the end opened the doors for her...again visors covered their face.

Iraxx: "Ahhhh...Sasha...i take it you have fulfilled our requirements?"

He was at the end of a long desk, on each side sat a Orkhid in the usual higher archy gear. She figured this was the Council. Iraxx was stood up with his arms open with a big smile greeting her, his clean shaven face glistening in the light that shone above him. He was wearing a black leather trench coat with a red coller. His whole body was basically masked in black clothes which matched his ear length black hair.

Sasha: "I have...now...i want payment."

Iraxx stepped around the table and made his way forward. Still smiling in his sickening way.

Iraxx: "Now, now Sasha...we dont pay straight away. Our breed is faaar too cautious...paranoid some might say. We need proof. Now...tell me...how do we know you have completed what we intended?"

Sasha smiled and threw the box with the infomation down on the desk.

Sasha: "His fingerprints are all over it...now...payment."

One of the councel members picked it up in a gloved hands and sniffed it. Nodding he slowly reached back and gave it to Iraxx.

Iraxx: "No need...by the looks of it you have done what has been asked. Now...what did he say?"

Sasha: "He said he was dead. But i dont know who 'He' is."

Iraxx: " 'He' was a member of our clan who lead a rebellion against us. He left with a group of our kind, eager to show their power to us so they could gain some recognition for their work. By the looks of it...they failed."

Iraxx chuckled darkly before looking back up at Sasha.

Iraxx: "Now...your payment."

Iraxx reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a handful of money.

Iraxx: "This should be more than enough..."

Sasha reached out a hand and felt immediate pain in her neck. A screech erupted from her vocal cords and she dropped to her knees. Again another sharp pain seemed to wrap its coils around her neck.

She slowly turned her head around and looked at what was going on. One of the guards from the door had a cattle-prod to her neck and was digging it into her. Realising that the cattle-prods stun wasn't working the guard rose it in the air and brought it down...making contact with her head. Sasha grunted and then dropped lifeless to the ground. She couldn't move...all was black...and all she could hear was echoeing voices. Then...silence.

Iraxx: "You IDIOT!! If you have killed her i will personally make sure you are exstinguised!!"

Iraxx bent down and checked the bodies pulse.

Iraxx: "Good...she is still alive. Now go and make yourself useful and take her to the labs. But try and be a little more careful with her this time."

He turned away from the Guard as he picked up the body and dragged it to the door. Raising his arms in sheer glee Iraxx addressed the councel.

Iraxx: "Now my fellows...we have the first piece of the puzzle. All we need now are the other pieces...obviously. Give me at least one week and we shall have the infomation that, that bastard traitor stole from us."

One of the councel members stood up sharply.

Member: "But ve do not know vhere to start...vhere did he go vhen he left vhe base!?"

Iraxx: "We have reports that say he went towards the un-chartered territories...and other reports that say he went towards the villages...one name that kept popping up was Pyke. But it seems far to primitive for the likes of Cyrus...but it is worth checking out i suppose. Gather your men...we're setting off in a week."

Shrykullmaster · #5 02-15-2002, 07:35 PM

cool story so far

Un-Amused · #6 03-17-2002, 03:56 PM

Sasha opened her eyes slowly. Dr's were busy droning around her, talking in dialect she could not understand. Their faces were covered in white cloth (Like the people in Marilyn Mansons 'Dope Show' video). Blood spattered their white clothes and they wielded sharp scalpels. A chuckle escaped ones lips as he walked over to Sasha who was hunched in a small cage. He knelt down and looked at her, putting goggles on his eyes that seemed to emit a blinding light.

Dr: "Come on ickle one...come on."

He put his hands through the bars and rubbed his index finger and thumb together...like you would do to attract a cat. Sasha snarled and swiped for his hand, missing as he pulled back sharply.

Sasha: "Get away from me you piece of shit...!!"

The words seemed to be barked out and her eyes narrowed. The Dr stood up and walked to a table which was lain with metal instruments, turning to one of the windows that was a good 7 foot above the ground he shouted:

"She is reluctant...we shall proceed anyway...bring in the prods...let us start"

He turned to Sasha again, this time holding a sort of gun...electricity zapped from the end. The sound of the gun echoed in her ears...and the sparks...the sparks just mesmorised her....

(OOC: Sorri...i cunt b arsed to finish it off...)

dark_xinos · #7 03-18-2002, 01:23 PM

Hey, let Jacob continue the story... J/K!!!! (i know...)

Sylvia · #8 03-19-2002, 07:30 PM

This is good. BTW, Jacob, do you happen to have a picture of an Orkhid? I'd love to see one in a picture.

Jacob · #9 03-22-2002, 08:33 PM

(OOC: Orkhids are like humans, but possess more strength and such like. They are not really classed as trustworthy characters by the Glukkons and more like 'Animals to make deals with'. More power hungry than the Glukkons and with the ability to destroy them Orkhids know they are the creatures of the future...however...as Iraxx said before...they are highly cautious...if not paranoid and so hardly ever act on their raw animal instinct.)

Sasha opened one eye...it was pointless, all that greeted her was a blurred vision of nothingness. Voices echoeing in her ears.

Scientist #1: "Have you got the sample?"

Scientist #2: "Hold on...extracting it now."

Sasha was strapped down to a cold operating table having blood removed from her arms via syringe. No anthaesetic meant the pain was excruciating for her...but no sound came out of her gaping mouth. Disguising the voices footsteps could be heard, Sasha tried to look around but as soon as she moved her head to one side her eye seemed to close. She moved it back to the usual position and her eye opened again.

Iraxx: "You found out what it is yet?"

His voice was deeper than usual...and he called her 'It'. He seemed to say it in a manner which disgusted him.

Scientist #2: Extracting the identification fluid now, sir!"

Iraxx turned to the creature in sheer puzzlement.

Iraxx: "What!?"

Scientist #1: "He means DNA."

Iraxx nodded and motioned with his hand for them to hurry up.

The Scientist seemed to scuttle across the floor and place the syringe in a glass case in which lowered into a metal work top. Holograms with status infomation got projected in mid air. Details about different species got shown on screen and flicked through them every mili-second. After going through all the pure-bloods it came up with 3 matches, one of which was classed as 'unknown'.

Scientist #2: "Sir...this is what it is."

Iraxx stepped closer and stared at the hologram.

Iraxx: "Shit...a f*cking cross-breed...f*cking useless to us now!!"

He spun around and walked towards the exit.

Iraxx: "Incinerate it!"

Scientist #1: "Sir...ma-maybe it isn't useless after all. You say its a cross-breed...well...the Vykkers pay highly for new creatures. Maybe we co..."

Iraxx halted walking and replied over his shoulder.

Iraxx: "Even Vykkers dont touch cross-breeds...can mess around with their chemicals that they inject into the poor bastards or sumat."

Scientist #1: "Do we have to tell them it is a cross...?"

Iraxx: "Heh...good point. But what about the deta..."

The Scientist interupted with Iraxx' most favourite words that day:

"We can fake them...."

Jacob · #10 03-23-2002, 09:05 AM

Iraxx was sat on his swivel chair, his feet up on his mohogamy desk and a bluish light shining down on him from the back of the room. He was on the phone with one of his commanders.

Iraxx: "Uhuh...well...you know what to do, get them equipped and make sure they are highly trained...what?...why?...i'll ask them, and try to persuade them to agree...thats all i can do...no...no, i cant force them to can i?...Im only a low rank compared to them...ok...ok, i'll put the argument across...yeh...right...im gonna have to go. Yeh...seeya!!"

Iraxx pushed the little comms button on the side of the dark-red box and the signel was cut off. He rubbed his face in his hands and yawned. The troops were kicking up a fuss about rumours going around about the un-chartered territories and such like. They wanted weapons that were for the Commanders and Generals, said they were for "The un-expected". A low growl came from Iraxx and he brung his feet to the floor and stood up. He knew that the Councell would only except to giving guns to one or two platoons and that the other groups would have to go with their usual array of armaments. Muttering to himself he walked up to the comms unit again and dialled in a few buttons.

Iraxx: "Hey...anyone there?"

Receptionist: "Yes sir, what would you like?"

Iraxx: "Bring me up something to eat, would ya please?"

Receptionist: "I'll be right on it, sir."

The line went dead and Iraxx slowly wandered over to his cabinet of factual books, which ranged from tactics to winning a great war to biography's/autobiography's on some of the greatest warlords there was/is. He ran his left index finger along the spines of the books that were neatly lined up, alphabeticly.

'AbinoÃ©: The Warrior' , 'Aelikle: Greats like us' , Albinos and their strengths' , ' Aquistions' , 'Aquiall: Animal by right?' , 'Arranged Wars, how they ended' , 'Arranged Wars vol II: How to do...' , 'Assassins' , Atr...

Iraxx halted his scanning of book titles.

"Assassins"

He smiled as he muttered the words to himself...

Receptionist: "Sir...here is your beverages, where would yo..."

The receptionist had walked in and Iraxx span around and immediatly interupted her with the words:

"Get me the best Assassins there is...!!"

Jacob · #11 03-25-2002, 07:50 PM

Iraxx: "Chikan, Orok, Irank, Abraham, Tobias and IkÃ*...these are all you could find!?"

Iraxx flung the Assassins sheets of infomation at the receptionist and snarled.

Iraxx: "I'm supposed to be obtaining infomation and with it executing the 'Project'...How the Hell can i do this with 6 friggin Assassins!! I NEED MORE!!"

Receptionist: "But sir...these are all we could find, they are the creme de la creme of the homicidal society...!!"

The receptionist was nervous...Iraxx was un-predictable when he was pissed off, and what made it worse...was the fact his job was on the line. Iraxx stood up slowly, his gloved hand tensed and curled into a fist.

Iraxx: "Get at least 4 more...i dont care if they are top notch or maimed Mudokons...i just want Assassins!!"

Receptionist: "Sir...Y-yes sir!!"

The receptionish bowed and turned tail, running out of the room and closing the door behind her. Iraxx turned and walked over to the comms, pushing the button he spoke into it gently.

Iraxx: "Fax me the infomation about that project...the plan is in motion."

(OOC: Could i have opinions now plz)

Al the Vykker · #12 03-25-2002, 10:46 PM

good story so far Jacob! Welcome back

Jacob · #13 03-26-2002, 09:02 PM

Sasha snarled. The scientists had injected her with a chip that halted her speech. All she could do was bark and snarl, and that did no good as it made her seem more animal like.

Scientist #1: "The specimen is there...take her, but be careful...we would not want this new breed being damaged now would we?"

The scientist patted his fist on the top of Sasha's box-like prison. She only had a cage at the front that allowed her to see anything, so long as she was heading in the frontal direction. Interns had trudged upto her compound and started to pull it out of the holding compound were all creatures awaiting execution/transportation were kept. The other animals howled and barked...Sasha looked at one of the Interns, its stitched lips seemed to form a smile, before it turned its head and looked to were the cage was being pushed. At the end of the hall shone a big light, practicly blinding. She pushed her left ear to the side of the wall, to try and listen to convosation...it had gone. The scientists had obviously stayed in the holding compound...discussing what to do with the next poor bastard. Finally Sasha's miniture prison made its way into the light...all the sounds around her faded...all sights blinded by the white. And then, out of the light came the face of the most loathed creature on that planet...a Vykker. Its eyes hidden by green-goggles that allowed it to zoom in on its experiments, and its spindly arms waving about exitedly. The claws held two syringes...one full of blue fluid, another full of red.

Vykker Dr: "Ahhhh...my latest new patient. Now ickle one...what would you like...the acidic solution first? Or the Sionide one?"

A laugh escaped its pursed lips as the Red filled Syringe came through the bars and injected Sasha in the neck...the pain seemed to corse through her blood at first...but she passed out...only when she awoke did the pain continue...

Jacob · #14 03-28-2002, 10:32 AM

Iraxx: "Now i have you all here under one roof, i shall brief your mission history and destinations..."

Iraxx addressed the Assassins. They were all stood, lined up against a wall. Their heads held high. Some of them Orkhids, some Hunters, some Mudokons and only a few Crates. Their array of weapons was just short of unique, their clothing was either ragged or proudly glistening...it all depended on which creature you looked at.

Iraxx: "A while a go we had a desserter, he took a small group of troops and they went on their way to try and proove to us that they were more than what we said they were. They tackled many obstacles and destroyed many villages...but then they halted and disapeared. Sources tell us that this was due to the fact they attacked a village by the name of 'Pyke' others say they vanished before they reached that village and some say that the village of Pyke is in the unchartered lands and has a mystical demon guarding it...obviously that is ridiculous."

He smiled coldly at his 'puppets' and handed them papers one by one, assigning them with a partner.

Iraxx: "I have given 2 of you the lands surrounding the un-chartered territory. 6 of you the land inside of un-chartered territory and the other 2 the village of Pyke. Each of you shall have a transmitter and a video cam, just incase you have anything new to report. For the creatures who are treading into the un-chartered territory, a word of advice...work together. My men have gone in there and still have yet to emerge, i dont want to lose some valuable recording and tracking equipment thanks to some imbecile Assassins."

A be-mused chuckle escaped some of the Assassins lips and they started walking towards the door. However, one of the assigned members stayed were he was. His hair was black and he had a menacing look about him, his right eye was scarred which indicated a battle sometime previous.

Assassin: "Sir...i would like to go to Pyke on my own...i believe i work better on my own and you need all the troops you can get for the un-chartered territories platoon."

Iraxx: "Whats your name...?"

Assassin: "Tobias...Tobias Arcrangle, sir!"

Iraxx: "Well...Tobias. You work for me...i pay you...you get the job done...you have no authority over me and you do not tell me whats best for the troops...i decide, and i have decided...now go and do your job."

Tobias: "But sir...if the oth..."

Iraxx cut him off by pulling a gun out on him and switching the laser sight on, the beam of red pin pointed between his eyes. Finally Tobias got the message and turned away and walked towards the door, were his new partner was waiting. A skinny dark green Mudokon with a shotgun strapped to its back was leaning on the wall listening. Finally Tobias stepped out of the room.

Mudokon: "The others didn't have Pyke, you were the only one i didn't ask...i presume you have Pyke to?"

Tobias: "Lets get one thing straight...i dont like you."

Tobias' footsteps echoed down the marble corridor, along with the eager Mudokon's steel, plated boots.

Jacob · #15 03-29-2002, 02:35 PM

The smile of the creature was the thing that seemed to make Tobias revel in killing it. Although it had always looked like that and couldn't help it, Tobias always seemed to think that Scrabs were mocking him. It was the way their mouth was formed...it seemed to go up at the sides...making it smile. His 'Partner' had just watched in a nearby tree. Sometimes shouting words of encouragement as Tobias leaped out of its way as the creature charged. The Scrab was a loner, a wanderer. As the Mud (Who's name was IkÃ*.) and Tobias were making their way to the destination given to them it had sprung out on them, nearly killing IkÃ*. Mudokons were not known for their speed and thus Tobias had ordered it to scramble up the nearest tree...that it did, with no hesitation. The Okhid seemed to enjoy this little dual, it took his mind off the forboding matters that lay ahead.
Scrabs weren't usually known for their cautious/intelligent behaviour but you usually got some bastard creature who possessed cautiousness and intelligence...they made a bitch to hunt and even the most skilled of hunters could be killed.

Tobias: "Hey...Mud...throw some twigs at it or something...i need it distracted!!"

IkÃ*: "My names IkÃ* and i dont have any twigs or stuff!!"

Tobias looked up at the creature be-mused by what it had just said.

Tobias: "Your sat in a tree...YOUR SURROUNDED BY TWIGS!!"

IkÃ*: "And your loaded with weapons...you can take it out easily!!"

Tobias sighed...it was no use. A simple creature such as a Mudokon could not know how much Orkhids liked a challenge to last.

Tobias: "Just listen to me and do something...make it take its mind off me!! At least for a second or 2!!"

The Mudokon tutted and shouted a couple of things to the Scrab, sometimes throwing a few twigs here and there and rattling the branch above the one he was sat on to make some leaves drift down. The Scrab payed no attention and was more interested in its 'Challenger'. Tobias knew this and backflipped once drawing his knife from his boot. The Scrabs front claws patted the ground, eager to take off into a sprint and yet fearful of been slashed. A couple of screeches came from its lowered head, but still no advance. They were at a stand still...neither of them moving...both of them staring.

Tobias: "Hey...icky...whatever your called. Come down here and get behind me."

IkÃ*: "ITS IKÃ AND IM NOT COMING ANYWHERE NEAR THE GROUND UNTIL THAT THINGS GONE OR DEAD!!"

Tobias: "And the only way it will be gone or dead is if you come down to the ground and get behind me...!!"

IkÃ*: "No...you can shoot it...a bullet to the head would easily take it out."

Tobias: "Then fine...you shoot."

Tobias knew full well the Mudokon could not shoot, as if he made any movement for his shotgun which was strapped to his back the branch would snap and he would fall to his death.

IkÃ*: "You know full well i cant do that!!"

The Orkhid was getting impatient and he wanted to make some progress before night fall...which was getting nearer as they faffed about.

Tobias: "You either come down of your own accord or i will shoot you down now!! You'd be safe anyway...if the creature attacked you, you can shoot it."

He was right, but still...IkÃ* was very worried...he grabbed hold of the bark and slowly made his way down the tree. Keeping his eye on the vicious monster that was currently in a stand off with his 'Partner'.

IkÃ*: "It knows what im doing!!"

Tobias: "Every creature in this forest knows what your doing, you've made a big enough fuss about it!!"

A low growl came from one of the two creatures, the Mud didn't know which and didn't really care...so long as he survived long enough to get paid for his job. His feet finally touched the ground and he moved towards Tobias...trying to keep his distance. The Scrab realised this and its eagerness to attack grew. This time it had a secondary prey, one which seemed easier to kill. The Scrab's limbs twitched and one of its front claws took a step toward the Mud. Who, by now, was looking very worried. Tobias could smell his fear and smiled.

Tobias: "Good...now your serving as a decent distraction."

IkÃ*: "Thats not funny...just hurry up and kill it!!"

The Assassin laughed and put his knife back in his boot and exchanged it for his Silver Magnum. One which was glorified by a very unique pattern on the handle.

Tobias: "Tell me IkÃ*, what would be your idea of a ideal death?"

The Mudokon's attention suddenly became split, did he keep looking at the Scrab or turn his attention to the Orkhid? Who's gun was now trained on the back of his left knee.

IkÃ*: "Er...Erm...i dunno...hadn't really thought about it...w-why?"

He was now reaching for his shot gun as he realised the Scrab was slowly but surely moving closer to him. Reaching over his shoulder he fondled the handle of the double barrel shotgun, slowly grasping it.
*Boom*
The sound echoed through the forest and the Scrab jumped backwards snarling at the Orkhid. A sickening crack followed the gunshot as Tobias' bullet shattered the Mudokons knee cap from behind.

IkÃ*: "Ahhh Shit!!...YOU F*CK TOBIAS...YOU LITTLE FU...!!"

Mudokon's dont really take too kindly to pain, and the fact that Tobias had shot one of the most painfullest regions on the body made IkÃ* suddenly want to rip his head off. Tobias' lowered his gun and nodded to the Scrab. The predator did not know what to make of this...its challenger sacrificing its hunting partner...why? The question soon disapeared out of its head as it moved forwards and looked at the injured Mud. Who, by luck, had dropped its gun and was holding on to its blood spurting knee. The jaws of the Scrab opened and violently jerked into its prey, tearing its chest open and guzzling at its, still sqirming, food. It went to take another bite and savour the taste of the beating heart but as it did another gunshot echoed through the forest and the Scrab dropped lifelessly to the ground. Twitching. Tobias smiled and holstered his gun.

"Your a good decoy IkÃ*...you served me well."

He laughed coldly as he turned from the corpses and wandered off towards his destination. Sometimes referring to the map.
