Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah, went through my old pms and found some chunks of a story crossover me and yuetchi tried about a year ago.





Vuxron couldn't help but panic at the sight of Adakor's demise through molecular desconstruction, it made him worry if the same were to befall himself. Not to mention the unknown abomination approaching in the distance of the void. He was suspended, unable to go anywhere, until he heard that voice in his head again.

Vuxron...

Fear not this place... this space between spaces...

I shall protect you from here, my child...

Vuxron gulped and tried to calm his breath as he focused on the voice that was supposedly the voice of Baragon, his creator, his god. He tightened his grip on the crystal shard in his hand, and shut his eyes. "Arahk Hyi, Baragon..." he mumbled in Aetrokite and reopened his eyes, his thougths clear.

Simply will yourself towards your escape... a new door has opened for you.

"What door?"

A door within reach, to your escape, to life, away from the madness that has befallen your people, mine and Krinnon's creations.

Just as the echoes in his head faded, Vuxron saw a light in the distance, amongst the chaotic array of colors and emptiness, was an opening, much like the one he had entered. He ran through the thoughts of what Baragon had told him. "Will yourself towards escape." he said to himself and glanced back to the beast, now only much closer, and far more grotesque. Ignoring the fear, he turned back to the light and reached his hands out toward it. He could feel warmth, no, life, returning to his entire body, as the light somehow grew brighter, and appeared to come closer. Within immeasureable moments Vuxron could see through the 'door' to a new place, nothing like Aetrok, facing him. Before he knew it, he was there, in that new area. Vuxron blinked and glanced around. He spotted the rip in space behind him, slowly closing. Behind it was the monster that was so desperately trying to catch up for some unknown reason. Within seconds, the portal, and the monster, were gone.

Vuxron, you must protect me, as I have protected you. Allow noone to use my power for wrong. Protect my core, and all shall be saved.

"But where am I? What must I defend you from here? Baragon? Please, answer me!" Vuxron queried, still confused. Having all of this happen so fast... it was almost too much to take in all at once.

He simply stood there, looking like he was talking to himself amongst the ruin of the cities. He stood out completely, light blue skin, emerald green hair, topaz eyes, and golden armor. He did not care if he was alone, he wanted to know what was going on.




The sound of firing in Distrct Three was clear. Not a gunshot kind of sound, but more like an energy ray. They were much worse than the primitive guns of the past anyway, especially for the soldiers to bring down demons with. Three soldiers, all pursuing one girl. Her short cut blue hair barely moved as she ran, her purple eyes scanning the area ahead of her at all times. She barely broke a sweat running from these guys, perhaps the furry tail and ears at the top of her head that were coated in black fur gave away why, much less why the soldiers chased her.

Yue Ethereal was wolf demon. Only demi-demon, half-demon, but she had traces of demon, which meant she had to be eliminated. What a day to choose to take a stroll through the forest districts... She thought with a frown. She was notorious to the soldiers though for being a difficult target, and were soon to find out why.

She skid to a stop too suddenly when she snapped back to attention and realized she was running right for a man who suddenly appeared in her path, out of nowhere. "What!?" She stopped, her shoes scraping against concrete as she lost her balance and collapsed to the ground painfully. The three soldiers all stopped and took aim, the middle soldier taking aim at the strange man. "s**t! Hey, don't just stand there!" She jumped up and grabbed his arm, yanking him and her out of the way just as the sound of three guns firing sounded and a light filled the small spot where they stood. The soldiers shouted for her to just stop and give up, then prepared to take aim again. "I don't know who the hell you are, but these guys are shooting at you too, so help me take 'em out." She told him, her tail flickering.




Vuxron was startled at the sudden gunfire, but nonetheless, if soldiers were attacking someone like this, and him, there was certainly going to be some problems for them. He took in a quick breath, seemed to go into some kind of 'zone', and stood back up. In not even a split second he made a quick hand motion and what seemed to be a silver and crystaline foriegn rifle materialized in his hands. Vuxron quickly took aim and pulled the trigger only once. A light 'hissing' sound echoed from the gun, and just as quickly as he fired, one of the soldiers collapsed, completely limp.

He wasn't done yet though.

For a moment, his mind went back to the Rokada war... be quick, and be merciless, they deserve no mercy for thier betrayal and cruelty towards thier own kind... echoed those old thoughts.

Vuxron simply dropped his rifle and let it hit the pavement with a clang, and recklessly dashed towards the remaining two soldiers, his left arm aimed to act like some battering object. Just as before, somethat had materialized. It was a golden shield, and it was placed in front of Vuxron as he ran, to cover his body from any fire. he ran straight forward and rammed right into the soldier, knocking him right over, and then followed up by whacking the third in the head with a swing of the shield.


The second soldier he had rammed into hit the ground hard. Even Yue winced as she watched him. "Wow." She blinked as the second soldier struggled to get adn reach for his gun. He pointed it at Vuxron while the man beat down the third soldier, but was stopped.

Yue kicked at his wrist, breaking it. The man shouted as the gun flew yards away and he groaned in pain. She gave him a sharp kick to the helmet, and he was knocked out completely. She huffed once, then brushed herself off. She stepped back from Vuxron, not really sure about him. The soldiers only attacked him because he was in the way, and sure, he had fought off all of them, but in this place, it was hard to know if you could trust a stranger who just appears in the middle of nowhere. Her ears reamined up, as she alertly stared at him with a frown on her face. "So who are you?"




For a short moment Vuxron said nothing, still in his zone. Then, he finally calmed, and his shield dematerialized, as well as the rifle he had dropped earlier. He looked towards Yue with some interest. She certainly was something he had never seen. " I am Vuxron Karikkache of Aetrok. Who, and what are you? And where am I?" he answered, only to question her.



Yue put a hand on her hip and examined him. "You seriously don't know?" She asked incredulously. She'd never heard of this Aetrok place, and his name was definitely beyond foreign. "You're in Kithic, District Three. I'm Yue Ethereal...Uh, what is...Aetrok?" She asked, confused still. He seemed lost, despite his looks. She could tell in his words. "Wait, what am I? Wow, you really aren't from around here. Either that or you live under a rock. I'm a demi-demon. Wolf demon, to be exact."




"Kithic, District Three?" Vuxron said at first, trying to get used to the sound of it. "Aetrok is my home, the birthplace of the Aetrokites, my people." he then changed the subject. "I guess Professor Nith's expeditions did not reach this far from our world..." he thought out loud.

"I digress. Now, I must ask you, Yue, what is a demi-demon? And what is a wolf demon? I know not of such things." he then questioned once again. She looked oddly similar to a hybrid of one of the species of wildlife back on his home world. Strange enough, her skin tone was nothing like the ones he'd seen all over Aetrok. This intrigued Vuxron all the more.




Meanwhile, on Aetrok....

Morinach Temlar was far beyond furious. The Coliseum was in chaos, the guards were frantically swarming the area in search of Vuxron, and the high council was already approaching him.

"What just happened!?" Temlar shouted.

"It appears Vuxron has escaped from his confinement, and his execution..." answered one of his guards.

"I know that, you dolt! But, how? Adakor made sure he was weak enough so that he could not break free. "

"Perhaps he had planned something out. Just in case." Commander Tagenio added, still looking down at the calamity. "You may know him inside the cities during the war, but I knew Vuxron on the battlefield firsthand. He's more than crafty. That's how he and the elites dealt with Aleshar."

"Perhaps, but nonetheless, Adakor followed him, and still has not returned." Temlar sneered, just as the high council was within earshot.

"You do know the meaning of this, Morinach Temlar."

"Yes, I know! Keep the gateway open. We'll send some 'reeducated' Rokada prisoners in after him. Hopefully we'll have our little traitor back where he belongs." Temlar retorted, growling a little under his breath.

This was going nowhere near according to Temlar's plan. Vuxron was supposed to have been executed, and the secrets of Temlar's experiments would have been kept safe from the public, and the council. It was bad luck enough that Vuxron had attempted to reveal them after realizing that Temlar was secretly following in the footsteps of Aleshar, and THAT would have lead to his own banishment.



Yue sighed. "All right...um..." She was thinking of a way to explain things. "Let's get out of sight first." She grabbed his arm and guided him out of the open space, ducking behind the ruins of what must have been someone's home years ago. She sat down on some rubble and sighed. "Let's start over. I'm a demi-demon. That means I'm half demon. A mix between human wolf in my case. Now, a wolf demon is a person born with wolf DNA in their blood. They have human appearances, but can switch between that, a full wolf form, or this." She pointed to herself. "A semi form." She lowered her hand to her lap and her ears and tail disappeared. "But I think I get your confusion if you're really not from this world at all. But I have to say, that's some bad timing you have. This world's not exactly the safest place to be if you're any kind of demon, or someone from another planet, like yourself."




Vuxron nodded a little at the explanation, grasping the concept, but as for the danger, he was not afraid if his enemy were soldiers like that. "My world was at war recently. So speaking of not being the safest place does not phase me at all. I've seen the deaths of my comrades, and many, many others. Back on Aetrok, one of our greatest leaders, Morinach Aleshar, went corrupt, and sought to use the powers given to us by our gods to break the boundaries of other worlds, and enslave them. We were lucky enough to overthrow and banish him to the wastelands where all heretics and major criminals are sentenced to die in. But he was resilient, and somehow rallied up the assorted "Rokada" and attacked the main cities." he explained as well.

"That very war ended only a year ago, after many years of strife to our people. Never in our history have we had to kill our own kind to preserve the greater good." He went on, starting to seem less and less in control of himself. "It even claimed the lives of my best friend and younger brother. If what you are dealing with here is some type of war, then I may help. I do not wish for others to suffer like I have. There is much more I have to tell, but if we are still not safe, I suggest we make haste, and go somewhere far safer."



Yue nodded. "Well, from what I saw, you can take care of yourself pretty nicely." She said, looking him over before making up her mind. "You wanna help, huh? Well, I can explain the situation more to you, but you're right, we have to get somewhere safer first. I know just the place, but you have to stick close adn watch out for any more guards on out way, all right?" She looked around first, then stepped out into the open and beckoned for him to follow. She thought maybe if she took him to the camp she was heading to anyway, maybe the leader of the camp would take an interest in his help.


Vuxron nodded silently and followed, only very low 'clank's coming from his golden armor as he went. Hopefully it wasn't enough to be heard, unless he went into a full sprint. As he follwed Yue, he took occassional glances around to help get used to his surroundings. It must have been either luck, or Baragon watching over him, because there had been no signs of any other soliders yet.

Some small sights reminded him of parts of the war, ones he didn't wish to remember. Memories of aftermaths of Rokada raids on some of the outlying cities on Aetrok. The only thing that seemed missing were some differences in architecture, and the mangled and disembodied corpses of Rokada soldiers, Children of Baragon soldiers, and even innocents.

He tried to dash that thought away. This was a new place, he needed to keep an eye out, and defend Baragon's core at all costs.


Yue felt it was best to talk quietly to distract possible questions of the various noises that now surrounded them now that they tred through the forest districts.

"So you have any idea how you got here? I mean, besides what you already told me?" She didn't want to be too specific, like what he was even doing here or how it all happened exactly. She knew better than a lot of people here that everyone in this land had to have their secrets, which was actually why she preferred being by herself most of teh time. Secrets were fine this day and age, but it made people hard to trust. She'd traveled alone ever since the world had gone to the dogs (dogs being the soldiers and Sgath at the moment) and the demons started getting picked off. To this day no one could pinpoint the true reason that explosion triggered, the one that upset the earth so much it turned itself into this. Nothing natural could do such a thing, barely even something man-made.

She puched the large branches and leaves out of the way as she led the path. There were beasts in the forest. Half demons too, but they could be just as dangerous of gone feral to their more animal side. Those she could handle with her unusually authoritative glare, but the beasts wouldn't be so reasonable.




"Sort of. It was very strange." Vuxron started, his eyes still darting about. If something were to attack, he would not hesitate to use his shard rifle, or even his sword, which was hidden from sight.

"Before I came here, I remember trying to outrun someone who should have been dead. He caught me and managed to knock me out. Next thing I know I'm chained up, and about to be executed in the very place that I swore to protect. Honestly, it was a miracle, but somehow I managed to break free and escape through the dimensional rip that was supposed to be my prison, and my tomb. After that, I ended up here." he answered, leaving out many details.

His enemy, Adakor, a Rokada General, was killed far before Aleshar's defeat, but somehow, he came back from the dead, and that's when Vuxron knew of Temlar's betrayal. After the deaths of his fellow elites, Vuxron had been captured by Adakor, and was taken to the collesium to be executed. He was supposed to have been tossed into the void, and sealed away, just like Aleshar. But, the Aetrokite god, Baragon, would not allow it. He instilled some of his power in Vuxron, and helped him escape through the void, and took him to Kithic. From there, Baragon had to take a physical form of a crystal shard, and now is in Vuxron's possession.



Yue still looked straight ahead, wary. "Sounds like you got into some deep trouble then. Can't say it's much better that you ended up here." She sighed, stopping for a moment when a scent caught her nose and a distant noise reached her ears. "Hold it for a moment." She said, holding up her palm to stop him. Though she showed no signs of being ready to fight. The scent in her nose was a familiar one.

Rustling could be heard, and beasts and half demons scattering as if something was prodding them away to make teh area safer. Two appeared before Yue and Vuxron. "Yue." The stoic one spoke up first. She was actually a human. Not a rare sight by itself since humans were the only safe race on this planet, but a rebel human was what made it rare. A shifter, though. The girl was able to touch an object and make it change shape. Yue nodded. "Trice. Kit." Trice seemed to be the quieter one. The other next to her was grinning, her own features besides the long brown hair and hazel eyes revealing she was also a wolf demon. "Who's he?"

Yue looked back at Vuxron. "He calls himself Vuxron. Helped me get rid of a few soldiers when I was heading over here earlier. He doesn't seem to be a threat. To us, anyway." She added. He was a threat, but hopefully only to their enemies.




Vuxron stared for a short moment at Kit and Trice. One looked similar to Yue, well by his standards, since she had those ears and tail. While the other... looked more like him, aside from the skin and hair color differences. He tired to look less serious and ready to kill whatever came lunging out from anywhere, and more on the friendly side, smiling a little, and relaxing just a tad. "Fate smiles on us today. I've been brought here from a place unreachable by the people here, to help." he then stated, sounding almost like someone religious. Well, he was, but his religion was unknown here.





However... Vuxron's thoughts of being safe from the madness of his home, were quite mislead. A group of Rokada soliers sent out by Temlar were now looking for him... and they weren't going to let him live, now that they had just emerged from a portal similar to the one Vuxron arrived through.




"Are you sure he'd be in a place like this?" questioned a single Rokada soldier.

"Most likely, he did escape through the dimensional rip. Anyways, Temlar's giving us a second chance, even after the war we started. I say we find Vuxron and kill him." answered another.

"Both of you, shut up and get moving! We're wasting time." shouted a third.

There were about ten soldiers total, clad in what looked like silver armor. Each held a different weapon, most held rifles almost similar to Vuxron's, while others carried what looked like crystaline or golden spears, swords, or other melee weapons. They simply wandered through the area in one big group, on alert and ready to gun down or hack apart anyone unlucky enough to cross them. They were in somewhere entirely alien to them, and they trusted noone but themselves.



There were actually eight soldiers surrounding a full demon in the path of the foreign soldiers that now marched through the land. None of the humans nor part demons dared try and figure out who these strangers were, but the appearance of their own more familiar soldiers also frightened them. "L-leave me alone! I've done nothing wrong!"
The lead soldier scowled and kicked the demon hard in the stomach, causing him to curl up on the ground, then pressed the barrel of his gun to its head. "Doesn't matter. You have done something wrong. You existed." He said before pulling the trigger. There was a high pitched brief sound and the demon was dead with a clear and clean hole in his head. "Clean this mess up." He said to two other soldiers, before turning when he saw movement. A group of...soldiers? But they were foreign, not of this land.

Meanwhile, Trice looked Vuxron over. "...Follow." She said simply, turning and expecting the small group to do just that. Yue nodded, and motioned for Vuxron to follow her and Kit. Kit seemed curious about Vuxron, but said nothing. It was Yue who spoke up. "Kit's jus ta friend of mine. Trice works as the rebel camp's 'right hand man' as you would say. She seems unfriendly, but she's loyal." She explained as the silent human led them. The area was starting to look more and more clear of heavy forestry, as if now traveling a path that was very familiar with travelers. "I come back to this camp every once in a while to rest up when I travel...sometimes I help, but I don't like considering myself a concrete member of the rebels..." She said while staring down at the forest floor.




The very moment the Rokada soldiers spotted the other group, they all at once aimed thier shard rifles at them, or took fighting stances. They were silent, and simply stared. Until...

"You think they're from here?"

"Quiet."

"Look, theres a corpse... they apparently killed something... or someone..."

"I said Quiet!"

*Shik!*

Once that sound echoed, one of the other soldiers fell over, limp, and in fact dead, with a very strange looking crystal spike sticking out his his head. It turned out that one of the Rokada soldiers had panicked at the sight of the dead demon and opened fire. Of course, it created a domino effect, and a fight broke out. The remaining Rokada opened fire, or charged in with thier weapons ready to impale or hack away at limbs or vital body parts.



Meanwhile, Vuxron simply nodded at Yue's explanation as he followed. "When are we going to meet with the leader of this rebellion? I'll need details from them on what I'm up against. It may even help tip the scales in your favor if we are dealing with tyrany or some kind of genocide." He then questioned out of the blue.



Yue frowned. "Tyranny or genocide...in a way, once you know, you'll think it's both." She commented absently as they ducked under a low branch. Trice stood aside. There was a large clear area with several large tents and small buildings that were surprisingly well built for being in hte middle of a forest. There were numerous types of people walking around, of all sorts of breeds, and a small river that led to a pond nearby. Trice nodded to Yue. "I'll go get him." Trice left them and disappeared into a large tent. Yue turned to Vuxron. "She's going to get Shane, the leader of this rebel camp. There's a lot of rebel camps around, but his is the biggest that's managed to stay alive and untouched by enemies." She explained. Kit tugged at Vuxron's sleeve. "C'mon, let's go present you to him." Both girl led him closer to teh tent and waited. Eventually, the entrance opened and Trice walked out, and stood aside to let another person leave teh tent adn stand in front of Vuxron. He was the same height, wore light armor on his biceps and triceps, had a sword on his belt and a crossbow on his back. He had dark blonde hair and his green eyes examined Vuxron carefully. One wouldn't think of him as a good adversary because of his light build, but his muscles were carefully hidden thanks to his half demon blood. A rare sight, a dragon demi-demon. Most of his kind were killed off first in fear that they would retaliate sooner and beat down the soldiers. For now his human form hid any of his race except a dragon amulet around his neck. "So this is our new guest. Escorted by our older guest." He then smiled. "Long time no see Yue." He looked at Vuxron again. "I'm Shane Oliander, leader of this camp. And you are?" He asked, holding out a hand in greeting.



"I am Vuxron Karikkache, once co-leader of the Morinach's Elite Guard of Aetrok. Pleasure to meet you." Vuxron answered all at once with a small smile, and went to shake Shane's hand quite firmly. Shortly after, he stepped back and used his right hand to make some kind of Aetrokian symbol. "Where I come from, this sign I make with my hand, is one of fellowship towards comrades in times of war. I apparently was brought here by a twist of fate to help this world, although mine has fallen into madness." he then explained. "From what I've gathered, there is some kind of tyranny and genocide amongst the races. It reminds me of what happened to my people, and I do not wish for others to suffer what my people have suffered. I wish to learn of this world, so that I may become of better use to you. If there are any credentials, I can offer my Aetrokite battle strategies and fighting arts, if not try and supply you with weaponry." he then went on.



Shane smiled. "Yue, since he's your guest, come with me. You as well Vuxron." Shane led them both into the large tent and motioned for them to sit in the seats provided. He sat in the one in front of those and sighed. "To begin with, you sound more than qualified. We mostly accept any help offered, as well as provide protection to any refugees and demons that wish for our help, let them stay here. So a truly qualified fighter may be a large help. Let me explain mroe thoroughly our situation." he cleared his throat. "It's not only genocide and wrong, it's the ultimate form of hypocrisy, you could say. See, Earth was once a habitable and wonderful place. Humans and we demons coincided either openly or in secret, wherever it was socially acceptable. Evil demons were cast out by an organization called DCS, Demon Control Squad. No human knew of it, it was an underground police-like place. However, activity and help from them gradually slowed to a stop and mroe demons ran rampant. Apparently they took on new leadership from a man named Sgath. Not a man, per say, but a full demon who claimed he'd do good. He lied. No one knew what sort of experiments he was keeping secret, nor why he did it. But he started reprimanding demons that did nothing wrong." Shane seemed somber. "The most unexplainable thing in our history now, is what happened short years ago. A massive explosion in the center of an American city called New York. It destroyed the city, and reeked of magic influence. That wasn't the end of it. Nature became upset with the very event. Natural disaster rocked the planet, everywhere. The rubble you see everywhere now? It was all once housing and buildings. Now it's just what you see now, all over the place." She stretched his back. Yue sighed and spoke up.
"You see, we're not only trying to protect ourselves against DCS's intentions, but we;re also trying to figure out what happened in New York that day, what caused it, and what exactly DCS is up to behind our backs."

Shane nodded. "To make matters worse, they're progressing. Lately they've been kidnapping half demons and demons for something or someone. They usually just kill on sight. So taking us prisoner rightfully is starting to raise suspicion. Recently we've lost two extremely important camp members to them too, taken instead of killed. I'm worried about their well-being, and I do wish to get them back as soon as possible. But, the danger lies in teh mission. One would have to infiltrate a minor headquarter's dungeons by letting themselves get captured, and try to locate them. Yue so far is the only one who's volunteered to go, because she knows the prisoners personally." Yue nodded. Shane continued. "The headquarters located near here is in District Ten. Nine and Ten are districts we tend to stay away from because of heightened number of soldiers and security."




Vuxron seemed to be quite serious once Shane began to brief him on the situation so far. He remained silent until the end, and then decided to speak up. "That does seem strange, since they even fired at me with intent to kill. But nonetheless, having just one volunteer is not enough. I could accompany as well, just to tip the scales in our favor. Plus, they know nothing of me, and will not know what to expect." he then commented. "However, since they're taking prisoners out of the blue, we don't even know what to expect if we were purposefully captured. It could be that they are simply toruring, maybe interrogating, and possibly even executing. Or, perhaps, using them for something else. It'd be difficult to tell. Back on my homeworld, the Rokada leader used very many experiments on his own soldiers and captives. From my experience, it's just a hunch." He then finished for the moment. He fell silent once again, thinking and calculating possibilities. He wasn't the co-leader of the Morinach's Elite Guard for nothing. He had actually devised the plan for the final assault for the war where he came from. At the moment, though, he was simply going over the information he had. "I could use an Aetrokite tactic, but it may be too soon to use it here... plus there's the process of teaching it..."



Shane thought about it. "We've got little time to go on. If your guesses are anywhere close to right, we won't have much time before it may be too late to get our allies back. That's why I won't be sending Yue alone. Backup is around, hidden in case they're needed. If you really do wish to go, here." Shane handed him a small black and round panel with a single button. "Distress signal. It can only be hard by those equipped with the receivers, which would be backup in this case."

Yue spoke up. "I'm infiltrating them by letting them take me. Once we're in, we have one of hte captured to help us. She was one of the soldeirs once, but she turned over to us when she realized they were planning on executing her anyway. They said her loyalty was questionable simply because she didn't agree with what they were doing. She knows the layout of the dungeons and can help us get out. Backup is there in case we're found." She smirked at Vuxron. "Their leader isn't at that particular base, so I wouldn't worry about being overpowered. I'm capable of more than you know, and I've already seen a bit of what you can do." Yue's right hand absently moved over the back of her left wrist. it was already dovered by her sleeves, but it was an unconscious habit from what was located there, embedded in her skin. "So are you really in?"




Vuxron quickly took what was handed to him and without even making any motions, let the object suddenly dissolve in his hand. It was an Aetrokite thing, a way of storing trinkets or weapons in a pocket dimension inside his armor. He simply nodded at the other information, and replied with a simple "Yes."





Meanwhile... what remained of the Rokada soldiers wandered on, coming dangerously close to the rebel camp. However, there were a few missing, since their little bout with the other soldiers earlier. About three of them had been split off and were somewhere else to cover more ground.



Trice walked back into the tent, muttering something about soldiers. Shane frowned. "Soldiers...apparently they look nothing like the soldiers we see everyday." he said, looking at Vuxron. "It'd be best if you and Yue left now. You won't be any help if these newcomers strike and kill any of us before you leave." Shane sighed. He'd have to fight with his team on this one. Trice stepped back. "Get our fighters rounded up in case these guys are dangerous."

Yue stood up. "All right..." She looked at Vuxron. "Ready to get out of here?" She asked. "Remember, we have to get ourselves kidnapped, but not all the soldiers are going to be willing to simply take us. The minute it looks like they're actually trying to just kill us, go all out." She explained as she tugged on his sleeve and got him out of the tent. She grabbed a silver gun, her gun that she kept at teh camp just in case, and kept it on hand. "Let's go."




Vuxron froze for a moment, he got a strange vibe once he noticed that Trice was looking at him when describing the enemy soldiers... First before he even bothered to respond to anyone else, he started to look far more serious. "If they look sort of like me, be on your best guard. They're probably soldiers from my world. They may even be after me. Use anything you can for cover or protection, and aim for vitals. Armor will need something either very strong or very sharp to get through, and I mean it. If they come in close, be cheap when fighting them, they'll be tough." he then gave as advice. He then turned to Yue and nodded, and then went off with her. There was some definate adrenaline pumping through him right now, just thinking that Temlar managed to get this far after him with anything.


Meanwhile the Rokada soldiers already were curious, venturing closer and thier weapons still at the ready, more than paranoid from thier encounter with the other soldiers.



Trice nodded. Yue motioned for him to follow her as she went the backway, around the lake behin the camp. "Stay close, I know these forests pretty well so I can get us around where your stalkers seem to be." She said, looking around. She sniffed. She could smell the unfamiliar scents of each soldier, using that to make sure she couldn't possibly run into any of them. She moved swift, avoiding tree branches and roots, sometimes slowing to make sure Vuxron was still there. Personally, she was grateful to have extra help. No one else was completely willing to go on this mission, so he came at just the right time. And he'd already impressed her with how he fought off those soldiers that were chasing her down. In a matter of minutes, they were past the soldiers, and out of the forest. She looked around. No soldiers yet. "From here we take a route towards the more dangerous districts and keep an eye out for soldiers. We want to let them see us. It kind of goes against what my nature tells me to do, fight or run, but unfortunately, that's how we're going to get to the others."

Meanwhile, Shane, Trice, and several others had equipped themselves for battle. Shane motioned for them to keep still and for Trice to remain behind him as he snuck a look at the curious soldiers. Everyone in camp were no hidden or in tents to make it look as if the camp was momentarily empty. Shane watched them, the group a good distance and still. He was waiting for some sort of opportunity, literally letting the soldiers wander onto the camp if they were really that curious. Shane eyes changed, irises filling with black as he remained on edge.




Vuxron stayed silent trying to go through different strategies and scenarios in his head. Of course being in war before he took things like this more than just serious business. However once he caught sight of enemy soldiers he almost went into his 'zone' once again, but had to actually stop himself before rushing in. "To our left..." Vuxron merely hinted to Yue, trying not to show that he had seen them. If anything, he'd make it look real if they were going to be caught.

Meanwhile...

The Rokada wandered right into the camp, poking around a little, mostly wondering why this place was empty.

"I don't like the feeling I'm getting here..."

"Hey, there was a fire here, the spot's still kind of hot."

"Eyes open, they could be right on top of us."


One Rokada soldier had enough courage to even look into one of the tents, and just as he peered inside, that's when all hell broke loose once again.

The Rokada was shot right almost at point blank, and fell backwards, however, he wasn't dead. His armor saved him, even though there was a rather large dent/scorch mark where he was hit.

The rest immediately went on high alert, and even a couple started to open fire at the tents, mostly from paranoia and panic.



Shane suddenly made the signal and leaped out into the open, right in the middle fo the panicked soldiers. "Hey guys." he said before spinning and shifting his form. He grew in size, and his body changed. A long tail whipped out, knocking some of the soldiers into each other, and a trail of fire hit the soldiers opening fire on the tents. The dragon growled and beat his wings, creating a huge dsitracting gust of wind as Trice adn the other fighters jumped out and attacked the soldiers. Trice grabbed a soldier's sleeve adn his armor wavered, shifting into several snakes that hissed at the man they wrapped around. Others shouted and fired at the soldiers or jumped directly at them. Fighting dirty wasn't something one had to worry about in a camp full of rebelious survivors. One man jumped out with a longsword. He swung, creating a spiral gust of energy that knocked two soldiers off their feet before he leaped at them and forced his sharp steel point through the man's head.

Yue nodded, smelling a hint of them in that direction. "They'll Spot us. Everyone else is hiding, so we're pretty obvious." She said as she tugged his sleeve to get him to start walking again. Movement made one of the soldiers turn. Another shouted for them to stop, and Yue heard something fire. Suddenly, the soldiers were on them. But what had caught them wasn't a bullet, but a net. It fell around Yue and Vuxron, meant to restrain them. "Hey! One of these guys is that guy reported a while ago! The girl is that irritating brat we've been after for weeks!" Yue growled. Irritating brat? But she simly scowled at them as she struggled a bit, but otherwise submitting to the net. The soldiers grinned, glad they caught two potentially dangerous rogues. "I bet if we brought these two in, we'd get quite the reward, huh?" They laughed. Another soldier aimed a capture gun at Yue and Vuxron, creating energy bonds that held their wrists behind their backs like ropes.
