Corporate Development

[Micheal_Rawlings]

The Day was young, and the petty forest creatures were going about their business, oblivious to the approaching danger.

To the south, Hoove beats could be heard approaching. Then, from the trees, Crystaline Horses, made of Amethyst, burst through, spitting light bulbs on their way through the forest. Where ever a light bulb landed, it would break, and the surrounding area would catch fire.

On one of the lead horses, a Man in a business suit rode, on his saddle it simply said "Under Development by The Corporation"

No one knew were they had come from, but one thing was certain, The Corporation was out to destroy the Dojo.

[Embri]

Embri laid back her ears, irritated. She had just settled down for a nice nap after a full meal of sautéd owl when the ruccus began. What on earth was all that noise? It sounded like a herd of animals, and the distinct crackle of wildfire.

~Natural disaster, perhalps?~ Embri took wing, leaping to the sky for a better look. Below her, a strange group of horses raced across the Wilds.

"Hrrrum, now this is worth a look." Embri glided down towards the amathyst horses and their strange leader. Landing in front of them, she announces;

"I afraid this area is already taken. Please move on somewhere else. While I appreciate the landscaping, your disturbing my sleep."

[Guest]

Spam watched the horses. They were doing a crap job of destroying the place. He had far more destructive plans for this dojo, but for the moment, he would wait... He opened a pack of pretzels while he waited, he always had a pack on him. This was no exception, many wars could be lost if the fighters went in on empty stomachs. He would not lose, if one were to come about...

[Micheal_Rawlings]

*The man quickly gave his horse a "woah", and stared at the flaming Unicorn that was now speaking to him*

By whom? You and your merry band of freaks? There are no humans living on this land, and as such, no one owns it. Therefore, the Corporation is taking it over, and intends to learn the secrets of it's space-distortion technology. Now, if you don't mind, My machines here have a forest to clear.

*with that, he rode on, leaving the ever growing forest fire in his wake*

[Embri]

"Oooh, call me "freak" simply because I'm not human?!? I asked nicely; playtime is OVER!"

*Embri was furious, her flames building from red orange glow to brilliant white.*

"Let me just put a little crimp in your party, then! WILDFIRE!" With a roar, walls of magma erupt in around the amathyst horses, fencing them off from the rest of the forest. The groud begins to steam, crack and heave, the very rocks and earth turning to magma. Craters and fissures begin to open up, radiating out from the flaming unicorn.

"Got any idea what happens to rocks and machines when exposed to the plasma heart of a sun, human? Your kind upsets the Balance far too often; it will be my pleasure to restore it today."

[Micheal_Rawlings]

That is what you would think, freak. But we at the Corporation have already gleamed some technology from this wretched place. And if you will, i'll make my exit.

*the guy then holds up his arm, which has some device, punches in some keys, and promptly disappears, leaving the forest fire raging*

[Danikat]

*Veamoth was crusing above the forest, exploring this new area of territory when he came upon the trail of destruction left by The Corperations forces. Whilst he was certinally not opposed to either fire or collateral damage the widespread devesation of the forests awoke deeply embedded instincts the dragon had not previously been awear of*

*Circling about the fire the great dragon quickly identified the source of the destruction. Clearly these things were using fire as a weapon themselves, so fire was unlikely to do much to them. Ice on the other hand...

Folding his wings the dragon dove towards the horde of amythest horses, just as one of the leaders dissapears, blasting them with a wave of freezing air. As it passed it froze water molecules from the air, creating a rain of hail in its path*

~*~
*Back in the city of Psycotopia Danikat felt a sudden, inexplicable wave of rage and fear wash over her and after a moments thought traced its source back to Veamoth*

Danikat: Veamoth! Whats going on?
Veamoth: Enemies, the destruction of the forests. I fight!
Danikat: Arian....?
Arian: I'm afraid I can't tell you much. Team 4 were the only ones in that area. But it seems theres an army out in The Wilds, lead by a human who doesn't think much of non-humans and intends to take over.
Danikat: Wonderful. Alzaranth? Would you be so kind as to give me a lift?
Alzaranth: On my way.

*A moment later the gold dragon appears above Danikat, who flies up to meet her. They pause to get directions from Veamoth before dissapearing between to reappear close to The Corperations trail of destruction*

[Angel]

*Red feels her HeartSisters fury and her eyes burn white. she shoots into the air and follows the plume of smoke rising from the forest. she swoops down to hover above Embriand takes measure of the situation. making a quick decision, she pours her own blackflame into the mix of churning magma and plasma. the long black tendrils work in pairs to lift up the horses and try to tear them apart*

[Sephirothsicase]

*A ball of black smoke rises in the sky, a pair of pitch black leathery wings snap out, the smoke expands slowly, it dissapears slowly revealing a man in a red cloak, his silver hair gently blows in the wind, he smiles revealing pointy vampire fangs, he reaches inside his cloak and draws out a rather cruel looking dark blade, The Crescent Blade, he slowly descends to land gently near Embri, he laughs evilly as he touches the ground*

Haha, Looks like you guys started the fireworks without me...

[Leporidae]

Ramset jumped out of a pile of leaves he has been plotting in. "Unhuman? Hmph! How rude." He climbs up a tree and readys a hand grenade. He throws it at the horses and yells "RUN!" Ramset jumped out of the tree and started to run to safty. (I didn't post if it blew up or not. Ramset ran away before the hand grenade blew up)

[Embri]

"Welcome, Seph. Just in time for the fireworks, as always."

Spotting the onrushing dragon not a moment to soon, Embri sprints away from the center of the whirling fountains of destruction as frigid hail pelts her path.

"It's about to get a whole lot colder!" Embri calls back over her shoulder.

~Irritation, tinged with fear of icewater~ She sends at the dragon.
~Reserve your fury for (thought-feeling - those who consume like Thread) instead of (thought-feeling - those who fight for protection of nature). The Wingleader is gone.~

Racing clear of the dragon's attack path in mere moments, Embri turns and surveys the situation quickly. Fueled by the super heated lava, the forest fire is spreading, and quickly. Embri leaps skyward, drawing on her mastery of the winds. Gently, soon with more force, a stiff breeze encircles the blazing ground, folding the fires back onto themselves. With every rotation, the gale picks up force, smothering all but a few pockets of flame. Satisfied, Embri surveys the ground below for any sign of the purple crystal horses.

[LordPsycho]

As the smoke clears, it becomes appearent that the extreme heat coupled with the rapid cooling did not do wonders for the horses, which now lay in several thousand pieces each, shattered where they stood.

The red mist decends, the coalesses into a solid form. It is DP, but it is not. Instead of his black hair, it is now a gray. He is missing his cloak, and his black shirt is now white. His Camoflauge pants of old are still present, but now features urban combat colors. He still holds his armband on his left arm, his sheath containing all his weapons on his right. Most dramatic and noticble were his eyes. Once they were a glowing red, but only under his hood. Now they glow in daylight, and a cool ice blue.

"They are vanquished by your combined efforts," DP proclaimed, examining the shards," But their presence is bad, bad news. These horses were replicas of a stolen one, mine in fact. I had been working on these...monstrocities while I was still of the EC. Now these...punks threaten to use them to destroy what I have made for you. For Corporate Development non the less."

Sensei quickly arises from examining the horses' remains, then dramatically turns to the forces gathered to the defence of the Wilds.

"There are rules in play that I do not wish to explain right now, but forbid me in taking care of this matter directly. And the mission is going to be dangerous, oh so very dangerous. They already have demonstrated the possession of several Psychotopian technologies: From the horses to the Warp portal armband. Who knows what else they have! But each of you has chosen, in one way or another, to make the Dojo a home for yourselves. So the question is, who will rise to the defense of the Dojo? "

The Sensei then waits to see who will respond to the call to arms.

[Sephirothsicase]

*Seph's aura grows red, likewise do his eyes, his wings snap out of his back with a whip-crack, he slowly raises a sword*

I myself will fight and die for you, because i was late for the helping of first...

And yes i will die...time...and time...again....

[Leporidae]

Ramset runs back "Aw man! My hand grendade didn't go off! Anyway, I would like to fight, but I wont unless I can have a shoulder to ride on. If I don't then my chances off death will be humongusly high."

[Angel]

I will fight!
*Red draws her swords and kneels infront of the sensei*
my blades are yours
*she rises and steps back to Embri*
