Tremors across the Dojo - Volcanic Escape

[Shine]

Sanders hurried over to where Coolpikaaa had crashed. The drazilim had filled him in on what "Borg" were, he could see that several of the implants seemed to be falling off of the pikachu. Maintaining a safe distance, he called to Coolpikaaa

"Are you alright? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

-----------------------------------------

Whiteoak continued down the street, following after the police officer, heading towards the police station.

[Coolpikaaa]

Although most of the borg parts were failing,and some even falling off,drone 4 of 8 was determined to make it to the generator.After moving to a somewhat standing position,4 of 8 kept on marching ignoring the person asking if he was ok.The only thing stoping to drone was the fact that every few step it would fail and flop back into the sand.

[the Drazilim]

"Move aside, Sanders! Be careful, he's dangerous"

Called one of a group of 10 worker drazils who were running towards 4 of 8 with a large semi-metallic net.

The two who have dactyl wings, blast/soared into the air lifting one end of the net, others held the other end, while others took up positions to surround the Borg-achu.

The attempt will be to capture it in their net.

The Drazilim have encountered the Borg before, and have a large Magnetotron on their home world, which can "remove" all borg implants and nanites. Drazil physiology can regenerate fairly succesfully after this ripping removal. The expect Coolpikaaa should survive too.

[Coolpikaaa]

The net trapped 4 of 8 and he just gave up.Most of the borg parts were now lost in the sand and the hold on the mind was weakining in larger gaps.

The being known as 4 of 8 had lost,and every borg part right then just stopped.Coolpikaaa was weak,but now in control.

[Kat_05]

Still around the ship, Kat decides the pause is a good time for a head count.

"Alright then, everyone still alive?"

((Sorry all, it's hard to decided when to post in this thread and I managed to lose track of the last time that I posted ))

LITTLE SISTER - Frozen North

Switching across to her glowing Red Eye so that she could see better through the icy winds, Little Sister took a break from her relentless assault on the intruders to face another one. She let out a shriek as she mentally yelled at the creature, hoping that this would freak the annoyance out and make him leave her alone.

~Get lost Kumo, I'm too busy to bother with you now!~

((Little Sister has never met Kumo Scary before, and only knows her timid male mirror counterpart, Kumo Jinrui, who's generally a cowardly nuisance to her. ))

HOLLOWEYES - Black Forest

"Last I saw of the Jaws of Despair they were sealed away in their charm and left behind in the Corrupted Cave." HollowEyes glared towards the ground, not at all pleased with the idea of Kiri joining them but not willing to show it either. "I'm not the only one in the multiverse who can make something like that, Kiri."

Though he really didn't like it, HollowEyes knew what he had to do. For now, he'd have to focus on the problem at hand - shut down the generators, save the Dojo. He was deeply concerned about Addman's possible murder, but if he let that get to him he'd most likely turn on the only help he had out here. Even if Kiri and/or EnD did plan on betraying him, all HollowEyes had to do is keep a watchful Third Eye on them and he'd be fine.

"The volcano is probably our best bet for now." The Parasitian said, finally ready to speak up. "It's the most likely source of tremors around here, and even if there's nothing up there it'll give us a good vantage point to scope out the rest of the Black Forest." He thought for a moment, it was a fairly solid plan, but something seemed off, as if he was forgetting something...

"Oh, wasn't Shadow following us as well?"

[Panther385]

Maybe we should make some kind of cookie monument in the Cave...

The dragon pushed the thought to the back of her head. "I didn't smell him..." Kiri shrugged as much as her species could, and flicked her gaze towards the volcano. "I can fly you to the volcano, if you want. It took me less than an hour to fly here from the Wilds."

Not the only one that can create it... Thought she, returning her eyes to HollowEyes. "On regards to what you just said, what creatures can create the Jaws? Or is it something that can only be done by your species?"

[3kul]

"I don't think that flying is a good idea personally, since if the generator or whoever's running it is up there they'll most likely spot us before we spot them." HollowEyes thought aloud, momentarily forgetting about the small reptilian tag-along. "It's not that difficult a climb, and we might end up finding something on the way up if we're lucky."

Kiri's question struck HollowEyes as odd, though most people found his charms and magic arts to be curious, they rarely showed interest. It made for a pleasant change. "I wasn't really getting into specifics, I just meant that, if they knew how to, anybody could make something like that." He thought for a moment, as if he wasn't sure how to continue, before he eventually spoke again. "It's not that they couldn't do it, but it's definately something that a normal Parasitian wouldn't do. I suppose if it were a well-known art it'd be forbidden."

[EnDSchultz]

((I suppose a post from Addman here would be of great value. You know, just stumbling out from behind a bush or something...))

[Shaon]

Hmph.

... wait, did she call her Kumo?

~How annoying, Youngest. You can't even spare some time for your superior? I'm insulted.~

((Scary is assuming that LS is a youngest, a minion of the mirror kumo team.))

[addman]

((Ever so sorry, totally lost the plot in this thread. Did TROT ever get back to me about what happened when Addman tried to leave? Since I can't find a recent post by him, allow me to enter back into the fray))

Black Forest

From the foliage up ahead of the group, a familiar person stumbles out. In his hurry, the muppet trips over a protruding root and lands face first in the mud with a dirty splash. Looking up at the group through muddy eyes, Addman gives them a slighty pathetic grin.

"Miss me?"

Standing up and trying to brush his filthy fur down, Addman looks over to the newcomer Kiri, confused why she was there, but also relived that such a powerful beast was with them. Regardless, he decides he owes the group some sort of explanation.

"Those imps took me to a cave nearby and treated me like a king. For some reason, they got angry when I tried to leave, so I slaughted them all. I also picked up this neat gizmo!"

Pulling something from his back, Addman produced a Plasma Rifle out of seemingly nowhere, and fired a couple of rounds into the air for effect.

"Sweet huh? So, what did I miss?"

Frozen North

Ace, with Kiba's aid, managed to stitch up the wound caused by the hairy spear. After thanking the furry creature for her help, Ace packed away his equipment and began to tense his limbs, as though testing to make sure his body still worked. From under the cover of the ship's boarding ramp, Ace shouted to Kat.

"Kat, what is the situation? Are we still under attack?"

[EnDSchultz]

EnD stares blankly at the muddy furball.

"But....you.....I.....uhhhhhh....."

was all he can manage to sputter out. He continues to stare, bewildered, before coming to his senses (or not...) and giving Addman a hefty smack on the head.
"The hell are you talking about?? We're on a mission here! This is no time for.....Do you have any hint of the scare you gave us?? Ahh, nevermind."

He takes a few steps back and collapses at the base of a tree. If anything, having been responsible for the death of the SiC would have shattered his pride less than finding out he was under the illusion that he had done so. Having absolutely no idea what to say, he just waits for HollowEyes to speak for him.

[Panther385]

"I see." Kiri replied, pondering the Parasitian's information. Before she had time to sya anything else, Addman stumbled out from a bush. The dragon donned an expression rarely seen- mouth slack, eyes wide- surprise.

"Wait...Your corpse... is..." She gestured to the body of the SiC, and looked from the living Addman to the body.

[3kul]

((No corpse Panther, as was previously established ))

SILK - Frozen North

Finally hitting the cavern that hid the Generator away from the rest of Blackstar, Silk went to work on it it. For some unknown reason, she seemed to have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the device, using multiple strands of hair to work on several parts at once.

LITTLE SISTER - Frozen North

~What?~

Little Sister's teeth cracked rather viciously as she heard Kumo's response. If she hadn't been able to regrow them or totally about to explode with rage it probably would've hurt a lot more.

~Kumo, you are without a doubt, the weakest, dumbest, most pitiful excuse for a lifeform I have ever had the extreme misfortune of having to talk to for more than 30 seconds. It's only because I can't stand your girlish screams that I haven't torn you to shreds now, so why don't you just shut the hell up and freeze to death.~

HOLLOWEYES - Black Forest

HollowEyes was totally dumbfounded. Only Addman could appear to be murdered, spend hours being lavished with attention and then hours later reappear totally fine and blissfully unaware of what had been going on. All whilst slacking off on a mission that could affect the safety and well-being of everyone in the Dojo - including the Evil Council. Not having any idea of what else to do, the Parasitian simply breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's... good to have you back Addman..."

It was immensly relieving to know that EnD was not a murderer... Though could this mean that Kiri too was not working against them. HollowEyes wasn't quite sure what to think, but knew a very quick way to make sure who here was telling the truth.

"Alright, let's get started on climbing the Volcano, but first..."

Opening his third eye, the large pupil began to focus on Kiri. "Kiri, why do you want to know about the Jaws of Despair so badly?"

[Panther385]

((Oh... well... uh... erm... Take this Brain Bleach and forget about that, yes? ))

Kiri's ears flattened against her head.

His Eye? What...?

"I was trying to think of a way to defeat the Jaws that have become sentient..."

I suddenly feel like I'm being interrogated.

"...And simple curiosity."
