Hydrocity Act 2 Posts: 123 Group: B Rank Adventurer Member #11,368 Joined: September 1, 2010	(Please cut me some slack for this one guys, time constraints have me by the short hairs) Across the Moribund District, the sound of distant battle resonated in swift, violent bursts. The smell of sweat and fear intermingled like a great beacon to the unnatural senses of the Fleshrenders. Hoards of the beasts loomed from the blackness of destroyed hovels to fill their aching bellies with fresh meat. Their demonic grace making their jet black bodies appear to slither in the gloom. From high above, a storm was brewing in a sky that yielded no light, The Eye of Pandemonium had turned to gaze at its new arrivals, schemes seething in its powerful mind. Medici The vulture watched from her vantage point, a tall commercial building at least a kilometre from the carnage at Moribund. She knew others loomed in the nearby buildings, some a great deal closer to the fight. It was common practice for Caravanners and Survivors like herself to scavenge for supplies after the butcher of new arrivals like parasitic carrion birds. That said, as a Vulture, it was all in her nature. From this distance, she could make out a rippling haze of shimmering emaciated skin, scores of Fleshrenders rushing towards the District. She had never seen so many of them in one place before. It was unlikely the Fleshrenders would leave anything worth scavenging at this rate. She prepared her kit for the long walk home when she heard it. BOOM! The blaring noise of a horn, immense and carrying an unnaturally deep tombre that made Medici's skin crawl. The Eye is playing games its food... She watched in awe as the Fleshrenders dispersed. A shimmering tide that fled in all directions, bounding over one another in their eagerness to leave the district... Blaire The Fleshrenders geared themselves to strike the Husky, to rip apart and devour the sweet meat... as the horn blared. Its eerie keening drawing the monsters out of their hunger induced revelry, to answer the call of their master. The two beasts snarled loudly in defeat and frustration as they broke step and bounded into the gloom beyond. Leaving a startled and confused Mobian in their wake. Terrador The sound of snapping bone greeted the air as the Fleshrender was flung at a devastating speed into the darkness of the buildings beyond. Over the din of the beast being slammed into chunk of concrete, it could hear the call of its master, the blaring sound of the horn. The two conflicting pressures of the summon and the intense pain coursed through its form. Finally bringing itself upright with pain induced idleness, it attempted to lope away into the gloom on a broken leg, its twisted form contorting in the pain of every step. Josh The hedgehog goaded the Fleshrender and then simply presented his back to it. The Fleshrender brought itself up on its hind legs as it drew to strike at the Hedgehog's exposed back, preparing to draw a razor sharp blade to carve down it victim's spine. In a wave of ecstasy, the beast prepared to devour the Hedgehog's meat. That was until the horn blared. Silently, the Fleshrender pulled itself away from the pending feast and drew itself into the stygian blackness. Cursing its master for being denied the easiest kill of its life. As quickly as they had arrived, the Fleshrenders were gone, and the Moribund District fell once again into an unnerving quiet...
	The rose tinted glasses of nostalgia often hide the stupidity of prior made statements. Nothing brings this revelation about as clearly as revisiting old posts...

Just... don't go that way. Big, mean, spiky hellhounds that-a-way. Aurora gave a low whistle. She couldn't imagine something like that could even exist, but considering that the circumstances surrounding her being transported here were unusual, that didn't mean the creatures living here couldn't be as well. Aside from that, just fine. Well, a bit cold, but... Waiiiit a minute. I remember you. You were with Oakland. What's Oakland doing in a place like this? Aurora's eyes widened, recognition shining in them. "Oh, hey! You were Taylor, right? Yeah, I remember you as well. As for what I'm doing here, well...It's not something that'll be easy to believe, and I don't blame you if you don't, but I got transported here for completely no reason whatsoever." Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the air. Aurora turned in the direction it had come from, finding quickly that yet another living soul was inside this dark city. "Well, at least I won't be alone here," the canine said with a small smile. .................................................................................................................... Chester Chipston Chester was as lost as one could get in this city, which was pretty dang lost. The young chipmunk continued to walk through streets, looking around and occasionally calling for his friends. But no one answered. He tried every thing he could think of to calm himself down, including even more futile pep talks. "You know what this is, Chester? A bad dream. Soon, you'll wake up and be snug in your bed back in Oakland. Nothing horrible has really happened to you." He hung his head. "Oh, who am I kidding? I'm hopelessly lost, been stripped of my weapons, and all alone. How am I expected to make it through one day of this?" H-hey! Over here! Chester slapped himself in the forehead and let out a chuckle. "Oh great, I'm hearing voices. That must be the air from Robotropolis effecting me at long last. Well, I was already a little crazy. A bit more couldn't be...hold on a sec." The chipmunk peered closer, his eyes nearly shut as he made out the shape of a fellow Mobian, an echidna to be exact. "Of course, if that person over there is real..." His expression brightened. "I won't be alone at least! Hey! Come on!" ........................................................................................................... Blaire Fields: Slowly, without taking her eyes off the Fleshrenders, Blaire began to reach down for the pipe. "I warn you. I'm not one to go down easily. And I'll probably taste kinda cold and I don't think you two have the minds to warm up your meat before you eat it." BOOM! Blaire's ears twitched. "What on Mobius was that about?" To her bewilderment, the Fleshrenders, with a frustrated snarl, moved away from the husky and walked off in the direction the sound had come from. Blaire could only watch in confusion. "Okay, what on Mobius was that?"

And no, I'd believe you. Pretty much sums up how I'm here..." He turned towards the direction of the whistling. "But I very much doubt it's for no reason," he continued, heading towards the building he'd heard the whistle come from. "Something wanted us here. Judging by the welcome I got, I don't imagine its intentions are anything noble." He looked up at the abandoned building, at the fox in the window. "Hey, you alright up there?" he called up.
	Indeed, there is nothing more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. They are unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, veritable creatures from hell capable only of taking lives. They have no place amongst decent and honest folk.

"I'm so glad I found someone." she chimed, "One minute I was gazing at the stars with my friends and then next I knew I was here all alone with no weapons or anything in sight." Jewel seemed a little overestatic from finding another trace of life in this city. She continued to babble on, full of questions and curiosities. "I don't suppose you know where this place is or why I'm unarmed? Do you know if there are others around?"

His expression remained unchanged and still stern much like his element. He had the assumsion it was far from over. He would need to brace himself for a counterattack. He might have just angered the thing and it would most likely fight with more ferocity knowing the warrior wouldn't go down without a fight. But his assumptions were wrong as a horn filled his ears. His emerald orbs watched the hellhound retreat. "Just what was that all about?" he muttered to himself under his breath. With the threat gone for now, he dropped his guard but would still be ready for any surprises as he ventured towards the last signs of possible life; that distant whistle. With a sigh, the Geomancer was on his way.

His hand clenched to a fist as he brought his right arm back. He then moved to the side of the hedgehog preparing to strike a blow at the thing. Thrusting his arm forward he intended to make direct contact with it. the Fleshrender pulled itself away from the pending feast Feeling nothing as he striked he began to loose a bit of balance and fall forward, but he caught himself and swung himself back to regain balance. He watched it disappear the turning back to the hedgehog. "Oh i should introduce myself now that we're safe...for now. I'm Slychu." -- Relief flooded over Chiyu seeing he happen to catch their attention. He starred down at the human now seeing him more clearly. "I'm alright for now! I just think it was time for me to seek others whom might possibly be here as well!" He shouted back. He turned around looking at the stairs that barley shown in the darkness of the building. "Stay where you are; I'll meet you two down there!" Excitement pricked his fur as he quickly sped down the stairs. On his way down he misplacing his foot in the darkness and ended up falling down a few stairs. The stumbling sound echoed through the building. He quickly got back up and continued down. Once he reached the bottom he felt around for the door. Once he found it he pushed it open and ran around the corner meet them. "It great to find somewhat friendly faces...well non monstrous ones at that." Edited by Kintu The Fox, Aug 10 2012, 08:27 AM.

"Oh I should introduce myself now that we're safe...for now. I'm Slychu." "Yeah I'm fine, name's Josh, and we can't get out that way" Josh says to slychu, and pointing at the doorway. At least he doesn't know about my secret... Josh thinks to himself...

(Edit: there i fixed the last post of mine...sorry for the small mistake everyone) Slychu nodded. "Yeah...lets go." He ordered with concern in his voice. Heading down a couple of stairs in the darkness they had reached the bottom floor."There." He said heading towards the door. It was quite hard to open, but he got out. "I guess those things are...gone now? So ya think there's more of us out here. I've been hearing some commotion around the area, but i just ignored it."

"Guess there's some others around here then, if you heard commotion" Josh says to Slychu, and also thinking to himself And I just hope he doesn't see me using my dark gaia... while trying to see if any other people are nearby.

And no, I'd believe you. Pretty much sums up how I'm here... Mixed feelings flooded Aurora upon hearing Taylor's response. On one hand, she was glad that he believed her. But on the other, the fact that he too had been transported here against his will, without any reason or rhyme, that bothered her a lot. The wolf watched as he walked in the direction the whistle had come from. But I very much doubt it's for no reason. "What do you mean?" the wolf inquired, tilting her head to one side. Something wanted us here. Judging by the welcome I got, I don't imagine its intentions are anything noble. "Yeah, I don't think so either," Aurora muttered, glancing off to the side as if making sure there wasn't anything that had followed them. Hey, you alright up there? The wolf looked up to see a fox in through the window of a nearby building. I'm alright for now! I just think it was time for me to seek others whom might possibly be here as well! "Stay where you are; I'll meet you two down there! Aurora chuckled. "Well, I hadn't planned on doing anything else at the moment. .................................................................................................................... Drake McStrype: The recent sound of a horn had brought Drake out of hiding. The Bengal Tiger slowly, cautiously threaded through the city, actively looking for whatever had caused it. "That horn means that someone is around here. I need to find them and ask if there's a way out of this place," he reasoned, his eyes shifting from side to side. ................................................................................................................... Chester Chipston: Much like Jewel, Chester too had a wide grin encompassing the length of his muzzle. This was just what he needed, someone to help him out in this place! Surely the echidna would help him find his friends and defend him from danger! I'm so glad I found someone. One minute I was gazing at the stars with my friends and then next I knew I was here all alone with no weapons or anything in sight. The chipmunk frowned, his ears drooping to the side. "No...weapons?" I don't suppose you know where this place is or why I'm unarmed? Do you know if there are others around? Chester was hesitant to answer her. "Um...well..." He started to tap his fingers against each other. "To be perfectly honest, I've found myself in a similar predicament - I ended up here alone, and I currently have no weapons on me. And I have no idea where on Mobius I am or if there are others around. I'm sorry..." Edited by HollyYoshi, Aug 11 2012, 07:39 PM.

The Female Ultimate Life Form! Posts: 3,112 Group: E Rank Legend Member #59 Joined: April 29, 2006	Flash Flash had slowed down to a quick walk. He couldn't be bothered stopping, not when there had been some hell beast ready to make a meal out of him back there. Who knew how many more there could be, waiting in ambush if he dropped his guard and caught his breath? Besides, he had to find the location of the person who had whistled. Flash gasped for breath, as each step seemed to add to his fatigue. The mere minutes it took to cross the debris field seemed to be like hours. There was nothing along the horizon that seemed to indicate any other life, until at last Flash swore he saw movement by a large building up ahead. It seemed to be two figures. Flash slowed to a walk, as he kept his eyes on the two objects. Hopefully it wasn't a pack of those fleshrenders. As he took caution in his approach, Flash was finally able to make out that it was a wolf and human. He took a deep breath as he prepared for one last burst of energy to get these two. Flash ran as fast as his body could manage, despite how tired he was. By the time he reached Aurora and Taylor's general vicinity, another person had emerged from the building. ================================ Jewel Jewel's beaming smile began to fade as Chester spoke to her about his similar circumstances. "I... I see." she said with a frown. She was becoming uneasy again, knowing that she was essentially back to point A -- many questions and no answers. Jewel let out a deep sigh. "Well, I guess there's no sense in standing around. Perhaps we should continue searching for other people." she said, "Maybe we can track down some clues about what's going on here!" Jewel had took a couple steps, before she stopped. "Oh, yes." Jewel chuckled, "I should introduce myself!" She held out her hand, "My name is Jewel Amour�."

"Hey. We got more incoming. They still don't look like the beasties from earlier, but..." he ended his statement with another shrug, watching Flash approach out of the corner of his eye. As Chiyu came out and gushed gratitude about basically meeting something not trying to eat him, Taylor tuned him out with a "Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah," rapid-fire. A place like this... he'd honestly expected another attack by now. But he was, by his own admission, fairly paranoid and pessimistic; a result of his 'training' as an assassin by an arguably-possessed fox.

He said as he took off on all fours in a randomly chosen direction. His fur bristled as he stressed about the danger of this place. Who knows what it holds; full of mysteries and everything. He looked over his shoulder to see if Josh was following. -- Chiyu was a bit discouraged by the interruption. He tilted his head as he had turned his attention and focused on a cat, a Several as it appeared to be. "More?" He said referring that there is even more people out here than he thought in this deserted-like area. He looked left and right curious and hoping to see more.

"Let me guess. You woke up around here, with little more than the clothes on your back?" The question, while sarcastic in tone, was directed to both Chiyu, and Flash as he came into earshot. *"We're all* in the same situation. Give or take an attack by what's arguably a hellhound." Intense red-brown eyes glared at each in turn before their owner sighed. "I guess I should be grateful that we're all at least alive,** he muttered.

Josh yelled to Slychu, and spots 3 figures, one looks like a human, one was unclear because it looked sort of like a clam, and another appears to be a wolf, but Josh didn't bother with them, he still needed to keep up with Slychu, and because he was distracted by the 3 figures, he slowed down and almost lost Slychu, so Josh kept up with shadow rush, and hadn't noticed he was looking, but still kept trying to keep up...
