Sandopolis Act 2
|
Back in the past, in a lively and relatively peaceful city... "Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" The blonde she-hog paused, caught completely by surprise. Her sensitive ears were assaulted both by the shopkeeper's loud yelling and the strange, constant beep that occurred whenever she tried to walk past the doors. She flinched slightly when the shopkeeper put a heavy hand on her shoulder and whirled her around to face him. Her ears flattened back against her head as she began to look a little fearful and timid. "Um...what do you mean?" Her voice was quiet and shy. Her beautiful and otherworldly purple eyes usually sparkled with the strength of all of her positive emotions; at the moment, they were dull from fear and confusion. "What do I--?! You're shoplifting from my store!!!" The girl narrowed her eyes and tilted her head, only more confused. "Shoplifting...? Oh! You mean taking these clothes? Yeah! I'm restocking my inventory. Is...that a problem? Were they reserved for someone else?" The shopkeeper--an older beaver--growled. To him, she looked like a scraggly, no-good teenager. She had short, choppy quill-hair, and old, baggy clothes. She was just an ordinary thief. "I don't know if you like playing a dumb blonde or what, but the act is already old. Now, if you want those clothes and don't want the police to cuff you, pay for them." The she-hog's brief smile faded. There was a moment of tense silence. "...Um...pay? What do I pay with?" "That's it! The joke is over. I'm calling the cops." The beaver dragged the girl to the counter, furiously dialing for the police. The girl looked extremely worried now. "Wait, this isn't a joke! I really don't understand!" "Can it, missy." |

Carnival Night Act 1
|
It was a while later that an orangish-yellow fox with white markings on his head and arms that ran to his back and wove an intricate pattern there stepped into the store. "Alright Stripes, what trouble have you gotten into this ti-" He cut off and blinked around the store. Then looked at the shop keeper. "You said you had a theif?" The beaver nodded. "I did. But you arn't the police." The fox shook his head and fished something from a pocket on the belt that went across his chest. The belt was the only thing covering his upper half, the bottom clad in baggy camo pants and black boots. Several tools hanging from the belt on pants and a smattering of grease stains on fur and fabric completed the picture. "No but I am a leasion. Officer Rock will be here as soon as he can, but he ask me to check in first. What happened?" he ask, showing a badge to the shop keeper. The beaver explained and the fox nodded his head, then walked over to where the hedgehog sat in a corner and squatted down. She seemed a year or two younger than he. "So...the man says you claim ignorance huh? Unlikely, but possible. Why don't you start by telling me your name and where you are from." Edited by Smashmaster, Aug 8 2013, 01:55 PM.

The blonde she-hog's worried frown deepened at the fox's question. She looked down at her feet, kicking them lightly. Her ears were still flat in dismay. She then glanced up hesitantly, first at the shopkeeper and then at who she guessed to be the police officer. "...Um...well...technically, I can't tell you my name. I don't know how to say it in your language, and you wouldn't understand the significance of it. But...I guess you can call me Electra. Based off of some of this world's elements I've studied, that should fit. As for where I'm from...um...that's hard to explain too. To put it simply...up there." The girl pointed up towards the ceiling, smiling slightly now. "I mean, I fell here a while ago. They try to prepare you, but it's just so much work. We barely cover anything before we leave forever." "I think she's a pathological liar," the shopkeeper sighed. The blonde she-hog suddenly stood up at this, looking extremely horrified, angry, and offended. "I am not a liar! That's such a horrible thing to say! I know I upset you in some way, and I'm sorry, but how dare you!" "Easy, lass," the beaver said warily. From the way the girl reacted, one would think she had been accused of being a murderer. |

"And I think..." the fox said with a long look, "that she's a refugee from space." "What!?" The beaver stammered. "She's no alien! She's a hedgehog! I'm not so sure I trust your authori-" "I'm a refugee from space," the fox said quietly, but in a very serious tone. He stood and hauled her to her feet by her arm. "Was anything stolen." "Well she tried to walk out with-" "I said is anything stolen?" "Well no." "Good then I'm taking her with me. I'll file a report and if she's caught again the police will have her." With that he turned and practically dragged her out of the store and off down the street muttering. "I hope Rock doesn't revoke my privileges over this..." Once they were well out of sight of the shop, he let go of her arm and apologized as she rubbed it. "I'm Neb by the way. So, can you tell me anything more about where you are from?" |

Instead of answering right away, the blonde she-hog have him a big hug. She then jumped back, beaming. Her eyes sparkled with the amount of her energy. "Thank you! I'm...still not sure what I did wrong, but I have a feeling you helped me out. So, thank you!" She then cleared her throat, sighing softly. "Okay...I'm from a different planet. However, I can't tell you much. See...my species is alien, but we resemble what you would call angels. When a planet needs a little extra help, some of us will fall and help that planet in various ways. How I appear right now isn't what I truly look like. But, that's not important right now." She looked up at the sky before focusing on the fox again. "When we fall, we fall in pairs. One boy and one girl. They like to call us halves of a whole. As a trial, we're separated a short distance upon landing. Then we try to find our other half. As an extra challenge, our abilities are split up as well. One half retains their memories; the other half retains their fighting abilities. Luckily, we both have an instinct to find each other. Once we reunite, we'll both go back to normal! My partner's name is...well...hmm. You can call him Smoke. And since I have the memories, he has the fighting part covered!" The girl looked pleased at her explanation until her ears suddenly lowered again. "Oh...oh, no. I need to find Smoke. Now." |

Neb just stared at the girl for a long time. Just looked. Either she was telling the truth, or she needed some serious counseling. He thought about all the things he'd experianced in his short life and decided to continue to beleive her, just little longer at least. "Ok fine. Stay here. I'll be right back." Then he took off down the street, praying the girl wouldn't wander off. Fifteen minutes later he came flying back on a kind of motorcycle that floated off the ground. It didn't look completed yet, but it remained a few feet off the ground and seemed to run ok. "Alright. Climb up behind me. I'll help you look for a few hours, but then I've got stuff to do. What direction should go first?" |

Electra frowned, stepping away from the machine hesitantly. She swallowed nervously. "...Why is its breathing so strange? And it looks so odd...and scary..." It took an explanation from Neb and a whole lot of convincing before she fearfully sat behind him. "Well...I'm not exactly sure where to look...um..." Suddenly, what sounded like several large explosions--accompanied by a large cloud of smoke and dust--came from the other side of the city. Electra stared at it, looking determined. "...There. Smoke's there." ~~~~~~~ I need to find her. The gray hedgehog walked out of the debris, his eyes narrowed and a deep frown on his face. His ragged clothes appeared to be burnt and falling to pieces. He glanced around himself, seeing his opponents struggling to pick themselves up. He was in an older, crumbling part of town. First he was attacked...then he attacked...and then more attackers came... They were dressed differently, but that mattered little to the dark gray hedgehog. They were all enemies. Seeing someone stand, the male slammed a fist down into the pavement. A rising tide of asphalt rushed towards the poor victim, sending him flying off his feet. A crater was left around the gray hedgehog as he stood up. Similar craters-and-spiked-asphalt destruction surrounded him. The hedgehog cracked his knuckles, growling lowly. I need to find her. And I will destroy anyone or anything that gets in my way. |

(gosh it's so hard to get back into Neb's old scardy-cat mindset... "think like a welp, think like a welp. Leverage.") (and why does Electra this time around remind me of Starfire? lol) Neb gunned the engine and shot across town. Even as he did he could hear police chatter on his radio. Somehow he doubted this was a regular gang fight. "Wrench inbound." Finally he whipped around a corner in time to see the devastating attack. He gulped as he brought the bike to a halt and examined the cratered pavement. This guy was on a whole different level. Still he was the only one who could deal with it. Dismounting, he fingered his 'thud gun' and trusty wrench. All he had to do was not get hit. "Now you all just stop fighting or I'll make you stop!" That sounded authoritative...he hoped. Without to see what happened, he switched the thud-gun to seismic mode and pressed the barrel into the ground. Buildings swayed and dust went into the air as gang members all around fell over. Only Electra atop the floating bike was unaffected by the mini-earthquake. (yay I get to use the thud gun again!) |

(( Pfffffft. )) (( And because she kind of was at first. Thankfully, the two of them learn quickly. )) The dark grey hedgehog had stepped forward towards the fox, only to be caught off-balance by the new type of attack. He grunted as he fell forward onto his hands and knees. A sudden surge of fury consumed him as he snarled; he raised both of his fists and slammed them into the ground. The shockwave of asphalt and concrete rushed towards Neb in deadly spikes. "Look out!" Electra tackled Neb out of the way, looking scared herself. She then stood up and walked towards Smoke. He looked up at her in surprise. "H-hey...Smoke...?" "..." The dark gray hedgehog's hands fell by his sides as he stared. Then, the tiniest smile appeared on his face. "It's...it's you." He took a step forward, but the happy reunion was cut short by a loud gunshot. The hedgehog halted, his eyes wide. He reached a hand up to his throat, holding the wound before he coughed up a large amount of blood. He fell forward, collapsing in Electra's arms. She began to tear up and cry. "...N-no...Smoke...!" |

Neb twisted and hurled his over-sized wrench at the gangster with the gun. The fellow went down like a sack of potatoes. Others threatened to advance but the sound of sirens in the distance cut them short. "It's the cops! Run!" They all scattered as Neb ran over to the fallen hedgehog. He cut a strip of fabric from his pants and belted onto Smoke's neck as tightly as he could without cutting off air. Then he wrestled to pick him up and carry him to the bike. "Hold it in place. I'll get us to the hospital!" As soon as Electra was on, he spun the bike around and shot out of the clearing moments before the first patrol car came into sight. Listening to the radio, he avoided other inbound patrol vehicles and was soon clear of the area and headed towards the white building with green windows in the distance. |

Electra was doing her best not to cry, but tears ran down her cheeks anyway. Smoke's dark blue eyes were glazed and hazy. When he started to close them, she freaked out and shook him. "Stop that! Stop closing your eyes!!! Stay with me!!!" Smoke only nodded weakly in response, focusing on his breathing instead. Electra looked at Neb. "H-how much farther?" |

"We're here." Neb popped the hoverbike over the curb and shot across the grass coming to a halt right in front of the sliding glass doors. People rushed out and assessed the situation quickly. In moments Smoke was laid on a stretcher and rushed inside. The fox grabbed Electra by one of her spines as she tried to follow. "You'll get in their way. The best thing you can do now is wait. I'll show you where the waiting room is." |

(( Ouch. Since she doesn't have back spines, that means he grabbed her short hair. xD )) Electra winced, gently pushing Neb's hand away. She then nodded and sighed, closing her eyes. "O...okay." She felt the fox grab her hand; she allowed him to lead her inside, keeping her eyes closed. She then sighed, opening her eyes and looking miserable. "...I just...I hope he's...--?!" The blonde she-hog suddenly froze, her eyes widening with total fear and horror at what she saw. She suddenly gripped Neb's hand with a surprising amount of force as she began to quake with fear. All of these people...wearing white labcoats... The girl suddenly screamed, a piercing yet pure sound that pained everyone in the room. She then dashed outside, quicker than any normal Mobian should be able to move. |

Neb blinked and all the nurses stared at him. "Uh...I think she's...unhurt..." He said slowly. The girl was starting to make him jumpy. Certainly all inexplicable behavior actually had an explanation but...maybe a strait jacket wouldn't be a bad idea for this one until they could sort things out. He weighed his options carefully, then took a drink from the fountain and headed back outside. "Hello? Electra? Stranger girl where are you?" Seeing nothing, he fired up his bike and began moving. If he couldn't find her in 15 min he'd have to come back. There's no telling what that Smoke fellow would do if he regained consciousness in the hospital. Hopefully the docs would dope him before things got out of hand... |

Loud sobbing could be heard behind a dumpster in an alleyway. Electra was curled up, crying her eyes out and shaking badly. She jerked her head up when she saw Neb, her lips trembling even more. "Wh-why would you take him there? To those kinds of people? The ones who wear white coats and inject people with all sorts of awful and untested substances?! Why are you affiliated with terrorists?!" The blonde she-hog lowered her head again and resumed crying. Hopefully Neb could figure out that she was referring to the doctors... |
