Futuristic Those That are Hunted

[Verena]

(If you power-play me, then I get to have a bit of bonuses)


The attacks from both sides were inevitable. Vulcan was too focused on Hayden to notice the dragon. "Kytha, can't you see?! This isn't my choice to make.", he growled and kicked her aside as best he could. Her black smoke was supposed to poison him but one could not poison a man, in whose veins a poison was already flowing. But it did make him dizzy and that was not the time for being weak. Get up! But before he could regain his stance Hayden had already reached him and had lifted him by the fur around the back of his head. Before he could open his yaws to bite at him images started appearing in his head. He turns human and makes him lose his grip. "Her death cannot scare me. She might even become a banshee after. Death owes me this at least." But before he could turn back again, Hayden started throwing punches at him, stronger than those of a regular human. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain and looked down only to see himself impaled by Haydens sword like arm. That fool. Vulcan could easily continue fighting with a wound to the stomach. A normal human would bleed out in about an hour but then again, he wasn't just any human being. "We'll see about that." He shifts. The wound that was once huge was now much smaller in comparison to his huge body. He was standing on his hind legs and now lands on top of Hayden, clawing his chest open and biting at his head and throat.

(wow the last notification I got was from sunday....)


 
"I'm pretty sure that is Kytha." She knew she could probably handle the dragon with Xander's help but Amelie didn't want to get in the cross fire between Hayden and Vulcan. "To be honest with you this fight is something I do not want to get involved with. I would rather focus on Kytha than Hayden." Hayden would be able to kill her pretty easily. She flinched at the thought of another shard going through her. A small crack formed in her armor as her wolf jumped out to attack Kytha.

 

[Lioness075]

Xander nodded in agreement and his fire wolf nimbly followed Amelie's ice wolf, not wasting a second. Seeing the crack form in Amelie's armor, Xander frowned and asked her, "Are you okay, Amelie?" He raised an eyebrow at her while his wolf followed her wolf's moves, fully intending to copy its moves and aid it.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie looked down at her chest to see that a crack did indeed form. It filled back up before she responded. "Don't worry about it. I'll be fine." Spikes started grow on her wolf's back and ankles. Amelie wasn't about to show any weakness.

 

[ANONASAI]

The Pierce Ancestor began to fade away as he now went back to Ragnavir. Hayden suddenly felt the pain on his chest, only to see that Vulcan had already pounced on him. Then the bites from the throat happened alongside his head was bleeding. He couldn't speak, his wind pipe was blocked by Vulcan's bites. He passed out.

Ky saw the two wolves walking towards her and snarled before her head snapped to Hayden whom had been knocked out. She had had enough. "ENOUGH!" She roared into the sky. She stalked over to Vulcan and stepped over Hayden protecting him. "You damned beast! Is that what you are now? Is that what you want to be? A beast?! A demon?! Pure evil?! God Vulcan! How many times did I trust you with my life and you become this! After all I did to try to help you! YOU FOOL! I WILL TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!" She roared out even angrier then before her body glowing. But not with blue, with red. Her eyes pure red. She looked demonic. "Trust me Vulcan, you don't want to see what I'm capable of." She snarled and her dragonling snapped at him. "But maybe just this last time, I will flee again." She hisses and her scales go blue and she lets out smoke blocking everyone's vision for a mile. She grabs Hayden and flies up and out of the smoke, streaking towards their new base. She looks back and sees she out of sight so she inhales deeply and sucks in her own smoke her power regenerating. She flies down to the new base and sets Hayden down turning human. Seeing toron she sighs. "Come, they won't rest for long." She sighs and picks up Hayden's knocked out body. They enter the tower to see a large room on the main floor and multiple small rooms higher upon the staircase the could very well confuse an enemy. 'Perfect.' She thinks to herself and begins exploring.


Toron sees Kytha and sighs with relief. He grabs the dog and supplies and follows her."What do you mean? Why won't they rest long? What happened? C'mon ky! Tell me!" He sighs and follows her as she explores the confusing building.

Piper watched as a dark cloud enveloped the battlefield and then Kytha and Hayden fled, with Kytha carrying the unconscious Hayden. Instead of giving chase, Piper shifted into her dragon form, nearly four times larger than Kytha's dragon form, and then flew down to the battlefield, landing with a rumble about twenty feet from Vulcan. She let out a ear-piercing roar as she furiously flapped her wings, dissipating the cloud around the agents and the small battlefield. She then tucked her wings against her body before closing her jaws and calmly looking down at Vulcan, who was closest to her. Piper stayed silent as she waited for the agents' and their reactions.


Xander began coughing as Kytha's cloud enveloped him and disrupted his view of his wolf companion. Unable to see him, Xander closed his eyes and then mentally connected with his wolf, now seeing through its eyes. He took completel control of his wolf, which could see heat signatures through the cloud with ease. Seeing Vulcan nearby, Xander's wolf padded over to him before gently nudging his sides to see if he was okay. Suddenly, there was a rumble and Xander toppled over and onto his side as he lost his mental connection with his wolf. Not too long after, the cloud began dissipating while something let out an ear-piercing roar. Xander yelped and covered his ears before the cloud completely dissipated in the area and Xander looked towards Vulcan to see his fire wolf standing over him and growling at...the dragon?!? It was the one that could've killed them the other day, and it made Kytha's dragon form look like a dwarf in comparison.

Vulcan was about to shake Haydens body and break his neck - finish this once and for all but when Kytha moved towards them he was forced to let go and step aside in order to avoid any claw attack coming from her. He roared at her and was about to charge and fight her but when the dense smoke appeared he stopped, not quite able to orientate. "Damn it!" he growls. But before he could turn human and walk back to his partners to discuss their next move the other dragon appears, dispersing the black smoke with its wings. Vulcan winces and lowers himself to the ground as the roar enters his sensitive hearing. The other dragon was basically standing meters away from him. As the roar ended he was finally able to regain his stance and look at the dragon. It seemed way too calm to be real. But why waste his energy on snarling and trying to intimidate his opponent, which was obviously not possible. "Who are you? What do you want?" Vulcan noticed how weak his voice sounded, even in his wolf form. He had almost forgotten about the wound on his stomach - stinging, itching, hurting. The adrenaline released from the fight had numbed the pain but now that he was calming down again it was starting to return. Still, he felt like he would be able to fight a little bit longer. Of course, only with help from his partners. Nevertheless, he felt like they could somehow avoid the fight. Negotiate instead. If the shifter wanted to kill them they wouldn't be having this conversation. He calls upon a few more soul orbs in case they wouldn't be able to end this peacefully.

 

[Lioness075]

Upon seeing that at least one of the agents was willing to talk, Piper shifted back into her human-fox form, her fiery hair pulled back in a ponytail while she wore a tank top, torn jeans, and some sneakers. She stayed where she was to avoid any potnetial threats and then said evenly, "Kytha and Hayden are too dangerous. I've seen this firsthand. They need to go." She narrowed her eyes after saying this, hoping the agent understood whst she was saying. Those two rebels needed to die before they killed more innocent lives.


Xander called his wolf back to his side and then cautiously joined Vulcan's side, staying silent for once and just watching the shifter. Damn, she was gorgeous. Too bad she could change into a dragon and eat him whole. That was a major turn-off for Xander.

 

[Verena]

Vulcan shifts along with her, pressing one arm onto his stomach. Now that he was human again, the wound was once again quite large. He turns his head to look at Xander approaching, then at Amelie. "Ams?" Forming an ice crust over her wound had saved her life once when Haydens shard had pierced her chest and he was hoping that she could do the same for him. Then he turns his gaze back at the shifter girl. He almost laughed as he saw her tail and ears. Never before had he seen a shifter that kept parts of an animal even in his human form. But then again, he hadn't seen a dragon before either. "I like your ears.", he said with a smile but then reminded himself to concentrate at the task at hand. "Yes, you are right and I... nah, we, are glad to have you on our side. Those three can't roam free like that and cause chaos every time they show up. Too many had died by their hand as it is and you can clearly see what I mean." He shows around with his free hand, mentioning at the corpses that hadn't been picked up yet. Then he carefully walks up to her and reaches his hand to her, a kind smile on his face. "Name's Vulcan.", he introduces himself, while the soul orbs begin moving closer to her, examining her peacefully with obvious interest and curiosity.


 
(Xander seems lonely! haha We all got our soul mates and he's still single. Poor thing.)

 

[Lioness075]

While Piper was willing to work with the agents, she still didn't trust any of them. She glanced down at Vulcan's hand and then back up at him before saying sarcastically, "The pleasure's all mine." She then added a bit more kindly, "My name's Piper." Looking down at Xander's wolf companion, she recognized him as the fire elementalist. She then looked behind the two agents to recognize the ice elementalist as well. That meant that Vulcan was the wolf shifter with a bad attitude. That or he was seriously messed up inside like Hayden. She knew there was more to him, which made him almost as dangerous as Hayden.


(Well, I'm not about to have Xander fall in love with another one of my characters so he's gunna live a long and lonely life at this rate. xD )

 

[Verena]

As he saw that she wasn't going to shake his hand he pulls it back and scratches the back of his head. "Well, that is kinda awkward. So, how can we know we can trust you, Piper? Kytha could have sent you to be her inside man... sorry, woman. She was looking for a spy for quite some time and that boy, Toron, didn't do the job very well." He began circling her. He was simply too curious, like a puppy, to where that tail was coming from and how she was even able to wear those jeans. It could very well be attached to a belt, like a costume.

 

[Lioness075]

Piper raised an eyebrow at Vulcan, matching his curiosity as she watched him walking around her. Her tail was sticking out through a snall hole in the back of her jeans, just big enough for the tail to come through and for nothing else to be seen, thanks to the immense fluff of her tail. Piper then replied to Vulcan's question, saying, "Hayden already threatened to kill me for working with you three. Next time he sees all of us together, he'll no doubt go for me first so at least I'm somewhat protecting you guys now." She then looked back at Vulcan and snapped at him before abruptly turning around, "What exactly are you looking for, wolfman?" Her eyes shone dangerously as she was completely unsure of what Vulcan was doing and she wanted to keep an eye on him since she felt he was the most dangerous of the three.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie shut her eyes when the smoke came rushing out of Kytha's body. She heard flapping of wings and knew they had gotten away but not even a moment later she felt the ground shake beneath her. Cautiously she opened her eyes. Her wolf was back by her side and she could actually see now. There, standing in front of Vulcan, was a dragon way larger than Kytha. She groaned. "F**** my life." Where where all these dragons coming from? Amelie was about done with it. Seeing as the dragon wasn't head on attacking them she waited to see what was going to happen before moving closer.


When the dragon shifted back, Amelie looked at her funny. ~A shifter who keeps part of another form?~ She snapped out of her gaze when the woman started talking. "Well glad to see someone else understands." She mumbles. When she hears her name she looked In the corner of her eye and saw Vulcan, trying to keep a large wound from bleeding out. In an instant she was by his side and forced him to stop moving. ~Piper eh? Haven't heard of her before.~ Amelie decided she would hold off on telling her boss about Pipers uniqueness. She placed a hand lightly over the would Vulcan had and ice slowly formed over it. Even though the ice stopped the bleeding, it had a red tint to it from the blood. "It's going to be a little cold but it will help. And Vulcan...I don't know how much I would trust her." She whispered the last part.

 

[Verena]

"Well, yeah, Hayden treats everyone like that I suppose. However I think we may have found a weakness of his - Kytha." he says and quickly moves back as Piper snaps at him. She might have mistaken his curiosity for checking something else out. Vulcan however was true to only one. He sighs in relieve as the ice starts forming over the wound. It felt good. A scab would soon form over it and he would be back in action in no time. As Amelie began whispering in his ear he slightly leaned into her and turned his head, smiling at her thankfully. "You are aware of the fact that shifters have improved senses?"

 

[ANONASAI]

( I guess this is a good time for me to be finally captured once and for all, I mean, I'm tired of fighting in the same setting again and again so yeah. You can stop protecting me now, Kytha xD )


While Hayden passed out, he was back in Ragnavir. The first thing he sees in Ragnavir is that he is now in a very familiar place, his father's home. Completed with his Hayden's childhood bed, and dad was just sitting there waiting for Hayden to wake up. "Dad, I'm back in Ragnavir. So is this really my fate? To be hunted down by Death's representative and disgrace the bloodline of the Pierce? I'm the Last Pierce, who you've all been hoping for... and now I'm dead." Hayden said. But his father just kept laughing there with a smile, "Son, we don't die that quickly. We're the Pierce, remember? Now, you're mission is not yet done, get back in there and finish it." His father said. Hayden just sat there in silence, before he spoke.


"You said we made a deal with Death, why is he hunting us down now?" Hayden asked. "Well, it's not the kind of deal you might now of. You see, your vampiric ancestor, Hayden the First, escaped Death's realm. He was the very first to actually absorb the souls of the dead in Death's kingdom, and used it like a key to escape his realm. Death didn't expect this coming, mainly because he didn't know what the Pierce are capable of doing." His father said.


( Posting the next part tomorrow okay bye )

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie's hand was still on his stomach. As she gave him a fake smile, ice continued to spread up to his chest before her wolf forcefully shoved Vulcan away from from her. Amelie hated when people mentioned things like that. Usually she thought things through, but she knew almost nothing about what the female shifter infront of them could do. "Well Piper. What do you think we should do." She had trouble trying to stay calm. After all Piper had tried to kill them once.

 

[Lioness075]

Piper smirked when she heard what Amelie said about lacking trust in her. Looking at Amelie now, Piper said with a slight cock of her head, "Yes, I have acute senses and heard what you said, but trust me, the feeling is mutual, Elsa. Just so we're clear, I'm not joining any sides. I'm just here to make sure some lunatics don't go around killing innocents like it's some kind of satonic joke. I'm no hero and I'm certainly no rebel." Upon hearing Amelie asking her what to do, Piper raised an eyebrow and then looked at Vulcan before asking him, "How good is your sense of smell, Wolfman?" Oh, how Piper loved her nicknames for people. It was highly likely that she just watched too many movies, but it was still fun for her nevertheless. Though, she doubted this bunch had zero to none childish fun with how they handled things.


Xander cocked his head at Piper, having no idea why she was calling Amelie, Elsa. Who was this Elsa? He couldn't hide a small smirk though when she called Vulcan, Wolfman. Now that one he understood. Still, he felt like she was too calm and it was starting to unnerve him, which he did not like that feeling one bit.

 

[Verena]

"Can't track them when they fly up in the air. If we go back to their old hideout there might be some clues to where they are headed." He noticed Xander smirking and restrained himself from neck-slapping him. "Don't you even dare start calling me that... Zuko." he laughed at him. If they were going to come up with nicknames he already had a bunch for all of them.

 

[Lioness075]

Xander immediately cocked his head in response to Vulcan's nickname for him and Xander's smirk grew as he replied, "Am I that moody?"


Piper couldn't help but relax a bit at Vulcan's teasing of Xander. Maybe these guys weren't so intense after all. She hoped they weren't anyhow. While she was keeping up a tough exterior, Piper was really childish and sarcastic. She'd expected them to all be intense and focused though, so she'd acted how she'd expected them to act.

 

[Verena]

"Don't know you for that long, but from what I've seen so far, yeah, we're all quite moody." he quickly grabs the end of Xanders long braided hair and pulls on it, smirking childishly. Then he turns at Piper "How does it feel to have a tail and ears, Foxy? I can only go so far." Vulcan turns half-human, dark shadows appearing around his yellow eyes, his fangs growing longer and sharper, sharp crooked claws replacing his nails, the tips of his ears growing a bit longer. "Basically the form before turning completely wolf." His voice was much deeper, with a growling sound in the background. He shakes his head and regains his human form.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

"Elsa? Who is this Elsa you speak of?" Amelie never had time to really do anything. She stuck with her work and only went home to sleep. Well Amelie wouldn't really call it home. Home was with her brother. Seeing Vulcan shift like that didn't really bother her like the way Piper looked. She was used to shifters only being able to go that far before completely turning. "It's interesting really. I've never seen a shifter able to do that. Her icy blue eyes looked over Piper intensly, trying to figure out how she did it.

 

[Lioness075]

Xander let out a yelp of surprise when one of his braids were pulled and then took a step away from Vulcan while giving him a mocking glare. He soon lost the glare though, grinning at Vulcan's teasing joke.


Piper giggled at Vulcan's nickname for Xander, already approving of it. She then raised an eyebrow at Vulcan's half form and wondered how long he could sustain such a form. Upon hearing Vulcan's question about her ears and tail, Piper grinned and her ears both flickered while her tail swished a bit. Meeting Vulcan's eyes and then glancing at Amelie who made a statement about her appearance, Piper sighed and said, "Well, as fun as it can be, I never managed to make the ears or tail stay before-" she cut off and her eyes went distant before she blinked and came back to reality "uh, before I was stuck for a bit. In my fox form I mean." She shuffled a bit at this and careful to avoid details, she added, "By the time I shifted back into a human again, I had some...permanent features."

 

[Verena]

"That's seriously messed up. You Poly-Therains don't have it that easy. I'm grateful that I don't have problems like these." he mentions to her ears and tail. They looked cute but not too practical. One that was a gifted and not an agent would have to hide them and would probably not be able to show up in public without constantly worrying about being discovered. "On the other hand, I'm never completely human either. There's always something wolfish left - on the inside and the outside." he smiles widely, showing off his sharp teeth and pointing at his yellow eyes. "Kytha mentioned once that she would lose her powers, stay human I mean, if she didn't shift for a couple of days. We could use this to our advantage. But then again, how are we supposed to contain her for that long, especially with her newly acquired dragon form. Piper, I think we can all agree that you know more about mythical beasts than any one of us. Might wanna share some information of defeating one with us?"

 

[Lioness075]

Piper shook her head, also completely unsure of how they'd contain and prevent Kytha from shifting. She didn't really understand the people who couldn't shift into more than one animal. Furrowing her brows and frowning slightly, Piper grew even more concerned when Vulcan asked how to defeat Kytha. With the shared dragon traits, if she gave away any weaknesses then she'd be putting herself at risk as well. She knew she couldn't trust these agents. There was no way they'd let her just walk away at the end of this.
