Futuristic Those That are Hunted

[Lioness075]

(I meant the one that looks like a tree branching out. Not any of the other ones that look black and charred or anything as such )

 

[Verena]

(we'll let the girlfriend decide. Ams?)

 

[Lioness075]

(Yeah, plus there's Alpha nearby that can heal everyone up to a certain degree, all things considered)

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

(actually some are pretty cool. I've seen picture of horses that got struck and on literally has hole in the bone on his face. And even with alpha healing he will still have scaring.

 

[Verena]

(fine)


Vulcan was glad it was over but before he could say another word a lightning bolt lit the sky, hitting Xander but being transferred from him over to Vulcan - the theory of the electric fence. It was like getting kicked right in the chest with an unimaginable power, comparable maybe to getting hit by a truck. Nature was a bit*h to her children. At first the sudden light blinded him and he saw just white for less than a second, then it became complete darkness. He cried out and fell to the ground, unable to move for about a minute before slowly starting to regain his vision and control over his body. He made it to a half sitting, half lying position, still slightly shaking, and held onto his head, that was pounding and hurting, making his vision blurry. "What the heck?" he muttered.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Everything happened so fast. There was a bright light and suddenly Vulcan was on the ground. "VULCAN!" She yelled as she ran up to him, Alpha not far behind. Kneeling down Amelie want to take his hand but didn't want to get shcoked. There could still be electricity flowing through his body. When he sat up relief went through her. She thought she was going to lose him. Alpha stared at Xander. "How are you fine?" "Alpha worry about that later." Alpha looked at Vulcan and went into business mode. Pulling up the sleeves of her uniform she hovered her hand over his chest. They turned dark green but the light emitted from it was mint green. Alpha had to take precautions. The dark green gave her self a protective layer. She placed her hands on his chest and Amelie was expecting the girl to jump back but she didnt. It was Turley amazing to watch thee healer in action. Alpha closed her eyes. She sent a wave through his body. Healing everything that got damaged. The wound on his back slowly started to heal. She removed her hands when she was done. "Sorry but the spot that the light night struck will be scared." Amelie took Vulcan's hand and held it tight. "Let's not do this again ok?" ~I can't lose him too.~ "Sooo...Xander how did you do that?" Alpha asked. She started circling him looking for any damage.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Well in my equine classes when a horse gets struck you dont go up and touch them to see if they are fine because they can electrocute you from it. I just assumed the same thing for humans)

 

[Lioness075]

Xander felt like he was in a daze, watching as Vulcan flew backwards and then collapsed on the ground. Shell-shocked, Xander felt his heart skip a beat when Vulcan remained motionless for a moment or two. When Vulcan sat up, Xander let out a breath that he hadn't known he'd been holding. Watching Alpha heal Vulcan relaxed Xander and he immediately said to him, "Uh, sorry about that..." Hearing Amelie's question of what just happened, Xander paused and then answered honestly, "I have no idea. Honestly." Shifting his attention to Alpha, who had begun circling him, Xander replied to her question, "I think it's mostly just my head that's injured...and my eye." He knew he had to have a black eye at this point with how it was nearly impossible to see out of it. Remembering the kick to his chest, Xander winced and then added, "My chest might be a bit roughened up as well."

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Alpha nodded and did the same thing him that she did to Vulcan. "You both are lucky that I'm here otherwise this wouldn't have ended well."

 

[Verena]

Vulcan would probably never get used to Alpha's healing abilities. It felt weird and that's that. When she was done he could see clearly and slowly pulled himself up. "Another ruined suit..." He supposed his speaking device had also gone to Hell. The upper part of the suit was hanging on some threads on the back so he just tore it off and took a look at the scar. It was covering most of his right arm in a twisted muster similar to the one he had when he had made that darn deal with Death. "And another scar. Like I don't have enough already..." he sighed. This one at least was rather pretty to look at and easily covered up by some tattoos he intended to put on his skin. He would also have something to brag around about. "Thanks Alpha." he remembered.

 

[Lioness075]

Xander felt an odd tingling sensation as Alpha healed him, something he'd probably never appreciate feeling. It just felt so odd and out of place. Blinking, Xander grinned, as his eyesight was back to normal and he no longer felt like he had to think about breathing. He quickly thanked Alpha and then jogged to Vulcan's side. Sheepishly grinning now, Xander said, "Uh, sorry about that. I honestly have no idea how that happened..."

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

When Xander came up to them Amelie felt somthing in her snap. "You better be sorry. You could have killed him!" She growled, ice forming beneath her feet. Aloha back away slowly not wanting to get in the way of her wrath. "The one time I let you do what you guys want and this happens. I already have to deal with the thought that we could die at any moment on one of our mission I do not want to think of it while I'm here." Alpha wanted to say something about her being here but she didn't think Amelie's anger had to do with the fact that their injuries couldn't be healed. It's probably the emotional side of it that Amelie wasn't used to. Also Alpha couldn't revive someone who had already died.

 

[Lioness075]

Xander instantly backed away, his hands up defensively as he said, "Woah, I'm not trying to kill any partners here. I had absolutely no control over that, I didn't even know I could do that!" He saw the ice forming around her and instantly summoned his fire wolf at his side out of self-preservation. He kept his wolf from growling since he didn't want to further incite Amelie, but the wolf was there to protect him if need be. After summoning the wolf though, Xander stumbled backwards slightly, the toll of using his gift so much finally starting to take its toll on him.

 

[Verena]

"Amelie, don't worry. I'm fine. Besides, the death rates from being struck by lightning aren't all that high. This could have happened to anyone at any time." he said and took her hand, standing between her and Xander. Then he turned towards his fire-bending friend, raising an eyebrow at his fire wolf. "Yes, well, that's a mystery to be solved later. How about we seek some shelter and then we can talk. I don't want this happening again." Vulcan said and headed for the living quarters before it started to rain or thunder. It was truly a mystery why exactly they were hit. There were some high trees nearby and each one of those buildings had at least one lightning rod on the roofs. "Could that toaster guy from earlier have something to do with this?" he asked just as they were entering the building.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie let go of his hand and stood up. "That wasn't the point." Amelie didn't feel threatened at all by Xander's wolf. She felt more annoyed than anything but even so her wolf form as well. Unlike Xander Amelie was at full strength and it showed by solid her wolf was. Said wolf pined it's ears back at the fire wolf. When she turned to follow Vulcan, her wolf backed up a few steps before turning to follow her.


Alpha ran to Xander's side. There was nothing she could do about the over exertion of his gift but it didn't mean she didn't worry. "Yes lets go back inside. Xander needs to rest." Alpha stood by him making sure he didn't fall all. Not that I'd be able to hold him up. "And what toaster guy?" Alpha waited for Xander to follow before moving.

 

[Lioness075]

Xander let out a small sigh, his concern growing by the minute about how Amelie felt towards him now. She was one of the highest ranking GAs here and had plenty of power over Xander. Plus, he was getting along so well with Vulcan...he didn't want to lose that friendship. Minor details that it was the first friendship that Xander had had in years. Xander's fire wolf saw Amelie's ice wolf pinning its ears back at it and the fire wolf whined in response, tucking its tail between its leg and then lowering its head and averting its gaze.


Seeing Alpha joining his side, Xander half-heartedly smiled at her and said, "Thanks, A-" He then blinked and stumbled to the side again, his fire wolf immediately dissipating into ashes. Catching himself, and hoping he didn't fall on top of Alpha, Xander resolved to stumble forward and after Vulcan and Amelie, hoping that he could find some bench or something to sit on. Having no idea what 'toaster guy' Vulcan was talking about, Xander waited for Vulcan to respond to Alpha's question.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

"Xander!" Amelie turned around when Alpha yelled out. Seeing Xander stumbled her wolf whined, wanting to run up to help him but it's master's will ran too deep and it stayed still. "Vulcan, I think Xander needs help getting back to the living quarters!" Alpha called out. Obviously Amelie wasn't going to help. She could tell by the way her wolf stood it's ground next to her.

Kytha almost attacked Amelie but held off. Grabbing the leash, she pulled the dog into the room before tying it to the bed. She pet it softly before whispering, "I'll sneak back a little treat for you." And standing motioning for toron to follow. She walked dominantly down the hall glaring at anyone who looked at her but looking for Seth along with maybe a couple good recruits. Once they reached the dinning hall it was half empty with no lines at the buffet thing. She grabbed a tray and began walking around looking at all the food. She grabbed some meat and a fruit cup with a bottle of water but that was it. Toron grabbed pretty much one of everything before following Kytha and sitting down. Ky slipped some of the meat into a pocket then began eating the rest. They both searched the crowd but it seemed like not very many faces looked friendly. Then one person caught her eye. He looked tough yet loyal. Dark, but smart. So she decided that shed watch him for a few days and try to figure out who he is. Then she picked up her tray, put it where she had to, grabbed her water and left. Toron just stayed there eating she mumbled that she was gonna look for a place to work out and left. Soon she reached a gym and walked in to be greeted by a bunch of men. She was originally startled but didn't show it. She just walked up to a boxing ba and got ready to practice. Soon. She heard a bunch of mumbling and whistles an she turned around snarling deeply. "I swear to god if you all don't shut up I will make you!" "And what are you gonna do little girl? Slap us with beauty?" All the men chuckled but stopped abruptly. "I wouldn't exactly say pretty." And on that note she turned wolf snarling. Then suddenly they all turned to wolves as well. "Hmm lets see, how about this one?" She hissed then turned bear. The men would probably still dominate her but at least she was big."Princess is feisty. Bruce, get her." Before she could react, one of the males became a bear as well. Bigger and meaner. He charged at her and instantly she was pinned. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." He chuffed but before anything else could happen a guard walked in and she threw her neck into his jaws crying sharply. The guard yelled before commanding the men to turn back. She let her head fall back then the guard walked to her and told her to become human again. She of course obeyed and stood up before grabbing her neck. "He tried to kill me!" She called making her voice hoarse. The guard looked at the men before grabbing the leader and 'Bruce' by the neck, the rest of the group following, out of the room. Soon she regained getting ready then began practicing punching and kicking full force, trying new moves before feeling hands on her hips. She froze. A low chuckle filled the air and she attempted to swirl around but was held in place. "Tighten your core, you get more power." "Get off me. Before I make you." Snarling he let go and she turned around to see the guy she was thinking of recruiting standing there. "Sorry for scaring you. I tend to do that alot." "It's fine. Why did you help me by the way?" "Because you looked like your kicks were weak. No one wants that in a fighter." "Thanks. I was about to leave but I'll uh, see you later. Kytha, by the way." She said holding out her hand. "Jamezion. Just call me James." "Ok James. I'll see you around." And with that she walked out only to run into Toron. "Sorry Toron. I was just touching up on my skills." "It's fine. C'mon lets go check on Cody."


They reached the cell to see Cody sitting there wagging his tail furiously. She walked up to him and pulled the meat out of her pocket throwing it to him. And he caught it mid air eating it in seconds. She sat on the floor petting him and Toron also was there and she ended up actually smiling. "I haven't smiled in a long time. Wow. Never thought I'd feel this again."


 
(Sorry for the long post xD had to get things done.)

 

[Lioness075]

(Haha, not a problem. It's understandable considering you're not exactly directly interacting with any of our characters at the moment. I really should introduce Larassa, but it'd probably be best to wait for whenever the prisoners go outside for some kind of recess or something. *shrugs*)

 

[Panda_Roleplays]

(Whenever you want I'm ready for whenever!)

 

[Lioness075]

(Well, it looks like Vulcan's sleeping for now so I can expect Xander to be frozen in time until Vulcan decides to hopefully help him out. Perhaps we could have a signal go off in the prisons to signal for the prisoners to go outside for a bit. Want me to cue the signal?)


 
(I take that back.)

 

[Verena]

He didn't need Alpha telling him that Xander needed some assistance. Seeing Xander having trouble walking Vulcan rushed to his side and let him put his arm across his shoulders, helping him walk. "You alright?" He assumed it was because he had overused his gift and then that lightning that had struck them. Even if the power was transferred over to him Xander must have felt something as well he thought. To some extent Vulcan was glad he was the one to take the hit. Not only was he able to withstand some more damage than a regular human being, he was also incredibly lucky. Perhaps coming from the fact that there was still that dark energy following him around - that grim shadow that made any living creature on Earth shiver with fear from the inevitable - Death.


While they were walking towards the living quarters Vulcan decided to explain a bit what he meant. "There were three prisoners on the plane. One of them was able to disturb the signal of the scanners and let electricity flow through the metal bars of his cage, electrocuting one of the guards in the process. He also had some strange robotic eyes and with them simply looked to me like that guy from that old Terminator movie. So... toaster guy." he smirked.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie rolled her eyes at this. "I doubt he was the reason behind it. How would he even know where you were? No one saw you, which to be honest, is weird. We brought a lot of GA'S because the prisoners are allowed to use their gifts. We have been having a lot of problems with them attempting to rebel lately so we thought if we made where we kept them a little nicer then they wouldnt. But since it's experimental this place has a lot off security." Amelie didn't really think it was a good idea but orders were orders.

 

[Lioness075]

Xander numbly nodded at Vulcan's question of whether or not he was all right. A good nap and some quality R&R would surely help get Xander back on his feet in no time. Still, Xander couldn't stop reimagining the scene with him and the lightning. When he'd been struck, he didn't feel any pain, at least not for the short amount of time that the lightning was coursing through him. It'd used his extended hand as a conductor or something, exiting out of his fingertips like he was just discharging it with ease. Was it possible that he could control lightning?


Hearing Vulcan's explanation for the toaster guy, Xander rolled his eyes and remained silent as he felt extremely exhausted and really just wanted to get some sleep. Yet, his thoughts of having a wonderful nap were ruined when some alarm went off for a few seconds before ending. Looking around, Xander was unsure of what the alarm was signaling until he started to notice groups of the prisoners heading down a hallway towards some back doors. What was it, recess time for them or something?

 

[Verena]

"I'm not sure if that's their best decision so far. With such conditions there must always be a literal army of GA's around to watch the prisoners. I mean, there are some serious gifts around here which ordinary humans can't contain." after a pause he spoke again. "Hasn't anyone thought of coming up with an alternative to caging them up or killing. Those labs have some really advanced technologies that could maybe potentially... cure gifted?" his thoughts were interrupted by the alarm. He looked towards Amelie. There wasn't anyone better informed about things like these than her. "Is that alarm supposed to call the prisoners back to their cells? Because of the storm maybe..." he looked up in the dark clouded sky. It would start to rain any minute now.
