Phoenix stood
up, still damaged but he seemed to look a bit stronger than
before.
Alright, I... I mean... is everyone of you okay?
"Sure
thing!" was the reply, spoken by several voices at once.
Well... then...
umm... ... ... what should we do now?
Phoenix continued to stay around
as if he was a package that no one wanted...
"well first we`re gonna take you somewhere you can rest up and heal,then well buisness as usual I think",Yugo patted Phoenix on the back as he dropped an empty clip.
Ouch!
>_<
But... but what's with the town?
Shouldn't we... go to
help?
(((You know, it
would be very helpful if you guys could, like, make these .txt files? My comp
can't seem to read .docs...)))
Reasurred that the
others were okay, Kikuchiyo had turned back to look at the rubble, all that was
left of the city. Being relatively sober, it began to set into his righteous and
idealistic mind what had happened... noone had escaped... if they had they would
have been fighting the robots or they would have come back no that the battle
was over... noone... no survivors... forgetting his concern and falling again
into his rage, he suddenly turned on Pheonix and AdamS, storming up to them.
"Allright, what's going on?'
"What are you talking about? I only know as much
as you do!"
"No no no, you two show up, and suddenly those... those... things
show up and level the city. They had to have done something to take everyone by
surprise and kill them at once, but you led us away, out to the cave, just
before the attack... why?" He had grabbed Pheonix by the shoulder and was
starting to lift him with one hand, but was knocked deftly aside by Silent Star.
When she pounced on him, it knocked the breath out of him and also caused him to
drop his sword.
She growled angrily, "Exactly what in the world do you
think you're doing?"
She held him down for a moment, but he shoved her
off and stood up. He had, however, regained his senses for the most part and was
content to simply glare at Pheonix. "Gone... they're all gone... I swear, if you
had anything to do with this-" he was cut off buy Yugo, who had jumped between
them.
"What's wrong with you? They couldn't have had anything to do with the
attack. There are new arrivals every day. Making blind accusations won't help us
at all."
Kikuchiyo looked around at the others around him, staring at him
with mixed expressions, and as he did so his heavy breathing began to slow.
"Yes... you're right... I'm sorry. But we must find out who is responsible for
this.
OOC: Okay, in case you don't get what just happened, let me explain
a little. Kikuchiyo isn't usually like this, as those who read the whole story
up till now know. First of all, he's very do-gooder, and he always tries to be
honest and fair and stand up for anyone who needs help, etc. etc. He hates
anything he sees as an injustice and won't feel right until he corrects it,
right down to a junker being cheated in a sale. Now, however, he's just
realising that at least hundreds of beings have just been thoughtlessly
slaughtered. And there's nothing he could do to stop it. Naturally, he has
trouble accepting this, and being sober doesn't help. So, of course, he projects
his anger onto Pheonix and, somewhat, onto AdamS.
Yugo sighed deeply,"okay people,now lets head into the remains of the town,something or someone must have survived,theres always a survivor and probably an injured one so lets get moving",the ex-hunter captain looked round at the group,"this has just been one bad day and its still dragging out but we can`t just sit around and fight amongst ourselves we have to do something".
Silent Star closed
her eyes and leaved against Pheonix.
She nuzzled his leg comfortingly.
Adam just
sighed.
Adam: This is life...I suppose.
"well is anybody gonna help me carry Phoenix to the town and see if we can fix him up there?",he watched a tumble weed roll past and looked at it in anger,"I just KNEW that was going to happen!".
"I'd help but I'm afraid I cannot carry him..." she flicked her tail behind her.
"well thanks for the gesture,maybe you could run ahead and see if theres anything we can carry him on?"
She moved up a few
steps.
"Might be too dangerous..." she hissed gently.
"Either pick him up
and carry him....or let him ride on my back...I am sure I have enough strength
for him."
"thats alright I got him,just make sure I know where I`m stepping okay Star?",Yugo lifted Phoenix up,the reploid wincing in pain as Yugo kept him aloft even with a lot of pain in his systems,"lead the way panther"
"Ah, thanks for the
support... but... I think I can walk alone", said Phoenix and got up... it
looked very painful, but finally, he stood again.
>-< "Owww..."
And
he began to move towards the burnt-out ruins, crossing the tumbleweeds that
appeared out of nowhere and with several surprised looks at his back.
Star followed him
like a well trained cat, and she looked pretty content, pushing away
tumbleweeds.
"Uhm...Phoenix I know you're up and all...but you're going the
wrong way."
"Er... I knew
this... ... ..."
He turned around and looked all over the place.
Kikuchiyo glared at him evilly and the others were already going..
"Uh...
lead on, please... *blush*"
Star smirked and stayed beside him as they walked back to shelter.
Adam: OK, this is getting mighty screwy. Oh well, I'm gonna go scrounge up some pieces for armor...unless you need me or something?
"I don't ... think
so."
Phoenix walked closer to the still buring ruins, looking around, but
seing nothing.. or... was there something?
He ran forward, as fast as he
could and kneeled down.
Adam, curious, ran
over to Phoenix.
Adam: What is it?
Yugo quickly walked over to him and knelt down as well,"well what have you found?".
Kikuchiyo shook his head and groaned softly before picking up his sword and following the others. "I really need a drink."
Before Kikuchiyo could groan again he found Yugos hipflask flung into his hands,"here don`t drink it all its good for stripping paint and getting blocked so use it sparinly".
Adam turned
away.
Adam: I...can't look at it anymore...It's
disgusting...guk...
Star went up to
them.
"What is it?"
"Something you
don't really want to see... Let's move in the other direction into the town"
said Phoenix as he walked away.
Silent Star looked at Adam: "What is it? What
does he have?"
Adam shrugged: "If you want to see it, go ahead. I'll go the
other way, too."
Yugo stood up in disgust,"don`t look Silent,its not worth it....its just sickening...",he holstered his pistol and followed the other two.
OOC: No,
really...what is it?
--------
Star followed Phoenix.
"well?
What is it?
Kikuchiyo's eyes lit up and he turned the flask upwards, taking several large, gratefull gulps. After draining half of the flask, he stopped and screwed the lid back on. "Ahh... much better" he noticed that several of the others were staring at him. He coughed nonchalantly. "Sorry." He tossed the flask back to Yugo, seeming a bit reluctant to do so.
Yugo caught the flask without even looking round as they walked towards the town.
Star padded next to
Phoenix and the group, such things bothered her to a high degree, one being with
people and another being trusting with people.
She didn't quite mind
though...but things played on her head...she wanted to know what those metal
creatures were...and why they were rampaging a junkyard of all places.
OOC: Phantom it's your cue to post me thinks.
OOC:
*cough*cough*
