Life as
standard
(http://www.labofabyll.com/forum/threadid.php?threadid=1263)
AX shrugged, "Dunno
what that is, but these are just standard protoshades with some home-made
modifications. I just need to think of some difference between our mavs and
other reploids that would show up."
Alpheus stepped forward. "Say, one of the
mavericks uses stealth, right? Can't you scan for something like that?"
"Ya,
I could search for a stealth field, but knowing Shadow Demon, I'd be surprised
if it hasn't been destroyed by a stray shot yet."
Porthos roared as
the shots slammed into her mouth, canceling her attack. She shook her head in
pain and headbutted Cor out of the way.
She then targetted Tia and
pointed her long tail at her, the tip end opened as a barrel appeared in its
place, charging up with electrical energy.
She was about to fire when
fireballs rained on her, causing her to roar in agony. ProtoX landed on the roof
of one of the buildings. Before she could face ProtoX, Rock landed on her and
stuck his beam saber through her back.
Porthos' scream grew louder as she
grabbed Rock and ripped him and his beam saber off her back and threw him at
ProtoX, knocking them both to the ground. Having had enough of them ruining her
"fun" she aimed her tail cannon at them as the charge grew to the size of a
basketball.
Cor slammed off the
ground and he sat up slowly,feeling a warm trickle down his
ear.
"....stupid...stupid..argh.."
He stood up and took flight
landing beside Tia,wiping the blood from his head onto his poncho.
She slammed her body weight into Porthos's cheek, slamming both fists into the large mehca dragons eyes.
Cor charged up and kicked off the ground landing on Porthos` shoulder blade,he ignited his beam sabers and slashed downwards into it.
Porthos roared in even more agony and canceled her charged tail cannon, stumbling away from the ambush and flying off from the group. Both ProtoX and Rock sighed in relief. Last time they tried taming Porthos from a Sigma Virus, Robot Rescue was two seconds away from becoming a crumbled building.
"Not this time..." Tiamats voice was a mix of 3, soft, hoarse, and in the same time...a melody. She boosted off after the large dragon.
Cor landed back on
teh ground,holding his head,"urghn..",he staggered and slumped against a
wall.
"that hurt a lot more than it felt at first....ow.."
Rock and ProtoX
looked at each other. ProtoX then takes out his cell phone.
ProtoX: Yo,
Zecil. You have another one of those anti-viral serums?
Then...they heard Lyra shrieking her head off: "OMGOMGOMG!!! It's a real Black dragon!! LISAAAAAAAAAA!!! VALGAAAAAAAAAAV!!!"
Dragoon who had the
bad luck to have stood beside Lyra clasped his hands over his
ears.
"ow..easy jeez,large ears = sensitive,Sen,sit,tive"
Rock and ProtoX
just looked at Lyra sweatdropped.
Rock: What you think? Dragon obbsessed
or scared out of her mind?
ProtoX: I don't know, why don't you ask
her?
Rock: I just had my hearing sensors repaired after trying to fix
that wailing rabbit reploid. I don't wanna break them again.
Cor had his eyes closed in pain trying to ignore the pain in his head,his wings beat weakly before he took off chasing after Tia and Porthos.
Tiamat connected her fists with the side of Porthos's head.
Porthos' head
jarred a bit, leaving a dent on the side of her face, but that didn't faze her
much. She roared and clamped her jaws on Tia's arm.
She rears her head up
and jerks it down, opening her mouth and throwing Tia towards the ground. Then
continues flying off.
Tiamat slammed into
the ground, she rubbed her head.
Ouch...how are we
doing?
You've got about...10 to 20 more minutes of fusion time left...
Geo replied to her. Less if little Zero can't hold the
effects of it all
Chitter
Alright I hear ya.
She boosted
back up and went towards Porthos, her beamsaber was instantly unsheathed, and
turned into a large wand with a blue orb on the end, she slammed it into the
dragons eye.
Cremo watched the
battle longingly, then turned to face AX, who was sitting and leaning again a
wall. "Well? Are we going to go now, or can I go and fight too?"
Author X
began to snore softly. Alpheus facepalmed, and Cremo kicked the author in the
side.
"I thought you were thinking of a way to trace the Mavericks!"
"I
was."
"You were asleep!"
"Ya, well, I thought of it before I fell
asleep."
"..."
Alpheus sighed, "c'mon, let's just go
already."
"Alright, hold your horses. You see, I can scan for a number of
things, but I can't differentiate between our Mavericks and other reploids..."
he turned and tapped an invisible button on his shades, "...but this is the edge
of the abandoned district. There's only one energy signature in that direction,
and it's just about the right size, several blocks that-a-way."
The other two
took off without waiting for him to stall anymore.
Again Porthos
screamed in agony, shaking her head until Tiamat lost her grip on the saber and
went flying across the sky. The saber was still stuck in her eye as she
continued to scream and claw at the saber, some of the window shattering from
the ear piercing sound.
Suddenly, a tranq-dart the size of a small
missile hit her neck. Porthos' screaming slowly softened until she finally shut
her beak. The effects of the serum caused her to lose flight and fall on some of
the buildings, paralyzed as the anti-viral stuff was slowly consuming the Sigma
Virus that had infected her.
Zecil rested his bazooka on the ground, Rock
and ProtoX looking at the now sleeping mayhem before them.
Zecil: I have
got to start installing more anti-viral barriers on her.
Cor fell from the
sky landing in an alley,his chest slamming into a dumpster and his head managing
to land on the end,not hitting anything.He tried to pull himself up but lost the
strength to,he was tired beyond exhaustion from moving through the shadows and
now his current condition didn`t help that,he rolled over and landed painfully
on his right wing,it made a snapping sound and a sharp spear of pain shot
through his spine.
"...argh..not my day...."
Tiamat slammed into
a building. She shook off dizzily and sunk to the ground, collapsing and
shutting down.
Too much for her..?
Yeah...she
couldn't remain stable...
So what now...?
We have to shut down for a few
hours after we de-fuse...
in that moment she seperated into three
pieces, herself, Zero, and Geo.
A jeep pulled up where Tia had fallen,a large figure stepping out of it and helping her,Geo and Zero into the back seat,Set closed the door over and sighed,"you`ll be safer in this than on the streets anyway"
AX skipped along the tops of the buildings, humming to himself as he dodged the falling bodies and tried to catch up.
While Zecil was figuring out how he was going to get Porthos back home, Rock and ProtoX decided to head back to Robot Rescue and continue work.
Lyra...had simply fainted from horrified shock.
Kyojin peeked over
at Lyra and licked her face.
-----
India put the keys on the
counter. "Honey I'm Ho---" she looked on as Moore was trying to mop up blood
from her cream tile floor.
"Who did you kill?" she asked. Then she stopped.
"No...this is a new place Moore and I can't even keep it decent for 10 minutes
with you around!"
Moore :
"uh....uh..."
Indias eye was twitching
dangerously,"well?".
"....uh..I love you?"
He made a cheesy grin
on his face but that quickly disappeared.
Moore : "it`ll be clean soon
dear"
India : "damn right it will"
---
Dragoon caught Lyra
before she fell to the ground.
"easy there"
---
Cor winced
in pain and he turned onto his back,meeting eyes with several ugly
faces.
"well well,birdy fell from the sky,lets make a pillow with those
feathers,get him boys!"
He tried to defend himself as best he could as
knife weilding mishapen people hurled themselves at him.
"Mother!!" Valgaav rushed out of the restaurant. "Is she all right?!"
Dragoon gave Valgaav a grim look and spoke in a mourning tone,"I`m sorry kid,I can only give her a 100% chance of recovery,heh,get me a cold glass of water or something to wake her up with anyway"
Valgaav sighed,
then waved a pouch in front of her face.
Lyra immediately woke up.
"...ohhhh...did I pass out again, Val?"
"Yes, mother, you
did."
Lyra blushes a little, then stood up and went inside.
Val
grinned at Dragoon and opened the pouch to reveal a few locks of silvery-blue
hair. "Xellos actually clipped it during a battle, once, to try and repay his
dept to me," he explained. "Since Mother is deeply in love with him, one whiff
of his scent is sure to wake her up from the deepest sleep."
Dragoon stroked his
chin,"yea but...isn`t she married now,wouldn`t Koryortos hair do the same
job?"
---
Speaking of which.
"you are pathetic Ishida,get
out of my sight..."
Kor raised the ensui to block his opponent and got to
his feet,he was facing someone whos hair was whiter than his own,his gaze colder
than the ice of the ensui.
"I am not quitting
Sepiroth...engarde!"
It may have been a weaker version of the original
but it seemed Legions old cloning tanks proved useful.Vile watched the fight
from afar,keeping his eyes fixed on his pupil.
---
The gangers
finally ran screaming as the first neck was snapped,Cor pulled himself to his
feet,his broken wing sagging lower than the other,both had lost a lot of
feathers and were bleeding,his poncho was slashed to
ribbons.
"....must..get home..."
Val shrugged.
"Dunno why he gave the lock to me. All he said is that it's a better way to wake
her up than smelling salt or water."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And speaking of
Xellos...
"hmmmmmmmmm...omoshiroi..." Xellos chuckled as he watched Kor's
fight. "This is VERY interesting..."
As Sepiroth brought
his sword back into a fighting position,he rolled his eyes and almost sighed in
disappointment,Kor narrowed his eyes and ran his hand across ensuis blade
mouthing a silent prayer,this sword was forged of his own blood,it could never
fail him,the blade extended trying to match Seps in length.They stood there
unmoving,Kor edged his foot forward slightly and that was the signal,Sep ran
forward,pitched towards Kor slightly then swung his blade upwards in a curve,Kor
tried to defend but was rewarded with the ice blade shattering and a long scar
up his chest.
"you may be able to fight some things,but a god is not one
of them,SIN HARVEST!"
Kor could barely see the attack that hit him,when
it was finished he was an inch from death,his body numb with pain and his vision
blurred,Xellos was enjoying this part very much.
"and now for the final
blow,then I may as well kill the rest here,including whoever shares that ring
you wear"
...that was the wrong button to push,Kor rose to his feet and
his wings burst from his back,he was still almost dead from pain but he wouldn`t
make his last stand on his knees.Sep faded out of sight and Kor quickly jumped
back,just avoiding the arc of Seps blade and then thrust forward,a few inches
peirced Sepiroths chest,pressing against his heart,his expression finally
showing fear.
"you`ll NEVER TOUCH HER!"
The ensui surged with
power and several more inches shot out of Seps back,the mighty warrior dead.The
blade fell to the floor as water and Kor collaspsed drained.
Vile clapped
quietly,helping his student to his feet.
"just remember that one wasn`t a
patch on the original,but you did good kid,very good indeed"
Arthur walked along
in the alley, the inactive Medley still over one shoulder. "I shouldn't of tried
to take roof-top route... I forgot how much a load can affect jumping ability."
He stepped aside as some gang members ran past. As he continued, he stopped and
sighed. "Hey, Cor. Help you in a sec."
He dropped Medley on the pavement,
then removed his hand crossbow from his robe, and removed and folded it, and
tossing it aside with a faint and muffled clatter. It didn't bounce. Then he
heaved Medley back onto one shoulder again and offered Cor a hand up with his
free hand. "Here, I know the way back already and you can't possibly weigh more
than my armament... it's a helluva lot of daggers and bolts in there, believe
me."
"no...I`m
fine...just help me onto my feet and I can get back home....",he took hold of
Arthurs hand,the assasin didn`t seem that pleased it was slick with
blood.
"sorry about that...gang related trouble..."
Arthur raised an eyebrow. "No, it's fine. I'm... used to the sight, if not the feeling. You really don't look so good, though, so let's get going. Don't make me drug you and carry you myself, I'll do it if I have to."
"hah,look my body may be torn up but my legs work fine,just keep me from falling down,my house ain`t that far anyway"
India's body tensed
up as she looked out into the distance of the
sky.
"......"
"Nyou!!"
"Yeah....let's go." She nodded to Sokuro and
they both darted off, she shifted into the form of a lionfish mew, both
disappearing in a burst of bubbles.
-----
Zero yawned and
chittered, shaking off. Since she was the smallest, it would take her less time
to re-charge. She squeaked and stretched.
Moore shrugged and
continued to mop up.
---
Set turned in the chair and petted Zeros
head,"hey morning lil one,your master gonna take awhile to wake
up?"
---
Kor panted for breath as Vile started work on his chest
wound,he was a man of many talents but he didn`t want anybody knowing
it.
Zero purred and
nuzzled Setsunas hand, nodding gently and mrowing much like an affectionate
feline would.
--------
Sokuro and Indi both perched above Vile.
Sokuro let out an agitated mew.
Set : "Cor would
probably have a fit if he saw her like that"
---
Kor got to his
feet,"I`m I alright now?","yea your fine,just don`t overdo it","okay I`m gonna
go see Lyra"
