[IC] The Room

[PrinceAlexus]

*Major shrugs*
And I have more important tasks than explain to peoples yet to even move beyond hunter gathering.

Welcome to the stone age...
The ones in furs have at least got steel... Maybe there's some hope for this place in a few centuries.

*goes over to armour and sets it to recharge slowly before walking It to rooom and locks door*

*rests with plasma pistol nearby and checks for any signs of communications from his people using armours interface. *

*Lecter glances at the Major before returning his attention to Xan*
Lecter: Hope. Coming from someone that destroyed their world with nukes.
*He sighs*
Lecter: Name's Lecter. And you're better off ignoring Togan for now. He's not here to stay.

[Vulkan 707]

John: Yeah I bet!
*John keeps running, and his minds races on trying to figure out how the singularity storm started.*

*The floating creatures watch the duo with interest, and use telepathy to guide the larger creature (Unknown to everyone of course.)*

*The larger creature slams into the ground eighty yards away from Horus and John, easily smashing the trees under it's bulk.*
*It's similar to much of the old myth dragons, expect sporting a extra pair of smaller wings, and tentacles line it's back. It is covered all over in the viscous tar, and only brief glimmers of purple scales can be seen as the tar drips off it's body and wings. It's reptilian head is as well mostly covered in tar, and lacks any eyes or nostrils. The beast opens it's gaping purple maw towards the pair, displaying row upon row of purple crystalline teeth.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Xan nods to Lecter*
Xan: Xan. Why he not stay? You kill?!
*She seems excited at the prospect*

*Togan merely growls at them both as he's not allowed to really do much more than that*

*Horus keeps running*
Horus F&$*! Do you have anything that might distract it! Even for a moment!?

[Vulkan 707]

John: No... we are fucked.. Wait! There is hope!
*John's wearing his helmet, but if Horus could see his face he would see that he is wide eyed, and happy. He quickly scrambles at his belt to find something, but is unable to find it. His head hangs slightly, and he shakes his head.*
John: Nope never mind... we are fucked.

*The huge beast takes a step towards the duo, and opens it's jaws.*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter nods once*
Lecter: For now, I have higher priorities than a minion. A runaway Outsider, Tiaz, and... other matters.
*He glances briefly out at the storm, and flexes his grip on his pistol as he catches a glimpse of an armored figure standing in the shadows of the trees*
Lecter: But Togan isn't here to stay. If anything, it's a mercy.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus turns to face the beast*
Horus: Well if you've got any spare weapons... I'd appreciate being able to use them before I die...
*A tear rolls down his face as he thinks of Iris, then he roars at the beast*
Horus: Come on you overgrown gecko!

*Xan nods eagerly*
Xan: Please! End him! Now!
*She looks suddenly afraid at the mention of Tiaz*

[Vulkan 707]

*John frowns at Horus under his helm.*
John: Your finger wouldn't even fit between the trigger guard.
*He brings his quad barrel around, and fires a volley at the dragon creature.*
John: I do have a combat knife, if that helps?
*He tosses his combat knife to Horus.*

*The beast roars in rage at being shot at, and tries to slam his tail down on the pair.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus grips the knife, which is tiny in his hands*
Horus: Better than nothing!
*He stumbles to the right, dodging the tail, then rams the knife into it and attempts to tear open a long wound with it*

[Vulkan 707]

*John tries to avoid the tail smash, but doesn't get out of the way fully. So he is violently swatted to the ground.*
*He starts slowly getting up, and a bit of blood leaks from his helmets rebreather grill.*

*Johns combat knife snaps as Horus tries to ram it into the creature, Horus's forearm is also covered in the tar which buns slightly.*

*The dragon roars in some confusion at Horus attacking his tail, and spews a torrent of purple energy and tar at him.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus dives, trying to get under the blast, but still gets his lower legs and feet burned*
*He roars in pain, staggers to his feat and hurls himself at the creature, pummeling with his fists and grappling, wanting to go down fighting as he thinks there's no way out of this*
*He does his best to ignore the pain from the tar and other injuries*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter sighs*
Lecter: Not that simple. But everyone will get what they deserve.
*The Devil Hunter holsters his pistol and turns away*
Lecter: One night of rest, then I hunt.

*Karma lands in front of Togan, her wing almost healed*
How long before you are healthy, or will you remain a cripple?

[Vulkan 707]

*The beast towers over Horus, and beats his ragged wings sending tar clumping all over him.*
*At this point Horus is covered head to toe in this thick tar, that slightly burns the skin.*
*It manages to stay upright as it is semi-tackled from Horus, and is being held by the him. Horus's punches are being slowed from punching it's tar layer, and purple scales.*

*Just then (xD) a white beam of light similar to a eldar brightlance hits the creatures flank causing it to roar with rage. It turns its head towards where it was shot, and roars.*

*John takes the opportunity to shoot his quad barrel.*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna kisses Iris on the sides of her snout repeatedly*

Hanna: I-I'm fine! A-a-as long as you a-are!

*She breaks out crying and buries her face in Iris's chest (Which is pretty easy tbh)*

----

*Walter nods to Iris and just waits*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan groans and stands up unsteadily. He glares at her*
Togan: I... heal... quick... What... you... want?
*Xan backs away sharply*

*Horus roars in pain and does his best to beat the snot out of the monster before he's killed*

*Iris is a bit surprised at the kisses but holds Hanna tightly as she buries her face in Iris's chest*
Iris: Oh my dear...
*A few hot tears run down her snout*
Iris: I'm sorry.. I'll not let this happen again!
*She looks at Walter*
Iris: Thank you.. it would appear that I owe you my life...

[LemonZest1337]

*Walter might have cracked a smile if he wasn't such and ass*

Walter: You are welcome. This encounter has made me see the I might just be needed here. When you are ready to move please tell me, I will assist you back to you room... And think nothing of being in my dept, saving another's life when the threat was something so trivial. Nonsense. You own me nothing, but if you could stop by every now and then I might be able to help you figure out things about yourself. If you require it.

*Hanna stays attached to Iris*

[Vulkan 707]

*Horus is at this point covered head to toe in tar, his hits are sluggish, and the dragon simply ignores him and turns towards the thing that hurt his flank.*
*Another beam of white energy stabs into the flank of the beast, and howls with rage. It stomps the ground, and spews another torrent of tar lightning. It roars at the treeline, and takes to the skies.*

*John keeps shooting his quad barrel as the beast flies off. He sighs with relief, and looks around.*
*From out of nowhere a heavily armored figure walks towards the duo. They have a strange looking tower shield with a exotic looking lance ending in a barrel. On their back is a large futuristic looking sword, and some form of compact machine gun. They walk directly towards John, who watches in awe, and punches him in the face.*

*The floating creatures watch silently.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus keeps fighting sluggishly and tries to shake off some tar to get at the beast again*

*Iris nods and sits up weakly, still holding Hanna*
Iris: Still... thank you...
*She nods and holds out a hand for help standing*
Iris: I think... I can get back to my room... with some help...
*She lifts Hanna with her when she gets up*

[PrinceAlexus]

*the major keeps working on his armour trying to raise anyone on frequency and maybe find out a way back*

*Furia, Nonac and the horsemen all have weapons drawn, tensely standing off as they both wait for the other yo make the first move*

[Vulkan 707]

*Giant drake creature is flying around at the moment, roaring in rage.*
*Armored figure with tower shield tries to kick John in the sternum, but he manages to roll away.*
Armored figure: You abandoned me you piece of shit!
*Voice is heavy with static, but it has a feminine hint to it.*
John: You were they one who didn't make it to the drop site! And be honest, you'd do the same!
*Armored figure growls in response, turns to look at Horus, and lifts her lance.*
*A bulb of light blooms from it's tip.*
John: Wait! He's not a enemy! Relax Sasha!
Sasha: Don't tell me to fucking relax John! You see the size of this singularity storm!? *Gestures to Horus with her lance, which is still glowing.* What the fuck are you?
