[IC] Welcome Back to the Guild

[Kaga]

Muse narrowed his eyes at Books’ words, nodding slowly as she attempted to work through what she had said. Though since she didn’t recall ever being a “human lizard hybrid” (at least not recently), she still had no idea what was going on. Thankfully, Rae’s explanation made things a bit clearer. “Ohhhh they drugged me? That explains some things.” she replied. “I remember waking up feeling like I was drunk off my ass, and then they had me drink something that cleared my head up quite a bit. But then, I realized that I could hardly go anywhere so long as I had a penis, so then when they weren’t looking, I did this!” she explained, twirling around a bit to show off her new body. “Though I’m not sure that whatever they gave me to start with has worn off completely… my head’s still feeling a little bit fuzzy.” she told them. And, as they had perhaps noticed, she was also rather easily distracted.

“Right! The monster thing!!” she exclaimed, bringing herself back to the problem at hand. “Yeah! It’s, kind of like, attacking people out there in the more open areas…” she explained in response to Books, sounding a bit frantic but also not totally capable of putting her words together right. “I kind of get the feeling that it’s not supposed to be here. Do you guys know how it got in?” she asked.

Then, she turned towards Gwazi again. “And you!” she spoke up. “You… you… you’re being silent.” she noted. “So silent that I feel like I’m gonna have to tally mark my arms just to remember that you’re even there…” she droned on. “…Speaking of which, what did you say you were doing here, again?” she asked. After all, this guy didn’t look much like one of the tribe, now that she thought about it.

[Gwazi Magnum]

According to what they were saying these Amazons had some way to drug/incarcerate males specifically. Good to know, Gwazi would have to watch out for that... hopefully by never going into the amazons village anymore than he already had. Though it also seemed they didn't really know the nature of that ratbug either, which was worrisome. He would be more worried, if it wasn't rampant next to a city full of warriors.

But then suddenly he was called out again for being silent to which he thought "Well you didn't really give me a chance to speak you know". But then he replied "You worried you might forget you ever saw me the second you look away or something? Anyways, I was here gathering supplies, slept outside cause I didn't like the vibe from the village and then woke up to find these two being attack by some creature and then you showed up about immediately after. I've only even been awake for about half an hour now at most".

[Kaga]

Callum’s teleportation didn’t phase GM. Before he could begin to fall, two large, feathered wings sprouted from his back, catching him in the air as he kept flapping to keep himself up, watching Callum begin to fall below him. What did catch him off guard, though, was Callum’s words.

“‘Need to re-think my life’…?” he growled under his breath, glaring down at the falling feline, breathing growing rapid. “…What… the hell… is that supposed to mean?!” he roared, tucking his wings in and diving down after him, gaining speed as he seemed intent on crushing the being from above like a falcon hunting a pigeon.

But before he could make contact, though, a warning message flashed in front of his eyes that only he could see; “UNAUTHORIZED CREATOR ACCESS DETECTED. LAUNCHING ADMINISTRATOR SUMMON NOW.”

He braked hard in the air, tensing up at the sight of the message. “What?! No no wait I’m busy-” he protested, but he couldn’t do anything. Almost instantaneously, he vanished.

And back in his little hideaway, right next to Leon and the computer, a massive winged wolf landed on the floor, panting heavily as he blinked and looked around, eyes adjusting to the relative darkness. While he wasn’t exactly in the mood to see what sort of threat his system had detected, and was far more interested in going back to what he was doing before, he did a double-take when he saw Leon sitting in front of his computer, and froze there for a moment, just staring. “…What are you doing?” he finally asked. Then, his eyes widened in anger when he took a closer look at the hologram display. “Is that… Basilix…?!” he growled, stepping forward menacingly.

[booksmusicanime]

"I-I think the monster stuck in on my back." Books said with super wide eyes. "W-we have to go and help them!" She said flailing her arms. She didn't want to think that she was the cause of people's deaths.

[Neobullseye]

Leon was so drawn into the magic of the program that he didn't really notice that GM had came back until the 'man' (or whatever GM was) spoke up to him. "Huh, what?," the disturbed man mumbled, turning around to see who was behind him. Oh, it was just GM, who finally came back from whatever he was doing down belo- OHSHITGMISBACK! To make things worse, he was quite obviously not happy to see Leon behind his laptop, and even less amused to see what he was doing.
"Uhm, I, uh, I was just...," Leon stumbled, obviously panicking and looking for an excuse -- and horribly failing at doing so. "I was just looking at things! And... playing around a bit. But mostly looking! It's just, I got bored and really didn't know what to do! You were off so long and, well, maybe I should've not touched your laptop, but you left it running and it looked so shiny and pretty and I just wanted to try it myself to see if I could make stuff work and thingies and-"
Leon's rant was cut short due to something called needing to breathe. All the way through said rant, the only thought that went through Leon's head was I'mgonnadieiI'mgonnadieI'mgonnadie!, put on constant repeat. Yeah, he was not feeling all that well p there at the moment. But then again, that has been the case for quite some while now, so eh.
"As for the dragon man, I thought to made a backup of it. See, I can be responsible!" To show this (quite pathetic excuse) to his master, Leon went to the File tab and moved the cursor to the 'Open' button. ...Sadly for the panicked Leon, his hand was trembling so badly he accidentally clicked the 'Run' button instead of 'Open'. "Uhm... whoopsie?," the young man spoke as he look around, now both afraid of GM's judgment and possibly dying in a horrible fashion (again, and quite possibly several times) due to whatever creature he has just summoned to this realm.

[Rithas]

Callum was still screaming to the top of his lungs, he noticed the GM come down at him like a fricking hawk. (which only added to his screaming) but then he suddenly disappeared. the ground was getting bigger and bigger. By now Callum couldn't scream as his throat was unable to move. He couldn't even breath, the wind was rushing past him. He had to think, he tried to do whatever he did to get him up there, but he couldn't think. The ground was getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

I'm falling and I'M GOING TO DIE....Falling,think...falling....dying.....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!.........THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.....I'M GOING TO DIE....I'M GOING TO DIE FUSED WITH A CAT....A GIANT CAT......
I'm a cat,.....a cat......A cat can do high distances? I'M GOING TO DIE THINKING I CAN LIVE CAUSE I'M A CAT!

How did cat's land? They kinda spread their legs out like this.....and stretched their body....and positioned themselves like this. but that wouldn't change much.....he had to calm himself....calm.....He wanted to go home....his home. Back to his bed......bed......

If you were something living in that now completely destroyed city, with rubble everywhere. Flaming wrecks of trains, rivers of milk. but you would of noticed the final ending to the city. More like, the world that Callum was in. As every single spot in the world was covered, by one giant bed. one humongous bed. With a black blanket, and probably too many pillows not to break your neck.

Callum fell into it, and to his surprise, didn't explode everywhere. "I'm alive" He said meekly, it killed him to talk. All he could feel was relief, but then everything had came back to him.

Kole had died......horribly died. ripped in half.....and then he fought a god. and....he was alive. HE WAS ALIVE....and Kole was not.....He wanted to go home. He wanted to pause....and wait in this giant bed. He looked at himself, he was a cat. which brought up one more thing.

"Mk? Hello.......I don't know where you are...but thank you...Even if I feel like shitting my.....ummm...self.....I don't have pants....but thanks...."

[Animelover_princess]

Rae felt the color drain from her cheeks when Muse said the monster was attacking things and she immediately stood."a, i'm not entirely sure they even realize you have, well had, a penis, they're pretty convinced we're spirits of some kind, and i don't know if their version of spirits are anatomically correct" she managed to find a chuckle in her weary soul "b, you just let it attack people? you didn't help or anything?" she paused for a second "and C, it's not fair you made yourself, you know, bigger then me" she gestured in the general area of Muse's boobs. "now we need to go help those people, as Books said, I'm not sure how much fire i have left but i'm damn well gonna use it"

[Gwazi Magnum]

Gwazi picked up his sword that he had just dropped on the ground, and he said while picking it up "If that monsters going around attacking more innocents, my conscious wouldn't let me ignore it. I'll help in any way I can". He looked at Muse quickly then and added on "Just... keep me as a guy though. I rather like the way I am currently".

[booksmusicanime]

Books gained a determined look to her blue eyes. Yes, underneath that bravery was fear and a whole bunch of it but she didn't want to be scared facing that monster again. She wanted to get out of here but she wasn't going to leave by having people help her to it. She was going to get out herself. "Well let's go! The longer we stand here the more people might die!" She said her hands clenching into fist and the rocks around her feet shooks.

[Gwazi Magnum]

The ratbug being a rather large creature had to have left some footsteps when he ran off. Gwazi checked the ground quickly and noticed the tracks "If we follow these we should be able to find him soon, and wounded since we literally just fought him". But then started running off in the direction of the tracks, without really waiting for the others to follow.

[booksmusicanime]

Books took off after Gwazi. Even though her poor little body was racketed with tiredness she was running on pure adrenaline. Her hair flew out in blonde streaks behind her as she poured on speed. She was soon running just a few steps behind Gwazi. She wouldn't let anyone get hurt, not if she had anything to do with it. You've got to give it your all. You can save people from that stupid creature. So don't be scared and be strong. She thought as she furrowed her eyebrows together as she ran.

[Animelover_princess]

Rae watched as the other 2 ran out. she took a deep breath, looked at Muse, then shot after them. her breath ragged she lingered a few feet behind the pair but didn't lose sight of them and she slowly gained on them. just trying to build up her inner fire in order to fight off that thing again. she also tried to focus it as she ran, sending it's energy to her legs, which sped her up, even if only a little and she just kept trying to stoke that fire, as she began to hear the noises that she assumed belonged to their assailant and his newest victims.

[Kaga]

GM’s eyes stayed locked onto his holo-screen as Leon babbled and stammered nervously. While he seemed angered at first, his menacing demeanor seemed to slowly shift into sadness and despair as he continued to stare, almost seemingly tuning the boy’s words out. “Bah… Bas…” he whimpered quietly, before he shifted back into his humanoid form as he lunged at the computer. “Bassiiiiiieeeeeeee!!!!!” he wailed, shoving Leon away as he cradled the device in his arms, seemingly on the verge of tears. “What happened to yooooouuuu?!” he screamed, looking straight at the 2D screen as the hologram plastered itself all over his face. He then realized what Leon had just done, and he turned his head to see the large lizard-man standing tall next to him.

“Bassie?” he whispered, sounding surprised that the creature could even be there. He quickly rose to his feet, looking the green man in the eyes… only to see said eyes staring blankly ahead. The creature stood as still and as lifeless as the hologram that depicted him, as if he were nothing more than a life-size, flesh-and-blood version of the same model. GM seemed confused, until he looked back down at the computer screen, and saw a small error window. “Oh, yeah, I forgot…” he sighed, crouching down in front of the thing to X out of the tiny window that said something about some file that couldn’t be found. “That’s why I never tried that before…” he trailed off, seemingly now ignoring Leon completely as he looked sadly back at his reptilian companion; the creature’s only movement being its own, slow, calm breathing.

GM then waved his hand in front of Basilix, causing the creature to change from his more monster-like form to his more human-like one… Except, instead of the form that he was used to seeing, Basilix transformed into whatever fun creation Leon had left it on when it auto-saved.

GM jumped back in surprise, swiftly yanked out of his melancholy mood, as the anger began to flare up inside him again. “What…” he started to speak, breathing heavily again. “What did you do to him?!?” he roared, before, in a panic, diving for the laptop again, and returning to the tab that housed Basilix’s other form, spamming ctrl + Z as if his life depended on it. Each change undid itself on the hologram and, in unison, on the living creature itself, as he stood there, not reacting, not even flinching. Until, as GM undid the last couple changes, Basilix apparently lost his balance, and, after a few weak, instinctual attempts to catch himself, the creature toppled to the ground like a rag doll, and just laid there, still staring ahead with the same frozen expression.

GM flinched when he saw Basilix fall, but he relaxed slightly not long after, as the lizard seemed to be fine, and GM was able to reverse all of the changes made. He let out a brief sigh of relief as he saved the file, then closed up his laptop, walking back to the reptile on the floor, just staring at him sadly for a few seconds. “Sleep.” he commanded, watching as Basilix’s eyes closed and his muscles relaxed, mouth hanging open as he quickly drifted off. GM kept his eyes locked on his sleeping pet for a few more seconds before, slowly, he turned back towards Leon, eyes burning with an intense rage as his hands clenched themselves into fists. “Now then…” he seethed. “What… the hell… did you think you were doing?!”

[Kaga]

“You let the monster in?!” Muse reacted, before quickly shaking her head. “Gah, no time to worry about that now!” she spoke up before Books could respond. “Yes it’s hurting people and yes we should go help! And sorry I… don’t know why I didn’t think to help them, myself.” Muse told Rae, rubbing the back of her head a bit sheepishly as her clouded thinking was starting to show through. Thankfully, though, she didn’t have time to feel guilty; the girls were already off to fight the thing. She quickly scurried off to follow them. “Oh and, don’t worry,” she turned around and told Gwazi before hurrying after them. “I can’t change anyone else. Just myself.” she reassured him, before turning back around and hurrying after the girls.

As Muse took off after the others, she couldn’t help but be somewhat impressed by the girls’ determination. Books looked about as strong and courageous as she’d ever seen her, and Rae, while she’d fought hard in the past, still had yet to run out of steam. Even the new guy was pretty on-the-ball, knowing that the creature would still be wounded and they could follow its tracks — wait, who did that guy say he was again?? Oh, no time to worry about that! Muse struggled to maintain her focus as she continued to follow the others.

Before long, the sounds of screaming could be heard up ahead. The group soon made their way out of the narrow corridor and into the more wide-open area that the girls first saw when they entered the village, though while before it was mostly filled with relaxed tribal members, it was now filled with fear. The ratbug stood in the center of the space, one of its legs clutching the wound in its abdomen, as men and women alike stood with weapons raised, though at a safe distance; no one wanted to get close enough to be hurt.

Once the group entered the open space, the ratbug’s nose twitched. It quickly turned towards the source of the scent. “You again?!” It hissed. “I thought I left you alone — whatever you are. What do you want now?” it growled.

[booksmusicanime]

"To stop you from hurting these innocent people!" Books said the rocks around her feet shaking violently. She glared at the monster, all her earlier fear was buried. Her eyes were a dark stormy blue, like a sea during a terrible storm. Some of her hair had fallen to cover one of her eyes.

[Kaga]

Once the danger had gone and the fused creation known as MKallum laid safely in Callum’s giant bed (though trembling), Callum felt a sort of dream-like sensation briefly come over him again as the two of them separated. Callum’s vision went white for just a second, and, when it cleared, he found himself lying there amongst the giant sheets with MK sitting there next to him. The cat seemed to be shaking just as badly, fur still puffed, but, as things seemed to calm down, the cat did, too. Slowly, he took a few shaky steps towards Callum, starting to cuddle up to him the way cats do.

[Animelover_princess]

Rae took a deep breath as she slid to a stop in the bigger room. she was breathing hard and she had a stitch in her side. but she felt the bundle of fire start to build in her chest again and she shook her arms and shoulders. "leave, all the way out of the village, while you still have the chance, or that burn will be getting bigger" she clasped and un-clasped her hands as she spoke, trying yet again to focus her inner fire into her hands, it was still weak but she fed it as much as she could, and now that she wasn't moving she had more fire to spare.

[Gwazi Magnum]

As the three approached the wide open area Gwazi aimed for his belt and pulled out a throwing dagger to try to open the fight with. Once they got there Gwazi took the second the ratbug would have been distracted by Rae and Books talking to line up his shot. He then threw the dagger, aiming right between the things eyes. And not waiting to see if it hit the creature or not he pulled out his sword and began to run up to the thing "We're not going to let you try to harm anyone else" he said as running closer to the ratbug.

[Neobullseye]

While GM was busy being all emotional over 'Bassie', Leon crawled backwards away from his future executioner as fast as humanly possible, trying to come up with a remotely believable excuse for his actions. Sadly for him, panic tends to obstruct logical thought and reason -- something which Leon's mind's current state was pretty lackluster in anyway.

For a fleeting moment, everything seemed to end relatively well, with GM's anger being quelled by reminiscence of... well, whatever Basilix was reminding him of. Honestly, as long as that meant that Leon wouldn't suffer a horrible fate worse than death, he really didn't care what the exact reason behind GM's calming down was.
Of course, good things are not to last, as Leon found out once again when GM saw his creation. Apparently, he wasn't quite as happy with it as Leon -- or at least as happy as Leon was until a short while ago, before GM came back and got all violent and whatnot. Either way, GM was obviously very pissed, causing Leon to crawl back even further. Sadly for him, a wall was in the way. "I don't know!" he cried out, sounding very afraid. "I was just... playing? I'm sorry! I'll never do it again!" If his voice didn't gave away his fear, his body language sure did; in between the wide eyes, his knees being drawn up to his chest and the fact that he was trembling all over, it was quite obvious the boy was terrified.

[Rithas]

Callum eyes closed as MK-ultra separated from him, "oh....hey" Callum smiled somewhat, snuggling slightly into the gigantic blanket. "There you were, I thought I accidentally did something to you." Callum eyes were softened by the tears deciding to leave. Callum put his hands around MK-ultra . "Lets just........stop me from dying of trauma." He closed his eyes shut.

Perhaps after a few minutes of silence Callum spoke again, his eyes still closed. His body not moving. "So......your........a......umm.....Magic cat?"
