Crisis: Mars! [Full unless you're Brilliant]

Renat received no answer, so he quietly watched, hoping to figure out what the four people were doing - having just appeared out of thin air. The rock man and the teleporting lady, Cassie, were clearly not ordinary people. Though he could only guess whether the other two were normal or powered, he had to assume they were friendly. Cassie had saved him from an electric net, for whatever reason. Seeing as she had teleported along with the other three and they were not leaving her lying in the street, she was probably willingly with them. Even if this Cassie had ulterior motives, Renat couldn't just go back home. Sticking with her was probably the best thing to do. For now at least.

After a resting his palm on Cassie's forehead for a moment, the glass-wearing man announced, "She is asleep." He then continued to briefly look over Cassie. He then stood up, turned to Renat and stared at him in silence. Did I do something wrong?

"Are you an anomaly." Wow, this guy speaks with less expression than that X4. That must have been a question, judging from the sentence structure. Or maybe English is his second language? He does have a slight accent hidden under that monotone.

"If by anomaly you mean someone who has discovered that they appear to have a 'power', yes - I guess so... I don't exactly want anything to do with it, though I haven't heard of any way I can get rid of it. Nor does it seem I can hide it from the U.S.F. even though next to no one knows about it." He paused, glancing at the stone man and teen girl who were looking at a screen flickering with a map. "So, um, what are you guys doing? I'd like somewhere to hide from the U.S.F. too. For a bit. I-if it's not too much trouble. It probably wouldn't be best for me to go back home just yet."

@Peaceless, I'm going to assume Chris has at least a slight accent (well, from the Martian's perspective - seeing as you only really notice accents when they are foreign to you) due to being born and raised Egypt. If he doesn't, let me know and I'll edit it out of my post.

Though blowing people up on TF2 also works wonders.

@Sep

True dat. I haven't played TF2 in a few weeks... quite unusual for me... But I have been incredibly busy with school. Now I'm in mid-year exams. My first one is tomorrow and the next on Monday. Believe it or not, I actually prefer exam time to normal school time. Yes, there is far more work at home, but there is much more free time, since I don't have School taking up 7 to 9 hours of the day.

It's funny how different people deal with frustration. I don't remember being driven to punch or kick walls or other objects much at all in my life, something which many characters and people seem to do. I just find something else to do to take my mind off it, like yesterday I just played a game for a while instead of actually going and kicking a wall. My Drakken empire shall rule over Auriga! (If anyone has the game I'm referencing, we should play sometime!)

Never mind me, I like musing over and analyzing how people work. I like to think it'll make me a better writer, but I don't know. XD

There we go. It isn't the masterpiece it was before (:P), but it'll do.

Yes, pressing back also restores the text for me. Unfortunately, I pressed refresh.

Zap! Renat was fuming at the Stun Cuffs. He wanted to shout at the X3s, but tried to keep his voice level when he asked, "Can you please at least turn off the shocks from these cuffs? I'm not some devious interplanetary criminal. These things are getting ridiculous!"

Before any response could come, if it would have come, there was a bright flash of light behind him; followed closely by a blast of wind that knocked Renat over. He stopped himself from from face-planting with his hands. Another pulse from the Stun Cuffs caused him to drop, landing on his right shoulder. He could hear the sounds of a fight, metal being torn and crushed, from the direction the flash had originated. He lay still, as if he could become invisible, and hoped that whoever was there would either not notice him or not want him dead. The scuffle then ended as quickly as it had started.

"Cassie? Cass? You all right?" Whoever it was was not paying Renat any attention. He lifted his head and opened his eyes to see two people - a white-haired teen girl with a gun and an expressionless man with glasses - looking somewhat disoriented. There was a thing - it seemed to be a person made of stone - crouched over someone else. All that Renat saw from behind the red-stone person was some red-brown hair. "Cass, wake up Cassie."

Another shock was released from the stun cuffs, however this one did not feel as painful to Renat. Puzzled, he looked at his wrists and - with a shock (thankfully, not from the cuffs this time) - realised that the ground had 'grown' a few centimetres onto his skin. Most of the right side of his body had some of the ground crawling a couple centimetres up.

Ah! Get off! Get off! Get off! Renat panicked. He felt the grip of the Earth loosen and, as soon as he could move his right side again, he pushed himself up - his heart rate and breathing both rapid. A sparking sound on the ground caused him to jump again. The cuffs had fallen off him, bent with lips at the ends, as if they had instantly molten, fallen off his wrists, then solidified again. Or been repelled by his skin. Where he had been lying was now a slight indent into the ground, again with a ridge on the edge. Fortunately his unwanted, but for once useful, power had the common sense to leave his clothes on.

Renat turned to the four people, his heart still pounding. He recognised the woman as soon as he had looked around the rock-man's broad shoulders. He should have realised from the flash and blast of wind. That was the woman who had teleported in front of the net. She must have teleported again. "Is she alright?" he asked, not sure what else to say.

Pardon me while I kick a wall in frustration. I had typed out a few paragraphs for a post, then accidentally refreshed the page a few sentences from completion. I'm going to do something else now, I'll type it up again later tonight.

I feel incredibally stupid for not having done it in a Word document.

Don't worry, I'll make sure that Mar has someone to play with one way or another.

@Sep

Yeah, will still be interesting with NPC characters.

Crisis: Mars! [Full unless you're Brilliant]

Ouch! Renat mentally exclaimed as the stun-cuffs were put on him, promptly sending a shock through his system.

"No." The robot gave Renat's second question a brief response.

Well, thanks a lo- Ouch! The shock hurt and caused him to jump, but fortunately the cuffs were not sending him into a spasm like that net had done to the woman. Renat still felt a bit guilty about running and leaving her, but she had told him to. What he felt even more guilty about was that he had gotten himself captured anyway.

Suddenly the robot-with-an-attitude turned and marched away wordlessly. "Hey, where are you goi- Ow!"

Well, I guess it's just me and these dumb X3s. What are we even doing, just standing here and looking pretty? This is embarrassing, what if someone recognises me? Rumours will probably be spreading in moments... Shock, pause. Since when did I care about what what the others at school think? Those who moan don't matter, those who matter don't moan about me. I just hope Richard and Anna are safe. Owww!! Dang, this thing is thing is going to get annoying.

VI's don't, AI do.

@Sep

?wut¿ *is confused*

That's pretty much what I said, since he is an AI. He is superior to other robots because he can think (and other reasons too).
