Al'keck fallowed keeping to the upper trees of the forest. Upon closer inspection of the soldiers he saw the Masreo corporate markings on their uniforms. Al'keck had no real love of any of the Corps, but Masreo was one he had a particular disdain for. Trying to hire him to do a simple assassination. A simple human scientist how would of been easy prey. An insult to The Great Hunt. That made his decision bit easier.

Once they arrived at the house though he kept to the trees for the moment, studying the situation. For the moment he had surprise on them, and this planet served him well, the humidity and the heat hid his own body from any thermal imaging, even with out his suit. Two squads of five below, two gunships circling over head. Raising his arms he started to type into his computer before he pulled out his combat knife "On your knees" he heard shouting bellow him. The man was surrendering "not today" he said a slight smirk on his face. He moved down from the trees keeping to the thick fauna and waited.

Suddenly two missiles came out of nowhere. The two gunships started to pull up, moving evasively. One of the missiles struck home, the ship exploding into a ball of fire as the burning shell crashed down. The other managed to throw out it's Chaff and pulled away. The missile exploding as it knocked the gun ship out. Al'keck's ship flew over head, a few moments latter the sound of the engines roaring burst through as Al'keck set his ship to fly at Mach 5. The Ai couldn't when a straight fight, but it was much faster then the gunships.

Al'keck took advantage of the confusion. As the missile struck he attacked from his hiding spot. Coming up behind the original squad he brought his knife up. The blade slipping between plates of armor into the back of the soldier as he quickly moved. As the team turned to see him he grabbed the rifle of one the nearest shoulder pushing it aside as he used his knife stabbing up into his neck, just behind his jaw. Twisiting him around as bullets started to hit the body he tossed him forward into the soldiers drawing his pistol. He fired two shots, two to the chest then one to the head dropping a third. Though the element of surprise was gone he ran off. Disappearing into the woods as the soldiers where shouting "get him!" Firing at him as bullets hit trees, splintering off as he disappeared into the jungle almost as quickly as he arrived. Hopefully the human would be smart enough to take advantage of there now split focus.

Also for all you people sniffing each other, Alnnar would smell a bit like fire, or smoke.

Looking at the furred creature Alnnar looked down at his hand. It took him a moment before he remembered the human custom of "shacking hands" and to reach out shacking Biys' hand. Alnnar's hand was warm and emitting heat. Though it was nothing dangerous, simply above normal. Then the vampire showed up. He looked over at her, knowing what she was simply from the lack of life force. He had run into such creatures before, but it has never turned out good. In his experience most of them were blood thirsty savages. For the moment he set his reservations aside watching the newest member join them as he seemed to fumble around his words. Alnnar simple nodded in answer as he bowed his head "If you excuse me, I will return in a moment." he turned and started to walk away from the growing crowd. Walking towards the tree line to where one was hiding.

Soon reaching the trees he stopped a few feet away from it. "It is safe. I will not allow any to bring you harm." he said to her. He could sense a gentleness in her. Though not much more, this particular ability strongest when meditating as he could only do it when with in close proximity when not meditating. Soon though the speakers on the roof started to chime as he lowered down the cloth covering his face. His features were human, though his skin darker as it looked rougher. A small smile on his face "we do not wish to be late, and from I can see. Our host has food to satiate any hunger."

Alnnar hovered above the house as time lost meaning to him. He could hear everything, yet he could also hear nothing. There was rustling, some one moving through the forest. It sounded like a deer, but with not enough legs. There was another, much larger approaching the house. At the moment though, in his meditative state he was aware of them, yet also unaware of them. His mind calm and distant his body present, but his spirit was traversing in the world unseen. His fires burning hot as he could feel, a cold strength, savage and un-refined. And there was a sorrow, a longing that was familiar to Alnnar. This cold also held the burden of being the last. There was smoothing else there as well, a presence hidden, good at hiding. But before he could get a feel he could hear something. Distant, far away, a voice echoing across the world unseen. He couldn't make it out though, the word unfamiliar, but there was a familiarity. It was like face he hadn't seen in a long time. Something he knew, but forgotten though the sands of time. Then it was there, large and abrupt, powerful and old....as old as Alnnar himself, maybe more so as it came after him and attacked.

In the seen world, as the Yeti called out to him there was no response. Several minutes went by as there was no response, no movement. But then his eyes shot open. His form bursting into flame and smoke before vanishing leaving only a cloud of smoke that moved, but instead of rising in went down to the ground as Alnnar walked out of the smoke before it dissipated. Red eyes looked to the larger creature

"I am Alnnar Alhiam, and for the moment I reside on these lands. Besides the elderly human, You two are the first after I" he said. His deep low voice, despite it's hushed tone, was able to travel to those he intended to hear.

"There is no reason to hide"

Though for a moment he looked at the yeti "I am sorry" he said to him, though he knew the Yeti would have no idea of what he spoke about. It was more of a small thing that weighed on his fire over the eons.

I think he meant Angel isn't in the right time line

Dropping out of FTL Al'keck opened his eyes looking over at a screen, the information about the planet he was approaching as he smiled. It seemed to be mostly dense rain forest, high heat, high humidity. It was almost like home. Al'keck saw it as a sign. The Great Hunt lead him here, to this planet much like his home. Not being one to deny The Great Hunt he took the controls of his ship, piloting down to the planet as the computer started to preform calculations, plant atmosphere density, size gravity effect. "Prepare for entry" displayed on his screen as the ship stared shaking. Hitting the planets atmosphere he held her steady on her course. Once entry was complete the shaking stopped as he made for the nearest space port. Radioing control he set up for his ship to be re-fueled, some basic re-fitment, a couple of routine maintenance items, and lodging for a few days. After getting a landing spot he brought her in and touched down. The hatch opening up as he felt that moist warm air. He decided not to wear his SEE-Suit feeling rather conformable. So as he walked under his ship, opening a panel and punching in a code to a key pad it opened up. Soon a small supply rack lowering down. His rifle was across the top, his suit folded and in a container as well as his pistols in on there belt holsters.

He placed on both belts around his waist, checking each weapon, making sure there mags were full, throwing a harness on with various knives he decided to leave things such as explosives and his rife not feeling the need to be so heavily armed at this moment. Pushing a button the rack rose back up into his ship as the doors shut and he closed the panel to the key pad. Turning and walking away he could see the port authority approaching.

Greeting him he inquired to his reason for visiting the planet, he looked a little nervous looking at the Telth. It didn't bother Al'keck however, many of the weaker races seemed nervous when around his kind.

"I am on a set toe ra" he replied a kind of pilgrimage of the Great Hunt as the man looked it up on his tablet

"I...I see and how exactly did that bring you here" he asked as Al'keck looked at him a little annoyed , but for the most part his expression was a cold one

"I needed supplies" he said as the man started tapping on his tablet again

"wonderful please enjoy your stay then. We have you set for re-fueling, some maintenance, and we have a room available for you." he said as Al'keck nodded walking off. People giving him sideways glances.

After a few hours, he had gotten some food, and asked around to see if anyone knew anything about what was happening to the planets being annihilated. Getting very little information how ever as it seemed like no one knew anything. He wondered why The Great Hunt would lead him here, there must of been a reason. Though he was soon answered. His the PDA on his wrist lit up chiming. Looking at it his ship was giving a warning "Warning: Un-known object approaching. Shields raised." then he could hear, a loud sound as he looked up to see the falling ship, burning as it was crashing down. He could see some one jumping out of the as a gunship flew in behind it. Soldiers repelling down as Al'keck smiled. Bringing his hand up he started to mess with that wrist computer, seeing the refueling was nearly complete. Maintenance wasn't scheduled for till the morning. He stood up from his seat as it appeared the hunt was beginning.

He took of fallowing them, watching as they ran into the forest. He was glad he wasn't wearing his boots as he ran, soon hitting the tree line as he leapt. Jumping nearly 15 feet he grabbed a tree and quickly climbed up it. His planet a nothing but rainforest, and not know how to climb was a death sentence. Soon Reaching the branches he started to move through the trees. Moving from one branch to another as it didn't take him long to catch up, though at the moment he didn't know who to side with. So he choose to keep fallowing and observe to see how this all played out.
