We Are Our Avatars IX: Act V: The Sabotage of the Scandolous Saurian Scoundrels (Open)

[Saltyk]

"Well, I suppose he's my brother, but I only met him the one time. He came to Earth and tried to make me kill everyone on Earth by kidnapping my son. And honestly, he was far stronger than I was at the time." Goku explained to EMily.
"To be honest, I wouldn't really consider him my brother."

 

[Kirke]

You stare at the remains of the bomb, wondering what to think when a siren whines in the ship. You twist back around and check the consoles to find a trio hostile aircraft locking on to you. They seem to have underestimated the capabilities of your ship as the first missile flies by, losing it's lock due to your jamming equipment. You tell the passengers to hang on as you throw the ship in a barrel roll to avoid another missile before blasting your afterburners and leaving your enemies to stare at your exhaust smoke. A few bullets hit you as you speed away, bouncing harmlessly off your shields. After a few minutes, the slower jets have completely lost track of you. The rest of the journey goes without trouble, and in a few hours you set down in a parking lot in London.

 

[Slenn]

"I wouldn't blame you for that assumption. He seems like a villain. You seem more like the hero."

Just then, she got caught off by the missiles coming in and the barrel roll.

"Glad we made it okay. We might want to invest in a cloaking device or a radar jammer for this ship." She said as she unbuckled herself from her seat.

 

[username sucks]

"I ken blow up those planes fer ya!" Tavish yelled as the alarm first started sounding. He pulled out his grenade launcher and started working at his belt when Shara began the evasive mauevers. "Well I could a' blown 'em up..." He said, putting his grenade launcher back away.

 

[Drakmorg]

Victoria had spent the rest of the entire flight silent and wondering to herself just how close her transport was to bursting into flames and exploding at any given moment. She always assumed it was quite high. The sudden jerking movements when the ship went into evasive maneuvers certainly didn't help either. Once the craft had landed, she hustled to be the first one out, and then immediately threw herself down onto the parking lot.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus held on tight as the ship rolled,staying quiet and still so she didn't distract Shara. When it was over, she wondered who would attack them, these thought still circling in her head as the ship touched down in London.

 

[Zepherus14]

As the hatch opened, Sophia would have been one of the first to get off the ship. "W-we made it!" She said weakly. "[small]Yeah.[/small]" She breathed feeling like she could finally start to settle down again.

 

[Saltyk]

"Well, he did want to sell Earth and then go kill everyone on another planet so that it could be sold." Goku replied. "I'm not really a hero. I just enjoy a good fight. Beyond that, I'm not any different than anyone else and I'm happy living with my wife and son."

When the ship landed, Goku got up and followed Vicky out of the ship. He stretched as he exited the ship.

 

[Slenn]

She got out of the ship, not surprised that it was the middle of the night in London.

"Hmmm.... now where to begin searching for this man."

 

[username sucks]

Tavish got up and stumbled out of the ship.

"We could just blow stuff up until we find him." Tavish suggested to EMily.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus stepped put of the ship shortly after Sophia, activating her armour as she did so.

 

[Slenn]

"That sounds like a reckless, hazardous, quick way to get yourself into more danger than you intended. Also you'd probably be arrested. We also want our target alive if we want the reward. NOT blown up." She said to Demoman.

 

[Saltyk]

Hearing Tavish suggest blowing things up, Goku spoke up. "That would likely hurt someone! I think it's best we avoid hurting innocent people who aren't involved in this." He said, actually quite stern in his tone.

He looked around. "If he has a strong Ki, or has near him with a strong Ki, I could probably locate this guy."

 

[Drakmorg]

Vicky continued laying on the ground, her arms spread out wide like she was trying to give it a hug.

"Oh luck stars, thank you! So much less likely to blow up now..."

She muttered to herself. Then she turned over on her left side and started slowly dragging her right pointer across the asphalt in a serpentine motion. After about a minute of this she realized it probably wasn't giving a good impression for everyone else to see and quickly stood back up.

"Nah, that'll never work. He'll hear us coming from miles away."

She commented to Tavish.

"Plus it's a dick move and I'll stab you in the kidneys for it."

 

[Zepherus14]

"Well who are we looking for anyways? I never actually saw the poster... things." Sophia asked the group as a whole. Noticing that her tail was still rather fluffed up, she started to try and brush it smooth again, the process not being very effective.

 

[username sucks]

"Hey, I said blow something up, not someone!" Tavish replied to Goku and EMily.

"I'm lookin' fer this guy." Tavish said as he handed Sophia the poster for Darren.

[Drakmorg]

"Well this is who I'm looking for."

Vicky answered Sophia, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a small piece of paper, which she unfolded into the poster for the bounty she had picked [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/540.851751-We-Are-Our-Avatars-IX-Intermission-I-Open?page=57#21125209] and showed it to Sophia.

"Your tail does that a lot, doesn't it?"

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia had a hard time seeing the poster initially, the lighting not cooperating very well with her. She evenutally got into a position she could see. "Oh... alright." Sophia nodded, then looking to the one Victoria produced as well.

"And it does not..!" Sophia replied as she continued brushing it. "Only sometimes... it's just been a rather stressful day today..."

 

[Chungus]

After eating the two baboons, the bug dug a tunnel cocooned itself therein, being full after eating well over a hundred kilos. After a little over seven minutes had passed, the bug ate the cocoon, emerging being 3cm taller, and 4cm longer, as well as all six of its legs being longer and having thicker shanks.

After stretching its legs, the bug headed back to where it had spun its web. A fair distance away from it, it picked up several new scents caried to it on the winds, telling it it had caught things. With a new meal waiting for it, the bug picked up the pace. Ariving at its web, the bug climbed up once of the trees, seeing it had caught winged creature as it had hoped for. A yellow-winged bat, spotted eagle-owl, as well as a collection of moths and mosquitos.

Climbing onto its web, the bug first went for the bat, plucking it fron the web, the bug made an incission with its mandibles, then peeled off the bat's skin, safe for the leathery membrane of its wings. Dropping the hide, the bug gobbled the bat up, and moved on to the owl. Unlike its previous meals, the bug didn't skin the owl, instead taking the time to pluck out the feathers, eating it when finished. It tried to pluck the insects from the web, but found they were too small to do so without damaging the web, and thus considdered it not worth the effort.

After its snack, the bug climbed back to the ground and went on to graze. Once it had eaten eight times its bodyweight, the bug dug another tunnel and cocooned itself once more. Seven minutes and fourtythree seconds passed, until it ate its way out again, emerging being another 3 and 4cm taller and longer respectively. The biggest change, however, was that the sockets holding its middle legs were a little higher up, with said legs now being large feathered wings, the feathers being brown near the calamus, and green near the end.

Crawling out of its tunnel, the bug stood still for a moment, then began to run. Once it had picked up speed, it flapped its new wings and took flight, finally being able to remain airborne.

 

[Saltyk]

"I'd rather not take chances." Goku replied to Tavish.

He looked over to Sophia for a moment, before looking back around to see what he could sense regarding higher Ki levels than normal in London.
