We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

Road

The refugees did as they were instructed, not sure what Ultron was but happy to have some more protection offered to them.

[hr]

The male sorcerer dragged his companion out of the hole, and looked over at the drone. "She's still alive, thankfully." he replied, carrying her after the refugees. "Who, and uh... what, are you?"

Calibeth City
The Terminator slowed down as it entered the city, but the whining of its servos and the hissing of its pistons echoed loudly in the empty city. It dragged the mook into a house that was still relatively intact and dropped him in a corner. It stood over the poor man, waiting to see if he was going to wake up.

 

[Chungus]

"We're with Ultron, here to help"

, Ultron responded through the drone, agaib purposely speaking in plural. The two drones followed after the guard, while #4 looked the woman over, wondering how it is she lived with the injuries she had sustained.

"She looks like she's bleeding badly. I could carry her. I could get her to a... hospital faster than you could."

, Ultron offered, drifting off a moment as it thought if hospitals even existed in the world.
[hr]
Ultron itself stayed behind as the refugees moved, until the last pair in line had passed it, after which it began following them. The two drones would continue flying by either side of the line of refugees, occasionally correcting a refugee if they moved out of formation.

Without anything happening it had no control over, it would deliver the refugees to Vala without incident.

"I'll look for something." Robin told Cybil. He turned to Anik. "Seems we're agreed then. But how will we supply? I don't want to impose on these people."

 

[Silence]

"Are we completely out of supplies? I thought we still had some. It's only a 7 hour walk to Calibeth City.
So, do you have a spell against fatigue? I really could use something like this as well." Anik said. Then, she said to Cybil: "Can you teach me something? Non-lethal fighting. I'm not good at it."

Thinking about Sally's answer, Anik finally said to her: "My world had quite a lot of magic, and there still were no people appearing out of nowhere to suddenly try to become king. I mean, we had some heroes overthrowing things whilst on their travels, but they did not care what happened to the people. They were disgusted by them, and went on their way again, as fast as they could."

[color=32127a]"We still have some supplies. But like you said, it's only 7 hours, and the sun isn't around any more so the desert won't be as hot."[/color] Mochán stated.

Calibeth City

The man slowly woke up, though recent events had made him sore and not very focused.

Ultron would notice that the sorcerer, despite having a sword through her guts, didn't seem to be bleeding that heavily. "No offense, but I don't know you well enough to agree to that." the man said, as he began walking north.

[hr]

Once the refugees arrived in Vala, they explained what had happened to the guards. They were allowed into the city, with the soldiers and a handful of the civilians going into the northern ward of the city.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"...true." Robin said to Anik and Mochan. "I'm ready to head out whenever you are." He flicked through his tome, looking for a spell to help keep people awake.

"And what did we just do not a day ago? Is it too surprising that that stuff happened again?" She said, "I appeared three days ago, went in, and overthrew a aristocracy for its populus. What's to say this guy isn't here to do the same, and screwed up like I did and killed whatever was holding the sun up?" she said.
"This is pretty much pure speculation here, but I'm willing to bet my arm that this has something to do with it. So I say we ought to make speed, see if there's any help we can render, then run like hell to where the sun probably fell."
Sally paused, and looked at the Neighbor, "Yeah, which direction did the sun land, and what's a city that direction?"

Previously, in Vala

Yeager shook his head "It's junk metal as far as I'm concerned. I did vhat I could with it, but the metal you are constructed with is better than vhat I've added. Until I get anything better, it's all I can do. The blastia I've integrated into your veapon von't do much at first, in time, who knows! That's the fun of it. At least I can tell that it's vorking... even I don't know vhat could happen with it! Otherwise, you're all set, good luck vith your investigations, and remember. Have fun!"

Currently, in Vala

Yeager headed outside to ask the nearest guard what was happening, noting the influx of people and the commotion.

[color=9f2089]"Huh? Oh! Yeah, sure! I can teach ya some stuff no problem whenever we get some time."[/color] Cybil cheerily replied to Anik.

"Because it hurts people if you eat them all up, and you can't even grow back stuff!" Hillary stated quickly in response to Timea's first question, seeming to be going on an avenue Timea wasn't initially thinking. When asked the second question Hillary in fact paused, she to now noticing their arguments weren't quite lining up initially, but it quickly straightened itself out. "Sharks aren't the same as people." Hillary replied, although far more unsure about this topic as she'd never actually seen a live shark before.

 

[Silence]

"But you did not just go to their bottom level, saying to them: 'I will be your ruler. Show me to your king, so I can kill him.' and then do it. You had a more or less realistic motivation for it."

she smiled to Cybil: "Thank you. So, since we are now apparently ready to head out, you could tell me some basics already. [sub]I only know how to go directly for the heart.[/sub]"

 

[Wackymon]

Sally paused.
And slowly waved at Cybil.
"In the Wastes, they don't really teach how not to kill. I could really use a lesson in that." Sally said, "I'm a bit too practiced in going for the head. Leaning some other method of dealing with my problems is probably the best."

Sally looked at Anik, "And yet we went in, said 'Take us to your leader,' and shot one of them in the head. They didn't expect us, but to us, we had an extremely reasonable reason why. To them, we're like if a prophecy said that no man could save us, then they were shot in the head by a little girl."
She paused, "While he was definantly more violent, you had a point. I didn't know what I was doing. And maybe he didn't either. So, my two cents- Land of mythology, kings are important, the sun fell, I'm betting some royal is connected to the sun. Bullet to the head, sun falls down."

"Calibeth City is to the east, and that's about the area the sun landed." the villager replied.

[hr]

Vala

"Calibeth City was attacked. These are the refugees." the guard explained. "Prince Califorth doesn't seem to be with them, though..."

 

[Silence]

"We don't even know if the king is dead. I met the prince, and while he was more powerful than others, he also had quite a lot of ungodly faults. Why should the sun be connected to that?
You know what? You are doing it again. Trying to push yourself into the role of leader, while basing your actions on pure speculation."
Anik became increasingly annoyed. I think I know how I will test my strength. she thought.

 

[Furioso]

Thanking the guard, Yeager headed to the area where the refugees mostly gathered, looking for any who didn't seem to have family with them and who appeared to be in good physical shape. To each he found, he would pass and whisper to them "If you desire the power to combat the things that did this, come to my place in 5 days time." while also whispering to them where his place actually was.

 

[Wackymon]

Sally paused.
"Sorry. Just... too used to it. Have a bad habit of doing that." she said, "As it is, I'm just trying to figure out why the sun fell from the sky- That's the best answer I can really come up with, at the moment. I'm prone to jumping to conclusions, but as it is, maybe the sun is held up by some sorcerery or something?..."
Sally sighed, "I'm sorry. Let's just... Go to the city." she said.

 

[Chungus]

Ruin City​

At Hillary's first reply, Timea looked to her, fairly confused at what she meant, feeling she was missing a crucial detail that made up Hillary's reasoning. She put questions about this to the back of her head, and was about to counter Hillary's second statement, when she smelled the smell of burned flesh clinging to the Terminator. It was too far away for her to hear it, and the positioning made it so that she couldn't see it, but she knew something was out there.

"...This isn't the time and place to talk about this", Timea said to Hillary, sounding a little uneasy. "We'll collect a few cadavers, but we won't eat them until we've talked about this back at the den. Agreed?" she asked, looking away from Hillary, and up to the general area the Terminator hid.
[hr]

Road​

Ultron had the drone nod in response. It then had drone #4 move in front of the guard and walk towards Vala, while drone #4 moved behind the guard, and followed.

"We'll be escorting you to the nearest city, then. Your attacker could come back"

, it stated through drone #4. It had no little amount of questions, but kept those to itself.
[hr]

Vala​

Ultron and drones 2 and 3 waited outside the city gates as the guards dealt with the refugees. Once they all were let in to the city, Ultron looked to the guard, saying,

"I'm having two more people escorted, they shouldn't be long. One is wounded, though."

 

[Silence]

"No objections?" Anik asked the group, then did her echothing and started to head in the opposite direction of the swamp. After a few seconds she turned, and said:
"Ehh ... does anyone see the road?"

Then she turned to the villagers. "I just had an idea. Does someone of you want to go with us, to show us the person who apparently wanted to kill the king?" She did not wait very long for an answer, and started to head out again, with or without a villager in tow.

 

[Zepherus14]

Hillary took a moment to look up the way Timea had, her smell being no where near as good as Timea's to pick up the Terminator, Timea's uneasy alone however was enough to put Hillary on alert as well. "Why-?" Hillary asked Timea, looking from her and the Terminators location. "No just put him down, someone might be looking for him. You said not to take stuff from others, so you should take him."
