Re: The Electric City

[Murii]

As Wynter spoke his farewell, Murii continued to force a smile upon her lips. "The pleasure has been completely mine, Wynter. I'm sure we'll meet again." she said, obviously not pleased to leave the ship. With those words said, she turned around to see Jun jumping overboard, quickly melting in with the crowd. Murii waved her hand at the others gently, before heading after Jun. The last thing she wanted was to lose sight of Jun in this sort of place. As she hurried into the crowd she instantly felt uncomfortable; hands slid up her thighs, caressing her body in a rough manner. She growled quietly in annoyance before continuing pushing through the tight crowd which caused quite the resistance. Usually crowds weren't a bother for the young woman, but this one was an exception. Most participants were acting rudely, probably due to the alcohol they were consuming.

The air stung her nose with an itchy smell of alcohol, and each individual smelled even worse. Though it must've been unavoidable, as far as the eye could see, the place was dominated by bars. A drink was always within reach, something most would've appreciated, but Murii had never been a fan of drinking. Every now and then she'd drink, but it was everything but a habit. Finally, Murii caught up to Jun who seemed oddly excited. Though Murii couldn't help herself but to smile, she hadn't seen Jun relaxed in a while, this was just what she needed!

Suddenly, a man appeared. On his head he wore a wooden sombrero, and on his face a huge grin. He held the same enthusiasm as most people surrounding them, the energy shone brightly across his face. Murii couldn't deny the fact; she appreciated his happiness. Currently, she was not in the mood for encountering someone with a foul temper, so this place was rather fitting. She just didn't fit in. Murii stood behind Jun, close enough to feel her skin. This was due to the crowded area, making it impossible to create a gap between two people. From her point of view, she watched the man bow his head, offering Jun a drink. At first glance Jun appeared rather conflicted about choosing one, but soon afterwards she grabbed hold of the yellow one which said Dozy Duck. Only one drink remained in the sombrero; a drink in the most vibrant shade of blue which seemed to be named Blue Motherfucker. Honestly Murii didn't find it very tempting, but as Jun encouraged her, she bent forward, carefully grabbing the glass.

She lifted the glass into the air. "For surviving a trip with Wynter?" she asked, smiling. The least she could do for Jun was to enjoy a drink or two. The place no longer seemed all too bad, but something had been bothering Murii from the moment they had arrived; the vibrating ground confused her, and she couldn't quite grasp what the people down the street were up to. They were very loud. She shook her head, trying to get rid of her worries. She wanted to forget all troubles and relax, and she wasn't planning on letting anyone get in her way.

Rudy was very nervous, it was something kind of easy to notice. He talked in a high pitch lying about it. Phiola noticed it and so did roderick but they decided that they shouldn't say anything about it. Phiola looked around. It was all a little tense and heavy but she just focused on her roderick and Rudy. No need to get nervous.

She looked at rudy and wondered about him. He never told about his dreams. He never told about his childhood and phiola wondered. " hey rudy. What are your dreams in life" she asked. Smiling a bit " i want to make fun music. Sea allblue and a lot of fun places with fun friends. " she wanted to open up to rudy because they didn't knew much about each other.

It wasm't bad but phiola wanted to spent more time with rudy. And roderick looked up to him too. Rudy wasnt strong in personality but was in power, he was vurnable yet dependable he was a fun and nice but closed person and Phiola wondered what he was like. She was quite closed too so it was good she opend up. Roderick was very calm as he was being stared up on.

Hopping overboard Wynter & Lyceum quickly vanished into the crowd of partying Pirguruvians. (People from Pirguru.) Making their way towards the streets on the other side they left their shitty ship behind knowing full well it wouldn't survive. Pushing past the crowds of drunken men & their seductive women Wynter found light work of it as his brain continued to harness the image of a beautiful ginger girl with freckles like his own.

As for Lyceum however it was a different story, reaching to squeeze an arse or two he stumbled out the other end with a black eye. Arriving out of the crowd by a bar where a man with stunningly white teeth stood serving drinks. The two looked at one another and Lyceum chuckled to himself as Wynter looked at his slightly puzzled.

"Some boyfriends just can't take a joke."

"No offence, but I'd probably do the same if you touched mine."

"You mean Murii?"

"She's not my------yes" Smirking Lyceum hinted he was only teasing him which Wynter knew but he didn't like being the butt of a joke.

At that moment the front of the bar came crashing down, debris showered down over the citizens, Lyceum & Wynter. Roaring into life where the crowd had been seconds before was now a large horrifyingly stunning creature whose body seemed patched up with various objects from marble to metal & even skin.

More surprising however was the man in blue hanging from the monster's back with his leg caught up in the tubing. Looking beside him as he shook some of the debris from his back, Lyceum painfully got to his feet to see Wynter wasn't beside him.

Roaring in a painful unusual sound which could only be described as a cacophony of machinery & biology mixed, Lyceum watched as guards sprung into action taking aim from the rooftops and even from balconys.

Opening fire the bullets simply bounced from his metal plating on display and beneath the flesh.

Hanging from the tubes on his back Wynter covered his face hoping the bullets wouldn't hit him as he hung upside down glancing at Lyceum hoping he'd save his ass since he was currently too weak.





Behind the two females who'd recently joined the party hell was unleashed, but towards the other side of the town these two were enjoying a nice blue & yellow drink. After the drinks were removed from the hat the bartender stood up and winked at both Jun & Murii before catching sight of the large creature that had reached their delightful party.

Reaching for both of their wrists he allowed protection for people (the kind with breasts) to set in and opened his mouth.

"Come with me beauteous ladies, I simply could not bare seeing anything happening to you both at the hands of such a creature." acting overly dramatic with his hand gestures and voice. (Perfect for a physical theater performer.) he had noticed how Jun had been eager to drink and seen a certain smile which reached her when she did drink and continued in his overly dramatic manor. "Also, they're going to be drinks, free of charge of course right from the bar."

The man attempted to drag both Murii & Jun towards his bar where he would kick the latch holding open the shutter to the front of his bar, draw down the metal sheet behind it, pour some drinks, then set the right mood back in his home/bar.

These ladies were perfection in two totally different ways and the ways they were perfect would be all he wanted after he'd bled the lizard (had a pee.) and "lost" his pants.






Feeling his heart still pounding Rudy's stomach soon joined the party and rumbled. Looking towards Phiola as she started asking him what his dreams were, Rudy paused. He listened to Phiola's and was happy to see she was so confident here, but he felt a little less than comfortable.

"Urm, I want to become a revolutionary like my parents." he whispered. He didn't want to attract any more information than he already had.

"Hey look Phiola can we get something to eat cause I'm really hungry." Picking up a menu that had been left on their table Rudy begun to browse through the pages for anything he could afford which was quite literally nothing. The prices were a bit too much, but he could dine and dash couldn't he? He was a criminal already so what would they do raise his bounty for a measly dine & dash.

Feeling the ground shake he looked out towards the streets to see utter chaos erupting and people running screaming in all directions. A large chunk of concrete shot into the air due to the monster's legs slamming into the ground and smashed through the window shooting over Rudy's head towards the kitchen.

Quickly thrown into hysterics the citizens all dove for cover including the kitchen staff as glass shattered and sprayed throughout the restaurant. Missing Rudy's face by an inch the glass smacked into the seating.

Diving for cover himself Rudy hoped Phiola & Roderick would do too. Lying beneath the table he had begun to shiver.

Its me, its me, its me. They've come for me. Oh god no! I'm not ready! They can't do this to me!" his brain begun to scream. Rudy was petrified and not ready for this.




Hearing the words from Snow's lips Clara took a few moments for them to register and before she knew it she couldn't help but laugh. Poor Snow stuck in denial.

"Snow dear, you don't need to worry, lots of men are gay nowadays. You don't need to deny it to me." She got up to hug him and help him with his little issue he was having when suddenly she was overwhelmed by his constant plea for heterosexuality as he was at her feet talking about vaginas. Pulling away slightly worried at the sudden change in his words Clara felt less sorry and now more creeped out.

"Snow really you have to stop this." she said when the sudden rumble was noticed by them both and Snow's words came out. Her face turned pale as she thought back to the last time she'd felt this and she spun around grabbing hold of the wall thinking it was a tsunami.

Only things got worse when the wall came tumbling down and shards splintered towards them both. Slashing her arm blood streaked from it within a matter of seconds and a large hulking figure charged head long through the bottom of the building into the town.

Unconscious and bleeding Clara lay with Snow's face at her breasts. Having been in between the monster's feet her husband the round man turned and charged over to see his beloved wife and Snow. Looking at Snow he reached down to grab him and throw him off of her. Even if he was gay, he wanted to make sure she was ok. Wrapping his hands around her and lifting her up he pulled her to his chest holding her close & tight in his arms.

"Claral..." he said repeatedly attempting to console himself and gain her attention. Turning to Snow he had sadness in his eyes.

"Snow, she's not responding."

The man who'd been standing at the harbor with a non alcoholic drink had pulled his beanie down revealing it to be a mask with eye & mouth holes. Dropping the bottle he cast his hands forward and smiled.

Construction Dome

All of the light grey liquid that had filled with gaps between the stones leading all the way through to the streets reaching off of the town center and away into their own little districts and so forth suddenly rose. Reaching high into the sky the liquid begun to harden forming a large concrete dome. Now no exits remained. Not even an exit via the harbor as the concrete slammed down filling the harbor with all of its ships.

The click tower's door came crashing down and as panic ensued in the general public each of them begun to hit against the walls of the dome hoping for some form of escape.

The inside walls of this dome lit up thanks to the lighting from Koga as his monster rampaged in the town center with gun fire bouncing from him.

Standing atop his balcony and looking out the mayor paused pale faced and dropped his Sticky Nipple.

What was going on!?

[bunbunny]

As Murii raised her glass and said something about surviving a trip with Wynter Jun scoffed at the name and in one horrifying moment realized that if she kept traveling with Murii or convinced her to stay on this island with her then she would probably be hearing about Wynter a lot. The realization made her head hurt as she would much rather just never hear of or even think about Wynter again.

Hearing the chaos going on behind her Jun turned around only to catch sight of what was a horrifying beast smashing everything up in it's way. Dropping the glass she had just drank out of in shock she stared at it wide eyed and with her mouth hanging open before feeling her wrist being grabbed and snapped out of her shocked state.

Swinging her head around she stared at the overly dramatic bartender who was blabbering on about something that she couldn't quite catch because of the screams going on around her. One thing she managed to pick up was the phrase "Also, they're going to be drinks, free of charge of course right from the bar."

Well she didn't see what could go so wrong with that.

Well actually she could see many things that could go wrong with that but the drinks sounded promising so she didn't really mind all too much.

Now when she first had been grabbed by him Jun had squirmed a bit and tried not to be dragged along but realized something and stopped struggling and looked over at Murii and nodded at her before leaning in and mumbling to her hoping that the bartender wouldn't hear what she murmured. "It's probably safer to go inside rather than stay out on the street don't ya think? Also if he tries something i got your back alright?"

Then the dome came crashing down, taking up Jun's attention. Staring at the concrete she first marveled at the construction of such a thing but then it hit her what had actually happened. Feeling her claustrophobia gain on her as the knowledge that she was actually trapped with seemingly no escapes made shivers run up her spine and her breathing harsher as beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. Her whole body started to tremble and her heart sped up. She felt like she was being choked and her body felt cold and weak. She felt as if she was losing control of herself and her actions and desperately felt the need to cling onto something just so that she didn't collapse.

[Murii]

As Jun didn't return her toast, Murii smirked, shaking her head. She understood why Jun disliked Josh, she simply wish she didn't. As the chaos behind her grew stronger, it no longer sounded as mere people being noisy. Desperate screams echoed through the thick air, causing Murii to glance over her shoulder.

She'd never encountered anything of the sort; a giant beast. .The sight of the enormous beast closing in on them sent a shiver through out her body and she instantly felt the urge to run and hide, leaving all of it behind. Yet her legs wouldn't move, she was in complete shock. Unlike Jun, she tightened her grip around the glass as she tried to mumble something, but it was useless - her throat felt too dry.

Out of no where she felt a touch surrounding her wrist. The sudden movement caused her to instantly raise her guard, and so she snapped her hand out of the unknown grip. A moment passed and she realized that the dramatic bartender had tried to grip her wrist. She threw a wondering look at him, awaiting an explanation.

As he said his purpose was to help them she glanced at Jun who seemed to approve of his actions. Murii nodded halfheartedly. The bartender gave her a bad vibe, but so did the monstrous beast which was approaching them - she chose to go with the bartender and grabbed a hold of his arm.

As Jun tried to whisper in her ear without attracting attention, Murii leaned over. She carefully nodded her head. "Okay.." she murmured. As the dome suddenly came crashing down, Murii noticed Jun's reaction in the corner of her eye. They we're surrounded, and Jun couldn't seem to bear it. "Jun! Jun are you okay?" Murii instanly broke free from the bartenders grip, trying to support Jun who appeared to be unstable. "Jun clam down, what's wrong?" Murii asked, feeling a deep worry.

Letting out a small squal has Mr.Whiteteeth hurled the Harpy off of Clara, Snow fell awkwardlt and tumbled backwards landing on his ass with his talons in the air. Picking himself up the Harpy rubbed the back of his head "Mother...Fucker" he muttered under his breath hoping that Mr. White Teeth didn't hear he looked pretty tough. Walking over towards the barman Snow rested his wing on his shoulder before seeing the wounds Clara had sustained, rather shocked and surprised Snow's face turned to a sombre expression. "What the bloody hell was that? Some kind of robot or cyborg ?" questioned Snow as he tried to piece the vague glimpses he had caught of the beast.

Walking away from Clara Snow peered down the trail and path of destruction Kogas monster had left in it's wake, he pondered why this had occurred now . At the sound of the barman's voice the Harpy pivoted on the spot before returning to the pair. "Get her on your shoulders, she needs a doctor now." the inventors tone was surprisingly serious, so serious it was almost foreign to his personality.

Telling phiola about his history and dreams was nice of rudy, Roderick loved to learn more about Rudy aswell, he was a strange man to say atleast, he had quite a lot of strength and power, but lacked resolve and maybe a sprinkle of will, or could it be fear, Phiola wasn't really seeing this, she was also a scaredy cat, but roderick noticed this, he knew that in some moments he would have to stand up for them, and he didn't mind to do so, not at all.

Rudy was checking out the menu on what to eat, phiola wasn't really hungry anymore after what happened and didn't want anything, she did want to pay for rudy though, but she wasn't gonna tell, she was too shy and would just pay when they left.

When it looked like things had finally calmed down the opposite happened.


The ground shaked.

it shaked a lot.

the air was filled with screams

Phiola glomped roderick tight and looked at rudy and at the restaurant, as something through the wall almost hit rudy, followed by broken glass, luckily rudy was fine.

in this moment roderick had already tackled fiona into the corner and had changed into his human form, and shielding her from any things that would fall down or could fall down.

'' Rudy do you hear me, we got to get out of here, if this is an earthqaucke we should find stable ground, if this is something else we should find out what this is, safety is the most important'' roderick yelled, he got serious, he had to protect phiola, he had to.

Phiola was in a shock and didn't talk she didn't see this coming and panicked a bit too much, this was one scary event. she hoped this would be over with soon. clenching to roderick she closed her eyes.

Feeling the cold liquids wrapped around his body holding on to him, Wynter looked towards Lyceum upside down. He felt uncomfortable with the coolness running around his body. Charging towards the creature with his pair of scalpels out one in each hand, Lyceum aimed to slash Wynter free.

Covering his face not quite knowing what this old psycho doctor had planned he suddenly felt something cold and putrid smelling gushing down over his torso. Lyceum had slashed through two of the pipes holding Wynter in place in half. The coolant begun to gush out like a waterfall. Filling the cracks between the paving stones, Wynter soon joined the coolant slamming into the ground shoulder first.

With the sudden slashing and realization that there was nothing to keep the body from heating up, Koga's Monster threw his arms into the air screaming at the top of his lungs. The metal outer layer had begun to turn a deep orange colour. Clearly overheating the monster was in agony. From his patched up mouth he roared in a distorted painful voice.


"ARGH! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!"

Standing upand brushing himself off Wynter took a step towards Lyceum hoping to get away from the beast he'd become entangled with. Unfortunately things turned worse when the door to the clock tower opened thanks to the aid of two men wearing similar masks to the man who'd created the dome. With tattoos on display down their arms uncovered by sleeves the beast saw his exit and chance to repair.

After taking one step forward and finding himself being dragged backwards, Wynter looked down towards his foot to see his right foot was still caught up in a pipe and Koga's Monster was busy making his exit, charging towards the door he slammed his large iron feet into the paved streets.

Entering through the door to the clock tower Lyceum watched as the man he was asked to save was whisked away. Leaving the door open the men in masks waited for the Piguru national guards charged through over door and into the clock tower. Realizing he needed do the same, Lyceum followed into the clock tower.

Dimly lit things only got worse when the two men with masks raised the door and bolted it shut. Barely able to see his hand in front of his face, Lyceum took a few steps forward to hear the national guards of Pirguru quickly reloading their rifles and removing their swords from sheaths.

Reaching for the torches on the walls Lyceum found himself without one but followed the large light before him where the torches had congregated. The sound of something shattering and vibrations which shook the tower gave away the location of Koga's Monster as did the screaming of Wynter which occasionally could be heard.


"Alright, men, the creature has a civilian, so pretty much a hostage, we need to take him alive if possible. So take care with your aim and lets try assault number 4. The Pincer movement."

Each and every guard nodded in agreement on the movement they'd be making in an attempt to capture Koga's Beast.





Heading quickly towards the bar that was his home, the man with the wooden sombrero smiled to himself when both women hesitantly agreed to coming with him. He liked a challenge. Closing in on the bar he reached over unlocking the latch when he turned to see that both the women seemed to be struggling with something.

Rolling his eyes he quickly made his way behind the bar and held open the door.

"Come quick Senoritas. The sooner we're in the sooner I can cater to your every needs. That creature means trouble. He terrorizes our town on a regular basis. It is best to hide until morning. Only then can we be certain the national guard will have vanquished him for another night."

He badly hoped the women would join him, the sooner they did, the sooner he would slam down the large protection screen over the bar and then board it up with his wooden locks and he could seduce comfort the two beauties.
Reaching beneath the bar as he waited for the two ladies the man using one hand pulled out two glasses and spun them the right way up. Reaching for his special concoction which was a deep purple colour with edible glitter in it he reached into his pocket and slipped two pills out. One pill into each. Upon falling into the drink both pills quickly disintegrated.

Perfect he thought to himself with a grin on his face.






Looking over towards Phiola & Roderick Rudy could see that the plushie was no in a big human form. He remembered seeing him like this when he'd been in Phiola's manor. As Roderick spoke about what they needed to do Rudy nodded like an old man with Alzheimers. The panic that radiated through not just his body, but what seemed to be everyone in the restaurant's bodies was ten times worse for Rudy. At least it felt that way to him.

"Find out what it is?!" he questioned in a panicked tone. He didn't want to move an inch, in fact the only thing he did want to do was shit his pants, but he couldn't do that. He'd feel especially embarrassed if Phiola didn't and he did. When the gunfire could be heard he gulped more and felt his bod shaking and tears wanting to do laps down his cheek. This wasn't happening, it couldn't be. He'd just found out he was a criminal with a bounty that bounty hunters were actually hunting after, then there was some big monster roaring and screaming terrorizing the town and lastly gunfire.

Was all this really that necessary?!

Looking towards Phiola & Roderick, Rudy gulped.

"I'd really rather stay here and cry."

What Rudy had failed to notice over his own exaggerated cowardice was the strange sudden silence. The beast was no longer in sight, not even any thunder either. The thunder & lightning had stopped. The citizens had stopped panicking and the whole general area seemed lighter.

Removing his hands to look around he couldn't see Koga's Monster anymore, nor any threat of any kind what so ever. No guards, no gun fire, no monster. Slowly getting up and resting his head on the table he peered out through where the window had once been and then around at the people who'd copied him when diving for cover.

Something was up.




Hearing Snow's determination in finding a doctor Mr White Teeth looked at Snow with his beautiful wife in his hands. Stepping closer to Snow he spoke with a shaky voice.

"I wish I could tell you about that creature, but I know anything about it. Clara and I only moved here a little while ago. We've never seen anything like that before in our lives. But there is one thing I do know. I want you to make the bastard suffer."

Fighting back tears Mr White Teeth gestured towards the bar with his head and continued to speak.

"Take the cleaver from the bar if you need to. Make him suffer in the flames that he set alight in my heart. No one does this to my Clara. No one does this to me and gets away with it. I'd go myself, but I need to attend to her. You know my motto Snow. "

You don't touch another's man's woman unless you can deal with the consequences

This beast had not only touched his woman, but brutalized her. This was unacceptable, from one man to another there was a code they both had to follow and the same rule lay within this code. Women do not come to harm and if they do, the one responsible would suffer for his crimes.

In the distance the door was closing. The beast had roared screaming in agony and headed into the clock tower followed by the national guard of Pirguru and a stranger in a white coat.

"I'm going to make sure I find a doctor for Clara here."

Heading out the front where his bar had once been Mr White Teeth was going to find a doctor and do anything that was needed to wake her up and make sure she was just fine.

Pirguru
"There ain't no party like a Pirguru party"

Standing atop the Clock tower peering out of the windows over the town which now no longer seemed in panic the two guards who'd been controlling the draw bridge looked don towards their captain who stood at the foot of the tower. He'd created this concrete dome and checked his watch. Right now a small team of his should be entering the Mayor's personal suite.

Four men stood outside the suite. One of the four popping bullets into his mouth like sweets and comping them down quickly. Each with a mask and each with a tattoo on arms that signified who was who.

Wolfe wearing a blue mask with eye & a mouth hole, Wolfe wore a shirt without sleeves hanging open arms covered in tattoos with a wolf's head tattooed on his right shoulder. This was the man popping bullets into his mouth with a grin. Unarmed for a reason, he didn't need to be.

Lynx standing beside the door with a revolver in each hand Lynx's torso was clothed in a yellow tank top and reaching all down his left arm were tattoos of every kind, from crossed out names of previous 'soul mates' to clockwork cogs. With a grey mask with eye holes he took a deep breath.

Piranha standing opposite the door with a serrated blade in hand and an orange mask covering his head Piranha wore a pink t-shirt with a black denim vest over the top with badges pinned all over the front of it and on the back a tribal piranha picture in white.

Spider Lastly standing beside Pirhana in a pair of blue shorts and a white mask was Spider. With only brass knuckles and a chest so hairy it looked like he could suffocate a chihuahua he was just like a spider, hair wise. Big and incredibly muscular he was the most terrifying of the group. On his neck was his tattoo of a tarantula.

"Ready?" Lynx asked looking at the group. Each of them agreed before suddenly without warning Spider was out of his cage and kicking the door down. Slamming into the ground the door attracted the attention of each guard in the room. Of the highest class for the Mayor's protection they turned armed with firearms.

Each one aiming on the door they opened fire the second they caught sight of Spider.

Outside the room Lynx stood beside the door shaking his head.

"f**king hell Spider."

Diving out of the way towards the roof, Spider managed to shatter the light and gripped the loose cable the light had been hanging from and hoisted his entire body up. Now out of the way the guards took aim towards Spider who now found himself hanging upside down from the cable and wouldn't hold is weight much longer.

Taking advantage of this Lynx was next in and turned into the room with his revolvers. Unloading 12 bullets into the guards two into each. One bullet in the neck the second in the chest he watched as the bodies hit the ground. Letting go of the cable Spider crashed down beside Lynx. Stepping into the room Piranha looked at the bodies on the floor and pushed past the other two.

"F**k sake Piranha, you don't need to be such a dick." chuckling to himself Spider followed him and shortly Lynx followed too. Stopping half way across the room he looked towards the mayor who had watched his elite team slaughtered by Lynx. His face was no covered in shock and horror as the men approached.

"Mayor, I believe you've been expecting us."

"Please don't kill me!" he cried dropping to his knees begging for his life.

Approaching the mayor the tree of them surrounded him. Finally realizing his cue Wolfe entered the room too. Stepping out on to the balcony he looked down towards his boss and gave him the thumbs up.

[bunbunny]

Jun felt like she was choking, as if someone was literally holding their hands around her throat and squeezing it. Her body still trembling violently from the panic surging through her body about being enclosed feeling like she had no ways to get out. She would probably have collapsed onto the ground if it wasn't for Murii keeping her steady. Clinging onto her friend in return Jun had a hard time forming an answer.

She had to stand there for a little while just trying to calm down and eventually she managed to do so. Well a teeny tiny bit at least. Her breathing was still shaky and her body still trembling as she let go of Murii and tried to reassure her she was fine but when she tried to talk it only came out as small squeaks and weird mumbles.

Then she remembered the bartender who was currently standing in his bar. Now if she was lucky he had made drinks. And those drinks probably contained the only thing that could soothe her right now.

Alcohol.

Still being a bit unsteady on her feet Jun made her way over to the bar and through the door. There she saw her prey. Two purple drinks just standing there waiting for her to down them. So she wasted no time in getting herself over to them, pushing the bartender away slightly in the process before grabbing the drinks, each in one hand and chugging down the first one with glee and then let the second drink follow suit before slamming both the glasses down again.

Now hopefully she would calm down from that and hopefully Murii and her could just relax for the rest of the night and try to make the most of the situation they were currently in. The bartender seemed pretty harmless anyways so she was sure he wouldn't try anything.

Right?

Part of Snow wanted to say that Clara wasn't his woman thus not his responsibility but the sentement in his voice had changed that, sighing the Harpy wondered how he managed to get himself dragged into these situations. At the offer of the cleaver Snow raised his wings before showing them to Mr White Teeth "Uh Thanks, but not much use with these" remarked the inventor in a slightly comic tone as he tried to lighten up the situation. In all hoinesty Snow was shitting himself just a bit, the monster that ran through was massive dwarfing himself whom by a humans standards was considered a fair height.

"I'll do what I can. No Promises, I never make promises" said the Harpy as he turned his back and began to walk out of the bar and trhough the path of destruction and decimation that the Monster had caused in its rampage. The path was pretty simple, just follow the rubble and cracks, houses, businesses and livelihoods had all been destroyed in a matter of seconds and from the screams of terror eminating throughout the island it seemed as if the rampage had yet to cease. Swinging his large black feathered wings behind his shoulderblades and frontwards the Harpy began to eleveate through the air.

With every swing the Harpy grew higher and higher until he was well above the tallest of buildings in Pirguru, Snow began to circle around the island the darkness didn't help the visibility as he tried to locate the rampaging beast from the sky.

[Murii]

As Jun stood still, trying to regain her calm, Murii remained positioned at her side. Offering her support was the best she could do as Jun was too occupied by fear to listen to the words Murii spoke. Even though her main worry was Jun's mental health, she couldn't help the surprise which drenched her mind. For the first time, she saw Jun in a weak and vulnerable state - she'd always appeared strong and invulnerable to Murii but this proved she was only human. Shaking her head from side to side, Murii hoped to cleanse her mind. This certainly was not the time for such thoughts, she had problems to address. Escaping the monstrous beast and keeping her mate sane, for example.

Murii could clearly feel Jun trembling at her fingertips, and the sound of her heavy breathing was inevitable. To as of why Jun reacted in such a manner was still a mystery to Murii, but she figured she'd be better of not asking. Eventually, Jun was able to calm down enough to let go of Murii, yet the fear hindered her from speaking. Murii simply shook her head, "No need to spe-..." she begun before she found herself being interrupted by the bartender who encouraged them to rush. Murii didn't quite listen to what he said, but she nodded in response anyways.

As Jun made her way to the door, Murii followed. Before Jun quickly snatched them, Murii was able to get a short glance of the pair of purple drinks which were placed upon the bar. Due to all the commotion Murii's drinking lust had cooled down, there for she didn't mind Jun's actions. Rater than disappointed, she was grateful. After Jun finished the drinks, which she did at an amazing speed, Murii smiled. "Feeling any better yet?" she asked, but her eyes weren't focused on Jun, they were searching for the bartender.

Murii had no reason to suspect him for having bad intentions, and so she didn't. Yet she had a bad feeling about him. Perhaps it was due to the fact that he was a stranger? Murii sighed as she realized what she was doing. Rather than being skeptical she should appear grateful, after all, he was just trying to help them.

Roderick was a little braver then Rudy and he knew this, all Rudy wanted was to hide till it was over, not really thinking about what could happen, like if they stayed here the ceiling could collapse on them, it was better to go closer or further to the place where turmoil was caused then stay at one spot as when they are under a roof it could make a quick end and that wasn't good for phiola.

Roderick looked at the panicked rudy and knew he needed to man up, but he also knew that it all was dependant on him how things would end today, and that was quite important because well rudy was too terified to be reliable, and phiola, she was a young young girl with not many physical powers.

Roderick stood tall and realised the shaking was over Roderick knew it was time to get out of here, he helped phiola up and looked at her not saying much, she was quite shocked but was getting a little calmer '' It is okay phiola we are fine now'' he said in a kind voice patting her head, with his giant paw. she smiled a bit and took a deep deep breathe and looked around, the place was a mess.

'' is everyone okay'' she asked in a soft voice, worrying when looking around.

Roderick nodded and looked at rudy '' I know you want to stay rudy, but we got to go to an open space, if thunder strikes here, or the roof collapses we are done for, we need to lay low and find a safe place I know its hard to leave out to the open but its the only option '' he said knowing he had to take the lead for them to be sucessfull in survival.

Grabbing their stuff and remaining in human form he signed for rudy to follow them '' lets find a safer place rudy, its safe for now but we got to be certain'' roderick said and phiola nodded holding rodericks hand thight and smiling a little at Rudy, '' I think Rudy knows what he is doing'' she said trying to comfort rudy a little.

Feeling his back sore from the stone path Wynter was relieved when it stopped and he was no longer being dragged along. But not only was he no longer being dragged along. He was no longer attached either. Looking towards his foot he noticed that there piping was gone. Picking himself up and dusting himself off Wynter looked further down the corridor to see if he could spot the creature.

Taking a few further steps he found nothing and gripped on to the wall. He peered down into the darkness that the creature had vanished into. Stepping back he could see that he'd crashed through the ground causing a large open hole.

Gulping he started to make his way back. Hearing the sound of rifles & numerous feet heading his way, Wynter threw himself behind a pillar and waited.

He watched as the ground made their way towards the gaping hole. Peering down it one of the men called out.

"He's heading to Koga's Lab situated beneath the tower. Lets get him." Changing direction and heading towards the lifts which were just around the corner. Wynter watched as they all crammed into one and stepped out from behind the pillar.



Following the guards Lyceum held back when they came to a hole and jumped behind one of the corners hiding there until their voices were gone and the lift doors shut.

Stepping out he spotted Wynter by the hole.

"How'd you get free?"

"No idea, pipe must've come off."

"Right, well its good to have you back safe & sound."

"Yea, its good to be back. Shall we make our way back out-"

"Didn't you hear? They have a lab downstairs." Lyceum interrupted.

"Yeah, and what about it?"

"If they have a lab down there and that creature has a cooling system keeping him from over heating."

Wynter wound up staring back at Lyceum blankly not quite sure where he was going with this. He had his reasons though. Why would a machine's cooling fluid work in a human body?

"If I take you don there, we can test the cooling liquid on your body, see if it'll take."

Nodding Wynter agreed it was worth a shot. Heading towards the second lift they pressed the button and started waiting. Soon they would be in a lab and soon to be an operating theater.





Joining him in the bar the man with the silly hat which he now took off and placed on the side watched as Jun drunk both drinks. Alarm bells went off in his head. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! NO! he smiled a little uneasy with the bar now locked up. Looking towards Murii then Jun he wasn't sure the effects the drink would have on him, but was sure it wouldn't be positive.

The drinks themself had been stronger. at least a good 20% so enough to severely disable one's motor skills. As for the drugs slipped into each drink. They would knock a person unconscious for just long enough for him to do his business. He knew from experience. But watching as Jun had drunk them both had worried him. She could die from that concoction, at least that's what he'd heard. Acting as if everything was still perfectly fine, he lit a few candles and gestured towards the sofa in the back of his lovely home.

"Come, come senorita's sit, sit, relax." Making his way to another room, the young pervert made his way into his room to change into something more comfortable.

Re-entering in an over sized shirt & underwear which left quite literally nothing to the imagination he leaned against the doorway and smiled at Murii winking as he did so.

At that moment it was more than clear what he wanted and had planned for this moment.

What he hadn't planed was what happened next.

Brick Barrage

Wood splintered out on to the floor and towards the sofa but hit the floor before it could reach. Falling to the ground behind it was a series of small hardened grey bricks. The barricade the pervert had set up simply wasn't enough for the crook in the mask. Two large grey globs of liquid slipped in through the hole in the barricade and made their way to the three of them in the house hold.

This was liquid cement, also known as Concrete Serpent

Wrapping around the man's spindly hairless legs in a matter of moments and carrying him out into the streets the rest of the concrete attempted to do the exact same thing to Murii & Jun. The man in the over sized shirt screaming as he was dragged from his home by this hideous monster of no definition other than slimy and horrid.






Listening to Roderick speak and Phiola ask if they were all ok. Rudy nodded. He agreed with Roderick it would be better to find somewhere safe. But finding somewhere safe might be a bit difficult. As Roderick started to lead the way Rudy noticed advancing towards the restaurant were the same liquid cement snakes.

Gulping Rudy shaped his fingers like pistols. Other folk in the building begun to scream. As these serpents tried to wrap around them and hold them tight they attempted to swing bar stools at the serpents which just allowed them to sink through them, throw cutlery and others just panicked allowing the snakes to carry them out into the town center.

Catching sight of a few making their way towards himself, Phiola & Roderick, Rudy threw himself into the midst of battle without actually realizing.

Noko Noko: Fungi Arrest

The mushroom exploded making vision difficult and Rudy quickly pointed to the smashed window as he screamed.

"Phiola, Roderick, to the window. We can get out through there!"

The spores from his mushroom quickly begun to form a strong casing over the serpents sticking to them better due to being made of cement. The snakes were quickly encased whilst various others begun to carry folk into the town center.

Sprinting towards the window Rudy dived through it into the alleyway far out of sight of the town center and peered up noticing how there was now a huge dome over them.

So this is why there was no thunder & lightning anymore. he thought to himself realizing they weren't after him. Rudy just hoped they could find somewhere to hide and plan their next move.




Understanding Snow's statement about the cleaver Mr White Teeth nodded and watched as he mentioned he'd do what he could before flying into the sky. Following him out of the home he'd once had with Clara he snatched up the cleaver in his free hand and hoped over the bar.

Seeing how grey snakes brought people to the town all coiled up he spotted a few coming his way too and started cleaving at them rapidly holding Clara in the other hand. Managing to slice the head of one snake off with ease he went for the midsection of the next before he watched the body reform and felt one wrapping around his legs, another around his torso and arms and the last one wrapping around Calra who'd been dropped.

The two holding him down combined into a larger snake and all three of the snakes holding Mr White Teeth & Clara headed to the center of town.

Whilst Snow reached his great height in the town these snakes could be seen with great ease from below. In the clock tower however towards the top two of the bandits looked towards Snow with the firearms in hand.

Taking aim they both hoped their new weaponry wouldn't let them down. These rifles were prime examples of what the marines should be using. Coated in a golden material with an extended barrel and a hell of a scope on them the men took aim on the black winged monster.

Opening fire they both tried to shot him out of the sky. One aiming for his wings, the other for his head & heart. When he started to circle they shouted out to get his attention. That way, maybe they'd stand a chance in taking this bastard out.

"Oh bastard. Stay still!" one of the men shouted whilst the other opened fire sending out two bullets right for his shoulder hoping desperately to hit him.

A roar echoed out from the foot of the tower in the voice of the Koga's Monster. Both men paused looking down then behind them to make sure the creature wasn't coming for them then returned their gaze to Snow Mistuki the black winged monster that currently hung in the air like a piece of paper caught in an updraft.

Pirguru
"There ain't no party like a Pirguru party"

---

From the balcony of the mayor's room hung a large steel net with the mayor inside hanging upside down. On the balcony stood Piranha, Lynx, Spider & Wolfe. The four of them stood waiting orders from their leader.

Sitting on a throne made of stone with a non alcoholic drink in hand the leader raised himself up and stepped from the throne with a smile on his face as his serpents brought his hostages to him.

"How lovely to see you all here!" he shouted out at the top of his voice looking out over the hostages whom all sat darted around him in cement snakes.

"Now I bet your all wondering just what's going on here now are't you? Well I'm a bandit and these men you see, they're my bandit crew. Now we've recently heard the Pirguru has come into a vast fortune. Well being the bandit I am, I want that fortune. So as you can tell, I've come here to collect said fortune. So Mayor. Are you going to let me have this fortune?" looking up to the mayor the bandit leader waited for an answer.

"I can't give you it." the mayor shouted back in a voice of sheer terror.

"You hear that good people of Pirguru? He won't give it to me." the vile bandit shouted out. The citizens of Pirguru had begun to look up at the mayor with scowls and angry eyes. They wanted to be free and would prefer to be free & poor as opposed to rich & dead. But it seemed the mayor wanted to be rick and alive. Two things he wouldn't be getting.

"Piranha, if you wouldn't mind." the bandit asked gesturing towards the mayor. Nodding Piranha stepped close to the mayor and jabbed the knife in his hand into his side drawing blood and tearing through his trousers.

Howling in pain the mayor allowed tears to streak down his face.

"For every time you tell me no Mayor. Your going to lose another loyal citizens of Pirguru. And if you were wondering just ho that would happen, its going to be happening just like this."

Clicking his fingers one of the cement snakes rapped around a loyal Piriguvian spun around reaching up swallowing the citizen hole. The first one being a chef with rosy red cheeks, tears streaming down his face and five children not including a sixth on the way.

"So mayor, do you want to give me that fortune yet?"

[Guest]

Stopping in the midst of the sky, Snow remained at the same altitude by constantly flapping his wings as he manipulated the air currents around him something that he had become proficient in due to the addition of two feathered appendages attached to his collar bones. Hearing a loud bang that was the unmistakable sound of gunfire , Snow looked around below him unable to identify wherabouts the fire had came from.

Another chorus of gunfire returned this time, Snow grimaced as he felt a burning stinging sensation in his shoulder which caused him to lose his balance and rapidly decline through the air. "Son of a bitch" said Snow between clenched teeth as he held his wing over the bullethole whilst trying to maintain at least some kind of control with his other free wing.

Dropping through the air, Snow gained more and more speed the further he fell as he looked below he saw the incoming clock tower and gulped as he braced for impact. The structure was made of solid bricks and quite literally built like a brick shithouse, as he collided with the upper levels of the clocktower he closed his eyes as he prepared for the incoming torrents of pain that were to soon be upon him.

[Murii]

As the man offered both of the young ladies seats, he brightened a few candles. The itching feeling which had been bothering Murii from their meeting expanded. As the bad vibe grew stronger she sighed quietly. She took a seat out of curtesy but as the man left the room Murii threw a glance upon Jun, Murii didn't hesitate on taking advantage of his absence. "Umh Jun, perhaps it's just my imagination, but I'm getting a bad vibe from mister bartender.." Murii whispered insecurly in fear of the man overhearing them. Not long after Murii stated her thoughts he entered the room once more, this time showing much more bare skin. He threw a wink at Murii which only caused her to turn uncomfortably in her seat.

By that time it was basically impossible not to realise his objectives, even for someone like Murii. Her face faded into a red colour, partly out of embarrassment but mostly out of anger. How dared he? This is what you get for trusting a stranger, she thought. She gulped before she began to speak directly at the bartender; "I'm incredibly grateful for your hospitality, but I honestly think it's time for us to lea-.." she spoke nervously before the chaos returned. All of the sudden, wood and bricks flew through out the room, only barely missing Murii. She squealed in surprise, which quickly turned into pure fear as she payed attention to the floor. A liquid was making it's way forward, and it appeared to be gripping around mister bartender's legs. Due to this Murii instantly moved her legs up on the sofa. In such a state of fear, she couldn't identify the liquid.

Her eyes scanned the room desperately, looking for Jun. As they found her Murii exclaimed; "Jun get over here!" Murii realised their best opportunity was to simply disappear, there for she quickly took action by waving her right hand while mouthing the word "vanish". The power of illusions took effect immediately and it affected both Jun and Murii herself. They'd appear invisible to their surroundings, but that would not be enough according to Murii. Her hand made another swift gesture causing two clones to appear, one of Jun and one of Murii. Murii prayed that these clones would work as distractions, either to lure the creature away from them or give them enough time to escape the scene.

(OOC: sorry for this rather lame post, I'm horrible at writing on my phone though you might have to bear with it for a while as my computer has crashed. ^^')

[bunbunny]

Woah.

Either Jun was getting really shitty at handling booze or those drinks had had something iffy in them.

She couldn't feel her arms anymore. Her vision was getting blurry and when she tried to move she couldn't. It was as if she was glued in place with some very strong glue. Her head felt like it was up in the skies and black spots were now starting to appear in her line of vision.

Then it hit her. The fucker in the silly hat and ridiculous mustache had drugged her! The bastard! How dare he?!

She tried to open her mouth to yell at him, or whoever was in the room currently really. But just ended up with her jaw hanging open and drool starting to run down her chin. She couldn't get drugged! She had to protect Murii! God if that creepy bartender as much as laid a hand on her friend she'd break his legs so many times and twist them around they'd end up looking like slinkys.

She could hear Murii yelling but it sounded like it was so far away, and her voice sounded a lot darker, as if it was being played in slow motion.

In fact, everything seemed to move in slow motion right now. Jun could see a gray blob moving towards her in the corner of her eye but she didn't really react to it. No matter how much her body wanted her to. She was also too distracted by the loud bleeping noise that was ringing in her ears. Man that sure sounded weird.

Then everything just went black and her body relaxed and hit the ground.

[Fin~]

When things had gone from bad to worse, Phiola had hoped that would be the climax, but nothing was less true, as roderick lead the way, their were some strange creatures coming closer to them. they looked like big snakes from some kind of stone, she had read about statues in books, and wondered if they came to life, though the only thing she knew for sure that they should stay away from them.

Luckily Rudy had stopped the serpents in their track by using some kind of power, which phiola still hadn't realised what it was, Roderick was glad that the serpents were stopped as it meant not involving phiola in more danger. telling them to jump through the window, the two followed rudy outside.

when they looked up, they could see themselves enveloped into something which was like a big dome. , phiola gulped and was scared, she had no idea what was happening and knew she had to try to keep herself together.

quickly looking around when the three had exited the building they were in, roderick realised that with the dome, and the creatures around there were two options, either expose themselves to danger to try and solve the problem or to go for the savest option, find shelter and then decide on further plans, phiola was only a girl, and roderick knew that the best plans were to hide .

''Rudy, Phiola I think we should find a safe place, see if there is any way out, I think there is too much panic in the city to look out for others, we got to get ourselves in safety and then decide on next plans' Roderick said, trying to stay calm, and asses the situations, he was not that experienced but he could remain calm, atleast calm enough to think clear and make decisions.

Phiola still looked around panicking, I-I agree She said, mostly looking around shivering not having ever been in a situation like this before she was mostly worried about what was going to happen.

As roderick waited for Rudy's answer he began scouting around, to check for any places they could hide in, and to also see where danger would come from. The next steps were important, they could mean the difference between survival and death, and death was no option.

[Docile]

Waiting for the lift, , Wynter Lyceum could hear the sounds of gunfire echoing down the stairwell from up above. The only sound that was weirder was the one that followed of grunting and clattering. Moving from the lift to the stairs, Lyceum found two masked men at the foot of the stairs and their guns laying on the stairs. Looking down at the two of them he knelt down and checked their pulses.

"They're still alive, but I don't think they're guards."

"Well if they're not bandits, who are they?"

"I don't know, but judging by the weapons, not someone we want to get involved with. Lets tie 'em up and leave them for the guards to deal with."

Nodding Wynter headed up to grab their rifles and ripped the straps from them both. Handing the straps to Lyceum he quickly got to work tying up their hands behind their backs. Lying the unconscious bodies of the two bruised men against the stairs they returned to the lift door which now seemed to be open. Approaching it, Lyceum noticed how shaky the lift seemed to be. The roars and sound of gunfire that came from below shook Wynter to the core. Feeling a little uneasy about it he felt the ground begin to shake as did Lyceum. A few bits of rubble fell from above and covering their heads, both Lyceum & Wynter felt a few pieces impact upon their arms. Thankfully it was nothing too serious, except that these vibrations knocked the lift down.

Hearing the wood shatter in the darkness Wynter sighed. He just wanted to get down there already, but clearly this place was falling apart. Smirking Lyceum looked towards Wynter and continued.

"We can still climb down the wire. Its made of steel."

Leaping out and on to the steel wire, Lyceum started to climb down it, Wynter watched him do so and tried to copy. Leaping he missed the wire and found one hand gripping the wire. Shaking the wire Lyceum stopped climbing and as he struggled to keep his grip he looked towards Wynter.

"Steady!"

"Sorry"

Lowering themselves down the wire, they slowly made their ways down towards the laboratory that previously belonged to professor Koga, the genius who built the lighting that coloured the town.





Losing sight of the two ladies who'd been in the room previously the snakes caught sight of the copies and hissing they swirled around on the floor. Three snakes swirled around their feet. Raising up to the tips of their tails and looking eye level with the two women, the snakes leapt towards them attempting to absorb them into their bodies. Falling through the illusions the snakes smacked into one another becoming one mixture with three tails.

The confusions made things worse, now there was no longer anyone in the room and the snakes pulled themselves free. Forming 3 snakes once again they retreated to check the rest of the apartment. After a quick search the snakes joined together and found their way out through the gap they'd created. Returning to the owner, the concrete bandit they'd come from earlier the concrete man and bandit leader was certain he'd captured everyone who wasn't after the monster.

Trashed and in pieces the room was now empty with the exception of Murii & Jun, with debris littering the ground. Covered in broken bits of brick, wood and spilt drinks all over the floor. It seemed the perverted man who'd drugged Jun had his stash revealed too. His drugs were all over the ground too. A small red metallic box had been cracked open and scratched badly. Inside were two small bags of pills and two syringes. Alongside this was a large wad of beli and beneath that a note.

Written over it was information about the drugs, just to remind him what he needed to remember after the long days partaking in narcotics that would more than likely make him forget.

Pills - These pills are a special mix which is perfect for knocking people unconscious. The drugs will render whoever consumes then unconscious for three hours. ONLY take one pill. To wake someone up from these, use epinephrine (Artificial Adrenaline)

Syringe - These are syringes filled with artificial adrenaline just in case you need it big fella Only use a tenth of the syringe otherwise there will be serious consequences.





Agreeing with Roderick, Rudy nodded.

"That sounds like a great idea. But I don't know what we're going to do. We can't hide from those concrete snakes forever. They'll find us." Rudy was genuinely terrified. Heading towards the edge of the alleyway which was blocked off he peered out into the town center to catch sight of people held by the snakes in place and see the bandit leader speaking to the mayor about a fortune. Hearing the screams that came from the mayor and seeing the sudden snake swallow up a man whole Rudy leapt back behind the wall and towards Roderick & Phiola.

"We can't stay here, they're swallowing people whole! T-those snakes, they're eating people." Rudy cried quietly. The inner revolutionary in Rudy wanted desperately to save these people, but the coward in him wanted to sit in a corner and cry. " They're torturing the mayor out there asking about some fortune he's come into." Stepping backwards and on to a sewer plate Rudy looked down. He quickly hopped off of it due to the sound it made. He felt it would give off too much noise and give away their position.

"So guys, I know I'm the adult here, b-b-but what do we do?" Rudy looked towards the two of them then at the sewer plate. He may have just found them an escape. Smiling as he started at the plate, Rudy bent don and struggled to lift it up. Using his weight he managed to lift the plate out and looked down. It was dark, but there was just enough lighting throughout the tunnels to give him confidence.

"Lets head down here, we can make our way through the sewer tunnels and get out of here."

Climbing down himself Rudy felt much better about himself until his feet touched upon the sewage below. Ew! he thought to himself. He looked up towards the hole waiting for Roderick & Phiola.

Unfortunately for Rudy the bounty hunter who'd been captured in his spores earlier was now freed by the concrete snakes who'd been smashing the spore shell off of him. Wrapping around his weakened body the snake lead him into the town center where his wear body sat wrapped in the snake along with the other citizens.



Watching the man bird struggle to fly and suddenly begin to swoop downwards towards the gunmen, the two of them both unloaded all they could into him before turning to run. Tripping on a lose paving stone one of the gunmen hit the first step and begun to fall whilst the second gunman was hit by Snow's incoming torso and knocked down the stairs. Smacking into the first gunmen the both of them begun to fall down the stairs knocking their bodies against each step and dragging their rifles along before they slipped from their cold battered bodies, the two gun men hit the bottom step painfully where they were discovered by someone it seemed as voices about them both echoed up the stairs.

A roar echoed up the stairs followed by the sound of gunfire. Reaching all the way up from the laboratory of Koga's the monster screamed as it was assaulted. Shaking the walls of the very tower the clock tower Snow had entered in through the window of now no longer had windows, but open holes with shattered glass. The brick work begun to crumble and debris filled in the gaps and lowered the roof. The only exit to the tower now was the stairs and door which wasn't opening any time soon since the winch was currently broken. Jammed in the winch was too much debris that wouldn't be breaking soon.

The sound of gunfire, screams, roars & the vibration which shook the entire tower begun to fade slowly and in time they were gone, clearly the national guards of Pirguru & the beast were on their way running free from the tower to safety. But Snow had been given a task to seek vengeance on this beast for harming a woman who he possibly stood a chance with, if she hadn't thought he was gay.

Pirguru
"There ain't no party like a Pirguru party"

With tears in his eyes and streaking down his cheeks the mayor hung from that net like a fish. With 3 stabs wounds in his back the blood was pouring out of him and he desperately wanted this nightmare to be over. But knew that it wouldn't be.

"So, gonna tell me where this fortune is yet?"

"Its the statue!"

"What statue?!"

"The one on top of the clock tower!"

"Nah, nah, nah. Don't play me for a fool. I know that's not the fortune, your were given a large fortune. Money. Actual money. Bills, coins the lot."

Clicking his fingers the leader watched as another snake swallowed a woman whole. People turned away screaming not wanting to see the horrible sight as she screamed.

"Now tell me, where is this fortune?!"

Jabbing the mayor with his knife one more time Piranha chuckled as he watched the mayor scream in pain.

"THAT IS THE FORTUNE. ITS WORTH MILLIONS. I PROMISE YOU."

"And who gives somebody a statue worth millions eh? I'd prefer the money thank you very much. "

"It was a gift!"

Joining the party of citizens the bounty hunter who'd been after Rudy looked around to see other citizens tied up. With his revolver in hand still he looked towards the bandit leader. He wanted to get out of here and he had the perfect card to play. If he mentioned that the man he'd come to collect wasn't here of which he wasn't then this would give him a good reason to be let free.

"Ey bandit guy! How'd you feel if I told you there's a criminal out here worth 9,000,000 beli who you ain't caught?"

Interrupting the conversation between the mayor & the bandit leader the bounty hunter managed to successfully capture his attention. Looking towards this bandit and approaching him with a look of genuine concern he crouched down in front of him.

"He's not here ey?"

"Yea, that's right, I tried capturing him earlier, but he got away."

"And what're you some sort of bounty hunter?"

"Yea, that's right and this guy's got 9,000,000 beli on his head!"

"And your telling me this because?"

"Well if you let me go I'll catch hi for ya. I figure he'll be quite the problem for you guys."

Nodding and smiling to himself the leader cast a glance up towards his men on the balcony with the mayor. Looking back towards the bounty hunter he stood up and prepared his fingers to be clicked again.

"Why do I need you to do that job for me when I can send someone I can trust to do the job for me?" turning and walking from the bounty hunter clicking his fingers, the bounty hunter tried to speak back and answer gaining his attention, but in moments he was swallowed up by the serpent.

"Wolf, Lynx, go find them. Search everywhere within this dome and don't stop until you find him. And hen you do. kill him. We don't need people getting our way." Nodding on the balcony the two of them headed from the balcony to the stairs. Reaching the bottom of the building they agreed to taking either side of the towns.

Turning his attention back towards the mayor the bandit leader was ready to continue this conversation about gaining his fortune that he'd come for and not a statue.

[Guest]

Feeling the full force of the brickwork as he penetrated the building with all of his Momentum behind him, Snow notcied through half opened eyes the pair of gunmen firing at him unsuccesfully before the Harpy had collided with them sending them crashing down the stairwell. Finally, the body of Snow came to a screeching halt as he laid there with his knees arched as he groaned loudly in pain as he felt the dull ache coarsen through his entire body, it was like having a bruise on every surface of your skeleton; in other words it hurt like a bitch.

Snow's self pity soon ended when he felt a speckle of dust drop into his mouth, moving his tongue about as the foul flavour entangled his taste buds he sat up as wiped his mouth before spitting out the remnants of the dust, looking up at the roof Snow could see the inevitable occuring the clocktower was going to go down sooner or later. A Vortex of wind soon entered through the Harpy Sized-Hole that Snow had left as he had made an impromtu landing to the Pirguru Clocktower. Slowly, but gradually Snow made it back to his feet as he hopped out and manouevered himself towards the hole .

Preparing to exit the clocktower, Snow outstretched his wings before being interupted by a blood curdling scream that sounded anything but human. With a look of indecisiviness Snow cocked his head backwards towards the stairwell before sighing heavily and plodding over towards the stairwell as he slowly made his way down the spiralling staircase. Half way down he heard more screams which prompted him to call out "Who's There?"

[Murii]

While the serpents made their way through out the apartment Murii held her breath, fighting to contain her calm. The scen was hardly enjoyable, the snakes violently finished her illusions, showing no signs of mercy what so ever. The sight sent shivers down her spine. These terrifying creatures, seemed to be able to merge into one , creating yet another horrifying monster. As they separated once more they continued the search but not before long, they were done looking. They left the building, exiting the same way they had arrived.

On shaking legs, which barely supported her, she made her way over to Jun. "Jun we've got to leave now." She cried out, her voice cracking in the middle. As no response was thrown at her she gently shook her friend. "Jun?" Murii's voice remained alone echoing through the room. A deep worry was placed on the already existing one and she begun to use more force in her attempt to wake Jun. "Jun?! Oh god, no no no no.." She began before gently placing her hand on her neck, relief flooded her mind as she was greeted with a puls. Looking around desperately, she searched for ideas or help. As she realised she would have to figure this out alone, she took a deep breath.

She bent down, using most of her powers to lift Jun onto her back. Being rather petite and weak didn't contribute much to their current problem but they had to get out of there, quickly. As she slowly moved forward her foot carelessly hit a red metallic object which caused it to open completely. "Ouch.." she mumbled and glanced down. Carefully, she put down Jun to throw a quick look at the insides of the box. As she read the descriptions on the bags her face turned pale. "He drugged her!"

Feeling a certain panic, she started shaking again - she had no idea of what to do. Not until she continued reading. The syringes might've able to help, Murii also felt like she had no better option. Picking up one, she tried to get a good grip around the syringe . Before inserting the liquid, she read the information once more to make sure she'd avoid any mistakes. She couldn't risk Juns life, no way.

Slowly insisting one tenth of the syringe while shaking, Murii hoped for the best. Honestly her heart was beating so hard she could hear it, she was afraid that she might lose someone.

[Fin~]

This was no place fit for a princess, was what roderick thought when Rudy sugested for phiola to go with him into the sewers, as that was the best way to escape, maybe, very maybe he was right, but the sewer had a few disadvantages. and those were not small ones.

1. They stank a lot, roderick was a plushie and sometimes stench would just suck up and he was hard to wash. as he was a devilfruit user and a plushie.

2. it was damp. and dark not a perfect place for phiola who had never been outside much thus not used to places like that and it might have been not good for her health.

3 who takes the girl your guarding and treating like a princess to a sewer while its not a place for one.

roderick knew he had to suck it up and sighed '' Not the nicest solution, but it might be the best. ill catch you phiola'' he said as he got down and landed close to rudy.

Phiola didn't like the idea of a sewer much but nodded and knew it might be the best solution as well. slowly heading in after Roderick she was caught by him and made sure she wouldn't get too dirty, if that was possible in a sewer that is.

Once the 3 were down Roderick wondered where to go, there were a few options, either wait here. and spy on things till they are over. hope for a way out, which would be quite hard with a dark sewer. I think we should try and get the shortest way out, I have no idea what it is, but it might not be long before they check the sewers too, if those monsters are smart enough to do that''

Phiola slowly adjusted to everything in the sewers but was very silent, a lot had happened today, and she mostly clinged to roderick. wondering about their next steps not really ready for making any decisions herself. roderick hold her up thight and would carry her and follow rudy around, he didn't mind leading but the sewer was rudys idea. so he should lead the way.

A few moments after having the artificial adrenaline Jun's eyes fluttered open and she turned her gaze to Murii. Seemingly like in a daze for a moment before the adrenaline really hit and her eyes widened. Quickly raising herself into a sitting position before jumping up from said sitting position. She hadn't had this much energy since she was like ten years old!

Who cared if she couldn't feel her fingers!

With a huge grin spread over her face she looked over at Murii and then around at the absolute chaos that was around her, grin fading slightly in the progress. Then it disappeared completely as she noticed Murii's current state of emotions and she immediately dived down next to her and if not a little loud asked:

"Are you alright Murii? He didn't do anything to you did he?! If he did he's seen the last of his fucking funny hats and fruity drinks i tell ya!" her voice becoming slightly hoarse at the end, mostly because she was yelling and the alcohol she had taken in probably had something to do with it as well.

Helping Murii up to her feet Jun then grabbed her by the shoulders and gave them a squeeze before smiling yet again and saying (more like yelling, yet again) "Now let's get outta here!" and then releasing her shoulders and taking some brisk steps towards a window. She didn't know if it was the adrenaline that was pumping inside of her or the drugs making her mind hazy, maybe both but she was sure as hell getting out of here through that window.

Even if there was holes in the walls she could easily get through.

As casually as she could managed without feeling her fingers Jun picked up a brick from the floor and threw it through the window. Even though there was only a small bit of glass left in it. It seemed like her sight hadn't fully recovered from her experience either. Either way she climbed out of the window a bit clumsily into the streets and then as she stood there waiting for Murii to get out felt an urge to just rush down the street. So to keep the urge contained she jogged and jumped a bit in place while looking at Murii through the window and shouting.

"Come on! Hurry up a bit will ya!?"

Hearing someone call out who was there, Wynter stopped and looked towards the doors. He'd not heard the voice before but his curiosity got the better of him.

"Its Wynter, I'm hanging in the lift shaft at the moment. Whose that? Your not a guard are you?" stupidly identifying himself Wynter didn't realize that if this was a marine he was in a pretty bad situation where he could either drop or hang around and a fifty foot drop wasn't going to help anything.

He started to realize what he'd just said and wanted to change it, but it was too late. Opening his mouth to speak he closed it again and started to climb down trying to get closer to ground if he needed to run, just in case this guy really was a guard. Feeling the wire suddenly shake and creak, Wynter looked down to see Lyceum no longer on it.

"Hey watch it!" he shouted down only to get no response from Lyceum who seemed to have fallen under some medical trance.

Whilst Lyceum continued to make his way down he let go of the wire and hit the ground. Grunting a little he felt the pain in his back flare up and did his best to ignore it. He knew for a fact the creature & the guards had been this way when he took his first steps into the lab. His eyes fell on a few guard's bodies who'd been cast all over the lab. Catching sight of their weaponry scattered all over the place he shook his head.

Lyceum stepped over the bodies making his way to the desk. Walking in Lyceum to see a large open room with cables reaching all over the place from the walls to the roof and reaching down the other wall with light bulbs of every kind all over the place lit up in different colours and an all around general colour of white with a green tint, the laboratory was given an eerie appearance. It was time to find out just where this professor Koga kept his coolant. As he grabbed the paper on the desk he noticed something drip down on to the paper and stain it. Looking up he saw the tubing going all the way around the lab. Smiling Lyceum leaned in closer to it and sniffed at it. It looked the same. But he needed to find out if it was safe upon contact with human organs.

The same. Smiling he headed into the back room of the lab and started looking through all of the bits and bobs in the back room. On the wall above it all and all over much of the creations found in the backroom had the same logo on it. This is when Lyceum knocked over a cylinder of gas. Landing on his own leg, Lyceum picked it up and placed it back on the stand it was stood on originally.

Looking over the tag tied to the top of it he recognized the name from the note's he'd seen on the desk earlier. Wheeling the canisters out to the desk, he smirked as he caught sight of the name of the gases. reading over the notes quickly Lyceum understood these gases would be helpful for him to use in future surgeries too.

After Hours - Causes pain to be delayed, this includes certain things such as death, however will only be delayed for 1 Page.

Sand Man - Pungent odor which puts person to sleep for 2 Pages.

Dis/able - This gas when smelt the first time disables a person's body, removing ability to move at all leaving them paralyzed until smelt a second time. This is happens because upon inhaling the gas it causes muscles throughout the entire body to become constantly tensed.

Part Time Corpse - Puts a user into a comatose state for 2 pages in which they cannot feel anything. They can however be woken up but will remain numb till the 2 pages are up. Picking up the gas mask that was attached to the trolley these gases were in, Lyceum smirked. These gases would be perfect to put Wynter under. Opening the draws Lyceum started to search for something he could use to test the coolant. Finding nothing but useless papers of inventions he tossed them on the desk and headed over to the desk on the other side of a bed type platform in the middle of the room.

The papers with inventions that Lyceum tossed onto the desk were as follows.

Spider Bomb:

Dirty Eye Bomb:

Circular Saw Blade Attachment:

Gas Bracelet:

Dagger Shot:

Searching on the desk Lyceum found nothing, opening the draw he just found more useless pieces and cast them onto the desk. Sighing as he found nothing he felt something fall from a higher shelf above his reach and hit his head. Looking over it he read the title of it. Lantern Strands. Opening this small note book he walked back to the first desk reading over the rules in the front of the book.

Depending on the colour the paper turned depended on what the solution was. Reading down the rules Lyceum got to gold where it stated that the colour gold indicated the solution was fit for human consumption. Smiling he flicked to the golden page and torn a strip out. Dipping it into the droplet on the desk he waited a few seconds.

GOLD - If the strand turns a golden colour, this means the solution is safe for human consumption and will leave no traces upon the human interior if introduced. However this doesn't mean that it will not taste horrible and cause the person to gag.

Noticing a logo printed on the front of the book of Lantern Strands Lyceum looked towards the logo, looking around the room he started to see a few more things hanging no the walls with the same logo printed on them. Seemed these were inventions he was proud of. From inventions such as lights to mechanical arms.

Koga Industries Logo:

Seemed this Professor Koga had an actual organisation who funded his work.






Seeing that Roderick & Phiola didn't really want to walk through the sewers Rudy spoke up.

"Guys, I'm sorry about the sewers, but I think this is the best escape for us, I mean even criminals don't want to get into the sewers so we might be safe here for a while." Moving on ahead attempting to lead the way, Rudy wished the lighting would get better, but it wasn't looking good. Barely able to see he could roughly see Roderick following behind with Phiola. Sifting through the waste in the sewer pipe, Rudy could see a fork in the road up ahead.

Pausing he took his time to think, his bounty poster that he'd seen earlier came to mind as did the situation which happened earlier in the bathroom. He thought about his parents the revolutionaries and why he'd refused going to see them and run away. Turning back to look at Roderick & Phiola he knew he had to escape with them and protect them both.

"Come on, I'm sure this way will lead us to safety. By the way guys, I'm really sorry I dragged you into this. I didn't mean to, but it seems danger follows me." Trudging through the rubbish of Pirguru from bottles to what came from the toilets Rudy did his best to fight against the stench.

Hearing footsteps above he stopped and signaled to both Phiola & Roderick to stop. The sounds above them sounded like those of two women. Making his way slowly over towards Phiola & Roderick, Rudy whispered quietly.

"It sounds like there's two women up above, I'm going to try and ambush them so we can get out of the sewers and back on to the streets and out of here."




Climbing up the ladder, Rudy placed his hands on the man hole cover and took a deep breath. Flipping it up & over, he jumped out of the hole with both hands shaped like guns. Taking aim he started to speak.

"Stay where you-"

Realizing he was facing the wrong way, Rudy gulped and awkwardly turned around to find himself pointing his hands at two women in the street. Pausing for a moment he tried to act cool about it but instead felt sweat slither down his face. What the hell was wrong with him?


Hearing the sound of a window shattering and voices Wolf & Piranha rushed out of the bar they were currently in and started sprinting towards the source of such sounds. Spinning the blade he held in his hand around playfully Piranha licked his lips. It was time he tasted blood, as for Wolf he popped another bullet into his mouth and gobbled it up hungrily.

"Let me handle these ones."

"Nah, I ain't lettin' you have your pacifistic way, I'm hungry for blood so Piranha's gonna get some."

"Y'know your a really sick twisted human being."

"That's why y'all love me."

"No its why we're all scared shitless of you."

"Spider ain't."

"Yea well Spider's got a screw loose."

"WILL YOU TWO STOP TALKING AND GET TO IT ALREADY?! WE'RE HERE TO STEAL A STATUE NOT HAVE A GRANNY CHAT!" the bandit leader shouted infuriated at the men for their pointless conversation. Realizing he was right the two made their way towards the street behind the bar. Their conversation could wait till later.

Rubbing his temples the leader muttered under his breath.

"If you want a job done right you've gotta do its yourself they said. I guess they were right."

"Yea but where're you gonna find people brave enough to take up this sorta life?" a member of the public asked. Seems someone was brave when they shouldn't have been.

Swallow

Swallowing a large heavy set blacksmith hole, the crowd gasped watching him go and just for speaking.

"Anyone else got anything to say?!" the leader asked as silence fell upon them and he took a deep breath.

---

Pirguru
"There ain't no party like a Pirguru party"

---

"So this statue! Is the fortune I've come to collect?!" Clearly angered by this, the bandit leader gestured towards Lynx to kick the mayor in his hanging net.

"Argh! Yes, yes it is! If you want a fortune your best of selling the thing."

Nodding the leader gestured to Spider.

"Spider, get down here now. We're taking this statue and we're getting our fortune."

"Finally a chance to get away from this dick head." Spider said gesturing to the dickhead next to him known as Lynx.

"Oh screw you Spider!" Lynx shouted after Spider who leapt over the balcony and using his quick hands clambered down the building's side. Reaching the ground he ran up towards the clock tower and started to climb it.

Looking at Spider making his way up the leader sighed.

"What are you doing?"

Stopping in place hanging on by a hand, Spider turned to look at his leader.

"Climbing"

"I'll put you up there, all I need from you is to use your strength to get that thing down here."

Rolling his eyes Spider hopped down and straight away beneath him rising him into the sky a concrete pillar rose up.

Pillar Cloud

Reaching out to make a circular foot path around the statue from the pillar, Spider walked up to the statue.

The Statue:

[Guest]

Snow stood their dumbfounded at the voice's response that was soon identified as Wynter, and had located himself to the lift shaft. Slapping a wing over his face as he tried to register the stupidness , Snow called out to him once more.

"No. I'm looking for some Monster or something a big metal thing"

Spotting the entrance to the lift shaft, Snow hopped down flapping his wings slightly as he descended towards the bottom before spotting a brown haired man dangling front of him as he clutched the lift caple as the small breeze from above sent him swaying from left to right, smirking as he watched the events unfold Snow began to appreciate the fact that he had the gift of wings and with it, flight.

Snow began to realise this was probably the individual who had identified himself as Wynter during their very brief conversation a few moments ago. Circling around him slightly to get a full complete look at the man, judging by his appearance he seemed to be well dressed for the most part minus the scruffy mop of brown hair that covered his scalp.

"I take it you're Wynter?" asked the Harpy as he flapped his wings slightly to maintain his balance as he hovered beside the dangling man.

"Would you like some help ?"

Jun felt like she had massive amounts of energy, as if she had just drank ten liters of very strong coffee and ate fifty pounds of candy that had been caked in chocolate frosting. She couldn't really think clearly and she couldn't feel her fingers and toes even slightly. There also was this pleasant ringing in her ears which would normally freak her out but she didn't really mind since everything felt like it was clouds and if not everything was slightly blurry as well.

Since she found that Murii was being slow Jun thought about starting to do laps around the house, just to have something to do. She really felt like she could run a marathon. Well not just one, like three marathons and maybe a half but certainly three ones.

However her attention was pulled from her marathon planning when she heard a man's voice say something and then just abruptly stop and then some shuffling. Turning over to look at him Jun squinted a bit as her vision was blurry at such a distance. But she saw green and it was everywhere. Making her gasp as she came to the conclusion of...

...HOLY SHIT IT WAS A SEWER CREATURE.

Letting out a high pitched squeal of joy Jun yelled "OH MY GOD MURII IT'S A SEWER CREATURE! I'VE FOUND A SEWER CREATURE! OH MY GOD HELLO SEWER CREATURE THING I'M JUN AND I'M HUMAN. CRAZY RIGHT? BUT LIKE I CAN PROVE I'M HUMAN! LOOK!" and without any hesitation or as much a second thought Jun pulled up her top, showing off everything. And revealing that she had been to lazy to put on a bra that morning in the process as well.

Not pulling down her top and still looking at the blurry green creature Jun pointed at her bellybutton and exclaimed "SEE! HUMAN!"

[Fin~]

Phiola and Roderick payed close atention to Rudy as they walked through the sewers, Rudy appologized for walking through here and phiola said That is okay Rudy, we are atleast safe here, even if it's dark''

As they continued walking around Rudy stopped them, he had heard two woman talking and was going to ambush them, phiola said '' There is no need to ambush them, we don't know their intentions'' but rudy didnt hear her and had already climbed up pointing his arms into the other direction.

After Rudy Roderick climbed up into his human form and Lifted Phiola and the belongings up. on their way up a woman had been talking to rudy, telling her that she was a human, and she was glad to meet a sewer monster, and then she suddenly undressed. roderick put his hands on Phiola her eyes and said '' Oi lady, you don't undress infront of a child''

Phiola had no idea what is going on, as rodericks hands were on her eyes before she could see anything, '' Roderick what is going on, why is it all so dark? and what is all this noise? '' she was really confused over what was happening
