Marcus blinked as the giant golden colored iguanadon with wings landed next to him. "What... the FUCK! Are you?"

Marcus was looking at the creature as the woodland animals began to congregate. Marcus had no intention of answering, in fact his thought right now was to fry this overgrown lizard and be on his way, the goodness radiating from this things body was making him feel nausious.

"argh!!!!!"

Nuada was rolling in his own flames. Sean fought to take control, the drugs PRID had injected had seemingly weakend Nuada's grip on his own body.

With one Hand, Nuada tried to lunge at Marcus and the Dragon, then tripped asSean stopped the motor functions. He forced control over his, HIS! vocal cords, turning his head to the dragon.

"PLease.....pluu...please get hhiim.....oat!"

He began to burn hotter and brighter, his fireball visible for miles.

I was flying over, nearing the city of Washington, then I saw an ancient worm strain from the Galactica Wars, though it was little off. Around were spats of chemical bullet discharges and magic energies, a portal from god knows where with some ghosty things pouring out. It was certainly a battlefield, if a small scale one. Since this was an intelligence mission I felt this would be a good place to start. I landed some distance away and began crawling unnoticed to the crowd, watching the confrontations occurring. the worm strain was apparently also trying to find out what was going on, I listened using the suits audio hoping to gain some information...

Justin Bailey was upset. The Atlanteans were growing increasingly hostile, no doubt thanks to those bureaucratic fools in Washington. The Atlantean prophecies indicated their return to Earth in the year 2015 and by whatever gods exist he was going to make sure they get back in one piece. The machine he found in Atlantis did wonders for him, effectively doubling his life-span, but he wasn't going to let this opportunity slip past him. After putting on the rest of his armor, Bailey stepped out of his estate and began somersaulting through the air. That explosion in the distance meant that something was up, and it most likely involved the Atlanteans and PRID.

The clouds cleared slightly, allowing a ray of sunight to penetrate. It hit the dragon like a GodLight causing is scaled to reflect the light and shine with an ever moving shimmering radience. He stood on his hind legs, his wings partially stretched and arced his neck as he answered. His voice seeming to emanate from all points at one.

" I am Halastyrix I am defender of the weak, protector of the innocent. I am the leviathen, the golden chariot, the tooth and claw of justice."

He got back down an all fours and adressed the human again this time without all the pomp

"And who may you be?"

It was then that the dragon noticed the case of obvious mindmerging.

He set one of his claws down gently on the poor person to prevent them from becoming injured, pinning him to the ground, he then extended his neck and asked

"Who is inside you?"

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2004-02-23 07:04pm

Marcus was watching the dragon as it began to speak. He lost interest after the name, got bored about half way through the "Defend the innocent" speech, and was annoyed by the time it addressed him.

"I'm the motherfucker who's gonna turn you into so much dust if ya don't shut it you overgrown lizard!" Marcus waved a hand at the creature in disgust at the creature as it turned it's attention to Nuada.

"That loser? Some stupid god or some such bullshit, now how about you just point me to the nearest sign of civilization so I can remove it from the face of the earth, I'm pissed." Marcus walked away from the scene, the smoke still coming up from the mountain, pieces of rubble still falling. Suddenly Marcus saw the apparation girl in the corner of his vision waving her arms and pointing behind him, Marcus looked back to see a rather upset Dragon.

This horrible manthing was clearly evil and needed to be put in its place.

*THOK* With a swipe of a single claw the dragon hit Marcus square in the chest as he looked back. He hit him very hard... then before the puny manthing could escape the earths gravity, grabbed it with his claws tossed it up in the air, and used his tail like a baseball bat.

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2004-02-23 07:17pm

Marcus had time to raise his force field which managed to take the brunt of the damage from the claw, he saw the tail coming in him and pulled out his katana to stab into the tail as it hit him... it didn't work very well and Marcus went flying, he didn't leave without a parting gift however, as he spun through the air Marcus fired three quick blasts that struck the chest, head, and one of the dragon's arms. The shot to the chest drove the Dragon back some, that actually hurt! And some smoke was coming up from where the shot had hit. The second shot struck square in the forehead, swinging the dragon's head around from the force of the blast, some of the scales were actually missing from that blast. The third shot drove deep into the dragons arm and swung it off the ground, leaving the beast unbalanced for a moment.

Marcus grinned as he saw the creature stunned by the blasts, of course, this landing would hurt, a lot. Marcus turned to look at the ground which was becoming increasingly closer. With a wince he turned on his force field again and crashed into the ground, digging a small trench before bouncing once. "God damn it, if I fly one more friggin time..."

He was bored. Really bored.
Not that all this apparition thing wan't something to do. It was easy...

He walked out of his hotel, and drove to the PRID headquarters. He strolled through the large structures, and finally made it to Mancer's office.
She was hunched over a computer terminal, seemingly just done something important.
"My dear," he spoke, sounding seriously bored. "What a boring day, isn't it?"
"Not really. I actually have things to do."
"Ah yes," he looked around the office, sniding at the cheap interior typical to the PRID building. "I'm looking for something to do. Something not boring me to death. How you can stand it around here is beyond me. I need to act. And not just looking after some of those PRID goons here... Do you have something, oh mighty Boss of PRID? Else I'll be off and buy myself another company. At least it's fun..."

Halastyriix was somewhat irritated by the blasts. Despite what the little creature may have though, he had learned how to absorb impacts and if you resist them, they just hurt more. He simply went with the flow. His scales could reflect almost anything, and they did their job.

It was clear that ths manthing was a danger to society and needed to be stopped.

He spread his wings, and had the forest creatures watch oer the possessed one. He took to the air and taced the hmns trajectory, and found the trench, and found the pathetic weasel of a man getting up. He closed his wings and lined himself up... then plummeted toward marcus in a stoop.

Marcus looked up just in time to see a very large claw headed toward him, and no time to react as Halastyrix spread his wings caught the air and snatched Marcus.

With one giant flap of his wings, the dragon was already hundreds of feet above the ground.

He nbegan to squeeze... the squeezed and squeezed until he was a 3 thousand feet up. He then let go and used his tail to slap the evil one toward the ground at terminal velocity.

Then he took on an evasive pattern to try to dodge any incoming energy blasts.

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2004-02-23 08:30pm

Marcus felt like crap, and was thankful his force field held off the crushing force enough to not pop like a grape. At about 2,000 feet up Marcus decided enough was enough and his energy began to expand.

Halastyriix didn't realize what the man thing was doing until he felt the burning sensation, he looked down to see a globe of blue energy where the annoying manthing had been. When the pain gre the dragon let the creature go, noticing that the scales on his arm were gone and his arm looked as if a mortal had stuck its arm in a roaring fire. In annoyance Halastyriix swung his tail down and struck the annoying creature.

Marcus swore and coughed a few times as the tail contacted him, this was really gonna hurt unless he thought, fast. First things first though, Marcus turned to face the maneuvering dragon and took aim, if he was going down, so was the dragon. He charged his shot for a second and then fired four times, two shots aimed at one wing, two shots at the other. Halastyriix dodged the first set of blasts but not the second, the two blasts hit him and he roared in pain as the shots burned through his scales and flesh, and the wing went dead, Halastyriix began to fall, albeit slowly.

Marcus meanwhile was smiling as he looked back down at the ground and fired a continuous beam of energy into the ground, the ground exploded and dirt plumed up into the air as the destructive force dug through the ground. Marcus felt the dragon looming over him and turned his blast, pushing him more to the side. Marcus began to slow down and get pushed to the side, the destruction on the countryside, meanwhile, was increasing immensely, destroying most of the forest in the area. Eventually Marcus slowed down to a point where he was close enough to the ground, a good distance away from where his original trajectory would have put him. Marcus still crashed into the ground rather hard, and slowly got to his feet, shaking his head.

"God damn mystical creatures..." Marcus began to stagger towards the town he had seen on his descent.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-02-23 08:46pm

NOW THAT HURT! Halastyrix thought to himself, he had underestimated the creature.

The damage however was minimal. He had multiple scale layers and they regrew quckly, and his skin naturally turned away heat. It hurt, but not enough to make him fret about it. Wizards had done worse.

The real problem was the wing. Halastyrix fought to regain control of it. It was basically the equivalent of a deadarm, or a muscle cramp. What he basically had to do was use the muscles along his back to keep his wing steady(take a look at how they are put together)as he tried to get the primary flight muscles back where he could feel them. As he slowly glided toward the ground. He basically fell like spirlaling paper airplane and hit the ground softly on his feet... The scales were blacked and charred, and the membranes had suffered damage, but he could still use the wing, and the damage would be healed in a few days.(the equivalent of a cut up arm, or a stove-top wound)

He would notbe wanting to fight that evil little buggar until then though. But there he vowed that he would destroy tat vessell of evil. And went to go see what happened with that possesd manthing.

Hank coughed as the rumbling continued, and started counting off the damage done. "All here? Check. Equipment damaged? No. L-Cac here? Check. Fish Dude?"
Suddenly even the rumbling seemed to stop. "Fish Dude?... Did anyone see him as we left?"
There were a few more seconds of silence, then the rear guard said, "Yeah, I saw him, tapped him and signed for him to follow us too... thought he was behind me sir..."

Hank was at a loss for words. "Fine, uh... he must have teleported away...
What does Charlie say?"

One of the new men from the reinforcing team said, "He says that the mountain was an old volcano, that's probably the reason the charge did so much damage. No sign of the squid man, says there's action out there and he'll fly back when we get out."

Hank nodded, then said. "Right boys get out the drills, were going to drill our way out and come out fighting!"

I saw the fight between the Worm strain, and thought how sad it was that once mighty weapons of biological warfare had devolved, and the other creature. I had seen enough of them, and I leapt up again and flew, low towards Washington, where I hoped to have my questions answered...

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-02-23 11:10pm

As hank was speaking with his men, an injured dragon walked by at a rather brisk pace. a dragon that weighed in at dozens upon dozens upon dozens of tons and was several hundred feet long...

"Mmm. I think they're having a little party in the woods today... Might be fun to join in. Of course, I don't have to remind you that would reveal your powers that aren't supposed to exist... Don't stay out too long."

Somewhere in DC

"Mr. Chang, I hope you understand, we are in an extremely dangerous situation. Our main force of Knights and Priests in HK, NY, London, Tokyo and DC have been either annihilated or apprehended, our elite force of Templars have been totally wiped out. We still have our High Sorcerors and High Priests but some of them are becoming unreliable. Which is why we finally considered your promotion."

"Yes, my Lord. I understand the importance of my job. As a Professional Hunter from York Shin City, which is the equivalent of NY in my world, I provide the top service a Hunter could offer." The cloaked figure said in a grim voice.

"Your main task, to ensure safety as well as victory of the Cult. You will only answer to me or my succeeder. After the Final Coming of the Messiah, you will undoubtly be rewarded highly."

"To serve the Messiah is my best reward."

"Very well. Now for work. Your first quest fits your job as a Hunter very well. There are reports of a dragon showing up, your quest is to capture it. We might have great use of such a creature."

-----------------------------------------------

"So?" Donna Drake asked as Nick, alias "Mr. Chang" walked out the building.

"Success in promotion. My first assignment is to hunt a dragon. I've never been a Creature Hunter unless you count the "Winged Sabretooth Hunt", but I think it will still be fun and challenging."

"Good, I've been hearing reports of a battle involved with a dragon. Let's go and take a look."

"Hm, wood... You know I'm not the nature guy, normally. But as long as it's some fun..."
"He sighed. "Don't you just miss the old days? When taking over the world was actually something worthwile? Oh well..."

He walked out of the building, strolling around as if he owned it, got his car and drove in the direction Mancer indicated. After a few miles, the location wasn't really hard to miss...

Marcus was too busy limping and swearing to notice the figure flying in the corner of his eye. After about a mile he did see someone else that was just getting out of his car. Marcus grinned and pulled his trenchcoat alittle loose and ruffled his hair up more than it was, he really looked like hell. Marcus walked up to the man, well, limped would be much more appropriate.

"Sir! I'm going to have to ask you to leave the area. This is a highly dangerous place at the moment, there's a madman somewhere in the woods and has destroyed a large amount of area, we're going to need you to leave the area. And if you could give me a ride as well, I lost the rest of my group and need to get back to the base." Marcus looked a little more serious, noticing that this man looked rich and smug he figured this would be easy as hell to take him out, the rich were always easy targets when alone.

Dorian raised an eyebrow at the filthy figure that had appeared from behind a rock formation. "Really now..."

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-02-24 05:41pm

He scanned the man, that approached him. He did look seriously beaten up. As he scanned his thoughts, he smiled a toothy smile.
"And why should I give you a ride?" his scathing british accent icily cut the guy off before he could go on. "I have been asked by a friend to take a look at this...wonderful forrest. I don't think I'll leave just now. But I'm absolutely sure you'll get some other transportation." Dorian walked towards the forrest.
"If you 'll excuse me?"
