Venom Gyrraptor

Organic Battleheart

As Drake moved through the forest he was amazed at how much wildlife there was.  A huge red dragonfly zoomed by his head and he lunged at it, watching how the sunlight glinted off his green feathers.  He missed but continued on, ever hoping to find the sign of the Biomortis flower.  He thought back to his sister, on her makeshift bed of leaves and grass, and he plunged into the undergrowth, empowered by the thought.  He finally came to a clearing and saw a pool of water in the center.  Until now he had not noticed how voraciously hungry and thirsty he was and he ran to the pool and threw his head in, taking large slurps of the fresh water.  As he finally dragged his snout out, water glinting from his nose, he noticed large, orange, pear-shaped fruits hanging from the branches of a tree.  He quickly ascended it and grabbed one of the fruits.  He sank his teeth into it and was surprised by the sweet taste that exploded in his mouth.  He climbed down from the tree and turned to face the water.  A huge Battleheart occupied the space he had once been in.  It lowered it's head down to him and quietly said in a gravelly voice, "Looking for someone, kid?"  The Battleheart swung it's large claw around and knocked him unconscious.

Clockwork Yonyuu

Vii

Vii slunk through the forest slowly.  Being a clockwork, she was made for a specific purpose.  Her purpose was stealth.  She was a warrior.  A ninja.  She was excellent at walking around covertly in the forest.  The leaves below her made no noise.  Silently, she approached a pond in a clearing.  She arrived just in time to see a battleheart attack a gyrraptor and knock him out.  She stayed hidden, not moving, just watching.

When Drake came to, the last thing he remembered was a large claw swinging around and he was knocked out.  Curiously, he didn't remember any pain.  As if on cue, a flaming agony suddenly exploded into his head.  He groaned and writhed on the ground.  Then a large organic Battleheart filled his view and for a second, Drake  wondered what he was doing there.  Then he remembered what had happened and he tried to shrink into the ground and get away from it.  "Don't worry, little guy, I won't hurt you...yet."  He said this in a gruff voice as if his throat was filled with spit.  As he tried to sit up, he realized his hands were tied to ropes which connected to stakes in the ground.  "Sorry bud, just a precaution, wouldn't want anyone getting hurt, would we?"  With a sickening realization, Drake realized that he probably wouldn't get away from this situation with his life.  Unless he fought.  He asked the Battleheart his name and he answered with his gravelly voice, "Dsirus, " he pointed a large claw in Drake's direction, "and don't you forget it."  "Dsirus, could you get me a few of those orange fruits?"  He hoped it would distract him long enough so he could saw through the ropes and get away.  As the Battleheart turned away to get the fruit, Drake started to claw his way through the ropes and got pretty far before the Battleheart came back.  He tried to cover the partially severed ropes with his body so Dsirus wouldn't see what he did to them.  The Battleheart lowered the fruit to his mouth and he took a bite, savoring the sweetness of them.  After he had eaten the fruits he asked Dsirus to get him some water and the Battleheart happily agreed.  It seemed like he wanted to make the gyrraptor quite comfortable.  As he turned his back to Drake, he started cutting again.  They snapped silently and he started moving towards the forest.  As he got to the edge of the woods he thought he saw a catlike shape with yellow markings about ten feet away but then it disappeared and he realized it must have been a trick on his eyes.  When he was just about to leave,  he felt claws on his back and a powerful pulling sensation.  he was thrown backward and landed heavily on the ground.  As he was wondering what happened, Dsirus' face appeared over him, his eyes red with rage and smoke trickling out his nostrils.

[Gizmo]

Vii was still not interested in getting involved.  She just sat and watched the two.  The battleheart obviously wanted the gyrraptor for some reason, but he hasn't shown any clue as to why.  At this point, Vii was curious.  She kept watching.

Missy





Aaron

Two young Kuhna bounded through the foest, colliding and thrashing, claws drans and fangs shining.  Yet though the fighting laughter could be heard.  "Oh, get off of me!" said the younger of the two when the other, the Common Kuhna, had managed to pin him down.  

"Yough luck Aaron." said the Common, her head bent over his.  "Get stronger, and you wouldn't have ot ask."  

"That's not fair!  You're older!"  Aaron's voice grew loader with each word, and his vioce drifted over the trees.  

Finally steppng off of her brother, Missy looked around and sniffed the air.  "Um, Aaron?  Where's the trail?"  Scannign the area, Missy hopped up a tree, easily digging her claws into the bark as so to get a firm grip.  "I can't see it anywhere."  The skky was turning orange, and soon it would be dark.  Much too dark for the likes of the two.  "Uhg... why did I let you talk me into that fight!"

Even thoguh it had been Missy's idea to wrestle in the first place, Aaron only murmered, "Sorry..." as he looked down to his feet in shame.  He should know this forest by now.  He explored it every day.  But he never let himself get out this far.  It had, again, been Missy's idea, to explore further.

Perking up his ears, Aaron listen closely to see if any one was near.  It was almost a supernatural gift of his, his hearing. A voice drifted from a while away.  "I hear some one Missy!  Lets go there." And so the brother-[sister pair walked off into the forest to see what was to come.

[Sagacious_Otter]

Drake could only stare up at his face, terrified of what might and probably was going to occur.  "THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY MY KINDNESS?"  Dsirus' voice rang out like an erupting volcano.  He picked up Drake by the neck and hung him there for a few seconds before chucking him into the pool as if he was no more than a doll.  As the gyrraptor crashed into the water, he tried crawling to the opposite side.  Dsirus turned around and opened his mouth.  A hissing sound came from his maw and soon erupted into a ball of flame from his mouth.  Drake dove under the waves as the fire coursed above the liquid heating it up to an incredible temperature.  He dove deeper, trying to get away from the flames.  He then heard a curious splashing sound and he turned around to see Dsirus glaring at him from underwater.  He swam to the far end of the pool and dove on to the shore, gasping for breath.  The Battleheart also flew from the water and tackled him.  Drake kicked out with one of his talons and succeded in cutting through Dsirus' scales.  Green blood gushed out and the Battleheart roared in pain.  Drake took advantage of this situation and bounded for the trees on all fours, hoping the Battleheart wouldn't regain his footing.  He felt a claw on his foot and he twisted his head around and bit through it to the bone.  He jumped to the nearest tree and shimmied up it.  He jumped from tree to tree, savoring the freedom he had just won.  Back in the clearing, Dsirus was still lying there, severly injured and hating that little gyrraptor.  "Dammit!" And he pounded his fist on the ground.

[Gizmo]

What the heck is going on!?  Vii thought to herself.  Who were these pets?  Why did the battleheart want to keep the gyrraptor captive?  She snuck around the edge of the clearing to get a better view.  Then she heard two others coming near.  Kuhnas.  She hid in a bush quickly and continued to watch.  She still had no reason to get involved.

[Sagacious_Otter]

As Dsirus lay there almost wishing to die, he noticed a rustling in the bushes and he started crawling toward the treeline.  He got behind the bushes and tried to get on his feet.  The gyrraptor had cut his hamstring and his left leg was just about useless now.  He used his claws to draw his body behind a tree so he could get a look at whatever was hiding in the bushes.

[Gizmo]

Vii froze.  The battleheart had noticed her.  She shrunk as low as she could, praying that the dragon wouldn't come closer.  She readied herself for a violent confrontation.

[Roxianna]

Suddenly, Missy and Aaron burst into the clearing where the battle had just taken place.  "Hello?"  Missy shouted loudly.  "Hel-lo?"  Looking around for a moment, Missy sighed and sank to the ground.  "There's no one here, Aaron."

Aaron squinted his eyes as he looked out towards the setting sun.  "Hmm... no one here, huh?"  Of the two, Aaron was ovbiously the smarter.  He was kind though, never pointing this out to his sister.  It would only make her angery, and that never brought any good.  Instead, Aaron observed the surroundings on his own, noting every detail.  There were claw marks in the ground, fresh, from the looks of them.  Inprints, where another had been forced to the ground, lay inbeded inside the gouges.  This was a battle site.  Worse, green blood was smeered on the ground, and the blood had yet to dry.  This battle was recent.  The two siblings were definitely not safe here.

Turning to his sister, Aaron smiled and, laughing a bit, said, "I guess my ears were wrong.  There really isn't anyone here.  Let's keep looking back the way we came."  He was trying despritely to lead her away from here.

Frowning, Missy rolled her eyes and asked, "Why do you have to be so stupid?  Next time, make sures your ears are right before you lead me all of the way out here."

Aaron, sighing, said, "Sorry.  It's not my fault you're the smart one, big sis."  Good.  She was falling for it.  Soon, they'd be able to get out of there, safe and sound.

Missy, who was overly pleased with her brother's complimant, smiled and said, "Well, because I'm the smart one, I think we should keep looking around here.  Someone's bound to be near by."  After saying which, she imediately took off for the bushes.  Alarmed, Aaron thought, 'The fact that some one's here is the whole problem!'  But it was too late.  Missy had already stumbled into the bushes.  She screamed, alarmed in an instant by who was hiding there.

[Gizmo]

Vii used the distraction of the kuhnas appearing to sprint up a tree.  She srambled up the nearest trunk in the confusion.  Perching herself on a branch, she prepared for an attack.  Her initiative to join this fray may appear soon.  The wounded battleheart, the fleeing gyrraptor, the two kuhnas; this could turn out interesting.  Claws still extracted, she watched for the battleheart's reaction to the two small pets.

[Sagacious_Otter]

Dsirus heard the kuhnas before he saw them.  He heard one, it sounded like a male, give good advice to leave.  He must have seen the battle marks on the ground.  The Battleheart hoped that they wouldn't come but when he heard another voice, probably female pipe up to go in the bushes, his muscles tensed and he got ready to spring.  At this point he had forgotten about the rustling in the bushes because of the more immediate threat of the kuhnas.  They might be small, but he had grievous wounds already and he didn't know how long he could last against two.  As the female bounded into the bushes Dsirus snarled and lashed out, more in a defensive maneuver than aggressive.


(Out of RP) how do you do fights?

[Roxianna]

((Well, you know you're told not to god play, but usually, if you're fighting someone, their expecting a fight (because most people are provocated into a fight) and if that's the case and someone's expecting you to attack, then just say something like 'Bob jumped on Joe and slashed at his eyes' and then the other person can detirmine whether or not Bob actually does scratch out Joe's eyes or not.  The fact that Joe got pushed over usually won't bother the other person.  And then the other person can say 'Joe dodged, ducked around, and fleed', or what ever happens next.

If the person's not expecting you to attack, then ask if you can start a fight, and if so, the same thing above aplies. ))

Screaming again, louder than before, Missy stood in shock as the giant Battleheart bared down at her.  She so very wanted ot run, but she couldn't feel her legs.  This might be the end.

Suddenly, Aaron darted in, pushed Missy to the side, and just kept running.  He had grabbed one of her tails and given it a hard yank, pulling her a whole yard before she finally started running on her own.  Missy didn't have time to yowl at her brother; she was too busy looking back at what ever the heck that thing was.  She could see green squirting from it, and thought dully for a moment about what it was.  Blood, she realized.  The monster bleed green blood.

Aaron ran, sprinting for a few good minutes, before stopping abruptly.  Then, her turned to his sister.  "Are you okay?  Why didn't you run?!"

Missy just stammered and babbled a few noncoherant (sp?) sylables before she finally broke down and cried.  She was still scared half out of her wits, and Aaron's yelling wasn't helping.

Aaron sighed and laid down next to Missy, as if to show her that he indeed was not  apologizing, but he wasn't with holding forgiveness either.  He felt bad for yelling, but it was a stupid time for her to freeze up like she did.  In a way, it was his fault, but if she had listened, this would have never happened.  Aaron just hoped they weren't followed.

[Gizmo]

After Dsirus lashed at the kuhnas, Vii climbed down the tree to the wounded battleheart.  "What are you doing here?  Why did you capture the gyrraptor?" she asked him, sure that he was too tired to attack her.
