The Oni King (Open)

Kyune walked through through Tengel, Veloc close behind. Both were in their human forms. They had been traveling this way for quite some time. They were less recognizable in these forms.

"So, when do you think the King is going to catch us?" Asked Veloc.

Kyune sighed. "Why do you think he is?"

"I don't, you do." He said accusingly. Of course he was right.

"Because he has never failed before."

Arya was trailing the two ever since they had all left the caverns, and yet she had a feeling that they two knew she was trailing.  Long before she entered the forest, Arya had shifted forms to one of her many more combat like ones, sensing something wrong in the new place.  Being quite bored with just jumping from limb to limb in the trees, she decided that it would probably be best to just officailly let the two know that they were most likely going to be stuck with her.  On second thought, she decided to make the intro a bit funny.  Drawing out her mind to Kyune's, she thought with as much force as she could muster, "Heya! Heya! I'm back!"

((Hope you don't mind me joining this soon, but I figured that since the order that we began with was you, then me, then dragon, I might as well try to stick to that order.))

And don't mind me, Im just a son of a gun
So dont stop, dont stop until your heart goes numb

"Hello, Arya." He thought back. "your tree jumping was silent enough, but you need to work on keeping the birds quiet. And, perhaps, staying upwind."

For even though he was in his least combat-oriented human forms, he still had an extremely acute sense of smell. And Lykhunas kept their general scent when they shifted.

Veloc stopped, since Kyune had as well. "What's up?" He asked, obviously clueless to Arya.

"You didn't hear the birds?" As Kyune skeptically.

"Well, yes, I heard some- Oh! Arya is following us." He said, and the human fellox swore that he could hear the mental click. "Is she mind-speaking with you?" He asked. Kyune nodded.

Swinging down from one of the lower tree branches, Arya jumped onto Veloc's back, then down to the ground as he protested.  "Hey, so why are we here anyway?" she knew it had to be something important, and she needed to know, so despite the protests, Arya pulled Kyune off to the side and said, "Ok, time to talk.  That bandit you had pinned down said something important, and I want to know what it was.  Especially if it had anything to with me."

He thought about whether to say anything, studying her face as he did, as if he would find the answer there. Of course, he did, and spoke.

"He said the Oni King sent them." He replied quitely. Then he said something that he hadn't said even to Veloc. "And he isn't after ou. He planned to kidnap you to lead me into a trap."

"He wants to kill me. And he will no doubt get his wish." He finished solemnly.

((How does he know about the Oni King? He has told Veloc and Arya. no one overheard it, since it was just a whisper.))

Kyune was about to say that he was most certainly not his best fried, but Veloc interrupted that train of thought.

"Nope, my best friend is Ol' Fox over here." He said mockingly. Kyune growled, and a mild shock took Veloc's hand off.

"I was hoping to do a hiding of the non-crazy type. Shouting to the heavens of our plan will not help." Kyune finished.

"Does everyone know about this Oni King but me?" Arta asked annoyedly. "Hey, if they were after you, why did they want me dead?". Kyune had a confused expression on his face and to answer it, she said,  "If you haven't already forgotten, I can read minds, and all of the bandits were thinking one thing.  So is there something you aren't telling me, are we all in danger?  Why does the king even want you?"

(( he was stalking them remember, He was bound to hear the conversation))

Well i know one thing, That if we stay here we will be ambushed and as for your question, i don't think that any one would know. He changed back to his animal form. So lets get going! he started to baet his wings and he rose a bit higher in the air to spot anything out of the ordinary.

((Commenting that in a rain forest, you can't spot everything no matter how high you are. It actually gets more difficult.))

Kyune groaned. "They either disguise their minds, or he tricked them into thinking that he wanted them to kill you." When he saw her confused look, he added: "If they had succeeded in getting to you, he would have taken complete control of them and had them kidnap you instead."

"As for why he wants to kill me, that I will not tell. Not to you, not even to Veloc. To tell would mean death for all those who hear it." As he said this, he blocked his mind completely and utterly. Not even his most conscious thoughts could be read through the impenetrable mind wall he had put up.

Arya probably could have broken through the mental barrier, but of course, that would probably have meant that Kyune would have been seriously hurt.  "Ok, but sooner or later, you'll have to tell someone.  And you'd be surprised at how much I can do to protect a secret."  Arya had to admit though, that this Oni King was sounding more and more dangerous by the minute.  How could she have gotten herself into this anyway?  She didn't really mind being in the mess, it was just the fact that she didn't know what the mess was exactly.  And Kyune being unwilling to divulge any of the information that he knew abouut it didn't help Arya calm down either.  Walking along, her thoughts began to drift to other things related with the Tengel Rain forest.  Something was tugging at her mind, and then she remembered.  Walking over to Kyune once more and said, "Hey.  You probably knew it, but just to remind you, Moonlings are said to be found here.  Perhaps we could find one here.  Their appearances are quite rare, but who knows?  We're being chase and hunted by an Oni King, and traveling with a Fellox, Lykuhna, Serraptor, and Kodile.  We already seem to have defeated all of the odds, so how about we think about it?"

Well that is somthing to think about.THe Kodile flew back down proving that the tree tops were to much of a hassle to deal with. The group just kept on flickering in and out of veiw. One time he was sure that Kyune was covered in gravy. But that proved to be just a weird formation of leaves. Then there was a rustle beside them.Icewing stopped. Did you hear that?

"Rabbit." He sid, as a white shape darted out of the brush. He sniffed the air. "On guard!" He said to the others through mind link. The 'rabbit' turned, rushing strait at them. Kyune turned, and snatched at it. Not at the rabbit itself, but at a tag with Japanese symbols on it. He ripped it off and threw it in the air, where it exploded in a flash of brilliant fire. The rabbit was also terrified.  Amazingly even though the fire completely engulfed some of the trees, none caught ablaze. "Illusion!" Kyune growled, and then twenty shurikens flew through the blaze. He clapped his hands together, and when he pulled apart again, a string of light connected them. He pulled them completely apart, and they separated, the strings growing and thickening, crackling and shifting, whips of true lightning. None of his forms were completely defenseless. This was not a power that he used often.

He leaped into the air, spinning as the whips flew through the air Both wrapped around a shuriken, and he flung them into the blaze. He jerked his hands, and the whips flowed along, picking up speed as the wave traveled along the link. It reached the end, and there was a devastating snap, which sent out a cone of sound. All of the shurikens missed the group, completely encircling them. He could he screams, and then saw two bodies drop from the trees. All of the shurikens exploded, sending a huge cloud of smoke up around them, blinding them. This battle was making a turn for the worse.

"These aren't the Oni's minions. These are a splinter group. They don't want to capture us. They want us dead!" Kyune growled. He sent another, much larger wave along the rips. This time it sent out a wave of sound, travling forwarrd through the illusions. The fire broke up, and the smoke was pushed out of the way. It hit the splinter group, sending many flying. He could see now how many there were.

Hundreds. Hundreds of bandits, versus this group of four. They didn't stand a chance. He could see among them three Oni's. Any one of them would have been a match for Kyune, but three and three hundred minions were too much. No doubt they all had their minds controlled by the Oni's. Oni minds were not like any others, and were not susceptible to mind reading, or Arya's ability to kill with thought. Veloc's main weapon was anger, making the enemy so angry that they made mistakes, and that wouldn't work here.  

"The good news is that the Oni King doesn't know where we ar. This group broke off from him ages ago. I don't know why the King lets them live. The bad news is that we stand no chance, since Arya can't do anything to their minds. Oni minds aren't affected by anyone except an Oni Master, of which all of these are. The only thing that affects the mind of an Oni Master is an Oni King, of which there is only one." He explained. "There is only one option, and that is a retreat!"

And with that, he grabbed Arya's and Veloc's hands, and then Veloc grabbed icewing. "Ok, here we go. You may feel a little nausea for your first time." He said, and then Veloc muttered something. Suddenly, they were in a tube a flashing colors, traveling through faster than possible. The pressure was immense, and they spun through without gravity. Contradictions like this made it easy for a any normal being to lose control of his or her gag reflex, which in this ealm would turn around and hit them in their face. Not pretty.

They were dropped off in the same place that they were before, but there were no bandits. The area was empty. Only the ruptured ground and damaged trees were evidence of the fight before. Veloc lye on his hands and knees, gasping for breath.

"We have traveled two hours into the future." Kyune said, since Velo had a hard time talking after doing this. "The bandits think we died when they threw eighty bombs two seconds after we left." He continued, and that explained all of the ripped up trees, and the crater that they were standing in. "So they left. Veloc kept track of this while we were in the vortex, and put us back the second the last searchman confirmed our deaths. It may have seemed like two seconds for us, but for them it was over two hours. This power leaves Veloc completely drained of energy, and his recent sickness doesn't help. It would be best to rest for a while, but not for long. They will still have scouts around the forest."

"No, stop, that was sooo not needed!"  Arya screemed as they came out of the travel state.  Veloc and Icewing sdidn't look ok, but Arya had been dragged along rides like those a few times before, but that certainly didn't mean that she enjoyed them.  Truth be told, she hated them.  "I still don't see why we couldn't have just fought a few."

Oooh prety colors!Icewing change forms as they landed. When he got up he felt very dizzy. He shook his head and gave off the colors. He didn't hear what Kyune said. Hey! where are we? He then looked around and saw all of the torn up trees. Looks like the universe threw up then suked it back in and left this in the prosses. He went to inpect the trees to see if there were any pursuers. When he was sure there was no one around he put up a barrier of ice around them. I don't know about you but it's getting late. We better take a rest for today and see what we can find in the morning. On that note he changed back to being a Kodile and made another ice nests in one of the bare trees that survived the explosion. He slinked inside and fell asleep.

((PWN Arya)))
