Everflame (Finished)

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Seeker climbed to her feet, and ran to the Gathen, pulling it away from Tabby to check its wounds. The girl falls to the ground, covered in blood. The woman turns to Howl.
"You are my ally, but these people are not. They will steal from the dead, I cannot allow this!"

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

He ran to Tabby, kneeling next to her with worry on his face. "Wait! What do you mean, steal from the dead? Are you saying if we take the codes from Leon, then....."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius stood over her and placed his blade at her neck, M500 pointed at her head. "Woman, watch who you talk about. You know bloody well who I am, and my reputation. Being one of such upbringing, I would have expected better of you. I know about you. If anyone be making accusations, it would be the ones who were attacked first in this little bump-in. So don't get cheeky. I don't care about Howl very much, and even less for you. So unless you care to listen, say goodnight....... for good."

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Seeker stared up at Korius, whispering a growl. "You know nothing of me, or I of you, assassin. I know only of myself, and of the spirits. What I know is you will steal from the dead. You must not."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius sneered at her. "Whatever we do, if it's necessary for the mission, I will do it. Should this whole thing be a waste and for naught, I'll see to its disposal."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kate jumped to the side, dodging the falling vomit...

~KZZCH~ "eugh! open fire marines! shoot to stun!" ~KZZCH~

The marines pulled carbines to their shoulders and opened fire with rapid bursts of concusion rounds, Crow was buffeted as he climbed but despite the blood dripping from one nostril he seemed unpreterbed by the shots.... A few marines switched to shock rounds, in an attempt to stun him....

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Asia walked up by Korius,
"Yeah, we need Leon's info. It's mission critical," he said before turning to howl, seeing Tabby bleeding onto the cave floor. "Howl, how is she?" Seeker growled louder, looking from the rabbit to the wolf.
"Your mission is not my conern. I must keep safe the dignity of the dead." He body began to flare with colour, as her feelers, stroked the Gathen's fur.


On Serra Draconis, Crow continued to climb, high up near the peak of the tower. Every shot that hit, he brushed off like dust.

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"She is the conveyor of messages, from spirits to mortals. I would guess she is giving us a message from the spirits to stop." He turned to the seeker, "But why would you stop us from taking something we need from Leon? He was going to give it to Asia himself but died in the process."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kate swore loudly into her helmet comms...

~kzzch~ "this aint doin' frack guys!"~Kzzch~

a few other marines continued to fire, but it seemed the Colonel really was somthing else... Kate angrily pushed her way through to the buggy, getting into the drivers seat she sighed heavily... no one wanted to look stupid...

~kzzzch~ "get back in the buggys boys and girls.... we failed.." ~kzzch~

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Asia looked to Howl and grabbed his shoulder,
"Hey! I said how is Tabby?! For goodness sake man, I'm no doctor and you know wounds, help her!" he said, pointing to the injured girl, slumped against the wall. Seeker stared back at Howl, disdain flickering over her.
"The spirits do not deal with flesh bodies, but my people know that when person die, their selves and their possessions must not be disturbed," she said, turning back to Korius to add, "He will not have peace, if I let you pass.


On Serra Draconis, Crow coughed and spluttered, continuing his climb until finally reaching the peak. He looked to the sky, opened his mouth wide and let out the devilish call of the Triffid. It crushed his normal voice, squeezing it until he could not speak. Something was filling his throat as his mouth grew wider and wider. His eyes bulged, his nose cracked as a green shoot pushed out from his head. His face splaying out like a blooming flower. The shoot grew out from him, up higher and higher, reaching up into the air like a green beacon stained with blood. At its top, a large sphere grew, changing colour from green to yellow as spores popped upon its surface. The shoot stretched and creeked to as high as it could muster.

Then it exploded.

It burst into a cloud of spores, falling across the planet's surface. And from each one that hit the ground, soon young Triffids would grow.

[KittKat chunky~]

The two buggys rocked and bounced across the planets surface, kicking up bright yellow plumes of newly dropped spores... at the wheel of the lead Buggy Kate frantically steered around a deep creavase...

~"The Colonel's dead miss!"~
~Yes you moron! and that puts me in charge! follow my lead and dont you dare die you idiots!"
~"yessir... seargent Veldrat out"~
~"We need to get back to the tower and carrier! frack! and i thought we'd just got away from these infernal dandeloins!"~

Wheels spinning the buggys headed back for the bay, while warning the guys back at the base seemed pointless, for who could have missed the event that had just happaned, they needed somewhere to defend. If they where caught in the open like this... well... Kate could only cringe and push the thought away...

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius withdrew and sheathed his blade, but kept the M500 pointed at her head. "Say the word, Asia. I'll kill her here and now." He knelt down by Tabby and inspected her, keeping an eye on the seeker as well as his gun. "She'll be fine. Just minor bruises, nothing else. She's got a small concussion, though. She's going to act and sound like she's drugged/drunk for quite a while. Otherwise, completely fine."

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Howl frowned, "Sorry about that Asia." Then he turned to the Seeker, walking in front of Gathen. "If we don't get those codes, Leon would have died in VAIN! His objective was to get the codes to Asia, and that's what he wants US to do. Let us pass, Seeker, for if it is your duty to keep the peace in Leon's soul, then you will let us go!"

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius got up and picked up Tabby, carrying her on his back. He kept his gun on the seeker, "I'll just kill her, then. That way, she has no say."

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The meerkat captain on Serra Draconis called out to Kate through the buggy comms.
"What is going on? What happened?"





In Raven's Nest, Asia breathed a sigh of relief at Tabby's condition, before his grew stern.
"Look... Seeker is it? Look we're getting the codes today and you know you can not stop us." The woman turn to him, her body grow brighter and brighter, burning with colour. She smiled, before she shone out a blinding light. At the same time, the Gathen turned to Korius lunging for him with its massive body.
