Everflame 2 (FINISHED)

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin suddenly let go of her arms, then behind her back as if she were under arrest since he wasn't trying to torture her for anything. "My hair was like this ever since the Everflame incident. One time I actually had a doctor see if I could have them replicate the gene for cosmetics; do I need to list my current total in royalties?" He said with a chuckle as he let her go and stepped away, and didn't realize that the hour was nearly over...

"Well then, Mister Jones, I have a little job for you when you get home tonight...."  The salesman felt a strange sensation in his mind, like black tendrils creeping into his conciousness.  The tendrils were pulling, wrenching at his brain...reeling his mind into that black pit of Nero's socket.

"When you get home you're going to make dinner for your wife and children..."  Nero's words pierced into the salesman's brain, bypassing any reservations or defenses.  "When you do..."  Nero whispered into the man's ear for a moment and then stood away from him.  Leaving the salesman to his task, Nero got into one of the ships and took off.

Tabby rubbed her arms  and rolled her shoulders, stretching to relieve the tension, while never taking her eyes off of him. She was smiling, and licked her lips.
"That's pretty cool." The door to the sparring room swung open, and squad D strolled in, led by the crow who had a fierce stare at Chronin. Tabby glanced over to them. "We should talk later, over dinner." She turned, and with swinging hips, walked over to her men, beckoning them to go to Chronin.





Kaicen Jones watched in silence as Nero got into the ship and flew away, and got covered in the dust that it blasted in take-off. Nero rose up, bursting through the atmosphere, before a message was sent to his console. It flashed open with the initials EBP.
"Unknown vessel, this is the Earth Border Patrol. Please transfer your information so we may allow you to leave orbit of the planet."

Meanwhile, Jones turned and headed home.

Chronin went back to get his coat since thats what he was wearing when he messed with the crow. "What I am about to say applies to everyone but the crow, and Tabby: I want to face each of you one on one, that way I can get an idea of how good you are without a gun. I don't care about order, but I expect to have fought everyone before the day is done." He stretched his arms and looked among those he really hadn't had a chance to fight as his hair started to raise back up again...

Tabby left the room while the squad jostled to decide who went first. The giant anteater stepped forward, presenting his formidable physique and deadly claws. He stepped up to Chronin, spread his arms, and planted his legs, ready to fight. The doors opened again, and Tabby returned with a bottle of water and a chair that she dragged along the floor and swung round so she could sit with folded arms, watching the show.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin tried to hold in his laughter as the anteater's mouth dangled just within his reach. "You sure you don't want to... tie that down?" he said with a smirk before taking the mouth and yanking it hard. The anteater broke his stance as he was rather surprised Chronin then stuck his talon into the mouth, raking the bottom of it before yanking it up and kicking out the soldier's right leg.

The anteater swung into his abdomen when Chronin forced him onto a knee, but Chronin didn't feel much as the coat buffeted most of the blow. He then grabbed the anteater's hand and twisted it to where it sounded like bones were breaking, but it was actually his wrist being twisted out of the socket instead of actual bone damage. The dragon then let go of the anteater's mouth before swining the arm behind the solider, and putting the heel of his foot on his tail.
"You rely too much on your upper body and should put some focus into kicking. Also, either get a different mouth, or try to turn it into a weapon so this doesn't happen again. Contestant two, time for your evaluation." He let go of the man's arm, and literally walked over his back before hopping onto the middle of the mat. Amazingly, there was not a single tear where he walked, even though his feet had rather large talons...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Tabby bounced with laughter in her seat. The human soldier, in his short denim jacket and combat trousers, had joined her, and they muttered, whispered and giggled together. The anteater stumbled away, back into the crowd. Nobody moved to replace him, everyone shuffling and nudging eachother towards Chronin.
"Come on, boys, show some guts!" yelled Tabby, as she chucked the top of bottletop at them. "Morgan, get going." Among the crowd, the bulldog looked back at her, thought for a moment, and nodded. He walked out into the open, composed himself and puffed out his chest, breathing in deep. Once ready, he set himself into a ready, heavy, brawler stance.
"Ding ding ding," yelled the human, making Tabby giggle again.

Blaze looked across at Annie, running a hand through his hair and shrugging "Well... Its pretty good.... Never a boring day" Annie looked up at Blaze, smiling behind his back with the smile of a proud parent... Blaze continued, scratching nervously at the nape of his neck... "But.... In the future i hope to join the marine core, like my dad..."  Annie's smile suddenly turned to a frown of concern, as she finished retying her ponytail...

 

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin's grin went from childish to predatorial as he adopted a boxing stance and got near the bulldog. He dodged the first set of swings easily before he reached out for the dog's left hand. But it was actually a fake-out as Chronin was knocked off the ground as the bulldog slammed the side of his arm at his hip. Once again, the coat took away most of the damage, but not the momentum that Chronin still felt. He could tell quickly that the bulldog had a moment of inflated ego for making him fly off the ground, but that was when Chronin turned the tables...

His right arm latched onto the bulldog's muscle and hooked his claws in before pushing the arm with both of his legs, sending the attack right across the bulldog's chest. If it had been a serious battle, Chronin would have pulled back on the forearm, breaking the elbow as well as using the momentum to knock the bulldog back; only the latter occoured. He then held the bulldog's forearm around his neck before knocking out his knees and pulling the entire arm back. "You did better than contestant one, almost made me resort to lethal combat just to turn the tables. Just don't let your arms get any bigger than this, makes it really hard to deal with sudden attacks from behind, or breaking out of holds." He let go of the bulldog and gave him an audible smack on the back that made him buckle for a moment as he walked back to the center of the mat. "Since nobody wants to volunteer, I'll have Miss Tabby pick out my third contestant..."

"Really?" Reggie said, with raised eyebrows. He glanced at Annie, fuming, then smiled to the boy. "Well maybe you'll do some good for the galaxy. I was never one for the forces. It's a different world to me." He looked around at the cargo bay, and all the familiar angles arcing over them. "So what did your dad do in the core?"





Tabby hopped up off the chair and sauntered in front of the cowering group.
"Aww look at 'em." She put her arm on the ferrets shoulder. He smiled at her and she grinned wide and whispered in his ear, moving forward with him, frogmarching him out in the open. She looked up into Chronin's eyes. "This is Lans, and save for Mr. lazy human back there," she nodded over to her chair. "He's my final favourite, so after him we should probably get out and fight real criminals." She grinned, then looked to the ferret. "You've beaten the others, Elite boy, but don't underestimate him. He surprises me everyday." He patted the ferret on the shoulder and pushed him towards Chronin. He stared up at the dragon, with nerves sparking in his eyes. He set himself, ready to move.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono frowned  slightly at the 'underestimating' statement, but nodded and his hair started to spike out again as he advanced towards the ferret. They both waited for an unusual amount of time until Chronin acted first by going for a punch to the gut. However, the ferret literally bent around the punch, then grabbed the arm and tried to repeat what Chronin did earlier. However, he was currently in a state of constant shock, only reacting instinctivly to attacks. That is why he swung his arm and pulled the ferret off the ground and slammed him back down before putting his foot talons right at the ferret's gut as his tail waited to hold the ferret in place. The ferret had a look of defeat as he realized how close he was to getting a serious injury, and let go. Chronin got his foot off and huffed as his serious mood kept the hair spiked. "Get suited up and report to docking; I'll brief you on our mission in twenty minutes" Chronin walked out of the room with only a nod in Tabby's direction as he turned on his personal comm. "This is Elite officer Chronin requesting mission briefing for Squad D." he said as he took the long way towards the docking area...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Tabby winked at Chronin as he passed, and then headed to the ferret to pull him to his feet. She put her arm around him, picked up her top and the legs of her jeans, and then gathered the boys to follow her to the locker room.

Over the comm, Chronin's commanding officer grumbled the orders.
"It's a simple patrol. Your area has Flatread street at one corner, and Spencer road at the opposite. That's three square miles. Get to it"

[Entaru]

Nero looked to the comm as it buzzed to life.  Transfer information?  What information?  Nero sighed and flipped the comm on.  "Eh, sorry EBP...I just got this ship and I don't know where everything is yet.  I could show you my information in person but probably not over any frequencies as of yet."

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie stood behind Blaze, hands on hips as she waited to see what he would say... Blaze either ignored her, or didnt notice the scowl of disaproval, as he continued to explain "Well, he joined young, around my age... I dont know much about the details, but he met my mum during enforcement training.... And then he went into enforcement branch of the core as a secondary officer..." Annie seemed to calm down slightly, as if she had thought he would say somthing different, but Blaze had not finished...

"But... uhm, you probably know about the Triffid problem... Anyway, my Dad helped save an entire team of Marines and his rescuers from a..." He was cut off by Annie, who caught him a sharp slap across the back of the head... She gave him  a look that clearly said ...thats enough... Blaze rubbed the back of his head, more in annoyance than pain, but he too realised that maybe he was saying too much...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Unknown vessel" buzzed the EBP through the comms. "Just tell us your name, proof of identity and the vehicle registration number. We can check our records from there and if all is verified, you'll be free to go."





Reggie looked up at the vixen, and narrowed his eyes.
"Well, It's fine to have your secrets, but I'm sure what your father did was very noble, or at least impressive." The door at the end of the cargo bay swung open, and the snake strolled out, wiping his hands. Reggie stood up looked over with stern eyes demanding an answer. The snake wasn't smiling, and nodded over at the boy. "Hey kid," he said, with a serious tone in his laconic voice. His eyes were sharp. "You best come with me to the medbay." His stare shifted to Reggie, but he continued to talk to the boy. "Our friend had some serious bacteria in his wound, and you might do too."
