Everflame 2 (FINISHED)

[KittKat chunky~]

Blaze fell silent, still twisting his tail around one paw in agitation.. He swallowed, looking up at the Snake... "That.... uh... That doesnt sound good..." Annie inadvertently held herself closer to Reggie, one hand on her chest in shock... She spluttered, looking from the Blaze to the snake... "But zou can treat it right?... She clenched the other hand into a fist and back again repeatedly, tail flicking in a mixture of anger and worry...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

His lips flickered and curled into a smile.
"Yeah," he said. His voice was loose and laconic. "I can treat it, but the infection is designed to be resilient. It's not an easy thing to do." Reggie gripped a bit too tight onto Annie.
"What about Jaack?" The snake turned to the rabbit, who lay unconscious under a white sheet. His ears poked out the top, twitching in his sleep. The snake lost his smile, turning to a grimace.
"I've helped him out and he should be okay, but I'll be honest, dude. He's in real danger." Reggie gritted his teeth, and his deep voice rumbling with agitation.

Chronin nodded as he lead his group down the street, and it was all rather boring even with Tabby trying to pull him towards random resturaunts. However, that changed when they made a turn towards their start on Spencer road and there were about seven to nine thug-like characters just sitting at the corner apparently just waiting for them to pass through as one saw Chronin and alerted the others around him. Chronin's hair was almost pointing straight up when he saw the thugs getting near with an assortment of melee class weapons. "Looks like we've got trouble expecting us." he mumbled as he motioned for the squad to be ready for a brawl since he already expected Tabby to be ready-to-go...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Tabby had a heavy grin, and her tail swung from side to side. She nodded to the rest of the group, who put their hands on their truncheons ready to whip them out. Tabby stepped forward, swinging her hips.
"'Sup lads, how's it going?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Some stopped at the sight of Tabby's strutting, but the others pulled them away so they could focus on Chronin. "Two broken arms and a fractured skull, ring any bells?!" a human with a mohawk yelled, holding a rather spiky chain in his hand. Chronin cupped his chin and looked at the group "That could be anybody... maybe a disloacted arm or a momentarily broken neck?" he said as his eyes went towards the human with a smug grin on his face. "Oh, its on..." the human mumbled before taking a swing at Chronin, who actually grabbed the chain and let it wrap around his reinforced sleeve before kneeing him in the gut, kicking him over, and breaking his left thigh with a stomp before pulling the bottom half of the leg way up and past its stretching point, making the same human scream in pain. "There, add a broken thigh and dislocated calf joint to the list... and the rest of you get lost before the other patrol has to clean you off the floor!" A fox with a shiv tried to take a swing in payback, but Chronin flipped him mid-swing and pulled the knife out of his hand before he even hit the ground. "Must I repeat myself!?" he growled before two other gang-bangers got the human away, and the fox slowly got up before bolting. The rest just backed away slowly as he put a hand on Tabby's shoulder. "How come they got a show but I didn't?" he calmly replied with a grin while getting ready to block an imminent attack from her...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Tabby spun and sent a kick flying at Chronin. She faked a frown, barely concealing her smirk.
"What kind of team leadership was that?" she said, pointing to the grumbling squad who had watched Chronin dispatch the criminals on his own. "And it seemed like they knew you, like you're a magnet for crime!" The facade completely fell, revealing an unashamed toothy grin. She walked up next to him, looking up at his reptilian face, and smacked him beneath his tail. "And if you want a show, you just have to ask, but not in the middle of the street."

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie winced slightly, as Reggie squeezed her shoulder tightly... If she hadnt been so worried about Blaze, she would have taken the time to notice that he was very strong, Rivaling Kate... And she hadnt exactly been a weak little kitty... Annie looked back up at the snake from Blaze... "Just do the best you can... The names Annie Yantova..."

Blaze meanwhile worried about death... Most notably, his own death...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The snake nodded to her.
"David Ashavé," he said, and then opened one of his cupboards, picking out a small vial. he stuck a cyringe through the top and pulled back the plunger, filling it with the vials clear fluid. Removing the cyringe, he tapped it and squirted a bit out to test it. "I'm going to give you a little medicine, okay kid?" he said, glancing to Blaze. "Take off that spacesuit and give me your arm."

Reggie noticed his grip on Annie, and let go of her, keeping his arm behind him, murmuring, "Sorry," to her. He looked over the rabbit, licked his teeth, and then lightly bit his tongue.

Kitt ran full speed to the indicated tower. As he reached the base he looked up at it and recalled Seema's instructions. 'Shes nuts.' Kitt thought to himself as he started up the side of the tower. His hands expertly finding the holds weathered into the side of the structure at an allarming rate. The climb itself was not bad unless you counted the fact that about a hundred feet up the winds picked up and threatened to do their best to dislodge him from his climb. "Should have taken the stairs." Kitt said aloud even though he knew he wanted the challenge. He laughed as he topped the building at seventeen minutes flat. "Hey Seema, I thought you said twenty minutes?" Oh well time for the jump."
Kitt stepped back a few paces and took a few very deep breaths to calm his nerves before running to the side and executing a gainer before plumeting towards the ground feet first. Just before he hit the ground he braced for impact.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

As he climbed, Seema laughed at his comments, and applauded when his twenty minute timer stopped at 17. "Well done, now for the hard part." She held her breath as Kitt's feet left the building, and he plummeted to the ground.

When Kitt eventually regained consciousness, he was encased in a transparent tube. Around him, doctors milled and shuffled. The tables were covered in electronics and robotics, including his shattered limbs.

[KittKat chunky~]

Blaze started the rasonably quick process of taking of his suit. It, like most Mechanicus equipment, was built to be both modular and ´flat-packable´. After a couple of minutes he had stripped down to his dark red fatigues, which unlike Annie´s where short-sleeved and ´artfully´ ripped and torn, as well as adorned with tags buckles and badges. He proffered one forearm, hoping in earnest that was where the Snake needed to stick the needle...

Annie meanwhile nodded a greeting to the Snake, half-smiling. She looked up as Reggie let go of her, murmuring equally quietly back "No worries... And i hope your friend pulls through..." She put a tentative arm around him, looking across at the rabbit Jaack... She bit her lip and sighed...

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin was trying to hide a blush as his hair completely fell flat at the tail-smack, but it rose right back up and he tried to look away. "My officer thought it was funny to stick someone who didn't "show discipline" to lead a squad of the apparent disposition. As for the 'crime magnet', I usually forget to bring hand-cuffs; so I learned to quickly perform what you just saw..." He took a deep breath and looked over to his 'squad' with a level tone in his voice. "You know heard the lady, you guys are taking point while I keep lookout..." some of them groaned, but they all followed the order and made their way towards Flathead as Chronin was close behind, keeping his left arm up and behind his neck, unconsiously showing to Tabby that the damage of the spikes as he tried to keep the bloodflow of that area to a minimum. Hopefully that chain wasn't rusted when it got in. Would really hate to report to the infirmary after only the first mission on the squad...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Feeling Annie's arm around him, Reggie looked down to her, put his arm back where it was, and began stroking her arm; partly to comfort her, but also himself.

David grabbed Blaze's arm, and pressed his thumb along it, finding a vein. He smirked he found one, stuck the needle in, and pressed the plunger, shooting the drug into the boy's bloodstream.
"This'll help with the infection, but it's not a cure and you'll still be in a lot of pain." He patted the empty bed. "Rest here, and I'll take everyone to the best doctors available to people like us." He headed out of the room, gave a glance and a grin at Reggie and Annie, before sidling past them. "It'll take a day or two, so you newcomers best make yourself comfy; except for the boy. He'll be begging for comfort." His smile disappeared as he  paused on the stairs. His tongue flicked in the air, and he headed off into the ship.

Reggie shook his head as the snake disappeared.
"Sorry about him," he said. "We don't have him around for his bedside manner." He growled under his breath, then pulled away from Annie, walking to Jaack's side and pulling back the cloth to see his friend's sunken, shivering face. Reggie gripped the bed, and his growling grew. "I hate it when this happens."





Tabby reached into her black top and pulled out some cuffs.
"Take mine; you can put them to more professional use than I normally do." She smiled and walked along with Chronin as the group set off again for Flathead Street. She looked up at him, watching blood trickle down his arm. She gave a slight frown, before softening up, with an honest smile at his resilience. She kept quiet, but walked closer by him.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"Thanks... hopefully I'll get to use them before the habit kicks in..." he said as his right arm plucked the cuffs and put them in the pocket of the vest thats under his coat. He made note of more gangs, but it was odd... they all just sat there, staying away from pedestrians and 'easy targets' while just staring at him and the group. "Get in contact with the second squad, we might be running into more trouble soon... hopefully they weren't here when Thread combed this area" he said rather quietly to Tabby, keeping his right hand close to the rifle just in case...

[KittKat chunky~]

Blaze sat down on the bed, leaning against the wall it was built into and sighed. He looked across at Jaack, and briefly shuddered, chances are he'd soon be like that... He folded his arms across his chest, and sighed again, running one thumb back and forth across the largest badge on his fatigues. It was a bright gold and silver pair of wings, emblazoned with the words "MARINE CORE"...

Annie smiled as Reggie stroked her arm, a smile that quickly turned to a light frown as he walked over to Jaack and pulled back the covers... She walked up just behind Reggie, but didnt try to put her arm around him, instead she sat down beside her son and hugged him close ...
