The Place where the Heavens break.....

[Arke]

He follows closely behind, only now becoming aware of the large rip in his shirt. "Bowman, sir. Marksman First Class with the volunteer division." He takes a few deep breaths, a breakdown in front of a superior officer being about the last thing he needed. Sitting in the back of this less wrecked jeep, he tells of how he scrambled down the tower after calling in the reinforcements, hot wiring the jeep and trying to order the soldiers moving his way back, and finally of being caught in the airstrike. "...and then they just flipped it over."

[Dr. Strange]

She noticed the sounds of battle as she neared the end of the trail, dragging the fallen pine behind her. "What the--?" She started, hazel eyes widening at the red light pouring out of the sky. "What in Selene's name is going on?" She swore, kicking up her pace a notch as she ran into the town. She found Watchtower four and left the pine at the edge, moving to investigate the ruins. "Holy..." She clamped her mouth shut and pulled up a handful of dirt, smelling it. "Who brought them here?"

[scarypuppy]

Uhuros buzzed once again with life, a reclamation force along with civilians willing to move back into the city were at work restoring the city, the outer edges of the forrests where being tortched, making it easier to clear the trees to form a wider perimeter. Several buildings were converted into a military headquarters, with soldiers and scientists rushing out every moment. within the defended building, a single monitor screen shown, in brilliant blue letters, the phrase the beast's apparent master had said, "ehe'sh Nufulr Fuur"

[Dr. Strange]

Ceri let the dirt sift through her fingers, looking around to gage the damage. "Oy vai..." Cursing softly, she straightened up to walk into the area of wall that still stood. The smell of wet dirt, sweat, and blood mixing to bring a pleasant odor to her delicate nose. She smiled, she missed that smell sometimes. Noting the jeeps driving around, she carefully picked her way towards one that was idle, aiming for the soldier walking up to it. "Excuse me, but what happened?" Her scent was that of crushed leaves and wet soil.

[scarypuppy]

the soldier seemed startled by this person of the woods, blinking several times, "oh...ah, we had a massive assault, its been all over the Civil safety announcements, havent you heard?" the soldier shook his head and continued on his way, looking over his shoulder occasionally

[Dr. Strange]

She looked puzzled for a second then it was gone. Smiling at him, she continued on to intercept Tezztor and Dave. "Good afternoon. I was wondering if I could help in some way?" Her thin dress fit her body nicely, accenting her curves and whispering softly in the breeze. Her brown hair hung in wisps to her back.

[Somebody]

Tezztor sat in the jeep, adjusting the electronic clipboard to give written orders before they left. "Seems like a bad situation all over, glad you could make it out alive. We need every soldier we can get right..." he trailed off as he saw a civilian running torward the jeep. The guard outside the jeep and one in the passanger seat drew their weapons. "This is a military zone civilian, stay where you are." he ordered as he jumped out of the jeep. "There is a lockdown, no civilian is to leave their homes." The general couldn't help but wonder why and how a forester ended up in a military base.

[Dr. Strange]

Ceri stopped, frowning. "I am no threat. I came to offer my services but seeing as you obviously don't want them, I will leave. You can find me in the forest out here. Call the name Ceri at dawn and I will answer. Good bye." She turned and started walking away, a peaceful smile lighting her face.

[Somebody]

Tezztor glared at her. "Stop her!" he yelled. He then sighed. "Did you not hear what I said, civilianss are to remain at home." He turned to a guard. "Put her in the truck" He looked around then jumped back in the jeep. He looked at her then back at Bowman. "Ssoldier I re assign you to accompany me for the time being. I hope are as good with a weapon as you are at evading the enemy."

[Arke]

Arke clutches the sub machinegun, his gave fixed on the seat in front of him. "I shoot to kill, sir. And in my defense, a bolt-action rifle is hardly appropriate for fighting a flood of enemies." He reached back to his replacement rifle, ejected the magazine, and made sure he had loaded it. 20 rounds, all good shells. He jams the mag back into the gun.

[Dr. Strange]

The frown on her face deepened as he uttered the commands. She turned lightning quick and shoved the closest guard away with a snarl. "And for those of us without homes?" She growled, her beautiful features twisted into a frightening mask of rage and sorrow. "I have no home to return to because of your inability to protect your citizens. Therefore, I have come to provide an extra pair of arms, assisting in making your forces stronger. You don't need my help, fine. But you will NOT treat me like some specimen to be thrown in a lab and studied. Got it, Lizard?' She spat vehemently, tossing her hair out of her face. She looked at Dave and a brief smile lit her features again. "I'll talk to you when ignorance isn't so unbearable."

[scarypuppy]

The morning light shined unbearably bright in contrast to the destruction along the road to Uhuros, Military vehicles and Scientific tents littering the sides of the road. the Truck rumbled along loudly, catching every stone and pot hole along the dried out stretch of earth, the trees on either side seeming as if they were receding, suddenly, a call through the radio, "Sir....we....have....something.....in Uhuros, I think its one of the creatures...but.....Sir just hurry!"

[Dr. Strange]

"You're all the same, no respect whatsoever to anyone lower than yourselves in rank. I've got more power in a fingernail than you've got in your entire body, Reptile." She hissed under her breath, walking away at a brisk trot. She picked up the pine at Watchtower 4 and made her way back to the forest to think about what was going on.

[Somebody]

The general sighed, clearly disappointed. "Do what you gotta do" he said as he orders the driver to make haste to Uhuros. He picks up the radio and gives a order, "If she returns to the base, shoot her" He gave the order with a chilling coolness, more aggrivated at her attitude then anything. Along the way military vehicles could be seen rushing off in this and that direction, soldiers patrolling and arguing with citizens and attack choppers surveying  the towns.

[Dr. Strange]

In her haste, she soon forgot the reptile's reaction to her and focused on the task she'd been given before she deserted her family. "You've got one big mess to clean up, Ceriyus. Don't screw up this time." She muttered, leaning back against the weeping willow.
