At the exact moment he came in contact with the mysterious gear, it changed his body from a Human to a Dragon in an instant. "I never had this in mind! This is better than I had hoped for, I feel incredible!"

[Renaud Magicpaw]

"Well I told you that it felt good."  I say notting sagely.

{[God, I hope they don't bardge in here an kick me off the computer so they can go to sleep.]}

"Of all the time I speant avoiding these things... I could have been like this." He sniffed the air, he could smell fresh blood outside. He left to see who it was, and he followed the scent to their camp, and found Luke lying on the ground. "Those traps couldn't have done this kind of damage." He thought, looking at the deep wound in Luke's leg. "I'll take you back to my place." Quickly, he bandaged up his leg so the bleeding would stop, and carried him to his cabin. He layed him down on the sopha to rest.

[Renaud Magicpaw]

"Dang this isn't good, this isn't good at all." I say quickly makeing a small fire 'blade' at my finger tips before unraping the bandages and cauterizeing the wounds with the 'blade'.

gizor looked at the injured luke "what happened he asked" his scales going pure white

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"I don't know, I smelled blood, I think. I had this strange urge to find the source of the smell, and I found Luke with his leg all bloody. The traps at the dig site are not this effective, they might shock you a little, or tie you up in a net, but nothing like this."

trowa walked into the small town, she looked back at vosur "ok titan works should just be..." she said looking at the sky above the town, it was filled with smoke, like from a camp fire. a really big camp fire. trowa's eyes widened behind her mask. she sprinted to her home. please be ok she thought ferventgly. "that damned gear" she said to her self tearing down the streets not caring about anything other tthen getting to her home. trowa had found a gear after he mining incedent, her and her family had always lived there, her cousin used to be a miner, he brought a gear back from the mine and told us what they did. they kept it behind metal but someone could hae found it and decided to keep it. "please" she wispered, pure fear of what she would find fuled her muscles, propelling her on tward her home.

trowa rounded the bend and came across titan works full on fire smoldering to the ground, the towns fire department were already there, tryng to quell the flames. trowa ran up andd looked at a fighter "did u get inside" she =asked hurridly

"aggg" the fire man growled a hunge saint bernard "no the flames have a mind of their own, as soon as we put some out more pop up, not like a regular fire" he said through a thick accent "if this don't end soon we may run out of water, we might have to pull out"

trowa didn't waste time, she ran through the door into titan works, meeting a raging inferno. "DAD! GETT! WHERE ARE YOU" she yelled tearing though the rooms, the cloths she wore incenerated in the heat, her sword folded and melted, she discarded both with out a second thought, she was heating up fast also but she had to keep going. she pulled out her axe and used it to crash though a door and through a metal box. revealing the gear, she put on a heavy gauntlet and scooped it up, and deposited it in her back box. ane went on, she had searched the whole house and shop, no family. she cryed in the inferno, the heat cracking and shattering her glass mask, she slumped to the floor defeated, she had used up her oxygen and she was folding like her blade. she was out of time, and had failed "gett?" she asked falling over her eyes closing "where are you" she said as her eyes closed and the inferno raged higher.

luke slowly woke up as the fire heated his wound "wh-where am i?" he asked

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

While Gardus was watching Kora fix up Lukes leg, he could smell smoke, at first he didn't think much about it, it was just someones camp fire. He pointed his nose up in the air, sniffing the very strong smell of burning wood and chemicals. He turned the radio to the local news channel, and heard a report on 'Titan Works burning to the ground,' He remembered when he first met Trowa, and she said her last name was Titan. The news reporter on the radio said "The fires here at Titan Works are raging, firefighters are working as hard and as fast to put out the flames, but it seems there is more to it than just a fire. Local firefighters say 'The fires have a mind of their own.'" Gardus turned around when the report ended, and saw Luke wake up. "This is my cabin, remember? You're gonna be fine, can you tell us what happened to you?" Gardus didn't realise that Luke wouldn't recognise him now, Gardus turned around when the second report came in, "This just in. As firefighters push against the flames, a local Mecha, now identified as 'Trowa Titan' has entered the burning building a few minutes ago, and hasn't come out since then." Gardus turned the radio off, he had to help put out the flames, and if possible, rescue Trowa from the building himself. "I'll be back." He would put on his forest fire survival uniform, but it would not fit him now. He stormed out of the cabin and made a flying leap after a short sprint. He flew like he had been doing it all his life, but now was not the time to have fun, he had to get to Titan Works. He saw the tower of smoke rise out from behind the trees, in a small town near the forest edge. He swept his wings to speed up, he would make it there in about a minute, if he was walking he would take longer than ten minutes to make it.

[Vosur Aekira]

Vosur pursued after Trowa, noticing the flames and following after her, intending to not let her go at it alone, though in this case the fire slowed him down as his senses were overwhelmed by the flames. "Crud, can't get past them and I have no gear to survive such a blaze for very long... but no way am I going to just let her die in it." Firing the thrusters in his legs as he sped to the town, it wasn't long into the borders before he had to shield his face, only in just long enough to grab one person and get out the same way. He didn't know who he had or even if the person was conscious or alive, but when he finally reached a safe distance away, he landed and coughed repeatedly, trying to recover enough to attempt again when he could see again.

trowa coughed seeing sunlight she wiped her face as glass shards showered over her face. she felt tears welling up in her eye, she closed them to the sun and layed still, her body was half melted, she had to be careful, untill she cooled she could not rick moving. her mind was a torrent of sorrow and pain, both from her nearly molten body and the loss of her home, job family and life. she breathed in cool air in an attempt to cool her body down, but doing so caused a section of her stomach to fold in, the heat making it jellow like. she held in a yell of pain and grabbed the folded metal and pulled up and breathed out and let the metal slide back into place. she looked up at the world with out her visor and nearly shook with sorrow everybody is dead, gett? dad? niki? her mind rattled on as her body started to cool, but a lot of damage was done, folded metal was every where. she saw in her periferals that vosur was next to her, coughing violently. she closed her eyes i loose them, i almost die and he almost dies too, and the fireman, they could have died, all because of that damned gear she had taken it home after her cousin disapeared, and she had put it away, ppl knew about the gear there, they locked it in the closet on off days, but when ppl were in he shop it was behind thick glass/ plastic. it was broken from force applied. that ment some one had tried to get it, but couldn't find it so they torched the place. because of me every one is gone she squeezed her eyes closed even more to try to get rid of the images and thoughts in her mind.

Upon hearing the report and seeing Gradus run out the cabin, I begin to sprint toward the town.  Sounds like some one with the same powers as me has started a fire, I'm gonna have to put it out.  Falling behind Gradus I keep trying to catch up Uhhh we otters aren't made to run were swimmers not runners. Panting heavily I shout out "Go on ahead *panting* I'll catch up with *more panting* you later."

[Vosur Aekira]

After a few more seconds of coughing, he stood up and dumped some water from a canteen he had on himself before attempting again. His hearing was ringing from the sheer sounds of the thrusters while he moved, even his own yelling "Anyone out there?" to see if there was anyone conscious he couldn't hear, there was one individual who was fighting the flames, but was protected.... so Vosur moved on to find someone else as he knew Trowa had a reason to rush in and risk her life. Time was running out before he had to rush out again.

[PhantomStone]

trowa looked around, still resting in the dirt where vosur had left her. she looked around lamenting over what had happened, she gritted her teeth and rolled over, on her stomach she placed her hands shoulder width apart and pushed up till she could get her feet under her. she rose slowly, shaking with anger and rage. she was very slow tho in her pace to the burnt out ruins of titan works. the fire man had retreated almost out of water they doused the houses around titan works. the flames still burned. she grimaced and steeled her self for the run inside.
