Name: Xieress
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Type of Energy Being: Yellow shapeshifting.
Personality: Defensive, easily angered and very forward. Never lies or hides what he's feeling.
History:
Xieress has a problem.
He's a shapeshifter that cannot shapeshift. In a way. All he manages is turning into black vapor. This caused him to be shunned by all those around him, even his family. Angry, bitter and lonely, this left him vulnerable to be manipulated by the Evil, who promised him that he would make all energy beings pay for how they treated him.
Side: Evil
Thanks, P-Girl. I think I'm going to have Marty as the leader for the Energiers (I'm too young) and I need someone to be a leader for the Evil. P-Girl, I really like your history thingy.
And if you want to be part of the Evil, you don't have to be an energy being. Just write what you are and what you look like, if you're not an energy being.
If you want, I can try and play the Evil (It will be my first time playing a big bad, tough, so I can't promise I'll be good.)
I'd like to keep my character like this... for now. Maybe some later revelations... but I don't want to spoil that just yet.
I am up for being the leader
@Marty thanks! And I think I'll be the leader for a while then I'll die. Is that all right with you?
@P-Girl I'm thinking more of a brat, as the successor of the big bad meanie.
So, one more Evil and we can start pretty much. We would still be accepting after that, folks!
Yes thats ok.
Not many people role play on this site anymore, so how many more people we can get is debatable
How many can, Marty?
I don't know who else will want to get involved
That sucks. Change of plans, you guys have to have 2 characters one on Evil and Energiers. But if you don't want to I don't mind, and we will start in this post.

Side: Evil
The Elder of the Energiers was saying a prayer of protection when lightning struck at the Elder. Leila panicked. Some people noticed but not all. They continued to chant the prayer. "Amen," they ended. The Elder was supposed to say something, but as you know the Elder was struck by lightning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leila looked around for the source of lightning, but to her dismay it was clear blue sky. Martina, the Elder's successor should do a good job, she thought.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Red looked at the dismayed crowd from his invisible ship. All the people who saw the Elder die were upset, others were clueless and some were crying. He smirked to himself. The Master has good accuracy, he thought to himself in his sabre tooth tiger form.
Martina noticed the lightning as soon as it hit. She immediatly got up and looked around seeing no one obvious who could do the attack. "Everyone get to shelter!" she shouted fearful of more attacks. Yes she was sad but the time for greaving was later.

Side: Good
Xieress just watched on, bored.
"I could've done that." He said, leaning his face against his hand, sitting down next to Red. "Sneak up. Slit his throat. Done. And nobody would be none the wiser."
Red smirked. "Yeah, that's one way of doing it, I'm Red, I haven't seen you before," Red replied to Xieress.
------------------------------------------
Leila walked over to the dead body of the Elder.Oh, what should we do now, she thought. She put her head down in depression.
"Xieress." Xieress said, not moving from his position. "Kinda surprised you haven't seen me before. I'm probably one of the best we've got." He bragged, smirking.
(Is my other character in)
Martina seeing people were heading her words she walked over to Leila still looking around for other attacks "Come lets get to safety" she said putting her arm around her
((I'm going to assume they are.))
"Excuse me...." Chen said, looking at the people around panicking. "This sort of behavior is counterproductive if we want to find who is responsible." He tried, to no avail.
((Yeah, your both in, so sorry))
"Okay, Martina," Leila walks with Martina. Then she stopped. "Chen! What does counter-counter whatever that word is mean?" Leila asked standing where she stopped.
------------------------------------------------
"Deadly demons!" Red yelled and jumping quickly from the side. "Sorry. Just hate silver energy beings the most. A whole flock of them just passed," Red explained pointing his claw out the window.
"Counterproductive." Chen repeated himself, making it up to the other two. "NOT productive." He explained, before sighing. "Being productive means doing something worthwhile." He added.
==========================
"Sheesh, calm down." Xieress told Red. "It's not as if they can hurt you, right?"
Martina knew full well what Chen was talking about "lets get the innocent to safety. Then we need to find the people responsible and bring them to justice" she told them hoping to to get Leila doing something to keep her mind off the elder
-----------------------------------------------
Mike was just watching as he created a bit of ice on the floor watching people running around falling over and desperatly tring to get grip to keep running. He was having a great time
"Okay, Martina," Leila said, she transformed and started to make purple ivy grow to make a shelter unless any other lightning was created.
---------------------------
"You're right, sorry really hate silver energy beings," Red explained. He detransformed into a human and became unconscious falling on his back. Red's hair started to glow and an evil forcefield started to shape.
"Alright, everyone, CALM DOWN!" Chen tried again to calm the general public. "Panic will not solve this issue!"
=======================================
"Cheh, drama queen." Xieress said, rolling his eyes and getting up, wandering the ship.
Before crashing thanks to some random ice patch. "The hell!?"
Some of the Master's guards came running down the ship. "Sir Xieress! Sir Mike! Sir Red! The Master acquires your prescence!" Said one of the guards. "Master Xieress! The Master acquires your prescence," said one of the guards to Xieress who was lying on the ground. The Master's guards were colourblind so they only partially saw the ice that Xieress slipped on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Red still lay there unconscious but his mind was racing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Leila finally finished the shelter. "Come everyone! Here!" Leila shouted to the energy beings that felt helpless.
Mike just laughed as he headed over, he was having fun "it wasn't meant for you" he said regaining his composure
----------------------------------------
Martina helped to guide some of the scared people to shelter
"THen stop laughing." Xieress hissed at Mike, managing to get up. "Soon as I'm done, I'm going to make you pay for that." With that, he made his way to his master's chambers.
"You summoned me?" He asked, kneeling down with his head bowed.
Mike shook his head and followed him to the chambers also bowing.
"As a matter of fact, I did. I need all three of you to be present. Could one of you find him, immediately," The master replied.
------------
I'm just going to fast forward a couple of minutes.
Leila watched the sky for a few minutes. Sure that no lightning would strike she detransformed and told everyone was in the clear. Leila asked Martina if she was okay with the responsibility of becoming leader of the Energiers.
"Fine." XIeress said, huffing and heading back to where he left Red. "Yo, didn't you hear them?" He called, kicking Red. "Master wants to see us."
==================================
"Isn't she a bit young for the position?" Chen asked, slightly confused. "It's an elder's job."
"Well technically anyone is good for the job, if they're up for it and would be obliged," Leila replied to Chen.
-------------
Red felt it but laid their motionless. After a couple of seconds, he automatically transformed and said what happened.
"Yeah, sure, whatever. Did you hear what I said?" Xieress said, pointing. "Master wants to see us. NOW."
============================================
"But for the needed experience, somebody this young is not a good idea." Chen protested.
"I am up for taking on the role. Though Chen is right" Martina said nervous about all her new responsibility
__________________________
Mike waited for the other two to come back as he did not know where he was and didn't actually care either
"I guess. If you want the job just say, Martina would decide," Leila replied.
------------------
"Okay," Red replied still feeling like in another world. Red pounced to the master's chambers and bowed his head under the Master.
Chen opened his mouth to say something in protest, but just closed it again and bowed his head.
"If that is your choice..." He softly said.
=========================================================
Xieress just sighed, following and heading back.
"What do you wish from us, Master?" He asked, again kneeling.
"I need a small elite team ( lol copied that from Avatar) to scour the Energiers lands and be undetected by their surveillance teams. So I have watched your training and think you are the appropriate Evils to do this. You have your own ship, Xieress in your backpack will be the keys. Xieress will pilot. Three backpacks one for each of you," the Master explained.
Red thanked and pounced to his backpack,.he took a tablet and transformed into his human form. Red waited outside the door for the other boys.
----------------
Leila skipped and twirled and stopped at her base camp. "Tell me in the morning, I'm tired," Leila yawned.
"Sweet!" Xieress said, grabbing the keys out of the backpack while grinning happily. "Have you guys seen those things? The speeds they can reach are amazing!"
======================================================
"H-how can you be so... flippant?" Chen asked Leila, shocked at her seemingly happy demeanor after the death of someone so important. "And this is more important then rest."
"Sorry, I didn't really notice that, my parents tell me to be optimistic all the time," Leila said.
--------------
"Of course, been here for ages, training centre, even got my pilot licence," Red replied.Red transformed and pounced to the flying dock.
"But this seems more like you don't seem to care about the situation." Chen said. "Which isn't good...."
==================================================================
"Way to ruin the mood." Xieress said, crossing his arms and following. "Party pooper...."
"Don't always look behind your shoulder," Leila replied, "look to the future."
-----------------
Red arrived at the flying dock, what number he asked.
"So you don't care....You expect those that are gone to be forgotten." Chen said, looking down. "We lost a great man today. He deserves to be remembered."
========================
"Twenty-six." Xieress answered.
((What sort of ships?))
((Pokemon Hunter J with the mix of red and black))
Red searched. "Twenties!" Red yelled, " Check over there." Red pointed his paw in the corner.
-----------
"No, I'm saying Don't be depressed," Leila said in an annoyed face.
"Alright!" Xieress said, using the keys to open the hatch. "All aboard the Grimm Jet!"
====================================================
"You can't tell people how they feel." Chen said. "Especially not after an event like this. You should allow people to grieve."
"I'm going to my tent," Leila said waving goodbye to her new acquaintances. She walked to her silver tent and prepared her tent.
----------
Red pounced onto the ship. It was ginormous. He bagged a room and placed his backpack next to the bed and ate another tablet and transformed again. He laid on the bed and started reading, Transforming without Transdying
"Would you please stick to one form?" Xieress demanded from Red, getting a bit annoyed.
=============================
Chen just looked down at his hand.
"Did I... say something wrong?" He asked, more to himself then anyone else.
Mike just took the backpack and followed. This seemed like a pain in the neck to him
------------------------------------------------------
Martina had been listening. She understood what Chen had said but she knew she had to do her best. "You didn't do anything wrong. I just think she doesn't know how to deal with such a big loss. Look at how she was until I got her to shelter" Martina said concerned.
"Do people usually.... change behavior on a whim like that?" Chen asked, still looking unsure.
"Not normally but its the only reason I can come up with as Leila was rather upset when it first happens" Martina said thinking about it carefully
"That just makes it stranger....." Chen said, scratching his head.
"I agree although for now the danger has passed, so if she has alone time it may well be for the best. I think its best to get are morning done now. Then look to counter this threat" Martina said as she really didn't know what to do about Leila
"I-I guess...." Chen said, still confused. "Things were so much easier at the monestary..."
"Sadly times are changeing and I fear things are about to get a lot more complicated" Martina warned
"Sadly times are changeing and I fear things are about to get a lot more complicated" Martina warned
"Not if we stop this." Chen said. "We have to... we have to stop whoever did this."
"Agreed we have to find out who did this and then find out what else they have planed. As that was most probably just the opening move" Martina said concerned about how quickly and how hard they could hit them
"All aboard?" Xieress asked, jumping into the pilot's seat and starting it up.
===============================================
"It is, this will be a difficult time." Chen said, before yawning.
Mike got in and sat down "lets get this show on the road"
------------------------------------------------------------
"So true. If your tired you should rest. As we will need your help with are investigations" Martina said
Leila went to bed.
----------------
Red soon finished his book and fell asleep with the book in his lap.
"As you wish." Chen said, bowing. Even if he disagreed, Martina was now their leader who should be obeyed. "Goodnight." With that, he went to his sleeping quarters.
=========================================
Grinning at Red, Xieress pressed a button and a loud honk could be heard troughout the ship.
Now that was something Mike enjoyed 'maybe it will not be that bad' he thought
--------------------------------
Martina a but surprise by all the formality, went over to the elder and said her good byes.
"Hey!" Red yelled. Red wasn't bothered to argue to someone who made up meaningless fights so he put earplugs into his ears and fell asleep one more time.
"How did you ever became this high ranked....?" Xieress just huffed at himself, starting the engines. "Falling asleep at the job... tsk, tsk."
Red woke up again. "Ever heard of sleeping at night," Red replied with his eyes closed, than yawning.
((He's not in the cockpit, he's in his own room.))
((Sorry. Didn't think it was that big a ship.))
"C'mon, we've only just left." Xieress said, slumping against the wheel.
=======================================
On his bed, Chen looked down. Social interactions weren't his strong suit. These people were... unfamiliar to him.
Red walked up to the communicator, he replied. "Look outside it's almost your bedtime too, but I'm having an early night." Red jumped onto the bed and fell asleep.
--------------
Leila was unsure about Chen, but he was alright, she slept soundly.
Mike shrugged "I decide when I sleep and not you" he told Red
---------------------------------------
Martina after saying her good byes went to her bed and sat down on it. Reflecting on all the changes that had happened
As soon as Mike replied, Red fell asleep. He was really tired.
---------
Leila slept.
"Sheesh, who does he think he is, our mom?" Xieress said, propping his feet against the wheel, leaning back. "As if he has that authority over me."
Red woke up he transformed and turned intoo his sabertooth tiger form and went to the training base. He practiced his back leg kicks and his claw pounces.
-----------
Leila still slept.
((.... You want a timeskip or something?))
Okay.
Leila woke up and practiced her energy orbs across the lake, ready if there was a battle today.
((If you say so....))
Chen woke up by the splashing of the water, for a minute thinking he was back at the monestary and they were already practicing their movements while he overslept. Panicking, I rushed outside.
"I'm up, I'm up!"
==========================================================================
"Sheesh, sleeping early yet not up before us?" Xieress said, stretching himself out. He had spent the night sleeping at the wheel. "Not only a mom, but a bad one at that."
((Actually hes already awake))
((And at the cockpit? Xieress didn't get out of the cockpit and is just being a jerk like he usually is.))
((He's at the Training Room.))
((Then Xieress' comment still stands.))
"Whatever, like I care." Xieress said, not moving from his spot. "What did our Master mean by 'Scour the lands' for our enemies? We know where they are. we could just send and army and BAM. Done." He asked to no one in particular.
"Chen! What's the matter?" Leila asking Chen why he ran to the lake in such a hurry,"are you alright?" With concern on her face.
----------------
Red pounced to the cockpit and asked Xieress "when are we landing?"
"I-I missed practice." Chen said, calming down, realising that he wasn't home anymore. "S-sorry."
===============================================================
"In a few minutes. Buckle up." Xieress said, initiating the landing sequence.
Mike woke up a bit bored "the soon this is over, the sooner the fun can begin" he commented
_______________________________
Martina who had not got to sleep until late was last up. Quietly she had a quick was and got changed before looking over the lake.
Red transformed and buckled up.
-----------------
Leila was astonished. "What practice? But if you want practice try skipping energy pebbles across the water, it helps with reflexes," Leila explained. Leila did an example making a purple pebble out of her hands and throwing it across the water.
((If your a blue energy being you make blue stuff instead of purple like my character.))
((Wasn't my power water-based?))
"No.... I'd rather stick to my monestary's practice." Chen said, raising his hands as the water underneath Leila's pebble rose. Making a slight pulling motion with his hands, the water slowly brought the pebble towards him.
=================================================================
"And do me a favor; keep one form for longer then two minutes." Xieress growled at Red, landing the vehicle.
(Yeah, but you have additional powers if you're an energy being)
"Whatever, now hurry up and land," Red complained.
------------
"Okay." Leila replied and continued making and throwing pebbles.
Xieress just huffed, landing the vehicle quite roughly, obviously angered.
==============================
"If you say so...." Chen said, taking the orb of water and changing it in various shapes.
"What's the hardest shape, you've ever done," Leila asked intrigued by Chen's way with water.
-----------
"Finally!" Red complained. He transformed and pounced out of the ship.
(( You say where we are, you're the one who flew it))
Mike sighed "don't break the ship" he told Xieress firmly
---------------------------------------
Martina headed over to Leila and Chen "Hi, up nice and early I see" she commented
"Hi, Martina," Leila said politely and bowed, "isn't today the ceremony?"
"I am not sure. I have been focusing on giving the elder a proper funeral" Martina said, she had not really been thinking about it.
Leila stopped bowing."I can help you, I have found very good attire for the clothing for both events," Leila said, "in the market."
"Ok, that would be great. The location and everything else will be in keeping with tradition. However with this threat I want to get it all done today or tommorow at the latest. So getting the message out quickly to everyone is something I will need help with. Security is going to be increased as the funeral will be a top target" Martina explained
"True, let's go to the Market we can spread the word there and shop for clothes," Leila said smiling at Martina.
((Where do we need to be?))
"Who's given the keys to this ship? Wasn't you." Xieress said.
=======================================
"I... think I'll manage with my own robes." Chen said, letting the water drop, seeing Leila didn't wait for his anwer.
"Chen, you haven't answered my question yet and do you want to come with us," Leila said.
((Probably, forest/woodlands))
((Didn't know Chen was a girl.))
"I-I have problems with sharp angles." He answered. "And no, I'd rather not. I have my robes and I feel there are more important matters then how we'd look in a ceremony."
===================================
"Whatever, we're here." Xieress said, heading out.
"It's the Elder's funeral, could you help spread the word," Leila said.
-------
"We should patrol the areas and see I'd there are any things we san do here," Red said, "you can do what you want, but I'm patrolling the area." Red pounced off to the forest.

"Of course." Chen said, bowing.
=====================
"Showoff." Xieress muttered, crossing his arms.
Mike just streched "well better get moving" he said casually. Plaining sounding uninterested
---------------------------------
Martina nodded "Ok you go to the market. I will sort out the funeral for tommorow at 1pm"
"Do you want me to get candles, Amber might light them for the funeral," Leila suggested.
---------------
Red pounced through the forest and found a base camp that didn't belong to the Energiers.
((Amber is a red energy being fire based.))
"Good idea" Martina said it was good to see people willing to help her. As she was unsure she would have people behind her after what Chen said
"I will do so right away." Chen said, bowing before heading to the village.
===========================================
"I'll take the high road." Xieress said, before going to the nearest tree and climbing it.
Martina headed off to the funeral directors. To get the process moving.
--------------------------------------------
Mike just wondered in the direction of the others, just taking the easiest route
Red investigated the camp and noticing no one was there he continued on the path he was taking. When he was about to he heard sounds coming from the nearby river. He pounced there and saw a girl with black hair sitting on the riverbank playing with a Brown bear cub.
------------
Leila did as she was told, she went to the market. She got ceremonial clothes for her and the elder's funeral. She also bought 102 candles as that is how many Energiers there are excluding the Elder.
Xieress made his way across the trees and managed to spot the girl before Red.
"And what do we have here?" He said, jumping from the trees right behind the girl. "Aren't you a little young to be playing with bear cubs so their mother might abandon them?"
"Yeah, that's what you think, I'm Velvet, what's the name of this rude one , Sabertooth Tiger," Velvet said looking away from the cub and looking straight at Red.
----------
Red ate a tablet and transformed, "I'm Red and this is Xieress, I see you have fangs," Red replied.
----------
"You're two creatures?! Cool!" Velvet said blinking suprised.
Mike came a bit later than Xieress "were not creatures, well apart from him" he said pointing at Red
------------------------------------------------
Martina was sorting out the funeral it was nearly all done
Leila brought around 15 bags to Martina and told her here are the candles, laying down 14 bags.
-------
"That's offensive!" Red snapped at Mike.
"Well, I technically like creatures better, like Honey here," Velevt said.
((Honey is the brown bear cub.))
"He isn't two creatures, he just has two forms." Xieress said, crossing his arms. "And won't stop shifting, showoff...."
"I just seem to be faster in my tiger form and I can talk in my human form," Red said like Xieress didn't know that, he rolled his eyes. He looked over to Velvet. "What are you doing here, Velvet?" Red asked in a polite voice.
"Don't you mock me!" Xieress yelled, taking the eyerolling completely wrong.
===============================================
"So, it is with great sadness, that I must announce the ceremony to say goodbye to our great leader...." Chen finished his speech at the marketplace.
"Xieress, please do not charge at him, I don't subject violence for just plain rudeness or meanness," Velvet implied that Red was being mean or rude someway. She looked him in the eye and smiled showing her vampire teeth in a cheery way, trying to calm Xieress down. This would be bad for Honey if things got to rough, she thought.
This was NOT the right way to stop Xieress once he was angry. In fact, it infuriated him.
"Why should I listen to you?! You're not even on the same side as me." He shouted. "You don't want me angry? Don't talk to me like you're the boss of me."
Martina as she took the bag "Thank you. Everything is now sorted, lets hope the message is getting out now"
--------------------------------------------------------
"I don't care what you say" Mike replied to Red
"I have only listen to my Master. And guess what? It's not any of you guys." Xieress said, pointing at those around him. "So don't even TRY."
Mike "I am not bossing you around. As long as you don't fly off without you can do what you like"
"Come on , Honey, let's go, let them fight without us," Velvet said to her bear. Velvet picked up Honey and went into the forest starting to walk to her camp. She took out a dagger from her belt and clenched it in her hand.
----------
"Okay, Martina, I'll be at my tent," Leila said as she walked to her tent.
"And don't come back." Xieress said, glad she was gone. "Seriously, the nerve on that girl."
=======================================================
"So, uhm... time and place are on these leaflets and.... may the Gods be with you all." Chen finished his speech.
Martina followed curious about how many people to expect tommorow. "One quick question. Did people indicate if they were likely to be able to make it?"
"Hello?" XIeress asked, shoving Red, who seemed to be totally frozen for some reason. "I'm talking to you."
((Hello?))
((Sorry been offline lately, went to camp.))
"Sorry," Red said, "what was your question?"
"That I don't like people acting like they can tell me what to do. Especially strangers like that girl and her fleaball that got away." Xieress repeated.
"Fleaball? Good name for it."
"Never mind." Xieress said, rubbing his head at Red completely missing the point. "Not far from here I saw an encampment. I say we strike."
"Now that sounds like a plan" Mike said steping foward
"When?" Red said remembering the camp he saw before.
"Right now." Xieress said. He wasn't one for waiting.
"Lead the way, I'll just be following," Red said as he was bored and needed a party to crash. He was in a depressed state that no one could shift him but himself.
"Sheesh, lazy, much?" Xieress said, before heading to the encampment." XIeress said, walking towards the camp.
Red followed in his human form.
Mike followed just behind Xieress ready for the fun to begin
Red transformed and sharpened his claws on a nearby rock.
-----------------
Leila went out of her tent and asked Martina when the funeral was starting what time tomorrow.
As they approached the camp, they could see a guard.
"This one's mine." Xieress said, before charging at the guard, flipping on his hands before he reached said guard and wrapping his legs around the neck, forcing him to the ground like that.
Red stealthily sneaked past the guard while Xieress distracted him. He could hear a faint murmur that sounded familiar. He went to the tent and saw her and her fleaball. Red got his claws out and she gother twin blades out. She strikes and he dodged. He strikes with his claw and she blocked. Red jumped over Velvet and charged at her back with his head. Velvet fell down. The Fleaball.jumped on Red's head protecting its mother. "What are you doing here!?" Velvet demanded.
"Isn't it obvious?" Xieress said, knocking out the guards and getting up via a backwards flip. "We're taking over."
"Fine," Velvet said, " if you want to burn the camp down, there are matches in there." Velvet pointed to a nearby house. "There are also a range of different weapons in there, from swords to shields to staffs. Now, I'll be packing up my stuff, come on Honey," Velvet said her black hair following her in a swaying motion.
"Why is there a house in a camp?" Xieress asked. "And I don't need matches or weapons to wreck the place."
((It's a actually a small shack))
"Just in case you need it to take over the world, like all the other evil bad guys," Velvet replied with no sign of malice.
"Yeah... because matches will be the key to planetary conquest." Xieress said, rolling his eyes. "Girl, we have waaaay better equipment then this place will ever have."
Martina turned to look at Leila "the funeral will start at 1pm" she told her. She then went back to working on a speach for the funeral
------------------------------------------------------------
Mike shook his head at the matches and looked at Velvet "why are you making it so easy for us? Well apart from trying to distroy a world with matches"
"Where?' Leila asked getting a motebook out writing: When: 1pm
Where:
What: Elders funeral
---------
"Matches, to burn the place down, I was getting tired of this place anyway," Velvet said. She went back to her tent got her black backpack that looked identical to the ones Red, Xieress and Mike had and walked out of the camp with Honey following two legged.
"She's not getting it, is she?" Xieress said, getting out his own lighter. "And that's just what I swiped. The flamethrowers were a mite too big."
Red scratched his head, he didn't get this girl, she was not on their team, yet she didn't act like she was on the other team."Do you know what type of camp this is, Xieress?" Red asked.
"I dunno. I'd figured it was for soldiers, but why's a kid at a military camp?" Xieress asked.
"This is military?! Probably, abandoned. I guess I never noticed so what do we destroy first?" Red asked getting his claws ready.
((Is it military? Your story. Your decision.))
"I say we start looking for the main boss around and work our way down." Xieress said. "Most people simply fall apart when they don't have orders to follow."
((I like your idea of military but its a Spys camp with military colours, it looks like a military camp.))
" I see, what should we do with this place?" Red asked Xieress and Mike.
((Okay.))
"What I just said. Find the general, kill him, and then work our way down." Xieress said.
"What should we do first? How are going to find the General, first of all."
-------
Since, Martina was far too busy, Leila decided to look for Chen.
"Shouldn't be too hard. Most generals seperate themselves from the other soldiers." Xieress said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chen, having just returned from spreading the word, leaned against a wall, sighing exhaustedly. He was not made for much social contact.
"Just a question what if Velvet was a general?" Red asked.
--------
Leila saw Chen. She hurried to him. "Chen, can you show me some tricks that I might be able to do?" Leila asked patiently and in a polite manner.
This just made Xieress burst out laughing.
"A little girl with a bearcub? Yeah, right." He said. "Generals of an army are AT LEAST eighteen years old."
=========================================
"I don't see how we have time for tricks." Chen said, again taken aback at how non-seriously she took this grave situation.
"No, I mean so we can get stronger,.because sharper things usually hurt more than blunt so I was wondering if you could help me," Leila said.
---------------
"Let's see, if I add up the fangs and the age look, I get around 125, more or less," Red calculated in his brain. He ate a tablet transformed into a human and sat on a nearby rock.
"I... can't help you with that." Chen said, looking down.
======================================
"Why would a general help us tear the place down?" Xieress asked. "But if you're really that worried, I'll just break her neck next time I see her. Just in case."
"Okay, that is true. Thinking she was a general is kind of crazy, now where are we going to start looking?" Red asked once more.
----------
"How come?" Leila asked.
Mike had been listening "I think we should kill her, I don't trust her. I also say we distroy this place and see who comes running"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Martina just before Leila left "The main church". She then went back to working on her speach
"Because we're not the same beings." Chen said. "My powers hail from water. Yours from nature."
==============================================================
"The runts will come running first, if these guys are any good. No, we need to search for the general." Xieress said.
"I like both ideas," Red said still sitting on the rock.
------------
"Okay, if your that sure," Leila said she started walking to the lake and when she arrived started meditating, trying to find her inner nature.
"I was trained to recognize various sorts of energies." Chen said. "I'm very sure of this."
======================================================
"Thank you, Solomon, that was a great help." Xieress said, rolling his eyes.
"See ya," Red said. He transformed and sprinted to the ship.
"Sheesh, you'd think he'd be used to it by now. Oh well, let's start finding that general and kill him." Xieress said, shrugging.
================================================
"O-of course, you don't seem.... interested...." Chen said, sighing as Leila left before he could answer her question.
"Don't worry, I heard you" Leila said 3 metres away from Chen. She got a pebble and threw it across the water, it almost reach the other bank. But when the pebble dropped there was a big thud that could heard across the camp.
"Huh, you'd think there would be a 'Splash', not a 'Thud'...." Chen wondered.
Leila was really shocked, she was sure that the thud didn't come from her. She walked around the lake and kneeled at the area where the pebble dropped and inspected the water.
Chen didn't feel like walking around the lake, as he just split the lake in half and walked towards where the pebble had landed.
Mike shook his head "Lets get to it. Hes just going to be a pain in the neck"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martina put her speach in her back pocket and headed out. She wanted to see Chen to see how things were going.
Leila looked closer. "Woah-oh!" Leila yelled. She used her arms for balance. Splash! Leila ell into the water. Leila was unconscious going deeper and deeper into the water.
Except there wasn't any water there since Chen pulled it aside. She just fell on the floor next to him.
"I'm right here, you know? Please don't ignore me." Chen said.
((Sorry didn't know what you meant))
"Ouchie, my head. What's that?" pointing to the thing next to the pebble which was black sphere.
"I... I don't know...." Chen said, carefully reaching for the thing, trying to read it's energy.
==================================================
"Alright then, let's get cracking." Xieress said, walking trough the camp, trying to find the commander's tent. "Usually they stand on a hill or something...."
Leila crawled over to the black sphere and stood up when she arrived and brushed off dirt off her dress. Leila turned it over and saw an inch/2.5 centimetres of rope coming out if the black sphere."It's a-a," Leila could only manage to say.
"What is it?" Chen asked, arm still outstretched, now almost touching the orb.
"BOMB!!!" Leila finished her sentence. Sone people around the lake started panicking and screaming. Leila started to get really scared.
Chen wasted no time in surrounding the bomb with the lake's water, before starting to lower the temperature of the water to subzero degrees, freezing it.
Leila jumped out of the lakebed and watched while Chen started to freeze the bomb.
----------
Velvet saw what was happening and sneaked into Martina's tent placing an envelope inside and quickly sneaking off.
After Chen felt like the layer around the bomb was thick enough, he used the rest of the water in the lake to propel the bomb high into the air, hoping it would explode harmlessly into the sky.
Martina headed over "whats going on?" she asked
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike started hunting the commander as well
"Bomb." Chen said, as he tried really hard not to just let all the lake water just fall down on them.
Martina looked up at the bomb "What can you tell me about it as we need to distroy it"
"Well, it was black. Currently frozen to halt whatever countdown it might be on and.... shot into the air." Chen said, pointing up. "I was hoping for the explosion to happen harmlessly into the air."
"Well that sounds like a good plan, better safe than sorry" Martina said looking at the bomb, her fears about this escalating could be coming true
Leila braced for the huge explosion. Then something dinged in her mind. The rope wasn't burning."Hey! Chen, the bomb's not going to explode, nobody's light it yet, false alarm. We have to analyze it and find out where it came from," Leila said to the focusing Chen and Martina.
"Uhm, okay...." Chen said as the bomb bounced next to him, still encapsulated in ice. "There it is."
'I think we should keep it in high security to make sure no one lights it."
Martina walked over to the bomb studying it for a minute. "It most probably safe at the moment but we need to carry out a controled explosion as soon as possible. As we have no idea how powerful this bomb is and having it around is a security risk" Martina said before looking at the lake
"She's right. If it's exploded, it poses no more risk." Chen said. "I could launch it again, if you wish."
(Martina is female)
Martina looked at the bomb "before you do that. I want to go and check the rest of the lake for any more bombs. Have you check any where else in the lake?"
"Not really...." Chen said, rubbing the back of his head.
Martina turned to face the water "right I will be back in a bit" and with that she headed into the water while doing a spell so she could breath under water. She was soon submerged and searching the bottom of the lake.
"Uhm....." Chen said, as he simply moved the water away from the bottom. "Isn't this easier?"
"Yes. Thank you" Martina said now standing up. She couldn't see any other bombs as she wondered around. Martina walked out of the lake "looks like that is the only one in the lake"
"True that, but how did it get into the lake without making a splash?" Leila asked.
"Lowering it in slowly?" Chen said, tilting his head a bit. "It's really not that difficult to place something in water without it making a splash."
"How could it do it? Don't we have night patrol?"
"Patrols can miss things. Nobody's perfect." Chen said. "And remember, this foe knows what it's doing."
=======================================
"We are so lost." Xieress said out loud.
"True, nobody's perfect. We all at least have to try our best. When I first looked at it, there was no insignia. I think it's just a normal bomb."
"Why would a person put their insignia on a bomb? That's just asking to get caught." Chen asked.
"No, I'm saying we can find out who made the bomb, so we can trace to who sent it here," Leila explained.
"Isn't it obvious? I mean, how many factions are we at war with?" Chen asked.
"Yes. I see what you mean. But why would they put a non-activated bomb in the middle of the lake."
((I should seriously name this lake, any ideas?))
"Maybe to detonate it later?" Chen asked.
((How 'bout Lake Lidinje?))
"An insignia on a bomb would be pointless as once it explodes no one can put it back together again. A patrol must have missed it. They must have left it there for either a later attack or dropped it" Martina said
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well lets just flatten the camp and move on then" Mike said as he was getting no where either
((What does Lidjine mean?))
"True, but its technically not an insignia its more like a trademark."
((It's a lake in Bosnia))
"Still; why?" Chen asked.
"Copyright?!"
"This is a war. I doubt that will be their main focus. Also, you can't copyright explosives." Chen said.
"These days, there are many bomb providers."
"And most only care for money." Chen said. "They don't care if they're copied."
"Also all bombs are very similar" Martina said
"Okay. Then how can we get information from the bomb."
"I don't think we can, so lets just blow it up safely" Martina said looking around to how close everyone else was
"Why do we need information? We have only one enemy." Chen asked.
"I'm not entirely sure anymore. The Evil wouldn't secretly place a bomb in Lake Serenity. They would probably just bomb the campsite from the sky not secretly."
"Maybe so.... But we can't rule out that they did it. We don't have a mainline in their strategies." Chen said.
"Yes, I'm just saying this could have been a diversion to distract something from something."
"Like what?" Chen asked, confused. "There's nothing of value here."
"What about someone from someone instead of something."
"Then I repeat myself; there's nothing of value here." Chen simply said. "That might be cold, but true."
((Goodnight, from where I'm from its time to be tired. Night.))
"No not stealing something Inanimate, some feeling like leadership or pride. That's technically a valuable advantage for the Enemy."
"How could a bomb exploding in a lake harm our pride?" Chen asked.
((Last one for the day.))
"No, I'm thinking the bomb was a diversion, it wasn't lit. It couldn't have done any real damage."
"Then why did they want us here?" Chen asked.
"They probably wanted us to be away something."
"well they already killed are leader. Yesterday I wonder if they were planning to disrupt the funeral. Whatever the plan we must distroy that bomb and make sure they do not succeed with any other plans" Martina siad
"Geez, am I the only one who takes this mission seriously?" Xieress said, crossing his arms.
"I am taking it seriously I was telling you two my theory behind why it is here. Anyway lets get on with distroying the bomb safely" Martina said
((That was Xieress the guy on the other team.))
"Okay, Martina. Why don't you and Chen destroy it? I'm really tired. I'm going to call it a day." Leila started to walk to her tent nit waiting for any answer. It was already dark.
-------
By the time, Red had arrived at his room it was already dark. He pounced to the training room, kicking the punching bags with his forelegs.
((Yup.))
"I mean come on. You're not even talking to me." Xieress said. "Next time, I hope my master sends me on a solo mission."
=============================================================================
"She really needs to learn priorities." Chen said, sighing.
Leila in her tent wasn't even sleeping. She was reading about the Legends and Folktales of the Evil. Suprisingly all she found was that the Evil's first leader was ruthless and that would continue happening through his bloodline.
(my mistake)
"Yep but first things first. I was thinking the best way to deal with the bomb was to light it put it in an air bubble and explode it under water" Martina said looking around the lake for other people
Leila walked out of her tent and watched the stars. Shutting her ears bracing for the explosion.
"Why air?" Chen asked.
-----------------------------
"Stupid people and their stupid ignoring...." Xieress said, now making his way trough the camp alone as his other partner seemed to have vanished.
"well fire needs oxygen to burn" Martina explained
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am still here and I am not ignoring you" Mike said looking at Xieress
Red kept on practicing also known as training.
"But wouldn't that make the explosion more dangerous?" Chen asked.
================================
"Then why aren't you talking to me?" Xieress asked.
Leila could not fight the urge anymore. She walked up to where Lake Serenity was and found Martina and Chen discussing a way to destroy the bomb.
Martina "well the water surounding should hopefully reduce the explosion. However we cannot get the fuse to burn without air"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mike "well I surgested just distroying the place"
Leila heard what Martina was saying. Leila ran up to Martina and said "don't destroy the lake it is sacred."
"it won't distroy it" Martina told Leila
"What gave you that idea?" Chen said. "I already told you I can launch it in the air where it will explode harmlessly.
===========================================
"Sorry, my powers don't reach that far. Gotta do it one by one." Xieress said.
"We can do that then. I just worry that it the wind picks up it could problems" Martina said
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"One by one is good. It will also leave a good message for that woman as well" Mike said he was looking foward to this
"Phew, you're not destroying the bomb using the lake."
"Maybe some water from the lake, but I can do it with another body of water if you prefer." Chen said.
======================================================
"Whatever." Xieress said, as he saw a tent on top of a hill, seperated from the others. "Found our leader." He said.
"As long as you don't destroy the complete lake, I'm happy," Leila said smiling.
"What sort of people do you take us for?" Chen said, hurt that she taught they were capable of such things.
"Right, I will go get some matches then" Martina said heading back to her room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good, now lets go say hi" Mike said walking up the hill
"I don't mean destroy destroy, I mean explode all the water into the air and reshape the lake destroy."
Martina grabbed a match box noticing the letter on her table, she picked it up and put it in her back pocket.
"I'll be Ignoring you until the deed is done." Chen said. "That made me feel bad AND confused."
==================================================================
"Got something sharp?" Xieress asked. "I can get in, slit his throat and get out."
Martina returned doing a final look around for people who could get hurt "I have got the matches. Tell me when you are ready for me to light the fuse Chen"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike took out of his back pocket a dagger "here" he said offering it to Xieress
"Okay."
"Do it." Chen said, ready.
================================
"Thank you. This will only take a moment." Xieress said, folding his hands together before he shifted into black smoke and made his way to the tent.
Martina lit the fuse and stood back
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike simply nodded
((Technically, the rest of the camp have already evacuated to the next camp and Velvet and her personal guard were the only ones there. P.S. Velvet is the general.))
Leila watched as the bomb was being lit.
--------
Red pounced back to the Army camp and came just in time to see Xieress turn into black smoke.
((Could've used that information sooner.....))
"Alright, one, two....." And with that, Chen made a large gesture with his arms, putting all his power behind a geiser-like blast of water that launched the bomb far higher then before.
====================================================================
The fog that Xieress now was crawled into the tent, looking for his target.
Red braced for the scream.
-------
Leila watched as the bomb flew into the air using the power of water. Interesting, Leila thought.
Martina watched still looking around for other people comming too near.
Leila watched the bomb go higher and higher.
-----
Red just waited impatiently.
((Is she inside or not? Also, what's going to happen with the bomb? Your bomb, your rules.))
((You decide what to do with the bomb and Velvet already left the whole camp and is moving to the next one.))
((Again, should've told this before. Xieress isn't a rookie, he'd have recognized an empty camp. Especially military camps as they tend to take their tents with them. An evacuated military camp would've meant NO camp.))
"Alright, who's been playing me?" Xieress said, exiting the tent, fully formed. "There's no one here."
((Well, this is technically, not a military camp. Its a Spys Camp and every single Spys camp has 20 tents in each and there are ten Spys camps disguised as military so everybody doesn't think its such a big deal and wouldn't investigate.))
"I don't know, I don't run this camp."
((Then why would they leave the tents? Tents aren't like houses, they're made so that they can easily be torn down and built up again somewhere else.))
"Either it's a trap, or the people we're fighting against are really, really stupid." Xieress said.
"I say trap. As I said before I don't trust that woman" Mike said
((They evacuated the camp, so they left as an emergency.))
"Look, if you don't trust that woman kill her, which direction did she go. The East path? Right?" Red said.
Mike "I am not sure. I don't remember"
"Theres no one here, so let's go killp that woman, that's what I say," Red suggested
((P-girl what's going to happen to the bomb remember its your call.))
"Why would they do that?!" Xieress shouted, not worrying about the volume of his voice anymore. "Why would they leave perfectly fine tents behind? They're tents!"
===============================================
There was a bang, as in the air, the bomb exploded harmlessly.
(What does the letter say?)
Mike turned to where he heard the bang
------------------------------------------------
Martina sighed a sigh of relief. One more issue down. She took the letter out of her pocket and opened it.
The letter said:
Dear leader of the Energiers,
It is an honour for you reading this. I have been informed of a team of Evil spies. Three to be exact, be prepared for the Evil and their spies.
Yours in honour,
General of the Spys.
Leila watched as Martina opened the letter
-----
"Emergency?" Red said shrugging.
Martina read the letter carefully "Looks like we have more trouble, as I have just been informed of 3 spys from the evil camp" she told the others
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"thats our job, to cause emergencies" Mike said
"Seriously, first the bomb now this."
-------
"So what made them leave perfectly good tents here as an emergency, any ideas?"
"We're at war, of course it's going to pile up." Chen said. "Better be prepared."
==================================
"I'm keeping with stupidity." Xieress said.
"Thats the sad fact. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better" Martina warned she was not sure some people were ready for this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"well it could be that something forced them to leave too quickly to pack up, maybe related to that bomb. However I still think this is a trap just a very poor one" Mike said
Leila stood there thinking hard and looking at her feet.
-------
"What's with that explosion anyway, maybe its where we can take a few lives."
Mike "well maybe but it could also be the case that the people are already dead"
"I'm sorry." Chen said.
=======================
"One way to find out." Xieress said.
"Lead the way."
-----
"If anything or anyone can come here, the bomb created attention, everyone has to be prepared," Leila said seriously with a straight face.
"Fine." Xieress said, heading towards where he heard the sound.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Our monestary specializes in the art of war. I am ready." Chen said.
Red followed Xieress.
---
Leila made an purple ivy wall around the lake to make sure no blood went in there just in case it for dirty. "We've got to do our tasks but be on guard, I think, that's the best plan.We'll look like sitting ducks but won't be."
"As I said, I always am." Chen said, seeing how his voice fell to deaf ears again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There it is!" Xieress said, pointing at the lake. "Why would they build a camp this close to another camp?"
((The lake is almost unseenable because Leila was growing purple ivy walls around it.))
"Stupidity."
---
"I know, I was just talking about our plan, lets get back to our duties," Leila said.
"I know that." Xieress said. "So, what's the plan?" He asked.
======================================
"Oh, right. The funeral." Chen said.
Martina nodded "I am going to do a sweep of the church and surounding area for more bombs. When you two are finished informing people could you come help me?"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mike just followed "why cover the lake?" he asked
"They're probably hiding something."
---
"Okay, Martina." Leila walked over to a group of energy beings and told them about the funeral.
"Well, they're not doing a good job at it. I can go trough that vine barier no problem." Xieress said.
==================================================
"I'll make the arrangements." Chen said, before movement besides the lake alarmed him. He shrugged and taught nothing of it.
Leila finished telling the energy beings and looked around feeling in danger, but saw nothing. She shrugged and went off to the Church .
"And with no one speaking up, I'm going to do just that." Xieress said, his body reverting to fog as he made his way to the barier.
Martina headed off to the church
----------------------------------------------------------
Mike just watched some people leave, there was not as many people as he had thought there would be.
Leila kept walking to the church while putting her guard up.
---
Red watched Xieress recklessly head to the barrier.
Xieress slowly made his way across the lake, wondering just what was so special about it that it needed guarding.
===============================================
At the church, Chen gave the orders for the funeral to go smoothly.
Martina was now busy checking the grounds. So far everything was clear
-----------------------------------------------------
Mike watched Xieress wondering if something was about to ahppen
"Martina! What do you want me to do?" Leila asked Martina.
---
Red continued watching the black fog.
"If you have finished telling people, then help me and Chen look for bombs around the church" Martina told Leila
"Okay." Leila started looking and inspecting areas of the church.
"Of course." Chen said, bowing.
=======================
Xieress, meanwhile, made it up to the rafters of the church, where he materialized.
Mike watched Xieress go to the church he followed
Leila saw a blue wizard and a man with silver hair passed and sharpened her guard and pretended not to notice.
-----
Red pounced to the bush close to the church and tried to stay hidden.
Xieress saw his companions approach and groaned, holding his head. They just went and ruined it.
====================================================
"Leila?" Chen asked, seeing his companion seize up. "Is something the matter?"
((Technically Red is not in the camp, he's around the border.))
"Nothing, but are we expecting visitors," pointing to the silver hair guy and blue wizard.
"Excuse me. I heard the elders funeral was happening tommorow is that correct?" Mike asked
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martina noticed something was up and headed over
"That is correct." Chen said. "We thank you for showing your condolences." With that, he made a small bow.
Very interesting, Red thought.
-----
Leila watched as Chen made a small bow at the suspicious but not suspicious man.
"Thank you" Mike said before turning and walking away
Xieress just sighed from his high vantage point. What was that all about? In any case, he shifted his attention to the three people that seemed to be in charge.
