Aysel looked up at the roaring angel, or was he an angel any more? Interesting. And after healing the last of Grick serious wounds walked over to the towering form of Laphael and poked him in the stomach, since she couldn't reach much higher.
"Pay!? Pay for what? I died already; it was your fault, I told you someone changed the tapestry. The other one probably showed me alive and had you not been so hellbent on revenge for some percieved crime that I MUST have commited because of what I am, you wouldn't be in this sticky situation." she retorted watching a last bit of ooze drip from his back.

"Now if you will stop yelling an crouch down abit I will heal that cut on your arm." It was bleedling freely though he seemed not to have noticed it, and Aysel was almost thankful to see his blood was no longer golden which ment it wouldn't burn any more. So was he mortal now? He still seemed to have that glow about him which no human had. Aysel wondered

[Edriss]

Laphael backed away from Aysel as she approached, glaring at her suspiciously like a wounded animal. He wanted nothing more to do with her or any of the bizarre personalities he had encountered. Feeling the urge to fly he felt a phantom tingle where his wings had once sat but what his mind wished his body could not deliver; he felt chained, almost, the earth despite the fact that without his heavy wings he was actually a great deal lighter that he had been. Father had not seen fit to give him sturdier bones. Through bared teeth he spat, “It is your fault! It all happened because of your vendetta with the Major, I heard what he said…STAY AWAY!” Aysel had taken another step closer making him recoil.

New sensations of hatred and anger where welling up with him, he no longer had the cooling force of his brothers keeping him in check and somewhere in the furthest corner of his mind he was quite enjoying the emotional freedom. Though if that miniscule part of him was enjoying itself the rest hated it.

With anxiety building itself a homestead in his chest he stared around wildly, unsure of what to do of where to go. He had seen Omus a short way off caring for the gnome and he knew he didn’t what to hear anymore of his patronizing wise talk, not now, not ever. Going into overdrive he hissed at the Valkian and then at Aysel, he was definitely feeling caged now.. and with no wings to fly…he could almost swear he heard laughter in the distance…

[AbstractPagan]

Grick looked over at Laphael. He had a glimmer of sadness in his heart for the poor chap. Perhaps, he thought I could make him wings.

"Laphael, I understand what it is like to lose body parts you have come to enjoy. I've been engineerin' body parts for decades, lets get ta tha city and get some parts for ya and I'll make ya wings once more. Serious lad. Regardless of right or wrong, we all have our own wrongs and rights. Lets put it past us lad, otherwise ya won't learn from it.
He looked over at Laphael showing genuine eyes.

"We are the only group that will have you now, we've had ar' differences. What do ya say?"

((OCC: Thought that would be a cool addition to Laphael))

[kovah]

Aysel took several more of her small steps towards Laphael.
"I didn't HAVE a vendetta against the major, he created me if anything i should have been allied with him. But he captured my friends and was going to kill them. Thats why i broke into the building to FREE them, not because i wanted to kill the Major." Aysel growled feeling angry

"Stay away" he said

"I wish i COULD stay away from you, but for some reason she won't let me. You killed her as well Laphael AND she feels sorry for you which i cant figure out. Aysel paused as Grick had his say and wondered if going back into the city having taken out most of the city's defences between them was a good idea.
"I can't change what I am Laphael, and i wont apologise for it. But I will be civil to you if you extend the same to me." she said quietly.

[AbstractPagan]

"Look lad, I know you don't like the demon cat or even the lass, but no one else is goin' ta give you this leniency. You've tried to kill us many times, and we have of you, like it or not the Major will try ta kill us all. He has a top secret self-repairing prototype droid body. We need to leave here soon as possible. I do not think we currently have the resources to stop him. Now is not the time for squabblin' about the right and wrong of it.

((As Omus))

"He will surely come looking for you in our den, we cannot let that happen, we too must leave our home and further from the city. We have lost much as well."

Mechanical sparks begin to shoot out of the cuts in the Majors body. Whirrs and random movements begin to stir.

[Edriss]

Laphael’s eyes glanced wildly at the faces around him; the problem was he felt himself willing to agree to whatever the last person said. He was desperate for someone to tell him what to do, Father had always commanded him and secretly that was one of the few reasons he’d enjoyed the Major’s company during his creators waning control. He wanted a leader so badly he felt it almost like a physical pain.

Aysel had been speaking this epiphany dawned on him, his mouth slowly opened and closed as a glaze came over his eyes. A new leader! A new lord! Sometime to serve and to follow –

” Now is not the time for squabblin' about the right and wrong of it.” Grick’s husky voice broke into Laphael’s thoughts and his turquoise eyes fell onto him like a hungry wolf. Tag. You’re it.. Paying no heed to the demon he dropped into his knees in front of the gnome, though he was still quite capable of looking him in the eye. “I’ll follow only you, I give you my oath.”

[Hookswords]

As Laphael bows before Grick a few pebbles fall onto his lowered head from the wreckage above. Grick's internal alarms light up with two definite signatures. Saymbolsal and Onyxadze uncloak, clinging to the wreckage above. Onyxadze claws his way down as Saym lets loose dropping like a hammer near the group. He is covered in blood, flecks of droid parts, and fluid from droids and serpent alike.

"Well," A slight grin creeps across his face " I guess Onyxadze and I held off enough of them to allow you to do what was needed."

His eyes and posture seem more feral than before. A stream of blood stains his cheek flowing from his mouth.

"What is our next coarse of action?" He asks almost too nonchalantly

[kovah]

Aysel's mouth dropped open, first when Laphael suddenly pledged allegiance to Grick and then Saymbolsal and his machine pet appeared out of nowhere. Aysel was having a rather trying day and whats more she was tired, dying was apparently a very tiring business. Aysel took a short running jump and leapt on Laphael's back with a grin of childish mischief on her face,
"Well Grick says you have to carry me, my legs are tired. After all you did kill us." She looked round to Saym "I don't know, someone else can choose this time."

[AbstractPagan]

"Now Laphael, Mistakes are what makes us mortal, I won't mind ta lead ya, but you should consider yerself equal ta us all." The alarm stopped chirping in his head as Saym and Onyxadze return from their apparent silent battle stance that must have had a major impact on the victory.

"Welcome back Saym, Oxyzadze did ya get you body count in?"

"Well, I say since we are adventurous enough ta take on a quasi-deity and storm a Nezureth stronghold and win the day, lets go to the city and get Laphael some new wings, though I would say some quiet time might not be a bad idea. Some R&R would be great eh?"

((As Major))

Some Mechanical whirrs stirred up again as a burst of smoke and dust saw the Major of into the distant sky heading to the city.

"Ah you see, I survuve another day. If you come to the city, you will die!"

[AbstractPagan]

((OCC:So is this the end?))

[Edriss]

OOC: If we are going to end this for now and then perhaps start it again in a couple of moths then it might be interesting to have the group slit up. It might be interesting to have the characters reunite after several years apart, as then they will have had time to develop and change.

As the shower of rocks fell Laphael looked up in alarm, handing reaching instinctually for the hilt of his weapon. “Wolf child!” In the midst of the excitement he had forgotten the others and he now briefly wondered what had happened to them. The next blow of surprise came as he felt a sudden weight on his back and looking down he saw Aysel’s thin arms clasped around his neck, his skin crept as he stood with the girl still hanging on his back. Guilt at killing the innocent within Aysel was slowly seeping through his system so he could not deny her the rest she deserved; it was only a shame that he had to endure Aysel as well.

A glint of his usual contempt crept into his eyes as Grick spoke, he would follow the gnome but that did not mean he considered himself lesser to any of them. He was, after all, still an angelic being. He was created to be above all other beings. Wings or no. As talk about the group’s next move commence Laphael stayed aloof, it was not like he had anywhere to be and already he was feeling fine. Excluding the painful lack of wings, of course.

Laphael roared angrily at the Major as he disappeared into the sky. It was unacceptable that the mechanical abomination should be able to fly and he should not. “I’ll see you turned into a tin can before I’m through!”

Forgetting that he carried the girl on his back he walked towards his sword and untied the cark blue cloth that hung from his waist. Carefully he wrapped the blade in the cloth and carried it as though h=it might shatter at any sudden movement. There was no way in Hell that he would abandon his century old weapon. What he would like to do, he mused, now that he had calmed down enough to think straight at least; would like to be alone. He needed to decide just what he was now that Father had exiled him and he didn’t want outside influences to force his decision.

OCC: Its up to you two whether you want to end it now or not. Though i think ending it here at least on this forum is probably a good idea. Maybe start a new thread in awhile. There is of course the option to go with Edriss's plan to have them meet up again in several years. And if you guys are up for it I know of two places that we would be welcome to start up a new version of this RP one of which there would be definate interest form other people. And the other one there may be some interest but i am a Mod on that forum so no one will argue with me if i want to make a new RP. Would require you to register, but its free ^^ What do you guys think? Leave it for awhile on this forum or move to another for awhile?

Aysel found herself much higher off the ground than she had anticipated when Laphael stood up and after some scrambling on her part finally settled herself on the angels shoulders silently marvelling at how soft and shiney his hair was even after all of that fighting and dirt and blood.

"Laphael, what are you now?" she asked in all scencerity

[Edriss]

OOC: I think perhaps moving to another forum would be a good move as here doesn't seem to be the right place for the rp anyway. I certainly don't mind registering anywhere and it'd be a shame to stop if long term if we don't need to.

[AbstractPagan]

"Well I made a promise to get Laphael flyin' again. So we can go to my workshop, but we will need to get there soon before they repair the wall. Is that a flybot over there?"

Grick glanced over at a seamingly clean appearing flybot. He understoo its design and was aware of a special arms depot in the base of it that could hold two people uncomfortably. Aysel and Saym could fit in there with a little room to spare. He walked over to it and discovered that it had only taken a hit tha caused it to crash, but it was only damaged in the front. Th thrusters seemed ok. He activated an upgrade and looked at its diagnostics. Its guidance system had malfunctioned when it went to recorrect its trajectory after the hit. When it hit the ground its safeguards shut its main power off. It was designed to save the security headquarters money on minor damage.

"Well its a little beat up but I can realign its navigation array. Ok were done. This thing'll hold Aysel and Saym in its weapon depot. But the downside is it wont have any ammo, I can keep remote access to it and I can ride Onyxadze to the main wall. What do you guys think? It will our quickest way to the workshop. Luckily I kept close to the outter wall and we'd only have a small bit to travel."

OCC: we'll get him wings and then we can meet up in a few years, this way Laphael can have fun being a renegade with wings. Aysel could camp up with Grick if she'd like or she could rejoin with some of her nocturnal buddies in the safehaven. Just some ideas.

[kovah]

OCC: Have just realised the first place i had in mind will take alot longer, you have to register then aplly to a guild then get approved and i cant speed things along for that unfortunatly ¬¬

So the other place is - http://www.cityofangelus.com/forums/index.php? Yes i know its a buffy and angel forum but the people are dead nice ^^ and you will be made welcome lol. I am called dragonfyre on there btw just so there is no confusion. :P Should i go and start posting stuff like the bio thread and whatnot?

[kovah]

OCC: The new RP is up in the forum in the above link if anyone is interested in joining it. Tis free to register as usual and the RP is the viva las vegas room. Character thread in the stickies at the top and rp thread near the top. Its based several years after this one and some of what happened is outlined in my first post in the new thread.

Getting back into the city was almost as hard as getting out in the first place, and the small bedraggled group finally got some rest in a small hideout on the outskirts of the city. As far away from the HQ where the major was now being fixed as they could manage. It was mere days after that when things started to go wrong.
Inexplicably all the hideouts of criminals and those living under the radar of the law were raided and many of the captives taken for immediate live dissasembly. The small group only just managed to escape in several of these instances until it got to the point when there was just no place to hide any more. As the last of these hideouts were raided in the confusion Aysel still in the form of a little girl was snatched up by an officer to be taken out of harms way. That was the last time she saw her friends alive, realizing that there was no where left to go, she escaped the foster home she had been placed into and fled to the wilderness where she has been for 15 years.

Well a grand total of four hours later and a complete compilation of narration and quotations yeilds a grand total of 57,000 words and 78 microsoft word document pages. More than enough to make a good couple of graphic novels.

is that just gricks bit or all of it lol ?

[AbstractPagan]

is that just gricks bit or all of it lol ?

All of it. I was going to do just Grick's but realized that a complete compilation inspired my curiosity more. it's amazing what you can do betwen three to four people in just a few months. Anyway, I am signed up at that other forum. Though I really thought that we could find a better home for the rp here and just maybe we could get some more participants if it is placed better. It's just our roles don't seem to fit that other forum.
