NPF Avatars IV, Chapter I: The Comet out of Space - Page 10

Rhiya Ravenwing · 07-20-2006, 07:31 AM

Pyros could see the small thermometer around Rhiya's head suddenly rise a bit.

RFS: 25... 23.... 27.... 30..... 35.... 35.... 35....

"Well if you're not glad to see me, tough!" Rhiya huffed as she released her vice-like grip over Pyros' chest. The god breathed again.

Ignoring the crunch of possible bone under her heel ("...my thigh!" came a weak, hoarse gasp when Ecurt realised the damages) Rhiya stalked back to the window.

"Come on, peoples. I'm getting impatient here. There's maulin' to do, and I want to be the one doin' it. Do I have to change dragon and rampage before anything gets done?!"

Arhra · 07-20-2006, 10:28 AM

Arhra had been busy lurking in a corner whispering something intently to Yuri. Hearing Rhiya's complaint, she turned back to face the others, "Well, if that's everything," she said, blithely ignoring the other questions and suggestions, "let's get going."

"We'll just ride Rhiya as that is the closest and thus safest way to get to the Earth Temple. Unfortunately, flight near the Gate is... risky... so we'll still have to travel a little overland." Arhra paused a moment, seeming to orientate herself and then pointed in a direction, "The Gate is that way."

Flarecobra · 07-20-2006, 10:51 AM

"Give me a second." I said, getting up and headed to the bathroom. I came back out about a minute later, the back plate of my armor gone, and I had shifted to my dragongirl form, scarlet-scaled wings and a tail now visable. "I'm ready." I said.

POS Industries · 07-20-2006, 12:18 PM

Meanwhile, back in downtown NPF...

A woman stood looking out upon the horizon from atop the towering skyscraper, a gust of wind sending ripples across the grey business attire she wore and raising into the air a lock of the auburn hair that she kept pulled back out of her face with chopsticks. Staring out toward the setting sun, the woman's eyes, neither blinking nor squinting in the light of the burning star, caught a speck in the distance, her ears perking at the dull roar of the rapidly spinning blades that carried it through the air.

As the helicopter drew closer, it hovered over the roof of the building before slowly setting down upon the landing pad. The woman approached the helicopter as it's passanger swiftly disembarked, his long black coat whipping in every direction as it was caught in the helicopter's massive eddy.

"Ah, Rei, good to see you," Pedro O'Sullivan greeted the android woman that was moving briskly to intercept him, "What brings you up here? Must be important, that it couldn't wait for me to get inside."

"Looks that way, Pe-chan," the mechanized avatar of the Relatively Empathic Interface replied cheerily, "Our office has received messages from Arhra, PhoenixCorp, and our... "silent partner" regarding the comet that's approaching the planet. Looks like the whole gang's getting together again!"

Pedro nodded as he considered the issue. "Sounds like they're pretty riled up about it," he sighed, "but things have been pretty busy around here as of late. What's on the schedule for this evening?"

"Back-to-back repeats of Lost."

"Ooh, can't miss that," he chuckled as the pair stepped into the elevator, "Contact Phoenix and Mr. Sparkle and let them know that we'll meet up with them whenever we get a free moment. I'm sure Arhra will get the message somehow."

Rei nodded as the doors closed and the elevator began to descend. In a nanosecond, she had already recorded and sent replies back to the other NPFers. Having reached their floor, Rei glanced over at POS as they disembarked. "Any other orders, Pe-chan?" she asked him in her usual perky voice.

Pedro nodded. "Yes. Keep a close eye on that comet. If our scans notice anything out of the ordinary, keep me posted."

And with that, the Hazel-Eyes White Capitalist and his lovable android sidekick went their separate ways, POS humming softly as the door to his office shut softly behind him.

PyrosNine · 07-20-2006, 02:33 PM

Pyros picked himself back up and made some spine-rearranging adjustments, then got off the man he was standing upon. "Forgive me for standing upon you." He then calmly bowed to the man, and went over to Rhiya.

"Forgive me for putting you in a bad mood, but it's just that I'm not the Pyros you know. Also, I am quite happy to see you, as I always enjoy meeting interesting people. And you are indeed interesting. But this is the first time we've met."

Pyros drew two circles in the air with his fingers, and they both burst into flame. Adjusting the heat that was given off, Pyros produced two pictures within these circles, one of himself, and one of PyrosNine.

"You see? While we may look similar, there are subtle differences. Aside from our casual attire, I have a lighter hair color and I do not have a dark red aura. Nor am I crazy."

Darth SS · 07-20-2006, 03:48 PM

Darth jumped in the air like a small child.

"Yay! We get to ride on a dragon!"

He hit the ground and proceeded to make many very small hops of joy, eagerly awaiting Rhiya's transformation.

"I'm so excited! Killing this Herald guy is going to be the best day EVER!!"

Thunder clouds appeared out of nowhere and crackled ominously. And some sakura petals floated by. Darth stopped and raised an eyebrow. Then he squeezed his eyes and muttered a mantra.

"Suspension of disbelief, suspension of disbelief, suspension of disbelief..."

***Fenris*** · 07-20-2006, 03:51 PM

Fenris slowly raised himself away from the delicious, albeit deadly, eateries. He walked over to Rhiya and asked, "Can I ride too?"

Tarrin · 07-20-2006, 04:12 PM

Tarrin looked at the dragon then back at the destroyed house, Shaking his head Tarrin shape meldid with an eagle, Wings sprouted from his back "I'll follow, I don't want to overload you...yeah thats it overload".

PyrosNine · 07-20-2006, 05:41 PM

"What? You all wish to ride upon this girl like a common steed? I failed to hear her say she desired to do as such, and I do not think it would be polite to insist upon riding her."

Pyros was also quite aware that riding a dragon was never a fun thing, no matter what books and animations depicted. Dragon Scales were sharp enough to sever limbs, and dragon flight could get jerky whenever the dragon had to do any manuevering. That and dragons tended to get hungry during long flights...

"I realize I may be intruding upon your plans, and forgive me for that, but may I ask that you find another vehicle as this girl seems to be an acquaintance of my dimensional other."

Flarecobra · 07-20-2006, 06:03 PM

I shrugged, my wings opening up a bit. "So, let's get going!"
