Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the last of his energy, Spiko whimpered out of the crater and into view of Sutii who to his surprise was still standing, but the shock then turned into a form of a smirk. "So... I guess.... you... were...all that..I've..heard... about you..." His wooden sphere, which acted like his core, appeared to be tarnished and worn, as the once vibrant energy which made up Spiko's wolf form was now staticy and calmed. With one last step, Spiko black out as he fell to the ground. His wolf form was no more as his normal human shape returned to existence, revealing horrible scars that ran up and down his body bleeding rather constantly, creating a puddle of blood around his body. He had fought a good fight, and that's all that matter to him... hell he even ran with one of his nation's idols.... all in all the fight proved worthy in his eyes and so did the outcome.
((good fight ^^))

Slowly, through the man's healing abilities, Spiko regained consciousnesses as his eyes slowly opened to find a world which was spinning around and around. "Ugh.." He tried to sit up, but the pain in his chest and arms was too much so he stayed put as he then glanced at Sutii who appeared to be healing him with some kind of magic. "Some fight eh?" Spiko tried to laugh but the pain in his stomach caused that to stop from the get go, so he only went so a soft chuckle. After a while, he managed to sit himself upright and look at Sutiiven with his now calmed red eyes. "Thank you for that, wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't get any attention..." He then glanced around the arena which was once the battlefield and found blown up buildings and rubble everywhere.. a few people were brave enough to just stare at them from the sidelines, while others still ran for their lives even though the fight was finished. "You think it got just a little bit out of hand?" the sounds of sirens ran through the air, making him smirk a bit.

Spiko thought for a moment, and then burst out in laughter. "Yea, I get that a lot and a drink would be nice." the tall body of Spiko slowly rose to his feet, as he then stumbled a bit but quickly regained his balance and soon stood without any trouble at all. "Oh and by the way.. the name's Spiko Sortana and don't worry I already know who you are." he offered his hand with a cocky grin to match Sutii's. "You know, you're a pretty persistent bugga' yourself. Hell you beat me."

With Sutiiven only being 5'7'' while Spiko was 6'4'' (says 6'1'' in bio gonk gotta change that) it must have been a pretty funny sight to see a person, who towered over the other, follow the other like a lost puppy.. but Spiko just shrugged it off as he followed Sutii throughout the town, trusting him that he had been to Barton Town before, hell Spiko must have been the only one who hadn't been here before. After awhile, he gained up to Sutti and then walked next to him. "So... you've to Gaia all of your life?" he just wanted to start some talk.. get to know him better.

Spiko across from the man, as he put his bag down at the end of the table. "I can see why... Barton is nice, and bigger than anything I've come from." He looked up a bit as if he was thinking, and then looked back at Sutii. "Me? Well I sailed here from the continent of Kirl... and I'm from a relatively large clan that resides... I mean resided in Harma; a small country." he rested his wooden arm on the table and began to make a clicking sound with his index finger. "And my kind? People call us Harmainains, so I guess that's what I am." he laughed a bit, but then the memories of home caused him to get a blank stare.. memories that fueled him to travel across the world in the first place. In a matter of seconds, he shook it off and looked back at Sutii. "Well that's about it, well summed up anyways..."

"I'm sure that most people haven't... oh and I'll just some ale, any would be good." He said with a smile and a nod to his new friend, but his mood quickly changed as Sutii asked about what happened in his homeland and the smile turned into a small smirk then a frown. "Well you're partially right.. as for this wooden arm, it's bit more complicated really. You see why I'm a different race than a human, is because of this." he left his wooden arm and if looked closely one could see a symbol of a star on the back of his hand. "Everyone in my clan is missing a part of their body, and mine was my right arm, but we weren't born without it... we sacrificed some of our flesh at birth for wood."

Spiko gave out a pause and a little smirk to Sutii. "You know when you fought me, all the powers I suddenly had out of nowhere? My wolf form? Well, I only partially control my body during that time for when a person receives a part of this wood they actually receive a spiritual partner... and mine was a wolf. Now, every clan member has a different animal partner than the rest, so you could see there was a lot of diversity and factions inside my clan... birds, canines, felines, and all that and somehow we all got along."

"Well... this is the bad part. Word had somehow spread all the way here about our power and how easily it was to obtain it, and eventually they managed to locate our main city. I wasn't there though so I couldn't really hear the whole story, but all I know is that the man enslaved my people and brought them here to use their abilities whenever he wanted to.. now I'm here because of a rumor that one of the same man's partners goes to the stadium often, and well I plan to get him and make him tell me where I should go." Spiko looked up at Sutii and gave him a small smirk. "Sorry if I went on too long, I sort of get into it when I talk about this sort of thing..."

It was the middle of the night, and fortunately everyone were in their beds fast asleep. However, at headquarters, the signal goes off, Zion and his little robot slave getting alert of a danger lurking in Barton Town. There was only person currently present in that vicinity, and he was the Red Ranger.

Who was the red ranger, one may ask? No one knew, but the guy was flying right in with wings made of metal, NOT FOAM, the ranger seeing someone settling down into the center of town.



He floats some feet in front of Iron Man and lands, his own sensors coming into play. Not your usual sensors, but his spider senses, Bruce Lee senses, etc.

Meanwhile, our Heroes stood around twiddling their thumbs for a couple minutes.

...

Until something noteworthy seized the attention of whatever supersensors were watching. A mass of metal surrounding a life sign. At first it would seem small and distant.

And then the next moment it would seem like it was the size of a bus. Not that it actually increased in size, but the illusion of proximity would make the coffin-shaped metal box seem like an oncoming bus.

Which was accurate, considering the 1800 pound block of metal would be doing upwards of two hundred miles an hour flying straight up Iron Man's a** if he wasn't paying attention.

Of course, if he was, the block would likely miss and slam into the ground and careen quite a ways down the street before stopping.

Huzzah for linear sub-orbital drops.
