Welcome to Gaia! ::

((hmm...well, I see a post-edit in order. Seeing as how things are all happening differently in two different posts, we should give Xallen the benefit of the doubt))

((alright, so. Grenade went in, Xal jumped off, and now olive goes.))

((Right then, let's keep going.))

Well, that voice sounded familiar. That gernade looked familiar too. Adam.

One of his phone calls got through? Finally!

"Hey Adam!" Aiolos yelled, "Came in just in time for the party!" He ran to the other side of the bulldozer, over where Xallen was. He really had nothing to do. His quick hands put away his tin flute, grabbed the conductor's whistle around his neck and kept it in his hand.

"Wherever you are Adam, you don't happen to have another gernade handy, do you?" He yelled, there was something he wanted to try if the chance presented itself, right now he was running behind the steel beams where his friend was.

"There you are, I've been waiting all day!"

((First die, Gwee. Second die, grenade.))

"Fweeem!"

The Gwee darted for the open door, eyes wide as cobblestones at the sight of the explosive landing right next to it. He wasn't fast enough to clear the explosion entirely, though, and...

BOOOOOOOOM!

The bulldozer belched and bellowed as its insides were consumed by flames, fuel catching fire and exploding, leaving a mere wreckage of a vehicle. Shrapnel flew everywhere, and the Gwee was caught from behind, fragments of twist metal tearing through its right wing and the sides of its body. The blast propelled its tiny body forward, bright green scales blackened by the fire. Wingless, hurt, and altogether not looking well, it collapsed on top of Xallen, landing on his head or in his arms.

"Gwee..."

A tiny puff of smoke escaped the creature's mouth, but no more, and soon the light had faded from its eyes. There was a tiny gleam of something held tightly in its tail.

He caught the Gwee with his hands, luckily avoiding any damage as he caught the victim of Adam's grenade. With another quick flicker, he changed once again. A lone tear ran down the side of his face; he intended to kill the Gwee, but it could have died in a much more humane way, as he meant for it to be. But alas, there seemed to be a marble in the Gwee's tail, and Zen quickly grabbed it. It looked like their team was up one marble. "Well, thanks for your help Aiolos. I suppose we can continue travelling together, but you and your ally might want to do something else. Zen...shall we?" Xallen pulled out a map of the area from his pocket, and immediately headed southeast to the city center.

"Yeah, I'm going to kick that Gwee's little green as-"

BOOOOOOOOM!

Aiolos peeked out from the pile of steel to see the flaming remains of a bulldozer.

He turned back to Adam and gave him a wide eyed look. Aiolos gave him back the gernade, "You're right, they do pack a punch." He looked back

There was Zen and Xallen, taking a marble from the thing, he could tell that the marble was taken, don't ask how, but he knew. They were heading off.

"Wait up!" Aiolos yelled, running after them to the city center.

((So do we split points for the boss kill?))

"Sweet, this is a stalwart." Zen swapped out marbles and felt a sudden erge of security, quickly he followed behing Xallen, apparently Aiolos was okay with his team partner.
