Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nictor is going left!



Nictor and Bee may have left the main party behind shiny red bars but it seemed a welcoming committee for this hall had been just waiting for guests to arrive. Nictor yelped as he was shoved away from Bee just in time for the charging trollbot to miss him.

Nictor's eyes widened. He could already see where this was going. The trollbot was going to try and shove it's horns into Bee's guts. There wasn't enough time for the buzzbeast to take to the air and with his burnt legs, Bee couldn't scuttle out of the way in time.

Panic and adrenaline was running high in Nictor this night. There was some sort of threat or trap around every damn corner and these trollbots were everywhere and this whole space ordeal had beat up his lusus so much already! Nictor was feeling sick almost constantly looking at the state Bee was in and things just kept coming at them.

He didn't want Bee to get hurt more. He was so sick of seeing Bee hurt.

Nictor took a tumbling leap forward, falling on his face but grabbing at the trollbot's legs, trying to stop the thing's charge. It seemed his effort was in vain because the bot's leg slipped through his fingers.

No!

What Nictor didn't see was that the bot fell and went skidding right at Bee's legs, making the lusus crash down on top of it. Even as it kicked and yelled and slapped, it's circuits gave their last shuddering sparks beneath the weight and died.

Nictor propped his head up and blinked. Then blinked again. Then Bee was on him, worrying and fussing and admonishing him because what if the trollbot had turned on Nictor when he tried to interfere. But Nictor was just dazed at his own actions, that his worry had been enough to push past his skittishness into action. Not that it was a whole lot. Bee had still gotten struck in his legs, but there wasn't a giant gory hole in his side, so, that could have definitely gone worse.

Caiden jumped as something clattered behind him. The brownblood froze. What if it was a monster? What if those terrible robots were catching up to them?! The boy looked back and forth between the tealblood and the greenblood. He could see they were tired. This had been an especially grueling adventure. How could any troll not be at least a little worn out. Caiden tried to steel himself. He didn't want to make these two heroines work even harder when he himself still had a bit of energy. Caiden clenched his fist and turned around to confront that which made the clatter. Caiden sighed in relief as he saw Engrav move to pick up something he had dropped.

Hemera is attacking!

Back on her feet, breathing, the world pulsing around her. All that was left was the mission. Some robots weren't going to get in the way of that. Any bots try to sneak up on her, she threatened with her boomerang. Worst case scenario, throw it before they could get close. Nothing would touch her now. Hemera would not allow it. She was going to keep going. She had survived falls on Busthind. Lasers were a new breed of pain, but pain could be mitigated.

If she didn't do this, so many trolls would die. Pain was nothing. It had to be nothing. She just wished it wasn't so stubborn about slowing her down. Not now, of all times!

1 damage each roll after until a support power is used on you

"They just don't know when to give up, do they?" Cerpin rolled his eyes at the bots they encountered. A bit of snark made him feel better which he desperately needed since his left leg was bleeding and aching from his fall through the catwalks and his back was badly burned. The bots charged at them and Cerpin looked to Blossmom to see how his lusus was doing. Not so great.

"Back off!" The bots were catapulting themselves off of each other to slam into the great white bird trying to shield Cerpin from harm. A loud pained cry erupted out of Blossmom, one that the spoiled prince had never heard before. Eyes wide with panic and fear, the boy threw himself on top of the fallen bird to protect him. Heavy metal blows came one after another until the bots moved on to other prey.

His vision blurred but he could make out purple streaks smeared across his father's feathers. Whether it was his blood or his lusus's, Cerpin couldn't tell. It was hard to breath and every movement felt like his lungs were collapsing.

"Vee... where are you-" The voice came out in gasps and it didn't sound like his. It was too raspy and broken, the very tone of it startled him. The young hero had pushed himself too hard and now his partner was lost in this maze of a tower with no one to help her. He'd led her into this trap and now it was his fault if she died for a stupid cause that had nothing to do with their dream.

Maybe in a few minutes he'd feel up to walking. For now he had to focus on breathing.

After serving her best can of Whoop-a**™, Forera noticed a certain familiar tealblood jump into the battle alongside her with a certain fervor she hadn't seen in her before. A quick punch and a kick at the nearest enemy and Forera ended up near the tealblood, giving her a bright and toothy smile. "Now thats what I'm talkin' about, Icy! Great hit! Might wanna try practicin' your swing a tiny bit more though, I'm sure y'can kick some real good a** when y'really wanna!" Forera commented, trying to give some constructive criticism. Her face then brightened. "Hey, hey, I could totally help with that!! With yer muscles 'n s**t! I'm so great with that, like--" She almost pulled off her jumpsuit to show her babies, but she stopped herself, not wanting to show any of her scars and tattoos. "Er. Y'can feel'em. C'mon, don't be shy!"

Forera snorted. It was obvious the troll seemed stressed. While Forera understood why, she needed to somehow take her mind off it. It wasn't good to dwell on s**t like this too much. Jogging near her, the tealblood grabbed her arm firmly, wanting to help. Maybe this'd make her budge, a little. "No sir-ree, miss super serious gal, you're gonna touch my muscles and take a sec to chillax your cute butt. Right now, we've got time, see? We can get there if we just take it slow." Forera hummed before her eyes suddenly brightened. "See, this one--" Forera grinned, lifting her left arm and flexing it-- "Lefty is called Caput. And uh, my righty baby, this beautiful gal's called Cauda. They're my lil' babies, my pride and joy!" Forera flexed both of them, showing them to her with eager eyes. "C'mon! Don't leave 'em waitin'!"

Something in Forera snapped. She was just trying to help. Her smile became a sickeningly sweet smile. "Well, dearest darlingest abolutionblockie, d'ya happen to know the definition of stress? Its something you have. Right now. You're freakin' out, and ya look like you're goin' to implode or explode or whatever. The bomb is still tickin' and if it were goin' to explode, I'm pretty sure we'd have some sort of a warning. Like, I dunno, an explosion?" Forera rolled her eyes. "I was just tryin' to get ya to laugh or ******** ever. But no, you're a ********' impenetrable ice wall. A girl can't help in the only way she knows how, because the others got too much of a stick in her a** to have a little fun."
