Welcome to Gaia! ::

Axl: ow ow ow OW! Frigging hell I am going to put my own personal elevator in this place some day. *Axl came stumbling downstairs, cursing out at the stairs for being too complicated to master* Yarg! *Axl yelled a moment more before stretching out and yawning* ~_~ I feel better now... *He didn't seem aware of anyone at the moment, straightening his bandana*

Hidjie paused when the young bafoon stumbled down the stairs. Such grace, such intelligence...it could only be a bafoon! Sighing he rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Perhaps not...but then again, perhaps the will of a lovely young lady is all that's needed. And a gentle touch, mind you. He'd stopped rubbing his eyes, and nodded to himself, in a self-afferming gesture. He tried hard not to notice the sword she wore belted on her waist, after all she did not look too comfortable with it there. Not so much as she disliked the item, but was unsure as to what it was doing there. Hidjie had that feeling all the time...when ever he woke up and found a tavern maid in his bed.

Chuckling to himself he started back over to the couch he was sitting on and leaned down and swiped the blanket up. Holding one arm out he draped the blanket over it and began to fold it into small squares. "You worked so hard cleaning the place up I'd hate to make it dirty again."

Axl: Don't you give me that sigh! *Axl seemed instantly fully aware of his surroundings, or at least Tegral. Walking over to the other side of the room, Axl blinked and looked around, first at Tegral and then over to Bell, who he recognized by now* ^^ Oh heya.... nice to see you again *He waved at Bell for a moment* I was wondering when you'd get back xp *With his dorky chuckle, Axl spun around and plopped back on the wall*

"...s**t..." Tegral's mumble seemed to echo though the dojo. One minute Hidjie was standing there, golden hair shineing in the light and large blue eyes he was the perfect ladies man, and the next it was Tegral. One leg, the other replaced by a slab of wood, and only one arm, the other was chopped off at the shoulder. Using his left hand he drew his magnum, the silver peice of weapondry seemed to come to life in his hand. Because he drew it from the right side of his belt he drew it slightly slower than he would have normally. Tegral's damaged targetting grid fell into place as he recongnized the threat. He would not be caught off guard this time! Without really waiting for anything he fired at the creature.

...BANG

The first shot fired down at the creature's left knee cap, or rather the solid armor that was in place of his left knee cap.

((Sorry about slow response, having comp issues.))

The shot rang out, catching the creature in the left kneecap. It made the leg jerk back and the creature stumble forward a bit. However., as Tegral had drawn his weapon the creature had extended his hand to fire forth from his palm 3 long thin metallic spines. They dripped the same black stuff as the creature's blood, sizzling anything they touched. They had been aimed for Tegral's chest, but with the jerking movement the aim of them was forced up towards Tegral's face and throat.

Tegral's face was pincushioned with the strange metalic spikes and his entire body froze. Numbness encased his entire body as his knee started to buckle under him. Slamming into the ground with a loud thud, Tegral's eyes took a white tint to them. His scanner remained locked on the creature, despite the fact Tegral was now technically 'blind'.

BANG!

A second shot, aimed for the same knee cap, exploded from the barrel of his gun. His scanning systems fizzled after this second shot and shut down completely. His hand remained in it's position, locked in place. Numbness...stillness...blackness...Something was stabbing the back of Tegral's eyes, like a really bad itch that he couldn't quite scratch. A peice of flesh was hanging from the end of a needle that had managed to peice through the back of his skull. Blood leaked out onto the floor as the corrosive (spelling?) matter began to chew away at flesh and meat, since those were the softest and most plyable they were the first to melt away. Soon Tegral's face was a patch of blood, rotting flesh, and bone. His eyes, however, remained fairly well contained, and began shaking back and forth rapidly.

The metal of the creature's kneecap was torn, and ripped about into the flesh of the thing. Reaching down, it took hold of the cap and tore it away. Tossing the spiky piece of metal aside, it started towards Tegral, though it's steps were tried and slightly jerky. As it apporached, it's right arm lashed out to the side. Once more the blade was exposed, and then slid back into place. The creature's right hand had effectively been made inopperable, but now there was a vicious blade to deal with Tegral.

Throwing itself forward with surprising grace, it sought to be atop Tegral before he could react. It was there that the creature would drive it's weapon down, in hopes of severing Tegral's arm at the base. Regardless of it's quick movement, it still seemed to rely mostly on it's right leg.

Reaching down, the creature took the bloody magnum into it's hand. It spun the chamber, and let it lock into place with one of the rounds centered with the barrel. Pulling back the hammer, it pushed the weapon up against Tegrals head. The other hand was still bladed, and so the creature made no effort to use it.

Moments passed, as the creature debated the fate of the one before him. With a shrug, it laid the weapon down on the floor, and took hold of Tegral's shirt. Lifting Tegral into the air, he started towards the stairs. Tegral would soon find himself on the same bed as before, with the creature looming over him. It was here that the creature removed it's mask, confident that Tegral could not see what lay beneath it.

The creature's large mouth exposed, the 8 fangs dripped the acidic saliva. Pulling Tegral's body close, the mouth of the thing clamped over his neck. There wasn't much blood left in Tegral, and so the process of draining would pass quickly. As the negative energy melted at Tegral's skin, the creature knew that soon negative energy would be part of Tegral's essence. In the very same room as before, the creature formed yet more spawn, though this one would be of a very different nature.
