Welcome to Gaia! ::

-One of Strider's wolfs watches as Aravel enters the building and runs back to Strider who is standing by some state soilders and when his wolf got there Strider and the soilders followed it to the building where Strider knocked and when the slider opened a gunshot rung out and Richard fell dead and Strider used alchemy and changed the door into a wolf- "Knock, knock!" -All the soilders filed in-

-As Aravel was leaveing the bomb didn't go off. Outside as Aravel was walking away Strider's hand grabbed his ankle as he began to emerge from the cobble stone street- "Please. Haven't you learned anything about me? You can't fool me with such a petty. Now." -Strider uses alchemy of Aravels pant leg making his pants metel. Then the rest of his clothes turned into metal. Trapping Aravel in a metel caseing- "Now don't take this personally. I'm not after you....for today at least. I'm just going to use you to capture your freind. Oh and no alchemy please." -Strider picks up two rocks and made two mits of metal that clasped Aravels hands shut inside the metal. Then Strider reopened the pit trap and all his soilders came out with a bomb with no fuse- "I transmuted the explosive material into copper." -Then the soilders got Aravel onto a cart and began pulling him along to where Axel was. By now Strider had made two wolfs-

-Strider was asleep by a fire at night. He had encased his prisoners mouth shut and encased his head in metal with breathing holes that didn't reveal his face- "ZZZZZzzzzzz." -Strider had two wolfs gaurding the prisoner at all times sitting on the right and left side panting and any movement they stopped and raised their ears and looked in the same direction of the noise. After a minute or so they went back to panting. All the soilders were also asleep, most from being drunk, or talking among themselves inside tents-

-Strider gets up very tired and decides to go to his tent. He whistles to his wolfs and they run over to him and follow him into the tent. A few hours later the fires were all out and everyone in the camp was asleep-

-After Axel broke the caseing instead of Aravel Strider was inside. Strider transmutes a blades as the caseing breaks and then transmutes Axel's shoulder area into wood and in one slash cuts off Axel's arm. Also Strider's wolfs come out and pounce on him. One biteing his other arm the other close around his throat but not biteing just keeping his mouth open around his neck keeping him from moveing- "Bet you didn't see this comeing. Oh and your friend is safe. He's just inside a cell somewhere in Central. Which is where you shall be going." -Strider transmutes his metal caseing into a new wolf. A solid metal wolf. It jumped onto Axel and quickly the stone one moved and the metal one took his place. Then Strider transmuted it to where all of Axels limbs were locked in place. Especially his remaining arm. The head of the wolf stayed fixed in position around his neck with razor sharp teeth- "Now be a good boy and stay put." -Strider sent his wolfs and woke up his men who began prepareing to leave. Strider never left Axel. Learning from expeirience that Axel was very.......resourceful-

((Out -rank me for nothing.....whatdoes that mean? O_o))
-Strider decided to ignore Axel's words as they made their way into Central- "Welcome to Central X-blade. Now lets go drop you off at the prison." -Strider and his soilders opened the doors to the prison- "Hello anyone home?" -A tall big looking man stepped out of a door to stand behind a desk "Ahh. Red Wolf. Who you got for me today?"- "His name is Axel. The X-Blade alchemist." -The man wentover a list. "Yup he's on our list of run aways. Come on then lets get him in a cell."- "Put him in the cell with Aravel." -"Aye. As you wish." The man drug Axel to Aravel's cell. Then Strider opened the door and as he puched Axel into the cell he transmuted his metal bonds back into a wolf and then he slammed the door just a second after the wolf came out- "There ya go Bear. Another one for ya. Oh and Axel don't try to use alchemy here. All the material inside of this building is alchemicly immune. So useing alchemy is immpossible. Well nice meeting you Axel but i'm afraid we'll never meet again." -Strider walked away with his metal wolf-

"Oh and Axel before I forget." -Strider pokedhis head in- "You remember howyou said you out ranked me? Yeah not anymore because when you left I took your place and rank so no you don't out rank me. Not anymore at least." -Strider left laughing dementedly. He stepped out the front door and headed to the biggest building pon entry he placed a paper on the front desk- "Come to hand in my report." -A women looked at the paper. "Ok i'll pass this along."- "Thanks." -Strider walked out going to a bar to get a victory drink. He deserved it after the hell those two gave him- "X-Blade alchemist. Why do they always give me the tough ones?"

"No you were allowed to keep your weapons because they won't help you escape. Do you want to know why i'm the prison gaurd? Its because i'm the only one strong enough to open these cell doors because when I have a prisoner in a cell I bend a peice of Alchemicly immune metal around the lock makeing it impossible to just pick the lock and alchemicly immune." -Bear had come to talk a bit being the only gaurd in the building- "Now tell me why'd you guys run from the state?"
