The Agnimitra

[Dragonhatchling]

Shadow had spotted the other dragon right as Koi had mentioned it, already making her way toward them. I'll cover above them... they'll notice me otherwise. She let Koi know, pumping her wings to get higher above the clouds. Here they shouldn't be able to see her as easily but she could still make them out pretty well, minus the occasional cloud that was too thick to see through. Shadow's shadows were thin right now, to reduce the chance of being spotted. If anyone needed extra cover, she could lend them but right now thought it best to seem like a normal dragon.

[tai_kouen26]

Yue could somewhat sense the other dragons now on their trail, not at all liking how close they were. And especially disliking how they were steadily getting closer and closer. He listened to what Arasi had to say, giving a quite grunt of agreement before surging up into the clouds with a beat of his powerful wings. He flew higher into the middle of the clouds, trying his best to blend in to them. Though his coloring would not do quite well with the white clouds, the further along he went, the darker the clouds were becoming which would hopefully prove to be good camouflage for them.

Shadow watched from above the clouds, noticing her target had moved to the middle of them. She growled to herself before noticing the clouds were getting darker. Perfict! She thought, flying steadily above them as the clouds grew even darker.

Shadow could still see them, being part shadow-dragon had it's perks; like being able to see in dark places. This she used to keep track of her target, waiting for the right moment to drop in and say hi. Of course she would first wait for an ok from Koi, and until then, Shadow stayed back enough that she wouldn't be spotted but so she could still see them.

((Great. I'm adding in my two cents on the matter here where everyone can see which is that I am waiting for Skarx to post so then I can do one nice big post of a reply to everyone. Also to help keep things linear with the two different events going on.))

[Skarx]

((Hello, I am back now. Was very very sick. I will post very soon do not worry))

Despite Sayuk being troublesome as usual, they managed to make it back to London in one piece. Kira welcomed the warmer weather after being in a freezing wasteland. The Gem was safely wrapped up in her arms, Sen and Kasai were taken to the infirmary, Sayuk was commanded to stay by her in human form and not do anything, and the rest were free to do as they wanted.

 

First things first, Adam was waiting to hear from her what had happened. He noticed their arrival and was already outside to meet them by the time everyone were just about to go their own ways. He looked to Kira, sort of gestured with his hands, waiting for her to speak.

 

She didn't even have to say anything, she just showed him the Gem and he knew what it was. Such relief came over his face at knowing the Gem was in their possession. With this Dark could be stopped, everything could go back to the way it was. How they were suppose to do that with the Gem, they weren't positive, but magical things like this always somehow worked like it should when the situation called for it. The important thing now was to keep it hidden from Dark still until they knew for sure where he was.

They see us, she informed Yue and Bane, pulling the dark clouds towards them with her powers to gain some cover quicker. However, Koi brought a dragon with wind powers with her, and the wind was shifted by her to be against Yue, Arasi, and Bane. Bane had to deal with Koi's water stopping his fire. But at least the fire meeting water caused more disturbance in the air; made the wind dragon work harder at what they were doing. And a hurricane would be greatly appreciated right about now.

 

Yue, don't let yourself get turned around in the hurricane, and don't fight it either. Ride with the hurricane to go where we need to, also get as high as you can when the hurricane does appear.

 

She warned Bane too, and with that she got the hurricane started, using all the powers being flung through the air to her advantage and the already amassing clouds. Well, it worked better than she hoped, and a nasty hurricane whipped up. Funneling down and striking the ocean, unleashing its wrath of strong winds.

 

From that point on, either side was pretty much powerless to combat against it, especially the earth and fire dragon. They were grabbed by the hurricane and became caught in its spiral. The wind dragon managed to run away, deciding she didn't want this anymore. All that was left was Koi and Shadow, who weren't able to do much against the hurricane themselves except do their best to fly with the strong winds.

 

Arasi clung desperately to Yue so she wouldn't be blown off his back, hoping Bane would be able to hang on as well.

 

((and then just have Yue, Arasi, and Bane get thrown out where they need to go by whatever means. Koi and Shadow get shot the other way.))

[tai_kouen26]

Yue gave a grunt in response to what Arasi had to say, still flying steady and trying to remain as calm as possible even as they were being followed. Though even he had to admit, as much as he hated to, that the sudden wind resistance that they were suddenly getting did catch him off guard. And though he did flail for a moment, he did managed to catch his balance and get back up to the preferred altitude. As much as he really wanted to discharge a few lightning strikes toward the group following them, he could risk it. Not only would it drain him of energy, but he would also risk something going wrong with the weather. And he couldn't produce it from his own body otherwise he would risk shocking and, quite possibly, killing his two passengers currently trying to slow their pursuers down. So as much as he wanted to, he couldn't do anything but focus on his task of getting them where they needed to go and flying steady.

However, with the mention of the term 'hurricane', everything other than him still flying seemed to freeze. Hurricane? He cursed in his head. He had never been good with hurricanes. Even now that he was older and more experienced. He had always had a, in his words, irrational fear of hurricanes. Even since he had first experienced one as a child.

Before he could even say anything to her, the hurricane was already forming. Oh gods...He was not going to like this. He already knew. But he would have to endure it unless they wanted to get caught. He had to try his hardest not to panic in the winds of the vicious hurricane, his past fears starting to rise to the forefront of his mind. and if things couldn't get any worse for him, he was suddenly dragged into the swirl of the disaster, Yue taken my surprise by the sudden grab.

After a few long moments, they were suddenly flung out of the tunnel of wind. Yue tried to right himself, but after being flung at such a fast speed out of the mouth of the storm, he found that he couldn't. It wasn't long before they suddenly crash landed in the sandy short of a beach, the sand doing nothing to help cushion the landing. And Yue could have sword that he had heard, and felt, multiple bones break as he crashed before suddenly passing out. What was with all these crash landings?! Apparently the hard crash had broken his left arm and wing.

[Kira1]

After they were flung away from the hurricane, which went along its merry way, Yue had no control over his flying. With the gained speed from the hurricane, they made a fast crash into a beach. The force of the landing knocked Arasi and Bane from Yue's back. Quickly Arasi prepared herself for the crash landing, rolling as she hit the sand, but she could tell she would be really bruised after this. Slowly she got up, catching her breath after that to bring her self back to her senses. She looked up to see Yue laying there, having reverted back to his human form (('cause that's what happens to Agnimitra a lot plus 'cause I say so lol)) and not moving to get up. Ignoring her soreness, she raced over to him to check the extent of his injuries. As she gently checked the side she assumed he landed on, his left, she could feel all the breaks in the bone. It was pretty bad too, and there were signs that his wing in his dragon form had been broken because of how bad his arm was all the way up to the shoulder.

She had to make a splint for his arm, so she sprung to her feet and took off through the sand, soon ditching her shoes since they just weighed her down as the sand poured into them. Luckily she found a long slim piece of dry driftwood and brought it back over to Yue. She broke it to the right length and left by his arm as she tried to figure out what she would use to hold it on his arm. There wasn't much except her own clothes, so with hardly any hesitation she ripped the lower half of her shirt off to begin to tie the splint to his arm. She still needed more so it was lucky she was wearing long jeans. She tore those up the knees to use that to finish tying up the splint. Once that was finished, she looked up to see how Bane was faring. She hoped he was alright, otherwise she would have two people to carry, and she already wasn't a strong flier.

[Dragonhatchling]

Shadow growled to herself once she felt a change in the air. Something was up. She realized the wind dragon Koi had brought was trying to help, though the dragon also felt something different. Something more dangerous. She only had to wait a few more minutes to sense that the danger was with the wind and that she happened to be in the pathway of it. Hurricanes were not Shadow's specialty but she knew enough that being caught against the wind but also closer to the middle was not an ideal situation at all.

 

The shadow dragon turned herself around with much effort, gliding on the currents for a few moments in hopes of sensing a way out of this. Finding none, Shadow made a desperate attempt to contact Koi but was unable to do so as the storm became stronger. A large gust spun Shadow around in her efforts to combat the wind to change direction. This tired the dragon more but that would not have made a difference. Another gust in a different direction flung her out of the tunnel, she guessed the storm had pushed her toward the middle where the opposing currents created a somewhat calm states as they fought each other elsewhere. To her dismay, she had actually been flung away from the mass at a greater speed than her wings could handle. Ground was showing up fast from under her and Shadow knew she needed to find the medium of speed and balance in order to survive the crash.

Shadow growled loudly for a moment before closing her eyes, her failed attempts at reducing the speed had brought more pain to her joints than they had to actually helping. She knew surviving this was small and hoped to land somewhere softer than what she last saw. The dragon crashed into a shallow section of water first, sending a large mixture of water and sand flowing over her body as the momentum forced it up onto a rocky beach. One of her wings had caught the water first, dragging underneath her body for a moment before the joint snapped. Shadow could hardly tell that it was still connected and dared not open her eyes as the mixture washed over her while the momentum turned her over from the sudden catch. Sand was flooding into her face as this happened. An unlodged rock smashed into her forehead as her body lurched forward, now on her left side, knocking her unconscious as she slowed to a stop. Her dragon form dissipated to be replaced by the human form that was half buried by rocks and sand. The ocean still lapped at the mound as it settled to the usual rhythm it played.

 

((didn't know what else to do... though the beach she landed on is more rocks than it is sand... ))

[Jadeclaw]

Blake breathed in deeply as he made his way towards the house. At least it was warmer here then it had been in Antarctica, he wasn't made for the cold that ice dragons could live inside of so easily. He spread out his arms as he continued to walk, trying to soak up the sun's heat as much as he could. He tilted his head back at blew a puff of fire, watching as it went up into the air. He watched as it went higher and higher up before disintegrating since there was nothing to fuel it. Jade walked up behind him then put a hand on top of his head as if she were going to pat him, but she just kept it there. "This seems to be a bit of good luck for us."

Blake gave a short nod then walked into the safe house before starting to head down the hall. He wanted to relax now that the Gem was in safe hands, in their hands. Jade didn't follow him though, instead she stayed outside and sat down on the steps that led into the building. She was still thinking about everything that had happened to her within the last few days. She looked up at the sky, feeling kind of nervous though about what had happened with Koi. What if they really were going to kill her?

[Kira1]

It was just her luck that Bane was unconscious, laying in the sand about twenty feet away from where she and Yue had landed. She carefully checked him over and it seemed that the worse of injuries was that he would be very bruised and sore for awhile. She placed his arm over her shoulders so she could lift him up and carry him back over to where Yue was. After laying him down, she took a look around where they were to get her bearings so she knew which way to fly off in. They needed to get to London as soon as possible, as that was where a safe house was located. Where exactly in London, she had no idea, but she was hoping that Yue would wake up by the time they get there so he could show her. That is, if he knew as well. Well, she guessed they would just have to wing it (haha, that was a bad pun).

Arasi changed into her dragon form before picking up Yue and Bane carefully in her front paws, spreading out her wings to take off into the sky. She couldn't feel any trace of an Agnimitra following them, so she assumed it was okay for now if she didn't fly so fast and tire herself out quickly.

Kira left the Gem in the hands of Adam who could keep it hidden until it was needed. She herself went to a quiet place where she could just sit and rest.

((i don't have much for you guys at the safe house to do until I get Arasi there >.>))

Koi fell into the ocean after getting blown off course, plunging deep under the water. Luckily she was built to be able to hold her breath for long periods of time. She swam with the current to the shore of some small island, shifting back into her human form once she was in shallow water. After taking a moment to take in her surroundings and see that there was no one around, she reached her mind out to speak to Shadow.

You're not dead, are you?

Yue, though unconscious for a bit after the intense, bone crunching crash, was in a terrible amount of pain. At least, judging by the expression on his face he was. He gave a few grunts of pain whenever he was feeling his arm moved, jarring the broken bones a bit and causing spike of pain to shoot up his arm. He settled back down a bit once his arm was splinted, his expression softening a bit as the pain became a bit more...manageable. Of course he didn't feel himself being lifted up in the least bit once one of his two companions changed and carried them off. But it was only a few minutes later into their continued flight when he woke up. He groaned a bit, groggily opening his eyes. It took him away to notice that they weren't on land at the moment. However, he was quickly reminded of the extent of his injuries when he tried to shift a bit, letting out a hiss of pain when his bones shifted painfully. He cursed in his native language.

[Dragonhatchling]

((Tis alright Kira... I understand how being overlooked can be easy ))

 

Shadow groaned as she came to her senses, receiving a mouthful of sand in the process. She spat it out immediately, coughing up some remnants. Her body was half buried, making it hard enough for her to get out with the use of only one arm after she quickly found her left arm had been completely dislocated as well as broken quite badly. Not to mention it also happened to be trapped under a rock.

 

Once the Agnimitra had mostly freed herself she sensed Koi's voice in her head, hardly realizing it was Koi at first. No... though lost I don't think I'm dead. Unless we're both dead of course... She responded, stopping as soon as she tried to lift the rock trapping her arm. She growled in frustration, more so to forget the immense amount of pain that had caused in her whole body. Obviously a dislocation and a broken arm wasn't all that was broken. Are you near at all or what? I don't see anything but rocks and a small patch of sand which I happen to be in... and, of course, more blasted rocks. Shadow asked Koi after a few more tries of lifting the rock, soon realizing that ribs had been broken as well. Though the ribs didn't seem as bad as her arm at the moment.

 

Shadow eventually flipped the rock over, searching around for something to keep her arm at least a little more stable. Rocks were plenty wherever she had crashed. Plants and pretty much anything else were rare. But so was sand. The only good amount of sand was what she had washed up onto the rocky island from her crash, everything else was more rocks. Big rocks and small rocks. Nothing of much help to Shadow's condition as this made it even harder for her throbbing head to comprehend walking. She had noticed after some time that a gash had opened on her forehead, dripping some blood wherever she went. I had to land on a rocky world didn't I? She thought to herself, ripping off some of her torn clothing and tying it around her head to hopefully slow the bleeding. She would have done the same for her arm, but Shadow wasn't about to try to relocate her shoulder without something to splint the broken bones and keep her arm straight while it was tied near her body.

[Kira1]

I am alive, and I do not believe I am too far from you, she replied, shifting again to her dragon form and jumped straight up into the sky. She scanned the surrounding islands from her high viewpoint, seeing if she could spot Shadow anywhere. Slowly she drifted along, eventually spotting a lone figure on a rocky spit of land and it was obviously Shadow down there. Koi spiraled down, landing on the rocks a safe distance from Shadow before shifting back to her human form. After closing the distance between them, Koi took in Shadow's appearance and surmised there were many broken bones to be dealt with.

"We need to relocate that shoulder," Koi stated, and without even waiting for Shadow to protest or ready herself, Koi swiftly moved it back into place. She did steady Shadow's arm as well, 'cause she noticed the others' arm was broken as well, and so she did her best to try to soothe the pain with cold water. She let the water encompass Shadow's arm, gently flowing around.

 

Don't try to move, since as you've probably already assumed, your arm is broken, Arasi said to him when she felt Yue shifting in her grasp. Though, do you have any idea where in London we can find the resistance? she inquired, hoping that perhaps her question would be a distraction from the pain. Also, Bane is out cold, though he has no severe injuries. I'm fine, since your fall kinda broke mine, she chuckled sheepishly at that.

[tai_kouen26]

Yue seemed to frown a bit at the pain, but otherwise didn't react to hearing Arasi's voice in his head. I figured as much. I felt the bones break before I passed out. Though that doesn't mean that I didn't feel the pain while I was unconscious... He grumbled slightly at that before giving a small, exasperated sigh. I suppose that's just my luck... He turned his head a bit to see her before giving a small pleasant, but pained smile. Though I suppose it was somewhat good in the long run. At least two of us aren't injured. I'm certainly glad to see that you are alright~

[Dragonhatchling]

Shadow winced and glowed slightly as Koi fixed her shoulder. She would've moved if she knew it didn't need any help. A dislocated shoulder and broken arm were not two things she wanted to carry around though.

"Thanks..." She said as her arm's pain diminished little by little until it seemed to be a dull ache. Either it was Koi, the water, both or just her mind but the Agnimitra had noticed a difference. One that was welcomed too. "So where do you suppose we are?" She asked after looking Koi over. The other didn't seem as bad off. Lucky too, she didn't seem to have landed on a rocky beach.

[Kira1]

If Arasi was in her human form, her cheeks would have been bright red at that comment.

Well, I have no idea where exactly I should be headed, she replied, changing the subject, All I know is that we need to head to London, which is pretty far.

 

---

 

"Somewhere in the islands above Australia," she answered, determining that she had done enough with her powers on Shadow's arm and let the water fall to the ground. "With your broken arm I'll have to fly us back there," she walked away from Shadow, taking on her dragon form, crouching low for the other and waited for Shadow to climb onto her back.

Edited December 21, 2011 by Kira1

[Dragonhatchling]

Shadow felt odd climbing onto Koi's back. She would have gladly flown with Koi herself but she wasn't foolish. A broken arm wasn't anything to make light of, especially when it hindered the ability to fly. She settled comfortably onto Koi's scales, careful not to hinder any of her carrier's movement ability either. "Thank you again. It feels odd doing this though..." She commented, soon letting the other know she was ready for a flight whenever Koi felt fit.

[tai_kouen26]

Yue seemed to pause at that, staying silent for a few moments before speaking again. Well in all honesty...I am not sure where to go other than our desired destination should be London...However, once we get there, we will need to move quickly. We might find a few leads once we get there and hopefully we will be able to find them as quickly as possible...even with this...hindrance of mine... he said, grumbling a bit to himself about his broken arm.

[Kira1]

It doesn't bother me, Koi simply replied, taking off into the sky when Shadow was ready. Once they had returned to the base, Koi took Shadow to the infirmary so she could be healed by their healers. Now that Shadow was in their care, Koi had shifted back to her human form and went to report to Dark to let him know. Of course, he wasn't terribly happy about hearing three Agnimitra escape from them, but he hardly felt that it was going to make a difference, since after all, they had amasses more Agnimitra than the resistance had. Koi nodded in agreement and was dismissed. However, she felt like she had to do something about it.

 

"Now, don't move it too much for awhile as it still needs some time to rest," the healer told Shadow once she was done using her powers to mend the bones back into their proper place. "It'll probably still be sore as well, so be careful. And no flying anytime soon."

 

---

 

That wasn't exactly reassuring but hopefully the Agnimitra in London would find them and bring them to the base. After all, Arasi had the bargaining chip of that she knew where Dark was located and the ins and outs of his base. That was certainly something she knew the resistance wanted.

After about three days, with breaks at night to give Arasi's wings a rest, they arrived in London to begin their search. It was lucky enough for them that upon arriving Arasi caught the feeling of other Agnimitra and quickly followed it. It brought them to the country side part of London, covered in big fields and random patches of forest with a few big houses here and there along with small towns.

"I think it might be somewhere around here," Arasi said as she and Yue walked down the empty dirt roads. She carried Bane on her back as Yue walked along beside her.

[Dragonhatchling]

Shadow resisted the urge to leave the healers as they insisted to work on her injuries. She knew better and stayed, if only to make sure nothing was too serious. When the no flying rule was mentioned, she couldn't help but growl a little. Flying was something Shadow enjoyed and turned out to be one of the few mostly accepted things anyone might enjoy.

The Agnimitra ended up leaving soon after, in search of not only some food but also Koi. She wanted to know what was going on next and if anything could be done to help. She felt responsible for most of what had happened. Especially Arasi's turning. First though, Shadow decided to grab a quick bite to eat.

[Dragonhatchling]

((BUMP))

[tai_kouen26]

Yue glanced at Arasi occasionally to see how she was doing as they walked through the country sides while having to carry the large male around. Again that useless feeling had pooled in his gut. Head he not stiffened up and choked during the hurricane, they probably would not have had this problem. He sighed, but kept pace with Arasi. Even if one of his arms was broken, he could still be useful with the other just in case something came up. Though he could really say the same thing about flying when it came to his broken wing.
