"A Trayven man. Another scout, I'd guess, someone like you but.. he was a complete terror.
And that thing.. it wasn't a beast." [i]Clea added, sighing.[/i]
"Twas.. a woman. White of garb and tall. She carried a younger woman, a screaming one.. no, she drug her. The screamer yelled.. your name, I think.
I'm sorry, but.."
English
-
Rose's face went pale then. "I need to find that woman." Niki, that's who it had to be. She needed to find her, now. But a gun to the back of her head made that hard.
-
"...I can help. I.. I think." [i]Clea lowered the pistol, sighing.[/i] "I really haven't gone through this place much. But I can get you through, I promise."
-
Rose slowly stood then, taking the chance to do so. "Well, what are we waiting for? I have someone important to find.,
-
"We should pack some of this stuff up, first. I'm.. er.. a traitor. Technically speaking."
-
"Well, so far your fine in my book. Just don't shoot me in the back, is all. Wouldn't go by well with the person I'm looking for." She shrugged, glancing around the camp again.
-
[i]At that, Clea would nod as she began to pack her things up from the camp, though she would hide her tent away in a bush.[/i] "So.. this Niki's the Trayven princess. Right?"
-
"I suppose so. Special to me though, for other reasons." She waited, and once Clea finished, she motioned to lead the way.
-
[i]Clea would nod as she would begin to traverse through the red and white woods, her boots crunching over the crimson leaves underneath them. In the distance, muffled roars and the flapping of wings would be heard, as great shadows rose and fell in the clouds.[/i] [i]In the distance, they would be able to see some sort of ivory tower, or at least the top of it. Clea kneeled down, studying the tower before the earth began to quiver.[/i] "What the.." [i]Without warning, the whole forest would begin to awaken, as birds escaped their nest as the tremors began, beasts rushing through the trees as if running. The quakes seem to come from the tower itself, before it then exerted a beautiful, white energy, of which had begun to pierce and contort the sky itself. A familiar energy: Niki's runic energy, something that Rose would recognize.[/i]
-
Something wasn't right, that was her guess, something must be going horribly wrong. And she needed to get into that tower. "Clea! I need a way into that tower, now!" Niki was in there; she was so close yet so far...
-
"Jesus.. okay, c'mon!" [i]Clean yelled, her pistol drawn as she began to sprint towards the ivory tower. The foundation of the white stone began to quiver and ignite with pulsing blue energy, as screams escaped the tower. Screams of agonizing pain.[/i] [i]Niki.[/i] [i]As the two grew closer, the air would shimmer before all fell silent. This was familiar to Rose, but not to Clea.[/i] "What's.. what's happening?"
-
Rose's face went pale, as she forced her way into the tower, her armor forming into a shield again on her arm, busting down any door in her path. Whatever was going on, it wasn't good, and she needed to stop it.
-
[i]When Rose entered the first door, she was thrown back by a sudden energy.[/i] [i]She skidded against the red earth as Clea came next to her, helping her up as the wall in their path came: a bright red being, of some kind. Their skin was made of a rubbery essence, stretching and contorting and constantly shifting into place. Light, icy blue eyes met the two, as the being would groan as it raised it's fists.[/i] "What in the fuсk.." [i]Clea muttered.[/i] [url=https://youtu.be/DgC9GIbJv7Q]Omega Boss Theme - Wretched Weaponry (Instrumental) - 5:14[/url] [i]Omega would shift it's form then, it's chest gleaming with raw energy as it would begin to construct a wall from mere particles. It was trying to block them.[/i]
-
Rose did the first thing she could think of; not fire her weapon, but instead shift her shield into a massive spike. Shooting both arms forward, the drill shot forward at the beast with immense force. Nothing would keep her from her Niki. Nothing.
-
[i]Omega would shift down to a knee as it would slam it's fist into Rose's stomach, though nothing more. It sent Rose backwards, yet the creature seemed to be.. defending, and sticking to that defense only.[/i] "Gods, hold on," [i]Clea aimed her firearm and began to shoot, bullets whistling through the red figurine and tearing through it's body. Omega groaned in what could be described as pain, yet continued that wall - now having to rebuild. Perhaps just distracting it could work.[/i]
-
"Clea! Keep it distracted, I'm gonna find a way around." At that, she brought her armor back to her, the massive metal spike possibly ripping through the being with its back turned. The metal morphed back to her body after, taking shape once more. Then, she attempted to find a way around the being, an exit or a way up.
-
"Yeah, sure!" [i]Clea would fire twice at the creature's being, while it would falter at the sudden rushes of pain, returning to a single knee. Rose had.. some options, though. She could try to get past Omega again, or she could scale the tower, leaving Clea to deal with the threat.[/i]
-
She growled, hating herself if she where to leave Clea behind, the woman had helped so far. Raising her own rifle, she shot at Omega's head, aiming to hit eyes, or if possible, the creatures brain.
-
[i]The creature's head would explode in a flurry of blue juice and cyan brain matter, it's head flying back as a feminine scream left it's gaping mouth. Yet suddenly, the head would fly back towards Rose, the bullet suddenly whistling through the remains of it's head - towards Clea.[/i] [i]The round would punch through the Tribune woman's stomach as she cried out in pain, falling to the ground. The red being would begin to approach Rose now, as it raised it's hand: spikes flew upwards from the ground, angled like a wall facing Rose, except flying towards her.[/i]
-
Rose panicked then, instinctively yelling "Niki!" when the spikes came for her, there was no way she could stop them, but she did try and find a way around. Anything would do at this point. Most likely she wouldn't be able to flipping the spikes to hit Omega, but it was worth a shot, right? With Clea injured, and if the woman died, it would weigh on her conscious, her fault, for pushing the fugitive to help.
-
[i]It was worth a shot, indeed.[/i] [i]The spikes would freeze and quiver as if in agony, as Omega would then release an agonizing, feminine scream as it clutched it's head, golden light mixing with the blue. Niki's magic.. she was fighting back, against whatever had taken hold of her, by countering Omega.[/i] [i]Seeing if the spikes would be manipulated would be.. game-changing.[/i]
-
Taking the opportunity, she rushed forward and slipped past a few, smacking roughly four with her hands and then trying to control them, by angling them at Omega and then trying to shoot them at the beast. Niki was still there.. Good, good. Hang in there..
-
[i]The spikes would slam into Omega's being, forcing the creature against the wall as the spikes pushed through it's being. The feminine screaming picked up in agony, as words began escaping it's being. Niki's words.[/i] "[i]Rose- ROSE! U-Up the tower, take the girl with you-[/i]" [i]Omega's screeches cut off Niki as the blue light returned to it's eyes, yet it was trapped. In the background, Clea tried to rise up.[/i]
-
She listened, running over to where Clea was, scooping the woman up and then with a bit more effort, took any path that lead up the tower.
-
[i]A pair of stairs would lead upwards, allowing Rose to carry Clea up. The red creature, Omega, remained screaming and attempting to free itself, only to remain trapped.[/i] [i]When the two reached the top floor, Rose would find two familiar faces.[/i] [i]Niki, and the woman in the alleyway.[/i] "[i]You.[/i]" [i]The latter of the two, now hooded in a brilliant white hood.[/i] "You shouldn't be here, neither of you. No matter." [i]She hoisted Niki up, bringing a knife to the girl's throat.[/i] "Drop your tools of destruction. Or she dies."
-
"Can't drop anything when my hands are full with carrying someone else, so guess what bitch, I can't do anything either way." She growled. That damned woman again, this time, she would kill her. And make her suffer.
