The Kingdom of Soleanna, was once a beautiful landmark. Only now it was a city in peril, as it burned like mad. Luckily for the people, the streets were being evacuated and taken to a safe location.
@iron@ One of the faithful search and rescue members was Iron the Buck, a guard for the kingdom. He was running around the city trying to find out if anyone else survived the attack from the enemy. "How in the world did this happen..." He asked himself while looking around at the chaos, amazingly he didn't see the battle because he just got back from a trip out of town. But from what he heard, princess Blaze had just disappeared during the battle. The young man had decided that he picked up everyone that was still around. "I guess thats that, time go head back."

 After an indeterminate amount of time spent in the blissful land of the unconscious, Venice was yanked back to to reality by the sensation of his tail being crushed beneath a heavy combat boot. This, understandably, hurt like nobody's business, and elicited from the previously quite happily unaware mink a very loud, very noticeable yelp. "OW!" Venice's eyes popped open, and he flailed around like a fish on a hook for a few seconds before uttering an intelligent-sounding mumble that might have been "What the--?" before flopping bonelessly back to the concrete. Ow. |

@iron@ As the mink yelped, Iron jumped back, quickly removing the said boot from the poor guys, now flattened tail. This one was still alive? Iron just assumed he was another unfortunate victim. But he took pride that he finally found another survivor, and this one looked out of shape too. The deer quickly picked the guy up by pulling his arm behind his neck and over his shoulder, while propping his body up on his feet by lifting his waist with the other. He was roughly the same size as Iron, so carrying him to safety wasn't a large issue. "Hang in there, glad your still breathing...oh and uh sorry about the accident." Iron thought Venice was still out cold, so perhaps his words couldn't reach him. He started to run off to for safety. "Where to..." He was deciding where to help Venice off to.

Venice winced. He was sore all over, and the handling, however gentle, was somewhat painful. The movement had also apparently shifted the muck in his lungs, as he gave in to a long fit of coughing. "Ugh..." Though his eyes were a bit glazed, his thoughts began to clear, and he started to remember what happened. "Blaze...?" he said, a little too loudly, putting a hand to his pounding temple. He couldn't hear very well. "Are you..." more coughing. He didn't feel too well, either. His lungs must have been coated with ash by now. |

@iron@ As Iron started to make his way to the castle, his now designated location. He was shocked to see Venice coughing madly. "Whoa, that didn't sound good at all..." The mink's coughing gave Iron the idea that he inhaled too much smoke, should be natural with all the fire around them. "Wait a minute, Blaze? Princess Blaze?" Iron was surprised that this guy called out her name so improperly, did he personally know the princess? No time to ponder such questions though, he needed to hurry. He started to pick up the pace, but still handled Venice as gently as possible. Eventually they got inside the castle, the first thought on Iron's mind was: getting some help. "Is there a medic here?!" He called out hoping for an answer.

By this point the mink's vision had defogged enough to see the beautifully molded ceiling he knew resided in the grand entry hall of the Soleanna palace, and, more importantly, the face of the person carrying him. Grey, male, entirely the wrong species, antlers-- It definitely wasn't Blaze. So where was she? She wouldn't just leave him face down on the sidewalk without a good reason, and whoever this was would certainly have helped the princess before himself if she were hurt... The tip of his injured tail twitched agitatedly. "...Where's Blaze?" Venice croaked. |

@iron@ Iron looked at Venice as he woke up, the deer said. "Don't speak, you'll only strain yourself more." But he felt he had to answer his question, however with Blaze gone without a trace, he couldn't tell him the truth. Especially with his pain. "I'm sorry, I need to find some help first." He took him down to the medic bay.

 A nearby pile of debris began to rumble slightly. With a sudden energetic surge, fire erupted, causing a minor explosion that scattered the pile's remains and allowed a very familiar, though also fairly dinged up looking, feline metallix to tumble out onto the ground. Having caused the explosion of a hoverpod modified to spew mega muck Maze had unwittingly found herself buried as it brought a stone wall down on top of her, temporarily knocking offline. Her system had only just finally reloaded itself. So now, having freed herself, she uncurled and sprung up to her feet, throwing her talons high in the air with a rather vibrant expression. "TA DA!" she then paused, looking around at her surroundings when she realized the battle seemed to have moved on. "Oh. Everyone left." |

 Venice jerked upright. That sounded like--"Blaze!" In no time at all, the injured mink had squirmed out of the stranger's grasp and attached himself to the purple cat. "I was so worried about you, I didn't know what was going on, and you were hurt and and and--" he coughed again. "Are you okay?" he asked in a small voice, afraid of the answer. |

FLYING MINK TACKLE. Well. Sorta. Maze blinked in surprise at the person she had suddenly found clinging to her. Huh. Blaze. Where was she anyway? Last she'd seen her counterpart has been out fighting using her super form... Now she couldn't even detect the Sol Emeralds anywhere with her radar. Well, worry about that in a second. Deal with clingy minks now. "Like, omigosh," she suddenly prattled, snatching Venice around the middle and giving him a bone-crushing hug. "I, like, totally didn't know you cared!" ... Yeah. Because that's totally the way to deal with him. |

@iron@ The buck ran up to the metal cat, trying to get Venice out. "Wait, stop. You might make him worse!?" This person may look like his princess, Blaze. But obviously she looked more robot like, not to mention the personality to Blaze was about a billion miles off. Could this be her infamous double ganger, Metal Blaze?

"Grk," Venice suddenly found himself in a crushing metal grip, struggling for breath and in a great deal of pain. Wait. Metal? ... Metal. He'd just hugged Metal. The tiniest, horrified 'eep' escaped him, and he felt his muscles give out in shock. His brain followed swiftly thereafter in a litany of oh solaris i'm going to DIEThe person who carried him here, meanwhile, was attempting to free him. |

As the mink fainted in her arms the robocat merely blinked in surprise. Yet in spite of this, and in spite of Iron's protests, she shrugged and continued to absently snuggle the limp body like some kind of doll. "Hmmmm," she hummed spacily. "Where'd Neggy and Brizzy-boo go?" |

@iron@ Clearly she wasn't going to budge, so Iron had decided to try to force her to let go. The elk took one of her arms with both of his arms and tugged madly on it. "Let him go!" He said while pulling back.

[dice=6] No answer. While she didn't particularly expect one from Iron, what struck the metallix as odd was the fact attempting to contact Nega yielded no results. For that matter, she couldn't even get a lock on the signal from his negamobile. Just in the same way she couldn't get a lock on any of the Sol Emeralds... "Hmmmmmuh?" she began to hum thoughtfully, only to cut short when Iron yelled and began trying to tug her arm from Venice. Maze complied - more quickly and easily than the buck had been ready for, and as a result Venice's prone form wound up toppling onto the ground with a hard thud.[rand=3009147617685968547745339643834880368100917920665936697855286812] |

@iron@ Success! At the very least, Venice is out of her grasp. So the buck pulled up the mink, and put him on his back like he was giving him a piggy back ride. "Phew, close one." He then looked to Maze angered. "Are you crazy? You almost crushed him to death!" Maybe she didn't seem to realize that she was, but still.

The feline metallix giggled at Iron and shrugged slightly, completely unfazed by his apparent anger. "He hugged me first, silly." |

@iron@ This woman was a joke, she wasn't like princess at all. Iron just turned away and started walking off with Venice on his back. "I don't have time for this, I need to find a doctor for him." After the "hug of death" Venice might be in worse shape then before.

"Hey!" Maze said, tagging along beside Iron to his undoubted chagrin. "Like, what happened to Neggy and Brizzy? It was, like, a total warzone here!" |

Post by Mage on Aug 30, 2008 20:30:36 GMT -5
@iron@ The buck just looked at Metal Blaze confused. "Neggy? Brizzy?" Obviously he had no idea who she was talking about. As for outside... "I have no idea what happened, or who's out there at the moment. Right now the kingdom is in danger, thats all I know."

"You know, Nega and Blaze?" Maze said, placing both arms behind her head and putting a small skip in her step. "Brizzy was, like, all flying around with the Sol Emeralds and junk. And Neggy was helping her." |

@iron@ Nega and the princess? This was quite the shock to Iron. After the battle, she just vanished. Iron had no idea what happened himself. "...The princess is gone?" Then there was Nega, he helped Blaze? Things didn't make sense to Iron. He just looked off lost in thought. "..."

Venice groaned and reached up to feel the lump on his head. That hadn't been there before...and he could have sworn his headache hadn't been nearly this bad, either. Or had he even had one? Did it matter? He couldn't seem to care while his brain was apparently attempting to break out of his skull. His ribs ached with every step the stranger took, probably bruised or worse. When had he..? The mink groaned again, and dropped him arm. His everything hurt too much to bother with anything remotely resembling a question. If only he could just pass out again, that would make things so much easier. Then he spotted Metal, walking nonchalantly beside them, hands behind her head like she hadn't just almost killed him with them. Venice, unable to fight, flee, or question her presence, and too hurt to care, simply stared at her. |

"Mmhmm," the robocat answered absently, apparently now very interested in the sky above for some reason. "She must have, like, taken the emeralds with her wherever she went or something cuz they're toootally not around here." Her head leaned over to one side, not even noticing the mink beside her was now awake, much less was now staring at her. In lieu of Nega she had been trying to contact her brother, Eiffel. And, just like Nega, she couldn't locate his signal. How very odd. " I need to find Nega..." she mumbled to herself out loud. |

@iron@ The buck was still lost in thought, but then snapped out of it when something important hit him. "Ah, thats right!" He looked over at Venice. "Come on, lets get you to safety." He then turned over to Maze. She was obviously pretty dangerous if left alone, she was working for Nega after all. Then again, Iron isn't in a position to pick a fight and she isn't doing the same so...The buck took his window of opportunity and started to sneak off.

At that suggestion the mink mumbled something into the back of the stranger's neck that might have been a 'thank you', though it sounded more like an apology. Venice's eyes remained fixed on Maze, but his thoughts began to turn inward. This was all wrong. He had come here to save people. But...he hadn't even seen anyone who needed help. Except... Blaze...He hadn't been able to help her, either...he hadn't been able to help anyone. And now here he was, another hapless victim of this catastrophe, unable to do anything. If he'd had the energy he would have found a wall to smack his head into; lacking that, he settled for burying his face ashamedly into the stranger's back. |

[dice=2] (1: follows, 2: leaves)Noticing the movement out of the corner of her eye, Maze turned and idly followed after them, whether or not they may have wanted her to. It wasn't as though she was doing anything wrong at the moment, right? Inwardly, she continued her conversation... <Oh, there you are, Fifi!> the metallix greeted enthusiastically. <Like, are you alright? I totally got buried under a wall,> a giggle. <I, like, don't see any explodey things around here either. You wouldn't, like, happened to know what happened to Neggy and Brizzy would you?>[rand=052518575055532379308965013554176477857367542974037774648437766155] |

Nothing~> ... pause. ... <Hey, wait a second, I think I--> Out of nowhere, the robotic rubbermonkey -plowed- into the Mazebot, crashing them both along the ground before they came to a halt. Was it enough to damage Blaze's robotic doppelganger? Hardly. But it was enough of a wake-up call to get Maze's attention really quick-like. "... see you~!!!" |

@iron@ When Eiffel crashed into Maze, causing a large CLANG might I add, he turned his head around finding yet another robot with Maze. "Where'd he come from?!" This started to make Iron worry, if there's more of them then that only means more danger. Then again they aren't attacking yet, what were they up to? Of course, the buck ignored the situation and went down the hall quickly.
