Aaron nods and follows along, extremely curious about Rush.

"No problem" Ace said to Rush.
Ace blinked.
"Hey wait for me!"
He took off to follow Artemus and Aaron.

Rush walked beside the other three organics, studying them with idle curiosity and wondering what powers they'd give him. The rest of his brain boredly began mapping out their current route and comparing it to the path he entered the area with. If they remained on their current course, they'd go around the opposite side of the mountain, which meant he'd have to take a lengthy detour to get back around to the area of the jungle where his Master's lab resided. Rush frowned. Oh well, he had no other choice. Or at least, no other reasonable one.

Not far down the trail, but still too far to be audible, Ray rapidly informed his old friend Mighty on some events that he'd missed as they made their way back his treehouse. "AndsoIwasjustsittingthereplayingmygameandIwasdoingREALLYWELLandthensuddenlyBOOM!! AndatfirstIdidn'tknowwhatothinksoIjustkindastaredandthenIrealizeditwasaSPACESHIP!! No, really!! IMEANITFELLFROMTHESKYRIGHTTHROUGHMYROOFANDLANDEDONMYSATURNANDITWASSTILLHOTANDSMOULDERING!!" Suddenly Ray paused and looked behind them; his shakes had declined by now to twitches. "MIDI, HURRY UP!!"

"I'm coming!" the bat groaned, taking her time at her own pace somewhere behind the two, her wings folded around her shoulders like a cape. She was worn out and sore and regretted what she was going to feel like in the morning...

Mighty was listening quietly. "Wow, a spaceship..." And of course, no one could tell whether he believed Ray or if he was simply humouring him.

He still wasn't sure what to make of his new situation, but Artemus continued along anyway, hoping that some answers would be found as he followed his trail. And then came the long line of chattering from the yellow-furred squirrel he had been bouting with not too long ago. Directing his attention to the direction of the voice, he spots him in the distance, his eyes widening. "....him!" He dashes a split-second after the squirrel, hoping to get a surprise attack on him, charging up a beam of light and immediately firing it at Ray.

"So then Midi and and and... and some girl followed me home and Midi got POSSESSED and--" A bright light suddenly drew the squirrel's attention, and at the sight of the wolf charging straight for him, Ray's pupils constricted with fear. Recoiling with panic, he began clumsily to try to flee, but tripped over his own feet and tumbled to the ground. Crawling backwards until he was stopped by a tree, Ray covered his head with his arms and let out an ear-splitting shriek.

[dice=6] As the night continued to fall and the surroundings became darker, such attacks tended to be... very painfully noticable. In spite of her soreness, in a flash the bat's wings had unfurled and she was leaping at Ray as the attack came at him. "MOVE, YOU IDIOT!" she yelled, shoving him aside. Unfortunately, this placed her in the beam's path causing her to be struck. With a pained yelp she went hurdling into the ground. Oh, there would be HELL to pay when she got back up.[rand=0274066627987729074091277924984141363042666889106169366054457680894]

A ways behind Artemus, Rush watched the unfolding events up ahead with interest. Apparently that was the "yellow squirrel" Art had asked him about. He quickly increased his walking speed in order to get a closer look at what was going on. Artemus appeared hostile to the squirrel, so it was possible a fight would break out, which Rush regarded as a good thing; he'd be able to acquire battle data and perhaps a new weapon from carefully observing and documenting such a fight.

Aaron jumped and drew his shinai. He didn't quite know what was going on yet, but he might have to defend himself or disable someone.

"That's enough!" said Mighty, putting himself between Art.. and.. everyone else. "Calm down. Stop attacking. "

Artemus hardly paid the bat any mind as his attack landed on her, more intent on drawing his offensive towards Ray, and he was in the middle of charging up another shot when Mighty suddenly leapt in. He ceased his motions, looking between the armadillo and the squirrel, that ball of light still pulsating in his hand. "...why are you defending him? Wasn't he attacking you and your friends on the mountain?" He glanced towards Ray once more, studying him carefully - this was definitely not the squirrel he had faced up on Ice Cap. He didn't sense the emerald on his person, either. He stood upright and let the light fade. "...I see. So the emerald has already passed from him. Which means it is free elsewhere, or..." This new information in his mind, Artemus stepped aside of Mighty and continued forward, still intent on following the energy trail of the emeralds.

Ace came up behind Artemus completely oblivious to the entire event that just happened.
"Hey Artemus, is this that squirrel you were talking about that took the emerald?"
He walked over to Ray and crouched over to look at him.
"You know? You don't look like the kind of person would would take control of a powerful emerald thingy"

That was the straw that broke the camel's -- or rather, squirrel's -- back. Ray had already had the living daylights scared out of him by Art's attack, and when this strange new bird walked up and stuck his face directly in his, that was all the trembling, crying, high-strung flying squirrel needed. His fur bristled up as Ace approached, and as he leaned over, Ray let out a small squeak and fainted flat on his back.

"FRIKKIN SUNOVA!" the words bellowed loudly, scaring a few non-anthro birds from the trees around them. "You wanna explain what your problem is asswipe?!" her fur bristled with anger as she watched the wolf walk off. Then her eyes darted over toward the now fainted squirrel and the bird standing over him. "Oh for the LOVE OF!" she snarled, marching up and shoving Ace away from Ray "Everyone BACK AWAY from the squirrel before your asses become the shape of my shoes!" Yeah. She was beyond the point of being nice anymore.

"The emerald made him act that way." He helped Midi clear off the people - careful to stay away from her. Though he wanted to see if Ray was alright and dote on him - it would be better to wait until she had calmed down. He had seen angry women in action.. noteably.. Amy.. yes. He wasn't going there.

Aaron puts away his shinai and hangs his head low as he walks a little closer to Midi. "Sorry about all the trouble. Art there is searching for the Sol emeralds, and he's not very much the sociably adept type..."

Rush frowned, feeling disappointed. That single attack had gotten him SOME battle data, but not nearly enough to simulate a new weapon off of. Still, he was intrigued. This Artemus fellow appeared to be somehow capable of controlling, amplifying and directing light in a powerful projectile attack. Jogging up to walk beside Art, he spoke to the wolf. "Artemus...I have a favor to ask of you."

After getting shoved Ace fell to the ground hitting the back his head creating a lump lump. He got up and dusted off his feathers, gently feeling the lump on his head.
"HEY! What the hell was that for! All I did was look at this guy and he suddenly spazed out! So don't go pushing people around when they didn't do anything! What is wrong with you?!"
Ace rubbed the lump on his head and winced.

Midi turned slowly, her fangs baring, and glared at Ace with a fire lit in her eyes "I. SAID. BACK. AWAY. FROM. THE. SQUIRREL."

"Please listen to the lady," Mighty told him, ready to stop a fight if it broke out... though.. he wasn't quite sure he was ready to face Midi!wrath if need be.

Ray meanwhile remained motionless on the ground behind Midnight, fitting in well with the sticks, rocks, and other non-moving items around him. A thin layer of sweat pricked his brow, and if one were to feel his pulse, they'd note it was going about as fast as a hummingbird's.

No on else made a move, but still, if that made him faint... "We should get him back to his home right away," he told Midi evenly.

(Well, this is what happens when you spend the better part of the week trying to get yourself a job, and then the rest of it actually working that job. Sorry guys.) Artemus remained silent as the situation seemed to explain itself, keeping a safe distance from the more violent winged members of the new group. Indeed, the emerald had passed from the squirrel's possession. And his suspicions were correct - he was an entirely different person without it. They had to be found. He turned to look at Rush when the robo-corgi confronted him, his ice-blue eyes resting on the other's. "...what sort of favor?"

Ace stared right back at Midi not even flintching. And then walked away with *Hmph*. He walked of into the forest and blew up a random rock with a sonic sceam, which was his way to blow off some steam. When walked back to the group he was back to his normal self. He clap his hands together.
"So, whats next?
He said with a smile.
