Back In The Air
At the front of the zeppelin the group had been hard at work, the two resistance members were teaching them some basic self defense maneuvers which Alexander seemed all too quick to pick up. Training with Anderson he’d slam him, evade him, and toss him around effortlessly. That was until-
“Aye quit being a prick Alex, ya know you’re not that fast.” Ratchet called out to Alexander, leaning against the bar drinking with Logan. He looked at her with a glare for calling his son a prick, she didn’t give a care to nor about it, focusing more on their training. Alexander smiled looking at her and laughing a bit as he wiped the sweat off his head.
“I mean the first thing they taught us was to use everything at your disposal, which means I’m following the rules. No enemy is gonna hold back everything on an opponent if they’re-”
THUNK!
“-smart.” Alexander stood away from the guy and was huffing.185Please respect copyright.PENANAz2RoFYtvTo
“You okay man?” He put a hand out to Anderson and he slapped his hand away.
“Ya got lucky kid, I can’t go all out otherwise I’d hurt you.” He gets up and dusts himself off before heading over to the girl.185Please respect copyright.PENANAbiH0n0ub9B
“Hmph.”
“Easy Anderson, we need someone skilled to run with our platoon anyway. They’re Omoths, we’ve always talked about needing their race and now we have them. Let’s not act like we’re new to this.”
“I’m the strongest member of the resistance and our leader, I worked for this. Omoths aren’t like the rest of us Skoberi, plus for an Omoth he’s weird. Their father follows the play of their race, quiet, focused on the younger ones or in this case the weaker ones and just observant.” Anderson made his observations.
“Ghng…” Vivian looked over at Vince confused for a moment, he sounded like he was in pain.
“Are you okay?”
“M-Mhm…I’m just… Ngh!” Vince groaned more and fell to his knees, Meatless ran over and slid to a stop.
“FRIEND ARE YOU OKAY? DO YOU REQUIRE JUICE? HUGS? HANDSHAKES? MS VIVIAN HUG HIM!”
“Huh? Uh okay? Vince uhm co-”
“GHNGH!! NGHAAAAAAAAH!!!” Suddenly Vince began to glow a bright glow and then appeared to vanish. Everyone looked around confused by the sudden disappearance, then Logan stopped, soon Alex stopped, leaving Meatless, Ashley, Anderson and Skoberi confused.
“Aaaah… Heh heh ha ha ha.” Vivian heard a voice behind her causing her to be a bit scared by the sudden sound behind her, jumping back she began to glow a pink aura and examined the creator of said voice. Behind her squatting on the railings of their zeppelin ride was a boy. He had blue skin, a long lightly fluffed tail, a white shredded shirt, a horn, one golden, another silver, long pointy ears, a slash across his nose, and a similar outfit to Vince but only the pants, shoes, and the artifact stayed.185Please respect copyright.PENANA0bt6BoXF1G
“Feels good.” He said flexing his arm showing some muscle and grinning.
BAMF!
In a puff of smoke he vanished before everyone’s eyes, appearing beside Ratchet he laughed but teleported away the second she swung at him, appearing again and again pestering everyone and evading them as they tried to catch him. He flipped Ashley, tripped Meatless, tossed Skoberi, and then tried Logan…185Please respect copyright.PENANA5ImKD3UJpP
“Nevermind.” He didn’t try Logan instead he just ran barely dodging being grabbed. Next attempt was Vivian, running at her he’d smirk and then freeze in place standing stunned.185Please respect copyright.PENANA0GPM46Fa4y
“A-Atti-”
“Down.” Vivian spoke and he knelt down.185Please respect copyright.PENANAdLyeh6BYe4
“What have you done to Vince?!”
“Nothing! It was my tu-GAH!” He was tackled by Alexander and held down, growling angrily he teleported again but Alex kept catching up to him.
“BOTH OF YOU STOP!” Ratchet shouted and both boys stopped fighting.185Please respect copyright.PENANAGH18LQeicz
“Now, what happened?”
“Like I said, its my turn. That’s all it is.” Soon everyone gathered up and listened to him speak about how he and Vince were two sides of the same coin, one heads, the other tails, one an Angel one a Devil. Quite simple.185Please respect copyright.PENANAhgxNSYXKGW
“If one of us keeps hold on the body for too long we’ll combust and go boom. So we need to switch occasionally, that’s really all it is.”
“So Vince isn’t gone, just-?”
“Sleeping. Kid needs his rest, so once his side is filled up he’ll come back up and I’ll swap out. But I’m pretty sure where we’re going I’d be better suited for the situation. Wouldn’t you two say?” He leaned his head back looking towards Skoberi and Anderson.
“Absolutely not, the resistance doesn’t work with Demons. We have many folks with us but your lord and his people are forbade from our ranks.”
“Tch prejudice much, we’re not all the same. Just because I look like a demon doesn’t immediately put me in the stance of a demon.” He hopped up and looked over at the group stretching.185Please respect copyright.PENANAmbLL70mG7n
“So what’s our next move?”
“Tch. We’re meeting up with some other members, we’re stopping in Salaren.”
“...WHAT?!”
