Name: Ixian IWEMAP Rixy.

Nicknames: Ixy, Subject Thirteen

History: Ixian was actually taken from an orphanage as a baby and utilized as a test subject to develop weapons using people with superpowers or other supernatural abilities. And it was not just the painful bad kind, but the dark ones too. The experiments involved Ixian being opened up again and again, as one of the "Core Subjects" in their attempts to implant more powers and abilities into him, to turn him into a weapon. Weapon, Weapon, Weapon. That was all Ixian was told, and it awakened a secret ability hidden to even the scientists.

Originally, the scientists had taken Ixian because of his unique ability known as "Adaptability", which made him genetically able to accept and utilize all foreign tissue. However, this new ability was only awakened thanks to the extreme trauma, and was formed by the thought he had at the time, which was "Create Weapons". He thought that, if he had one of these weapons the scientists ranted on about, he could escape and have freedom, live a life he wanted. And so, that was the ability he developed.

Ixian's new power caused a huge amount of damage as he escaped, and allowed him to cause the release of many other test subjects. What was surprising is that they all shared white hair and red eyes, and even their facial features were similar if not the same. ANd then, they soon learned. Ixian was actually a clone using implanted memories from the first subject, and he was subject thirteen. The youngest of the clones.

Outraged, the subjects wiped out the scientists, and then escaped into the world. They sort of keep in touch, but they often also lose track of each other. Supposedly, there is one brother however that is tracking all of them, because he was given a supernatural ability to do so.

What he can do:

Spirit Guardian Summon: Boo Boo

Ixian summons his Spirit Guardian, which appears as a silly and childlike white ghost doll thing. Boo Boo should not be estimated by his looks however, as it has cloth that can stay intact even if space itself is cut across it. Additionally, when it charges at someone, it coats itself in an unknown, uncalculated energy that increases damage and toughness further then its already high offensive and defensive ability. It also serves as Ixian's Shield, Playmate, and occasional partner in crime. It can fire beams of energy from its...hands...and eyes, and its mouth can let loose a shockwave attack. It can appear as large as a building, or as small as a hamster, depending on the energy Ixian feeds it. It seems to act like its own entity at times, but will always follow Ixian's orders. When Ixian needs to give it orders, that is. When Ixian calls it out, some of his blood is used, but it never seems to effect him. However, it does suddenly expand like crazy to form the summoning gate. Additionally, sometimes Ixian uses this method to call out large scale weapons.

Weapon Creation:

Ixian is capable of making any weapon possible, materializing it in the real world to fight. This includes magic, although he has not totally mastered that yet. He can also create shields, and other objects to some degree, but his ability decreases significantly the farther it gets from weaponry. For some reason, money and food are entirely impossible, possibly because they are grown (technically, the material used to make money does grow so....but coins, while possible, tax him. Also, the codes would be blatantly fake). He can also freely controls the weapons he creates, and can even make them float, fly, follow, and target whatever he wants. Note that this ability does take some bit of his energy pool, which is an energy currently unquantified.

Song of Swords:

Ixian can summon forth not just one sword, but many. Although he can create any weapon, he seems to have a strong affinity for summoning swords. Among all the weapons, Swords are his strongest to the point that they never seem to break. They can be used as his defense as well as offense, and are capable of annihilating anything that gets in his way. He can keep track of more swords then any other weapon as well, and it should be considered something of a signature, like Boo Boo.

Flight:

Ixian can also use that unquantified energy pool to fly in the sky freely without wings. However, it takes some time to build up the energy to fly, so it wont necessarily stop him from falling to death.

High Velocity Barrier:

Objects that travel at a high enough velocity cannot harm Ixian, as it will be stopped by his barrier. These objects include bullets, orbital cannons, ship weapon fire in general, and most modern weapons. Even crossbows would not work. However, certain energy based attacks, melee weapons, and a number of vehicles can still move slow enough while being able to deal fatal damage to Ixian.

Full Control:

Ixian is able to take control of any machine or construct by touching it. However, the length of which he touches it determines the length it can be controlled. For every second he is touching it, he can control it for ten seconds after releasing it. He can also do this to people, but they might be able to overcome it with willpower. However, if their minds had broken in the past for whatever reason, they would become much more vulnerable.

Regenerative Abilities:

Ixian will always regenerate wounds, and it is unclear if he is capable of aging anymore. Neither him nor his brothers had grown an inch after their escape, though some of his brothers were blessed with being older. It is currently believed that the scientists had been giving them some sort of drug to make them grow, and without it they will stay this age.

Adaptability:

Ixian's body is capable of utilizing and absorbing all foreign tissue without issue, regardless of the source. It may also hold other effects, but this was the main one utilized.

Ixian woke up, not huddled in warmth like he had wanted to, but instead in the bitter cold of the outside. He was resting inside the crevice of a back door in some alley, hidden behind the various objects littered there. His hand was still clutching his smart phone, which was still at 98% charge thanks to the new battery he, uhh, acquired.

"Dwam it...dwid I fall asleep outside agwain?"

Ixian's speech was a bit slurred since he just woke up, but he was starting to become more and more aware. For one thing, he remembered where he was. Solinus City. He had just snuck into this newly refurbished city that was already teeming with life, partially because he was scared someone had been following him. But, he would be afraid of that regardless of if anyone really was. But first, Ixian had something else he had to focus on. His rumbling stomach.

As he stood up, the young boy quickly made his way out of the alley. At the moment, he was wearing a large black sweatshirt, a white T shirt, and black sweatpants, along with white sneakers. He also had white hair and red eyes, and despite sleeping on a hard surface outside, he had already mostly recovered thanks to his "Adaptibility" and "Regeneration" abilities.

Unfortunately for him, he had no money, and none of his powers could be used to create money or food. And so, he created a dagger instead. As any weapons created by him had the ability to float in the air, he did not need to hold it. Instead, he and the floating dagger moved towards the market. He targeted a few stalls that had breakfast type food, and when he went nearby of course the market owners were cautious of him thinking he might be a thieving orphan...and they missed the knife, which would plunge itself into food like an apple or a bagel and make off with it while he was distracted.

Additionally, Ixian also picked the pockets of a few people, to get some money. With all that done, he retreated back out of view of most people and began to eat.

Ixian was deeply enjoying his food savoring every bite. After all, he only had the money he had just stolen, and the food he just ate. He was thinking that to prevent himself from dying of some horrible, super disease or getting kidnapped while he slept, he should try to get a hotel room tonight.

He wanted to avoid any of the neighborhood ruffians, that was for sure. Even if Ixian had all of these abilities, getting beaten up still hurt, and it was not likely he should just freely use them against people. Well, Boo Boo was an exception though.

"Hey there! Want to swap? I'm famished!"

Suddenly, even though Ixian thought he snuck away unnoticed, there was now someone calling out to him. He reflexively bit his hand a bit and then jumped to his feet, facing towards the person that startled him. Of course, person was a bit of a strange word to use since she was about his size, maybe a bit bigger. It was pretty interesting, because he was pretty sure she was not human. He was only basing the idea that it was a she from her voice, but he had no idea if that was the truth.

"Wh....who are you!? Why are you following me?! Boo Boo! Help me out!"

Because he had just committed a crime, Ixian was a little on edge. He was holding the dagger he had summoned in his hand still, while the hand he bit into had a drop float in the air in the palm of his hand. He squeezed it, and poured a large amount of energy into it...and Boo Boo appeared in the form that was smaller then Ixian's head and rested on his shoulder.

No matter how you looked at it, there was no way Boo Boo appeared in his combat form right now. It was fairly obvious.

As Smuxo spoke about not hurting, and settling down, Ixian was still afraid of the newcomer. Others had tried to convince him of that in the past, and when he believed them, he was beaten, kidnapped, attacked, or such. Of course, what he failed to remember because of the fact he got startled is that he could summon over two dozen swords right then to protect himself. Maybe it was a sign showing his instincts were working, telling him she was not a threat, but Ixian was consciously on guard.

However, the one who interrupted this was Boo Boo, who flew between them, faced Ixian, and then waved his arms around and in various ways as he made unintelligible squeeking noises.

"Huh?! Hold on, are you..."

Ixian started to talk, but then Boo Boo flew into his face, pointed at Smuxo, and continued to make squeaky noises.

"Are you..."

Boo Boo continued to make squeaky noises as it waved its arms around. After awhile, Ixian just nodded and lowed his head...and then he entered full blown apology mode!

"I am really sorry about that lady! It's just...you really startled me, but I am really sorry!"

And then, as she asked about his parents, Ixian made a strange face. It was a strange face, simple yet complicated, a conflicted face as if he had no clue what to feel.

"I...I never knew my parents. Its just me...uh, you said you wanted food? Do you have anything valuable then to trade? Like gold or something?"

From the video games he played, Ixian mistakenly thought all Kobolds carried some form of gold on them.

While the ghost-thingy was arguing with its friend, Smuxo took the opportunity to get her bag back. She liked that ghost-thingy. It seemed to at least tolerate her, unlike most of the ghosts she had encountered, including Grandpappy Grayscale. All he had done was talk her ear off about tradition and morals and 'fool's errands'. She had apologized, but it was no use. She guessed some folks got right steamed when you used their headstones for ballast. And then crashed it into the ocean. Still, this one seemed much nicer. It wasn't calling her a runt, at least. When the boy started apologize, she tried to wave it off, shaking her head nervously.

"It's fine! I know I can be a bit fearsome. It's all part and parcel of being draconic, you know?" She had scared somebody? She never got to startle anybody. She didn't think she could startle anybody. The kobold guessed it was like finding a rat where you didn't expect, like a loaf of bread or a toilet bowl. That, or she was actually a fearsome creature with a proud draconian lineage. Snrk. She had to stifle a laugh at that one.

After she had pushed his buttons talking about his presumably dead parents, which made her feel just great, the kobold scratched her scaly chin with a greasy claw. It left a black streak on her white scales. Gold? If she had some gold, she'd have likely spent it by now, wouldn't she? Unless...

The little lizard peeked into her bag, picking out the tooth. She held it up to the one working light in the alley, tail curling around one of her legs in anticipation. Aha! A gold filling! She knew she had kept it for a reason! Okay, not that one, but some reason! Most likely her species predilection for kleptomania, but eh, she'd take it.

"I do now! This'll get...something nice around here, I bet. Like a shower or a bed or something." Come to think of it, she wouldn't mind all of that. She loved her mechanics aroma as much as any other, but people were starting to give her funny looks. Soon, they wouldn't even accept her money. Or smell her when she tried to sneak about. The rats were getting bitey, too, so sleeping in her automobile was becoming bothersome. She could leave it for a little bit. Nobody was going to steal it. Not after what happened to the last one. Boiler pressure is important.

"Hows about a team-up, eh? Get ourselves somethin' nice! This is the city, yeah? Gotta be loads of stuff for two enterprising souls such as us."

Ixian was extremely relieved when Smuxo mentioned that she was not hostile, or that she came in peace, and given what Boo Boo told him, it seemed like she was really nice and...

"AH! I forgot to introduce us!"

Ixian realized that because of his mistake, he had totally screwed things up in the order of how things are supposed to go.

"My name...its Ixian! Ixian Rixy! And this is my Spirit Guardian, Boo Boo. Nice to meet you!"

Boo Boo, the white ghost thing (Whose appearance you can see in Ixian's character sheet) was his Spirit Guardian, a power that occasionally manifested itself in people that are born in areas of high Spiritual Power, or are born from people who have high Spiritual Power.

Ixian meanwhile was almost certainly younger then Smuxo by a lot, but also seemed to have quite the bit of experience. Even though it was a mistake, and he forgot he could just summon his swords to deal with it, Ixian had reacted quite splendidly, and even held the dagger properly, in combat position rather then cooking position.

"A bath and a bed?!"

Ixian got very excitied when Smuxo mentioned these things. After all, it had been at least a week since he last took a bath, and that was not even in a real bath. He just washed himself off in a river on the way here and then dried himself using large leaves. He had gotten lost, and regretted not stealing a bus or a bus pass at least. ANd furthermore, he had not had a decent bed in ages either. And of course, he was curious about what else Smuxo had in mind.

"Where is it? Close by hopefully!"

Boo Boo was just nodding nearby, as he seemed to be in a good mood since Ixian was.

Ixian was slightly worried when she mentioned flophouse, but he shrugged it off since he thought maybe she just didn't know the right word or something. Well, Ixian's own views were kind of skewed, because a wandering biker to mess with him told Ixian that if he entered a Flophouse, he would likely be kidnapped, thrown in a cage, sold off, and likely used by perverts for weird things. Since he figured that she just meant to say something else, that was it!

"...that's it, right?"

He mumbled that to himself anxiously.

In all truth, he didn't have a real second name either. Well, in reality Iwemap was it, but given that it stood for Intelligent Weapons Materialization Platform, which was odd that the scientists had named him after the ability he had only just developed, he had decided to make up a new one instead, which was Rixy. And Ixian, which was his first name, was actually just the name of the original test subject, which he was a clone of. All of his other "brothers" had decided that since it was him that freed everyone, he would keep the name of Ixian, and they would all take new names.

After a few mishaps, one of them where Ixian was nearly kidnapped by a ninja but managed to blow him away with a silenced pistol he created without anyone noticing because ninja skills, the two finally arrived at the hotel....only to reach a new obstacle. The door was too tall for either of them to get the handle of. Ixian was smaller then Smuxo, but then looked around and got an idea.

"Hold on, let's use this!"

As his body might not be a good way to boost Smuxo's, and without thinking of the idea of having Smuxo give him a lift instead, he ran over to a nearby Garbage Cleaning Robot nearby. Ixian put his hand on it, and took control of it. Making sure to count the necessary amount of time, he climbed on top of it and kept the control...without realizing this robot was linked to multiple others and any streetlight systems nearby since it crossed roads, and accidentally messed up all the traffic in the area...but there was no guarantee he would ever learn of this. Instead, he had the robot bring him over to the door, and he was able to open it for them.

"Ta da!"

As Ixian smiled, Boo Boo then came out, and pointed out there was a revolving door they could have easily accessed to get in.

The kobold watched the display of magic with a mix of amazement and nervousness. It was fascinating stuff, magic. She couldn't light a candle with her skill level, which by her reckoning made her an even worse kobold than normal. She was fine with that, though. Magic was dangerous. All steam did was occasionally melt your face off or send bits of metal flying at you. It didn't summon tentacle-things or eat your souls or anything. No sir, if you died it was with big old boom, like Scale intended!

The magic worked wonderfully, though. Smuxo wasn't sure how humans were supposed to drive, but they seemed to be making do with whatever that robot had done. Human cars were durable, anyway. They'd be fine. As for Boo Boo pointing out the door, she tried to put on her bravest and most adventurous face. Damn. She'd really wished she'd seen that door.

"O-of course we weren't going to use that door. Where's your sense of adventure!? Ixian solved the problem just swell-like, I'd say! Onward!"

The lobby was quite nice, at least compared to the places the kobold normally slept. There weren't any rats, she couldn't see any corpses, and someone had made sure that the bloodstains had been cleaned up. If there were bloodstains, that is. The lizard assumed any decent inn had to have bloodstains. This placed seemed a little too quiet for that sort of thing however. There was music playing, some drawings on the wall, and a little bowl of mints on the counter. She couldn't help but toss down a few with a flick of her tail as she scrabbled up the counter. Smuxo slapped the tooth down of the counter, catching the attention of the concierge.

"A room, if you please!" The woman leaned forward in her chair. She looked at the kobold, then the child. Was it worth it? They looked a little young to be buying anything other than a pack of gum. The kobold sounded a little older than... Eh. She needed the occupancy. Gold was gold. She knew a guy to get it out of the tooth, anyway. She slapped a key down on the table, along with a roll of bills. She hated making change for gold. At least these two didn't seem like dedicated adventurers. She just couldn't fit those damn gems into the register.

Smuxo hopped down, handing the key to her new friend. "Lead the way, Ixian! Let's see what our treasure got us! To Room 204!"

"Ye...yeah! Yay!"

Ixian managed to get himself pumped up after Boo Boo pointed out their blunder. Revolving Doors, the easiest way to get into or out of a hotel, were something Ixian was not used to. No, the doors he was used to locked from the outside, had no way for him to open on the inside, and were both padded and armored to prevent any chance of escape. In retrospect, while he was on the streets now, his life was better then in the lab, because even when people beat him up, they did not cut him open and replace his organs, or add new ones. So Ixian considered this hotel to be a luxury they had to enjoy fully.

On the way to the counter though, Ixian saw a security camera and immediately put his hood up. He was never sure what camera could be connected to the people who had kidnapped him. Even though they slaughtered everyone there, his older brothers warned him there might be others affiliated with them and to avoid detection if possible.

As Smuxo asked for a room, he noticed one couple sneer at the Kobold/Child pair they had, so...

"Boo Boo, Fetch. Silently".

Whispering his command, Boo Boo immediately acted. Because Ixian had tried to summon him for combat, Boo Boo had been given enough energy for advanced combat techniques. Which was likely overkill, he easily gave too much to Boo Boo out of fear. However, this let Boo Boo perform some awesome acts such as extending his arms that looked like they were made of cloth, into the target's pockets from behind without them noticing, and instead of pulling out the entire wallet, pulled out several hundred dollar bills from each, and a cash card which would be untraceable.

Boo Boo maintained stealth mode, and returned to Ixian's side as Smuxo finished getting the room. The two of them began to head towards the room at that point.

"Yay! Comfy beds! Baths! And who knows what else is around! We can have a lot of fun!"

Having forgotten (temporarily) about his anxiety, Ixian strived forward with glee.

Getting to the room wasn't difficult. The stairs weren't too hard to get up, and their room was pretty close to the landing. Smuxo wasn't used to buildings that were so modern. She had expected wood and hay, not soft carpeting and nice wallpaper. It was kind of refreshing, actually. She could even hear the humming of a bank of vending machines, the clattering of an ice-maker in use, all sorts of utilities that most of her siblings would literally kill for. She needed to get teeth like that more often.

Smuxo reached their door, hopping up and smacking the key into the lock. The door swung open, causing Smuxo to fall face-first into the room. The kobold stood, happy the lights had been on before she had opened the door. The switch looked a little high. As for the room, it looked...well...really nice, actually. It was of average size, but to the tiny lizard it was a palace. Clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. Success!

Dropping her pack by the door, she turned to smile at Ixian. "I told ya! People love gold! Look at this place!"

She was about to vault into the bed to roll around a bit, but realized that they would likely have to replace it entirely if her filth got anywhere close to it. She sniffed herself. She didn't think she smelled too bad, but that plant seemed to get a little more brown the longer she stood next to it. She padded over to the bathroom, happy to see that there was actually a bath. She couldn't reach most shower knobs.

"Right, then! Figure I ought to go first, seeing as I'm drivin' off insects." There was a clattering sound as a hoard's worth of engineer's kit hit the tile. Most of it was homemade, but still. She was proud of it. She probably have to burn the clothes, though. They started stiffening before they even got off of her. She didn't think they were always black, either. Weren't they white before? Eh. She saw a hotel sweatshirt in the closet, that'd do for later.

It was not just Smuxo who had never stayed in such a luxurious room. This was Ixian's first time in a room this soft and comfortable, he took off his dirty shoes and socks which looked way too worn and dirty to even be usable, and was about to plunge his feet into the soft carpet while looking around when...

"Wait...I have the same issue".

I Ian got distracted by the nice room, and realized he had the same issue. His clothes had all been on him for at least weeks now, and even though he could summon an artillery cannon or middles, he could not summon soap and bath water. Even just standing there, after looking at contrast of what his clothing looked like now and what he remembered they used to be like, Ixian immediately began taking them off. He wasn't sure if even soap could save them.

He had not changed clothes once since he escaped. Actually this was still in the single digits of changing his own clothes. To prevent incidents, the Scientists observed and assisted with their bathing, eating, even changing clothes because they didn't want them to hang themselves.

By the time Ixian was done though and looked at Smuxo, he realized his mistake...and used his hands as a shield! Boo Boo wrapped a bathrobe around him, even if it came way too late, and then spoke to Ixian again, who had turned red.

"Uhh, sorry about that...it's just...I have only been free for a short time. You see, for as long as I was born, I was treated as a Slavs test subject by scientists so all this is new to me even though weeks had gone by".

And so, Ixian finally explained his circumstances to her. Of course, due to the barcode on his cheek it was actually a giveaway, but Ixian had never looked in a mirror clear enough so he was totally unaware.

"This is the tops! They have soap in little bottles! See? I'm a Foam Dragon!"

A white head peered up from the rim of tub, covered in bubbles. She had to run the bath with the drain open to get the worst of the grime off, but now it was deep enough she could swim in it. She hadn't had anything like this back home. They had more of a communal mud puddle. It was a lot better, she had to admit. She wouldn't get dysentery from it, and there weren't leeches everywhere. No bugs, either, which was a shame. She had already eaten all of the mints.

The kobold didn't really understand why the human had changed color. Could humans do that? They only seemed to do that sort of thing when they were either really angry or embarrassed. She didn't get why he'd be feeling either emotions, though. She had literally dozens of siblings. There really wasn't enough clothes to go around. Plus, well, she was a reptile. It wasn't like there was anything to cover. That was probably why she didn't look away, unfortunately for Ixian.

"I'm...really sorry to hear that, Ixian. Kobolds get enslaved a lot. We're good at mining, you know? Our name even comes from the word 'cobalt'. Still, it beats being eaten, right? Heh..." She floated in the water, slowly being eaten by a massive mound of bubbles as she stared at the ceiling. "It may not seem like it now, but you've got a good hand. Humans are lucky things. Nice and tall, you know? Gonna live a lot longer than me, I bet."

She flicked her tail in the water, spattering Ixian with a few drops. The kobold righted herself, resting her elbows on the rim of the tub. Her head was tilted in confusion. "What's up? There's room. You're killing that plant faster than me!" She cackled, extending a hand, tail lazily drifting in the water.

When she came back up with the foam, even Ixian who was in full embarrassment couldn't help but laugh a little. Of course, this was because Ixian only a vague understanding of things. He knew this was embarrassing, but he did not one hundred percent sure why. He just remembered that the scientists would always comment to him about his body and what not, and it made him feel awkward to be examined because of what they said and did to him.

Of course, the fact she was staring right at him did not help...but then, Boo Boo came inter the picture again and not only pulled his robe off, but pushed him forward right into the foamy bath! Ixian's bottom half remained visible for a bit, but thanks to the large size of the bath and the fact Smuxo didn't take up much more space then himself, he avoided hitting anything too much, though he felt like he might have bumped into her in some areas. Once he got himself oriented though, he was now facing upright in the bath...with a foam mustache.

"Boo Boo! What was....Boo Boo?"

Indeed, this might be a cause for concern for both of them, as the Spirit Guardian known as Boo Boo, which appeared to be some ghost doll made of cloth and what not, now had many threads of cloth forming ribbon shaped arms and were holding the soap, shampoo, and other body cleaning impliments...and looked towards them with its same face, that if one said that it appeared to have a bit of vigor in it it couldn't be helped.

Ixian almost tried to jump out of the bath, but then it invaded with cleaning impliments! It was at this point, Ixian understood his mistake!

"When I summoned it, uhhh, no offense, but I was startled and summoned it...glurble...for combat! But I asked it to help me! That is why it has been taking all these actions! Boo Boo! Sto...no, that's ticklish! Haha! Plea...not there!"

And so, the reason for Boo Boo's actions had been figured out. Because Ixian had told it to help him, he was taking such actions to help Ixian...such as ripping away the one thing covering his body, throwing him into a bath with Smuxo, and then forcibly cleaning them with high quality cleaning aids!

Boo Boo had a playful, childish side to him as well.

Ixian half went with the flow, half fought it...but this was all influenced by the fact he was scrubbed in places he was ticklish, and his entire body ended up getting scrubbed. Because of this, by the time it was over, he was just getting out of the bath while Smuxo was showing herself. And the first thing he thought was...

"Shiny..."

Not even caring he was completely exposed at the moment, partially from prior experience and partially from exhaustion, he just commented on the shininess. Of course, he was only a little kid in body, so it would make sense for him to say that.

He looked over into the hall, and Boo Boo was carrying their clothes in sealed plastic bags. Ixian wanted to stop him, but frankly even though he was naked in this room with no clothes to put on at the moment, he was not going to put those on again. Of course, he was not going to just walk out of the room naked either.

So instead, for awhile, Ixian stayed in the bath and did a bit of return fire at Smuxo for the earlier splash! Whether it developed into full on splash war however, was on her.

So as a sort of inbetween while waiting for Boo Boo to get back after taking all potential contaiminants to the washing machines, and if those failed, the incinerator, he stayed in the bath for a bit. Of course, he did feel a bit strange Smuxo was flashing him.

"So, what brings you here anyways? What was that thing you had before? Also....you really don't feel embarrassed right now? Although, well, I don't really understand it either myself, but for me it just reminds me of the lab a little. They never really gave us anything there..."

Getting out of the bath and starting to dry himself off, Ixian listened to her while wondering why the towels were so small. Were they to make it cheaper to clean? He would ask Boo Boo to investigate later, maybe it was because even though they got the best room, this was still a cheap hotel.

"I see...58 siblings huh...nothing wrong with it...so, people with multiple siblings should be like that..."

Ixian had many siblings himself, so his common sense started to get warped into thinking he should just try and accept it, even if it was embarrassing. He did not even question the possibility that Kobold Logic and Human Logic should be different, and so freely jumped onto the bed with Smuxo.

Well, he was eight too, although in truth he had memories from the original Subject I as well.

"Auto...mobile...I think they are also called cars...some varients are bullet proof, some transform into robots, some have built in weapons. There are even varients that go under water or turn invisible...I see, so yours must be another variant..."

One might think Ixian was referring to movies, but in truth all those things really existed. The scientists had made him study these things for combat and assassination missions. Ixian was actually qualified to shoot someone underwater, if he used special equipment, but he could hold his breath for quite a long time.

"Captain...of all those things? And flight?! Flying can be useful, I mean, I can fly myself, but it requires charging and can be glutton for energy...wait, fire?! Do you have the power to fly into a volcano?!?!"

Unfortunately, Ixian was an idiot that lacked common sense and misinterpreted things on a severe level.

Somewhere on the Sevrianna Continent, far away from his last confirmed sighting, in a town that otherwise wouldn't have anything of particular note (other then a secret large stash of weapons hidden away by a criminal organization), a young boy was sitting in the more urban part of town enjoying a cheeseburger.

That would be Ixian. Current (Illegal (As in not authorized by any reputable organization)) Galactic Bounty: Over One Billion Standardized Galactic Credits.

Yes, Ixian who was actually a clone and a former victim of illegal genetic research and experimentation until he and his brothers/clones escaped was currently sitting at a diner. He regularly in an irregular and unpredictable schedule traveled between various cities and towns including Wing City and Solinus, and was now at a more urban town in the Sevrianna Continent, at a diner enjoying a burger.

And it was during this lunch that his Spirit Guardian Boo Boo which held the appearance of a White Ghost manifested in front of him, but in a small size so no one but him would notice and kept himself hidden under the counter. It communicated in a completely incomprehensible series of squeaks and arm waving, but Ixian seemed to understand somehow.

"I see...there are at least five to seven hit teams about to attack from behind huh? Damn..."

He began to make plans as he heard those hit teams begin to load weapons while maintaining disguise.

“Another planet...Another hopeful day.” A figure in a red fur coat spoke to himself as he took a small drink from a bottle in his hands. A planet known as Origion, he had hoped to find some jobs and some extra drinks while he was at it. However his device waspicking up two things, a familiar signal and plenty of signatures up ahead.

What was going on? Some sort of surprise birthday party? He wished...He was walking in said direction where all those targets were located. Bounty hunters here? What a rain on the parade. Tossing the now empty bottle to the ground he continued to walk like he was on a stroll. Eh...Maybe he might get lucky and they won’t reconize him.

Ixian materialized a Z-25 Auto Pistol into his hand. Although given the numbers a larger weapon, or a few of them, would be in order, the fighting had yet to start and he wanted to catch them by surprise.

Although his hearing wasn't on the level of say, Superman's, it was exceptional enough to pick up the slight sounds of weapons loaded. And he could barely pick up the two closest chatting.

"Hey, you hear the boss? Apparently there are two high priority targets in a single place as isolated as this one!"

"Keep it down you idiot! They might catch on, a bounty like this they are probably freaks".

Suddenly, Ixian's head lowered a little and he cried a bit. It's not my fault! I know I am a freak, but it still hurts!

After that little episode, Ixian composed himself however. it appeared there were others also incoming, maybe reinforcements, maybe other mercs and bounty hunters who also got the intel and were racing for the prize.

"Uhg....I hate long days".

Right as two teams of four kicked down the doors and came in guns blazing, another team came in and broke through the windows. Ixian had thought to dodge, but there was not much point. Instead of using energy weapons, or other weapons that could have the chance to bypass at least partially his High Velocity barrier, they used normal bullets. Probably because those weapons were cheeper then energy weapons, and despite the bounty and all this prep, they had still underestimated him because of his appearance.

And as such, the bullets were blocked as Ixian launched several highly energized bolts in response and took out a good number, while materializing a grenade in the other hand. The mercs tried to get away, but before exploding the grenade created a gravity well that sucked them back in before exploding.

Ixian himself, aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the High Velocity Barrier, took cover behind the counter. As for the customers and waitress, they had already ran away or were the mercs in disguise. It appears the people here were very good at running away from danger.

What puzzled Ixian for a moment though were sounds of explosions and weapons fire from somewhere nearby but not directed at him.

"Oh right, the other target. I wonder who that was?"

Russian whistled to himself as he continued to walk minding his own business. Of course as he walked he heard the sound of gunfire nearby along with a few explosion. Well, so much for being worried. Looks like today someone else had bad luck...So much for keeping his thoughts zipped up...

As he walked a group of heavily armed individuals popped up from hiding places. Assault rifles, grenades, and a whole lotta bullets were fired at him. “Fuck me...” The well known Mercanary known as Russian muttered to himself as the bullets impacted some sort of invisible shield which shimmered a brilliant orange as the man rushed to cover and unsung his bolt action rifle.

Yeah yeah...Many people can insult his weapon of choice but quite frankly they end up dead anyways so he won’t let it bother him. His cover of choice, a nearby chunk of rock. Let’s see...Sounds like ten of them. All of them armed with rapid fire weapons, alongside some grenades.

Speaking of grenades a few landed next to his position. He gave a small sigh as he grabbed the two grenades and a small electric shock surged through the device on his wrist shorting out the grenades for the time being and tossed them back. A little static interference to stop the primer from activating. As such as a few explosions went off not on him but at the enemy he slightly chuckled. Amatures...He was the real Mercanary around here.

Russian soon aimed his rifle at the air and fired off one of his innumerable special rounds in the air. As the round soared into the air it began to burn bright as it began to rain molten rain from above the would be assassins positions. It would easily spear through whatever counted as armor they wore or their head. Whichever worked for him. He called this special round the...Damn he forgot...It was a round made to kill enemies in cover fairly easily wince many did not expect such a round. It lasted a good twenty seconds before exploding and showering the area under it in one last fiery barrage.

There was still plenty of bullets still hitting his position but a far less amount of bullets were firing at him. He must have killed a good half of them...

As more and more mercs came in like a wave after the first, Ixian clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Don't tell me the bosses plan to send them in waves instead of one at a time to drain my endurance...its not a horrible strategy, but it sucks for the cannon fodder they are using. Well, they should not have taken this line of work in the first place if they were not ready for it".

While saying words that showed just how much his mental age was past his physical age, Ixian materialized a Reagan-22 Siege Rifle. A Siege Rifle was like an Assault Rifle, but it was specifically designed for dealing with large waves of forces. The ammo was a bit annoying for Ixian to materialize because of its complexity, but it paid back for it with usefulness. As Ixian took out another group, he noticed one of them managed to throw a grenade towards him. So...Ixian kicked it right back at the attacker.

Not every attack or counter attack he had to do was fancy or powers based, after all. However, given that multiple mercs were now taking out grenades while looking annoyed, he figured maybe they had realized they were being used as cannon fodder and decided to use explosives regardless of the risk of damage to Ixian's body.

Since the explosion of a grenade could still potentially harm Ixian, though it was more the heat then the force, he decided to go out through the back and circle around to try and find new cover. A few mercs were here as well, but they were not looking at him so Ixian quickly took them out. Yes, instead they appeared to be focused on someone else. Probably the other target.

Before Ixian could move away from the other person they had attention on, a gunship came out behind a building and launched several rockets at Ixian. He summon a few swords and sent them flying to intercept in mid air, but Ixian was still forced to relocate towards the other target. Additionally, a few of them seemed to notice bullets were not working on his barrier and were now using energy based weapons. Ixian quickly dove behind cover near the other person since it was the best option available to him, and then shot a few more of the mercs before they could get behind cover after following him.

And in the stressful situation, Ixian couldn't help but make conversation to help him think.

"Don't you hate it when noisy tourists come and interrupt your otherwise peaceful vacation?"

Ixian was not normally friendly to strangers, but as the people trying to kill him and take his body also seemed to be trying to kill the other man, he opened up with completely not fitting the mood but somehow fitting casual conversation.

As things seemed to be dying down, apparently he was yet again wrong on this assumption. More guys began to swarm his position and they brought in air support now. Of course it was firing at someone else but still. This was getting on his nerves. Outnumbered, and outgunned at this point. What? Did the bring an army to kill him now? With a sigh he brought up the device on his wrist as someone decided to make themselves at home.

“Tourists? If they are tourists then I guess I’m doing the touring wrong then.” Russian replied as he tapped a few floating icons above his device. If they were gonna bring in an army, he may as well even the odds a bit.

“So, welcome to mt. Cover. It was a population of one but now I got a new neighbor. It’s now become overcrowded, I would say find a new home but quite frankly, if you are in the same mess I am in then I guess they are all gonna come down on us twice as hard now. Names Russian, universes number one Mercanary.” He introduced himself as he inclined some sort of high tech grenade from his belt.
