Spirit's Call IC

[knock]

((the things name is cold))
Sotar felt the cold It was inside him Then he heard a voice in his head"Give up you cannot win" Sotar unleashed a blood curdling scream as the cold took over his body.Sotar was trapped a prisoner of his own mind."good good that scream will draw the others and then hehe blood will spill''the thing called cold whispered as a blade sprung from it's arm.

[Echo]

Taran heard the scream from the clouds and found Sotar. The boy did not look normal, something was wrong. Taran yelled through the forest.

"Stay away from him! The lizard-boy isn't normal."

Taran drew his combat knife and dove towards Sotar, he landed about five feet away from him and stopped.

"Sotar...are you alr..." He stopped himself, noticing the blade that was now part of Sotar's arm. "They're back..."

Taran took a step back and yelled towards the heavens. "THEY'RE BACK!!!!"

[Echo]

(notes about the cold:

While you are controlled by the cold you no longer have the animal form, nor its beneficial traits.

While you are controlled by the cold your biceps swelll incredbily, but you move slower.

The cold is a being left by the "aliens" to take care of final survivors, it is actually quite weak, but hard to kill because of emotional attatchments to the being inside it.

Thanks)

Thomas looked at the new comer. He was seeing a lot of people now. He knew this would happen though. He had seen it all. He couldn't tell the others though or he would disrupt what had to happen, so he was quiet. A few minutes later he heard a scream, shortly followed by another... the second scream scared him. In it he heard, "THEY'RE BACK!" . He cursed and looked at the others, "Well lets go..." this was what he had not liked when he had seen into the future. He ran with the others following. He knew he could take off if he wanted to but he didn't, Ryla wasn't as trained in controlling her powers and Nova couldn't fly. So he ran as fast as he could with the others behind him. When he finally reached a clearing he saw the guy from before, Taran. He was facing on with another guy who's arm was a stinking SWORD. Thomas turned to the others, "Stop!" he knew that the blade guy couldn't see them yet, "Ryla, you go round back of him, Nova to the left, I'm gonna try to drop in, when I give the signal come in for him but DON'T get too close," with that he shot off up into the sky. He flapped his wings until he was over Bladeboy and he sat there and waited for the others to reach their positions. He could feel his body trying to fully morph into his Eagle form. He didn't let it though, being bigger would be an advantage in this fight. The others reached their spots and he let out a signal to go that sounded more like a Eagles call than anything else, dang DNA shift... he dropped through the air at full speed towards the Bladeboy. He finally crashed into him, driving him into the ground. He slammed the guys shoulders into the ground with the talons that now extended from his hands. Nobody did anything but look at him as the Bladeboy struggled, "Well help me!!!!!!" he said.

[cheif]

Odis could hear the yell "There back" from his place eatting ants and doing handstands. He rushed back to see what had happend. He stoped about fifteen feet away. Watching what was about to unfold.

[ShadowWake]

Ryla instantly did as the young scientist told her, her military instinct kicking in before her Osprey instinct had a chance to take hold. Waiting warily behind the sword-weilding boy, she watched the young man plummet to the ground, his weight crashing into the strange shifting boy and pinning him to the floor. Realising she had been standing with her mouth open, Ryla snapped it shut at the scientist's shout, and dove forwards, her fist striking the side of the boy's face in an attempt to knock him out.

"Oww! Fuck!" she gasped, wringing her hand as the bones crunched slightly, "Bloody Nora - what the hell is wrong with him??" Her reactions still sharp, Ryla decided that holding the boy down would be best until she knew what was going wrong - before she did more damage to herself out of ignorance - and so grasped his shoulders, forcing his torso to the floor. The muscles in her strong arms bunched with the effort of holding the boy still and she looked up with an eyebrow raised, her gaze meeting the young scientist's.

"Ok, Wiseman," Ryla said with a wry smile, "Now we're stuck in this position, any suggestions?"

[Keeley]

Tara heard the commotion where the camp was springing off the tree and sprinting back to the camp. She reached the camp in time to see someone hit Lizard boy. "It won't work" she said "He's got himself covered in goo, its as hard as metal..." she said non interestedly looking down at him, "You could try punching him again it won't do much difference...you could burn it i suppose" she said looking down at the flask it had come from, picking it up and dropping it in the flames to wach the reaction.

[Echo]

Taran composed himself and spoke.

"Ryla. Get off of him, that "goo" is a sentient creature. I saw it take over my father...it is alive." Taran's voice shook as he spoke. "We are going to have to kill him, theres no studying...the boy is fighting it in his mind now, but in an hour or so...his strength will at least triple, he will lose all coherent thoughts, and he'll want our blood with a flaming desire."

Taran sheathed his combat knife, stared up to the clouds and asked a single question, just loud enough for the rest of the group to hear it...

"Why?"

[knock]

The part of Sotar that was still human heard what Taran said his desire to stay alive was too overwhelming and he threw The others off of him the beast inside of him picked up Taran and slammed him into a tree his blade arm about to slice slice his neck off,then he stopped a flicker of humanity left in his mind he said "There has to be a cure." though it was obviously hard for him to give up the chance of killing so many humans.

[ShadowWake]

Ryla was thrown back as the boy on the floor responded, picking up the young shifter Taran easily and pinning him firmly against a tree trunk. Recovering quickly, Ryla snatched up the combat knife Tarn had dropped, placing it against the 'goo'-covered boy's throat, her heart pounding in her chest as she tried to control her instinct to shift into a bird.

"Let. him. go." she said, calmly but firmly, "If you're coherent enough to ask for a cure then you're coherent enough to put him down. And Taran, killing is always a last resort. Wiseman here is a future-seeing scientist, I am an ex-military officer and who knows what else we've got between the rest of us? If we're going to stop these things then why not by starting here?"

[Echo]

Taran grinned, the hilarity of that comment was enormous.

"Stop them? You mean the armies that came and whiped humanity off the planet? Oh. Okay. We will." Taran laughed loudly. "You go for it, I'm going to be avoiding your death sentence."

With that Taran stretched his wings and jumped into the air, flying away.

Good luck sister, I've seen what it can do to people. You look for the cure, I'll be watching.


(Shadow, thats just my character, there is a cure, its rare water from a spring up in the moutains. It'd be best for the story if somehow Knock was stumbling up through the mountains, trying to resist the cold, and took a sip of it.)

[knock]

(echo If I drink the water do I lose my armor too.)

[ShadowWake]

((If you're a reptilian shifter then you'll always have some kind of armour but I would've thought the one that the goo gave you would disappear with the goo...))

[Echo]

(Not at the beginning, it will slowly melt away as the cold loses its grip because of the cure, but after about a day itll all be gone.)

[knock]

Sotar looked at the people surrounding him and gasped as his form spontaneously attacked a jackrabbit that come too close. his muscles rippled as they grew and he stuck his head in the air and breathed deeply until he caught a scent that burnt his nostrils."It's that way he"said bounding west slowly because of his size until suddenly a form much like his own except larger lunged at him from out of the woods.

[Gilan]

Thomas ran towards the Bladeboy. He pulled a needle out of his pack and stabbed at him with it. The thing screamed loudly and dropped to the ground. He looked at the others, holding his bruised arm that had been hit when the guy had sent him flying... which no one seemed to notice, "Quick, lets tie him up or something, he'll only be out for like two minutes in this state. His DNA is locked with the alien DNA right now and so his body is more resistent to stuff like that tranquilzer. So lets get him tied up or something, NOW," he waited for someone to have an idea as to what to do with him.

[knock]

Before he fainted Sotar said "Thomas you idiot!"and he pointed to a groove of trees where another cold infested creature came bounding out of.
