ENDLESS JOURNEYS (O/A)

[PixelMuse]

As Trinity continued to move away from where she last saw the orbs, she suddenly felt nauseous. It was the smell of one of the men, not far. Trinity backed a little only to have her foot find the edge of a cliff. She turned and found the falls. It looked like a deep canyon. She moved away from the ledge, I guess I'm running out of space to run to. Ugh too bad too that smell is horendous..

She took a good look at the men, they look like bounty hunters and all of them had her wanted poster. There was a short guy who was bald, he seemed to be the boss. There seemed to be two fast paced fighters who were equiped with daggers, they seemed to look very similar, identical except for how they part their hair, probably the theives of the group. The big guy was the one finishing his dirty business, he was obviously the muscle and used his copy of the wanted poster face up. Trinity was very disgusted by this even though she herself thought it was a better use of it. The rest of the group complained of the foul smell. It seemed he was forced to burry it.

A hawk flew to a low branch near the boss, it had a message tied to his foot. Possibly a fifth member sent it to him. As the boss read the message he smiled. "Looks like the one we're looking for was spotted by a near by village. It won't take long now until she'll be runs out of that town and we'll be ahead of the pack and that money will surely be mine-I mean ours, of ofcourse."

Trinity threw up, she couldn't keep it in anymore, and that gave herself away. "GET HER!" he called to the others. "Track her my sweet" he told the hawk and it took flight and would circle narrowly around when it found her. She shadow traveled to a different point in the forest she didn't go the distance because she had to conserve her energy. She ran.

Alejandro Inazuma

Alejandro heard movement coming from his right. The sounds of running and yelling, followed by a horrid stench. He flew up and followed the sent to end up flying right over Trinity. He looked down, noticed Trinity and the bounty hunters. He quickly drew his bow and readied it. He jumped between the hunters and Trinity. "You must be Trinity. Nova and Alec are on their way. You are going to have some explaining to do. For now, get ready." He said without turning around. He kept his eyes locked on the hunters. "Wait... I know you! There's a bounty on your head as well!" Cackled one of the hunters. "A very large bounty." Said another in a deeper voice. "Wonderful... Has anyone not yet heard of me?" Thought Alejandro as he chose his target.  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova followed Alejandro's movement and knew something was up. He had either found her or something else of important. His guess was the first.

"Looks like we've run out of time Alec." he said to Alec" And God...that smell is just...ugh..I don't think a human should be capable of producing that"

Shaking his head to get rid of the smell he spoke to Alec once more." I think you should do your thing and transform. I don't think we are the only ones after Trinity. Buff up as much as you can. In fact...I think I shall do the same."

Nova stopped running and took a deep breath. He never liked transforming but it was one of the perks that Nature magic granted. After several breathes Nova grew in size and his clothes seemed to merge with him. Nova, now at a towering hight of 8'2 began to further change. His hair color changed. His blue became black and became short. Black fur sprouted all over his body. This was one of the things he did not like about it. He looked ridiculous.

But that was the first stage. Now he moved on to the next. He became more buff, hands changing into claws, his mouth extended into the mouth of a wolf. Black ears grew on top of his head and a tail popped out. Right now he looked like the werewolf he had in mind. It was larger than the being that Alec transformed in but perhaps it was a different breed.

The downside was that he lost his speech in this form. He let go of a growl as he looked at Alec and nodded towards the direction he was headed. He did not run but did take big steps. Right now he was going to scare whoever Alejandro found. Maybe they were just innocent maybe not. Right now Nova wanted some fun.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec's ears flatten against his skull and his tail falls between his legs as he watches Nova undergo his transformation. He can't believe what he is seeing in from of him. Not only is this man a shape shifter, but he is even larger as a wolf.

Alec watches the man nod at him, he returns it weakly and watches as he lumbers off to scare the hunters. Alec curses internally, any confidence he had from earlier now quickly leaving him. He sighs and transforms himself.

The end result is the same as it has always been before the incident with the fairies. Small, timid, and his muscle frame not improved much over his human form.

He weakly forces himself to catch up to Nova, and play up the visage of a giant wolf...and his kid brother.

Trinity saw him floating and notice he was a valkyrie. She couldn't stop and get a good look at him. "Nova sent you huh? Tell him and the others to stay away from me!". She shift her course to run to a tree then disappeared into the tree's shadow and emerged from a tree near Alec and Nova continuing to run.

Alejandro Inazuma

"Wait! Damn, she`s a fast one..." He cursed as he looked back to where Trinity whent. "What are you waiting for?! Find her! This one`s mine..." Barked the boss. "Sorry, I`m already taken!" He joked as he fired an arrow at the man, hitting him in the shoulder.
"Besides, your not my type." He continued to joke as he kicked the man right in the face, causing him to topple over and loose his balance. He followed up by a sweep to the man`s feet and a downwards stab. Just as he whent for the kill, the man kicked Alejandro in the chest, causing him to go flying head first into a tree.
"Ha! That should teach you to mess with me!" The big man yelled. "If this one little wound stirs you up this much, you`ll love me..." He said as he wiped the blood from his nose.  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova turned his head when he heard Trinity. He let out a loud growl as a signal to Alec. Nova's current form was too slow to chase after Trinity and transforming back would take time plus he wouldn't be at his best after wards. Also there was Alejandro who was being assaulted.

He wasn't used to communicating in this form so telepathy would have to do for now.

'Alec, I'm too slow in this form! You're faster! Catch her. You can do it.' He spoke to Alec's mind.

He turned his attention back to Alejandro's position. He stepped out of the thick bushes and stared the bounty hunters right in the eyes. He let out a murderous roar towards them.

Alejandro Inazuma

Alejandro stood up straight, both blades ready for use. "You talk big, but can you back it up?" Asked the man. "Oh, I have more then I think you can handle." He taunted back. Alejandro ran forwards, jumped, and drop kicked the man, causing him to stagger back again, followed by two quick slash`s to the chest and a finishing kick to the chest, finishing him off. The man got back up. "My, you have more risistance then expected. That weight shielding you?" Alejandro taunted, knowing that the man was nearly beaten. He then turned and faced the wolf. "No worries here. Go get Trinity, I`ll catch up later." He said with a small grin. He then turned to the man who was having trouble getting up. Alejandro dashed right at him, both blades by his sides, and slash in a x cut, killing the man. "Good night. See you in the devil`s playground." He said as he spit to his side. He then turned, jumped and flew off towards the direction where Nova was running.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec makes a heavy exasperated sigh, wondering why Nova is bothering with telepathy and not speaking to him. He can understand animals. Alec figures he's just showing off some more.

Alec catches wind of Trinity's scent and follows after her. "Trinity, please wait. Don't ditch us, we can help."  

[PixelMuse]

The remaining three bounty hunters saw Nova's huge wolf form. They looked at each other. The twins called out one after the other "Not it!". Which left the big guy, who stood 8', named Ralph to face Nova. With his shoulder he bull rushed a charge against Nova.

Trinity looked back and saw it was Alec. She leaped up and grabbed the nearest branch. After she swong herself up then looked back down toward Alec. "You don't understand...I don't want you and Kerana to go through what I want through!" She saw the twins coming and the hawk over her. She starts running again from branch to branch. One of the twins stopped to delay Alec while the other continued his pursuit after Trinity.  

[Kittyusha]

Alejandro Inazuma

"Trinity! Wait!" He yelled as he swooped just above the tree line. "Your headed right for the water fall!" He yelled as he looked up. "I have to stop her! But how... But how... Ah ha!" He took out his bow and grabbed a vine, tying it to the arrow. He then aimed at Trinity. "You asked for it!" He yelled as he fired the arrow.

Alec starts to go after Trinity when the man jumps in front of him. Alec tries his best to seem fierce and dangerous, growling and throwing up his hackles. "Get out of the way, I don't have time to mess around with you."  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova, who was annoyed that things did not go according to his plan wasn't in the mood for an actual fist fight.Sure the guy was big but Nova's wolf form has claws and was bigger.

Nova stepped aside and let the big man pass but not before letting his claws dig into his flesh as he passed. He was not in the mood for games and his new feral awareness wasn't too keen on playing either.  

[PixelMuse]

Ralph writhed as Nova's claws dug into his shoulder. He pulled on his tail and tried to drag him in retaliation, "Not so fast!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alec's confronter, Dodger drew his daggers and tried slashing Alec at his shoulders.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trinity shrieked and that echoed through the forest, the arrow found it's target into Trinity's side which caused her to slip and fall. Her head banged on one of the branches rendering herself unconscious.

Her pursuer, Rodger caught up to where she fell. He picked her up and carried her on his shoulder. He made a bird call to let the others know their target was acquired. The other two backed out of their fights and start heading to their roundez vou point. " Thanks buddy!" he called up to Alejandro. Then made his way to meet the others.  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova had forgotten that this form had a tail. Losing his balance he fell on his back. Then he heard Trinity's yell of pain. Alejandro arrow must have hit her. That goddamn idiot!

The big guy retreated by Nova didn't let him. As he turned his back on the wolf, Nova leaped from behind and bit down on his neck. The strength in his jaws increased until a snap was heard. Ralph's neck was broken and he was bleeding out.

As quick as he could he ran towards Trinity's direction. He absolutely hated it when it didn't go as planned and this was a perfect example of that.
