Name: Ahelos Age: 16 Race: 1/3 Human, 1/3 Fairy, 1/3 Vampire Gender: Female Appearance: Normal height, green dread locks, fairy wings, green dress with matching shoes Biography: {Can't think of anything!} Personality: Crazy, cheerful, friendly, kind, trustworthy, silly
Ahelos wakes up cold and shivering. Where is she? She looks around her and finds she is slumped in a dark scary alleyway, sat in bin bags in between some old can bins. 'What am i doing here? How did i get here? Where am i? Who am i...?' Ahelos sat there for a while just thinking. All she could remember was that her name is Ahelos. Ahelos sat there crying for a long time, scared and frightned because she doen't know what happened. After a while she decides she better get up, as she would not find out anything just sitting there crying. Ahelos got up and staggered a bit, she looked down at herself, she was wearing a green dress with little green shoes. She ran her hands over her body to check that everything was ok, whats that she felt? Oh my days! She stumbles as she realises she has wings! Her hands slowly carry on moving up her body shaking a little, untill she reachs her face and knows everything is ok. Slowly but surley she starts walking out of the dark dismal alleyway into the light...

Name: Captain Age: 16 Race: human Gender: female Appearance: small, dark hair, dark eyes Personality: friendly, rarely smiles but almost always happy. It's difficult to tell what she's feeling to strangers
Ahelos ran directly, solidly into someone just around the corner. She gave a frightened squeak and tried to run. "Hey, stop!" The figure grabbed her and held her still. Ahelos struggled desperately, terrified. Captain managed to hold the stranger still long enough to look at her. Green hair..green dress...green shoes...And...wings? Ahelos stopped struggling and looked up at the stranger fearfully. She was a dark-haired, kind-faced girl of about sixteen, no taller than Ahelos herself, dressed in a hoodie and jeans. There was something about her unmoved face that made Ahelos want to trust her. "Are you okay?" Captain asked eventually.

Hey, Flak." Captain released the girl and turned to the approaching boy. "This is--um--who is this?" she turned back to the stranger. "A-Ahelos," stammered the girl. "Ahelos," repeated Flak. "And...the wings...?" "I..I don't..." Ahelos broke down into terrified tears. Captain put her arms around her. "Let's get her home, Flak," she said. "The poor kid's terrified. Come on, Ahelos..." She took the girl by the hand and led her off down the road. Flak shrugged and followed.

Ahelos, now completely freaked out by what has happened in the last few minutes, fainted into captains arms.
She woke up, it was dark and a lone candel burnt on a table across the other side of the room. The walls looked strange, almost like she was inside an orange.
She rolled out of the bed and walked to a window and looked out. She could see the alley where she woke up first, still dark and scary looking.

"Ah, your awake" Ahelos turned around startled it was Flak mixing some kind of drink "How....what......who.." Ahelos stammered. "Don't worry, sit down" Ahelos takes a seat at the table still shaking. Flak sits opposite her and passes her a glass of the drink. it looks horrible. "Well i better start with the introduction. Cap and I are twins.we were orphaned at less than a year old. we grew up on these very streets." Ahelos looks stunned. "we may be young, but many on the streets fear getting on our bad side, we're hardened warriors."said Flak proudly "Where is Cap." Ahelos asked "Oh, shes out hunting. she should be back soon.." there is a slight pause. "So, do you have any idea how you got here" asked Flak inquisitively. Ahelos shakes her head. at this there is a knock at the door.

"Is that Cap? Why did she go hunting?" said Ahelos "shhh, i don't know who it is, quickly, go hide under the bed" Flak said very hurridly which worried Ahelos. Ahelos stood up quickly but fell straight back down as everything went black and then back to normal. She got on to her hands and knees and looked for the bed, it was in the far corner. When she got there she crawled under and curled up into a tight ball. "Who is it?" Said Flak in a powerful voice. No answer "Who is it?" He repeated. "Whats the password?" From where Ahelos was she could hear odd noises coming from the other side of the door...

Then she heard Flak say in a worried voice "Reavers!" From her hiding place she saw Flak pick up the machine gun which had been lying by the wall. she heard the gun being cocked, when suddenly Flak kicked the door down and screamed and shouted. "Jesus Christ Cap, i've warned you about doing that. You scared the hell out of me, and Ahelos" Ahelos peered out from under the bed to see Cap standing in the door way chuckling, when suddenly she heard the odd noises again. they all froze. "Cap, please tell me that was you" Flak said worridely "Sorry bro, no such luck." Cap replied. Flak peered out the window and swore loudly as he saw some 40-50 reavers advancing on their location. "Quick Cap get on the MSW" Cap sprinted to the mounted machine gun and immediately started mowing down reavers. Flak fired his rifle aswell aiding in the slaughter. Ahelos covered her ears and shut her eyes. As she heard the sound stop she suddemly felt a seething pain. she opened her eyes just in time to see a reaver take a chunk out of her leg. Ahelos let out a blood curdling scream of pain and heard the two now pistol wielding twins fire twelve rounds into its brain cavity. "She's been bitten" Cap said hurridley. Flak picked up the glass of horrible looking liquid that was on the table. "Here Ahelos drink this, it'll stop you turning in to one of them" said Flak in a very surgeon like way. Ahelos did so it was the strangest taste she had ever experienced. "Cap" he continued "fetch the bandages will you she beat up pretty bad."

"I don't think this is my day Cap" Ahelos said as Cap started to clean up her leg. "What were those things? Why do i have wings and you don't? Why can't i remember anything? Why did you go hunting? I'm so confused!" Ahelos said in a rush. "shhh Ahelos, try not to think of that right now, we will answer all your questions in a minuet, once these bastard reavers are gone" Cap smiled slightly, Ahelos was a little moved for some reason...she hadn't seen Cap smile, she looked so pretty when she smiled, she should smile more...

Flak was still firing his gun out of the window. Finally he stopped, saying. "That's the last of them, for now" "So Ahelos, what was it you wanted to know?" Said Cap, she had stopped smiling. "Well first i want to know why you were out hunting?" She replied. "Easy, food and protection" Cap said quickly. "oh, well how about where i am" "You are in Barton Town.." came Flak's voice "..an outpost of of the last human stronghold on this continent, Merak."
(hmm i sense a plotline developing here)

Gunfire and screams of pain were still coming from outside. Reavers rarely use guns, for two reasons. One. Most of them will just use anything they can work out how to use quickly to kill people, meaning knives, swords and similar weapons. Two. The ones who have worked it out, prefer a more 'gorier' killing sprees. The reavers are basically the evil side of humans.
The pounding of feet came up the stairs. Captain turned round and pointed his gun at the door. The door flew open and dented the wall. A tall, muscley man with new and old blood stains on his torn clothes stood taking up most of the doorway, brandishing a short curved sword, still dripping blood and a large pistol in his right hand, also with blood splatters from close range shots.
"Julius! Jesus you almost made me shoot you" Captain said in an agitated tone. "Sorry boss, but quite alot of people are wounded or dead out there, we need some help defending the south gate. The reavers somehow managed to jam it with something and till its fixed, the reavers will pour in through their" Julius shouted hurridly. Julius finally noticed Ahelos, sitting against the bed and attempting to bandage her wound, "Whos the girl?"
(Wonder how long this story will go on for)

My goodness you guys like heating up these Role-Plays fast "This is Ahelos," Captain said, glancing up at Flak, who was reloading his gun behind the window edge. "Julius, how many are out there?" Julius shrugged, tying off the binding. "Thirty odd. Didn't stop to count." "Don't blame you," Flak called from the window. "We can't stay here," Captain said firmly, helping Ahelos to her feet. "These defences aren't going to hold. We've gotta get Ahelos out of here." As she was speaking there was a great crash from the window; Flak was blasted backwards into the opposite wall between Julius and Captain. Ahelos screamed as Flak's head smashed into the wall and he fell to the ground. Julius shoved Captain and Ahelos towards the back door, picking up Flak's gun. "Get the kid out of here!" he called. "Me and Flak'll take care of these." "Do what he says," Captain said, grabbing Ahelos. "Come on!"

Captain had a hard grip on Ahelo's arm, a bit to hard, she could feel her arm numbing. As Captain and Ahelos ran out Captain picked up a huge gun which she slung over her shoulder. Captain started to run faster and faster, Ahelos managed to look up to see that they were running into a dead end, only a window at the end. Captain did not slow down either but ran even faster. "CAPTAIN! ITS A DEAD END!" screamed Ahelos. "It sure isn't, just wait and see" She sounded rather excited when she said this. Ahelos decided to trust her and stumbled a bit as she tryed to keep up with Captain. "When i say jump, jump" Captain said a little breathlessly. They were almost at the end of the corridor, the window was only a couple of meters infront, she could see the detail in the window frame, Ahelos was sure they were going to ram into the window. "JUMP!" Shouted Captain Ahelos did as she was told and felt like was falling and falling and falling when suddenly she felt herself land on something squishy. She opened her eyes as she had closed them when she had jumped. She was thurely confused, she hadn't heard the breaking of glass, or the impact she should have felt of running into a window, plus this isnt the place she had seen while running up to the window. This confused her. "Don't tell me that was your first port jumping?" said Captain seeing the confusion on Ahelos's face...

"A what?" "A port jump, you know instant travel between points around the world" "Um, no actually" "Well you do now"
Julius and Flak and a woman appeared from the port. The woman was missing two fingers on her left hand.
"They're all dead!" cried Julius "What?!" "Everyone at the stronghold" "What us or them" "Us" "...damn. Oh this is Feln, our mechanic. She lost her fingers when they got caught in one of her inventions"

"Hello.." said Feln shakily "who's the girl?" "Her name's Ahelos, Feln" replied Julius "Oh, hi nice to meet you"
"Jeez Flak!" Captain gasped, adressing his charred look and shrapnel cuts. "It was a M.I.D.* luckily i only got hit by the edge of it." Ahelos looked around. they were in a hangar, she could see some kind of aircraft, and as she looked out of the open hangar door she could see the now burning Barton town. "Quick get on board..." Captain said commandingly. "... im flying Flak." she continued "No way" said Flak slightly annoyed "You're in no shape to fly though" said Captain "I'm fine..." Flak said as he almost collapsed. "...maybe not." They all entered the aircraft.

"I've never seen a plane like this!" said Ahelos in awe of its sleak design, and roomy interior. "It's one of Felns creations, she worked on it for ages, some of us thought it would never fly." said Flak wincing as picked out a small peice of shrapnel from his shoulder. "Well it flew ok? I would have loved to have seen you try to build a better one!" Feln replied, "I would have...if I knew how to build stuff" "Er guys...We might want to take a couple of crates of ammo and open the hanger doors..." Julius interrupted before the arguement got a little violent, "And fuel the plane..."
Everyone stared at Julius, Julius folded his arms. They stayed in silence for the next thirty seconds, except for the occasional cry of pain as Flak tried to treat his wounds.
"Alright! I'll fuel the plane since I can't trust anyone here with my precious creation" Feln went out of the plane and was soon preparing to fuel the plane. Captain sighed, "Julius you open the door when we are ready to go, get a crate of ammo while me and Ahelos get the other. Oh, if you find a box of grenades then pick that up" "What about me?" Flak cried "Your wounded!" "Yes and?" "I don't have the time, nor is it safe to dig another grave for someone who was stupid enough to try and to heavy work and so, hurting himself more!" "Well...um" "Come on Ahelos"

Ahelos jogged after Captain. "Where are we going?" "Away from here," Captain called back. "It's not safe..." At the end of the corridor Captain checked the gun over her shoulder, then turned to Ahelos. To Ahelos' surprise she rested a hand on her shoulder. "Sorry for dragging you into this, kid." She sighed, glancing around. "Quick decisions aren't my strong point." Ahelos wasn't sure what to say. She could hear commanding shouts from nearby as Feln and Julius started up the aircraft. Captain shook herself slightly. "Come on, let's get you to a safe place." "Safe place?"

"Yes. This continent is lost to the reavers now, also theres a Trion bomb in the base that will wipe out what little is left within 50 miles" "How long until it goes off?" "As soon as it cant pick up the signal from this" She raised her arm and there as a small black box that had a red light that flashed every few seconds. "I see...are there any guns that I can have?" Ahelos asked feeling a little left out and undefended. "There should be some near the ammo crates, come on."
They walked down the corridor and into a large room. It was filled up with scrap metal, old furniture. Captain pushed away a small pile reveiling a hatch. She opened it and put her hand inside and flicked a switch and light filled the armoury. Captain jumped down and pulled up a ladder. Ahelos climbed down after her.
"Ok, guns are down at the end, and make sure that they arn't already loaded. I don't need you to have an accident while trying out guns."
Ahelos walked down to the end of the room. The walls and the area between were filled with guns. Instantly a large heavy machine gun caught her eye. She pick it up and tried to hold it straight, it was to heavy. She put it back and looked around. She noticed some swords were there aswell. She picked up a short sword, it was well crafted and light. On the blade someone had inscribed 'If you have picked this up, then I did something wrong...bugger - Jay', She attached it to her belt and went back to look for a gun. Eventually she spotted some pistols, one was shaped for the left hand and one for the right. she pointed them out in front and weighed them in her palm. These suited her interests. She picked up two waist holsters and put her guns there. Then picked up 20 spare clips and a ammo belt.
"Hey Ahelos! How much longer you going to be? Reavers might appear soon!" echoed captains voice from the other end of the room. Ahelos walked back over to the hatch. "About time. I found a box of grenades. Here help me get this crate out." They eased the crate out and took it and the grenades back to the plane. They came back into the hanger put the crate into the plane.
"How much longer till we are ready to go?" Captain asked Feln "About 10 minutes or so!" she shouted over the engines "Ok we'll get another crate, I don't like fighting on low ammo!" Ahelos and Captain went back to the hatch and brought the third crate and dumped it in the back of the plane.

Ahelos and Captain had reached the bottom of the entrance hatch "Holy **** Reavers!" They looked up to see Julius and Flak loading their guns and start firing. "get on board quick!" cried Julius. they did so. "Damn we're too heavy.." came Feln's voice from the cockpit "..dump some of the ammo" "dump it nothing" Flak replied picking up a huge belt fed magazine and placing it in the giant rear mounted gattling cannon. "Eat this!" Flak screamed as he started firing. the sound was deafening, louder than the engines. Ahelos looked around Flak to see reaver after reaver being cut down. finally the sound stopped and Flak threw the empty magazine away. "How's that Feln" he asked still heated "That's perfect. Hold on tight guys" came Feln's reply as the entrance hatch closed and the aircraft took off.

Ahelos staggered as the aircraft jolted off the ground and soared into the air. Captain and Feln also stumbled to regain their footing. Soon they were several hundred feet above the ground, and looking down, Ahelos could see the ground swarming with Reavers like the ones they had been fighting. There amount and the distance to the ground made her feel pretty ill. Captain was still at her side, firing down from the open hatch into the army below. Feln pushed her back and slammed the hatch shut. "Where are we going?" Ahelos asked Julius. "Back to base," Julius called back to her. "If there's anything left of it." "You don't think the Reavers have already been there?" Captain said. "Most likely. The defences there are better, but..." Julius shrugged. "There's a chance we're flying to a deserted field or straight into a trap." "Great," Captain said sarcastically.

Looking out of the window Ahelos saw thousand of reavers near the base. "Are you really sure that we want to return to a base overrun with Reavers?" asked Ahelos "What do you mean overrun?" Julius replied "Havn't you bothered to look at the ground?" "I'm flying I'm suppose to be looking at whats ahead!" "Thats why theres a co-pilot" Ahelos rolled her eyes and Julius looked out of the window. "You know what, lets just fly to Tote Island..." Julius said as he took over the controls "The reavers don't know how to swim" "Thats about an hours journey and 70 miles away, plenty of distance between us and the Trion bomb goes off" "What Trion bomb!?" cried Flak "I was going to mention it in the meeting tomorow, besides we will be ten miles away before it goes off!" "Where did you keep it?!" "In the meeting room." "Were you planning to poison us at the meeting?! Don't you know how radioactive they are!" "Don't worry it was well contained, and it will go off when we are 60 miles away"

"To the island, then," Captain said. "We'll be far away when the bomb goes off." "Then what?" Ahelos asked. Captain looked at her thoughtfully. "What are we going to do with you, Ahelos?" she said slowly. "I shouldn't have dragged you into this. Where are you from?" "I don't remember," Ahelos said. "I can't remember anything before you found me earlier today." "Nothing at all?" "Nothing." Captain shrugged. "What do you want to do? You can stay with us, or we can accommodate you on Tote Island..." Ahelos' eyes lit up. "Can I stay with you guys?"

"...After all if you hadn't have dragged me into this i'd probably be dead." Ahelos continued. Captain smiled slightly. "okay, you can stay with us.." she said. Ahelos beamed. "..on one condition, you learn how to use those." she said pointing at the blade and the 2 pistols. "That's one thing i can do, even if i am hurt.." came Flak's voice from the corner. "..look come over here". he starts teaching Ahelos how to use the pistols. "...and then, you pick a target..." he said guiding Ahelos' hand. "..and squeeze the trigger." BANG! a light in the room where they were shattered followed by much shouting from Feln: "WHO IS FIRING GUNS IN MY CRAFT!" and Captain: "JEEZ FLAK I DIDN'T MEAN TEACH HER HERE!" Flak and Ahelos stared at each other and started giggling, followed soon after by Julius.

A hour later Flak said in suprise "You learnt how to use a gun really quickly! What you not telling us about your past?" "If i knew i would happily tell you" said Ahelos "Oh yer, sorry, i forgot you couldn't remember anything. Its a bit weird really...I can't wait to see how you do with that blade, its difficult blade to work with" said Flak

"What do you mean?" ask Ahelos who wasn't really paying attention and was just playing with the sword in her seat. "I'm guessing you have noticed the spikes on the ends of the hilt, well the former owner kept cutting herself with it when she was fighting, which doesn't actually matter now since she died a year ago" "Well anyway you can explain this to me when theres space to do demonstrate your point."
A few minutes past in silence except for the sound of the engines then quite suddenly a bright, vibrant blue filled the sky and cockpit and soon came a loud explosion.
"Well thats the end of that" Captain said sadly but sarcastically. "Why didn't we leave the continent before" Flak asked "Havn't you noticed? this is the only plane I built" Feln replied "Your not very good at seeing the obvious are you?" Ahelos said rhetorically.

"Quiet," Captain suddenly cut across them. She spoke so sharply that everyone in the plane fell silent. "Can anyone else hear that?" Captain said quietly. Everyone listened; for a while the only sound was the engine of Feln's plane. Then Flak's eyes widened as he heard it, too: a soft scratching sound from above them, that almost sounded as though someone was on top of the plane; almost as though someone was trying to break through. "Get down!"

Almost instinctively Ahelos, Captain, Flak and Julius pointed their guns at the roof. a large scratch hole appeared through the roof, then another, then another, then.... BANG! Flak fired one shot through the holes, through the back window Ahelos saww the dead body of a reaver descend into the sea. "Feln, full throttle, lets see if we can shake these things off." Captain shouted. the jolt of acceleration knocked all except Ahelos back. there was a slight pause as they all stared at the immobile Ahelos, then she raised her pistols and fired round after round towards the roof, the others one by one followed suit.

Post by Ceri on Mar 4, 2006 22:38:18 GMT
Feln managed to steer the plane back on course with the last Reaver plummetting to earth. "We're pretty close to the island now...See if you can block up that hole in the roof," he called back. "Anyone hurt?" Flak asked. "Ahelos? You okay?" "I'm fine." "Julius? Captain?"

"We're fine...how come we didn't notice them?" Julius asked "I don't know and don't care as long as they are dead and not wrecking my plane!" Feln replied "Theres land ahead" Shouted Julius "Find somewhere to land near the coast, there should be a town somewhere along the east coast" Feln said "Any reavers there?" "Unless they can swim, then no." "Good I could use the break from killing reavers" said flak
