Elements of Nature - 2

[Skullbuster 1,906]

(ahhh ok)

 

Jack got up and headed to his room, once inside it he ploped on his bed and took a nap

(everypony try to resolve what you're doing right now soon so we can head for fire.)

 

Rigel had returned to his room and was now sleeping.

 

 

Nightshade stood in a dark room, apparently waiting for something. She sat down and began to meditate. After a few minutes, a hidden door opened, and a tall, cloaked figure walked in. Nightshade immediately got to her feet and bowed.

 

"What shall I do next, master?" she asked, not looking up.

 

An evil sounding chuckled echoed throughout the room.

 

"I'll be keeping tabs on what the Valkyrs do next." the cloaked figure said.

"Chances are we will be able to start the next part of our plan soon. I'll send you a message when the time is right." he turned an walked towards the door. He paused in the doorway. "oh, by the way, the leader of the Valkyrs is tracking you. I don't sense him near this are, so I doubt he knows about this place, but make sure you aren't followed in the future." he left.

 

Nightshade left and found a small back alley. She quickly opened a small pouch on her belt and drew out a small container filled with white pigment. She covered herself in it, which turned her a light gray. She quickly used a different dye on her mane and tail, making them a dark green. She found a small inn and got a room. On her pillow, she found a letter.

 

If you find this, know that Garth, leader of the Valkyrs, is also staying at this inn. I expect you to deal with the situation.

 

She burned the letter and went down to the nearby cafe, intent on making herself look busy while she watched for Garth. She ordered a salad and sat down at a table with a clear view of the inn across the street.

 

 

Garth had asked around, and nopony had seen a black mare with a dark purple mane and tail. An old pony in a bar said he had seen her once, years before, but Garth wasn't sure if the pony was trustworthy, or even sober, so he didn't have much to go on. she definitely came to this town, I saw her go through the gate. But then she just... Disappeared. She obviously knows her way around. I'll have to be extra careful.

 

He made sure the few things he has brought with him were hidden in his room, he didn't trust the staff or other clients of the inn, and went outside to see if he could glean any more information from the citizens of the city.

 

Nightshade saw Garth exit the inn and make his way down the street, occasionally stopping to talk to a street vendor. She quickly finished her salad and casually made her way down the street in the same direction. With the foot traffic, it was easy to seem normal, a feat that Garth, being one of the only griffons in the city, was unable to do.

(As far as I remember, I'm ready to move on. just have sforzando gettin wasted again, and can't remember what happened with Melody, so I say we just say what ever is going on sorted itself out.)

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

(Orange was dealing with Melody, and Silvermane was about to confront her. But yeah, when you're ready let's get started!)

[Skullbuster 1,906]

(I was napping, let me stop that)

*the following is a dream sequence*

Jack found himself in the forest clearing, but there was something different, he was covered in blood and saw all his friends dead around him, and he was holding a bloody butcher knife, he suddenly swung at the nearest thing, which happened to be rick,

 

 

Jack sat up in his bed wide awake, he looked at his hooves, he sighed, "just a dream" he got out of bed and went to gizmo to see if he was done with the launcher

[Authetius 30]

(Was he really neverland? I can't remember. Lets just say it all resolved, as I'm much to busy to look back atm and wanna get going.)

[Skullbuster 1,906]

Jack knocked on gizmos door

"hey, have you finished fixing the launcher?"

[Evilshy 5,090]

(I had a big post typed out, and then my iPod decided to say "fuck you" and deleted it while I was trying to find some nice art that looks kinda like the fire realm. So, quick version:

Everypony is on the other side now, in 2 groups. The main group, in the middle of a wasteland in the fire realm. Rigel got a compass that points toward the greatest source of fire magic, which should be Ignite or the fire element. The smaller group, which I believe is jack, sforzando, and legacy, are a few kilometers outside Ignites stronghold.)

 

(the landscape looks a bit like this

Hopefully this RP can move now lol)

 

Rigel came through the portal and looked around. It wasn't quite what he expected. Sure, there were fires everywhere, it was hot, the air was thick and smoggy, but metal structures? They dotted the landscape randomly. They didn't seem to be used for anything in particular, they were just there. A shiver ran down his spine, in spite of the heat. something isn't right about this...

 

Far away, legacy was having similar thoughts. this doesn't seem to be all that fire aligned. Or really, any of the elements. It's too... Industrialized. Metal, wires, even oil is all over the place. It even looks like it's part of the environment, as if it's naturally growing there or something. she shook her head. whatever is going on, this isn't the work of Ignite alone.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

Jack looked around, he found some pieces of coal, "ok, if we are sneaking, he should conceal our selfs, smear this on" he handed some coal to the others, and applied it to him self, he then noticed a look of confusion on legacy

"something troubles you?"

[Linguz 140]

Gesboiath (yes. The wolf. I'm still here) writhed in his cage as a group got into his vision. He smacked the bars with his body, creating a dull sound that echoed across the molten field. He tried to speak, but an iron prison kept his jaws shut.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

(I hope it doesn't matter which group you're talking about Linguz...)

 

Agent turned his head. He heard a faint sound, echoing through the area. "...am I hallucinating, or did I just hear a noise?" Agent said, wiping a hoof over his sweatier-than-usual forehead. "...stupid heat..."

[Linguz 140]

(I was hoping for the larger, main group. You're in it, aren't you?)

 

Gesboiath heard the sounds and began to thrash in the cage more, creating a loud and more distinct sound.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

(yep, that'd be my group)

 

The noise became louder, which made Agent shake his head more. "...alright, this has to be real... I have to check it out..." He shook his head and broke away from the pack, heading closer towards the noise.

[Linguz 140]

Gesboiath's ears caught the sound of a pony walking closer. He continued to hit the bars at a regular interval, constantly giving the pony a source to trace.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Agent continued the walking towards the sound, starting to become more rhythmic. The heat started getting to him as he smiled and started shaking his head in the rhythm of the bars, before he laid his eyes on the cage and a figure hitting the bars.

 

"Okay... so I wasn't hallucinating..." Agent muttered as he came to the cage.

[Linguz 140]

Gesboiath stopped hitting the cage when he saw the pony see him. He pointed at a lock and then at his own mouth-prison-thing.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Agent, still feeling lightheaded, approached the cage and noticed the wolf pointing at the cage lock, and then at his snout which was shut tight. He took out a bottle, filled with water and drank a bit, before snapping back into focus.

 

"So, you're trapped aren't ya?" Agent chuckled, as he went to pick up a stone. "Not a problem!" He yelled as he swung the stone onto the lock, breaking it apart. He pulled out the remaining broken bits and went over to the wolf, laughing a bit. "Now, I assume you want to deal with that thing keeping your mouth shut, huh?"

[Linguz 140]

Gesboiath nodded his head and stuck his face as far from his body as possible to avoid any possible injuries.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Agent went towards the trap that kept the wolf's snout shut. He studied the metal device, and noticed two weak spots, one under the snout; near the chin, and the other near the left side of his mouth.

 

"...you'd think people nowadays would use better traps." Agent muttered. "Alright buddy. I'm gonna need you to raise your head up high for me."

[Linguz 140]

Gesboiath rose his head to the sky, allowing the pony a clear view of the bottom of the device.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

*Huh, this'll be a tight fit...*

 

Agent reached for the rock he used earlier, and his new stone dagger. He carefully placed the dagger where the weak spot was, carefully holding it's place. He then took the rock and started hitting the dagger slowly, trying to break through the metal.

[Linguz 140]

Gesboiath felt the metal weaken slightly, allowing him to open his mouth a small amount. He took a few steps back and faced the cage. He closed his mouth and looked at the cage, breathing in deep. He opened his mouth and released all the air he had gathered. The device got launched away from his snout. He turned to the pony.

 

"Many thanks, friend. While I do not mean to sound ungrateful, what are you doing out in this burnt land?"

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

"Man, I could ask you the same thing!" Agent laughed. "But to answer your question, we're here because we need to find somepony who seems to be here in this," Agent waved his hands in the air, "RIDICULOUS location. By Discord's beard, it's hot!"

 

He reached for his bottle filled with water. "But yeah, we need to find him and retrieve something from the dude. You thirsty?" Agent offered.

[Linguz 140]

Gesboiath looked at the bottle and shook his head.

 

"I've been locked in that cage for a few weeks now. If I needed water to survive, I would've died by now. It's what happens after you live for a long enough time in this scorching landscape. From what I can guess, your body adapts to the point that it no longer requires constant water. So who do you need to find?"

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

*Locked? For weeks? How does this guy do it?*

 

"Some pony named Ignite. He got a red coat, from my memory, and the colour of his mane was..." Agent paused, before hitting the ground in frustration. "Frickin heat!" He said, taking a swig from his bottle. "...on the topic of being locked for weeks, I'm assuming he captured and locked you?"
