Evelyn stated to him "I doubt anything can give you wings at the moment but there's something that tells me I am wrong as well... Still though being reckless is pretty normal for people that lived like you did." 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra. Profile picture by a wonderful user named trash.

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 28, 2017 Author Share October 28, 2017 "You are correct there. It is actually pretty funny, almost everyone I know from our group is capable of flying, yet before all those years ago there was no such thing for us, well... we didn't have alot of things such as proper food, a bed, or a home for that matter, more like a temporary shelter, well... shelter is also an overstatement for that." Jack said. "This might sound weird, but i always feel comfortable flying with someone, but really flying all on my own, that would be very scary for me. I think its because of the fact that i am not in control of the flight that makes me not afraid, and feel safe for that matter, i think capable of flying on my own is something that i am just afraid of." Jack admitted. "To give you an example, those born with wings or capable of flight have a natural instinct and senses, like knowing when to dodge at the very right moment or when make a certain movement, because you would get this feeling inside of you. My kind also has instincts and senses, but they are all based on ground movement and overall things like hearing, seeing and smell, we are in theory just absent of those same instincts as flyers have, even if i could somehow fly, it would not be the same in that regard for me, i rely alot on my instincts when doing fighting for example, without those instincts, my reaction timing would be way to off." He said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 (edited) "Well, I guess that makes sense. Still, though you won't mess up so much necessarily plus you learn actually quickly despite what others believe. It can become second instinct to you. It's not hard either it's just like walking or swinging a weapon." Evelyn smiled "Though gaining wings might be a bit different huh? And those instincts might need a bit of work... You do need to use your head a bit." Edited October 29, 2017 by Maple Bat 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra. Profile picture by a wonderful user named trash.

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 "You are right, and I guess I need to find a boundary between using my head and following my instincts," Jack said. He suddenly made a big yawn. "Well, i have to admit i am getting tired myself, shall we do one last stunt before heading off to sleep?" Jack asked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Evelyn thought about it "Well maybe... just one more" She smiled to him and thought of something fun. She flew way up into the air and started to plummet downward the few lights of the city in full view as she was going down. She started to spin like a corkscrew but keeping the spin rather mild in terms of speed. She pulled up just before they hit the ground. "How was that?" 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra. Profile picture by a wonderful user named trash.

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 Jack held his breath at the sudden dive and held on the saddle with dear life, but he managed to get a steady grip. But when she started spinning, he had to plant his feet on both sides of the saddle and hold it firm between them in order to hold his grip. It was only when she pulled up again that he relaxed his grip. "Heh, that was amazing, and it looks like i won't a lack of adrenaline anytime soon." Jack said with a laugh, as he still panting from the sudden movements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 "The rush will wear off by the time we get back to the barracks and when it does you'll be out like a light." Evelyn laughed. "Used to do stuff like that to go to sleep when I was younger." She laughed to him as she flew a bit further and landed in front of the building that was acting as the barracks for the city, she walked in shortly after landing and went to her own private room setting Jack down as she fell into her bed 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra.

Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 The night itself was mostly uneventful. Maple had left the room that she and her brother were in and started training with her spear she had been using, She had also taken the long leather strip off the weapon's shaft so it was only metal she now held it with her claws which were charging the weapon with energy meaning his with this weapon would hurt much more than before. When Maple saw the sun start to rise she returned to the room and laid back down so Woody didn't think she just left him in the middle of the night. 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra.

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 It was eventually morning in which Jack awoke, He steered a bit before he opened his eyes and suddenly looked confused. 'How come it is so dark in the morning? Sho- Ohh...' Jack thought when he suddenly realized it. Evelyn had wrapped her left wing around Jack in her sleep during the night. 'I rather wait for her to wake up, its still pretty early in the morning in think.' Jack thought. 'For some reason, i feel like feel like this mission is going to be different than usual, I guess because I don't know anything of what we will face except lots of enemies and strong defences.' he thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Eventually, Evelyn started to stir a bit lifting her wing so Jack could get up too. She jumped out of bed and stretched helping her wake up "Ahh. Ready for today!" She said after finishing her stretching "What about you? You ready for this?" She looked at him with a smile waiting for him to get up. 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra. Profile picture by a wonderful user named trash.

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 Jack eventually sat upright on the bed. He then started moving his head a bit from side to side in order to get those muscles in his neck a bit less stiff. "I am ready as I will ever be, this is the first time where I am actually confident we can do it, normally I am always so grim about it the prospect, but now I just feel alot more relaxed about it." Jack said with a smile. "Shall we head to the others, we still have time to prepare since its still a little early." Jack said as he climbed off the bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you're being a little more positive about this." Evelyn exclaimed. "Who should we go talk to first? Personally, I was thinking we go check on Luna."

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 "I think Luna is a good idea as well, after that, I also think we should go talk to Karthspire, I think he could explain to us what we would most likely be up against, so we can prepare for eventual oppositions of our enemies." Jack suggested. When they where walking, it was very busy on the streets, people were in a hurry it seemed, some of them were a bit on edge while others were very distant from others, alot more than usual. Soldiers were running across the streets with their weapons drawn, sometimes Vernomians could be see been soaring through the sky above. "I wonder what this is all about?" Jack said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 "Somethings wrong... I think they have come here... People never usually draw their weapons in here unless something is wrong... We should probably go check out what is happening..." Evylen tossed Jack into the saddle and took off to where most of the soldiers where heading, worried about that was happening. 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra.

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 In the centre of the city it was a bit of a chaos, people in crowds where muttering among each other while others were standing there, not knowing what to make of the situation. In the middle of that place was Karthspire, trying to reassure everyone. "Everyone calm down, there is no need for panic, we have got this under control."

Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Evelyn looked down at what was going on and flew down next to Karthspire "Karthspire, Sir, What is happening?" Maple and Woody also landed there too wondering, "What the hay is going on here?" Maple asked... Are we under attack?" Maple was geared for battle and Woody... Well he was there to help if he was needed. Karthspire also noticed his landing was a bit off due to his half-blindness, Something that Karthspire never really noticed since he wasn't around Woody much 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra.

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 "Enemy activity has been out of control, ever since Maple gathered that data from that outpost, there have been reports of enemies moving with an enormous amount of numbers trough places, war machines of 305 feet tall have been spotted, which is rare and only used in siege warfare. But what is even more concerning, they are seeking out survivor groups specifically at the moment, but instead of the usual strike teams, the enemy has been using artillery and chemical gas to suffocate living beings inside shelters and buildings." Karthspire said with a sigh. "Suffice to say, there MIGHT come an invasion on this city, but we are not sure, they seem very focused on wiping out all individual survivors out there first. And it is no secret that everyone in the city is deadly afraid, the last invasion on this place has been long ago, but back then there where enormous casualties and some of them still remember that day."

Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 "Then let us handle it." Woody raised a paw as he suggested his idea"We can handle those monsters before they get here. Me, Maple, Luna, Celestia, Evelyn and Jack... We can..." "No Woody..." Maple interrupted "If they can kill the whole army then us 5 or 6 can't... At least... not with just 6 of us, plus it's not an immediate threat since it's not coming this way... I'll leave this up to Karth spire however and Evelyn too if She doesn't want to go given the war machine problem." Maple started to walk almost pacing in the room, having no idea if this was a good idea. "If it's a good Idea I'm going... fear or not."

MickeyAdaptus 2,211 October 29, 2017 Author Share October 29, 2017 (edited) "Maple is right here regarding the problem, but there are 2 problems. First one is that these enemy movements are not just from one point, they are spread all over the place, north, south, we are talking about miles of distance between, some even coming from the opposite direction, you would have to split your entire group in order to even reach all of them, but that would not make a difference since you would get killed with so low numbers." Karthspire said "And the second problem is, none of what you guys would try to do would really work on those things, melee, weapons, magic, or even firearms, it's is all useless against those machines since they have an extremely thick plating, not to mention, a hole that we would call big would be minuscule for those things." He said with Concern. "No, if you encounter one of those things, avoid it, rather focus on the enemies that you can take out. The only way to damage such a war machine is by doing it the old way, we use cannons and not just those normal ones, nononono, I am talking about these massive cannons with these very long barrels, that shake the ground when it fires. It is a thing that you could learn from this, sometimes you have to rely on weapons to do it for you instead of taking on the job yourself, many lives can be preserved that way." He said. "But these war machines aside, all these reports came from very far away, they are not even close, *yet*. It would take around 3 weeks before they could even arrive judging from the distance, so I would say we keep it like planned before an attack that Conversion centre." Karthspire noted. "And I did gain some form of insight from what you had said earlier Maple, and instead that I am just going to accompany you guys, I will be bringing on an entire army to storm that centre, I am not one who is ready to take unnecessary risk. By the way, could one of you go get the others for me? It is going to spare us alot of work if we are not forced to tell everyone individually."

Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Woody nodded "I'll go get the other Equestrians." Woody teleported away to presumably go get them. Maple looked at Evelyn "So... No hard feelings like before right?" Evelyn Chucked "Come on... I know you're not some souless machine now. Since you took such priority to tell Jack his sister was alive rather than to just spill blood. So yea... No hard feeling." 1 My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra.

Maple Bat 3,568 October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 'Sounds like a plan.' Evelyn thought back 'Should Maple come too? She can fly much faster than I can with those wings... If we run into a big problem then she can react first then us... I'd like to see what enemies could do before I get us close to them...
