Vixen nodded at the idea of traps."that is a better idea.as for a decoy..." she almost volunteered herself, when the raven flew off, obviously intent on doing the same."oh, no! Will he be ok?" She asked, turning to Tenshi."that settles it, we can't let the poor thing go out there for no reason.we gotta take the time we have and set traps while we can."

Snugger closed in on the camp site, his mouth dripping with drool as he imagined the flavors he'd be indulging in. From the thick of the tree leaves, a black raven darted towards the ten foot, four armed monster. He licked his teath, moistening them with the drool oozing from his maw. AN APPATIZER! the beast thought as he swung his right arms at the bird. The raven darted ang dodged with great agility as it slowed the creature from it's approach.

"Quickly," Garrie said motioning for the group to move slightly further into the woods. He bagan to gather pieces of vine and tying them together. "We can make a sort of catapult using that tree." He pointed a clawed finger at a medium size tree with a thin trunk. "Let's find some rocks or something we can throw."

Inuyami watched Garrie as he took comand and looked around the area to see what else could be done. Garrie looked like he knew what he was doing so, without really thinking, she slipped off in the commotion. She was being head strong but figured that the only way she'd be able to unlock whatever powers she's aquired was to put herself in a possition where unlocking them would be the only option of survival. Besides, she couldn't let that poor bird do all the distrating himself.

Seeing his raven fly off toward the direction of where the strange yet disturbing aura was coming from and how it was coming closer and closer toward the group. Tenshi just had a worried frown across his face, this was the first time he had ever felt something so dark and evil like this before; this made him worried on wondering if his raven would truly be okay or not. Clenching his fists lightly, he turned his back toward the direction his raven flew; only to end up hearing from the fox-like girl speak up saying that they couldn't let the poor raven fly off and distract for nothing. Giving a small nod he ran to follow the neko male and listen in on what they could all do to create traps for the meantime while Yukito was holding off, whatever was getting closer from behind. Looking around the large wooded they were in, Tenshi ran over toward a couple of the trees; picking up multiple large rocks and bringing them over toward the medium sized tree the neko male was talking about. Tenshi hadn't realized his power yet, let alone the darker half of his powers that reside deep within himself; so he didn't realize that this was something ridiculous to do rather than using his true potential. 'Yukito..dont you dare die on me..you stupid bird..' he thought to himself, only calling his raven stupid because of how much he cared about him.

Yukito at this point however, had seen how the large beast was beginning to fight back as though it was hungry. The raven just dodged over and over again, flying straight down toward the beast's forehead and pecking it as hard as it could. The chances were all risky and could've costed Yukito's life just to even get too close to the beast. This whole new world wasn't just new for the group, but it was all new even to Yukito himself; dodging the beast looked easy if someone was watching. However, it was much harder than one could imagine. Unfortunately for the raven; right as he was about to dash forward to peck at the beast's forehead once again, the sound of someone getting closer caught it's ears. Quickly enough, Yukito turned his own head to look over toward the direction where the group was. Although just doing that for even a slight second, caused Yukito to get smacked to the ground from while the beasts was swinging it's large arms. Immediately from just getting hit once into the ground, Yukito was pretty much on the ground; bleeding at an increasingly dangerous level.

The raven was causing Snugger a great amount of anger. It howled out from the force of the small creature's pecking and sent the monster into a fit of rage. As it began to swing it's arms in a frenzy, he felt the black bird strike the back of one of his right hands. Yukito was sent flying backwards threw the air in a tail spin until his body landed with a surprisingly loud thud. Bones inside the small avian's body had shattered into shards of brittle and slintered pieces.

Inuyami broke threw the tree line in time to see the bird fall. Her heart sank for him, fearing for his health and her own. She gulped and scanned the field for the best way to approach the creature. Snugger was moving even closer still, now only yards from the woods that hid the rest of the group. Yami hoped dearly that Garrie and the other's were ready with their catapult.

"FIRE!" Garrie called out as he slashed at a vine he'd tied to the elastic tree. A burrage of rocks collected by the other group members flew threw the air, a good portion of the larger rocks fell short of their target but smaller debris made it's mark. Snugger let out another great howl, it shook the trees and could be felt threw the dirt. "We hit it!" Garrie exlaimed. "Let's load and go again!"

Floria eyed the situation, what was going on, there were monsters now? This obviously had to be a game of some sort, and what were the others doing? Making a catapult?

For a while she had been trying to adjust to her new snake body after finally figuring it out she felt something in her mouth, she had to spit it out. She found that once she did her spit landed on a nearby small rock and once it landed it began to erode through the rock. "Acidic venom? How nice...that's not gross or anything," she said sarcastically to herself, maybe she could use this power to aid in the fight somehow.

While Tenshi was helping the rest of the group with finding more and more rocks to shoot toward the large beast; each time they had gathered enough rocks, the sound of the voice from the neko male shouting out fire was heard. Right after the rocks were fired toward the large beast that was getting closer and closer, hearing a loud painful roar come from the beast. Tenshi was obviously able to tell that they were able to at least hurt it; although something was coming to his mind. What happened to Yukito? His raven hadn't returned yet. Tenshi was truly becoming worried about him as he kept on gathering rocks; while telling himself within his own mind that his raven was doing just fine as well that he would come back just fine too. However, Tenshi could only dream of that as he heard a loud crow-like noise come out of nowhere from throughout the entire plains. His own eyes widened up in shock to hear the painful crow-noise come from the direction where the beast was. "Yukito!!" he called out in sorrow, throwing all the rocks that he had gathered in his hands to the ground; running straight toward the direction where he heard the crow. Tenshi knew he was heading straight toward the beast, so rather than going directly forward; he took a couple of detours through the woods to make it toward the large grassy plains so that he could reach where his raven was.

Within a couple of minutes of running, Tenshi was able to quickly make it toward where he had heard his raven call out in pain. It wasn't too difficult to locate Yukito since he was the darkest thing around the entire plain of green grass. "Yukito!!" Tenshi called out once more in shock to see how his raven was laying on the ground; bleeding an uncontrollable amount of blood, along with his wings broken as though someone had just snapped a branch. Running straight up to his raven, Tenshi kneeled against him with tears rolling down both his cheeks. "Don't you dare die Yukito!!...I...I mean it!...I..I won't forgive you if you die!!" he spoke out toward his raven, while his own voice was breaking down from how many tears were rolling down his cheeks. Yukito was the only other family member he had left in this whole world, even though he was just a bird; it was something that made him feel much more comfortable when he lost his parents and best friend.

"Someone!...H..Help! P..Please! Help me!!.." Tenshi immediately screamed out as loud as he could, not caring if even the large beast that was charging toward the group had heard him or not. He wanted to do anything he could to keep his raven alive, even if it meant his life; he would've done anything he could to keep it alive. Although soon enough, when the painful crowing noise stopped from Yukito; Tenshi's eyes widened up in shock as the tears stopped for a moment. Slowly looking back down toward the grassy floor toward his raven, his eyes stayed widened up in shock for a few moments to see that his raven had completely stopped moving all together. Not a single noise came from the raven, not even a single inch moved from how much pain it must've been in. "N...n....no...No....I..It cant b-be...Yukito...No!!...No!!!!" he screamed out, as the tears continued once more to roll down his cheeks; Tenshi's anger, sadness, and dark heart within himself began to grow even more as the grassy plains around him began to blow as though there was a storm brewing around. Even though all it was, was simply Tenshi's aura sky-rocketing over it's limit. His own breathing began to become much more heavy as his wings began to spread out to their opposite sides.

The sky over the large grassy plains began to darken, while Tenshi's body began to become covered in darkness from how much sadness filled his body. Slowly standing up to his feet, he glared over the direction of where the beast was charging after the group. "I'll tear you to pieces..." he whispered quietly to himself with his own face hidden within all the darkness that surrounded his body. Immediately within a couple of seconds of staring toward where the beast was, Tenshi's whole body vanished as he bolted forward toward where the beast was. His feet barely touching the ground from his wings allowing him to hover just above the ground to move much faster. "I...I'll kill you...." he continued to whisper to himself while the tears kept rolling down his cheeks from how angry he was.

From what seemed like nowhere to Snugger, a human figure with black wings appeared to claim the body of the bird. He was genuinly upset with the situation but his emotions meant nothing to the beast. Snugger was trained to destroy and kill, he knew nothing else and care for nothing but obeying his master. The person didn't seem like much of a threat so he turned his focus back to the rocks that had come flying threw the air.
At the edge of the wooded area, Inuyami was waiting to make her move when the rocks had struck the monster. She had gotten distracted by Tenshi running out to tend to his pet but seeing that it was also distracted by Tenshi, now was the time to make her move. Darting across the wild grass she came up and was now behind him. She could hear Tenshi saying something under his breath but being this close to the monster she had no time to listen.
Inuyami's pure desire to fight the Snugger was building inside. She could feel a strange energy stacking in her belly, it was making her arms tingle. In her mind, she replayed every scene she'd ever seen from an anime fight. She lifted her arms and closed her eyes, using mosty hope and wishful thought she let out a loud yell.

"GOOO AWAAAAY!" She screamed as a small blast of energy flew from her palms and hit the Snugger in the center of his spine. The force blew Inuyami back on her rump and she was defenceless as the beast turned and face her. Damn, I'm done for! she thought in a panic before the sun was blocked out by a hovering form. Squinting she could make out what it was, Tenshi had come to avenge Yukito. Snugger began to swing at him as if he was as annoying as the bird had been.

Back in the forest, Garrie had taken notice of Naga's toxic saliva. Thinking on his feet, he grabbed the rock she'd spat on and carefully placed it amoung the pile stacked ontop of the tree.

"That'll be exactly what we need!" Garrie said with a nod to Naga. He cut the vines again and sent the second load of rocks air born. More of the rocks landed on the beast back side this time, the acid rock making the most impact. Snugger howled in pain as the skin on his back began to bubble and burn. He was knocked off balance by the pain and heaviness of the rocks.

((Hey guys wait up!))
Vixen helped lift rocks onto the catapult and fire them, all the while aware of a growing heat spreading out from her heart.when Yukito was strew k down, she froze in her steps.a strange pulsing energy surrounded her, and her eyes turned red as she started to cry.the energy around her pulsed,this time giving off intense heat, and caused the earth beneath her to tremble.suddenly, she was surrounded in flames, and her body morphed into the shape of a large demon fox with nine tails, black fur that seemed to be made of fire, and glowing red eyes.the beast was about the size of a horse, and was clearly angry.Vixen-in-fox-form charged at snugger, teeth bared, and attacked with flaming claws."you will pay for your evil deeds!" she growled.

( I hurt my hand so replies might be a bit short >.< )

It had seemed that the closer Tenshi had gotten toward the large beast, the more his anger and sadness grew within him. This monster had killed the last thing that was important to him; now there truly was nothing left in his family. Becoming more and more enraged with the thought of losing his family and best friend; the only thing his thoughts were on at the moment was killing this monster. By the time Tenshi was able to see the large monster, his eyes widened up only in thoughts that he had finally found his target. Everything else didn't matter any longer, the only thing that truly mattered at this point to Tenshi was he got revenge for Yukito's death. Getting closer and closer toward the beast, he noticed how it began to swing it's arms toward Tenshi to hit him. Seeing that, he quickly came to an immediate stop; only to end up grabbing the large beast by it's arms. "You...I...I'll destroy you!" he called out, his own eyes still filled with sadness and tears still rolling down his cheeks. The darkness within his own heart grew even more as Tenshi began to squeeze the arms of the large beast in his grip.

Right before he was planning on attacking toward it, noticing how many more rocks fell from the sky to hit the beast on the spine; only to cause it to fall to the ground, the rocks this time were much different. It seemed that each one of them had what looked like acid on them, causing the back of the beast to burn much more than simple rocks would've done. Seeing this simply caused a devilish smile to spread across Tenshi's face, just seeing the beast in pain was such an amusement to him. Although soon enough, seeing what looked like a fiery black-furred fox with dark red eyes and nine tails come out from the woods, caused Tenshi's attention to go right over toward it for a moment before looking down at the beast with his arms still in his own grip. Just glaring down at the beast, Tenshi's grip grew even more tighter as he began to pull back as though he was going to rip off it's arms. His lust for vengeance at this point was beyond anything he had ever felt before.

Blood began to flood from the area where Snugger's arms had been torn off. He howled frantically in pain, turning undevided attention to Tenshi. Such a punie insect of a man was doing much more damage the could of been expected. Snugger swung his arms at the fallen angel, clapping him between his hands like a bug. Applying pressure to his hands he attempted to mash Tenshi into nothingness.

In the meant time, Inuyami had gotten to her feet. She could do little more then watch in awe as Tenshi unleashed his new found powers. To see his strength, the gore of flesh, meat and bone ripping, sent terror threw her spine and a feeling of deep dispair and sickness filled her belly.

Back at the site where the group had been gathering and fiering stones, Garrie had taken notice of the missing two member of the group.

"The angel and the dog... where did they go? Did any one see?" He asked in a sease of fire.

Vixen kept and landed on the back of the monster.immediately, she began tearing into snugger, ripping and tearing at the creatures back and neck, her teeth and claws razor sharp and flaming, causing the maximum amount of damage possible."DIE!!!"

Shin at this point was sitting on a tree branch not too far from the fighting going on between the newcomers and the Snugger; he stared at the fighting going on as though he had a bit of amusement of seeing this. Even though it may had been the newcomers who were doing better than the Snugger, just seeing the beast in pain and blood squirting out of it's body made it so enjoyable to see it. The tree he sat in was on the exact opposite side of the forest the group was within; it may had been an extremely long distance from the fighting, but shockingly enough he was still able to see everything as though he were helping them all fight. Although soon enough, when Shin had seen how the beast wasn't going to survive much longer within the battle; he became bored and stood right up to his own feet on the branch. "Hmph..I'm shocked Lord VIRUS called that disgrace of a beast..one of his pet." he whispered to himself before vanishing into the darkness. Soon enough, within about three minutes; Shin had appeared right back within the same room as where VIRUS was. Kneeled down right beside him as though he were reporting in after a mission. "Sorry my lord, I was watching the fight between the Snugger and those newcomers. They truly are a powerful bunch. What shall we do with them?..."

Tenshi at this point was noticing how much blood was spraying out from the beast's missing arms, seeing the amount of blood it was losing just made it even more obvious to Tenshi that this monster was going to die. Although strangely enough, it wasn't enough to him; he wanted the beast to suffer more pain for what it had done. Although, right before Tenshi could arm the beast any longer; the last thing he was expecting was that this monster could still move anymore. It just so happen that the beast still had much strength left within it's body; enough that it was able to slap it's arms to try and crush Tenshi in between it. Shockingly enough, the beast itself still had plenty of strength left in it since the amount of pressure it was pushing was unimaginable. It felt as though Tenshi's own arms, to try and push the large monster's arms were going to break in half from being unable to push them apart. Luckily, right before he was going to become a crushed pancake by the monster's arms; seeing the fiery fox-like creature come out of nowhere from behind the large beast to claw against's the beast's back and neck. Tenshi was able to put enough of his own strength to get away from the large monster's grip. 'Yukito...I wont d-die...No...!..I can't die. I will...avenge you. I swear I will!' he thought to himself, clenching his fists tighter than before as his own fists began to bleed through his fingers due to how tightly he was clenching them.

The team's efforts had provailed, the Snugger had fallen in battle and now laid dead. Gusts of wind filled the air with a copper stench as the Snugger's blood soaked into the digital dirt beneith him. Garrie emerged from the woods and approched the three who had done the dirtiest of the work. It was an amazing sight; a fallen angel, a giant fox demoness, and a bloodied dog demoness all standing triumpantly around their first victory.

"Isn't it going to turn into digital waste or something?" Inuyami asked in between waves of physical sickness. The over powering smell of blood and death mixed with the grusome images before her were making her head spin. She closed her eyes tightly, imagining it bursting into fractal codes and dissapearing like in most any video game.

"No." Garrie said staring down into the blank eyes of the dead beast. "From what I've seen decomposition is the same here as I would assume it is in your home world." Another blast of wind blew over the field stirring up dust and blowing it across the lake. The cat demon looked up at the dog demoness with pity, but there was little he could offer as support or comfort.

Back in the mountains in the North-West, VIRUS had recieved the report from his underling Shin. The news was unwelcome, his dear poor Snugger, it was his youngest and least powerful of pets. VIRUS shifted uncomfotably in his chair before standing with a stiff and aggitated mannor.

"My Snugger... My poor dear little Snuggly-poo!!!" VIRUS spun on his toes twice looking up at the ceiling. "Oh Shin, did he atleast do some damages before he fell to them? Did he cause any pain to those horrid fools?"

((WE NOW HAVE A MAP!!! Here is the photo link: http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...20120130_1.jpg I'll also be putting it on the first page, and in the OOC board: http://www.menewsha.com/forum/commun...nter-room.html Remember to subscribe to the OOC board so that you can get all the inside info on this RP))

And on the side lines a scantily clad naga. Staring off with an air headed look on her face, until she snapped top attention. "Well that was fun, do we get any points?" Maybe she could act as the cheering squad seeing that she was unsure how useful she was without legs maybe she could use a weapon of some kind...specifically maybe a slingshot or a bazooka, that would work. She looked over to Inuyama and slithered over to her paying attention to the females mostly, men just seemed to phase out of her view.

"Are you alright? Do you want me to kiss you and make you feel better?" She wasn't trying to sound flirtatious she just had the whole 'kiss an injury and make it feel better" thing going on. "Actually I'm venomous, kissing could be fatal...that's a shame."

Seeing that snugger had fallen, Vixen shifted back to her original form and stood, dizzy, tired and covered in blood over the dead beast."so that's what we can do.I must admit, using these powers is very draining.but also...im not sure how to describe it.I didn't realize that I had the capacity to kill...oh, god..." she trailed off, shaking, and turned around quickly before falling to her knees and throwing up.tears streamed down her dirty face as the reality of what they had done hit her full on."we killed it...we killed a living creature..." clearly Vixen was going to need time to get used to this.

Finally, with the death of the beast before the three; Tenshi simply glared down at the creature's unmoving body. His eyes still showing much anger, while his own face covered in dry blood from his tears drying up the blood that had sprayed onto his face. Even though the beast may had been dead now, that changed nothing that Yukito was still dead and nothing was going to bring him back. Noticing how the neko male had started coming over; having the female dog-like girl speak up on asking if the beast was going to become something like digital trash and vanish or something like that. Only to hear that wasn't going to happen, Tenshi simply turned around and made his way over toward Yukito's dead body once more. The sky itself slowly beginning to clear up once more due to his emotions starting to regain control. Walking over toward the dead body, he kneeled beside it with sadness in his eyes. Tears being unable to form at this point due to how much he had already cried. Tenshi simply stared down at his dead raven, without him; they wouldn't have had a distraction to get the catapult ready nor would they had found the powers that had just revealed. 'Yukito...I truly hope you are in a better place now.' he thought to himself, before he began to dig a small hole in the ground as a grave for his raven with his own bare hands.

Shin kneeled down quietly as he kept his head down and face slightly hidden within the darkness as he normally did. Part of him kind of knew how VIRUS was going to act from losing one of his pets, while another part of him was rather shocked from hearing how VIRUS was treating as though the Snugger was one of his favorite pets; even though he had plenty more. Staying completely quiet until spoken to, only to end up hearing a question from VIRUS if the Snugger had harmed the newcomers in anyway whatsoever. "The Snugger had killed one of their pets. It seems to be the fallen angel's raven. From what I heard, it's name was Yukito. It affected the angel in a very strange way; his power completely sky-rocketed. Although the Snugger was able to harm his arms a bit. Other than that sire, not exactly." Shin explained with his voice just above a whisper so that VIRUS was able to hear. "What shall we do sire?...do you wish for me to get vengeance on those fools?" he asked, knowing all too well that since he was living here much longer than any of those group members were. He knew his powers completely, so he would easily be able to wipe the floor with them.

((I'm so sorry everyone!!!!! I've been super busy with my niece and soon to be born nephew, here is the post. T^T I'M SO SORRY!))

Inuyami looked at Naga wondering if her saliva was truely acidic or if it was something she could turn on and off. The thought of the snake woman's words sent a ping threw the dog woman's body. A mixture of shock and excitement crawled up her spine and made her heart jump out of beat for a moment. Her mind cleared and she smiled.

"I'm alright, I just didn't know I could do something like that. This place kind of reminds me of that movie... The Matrix. If you believe it... you truely CAN do it." Inuyami looked at her hands to see if she'd damaged them by using her energy blast. The skin was slightly pinker then normal, it looked like she'd been pulling on a rope for half an hour, but there was no pain.

Garrie watched as the fox woman vomited, with sorrow in his stomach. This was obviously getting to the girls, more so to Vixen. He walked over to her and place a hand on her shoulder.

"You did very well. If it hadn't of been for you're massive form, we may not of beaten the Snugger. And you," Garrie turned his attention to Tenshi who'd been burrying the body of his late raven. "Your loss brought out you true powers... I know you're full of sorrow, but Yukito made it possible for us to get the upper hands. He was a couragous and mighty warrior." His hand fell from Vixen's shoulder and his eyes scanned the large field. "We should return to the shelter within the trees, beast will be drawn here by the smell of death and rotting meat."

VIRUS smiled at Shin's ambitions and drive to destroy. He was one of his favorite underlings. This man seemed to share the lust of chaos almost as much as VIRUS himself, which made the evil ruler giddy.

"Oh Shin," VIRUS began, his voice danced threw the air and to the bowing apprentice. "Vengence will come in due time, but for now do me a favor and toy with our new friends. Perhaps Snugger was to serious and he frightened the pethetic fools. The just attacked him before he even got the chance to rip the head off even one of his dollies. Will you do that for me, dear Shin? Will you play with our friends and return to me with a report?" VIRUS' eyes sparked red as he looked at Shin threw the dim light.

Vixen looked up at the neko with tear-filled eyes."that's all well and good, but...we killed it! It was a living creature and we killed it." She said sorrowfully.she stood up."I suppose we should get back to shelter..." she muttered.

By the time Tenshi had finished burying his raven, both his hands were bleeding and covered in dirt from how difficult it was to dig a large enough hole to let his raven rest peacefully in his own grave. Especially when it was with his own bare hands and not a single shovel to help him to dig. Although, his hands may had been in pain; the pain in his hands was nothing to him compared to losing the only other thing he had close enough to a family. Slowly standing up, he pressed both his hands together to pray lightly for Yukito's happy after-life; before turning his head back to look at the group who seemed as though they were all quite aware of their powers now. When the neko-male explained how it would be best to head back to shelter due to the smell of a just killed beast would draw other wild beasts to come. Tenshi just nodded quietly as he lowered his head down for a bit, at this point; he would simply follow this group to possibly find a way back to reality where he could just live his life already. Nothing else seemed to really matter at this point to him.

Listening to VIRUS speak about how vengeance would come on toward the group later on. Shin just kept his head down to listen to what he would be ordered to do, only to end up hearing that VIRUS wanted Shin to play with the new group that had entered The Room. Nodding quietly to his command, Shin stood right back up to his own feet for a moment. "Yes sire..." he spoke with his voice just above a whisper before pressing one of the small white buttons on the side of his jacket; only for the button to open up to drop out two strange black pills with a red cross on each one. He quickly drank both of them and swallowed them without so much as a drink of water. The pills were needed to keep his illness down due to using the power of controlling blood. Soon enough right after drinking them, Shin was immediately covered into darkness for a quick second before vanishing and traveling back toward where he had met the group fighting with the Snugger.

(I noticed my girl doesn't have a name while in the room xp and I'm thinking of a way for her to change the mood, it's getting deprssing xD )

((I thought her name was Naga... In any case, yes a more up beat swing for a page or two would be fun))

(Nope, there's nothing there in that part of the profile xD yeah..maybe she could hit on Inu or something xP )

((Yeah we need a cheering up.))
Vixen looked towards the trees where their only shelter was for now."we might have to change shelters after a while.all of us together will draw unwanted attention if we stay in one place too long." She mused, trying to forget the scent of death hanging in the air around them.

"We should be fine here for the time being." Garrie told Vixen unaware that Shin had been in the area. In the time he had spent in The Room, Shin and himself had had a couple of run in with one another that never ended in a peaceful parting. He tossed a log on the fire one they returned to the camp site.

(You can do whatever you'd like ;-) ;-)!!! Are you sure? It says "my name in the room is: Naga" doesn't it? *Goes to look*)
((*edit* Oh I see, I fixed the quote glitch. Let me know if you've chosen a name for her, I'll put it in for you.))
