The More things Change [Open-ish, Pre-podpop]

Oct 02, 2010 15:22

Leon was, somehow, 900 kajillion light-years away from everything and everyone he ever knew. But what was he doing right now?

Walking through a ruined city that was crawling with raging infected in an attempt to locate and rescue any survivors. Again. Not that this work wasn't his stock and trade, but one would think that fate would have something ( Read more... )

A green bloodhound was picking his way through the city sniffing carefully seeking out anyone in need of his assistance.

This probably would be a great excuse to rally the Outsiders. Beastboy mused as an after thought rounding a corner, Do I just call them I wonder? Would they come? I mean it's not like we have to do much. Find the sick people get them to the med bay right?

The sound of hoof beats on stone nearby carried far enough to warn someone of the approach of a young and very restless Andalite. Well, 'restless' wasn't the right word anymore, he'd left 'restless' behind...ages and ages ago. Stupid, ridiculous ship! Upsetting his ability to track time! It was ridiculous! Infuriating! How dare Stacy do this to him?!

If only there was someone around that he could make pay for all these indignities...

Beastboy looked up from where he was tracking, the noise catching his attention.

What the heck? His dog vision wasn't so great so he shifted back to regular form to get a better look at this new arrival, it was like no creature, alien, mutant or otherwise that he could identify.

"Uh...YO!" He called waving his hand to get the persons attention, "Yo dude over here! Seen any sick dudes?"

mynameisax October 4 2010, 02:33:13 UTC

< 'Dude'? >

Ax would have frozen, insulted to the core, if his body had been properly under his control. However, he was less coordinated than usual, and instead stumbled and nearly smacked into a wall; which only infuriated him further.

< I am not you're 'dude'! > he shouted in thought-speak.

changelingdude October 4 2010, 02:38:31 UTC

"Whoa!" Beastboy clutched at his head for a minute, "Easy d- guy easy!" He held up his hands in the universal sign he was unarmed, "I'm just a guy trying to help out, this sickness business is bad news you know?"

A part of him noticed that this person spoke in his head like the red tailed hawk he'd met earlier. Maybe they knew each other?

mynameisax October 4 2010, 03:40:41 UTC

< I have no idea what you're talking about, > Ax seethed, tail arching high over his back. Oh yes, now this little green alien wanted to talk. To be conciliatory. Well, too bad for him, Ax was not in the mood to be placated!

He started circling his opponent, all four eyes focused on him now.

changelingdude October 4 2010, 03:44:29 UTC

Beastboy felt his stomach do a flip, that pointed tip on his tail didn't look like it was for roasting marshmallows.

"The sickness dude, there was an announcement on the comms, some kinda virus escaped and it's making everyone really really mad."

He shifted his stance a little opting for a defensive stance ready to spring out of the way if the blue furry dude charged.

"My name's Beastboy, what's yours?" He added trying to defuse the situation.

mynameisax October 4 2010, 04:48:49 UTC

Ax hesitated for a moment, trying to remember if he'd checked the comms recently. His head and vision swam and he shook his head, staggering sideways again before he stabilized himself again.

No, no. It didn't matter! None of this mattered! He needed...something. A fight. Yes! Yes, he wanted a fight! Finally, a clear cold certainty on this stupid ship!

The first blow was clumsy and slower than usual; but even slow and clumsy, Ax was fast. Fortunately for Beastboy, the clumsiness meant that he over-extended himself, so he couldn't follow it up with a second strike -- for the moment.

changelingdude October 4 2010, 13:57:34 UTC

And where Ax was fast, Beastboy was out of practice. He let out a cry as the tailblade pierced his shoulder and felt the air forced from his lungs as the tip lodged in his shoulder blade.

With a fresh fire of pain searing in his mind Beastboy instinctively went for the best defense he could come up with at the drop of a hat and shifted into a turtle sucking himself inside the shell and falling to the ground with a clatter.

OK...ow!

mynameisax October 4 2010, 22:24:39 UTC

Even in his fury, insta-morphing gave Ax a pause. But only a short one.

< How did you do that?! > he demanded, clumsily kicking the turtle against a wall. < Where did you get the technology?! Come out of there and fight me! >

changelingdude October 4 2010, 22:34:24 UTC

OK maybe turtle wasn't the ideal form at the moment but it saved him for a few seconds. He felt himself bounce off the wall and shifted into rabbit form dashing...limping to put some distance between them before he shifted back clutching at his shoulder, man that hurt!

"You want the long story or the short story? I like the long story better because it gives me more time before you get all stabby again."

mynameisax October 5 2010, 00:18:57 UTC

Actually, now that Beastboy had come out of his shell, it occurred to Ax that he didn't really care much about the technology. It clearly wasn't as good as Andalite technology anyway, since he was still hurt.

Instead he gave chase.

changelingdude October 5 2010, 03:05:52 UTC

Beastboy let out a girlish shriek and retaliated by shifting into a gorilla and swinging a massive backhand at AX trying to knock him away. The alien was fast but was he strong? Beastboy hoped not because he really didn't want to hurt the guy just incapacitate him and get him help.

...well OK maybe he wanted to hurt AX a little. That shoulder wound really hurt!

mynameisax October 5 2010, 23:48:20 UTC

Too focused on attacking to dodge, Ax's tail blade whistled past Beastboy's face as the blow connected and sent him sprawling. The Andalite's hooves clattered against the paving stones as he tried to regain his footing.

changelingdude October 6 2010, 00:02:21 UTC

Beastboy pounded his chest and let out a primal holler before shifting back into his regular for.

"One for one dude, we don't have to fight over nothing."

mynameisax October 6 2010, 07:46:24 UTC

< Nothing? Nothing?! This isn't nothing! >

Yes, apparently they did have to fight over nothing. At least, as far as Ax was concerned. He was angry, he was injured, he was furious, and he was not going down without a fight.

As soon as he got back up on his hooves, he charged Beastboy again.
