*Mind*
Kai : *Damn... She must be important, to make them search for her so quickly*
Mor : *I wonder why ? I have all the informations she gave, but she confusing like crazy... and what's that Genies, equations thing ?*
Auroch : *No time for that Twins. Fast retreat and regroup protocol. We will analyze the infos later*
''Voice''
Kai : ''You're a weird raccoon, you know that... This was a nice talk, but we have to go... Sleep well. Mor, now !''
From one of the lower branches of the tree, Mor, who grabbed a small silenced-pistol, shoot a microscopic dart coated with a sleeping mixture.
The sleeping mixture was specially made to make the person sleep for a short period of time and to temporally induce a slight state of confusion, quite useful for any ''Go and Forget'' operation.
The Twins run quickly into the shadows of the forest, sure that the state of the raccoon would be attributed to the sting of some bad insect, surely common in forest/jungle areas like this one.

April 25
Nix is such a pain. She wandered off again. Hid herself in the roots of a tree, and passed out. For like five hours. Lexun and I had to go looking for her and didn't find her until it was almost dark. Took her a while to wake up to so we had to drag her ringed tail back to camp. If it wouldn't get me fired I'd slap her silly.
Snowden thinks Nix got bit by a bug or ate something weird. She seemed foggier than usual after she woke up.
It smells weird here.
April 26
Day started the same as any in this semi-tropical forest place hell hole. But then we heard something. Hucky has gone off to check it out before we rev the engines. Sounded like a tractor hitting a tree.

Rhysha knew she was supposed to be looking for the outsiders, but she was too afraid to move. There were wraithwolves, and she didn't want them to notice her. Two big males, and a female lounging in a tree near them. The mating season is never a good time to be moving about..but outsiders wouldn't know that. She watched as the two males butted heads, and the loud noise made her flatten her ears. All she could do was hope that they ignored her, for all she had was a spear, and that was no match for even one of them. The worst thing that could happen was for them to focus on prey instead of each other...

Hucta and Lexun continued to hear the odd thuds as they wandered to investigate. Snowden wasn't too keen on them going but felt that since it seemed to be repeating that there was a chance it was someone and not just something.
"Sure you don't want me to just fly up the ridge?"
Hucta shook her head. "And land where? If its people and they're not the friendly type, someone getting the drop on them might not be taken to kindly."
Hucta cut some plants with her machete. "Besides, it can't be but another twenty yards. See anything?"
Lexun scrambled up one of the near by trees. "Uh, nope." She hopped down.
Hucta shrugged and they continued their barreling through the thick undergrowth. Hucta was a tad peeved to be stuck on a humanitarian mission like this in unfamiliar territory.
Her mood didn't improve much when they rounded a tree and spotted the wraithwolves. They both paused. Lexun's expression of indifference changed quite quickly to one of panic. Hucta's paw was on her pistol very quickly.
"What are they?" she asked Lexun in a whisper.
Lexun shook her head. "I don't know… cousins of Apolytam perhaps?"
"Not enough legs…" Hucta answered. "Look, back there by that tree…" Hucta had spotted Rhysha.
"Don't think they're her pets? She looks frightened."
Hucta then noticed that the wraithwolves had stopped their head butting and seemed to be looking at them.
"Oh dear, Lexun…" Hucta pointed her gun at the beasts before her.
"I left my gun in the jeep. And, uh, not ready for any electrics quite yet."

The two wraithwolves reared up on their hindpaws, letting loose hissing growls. Each one bared its teeth, clacking their claws together...
Rhysha could not believe the ignorance of the outsiders. In order to capture them, she'd have to save them!
She jumped up, praying to the gods that she be swift, and howled, hissed, and mimicked the chittering of the wraithwolves. This would at least draw the female away..giving the outsiders a chance..
It worked! The female was focusing on her instead of the outsiders!
And so was one of the males.
Engkori!!
Rhysha ran as fast as she could, praying as she did.
The two wraithwolves had taken to the trees, and it wouldn't be long before they overtook her.. She had to find the outsiders camp! They had to have warrior weapons! She hoped...
The third wraithwolf licked its lips, looking at the prey before it. Fresh meat. It tensed its legs and began to bound after the fox.

Auroch. So far we have been very lucky. Being dropped in the middle of nowhere, searching for lost people while being lost, like searching for a Crystal in the middle of the Spira Bay... But things aren't as bad as they might look...
It now has been a full day, since the first encounter with one of the units of the Out-1, now clearly identified as Tinis Outsiders...
We now have a path, a hint that we can follow, while not being much, it's more than nothing... The Twins are able to scrape some informations by listening to the random chats of the Out-1, usually nothing of interest, if not for something that seems to be always repeated... Some mentions about a mysterious Equation ?
Right now, the Out-1 are still ''camping'', but the Twins are reporting that some of them left their camp to investigate a sound similar to the one we heard a day ago... I can't shake the feeling that we are being followed... !?!
*Mind*
Auroch : Twins ! Come back quickly. This isn't right... It's the same sound as last time... Hanar, with your fancy computer, can't you determine where it come from ? I have a bad feeling about this...
Hanar : Sure, I can try... But there's probably too much ambient sounds to target the source precisely and !? Auroch ! South of you !
-As Auroch and Hanar moved to face the incoming threat... They were far from guessing the danger they would have to face. Coming from some deep bushed near the trees, at not more than 30m, 2 large creatures of black and red, all claws and teeth and with an angry look in their eyes.-
Auroch : Damn ! What are those freaking monsters ?
Hanar : From the color of their fur and their skin... I think they are Wraithwolves ? Extremely dangerous, huge claws, thick skin... and they move fast...
Auroch : Damn ! Must be adults too... We can't outrun them to reach the Out-1's path... We will have to go with this clearing. Power your armor and your gun, you will cover my back. I hope we will not attract those Tinis Outsiders, this is bad enough right now, without being discovered...
-With the creatures moving slowly toward them, Auroch let go a deep roar, hoping to make them flee... They weren't so lucky... The Wraithwolves instead leaped on him, but his quick reflexes saved both their lives. As the creatures jumped on him, Auroch quickly boosted the shield of his OMA, making it discharge violently and making the wraithwolves bounce on it, stunning them for a few precious seconds. He grabbed his more powerful weapon, his Bullpup specially modified with piercing ammo, and started firing.-

Rhysha ran and ran.
She knew that the female was above her, in the trees, waiting for her to stumble.
The male wasn't far behind, crashing through the jungle.
She didn't know where she was going...she had gotten turned around, and could only run.
She heard it happen before she felt it.. The female had jumped.
On her now, snapping at her neck, a great weight threw Rhysha to the ground..
Then a snapping sound, and it was gone.
She turned around, clutching her spear, to see the male...killing the female it had been fighting over. Its claws tore straight through its back, paralyzing it. Then it turned its red eyes onto Rhysha. And it smiled....
Oh no no no no!!!!
Rhysha jumped up, her body given a false renewal as she realized its true intent.
Had to keep running!
There was..a clearing?
Perhaps the outsiders....
No.
Two more, and they saw her.
But..more importantly, they saw the larger male behind her.
Please fight them leave me leave me alone..
She ducked, hoping the movement would make it jump...
Now she desperately hoped that those she saw, fighting with them, were friends...three wraithwolves wouldn't fight for long if there was prey near by...

The last overcharge of his shield had left it almost empty, but at least they were alive... for now...
Since the appearance of those 2 beasts and the present moment, only a handful of time had passed... As well as a round of piercing bullets and half the charge of Hanar's laser-gun ; He always was a little nervous with his gun.
The 2 Males were seemingly backing out a little, but it was probably a tactic to try to induce a false sense of security, in order for us to let our guard down, while they recovered and prepared for another assault... Of course, Auroch wouldn't let this happens, but the fight would have been more fair, if the Twins were already there.
Using this short pause to think of a proper tactic to adopt ; Auroch was a bit surprised to hear AND see something emerging fast from the depth of the jungle !
Someone, suddenly crouching half-way between the jungle and Auroch and about 30m from the Beasts, deep black fur arranged in a strange manner and... with no clothes that could be seen, he noted...
Before he could even yell at the black-outsider to run for a cover behind them... Another Male jumped into the clearing, even larger than the other ; The beast was covered in blood, which wasn't a good sign, but against all odds, he turned his eyes toward the other 2 Males !
Using that precious moment of territorial ''confusion'' between the Males, Hanar discretely but swiftly grabbed the Outsider's arm and pulled it behind Auroch... This, sadly, also ''grabbed'' the attention of the Beasts, who started to growl furiously at them !
Auroch had no other choices now, but to quickly unload and load his Bullpup with his explosive rounds... being discovered was now the LAST thing he was worried, wondering if his strength alone will be enough to defeat such horrible foes ?
Suddenly... Auroch quickly turned his back to the Beasts, protecting the other 2 people, as a big and extremely bright flash of light, along with a large puff of smoke ''exploded'' in the middle of the place ! ...the Twins !
Mor and Kai minds, alternating : *Quick !* *Run between the trees we are on !* *You must reach the road.* *There's a wide ravine on a side of the road.* *You will know what to do next.* *We will slow them down.* *Run !*
On this exchange of thoughts, Mor and Kai started to jump from tree to tree, following behind Auroch, Hanar and the Outsider they were dragging, as they were throwing knives on the feet of the Beasts, hoping to hurt their legs enough so they would stop their chase... Before the deep ravine...

The curious bounding away of the stranger and the turning of one of the beasts gave Hucta a small glimmer of hope. But when the other male simply glanced at the other as it left, instead of bounding after, she cocked her gun.
"Uh, not sure if that will do much good Hucta," whispered Lexun. Lexun then chucked her machete at the beast before her. It slapped it across the head, as the handle impacted. Only a couple scratches from the blade as it spun around in deflection.
Hucta was already running by that point of course. Lexun followed suit. Perhaps it was the brief confusion of the beast between its prey options, or the smacking upside the head had stunned it, but they were both surprised how far they had gotten before they could hear it giving chase. Lexun was easily faster than Hucta but did not opt to out pace her friend, instead only catching up with the fox. But Lexun was also doing her best to concentrate and use her strength for another purpose.
They leaped and bounded as necessary, but the sound of the crashing, thrashing wraithwolf came nearer and nearer. They crossed a small brook without to much problem and burst out of the brush not far from where the group had parked.
"Get in the jeeps and get going!" yelled Hucta as she didn't bother opening the door to one of the vehicles.
Nix, Snowden, and Darius clamored into the other jeep as Lexun hopped into the back of the first one. However before either engine turned over, it was before them. Snowden and Darius were already reaching for their guns. Hucta was pondering driving over it. Nix was listening to the sound of electrons being ripped off atoms and transported by biochemical means to a capacitor hooked up to a anode. The wraithwolf padded towards the forward jeep, possibly trying to size up the big metal box before it.
Echos of the confrontations elsewhere were heard moments before Lexun leaped onto the hood of the forward jeep, spread her wings as far out as she could, leaned over and bared her teeth. Hucta's eyes went wide and she pulled her limbs away from the metallic parts of the jeep where she could.
"Is that gun fire?" said Snowden moments before Lexun, not any where nearly fully charged opened her mouth and sent arcs of electricity towards the wraithwolf. As Hucta feared, some of the arcs did instead opt to go to the jeep. But at least a few hundred amps managed to get forced through the wraithwolf.
As the beast fell over, Lexun could quite easily smell smoke.
"Hucta, be a dear and get out of the jeep. I think I might of caused a fire."

Day: Gave up counting
I have not kept up with my logs, but it is good now, we are in a jungle, almost feels like home. Though less things are trying to kill us at the ground level though the canopy is not as large or heigh as we're used to. But at least it is war....
Sa slammed her book shut, the monkeys had got far too close for her liking. She being an arboreal type herself knew when territory in the canopy was being invaded. She was jumped on by the monkeys that ripped at her with their teeth and claws.
She was larger and managed to throw them off but did not expect the attack, Ta shouted "They want it!",
Ta sprayed the most vile stench known Sa was largely immune the monkeys less so. They fled the stench a few tried to maintain the attack but the chemical attack was simply too much, they could not see. Some held on but fell from the branches,
Ta said quietly "They know we're here."
"Who are they?" Sa replied.
"We will know in time, they didn't expect my attack" Ta said before saying "We have to keep moving".
-- OOC: feel free to pick up the stench.

Deep in the Aatuylvan Jungle
Inside an old and crumbling castle, far too deep in the jungle for even the Deep Patrol to venture, a meeting was called.
The language was old...older than most spoken in Aatuylva, but the emotion behind it..the meaning, was universal, as the robed figures prepared torches and lit candles for dark rituals:
The time was coming near...everything falling into place.
The coming of these new outsiders was unexpected, but their involvement has pushed the timetable ahead. He will be coming soon.
------------------------------------
In the dark places...the easy places...something...stirred. It writhed in the shadows, in the dark holes and graves of forgotten past. It had been waiting, for so...very long. But no longer...blood had been shed, and more will be shed before freedom will be gained....
Not enough... Not enough...
More blood. More death. Chaos.
Darkness will spread.
And it will feed.

OOC: In the interests of reviving this before it dies, I am going to, from this point on, assume the Suikodani are no longer in this thread, like they bugged out, as he isn't going to be active anytime within any reasonable time-frame. Those of you who just got here and still wish to participate, or have changed your minds about joining, please refer to the sign-up thread link on the first page. Thank you.
