Vayond

Edmund siad, "Think? I know they are. She was all brused and battered in the woods."

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Kay was struck dumb for a few minutes as she was hustled out the door of the Cup & Platter and into a security speeder. For several minutes the ridiculous question of who would do the cooking in the Cup & Platter ran through her head.

Finally she spoke up again. "How do you know my class? And why would this be important enough to bring before the Chairman?"

Return of the Fountain Fellowship
Piper just rolled her eyes at Stretch's comment, she was used to them by now, and shoved him towards Cale's speeder. She saw Raven, Cale and Shrims were already inside, so she jumped in right after Stretch. "I'm Piper, by the way." she said, turning to Raven once she got on the speeder.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Raven got into the speeder quickly; after sheathing her sword, of course. She turned to look at Piper, and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Piper," she said. "Though I wish I could say the same about our circumstances."

She glanced over at the others in the speeder, and wondered if asking them for their names would be a good idea.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Rachel hopped in the last seat on the speeder, Stretch shrugged then jumped on the trunk, as he did four security speeders sped around the corner towards them, “WOULD YOU GET GOING!” yelled Stretch. He spun around so that he was facing the cop speeders and opened fire on them.

Cale fired up the engine and took off down the street; Stretch shot the driver of one of the land speeders, causing it to veer off the road and into a building with in huge explosion.

The squad vehicles fired back with a laser cannon mounted on one of the roofs. Which then struck a pole in front of them, collapsing it and sending it to the ground; Cale veered the speeder to the left to avoid hitting it.

This sent Stretch rolling to the ground, he stood up quickly and waved Cale off, they had a plan if something like this were to happen. Stretch would pick up Scrappy and radio the Maximals while the others headed to an old library which would serve as a hiding place for the time being.

The soldier smirked "This Jedi is a rebel and is the same man we have been looking for, last night he murdered five of our men and made a mockery out of the senate. The Chairman did not take kindly to that so he ordered that anyone who was affiliated with him should be arrested. You are affiliated with him"

Several hundred Kilometers above the Dittopian surface Shono the Maximal was flying a scouting mission with VACS along for the ride. Well not really, VAC's was the mission.

A few weeks ago Space Case had reported that the planet was sealed off by a yellow laser field, and that only a object the size of twoo feet could get through undetected... VACS was under that, so they would squeeze him into a tiny capsule and send him down to the planet.

"You ready VACs?" he asked to the small Maximal in his bomb bay "Why do I always fall from space?" VACS replied "Cause your tiny?" Shono lamated, before VACS could respond Shono said "Were above drop sight... Dropping in three, two, one! See you next fall!!!"

Vayond: The shadowed hunters

Gabriel looked out the window, his uncle gave him the signal, and he leapt up. Drawing his sword in a fluid motion as he did, cutting down the nearest person near him. A young man bent over a drink, then stabbed bar tender in the chest. The poor man fell over a table, crushing it and this caused the men around the table to stand up, in a drunken stagger. He quickly spun and dispatched them all.

This roused the rest of the bar, many tried to escape, and he killed most of them before they made it from the tables. The few that got out he let his uncle and the others take care of. He had no heart to chase them out of the inn.

When he was done he had killed twenty people, in the background he heard a baby crying and a mother trying to keep her quiet. He looked underneath a table to find them hiding underneath a table. He grimaced before grabbing a table cloth and throwing it over the table in attempt to hide them; their deaths would not be on his hands.

Now that he was done with his work he walked up the stairs and into the hallway, when the fighting began nobody would get out of the room without dealing with him first. He set his teeth trying not to remember how many people he had just murdered.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Kay's jaw dropped open. "A jedi? I didn't...I mean...I just work with him!" She tried to explain once more. Somehow, though, she didn't think that they would listen. Which was strange, because she had always thought that the bad opinion that Cale and his friends held about the justice system and government was exaggerated.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship
"Ditto," Piper answered Raven with a smile as Cale began to pick up speed, purposefully keeping her response short because she guessed what would be coming. She braced herself and held on as tight as she could as the speeder began to zip through the street, turning around to see Stretch battling it out with one of the the drivers behind them. She suddenly felt the speeder swerved, and turned back to see the pole that had been shot in the middle of the road, and Stretch out of the speeder and behind it. They'd been lucky to miss the pole, she thought, and Stretch would meet them later so she wasn't very worried.

As long as they could gain some ground on the remaining speeders, she thought, they could all get out of this not much the worse for wear.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Stretch fired a barrage of blaster bolts towards the two remaining speeders, hitting the first one's dash board and causing it to be uncontrollable. Sending it strait towards the fallen pole and Stretch.

Stretch being mobile was able to role out of the way but the pole had no legs therefore the speed smashed into it at full speed, in the ensuing fire ball the other speed caught fire and took off spinning through the streets and careening into the fountain.

As we all know the fountain is indestructible so it was unharmed and the speeder was reduced to a pile of rubble. Before the smoke cleared Stretch was already up and running towards Cale's apartment.

---

"Yeah yeah, that's what they all say" said said the soldier, deadpan. As if he had said it hundreds of times, which he likely had. Right then his intercom beeped, he picked it up "Make me happy" there was silence "Um... We lost them"

"DARNIT SOLDIER!" he yelled then hung up.

---

Cale pulled into an alley way along side a warehouse, jumped out of the speeder and looked around "get into the warehouse, I'm going to pull the speeder around the block so they won't be able to find us easily.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship
Piper hopped off first, and rushed to open the door so everyone else could get inside. She noticed another newcomer, who she'd remembered seeing at the Cup and Platter. She thought little of it now though, figuring she wouldn't be here if she were against them anyway. After everyone was inside and the door was shut she decided to stay near the door and wait for Stretch, who should've been arriving soon by her calculations.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Raven entered the warehouse, and surveyed the group that had entered with her. "Is this a bad time to ask what's going on? I mean, I'm curious, but I can wait. If I have to."

She looked for Kay before remembering the soldier shouting something about her being under arrest. She hoped the cook was all right; her breakfast had been terrific, and she seemed far too nice to be caught up in a mess like this.

Vayond: The Shadowed Hunters

Dalin looked to see if both Rokard and Jaegar were ready. When he saw them both, tense with their weapons drawn and strung he slid forward in the shadows, knowing they were following silently. He kept Akar hidden into the moment when blood would be spilled. They crossed the street unnoticed, and walked along the side of the wood slatted building. Their cloaks fluttered in the wind, and Dalin looked up seeing the lighted window on the second story. "That's their room...." he breathed, a growl building in the back of his throat, knowing this time they would not escape them. Gazing at the vined terrace, he smiled and chuckled "We'll climb the terrace boys....but watch a trap at the top.....the hunters will give us support when they run in terror" he said cruelly and fit his foot into the vines going smoothly up the terrace and toward the window above. He was completely silent, and Akar shone brighter knowing soon it would be doing it's purpose....

A (Slightly) Less Normal Life

Beatrice Ares, better known as Bea the Vampire Slayer, hurried through the streets of Ditto Town. She had been busy the last few nights, but she finally had a lead on the items she had been sent across the multiverse to find. Upon reflection, she ruefully admitted to herself that The Realms should have been her first stop, being a bookstore, but hadn't looked like the kind of place that engaged in transdimensional occult memorabilia smuggling.

Bea opened the front door of The Realms and gazed around cautiously. There was a borderline psychotic-looking teenage girl screaming and brandishing a magnifying glass at a tallish guy. There was a couple of guys skulking around in another corner. Aside from them, there was only one other person in the room, a woman who stood at the store's checkout counter. Bea resisted the urge to feel for her weaponry and approached the counter.

"Hi" she exclaimed in her best dumb blonde voice. "I'm looking for a book! Can you help me?"

Sylvia resisted the urge to transform the new arrival into something small and furry and settled for a roll of the eyes.

"This is a bookstore. They tend to have books in them."

Bea forced herself to smile pleasantly in the face of withering sarcasm and continued," But this is a special book!" She leaned in close and said in a breathy whisper," It's a series of magic books."

"I'm really going to need more than that. Do these magic books have titles?"

"They're called the Books of Ascension," Bea said, continuing her stage whisper. "They tell you how to make yourself ... special."

Sylvia's normally petulant expression was replaced by a mildly worried one. Two people in one day after those same books? This couldn't be good.

"What are you looking for them for?"

"A friend of mine sent me to find them. His copies were stolen. Rumor has it the thief passed through this little dimensional nexus."

"A friend? Would that friend be Rupert Giles, by any chance?"

Bea was startled enough that her surprise showed on her face. Sylvia smiled smugly at this confirmation of her theories.

"You're a Slayer, aren't you? Young, female, obviously athletic. Dressed in very practical, battle-ready clothing. Carrying at least three wooden stakes in various concealed pockets. Not so unusual for this town, but unusual enough for me to put the pieces together," Sylvia said, laying out her theory. Her expression only grew more smug as Bea shifted uncomfortably.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Kay stared at her cuffs in silence, wondering how in the world she could have gotten to this. Would the courts truly condemn her to....whatever? Or would they find her to be what she truly was: innocent?

"Where are we going?" Kay spoke up again.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Stretch unlocked Cale's apartment door, expecting the worse. What he saw was close enough, Stretch was a clean freak and Cale's room was horribly messy. He almost threw up.

"CALE! Do you ever clean your room?" he said before looking around "I'll get Scrappy and get the heck out of here" he whispered before yelling "Scrap! I've come to rescue you from this pig pen!"

The ancient droid rolled around a corner, "Finally, I can't stand the smell" he beeped jokingly. Cale nodded "I can only imagine" with a wink "Come on, Cale's started a freaking revolution and he wants you to be part of it"

---

Cale walked into the warehouse, the place had clearly been made for a situation like this. Well not really; it had been his and Stretcher's hangout during their teen years.

So it had been out fitted with a whole bunch of couches and stuff. Cale sat before saying "Alright everybody; We need to talk, figure out were we want to go from here, How to go about it and so on"

---

"To monsteropolis, the headquarters of the MESS and the council" he said, "Right now to the port to catch a airspeeder so we may get there faster" Fred the MESS officer said in responce to her question.

Return of the Fountain Fellowship
"Well..." began Piper. Suddenly Stretch came through the door, causing her to quickly take a few steps back before she regained her balance. She just stood there while he ranted, crossing her arms impatiently, but trying hard not to laugh. Cale's room really was a mess, but being pretty unorganized and messy herself she didn't mind it too much. Stretch could've gone on like like he was for days, but suddenly he was cut short by Cale's entrance. Piper then decided to take a seat on the couch next to Raven when Cale started to talk.

"Wait a second," Piper responded after he was done. "Raven needs to know what's going on before we make any big decisions." she said, pointing towards Raven.
