"I'm 20, sir." Malcolm rubbed the back of his head. He knew he looked young, but he was hardly a kid. Although maybe an immortal would have a broader understanding of the term. Everybody looks young when you're ancient. "As usual, Arthur, you are a moron. If we spook them, they'll call for the male and then we've got three of them screaming at us," Huntsman scoffed. "As for your plan, Ashlea, where are we going to get anything the right-" Becky fell from the nearest tree, squirrel tight in her grip. "Caught." She held it up to Ashlea. "...whatever." Huntsman threw up his hands, turning away. "If things get bad, I want you humans behind me. There's not a poison in the world that can take me down."

Ashlea jumped back slightly in surprise when Becky descended from the tree. “Bwah! Don’t just pop out of nowhere like that! Ugh, ok, just hold it still while I transform it…” Walking closer to Becky, Ashlea held out her hand and put her right index finger on top of the squirrel’s head. Suddenly, the squirrel glowed a bright white for half a second, before turning into a foot-long white snake with red eyes, and a crest on the back of its neck that looked like a small crown.
“There, I made it into a basilisk without the poison and instant-death eyes. Toss it at them to get their attention, and you all can swoop in to get the eggs.” Ashlea instructed. Becky nodded and leaned around the tree, chucking the snake underhanded into the clearing. The cockatrices both perked up when the landing snake caught their eye, toothy beaks opening. Unable to move without legs, the false serpent thrashed wildly, and the cockatrice closer to the group pounced. Becky moved in an instant, tendrils of hair reaching around the tree to snatch up bushels of eggs. “Got.” She produced a wicker basket from nowhere, gently placing the eggs inside. She startled when a low crowing came from behind. She peeked around the tree to see that the cockatrice who remained at her nest had raised her head high, screaming her fear to the sky.
He came barreling, nearly as tall as anybody in the group. His crest was a fiery red, flared up in a fleshy crown. His tail, patterned like a diamondback, flicked at the end. Wings feathered like a bird but clawed like a bat spread out in a display, making him look even bigger. “Good plan.” Huntsman snarled, pushing Becky behind. Ashlea glared back at him. “You were supposed to grab it faster!” She yelled at them, looking around the area. “Hey, stay behind them for a bit, ok?” She tells Malcolm, before jogging back a few feet and diving to grab something off the ground.

"well would you look at that, that's why amateurs shouldn't do the hunting"
Mai said, making fun of the failed attempt done by the others, it was such an overly complicated plan it was definitely bound to fail.
Ann rolled her eyes...well, her eye. she initiated her virtual machine as the target was already in sight.
"I'll be taking them while they are distracted, you help them out, as it would seem stealth is not their forte"
-Opening points depleted: Metal gear solid pack activated-
Ann's military suit was replaced by a tactical skintight suit that covered even her face, she proceeded to activate the electronics, and with that, she disappeared into thin air.
"Good to see the stealth suit bends light properly, even I am afraid of my genius sometimes...hell, I can't even see you right now...Ann?"
The virtual warrior had already headed towards the cockatrice nest, the stealth suit refracted light making her seem barely like a heatwave, the suit was packed with noise dampeners and was impervious to thermal imaging, it truly was a marvelous tech piece, she couldn't attack while in stealth mode, but for this mission that really didn't matter.
Unlike Becky, Ann wouldn't risk going for the whole nest, all she needed was one or two eggs, she gently reached for them and bolted back as soon as she managed to get them.
meanwhile, Mai walked to the front, she was ready to play her part.
"Alright, you guys had your chance, we'll take it from here thank you."
she told Huntsman as she readied her stance waiting for the monster to make the first move

That really was a dumb idea, anyone that steal eggs knows that you have to make the mother and father leave the nest before making a movement - Derek said as he yawned, he didn't follow Ashlea's plan - and for your information, Cherry girl. That's why I denied to work with Ice cream, you know?
Now, now... It's not time to fight - The angel tried to calm down everyone. He went near the Mushashi that carried the eggs, he didn't touch them but observed them. His eyes shinning in a saturated blue, his expression turned of one of worry as he looked at Ann - I'm sorry... one of these eggs is already fertilized and has a fledgling inside it, it'll take a wee-
REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE EGGS, GALLERIAN!
The yell made the man startle but was careful enough to don't touch them as well, he did his best to don't scare the other girl as well. He wasn't going to do anything to these eggs! M-Maybe accelerate their process... just to see them hatch and see adorable babies running around with their mommy. There was nothing wrong about it!
Gal, you were trying to hatch the egg right? Respect the enviroment of this place, they are letting us get those damn eggs so we can keep the balance here - The prince scolded the angel, of course, that was an habit for them, to scold each other. But of course, Derek didn't notice that others may find a bit "disrespectful" to talk in such manners to an angel. Derek sighed as he grabbed a rock... he remembered doing these things with Michael and Thomas so it wasn't that different from hens to cockatrices, right?
Anyone that can jump or teleport here? I'm one but anyway - He said as he raised his voice - The plan is simple, scare the mother with rocks, keep doing that while you run after her, the father will go after us and then other can take the eggs easily. The ones running teleport to a safe zone, both mother and father will return to the nest but we'll have enough time to take more than two or three eggs, what about it?
What if... we just lock the father and mother in a barrier? - Gallerian offered, he didn't knew if most of them could cast spells like that but it was the safest idea by the moment - The shield will prevent anyone from getting poisoned, well... the vulnerable ones - He chuckled, since those things didn't affect him - and prevent the cockatrices from bothering us.

"No, I've got three of them screaming at me, you guys are safe, and I guarantee they can't get me. And we don't have to use another animal as bait, which I would say constitutes harming it." Of course, no one listened to Arthur and they turned a squirrel into a basilisk. It worked for a bit, making one of the cockatrices jump out and letting Becky collect the eggs. The other cockatrice didn't budge though, seeing as they only provided food for one, and it let out a loud shriek. One didn't need to be a genius to figure out what was about to happen next.
The male cockatrice Becky said they should avoid showed up. It was bigger than Arthur expected. Unfortunately, most of the other people decided that facing a giant chicken meant a great opportunity to take more eggs. But how to deal with it without hurting it? Arthur had an idea.
He created a wall of ice in front of the oversized chicken so polished it could act as a mirror. Arthur hoped that an angry male wouldn't have the brain capacity to realize the male cockatrice standing in front of him was just a reflection. If it started fighting itself, that should buy the team at least some more time.
"If he hurts himself charging at the mirror-slash-wall, would I be held accountable?"

"Wait, Ashlea!" Malcolm grabbed her arm before she went diving. "Resistance to poison!" He called, making complex gesture and tapping her forehead. Glowing white bubbles scattered off her body, floating aimlessly away. "It won't keep you 100% safe, but it's better than nothing." He stepped back and let her dive, shuddering even if he trusted her judgement.
Arthur's ice mirror sprang up in front of the cockatrice and he stopped short. His crest raised, his tail flicked, his wings spread. His scream was twice as raucous as before, ear-piercing to all around him. He postured and threatened for his mirror image, making Huntsman sigh. "Well it's dull, but it worked. Although we already had enough eggs, Ann. I suppose there's no problem with a few more." He looked right at the invisible woman as he took the eggs, Becky giving a glance in her general direction.
Huntsman knelt to open the basket again, rummaging with the eggs they already had. "Really, which one has that little spark of life? Is it this one? Oh, this one?" Huntsman held them up to the light of the temple on the highest mountain until he found the one the angel spoke of. "Isn't that something. Well, can't cook that for the humans." His jaws expanded and wrapped around the egg. It made a bulge in his throat as it was pushed down. "Thanks for pointing it out." He grinned, an expression that vanished when the mirror was smashed.
The cockatrice furiously kicked at what was left of the ice, slashing it apart with a scythe-like spur of bone on its calf. When it was satisfied with its ice cubes, it looked up at the remaining aggressors. Mai, closest and most threatening, was targeted first. After spreading his wings and raising his crest in warning, he jumped forward and kicked, 12-inch spurs aiming to cut her to ribbons.

Ann came out of her camo looking at Huntsman unimpressed and slightly bugged out from the fact he ate that egg without permission.
"huh? Who told you humans cannot eat that? I would have made some awesome balut for everyone"
The virtual warrior felt frustration piling up, this guy was also the type to do whatever he wanted.
Ann immediately went for one of the eggs in the basket and teleported it out, she had a solid plan as to what she wanted to make with that egg and it did not involve huntsman eating it as well.
Meanwhile, the cockatrice found Mai to be its next target, Musashi materialized her armor as the Spurs made sparks the moment they came in contact with the titanium alloy. Mai knew those things weren't gonna get through her advanced plating but she still held the oversized chicken by the neck, pissed at it for even trying.
"This stupid fuck tried to claw me, can you believe this?!"
Mai let go of the neck of the creature as she stepped back, positioning herself behind the rest in an attempt to make them the targets instead of her

Gallerian shouted in the moment Huntsman ate the poor egg - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!?! - The angel tried his best to stop him but it was already too late. Now the other Mushashi girl was treatening the poor parent! The angel moved forward as he concentrated his magic, the grass growing where he was standing with a pure green impregnating everything with that particular and fresh smell of dew. The angel's magic turned into a gentle wind that pushed the creature to its nest, he didn't want to order the creature, neither use "brute force" on it. So he hoped the creature went more interested in the few eggs that remained there, they had barely four or six days until they hatch - Now... please don't be so rude with them! They are angry for losing their children and being tratened by unknown people! - The angel began scolding the group as his powers went slightly out of control, making flowers blooom in the nearest trees, calm breeze run between them, ground and living beings.
Oh.... ok, deal with the angry angel while I catch some eggs - The boy put on his goggles as he spoted another nest, at the moment the Café team didn't catch any eggs so better hurry until they had to leave. As he went closer the boy threw some rocks, these cockatrices weren't different from the others they first encountered and aimed directly at him with a cautious speed - C'mon... get closer... - The prince moved the branches to caught their attention. In the moment the male cockatrice jumped to catch him the boy inmediatly teleported to the nest, he tried to carry three eggs at the time almost making them fall - Oh crap! CRAP! - He yell when he noticed the mother few meters from him, teleporting again he ran to the group - CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
The angel moved in instinct to catch one of the three eggs that if it wasn't by him it was going to crash with the ground. Hugging it the angel let the air escape from his lungs, relieved as he went closer to his master - Are you alright?
I've told you not to touch the eggs!! - He inmediatly left the others in the ground as he grabbed the third one - Thankfully you didn't hatch it, so I guess were are alright
Can I have that one as a pet? Is going to hatch in a few hours! - The taller man asked as he played with his fingers
FUCKING NO! - The boy yelled as he noticed the two cockatrice that were after him - Fuck...

Ashlea was surprised when Malcolm pulled her back, looking back at him in confusion. "Huh...? Poison? Oh, thank you!" Ashlea called back, still not sure why he grated her this enhancement. She clamped her hand around the tiny lizard and turned toward the group, frowning at Derek's earlier comments toward her, then rolling her eyes at his ineptitude at getting eggs himself. "Great plan, you sure showed me." She sarcastically stated. "Ok everyone, stand back!" Pulling her arm back, Ashlea waited until the last second to transform the tiny lizard into a massive worm-like creature with thick dark green plated scales running along its side, almost making it look like a snake. She aimed for it to fall between the group and the cockatrice with a loud crash.
"There, it's blocking the path! Let's go, both of them will be fine!" She shouted, knowing that the Emerald Tunneling Worm had thick enough plating to withstand the cockatrice's attacks. They were primarily herbivores, but evolved thick plated armor to avoid being grabbed by large avian HW animals. "I only put enough mana in there to keep it like that for about a minute, so let's go!" Ashlea stated as she grabbed Malcolm by the wrist and began to lead him further into the forest, knowing the trees would be difficult for the cockatrice to follow them through. While they walked, Ashlea began to whisper to him. "Uuuugh...great idea, this trip." She sarcastically whispered to him. Perhaps that angel and its calming songs could be an effective way to deal with this no-hurting restriction.

"If you'd prefer a fun death to a dull survival, you're free to jump into its mouth." Arthur was just glad his plan worked. He was less glad when the cockatrice turned his ice wall into cubes fit for a cocktail. The same creature then struggled with that Musashi's armor which made Arthur a little jealous. It also made him annoyed that Mai, after that display of durability and after grabbing the creature by its neck, decided to use the rest as a barrier between her and the beast.
"Alright guys, if you have enough eggs, I think the best course of action would be... Running!" He had more confidence in his "plan" when Ashlea made a worm with a thick hide. That should distract the cockatrice long enough for them to be long gone. It should be noted that even after suggesting the ever-useful strategy of running away, the ice mage decided to run behind the others so he could protect the rear.

"A pet? It's a wild animal, featherhead." Huntsman snarled at Gallerian. "Italian Rat-Cocatrice. Pet cockatrice. Small, reduced aggression, no poison." Becky suggested. "Provides eggs, hunts pests. Good pet." She leaned around Gallerian to look at the aggressive male. "Right, you were begging Eve to let you keep one last- DON'T GRAB ITS NECK YOU FUCKING-" Huntsman's warning was too late. As Mai grabbed the cockatrice's neck, it coughed out a yellow-green cloud of smoke that swiftly spread.
Becky dropped to the ground. "Poison rises!" She yelled. Huntsman didn't bother avoiding the cloud, just growing a skin membrane over his mouth. "You're really doing great, guys. Top notch work here." He slowly clapped until Ashlea's guardian worm suddenly appeared, completely blocking off the rooster from the group. "...okay, that was decent." He admitted.
He backed away, running with the others until the sky suddenly went dark. "What is-fucking fuck!" He dove aside as talons longer than a bus flashed down, wrapping around the tunneling worm. The entire massive worm was lifted in an instant as hurricane-force winds blasted down on the group. The poison was blown away like a mere puff of smoke. Huntsman and Becky clung to the ground and Malcolm to Ashlea until they died down and the enormous avian flew up and away, dropping the invulnerable worm in the trees across from there. "...so, we're getting the Roc's egg." Huntsman giggled. The cockatrices had all fled instantly, leaving the group alone. Malcolm slowly slid down Ashlea's body, keeping a tight grip. "Don't let it take meeeeeee!" He wailed.

Mai did not care about what those two thought about it, she had to teach that stupid bird a lesson!, little did she know, things were gonna escalate to much greater proportions!
The Musashi couldn't believe there was a bird of that size, Mai simply stood there as it lifted the worm, with the same carelessness that was so characteristic of her
"Holy fuck that's awesome!" she said looking at it in the distance
Ann wasn't as enthusiastic, she had quite a serious expression as the bird took off, with animals that size, it was no longer about the group not harming them, their lives were also at stake.
"Let's just move on...staying here has drawn enough attention, and looking for the eggs that thing lays is just dumb, what are we gonna do with it anyway? I like being alive thank you"
Mai didn't feel the same way as Ann, she too wanted to get that bird's egg
"Awww come on, think about all the things we could do if we had one of those birds back at home?!"
"We are staying as a group Mai, but the moment they try to go for that thing I'm out"
The Musashi duo moved would stick together, at least for now.

Gallerian inmediatly covered Derek with his wings, he observed as the big creature left the group. The prince looked at the Roc, what the fuck was doing a creature that big in such an island, it was that place so fucking big!?!?! He even started considering that it was fucking better to let Gal have the other creature instead of that oversized bird.
I'll recommend you to not go after it - The taller man said as he got up, cleaning Derek's clothes in the process.
I don't think the boat will support that egg - The other answered as he raised one of his eyebrows, taking the two eggs that didn't have nothing inside Derek went in direction to the boat, with two eggs they'll be fine.
As he noticed his master was returning already, the angel took the remaining egg and held in his arms, hugging it as he cooed. Babies and kids were always his weakness so he couldn't avoid being around them, not to mention his instincts as an angel of creation always commanded him to protect them and help them live.
Gallerian's dark hair turned white as his wings appeared, shinning with it's pure color. His blue eyes shinning as he patted the egg shell until a small crack was heard, small and clumsy movements were inside the egg and then a small cockatrice went out crying for suddenly having more espace to move.
Cherishing it, Gallerian let it on the ground to help it get adapted to the new enviroment. With eyes that showed an enormous compassion and love he looked at the small newborn.
The two cockatrices of before came back, this time they didn't approach them wih anger. They looked quite frightened by the Roc and still, pretty curious by the calm feeling the angel was giving them. Once the baby could stand, it went with it's parents and the three of them dissapeared in the forest.
They have a lovely baby girl now - He chuckled as his hair returned black and he started moving towards the group

A smug smile appeared on Ashlea's face when the worm landed between the group and the cockatrice, slowing down to admire her work. "Haha! See, that plan was great!" She stated proudly, frowning when the sky suddenly became dark and the worm was lifted off the ground, Ashlea putting her left arm in front of her face to block out the wind from her eyes. "Oh, that's just great! Now a roc is here!" Ashlea said in an annoyed tone, looking down at Malcolm as he clung to her. "Erm...don't worry, it flew off. I doubt it can even get through that worm's armor before it turns back into a lizard. So uh...you can get up?" She said, not sure exactly how to be comforting in this scenario.
She watched Gallerian take one of the eggs and...somehow hatch it on his own? "Uh...that is the exact opposite of what we are supposed to do here. You know, population control? If you let too many of them hatch, they are going to either starve because there are too few prey animals left, or they will be noticed more by stuff like that roc and get eaten. Either way; it's a bad idea." She said to Gallerian. Turning her attention to Huntsman, Ashlea let out a small sigh. "Let me guess...you want to go after that roc's eggs, right?" She asked, already knowing the answer.

They never got to run away. They were "saved" by a giant bird before they did. Arthur didn't have to duck much to avoid it and he chuckled at Malcolm's frightened reaction, but he got worried after it stole the distraction Ashlea prepared. Luckily, the cockatrices were frightened off. Well, they came back to get their baby from the angel that was with the group, but they ran away again right after.
"...so, we're getting the Roc's egg," said the madman of the group.
"Really? We just met some venomous chickens and now you want to steal from a giant bird?" Arthur asked. "Yeah, sure, why not. I hope you have a better plan for that though. I don't imagine we can distract it with lizards."

Post by HungryHunter on Sept 20, 2018 23:57:23 GMT
"I don't know, I think that lizard distracted it pretty good." Huntsman grinned into the sky. The roc was circling high, clearly observing the transformed reptile below. Very little detail was visible with the sunlight, just the general shape of an enormous thing shaped like an eagle. "You tell them, Primrose!" Huntsman chuckled when Ashlea chewed out Gallerian. In reality, one or two hatched eggs wasn't a problem. They weren't supposed to clear out all of them, after all. But people he didn't like messing with each other? Priceless.
Huntsman lightly kicked Malcolm's ribs in passing. "Alright twerp, get up. The egg parade's still going! Where's the bandleader!?" A sharp peep came from the bushes behind Derek and out popped Becky, most of her coat's buttons undone to show a fuzzy bare chest behind and whistle in her mouth. "Becky! You're the leader of the Egg Day Parade, get your uniform in order!" Huntsman yelled. "Not comfy." She complained, buttoning up anyway. She looked down at Derek with her odd blank gaze. "Huntsman hates you. Why?" She said, quietly enough Huntsman didn't hear on the other side of the group.
"Sorry, I was... that was horrifying!" Malcolm managed to stand, clinging tightly to Ashlea regardless. "Ugh, shut him up. Give the baby a nipple or change his piss-stained pants or something!" Huntsman snarled at Ashlea, walking away to get between Mai and Ann. "I saw how you handled that cockatrice back there. Stupid, but bold. And bold counts for a lot with me. We're clearly the heavy-hitters here. We should stick together." He had been into the little eyepatch girl, but Mai's personality was definitely doing it for him more. He ignored whatever everybody else was doing as they entered a damper forest, with less scrub and more trees.

Oh, I know sweetheart - The man said with a warm smile, accommodating his bangs a little the angel began to explain to both of them - Helping creatures to live is part of my nature as an angel of creation but I do respect a place's balance as well so I didn't hatch all the eggs in the island... but... I really wanted to take that baby girl with me! She was adorable!! And I'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't get angry for having a new baby to love and spoil - He sulked a bit as he crossed his arms. The angel jumped when Huntsman kicked the poor boy - It hurts? If you want I can heal you... - He said worried.
Back in the bushes, Derek's face only expressed a raised eyebrow, what the hell was going on and why was a weird haired... guy or girl or whatever poping out with weird clothing and a whistle. He took off his goggles and let them rest in his neck. ... What? - The boy put his hands on his hips - Did I do something to that lemon? I think we never talked before, or well I don't remember him from somewhere else... - He didn't get why she suddenly came with that question. Another person that was already hating him? But if he tried his best to have a low profile! Well... you can't avoid being hated if you are a prince, handsome and an intelectual. That's what the blond thought.

"Well, I think I'm allowed to treat them as I please, those things are so far beneath me they can't do anything about it"- Mai replied to huntsman's statement with a grin from ear to ear, she looked at him from head to toe for a moment, shapeshifters were tricky but he did align with her taste in men.
"Sure, let's tag together handsome, it would seem there is some serious lack of personality here. I would like to say the rest are a bunch of weaklings, but my little friend here is one of the strongest people I know"- she said as she hugged Ann with one arm across her shoulder, the virtual warrior just frowned uncomfortably as she heard Mai's statement, she might very well be strong, but she liked passing for a weakling.
"C'mon Mai, you have to cut me some slack, I know I'm your bodyguard and all that but my powers are too destructive for this Island's rules, you are on your own here you hear me?!"- Ann might have been more prone to joining the fun, but she really liked following rules now, the last time she bypassed them she ended up dying twice in a tomb in China, moreover, she was supposed to be watching over Tenjin! If Akane knew she would scold her pretty bad.
Mai simply brushed her comment away, she had better things to do than wasting her time on feeble chit-chat.
"PTFFF, whatever! weren't you listening?, I have a new partner in crime now"-Mai replied as she set her leg around Huntsman and caressed his cheek.
Ann sighed as she shook her head, she wouldn't be able to control those two.

Arthur chuckled at Becky's state of semi-dress. Whatever MoG did to socialize her didn't make her like clothes any more than she did before. Arthur rolled his eyes are Huntsman mocking Malcolm. "Hey, shut up, Huntsman. Aren't you two supposed to be comrades? You don't need to pick on the kid just because he's not used to fieldwork."
He turned towards Malcolm. "You shouldn't let him get away with that, you know. You should probably report him to Eve for workplace harassment. If I remember correctly, she likes you so I'm sure she could tell him to fuck off. Or, you know, you could do it yourself."

Ashlea rolled her eyes in Huntsman's direction when he egged her on. "I don't need your encouragement, you weirdo." She stated, fixing her hair from the brief run they had. She then glared at the shapeshifter when he kicked Malcolm and insulted him. "Hey! I'll have you know that Malcolm is the only white mage here. So I wouldn't insult him, or maybe he will be slow in healing...you..." Ashlea thought about her threat. There seemed to be two issues. Malcolm was far too nice to not heal someone, even the repulsive Huntsman, and a shapeshifter probably didn't need healing in the first place. She let out an annoyed sigh and turned toward Gallerian.
"Angel of creation, huuuuh?" She asked, letting the last syllable trail off as she thought about this. Shouldn't angels be really powerful, able to block most of these creature's attacks outright? Perhaps there was some restriction placed on this one for being among mortals? Her gaze then fell upon Derek. How important was this guy that an angel was serving him?! "I doubt it'd be a good idea to take a baby cockatrice out of here, anyway." She told Gallerian, before shifting her attention to Arthur. Now who was this guy?! He seemed decent though...defending Malcolm. "Trust me; Eve does not care about workplace harassment. Have you SEEN Wild Hunt? She employs a freaking succubus!" Ashlea exclaimed. "But yes...don't listen to him, Malcolm. He's just a loud idiot who don't know what he's doing." Ashlea said, patting him on the shoulders as Malcolm clung to her. She then turned to Arthur, holding out her right hand.
"Oh, I don't believe we've met before. My name is Ashlea Primrose, nice to meet you, mister...?" She asked, waiting for him to accept.
