[Closed] Poisoned Utopia| Time: Evening| Weather: Cloudy

[Ayara012]

I glanced over as the boy shoved the yoyo back into his pocket and leaped up on top of another building. He pointed Northwest, and began racing along the brick wall.
Try to catch up!
"Try to catch up"? Really? It seems he thinks I can't keep up with him, just because I'm younger...Well, no point waiting about. It would be easier to avoid the Ground stalkers if I just flew. It took me only an instant, due to practice, and then I jumped, flying just over the buildings with dragon wings, the Ground stalkers following close behind. Fast little nuisances. I quickly pulled up even with the boy.
Ayara! You close behind?
Of course I am. Do not assume that I cannot keep up with you. Out of curiosity, what type of light source is this?

I was day dreaming in class again........
 The teachers in the school don't care if you pay attention or not, because at the end of the day they still get paid. After snapping out of my semi-hypnosis due to the bell ringing I quickly check the clock.
It's twelve o'clock.
I see a couple of my peers stare at me and then some heads turn away. Life is so dull... and predictable. I like it that way. Staying silent for me means that nobody bothers you. I will admit, I dislike being bothered. That's probably a reason why I left home. I don't even remember if I had a reason to leave my former home to be honest.
I finally stand up and start to pick up my book bag.
 It was a typical book bag with two straps that go on your shoulders. I silently start to walk out of the room, and then suddenly heads turn around again. I decided to not even bother to look back, and I walked out of the classroom. Suddenly the classroom teacher calls out my name,
"Grandohn," he starts to say, "come back inside. I have an announcement."
Something is wrong. I can tell that he's scared about something, yet he's trying to keep calm. I get back inside of the classroom.
"Close the door and take a seat please," he says.
 I oblige and do as told. I'm a little suspicious about what's going on though. I'm sure everyone is too, as I hear low whispers throughout the room.
"Settled down everyone. Settle down." I only bother to listen to his voice. I'm fixated on the clock. The whispers start to die down, and the teacher begins to speak again,
"Utopia has been attacked during the school day. The community seized this opportunity to defeat the Insectoroths without causing panic. It is advised to stay within groups.
 He lets the new information sink in for a moment, and then he begins to speak once more, "oh, and don't forget to carry around something that is made up of lead. That is all.
 The kids in my classroom begin to speak again. I do not have any friends to talk to about this, so I just leave  the classroom without a word, right after the announcement. I wonder how Insectoroths made it into Utopia, but I do not really care enough to satisfy my deep crave for knowledge.

It's time to home now, I guess.

Shock almost tripped when he saw her. FLYING!? He had never seen a flying person before. Sure, he's seen a fish like chosen, but a FLYING one!?
" Oh... Uh... they're flares. Kinda like Dynamite, but brighter. Better than my glowsticks.." Shock shook his head, and smiled. " Less explosive, though....." He walked into a building in better conditions that the others, with a curtain and a board of wood for the door. " Here. if I'm right, the flares are under my hammock." Shock pushed the board down, and moved the curtain. " Urk. These better work..."  He grabbed the box of flares, and tossed one to the chosen outside the house. " It's pretty easy to light. Just strike it against something dry. It get's hot though. And try not to drop it, or- well, you know what'll happen!"

[Ayara012]

I smirked as i saw the boy almost stumble in surprise. i have to admit, it is enjoyable to observe peoples reactions when they see me flying with my transform wings.
I know what flares are. You do not have to explain to me.
I landed before the doorway as the boy walked in. A few seconds later, he tossed a flare out to me. I caught it, giving it a quick examination. It seemed old, but there didn't appear to be anything that would prevent it from working. How in the world had he gotten his hands on a bow full of flares like these...? I glanced up. The Ground stalkers would be upon us in a few seconds.
Bring that box and get out here. They're almost here.
I stepped back so that i could reach the nearby stone wall-that should be sufficient for lighting it. Now, to wait-it would be most effective to light this once they were closer, so that it would almost completely blind and disorient them.

@Bing
The Leader of Utopia picks up a radio, and decides to contact his weapon on the failed mission. He has been enjoying a relaxing morning so far, only to learn that the recon mission was interrupted by a collapsing building, and a child.

Agent Frost, respond now! You have a lot to answer for. How can you let a child get the better of you? Do you know how much money we invested in your care, not to mention your training? You mother says to go easy on you, but to hell with that, you're a paladin for god's sake, you should have been able to handle that! One simple mission!

Fuming, he waits for a response from his now in hot water ice user.
(Alright guys, have fun. After response posts, I will start the first event.)

"Sir, this is Cyrus.  Reporting in.  We have managed to protect the civilia-"

"I don't care about the civilians.  Your performance was unacceptable.  Letting that child escape.  We could have used him, as you can plainly see, our research isn't finished yet.  Now listen to me.  Do not fail another mission, or I may be forced to take drastic measures!"

I heard the radio click off.  Slumping down more, I sighed.  Today wasn't going well at all.

Standing up I decided to go get something to eat.  Leaving he stadium, I headed home.

In a far off lab hidden deep within Utopia, the leader of the perfect world turned to his deranged scientist.

"Why, the hell, isn't, he, working!  You told me that with his latest injection, he would lose his personality and become a shell that only does what he is told!"

"Heh, heh, heh, hahahahaha!  Ahahahahaha!  It's already working.  I never said he's become a shell.  I told you he'd become the perfect solider.  Also to truly lose yourself, you must have something you care for ripped away.  That last injection was to make him start caring.  Then I plan to rip away everything he loves."

"It better work."

"Oh, it will.  It will.  AHhahahahahaHAAhhAHAHAHAHAhAHAHAha"

As the leader left the lab he could only hear laughter echoing throughout the hall.

[lubbies]

I look at the sky and wonder how limitless it is and how free it is. I wish I could be free, but alas I'm stuck here taking orders from big ugly men in expensive suits but I get along.

?- " have you located the object?"

I snap out of my day dreams, I press my ear.

Me- " not yet sir."

I scan the area, and see nothing, I relax and think about being free again. I notice something move and I zoom in, I see a man carrying a box. Again I press my ear.

Me- " sir a man is moving, it looks like he is holding the object should I interfere?"

Boss- " Yes make sure he doesn't get away or it's your life on the line. "

I let go of my ear and I jump down to the streets. I follow the man at a safe distance, making sure he doesn't notice me. I decide that when he enters the alley that's when I'll move.
He makes a sharp turn into a space in between buildings.

Me- " perfect"

I follow, him and when I enter he turns around gun pointed at me.

Man- " dont think that I didn't notice you cant you see this is a trap? "

Behind me another man blocks the exit.

Me- " weird, I was about to say the exact same thing "

The man shoots and I jump the bullet misses me and hits the man behind me he falls down dead. I land and start walking towards him he fires more bullets they penetrate my skin but not my armor, I walk closer the man screams.

Axyl arrives with the small boy at her Blacksmith shop,  looking arround she sighs and gets the door off the ground.

"sigh... this is a mess...you can look for your teddy bear, while i get this up again..."

She gets the door up and starts putting it in its place

"oh and do be carefull with weapons... they can hurt you..."

[Hank]

I walk past streets of silver quietly. I mind my own business for a while, and then I slowly look around.
 It seems that the damage dealt was fairly decent. I can see construction going on. I wonder if it is due to the Insectoroth. I turn my head around, and I keep walking.

 I eventually walk far enough to make it home. I own a rented apartment. My family sends me money every week by mail, they really want me back, but I don't care about them. Money is not going to make me go back to them.

 I walk up to the door of my apartment and I slowly put my ID in the ID-slot.

"ACCESS GRANTED," says the machine.

 I push the door open and I walk slowly to my apartment door, since it is literally about two or three meters away from the door. I take the same ID from before and I put it in the ID slot. The door opens by itself and I walk in.

"Tomorrow is my birthday," I say to myself as the door closes. "I'm gonna skip school and sleep all day," I say while yawning. I throw my book bag and uniform onto the ground and I make it into my room. The room is pretty much empty space, since the only thing I have in it is a bunch of alphabetically ordered books and a bed. Books are the only entertainment that I have, and they are where I put my occasional drug stash in.
 I take off the bed's cover and I lay with a blanket over me.

 Life is great when nobody is bothering you.

[lubbies]

I go to the paladins up in utopia. And give them the box.

Me- " Anything else? "

The paladin looks quite smug.

Paladin- " that's all robot."

I walk out of the room and a paladin escorts me out of utopia.

Me- " Thank god thats it. "

I leave utopia and Im thankful too but soon enough they'll come back and I'm off. Maybe I should run, escape from all this. But I'd be wanted and I have nowhere to hide. I decide to walk the streets of the underlands observing life down here. Oh how great it must be to live without orders. While I talk something jumps in front of me, something big ugly and not human. It had an armoured neck and big appendages I hear one person scream a word that I do not know.

Person- " ZIGAREX! "

What is a zigarex well I wouldn't know I usually stay in utopia but if people are so scared of it I might as well take it out. I pick up a pole on the floor it's rusted but it will do. The creature lunges at me at hits me about 4 metres back. I drop the pole.

Me- " stuff this everybody for themselves."

I turn around and start running but the monster gains on me. I think, what if I trap it that could work. I run up a wall and jump up onto the opposite building. Better Idea, jump on its head. I jump down miss its head and I hit its leg. The monster squeals, I take the pole on the ground and stab it in the other leg. It falls slowly bleeding. I walk away. All the while being watched by bandits and thugs.

Me- " utopia ain't so bad after all."

[WhatThePumpkin]

He flushed with embarassment. Of course, she knew what flares were. But whatever. He gripped two flares in either hand, and leaped out of his house, trying to land in a cool pose, but ended up hobbling out, looking really stupid. He saw Ayara flash him an annoyed glare. He could hear the ground stalkers through the ground. they were very fast... Almost as if they were... Shock jumped up, and made a dash for cover behind Ayara. The ground stalkers burrowed out of the ground, faster than anything had even seen. Faster than... He shook his head. Their gruesome faces stared up at them with dark, almost unblinking eyes. Shock looked at Ayara. " So, should I get this 'Party' started?" He regained his grip on the flares. Now that he thought about it, they were pretty old looking.,.. He'd have to request some new ones....

[Ayara012]

I watched as the boy failed his attempt to strike a pose. I had almost expected that at this point.
I then almost smiled as he ducked behind me for cover. Now THAT was new.
That was mildly amusing...And somewhat surprising. Most adults cannot meet my eyes, and treat me as a child. It's new to find someone ducking for cover behind me.
My smile dissapeared as the groundstalkers erupted out of the ground before us. The boy looked at me, asking:
So, should I get this "Party" started?
I nodded, preparing to strike my own flare.
Aim for the left. I'll throw mine to the right. Once they're disoriented, attack them via the head. Most effective and efficient.

[WhatThePumpkin]

"That was mildly amusing...And somewhat surprising. Most adults cannot meet my eyes, and treat me as a child. It's new to find someone ducking for cover behind me. "
" Think of It as : Hey, I don.t want my head friggen' eaten off, so I'm gonna go hide behind the tough girl."
He smiled sincerely at her though. She looked pretty smiling. But, she turned to face the problem . "Aim for the left. I'll throw mine to the right. Once they're disoriented, attack them via the head. Most effective and efficient." The moment she gave him the go ahead, he banged his flare into the wall next to the female Chosen, and watched as it ignited, and winced a bit at the sudden flash of light. Someone had once told him there was Magnesium in it, to make it so bright. Whatever magnesium was. Those who lived under Utopia weren't very used to bright lights, so he guessed he never really needed to know what magnesium was anyway. When he thought about it, the underland dwellers were a bit like Groundstalkers, in a way. Pfft, we're not crazy monsters.... Tossing the philosophical thought aside, he chucked the now-bright flare at the almost-blind creatures. They had been in agony the moment the flares were lighted, but the light projectile completely disoriented them. Not only could they not see, but it was also painful to the skin, which wasn't accustomed to random flashes of light at all.
He could hear them shrieking. Ayara mist of have thrown the other flare.
Shock took this moment to climb up onto his roof, and go around them, drawing out his yo-yo. " Alright, Ayara! Let's take 'em out!"
And maybe get some food..., he thought to himself. He pressed a button, and sharpened spikes popped out of the top of each yo-yo half. Then, after a jump and flick of the wrist, he began the assault.

[Ayara012]

Think of it as: Hey, I don't want my head friggen' eaten off, so I'm gonna go hide behind the tough girl.
I raised an eyebrow at this, still half smiling. I glanced down as the boy ignited his flare, watching as it lit. Idiot. There's magnesium in flares, a type of metal that burns extremely brightly when heated up. I flicked my hand over, glancing away as the flare came to life. I watched the ground stalkers for only a moment before throwing the flare-ironically-at almost the same moment as the boy. The groundstalkers were screaming and thrashing at this point, completely disoriented. The boy ran across a house to the other side, pulling out that cursed yoyo of his. I watched out of the corner of my eye as spikes popped out of it's sides. So that was it's trick...
I sheathed my sword and slid my bow off my shoulder, drawing an arrow- These monsters have large eyes, easy targets. I drew and released, taking one out with my first shot. I sighted the next as I began to nock my next arrow...

[Desbear]

Solomon wakes up as rain starts hitting his face.Ugh, I feel like the crap was beaten out of me..

Solomon looks at the imprints of where his body was slammed in the wall.Oh... I was.Now where is Leeta? She is Either back to normal or i need to go knock her out, either way I need to find her.

Solomon see's a building that's half wrecked, and figures She's in there.Solomon grabs a crowbar and doesn't even change the form and runs in.Leeta! you in here?!

Ugh... yes, don't yell please, my head is killing me...

Solomon comes in the room he heard her say that from.Yeah, I don't feel sorry for yelling, I  was afraid you had broken my leg..

Oh.. yeah sorry...

Solomon looks at Leeta confused.So, any idea why you went all rage and tried to kill me?

Leeta facepalms.I was a idiot and attacked a psycho from up close, psycho venom makes people go psycho and try to kill everyone.

Oh.

Solomon and Leeta walk out of the building into the rain.

[Mr. Fox]

I could hear foot steps approaching my current position, my gig was up. As I focused on bending the light waves I gave off I could hear their shouts.

"Its over here! Can't be much further!"

Three people armed with guns and knives ran into the ally I had made home. They found my home, one of them held their hand close to it, checking for warmth. He stood up and looked around. He pointed towards various obvious hiding spots and told the others to find me. One of them passed right by me while heading towards where he was told to look. As he passed he did a double take, he felt my warmth. He looked right at me, I held my breath, I didn't want to kill them, I wasn't like the other Monsters. Then he forced my hand, he shoved the barrel of his gun in my face and was about to fire when I melted his face off with Napalm...
