OOC: I hate to do this in here, but you do know that Hera's parents and sister have been dead for about 2 million years (let alone his ancestors), right Julius? And when are you gonna use your other character?

IC: Hera blasted a hole in the floor, and descended to the fourth floor, disabling the weapons of four soldiers with his sword before knocking them out with his tail blade.

He could feel Silverwing's power, it was growing. But, more than that, it was taking on a Dragonic identity, though it was a hybrid energy with his own, original energy.

What is he doing? thought Hera. Is he trying to fuse with a Dragon or something?

Hera blasted another hole in the floor, and descended to the fifth level: Silverwing's level.

Hera Ledro ran down the halls, stunned that there were no guards on this floor...

Finally, he felt Silverwing's power in a room at the end of the hall, and blasted down the door. Ignoring the scream of someone who was obviously behind the door, Hera bounded into the room, and came face to face with Silverwing. Hera's stomach clenched in revulsion.

Standing there was Silverwing, but different than the Silverwing he knew. Silverwing's whole right side appeared mutated; his arm bulged, showing scales and a three-clawed hand (Hera assumed that he had used a Japanese Long for his experiment), and his left eye changed to yellow, the pupil little more than a slit in the bright light of the room.

"What have you done, Silverwing?" Hera muttered. "You've damned yourself...you won't survive with that body..." Hera remembered the old attempts of a doctor who had tried the very same thing that Silverwing was now doing. "You will be unable to survive, the power will make your body explode, your thirst will become unquenchable..." In a flash, Hera split his blade and shot after Silverwing. "Because I won't let you sate it!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake nodded. "You'll probably be able to see him soon enough, we're kinda seperated now." Sitting on a case of beer (and looking at it in disgust), Jake looked straight at Hudson.

"Well, gramps and I can travel between dimensions, I wouldn't be surprised if you had a history with him. What kind of history, did he do something to you guys?"

"Ah you little know me...if I explode....I'll make sure to take down this planet to hell with me..."

Julius stood from his armchair and turned to face Hera Ledro. The mad doctor thought that the blood he found was from Hera Ledro's ancestors, but he was wrong, something more caused this sudden mutation and the key to this enigma lied within Julius' own blood. As soon as Julius sensed Hera's sword getting closer, the mad doctor used his newly deformed arm and with his claw he grabbed and stopped the sword. Julius smirked as he struggle to keep the blade away from his face. The mad doctor then slightly pushed the sword and backed away from it, dodging Hera Ledro by mere inches.

"Fool, I have no need for dragon's blood to sustain my life, but I need it to gain the power I seek." -Julius closed his eyes and smiled sarcastically, as he then opened his eyes and fixed them on Hera Ledro- "It's just that I find a grim satisfaction on how it feels to feed on your brothers and sisters...."

Julius transformed his mutated right forearm into an arm sword, as hard and strong as the hardest of steels. The blade was three feet long and one foot wide, it resemblances a giant spearhead with dark red edges. The mad doctor aimed his arm sword to Hera Ledro.

"I once though that humans were the future and I was wrong. I am the future. I am the next step of evolution! As for you and the humans, evolution has its dead ends. You shall perish. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Jake's genetic code as soon as I find him...."-In a burst of a demonic laughter, Julius dashed forward and swung his blade in downward arc to Hera Ledro's head.

Ravona looked at the three men laying at her feet. After finding out that there were medicine in the places called hospitals Ravona decided to visit one. Finding one had been easy enough but when people at the reception were unwilling to simply give her the medicine Ravona had decided to simply take them herself.<o:p></o:p>
Something that apparently didn’t go well with the security. Still the three men that had tried to restrain her had simply been slammed into the ground by an invisible force. Ravona turned away and started opening one door after an other while patients and staff were backing off. After a few doors Ravona heard lots of footsteps coming towards her, Ravona looked at the direction and saw more security guards however these seemed to be armed with weapons similar in design to what the girl she met last had carried.<o:p></o:p>
Ravona erected a force field as the guards released a warning shot. Unlike gun Ravona saw yesterday these weren’t enhanced through magic and therefore not even worth a second look. With a single gesture the newly arrived guards were scattered around the corridor.<o:p></o:p>
Opening an other door Ravona found a locked door that didn’t prove to be an obstacle either. After blowing the door away with her mind Ravona stepped inside and guessed she had found what she had been looking for. There were many shelves filled with bottles and packages. In the corner of the room a white coated man was cowering away.<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
As Ravona came closer the man seemed more and more afraid. Ravona grabbed the mans head with hands and forced him to look at her: “What medicine are against fevers?”<o:p></o:p>
The doctors eyes were filled with fear but still he managed to sputter a few words: “Fe-Fever? Anti-bi-bi-otics I-I guess.”<o:p></o:p>
“Antibiotics? Where are those.”<o:p></o:p>
“Over th-there.” The doctor pointed at a certain shelf “3<sup>rd</sup> row second from the right.”<o:p></o:p>
Ravona let the man go and he sank to the ground. Ravona looked down on him and before she walked away she remarked: “You seem to be in dire need of new pants.” After that walked to the medicine, there were dozens of bottles. Ravona didn’t know how much she would need but simply took 4 bottles with her before creating a portal and stepping through.<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
A moment later Ravona found herself back in her sanctuary. Ravona left her room and walked downstairs where she found the older sister placing a wet towel on the younger sisters head. As Ravona came down the older sister quickly turned her head towards Ravona and apparently surprised at her presence.<o:p></o:p>
“Ah it’s you.” The girl turned her head back to her sister. “Thank you for the food. Still I don’t think that alone will be enough to save her.”<o:p></o:p>
Ravona felt the bottles in her pocket but decided to try and find out a little bit more before giving it to her.<o:p></o:p>
“Isn’t there anyone you know who can help her?” Ravona sat down on the last step of the stairs.<o:p></o:p>
“We had… problems.. with our step-father. So we ran away, but if I ask anyone I know my father will immediately find out.”<o:p></o:p>
“How about your mother?”<o:p></o:p>
“Mother won’t don’t anything. She wouldn’t dare to defy him. We’re completely alone.”<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
“Then let me ask you something else. What do you plan to do now? Will you just rot away here?”<o:p></o:p>
The sister didn’t look up. “As long as she lives and becomes happy I don’t care what happens to me.”<o:p></o:p>
Ravona smirked: “How foolish. If that’s what you really think you’re a bigger idiot of a sister then she deserves.”<o:p></o:p>
Seemingly agitated the older sister turned her head and shouted: “What’s that supposed to mean?!”<o:p></o:p>
Ravona’s demeanour didn’t show any emotion: “What I mean is that if you’re dead there will be no happiness for either of you. Your first thoughts should be on how to survive with the two of you. And happiness is not something that will come easily. To become happy you mustn’t wait but grab it with your own hands and keep hold of it.”<o:p></o:p>
The girl was silent for a few moments and then asked: “Are you saying you are happy? Living like this?”<o:p></o:p>
“Hmm. Good question. I definitely not dislike my current live. Compared to before this is heaven. I have no fears, few desires and as long as they don’t try to hurt me I don’t mind anyone coming here.”<o:p></o:p>
“You’re satisfied with living from the scraps of what others eat? Begging for things others take for granted?”<o:p></o:p>
“It seems you are misunderstanding something. I’ve only once begged, and that was for my life. If I want something I simply take it.”<o:p></o:p>
“You mean steal it? But that’s..”<o:p></o:p>
“Bad? Do you really think it’s bad to simply take something you need? Especially if they don’t? With such logic you may just as well think taking the life of animals to eat is bad as well.”<o:p></o:p>
“That…. that’s… different.”<o:p></o:p>
“Really? How about this?” Ravona took out one of the bottles from her pocket and threw it towards the girl who caught it and looked at the label.<o:p></o:p>
“This? How?”<o:p></o:p>
“I took it.” Ravona said “It should help your sister right? Will you use it or shall I bring it back?”<o:p></o:p>
“This… this…” The girl was obviously struggling with the idea of using stolen goods but in this case it was to save her sister. After a few seconds she opened the bottle and took out a pill and gave it to her sister with some water. When she was done Ravona said: “I’m glad we agree. Well I have things do so try to think about how you want to survive for now.”<o:p></o:p>
 <o:p></o:p>
With that Ravona head back upstairs.<o:p></o:p>

Hera Ledro felt something familiar about Julius, as though his change in power was similar to someone he already knew, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Hera sidestepped as his blade missed, and he turned around to face Silverwing.

"Fool, I have no need for dragon's blood to sustain my life, but I need it to gain the power I seek. It's just that I find a grim satisfaction on how it feels to feed on your brothers and sisters...."

Hera Ledro would have laughed, had Silverwing not just insulted the ones he'd long since vowed to protect.

Almost in an undertone, Hera said, "You don't actually think that they are blood related to me, do you? Oh Silverwing, there are so many errors in your theories.

"I once though that humans were the future and I was wrong. I am the future. I am the next step of evolution! As for you and the humans, evolution has its dead ends. You shall perish. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Jake's genetic code as soon as I find him...."

Before Hera could reply, Silverwing let out a horrible, demonic laugh, and lunged for Hera.

Now, Hera was pissed. He'd threatened Jake, and that was not going to happen. Now, Silverwing would know what it was he truly faced.

Hera stepped to the side, parrying Silverwing's blade, and turning around to face him, eyes closed.

"You know, Silverwing," he said, voice shaking with hatred. "You should count yourself lucky: you're one of the few who has actually driven me to take this transformation. Don't flatter yourself either, you're hardly strong enough to really warrant this; you've just pissed me off so much that I'm not going to fool around." Hera's eyes flared open and he tensed his body, becoming a Ledrai Allsie.

"So, why don't I turn this up a notch." Hera held his right arm at his side, dangling but flexed as he began his transformation.

But, in the instant it began, it was over. In a split second, a huge plume of fire-like golden energy rose from around Hera's body, temporarily blocking him from view, and causing dust and stone to float in the air from the sheer power he now held.

When the dust cleared, a different Hera Ledro was standing there.

The colouration of his fur, hair, nails, and tail blade had not changed from that of a Ledrai Allsie, but he was even fiercer than before. A lightning-like aura charged around him, electrical energy that was so great in his nervous system, that it actually sparked around the air in front of him at random intervals.

His hair had lengthened somewhat, and become much sharper and more defined, giving him a fierce look that coincided with his now-sharper, yet much leaner, figure; his muscles lean, but even more powerful than before.

With his Dragon Blade split, held in both hands, and with this transformation, Hera was even fiercer, and much stronger than before. Now, he was thrice the power he was normally, and he would soon show Silverwing what it meant to anger an Allsie.

Hera Ledro's voice, now deeper, though curiously smoother than before, spoke from between the lips so alien to Silverwing. "Let's go."

In what was little more than an instant, Hera Ledro was behind Julius, his tail curled around, sharp end of the blade thrusting for the head of Julius A. Silverwing.

October 28, 2007, 12:54 AM

"Yes, draw more of that power. The stronger you become, the richer your blood will taste...."

With great effort and almost failing to block Hera Ledro's attacks by mere inches, Julius was able to parry Hera's blades with two swift movements of his arm sword. The battle became fiercer as the swords of these men clashed countlessly against each other, and shards of steel flew away. In the midst of battle, while Julius sensed Hera Ledro's right hand sword dangerously getting closer and closer, the mad doctor dodged the attack with much difficulty. It was clear that, even though he gained an amazing physical enhancement, Julius' powers weren't enough to keep an even battle with Hera Ledro and the mad doctor would be easily beaten. The mad doctor, trying to catch a breath, was panting and sweating as he stared to the newly transformed Hera Ledro.

"You...may have gained the upper hand this time....but hear this! You have not seen the last of me....farewell Hera...and watch out....Uncle Julius is coming for little Jake...hahahahaha...catch me if you can."

After bursting in a demonic laughter, Julius used his arm to unleash a beam of energy to the roof, destroying it and leaving a huge hole leading to the surface. Two huge wings sprouted from Julius' back, and the mad doctor flew away through the new exit he recently opened.

October 29, 2007, 12:35 AM

Hera was effortlessly toying with Silverwing, allowing him the chances to escape his blade. Hera's blade flashed through the battle, always moving slow enough to give Julius a chance to dodge it. Now Hera was just being sadistic: that was an effect of the transformation, that the user becomes significantly more cocky, possibly even somewhat arrogant. However, instead of arrogance, Hera would adopt a more...playful attitude in fights.

Finally, Julius seemed to be tiring out. He knew he was no match for Hera on an even battlefield, and Hera could notice Julius panting.

"You...may have gained the upper hand this time....but hear this! You have not seen the last of me....farewell Hera...and watch out....Uncle Julius is coming for little Jake...hahahahaha...catch me if you can."

Hera looked unconcerned as Silverwing blasted a beam of energy through the roof, and took off, unfurling a new pair of Dragon-like wings, though they seemed different, also familiar to Hera, as though they were part of the same creature that gave Silverwing the differing power signature.

Hera crouched and then took off after Silverwing, folding his wings around his body to give him less wind resistance as he flashed through the air. He easily caught up to Silverwing, and flew upside down underneath the monster.

"You know," Hera said softly. "You really shouldn't make threats to people who are more powerful than you. The real kicker is, no matter how powerful I am, and I haven't even begun to show you my real power, Jake is significantly stronger than me." Without warning, Hera unfurled his wings and slashed diagonally, straight for Silverwing's head.

October 30, 2007, 1:52 AM

Hera's attack past closely to Julius' head, leaving a deep scar on his forehead. Julius brought his hands to his forehead and yelled in agony as his face was bathed in his own blood. As he hovered in mid air, Julius' eyes stared from behind his hands to the dragon champion. He began to smirk, then gave faint laughs until he was possessed by a burst of laughter. As he revealed his face to Hera Ledro, something unbelievable happened: Julius' wound healed significantly fast similar to when Hera uses his regenerative abilities. The mad doctor's eyes were closed while he kept laughing, until he suddenly stopped and opened his eyes, the expression of Silverwing's face was of complete disgust towards Hera Ledro. -"You are so arrogant, yet in your mightiness I see a slight ignorance which makes you vulnerable. Your status makes you underestimate your opponents...something you should not do and you will learn now...- Julius's eyes turned bright red, his hair rose and changed to silver and his whole body was engulfed in a fiery aura of shadows and flames.-"The hard way!!!!"-The mad doctor underwent a powerful transformation as fearsome flames enveloped his deformed right arm. -"Soul collector!!!"-He rose his right claw and opened it wide revealing one of the sources of his power: the Divine Dragon orb. This orb allowed him to channel the energies of fallen dragons as use it as nourishment. As Julius summoned forth the souls of all those dragons that were victims of his vile experiments, he absorbed their essences, and his power was boosted significantly. Julius then closed his claw tightly and lowered his right arm as he pointed it to Hera Ledro. His arm then morphed into a wide sword, the voices of Hera's friends could be seen screaming and echoing within the newly created weapon. In mere seconds, Julius dashed towards Hera and aimed his attacks to Hera's left shoulder.

Daros was navigating the dark streets in pursuit on the helicopter, seeing Bush was going there it only made sense to follow, when the helicopter started to overlap buildings it was clear he would have to gain altitude.

"How am I going to get up there? ah, I will just have to go through the front door of a tall building" Daros headed over to a nearby building that stretched high enough to gain height, he walked over to the door but it was locked, quite obvious considering how dark it was outside. "I will have to find another way in, or, I could just bust in, what the hell!" Daros took out his Mageblade and imbuing it with earth he created a small tunnel inside.

The interior wa not too grand, it contained a few shops for gardening and other outside items, he took an elevator at the other end of the hallway he pressed the button for the roof, it seemed odd that security had not stopped him, but no matter, at least he was inside.

From the roof he could see that the helicopter was almost out of eyeshot so he quickly ran and started to jump across the buildings using flips, jumps, climbing and other skills, when he had caught up to the helicopter he jumped to it and grabbed the bars on the bottom and held on until they reached the white house.
