The Night Sheathe - Part 1






<ShadersHQ>
Truss roams around on Duty with his armor on around the Capitol were the Mayor lives. the watches stood by as he talked to the other guards around the place.

<ShadersHQ>"quiet as usual" he mewed taking sip from the drink, " hey you guys want any?" he offered as they shook their heads.

<NikkiParx019>Slowly watching semi from above, Sabine quickly had to think on her feet as to how to escape with her prize. Going to move her paw slipped sending her hurdling off the ledge. Landing with a thud she quickly got up and dashed off hoping no other had heard her make a sound. [It was my turn right?]

<ShadersHQ>Truss looked over the ledge seeing the lights go out from the glass room of the council, "So Truss" His ears shot up as he looked over from his comrade, "did you see the events about the underground city rising with crimelately?" he mewed bitting onto a piece of jerky from his soldier pouch.

<ShadersHQ>Truss's ears droop, "yeah I heard, they killed one of our own a few weeks back" he sighed, thinking back with his childhood memories, "it wasnt always like that"

<NikkiParx019>Deciding she was far nough out of range, yet near the entrance to the tunnels she relaxed. Hiding within the bushes trying to dim her tail, and the light of her prize. "I hope it was worth it..." she growled realizing she was doing someone else bidding. Keeping her ears alert while she planned her next move.

<ShadersHQ>Daniel spat to the side as he felt the scar on his nose, "those savages are nothing special, they only care about bloodshed, I couldn't imagine a New age killing their own" he hissed as Truss only stared looking around, "if it were me we should be raiding the place"

<NikkiParx019>Sighing she got up turning around to see if those guards had heard her. "Good at least I'm not being followed." she evily smiled. "Hmm... Go on unnoticed or start something?" she pondered knowing the answer to her question. Quickly reaching for her dagger, she threw it to make a sound near the ear range of those guards. Awaiting a reaction before she would retrieve it.

<ShadersHQ>Truss's ears shot up as he turned toward the direction of the sound, "did you hear that?" he looked around to see movement from the darkness.

<ShadersHQ>Daniel Laugh, "their are all sorts of sounds out ehr, probably a rock fell from the ceiling, relax this is an easy watch" he laughed

<ShadersHQ>Truss gave in a low growl and prepared his sword, "im going to check the area, you stay here" he ordered
<ShadersHQ>"whatever, acting captain haha"

<NikkiParx019>Slightly sure a guard had heard it she quickly darted toward it. Sleeking through the bushes as she clutched her prize. "Hmph.." she scoffed a little finally reaching her dagger which had gotten stuck in a tree. Hiding the prized trinket within bushes and dirt she went forth to tug her dagger free. Struggling to do say, fear began to run through her mind sending her blood cold.

<ShadersHQ>Truss looked around, keeping his ears open as he crossed the stone fence, looking around to see a tree rustling, as he nears it...nothing was around,"hmm...maybe Daniel was right" he hear a whistle from the watch post, "Oh shut up!" he yowled walking back.

<NikkiParx019>Noticing a guard's dim light ahead, she quickly tugged harder. Finally gaining grip, she tugged even harder as the dagger popped out knocking her onto the ground. Hitting the ground she let out a "oomph" or moan. "Why can't things ever go easy?" she coughed forgetting she was inguard ear range.

<ShadersHQ>Truss walks back to his post and pulls out a drink, "Hey I notice you been close to Chloe lately" Truss Chokes and and shook his head.

<ShadersHQ>"No no were just good friends is all, nothing special" he coughed

<ShadersHQ>Daniel pulled out his blade and twirled it around, "you sure about that, what about Ilana?" he crossed his arms, then shook his head, "naa, come on who do you think is the nicest looking girl out here?" he asked until he hear a crash, 'hmm?"

<ShadersHQ>Truss looks at him with a nod, "your turn Damian"

<NikkiParx019>Over hearing the guards conversing she realized one has kept good ear on his surroundings. "I must know more. This cat seems firmiliar by tone." she coughed some. Grabbing the trinket, re-sheathing her dagger Sabine made off. Sadly her cloak had gotten snagged on a branch. The branch seemed to curl around it making a hole. "No!" she thought panicking.

<ShadersHQ>"Fine fine whatever, you seem to think their is some sort of intruder" he laughed pulling out his blade, "oooh here kitty kitty" he taunted seeing movement over the bush, "hmm if your an animal, you would make a good snack" he laughed with his blade ready reaching over.

<NikkiParx019>Seeing a paw reaching over she unsheathed her dagger ready to defend herself, as she tried to become free. Unable to contain herself, a low hissin erupted from her throat. "You touch me you die.." she barely spoke under her breath trying to keep her mind.

<ShadersHQ>He heard a hiss from the hiding area, almost as if it was a snake, "hmm okay someone doesnt want to be killed" he draws nearer from the bush, "hey Truss I think I found a sna-" he froze as a set of paws dragged him in, holding his throat.

<NikkiParx019>Having grabbed the soldier that reached over she clawed him. Trying to see if she could use his body to repel her in order to free her cloak. "Now why should I hurt such a magnificent guard such as yourself?" she grabbed her dagger from her paw with her tail. Holding it at the gaurd's throat, trying best to clutch her stolen trinket.

<ShadersHQ>Daniel held his paws high as he dropped his weapon, "h-hey take it easy...im just a guard" he said hoping that Truss was over their, "now hows about we talk about this ey?"

<NikkiParx019>"Talk?! Ha! You make me laugh!" she cackled a bit trying to figure out some way to gain momentum inroder to free her cloak. "Now how bout you shut your mouth before I shut it for you!" she growled holding her dagger closer to his throat. Not even realizing the trinket's location had been revealed as it slowly began to glow again through the dirt.

<ShadersHQ>Daniel looks down at the thing, his eyes wide, 'Why you dirty-" he felt the tip weld into his skin, "gop, gop...stop stop please!" he hissed, "(pant) listen to me, that thing your holding is not just some gold dime treasure"

<NikkiParx019>"Oh really? Well duh why do you think I have it in my possesion?" she deviously smiled. "Now I would shut my maw before a small blade goes deeper." she flicked her ears a bit as she realized now was her chance to use him as a spring board. "Now shhh..." she leaped upon his shoulders flipping backwards. Finally retrieving the freedom with her cloak. "Now if you'll excuse me." she smiled holding the trinket, before darting off towards the tunnel entrance.

<ShadersHQ>Truss fires an arrow near her feet, stopping ehr tracks, "that far enough!" Truss hissed readying another arrow. "put the Cross Crystal down!"

<NikkiParx019>Not even hesitating she threw something onto the ground. "There happy?!" fakely growling. "Now have fun!" she smiled darting off into the entrance still holding her trinket in hand. "That was way to easy!" she laughed as it slightly echoed throughout the walls of each tunnel/cavern.


<ShadersHQ>"Shit!" Truss pulled out his blade and leaped over to chase her down, stop!" he leaps over at the rock and aims an arrow at her shoulder (I dont want to kill her, I just need her to be sustained) he thought pulling back

<NikkiParx019>Feeling an arrow graze her shoulder ripping through her cloak, Sabine clutched it for a second before darting off into a tunnel she had marked towards where her lean to was. " Stop why should I?!" she called back to the gaurd before residing into the tunnel's shadows.

<ShadersHQ>"Alright" he puts up his bow and leaps down from the ledge, pulling out a dark light glow bag showing the bright marks of blood from the ground, "well play hunt then. " he pulls out his sword and follows the trace into the tunnel.

<NikkiParx019>Fright overwhelming her, Sabine quickly darted into a cavern hitting a stone rolling down the way towards her 'home'. "Ow! Ouch! Ugh.." she groaned as she tumbled down the incline hitting almost every stone and small dull spike.

<ShadersHQ>Truss heard a thump from the end of the tunnel and dropped the bag , pulling out his tail cover from under his soldier pack to hide his tail light. running stealthy with the sword at hand and looking for a blue glow as he continues to hear shuffling.

<NikkiParx019>Thinking she's almost at the end of the incline, she held her breath knowing the water would come next. "What a plun of excitement!" she thought to herself as she tumbled a bit more before snatching onto a spike hoping not to fall into the water just yet.

<ShadersHQ>Truss rushes towards the AREA as he went to a sudden stop, "whoa!" he yowled hearing his echo towards the ruins of the underground city. "geez not this place again" he mewed to a whisper, pulling up a mask to cover his face, "I knew it, she is a bandit of the rougues" he hissed and pulled out a set of iron claws as he looked around.

<NikkiParx019>Shivering as she hung on to the spike. "He-!" she almost cried out realizing how cowardly that sounded. Hoping the guard wasn't in the mood to kill she scratched her way in hopes of regaining her postion atop the incline away from the ledge. As her claws screeched across the stone she lost grip of one paw.

<ShadersHQ>Truss leaped off towards a ledge and slammed his claws into the wall, gripping the rock as he slid down, "I have to find that rogue....she must be heading for the hideout" he hissed looking around as he is sliding.

<NikkiParx019>Reluctantly giving in she yowled in fright. Unknowing what to do next beside fall into the water below where pain would strike her. "Agh...." she cried out slowly loosing grip of her other paw. Feeling the trinket slowly slip out of her pocket, she decided to let go inorder to keep it safe. "Why?" she sighed to herself closing her eyes as she gripped the trinket.

<ShadersHQ>Truss made a flip and landed low with his sword out, keeping his ear straight and looking around, "gnn I wish I had backup on this...off all places for a guard" he mewed as he took a wiff in the air through the trash piled through in this place....suddenly he smelled the wiff of fresh blood and gripped his sword tight. Looking around for the scent.

<NikkiParx019>Unable to move, she laid within the cool water, barely opening her eyes to see the small tunnel leading to her old lean to home. "I'm sorry I didn't make it.." she passed out. The fall had landed her in shallow water where even the smooth pebble could leave a mark.

<ShadersHQ>Truss turns around and looks over at the puddle of water for what looks like a spirit pool, in the water though their was the theif still holding onto the trinket, blood stood frozen around the wound but it could also be a trap, he had to make sure that she was down. "Alright fleabag" he bares his fangs as he pulls out a small blade, a single move from her and he will cut her open, but if he can retrieve the Contrast Crystal then he can leave in peace. Knowing the Healing blue will sustain her wounds for a minute, which lead to time as he nears her body.

<NikkiParx019>Barely flinching her claws unsheathed subconsciously. Making sure all her hard work wouldn't be taken from her. Feeling her wound throb within the water, she knew she needed to get out of it. She always was told stay out of certain water pools. Some were deadly. This one was unknown. Moaning she tried to get up to a sitting position.

<NikkiParx019>Not even realizing the guard was near enough to her. Sabine was in such a daze if she were to be attacked she would have no chance. Even if she did try to fight back.

<ShadersHQ>Truss saw her gaining conscious and Tackled her against the wall, hood still up with hs arm up against her neck and a blade pointed at her stomach, "alright talk!" he hissed, "who the hell are you! Why did you want this item!" he hissed, "do you realize you could have caused a war!, you fucking idiot!" he yelled at her.

<NikkiParx019>Shuddering a bit as the brute blunt force caused the wind to escape her. Coughing she replied. "I am Night Sheathe. A name you shall never forget. I need this trinket in order to stay alive you swine!" she coughed again feeling the pressure against her throat, as she tried to suck in her stomach to make it harder to lunge the blade in. "Now why don't you leave me go or at least disable me before I pass out again from you almost suffocating me!" she yowled at the three figures she saw infront of her.

<ShadersHQ>Truss was enraged by this Night Sheathe person as he reached in and threw her outside of the pool, with the trinket in hand, "you wont gain anything  with this" he hissed putting it into his soldier bag and pulling out his sword, "I am going back with this, with you dead or alive. This thing is an important symbol to my kind"

<NikkiParx019>Being flung back into the water she coughed regaining breath, slowly reaching for her dagger. "I'd never thought a guard like you would be so merciless to kill. Have you ever done anything to save your neck and a bunch of little ones?!" she yowled springing up as her wound burned. Lunging at the brute though out length with his sword. "I don't think you'll take me dead." she smirked trying her best to slice her dagger across some part of his abdomen or face. Taking her claws as well slashing them across his face in hopes of distracting him while she grabbed the trinket and took off.

<ShadersHQ>Truss dodges around and got lashed in the cheek seeing his own fur brush off and gritted as he kicks her away, "to save my own neck out for little ones, plenty of times" he snarled, "have you ever heard of the slayer of Topaz well your looking at him" he boasted with gritted teeth as he took a second look and notice she left, "hey that was good! what the heck!" he hissed and ran after her.

<NikkiParx019>Racing through her small cavern tunnel she hoped to reach her lean to in time. Or else she would have to pay with her life. "Oh let my parents look down upon me in hopes for survival." she looked up barely as she almost stumbled on a stone. "I'm here!" she yelled hoping the echo would lead to the other theifs. "I've got it!" she yowled finally reaching her lean to filled with a gang of highly skilled, killer theifs 


<ShadersHQ>Truss stopped in his tracks, hearing foot steps around the place as he saw a glimps of a couple of cats, "well well well, a guard of New age" Truss hissed as stood firm, "your a long way from home kiddo" Truss placed back his sword and pulled out his bow, "Oh look at that guys hes going to shoot up close" He swung the bow down at his skull, knocking him out with a yelp as he struggled from the group. 

<NikkiParx019>"Now was that necessary?!" she growled holding the trinket still coming up from behind the idiotic brutes who had knocked the gaurd unconscious. "I can easily return or BURN this special little thing." she purred examineing it more as she corressed it. "Now either leave him be to regain him self or... Lose you precious prize." she grinned holding the trinket within sheathed claws clenching it. "What is your chocie?" she looked at the gang.

<ShadersHQ>The gang looked up at the thing, "its a fake Id say" he hissed looking over at the guard, as Truss Smashed his head towards the brute and threw him over to the others in front of him, "Get out of my way" Truss yelled as he pulls out a white bomb called a Bloom FLower and the whole cave bloomed into a flashing light (flash grenade) causing the others to get blind. "He leaps on top of one of the heads and reaches for Night Sheath

<NikkiParx019>Blinded by the light she realized it would be smarter to close her eyes and use her other senses. "Hmmm.." she licked the air tasting a wind, as vibrations traveled up her spine. "Well adios boys!" she smiled turning to dart off into a darker cavern where she could regain sight. Not knowing that that guard was right on her tail.

<ShadersHQ>Truss rushed into an alley that is clearly a street from his eyes, she was planning to escape for another tunnel that had red eyes with teeth...the Rougue tavern, "Alright going live" he pulled out his bow and a clip bomb he had the Blacksmith make and attached it as he aimed for a building, "not going to let you get away" he fires it as it sours like a phoenix to the walls of a building. The explosion created an impact that stopped the hooded villain in her tracks and made a blocked path, "end of the line he threw his bow and pulled out his sword, rushing in for a charge

<NikkiParx019>"Pfft nice try swine!" she closed her eyes relaxing before flipping backwards onto the rubble. "I may not have a path but none say I can't dig my way or.." she smiled leaping down from her ledge dagger out to penetrate the guards attack. "Now let's see" she yowled hoping to land atop the brute in order to give him a taste of his own medicine. "Now you'll see how it feels..." she trailed off in her mind hoping everything would work out. All she wanted to do was stay alive.

<ShadersHQ>Truss angled his ears to hear the wisp of the blade drawing though, remembering the training he recieved from his mentor Maya, He felt the surge of Mayonaka coursing through him as he turned and let the blade glide against the sword, seeing the sparks graze against the collision. And with his other hand he Grab hold of her tail and pulled her back with his elbow hitting her head hard against the ground. For a moment she moaned but was down, "your done..." he panted, seeing the trinket fall from the side as he picked it up, "gnn, your too dangerous to roam around" he hissed and pulled out a needled with a type of liquid behind it, "your coming with me"

<NikkiParx019>"Wait what?!" she yowled as a pain surged through from her wound and now her throbbing head. "How do you expect to get me to go with you? That little needle is noth-" she paused realizing the last time she saw a needle she couldn't remember what had happened that night except her abandonment. "You dare get close to me with that and I'll!" she hissed trying to figure someway of getting up and trying to crawl over to a wall thinking there was a tunnel there.

<ShadersHQ>Truss held her down by the neck and placed it against her shoulder, she yowled as he liquid coursed into her, " this will make you sleep, j-just stop...struggling" he placed his weight on top of her as she continues

<NikkiParx019>Struggling she finally felt the sensation pass through her veins. Hazily seeing the gaurd for the last time, everything went black. She heard, nor felt anything. It was if she was still consciously awake though incapable of moving any of her appendages. Screaming to herself in her mind "What the hell is going on?!" Sabine finally was at a calm rest. Not even her mind was working, as her breath slowed.

<ShadersHQ>Truss sighed, feeling his shoulder throb from those guys as he lits her up over his shoulders and the Contrast Crystal that continues to glow, "sorry fellas but your not getting both of them" he taunted and walks off towards the tunnel back to the entrance of New Age
city.


To be continued...


Intermission....

A cup of tea was carried down from a corridore, hearing the clank of footsteps from a cane as he looks at hte written report by Truss Ashford, "hmm how interesting" he mewed taking another sip, "lets us take a peak at our guest then"

Cool, man.

I like the way the ceiling is drawn. Its real cool. So is the rest of the background; dark, eerieness in the tunnel here looks awesome. I like the foreground, too. The characters seem to be in a vicious battle, and they've got good poses. Their faces are great. I also like the way u made the lines of the dark blue guy's feet skiddin on the floor. Their suits are cool, too. The glow effects here look awesome. The only real problem I could see was that the guy with the longer sword has his left arm draw a bit too short.

The vision here is good, the originality and technique are really epic, and the impact is pretty awesome.
Nice job, buddy.
