Radiation Poisoning

  • So many newbies lately! Here is a very important PSA about one of our most vital content policies! Read it even if you are an ancient member!
Tank sat listening to Mira and Avo chatting thinking to him self about how rarely he had ever seen humans and mutants get on like this, in fact this was the second instant of this sort of this phenomenon that he had ever witnessed.
 
Kit sat on her knees and hugged herself, squeezing her shoulders. She stared down at the ground below her, ignoring the rest of the world. In here mind time froze yet she was afraid to look up cause it might unfreeze.
 
Her tail wagged a little as she had a twinkle of both curiosity and joy in her eyes. It's rare for her to see a human, so she wanted to get all the knowlege of them as she could.
 
Kit stayed that way, yellow eyes focused on nothing. Her eyes were clouded and distant, as if her body was here enduring the pain as her shield wore off but her mind was someone beyond anyone's reaches. She sand began cutting Kit everywhere, thankfully, her back was to the strong wind. But, because of how strong the wind was her body was lifted from the ground and tossed everywhere. She didn't know this though.

Kila on the other hand, did know. Blood covered Kila's fur and soon the demon cat was coughing up blood. Because of their blood bond wherever Kit got hurt, Kila got hurt in the same spot with the same amount of pain. The cat now laid on the bed inside the cabin, trembling and making the sheets bloody.
 
Avo was about to reply to Mira when the cat started bleeding and rolling around. "Shit." He sounded very concerned, because he was. It looked like the cat had extreme radiation poisoning, despite it's mutation. "That looks like radiation poisoning." He Produced a geiger counter from his pocket. It was deteriorating and had a large crack across its plastic casing. It displayed no change in radioactivity. He hit it a few times but it didn't change. "Or not." He calmed down. It must be its mutations that were doing that.He thought.
 
She looks over to Kila and crawls over, trying to figure out what was wrong. Mira was good with animals and she had practiced to treat wounds and other things to prevent them from dying. She was searching for the problem, but found none. She was utterly confused and her tail started flickering. "I don't know what's wrong... She just started bleeding... this is bad..." She looked at Avo. "Do you at least have anything to stop the bleeding?" She asked him, beginning to look desperate. Mira loved every animal, dangerous or not, and she couldn't stand to see them hurt.
 
Kila opened her eyes wide and a loud scream escaped her mouth. A large wound formed in the cat's torso and Kila fell onto her stomach, blood flowing. A scream was heard from outside.

Kit had been pierced through the torso by a large piece of metal in the ground. Thankfully, it missed her spine but the pain was intense enough to snap Kit back into reality. She felt all the pain at once and a ear piercing scream came from her mouth. She coughed up blood and used her arms to block the wind and sand from her face. If the storm didn't let up soon, Kit and Kila would die.
 
Mira was terrified. She had no idea what was going on. "I- I..." she couldn't get anything else out. Her tail drooped and she began to worry. A tear rolled down her face and she covered her mouth.
 
The scream attracted the attention of a class three. Its large shadow was rapidly growing as it appeared out of the storm, the beast thundered toward Kit, ice sprouting in spikes in its footprints. It swung its large fist at her, hoping to knock her to the side and into another class three.
 
Kit didn't even notice the class three until it was to late. Her body was thrown off the metal and she landed beside another class three but dug her nails and feet into the ground. One eyes was tightly closed while the other was only half way open. She clenched her jaw, doing her best to stay awake.
 
"Kit's been gone for a long time now..." Mira said. "I'm starting to worry..." She looked at V. "Is there any way I can go outside without getting hurt?"
 
V was still very much asleep, though now it was lying on its side because Kit's kick unbalanced it.
 
She grumbled and grabbed some blankets, wrapping them around exposed areas to attempt to go outside. Mira walked to the entrance, pausing. She was scared. Afraid to get hurt.
 
Most people which were killed by the environment, only became so unlucky because of their logic on level-3's. Avoid them and don't die was the general rule of thumb. However... being instinctual, one could assume they 'hunt'. So finding life was as a easy as follwoing them around, which actually wasn't all that easy.

The being, seemingly perfectly human, was covered in a thick cloak that covered from boot to hood of almost a leather-esque material. This thick material was clearly not some old-world leather however as it seemed to Ward off the storm as easily as a rain coat does rain. Under the hood was a face, dark-skinned and tanned, with a crown of auburn, bobcut hair and eyesockets that held bright green ebbs. These eyes were covered with small goggles the opaqued Oliver's eyes in a dark green. The goggles allowed sight, and sight allowed the spectacle of some poor soul meeting a couple of level-3's. In Ollie's eyes that person was dead. Give or take fifteen or thirty seconds. Her existence, however, along with her surroundings gave Oliver reason to keep moving though. Shelter, and a good number of Level-3's? She definitely wasn't alone.

With that in mind, Oliver's boot found a home at the decline of the hill and then let gravity take over with a little push. The cloaked figure silently cascaded down the slopped decline and upon reaching the base silently treaded to the side of the house. Then? Then Oliver vanished.

Where Oliver came from, a small, semi-stable community to the west, Ollie's pet name was 'the ghost's and the reasoning came very apparent for that as suddenly the occupents of the house had another number. Oliver slide through the wall, hands raised in some kind of dance imitation upon joining the ranks of Tank, V, Mira, Avo and a... a dying cat.

No words were spoken. The mutants being so close, and all. However, they were greeted by a jonty wave with Oliver's left hand as the right moved into the cloak and pulled out a pistol and pointed it in their general direction.
 
Tank hears Kits Scream and charges out the door shutting the barricade behind him yelling "Kit!", he approaches the class 3 with food in his hand shouting "you hungry? ive got food, this mutant is not good eating nor am i but i have enough food for you to eat and not terrorise us", he waves the food like a bone hoping to get the class 3's attention,
 
The other final class mutant was preparing to hit Kit, but was distracted by Tank. Final class mutants are notoriously difficult to reason with as they are just mindless killing machines, and this one was no different except for the mutants controlling it. Tank was quickly attacked, the class three swung a scythe like limb at Tank.

At the sudden appearance of a new person V woke up. The gun immediately caught its attention, and just like with Avo, V moved to attack the wielder. With a yowl it launched itself at Oliver.
 
Avo reached out and pulled Mira back as V attacked the intruder. He picked his rifle up off the ground. Even though the bolt was broken it made for a good bluff. He wondered if this guy had killed or otherwise harmed Kit and the other mutant he had forgotten the name of. Turk? Tank? It was probably tank.
 
Ollie wasn't sure about all that. If anything, the mutant wasn't dead. Cat-fox probably was though.

Oliver had to pick and choose the next moves carefully. The hooded, but otherwise naked creature was... intimidating. Not because of it's appearance, but because it seemed so unpredictable. Oliver chose V as the primary threat and decided if it got close enough, activating the mutation that allowed slipping through the wall.

Not sure if this small party was the target given, a quiet voice broke from otherwise silhouetted cloak, the only thing Ollie's supieror had shared that would help find the target group.

"Are you... the number, five?"

Kit got to her hands and knees, body covered in blood and gashes. She put an arm up to block the wind from her face and dug her feet and other hand into the ground to stay there.

She looked around and noticed that Tank was taking on a class 3. She saw the scythe and screamed loudly. Suddenly the ground beneath Kit glowed red and the light hurts from the ground, wrapping itself around Kit. Nothing happened but that for a few seconds then without warning Kit shot out from the light, a strange mark on her arm.

Kit wasn't herself, her eyes were crazed and red and the mark itself had never been there until now. Kit leaped into the air, all pain forgotten and landed on the beats head. She laughed like a mad women and raised her hand, fingers together. Fire took hold of her hand but didn't hurt her. She drove her hand into the monsters skull then pulled it out, blood spitting onto her face. She leaped of the beast but kept attacking him even though she inflicted the great wound to the head.

Kila stood up, eyes black and crazed like Kit's it grab out the house and transformed into it's demon form. The cat ran in the direction of Kit, ready to kill by her side.
 
Mira crouched behind Avo, terrified of the new visitor. She had absolutely no idea what was happening except for there was a gun pointed at her and her 'friends'. Her tail was fluffed up a bit and it was on the ground. If V was not this so called 'Number Five' would the person kill them? Would they leave? These questions rushed through her head. She felt anger now, starting to cloud her terror. If they wanted a fight, a fight they would get. Mira was dead set on protecting her friends, despite her size.
