Neopian Travels - The Search For Aiman

[Nacht]

Miniopia

The group stands outside Asina Corp. Nacht, Musashi, Sakura, Tobias, Sperrit. (not necessarily in that order) Musashi pulls a device from a pocket. It is metallic and about the size of a large book. The device is covered in tiny buttons and knobs.

"Okay, everyone. I have gotten a lock on Aiman's armor, so we will leave now if you are all ready. We will be coming out in close proximation to the building that Aiman is in. We will have to go in and get him. It will be extremely dangerous. As soon as I get this thing set up we will leave."

Musashi begins to rapidly push buttons on the little machine. It emits a low hum after a minute. What looks like a remote sensor is on the end of it. A distortion shoots out from the sensor and creates a perfectly circular feild of swirling colors in front of them. It is surprisingly silent.

"Jump in! All together!" Musashi yells.

Everyone seems apprehensive at first. They eye the portal dubiously.
Come on, lets go! Nacht ushers them over.

They jump in mostly at the same time, and Musashi follows right behind them. The silence outside the portal is broken instantly upon entering it. Matter rushes and ebbs around them making deafening, eery sounds. All colors imaginable are swirling all around them, folding and changing into other colors. Nothing can be seen except the Matter.

Neopia

**(OOC: Side Note:: Neopia is Miniopia 5000 years in the future )**
All in a rush, they are all standing outside the portal in silence once again. It is very disorienting and the silence pounds in their ears. Nacht shakes her head to clear it and then takes a look at where she is.

In all of her travels, she has never seen anything like this. As far as the eye can see into the sky extend the tallest buidings imaginable. They are so tall, one cannot see the top with the human eye. These buildings are all crammed very close to eachother, with moving byways and sidewalks extending from one to the another. It is a maze of passes zigging and zagging everywhere between the buildings. Among all of these are flying metallic machines. They are all different sizes, and leave trails of distortion behind them. The skyscrapers are so tall and crammed together that the sun is completely blacked out, making it a perpetual night on the ground. Thousands of street lights are forever lit, and cast a bright white haze over everything.
**(OOC:: This city is comparable to the city in Star wars Episodes 1 and 2 or The 5th Element)**

On the street, are scattered groups of filthy people. They all wear some sort of metal scraps and cloth clothing caked with stinking filth. The groups of people standing around wear the same clothes, respectively. One group wears garishly bright metal plates over black cloth. Another, wears completely black. Another wears greys. They all have outrageous matted, dirt-caked hair or battered helmets.

Nacht looks around at everyone. Now remember, magic use is striclty forbidden here! We will be thrown in prison or worse! Everyone be careful, and keep your weapons well hidden!

The group in black begins to notice the Miniopians. They talk among themselves while glancing over and pointing; they begin to advance. Their stench is practically tangible as they get closer.

[Tobias]

While traveling throught the time portal, Tobias recognizes the colors, from when he was thrown to miniopia long ago. Now, instead of coming into teh lush land, he arrived in the city. When Tobias finally absorbed all of the size of everything, he then looked around. When Nacht had mentioned to hide weapons, tobias almost laughed, noting the size of his broadsword.

He notices the people walking closer to himself, and he crosses his arms.

[Sperrit]

Sperrit looks dubiously around and frowns at Nacht. "Well... I guess it's good that stealth is needed, because there's barely enough Earth energy to keep a tree alive. MAN I hate cities.... I should be able to tap into the deeper reserves for fighting, but fancy earth manipulation is going to be on a need to basis."
Sperrit closes his eyes and smiles. "I can still sense energy signatures, though. If we get close enough to him, Aiman will stand out like sore thumb! Let's go!"

[Sakura]

Sakura stuff her bear into her sleeve, "Well you said keep all weapons hidden." She finally looks around, "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" She finally realizes where she and the rest are at. "OH MY GOSH!!!" She clings on to one of the group members and freaks out, "There are big metals things around. I'M GUNNA DIE!" Sakura over-reacts.

[Aiman]

OOC: Aiman arrives Neopia 45 minutes before the party does. So he has a 45 minutes headstart.

BIC: Aiman appears in room that resembles a dome. He looks around and sees the nearest door. He runs towards it and opens it. He sees to guards that recognize him inmediatly.

"Aiman ?? What are you doing here ? I thought you were on a mission and died ?!" One of the guard said.

"Unfortunaly, that's not true. As you see I am here... Now out of my way, I need to see the counsil inmediatly !!" Aiman responded.

"Aiman, you know I cant let you go through like this. Please, dont do this." The guard said while putting his hand on Aiman's shoulder.

"Take your hand off me !!" Aiman yelled. "I need to see the counsil now !! Dont you understand ? It is an emergency." Aiman grabbed the guard by his neck and threw him on the other guard knocking them both out.

Aiman made his way to the other door to the next room. This room ressembled some kind of lobby. He made his way to an elevator and went straight for a keypad located next to the floor buttons. He inputs a code and the elevator moves straight up to the last floor. The elevator door opens up and Aiman walks out.

"We've been expecting you Aiman Amir." A figure said while hiding in the shadows of the dark room.

Aiman steps fowards into a beam of light in the middle of the room. He looks up and takes off his helmet. "I know you have. And I have but one reason to be here. Why are you involving her in this ?" Aiman said.

"What are you talking about Aiman ?" The person asked.

"You know what and who. The only person I swore to you and myself to forget about because my mission was always first !! The person you told me not to think of anymore. The one I risked my life to safe and paid the consequences !! You know exactly who Im talking about !! Why are you involving her in this ? Isnt it hard enough knowing that Dr Ascarion betrayed us with this Suit ? Because of that I have a demon inside of me that I cant control and I am not who I used to be anymore because of it !! Why are you making this more complicated than it already is !!!" Aiman yelled. "You know how I feel about her. Why do you have to put her in danger once again ?!"

"The princess, eh ? Is that why you are here ? To see her ? I told you she was going to be safe here. I gave you my word to protect her for you." The person was saying and Aiman interrupted..."Well apparently you are not doing a very good job !! She was in the past, in the Miniopia HQ building !!! Why was she there ?!"

"I have no idea what you are talking about. She is in 24/7 surveillance. See for yourself."

A screen lowered from the top of the room and showed the image of Skylah sitting on a throne in a holy kind of room.

"I have to see her." Aiman said.

"You know I cant allow you to do that. She has already forgotten about you, like you forgot about her." The person replied.

"Well, if you cant allow me, try and stop me..." Aiman said while putting his helmet back on. He then turned around and started to walk towards the door.

"GUARDS !!!" The person yelled. "Seize him..."

Aiman looked back over his shoulder and then turned to look at the guards walking through the door.

"Hahaha... Let's do this. Come on !!"

[Tobias]

Tobias notices Sakura is gripping tightly around his leg...so tightly, its starting to hurt...ALOT! Tobias shakes her off, and says to her "get a grip on yourself...your going to need it." He then looks at the others, and says: "well, where do we go first?"

[Nacht]

The gang sneers as they approach; the stench is overpowering. Nacht covers her nose and squints her eyes.

She steps forward and says, Hello, we are from Miniopia. Do know a man named Aiman Amir?

She hopes to make small conversation to ward off these horrid people so they can leave.

The gang member with the most outrageous hair steps forward menacingly. He eyes Nacht and drools a little out of the corner of his mouth.
"Heeeeeh, pritty gurl. Come over here and I'll be any Aiman you want... gleeeeeeehhhh...."

Nacht frowns and says carefully, We are just passing through Neopia. We need to locate our friend as we fear he is in great danger.

He licks his lips sloppily and drools some more. "Weeelll, what about the little cat guuurl... "

Now Nacht is getting angry. She steps in front of Sakura, blocking his view of her. She hisses quietly in his face, You may not touch any of my party members in any way. Step aside and we will be on our way.

The other gang members sweep forward, growling like animals. Nacht straightens and glares at all of them.

We know weapons are not allowed in Neopia, therefore, we know you have none! Just stand back, so we can leave!

For the first time they seem to notice Musashi standing rigidly, with his Swallow poorly hidden behind his back. And Tobias reaching for Eden: also poorly hidden. Nacht grins a horrible, murderous smile combined with her brainwarping ability.

The gang looks around, suddenly unsure of themselves.

[Sperrit]

Sperrit laughes. "Obviously you kind folks can't help us, so just move out of the way so we can pass...."
Sperrit steps forward, and the gang, noticing he has no weapons, close in around him.
"I don't thiiiiink sooooo...." one of them drools.
Sperrit looks around from face to face for a few second and then punches one of the guys in the throat. He groans and then falls to the ground. Sperrit shakes his hand.
"Dang... that's harder to do without Earth power...."
His comment is cut short, however, as the gang takes it's cue to start the fighting. Sperrit leaps up and over the guys coming up behind him, landing in front of his companions.
"Sorry about that, guys, guess I kinda forced us into this..." Sperrit grins. "Just try not to hurt them too much, eh? They're just bums..."

[Tobias]

(OOC: hehe, nacht, Aiman's sword is called skye. My sword is called Eden, like Katana's seal.)

BIC: Tobias jolts from his position, reappearing wiht a hand embedded in the armor of one of the gang members. Slowly, the armor breaks off of the greasy man, and a horrible stench comes out. The man falls to the ground, and Tobias looks over to the group, and yells out: "Their armor isnt that hard, a good punch should break it...that, or go for the face "

Almost directly after that, Tobias is gone, but found with his fist embedded in the stomach of another gang member. The armor slides off of him, as it did the other dood

[Musashi]

Musashi glared at the gang's leader, his anger seething at the comment to Sakura. His hand instinctively reached for his swallow, but drew back remembering the law of Neopia. He'd been here once before, long ago, and the Asina Elite was a force he'd prefer not to reckon with right now. The foul stench of the slums was overpowering, exactly the same as it had been all those years ago. He stepped forward, focused, his eyes grim and determined.

"Back off Freak!"

He abruptly connected a powerful rising uppercut into the leader's chin, launching him a few feet in the air, Musashi's own momentum carrying himself upward. The dragoon spun in mid-air, flipping around to the leader's backside, and delivered a side kick into the leader's armored crown, splitting the helmet down lengthwise and piercing its metallic edge deep into the leader's head. A shower of sparks and circuitry erupted from the leader's cranium, revealing his android innards, as he flew backwards into the titanium wall of one of the skyscraper's. With a flash of light and sparks, the leader's robotic enhancements failed, racking his body with electricty until it jolted offline. Musashi landed silently, still glaring, rage burning in his eyes.

"Take nothing for granted here Sperrit. All is not as it seems."

He then strode to Sakura, spinning back to the face the remaining gang members, his cape trailing behind him.

"And if anyone touches the girl, you'll deal with me."
