“Oh, that’s… a lot,” Dare said carefully. This girl seemed to have had a far different upbringing than she’d had, but she was determined to connect nonetheless. “Nonfiction books are pretty cool, especially ones about technology. Is loads of research the way you were able to build that suit of yours? I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but you did build it, right?” she asked, gesturing to Yumi’s chestplate.
"Yes, I'm going to stand here like an idiot," Kade said, rolling his eyes. "I could take him." He paused. "But… thanks." He turned to go, then asked, "Where am I, anyway?"
Tempest soon woke up as he couldn't take that dream anymore. His whole body shook a bit as he adjusted his eyes. No sleep was not going to be enjoyable anymore
Rose looked to him ans shook her head "I don't believe you know what that thing was and to answer your question you're in a hunting ground…and your the prey."
Her answer didn't scare him, just made him annoyed. "Thanks," he said, sarcastically. "That really cleared it up. I now know exactly where I am, what I'm doing here, and how to get out. You're such a big help."
"Did It occur to you that maybe I have little more information than you." She rolled her eyes and turned from Kade and started her way down a path cleared in the snow, pulling out her wand, the tip lighting with a golden flame to provide more light for herself
“Oh, of course. My mech took a year to build fully, and I still improve it. It’s been worked on for half my life.” Yumi said, rubbing her chest plate. “It’s all in this. My most prized possession.”
Yumi smiled a bit, she felt comfortable around people who didn’t want to hurt her, and help her out. No one was nice to Yumi, she was picked on since childhood, and hunted a lot, Yumi never knew why. Her parents were never home either, so she had no one to talk to. All she has is her technology.
"Well, since you seemed to provide such useful information the first time, I thought that that was all you knew." Kade really wanted to know, but his pride kept him from asking.
“That’s pretty amazing, Yumi. You must be, like, a tech genius or something!” Dare was seriously impressed by the girl’s inventing skills, especially because they seemed so useful. “Do you only work on your mech, or do you have other inventions that you work on?” She grabbed the curved stick she was as using as a fishhook and began carving it again to give her hands something to do.
Tempest's body refused to go back to sleep so he himself motioned where he was sitting like he was opening an imaginary locker, knowing this never used to drain him too much and right now he needed all that he could get to protect his little group for he knew they were not fighters like he was
"Well go bother someone else…hell stick around where Slash was just launched if you wanna talk to someone…I have to find my friends…can't let anything happen to them." Rose told Kade
“O-Oh… thank you…” Yumi blushed in embarrassment, the compliments were overwhelming to her. “I work on a lot of stuff. For example, the lighter, I made it from scratch. I make a lot of things already invented from scratch, sometimes I find my version more useful then the original, but most of the time it’s not the case.”
Yumi grabbed a book out of her bag, it was the journal again. She looked at it, a bit depressed. She opened it, a page with a sketch of her mech, it wasn’t the finest, but it showed the design, features, some steps, what’s its made of. “This is the beta, the first version.”
She traces over the design slowly with her finger, looking more sad as she does it. The sketch smears somewhat, the pencil led rubbing against her smooth finger.
(I got distracted for a while, sorry. I know I’m slow, don’t yell please I’m so sorry TwT)
Blake frowned. "Haven?"
Tempest then stuck his hand into something not visible to the eye, as if he was trying to find something.
Giovanni signed to Blake 'yes Haven is the organisation trying to capture, imprison, or kill the man responsible for this event.'
(It’s ok dude!)
(Thanks… )
Blake shrugged. "Well, I guess we're on the same side. Who is responsible for this, anyway?"
Dare was a little confused at the girl’s sad expression, but decided not to press the issue. “What can your mech do?” she asked gently, pointing at the sketch. “I’m not an inventor myself, so forgive me if I’m having trouble understanding your drawings.” A sudden movement in the corner of her eye caught her attention, and she saw Tempest, now awake, his hand moving around in the air like he was looking for something. “What are we doing over there, my furry friend?” Dare called.
Yumi looked up. “Oh… I’m sorry… this is just my old journal, my mom gave it to me. She got murdered, along with my father after I graduated high school early…”
Yumi had a bit of tears forming, she forced a smile out, and erased her tears with a sleeve. “My mech has a transformable arm, which turns into a sword, but I’m not good with a sword. I have my transformable wall, and my full mech suit. My mech looks like a dragon, based on my parents favorite species…”
(Yeah @Mood-Swings-Xcnx4 it's completely fine^^)
'A shadow demon called Zerack' and he explained to Blake what he was and what he wanted (cause I've written it out a couple of times already :P)
Tempest pulled out a backpack from the 'invisible locker' and zipped it open "Just getting all the help we can get." he muttered, pulling a some little spare parts, his own tattered notebook and a wristwatch that when he pulled it on his left wrist and flipped the face towards his palm. It let out a taser like sound. Then he flipped it back to the correct position a normal wristwatch should be. He then took out a silver rod that he held out for one of them to take. It was half an arm's length long.
Swords, walls, suits. God, Dare had to get herself one of those. “I’m sorry about your parents, truly, but did you say dragons? Like, real, live dragons are things that exist in your homeland?” she asked with growing curiosity. She saw that Tempest had taken out some kind of metal rod, and she tilted her head in confusion. “What… is that, exactly?”
“Yeah, dragons exist in my home land. They were endangered, I even met a dragon, although it was weak, and dying, I’ll never forget what it told me. ‘Strength is one thing, but intelligence can be better. Keep learning.’” Yumi smiled, and realized she was off topic. “Oh sorry…”
Yumi looked at the Silver rod, it looked perfect for an invention. She didn’t want to risk anything. “What’s it for?”
"A shifter tool. It turns to what the user needs. I spliced together magic and machinery. It's rare but I think you need it more than I do." The young wolf boy told Dare
“Dragons exist- I can’t believe it. I’ve been lied to.” Dare was quite shocked, but didn’t have time to fully express it as she turned back towards Tempest. “I- wow, thank you,” Dare stuttered. She took the smooth rod into her hand, the metal chilling her palm as she ran her fingers across it. “How does it work, exactly?”
Yumi started at the rod, amazement filled her face. “Wow! It can transform into anything? That’s so cool! If I only I could build something like it. I would change everything! But I can’t…”
