The March - The Kill {Horde Attack}

[Clif]

Miran didn't need to be given a second notice when the ground began to tremble, and a dull white light engulfed the group, teleporting the Horde members whether or not they had a full count of those who attended them on the way to the Alcove. The mimic alakazam mentally sighed as they disappeared from the scene, hopefully never having to confront the miracle-working furret with such few numbers. Since this was a matter of utmost importance, Miran teleported the group directly to where he had last encountered the Shadow Lord, Chancol.

"Slashthroat! I'm going to break your fucking--" just as Veneno swooped out of the forest, the Horde had teleported to safety. "Dammit!"

[wynnyelle]

Chunga lay unconscious not far away, at the edge of the woods. The earthquake had subsided, leaving a few trees tilting around newly opened fissures in the ground. The last raindrops misted over a forest veiled in a curtain of rising steam and smoke.

[Omega]

Verrou came out of the forest to see Chunga. "That furret looks familiar," he said to himself. Realizing who it was, he dashed over and nudged him. "Hey, buddy. Wake up."

[wynnyelle]

Chunga finally woke up to the sound of Verrou's nudging. He had the faint, nagging feeling of something urgent. Something was telling him he had to get out of here, fast, before they got him, whoever they were. "...huh? Where...?"

[Omega]

"It's me, Verrou. We met in the berry orchards," replied Verrou, "You were knocked unconscious."

[wynnyelle]

"Seems like...no." Chunga shook his head. He felt more confused and yet more lucid than he ever had before. "They're coming. I got, I got to get outta here." He tried to rise but he was too dizzy to make it to his feet. He rolled back onto his backside with a resigned moan.

[Omega]

"What's coming?" asked Verrou. He began to wonder if Chunga was hit on the head a little too hard.

[wynnyelle]

"Them...I don't know their names...but..." Chunga sat up, a little too suddenly for his dizzied, weakened state. He had gone from wielding godlike powers to being unable to sit up without fainting. He slumped back down.

[Omega]

Verrou began to realize Chunga may not come to terms with reality anytime soon. "Come on, I'll take you away from here," he said.

[wynnyelle]

"Hafta get outta here," mumbled Chunga as he got up with Verrou's help. He was bigger than the electric cat--particularly heavier--but he had to lean on him all the same.

[Omega]

"You can barely stand," replied Verrou, "I can't really carry you. I'm still pretty skinny from being locked up so long and... not to offend, but you're not exactly the lightest berry on the tree."

[wynnyelle]

"Nummatter how I diet I never seem to lose any," said Chunga. "I gave up a long time ago."

[Omega]

"Well, anyway, what is coming and why?" asked Verrou.

[wynnyelle]

"The...I don't know anymore," said Chunga. "I...I just, I was having this dream, something was coming. A whole army or something. Wrecking the whole world."

[Omega]

Verrou rolled his eyes, "Whatever. But now that the prisoners are all dead, what should we do?"

[wynnyelle]

"They're not all dead," said Chunga, "this ain't alla them by a long shot. They'll come back--or mebbe they'll stay away, might be smarter."

[Omega]

"I just hope the Horde doesn't come back," replied Verrou.

Veneno overheard the conversation and swooped in, "Bah, they'll be back. And in larger numbers. The Horde doesn't back down easily."

[wynnyelle]

Chunga finally got back to his feet. "Ya been great, guys. Thanks fer everything..and good luck. I gotta get outta here...gotta get out before they get me...whoever they are."

[Omega]

"I hope to see you again in the future," replied Verrou.

[wynnyelle]

"We'll meet again, I'm sure of it," said Chunga. Then, he was off, using the last of his strength to run in his waddly way out into the forest. He didn't know where he was headed, but he had a feeling he was going in the right direction.

[Omega]

"That is one dumbass furret," commented Veneno.

"He saved my life a few months ago," replied Verrou.

[†Grovyle†]

Zane sat quietly. He had no idea when he'd get a kill.
'That dumb ass Zangoose,Scarblade,probbably chickened out about killing me..'
He chuckled at Scarblade.
"I still have my thoughts!"

[Omega]

Veneno and Verrou departed the Alcove.
