Catching the head he nodded she was powerful. To powerful to just charge no to get her away from anyone that could be harm would require tact. "They are called clockworks. Some guy builds them and they can build more of themselves. Reproduce like roaches and like insects a few aren't that dangerous but when their are a bunch or a few of the larger ones then they become a threat."

He closed hand on the head and Elizabeth should be able to feel the surge in magic as the head seems to degrade and rust into dust in his hand. The effect was his power absorbing what it could then he just wiped his hand on his pants. "As for this stone city it's called Paragon and nicknamed the City of heroes. Almost 25% of the population has abilities beyond those of mere human. If they are even Human at all."

"As for getting out of here I been working on a plan. There is a gate to an area called Boomtown. I heard that Boomtown was Cut in half when the city was transported here so it is Open to this world. The gate is guarded by two well armed Police officers. Attacking them would alert anyone around but if we could sedate them then we could pass by with out anyone being the wiser."

Elven Forest

Aineruda looked at Jade then at the archers "Stand down go to the cliff top posts spread the word that the H-K was destroyed but keep alert for another."

"Alright the heart tree is the center of the forest here. It anchors the magic that around us. All the other trees you see could survive with out the magic thought would not grow to such hight. The Heart Tree however needs it the magic radiates from it's trunk. Ever since we arrived on patches the Heart Tree hasn't bloomed or generated Seeds this is because it the only one around. Something changed however somehow it producing seeds."

She looked to where the Tree ship went down. "We need to go to the Heart Tree. Follow me." With that she started walking along the path "Lazardarus remain behind for our friends return."

Laz bowed "as my Lady commands"

The voice wasn't completely ignored as the Mystic Ghost drifted down and over to the Garbage can. "I'm afraid that Rick fellow is dead. I felt his passing." she said as she looked around at the blood. "It was quite fast."

Croatoa

Gabriel walked down the street heading for the university when three figures stepped out. "Lookie here we caught ourselves a Hunter. What does it feel like to be prey Monster Slayer?"

"Hmm Three of you? Now what have I done to get such attention." He reached down and drew his blessed sword.

"Not just you! Your not important enough but all you Monster Hunters. It's Hunting seson and your numbers need thinning!"

The three Vampires jumped him but he delivered The Lotus Drops move hitting all three at once. Followed by a Sting of the Wasp driving the sword into one of the vamps heart. "You three chose a target to big for you to bite!" He then spun and delivered a Soaring Dragon nearly severing the head of a second.

"CRIPES!" The third vamp took off fleeing the Sword wielding holy man.

Gabriel wasn't going to let him get away as quick as he could he drew a bow and arrow and fired at the fleeing Vampire. Then smiled as the blood sucker fell he walked over. "Time to meet your final end unholy fiend!" then the sword came down driving through the creature's heart.

I would be willing to aid. Got a level 50 Willpower/Dark Tanker a level 48 DP/Devices Blaster Villain side I can use my 41 Psy/Mind Dom. The rest I have on Virtue are lower levels.

In game I'm @Xavou if I ever get a change global name I go to Rotten Luck in game.

"Alright just try to keep up I move faster then people think." With that Rotten started moving using the alleyways to get to the warehouse. He could have easily super jumped his way but he wanted the four to follow him.

after about 2 blocks he comes to the Warehouse and forces the door open with his shoulder. "Not sure if it's empty. should be I had just finished throwing out the trash that was here. However with the city in lock down everyone who wants to hide is finding places to hide. Including us."

He smirked a bit "Where are my Manors Ladies first of course." He went along the list of groups about and wondered if any were inside. It would be a good way to see what the Countess can do. This was not the case the place was still empty.

"Why does that name sound familiar... oh well Call me Rotten Luck. Excuse me a moment." He went over to the trash can where he placed his dinner and shoved the last of cheese burger in his mouth and swallowed.

She would see the few wounds the shopkeeper gave him heal to the point that they were gone. "As to what I am. Well that hard to define but basically I'm a Zombie. As to who raised me well that snot of a necromancer Trever. Last I heard of him he's dead at least I think so." He chose not to mention the spell book that was used.

Looking at the group it was clear that Countess was not on the list of heroes. Taking out the shopkeeper would be a snap and the two basic type Zombies wouldn't be to hard. The only unknown was the Countess herself. Then he grinned Rotten was more of a Vigilante then a full hero so he made a choice. "We better get out of here Countess the Police would be here any time to clean up the mess." He motions to the body with his thumb. "I would think it be best to be somewhere else then. I know where we can go." He wondered if that warehouse was still empty if not what ever group moved in going to have a very bad day.

Again he let her think for herself if Rotten was responsible for the body or not. For now that was playing to his advantage. He already guessed that the two Vamps and even the Zombies weren't the killer. The damage just wasn't the way vampires or Zombies killed. Better to get to know what he was dealing with before confronting the Countess. Truth was he didn't know if she committed a crime just guessed that the fresh Zombies weren't bodies she came across.

Elven Forest

Aineruda looked at the ship then at Akat "Can that thing detect any incoming Hunter Killers? More importantly can it help fight it?"

That was when Lazardarus arived "Lady Aineruda! The Hear... the Heart tree it taken to seeds! Ten of them unlike any I ever seen before!"

Aineruda and Cerelassion turned to him. Cerelassion spoke up "New seeds? But how..."

"I don't know Cerelassion but they aren't like anything I seen befor... " He looked to the Ridge Runner. "They are almost shaped like that thing."

Aineruda looked to Laz then to the Ridge Runner "That is a mystery for another time for now we need to prepare for the coming threat. I'm glad you are here Lazaradus your song spells would be a great help."

Mar rose up "I however can't help. So I shall seek shelter elsewhere." With that the now Blue and orange spider went down the path it would soon come across THe Hunter Eating the tree bark. For a moment he crouched down getting ready to rush and attack. Then thought otherwise this wasn't his people's lands and this strange creature might be rational.

He shifted out of the attack pose and spoke up "Greetings are you a rational creature?"

Heart Tree

The first of the new seeds fell and split open the life inside started growing feeding off the magical energy. The shape was similar to the Ridge Runner but with long tentacle like branches out front and fan like leaves folded against the body.

It started to rise into the air and then shook the Trunk/body slip apart and then it shattered collapsing to the ground in a wooded mess.

A flash of pain and loss echoed across the forest but the chances of failure was high. The reward of a working Tree ship was worth the risk of valuable Heart Tree seeds.

Rotten wasn't putting up much of a fight. It was something like a Football star Jock letting a nerd try to fight him. However the voice caught his attention and he looked up.

Alright Two Zombies and yet another vampire. The odds were shifting away from him and he has no clue how strong the others were. He glanced to the body vampires wouldn't waste so much blood these weren't the killer.

He looked back to Elizabeth "Heck if I know. I was just enjoying a meal when this fellow rushed me from the shadows."

Elven Forest

Aineruda looked to those gathered. "Would one of you that can fly go out and see if that Hunter Killer is on the way? I would prefer to have a warning that we are about to be attacked. If for some reason it's not on the way then perhaps we should go elsewhere and either rest or make plans."

Heart tree

The Seed pods were growing each with a slight different mix each a test. Evolution don't always lead to a solution right away but life always finds away. In each of the growing 10 pods were able to convert solar energy into the magical force needed for a Heart tree to survive.

The growing pods were spotted and Lazardarus started running for Aineruda. In the 200 years of them being on patches the Heart Tree has never has grown seeds.
