{Because Streak is himself...}

Streak - Tags: Lightning, Sort of Shadow, Finn, and Spray

The dragon's wings flared at her idea of finding more like him. He didn't want that. At all. Especially to find a dragon of his species... or worse, dragonkind siding against him in the war he'd fled. He was going to say something, but decided against it, especially as Shadow drove away from the scene. His tail slammed against the ground in frusteration. If they found another dragon then it would be disasterous... perhaps even more so for him than what had happened today. Streak's ears laid back against his head as he thought once again of what had happened earlier. Perhaps this... Finn character was someone he could speak to. Or Spray. So, upon acting upon the thought, the dragon walked over nearer to the scene, where a passed out racecar lay. Streak made a face as he looked at the car. The others seemed to want him awakened, and there was only one way to do that in this case. The dragon stood in front of the racecar and licked his hood like that of a dog. Streak's tongue was cold as ice... and wet... and sticky. He knew it wasn't pleasent for anyone to be licked, and often times he'd lick Rush just for the Corsair's reaction.

Rush - Tags: Oskar, Skipper

Rush cringed hearing the Skipper's voice. Even after all these years it was nearly impossible for Rush to disobey an order. Perhaps it was his guilt to cause him to do so, but he doubted he'd disobey the older Corsair even if Glendalcanal hadn't destroyed his squadron. He fumbled over his words for a minute, gathering his thoughts. This was why Rush had avoided his leader for so long. This was why he sometimes wished Streak hadn't dragged him here to Propwash. He started hesitently, "You say the word 'German' as if it is a condemned word. If you had been here when the murderers attacked..." he trailed off, feeling pinned beneath Skipper's ice cold eyes.

Otter - Tags: Blade

Otter, too, turned his attention towards Dusty's voice. You could tell it was hard for him to know that his home and people of his home had been attacked for no known reason. And even if there was a reason, this was killing and injuring inoccients! Cars and planes that had no chance to stand against the fully armed troops of the enemy. If not for those like Blade, perhaps the battle might still be raging. Perhaps he might be dead, Blade dead, Dusty dead.... all of them. Dead. All the more reason to believe his reasoning that they were there for a purpose, because without them, things would have been disasterous. Even more so than they already were.

Oskar and Skipper - Tags: Rush

Skipper's frown remained on his face, and his eyes remained narrow. He appeared to be drawing himself up a bit to come off as tall or something. "I'm listening." he responded simply, though didn't appear to be backing down. "This better be good..."

"Um..." Oskar spoke up now. "If I may... good sir." Skipper's eyes immediately shifted to the Komet, glaring at him, causing Oskar's lips to close as quickly as they'd opened.

"Sir? Do I look like a superior officer to you? I was asking Rush!" He indicated, looking back at Rush again, his tone still sharp. "Don't speak... yet." Skipper stated, glancing briefly at Oskar. Oskar swallowed hard, and backed away slightly, but had no intention of going anywhere until Skipper heard him out. "So..." Skipper turned his attention back to Rush. "I was around when those murderers attacked... not in the air but fighting on the ground." he informed his fellow Corsair. "What's going on here?"

Finn - Tags: Aeris, Streak, Lightning, Spray, Doc, Aero (that's a lot of tags XD)

Finn watched the exchange between Lightning and Doc, and suddenly recognized Lightning as the friend of Mater. That's why he looked so familiar! He was the last target in the Allinol scandal! "So... you couldn't risk blowing your cover... but are you really that important to them?" he asked now. "Just WHAT was at the conference? Anything you can tell that might explain this attack? Our files indicated that attack was similar to this one... but there were a few differences... namely more cars who had reason to work with each other were involved. This one... seemed completely random. Cars who have no common ideological background suddenly banding together. I'd appreciate any information you could share with me that would be relevant to our current investigation."

He turned to address Aero, who had wandered up to their increasingly growing group. "Police business, ma'am." he informed her, being vague once again. "We're trying to get to the bottom of this attack..." He paused as he saw a creature that could only be described as a dragon start to vigorously... lick... Lightning's hood. "Er... what is... going on?" the agent inquired, utterly confused now. He knew of dragons' existence from files, but never... never thought he'd see one up close. They were extremely rare after all, but deemed not a threat by CHROME, or MI6 for that matter. On top of that... his path was crossing with Lightning McQueen once again... and now apparently... the Hudson Hornet...

Blade - Tags: Otter

"That was... unexpected, and... nice." Blade confessed here. "I didn't think Dusty had it in him. Still... can't say I blame him... he's gotta be torn up about this..." Turning towards Otter now, he spoke again. "Say... you want me to get you a can of oil, or anything? I know for me at least it'd help get my mind straight. Looks like there's plenty of rescue workers around, so I'm sure I'd just be getting in their way... maybe... maybe I can tell you a bit more about myself too..." Blade trailed off here, wondering if he was truly ready for that or not.

Dusty - Tags: Shadow

Dusty blinked his eyes open when he heard Shadow's voice nearby, his heart leaping as he didn't realize she was that close! "Whoa! Sh-Shadow!" he stammered, looking over at her. "Really? You think it was brave? Well... I... I felt like I had to say SOMETHING! I mean... everyone came here to see me today so... I just... I couldn't let them go with nothing after all. I had to show them support..." He trailed off as she said he made a good leader... and thought about this. A leader? Was he really... a leader? He'd never really seen himself as such... sure he loved taking initiative but that was just... something he had to do sometimes.

"Huh... I never... I never saw myself as a leader... but... thanks. I guess I just... I dunno... had to... had to say something." he concluded now, repeating himself as he offered her a smile. Suddenly, he gasped, and tensed up as his vision suddenly blurred... and he was... no longer standing in Propwash Junction! To Shadow, it just looked as if he were staring off into the distance with surprise at something, but to Dusty, he was seeing... blue... lots and lots of blue...

He was on a rocky path somewhere... but it didn't look like any place he'd ever been... it didn't look like any place on Earth at all in fact! Unless... it was the future? Or... some other place entirely? Looking around, he was surrounded by... tall pinnacles of... an odd material. They looked like black mushrooms as they blossomed at the top into flat mesas with... were those... buildings on top? "Uh... hello?" he asked, looking around him, but seeing no sign of visible life... what was going on here? Where was he?

Turning around, he could see the path headed downward into what looked like a... town of sorts. Or a village maybe, it was hard to tell. "Hello Dusty..." He gasped, and whirled around to face the speaker, startled out of his mind to see a... vintage looking car standing there, smiling at him. His voice was warm yet... eerie as well... cold... like... someone who knew you but that you didn't care to get to know better. The vintage kept smiling in a way that creeped Dusty out, and made him wish he wasn't here right now. It sent daggers of ice through his heart, and he shuddered as he tried to control himself.

"Who... who are you?" he asked, gulping.

Instead of answering him though, the car looked around him. "Do you see? Do you see what you'll become?" As he spoke those words, Dusty was wrenched back to reality, breathing heavily as he suddenly saw Shadow standing before him. "What... where... where am I?" he gasped, looking around. "Propwash? I'm back... home?" he looked right at Shadow. "Did you... did you experience anything strange just now?" he asked, his voice bordering on frantic as he tried to get his breathing under control. He appeared absolutely panicked, as if he'd just seen ghosts or something...

{And the mystery deepens... You're killing me here, Welkin... too bad it's not a book which you can continue reading quickly, but rather a roleplay in which literally anything can happen!}

Rush - Tags: Skipper, Oskar

Rush stood a little taller on his landing gear, "He protected our town without hesitation. He's done nothing wrong. No more than you and I. In fact, when I fled the scene, Oskar continued to stay and fight for our side." He began to feel confident in his words, his voice growing stronger as he spoke. "He's no more an enemy than those that were... were killed in our squadron." Those words stung, even to himself, but he hoped to hit the nail on the head with that single statement.

Otter - Tags: Blade

"That sounds like a good plan," Otter agreed. He sensed the hesitation in Blade's voice, and was quick to comfort. "You don't have to tell me anything you don't feel comfortable telling," he said quickly. "But at the same time, if there's anything you need to say, feel inclined to say it. I promise you your secret's safe with me." The F-18 felt helpless as to where they were going to go, not knowing the town. Although a guide dog was excellent at guiding him in places he knew well, they weren't so helpful when even he had no idea where anything was. A GPS could only help one get so far, and Propwash Junction was still very new on the map.

((Yep!))

Doc - Lightning, Spray, Aero, Aeris, Streak, Finn

Doc looked back at Finn and the black plane both. "The FBI had me recruited because I saw at least one of the attackers. Unfortunately, my memories of the attack are still fuzzy, but what I do recall is a car that looked like he was from the early 1930's, or maybe even earlier. The FBI investigator said that one of the cars there was researching something that would throw our perception of how we came to be out the window, but he couldn't tell me anymore than that." Doc replied. "That's all I really know at the moment. My mission here was to try and gain any information that could relate to the attack I was in. I didn't exactly get out unharmed from that, but the FBI was able to repair the damage I suffered." 'Mostly...' He added to himself. The scar on his Hornet symbol on his rear could not be fixed, no matter what they did

He then looked back at Lightning and saw what was an odd creature...licking...the red racecar. He became tense, but attacking didn't seem like a good idea. Doc wasn't sure of what to make of the scene. "Um...what is that thing?"

Shinn - Skipper, Rush, Oskar

Shinn noticed Dusty seemed to blank out for a moment before he regained himself. What was going on with the firefighter? This was not looking good. For some reason, he was feeling like a bad feeling was coming on. Looking over, he saw what looked like a Komet and two Corsairs talking. He taxied over, just in time to hear the one with the number seven on him speak.

"So, do you know what happened here?" Shinn asked as he looked at the small German plane. He wanted answers and had a feeling the Komet could give them to him.

Shadow Carlisle Tags: Dusty

Shadow watched the plane with concern as he seemingly. ..... blanked out. She frowned, calling his name but getting no response. What was going on? She looked around slightly, before Dusty came round. She stared at him a moment, unsure as to what he was talking about. "Um..... no.... i... i didn't see anything..." She said here, though saw he was trying to calm down. "Hey uh.... it's ok! Your safe! Your back home! Your friends are here....." Shadow stated, watching him with more concern. "Your gonna be ok....." She said here, but looking away toward the other groups now aswell. Between the fight Finn was having, finding his son, the dragon..... licking Lightning McQueen and the several hundred planes that seemed to be occupying the area, Shadow was beginning to get overwhelmed. She looked around for any sort of sense, nothing making sense anymore.

"Uh.... it's ok..... I'm here...." She said to Dusty again, looking to him and giving him a smile, despite her own panicking. She remained a calm exterior and thought of a way to calm the plane down. "It was.... a vision perhaps? It's fine, if it is. It's just your mind has taken in so much today! Maybe you need rest"

[Titanic X 21]

Spray - Finn, Aeris, Streak, Lightning, Doc

Spray looked over at Dusty, his ailerons suddenly twitching, a bad feeling surfacing in his stomach. "Dusty?" he asked, worried.

Rosalie Redwood | Tags: Carylanne

The older car casually flicked one of her side mirrors in what appeared to be amusement. "We were attacked by a random group for seemingly no reason. Most of the casualties are from their side, fortunately for us." She snorted slightly as she remembered the attackers bolting off like startled chickens when they realized they were losing.

Aeris McMissile | Tags: Finn, Doc, Lightning, Streak, Aero, Spray

Aeris had been quiet for a while now, mostly because he had no idea what was going on anymore and was trying to process what the heck just happened. It seemed like everyone had settled down again, except for Finn scolding Doc as if the Hornet were a five year old. The small car found it hilarious that the mighty 'Fabulous Hudson Hornet' was being scolded of all things. He gave Streak an odd look as the dragon licked Lightning.

"That's Streak... he's a... dragon," the smaller Martin stated as Doc asked what Streak was.

[adelphi prime.]

Streak - Tags: Doc, Lightning, Aeris, Sorta Aero and Finn

"Oh come on," Streak huffed, seeing that his licking was not waking the fainted car. "You're not bleeding. You're not in pain. Fainting is such a stupid thing to do at the moment." Leaning down close to the racecar, he shouted, "YOU CAN WAKE UP NOW SLEEPING BEAUTY!!!" He was about to say more when his ears flicked backwards in response to hearing his name. Turning his head in the direction of the sound, he saw that the Hornet and the small young car were talking about him. He turned around and walked up to Aeris, slapping Lightning lightly with the fan of his tail as he did so. Towering above both cars, he grinned in a friendly way, "Yeah, I'm a dragon all right. Nice to meet you."

[ZAFTPrime]

Doc - Streak, Aeris, Aero, Finn, Spray, Lightning

Doc blinked in surprise at the creature talking to him. Apparently it-no, he-was called a dragon, whatever that was. "Okay..." He trailed off, still unsure of what to make of this. While he was tense, he figured the thing couldn't be much of a threat. Looking around, he was unable to see anyone else who looked to be an attacker. Only then did he finally relax somewhat.

"So, were there any survivors from the attackers?" Doc asked, needing to know more. "I didn't see any when I came in." He hoped Finn would give him some sort of answer. The more information, the better, he figured.

Looking back at Aeris, Doc gave the smaller car a look that didn't look too pleased with being laughed at. But, he did deserve to get scolded, considering how he hid himself from Finn at first. So it wasn't unwarranted.

[adelphi prime.]

Streak - Tags: Doc, Aeris, Sorta Finn and Lightning

"Are you kidding me?" Streak nearly shouted, "Are there any survivers? Tons! All of us here are, and most others are, well... we got them to saftey as quickly as we could." He puffed out his chest in some pride, knowing that for once he'd used his skills in battle for a real cause. He narrowed his eyes, however, at the Hornet. Something about the Hornet seemed... off... "How did you not see any?" He spred one wing towards where a large group was gathered, getting assistance with wounds. "For their attack, not many casualties marred us." He kept having to remind himself that most cars wouldn't die later of wounds as dragons would in the war he had known. Magical qualities of attacks would sometimes seep into a dragon, killing them in a way that might look like poison but left no trace of it being so... except for the original wound inflicted, of course.
