1x1 with Yoji Toto

[MCHNGRL]

Aurum finished his drink, standing up from the bar. He threw one more glance at the girl, then realized it. She must be his target. Aurum quickly headed out of the bar, putting on his hood. Just as he wanted to reach the car, he felt a little drop on his hand. Oh no, oh no no no no, not here. Why must it be raining right now. Aurum got in the car as fast as he could, starting the engine and stepping on the gas. He could use this as an excuse to flee from the other assassin.

Aurum could see the glowing aura emitting from him, just entering the first stage of weredragon transformation. It always hurt when he changed, when he turned into a monster. Aurum never liked it, he wished he was never born as a weredragon. He ignored the pain and drove as fast as he could to the forest, where no one could see him.

Aliza tilted her head to the side as she watched the other leave. She must have been recognized, of course he had her as a case as well. She briskly got up and followed him as best as she could. She was led to the forest and that was where she lost him. She groaned as she pulled out a flashlight to shine around the dark forest, periodically looking over her shoulder to check for the strange figures that she had seen at the bar. Where was this man? She huffed as she jumped over small creeks and roots to go off and find her target. She tried her best to cover herself with the leaves to keep the pouring rain off of her as much as she could. Her eyes flickered around, looking for any signs of any other moving life form around. She had only found a couple of small creatures so far, where could this man be?

Aurum stumbled out of the car after pulling up in the middle of a path that leads into the forest. He felt the raging pain spreading over his body. Aurum held onto the trees to keep his balance, walking from tree to tree, swallowed into the mass of trees that surrounded him. He fell to the ground after slipping on the wet leaves that covered the forest ground. In a bright flash Aurum suddenly turned into a beastly looking creature, teal scales scattered across its body, bright golden markings running across the sides of the dragon and a few on its face. His vibrant red eyes glowed in the dark humid forest, blinking when raindrops hit his snout. Aurum started panicking, letting out distressed growls. Maybe he could take care of the girl here, but that could be very hard in his current state. He was a tad too big to fight in a forest, double his normal height.

Aurum could hear every sound the forest made, the rain tapping on the leaves, the little creatures tapping their little feet on the ground, he could even hear the ants walking under him through tunnels. But something else caught his attention. Footsteps heavier than the critters who resided in this forest approached Aurum. It must be the girl, she definitely saw the flashing light when Aurum transformed. He took a big breath, fumes of hot breath escaping his mouth as he exhaled. He started following the sound of footsteps, smoothly passing the dense trees.

As Aliza surveyed the forest before her she say a bright light in the distance and turned to look at it. Weird, what could possibly be making such a bright light in the middle of the forest. It must be Arum, but it couldn’t be possible that he had some sort of machine in the middle of the forest to create such light. She grabbed her bow from its hiding place and headed toward the light, very puzzled at what was going on. The only other thought in her mind was the possibility that he was a weredragon, a mighty beast that was hated all throughout the land. She didn’t understand quite why, she had always found them quite fascinating but others didn’t. She huffed as she walked briskly towards it, doubting that he was in fact a weredragon as they had been run out a while back. She supposed that he could have kept it hidden for quite some time, but with all the rain they had been having lately that wasn’t too probably. Besides, someone in her gang must have known that he was such a mighty specimen and certainly would have told her in the file they had on him. As she got closer to the light she heard the thundering footsteps and knew right then and there that she was in some boiling hot water. She climbed up into the trees and hid in a pile of leaves, being as silent as she could and waiting for the creature to come into her view.

As she saw him draw near she placed an arrow in its correct slot and began shooting at the beast. Aiming for in between its scales to puncture the skin as they would have just bounced off if it had just hit the beasts scales. Even though she was excellent at her trade, this was going to be a rather unfair match and could possibly result in her death. Suddenly a loud noise behind her startled her quite a bit and she slipped from her hiding place and dangled right above the fire of the beast. She used her core strength to swing back up just in the nick of time, only to be face to face with one of the unfamiliar men from earlier. She grunted as she pulled out her sword to focus on battling him, as more and more of the masked figures seemed to pour out from their hiding places all throughout the forest. Oh dear this wouldn’t end well.

Aurum heard the soft whistling of arrows shooting through the air, lunging out of their way. Some bounced off his scales, but one managed to bury itself in Aurum's hind leg. He let out a pained growl, trying to shake the arrow off. It hurt, but he had to go along with it. But just as he wanted to sprint to wherever the arrows came from, he stopped himself in an instant as he watched the commotion happening. Aurum looked around as more and more masked figures came out of their hiding places. This was bad, really bad. Aurum was too vulnerable in his dragon form, his instincts could kick in any moment. He felt frustrated, panicked, a little scared, but despite all that, Aurum still lunged into battle. He whacked some figures with his tail, crashing them into trees. Aurum slashed his talons at whoever dared to get close, a low hiss escaping his mouth. One of the figures jumped onto his back from above, trying to stab Aurum in the back with a dagger. The teal dragon furiously shook himself, rolling on the ground to get the masked figure off. Aurum got more and more frustrated, becoming more feral with every second.

(hey no worries!)

Aliza huffed as she fought off the masked creatures that seemed to be pouring out of their hiding places in the dense forest. Besides the rain didn’t make this situation any better as it would make for an easy slip off of the branches. She fended off the ones nearer to her and shot the ones that were getting closer to Aurum. Aurum was her target, not any of theirs so she was willing to help fight the ones getting nearer to him as best as she could. She heard a branch snap behind her and swiveled around sword in hand and caught the blade that was coming down towards her. She managed to fight him off, but the others would overpower her soon. However, this came faster than she had expected. A small silver dart made its way onto the back of her neck and plunged in, releasing a serum to knock her out for a while. Her eyes widened as she felt it and began to loose consciousness, resulting in her falling out of the tree and onto the cold hard ground. Soon the masked figures picked her up and off of the ground to carry her back to their boss.

Aurum roared in anger as he saw them take away his prey. He leapt towards his target, talons grasping at the masked figures who stole his prey. Aurum crashed against a tree and it fell down, almost smushing a few creatures as it made its way onto the ground. He wildly shook his head, but just as he wanted to go back to running after the figures who took his target, a silver tranquillizer dart sunk into his flesh. He suddenly felt all drowsy and tired, his legs starting to feel numb. The arrow that nestled between his scales already made him so tired so he fell asleep rather quickly. His massive teal body fell to the ground, making a loud "thud". Aurum's eyelids slowly draped over his tired red eyes. The last thing he saw was the target before everything went black.

Aliza and Aurum were dragged off into an undisclosed warehouse and were locked into a cell together. The cell was cold and damp and the ground was freezing cold. They were being kept there while the masked figures were creating a plan to attack the mafia groups that they were apart of. There were also other people from their respected mafia groups locked up as well, but these two were the ones their boss were looking for the most. As the two were very dangerous to their whole plan that they were busy brewing while Aliza was waking up. She woke up with a large headache and a achy back and limbs. She blinked a few times to adjust to the dim light that made her situation seem even more bleary. She shivered as the cold draft blew through the cell as she looked around to analyze the situation she was in. She looked over to see the slumped Aurum and backed away from him slowly as he could still be dangerous towards her.

[MCHNGRL]

Aurum fluttered his eyes open, drowsy eyes unconsciously staring at the ceiling. He was back in his human form. Aurum blinked a few times before he remembered everything, frantically trying to stand up but failing miserably. The arrow wound in his leg was stinging painfully, it must be infected. Aurum looked around, the first thing he noticed was the masked man on the other side of the bars. He tried staying calm, taking deep breaths. Aurum saw something move in the corner of his eye, swiftly turning his head to the person next to him. He looked at her from tip to toe, examining any threatening movement. Aurum turned to the masked figures again, paying no second of attention more to the other person. He observed the masked figures, looked around the cell, trying to find any exit. He growled angrily, an overwhelmingly furious gaze lingered in his eyes.

Aliza blinked a couple of times to adjust to the darkness of the cell. She felt her heart beat in her chest as she observed the masked figures pacing back and forth in front of their cell. It was as if they were deciding what to do with the two of them, and whatever it was certainly couldn’t be good. The largest question in her head was about who these people could possibly be. She looked back over at the angry male and frowned slightly as she observed his injured state, certainly they couldn’t keep him like that. She crawled over to the guards and began questioning them about meals and possible healing equipment for her and the others injuries. She had a feeling that if she wanted to escape alive, she would have to be in the best shape she could be and the other must be as well. Survival was important, and certainly he would have to work with her to escape. She knew she would help him escape, as she didn’t want the others to take down her target for her. Besides, if one of them were killed certainly she would be killed as well and she didn’t want her life to end so soon.
