The Misadventures of Charlie Bombay

inkstep • 29 April 2012 at 2:43 PM

Pixle shook her head, running off into the cover of the rock spires, the dragon followed after her staticy form. "C'mon" she muttered, tripping and tumbling down the rocky hill side, the dragon she had created shot into the air, sending sparks flying, the mother dragon soared after the static blue one.
@swimforlife hi there!

@inkstep
Well, Howdy!

Looking over his shoulder, Charlie watched the golden and static dragons disappear down the crocky outcropping. Gingerly, he stepped across the branches of the nest. Placing his hands around the egg, Charlie lifted it up. It was heavier than he expected, it caused him to stumble as he stepped foward. The egg rolled across the surface of the rock. He had expected it to crack open, however it proved to be strong a steel. After catching up to the egg, he discovered a grove that ran around the egg. Digging his nail under the curve, he disovered the egg wasn't really an egg. It was some sort of metal safe. He wondered what Brended hid deeped in the heart of the jungle. With any luck, it would be a booby trap.

Pixle continued to run, the dragon following after her, after she got far enough away, she dove behind a rock, the static dragon landed with a screech, spreading it's wings and pretending to show off for the female.
@swimforlife wow that was short

@inkstep Showing off XD

'Pixle!' Charlie shouted, only after realzing she probably could not hear his voice. Leaving the egg out in the open would be a mistake. He tipped the egg on its side and rolled it into the underbrush. Pressing his back against the cliff, he slowly inched toward Pixle and the two dragons. The electric blue dragon flared its wings in some sort of mating ritual. Charlie snickered and inched closer.

Cringing a bit, the girl continued to move her hands and manipulate the creature "Not now" she hissed oner her breath, her eyes darting over to Charlie. A snap filled the air as her dragon took off, pressing her hands into the ground, and giving it a temporary mind of it's own, to lead the mother far off. "Did you find the girl?" she asked, panting as she walked over to Charlie.
@swimforlife X3

@inkstep

Shaking his head, Charlie replied, 'No girl, but a golden egg. It's got a notch running it perimeter, so I think we need to open it. Nice work by the way. What about your heart? That was alot of energy!' Charlie began to strid toward the bush where he hid the egg. He rolled it out into the sunlight. 'Whatta ya think? Some sort of alien safe?'

inkstep • 29 April 2012 at 3:14 PM

She nodded slightly, swaying a bit as she followed after him, grinning a bit as she saw the egg "pretty neat, why not try this?" she dropped to her knees, pressing two fingers against the egg, static wrapping around it "should we try to crack it open before she gets back?" she asked, looking up at Charlie as the egg quivered

@inkstep No idead, for whats inside the egg... Help?

Charlie watched closely as the static hummed. The egg hovered for a breif moment as the tentcale of electricity tangled around the gloden oval.

LAAAAMMMMMEEEE

inkstep • 29 April 2012 at 3:32 PM

@swimforlife the girl! lololol XD

Focusing most of her energy, the blue static slipped up under the egg's crack, splitting it open from the inside, golden shards flying in all directions

Deleted • 29 April 2012 at 6:25 PM

@inkstep That would be too easy, but... here goes nothing^^

Charlie ducked as a large shard of the egg's shell rocketed through the air. Inside the egg was a silken film that was tighlty wrapped around the girl. Her eyes were locked open, the flittered from Charlie, then to Pixle. She seemed to be paralyzed, nothing but her eyes could move.

'Pixle,' Charlie whispered. 'We did it! But now we just have to get back alive.' Charlie reached his hand to remove the silk, but a gut feeling prevented him from doing so.

inkstep • 29 April 2012 at 6:37 PM

@swimforlife haha, speaking of easy, it's so easy for someone to die ;n; my old biking teacher/trainer/the nicest man in our neighborhood, he wasnt even 65 (I don't think, he certainly didn't look it) just passed away, and I SAW HIM THIS MORNING, he passed away a few hours ago apparently ;n;

She nodded, trying to think. "What about the bird? Think he would carry her? we could get back to where we started from, and wait there?" she looked over at him and shrugged "Just a suggestion though" Picking up a stick, she poked the girl with a stick, laughing a bit "She's so pathetic, really"

Deleted • 29 April 2012 at 6:41 PM

@inkstep Oh my goodness. I am sooooo sorry, please accept my condolences. Dead people scare me...

'Patheic doesn't quite cut it.' Charlie replied. The girl had to have been surgically enhanced, no one could possibly be proportioned that way. Her large blue eyes looked innocently at the two. The simple emotions she expressed reminded Charlie of a young child. 'The bird should be able to carry her, no problem. I'm afraid to touch that stuff,' he said, gesturing to the silvery silk that she was entwinded in. 'It looks...so pristine, and when are things on Klaxion pristine?'

inkstep • 29 April 2012 at 6:45 PM

@swimforlife haha, I love dead people/things, but it's still pretty upsetting ='/

"Good point" she flicked her hand, the long static whip appearing and spiking into the air, it ended high above the forest in a loud crack, just moments later the bird came, screaming through the air, and landed with a 'thunt' at their side "We should hurry though...not sure when that stupid dragon will be back" she muttered, wrapping the whip around the girl and swinging her up onto the bird "heh, I forgot I could use the magnetics too..." she shrugged, climbing onto the large creature, grinning down at Charlie

Deleted • 29 April 2012 at 7:10 PM

@inkstep
Dead animals, and ghost/spirits don't bother me. Just people in caskets!

Charlie looked up at Pixle and nodded. 'Pixle-Electormagnetic!' He replied with a grin. He hoisted himsefl onto the bird's back, sandwiching himsefl between Pixle and the girl. 'How many surgeries do you think she needed to get a body like that?' Charlie asked, with a laugh. The bird screed, and launched itself into the air.

inkstep • 29 April 2012 at 7:13 PM

@swimforlife haha, Alright, people in caskets are a bit weird, but caskets are actually really fun to sleep in XD

She rolled her eyes, grinning a bit. "Who knows" she poked the girl again, having to tilt her head and slant her body to look her in the eye. "I have no clue what he sees in her, but whatever I guess!" she shrugged, sitting back up and holding onto the bird as it headed back to where they had started

Deleted • 29 April 2012 at 7:20 PM

@inkstep That doesn;t surpise me that you've slept in a casket. Dang! One more thing that makes you reaaaaalllly interesting! --Jealous--

With every beat of the birds wings, Charlie and Pixle came closer to where they began. 'How do we know...' The bird flew into an invisible wall. A force field. The metal of the bird's head was smashed in, it had recived most of the shock. Charlie prayed the jolt hadn't messed with Pixle's heart. 'Pix, you okay up there.' The girl extended a hand an tapped at Charlie's elbow. Her eyes nervously flitted back and forth.

inkstep • 29 April 2012 at 7:24 PM

@swimforlife and reeeeeeeally creepy XD haha

She nodded, breathing normally "I'm fine..." Glancing at the girl as she poked Charlie, Pixle climbed to the bird's head, he was stuck to the force field. "Crud" she muttered, sliding down onto his beak and looking him dead in the eye, trying tos ee if he was even alive anymore

Deleted • 30 April 2012 at 5:34 PM

@inkstep How is the coffin sleeping-homestuckloving-stundouble-aries doing? When I was leaving swim practice I saw a 6 year old version of Charlie! He was sooooo cute! He had sandy blonde hair and huge blue eyes. The weird part was, he was wearing a black swim trunks that had red stars and swishy-line-things. Creepy, huh?

The bird let out a soft squall. 'You're alright buddy,' Charlie replied softly, stroking its neck. They hung thirty feet in the air. 'How do you reckon we get down?' Charlie asked, scanning for a tree of ledge they could jump onto. 'Its hope less...wait a second!' Charlie exclaimed, recalling his powers. Manipulation of the water was still new to him. He had only created small orbs, no large than a base ball.

Locking his shoulders, Charlie extended his hand and squinted. Nothing happened. He let his mind become a wave, writhing with the power of the sea. At first, a thin wisp of water vapor fizzled from his fingers. Closing his eyes completely, he conjured a blanket of water. It touched the ground completeing a perfect arc. 'How's that for a water slide?' he said jokingly. A wave of pain shook Charlie's strong frame. Every muscle, bone and tendon throbbed.

inkstep • 30 April 2012 at 5:38 PM

@Swimforlife I'm actually a Gemini! XD haha he sounds adorkable! and creepy >.> interesting though! you should have gotten a picture!!!!

She looked up from the bird and giggled a bit "Alright that's smart!" she giggled, pressing her forehead to the bird's, it's large glowing eyes faded with the sound of a powering down machine, sparks filled the air and disipated quickly "Thank you "she muttered, still smiling and diving back off of the bird's beak, snapping through the static left in the air and landing with a soft thud "Hurry up!" she called up to him, grinning

Deleted • 30 April 2012 at 5:51 PM

@inkstep I know, but I was dripping wet and my phone was in the locker room. I is a derp! April 17=Gemini!

Charlie rubbed his shoulder, the tension seemed to escalate. Groaning, he lowered himself onto the water-slide. In less the 10 seconds, he stood next to Pixle. 'Gawd!' he excalimed, 'Do you feel tense after you create elctromagnetic currents?' he asked, rolling his neck side to side. Pondering for a moment, he thought he was missing something. The girl! He looked up at the bird, expecting her to be frozen in her silk caccoon. She was gone, leaving no trace of her future whereabouts. 'Pixle!' He hissed, pointing to the bird's empty back.

inkstep • 30 April 2012 at 6:03 PM

@swimforlife haha that sucks

"hmm? no" she shrugged, rubbing her shoulder a bit, looking up at where the bird had been, she rolled her eyes "great" she muttered "I'm blaming brendan" Sighing a bit, she leaned against the invisible wall. "Where could she have gone off to?"

Deleted • 30 April 2012 at 8:43 PM

@inkstep

Glancing up to the sky, Charlie wondered where she would have gone. Suddenly, a knife pressed agaist his throat.

'Think you're getting off easy, Bombay?' Hissed the girl. 'I will kill you if I have to, you and Pixle shall die. Here. With my knife.' She spat out every word like it was posion. 'This ends today, my friends! If in self-defence you kill me, Brended will kill you. If the pain tracker doesn't kill you first.' With a few quick steps, she now pressed the blade against Pixle's pale throat. 'Ladies first!'

inkstep • 30 April 2012 at 9:04 PM

@so how was your training thing? XD sore?

"You watch your mistakes you selfish, spoiled brat." she hissed, her eyes glinted, using most of what energy she had left, she quickly sidestepped into a puddle of water from the archway, her eyes flashing white as three strong volts burst through her body, into the knife, and through the girl, paralyzing her, it was a painless process, but not an easy one.

Deleted • 1 May 2012 at 5:57 PM

@inkstep

The scene played out in Pixle's favor. The girl was soon paralyzed once more, nothing but her eyes could move. Massaging his shoulder, Charlie slumped to the ground. The pain ate at each bone in his body. A inky wave of exaustion suddenly shook his existance. 'Pixle, I have to sit down.' Charlie was alreading sitting on the ground. His vision blurred, then doubled. 'Pixle, Pixle. PICKLE!' He muttered somewhat dazed.

inkstep • 1 May 2012 at 6:01 PM

"Hmm?" jerking her foot out of the water, she looked over at him, biting her lip "crap" she muttered, falling to her knees in front of him "What's wrong?" she asked quickly, her hand clamping onto his shoulder, she kept a small spark pulse, hopefully keeping him conscious.
@swimforlife wow I'm bad at drawing eyes XD

Deleted • 1 May 2012 at 6:07 PM

@inkstep I don't think so. At least not in the drawings I've seen.

'Pickle, pickle. Piccolo. Post-war. Pan-fried. Pickle icicle with a cherry on top.' Chalrie rambled on for a few moments before looking into Pixle's red eyes. 'Pickle, why do hams feel fleaeevy?' he asked, eyebrows arched in confusion. A tingle raced up his arms and brought him back to his sences, somewhat. Charlie cracked his knuckle and stood up.

inkstep • 1 May 2012 at 6:12 PM

@swimforlife realiztic eyes, hehe, XD Charlie stop hallucinating
I'm tempted to make her slap him, hahaha

"hmm..." she took a step back as he got up "you alright?" she asked calmly, holding her hand behind her back as she spoke, a few sparks flying off behind her, creating the shape of a paper fan for a moment.

Deleted • 1 May 2012 at 6:18 PM

@inkstep Hahaha fine with me! Just make sure he know's she's Pixle, not Pickle! FAN, hehehe

With a nod and a smile, Charlie spoke, 'Do you feel drained after you create antimatter?' Rudding his temples, Charlie continued to the water arc. 'We should look around for the entrance. It must be around here some where. Force feilds use alot of energy to create. No body is join to synthesize on in the middle of the jungle with out good reason.'

inkstep • 1 May 2012 at 6:23 PM

she nodded, looking up at where the bird had crashed, there was a long crack runnign down the force field screen. " if you can hit that with as much force you can, I'm sure I can fry the circut and we can just break through...." she shrugged, "just a suggestion"
@swimforlife hehe

Deleted • 1 May 2012 at 7:50 PM

@inkstep

'I'm not sure that I can make anymore water... I feel so drained...and helpless.' Charlie sucked in a noisy breath. 'Wait... what if...' Charlie moved his fingers as if he was playing a piano. The already existing water of the arc danced. Now controling the large sheet of water, Charlie thrust it at the hole in the feild. A loud buzzing sound, followed by a shower of sparks disarmed the invisible wall. Feeling light headed, Charlie fell to his knees. 'Almost there.' he said, looking back at Pixle.
