Scivillage

I think elephants in herds tend to be female or minors, so unless they are lesbians... :)

while the elephants seem more interested in finding a way up to Nexus, I make an attempt to swim to the far side of the lake, submarine style.

But where did Dreamwalker go, he disappear in the confusion, I turning around to look back but he is no where to be seen, just then a bird makes what must be the worst landing ever in bird history, Right on the top of the matriarch elephant.
Watching the bird jump around on the Elephant, I get a little jealous, am I no longer top predator. If the elephants had not been there I show the bird who's king of the forest.
 
Squawk!! I draw near to the ground. I desperately try to halt my descent. Although I did manage to slow myself enough to save myself from broken bones, I'd never landed before and found that there was more to it than I thought. I shook my head and tried to get my bearings. Damn this telescopic vision!! It's so hard to try to see everything up close out of the corner of your eye... Soon, I realized that my birdy instincts had homed right in on the matriarch of the herd. I started pecking and clawing and biting as ferociously as I was able. Too bad the matriarch just thought I was the local cleanup bird. She barely even noticed me. The only notice she gave me was to nudge her ear to the side that I might see the huge tick behind her ear.

Hmm, that tick looks kinda tastey. Squawk!! Big, fat, full of blood. *drool*


(Edit: Nice pic, Kunax. Tigers are awesome creatures.)
 
(Where did I go? I´ll show you)

Oh great, an elephant stampede right through the village.
I start running straight at advancing elephants, there was no other place to run to. Before I reached the herd, I saw a bird land on one of the elephants. Now that is unusual. Anyway, as the herd drew closer, I launched myself up onto the head of a smaller elephant and start to jump on some bigger ones...perhaps if I can gain cotrol of the matriarch I can lead the herd away...
 
Talk about Mayhem!!!

Unhooking the glider, i attach myself, as well as a length of rope and a flickblade and take a jump off nex's balcony, gliding over to Dreamwalker.
"hey, take this!!" i said, as i threw the rope and knife down to him. I flew a bit lower to check out this bird attacking the head elephant's ear. What da?
Argh, as i was too low to reach the balcony, i flew over the pond and released my harness as to fall into the pond.

EEIIIWWW, wet tiger......yuk, now i smell like wet cat.
 
After wolfing down the tick, I shake my head furiously. I'm not sure if it's disgust over what I'd just done or in pleasure of the juicy, succulence of that fat tasty tick. Almost as good as a rabbit would be right about now...

Argh! Get ahold of youself, man! I look around trying to figure out something I might do to stop these elephants from rampaging. A shadow passes overhead, It's blue! She finally got that thing flying! I bet I could show her a thing or two about flying once this thing is over. I watch her as she flies over the pond and drops from her harness. I see the hang-glider continue to flow after she's gone. Instead of crashing, it continues in it's flight. It appears as though it were being piloted somehow.

Wait!! Is that a flash of silver? I quickly focus on the flash. Yes, it's him! What's he doing over there? I see the old man/bird perching upon the spire of the old haunted amusement park (anyone remember that? It's from the WellCookedFetus incident. :D) I suddenly realized that this was all a diversion. I couldn't stop these elephants, I'm just a bird. He is the real contest. I have to stop him. I try to fly over, but with my clipped wings, I can barely stay above the level of the elephants and flutter from the back of one to another. Damnit!! I'll never be able to reach the spire! (which happens to be a couple hundred feet high or so... sounds good) What the hell am I supposed to do? The attack upon my flight feathers earlier makes far more sense now. He turned me into a bird, but removed the ability that I required to defeat him.

I look to find the hang glider. I see it still sailing about as though controlled somehow. What is controlling that thing? Did Sexy Blue install a remote control guidance system or is the old man controlling it? I make my way towards the pond where I see Sexy Blue treading water.

I land on the sun-baking rock and start a raucus squawking. She looks confused as well she might. Apparently the babel fish isn't working for some reason. Probably that devilish old man's magic again.

Suddenly, Kunax (who I hadn't seen) lunged out of the water at me. My birdy reflexes launched me out of harm's way, but not before another vicious pain swept through me. I tried looking to see how bad I was wounded, but once more that damned telescopic vision foiled my attempts. I could clearly see blood dripping from me. How much blood does an eagle have? I wonder dazedly.

There is a roar as Kunax smells the blood and knows that my goose is cooked. He can see that I can't fly away and is taking his brutal time about it. Stalking me. Playing with me. Squawk!!!

I flap my wings uselessly, but all that does is cause even more blood to flow from my side. I am too weak to flutter far. I find myself in a field of colorful flowers. Blood on the daisy, blood on the iris. I'm going to die and they're going to end up as slaves to that monster! I see a crysanthemum out of the corner of my eye. That was the flower I gathered for Blue that morning. It was always my favorite flower. Weakly, I grasp the stem with my beak and snap it from it's roots. Blue...
 
(Hey, i could be wrong, maybe romance isn't dead)

I shue kunax away, there's this feeling that this bird is on the same radiowaves as me or something. I dunno, probably the sunbathing getting to me. Still, i wash the blood and hold him. It. Him.

Damn sun.

Another crazy looking bird? Where on earth did that amusement park come from? What da?. Where's that remote???

In the backpack.

On Nex's balcony.



"ALAIN"

He sticks his head out "Yeah?"
"Get my backpack, front pocket, throw it here." Okay, we're going from elephant stampedes to hang-gliding birds, and I WANT SOME ANSWERS. Or blood. Either will suffice.

(No no no. The other bird is perched on the spire of the old haunted amusement park on the far side of town. Full of spooooky ghosts.... I suppose maybe he had another bird controlling the glider though. ;) )
 
After Blue rescued me from Kunax and cleaned me up some, she took off. She looked like she was chasing something. What was it? I turned my telescopic vision towards it. It's... a bird? NO! It's one of those creatures from the cloud. One of the particularly nasty ones with pointy teeth and leering eyes. The bird form is an illusion. Squawk!!!

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kunax looking at me preparing to strike. SQUAWK!!!
 
K, fixed it now.

Running to the amusement park, i heard squawking behind me. Turning, i saw Kunax, about to pounce on Inv.

The bird's Inv. Why did i miss this before???

The tiger, the amusement park, Inv.....what first?????????? Throwing the remote back to Alain (he can handle it) i ran back to save Inv.

"NO KUNAX!, BAD .....TIGER!"
 
not sure entirely what to do with the remote control, , but i still manage to get the hang glider up into the air. i bring it back up to the balcony and look around, trying to find where the bird has gone. It is nowhere to be seen. i take to the sky in the hang glider and search for it. i decide that this isnt going to work and try a different tactic. i land where a subdued kunax lies. through speech and ridiculous pantomime i get across the point to him that i need him to catch and kill a mouse or rabbit for me. He disapears and comes back soon later with a dead rabbit hanging from his jaws. i grab it from him quickly and spend the next minute running away from a very angry tiger. i eventually reach nex's house, i climb upstairs and launch myself off the balcony again, i am gliding around the village with a dead rabbit in my hands. It works, the bird comes out of his hiding spot in the shade of a house and swoops at me.

obviously, i hadn't planned far ahead. i jump out of the hang glider and land on the ground. the parachute continues its flight and hits into the bird, maybe i can claim i amied it for him.... the bird is dazed, but still comes for me. i throw the rabbit into an open window and the bird flies in. i shut the window - hopefully the bird is trapped inside the building
 
I finally managed to get on the back of the matriarch elephant. You get a nice view from up here. But I wonder why the others are running around with the hang glider. Anyway, time to try if I can ride and elephant. I take the rope SexyBlue threw me and manage to get it in under the tusks of the elephant. I grab both ends and pull real hard on them. The animal doesn´t like that, but she gets slower. After some pulling, I manage to get her pointed away from the village. Now I just have to make her stop sometime.
 
Slowly chasing alain around, enjoy and prolonging the hunt before the kill, we reach Nexus house where alain manages to shut him self in before i reach him. Minor set back I think to my self, as I watch him true a window, his trapping on the glider.
Minor set back but not a problem, I grab the door handle in my mouth, turn my head left, the right, nothing happened, I try pulling back and rips the handle clean off.
Choking on the handle I start coughing badly while struggling to get air, finally the handle dislodges it self and out it comes.
Looking back at the door, it's now missing its handle, guess i have to find another way in, those panorama(floor to ceiling sized windows) windows looks like a good alternative.

Inside, alain is out on the balcony getting ready to jump. I crash true the windows and 2 long jump later, I'm almost there, then alain jumps, I follow right behind, to late remembering where i am, for a split second i hang in mid air, then gravity kicks in and with a big splash I land in the pool.



Everybody is to busy to remember Nexus, who's been left alone at the sun bathing rock, there he rests with his back towards the rock blocking his view, he does not see me coming before its to late.

Nexus tries an escape, but with his wings clipped, it is of no use and with a little puff of a paw he tumbles to the ground. This time there is no Sexy Blue, with her special “shue”hehe, if I'm ever confronted by a big cat, i have to remember I just have to shue it. lol teknik to save Nexus. He feigns his dead in an attempt to make me lose interest, but that's not how it works.
Disappointed in my pray already being dead, I poke him a little, the some more, I sniff Nexus when he suddenly comes to live and bites me in the nose, I Jump back with a moan of pain, Nexus returns to playing dead.

Returning with a bloody nose i poking Nexus again he does not move this time, so I grab him with both in my paws and start licking, soon the feather a coming of in droves and with each breath i take a puff of feather comes out, much to my amusement.

(Nexus, disregard last part if its does not fit. I just thought we need more naked birds, hmm and i guess later balled man perhaps :))
 
Oh the indignity. At least my flesh is tough and it's not being ripped from the bones along with the feathers. I let loose with a might SQUAWK!!!! and go kung fu on his ass. I took a little Akkido in my day and have the submission holds down rather well. Even though I have no hands, my clawed feet work just fine. Once I have him pinned, I apply pressure to his carotid artery until he passes out. Hah! That was easy. Just then, I notice that the elephant rampage has changed course and his heading this way. Squawk! With Kunax unconscious, there's no way he can save himself from certain doom. I grab his tail by the beak and begin to tug. A tiger is a heavy beast; but with the strength of desperation, I pull him out of the path of destruction.

I notice Dreamwalker riding the matriarch, desperately trying to gain control. The beast seems crazed as though it were enchanted though. Otherwise, Dreamwalker's skill would most likely have mastered the beast in an instant.

The glint of silver flashes once more in the sky. I turn and see the old man/bird settling once more upon his perch at the haunted amusement park. The hang-glider swoops by and I jump onto it's back. It flies around haphazardly, obviously whoevers in control of this thing doesn't know what they're doing. Damn! I'm never going to get there at this rate!
 
(The baddest bird you'll ever see. ;) :D I had originally considered playing a trick of scale and make myself the size of a house or something. Come swooping in and pick the elephant up and fly away. But I decided that was too easy. If you hadn't brought me into the story as a regular sized bird, I probably would have gone that way.)

(I thought the image of an eagle putting a submission hold on a fully grown tiger to be somewhat amusing. :D)
 
I had a glass of scirum. Thought I heard an elephant in the distance. Must be going mad. More mad than normal. Will see if there is tea at swedishfish's place.
 
Lol, you guys crack me up...
Oi, bruce, quick rerun, there's a evil bird, a good guy that got turned into a brid, and we're fighting the elephants so that we don't end up as servants to the bad guy, who is the bad bird. And Inv wants a female elephant as a companian to his elevator.

Wow. This is heavy. Inv just kicked Kunax's furry butt (i always wanted to say that), chicken leg style. Helping Alian up, i took the remote off him, and flew the glider towards the amusement park. As it glides over the fence, i loose total control, and it lands itself in front of the evil feathered guy. Suddenly, I hear a voice completely invading my head, all of us, from what i can tell.
"Mmah hah haah.....Surviving the elepants was only the first part of the game. Get ready for round two......"
