Deadline: Week 4, story 2
1 sentence summary: Continuing from where the previous story left off, Axotik seeks out an informant who holds information he desires. However, demons always have an agenda, and Lasirus is no different...It's not easy being inconspicuous when your sidekick is a two hundred and fifty foot god in the shape of a lizard, but then again, stealth is not really an important aspect when you have no intention of surprising anyone.
Axotik and Hanzaki Okami were prowling the air fields of Thomas-view airport, or rather what was left of it. When he was a kid, Axotik would come here with his dad to watch the planes take off and land and occasionally get a free ride from one of the friendlier pilots who knew them as regulars. Now however, it lay in ruin, resembling more of an aircraft graveyard. Mangled pieces of fuselage lay strewn across the runway in the same way a murderer would haphazardly dispose of the bodies of his victims.
A blood-curdling scream rang through the night, originating from an enormous bat like creature which slammed down in front of the duo. Its huge claws dug into the concrete with every step, removing shovel sized chunks. A huge club at the tipped off its tailed whipped off the side of the derelict hangers produced a ear shattering gong which shook one to their very soul. The creature proceeded to fold its wings and crouch in front of the duo. Appearances might have caused one to conclude that the state which the airport had been left in was caused by this particular beast, but that would be far from the truth.
"Lasirus, it has been a while has it not?" addressed Axotik to the beast.
"Rider of the amphibia, what brings you to my...humble dwellings"
"You see a great deal above the clouds lasirus, i want information as usual"
"And the payment would be...."
Axotik threw forth a small canister which wailed out a banshee like scream. It rolled and settled in front of lasirus claw with a "thunk".
"Chymera souls, much obliged rider, it is as always a pleasure doing business with you...."
The conversation however was cut short by a battle cry from behind a storage facility. A brooding Chymera wielding a battle axe cleaved right through the structure and came forth.
"Lasirus you traitor, you have allied with the humans"
"I never did say i was an ally to the chymera in the first place now did I"
"You will pay with your life for this betrayal" Letting lose a roar, the chymera charged forth brandishing his weapon in a rather ogre like fashion, making no attempt to evade any incoming blows.
"Remove this fool from my sight and i will give you thrice the amount you bargained for rider" growled Lasirus as she took to the air.
"You make it seem like I really have a choice." Leaping onto his lizard mount, Axotik removed a nodachi, a type of japanese katana made for rending large foes in twain. Before the orc could get within fifty feet of the duo, his torso was separated from his legs. He was dead before he hit the floor with a huge crash, axe flying off into the brush.
"You are most certainly swift in finishing the job rider" mentioned the gargantuan bat as she landed in clear sight now that danger had passed "Your form on the other hand most certainly intrigues"
Axotik had no doubt taken on a rather unique form. Though technically still human looking, he had sprouted a tail and a pair of green bioluminescence horns hovered above his head. An enigmatic tattoo had also colied itself around both his arms, proceeding up his back to his neck.
"You set this up didn't you Lasirus, had someone who wanted you removed so u got me to intervene for a price"
"....As u see fit demon..." mumbled Axotik wearily, dealing with demons meant you always had to be ready for the unexpected even when the deal seemed clean.
"And now...to uphold my end of the bargain...I'm certain that which i am about to tell you...will no doubt...be of great...interest.....listen carefully rider, i am not in the habit of repeating myself unless necessary"
