A madman in the Woods. (ask to join)

Recommended Posts

The serene tranquility of the Great Forest was disrupted by the sound of falling trees; heavy crunching sounds of wood falling and crumbling into dirt and rock. Yet there was no plum of smoke hinting a swarm of Robotnik's machines were behind the devastation of the trees. Down at the ground level a high-pitch sound rings out, followed by the sound of another tree collapsing to the ground. The sound echoes out again and another tree falls to its untimely demise; only following this a loud, shrill, high pitched laugh rang throughout the forest.

 

"KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKUKUKUKUUUUUUUUUUUU!! KUUUUUUKUKUKUUUUU!! I'M BACK BABY!!"

The owner of the voice was a tall, gangling being wearing a black body-suit of some sort of cloth or leather-like material, topped with a white face mask lacking expression that covered most of the front of its face while the back of the head was covered by a hood that was attached to the bodysuit and fused into the mask. A flowing charcoal grey trench coat flapped in the wind looking torn in places. Lastly two large hands of metal with claws that were elongated to a foot and half and razor sharp, lightly humming and vibrating with high-frequency energy. The being's beady black eyes stared into nothing surrounded by red instead of the usual white of an eyeball. Lowering its claws the being with a comedic high-pitched voice muttered to himself.

"Wait, what am I back from? I mean, I've been here before, right, or do I just think I have? Mmmm deja vu is a cruel, cruel mistress...." Suddenly chipper as a coffee addict having sampled their favorite brew he cackled with glee. "KUKUKUU! Oh well who cares back to deforestation for life!" Leaning back he swings both arms, the five vibrating claws on each mechanical hand tearing through tree bark as if it was butter. In seconds the tree topples and joins the ten others the odd creature had already felled.

"Too bad I don't have a playmate, but I guess dead wood will do! Unless.... unlesssssssss!" Seeming to strain for thought, he shrinks down the claws on his left hand and snaps two claws "I got it!! I'll start a fire and burn the whole place down! That way I won't be cold tonight!! Now where can I get the fixings for an inferno?! KUKUKUKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!"

"You there!" called a powerful voice from behind the maniac on a rampage. Mynt the Echidna stood 30 yards away with a unit of Swatbots and Ingrid the Rabbit behind her. There was trees and debris everywhere, it was hard to believe that much damage was caused by such a ridiculous insect. "Robotnik had not ordered this attack, scum. Retreat immediately and report to his excellency for debriefing and punishment!" she ordered, her gun drawn and aimed at Siiythe.

The witch Ingrid held her book of witchcraft open and at the ready behind her, Mynt knew if this one wanted a fight, she had to make sure he didn't reach the rabbit lest he rip through her like butter. That girl proved more a nuisance than help in the field. "On your guard, sorceress," she said.

Upon hearing the voice; Siiythe whirls and his beady black eyes widen a tick. "VISITORS?! At last! I've been traversing forever without seeing a visitor! Hallelujah!" He then began to dance a simple jig, cackling madly as he seemed elated by the 'company' that came his way.

In response to the mad-thing's lack of reciprocating Mynt's demands the Swatbots step forward and aim their arm cannons; one of them speaking in it's monotone voice. "Halt! You are ordered to cease and surrender! Any further disobedience will be met with force."

Slowing his 'happy dance' Siiythe cocked his head a weird 'snapping' sound is heard as if he popped a bone joint. "Cease and surrender? Why? I'm just dancing in joy? How dare you interrupt my happiness!"

"Do you surrender or do we open fire?"

Rolling his eyes, Siiythe throws up his arms. "Well I'm not stoppin' so SHOOT ME TIN-MEN!"

That was all the Swatbots needed and opened fire, their lasers set for medium-stun hit Siiythe's body all over; repeatedly as he jerked and made rather hammy, death sounds before falling to the ground in a heap. Ceasing their fire, the robots lower their arms, with the commander type turning its head toward Mynt. "Target neutralized general-."

Suddenly Siiythe leap to his feet, popping his joints as he sighs in an annoyed manner. "It would seem... Robotnik forgot how it's supposed to go..." Gone was the rather laugh-y, happy, and comedic tone, instead the creature spoke normally. Yet his tone grew serious and somehow that made it sound worse. "He leaves me alone..."

With a flick of his wrists his claws extend out again, serrate and begin to vibrate; in two motions; a rush and swinging spin, he claws all the Swatbots into pieces. Their parts fling across the area, or rain down in  a shower of debris.

When Siiythe looks up his eyes on the Echidna and Rabbit; his eyes were glowing pure red with only the smallest hint of his black pupils glaring at them. "N' I don't slaughter all his toys n' fleshy mooks for hire! KUKUKUKUUUUUU!! LET'S DANCE FOLKS!!" He cackles into the air, his lithe body moving into a ready position to strike.

"Charming display," Mynt yawned, a hand on her hip, her expression conveying how little the show affected her. The witch on the other hand seemed to be shaking. Such a weakling. "Robotnik made me aware of your abilities and equipment. If I am to bring you back, it may have to be in pieces..." snapping her fingers, Ingrid the rabbit began chanting the magical words needed to cast her spell. "So be it."

With that, a bolt of lightning struck the insane experiment in the shoulder, his entire arm ripping off and out of his socket in an instant. The Echidna charged ahead, grinning her trademark wicked grin with the glee of starting a battle anf the sight of blood, she drew her knife and took a wide swing toward another limb, hoping to take another one off and immobilize the freak. The sorceress took time to charge her next attack, already her eyes glowed and her mouth moved as she muttered the words needed to cast another spell.

The lightning bolt that took off Siiythe's arm made him look at the stump and make a comical display of shock. "AAAHH! MY ARM!! I need that arm to maim, kill and hold my stamp collection book!.... If I had one." His tone switched from shock to casual as he spotted Mynt aiming to maim his other limb. He twists his lanky frame, dodging her blow and simply sticks a foot out in hopes of tripping her. "C'mon toots if you wanted a dance why didn't you ask?" 

Spying the rabbit attempting another spell he simply wags a finger her way. "Hey, hey!" He calls trying to get her attention; "Do you know any music magic? I feel the need to dance to "Take on Me!" Again his voice went to casually hammy, as if the danger he was in was, minuscule to him.

The trip proved too quick, forcing Mynt into a hopping fit to regain her balance. Scowling, she rushed up from behind him as he yelled at Ingrid and placed her blaster pistol behind his skull. "Now, you will come with me lest I blow your brains out right this instant!" Mynt eyed Ingrid as she placed the menace in a chokehold with the gun still pressed on the back of his skull. Ingrid's next spell was ready.

With the chokehold and blaster put to the back of his head, Siiythe raised his arm in surrender. "I SURRENDER I SURRENDER! ... Okay I don't surrender!" The mad thing then hefts his body and wraps his legsaround Mynt's waist, heaving so he rolled forward, taking her with him in a crude 'roll around'. Once they completed a full roll rotation, Siiythe used the momentum to launch himself out of Mynt's grasp. His lanky frame sling-shots into the tree, landing feet first, he catapults himself back towards Ingrid. After a quick somersault in which he snags his dismembered arm off the ground; he lands perfectly in front of the rabbit.

"Hey toots!" He points his limply hanging dismembered arm at her as if it was a weapon. "Stick em' up before I beat you with it!" Eyeing her boot he casually bonks it out of her hand with the limb in his grasp. "Also time out for reading for you! That lightning show wasn't fun! I mean it looked fun but lookit what you did to my arm!" He thrusts the dismembered appendage in her face. "Help me fix it before I make us match...." His comical voice drops to a sinister tone and his red beady eyes narrow menacingly.

This thing, whatever it was.. it defied law, it laughed at nature. It was something beyond anything Ingrid had ever seen. At one moment afraid to hurt the madman with her spells, now wishing she hadn't held back as this creature seemed not to notice his own arm missing from his body. His focused on her, it sent terror through her entire body. Even as her spell was ready, she froze when he was in front of her, the book knocked out of her grasp and her legs beginning to shake and feel like they were jelly. Ingrid's eyes were wide, her lips quivered and her ears shrunk back, she managed to take only a step back from this monster before her. When the dismembered arm hit her face she all but broke, her eyes rolling in the back of her head as she tumbled to the ground feinting from shock.

 

Regaining her balance, Mynt cursed when she saw the rabbit in the dirt and the menace in front of her and charged at him, tackling him away from Ingrid as far as she could then with all her strength throwing him toward a tree. Even without one arm he still had his other. If she wasn't careful that one could rip right into her without a second thought. She wondered then how Robotnik could possibly work with such a fiend? How it was even considered was beyond Mynt's comprehension. "We are on the same side, fool! Cease your attack or I will end your pathetic existence!" Nothing would give her greater pleasure than to wipe that grin off his ugly face.

At the sight of Ingrid fainting Siiythe blinked his beady red eyes but yet seemed rather pleased with himself. "Huh she fainted I guess I still got i-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!" He squealed in surprise as Mynt tackled him to the ground and dropping his dismembered limb from his grasp. "Oh come on must you ruin my fun!" He wailed, much like a child having a tantrum after being told to get off the playground. His first thought was to flex his claws and gut the wench but as he looked her way; something about her, intrigued him. "Hey waaaaaaaaaait a second!" He leans in his white featureless mask pressing against her nose as those beady, crazy red eyes look into her own orbs. "Don't I know you from somewhere?" He rubbed his chin suddenly his desire to fight was gone and the nagging sensation in his foggy memory overtaking his blood lust.

He cups her face, showing yet again both his speed and the strength of his grip as he tilted her head from side to side. "Mmmm, some say you Echidna's are a dim a dozen look wise but I swear something about dem' peepers and your mug..." His eyes go down to her cleavage, "Mmmm." His grip on her face stopped as he used a single claw to catch the front of her top and pop the button, making the garment flop to the side and expose her breasts more. "Hmm, nope, no recollection from those; thought for a moment I saw you in a rape video some bandits I murdered for their soup were gawking at, made it all too easy." He chuckled darkly. The mad-thing craned his head yet again. "Still I swear I've seen you somewhere before that wasn't part of Robotnik's legion."

"That," she paused, with a fist moving his hand away from her face, "is the first and last time you touch me. Do so again, and you will lose your last hand." The threat very real, Mynt showed no fear of this mongrel. Only contempt and disgust. The only reason she held her ground instead of drop him immediately was because her orders were to bring him back alive. Her top barely able to hold her breasts with only one button supporting them, Mynt scowled at Siiythe and tried to hold her top together with her other hand.

"I'm sure I'd recognize your hideous face had I seen it before. Now I will only say this one more time: Return to headquarters. Now."

Just like that the crazy thing seemed affable and no longer of a mindset to kill her. With a shrug he recovered his lost limb and jams it into the stump from whence it was dismembered. After a brief period a flesh and bone crunching sound was heard as Siiythe's flesh and bone began to mend itself to reattach the limb with Siiythe himself making exaggerated discomforted sounds from the process. Yet despite bone, muscle and tissue was whole, Siiythe found the limb just hung there limp and useless. "Bah, of course the nerves will take time to mend from that lightning strike." He murmured in an annoyed tone; as he lifted the arm, let it drop to his side and repeated this five more times before giving up outright.

Turning back to face Mynt, he gave a mock curtsy, "So the fatman wants me to return to headquarters? Funny he usually wants me away from his city I guess it's a super serious job. Very well." Walking over to still unconscious rabbit he takes her book, stuffing it in a larger pocket of his tattered trench coat; before hefting Ingrid herself and placed her over his shoulder. Turning to Mynt again, he makes a gesture for her to proceed. "Lead on McDuff! I'll follow like a boy psychopath... for now, Kukukukukuuuuuu!! I just hope I get to kill some things soon, it's been tooooooooooo long since I had a proper set of playmates!~"
