Lora stirred awake, rubbing her head, which was now furless. She glanced around, realizing she was in an alleyway, laying on a pile of trash.
"Ee-eew! That's nasty!" She exclaimed.
She stopped, hearing breathing. She turned to her other side to see Solranous asleep a few feet away from her. She crawled over, muttering,
"Hey, dragon-guy! Wake up!"

As if Lora had made a command, not a request, Solranous' eyes snapped open and the dragon groaned.
"damn, I feel like someone dropped a metal beam weighing a ton on my head." Solranous complained, rubbing his forhead. He glanced at the werewolf and inquired, "Any idea of where we are now? Last I remeber we were near my house but... none of this looks familiar..."

She stood up and brushed herself off.
"I think we're somewhere in the rural district, judging from all the TRASH!" She yelled, fuming.

"Well, then, I've never been aroung this part of the city, and I don't want to be around here again." Solranous replied, brushing some more trash from his cloak. "Where do you think the others are? The haven't landed in the same area as us, and I'm a little worried about my daughter."

As the two conversed, a figure landed on the roof above them. A single red eye pierced the darkness as the head turned from side to side, scanning the area. It stopped, and slowly tilted its head downwards, spotting the two. The figure folded it's arms as the four blade-shaped wings on its back folded up.
"What do we have here?" It hissed in a low tone to itself.
The helmet on it's head slowly began to fold into itself, going into the rest of the 'armor' the humanoid was wearing. What little moonlight there was reflected off of rust-orange scales that covered the figure's face. It then spoke into it's wrist quietly,
"Planet seems to have breathable atmosphere. Only lifeforms that have been encountered are hostile. Will continue observation, and if nessacary..."
It stopped, a sick grin spreading across its face.
"Engage."
It leaned over slightly, continuing to watch the two converse.

"Wait..." Solranous said after a few minutes, something was off...
"We have company." he continued, before his eyes closed in thought. He was going through a detailed telepathic scanning of the area and picked up on the 'intruder.'
"There!" Solranous snapped to his feet and turned around, gazing curiously upward at the seemingly alien being.
"Who are you? What do want with this place, or this world for that matter?" the dragon inquired. He wanted answers, and he was going to make sure this being couldn't escape until he got them. Secretly, he placed a telekinetic shield around the alien being, preventing it from escaping but also allowing them to hear what he could say.

The figure scowled as Solranous felt something enter his mind. He was suddenly wracked with pain as the figure replied in a deep, hissing tone,
"I feel there is no need to tell you."
He aimed his forearm at the dragon, a silver barrel gleaming in the moonlight. It grinned again, two red eyes flashing in the darkness. A yellow-green light appeared at the end of the barrel, then shot out as a spear-shaped bolt of energy. The blast went straight through Solranous's stomach, sending a flurry of blood into the air.
The alien turned towards Lora, who seemed to be shaking. His grin only deepened as he jumped down and grabbed her by the throat, hurling her into a nearby wall.
"You may call me Detoras." He announced.

Detoras suddenly felt his throat being constricted as Solranous was clenching his hand tighter, growling with fury.
"I don't know what the hell we did to you to deserve this, but nobody attacks me or my friends and gets away with it for good." the emerald dragon growled as his stomach wound slowly closed under the effects of his telekinesis, it was a thousand times slower than Future Solranous' healing, but it would make do.
Detoras' attack did, however, trigger a deadly problem. Solranous' eyes flashed red, then back to emerald green, this dragon was p***ed and he was about to show it. Solranous roared with fury as he released Detoras, only to pile drive him into the ground... Hard. The emerald dragon gathered inferno-strength flames in his maw and let rip with it, roasting Detoras' upper body with the intense flames that even some heat-loving creatures would back away from.
Solanous lifted his leg and drove his foot into Detoras' face, grinding it into the ground as he prepared a fireball to blast the alien with.

Detoras merely grabbed the foot and shoved Solranous away from him, the helmet reappearing on his head, the eye flashing red and coming to life.
"You attacked first, technically." He hissed, his voice altered slightly by the helmet.
Before the fireball could be launched, Detoras rushed up and clamped the dragon's mouth shut, allowing the flames to continually build. Without removing his hand, Detoras's eye/visor began to glow as needle-like particles of energy began to gather into it.
"Goodbye." He hissed.
The eye suddenly fired out a red-orange beam of energy that burned clean through Solranous's stomach, cauterizing the wound. He then let go of the dragon's mouth, and a split-second later, whipped around and planted his foot into the side of the dragon's head, thus sending him into the wall oppoite of Lora.

"I haven't even seen you before now... Wait, did 'I' look like 'I' was a bit opaque, as in a ghost?" Solranous asked, temporarily snapping out of his crazed rage. If he got the answer he thought he was going to get, then there was a misunderstanding... Meanwhile, he placed up a telekinetic shield around himself and Lora to deter further attack...

"Yes. Yes you were. And bigger, too." He replied, crossing his arms.
He then jumped behind the two and punched the barrier with surprising force, causing Solranous's concentration to waver momentarily. He jettisoned forward and drove his knee deep into the back of Solranous's neck, hitting an important nerve cluster. The dragon fell to the ground, temporoarily paralyzed, as Detoras aimed his wrist blaster at the dragon, another energy bolt charging.
Just as he was about to fire, a howl echoed through the area, making Detoras stop and turn around, only to get a faceful of furry fist ((ow, I bit my tongue xp)). He spun backwards, his visor cracked. Lora stood before him in full Gauru form, claws flexing. She lunged forward and bit down on his shoulder, sending sparks into the air and drawing forth blood. Detoras screamed and punched her in the head, then did another spin-kick to the end of her snout, making her yelp as it bled profusely.
He rushed forward and uppercutted her so hard she flew 5 feet into the air.

Being telepathic and telekinetic did have its advantages, because Solranous was capable of bypassing the nerve cluster Detoras had damaged. The dragon leapt up and caught Lora as she fell, setting her down on her feet. The dragon turned to Detoras and explained, "Then it was in fact you who struck first, Detoras. The version of me you saw was not really me, but my dead future self. We have no reason to be fighting!" The emerald dragon was obviously trying to convince Detoras to cease his attack, though he had a feeling it wouldn't work.

Thanatos heard the commotion as he swept through the area in his search for others. He altered his course to investigate, and saw a being attacking one of the warriors he had seen earlier and some sort of bestial humanoid. Thanatos didn't care for the warrior that was being attacked-it was the one who had helped the hollow earlier-but he was in the mood for a fight.
He flew in too suddenly for Detoras to react. He planted a foot in the warrior's face, sending him back and carving a trench in the concrete.
"I am Thanatos," He announced. "And until further notice, you are my b****."

That name... it...couldn't be... could it?
Detoras shook his head and stepped out of the crater.
"Thanatos? As in, ex-Draeger warlord Thanatos? What the hell are YOU doing on a mudball like this?" He asked, clenching his fists.
He threw his shoulders back as the wings spread out, and beneath the helm he grinned, shouting,
"I think I know someone who may find this information useful! And no, I'm not retreating. I'm just advancing in a different direction."
With that, he hovered into the air and took off at the speed of a fighter jet.

"Now what the hell was that all about?" Solranous asked, blinking to himself as he tried to sort out the events that just happened.
"This is very confusing indeed, though I am thankful for Thanatos' intervention," the dragon muttered to himself. He turned to the werewolf. "Are you alright, Lora?"
