The junkyard was usually quiet on nights like this, October 31st. Or better known, Halloween. However, the laughing and yelling was prominent, coming from the center of the area. A group of teens had come together to party the night away.
One of the teens stumbled away from the group and around a pile of junk to pee. However, he spotted something a few feet away, and it was smoking. He stumbled over to it, only to see a lsrge crater. Inside was what appeared to be a meteor, about 50 feet across.
"'ow'd we mi' 'is?" He asked himself, speech slurred.
Suddenly, he heard a hissing sound come from the crater, and he spotted something moving. He leaned closer, and he saw what looked like an egg, except the top had split open, and it looked like something was writhing around inside. He leaned even closer, only to see a flurry of legs before screaming and passing out.
His friends heard him and stumbled around the corner, only to fall to the same fate. An hour later, all that remained of the teens were their corpses, each with a hole in the chest...

A bloodied white hedgehog landed on a pile of junk, not far away from the meteor where the teens had 'meet their fate.' It grumbled something incoherent about 'revenge' and 'stupid lizards' before lifting itself up.
"damn, that lizard just HAD to intervene, didn't he? I was so close." the white hedgehog, Nazo, cursed. He took a few seconds to heal himself from all the bloody wounds the Final Hadouken had given him when it overpowered his own attack.
"Hmm? What's this?" he wondered, spotting a crater in the distance. Taking precautions, he flew over and observed what appeared to be a meteor from a high altitude to avoid getting ambushed.

The armored dragon-anthro stepped out from behind a junk pile, smelling fresh blood. He finally reached the crash site, and he stopped.
"What the hell?" He asked himself.
Then, he noticed the holes in the teen's chests, and his eyes widened, as he abruptly backed into a junk pile.
"I-it can't be... no..." He stuttered, wide-eyed.
He looked around, then bolted into the air, frantically glancing around the area. He obviously ignored the floating white hedgehog, as it wasn't on his top list of priorities right now. He then pointed his index finger at random piles, as if it were a gun.
"Where the hell are they..." He muttered nervously to himself.

(OOC: Assuming the Aliens have already matured)
Farther off, almost on the outskirts of the junkyard, what appeared to be a dimensional portal opened. A black shape was within it, though who or what it was couldn't be made out. The being soon dropped from the portal...
And landed on her head.
"Ow! That's the LAST time I let Father fiddle with this stupid thing!" She growled to her self as she stood up, shaking the stars from her head. This motion seemed to trigger a pattern of flashes on her body that wasn't covered by her clothes. "Now if this thing wasn't wrong about the destination, I should be at the ti-"
She was cut off by a hiss. In a split second, she summersaulted over a bladed tail and landed on the owner's head, driving her fist all the way through its skull. The creature was killed instantly.
"-me the Xenomorph invasion happened." She finish non-chalantly, brushing her hand off, which was unscathed by the acidic blood of the identified alien. "Now, to find the... Wait, this thing is at least a few hours old... Meaning..." She smacked her head with her hand, "I'm too late to stop the b******s from scattering. D*** it!"
Regaining her composure, her thirty foot wingspan stretched out from the back of her shirt, which had two slits cut into it for just that reason. Flapping them once to test the thermals, she took to the air. Myrr scowled at the thought of these things getting out and killing more people, but she was lucky that it was only a few hours, so the fiends couldn't have gotten into the city yet.
Amidst her musings, Myrr realized that she reached the impact site of the meteor. Glancing around, she spied what appeared to be an armored dragonkin. A... familiar dragonkin, at least to her.
Father's old friend!? It is! It's actually him!
"HEY!!" She called to the dragonkin, trying to catch his attention...
Unfortunately, this also caught the attention of a certain white hedgehog.
"Hmm?" Nazo turned from the impact site to gaze at the newcomer. There was something about her that... Bothered him. Like a soon-to-be-thorn in his side. Nazo landed behind a junk pile, out of sight of the two, and listened in if the were going to converse.

Suddenly stopping from his paranoid glancing from side-to-side, Shive glanced upwards to see what appeared to be a draconic human. A look of confusion crossed his muzzle, then his eyes crossed momentarily. They uncrossed, and Shive's hands twitched spasmodically.
"Hello?!" He screamed back.

Arthur walked through the junkyard like a mob boss would walk through 'their part of town'. Nothing phazed him. He did stop to close the eyes of those that had died; his uncle appreciated respect for the dead.
That was when he heard the can fall off the pile. In a flurry of unidentifiable movement, Arthur spun around and fired a single shot from his revolver and a black, bony heap fell and twisted on the ground in front of him.
It was not this creature which he was commanded to find. He closed his eyes and, with the air of one listening to something began to look skyward as his casually reloaded his gun.

Myrr practically beamed when Shive responded.
"OhmygoodnessIhaven'tseenyouinsolongit'snotevenfunnymydadtoldmealotaboutyou-" She stopped her rant short. (OOC: Translation: Oh my goodness I haven't seen you in so long it's not even funny. My dad told me a lot about you-) "Gah! I keep forgetting about this stupid travelling stuff! No one knows me whereever or whenever I go even if I know them! Oh this is so confusing." Myrr moaned as she rubbed her head. Glancing back at Shive, she said, "Ok, I need to get to the point, I'm here to help you stop these Xenomorphs, I know you've already had an encounter with these things so I'm sure you know how to deal with them. The problem is we are going to have a hard time tracking them since they've already scattered. Luckily, my father built this handy little device."
She tapped something on her arm, which seemed to open up with an advanced looking radar. It showed five dots on it everytime the scanning wave passed.
Only five? damn, some of them must be out of range!
"These Xenomorphs have acid as their blood, you know that. My father managed to get a sample and analyse it, coming up with this radar to help me track these fiends down when i came... here." She mentally sighed, having almost given away the fact that she travelled through time. When she glanced at the radar, one of the dots, a Xenomorph, started dashing to the center, which was her. "CRAP!" she yelled as she spun in mid air, just in time to see the Xenomorph lunge up and pounce on her, bringing her to the ground.
Before Shive could rush to her aid, she yelled "I'm fine!" before getting her wings to press up on the alien's chest area. With a strong shove, she forced it off and got back to her feet. As the alien recovered, Myrr drew her wings back, and Shive could swear he say the air within them warp.
"Take this!" heaving forward, Myrr fired off hundreds of wind bullets, each one punching through the Xenomorph's armor with an acidic spray from the back. After a few seconds, it slumped down, dead.
"Phew. By the way, my name is Myrr, and I know who you are, Shive."

Shive blinked, mouth agape.
"Umm... okay. I guess I don't need to tell you anything. Nice to meet you, Myrr." Shive stated, bowing slightly.
Suddenly, the radar started beeping again, and Shive's pupils rapidly dialated into slits. An image passed through Shive's mind.
*****
A lithe human, wearing red, hooded robes and carrying a long wooden staff, and a tall, feminine figure shrouded in a brown-black cloak with a bow strapped aross her back, stood before a cave. They entered after conversing shortly, taking note of the organic-looking walls.
An hour of walking through the tunnel led them into a large cavern, the walls still covered in organic-looking material. They studied the walls for about five minutes, until the red-robed man gasped. Attached to the wall by a sheath of the organic-stuff, was Shive, passed out and covered in a clear slime. The pried him off of the wall, and he stumbled forward onto his face.
They rolled him over as Shive's eyes slowly opened, then he started screaming in pain as his chest began bulging outward. Suddenly, it ripped open, and a small, serpentine creature hissed at the two standing, then slithered into the darkness, leaving a trail of blood behind it. Shive moaned in agony as the hole was left gaping wide-open.
Then, Shive clutched his face and started screaming again as a white, plaster-like fluid started spraying out from his left eye and nostril...
*****
Shive let out a furious roar as he grabbed the pouncing Xenomorph by the tail, then smashed it against the ground, breaking open various areas of the alien's body. Shive then grabbed it by the face and the muscles on his arm tightened as the alien's head popped like a grape, sending small spurts of the acidic blood everywhere.
He dropped the corpse, panting as his eyes dialated back to normal. He turned towards Myrr and sighed.
"Sorry 'bout that. Bad memories bring out the worst in me." He stated, flicking the acid off of his hands.

"I know, you're even worse..." Myrr paused, "Forget I started that sentence. Come on, I'll-" She suddenly had a bad feeling, which was accompanied by the radar letting off another warning. She drew her pistol and yelled, "Get down!"
Seeing the weapon, the dragonkin wasted no time in ducking, just in time for Myrr to fire off nine shots from a weapon that looked like it only carried six shots at the alien that just lunged from behind Shive. The alien was disoriented, but was still flying forward. With a yell, Myrr drew her fist back and and slammed the creature into the ground with a hammer punch. The force of it made cracks in the ground.
"damn things are responding to when their bretheren die, they just keep coming." Myrr growled as she pulled her fist out of the alien's corpse, not bothering to wipe the acid off.
"By the way, I thought you would have been freaked out when you saw the radar come up from my skin, Shive, everybody else was." She continued, once again refering to the dragonkin.

Shive shrugged.
"Meh. I've seen freakier. MUCH freakier."
Suddenly, his ears twitched, and a sly grin crossed his face.
"Did your dad tell you about these thing's main weakness?" He asked, his right index finger starting to glow orange.
He whipped around and pointed his finger at one of the aliens as a pea-sized orange bead flew from it and detonated into a 20-foot explosion of fire, enveloping the beast. He took a sick joy in listening ot it's hisses of pain.
"Everything's better with fire." He stated, grinning.
"And by the way, you can come out now. It's not like you're very stealthy." Shive shouted towards the 'human' who had sneaked behind one of the nearby piles.

"Yes, my father gave me a thorough detailing of these-"
The pile that Shive had motioned to scattered with blast of red energy. Anything close enough to the center was turned immediately to slag.
"What the hell!?" Myrr gasped, and then paled at who she saw. A white hedgehog, hands slightly smoking from the blast he had just caused, grinned.
"My inten-"
"NAZO! You're going to die!" Myrr roared as she charged at the white hedgehog, slamming Nazo into the ground before continually beating on him. She didn't concern herself with anything else, for she was tunnel-visioned on killing the white hedgehog in front of her.
"Chaos Control!" Nazo suddenly dissapeared and, in a second had Myrr twitching on the ground, beaten in many places.
"D*** b****" Nazo cursed, before turning to Shive. "As I was saying, my intentions were never to be stealthy, I was simply curious."
"Don't listen to that back-stabbing monster! Whatever you do, don't take your eyes off of him!" Myrr screeched from her position on the ground, but unable to move.

Arthur smiled. He had his man. Or hedgehog, as it were. He walked casually up to the group.
"You're a little hard to find, Nazo." He said, smiling with his hands in his pockets. "But you're here. Now, would you like to surrender? Or do I have to beat you into oblivion?"
Then, looking around at the others he said:
"Don't look so amazed, Myrr. Just because you come from the future doesn't mean you know everything. Time is...maleable."

(OOC: Aw Crap, LordNidhogg, the lord of overkill, is issuing a possible battle challenge to me? Well, I guess I'll have to do my best, considering Nazo's personality.)
Myrr's eyes only narrowed.
"God or demigod, I assume? My very presence here has already changed time." She said.
Nazo growled at the 'human.' "You think you can defeat ME?" A black aura, acompanied by dark lightning bolts surrounded Nazo's form. He had gathered enough strength to match himself when he first became Perfect Nazo, but that form was out of the question without those gems...
"You have another thing coming!"
(OOC: Lordnidhogg, please give me an honest answer, if Nazo and Aphostos were to fight in, say, a Fantasy Match. Without us controlling them, who do you think would win, if Nazo fought the exact way I displayed him to fight?)

((That's tough. If it was a fantasy match, then wouldn't Aphostos be at full power? If so, ask Shive for my original sheet: it's closer. Right now, eh, it's close. Both are immortal, Nazo has firepower, Aphostos has strength. I think Apostos would win if he could hit him, but Nazo can fly. Though, Aphostos has tough armor. Hmmm...tough choice.))
"No, no, no Nazo," He said, merely shaking his head out of the way. "I don't. You see, we aren't meant to battle right now, that was a threat to get you to make the right choice. I have just been sent to prevent you from making a mess."
Nazo remained, gathering power, but refused to yield. Arthur sighed.
"Father, remove him." A moment later, a burning portal opened around Nazo and transported him far enough away as to give Shive and Myrr a chance to recover. Arthur turned to look at the two. "He is no longer my mission, I have done what needed to be done. Should he manage to encounter you again, it is not my concern."
And with that, he merely walked away, humming to himself.
-o-o-o-
On the other side of the junkyard, Sideon was collecting vials and flasks of blood from some of the aliens' other victims. It would make for strong magic.

(OOC: I would be placing it as they are now.
And as a note for all, Italicized in this post means a flash back, and if the description of the dragon's tails in the flashback isn't a dead giveaway, I don't know what is.)
Myrr closed her eyes in contemplation. She let an almost inaudible sob when she recalled a memory, one that was the TRUE reason she was here.
A younger Myrr gazed at two air borne dueling figures. One was only four feet tall, and was a red hedgehog. The other was a twenty foot dragon with three scythe-bladed tails and jagged spines. The dragon back handed the hedgehog away, though he recovered easily.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" the hedgehog hollered. The next second, the dragon had been beaten and bruised in many places. The dragon merely scoffed, healing the wounds with his telekinetic powers.
"Nazo! You cannot win this fight!" The dragon called out to Nazo.
"You fool! You are the one who cannot win! Haven't you wondered why I changed? Why I waited so long to strike again? It's because I was absorbing negative energy from the very Earth itself!"
"Impossible." The dragon muttered, but was too caught up in it to notice Nazo fire a massive beam of negative energy, ripping through the dragon's left arm and chest. Gasping for breath, the dragon fell from the sky, and Myrr rushed up to him as he landed, crying a river.
"Dad! Please, don't die!" she cried to her father, hoping that he could heal himself from this.
"I... I'm... Sorry... Myrr... I won't... make it... this time... But... Please... Travel... to the past... stop Nazo... before he attains... this form..." Wth that said, the dragon's last breath escaped him.
"Oh, how the mighty hath fallen." Nazo mocked. "But now, I can not only kill him, but his daughter as well." A black sphere appeared in Nazo's hand, which grew to massive proportions. Nazo was about to hurl the sphere, if the dragon's spectral form hadn't frozen him temporarily
"GO! I can't hold him forever!" his telekinetic voice ordered. Myrr reluctantly obeyed him, tapping part of what appeared to be her skin, opening a portal through time which she jumped through.
That wasn't the entire fight, but it might as well been that fast, but it might as well have been. Now, her father was - is going to be - dead unless she destroyed Nazo. She knew it wouldn't be a permanent answer, but it would be a thousand year long one, one that would save her father from a painful death.
She was thankful that the technology of the future was able to create a time machine that would be small enough for her to equip to her cybernetic integration suit, which was in a sense, part of her body in the way that it merged with her skin. She wasn't a cyborg by any means, cyborgs had later been defined as half human half machine people that had obvious cybernetic enhancements, a fully robotic arm or leg, half a mechanical face to replace the skin and muscle that was removed through various types of accidents.
If it weren't for the irony of the situation she was in on her own, she would have laughed. The cybernetics suit that now served as part of her skin was her means of getting into the past to change her present to save its inventor from an untimely death.
He himself had never tried one out for himself, claiming "It wouldn't last long with my slowly but constantly growing body."
As she was musing, she noticed feeling returning to her body, and quickly got back to her feet. Another perk of having the suit as part of her skin, she recovered from wounds faster. She would need it if she was going to keep up with that white hedgehog.
Though she was sure nobody saw it, a tear escaped her eye. Seeing her father die in front of her, practically in her arms, was almost too much to take. And she never noticed the alien preparing to lunge at her...
