Shive landed on the edge of the crater, staring at the smoking object. The flames on it had died down, and it was definitely totalled. It was a metallic, lavender-purple in color, and a large chunk had been blown in the side. He put his hand on Ragnarok as he strolled forward into the vessel. Parts of the vehicle seemed... organic, almost, and seemed as if they didn't belong.
Shive stepped into what was assumed to be the control room, and spotted a passenger immedeatly. He ran forward, and stopped abruptly. For on the console was a small creature that appeared mechanical as well. It was like a spider, but had a single red eye and was a chrome-blue in color. It was about to attack the alien being when it stopped and hissed at Shive. Shive scowled and smashed his fist into it, sending the thing splattering.
He sighed and looked at the passenger. His eyes widened when he got a good look at it.
It was a good 7-8 feet tall, and it wore a light-gray breastplate-like armor. It's head was roughly bullet-shaped, and it had four mandibles edged with sharp teeth. It's eyes were closed, and it seemed passed out. Shive shrugged and grabbed it, pulling the being out of the ship. It's forehead was bleeding, and it's right arm was limp, but other than that it seemed fine. It felt well-muscled, and it wore a black, rubbery bodysuit under the armor.
Shive set it down against the wall of the crater, when a hissing came to his attention. He whipped around to see five, four-legged creatures similar to the 'spider' earlier, but they were black. They stared at him as green energy began filing into a port below their eyes, and Shive growled.
What the hell are those? He thought.

The two Myrrs and Chiggar soon reached the cpsule... or whatever it was. Chiggar sighed.
"You two go in without me, I can't fit in there, and even if I could, I'd crush the floor with my body. If things go badly, I'll be out here as support fire," the beetle explained.
Xeno-Myrr shrugged. The hybrid flew down and entered, but Myrr was hesitant. The beetle sighed again.
"Go, I'll be fine out here."
"Alright," Myrr concluded flying down and following her dark half.
"Sometimes, I wonder why I was sent to this world. I'll most likely never find the answer... I guess I just have to deal with what Fate gives me." The Villakroma shrugged to herself, before laying down, waiting for them.
Myrr and Xeno-Myrr came to the opposite side of the spider like creatures, and the hybrid snorted in disgust.
"Yuck, just what are those things? Their hideous!" Myrr punch her dark half in the cheek for that.
"You idiot! You don't even know what the hell those things are! We had the element of surprise if they turned hostile too, but you blew it!" Myrr hissed lowly at her, keeping an eye on the spider creatures.

Two of the five turned around and chittered hissingly. They hunkered down and fired off spear-shaped bolts of sickly green energy at the two, missing and sending debris into the air. They scuttled forward at the two Myrr's, tackling the two and standing over them. Sickly tendrils erupted from the bottom of them, wriggling closer to the two.
Meanwhile, Shive was having trouble as the things fired at him, his right shoulder shot through, and his left wing tattered.
OBEY. JOIN US. DO NOT RESIST. A single, yet thousands of voices boomed into the three's minds.
One of the creatures pinned Shive down, the same tendrils erupting forth, attempting to do... something. Shive was about to protest when the creature screamed, it's head blown open. Shive took this chance to throw the thing off and glance around. He noticed the alien he saved was standing, a strange-looking weapon with pink crystals emerging from its top. The alien narrowed its brown eyes as it fired the weapon, pink shards flying forth and stabbing into the aliens on the Myrrs.
The creatures hissed, then fell lifeless as the shards exploded. The alien with the weapon turned to the remaining two and roared, rushing forward. It tumbled forward and below the two, then ran behind them. They turned as a blue glow eminated from their stomachs, then exploded in a shower of bio-mechanical shrapnel. The alien collapsed onto its knees, clutching its right arm.
"damn. Stupid things got onto my ship. Hey... where am I?" It muttered.

(OOC:... Are these... Aparoids!? Myrr: What's an Aparoid? Azure: *gives the shortest, yet most detailed explanation he can to Myrr.* Myrr: *blue lines mark her face anime style (you know, when some one's freaked out to the max)* T-They WHAT!? One of those things could've raped me!? *runs off, barfing sounds are soon heard*)
"Uh, first, thanks for the save," Myrr replied and then Xeno-Myrr cut in.
"Yeah, I'd rather avoid getting tentacle raped, assuming that's what they were going to do." Myrr punched her cheek again, causing the hybrid to glare at her.
"And to answer your question, before my dark half oh-so-rudely interrupted, the planet you crashed on is Earth. Um... Pardon my curiosity, but what were those things?" Myrr continued, after punching Xeno-Myrr, ignoring her glare.

((Sort of... after they 'raped' you, you would've... well, it wouldn't have been pretty.))
The alien looked up, and his eyes narrowed.
"Earth?! You're joking! This isn't the Earth I know-" The alien abruptly stopped.
His eyes widened, and he barreled into the ship. A few moments later, a massive bellow of anger erupted from the ship, and the alien re-emerged.
"That... that damn black hole... time travel?! How?!" He muttered to himself, clenching his fists.
He glanced back up, and inspected the nearby creautres with a cocked 'eyebrow'. He paused at Xeno-Myrr, and his eyes narrowed before continuing. He stopped at Chiggar, and his eyes widened. He recalled Myrr's question and sighed, stating,
"They're called aparoids. They're a thought-to-be-exterminated species that can infest living and mechanical entities, making them a part of the aparoid collective."
He hooked his projectile weapon onto his hip and clutched at his head with his hand. He glanced up at the others again, and as he clenched his fist, asked,
"Um... who're all of you?"
((Figure out what the alien-guy is yet?))

(OOC: Uh, no, I didn't pay attention to any descriptions. *scratches the back of his head*)
"Black hole? Black holes don't have any portal in the center, like common belief, it's just an extremly compact pulsar star. There aren't any properties of time travel anywhere in them, I should know, I use to do it on a near daily basis from the time I come from. Anyways, I'm Myrr. This somewhat similar replica of me is Xeno-Myrr, don't ask where she came from, its a touchy subject for me." Myrr replied.
"Name's Chiggar. Like you, I'm an alien from another planet, but unlike you, I didn't time travel to get here, nor did I have run ins with another species," the Villakroma continued.
"Sure, just leave me out of it, you ungrateful b****, YARGH!" Xeno-Myrr said, before Myrr yanked on her hair, pulling her head back. "OH S***! OWCH! F***, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, PULL MY HAIR OUT!?" the hybrid screeched at her light half.
"I was thinking more along the lines of disconnecting that empty skull you call a head from your shoulders." Myrr's distasteful tone told them she wasn't joking around. She let go of the hybrid's hair, who was still swearing left and right, before turning to the alien.
"I'm sorry about that, I'm normally not like that, but this other me is driving me to the brink of insanity... Wait... Did you say that they infect machines and living beings? Then... Were they trying to..." Myrr never finished that sentence, her eyes rolled up and she fainted. Xeno-Myrr suddenly grew tired.
"Crap, now that... she's fainted... I'll pass out..." True to her word, the hybrid fell forward flat on her face, out cold.
Chiggar blinked in surprise, and then turned to the other alien. "So, now that most of us have told you our names, what's yours?" The Villakroma leaned in closer, "If you're thinking those two are strange, your not the only one." the beetle then backed off, waiting for a response.
(OOC: Myrr and Xeno-Myrr really are like light and dark. They can't get along together, but they need each other to stay alive at times. [All the time in Xeno-Myrr's case.])

((..... indeed.... BTW, the alien is an Elite.))
"Uh... name's Shive." Shive muttered, scratching the back of his head.
The alien shrugged and replied,
"Name's Barias. You're... a Villakroma, are you not?" He asked Chiggar.
He sighed and looked at his ship. There was no way in hell that thing could be repaired...
A cracking sound soon became apparent. Barias looked over at his ship, and noticed there were thick cracks running out from uner it, and spreading out to the edges of the crater. The alien backed up, muttering,
"Um... I suggest you get out of the crater. NOW."
He then 'hauled' out of the crater, and Shive glanced around nervously. He dashed over and picked up the two Myrrs before rushing out of the crater as well.
"GO CHIGGAR! GO!" He screamed.
As the beetle escaped, the area suddenly got hotter as a chunk of the crater floor fell away, revealing a red glow. Shive's eyes widened as the ship too, fell in, along with the rock in the rest of the rocks. A distant 'plunk' noise was heard as Barias stood there, shoulders sagging, and mandibles open.
"My... my ship..." He gasped.
He fell to his knees, eyes still wide in disbelief.

(OOC:  ... I don't recall the species name, but I know the basic facts.) "Well... That was a crazy turn of events..." Chiggar commented, but then turned to the Elite. "Yeah, I am... but how the hell do you know? My home planet was consumed fifty or so years ago, and that was from this point in time. Unless you had spaceships back then like we did, there could be no way you would know about my species. Besides, be glad it wasn't you who fell in..." The beetle shrugged to herself, not really caring how he knew or not. "So... Is there any possibility that these Aparoids had a seperate division incase of catastrophe? Maybe that's how they're still alive in your time... Wait... Wouldn't that mean that they're alive and well in this time, not to mention at full power?" the beetle speculated. |

((Their actual name are Sangheili, but in the game they're from, they're called Elites))
Barias stood up, muscles tensed.
"Well, just because your planet's been destroyed doesn't mean we don't have recorded history..." He growled.
"And as for the aparoids... well, they were extinct in my time, but in this time... that's different. But how they managed to get on my ship is beyond me." He sighed.
He stared at the volcano's crater as an explosion erupted from the lava far below. He sighed again as his mandibles quivered, and he glanced at the others.
"Seems I'm here to stay..." He muttered.
He glanced at Myrr and Xeno-Myrr, and scowled.
"They gonna wake up soon?"

"Well excuse me if I'm a little curious, you do realize you could wind up with your face thousands of feet away, disconnected from your head, right?" Chiggar growled, her cannon revving up.
Myrr happened to pick that moment to snap out of her faint.
"Argh, geez, I hope that was just a dream." the half dragon groaned, Xeno-Myrr snapped to consciousness immediately and got her feet, 'huffing' at Shive.
"Unfortunately, it wasn't." Chiggar told her, letting her cannon die down. It was pointless to waste a shot on the other alien, so she decided to keep her cool, as best as she could at least.
"Why do I get the feeling things are going to go from bad to worse?" Myrr asked, perfectly content with letting Shive carry her. She blushed when she stole a glance at the dragonkin. Xeno-Myrr sighed.
"God, if you two are gonna get mushy, count me out." Without waiting for protests, or anything for that matter, she slinked back into her shadow state. Myrr just stared at her shadow for a few seconds, and also sighed.
"She always creeps me out with that..." Myrr said, then glanced at the crater, noting that the ship is gone.
"...Geez... That would suck for anybody..."

Barias growled again as he turned around, glancing at the city.
"Well, at least that looks slightly familiar... a human city." He muttered.
He was not in the best of spirits. He glared at Chiggar after her threat, and hissed,
"Try it, and you'll have a plasma grenade shoved in your cannon."
He glanced around the area again, and kicked the dirt forecefully.
"damnIT! I forgot my Banshee was on that damn ship! F***! Now I don't have any transportation whatsoever!" He screamed.
He collapsed onto his knees and sat down, putting his head in his hands.
"500 goddamn years in the past, no transportation, no communications, and all I have are my weapons and my armor! AUGH! F***! F***! F***!" He screamed.
He ripped his helmet off and threw it at the ground. Shive blinked, then walked over to Barias.
"Well, if it's any consellation, we thank you for saving our asses from those aparoids." He stated.
Barias waved his hand up and down.
"Urgh... don't mention it." He muttered, downcast.

"Your day just got worse." A haunting, unwanted voice said. Myrr froze, fear stricken, she turned her head, seeing Armageddon standing only twenty feet away.
"I thank you for telling them about these Aparoids while I was in ear shot. Now, I have everything I need." The demon lifted his head high, a black flare building in his maw. Armageddon fired, creating a portal in mid-air...
On the other side, was what appeared to be an armada of warships led by one particular six winged ship...
With a logo similar to that of a fox head on it's side.
(OOC: The Great Fox!)
The war vessels were already fazing themselves three a jump gate, and Armageddon's form become of pure energy, and the demon shot through the portal. The energy coelesced on one of the ships, before forming back into Armageddon, who immiediately cloaked.
The portal soon dissappeared, but the the ground below them rippled like water. Then the unthinkable happened.
Behind them, several insectoid screeches were heard, causing them all to wheel around. Thousands of Aparoids of all land-based varieties were trained on them, the small 'soldier spiders' clicking their mandibles in impatience. Unlike their normal behavior, it seemed that they were waiting for a command.
Myrr got herself on to her feet and said, "All in favor of running away, please do so..."

Barias tapped something on his wrist, muttering,
"I!"
He suddenly blended in with the surroundings before vanishing completely. Shive glanced from side to side, then threw Myrr onto Chiggar and picked the beetle up strainingly, grunting. He spread his wings and flew off shakily, swerving from side to side as he fled the scene at top speed (which is like, 30 mph with this load).
"OH SH*T! OH SH*T! RUNNING! RUNNING!" He screamed frantically.
((End thread, or what? *punches nearby aparoid*))
