Chapter 4
Besieged
Chapter 4
By Mecha-Mightyanador
Mecha: Hey everyone! Welcome to another exciting installment in Besieged.
Inferno: Which is sure to have yet another instance of Rika and Mecha fighting.
Rika: Hey! Are you saying we can't get along! That we're just violent douche bags!
Mecha: *glares at Inferno, than smirks* No...I wouldn't dream of hitting my good and...*scowls as he says the next bit* Pretty friend Rika.
Rika: *grumbles* And I'd never think of being mean to such a....*pulls her ears, tail jagged* handsome mightyena.
Bane: *laughs* Oh dear arceus! They're being nice to one another!
Blaze: I give it a week.
Death: I give it 11 minutes.
Sky: Rika tell me...what do you think of Mecha's looks. *giggles*
Tia: Hey Mecha...what's your opinion on Rika's weight.
Mecha: *snarls, paws on his head* This is going to be a long chapter....
Rika: *hands over her mouth to keep her words in*
Inferno: Oh this is going to be a fun day.
Azur looked down the deep chasm in front of them. "Wow...that first step is a real dozy." She chuckled, stepping away from the steep drop. "Good thing we have a wide path along the cliff huh?" Which was a thankfully true statement, the path that wound around the cliff was indeed wide. Azur led the march, heading onto the path first, with the others filing in behind her, staying in a generally single file. Rein, Cryst, and Taze were a little intimidated by the path they had to walk. Flint and Azur were used to such paths though thanks to their adventure with their parents, while Mako, Blair, and Derra had wings that they could easily fly with.
Blair chuckled, poking Rein and Cryst, "You guys should calm down. Even if you do fall...we can easily grab you." She flexed her arms and tentacles, "We're super strong genetic perfection!" she broke into a giggle fit, as the siblings infront of her and Derra gave the buizel a look she was used to getting. The kind of look that said "What the heck?"
Mako rolled his eyes, casting his eyes over the edge to see what lay below. A river was visible, which gave life to the vast amount of green he could see, most of it being grass, but several trees were clear. The height of the cliff path made it impossible to tell if any pokemon called the area home, but Mako figured that there had to be a few mon down there; it did look like there would be plenty of water and food. He shrugged, turning his attention back to the path.
Rein had his chest puffed out, after Blair's comment he felt he had to show he wasn't scared of any old cliff. "Ahh...look at that view. It's wonderful ain't it?" he hummed to himself, seeing his sis was still a bit afraid of falling off the edge. "Don't worry Cryst; your bro is so great...why my greatness alone will keep this cliff intact." The poochyena rolled her eyes, chuckling lightly. "That's right, be cheerful." Rein gave his chest a pound, trying to look more impressive, though he knew that was impossible.
Blair giggled, and slapped the butt of the Pikachu with a tentacle, "Cool it Rein. Otherwise that stuff ego of yours will make the whole cliff give way." The Pikachu grumbled, rubbing his rump, looking to Blair with an annoyed expression. She just giggled, waving at him, "Yes hello. I see you too." The chu sighed, walking onward, hearing the buizel gal giggle it up.
Flint looked back at the others, making sure that none of them were too freaked out by the height. While Rein and Cryst looked a little intimidated, it wasn't anything terrifying, and Taze just kept his eyes on the path, occasionally looking up the cliff face. Flint turned back forward, keeping his eyes ahead of Azur to see if anything could be waiting, but there didn't seem to be anything dangerous, which was a relief to the absol. Suddenly he felt a weird sensation, his eyes going off to the horizon. "A storms coming." He narrowed his eyes, trying to discern if there were any harbingers of the storm, but he couldn't see anything, "A big storm is coming."
The others looked off into the distance, Rein raising his voice, "You sure Flint?"
The absol nodded, "I'm positive."
Though they couldn't see anything, they knew that absols had an uncanny knack for predicting disasters, so they picked up the pace, trying to get off of the cliff path before they were hit by the storm that Flint had predicted.
Their efforts weren't good enough however, as rain began to fall, a mass of dark clouds surging in as if from nowhere. And with them still so far from the end of the path, they knew they were in for a terrible trek. Than Azur's eyes caught something, "Hey guys! There's a cave up ahead!" Taze quickly rushed past the others, not wanting to stay out in the water longer than needed, practically diving into the opening. The others came in soon after, Flint looking around the entrance. "Hmm...looks like no one's in here." He went outside, returning with some branches on other materials for a fire.
After Taze and Azur used some heat to get rid of the moisture on the materials, the houndour used a little flame to make a fire to warm the others up and dry them off. The group gathered around the flame, after shaking off the water away from it, sitting down to warm up. Derra shivered lightly, not getting warmed up quick enough by the fire, Blair in a similar situation, though she felt the cold a bit less than her sister. Mako looked to his sisters, sighing a little. His tentacles reached out and pulled the two to his body, letting them share body heat. The sisters grabbed onto their brother, smiling lightly.
Rein and Cryst took to the idea quickly, lying down next to one another, letting the fire warm them both up as their bodies shared heat. Azur also took to the action with Flint, the absol smoothing his fur out as best he could, a trait he picked up from his mother. The houndour giggled, rolling her eyes as she decided to help her bro. "You know you aren't meeting any cute girls anytime soon. You don't need to try and make yourself look so nice."
Flint just kept smoothing his fur, "I like having smooth, well kept fur." He looked to his sister, "And I don't like looking like some mutt."
Azur smirked, trying to look angry, "Well that's hardly any way to treat your sister."
Flint chuckled lightly, "Sister? Really? I thought you were a guy given how you look right now." The houndour tackled her brother, laughing happily.
Rein chuckled, "It's just like thunderstorms back home ain't it?"
Blair giggled, nodding, "Yeah! All warm and cozy and fun." She giggled on, "Only 1 things missing." She looked to her brother, "Maky poo!"
Mako's eyes shot open, than glared at Blair, "Not funny." He flicked her nose, making her laugh from it. "I'll hold your mouth shut if you call me that again." The buizel girl just laughed more, the other joining in the chorus.
Except for Taze, who sat silently near the fire. He occasionally looked up to the others, seeing them in their sibling groups. And all the while he was alone, no brother or sister nearby to help him keep warm, but it wasn't that bad, he was a fire type after all. The quilava was used to it though, he alone was a miracle, so having a sibling was asking a bitch much. Still...he wished he could have something like the others did...they didn't realize just how lucky they all were. The quilava curled up, and attempted to fall asleep, since they'd be here till the storm cleared most likely.
Taze's eyes opened when he felt someone lay down beside him. Looking to his left he saw Azur smiling at him, "Hey Taze. You looked pretty lonely here, so I came to give you company." The quilava blushed, gulping out a thank you before hiding his face, which just made the houndour giggle.
Flint smiled, watching his sis take credit for his idea. The absol was the one who noticed that Taze was looking down over his solitary state, and it hadn't taken long for Flint to realize that Taze enjoyed one of the groups company more than any of the others. In fact, Flint was sure everyone was aware of Taze's feelings...short of the one who he had those feelings for.
Cryst looked outside, examining the weather she could see, before turning back, "I think the storm will be gone by tomorrow morning." She put a few thoughts through her head before nodding, "Yeah. It's just a flash storm. This will put us behind schedule by a bit...along with our stop at the lake...we'll be getting to Koshi a day later than I originally predicted."
Rein chuckled, "You're such a nerd. We don't care when we get there." He puffed his chest up, "When you're a great as me...the destination doesn't matter, since it'll always be the same awesome me getting there...it's the awesome journey that I make that's fun." The chu soon felt his head flicked, Blair giggling it up.
Derra shook her head, giggling herself, before giving a happy sigh, "Have you guys ever thought about your perfect mate?" She asked suddenly, a smile still on her face, "I mean...our parents all met while traveling and since we're going around ourselves...well...we might meet our right kind of guy...or gal." she giggled, "I want a guy who's cheerful and fun loving. Someone I can swim around with...or fly around with. Oh! Maybe both!" she broke into more giggles.
Blair smiled, "oh me next! Me next! I want a real adventuress guy...someone who's willing to jump head first into anything!" she looked up, thinking a bit, "I also want him to be a real good kisser!" The buizel looked to her buizel brother. "What about you Mako?" He scoffed, looking away, "Aw come on Mako! Tell us!" Derra nodded, pressing for an answer with her sis.
Mako grumbled, "I want...someone...kind...nice...soft spoken..." he was blushing lightly under his fur, "Maybe a girl with a little power to her punch."
Cryst was blushing, thinking of her own ideal mate, "Umm...she'd have to be smart. Uh...she'd also have to be a gentle person...and...really that's all I want in my girl. Oh...I guess she'd have to be a lesbian too." Cryst chuckled.
Rein quickly jumped on his turn, "My girl would have to be as perfect as me. She'd need to be just as smart, strong, fast, and just plain amazingly awesome." The chu grinned, before getting another whack from Blair, making him grumble.
Azur grinned, "My guy would have to be strong, courageous, and compassionate." She gave a nod, "I also want him to be willing to come to my rescue if I ever got in trouble. A knight to save his beautiful damsel." She giggled, "Just like mom and dad." The houndour nudged Taze, "What about you?"
Taze blushed, looking away, "well...my perfect girl is courageous...caring...beautiful." The others all snickered, even Mako got a chuckled from Taze's position. "She's real sweet and..." he covered his face, "I'm done."
Azur giggled, rolling her eyes, "Okay. What about you Flint?"
The absol looked into the fire, thinking long and hard, "I...I don't know what an ideal mate would be for me." He closed his eyes, shrugging, "I never put much thought into it I guess." He looked into the flames, "I guess I'll know who my perfect girl is...when I see her." He shrugged again.
Azur looked to her brother, shaking her head, "If you say so." She wasn't sure if he was telling the whole truth, but she was willing to leave things at their current state. She than yawned out, "Well...since we're stuck here till tomorrow morning, I'm going to bed." She laid her head down, the closeness to Taze making the quilava blush, and fell asleep. The others quickly followed her lead, laying down and drifting into slumber.
*****
The group exited the cave they had taken refuge in, Cryst's prediction proving correct as the storm was gone and the sun shined down upon their path. Azur smiled, "Come on guys. Let's get moving, we gotta make up for lost time." The others filed behind her, following the houndour down the path. As they went they saw the cliff losing height, much to the delight of some of the mon.
Azur smiled, "Well...we've gotten past this hurdle." She pointed to the end of the cliff and a nice level ground. "Ha...this trip will be easy as pie. We'd better start thinking of where we're going to go after getting to Koshi."
"Koshi castle?" a voice spoke out, not belonging to any of the group. The others looked around, Flint and Mako ready for a fight, trying to identify the source of the voice, "I'm up here." They all quickly looked up the cliff face. Standing on a ledge, a precarious perch to be sure, was a luxio. He looked like a standard luxio too, except for a strange mark upon his head, which was white and seemed to resemble a skull.
The luxio smiled, "You guys are going to Koshi castle? Can I tag along? I was headed there myself, heard that something real big went down there." He leapt down to a lower ledge, "Oh...but me and my manners." He chuckled, "Hi there. My name's Leonel. Pleased to meet you...miss?" he looked to Azur.
The houndour was blushing, smiling sheepishly. "Umm...I'm Azur."
Leonel bowed, "That's a pretty lovely name." he chuckled, looking to the others as they gathered around the houndour. "And who are the rest of you?" he asked politely. One by one they introduced themselves, short of Taze. "Umm...and what's your name my quilava friend?"
Taze tried to keep himself from glaring, "It's Taze."
Leonel nodded, "Got it." He chuckled, "It's nice to meet you Taze. Never thought I'd see such a cool looking quilava." Taze just gruffed, he didn't like Leonel...but it was pretty obvious to all that Azur did.
Mecha: Oh my...it looks like there's a love triangle blossoming.
Rika: Poor Taze.
Inferno: *snickers* Hey Mecha...what word best describes Rika?
Death: Hey Rika...do you think Mecha would be a good lover?
Ferra: *is sitting far from the others* I hope Taze doesn't do something reckless.
Blaze: He won't...he's a smart boy. Maybe as smart as Rika Mecha?
Tia: Yeah. He'll win her heart. He's a romantic boy...like Mecha, right Rika?
Mecha: *Grinds teeth*
Rika: *rings her tail*
Sky: Hey Mecha...Rika...how about you two hug all cute like?
Mecha: *looks to Rika* You know Rika...we agreed not to fight...
Rika: *Grins* But we never agreed to THAT...
Mecha and Rika: *turn on the others, attacking them with thunder bolts and cannon blasts and punches and kicks and chomps* DIE! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!
Ferra: *sighs* I knew this would happen. *ducks a stray blast* Never mess with the natural order of things. *waves* See you later readers.
