:Drake kneels down and puts his hand on the ground:
"What is this place?"
:He looks around and watches lightning crash into the huge rods:

:Infniity and Rainii follow down the ramp and stop behind him:
"This is the Thunder Plains, its called that because there is constantly lightning storms. The AlBhed set these up to make it safe for travellers to come thru. They also have harnessed the power and use it."
:Nods and looks around:
"Would it be possible for your target to be here?"

:Reaches into his jacket and pulls out three dull beaten up orbs. He places them on the ground and steps back:
"They're drones, precalibrated to him..."
:In a flash they take off in different directions. Drake swings his axe off from his back and begins walking down the path:
"....hes here though.."

:Infinity pauses:
"I'm not sure whether to follow or wait..."
:Looks at Rainii:
"...its up to you"

"We might as well follow, seeing as we've already gotten this far. I'm kinda interested."
::Rainii starts following Drake.::
"You can stay,though, if you want to."

:Infinity walks beside her:
"Nah...I just wanted to see what you were planning on...."
:Shrugs:
"I would like to know what we're expecting to fight..."

:Overhears them and stops:
"You know...I'm not deaf?"
:Glances back at them in a creepy way:
"...if you must know I've been tracking him for a very.....very....long time..."
:Shrugs:
"We have history...anyways....be ready...this isn't a walk in the park like you two think."

"We didn't say it would be a walk in the park. Nor did we say it'd be terribly difficult,either. Come to think of it, we didn't say much of anything."
::Rainii shrugs::
"If you've been tracking him for ages, like you've said, why haven't you caught him yet?"

:Lets out a long sigh. It sounds like a deep moan and then he begins to speak in that painful sounding voice:
"I have never failed to capture a target, nor have I ever spent this long tracking anyone."
:He trails off as a memory of flames and pain flicker in:
"....I just need to find him. I really shouldn't have to explain myself to either of you.."

::Rainii walks so she's in front of Drake, and stands in his way.::
"Actually, I think you should. I drove you all the way here on my private airship, on some wild goose chase looking for 'dragon man'. I would like an explanation, or would you rather spend the rest of your life wandering around the Thunder Plains?"

:He looks up at Infinity and wheezes:
"Fine..."
"I took accepted this mission a long time ago."
:He pulls out a photo from under his many layers of tattered clothes:
"...since then I've failed to capture him....obviously..."
:The dull photo is partially burned. Only a small part of one man can be seen in it. He hands it to Rainii:
"....I was hunting him down in another world. He has jumped worlds many times. I was in a small canyon pass when he attacked. Unfortunately.....he attacked with waves of red dragons....."
:He sighes:
"I hadn't been tracking him very long, but reports given to me on him were horrifically incorrect and I was illprepared."
:Drake lifts his hand and slowly pulls off a glove. Revealing a hideously burn scarred hand. Drake quickly covers it up:
"No one has seen me without my cover since being found. Needless to say it wasn't pretty...."
:Wheezes:
"...since recovering the mission was dropped, he was declared too dangerous to capture. I'm sorry I lied.....there is no warrant....but he needs stopped...."
:Drake looks across the plains:
"....I won't stop until I have my revenge. He took everything I had..."

"Well ok then. See, doesn't that feel better? You're....still moody,but everything is out in the open. Now, I don't know how much of a help we can be,but me and Infinity will help you catch this guy,ok?"
::Rainii smiles up at Drake::
"We'll get him. And don't worry about not having a warrant...Come to think of it,I've never had a warrant for anyone I've ever gone after..."
::She laughs at the thought of all the laws she's broken, and starts walking again.::

(OOC- This is to get Natalia out of the cave, in one post. I am awesome like that. ) "Hey,guys...." ::Rainii turns to look at Drake and Infinity:: "Are we acutally heading somewhere, or just kinda wandering?" ::Neither of the men answer her, both seemingly lost in their own minds.Rainii shrugs, and the three keep walking in silence. Soon, Rainii hears a faint noise, kind of like a girl crying...:: "Hey, Infinity...." ::No response.:: "Err....Hey? Helloooo! Do you hear that?" ::Nothing.:: "Stop ignoring me! INFINITY!" ::Infinity and Drake keep walking along, as if nothing has happened.:: "Fine!I will go figure out what it is all by myself!But I could die! And you would feel soooo bad if I did!" ::Rainii walks of in the direction of the crying. The crying gets louder as she gets closer to a particular cave, and Rainii so determines that the girl,or whatever it is,is in there.:: ( Why do I have to be so nice?I could've totally ignored this.) ::At the entrance to the cave, Rainii pauses.:: ( But what if I need help? If this thing is evil, I don't think I can do it on my own...) : You do have me,remember?"Who--?" : I think you know.( Crohan's dragon.) Dragon:My duty is to protect you. Let me do at least that.::Rainii smiles, and summons the black Dragon. He looks down on her, kindly. He makes her feel small.:: "Hi." Dragon:Shall we go?::Rainii and the dragon enter the cave. As soon as they enter, the crying stops. The two continue further into the cave, until Rainii trips on something shaped like a body.:: "Oh,ew. You've got to be joking." Dragon:It's alive.::Rainii takes a closer look, and the body is alive. it looks like a normal girl, except she is bound with rope. Rainii stands up, but continues to look at the girl.There's something about her that just doesn't seem right somehow...:: Dragon: What do you want to do?"I think we should take her...but let's keep her tied up for now." ::Rainii puts the girl on the Dragon's back, and she and the Dragon head out of the cave, and back to Infinity and Drake.::

"Sorry, but Drake thinks his scouts have been out too long. He thinks the guy is here..."

"I hope he's here, that way we don't have to look anywhere else..."
Dragon:She's up.
"What the-- Oh,right. Me. Sorry,I'll have to get used to that..."
::Rainii turns away from Infinity and walks toward the Dragon. He leans down to Rainii's level,so she can see that the girl has woken up.::
Natalia:"Wh...who are you people? Where am I?"
"I'm Rainii, the creature you're on is called....Dragon?I dunno,that's just what I call him..."
::She points to Infinity::
"That's Infinity, and that....."
::She nods over to Drake::
"...is Drake. You're in the Thunder Plains,by the way."

::Suddenly a little more at ease:: Oh... so I guess you're the one that rescued me? ::Looks at Rainii, and bows her head::
Then you have my deepest thanks. My name is Natalia, I am the princess of my tribe. ::looks somewhat sad:: or at least I was. We were attacked. My entire tribe was nearly wiped out. I'm the only survivor. I have no home to go back to. (OOC: she's lying through her teeth. Sorry I couldn't make up a better fake background) But, seeing as how you rescued me, I am in your debt. If you would allow me to travel with you, I promise I will prove my worth. ::Stares deeply at Rainii with both purple eyes::
