Champ shook his head at the group. "Come on..." His voice dropped to a hiss. "Stay close."
And with that, he abruptly took off for the second door off to the far left of the room, much to the dismay of the figures at the table. There was a scrambling to disentangle themselves from their seats, but Champ and hopefully everyone else had quite the head start.
The hallway was well-lit with lines of doors leading into other rooms, but the vast majority of the doors were closed. Champ shoved past surprised heroes and secretaries, not stopping to check if the group was following him. He veered off suddenly into a room stocked with shelves of videos. Champ glanced quickly at the row marked "Koopa" and dug through profile pictures with his claws, after just a few seconds snapping them together and yanking out a picture of your friend the Magikoopa. "Here we are," He muttered, tucking it under his arm and dashing back off down the hallway.
He stopped only one more time- he knocked down the door to a room full of tiny gadgets and grabbed a handful of inch-long wiry-looking objects from the first box he saw.
He lowered his head and charged all the way down the rest of the hall- it was almost a quarter of a mile long, but they only had another four hundred yards or so to go. Champ's two horns spread out a few inches and he simply bowled through everyone in the way, clearing a narrow path for the group to slip through for just a moment.
Out the back door! Daylight met the group as Champ hurtled down the streets out of town as fast as he could go. Slug brought up the back of the group, urging them on as he huffed and puffed in the effort to keep up. Champ would not stop until they were well out of the city limits and back on the road.
(Sorry about the rush these past few days- I'm off to Africa for three weeks now. I will return on June 21st or 22nd. Strangie will lead you around for the time being- nothing will change except for the narrative style here. Thanks for bearing with me, guys.)

Teal was caught off guard and instinctively ran after Champ hoping he wouldn't fall like he has been for the past several days. He followed him wondering what the heck was going on while checking back to make sure no one in the group was falling behind. When the group escaped the city Teal said, "Wait...you took that from them. Isn't that the League's property?" He was eyeing the files that Champ had. "He seems familiar...anyway will you guys still get paid after doing this? I'm not expecting to get paid, I'm not in this for the money."

Karth hauled tail as fast as he could after Champ, not stopping to glance back or anything as he moved his legs to keep up. "Aye, what's all this, now..."
(Yes, I will be taking over until Yoshee's return. I think this shall be fun. Thanks for sticking with us!)

"Wow. You speed up a lot. And I thought that you needed us?" Syleena rolled her eyes.

Moot dashed off after the group, barging the odd secretary out of the way as the group shot down the corridors on their way out of the building. "I don't think we'll be getting paid now, considering we're technically all accomplices to theft." Moot looked back towards the League HQ, noticing the other Heroes all scrambling to get through the back door at once, effectively wedging them in place. "...Good job I wasn't in it for the money, really." He carried of following Champ, who Moot assumed was taking them out of the city and out of the wrath of any angry Heroes.
((nitrostraggler would it kill you to put some detail in your posts? I'm not really certain to who you're supposed to be talking to, and it doesn't even look like you're coming along with the party here.))

Syleena followed the group along on the outside, looking as everybody began to get stuck in the door and shook her head, then stood behind them. "You know, it would help if we could all get out in a single-file line." she said.
(That better?)

Greg handed Champ his notepad. It read: "Champ, if it helps, I will not request a payment for this assignment of ours. It would be nice if you could show me around this league group some time after we're done though."
If he wasn't going to get money out of the League of Heroes, he might as well join them. They seemed rather wealthy, thought Greg.

Syleena nods her head and continues to follow Champ and keeps her eyes on him so he can't pull anything to try to get her lost. Then she made sure that the others that he doesn't get them lost either. "I won't need money either, but I'm hoping that we can get this done fast."

Eventually, the group manages to escape city limits and reach the road outside.
"Whew... was a close one, aye..." Karth panted. "What the bloody crap was that all about?"
Champ shook his head, showing off the file folder on Kyral and the device he took. "Information on Kyral, and a tracking device. This way, we'll know his every movement. Let's, you know, try not to frighten him off this time, hm?"
(It's gonna be slow posting while I'm in charge, so just bear with me here. I'm unfortunately not the best at taking over someone else's adventure and I'm kind of afraid I'll mess something up to be honest. I want to make sure everybody is going to stick around and be here when Yoshee is back and running things, eh?)

"We are not trying to scare him away and make your life hard for you at all! That would be the zombie chick, who is shut up now." Syleena said as she walked with Champ.

Teal was busy checking out his shiny new knife. "Oh right...heh." Teal said while putting the knife away in it's scabbard. "Avoid scaring him off...got it. So can that tracking device tell us where he is right now?"

Syleena shook her head and rubbed her eyes. "Well, at any rate, we'll have to work together to nab him." she said.

Champ opened the folder up, taking a quick look through the papers inside. "Yeah... everything's here. Basically, here's the problem. Apparently Kyral got into a big dispute over his eligibility with the League, wanting to join up and all, so he got all mad about it and stole a bunch of information about a meteorite and then ran off, to prove a point I guess. Once we catch up on him, we'll plant this tracking device on him. Any questions? I don't know if I can trust any of you to actually succeed in doing this, since you performed with flying colors the last time you were supposed to catch him," he said with seething sarcasm.
"Aye, that wasn't our fault, laddie," Karth said, waving his fin dismissively. "Whatever..."
Slug spoke up in the back. "By the way, I'll be taggin' along if ya don't mind, so we oughta get to know each other. What're ya names if ya haven't already told me?"

"Oh so that's what that tracking device is for..." Teal said while crossing his arms. "I thought some kind of tracking bug was already planted on him the last time you guys encountered this guy. It seemed like the league already knew where he was...unless I'm mistaken." He looked down and closed his eyes for a second. "Well...I'm determined to get some answers. Let's see what we can do when we encounter him next time."
"Good of you to join us Slug." Teal said looking up at him. "I already told you my name...right?"

Syleena rolled her eyes at Chamo and hid her sarcasm at hat he just said. "It wasn't our fault. It was all that idiot Mira's fault."

Post by Yoshiken on Jun 1, 2010 23:32:23 GMT -5
Yoshiken had been silently following the group ever since they had left the League, pondering everything that had been occurring up until now.
"I really can't remember if I gave my name or not, though, I don't see any harm in giving it again. I'm Yoshiken," he said, replying to Slug's question.
Yoshiken quickly changed the subject back to Champ's statement. "are you telling me that the League went as far as to hire a bunch of mercenaries because some unemployed koopa has information about a space rock?" Yoshiken asked, mockingly. "If they are that uptight, then we must really be in for it after our little 'escapade' back at the League," he continued, wryly, slightly laughing at his own comment.

Champ rolled his eyes. "Something like that."
Karth shrugged. "Name's Karth... but they said ye were supposed to pick from a list."
Champ frowned. "I know what they said. I don't care about that anymore. Look." He points up at the sky. Clouds are starting to form. The nasty storm type clouds. "The weather looks like it might take a turn for the worst. We'll have to find some shelter."

"My name is Syleena and it is nice to meet you." she said holding out a hand. She then looked around for shelter.

"Shelter...well an Inn would be out of the question because we're going to be wanted by the League for stealing their property." Teal said and then looked at Champ. "Got anymore connections Mister Weatherman?"
Then he looked at the archer who communicates using notes but never speaks. "Hey speaking of names I never caught yours Mister Mute. Can you tell me your name?"

The archer quickly wrote on his notepad, and displayed the words "Hey there, I'm Greg" to Teal.
