Creation (Krieger)

[Inu]

The Jackel stepped off the shuttle onto a floating landing pad in Coruscant's sky. He wore his traditional clothes, bare feet tapping on durracrete.

"Coruscant...what makes you think we'll find the clues we need here?"

[Krieger]

"This place shows up in my dreams alot. I thought it might have something to do with my memory loss." He said calmly stepping onto the landing pad.

[Inu]

"Very well. Where should we start then?"

[Krieger]

"Hmmmm... There is always a chance that a scientist could have fallen from grace and dropped through the roof of a bar." He said jokingly.

[Inu]

"Ground level. We'll find a bar of such a style there, no doubt."

The Jackel hailed a cab.

"Ground level. Any bar will do."

[Krieger]

"Have you ever been here before Inu?" He said, looking over at his companion.

[Inu]

"No, can't say that I have. But, there is a first time for all things."

The cab speeded along, making its way lower, horn blasting at other speeders that found themselves in the path of the deranged cab driver.

"And what of it?"

[Krieger]

"I just thought I'd ask. I'm looking for someone with an emblem. One that says 'X-Dragon Project' on it. I've seen the symbol before. That was the only thing I remembered. I feel it has something to do with my creation." He said.

[Inu]

"There was no such symbol anywhere in the facilitis where I was created. But that doesn't mean we were created by different means or different people..."

[Krieger]

"True... I feel as if I were an experiment. Someone's toy... Their pawn. My body got crushed into a ball of clay, for some sick mind to mold." He said with anger in his heart.

[Inu]

The cab came to a stop.

"The fare is a hun'erd creds, Chahley" said the cab driver, holding out a hand to Inu.

Inu looked at the man's hand, then at his head. His katana flashed, and the man's head fell into the passenger seat.

"So much for fare...Find a bar, Jedi. Do it quickly. We don't have all day."

[Krieger]

Shocked at what just happened, Krieger looked at Inu with distrust. What if he would ask for help and Inu would slice him as quick as the cabbie? "Alright."Krieger said with an uneasy tone."To the surface."He said more confidentaly. He waited for Inu to enter the floating cab and quickly began to decend.

[Inu]

They arrived, Inu walked quickly down the streets, reading signs, seeking a bar. At last they found one.

[Krieger]

"Let's go in."said Krieger. "We oughta find leads."

[Inu]

Inu burst in, unnoticed in all the commotion. He and Krieger walked to the bar and sat, on the look out for anything they would find out of the ordinary.

[Krieger]

Krieger took a seat warily near the Jackel, and jumped up almost as fast when a loud crash came from behind them.

[Inu]

Inu turned slowly on his stool and sneered.

"Altered." he said contemtuously.

[imported_Altered Beast]

The beast lay half transformed, a pool of blood flowing from fresh cuts in its torso. How had it escape? Pure dumb luck. Why hadn't it been chased down? It was...just not right away.

"Hhhhhheeeelp!" it rasped. "Paaaainn..."

[Inu]

Inu stomped it, pinning it and drawing a shriek.

"Where did you come from, beast?"

[imported_Altered Beast]

"Laaaaboratory! Laboratoryyyyyy!" It shrieked. "Hosssspital!"

[Krieger]

Krieger had seen it on the way here.

"Come on, dog boy, let's go!"

He lifted Inu and flew out the door, driving for the hospital. The big man bounded over the floating traffic and burst into the hospital.

"Where now?"

[Inu]

Inu's ears twitch and he sniffs, seeking, seeking...top level.

"The very highest floor."

The pair take to the stairwells, climbing up them at a pace none could match.
