Fang calmly relaxes in the chair and sighs.
"Why is it Raven is so cold? She is a nice looking lady, despite eh way she dresses adn is apparently skilled in a challenging art. It is as if something has happened to her. If she would look past teh fact i am cursed, i think she could actually help me, especially since she seems to have some arcane training. At least enough to throw a chair at you. I wonder if she would ever help me out. SHe'd be the first." Fang says quietly.
His nose twitches agian and he looks at COrporal.
"I do have a serious question for you. Why is it your blood and scent smells exactly the same as teh one who helped me in the trainyard? If you are the same person, why do you hide it?" He asks calmly, not even looking at teh table.

WHile Raven watches the door shut, there is a clapping sound that echos from around the room.
"Well done, well done." A voice hisses from all around.
A black circle appears a few few yards before her adn black blouds slowly pour out of it. Slowly a figure slides out of the clouds, revealing a snake with a scale caovered human upper torso. It is wearing long flowing robes and has a hood draped around its head. SLung across its back is a long katana. Across his face and body are several arcane symbols carved into its flesh.
"I have to admit, wizardress, that i am surprised at teh fact you are upset and hurt by their comment." It says in an arcane language, "Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Ktonos, the Hunter. I was pulled here by your little emotional turmaiol you just had. May i help you in anyway possible. As a sorcerer to wizardress, the Ancient Laws of my world say i am to help another user of the Arcane Arts, wehn they need it. Emotions can interfere in the use of the Arcane Arts."
He bows gently before her and teh black clouds withdraw into teh black circle. The circle soon vanishes as well, leaving the serpent before Raven, with his head tipped in respect.

"I turn down your offer," Raven remarks. "I work alone. I appreciate your concern, but I would also appreciate it that you keep your nose out of things that do not concern you." she shivers slightly at the serpent.
Meanwhile, on board the XL6, Corporal decides to own up. "I'll start by answering your first question. I know little about Raven, but I know that her attitude has had something to do with her past, or so a pretty little Alderbaran tells me,"
He then points to the Chuck Bodgers suit. "That is the suit worn by the person who helped you at the trainyard. I happen to know this as I was him. It's quite a long story," He takes a deep breath and begins.
"Back on my homeworld before I became an astronaut, I owned a small museum that was burnt down by a group of teenage thugs who all got away. For revenge, I bought a few gadgets from the insurance money and went around pretending to be a superhero named 'Chuck Bodgers', I landed at that name after I couldn't decide a good superhero name, so I just thought of the first thing in my head. Whether I caught those kids or not I can't remember, but after the superhero thing became old news, I hung up the cape for a while, but have only just restarted my public services for Genus when I arrived in the Aniverse."

Ktonos's eyes narrow at Raven's arrogance, despite her slight shiver.
"I was dragged from my destination by your anger and hurt. LEarn to control your emotions..." He says whit a gentle hiss, "Or they will destroy you with the power you tresure."
He slowly glides to the door and stops. He turns his body to look at her once more. He flicks his wrist and a small perfectly smooth stone lands at Raven's feet.
"The lesson of Humbleness should be your second lesson. As an Arcane Artisian, I would assume you know how to use a mystic stone. IF you need... help, don't be ashamed or embarrassed or to prideful to ask." He hisses gently agian.
WIth that, he glides out the door, before Raven can reply. OUtside, he looks around and nods at teh sight of the Genus Skyline.
"IT is a good world, but full of pain, sorrow, and anger. Much like my teachers told me of ALdebaran. I wonder if the young planet is still intact or did their in fighting destroy them?" He muses out loud and slides down teh street towards the Railway.
IN the XL6, Fang listens to COrporal.
"By your actions, i am assuming this is the first you told someone. I will respect your secrect and will not pass it on. As long as you do not pass on the truth about myself." Fang says calmly and offers a dried blood covered hand to shake in agreement.

Corporal shakes Fangs' hand with a smile, whilst trying to steer the ship at the same time. "Deal," Corporal grins. "You'd best get some rest, it'll be a while before we can get to Warren."
Back in the Admiralty building, Raven looks at the stone that Ktonos has just given her. As she thinks to herself in the darkness, she simply murmurs. "I don't want help, I just want people to appreciate the fact that I'm different and not creepy." She slips the stone into her pocket and moves into the Conference Room. Brigadier Proudfoot-Smith, who has been unaware of what's going on, notices Ktonos outside and mistakes him for Admiral Robin Bottle. Walking up to him, Bernard booms "Morning there, Robin! All set for the conference?"

Sorprised by the fact of another individual's presence, Ktonos stops at teh door adn turns around.
"Excuse me? I am not a member of this organization." He says slightly surprised.
He carefully studies the badger and his eyes glow for a second and dim again.
"Interesting, you don't posses any arcane arts?" He asks slightly surprised.
He then turns to look at Raven again, his eyes glowing agin and dimming again.
"Yet..." He says and stops
He looks around teh room, finally noticing the tech level.
"What year is it and have all the races started working together?" He thinks and sighs. "Spell failures."
He turns and clears his throat.
"I apologize for the misunderstanding sir. I came here by accident and i am currently preparing to leave." He says with a slight bow.
He turns to Raven's direction, "Miss, if you have time either now or later, i would like to speak with you, practicioner to practicioner.I ahave a few questions i wish to ask you, but i bellieve i should take a full look around outside and try to figure out who far off target i am." He says with a gentle hiss as he bows to her as well.
He turns again and slides out the door. He slides outside and finds a soft patch of grass surrounding a tree and leans his back against teh tree, quietly slipping into a gentle meditation.

"Terribly sorry old boy," Bernard shivers at his mistake. "In answer to your question, it is the year 3226 and all mammals are indeed working together. The Occultas Galaxy has only just entered the war, and Vice-Admiral Raven here is their delegate."
Raven meanwhile has listened to Ktonos' request and thinks about where and when to meet him "later".

"3226?" Ktonos thinks as he meditates, "Is this the 10000 year war our legend spoke of? Am i that far out of my time? What could have caused the traveling spell to mess up that badly?"
He sighs and slides dwon against the tree.
"I am truly out my my place and time." He thinks as he watches an AFC wak by. "By the Great Naga, i am out of my place and time."

Bernard, who has obviously better things to do, moves back into the building to wait for other candidates.
Meanwhile on the XL6, an alarm sounds on the Chuck Bodgers suit, and Corporal halts the ship to inspect. "Rats!" he murmurs angrily, and turns to Fang. "Fang, I'm needed back on Genus. Would it be alright if I teleported you the rest of the way to Warren?" he asks with a desperate look in his eyes.

"An old friend of mine has popped up on Genus, and I need to find out why," Corporal answers, slipping on the suit. "If you'll follow me, I'll take you the Teleporter Room."

Fang nods and follows him.
"Then you do not need help?" Fang asks as tehy walk. "As much as i hate saying this, Warren is already taken, but Genus isn't. IF it is that dmn ferret again, i owe him."

"Oh no, it's no ferret," Corporal mutters as he switches on the Teleporter. "Just a pathetic army general who acts like a spoilt child. You needn't worry about me Fang, your place is on Warren. Good luck." he answers, and presses the button to begin teleportation, before moving back to Warren.
Back at the Admiralty building, Raven turns to Ktonos. "How much longer do you tend to stay here?" she hisses in a low voice.

Ktonos looks up confused, "I did leave teh building though as i said i would." He says looking around. "To tell you the truth though, young one, I am truly lost. THis is not my world and the feeling of magic is so weak here. There are only pockets of magic here and i find that very disturbing."
He watches a cat and canine walk by talking. He then looks overat a racoon and tiger walking hand in hand. He lowers his head slight.
"Now i know what it feels like to be a freak. It appears i am the only Naga here. Everyone else seems to have fur and smells of being warm blooded." He says quietly and looks at Raven. "Must feel nice to fit in. If my presence here is bothersome i whall leave."
HE rises up and turns to hed down the street, trying to ignore the stares.

"That's just the problem," mutters Raven. "I don't fit in."
All of a sudden, an explosion knocks down a building just inches away from Ktonos, and a human being in a purple military suit towers over the two, in control of a gigantic machine standing on six mechanical legs and armed with two enormous pincers. On the side of the machine is the Toad Skull-and-crossbones.
The human has his hair in a giant spike, and he smiles grimacingly down at the two below. "So!" he rasps in a weird tone of voice. "You must be the two spiritual lovers that I've been sent to destroy!"
