Visiting Home

Three days travel, two fights, and a stubbed toe. Dante is feeling this trip is in some ways is worse than his first as at least he never stubbed his toe then. Looking to his companions he finds the twenty robots less then fun conversationalists. He knows a few of them are who he met the first time but right now, they are not people.

The Captain looks over and seeing a massive signature on the radar he jerks and that gains everyone's attention. Dante gets up and jogs over before he blinks and shouts. "Shit!" Everyone sees him turn to rush the door before opening it and jumping as they are still flying.

His is going to down this one before it gets closer. They stopped for a few days but have started back up and as he was going to head back for some time with his mate, he is less than thrilled! His mouth is wide as he goes to engulf it before he hears something and closes his mouth looking. "How are you there?"

Dante laughs out seeing the old man before he shouts. "Catch me I can't fly!" He watches as he hisses and lets him fall further as Dante is about to call again he moves. Dante lands on his neck sliding down until he hits the ground panting as that was a rush. "Hey old man can you leave that one be? They are with me."

Everyone inside of the transport has picked up their weapons and about to open fire before the impossible happened. Their passenger, who leaped out to his death, suddenly used that monster like a slide. The captain looks around than orders the pilots to land and once down he looks over as Dante is heading his way as the giant snake moves watching. "The information never said you could control wild beasts. Only those you called forth."

Dante smiles as he laughs and looks to them. "You can leave the weapons here and honestly you can stay as well if you are worried. This is the old man's hunting grounds so not to many big dangers really." he looks up and smiles before looking to the captain "Oh and I never said they were not wild beasts, just I can control them."

He looks down and moves closer now curious why this one is with these ones. Once closer he looks and hisses as the others flinch and pull back as he smiles enjoying that. "Why did you come with these creatures child?" Dante looks up and laughs out as he hisses softly "You are using them to travel faster aren't you?"

Dante moves and rubs his scales as he lowers his head down and Dante rubs his nose. "Honestly they can do the entire trip in less than it would take me to come here alone." he moves and leans back against him as he looks to them "Everyone this is the old man. Think of him as Dad and don't piss him off. I can tell him to let you live but if you provoke him, he will eat you."

Carlos steps out and slowly is moving towards Dante. He was one of those on the first trip and knows Dante is strange but honest in his assessments. "You swear he won't kill us?" as Dante repeats about not provoking him he nods and lowers his helmet "You have some very, unsettling companions Dante." Dante laughs and smiles pushing off as the old man lifts his head some looking around. After the short talk and people coming to terms with the monster with them they all board up and head off now to where Dante has picked, the old battlefield.

He smiles and runs over jumping on Silver as she hisses amused by him. "Welcome back my child but I thought you had gone back?" he explains things as she listens and nods with a soft hiss "Perhaps you can let your sibling out to stretch while here for a bit?"

Dante does and as he looks around he hisses and moves to enjoy his time and digest the body he swallowed. Dante looks around and smiles up before he jogs off to see the rest of the nestlings and letting them out as well. Five hours after his arrival he remembers why he came out and heads over to Silver.

She looks down to him as she was watching a few of the older ones. "Mom can I ask a strange request?" as she lowers her head saying he can ask anything of her "I would like to collect some of your saliva to test a theory." she nods and sticks her tongue out as he is scrapping it into some vials before nodding "Thank you mom and is there something I can do for you?"

She looks down and thinks before she smiles hissing softly. "Honestly child there isn't much at present but maybe at a later time I will have a request for you." Dante smiles and nods rubbing her scales "However, is there anything else we can help you with child?"

After a moment he looks to his wrist and as his heart races he remembers the upgrade to them that Ally told him about. He can now see the percentage of space filled and free in his compartments. It is actually from a different company but was made to be used across the board so more sellable. Looking up he asks if she will let him test a thought.

She agrees and after a bit feels a pull than feels free and looks around seeing the same area. "It worked!" she looks down as he moves around and bounces as she hisses softly amused "I can take you with me and it doesn't fill it up, just over seventy-two percent." he looks up and thinks as he shakes his head as these can store far more than they thought "Thank you for letting me test that out."

She hisses some and looks around before down and lowers herself to look him in the face, easier. "Tell me child is it safer in those places or out here?" as he says out here she hisses some and lifts her head looking around again before she lowers it "You are a brave child."

Dante calms and shakes his head as he moves and rests against her side. "I am not brave. I honestly am scared a lot but I just don't show it and act confident while terrified inside." she looks to him as she moves and rests her head next to him and he pets her "Hell I think the only times I am truly unafraid is near you all."

She hisses and looks to him. "Being afraid but not backing down is bravery. Only being strong when you can't fail is the signs of a coward." Dante looks to her and she can see he is in thought as she lifts her head "You are perhaps the bravest child I have ever had and I am proud of you."

Dante has never thought he would hear such words after he first lost his life. Looking to her as his eyes blur and his voice cracks she nuzzles him until he calms. The entire time she holds him she has only one thought in her mind. Who could cause her child such pain, WILL DIE!

It is nearly nightfall as his watch beeps and he looks seeing Carlos's name and nods as he looks around before he rubs the old man and heads off. "I am returning now so you all can relax. We can head out as soon as I return and dad says the birds in this area bed down at night.

Carlos looks to the rest and relays it as he shakes his head and they join him. "Okay I know Dante is the new figure to represent strange and scary but how can he explain things so they understand and give useful information?"

Donald shakes his head and taps his watch shaking his head more. "I don't know but I find myself no longer doubting his title." as everyone looks to him he expands the holo map "Since he left saying nothing would come here, nothing has come within range of my scanners outside of that big snake once as he just went past ignoring us."

Susan steps forward and stretches as she is presently just in a sports bra and bike shorts. "Honestly after our first meeting I could tell he wasn't normal." as everyone looks to her overly relaxed demeanor she laughs "He is more like a beast and when it comes to beasts, I have a sense for them." as they look to her she laughs "None of us could stop him if we tried so best to be on his side."

Dante is jogging back and feels like he is on dancing on air. His trip was far more successful than he had figured and now he feels great. Partially from his few hour breakdown and talking with Silver to how things now worked out. He is nearly back as he hears a soft growl and whimper as he looks over and heads towards it without much thought.

Stopping as he sees a wolf is resting a ways away from another wolf and by the look of things, this was not a friendly chat. He moves and starts forward as the whimpers stop and only growls are heard. He moves so he stands before it as it favors its rear left side and front ride side. Nodding his head he has to admit, even winning the cost is high with these fights. Looking around he can see the other one has their throat ripped out and whistles softly.

Looking back he moves and stays calm as he smiles softly. "Okay now calm down, we are not enemies. You may hate me but right now, I want to see you get back on your paws." the wolf keeps growling as Dante sighs some and pulls out a bright blue vial "You bite me and I will share you with my family."

The wolf wants to lash out but feels tired and is doing all it can to scare it off. Falling back it grunts and as it comes closer as her head falls sideways. After a few moments it can feel something softly rubbing it. Looking over it lifts slightly and sees this thing pouring something into her wounds. It hurts some but at the same time the pain is fading and as her eyes focus and keep track of this strange creature as it continues.

Dante is jogging into the clearing and smiles seeing them waiting as he nods waving to them. Susan waves as his pace changes some to the view before he calms and finishes as she laughs. "Now if I was the one jogging right?" everyone laughs as Dante suddenly is hunting for words and she laughs "Come on handsome we heading back or you want to visit anywhere else?
