Two large thugs were bolting down any street and alleyway they could find. One had a large burlap sack over his shoulder, while the other was holding a shotgun. Both were running like death itself was chasing them. "Grab a kid and hold her hostage for ransom..... Easy money..... I call bullshit ya moron!" The other thug looked at him with rage. "Well excuse me for thinking that the kid was normal! She damn well fits the bill! Keep running I think we lost it....."

With those words karma seemed to strike them down as through the walls of an old abandoned and dilapidated apartment burst a massive serpent monster with large arms. "Really? Well IT THINKS OTHERWISE!!!!" "JUST SHUT UP AND SHOOT THE DAMN THING!!!! The thug with the shotgun took aim and unloaded slug after slug, but all the large powerful shots did was bounce off of the massive creatures scales, and piss it off more. "okay..... BACK TO RUNNING!!!!" They both panicked and continued on their path of getting the #%!$ out of dodge. Their current path setting them on the main road of the district.

"GIVE HER BACK!!!" The massive serpent man roared, taking a swipe at the man with the gun and barely missing, his massive claws carving deep grooves in the road. "Dude just do what the damn thing says!" "Screw that as long as we got the little &%!@ we got leverage!" The man with the sack managed to dodge another swipe. "well some leverage JUST KEEP RUNNING!!!!!" Another swipe at the two thugs missed and hit a car, sending it careening into a wall with destructive force. "YOU WON'T ESCAPE!!!!"

Sanakan was both fascinated and appalled by Steel city. People were vulgar, rude and vile a den of disease and corruption and sadly, the only place she could get any decent metal anytime soon. It was going to take her a few days of exploring just to find most of what she needed and that was cold rolled steel, but not just cold rolled it had to be skin-pressed cold rolled. So many metallurgy foundry's in this place, the industrial sister of Jump city and she hasn't yet found one that specialized in cold rolling.

It was beginning to get late and she needed to find someplace to charge up for the night when she heard shouting and a loud angry roar from around the corner, "Better investigate and see if someone is in need of assistance," stepping around the corner, her eyes caught sight of two men carrying a girl and not too far behind them, a large massive snake like creature who looked absolutely furious, for a lack of a better term. With arms outstretched she snatched the two men by the throats and with very little trouble, lifted them from the ground as if they were naught more than bags of cotton.

"Now, I'm sure we can talk this out with the large reptiloid being if not, I will subdue him before he becomes a danger to those around him. Now, please release the child, she seems to be frightened of you both," tightening her grip ever so lightly, she could see their necks bulge, as flesh turn crimson red from lack of air. "The only alternative way I could make you let go now, is to asphyxiate you until you pass out from oxygen loss, which may cause permanent brain damage."

Sanakan, regardless of the situation, was cold and neutral in her tone, never raising it one octave higher than it needed to be. She could see the fear in their eyes, fear and desperation and she was picking up spikes of adrenaline in their bodies; fight or flight instinct and judging by the subtler changes, it was a flight instinct their body had chosen. "You have five more seconds to let go, so please let go now."

Xeno had run the whole way from jump city to steel city, keeping pace with a car that had sped the whole way, until being caught by some police which had ruined Xeno's fun. It hadn't ended well for the police men and the driver of the car. They survived through fleeing off into the landscape, while he kept to the roads and kept towards steel, mostly for lack of a reason not to.

He arrived to a very different place full of unpleasant smells, a oddly thick air, and an abundance of much more....hostile, prey. Everyone here seemed to have some sort of fire arm, though barely any of them could really hurt him. They always shot at him in groups and battered his hearing with their combustion based weapons. He hated it all blexcept for one thing, the number of layer out food, which was to say, dead bodies if animals......or otherwise.

But a particularly loud sound was catching his attention a bellowing, and a grinding on the ground, he ran over to the area, leaving a recently killed dog behind. With his mouth still bloodied he cane upon the scene of the men being caugh by a female human....though she smelled....different...more metallic but he was paying little attention to her and more to the behemoth nearby. He had yet to encounter anything bigger than him but this made up for it.

This.....creature was many, many times his size and very angry about.....xenoguessed it was in the bag...somethig alive? Prey? Offspring? It barely mattered as Xeno, ever the one not to think and still more a slave to instinct than to rational thought, still having no morals or anything of the sort.

He ran up to the man and thrust his tail through the bag catching it near the top and making sure nitro damage the contents though the man carrying it didnt have such luck Xeno's tail just happened to cath the upper part of his hand, nearly cutting it off. He then looked at the beast and the girl, holding the bag carelessly. As if ready to drop it....or throw it. He then let out a loud hiss and stared surveyed the area, looking viscous as ever.

When his two targets were caught up by Sanakan, The large reptilian man was quite on edge, but cautious and still. Waiting to see how this new arrival would play out and what her plans were. She seemed on the side of the girl in the bag, which was good enough for him, any possible damage the new arrival could deal out he could take, the little girl not so likely. However just as he was about to make a move of liberating the little girl from her captors, A strange and quite alien being had quickly snatched the sack from him and the thugs. With a low and deep growl that vibrated through the pavement, Naga's reptilian eyes sharpened as they focused on Xeno. "Put....... Her...... Down........" He growled out, bearing his teeth and both of his clawed hands ready to strike, his serpentine body rising upwards to make himself even larger. "If even one hair of hers is harmed...... I will tear you asunder........"

It was sudden, the feeling of the man who held the bag as he jerked in pain at the sudden realization that his had was nearly missing. The feeling of the blood on her face was warm as she let the men fall to the ground, her hand reaching up and touching upon the wet crimson, before pulling away in one slow methodical motion. She felt something stir in her this strange, almost alien feeling. If she had to describe this feeling, she would have to say it was a mixture of apprehension and as a feeling like she had been wronged in some way, but more intense, more palpable to her senses, like she could just reach out and touch it.

What she hadn't realized in the span of those few short seconds she had grabbed the corner of a brick wall, the steady sound of mortar dust and chunks of brick, falling from the wall. "Why did you do that? Why did you do this?" Her usually monotonous voice wavered in it's linearity, becoming cracked and unstable as she gritted her teeth, in the first show of clear human emotion. This thing had hurt someone, and from her own assumptions had nearly hurt whoever these people had kidnapped, or maybe, it had hurt that which was in the bag.

As she turned away from the wall Sanakan took with her, a chunk of the brick and mortar leaving a gap in the red brick wall. Why was she feeling this way? how was she feeling this way? It was as if a dormant switch in the farthest recesses of her mind, had suddenly and without warning, been switched on.

Slowly still, she turned to face the creature, this monster and she did so with anger in her eyes and on her face. "Put the bag down. Now," she finally gained some composure to her voice, speaking in a stern, commanding, tone. "You are a dangerous entity posing a danger to human life, put the bag containing the person down and leave, or I will kill you where you stand."

::charging particle weapon for immediate liquidation of designated hostile::

Lifting her left hand up and towards xeno, the back of it slid open to reveal a sleek black barrel that seemed to glow bluish-white, with an intensely bright light. The white hot fiery look in her eyes, clashed with the ice cold stern look of her face. She wasn't going to give xeno many options if she could help it. As she was most certainly going to burn a sizzling hole through it's face if it didn't comply with her orders. She was, without a shadow of a doubt, pissed off.

Xenonwas rather proud of his quick movements and flawless precision. He could see that the...whatever, Ib the bag was just fine, maybe a little shaken. Perhaps shivering but not injured...well by him at least he didn't have a clear view of the girl thermally because of the cloth, he just knew the bag was still just as they had been carrying it.

Xeno watched color drain from the thugs face, he would probably die of bloodless in a few minutes if he wasn't treated, his hands and feet already cold. He was in shock too. Bleeding heavily as crimson filled the street.

Xeno simply watched the man. Curious in what was happening.

But he was completely aware if everything else around him. The first of which was the giant beast talking to him. He was surprised to learn it was intelligent, though not astounded. The second of these things was sanakan he diet understand her anger at all and was honestly listing to her until she threatened him. He began to get ready to strike but then saw the glow of her hand and in a moment knew what it was, a particle accelerator. Capable of blowing holes through.....well.....anything, including himself.

He looked at her stubbornly for a moment then at the bag then back at her and bared his teeth. He let out a light hiss as a few drops of saliva dropped from his jaws. He then suddenly tossed the bag up and let it slide off his tail only to thrust at it again catching it near the bottom and sliding it off the small Childs frame and threw the bag at sanakan's feet. Then he raised her between him and Sanakan, still worried about the particle acclerator He wasn't sure why she was so important but both of these other oddities seemed focuse on he and he wasn't goin to give up his safety ticket at a moments notice, particualarly while heig threatened.

If looks could kill, the eyes that bared down on Xeno would have de-atomized three planets by now. But when the creature, from his point of view carelessly tossed the bag into the air his eyes widened in horror. Even more so when the creature nearly speared the child in its way of doing as Sanakan demanded and dropping the bag. But when the creature put the child between itself and the charged particle weapon he had nearly enough.

"Daddy? What's going on...... I'm scared......" Said the poor little child, unable to see who or what was holding her. The only things she could see were Sanakan and Naga.

As soon as those words left the girls mouth Naga's massive body slithered between Sanakan and Xeno, getting in the line of fire. "Give me my daughter......." His massive clawed hand extended outwards with the palm up, in gesture of retrieving his only child. "..... Please........"

What was he doing? What was he doing?!

Sanakan stood there in disbelief, watching as Naga slid between herself and the alien she wanted to scream out for him to move out of the way. This was frustrating, did no one even take her seriously anymore? Was that it? No one felt like taking the typically overworked, under-appreciated cyborg seriously anymore? Gritting her teeth as she lowered her hand, the weapon powering down and retracting into her arm, she inched to the side of Naga to get a better look at the child and at the alien that look of frustration fading to a look of concern, actual human concern, which led to an involuntary feeling of confusion.

what are these feelings? I'm.....worried about the girl? What is going on with me, have I taken a blow to the head recently? All she could do right now was watch, watch and wait for whatever happened next and try to break it up before it got out of hand. Not that it wasn't already out of hand already.

Xeno looked at Sanakan, dead at her, obviously wary of her. But though his "eyes" were on her his sense kept paying attention to everything around him. Mainly the giant monster and the little girl. When he found out that what had been in the bag was in fact a little girl he felt an odd attraction to her. The first thing to be friendly to him was a small frail girl and since then he had had no reason to think any others were any different. Songs suddenly felt much more protective over this little...human.

He looked at the two men, one of them practically dead now, with much more dislike, instantly associating the girl as a freind and now the two men as enemies. He hissed more viscously at them and then turned his attention back to sanakan and the large creature.

Then the creature motioned and asked for the girl, at first Xeno drew her in a bit closer. But then, gently dropping her a few feet, grabbed her lightly. Both his hands under each of her arms, still facing her away from him. His razor sharp claws on the end of fingers gently over lapping her chest as he gently placed her in the monsters hand and, reluctantly, let go though not before telepathically saying to the daughter "{hi}"

He then turned his attention to the two men. the first of which was still barely conscious Xeno, in and instant, wrapped his tail around the man and threw him over and onto the nearest building clearing its edge rather easily and leaving the man a good twenty foot drop back onto its roof. While he eyed the other man, his next victim. He bared his teeth ready to strike.

"Daddy!" The little rose cried out with glee upon being released. Hugging her fathers hand tightly. Careful to keep his daughters eyes from the sight of Xeno throwing one of the kidnappers away, he lifted her up onto his shoulder. As she took a seat two of the large tendrils that most would mistake as hair wrapped around her protectively, more to keep her secure in place then to shield her.

"Now then" Came the voice of Naga, his eyes quickly changed from that of a father to that of a hungry predator. "What should I do with you......." He growled out more to himself then anyone as he looked at the sole remaining man here that had taken his daughter.
