Here’s a small comic based on a scene Emma and I talked about two days ago, featuring Shang Tsung and Wo Shen ( @emmacreatures ‘s MK fan OC ) in a domestic setting.
If there’s one thing I’ll always love it’s showing characters that are known to be endlessly evil in vulnerable and personal situations that they so not usually share with anyone - it adds so much depth and makes them so much more human.
We HC that Shang Tsung enjoys pampering himself for hours on end - and that he cares a lot about his appearance in general. He does it because he simply enjoys it, but deep down the desperate hope of genuinely being admired and loved by someone might also be involved. However that is a side Shang Tsung does not easily reveal to just anyone…

A new danger in sight
OKAY IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! A new racer story, featuring Rafael and vernon, two mayhem causing men in the racer industry. It took me a bit to think on how these two possibly meet, but now after a few days of tweaking I'm upmost excited about this!! @niku30 made me the most incredible pieces featuring these two, and I'M SO EXCITED TO BE FUELED WITH inspiration!! As some might've read; Vernon is the character that got pushed back after Cruze took his spot in the races. But the man still has his blood boiling. lets say he's the meanie of the family.. And eventually turning into a danger thanks to someone who fuels him to the max, and notices they're quite similar. FEATURING rafael, the most hottest man in the world, with his unhinged behavior, and Vernon mccoy, along his dad Carlos. I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THIS INTRODUCTION. I had so much fun writing this hejdbd
Carlos sighed as he was getting things ready. "Everyone please, be ontime. I dont like to make people wait." Carlos said like a true father that he was, having been invited by the nascar races to have some overal gathering. Carlos was a massive name through the days as the mccoy.. But as Cruze got through the trials and made his way into the world, every now and then, old and new racers would be invited for a party like gathering to connect everyone together. Paparazzi especially loved these gatherings. Some racers that no longer were around or had decided to stop would show up again for a small moment on that day.. Making them all hungry to ask all kinds of questions.. Knowing they'll be overwhelmed by all kinds of people, but it was part of that world. "You have everything?" Carlos asked gently Alissa, who smiled. "Rayner's ready, I might already head out there, would you mind?" Rayner's mom said as Carlos softly gave a kiss. "Of course not, we'll follow soon. You'll be bothered enough on your own I bet. We wont be far behind" Carlos said as Alissa left gently, making Carlos frown as his own son was once again not around, or doing his own thing without much consideration for everyone else. "Vernon?..." He called once in the huge mansion they lived at.. Grunting before he walked through the big hallways. "I swear, its like putting a leash on a great white. Where is that kid- Vernon?" He called again, hearing a sudden displeased voice "What?" He said as he arced an eyebrow while he held his phone in his hand, wearing his black clothing as per usual. "I'm heading out to the gathering we've been invited to. I have the feeling you dont have any plans?" "And what if I do.. I'm not going to show my support to the snake that took my spot" Vernon said as the anger was still fresh, making Carlos sigh..
"We've been asked to come as the mccoy family. If it makes you happy, cruze does not fall under it despite we're family. Do us a favor and show up for our name at least" Carlos said as he already regretted asking his own son. Vernon was a tough and difficult man to deal with. Despite being almost 30 at this rate.. It felt like Vernon was stuck in a constant puberty.. At least thats what it felt for Carlos. The constant arrogance, stubborn behavior, and sass, along a strong unresolved rage issue in combination of a spoiled brat.. Which now became a bit of a rebel.. Made Vernon a ticking time bomb at times.. But nothing fueled it to the max, yet or made it go overboard. It was still.. somehow being able to be controlled and checked by carlos to not make it go too dangerous or to the point it cant be saved anymore. "and why should I. I dont owe anyone- that aside, I feel like you're not approving of anything I've done in the past, especially these days." Vernon said as he looked pissed. "Hell.. I almost feel like you're preferring.. Cruze, over me and now.. Suddenly you want me to join your family name?" Vernon said with a slight threatening undertone, making Carlos sigh. He would almost admit he had been having a better connection with cruze, but saying that would be a wrong move.. With a deep sigh, Carlos replied. "You know what. I dont want a fight with you. I just asked you along okay? At this rate you've been giving me a headache, we've been asked to come as the mccoy family, you ARE a mccoy. You're close to getting into the real games now. Surely you might appreciate to build up some connections that could potentially help you. Might even have some sponsors among them?" Carlos said as a good mention, making Vernon snort. "I would've already been if cruze hadnt taken everything. As if he hasnt had enough-" "I know you guys are a little rough to each-" Before carlos could even finish his sentence, the anger of vernon came through. "Rough to each other- HE stole my spot. Illegally took my car and got a chance in the racing games despite not having a license. Its-" Vernon couldnt even finish his sentence as a threatening look fell upon his face.. Breathing out more strong as Carlos continued talking. "As if you never do anything wrong Vernon.. I know your preference in driving-" "as if you're so clean.. The mccoy name was meant to be a threat.. Everyone feared you. Thats our whole slogan. You used to do the best tricks that were just touching that warning line, just being able to get away with it.. until you became weak for that woman and decided it was enough-" "leave alissa out of this. Okay. Sure, you have that same determination and hunger that wont leave you.. But please, behave. just join for an hour, you can leave afterwards, we can take your car so we can go whenever you want" Carlos said as Vernon rolled his eyes.. before he'd agree.. Making Carlos sigh and go through his hair before they got into one of Vernon's cars, as Carlos drove them to it. For Vernon was just scrolling on the media, seeing who was going to attend the gathering, and sorta party for the higher end racers.. Carlos felt the need to tell the man one thing as they were getting closer.
"do me one more favor.". Vernon turned his head to his dad as he looked displeased. "This is not turning into some type of baby sitting I hope. Do I have to ask approval to get a drink later? Or even better, A little note that says I'm allowed to be up late?" He said as arrogant as possible, making Carlos ignore it for a second. "Please take this from me. Do not talk nor mingle with all drivers. Some are more deranged than the other.. Some might even try to get you off the tracks mentally and even physically. its a harsh game out there with many competitors.. And I have a name that can track attention, including you. I've heard you are after.. Well.." "What?" Vernon asked immediately as he narrowed his eyes. "Things hover around.. and you are a goodlooking man, and you know that, many tell you..-" "I truly hope you're not going to say what I think you're doing" Vernon said as he rolled his eyes, glaring a bit. "Its come to my attention that you're fond of the same gender, and thats more than fine to me-" "Oh great to hear it gets approved this once-" "Leave the sass at home will you. I'm just- Spare me the details... But try to behave at this event please.." "You're assuming I'd just fuck with everyone like that... How low do you think I am." Vernon said as he shook his head.. turning back to his phone with the most displeased look on his face. "unbelievable" He whispered. "I do have taste you know.. There are only very few who get to even come near me. Let alone be worthy.-" "Language.. Vernon. My god. No, I'm not saying that.. But dont get dragged somewhere or.. Mix yourself with the wrong people by all means. There are.. Some racers that just.." a silence hit from carlos before he sighed, knowing some in particular that were.. mayhem in the wrong way to some. "Just take my word. I have no control of what you do, but please dont-" "I got the hint. So much for trusting your own son huh." Vernon said pissed, keeping his eyes to his phone, checking all racer's instagram while Carlos with slight worry looked at his son who had his focus elsewhere...
The silence in the car was harsh.. making Carlos regret the fact I decided to have that conversation. "Look.. Vernon-" "I'm not a ten year old.. Please dont refer to me that way. We're done with this conversation" He said dominant, ignoring his father.. before arriving shortly at the tracks where the gathering was held.
It didnt take long for Vernon to judge everyone around him. He ended up leaning against his own car as his dad was welcomed among everyone, having left his side quite soon. "So much for going together huh.." He said rather silent while being displeased.. Crossing his arms as he watched everyone pass. He definitely didnt do it for his dad, but being there to 'support' his own name, was fine he guessed. "Excuse me sir.. You're supposed to park your car a little far back, like the rest" one of the guys who controlled the area said so, seeming like a security dude.. making Vernon raise an eyebrow with a rather deadly look. Meanwhile as this was happening, a specific racer who was chatting with a few, noticed Vernon.. Side eyeing to see what the younger man was doing. "Do I seem like I'm here to help you fix that. We were pointed out to park our car here" "I- well.. I'm afraid thats said wrong.. sir. So if you please.. for safety reasons". The glare Vernon left to the individual made him second guess his fate.. But eventually, out of anger, Vernon was too tired to deal with this. Stepping to the man, he pushed the notebook that the security man had shown where he should park, against his chest firmly to make him step back.. Just noticing he swallowed as he quickly made his way out of there to make space for the lambo to be parked elsewhere. "I'll show them..". Vernon was already on the verge of being a menace, but being told to move was the final straw for today. Though, out of somewhat rebellious behavior, the man started his own car, but specifically made the most loudest noises to start up his engine to give people a heartattack. Making them move to where he 'apparently' needed to move the car. Many turned around to see the luxurious black lamborghini take attention, making Vernon smirk ever so slightly as he always felt king of the mountain with his own car. He adored attention.. but so far, all the attention was pulled away from him, making him quite furious about it. He deserved to be there for HIM. And his driving. Not just because his family name was known.
The racer, paying attention to the somewhat rookie he hadnt met yet.. smirked to notice that perfect way to show he wasnt agreeing to that security guy that made him move.. Making the man finish the conversation he was having, and smoothly making his way over there.
"Thats yours right.. Good taste you have there.. Italian cars tend to be a very specific taste, not many know how to truly handle those if it comes to it" Rafael said as he approached the younger but taller man.. Making Vernon turn to the rather attractive, raspy voice. "I feel like we havent crossed paths yet.. have we?" The man asked as Vernon tilted his head a bit. "I dont think we have.. Do we have to?". Vernon said rather spoiled and arrogant, as rafael noticed the anger, feeling this was a deep playing issue. "We dont" Rafael said as he noticed Vernon looking behind himself due to some noise, hearing commotion from his dad and all.. "but.. not so fair huh, being used like that?" Rafael decided to dig immediately, sensing he might understand this man far too well.. "Me and your dad go way back. He seemed to be a big deal back in the day.. No offense, but.. He lost his touch, it never was so scary as most said" Rafael said as Vernon turned back to the man speaking to him.. Narrowing his eyes. "Did you now.. He didnt seem to mention you to me" Vernon said as he looked up and down at Rafael, noticing some details on his clothing that referred to a car brand.. A bright red known one. "lets say we didnt really end up on good terms, his loss. Your dad.. he seems all mean, but really he isnt. He has been a coward when it came to me" Rafael had no shame in saying what he thought, making Vernon almost enjoy the fact this man roasted his dad.. almost feeling like it was the right thing to do. The first usual response of vernon was a rather distant approach.. Where his spoiled and rather arrogant behavior would come through, but the more he seemed to talk to this driver, the more he got eager to know more. It seemed rafael knew exactly how to tackle things like this. Their energies slowly started to mix as he broke off the protective demeanor of Vernon that wasnt nessesairy this time, or at all..
Though rafael could appreciate the fact Vernon was insanely picky about who he spoke to or who approached him. That was a nice sign in his eyes. "Ferrari.. Now I remember. you're the driver who made cruze almost fall out.. That was some neat work" Suddenly vernon's interest spiked all the more, not just because of rafael's energy and even giving a compliment.. Which was a rarity. "glad to hear that got noticed.. You like seeing that new driver struggle right? I feel there's some unfinished business on that part." Rafael said as Vernon's anger was shown in his eyes.. In which rafael could sense it. "so who are you? A new mccoy? I havent seen you around yet. you seem like a man who has potential to fit on these tracks.. If not meant to be around here. so why arent you" Rafael just asked, making Vernon breathe in as he raised his head, looking around to see the other racers.. "since someone took my place.. who surprisingly is running around, and a dad.. Who, even being retired, likes to use me as their way to get home safely.." He said.. Breathing out strong. "While dissaproving of my own ways" Vernon said more silent while he got personal, as he leaned more against his own car, feeling the anger spawn. "So you are a racer.. You're no pet. So you shouldnt be handled like one. Sounds to me like you're more than eligiable for a place here." Rafael said as Carlos noticed the two talking.. Stopping his own conversation to get inbetween them the second he noticed them. It was the one thing he so hoped wouldnt happen. "rafael.. I told you to stay away from my kids and keep your distance" Suddenly, Carlos's appearance showed the way he was dissaproving of the racer vernon was speaking to. "Ah carlos.. We meet again. a small conversation doesnt hurt, nor do you have a restraining order on me now do you" Rafael said smooth, making Vernon listen closely..
"I should've known. You do realize not many speak to you for a reason" Carlos said as Rafael laughed low once. "thats called intimidation dear friend. Something you dont have. I dont bite, hard. Cant a man just ask something about another-" "No. you wont lay a hand on him." Carlos said as he touched Vernon's back, making the man immediately correct that gesture. "Dont. I told you not to touch me." Vernon said threatening, glaring at his dad which made Rafael smirk slowly, noticing how some of his words are slowly setting a statement. "Stay away from this man Vernon. put the car somewhere else, away from this man.-" "Its mine. You're not here to control me. You will not tell me what to do" Vernon said strong, glaring as Rafael decided to just go for it. "i'm sure the man has his own voice Carlos.. Babysitting a grown man is no good look. You should-" "you're 44. He's 29. Make one wrong move and-" "with the right assets it can be an excellent way to develop a racer. you brought him here for a reason. I assume you told him to speak to some right. Do some networking" "not to you." "Well thats up to him.. Isnt that right Vernon? and.. You rememberd such a detail so well about me. You've missed me I'm sure" rafael said with a smirk, before he turned to Vernon. "How about we'll move your car just like he asked, and make this man drive himself back home. You're not here to babysit" Rafael said as open as possible, making Carlos glare. "Vernon.". The name calling from Carlos was like a warning, but Vernon was already more strong in tone than he was. "you should've left me at home". Rafael smirked to see the rebellious energy spike.. feeling like this was a build up that finally came to the surface, perfectly when he was right there to witness it. With ease, Rafael opened the door as if he had always done that and got inside of vernon's car as Vernon got in.. Starting the engine loudly before driving off.. Leaving Carlos.
The tension in the car was strong.. Due to vernon's immense anger towards his dad, but Rafael knew exactly how to tackle that.. He sensed Vernon wasnt minding the fact.. A racer like rafael just got into his car, so he felt like pushing to see how far he could go.. "While we're at it.. 'Moving' this car, would you mind.." Rafael said as he just made himself quite comfortable next to Vernon.. "I was aiming to leave soon to a rather bigger event than this, which is far more fun than this.. Dissapointing gathering, aside from meeting some new faces." Rafael hinted that he was pleased to meet vernon. "Its about a few miles from here. Surely a man like you can miss a few minutes?" Rafael said as vernon looked at him only with his eyes with a stern expression, before actually turning towards the highway without question, with a few turns remaining. "Surprising you trust a man you've just met to drive you somewhere" "I just have a feeling. And I cant help but wanting to see how you drive" Rafael said as he smirked once more, noticing the tension of the anger being there, but being controlled and put somewhere for a greater good. Vernon felt appreciated by a stranger.. As the energy was almost addictive to sense, unlike anything he had ever sensed.
Slowly coming to a few red lights.. Vernon's impatience was growing, ticking his hands with one ring onto his steering wheel as normally his own dad would tell him to follow the rules constantly.. But rafael, oh he knew. "you drive these regularly right.. I can see that, but it almost doesnt seem like you use the full potential?" he said as he noticed the car was put in the normal modus.. but just like Rafael knew his own ferrari had special settings.. Those lambo's did too. "Almost a waste dont you think, these cars are meant to be used" Rafael said as he noticed Vernon having a silent moment to himself before his eyes lingered down to the side of the car where all the buttons were located.. While he'd sometimes look up to see the red light still ongoing right before the road towards the highway. Rafael could feel the man contemplating. The true nature was fairly close to his own. Which made the well known and experienced driver poke the bear. Wanting to keep on seeing how far he could take this man out of his resistant setup that was controlled by family. "Since when would a red light stop you.." Rafael just smoothly said, making Vernon look down to the side, not looking at rafael directly but in his direction.. "I'm not your dad. He's not here, nor should he decide whats 'best' for you.. Do what you'd actually want to do. What are you waiting for" Rafael went for it... Seeing a sudden breakage into the man's mind. Vernon pushed the sports mode button in his car before pushing firmly on the gas. Going through the red light and with a good amount of speed ending up on the highway, passing everyone with ease. He drove fast, secure.. way more powerful than he'd normally do.. For rafael watched the man's precision.. Just knowing this could be huge. 'I knew it..' He thought, smirking as he wanted to make sure Vernon would no longer be restricted..
This was getting far too interesting for him to let go off.. In fact, rafael wanted to invest into this now.. Not only to totally make his previous enemy go crazy.. But he felt like he connected to vernon in a special way.. Seeing what this man liked and what not..
'You've been held back far too long.. Its time to make that worse' Rafael thought as he watched Vernon just drive without a single error, knowing exactly how to control his own car, the power a lamborghini has.. The noise was soothing to the both of them. "You did that well.. standing up.." "Thats what he deserved". Vernon was now speaking back to Rafael without any questions.. Matching with someone like that was an one in a million for the younger man. As Rafael told Vernon where to drive, they ended up at a higher placed penthouse up at a mountain, where a party was ongoing. Driving towards the entrance, Vernon perfectly parked while letting the engine run.. "I was wondering when my mutual would arrive in this matter." "What matter.." "Lambo and ferrari's look great together, especially if that individual might not be too much of an enemy of mine. No one dares to drive with the power of a car like this, except for very few" Rafael said as Vernon sat a little more wide in his own seat, snorting. "that just a bad excuse, a weakness." He said, as Rafael laughed low. "thats what i've been saying.. But it might as well mean the right one is the only one able to tackle that in this sport" He said rather forward, making Vernon turn to the man slowly with his head. "You're having a lot of words about something or someone you've just met a few minutes ago." "i've met thousands of people.. I can see who are meant to be on those tracks." Rafael said as he leaned a little closer on his side. "It would be nice to have you on board, see how far you can go.. So very few people have good taste here.. Its almost been working on my nerves". Vernon raised an eyebrow as he listened closely, not looking disgusted when Rafael made himself completely comfortable in the car. "I normally dont really do this, but I like to make this exception." he suddenly said out of context, making Vernon frown.
"you want to make yourself sound special..?". A silent laughter left the more experienced driver.. Noticing Vernon really has that brat like behavior but stayed monotone on some moments.. "Admit it.. you feel good right.. thats the feel you're supposed to feel. Driving over these roads like you're the king, or prince, whatever it is that you prefer.." Rafael said as Vernon just watched the man.. "We should do this more often. Why dont we keep in contact, without daddy dearest interupting..." Rafael said as he smirked, taking his phone as he reached out for vernon's, exchanging their phone numbers. "After all.. I owe you one, for bringing me here, how else would I be able to reach you" Rafael said as he noticed Vernon taking the man's phone and putting his number in.. Having a feeling he was picky about it, but so was himself. "I dont mind sharing info either.. So feel free to text whenever you feel like. For all kinds of purposes. I have nothing to hide" the older man said as Vernon looked at the man's chest and up at his face. "I can see that" Vernon said bluntly as his stern face kept being on there.. Making rafael surely more and more interested. "and not many take it, even if i'm honest.. But I have a feeling you might like to." "what makes you say that.." Vernon asked as Rafael took his phone back, seeing the name in there.. Handing vernon's phone into his hand. "i feel like the younger groups are making it challenging for us again, which can be seen as good.. or bad, depends on how you handle it. I dare everyone to try and challenge me. I know you have it in you.. daddy dearest just, did the exact opposite of what he should do." Rafael said as Vernon listened, raising his head a bit.. While he'd look rafael in the eyes now. "you have a power. I've felt it. control that anger rightfully so.. and put it in one focus.. It might be controlled mayhem.. but it'll make you so much stronger, without loosing your own.. Special touch, that i'd like to see" "Almost sounds like you're giving me advice.. why would you help me, if that means sooner or later you might have a new racer to deal with" Vernon said rather forward, feeling his ego was filled now.. "I like your thinking. Alot.. It reminds me when I was just starting.. but most importantly." Rafael said as he leaned closely, making his words more impactful than anything.
"I like to see.. if the son of the mccoy has its own fuel, His own legacy.. His own style, because I like to believe he does.. far more stronger than what your daddy ever did. Make him seem like a joke compared to you. You need your own voice, you got plenty of it, I can tell.. But you'll have to use it. There are trials ongoing for the next couple of days. You should consider" "If you hadnt paid attention yet. I've tried for a while.. But some snake took my spot" Vernon said as Rafael just leaned more close, pressing one finger on the part between them in the car. "Then make the snake bite himself.. Step on it. By all means, make it regret he did that, since he'll have to deal with a menace soon. Unlike him, you'll have actual support. true support, from the inside out.. and it'll bite him in the ass." Rafael said as vernon looked at the man's hand, before back up to him. "not many seem to like you.. I remember now." "thats because they know it can get dangerous, nothing frightens me.. But I might not be alone on that regard". Rafael was giving the exact right words to the younger man.. making him hungry for so much more. "I'll come and watch, if you get that far.." Rafael said as he smirked before getting out of Vernon's car.. making the man process so much in so few time.. Ending up stepping out as well.. "Answer me this.. Why would you give me advice at all. I asked before. But why. Truly." Vernon said with narrowed eyes as his voice had lowered. as Rafael looked up at the slightly taller man.. Watching his apparance. "Maybe that way i'll finally have a worthy opponent.. making my job a whole lot more fun." he said as Vernon watched the man with a slightly tilted head.. He could see it.. He just broke a chain that couldnt be undone, but it was time it did. "like said, its difficult to find someone.. that knows what good taste is.." Rafael said as he looked up and down at the man, nodding at him once as a thank you before he slowly left inside, making Vernon watch him for a while before he got back into his car.. Feeling his blood boil in some way, in the right way... Being more focused than ever on making it out of those trials.. Into that real game. the man made vernon's mind just switch, the final push it needed to be serious.. that could not be undone.
Rafael watched the lamborghini start loud and drive off with greater speed than ever before.. "I guess you're good for one thing Carlos." He said, smirking filthy..

A wake up call
AYO IM BACK! It took a bit, but I finally was safisfied onto fully wrapping this story up. @niku30 and I talked about rather dramatic approaches, and as soon as they mentioned a turn in faith for the huntsman.. My brain was fueled with ideas. Then Nina pulled the uno card and made the most STUNNING artpiece that blew me away and brought so much emotion. SO HERE WE GO. Inspired by that piece. featuring Rayner Cruze and Jack Hardin ~ (HERE's THAT PIECE BTW https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw0d8IUqFp2/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
instagram
Within the glimse of a second.. It happened. The steering of Jackson's car would not respond, No one could've possibly thought of this happening, and result in the worst fate imaginable.
The whole world seemed to stop for a second. Everything froze, yet went too fast to even realize what nightmare just happened. A turn was made, and wouldnt budge.. The whole audience in their seats gasped as the cameras followed to the worst crash of the century, no one knew how bad it was yet. All the racers were still in the game, as Cruze had driven to his pitstop as it needed fuel.. "This just in. The huntman is off the tracks, car has hit fire. Its yet to find out the consequences or state of Hardin himself.. Please remain seated-"... Cruze only caught up seconds after it happened. Freezing as he heard the words. Opening his own car door and watching the screens. "What happened.. What happened? is he hurt?" Cruze said with a swallow.. Before he got more strong. "IS HE HURT?" "we dont know cruze. It just happened, we dont know anything...". Out of pure fear and worry, Cruze swallowed again before he went back into his car, pushing the full gaspedal to blast the engine on as he drove off, right towards Hardin's crash. He couldnt even explain what he felt, but he had to go there. "CRUZE. CRUZE-STOP THATS-?!- Goddamnit he's not supposed to go out there. Someone GO AFTER HIM" One of his pitcrew yelled as he got someone to drive after him.. Managing to stop Cruze right as the man ran out of his car in the middle of it all, to see the wreck and full on blown fire.. "JACK.... JACK-" "Whoa woah.. Cruze, calm down. You cant come closer, the paramedics need to-" "I DONT CARE HE NEEDS HELP-" Cruze yelled before he felt like his world went into slomotion.. Cruze kept yelling thr man's name as tears streamed down his cheeks. Never in his life had he imagined to have felt such a sting in his heart.. The worst nightmare he hadnt considered or thought off to become reality.. Various people had to stop Cruze from coming closer as it was the ever first time the reckless rookie was broken like this. He was in shock, and even tried to run to the paramedics to join them on the way to the hospital.. but they all said for Cruze to keep a distance. But the man just couldnt. The game obviously was on hold.. and Cruze should not have driven off as it was an illegal thing to do. He just couldnt help himself.
Cruze eventually had been taken back to his own pitstop and crew.. Sitting away from most people as he shook as dried tears occupied his face, his trainer approached him slowly, taking him to a more private area where the doors could be shut instead of an open area.
"its a dangerous world Cruze. You need to realize this can happen.. Racing is dangerous. To younger, but also more advanced racers that hadnt made a mistake ever in their career. Its within the blink of an eye." Cruze's trainer/sponsor said as Cruze had been trying to get into jackson's hospital.. But everyone said it was too major, and had to keep their distance until they could tell or show how badly Jack's wounds were.. "I need to see him." Cruze said.. His voice shaking, yet being so stubborn and strong in what he wanted. "I know its difficult to see him but this is our world cruze. this is what you signed up for.. While you may or may not have realized yet that this can happen frequently. You have more speed than a take off to space, cars can mailfunction.. People bump each others cars. Things like this can be bound to happen".
As his trainer kept talking, cruze's mind was somewhere else.. Sniffing as he felt another tear slide down, he refused to look at the person speaking to him. "No one deserves this.. I should've been the one to get this-" "Cruze" "I JUST got into this world.. He.. He's been through so much Coach.. And now this happens, and here I am.. Without a scratch, without any issue. M" "Where did your confidence go all the sudden.. You're not quitting are you?" "I need to go to him, you let me go, or I'll quit.."
"for this season?" "Maybe all of it.. Depends what I feel like". "Cruze.. As much as you care, you cant do much nor take such direct actions.. He's possibly getting operated, and needs healing for a while.. At best he might have some scars he can get away with.. But he was in a massive hit, and chances are he might not get back into this game-" "You dont want to loose me too right.. allow me to visit him. Like maybe once a day. for a minute. Then I'll be back into your stupid game. Because you care for the fact I'm all over the media right?" Cruze said direct, seeing the true colors of this world now.. and the risk that they all had to endure which could end wrong.. as his trainer sighed.. "I wont stop you anymore, but I cant help you either. just as a reminder, if you'll pull something like this again, drive off towards the crash without allowance or pull more irrational decisions you think off on the spot.. It might've worked once to win that game which got you all into this world.. They will start to find you a bother, maybe even loose some sponsorships. you need to be careful" "Thats all you care about right" "Its important. Its a scary world with alot of ups and downs" His trainer said honest, slowly sitting up as he had sat down with Cruze. "Dont be late for the new game. As much as it might pain you, this season needs to go on and its a harsh reality. we have a race tomorrow again.. Try to keep your head in the game, or it'll be worse for all of us" The man said as he was realistic.. Making Cruze glare before he grabbed his car keys and drove off. He knew the crash was so recent ago that he might not get close.. But he couldnt help but try anyhow.
cruze was still in his racing suit. He ran right from the track to the hospital to stay as long as he possibly could. while he couldnt do much to help jack.. he just did not want to leave him alone. Each nurse after another told him to stay back and wait.. But somehow, Cruze's smooth ways got him still a little closer, using his looks a little bit to smoothen the deals along his reckless but fun behavior.. But the man was also so terrified. How would jack be.. In what state he'd be in.. Would he even be breathing on his own. It were things that were haunting Cruze. It might've been his first true fear he ever experienced.. As the driving and all never scared him.. But hearing that crash happen all over again in his mind, made him all the more worried how he was doing.
Listening yet trying to keep himself calm, one of the nurses eventually touched Rayner's shoulder as he was sitting in one of the waiting areas on the level Jack was located.. "Mr Cruze?" "Its rayner- You're fine" "He's still under some of the painkillers. A big operation is behind him, But he's stable for now." "Can I see him? or just wait inside of his room?" Cruze said as the lady looked into the direction of jackson's room before turning to him. "If you just stay here, I'll see what I can do. Since Mr Harbin is still dozed off, we usually dont allow people to come so early" The nurse said, but she noticed how badly Cruze through all these hours tried to come as close as possible. Noticing this man must.. care so much for Hardin. More than the people hardin works with, let alone his team. "Please.. if you can make an exception.." rayner said, noticing the lady saw the man was still wearing his whole racer outfit.. Not having wasted a second to come here. "Just, wait here.." she said, making Cruze slowly sit back as he waited.. Possibly being the most patient he's ever been.. Its been killing him, but after another few hours, the same nurse came to him. "Sorry for letting you wait, Hardin showed some signs of discomfort, so we needed to be sure what was happening.. You can go inside. Just try not to make him move too much if he wakes up" She said, making Cruze sigh out of relief. "Thank you.. Really.." He said, almost running to the room as he slowly opened the door, seeing Hardin for the first time since the crash.. gently closing the door behind him, he swallowed as he just slowly took a seat, but the noise made Hardin frown as he slowly opened his eyes..
"god i've never been more relieved to see someone move their chest" Cruze almost whispered as hardin had to blink a few times before he tried to focus on who was in the room.. Noticing all pipes and things onto his arms and more. "Cruze?" "the one and only.." Cruze said as he was almost able to cry out of pure relief to hear the man say his name.. alive and still kicking. "What are you doing here?" the man said with a rough voice, making Cruze laugh as tear fell down his cheek. "I could ask you the same thing.." Cruze said as he stood up to stand next to the man's bed, seeing Hardin moved a bit as he assured the man to take it slow. "You worried me sick Jack.. you better not pull this again or I'll have to kick you for it.. Are you okay?" cruze's voice started a but like how they sometimes messed with each other, but as soon as he asked how Hardin was doing, his own voice cracked, making him close to crying. He might've been a rookie and a daredevil, but the whole thing hit him so much that he wasnt scared to show emotion. "I seem to be fine for now.." "you better not scare the shit out of me like this again.. You're throwing me out of my game" Cruze said as Hardin laughed very carefully, before he looked at Cruze more. "I guess I keep doing my job then, being the huntsman" He said as the two all the sudden heard Cruze getting called.. But Cruze knew it was his team, questioning why he's gone for hours.. Without hesitation he ended the call before it even started, putting it on silent.. "Did they.. tell you anything regarding what you've been through?" Cruze said as he grabbed a chair to sit next to the man's bed.. "So far, not too much, they mentioned a lot of healing.. And that I barely made it out alive it seems.. But why are you here Cruze? I believe there's a race you have to be at tomorrow, and its not in the same city" "You care more about me having to be out there than visiting you here? do you even realize how difficult it was to even get this close" Cruze said as he raised an eyebrow, but almosy had to smile again because he was so happy he saw the man alive..
"I was so.. worried, it would've been worse.. I rather make sure you're fine and.. well treated than being in some stupid game..". "Stupid game? what happened to the man being so determined to win.. You're not planning on backing out are you?".. Hardin said as he sat up a little bit.. With help of the bed. Cruze realized this showed he cared more for jackson that he might've even realized himself, but the experienced man caught up on that detail.. Surprising him.. But making him remember it. "I'll catch up.. I'm not leaving the whole game.. its just, not the same without you out there. I find your health more important" Cruze said honest, making Hardin listen to him fully as he was a bit weakened. It touched him alot that Cruze went above and beyond to visit him.. Which again showed a certain part that confirmed some suspicion that they didnt talk about. "I can tell you one thing. you cant back up now kid.. They're gonna eventually notice this might weaken you- Many racers after seeing crashes like this tend to back out.. You cant do that" "I'm not weakened.." "I can tell you're worried. you even said it yourself, but you need to show them that this one crash wont distract you or throw you out of your game." Hardin said honest, making Cruze turn to Hardin as he looked at the man, saying nothing back for now.. "stay on track. mentally and physically" "You're becoming my new trainer?" Cruze said with a frown as Hardin looked back st him. "Dont give me that look. I'm saying you need to stand your ground" Hardin said forward, seeing Cruze got a wake up call.. But he didnt want it to become his way on avoiding this world anymore. "You're not weakened? Prove it to me then." Hardin said as Cruze's sudden challenged energy got pulled back.. Giving a specific look to Hardin in that regard.
"Since I wont be around for a bit, you might as well try and beat everyone else and stay at the top so you can wait for me to have a real challenge again. Shouldnt be too hard for you now?" Hardin said as he more than enjoyed the conversation, seeing that young energy in the room that got triggered by his approach.. Cruze had a bigger impact than he possibly realized on Hardin, but it so happened to be visa versa. "You're really out here challenging me while you've barely survived the accident?" Cruze said as he eventually smiled.. "You'll be okay.. Right?" "I will be if you wont go so soft on me. I'm quite tough Cruze, you better watch out" Hardin said, as Cruze laughed softly eventually, noticing the oldtimer was getting stronger again, certainly comfortable to make such comments. "Sure oldtimer, I'll keep my eyes peeled. The huntsman always seems to strike out of the blue" Cruze said as Hardin noticed the man thinking. "Whats on your mind?" "i was wondering one thing... Right before this occured, our race. you were so.. Strong on trying to win, so you had your next say in what you wanted.. I wonder what it was." "Well I didnt win.. Due to circumstances, so you might have to wait until I do get to win, the first day I'm back on track" Hardin said as his confidence made him smirk softly, making Cruze walk up as he nudged him. "Yeah sure- But you definitely made me curious. You were so ahead of me. As if you couldnt accept yourself to loose that one time. Must be important of what you were after-" Cruze said before he got called by his agent.. Sighing "What...?" "WHERE ARE YOU. We need to get ready to move you the next drive in cabo. Else we'll be behind-" "Alright- Alright. I'm coming.." Cruze said as he hung up, sighing as he stood right next to Hardin.. "Give me that" "What..?" Cruze said with a frown as Hardin took the man's phone, putting his own number in. "So.. The oldtimer has a working phone, even an own number?" "Very funny. How old do you think I am..?" Hardin said as he glared in a challenging way "Dont even answer that". Cruze immediately had to softly laugh, before he'd receive his phone back.
"So, now I'm forced to call you each day to give updates?" Cruze said as Hardin sighed. "You'll be gone, and I've noticed you're rather strong on wanting to know how I'm doing. Might as well see this as the best solution since you're about to travel again" Hardin said as cruze looked at his phone, adding the number to his priority. "Alright.. But you will have to explain what you wanted back on that bet of ours eventually" "Go Cruze or I'll call security.. You have to be out there. Dont show them your doubts. Those tires dont warm up themselves and you better show that reckless unstoppable behavior of yours that even can be a pain to me at times" "I was already doubting this whole speech, it started so supportive. Glad I made a mark" Cruze said as he held up the phone. "You might regret this though, now I'm even able to bother you outside the tracks" Cruze said before he had to leave.. Quickly making his way back as he felt less shocked about the whole occurence now, that he got to chat with Hardin.. Alive, breathing. In the time he went back to the track, he got called several more times by his agent, before running into his domain and packing as fast as it needed to be.. Onto a new race soon.

A nice introduction
IM BACK AND ALL THE MORE INSPIRED. @niku30 and I already are expanding our faves in this world and I just had to write some for them. theifehrhdb THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO COME. MATT dunkin is a very build and tattooed all over man who drives a Chevy that makes the ground vibrate, thats how heavy it is. along that we have Dan Fuller, who is Matt's marketing department/social media, pretty much the whole package considering business for him. Then aside we have Jack Hardin.. Known as👁 The huntsman, and Cruze, the rookie! ENJOY
"Alright Cruze.. This is your first race among the big guys. I know your last was a very.. Life changing occurence, and I like your determination, thats why you're here, thats why you have your own group now. Its strong, keep that, but remember.. These men and women have been in this world for years. They dont come to play, they come to kill, and especially go after the new ones to scare them away. Just do what you think is right but be cautious." "You know who you're speaking to right?" "I like your style, I give you that, but I'm also serious. Dont underestimate or we might get your first scars today. You are with a new own vehicle, not some borrowed one from your brother in law, and a rather rough road, keep put" the sponsor of Cruze said as they all stood ready on the tracks.. All the usual drivers had heard of this rookie. And the press was all about wanting to see how this course would go. Cruze was new to this world.. Yet there was an unfamilair feel, something he'll have to learn along the way, but for now.. This daredevil wanted to drive in his own car.. Adjusted to his liking. A rather high advanced one, fast; lightweight.. And of his own brand. It felt surrealistic, yet rightous at the same time, and he couldnt wait.. His hunger was massive and his gut knew this was what he wanted to do
"Ready Cruze?" "I was ready hours ago".
"Lets go everyone.. lets see what this race with the new rookie will lead to" one of the new commentators said as most raised an eyebrow, hearing how the rookie got quite the attention. "Lets see how he'll speak after we're done with him" Matt said confidently, smirking as he was waiting for the lights to go green just like all of them. Matt wasnt easily offended at all, but the rest.. hearing how much attention that new one got, made them rather tempted to play tricky. They all worked so hard to get there, so one rookie shouldnt be difficult to teach some manners.. right?
"AND WE'RE OFF" the commentator said as everyone drove off within the second.. Cruze felt the immense power of his own car, almost wanting to yell out of joy before he got reminded what he was doing. He was driving among the best in the world.. and he needed to take it serious, despite he tried to enjoy the most out of it, and feel confident while being at it, wanting to show what he's got.. "Ah there ya go.." Matt whispered as the rookie passed him.. "He can definitely control his car I can tell him that.. But he should keep track of the back" Matt said tricky as he smirked, pushing more on the gaspedal as the rookie was right infront of him. "There are several thorns among you Cruze. We got some very impressive people among you. Stay focused. Dont hurray too much when you get closer to that front. While this was your main focus back at that other race, you need to watch your front, and back at all costs. This is a mental test constantly" The trainer/sponsor of Cruze kept saying, while Cruze was just focused and going fast, but it was more than just that, that was happening.. The sponsor noticed one of the loudest cars coming closer on Cruze.. Making him warn him. "Watch out for that big Chevy.. Cruze. I'm serious. He likes to slam dunk-" Before the sponsor could finish his sentence, Matt had given a firm push from the back as Cruze managed to keep the car on track, correcting it as he felt that. "every car.." The sponsor finished the sentence, making Cruze wake up a bit.
"HOLY FUCK, he just- is that even LEGAL. Who is that?" Cruze said as he learned every second. "Thats Dunken. His car is heavy and needs more time to speed up, but once it does its like a heavy metal train. Which means.. His forces are hard to break once he makes the speed he needs to make" His sponsor said. "Isnt that even deadly serious, something about force and not enough to put on the brakes" Cruze said with intelligence, making the man who talked to him happy. "Thats what I'm talking about. Use that against him. You can make sharp turns. Keep being focused. This is just a slight glimse of what can happen. Its a crazy world Cruze. Terms of it being legal.. he always gets away with it. Kind off like the way you push your car, you know where to stop. Dunken seems to.. Exactly swirl around the illegal route, and leave a dent in people's cars without being charged.". "Is he keen on tailgating?" Cruze immediatelt said, taking it serious.. While in the meantime, Matt was just having fun. "Oh he's fighting back. Staying pretty steady, thats a first. Most immediately swoop off like that, game over" Matt said as he wanted to give another push, of course as well to make him move so he could come closer to the front.. But Dan.. Noticed the horrendous behavior, taking the trainer's headphones as he took over. "No No NO- DONT DO THAT DUNKEN. I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS" "Ah, fuller, cant you see. he just needs a little nudge. A little kiss on that ass to make him feel welcome" Matt said as he pressed the massive gaspedal to close in on the rookie again.. "DUNKIN I SWEAR- I cant risk another sponsorship to set sail because of your need to dent people's cars. You make us seem bad" "Well its all about it. I make you look good. It shows how stirdy the cars we have our. AND, To show we dont come to play, but to win." Matt said casually as if he wasnt in the middle of some race. "Dont worry about it sugar, I'll show them we're unstoppable. You get plenty of them." Matt said as he could hear his marketing manager just.. Die inside to hear Matt handle him like that, the man felt like it just to poke the bear. "I dont- I- Cant. nor Want to miss any opportunity MATT. You understand that. I do not want to argue with you again" "Mmhmm.. God, I love when you get all angry at me.. Like a soap series. you know, We could work on this, it might lead to some angry-" "No NO WE'RE NOT GOING THERE DUNKEN. STAY FOCUSED ON THIS GAME. There's people watching- Keep it together" Dan said rather stressed, making Matt smirk
"You're flustered huh.. I know you secretly love having these conversations. I prefer them much more over the ones I have with my trainer" "JUST FOCUS. MATT. COME ON." "I never left boss" Matt said so confident it would make women faint, before he smirked and got right into the race, without much of a chat despite when focused he was good at it. "Have this back.. I need to make some calls" Dan said as he would exhale rather firm.. This man sometimes was too much.. or was he the righr amount. "Alright Dunkin, i'll pretend I havent heard any of what you just said, but go for it will you" "Oh I'm way ahead of you. This kid needs to learn that he'll get some scars" Matt said as he smirked, driving dirty as it made things always tense.
"Watch out for a few more Cruze.. Dunkin there is a dirty driver, but there are more that you need to he weary off" "Like what.." Cruze asked genuine, not as if he was unimpressed.. But right as he was around 3th place for now, a car with a heavy tone passed him out of the blue, getting closer to the front as Cruze was certainly surprised "Holy.. How- Where did he came from.. I didnt see that one in ANY direction" Cruze said as the final lap came in sight.. Noticing right before the end, the car that passed him like a predator catching prey, managed to make it in first place.. "Thats the huntsman.. Another one I wanted to warn you about, but I felt like you needed to see it yourself." the sponsor said; making Cruze legitimitely question how he did that.. "Did you see him coming.." "Sometimes he finds specific turns that we dont even catch on camera.. I know your senses feel like they're off, and I know your senses are heightened, you have a feel for this.. but trust me, the huntsman is unlike anything the world has seen, and keeps it up everytime." The sponsor said "You did well Cruze.. Especially being 3rd." "Yeah.. Thanks" Cruze said as his mind was so... Blown by how that heavy fort mustang, was able to appear and dissapear like that. It were years of training.. but damn.. Cruze for the first time felt tricked but he wasnt even offended.. He was feeling challenged. He wanted to dig about this, feeling all the more excited about this world and where he managed to end up. "Cruze?" "Yeah.. I'm here.." Cruze said, but while he'd normally be all excited over the fact the rookie managed to place 3rd on the first game.. His mind was elsewhere.

A SUDDEN CHANGE IN HISTORY (RACING SONA INTRODUCTION)
Hi guys!! little silent but I'm SO excited! Me and my fave person @niku30 decided to watch Gran Turismo in London as a sudden movie to watch. I personally am the biggest car freak so I was so excited to go and see it together. Its even a game I used to play on the PSP as it was my first game on the console and adored it since. Not realizing they made such a stunning movie! It inspired me to write a new OC that I'm extremely excited about to show. PLEASE NOTE, I'M SO RUSTY WITH WRITING BUT I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET TO THIS!!! I'll post more soon but I'm so insanely inspired! I cannot wait to write for Niku's OC too once that sets sail! Thank you guys for reading!
It was another big day in the racing world. Mccoy was close to becoming a challenger for the so called 'head' or 'leader' of the racing world, standing number one after a big event that everyone knows about. "I'm going to kick his ass, everyone's. They dont know whats coming for them." Vernon said as he was all over himself. "You got this. Previous races you've been close, but you need to win this in order to be chosen to get in the higher rac-" Vernon's trainer said, noticing an immediate displeased look from Vernon. "You dont think I know that? I've been FIGHTING FOR THIS, Dont look at me as if I'm stupid-" "NO of course not Mccoy- I'm aware that you're aware". A whole group was all around Vernon as he really thought he was ontop of this world. Sure, its good to be confident in this type of work.. But Vernon was a spoiled bastard and known to receive constant compliments.. Having had the luck of his father being in the same business, so rolling into it made it quite easier having a known family member in the game..
While in the shadows, a slighty younger man watched the whole finesse take place, passing him without even seeing him. With crossed arms he kept his distance while the energies everywhere were immense. It was a weird world. Within a glimse of an eye, accidents could happen. You could become rich.. You could be known by the world for a skill. Sometimes luck was in the game, more than might want to admit. But while all those dangers were there and risks to take, the itch to drive.. was beyond irresistible. No one knew him like they knew Vernon. But his mother, his mother knew he was well raised enough to be a racer like Vernon was.. It was just a complicated world to begin with. Everyone hated you, no one was supportive until the dollar signs popped up.. and of course, a whole setup required alot of connections. Cayden on that hand, wasnt so lucky like vernon was. The only reason Cayden was along Vernon's group, was because of his mom's connections..
Cayden's world had always something to do with the drivers.. the races, but he never got the support he possibly needed in order to get into the big game. But that didnt stop him at all to try and get close to it. When Cayden wasn't born yet, his mom got in contact with one of the most known racers back in the day, not even having a clue on what that world was like, but the two just clicked and the rest was history.. Eventually having Cayden being brought into the world, the parents noticed Cayden's interest towards that world rather fast. Though in early stages of his growth, the relationship didnt stand for long after that as much as they tried, leaving Cayden and his mom on their own. Luckily, the father left behind some of his stuff as support, having noticed Cayden had a gift.. When it came to things in that direction. A daredevil.. Someone who wouldnt stand back for a second. He'd drive down on bicycles. Fall down hard but stand up like it was nothing, and make it more extreme along the way to challenge himself to get better.. See how far he could go. Rather fast, he'd pick up on how to handle anything in the direction of cars, how to push them. Go as far as it could go before it would be beyond repair. Find the limits, and cross them. Once Cayden arrived in his teenage era, he would go in the nights, working on a car that was far more powerful than it seemed, and drive along long highways he knew were pretty much empty at those hours. His mom figured out eventually, and sometimes worried, but deep inside she knew, he had it in him. There was something that no matter what you'd do, he'd find a way. So why should she try and stop him..
Over the time, when Cayden finally grew older, the two stayed around in the racing world due to connections, and his mom got in contact with another racer, that eventually turned more serious. Cayden was hesitant, liking to just be together with just his mom, but he too wished happiness for her, as the first break up hurt her quite alot.. Cayden however didnt realize that this new boyfriend of his mom turned out to be the head racer of the known mccoy family, Carlo, who has a son.. Vernon. Lets say that.. As Vernon and Cayden became brothers due to their parents becoming a serious couple and got married, the brothers on the other hand did not match at all. Cayden himself was someone who would never turn back from the biggest challenge and was a rough and real man (that was, what he thought of himself comparing to vernon).. While Vernon was a spoiled brat, who rolled into the world with luck of his family and bought his way into it. Cayden wanted so desperately to have a chance to race himself, and as he had moved in along the more luxurious life of Vernon and his dad after the family offered cayden and his mom a safe place to stay that was very much safe.. Cayden did misbehave at times. The mccoy family had a complete training circuit in the back of their garden, where every equipment possible was there. Cayden would sometimes sneak in there to either upgrade his own car, or take some of the cars they had to drive in the middle of the night, test his skills. While the father wasnt too approving of the rather reckless behavior, Vernon especially got beef with Cayden because of it. His mom managed to soften the rather strong reactions from the mccoy family, excusing him on behalf of her.. But as much as Carlo loved her, he did have troubles with the reckless behavior, despite he may or may not had a gift for driving. They tried to keep it rather low on the radar, but Vernon wanted to grab any moment to bring it up or bring Cayden especially down, making their connection rather difficult.
Cayden and his mom went along every race for the last few seasons. They did make sure not to put Vernon and Cayden in the same hotel rooms, as the spoiled brat would throw a complete tantrum if they did. It was hard to get used to, but seeing his mom so happy.. Made up for going through all the trouble. But his own tendencies of wanting to do things that werent allowed never slowed down. He was the worst daredevil.. and he hasnt gotten his chance yet to show his true potential but he wanted to, and would eventually. He wanted to kick Vernon's ass for continously slowing him down or make sure he got belitted. 'Behave okay, for me?' his mom said before the next race they were heading to.. Having promised to behave this once, as he stayed in the shadows and didnt interfere, which was a first this time, but man.. How badly he wanted to make that spoiled little shit trip.
"I'll be upstairs.. You're sure you want to stay here?" Cayden's mom, alissa, asked as Cayden nodded. "Yeah.. I dont like to be among carlo's group." "Thats okay, I know its still a journey for you, but i'm thankful you come along, just, come up whenever, you have the badge right?" alissa said as she pointed at the vip card she was wearing herself. Cayden just nodded, as she softly rubbed over his shoulder before leaving. Cayden just watched Vernon get ready for the race, as luckily some of Vernon's pitstop.. actually did like Cayden. They sometimes were tired of Vernon's behavior as much as Cayden was.. "Seems you guys are good on schedule. Hows the baby doing?" Cayden said as he smirked, making Trent, one of the pitstop guys, laugh. "So far he got his bottle. Seems to shut up when you just keep nodding, everything is ready though" "I know that feel." Cayden said as he looked at trent. Seeing he excused himself to get Vernon to the starting line. But that was just the beginning of today.
After that, the race started, starting pretty fine.. Cayden was just watching along the pitcrew, eventually noticing a rather annoying racer, tailgate Vernon, making him dunk firmly on the side against concrete as Vernon started cursing. But Vernon wasnt alone, right behind him, more collissions started to occur, giving a blockage. "VERNON. You're close to the pitstop, does the car still work-" "IS THAT YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT NOW?! I MIGHT'VE BROKEN A GODDAMN BONE-" "Listen to me. People are catching up on you. you need to quickly drive here if it works or else we'll end up in-" "SHUT THE FUCK UP" Vernon said as Trent took out his earbuds as he glared.. Cayden noticed the tense behavior from all of them.. Looking at the screens as they notice the car finally did move towards them. After some minutes, Vernon managed to get the car to the pitstop, whining like a little child as he slammed on the inside of his door to get someone to open it. Due to his rather heavily response of having something broken, the whole team expected him to be in agonizing pain, as he did hold his arm, but now the biggest stress started to pile up. Was he still able to drive.. or would they loose their title. "We cant- OUCH. GENTLE- I think I BROKE MY ARM" Vernon yelled, glaring at all the help he was about to receive.. Trent however, became more serious. "Check him quick. We're falling behind from place 5th to 12th already. There's still a security car upfront.. But once thats gone we will loose any chance on restoring this mistake. Werent you so keen on bringing the title home for your dad?" Trent said as Vernon glared while telling the crew to make sure the car got its tires, got the fuel and got checked if it was safe to drive, which it did. "You're calling me a liar.. I'VE BROKEN SOMETHING. The other one should be SUED, get my laywer immediately" Vernon said with his big mouth, making Trent glare, but Cayden... Oh he was becoming furious. His reckless behavior was about to snap. "We either take this on, and you get back in that goddamn car, or it'll be over. Sueing them or whatever you want to do has to be done afterwards. Now, we NEED to get this car on the road" Trent said angry.. Making Cayden eventually step in. "you're so scared of loosing your name? Why arent you sitting back and take it like an ACTUAL man. You have no broken bone. You wouldnt be able to move it" Cayden said as Vernon was on terror mode at this rate. "you have NO right to talk to me. You're no MCCOY. You're nothing but a fucking parasite. You better stay back or i'll make sure my dad kicks you out for GOOD" Vernon said as he still held his other arm, but one of the nurses did agree it shouldnt be broken.. Maybe a big bruise at most.
The way Cayden heard Vernon speak, was his final straw.. He couldnt goddamn care what he was going to do. He knew Carlo found this competition very important.. But he wanted to prove them wrong on the view they had on himself. Without much of a hesitation, he ran into Vernon's studio, grabbed one of the suits that didnt have the damn logo of the mccoys on there out of pure spite, putted it on with godspeed, grabbed the helmet and decided to walk up to the car and jumped into it without anyone stopping him. It almost seemed now for the news that Vernon had gotten himself back into the game, but as Trent noticed what seemed to be Cayden jumping into that car, and seeing that thing HAD to leave now in order to even get a chance to regain themselves for the mccoys.. Knowing whatever he had to argue with Vernon would be a lost cause.. He just went with it, possibly doing the most illegal thing possible. "Kill them. GO" Trent said as he closed the damn window and gave the 'go'. Within seconds the car drove off.. As Vernon turned to the sound. "Wait. WHO-" He yelled as he ran to the edge, seeing his car dissapear.. For trent realized what was happening, Cayden decided to just go for it. "son of a bitch".. He whispered with a smirk.. Knowing in the dark that reckless youngster had been doing things, but this.. This was the biggest dare he could've pulled, and trent couldnt wait to see how he'd do.
Vernon started to scream, taking the microphone off of trent's workers, trying to make whoever got into his car turn. "WHO DID TAKE MY CAR-" Vernon said as he saw the smirk on Trent's face.. Knowing enough. "GET THAT FUCKING BETRAYER OUT OF MY CAR-" "Sorry Vernon.. He might be the best you got for that 'broken' arm of yours" Trent said as Vernon looked as deadly as possible. "You better wish you have a nice backup for your life.. Because you'll get fired. I'll make sure of that" Vernon said as Trent scoffed. "I'd like to see you try" Trent said as the choice that Cayden made, made him finally show his true colors on how dissaproving he was on the behavior of Vernon as well, despite he knew it would risk his job.
Meanwhile, most assumed that Vernon was the one back in his own car.. The commentators of the whole race were continuing to speak again "Alright- many are still on our repair tracks but will you LOOK at that! It seems Mccoy has picked up faster than we assumed" "Thats great to know Gordon because it was right on time.. Our track is cleared and the race is BACK in the game. Now its awaiting who WILL take that title" both men were talking as Cayden realized what he was doing as well.. Stretching his hands on the wheel before he breathed out. "This shouldnt be too complex.. Lets go" the man smirked before he saw the signs that he could give full speed, having a determined face as he was finally on the tracks he's been wanting to be for YEARS. "and they're OFF." One of the commentators was saying as Vernon in the meantime tried to get through their center, to reveal he was infact not in his car, and trying to get Cayden in jail for whatever activity he was pulling.. That was how extra vernon was. "HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A TRUE LICENSE- GET HIM BACK NOW" Vernon yelled at his crew as they all moreso watched the screens.. All being in a quite disbelief that Vernon's car was already bumped up from 12th place to 5th within the few seconds he was driving.. "for not having a license, he's getting the hang of this better than most in the back" Trent said as he was in awe. Each turn and speed control was far more advanced than trent had expected. He knew Cayden went places and had a very daring energy.. But this.. This was baffling to see. "IS ANYONE EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!" Vernon said as he went to the area his dad and team were sitting.. Trying to call the commentators on trying to stop Cayden or at least get him expelled to never drive again. He got more and more furious to notice he was GOOD. More than just good. Not to mention that Cayden out of precaution deactivated the microphone so no one could yell at him or try and stop this. Meaning as well that this man had no help when driving, making this whole activity extremely dangerous. He couldnt be warned or put through any tips or hints that could potentially save him should it come to it. This was his own choice.. And the most crazy for sure.
Cayden smirked as he was as focused as one could think, noticing the previous driver that tailgated Vernon and make him slam into the side, tried to stop Cayden as well.. Not knowing he wasnt Vernon. With just a low laugh, he managed to dodge the several attempts before passing him wirh speed and pressing firmly on the gas pedal, as if it was his second nature.. making everyone stare more at all the screens that showed all around the area. Eventually, Vernon got contact with the commentators "Hello this is Michael and gordon speaking, you do realize we're in the midst of this race?-" "SOME BLOODY ASSHOLE TOOK MY CAR AND IS ON THE TRACKS RIGHT NOW. YOU NEED TO STOP HIM" Vernon said as both commentators became silent. "Wh- Who is this?" "Its VERNON MCCOY YOU- GET THIS MAN OUT OF MY CAR". The whole group handling the audience, hearing the news all frowned.. Who was in the damn car that was slowly getting closer to the front.. "Who is... In your car then Vernon?" "HE'S MY- TECHNICALLY NOT BLOOD RELATED BUT HE's my- WHATEVER. his name is CAYDEN CRUZE. Make that name be heard so he can be expelled, removed, and taken from any possible race EVER" Vernon said as he wanted to break the phone at this rate, making Alissa, who sat with carlo in the same room.. Overhear some of the people who handle everything.. That there was a sudden. Change in racing.
"Well guys, I just got told the one driving Vernon mccoy's car isnt our usual driver. The racer just called us personally, from his pitstop" Michael said as the whole audience started to make noise. "then who is this secret masked racer driving the vehicle Michael?" Gordon asked as everyone got curious. Carlo and Alissa were just minding their business, as Carlo's immediate reaction was turn to Alissa.. with worry. "well whoever he is, he can drive. To make it all the more interesting for everyone, we even got the confirmation this secret driver does NOT have his license yet." Michael said as Gordon laughed. "illegal or not Michael, this might be the first time I dare say I like to see where this is heading" Gordon said strong, as everyone got cheerful almost, seeing how well Cayden was doing. Meantime, Cayden was getting closer to the front, having upmost control as he sat as steady as one could think, feeling alive... "Common.. You have your first and perhaps final chance. Make it count" Cayden was whispering, noticing no one stopping him yet, so he gave his best.. "I cant believe my eyes Gordon.. But, is our secret driver coming close to the first place" "I believe you're right Michael. He's like a phantom driver, maybe the most fearless I've seen in a while, and unstoppable at it too." Gordon said as he followed up. "He's going at full speed, with incredible precision and no fear. I see no single hesitation, is he going to make it? A rookie, with no license, managing to become 1st in this qualification of these professionals?" The commentators said as the whole crowd started to go crazy, seeing how vernon's car was getting closer to first place.. Doing the impossible. The mccoy team was hoping to perhaps make it to 5th at least.. But cayden, took it a next level. Something the world has never seen so far. "FINAL ROUND, and he's catching up on the one in front row, I cant BELIEVE IT" The commentators couldnt stop yelling about cayden, making the whole audience go mad. Alissa, who was in absolute disbelief, having heard via via its his own son, watching every step as Carlo himself was silent.. Having to realize he was so impressed by this guy, having underestimated him far too much. Cayden became a new phenomon already, and the race wasnt even over. It wasnt even his own car. This rookie.. Was making history.. But he had a feel that despite many were amazed, he was doing the most illegal things right now, possibly having to pay for them later, but this opportunity was something he couldnt let go off. Even to see Vernon's mad face was enough to make his day.
"Come on.. Lets dance" Cayden said as he started crawling close to the one on first place, feeling the car's engine was getting close to its limits, but it didnt stop him.. He proved to himself he can feel if he gets too far.. The final stretch was getting closer and closer.. The whole audience was going mad, cheering for this unknown racer on one of the most difficult courses there were. To beat those that wanted to qualify for the big guys, and them getting wrecked by a new racer who had never shown its face yet... Just the thought of that was crazy right? A new legend to test the grounds, and possibly spice older racer's their life, to challenge them again, throw things alive. Everything Cayden was doing was right above the edge of safe.. This man would push anything that he could. "Is he going to do it?" alissa said as she stepped closer to the screens, seeing the car getting right next to the one on first place, as the engine of vernon's car was getting roasted.. But it still held on, which seemed impossible. "A little more.." Cayden whispered as he went as fast as he could, almost flying as he felt the car about to spike above what it could take, but he figured.. This might be his only shot before getting removed from the races for good, so why not take what he has now.. Just that extra bit of fearless energy managed to get him right upfront.. In the final lap. "I cant believe it. He's ahead.. HE'S GOING TO MAKE IT. I CANT BELIEVE MY EYES" The commentators kept yelling as the noise of vernon's care echoed over the whole course.. Before he actually made it as number one on the race.. Vernon's entire crew started to jump, yell on the fact they were number 1 for once. Making the whole entire audience jump out of their chairs as Alissa was silent.. Turning to Carlo.. "I knew he had.. a feel for this but.. I never expected him to pull something like this. I'm sorry Carlo. I didnt know he'd.." Alissa said as Carlo raised his head, but had the sweetest expression. "I underestimated him, thats my mistake for not looking past his possible opportunities than him stealing our cars every now and then 'innocently'.. but you must realize my love, he did just cross about 10 rules that are unacceptable.. There's no way he can be considered to continue in this world if you start like this" Carlo said as Alissa nodded slowly, receiving a kiss on her hand before Carlo decided to go down.. and see how this could escalate.
Cayden smirked as he noticed he actually kicked everyone's butt, but after coming back to the cockpit, he realized that there were some things waiting for him. At least he made a print. Trent walkes up to the car that smelled burned almost.. Seeing a bit of smoke of the heat of the car and seeing the damage on the wheels.. and yet, the car maintained to be fine. He had the senses for it, trent thought, as he opened the window to let Cayden out. "Not bad kid.. You hid alot of this away huh. I knew you had some type of feel but.. this?..." Trent said as he softly shook his hand, before Cayden heard some aggresive stomping his way as most people clapped at first.. "YOU ALL BETTER FUCKING STOP YOUR CHEERING." Vernon said as Cayden was ready to fight. "you wanted to save your family's name? Here is the one time I actually helped you. I FIXED IT" Cayden said reckless as he knew he put gasoline into the fire. "NO you didnt help me. you didnt fucking fix it. You wanted to take a piss on me and my whole fucking family. MY CAR IS ROASTED. Do you have ANY IDEA HOW MANY RULES YOU BROKE? YOU'LL BE DISQUALIFIED ANYHOW BECAUSE YOU WENT WITH MY CAR. MY CREW. YOU DONT BELONG HERE. YOU'RE SO DEAD CRUZE" Vernon said as he wanted to start a fight, grabbing Cayden at his clothing as some of his pitcrew pulled them apart immediately.
"ENOUGH."
The silence was heard when Carlo called it once.. Creating tension in the room as he made sure everyone stepped back. "Cayden. Follow me" Carlo said as Cayden frowned.. Showing no fear again.. But Vernon was just smirking wide to assume he'd get the worst possible.. "Just get inside, answer all questions. Be honest." Carlo said threatening in his own way, making Cayden frown as he entered the room.. Seeing many interviewers, but specificially a big investor he recognized from several racers, but only the best.. "So this.. Is our phantom driver?" the head person of the group said as Cayden nodded "Yes sir".
"Whats your name?" He asked as the tension was spiking.. "The name's Cayden Cruze". "Alright Cayden.. From what I've heard, you're a rather new driver. You've possibly heard of the various rules you've crossed illegally, in order to do what you just managed to do" "I'm aware.." "And you still stand by it. If you had a chance like that again, with its risks, would you do it?" "I would. I still stand by it.."
"Well good news Cruze, you might be thrown out of a group you've never been with.. Or registrated, so.. You might wanna look at your own" The man said as Cayden showed a slight surprised look.. "Our head racer.. Is getting close to retirement, and we like supporting the more exceptional. and since you're placed on number 1 and made history, despite it might not be set in stone, getting you that license wont be too much of a problem" The man said as Cayden needed some time to process. "Dont get me wrong, but.. So far, everyone in my surroundings, made aware that due my actions, i cant possibly get a chance to ever return on these grounds". "Maybe never on these grounds again but from seeing your stance, your energy.. That wouldnt stop you.. you'll have to start on your own, from scratch, and we want you. We think you'll become a danger to the professionals, and its exactly what we hoped to find. We just didnt know what exactly" the man said as Cayden felt more strong in his shoes. Finally, he got a righteous response.. No longer having to be in the shadows either. His reckless behavior got him where he wanted to be.. "so, what do you say Cruze?"
"I'm all in".
Within minutes, it was the biggest hit on the news for everyone to see.. Becoming a worldwide phenominon.. Cayden cruze shall soon hit the real grounds, driving among those that were known for years, challenging those... Who knows what might occur or happen..

Everyone, meet Cam, @emmacreatures Spidersona 💙
Emma and I have been working SO diligently on his design and story over the course of the last few days ever since we saw Across The Spiderverse. We knew ealry on that we wanted to create another OC x Canon AU and I always feel so honored to get to design Emma’s characters for her. I had such a fantastic time helping bring this guy to life and our collaborations will forever be my favorite thing ever. Let’s just say that I am SO stoked to get draw more of him from now on - as well as further explore his relationship with Miguel as part of our AU.

BEING FOLLOWED
Hello👁👄👁 Back from the dead with a follow up!
https://www.tumblr.com/emmacreatures/713882220790775808/trying-a-way-out
Its been taking forever but waiting with these helps more with perfecting what can be perfected in personal perspective! A follow up on "Trying a way out"💕 Featuring a lot of Lyle x Ter'ran and Ka'am and Quaritch! Hope you guys enjoy! I'm busy on the follow up on this, but since it takes a while, I figured instead of one massive story, to divide it into two!
As the silence hit, Ka'am, who walked over to his own corner, grabbed some of his homemade powerful tobacco.. Watching his prisoner who had no chains, robes or anything that would hold him here. For Quaritch exhaled and got himself to focus better after sensing all scents around him, he knew he had to focus well in order to get out of there, with Lyle.. Who seemed to have been a pain in the ass as always. If it wasnt for his bold behavior, there werent here by now. "I feel like your nature isnt so common with negotiation. But I was hoping we could come down to some kind of agreeance. Something that would suit us both" Quaritch decided to take a gentle approach, leaving Ka'am to glare while he inhaled some of the smoke before letting it blow out through his nose, putting his pipe away. "Why would you think I'd care to negotiate.." Ka'am replied, allowing the tension to build up, for Quaritch narrowed his eyes a bit while he didnt move. "You wouldnt want to watch those two for ages would you. I feel like you have better things to do. I can take those off your shoulders" Quaritch dared to say, keeping an eye on Ka'am who looked him in the eye once, before he slowly lingered in the room with a threatening aura. "I have men and women to do that for me, so that excuse shall not help you" Ka'am said before he stood still, but Quaritch wasnt done yet. "You or them, it takes a lot of time.. Its still thrown away time in my eyes." "So what do you suggest? Run off, and take your kind with you, whatever you may be" Ka'am said with a glare. Quaritch still had not explained what he was exactly. Sure, he had navi skin. Navi breathing.. Navi heartbeat, but his muscles were outstanding compared to the usual. His ears were different, the hair was uncommon. Despite Ka'am's major curiosity which was uncommon on this rate that he was on.. He felt like it distracted him, and he was tired of having to watch them. It was confusing. Part of him wanted to know every detail of them.. Or more so, him. But he knew this could make him distracted in a way that would show a weak link.. and thats the thing that pissed Ka'am off for now.
Not only that, but having found out somehow his second in command, Ter'ran, had been mixing himself in a way he couldnt figure out yet.. It made Ka'am make decisions two steps ahead before people could catch up. he felt betrayed by the fact Ter'ran had kept it a secret, in the hope no one would see, but like Quaritch, Ka'am saw everything and would find out sooner or later. Meanwhile as Quaritch noticed Ka'am thinking, trying to come with the best solution, Naraya ran into the room, bowing gently before saying what happened. "Our great leader.. The prisoner, has woken up, and is very.. defensive about anything. He wont low down the voice either". That was the final drop for Ka'am. "i'm tired of having to deal with your kind. You might as well take yourself out, your 'friend' included" Ka'am said as he glared at Quaritch, who was surprised about the sudden kick out, but he could sense this wasnt going to be easy despite a door literally just opened. Having given a small sign to naraya, she poked Quaritch with a stick to make him go in a specific direction, noticing he wasnt having it "Keep that thing away from me-" "Move alien" naraya said despite she had her ears folded.. Quaritch was intimidating, but she knew she had to follow orders from ka'am as she always did. As they all had moved up towards the specific cells, Naraya had gotten the hint and info from Ka'am to open the doors, for Lyle took his chance to immediately go out, but Ter'ran.. Sensed this wasnt going to be fun. "You both. Leave the terrain.. Away, and do not look back." "Oh? So now your beloved leader decided to let us go. I aint going without him" Lyle said as Quaritch glared, knowing he was going to be the biggest pain in the ass. "Lyle. I'm your only way out-" "I dont fucking care. I dont even want it" Lyle said as Quaritch tried to talk to Lyle, but he really seemed ultimately pissed off despite all of this was his own fault.
"no. fight me all you want. " he said as he noticed Ka'am watching them all behave, as his eyes did give him the major chills, yet the idiot.. decided to go over the limits. "You know.. You- The way you treat your men is insane. You're bull. You treat your second in command like garbage, like a PRISONER. How sick do you have to be to pull that huh?" Lyle said as he approached Ka'am, pointing at him as it was the biggest danger one could think off.. two followers of Ka'am protected him by holding their bow and arrow towards Lyle, but Ka'am.. Who had a silent rage inside of him already, watched Lyle as he saw him far below himself.. "you want to get us killed?!" Ter'ran whispered for Ka'am watched them in silence, looking at Ter'ran before showing one small sight to lyle.. It took a while before any message came through again, the whole room felt extremelt tense. "Alright.." Ka'am only said, making Ter'ran feel a chill down his spine. "Ter'ran-" "You son of a bitch, dont you dare hurt him-" "LYLE." The second Lyle assumed Ka'am would do something cruel, Quaritch stepped in before Lyle could get them all killed, calling him firmly as the silence then hit again.. "Is it true?" Ka'am asked like it was the most normal thing there was, watching Ter'ran step closer to Ka'am who had called him before. Two guards held Lyle away from this all, as he watched closely.. Protective. "Do you wish to not be here" Ka'am said low and dark, for Ter'ran felt hopeless in this whole situation.. "I-.." Ter'ran couldnt talk, but it made it clear for Ka'am.. With a simple nod, he made Naraya step forward, for she grabbed his arm, and cut off a single piece of leather at his arm.. With that, he now was banned from the group. Broken loyalty. "Let them go, far away from here" Ka'am demanded as everyone made Lyle, Quaritch and Ter'ran now form together in a group.. "Step one foot among these grounds, and I'll kill you myself. Your group included" Ka'am gave his last warning towards Quaritch and the others, stepping away as they had no chance to say anything anymore. Ter'ran knew what hit him, but feeling Lyle so close and protective, made him focus on getting out of there before the arrows would follow..
"Common.. Lets get the hell out of here" Lyle said as he noticed Ter'ran being silent, going over his arm that used to have that specific piece around it.. Before frowning of some kind of anger and getting out of there.. "They dont deserve you- You know that right" Lyle kept on confirming that he found Ka'am's behavior a piece of shit.. Seeing Ter'ran hurt in some type of way made Lyle especially furious.. But at this rate, he hadnt thought of how Quaritch and the rest of the team would respond to Lyle's invite for Ter'ran. "you can be part of us now. Its gonna be so much better than how he treated you.-" "so he's suddenly part of our group?" Quaritch said as he glared at Lyle, mainly because this whole occurence was his fault. "if you want to fight me for it be my guest." Lyle said very pissed, protecting Ter'ran in his own way while they went out of the part that Ka'am claimed of his own. Just the glare of Quaritch at this rate sent Lyle to furious mode. "you really want to test me right now colonel?" He said almost as an invite to a fight.. Making Ter'ran come through. "Come Lyle.. We've had enough for one day" He said as he kept on walking, but Lyle kept watching Quaritch who showed no mercy at this rate. "watch your tongue corporal. You've done enough illegal stuff for one day" he said pissed as well, looking back as he could just feel those piercing eyes from Ka'am burn into his back.. Looking around a bit to see if he could find them, before following both Ter'ran and Lyle away from here.
After a while, Ter'ran noticed they were out of Ka'am's territory, mentioning it to the two for Lyle and Quaritch had a rocky road the whole time with each other.. "If you would've just listened and not taken your own decisions for ONCE, We're lucky to be even alive" Quaritch eventually said as they had an ongoing argument for hours now.. Making Lyle reach his boiling point. "Since when are you scared? I'm so sick and tired of you all the sudden taking different routes. Fucking admit you have a weak spot because of-" "no. he's right." Ter'ran interupted as he leaned against a tree, being less forward than usual because the realization of the banishment hit him.. "This is one of the most rare occassions that any prisoners got out. In the years i've been around Ka'am. this is a first. Just acknowledge it please. Stop making a fight all the time" Ter'ran said as Quaritch glared but Lyle almost smirked, thinking this wasnt aimed at him. "I dont take orders kid." he replied, for Ter'ran folded his ears and glared. "I wasnt talking to you" he said before continuing to walk for Lyle realized it was aimed at him.. Trying to shake it off a little as he sensed Ter'ran wasnt feeling it, which made him more cautiois for once. As he continued walking, the other two followed, doing the same. "Well despite your lame ass 'friend' or leader whatever you may call it... If its so rare for him to do so, why did he do it anyhow" "I honestly dont know. He never leaves anyone alive.. No prisoner ever came out of there" Ter'ran said as he kept walking, feeling a little bit more at ease now that they were out of his grounds. "We're 'offically' off his huntinh grounds, so we should be safe from here on out.." Ter'ran said before the group from Quaritch did a sneak attack towards Ter'ran, making sure that he wasnt going anywhere.. But of course they couldnt know that Ter'ran wasnt there to lure them or do anything bad.. But it sure drove Lyle mad.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM YOU FUCKING-" Lyle said as he fought his own men the second they dared to touch Ter'ran or pushed him onto the ground with hiccups due to the man's build and strength.. Eventually being able to pull them away or even hit them firmly.. Leaving Quaritch to call for them to bacj off. "He's no harm... Yet. But keep an eye on him. On Lyle too.. Especially after today" Quaritch said with a glare as he passed the teo, as the squad followed.. "You're okay?" "I'm fine" Ter'ran said pissed, pushing himself up again while hitting Lyle's hand to make him step back a little, before following the group, making Lyle who watched Ter'ran's body language just shake his head. "The hell you're not." he whispered before following.. All going back to bridgehead.
Quaritch had not explained in detail to the group what happened, for he himself felt like he didnt feel like explaining. There was so much to it, but he did make sure to eat and drink well.. since that was something Ka'am had no mercy for.. As he got himself back together, he kept an eye in Lyle and the so called Ter'ran.. Who still was not feeling comfortable.. Despite Quaritch still had quite some questions, he had his own mind swirling. Full of thoughts, wanting answers. Just merely being drawn to something he hadnt seen before. But most importantly, almost what seemed to be daydreaming about deadly eyes that seemed different to him... Meanwhile as Quaritch just felt like puzzling in his own complicated mind, Lyle was right next to Ter'ran who was not behaving like himself in his eyes. Lyle however made sure everyone backed off far enough when the recom squad wanted to try and put ter'ran somewhere locked.. Considering he was a 'wild' navi to them..
"Tell me what the fuck there is and quit the bullshit Ter'ran. I aint know you like this.." Lyle said as he stayed near despite his frustration. Seeing his loved one so near made him feel all kinds of things, and now that they were out of ka'am's control for a bit, he didnt feel like parting an inch anytime soon. "You really dont realize huh.. Your peanut brain sure seems active" Ter'ran said snappy, making Lyle glare but not in a true angry way. "I've been banned. Lyle-" "The fuck- When did that happen?" Lyle said obliviously in which Ter'ran sighed so loudly. "god I just want to hit you so badly-" "What way?" Lyle said with a smirk as he stood in a way he knew Ter'ran would love.. But instead he did receive a slap in the face by ter'ran. "I wanted to say be my fucking guest if it helps you- Just hold on for a minute cowboy" Lyle said rather direct, going over his cheek that he got hit with before stepping more close to Ter'ran who leaned against a metal wall somewhwre in bridgehead.. His arms crossed now.. Despite all he didnt even feel like fighting when Ter'ran hit him in the face.. He could tell the man was destressed.. "JUST- i dont like seeing you like this. Okay?? I know you as someone who's as daring and bold as I am.. Whats gotten into you?" Lyle said as Ter'ran glared almost with a follow up of a hiss. "you see this, its- Why would I even explain at this rate, you're too oblivious to realize-" "TELL me now or I will make sure you'll talk" Lyle said as Ter'ran sighed more soft.. Pointing at his arm.
"Each member of our clan.. Would make this thing around our arm.. Its stuff that only breaks when you cut it with a specific knife. Its supposedy should be there at all times, like a loyalty. I broke the loyalty, so I'm banned from the grounds until further notice" "And this bugs you because??? You've always been a rebel. Do you even remember what we started with" Lyle said out in the open, being focused on his man as Ter'ran pushed him away a bit in a TSK way.. before replying. "I always was a bit of an outcast.. Now I dont belong to anything-" "That 'friend' of yours sure made a big ass impacr on you. Who the fuck cares if you're part of something. The way that.. Kalal dude treated you.. Thats no respect, or good measure.. He shitted on you in ways I didnt even know people could-" "Its ka'am-" Ka'am-Kalal he can suck it. No need to defend his name here Ter'ran because newsflash.. He BANNED you" Lyle said pretty angry, before sighing, letting his own rough hand wipe over his face. "But hey- His loss.. you're part of our group now-" "Says who.." "Says me" Lyle said pretty damn clear, taking it really serious for Ter'ran looked around. "The last time your welcoming group was near, they tried to lock me up. Thats quite an invite" Ter'ran said realistically, making Lyle look around with a glare in case they tried anything. "They have to get used to someone whose intimidating.. I bet you can floor them all.. I'd happily watch that" Lyle said before he noticed Ter'ran's ears fold out of slight discomfort.. "Hey- Realize as well.. Look at us, back again" Lyle said as he stepped closer to wrap his hands around the man's bare waist.. Pulling him closer as Ter'ran avoided a little bit of eye contact, watching Lyle's chest while listening.. "You belong to me okay. This is my world. You're part of it. You'll always have a home here. No matter if they'll make it difficult for me. I'll kick everyone's ass" He said as Ter'ran eventually laughed once "You have no idea how stupid that sounds" he said before looking up.. Making the realization hit Lyle was indeed back after all those years.. As their eyes met in a place where they were allowed to.. Ter'ran almost felt his breath taken away for a second as he could see clear throigh them.. Which made him reach out to Lyle's face.. Going over his skin and cheek..
"You're not gonna cry are you? I can see why.. I baffle alot of people" "I fucking hate you" ter'ran said before Lyle sensed someone passing them "Yeah keep on walking PAL. You fucking better-" Lyle said as he was like the worst pitbull, glaring and almosg hissing at the individual who passed them who pretty much ran away at this point.. Small things like that were exactly the things that Ter'ran was obsessed about.. With that.. Ter'ran just leaned more into Lyle before making him look back.. "So where were we?" Lyle said swept away the second he felt assurance from Ter'ran.. something he so deeply missed. His other half. Before ter'ran hummed.. Loving to see where this man is heading with his mind.. But even before anything could escalate.. Lyle heard footsteps coming towards them. "You've got to be-" "Easy Lyle. I rather not fire you for being inconsiderate to your environment" Quaritch said rather clear as he glared "I aint ashamed. You know full well you gave no fucks back in the day. Get your own" Lyle said without much thought as he kept on holding on Ter'ran, having no intentions on letting go for the next hours. Before he sighed. "What do you want Colonel" he asked as Quaritch looked at Ter'ran. "I need you to show some more respect. And second, do not allow me to catch you both out in the open. You owe me an explanation. Now go before you disturb everyone around you-" Quaritch said loud and clear for Lyle was about to have an argument, but Ter'ran who at this rate knew better, pulled Lyle along to go somewhwre more private.. Even Quaritch knew what was to occur, sighing as he looked around before watching the sun turn to darkness..
Quaritch was feeling a little out of place for once. Not that he shared that with the rest.. He was secretive in his own way.. His mind kept on questioning things he, despite all his own experiences which he had many off, had never felt or seen before. Being a navi now, it was easy to just go outside and take a breather, unlike being a human, trapped in those 'containers with oxygen'.. Always being watched.. He wanted some peace of mind, but along that thought, he wanted to dig.. see where things could lead. It was like a whirlwind inside of his brain. While he wanted to find some way out of it, all the sudden, while sitting outside with eclipse, he swore to have seen something watch him.. For Quaritch sat on the metal floor that poked slightly over the jungle below him.. He narrowed eyes as he sat up.. Unlike most who would call 'hello' he just waited, before hearing something move in the bushes..
Out of pure instinct, he grabbed his gun and pointed, just waiting for any type of movement. But nothing seemed to be there. At least, that was what whatever there was wanted you to think. Not shooting but waiting, he decided to stand there for as long as he felt like, eventually hearing some type of movement, but invisible to the eye. Quaritch's gut told him something was out there.. But he couldnt see a thing.. Making him stand there for a whole hour before going back in.. At this rate, it was about past midnight, so most doctors, scientists and most employees were off to bed.. Quaritch, who at first was aiming for the same thing, saw an opportunity when he saw the unused computers, deciding to do one more check to see if his gut was wrong or right.. Turning the camera towards the outside area he had been sitting, he activated the specific lense in which you could see the temperatures.. Noticing a slight figure, around the bush he heard movement for a split second. He couldnt make out of it of what it was.. but after trying several lenses that the whole system had.. He finally saw it. A whole thanator had been laying on the ground, as silent as the wind, for no one to notice, but Quaritch deeply inside did.. 'why would a thanator rest there.. Or more importantly, watch.' he thought, narrowing his eyes as his tail subconsciously moved a little. Even if he would've shot, the thanator's skin is too thick to get through.. No matter what would happen, that animal would be able to stay under the radar. He realized these animals are much more advanced than the ones back at earth..
But Quaritch had a feeling this was much more thought out than what it seemed.. Through the electronics, he couldnt see much other than the shape of a thanator.. Making him grab his binoculars.. And to his surprise notices right there, the animal went back in more deep into the jungle.. Watching it through the binoculars, he noticed one specific scar.. One of an animal he had seen upclose not a few hours ago. "Son of a bitch.." he whispered.. Figuring it out. That definitely made him push even further.. He was wide awake. He didnt want to sleep.. All he wanted to do now, is track the damn beast, see where it would lead to.. Without much distractions, Quaritch shut any relation to his search down before going to his own room, getting some things ready.
As the thanator was crawling through the jungle, like the best hunter around, almost replicating his owner's behavior.. It perfectly walked up to Ka'am's liar.. All ka'am's followers usually stepped aside for his thanator at any moment. Ka'am, who was sitting on his somewhat throne, breathing out the usual smoke as he certainly was having more of it due to the big occurences the last hours... he sighed.. Having his eyes closed as he needed the extra.. Nicotine or whatever was in that heavy stuff he smoked. Hearing the breathing of his thanator, he opened his eyes as he snapped the large animal to come near him, right next to his throne. As it lend out one of his connecting pieces to make tsaheylu.. Ka'am quickly connected his own Kuru before watching what his thanator had been watching.. Keeping an eye on the specific recom that had seemed to itch Ka'am with curiosity. Looking through every detail that the Thanator had been watching.. Ka'am somehow now through the animal's memory looked better in Quaritch' eyes, throwing him off almost.. As if he felt like the man was having the same thoughts as he did.. Which would've been the first in his entire existence...
Due to that exact thought, Ka'am just abruptly disconnected his Kuru before gently going over his thanator's side of the face. 'Well done..' He showed in appreciation, exhaling once more with his smoke before stepping up.. "Lets get you something nice to eat.." He whispered in navi, walking out of his room and out of his whole 'home' before wanting to hunt something down for the thanator to eat. Of course the huge animal could hunt on his own, but he had been spying on Quaritch for Ka'am for hours.. and Ka'am with hunting for thr animal, showed his appreciation, and allows him to save his energy. As they walked out, one of ka'am's followers, watched them as Naraya saw them leave as well. "You'd almost say he'd care more for that beast than us.". With an easy 'TEHE', Naraya scared the one person, correcting them on saying such a thing. Ka'am did care.. In his own way, but if some didnt show that respect, there was no way he'd even consider to show his. Naraya knew this, and she was as loyal as one could think off.

Important announcement!
Emma @emmacreatures and I talked about Ka’am and his personality a while ago thanks to an amazing soundtrack I came across that reminded me of him and in the whole process we decided to give him a little redesign that better reflects his personality.
So I asked myself what a fierce and twisted Na’vi warrior who distances himself from his own clan and sides with the Recoms could potentially look like. Old Ka’am looked a bit too harmless for someone whose personality and backstory is actually rather shady and dark. Now his face and aura truly resembles his anger and hatred and independence and I’m super pleased with how he turned out! I’m always so happy to get to design Emma’s characters and I’m so happy that she also likes this new concept so much! To say I’m excited for these developments/improvement would be an understatement.
Reminder: Ka’am belongs to @emmacreatures and he is part of an AU we both develop together, I just design her OCs for her!

Trying a way out
Back with a follow up on the last story!
Working a few days on this. Feeling a little insecure and this whole week already has been a big bumpy ride with hospital visits and getting all kinds of tests :') So huzzah.. But tonight I managed to write most down that I hope to be happy with.. Especially the last bits i'm very stoked about, but I hope you guys enjoy! Featuring Ka'amxquaritch, lyle and ter'ran in there and a bit more!
As Quaritch followed Ka'am right behind him, he had quickly noticed that Ka'am wasnt showing everything he could. The man could sense despite Ka'am was well at hiding in his surroundings and could easily move around.. He would use some type of animal, but he was walking at this rate.. making him a little suspicious.
The second Quaritch sensed something was off as he was very experienced, he slowed down his pace, as surprisingly, Ka'am was walking rather fast.. Which threw him off. "Whats the rush.." He said rather challenging, making Ka'am glare as he wasnt a fan of how the man spoke to him. Ignoring the fact the man called him out somewhat, Ka'am continued to confidently walk to a specific place, being determined as he already was a step ahead, but Quaritch sensed it.. But at this rate, couldnt exactly sense what would occur.. For Ka'am was rather mysterious to say the least, unlike something he had experienced yet.
Ka'am had sent off his thanator in secret to alert he wasnt coming back alone.. Naraya, who noticed the massive animal approach without Ka'am, made them aware of what he had planned, so they went into the direction the thanator looked at.. being trained so well that he could help him out.. "Its our Olo'eyktan. We need to go to the deeps" She said in navi' for everyone except Ter'ran followed.. Reason was, the man ended up tied up himself mentally. Ka'am didnt trust any of it, and Naraya knew Ka'am would dissapprove, so by that.. She decided Ter'ran shouldnt join them on whatever Ka'am managed to catch this time. Ontop of that.. after noticing he had let Lyle out of his robes.. She personally had put him back.. "Awe common. You're not letting me fight a woman are you?" were his final last words before Naraya showed he should've kept his mouth shut. Having been in some kind of prison at their place, in which she had the keys, she glared at Ter'ran, who she surprisingly hadnt locked up as well. That was Ka'am's decision to make. "You. Stay, and dont move" Naraya said with a low tongue, making Ter'ran glare. "You're not next In command. I am" Ter'ran said as she glared. "But I do not hide secrets from him. You'll pay for it. If you'll try and get yourself out of this with him, I'll personally put an arrow through both your chests" She said threatening before leaving.. Making Ter'ran realize he indeed did not have an army behind him.. He had his love, Lyle, but as soon as Ka'am would be back, he most likely would have to pay for his sins. "Where the hell are they going?" Lyle said as he was sitting on the ground pissed, locked in some special metal container they had made themselves from scraps. He originally thought he could break it.. But the clan knew how to work with it. "The deeps is a specific place we go to, in secret. Its far away from everything else.. Usually a luring place" Ter'ran said without much thought, making Lyle frown. "You mean like a meetup place, or 'we're catching prey' kinda place" Lyle asked pretty damn smart, not being second in command for no reason.. making Ter'ran think it over. "Can be both.." he said, making Lyle sit on his ass in the cell he was stuck. "How long will they be gone for?" Lyle kept thinking on a way to break out, especially since his ego was hurt for the fact a female threw him in the cell he was stuck in.. "Not long enough.." Ter'ran said a sigh.. Looking at the man before he'd look at their entrance, sensing he'd gotten himself in trouble already.
As Ka'am was walking to the deeps upfront, Quaritch still followed, but frowning as he kept eyes around his surroundings. He felt watched again, not nearly as bad as in the beginning when Ka'am stared at him.. But he did have the feeling he wasnt alone.. "I can sense you're not a chatty kinda guy.. But the way you're silent aint so cosy when walking through the woods" the man said a little sarcastic, keeping an eye on him for he noticed Ka'am hadnt said a word for a long while.. Feeling like the man was thinking ten steps ahead, and Quaritch wanted to be on that same level.. "Why should I be talking to a stubborn alien type navi, to lower myself to your kind?" Ka'am started speaking as he could sense his clan was around.. So was his thanator. "Getting comfortable are we now" Quaritch replied rather annoyed, hearing how he spoke to him.. "I'd watch your-" Before Quaritch could say anything, he heard and noticed several Na'vi run up to him, but the man came prepared.. Fighting back as he was about to grab his guns, which was exactly what Ka'am wanted to happen.. to seem the 'hero', he raised his hand, and made one call which made them stop. "Stop" was all he said.. Making some of his clan frown. "But.. Our mighty leader, why should we-" one of his clan members said in na'vi, but Quaritch who had his knife ready in his hand, glared at all of them for his ears twitched, listening as he knew some Na'vi. "Let him follow us, do not hurt him.. He's here to get his 'friend' back" Ka'am said with disgust.. Making Quaritch glare at all of them before they backed off. "Follow us" Ka'am said in english, making Quaritch slowly follow while keeping his eyes out.. 'thats odd.. I felt like it was a trap for me to walk into' Quaritch glared as he thoight along. 'quite a protective clan..' he kept on thinking. It made sense his clan wanted to protect his leader, but why did ka'am himself come out on the first place if his men and women could do it.. thats what he thought. While keeping an eye on everything, he just followed along.. eventually noticing more thicker jungle that he couldnt remember as much as he wanted to.
"Our great leader.. Why arent we taking him down-" "Do not question him.. Cant you learn" Naraya interupted one of the clan members who wanted to ask Ka'am why he was doing what he did.. It was disrespectful to look at it like that.. Making Ka'am rather comfortable to know Naraya knew how to train the others to even respect him more. It were small things, but thats what he appreciated.
Eventually arriving at their secret hideout, Quaritch was guarded by a few, entering the area for he watched around. It was on the inside of a massive tree.. Something of what he saw on screens before, but seeing it in person was something else. Eventually being inside, seeing the structure, which seemed far different than hometree.. He noticed some of the clan members slowly backing off for Ka'am told them to.. "So now what.." Quaritch said a little pissed for being baby sitted all the time, making Ka'am raise his head once in a direction for Quaritch to follow while Ka'am walked behind him slowly, already having made hidden hand signals to get some stronger clan members nearby..
"Colonel-" Lyle immediately called for Quaritch entered the specific room. "Thank christ.. How did you get in here. Where's the rest?" Lyle asked as he was so relieved his leader was around, making Quaritch glare a little. "You had to go out there by yourself.. And look what happened" Quaritch said pissed, making him look at the cell before he sensed Ka'am look at Quaritch again.. "I didnt know i'd be tackled by several navi.. Give this man a break will you" Lyle said with a glare back, despite he was happy to see Quaritch. "Why didnt you get tackled?" Lyle asked for Quaritch turned to Ka'am this time, but before he could say anything, Ka'am only nodded his head once to see five men out of the shadows tackle Quaritch down.. Making him hiss and growl.. "Son of a bitch-" he only said, making Ka'am stand from a distance still "You really thought I'd just let you wander around here in my territory. Not on my watch" Ka'am backstabbed Quaritch just like that for his own good, using him just a little bit for ka'am pointed that he didnt want the man to be in a cell as well just like Lyle.. No.. He wanted the man stuck to a pole, away from Lyle just to be sure.. "So it all was a damn trick huh.. make it seem i could just walk into here, you sparing me when the group arrived." Quaritch said very angry.. groaning as he was tied up very tight.. Making him save his energy by just sitting, stuck with his hands behind his back at the pole.. Yet surprisingly, seeing that Ka'am pointed at Ter'ran, to be tied up as well. "Put him in the cell.." Ka'am said as he didnt even look back at Quaritch, leaving the room for Ter'ran tried to fight his way out of it "NO- Let me explain-" Ter'ran said strong, but despite his beefy structure, there was no way 4 navi men could be stopped by him on his own..
despite Ter'ran and ka'am's past.. He did not tolerate whatever he had done before. It may lessen later on, but for now, as Ter'ran sunk through, he was tied up in a cell, next to his love, but apart.
As some silence and time had passed.. Quaritch finally caught up on remembering what Ka'am said, having focused on everything else but that. "thanks alot Wainfleet" Quaritch said rather threatening for he turned to his cell with his eyes. "care to explain what you fucked around with" the man said as Lyle got offended. "HEY DONT LOOK AT ME. YOU WANT TO BRING THIS UP NOW?! . Not my fault you have a soft spot for them-" Lyle daringly said so, making Quaritch get real angry. "You shut your mouth -" "Speak for yourself." Lyle glared.. Having a good ol' small fight before Lyle was too exhausted after a while despite his ego was immense.. Ending it up by falling asleep in his cell.. For Ter'ran abd him leaned against the same wall from each side.. Having closure in some way.. Making Quaritch attentively watch everything around him for he could easily stay up for hours on end..
Hour after hour, a new clan member would watch everyone, for they'd take turns.. Quaritch glared at each and everyone of them.. Before he realized an entire night passed.. No food, no water had been given, which made Quaritch realize this was a serious business. Being a real prisoner in a.. what seemed different clan than before.. Not part of hometree or the omatikayan.. Letting it sink in while his brain kept on going. After looking down at his watch, hoping the signal would be strong enough for the recoms to find them.. He sighed to notice the odd secret place they were at, was too much under the ground to be able to receive or give signal. Ka'am possibly thought of each thing, and Quaritch seemed to recognize the pattern quite fast. 'great..' he thought for a bit, at first not allowing him to sleep.. But eventually as several hours passed, he felt like he had to. No sunlight came through the place, so the idea of day and night was hard to feel at all... Making everyone feel weaker who wasnt used to staying so in the dark.
Slowly waking up with a groan.. noticing everyone else was still knocked out as well.. He noticed most of his weaponry had sneakily been taken off him.. Possibly when he was too exhausted to even feel anything in his deep sleep. Quaritch almost felt a little offended people had come near to him.. But for now, he had to figure a way to get out..
He sighed deeply before noticing a clan member sat up, having done his turn.. As they almost seemed annoyed they had to watch.. "Why do we have to watch the prisoners all the time.. We usually dont have to this strictly" one said to the other in na'vi, but Quaritch, who had been learning na'vi through time to be ahead of the others, picked up a thing or two. "dont ask me.. If you feel bold enough, ask the leader" the other replied in na'vi, making Quaritch narrow his eyes a bit. Not having had any food or water was starting to hurt a little, but thanks to the navi body, he was able to endure much more than a human could.. Especially in these conditions.. Just as the two navi were being quite daring in what they were speaking off, one of the two suddenly froze to notice ka'am come out of the shadows. Exhaling his green smoke, the other who now had caught up on the fact Ka'am was so close, swallowed and turned to him as well.. "Master.. I-".. Ka'am's eyes spoke sentences at times, glaring at the two. 'Big words on my ways of work. You should be thankful to be here..' his eyes said, for the two already almost begged for mercy. "No food for a week.. May that bestow your loyalty somewhere else." Ka'am said threatening, for he just degraded the two to different work.. But instead of calling a new clan member to sit and watch, he decided to sit there himself for a while.
Walking inside the room, he passed the cells, seeing Ter'ran asleep.. but leaned against the same wall that the alien laid. Raising his head first out of disgust, wanting to pull them apart despite they both were asleep.. and Ter'ran seemed to hold Lyle's hand through the cell bars.. Seeming very attached to say the least. making him glare before sitting down at a rather suitable place for himself. Deciding to not tear them apart.. Which was a surprising move.
Quaritch, who somehow was the first to sense the man's intentions, watched this rather disgusted glare when he got rid of the guards.. and watched how Ter'ran and Lyle showed signs of attachment.. He assumed he'd either wake them and demand them to sit apart, or even pull Ter'ran away, but the colonel noticed a confused , almost surprised stance from Ka'am who almost hissed at it before sitting down. "Seems you do have a bit of empathy" Quaritch decided to risk it all, speaking to Ka'am who immediately turned to Quaritch, with a deadly glare that said it all. "Do you dare to claim what my intentions are. What do you seem to assume what I intend?" The man said rather offended, Smoking some of the powerful stuff as he held it in his hand before putting it to the side, letting the intense smoke go out of his nostrills before standing up. "People must've backstabbed you often" Quaritch said with narrowed eyes, sensing the man has endured pain.. Especially for he saw the big 'glow up' of what he used to be.. Being in someway cocky and daring, he watched Ka'am approach him, as he smoothly pulled out his knife, deciding to kneel infront of the man who was still stuck at a pole, sitting. "I do not need.. Or seek for your sympathy" Ka'am said threatening, pushing the tip of his knife onto the bottom of Quaritch's face, between his neck and chin. "my brother was like that you know. Me being the oldest, hard to be noticed.. Unseen by the greater part" Quaritch said as he felt the tip of the knife now make a slight cut into his skin, pushing it more up. Quaritch almost laughed low, almost out of own disgust too, but his curiosity was too big. This man showed no mercy.. But neither did himself. "So whats your story.. What do you want" Quaritch said as he groaned from the pain of the knife lightly, but it once again did not stop him.
"What made you be shaped like this in a span of 16 years. Do you want to be feared. Seen.. Respected?" Quaritch asked as he gave hints he remembered the man 100% at this rate.. Which threw Ka'am off slightly.. He too felt the tension of that specific detail. "i'd watch your tongue. You think I'd spare you, just because you've seen me once. Why should you make a difference" Ka'am said, speaking more than he'd ever done in the time he's been in this way of behaving.. Meanwhile, Ka'am decided to push the knife even higher up, making Quaritch look up at the man while he left a deeper cut that kept ongoing. "What about your group huh.. I have the feeling respect is what you most desire. They dont serve you the way you'd want do they" Quaritch said as he groaned feeling that dagger stick more and more into his skin. "They fear me. Just like you should, but no one has deserved my respect just yet." Ka'am suddenly said, making a point that Quaritch really was playing with fire.. But the man, sensed something else "Not one.." Quaritch only said, looking at the man with a raised head himself despite the dagger helped.. just as Quaritch said so, Ka'am pulled the knife away.. In a firm movement, while he knew exactly what the man referred to.. The moment Quaritch had let Ka'am go all those years ago, had made Ka'am so curious to the humans. Ontop of that, he did only respect the one man that he hadnt even spoken with, with words. Just eyes.. Even having guarded the area around the old shack and what seemed to have been the man's skeleton.. for no one but himself was allowed to be near it. It was a natural reaction of Ka'am.. And only realized now this specific man so happened to have made an impact on him.
Out of frustration, Ka'am glared before stabbing the wooden pole Quaritch was stuck at, right above his head.. Before silence hit and glared at the colonel.. "Why." Ka'am eventually said, having let go of the knife while it was an inch away from Quaritch's head.. before their eyes just met again. "Why what" Quaritch decided to play the tricky game, while trying to figure out this mysterious man in full detail, having such a close encounter. For Ka'am had a deep silent eye contact with the colonel, he soon realized, despire Quaritch might've had a head start on this.. Like an advantage on the fact he had saved Ka'am.. He noticed the man couldnt even explain himself why he did it, making Ka'am raise his head as he stood up.. Just trying to think on this..
Quaritch in the meantime had picked up that his.. Previous self, inside of the deep woods was protected like sacred grounds, by someone who so happened to stand infront of him. Both of them had preferences and ways they couldnt explain, but of course it was somehow attached to one another.. More deep than one wanted to admit. Quaritch watched Ka'am think.. see what he could do with it, for he himself did too. 'I know you've already given me your respect.. Why else would you defend a place as sacred ground that so happened to be my deathbed.' Quaritch as he looked powerful, thinkinh wisely. "You can gain my respect.. If your approach would be a bit different than what you're attempting right now" Quaritch decided to once again take all risks.. Seeing Ka'am took a while before he turned to him, just knowing his rather complicated mind was swirling around. "It would come a long way, if I wouldnt be stuck here as well" Quaritch said, trying to find a way out of this, but as his defense mechanism was screaming 'get the hell out of this the second you can'.. His curiosity seemed to be bigger, making him doubt himself that if he would get out of this.. Would he leave. Would be attack Ka'am.. Or instead go a different route that he normally wouldnt do as a marine, who was usually chained to his routines.. His orders.
'You think I'm a fool..' Ka'am thought as he watched the man, but now, it seemed the man was almost able to read him. 'No..' Quaritch eyes just said back.. Making Ka'am look up and down at the man's entire eyes and body.. Contemplating what to do.. Especiallt since this somehow hit him very personally.. and hated the fact somehow that there were two others in the same room who could potentially listen.. Quaritch caught up on that.. Noticing how Ka'am for a bit glared at the cells.. "You can chain me up all you want somewhere else.. If that would mean we could continue our conversation, and see where we can meet in the middle." Quaritch said a little as bluff, and see where he could get himself.. For Ka'am watched the cells more before glaring back at Quaritch, who alqays seemed to be.. almost fond of watching those deadly eyes.. After a few minutes of standing, Ka'am narrowed his eyes before pulling the dagger out of the wood that was still above Quaritch' head.. Before he cut open the robes that were holding Quaritch to the pole.. 'If you dare to run away, I will not hesitate to kill you' Ka'am glared with his eyes, seeing Quaritch exhale out of relief for his wrists and arms that had been stuck behind his back for so long.. Before slowly standing up.. Noticing Ka'am eyes who gave the warning, before he even noticed himself and ka'am happened to be on the same height... What more of a match would you think would be possible. 'move.' Ka'am said in a gesture, watching Quaritch walk infront of him now as the man said where to go.. Keeping a continous eye on him.. Before Quaritch seemed to be guarded to a different room.. It seemed personal of Ka'am, but he didnt say a word yet. All he could possibly guess it by, was the scent of that powerful smoke he has seen him take. As bad as it was for some, Quaritch himself used to smoke often.. And somehow this very intriguing and possible dangerous stuff for most seemed to have attracted his curiosity even more. most navi wouldnt be able to take it, or had to get used to it for a while.. But Quaritch, by the scent alone was drawn by it. Especially the mix of Ka'am's scent and the smoke, it was the first thing in a long while that kept lingering...
TO BE CONTINUED-

Considering a deal..
IM BACK!! Ngl, i'm a little doubtful about this next one!! Some parts I like, but its- RGHDJNF despite I'm mostly obsessed about Ka'am and Quaritch, especially after his update, they're so difficult to write, but I hope you guys enjoy despite i'm still doubting about it hsjdbd, I might tweek some things here and there but, we'll see! this is a follow up on PET PEEVES! Absolutely Ka'am x Quaritch focused, with some Ter'ran and lyle in there! Enjoy
FOLLOW UP ON THIS: https://www.tumblr.com/emmacreatures/712710128372252672/pet-peeves
For Ka'am had gotten into the woods with his thanator.. Lyle and Ter'ran had caught up.. Until it hit Ter'ran, who quickly stood up after clinging onto Lyle like the strongest glue. "We need you to get the hell out of here" Ter'ran said for he cut open Lyle's robes that had tied him up when everyone was gone for a bit.. "Woah hold up?! I just fucking found you. It took me awhile to even realize its you. So nah. No way I'm leaving. Especially without you" Lyle said cocky but serious, seeing Ter'ran seemed nervous. It made Lyle walk up to him to shake him out of it. "Doesnt it occur you for a second i'm right infront of you" Lyle said for Ter'ran breathed in firmly, wanting to hit him, but at the same time never let go of him anymore.. But then his most important thought of now got into his mind. "Did your boss ever find out about us.." Ter'ran asked seriously, holding Lyle's face for he looked him right in the eyes, feeling the hold of Lyle. "Why do you ask that out of all things?? no why. Who do you think I am, I aint letting that slide like that." Lyle said confident.. For Ter'ran was still thinking.. "is he back.. like you are. With the whole program". Ter'ran kept asking, for Lyle frowned, noticing he got more tense. "Why are you so tight up. Cant we enjoy this for a second.. You've been all thats on my mind.." "And then it takes you a bit to realise its me?-" "Hey I got KIDNAPPED" Lyle said for Ter'ran looked around eventually, letting go of Lyle as he realized Ka'am went into the forest. "Hey whats the actual matter with you?" Lyle asked direct. "I saw Ka'am's glare. Our connection made him frown.. if ka'ams out there and they cross paths they might have a big gathering and i'll know he'll mention it" Ter'ran said, for Lyle frowned. "who says they'll get along. Quaritch stepped back from him actually.. Surprisingly. Which made me take my own decisions. He never got scared or pulled back from things" Lyle said for Ter'ran got silent. "Did you said quaritch..." "Yeah- Did you hear me stutter?" "Shut up" Ter'ran said as his ears folded. "Then they will get along, which means you have to get your ass out of here" Ter'ran said absolutely dead serious, noticing Lyle was rebelling through this.
"What on earth are you talking about?!". Lyle stood serious, glaring at Ter'ran who knew this was going to end rough if the two so happened to meet in person. "That boss of yours doesnt happen to be the same quaritch who so happened to let out a navi years ago" Ter'ran said as Lyle got suspicious now. "How the hell do you know about that" Lyle said for Ter'ran tilted his head in a movement. "guess with our luck who that was." Ter'ran said as Lyle finally got the links. "Fan-fucking-tastic. Of course it had to be like that. But that doesnt mean jack shit. You should know I can stand my own damn ground. If he has some.. 'odd' connection to a navi then so can I." "Arent you understanding this whole problem?! Big chances Ka'am will eventually talk to him, if not your boss would, and if they found out about us by putting the dots together its going to be game over" Ter'ran said worried, knowing if Ka'am would find out the man dated and.. did more with just a human. . He'd be pissed to say the least. especially now that he was shaped the way he was. "So.." Lyle eventually said.. "So?" "Yeah.. So what. Let them find out" "And you think they'll be so easy about it?" "Why are you so worried, I dont know Ter'ran being afraid of things.." Lyle said honest, almost sounding dissapointing. "I'm scared of him at times. Okay. He used to be my best friend, but he shaped himself to be something to be feared.. Try to at least show some compassion for me-" "As much as I like to, and as much as Quaritch can get tired of my shit as well, he wont hurt us.. Maybe he sometimes thinks about it.. but he wont"
"And what if my leader will.. He almost killed you already.. I cannot loose you again.. I can barely believe you're here" Ter'ran said eventually.. Making Lyle sense Ter'ran was afraid of that of all things.. "Your friend would be a sore loser if he'd try to kill the one joy of yours.. Instead of focusing on what can happen, maybe we should focus more on goddamn us. Because man. I missed you so fucking much.." Lyle said in his own ways, for Ter'ran made the eye contact at last, feeling he got hold again by Lyle.. Which made him melt into the man's hands.. Taking his head into his hands, a happy tear flew down his cheek.. Just letting it sink that he indeed was back.. "took you long enough.." Ter'ran eventually said, making Lyle smirk to see the Ter'ran appear that he so desperately loved. "Thats my cowboy."
Meanwhile... Ka'am was going through pandora, in sync with his thanator who could be as silent as the night, trained by Ka'am that way.. It was slowly becoming day again as the majority of time was night.. Which made it almost impossible for most to find Ka'am is he was out in pandora at night. The mix of his nature, along his colors and paint he wore at times made it impossible even for animals to notice him.. but with daylight it was still a big hassle.. But more easy to have luck in finding him. After a long search, Ka'am noticed to see the group of Quaritch out there again, possibly searching for the idiot they had captured.. Making him slide off his thanator, telling it to go around the group, as silent as can be. "Mansk. Zdog, go to your left. And be careful, like we experienced last night, you never know whats in these woods" Quaritch said as he held his own weapon in his hands, telling the others to spread around.. Ka'am tilted his head before getting closer, crawling over the ground like it was the easiest thing. The man had some knives with him hidden, but he had left his bow behind.. Feeling like it wasnt nessesairy. His aura was intimidating enough already... To say the least. quaritch frowned as he looked around, watching his own back as he kept circling to check every corner of his eye.. Ka'am however got closer and closer, slowly raising his body from the ground as within seconds, he appeared like a shadow, close behind Quaritch..
In the exact moment, Quaritch felt a familair but cold chill down his spine, but just as he wanted to turn around, Zdawg yelled "JESUS CHRIST- COLONEL WATCH OUT". As every recom pointed at Ka'am, who didnt move a single muscle or eye, Except Quaritch, the man seemed to recognize the man immediately, but instead of just seeing his eyes, he finally saw the shape, the scent.. Seeing the energy, the glare, from upclose "HOLD YOUR FIRE-" "COLONEL ARE YOU NUTS?!" One of the recoms yelled, as they still held up all their weapons. "I WILL NOT REPEAT MYSELF" Quaritch didnt really yell, but his volume was up high and extremely dominant. By that.. Hesitantly, the recoms lowered their weapons with dissaproval.. Ka'am's head was slightly tilted at Quaritch, the left side of his face showed more than the side that had some scars.. Only his tail moved slowly, as if he was awaiting what Quaritch would do... Watching very closely.. But Quaritch slowly caught up too.. "No bow.. No visible weaponry. Am I that inviting to you?" Quaritch said low and serious, as he watched him back, seeing no sudden threat to him.. But he could almost sense that Ka'am was no fond of the others.. And as he expected.. as soon as one of the recoms tried to talk to Quaritch, Ka'am's ears folded, and just by that small detail, Quaritch knew it was a life or death situation. "Leave.." Quaritch all the sudden said, making Alexander smirk. "Hell yeah colonel, thats w-" "All of you. Leave" quaritch said in a way he wouldnt repeat himself with, noticing doubts of the group for they didnt expect it was focused on them, but as loyal as they were.. They slowly backed off.. ka'am's glare was still there, staring right at Quaritch as after a while..
He could sense the group had left or at least kept his distance for now. "Colonel.. We're not too far away, just give us any sign.. incase things can happen" The microphone at Quaritch' neck started ongoing, which made Ka'am's ears fold again.. Feeling betrayed for a second for the fact his group was disloyal... hating it. Without much of a second thought, Quaritch pressed onto the button to speak back. "Go back to bridgehead. Thats my final order" He said threatening, clicking the device off for Ka'am kept silent and his eyes on the man that now seemed serious in their interaction, as alone as it could be.. "you gonna stare at me or will you actually talk now that they've left.." Quaritch said as he pushed his own gun to his back.. Standing still as he watched this predator like navi infront of him watch every move.. Quaritch sensed Ka'am waited until the recoms would be far gone.. But Quaritch felt like continuing their conversation after watching the man a little bit more, daring to do so. He felt his mind was surprised but almost struggling to.. see and feel this same level of dominance from both men. He had never met a match like that before, nor realized this man possibly matched him on more front and visa versa.. but it didnt nessesairly intimidate him, it definitely was more of an inside battle.. But Ka'am was experiencing the same despite it didnt seem like it.. Staring directly at Quaritch, he knew for sure.. it was the man he had met before, but how... How on earth was it possible that he was back. He knew the skeleton. The ampsuit.. But through all the silence, not one of the two had stepped closer.
"Any reason you decided to surprise me" Quaritch said low, seeing Ka'am look up and down at Quaritch, listening close to his voice. ".. I remember you. You might've not said a word back then, nor did we say anything to each other, but you've heard everyone around you, knowing exactly what they said. I know you know english" Quaritch said eventually, knowing 100% it were the same eyes he met 16 years ago. "that is, if i'm willing to speak it" Ka'am finally said, in english, as he tilted his head more the other side, which revealed the scars on his right side better.. Now slowly moving a little bit, but Quaritch kept standing where he was, looking at Ka'am.. He still felt that rather strong chill down his spine, but oddly enough he could tell despite the danger this man's aura showed.. that he would be in no danger right now, unless he'd make a wrong move. Watching Ka'am slowly come closer with a threatening look.. Quaritch got a better and closer look at what the man had become.. Without much of a warning, Ka'am walked around Quaritch slowly.. Taking his tail in his hands for a bit.. Go along his rather muscular arms like a direct inspection. Before taking a sharp bone from his hair to poke Quaritch, who glared in a rather warning way... but seeing the man take it to taste him.. Made him silent. He had heard from Jake, the mother of the clan had done it to him before.. as he immediately could sense it was a test to see if he maybe was... pure? he noticed a slight twitch in the man's ears of having tasted his blood.. For Ka'am got curious.
For quaritch couldnt know.. Ka'am's mom was a Tsahik, and from her he had specific things learned that for most were almost uncanny. But it were things he did in order to be the man he was now.. It was sinister, but powerful. Meanwhile as Ka'am stood so close, the mix of his own scent in combination of the things he at times smoked.. Made Quaritch silent to analyze it. He had never smelled anything like it.. The whole navi man infront of him was something he had never seen.. And therefor took different steps than usual.
For Ka'am tried to puzzle out what exactly the man infront of him was, his scent was unlike anything he'd smelled.. his blood tasted young.. It was like a real navi, but something powerful was in the mix, it might've explained why the man at a younger age was so well trained.. For he didnt.. seem to be 20 in their age with the way he handled and mentally communicated. But his body as well, seemed to be more than what most could achieve. Some developed things that only showed there had to be a reason why he was what he was. "Who are you." Ka'am said direct, standing inches away from Quaritch who looked right back at him. "I know you remember me." Quaritch said almost confident but he was careful in his own dominant way. "You have changed" Ka'am said right afterwards, glaring as it didnt make sense yet. "So have you" Quaritch said almost cocky but serious, before Ka'am took the man's wrist rather direct, which made Quaritch a bit more forward in behavior by grabbing the other arm that Ka'am had. glaring as he was about to hit him somehow, though he watched Ka'am's behavior closely.. Seeing how Ka'am felt the man's heartbeat in the wrist, which was surprisingly a little high.. But secure, steady... And very strong.. Sensing he wasnt an avatar, he could just tell from that.
It made Ka'am's expression from dangerous to wandering. He watched the man's wrist before turning to him.. Glaring, but wanting to know.. "How can you be navi. you died". Quaritch watched the man, pulling his wrist back for he wasnt sure what to say as he hissed while pulling his own wrist back. How did the man figure it out. He could just sense ka'am wanted to know. The voice that came from the navi was for some reason peeking his interest more than he expected. Despite he had met ka'am before.. he had never heard his voice yet, and it was only getting worse from here. ""It seems we might've started on the wrong foot. I know you had the intention to kill me, perhaps I always have done the same to your kind. We can do it differently, but not just for nothing" Quaritch said as Ka'am stepped back just a little, trying to figure what Quaritch was.. His curiosity hadnt been this bad in ages, which made him handle differently. "I have a feeling.. You have one of ours." Quaritch said trickily.. Seeing Ka'am looked up and down at him again.. Actually for once answering Quaritch. "We have him.. But he seems to have a very close bond with one of mine.." Ka'am started to say, making Quaritch now slowly dare to approach the dangerous navi for he tilted his head at what he heard.. "As if they met before. My question is.. How" Ka'am said as his ears twitched as he felt bothered.. But surprisingly, it seemed Quaritch was too. But as he heard Quaritch come closer.. The man breathed out.
"just like you." Ka'am ended up saying, looking directly at Quaritch.. But his glance had changed, there was a mere curiosity but it was almost as if he personally had to punish himself for becoming more eager to know this man.. Figure him out. Wanting to know, due reasons he couldnt explain himself yet. The colonel noticed the change in sight.. Making him curious himself, also to what he just heard and decide to make use of it.. also so he could have a more steady, closer look on the navi... "How are you possible... What are you" Ka'am eventually said, glaring at Quaritch who eventually stood close.
"You really want to know.. I can tell you.. But only if you bring him back.. After we both found out how they got to know one another" Quaritch decided to go for a daring decision.. knowing he took the risk to follow this navi into the deep forest, on his own without backup.. but something told him this dominant leader, like himself.. Was peeked in someway, making it a safe bet for now, as his own curiosity was pulling at him unlike anything else.. All he received was a glare from Ka'am.. "I dont do deals.." He said angry.. Making Quaritch look with a tilted head. "Then I suppose you will not hear more of me or my kind" He said trickily, seeing the man hissed as Quaritch almost felt the need to hiss back. They both wanted something... and not just for nothing, as their dominant behavior was fighting to have met their own reflection.. Quaritch recognized this one detail precisely. He was a man that normally would never delve into making deals either.. It was almost uncanny of how alike they were.. For Quaritch never expected to meet someone.. So much on his level, especially Ka'am was struggling with it. He was SO curious about everything, yet felt like it was a curse.. But as the two kept glaring at each other.. Ka'am hissed lightly before turning away from the man, calling his thanator.. which made Quaritch realize the man's curiosity about him, decide on going in on the deal... Making him smirk once before watching every move the navi made.. as so did Ka'am.. It was going to be quite the journey with the two, starting now.

PET PEEVES
I'm BACK! With a follow up on "STARED AT".
https://www.tumblr.com/emmacreatures/712528431623110656/stared-at
I'll possibly do more of these follow ups, not sure how many will follow!! Featuring Ka'am, mainly Lyle and Ter'ran as well, HOPE YOU ENJOY✨ after this, a lot more will happen in detail with Ka'am x quaritch 👁👄👁
For the recoms headed back to their base.. Prager frowned as he watched it all happen along mansk and everyone else.. "Where is lyle going?" Zdog asked as she chewed her gun, almost rolling eyes for Quaritch kept moving back, being a bit pissed at Lyle who of course had to start an argument with him. "possibly butting heads with his own ego. he'll be back in a bit after he's cooled off" Quaritch said as he was more focused on which eyes he had just met rather than all that happened with his best friend. As they kept moving back, Mansk, who always was the silent guy, was rather intrigued by the whole occurence with the natives. "How did you figure that we couldnt go any further" He asked, carrying the large weaponry like it was easy, for Quaritch sighed. Mansk didnt annoy him at all, but the man had his thoughts elsewhere, which made his ego pop up. "Any great minded man could tell that it was a trap if we interacted more. Now come on. We have to be back. Ardmore already made an exception for us to leave after the dark" he said, telling Zdog as well to get Lyle back or at least keep an eye on him..
Meanwhile as everyone else made it back, Quaritch changed his shirt to a new one before he finally knew for sure who he met as his mind was spiraling. Deep inside he knew it from the start, but he had to be sure. It was the damn Na'vi the RDA had captured years ago.. He was younger back in the day, chained.. For Parker wanted answers as the rebellious navi was attacked, in which most of his possessions were taken from him. Quaritch rememberd loud and clear the navi hadnt said a word to him, and neither had he.. But the eye contact they made was special to say the least. He sensed almost that the navi wouldnt attack him if it came to him. Throigh the days that Ka'am was stuck there, the two hadnt said a single word, but it felt like they communicated whenever their eyes locked. Of course in that time, Quaritch was weary around them.. By all means he'd try to kill them on sight if they did too.. But for some odd reason.. That one na'vi almost changed his view. Not to all of them. Just to that one..
While Quaritch was in thoughts, Alexander entered the room, seeing the man was thinking. "You're alright colonel? something we need to be informed about as well?" he asked respectfully, making Quaritch snap out of his thoughts.. "Yeah I'm fine. Thanks for your concern. You want to sit at a table, talk about our feelings?" the man said rather sarcastically, for he was a little vulnerable mentally due to the sudden similarity he met. Just as the man wanted to stop their conversation, Zdawg entered the room, running. "Colonel. Its lyle, he's nowhere near".
a few hours later~
"Jesus.. My head" Lyle groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, noticing he was in a.. Where the hell was he, he thought. Things seemed rather old.. There was some metal here and there.. it loojed like an old dead tree, being on the inside, something way smaller than what they shot down years ago back when they were human. The second Lyle became more conscious, the man tried to get out of whatever he was stuck with.. It wasnt like a normal rope. It hurt against the skin too.. 'son of a bitch..' he thought, looking around as he eventually noticed some navi looking at him from a distance, but they easily did their own thing. "Am I not too amusing for you guys.." he said with a glare, feeling like the fact the focus was not on him while he was captured hurt his damn ego. "I wouldnt worry about that" A female navi passed him while speaking in na'vi, holding a spear in her hand as she glared. "You think I'm supposed to follow that dumbnuts? We'll hurt you one way or another.. Just you wait when my buddies come around. You'll get your ass whooped-" Lyle said unfiltered, making the female hiss at him before wanting to step closer "Naraya." Ka'am called for the women raised her head, hissing before stepping back as her spicy energy definitely was one of the largest.. "I want to rip his lungs out" she said in na'vi, glaring for she listened.. Making the rest of the clan approach him.. "So who tf are you huh.. You're their puppeteer?" Lyle said towards Ka'am who was slowly coming out of the shadows, exhaling as smoke came out of his nose and mouth.. Before walking around the man who was tied up.
"It seems this alien has proved us wrong.. You can be more bald than a newborn, they have more hair than him" Ka'am said in Na'vi as everyone else laughed low, for Ka'am stayed deadly serious. Meanwhile as this was happening, the one usually having the biggest mouth of all, Ter'ran, was rather hidden away, laughing along but not meaning it.. and Ka'am could immediately sense it.. Being the leader that he was. "I dont know what the fuck you're saying but I feel like it aint cool bruh. Dare to speak to me in english, I bet you dont, you dick" Lyle had a big mouth.. Which wasnt the smartest thing in the world.. especially towards that one na'vi. But Ka'am could understand exactly what he was saying, and as he previously expected. This man was nowhere near respectful. Ka'am eventually kneeled down close, pulling out a dagger as he held it against lyle's neck. "We dont lower ourselves to your level." Ka'am said in english for once as his brain wanted to say much worse, even making Lyle uncomfortable.. And swallow to see these devillish eyes. Being quite silent for just a little bit.. "You think you scare me.. Think again" Lyle said a little hesitant, making Ka'am put a cut right at his throat as the man hissed.. But Ter'ran couldnt help but wince the second it was happening.. Ka'am sensed Ter'ran seemed uptight.. or merely worried, making him stand up after having kneeled down to Lyle to give him the warning.. Which made him go dig deeper.. "Naraya, Tsu'to-" "No, I can do it" Ter'ran suddenly said, knowing where this could go.. He knew Ka'am wanted Lyle to get some rather.. Brutal treatment to teach the man some manners and give him another time out. And its exactly what Ka'am didnt hope for. Because now, the secret was out for him already... Ter'ran fell through. "Let us alone" Ka'am said as he raised his head, seeing everyone left for Ter'ran swallowed.
The second Lyle was captured.. Ter'ran was dying inside to realize it was the man he met years ago, and lost for a brief time. Oh.. How badly ter'ran wanted to have him for himself the second he even heard his dumb talking that Lyle would praise himself for. But he had to pretend they had no connection.. Or ka'am would fry him up.. Or well, that was his thought. He couldnt tell if Lyle pretended as well, or couldnt recognize the man just yet, but at the exact moment where Ter'ran volunteered, Lyle's brain started to swirl as well.. Putting the puzzle together.
All Ka'am did at this point is look directly at Ter'ran, stepping closer as his tail was swooshing rather trickily. He could sense the man tried to lie, and it only took one single difference in behavior for Ka'am to notice something was going on. "You never volunteer for anything." Ka'am said with a voice so low, making Ter'ran almost turn away as he knew he was in trouble. The second Lyle noticed the discomfort of Ter'ran, realizing it has to be him.. he tried to figure what he could do. "who tf do you think you are huh??? Handling your own group like slaves?" Lyle started to yell, trying to get loose.. For Ka'am turned to Lyle with deadly eyes as a final warning.. Lyle was lucky he was still alive. But in that exact second, Ter'ran nonverbally signaled to Lyle in a 'plz dont' as a warning for him trying to protect Lyle from doing anything further.. and himself, But of course.. Lyle being lyle.. "Tf you doing.. waving and shit, you think I can follow??" he said casually with a frown, But that exact sign was caught by Ka'am again, grabbing Ter'ran's arm he narrowed his eyes.
Staring at him, Ter'ran knew already this was going to become a nightmare. Ka'am let go of his arm, slowly walking away, inbetween Lyle and Ter'ran. As the silence was so bad.. It cut wounds. "You know each other" He said, as their entire conversation had been in na'vi. as Ter'ran closed his eyes, pushing them closed as he swallowed, trying to patch up his fallthrough.. "And you'd assume I wouldnt notice?" Ka'am said tricky, for Ter'ran tried to stand strong, still 'willingly' wanting to pretend he would torture Lyle which is what Ka'am wanted to 'plan'. "I dont know what you speak off" Ter'ran dared to say... Making Ka'am lure it out more as he raised his head, being already dissapointed his friend wouldnt be honest.. But he seemed so weakened by the bald alien. "Mmm.." Ka'am only led out, seeming rather 'easy' about this all the sudden. "Alive or dead.. They'll come for him. Considering he doesnt want to speak what we want to hear or keep his mouth shut, I've had enough" Ka'am said casual, being done with the behavior Lyle showed.. But especially wanting to get Ter'ran to spit it out, how he knows this damn alien. Without much of a warning, Ka'am snapped his fingers, for Lyle's ears all the sudden perked to hear a rather... Unpleasant noise coming closer. "who the fuck do you think you are? Like WHO do you think you- Oh fuck me-" Lyle all the sudden said to suddenly hear heavy thuds coming closer, a rawr so raw it made his heart sink.
The thanator came out of the shadows, growling at Lyle for it lifted its odd 'cups' at the front of its muzzle, knowing its about to attack. "How about we save you the trouble of having to do that work" Ka'am said with a threatening voice towards Ter'ran, meaning that Ter'ran no longer would have to volunteer to hurt Lyle as a prisoner.. But this was far worse, Ka'am was about to feed lyle to his thanator, knowing he has no mercy. "A little help here.." Lyle whispered, swallowing as his words had definitely lessened.. He knew this beast could not be stopped.. "you know my petpeeves Ter'ran. Some you always seem to pull out.. But you know what I hate most." Ka'am said as the thanator came closer and closer, about to bite Lyle, making an end to it. "Disloyalty. Liars." he said as the silence hit.. Before he continued, seeing Ter'ran was fully focused on Lyle and the thanator. Glaring with his eyes towards his friend. "but since you're not like those.. You wouldnt mind to get rid of him, do you now" Ka'am said before Lyle couldnt hold it back anymore.. Seeing the life flash before his eyes "TER'RAN" He yelled out of fear, making Ter'ran break. "PLEASE STOP- STOP I BEG YOU. I'M A LIAR. I ADMIT, BUT DO NOT KILL HIM, ANYTHING BUT HIM" Ter'ran yelled with the fear in his voice, making Ka'am who glared at him.. Snort before snapping his fingers to make the Thanator stop right before Lyle, the drool of the animal was sliding an inch away from the recom.
If it had been a tenth of a second longer, it was game over but Ka'am had complete control, and knew exactly what to do. Ter'ran was the more emotional of the two.. As the man's tears were sliding down, the thought of having lost Lyle again felt like a stab theough his heart.. Without holding himself back this time, allowing his emotions to come through, Ter'ran ran up to Lyle the second the thanator was told to back off, holding Lyle's head as his tears kept flowing down.. But he knew now.. He was in deep trouble. Having had a moment to look at Lyle, Ter'ran slowly dared to turn to Ka'am, who glared with fury at the man. 'and here I thought I could rely on you' ka'am thought as he kept thinking.. He wanted to know how they knew each other, but right as he saw their connection, he rememberd the own eyes he met back in the deep forest of pandora. The eyes were so familair, but he hadnt given it much space to process, as it made its own entrance now.. Just by the thought of that, he called his thanator to himself, for it hissed loudly at Ter'ran and Lyle together now.. Before walking up to Ka'am. Having told the others to keep a close eye on them, almost wanting to tie Ter'ran up as well.. Despite he was part of their clan. The behavior he showed, felt like betrayal, but Ka'am was smart enough to figure something major was behind this. How could he know this alien, that they had never seen before... He decided to go back out there, see if those aliens were around. Normally he wouldnt do this by himself but let his clan do it for him.. But something peaked his curiosity again. He wanted to know how the eyes he saw were so familair as well as all seemed to pile up, being something huge. Something he wanted to know right away. His fascination to humans had never failed him, but this.. This was a bigger mystery he wanted to know.. How it was possible or why he even thought it. sooner or later he'd figure, or at least get told that.. The human he got in contact with so close.. Has returned in a new life and skin.. Back on pandora. But how..

STARED AT.
Omg its been a minute but hello! Starting off with some updated Ka'am x Quaritch and lyle and the recoms! Sorry for my dissapearance, I've been busy with work, finally got a hang of it and will be continuing to be busy, but!!! finally got some time to write. thanks to the fantastic Niku, they found this perfect soundtrack where they described this.. Almost horror like look that Ka'am would give and it made me see this like scene which I had to write down! I actually have the continue part of this in the making, but it isnt done yet. Apologies if i'm rather rusty too and make some mistakes aaa, hope you guys enjoy nonetheless
This was the song that Niku shared which gave us both incredible insp: https://youtu.be/p1-DbSpdZ3M (especially from 1.10 and up. the drums and just hejdbd)
youtube
As ka'am and his own clan were driven more far away from the omatikayan.. Ter'ran at times did pretend he was still part of them, so he could listen around, to tell Ka'am what was happening in the clan and any kind of information. Ka'am had grown older.. Darker, but incredibly trained that quite a few had noticed, and therefore joined him along the way. Feeling like his ways would be some that could be more impactful than a whole life back at the normal clan. Ter'ran was one of the first to join, and while he may be a close friend, he had to behave good enough not to be seen through by ka'am. He didnt know how the man had evolved his own instincts and tricks.. But man, even at times he was terrified on how well Ka'am could read people. Just by a sigh or change in stance. The clan especially joined him when they dared to look at him. His eyes had darkened, which was.. a so called fact to no longer be loyal to eywa. The eyes are a door to the soul, and usually when eyes were darkened it showed they get their energy somewhere else, other than the great mother, and make their own path in life. Some expected it to be a myth, but as the clan from Ka'am noticed his growth, they too wanted to follow that path. Ter'ran had gently made his way over to the omatikayan, seeing that, while Neytiri and Ka'am couldnt get along too well, she still hoped he'd come back. Ka'am was strict on rules. He knew what was mandatory. but despite she knew that he and jake couldnt get along, she at times still yearned for her brother to come back, yet not having a clue where he was.. or what he had become overtime. Being a true shadow in the dark. Ter'ran himself was surprised, but more importantly, he heard the humans were expanding their area again, called bridgehead.. And fast, making most of the clan at the omatikaya rather distance themself. Having heard all this information, he knew it was time to head back. The group and himself had found a place nearby the old shack to form their own home. They knew no one was allowed, as it was a perfect place for rebels to form a place they'd call their safe ground.
Ter'ran got back in one piece, also having seen bits of bridgehead before heading to Ka'am.. Who sat in a chair, being silent, smoking some sort of special mix they made themselves that was rather powerful stuff. Breathing it out as he stretched his neck, he heard someone come closer, giving a hand signal to make them step inside.. "I've returned.. And I have news" Ter'ran said, still not knowing how to call Ka'am. Does he say olo'eyktan, master.. Despite he was loyal, he knew he had to be careful with his approach. Ka'am without a doubt would correct him no matter their friendship that always had been there. ""did they care" Ka'am only said, breathing out once before putting the mix to the side.. Letting it go out of his noseholes. "Your family.. Or well sister, they still search for you it seems.. they still wish you'd be around. They have no clue you're here" Ter'ran said as he didnt look at Ka'am, knowing well it was the best way to respect. "They could've.. If they respected me. Anything else" Ka'am said as he turned to Ter'ran as he sat with his back to him. Slowly having stood up to sit down in his direction. "thats indeed not all.. there are new.. aliens.. on ground. They have weapons. Have human clothing. They seem trained well" Ter'ran said as he had heard and saw them.. Making Ka'am stand up as his ears twitched. A silence hit, before he'd make Ter'ran look at him. Even ter'ran at times got a chill down his spine thanks to ka'am. "call everyone together. we'll go hunting sooner" He said, his voice low and threatening, for Ter'ran nodded quickly before almost running out of the place they were at, making a specific noise like a bird or animal to call everyone together..
Meanwhile, over at the recoms~
Quaritch, Lyle, mansk, the whole group, had been dropped off by admiral orders to test if their hypothesis was right on being unnoticable with the recom bodies.. And low and behold, it was. As they scavenged the area, not knowing some had noticed them, they went on, being cautious of everything that passed them.. "Follow me" Quaritch said with his hands as the crew walked behind him, in the deep jungle of pandora. Lyle was close behind on him. "Stop.." Quaritch then said outloud, sensing something was watching them. "What is it colonel.." Lyle said with a frown, as every recom started to look around them.. "Lyle, with me. All else, stay here" Quaritch gestured with his hands, making them nod as they stood watch, while Lyle with his sniper silently followed Quaritch who seemed very weary of his surroundings. "Colonel? Status, what are you seeing" "Thats the thing Lyle.. I feel like something is watching us, but where." He said dominantly, looking around as it had become dark already.. Their skin shining while it definitely was more difficult to watch through pandora.
'go there, I'll go here' Quaritch gestured again with his hands, seeing Lyle took a comfortable spot to rest his sniper, whereas Quaritch held his weapon while moving, trying to pay the best of attention to whatever could be around.. Ka'am and his clan saw all of them in perfect sight. Ka'am told half of the group to focus on the ones that were told to stay at a specific spot.. For Ter'ran and him divided to watch the other two that seemed to be the most leading types.. Ka'am, with his dark paint on his body and around his face, was almost completely invisible, especially in the dark and due his abilities.. But as he noticed the man with his gun in his hand, sense he was watched, he took that as a challenge for the first time in a while.. considering he usually stayed away from everyone, like a deadly shadow. Ka'am raised his head as he watched him without moving himself anymore.. only his tail was the thing that gave any sign of being alive. Quaritch narrowed his eyes as he could sense it more.. Looking into any direction.. Until he eventually got a chill down his spine, noticing two yellow eyes looking directly at him. Never in his life had he met anything like this. Not moving an inch the second the contact was made, he felt his own heartbeat raise for some seconds.. he met eyes that almost felt like the devil. a part of hell might would describe. He couldnt even express or explain what he felt, but he could sense this was a dangerous approach.. Even though the man had 50 years of experience in a younger body. The entire energy made him nope out.. Yet intrigue to the max. The eyes he saw didnt even twitch.. It was a glance so sharp it would cut wounds. Quaritch was not the type of man to be impressed nor scared easily at all, but this was so out of the ordinairy to experience.. He knew, from his gut he had to be careful, or it would all be over soon. It would be the first time Quaritch was this careful.. Possibly making others suddenly doubt his approach.
Lyle noticed the man look at something in the shadows, deep jungle of pandora.. Eventually noticing what seemed like a shape.. Pointing at it. Quaritch knew he was looking at a killer. Never in his life had he ever experienced something like this. Considering pandora was a new world, and seeing it through new eyes, he questioned himself, yet as well could tell from his senses that he was right of what he was thinking. "Colonel" Lyle called, for the sudden words he never expected, were heard. "step back." Quaritch said, as Lyle didnt realize.. The way he pointed at ka'am, made 5 other members point at Lyle.. Making them stuck in a life and death situation. "step back? I have him right under my view" "I said step back." Quaritch said almost angry, slowly stepping backwards himself as the eyecontact he had was still ongoing. He felt the eyes stare at him.. Sensing the greatest danger he might've ever felt..
Ka'am from afar could sense the man saw what he was capable off.. and for the first time, got respected in a way he didnt expect from a man like their kind. He could tell he was feared in a twisted, almost admirable way, but quaritch had his own view on things.. letting Ka'am do a thing for the first time, to make an exception out of him.. out of killing him in sight like he would've, along with the ones he was with. He heard the sudden english to make them step back, seeing it as a sense of respect, as he could tell, the man telling them to do so, wasnt the usual type to behave on such terms. And by that.. Ka'am made a specific hand movement to make everyone stand still, and not make a killing.
"What was that all about, are you nuts. There are clearly people out there trying to KILL us" Lyle said for Quaritch tightened his neck. "do not talk to me like that Wainfleet" he said as he walked away, having broken the eye contact that seemed to have dissapeared into the shadows. "we would not have won." Quaritch said as he walked to the recoms, making Lyle stop him. "WHAT?! we were with 7".
"And if you paid well attention, they had surrounded us, 5 of which were aimed at you because you pointed at him. Be thankful their leader didnt point at us yet" he said dangerous, threatening to lyle. "excuse me?-" "You heard me. he was looking right at me." Quaritch said as Lyle rolled his eyes "Yeah I saw THAT. Thats why I had him in my sight-" "Shut up for a second. He looked at me, Like a prey, full in their element. If we would've attacked we all would've been dead by now" Quaritch said, being so sure of his words that he himself couldnt even explain. But his gut said so. As the silence was around, and rain started to fall, keeping a glare on lyle who seemed.. surprised. "since when does a group.. or one individual stop us.. or you" he said daring, noticing Quaritch being displeased with Lyle's approach. "not once have i been wrong have i. The only reason we're alive, is because we didnt do anything. He spared us" "And why would he.. Huh? They're blue monkeys, did you forget we dispice their species Colonel?." lyle said blatantly for Quaritch glared at him again, meaner this time. "he was or is, the exact example on why we humans didnt survive here on this world. remember the horrendous danger on this planet. Think again wainfleet. Your cockyness almost got us killed if it wasnt for me." Quaritch warned lyle to slow down his argument, making the cocky man still continue. "well the so called danger only seemed to look at you" he said for Quaritch was done. "Feeling confident are we? We may now be like our enemies, but that doesnt mean we're up on their systems yet. They're ahead of us." he said as all the other recoms were silent, listening. For Lyle folded his ears. "this is his territory lyle.. he knows every inch around this area unlike us. We'd be dead if we'd ignore his warning". "Warning, who spoke of a warning. He just looked at you".
"you want to get us all killed, be my guest" Quaritch said as he pushed the man to the side, planning to leave this area for now as most others did follow.. But Lyle wasnt done fucking around just yet.. "Screw this. I dont have time for being careful." Lyle glared as he looked back at the jungle, coming up with a bad excuse so that he could go in there on his own.. totally asking for trouble.
Meanwhile, Ter'ran had approached Ka'am, who was silent, having watched them all. "What the hell was that about.. We could've easily gotten rid of them." Ter'ran asked as he swallowed to receive a rather unfortunate glare from Ka'am. "Do not make me be unkind to you Ter'ran, you know better" Ka'am said as he suddenly heard some twigs break.. Breathing out to sense one had returned on his own.. But it wasnt the man he met eyes with.. "Seriously. since when is quaritch such a pussy by being looked at by those blue monkeys, I'll show them." Lyle said as he held his sniper up.. Looking around as he felt like he was the smartest man around. Ka'am could sense the man's disrespect, getting angry.. "he has no respect. Get him." Ka'am said low, for the whole clan started to point at the man.. As he himself dissapeared back to his own area.. The clan started to get lyle.. who really thought he was the toughest around. "Fucking get some colonel.. I can easily survive out here just you wait." Lyle said before he was surrounded by at least 5 navi.. But one of them got him with their own made tranquilizer.. Getting him knocked out after a few minutes "Fucking bitches- Y'all are damn sore losers." He said while trying to fight which he actually managed just fine, until the chemicals started to hit.. Getting him to their hidden area.. Tight up.. And stuck.
