Squad Tales

Sawnik (part 1)

Sawnik stood on the roof of the hideout over looking the city.  All the thoughts an memories running through her made her feel slightly chilled. She couldn't help but feel as if something was still missing. As if something from her memory was missing. Like half her life was, washed away. all the lights began to light up the town as the sun set behind the scene. It was all so beautiful after all. The red, orange, and yellow hues of the clouds all collided with the black silhouettes of the buildings. Sawnik had a very physically exhausting ability. She was a cyborg after all so she was machine but still mostly human. Her skeleton metal. her organs and flesh still the same. The extra strength she receives from the skeleton allows her to lift anything 100 times her size. It is exhausting and takes a toll though. After a single fight she finds herself asleep on the floor when they return home.  But yet, she still couldn't help but believe she was still missing something. Something important. It almost made her feel uncompleted. Wolfy tapped her shoulder. Sawnik slightly startled jumped and looked to her. Wolfy handed her a glass of water. Sawnik took it gladly as Wolfy took a seat next to her.

"Hey Sawnik, everything ok?" Wolfy asked. Sawnik just nodded her head still looking to the city and the now set sun. Wolfy couldn't help but shift awkwardly on the roof from the silence and the slight unbalance it gave her. She finally decided to sit next to her. From a small glance she couldn't help but notice the almost lost look in her eyes. She knew that look well.

"Sawnik, are you positive that.." A loud crack in the distance made her stop short and Sawnik's head shot up towards the city. Many more sounds could be heard in the distance on the outskirts of the city on the west side. Sawnik shot up from her sitting position and stared out trying to find a misplaced silhouette. With nothing in sight she looked to Wolfy.

"I think we should get the team there could be something out there." she said sternly. Wolfy just nodded her head and bonded off the roof glad to be off such an unstable platform. Sawnik watched Wolfy disappear into the hideout before bonding off the roof and towards town. The booms and crack continued to get louder every few steps she took towards town. She went into a light jog once she reached the west side. She gave out a loan groan when she realized she would have to run to the other side of town. Everyone started walking out of there homes looking for what was causing the sound. The closer she came to the east side of town the more screams she could hear. She only wished Wolfy and the others would get there soon. A few more steps and the ground shook Sawnik almost completely off her feet. She stumbled for a moment before catching her balance. Another came and she wobbled. Looking up she noticed the trees shaking and tumbling down the hill in there direction. She stood firm in her spot ready for whatever came her way. A small glimpse of neon pink colored fur shone in the moon light off the hill in the small opening of the trees. She instantly became confused. What animal had neon pink fur, and where did it come from? Sawnik's head became flooded with questions the closer the monster became. What really surprised her most was gow fast it traveled from it's mass. With the latest shake of the ground sawnik grew light headed and her vision became fuzzy. A wash of nausea filled her stomach as she tumbled to the ground. With her vision all hazy and small stactic shocks running up her boddy from her feet. SHe fought her head to stay concious from the growing blackness in her head. Her vison and hearing were dicipating slowly. The more she resisted her head pounded. The pain became so unberable she passed out from the over whelming pain in her head.
