Roleplay:Genetix

An ancient artifact has recently been excavated far north in the Kartilla Desert. An exhibit in the museum of Station Square has been made for it, and has attracted many people far and wide.

A day after the opening, a strange virus begins to spread across the city. People suddenly morph into darker versions of themselves for a short amount of time. In this form, they feel more energetic, and overall stronger than they had been. However, when it wears off, a wave of fatigue falls over them, which leaves them in a worse state than before they even transformed. No one knows where this virus originated from, nor do they know the real dangers of this "disease".

Somewhere, a secret organization lead by three power-hungry individuals, is orchestrating the entire scheme. As they sit in the shadows, they are increasingly gaining energy from the people...

Opening:
Power.. power is all I need.. I want to taste the dark gourmet of power. Power can be used in many ways.. it can be used as a tool of justice, it can be used as a bringer of evil. But I see power as something to be eaten. I will set the stage, I will give heroes and villians a harbinger of power to fight over. An ancient artifact, well.. a fake artifact of my own devise. Go, spread false rumors of this artifact. Bring the strongest heroes and villians to fight over the artifact. Let them touch it, let it touch them. Their delicious aura shall be infected with the spice of flavor, the spice of darkness. Then.. I shall feast.

Part 1
A blue echidna slowly sat up in his bed. He woke with a start, now sweating bullets and taking deep breaths. He looked around the room, trying to get oriented and realize that he was safe at home. It was a dream... He thought. He glanced over at the window, noticing the sun rising above the horizon. Looks like I overslept...again... He stood out of the bed, careful not to wake his sleeping wife. Rubbing his temple, he couldn't help but worry about this now. ''This is the second time I've had that nightmare...A nightmare where I'm all alone, in the endless dark abyss...facing a monster with no true form. What it means, I have no idea...However... ''He picked up a booklet from his night table; one that spoke of an ancient relic being presented in Station Square's museum. That dream isn't the only thing that's giving me a bad feeling...

Smash set the booklet down, and headed out to start the day.

 * * * A pure white hedgehog with flowing fur is seen reading a booklet, he mutters to himself as he recites the location of the museum in which he hopes to attend. "So a relic of power huh? Maybe I can touch it and see the power it provides." He laughed quietly to himself as he stated the comment. After a few moments of walking he stops and looks up to see the grand relic museum in front of him. It's old crumbling state dictates how old the structure is. "Hmm.. this museum should be in a museum." The white hedgehog phases the booklet away with his telekenisis. "Welp let's see how the line is."

* * *

A grey hedgehog stood ontop of a tall building, eyeing the city below. He slowly lowered his eyes to the small booklet in his hand that told of a relic of power that was in the museum nearby. "I can see this going bad very quickly. If I don't hurry, who know what'll happen. I'll investigate." He sighed and smiled as he jumped over the side of the building landing on his extreme gear, Huricane. He road to the Museum and strode inside.

* * * "Fire Blast now, Liutas!"

A violent burst of flame erupted from the mouth of an Arcanine, engulfing a wooden dummy made to look like Toxic. Immediately the dummy went up in flames, soon crumbling into smoldering ashes that drifted to the ground. A small group consisting of a cat, a vixen, a ferret, a dragon halfbreed and a horned, cat-like creature were watching with great interest.

"Dayum, he smoked that dummy!" said the halfbreed. A purple cat was standing behind the Arcanine. She laughed.

"A shame we don't have the REAL thing here to practice on," she said.

***

"Oh..my.. God.." He exclaimed in disbelief as the he sees the line stretching far beyond what he expected. "Ugh gatta get in another way.."

***

Nearby the museum, 3 Humans were standing together talking, 2 males and a female. One male said to the other "and your sure this is where it was said to be" to which the other Male responded "yes Endac, i found a booklet on it on the sidewalk and i can feel a strange aura nearby, it has to be here." The female looks at them "why are we looking for this relic again?" Endac looks back at her with a stern look, his face almost to worn to be that of a 20 year old "because we can't let is't power get into an enemies hands, especially with Dracomancers here on this planet somewhere".

The Grey Hedgehog notices the group and stops and smiles as he recognises Endac's voice. "Well, never expected a Dragon born to be going to a museum. Trying to dig up some history?" he siad with a chuckle, walking up behind the group

Endac turns to see the hedgehog, scowling at the mobian until he recognizes him. He makes a half smile turning fully towards him "been years since i saw you Gale, you probably wouldn't recognize me or my friends here, correct?" Endac's companions nod towards Gale, then continue talking amongst themselves.

Gale chuckled and put a hand on the man's shoulder. "You kidding me, I'd recognise your cocky self righteous voice anywhere." He says, walking past the group and starting to head into the museum. "So, you here to watch over the relic as well, or just wanted to see me?" The hedgehog looses the grin and replaced with a stern face.

Endac starts chuckling before he replies by saying "well it was a miracle Selenia fell for you with that ugly mug so i don't think thats the reason, so the relic of course". He looks back at his companions and then back to Gale "still don't who they are?"

Gale looked at the two then back at Endac. "You really think I care? Come on, lets head inside, We need to go in the backdoor cause th front is way to crowded."

Endac sighs and shakes his head as Gale goes in. "why do i hang out with that guy, when he is such a dick?" The other male human walks up and says "dunno you tell me". Endac turns back to the Female "come on Jen, me and Yuyeri are going in". She looks up from talking to a local of the city and runs over to catch up with them, as they go inside the museum, saying "Hopefully we don't get caught back here".

Somewhere in the city, An ice blue hedgehog is jumping from roof to roof. "Tch it's too hot today." In the middle of his next leap, a piece of paper flies into his face, startling him and making him miss the next roof and down an alley into a dumpster.

Corsin hearing the comotion in the alley walks over and sees the hedgehog in the dumpster. He looks up to the sky were he fell from chuckling then looks back down at him. "i think you missed just slightly mate, need a hand?"

At the same place a firely red hedgehog with black gloves and a pink cat were walking near the alley. "What was that" said the red hegehog. " I dont know but lets approach it very slowly" Said the Pink Cat. (Guys as a reminder I type slowly because sometimes i need to think on what i need to type, i have a different style os doing these types of roleplays so bear with me ok?)

The hedgehog just simply lays in the dumpster for a few seconds before removing the piece of paper stuck to his face, a flyer showcasing the ancient relic at the museum, crunches it into a ball and fliks it "Sigh, no." he then leaps out of the dumpster and straight up the side of the building.

A purple hedgehog finds the paper. "Ive seen this thing before........" he said. -he picks up his scythe and walks towards the museum. "I wonder if its just an old statue"

Corsin looks up after the hedgehog. After awhile he decides to leave the alley and follow the other hedgehog to the museum (maybe i'll find something to do there)

* * *

"How did I get dragged into this...?" Fredrick asked in agony. In one hand, he clutched a map to some museum he'd never heard of before, and the other was being pulled by Alice. "How did I get dragged into your little circle at all?!"

"Destiny," Mazda said mater-of-factly, earning him an eye roll from the stag," Seriously, I've been hearing alot of rumors about this new exhibit, few of them good. I want to see what all the fuss is about and make sure there's no danger."

"So why are we bringing along Romeo and Juliet?" Fredick replied, glaring at the two humans of the group.

"I'm here to help Mazda. I'll be able to determine whether the artifact has any magical properties, and if so whether of dark or good magic," the blonde replied, her boyfriend draping his arm over her shoulders as he said," And I'm there to help!"

"No, you're there to 'help' Alice get accustomed with the janitors' close-" Mazda said before Ray tackled him to the ground.

"How did you find out!?" the boy demanded, hardly a few inches from the lion's face/.

"I walked in on you two," Fredrick replied, smirking at the memory.

"Where!?" Alice almost shreiked," The bedroom, bathroom, closet, office? Wal Mart!?"

"Guys," Mazda said, pushing Ray off," We're here."

* * *

Gale stood outside the back entrance waiting for people who wanted to get in that he knew could sneak past the front gaurd and gate. "This would so get me killed if I actually gave a flying flip about security." He says, chuckling and turning the corner to see who was coming.

***

Isaiah the Angelic Hedgefox stood on a rooftop overlooking the museum. "Strange power, eh?" He dives down, catching himself on his wings and lands softly, looking around. He walks up to the line and looks for anybody who he might recognize. "I might have to just wait and watch to see what happens." He then parkours up the wall and onto the roof of the museum silently.

 * * *

Smash finally pulled up in the museum's parking lot. Unfortunately due to the crowd, he was forced to park pretty far away from the actual building. "Tch. Figures there'd be a crowd." He mumbled to himself. He locked up his bike and hurried to get inside. An ancient artifact, dug up in the Kartilla Mines... He pondered on his way. ''I'm curious as to why they'd bring it to Station Square. Usually they keep their treasures to themselves...Still, what worries me is this "Latent power" supposedly in this thing. That's even more reason for them to keep it, yet they didn't...So what happens when someone steals this thing?'' Smash folded his arms, feeling troubled by it all. Trouble, that's what.

A young, mobian, pink, feline creature can be seen running around outside the museum. "This is the place, Rika-chan!" She shouted to a younger mobian raccoon dog with big round glasses trailing behind her. "Wow", said the raccoon dog, "this place is amazing!" The cat creature looked at the raccoon dog with a confused look on her face. "Rika-chan," she said, "how come you like old, dusty museum stuff so much?" The raccoon dog looked at her friend as if she was shocked. "Are you kidding?" She asked, "I never miss an oportunity to learn about history, and what better place to learn than a museum?!" The pink cat creature rolled her eyes at her nerdy friend. "Eh, If you say so.

***

Inside the museum, Endac is looking around the Museum looking for the artifact when he sees a crowd surrounding an exhibit. "That must be the artifact, now how do we get a look at it?" His two friends walk up behind him. Jen nods to Yuyeri and they both transform into miniature Dragons, Jen white, and Yuyeri red. Endac nods "should make it easier with one human instead of three."

***

On the other side of the room Apallo and Heidi are looking at the exibit called the "History of the Mobi-Gods"

"You know, If they only knew" Apallo said after remembering what happened during his last adventure and what happened to them.

"Sorry Master Apallo" Said Heidi ***

Somewhere in Station Square, a young seedrian girl with rough white leafy hair was playing on a strange guitar, she merely touched a screen to play every harmonic note. But then a piece of paper flew up into her face causing her to create a loud awful note! "What the heck!?" she moaned as she took the thing from her face with a scowl. The seedrian noticed it was a booklet for a museum, she opened it up and landed on a page for a strange artifact. Nora moaned and tossed the thing away, however she was indeed curious so she got up from her bench and began to walk to the museum with a wry grin on her face.

*** Meanwhile, A young Bandicoot was inside the museum, aparrently working as a gaurd. Gale stood next to him and surveyed the area as he looked for the relics location. "You know, you could have had a better cover Lucas." Gale said, noticing others aproaching. Lucas looked at his friend and rolled his eyes. "Be happy I let you in the back. You could still be waiting outside if it weren't for me." Gale rolled his eyes back. "Yeah yeah. your a great help. I got work to do." he says as he heads into the crowd to get to the relic.

***

Back outside in the line, Corsin is waiting tapping his foot impatiently. "Well this is boring" he says to himself noticing that the line wasn't moving. (Man i wish i could do something without regret, it's boring being a goody goody) his thoughts racing in anticipation. Suddenly a ghostly blurred form of a little Teddiursa wearing a Black hood like Corsin appears next to him. The teddiursa looks up at him "well you can do what ever you want, your neutral in most political sidings so you can choose to live inside or outside the law". Corsin looks down at the spirit and replies "yeah but it's to much of a pain to get out of jail, especially when there is something i want to see here, so i have to play goody goody". The spirit tilts it's head sideways in confusion "you creatures are so peculiar".

***

Back with the Purple Hedgehog known as Eclipse, he entered the building to try to find any machines of darkness.

"Finally!" Memphis said with a disdained voice as he enters the museum, he is greeted by a cheerful voice with which he recognized right away. "Memphis, hi." There stood a beautiful pink echidna, some of her bangs contained a soothing blue. He dress simple yet abit revealing. Her greeting soft and timid but it carried it's own presence. She smiles at the sight of her friend. "The stone brings you here as well?" Jasmine asked in her soft voice. Memphis walks over to her and smiles. "You called it. Seems this thing is a big deal." Jasmine looks around and plays with one of her dreadlocks. "My yes.. it has attracted quite alot of people."

Gale was walking through the crowd and spots Memphis, slightly bewildered at his appearence. "Huh, so it attracted you here too, eh?" He says with a smile as he approaches his old friend.
