[Kate appears on the Plane with tattered clothes and no weapons, mid-roll, wrestling with a scaled, snarling creature that looks vaguely like a huge black lizard

except those usually can't spit acid

she manages to bend her legs above her and kick it in the stomach, sending it an impressive distance as she pushes herself to her feet

her shoulders are bleeding from deep scratches, her neck and face marred with light burns, but she's grinning fiercely]

So much for a pleasant welcome home.

[sees those scratches and burns there] Looks like you could use a Doctor! I can fix you up in a mo', if you'd like. [she bandaged him up, after all, it's only fair :|]

[tosses a glance over her shoulder, smile turning absently grateful] Sure thing, once I've dealt with - [it's charging towards them, and her head snaps back - to find it's charging towards HIM]

Oh, for - [jumping to intervene now]

[oooh giant demon lizard :O] Thanks for that! [curiously] D'you think we could tame it somehow?

[this is a quick "what the hell are you on" look before she dodges some acid; she tries to make the thing focus on her, but she's still in front of the Doctor, just in case

shortly, though she's focusing on the demon] No.

[pouts] Damn. In that case, hang on a mo'! [he drops off the Plane, before returning with a sword, and tossing it to her. Have fun, Kate!]

[jumps aside when the demon swipes, turning in midair to catch the sword with a surprised smile]

Huh. Thanks. [turns just in time to block a claw with it] Won't work on the scales, but if I can get it in the eye...

[beams, before fishing his sonic screwdriver out of his pocket, and shining it right at the demon lizard for a little distraction] That ought to do the trick.

[oh, that gets a grin] Nice. [the lizard stumbles, and Kate mentally notes "light sensitivity" for the Unknown Demons Notebook as she moves in

the thrust is smooth and precise, and she merely looks grimly satisfied when the sword sinks through its eye with a distinct squelching sound]

[also apparently lizards can see color! the things you learn from wikipedia! xD Nine's expression is both impressed and vaguely disappointed -- he didn't really want to kill the lizard, but it couldn't be helped]

Well done! Now give me that, and I'll be back to fix you up. [gestures at the sword]

[catches that look after pulling the sword out, and looks faintly sympathetic] Just remember it's actually descended from giant monsters from hell.

[walks forward, handing the sword over] Careful, the blood might burn.

[and it does. ow.] Right, back in a mo'! [and he drops off the Plane again! He returns a few moments later, with a handful of...nothing. Or so it seems, at first. Then he snaps his fingers, and a small swarm of sparkly golden nanogenes fixes up the burn on his hand. He then gently nudges them over to Kate, and they get to work :3]

[that gets an eyeroll, but she waits patiently

and then looks highly sceptic] ...Pixie dust?

[and then the nanogenes work their ~~magic~~ skience, and her eyes go wide as she turns her head to watch it all]

Wow.

[have an eyeroll back] Nanogenes! Subatomic robots. They've just repaired all your cuts and bruises, free of charge! [he scoops them all back into his pocket, and snaps his fingers again]

[still observing all the wounds that are suddenly not there] Very handy.

[grins] They are, yes. Picked them up in 1941! Had to do a bit of deprogramming, of course; don't want them turning my companions into fully-equipped Chula warriors, thanks.

Those are aliens, I'm guessing.

Yep! My new companion tried to con me with one of their ambulances, and it had a bunch of nanogenes inside. Nearly wiped out the whole human race, but then they got clever. After I emailed the upgrade, I snagged a few for my TARDIS. [he is clearly leaving out large chunks of this story]

[What. The. Hell.]

[This is why minding your own business never works.]

What can that be stopped with?

[welcome to her life.

the creature is on its feet now, advancing slowly; she gives Satoshi an acknowledging glance]

Don't know the species, so I can't tell you specific weaknesses. I'm hoping breaking its neck will work.

[walking around to pick up a spare wooden chair he just spotted. Hey, any weapon in a meelee fight]

Impact to stun it?

[slight, approving smile, eyes still on the demon; she's advancing too, now, keeping its attention] Can't hurt.

[With her keeping its attention, he steps in to strike at the thing around its midsection, hard]

[the demon stumbles, and Kate rushes it, delivering a sharp knee to its vulnerable throat]

Thanks. [she says almost cheerfully, as she dodges the acid the demon is hacking and spitting, trying to get a grip on its neck]

[Even after all the weird stuff in his life, Satoshi has to back up, because that is a bit disgusting.]

[To be helpful, Satoshi breaks off one of the legs of the chair and moves around the demon, avoiding its legs to try to stab into its side. Even if it doesn't cut through, it might help wound it. (Or miss and hit a leg. Really, he's not picky.)]

[the leg doesn't pierce, just scrapes at the scales, but it's a distraction, and helps Kate get a firm grip

one sickening crack later, the demon slumps]

[Satoshi takes a step back, sets down the stick. He schools his expression into blankness.]

What was that.

[It isn't inflected like a question. His tone is only flat.]

[she drops the thing and steps back, ignoring the scraping on her hands] Demon.

In my world, that means, generally, descendants of the giant monsters that used to rule the Earth.

[a pause]

Why was it attacking you?

It was attacking other people, first - I got in the way.

Why was it attacking them?

[Axel takes over where Kate left off, sending two fiery chakrams at the acid-spitting lizard thing, followed by a swath of fire that looks like he just took lessons from Zuko.]

Someone called for pest control?

Edited 2010-04-07 08:02 (UTC)

[her eyes widen, quite a bit; she sounds surprised and, well, envious]

Most exciting pest control I've ever seen.

[the demon is still standing, but it's fairly charred, screaming in rage and pain as it rushes haltingly towards Axel]

[Yes. Envy the kid with crazy red hair and fire powers, that'll get you somewhere.]

I'm just that good.

[He winks at Kate slyly as the chakrams circle around and hit the demon again in an explosive 'x' formation. He's already moving out of the way; he blinks out of vision to stand some yards behind the demon, arms outstretched, gloves pulsing with dark fire. Then he lets it go, like missiles of fiery death.]

Pew pew, baby.

[flame-throwers are bulky, okay

she smirks at that, stepping back slightly as the fire does its wonderful work]

Won't hear any denials from me.

[Axel catches the chakrams effortlessly when his barrage of fire and death is finished.]

Think it's dead?

[Kate shrugs, strides up to the smoking body, and kicks it in the head] Seems like it.

Good. I don't like demons in my space.

You okay? Healing magic isn't really my thing, but I have some potions that'll help.

Need some extra fists?

[flashes her a quick grin] Always appreciated. Careful of the mouth, it spits acid.

[And here's Yuri, coming in very late.] And here I thought that I was the only one that dragged monsters here.

[never minds late help!] This is my first time. Might make a habit of it, though.

[Pulls on his claws] So long as it gets taken care of, I don't think anyone is even going to notice.

What is that thing anyway?

Aside from a pain in my ass? [the demon suddenly charges, and she leaps aside with uncommon speed and a harsh sort of grace; she follows through with a sharp kick to the monster's head that sends it reeling again] Some species of demon, not sure which.

[Yuri raises an eyebrow, a bit impressed] Just a demon, huh? I thought it was going to be a challenge! [It's his turn to charge towards said demon. He dodges a swipe it makes at him and delivers a kick to it's chin before raking his claws along it's throat]

[smirks, neatly stepping aside to give him more room to manoeuvre] Can't get the heavy hitters all the time.

[it staggers, gasping and gurgling, smoking blood leaking from the scratches]
