Mequidra flowed along the street in the midday heat, looking in curiosity at everything around him. The large amounts of people, the street vendors, and the buildings were all new to him. He wondered how they all worked. Sighting a booth selling weaponry, he forgot what he was thinking about and moved up towards the merchant.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Let me hold one of those guns. Now."[/glow]
He did not speak, but his thoughts insinuated themselves into those nearby. The man behind the counter looked a little put off, but didn't give up any of his wares.
"When ya pay me, ah'll give ya yer gun."
Mequidra tilted his head. He held up his left arm, and it slowly began to lengthen and sharpen. He continued to speak as it hardened into a sword shape.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Perhaps I did not make myself clear. Allow me to hold one of your guns, or I will take it from your lacerated carcass."[/glow]
As he told the salesman this, he looked around, wondering if anyone had noticed what was going on.
[glow=gold,2,300]I don't understand this man. With a blade to his throat, he takes his merchandise over his life. Odd.[/glow]

Kruck walked own the street, the sun beating down upon him. He stopped and sat on a bench, wiping sweat of his brow.
Man it sure is hot out!
He looked around him at the various shops and stores, signs on their windows advertising their different wares to sell. His eyes scanned over all of them, stopped and backtracked to one that cuaght his eye.
A weapons shop.....looks like its air-conditioned too!
He strolled over to it, and entered. Instantly cold air rushed upon him, and he closed his eyes, savoring it.
Ahhhh
"You lacerated body!..."
Kruck turned at the sound of athreat and saw a very strange sight indeed. A sword was up againsta man's throat, with no one holding its hilt, and apperantly it was threatening the man too! Kruck wide-eyed, went over, overcome with interest and curiousity. "Whats going on here?" He asked the man boggle-eyed.

Mequidra turned his eyes toward the newcomer. They glowed brightly, and he appeared to have an amused expression on his face. The sword was sucked into his arm, and a hand appeared in its place.
[glow=gold,2,300]"I am conducting buisness with this rather dim-witted man. He does not appear to understand the full significance of his decision to keep his wares from me.[/glow]
His thoughts wound through the minds of the salesman and his inquisitor. The shapeshifter extended an arm toward the vendor, and int nearly doubled in length as its fingers clamped around his throat.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Just in case I have not made this clear, your interference will result in this man's death.[/glow]
He hoped he had an excuse to kill the man. The shapeshifter always liked killing things.

"Wait?" Kruck jumped forward. "I'm sure this kind man would give you his wares wouldn't he!" Kruck emphisized his point by grabbing some guns and throwing them at the shapeshifter, while grabbing some for himself. "There now you can kill him! heh heh heh  . In other words, proceed!" |

Mequidra smiled as new limbs pulled from his body to grab the guns thrown at him and set them down nearby.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Who are you? I rarely see a being so inclined to see another of its race be destroyed."[/glow]
Mequidra's extra arms returned to his body, and he turned all attention on he person who's throat his hand was around.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Do you not hear this? Another human wishes you to die, and I agree. So, that will be the case.[/glow]
The shapeshifter's bronze fingers glistened in the light as they extended and became sharper. Taking on the shape of knives, they closed quickly around the man's neck, quickly separating his head from the rest of him. Mequidra looked at the rapidly growing mess on the floor with mild disgust.
[glow=gold,2,300]"It is amazing how dependant solid creatures are on their heads."[/glow]

"Hey nice kill dude. Yeah, who cares about these wimps and good people, even if they are your own race?!" Kruck shrugged his shoulders. "They could all be killed, I don't care. " He looked over the shapeshifter with curiousity and interest. "So a shapeshifter eh? Havne't seen one of those for a while."
Kruck scanned the shop for more valuable weapons, but finding nothing of interest to him, he turned back to the shapeshifter. "The name's Kruck" Kruck said grinning. "What do ya say we go wreak some havoc or what not?"

[glow=gold,2,300]"Kruck . . . Hmm. I am Mequidra. And I intend to change the amount of shapeshifters very quickly."[/glow]
He looked at the the mangled corpse of his victim. He knew what he ought to do to it, but he was not strong enough. Not yet. Instead, he went over to it and pulled the body into him. He began to glow a bright green, then reverted to his original color.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Stronger and stronger with each new kill. In any case, I would enjoy more havoc, as I am weak from my travel. Also, you may have every weapon here once I am done with them."[/glow]
Having said this and disposed of the body, he slowly reached out and grabbed the closest gun. His liquid arm wrapped around his gun, sinking into every orifice. Then it spat the weapon out onto the ground. Shimmering brightly, his hand formed into a replica of the gun and fired off a few experimental shots into the wall.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Ahh. Very nice. Very nice indeed . . ."[/glow]

"Whoa...That was cool dude." Kruck eyes popped wide open  . Ok , kewl. He grabbed the gun that was spit out and all that were like it and stuffed them somwhere amongst him. "So where are we going to wreak havoc at?" he asked. |

The shapeshifter slowly blinked his large silver eyes. He hadn't yet considered where to go next, nor what awaited him there.
[glow=gold,2,300]"I am not yet powerful enough to do what I came to this planet to do. I need to go somewhere with a large amount of powerful weapons. Also, the fewer people the better. I do not need to start a general panic yet."[/glow]
Mequidra began stretching out new arms all over his bronze body, each one sucking up a weapon and then spitting it out. After disposing of the gun, each hand would morph into a copy of it and shoot at a wall. When he had absorbed all of the guns, the wall in front of him looked as though it had been hit by a direct meteor shower.
[glow=gold,2,300]"All these guns are yours. Inform me if you run out of ammunition. Now, where do you suggest we go?"[/glow]

"Hmm..............."
"Oh I know! We will go to a different part of this country, where a great weapons store is. Like you said, there's not many people, plenty of great weapons you can spit on and w/e, iots a perfect place." he looked at mequidra. "By the way, beforw we leave, whats your nae, I am the famous Kruck!"

((Mequidra already introduced himself. As did Kruck.))
Mequidra flowed upright, looking directly at Kruck. It was good that this man knew something about the planet, as that would make his job even easier.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Superb. How do we get there?"[/glow]
From the back of the shapeshifter's body, wings began to sprout. They grew in size till each was larger than Mequidra himself.
[glow=gold,2,300]"I assume we'll be flying?"[/glow]

(heh heh, oops...)
"u-uh yup. I was planning on taking my speeder, with you in it, but looks like we won't need to do that will we? Here, what we'll do, is I'll fly in my speeder, and you can follow." Kruck was walking out the door when he popped his head back in. "You'd better keep up thouh, ya know?"
And with taht he climbed into his speeder which was outside and after he waved to Mequidra to follow him, he zoomed off, a cloud of dust trailing after him.

[glow=gold,2,300]Mmm. A quick machine. However, I believe with the right adjustments . . .[/glow]
Mequidra's body quickly transformed almost entirely. His wings became significantly smaller, and his arms fell to the ground as the lower part of his body grew legs. Soon he looked like a winged quadraped. He began to beat his wings as quickly as a hummingbird and sped off across the landscape. His wings did not lift him into the air, but provided massive amounts of speed. In moments, he had caught up with the speeder and was running alongside it.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Is that all? You may need a faster vehicle."[/glow]

Mequidra watched the speeder pull ahead of him. THere was no way he had any hope of outrunning it as he was. But he always had a trump card. A hand pulled itself from his body and extended over to the speder. It pulled pieces of Mequidra onto the speeder, wrapping around it as it had done to the guns. The machine coughed and sputtered for a moment, and then returned to normal as the shapeshifter dropped off of it. In seconds, Mequidra was a ful-size copy of the speeder and was racing alongside Kruck.
[glow=gold,2,300]"I can mimic and improve upon most anything anyone does. Forgetting it will not serve you very well."[/glow]
