Uplifted Animals fight to discover why they were created |
| [Introduction]
OK People I’m going to try something I tried before but with a twist so I’m not fussy when people do thing differently from my established canon since I’ve long since given up on putting my Humanimal stories on WDC since I’ve revised canon so much and put so much heart and soul into them...So basically what I’m doing is making the ‘Store Brand’ version of my Humanimals stories and instead of Planet Mizzer the planet we’ll be starting off with is called ‘New America’ (In this context we’re kind of saying the quiet part out loud that if you’ve read those stories you’ll understand the joke) Plot: This is an RP Fanfic where we’ll be playing one of the ‘Humanimals’ on the Planet New America seems 100 years ago shortly after the end of the 20th Century...Something...The humans won’t say what and the New Animals dutifully believe it’s not their place to know decided to leave Earth and ‘Like the Pilgrims’ find a new planet in search of a better life...Using a wormhole shortcut they found a very Earth-like Planet on the other side of the Milky Way with one yellow sun, one silver moon, the planet did seem to have less land on it than earth, currently only the ‘Western Continent’ has been colonized in the first 100 years since the Earthlings landed and mostly the Northern Half which has lush green meadows and forests with trees as tall as skyscrapers, south of the Equator is terrifying jungle where exploration has been put on hold because every expedition has never come back to alive Rules: 1 Humanimal Player Character per Writer for this team (Sorry for bringing this up again I just feel the need to play it safe) 2: The Only Animal Species allowed are Modern Day Animals no mythical creatures like dragons and no extinct creatures like dinosaurs or dodos only species that would have been around in the 20th Century and among them two exceptions brainless faceless animals like sponges and jellyfish and ‘hive mind’ insects like bees and ants (Because the Anthropomorphism Process can’t give individuality to a single bee or ant anymore than it can to a single human skin call) 3 Non Anthro Animals do exist both to provide food for carnivore species and they exist in zoos as a kind of (Back up supply) In case any species of New Animal for any reason goes extinct in New America they have regular Non-Anthro versions they can make new one Anthros from the Native Animals of New America also exist a lot of them seem vaguely Saurian from the ‘Long Necked Sapsuckers’ who are like Sauropods with Anteater snouts who suck sugary sap from the giant trees to ‘Wandering Howlers’ who seem like the reptilian version of big cats with floppy frills like ears and droopy snoots like a Moose their name comes from their piercing cry that seems to stun their prey they seem to find New Animals much more palatable than their Native Prey |
| Name: Henrietta Pigsy Age: 10 Sex: Female Species: Domestic Pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) Breed: Large White Occupation: Student Personality: Bright and spirited Henrietta has grown bored with her life in the small town of Green Meadows and yearns for adventures, lately inspired by Nancy Drew and Scooby Doo Cartoons she's been thinking of trying to become an amateur detective! Likes: Chocolate Bon Bons, Truffles (The fugus not chocolate truffles), Ballet Dancing, Reading Books and Romantic Daydreams Dislikes: Saurkraught, Hot Weather, (She sunburns easily) Rap Music, People assuming she's crass because she's a Pig Henrietta sat in math class watching the clock waiting for the day to end, while she was a good student she had become bored with everyday life in this small town of Green Meadows...Like a Disney Princess 'She wanted adventure in the great wide somewhere' the only real excitement lately was getting ready for Halloween but that was two weeks away, and she was ten years old she would soon get too old for trick or treating...And she wasn't sure she wanted to go to a typical teenage Halloween party she heard those things got kind of rowdy...And things worse than rowdy... |
| Name: George White Age: 12 years Sex: Male Species: Artic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) Occupation: Student Personality: Flighty. - his family tends to travel the world. Likes: To look up different flight plans, and far away locations. Dislikes: Staying in one place for too long. George was looking at a map of the known world. He wanted to travel to the unknown and little-explored sections. He wondered what was out there. But, he was too young, yet, to go that far on his own. |
| Just remember we're not on Planet Earth we're on Planet New America and not all the planet has been colonized yet just one continent so traveling can be dangerous of course if you're planning to make them explorers that is pretty cool in this context After the school bell rang Henrietta grabbed her backpack and started walking home, her friend George an Arctic Tern joined her "So...Any plans for Halloween?" The Bird asked "I don't know..." Henrietta said, "...I feel I'm getting too old for Trick or Treating..." "But you get candy," Said George "and I know you love candy!" "There's more to this life than chocolate despite how delicious it is!" The Piglet snapped then she sighed "I don't know George...I just feel so bored in this middle-of-nowhere town! I wish something interesting would happen!" |
| "Depends on the route," said George. "Take a safe path - smooth sailing. Take a dangerous one, you get blown of course, and end up stranded on an island that isn't very friendly." |
| Just then as they were walking the Autumn breeze blew a piece of paper that landed at Henrietta's trotters...She picked it up and as she read it she couldn't believe what was reading! "At last..." She said "...I may finally learn the secret of the mystery I've been searching the answer to all my life! The secret of how and why we Humanimals were created! Tonight I shall go down to the abandoned factory near the swamp to photograph those I believe are responsible for this conspiracy!" |
| "Sounds like something of a crackpot talking, or something for the police to deal with," said George. |
| Henrietta didn't listen instead she sniffed the note to try to discern the species of the author... "I smell the scent of Housefly!" She exclaimed, "One of the Bug People wrote this!" Like most Vertebrate Cubs Henrietta knew very little about the Bug Humanimals often they forgot they even existed until they saw one |
| George decided to keep his opinion to himself. While a strange note didn't interest him much, keeping his friend safe did. "So, what do you plan on doing?" he asked. "This sounds like something for an adult, maybe even the police." |
| Henrietta tucked the note into her pocket. "I'll...Show this to my folks when I get home..." But secretly she was planning to go to the abandoned factory to investigate. |
| But when Henrietta got home she did not show the note to her parents instead she went to her room and prepared a backpack with her detective supplies. |
| George had a funny feeling. As a result, he got a bag ready, and snuck out the window. |
| Henrietta made her way to the abandoned factory dressed in a trenchcoat and fedora to conceal herself She had to climb over the fence to get inside...Once she was there she heard voices...She heard them saying things like "You'll never get away with this!" and then "We already have, we just have to tie up all the loose ends, like you" Peeking behind a doorway she gasped! She saw two bugs, a Fly and a Beetle, and a Rabbit dressed as a cop tied up and there were four humans standing around them. "You'll be our first experiments to test the new process!" Said one of the humans "To see if we can extract the 'magical energy' from Humanimals and use it to advance our evolution to Godhood." |
| "Well, as my partner used to say, you're going to burn in Hell," the rabbit said. "Besides, I've already sent photos of you lot to him. Even if he doesn't find out who you are, you won't be able to leave this city, especially since I told him that if he doesn't hear me talking the next time I'm supposed to contact him, in ten minutes, to assume that someone is pretending to be me." "Do you think that scares me?" the human, who had a wolf-headed cane, asked. "I can buy cops." "Not this one," said the rabbit. "He's the kinda cop that, once he learns that you killed me, he'll make sure that you won't be able to breath for much longer, especially with an extra big hole in your head." |
| Thinking there wasn't going to be a lot of time until the hostages were killed Henrietta picked up a pebble and through it into the room, she was intending to hit one of the villains but instead it just bounced on the hard floor and made a lot of noise. "Who did that?!" Said the man with the wolf-headed cane "Someone else is here!" Henrietta quickly ran away |
| George soon found himself near the factory district. "Where could she be?" he muttered. |
| Henrietta was running as fast as she could unfortunately the sound of her hooves against hard pavement was a clear giveaway. For the three Humanimals tied up all the men leaving the room to chase whoever might be out there was a golden opportunity! "Help me chew on these ropes..." Frank said "...With any luck we should be freed!" |
| "Okay," said Frank. "I should be able to gnaw through one person's topes, and they can set me free, and the third takes watch, until one of us frees them." |
| "Free me first..." Buster said "...Gordy is too much of a flight risk." Meanwhile, Henrietta was just turning a corner of one of the buildings when she heard a voice say "It's a Pig Humanimal! Oh shit, it's just a kid, a piglet!" "I don't care if they're a child!" Said a great booming voice "We can't leave any loose ends!" |
| "George!" Henrietta exclaimed "I knew it..." The Tern-Boy said as he flew overhead "..I knew you would try something stupid!" And George knew they were in a real pickle because the Piglet was too heavy for him to pick up and fly out |
| "Aw frick!" One of the Goons said "A Bird Humanimal!" "Shoot at him!" Said the man with the wolf-headed cane. Meanwhile Franke had chewed through Buster's ropes and when they heard the gunshots they decided to leave Gordy still tied up because he was still too much of a flight risk and because they heard the Humanimals the human cultists were chasing were cubs, Frank grabbed his gun the cultists had confiscated and went out the pursue the cultists. |
| Frank then passed his phone to Buster. "Press the Emergency Call button, and you tell them that there's a Code 9274 at this location. You got it? Code 9274." "What does that mean?" Buster asked. "Off-duty officer involved shooting, multiple armed hostiles, with civilians in danger from said hostiles," said Frank. "Now, you keep safe, and I'll go on ahead, and try to deal with these guys long enough for back-up to get here." |
| "Use the tranquilizers..." The man with the wolf-headed cane "...If we can get both of the cubs alive we'll have more Humanimals we can harvest magic from..." Meanwhile Henrietta came to an area full of empty crates and so she decided to hide in one of them |
| Frank saw one of the abductors. He aimed his gun at the man's foot, and fired. |
| "Ow!" The cultist exclaimed, "#*(% That Bastard Rabbit got his gun back!" Henrietta heard the gunshot in her crate and shivered wishing she could be like a turtle or snail and hide in a shell. Meanwhile Buster was calling the police telling exactly what Frank had told him to say |
| George found another can, and threw it at one of the armed humans, from the relative safety of the rooftops. |
| However the man with the Wolf-Headed Cane was prepared for this kind of emergency...Like the Penguin his cane...Had helicopter propellers so he could make a quick getaway even if his goons were captured. "This isn't over!" the mysterious man shouted as he went up into the clouds |
| That was when George grabbed him with his talons. "Not so fast! Lower yourself to the ground, or we'll see if you can fall unharmed." |
| However, the man shot George with a tranquilizer dart causing the young bird to fall to the ground. |
| Seeing the young bird fall, Frank ran as fast as he could, hoping to catch him. |
| Franke managed to catch the Tern but since the young bird was nearly the same size as himself Frank landed on his back! "Sorry, we could find you sooner..." Joe said as he walked up to Frank "...These guys seemed to use some kind of 'cloaking device' to conceal their location." "Also we were moved from place to place before coming back here..." Frank said as he gently put the Bird down |
| "In any case, good to see you, Joe," said Frank. The older human cop chuckled. "It's what partners do." "Figure out who that fella was?" Frank asked. "The guys at headquarters are working on that," said Joe. |
| "There's also a Piglet around here..." Frank said, "...I overheard them talking about it." Buster who came along wriggled his antennae and said "I smell her! She's in one of those crates!" |
| Henrietta came out of the crate and saw a Rabbit and a Blister Beetle "I...I found a note written by a Fly Humanimal saying he had found the secret to why we Humanimals had been created!" "That's Gordy." Buster said "We learned quite a bit from him and our captors while we were held captive, apparently his wild theroes which he wrote into his stories at school hit a little too close to home so members of this cult who worked in the government were alerted and they had him sent to St Orga's School for Gifted Cubs where most of the students are just gifted cubs attending regular classes but cubs suspected of having supernatural powers are put in spacial classes away from all the others and monitered..." |
| "Let me guess..." Frank said "...The Headmistress of the School was offending you would even accuse the school of such a thing?" "Yeah..." Joe sighed "...Can't tell if she is in on or she genuinly doesn't know about the secret black ops operation in what is supposed to be her school." "The Fly is a bit of flight risk." Frank said "Also now this two cubs basically need to be put in witness protection." |
| "That's going to be a special type of nightmare, where paperwork is concerned," said Joe. |
| "Wait!" Henrietta said "I found Gordy's note! You owe me big for getting you guys out of trouble!" |
| "Yeah...But let's say those weird humans did manage to extract magic from you and got what they wanted? Who knows what kind of disaster might have happened if I wasn't there to stop them?!" Buster turned to Frank "She's...Kind of got a point? I'm not noramally relegious but this feels like what humans call Divine Providence." |
| "Or it could just be some cubs out past their bedtime, who ended up in a dangerous section of town," said Joe. "I don't get into religious stuff either. In any case, that fella's face will soon be placed in plenty of databases, with a nice record that includes multiple kidnappings, including that of a police officer, attempted murder, as well as child endangerment and attempting to kill children. He won't be having any fun for a while." |
| Buster however wasn't so sure...After everything he had heard from Gordy... So keeping his lower arms to write a note he quietly passed the note to Henrietta saying 'Here's my phone number, let's talk later' |
| "I can honestly say, this is one night where I don't mind going home and having to listen to all the crazy neighbors," said Frank. |
| So Henrietta and George were taken to the hospital mostly to see how fine George was after taking that tranquilizer as a dosage normally meant for a mammal can be really harmful to a small bird, Henrietta kept the note from the Blister Beetle deeply buried in her pocket she didn't want anyone to find out! |
| Frank and Buster soon made it to their apartment. "See you in the morning," said Frank. "Still got to give the station our report." |
| "Well I'm just looking for a long sleep..." Buster said When Henrietta got back to her parents she was grateful they just gave her hugs and kisses and didn't immediately ask questions like what was she doing over there? Henrietta quickly went over to her journal and wrote down everything she had learned so far from the night's adventure |
| George, after recovering from the drugs, managed to find sleep in his own bed. |
| Then after a sleepless night tossing and turning in her bed, at 5 AM she pulled out the phone number and called Buster. Buster woke up and picked up the phone that was next to his bed. "Kind of early isn't it?" The Beetle asked rubbing his eyes "I want to talk..." Henrietta said "...But I fear doing it in the house where my parents can hear." |
| "Some people want to sleep! Like the poor janitor that pulled an all-nighter!" Buster groaned at the sound of his neighbors. "Know the feeling," he said. "Talk to you in a few hours." |
| But then Buster realized he had an idea "Meet me at the park after lunch..." He said quietly then hung up |
| Henrietta took her lunch of one lettuce and summer squash sandwich, a box of apple juice, and a candy bar to the park where she sat on the bench and ate while waiting for the beetle to show up |
| Frank made his way to the station, and located his partner. "Hey Joe. Any of those guys talk last night?" The human cop snorted. "Load of rubbish. Gods and slavery seemed to be the gist of it. A real set of screwballs in my opinion." |
| As Henrietta finished the last of her lunch she saw Buster approaching. He sat on the rock next to her. "So..." Buster said "...You found Gordy's note what did it say?" "It was just him saying about to find out the real reason we Humanimals were created..." Buster sighed "Yeah..." Gordy was always interested with that in our cubhood conversations...That's what got him sent to St. Olga's School for Gifted Cubs" |
| George was trying to fill in the blanks from the prior night. Who was that fella that shot him? |
| Buster told Henrietta about what Gordy had told him, Frank had been too under the spell of the tranquilizer to pay attention during that time, Insects seem to be better able to recover from these sorts of things better than vertebrates... "So..." Buster said "...What Gordy told me he had learned it at the very tail end of the 20th century around...Late 1998...A crystal meteorite of many colors crashed into the Earth landing in the Yukon...The scientists who found it discovered animals from all over the area were drawn to it and it was making strange uneartly sounds...The Scientists quickly discovered they could use the different vibrations of the different colored crystals to...Create a flow of energy and if an Animal was in the middle of this energy flow...It would transform into a Humanimal!" |
| "The first Humanimal ever made was a mongrel dog named Rover..." Buster said "...He's in none of our history books and he didn't come to New America with us...Two years later a group took the Crystal Meterite for themselves along with a whole bunch of animals of every species they had discovered could be turned into Humanimals..." |
| "They took the meteorite with them on the spaceship..." Buster said "...And you got to understand this is like a big meteor! It's like as big as a cottage and the spaceship was the size of a small mountain to hold all those humans and animals, what the humans would do would take and animal and put them in the center of the meteor where all the colors met and the humans would start the vibrations by banging the different colored crystals like drums!" |
| "Yeah...Gordy said he learned all this from the cultists' documents...He said that these Cultists had been secretly influencing New America ever since it began, their interest in Humanimals was so they could 'evolve' into Gods, despite the fact when they put a Human in the center of the vibrations it didn't work that way..." |
| "Why would they want to be Gods anyways?" Henrietta asked. "They're pretty powerful as it is." |
| "I think..." Buster said "...Is they don't want the limitations of living creatures anymore, they don't want to die or have to eat, drink, sleep or even breathe! They want to shed their physical bodies and become beings of pure mind..." Henrietta realized something else... "If our ancestors were transformed on the ship, that should mean we still have the Crystal!" Buster nodded "...Either it's still on the spaceship where we parked it on the Western Coast of this continent...Or they moved it to another probably secret location..." |
| "And...That's all I've learned so far..." Buster said "...But I think we need you and maybe that bird to help us on our quest, I'm just a bug!" |
| "I'm gonna have to talk to him..." Buster said "...But I think I have what he doesn't and Gordy has it to...Connections to the Spirit World which I believe is the key to solving this whole mess." |
| OK now that we got all the lore out of the way, I'm putting this story on hold because I do not want another case where I'm constantly updating the campfire and running to greet Trick or Treaters also I think I'm putting this story on hold until after the election The End! |
