A flash of dark color, the glint of light off a pair of mirrorred sunglasses. A giant stepped forwards, his dark blue eyes scanning over the gold sand spanning out before him.
Aries Azekara Hexon was tough. He didn't take sh*t from anybody, much less humans. So why was he out here again?... Right, he needed to get away from said race. After all, you could only live in the middle of the civilization that helped eradicate your entire race in exchange for so long without snapping... Which, actually, he did. About a year ago. Long story, and I don't have the time to tell it.
He spat the cigarrette out of his mouth, letting it smolder in the sand at his feet. He ignored the brutal temperature, shifting the weight of the three blades strapped to his back over slightly, making the straps more comfortable. It was getting hard to breathe with the weight of them all at the same point.
Another reason he came out here... He knew he had one, but he forgot what it was! Great.
Oh wait, now he remembered. What's a better place to get back in your prime skill level than a place that could throw practically anything at you at any time? Right. It made sense.
He pulled the dull combat knife out of his jacket sleeve, running the blade through his bangs. He needed a haircut... Ah, what the heck. He could do it himself.
He reached back to his Murasame, unsheathing it until the blade was about three inches out of its carrying case, and snapped it to the side, cutting the length of hair that went down to his knees off entirely. Much better, considering the heat of the desert. Scorching, to say the least possible.
Might as well get somewhere to "retreat" to after training, though. Who knows how long he would be out here, anyways?
Meh. It could wait for a bit. He had some time. He could set up in a good few hours, after all. Why not warm up a bit first?
He cracked his neck, snapping the cold, white adamantine steel Katana out of its sheath completely this time, his cruel Azekaran fanged smirk returning to his face. Ominous, but it had reasons despite that.
Good thing there wasn't an audience... I suppose.

"Whoa..." A young, yet somewhat gruff voice came from the shade beside a boulder nearby. A hedgehog with yellow streaks and eyes stared at Hexon with wonder, "Are you like...Ondray the Giant or somethin?" He got to his feet, "And you know...swords are bad for your health."

Hexon turned to face the obviously shorter hedgehog addressing him. Okay, so maybe there WAS an audience. Did it really matter?
Well, he could only say one thing. As far as he was concerned, it didn't really matter all that much.
"Giant, yes. I have no idea who you're talking about," He said, lifting the Katana to his shoulder. "And really, it depends on if you can use them or not. And trust me, I think I know how to use these pretty well, kid."
Sure, he may have said the last word with annoyance, but it was more mocking than anything. Hey, he liked messing with people, especially if they were mobian... and, as far as he could tell, this kid WAS.

Zappix's ear twitched and he narrowed one eye, "Hey, don't be getting an attitude. I was jus' sayin'. How did you get all the way out here anyway? And by any chance could you um....take me back?" He tried to make the famous 'puss in boots' eyes up at Hexon, even though he highly doughted it would work.

"I create, and control Chaos Energy. 'Nuff said," the teal Azekaran grunted, cracking his neck. "As for the second question, yes AND no. My ability to relocate has gone a bit haywire recently. I was actually aiming for the mountains. I can get you somewhere else, but it doesn't mean it'll be better."
He paused, still staring at Zappix.
"And stop making that ridiculous face. Using it only proves that you probably can't defend yourself in a real fight, which means I would slaugher you before you had a chance to blink."

Zappix's puppy face snapped into a scowl, "No, it just means i'm cuter than you are. And I get more ladies." He said arrogantly and smirked, closing his eyes as if to say "hah! what now?" But he opened them again and said, "And this place is too hot. I'd rather be ANYWHERE else."
His eyes suddenly widened as if he had just got some fabulous idea and he sprang out of the shade and up to Hexon, "HeY! Can we go to Scottland?!"

"Says the guy who I could've stabbed whenever I wanted to," Aries snapped, his smirk never wavering. "I'm pretty sure nobody would notice out here. And no, I doubt that much. Weren't you listening when I gave you the explanation?"
NOW the kid was starting to become slightly irritating. Great. He lowered the Katana, the tip of the blade resting in the sand at his feet.
"Besides, now that I'm here, I don't really think I WANT to leave. I'm here to brush up on my fighting."

Zappix growled, "What for? Who the h*ll do you plan on fighting now days? People fight by filing lawsuits or your *ss gets thrown in jail." He backed up to his shadey boulder and slid down it until he was sitting on the ground, arms crossed and a pouty look on his face.

"You obviously don't pay much attention, do you?" he muttered, shaking his head. "Lets see... There's actually a lot of people. Other Mercenaries, for example. Serial Killers. People the guys that hire me just want to die."
"Essentially, I'm a Mercenary going back in business, and being a hitman has always been my specialty."
True, actually... But you already knew that, I'm sure.
"You know that criminals don't ALWAYS get caught. I'm an enforcer for the guys who hire me. If you kill someone, I will kill you back. It's that simple."

Zappix arched a brow, "So you kill people for a living?" Great, so he was stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a 6 foot hitman hedgehog with a sword in his hand. Maybe going to Scottland WOULDN'T make this too much better...

(Seven feet, actually. XP)
Hexon grimaced. It was always THAT, huh?
"Sometimes. I'm more of a mercenary, though," He said, the wind kicking up and making sand ping off the blade of the 4'6 Katana.
"Not too big on killing people. I like nabbing the 'Alive' prices. Pays more than dead."
He looked over the shorter hedgehog standing before him.
"What about you, shorty? Why are you out here?"

Zappix eyes rolled upward but other than that, his position didn't change, "Well, I was running in some place people call the, 'Mystic', ruins and there was this room that had this outline in the dust like someone had been laying there right? So I went over to check that out and then there was this portal thing..." He paused, 'And then you just pounced on this energy swirling thing like some sort of retard"[/b] he finished, but no way you put it, there was no way around how stupid of an act THAT was, so he just raised his brows and desided that there was no need to finish

"Oh, that. It happens at the worst times, doesn't it?" the teal-furred Azekaran warrior mused, nodding. "Becomes quite annoying when you're trying to get something back, isn't it..."
Although it was meant to be a question, the last line came out more as a statement. Maybe that kind of thing happened to him before, or something.
"Look on the bright side- at least you weren't thrown into an ancient civilization of mobian-eating Squirrels. They're lucky I wasn't, either."
(Heh... Squirrels R Us.)

((LOL! what is it with Hexon and Squirrels?))
Zappix looked at him oddly, "I don't like squirrels. One of them stole my lunch on a field trip once then ran off." He smirked, "I would love to have seen the look on his face when he opened that bag." He laughed darkly

(YE KNOW EXACTLY!... I don't think I finished that line... Crap.)
"Good to see that you have at least SOME sense," Hex said, not laughing but clearly thinking it was a big joke. Okay, maybe this guy wasn't ALL bad... On second thought, that was still quite possible. Maybe he should think of something to throw him off. That might be interesting.
"Yeah, I hate squirrels myself. Quite annoying, and they only get worse if they swarm..."
He shook his head, returning to the original topic of mentality. He was here to brush up on fighting, not spark a conversation... And now that he thought about it, maybe this kid would be able to help him warm up for the real trouble sure to come in his time in this desert...
"Hey, you know how to fight?"
