The first encounter

Scar got home and looked around, he did not see Blade anywhere but was suspicious of him not being around, indicating he regenerated, and went into his house. He fell asleep almost instantly and more figures wearing black armor watched from a distance. A few days went by and things settled down between Scar and most of the residents, but a few were not getting the idea that Scar meant well and were still a little bitter to him.

Scar had been around town a few times looking at all it had to offer. He had died as well; Mole had run him over when Scar had tried to help Handy repair a oil truck he was somehow driving, Lumpy had been Lumpy and caused a mass burning of the town when he was trying to get Christmas lights out early, and an assortment of other deaths. Scar was in his kitchen when Ryan spoke for the first time since Scar died for the first time "have you noticed things have been changing in small steps? " Ryan asked "what do you mean Ryan?" Scar asked, slightly confused "well, first of all you have tree limbs that are broken in the back yard and other things like doors that you left closed being opened" the general said, Scar started to remember all of these things "yeah…something is going on, I wonder if Blade still has a bone to pick with me…"

In a cell that is dark and in a place that smells of rotting flesh and death, Blade wakes up from being drugged "… where the hell am I?" Blade thought. The sound of footsteps was heard and two figures wearing red armor came in with what looked to be a pile of raw meat and threw it into the cell "don't try to eat that" the first one said "it will get you first" the second one said and they both laughed, and then walked away. "This is just raw meats…what can it possibly do to a brute like me?" Blade thought and started to walk towards it, the pile of meat moved towards Blade and a tentacle came out of it and acted like it was looking Blade over "what the hell is this thing?" Blade stared at it with both confusion and astonishment. The meat jumped onto Blade and covered him entirely faster that the eye can blink and would not let Blade go, "fuck, it's going to try to kill me" Blade thought as he kept slashing and cutting, trying to get the thing off of him but the more he slashed at it, it would just cover him where he got free again. The two figures came back and looked into the cell "well… he didn't listen" the first one said "yeah…OR-P495-S5 let's see how well you can do" the second one said as the meat let go of the now unconscious Blade and started to change "well…I can't tell the difference based on the physical look" the first one said "speak now OR-P495-S5" the second one said "I am Blade…I am trying to find the cursed Idol in Happy Tree Town in order to use it to hurt the people who live in the town" it said with an almost identical voice to the real Blade.

"well, let's ship it out and catch the real target…but I still want to sap this one of his abilities" a new figure said, he was huge in comparison to the other figures and had a huge trench coat style suit, but like all of the armor of these figures it was all one piece, and had huge boots that mane a clang when he put his foot on the ground and made a click when he lifted his foot, his hands were large enough to grab a grapefruit in between his index finger and his thumb and were covered by large armored gloves, he was slightly hunched from his massive size blocking him from standing at full height due to the low ceiling. "yes sir, commander" both of the smaller figures said in unison and took OR-P495-S5 out of the cell and walked off with it "you are going to help me kill all of the rest of the physically weak people in all of existence" the large figure said to the unconscious Blade before closing the cell and walking away.

Scar had finished making an assessment of the places where it was obvious that something or someone had been using to move around in the back of the houses. There were trails of dragged prints, almost like animals traveled there a lot, but upon closer inspection Scar could see footprints and drag marks that were not like an animals, but more like a gun that was lazily dragged across the ground "well…someone has been through here" Scar thought. He did not notice someone was behind him until it was too late "hello there" came a familiar voice, Scar turned around as, who Scar assumed was Blade, struck him in the temple and Scar fell unconscious.

Stripes had just came home when she saw something big moving behind her neighbors house "he was shorter…right?" Stripes thought. Her curiosity got the better of her and she went over to Scar's backyard and looked around, she saw a blood trail and decided to follow it "why am I doing this, he is from the tiger army…I guess it is just my curiosity" Stripes thought as the trail of blood she was following ended in a clearing "well…the trail ends here" Stripes thought as she heard a sound. A few figures were moving about nearby, looking like they were setting stuff up, Stripes could not get a clear view, but thought they were blue or wearing blue. There were more footsteps and the figures disappeared, Stripes quickly climbed up a tree to avoid detection "what is going on out here…" Stripes thought as men in red armor moved into the clearing, followed by the Blade replica dragging an unconscious Scar at the opposite side of the clearing.

They met in the middle of the clearing and stood there for a minute, looking around to see if anyone was there "so, did you get the target OR-P495-S5?" one of the men asked , the Blade replica showed the men the unconscious Scar and nodded "target has been acquired and is ready for reintegration". Stripes was going to get out of there when a gunshot rang out, causing her to let out a high pitched scream and fall out of the tree, losing her hat on the way down, she landed as a firefight erupted between the red men and the blue figures she had seen earlier, the Blade replica ran off in the direction that the figures were setting stuff up in, dragging Scar as it did, and got caught in a trap. The trap was s pike that sprang out of the ground and impaled the replica from its right leg and worked its way upwards, then another one shot up on the left side and did the same to the left leg "well, I will just relive you of your load there sir" said a black armored man as he took Scar and hosted him on his shoulders "have fun getting impaled on both sides" he said as he turned around and walked off, the spike met at the replicas midsection and started to pull it in two, upon doing so, Blood and internal organs splattered all over the ground, followed by the body that once held them.

Stripes was sore all over and tried to get up, the firefight was still going on and she noticed she did not have her hat "where is my hat?" Stripes was in a panic to get her hat back and scrambled over to get it. One of the blue figures saw her trying to get that hat and saw a spike on a wrist mounted device "that one over there has irregular brainwaves, I will get her" he said as he moved to intercept her when she got her hat "why does this one want a hat so bad when there is a battle going on all around her?"he thought as he got to the hat at the same time as her. Stripes did not notice him as she got the hat back and put it back on her head there we go, now to get out of here" a gunshot from behind her made her scream and jump right into the blue figures arms "what the hell" he said as he dropped her, Stripes hit the ground and looked up to see him have the butt of the gun in a striking position "oh fu-" she was interrupted by being knocked out by the impact of the gun.

The black armored man took the still unconscious Scar to a safe spot and teleported to an almost identical location, but it was nowhere near the same and disappeared in a flash of light. Blade was strapped to a table with all sorts of medical supplies around him and was being cut open, but his regenerating abilities made it hard for the people working on him to make any progress. Stripes was moved by the blue figure to a small area full of people with all sorts of wires and devices drilled into their heads and was put in a pod, then the blue figures moved and took everything and disappeared in a flash of light. A black armored figure was sitting in a chair surrounded by terminals, small whirs and clicks of machinery were coming from him "so… I helped the one that was created here but lost two who had no connection to this place…" he slams his fist on the arm of the chair and it bends, then he puts his head in his hands and started to let out dry sobs "no matter what I do I fail and cause more people pain". He gets up and walks away from the terminals and to a dark doorway "I am the cause of this mess…al of it" he mutters and walks through the door and it shuts.
