Alexx whispered the name of the liquid, and its origin, softly under her breath and smiled. Someone else from space. She felt more at home than she had in years on this planet. While the others eyed him suspiciously, Alexx simply jogged over. She motioned to the wyvern as it wandered off, simply with a tip of her chin in its direction.
Teach me about them. If I'm going to be stuck here as I have been, I may as well learn, and I have a feeling you're the only one who wouldn't look at me as if I was crazy.

Kujo felt at the ground where the two humans bodys formerly were to make sure nothing remained. Standing up to look at Alexx he slowly pulled up his mask to rest it on his head. Looking at her with his cold scary eyes Kujo said. "You are stuck here? And you wish to learn about the druac? Well, I am in need of an appretice and my clan has taken outsiders before." He smacked a hand against his chest kicking up dust from the brute power of it. "I will teach you.
When my people come back for me in a couple of years I will take you as well should you so desire" He put his heavy hand on her shoulder. To examine her. "You are small female.... the others will wonder why I have taken you as my appretice
He waved to the group standing well away probably out of fear of him. Kujo said. "I bet you must wonder why I am here yes?" I am with the huntsclan. We travel the dimensions and galaxys hunting dragons." he showed her the alien looking dragon skull on his hip. "our fathers have done as there fathers have. There are rules to the hunt. And if broken. There are severe consequances"
He scanned the distance and what looked like a rainstorm brewing. "My clan came here to break in the young hunters of our people. But we have not been to this planet in a hundred years. The druac here showed sighns of intelligence. And so the hunt was called off so that I may study them.
The little alien pocket dragon stuck its head out his hip pouch to look at Alexx and let out a few inquisitive clicking sounds. "This is Natouida. It means little knife. She is my pet and best friend." he reached in a hand under the reptiles belly to lift her out the hip pouch. "She is not native to this world as you can probably tell by the markings" In the suns light her back was covered in faint tiger looking stripes. Natouida tilted her head to look at Alexx with curious eyes. "They are not very bright creatures.... but loyal to there masters to the death. They dont care if you are ugly or handsome, Rich, or poor. All they ask is your heart, and they give you theres" he raised her up to make clicking sounds of his own through closed teeth. The little reptile returned the sounds to rub the flat of its head against his cheek. Kujo put her back in his hip pouch to look back at the group.
Kujo wispered to Alexx. "I mean no harm to anyone. I am merely studying the two druac. Keep everyone off my back" He looked to Kit and furrowed his eyebrows. "Especially the female Druac. She is showing all the sighns of an aggressive territorial male. Should I feel threatened and be attacked. Killing her is the only response.
He very well could kill her. Kujo had battled and killed far bigger, stronger, and dangerous dragons on other planets.

Alexx smiled softly, knowing that she might not be this small after a regeneration. She was excited, but for once she held in in, as he described why he was here, and other little bits of information. She found herself wishing for K-9 again, but the robotic dog was still aboard the ORION for now.
Kit, even though he said he wasn't there to kill him, still had little control over a flash of anger at his last comment on killing her as the only response. As a result, flames danced over her skin for a moment, not scathing her in the slightest. If Kujo did indeed have to try and kill her, he may find it more difficult than anticipated. She was the one among them chosen by the gods, after all, to save Alalea. Or so that stories went.
Jack, though, was the only one who seemed surprised by this knowledge, though not for the reason that he hadn't been expecting it.
The Huntsclan... And I thought they were only rumours to scare us when we were kids growing up on the Boeshane Peninsula. Of course, its no wonder we thought so. No dragon like creatures, so we would have never seen you, except in travelling the stars.
He stepped forward, entirely unafraid. The reason for that was obvious to everyone but Kujo.
I don't believe we've been introduced. I'm Captain Jack Harkness, from the 51st century. Time agent gone rogue, though her dad took away the teleport and time travel capabilities of my wrist band.
He said, motioning to Alexx, who simply shrugged.
For your own good. Knowing you, you'd cross your own timeline simply to compliment yourself. But, while we're on the topic... Alexx Smith, daughter of the Doctor, half timelord, and still got all twelve regenerations to go.
With Fell trying to get him to stop, Rylee went on to mention their own names softly, though he certainly didn't give more details. The two from another planet were much more talkative.
Kit still refused to give her own name, though this could be expected.

Kujo felt strange having everyone aproaching him in a friendly manner all of a sudden. It was, unerving to him to have such mood swings. "Nice to meet all of you....." He looked to Kit and raised the guantlet to his mouth to speak in the recorder. "The female druac Shala possess's strange magic. Fire burns off her body very slightly as she is angered with my presence." He tapped the guantlet with a finger in thought to add. "Reason for unwarranted hostility is probably due to her coming of breeding age. That and my strange presence into her environment. Similer to the Dakande on planet roth.
He turned around now having lost intrest in everyone else. "I do not mean to insult your friendly advances strangers. But I am here for one reason. To guide you and study the druac. I see a small settlment not far. I recomend you supply for the coming journy. I will wait here

Kit did not hesitated in going, nor did Fell. Rylee, like a lost pup, followed his sister closely, as he always did. Jack was tempted to stay behind, but the pull of new discoveries and the kind of things these races had at their disposal was too inticing.
Alexx, though, could care less. Instead, she settled down on a flat-topped rock and began fiddling with her sonic screwdriver. She was determined to find a way to get K-9 back.
That should increase the range... Connect that to lock on... Slip that over there...
Her murmurings went on like this for a good few minutes, and by the time she was done, the others were a ways away, close to the town. Deciding to test it, she pressed the appropriate button. She dropped with honed reflexes as it sparked violently for a moment.
Well. Apparently the calibration is off.
She shrugged and continued working, perfectly happy to simply play with it, especially since Kujo--though she didn't know that was his name--wasn't much of the talkative type.

Kujo squated as he played with his pet. Squating was his peoples way of sitting. Though it seemed uncomfortable. He was perfectly happy. He tickled the little reptile and was rewarded with small squeels of delight. "Karpa muas doa?" he said with a toothy smile.
His gauntlet started erupting sirans and he popped open the screen. Me doka si?" he said with surprised tone. A strange language came erupting from the gauntlet radio. Explosions and yells in the background. He growled to pull the mask over his face and stood up looking to the sky.
A burning ship came flying through the sky to crash in the mountains. Apparently his people were shot out of orbit by the ORION. Without a word he went running off at a speed Alexx would find impossible to keep up with.

An hour later a huge explosion could be seen from the mountains. The clear sighns of a ship self destruct activated. Probably done by the enigmatic hunter to prevent anyone from salvaging the ship. It was two more hours before he came back to the group covered in green glowing blood. The blood of his father who died in his arms. The emotions he felt were undescribable.
Seeing everyone back he darted his head from person to person and watched as several flinched from it. Turning to Alexx to say from behind his mask with his usual cold tone. "My peoples ship was shot down. They are dead along with my father. I am stuck here until other hunters come. Lets go"
With nothing better to do then continue the study Kujo went to walk besides kit. "Druac, I desire to see your natural form so I may record it"

Alexx wanted to say something comforting, but knew that there was never anything that would sound right. Nothing to stop the feeling of loss when it came except time itself, and even that simply repressed it. She found herself hoping that her own father was okay, even though she knew he was. She could still feel his presence, alive, lingering on her heart and mind, never entirely gone. A sign that she had not become the last Timelord as her father had once been.
Kit glanced over as Kujo asked his question. She rolled her eyes slightly.
It's Draca, not Druac.
She moved away. She kind of hoped her wouldn't follow, considering she was just trying to get some space. She needed a good flight anyway. There was the cracking of bones and soon enough, she was in her dragon form. Due to the light dragon DNA from her mother, Kit had turned out as an albino Draca. Pure white, with only the red of her eyes as color to the pale contrast.
She stretched her stiff wings out before she flapped them once, twice, and more times until she had risen up high enough to glide. If he couldn't see her, well, that was his problem.

Kujo tryed to pronounce the word draca but it rolled off his tounge in a funny way. "Draaaaca, druac, dragon, Druac mean all" He said to type on his gauntlet and hit the visual record button. He raised his mask so he could get a better view and scrunched his face up at the sight. "Takana!" He muttered. It probably ment painful.
Speaking as well as he had the guantlet follow the flying Kit he said. "A true rarity, A albino druac, The female flys with the grace and buety of a Nantoa. Indeed this species of druac is to be protected. Not hunted.
As she went to far out of sight He closed the gauntlet to put back down his mask. The others were to busy looking at Kit flying to notice another figure swooping in. A hungry elderly wyvern looking for easy prey. Poor Kujo did not notice her either until the last minute as she snatched him in her claws and took off out of sight.
Niko felt like flying himself. But in the end decided not to change. He would feel to wierd without cloths on. And he did not like the pain either. Turning around to look at Kujo all he saw was the hunters staff, mask, and bag. The little pet pocket of sorts stuck her head out to start crying in distress. "Um... guys. Where did the masked creepy hunter guy go?"
As if to answer the question Kujo came walking out of a small patch of woods holding a decapitated wyvern head. Breathing heavily he pointed back to the woods. "That druac came out of nowhere." He lifted up the head to toss it aside. Apparantly he did not think a old druac was a worthy trophy.
Making his bloody wristblades retreat back into the guantlet he put his hands on top of his head to help him breath easier. He noticed everyone staring at him. "What?" He asked.
Niko laughed to point at the naked Kujo who lost his loincloth in the struggle back in the woods. "Good god is that thing real? Look at that monster" Kujo looked down at himself to shrug. "Whats wrong?" nakedness apparently was not a big deal with hunters. Niko went up to turn him around. "Go find your loincloth. There are women present"
Not understanding the big deal Kujo went back to the woods to return. thankfully this time dressed.

Jack hadn't noticed him coming out at first, which was likely a good thing. Alexx kept the older man turned away despite his protests, knowing that he would eitehr make some rude comment, say something incredibly stupid, or simply do something incredibly stupid.
Hey! Alexandria Smith! Stop! That's gonna leave a bruise!
His protests were loud and clear until she let go when Kujo returned. She sighed.
You are absolutely hopeless. How the hell does the Torchwood team even take you seriously, considering you're their boss and you act like a teenager with too many hormones?!
I can't help it! Everyone born in my time is like this. You know that!
No, everyone in your time is only half as bad as you are. Walk, you perverted freak of nature.
That hurts the pride. Big time.
Good. Your ego is overinflated.
Everyone else ignored them, used to their bickering and fights, while Kit, still high in the sky, didn't even notice anything had happened. She was like her mother in that respect. Once she was flying for fun, she was lost in her own thoughts.

Niko shook his head as Kujo came back. "Whatever potion you are taking you have to let me in mister" Kujo lost intrest in Niko to go over and pick back up his staff, bag, and mask.
"We travel on" He said with the usual monotone voice. The tundras were a hassle for everyone except Kujo who miraculously walked on through the snow and cold with nothing warm of the sort. When niko asked him why he was not shivering Kujo simplyed replied. "My blood does not freeze, Nor is it red like yours." One could simply imagine his blood kind of like anti freeze.
As they neared the realm of the wild dragons Kujo grew restless stopping every few hundred feet to examine dragon markings. Be it a old kill that is rotting, or claw marks on the ground. Eventually he just stopped the party with a raised hand. The group had learned to listen to the Hunter when he sensed danger.
"We are being watched...." he said softly and typed on his gauntlet. The air shimmered around him and he disapeared.

Alexx slipped the TARDIS key out of her pocket and hung it around her neck for use of the perception filter. Kit went back-to-back with Niko, so they had a full range of vision. And Rylee simply stuck beside Fell, who worked magic as easily as someone could shatter a pane of glass by dropping it. Jack had begun scanning for Alien Tech on his wristband, to see if it was a race advanced enough to have technology. Of course, they were all still waiting for an answer from Kujo on the most part, though they were ready to fight if they were attacked while still waiting.

"Wow, my first chance at action" niko said to his cousin. "With that hunter man with us we could never lose. I bet he cant die just like the storys say they cant" The storys of course were greatly exagerated.
Kujo reapeared out of nowhere in front of the group. He was squating and resting the metal staff with blades on both ends in his lap. "Druac.... Many druac ahead. They smell us." He lifted his mask to reveal his claw scarred face. "I think it is time the two younglings with us go talk to its kin" By younglings he ment Niko and Kit.

Kit didn't want to take orders from him, that was for sure, but she had to admit that he had a point. If they didn't want to be attacked, they would need to talk to the dragons. And so she, with a bit of a glare in his direction to let him know that she wasn't doing this because he requested it, and continued forward as the group stayed behind.

Kujo looked at Kit as she passed. What his facial expressions were are unknown. But he was not happy. Scratching the head of his pet Kujo said to it in the language of his people. "You must be my eyes and ears while I sleep. Your big cousin intends to kill me I think" The little reptile let out a rumble and then a few clicks almost as if it understood.
Niko caught up to his cousin. "I have not been here in many years Kit. I'm not so sure this is a great idea. Many of the clans have pledged there fealty to my father but I have no doubt they will try to hurt me if they can get away with it" he quickly added in. "Not that I'm scared or anything. I have to think about my future country after all. How am I to rule if i am dead"
