Another Day, Another Sue
Title: Darkest Hour
Author: Face-the-Music Nice pen name. Such a shame it's attached to this.
Name: Electra
Species: Birdgirl. Ax calls them 'Tearials'. Which, by the way, relates to birds how?
Hair: No idea, but her wings are black.
Eyes: I haveth no idea.
Canon Connections: Breaks into a meeting, gets on Ax's nerves a lot.
Special Abilities: Basically, all of the perks of Tobias' hawk form, but as a human. Including the morphing, of course.
Origin: She claims to be the secret defender of the Earth. And her planet was destroyed. By who, we don't know yet.
Notes: Actually, the idea of a bird-human is kind of cool...but this Sue just gets on my nerves. If you thought Andalites were arrogant...jeez.
Excerpts:
Oh, by the way... my name is Electra (Complex)... secret defender of earth, I am 36 Earth years old, And you'll soon be hanging with a bunch high-strung teenagers full time. I pity you. I originally came from planet Scalptar and I can’t tell you where I am right now. Hm, let me guess? Could it be Earth?
Branches scrapped my side as I forced myself into the cover of the trees. The body that I was in was braking BRAK! down... pushed too far, by Earthly logic I would die of dehydration within an hour. Sue, plzdiekthnxbai. I made sure I was alone and began the process.
But aside from my wings and talons I looked perfectly normal to any human. I wore my races tight uniforms, they were all black except for red around the edges. Pants and a shirt... that’s what humans call them... these fitted my body like skintight pants and a skintight, long-sleeve shirt. I had to re-read this about five times to get it. Author, honey, you already said skintight once. You don't have to repeat it, it just confuses the reader.
I looked around the area that I stood, my eyes darted to a tree as a bird got frightened and quickly flew away... RUN, TOBIAS, RUN!
I saw ants crawling up the trunk of a tree, a saw a male deer grazing a couple yards away... then I saw what I was looking for...
“TTTTTEEEEEERRRRRR!”
I launched myself to the ground and lightly clamped my feet talons around the animal’s form.
“HHHHHHHIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS!” Is it me or did Sue just kill Bambi?
(((((TOWN))))) I have to say, I love this page break. Made me feel like I was playing an RPG. Um, yes, I am a weirdo and will shut up now.
I hissed and swatted at it with my paw, which was hardly a threat to the beast but the thought was there. The Andalite reached out with his 7-fingered hand and picked me up by the scruff of my neck. **giggles** **remembers the Cat!Ax loving Stu** **screams**
OK, this species is a light blue color with the body of a centaur (half horse half-human thing), tail of a scorpion, and the head looks like they hit with a frying pan. Okay, for that last part, Sue...I kind of love you.
I see his tail twitch and faster then any human can read this sentence, his tail leaps forward to strike and my wings come out from behind me and curve around my front to protect me.
CLANG!
The sound of metal hitting metal echoes through the barn...
“Don’t be foolish, young Andalite” I warn him
He snaps his tail back to strike again, but I take this time and leap out my hand-claws and create six deep gashes down his chest. He staggers backward...She can stop an Andalite tail. She's a Sue, all right. Which leads to the question -- how does bird-like abilities give you that kind of speed?
A colored female Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought that sounded racist. I know, limited amout of adjectives you can use here, but still. steps forward “what is going on here?! There will be no fighting in the barn! But there'll be sex. You’ll wake my parents up!”
Ax turns to walk away, his tail comes up to try to slice me... I dodge and he makes a neat hole in the wall... Ow. stupid Andalite. **tries not to be amused by the image of Ax with his tail stuck in the wall**
The boy with long hair crossed his arms across his chest “OK you tell u us, but first... my name is Marco, and this is Jake, Casey She's a he? Does this make Jake gay? and Rachel... and Tobias is up there” he said pointing to the red-tailed hawk
I smirked “I take it you went over the two Earth hour mark?”
(( Yes ))
“Well, that is a fine animal to be stuck as... beautiful wings” I replied... stretching out my own until they are at full length... like I said earlier eight feet tip to tip. Bird flirting. I think I'm going to be sick.
“What did you use to fight the Yeerks with?” Jake asked
“This body” I said “I have also acquired the DNA of an Andalite... not that I use it much... you see, Jake, I am not afraid to show my identity like you are” That's because you're dumb, Sue. I smirked at Ax “besides... none of MY kind has ever become a Controller... unlike the Andalites” And when you do, Sue, I will laugh.
“Excuse me for asking another question, but...” Jake started “I thought only Andalites could morph” Coming from Jake, that Grade A Stupid.
I smirked “my kind was given the power to morph back when we were allies with the Andalites... now it runs it our blood”
(( What a mistake that was )) Ax commented Oh, admit it. You want to shag her, Ax-man. Oh god, did I just advocate Ax x Sue? I feel dirty.
Final Verdict: This one really isn't that bad, but the character seriously got on my nerves. The only thing more annoying than regular Sue is Know-It-All-Bitch!Sue. And I have school tomorrow and need to be in bed. Good night, everyone. Also, perpetual_poet, is it okay that I did the same style of snark as you? It was just such a good, fun way to do it. Me no could resist. ^^
