HELLFIRE MASSACRE!!! (battle thread!)

[Sivoncé™]

The camp was packed, not flooded, but overflowing with wolves. Each and every one had the same shock and fright on their face, some even held pain in their eyes as the healers saw to their burns and wounds. All were waiting for their alphess, who seemed to be missing for the moment. A wolf, colored a mingle of blue and red, paced at the edge of the group. Her features were almost violet, the mixing of her coats giving off an eerie aura. She watched the woods intently, never looking away for even the briefest of seconds.
Time passed slowly, the murmurs and rumours flying around the large mass of pack wolves faster and faster as it all droned on. And the Siverians steadily became more and more aware that Sabela was not the only wolf missing from their ranks.
Annelise, a pack healer, was gone.
Kaylee, Maia, Corsivo, and Natoma were missing, too, and a frantic Mystic had led a patrol out to find her pups. Griffen had explained to them the quarrel they had gotten in over going out into the smoke or not, and how he had returned back and had hoped his siblings would, too. The punishment was put aside for now; all that really mattered was finding the pups before they reached the flames. Or worse. Before something reached out for them....
"Any sign...?" Freya asked as she passed the beta, carrying a barnch to help the extra barricading of the camp.
"No," Nightshade responded flatly, not even turning to look to the white warrior. "They'll come back," she muttered. But she didn't sound so sure of that at all.

Dark shapes prowled forward, laughing softly under their breath as the wolves went about reinforcing the camp walls. The large, red and soot-streaked brute was at the head. He was no leader to any of these wolves, or any wolves at all, but he'd been nominated to lead the front. As soon as they reached the clearing, every wolf would do whatever they wished to. Bloodsbane missed his old power over a large mass of wolves, but at the same time, he didn't have to worry about stupid laws or traditions. He could do whatever he pleased to. Sure, the fires are stopping, but do you really think a couple of twigs will keep us away? "All right. We can catch up later and share some stories about our little trophy hunt. For now, let's move out and have some fun!" He snickered, slithering forward through the thick barricades of smoke and mist.

Coughing, Nectar padded toward her mentor, Freya. "Wha-" She coughed again, deciding not to ask 'what's going on' at the same time. "What should I do?" Her throat and chest hurt, and the smoke didn't seem to want to clear up anytime soon.

I don't want to annoy her, and seeing how everything is... She squinted through the smoke. "There's something wrong... Besides the fire, I think..."

I just don't know what it is.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Lance returned, exhausted but unable to rest after searching- without luck- for his missing pups. Like most fathers, he wanted to get angry at something when his family was in danger. But what could he be angry at- smoke? His pups?
No, he was furious at his pups- but he was too concerned to care at the moment.
Pacing back and forth for a bit, he turned to go back out and sweep over the terra again when something hit his side.
Hard.

"He-llo, prettboy!" Kill hissed, digging her fangs into Lance's flesh. It felt so refreshing to taste fresh blood flowing across her tongue rather than searing flames.

Moss bolted into an upright position, shocked when Kill's voice reached her ears.
...what...?

[Njack]

What was that?

Nectar jerked to attention, staring the direction the sound had come from. Staring blindly. It was almost impossible to see.

She trotted cautiously toward the source of commotion, her ears perked.

Two shapes in the smoke. Fighting.

She yelped loudly – too loudly – and ran back the way she had come. “WE’RE UNDER ATTACK!”

Idiot! Now they're all going to be after you!

(Bad post, but I wanted to post something... >_>)

[Sivoncé™]

( ;D )

The Hellfire wolves were accustomed to maneuvering through thick areas of smoke, but even they wouldn't pass up a piece of prey that begged to be caught. In a swift movement, Bloodsbane, Lily, Regulus, and Nepthys launched themselves in the direction of Nectar's voice, pawsteps accelerating as they neared their target.
"THAT ONE'S SO MINE!" Nepthys snarled.
"NO WAY!" Lily disagreed fiercely.
"I'M CALLING IT!" Bloodsbane interjected.
Regulus hissed with annoyance. "Idiots. JUST TEAR AT WHATEVER YOU GET AND BE SATISFIED!"
The three grinned and nodded, now slowing to circle Nectar. Regulus joined them, laughing coldly. "Aw, look! Little Miss Big-Mouth is all alone! No one's gonna help her! I LIKE IT! Wait...WOAH! INCOMING--"
A white flash singnaled Freya throwing herself at Regulus. She landed squarely on his back and dug in her claws, locking her fangs into the back of his neck. Regulus made quick to fall backwards and crush Freya under him, his teeth clicked together to bar a scream from escaping his throat. "LITTLE WITCH!" He howled, flipping to attack Freya.
Sneering, Lily and Nepthys returned to their assault. Bloodsbane hesitated by Regulus, then returned to the torturing of Nectar.

[Sheera]

The red wolf burst through the entrance, launching at Lily, digging her fangs into the back of her neck, it was Dashina. Her eyes flashed, and her mind set as she dug her claws into the pressure pointds of Lily's would-be elbows. She ripped her teeth through the flesh, digging deeper as she began to create a ragged line in the flesh. Blood spurted, and she felt the liquid, spurt into her mouth choking her slightly. Flesh stuck to her teeth, and fell into her mouth, she was not phased, but it was a bit... sickening. She continued her strong attacked, ripping across the wolf's neck.

[Sivoncé™]

(Okay, she had her legs crippled, Sheers. I mean, they might've healed, but she still would be exhausted. =\ )

[Sheera]

((Dashina doesn't have her legs crippled... Its Dashina... its says it in the first sentence... Sabela's still dying in the clearing ))

[Njack]

Eyes wide open with fear, Nectar watched the four wolves slowly approach her.

She gasped as Freya tackled one of them. Then gasped again as a red wolf attacked another one. If this had been a movie, she would have been a pretty good observer. At least she was gasping at all the right times.

Two down, two to go... she told herself, steeling herself to fight. Not very well, though. Her back right leg was trembling.

[Sivoncé™]

( Oops -- my bad XD )

A shocked, furious shriek peeled from Dashina as fangs dug into her neck and claws grazed her legs. However, the fangs were not deep enough to click into her spine, and she, being the larger wolf, let herself fall backward atop Dashina and crush her into the ashes. Maybe there'll still be some embers for that slimy little bitch! Nobody gets between me and my prey!

Nepthys had not been phased by the attack on Lily, but Bloodsbane looked a little disgruntled. "Hurry up, brute! What, did you think they would just stand here while we pick them off? Idiot!" She lashed out at Nectar with her claws, aiming at her flanks.
Bloodsbane growled at the challenge, then charged towards the young wolf.

Freya tore away from Regulus and flung her bloodied self at Bloodsbane's side in an attempt at distraction. To her relief, it worked....for a second. Bloodsbane and Regulus were now cornering Freya, stained red, towards the alpha's den. She backed away, snarling threats right back at them. She looked desperately towards Nectar and Nepthys, but could see no way out of her current predicament.

[Sheera]

Dashina was crushed, but she was not as feeble as a pup like she used to be, no; Riley had encouraged her, he had made her stronger. She kick her back paws up and, in the mere seconds she had, she escaped, and ran towards Bloodsbane and Regulus. She launched herself towards Bloodsbane, she either lands on him, or he moves out of the way and she crashes onto Regulus. Her jaws were opened, her claws outstretched as she headed for the wolves.

Severian bounded towards Lily, he was just as large as she was, and just as strong, this would be interesting. He launched towards her, eyes aiming for her chest, yet he was really aiming for her neck.
Briggitte launched herself towards Nethys, she was a bit smaller than he, but she was strong, and fierce. She aimed for his back, she was behind him, and hopefully she would land on him square-on.

[Sivoncé™]

( Okay -- no way. Sheera, Severian is a neophyte. He might be young warrior age, but still. The rest of it, sure, but that little detail.. XP

Nepthys is a girl

Okay I'm done complaining now... hopefully. 0_o )

Lily didn't give up on her prey easily, so she darted away from him before he had a chance to spring, aiming only for Dashina now. "A little fickle, aren't we? Can't take it so we have to go try something else and get ourselves kicked even more?" She mocked her, smirking darkly.
Bloodsbane moved away and Regulus was squished momentarily by Dashina's flying form. He snarled with frustration, but Freya was out of the corner, Bloodsbane having to move aside had openend up more space for the young warrior. She turned towards Bloodsbane as Regulus squirmed out from under Dashina, momentarily phased.
The two wolves collided, the small, slim white and the larege, monstorous red. However, Freya had something Bloodsbane didn't: wits.
Nepthys had them, her slim figure moving away from Brigitte at the last moment.
In fact, most of the wolves they were dealing with had them, replaced with some other weakness.
But Bloodsbane, ironically, former leader of Blood Mist, lacked his wits.
Freya was exhausted. She wouldn't hold out much longer; she needed a few fresh warriors to take her place. Her pawsteps were speedy quick, her moves just as so, and though normally she could keep this up for hours, she was too downed by her wounds to do so. She looked for Coal or Moss, hoping some of the older warriors could take on Bloodsbane and Regulus.

Nepthys was skilled and older than both Nectar and Brigitte, but Brigitte was the age of a young warrior. And more than one neophyte attacking you could be quite the nuisance. And they're so damn stubborn! They don't understand how to give up a fight very well!
She hissed, but had moved away from the line of fire for the time being. She lunged at Nectar instead.

[Sheera]

((Severian's a NEOPHYTE?! =O I thought he was a senior warrior!! WOAH AM I OFF! Seriously:: I THOUGHT HE WAS WARRIOR AGE! Whose but is he? I thought he was Greta's, and she had them months and months ago! I didn't know he was a neophyte! Grr. I suppose its my fault for not doing his ceremony =p sorry siv, sabela says sorry too =p))

Briggitte clashed into the ground, dropping just short of a large rock, that would have been a zinger-- OUCH! She growled in irritation at the other wolf, and at her own lack of fighting skills; she had always been bad at fighting and hunting, she was surprised the pack hadn't kicked her out. She spit, angry, but did not turn to fight the wolf again. Instead, she ran towards the entrance and disappeared, she reappeared silently, where she could watch over the battle, and leap out in case someone needed help.

((I'm bringing Severian out until I figure out his rank-- I seriously thought he had his ceremony-- WAIT is Jen his mom??))

[Sivoncé™]

(( XD yes, Jen is his mom. He's technically ready to become a warrior but Sabela never did his ceremony...still, he's only young warrior age...not much younger than Freya, who's kinda about to pass out any minute now lol

And Greta's pups are Yozorans XD I'm pretty sure they're warriors now....or at least they SHOULD be. If not, there something wrong there....))

Nepthys snickered as Brigitte darted away. Freya looked up at her helplessly. "Go and get Kar, Kippy, Weed, some of the other neophytes. You'll do fine, Brigitte; these are hard opponents for anybody. Get some wolves to help you -- I can't fend these guys off much longer." She danced between Bloodsbane and Regulus, narrowly acoiding thier snapping jaws and slashing claws. There was no room for her to make any offensive moves; she had to use the rest of her energy distracting them until help came.

At the sound of their names and the battle breaking out, Kippy and Weed dashed from the neophyte den and looked wide-eyed at Freya, then to Brigitte. A sly grin spread across Weed's face. "What say you we take 'em out?" Kippy, Weed, Brigitte, and Severien made up the older neophytes, Kar should've been a warrior by now, but his abduction had slowed some things down. He was still a good ally to have, though. They would stand a pretty good defense just the three of them, but another set of claws never hurt.

[nighty!]

((Sheera, you adopted Jen!!!! You made her have pups and that left me gasping like when did this happen?! lol ))

Jojo looked around and saw a lot of fighting. "La gasp!" He said to himself. He was most likely going to be told within the next ten seconds to help fight which was always going to be his plan anyhow.
