Hatari nodded as Vitani gave orders. She moved with the group, thinking of every move she might have to make. She liked fighting, and these raids were a perfect way to practice and improve her way of fighting. She hoped that the human wouldn't be out that day, still sore from the last encounter. When they reached the river, she managed to cover the yellow stripes on her bandana with mud, making it harder to spot her. She laughed quietly to her self. This is gonna be fun.

[[ Kiara and Kovu are adults, by now. ]]
"Say.... Did you just hear something!?" One of the pride-lander lionesses asked, alarmed. "Yeah! It sounded like hyenas!" Another comfirmed. Raf was up in a flash, aiming with the Dragunov and searching for a target. "Hyenas!? And outlanders!! How'd they get this close this early!?" Raf demanded, firing off 3 shots semi-auto the second the lionesses covered their ears.
"****!!!!!" Vitani thundered in anger, as she heard 3 familiar, staccato shots ring out. Two hyenas fell beside her, another infront of her, tripping her up and sending her tumbling across the grass. 3 more shots, and a lioness roared in pain, having been hit in the flank with a shell. "Quick!! Attack! Make our raid worth-while!!" Vitani yelled, trying to get up and run.

Kiara's head perked up as three gunshots were fired. "Whats going on?" she asked herself. Kiara decided she would follow the sound of the gunshots and catch some of the action. Running to the scene, she caught Outlander lionesses fighting, and Raf firing off his gun. She shook her head. She hated to see the Outlanders fight. She decided to wander off to the right. Spotting a bird up in a tree, she smiled at it. "Hello, little birdy!" she said in a cheerful tone, trying to drain the fight from her thoughts
Hatari gasped as the lioness next to her was shot. She tunred her head to the human, and growled. She crept in the grass, avoiding bullets from that horrible gun. she set up her attack. Hatari planned to bite the human in the ankle. She checked behind her and to her sides, making sher no one spotted her. "Now." she whispered, she was just about to lunge at him.

Raf's thumb flicked to automatic, unleashing 26 shots of d00m in less than 10 seconds. A great deal of the now not-so-viscious hyenas fell, either greviously wounded, or quite dead. Instead of out-numbering the pride-landers 3-1, the fight was more 1.5-1. Still, the pridelanders would be too busy to help him, now that along with Hatari, Vitani was about to attack. She crept up as well, waiting for Hatari to strike.
Tragically, Raf did not realize that he was soon to be thrown into pitched combat himself; the two outlanders had caught him during one of his most vulnerable moments: "Crap. Reload. Say, where are those other two lionesses?" He wondered, pulling the spent bananna clip out of his Dragunov, replacing it in a hip-pouch, and reaching for another.

Hatari leaped at the human's ankle, sinking her teeth into it. Heh. Take that. I'd like to see how you get yourself out of this one. She sank her teeth down deeper, not letting go until he fell to the ground. The harder she bit, the more blood came out. The taste was not as good as other animals she had eaten, but she could manage. She wished he would fall soon. She knew that with a few kicks he could dislodge her.

"Oh, you ----" Raf rumbled, tossing the gun aside, and beginning to do just that. In a flash, Vitani was on him as well, and it did not look good for Raf. He adjusted for her lunge, which was coming straight at his side. He grabbed her fore-paws, dragged her down, and brought her ontop of the one savagely clinging onto his ankle, which was now useless. Vitani smashing into the other lioness, another slightly familiar one, was enough to jarr her grip loose. Raf snap-rolled backward, coming down on both feet, and too adrenaline-pumping to notice his injured ankle. A half a second later, out came his combat knife, and with a flourish ending in a self-defense stance, he was ready to rock. Vitani rolled to her feet, also in battle-stance. The next thing he did shocked her enough to temporarily throw her off-step, and infuriate her at the same time: "Heh. Morning, ladies." He growled, a feral smile blooming on Raf's face.

Hatari spit Raf's blood from her mouth. She was in awe at the technique he had. He must train regularly. But he ws injured, and injuring him more would prove to be a challenge. He did get himself out of that situation with style, and later she would improve her way of fighting so that he would not have that chance again. 'Good morning, Ladies?' Who does he think he is? "Nice day, isn't it?" she snarled back at him, alittle spit and blood flying from her mouth. The knife he held shone brightly in the morning sun. Her eyes glanced down at the gun, laying in the grass. She would try to pick that up and carry it out later, hopefully hurting his long-range attacking skill. That knife would be hard to manage. She whispered the plan to Vitani, hoping that the human would not hear.
Kiara's atentions turned to Kovu as he hurried over to her. "Oh, hi Kovu." she said, alittle troubled. She looked over to the battle. "I wish they didn't fight so much...So, whats new with you?" she managed to creep a smile across her face. It has been a while since they met each other, she figured there was alot to catch up on. She searched his expression, trying to find out what he was thinking about.

Raf noticed them both whispering, and though he could not hear, their repeated staring at the gun behind him put him on guard. "No, I'll be keeping this with me." He said, picking it up, and attaching it to his back-harness, right next to the Xtrema-II shotgun. Out of sheer sportsmanship, and enjoyment of the fight, he did not use either. Doing so would liquify the first of the two where they stood, with either gun, including his pistol. The knife flashed in the early morning sunlight, as he jumped toward them in a threatening manner. It was a feint, but Vitani fell legendarily for it, lunging at him. She came at him in a "\" fashion, her front paws and claws at the top of the diagonal. Raf anticipated this, and in a flash, had the knife between his teeth, his hands wrapped around the two fore-paws, to her unending suprise and dismay. He pulled with all his might, doing a back-flip with the force of the jerk. Vitani landed, on her back, having just been hard-core body slammed, and knocked senseless. She knew that itself, would be the killing blow; she could almost feel the knife as it whistled through the air, and imbed itself in her throat. But, again, she was suprised to find no knife sticking out of her, anywhere. Still stunned, and watching as if she were in a dream, she took several moments to register Raf, fighting mightily to stay on his feet, while Hatari advanced and attacked, not daring to give him time to re-center himself for another disabling defensive maneuver like that.

[[ I haven't got a clue :X ]]
Hatari's hopes of damaging his skill in long range attacks had sunk like the Titanic.Curse him for reading our eyes! We'll never have a chance like THAT again. Oh well... As he delt with Vitani, she rushed behind him. She would jump on his back. She wasted no time in lunging onto him, because he would soon see that she was missing, and suspect an attack from behind. She flew through the air, her claws unsheathed, she was just about to land on his back.

(( This is what the attack on Raf would look like. The man in the picture isn't Raf, but the main character from Turok for PS3/360: i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa245/bops07/turok-20070627030130666.jpg )) Raf was knocked completely off-balance, as large claws tore into his back. Luckly, the bullet-proof vest he wore protected him from most of the fatal damage, so he wouldn't die... Yet. Unfortunately, neither of them saw the small ridge he'd been standing on, and when she hit him, they both tumbled over the edge. Both were equally lightning fast to react once they hit, only the way they did was different. Raf, instead of hitting his belly, was rolled onto his back within an instant. Hatari was the quicker; she lunged, fore-paws burying into the kevlar plate on his chest, her massive, ginsu-knife-filled mouth trying to find a good bite on Raf's throat. They spent nearly 20 seconds like this, until he caught her mouth, with his gloved hands. He winced in pain as the teeth began to dig into his hands, her hot breath washing over his face. She was stronger, and thus her open mouth soon began to close down over his throat even with his hands trying to pry her mouth apart.

[[Ohhhh. Okay! Thank you!]]
Hatari's mouth filled with saliva as her tongue grew dry. Come on Hatari...Bite...down...harder! She tried to close down on his neck, her jaws ached as he pushed against them. She felt as if they were going to snap in half any second. The human and lion had fallen on the ground, and were desperately trying to stay alive. The gun on Raf's side suddenly fired after a rock had hit it just right. Hatari jumped back, checking her side for blood. It had been pointed at an angle, making it hit her in the side. The pain was not as bad as she thought it would be. "****" she cried out in surprise. She gave one last piercing look at the human, and climbed up to where Vitani was.

"Oh, no you don't!" Raf thundered, grabbing her by the base of her tail, yanking her back, and sending her tumbling across the ground. He was back on her in an instant, this time the role was reveresed. She was now fighting to keep the 13-inch blade from sinking inbetween her two front legs, and burying itself in her heart, silencing her forever. Raf was doing his best to put all force in, while keeping himself from being shredded to ribbons by 4 sets of pointy claws.
Vitani rolled to her feet, snapping her head around, searching for comrades, and the other lioness. The one that had been shot before the fight was long gone, having retreated to survive the fight. Hyenas were now being ganged up on, their numbers dwindling rapidly, first from 10, to 9, to 7, to 4. With more than one lioness on them, they would stand no chance, and would soon die. She ignored them; they were fodder for the pridelanders, and thus expendable. The other lioness, on the otherhand, was not. Sensing one of the freed pride-landers would soon spot and try to engage her while others joined to overwhelm her, she dropped low, skirting the grass until she heard that familiar human voice, that made her spine tingle, with nervousness of several kinds. Dashing over, she saw what position the brown-d3vil already had Hatari in, and leaped, letting out a thunderous roar.
Raf's eyes glinted with anticipation, as the tip of the knife peirced flesh, and began to draw-blood. Hatari roared, realizing her time was very nearly up, when Vitani crashed into him from the side, sending him flying. She did not advance, standing inbetween him and Hatari. "The battle is lost. We gotsa fall back, and fast!!" Vitani hissed, about to cover Hatari's retreat. Cries from above, sounded the loss of another 2-3 hyenas.

[[The outlanders raided the Pridelanders. Its a pretty good scene, if ya wanna read it.]]
Hatari panted. "Alright. Let's go!" she nodded, and ran away as fast as she could. You were almost toast! One more mistake like that, and your dead! She climbed up to where the hyenas were, and made a retreat towards the outlands. She would have some scars, but they would heal. She was planning revenge, trying to think what would be the most humiliating death for a human like that. Being killed with his own bullets was always a good one. It would be hard, though. He had the eyes of a hawk, and the ears of a deer. His keen fighting skills made it hard to strike a blow. She knew he atleast got injured. His ankle would need to heal. Hatari made it back to the termite mounds, and sat down. She was exhausted. Liking the wounds was painful, but it had to be done. Other than that, she knew no other way to heal the wounds she had. She winced at the pain, but continued to lick.

Vitani dashed up the ravine, Raf hot on her tail. She turned and roared in agitation. She lunged, and he side-stepped her, giving her the all-mighty elbow to the face, and snout, causing her to go cross-eyed and tumble, rather than land. She was up faster this time, but was alarmed when two large, muscular hands closed in around her. She paused for a moment, inhaling his scent-- then nearly screeching alloud as the arms flexed, intent of snapping her neck. She thrashed once as she felt a neck-muscle give, burying Raf under her weight and winding him. She dashed off, tail between her legs, ignoring the last of the hyenas' death cries. The 6 lunged, intent on chasing Vitani down and ripping her to pieces. "NO!!" Raf yelled, rolling weakly onto one knee. They stopped, and regarded him incredulously. "Stop." He said, not daring to reveal his true reasons. "It might be a trap. We've got to get back, and regroup. Bring more reinforcements incase they return." He said, knowing well they would not dare, at least not today. "If you say so, Raf..." Said one of the softer-voiced lionesses, as the group walked over to him. "Urghhhh...." Raf grunted, holding his side. "That hurt. Someone help me up." He said, using the broad shoulders of two lionesses to hoist himself to his feet, and then use them as support, to limp home.
Vitani did the same, equally furious with the morning's events. "He almost had me. He almost had HATARI. If we had not been covering each other, both of us would be dead." Vitani growled, wincing. Her back pained her, from that slam, and a punch to the face she'd received somewhere ailed her as well. "Again the human prevails. He must pay!!" She thought. Then, the thought of him dead, hurt mentally almost as equally as the physical pain she was given, right now. She sat down, to await the fury of Zira.

Blushing, Kiara replied to Kovu by saying, "Really? Well, I'm going on my first hunt soon." She d over to the fight in time to see Raf stop the lionesses from tearing Vitani to shreds. "I have to go, Kovu. The fight is over." Looking over to him she smiled. "I'll come back out tomorrow, though. We can talk more then." She hurried off to follow the others back.
Hatari looked up as Vitani made her get away. As she came back, her tail in between her legs, Hatari turned away. She knew it is embarresing to have to back down like that. To show any signs of weakness. She would not acknoledge that Vitani ever showed any sign of submission today. Zira came out of the termite mound, watching as Kiara ran off, leaving Kovu behind. Hatari tried to not be intimadated be her. She knew she'd have something to say about today's unsuccesful raid. She had no knowledge of anybody killing a lioness of the Pride Lands. Yet they had lost many of their own. She continued to lick her wounds as the blood flowing from them became less and less.
