Guardians: The Guardian Kitsune War

The Hazuit does as instructed, hopping onto the dragon's back.

Gladius nearly stumbles. "Mmph...I'm not used to carrying two individuals." He comments, as he is only a bit bigger than the two. He takes slow, but steady steps, making soft pattering of the ground with his feet as he goes.

"Alright we're heading back now glad to hear everything went okay on your side." Scarlet replies picking up her pace.

"Ok...is an understatement," she says rubbing her head. The ship uncloaking itself.

The smell of that sniper is lingering around it...

Gladius sniffs the air. "Smell that?" He asks the others.

This prompts Ixi to jump off, growling all the while. At last, its target!

"What is it? We're almost there. Hope it isn't anything too bad."

Hopping off the dragon, Alumia staggers a bit and holds her head."Right...what's with beak face...?" She asks looking at the hazuit. Scarlet, meanwhile, skids to a stop next to them. Reaching up she clicks something as the ship reaches atmosphere. The kitsune warship soon exploding pretty quickly in one giant pink flash.

"See! That's what happens when magic engines overload!" She chirps, not noticing the lens flare flickering in the tree line, the sniper aimed at the wolf dragon lady. She's holding the sniper awkwardly as she continues to bleed.

Being ever so alert, Ixtli suddenly barks at the group, dashing over towards Alumia to either protect her, or push her out of the way of the impending.

Gladius is near Alumia as well...he wouldn't let anything bad happen to her.

And the bullet smacks Ix across the shoulder, the sniper reloading, just before a piece of debris from the warship crashes into her spot.

"Ixi!" Gladius calls. "Damned coward...I will sniff it out..."

Ixi goes down, with a resounding yelp, clutching at its shoulder where it was shot.

"I doubt she survived that. Look something landed on top of her. Let's get back to the ship and I'll get that bullet out of you Ixi I have smoke medical training."

Blans helps Ixi to the ship.
"You'll be alright, just a little flesh wound yeah?"

A familiar warrior appears by the sniper's spot. She smashes the debris apart with her staff, hoping the sniper survived. She then gets on her COMM, at least the kitsune version.
"It was them...don't worry, we'll deal with them."

"Right, everyone on!" Alumia calls picking up the it and carrying it onto the ship."Computer, engine start." She calls out as the ship turns on

Gladius sits at his station. "Powering up hyperdrive core. All systems green."

Before long, Ixi is simply digging out the bullet, using its nails to pull it out, grunting all the while.

Scarlet slaps his hand having been getting the tools to pull it out. "What did I tell you?!" She snarls

It simply ignores her, digging more and more into the wound, until it retrieves whats left of the bullet, tossing it to the ground.

"All good then. Make the jump."
He then takes a seat and straps himself in.

And at that very moment Scarlet slaps something that burns like wildfire on the wound. Even the masked creature should who is used to pain feel some major sting.

"Ready for hyperjump. Coordinates?"

Alumia goes to speak before Arctica comes over the radio."Return to base, we have someone here who will be joining you."

"Understood. Setting coordinates for Guardians headquarters."

"I wonder who that could be." Scarlet says surprised hearing this.
