How Soon Is Now?

Su watched this exchange with wide eyes. As the two of them left the room, she muttered,
And I thought I had a temper... I feel a bit... Outdone. She bit her lip and chuckled a bit at herself before following.

Mr big threw the guards about as if they were ragdolls, give out a low rumbling roar, charging ahead into the group of guards. the kid smirked, lifting up some in the air, crushing aswell. Sameal swiftly moved inbetween the guards, peircing on and thrwoing him into a crowd with his scythe, he looked around and lifted his sleeve, markings appeared."this should make things...interesting" as he punched the floor. a large portal opened up, with a large dragon like creature climbing out of it.

Vahn had only one thing on his mind."maybe I can save Seven and kill azreal...that would make things alot easier." he thought to himself, gripping his sword tightly, as his face epxressed even more anger

Sumiko felt the familiar heat run down her spine as fur popped out of her skin. Her eyes turned to emerald, her mouth elngated, she grew her tail, and walked on all fours. She yowled and launched her massive furry self at a group of guards, simply taking them out by landing on them with her giant paws. She turned and snarled in the face of one guard, who looked ready to piss his pants in shock, and swiped him down with one paw.

Serenity was wide eyed."your much bigger than usual wherewolves" she said. Vahn entered the main garage, looking everywhere for Azreal and seven." he ran around frantically looking."where is he?" he thought to himself, as Azreal stepped out and grinned at Vahn."looks like we meet again" he mocked as Vahn charged forward, his sword ready to stab Azreal.Azreal stepped slightly to the left, and disarming Vahn quickly. to which he threw the sword to his left."you can do better Vahn" he mocked once again

Sumiko sat back on her haunches, hanging back... She would jump in and help if Vahn needed it but this was his fight. She wouldn't interfere until it was absolutely necessary.

Azreal laughed, as Vahn swung around, with his punches, and threw kicks, but Azreal toyed with him."your power hasnt awakened fool...but mine has had years of experience." a dark swirl of energy consumed his hand, blasting Vahn with it. Vahn was propelled into the wall.he looked over at sumiko. a twisted, devilish look was shown on his face."what about the dog?....I hope she bites better than she barks" he laughed as Serenity rushed forward. she gathered lightning like energy into her hands, blasting him with even more power than he did to vahn. he hit the crates of explosives. causing half of the side to be completely blown off."did I do that?" she said as she looked at her hands. from out of the smoke Azreal walked. his left side of his face burned pretty badly, his clothes singed and burnt."dont interefere with my battles insolent girl" his wings revealed themselves." he flew forward, grabbing serenity by the neck, with his gauntlet arm."sometimes feeling the slow dying breath is the most comforting way to kill someone. Vahn slowly woke up, his eyes wide as he looked at azreal. he quickly got up and got his sword, he ran forward and leapt. going in the the stab, as his blade brightened with tremendous force.azreal quickly threw serenity, and moved to the side, punching Vahn directly back down to the ground

Sumiko made her way over to Serenity quickly, shielding her and growling as she watched the fight. She turned and licked Serenity's face once, trying to get her to wake up. She didn't think she should join the fight just yet, even though she was itching to.

Azreal laughed as Vahn quickly shot up, and lifted his sword up. the force brightened his sword as he slammed it down, creating a shockwave that headed for Azreal. azreal pushed back with a orb of dark energy, blasting it forward. Vahn shot right into the wall, to which azreal moved over and repeatedly punched him."you should just stayed with us...you wouldnt be in pain right now" he then stopped, and motion gauntlet hand into a blade like stance."this ends now." he then went to strike him

A roar ripped from Sumiko's throat in her fury that she simply couldn't hold back anymore.

This ends now!

She launched into the air, a huge black furry streak in the air, until she pushed Azreal to the ground under one massive paw, the other poised to rip his head off. She got down in his face, her gigantic muzzle inches from his face. Her loud snarling had to be making his ears ring from how close she was.

he laughed, with alook of insanity in his eyes." you think you can hold me?" he laughed once more, as he gathered a dark aura around him, creating a large orb."you dont scare me" he blasted sumiko off of himself and dusted himself off."now lets get back to business." he walked of the garage doors and opened the roof and the side doors. Sameal, mr big and the kid were all on the floor. a masked man stood, in a fighting stance as an airship flew above. the man jumped ontop of Seven's cage and buckled into the grappling hook as Vahn ran forward, ready to strike the hook and release thd cage, the man swiftly jumped off and kicked. to which he then back handed in the stomach, and stroking him at the neck, knocking him out, the man then walked over to sumiko, getting out a few needles, he jumped into the air and threw swarm of needles, aiming to hit her pressure points.

Azreal smirked, arrogantly so."dont worry...your freind shall be returned...soon" he laughed as he flew out of the garage. the man specifically at Sumiko as he jumped ontop of the cage. the Airship lifted the cage, and made its way out of the facility. Serenity struggled to get up, hodling her head. she looked around wide eyed."what happened?" she ran over to sumiko."are you okay?" she asked, her coive full of worry

Sumiko's eyes went wide and her jaw clenched as the needles struck her pressure points. She had never felt anything like this before. She watched helplessly as Seven was taken away and she could do nothing to stop it. She groaned loudly, her body tingling. She registered Serenity talking to her. She looked up at her with her big emerald eyes and moaned, unable to move with the needles still in place and unable to speak in her wolf form. She was trapped.

Serenity then started to carefully take out the needles."I shouldnt have rushed in..."she said taking out the final one.Sameal slowly woke up. he clutched his arm."what the hell happened?"he thought getting up slowly. Vahn still layed down unconcsiously. mr big and the kid also woke up

Sumiko looked around at everyone, still unable to move. There was a look of barely controlled panic in her eyes. Never had she been debilitated in such a way... Unable to move. She began to be able to feel her extremities again, just barely.

Serenity quickly looked around inside her bag. she took out a charm and moved around the needles entrance points, while she chanted some form of hymn just below a whisper. she opened her eyes and smiled."that should have helped." she said as she got up and rushed over to Vahn. Sameal slowly walked over to sumiko."where's seven?" he asked

Su rolled her eyes and began the reverse transformation the change back into her human form, in such a hurry to give Sameal the information she had. Unfortunately, she'd forgotten that when she'd phased into her fur, she had exploded out of we clothes. She didn't remember until she was fully transformed back into her human skin. Naked. She started to speak before she realized. She clamped her mouth shut and her eyes grew wide as she looked around frantically for the nearest tree and ducked behind it.

Dammit!! Anyone have some extra clothes?

Her voice was a snarl.

Sameal looked around, searching for any guard uniforms. he found some in a young girl. he gave out loud sigh."this is not my day." as he took the uniform of the guard. he walked over to the tree."heres a uniform...its the best untill we get back" he said as Serenity tried to wake up Vahn

Sumiko grabbed the uniform and cursed under her breath as she slipped it on. She stepped out from begin the tree, her face slightly red from embarrassment. She cleared her throat.

They took Seven. They ha him in a cage... And they took him.

Sameal sighed, taking his hood off and the cloth mask covering his lower face. he looked similar to Brask, when he was younger."this just keeps getting better and better." he looked over to Vahn and Serenity"let me guess...he was beaten up by Azreal" he said as mr big came over and noticed what had happened."when Vahn wakes we can ask where they would take him" he said

Sumiko nodded, crossing her arms and leaning against the tree, looking at Sameal, and then to Serenity.

She has his eyes... And his hair color.

She couldn't help but smile a little.

Thank you for your help, Serenity. Not sure I'd like to think about what would have happened of you hadn't helped me out.

Serenity smiled lifting Vahn up."glad I could help" she replied as Sameal picked his scythe up."the best we can do is head back to camp and explain the situation..." he said as Mr big walked over to them, the kid on his shoulders

Sumiko nodded, ducking her head. She felt responsible for Seven being taken.

If I had only jumped in sooner... Freed him from the cage while Azreal was distracted... Dammit.

She bit her lip.

Sameal then thought about the stranger with Azreal. he gritted his teeth."that guy with Azreal...he must have been a Reaver..." he said as Serenity tried to wake up Vahn. the kid shook his head." if you put him on Mr. big's shoulder, he'll carry him."Serenity moved over to him and gave Vahn to mr big.

Sumiko walked beside Sameal, saying nothing. Her guilt was beginning to get the better of her. She couldn't look any of them in the eyes, thinking they were all blaming her for Seven's abduction.

Sameal looked at Sumiko."dont beat yourself about it...Azreal is one of few Paradox Lords...he was just one step ahead of us..besides...we'll get him...or Seven will escape himself.." he shook his head. Serenity hurried to catch up with them."sameal...are you related to Brask?...you look like him.."Sameal was caught off guard. not knowing what to say. he looked to Sumiko for help

Sumiko smiled a bit at him, hoping that would bolster his courage.

The door is open... She brought it up, this is the perfect oppotunity!

She nudged him a bit, subtly, so Serenity wouldn't see... Bit enough so Sameal would know what she was trying to tell him.
