Mission tym

[Li`l Pixie]

Crank had no idea what to do. For the first time in years, her mind was blank.

It seemed that time slowed down. Her brain wasn't comprehending i though. Off to the side she saw the action between Leon and the younger man. She didn't respond.

The man fired. The bullet seemed to crawl through the air as it was made of Jello.

Move...! her brain told her, but her body wouldn't listen.

[[x]Ren[x]]

Leon yipped and barked at Crank "MOVE IT!" he heard the bang, looking up to see a flash. The bad part was, that he was in front of Crank and the bullet... He whined as it hit his torso, but he still stood. Growling and snarling as if it didn't hurt. IT did, badly but his pride and rage got the better of him. Springing at the man and extending his wings, he got some extra air then dove.

The round man looked up in shock as he saw the wolf. Leon felt contact with his shoulder blade, ripping and tearing until the man finally fell. That movement hurt, he was whining in between growls and wheezing. He looked back at Crank and said again "Get moving, dammit!"

[Li`l Pixie]

Crank snapped back to reality in an instant and shot off like a bullet.

"Leon! Get your ass over here!" she screamed to her friend. She skidded to a stop, watching his tussel. "Pull back! We need to regroup!"

She panted, her front claws on her knees. How could she have been so stupid?!

[[x]Ren[x]]

Leon heard Crank and followed, a small trail of blood following him. He skid and fell to his side off near Crank.

"Sh-sh-shit" he panted. He started struggling to breathe, it hurt to breathe and he knew he was bleeding. His vision was pretty blurred now, but he could still see enough to check the surroundings.

[Li`l Pixie]

Crank rushed to her friend, slinging him over her shoulder like a lamb going to market and took off. She was a lot stronger than most people took her for. Without a word, she dashed on, kicking up dust behind her.

Running in a zigzag pattern to avoid any further bullets, she skidded to a stop about a mile away from the tank. She hoped the humans would have given up by now. She panted, sweat coating her feathers and fur. She bent low, dropping the wolf onto the leafy ground and fell back, panting.

[[x]Ren[x]]

He felt himself being lifted, unsure whether it was Crank or one of those men. Though after feeling some of the speed he was pretty sure it was Crank.

[mm crap.]

[Li`l Pixie]

[lol its ok]

"You ok there, Leon?" Crank asked, catching her breath. Her friend's side was caked in blood, and she automatically began tending to it, licking away the mess in his fur. "We need to get you some kind of poultice. You think we should report back to Jihirad before continuing?"

[[x]Ren[x]]

Only being able to wheeze in reply he just lay there. This didn't go like he thought it would. He didn't think he'd get hit so hard. He didn't think about a lot of things he did, this time it hurt. Thinking on what sort of hazed thoughts he could have he shook his head and tried to say "no" but it came out not as he intended "N--agh!" he whimpered.

[Li`l Pixie]

Without another word, she dissappeared into the woods, and returned with some herbs. She shoved a few into his mouth.

"Chew," she said simply. The other leaves shew chewed up herself and pasted them on the wound while a few more still she used as a bandage.

"Just relax," she said calmly. "If wasn't bad. You'll be fine."

[[x]Ren[x]]

Leon wanted to sleep and yet he couldn't at the moment...Well he could if he wasn't so stubborn to let the pain make him pass out. The wolf chewed as directed and the taste just was like grass. He swallowed and just continued laying there. "Bullcrap" he growled ""Nehnehneh...It wasn't baaad."" he mocked.

[Li`l Pixie]

Crank snarled.

"Do you want to feel better or not? You could be dead by now." Sometimes Leon was so ungrateful. "Now what do you do now?" she scowled.

There was a unit somewhere patrolling, but they weren't very friendly. If er memory served her correctly, she would be a hoard of mountain cats, not a friendly species when it came to wolves and raptors.

[[x]Ren[x]]

"YOU could have been dead also. But sure, thanks. " he said with a clear scowl on his jaw. Then he forced himself to get up into a sitting position. It didn't hurt too much but it was a sharp pain when he first got onto his haunches. "Owch..Anyway lets go find a place to make camp for the day so crippley Leon can rest." he said with a half smile. Sniffing the air the patrols were within 5 miles now.

[Li`l Pixie]

Crank sighed. She wished he wasn't so angry. It was as if she did something wrong by saving him.

"Which direction is is?" she asked. He sense of smell wasn't as good as Leon's, but when given the right information, she could follow a trail for days.

[[x]Ren[x]]

Leon shook his head, he really knew he was being un-greatful but he would have to apologize later... "That way." Nodding his head to the east. "Within 4 or 5 miles at the moment. " He said. Contemplating on ways to get away fast enough without having to walk---duh...fly. And Crank could probably move fast enough. It was losing the patrols if they were spotted was the problem.

[Li`l Pixie]

"Are you gonna be ok to fly?" she asked. "The trees are pretty thick here."

She hoped things would work out. Leon was really her only friend in the Beast Domain. She was at work so much that she never got a chance to meet anyone else. She scampered on all fours along the path Leon had inicated, keep and eye out for the patrols.
