Alley way several blocks ,Legion.
Tigress s threw Crow against the wall Pieris gasped as she picked him up by the collar holding him off the ground. "You are going to explain thoroughly what the HELL just happened back there. No riddles or walking away then giving a half assd explanation." Crow looked down the ground then looked back up to her with a cocky grin "Whatcha gonna do to make me?" Tigress bared her teeth growling "Whatever it takes." Crow gave a slight nod "Good choice." he snapped his knee forward catching her in the ribs. Tigress dropped him grabbing her chest, he brought a fist down n the back of her head flooring her completely, all of this happened in less then five seconds. Tigress made to stand Crow placed a boot on her spine forcing her down.
"Bet you thought that "Hes not going to fight back. He wouldn't dare do that no Im a Kung fu master leader of the furious five what chance does he have against me?" Crow grabbed her arm forcing her up "Well I got some fuckin news for you lass." he shoved her against the wall "I don't take threats lightly. If you want answers follow me shut up and do what your told. If not..." he turned fists clenched "Your ass can say in this fuckin alley." Pieris moved out the wolf path ,she knelt down next to Tigress helping her stand "You alright?" Tigress rubbed the dirt from her muzzle "Im fine." She brushed past Pieris, Crow waited at the alleys exit into the street. He was watching people exit and enter a small green building surrounded by trees, Tigress frowned the sighed in defeat "Fine." she murmured the wolf whirled around a smiled plastered on his face "Good. Now if you'll follow me " he nodded to both of them "Are destination lays right across the street." He pointed to the green building then strode across the street. Pieris held unto Tigress arm "Are you really going to follow him?" she asked quietly. Tigress closed her eyes the letter from Shif flashed through her thoughts "I don't have much of a choice." with that said she followed Crow.
Tigress and Pieris made it to the cracked, mildew covered steps just as the wolf reached he top "What is this place." said Pieris gagging at the sudden smell of it all. Crow stopped mid knock, he turned to her licking his lips slowly "Now ya done it." One second he was there the next he was yanked through the doorway. Sounds of furniture breaking and yelling could be heard from inside, "Should we?..." Pieris pointed to the road "Yes we-" a lithe looking jackal blocked their path, he was dressed in a similar fashion to Crow except his duster was forest green and his pants were charcoal brown "Ev'nen shelas nice night to be out wouldn't ya say?" he said with a smile twirling out a silver pocket watch, Tigress pushed Pieris behind her back "Yes I suppose it is..." She took a step forward, the jackal tensed "Now now then what the rush?" The commotion inside stopped, the jackal took a step forward "Stop." growled Tigress baring her teeth. The Jackal raised his hands "I live here." He pointed behind her, she made the mistake of looking back. He jumped forward blowing something into her face. Tigress staggered nearly falling unto Pieris. She whipped whatever was in her eyes away, the jackal frowned "Tat usually works …." he glanced at Pieris "Incubus." the jackal chuckled "Well that changes things." Click. Tigress felt cold metal pressed against the back of her head "Step back nice ad slow like." said a new voice ,Click "Or the girl gets it." Tigress raised her hand backing up into the doorway.
The jackal followed closing the door slowly behind, still facing him Tigress expected the house to resemble the outside old broken down smelly all around ugly as hell. What she saw (From where she was standing at least) resembled something akin to a palace or throne room. Dark green jade walls decorated with countless pictures and tapestries, lavish furniture covered in what looked like weapons most of which were scattered around like they'd just been-"Oi! Eyes forward!" Commanded the voice again noticeably female this time. They passed underneath a large aqueduct covered in strange hieroglyphics, Tigress took all this in open mouthed "How is this all possible..." Whispered Pieris for the first time since they entered "Now that's the real question isnt it?" boomed a voice behind them, Tigress was forced to turn around as was Pieris. They where met with a smiling red panda holding a fairly large cylinder device, "Sona please be kinder to are guests." Scolded the panda, the name reminded Tigress of something she'd heard but couldn't quiet remember what exactly.. Sona muttered a curse lowering the gun "But they were with him." Him? Did she mean-"That doesn't mean they know who he his." waved the panda dismissively. Sona made a snorting sound stepping around Tigress, the tiger was shocked at the site, Sonas forked tongue flicked in and out in agitation "Yeah well guilty by association." she crossed her arms glaring at them. "Guilty?!" Cried Pieris "Of what!" The panda sighed shrugging defeatedly "Tell me what do you know about the one named Crow?"
Tigress clenched her fists choosing her next words carefully "All I really know is hes odd, brash, a knowitall, and has totally disregarde for those around him even though they try their best to get along with him." she practically spat the last part out. The panda and Sona where silent for a solid minute until they burst out laughing "Phwhahahahah! Your hilarious! Hahahah!" she threw her head back laughing to the ceiling. The panda was snickering covering his to try and cover it "Your probably thinking of someone else, where talking about the one you arrived with." Pieris rolled her eyes "Thats who we came in with." They stopped laughing staring at Pieris as if seeing her for the first time. "You..." murmured the panda rubbing his chin "Incubus..." Pieris shrank behind Tigress back, Sona pulled the panda back whispering urgently. He nodded before reaching into his robe pulling out a set of glasses "Tell me miss?..." "Pieris Everden." "Miss. Everden...how old are you?" "What why-" Sona held up the pistol to her head "Just answer the question and you walk out of here with your brain still inside your skull." Tigress tensed another firearm appeared in the reptilan woman hand this time against Tigresses fore head . Pieris gulped "Eightt-t-t-t-teen" the panda turned heel pacing back and forth "The son of the bitch actually did it..."
"Who the hell you callin a bitch old man!" yelled Crow standing beneath the aquaduct arms crossed with a cocky smile. Sonas eyes widened "What happened to Nana!" she screamed shoving past Pieris and Tigress. Crow chuckled holding his arms out "Your sister has the softest breasts EVER. Cant say the same for you. Your all scales." Sonas faced turned to red to purple which is a color reptiles just don't turn. The reptilian fired off several rounds screaming profanity, Crow yawned as the slugs mushroomed off an invisible barrier, Sona kept firing until her clips where empty and he lungs spent. "You done?" the wolf asked scratching his head. If looks could kill he would be six feet under with his on backwards, Crow turned his attention to the panda "Been long time hasn't it Clark? Hows the wife?" Clark face palmed "For the love of-Fine shes fine." the wolf smiled happily walking briskly past the furious Sona to where they stood. "That's good that's good. Ah I see you've met my companions." He wrapped his arms around the two females giving them a small squeeze, Tigress shoved him off rubbing her arms as to clean his touch away. Clark covered his eyes "Why did you come back?" Crows smile remained "Whadya mean." The panda sighed walking back wards, the room polarized Pieris latched onto Tigress ,a brief moment of nausia passed before settling. Tigress blinked "Where outside." whispered Pieris. " .FUCK!?" screamed the tiger Pieris whipped around to see Tigress...without a shirt.
Clark winced hearing the screams, Crow snickered quietly beneath the aquaduct "Still working on that warp spell I see." he said between snickers. Clark rolled his eyes "Four years. Four years you said ,when did you say that 10? 15 years ago?" overhead the ceiling shifted from bright to dark. "I got held up." was all Crow said before turning away. The panda appeared infront of him "No! Your not leaving not until you explain the girl." the wolfs head tilted sideways "Girl? what gir-" "The Incubus girl! Daughter of Narcissus! Why on earth is she just walking around in the freaking open?!" Crow snapped his fingers "Oooooohhhh that girl. Yeah I made a promise. Killed a few incubie etc etc See their was this mean tiger..." Clark stared at him in disbelief "What happened to you man. What happened to my brother." he chocked out, Crow tensed his hand twitched at his side "He didn't suffer." Crow made to touch his should but held off from doing so "Cant say the same about everyone else." This time Clark didn't stop him.
Crow walked outside to be greeted by a fist, which hit him twice both in the face before actually letting him out "That's for ditching us." she said before round house kicking him in the midsection "And thats for everything else!" he groaned on the ground for a moment before sitting up "Better?" wheezed the wolf holding his stomach , Tigress kicked him again "Now? yes." Crow rolled to his back "OKAY." he held up a hand, Tigress rolled her eyes pulling him up. "I deserved that I know so lets just leave it at that ayt?" With one arm holding his midesection he gave Tigress a partial one armed hug, she coughed before backing away "Yeah whatever..." she muttered adjusting her shirt (vest thing haven't the faintest idea in what it is.) Pieris cleared her throat "Are we just..?" she motioned towards the building "Oh yes that long story kinda sad actually not something for the faint of heart make ya cry if one of them people." he said this while hobbling down the steps. "Just tell it Crow." barked Tigress, he raised his hands walking backwards into the street "Fine you asked for it...All began a long time ago with a dragon sitting by six tombstones..." Crow stiffened his head whipped around left and right he looked up and down blinking rapidly " Crap." Before any of them could move a section of building fell down atop them throwing shrapnel and bodies everywhere...
What makes the sky so beautiful? What makes those who look up to it want to travel its plains? Is it the sense of adventure? Or perhaps just wanting to be free? Crow stared at the clear blue sky, he held up a hand open palmed then made a fist, Tigress lay on the ground next to him, debris surrounded them both "Crow..." she whispered struggling to raise he head. The wolf blinked then coughed "yeah i'm here..." he whispered. Tigress started crawling towards him "Wheres...Pieris?..." A scream rent the air followed by a flurry of beating wings. "Guess that's be her." Crow chuckled then went into a coughing fit, "Oh shit." He looked down to his stomach a large piece of wood was sticking out of it. Crows head fell back, and the days had been so well up to this...
With agony the wolf sat up holding the piece of wood in his midsection between his hands. All around strange florescent birds hovered in the air in the moment Tigress could actually see one she relized these things where not like anything she'd ever seen before. About a foot high the birds never stopped moving when they did it was only for the briefest of seconds. To the untrained eye they were impossible to see but due to her training ,Tigress could make them out just fine. Pieris on the other hand not so much she screamed again as the creatures flurried around her every time one touched her strips of fabric and fur came off with it. Crow stiffened a howl as he yanked the wood out, nothing major had been hit but he'd bleed out without medical attention "Tigress can you walk?" said tiger was already on her feet making her way over to the screaming vixen " A building just fell on my head but yeah I can walk." she stumbled falling next to him "Actually no I think my left legs broken." she wheezed. The bird creatures started again to swarm around Pieris "Tigress!" she yelled running through the flurry one grabbed her by her collar. She flailed around until it drooped her next to them , she landed painfully on her feet, the shock traveled all the way to her ear tips nearly making her pass out. "Evenen lass welcome to the show." Crow fell back "IF you would exscuse me" he coughed "Im going to go into shock now." his eyes rolled back the wolfs body spasmed, Tigress rolled over holding him down "Pieris help me!" The vixen just stared at Tigress confused, before she could speak the young fox was yanked up into the sky by a flock of the bird creatures. Her screams echoed of the biulding s until silence filled the scence. Tigress mouth hung open in shock, Crow coughed up blood "Dieing here." he gasped. Tigress shook her head clearing away the daze "You shouldn't have pulled it out." she muttered through clenched teeth. She placed a hand over the wounded stopping the bleeding momentarily "We need to get you to a doctor." Crow gave a small raspy chuckle "Fraid the Doctors out of the question love." Tigress felt more blood seeping between her fingers "You have a better idea?" Some one cleared their throat, Tigress looked up. Sona, Clark, the jackal, and a raccoon stood in a semi circle around them "Why Monster hunter Inc of course." said Clark with a smile.
