The Warped

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral got up, switching his weapon into gun mode, and kept his weapon trained on the young girl, "How the hell did you know we were here? Why are you choosing to favor the rulers right now?" The girl froze when she rolled over and saw Kiral's weapon trained on her, and Mahi standing not too far behind her head. "Y-you have a weapon like them... listen old timer, I need the money. Besides, you guys are dead giveaways. There's no such thing as poor clergymen. You passed through the forest passage, I'm sure you probably already killed the hustlers in there, too. But I'm not the one you should be worried about. I'm just the first to get here. I was hoping to claim you for myself. At this point, I'll be lucky to even claim ONE of your heads." As she said that, a large boom came from the side of the hut as a giant hammer the size of Kiral broke through, revealing a very large and fat wielder the size of three men, and several other shadowy figures which Kiral can only assume were other bounty hunters. "Well shit."

Mahi rolled her eyes at the girl, calling her foolish in her head. "Some people in this time aren't very smart..." She mumbled. Since Kiral had his weapon on the girl, Mahi turned and grabbed the dragon egg wrapped in its cloth of the mattress, gently hanging it on her shoulders across her back. She had heard the hammer coming before it hit, but she still jumped slightly just the same. Even though she could "see" the new arrivals, somehow she had switched to a state of mind where she wasn't worried about them. "No one is going to get any of our heads, especially not you." She angled her head at the girl with her blades still out, looking sort of creepy with her fogged over eyes and the look she had on her face. "They've got a better shot, but I still don't think they'll get very far." She tilted her head towards the newcomers when she said "they've" then straightened her head back up.

*The wolf dragon looked from outside as the rest of the bounty hunters showed up, particularly noticing the one with the giant hammer just smash through the inside of the room* "Shit indeed, I'll move around behind them, hopefully there's nobody already behind me..." *White moved slowly in the background and crept around trying to stay out of sight and out of mind, he raised his hammer looking upon the big guy's back and his head* "This should be easy... I think. Though as soon as I kill one, the others will probably kill me... I guess I'll play the opportunist's role in this one and wait to attack after Mahi and Kiral do so first. Either that or I could get their attention long enough to escape... I hate these kinds of decisions."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

While White tried to think of a plan, and snuck around, an archer had been watching from the edge of town and fired off a shot that zinged right past White's ear, barely nicking it. Kiral turned his weapon to the large man in front of the group and fired off a few shots, being blocked by the large hammer as the big man raised it surprisingly fast. The girl on the ground took advantage of it and swung her sword at Kiral's feet, but her swing was slow and she made it pretty obvious with her grunt of effort to swing it. Kiral jumped back and switched the weapon to sword mode, expecting to fight, but the girl still laid there. Apparently, her armour was too heavy for her, and once she fell, she couldn't get up.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi would have normally sort of felt bad for the girl's sad, failed attempt and the fact that she couldn't get up, but her demeanor had changed and she just laughed at the girl without looking at her, moving a little to get out of the reach of the sword but not giving the girl anymore attention than that. She wasn't really sure what to do in the situation but just went with what she thought of. She released one of the weighted wires on her right-hand gauntlet, sending it at the hammer-wielding bounty hunter and hoping to get it around the arm that was holding the weapon.

[White Wolf Guardian]

"Oh crap! Long range support is nearby, or at least another lone ranger, dammit I just want to get out of here." *The wolf dragon picked up his Snitch and held it up in front of himself, putting his hammer behind his back and running towards the archer* "I'm screwed either way, I might as well try to beat him close up... oh wait." *The wolf dragon spread his wings and flew up in the air* "If shooting a bow is anywhere near close to using a gun, then it's going to be very difficult for him, HA!" *He flew towards the archer, high enough in the sky to make it difficult to hit accurately, all the while using his Snitch for extra protection*

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Unfortunately, for White, it was a more experienced bounty hunter, and he wasn't the only archer. Two additional arrows had come flying at him, all of them dangerously close, and a few hitting his shield. Mahi's string missed its mark as the giant hippo moved his arm surprisingly just as quickly and demolished another portion of the hut, going for Kiral and Mahi with one hit, the girl also in the way. Kiral quickly jumped back quickly, the hammer hitting down on the girl, but to his surprise, didn't smash her. In fact, the hammer rebounded right off her breast plate. "Goddamn. We might have use for that girl yet."

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi casually moved back to be sure that she was out of the way of the swinging hammer while retracting the wire back into her gauntlet. "Her armor might be useful but I don't see any use from her other than that." She said in a tone that disregarded the girl as unimportant. "Now...this is going to be stupid, but here goes nothing." She sent all three wires from her left-hand gauntlet at the hippo, timing each one differently.

[White Wolf Guardian]

"Crap, well now I'm stuck up here and there's more than one of those damn sharpshooters down there, I guess I'll follow through and just zoom down directly with the Snitch in front of me, hoping they don't hit my wings." *White dove down with the shield raised and headed straight for his closest archer* "I hope they like a dish full of metal, because they are about to get a full serving and if I survive long enough, a hammer to the skull."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The first archer tried to run, and took the shield right in his lower back, the bone cracking upon impact. The other two quickly turned and fired at White. The hippo didn't so much as move when a few greedier bounty hunters rushed forward, getting tangled in the wires, the lines already cutting into their clothing and skin. Kiral took a few more shots as he stepped on top of the girl's breast plate after having kicked away her sword from her hand.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi tugged her hand back hard which subsequently made the wires tug back hard, being sure to cause major damage to the bounty hunters who had been unfortunate enough to get tangled up in them. "Well at least I got somebody in that attempt so it wasn't completely wasted." She thought to herself. "But seriously, this guy can't be THAT smart..." There was no way she was gonna charge at the hippo since she was sure that the hammer would get her before she got the hippo, but he would also see her wires coming if she used those too. She really wasn't sure what she was going to do to take this guy down but she didn't look scared or worried about what she was facing.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*Feeling the lower backside of the archer crumble under the blow of his shield as they tried to flee gave the wolf dragon some satisfaction up until he felt the whizzing sound of a couple more arrows shoot right past his head and back* "More of them?" *He turned to face two more archers looking rather angry and without hesitation to kill anything else that held any sort of inclination to attempt to hurt him or his party members. As he did so he lifted his hammer and tried to deflect what he could, knowing inevitably his wings would probably be pierced and scarred as he charged forward ready to swing horizontally* "Stay still so I can make this quick." *White said as the hammer swished through the air like the sound of tree log flying for a short moment after it had been cut down*

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The archers maintained their barrage at White to keep him at bay while the hippo finally decided to charge the hut. He was surprisingly fast, and Kiral barely snapped to in time to dodge the charging hammer wielder. As estimated, the girl's armor was strong enough to maintain its integrity, despite her screaming and doubt of her own. The hippo did a small skip and landed right through the floor, swinging the large hammer sideways and backwards, destroying the rest of the walls and roof in the process, aiming for the party.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi moved as fast as she could to get out of the way of the hippo and his hammer. She shamelessly laughed out loud when the hippo went through the floor. She couldn't enjoy the funny moment that long though because she had to avoid the wild swings that the hippo sent out afterward. Somehow, she managed to trip in the process but she slowly lifted herself off of the floor. The embarrassment from it would come to her once her she slipped back into her normal attitude.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*The wolf dragon smashed into the first archer and was shot by the second in his left wing, letting out a fairly loud roar as the first archer collapsed from broken bones and internal bleeding; the large draconic opponent turned to face the last sharpshooter* "Shoot me again, make my day." *He pulled the arrow out of his wing with a wince and broke it in half with his grip*
