Roleplay- 16th of December

Romeo siezed Wilson by the lower jaw, hopefully he could momentarily handicap him long enough for Duke to do some damage.

Cactus changes his mind, and decides to help Ninja and face Black Widow. He charges at her, and, being so short compared to her, cannot do any damage to her face or back. Instead, Cactus slips under Black Widow's belly, scrapes it, and darts out. He braces himself for the female Midnight's next move.

ooc- I want the Wilson vs. Duke fight to return to 1 on 1 at some point. Also do you want Bravo to interupt Ninja's fight yet Yoshkat?

Black Widow lays helplessly on the ground as paralysis temporarily takes over her body after colliding into the rock. She winces at the throbbing pain radiating up her spine. The impact may have bruised it. Unable to move she's vulnerable to an attack, and as expected, that someone to take advantage of her brief handicap happens to be a Jumaa pup. She yelps as the air stings the fresh cuts on her belly which were left behind by the pup's claws. She snarls, enraged, and juts out her neck, snapping her jaws at the pup as he darted in each time but she can't manage to snare the nimble little pest.

Ninja is impressed with Cactus' fighting skills. All that playfighting has definitely payed off. He's blossomed into an impressive warrior. He grins proudly at Cactus. Despite the valorous tyke being too young to fight, Ninja sees some potential in him and allows him to attack Black Widow. From what he can see, the Midnight appears to be frail. With more helpers, he can execute Black Widow faster, leaving the Midnights to mourn for someone for a change.


ooc: Not yet, he's going to severely injure Black Widow first then he can attack Ninja.

Taakah burst into view, muscles churning. He stopped dead. THREE mobs at once!? He hesitantly threw himself at a near meerkat, slashing its side. He seen a smaller...pup? dash at a female, and raced over, bowling Cactus over with one small swat of his paw. Glancing at the female, he gave a curt nod, and dashed back into battle. Suddenly, he almost went blind. Memories came pouring like a bucket of ice in his mind. A small pup was crushed under a merciless paw, while another was being tossed back and forth like a ragdoll. Suddenly, a screech brought him back. He blinked, and shook his head. Suddenly, he seen a meerkat bowling over to him. He hissed, and turned, then ran farther into battle. He seen another meerkat, and gave a blow that sounded sickening. He stood, looking for the next easy target.

Once Buckeye realises that the mob is infact the Jumaa, it is too late. She is surrounded by fighting meerkats. In the midst of the fury, she decides that she didn't come all this way for nothing and barrels into Suri.

Jackie and Snowflake both look around for decent opposition.

On the sidelines both Snicker and Meg watch the fight, nervous.
------------------------------------------
Eztli is caught off surprise when Kinkajou attacks him. He snarls menacingly and snaps at her paws.
-------------------------------------------
Aliya snarls at Teetsie and snaps at her face. This fight was personal now. Even though it wasn't her pups that fell victim to Teetsie, she was still rage stricken.

Suri is caught by surprise when Buckeye rams into her. She appeared to be another dominant female. With all the meerkats around her, it appeared that three mobs were now on the assault. Still under shock, Suri snaps at Buckeye and grabs her ear in retaliation. The two meerkats snarl at eachother and try to defeat the other.

Emzio watches the fight in fear. As the third mob joins the fray. her skin crawls. Now the Jumaa were in trouble.

ooc: I just didn't get her out yet. i forgot to post....

Teetsie snarls as she is attacked by John and Aliya. Teetsie doesn't really care about the male right now, her prime target is Aliya. She slashes out again, her claws swiping along her stomach.

Aliya yips in surprise as Teetsie scratches her stomach and backs away slightly. She hadn't forgotten that she was pregnant and didn't want her pups dying even before they had a chance to see the world. She briefly watches Teetsie, before snarling once again and charging at her.

Suri and Buckeye continue fighting, both snapping at eachothers faces and clawing at their legs.

John snarls as Teetsie attacks Aliya and ponuces on the Midnight dominant, slashing her back and biting her shoulders.

Root swipes at Kassy, growling.

----------------------

Ashtail charges at the nearest meerkat, who was Brian from the Jumaa and headbutts him, looking for something to take her rage out on something after witnessing Triscuit's death.

Black Widow smiles greatfully at Taakah. The scent of the Willows is potent on him but she doesn't care at the moment that he's from a rival faction. She's just relieved he did her a favor by getting rid of that annoying Jumaa pup, Cactus.

Ninja chatters furiously at Taakah. How dare he harm Cactus! Enraged, he strikes out with his left paw, missing slashing his face by mere inches. His assault came a few seconds too late as Taakah was running off to confront another opponent. Taakah's swift movement generated a breeze which wafts towards Ninja's nose. Ninja picks up a familiar scent in that breeze. This scent... it smells so familiar. Suddenly, it comes to him. It belongs to the Willows! Wait....what the heck are they doing here? He hasn't forgotten that he's a dead meerkat in their eyes, especially in the eyes of his mate, Linda's over protective brother, Bravo, and he's also strongly despised by that bouncer built male named Tank. The flash back of him getting trapped in a bolt hole and raided by the Willows plays in his mind. Bravo and Tank almost killed him that day. It was by sheer luck he was able to escape alive. Oh, and there was that other time Bravo made a visit to the Jumaa and viciously attacked him. It wouldn't be surprising to find out Tank and Ninja, along with the other Willow males, are still peeved about him impregnating Linda which led to her eviction and, by now, they must assume she's dead. He suddenly begins feeling paranoid and vulnerable. He has no idea where they could be in this chaos. Seriously 3 mobs fighting at once?! What the heck led to this crazy battle!? Could both the Willows and Jumaa have been coincedentally invading Midnight's territory at the same time, hellbent on stealing their land to expand their own? What ever the reason, he fears most about being caught off gaurd and killed by the over protective Willows males when he least expects it.

The scent of the Jumaa suddenly jogs Tank's memory. Hey, isn't this the mob Ninja resides in? A sly, evil grin spreads across his face. If he can manage to find Ninja in amongst all this the chaos and catch the outlaw by surprise, then he could get rid of him for good. With his mind now set on finding Ninja, Tank snakes around the grappling meerkats, dodging jaws and claws expertly along the way. It's clear Ghost isn't here. He's wasted alot of time searching for a male who doesn't reside in any of these groups and needs to confront Ninja before his current mob retreats.

Conker grows eager when Taahkah's eyes meet him. He smells Willow scent on him but he doesn't care. He's urging to fight who ever confronts him, whether they'd be a Midnight or Willow. He boldly charges towards Taahkah, chattering a war cry. He can feel his heart palpating like crazy and his muscles tensing up from the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

Bravo finally spots Ninja and every negative emotion in his body, which is about every emotion right now, ignites into murderous rage and he leaps into the fray, ignoring all others in his cold-blooded objective to end the life of the one that killed his sister.

Duke and Wilson are too preoccupied in pummeling eachother to help out elsewhere.

Buckeye and Suri continue their fight.

Eztli is still defending himself from Kinkajou.

Jackie tackles the nearest meerkat.

Snowflake follows Jackie.

Emzio watches from the side, shivering.

Meg and Snicker also watch from the side. Snicker can feel himself getting dizzier, but he tries to ignore it. His mob's life was at stake here.

Black Widow notices Ninja to be distracted, apparantly he's thinking deeply about something. The nervous expression plastered on his face gives her the gist that it must be about something horrific. Could he have suddenly lost his confidance and is having second thoughts about confronting the lethal Midnights? She smirks mockingly suspecting this. Yeah you'd better be intimedated by the Midnight's deadly potential! They're not afraid to kill mercilessly again, and this time, he could be the next Jumaa to be struck down next, then, he'd be with his 2 dead pups he must still be mourning immensely for. Now that his attention is diverted away from her and she suspects he's becoming discouraged, this is her chance to take the oppertunity to deliver a brutal blow and gain the advantage. As she goes to get up though, intense pain shoots through her back and she blurts out a loud yelp, alerting Ninja of her attempt to attack him.

Acting swiftly, Ninja slams his front paws down on Black Widow's back, pinning her back down to the ground. He then leaps on her back and clamps his jaws on her side, thrashing his head back and forth viciously, ripping open a wound which bleeds heavily. He reverse jumps off her, nudges her side roughly, turning her on to her back and begins bombarding her legs, stomach and chest with relentless slashes, scoring her torso with gashes and lacerations. He chatters with pleasure as Black Widow's crimson colored blood stains his claws. He's extra determined to bring her to the point of bleeding to death which would most certainly prove fatal for his frail to begin with opponent. He has no idea that Bravo has spotted him and is encraoching on him with the intent to kill.

ooc: I don't want him getting attacked just yet. I still have a little plot to play out in the Ninja vs Black Widow scuffle.

Teetsie winced as she felt John's claws and teeth rip the skin on her back open, and when Aliya slashed her. Teetsie was being overpowered, but she refused to admit it. Knowing Aliya's stomach was her weakness, she dove for it and sank her teeth into the Jumaa female's side.

Dazed, Cactus finally recovers and gets up. He spots Bravo trying to attack Ninja and immediately flings himself at Bravo and manages to get as high as his back. Cactus digs his little claws into Bravo's back, growling furiously and refusing to let go. He isn't letting the confusion of three mobs in battle weaken him.

Ninja's relentless onslaught of clawing and biting leaves Black Widow helpless and unable to find a gap in the brutal beating to defend herself. She's growing significantly weaker from the copious loss of blood. She needs to act soon if she wants to emerge from this battle alive. Driven by the will to live and the determination to redeem herself, Black Widow swiftly jerks her neck upwards, snaring Ninja's lower jaw in the powerful grip of her fangs. She tugs Ninja with all her might to his left, yanking him off his feet and toppling him to the ground on his side. She then barrel rolls along the ground, wincing slightly as the sand stings her wounds, making Ninja roll simultaneously with her.

Ninja is paralyzed by the intense pain surging through his lower jaw. It's enough to render him unable to defend himself, adding in the dizzying barrel roll, he becomes dizzy and disoriented. For now, he's under Black Widow's control.

When Teetsie leaped, John was sent flying off the dominant female's back. He lands hard on his side. He winces but recovers fast and ran at Teetsie once more, sinking his fangs into her tail and shook his head viciously. He refused to let her harm or kill the future generations within Aliya!

Root attempts to pin Kassey down.

---------------------

Ashtail continues to attack Brian, showing no mercy. Fueled by her rage from Ghost's assault on Snicker and being a witness to Triscuit's death, the battle-scarred female felt empowered.

Taakah, turning at Conker, smirked. He swatted the pups legs from underneath him, and grabbed his scruff, carring him to the edge of the battle. He then turned to see teetsie. Growling, he pounced onto her, slashing at her face with his claws. Blood spraying, he jumped of her, then started to bull-doze through meerkats, as he had been taught to once. He happened to bowl Brian over, and glanced at Ashtail, a charm twinkling in his eye. He continued on, seeing Cactus on another meerkats back. He picked up the pup, and walked over to the side of the massive battle. Setting him down behind a bush, he growled. Stay here, you are not ready to fight! He then flung himself back into battle.

Conker topples on his side as Taakah sweeps him off his feet. As he's then gripped by the scruff and carried off in his hold, he snarls infuriated and struggles to dislodge himself from his captor. He growls trying to sound intimedating in his warning that he was about pummle Taakah. He remains cooperative though as he's placed down on the fringes of the battle field. Seeing his would-be opponent rip into the Midnight's dominant female, he sighs huffily. He'll get his oppertunity to fight eventually.

Black Widow and Ninja's dizzying barrel roll comes to an end with Ninja colliding into a stump, which to his relief, dislodges Black Widow, but the impact also leaves him briefly stunned. He and Black Widow simultaneously scarmble to their feet. They clash once more with swiping claws and snapping jaws, exchanging inflicting wounds on each other.

Carefully placing Saffron up on a flat topped rock, Josephine clambered up behind the young pup and began to survey the battlefield. Surprised by the vast numbers of meerkat bodies, scampering around, tumbling and fighting in the sand, she was distraught that she couldn’t make out the separation between the groups anymore.
Catching a familiar scent on the breeze caused her jerk her head and instantly took around. The Willows couldn’t be here? Could they?...Did that mean Lancaster was either out there in the Mindnight's territory or out amongst the mass of fightning meerkats?.

Starting to worry about Lancaster’s safety and not knowing he was actually back at the Willow’s burrow, Josephine started to make contact calls desperately hoping that her mate would hear her if he was out there. She knew this was a foolish thing to do, giving both their location away to predators or rovers but she couldn’t help but try, he heart wanted to see him again.

Too focused on Ninja to stop, Bravo bucks Conker off of him and keeps heading towards Ninja, only to be caught between Wilson and Duke's one-one-one battle.

Seeing a male of the unknown mob that just entered the fray get between him and Wilson, Duke attacks Bravo as well, snapping at his leg and drawing blood.

ooc- Taakah, it seems you're rping is close to powerplay and even godmod, and that's illegal.

ooc: I agree with Meyerm. I just read some of your posts where you've had your characters attack others and the way your attacking seems like powerplaying.

Also, I'm confused. who's Brian? XD

Saffron clings to Josephine's side, terrified. She cringes and yelps horried by the sights of meerkats ripping into each other with such furosity. She can't even tell who's who in the melee. Where are the Jumaa? Are they winning or losing? She hopes Josephine's contact calls will help them make out where the Jumaa are in the crazy battle, but she has no idea that her protector's calls could lead a rival, rover or a predator to their location.

And the meerkat to pick up on Josephine's distress calls happens to be Tank Willows. His ears swivel and twitch, trying to determine where the calls are coming from. He stands tall on his hind legs and glances around until his eyes stop on a meerkat perched on a rock at the top of a dune. At the meerkat's side, he sees a terrified pup. It's too far away to make out who the meerkat is but he suspects the mystery meerkat to be Ghost holding a pup hostage and is about to claim the life of that poor defenseless infant. Tank lets out an enraged, war roar and barrels at the meerkat. He MUST stop Ghost from killing another pup! He's unaware that the meerkat he's charging is actually his brother, Lancaster's long lost mate, Josephine.

ooc: Brian is one of Kusuma's Jumaa's isn't he?

((OOC: Yeah, I thought he was one of Kusuma's Jumaa.))

ooc: Oh okXD I didn't see his name in Kusuma's posts or I'm missing seeing him mentioned in her posts. I tend to skim quickly as I read postsXD
