Midnight Fishing (Open)

[hotpocket]

Outside of Edge Park were several Turics, a bird-looking Test Subject, and Koshka. Despite the expressionless look on Koshka’s face, he was filled with excitement. He was on a mission to capture some kids who were trying to run away. He didn’t care at all that he was outside of the Scarlet Rose Academy. He couldn’t care less about that; he just wanted to capture somebody. Since this wasn’t really a planned out mission though to capture a specific person, there wasn’t any guarantee of him capturing anybody. The whole group of them had set up a perimeter just outside the park. Koshka was the closest out of the group to the wall; approximately 230 feet away from it. So far 3 hours had passed and nobody was seen. Suddenly, a high-pitched noise beeps from his ear-piece used for communication which meant that someone else in the group had captured somebody. From the duration and tone of the beep he could tell that it was one of the Turics that he had come with and that a 12 year old boy was captured.

Koshka was envious of the Turic who had managed to capture a target. Sure, the mission wasn’t a failure now but he wouldn’t get praised as much as the one who captured somebody. Since one of the group had captured somebody, they now had to take their catch back to the Academy. This meant that there was now a gap in the perimeter so they had to reposition themselves in order to close the gap. While he was moving into his new position – he heard the sound of an older hoverboard flying through the air. They must have just gotten over the wall for him to just now be hearing it. Whoever was on that board surely thought something along the lines of entering freedom from crossing over that wall. Oh how they were wrong.

Behind a small mound of dirt laid Koshka flat on the ground. The quiet sound of the hoverboard was getting closer… and closer… and closer… Once it was within 40 feet of him, he could tell exactly where it was. This situation couldn’t be any better really. It was the middle of the night, the target was on a hoverboard so his hearing would be dampened from the noise of the fans, and the target was heading directly towards him. The feline-like human, Koshka, was now crouching right behind the mound of dirt, waiting for his pray to get closer. He could probably… no, definitely catch the target now if he was to run straight at it but that was less fun. Since he knew there was no way the target could escape he allowed himself to have a bit of fun.

The target was 20 feet away… 17 feet… 13 feet… 9 feet… 5 feet… Koshka jumped up from behind the mound of dirt and leapt straight at the target. His large hands had immediately clashed with the small body of the target and he could hear the sound of a bone breaking. Whoops, he hit his target too hard. The kid that was on the hoverboard fell several feet backwards upon being hit. The moment the small body had contacted with his hands, one rib was broken. Another rib had broken as the child landed on the ground. After looking over the body, his pray appeared to be a 14 year old girl. That came as somewhat of a surprise to him. He’d only captured one other girl before compared to 7 boys. She was somewhat of a rarity. Either way, his mission was done. He didn’t even need to administrate the anesthetics that he had been given in order to put any captures asleep. The girl had lost consciousness the moment she hit the ground.

Koshka said out-loud “Koshka 22 has captured a 14 year old girl.” which came out to the rest of the group through their ear-pieces as a slightly different tone beep than the one that had been transmitted earlier. The mission had now surpassed expectations, even if they were low. Only one person was to be captured for the mission to count as a success since not too many people try going over the wall anymore. Now they had captured two people in a night. With a slight smile on his face, he picked up the girl with his right paw which was big enough to completely wrap around her torso and began to walk back towards the Scarlet Rose Academy. Hopefully the rest of the group that he had arrived with would capture people too. He didn’t care at all what would be done to this young girl that he was now responsible for breaking two of her ribs; he just knew that his superiors would be happy which was enough to make him happy. Then a thought crossed his mind which he found to be rather funny… this was kind of like fishing. From the few movies that he had ever watched for no particular reason, one of them had a scene of several men fishing. They were sitting in a large boat and waiting for fish to bite on the bait at the end of their lines. Eventually they would catch something – all it took was patience.

[Kylar Setos]

Kylar snuck through the trees easily, his human form jumping roots and low branches as he ran. Kylar needed to get into the city and check out the wolf situation. Dad had sent him on this mission to see if his spys were still Loyal. Kylar would Make sure they were.... or take them out. Kylar smirked as he ran, but stopped, crouching down behind a bush and watched, huddling down so his scent wouldn't travel and saw two turics walk past. Kylar sniffed, smelling them and almost growled. he wanted to kill them. They betrayed there alpha. Kylar waited for them to pass, then spun and HIs blades entered the heart of a were right behained him. The Kylar covered his mouth and held him down, saying," I'm not just some kid you f***." and twisted the blade, killing the Were. Kylar pulled it out, and took the ear piece from the body. Kylar smirked, hearing in on the commands and then frowned. Kylar heard someone named Koshka captured a little girl? Kylar started moving as the one turic said," Good. Hellon 3, help Koshka out." Kylar looked back at the were, and took his wallet out, cursing his luck. He killed hellon 3. Kylar took the ear piece out and destroyed it. In case of GPS of course. Kylar ran towards the wall around the city, wanting to just get there and get out.

Kylar stopped, sniffing and smelt the sickly human twisted smell of a test subject, and growled and got up, holding his blades in front of him and walked up to the test subject silently as He looked at the girl. She was young, and that just ticked him off."Step away from the girl freak," kylar said, stopping and then growled, a growl that would say that to any wolf this was a challenge. Kylar's eyes narrowed, and he said," let me guess? your with the scarlet rose?" Who else would be a dirt bag enough to kidnap a kid.

[hotpocket]

While Koshka was walking, he was informed that Hellon 3 would be backing him up. Hellon 3 hadn't replied though which was somewhat of a cause for suspicion. The only reason he'd have not to respond is if he were in pursuit of a target. That was probably the case... that meant that 3 people would be captured. The superiors would be happy about that. As Koshka was passing by were Hellon 3 was supposed to meet up with him; he smelled something which resembled that of a dirty dog. Then a voice spoke up from close-by and said ."Step away from the girl freak," followed by "let me guess? your with the scarlet rose?".

When Koshka turned around to face the voice, he was surprised at how close the man was. The man was within 40 feet of Koshka so he should have been able to know exactly where the man was before he spoke. Judging by the sole fact that the man smelled somewhat like a dirty dog, Koshka had determined that the man who is now getting in his way is either a Werewolf or an escaped Test Subject with canine DNA. Either way, the man was obviously an enemy. At least the fight would be in close-quarters judging by the fact that the man had blades out and ready.

After staring at the man for several seconds, analyzing the situation, Koshka held the girl up higher with his right paw and pointed a claw from his left paw at her forehead; it would be easy to penetrate her skull and impale her brain if he needed to. "Koshka 22 says that he will kill the girl in an instant if you attempt anything." said Koshka in a nearly robotic voice. He was actually getting even more excited though. He'd love to capture this man too but the mission was to capture kids trying to run away. The mission comes first, he doesn't have the time to deal with a dog.

Hopefully the rest of the group that Koshka came with would soon arrive at his location. After all, the communication devices were always on. The rest of the group could hear everything being said by Koshka. It should take them no more than 5 minutes to get to him. If the man were to try assaulting Koshka, then he'd simply use the girl as a human shield and then kill her depending on how close the man got. If that were to happen, then he could have some fun playing with the doggy. He stared straight into the man's eyes with a conviction that said "I'm not letting go of her".

[Kylar Setos]

Kylar growled, and understood where this was going to go. Kylar looked at the girl, and he thought of bella, and Kai. kai...... Kylar growled again and lowered the blade."No honor," Kylar said, listening and hearing the wolves closing in. He would have no choice now but to run. But the girl..... Kylar HATED THIS! He couldn't leave the girl. Not like this. Kylar hated being a prince sometimes.

Kylar assesed the situation, seeing the test subject's paw on the head, and wolves most likely closing in, Kylar was stuck. he couldn't run now. So, Kylar ripped off his jacket, saying" Of all the stupid things i have done," and kicked off his shoes and pack, and the process of shifting started. Kylar's face grew a muzzle and his eyes changed. his arms went super buff and furr covered his body as his hands grew clawed hands/paws. his feet turned into paws and his legs into the hind legs of a wolf, and a tail emerged from his back. His clothes lay on the ground at his side as it finished. It took a second.

kylar pounced, giving the test subject to warning and tackling him, knocking his paw off the girl. Kylar used his greater wheight to push the human down, careful not to bite. He did not want this human to turn into his species. He slashed with his claws on his face and Grabbed his shoulders, ignoring the test subject, and threw it into a tree with his stength. Kylar backed up, on all fours now and covered the girl with his big body. kylar smelt blood and knew some of it was his. Kylar looked around, then howled, locking eyes with the test subject. his eyes were saying," Over my dead body." Kylar saw the wolfs approaching and growled, knowing he had to wrap this up soon.

[hotpocket]

Koshka had begun slowly digging one of his claws into the girl's forehead as the man had begun showing his true form. It was a very shallow puncture but it was enough to cause blood to trickle down onto her face. When the man had finished transforming into an over-sized dog - he had rushed Koshka in a frighteningly fast speed. Koshka had underestimated the speed of the werewolf. He had tried to kill the girl as soon as the dog had moved but he only managed to dig his claw in deep enough to almost reach her skull.

"Koshka 22 says that you have lost your chance to leave unarmed." said Koshka in a pained voice. He was just thrown against a tree before he even realized what was going on after all. He moved the back of his right paw to the front of his mouth and licked it while running through several attacks he could do. He could attempt to steal the girl back, he could attempt to kill the girl while the dog had her, or he could just try to capture the over-sized dog. He liked a combination of those choices the most. His plan now was to injure the dog's arms to the point where they can no longer be used in a fight and - in the best case scenario - manage to capture both the werewolf and the girl.

He lowered the paw from his face and jumped straight at the dog with his right arm high in the air and an insane look in his eyes. He was going to attempt to try to inflict a crippling cut on the dog's left arm. If he missed and accidentally hit the girl, then that would be perfectly fine with him. If the dog manages to dodge or counter his attack, then things would get truly interesting. There was no way that he'd leave without one of them in tow. Whether it was the girl or the werewolf, he'd be taking somebody back to the Academy.

Maybe he'd be able to catch two fish with a single cast. While he was mid-air the thought of eating a fish had flashed through his head for a split-second. As he closed in on the werewolf to attack it's arm, a grin appeared on his face.

[Kylar Setos]

Kylar looked at the test subject get up and rolled his eyes. This one was nothing like alyx. He liked alyx. This was a pain. Kylar looked at the cat thing jumped, and for a cat, was slow about it. Kylar reached out, grabbing the test subject's wrist with his longer reach and slammed him into the ground next to them, tehn yanked up and tossed him again, this time into a different tree. Kylar looked at him, then walked over. Kylar knelt down and held his head down with one big paw.

Kylar leaned down and said in his ear," Don't try it. I am first prince under High alpha Kellen, Werewolf of the east. There is no way you can beat me. If I were you, I would run," Kylar said, grabbing the test subject harder by the head and picked him up, then threw him again into a Turic running up. Kylar turned, seeing more turic come and two grab the girl, and he got Pissed. Really pissed. Kylar let a roar let loose in his throat that silenced the forest around them, and he charged the wolfs that betrayed his father. Kylar charged, jumping forward. Kylar loked down at the turics, who hadn;t even shifted yet and two fell as he landed.

Kylar slashed, kcied, fought and bit, fighting his own kind and found himself in a ring standing over the girl."All this over a human? Kylar, you have lost it." Kylar knew he couldn;t stand against this many opponents for long, so it was time to do something stupid or desperate. and soon.

[hotpocket]

Koshka's attack had failed miserably. He had been slammed into the ground and then thrown against a tree. He noticed that his ear-piece had fallen out when he impacted with the tree... it looked like it was still working though. The dog had come over to him and said "Don't try it. I am first prince under High alpha Kellen, Werewolf of the east. There is no way you can beat me. If I were you, I would run,". That was an absurd thing to say. With him saying that there was now no way that he could run away. There was no way he could win this fight by himself though. He noticed a Turic running up to help but he was thrown into that very same Turic by the dog.

The only good thing about this what that the dog had been talking close enough by the ear-piece for everything he said to be transmitted. The Turic who had captured the first kid should have been able to hear it and almost be at the Academy... so if the Academy decided that this guy is the real "prince" then a lot of reinforcements would be coming. Koshka started to laugh a bit quietly. It had been a long time since he was getting beaten up so badly.

He raised to his feet and stared at the dog who was engaging the other Turics. It would appear that nobody here was a match for him in a small group. He took a step forward and felt an immense pain in his chest - one of his ribs had broken. That reminded him of how he was responsible for breaking two of the ribs of the girl that the dog was protecting. He thought to himself "Karma" as he began running to the dog for another attack. There was no way he could give up. If it meant giving his life to capture the dog-prince, then he would.

This time, Koshka was going for the man's legs in order to immobilize him. He wasn't going as fast as he wanted to be though. Just from dashing at 30 miles-per-hour his chest was going to make him black out from pain before the enemy did. He couldn't stop though; the superiors wouldn't be happy if he just gave up. His life was trivial compared to that of the dog-prince. That's how he saw it.

[Kylar Setos]

Kylar growled, blocking a strike and striking out flat palmed one were in the chest and lasted out hit his back paw, kicking another were away. Kylar saw the first were drop as Kylar's blow had stopped his heart and Kylar quickly clocked him on the side of his head as there turic's heart started up again. He didn't want to kill these weres. He disliked killing his kind. well, the ones that were forced at the scarlet rose. Usually the willing ones were higher up in ranks. Kylar spun, blocking a strike from behained him and then ducking as another slashed, catching his partner in the face. Kylar lashed out from below, cracking a shot to the vitals as they collapsed. Maybe he did stand a chance. Kylar felt a furry mass tackle him and he landed above the girl. He refused to land on her as his arms kept him up. kylar heaved, throwing himself back before anyone else jumped on him, throwing the werewolf off. Kylar didn't have time to rest, blocking a bite and ripping the wolf's lower jaw off, then spinning and blocking another strike from another wolf. Kylar was panting and slobber was flying as the fight went.

Kylat smelt the test subject approaching, but couldn't do anything do to three weres attacking him at once. Kylar dodged another strike, biting the wolf's arm and ripping his teeth out to hearing the wolf scream, and caught another punch, pulling the wolf behained him into the path of the test subject. Kylar Bit blood into the eyes of the Were coming at him and then helicoptered him so he landed on his back and he was now facing the last of the turics and the test subject running at him. Kylar stepped in front of the girl on the ground, and roared at him, spit flying from his mouth as the test subject came at him.

Kylar blocked the blow, using his touch paws to catch it and kicking out, aiming for the test subject's head and then slashed an upper cut, trying to take his head off. Kylar's ears perked, and the growled and Kicked laned a punch on the test subject, and spun around and tackled the were who tried to take the girl. Kylar's teeth found the turic's throat and ripped it open. Blood dripped over his face, but then something ran through the night that made things for complacated. the girl woke up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as Kylar stepped in front of her, giving her a small push back with a growl and said," Stay still. I'm the good guy." yeah, a werewolf with blood all over his mouth, the good guy. Kylar gave another growl in frustration as he heard more pounding feet, and swore, grabbing the girl over his shoulder and started running. He wasn't a speed werewolf, but he was darn fast. Kylar tour through the forest, heading for the wall. If he could get ver it and shift, he might be safe.

[hotpocket]

"So pathetic..." thought Koshka. His attack had once more failed and was instead countered harshly. He noticed the dog-prince go for an uppercut so he had to call off his attack at the last minute to avoid getting killed. The punch had hit the right side of his face and the claws from the dog-prince inflicted several deep cuts on his face. If he hadn't attempted to dodge at the last second then there was a good chance he would have been beheaded.

He fell to the ground on his back and took a second to stare at the stars in the night sky. No more than a second though. He heard the girl scream - she must have woken up. "Stay still. I'm the good guy." said the dog-prince in response to her screaming. If he was in the girl's position he would have been screaming too most likely. He wondered if the dog-prince knew that the girl had two broken ribs. His running away with her would surely be causing a great amount of pain on her body.

Koshka stood up and dashed after the dog-prince and girl. The top speed he could get to was 49 miles-per-hour. He could have pushed his body to the full 58 mph had he not been so badly beaten already. The dog-prince was fast too though. He couldn't catch up, but he was able to ensure that he wouldn't lose sight of the duo. It seemed like they were heading for the wall. If they got over it, he lost. He began running on all fours to give himself an extra boost in speed. It wasn't much though. He slowly gaining on the dog-prince.

What would he do when he caught up though? He had no idea. He couldn't beat him in a close-quarters fight which was where he excelled and snatching the girl from him would be just as hard. He had absolutely no plan - right now he was just focused on catching up. As the chase was coming to a close since they were almost at the wall - he had just barely caught up to the dog-prince and leapt for the girl in his arms in a final attempt to capture her.

[Kylar Setos]

Kylar heard the cat catching up and a desperate idea came to him. Kylar grabebd the girl and the hover board, dropping his pack and jacket on the ground with a look of pain for the jacket and jumped. Kylar's powerful legs got him ten feet in the air and He positioned the girl on the hover board and turned it on and threw both. The girl screamed as she hovered over the wall, and to safety. Kylar grinned, landing before the wall and turned, meeting the test subject as he ran into him. Kylar felt wounds on his chest and roared, his claws finding hold in the test subject's shoulders as his lower paws kicked up, throwing the test subject over his head and rolled. Kylar Knew that the wounds he did with his claws would be sizzling from the acid on his claws. That is why a werewolf used them more then a sword or knife. There claws were poisoned with acid.

Kylar growled and roared a little at the test subject, then said," Your prize is gone boy. Give up and go home to your creators." Kylar turned his head, his ears going flat as more turics showed up. Kylar barked, not happy with this. he wanted to kill this test subject. He desirved to die. Not like alyx. Alyx still had decency to her. Well, some anyways. In a human way. This one decirved death for trying to kidnap and harming that kid. Kylar narrowed his eyes at the test subject and said," Another day," and quickly picked up his pack and jacket in hi mouth and ran on all fours, right at him. Kylar barrled through him with his enormous strength and knocked him down as he jumped, landing near the top of the wall and used his claws to pull himself the rest of the way. Kylar loked back, and stuck his tongue out at the turics and test subject and jumped the wall, landing in his human form, his injuries recovered. Kylar pulled his pants and a shirt out and put them on, seeing the girl about 35 meters ahead and went to help her. Kylar stopped, then grabbed his jacket and slipped it on with a content sigh. He loved this jacket.

[hotpocket]

Right as Koshka had finally caught up, the dog-prince threw the girl - on the board - over the wall. He didn't really care though for her. There would be other kids to kidnap. Of course, Koshka wouldn't be going with the turics for awhile since this whole event would just make him seem incompetent. Even though they had still succeeded in the mission thanks to the turic capturing the first kid - he just let another kid escape. There was still the dog-prince though. As soon as Koshka had begun charged at the dog-prince after he landed - he was already grabbing onto Koshka's shoulders and hitting him. He was thrown over the dog's head and rolled several feet once he hit the ground.

"Your prize is gone boy. Give up and go home to your creators." was wrong, his prize was still standing in-front of him. "Another day,", and with that the dog-prince left and his previous statement had become the truth. Right after the dog-prince jumped over the wall, he stood up and also tried jumping over it in pursuit but he failed right before he hit the top and ended up falling to the ground on his back. Apparently "Cats always land on all fours" only applied to cats and not caracals.

As he laid on the ground he could feel a burning sensation on his face where he was cut and on several other parts of his body. He didn't know that the claws of the dog-prince had been toxic, but that was the only conclusion he could come to since it only burned where he was cut. He must not have felt it before from the adrenaline. He tried standing up but fell backwards to the ground once he was half-way up. He felt another rib break. It must have been on the verge of breaking if it broke just from trying to stand up. He didn't want to know what else was that close to breaking.

Several turics armed with fancy-looking lazer guns showed up. They all jumped over the wall in pursuit of the dog-prince; Koshka wasn't important. He doubted that the turics who jumped over the wall would find the dog-prince. He really wanted to go after the dog too. He might have been able to find him despite which form he's in since he knew what he smelled like. There was no way he could fight though. Even when he was at his full strength he was getting dominated. After several more minutes of laying in pain on the ground, a large hover car showed up and two humans in lab coats and a turic got out and put him on a stretcher of sorts then placed him inside of the hover car to take him back to the Academy.

He hated himself at the moment. He let two targets escape. One of them was the werewolf prince. Even if his superiors knew the difference in power between them, he'd still get severely punished for losing. That's alright though. It was his fault for losing anyways. He'd gladly accept the punishment that he deserved. He was wondering for a bit as to why the dog-prince didn't kill him. He came to the conclusion that it must have been that he wanted to escape from the area and get away from the incoming turics.

Upon arriving at the Academy, the two humans helped Koshka out and took him down to Level 2 so that they could begin "repairing" him. That's what he called it anyways. After several hours of being in the infirmary he was debriefed and released to his room. When he had finally finished limping to his cell on Level 3, his entire body was sore. As soon as he got inside he collapsed onto his bed. He started falling asleep but then a turic walked into his room and closed the door behind it. It was punishment time. Since he had still completed the mission he had set out to do, the punishment wouldn't even be half as bad as what the dog-prince had done to him. It would almost be half as bad though. He'll have to go to the infirmary again whenever he wakes up after his punishment...

OOC: And with that, Koshka 22 is done with this thread. Good fight, for you anyways xD.
