Rogue's charge had been brash and direct, and as expected, his opponent jumped out of harm's way before he could make full contact with her. His shoulder brushed against his opponent and then he was alongside her in close proximity. The woman turned towards him and Rogue was too close to avoid the incoming attack, feeling her claws rake down his thigh with a stinging burn. Rogue winced and grit his teeth against the pain, then turned with jaws open aiming to grab at the woman's back left leg. He sought to wrap his jaws around her leg and pull with all his might to try and yank her to the ground while pushing his weight in towards her with his side like a sumo wrestler trying to shove his opponent down.

"Rogue Klein"

She had succeeded in her first fight, and within moments he had finally arrived. Sephiran emerged from the shadows, charging at her with intensity and with obvious intent to harm. With barely a moment to spare, Medusa dipped to his left, his body glancing off hers and his swinging knife cutting a bit of her muzzle as she swings her head towards his neck, jaws open as she sought to grab, grip, and lacerate the tender flesh there. She hasn't come with intention of such a vicious raid but Syndicate had set the tone and she would do the same.

Flare huffed a soft laugh, realising he recognised this pup as well. He had tossed him to the elephant as a decoy, expandable. But the boy had thrived, and lived. Now here he was, a fighter in the Insomnia raid. Funny how life worked out sometimes. He let the red wolf shove him, loosening his grip on Wade’s knife so the boy could free it.

As soon as Wade was able to move, Flare lunged at him, attempting to grab him around the neck with his elongated fangs in the same instance that Wade attempted to move around him. The quickest wolf among them would succeed in their attack.

Lukina's claws found their mark, tracing red trails down the man's thigh. With her weight on her left front paw she tried to kick off hard with her hind legs so she could pivot around to face the man perpendicularly. However, as she did so she did not move fast enough to get her hind limbs out of range of his fangs. She winced as his teeth tore open her skin across the front of her left hind leg, just below the knee. Thankfully, due to her motion she was able to avoid getting caught in his grip but it was a reminder to keep on her toes against a younger opponent. Her own fangs lashed out as she leapt for the man, fangs seeking to dig into his back just in front of his hips while her outstretched arms sought to wrap around his waist, claws out seeking any available purchase.

The moment she felt Redrum’s teeth graze her nape, Absinth twisted, forcing her jaw sideways with a calculated snap. Her knife followed the motion, slipping between his helm and his jaw with precision and lethal intent. She felt the blade bite deep, carving a line across his face that split the flesh just enough to mark him with the beginning of a smile—a cruel half-smirk that would haunt him every time he saw his reflection. Her gaze remained steady, meeting his flickering, furious eyes without a hint of fear. Eat that, shithead.

Her lips pulled back in a mirthless grin, satisfaction curling in her chest as his blood warmed the hilt of her blade and slipped down her lips. Her stance was unwavering, cold and calculating as ever, her emerald gaze sparkling with dark glee.

But the moment was short-lived. With a guttural snarl, he shoved her back, the force of it sending her skidding across the ground. She braced herself, her muscles tensing, ready to anticipate his next move, but the look in his eyes had shifted. The feral gleam was gone, replaced by something darker—something unrestrained. She recognized that look—it was the same unchecked rage she’d seen before, the same kind of fire she’d always enjoyed igniting. Like a certain fiery brute she knew intimately. Absinth’s grin only widened, finding a strange satisfaction in the knowledge that she had driven him there, which made the victory that much sweeter.

And really, what fun was there in making him snap if she didn’t enjoy it a bit longer? She could always lose him whenever she wanted. Laughing softly, she gave him a taunting look, daring him to give chase. Without another thought, she turned and sprinted into the thick brush, weaving through the trees as she heard his heavy footsteps thundering after her.


"Absinth Artemisia Inferos"

The moment he felt the blade slide under his jaw, splitting his cheek, the pain flared sharp and white-hot, searing through his senses. His breath hitched, and he tasted the bitter, metallic tang of his own blood pooling in his mouth, narrowly missing his tongue. His lips curled back, and a low, guttural growl escaped his throat as he felt her it—that jagged, mocking slice—as if it were burning into his skin.

Rage overflowed within him, twisting into something darker, more feral. The pain only fueled the consuming anger that flared in his chest, smothering his reason and gnawing at his control. He didn’t think; he reacted, shoving her back with every ounce of strength he had, watching with a strange, detached satisfaction as her body stumbled away from him. But it wasn’t enough to quell the inferno inside him. Every nerve in his body screamed for violence, for the satisfaction of rending that grin from her lips.

The edges of his vision blurred, the yowling of that distant feline coming stronger and stronger until it was in his ears, until it was him. It swallowed him. His muscles spasmed, twitching as he could no longer maintain his careful suppression. The world around him faded, narrowing until there was only the scent of blood—his blood—and the gnawing, insatiable hunger for vengeance. His breath grew ragged, his heartbeat loud in his ears as he felt the last threads of his control unravel. And then, as if sensing it, she turned and dashed off into the brush, her laugh echoing, taunting him to follow. All he saw was red.

A feral growl rumbled in his chest as he barreled forward, all reason consumed by the need to catch her, to end that laughter with the weight of his jaws around her throat. The forest blurred around him as he surged after her, that single-minded purpose driving him into the darkness, toward her fleeing form, each step sinking him deeper into a void he couldn’t pull back from.


"Murder"

The pale pink man is able to claim victory in his fight with the monochrome woman and he offers her a smile as she retreats away. Bright blue eyes scan the battlefield and land on a vicious male that has just sent the red man packing. Taking a deep breath, he kicks off, rushing toward the Syndicate wolf without any warning. As he nears the shorter male, he attempts to smack into the stranger, full force, in the hopes of skewering him with the antlers on his chest piece. Neck tucks as he seeks to protect the underside of his throat while also bringing his bear skull helmet down to deter the stranger from attacking his face. A snarl rolls past his pale lips as he goes.

"Enki Klein"

Blood fills his mouth as he leaves his mark on the skin of the red man and a smile pulls his blood covered lips upward. No sooner had his first opponent retreated than a pink man is charging toward him, head covered with a bear skull and lowered as if he seeks to be a battering ram.

Since it seems the stranger has no intention of slowing down, Ezekiel quickly gathers that the pink man is trying to impale him on the antlers that curve out from his chest armor.

Spinning to face the stranger, a wild grin on his bloody lips, Zeke sidesteps the brunt of the attack. One leg shoots out to try and entangle one of the other male’s long legs, hoping to trip him and send the man careening to the ground. At the same moment, he lashes out, attempting to grab ahold of at side of the stranger’s neck and help him find the ground that much easier.
