Welcome to Gaia! ::

Water was good. Normally the watering hole had alot of animals, but today it was suspiciously quiet, so Kabichi had brought Legeti over for some water and sun. The pup, however, was distracted by his tail at this point, thirst quenched, while Kabichi was flopped on a warm rock watching.

Angaza was paching again. This time he'd been less interested in sneaking off, and more in his stomach. The hyena trotted along his route, sniffing occasionally, when he looked up, and grinned. Oh, what luck the gods brought HIM this fine morn! There was a lion cub he'd stalked before, and with an appetizer! Maybe he should make good on his word...

Stalking through the grass, little brown ears perked forward. The target was spotted... Sighted... And pounce! With a mock-roar, Mut launched from the grass at Kabichi, foretoes spread out though claws not extended. Play time! Mut, in all her joy, noticed not the danger that lurked near by.

Lounging under a bush to keep cool, Schatz perked up an ear at the mock-roar. A grin spread. A cub. Rising from under her shade, the juvenile hyena looked around and spied not one but two cubs, and the appetizer. And another cub... And... Oh, great, a lion. But it was just one lioness... There were two hyenas... And three cubs. The young hyena moved closer, a grin present on her face.

And another cub? Tia growled low in her throat. She couldn't walk away now. "Stay behind me, Aden," she cautioned quietly, eyes riveted on the bigger of the two hyenas. The smaller one was only as big as Aden, but the large male could easily kill a lion cub. She'd have to focus on him.

Aden growled louder now at seeing the hyenas move in. He ignored his mother's warning and lept out from under her legs, fur puffed up and hissing like a steam engine. "Leave them alone!" he shouted in a manner he imagined to be menancing. "Or.. or I'll fight you!"

Sigh. Always the stupid little thing.. or brave, same thing really. Tia took a few long stride forward and stood over her son again, a challenging look on her face. "No one wants a fight," she said quietly, eyes narrowing. "So I would appreciate it if you two would just take your drinks and leave. We are from the Pridelands, and they don't take kindly to having their members bullied."

Both eaqrs pricked as cub and pup watched Mut, and Kabichi looked around, nose twitching, then her ears flattened as she saw black.

EVIL FURRY BITEY THINGS.

And Kabi grabbed Legeti by the ruff, turned, and bolted after Mut, a confused Legeti in her jaws.

Angaza smirked. Oh! Fun! And then the female lioness spoke to him, and he turned, cooly. Did he ALWAYS have to explain?

"Lady, mind your own business. It's not MY fault if parents can't keep their kids in line... Food chain, you know... Survival of the fittest. So beat it."

And he turned to trot after the two cubs and the pup. Mmm. Food!

Another cackle escaped the juvenile hyena. "Oh, you're SO tough!" Her grin turned into a scowl. "And so STUPID." Bunching her muscles, she charged at the juvenile lion, claws at ready, teeth beared to tear.

Blood, everywhere... Mut whimpered, trying to hide herself even more. The roar frightened her, brought up memories. Fighting... It scared her, she hated it. It was bad, it was wrong, it was... It was so many things she did not like.

Looking up from where he was lounging, Danzi perked his ears. A roar? An angry roar. In a swift move, he was on his paws and trotting towards it. The winds shifted. Scents filled his nose. Mut, Kabichi, the paler cub's little friend... A lioness, her son... And hyenas. Ears back, the male let out a deep roar, charging towards the scuffling. Hyenas were NOT crossing into his pride's territory again, not on HIS watch! Ahadi help him, he'd kick both the hyena's bums if he had to.

Aden shook slightly at the sight of the small hyena coming towards him. For all this bravado, he'd never actually been in a fight before. He let out a shaky growl and bared his fangs, leaning back onto his hind paws and slashing blindly at the oncoming juvenile with both forepaws, sharp claws extended to their fullest.

Tia looked up at the approaching lion and sighed inwardly. What a relief, someone had heard her! They now outnumbered the hyenas completely...

Her attention snapped back to Angaza as he threw himself at her. She snarled and met his attack with strong swipes of her claws, trying to get close enough to sink her fangs into his fur.

Angaza snarled at the claws connecting with his body, knocked back slightly before he spun to see to new lion.

s**t, THE ORANGE ONE. No matter. And Angaza spun on the female again, biting at whatever he could. He wasn't running off again. That was total bullshite.

Kabichi snuggled closer to Mut herself, starting to whimper. Scary, SCARY evil furry things...

Nope, she still didn't know what a Hyena was.

Legeti, meanwhile, watched, ears pricked. BAD FUZZIES. And he shot out, and tried to...

Bite Schatz's tail. Sheer genius.

Kabichi whined.

Schatz grinned, moving in again, only to find something biting her tail. With a snarl, she whirled around to find the maned wolf pup biting her. A dark paw swatted at it, trying to get it off. Pesky little thing!

Launching at the adult hyena, Danzi let out another roar, claws extending. Blood had been spilt, the blood of a Pridelander. He was NOT a happy lion. Claws flexed, teeth beared, he aimed to slam the attacking filthy beast to the ground. He hoped he'd break a few bones.
