Seeing as Eden had a choice between taking a silver explosive or a silver nitrate bullet, she decided to go with the explosive seeing as it would only cause surface damage. The nitrate bullets would emit silver into her blood stream which would only serve to make her steadily groggier and weaken her performance as well as her mind. That was something she couldn't afford at the moment especially considering Ceon's condition; surface damage, however, was collateral and she could heal it up easily enough. Her reasoning was sound and utterly strategic and calculated. She could take a few hits here and there, a silver explosive wasn't nearly the worst she'd been hit with.
Her stab wound from the silver knife was no longer bleeding freely, in fact, it was practically healed on the exterior. The wound was sealed and it was next to impossible to tell she'd been stabbed to begin with but for the blood that adorned her shoulder. The interior, however, would require more time to heal so if she was to take another well aimed hit there the wound would easily be reopened. The explosive likely wouldn't hit her in the shoulder, however, so she wasn't overly concerned.
A grunt in the form of a growl was emitted from the hunter leader as she took the full force of the explosive. The silver easily seared her flesh, the crackling of her skin audible in a number of places. Her cheeks, her neck, her hands and part of her right thigh. The force from the explosion was enough to knock her to the ground but the hunter leader was quick to recover, using a tree for cover and following Ceon's idea and leaping into the cover of the canopy. A clear shot would be a lot more difficult for the vampires from there.

Rogue leapt into the large tree without hesitation, following Eden and Ceon's movements. She slid the clip out of her gun and slid another clip in. She shot only at Eden's feet as Rogue continued to move after Eden.
She came to a halt as she neared Ceon.
I do apologize for all of this...
She pulled her other gun and shot at his arms to knock him from the tree.

Xander's teeth were gritted as the remaining UV burned whatever it touched. His kevlar vest didn't go down all the way to his hip, and the bullet had hit right below the edge of the vest.
He stood slowly trying to shake off the pain.
He picked up his gun and reloaded. Xander could hear the ruckus Kaei was making in the tree. He moved in close vicinity to where Kaei, Meredith, and Ceon were. About fifteen yards from them, positioned behind a tree, he was close enough to wait for a shot, should one of them fall.

Ceon had no time to react when Rogue shot at his arms, and hot balls of silver cracked through the bones in his forearms, which then proceeded to embed themselves in his thighs. Only a whimper escaped from his throat as the branches gave way under his collapsing figure. He began to fall backwards towards the ground below, his eyes fixated upon Meredith.
In what took only a few seconds seemed like a lifetime for Ceon. Silver and blood followed closely above him and he could feel himself revert back to his naked, human form. Even breathing was painful with all of the silver that had been pumped into him within just 5 minutes. Ceon hit the ground with a thud, eyes half open as he fought to push the stream of silver out of him.

Meredith paid little heed to Rogue's shots at her feet, it was of little concern to her if they managed to make their mark which through the trees was a difficult feat. However, her attention was hastily turned to Ceon as he was hit by Rogue's bullets, falling from the tree. Not only did he fall but he'd sustained enough damage that he was no longer able to maintain his lycan form to continue their fight. She knew if she did nothing he would likely be killed by the vampire elder so she did something uncharacteristic for herself and launched herself at the vampire elder.
Mid launch, through the trees, she'd burst into her lycan form, snarling as she dived toward the elder in the hopes of knocking her out of the tree and pinning her to the ground. If she missed, there was more than enough branches to grab hold of and remain within the tree. Xander was also a target option if she missed. She could continue with the momentum and seize him while he was off guard and hopefully be able to make some form of trade with Rogue if it came down to it. She wasn't going to allow Ceon to die.

R.J was doing his nightly rounds in the city on his motorcycle. He has been part of the Hunters for four years since the attack, but not a lot of the hunters are too keen with a beast in their ranks. It was also ironic that the leader was a lycan as well. Nevertheless, he still protects his home and everyone in it as well.
As he was riding by, he heard the sound of gunshots...and a howl. Immediately, he drove as fast he as can to get to the location. When he got there, he saw two lycans, one unconscious from the silver bullet holes and the other in a fight with vampires. "Captain Meredith!" He pulled out his spiked knuckles, his favorite weapon of choice, and rushed in to aid her leader.

Rogue saw the movement of Meredith out of the corner of her eye...her attention refocused on her as she burst into wolf form in the air. She held both guns at Meredith's face and shot, coming up with two empty clicks. Her clips were empty at the most obnoxious moment.
She dropped the guns instinctively and put her arms up to push at Eden's shoulders, so the snarling teeth wouldn't grab hold of her face. The momentum pushed them off the branch Rogue was on and she tried to brace herself as she flew backwards out of the tree, Eden atop.
They landed with a crack on the ground, and in struggling to get Eden off of her, the lycan's claws raked the left side of her face from jaw to nose. A loud inhuman roar escaped Rogue, and she felt the Sanguinarian in her rise to be let loose. Rogue's eyes flashed bright green.
She gripped at a silver knife at her side and plunged it upwards trying to hit close to Eden's heart...but not trying to hit the mark.
Xandra, now would be a great time...
She spoke into her sister's mind as she tried to stab Eden.

Xandra had been perched in the shadows of a close by tree, waiting and waiting for her elder sister's signal. She had a gun at the ready, and aimed at the lycan atop Kaei.
She aimed from the shadows of a huge oak. Thirty yards from the action, she let lose a reign of higher silver concentrate bullets to Eden's back, careful not to hit Rogue, and careful not to kill Eden. She aimed to sink a few bullets into the thighs to make Eden unable to walk for awhile...they needed her slow and drugged to question her.
Xander, to your right, another hunter...

I seem him, dear sister... his words spoke back into his twin, Xandra's mind.
He kept an eye on Ceon on the ground while unloading a clip towards the new lycan on the scene. The police would be flooding upon the park soon enough, and he knew they all needed to get out of there, regardless of race. The next big thing they all needed was a spot on the nightly news, and their existences fully outed in full view of the public. There were already enough suspicions and people aware of their kind as it was, and the more anyone knew about the moon children, the undead, the tainted...the more vulnerable they all were to extinction.

"Whoa!" R.J. ducked behind one of the trees to avoid the bullets. "s**t, now there's three?" He had think quickly to save Meredith for it seemed the two vampires were ganging up on her. R.J channeled the beast within him to knock the tree down next to the male vampire. "Get the hell away from her!" Using his double pistols, he opened fire at the new vampire. This is bad, something's not right

Like a small child, Ceon inched his way towards a nearby tree using his legs. He worked his way up the tree until he was on his feet, though the bark scraped at his back. His arms were useless while the bones slowly pieced themselves back together, and every few seconds he would vomit blood and silver upon the once green grass. With a grunt, the bullets buried in his thighs popped out and into the pools of bile in front of his feet. With a deep breath, Ceon started limping towards the battle again. He wanted to tear the head off of the male vampire that pumped him full of nitrate.

Meredith was swift enough to reflexively take hold of Rogue's arm as she attempted to plunge the dagger upwards into what she assumed was her heart. The lycan likely would have tried a show of brute strength against the elder, bending her arm backwards in order to force her own knife against her throat, but that was the moment she was pumped full of highly silver concentrated bullets. Some of the bullets were traveling fast enough to rip clean through her thighs and out the other side, others, however, embedded themselves within her legs.
That was when she registered R.J's call as he made his way toward her in order to assist. She didn't know him extremely well, she didn't bother to get close to people any longer, however, she did know he was a lycan hunter and that she had stood up for him on a couple different occasions. The one vice of having diversity among hunters was that the supernatural ones were often revered with suspicion or even discriminated against. It was her job as the leader to quell such incidents and assure her hunters were working together as opposed to against one another.
As the bullets hit her, a monstrous roar of her own was emitted from the chasm of her throat. The high concentration of silver was enough to sear through her skin almost as though it were butter at the speed in which the projectile bullets had been fired. Her legs, where the bullets had traveled clean through them, were bleeding openly while the internal wounds that still housed bullets were deepening. Her body's effort to regulate her blood flow and keep her alive was progressively being dulled by the effects of the bullets and the longer they remained within her the less effective her healing would be.

As Meredith pushed back against her arm, she felt the challenge. This isn't the time for games...focus... Rogue held her arm there a split second more until the bullets hit their target. With a swift movement, she slammed her hand upwards into Meredith's jaw. Rogue then tried to slam the daggar into the muscle between Meredith's neck and shoulder, right behind the collar bone.
She only needed a small moment to inject Eden with a new cocktail tranquilizer, specially made for lycans. A large dose of silver nitrate and just the right mix of drugs made for one not so polite hangover after a few hours.

She loaded another clip into her gun and pulled another from her back holster. She needed to give her sister, Kaei, one more moment. She shot off a few more silver nitrate bullets then moved with vampiric speed and grace to the other side of the large oak, evading the shots from the new lycan on the scene.
She had heard the tree crack beside her brother, Xander, and out of the corner of her vision she saw Ceon moving towards the tree.
Xander, the lycan that was down...make sure he stays down. The fresh meat is mine...
She climbed the tree swiftly to be a tougher target for the newcomer and shot from behind it aiming carefully, yet quickly.

The tree beside him cracked and he moved his position. He saw the new lycan start to fire at his sister. An involuntary growl grew in his throat and he shot at R.J. from twenty yards away.
Within a moment he heard Xandra's confident voice in his mind. I suppose you can have a little fun, tonight...
He shifted his gaze and focus to Ceon. The lycan was trying to eradicate himself of the silver nitrate. Ceon was starting to come towards him. He raised his gun and pulled off a few bullets, anticipating where Ceon would move to.
He, too was waiting for his chance to sink the new tranquilizer put out by the Deathdealers full of silver nitrate with other drugs, specific to the lycan anatomy.
