*Kicks Kaz's tail until he flees*
Page is mine.

Claw's fight, then Electrik's, then Acid's. Radium's is last Just to finish it off.

Claw was fighting through a haze of red. He barely saw anything; he sensed and reacted instantly.
This is getting a bit old. Can't I come up with something new?
With an effort he regained control of himself, shaking his head to clear his vision. A moment later he wished he hadn't.
He backpedalled as a large wolf, dark blue with silver eyes, materialized in front of him. He cursed fluently in several languages as the wolf advanced slowly. It was twice his size, armed with a whip made of blue and silver electricity. Claw could imagine Electrik's reaction if he saw that. He didn't want to imagine his own reaction if he made contact with that lash, though.
He noticed that the Kiyrenin had been decimated, with less than half of their original number remainin, and that they no longer crowded him. Obviously they had a healthy respect for the blue wolf. Maybe they'd transfer some of it to him when he killed his lupine enemy.
Unfortunately for his enemy, the whip was a powerful but erratic weapon, as well as slow. It was difficult to control, even for a skilled wielder.
Claw, on the other hand, had complete control over his weaponry - ten razor claws. While the wolf had the reach, whips were useless in close quarters, which was where claws worked best. Claw was also quicker, both in reaction and recovery time. He had a definite advantage.
All of this in a few seconds, as the blue wolf advanced. Claw sidestepped neatly as the whip flicked by, mentally cursing the fact that it was electricity. Had it been the usual type he would have let it wrap around his wrist, immobilizing it, and then attacked.
As it was, the lash left a scorch mark on the wall, reinforcing his decision not to touch it.
Once more the flickering blue and silver whip was drawn back in. Claw noted that the wolf wore gloves that, presumeably, protected him from the charge. That could become problematic later.
The wolf took a step forward, and three to the side. Claw's sharp eyes noted the blade in his boot, but he didn't react. Let the wolf think he had the advantage.
He may be right, too. Unfortunately.
He had to get rid of that whip. Without his primary weapon the wolf would be almost defenseless. For Claw, almost was enough. He backed of, drawing the wolf out and surrepititiously glancing around for Electrik. If anyone could disarm this creature, Electrik could. Claw wasn't even going to try.
As if he had read his mind, Acid's brother appeared out of the crowd behind him. Electrik's eyes lit up when he saw the whip.
"Kallein," he said, and the wolf turned. His silver eyes narrowed when he saw Electrik. "Kallein, you know better," Electrik chided as the whip flicked by. He caught it in his bare hand and held it tightly. Kallein growled and tugged, but he might as well have been trying to move a mountain. For all his slender stature, Electrik was immovable. Kallein flicked the lash back and forth sharply, trying to jerk it out of the blue rabbit's grasp, but Electrik simply wrapped the blue and silver electricity around his wrist and grinned.
Claw took his chance. Ducking under the tightly stretched lash, he came up, claws extended, and attacked. Kallein dropped his whip and made a grab for his bootknife. Claw swatted it out of his hand and slashed the wolf's throat coldbloodedly. Kallein threw back his head and howled his agony before vanishing as quickly as he had come.
Claw turned back to the few remaining Kiyrenin, and saw Electrik experimentally twitch the whip towards a nervous rabbit, who jumped out of the way and retreated. Electrik grinned.
"This could be handy," he commented to Claw gleefully.
"Uh oh, Electrik's found a new toy," Acid said dryly, coming up behind his brother. "Who did he get it from?"
"Kallein," Electrik said happily. "He wanted it back but Claw killed him."
"Kallein? Figures. Knew he was kicking round here somewhere. Oh, don't look now, bro, someone else wants to play too."
Electrik glanced over at where Acid was looking. A sleek, small, blue lizard with enormous yellow eyes was staring at him, making her way over. Electrik shook his had.
"I don't share with girls."
"Tell her that," Claw replied, and he and Acid left Electrik then to his own devices.

Didn't really want to kill Kallein, but it was necessary. Too bad. *sighs*

I claim this page again, to override any pitiful attempt Kaz might make at regaining it. So nya
