Early Winter 7

The sneasels moved quickly around the two, the darkness providing them with the small advantage. Udon and Rush's Eyes wouldn't be able to spot them quite as quickly, and with a 4 to 1 disadvantage Rush was concerned he wouldn't be able to stop them all from charging. He started focusing his senses when the mob rushed them suddenly!

Rush couldn't focus on Udon at the moment as he could make out the gleam of claws and eyes running strait for him. Quickly he brought up his Iron Defense as the Slash hit him hard, but he was quick to recover. He turns and counters with his Bullet Rush, not letting the Slasher get a second step to recover. Rush couldn't tell if they were confident or ignorant, but the Sneasel didn't put up much of a fight. Were they even trained to fight?

Rush decided to test this theory, backing up by two bounds and watched carefully, the sneasel rubbing at his bruises as he growled and swore. His claws balled up into a fist and glowed, an Ice Punch. "Cocky little -!"

Just as he took two steps, Rush had ran in and struck firm on his stomach and, using his aura, unleashed his Force Palm. The Sneasel was blown back a good four feet back through the air as Rush collected himself. His mind left wondering about this forest gang. Shortly he remembers Udon was left fighting off what slashers were left ... were...

The remaining five members were scattered everywhere. Two were tossed i the bushes, one had his head half burried in the ground. Another lying flat on her back, judging from the half feather. The last one was actually stuck up into the tree. Rush was awestruck, but unsurprised, at how Udon fought. Dragon's have always been this terrifyingly ferocious, he thought. Not wanting to fall into the conflict any further then he has, he turned and ran to the flowers, the prize. Quickly he began to tie up the cloth into a neat bag for him to carry back. He chuckled, thinking at how amazed Sunny and the rest of the villagers would look when he brought this haul over.

Just as he got the back over his shoulder, he took only two steps out and yelps as his tail appeared to be caught in some branches. That firmly gripped him, and soon, lifted him up into the air.
