PLOT POINT: Invasion
The journey had good so far, they had started early that morning, as the sun was rising up in to the sky, they went further and further in to unknown. After traveling for about two miles, they had struck up an interesting conversation on Hunting Strategies, as Aurora was about to rebuttal one of Naasir's ideas, she heard something, and shushed them. All six of them dropped down on to their bellies, ears straining to hear whatever she heard.
Aurora crept forward, over a small hill, glad they were down wind, and suddenly, the scent filled her nostrils, looking over her shoulder she smiled, " You smell that? " She whispered, before looking over the hill, there, stood a large herd of Water Buffalo. A small excited trill filled her throat, and she looked at her team, " The Buffalo are migrating, that means the Rainy season is coming, and best of all, food. " Motioning to the herd, she started to set out a plan, they would go for a simple routine, funnel them, using all six members, down the hill, in to the two mile stretch, forcing them to run straight in to the Pride lands. Even if they didn't take the whole herd, some would suffice. She knew back home, hungry bellies would put all the Lions on alert for the stampede, " Does everyone understand? " When she saw all the nods, they ran sneakily around the herd, breaking in to groups of three each.
However, things didn't go as planned, the Water Buffalo must have smelled one of them coming, because the herd ran in the opposite direction, annoyed, Aurora tried to call off the hunt, " It's no use! The spooked creatures won't cooperate, we'll try again in a few hours! " But Swetse, and Naasir were gaining on a straggler, almost like a masterpiece being painted, together they brought down the Buffalo, Swetse had a hold of it's back end, making it drag him, and Naasir went for the throat. Slowly, they pulled it down, Naasir suffocated the creature, crushing it's windpipe until no breath could enter, or exit.
Once it was on the ground, the two males, panting, made a chuffing/barking sound. This was almost a victory call, causing the rest of the team to scamper in. They hadn't seen fresh meat in almost two weeks, the fire had killed it all. They were feeding off of left overs from stored foods, so it's not surprising that everyone began to eat. After a few bites, Aurora stopped herself, sitting up to look around, " Something isn't right... "
Swetse took this moment to regain himself, looking to Aurora for an order, she nodded to him, " Go make a small Patrol around us, I have a bad feeling, Natsumi, can you go with him. " At this moment Natsumi stood, nodding her head, following Swetse in a big circle around the kill, without much warning, Aurora's ears rung with the sound of battle. She turned in horror, running blindly, as two Lionesses approached, and jumped on Natsumi, Swetse trying to rush in to fight off the invaders.

Aurora just ran forward, shouting, " This is our kill! Have you no honor?! "

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
"This is our kill! Have you no honor?!"
The call rang in Naasir's head like a thunderclap. Adrenaline already pumping, he yanked his head from the buffalo, only to see Natsumi attacked by two strange lionesses. Alpha Aurora was running madly to help her, but her swollen belly seemed to slow her down a bit. Naasir roared in fury. How DARE they attack his comrades, his family? Especially when they were outnumbered... a chilling realization cleared his head a bit, and the lion bolted after Alpha, yelling with all his might,
"It's a trap! Alpha wait, there are more of them!" Starpride help us he thought, still running. Bloodlust was creeping into his system, turning his vision red. A third lioness was running to intersect Aurora, but Naasir was faster. Leaping into the air, he felt his paws catch fire just as he tackled the enemy, sending them both to the ground.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
The ambush took Natsumi by surprise, hear the other lionesses roar made her instantly crouch and turn. The Tallion gave her mightiest roar, a close rival to a crack of thunder, in hopes that it would deter her attackers. It made no apparent effect as they closed in on her, throwing her to the ground. She made efforts to kick at the lionesses with her hooves, and to bite and claw them, she even tried to drive her neck horns into them when ever the chance came. She heard her Queen yell and knew she'd try and help.
"NOO!! Stay Back Aurora!" Natsumi roared almost ferociously as she attempted to throw one of the lionesses off her. "Swetse! Protect Aurora!" She demanded, she could handle these two long enough for him to get the Queen away from here.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Aurora was scared, she had never been a fighter, always trying to make peace with every creature she had ever encountered. Most of the time, she had taken a back seat when something attacked, Nadra usually jumped in to battle happily. Adwin-Badru was her second body guard, happily defending her honor at the drop of a single bad word. But now, she was on her own, Nadra was home dealing with Life Tree, finding food for the Pride while they were gone. Her loving mate was curled up in the Healer's den under Sauda and Abrihet's healing paws.
She saw the third Lioness try to cut her off, but before she could react, Naasir jumped on her, sending the two sprawling on the ground. She gave a fearful gaze as he burst in to flame attacks, his paws giving him an advantage, these Lions have probably never seen such creatures like them before. She raced by, sending a prayer for Naasir to Star Pride, Please watch over Naasir, protect him, and guide him to the right actions.. She darted between the crowd around Natsumi, and Shange, lunging for the Lioness in the back, her heart raced with time, but at this moment, it stopped. She floated through the air toward Ivy, her deep blue eyes pleading her body and spirit to hold in there, Star Pride... give me strength... She connected with a heavy thud, the two rose up on their haunches, and battered each other, time had caught up, everything moved so quickly. Her opponent was around her size, and she was an older female.
(( Original can be found here: http://wolvenremorse.deviantart.com/art/Ambushed-Aurora-vs-Ivy-214684238 ))
She winced at every blow, giving as good as she got, but tears formed in her eyes, the pain was incredible, Ivy's claws were so sharp, much sharper then the Hyenas she was used to tangling with. She knew she was going to be out matched, but maybe, just maybe, this would scare the opponents off, " Misfits, Attack! Defend our ability to gather food! They don't own the prey!! " At this moment, Ivy's paw connected with Aurora's muzzle, slicing her across the mouth. She visibly stiffened, shaking her head free from the stream of blood, and in return, scratched her across the eye, roaring in defiance. But in her head, she was silently talking to herself, What a nightmare, this wasn't supposed to happen to us, we were supposed to find food, and return to our home like nothing had happened! She woefully echoed in her own mind, tears of fear, and pain glossing over her eyes.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Swetse was taken by surprise, this attack was not supposed to happen. Swetse batted his paws at a lioness, blue electric sparks flying off in warning, he would not attack until they did first, "Stay away from our kill..." He was so hungry the ache in his belly fueled him, but then he heard Natsumi's calls.
"Swetse! Protect Aurora!"
His head swung away from the lioness who had her eyes on him as he bolted for where Aurora was fending off another. "Aurora dodge!!" He shouted hoping she would move slightly too allow him full force onto this other lioness.
Nuru stayed by the buffalo, right now that was the most important thing for her to do. Everyone else had ran into the fray, there was only her and Hakim. "Hakim if we stay by the kill we can be prepared if one breaks out of the battle and heads straight for this buffalo..." Nuru thought it the best idea, right now there weren't too many, and at least they were ready and coiled for an attack.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
"Swetse! Protect Aurora!"
Hearing this Hakim's snapped towards where his mother fought off another lioness. Anger welled up in him like a volcano exploding. Did the other lion not see his mother was carrying cubs. Unfortunately, his young adult brain didn't hear Nuru's words, he was too angry, and brash to stay out of the fray. He wasted no time he carefully circled around the two lions so that he was in direct line with the unfamiliar female. Just as Swetse shouted for Aurora to dodge, he crouched and launched himself through the air tackling the Ivy away from his mother with a furious roar like none had ever heard him make. "Swetse get my mother away from here!" he ordered just as Ivy's paw came up and slashed him right along the left side of his face. Letting out an enraged roar he felt himself lose it. Digging his teeth into the females shoulder he kicked out, trying to claw at her soft under belly as they rolled. He was small for a male but he was still powerful. After a few minutes fighting he managed to pin Ivy down, a paw on the back of her neck while he pressed his weight down on her. Blood was now crusting over his swollen left eye. He hoped it would not be damaged to badly but some how he didn't think that luck was on his side.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Natsumi tangled with the lioness, kicking with powerful hooves that could brake bones if hit in the right place, Clawing with sharp claws and biting with sharp teeth. Yet no matter how much she fought she wasn't seeming to make progress. The lioness was powerful, but she was still a Lioness. Natsumi had been a fighter all her life, she had a few tricks left. The tallion rolled herself on her paws and crouched allowing the lioness to latch hold of her back. Natsumi's horns protected the back of her neck so she didnt have to worry about that. With the lioness on her back and still biting and clawing, Natsumi reared up on her hooves letting out another loud roar. she came down and began bucking and rearing wildly like a horse. She ran in circles and stopped quickly bringing her horns up to hit the lioness if she didnt react fast enough. When Natsumi thought the lioness had had enough of being tossed about she jumped, rolled, and slammed her back and the lioness on the ground. With the slam knocking the wind out of the attacker, Natsumi got to her paws and hooves. She shook the dizziness away and stumbled a bit but quickly regained herself. If one looked close enough they would see that her wounds were already healing, even the worst gash would be healed in an hour or so. She looked back at the lioness she had tossed about, placing a clawed paw on the her neck and holding her down for now. She wouldn't kill her, not without orders from her queen.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Tit for Tat, the two Lionesses held in there, battering each other like their lives depended on it. However, there came a moment where Aurora was losing steam, her belly was holding her back, once again. Dropping out of the lock, they circled each other, Aurora was panting, licking the blood from her mouth, Ivy seemed like she could fight another round, and launched for her, she tensed her muscles, ready to coil again. However, Swetse jumped in front of Aurora, putting his own safety at risk just to give the Alpha time to regain her strength.
Her son, Hakim, leaped on Ivy, the two tangling now. Aurora's heart swelled with emotion, " Hakim! No! She's too experienced! " She called lightly over Swetse's shoulder as her herded her back to the kill. Aurora moved, limping a bit, back to the kill, to stand beside Nuru, " Swetse, don't cub sit me... There are far better things you could be doing right now... " Tears rolled down her cheek fur, " We can't retreat, our Pride will die without this prey, we have to fight on, until they retreat, or end up dead... "

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Hakim ignored his mothers words of warning and keep Ivy pinned. He was still angry but at least he kept his head and realized he couldn't kill her with out his mothers permission. Ivy struggled under him and he pressed his paw down harder on her neck making her whimper slightly. "Quit moving, and I wont have to hurt you so much", he warned and looked over at his mother. He didn't look proud but he was cautious and patient for her decision. He agreed with her they would either have to fight till the rival lions retreated or kill them. He hoped they wouldn't have to come to the second choice of the two.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Naasir and the lioness jumped apart, facing off. The fire in his paws was slowly creeping up his legs, and if he didn't stop it soon, it would engulf his whole body. He glared at the intruder, growling "You have no right to that kill! We took it down, it is ours by right. Are you nothing but mangy hyenas?"
"I could ask the same of you, cub." she spat back, though her gaze was drifting warily to the fire. "You hunt on enemy territory, and expect a welcome?"
(( Much bigger Original can be found here: So Not Fair... by ~ECMD on deviantART ))
Naasir roared, lunging at her. They went to the ground, and she let out a yelp of surprise as the fire burned her pelt. As they clawed and bit each other, the flames caught, and then the enemy lioness was on fire. She writhed on the ground, screaming in pain. Naasir came out of his battle frenzy, and looked on in horror. Memories of the poor souls caught in the brush fire leaped to the forefront of his mind, sending him into a panick.
"Help, somebody help! I can't put it out." He looked around wildly, spotting Swetse, but he was occupied trying to help Natsumi, and Hakim, who had pinned another lioness. Was there no one who could help him? Then his eyes locked on Nuru, who was standing by their kill. He shouted to the other fire wielding cat, "Nuru, please! It's killing her, and I can't make it stop." All he had wanted was to scare her off, not kill anyone. Images of his father's leering smile as he took out a rival rogue right in front of his week-old son flashed, sent him reeling. I am not my father! he thought vehemently. Hoping desperately that there was a way to stop the fire before it was too late...

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
"But Aurora what is our pride without you?" He questioned her back, "We can find more food, but we can't find another one of you..." He sighed, but she was right, the numbers of opposing lions were growing, and he had too keep them back from the prey, and now Aurora. It was actually smart for her to stay near the prey, now only one area to protect, not two. "I'm going into the fray," He said turning back to Aurora, after scanning the situation, "Please stay with the buffalo, at least if you stay here we can protect both of you at once. Once the others begin to retreat, which they will, I will come back and help heal your wounds." He turned, his paws lighting electric sparks, and leapt into battle.
Nuru was protecting the Buffalo, and since Hakim had left her she had no choice but to stay here, and ready herself. Her paws lit with flame, as she watched Swetse leave Aurora, then she heard it Naasirs frightened screams. Nuru's eyes found him and the burning lioness, after all they'd just been through it was something they really didn't need too see, but it was easily done, something she used to do herself very frequently, many a burnt meal. "Aurora I'll return soon." As she ran up to Naasir, her cheetah legs making her move faster than the others, "Jump on her!!" She called to him. "It's the only way. It may sound cruel, but if you can save that's the only way."

Naasir vaguely registered Nuru's calm and sure instructions. He, the level-headed, relaxed warrior was panicking. But he did as he was told, leaping on top of the bigger lioness. Trying desperately to hold her down. She was roaring in pain, and doing all she could to get away from him, but his adrenaline had kicked in, and he kept her in place. The panic was receding a little now, and he looked to Nuru for what to do next.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
As soon as Naasir jumped on the lioness Nuru turned and began kicking dirt on her, trying to douse the fire without water. "You need to strangle the fire Naasir! Try not to give it air. Roll her around." This may have looked so very silly to others, but Nuru knew this was the only way.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
She listened to Swetse's words, her heart sank, he was right, she was their Leader. Despite what her mind told her, she was in safe company with her group. Loyal, fierce, and strong. They wouldn't allow such disrespect run rampant, no tiny group of Lions, normal Lions at that, were going to take their Prey, " Show them what they've unleashed, Misfits! " She roared angrily from beside the Buffalo.
Aurora limped around the buffalo, pacing as best as she could. She was afraid for her Pride, she didn't want to tell them to retreat, the Misfit Pride was here first, she remembered walking this land seven rainy seasons ago, back then, no one was here. They had a right to the kill, they were living in this land first, neighbors had to abide by that honor code. But she froze for a second... What if they were here first? What if she completely missed them seven years ago? They did come from the Marsh, and she didn't dare walk that far over. She felt terror in her heart, was there any honor to it at all? Yes, they brought down the buffalo, but was it rightfully theirs? Because it was killed on enemy soil, does that make it enemy food?
She warily watched the Lioness on fire, and Nuru helping Naasir put the Lioness out. They looked silly, and part of her was going to tell them to leave her, but she knew if the others saw, they might react even more violent towards them. The kill is ours, we killed it, it doesn't matter whose soil it is on, but if they want to fight, we have to prove we are not Zebra foal. She thought to herself slowly, wincing at her wounds, which were now drying, caked blood, and soil stuck in her fur.
(( Check out the much Bigger original, found here: TRM02 - Invasion by *Amritha on deviantART ))
But something caught her ear, a Lioness rushing towards Nuru, roaring loudly, " Intruders! Monsters! Leave! " Monsters?! She called us, Monsters, how dare she call them Monsters! Flash backs from the long journey with Nadra flooded her brain, finding Adwin-Badru battered and injured. When Aurora used to use her powers against normal Pride's to save her life, they would shout the same thing at her. Her heart was filled with hate, and anger, she was blind to their lives now, they no longer were opposing Lionesses, but ignorant creatures, who needed to be turned in to debris on the battlefield, " MONSTERS?! WE ARE NOT THE MONSTERS HERE! "

But something caught her ear, a Lioness rushing towards Nuru, roaring loudly, " Intruders! Monsters! Leave! " Monsters?! She called us, Monsters, how dare she call them Monsters! Flash backs from the long journey with Nadra flooded her brain, finding Adwin-Badru battered and injured. When Aurora used to use her powers against normal Pride's to save her life, they would shout the same thing at her. Her heart was filled with hate, and anger, she was blind to their lives now, they no longer were opposing Lionesses, but ignorant creatures, who needed to be turned in to debris on the battlefield, " MONSTERS?! WE ARE NOT THE MONSTERS HERE! "
Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Naasir batted at the flames, doing as his friend said, smothering them. Eventually they were all put out, and what was left was one burned and angry lioness. But the burns where too much for her to go on fighting, and she fled, yelling to the lioness fighting with Natsumi, "Shange, I can't fight. I have to go back to camp. I suggest an immediate retreat. These lions are not normal ! If we stay and fight we will lose and most likely die. Is that worth one lousy buffalo? She shook her head, then limped away from the rest of the fray. Lions were still duking it out, but first...
"Nuru, thank you. I'm sorry, I couldn't... it was like the fire all over again, and I panicked. It won't happen again." Naasir wasn't one given to losing control or panicking, even in the middle of battle. He felt ashamed at appearing so weak.
But an aggressive roar yanked him out of his reverie. Another lioness was coming at them. Is she crazy? he thought. She must have been, because she went straight for Nuru. Naasir whipped around, slashing at the new threat with his paws. Only claws this time, he didn't want a rerun of what had just happened. If Nuru uses fire, then so will I, he told himself, then proceed to circle the lioness, making a ring around her while Nuru mirrored him on the other side.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
The leopard lifted his paw to land another blow, hissing to the intruder, "You mangy hyenas- oof!" a heavy blow landed on his neck, sending him sprawling. A VERY large male was standing over him, getting ready to swipe at him again with paws well larger than his own. He crouched into a defensive position, getting ready to counter the male's attack.
The blow came, and it sent Naasir flying. Holy Starpride this one is strong he thought, shaking his head. There was no way he could match this new lion with strength alone, so he sighed and resignedly ignited himself again, quickly circling with the male. For a split second he looked over his shoulder to see if Nuru was doing the same.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Nuru followed Naasir's actions, circling the new female. Although another had taken him into battle, at that moment Nuru went for it, she leapt forward to attack the female. The lioness raised as she headed towards her, she streatched out her front right claw landing a blow upon the others face, "What's you're problem?!" Nuru snarled, after the lioness was taken aback, "We have no food!! Can't you see we're desperate!!" She said, hoping to find a good side to this opposing lioness, but it didn't look promising...
Swetse paced, each lion was taken up with another, he was keeping watch, seeing who was struggling, then he saw it, a young plucky male hurtling towards him. Swetse gave the impression he was a young male, by the fact his mane did not grow like a normal lions, but his size and muscle well out-weighed this little one's, Swetse only readied himself to defend. That was his nature, he'd rather defend than insight a new fight. The young male came barrelling forward, leaping full pelt at Swetse, claws unsheathed, Swetse dodged, by bending low to the ground, and knocking him off balance with a small flick of his tail on the male's underbelly. It was obvious he was not up to scratch on his fighting techniques, and Swetse was practically a pro. "You're out of your depths young one." Swetse said standing as he watched the adolescent gain his balance again.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
As the badly burned lioness fled, calling over her shoulder for retreat even though others still came and joined in the fight, Hakim gave Ivy a sharp swipe of his paw on her shoulder before getting off. For a moment he watched her get up and glare at him. She looked as if she were going to fight still but when he growled aggressively and stepped towards her she seemed to think better of it and fled. Once she was gone Hakim made his way slowly to his mother. The slash over his eye had now stopped bleeding, the blood crusting his eye shut. He couldn't see on his right side and with out having training he couldn't fight half blind. "Alpha I am unable to fight" he announced once he got to her side. "I am unable to see and react on my right side and I fear I may be permanently blinded".

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Watching her son move toward her, she felt fear in her heart, seeing his bloodied face. As he spoke to her, she moved as quickly as she could, limping up to lick at his face, trying to clean some of the blood off, " Hakim! I told you not to go! Let the senior warriors handle this! We've had extensive battle training for this. " Worry was thick in her voice as she fussed over his face.
Hearing him say he think he was blind, she felt tears stream from her own eyes, licking to clean the blood, " Don't worry, son, we'll get you home, maybe Swetse could heal the wound, You'll be fine! " She felt a pang of regret, she should have never agreed to letting to her second oldest son join them on this quest. This was foolish! These damn Lions, The true MONSTERS, made this happen. All over a piece of prey. She wept, letting the tears, and blood mingle on her fur, before dripping to the earth, she lowered her head in a bit of defeat, she felt so emotionally, and physically exhausted, " Damn them! DAMN THEM ALL! " She roared from her stance, she hated them, she hated them more then she had ever hated. They reminded her of the struggles she had to face over the years to make Misfit Pride a possibility.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
The lioness writhed under her paws as another called out to it. Natsumi snarled at the one called Shange, "You should listen to your pride mate, Continue this skirmish with us and you might die. We are not here to take your lands, we just need prey." the tallion growled hoping that would give them a bit of leeway with this pride. The lioness kicked at Natsumi's underbelly and writhed some more trying to get free of the bigger feline's grip. The tallion did not falter, she knew no matter how much she hurt, or how bad the wounds got, she would heal sooner or later. Natsumi gave one last roar at Shange and released her. "Leave!!" she roared and nipped at the lioness's rear as it chased after her pride mate in a retreat. With this Natsumi looked around, everyone still had some one to fight, but where was Aurora? The Queen was her main concern, not only did she carry the future of the pride, but she was vital to everyone's survival. There is no way they were returning to the pride without her. The tallion swiveled around until she spotted Aurora pacing around the buffalo, immediately she sprinted towards the Queen. "Aurora! Are you alright?" she called as she came up to the buffalo. It was easy to see that Natsumi looked as bad injury wise as Aurora, only some of hers were half way healed and other healing quicker than they should be.

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Hakim ducked away from his mothers and sighed. "Mother...Alpha, I am part of the pride too and I am in training to be an Alpha's protector. If I cannot stand here and fight to protect you and my pride mates what protector would I be? I would lay down my life for this pride" He replied confidently. Most of the blood had been licked clean off his face but he still was unable to see. Seeing his mother cry and break down he frowned and stepped closer to her, pressing his muzzle into her neck fur. "Mother relax. It's nothing we cant deal with. The other lions are retreating anyways and we can eat and take the herd back to our lands".

Re: PLOT POINT: Invasion
Naasir's paws flared brighter at the insult. He would not let a blow to his honor slide.
"I would fight like a lion, coward, if my enemy acted like one! Take your friends and go, before you all end up pickings for the vultures. I spared your friend, but that is as far as my mercy extends. Leave us to our kill, and we'll be on our way."
He waited for the lion's reply, ready to fight. The lioness fighting Nuru was back to back with his foe, while he and his comrade made a larger circle around the two. If the lion attacked, he would go for his eyes, giving him an advantage over the bigger cat. If he backed down, Naasir would extinguish the flames and search for the rest of his party, seeing who needed to be helped. Judging by the defiant and proud light in the other male's eyes, the latter was unlikely.
Tsavi seems like his personality is very close to Naasir's, I have a hard time slinging insults at someone who has the same noble and loyal intentions as him
