(I just noticed something. I forgot the wings in Wolf's userbar.)
Fight? Like this? The thought of his request made her shudder. She had no idea if she was capable of any of her other fighting abilities in this form, and if video games had taught her anything, staying in one spot was a bad idea. She decided to stick with Control. Maybe she could learn by osmosis; watching him and Tara fight and mimicking their moves. Tara was used to fighting like a hedgehog; she wasn't; and Control is a mercenary for G.U.N. Surely he knows how to fight. She squeaked and nervously nodded, following Wolf, shaky-kneed down the hill.
(Did anyone catch the L4D reference? Horde! Horde!)

(You forgot the wings? Shame on you! And yes, I got the reference)
Wolf nodded to both of them, not bothering to argue with Tara, and lead the way. They passed several trees and when they climbed up another hill they could see what had been hidden from them before. "Gods..." Wolf hissed quietly.
In the open clearing ahead of them were people, lots of them, laying on the ground not moving. It was like... They had all just decided to collapse. There must have been twenty to thirty of them. Standing in the center of the unmoving gathering was... Well the only being in that area no laying down. A light green Echidna wearing dark black robes. He had long hair quills that got much darker at the tips, they also covered his right eye from view. His eye that could be seen was get black with a red glowing pupil looking over the bodies surrounding him. On his forehead was a tattoo that resembled crossbones. His right arm, like his right eye, was hidden but instead by the long 'cape' folds of his robe. He wore a deep red colored shoulder pad on his left arm, and a red glove. He was holding a deadly looking scythe in that hand, the weapon taller than he was.
He was hardly moving, looking from body to body was the only movement.

Tara eyed the strange creature. Gods.... That word made her cringe. She had lost any faith in the belief in higher powers long back and had simply made up her own. Hearing confirmation of their existance never sat well with her. However she couldn't deny that the world of a hedgehog was much different than how it had been when she was a human. She narrowed her eyes and hissed between her clenched teeth. Her fangs stuck out from between her lips, demanding she fight. Still she balled her talon-like hands into fists and waited. Better to be observant than die due to rash actions.

(The hilarious thing is YOU didn't notice until I brought it up. xD)
She whimpered, crouching into a defensive position and backing off. Unsure of her skills, she didn't want to take any chances.

Almost as if he heard Tearany's whimpering, the being's one eye turned to look up right at the three of them. Slowly his whole body turned to follow the eye. The butt of his scythe dragging along in the dirt, it glinted in the pale light filtering through the trees.
Wolf took a step back, he could feel something within himself stir when that gaze fell upon them, there was something very wrong... And familiar with it. His other half was waking up, he held onto control.
Slowly the robed Echidna walked towards them, as he went the grass he stepped over died, leaving a dark trail behind him. His eye was on this group, not even paying attention to any other group of onlookers around him, just this one.

Tara felt her feet slide beneath her to place herself into a position she could spring out of. Her eyes narrowed. This being's gaze held her in its vastness and she felt herself unable to escape properly. She could only slightly shift her body. "...It's looking at us."

Tearany dug her fingers and the toes of her shoes into the dirt, squatting on all fours. She looked to her left and to her right. Seeing Control and Tara beside her calmed her nerves, she felt safer with friends. Struggling to sound out words, she said "Why...is it afff-ter us?"

"Who knows...? I sure don't. I've never seen it before," Tara replied. Her face was serious, the only hint of emotion being a tiny tremble just behind her words. The prospect of a fight managed to happily mess with her hunter instincts, ones so kindly placed there by the process of being bitten by a Mobian Vampire. Painful yes, useless... perhaps not. Not in this case it seemed. It suppressed adrenaline quite well.

Wolf shifted on his feet, flexing his claws. "Whatever it is..." He had a feeling he knew what it was, but he wasn't going to reveal anything to them just yet. "It's killed all those people, and I don't think we can just let it kill more."

"Shoould we...g-go afffter it?" She said slowly, coughing on the 'l' in 'should'.
(We need some ACTION, dangit! No more silly banter!)

"We won't need too, it's headed for us."
The green Echidna then jumped, passing a great distance and landing right infront of the group. His scythe spun in his hand like a baton before he swung it at them in a wide arc that threatened to hit all three of them.
Control backflipped out of the way, his wings snapping wide to beat and give him an extra boost of distance away from the creature.

Already on the ground, Tearany ducked, pressing flat against the ground.

Tara dodged to the side with a quick spring. She was a blur in her movements as she jumped up and extended a leg. She could only hope the kick would land. Her eyes burned a brighter shade of orange as she called upon her Mobian Vampire traits for assistance. This fight would be tough.

The echidna took the blow but the only result was being pushed back a step. He slammed the butt of his staff into the ground hard and his eye flashed. "Your souls are stronger than that of these mortals. Stand down so that I may absorb your essense and become something far more worthy of greatness."

"Yoou...waant too...'abssort our esssence'? Thatss..." Cough cough. "Dishgusting." She said angrily, but very slowly. Still on the ground, she retreated a few steps.
