Far from Fairhaven the forest is quite dense, only a trail here and there showing where the local ferals mostly pass.

A young looking tiger is already waiting in a small clearing, that has been selected as the meeting point. Clad in a red shirt and some jeans, he looks around nervously, hoping the others will arrive soon.

Seguro

Meanwhile Nekura is on her way to the gathering zone after hearing they were looking for volunteers. After not getting to do anything in a while the Nightmare naturally decided she needed to get out a bit though she can't help but squint a bit at seeing all the others already here.

A large twelve foot dragon with golden glowing scales touches down nearby, shi is clad in a black suit of slandered issue Zephyr heavy combat armor, adorned upon hir back is several medial packs, and a heavy grenade launcher, hanging from Seguro's waist is a small stun baton. Yawning the golden scaled dragon awaits for the rest of hir team, recovering hir breath after a long flight.

Panting heavily the a small rabbit stumbles through the brush then looks up to see the dragon land near by, wearing only the standred gear a lazor pistol at his hip, a medkit strapped on like a backpack, some granades, and a combat helmet shows that he probably might be in over his head, exiting the brush he sees the dragon and gives him a wave, "am I the only other one that just got here?" he asks as quietly as he can hoping there are no ferals around.

A shadow dragon swoops overhead, carrying an armored figure who is let go in a close curve to the ground, landing, You'd recognize the strange form of an Anubis servant, but without any of the mannerisims, Wearing a large, bulky suit of kevlar padded riot armor with a couple weapons and some sort of can strapped to it, along with a large sheild with the zephyr logo on it, The shadow dragon would land shortly after dropping him off, coming to stand behind him, "Agent Ryder, Reporting for duty!" He says to the tiger standing in the clearing, snapping to a salute,

The tiger visibly relaxes, as he sees the other agents arriving, but still looks a bit nervous "Hi there" he greets them "So does any of you know where those raiders are supposed to be hiding?"

A long power golden scaled tail sways slowly through the air as the large herm moves up slowly to the tiger, the herms golden glowing eyes glancing over his form. The dragon hisses to the tiger "Greeting I got your call, medic and medical nano mage Seguro is at your call. "meanwhile the herm extends a golden scaled claw retracted paw for a friendly shake. The herm shakes hir head at the tigers response before hissing a reply. "Sorry HQ only radioed that there was some paying clients out this way, but if I fly in a search pattern, perhaps I could spot them from the air, but what can you tell us about them?" with a gentle hiss.

Troff looks around as the group forms by the tiger that he failed to notice, "um Troff..trainee medic support" the little bunny says as he looks up at the tiger, as he looks back to the others he notices he is the only one that is not decked out in gear then frowns, "I knew I should have bought those boots" he adds.

Ryder drops his salute, shaking his head, "No sir, Haven't a clue, I just got here, don't really know the area," he says, adjusting his belt and the attatched items, trying to be ready In-case of an ambush,

Well this is going to be fun. Nekura holds back the urge to act like a meanbutt however and instead just wanders closer to where the others are gathered by the tiger to listen in as they talk.

The tiger looks around "Sorry, it wasn't me who called you. I just got the message myself and thought i could be of help since i was close by. The name's Marc by the way." he answers, then once more takes a nervous look at the surrounding trees, when a snap can be heard from behind a nearby shrubbery.

Seguro swivels hir large horned head toward sound of the snapping twig, sun hued eyes scan the tree line trying to make out a shape out in the dim light. The dragon reaches for hir grenade launcher, quickly pulling the gun from the hoister from hir back. Seguo whispers' to the other agents "Hmm did you here that?"

Nearly jumping out of his fur the little rabbit Troff whips out his lazer pistol and looks around hoping he does not need to use the weapon, "y-yeah I-I did" he says as his legs shake then looks in the direction of where Seguro was looking, "what is it?" he adds.

Ryder places a hand on his baton, also on edge, "Might be those raiders you were talking about, I'd get ready for a fight, everyone." He says, nodding to his companion, "Watch my back,"

Marc takes a few steps back from the sound, while from behind the shrubbery a squirrel emerges. As he's completely nude, both him being a male and quite some scars and wounds can be seen. His fur is completely in disarray and he seems to be limping a bit, not putting any weight on his left foot. With a slightly scared look he looks at the agents, then emits in a timid voice "Don't hurt me please"

The dragon move near the tree where the squirrel emerged, making a quick scan of the soundings to checking if the mutant was fallowed, keeping the grenade launcher poised and ready should trouble a rise, leaving the care of the squirrel to the younger medic.

Troff Lowers his weapon as he sees the Squirrel comes into view, "oh god what happen to you?" he asks as as the little bunny rushes over to have a look at his wounds and then talks off his medkit pack and starts to pull out bandages and other items and applies his basic knowledge to help heal the hurt squirrel.

Ryder squints, his baton at the ready, watching the squirrell with an intent eye, "I wouldn't trust him, freind. Those wounds aren't as they seem..." He says, making a point of brandishing his baton to make sure the squirrel dosen't try anything,

The squirrel still looks terrified, now and then taking a glance to see what's happening behind the agents. Then with a very curt nod, he seems to slowly calm down. "You're not with those raiders?" he asks, a bit confusion in his voice.

Seguro fingers hir gun nervously, the jackals comment had set the large herm on edge, hir sun hued eyes scan the perimeter watching for any signs of ambush while using a tree for cover. Not seeing anything shi cracks an eye back to the rest of hir group, over encrypted com shi chatters to the rest of the agents after noticing something is a bit off. "Hey where did the Tiger get off to, umm crap the squirrel may be a decoy."

Troff looks up as Seguro with worry then to the squirrel, not wanting to be in a bad spot he stands up after finishing hie bandaging job then backs away to the rest of his group, using the secure channel he asks, "h-how many? Do you see anyone?" then pulling out his pistol again he waits for the answer he is fearing he will hear from Seguro.

Ryder prepares for the worst, taking his shield off his back and motioning for his companion to get into formation, his shield raised,

With a slightly satisfied grin, the squirrel simply runs off to where he came from, the hurt foot seemingly only having been an act he put up, leaving the clearing in silence for now.

Seguro eyes once more glance to the area where the fox once stood making out a small object on the ground that was not there when the team first arrived. Once more the herms voice whispers over the com. "I don't see anything as of yet, but my guess is that the tiger was black jacked and dragged off though the long grass." Seguro's voice cuts off as shi notices the rodent run off just a little too late as shi fires a solar ray in the squirrels direction, the bolt of nanite light missing wildly. "Crap he bolted" Hissed the dragon in frustration.

Ryder looks in the direction where the tiger was last seen, "We need to track him down, Find out who took them, and teach them a damm lesson," He says, obviously angry, gripping his baton,

Troff gets behind Ryder when he sees the jackal pull to what looks to be a Riot shield, "so um what do we do?" the bunny asks with worry as he scans the area then eeps as he sees Seguro attack the squirrel but misses, "oh god I am happy she is on our side" the little bunny adds then looks over to see the the object that he noticed seguro was looking at and slowly inches toward body turned so he can run if need be, "any idea what this could be?"

The object only is a club like knob, broken in the middle as it seems to have hit something with quite some force. Right next to it there are some trails looking like Marc has been dragged off leading into the woods.

The dragon curses as rejoins the rest the group, while a golden tail tip rattles from side to side expressing the dragon's frustration. Seugro grumbles "This is going well, they got a lot of guts to pull this in front faction agents. Any way I am going after the tiger." without another word Seguro attempts to fallow the tigers trail though the woods.

Troff looks up at the frustrated face of Seguro and nods, "I think I will join you." the little bunny says angry himself for falling for the squirrel's deception then picks up the broken club, "well I hope I can salvage this or some such." the bunny says then follows behind the dragon.

Ryder also follows, bringing up the rear guard, motioning for his companion to follow suit, "Everyone get ready, they might have a trap waiting,"

Following the trsil left behind by the tiger, the agents soon have to find out that it simply ends, presumably when the attackers decided carrying their victim was easier than dragging it along.

Seguro moves less than silently though the brush, fallowing the trail through the brush, the dragon growls sniffing the air hir noise not finding much the tigers scent was too well mingled with that of the local feral population. It was then the herm spied three sets of tracks, the dragon with golden scales then drops to all fours in hopes to hide the herms tall stature as shi continues to fallow the trail. The dragon hisses "What do you thing, I could fly over to scout the area but that might give us away, or we could try to sneak up on them?" keeping hir voice low in case there was a ambush in waiting.

Troff follws behind the tall dragon but stops as seguro ducks down and does then same, noticing that the footprints go off in different directions the bunny frowns, "I think sneaking would be best but we don't know what way they took Marc...we could split up to find what one has our tiger." the bunny says then looks around, "I don't like my idea but it is more efficient and covers more ground."

with the footprint trails splitting, so do the agents, each one following their own trail. Ryders trail leeds deeper into the forest, snaking around the trees, then ends at a cave with a sleeping fox in it, definitely being the wrong one. Seguro's and Troff's trails on the other hand reunite at the edge of the forest. Only a few meters off the last trees some tents have been erected around an open area with figures walking between them. In the middle of the tents some racks are standing, about a dozen of them empty, the other five each having a beaten looking mutant tied to them, one of them being Marc.

A pair of gold glowing wings extend out from the dragon's back as shi leaps into the air on powerful legs, hir large wing span quickly bearing hir aloft as the herm circling to gain altitude hir wings catching a thermal before shi attacks from the air, a golden scaled paw reaches to hir belt to pluck a frag grenade from hir pocket, pulling the pin Seguro drops the sphere from the air aiming for the patrolling figures. The dragon hisses on the com "You rather small there, you think you can seek around under their noises while I draw there fire? I hate for them to take a hostage."

Troff looks up in surprise then nods at the question and starts to run as low as possible around to the opposite side of the camp, making sure that he is not noticed the bunny then darts in between some tents to have a closer look at the situation at hand, looking around to see if anyone noticed him hoping that he is small enough to be undetected.

The raiders all only look up into the sky. The squirrel from earlier, now dressed again, is among them, shouting "That's one of the agents we surprised! WAtch out, there could be more!" but his warning seems to be neglected by the others, who now rush into the tents to fetch their guns. Most of them get cought in the blast of the grenade, but the squirrel and three others still standing take aim at Seguro and try to shoot hir down.

Seguro roars loudly hir voice a deep rumble, the golden dragon protects hirself barrowing some of hir patron's power. With a single thought the solar dragon sends a shockwave though the fabric of space, a powerful shield that would distort and reflect attacks directed at hir, a power known a mirror wave. With a protection in place the herm makes another pass and drops another grenade on hir would be attackers.

Troff watches on as Seguro keeps the squirrel and his friends attention and smiles as he looks at his own granades, counting that he would only need four of his six the little bunny gets in position and rolls the four just onder each furs feet with pins pulled and then dives behind a tent for cover.

The raiders keep on fireing their weapons, only the squirrel being cautious enough to notice the grenades. He kicks away the one at his feet, then turns to warn his comrades, but can't do so any more in time as the blasts knock him off his feet and send him flying into the tent Troff has hidden behind.

Seguro hears the squeaks of the squirrel barking orders to the other mutants, fearing that Troff might notice, Seguro begins to changes tactics', circling from the air the large herm comes around for another pass, as shi comes in low, clawed taloned feet extended as shi attempts pounce one raider from the air.

Troff gets up from his hiding spot he looks inside the tent and sees the squirrel the bunny sees he is a bit groggy from the blast and then pulls his lazor pistol and aims for the guys legs and shots a couple of times his face showing some angre due to the guy hurting the tiger, "give me a reason to shot you in the face." he adds as he hold the gun level with the squirrel's face and waits for seguro to come over.

The squirrel screams in pain as the laser hits his legs, then looks up at the bunny, grumbling "I knew there was not only that dragon." The other raiders meanwhile are all lying around unconscious.

Seguro lands with a thud and crunching of bone on top one of the downed raiders, and here the herm had thought they would be getting back up again. The dragon searches around the cratered landscape for the captive tiger, moving over to inspect the racks.

Troff squints at the squirrel, "what is the reason for all this." he asks as he keeps the gun trained on the male in front of him.

The squirrel looks up at Troff once more "Why should i tell you?" he asks, then tries to grab for something he could throw at the rabbit. Meanwhile Marc slowly wakes up, groaning as he looks around, not yet realizing where he is.

Seguro moves quickly behind Marc, with a golden scaled hand the herm gives the tigers rump a firm squeeze to help him wake up and checking on his state of health with hir Bio-monitoring nanomagic. The golden dragon speaks to the tiger "Are you all right there? Your luck we found you. " while releasing him from the stocks.

Troff sees the squirrel start to do something the bunny points his lazor, "please don;t make me do anything I will regret later, all I want to know is why are you doing this" the little bunny says trying to sound more calm, "if you tell me the truth I will let you leave and we can forget this ever happened, that i can promise, I can also bandage up thoes legs of yours as well." he adds then waits for his answer.

The squirrel looks at the laser pistol once more, then grumbles "Because it's nice to have some slaves and other stuff they carry. But as i don't believe your promise ..." while his hand finds a fist sized rock and he swings it, aiming at TRoffs head. Outside Marc only slowly comes to his senses, as he weakly tries to pull on the ropes holding him on the rack. A slight panic begins to rise in him, but as he sees Seguro closing in on him he eases up, then answers with a husky voice "Not sure."

Seguro undoes the clasp of hir armor expose hir golden scaled breasts, the dragon scoops the tiger up in hir arms pressing an golden fleshed tit near the tiger's mouth urging him to drink. The dragon whispers "Drink, it will help your body recover faster, I am not carrying you out. " while glancing about for other raiders before calling over hir com. "Hmm Toff, I found Marc, he is in rough shape but otherwise fine."

Troff ducks out of the way of the rock that was hurrled at him then points his pistol and shoots, the beam just grazes the Squirls cheek, "you try that shit again and I will make sure it goes in your eye next time understand...." hearing the comm chatter he answers, "okay Seguro, I found the Squirrel I am bringing him out." he says then looks back to him, "you come out slowly or I will start my target practice on you balls first." the now angry bunny says.

The squirrel chuckles slightly at Troff's threats "Just don't take too long to decide what you want to shoot" he snickers while not even thinking about actually standing up. Now free from the rack Marc slowly begins to drink, his body beginning to regfain most of it's strength. Meanwhile the other captured mutants have noticed Seguro is not with the raiders and begin to weakly ask for help too.

Seguro the dragon begins to ready a strong mutant power Tears of Life over the captives of the stockades, a thick fog pours from the dragon's tear ducks, a fine mist that the herm fans about over the captives, before freeing the slaves one by one. Check on their heath with nano-magic and fallowing up there treatment with the trauma kit.

Troff grins adn thinks of something, reaching down with his free hand he pulls out a granade, "you seem to think I cant do any permanent damnage to you..what would a granade do to you if I where to place it on your mouth and pull the pin?" the bunny asks as he holds the explosive in his hand.

The squirrel's eyes go wide in shock and he finally decides to follow the bunny's instructions. Following him, they see Seguro free the final captives, but his tears of life didn't only affect them, but also one two of the raiders, who slowly begins to wake back up.

The dragon curses under hir breath at the sight of the raiders getting up, a scaled hand moves to grab the butt of launcher from hir back, with one hand shi aims between the raiders,"I had about enough of you." the dragon barks before there is the sound of a plooph a shell hurtles off in raiders direction.

With the squirrel in front of him Troff then hears the sound unsure what it was, telling the squirrel to stop he waits to find out what was going on, "um...Seguro what was that?" he says over comm channel.

the grenade explodes right at the just awoken raider's feet. He looks at is, mumbles "Oh shit", then gets knocked unconscious once more by the grenade.

Seguro radios back the herms voice a regal hiss. "Just some raiders that got managed to get back up, anyways we should radio for a chopper, seems Rocky and friends where keeping quite a few captives here. I managed to treat most of them, with what I have in the field, but I don't want to be tromping though the east forest with non-combats, that's got feral bait written all over it." The dragon lays the tiger back down with the other captives before making a call to Zephyr asking for pick up. Anyway Seguro calls again with a snarky calm hiss. "You want to drop Rocky off here with the captives; you could poke around the camp to see if there is anything worth salvaging."

Troff grins at the idea, "yeah I will do that be right there." the little bunny churrs then kicks the squirrel forward, "you are lucky I was the one who found you and not hir." he adds then kicks the guys ass again to get to point across that he should move now.

The squirrel just groans, but keeps moving, while the captives slowly recover and in the distance the sound of the Zephyr helicopter getting closer can be heard.

Seguro looks to the sky as the sound of the approaching chopper goes closer still. The herm turns to look at the approaching rabbit and squirrel walking on mangled legs, shrugging hir shoulder the herm gives the former slaver a shot from a medical hypo from hir trauma kit to speed the healing. The dragon asks" What the heck happened to youfootage Wait don't answer that, I will give you to option of come with me or stay with the little rabbit, your call." Hissed the dragon with a toothy grin.

Troff grins at seguro, "he seems to know who ever he picks is fucked one way or another" the little bunny says then starts looking around the camp for any kind of salvage as she puts his pistol back into his holster on his hip, "so what was the noise as I was coming back seguro?" he adds as he looks in some of the tents.

While the helicopter lands, the squirrel chooses to stay right where he is. Sonn after the area is swarmed by some medics, helping the captives.

Seguro the dragon's begins to help some of the staff load the former slaves into the chopper before the herm turns back to the small rabbit to hiss a response "Just a small launcher for firing grenades, not as the best close combat weapon, but good for knocking foes on once rump for a little while." while the dragon's head turning to look at the small rabbit before boarding the chopper as well.. " I wonder if there is a bounty out on these guys at RSX never hurts too look right?"

Troff sees Seguro get into the chopper and feels if he takes to long he will be left behind the little rabbit hurries back and then looks over to the Squirrel, up ya go into the chopper as well, before they get to it he whispers into the mans ear, "now if you where not such a asshole, or a slaver I might have wanted to get in bed with you." the little bunny then pushes the squirrel up into the chopper and sits beside him, "no funny business or we throw you out the side and see if you can fly." he churrs.

with everyone on board the helicopter lifts off, leaving the camp behind and heads back to Zephyr.
