Exploring happens, things die. [Active/Open]

Characters: Zira, OPEN
Content: ... Zira is hunting. Have fun.
Setting: Somewhere in town
Time: Week 28 -evening
Warnings: It's Zira. so.... violent and a bloody with a side order of sarcasm and anger management issues.

Zira moved from shadow to shadow as the vicious lioness stalked her prey. The prey? Some nameless woman that crossed her path. She crouched down, her body tenses as she readied to pounce. Seconds later she sprang on the unsuspecting woman with a flash of claws and fangs.

A scream rang out only to be cut off by a sickening squelch and a bone shattering crunch. As soon as she was sure her prey was dead, she dragged the body into a secluded shadowy area and began to tear into the corpse, not caring that her muzzle and claws were covered in blood.

There was nothing quite like an evening stroll... well uneventful evening stroll at least. It's been so quiet and calm in Paixao that Priere nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the scream. She never thought she'd ever heard something like that here.

"What was that scream?" she herself screamed as she ran towards where she thought she heard the woman. She was probably too late, not only was there no one there, but the smell of blood was already in the air. "Oh great..." she mumbled to herself, on high alert.

Zira paused in her feeding when she heard foot steps head towards her. The lioness was far from willing to share her meal so a warning growl rang out as she stepped out of the shadows with her head lowered and fangs bared. Light played off her pale tan fur streaked with blood as her tail lashed, still hidden by shadow.

"Who dares disturb my hunt."

What the...? While Priere suddenly recalled that she had indeed talked to someone who claimed to be lion, she really hadn't expected this. She quickly regained her composure though... the sight before making it quite clear that she wasn't very friendly.

"Your... hunt?" she answered, clearly not impressed. "You're hunting?"

"Yes and it looks like there's more on the menu."

A wicked grin graced the lioness's bloody muzzle as she became still. Intense red-brown eyes focused on the girl, daring her to run, to scream for the huntress's pleasure. There was nothing like live prey to make the evening more eventful.

Even it was just for entertainment purposes. The woman she just took down was more than enough to feed herself for now.

"Oh great," Priere muttered as she took a few steps back, right before reaching back, grabbing her baton. There wasn't a sign of fear in her eyes, in fact she was more annoyed than anything.

"You think I'm just going to sit there and let some overgrown cat eat me? HA!" After all, it was just one lion. She had defeated so many demons, monsters, and even Demon Lords and worse... one lion? HA, what a joke.

... well okay, so she wasn't alone when she defeated all of those, but she was pretty sure she could take down an animal rather easily... right?

The lack of fear sparked a bit of curiosity withing Zira. It wasn't often she encountered things that didn't go running from a lioness on the prowl. Especially one with a fierce reputation like hers.

No matter. She would show this pathetic creature exactly why she should be feared. Her body fell still as claws kneaded the ground. Zira was ready to pounce the moment the girl made a move.

So they were going to play that game of "who hits first", huh? Priere pondered waiting for the lioness, but it quickly fell out of favor. She wasn't really patient, and anyway, just by the way she was standing Priere had a pretty good idea just what kind of attack she was going to perform.

"Repent!" she screamed out, swinging her baton, a small fire explosion bursting out of her weapon right in front of her, but too far away for it to hit anything. That should get her to move at least.

The sudden burst of fire cause Zira off guard, drawing a roar from the pissed off lioness. Moments later she was charging, claws extended and fangs bared. Zira was going to tear this girl apart! Now it was time to see how this little two legged creature fared against the speed and brutality of an experienced Lioness used to taking down prey much larger prey.

Fighting was second nature for Priere, and she had seen a lot more impressive and dangerous things than a lion. That said, it's been a while since something charged at her so fast. Oh well, the important thing was to stay clear of the fangs. Claws she could handle, fangs on her throat... well she started to regret having neglected to learn Omega Heal.

At least that got her moving. Bracing herself for the hit by covering her vitals, she swept her foot to the side, raising it into a kick, hopefully managing to intercept the raging lioness.

The attempted kick barely fazed the charging lioness as she swept her claws at the girl attempting to cover herself. Good try, but not good enough. Claws slammed into the girl full force, baring all of Zira's weight as she began snapping at her head.

One good bite and a twist! That was all she needed! Zira wanted to hear crunching bones! This creature would pay for disturbing her meal even it it was the last thing she did. Whether or not the girl survived was not her concern. Though perhaps leaving her alive as a warning to others would be a wise decision.

Yes... Zira backed off the ferocity of her attack, now only intending on mauling the girl.

Oops... guess the lack of challenges lately got Priere rusty. She was going to need a lot of healing once this was all over, but for the moment, she pushed it aside, the adrenaline, and her own temper helping a lot at the moment. If the lioness thought it was going to be over, she was going to be disappointed.

As strange as it sounded, having the lion aiming for her head was exactly where she wanted it... though she could have gone about it in a much better way. She moved her left arm right in front of her neck and face, barring access, and raised her right one to deliver an uppercut aimed right in the cat's jaw. At close range like this, it should connect, hopefully.

Zira was taken by surprise at the connecting hit, causing her to rear back and roar as she retreated for a moment. Oh she was used to prey fighting back, but usually it was with horns and hooves or teeth. Not... whatever that was.

The agitated lioness began to circle the girl, her tail twitching with every movement as she seized her up again, planning her next coarse of attack.

While this was better than having a lioness in her personal space, Priere didn't really enjoy being tagged as a prey by wild life. She turned slowly, not leaving the lioness out of her sight.

"Why the hell did you do that!" she indignantly spat out, making a quick nod in the dead woman's direction.

"I was hungry. Why else would anyone hunt? With so much prey around, can you really blame me?"

And for sport. It had been so long since there was such an abundance of prey around her that Zira couldn't help herself! They were just so tempting and besides, it was her job to pick off the weak and cull the herd otherwise they would get to large.

Zira continued to circle the girl, noting how she kept her eyes on the lioness. It wasn't long before she paused and tensed before charging in again, this time keeping low to avoid being hit again.

In a way, Priere could understand. Animals were animals, that's how they feed themselves, by killing other animals and eating them. And yeah, she was pretty sure that steak she ate the other day came from something that was alive... but still...

"YES!" Priere answered angrily. "You can pretty much get any food you want here, and for almost nothing! You have no right to kill people!" If they were starving and there was really nothing else around... maybe, MAYBE, she could have understood the whole thing, but at this point? It was no excuse in her mind.

She was too predictable though. As soon as she saw her crouching, Priere simply jumped out of the way of the charge. Since it was getting a bit too dangerous to fight close range at this point, might as well switch tactics. Still keeping her eyes on the lioness, she pointed her finger at her, almost in defiance, while the wind suddenly started to pick up behind her.

"That doesn't provide the challenge of a good hunt."

She went in snapping her jaws only to get empty air and go skidding. Zira quickly recovered only to realize that there was something wrong. Why was the pathetic creature pointing at her and why was there a wind kicking up?

Something was not right about this and very out of the ordinary. Her ears flattened themselves against her skull as her tail twitched with annoyance. Moments later she was clawing at the wind, testing it before turning her gaze back at the creature.

What the hell was she doing!?

Oh, the wind was nothing to worry about. No what she had to worry about where the four batons that seemingly popped out of thin air in the wind behind her, spinning so fast that it was hard to actually see what they were.

"Oh yeah? Well not around here! REPENT!" she cried out as they went hurling towards the lion.

The sight of something popping out of thin air and spinning rapidly put Zira on edge, making her crouch low with ear pinned against her skull. Red feline eyes attempted to follow the objects only to loose them in a blur. Her tail lashed back and forth as she growled, tension apparent through her entire body.

Suddenly, the objects went hurling at her. Zira managed to move the first one or two only to have the remaining ones catch her in the side as she turned, drawing a fierce roar from her as she lashed out at the ones that hit her.

That seemed to do it. Not taking a moment to rest, she lunged forwards at the distracted lion, her fist pulled back. This time, she wasn't going to get caught like earlier and anyway, that lion had pissed her off to a point she just couldn't back off. "This is now a no hunting zone!" she said, not really caring she had no authority over the matter, as she punched forwards.

Zira was too distracted by the objects that hit her to realize the girl was charging.The lioness continued to claw and slash at the objects only to hear the battle cry before feeling something slam into her.

Her immediate reaction was to roar and twist to claw at whatever hit her before trying to get away. Whatever this creature was, she was worse than a stampeding herd of wildebeests! Zira felt it might be time to beat a tactical retreat. As much as she hated doing so, perhaps this was the best time.

After all, she would be no use to her beloved Scar if she were dead.

Priere jerked back at the claw. Though she did get swiped, she did managed to evade the worst part of it. Well one more injury to the fight, she'll deal with them later...

Or maybe a lot sooner than she thought, that lion was running away. "Wimp!" she couldn't help herself scream out, intent on chasing her down. That lioness killed someone, she couldn't just be left alone in a city full of people.

Yet, she barely made two steps forwards before she stopped. She... she couldn't just leave that women there, especially since she was dead. She disliked the natives of Paixao, no thanks to how they treated them, but still, no one should just be left in an alley, half eaten.

"Urgh, fine, fine..." she mumbled as she ignored the chase, taking out her communicator instead. She could deal with an animal later, this however, needed to be fixed now. The quicker the better too... she had that nagging feeling she needed a shower... and a long rest.
