"If you know where we could find some, that sounds like fun to me." Atu said. He figured something like that would take the edge off his anger at least for a bit.

[glow=red,2,300]Yay! Well then lets take a nap to store our energy, eh? Kippo put away his toy and began to take a nap. He opened an eye and watched fox for a bit, fearing attack. After a bit, he closed it at slept soundly.
OOC: You can decide how long the storm is.[/glow]

Atu decided to stay awake, since he was so close to another beast. He also saw Kippo's one open eye. "Don't worry, thoguh. I'm not gonna kill you. You haven't done anything to me, and you pose no threat, since you were the one to volunteer to sleep." Atu said while he knew the otter was still awake. Within about half an hour the storm was over. In that time, Atu didn't sleep, but just rested his eyes. After the storm ended, he nudged Kippo and said, "Hey, it looks like the storm has passed. Let's head out."

"I figured," Atu said. "So, now that the storm's over, did you know where we're going to find those vermin you were talking about? Or did you have any specific ones in mind to begin with?"

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]"I saw a group of 'em heading down that way." Kippo pointed the way the storm came from. "It was before i found Flitch and you, so they couldnt be far off." Kippo unsheathed his dirks and began to walk in the direction he pointed. "I have not fough a bunch of lowly searats inna loooooong time."[/glow][/shadow]

"Well, hopefully they're still within reach," Atu said. But then he started to worry. "Did you see where they were headed? Like anywhere with a lot of goodbeasts?" he asked Kippo, hoping he would remember.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]"Uh, I think they were heading out to sea. There are occasional groups living there, so they cou...lets run, mate." Kippo burst into a sprint, not caring if the fox was following. Gotta run, Gotta run, gotta get there before they do. Kippo jumped off a large rock and contued sprinting. He stopped at the sound of lots of feet.[/glow][/shadow]

Atu was sprinting as well, but stopped as soon as he heard the same footsteps. "This might be them," Atu said to Kippo quietly. He darted behind the rock that Kippo had just jumped off of and motioned for him to get back there too.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Kippo noticed the motion and gave a quick peek at the feet. All he saw was sticks. Kippo sneaked over to Atu. "I didnt see them. Whats the plan? We dont know the enemy or the force of it so we cant attack directly." Kippo looked at the rock and noticed writing on it. "Remind me to come back here, I want to read this."[/glow][/shadow]

"Will do." Atu thought for a bit with his paw on his muzzle. He started remembering his mercenary days, and what his group would do when they couldn't see the enemy, but weren't under attack. "Well, I guess we could head to different hidden spots like this one until we can get the enemy in view."

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Kippo nodded in agreement. "I will head to the left. you head right. we meet on the opposite side." Kippo made his way to the left. "I hope there are pikerats, bowrats, or a heavy rat. i have the advantage over them.' Kippo continued around, seeing dead voles, mice, and searats. "Damn those searats. I will kill them" Kippo continued and got a quick glance at a rat swinging his sword at women and children. Kippo's fur bristled with anger. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGG!" Kippo burst from hiding and charged the rat head-on, not caring if there was lots of others. In one swift motion, he lopped the rat's head off and looked at the opposition. There were 30 in all, 7 stoats, 6 ferrets, 10 rats, and 7 foxes, not counting the dead rat. Kippo yelled to Atu. "There's 30! Take your pick!" Kippo rushed the horde, grabbing a rat with his 2 dirks and thrusting them though the rat's stomach into the ferret behind him. "Die, slimy creatins!" Kippo got a glance at the carnage. Dead goodbeasts lied on the ground, some with protruding weapons. He snarrled with disgust when he saw fallen female goodbeasts. Kippo had a hate for those who killed the defenseless. Hence his reason for not being a rouge. Kippo suddenly realized he was trapped. 7 vermin were thrusting at him with spears. "Atu, A bit of help would be nice right now!" Kippo had no time to take out his throwing knives. His dirks were the only thing keeping him from getting a spear through the chest.[/glow][/shadow]

Meanwhile, Atu had been implementing a more careful plan. He had been sniping a lot of the rats who were about to strike his new companion from behind, using his sword on any who tried to take the fox out up close. He realized he couldn't stay back any longer if he wanted Kippo to live. He decided to rush in as well, with his sword and shield. Her put his bow on his back, brandished his other weapons and charged in. He let out a yell and sliced three sea rats with one swing. He ducked another one's spear thrust and stabbed him. He assumed another one would be behind him by now, so he whirled around with his shield out. Just as he thought, there was, but instead of stabbing Atu like he wanted, the rat took a shield then a sword to the mouth. "Get out now!" Atu yelled to Kippo after clearing an opening for him.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]"Way ahead of you." Kippo used Atu's attack to his own advantage, usinga skill he learned as a ranger called 'Friendly Foe'. Kippo leaped in the air, grabbing a sea-rat, the smallest one, and began using him as a defense and offense. he took out . "Hey Atu. Fox on your right!" Kippo realized him 'friendly foe' tactic only worked for this poor rat's friends. A fox cut the rat down and opened his guard to Kippo. Kippo didn't notice, but did stab an attacking rat with a fallen spear. the fox got up and swung his sword. for Kippo, time seemed to slow down. He saw the sword coming and felt helpless. He didn't move to avoid it. It was impossible to dodge with all these vermin. [/glow][/shadow]

A fox! Atu was now angrier than he had ever been since the last time he fought a fox. He hated how opportunistic foxes were. Either they were good but weak healers, fortune tellers, and gypsies, or they were cowardly mercenaries or assassins. He hated both types, but this fox belonged to the type of fox he hated most. In Atu's mind, this fox deserved the most painful death imaginable. Atu first sliced off his sword arm, to save Kippo. Instead of simply stabbing the fox from there, Atu gave him a gash accross his back, sliced off his tail, kicked him to the ground, then cut his belly. Atu was snarling all the way, completely enraged at the enemy fox as if he had been the one to kill Atu's family. Because he saw the flaws in the fox kind as the reason for his family's death, In Atu's mind, this fox had been his family's murderer.
