The war of the races

Scott stopped and sniffed the air. Something was wrong... It smelled like... Gun powder, up ahead, towards the base. The wolf whirled around and faced Zaida. He shook his head and grabbed her sleeve with his teeth and started pulling her the other direction.

Zaida looked confused, she looked in the direction of the base and her ears flicked.
"HUMANS!" Her ears flatened to her skull and she looked at Scott.
"Follow me buddy, we're going to go drown rats today."
She turned her head to the figure walking passed, but didn't do anything other than snarl and hiss. She wasn't sure of his alliance. She grabbed Scott and ran to their side down the street and came to another alleyway with staircases leading up to the roofs of large apartment blocks. "We're going up here mate." She placed Scott onto the first step.

The sudden sounds of voices filled the air as a team of Soldiers ran around the streets. Searching for the two renegade furrs.

Scott darted up the stairs and ducked behind the edge of the building, hoping no one had seen them. His heart was racing, and he knew that if the soldiers tried to hurt him or his friend, he would have to do something, though there really wasn't a whole lot of options.

Zaida's hands were both loaded with pistols and her ice blue eyes actually began looking as if they were moving water, the blue swirling around inside them. She raced up the stairs and when she got to the top of the buildling she looked down at scott and smirked. "You can smellem can't you, foul creatures..."

"There they are!!" The sudden shout broke the silence as a team of 5 rushed to their spot. Rifles ready. "Drop your weapons and get on the ground Mongrel scum!" One shouted.

Zaida held Scott close, looking as if she were following their commands.

Scott cringed and crossed his paws on top of his head. This was not good... He looked up at Zaida, seeing the look in her eyes. Suddenly, he felt more courageous. If it came to a fight, he would fight, though he didn't want to. He stood up and growled. If they came up the stairs, and Zaida's guns didn't stop them, he would knock 'em back down, teeth and claws at the ready.

The Soldier that had issued the command walked up to Zaida and put the end of his rifle to the back of her head. "Any last words welp?" He asked as he prepared to fire.

Scott suddenly leaped up, grabbing the soldier's wrist in his jaws. He felt bones snap, and tasted blood, and the human screamed. The rifle clattered to the ground. Scott pulled the soldier forward, keeping him between the remaining soldiers and himself and Zaida.

"Shoot it! Shoot it!" He yelled. The opthers didn't waste time and immediatly shot at Scott.

"NO SCOTT!" As the shot was fired Zaida flinched and Scott was a watery mass as she was, she controlled him and turned into the liquid herself, immune to almost everything, she was only hoping he could be turned back to normal.

"What the hell!?" One of the humans said in disbelief.

Scott felt himself being... liquified? What an odd sensation... The wolf laughed a bit at the soldier's looks of sheer bewilderment. Now, to get out of here...

"Silus isn't gonna like this..." A soldier said at the odd sight.

The water Scott was apart of, he felt a paw on his and it gipped tightly, even though he was a complete water mass, a pair of ice blue eyes stood out, winking at him. It formed a vortex like motion and spun like a tornado to the top of the building of the base, where they separated, Zaida still normal, Scott still water. She looked at the floating H2o and smiled.
"you wanna come out of there now? we're pretty much safe..."

Salem had arived at the trap door to the base, seeing it was open, he carrefully and silently sneaked down the steps, his hand already on his gunblade, and another on one of his throwing knives he smelled the air. "they found this place, how the hell did they find it". He looked around the bottom of the stairway, keeping silent for as long as he could.

Scott felt himself being de-liquified, and then sat down next to Zaida. The wolf shook water droplets out of his fur, then lay down on his belly and rolled over. This was almost TOO MUCH excitement for one day...

Zaida sighed in releif as Scott rolled on the roof. "Some who i've tried that with never transformed back... they still talk to me here when i use my power." She looked down and evaporated the water off of the wolf's fur. The water reforming into her shotguns. She looked back at the distant soldiers and growled and then she smelt the air. Below them was the base. but there was no way for anyone to get ontop of the building. So for a moment Zaida and Scott both rested on the top, regaining energy.

A voice behind them spoke. "You've lost you know...." Silus leaned against an external Ac. A lit cigarette in his gloved hand.

"How now, we havn't even begun." Zaida was equally as calm as Silus was, still lying on the ground of the floor and Scott's excitement was being held down by her paw. Sending him messages to just relax.
She turned her head slowly to the manticore and smiled. "What's an anthro like you working for the humans, eh?" She grimmaced "What could be the positive side in it if you're a 'halfbreed' like us" Her tail curled underneath her flowing cape coat and her faint smile appeared. "why turn on your only kind where you belong"

Silus twitched at the question. "I already told you....You, we've lost. The only option is to converse." He took the cigarette and inhaled the chemicals before blowing them out in a ragged cough.

hope is not lost you silly Manticore." Zaida gave off a smug growl. "So you don't go an expose our strong holds." She leered her eyes and snarled, slowly sitting up.

"You're going to kill me? and what will that solve?" He said not moving...

"Not kill you..." She slicked her fingers and Silus's arm liquified, it was in her control. "control you, maybe." She grinned and laughed a little and Silus watching his arm turn into a puddle onto the floor.
