Ying

He moved silently to the Prarie. He had come from Pikes Lake, where he had met dear HAvfeera, a shark. He shook his two toned dial. So odd. He was black on one side, white on the other. A real treat for humans, he would throw a pretty penny. Bright orange eyes gazed around him as he raised his dial and howled his song to the world.

*Plane*

A distant rumble met Ying's howl. It was not long before the rumble grew louder and louder, and a small plane came into view, gliding low over the grasses. The plane angled and began to head straight for Ying...

Ying

The Male snarled as he saw a plane coming towards him. He took off like a bullet, veering hard to the left. He moved fast, faster then most wolves. Long legs aided him in this. He swerved to the right suddenly, then right again as if reversing his directions. Black and white colored male leaped over a log when he heard the distant rumble of thunder. He sent up another howl, but it came sounding odd from his hard running. He was calling for Karai, someone who would see and no where he was if they captured him.

Karai

Ying's call brought a pair of silver ears to bear, and long legs carried a slim bod deep into the long grasses, coming up beside her friend as she struggled to keep up, swerving erratically as he did. Fast as she was, he was just that much faster. Putting her muscles to earnest work, she panted What IS that thing?

*Plane*

The roar of the engine became deafening as it closed in on the two wolves, but if one thing was on their side, it was that the plane could not manuever well in the air. To counter that though, the gunner was very accurate with his shots.

The man was leaning part way out of the small plane, with a long gun aimed towards the wolves. Just as the plane swooped down near them, he shot a dart at Ying. A second later, another dart was shot at Karai.

The plane banked upwards and went into a wide arch. It would take a bit for them to turn back and follow after the wolves now, to see whether the darts hit, or whether they needed to try again.

Ying

The male felt great relief when his eyes fell upon Karai. "I don't know" He panted. He suddenly felt a stabbing pain hit his shoulder but he pressed on. However, soon his movements became slower and sluggish. The male slowed so drastically but still pushed himself on. He fell near tall grass, the drug taking effect on the male.

Karai

Ying's words spurred her on faster, for the unknown was always to be feared. The roar of the plane behind her was also a good motivator, but her bod was not meant to keep up such a high speed for a great length of time. And it was because of her slower pace and lesser height that the dart hit, not in her shoulder in the usual place, but lodged itself in her side, making her steps even slower and more stumbling. She dragged herself forward a few steps to pull the dart from Ying's shoulder before bending in on herself to remove the other. But her legs were giving way now...

Tom & *Plane*

The plane finally made it's sweeping arch, and now it glided even closer to the earth. With the use of binoculars, they could see that the wolves had been hit. The engine idled lower as the plane descended into the tall grasses. As it touched earth, the craft bounced widly about before slowing and coming to an eventual stop. And there it idled, the propellor whirling around in preparation for takeoff.

A man hopped from the open door of the small craft and headed towards the downed wolves. He went straight for Karai first and stood a few feet off as he watched the drugs take effect on her. Once he saw that she was slow enough, he moved in and gave her a swift kick to knock her to the ground. Moving fast, he grabbed her muzzle before she could have a chance to fight back in her sedated state. Duct tape was used to bind her jaws shut, as well as all four paws. Tossing her up across his shoulders, he carried her to the plane and swung her carelessly to the floor.

Then he walked to Ying and did the same thing with binding his muzzle and legs. That way, if either wolves woke up during the flight, they wouldn't be going anywhere. As soon as Ying was loaded in, Tom stepped into the plane. The pilot brought the small craft toting along through the grasses until he picked up enough speed to bring it into the sky. From there, it was a quick trip to the Nef Labs.
