Senka, Nemu & Menace

Senka had decided that her, Nemu and menace need some time together so the three females decided to go wander the prairie. Hunting. Senka the leader of the haunters led her sister and daughter keeping low in the grass.

Nemu still missed her sister Dusquie Velvet has yet to tell her of finding her deceased sister. But Nemu was already coming to terms with the fact her sister was dead. She followed after her Half sister. She was the daughter of Martimoor and Samara while Senka was the daughter of Koray and Samara.

Menace was a light blue grey that fades to white on her understides. She is mostly solid in color but has Faint stripes on her legs And rings around her tail. She was 50% Siberian Tiger, 25% Snow Leopard, 12.5$ Sumatran and South China tiger. She followed her mother and aunt.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

Tuini picked up on the scents right away, and knew precisely who's trail he'd just stumbled across. He stopped dead in his tracks, head raised and mouth open to better take in the odors. "It's them. Heh, that's Senka alright, and one of her daughters... Menace? Yeah, that's her." The looked to his companions, an idea quickly forming in his mind. "Nemu's with them too."

Twice the size of the tan-coated Tuini, Spotlight wasn't as familiar with the Haunters. He'd grown up in a separate pride, but he'd heard plenty about the infamous group, and recognized the names his friend was spouting off. Having joined up with the disgruntled Tuini after the smaller male left the Haunters during their tumultuous split, he knew Tuini had a hard time getting the Haunters off of his mind. "Should we change course? What if the others are with them?"

But Tuini shook his head, "This could be our opportunity. Khala, scout ahead and make sure they are alone. If they are... we make our move." Tuini crouched in the tall grass, his dark tan hide blending in with some of the dry blades of grass that arched and swayed around him. Spotlight carried the same tan coloration, only his coat was covered in dark rosettes thanks to his mixed heritage, and though his mane was a deep sepia - nearly black in color - it was small and didn't stick out as much as a normal lion's. He too crouched in the tall grasses, waiting for Khala's report.

The white falcon had been perched on Spotlight's back when Tuini gave the order. With a furious beat of her speckled wings, the raptor rose high into the air and began to circle above the prairie, just to make sure the three felines were truly alone...

Senka, Nemu & Menace

Senka had no clue that a group of big cats that had once been with them was now stalking them. Her eyes were focused on some moose grazing in the distance. Her tail flicked to signal her half sister and daughter as she began creeping toward it. However; came to a halt at her daughters words. Her mouth open as she tried to take in scents. There were alot.Stay closeShe said stopping Nemu from moving away. Nemu coming back to them Menace in the middle now.

Nemu split off to the side then. They had no choice but to give the moose one way to run they had to try to get around and chase them toward Senka.

It was Menace who noticed a strange raptor flying above them and she frowned eyeing it.Im nervous mom, we need to leaveShe said.

Hades was with his brother spotlight, he was a dark tan with a full mane that was brown that tapered off to black.

Paranoia, Plaque, Influenza were also with them

Layra was an all white lioness now with blue eyes crouched down.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

Khala took her time studying the land below her, noting the moose grazing a short distance away. As many times as she circled though, no more felines came into view. These Haunters were alone, with no support within miles around. Even if they called for help, backup would not arrive in time to save them. Unconcerned that she'd been spotted by Menace, the raptor sailed down from the sky, circling again until she landed in the branches of a dead tree near her packmates. "They are alone, and I spotted no other Haunters. We have them outnumbered."

Tuini grinned deviously. "It's time to strike then! We can't allow the Haunters to grow in strength again, especially with this merger of theirs. If we take Senka, that'll leave only Tersek as their leader, and he's one bad step away from death at his age." His tail lashed behind him as adrenaline began to build. "Paranoia, can you and Plague approach them and act friendly? If you two can distract them, the rest of us can circle in around the sides and cut off any escape. If they resist, Hades, Spotlight, and myself will subdue them."

Spotlight nodded to his brother Hades, excitement dancing in his eyes. As quiet as a whisper, the big male began to stalk through the grass, heading in a wide arc...

Senka, Nemu & Menace

Senka crouched down low, though her blueish hued fur would giver her away easily.

Nemu though stayed standing, She was too large to even be beneifited by the long grass. Her head would still be semi visible. She frowned then when she saw two Lionesses approaching. As they got closer she noticed it was Paranoia and Plaque and she relaxed.Its paranoia and Plaque She hadn't seem them in a long time.

Menace sat up along with her mother. But they wer still wary.

Paranoia and Plaque nodded and headed out. it is youSaid Paranoia.we've been trying to find you for some time nowParanoia spoke.

Hades smirked and began to move around to the sides.

Layra moved in the opposite side.

Senka sat up when Nemu said who it was.Have you? Why did you not start with your search at the ruins?She asks warily.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

The ploy worked beautifully to distract the trio of she-cats, giving Tuini and his group just enough time to move forward and encircle the group while their attention was elsewhere. By the time Senka questioned the sincerity of Paranoia's claims, it was already too late. Tuini used his smaller size to move swiftly through the tall grasses, shoulder's pumping smoothly above his back without ever cresting above the line of vegetation that helped to conceal him. In short order, he'd snuck behind Senka and her posse, and boldly padded forward until he would be in view of them, if they were to turn around. "Good afternoon."

At hearing his voice, Spotlight stepped forward as well, coming in at the opposite side of where Lyra was, so that the three cats would be surrounded on all sides. "Good job, Paranoia, Plague." Bright, golden eyes flickered to the two females before shifting abruptly back to their new captives. "You three will be coming with us, to our domain. It'd be best that you go peacefully, and not fight."

Senka, Nemu and Menace

Senka sensed something a miss. The two didn't make any sense. But by the time she was about to Act the others had appeared. Her fur became raised. SHe turned her body to the side so her rump was against her daughter, this enabled her to see Spotlight as well as Tuini, Paranoia and Plaque. Nemu copies her on the other side which allowed her to see Lyra, and three others. While Menace stayed facing Paranoia and plaque. Senka growled at Spotlight not reckonizing him . You think you can take us just by your numbers? She growled.

Menace hackles raised as well as Nemu's. Nemus Head slightly lowered as she hissed.

Hades joined Tuini and smirked.Yes actually we doHe growled.

Lyra kept her eyes on nemu.Paranoia and plaque kept their stance.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

Tuini glanced between his comrades, grinning at Hade's comment. His confidence rising, the lion stood defiantly before the others, feeling little fear despite his diminutive size compared to them all. "Senka dear, as a leader of the Haunters, you surely have an eye for battle and know when you've been beat." The brute took a step forward, aplomb and authority oozing from his posture. "Save yourself uneccessary injury and come peacefully... this is your last warning."

Spotlight stayed where he was, not wanting to elicit a painful swipe or bite from any of the she-cats. As cool and poised as he looked though, the big, rosette-spotted cat was ready to leap into action at a moment's notice, to pin any of the females that tried to run, or defend his pridemates if they were attacked.

Eventually, Khala alighted on Lyra's back, her white feathers blending in with the hueless coat of the cat.

Senka

Senka tail was flicking back and forth in agitation. She knew they were outnumbered. Her ears were back.And what is it you want with us? You do know the rest of the haunters will come looking and when they find us you'll be dead?She asks.

Menace was actually scared and pressed closer to her aunt who in turn moved as close as she could to her niece.

Lyra didn't flinch when Khala joined the mon her.

The others waited.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

"Why, to expand our pack of course." Tuini answered her, noting how her tail was beginning to lash. "And I would be surprised if they didn't come after us for taking you, but I don't any of them while risk your death - which will happen if they attempt to rescue you. You will stay with us for four months, just long enough to give us offspring and ween them, and then you'll be free to go." The lion looked across to Khala, briefly nodding to the bird as he continued, "She will inform the Haunters what is going on."

Senka, Nemu and Menace

She growled and lowered her head now.and you think i'd leave my cubs? Any cubs of mine are hauntersShe growled.

Menace presse up against her aunt now.

Nemu was silent. Her eyes narrowed.

Hades chuckled.well you could always ditch the hauntersHe chuckled knowing full well she wouldn't.

Lyra smirked. Be greatful you get to raise them till weaningShe growled.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

Tuini chuckled along with his comrade, "Lyra's right, you know. You should also be grateful that we're giving you the opportunity to leave with your head still attached to your body once the cubs are weaned. Now, are we going to do this the peaceful way, or was there a good reason for me to have sharpened my claws this morning?" The bold lion moved forward, his sly smirk morphing into something more sinister. His long claws were unsheathed, ready for action should any of these three try to run or resist being guided back to the cavern.

Though nearly double Tuini's size, even Spotlight didn't want to get into a squabble with the fierce cat, knowing weight and strength was only part of the equation. Letting his leaders do the speaking, the hybrid feline merely kept his eyes trained on Senka and the others, ready to herd them across the Prairie, or give chase if they tried to flee.

Khala remained settled on Lyra's back for now, preferring to wait until given explicit instructions before she would fly to the Haunters with a message.

Senka

Senka glared at them. She knew it was futile to try to run. however; if they succesfully bred her she would be leaving with her cubs and she would fight for them then. You won't get away with this, The others will come whether I live or not they will take you out kill you and eat you we have no problems eatting our own kindShe growled. She did swipe at him once but more so as a warning.

Nemu tail flicked.

Lyra looked at her group.Tuini and Spotlight you take Senka, Plaque and Paranoia Menace, The rest of us will take NemuShe said movng to now seperate the big cats. they wil be kept in seperate caverns She snapped at Menace and then Nemu.

Paranoia and Plaque moved on either side of menace.

Menace hissed but was forced away from her aunt and mother.

Hades moved to help with Nemu.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

Tuini drew his head back swiftly, narrowly missing the dangerously sharp claws that Senka flew in his direction. He growled fiercely back at her and came forward then, raking his own talons for her face as he made the move to separate her from the other two. "You'll learn quick that you're no leader here, Senka. Now move!"

At Lyra's orders, Spotlight lumbered forward as well. Unlike Tuini, he was larger than the Haunter's leader, and he used his bulk and strength to try and force her away from Menace and Nemu. And if any of the she-cats took swings or bites at him, he'd give them right back.

Khala launched herself from her leader's pale hide and fluttered low into the sky. After a quick circle above, the falcon's sharp voice cried down to her pride, "All's clear! I see no Haunters."

Senka

her tail was flicking side to side in agitation now. She pulled her head back but moved only when spotlight joined him. She could take each by themself but not the two she wasn't stupid. But if they thought they'd get cubs from her and think they could keep them...

Nemu tried to stay with her niece but was forced away.

Menace hissed at the two. She was actually scared.

Tuini, Spotlight, & Khala

Once the three were successfully split up, Tuini drew ahead, leaving Spotlight to walk directly behind Senka, just in case she tried to attack or split away. With Khala keeping a close eye on the group and the surrounding area, they began their trek back to the cavern.
