Blood now soaked the lycan's black fur, as his claws dug into another of their prey. His smoky white eyes stared into the cold blue eyes of the human soldier. The soldier didn't utter a cry or even beg for his life as Malice delivered the final blow to his chest. Their eyes locked, until every bit of life was drained and his glare dulled. Malice held no remorse for any dead soldier; not for the widowed wives or the fatherless children. It was their just deserts for being part of a cruel crusade against lored-kind.
Looking away, his eyes found a nearby soldier standing over a werewolf, his gun cocked, ready to deliver the last slug. Cocking his arm back, Malice threw the man's body as if were football. It connected with the soldier, knocking him over and granting one of his brethren a few more moments of breath. It seems Staalk do serve a purpose to lored-kind; they make for nice projectiles. A grim smile broke across the lycan's snout.
There was a whizzing sound coming from behind the lycan now, instinctively, Malice jumped to the side. The source of the noise landed with a clank and stopped against a body. Malice stared. It was some sort of canister... A fizz sound came and white smoke started pouring out -- Smoke grenade! quickly, he moved to kick it away, but his efforts were in vain as several more landed and began clouding the area. Just before his vision was completely blurred, he saw the familiar frames of the Staalk VU's, with guns trained on the immediate area.
"Everyone to cover!"
Malice voice cut through the noise as all those under him followed as well as anyone else. But, judging by the cries of pain, the bullets had found targets of both Staalk and lored-kind. The barrage of bullets plowed aimlessly through the white smoke. Malice himself had scampered out of the smoke and up a wall.
They must be getting desperate. Only a frustrated commander would fire on his own soldiers.
The smoke was beginning to thin, and Malice could just make out the limp bodies of his pack. "Your suffering ends here..." A red beam of light shined brightly, blinding him. He raised a hand to intercept it, only to have a sharp object thrown into it; the blade stopping just before his eye. It burned immensely, meaning it was made of silver, but no sound of agony left his mouth.
"Malice located. Apprehend dead or alive. Weapons free."
"Shit." Growling, Malice removed the blade and threw it, puncturing one of the VU's armor. He then leapt from the wall, but just as he landed, the same soldier was already closing in on him. Using his inertia, he drew a sword and swung it across Malice' torso. Barely dodging the attack, the tip of the blade ran across his stomach as Malice jumped back. But, the onslaught did not stop there; jumping over the soldier's shoulders, two more VU's appeared wielding throwing knives. And just like their predecessor, the knives made contact with his body. Malice submitted to the pain and let lose a distressed roar.
Overwhelmed, he turned tail and pounded off in the opposite direction. Malice was not running away, but he needed to more space between each soldier and gather himself. Of course though, the soldiers were already on his heels. "We have him now." But, just as Malice cleared a field of dead lycans, there was uproar. Turning, Malice saw lycans rising from the bodies of the dead and ambush the three VU's, like trapdoor spiders. His once presumed dead pack, ripped the three soldiers to pieces and roared triumphantly as they did so. Now rallied with more troops, Malice bolted past his brethren and into the fray, ready to dismantle the other VU's.
Three down, twelve more to go.
