Just then, he hears rapid footfalls. Then the unfurling of wings. He knows exactly what is going to happen; he can sense it in his fur. He stares at the window, at the approaching rush of wind. Just before it occurs, he leaps back, narrowly avoiding the jaws of a rotting flygon as it lunges through the window to try and snatch him out. It releases a gurgling roar, lashing out at him with its lengthy neck. After it fails to reach him, it pulls its long neck out of the structure and flies off. That is not good; that means it is going to charge into the tower! Adventus dashes up the stairs, just as the dragon makes a U-turn and smashes right into the stone window frame, busting the rock and sending large chunks of its frame tumbling to the terrain at the base of the Sky Pillar. The weavile discerns his situation, trying to get a quick assessment. The staircase leading up is the only way he can go, but the other two beasts--supposedly flygons as well--are up there. But he does not have much of a choice; he may have dodged those first two attacks easily but he will quickly be flanked by the beasts. If he tries to get over the large dragon, he will be intercepted by a quick bite or swat. So thus he rushes up the stairs, the flygon hissing as it shifts through the opening and stomps up after him. He is better in open territory, in a place where he has more maneuverability. Not even a trio of flygons has an advantage over him in that sort of environment.
After he reaches the top and rushes through the open doorway he is met with the swing of a flygon’s claws. He narrowly skids under the attack, using the gravelly ground to help him slide under the beast. After ending up on the other side, he leaps onto its back. He knocks the ungainly beast down with a forceful blow, blocking the way of the other one momentarily as he leaps off and contends with the third one. The last dragon has begun to rampage towards him, apparently started by his appearance unlike the others. He takes advantage of this and takes it down. After dodging its flames and using his speed to get behind it, he leaps onto the slow-thinking dragon’s back. The other two look to be already on the move towards him, and he wastes no time in injuring this one. With one claw burrowed into its back, he tears into the back of its long neck with the other. The monster has begun to writhe and fit, trying to throw him off. But Adventus does not stop--the other two are coming closer! It only takes a few seconds for this flygon to lose its fragile, decomposed flesh, exposing the spine. He breaks away the spinal bone, and rips apart the nerves inside. The dragon twitches and gurgles as he kills it off, causing it to collapse to the ground. He rips his embedded claw from its flesh, and leaps off.
But when he looks to the other two Dragons, ready to flee and strike them down as well, somebody appears at the rooftop’s entrance: “Tansis!” One of the flygons has already taken notice of her, stomping towards her at a slowly quickening pace. The dragon that is still paying attention to him is trying to burn him with its Flamethrower, but Adventus narrowly avoids singing his fur and leaps for the one approaching the delcatty. His Aerial Ace makes it stagger, causing it to tumble over and collapse onto the floor. With that enemy currently distracted, he turns to attack the other one. But it all goes horribly wrong. The flygon had somehow caught up to him, and has snatched him up in its claws in a slow but starlingly reactive movement.
The dragon holds him before its maw, its lower jaw peeled back to reveal its veinous, smooth muscle. It hisses to him, leaving him quite surprised despite his aggressive mindset. “Not even worth eating.” Now that, that right there was insulting. He may not want to be eaten, but to be declared not even worthy of being eaten is actually quite offensive. To add onto the insult, the flygon reaches back and hurls him through the air. He is not going to die, though, not even while the vicious tower’s wind kills his hearing and nearly blinds him! He grinds his claws onto the edge of the tower, attempting to stick his claws into it with a quickly working shell of ice. Eventually he falls down the side but his grip makes him grind to a halt, leaving him gasping in relief. But it is far from over. One of the flygons has come down to attack him now, jumping off of the tower and turning around midflight to crush him against the gritty, old rock surface. But before it strikes him it is smashed out of the way by a powerful bird. A braviary! How in the world could he ever be so fortunate?
But then his claws give way, causing him to fall off of the tower. He falls, and for once in a long time shouts out in desperation to a stranger. The eagle responds, flying back around and catching him on its back. With his vitality still rushing through his head he quickly rights himself and holds onto the back of the huge bird. It speaks to him with a thick and strange accent, of which he has never heard before. “Oui, don’t worry; we’re gettin’ you an’ the Delcatty outta here.” Overhead, he can hear the proud and lively screech of another braviary, who prepares to rescue the delcatty as well.
((OOC: Had permission from Verdzi to have Tansis show up :3 Adventus will just be sticking around until he is approved for the team switch. Do you think that if any of you end up fighting the Flygons, you could not kill them? :< They need to chase off the two Braviaries that are going to carry off Tansis and Adventus. Also, sorry for the long post >_<))
