[PRIVATE] A Rogue's Light

[VitanisMate]

Mufalfa grinned evilly. "Oh yes of course."

===

"Oh of course just know that we may fail but I will help you try. You see maybe I can avenge my parents if I take down that monster." He smiled knowing the fools would trust him. He knew once he got there Mufalfa would help him fight the foolish idiots. "Also know this and brace yourself. The sister you are looking for may not still be alive."

[Nakisisa]

"How long do you think they'll be?" Ra asked

[AustralianChaos]

Auni...Tanga forced himself to commit that name to memory, along with all the others. In his whole life, he had only ever had to remember three names; his own, and those of his two parents...and he was struggling to cope with all these new people in his life. He could tell that Auni was frustrated with him for his shoddy memory, and did his best to offer the lion an apologetic look, whilst also showing his appreciation for him sticking by them.

But Neru's words helped Tanga steel himself for what he was almost certainly going to be a nasty fight. There was no doubt in his mind that Imani, despite her silence so far, would want to head back after her sister once more, and Tanga would willingly - if nervously - follow her. As Auni had said, there were four of them - five if Imani's sister was still alive - and no lion, even one as vicious as Mufalfa, could possibly stand up against such odds.

If Imani's sister was still alive...Those words threatened to bring Tanga's hopes down, but he refused to believe it. Until he saw the lioness' body himself, he was going to hang on to that small hope that she was still alive, that Mufalfa had, for some reason, spared her.

"She's strong," he finally said in response to Neru's statement. "She'll have found a way to survive. And Auni's right...even someone as deadly as Mufalfa can't take on four of us at once...no-one is that good."

But even as the words left his mouth, he began to feel apprehensive about this upcoming fight. "Even so...if we're going to do this, and do it right, we need a plan. Mufalfa's almost certainly expecting us to come back sometime soon."

[VitanisMate]

Mufalfa smiled. "Knowing how determined they are I would say in a few minutes." He laughed. "Prepare yourself my sweet for a bloodbath."

===

Neru smiled knowing they were walking right into a trap. "My friends I am ready to go. May we trumph over that monster." He looked knowing that he wanted to end their lives soon knowing that Mufalfa would reward him greatly. "My friends I wish to see us all triumph." He smiled trying to show his sincerity.

(I will be gone for a few days.)

(( Awww :( ))

"I am Prepared My sweet" Ra said, unsheathing her claws and giving Mufala a Final Passionate Kiss, before barring her teeth

[Skittakallista]

"Yes." Auni agreed with Tanga and Neu, also giving Tanga an understanding and apologetic look. It wasn't his fault his memory was poor and he thought he had let his anger show too easily. "She must still be alive. She showed great strength and courage back there. She wont have gone down without a fight. Now what's the plan?"

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga's confidence grew as he saw Auni's understanding look. "Okay," he said, focusing more on Auni than Neru, since the latter seemed to be focused on blindly charging in. "We know that Mufalfa is holding Imani's sister...Ra, did you call her?" He was still trying to get everyone's names down. "Anyway, we know he still has her. The first thing he would most likely do is use her as a hostage to try and force us to back off. We have to catch him by surprise, stop him before he can harm anyone. If we let him take the first strike, he could easily deperate and overpower us."

Tanga found the words flowing easier now. He was in his element...planning his actions before doing them. It was the way he hunted: He observed the situation, made a plan, and implented it as best he could. Why couldn't such hunting methods also work in a fight against another lion? Granted, he believed he was not the best planner in the whole savannah, but he hoped his abilities would be enough today. "The crucial thing for us is to face him in a place where we have all the advantages. There are more of us than there are of him, obviously, so we want to get him out in the open, where we can surround him, and stop him from backing into a corner where he can force us to face him one at a time."

"But what he really need to make sure of, is that Ra is safely out of the way when he do this. If Mufalfa has her too close by, he could grab her before we can do anything." That was what he was really worried about. There was no doubt in his mind now that Ra was still alive, and that Mufalfa was going to use her as a hostage when they came back for her. The real question was how to seperate the two, without Mufalfa realising it was a trap? It was a question he could not find an answer for immediately.

[Skittakallista]

Auni brightened. Now we're getting somewhere! He thought happily. Not having the biggset brains or muscles in the savannah, he was doubtful wether he'd be much help. But then a thought occured to him.

"His other personality appears to be friendly." He mused. "If we catch him in that one or if during the fight he reverts to it, then we could all get away before he turns back!" He grinned at them, hrdly beleiving he had thought of something!

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga managed a warm smile at Auni. If it weren't for his shyness, along with the memories todays events had brought up, he would probably have offerred up an ear-splitting grin instead, but Tanga had had precious little to smle about for the past year...the other would have have to settle for the occasional smile for now.

"That's a great idea," Tanga replied, trying to use this latest information to work things around a bit. "Although, we'll have to ready at any moment in case he switches back too quickly for us."

What Tanga hated about this was the the nature of the situation they were planning for. There were just so many variables to take into account. Mufalfa's split-personality...Ra's nature as a hostage...the fighting skills of everyone around him. There was so much that could go wrong, and if something did go wrong, the plan was likely to backfire on them very, very quickly.

Imani looked at Auni to Tanga, to the new lion who burst onto the scene, Neru. She couldn't lie to herself when she didn't exactly get the greatest vibe from the newest lion, but she would play along and keep quiet as much as she could. She was still, after all, distraught by everything that had happened today, and she was around all these lions whom she didn't know. The creamy lioness backed away from the group a little and kept her violet eyes on them carefully to let them speak. Imani was never one for talking much when it came to being in a big group of males, who she probably had no confidence around at all, added with working with lions on a plan t rescue her sister; her world.

The only lioness of the group nodded her head and listened, looking down at the ground with her body as curled up as much as possible while she was sitting. Her tail was wrapped around her legs for the time being as she let her paw draw things in the ground, still listening to them talk amongst themselves.
