((OOC: Yeah, that sounds good))
Taz groaned as they continued needlessly trying to stand up to him. And then they gave him the retort about the humanity thing. He'd been using it as a general term, just as they had.
"I was using it as a general term since you all obviously were too. And I won't deny that other anthros are messed up too. after all, look at Tree. It's just that humans piss me off the most. But you're obviously a bunch of lost causes..."
And then he'd heard the gun click. Taz slowly turned his head, and out of the corner of his eye he could see a girl. With a gun.
"Oh you evil bitch."
He hadn't been able to finish that last part, because at that moment, the bullet that the girl had shot hit him square in the back of his kneecap, and Taz collapsed to the ground screeching like some kind of demented bird. She'd hit him hard. And it hurt like a mother.
"Goddammit! Right in the back of the fucking knee!" Taz yelled. He stumbled to his feet again, but it was unsteady. One more shot would be all it took to take him down.

Gene, and a few of the others actually ALMOST started to feel sorry for Taz before the girl, known only as Lilia, coldly reaimed her gun, and fired another round. This bullet was aimed directly at Taz's left wing.
[OOC: This next part goes AFTER Taz's response to the bullet.]
After most likely screaming in pain at this, if Taz were to lift his head...
He'd find himself staring down the barrel of the exact same pistol that had just done quite a bit of damage.
Just beyond it, one could see Lilia, her hard blue eyes almost looking like they were on fire.
"YOU COME NEAR MY FRIENDS AGAIN, FEATHER HEAD..."
She clicked the pistol back, ready to fire another shot.
"I'LL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND...THOSE TWO SHOTS WERE ONLY WARNINGS. GOT IT?!" That last part was spoken through a growl.
[Sorry if that seemed ownish, but this was pretty much in Lilia's character.]

Another gun was heard being prepped, and Nutcase was seen with his pistol again, also aiming at Taz.
"We wont kill you outright if you stop this nonsense." Nutcase said coldly. "We can even help you start a new life, like with how Gantz did to Metal and Gene here. But mark my words: If you make one more move against us while we're trying to save our friends and go back to our homes so we can get on with our lives, you WILL die. Do I make myself clear?"

Taz screeched again as the bulled pierced his wing. At least it hadn't hit anything too fleshy, but that still hurt like a mother. By this point, Snowy, Beatrice, and Taffy had all gathered around him too, and they looked pissed. Probably expected.
"Do I look like I want to start a new life? Sorry, but I like my life," Taz said. "And time stops for no man, anyways."
That last phrase seemed a bit odd, and Taffy tilted his head to its side before suddenly getting hit by a bolt of flames.
"Ow! What the hell?!" Taffy turned around just as a forcefield formed around Taz and knocked him, Snowy, Beatrice, and likely anyone else standing nearby Taz back. Standing in front of Taz now was a kid who looked to only be barely three feet tall, not counting his insanely tall hat.
"Sorry, but I can't have you killing Taz," the kid said. "It's hard to find good nihilist supporters of Ragnarok. We had to dupe that stupid fish into supporting it using his friend, after all, and that stupid kid who got himself possessed recently."
"Ford, where the hell were you while I was getting my ass kicked?!" Taz asked.
"Getting a coffee at that shop down the street," Ford said. "You didn't look like you needed help anyways."
Taz tsked, and Ford put one hand on him, and held another one out.
"We'll be leaving now. Beatrice, I hope you liked your gift," Ford said. "It's particularly difficult to turn an organ into a philosopher's stone, it's much easier the other way around."
"Eat shit, Short-stuff!" Beatrice yelled. She ran up to punch Ford, but there was a pop, and he and Taz were gone. "Shit! They 'ported!"
Taffy looked back at Kosumu and Tree. "Is she alright?"

Nutcase stomped the ground in frustration, ripping clumps of hair out of his head. "DAMN IT!!! Man, just why in the hell are there people like that?! It's bad enough those damned bugs destroyed our homes, and now we got a crazy cult to fight off!"

Kosumu looked to Taffy as he healed up Treetune. "Hurt bad..." He smiled after saying that. "Healing fast." Talim gingerly rubbed her back, but found no trace of the claw marks the talons left; just a few light scabs. "Okay Talim?"
Talim after confirming the factor, nodded to the boy, smiling. "Yes I am, thanks to you Kosumu."
In the meanwhile, Climber took off what was left of the aviator jacket, and handed it back to Beatrice. "Sorry Miss Beatrice." He had a rather awkward smile on his face. "I tried to fight Taz... Then that happened." He felt at the light cuts that were left in his mountain climber apparell that he had wore underneath the aviator jacket, and saw that it had a few clawmarks in it as well, though it was in WAAAAY better condition then the jacket. Well, at least he had no reason to worry about replacing fluff.
"Who.." Lilia was getting off the ground, recollecting her pistol all the while... And her eyes was furiously trained on the spot Ford and Taz were at mere seconds ago. "GENE!!!" Gene jumped to attention. "WHO THE HELL WERE THEY?!?"
Gene scratched his head. "I had no clue honestly." That likely warranted a sweatdrop animation out of Lilia.

"They were bad guys, palin and simple!" Nutcase said as he banged his head on the wall. "When I first laid eyes on that buzzard I knew there was something off, yet I didn't think much into it! Apparently those two work for an idiot wanting to brong about the end of the world, and we have those two sent after us to kill us off!"
Slimer began crying hysterically, knowing how bad a situation this had become.

Taffy smiled at that news. She was hurt bad, that he knew, but she was healing. "Good. Hey, make sure you get Ark when you get done. Taz got him pretty good too." He looked over at Nutcase. "Hey man, you're gonna give yourself a concussion that way."
"No shit," Beatrice said. She blinked as Climber handed her back the scraps of the jacket. "Ah, it's fine. I'll sew you something new up. I'll see if I can make this next one a bit more durable, too."
And then Lilia questioned who those people were, and Nutcase answered. "Er, well, they weren't trying to kill me... bastards... But those two were Taz, a powerful bounty hunter who has only been beaten twice: once by Tortellini, this penguin dude, and once by Clive, who was fighting a weakened Taz in that case anyways. The other guy was Ford. I dunno much about him, but he's a friend of Flamel."
Snowy had left Tree's side and wandered over to the rest of the group. She turned toward Lilia. "Thanks for helping us out. I'm pretty sure we'd all be dead if you hadn't shown up. Even if Taz couldn't take us out, Ford definitely would have. Oh, I'm Snowy. That's Beatrice, the guy with the broom's Taffy, the bat's Tree, and the blue fox is Ark."

Lilia grinned snidely to herself, as she twirled the gun before putting it back in it's holster. "Don't mention it. Just be thankful Gene was here. He was the one that held that bastard off." She scoffed a little. "Still, if I ever see that feather head again, I'll stick this gun and fire it, RIGHT UP HIS-"
"THAT ASIDE," Gene quickly stepped in before Lilia could finish that comment; probably for the best since Kosumu was there. "If that was Taz and Ford... I think it's safe to assume, Lilia, that we just met the enemy Gantz was talking about."
This led to a few confused faces. "So... Gantz knew about them?" Came Talim with a raised eyebrow.
"Apparently the tales Beatrice told was enough to spark his interest." Lilia continued before looking around. "But we really shouldn't talk here. Like Gene's probably told you, there could be eavesdroppers everywhere. We need a more secure location."
Gene grinned, "And like I probably told you before, I can take you there. It's just now, I'll be more willing to do it since Lilia's here."

Tree sighed and winced, since Kosumu hadn't finished healing her yet. "Aw man... I wanted to get some shopping done first. I'm running low on aqua vitae and uranium."
Beatrice blinked at Tree. Tree used uranium in her alchemy?! That explained so much. She turned back toward Lilia and Gene. "Well, once something's done about Tree and Traitor Fox over there, we can get goin'."
"Stop calling me a traitor!" Ark whined.
"Looks like he's fine," Snowy said. "Kosumu, Tree's probably fine enough to walk by now. She heals fast with Todd's help."
Todd, as it turned out, was lying a good foot away from Tree's hand, and was flopping on the ground uselessly. "Yo, foo, someone help me out here!"

Sighing, Nutcase said, "So what do we do now? I'm out of ideas at the moment."
Clown Man then said, "Aside from getting out of here you mean?"
"Yeah, that's obviously the first thing to do." Nutcase said as he got Todd up. "After that...not sure."

Kosumu looked at the strange fish a moment, "Talking fish?" After the moment passed, Kosumu walked over to the fish and picked it up...
A thousand sensations went through the boy making him almost wince. However, it didn't last long since he quickly passed Todd onto Tree, whom likely took it when Kosumu handed it to her. Talim however, noticed the wince. "Kosumu?"
"Doom Energy..." Kosumu trembled. The Star Child got to feel Doom Energy thanks to coming in contact with that fish... And he didn't like the feeling it gave him at all. Kosumu was powered by the cosmos, he was usually a balanced figure, with both positive and negative energy. Regardless the energy he felt from Todd made him grateful that HE didn't run on it. It just felt too chaotic, too scary. With thoughts in mind, never to lay a hand on Todd again, Kosumu, ignoring Snowy, went over to Todd and healed him up within a few seconds (His injuries weren't really as severe as Tree's).
With that done, Gene nodded to the others. "Okay, we'll go ahead and get moving..." He turned to walk away... However, a thought seemed to occur to him... "Wait a minute..."
No-one had time to look confused at this, before Gene turned back to Tree, his headphones hanging from his neck. "Tree... Quick question. From what I've learned from Gantz's journal, he never had the chance to meet you personally..."
"Yeah... And?" Came Star Man from Metal's hand.
Lilia seemed to catch on to what Gene was talking about before the others did. "Well..." The boy continued, looking at the bat suspiciously. "If that's true... You mistakened me for bro. If you never met Gantz before you met me..." His eyebrow was lifted curiously, though his gaze was like ice. "How did you know what Gantz looked like?"
[This is playing off the fact that Tree had obtained that picture of Gantz from a guy with 'LOBSTER CLAWS'. XDD Trust me FF, Gene's brain has computer like enhancements, it'll take quite alot to get something past him.]

Tree frowned as Kosumu reacted to Todd's doom energy, but gratefully accepted him back. "If you don't like Doom Energy, then you'll wanna stay away from me and my friends. We're swimming in the stuff." It wasn't like she denied the fact. After all, she got all of her fighting ability, and literally all of it from him. She healed from her injuries using him. It was a wonder she wasn't a living mass of the stuff by now.
She turned as Gene addressed her. Snowy, who had gone back to gerbil form, floated over to Tree's side as she answered Gene.
"This guy with lobster claws sold this photo of Gantz to me in exchange for all my aqua fortis," Tree said. Beatrice and Taffy exchanged glances.
"Tree..." Beatrice started.
"...you..." Taffy added.
"DUMBASS!"
Beatrice slammed a fist down on Tree's head, and Taffy fired a couple needles at her, which she dodged.
"That was Him, you idiot!" Beatrice yelled.
"Wait, that was Gantz?" Tree asked. Snowy facepalmed.
"No, didn't you see that the 'h' in Him was capitalized? I think Him was that guy's name," Snowy said.
"Ohhhh..." Tree said. "Oh, wait, as in that guy who's after Gantz? Oh fudgebuckets."
"Fudgebuckets indeed," Snowy said. She sighed. "We should go, then. He might be hanging around."

Nutcase's face was glowing bright red, his face screwed over in anger in every way possible; comical anger, terrifying anger, and every other form in between.
"YOU IMBECILE!!!!!" Nutcase screamed, Tree backing away in suprise at the sheer force of the loon's outburst. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS BEFORE!?!?!?!?!?! HIM IS A DEMON SO VILE HIS REAL NAME IS TOO HORRIFYING TO MENTION!!!!! HE'S BEEN AFTER GANTZ FOR SOME REASON AND IS LIKELY PARTLY WHY HE LEFT US BEHIND IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Slimer was also uncharicteristically hostile at this moment, as he growled angrilly at Tree.

Gene continued to stare at Tree coldly. "May I see this photo?" When Tree brought it out, Gene snatched it effortlessly and took a long look at it... ... ... ...
"Lilia..."
"One step ahead of you, Gene." She took the photo herself... ... ...
Before it suddenly caught onfire in her hand burning to cynders in under three seconds. "Problem solved."
From where she sat, Talim looked at the two curiously, taken aback briefly at the photo burning. "Why... Why did you do that?"
A scoff from Lilia came, "That photo, plain and simple, was a tracker." She checked her fingernails before brushing off a cynder from her hand never minding how hot it was. "You're lucky Gene caught on to it, otherwise we'd be in a world of trouble."
Climber looked absolutely lost, though momentarily afraid that Lilia seemed to have power over fire. "Uh... W-w-what?"
An eye roll came from Starman at this. "That means, Climber, that Him is sneaky like a pirate, and he would've found us if we kept the photo."
"Not just that." Metal began, "But he would've found the perfect oppurtunity to learn everything we know. Everything Gantz knows. Why else play spy games? He knows something Him doesn't... Or maybe, he knows something Him knows himself, and doesn't know that Gantz knows yet."
"Gantz smart." Went Kosumu wistfully.
A nod was the response that was gained from the P.E.T.'s occupant. "You pretty much HAVE to be if you're fighting an evil like Him. Gantz has had more then his fair share of experiences, and has learned a lot from it. Despite all of that however, there are times I wonder what goes through that head of his..."
Climber shook his head. "I'm... I'm still not sure I do..."
