Fatalis heard barks and roars coming from the ruins. he barked to have the Lone Wolves get into the trees. as the barks and roars came closer, Fatalis realized it was Goldfang being chased by a Carnotaur. as soon as it went into the small tree covered patch they were hiding in, following Goldfang, Fatalis made a warcry and the Lone Wolves landed on the Carnotaur's back, hacking and slashing at it's tough hide. it camouflaged, but the serious wounds made it's colours flicker and exposed it again. eventually, it managed to shake most of them off, but Fatalis' killer claw was poised to strike right over it's neck. as he swung the claw, an explosion of blood came from the attacked area. Fatalis' claw had slit the jugular vein. the Carnotaur roared and started to run, with several Lone Wolves still on it's back, ripping at it's skin, but soon, exhaustion and bloodloss took their toll on it and it fell to the ground, dying. Fatalis barked for the Lone Wolves to continue attacking...
Needle and Ghost had arrived at the cave. they were watching from above. several frighteningly large mutant raptors were guarding the entrance. they were Utahraptors. they were part of the pack, under Midnight's command. Ghost and Needle heard a deep, authoritive bark, and the Utahraptors looked at the source, to the east of the cave. out of the bushes came a black raptor, with long blue feather quills coming from the base of it's head, and getting smaller as it went down it's back all the way to the tail, where it ended in a small, multicolour feather fan. it had amber coloured eyes, and white spots all over it's body, resembling the night sky. it's brow had small white crests, and it's eyes were surrounded by red. "Midnight..." hissed Ghost in awe and fear. behind Midnight came another, smaller pair of Raptors. one of them was pure black, with a swirling grey pattern showing on it's back. it had white quills on it's head. it's eyes were a rich amber colour. "Blackstorm..." hissed Ghost. the last of the 3 Raptors came into view. a black mutant with a dark red back, with the 2 halves split by a white stripe, like regular mutants. however, it had black teeth, unlike the other raptors. they looked razor sharp. it had black claws and a white quill crest on it's head, like Blackstorm. "Shadowfang..." hissed Ghost. they overheard Midnight bark an order. "I dont care what you do. make sure that Fatalis, Echo and all the other Lone Wolves are killed, otherwise i'll make sure you dont live long enough to taste flesh again. do you understand me?!". one nodded, but the other one hissed "Echo's one of our best fighters! killing him would weaken our..." it stopped abruptly. a pool of blood poured down onto the ground...and onto Midnight's black killer claw, which Midnight had somehow swung upwards into it's stomach. it looked at him in pure terror, and fell to the ground, dead. Midnight looked at the other Utahraptor and hissed "Do as i say, or else you will be like your friend here". the raptor swiftly nodded and lowered it's head in respect to Midnight. Midnight then entered the cave, which had a total of 7 sentinals. 3 by the entrance, 2 over a small ledge overhanging the entrance, and 2 on either side of it, hidden behind rocks and logs. it seemed there was only one entrance. Ghost hissed "I think it's time we left. better go before we're...". they heard alarm barks. they looked back and saw that 2 of the sentinals had seemingly spotted them. terrified, they were about to run, but then a loud roar came from where the Sentinals were looking. a Carnotaur charged into view, and the raptors charged out of the cave. they hadn't spotted Ghost and Needle. they had spotted the Carnotaur. in total there were 15 Shadowraptors. all of them looked like regular mutants but darker coloured. however, 3 of them stood out. Midnight, Blackstorm, and Blackstorm's brother, Shadowfang. the Carnotaur roared then disappeared, but Midnight charged at it, and jumped just before it did. He landed on it's head, and slashed at it's eyes. soon, the Carnotaur was blind and the pack attacked, and soon, all that was left of the mighty horned predator was a cold, dead corpse on the ground, being eaten by the pack. Ghost hissed "Time to go". Needle nodded and the 2 Lone Wolves sped back to the pack with fresh information to share...
Crusher had done a patrol of his territory, without any encounters other than Rampage, who was busy hunting. he headed back to where the Lone Wolves were, still thinking about the most effective ways he could take out the Shadowraptors...
