Atbash wanted to make things right between The Pitt and Snowbound. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't aware that this likely wouldn't be so easy to do. She knew that Stryker had ran off here, though she had no idea he had conspired with the leader of this place whenever he attacked Izuku. She wanted to talk to their leader and make things right, and that's what made her seek out The Pitt. Atbash heard the warnings of this place, but her mindset was Surely nobody could be worse than Caesar?

So Atbash waited at The Pitt's border, hoping that their leader would be the first to approach.

Honestly, Caesar's motive were solely revenge-driven. He believed that Atbash 'betrayed' him when he needed her most, claiming that he needed her support during his attack on the King and his Court. But when she pulled out of the plan - since she was originally part of it, that's when he claimed she betrayed him. Atbash knew that was the reason he was attacking her, because of how she 'betrayed' him. Sure, she had been there for most of his life, but killing everyone just because he wanted to be King... That wasn't something she could support.

It wasn't hard to notice Stryker, and Atbash's heart skipped a beat as she realized who was approaching her. The she-cat narrowed her eyes as the lion came over, her body tensing up a bit. "I've come to speak with your leader, actually." Atbash spoke, silently praying that Stryker wasn't said leader. It honestly wouldn't surprise her if he was, but stars, was she hoping he wasn't.

As Stryker slowly moved forward, Atbash pinned her ears back and tried backing up as much as she could, sensing that trouble was going to happen. She could practically taste it and her whole body was screaming at her to leave, but she couldn't. She was near an enemy's border, in addition to Stryker being in a much larger body than the one she possessed. Stryker would probably have no trouble running and catching up with her. "D-don't -" The Hailcaller stammered out a warning, though her words held no meaning as Stryker went after her. His large paws easily held her down, and no matter how hard she wanted to struggle underneath him, she couldn't. As the lion grazed her cheek, she froze in her struggling and let out a growl, "Let me go," Her words didn't come out as strong as she wanted them to, and you'd think giving her previous experiences, she'd try to do something more, but she just simply couldn't. She had no training in self-defense whatsoever, and her instincts could do nothing if she was already pinned down.

Everything about this was wrong, and Atbash was sure Stryker could practically taste the fear that was radiating off her body. Atbash tried to move her head back as much as possible as Stryker moved his own forward to hiss in her ear. As he spoke, the she-cat could feel shivers go down her spine, and she barely had any time to react as the hybrid lion opened his mouth and got a hold of her neck.

Instinctively, Atbash tensed up at the movement, numbness shooting through his body (which was a sign of pain for her, since dream demons couldn't exactly feel 'pain' in a traditional sense). That didn't mean Stryker's attack didn't succeed, because slowly Atbash felt her entire body go numb, which was strange, because he just her neck. Atbash tried to open her mouth to speak and cry out, but she found herself unable to. "What did you do?!" She aimed to send that message telepathically, her voice in a frantic scream. She was horrified, absolutely terrified by what was going to happen. And not just for herself - for Snowbound, too, because clearly he was still wanting to do something with them.
