Only a few days ago, Bucky arrived at the Ascendants border with Marina as an ally. Bucky thought they would get a long, long break from the Ascendants with the neutrality. But then the Ascendants had the audacity to not only murder one, but two Sunhaveners! The Ascendants made it loud and clear that the state of neutrality wasn't going to stand. The former assassin silently made his way past the border, the first time he crossed it in the times he visited. Each step he made was with the most delicacy- he was like a ghost. Sneaking into areas he shouldn't be in was a specialty of his, he has a lot of experience of it under his belt. With his enhanced senses, Buckingham and his patrol behind him followed scents of a group of Ascendants members- who patrolled earlier in the day. The scents were beginning to fade, but it was enough to lead the Sunhaveners to the observatory.

Stepping into the quiet, dark observatory, Bucky looked over his shoulder to his clanmates. His eyes blazed with determination and vengeance, ears flattening to his skull. Eyes blinking, the tom mouthed a single word to his clanmates.

Attack.

Without another word, the male proceeded to venture further into the observatory, eyes scanning for any rooms with slumbering members. His metal claws flexed on the floor, the former assassin ready for a battle.

"Visitors?" The kitsune was quick to appear in front of the Observatory with the rest, looking a bit too gleeful at the prospect, for multiple reasons, the sliver of worry she felt, and guilt, quickly being washed away by the feeling of excitement about something that had been ingrained in her from a young age to be good. There were just some things that were simply too broken to fix. Deep down, she still only truly thrived in battle, even if now she tried to hide from this fact.

Pupiless eyes settled on Buckingham and the others, the thoughts about how this was her fault, most likely, even though for once it wasn't, and anything else besides fighting being pushed out of her mind. She didn't need any distractions, that was clear, with the amount of Sunhaveners here most likely not here to trick-or-treat. It was much too early for something like that. She half-considered shifting now into a dragon, but then again, it might be unfair to her opponent, wouldn't it? It would simply depend on who she ended up engaging in combat with. "I say that they're idiots for doing this. First they drop us to neutrals, then decide to attack us in our own home?" She muttered to Ren, before calling, "HEY! If you're gonna be sending signals on whether Sunhaven sees us as neutrals or enemies, make them a bit less mixed, mister!" Like Ren, she did like to taunt the enemy, and it was clear she would do so as much as possible.

Too angry to think, too angry to care. Rage fuels her movements and she barely even cares when the observatory lights up because it's already too late for them. They've infiltrated them and who knows where the other Sunhaveners are currently. Her ears are pinned back against her skull, her jaws pulled up in a snarling grin that shows her large and venomous incisors. The hellhound was very well pissed off and there was nothing but that fire burning in her gut, deep regret that this has come to pass but she couldn't trust the Ascendants anymore not after what they had done. She'd tried her best to talk to them, tried her best to work this problem through and when they continued to insult and try to make the act of accusing one of her own for murder and his attempted murder a joke the straw broke their backs. It was not something she could forgive. The neutrality was a gift, she didn't see them as enemies but someone to distance themselves from. Yet, even as she had parted ways with them it seemed they had become disturb. Angry at her choice of their separation.

To come to her home, to come into her village and murder two of her sunbearers was an atrocious act that she couldn't and wouldn't forgive. After everything that had happened the Ascendants had the means and motivation for committing the crime and she wouldn't stop till they were on their bellies, fighting for their last breathes. A loud snarling howl left the beast, a heinous cry that lifted up into the beginnings of the fight as sounds of battle so distant began from the other side of the Observatory. "Yae'll pay for what ya did. I swear it." Her eyes were locked on [member=1549]moonmade[/member] then, gaze widening as she stared at the lion before suddenly she was rushing at him. Thick muscles rippled underneath cream and tan, paws hitting the ground hard before she lunged though her body curled at the last moment a paw aimed to slam and grab onto his leg attempted to twist and jerk it and make him fall to the ground. If that worked she would then slam her paw against his throat hard aiming to dig large teeth into the smaller feline's shoulder and shake her head to tear muscle and flesh like paper.
