The sound of thumping paws echoed in his ears. Stryker's head whipped around, spotting the king cheetah darting towards him with a fury. The lion expected them to jump towards him as his haunches were lowered, but his expectations were thrown aside. Her jaws parted, revealing a white flame. The flash of color caused him to launch himself a few feet away as the heat of Elswyer's radiated from afar. Unfortunately, some of her dastardly flames managed to lick the back of his hindlegs as he darted away. With every step away, his legs stung. The Kingpin winced, but wasn't willing to let the cheetah go down without a fight.
A vicious hiss left him. This nobody wasn't going to take him down any time soon, especially during his big moment. Before attacking, he momentarily considered his chances. With her speed, Stryker would need to catch her severely off-guard. The Kingpin narrowed his gaze, zoning in on the cheetah. Given time, the lion darted forward with his teeth bared and jagged claws unsheathed. His haunches lowered to the floor and launched himself into the air, aiming to jump onto the cheetah's back and slam her into the floor. His claws would dig into her lower back and head while his teeth snapped vigorously at her backside. If unsuccessful, he'd slide off to the side with a growl. Next time.
