[Stryker]

The aura of the environment delved into chaos quickly. From every direction, shots were fired. As tradition, the first attack was towards the lion himself and Stryker hadn't expected that attempt to come from behind. Elongated teeth sunk into his backside, causing his head to whip behind him and a vicious growl to rip out of his throat. His back paws jolted upwards quickly, attempting to kick the polar bear's head in with unsheathed claws. Whether or not his attempt was successful, he would bolt forward to gain distance between them.

Thankfully for him, the Kingpin managed to dart away from Roxanne's attack also. The feline was unable to even grab at his delicate fur. Even so, the attacks still came. A screech from above echoed into his perked ears and his slitted eyes shot up into the sky. Metal-tipped arrows glinted in the moonlight, catching his attention. His paw slammed into the ground harshly and summoned the earth upwards, forming a wall to protect himself from the arrows. When finished, he took the remaining stone and gestured outwards. The stone morphed into clean spheres, aiming to hit Sophiea's wings and knock her out of the sky, hopefully leaving her to the wanderers below.

Turning back to his former opponents, his eyes widened as the feline before him transformed into a massive dragoness. Before [member=218]ARGUS[/member] could get hit by Roxanne's sharp stones, the lion used his earth elemental to redirect them and attempt to impale her in turn. While the rest of the stones aimed for the dragoness' chest, two in particular aimed to stab through the pirate's eyes to render them blind.

The lion had no time to act before the enemy turned towards his beloved. Her jaws had already wrapped around the beautiful serval's body and crunched downwards. The cracking of bones echoed throughout the area. Crimson remains seeped out from the dragoness' teeth and from the remnants of his lover. Stryker, not missing beat, shot forward. An involuntary roar left Stryker as he darted towards Roxanne instantly, his eyes beginning to water as the wind howled against him. Her words never registered with Stryker. The anger building inside the Kingpin's mind consumed him, disregarding all other priorities before him. Rage surged through his body. His blood boiled, wanting to end that dastardly beast before. Fury rushed throughout him as the male powered forward with the ground trembling underneath his paws, ready to kill at all costs. His blood-stained teeth bared and his unsheathed claws outstretched towards his target. He was doing this for her. For his family. Ninazu, his only mate and mother to his children, would be avenged.
 
The ground below rumbled one last time before ripped upwards. Compressing together, a large boulder formed and charged towards Roxanne's head. With all his might, he pushed the large stone forward and aimed to chuck it downwards onto her head. The attack was a blatant kill shot. If successful, her skull would shatter and brain would collapse on into itself, ending her life promptly. Even if she had died in that moment, the lion still continued on. He wouldn't stop until every last bit of her diminished before him. The remaining rocks below quickly traversed forward towards Roxanne's legs and would attempt to wrap around her feet, pulling her down and keeping her fastened into the ground. This would also help Diego's vicious attack, allowing him to potentially grab on and leave large gashes. Like always, the family fought together. The more against this larger target, the better.

The floor beneath the lion shot him upwards, aiming to land on top of the dragon's back. Once successful, he'd jump towards the island-dweller's left wing and try to rake his claws down the membrane in an attempt to cause tears and holes throughout them, ultimately leaving the dragon unable to fly. Whether or not he was successful with the first wing, he'd land on the floor once again then jolt back up towards her back and attempt to do the same to her right wing.
