THERE'S GOING TO BE A WAR ♡ TYPHOON RAID

[wormwood.]

NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — It was rapidly becoming clear that the Coalition was not going to win this fight. Members of the rotten group were dropping like flies all around him, whether it be to his own claws, his groupmates, or the Typhooners. They were becoming more and more outnumbered by the moment, and that brought a feeling of joy flooding into the lion's chest. He was glad to see them failing, after so much time thinking that they were invincible. With a snarl, he dug his claws into one of the nearby Wanderer NPCs, grabbing onto them and slinging them violently into the nearest tree. As a satisfying crack filled the air, the angel was then distracted by a burst of light from nearby. Turning his head, he saw faint flashes of electricity rising up from the bunker, rapidly pursued by Rox and her family. It had to be Goldie. Aurum considered helping out, but ultimately realized that he had his own people to worry about. Roxanne would never allow any further harm to come to Goldie, and there were Tanglewood people in the bunker that had been missing for some time, including Eternal. It was the only place that it made sense for Stryker to hold him, and others. So, taking a deep breath inward, the lion roared, "Tanglers! Continue holding up the line with The Typhoon! If you can't kill a Wanderer outright, drive them back!" With that taken care of, the male then took off towards the bunker, slipping down inside.

Immediately, the scent of decay and rot filled Aurum's nose, causing the former proxy to growl faintly as he sped up. He prayed that Eternal was still alive, and had not yet fallen victim to whatever injuries had surely been inflicted upon him. Once he reached the cages, the lion let out a breath of relief as he saw Eternalknight. It was clear that the feline was far from alright, but at least he still seemed to be breathing. Upon hearing Goldie's soft words reminding the others of Eternal's presence, Aurum spoke up, "Don't worry, I've got him. The rest of you focus on Goldie." It would be significantly easier for him to handle Eternal on his own, considering the size difference between the both of them. Slipping his way into the cell, the angel nosed lightly at Eternal's shoulder, being careful to avoid the other's wounds as he muttered, "Sorry to disturb you, sleepyhead. But I'm getting you out of here. You're one of us now, remember?" He offered the other a small smile, trying to provide Eternal with a bit of comfort even in his current terrible situation.

With his thin tail twitching behind him, Aurum spoke apologetically as he leaned down to grip Eternal by the scruff of the neck, "Sorry, this is probably gonna hurt quite a bit..." He didn't want to disturb the other's wounds, but there was no other way to get him out. Lifting the white feline up as slowly and as gently as he could, Aurum twisted around to carefully place Eternalknight up on his broad spine. As he headed for the entrance to the bunker, he spoke firmly, "Hang on the best you can... I'm gonna go slowly, but the last thing we need is you falling off." He then began the trek upwards, moving slowly as not to disturb or displace the other. His final destination would be Moth's house, knowing that not only would it be a safe place for Eternal to be patched up, but his sister would have the knowledge to do so.
