The sharp snap of teeth rang through Rad?s ears as he lunged to one side. The crazy lycanthrope kicked up a trail of dust as it skid to a halt. It crouched low and let out a long growl. Rad turned to face this opponent slowly and took a few steps backwards. Eighteen quickly sidled up to her companion, flexing her muscles and preparing for the next strike. Dexter sized up the two targets. His wolf-like face scrunched up in a disconcertingly humane expression; possibly confusion. It sniffed at Eighteen, then at Raditzu, then screwed up its face again. The two warrior?s exchanged brief glances as this demi-beast sized them up. And, of course, as soon as they did, Dexter sprang into action.
Though the distance between the combatants was decent, the beast traversed it in no time at all. Raditzu and Eighteen both shot in opposite directions, leaving Dexter to come, once again, to a skidding halt. The werewolf took only a moment to consider his options before lunging after Raditzu. The bulky saiya-jin obviously seemed like a more filling meal. Dexter?s claws raked against the dirt road as it scampered after Rad. The saiya-jin shook his head after looking back to see his pursuer. Letting his legs tense, the saiyan took a small hop before launching himself through the air. He hit the top of a two story building and turned to face the stunned werewolf. Dexter obviously had not expected his prey to leap to the top of a building.
?You ok, babe?? Rad called from the top of the building. Eighteen had come to a stop when she realized she wasn?t being chased.
??Course.? She gave a small wave.
The long-haired saiyan looked down to the werewolf, and was quite shocked to see the beast scaling the side of the building with its claws. Dexter dug into the building, braced himself, the launched himself upwards. With a graceful slip at the top of his leap, the lycanthrope hit the roof of the building directly in front of Raditzu. Dexter?s claws raked against the front of Rad?s armor, producing a series of sparks. In the limited moonlight, the sparks illuminated the werewolf?s fangs with sharp flashes. An admittedly troubling sight, to say the least. Raditzu hopped backwards, avoiding a second strike, and leapt to a neighboring rooftop. Dexter was quick to follow. The man-beast possessed a remarkable kind of agility, and its hunger was not leaving room for playing around.
?This little guy sure isn?t messing around, is he?? Rad asked no one in particular as he danced away from another series of slashes.
In the darkness that had fallen over the asteroid, Rad hadn?t been able to get a good look at his surroundings ? a monster trying to rip his throat out didn?t help, either. As he stepped backwards, his foot caught a hole in the roofing. Already moving at a steady pace, the saiyan was unable to keep himself from tumbling backwards. Dexter was quick to take advantage of the situation. Before Raditzu had even hit the ground, the werewolf leapt, fangs bared. The long-haired warrior raised a forearm to protect himself, but it was unneeded. A bolt of light streaked across the rooftop, shattering against the beast with a loud crack. Dexter was hurled from the rooftop and the dull thud from below signaled a hopefully unpleasant landing.
?Need some help??
?Heh? guess so.? Rad looked over to see Eighteen approaching him. Even in the darkness he could see her mocking grin.
The androidess didn?t wait for Rad to pick himself off the ground, she was too eager for something to punch. She cleared the rooftop with a quick leap and hit the ground gracefully. Rad walked to the edge of the building and took a seat, letting his legs dangle off the edges. Though normally more prone to taking an active roll in a fight, the saiya-jin decided to just sit back and let his partner handle things. She was certainly more than capable of dealing with something like this.
As he thought that, Eighteen shot across the ground, quickly closing the distance between herself and Dexter. The wolf-man had risen shakily to its? paws, but had not been expecting the woman in front of him to take the offensive. The android?s first blow came in high. Her knuckles cracked against the creature?s elongated jaw. Stepping forward, Eighteen followed up with a stiff knee. As Dexter stumbled backwards from the blow he raked forward with his claws, catching no more than a bit of fabric. Shuffling her weight, Eighteen quickly measured the distance between herself and Dexter before snapping a leg outwards. A low wimper could be heard as the kick propelled the lycanthrope off its feet and sent him sprawling along the ground.
?Hey, babe!? Rad called to get her attention.
?Yeah?? She kept her eyes on the downed beast.
?I think you killed it.? Rad examined the prone body of the werewolf. From Rad?s perch, he couldn?t see any movement.
?That thing better not be dead! I was just getting started!?
Luckily, for 18, at least, the creature slowly began to stir. With shaky limbs, it climbed onto all fours and turned to face its attacker. It would be logical to assume that after having been rendered immobile for several moments from a single kick, most people would know when to back off. Dexter, however, didn?t seem to follow that particular school of thought. He scratched at the ground, in a style similar to that of a bull preparing to charge, and his eyes took on a glowing sheen. Snapping his teeth, Dexter lunged at Eighteen.
OOC: Feh? two down.
