Ryu started when the strange lion hit the ground with a thud. This new lion was utterly disgusting to look at, not to metion the horrible smell that eminated from his dirty form. Ryu looked at Etti, who had Kuchan safe, and moved a little closer to her.
"Etti, what is that lion talking about? Whats wrong with you talking to me?" Ryu crouched to the side of Etti, defensive and ready for a fight, yet slightly submissive at the same time.
Kiuchan couldnt care less about the newcommer, he thought it was great fun to be under Etti's paw again. He simply played with her claws while she held onto him.

Etti tried to talk quiet to Ryu, her paw remaining firm on Kuichan under her, her senses still sticking to the lion near them.
"Ryu, I am relatively new to these parts, but I've found them pleasant so far. Perhaps that is because I am a lion. I've heard tell of some... 'specie-ists' in these parts. Perhaps this has never been a problem for me because I have always only associated with other lions. Remember those lions you told me about on the savannah who tried to hurt you?" She let her sentance finish itself, distracted already by the rising volume of the chuckling from the other near them.
"Aahahaha. Hahaha. New to these parts the lady lion says. Making friends with the wrong kind little girly." His sadistic smile turned into a sneer. Etti couldn't see it, but his words twisted in a way that she could almost tell what his expression was. "I don't like those other sorts. What are they, not lions. They're all funny. Aaaaaaahaha. They're funny looking, they're wrong. Otherbreeds, wrongwrong." His sickening words were interjected increasingly frequently with a rather manic cackle.
----
Etti glanced at Ryu. She herself had never had bad experiences with lions, but she did admit she had never come across another species before, and had never been in the company of another lion conversing with them either. She felt natural around Ryu and Kiuchan, as natural as she would around any animal, if the voice was kind and the words were sweet, the animal was good. Naive, and foolish at times, but that was how she worked.
Etti began to wonder if they were better to try and talk down this intruder, or perhaps to run. She felt Ryu beside her had assumed a position of defence, and so she herself lowered her frame slightly, but did not bare her teeth, or perform an aggressive manuver. She did not want to risk angering the male.
That however seemed a pointless ploy, as he muttered to himself, and seemed to be making himself more and more angry, tossing his head back and forth and hissing and growling frustratedly. He rounded again on the frightened trio as quickly as he had the first time, this time he did not keep his distance. He made a staggering gait towards them, stopping closer to them, enough that his heavy panting send foul breath their way.
Etti stiffened, feeling the movement, but aware it was not yet a charge or attack. "Ryu.....?" She wondered if perhaps Ryu had any ideas, although now that the male was closer nothing could be passed between them in words that the intruder would not hear easily.

Ryu tensed, the male lion walking twords them scared him. He could see that the male was getting angry, so Ryu went through all the things he could think to do.
What had worked for him in the past was sweet talking. Ryu decided to give it a try.
"I wish i wasnt a panther, Lions are so powerfull and so brave. Other breeds are so inferior compared to you. Lions are the peak of feline form, the most powerfull of the hunters, and the most intelegent of the felines by far. I wish i was a lion, and not a weak little panther."
Ryu hardley dared hope that this would help satiate the male, but it was worth a shot at the least.

ooc: ha! Perfect! Good answer, I wouldn't have come up with that. :3
The male lion turned his attention to Ryu, looking away from the female with the odd eyes. Ryu was talking, the panther was saying something. Panthers, he was standing near one, how filthy. Yet it was speaking to him, and words floated through his ears and a few actually landed in his brain. He paused to listen, and cackled when the panther had finished, his maw opened wide showing severly stained teeth.
"Aaaaaaaaahahahahahha hahaha, you are so true. Lions, me, I, we are superior in everyway. And you are such a little panther, pathetic like you are. Vile species, all these filthy little cats, they are not pure like we are."
The male turned, bounding away from the frightened trio slightly, taking leaps in small awkward shapes as he continued to speak. His actions were unusual and seemed to serve no purpose except for movement's sake. Or perhaps it was his failed interpretation of his showing off his 'wonderfully superior self'.
"Gorgeous gorgeous, lions so beautiful. So perfect, the epitome of strength and agility, yes yes. And you, you are inferior, weak. I am strong and brave, yessss. Aaahaha. Peak, peak, peak of feline form." He seemed particularly affected by that sentence as he rolled it from his mouth several times as if savouring the taste. He was clearly enjoying what had been said about lions.
----
Etti took the chance to glance over at Ryu, she felt incredible pride swelling in her towards him. She would not have developed an answer so quickly, and it probably would not have worked. He was incredibly clever. But now she wondered if perhaps they should run, or try to escape. How long the male lion would be preoccupied with his discussion with himself about the beauty of lions, was unsure to her.
"Well done Ryu!" She whispered excitedly to him, the male lion was still speaking in the background, his malicious cackling was coming back, and that sound made Etti feel increasingly nervous.

(hehe ty)
Ryu glanced at Etti, she seemed somewhat supprised that he could answer the way he did.
"Oh king of lions, you are very strong. Could you perhaps desplay your mighty stregnth and speed for us by killing an antelope? I see some over there by the edge of the forest, and it would be amazing to see a lion such as yourself in action." Ryu hoped the male would show off his stregnth, and maybe give him a minute to think.

The male snapped back towards them at Ryu's words, his body coming to an abrupt hault and and his manic eyes fixated on the panther. The mane of his neck flared around him in a tousselled manner, his pose was slanted, and his legs spread eagled across a large space. However his shoulders were pushed forward, and although he looked awkward, he also looked incredibly aggressive. This was not helped by the grin he crooked upon his mangy maw.
"A demonstration, my filthy little panther? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaa. Now, why would I do such a thing, an antelope, haaa? Ssssst. Hows about instead, yes yes instead I demonstrate my power on something a bit closer, hmmmmm little ones? First hand learning is of course the best, the best. Indeed indeed. Haaahahaaaaaaaaa."
---
Etti stiffened immensely, his words clicking very quickly through her overly receptive ears. The paw under which she held Kiuchan moved, but only to allow her to lower herself further over the small cub. She heard the footfalls first, and was fearful for Ryu at that moment.
The male lion had let out a cackling laugh, and a high shriek.
"I'll demonstrate my power on the next largest here, lady traitor!"
His movement was quick and skilled, he reached her in a few bounds, knocking her completely off her feet. Etti, as prepared as she could be without seeing him coming winced as she felt the mass of the gangly male lion hit her in his charge. She grappled backwards, loosing her grip on Kiuchan as her entire body moved.
The pair of lions crashed back to the ground with a dull thud, the male still cackling, Etti writhing and trying to fight back. His scent was so pungent it was almost overwhelming for someone such as her, her nose was an (at this point) unfortunately delicate feature. She felt the male back off for a moment, and took the chance to lift herself up. Worried for Ryu, she growled agressively, hoping only to keep the male lion's attention on her.
The lion himself opened his jaw, and let out a noise, somewhat of a roar, somewhat of a hiss. It wouldn't have summoned a pride, that's for sure. As she heard him move again, she leaned backwards, putting her weight onto her hind paws, using her front paws in a defensive manner. Either by sheer luck or an incredible feet of blind navigation her paws connected with those of the attacking male, and the stood for a moment, pushing against each other.
"RYU! KIUCHAN" Etti called, hoping they were okay and hadn't been injured, unsure of whether the pair might have already made an escape. All she could hear now was the frustrated and heavy breathing of her aggressor, as the pair of them stood in a momentary fuitile stalemate.
ooc: ugghhggh, I'm always really bad at fights. :\ It's a bit easier when it's my own characters, but I'm trying to not make either seem completely fantastic, although Metaro is by far stronger. Sorry for that piece of fail roleplay. xD

Kiuchan had been pushed into a bush, slightly stunned but otherwise unharmed, though he made no noise.
Ryu on the other hand had been untouched so far, and seeing a possible oppertuinty lept upon the distracted lions back, digging his claws deep within his mane, and possitioning himelf in such a way that no matter what the great lion did, he would not be able to touch ryu. And if the great lion tried to shake him off, Ryu would simply dig deeper.
He knew that his efforts were probably futile, but he also knew that he was stronger than most fully grown panthers, and only a little smaller than them. Living in the wild on his own had made him strong, and fast. Ryu knew he could not run and let Etti get killed by this lion, so he would try to distract the lion with his claws and fangs until Etti had a chance to run.

The male gave an unpleasant roar, a combination of growl, hiss and scream, all in one. Etti, could not tell what had happened, however she felt the force that she pressed against be lessened. Something had obviously distracted him, and she suspected that Ryu was being brave. In a suddenly wild attempt she flung herself forward, between the male lion's paws, aiming to take a bite somewhere, anywhere that might give them both enough time to get away.
--
A cackle rang out very suddenly, accompanied with a dull thud. Not to be taken lightly, the male lion had been twisting in an effort to get at the vagabond who had dared to jump upon him. Pathetic creature, trying, daring to attack a mighty lion such as himself? Never!
Something deep in the male lion appreciated the bravery of the welp, but he did not appreciate filthy otherbreed paws all over him. Tail and teeth lashing at the panther, he had almost forgotten about the female lion with whom he had been toussling until he felt her sudden movement. And idea, idea. Yes, hahaha.
That was when the cackle had sounded, his manic ignoring of the pain caused by Ryu who dug his claws deep into the flesh of his back. The male instead powered straight forward, paws idealy placed when the female lion moved, so that the one swift movement knocked her firmly and harshly to the ground, with the accompanying thud.
--
Etti went to make a noise, but the entire thing had happened faster than she could realise. She heard the wind rush past her ears as the heavy paws forced her down. The ground hit her hard and sharp, and there was a moment...
The sun was glittering. Gorgeous, beautiful. The savannah was alive in the glow of the setting solaris, and the peach coloured lioness bounded across it. She was moving at pace, but not fevoured. There was something light about her leaps, a joyous exultation in life, perhaps. The sky above rippled with purples and orange, the long grasses golden, the sun, warm, comforting, amazing. Her acid green eyes scanned the scape, drinking everything in. The tiny black spots of birds swooped and glided in the perfect sky above, and a gentle rain blew in, it sprinkled the warm landscape, and the lioness giggled merrily. Her laugh became hearty and full, estatic even.
Then the laugh changed, as if the rain were a storm. Darkening and sinister, the giggle of innocence had turned into a vile cackle, laced with malice.
--
Metaro, the male lion, laughed, a high, disgusting pitch. The female lay on the ground, she had gone quite still. killkill, But surely she was dead. Those acid eyes were a dull teal, and she didn't move as he pressed his heavy paw onto her. However, speaking of paws...
The little wretch on his back was making an awful hassle. Those claws digging in, getting to be quite a bother really. Rearing backwards, in an attempt to reach the panther behind him, the foul creature snapped and bucked, trying to reach him. He sure had gotten a good spot, frustratingly enough out of reach.
"Come down, little welp! Let me take you, like your kind. Hurt hurt. It's easier." His voice disgusting and dripping with desire for nothing more than to rid himself of the panther, the male burst again into peals of laughter, as if he were witness to some side-splitting joke.
ooc: Just thought I should say not to worry, Etti's not dead. :3 But it makes for a more dramatic read! XD She's deeply unconscious, she hit 'er head! It was also the only way to get around him actually seriously injuring her. :P
Also, sorry for taking so long to reply! Uni and projects got a bit in the way! ^^

(hehe im gonna have to start spacing my replys a bit too, ive started sellin art and quite a few people have been interested. im so swamped lol)
Ryu couldnt beleive it as he watched the maniacle male lion hit Etti with such force that she appeared to be dead. Ryu's anger flared as he glanced around for sign of Kiuchan. The little leopard was nowhere to be found, hopefully he had escaped the wrath of the lion.
Ryu ran through his options, which were few. He didnt want to leave Etti behind, left for the lion to do what he wished to her, but then he also knew the lion could kill him easier than he killed her.
Ryu looked around him, trees everywhere. But could the trees provide protection? This male could climb a little at least, but was there a tree he couldnt reach. Ryu spied a tree with a small opening at the base, which could be the entrance to a hollow base. Ryu bunched up and launched for the nearby tree, squeezing through the entrance, which was just barely large enough to fit him.
He crawled up as far as he could, and noticed that the top op the space was a small opening, enough for Ryu to see the male lion below him.
