Enethar whipped out his knife, grinding his feet into the dirt: stance that said he was going to hold his ground and never back down. "Get to the tank. I'll hold him off," he said. He could read an opponent by their moves. Whoever that was, he was going to come at them.

"Got it..." Alice backed up and made a break for the tank, taking the moment to glance back at Enethar and the man. But with every glance back, she staggered and nearly tripped on a small object or the dirt itself. She sighed and just tried to tell herself that Enethar was going to rid of this guy, and it was going to be alright. // The moment Alice had made a break for the tank, the assassin dashed forward, carrying a knife with one hand, and was holding on to something else that was out of sight and under his cloak. This was his only chance to eliminate Alice from the equation, so the man completely ignored Enethar and ran after Alice, readying the hidden weapon for the strike.

In a flash, Enethar took off as soon as the man charged forward. No way on earth was he letting him touch Alice. Their determination was unequally matched. That man didn't even hold a candle to Enethar's inferno. He barely missed the man as the assassin dodged around him. At the last second, Enethar threw his arm out to trip him.

The assassin gasped in alarm, not expecting the speed Enethar had, and with that the assassin nearly tripped, but he staggered back and aimed his knife towards Enethar, glaring at him. So the pet was going to be a much bigger pain after all... The man thought as he studied Enethar closely. This was his only chance to hit Alice before she got into the safety of the tank. Killing her wasn't going to do. He had to go with option two. He jumped back and drew out a pistol, trying to aiming it past Enethar's figure as he attempted to take a shot at the fleeing Alice before she reached the tank.

Enethar dashed forward and into the path of the shot, then forward so he was charging at the assassin. He stabbed his knife into his left shoulder as he ran, biting back a sound of pain. And then he disappeared in a ball of fire, emerging as a flaming phoenix. Screeching, he slammed into the assassin, digging his burning hot claws into the man's chest.

The assassin let out a horrible scream of pain that sounded neither human or animal as he struggled to free himself from Enethar. He twitched violently for those moments as he shifted into his dragon form. He roared in Enethar's face as he snapped out at him, trying to get the flaming bird off of him. He even raised his claws and began to lash out a the giant flaming bird. However even with all of those efforts, every single move he had hurt even more than the last, even dragons who can breathe fire could still be hurt by fire of another. // Around this time Alice had made her way to the tank, looking over at the brawling between Enethar and the Assassin. She hadn't noticed that she felt a tingly pain on her shoulder somewhere and he reached around to try and see what it was. Maybe it was just a torn joint? She wouldn't know. Alice felt weird, tired, and worried as she looked at the tank, then back at the brawl.

Enethar shot up into the sky, a glowing piece of sun against the dark, clouded sky. Then he free fell back, burning brighter as he fell. He dove straight into the dragon's mouth, burning his way through his throat as he went before reaching his stomach. He burned himself hotter to combat the fluids in the dragon's stomach, turning it all to steam.

The dragon couldn't scream or roar in pain because of the unholy amount of pain and death was erupting from his body. Finally the dragon's eyes rolled back and he toppled over to his side with a loud violent thud, and with that the assassin kicked the bucket. // Alice had seen the entire thing went down and watched it with awe. She wasn't horrified but it was sure something she was most likely never see again. She got that queasy feeling again and almost fell forward, but caught herself and looked back over towards Enethar.

Enethar burned his way back out of the dragon's throat, extinguishing the fire around him sot hat he was nothing more than a fire colored bird, though definitely larger than an ordinary avian. He swooped down and landed on the edge of the tank, scattering feathers around him as he tucked his wings close to his body. He began to glow again, and his body shifted and twisted as he returned to human form, ungodly gold light seeping through as if through tears in his skin. Quickly enough, he was back to his human self, amber eyes tired but still sparking fiercely. he held out a hand to Alice to help boost her up to the top of the tank so she could get in.

Alice took a moment to take in the epic transformation, but eventually she snapped out of it and took Enethar's hand. She wanted t say thank you for murdering the assassin in all the glory of gore, but she was just speechless now... and also feeling queasy still. She hadn't noticed but her face was beginning to pale only slightly, and she looked abruptly sleep deprived within seconds. Yet she didn't really notice anything.

He gripped her hand tight and pulled her up, taking her by the other arm as well to even out the lift. Once she was on top of the tank, he looked around them to check that none had been alerted by the fight. Thankfully the machinery was loud enough that he could hardly think let alone hear a battle. He looked back at her. Seeing her pale face, he reached out and held the side if her face, looking her over carefully. Deciding she was alright for now, he let go of her and motioned for her to wait. he climbed up to the hatch and pulled it open, slipping inside to adjust the controls.

Alice waited for a moment, walking towards the hatched and looked in. "... Enethar?" She asked, calling over the noise. "You looked concerned for a moment. Is there something wrong with me? I'm feeling a bit... queasy..." She admits. Alice sat down on the tank and waitied for the moment. She looked up ocassionally to see if someone came by, saw the dead body and went ape shit and all, then go looking for them. She kept getting that paranoia and then turned back to the hatch, anxious. "... Are we ready to head out?" She called again.

Enethar poked his head up out of the hatch. "Come on in, master. Everything's set now." He dropped back down inside, since he would need to be out of the way for her to get down. It was a rather tight fit after all.

She nodded and hopped in, looking around and immediately feeling claustrophobic in the tank. "... Hey... is it me... or is this tank feel... smaller than it looks from the outside?" She asked awkwardly, looking for a place to sit down and try to get the queasy feeling away.

"It's definitley smaller than it looks," he replied. "You can sit in the gunner seat there. I'll take the driver's seat, master." He was already sitting in it, since he figured he was the only one here who knew how to drive a tank. Hiro Kyoba 12: one of the latest, but not a foreign model to him. The controls were very basic and reflective of the earlier Hiro Kyoba models he had driven in training before. He flicked multiple switches and cranked the gear shafts over. Orders came through a little radio, and he grabbed it, barking back replies in a very different voice, reading things off a clipboard on the floor next to him. He set the radio back when that was done, leaning back in his seat. "We will be underway in ten minutes," he said.
