Battle on the Road

--I came in partway into the fight, but basically Antonio was trying to prove himself and got in a fight with Rusty. Things went downhill in a hurry.--

Antonio frowns, he quickly moves out of the way and holds his saber up and blocks the blade of the wildcat,he oofs as he falls backwards onto his bottom.

Rusty grins,he swings the blade down towards his legs, "I found this intresing and fun boy...but I grow tried of this."

Antonio tenses up in pain as the blade slices across his leg, blood pours from the wound as he bleeds, he goes to swing his saber at the cat again, aiming for his footpaws.

Rusty growls as the saber hits his footpaw,he goes to roughly kick the hare in the side and spins the blade and makes it come down towards his upper arm.

Antonio eeeps, he starts to move and the kick sends him rolling towards the ditch,he coughs and spits out dirt as he looks over at the wildcat,now he starts to get up to run, the blade cuts into his shoulder.

Rusty smirks with an evil grin, "You know I have missed this,..I am an assassin ya know hare, may of been told not ta kill ya but..who cares, I missed killing something last night"

Theo, a Male Hare comes from the south of Dirt Road.

Antonio looks up at the cat and glares, his shoulder and leg bleeding still "Ya won't get very far doing that chap.."

Rusty smirks "What kill ya, oh but I think I will...and be fun too"He raises his blade and grins "Goodby hare..nice fight by the way."He prepares to bring his blade down.

Tristan is out for a walk on the dirt road when he sees Antonio and Rusty fighting. He pulls his bow from his back, nocking an arrow faster than normal eyes can follow, "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Antonio closes his eyes as he isn't able to move very fast, and even if he could move slightly away he passes out from blood loss before he can decide.

As Rusty says those words, an arrow 'is' fired out from the distance, striking the dirt path just near the cat's feet. Theo emerges down the opposite end of the path, dressed in a dark brown tunic and a pair of black trousers. In his paws is a compound bow with another arrow notched. Along his shoulder is the symbol of the Knights displayed proudly in a gold emblem. The black buck lets out a clear of his throat, eyes narrowing.

Tristan is surprised by the second arrow, but keeps his eyes, and the tip of his broadhead, pointed at Rusty.

Rusty stops just above Antonio,he looks at the arrow and then to the other hare and the otter,he smirks coldly"Ya woodlanders always like ta take the fun out of things, don't ya..like last night."

Tristan nods, "And I don't have Flick here to stop me from killing you tonight," His words are cold as ice.

Antonio stays on the ground,eyes closed and still looseing blood, he doesnt look to wake anytime soon.

It does not seem that Theo is going to stop Tristan from doing such a thing as well. He simply motions with his bow towards the cat to back away from the otter. Making his way forward, his strong arm pulls the arrow back a bit more. As he grows closer, one can see that he is quite strong and powerfully set for one of his species.

Rusty chuckles coldly "Awww...de one fox?..a joke..but not ta worry,my boss will take care of him too."He looks at the hare and grins, and back to the otter.."Have ya all...come ta die?"

Tristan makes a step towards Antonio, his arrow still trained on the cat, "No, i've come to help my friend."

"Just here to serve and protect." Theo says with a deep rumble in his throat as he continues to motion with the bow. "Step away from the boy or I will put this through your heart."

Rusty grins,he waits till the otter is closer and makes as if he is about to back off, he answers "Step away from the boy...alright hare..but " he raises the blade"Didn'y say the otter" he slices towards Tristan with a lightning quick move aimed at his upper arm.

Antonio groans weakly, he is going in and out of his faint, blood still on his shoulder and leg, he is going to need a healer soon.

Tristan releases the arrow, which shoots past the cat's left ear. He makes an attempt to dodge, and is somewhat successful, as the sword only clips a small bit of fur and makes a slight cut. His bow clatters to the ground as he draws his twin dirks, slicing at Rusty in response.

Fwing! With practiced speed and good aim, Theo fires the arrow, soon snagging another one out of his satchel to notch it. He steps forward quickly, raising the bow up higher this time.

Rusty steps back and laughs coldly, the laugh turns into a gasp as the arrow sinks into his hip,the arrow from the hare, he growls in pain and this only helps Tristan to get a cut on his cheek,his eyes flash dangerously as he aims claws at the otters face now and slices.

Tristan once again almost misses it, but one of Rusty's claws rakes across his upper lip.

With his arrow buried into the cat's hip, Theo sends another arrow towards his back as he engages in combat with the otter. He narrows his eyes in a frown, keeping a bit of distance still, but close enough the attacks can impact.

Rusty growls,the arrow sinksinto his lower back and he loses his balance and falls onto the dirt road,he narrows his eyes at the hare.."Ya pay fer that one hare."He goes to slip out a dagger and aims it at the hare,he has yet to throw it though.

A couple rats come out of the gull and look over at the fight,they draw weapons ready to enter the fight if needed.

Tristan rubs a paw across his mouth, wiping the blood out of his mouth, he starts to walk around the cat, towards Antonio, but he keeps his weapons up in warning to the rats.

Antonio has slipped back into a faint,a deeper one now.

Rusty growls low as he watches the otter,he looks at the rats as they stay where they are as if debateing on jioning in or not.

"Stay down, and do not move." Theo commands the cat as he aims the bow once more, shifting his stance some. "By the order of the Knighthood, I am putting an end to this skirmish. Any further aggression will be met with your death." His eyes narrow at the rats that approach, his expression still tense. "And my brotherhood is within shouting distance."

Rusty narrows his eyes at the hare and growls low,he doesn't try to get up.."Knighthood?..my boss can add them ta the lists of beasts..to dispose of"

"Right, you do that." Theo says without fear in his voice. "That is if I allow you to go back to your boss, as opposed to putting an arrow into your head."

Tristan steps towards Antonio, wiping one dirk on the grass and sheathing it, "Your boss must have a mighty long list," He says over his shoulder as he crouches to pick up the wounded hare.

Antonio is picked up by the otter, still passed out and blood on his leg and shoulder from his wounds.

Rusty laughs coldly as he lays there, seems unable to get up"My boss is Bloodclaw the terror...ya don't want da mess with him...hee hehehe..he will take over these lands, maybe that dumb abbey too, already has the best prize ever"

"Ah, someone else who wants to take over the Abbey." Theo says with a slight snort in his throat. He @#!*% the arrow back once more and raises his brow upwards. "Otter, take the Buck to get treatment." He says, as if he was an officer of sorts.

Tristan raises an eyebrow at the order, but since it was what he was going to do anyway, starts to back his way down the path, his dirk still pointed at the rats.

Rusty watches the hare and smirks"The abbey will do what ever Bloodlcaw says...or risk thier beloved abbots death"

Antonio is being carried by Tristan now.

--Back at the Abbey Infirmary—

Tristan lays Antonio down on a bed, motioning for a nearby healer to come over.

Antonio is layed down and lets out a groan, a healer hurries over and tends to him best they can.

Tristan steps over to the bed, watching the healer tend to the young hare. There is some blood running from his lip and arm, but it's not serious. He reaches down and puts a paw on his shoulder.

Antonio groans,the healer tends to his wounds and after a little while steps back"Time tell now sir" the healer walks off leaving the two in the infirm.

Tristan sighs, wiping a bit of blood from his mouth, "Antonio, Antonio, what were you thinking?"

Antonio stirs somehow as he hears talking, but doesn't come fully awake, there is pain and his strength is low.

--And that was basically it--
