Akurle pulled out her sword and retreated to the top of the steps. Two of the monsters lunged at her, their claws outstretched. Akurle swung her sword, cutting one across the leg while the second one landed on top of Akurle and pinned her down, hissing and drooling. Akurle kicked and scraped at its stomach while holding its snapping jaws away from her face with her front paws. Suddenly, Felicity barreled into it, knocking it off Akurle. The mutant hybrid spun around and swung its claws at her face. One of its long claws made contact and gave Felicity a long scrape across her nose. She jumped back with one of her paws covering her cut, as the creature prepared to lung at her. Akurle grabbed her sword and quickly drove it upward, right into the creatures stomach. Black blood sprayed across her white fur.

The second creature suddenly lunged at Felicity from behind. She fell to the ground with the mutant on top of her, but quickly kicked the creature off and jumped to her paws. She swung her sword at the black, oily creature, which caught it in its claws and tried desperately to keep it from slicing its throat. Akurle got to her paws and tried to tug her sword out of the first creatures stomach. The second one, still struggling to hold Felicity's blade away from itself, swung its two tails at her and grabbed her legs in each one, the spikes on its tail digging into her skin. She cried out in pain, and Akurle immediately reacted. She gave up on trying to get her sword back and slashed the phantom mutant across the face with her claws.

The creature hissed and pulled back its two tails, but didn't let go of Felicity's blade, despite the sharp metal digging into its 'hands'. Akurle grabbed the monster and bit its throat as hard as she could. It made an unnatural, gutteral scream, and staggered backward. It lashed at Akurle's flank with its tails as she pushed it to the ground. Then, a slash from Felicity's sword and it was dead.

"We make a good team," Akurle gasped, wiping blood off her lips.

"Yeah, whatever." Felicity suddenly jumped backward, narrowly avoiding the jaws of another bone-thin creature.
