Ina nodded. "Well when we get back, do what is needed.. tell everyone, rally them all, whatever..." Ina smiled, putting her trust into the lioness. "I'm putting you in charge of this 'attack', okay?" She turned to look at the lioness, waiting for her reply.

Sitama nodded readily, trying hard to conceal her eagerness to get started. "Yes, Ina, I'll lead them." She then turned away from the pride leader and fell back with Lorien, a smile on her face. "Did you hear that, Lorien? We can finally do something about these enemies...Ina has given me permission to lead an attack!" She grinned openly at the thought, hoping some of her enthusiasm would reach the younger lioness. "You'll be joining us, I assume?"

Lorien heard as Ina told Sitama that she could be the leader of the attack. She was happy for the elder lioness, but not so much for the idea. She didn't think that rashly starting a war was a good idea, yet she figured that the older lionesses had better judgement than she. When Sitama fell back to speak with her, she thought a moment, then smiled. "I'll join you...if you think that it's what's best for the pride." In her heart she really didn't want to go and fight, but if this is what was going to happen, she was going to stand by her pride no matter what. If they were going to go to war, she was as well. She looked in the direction where the other pride supposedly resided and wondered if Chaza was there. She then shook her head, getting the thoughts away from her. She then looked back to Sitama with a grin on her face. "Tell me what to do, oh leader!" Maybe this would allow her to try out her abilities on the battle field and get a chance to meet new lions, even if they were said to be her enemy.

Sitama had to smile again at the enthusiasm of the younger lioness. At least someone would support this effort. And if they found Chaza at the Feragan cave, perhaps it would shake Lorien out of her little "dream world" -- the male seemed to have had a strange effect on her.... "First things first, Lorien: we'll get home and rally the other lionesses. Then, onward to where the Feraga pride lives, and the Great Kings be with us."
She wondered absentmindedly if Ina would be joining them, as well. "Ina made the right choice in letting me lead," she said, "but it would have been better for her to lead us; that's what she's in charge for. Don't be too sure that she's truly supporting us, young one." She shook her head, hoping Lorien caught the note of caution in her voice. "She may not be working entirely...in the best interests of Burja." She feigned a surprised look, then. "Oh, my goodness, I shouldn't even be thinking such things. Forget I ever spoke, Lorien."
Then she walked away, laughing to herself, and plotting out her strategy for the upcoming battle....

Xena smirked, she had no attacker on her..but that would have been cowardish anyway. Attacking an enemy from behind..not that she wouldn't...but still.
She however did know that she was being followed, she kept her same pace, but a males voice rang out.
"It would be safer just to talk, before...things happen"
She sniggered, and kept her pace the same, coming towards earshot of her Fellow Pridemembers who were still sat at the cave like she had ordered.
"Dont Threaten me boy..."
Now reaching Sumai and Zalira, her menacing smile still on her muzzle as she looked at both of them, before stopping and looking back over her shoulder.
"Not till you know who you threaten.."
Her eyes glancing to the other Lioness and Hyena pair that seemed slightly bemused..at least they had sense, she thought.

Stardust watched calmly at what was happening. The lioness had gasped when the black one had appeared out of no-where. Now, the black one was discussing with the male lion.
"Dusty..."
Stardust's thoughts were disturbed by a faint whisper from the creamy coloured lioness beside him.
"Should... Could we just... go?"
Stardust turned his purple eyes to the lioness momentarily, shaking his head slightly. The lioness' ears flattened again and she glanced nervously at the other two lions. A faint sigh escaped her muzzle as she sat down. The hyena smiled at her, turning then to the black lioness.
"Excuse me..." he started, lowering his head a bit in respect.
There was something in this lioness' behaviour that made Stardust feel she was in a rather high rank at her pride, assuming she did belong to a pride that propbly lived here.
"I'm sorry if me and my friend have trailed to your lands and such... We mean no harm to you, or to your pride. We just happen to be a couple of wanderers..."
The cream coloured lioness lifted her blue eyes to the black one, showing still slight hints of nervousness. She glanced at the hyena from time to time, but returned her eyes to the black lioness rather quickly.

A red-maned lion fluttered his eyes for a moment as he lay in a cave just waking up from a sleep. It wasn't usually for him to sleep in during the days he wasn't forced awake. He noticed that everyone around him was gone and smiled to himself as he had the whole cave to himself. Rare moments like these that I try to soak in as much of the time that I can... Turning his body over so that he was facing away from the sun, he scooted slightly over to where his back would hit the light, warming himself slightly and smiling as he dozed off the sleep once again.

Chaza knew that to attack a lioness from behind would only make him look stupid, cowardly, and weak, but he had to admire the courage of a lioness who would purposely leave her back exposed, just to see what he would do. He listened carefully to the words of the hyena. Weakling.... Apologizing for her poor reception. Not that he would have been more welcoming of strangers, if these were his lands, but caution on behalf of the other party was nothing for one to feel badly about. As the black female rejoined her two companions, his instinct again was to grasp his powers and attack, to take them all out before it was too late, before they turned on him; but, as he kept reminding himself, he was outmanned, and would inevitably come out the lesser in any confrontation. But if they kept playing him for the fool....
"And now it's my turn to speak," he said abruptly, and not too kindly. "If you'll hear me out, milady," he finished with a mocking sneer, waiting for some reaction from her or her pridemates.

Sumai's eyes had narrowed significantly as Xena had approached, been exposed and returned to her base. She was followed by one of the intruders, yes Sumai saw them as such, another black lion... The red lion had now identified the other two as well; a hyena and a lioness. They seemed rather hesitant to follow though, so they clearly weren't with the black fellow.
As they had approached, Sumai's stance had gradually changed and he now stood in a definite defensive position, but ready to attack and defend any time. The tail with its long black fur swished back and forth impatiently and the dusty brown paws stood far apart from each other, every muscle in the powerful body ready for anything. The fiery orange, black-dipped mane swayed slowly in a sudden breeze and the lion's piercing green eyes almost glimmered with determination. No matter what stood before you, defending your pride was the most important thing. Sumai's father had taught him that, and those were words he followed, at all costs.
Now dogged he stood there, just waiting for what would happen next.
Such was the warrior's fate.
OOC: Yay! I posted! =D

Ina watched with a plain face as everything around her was happening. Although there wasn't actually much happening to watch. She hated wars. And she didn't see the reason to start a war. But she would rather defend her pride and create enemies in other prides than to create enemies in her own pride. She heard some of Sitama's and Lorien's words. Lorien was happy to join in the war if it was what was best for their pride. As Sitama walked off, Ina slowed down so that she was now next to Lorien. "Listen Lorien. I know that you don't like fighting.. and neither do I, But Sitama seems to think it's best for our pride. And well she is kind of 'second in charge'. If i can state so.. " She paused not sure of what she just stated, but continued anyway. "I would prefer to make enemies with others who are not in my pride, by protecting my pride and it's future than making enimies with those who are in my pride, my friends, who i have to care for." She said and looked at the grey lioness, hoping she understood the whole situation. "And if the war does go ahead, i will be along side you.." She paused. "Well.. not along side you.. as i will probably be up the front fighting, as I am the leader of our pride..." She laughed. "But i'm sure you understand my point.."
___________________________________________________________________
Zalira saw Xena returning. But she was with three others. A black lion, a creamy lioness and a. "A hyena?" She mumbled to herself slightly confused. She took a step forward, ready to protect her prides home, and the members that were here.. all three of them, including herself. She grolwed slightly, mostly directed at the lion. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Next thing she knew she was a bird. She flew up into the air and landed on the black lions nose. She stared him in the eyes. "What's your buisness here, buddy?" She asked and poked him on his nose, which she was still standing on. She then flew off his nose and onto the ground infront of him, before returning to her normal shape, as the lioness with the vine wrapped up her leg.
( yay!! that's my first long post in... uh... umm.. a while! ;D )

(Go Kanu! and Saf!! ohhh and we got Fire now...exeeeelent, in honor i will post big-ish ^^)
Xena Came up in between Her pridemates, right in front of the cave entrance, she halted as an odd voice seemed to be referring to her, She looked over her shoulder as the Hyena had perked up, looking right at her..he clearly was addressing her..the manner he had spoken in certainly was the correct one in such company. Looking to Sumai with raised eyebrows, before turning back to face the pair who were behind Chaza.
"Wanderes are welcome.."
She was cut short by Chaza's "And now it's my turn to speak"
She Glared at him. Hearing his mocking tone and ignoring him..he was a fly on the back of their massive force and if he wasent careful He would end up being treated as Otana. Her view slowly going back to they Hyena and Lioness behind him.
"Come on over...Respect is a lost trait around here....." her voice trailing off as she heard a stir in the cave, poking her head in to see Fire dozing from the light of the sun, raising her head to block its heat from his back to try wake him up.
"Fire! Get up!"
She snarled, not wanting others outside to know, especially the newcomers to know of their un-prepared state. Now bringing her head back out the door, flustered that his pride could have been in danger..and would have slept right through it....However her Anger quickly subsided when she saw Zalira Fluttering of The Lions nose to form in front of him with questions. Zalira never failed to amuse her.
"Nothing her to worry about then" She muttered to Sumai "Just wanderers...but keep your ears perked...especially on him" Keeping her voice just between the two of them, nodding quickly to Chaza who seemed to be right in Zalira's face. "Could be spying....not heard from Otana in a while...i dont like things this quiet"

(OOC: Hehe Cova. You're getting the other pride war RP mixed up. So I asume Otana = Burja)
Lorien was with mixed feelings. She respected and looked up to both of the lionesses, but they were of different opinions about things. She didn't know who to believe or who to follow. Shaking her head slightly, she smiled back at Ina. "Of course I understand." She looked forward, a heavy sigh escaping her muzzle. "When did things get so complicated?" She hurried her steps and tried to keep up behind Sitama so that they could rally the other lionesses. This is what they were going to have to do, as Ina said, to keep peace between their own pride, and she was going to help as much as she could.

Ina smiled at Lorien. 'She's going to be a great leader one day...' She thought to herself as she watched the lioness catch up with Sitama. "Sitama.." She called out to her. "When you are ready to leave.. and go battle, let me know." She said and simply nodded her head at the lioness.
_____________________________________________________________
Zalira was still standing her ground, right infront of the black lion. She didn't really care about the other two wanderers. Somehow she knew they wouldn't pull anything on her. "Well?" She asked the lion, still staring him in the eyes.

(OOC: I've got a question about this RP that needs discussing before we start a battle. I'll update the other thread in a moment.)
Sitama didn't bother listening to the words of Lorien and Ina, knowing that whatever Ina said would be contrary to her opinions. But, that mattered little.... If it came right down to it, Ina would let someone disagree with her rather than trying to dominate them; Sitama was not burdened with such moral qualms, and she would do whatever it took to remove the threat to Burja and its survival. So thinking, with a satisfied smile on her lips, she neared the cave and prepared to address the lionesses.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chaza snapped at the "bird" that landed on his nose, eyes narrowing at the distraction, and when the lioness that was her true form appeared before him, speaking things that he didn't want to hear, it demanded a reply. "Close your mouth, young one," he said quietly, but with deadly implications, "or I'll close it for you."
His eyes darted furtively to the others around her for a moment; they were mostly her pride brothers and sisters -- and who knew which side the other wanderers would take? -- but he was not in the mood for reasoning. "As for my business, there's no reason for me to tell it to the likes of you." His lips parted in a sneer; a curse on peaceful talk! Chaza had long since lost patience with this pride, and only there numbers kept him from losing his temper, as well. And it was only a matter of time before that was gone...he might well come out of a fight severely injured, if alive at all, but he would be sure to take two or three down with him.
He took a step back, addressing his words to the whole gathering. "You are all fools, lions of Feraga -- I've seen that proven time and time again, even in the short time I've been here. Greater fools, even, than the Burja pride. And there are certain members of that pride" -- his thoughts flashed immediately to Sitama, the over-aggressive lioness; what she would not give for news of her sworn enemies! -- "who would give much to learn your weaknesses." He smiled without warmth. "And I've a mind to tell them." His heartbeat felt like the pounding hooves of a stampede, but he raised his voice and continued.
"If you want to live to see another day, it would be wise to converse with me. Otherwise...." He left that hanging in the air, mostly because he himself did not know. Burja would surely not welcome him back after the little scene he'd caused, but there was that one lioness -- Lorien -- he'd find companionship in her, if the need or desire arose. For now, he waited for a response of some kind from the (no doubt enraged) Feraga pride.

Fire's eyes snapped open as he heard Chaza bark an order at him, growling low and then rolling his body over. It wasn't nice to interrupt him in his sleep, since he was considered 'cranky' in the mornings. "Jeez-la-wheez.. Let me sleep.. It's not like there's anything important going on..."
He rolled his body over once again to face the back of the cave. He had heard of war being brought on within the prides and thought that war was nothing but an excuse to let out excess horomones. Making his tail flicker slightly, he tries to resume going back to sleep, the yelling and shouting nearby making his attempt difficult along with the thoughts buzzing through his head. The thoughts were mostly anti-war and the make-peace kind. Why does Chaza and Xena always want to be aggresive with everything?... Especially at a time like this.. I bet that none of the others want to go to war... Even if I asked others from the other side... It's pointless, really..

Xena...then lost it. Chaza had said at least 50 things very very wrong with that statement, she saw red and barged past Zalira seeing a flicker of shock in the Lions eyes she pulled her paw back and brought it crashin down on the back of his neck, sharp claws pushing his neck down until his muzzle hit the dirt floor, holding him there tight.
"NO ONE DARES! SPEAK LIKE THAT ABOUT THIS PRIDE!....YOUUU WANNA GO BACK TO THOSE SODDING MISERABLE BUNCH OF LIONS THEN GO...COME BACK AND YOU WILL BE KILLED ON SIGHT"
Releasing her paw and steeping back to let him rise, eyes looking over to the hyena and Lioness pair....hopefully that had tought them sumthing aswell.
"Now get out..."
She snarled.

(OOC: Lol, so they're "sodding" now...next it'll be "w***k**s.")
Chaza was too surprised to resist being pushed to the ground, face in the dirt, but he quickly grew angrier and angrier, nervousness replaced with a cold rage for the stupid lioness. "Now that was a mistake...." he said as he stood up to face the pride. "You'll learn a lesson today, ma femme." Chaza smiled....
...And the ground nearby exploded, chunks of earth hurtling upwards only to crash back down again, rocks flying at the Feraga group -- he purposely avoided the lion/hyena tandem, not wanting to hurt them if they weren't his enemies -- with lethal intent. A wind sprang up out of nowhere, blowing them backwards, as Chaza gave vent to his pent-up frustration. "It would have been better to talk," he said quietly, almost in a whisper, a cold smile playing on his muzzle as chaos ensued around him. And, of course, the pride would not take kindly to being attacked...prides never did. But it didn't matter anymore.

Zalira snarled. "I would like to see you try..." She mumbled to herself. She was about to take action, but Xena seemed to have taken this step already. She watched as Xena yelled at the lion. Then the earth started rumbling and pieces of earth flew up in the air. She concentrated hard, her eyes focusing on the earth flying around in the air. A big gust of wind swept up to the rocks and blew them in the other direction, away from everyone. She growled and concentrated even harder this time, althought her eyes were closed. She heard all the comotion stop and opened her eyes. She had succeeded. She had stopped time, once again. A smirk appeared on her grey muzzle as she started to approach the lion once again. She knocked him onto the ground and put a paw on him. She was about to give him a permenant scar when she saw he already had one. "hmph.. serves him right.." She said coldly and took her paw off his body. She walked away from him, to where she was previously standing and closed her eyes, making time resume.

The lioness gasped in shock when pieces of ground suddenly were lifted on air. Her eyes widened in shock she took a step backwards. Stardust looked at her worriedly, seeing that she was trembling in fear. The hyena turned to look at the pieces of ground, feeling a sudden gust of wind that blew them away from the lions belonging to the pride.
This is not good... Stardust thought, shaking his head slightly.
Then he saw something increddible. The angry male lion was suddenly lying at the ground and the lioness who had caused the wind had appeared to another place. Stardust lifted an eyebrow confusedly. What was this lioness' power?
"D-dusty..."
Stardust turned to look at the lioness behind him. He saw she was afraid, ready to run, ready to panic. He gave a quick glance at the lions, turning then to the lioness.
"Lets go..." he said. He knew it would be best for her. The lioness let out a sigh of relief, her eyes still focusing on the black lioness before she turned to follow the hyena. She glanced back at the other lions momentarily as she walked. Stardust, however, didn't seem to care about them anymore. Why should he have? He was a hyena. And as a hyena he had got used to angry looks from lions.

As the three approached the Burja cave, Lorien looked to Sitama. She would allow her to do all of the rallying. She didn't think she could add or say anything that would make anyone want to go to war. She was too young and innocent to make ideas like that seem possible or even plausible. She would just sit back and wait until she was ordered to do whatever Sitama wanted her to.

Fire had just been nodding off to sleep when he heard a commotion outside, sighing softly and turning himself around to see what it was. Much to his suprise, what he saw was rocks up in the air and the look in Xena's eyes.. the look to kill. And it wasn't on the breakfast menu, either. Now Fire had a reason to get up. It was one thing to rage war on other prides, but to fiht from within the tightly-knit unit that was the pride, that tugged his heartstrings.
Getting up quickly, his body was a little weary from sleep, that being dealt with after a few seconds before emerging out of the cave. One moment, he saw rocks flying up in the air at the fighting pair, the next he saw Xena on the ground with the rocks still in the air. That.. can't be? Xena was overtop of him. There was no way that she could have been knocked down. "Chaza! Xena! What's going on?... Why are you fighting each other?!"

(OOC.Juust in case you were a little confused fire. Chaza is a wanderer And aint in our pride ;D)
Xena had taken a step back before the ground errupted, a piece of earth she was standing on flew up from under her feet sending her flying backwards, landing and skidding into the cave entrance, dazed for a moment she looked up to see the earth had been pushed back, presumably by Zalira, she snarled, her teeth slightly red, from a wound on her muzzle, she shook her head and got up bumping into Fire.
"He was given a warning!! Now he'll PAY! don't just stand there!"
Her view still slightly blurred as she focused on being un-seen, now walking right towards the wall of flying debris, crouching and waiting for a chance to jump through having to shout her next words due to the extreme noise that was surrounding them.
"Zalira! Clear a path!"

(OOC: Fire, Chaza's not part of your pride, and it was Zalira who was fighting him, not Xena. It does get confusing.... ^_^)
Chaza had felt the slowing of time, but there was nothing he could do as the lioness forced him down; it was a strange, surreal feeling, as if his mind had become separate from the body it inhabited. All the worse for her that he was still cognizant of events around him. When the illusion -- unless it was more than illusion? -- had passed, he sprang from his fetal position, clawing the lioness' face viciously and drawing back his bloody claws. "I don't like gimmicks," he snarled, face contorting with anger. "Now you'll pay." He shoved her back with both paws, pelting her ruthlessly with earth and rocks. Sprawled on the ground, she was not his primary threat, now.
Turning his head, he met the eyes of the black lioness who led them; a dark rage burned in those eyes, a killer's eyes, a deadly anger for all who crossed her. The same fury was reflected in his own eyes, he guessed. Chaza roared his frustration to the heavens, his wind power amplifying the sounds until anyone within many miles could hear. The Feraga pride would pay for their insolence, and he would see that they continued to pay -- if there was a Feraga pride left at all when he finished.
A cry from above caught his attention -- a lioness leaped from atop the communal cave, claws extended towards him. She hit Chaza in the midsection, pushing him back, but not toppling him as he braced his leg muscles to meet the assault. Concentration broken for just a moment, the barrage of telekinetics ceased. Chaza whirled, jaws clamping down on the struggling lioness, who pelted him with smaller objects -- another mind-mover? He didn't release his grip until the struggles ceased...permanently. This meant war -- he might lose out, but it didn't matter much at this point as the world turned red before him....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sitama strode proud into the cave; she had chosen her words carefully, now was the time to use them. Voice raised to catch the ears of the resting pride, she began. "Sisters of Burja, listen to me! Today, we strike against our enemies, the Feraga pride, to drive them from our lands and secure our future. Ina has chosen me to lead the assault, and we must move quickly, before word of our coming is spread." She glanced back at Ina and Lorien, just entering the cavern. "Awake, prepare yourselves, and victory will be ours!" she finished with just a touch of the dramatic -- she had waited for this moment, and now it was upon her, she did not intend to waste it.
"How do we know they're enemies?" one lioness, obviously just waking from her cat nap, asked gruffly. "Yeah, why should we trust you?" another demanded.
Sitama scowled. She hadn't anticipated resistance to the idea. "Which would you rather do, fight or starve? That's your choice, the only choice, and I know which one I'll take." She gave each a meaning look. A terrible roar split the sudden silence, coming from the distance. "You see? They will attack you first! What is your choice?"
Sitama smiled thinly as a few began to nod, murmuring amongst themselves. Soon, the entire pride was behind her -- her, not Ina! -- as she led them towards the Feraga pride, and the battle she was born for. "What did I tell you, Lorien?" she said quietly, a note of her triumph in her voice. "All it takes is the right leader...."

Stardust and the creamy lioness had walked quite a way from the other lions. The seemed to head off to no certain direction, just like those who are wanderers. The lioness still glanced back from time to time, seeing now how a some sort of a fight had begun.
She flattened her ears, turning to look forward.
"You ok?" the hyena beside her asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Yea... I think..." was the lioness' reply.
After a moment they stopped. It was still quite hot. The sun was shining warmly... Too warmly.
"Want to hear a story?" the hyena asked, trying to get the lioness' mind away from the lions they had met a moment ago.
The lioness lifted her head.
"Yea... Sure..."
The hyena smiled.
"Once upon a time... There was a-"
But before he could properly start, he stopped speaking, standing up and gazing into the distance. The lioness lifted an eyebrow and turned to look. To her surprise, she saw a large group of lions, a group that looked like a whole pride. They seemed to be moving.
But they weren't the same lions they had met, not lions of the Feraga pride.
The lioness stood up, watching the lions come closer. They hadn't yet noticed the two wanderers, but soon someone would. And what would happen then?
Stardust or the lioness didn't know...
They could only watch and wait.

Post by Lorien on Feb 26, 2007 23:25:53 GMT
Lorien listened as Sitama rallied the other lionesses of the Burja pride. She was almost glad to see that some seemed to have the same feelings that she did, but then again, Sitama had a point. A good one at that. Sitting near the cave's entrance, she listened to the speech and watched the reactions of the other lionesses. They were convinced by Sitama's words, just as she had been. Though she still didn't want to see this escalate into a war, she didn't want to see her and her pride starve. This was something that needed to be done for the benefit of her family and she would stand alongside them when they reached the Feraga territory.
When the speech was over and they quickly began to head from the cave, she walked alongside Sitama. The elder lioness spoke to her, triumphant words. Lorien smiled and nodded. "They seem very eager to do this." She thought back to the roar that had interupted the speech. Were they already rallying as well? Did this mean that Chaza was a spy for the Feraga? There seemed to be sounds of commotion as they got closer and closer to the border of their lands. Lorien was begining to get a bit nervous. She had never faught another lion before, and had only used her powers when hunting. She looked to the land before them only to see a pair of creatures she did not recognize. Turning to Sitama, she whispered, "Uh...do you think they're from Feraga?" She motioned toward the two with her head. It seemed to be a scared looking lioness and a...a hyena? Yes, that's what he was. She wondered at what these two were here for and whether or not they were enemies.

Sitama peered into the darkness of the coming night...was that a hyena beside the lioness? That was a new one, and certainly something to think over. But not right now. She looked at Lorien for a moment, then motioned the pride to stop its advance. Turning to the approaching pair, she frowned, prodding them with a mental paw. Whatever their abilities might be, they stood no chance against the entire pride, but she didn't want to waste time on them, either...unless they were from Feraga. That was a possibility she had to consider before going on. "I don't think so," she whispered back, "but we'll have to make sure."
"And you two are?" she said bluntly. "You have a full pride against you, so you may as well speak. Otherwise, you'll be in worse shape than Feraga is about to be...or are you from them?" Her glare said that they had better not be.

Ina rolled her eyes as Sitama's speech. 'She sounds like a maniac.." she thought to herself. 'I hope i'm doing the right thing..' She thought worriedly to herself.

Zalira didn't make a sound when Chaza reacted. She hit the ground with a thud. She rolled over and stood up, retreating next to Sumai, Xena and Fire. 'He will pay big time for that..' She thought to herself, rubbing her cheek with her paw gently. She thought to herself, blocking out her surroundings.'Yes! that's what i'll do.. that'll show him..' She decided. She looked up, waiting for her leader to make a move, before she made hers.

As the flying masses of earth and various debris came towards him, Sumai ducked and dodged to avoid them. A small rock hit him over his back and caused a minor cut, but otherwise he made it unharmed. The lion snarled, retracting his lips to reveal a tremendous row of pearly whites, and glared at the black newcomer. He was definitely an enemy now, and would be treated as such scum.
The fiery red lion came to a halt once the ground had stopped trembling and rose to his hindpaws, almost like a rearing horse, "Move!" he roared before crashing down on all fours again, sending out a minor shockwave of fire from where he stood. This made sure no one came too close... While the earth cooled off slightly Sumai sat on his back legs again and, while holding his front paws in front of himself - one above the other -, concentrated at an invisible spot right between them. In less than three seconds the lion had created a small fireball and he aimed carefully before releasing it by seemingly pushing it forwards with all his might.
The General did not have time to stay and see if the projectile reached its target, but turned around in the same motion and was by two steps inside the cave. "Up! Up you all!" he shouted at the still dozing members of his pride. "Now!" Then Sumai again disappeared out, finding Zalira, Xena and Fire still there. Zalira had made her move, probably by stopping time again, but now had an ugly wound on her chin. Apparently that black one had returned the favor... "My lady!" the lion shouted at Xena, he could barely see her due to her power of invisibility, but he knew she was there. "What shall we do?"
Sumai glanced up the caves again and found a few warriors on their feet. Good, they hadn't lost their hearing yet... Still, he felt it unnecessary to rally them all for only one enemy. "Stay where you are!" he ordered. "If there is any need for you pathetic creatures, we will call for your aid!" "We cannot risk anything..." the General thought "We must be able to hold our grounds against one foe..." Still breathing calmly despite the effort, Sumai got into battle stance again. Where did this guy come from?

A Fireball whizzed passed her head, its broke through the wall of debris and hurtled towards Chaza, She Roared as she saw Him Clamp Jaws shut on One of her Lionesses. She was unable to give direct commands to her Legions of warriors, blind furry taking over as all she could say was.
"I Want him dead!"
Xena roared out to anyone in earshot, diving through, still completely invisibly and sinking long sharp claws deep into the Lions Back as he held his jaws Shut on a limp Lioness.

(OOC: I'll wait for Kirsui before replying with Sitama's point of view.)
Things were moving quickly now. Holding the dead lioness in his jaws, Chaza hoped to intimidate the rest of the pride into backing off. But it didn't work, unfortunately: a fiery-red male sent a ball of living fire straight for him, at the same time as he felt invisible -- but dealy sharp --- claws stabbing into his back. And now they were rallying more forces...this was not good.
A roar escaped Chaza's mouth, one of pain, not anger; an unseen attacker was not easy to fight off. Dropping the dead carcass, he had the presence of mind to summon a small wind, enough to dull the fire's strength, but it washed over him still, causing throbbing pain, if not permanent damage.
He had to do something about the devil on his back; the black lioness. Chaza spun and bucked, trying desparately to throw her off, and failing to dislodge the claws, which seemed planted in his skin. With a low growl of rage, he toppled over backwards, slamming his full body weight onto the ground -- and the attacker, if he had succeeded. Standing painfully and swiping backward with a searching paw, he smiled, feeling it connect with something. But more were coming, and the result could only be bad for Chaza. Unless he could think of something fast....
