Salukie was hungry and tidus hadn't been home in hours on end.She growled as she paced the whole yard.

Insanity wondered where her brother and sister were and where their owner was. She whined as she followed her mother.

After dropping Ben off at the hospital, Tom had been designated to pick up the two fighters that Tidus left behind.

Striding up to the house, the older man unlatched the back gate and entered the yard. He didn't have a club with him, but he did have a pistol - just in case. "Here doggies, time to go to your new home..." He called out, in a humorous voice that matched his usual personality. Tom could be a serious guy when the time called for it, but he was generally more laid back and somewhat of the jokester.

Salukie was probably one of the most prized fighters alived having won three fights. One with a croc alligator, one with a wolf/dog and one with a wolf/dog and lynx o some kind of cat. She soon turned and snarled baring her fangs menacingly. She only got along with tidus. She snarled madly and raised ehr tail.

Insanity:She stoped behind her mother and looked up at the male and just stayed behind her mother.

"No need for that, Fiesty." Tom said, putting his hands up, as if Salukie could understand. Closing the gate, he circled wide around the mother and son as he headed for the back door of the house. Finding it locked, Tom used the butt of the pistol to smash the glass. Reaching in, he unlocked and opened the door before going inside.

Several minutes later, Tom came back out, finishing off a peach that he had found in the fridge. He had a package of hotdogs in his other hand, which he tossed to the dogs. "M'ght s'w'll eat 't." He mumbled through a peach-stuffed mouth, seeing as the food would spoil otherwise. Tom then returned inside, looking for anything useful.

Saluki snarled menicingly at him and then ate all but three hotdogs leaving the rest for her daughter.She approached teh door of the horse and barked ad snarled.

Insanity she ate the hotdogs.

Tidus old club was usually by the door along with salukie's papers.

There came a sudden deep snarl from behind "unless this is a rich man's house I sujest you leave" Robin Hood was standing at the gate, huge, perly white fangs bared. His pack was in the alley way behind him.

When Tom reamerged from the house, he had a packpack with him, stuffed full of money and other goods taken from Tidus. "What, you still don't trust me?" He scoffed, speaking in a tone of mock surprise, as if he were talking to people. "We'll do this the hard way, then."

Having gathered two leashes with him from the house, the older man picked up the club and headed for Salukie first, "Now, how do you want to do this? He slowly extended the leash towards her, but had the club ready to bash against her head and knock her senseless if she tried to bite him...

She bared her fangs snarling but didn't attack knowing full well what the club was used for. She was tidus priced possestion and very high fighter worth alot.so who ever this guy was was lucky that she hated the clu.

inanity snarled at him but didn't move from her spot.

Much Snarled and walked towards the small group "I guess you did not here me...Unless this is your house I sugjest you leave" he glared at the human, no fear in his eyes, His oversized body and muscles ripling with each movement.

Just after he slipped the collars and leashes on Salukie and her daughter, Tom turned his attention to Much. "Well well, look what we have here. I'm sure Ben wouldn't mind a third fighter."

Tom was cautious with having three fighters around him, although he was sure he could handle Saluki and Insanity with the club. Much, on the other hand, he wasn't sure of. "Alright big boy, you can go easy like these ladies have, or play it the hard way." The older man raised the club slowly, taking a step towards Much to see what the wolf's first reaction would be...

She growled and whimperd as he raised the club to the other.Fool just leave! While you still canShe whimpered

Saluki growle.

Much smiled at the human's stupidity. He crouched low to the ground, his oversized body and muscles ripling, he would be ready if the human was dumb enough to even try to hit him with the club. He let out a deep and menacing snarl. He looked to the other two. "I am not afraid of a meeger human with a club, I have been fighting all my life"

"so have I stupid mutt. That club hurts badly if hit . Humans are stupid like you think either"She snarled.

Much laughed he was not mean, he was just there to protect but apparently theses three did not know the true power and agility of the wolf. "fool" he snarled then looked back to the human.

Silvertan comes into the clearing and watches Much. "There you are, we sorta got a terra now, got through to him I did...Oh" Silvertan finishes.

Silvertan stares at the club "I was just saying......I see your busy I'll just." She was stopped with eagerness to watch what happened next. "You sorta must runn, I mean I know how much agility we ave, but uh, umm we are cunning, but I suggest we use that cunninnesss onnnn runninng aaway" She shudders, telling Much. She looks at the club getting closer. one side of her face goes up in a scared motion. She backs away. "I really do see you ARE busy mister human, buh I really goh' to get back to breve ridges, starting a pack ye know!" She knows the human does not understand, but she tries.

"To tell you the truth i think we should go, I mean I'm hungry" She hesitates "Then again...I am always hungry.." She looks at everyones faces as she rambles on, everthing has seemed to stop. She suddenly bursts out "I think i'll just shutup." She then snarls at the human and comes closer.

Much stepped infront of her putting his full body between her and the human "no, I will meet you later, go" he growled athorativly at her, swishing his tail at her. "you are not as experieanced as I" he gestured to his pack "the food is where it was before, take the pack and go"

Silvertan stood there, a bit cross that he undermasted her but oh well, maybe the pack would favor er into it if she took them along. Silvertan turns to go then turns back just her head though "Really can I take the pack?" she looks at much's face. She scampers off just before the club hits her head, she manages to bite the humans leg, and injure him a bit, for extra effect she claws at his face and gets his nose, she then tells much "I'll look after them" Then she runs off, after all who'd want to fight that guy? She ran off where she and the pack were not visible to Much but he was visible to them. They all sat down and waited. They got a rabbit for each one of them and then sits down, like children watching a movie eating popcorn. Their eyes were wide open.Silvertan sorta wished at that moment flak was there....

Much growled he got the feeling she wanted Flak there, that traitor and killer, no, if Flak came he would tear him to shreds, he needed no help. "Gaurd my pack with you're life" he howled after her.

Flak followed Silvertan back to the residential areas. He got back just in time to hear the last part of their conversation. "Guard your pack with her life? So your pack is more important than her life?" He asked jokingly. He stayed out of sight of the human. Oh how he despised them...

Much snalred at Flak "You know that is not what I meant, I will deal with you in a moment" he growled then continued waiting for the human to move.

With Saluki and Insanity secured, Tom had all the confidence in the world that he could take on Much. After all, he had captured La Refugia del Valle, one of the most notorious wolves in the Valley. However, when two new wolves showed up, Tom got wary. He was skilled in handling canines, but he knew that his skills could easily be trumped by numerous canines. "Woah now, easy there." The big man said, taking a step back and using his club to shield himself from Silvertan's attacks. Slowly, ever so slowly, Tom backed towards the door. That way, no wolf could circle behind him.

Keeping the club raised, ready to swing at Much if the wolf attacked, Tom dug in his pocket with his other hand. Taking out a cell phone, he pressed a few buttons and held the device to his ear. With his eyes trained on Much, he spoke quickly, "Hey, it's me, Tom. Almost... well, I've got her and the daughter. Well, there's three wolves here now.... Yeah.... I'm just saying, it might take a while.... Say, why don't you send Steve down? ...Scott? ...Sure, which ever, I don't care. Just send one of them. ....Ok." Clicking the phone shut and stuffing it back in his pocket, Tom focused his attention on Much, though not so much that he wouldn't notice the other canines if they had a go at him.

Likeing all humans the young wolf pup came up and stood between tom and the others and she bared her fangs.Back off you lowlife'sShe snapped her jaws angerly.

Saluki seeing her daughter do this made her move to stand beside.Back off All of you your on my land and i am a fight and i will not hesitate to take all of you out!She snarled.Though she wasn't in perfect condition still healing from her last fight against a linx and another canine.

Silvertan peared round the bush with her nose.She called over to Flak "The pack..are not MY life and seeing that OUR pack didn't multiply we could do something to multiply, but sadly I wouldn't do that..yet.." She moves her eyes over to him.

"Ummm, Much? Y' know you said guard the pack with my life, that means I would have to guard it from rabbits!" Silvertan looked at him "Ohhhh I see, from humans.." Silvertan stands up and atches Much. She whispers over to Flak "Growling won't solve anything!" She smiled.

Flak smiled at Silvertan before coming in sight of the human and his wolves. He looked at much and narrowed his eyes. "Why must you make every battle into your own despite others' orders?" He asked in an annoyed voice. "Leave the human and his canines alone. Stop sticking your nose into everyone's business."

Much snarled "I am only protecting, it looked like the human was breaking in and I will not allow that" he looked back at the human, watching the club, he competly ignored the two standing infront of him.

I will protect my own home, Now leave before i kill you!She snarled.

Insnaity growled.

"well it seems you are not doing a very good job of it seeing as this human is taking you" he laughed, not taking his eyes off the human.

Shut your mouth beast Your pathetic little life is sorrowful

she growled.

"My life?" he laughed again, "you do not deny me?" he continued laughing, then looked back to the human.

Silvertan layed her head on her paws. " You lot are turning this fight into a rather funny thing! You two are guarding your home...not very well , you've been caught, and Much, well he is acting he wants to be hit with the club, wiggling his tail like one sort dog. Oh and Flak..well he is just enjoying what he sees" She rolled over onto her back "And me, I'm just sorta guarding a pack, who at this very moment are half laughing and half eating rabbits! But to be honest I suppose those two there, were guarding their home then they...well I supose...they" She rolled onto her paws again and yawned and stretched and added "Well you two who were guarding, you got caught, and I can say this enough, you blew it!" Her eyes narrowed as she focused on Flak. "Umm Much? Don't listen to them, cause you just to your eyes off the human and so he could have...you know" She smiled at him. She then looked back a Flak. Then much "Much, just keep your eyes on him, and you to at the back " She focused her eyes on the two caught. " You just be queit" She looked at their faces and then added "For your information, that was an ipion on your lives" She focused her eyes back on Much, then Flak, which one should she go with?

Hilary walked past a bush, or two she did hear growling from her neighbour's neighbours house. She walked past seeing a man with a few canines aroud him. She stoped and walked back. "What are you doing with that may I ask, dear sir" She asked the man. She was worried more about the wolfs than the man..., he was endangering himself and them. "If you are planning to hurt that animal, I will not let you do it!" She said stoutly. She looked at the wolfs, and then steped forward, more over to a silvery female, she nodded to her to make sure she knew she was no harm.

While he was backed against the door, Tom eased the slider open with one hand and stepped quickly inside. He didn't have to go far into Tidus's house before he found another collar- this one a choke leash. Stepping back outside, he held the leash with a loop at the end of it.

Keeping his eyes on all the wolves, Tom moved slowly forward, trying to get the looped end of the leash arond Much's neck... and if the wolf were to try and bite, Tom had the club held high and ready in the other hand. And he still remained close to the house, so as no canine could circle around him. This old guy was no fool when it came to handling canines.

"Not let me do it? Ma'ma, I'm only rounding up my pets." Tom replied with a cheeky smile to Hilary, "This fellow here escaped from his pen." The big man explained in a lie.

Silvertan at hearing this, lifted her head she came closer to tom sat down and growled at him, VERY loudly. "Your lying" Silvertan growled, even though he had no intention of understanding her. She looked at much, he was not clever enough "Much" She called over to him in clutched teeth "Now" She told him, she saw hilary looking at her, so she went back to her post next to Flak. She whispered to him "Who do you think will win? The lady, Tom or much?" She asked flak "Stop it flak" She told him.

Hilary watched the she-wolf go up and down, "So, what are you planning to do with ...I think 3 females and two males?" She looked at the two at the back growling "Ohhhh, so you think I'm gullable?" She asked him,"Tell me, why do you use a club to round 'em up? They are not thugs, just canines, they have got their own lives, oh and why are you keeping those two up? They don't say you should keep im up in such a small home! If I was not mistaken I'd think you were trying to break in! the two tyed up are guarding the house.."She smiled "And these three are wild!" She told him..."You do know this is animal cruelty!" She told him

Flak looked at Silvertan. "Personally, I think the man will win. He seems stronger." He pulled his head back when she told him to stop. "Stop what?" He asked confusedly. He dark brown eyes examined Salukie and Insanity. "The girls seem to have it under control. Just leave them and their owner alone." He glanced up at Hilary and bared his fangs. "Back off, woman!" He snarled.

Silvertan looked at him, she shuffled closer to the pack "You sure that is their owner? If it is poor woman,! Much is being stupid if so" She looked at Flak "Do you think our pack is having much luck?" She put her head on her paws "I don't!" She told him. She grew hungry "Do you want something to eat?" She asked. "Tell me if you do" She told him and went off o get a possum.

Silvertan came back, "Oh look, the womans making the man take away the club!" She laughed the went her staright face.She stood up and looked at flak "Flak are you wanting that human to get Much?" She asked him "If you really want me to, I'll call you F-L-A-C-K, your father will find you that way" She told him.

Silvertan got up and motioned to the pack to move away from flak. They moved more towards the house,but without annoying the human. "I don't care if he sees me" She told Flak.

Flak sighed. "First of all, I catch my own food. I like it fresh. Second, I know that the man is their owner. Third, if Much doesn't want to get caught, I don't want him to get caught." He narrowed his eyes, getting quite annoyed. "Fourth, I don't care what you call me, as long as you don't call me Shade. Do you want my father to find me and kill me? He thinks my name is still Shade." He sat down and growled at nothing in particular.

Yes he is our owner well one of them tnow back out of my territory!She growled and snapped her jaws shut.Its his own fault if he gets caught so bug off

Insanity growled.

Flak grinned. "The end." He said cockily, then looked at Saluki. "Very well, fair wolf. I'm not one to invade your territory." He backed off a few meters, watching Silvertan and Much. "Do what the man's canine says, you two. Or I'll punish you myself."

Much sat down and laughed as he watched the others conversation "Once I have started I do not stop" he said.

Raising an eye at Silvertan when the female approached him, he spoke to Hilary, "Darling, If you know what these creatures were capable of, I don't think you'd question my use of a club." Tom tried once more to loop the end of the chain around Much's neck, always having the club ready incase the wolf attacked him.

A glance was thrown to Flak, as Tom contemplated trying to catch that wolf as well. For the time being however, he was trying to get Much contained, "If these weren't my dogs, as you accuse me, it's a wonder why they are obeying my commands." The older man pointed out with a snarkly little grin.

Much jumped at the man, as the chain was looped around his neck, it barely fit around his oversized, muscular neck. This gave him an advantage because it would make it harder for the human to get it around his neck at all. Much snarled menacingly.

Seeing much go for tom she immediatly launched her self at his side fangs ready to clamp down on him.

insanity stayed put.

Much anticipayed this so he leapt out of the way and continued towards Tom.

Silvertan got bored, she was young, but she had a bad feeling tom was on to her. She decided to go away she called over to flak "Good idea" She told him she started moving slowly away..

Hilary took one last look,at her watch then said to the man "Well..ok,as long as you don't kill em, I know they could attack you,the wolf has a boost in agility,and I suppose those two at the end are your officail wolfs, and the rest are wild! Oh well the she-wolf isn't obeying but I'm outa here!" She took one last look and walked off.

She growled and now made another b line and was now in the males way.Back off you piece of trash

Silvertan watched the female and whispered under her voice, one only she could hear, or atleast she thought "Fussy,fussy,fussy" She was getting fed up with this feamle

Silvertan took one last look than ran off "Much I don't know about the pack,but I'm off and I'll find a place where they are safe" She told him. She trotted off.

for sometime silvertan had been at the dump, now she was back, she just waited,watching.

Mush dodged avery move the other made. He was not touched and he did not touch her. He would not hurt anyone or anything unless he absolutly had to.

both her and her daughter stood in his way from attacking.

Much glared at them, suddenly somthing strick him in the back of the head, he fell to the ground at the humans feet. A man could be seen in a clump of trees he had a few rocks in his hand. He yelled to the human, "take the wolf and go, don't worry that one is a keeper, strong, agile, cunning, he is a well known fighter" then the man ran off, before leaving, however, he threw a large metal choke-chain collar to the man it had an extreemly srong chain atached to it. There was also a muzzle.

Silvertan yawned. She stood up and stretched. "Well,that was a nice film, I like it when bad guys win. But still I gotta go before someone gets me!" Silvertan said.

Silvertan stood there. "What do I do with the pack?" She hoped much heard her. She moved abit closer,not too close thopugh.

The arrival of an unknown man was quite a surprise, but Tom didn't turn down the offer. With a quirky smile and a nod in thanks, he slipped the chain around Much's neck. Then he moved to Silvertan, making a sudden lunge at her as he swung the club, hoping to know her unconcious....

Much did not move in the slightest. The man had apparently known the perfect spot to hit..odd.

Theye just watched and growled at the man in the tree.She slightly understood. Much may be a known fighter but was not as known as her. For she was about number one in the fighting.

Silvertan shook her head then moved to the other side of Tom. She growled at him,now he had don it.

When Silver moved, Tom moved with her, swinging the club with crushing force as he tried to stun her. If this failed, he would sic Saluki and Insanity on the wolf.

The two wolves growled as they watched the goingons.

Much opened his eyes. As soon as he realized what was going on he jumped up and began thrashing around and trying to get the chain off.

The club hit silvertan and she fell to the ground, she was bleeding now, and had almost broken her leg, she snarled then saw the club and fell her head to the ground. she looked at Much. She looked at the collar, she wondered if he'd put it on her.

The instant she went down, he attempted to slip the collar around her neck. He only wished Scott or Steve would have hurried up in getting her, but at least he had kept the situation under control. And better yet, it looked as though he'd be returning with four fighters, instead of just two.

Much jumped at Tom, he was now fully awake. His head throbbed but he still lunged.

She saw much and ran straight at him to ramn into him. If that did not work she aimed to bite him anywhere.

Much turned out of the way. He stil did not want to hurt anyone....unless necessary. He took a paw every couple seconds and tried to pull the chain off his neck.

Silvertan growled at tom. She rolled over on her belly and pawed at her collar. She growled at salukie when she lunged for Much. She struggled and got up, with a limp she lent on her collar. "Oh shutup will you" She closed her eyes and straihned on the collar. "We no your purpose, now be queit before someone does attak you!!" She shouted then lunged for tom.

She may not have faught once before but seeing her mother she immediatly moved to block silvertan's attack.

Silvertan looked at the cub "FOR WOLF'S SAKE!!!" She shouted outluod "HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF A MAN ALMOST KILLED YOU??? YES THATS RIGHT!!!YOU'D FEEL PAINED, YOU SALUKIE, WHY DON'T YOU KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF THIS?!!? ONCE I GET FREE I'MA GETTIN OUT OF HERE!" She growled at her. "NOW JUST LEAVE THE FIGHTIN, TILL LATER, YOU WILL NOT SEE ME, NOR MUCH AGAIN" She shouts angrily then added "YOU HAVE TRIED MY PATIENCE AND NOW I AM,OOHHH YOU ARE IN TROUBLE" She snarled. Then looked back at the club, and cub.

Insanity growled at the fem and then laughed.Damn your pathetic, You must of done something wrong to humans then, Because these humans won't hurt you if you do the right thingShe growled.

Salukie:No you are trying to attack my human so i will protect him!

If Salukie and Insanity hadn't stepped in, Tom would have been tagged by one of the wolves. Taking the leashes tight in his hand, the man suddenly jerked them upwards, pulling up as hard as he possibly could. His goal was to choke them enough to make them blackout, so they'd be easier to manage.

This was exactly what Much was waiting for, with the jerk upward his fur was pushed out of the way as well, making his neck thinner, it easily slid out. He then stood and growled at the human.

A sudden arrow hit Much right in the chest. The man is back again. He steps out of the shadows and into the light. He raises his bow and aims directly at Much.

Much freezes. He winces and tries to ignore the pain. He dares not move, for he knows this particular archer's arrows held poison in them. Luckily the one he had already been shot with was one just as a warning.

The man spoke "Now, you there, take the chain I threw, put it on his neck, followed by the muzzle," he keeps his bow raised.

The two slightly tamed wolves growled at the two of them.

Silvertan felt annoyed, why were they not attaking. Then she added "Fine have it your way, anyway why don't you attak the human, to show me you ARE strong" she told,she hoped it worked. "Come on! Do it! Impress me! I'm sure you'll win, because you are such a good fighter" at that moment she stopped, eyeing the man with bow. "Much are you alright?" she whispered to him. She sat down when tom pulled the collar then added to Salukie and Isanity "Ready?" She asked.

she laughed and shook her head

Salukie:I am strong, But i will not harm a human who has taken care of me, I attack other animals and kill them if i get the chance

Much snarled at them all. He sat down and watched then in amusement at the fact that they were all fighting.

Silvertan had her last nerve plucked, she was not happy, she lunged out at much's ear, which she got. She didn't bring blood though. She snarled at him
"Don't blame, me! Wonder where your pack is!" she obeyed the human though, when he pulled she went up with the collar. While she did that she decided she was on Isnaity and mums side. She pawed a the ground though while tom lifted the lead and collar up, she turned around to him snarling.

"My pack? what are you talking about?"
He turned his head slightly.

Silvertan,still abit dizzy , sat and looked ahead, if she could lift a brow she would. She then told Much "Who cares" She loked up at tom.

"Who cares, about
the meaning of life? I mean
there is no reason much" She smiled to herself.
"You are clever you two
you did not fall for my trick! But
if you may, you may get me"
She looked at them, deliriously
"Wonder, where that
lier flak is?" she looks around.

Her fur rippled in thwe wind as
Silvertan sat, it
had been a long time now
yes, a very long time.
She then rolled her head in a circle, still looking
into nothingness.

'Just one step at a time baby,
just one step at a time'

Silvertan yawned, she then looked up at toim,she was bored.

"Get outta here." Tom demanded in a hiss, glaring at Loxly. Little did he know that the man would soon enough be killed by Ethan. As it was, Tom didn't feel like dealing with another outsider.

He tugged again on the leashing, attemtping to drag Much and Silvertan towards his car. He was sure Salukie and her daughter would follow.

the two didn't want to follow but knew somethin must of happened to tidus so they followed.

Much didn't move he went along with it. He was still feeling the pain from te rock that had hit him, and with the chain that was being tugged hitting that particular area, he was soon nocked of his senses once more.

Silvertan's weak body came with tom,
she was happy.
She was very happy to go.
