Nightshade, Black Star, Rampage & Others

Tainted stormed into the territory, seemingly very upset about something. When she got closer, it would become apparent that she had burns all over her body, and her fur was soaking wet, suggesting that she jumped into the water to put out the fire. She let out a howl to alert the pack.

Rampage, son of Tainted and Sora, rushed to his mother's aid. "Mom!" He shouted, staring at the burns. "What happened?! Who did this to you?!"
Tainted was shaking, not so much from the cold water, rather from her intense pain and anger. "Humans. They grabbed me. They threw me in the fire. They laughed when I jumped into their pool to put out the flames." She paused to allow her son to speak, but Rampage had no words. "Alert Nightshade and the others," she continued, gingerly stepping toward the creek and laying down in its soothing cold water.
"We're going to give them what's coming to them."
"You haven't changed, Mother," Rampage stated, following Tainted to the creek. "You keep on being you and I'll take care of this."
"You don't understand, Rampage," Tainted said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I'm coming too. I want to see the looks on their faces."
Rampage paused to think. Tainted really shouldn't be hunting in this condition, but he came to the conclusion that he couldn't stop her. Nobody could. Except for Suenga, but Tainted was highly angered when anybody mentioned her now-deceased mate. She had never taken up another mate since Suenga's death. "If you feel up to it, I'm not going to hold you back. Just... be careful, Mom." With that, he raised his head and howled. It wasn't exactly a 'come here' howl; rather, it was a 'we're going hunting right now' howl.

Nightshade, Black Star, Street Spirit, Peacekeeper, Hero, Lux, Foyle, Paranoia, Astra, Ravenholm, Blood Moon and Blackout sooner or later stopped their grazing, resting, patrolling and other activities and emerged from the forests.

Rampage informed them of the situation; humans had attacked Tainted, and they were going to retaliate. Upon hearing this decision, Nightshade's calm expression twisted into a vicious snarl. "We'll get them. We'll get them all." Black Star joined in, stomping the ground with her hoof. "Like hell we will! I'll tear them apart, because this is personal." Despite the fact that Black Star, Street Spirit and Blackout were horses, they considered Tainted and the rest of Tahti's descendants family.

"Then it is settled," Rampage said eagerly, "We will split up, just for extra impact. The humans must know that what they have done is wrong." He watched the packs to see if any more members would show up for the hunt, and then he would lead the pack Down Town.
