White Love
White padded next to Mag limping slightly. She looked at the territory as she stopped at the border and looked at Mag, her breaths calm and a little uneven. She was slightly nervous. She looked at the forest and lifted her head to the trees. Letting out a howl for the alpha/alphas. She wanted to make things right but didnt want to make things worse, holding her position under alpha as she was near the neighboring border. Off her own territory and at the border of another. She didnt want to start a fight especially with her wounds this bad already. She didnt want to worry Mag though as he was already worried about her. She also didnt want to make her wounds worse. Though she stood no chance against a fight with these alphas with her wounds.
Magadan
Magadan remained close to White Love during their travel from the Sedge Creek, and now stood rigidly by her side. He was nervous too, but determination to protect his alpha and their pack kept him focused and on task. Magadan knew that neither of them would stand a chance against this pack if an offer for peace was denied, and White in particular could not handle a lot right now, in the condition she was in. For that reason, the beta kept one hear pivoted in her direction, listening to her uneven breath, while he watched her from the corner of his eye, in case her condition took a turn for the worse.
Technopunk
Technopunk was having a relatively good day. She was counting her blessings; she had heard rumors of some sort of disease going around the Valley, and she was thankful that she didn't seem to have it yet. It would take something really frustrating to take that smile off her face...
...and here it was. From her place under a bushy shrub, her head shot up and her nose was raised to the sky. A familiar scent filled her nostrils. It was the same individual who tried to take her territory from her, and it seemed that she had company this time. Technopunk would investigate, but not before alerting the army. She raised her muzzle to the sky and called for the packs residing at Manahcob Downs. She made another call, this one a bit different. She was calling for her brother, Dignitas.
With the warriors alerted, she begrudgingly stomped toward the edge of the territory where White Love and Magadan waited. She gave them a sharp look, then bared her fangs. "What do you want?" She hissed through her clenched teeth. Her hatred was obvious, and it seemed that nothing could snap her out of this rage. "You've got some guts showing your face around here again." She was nearly frothing at the mouth when she spoke to White Love. "You just wait until the army arrives. I suggest you turn tail and go back to wherever you came from before I get really mad." Her tail was raised high in a display of dominance, and her hackles stood on end to show that she wasn't one bit happy.
White Love
White was trying not to get angry. Trying not to let her hackles rise. She hissed slightly. ''Now you wait just a minute! I came here in peace! Trying to make peace with you and your army. Now your going to listen to what I have to say because I wont stop trying to make peace between us until you do!'' her voice determined now she looked at Mag and then sighed. She flattened her ears against her head and looked at the alphess. Keeping her own hackles down she waited for Mag to chime in or growl slightly. She was sorta ignoring his protection right now but not all the way. She was also trying hard not to lunge, she shouldnt though because of her wounds. She opened her maw. ''I know what I did started a war but hear me out please? I didnt mean to start one when I didnt know there was a pack here. Now I know what I did was wrong but I am asking and may even beg for your forgiveness.'' she said. Looking up at the alphess. Her eyes had plead in them but her anger got the best and her hackles started rising. She breathed calmly and calmed herself down.
Magadan
At twice the size of the dark-brindle alpha that stood before them, Magadan might not have been so quick to be afraid at first, if not for the scent of so many others on the wind, and Technopunk's vicious response to them. To the beta's credit, he did not snarl back or show his fangs, not wanting to risk a fight when they only meant peace. Instead, he kept his tail level and his face stern, waiting until White Love had finished speaking before he parted his silvery and white jaws, "As White Love said, we are here to offer peace, not war, Alphess." Not knowing Techno's name, Magadan settled for using a respectful title instead, and planted his gaze on her forehead, rather than looking directly into her eyes. He was not an alpha, thus he would not act as an equal here. As he stood there, Mag flicked his tail once against White, a gesture meant to assure her that he would stand steadfast by her side, no matter what happened. As angry as she sounded, Mag wanted to help calm her down in any way he could.
Technopunk
Technopunk's brindle body was stiff, her tail held high, and she got close enough to White Love to snap at her if she felt the need to. For now, though, she stuck to snarling. "You WILL respect me, girl. This is MY territory and you are trespassing." Her eyes narrowed and her face contorted into a vicious snarl. "What the hell makes you think I want peace? You tried to take my territory in front of my pups. I want your hide, not your childlike friendship." She eyed Magadan, giving him a spiteful look, then directed her attention at White Love again. "Oh god no..." She rolled her eyes. "I don't want to see any begging. You don't get my forgiveness. What you do get is 30 seconds before my brother arrives to tear you to shreds." At this moment, she heard a familiar howl from less than a mile away. A devious grin stretched across her muzzle. "You'll be meeting Dignitas soon, and he doesn't like anybody messing with his little sister."
While Technopunk was vicious and enraged, there was the possibility that Blacksong might be more forgiving when he arrives. For now, though. White Love and Magadan would have to deal with a very, very angry dog and her wolf hybrid half-brother.
Blacksong
Melody arrived shortly after her mother did, but it was in time to hear White yelling at her in a hissed voice. Hackles raised, the alphess daughter stalked over while baring her yellow stained fangs. You speak to my mom like that again, and I will rip your throat out. It was clear to see that the youngster wasn't joking. Her hunting lessons may have just started, but she wasn't new to practicing her fighting. And she was more than ready to try out what she learned on this pathetic female. As far as she was concerned, their peace could be thrown away.
Blacksong arrived to see his pissed off mate and daughter standing in front of White Love and some unknown male. Instantly his mostly white fur bristled as he approached, in alpha position, even though it wasn't really needed. The hundred twenty-five pound male was hard to miss, with his form covered in muscles and the way he carried himself in a proud way. By the time he came to a stop by Techno, she was snarling out words at the bitch before him. His form would of pressed gently into her, trying to calm her just a little, as he growled out. You disrespect the alpha female, my mate, in my territory, and expect forgiveness? His tone was sarcastic. There was no need for him to snarl the words out, his cold voice at that point was threatening enough. It would be hard enough for him to forgive her, let alone his allies that lived in the opposite side of the land. His children had been threatened by possible attack, theirs had nearly been killed just answering the challenge.
Lucey flew over the lands and closed in long enough to see who was there, and soon left when she got a nod from Blacksong. Things were about to get interesting. Most of the pack members had arrived by now and were watching nearby. Gold, a slightly elderly male and the 'father' of Blacksong growled from where he stood. Ocean had been out hunting nearby, until she heard Technopunks' howl, and had returned in good timing to see the femme from earlier who tried to claim their land. She came to a stop nearby them, slightly to the side and behind White and Mag as she growled lightly at the two. She was small at only ninety five pounds, but she had a heart of steel when it came to those she loved.
White Love
White looked around and then at Blacksong and the three of them in front of Mag and her. She spoke calmly as she felt Mag's tail. She looked at them and opened her maw. ''As you can all see, we are not on your territory, we are behind the border. I wouldnt expect you wanted another alpha on your territory since I already tried to take your land and that didnt work and now trying to get your peace. To hell with that. I guess its time to go somewhere else to get peace. After all, I know what your allies are. Im not afraid to go to them and ask for their alliance. You dont scare me as much as you think. I come here asking for forgiveness and peace and im not on your territory and you act hostile. Oh all you bitches just made me pissed.'' she snarled and then turned around looking at the other fae. Why was she doing that? That fae had no right when they werent on their territory. She snarled at the alphas. Swishing her tail back and forth slowly she narrowed her eyes. Letting her hackles raise. Theyd really done it actually. She sensed her pack and looked back as her warriors showed up. She growled at them lowly. ''Get back to the territory all of you! Theres no need for it! Me and Mag are perfectly fine!!'' she hissed. Emma refused and so did the rest. She snarled again and turned around. She looked at Blacksong, slightly ignoring the other two. ''Well, your the one I met last time I was here. But as you can see unlike your dogs here they cant see that im here for peace, but oh well. I guess when its time for me to go itll be time.'' she growled and lashed her tail now. She turned around and started walking, slowly at first.
Magadan
Before Mag's very eyes, the situation began to spiral out of control at a frighteningly fast pace. Against Technopunk, he'd been hopeful that some calm words and reassurances might have smoothed things over. And if all else failed, he and White Love could have high-tailed it out of the territory. But before the two leading alphas could exchange their less then friendly words and effectively dash any hopes of peace, the rest of the pack was converging on the site, outnumbering White and Mag. The white and silver wolf kept his ears back and his fangs covered, but his stance had gotten tense with anxiety, and his eyes hardened. With Ocean standing slightly behind them, he felt even more pressure, "Please forgive White's words, we've recently had to deal with a stressful issue in our own pack, and tensions are high. We do not want a fight." It was a long shot that Magadan took in trying to cover up for White's words, and one last go for a diplomatic resolution. When his alpha had a change of heart and declared they were going elsewhere to speak with allies, Magadan stopped speaking all together, shifting his role from mediator to protector. He turned with White Love, sticking close to his leader as she started to walk away. The sudden arrival of their pack surprised him, and he worried that their presence could be taken the wrong way, and lead to a possible fight.
Technopunk
Truthfully, Technopunk didn't give a flying shit whether or not White Love was behind the border. This newcomer had a lot to learn about the circle of packs in which Technopunk was a member; coming near a territory and engaging the pack in conversation after being told to leave was considered trespassing among them, even if they were outside the border. Technopunk raised herself up, her head held high, and her stained fangs remained bared. "As we already said, we don't want your peace. We have nothing to gain from it. You'll just get in the way. And why would I NOT be hostile? You were told to leave and never come back, yet you come here with a pinky-promise request for childish friendship." Her voice was a vicious, deathly growl and her body stiffened, ready to attack. "And what makes you think my allies want your alliance? They've got my back."
Right on time, a group from Manahcob Downs arrived. Technopunk nodded to the army, made up of:
In the Valkama pack,
Amari, the alpha female
Isabel, the beta female and daughter of Tahti, whose legacy lived on even after her death
Rowan, the gamma male and brother to Isabel
Predator, the delta female and member of Tahti's extensive and well-known bloodline
And a few of the the subordinates: Convict, Bryne, Kerberos, Haemon, Famas, Kholm, Minke, Virosa and Surmgewehr
Then came the Night Watch...
Nightshade, the alpha female
Astra, the warrior captain
And a few subordinates: Aykay, Bruin, Vodka, Epsilon, Peacekeeper, Snow Angel, Shiv and Sniper.
The Rebels were soon to follow...
Rampage, the commander
Tainted, the secretive, mysterious but infamous mother of Rampage and former leader of the Rebels
A few of the subordinates arrived as well: Blue Moon, Irakli, Runt, Susi, Tazi and Xatia.
Black Star, Street Spirit and Blackout of the Horse Division weren't far behind.
But perhaps the most threatening arrival came from behind White Love. Dignitas stalked toward her, his one good eye fixed on her and her pack. He waited there for a moment, then circled around them to face White Love. "Get away from my sister and her pack, or you're dead," he growled, hackles raised and tail stiff and level with his body. His bared teeth and readied attack pose suggested that he wasn't bluffing.
Amari had led her pack and the other Manahacob Downs divisions to their allies' territory in time to hear White Love's statement. "NO!" The coyote barked, storming toward White Love. "You will NOT ask us for our alliance! I don't want your ilk anywhere near my territory. Fair warning: if you come within sight of my pack," Amari's eyes narrowed and her expression darkened, "I'll have my pack dispose of you. It won't be pretty."
Technopunk's glare shifted to Magadan. She let out a low growl, getting quite impatient. "It's too late for apologies. You've already got a fight. I'll give you 10 seconds to leave my sight or you're not leaving alive. 10... 9... 8... 7..." She continued counting down, and she noticed that her brother was preparing to attack. If Dignitas attacked before the time was up, Tech wouldn't stop him.
Dignitas knew this, and took the opportunity to attack. He lunged at White Love, going for her face and throat. The Manahcob Downs packs stood behind Dignitas, ready to aid him in the fight if White Love and her pack did not leave.
White Love
White Love dodged and growled at the male. ''Come on Mag! We have no time anymore for these dogs.'' she growled and turned snarling at her pack, theyd disobeyed her orders making her even more mad then she already was. She watched her pack bound off towards their own territory as White Love made her position her rightful alphess position as she left. Her hackles rising a little. She stalked off and snarled at Ocean as she left.
Blacksong
Blacksong almost snarled at Whites' logic on how she wasn't trespassing. To him, she was, coming here and calling to them to ask for an alliance. Than she grew hostile when they refused. Things didn't work that way, and White was going to learn that the hard way. Then she had to go and bring up the fact that she had already tried to steal their territory. The last straw was when she threatened to go to their allies and that she isn’t scared. This bitch had better be afraid, very afraid, because the grandson of Windsong lost his patience completely then. Especially when she insulted them all by calling them bitches and stating that she was pissed. Oh she hadn't seen pissed yet. He was starting to give the command to attack, when he saw her pack members showed up, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to risk his members when he could get help from his allies. That way the fight would be in their favor. His gaze briefly went to Mag as he could see the male wasn't wanting to fight, but it was his own fault at how foolish his alpha was. He shouldn't have let her lead if he wasn't willing to deal with her bullshit. His words got a simple nod of agreement from him, after Technopunk addressed him. To show that he agreed with his mate. Their allies arrived, and he gave them a respectful nod in way of thanks for backing him and his pack up. Diginitas arrived as well, the brute that his mates' brother, and he found himself realizing how outnumbered White was now. Even with her pack there. His pack members, Alamarana, Gold, Kemanorel, Khar'pern, Kwee, Lashana, Myrenateli, Oeacn, Orolanela, Pweek, Rawn, Rovylern, and Zhen were already there to back their alphas up. His mate started the countdown, and shortly after her brother lunged in attack, and he waited to see what would happen. He lost it when White was leaving though, as she threanted his pack member by snarling at Ocean, his sister none the less. Without hesitating, he flicked his tail, the signal for attack, as his own form surged forward as he made to attack the alphess.
Ocean remained where she was, slightly behind the two trespassers and the rest of Whites' pack as they showed. A new male appeared, and she assumed this to be Technos' brother, because he smelled like her. Her suspicion was soon confirmed when he threatened White Love over her. The small female remained where she was, her posture hostile toward the enemy. When White snarled at her, she aimed a snap at the already injured female around the same time Diginitas had lunged, pissed that the bitch would threaten her.
Alayla followed closely after the Valkama pack, her form sticking close to her brother, Surmgewehr as she watched the drama. Ready to fight. Nera was with her father, Rowan, as she had come to aid him and her family in the fight if needed.
Failure arrived with his mate Nightshade and their pack members, he stuck close to them all in a protective manner. The titan carried himself in a powerful way as he held in head and tail in alpha position. Tison was with them as well.
Deceptive, Rinale, Asar, Bakar, Issa, Jasper, and Mikhai followed after Black Star, Street Spirit, and Blackout as they made up the rest of the Horse Division.
The scent of Heaven's Avenger and his pack could be detected now, as the pack approached fast to answer the call of their neighboring allies. Things were about to get ugly fast, real fast. Perhaps White would be scared now.
