A House Divided [Part 2]

[Instructions: Here.]

The fighting begins in earnest, as bystanders get dragged in, have to duck out of the way, or join in to help out, but with more people entering the fray, there's even more chaos.

Buildings have been cracked, a nearby fountain has been smashed, causing water to pour over the ground and make things even more of a mess.

Can anyone, Security or the Conspirators, keep the situation under control?

Robert clung to the werewolf tenaciously, refusing to let go. He wasn't going to let her hurt anyone, even if that included a creepy brainslug. He tightened his grip, hoping that the damn thing would give up soon.

Obi-Wan heard a shot fired behind him, turning automatically to face it, thrice bedamned front-line instincts firmly in control. Ah, it was— but no, he was becoming distracted, easing his hold on Bella in the chaos. He turned back to the task with half an ear cocked, ready as soon as the more immediate situation resolved itself to engage the next opponent.

Bella seizes the chance when Obi-Wan's attention wanders, surging forward with a bark. She lunges on all fours, having had Enuff Of Dis and now not only are these guys impeding her mission, they're hurting her dignity.

She swipes at the Jedi with her claws, not giving a damn how much it hurts. It'll make him STOP, surely! She's too angry to care.

woo, finally an approvedpost

Obi-Wan fell back under her assault, letting Bella go with a dismayed cry. That was enough, he was done, for now, and dragged his sorry hind end over to lean against a nearby wall to wait out the violence.

On snap

Robert glanced up, a cold pang of fear running through him as Obi-wan reeled back with a cry. How seriously was the other man hurt? Those claws weren't exactly butter knives, after all. Time, he decided, to end this. He locked an arm around Bella's neck, clinging to her as tightly as he can as his free hand pulled his revolver from it's holster and cocked it with a heavy 'click.' He pressed the barrel against Bella's head, just behind her ear, then spoke.

"I don't know much about a werewolves, but a bullet to the head is still a bullet to the head. I don't want to find out, and I don't think you want to find out either. So what you're going to do is turn into a nice puppy, lay down flat on the ground and not move. Otherwise, things may get really, really messy here." His voice sounded calmer than he really felt. He didn't want to have to shoot anyone, but she may have just seriously injured (even fatally!) another member of the crew and he had no time to keep trying to subdue her in another fashion.

Bella growls lower, a bass rattle deep in the chest.

"YOU WILL GET OFF MY BACK, APE. THAT IS ALL THAT WILL HAPPEN HERE," she replies. She won't be talked to the ground, no sir. It's bad enough she's been pinned by a human before.

In short, she's a young Get Ahroun. She's big and righteous and thinks herself pretty invincible.

She's not laying down like a dog! Bella shakes herself again vigorously, not giving a damn about the gun. She just wants him OFF HER!

"LET GO OF ME!"

Wrong answer, Bella. He does his best to hang on, grabbing a handful of fur and skin as he's shaken, the gun slipping. He fires anyway. Once, twice, sending .357 slugs into Bella's shoulder.

"GET DOWN ON THE GROUND, NOW!" He roars back, practically yelling into her ear.

"HRARLL!"

Hear that, Robert? That is the sound of the werewolf not caring what you have to say.

This hurts. So much. So much you don't even know. Bella's never been shot before in her life, she's never imagined being in this much pain is even possible.

A couple things click together in that instant. Supernatural Garou Rage surges through her, keeping her on her feet and aware and clamping down on the pain. At the same time, the fight or flight response is going with this burst of raw fury.

Fight or flight, which is it going to be?
This hurts. So much. So bad. Now. METAL IN SHOULDER METAL SHOULD NOT BE IN SHOULDER GETITOUTGETITOUTGETITOUTGETITOUT!

Bella shifts, shrinking smaller and twisting out of Robert's grip, snapping at him blindly as she does. She sheds her warform, returning to her native shape. Once her legs are stable, she bolts off into the city as if hell itself is after her, leaving spatters of blood.

This is a classic example of a Fox Frenzy, the drive to just GET AWAY as a pure, Rage-fueled panic response.
She'll be pissed about it later, but for now she's one less problem for the security team.

Robert hit the ground with a thud and a grunt of pain, all the wind going out of him. He staggered to his feet, watching the wolf scurry off, bleeding as it went. He wasn't sorry, he'd done what he'd had to, especially after what she did to--

He whipped his head around and hurried over to Obi-Wan.

"Are you alright?"

HE LIES

"I'm fine," Obi-Wan protested waving Robert off with one hand, "Two wars, and I'm not dead yet, chase the— Go after her!"
