Rebirth: The Shadow Of Greed

... A deafening roar could be heard, the group felt a chill run down their spine as they waited for the beast to show itself. As the last of the beasts ran out, a huge tiger beast, pounced and snatched the rhino beast up with its mouth, crunching sounds could be heard as it's sharp teeth crushed the thick hide of the rhino beast.

With a rhino beast still in its mouth. He slowly proceeded forward, keeping its yellow eyes trained on team 15A that was in front of it.

"It's a Warship level beast! Steady yourselves! This time it's about survival! We have to trap it and escape! Scarlett! Bind the tiger! As soon as it gets close enough"

Lieutenant Raff shouted even he was not confident in facing a Warship level beast.

Instantly roots appeared from the ground binding the tiger's paws pulling it tightly on the ground. The huge tiger looked at its paws as it started to jerk back and forth trying to break free.

'rip'

with a forceful tug, it ripped the roots from off the ground, causing Scarlett to take a step back from the breaking of the binding.

This time, enraged he dropped the rhino beast as it swung its paw downwards towards the barrier.

"Move to either side! Quickly!" Lieutenant Raff shouted immediately pulling and pushing everyone to the side as the huge paw descended.

'crash!' The barrier broke instantly as the paw slammed down in the middle, Kyzil, seeing that he wouldn't be able to block it, instantly kept his barrier preventing him from taking damage from the backlash. The paw now only being held up by David's shield in his metal form, started pressing down with even more force. Creaking sounds could be heard from David as he started trembling, even in metal form it seems he still took quite a lot of damage.

Vero activated his multisize growing into half the size of the tiger, as he used his shield to try to knock the tiger back.

Multiple wind blades flew across the air as they hit the Tiger's body, ruffling it's fur and barely scratching its skin.

The offence team immediately took action as Odrunn ran beside Soli, ready to block anything with his shield. Soli quickly created a puddle of water on the ground freezing it instantly, before shooting icicles at the tiger's eyes temporarily blinding it.

Arlene and Ashli ran to the side, with Kyzil running beside them using the barrier to defend them as they both bombarded the tiger with attacks, causing the huge tiger to slip on the ice and land with a thud. Scarlett's binding came after trapping the tiger on the ground.

"Retreat!"

Lieutenant Raff shouted, he wanted to take this opportunity when the tiger beast was down to escape.

"Watch out!"

Z shouted as the tiger's tail swung wildly in its attempt to break free from the bindings, prompting Odrunn to raise his tail in front of Soli, the two of them being knocked back to the edge of the cliff.

In an instant, the tail swung back towards the rest of 15A, this time, Lieutenant Raff stood at the front blocking it with his prosthetic arm absorbing the brunt of the kinetic energy, the force of the tail, however, still managed to knock him back.

Breaking free of the bindings and regaining its vision, the tiger shook it's fur and roared in anger, focusing its attention on Soli and Odrunn on the cliff. It took off, running at full speed towards Odrunn holding the shield with Soli behind him. Soli shot some icicles to no avail, the rest of 15A charged forward in an attempt to save their teammates.

It was quite a huge gap, leaving the only member close enough to the two of them charging forward to distract the tiger. Z arrived beside the tiger after a full-speed sprint, his heart thumping with anxiousness as he swung the shield towards the tiger's neck.

'Crash!'

The sound of the shield against the thick neck of the tiger, like metal striking metal sounded out, the shield was undamaged, but so was the tiger. It barely caused it to have any recoil.

Merely serving as a distraction to lure it away from Odrunn and Soli. The tiger turned around as it swung its massive left paw towards Z, dodging under it, he managed to reach the side with Odrunn and Soli.

"Are you two alright?"

Z spoke with concern in his voice. He was not going to let two of his teammates die on his first-ever venture out into the forest.

A voice spoke in their mind,

"Listen! We're gonna distract the tiger, all of you come over to the other side, then we'll attempt to push the tiger down into the basin. The first wave of distraction will be coming."

Lieutenant Raff's cool voice commanded, as the trio stuck at the front of the tiger agreed telepathically.

The tiger fully charged up for an attack prepared for a swing, claws extended it swung its huge paws viciously towards Z, Odrunn and Soli.

A psychokinetic blast was launched onto the hindlegs of the tiger, making its knees buckle, losing its balance and making the swipe swing wide, landing on the ground instead. The ledge the trio was standing on started to crumble and they started to slide downwards.

"Cali!"

Wallis shouted, in an instant the ground stopped moving down as it was stuck and a decline. Sweat droplets could be seen from the head of the little girl, a testament on how much effort she was putting in, in order to save the trio.

The tiger, now completely enraged, charged directly at the trio once again, this time desperately wanting to go for the kill. This time, Kipp sent a couple of wind blades flying towards the back of the tiger, striking it hit after hit. The tiger, being completely enraged, just swung its tail towards the group of measly humans that were tickling it.

Kyzil activated his barrier, attempting to block as much as he could, but the instant the tail hit, the barrier vanished, landing the hit on Vero who blocked most of it with his shield and multisize.

Unsure if it's because the destruction of his barrier or for other reasons, Kyzil lost balance and fell backwards.
