Soar to New Heights~ A Bat 1x1 with Moony and Firebird!

[Moony-Mae]

Nocturno's father ignored the bats' stares and words. He said one single word, "Kill."

[~Firebird Rising~]

That was enough that Graphite fell completely out of the air at this point. Terrified out of his wits, he dragged himself under a pile of leaves, in the desperate belief that he would be protected under there.

"The only way you'll be killing any of MY bats is over my dead body, Blood Tribe SCUM!" Obsidian screeched, launching herself through the air, right at Nocturno's father.

[Moony-Mae]

"Noooo!" Nocturno screamed also, trying to protect his father. He may be a murderer, and he may have thrown him out his family, but, he was still his father. He stretched his wings in front of the bat, hiding him from Obsidian's view. "Please! He's my father! I can make him see reason!" he shouted desperately, starting to cry.

[~Firebird Rising~]

Obsidian stopped, for Nocturno's sake. "Okay, Nocturno," she said, glaring at his father over his wings. "If you can make him see reason, and leave us alone, I'll spare him. But if he does not listen... If ONE SINGLE HAIR on a Sky Prism bat's head... or any bat's head... is harmed, I am giving the order to attack, and I'm sure all the other leader's will as well. We will not allow for any of these Blood Tribe to harm any of the five Tribes." With that, she slowly flew back, to watch, and wait to see how Nocturno handled this.

[Moony-Mae]

"Hi, Dad!" said Nocturno, beaming. "It's great to see you again! Looking good, sis!" His sister, a smaller, but a tough-looking bat nonetheless, scowled.

"What do you want?" his mother asked coldly. "I'm going to be sick if I keep looking at you. You don't even have the dignity to keep your proper teeth!"

Nocturno hung his head. "I'm sorry!" he bawled. "I can't suck blood! I can't kill! I can't be evil! I just can't!"

His father scoffed. "You could never do anything right, boy. You disgrace the good name of the Fangs family. Get out of my sight."

Nocturno tried again. "See, here's the thing, guys," said Nocturno. "This is the Festival of Peace, and if you attack, it's not really peaceful, is it?"

His father finally seemed to have had enough. With a sweep of his strong, thick wings, he knocked his peace-making son out of the air, and, with a signal to the rest of his Tribe, surged forward, looking ravenous.

[~Firebird Rising~]

Obsidian swooped down and caught Nocturno. "I'm sorry, Nocturno, but I must defend our Tribe, and every other bat theirs," she said, glaring up at the Blood Tribe bats. "I'll let you choose who you want to fight for."

She flew up, so that she was facing towards the oncoming hoards of vampire bats. "Sky Prism Tribe, ATTACK!" she cried, and zoomed towards Nocturno's father, claws outstretched and ready.

Graphite heard his sister's call for battle, and the able-bodied bats soar after her as she attacked, but he stayed hidden, petrified with fear. He felt like a coward. The only other bats who stayed back were mothers with young and elders. But he couldn't bring himself to come out.

[Moony-Mae]

Nocturno didn't know what to do. He was distraught. There was a life-and-death midair battle above him, and his family could very well die! But, would he risk his life to protect the family that didn't even want to know him? And, if he defended his family, the Tribes would go after him, too! He stayed low to the ground. He was all right, but wasn't sure whether to lay low or to protect Blood Tribe. Unsure of which action everyone would benefit from most, he used his large feet to sneakily walk further away, somewhat reassured by knowing that his family was perfectly capable of defending themselves.

Luna took to the air when she heard her brother call, "ATTACK, CRESCENTS!" With a squeak of triumph, she clawed Nocturno's father's face, and watched him fall, temporarily blinded and weakened.

[~Firebird Rising~]

All around Obsidian, it was mayhem. Bats screamed, clawed, snapped, spat, and tumbled through the air, fighting for their lives. But her emerald eyes saw only one; the leader of Blood Tribe. Nocturno's father. With a screech, she lashed out, raking her claws down his back and snapping at his wing membranes. "You evil Blood Tribe scum will never defeat any of the five tribes!" she hissed in his ear.

[Moony-Mae]

Nocturno's father was not one to mess around with. Although the scratch hurt him a bit, he was a very powerful bat with an incredibly short temper. He flinched, then said menacingly, "Before you die, you should at least learn my name. I am Vincent Devilio Fangs." Then, he beared his razor-sharp fangs and claws, and shot straight at Obsidian, murder in his eyes.

Nocturno was almost at his nest, when he looked up and saw Obsidian was in danger. He swooped up as fast as he could fly, which was rather fast, and flew in between his leader and his father, shielding Obsidian from view. Without realizing what had just happened, Vincent attacked his son instead, and Nocturno fell to the ground.

[~Firebird Rising~]

"Nocturno!" Obsidian screamed, helplessly watching as he fell. She looked back at his father, her eyes burning with the fires of hatred. "You monster! You beast!" she shrieked. "What kind of father would attack his son?! What kind of father would cast him out in the first place?! You are a sick fiend, Vincent Devilo Fangs, and sick fiends like you don't deserve to live!"

She let a blood-curdling battle scream, she launched herself at him and attacked mercilessly, biting and clawing at everything she could reach.

Graphite saw Nocturno fall and scrambled out from his hiding place. "Ohmahgawd ohmahgawd!" he panted, making his way over to the fallen bat. "Nocturno, are you okay?! Stay with me, buddy! Stay with me!"
