Tikaani gave a final, decisive nod to Tegue before pivoting and bursting into a flat-out sprint as soon as the first pawstep met the ground. He followed after Sierra, but mostly paid attention to his Seer's instinct...since that was where Sierra was going anyways, he figured that hers was just as acurate as his at this point.
He didn't bother with stealth when he skidded to a halt beside the other tigers, just in time to hear Otava's roaring declaration, and then to watch Azta leap into a blind charge, an assault directed at the Snow Leapord. He hissed, crouching into spring positions, his fangs fiercely bared. The young fool! Launching an un-thoughtful attack on a Bone such as that would only get her killed. With a determined roar, he leapt forward over the line of brush, sweeping in front of Leapord Bone and knocking the legs out from under it with a fierce swipe of his paws. He hoped that the combined weight of itself and the tiger atop it would crush its composition, scattering the bones for a long enough amount of time to give the tigers a chance to make an organized attack.
The arrival of the Tasmainian Devil changed everything; it confirmed Tikaani's fear that the fighting had reached the ears of other Bones. More were surely soon to follow. He cursed loudly and snarled in challenge at the small, fierce, dangerous creature. He was not foolish; the Devil's claws and teeth were just as sharp and harmful as the Leapord's, even if they weren't as forceful. He tensed, staking his cover on the fact that Azta had the Leapord covered while he turned his back to it, facing the Devil, waiting for it to accept the challenge. "Come on, come on," he muttered under his breath, his tail snapping tensely back and forth, muscles bunched and contracted tightly beneath his armor, making it bulge above his fur, an intimidating sight.
He could only hope that a creature more dangerous wouldn't arrive now; the tigers would have enough trouble as it was.
`This lack of self control I fear is n e v e r e n d i n g,

Phyre grinned devilishly at the Tapir, shrugging lightly while keeping her gaze locked on Errol, her 'ear's kept open as she listened to sounds of the other tigers assembling next-to-silently around in the bushes, out of sight, and almost out of hearing. She settled into a crouched position, deciding it best to not answer the little creature right now; she needed to focus on the task at hand; defeating the tiger before her while keeping her and the Tapir covered from the others. She knew even before she thought of it that it would be impossible without help; more Bones were necessary, not just one, but a few.
The sound of an angry hiss and the sight of Otava stepping from the bushes was enough to alert her of what would soon be coming; she knew she was the most formidable of the two, and also knew that one of the tigers would assault her first. She snarled, then opened her jaws to the farthest the hinges would allow, letting loose another demonic growl from her invisible, nonexistant throat.
The she-Bone crouched low to the ground, which ultimately saved her the trouble of reassembling herself for hours. Azta narrowly missed the feline, her claws scraping over the vertebrae of her spine and creating faint, yet ugly scratches on the smooth part of the Leapord's skull. Another growl erupted from the creature, this time a startled one, and she leapt backwards, only to have the 'paws' knocked out from beneath her by Tikaani's powerful swipe. She shrieked in frustration and scrambled to her feet, shoving a dismembered claw back into its socket. She hissed in outrage, snarling at the white Seer tiger; but he was not looking at her. A brief look-over of the situation revealed to Phyre a third Bone...Niles.
Despite herself, the Leapord grinned once more; the Devil would be a worthy ally to have in this battle, but still not quite enough. And Tikaani was challenging this creature; wise of him. Phyre snorted and refocused on Azta, who would no doubt become angered by her miss and attack again.
