Drakka startled as the gunfire exploded in her ears, shaking her head and snorting as two goblins burst into data. The noise was loud enough for her to not register Rex's words for a split second, but when she heard it, she heard it loud and clear.

Her form was not meant to speak, especially for long periods of time, but when prompted, she could spew quite a tangent. She supposed it was video game logic, "Mutt!?...I'm a L-Lobisomem jackass!" She spat, pausing a moment to cough frantically before leaping at the goblins. They could sure shriek once she got her claws on them.

Two swipes sent a goblin tumbling away into data, another suffered the effects of poison in a well aimed Snake Bite, it'd probably be dead in a minute. Her attacks certainly drew attention, and a group of goblins advanced, raising clubs and spears and who knows what else. She certainly wasn't sticking around for that!

She faded from sight, visible as a shadow, circling like a predator.

Drakka incorporeally rolled her eyes from under her shadowy guise, you would think nobody could decipher Lobisomem, you just needed to know "Lobo" meant wolf and you could...actually yes, she could believe he wouldn't know shit about this.

Instead, she settled for springing out and pouncing on the green monsters, notably onto one holding a NPC hostage. A different feeling told her all she needed to know about critical hits, the goblin dissolving in one hit. "Who's running!?" He was the one fighting in the back with guns! Who fought with guns in a game!? The point was to lose yourself! Not fight with "normal" stuff! "Watch it, soldier!" She spat as goblins swarmed around like bugs...was it just her, or were they getting bigger?

A fist to the side proved her right, sending her careening into a bunch of grabby, little hands. Something snapped at the violence evident in their snarls, and she snapped and slashed until their numbers thinned enough to earn her some breathing room.

...and they were still getting bigger...

The Lobisomem had only a second to express her displeasure, baring her crooked fangs in an honestly horrifying display before turning around a beating a goblin already bearing gunshot wounds across the field. The explosions deafened her momentarily, but not long enough to miss the distinct rustling from the forest.

Her ears twitched and she startled as a knife flew past, practically feeling the wind trembling as the knife hit the soldier with a very real sounding thunk! Drakka's mouth parted, and an hiss erupted from her chest as the "ninja-goblin", for lack of a better word, dodged near point-blank bullets. Even she could tell that, whoever this player was, a hit from that thing could and would hurt. Unfortunately, she was trapped behind a wall of goblins...or she would be, if Shadow Walk haven't just cooled down.

She only took a few seconds to reach her destination, her usual tactic of circling her already distracted prey not viable in such a dangerous moment. She blinked into existence over the thing, plunging downwardly in a predatory pounce. She was definitely surprised when the goblin, almost lazily, reached up and swatted her out of the sky like some pesky fly. Again, she felt the snapping sensation and opened her maw in time to latch onto its foot. The damage was pitiful, and the poison ticked down the HP way too slow to make any meaningful damage...but it was still, and she hoped that was all the soldier needed to blast this thing to kingdom come.

Drakka grunted as she clutched the ground, ears flattening as a blade rushed for her head. All he had to do was shoot this thing, and she wouldn't be hurt, shoot it, shoot it, shoot it! Her eyes watched the thing racing right for her, agonizingly slow yet she was unable to look away and what the hell was the soldier doing-Bang!

Despite herself, a warble of confusion escaped her clenched jaws as the weapon, not the creature's head, flew away. "What d'you-" Her grip released slightly, and she was reasonably certain she'd regret it...she was right. The thing tore away from her fangs and sprang away with an agility that belied it's size. She snapped back into the battle as the soldier took quite a few knifes to the back, while he took most of the rain of blades like a living shield, Drakka found herself throwing herself to the ground as a knife grazed her head and thus took a bite out of health. "What'd you do!?" She finished her thoughts before lunging forward and, if given the chance, would try to grab Rex and push him away from immediate range of the goblin. "Goddammit! Don't die, hero!" Hopefully he wouldn be devoured by the other goblins while she was busy, she was already going to murder everything, what else could she do to them?

What she did next...well...she had no idea, she honestly had nothing. No long range attacks. No accuracy boosts. Not even a healing skill. What she did do was run. Run right for the giant goblin, right for the elite mook. She swerved and weaved, rolling out of the way of persistent thrown knifes, it worked for all of five seconds. Her leg exploded, or at least felt like it, as the first direct sharp weapon collided with her front leg. A plume of dust rose up as she tumbled, wrestling her back legs under her to launch for her enemy. The goblin thrust his armored arm toward her, hitting her directly in the mouth. If she could bleed, no doubt she'd have a mouth full of bloody teeth, her HP certainly reflected that.

Before she could be thrust away, her claws came into play, hooking onto the armor. She chambered around the thing, again, the damage was pitiful, but this time she was doing something. A chunk of armor flew off, and another, some knifes even flew off in her climb. The thing's weak points were opening up, but before Drakka could take a bite, a fist grasped around her back legs, hoisting her into the air. In a moment of desperation, she clawed and bit into the arm, earning a harsh squeeze that started to drain her HP. The preoccupied Goblin was open, armor torn and open. Her Shadow Walk was nearly ready, however she dared not use it now, her newest battle partner needed to shoot first, then she'd dare dissappear.

Drakka had pretty much decided she was right, a hero was a person who saved others...which this Rex guy had just did...that's what people wanting to be heroes did, right? Thus, she was right. She didn't see anything wrong with this train of thought.

She dropped with a soft "Oof!", front leg trembling as she heavily favored it. Some little stray goblins took this as an advantage, moving in with crooked daggers to slay her. Her back legs worked fine, and she kicked them away, the ones peppered with gunfire vanishing even with her regular attacks. A red eye rolled to glare at the half blind Goblin Assassin, and she peeled her lips back and hissed before vanishing in her newly cooled Shadow Walk.

The grotesque shadow twisted in place, complementing it's next move, before leaping to the goblin's blind side. She went right for the garbled data wound, clear venom in her extended fangs. Contact. The poison stuck better this time around. The HP was ticking down...

She jumped away at the last minute, she didn't have the HP to spare trying to bait this thing again, and it wasn't pulling punches. A fist swung with deadly intent, and she retreated, accidental yelp bursting out from her chest as her legs protested wildly to her circling around to the Assassin's blind side. This time it was it's turn to jump away the moment she dissappeared from its sight, making her attempt at a slash pointless, "Then...then go ahead!" She sputtered, wheezing slightly, this felt way too real..."S-shoot!" She leapt again, failing miserably in her strike, and clambering forward in attempt after attempt.

If there was anything she'd admit to herself, she was stubborn.

Yup. If there was one thing, she was stubborn.

That meant she couldn't just watch as Rex pinned down the Assassin Goblin, practically as vicious as she, and stuffed a grenade in its goddamn mouth! A certainty came over her, his HP was in the red, and so was hers. That grenade likely had enough power to kill either of them...this guy was going die. A burst of pixels...Drakka's pupils shrunk into slits...it'd be like he was never there...

Her legs were moving, the pitter-patter of feet behind her speaking of the remaining mobs following her like a green wave. Going to die...damn it, I'm going to die too!

The seconds counted down, and her pupils looked like a single line. It was audacious to think she'd outrun a grenade blast like in the fucking movies, but this was a video game, so maybe the two were related enough.

As she ran past she shot her head to the side to bite at Rex's clothing, there was no regard to if he'd be hurt or not as she was in a rush, and pulled with all her might. Seconds still counting down.

She wouldn't get far, even in her slowed mindset she knew that, and flung herself and hopefully Rex down. Despite preparing for the blast, the boom still knocked Drakka's hearing out. Something sharp peppered her back and her chest twisted as her HP crunched down into the red...and as suddenly as it started, it stopped. The Goblin Assassin was gone, a trickle of data swirling into nothingness. A whole gaggle of goblins were killed in the blast as well, only a few valiantly holding some questions NPCS still stood, seemingly sure enough in their abilities to not run. She supposed the rest would be easy. Drakka puffed out a breath, "Geez, guess I'm a hero now."
