The war of the races

"Ah made it." He said with some pride in his voice.

"This is amazing. Hey Engie. What made you join the anthros?"

The human paused at the question. A tear fell from his goggled eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry Engie. I didnt mean to."

"My wife was an Anthro..." He said wiping the tear away.

Melanie pressed her ears to her head. "Im so sorry."

"It's alright..." The shorter human said as he tried to keeo himself from breaking down.

She reached out and put her paw on his shoulder.

"I couldn't stand the thought of more of ya gettin' slaughterd so I joined up."

Melanie nodded. "At least we can trust some humans."

"Yeah..." He said laying his hand on her paw as more tears fell.

"So are we going to get those buggers back or not?" She smiled weakly.

He handed her a pair of automatic pistols. "Hit one fer me..."

She took it from him. "I will." She then whirled around to face Zad and Todd. "Do you want to hear my plan?"

Zad had a mouthful of burger and then a glass of milk in her paw and she nodded her head and wiped the crumbs off from in her fur. "MMMMmmHmmm..." she gave a cheeky smile, her cheeks bloated. "Thure 'oo"

"What was that Zad?" Melanie laughed.

Zad tried swallowing but failed, the lump in her throat preventing her from speaking properly "ah thaid thure d'oo*

Engie walked out from his room wiping his eyes. His face was flushed indicating he had been crying.

Kiagre's ears pricked up casually as she overheard talk of revenge down the hall. She turned over the dagger in her paws absently, staring into space, her mind on the conversation. She glanced at the jet black fur on her paws, then at the pale human skin on her arms, and closed her eyes sadly. But her mother, she tried to tell herself... her mother was no shame to her, being perhaps the only human memory that didn't bring shame and torment to that half of who she was.

But her father... the more she thought about him - his sleek glassy black fur, his expressive curved ears and his long silver whiskers that twitched happily when he'd played with her years ago when she was small. The lifeless form of him burned forever in her memory...

Revenge. It had been her fantasy, her passion, ever since. But not alone, else probably to her own end as well. Her heartrate sped up. Presently, after listening for awhile, she got up and made her way silently to the room where that particular conversation was coming from, and stopped a decent distance away, so that she could take in what was going on without being aknowledged.

Melanie clasped her paws together. "Lets blow up the upper town."

Ho'ne drove into town where he finally picked up his lead from a bartender down south "Finally I got you guys now" He thought to himself, but the Only problem he now just thought up is where exactly? For now he thought he should stay at a local hotel.

The idea was too exciting for her to stay put. Kiagre made her way to where Melanie and Zad were.
"Excuse me. This sounds interesting, could you use a little extra help?"

Melanie looked at Kiagre. "Of course. We'll need the most help we can get."

"Awesome. I'm ready when everyone else is. Oh and my name's Kiagre."

"Its nice to meet you Kiagre. I'm Melanie." She then looked about the room.
