<[b]"Mr. Uptight?"[/b]> Alucard thought to himself. He was merely being cautious while keeping himself aware of the scenario, whilst this raccoon was being a naive, foolish individual, he was going to let his guard down one day or another, or rather, his guard has been let down already, as the sound of a hissing drew closer, Alucard was able to smell the scent of flesh and gunpowder, a peculiar mix, but it wouldn't have been the first time, the scent was of killing intent, indeed, that was no mistake. It was then Alucard spotted what appeared to be a blocky green creature, a grimacing expression set upon its face as it edged closer to the tail of the strange raccoon. [b]"Evade, Sly, your blindside is in range!"[/b] Alucard couldn't wait for Sly to avoid it as he proceeded to bolt forward, quickly shooting past the thief in the process, his body evaporated into a plethora of after imagery with each step he made, as if time could not keep up with his movements, the dhampir had suddenly stood behind the raccoon, with quick reflexes Alucard swiped his shield outward, knocking the hissing creature away and rebounding it off the side of a tree, but not before Alucard flicked from his pocket a set of rebounding knives, using these as a bouncing tool, they quickly pierced into the back of the creature, sending it hurdling into the air. To finish off the entity, Alucard elegantly opened his cape with his left hand and held it outward, on doing so, from the depths of his cape, balls of fire errupted from within, homing on on the creeper monster, setting it aflame, causing the creature to explode midair, safely protecting the three heroes from its malevolent suicidal intentions. With the threat eliminated, Alucard closed his cape, expression unchanged, his direction turned to his companions.
