Kona caught up to Chica. "Hello! I can help!" She ran with her.

When Sybil saw this, she proceeded to destroy all the nets and dart-guns. But they were all to strong to break, so she stole them, running way from the scene as soon as possible, dragging the heavy backpack, intending on reaching the swamp some long yards away and sinking them into the quicksands...

Kona saw Sybil and ran over to help her carry the backpack.

Speckles tried hard to not scratch the inside of Stripe's ears with his claws. He really couldn't move anyway; the poor velvet worm was practically in shock.

Royal flies over to the two and starts slashing through the mesh of rope.
"Stay still I don't want to inflict any damage on you as I free you guys," he says through a mouthful of rope in his beak.

OOC: Alright but Royal's talons are still sharp enough and powerful enough to cut through the material. Just read this summary of a wildlife biologist that studies them. The harpy eagle is pretty much as powerful as you can get while still being able to fly. It has a crushing grip of 530 pounds per square inch.

Sybil was grateful that Kona decided to help as well, but she was more surprised that the humans still haven't notice them. That was a good sign, but still, they were leaving a very noticeable trace, which means that they needed to reach the swamp and sink all of those stuff... or else.

OOC: No kidding!

OOC: Harpy Eagles are both beautiful and powerful.

Royal frees the two and decides against picking them up do to the danger of hurting them with his talons. Instead he stands guard in a tree above them watching for any human daring to hurt them.

OOC: I love the look of authority and power Birds of Prey have. So menacing...


Meanwhile, Skaliscin was hidden in the branches of a tree. She wasn't particularly good at climbing; her species is designed for slithering on the dusty ground. But the sneaky serpent felt secure above the bushes, especially with all the humans running amok.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of worry. Where's Speckles?
The snake, naturally, almost scorned herself for caring for the velvet worm. But then she remembered:
"No, that was the old me. This is the new me," she stated mentally.
"Well, no human would want to hurt a little, velvety caterpillar. Or, would they? ... Humans-s-s are s-s-strange creatures-s-s-s..."

"This is it." Sybil said to Kona once they reached the swamp. "Quickly, throw them there, and be careful not to fall. Now hurry, before the humans catch on to us." Sybil ordered, worrying that maybe the humans already noticed their things missing...

Kona threw the stuff in.

Speckles yelped as Stripe's foot brushed him out his ear. With a sharp intake of breath, the velvet worm fell and clung to the marsupial's leg.
"Sorry! I'm sorry!" Speckles cried desperately, his claws clenching harder on Stripe's skin.

A panting Sybil threw the stuff in the quicksands, finally happy to be rid of those dreadful things. She looked behind her, and noticed that dragging that backpack full of stuff made a very noticeable trace along the dirt. "We better go Kona. The humans won't take too long to notice their things missing. I bet they are on to us now. If we linger here, we are in big trouble.'' Sybil concluded, leading the way out of that creepy swamp...

"I-I'm Speckles," the invertebrate replied shakily, falling to the ground and landing on his back.
Squirming, he turned around and stood on his many legs, looking up at the Tasmanian wolf.
"I just wanted to make sure you were OK," he added, slightly more calmly.

Upon freeing Stripes and Chica from the net he flies off and caring not for himself attacks the humans that are tracking Sybil and Kona. Little does he realize that once the humans realize what he is they will try to capture him as a pet, because of his majestic form.

"Stripes?" the velvet worm questioned, surprised. "Speckles and Stripes; what a coincidence." he added with a laugh. "Pleased to meet you!"
He antenna twitched, and he noticed that the helicopter was gliding away, disappearing behind the trees.
"Are they leaving?"

Royal takes off into the air and vanishes into the sun. He watches over the others but if the humans return he is willing to surrender himself to being their pet if it makes them leave the others alone. Jaerl sits on his perch and smiles as he sees the helicopter with people leave.

"It looks like they are actually leaving at last. Thank goodness, already three of us have been hurt in this fight, who knows how many more would have been."

Sybil returned to the scene to make sure that the others were all right. She got a little disturbed on how quiet everything went all of the sudden. "Um, guys... what is going here?" she asked, looking around. Where are the humans, she said in her mind...

Sybil wasn't sure whether to feel ecstatic or terrified about those news. The humans left, so meant no more danger... but they already know about the island, and that means they could spread the news to other ill-intentioned humans.

"... This day..." her voice broke. After catching her breath, she spoke once more. "The humans can never reach the island by sea, but as we have seen today, they can... by air. We need very big help." After saying these words to the ones present at the time, she rushed to the highest cliff of the Island, determined to call all the birds and planning on how to make the skies as impenetrable to the humans as the seas are...

Kallik came running over. "Are they gone?" She asked.

Speckles, cautiously, crawled up to the Degu.
"Yeah, they just left," he replied, his feet shuffling nervously. "How long have you been on the island; I don't remember seeing you."

Meanwhile, at the cliff, Sybil managed a reunion with the birds. "Now listen, haven't any of you heard? They were humans on the island. HUMANS! And you know what else? They came by air. Why didn't any of you told me!?" Sybil asked, sounding exceedingly angry. There was silence...

Sybil then came with two hypothesis; either the birds were reunited in one place or they didn't care about the human's arrival. The last one was rubbish, so the fist must be the one. However, she didn't like the idea of suspecting her feathered friends, so she decided to walk away. "Alright then, you don't have to tell me. After all, it's not like you are obliged to tell me everything..."she said, looking at them and resuming her decent off the cliff...

"I was one of the first animals here, along with some I haven't seen in a while..." Kallik said.

Ooc: hello it has been a while. And wait to see if I'm captured! God......

Chica could hear something big going over her while she still ran with stripes, never stopping. She ducked under the incoming net, but only her hind quarters were caught. Trying to kick it off, she still managed to drag her body to a more forested area.

"Really? How many others?" Speckles pressed on, curious. "Didn't I hear about an eel a while back?"
He knew that Skaliscin would be interested in an eel; or anything serpent-like, for that matter. He wondered where the sneaky snake was.

OOC: The people who came with those animals were among the first ones to arrive. However, some posted their animal and details and didn't come back

Ooc: I still don't like it when something happens to my char and I wasn't there to do something about it, and why did I see posts about the. Net then
