You know what’s worse than fighting a Mumuu? Fighting a whole herd of them. And that was what the intruder was doing. Or trying to get away from, anyway. A good dozen of them were chasing after their bike as they tried to carry a bleeding and screaming calf off. Its long tails dragged on the ground behind the bike as it struggled and failed to hold up the weight, finally collapsing to the forest floor. But to the six-legged predators, this would not do.
They screeched and picked up speed, quickly surrounding the calf as the hunter tried to scurry off while they were distracted. Two of the adults were already after them, however, their loud bellows attracting more and more attention from the surrounding wildlife. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes for a moment, trying to think…- There was no more time to think when Miel grabbed something from her belt, aimed, and threw it.
Blindingly bright light filled the forest around them. A flashbang. He squeezed his eyes shut to protect them, tumbling onto his ass in the same instant. Next to him, Miel seemed to let out an amused breath.
When he opened his eyes again, the herd seemed stunned, and the hunter was gone.
Stunned, he rubbed his eyes, about as confused as the herd of Predators that had thankfully not noticed where the projectile had come from. As the calf got to its feet shakily, they seemed to get their bearings again. Dazed, but with their minds taken off of murderous instinct and the desire to protect. A few minutes later, they were gone from the clearing.
Taking a breath, they sat there for a quiet moment, finally bursting into nervous laughter as they looked at each other. “Stupid”, she laughed as she sat down, resting her face in her hand.
“Very stupid. But it worked.” He laughed as well, shaking his head as he forgot about their language barrier for a moment.
Snippet from a Star Wars shortstory I'm writing since I felt inspired to make some art. :3c
Also I'm trying to do more backgrounds in my work lately.
