Shikon could feel the sand underneath his paths grow steadier and steadier. He skidded to a halt, sending the heaeted grains uo into the air. There infront of him, was a familiar face.....the metal monster had returned.

Satika was right behind him. "What... but it was... shatter..." she spluttered, bewildered. She backed away slowly, keeping one eye fixed on the thing and one on Shikon. "No heroics this time, Shikon!" she said. That made her smile. He was usually the one giving orders.

"yeah" Shikon smirked at her. The metalic scorpion sparked. It was broken all over, with cracked metal and broken wires...but it was still fighting on for some reason. It had stalked the wolves all the way here after doing minimal repairs.
Shikon bent into an aggresive position and prepared for a fight.

Satika looked the scorpion over. It looked menacing and scary with all the frayed, sparking wires and one of its eyes had stopped glowing red because there was a crack running through it. Growling, she circled the thing, braver now with Shikon. Before she met him, she would have been running backwards, tail between her legs. Now she smirked, and lunged...

Shikon leapt up as well. The scorpion's attacks were muh slower. It must've been filled to the brim with sand now. He dug his fangs into a hole and shredded a large wire. The scorpion was a sturdy creation....

Satika copied Shikon's actions, and bit into the scorpion. Her teeth came into contact with a stripped, but live wire and she got zapped. BZZZZT! She fell back, a weird tingling sort of pain permeating her body. Her fur stood on end as she stood up and tried to shake it out of her head, but that blast had almost knocked her out.

Shikon leapt over to Satika, barely dodgeing the metalic enemy. "Are you alright?" He asked the female. His fur was all staticy around her. He looked so fluffy X3

Satika shook her head again and spoke to Shikon, eyes still closed. "Ummmm... yea..." a shadow crossed the path of the sun, she could see it through her eyelids. She looked up, and the scorpion was looming above them. "Shikon!" yelped Satika, and dodged one of its blows.

Shikon easily dodged. "Watch the tail!" He barked, before rushing in and grabbing Satika by the gruff of her fur, and yanking her out of the way. The stinger smashed into the ground, sending a cloud of sand ten feet into the air. If that had hit.....it would've been lights out for any wolf.

Satika ran the other direction until she found what she was looking for. A smooth, flat tan coloured rock sat upon the ground. She picked it up in her mouth without another thought and hurled it at the scorpion, using her neck. It was too heavy to throw hard enough to do any real damage, but it hit the burnt out eye and it shattered.

Shikon saw the flying piece of rock, and leapt up,grabbing it out of the air after it his the scorpion. With a stronger jaw, he was able to throw it harder. He leapt up into the sky, and threw with all his might, useing gravity to further speed the attack. It hit, slicing straight through the scorpion's body. The shattered wires in the eyes spraked like crazy, lighting the now exposed fuel in the body. Shikon leapt over Satika, as the boom went off.

Satika gave an involuntary gasp as the air was knocked out of her lungs, and her eyes clenched shut. Fire licked the tips of her unprotected sides, singing her fur even darker than it already was. And then, all of the sudden, it was over. She opened one eye and peeked at the destroyed robot. It was nothing more than a heap of burnt metal, some chunks of shrapnel on either side.

Shikon growled as he stepped away from Satika. He reached back and pulled a shard of shrapnel from his shoulder. "Let's go....we need to get out of the desert by tomorrow" He barked. He started onward, with a slight limp but powering through it.

Satika grimaced. She hated when things got embedded into skin. In her opinion, it was the grossest kind of injury. Great, she thought. Shikon is injured and I still can't go as fast as him!

Shikon raced onward. Finally, the end of the desert was in sight. He let out a long howl as he ran, and perked his ears foreward. seconds ticked by. 7. 8. 9. 10....finally a returning howl echoed through the air. Shikon sighed in relief. They were almost free from the scorching sun, and the unforgiving sands beneath them.
