Meanwhile, outside, Crystaline and Keira make their way towards a makeshift clinic, trying to avoid the fighting going on around them. Unfortunately, a brutish Sten thug sporting heavy armor spots them and intercepts them.

"Well, hello there, girls." he says with an evil smile. "Is no one around to protect you? It's dangerous out here, ya know." he twirls his large knife menacingly.

"Hey! Leave 'em be, Kable! They're not warriors!" another Sten says as he approaches. This warrior was a blood stained thorny lizard weilding a staff with blades on either end. Compared to his fellow warrior, he was much smaller and slightly scrawny.

"Com' on, Drake! Live a little! This is war, and all's fair in love and war." he says as he snickers, casting an evil toothy grin at the girls.

"I suggest you listen to your comrade." Crystaline warns.

Kable lets out a hearty chuckle and takes off his helmet, revealing himself to be a coyote with a terrible scar over his left eye. "Aww, isn't that cute. What are you going to do if I don't? Kill me?!" he challenges as he lets out a menacing laugh.

"Not me." the young wolf says casually. "Him."

Kable's eyes dilate a bit as he realizes he's about to be attacked from behind. Thinking quickly, he raises a jagged boulder out of the earth behind him and shoots it in the direction opposite of him.

Frost, who saw the two Sten approach his sister and Keira, started sprinting towards them, ready to slaughter them in order to rescue his sister. Seeing the boulder rise from the earth, Frost summons a pillar of ice underneath him to send himself skyward. The projectile passes harmlessly below him and collides into the ice pillar, smashing it to pieces. Frost throws his machete midflight and manages to impale the weapon into the coyote's shoulder as he turned around. Upon landing, Frost encases his own arm in razor sharp ice and attempts to slash the coyote in half.

The overly bruttish coyote blocks the attack with his own knife. "Heh! So, you're the big bad wolf I've heard so much about, eh?" he asks mockingly, noticing that Frost was smaller than him (as most people were). However, his evil toothy grin quickly changed into an expression of shock as a blade pierced his back. Drake, the other Sten warrior, had just stabbed him with his weapon in the back.

Frost takes advantage of this and, knocking the knife out of the coyote's hand, proceeds to impale the coyote through the heart with his improvised arm blade. The oversized canine dropped dead and landed with a thud. Frost then turns to the thorny lizard.

The lizard had dropped his weapon and starts backing away with his hands raised in front of him. "Wait, pardner! I- I don' want any trouble, 'kay? I was tryin' to protect 'em!"

The wolf didn't say anything, but instead checks on Crystaline. "Are you alright?" he asks.

"I'm fine, but Keira's badly burnt!" she says.

Several Vatten warriors begins to approach, with weapons drawn.

Frost sees them coming and turns. "We need a medic, now!" he says. Meanwhile, the thorny lizard keeps his hands up in surrender.

"I'm not with the Sten-Tribu. Not anymore." he says.

One of the Vatten warriors runs off to get a medic, while the others stay behind to keep an eye on the wolves, otter, and lizard.
