Did that just happen?

Carter nods as the best choice is to fall back and get proper support. The class can't face one of them without assured debts. "Dante I am leading the other students back. If you can, return as soon as possible but if you are safe keep an eye on it. I can send a team straight to you. However Dante if that bear wakes up, run like you have never ran before."

Dante swallows as he watches. "Sir, run." as Carter orders the students they are now running as Dante sees first the one then two smaller ones getting up "It is a mother with two cubs. However I am hidden but if I move I am not sure I can outrun them."

Carter looks back as he grits his teeth. The rules are never to attack a parent near a human city as it sets off the animals and they will attack until one side is dead. The normal outcome is the humans are killed off. Looking to the students he keeps ushering them forward. They are rushing back as voices speak up.

Dante smiles hearing Onya's voice before Amy and even Stan is talking now. "Those bears are highly aggressive so if you can manage to not show aggression or look like food, you should be able to leave." "They react highly to scent. Keep your suit on and with you being away from us you shouldn't have human scent on you." "If you die, I get your helping of the burgers tonight."

Dante is trying not to laugh at Stan's comment at the end. "Tell me when you are in the city and I will make my move." as Onya shouts out help something has her his switch flicks and he steps out calling to the bears "Forgive me for bothering you however a friend needs me. You are a lovely mother with some sweet babies." the bears all turn to look at this feline creature before it bows and turns taking off "I'm on my way Onya!"

They were running along and going in a straight line unlike the trip out when something suddenly grabs to them. Everyone turns and Carter curses their luck as an Assassin Vine has grabbed two of them, he shouts for them to keep running. He pushes on a couple to get them moving again. "We can't stay here. If those bears wake up we will all die so move it!"

Onya uses her knife to hack at the vine but the position is bad. She can feel herself going numb from the thorn that pierced her thigh. She swings a few more times before her arms hang above her head as her body is lifted. She feels a faint tingle as she screams in her mind that she is going to die as plant food.

Dante breaks into the area following her ID beacon, that all of those who came with him shared at the start of this. Seeing her going higher he growls some and pushes his body harder as he hears the sounds of something behind him. He has a rather good idea what it is. Jumping he grabs her body then swings his legs up digging the claws on his feet into the tree. Once he has traction he starts to drag her back down towards the ground.

Not knowing what the creature was she had given chase. While she is steadily gaining on it the creatures moving in a direct path, however as it jumps up and grabs another small thing she can see one of those juicy plants has it. As this creature doesn't seem to want it, she comes forward and swats with the paw sending the two off as she starts to bite and rip into it.

Dante watched her come up then push them away before going after the plant that had Onya. His body hurts as her soft could do with the whole hell of a lot more softness. Lifting Onya he looks to her and can see the purple wound through the outfit on her leg. Looking to the map he moves and sets her down ripping her outfit more. He uses his claws to open the area around her thigh more before he sucks as much as he can to draw out the poison.

She looks and can see the small thing is working frantically to save one of the nasty little creatures. However as this one didn't bother her and led her to a nice snack, she drops some of the leaves next to it before turning and heading off. All animals know the leaves near the back counter the poison so this animal can save its pet.

Dante needs something to bind the wound but neither have anything he can use. As the bear shares the spoils of the kill with him he finds himself a little embarrassed. Did he just get hit on by a mama bear? Shaking his head and trying not to think of that. He looks to them before the wound and ponders before he takes a bite. He starts to chew the rather acrid leaf and uses it as a paste in her wound.

Carter is looking back as all but three students have made it back and the bio monitor shows two are still alive. It is nearly two hours later as Dante can be seen carrying her in his arms like a princess. With nothing else, he has kept his hand firmly over her wound to keep it from opening as he walked back. He makes it back with a few rends in his battle suit. None speak as he just walks straight up to Carter. "I never leave my friends behind. Is anyone else out there sir?"

Carter shakes his head as he smile some. "Well done Dante." He goes the say more as Dante sways some and two guards catch his shoulders. They help them to a vehicle as they head to the hospital. Carter looks to the paste in her leg before Dante. He can tell by the monitor her poison was gone and she is resting from the shock but isn't sure how.

Dante opens his eyes and winces from the bright light. Looking around he moves sitting up and after looking himself over he gets out of the bed. He pulls the IV out before heading to the back room after removing the other attachments. He can hear people enter the other room as he just continues. Everyone turns hearing the toilet and when he walks out he waves. "Morning, where am I?"

Three hours later Carter comes in with four others as Dante is sitting in Onya's room. The two are talking and as they come in he waves. "You the food delivery?" everyone looks to her before Carter laughs "Was worth a shot."

One of them steps forward and motions to them, after Carter nods he walks closer. "I am Agent Jack." as they look to him he smiles "I want to ask you about how you neutralized the poison."

Dante thinks a moment and smiles looking up. "I think I might have charmed a mama bear." as they all look at him he laughs "I chatted with her a bit before I left. She then followed me and killed the Assassin Vine that had a hold of Onya. Once it was done she even shared her kill with me."

They all look to each other and another one steps forward before holding out her hand. "Will you allow me to see your battle record?"

Carter speaks up. "The suit has several cameras to help us understand what kills those we lost at times. Also helps make sure none are committing crimes using them."

Dante moves and picks it up holding it out. "It got banged up but should be fine I think." he sighs "Wasn't able to run back so a few scrapes and such but nothing major."

She pulls out a device and sets the ball in a depression as a holographic display shows up. With Carter's time assessment they scan forward until the moment he found the bears. Dante whistles seeing a representation of how small he was to them. They watch and the room laughs some to his conversation before leaving. None can argue the bears look to each other before the mother did follow him. However while it was happening it never roared out like they usually do.

Seeing his actions to save her, Onya blushes badly as you can clearly see how hard he is fighting. When the mother comes in Dante chimes in. "I might need to teach her soft better next time." None get a chance to argue as she frees Onya but with very little force. Now a couple look to each other as it does honestly look like this bear is helping.

Onya looks to Dante still crimson as she holds his arm leaning against him. "You didn't leave me like you said, even when you should have." Dante smiles as he looks to her "You are truly amazing."

Carter is like the rest as he is working on her wound. When the bear does rip off some of the food sharing it with Dante they look to each other before him. He just shrugs as he smiles and continues watching. However seeing him bite into a known poisonous plant and chew it up to make an emergency paste, a few wonder about his knowledge.

Once the bear is gone and he is starting to walk away she stops the playback handing the ball back. "By all accounts it would appear that the bear did indeed assist you for an unknown reason." she smiles as she remembers his reason why and looks to the others "Honestly I am not sure how to judge the situation. This isn't common but I feel the nature of his battle suit is what saved the pair of them."

Jack crosses his arms and looks to Dante who is now feeding Onya some pudding like something. "I am curious how did you locate her during that encounter young man?"

Dante looks over and smiles some as he feeds her another bite without looking. "At the start before we left the city we shared our locator beacons with each other. We did it so that we would always know where the others were. I followed that straight to her."

He nods his head and looks to the rest. "I don't see any action he has taken as endangerment as was claimed or abandonment. His actions were by the book outside of the beast part and friendship part. Never once did he come across the other one, so in no way can he be held responsible for an act of nature."
