Pez snarled, fighting off as many rats as he could. The Elf girl sniffled, trembling when she saw the rats.

Oop: Hey I got another idea for a character to use.

OOC: Sure, what do you have.

Oop: Maybe the Elf girl's mother coems looking for her?

OOC: Elves are humanoids, so no! ...I'm kidding, that sounds like a good idea.

Oop: Well she technically doesn't have to be humanoid, she has shapehsifting so yeah.

OOC: Regardless, I'm okay with it.

Pez continued taking out Rats. Slowly btu surely the Rats were beginning to slow down, apparently with their effortsb eing directed elsewhere.

At the mouth of the cave was a very large cat. It was easily the size of a man, and had a pair of long saber fangs jutting from its upper jaw. Its fur was dark black, with bright green, rage filled eyes. IT lowered its nose to the ground and followed the scent it had been tracking.

"Where's mom?" the Tawaret child asked.

"I think we can reunite you two if we can get out of here," Eshe said.

"But what about the master rat?" Tiberius asked. "We have to kill him. What if he shows up."

"I think he might show up real soon," Eshe said. Eventually the rats were getting into small numbers. Pretty soon the head honcho would likely get angry and attack the group himself.

"Well then we'll kill him once he arrives."Pez said.

Elsewhere, several Rats had been sent to deal with the large cat that just arrived. So far the rats weren't having much luck. This cat was very clearly angry, having torn through most of the rats.

Eventually, the giant rat appeared near the ceiling. He was as angry as you thought he'd be.

"RARGH! Can't you stupid rats do anything right?" the Giant asked. "I'll have to do the extermination of you myself." The giant rat jumped off the ceiling and landed behind the group where Pez was. He was ready to fight. And yet, he looked tougher than the other rats.

Pez spun around when the giant rat landed, ready to attack.

Rats slowly began overwhelming the large cat elsewhere in the cave, but she had a trick up her sleeve. Soon her body began to shift and change. She grew several times larger, now towering over all the rats in the area. Her snout grew out and narrowed, soon with sharp, serated teeth poking out of the upper jaw as a 'beak' from. Six sets of horns jutted from her head. Her body elongated, as did her tail, which began thick, powerful, and winding. Out of her back grew wings. The cat, now having become a dragon, let out a loud, angry roar, which echoed through the caves. Without much hesitation the other rats began to run, unaware that while the shapeshifter certainly had the bulk and toughness of a dragon, she was incapable of breathing fire due to the magical aspect of the current dragon form she took.

Everyone seemed to hear the dragon, but it didn't look like the Giant Rat was concerned. Eventually, the Giant Rat got close to Pez and lowered its head. It looked like it was going to try and bite Pez.

Pez snarled, launching his tail forward, with the stinger jabbing into the Rat's eye. A concoction that was similar to a mix of lemon juice, pepper spray, and jalapeneo juice was injected into the eye.

OOC: Good gravy, I knew I should have warned you first, but you can NOT automatically hit the rat with any attack. He's my badguy, I choose whether he gets hit or not.

But Pez's stinger missed entirely. As if the rat was expecting him to attack, he swiftly dodged the attack, and countered by grabbing his tail right before to tip, trying to prevent him from using his tail as a weapon. He then tried to bite Pez, hoping to take away some of his powers.

Oop: Alright, sorry man. Also, I don't really consider pez's abilities to be powers. They aren't unique to him in anyway, and they aren't magical in nature. I think of them as similar to a lizard regrowing its tail, or an ant being able to lift several times its weight.

Pez roared, tugging at his tail in an effort to pull away. Another dragon roar echoed through the cave, with its thunderous footsteps now being heard. Several of the Rat's goons ran through room.

The giant rat still payed no attention to the dragon howls, even as his minions ran through the room. The rat tried to swing Pez over and slam him into the ground.

Meanwhile, Eshe saw Pez needed help, and decided to summon a few skeletons to help. The skeletons tried to latch onto the skeleton to distract him, which might give Pez a chance to escape.

The instant the chance arose, Pez pulled himself free. Thankfully the Skeletons were keeping the Rat leader distracted.

Soon the ground begun to shake violently as the dragon finally turned into the room the others were in. She gave out a hiss at the fleeing rats.

OOC: Now, just so we're clear, the dragon elf isn't some demi-god overlord who's a zillion times more powerful than the rat, is she? Because the more powerful the goodguys are, the more powerful I'm going to have to make the giant rat in order to compensate. I'm already planning on having him turn into a giant grotesque rat beast using Tiberius' power, but I feel like that might not be enough. ...I'm sorry, I guess I just don't like it when the villains are underpowered to the heroes. He hasn't really been yet, but I'm worried the shape-shifting elf might make it so, which is why I'm asking exactly how powerful she is.

Oop: No she's not. I would assume, considering she's a dragon, she would atleast be stronger than he is in a physical sense, but she doesn't have access to the dragon's fire as the particular dragon she turned into has magic based fire, which she can't replicate.

OOC: Fair enough.

"Hmmm, a dragon, huh? Interesting," the Giant Rat said. Suddenly, the Giant Rat ran down the corridor. Eventually he was out of the sight of the group.

"Hey! Get back here!" Eshe said. "Tiberius, watch the kids, Me and Pez are going to chase after him."

"What about the dragon?" Tiberius asked. Suddenly, Tiberius looked at the elf girl. She was staring directly at the dragon without fear.
