On the shadows of the evening forest, rustles of multiple footsteps could be heard. Heavy breathing accompanying those fast pace audible movements, the owners of those steps, Lithe Rabbits. These creatures are black in color and experts at speed and sharp turns, they are tricky vermin to capture but what makes then unique is the jewel lodged on their forehead. When used by the rabbits, the jewel would glow and produce concentrated shock waves at their kicks, yet they would choose to run first from predators than fight. 

Nine of such creatures are crisscrossing the forest floor as fast as the swiftstep skill, pursued by a silent evasive predator as fast as them in the shadows. 

However, among the rabbit group, one is very peculiar. A single Lithe Rabbit Larger than the others have a reddish hue with red glowing eyes, it was the one leading them away from their pursuer with a name floating above it's head, ??? Lithe Rabbit. 

As the pursuer in the darkness got closer, It leaped towards the nearest rabbit with blinding speed. *Swish* *Slice* 3 Lithe Rabbits halted their movements and suddenly stumbled with their bodies cut clean apart. 

Skahr stopped at the moonlit space with glowing claws and tail blades, looking upon his kill and viewed the running prey he shouted. 

"Kyuu!" 

A giggle echoed from a distance like a child was simply playing tag, Kyuu appeared with speeds equal to the prey. But instead of running with rapid pedal movement, she now quickly leaps from distance to distance mastering the new found skill 'Foxtrot'. 

Skahr then pointed to the dead pieces of rabbits and shouted "Stay!" Skahr suddenly leaped unto the shadows and dashed with rapid speeds again with not a single footstep could be heard. 

Skahr learned various skills when he evolved, including the Basilisk Species abilities. One of those skills is being used now along with the shadowmeld ability, The Relentless Predator.

"Swiftstep" *fooosshh* Skahr increases more speed to catch on the fleeing prey. 

The Lithe Rabbits was chased towards Kyuu's direction as a trap, when the prey was near she leaped from tree trunk to tree trunk towards the upper area of the trees. 

Kyuu leaped high avoiding the branches and her 2 tails glowed blue. Essence of water emerged upon those fur, a ball of water started to form and floated towards Kyuu's right palm. She then threw the waterball with precision to the group of prey running towards her direction. As the projectile soared through the air the waterball started to decrease it's temperature forming frost unto the edges. 

*BOOM!* The waterball ball had turned unto a frost blast when it exploded at the target hitting 4 rabbits freezing them. The 2 remaining rabbit was thrown off by the impact of the frost explosion, floating in the dark night air the rabbits started to gain there balance.. 

*Slash* a blurring figure dashed at 1 of then slicing 1 rabbit. 

Skahr landed with the same timing as the 2 rabbits, Skahr and one Lithe rabbit gracefully touching the ground with their feet, the other splattered blood and it's body in pieces.
