Intended or Accidental?

Once more this comes from a RP. I changed it to where it was an accidental incident...though the later effects I had no idea how that could had been adjusted...Maybe Iloe gets fed up for being blamed and turns on Muka as a way to rid her frustration? I don't know. Iloe is mine, though this Muka is the namesake of my hamster.

P.S: The first line is not directed at Iloe.

"No one asked you." Muka's eyes flashed.

Iloe was beside Muka and glanced at him, biting her lip at his words to Kuba. Iloe shifted into her dog form and laid down, using her front paws to cover her ears as the volume increased around the cave, hurting her ears and making her feel uncomfortable.

Muka looked outside at the thunder. "Kellen, you can't make them leave in this gale!" he frowned. "The rains'll be torrential, we have to wait!"

"We can't AFFORD to wait!" Cory shouted at Muka.

"It's dawn! Where's the attack!" Muka snapped.

The noise got louder and Iloe had enough, if she stayed then she felt like she would flip out. Her episodes were rare, but could be serious. The dog slipped outside into the rain and paused, blinking away the wetness that fell onto her face and seeped into her thick fur. Iloe picked her way down to the shore where the dolphin shifters were huddled, scowling and muttering at being forced to take watch in such damp conditions. Iloe settled down amongst them, sighing softly as the pounding in her head was soothed by the low rumble of the storm.

Iloe turned her attention to the water and she blinked spotting a dolphin surface to breath before vanishing amongst the inky waves. Her attention drifted to one dolphin who was beside her and she nudged him. "I thought Muka said not to go into the water?" Iloe asked, blinking her eyes once more to remove the water. "He did...but Rolf has always had a habit of not listening to instructions...especially when he feels like he can get some more rank with some grand scene...it usually falls through," the dolphin muttered and rolled his eyes.

Iloe waited a bit, then carefully approached the edge of the water, careful to avoid the reach of the waves. She knew that storms were a dangerous time to be in the water and she knew that the swimming dolphins could possibly be harmed. She began barking at them, trying to make herself herd over the storm.

Muka knitted his brows together and looked away from them. "Idiots." he muttered, then noticed Iloe wasn't there. He arched a brow and peered around. Where had she gone?

A strong wind blew through Iloe's thick fur, chilling her skin and she shivered. Her gaze was fixed on the water where some of the swimmers obviously recognize the impending danger and returned to shore, but there were still five out there. Iloe took a deep breath and was ready to start another round of barks when a wave suddenly came over her and dragged her out to sea. Iloe yelped and paddled her paws a bit before she shifted into a white-sided dolphin and paused to considered what to do. She spotted the other dolphins and squeaked at them before her attention was caught by several forms that slowly swim from the gloom. Elites!

When the wave swept away the shifter, one of the pod hurried into the cave, unaware that Iloe could swim and suddenly alerted by the presence of enemy shifters in the sea. "Muka!" he called over the voices.

"What!" Muka snapped angrily. "Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Uh...those shifters are back.." the dolphin said and gulped a bit.

Muka frowned. "What does that matter? I ordered my pod to stay out of the water otherwise I'd fire them all." he turned around, eyes flashing dangerously. "Are you telling me they disobeyed?" He made fists with his hands.

"Rolf saw this as a chance to make you proud," the dolphin replied with a roll of his eyes. 'Or just make you pissed off beyond words,' he added silently knowing that this would be the result of Rolf's actions, as always. He tried to get some respect from his fellow podmates and captain, it usually backfired, and Muka would go off on him. Still it seemed that he didn't get it after the last few times.

Iloe tried to swim to shore, but she kept being caught by the retreating waves and pulled back into the sea. Iloe surfaced to breath and scowled. 'Goddess, please stop being so fickle and let us get out of this water before any harm is done.' she said quietly but suddenly dodged as one of the sharks shifted into a squid and shot towards her, one tentacle coming within an inch of her front flipper.

"They're all dead." Muka shoved passed him and outside the cave, leaving the others to argue, he leapt off the rocks and flew over the stormy waters as an African fish eagle then dove under the surf as a bottlenose. His sonar picked up on the sharks in the murky, churned water and he rammed one hard in the gills with his muzzle.

Rolf drew back from Muka's attack of his foe and caught a glimpse of anger in the captain's eyes and knew right then and there that he had taken it too far. He shifted into a narwhal and stabbed the shark with his tusk in the side.

Marico rushed over and rammed his beak into the squid's side, knocking it away from Iloe. The squid squirted its ink which blotted out their vision as the squid went down and shifted back into a shark to recalculate. It looked from the two dolphins over to the narwhal and dolphin who were fighting a shark, then at the barracuda that was nipping in to tears pieces off the third shark. Iloe blinked as the ink cleared and she could see, she went up to take a breath before diving back under and considered her options. She could try swimming for shore now that there were more dolphins than elites, but yet she wanted to be helpful. She decided to stay and fight.

Muka shifted into a sail fish and ripped around the shark, flipping it upside down to throw it into a paralyzed daze. "Take it out!" Muka snarled, he jetted to the new shark with his beak out like a lance. he flashed his sail fin, the markings on his scales changing from dots to stripes. He ran a slice from the shark's gills to his tail like a rapier.

"Yes sir." Rolf said and finished off the shark with his tusk, watching as it slowly drifting down into the dark depths with a trail of blood following it. He turned to help Muka with the next shark, but paused to check on Marico and Iloe who were being circled by the last shark, he then decided they could handle it and dove to help the captain.

Iloe's eyes drifted from the shark to gaze at the pattern change of Muka's sail, she was awed by the colors but quickly forced her mind to focus. 'Get to shore now, Muka is here and he can take care of this. Just get to land and it will be fine.' Her mind tried convincing her. Iloe's attention was on the last shark who charged towards Marico, the young dolphin shifted into a Koolasuchus and braced himself, but at the last moment the shark turned. Iloe suddenly squealed as she felt sharp teeth sink into her flank, just below her front flipper. Lightning lite up the water enough for her to see the plumes of blood pour from the injury.

"Hey!" Muka snarled, shifting into a bottlenose and slamming its head about in the water. "Get them out!" he snarled at Rolf, he went back to attacking the shark, shifting back into a sailfish to slash and stab at the soft belly.

Rolf turned and sharped to help Marico remove the shark from the female shifter. The Koolasuchus struggled to make it release its grasp but didn't want to risk ripping it off and causing more damage. Rolf shifted into a dolphin and swam down before he came back up and began to push Iloe towards the surface so that she could at least get air then he turned and shifted back into a narwal and began stabbing at the shark with his tusk, trying to make it release her as well.

"Hey!" Muka flipped around and shifted human, holding his breath. He pulled the 14 inch diving knife strapped to his heel and sliced off the right dorsal fin of the shark. The water clouded with blood and he slammed the blade hilt-deep into the shark's head.

Iloe felt the teeth loosen from her side and wiggled desperately, seeing plumes of blood drift from the wound in her side. After a little more wiggling she felt herself freed but she hovered in the water as blood poured from the injury, shock and blood loss slowly weakening her. Rolf went down and began to push her back up to the surface while Marico went on ahead to get help ready. "Come on," Rolf muttered as he tried to help the female dolphin to the surface but he was having troubles. "Captain," he called out to Muka for assistance.

Muka held the knife in his teeth and shifted dolphin, swimming up to them and pumping his tail to get them to the surface. He gasped for air through his blow hole and pushed them towards shore, there was a line of guards ready to pass them on. He shifted human and picked up Iloe, sloshing up onto the beach and pushing her into the hands of a burly guard. "Nzuri!" he shouted. He spun around, eyes blazing as he looked to Rolf, Marico and the others. "You're all fired." he hissed, half-tone eyes blazing. He turned and followed the rest inside, knife still in his hand.

Iloe shifted a human as they got to the surface and clutched her side, she could feel a thicker wetness that was blood for no water was like it. She rested her head against Muka's chest and tried to tell him what had happened, but her throat stung from the salt water and she decided to save it for later.

Muka stalked past the other, fuming and dripping wet. "Where's the rest of my damn pod!" He snarled into the cave, all of you on the beach! NOW!" he slashed the rocks with his knife, sending up angry sparks.

Nzuri left Kellen's side and hurried to help Iloe. She pressed a lap sponge of gauze against her wounds. "Angani! I need sedation!" she snapped at her nurse. Angani ran off to fetch a medical bag.

The other dolphins stood up and quickly filed outside, knowing better to keep Muka waiting when he was in one of his moods. One paused to look at Rayou, considering if it would be wise to bring the injured dolphin outside but a shake from a nurse made him turn and follow the others out, though somebody would fill Rayou in on the details later.

Iloe whimpered from the pressure being put onto her injured side, she was light-headed from the loss of blood and closed her eyes. "Wait," she winced at how ragged her words sounded, "I need to tell Muka..." her eyes over and she struggled to sit up in order to locate the dolphin captain. But she couldn't see him anywhere in the cave.

"Don't move, you lost a lot of blood, the bleeding's under control but you need stitches." she took the syringe from Angani. "You'll be out for a little while, when you wake up you won't be in as much pain." Nzuri clean a spot then injected her with the sedative.

Muke glared at his pod as the rain fell in sheets. "Anyone want to tell me what my orders were regarding any member of my pod going into the water?" he sheathed his diving knife. "Anyone at all." he hissed scathingly. "Because maybe, some of you are deaf!" he pointed at the five distant members. "They broke the rules and were attacked! Just like I said! And Iloe's badly injured, they're all BANNED from the pod as of now." he snorted. "Anyone else want to test me or are we quite CLEAR that NO ONE goes in the water until I give the ok!" he shouted. "I'm so sickened with you I half wished you have been bitten too, then you could have a scar reminding you of your own stupidity!"

Iloe bit her lip, not from the pain but the prospect of getting a injection, she was not fond of needles or shots but she knew she had to accept it. She didn't want to be another burden for the Keepers and she had a feeling that Muka wanted her to get better. As the drug started taking affect Iloe fought against it. She had so much she wanted to say, mainly concerning telling Muka what happened and revealing her true feelings for him. She then sighed and allowed herself to drift into sleep.
