Owner Pose
Zorro This should've been a easy operation for Zorro. Members of the Rolling Aces street gang were hustling couterfeit perscription drugs, causing the death of an old woman. Zorro, wishing to avenge her death, managed to track down one of the Ace's hangouts, a old gazebo in Williamsburg. Things however, took a turn for the worst when one of the Ace's managed to disarm him. Zorro did not know how it happened, one moment he was driving his rapier through the shoulder of one of the gang members, the next it went flying out of his hands to the grass nearby. The martial arts he learned from Captain America and Wasp were enough to take out three more Aces, but he suddenly hit in the back by a baseball bat, knocking him down to the ground.

If anyone were to walk by, they would see a group of Aces beating on a man in black, yelling swears as they did. In the background, they would notice five Aces lying on the ground, thee of them unconcious, two of them clutching flesh wounds and crying in pain.
Mercy Thompson Not so much walking by, as padding by is a coyote. Mercy's out here on four paws....mostly since she booked it away from Animal Control. Now she's in Williamsburg and just roaming the streets. Sure, she could go home. But. But. Nah. Coming across the scene, Mercy pauses, watching. She decides...there and then, to jump in and help. Four paws, sixteen claws, and teeth
Zorro One of the Aces sees the Coyote coming and let's out a small laugh. It appeared that a stray dog was trying to help protect the bastard that fucked up five of his crew. He lets out another laugh as he appraoches the snarling, angry looking coyote and tries to kick it while saying," Beat it yah mangy mutt!"
Mercy Thompson Mercy was going to leap up to somewhere good to spring from. BUt now? Ankle's an easy target. Springing with four paws powering her leap, and with jaws wide open....Mercy is locked on the leg. Coyote teeth are sharp, and dangerous, and deadly. If she was on two legs, she'd be using her she shi kai kan karate training to help. As is, four paws, teeth and claws aplenty. Mercy's not a happy little coyote in the least. Far, far from it...and being kicked out at? Just sours her mood further
Zorro The Ace lets out a cry of pain as he gets bitten on the ankle. He then falls to the ground and tries to shake his ankle while saying," Get if off of me!" One of the other Aces pulls away from the group and rushes at the "dog" and tries to swing at it with a baseball bat.
Mercy Thompson Mercy can run up to freeway speeds. She lets go and is long past by the time the bat's swung at where she was. Instead, she's gone through the legs and is running around, nipping and biting. She's going to need clothes...mostly since her plan's to get back on to legs and help with hands and feet. Not paws and claws, effective as they may be. First order of business. Clothes!
Zorro As you run through the legs of the gang members, who let out cries of pain and swears as you nip at them. You suddenly see a clothes line, obviously someone is hanging there clothes out to dry. You see a gray t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans that appear to be your size.
Mercy Thompson Mercy steps from being a coyote, to a buck naked Native American woman, quickly dressing. She loooks over her shoulder, pulling on clothes. Sure, she can fight like this wearing just the basics and what's on the line, yes...it's still more than some people in this city get away with.....

Planting a foot, Mercy waits. Then she wades into the thick of the fight. If they're beating on somebody....that's Mercy's cue to help out. Hey she may get an unlikely friend out of it.
Zorro The Aces assumed that the dog had run off somewhere and were still looking for it when you appear in your human form. A couple of the goons had gone back to beating on the man in black, who is crying out in pain and appears to be bleeding from the nose and from a gash on the head. Suddenly,one of the Aces notices you and, with a look of surprise, suddenly rushes at you swinging his fists, no doubt to get rid of any witnesses.
Mercy Thompson Mercy's a purple belt in karate. She's waiting, and ducks the punch, countering with a strike aimed at the guy's shoulder, all the while aiming a kick at her opponent's knees. Sensei taught her shi she kai kan, an oddball form of karate meant for soldiers in CQB and multiple opponents. Mercy's well aware it's a hard style. But she's taken the blows in the dojo. She's not going down easily. Daughter of THE Coyote and all that. Looking over the guy, Mercy waits and is ready for his next move
Zorro The man cries out in pain and is staggered by the shoulder and knees. Suddenly, he lets out a snarl of anger as he pulls out a pocket-knife from his back pocket and rushes you with it.
Mercy Thompson This just got serious. Mercy ducks and now brings her leg up in a kick, more for tripping than kneecapping. Oy her father won't be happy if Mercy gets hurt. Or worse. Still, in her just grabbed off the line clothes, Mercy is still fighting. Looking to the rushing guy, she just leaps out the way. Hey, it works in cartoons...though Mercy's not afraid to add a kick aimed at the back of his knees....and throwing a chop at his ribs, too. It's not what Sensei taught her, but this isn't the dojo!
Zorro The man stumbles from the trip, and is knocked out from the other blows. As the man falls to the ground with a heavy thud, two more Aces come at you, one with a bat and another with a lead pipe. Meanwhile, the two Aces beating at the man in black are still at it.
Mercy Thompson Mercy whirls, leg slicing out as she looks at them both. "Start running" she tells herself, shaking her head. "Start running"
RWhich is what she does for a few paces. She's offfering up hands and fists in blows as well, karate, at least how Mercy was taught, is about about using your your opponent against themselves. She's watching the bat and hands and feet, too.
Zorro One of the goons was knocked out from the blows you threw at them. As the first goon falls to the ground, clutching his now bleeding nose. The second, also bleeding goon, takes one look at you and staggers away. The final two men, who are still beating on the man in black, taka one look at you and charge at the same time.
Mercy Thompson Mercy's seen her chance. Grabbing the bat, she's swinging away like a Gotham Knight facing an off speed slider when sitting on a fastaball. Or, hacking away wildly. Mercy's prepared to throw throw the bat at this rate...it's hampering her karate style. So she does. Just...heaves the bat at the two men and crouches a little. This is what a purple belt against these thugs gets her. She remembers where the bat lands. And oh yeah, she's totally ready to beat people down with it if needed. Mercy though....she just does better with hands and/or feet, or paws and claws and teeth.
Zorro The two gonns fall down to the ground from the Bat being thrown at them. As they stagger to get back on their feet, they see you ready to fight them again. They take one look and flee, leaving the man in black lying all alone, bleeding and groaning in pain.
Mercy Thompson Mercy steps over and dialls 9-1-1. Because there's unconcious and hurt gang members. Or at least Mercy assumes gang members. And some poor soul they were beating up on, too. She explains it all, mentioning the gang have weapons and they're out cold too. SHe looks to the guy they were beating up on. "You okay?" Mercy asks with a look down past her boots. Ah come on, her boots are scuffed. Steel toe boots too.....she's gonna need to buy a new set...
Zorro Zorro slowly get up, staggering up and groaning and moaning as he did. As he got up, you could tell he was bleeding from both the nose and from a gash at his head. He nods and says to you in a weak voice," I think I will be ok Senorita. Thanks for the help." As he says this, he spits out blood from his mouth.
