The other two seemed to know the plan and their place in it and that was all he could ask for, as he steadied himself and readied for whatever was to come next. The moments passing by with agony as the anticipation was beginning to literally kill him with boredom! He was a Tanuki of action and having nothing to physically do while waiting was abject terror in a nutshell as far as his mind was concerned. His patience however thin it was becoming though would be reworded as after maybe a half hour or more the heads of what was more then likely their targets came into view.
Minora became a distraction which was perfect as it allowed him to begin lining up his shots as he aimed down his rifle and concentrated on the enemies one at a time. It seemed that four men and a fifth straggler were clambering down the narrow and icy snow laden path, the two in the front had axes with them and wore furs and cloth, while the two behind them held bows and had simple leathers over their clothes. The straggler seemed to be holding a spear and a lantern but he was the most noticeable as he seemed an easy four or five decades older then the others and was clearly more feeble then them.
Thinking about who to target first he settled on the archers as he fired his rifle twice, unleashing a pulsating sonic bolt from its maw towards them and colliding with their stomachs one after another, their immediate retching and doubling over a good enough opening volley on his end, not that the sonic bolts did more then that. Now was the time for action though as he would wait until the melee focused bandits got closer and then he would use one of his explosives on them.
"Take that you bastards! Stealing from others.... Ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves!"

I circled above as our targets drew close. And come close they did - close enough to see Minerva, close enough for Hano to have a clear, and deadly shot at the two who brought up the rear. One of their axe welding companions whipped around at the sound of comrades' sounds of anguish, scanning the bush for the perpetrator. The other also looked around nervously, but never let Minerva out of his sight. There was a fifth person, running away after having seen what had befallen those before him. Probably going to report to his superiors, and now of course we can't have that. So I dive bombed him, some forty kilos of bird person, barbed with wicked claws, falling as fast as gravity could take me. As landed on him I could feel the moment his ankles gave way, my talons feet met blood and we both landed on the ground, bloodied. It wasn't a pleasant sensation ( though sometimes it was), but what's done is done. From the sky to the ground it was all just a matter of seconds, and silent aside from the sound of his body dropping. I dragged him off to the side of the way, checking that he was well and truly dead before taking to the sky again, to reassess the situation.

Clearly the other two could follow orders to an extent excellent, though the one airborne companion seemed a little off he seemed a little like her just hiding something others would not understand, she took her eyes from the action for a moment but that was long enough for one of the bandits to close in for an attack, the young man raised his sword and came down onto Minora’s shoulder cutting through the black fur and cloth that cover her shoulder. The sword slashed her shoulder cutting deep, Minora let out a loud scream before she lifted her hand threw larger rocks flew past her head two hitting him in the stomach while the third made it’s way to his head but with enough time he prepared for the third rock smacking it back with his sword but the other two rocks pushed him back 10 feet from Minora.
The bandit held his stomach staring over at Minora as her hand glowed with its black and red fire she placed her hand on her shoulder and yelled again cauterizing the open wound. Her hair flowed as her eyes became orange and an almost overjoyed look appeared on her face.
“Excellent an example.”
Her hands glowed with fire again throwing them toward the man hitting him impacting his chest and leaving him flat on the ground his breathing raspy burns all over his chest, Minora walked over to him and said.
“Please don’t move, I don't want you dying too quickly, I'm going to need you, my special little man.”
Minora walked over to the bandit and placed her hand on his chest as he screamed and cried distracting the other bandits with his screams shaking their moral, as his screams were agonizing and this was their friend she was doing this to and it’s exactly what she wanted she wanted them to fear her as if she was death itself.

He watched on as the others did their part perfectly and with a fury that he had not expected out of them. The group they had been hired to deal with were reeling now as they scattered and ran for their lives or so it seemed, before they were met with the blades and talons of his companions it seemed.
The two archers had begun to recover from the sonic bolts that Wako had assailed them with, their retching and nausea fading as the centered themselves and began firing back at the Tanuki with a fervor that was fueled by pure hate. An arrow loosed by each of them found purchase in the Tanuki's right side and shoulder as he slumped against the tree he had been using for cover. Looking to the others he shouted to his group, "Keep the pressure on them! We almost have 'em!".
Attaching his last grenade to the tip of his "rifle" he fired another sonic bolt out from its tip and launched the flask near the ground by the archers as it exploded and knocked them off their feet, snow and debris flying into the air around them. If he couldn't kill them he would at least be damn sure he inconvenienced them!

I heard an explosion and my eyes flicked to it’s source.Considering that the young miss was occupied, it was from the Hano Tanuki. Hano-Tanuki? Hanotanuki? Or just Tanuki? or Hano? That’s a thought for later. I looked where he had taken cover and saw him slumped against the tree, not looking good. The knowledge that I had a fist aid kit weighed in my mind, but first, I needed to take down the two that Wako had stunned. He seemed to know how to handle himself on a mission, and could probably take care of himself. Considering that a lot of the stuff I carried was probably more suitable for birds and tieflings, which he… wasn’t I might not be able to help him much any way. So, after a split second of thinking, I flew over and pulled the same dive-stab maneuver on one of the archers, falling a few meters before my talons met blood. I whipped around to deal with his friend to find they’d dropped their bow and had a dagger almost at my neck. I slapped his hand away, the forearm length blade making a thin scratch along my throat before I trapped his hands, swept my legs behind his. He fell, dropping his dagger and I made quick work of him as well, the crushing feeling of dread and disgust at myself as I forced myself to watch him go slack under me. I’ve done it before, did it not five minutes ago, but (I hope) it will never grow to be a familiar feeling. I looked to see how the other two were doing.
