The feral hound rushes forward, attacking Nia, looking gash her with its long claws; however, in a split second, before the attack can land, Nia calls out, "Amethyst!" *Who quickly shoots needles that Nia catches all three in the nick of time and matches the wolf's swipe at the same time; as Nia slides back into Dzzy, the Wolf skids back on all 4's itself, "Woah, are you OK? Nia?" Dzzy says to immediate checking for a wound. "Yes, I'm all right, but be careful. It's fast, you guys," She said while getting back into a fighting position. Andre called out to his spirit side and dashed to the Left of the hound and summons two butterflies in front of him; he then quickly swung his bat as the two butterflies latched on their bladed wings closed, turning the bat into a pseudo Axe "Kaldiscope Blade." Clank!! A direct hit, the Wolf sliding into the side of the tunnel wall; the wolf growls in anger and pain from the attack and prepares to get up but is interrupted by a blob of paint comes flies into it and pushes it against the wall, "Kit Stick" Cody yells out as Dex becomes a large handle that sticks sides right into the wall and trapping the hound in between. "Mrow," Cody smiles in response. "Good going, Dex." The restrained wolf thrashed around, trying to break free. It squirmed and howled loudly. Dzzy approached with JoJo beside her as she waved her hands back and forth; the aura surrounding her began to disappear, making one of Jojo's syringes fill with a bright purple liquid "Sedative Syringe, INJECTION." JoJo injects one of its needles into the struggling hound's side. It barks viciously at the initial prick before slowly calming down, and its breathing begins slowing rapidly. "I think we should be alright for now, everyone; the serum is setting in," Dzzy says, looking back to everyone; "We could get something out of them in just a bit"Andre, Nia, and Cody nod in response, "Dex back to me let them down gently if you don't mind" Dex does as asked rem, moving from the wall and turning into a large bean bag chair on the ground on instinct that the hound falls into it. "A bean bag is a little specific, don't ya think," Andre says, looking down at the transformed Dex, a bit perplexed. Cody shrugs in response. "The chairs in the office are uncomfortable, alright?" Dzzy tries to sympathize with Cody: "Well, I guess they can be less than relaxing...maybe". Nia coughs to get their attention. "Seating habits aside, I believe we should get some answers while its temper is down." The group gathers around the now much more calmed hound who is looking up to them. Andre is the first to speak. "Do you have a name you'd like to go by?" The hound shakes its head, trying its best to remember. The hound slowly speaks, "Me name is...Liam. I believe that it is." Nia decides to move the conversation along quickly. "So, Liam, do you know who did this to you? It's clearly someone with quite the vitriol towards you." The hound struggles to recall it had been transformed for so long memories were fading and blurring. "All Me know was someone hated me...they stabbed me over and over, no one came, no one saved me". Dzzy frowns in response to the story of senseless violence. "That's awful; I'm sorry to hear that happened to you." *The hound seems a bit pleased by this and nods somberly.but I no remember don't much of anything about what happened." Nia is, this, in response, "So we are starting from scratch scratchy, Dzzy,Cody do you mind watching over it in case it carries again take it back to the office and restrain it there." Dzzy salutes her,"Aye Aye. " Cody gives a thumbs up."Sounds good to me." Ande looks to Nia. "So I'm with you on investigation then?". "That's not a problem, is it?" She asks curiously, "Oh no, just not sure I'm the best fit, to be honest . This is my first time doing anything like this, Andre says, thinking. "You'll be fine, you more confident in yourself. " Cody whispers over to Dzzy. "I bet she got that from the butterflies with bladed wings." Dzzy giggles at the joke. "She's ever the pun master. Andre looks to the hound. "So how are we gonna restrain him exactly?" Dzzy speaks up proudly."Don't worry me and Cody got this. " Cody calls out to Dex out as he calls out "Cat Black Bind." Dex turns into a stray jacket that wraps around the dog tight enough to keep it snug but also to keep it contained Dzzy clasps both hands and focuses herfocuses as JoJo presents the needles on both sides of the hound "Qurinatine Ball." A purple sphere appears around the hound with small holes more than likey for breathing. Andre looks to the double rerestrained a little, concerned. "Isn't that a bit much?" Nia shrugs. "Better safe than sorry, I suppose come on, let's head out". The group heads into the van and drives to the headquarters and drops, and Drops,Cody and The Lost One. Cody comes back and puts his head in the window. "Oh yeah. something important I almost forgot!". Andre and Nia look to him inatnticipation. "Could you buy my a burger meal combo while you're out?". Nia gets irrated. "Make something the break room for goodness sake!" she says, rolling,up the window, and driving off. Andre sighs ."'I'll cover the meal." Nia gives him a surprised face. "Do you always spoil him this much, anyways since we have no leads we will need to visit a colleague of mine for some help on this one" Andre looks over intrigued "So what are they like if you don't mind me asking". Nia ponders how to respond, "She's very eccentric. I'll leave it at that," as the car drives to a shader part of town.
