From within the debris blockading the cave's entrance, soft rumbling could be heard. Like a beast's talons clawing their way through rubble, the collapsed rocks stirred ominously. Cyanide and Kirika waited patiently, weapons drawn, and kept their eyes glued to the cave entrance.
Slowly, the noise grew louder and louder, until finally, a steel tiger paw with sharp metal claws tore through the rubble.
"…" Cyanide narrowed his eyes, and soon, another paw followed. And then…
BOOM!
The rest of the rubble was suddenly blown away, with the sabertooth mutant emerging behind it. As the sun was setting, its glaring red eyes weren't any less frightening as they were inside the cave. It growled in anger at the two humans who had destroyed its home, and judging from the look it had on its face, it was clear it was dead set on hunting Cyanide and Kirika down, no matter what it took.
"… Stick to the plan," Cyanide said, and Kirika gave a nod.
