Move quick. Take advantage of the tight quarters. Rip Graad's throat out before he can react, then slaughter his cronies with speed and ferocity.
Remember our wings are here in working order, it maybe can help we go a bit faster on the direction of his throat
Without hesitation, you pounce, unfolding your wings and flapping them for an extra boost of speed. The noise alerts them, but by the time they've turned around to see what's going on you're already upon them. You use your body to shove the two humans out of the way, heading straight for Graad. You slam on him, sending him crashing into the elevator wall. You catch a glimpse of his face, contorted by surprise and pain, before you sink your teeth in his throat and pull. Despite his green skin, the fountain of blood that comes gushing out has a blue hue. You leave him to die and jump backwards, flipping in mid-air to face your next opponent, blindly slashing at where you guess the humans are. You catch one with a lucky blow, slashing him across his face, sending him to the ground screaming. You spin, using your tail to knock the other off his feet before slitting his throat. You bite the last human's throat for the few seconds it takes for him to stop screaming and then stop moving, your claws sinking into his arm to keep it from reaching the blaster he is so desperate to grab.
Gained status: bloody The whole thing is over in a few seconds. You are left between the three corpses, surrounded by expanding pools of red and blue blood. The elevator door tries to close, bumps onto one of the humans' legs and then opens again, the elevator emitting an annoyed ding. After some time the rage and the adrenaline rush starts to fade, your breathing and heart rate slowly returning to normal.
You take a moment to enjoy this feeling. This feels satisfying in a way you've never experienced before. This isn't the satisfaction of the hunt. They weren't prey. They weren't even an immediate threat to you. They were pests that dared enter your home, your territory to take what is yours, to hurt your people. This is the satisfaction of giving in to anger, of making things right, of defending what is yours, of asserting your dominance over your territory.
