More resistance had been expected, but Kirin was not expecting the enemy to begin shelling. As he heard the shots firing he gave a slight smirk. "It seems they don't care much for their foot soldiers, do they?" As he spoke Kirin halted in his tracks, glancing up should he need to dodge incoming fire. A shell smashed down a good ways ahead of him, however Kirin was well outside it's range. Once impact had been made Kirin resumed his march, but stopped once more as a loud rumbling filled the air. Soil burst in all directions as "something" snaked from the ground, soon forming into a massive flytrap.<br/><br/>Kirin's worst worries were realized as the plants began to attack troops, slurping them in from all directions. Kirin however was not discouraged, and turned to a nearby whimpering. The sound seemed to be coming from a young human soldier, whom was completely out of his element. He had managed alright thus far, but the sight of the plants was far too much for him. There was no struggle as Kirin wrapped the youth in one of his tails, pulling him close. "Well, you don't quite seem cut out for battles." The soldier had seen what Kirin had done to his most recent meal, and he could not manage to stammer out an answer. This inspired Kirin to have a bit more fun with him, and to his horrer the tail's tip opened, revealing a green lined maw. Teeth extended from it, like a ring of viper fangs, and a blue tendril-like tongue slitherer out, slathering him with slobber. Kirin simply teased him with the hidden mouth however, before using his tail to fling the soldier into the path of one of the plant. As he landed, Kirin called out. "They may be genetically programmed to ignore human signitures, you have a fifty-fifty chance."<br/><br/>It was obvious that he would provide no more problem, regardless of the plants actions, and Kirin decided to focus on overcoming the obsticle ahead of him. Kirin's nine tails lifted upward, and his fur began to ripple as he focused. This continued for a few moments before Kirin's fur fell still once more. He quickly glanced down, shaking his head. "Hmph, still not strong enough..." Initially Kirin had been powerfully psychokinetic, however after the incident with B-1247 he had lost these abilities. They were slowly regenerating, but it seemed he would have to rely on his other attributes for this battle. Even when they were normal size, Kirin was not a fan of vegetables and these seemed far too large to attempt eating anyway.<br/><br/>As if the four initial plants, or one for that matter, were not problem enough a wall soon sprang up around the enemy base. While Kirin was outside the initial plants tendril range, he still knew that the furs were in trouble. Kirin was very capable of eating something the size of these plants, but he knew he would be killed before he could get a bite in. After a few moments of thought, and wishing that the B-12 experiments had succeeded, he turned to the wolverines. "I'll distract it for a time, use your claws to cut into the stem." The wolverine were over eleven feet in height, with long razer sharp claws, but even they knew it was unlikely this would work. Kirin engaged the plant first, reading his tails in such a manner that they resembled a cloak of cobras. While outside the range of the mouth, many tendrils lashed out to grab Kirin. As the first approuched he responded in kind, wrapping a tail around it's mass. A struggle broke out between the two, but finally Kirin's managed to grip the vine within it's hidden mouth. It was not possible to pull it all the way in, and so after gaining a bit of leverage Kirin's teeth bit in. As the plants inner fluid filled Kirin's tail, with quite an interesting flavor, Kirin began to slip further in, now apparently riding the vine. The plant bit at the tiny fox, but he managed to use it's own movements to avoid the attacks. As he bobbed through the air, Kirin gave a single arm movement, ordering the wolverines to attack the stem.
