>You had never been in a real fight.>Sure, a few scraps as a kid.>Insults, pushes, angry glares that felt world-ending back when school was the entire world. >The fast heartbeat, bristled hairs, and sweaty palms…>The world narrowing to just you and the mean kid…>Nothing compared to this.>You wished you thought about that before jumping.>You landed gracefully on all fours, unnoticed.>The trio continued their metallic meal.>Aggron towered over everything nearby like a steel fortress.>She ripped and sheared a truck apart with claws that tore metal like paper.>You did not want to get close.>You edged forward, paws raised in a non-threatening gesture.>To draw her attention, and hoping not to startle her, you let your aura pulse gently.>A soft blue glow enveloped your palms and faded away.>Three pairs of blue eyes focused on you.>Two were wide and petrified.>One was furious.>Aggron lumbered forward, putting her massive frame between you and her children.>You did not want this to come to blows.“Look, hey…”
>Her growl rumbled like thunder, even this far away.“I don’t want to fight, okay? See?”
>You raised your paws higher.>Aggron scowled and swiped her heavy arm in a wide arc.>An oddly human gesture.>Like shooing a fly away.>The universal sign for “get out of here.”>That raised your hopes.>Maybe she couldn’t talk, but perhaps she wasn’t completely feral.“You have to move, alright?”
>She roared loud enough to make you wince.>”No. You move.” Was your interpretation.
