Brave looked to the wildclaw, sending a silent thanks. She turned back to the second attacker, slashing at his exposed neck with renewed vigour. He leapt into the air to avoid the coatl's blows. Brave flew after him, tackling him to the ground. She wrapped her claws around his neck and began to strangle him.
A force slammed into her, knocking her off the dragon. She turned to face the new attacker, fangs bared. A guardian starred back at her, a firey rage burning in her eyes. The golden coatl lunged at the larger dragoness, slashing at her underbelly. She knew that even with the extra help, they'd be overpowered eventually, and either die or be forced to retreat.

Nightmare grappled in the sky with a spiral, trying to gain the upperhand. The spiral twisted around the imperial's blows, taunting the other dragon. He darted in to land a scratch on Nightmare's wing, and danced away before the larger male could retaliate. I can't keep this up for much longer!
The imperial's claws sunk into the spiral's wing, forcing him to flee. Nightmare surveyed the fight, looking for an enemy to attack. A dull, hopeless feeling weighed him down as he gazed upon the clearing. They were fighting a losing battle. Swallowing his pride, the imperial opened his jaws and let out a roar.
"Retreat!"
(I'm going to go to sleep now.)

Now, Maloid was willing to throw in a few punches for small little fights like this, but she wasn't ready to take on a full-grown Guardian. Admittedly, she backpedaled, eyes wide. What was she doing? This wasn't her fight.
At hearing the shout of retreat, she took that as a sign and turned tail to flee into the forest. Jem was still standing unsurely at the edge of the fighting, and he saw Maloid's actions as his cue to run. This didn't have anything to do with them, it was beyond him why Maloid jumped in in the first place.

"Stop them!" The Pearlcatcher bellowed, eyes glinting with frustration. With a savage motion, he swung out his two shadowy tendrils and whipped thin around the golden coatl's legs, dragging her in.

Brave cried out in pain, clawing at the ground as she was yanked towards the pearlcatcher. She slashed at the ropes of shadow, to no avail. Paralyzing fear leaped in her heart as she realized that she faced a high chance of death. The faces of strange and unfriendly dragons surrounded her as the tendrils brought her to a stop by the roaring fire. They parted, letting a Rigeback in flowing robes through.
"Take her to the shrine."

Nightmare could only watch as Brave was dragged to the group of dragons. He didn't know why he hadn't called a retreat before the battle even started. His pride got in the way, clouded his judgement. The Imperial shook away his thoughts and turned to fly into the forest. What was done couldn't be changed. He needed to focus on getting him and his clanmates (and those other two dragons, if they needed) to safety.
(Hi! I have a bit of a creativity block, so I might take longer to respond.)

The two dragons darted and wove through the trees as if a second nature, trying to split up away from the new group. The battle had turned, so it officially wasn't their problem anymore. It didn't take Maloid long to start panting heavily, and finding this odd, Jem turned to see that she had a long, shallow gash in her side.
Cursing, he skidded to a halt, tail lashing. Before he could say anything, Maloid pushed him along. Stopping wasn't going to help them now, they could deal with it when they were somewhere safe.

The male Pearlcatcher sent a glance at the two coatls, before turning back to the group, temper flaring. [b]"[i]Idiots![/i] This isn't enough, go get the rest!"[/b] he snarled savagely, a dangerous tint to his eye.

[b]"Got it!"[/b] shrilled another very similar-looking Pearlcatcher, darting around the fire and into the forest, heading in the direction the Imperial went.
The remaining Pearlcatcher swung back around to the gathered dragons. [b]"There were others! Go, go, go!"[/b]
