Horo eyed the black cloaked man carefully as the robot girl fought against him. She blinked as the various clones appeared about the cloaked man as was taken aback a moment by the sudden appearance of other robots that look just like the first one until she noticed that they had no scent and so in essence were not really there. As this was occuring, Horo was slowly backing away from the man, trying to keep enough distance from him that should he attack her or try to get to Cat, the young girl currently perched on her back, then she would have a chance to react. As she moved backwards, one of her hind legs bumped into the body of one of the black dressed soldiers she had been fighting with a few moments ago. She wasn't able to tell if this soldier was alive or dead, though she had no delibrately being trying to kill them, she was a massive creature at the moment and accidental trampling or over exhertion of jaw pressure could have killed on of them. Stepping over the body before bending down and gripping it in her jaw for a moment, before her eyes went back to the scene of the girl robot battling the strange cloaked man. Confident as she was in talking on the soldiers before, they had just be human, well armed but still human. She was not so confident about fighting these others who were displaying powers abnormal even compared to what she had witnessed already, which made things feel right out of her league. This was confirmed moments later when the cloaked man seemed to easily defend himself against the robots attack, her eyes flicking back and forth as she followed the flashing lights of the scythe blades. The words he spoke next meant little enough to Horo but she was able to tell it was some form of taunt towards the cyborg girl. The next moment she watched the scythe armed man rushing towards her, causing her back legs to tense up for a moment as she prepared to move.
As Horo prepared to act and attempt to escape, a sense of fear ran throughout her entire lupine body as she heard the voice of the man from the stage before, who had battled the machines in such a one-sided fight. She wasn't too sure of the meaning of his words, but the intent was clear enough, that he meant harm to them. Horo flinched at the sensation of fear, all the animal instincts going wild, urging her to try and move, to escape but the fear caused by the approaching man was crippling, the only movement she managed was that her jaws would clamp tighter onto the body she had picked up. A moment later, her long ears would twitch and stand up at the sound of another voice, though this one seemed to be inside her head, she did not understand the meaning of these words either, but they did seem to be more friendly than those of the others around her. She could feel the fear drain from her body as the voice in her head seemed to fade and control of all four of her limbs returned to her properly. She wasn't able to warn Cat properly about what she was going to do, all she could manage was a muffled growl, as her front legs began to tense up as well. Her first action was to toss her head to one side quickly, releasing her jaws from the body that she had picked up before, hurling it in the direction of the oncoming man in the black cloak, before bounding forward after the thrown body. She didn't imagine even a the dead weight of a flying human body would stop the scythe armed man but it might break his concentration for long enough for her to get around him. As the body flew in his direction, Horo would approach up quickly behind it, Not able to check on Cat, just hoping the girl was holding on, As she drew close to the flying body and the cloaked man, she would veer away to oneside, so she would rush past him, gaining speed as she ran. As she continued the mad dash away from the scene, she noticed from one corner of her eyes that the cybernetic girl, who had tried to help Cat seemed now to be pointing a weapon in their direction. This confused Horo for a moment but did not slow her down. She wanted away from here and away from these fearsome individuals.
