They came to what looked like a skate park and they slowed to a stop to listen for more screaming and take in their surroundings. Just then two small serpentine children ran past them but halted immediately when a large muscular teenage human boy stood in the way of the tunnel Zephyr and the others had just came from. The serpentine children shrieked at the sight of him and cowarded into a corner. Zephyr looked at them, but they only looked back at her in fear. Some other teenagers who looked and dressed much like the one blocking the tunnel soon ran up to them, the young serpentine screamed again. Zephyr, Lisa, Jadyn and Moe were the only thing standing between the ruff teenagers and the small serpentine. Everyone stood there in awkward silence for a moment before the one blocking the tunnel said 
" I can see ya four are only passerbyers. Just leave, this business doesn't concern you. "
"What business? " asked Lisa backing closer to the serpentine. Zephyr put on her guard and sensed Jadyn, Moe and Lisa getting tense beside her as well. 
" Well if you must know we're going to show these scale faces a thing or two for what their ancestors did. "Said a different teen. 
" So get lost! " Said another.
" No." Said Jadyn surprisingly calmly, " We won't let you harm them."
" Are you seriously challenging us?!" Demanded the one in front of the tunnel. 
" Maybe. This doesn't have to end in violence though. "
" But it sure could. There's only four of you and there's seven of us, so you don't stand a chance!"  At that point the teen had had enough talk and rushed toward Jadyn with a shout. Within that same moment all the other teens attacked and Zephyr was forced to use her training for real for the first time ever.
One of the two teens that were girls came close and lunged at her. Zephyr couldn't move out of the way in time though and the girl gave her a sharp punch to the shoulder. It felt like someone had just thown a rock at her. In response Zephyr kicked her in the back and the girl stumbled to the ground. 

Zephyr then noticed that one of the male teens had went for the serpentine. She grabbed his leg and tripped him. She then hit him continuously with her fists and feet to make sure he was down, he wouldn't stay down though and while Zephyr was distracted by him, the girl from before came up and kicked her in the back. And then right after wrestling her to the ground where they both tried to overpower one another, luckily Zephyr remember something from training that proved useful, she got her legs under her opponent and pushed her off, once the girl had no power over her, Zephyr pinned her to ground and hit her hard in the gut. The girl gasped for air and Zephyr turned her attention back to the serpentine. They were slowly moving along the wall over to one of the skate park structures where a boy with black hair and a green jacket was motioning for them to climb up the steps and join him, they seemed to trust him, so Zephyr figured they must be safe enough. 

Suddenly the big muscular teen jumped out from a hiding spot around the corner. Jadyn punched at him hard square in the nose and the teen fell back, red splattering all over his face. Jadyn stepped back and looked his hand in disgust, it was full of the red liquid and in addition to that his jacket now had darker red stans on the red fabric.

" I'm Lisa, and this is Moe, Zephyr and Jadyn. " Lisa explained. 
Nathan opened the door to the house and they went in.
