So begins another tale of good and evil, players and gil sellers, NAs and Chinese, the epic 45 minutes (and counting) fight for....
Zoraal Ja's Pkuucha!
After teleporting to Woodlands, my RDM friend spotted the birdy flying around gracefully in the morning dew. I was a 60 Blue Mage, so I said, "Enterprisemmx, my good chum, please toss a sleep on that jolly feathery chap as I change my job."
As I went to Al Zahbi and getting changed in front of my bi-sexual moogle, Enterprisemmx informed me somehow, seeing how I was atleast 5 miles away, that 2 beastmasters were waiting to kill it.
Summoning my nuclear squirrel, Carbuncle, I ran out to join the fight. The fight lasted...seconds, as Enterprisemmx went down faster than a girl on prom date.
"Enterprisemmx!" I screamed, Staff in hand, I wacked that mean birdy across the wing and got a .2 skill up. After the bird devoured one of my Carbuncles the local Yakuza, or maybe the workers at the local Chinese Resteraunt gathered around. Knowing that one was likely botting, I called for help. One of the Chinese Ninjas, Blacktulip, provoked it, and drama ensued.

While the Chinese realized their mistake and began running to Al Zahbi, I sent out a shout for help, a draft even, to help kill this bird, who already ate my pet, and wounded my beloved Enterprisemmx. A group exping saw the bird chasing the chinese players like a lawyer chasing an ambulance and jumped in.

About 3 minutes into, our nemesis, Zoraal Ja's Pkuucha let our a screech, and it's HP bar filled, and it's master joined the fight. Knowing they were outmatched, our companions ran to the subterrean zone, however, not everyone made that run alive, as Klein was defeated and promptly eaten.

Everyone poured into the cavern, except the chinese who stayed outside, my new Carbuncle was up for the task of holding as everyone piled ready to re-claim the bird!

Finally, the bird forced me into the cavern, and when I emerged the dreaded Chinese were killing it like many cats behind their dumpster.

After the smoke cleared, one disconnected, and body count, including pets, was 6 (4 pets, 2 players, who died multiple times). I returned, battered and bruised to find Enterprisemmx still facedown in the dirt, I picked her tiny body up and cried. I cried for Midgardsormr, I cried for the Empire of Aht Urhgan, I cried for Enterprisemmx, I cried for justice.
