Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry attempts to claim the land.

Deceptive

Your Gonna Lose...

Deceptive hearing the cry of the wolf galloped to where he was. "Get off Valkama Territory, before I make you wolf." He snorted before stopping a hoof making his meaning clear. Ears against his head the stallion waited to see what the challenger would do.

Cause I'm A Fighter...

Devil May Cry

Devil pricked his ears curiously toward the sound of hoofbeats, his ashen tail high and erect as he waited to see who would approach. Raising his hackles as he saw it was a stallion, he readied himself in case the stud attacked him here and now. Our boy wasn't about to go unprepared. Revealing his pearly whites to the equid, his golden eyes narrowed as a snarl escaped his muzzle.
Then let's go, horseflesh. I want to see if you can back up your words.

Deception

Deception snorted in anger at the canine's words. How dare the mutt challenge him, the ruler of ! He show him a think or two. Rearing up, he made the first attack. Since the brute was at the border challenging, Deception was only a feet or two away. His head snaked out at the same time, but there was no way the attack would make it. It was simply a warning for the other to get going on. The audible snap of his teeth togather could be heard. He was letting the wolf think about those same teeth munching onto him. He called out, letting the leader of Valkama Pack know they have a little challenger. That is incase the leader or someone wished to watch the show.

Devil May Cry

Devil watched the stallion with glaring golden eyes, ears pinned flat back upon their master as he raised his hackles and swished his tail in anger. Let's get going, punk. Revealing fangs behind ebony lipids, he sent a chilling growl to the stud, making it clear that he wasn't backing down. As Deception reared up, he blinked his eyes, not wanting any dirt to blind them and give the fool stallion any advantages. The only thing he had was size. Devil could handle that. Watching his jaws clamp in a warning, he growled in return, knowing the brute couldn't reach him. But now our boy could.

Leaning back upon muscular haunches, our boy came without warning right as the stallion's fore hooves touched the earth. Launching at his neck, he aimed his fangs for the stag's serpentine, willing to find any bite hold right now since it was only the beginning. Opening his paws to the razor sharp daggers within known as claws, he started raking wildly at the stallion's face, hoping to gouge an eye or gash him up pretty bad. Oh no, not your money maker. Oh dear...

Deciding to get off quick in case the stud tried to pummel him with his fore hooves which would probably only do him more damage seeing as our boy was in a pretty hard to reach spot, he leaped off, his paws reaching the soil as he turned, ready for another go.

Watching the stallion's movement for any behavior that would make it more difficult than it already was, this time the jet black wolf aimed his fangs at the stud's fore hoof, knowing it would cause a little less damage than the back hoof if he missed his target. Aiming for the top of the hoof, he was trying to slowly paralyze the stallion to where he'd fall to the ground, a very uncomfortable notion in a fight and a bad place to be for a horse in this situation. His claws targeted the stallion's lower leg, aiming to hurt the tendons or lame him through the arteries in the back of his hoof. He raked his claws hard and deep, going straight for the kill with his attack before leaping back and readying for a third assault.

This time he'd be a little more daring but prepared for it too. Stepping back till his paws found soft sand, Devil raked his paw through it quickly, sending the sand flying toward the stallion's eyes. He hoped to blind him before the next attack. Right after sending the sand flying, he launched at the stud's chest, aiming his fangs for the lower neck as his claws went to dig into Deception's chest and upper legs. This move was risky and he knew it so a quick escape was necessary. Using the stallion's chest as a jump off, he pushed and landed on the ground again, turning to size the beast up for damage before his next attack. Ready for a break yet, horseflesh?

Street Spirit & Black Star

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Fade out again
Fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
Fade out again
Fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Fade out again
Fade out again

Street Spirit was quick to arrive on the scene. She mainly stuck to the shadows for the first few moments, but quickly stepped forward when the battle turned ugly. "There will be no fighting while I am here." The mare stated calmly. She seemed placid, but she was ready to explode if Devil didn't step down.

Black Star charged past her mother, moving to stand beside Deception. She had grown quite fond of him within the last few months. "'Ey!" The mare shouted at Devil in a thick accent. "You leave 'im 'lone 'fore I trample you inta the dust! Ya hear?"

Devil May Cry

Devil straightened from his crouched fighting pose to look at the new mares who had arrived on the scene. He growled his frustration and turned his gaze to Deception in disgust.

Have you no honor to fight me one on one? You have to let two mares protect you or perhaps help? If so, let me know now and I'll find a true alpha who will fight me fair and square for this place.

Eyeing the other two with disinterest, he looked back at Deception to await his reply.

Deception

Deception watched as the wolf's first attack was to leap at him. Wrong move, punk he though. Taking a small lung with his head, to meet the brute face on when he leapt, Deception attempted to bite with all his might at the canine's chest, or whatever he could get ahold of. In the process a stray paw went over his right side of the face, leaving one rugged claw mark from the blunt fangs. Then he heard Street Spirit and Black Star. At the brute's words he priorited to catch him off guard when he looked at the mares. His back hooves came out in such a flash, and strength that the blow would hit the wolf so hard it should send him flying, and decently hurt. That is if he wasn't inhuman. One thing you didn't do was look away from your attacker, and this brute did it twice. How stupid could you get? Deception hadn't planned on hurting the lupine so bad, if he hadn't talked trash about Black Star. That was one thing he wasn't going to handle well.

Devil May Cry

Devil snarled in fury and pain as the stallion's jaws caught his chest. But seeing as he didn't try to hang on, our boy was able to wiggle his way away from the foul stud's mouth and get away with a fine scar on the hunter's face for good looks. It suits you well, he thought with a sneer.

While glaring at the two mares, Devil heard hooves lifted and looked just in time to see the brute aiming his hooves at him. Dodging to the side, a hoof caught his hindquarters and sent him to the ground for a split second. Jumping back to his feet quickly, he watched the blood drip from the bite mark onhis chest and growled. You will pay, stud.

Turning to Deception, he growled.

So you attack when my back is turned? First you let mares steer your battles then you attack someone from behind. Cowardly, you are. Face my jaws like a stud or geld yourself. Better yet, let me. I'd take great pleasure in it.

Sneering again as his fangs dropped saliva at the thought of biting the stallion, he chuckled and leaped again at the stud's side this time. His fangs aimed for the stud's withers as he meant to grab a hold and make his way to Deception's neck move by move.

Of course, he knew this would be difficult as the stud would surely rear and buck but he'd rode a bucking animal before. His jaws went to clamp on tight as his claws grabbed for the stallion's sides to hang on. He started shaking his head, hoping to tear a big wound with his teeth should they reach the intended location.

Deception

Deception laughed at the wolf's words. "You should know better than to look away, mutt face." At the wolf's jump, he flicked his tail to the side, attempting to smack it in the wolf's face, or eye vision in distraction. He felt blunt claws on his side though, but it could of been worse. The blunt claws did little damage, not even drawing blood, but simply scratching some skin. His legs carried him forth quickly, so that his back legs kicked out aiming strait for the black lupine's face.

"Leave brute, before I kill you." He warned in a posinious sounding voice.

Devil May Cry

Devil snarled as the stallion flicked his tail, but he wasn't ready for the aim at his face. He leaped back, but too late, as the stud's tresses hit him in the eyes, blinding him for a few seconds. Ok, not good. Backing away more, he snarled his fury and began pawing at his eyes, trying to get his vision back.

He had felt his claws make contact with the brute before jumping back but as he neither felt nor saw, once he had gained his vision back of course, any blood upon them, it must have been a cheap shot. He growled his frustration. Blood was what he lived to see and he'd be damned if he didn't see some and soon out of this stud.

Watching the stud as he came toward Devil, the dark prince growled at him, wondering the stallion's intentions as he came toward him. Then the stallion turned and kicked, and he was ready for it, crouching down low to the ground as he felt the wind of the stud's flints as they went over his head. He grinned looking up at the stallion's prizes as they were now in clear view. Oh, but how this could be very interesting.

So he growled and swiped a paw full of lethal claws up and between the stud's back legs, aiming at his crown jewels while his back legs still kicked up at empty air. But he knew though he was quick, those hooves would come back down pretty quickly. So he jumped just as quickly to the side, out of the way of the falling hooves as he aimed his next attack.

Racing at the bronco, he launched up at his back, leaving all his clawqs out to skin over the hunter's backbone and nerves in a teasing clawing attack as he slid right over onto his other side. Then as the stud would be still expecting him to be on his back, Devil leaped at his fore legs and swiped a deadly claw out at the heels of them, aiming for the achilles tendons to main him or just the tendons in his lower legs to paralyze him as well.

Ignoring the urge to bite at Deception as well, he leaped back away from the stag and took on a defensive posture, hackles raised, his golden eyes glaring at the gladiator as he waited for his next move. Our boy was adapting to a new tactic. He could do this forever.

Deception

Deception felt the blunt claws scrape him again, a spot that hurt like hell when he did. But as stated before they didn't do much damage. It hurt, but it wouldn't hurt for long. Angry that the lupine would dare to take such a cheap shot, he charged at him like a bull. But he veered all of a sudden to by pass him, a bite aimed at his neck. If he managed to catch hold, he would of continued on. He also would of lowered his head more, literally to drag Devil and drawn his teeth deeper. This would make a lot of blood come. Deception was done being nice.

Rinal had come looking for his mate and daughter. Seeing his leader ina fight, he came forth to help. Loyalty was one thing Rinale did. Jasper had came forth as well with Rinale. They had been on a border patrol, and they snorted threanting the wolf who was bother their lead stallion. This fight would soon be over.

Devil May Cry

Devil sneered as his claws hit their target, raking down in an almost agonizingly slow motion at the stallion's balls. As he jumped back in defense from his attacks, he noticed the stallion charging and snorted. You're not a bull, you're a horse. Get over it. Flicking his tail, he rolled to the side, avoiding the stallion's fangs. At his new vulnerable position, Devil struck, leaping at the stud's head, he aimed his fangs for the throat right behind the ears, his claws targeted his neck and face, wanting to grab hold while he grabbed the jugular with his lethal pearlies. Hoping to weaken the stallion a lot in this, he leaped back ready for his next attack. Hindquarters bending, Devil launched at Deception's shoulder, snapping his jaws at the hunter's shoulder bone to draw some blood. Hoping the bite made it, he leaped back, using his paws on the brute's shoulder and girth to leap off and ready for yet another assault. Snarling his fury, he noticed the other horses watching and sneered. Well, welcome to the show, dears. Hope it's not too much gore for you. His claws out and ready again, Devil leaped at the stallion, swiping his claws swiftly and deadly at the stallion's fore legs again, trying to lame him and make him come to the ground, ready for death and dinner. Your soul is mine. Leaping back, Devil crouched, all senses on alert, hackles raised and waiting for the stallion's next move.

Deception

As stated in the earlier post, Deception kept running on, so Devil's jump missed. There was no way he could of made that attack when Deception was going full speed already, and Devil had just rolled away from him, than attempted to leap at his head. He saw the jump at him again for a second assualt, but Deception bucked aiming his back legs up swiftly to kick the lupine. If his buck missed, than the lupine would of made the leap upon his hindquarter, but not his shoulder. And if his loyal herd members didn't pull him off in time, he would of felt teeth scrape his skin, and began bucking like hell was on him.

Rinale and Jasper came charging up, when the lupine continued his assualt. They would of made it to Deception when the wolf leapt at his shoulder, but if he wasn't kicked would of gotten on the hindquarter. They snapped at him from the side he was on the hindguarter, if he made it, hoping to tear him down, and them began stopping their hooves on his body, no hesitation. They fought at him, along with Devil, who was bucking trying to throw him off if he made it up there. Depending on whether the stallions managed to pull Devil off, would determine what happened next, or if Devil's next assualt even occured.

The smaller stallion, Jasper looked to Black Star, yelling at her to go get the other herd members. He was rebuked by Rinale though, "Pay attention, and kill the mongrel."

If Devil planned to get anywhere, he'd better get a move on it. That is if Black Star actually listened to him or not.

Street Spirit; Black Star

Spirit and Star's plan was to outnumber Devil greatly. One wolf against a herd of horses would make the chances of the horses winning much greater.

Black Star shook her head, snorting at Jasper. She wasn't going to just let her friends go it alone. "No. I'm fighting." The mare stated bluntly, charging past her mother. She ran around to Devil's hindquarters, trying to buck at his hips, legs, rump, and/or lower back.

Street Spirit, for now, simply observed. She wasn't much of a fighter. She was a thinker. If she came up with a strategy, she would not hesitate to tell her comrades.

Devil May Cry

Devil saw the hindquarters of Deception rise to hit him but too late. The hooves hit him in the chest, knocking him to the ground a few feet from Deception and out of breath to boot. He layed there for a few seconds but knew this was no time to dawdle. As he'd been flying, he remembered feeling horse teeth scraping his pelt and jumped to his feet as best he could, trying to gain back his breath. He knew he'd be hurting later for that kick but right now the adrenaline was pumping.

Checking himself over to see what Rinale and Jasper's teeth had done, he found only tufts of hair missing. Ok good, so they didn't reach his skin. He could thank his thick winter coat for that. His gaze narrowed back on Deception, as he was the main fight here, and snarled. His eyes almost looked pitch black with the fury he was gaining from this fight. You think this is over? Not quite.

A lone ear swiveled as Devil caught the sound of hoofbeats. Oh great, more horses. So they don't fight fair. Scared Deception's going to lose? You should be. I'll make sure he does. Go ahead, watch his back and go at me too if you will. I'll just come back to you once he's defeated. His gaze focused on Black Star, watching as the mare said something to another horse and took off toward him. Nice try, filly. You're too dumb and predictable. As she ran around to his hindquarters, he simply leaped clear of her bucking and chuckled. Now back to the real fight here.

Knowing he'd have to be quick to dodge the other horses who had decided to join in too, Devil raced at Deception, leaping at his shoulder again, he snapped his jaws down hard at the demon's neck, hoping to draw blood. To add injury to insult, he shook his head vehemently, trying to open the wound even more if he had indeed sunk his teeth into the stud. His lethal claws targeted the chest and shoulder, trying to dig deep into his flesh and make some pain for Deception.

Leaping away, he rushed Deception again, his ears swiveling to keep an eye, or ear rather, on the other horses here. If they tried anything again, he'd be ready. This time Devil risked it, bluffing the stallion by acting like he was going to leap at his chest or back again, he instead jolted himself and rushed under the stallion's stomach, raising his head up to snap at Deception's tender belly as he ran. If he aimed true, then he'd be pulling a lot of skin with him in a second.

Racing to the other side, he turned swiftly and jumped at Deception's neck, his jaws hoping to close down on the stallion's neck, right under the chin. Indeed this time he was going big time. The jugular was in this crippling spot and he'd be putting his full force into the bite, and this boy was no weakling. His deadly claws tried to dig into the stallion's cheek and neck this time to confuse Deception in all the pain in different places on his body at once while his life fluids drained in Devil's throat. Ah, he thought about the sweet taste, his mind already reeling in ecstasy. Let's bring the blood.

Deception & Others

Deception, Jasper, and Rinale clustered togather, watching each others back as the wolf made his next attacks. As he raced at Deception to get his shoulder, Rinale neck lowered quickly comming at Devil, to get a good nip or tear somewhere. Deception kicked out, incase Rinale's attack missed, but he seriously doubted it.

At the second attack for the belly, Jasper's shorter height was able to easily snap at Devil who was under his leader's belly trying to get to it. His attack was quick since he was right there, and it would most likely be easy enough to stop him. Deception seeing the black wolf go under him, moved forth, so if the attack was made it took only a little of his skin, since the wolf was going horizontal, and Deception was going vertical. A few drops of blood showed, some falling to the ground. This happened if Jasper was late with his counter attack.

When he raced to the other side, Jasper bucked attempting to hit the wolf when he went for Deception. His head shot out for Deceptions side, ready to snap at the wolf if he made it up there somehow if the buck missed. Rinale reached his own neck over ready to assist his herd members.

Devil May Cry

Devil dimly felt Rinale's flat grazing teeth catch his back as he ran and some stinging pain as another tuft of hair was pulled from his hide. Hair would grow back, no big deal. His gaze still focused on the prize, Devil dodged Deception's kick as he launched at his neck, his teeth finding the stallion's tender skin as he tore into it. He let his claws continue to dig at the stallion's thin coat, trying to rip some gashes into his fine horse flesh. Devil knew his targets well and he had picked a good spot. That would definitely make a good mark for Deception to show all his mates later on. Devil would make sure there's more where that one came from. Launching off of the stud, Devil found his balance as he landed gracefully on his paws, already raised and ready for his next attack.

Devil snarled as he saw Jasper snaking out to take a nip at him, training his eyes on Deception's stomach as he picked up another gear, making it past as Jasper snapped at the air behind him. As he had rushed by, he swiped quickly with a large paw set with deadly claws, trying to catch Jasper's tender nose as he went by. How would that feel? Still ready to take on a killer? Devil caught a bit of skin with his fangs as he rushed under the titan's stomach, pulling it away with his teeth. Feeling some sweet tasting liquid slide down his throat as he quickly spit out the hair and skin, Devil stopped on his haunches, making a full one eighty to face his target again. We're not done yet, bud.

Already focused on the next goal, Devil raced back at Deception's neck, his claws grabbing hold as his strong bull dog like jaws clamped down tight on the hunter's tender neck. He had aimed for the life cord and since Deception didn't either block or dodge the attack, he was sure his deadly fangs now rested on the czar's jugular. Grabbing a hold, he felt the life of Deception in his dentals and damn, did it feel good. His body had danced in the air when he saw Jasper was there to meet him, aiming bucks and kicks his way. Fool horse, you're no match for me. Devil had made it to his targeted area nd he was ready for some real bloodshed now. Clamping his pearlies around Deception's very life vein, he suddenly felt Jasper's teeth snap onto the back of his neck and a deep snarl rose from his throat, though not enough to loosen his hold any on Deception's neck.

Trying to forget the teeth in his neck since it was on the wrong side, no where near his own jugular and his thick neck and fur would keep the horse's jaws from doing so from the back, Devil made the final blow, biting down with all his strength on Deception's throat to successfully take his life from him. He waited for Jasper to either let go with his teeth for another attack or pull him off of Deception, in which case Deception's jugular was going with him cause he was locked on tight. Either way Deception was a goner. As Rinale went in too, Devil let go one paw to swipe it at her tender face, trying to hit an eye, nose, anything. He wasn't going to be meat for anyone to trample until he felt Deception's sweet nectar slide down his throat.
