Hydras, Bullet, & Ankh

Hydras charged into the territory with her body held low in a defensive position but her ears forward and hackles raised to their highest. She paused as her brother and niece stood by her side to howl out a warning to the Sedge Creek pack; or 'Alley pack', as they had once been known.

Kiarra

The grey wolfess stalked in behind them, her body held low in a defensive position as well. She had a limp, but that was all, it wouldn't effect how she faught.

Sasha Jake and Saquioa

Sasha howled. She was howling for Moon spirit and Storm Warning. She then turned towards her two friends and made a signel. They stopped next to Hydras. Sasha growled low and threatningly. Death would come quickly here.

Danger

Danger shook his head. "A home I have n-" Danger's body went rigid, his auds laced back. The ebony brute whirled around in the direction of the warning. The Lurkers. His hackles rose and a deep growl of seething hatred surfaced. These mutts were the ones who fatally wounded Summer. Though the Lurkers had not caused his offspring’s’ disappearance, Summer's death had torn through the pack like a knife, and now there would be much hell to pay. He squared himself evenly on all four paws and glanced back at Fresca. He then threw back his head and returned his own threatening ballad. He let it be known to the Lurkers that, should they continue; the White River pack would fight for the survival of the Sedge Creek pack. Danger had tactfully left out the fact that it was only he who remained of the pack, or so he thought. With one more mighty breath, he rent the air with a final call.

Raven

The black wolfess had been traveling through the area when she heard a familiar call. She reconized it as Danger, she had helped his pack and the Alley pack fight against the Lurkers a while back, it was herself who had helped kill Skeil's mate, Darth. She had been wounded badly in the last badle she was in and seeked revenge on the Lurkers. Sense it was Fresca's tt she didn't worry about being in trouble for intruding, figureing that they nedded her help. Slowly the ebone wolf slunk towards the group of wolves. Giving a single bark to Danger, letting him know she was here. She wasn't sure he would reconize her, sense she had mostly been around his son, Blazed, whom had asked her to be his mate a while back but then he suddenly desapeared. Blinking away the memory of Blazed she watched Danger and the Lurkers, she couldn't let that memory interfear with her fighting.

Hydras, Bullet, & Ankh

"Fresca's pack is weakened, don't let them intimidate you!" she urged her pack before begining a steady charge towards Danger's howl. Bullet and Ankh followed just behind on either side of their alpha. She felt confident with the addition of three adult members as well as some possible back-up from their own allies. "Long time no see!" she sneered as she began to circle the three enemies. She signaled her pack to encircle Danger, Raven, and Fresca.

Vindari and Dangerous Summer

Back in their first home, Vindari was nonchalantly gnawing away at a bone of their most recent kill. She and her sister had been doing quite well on their own. Blazed had left to find their father and Rage was out on a short patrol. If it weren't for the fact that the pack was diminishing, it was almost peaceful. A sudden sorrowful howl split the silence and sent birds flying in every direction. Dangerous Summer ceased digging into one of he many caches ad looked about, twin peaks erect and rotating. Vindari snapped the remains of the bone and stretched. Both of the regal snow white femmes rose and stood side by side, letting the call register with them. Vindari didn't think twice and shot off towards the border of Sedge Creek. Dangerous Summer tucked her head and bolted after her sibling. Summer passed her sister and cut her off, stopping them abruptly as they entered the territory. Vindari, being the more aggressive of the two snapped warningly. "It's our father, Summer, we have to help him!" Summer snapped back and strode forward steadily, peeking over the hill. To her left was the refreshed group of Lurkers, and in the distance to her right were her father, Blaze’s mate, and Fresca. The sisters looked at each other in silent question, where were the others? "We should go." Summer started up the hill but Vindari harshly protested. The younger had taken after her father in her tactful ways, and she saw opportunity knocking on the door. "We wait until the Lurkers advance. Now come, we must get down wind." Summer dipped her head followed her junior.

They stood a ways down the slope, auds alert and waiting. The fighting would begin soon, and the two would wait until both sides engaged before joining their pack. At the moment, they were invisible to all those before them. Their scent was masked, their forms hidden from view, and no one could see them unless they came into their little niche in the hill.

Danger

Danger looked over at Raven as she slid beside himself and Fresca. A thankful nod is given to the female. Of course he remembered her. Though he had not seen her much, Blazed had talked much about her when they had last talked. Suddenly he was jerked out his thoughts as the Lurkers circled. So they had grown, eh? "Yes, Hydras, a very long time indeed." He scanned the group and saw no sign of Demon. "Where's that tagalong Demon? I thought he couldn't stand to be away from the safety of the pack?" He watched Hydras as she went around their trio, his amber orbs occasionally glancing back to her followers.

Sasha Jake and Saquioa

Sasha growled. She then heard something in the wind. It was Aaka. She couldnt come. The fight at the ruins. Mitya. Aakas shoulder. Cant make it. Moon Sprit could. Storm Warning may or may not. Death Could. And Buddy. Sasha smiled. Even the best fighter Sasha knew couldnt come Others could. More. She would call them. Sasha howled.

Moon Spririt came trotting in, her white coatglimmering. "Oh nice pack you have here Fresca. I may take it over myself." Moon looked at all of them. She only knew three. But by the looks of it they had joined a pack. She growled and waited. Until Death came. Death. One of Aakas best friends. And one of her best fighters.

Ninaki & Kneyon

Ninaki joined in the circle around the three, growling lightly and casting quick glances from the three canines to his alpha. He was ready to avange Storm Dancer, even if none of these canines had actually caused her death.

Kenyon, like his brother Ankh, was getting close to the size of an adult now; especially him, the largest of his litter. Neither had adult strength or speed, but they could do serious damage.

Hydras, Bullet, & Ankh

Hydras gave a leering grin, "Concerned about Demon's whereabouts? You should be, considering how many times he's beaten you." Hydras taunted Danger. Truthfully, she dind't know where her mate was, but of course that bit of information wouldn't be good told to the enemies. She glanced to Moon Spirit a moment, not knowing who she was. It was obvious though that she was a friend to Jake and the others, so Hydras had no problem with her being here. "Yes, in fact this pack will be yours once this battle is over. If that's what you wish." Hydras told her, hoping to encourage her to fight all the more. "Now, lets get this party started." With her head low and pulled close to her body, the she-alpha charged at the three. Her first aim was to collied straight into Fresca while going for a hold on her front leg.

Bullet rushed in with his sister, taking Danger as his first target. He lunged at the titan with snapping jaws, but didn't actually make contact. It was a bluff charge to try and initiate a response from Danger.

Ankh went for Raven. He darted in a swift circle around her, then sprung in to try and slash at her side before springing away again.

Danger and Co.

Vindari skirted around the hill to see the advancing and was surprised to see more Lurkers gathering. She looked back as a twig snapped and her sister came into view. "They've grown." Dangerous Summer let loose a small growl and turned. The two went to the top of the hill, in plain view and stood still as could be. Though were in plain view, the porcelain coats camouflaged then perfectly. Vindari threw back her head finally giving away their position, and let loose a chilling call. Dangerous Summer joined in with an octave lower and then they stood still once more, watching the lurkers. Any minute now, their uncle and brothers would arrive, or so they hoped.

Danger sized up the pack as it grew by the minute. The three of them were good enough fighters, when the need arose. And if today they would die, he would take down as many as he could before giving in. He watched Hydras intently as she spoke. No Demon? He hadn’t time to think for Hydras, Bullet and Ankh were lunging towards the group. He tucked his head and shot at Bullet, hoping for a head on collision, jaws agape and ready to snap.

Vindari was bolting down the hill as soon as Hydras charged, heading straight towards Hydras. Her limbs were a blur and her coat blending extremely well along the surroundings as she closed in on the enemy alpha and lowered her crown. She planned to make impact with the hybrid’s chest and shove her away from Fresca. Dangerous Summer, on the other hand, skirted around the group and charged from behind. She snapped her jaws at Ankh's hind limb as he circled. If she had indeed caught his paw, she jerked her head back in hopes to get him away from Raven. Summer thrashed her head about and then let go, making a lunge for the next closest, Moon Spirit. She lowered herself closer the ground, making her limbs inaccessible and tucked her head and then lunged at the fae's neck and savagely snapped at the joints.

Kiarra

Kiarra lunged towards Dangerous Summer when she went for Moon Spirit. Snapping at her with her strong jaws she tried to grab her by the back leg, she had her head tucked down so that her neck was safe as she attacked.

Raven

Raven snarled at the youngster as he slashed her side. It was nothing seriouse though. Standing up to her full height she tucked her head down and lunged towards Ankh with her ivories bared. She tried to grab him by the back of the neck, if she got ahold of him she bit down hard.

Dangerous Summer

Dangerous Summer closed on Moon spirit's neck, but let go as she felt teeth graze her hind limb. She whirled around and saw Demon's little brat, Kiarra. She tucked her head and charged, snapping at the young adult’s from paw. "It's been a while, Kiarra." She snarled and circled the fae slowly before lunging again.

Moon Spirit

Moon leaped to the side so that only a corner of her neck had been bit. But she smiled as Dangerous Summer Let her go. Good. Now she could go and kill Fresca. She leaped over the two and stood in front of Fresca her ivories bared. "Hello Fresca. You certainly dont know me. But you will bow before me. Or leave. Like a coward. But that wouldnt surprise me. I have seen man cowards in my life." Moon Spirit had her body low and her neck down. She was ready to spring if needed and ready to attack when felt.

Ninaki & Kenyon

Ninaki paused for a moment, judging the enemies. Danger. Without a snarl or growl, the hybrid rushed through the melee and plungded his lithe body forward to bring his jaws within reach of Danger's shoulder as the wolf tried to collied with Bullet. He would bite down hard if he reached his mark.

Kenyon was larger than his brother Ankh, though not quite as skilled. Joining his brother, the young hybrid launched an array of attacks at Raven, slashing at her where ever he could and then leaping away.

Raven

Raven snarled at the other adolesant wolf as he attacked her; jumping out of the way of his many attacks she snarled once more. She then lunged for his shoulder, if she got a hold on it she it down hard, really hard.

Kiarra

She snarled and leapt out of the way of Dangerous Summer's attack. She grinned at her, "yes, it's been a long time" she said through gritted teath. She kept her neck protected and lunged for the back of the other wolfess's neck.

Death

Death trotted into the land of Sedge Creek. He saw Moon Spirit. And Sasha. And the others. He stayed here he was. He would jump into the fight when needed

Hydras, Bullet, & Ankh

Hydras was so intent upon getting Fresca that she failed to notice the foe speeding towards her side. She was knocked from her feet and scrambled madly to pull herself up before her vulerable neck and stomach were attacked. Hardly before she began to regain her feet, her jaws were raving for a hold on Vindari, somewhere around her neck or face.

Bullet didn't slow down even as he saw Danger plowing straight for him. He crashed right into the brute at the highest speed he could muster in his short charge, with his own fangs ready to slash at whatever flesh came in contact with them. He felt Danger's fangs score their mark on his skin as he struck the other as his jaws seeked out a claim on his enemy.

Ankh would have evaded Raven's attack, but Dangerous Summer had caught his hind leg. He was pulled back and Raven managed to bite down on the back of his neck, but thanks to his father's genes, he had a very thick ruff to protect his vitals there. Once both wolves released their hold, he was at Raven again. As she turned her attention on Kenyon, Ankh took the opportunity to lunge up and try to seize her throat.

Fresca

It was a total shock to have her old enemies come storming into her pack lands; it was the last thing she expected and needed. But being an alpha taught her to act quick in strenous situations. So now she faced Moon Spirit,"We'll see about that." Fresca said heatedly with her head tucked down and hackles raised. She was a mix of dog and carried no strain of wolf; none that made a real difference in her genetic makeup anyway. She was a shy bit smaller than the average wolf but was strong for her size and enduring. She made a spring for Moon Spirit, but before bringing her jaws to close on the wolf, she dodged to the side and tried to grab her neck.

Raven

Hr consintration was on Kenyon when Ankh attacked, manageing to grab ahold of her throat. With a snarl she tried to shake him off, all the while biting at Kenyon's shoulder.

Death and Moon Spirit

Moon Spirit went down on her stomach and rolled. When Fresca was near her she sprung up and tried to grab something on her. Anything. Always let the enemy make the first move.

Death trotted down the hill he was on. He then charged at Fresca. Him and Moon would take her down. He would prove himself Worthy.

Fresca

The alpha brought her body down when Moon Spirit did to help protect more of her vitals. But that didn't stop the wolf from getting ahold over Fresca's upper leg. Not trying to pull from the hold, lest she want the muscles to be torn or perhaps her shoulder jarred from location, she simply went for a hold on Moon Spirit. Though she'd bite down where ever her jaws landed, she attempted to get a hold on the side of her neck again. She hadn't noticed Death coming for her yet.

Kenyon

He yelped as his shoulder was caught by Raven. He was stronger but not nearly quicker than his brother or any of his other siblings. At first he tried to pull away from her, then he began to snap at her muzzle.

Raven

Every time he stapped at her muzzle she bit down harder, shaking her head so her teeth could dig down deeper into the young wolf's flesh, hopfully to find the vital life vein that was there.

Ankh

Ankh clentched his jaws tightly to drive his fangs as deep as they could go into her neck. His jaws didn't posses quite the power to make a deadly bite all at once, but giving time, he could make a kill if his hold was good enough. To try and help his brother, Ankh bunched his body and pulled his legs up so that Raven would be dragged closer to the ground as all his wieght was placed at her neck.

Death and Moon Spirit

Moon Held onto her hold. She then felt a stabbing pain as Fresca grabbed ahold of her side....

Death put on more speed as he aimed for a spot at Fresca. He would ram her. Kill her. Or make her back down

Danger and Co.

Danger tucked his head lower and met Bullet head on. Bullet's fangs hit their mark and let a series of scratches on his side. He lunged at Bullet as Ninaki made a dash for his shoulder. Ninaki's fangs tore into his side and knocked him off balance. Danger recoiled and rolled out of Ninaki's and Bullet's range. He regained his ground and launched himself back into the fray. He bowled into Ninaki and snapped viciously at his throat before turning on Bullet and trying to shove him roughly aside with his shoulder.

Dangerous Summer ducked close to the ground and let Kiarra collide with her back. As soon as the fae felt Kiarra's incisors touch her back, she whirled and rammed herself and Kiarra into the passer bier, Death. She had put herself in Death's path towards Fresca and temporarily obstructed the titan's path. "Detour!" Her growl was haughty as she lashed out at the male's eyes and attempted to close her jaws down on his leg. She did not worry about Kiarra because it was impossible for the young adult to keep hold on her taught back.

Vindari's back of her neck was caught and shook herself roughly before throwing herself on the ground and snapping harshly at Hydras' forepaw. If she caught her mark, she would start to yank the limb roughly.

Kiarra

With a snarl Kiarra lost her grip and was flung from the other's back. But as soon as she got her balance she ran towards Dangerous Summer, teeth bared. She snapped at the wolfess's neck, "leave him alone!" She said angryly.

Raven

As the other wolf dug his teeth into her neck she didn't even wince at the pain. But as he curled up and pulled her down to the ground she still held onto Kenyon's shoulder, ripping the flesh.

Ninaki & Kenyon

Kenyon yelped again as her teeth caused more damage to his shoulder, coming closer to the bone and one of the great veins that lay closer there. His assult on her muzzle become more intense. He would bite hard and thrash his head to tear up the skin as much as he could.

Ninaki felt Danger's fangs tear through his neck, leaving a deep wound. But his thick collie-like ruff protected from even more damage. He sprung towards Danger's backside and away from his deadly ivories to let Bullet deal with them for the moment. His own jaws seeked out a quick hold on Danger's flank where they could tear through important muscles and make the wolf slower in attacking.

Death and Moon Spirit

Death saw Danger come in front of him. He snarled and turned as sharp as he could. It was hard to do at full speed. He slid aways and nearly collided with Danger. He kept his body low and snapped at her face before leaping forward away from her. And once more towards Moon and Fresca

Hydras, Bullet & Ankh

Hydras yanked her paw up at the expense of long furrow over the skin where the wolf's teeth tore through. She wasn't sure if anything vital lay between the skin her jaws clentched, but she bit down and thrashed violently to damage what ever might be there. Being an alpha and fairly large canine anyway, Hydras tried to force Vindari to the ground.

Bullet struck out for Danger's neck as he had gone for Ninaki's. He counter's the wolf's shove by throwing his own body at him the same time.

Ankh began to shake his entire head and body from side to side and lunge back with all his strength, putting great strain on her neck and forcing his teeth deep into her skin as the jaws squeezed together more.

Raven

Kenyon had cut open her muzzle with his teeth, now she had blood all over her muzzle. When Ankh pulled her neck he had ripped it, making a very deep womb, but not near any vital veins. She snarled at him, wincing a bit at the pain in her neck.

Fresca

She wouldn't back down; she hadn't before and she wasn't going to start now. What would Ebony have to come home to if she gave up now? Sinking her teeth deeper into Moon Spirit's the alpha began to shake her head wildly to mangle the tissues she had hold of. To cause blood loss and shock if she could. It hurt her captured fore leg to thrash about as she was, but she had to do what she must to survive.

Death and Moon Spirit

Death had reached Fresca. He struck her with all his might.....

Moon also shook her head ignoring the pain that had erupted throughout her body

Kenyon

Kenyon held back any sounds of pain though they threatened to come out. He now aimed his attack at her nose, hoping to cause blood to fill up there and make it hard for her to breath. He felt her canines dig deeper and deeper through muscel but he strived to outlast his opponent. Kenyon's fighting spirit might prevail, but his shoulder could only put up with so much abuse. Sooner or later the bone would break if she continued to bite down with all her strength.

Fresca

She couldn't block Death's blow. Grinding her teeth deep into Moon Spirit's flesh, Fresca fell down. But if she fell or rolled across the ground from this blow, she'd be taking Moon Spirit with her. The alpha tried to shift her bite so that her fangs could be over the wolf's windpipe.

Death and Moon Spirit

Once Fresca was on the ground Death went in for his own attack. He started slashing at her. He then dove for her throat....

Moon felt herself going down. She tried to stay standin and felt her throat starting to tear....But she ended up falling. Her hold on Fresca was stronger than ever. She felt Fresca starting to shift and saw Death doing a score on her. Moon shifted herself. She threw her neck backwards (away from Fresca) and tried to pull it away from her.

Danger and Co.

Danger looked up in time to see Death coil. He knew what was coming next. "VINDARI, FRESCA!" The dragga roared with all his might and snapped at Ninaki, pulling away with a sickening tear. A tremendous gash was the result of Danger's pull away, but it wouldn't hinder him. He shot at Death with an enrage snarl. He was almost upon him, but some one else got there first. So instead of lunging at Death, he snapped at Moon Spirit with malicious intent. The last alpha of the alley pack would NOT die on his watch!

Vindari's muzzle was raked with a series of scratches and blood was everywhere. She wrenched her maw out of Hydras' grasp and, being the closest, leapt at Death. She shoved his harshly aside and was at his neck in seconds. "Don't you DARE!" Her jaws locked around his neck and she strove to reach his jugular.

Dangerous Summer whirled around and shot after her father and sister, circling quickly, ready to strike the first that come near.

Fresca

Fresca took advantage of Moon Spirit's position. She had ahold of her leg so she couldn't move her head unless she relinquished her hold. Missing her target on Moon Spirit's throat, Fresca instead attemped to clamp her jaws down over the front of the wolf's face where she might damage an eye and certainly break through to the facial bones.

With only one front leg really free, Fresca pulled it up to her throat for protection. Death's jaws came close on her foreleg. Giving up her perchase on the ground, she kicked out at him with her hind legs.

Raven

As he attacked her nose the blood begain ti fill up around it. But she shook her head to sling it away from her nose, plus when she shook her head she tore deeper into his flesh.

Death and Moon Spirit buddy

Buddy saw what was going on and charged from his place. He collieded with he knew not. And headed towards Death and Moon Spirit. He stood next to Death facing the other way for any attackers came while Death had his back turned

Moon had moved her face just in time. Barely. Fresca had bitten beneath her eye and it was starting to bleed profusly. She let go of Frescas leg and went for something entirely different.

Hydras, Bullet, & Ankh

Not missing a beat, Hydras sprung with Vindari as she went for Death. Being along side her, Hydras lunged to the side and dipped her head down and over, trying to hit Vindari and trip her up. If she wasn't able to trip her, her teeth were snapping violently at the wolf's soft underside.

"Watch out!" Bullet barked loudly to Death, not knowing his name but only that he was an ally. He trailed a hair's breath behind Danger. When the brute went for Moon Spirit, Bullet didn't stop running but aimed to plow straight into the back of Danger and send him crashing forward and hopefully missing his aim. Bullet's jaws sought to clentch down on the wolf's hindquarters like Ninaki had done.

Ankh released his hold suddenly. While Raven's jaws were occupied, Ankh came in low and lunged up to take her by the throat, and this time under it just behind her bottom jaws. There he could easily seek her jugular viens and windpipe as well as damage jaw muscels.

Raven

With a snarl she was forced to let go of Kenyon when Ankh grabbed her throat. She new she was in a tight spot but didn't let it show. She snappped at his back, trying to get a hold of any part of him.

Ninaki & Kenyon

Ninaki pursued Danger nearly as close as Bullet. But the beta didn't have the mass as his packmate, so ramming danger wouldn't be so effective. Instead, he hurtled on past Danger and towards his daughter who was circling around. Hoping to protect Hydras and Bullet from her attack, Ninaki lunged for a hind leg to slash at it. He kept the bulk of his body away from her so only his head was in imediate reach.

Kenyon was about to lunge at Raven when she released him, but his torn shoulder gave out and he collapsed. Blood seeped steadily from the shoulder and permeated his thick fur. Staggering up, he eased the weight from his one front leg as best as he could before plundging his body forward. His raving jaws meant to clamp down on Raven's neck, further below where his brother had bitten.

Raven

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Kenyon lunge and managed to step out of his way. Consentrating of Ankh she snarled, bitting down on whatever she could.

Ankh

Even though he was smaller, his ruff was much thicker than his brothers; it was thick like a collie. As he clentched his jaws down on her throat as strong as he could, he felt her teeth penatrate his ruff. With his hold that he wasn't willing to give up, he couldn't avoid her attack. Her teeth penatrated his ruff and dug into his back, just behind his shoulders. He squirmed and bucked his young body which tore more at Raven's throat, though it may also cause her teeth to tear more at his back. He only hoped it would prevent her from getting a good grip on him.

Raven

Relizing that she wasn't going to get him to let her go she stopped biting him. Suddenly an idea came to her; all of a sudden she went limp, holding her breath as well. Hanging in his jaws. She hoped he would let her go then, thinking he would think she was dead.

Ankh

Ankh held her throat for a moment before releasing it. His glanced over at his brother, "I think we won." he said with a slight grin tugging at his muzzle. He tilted his head slightly and looked down at Raven, feeling a bit of pity. But he was mostly proud for helping his pack and 'killing' this wolf; he didn't have enough experience in fighting to understand that she was alive. She had stopped moving a breathing, and that was enough to clarify her dead.

Death and Moon Spirit buddy and storm Warning

Storm came charging doown the hill. He knew of this trick. He himself had used it to get out of a tight spot. He slashed at raven. "Hold her. I dont care what you think. Just pin her down!!!" Storm was expeirienced when it came to fighting. He went and loped over to where Moon and Death were. Along with Buddy

Raven

Before Ankh had a chance to pin her she had jumped up and lunged at his unprotected throat, determination burned in her eyes.

Ankh

At the other's warning, Ankh glared down at Raven and saw her suddenly come back to life as she went for his throat. He whirled agily to the side while pulling his head back to move his throat away from her as quick as possible. She caught him at the side of the neck where his unusually thick ruff shielded his vitals better than most. "Kenyon!" he barked out sharply, calling his brother to aid him. "Get her throat!" Taking his youth to advantage, Ankh bucked his lithe body and writhed under Raven's grasp, making sure she wouldn't get a better hold on his neck; and one that might kill him. He was the most cunning of his siblings.

Fresca

With her leg free, Fresca sprung back from Moon Spirit just as her jaws closed on a bunch of tawny brown fur. The alpha snarled at the sting of so much fur ripped out, but that was forgotten quickly. Just as soon as she had moved back to avoid the wolf's fangs, Fresca lunged forward again. This time to tried to grab the back of Moon Spirit's neck, near the base of her skull.

Kenyon

He was just about to come over and investigate the 'dead' Raven when she came back to the living. Giving a startled growl, he sprung at her. With her jaws aiming for his brother, Raven's neck was wide open for an attack.

Raven

Raven wasn't as quick as the adolesants so she couldn't avoid Kenyon's attack. His teeth sunk into her skin, but her fur was thick, helping protect her. She snarled and shook at Ankh's neck, trying to get to a more vital area on him.

Ankh

He continued his endless struggle, never slowing down a moment as he dashed his paws heavily against the ground, giving himself as much momentum as he could to pull his body away from Raven. Everytime she tried to shift her jaws for a better hold, he pulled to provent it. His flesh and muscle were torn badly between her jaws and he could help but give way to sharp yelps when ever she thrashed her skull. Blood began to mat in his thick, dark ruff.

Kenyon

He was surprised to hear his brother cry out in pain; he had never heard him do this before. Boiling with sudden anger and a renewed reason for killing the wolfess before him, Kenyon released her neck for just a fraction of time. He tensed his muscels before his large peds launched him up and drove his fangs for her throat where Ankh had las

Danger and Co.

Blazed's howl broke through the air and seconds later, he had skirted around the group. Night was falling and the black male was blending in with his surroundings, just as his father was. When he caught sight of Raven, he exploded into action and before anyone could do anything, he was at Kenyon's throat and shaking roughly, his fangs ripping mercilessly into Kenyon's thick fur.

Danger, as he heard his kin's call, slipped out of the group or fighters and circled around. He sprung back and snapped at Hydras' neck rapidly as she went for Vindari. Hydras wouldn’t get away this time.

Vindari tumbled and she rolled right into Death. She used it to her advantage and snapped at the other's soft under belly. She then swiped his stomach roughly before leaping to her feet and tucking her head. They were outnumbered and therefore, she had to attack and go, attack and go, a new victim every time. This time, though, she whirled around and lunged at Bullet and snapped at his neck, her jaws seeking to grab a hold of his throat.

Dangerous Summer escaped and launched herself towards Fresca, she stood before the wounded leader, ivories bared.

Death and Moon Spirit buddy and storm Warning

Death felt a slash at his stomach and he let go of Fresca. He lunged instead at Dangerous Summer whom was nearest him....

Ninaki & Kenyon

Ninaki had been right with Danger and slashing at his flank ever since the larger brute made for Death and Moon Spirit. He was still with him now as the titan went for his alpha-she. He was certainly smaller than Danger, but keen-footed and quick. The thick-ruffed hybrid sprang infront of Danger to sheild Hydras from his fangs. "Hydras, we need Skeil!" he said quickly as he began to slash at Danger's muzzle, hoping to counter and keep the foe's teeth from his own flesh.

Kenyon was tearing savagely at Raven, but didn't have time to see the damage he'd done before the other brute came thundering in. Kenyon didn't have quite the thick mane like his brother, though he did have more muscel. Once again, the young hybrid yelped out as his neck was torn into by the elder. Like Ankh was doing, Kenyon began to thrash and try to writhe his way out of Blazed grasp, or at least keep his vitals from the deadly fangs.

Hydras, Bullet, & Ankh

Hydras sprung away from the scene only a short distance while Ninaki tried to hold Danger at bay. She gave out a simple, short howl to call for Skeil. Then she glanced around for her other pack members; Saquoia and Jake? Where where they? No time to wonder, she had to keep attacking. The alpha noticed that her nephew was in trouble so she charged for Blazed. While he was attacking Kenyon's throat, Hydras went for the male's throat.

Bullet had kept with Danger as well until he noticed Vindari coming for him. He wasn't quite as agile as the fae's, but was still pretty quick. The large hybrid ducked his head down as Vindari's fangs dug into the side of his neck. Insantly his jaws struck out to seize on of her front limbs.

Ankh continued to struggle against Raven. But now, as he pulled his body back from her as always, his teeth struck out at her already marred muzzle.

Raven

Out of the corner of her eye she saw her mate coming, it felt good to see him. But she had to consintrate on the brat she was trying to kill. Kenyon had torn her neck up badly, now the blood was covering up her throat. When Ankh started attacking her muzzle she bit down harder on his neck, shaking her head to dig her ivories deeper into his flesh. But when she saw Hydras coming for Blazed she used all her strength to jerk Ankh into her path, that way instead of attacking Blazed, she would attack her own nephew...

Kiarra

Along with Death she lnged at Dangerous Summer, keeping her head down to protect her neck.

Death and CO

Saquioa and Jake came stealthly out of the trees....Saquioa went towards where Raven was fighting. She would help kill her. Jake went the opposite direction....towards Moon

Hydras & Ankh

She dug her paws into the ground, skidding to a halt just before she would have slammed into Ankh. She took a step back and saw Saquioa and Jake, "Jake, kill Fresca!" she ordered before glancing to Saquioa, "Kill this one!" she said, nodding her muzzle once towards Raven. The alpha dodged around Blazed other side now and went for his throat.

Ankh paused in his fierce struggle when he saw the massive form of his aunt come hurtling towards him. He cowered down an instand, expecting her to crash into him, but it wasn't so. He continued to throw his body back and kick desperately at the ground to get away. Once again his teeth were set to tear at her muzzle.

Kenyon & Aidan

Adain had come to to fight after being informed by his mother. His pack's fresh scent was enough to guide him to this unfamiliar terrian, and their fierce struggles were easy to recognize in the otherwise cold silence of encrouching night. His brother's plantive cries came to ear as the youth burst into the territory with his hackles raised angrily. So many canines! He wasn't sure just who was friend or foe, but Blazed and Raven were obviously and that's who he went to. While he aunt went for Blazed's neck, Aidan went for the brute's hind leg and tried to bite stright into the tendon there.

Kenyon continued to yelp, unable to hold it in. He was the largest and so it seemd he might be the toughest; but that wasn't so. At least not yet.

Death and CO

Saquioa didnt need to be told. She fought for herself. She had been planning to go for Raven though. Saquioaa went behind Raven quietly. Knowing that with all the noise Raven wouldnt even know she was there....she was downwind out of sight...and ready. Saquioa leaped and went for Ravens spine. Makung no noise....almost certain her aim would work.

Raven

Raven felt the wolf attack her back, but thankfully if hadn't gotten near her spine. Saquioa had managed to grab the top of her shoulder. Raven ignored the other and bit down harder on Ankh's neck.

Ankh

Ankh felt more skin tearing under the cruel fangs and still his shrill cries of pain were made in response. Shock began to close in on his body, dulling the pain to an extent but also fogging his mind. He tried to clear the haze from his brain and blink away the dazzling lights in his eyes as he pulled against Raven's jaws. He couldn't focus on anyone or anything now except these fangs at his neck which he had to get away from.

Raven

Raven smiled at his yelp of pain and dug down deeper into his flesh when he tried pulling away.

Hydras

Hydras gave up on her assult on Blazed, whether she wounded his throat or not. Jake would take care of him. Her target was Fresca; this would be an alpha battle now. Slipping though the tangle of bodies, she came from Fresca's side and attempted to get a hold on her throat while she was busy worrying about the others attacking her.

Fresca

It indeed was a confusing tangle of canines fighting in her terra and very difficult to keep track of who was where. While she tried going for Moon Spirit's throat, Hydras caught her. Snarling in surprise, the alpha attempted to pull back before Hydras could get a deep grip.

Death and CO

Moon growled at Hydras. This had been her fight. She wanted too be alpha of this pack. She wanted to earn it. Not have someone give it to her.

Hydras & Ankh

Hydras snarled deeply in response to Moon Spirit. Her jaws clentched tightly against her foe's throat, hoping to leave a serious wound before she released and jumped back. "Be quicker to finish her off! This fight needs to end soon." Hydras retorted, holding back some more demeaning words she had. The last thing Hydras wanted was to make an enemy in place of where she was trying to eliminate one. But her alpha-ego didn't permit her to simply submit to Moon Spirit's wishes. "Now be quick before any on our side gets killed." was her last command to the soon-to-be alpha, as she hoped. She used 'our side' to imply that she held no grudge against Moon Spirit.

Hydras dashed through the fighting bodies again to reach her nephew. "Lets squelch this vermin's life." she stated to Saquoia, speaking of Raven. The alpha-she sprung at wolf and attempted to grab her throat for a deadly hold.

Ankh continued his struggling, not allowing Raven to perchase a better hold on his neck.

Raven

Raven had had her neck down to protect her throat so Hydras had only grabbed fur. Snarling she bit down harder on Ankh's neck and slung him towards his aunt with all her strength, trying to hit her with his body.

Death and CO

Saquioa had let go of Raven. When she heard Hydras' words she pouted a little. And she had wanted to play. Oh well. The wolf Raven would have died either way. Saquioa cam around so that she was behind Ankh. "Be Still." She hissed. She then leaped as high as she could and tried to get a hold on Ravens shoulder....

Moon smiled "Perfect" She leaped up feinted for Frescas stomach then at the last moment went for the neck.....

Fresca

She felt her arch enemy's fangs tear into her neck, but not hit any vitals. She was about to lunge after Hydras but saw Moon Spirit coming from the side of her eyes. Whirling around, Fresca attempted to protect her stomach, but found out too late that it wasn't the intended target. Before she could right her mistake by shifting her posture, Moon Spirit had a hold of her neck. Fresca pulled back, trying to free herself. Her front paws dashed out against Moon Spirit's face.

Koren

Koren had taken leave of the ranch and was pounding furiously towards his father's calls. Revenge was on the menu tonight. His speed was incredible for his titanic size, graceful and deadly combined. He shot into the melee with a ferocious snarl, shoving aside Hydras as he made a beeline to Fresca. The mammoth brute snapped his jaws around the one holding Fresca with a enraged snarl. His muscled form shook violently as he savagely tore at the other's hind leg. He was not aiming to dislodge her now, because he had realized Hydras was alone. Her pack was responsible for the passing of his mother. She would take the full blame now. His large ebony form shot like a bullet to Hydras and he snapped viciously as he bore down on her. He aimed to latch on to her fore leg.

Death and CO

Moon felt her hold and wasnt about to let go. She felt this new wolf bite her but let go. She was releived for this. But she then found Fresca clawing at her face. She growled and tightened her hold. She wasnt about to let go

Ninaki, Kenyon, & Aidan

Ninaki was still slashing at Danger, trying to keep the brute occupied while also trying to avoid as much damage as he could from the larger wolf.

Kenyon was still being thrashed at the mercy of Blazed. His fangs lashed and tore at what ever flesh they could reach on the attacker.

Aidan had been tearing at Blazed's hind limb, trying to tear the larger tendon in the area. But he saw his alpha was in trouble. "Stop!" He barked out at Koren, then lunged forward to slam into the wolf bearing down on Hydras. He was smaller than Koren and not nearly as strong, but he would still defend his alpha as best as he could. But at risk of loosing his 'home' at the Ranch, Aidan didn't use his fangs against Koren. He just tried to divert his path.

Danger and Co.

Danger had taken many scratches along his face and neck as he and Ninaki fought. Deciding to try and end this quarrel, he lunged at Ninaki, jaws open and aiming to strike Ninaki's neck.

Blazed was holding on to Kenyon with all his might. He wanted to so bad to release him and attack the one at his leg, but then his mate would be in serious trouble. He tightened his grip as pain shot through his torn leg. It seemed he'd been just about to let go when Aidan was gone. Puzzled, he glanced over and spied his brother. That traitor was trying to make up for choosing humans over his kin. Blazed thought better of it to let go and give the traitor what he deserved because if Koren got Hydras, they'd be relieved of one long time enemy.

Dangerous Summer had been standing there, alone and out of danger, for some time. She was assessing the happenings with intense interest. When the time was right, she dove in and lunged for Death's neck with a savage snarl.

Vindari yelped as he paw was caught. She instantly released Bullet's neck and yanked her paw out of his jaws. With a snarl, she circled him and made to shut her haws around his shoulder.

Koren skidded to a halt just before Hydras as Aidan stepped in. "Aidan? What? Why are you defending her?" He slowed as it dawned on him. "You're part of their pack!" He made to jump the other but skirted around him and snapped at Hydras' fore limb.

Hydras, Bullet, Skeil, & Ankh

Aidan had given Hydras the time to realize another enemy had showed up and was aiming an attack at her. She wheeled around just as Koren finished speaking and was making his way around to attack. As he came forward, the alpha sprung nimbly back and arched her neck down, trying for a hold on his muzzle or face.

Bullet brought his head down and tried to whirl around and defend his shoulder from Vindari. But the bruja was just a fraction faster and had sunk her teeth into their intended target. Snarling deeply with the pain, he prepared to make his own grasp on her neck, just behind her bottom jaw.

Ankh had dug frantically at the ground, clawing up dirt and vegetation as he tried to stop Raven from thrashing him. The skin on his neck was giving more and more to Raven's abuse, and soon it would be removed completely if she didn't let up. Ankh would be momentarily free from her grasp, but it would also leave a deep, gaping hole in his neck that would be sure to invite infection.

Skeil had arrived at last, being slower than her fellow pack mates. She looked around urgently a moment before picking her opponent. Giving rise a bloodcudling snarl, the pit bull tore across the ground towards Blazed. Since she was lower to the ground, it was easier for her to reach the underside of the neck of a taller canid. And with Blazed putting up with the struggling Kenyon, she'd be sure to hit her mark if he didn't let go to defend himself. So without slowling down much, Skeil sprung for his throat.

Ninaki, Kenyon, & Aidan

Ninaki jumped back agiley from Danger's lunge. His fangs lashed out again at the titan's muzzle. Ninaki rushed lightly to Danger's side and struck for his stomach this time. Like Danger, his muzzle carried the marks of Danger's fangs.

Kenyon was still unable to do much. But when he saw Skeil coming, he tried his best to plant his feet down to hold his body as still as possible, giving Skeil an easier target to attack. "You big brute!" he growled out, then yelped again at the pain. "I'm gonna kill you!!" he tried to distract Blazed with words as he struggled.

Aidan thought quickly, "No, you have it wrong! I use to be part of their pack! I live at the Ranch now!" It was mostly true, but their was a dark secret that he and his pack had to keep secret. Once again he sprung at Koren, except this time he tried to ram him in the side to knock the air out of him. He wouldn't resort to biting.

Raven

Raven felt the other wolfess's jaws close down on her shoulder and snarled. She shook her head with all her stength to tear Ankh's skin and flesh. With one last jerk she let go and slung him away. Wheling around to face to wolf that attacked her shoulder she snarled, biting at her neck.

Kiarra

Kiarra saw Dangerous Summer go for Death and charged towards her, tring to slam her body into the wolf to knock her away from Death. She had her head down to protect her neck and she tried to bite Dangerous Summer's shoulder.

Fresca

She felt the fangs dig into her flesh. Warm blood began to seep from the wounded tissue were Moon Spirit's fangs tore into. If Fresca didn't do something soon, she'd not only lose her alpha rank, but her life as well. She began to struggle more and clawed frantically at the wolf's eyes.

Ebony Sky

She had been gone along time and had finnaly returned. She hadent expected to see fighting but started snarling at the SLP's scent. She then saw that Fresca was in danger and charged

Demon

He had followed his packs scent. He was back and sorry for his absence. He howled out loud letting everyone know of his return but he realized the fighting and stoped in his tracks searching for the perfect enemy target.

Death and CO

Death had seen the fae comeing instead of getting Spirit she had got him. It was only by the shoulder....oh wait he had vital veins there. He snarled andstarted to rip at the fae

Moon felt a stabbing pain as Frescas claws hit part of her eye. She let out a yelp but didnt let go. Using her body she shifted and tried to pin Fresca down

Ebony Sky

She snarled and bit harder though he wasnt her main focuse. She saw that Fresca was in a bad position so she bit down harder on his sholder feeling his fangs rip at her side. Suddenly she releases and rams death quickly and lunged for Moon Spirit's neck once again. She wouldent let anything happen to Fresca.

Hydras, Skeil, Bullet, & Ankh

Hydras didn't realize Demon had returned until the wind brought his scent to her. While she was trying for a hold on Blazed's face or muzzle, her eyes searched for her mate.

Skeil had made her lunge for Blazed's throat and clamped her teeth around what ever they sunk into.

Bullet was still dealing with Vindari.

Ankh picked himself up from the ground, staggering slightly before gaining balance. "Demon?" he said uncertainly as he spotted the blurry image of his alpha. "Demon!" now his voice was more sure. "Come join the party!" the adolescent said jokingly, despite the severe wound he had to his neck. He turned and saw then the perfect opportunity. Raven's neck was arched right their for him as she tried to attack the one at her shoulder. Perfect. He thought and lunge for her, trying to sink his fangs into the soft of her throat. He was a bit wobbly on his legs, but he did his best to aim.

Demon

He quickly ran towards them. He yipped a quick greeting for he knew this wasnt a good time to stop and talk. He saw his mate, Hydras. But he saw that Ankh had a bad wound to his neck and hed help him first. He saw Ankh lunge for Raven's throat. So fro the oppisite side he lunged his teeth digging in her side as he tucked his neck so that his throat was protected.

*Plane*

A plane thundered down from the sky, diving low to the ground towards the open space where the canines fought. A shower of bullets suddenly rained down among them from the metal bird. If the canids didn't break up the fight right away and run for hiding, they were sure to be killed.

The plane pulled up and made a wide arc before coming back around to shoot again...

Death

Death yelped as a bullet hit next to him. He howled and trotted for the trees unable to move fast. He could hear his friends behind him. Unafraid they waited for the others

Hydras, Bullet, Skeil, Ankh

Hydras gave a sharp, quick bark in warning. Instantly she broke from the fight and made a dash for cover. She halted half way to the trees and looked back. Skeil and Ankh were making for a nearby stand of vegetation while Bullet was heading in the opposite direction. Everyone was running, she hoped. A bullet snarled by her head, warning her to continue to safety. The alpha bolted again and made it into cover. She stopped near Death and looked out into the open. "Hurry!" she howled out again, "Run from the terra!" Hydras knew their enemies were outnumbered; they would be fools to return to the terra to continue the fight. She turned to Death now, "This terra is open to be claimed now. It's open for one of your friends to have; so long as we remain allies."

Skeil and Ankh made it to cover, crouching down fearfully as they watched their friends hide as well and bullets tear up the ground. "Lets get out of here; Hydras says the battle is over. We must leave before the humans land and search for us." the pit bull pointed out. Guiding the wounded Ankh, she led him out of the Sedge Creek cadre.

Bullet hesitated on the brink of the timberline, waiting for the rest of his pack. There were so many canines! His eyes could scarecly tell one from the other in the distant melee. He howled loudly, then hunkered down as the sound of bullets bursted nearby. He fled into the woods and howled once more, calling for his pack before running off as Hydas bayed them to do.

Danger and Co.

Danger shook himself roughly and sprinted for cover, his kin following dutifully. All had sustained many injuries, and it seemed that there was no hope. With a sharp call to his pack and allies, he informed them that they were pulling out. "Fresca, you can find at the Vast Plain." Vindari, Dangerous Summer, Koren, and Blazed followed Danger in a quick retreat.

Raven and Kiarra

Raven was about to attack Hydras back when the plane came. Bullets shot all around her as she ran after Blazed and the others. One struck her in the shoulder and she couldn't help but yelp at the stinging pain. She limped after them, blood covering her side...

Kiarra smiled when Raven was hit and dissapeared into the brush.

Ebony Sky

She wasnt sure where Fresca or the others were. SHe had heared Danger. She figured mabey Fresca had followed and darted after. Shed decide what to do from there.

Demon

He snarled as the bullets rained down. He quickly ran after the pack.

Fresca

It was possibly her lifesaver that the plane came. She was in dire straights with the others swarming around her and her allies being overrun. The de-throwned alpha headed quickly for the prairie.
